(a) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, and by execution from time to time of certain assignments substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (each, a “ Supplemental Conveyance ”) supplementing this Agreement, HRAC II hereby sells, transfers, assigns, sets over and otherwise conveys to MRI (collectively, the “ Conveyance ”), without recourse, all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Receivables of the Accounts existing on the Closing Date with respect to Initial Accounts and the related Additional Cut-Off Date with respect to Additional Accounts and thereafter created from time to time until the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article VIII hereof, all Interchange and Recoveries allocable to such Receivables, all monies due or to become due and all amounts received or receivable with respect thereto, all Collections with respect thereto and all proceeds (including “proceeds” as defined in the UCC) thereof (the “ Purchased Assets ”). The Receivables existing in Accounts on the Closing Date with respect to Initial Accounts and the related Additional Cut-Off Date with respect to Additional Accounts and thereafter arising in such Accounts on or prior to such dates, and the related Purchased Assets, shall be sold by HRAC II and purchased by MRI on the Closing Date with respect to Initial Accounts and the related Addition Date with respect to Additional Accounts. Receivables arising after such dates in such Accounts and the related Purchased Assets shall be sold by HRAC II and purchased by MRI on the date such Receivables arise.

     (b) In connection with each Conveyance of Receivables arising under Accounts, HRAC II agrees (i) to record and file, at its own expense, any financing statements (and amendments with respect to such financing statements when applicable) with respect to such Receivables and the related Purchased Assets, meeting the requirements of applicable state law in such manner and in such jurisdictions as are necessary to perfect, and maintain perfection of, the Conveyance of such Receivables and other Purchased Assets from HRAC II to MRI, and to deliver such documents to MRI as soon as practicable after the Closing Date, in the case of Receivables arising in the Initial Accounts, and as soon as practicable after the applicable Addition Date, in the case of Receivables arising in Additional Accounts, (ii) to cause such financing statements and amendments to name HRAC II, as seller, and MRI, as purchaser, of such Receivables and other Purchased Assets and (iii) to deliver a file-stamped copy of such financing statements or amendments or other evidence of such filings to MRI (and to one or more Applicable Transferees, if MRI so directs) as soon as is practicable after filing.

     (c) In connection with each Conveyance of Receivables arising under Accounts, HRAC II further agrees that it will, at its own expense, (i) on or prior to the Closing Date or the respective Addition Date, as applicable, indicate in its computer files and microfiche lists that Receivables created in connection with such Accounts and the related Purchased Assets have been sold to MRI in accordance with this Agreement and the Supplemental Conveyance and (ii) on or prior to the date that is five Business Days after the Closing Date or the respective Addition Date, as applicable, deliver to MRI (and to one or more Applicable Transferees, if MRI so directs) a computer file or microfiche list containing a true and complete list of all such Accounts specifying for each such Account, as of the Closing Date or the Additional Cut-Off Date, as applicable, (A) its account number, (B) the aggregate amount outstanding in such Account and (C) the aggregate amount of Principal Receivables in such Account (the “ Account Schedule ”).

9


 

Such computer files and microfiche lists, as supplemented from time to time to reflect Accounts and Removed Accounts, shall be marked as Schedule 1 to this Agreement, shall be delivered to MRI (and to one or more Applicable Transferees, if so directed by MRI), shall be marked as proprietary and confidential, and are hereby incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement. An updated Account Schedule reflecting Automatic Additional Accounts shall be delivered quarterly by HRAC II to MRI no later than one month following the end of each fiscal quarter.

     (d) The parties hereto intend that the conveyance of HRAC II’s right, title and interest in and to the Purchased Assets pursuant to this Agreement and any Supplemental Conveyance shall constitute an absolute sale, conveying good title free and clear of any Liens from HRAC II to MRI and that the Purchased Assets shall not be part of HRAC II’s estate in the event of the insolvency of HRAC II or a bankruptcy or similar event with respect to HRAC II. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the arrangements with respect to the Purchased Assets pursuant to this Agreement and any Supplemental Conveyance shall constitute a purchase and sale of such Purchased Assets and not a loan or borrowing secured by such Purchased Assets, including for accounting purposes. In the event, however, that notwithstanding such intent it were determined that the transactions evidenced hereby constitute a loan or borrowing and not a purchase and sale, it is the intention of the parties hereto that this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law, and that HRAC II shall be deemed to have granted, and HRAC II does hereby grant, to MRI a first priority perfected security interest in all of HRAC II’s right, title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in, to and under the Receivables and other Purchased Assets.

          Section 2.02. Addition of Accounts .

     (a) (i) If, from time to time, MRI (A) becomes obligated to designate Supplemental Accounts pursuant to subsection 2.6(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, or (B) elects to designate Supplemental Accounts pursuant to subsection 2.6(d) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, then, in either case, MRI may, at its option, give HRAC II written notice thereof on or before the fifth Business Day prior to the Addition Date therefor, and upon receipt of such notice HRAC II shall on or before the Addition Date, designate sufficient Eligible Accounts to be included as Supplemental Accounts as requested by MRI.

          (ii) Additionally, HRAC II may, with the consent of MRI, designate newly originated Eligible Accounts to be included as Automatic Additional Accounts.
