ARTICLE II
TRANSFERS OF
RECEIVABLES
Section 2.01. Agreement to
Sell .
(a) Receivables Sales .
Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Seller agrees to
sell, without recourse except to the limited extent specifically
provided herein, to Buyer on the Effective Date and on each
Business Day thereafter prior to the delivery of an Election Notice
relating to such Seller (each such date, a “ Transfer
Date ” and each such sale, a “ Sale ”)
all Receivables owned by it on each such Transfer Date, and Buyer
agrees to purchase all such Receivables on each such Transfer Date.
All such Sales by a Seller to Buyer shall collectively be evidenced
by a certificate of assignment substantially in the form of
Exhibit 2.01(a) (each, a “ Receivables
Assignment ,” and collectively, the “
Receivables Assignments ”), and each Seller and Buyer
shall execute and deliver a Receivables Assignment on or before the
Effective Date. For the avoidance of doubt, unless the Commitment
Termination Date has
Receivables Sale
Agreement
occurred, each Seller (other than any Seller in
respect of which an Election Notice has been delivered) shall
continue to transfer Receivables pursuant to this Agreement on each
Transfer Date following the delivery of an Election Notice in
respect of any Seller.
(b) Determination of Transferred
Receivables . On and as of each Transfer Date, all Receivables
then owned by each Seller and not previously acquired by Buyer
shall be sold to Buyer (each such Receivable, individually, a
“ Transferred Receivable ” and, collectively,
the “ Transferred Receivables ”).
(c) Payment of Purchase Price
. (i) In consideration of each Sale of Transferred Receivables
hereunder, Buyer shall pay to the Seller thereof or its designee on
the Transfer Date therefor the applicable Purchase Price
(x) in Dollars in immediately available funds or
(y) otherwise in the manner provided in this
Section 2.01(c) . All cash payments by Buyer under this
Section 2.01(c)(i) shall be made on the day when due to
such account or accounts as the Sellers may designate from time to
time.
(ii) The Purchase Price for
Transferred Receivables shall be paid by Buyer on each Transfer
Date (including the initial Transfer Date) as follows:
(A) first, by netting the amount of
any Purchase Price Credits then due to Buyer against such Purchase
Price;
(B) second, after satisfaction of
all Purchase Price Credits, to the extent available for such
purpose (as determined by Buyer), cash of the Buyer in Dollars or
other immediately available funds; and
(C) subject to the terms of
Section 2.05 hereto, by means of addition to the
principal amount of the Subordinated Note (each such addition, a
“ Subordinated Loan ”) to Buyer in an amount
equal to the balance of the Purchase Price. The Subordinated Loans
of a Seller shall be evidenced by a subordinated promissory note
substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.01(c)(ii) hereto (a
“ Subordinated Note ”) executed by Buyer and the
Seller Agent, for the account of the Sellers. Any such addition to
the principal amount of the Subordinated Note shall be allocated
among the Sellers (pro rata according to the aggregate purchase
price for the Receivables sold by each Seller on such day) by the
Seller Agent in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 2.01(c)(ii)(C ) and Section 2.08. The
Subordinated Loans shall bear interest and be payable as provided
in the Subordinated Note. In no event shall a Subordinated Loan be
made in a manner or amount prohibited by the terms of the
Subordinated Note or Section 2.05 . The Seller Agent
may evidence such additional principal amounts by recording the
date and amount thereof on the grid attached to the Subordinated
Note; provided, however, that the failure to make any such
recordation or any error in such grid shall not adversely affect
any Seller’s rights.
(d) The Seller Agent shall be
responsible for allocating among the Sellers the payment of the
Purchase Price and any amounts netted therefrom pursuant to
Section 2.01(c)(ii)(A) or credited to Buyer pursuant
Section 2.01(c)(ii)(A) or paid in the form of cash to
be paid pursuant to Section 2.01(c)(ii)(B) or in the
form of an addition to the principal amount of the Subordinated
Loan pursuant Section 2.01(c)(ii)(C) . All amounts
payable by Buyer in respect of the Purchase Price shall be paid by
Buyer to an account of the Seller Agent for allocation by the
Seller Agent to the respective Sellers (ratably in accordance with
the portion of the Purchase Price owing to each). Each of the
Sellers hereby appoints the Seller Agent as its agent for purposes
of receiving such payments, making such allocations and taking
any
Receivables Sale
Agreement
2
other actions hereunder on its behalf and hereby
authorizes Buyer to make all payments due to such Seller directly
to, or as directed by, the Seller Agent. The Seller Agent hereby
accepts and agrees to such appointment. Any such payment by Buyer
to or at the direction of the Seller Agent shall constitute a full
and complete discharge of Buyer’s liability for the amounts
so paid, whether or not the proceeds of such payment are properly
distributed by the Seller Agent to the applicable Seller for whose
account such payment was made.
(e) Election Notice . If on
any Transfer Date, if any Seller will not sell all of its then
owned Receivables to Buyer, such Seller shall deliver to Buyer not
later than 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Business Day
immediately preceding such Transfer Date a notice of election
thereof (each such notice, an “ Election Notice
”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no “Election
Notice” shall be deemed to be delivered for purposes of this
clause (e) if a Seller will not sell all of its then
owned Receivables from and after the date any merger or sale
agreement is entered into with respect to a Seller Disposition
pursuant to which (i) all or substantially all of such
Seller’s assets or (ii) all of the Equity Interests of
such Seller are transferred to a Person that is not (x) the
Parent or (y) a Subsidiary of the Parent. Any Election Notice
delivered pursuant to this clause (e) shall be
irrevocable.
(f) Ownership of Transferred
Receivables . On and after each Transfer Date and after giving
effect to the Sales to be made on each such date, Buyer shall own
the Transferred Receivables and no Seller shall take any action
inconsistent with such ownership nor shall any Seller claim any
ownership interest in such Transferred Receivables. It is
understood that the Sellers, the Parent and the Buyer may be
consolidated for accounting purposes, as required by
GAAP.
(g) Reconstruction of General
Trial Balance . If at any time any Seller fails to generate its
General Trial Balance, Buyer shall have the right to reconstruct
such General Trial Balance so that a determination of the
Transferred Receivables can be made pursuant to
Section 2.01(b) . Each Seller agrees to cooperate with
such reconstruction, including by delivery to Buyer, upon
Buyer’s request, of copies of all Records.
Section 2.02. Grant of
Security Interest . The parties hereto intend that each Sale of
Transferred Receivables made hereunder shall constitute a
“sale of accounts” or “payment
intangibles”, which sale is absolute and irrevocable and
provides Buyer with the full benefits of ownership of the
Receivables subject thereto, and shall not constitute a loan.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in addition to and not in derogation
of any rights now or hereafter acquired by Buyer under
Section 2.01 hereof, the parties hereto intend that
this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under
applicable law and if a court of competent jurisdiction determines
that any transaction provided for herein constitutes a loan and not
a sale, that each Seller shall be deemed to have granted, and each
Seller does hereby grant, to Buyer a continuing security interest
in all of such Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and
under all Receivables whether now owned or hereafter acquired by
such Seller, the Collection Accounts, the Lockboxes and all funds
on deposit therein to secure the obligations of such Seller to
Buyer hereunder (including, if and to the extent that any Sale is
recharacterized as a transfer for security under applicable law,
the repayment of a loan deemed to have been made by Buyer to the
applicable Seller in the amount of the Purchase Price with respect
thereto, including interest thereon at the Index Rate).
Section 2.03. Sellers Remain
Liable . It is expressly agreed by the Sellers that, anything
herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Seller shall remain
liable to the Obligor (and any other party to the related Contract)
under any and all of the Receivables originated by it and under the
Contracts therefor to observe and perform all the conditions and
obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder. Buyer
shall not have any obligation or liability to the Obligor or any
other party to the related Contract under any such Receivables or
Contracts by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the
granting
Receivables Sale
Agreement
3
herein of a Lien thereon or the receipt by Buyer
of any payment relating thereto pursuant hereto. The exercise by
Buyer of any of its rights under this Agreement shall not release
any Seller from any of its respective duties or obligations under
any such Receivables or Contracts. Buyer shall not be required or
obligated in any manner to perform or fulfill any of the
obligations of any Seller under or pursuant to any such Receivable
or Contract, or to make any payment, or to make any inquiry as to
the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or the
sufficiency of any performance by any party under any such
Receivable or Contract, or to present or file any claims, or to
take any action to collect or enforce any performance or the
payment of any amounts that may have been assigned to it or to
which it may be entitled at any time or times.
Section 2.04. Purchase Price
Credits . If on any day the Outstanding Balance of a Receivable
is reduced or canceled as a result of any Dilution Factor, then, in
such event, the Buyer shall be entitled to a credit (each, a
“ Purchase Price Credit ”) against the Purchase
Price otherwise payable hereunder in an amount equal to such
reduction or cancellation. If the Commitment Termination Date has
occurred or the aggregate Purchase Price Credits in respect of any
Seller exceeds the Purchase Price in respect of the Receivables of
such Seller payable on any Transfer Date, then such Seller agrees
to pay the amount of such excess to Buyer in cash promptly (and in
any event within one (1) Business Day) thereafter;
provided that if the Commitment Termination Date has not
occurred, such Seller may also set-off the amount of such excess
against any indebtedness owed to it under a Subordinated Note to
the extent permitted thereunder.
Section 2.05. Limitation on
Subordinated Loans . Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, no Seller shall make any Subordinated Loan
pursuant to Section 2.01(c)(ii)(C) if (i) the
aggregate principal amount of all Subordinated Loans outstanding on
such Transfer Date would exceed 25% of the aggregate Outstanding
Balance of the Transferred Receivables on such Transfer Date or
(ii) the Net Worth of Buyer on such Transfer Date is less than
$74,000,000.
Section 2.06. No
Repurchase . Except to the extent expressly set forth herein,
no Seller shall have any right or obligation under this Agreement
or any other Transaction Document, by implication or otherwise, to
repurchase from Buyer any Receivables or to rescind or otherwise
retroactively affect by Sale of Receivables after it is sold to
Buyer hereunder.
Section 2.07. Payments and
Computations .
(a) All amounts to be paid or
deposited by Buyer hereunder shall be paid or deposited in
accordance with the terms hereof on the day when due in immediately
available funds to the account of the Seller Agent designated from
time to time by the Seller Agent or as otherwise directed by the
Seller Agent; provided that to the extent Collections during any
Settlement Period that are available to fund the Purchase Price of
Receivables sold during such period are less than the full amount
of such Purchase Price, the unpaid portion thereof shall be paid or
provided for on the related Settlement Date in accordance with this
Section 2.07(c) . In the event that any payment owed by
any Person hereunder becomes due on a day that is not a Business
Day, then such Payment shall be made on the next succeeding
Business Day.
(b) Each Seller hereby agrees that
the Seller Agent is authorized to receive amounts due from Buyer to
such Seller hereunder. All amounts so received shall be applied in
the following order of payment during each Settlement
Period:
(i) first, to pay any amounts
payable pursuant to Section 2.01(c)(ii)(B) ;
and
Receivables Sale
Agreement
4
(ii) second, to make payments of
interest on, and then principal of the Subordinated Note in
accordance with Section 2.08 .
(c) On each Settlement
Date:
(i) the Seller Agent shall determine
the aggregate Purchase Price (the “ Aggregate Purchase
Price ”) for all Receivables conveyed by the Sellers to
Buyer during the preceding Settlement Period or, in the case of the
Facility Maturity Date, during the period from the end of the most
recent Settlement Period to the Facility Maturity Date (each such
period, an “ Adjusted Settlement Period ”);
provided that the final Adjusted Settlement Period shall
commence on the day following the most recently ended Adjusted
Settlement Period and shall end on the Facility Maturity
Date;
(ii) if on any Settlement Period the
Aggregate Purchase Price for the related Adjusted Settlement Period
minus the aggregate amount of Purchase Price Credits for such
Adjusted Settlement Period (such difference, the “
Modified Aggregate Purchase Price ”) exceeds the
amount of cash payments received by the Seller Agent from Buyer for
such Adjusted Monthly Period (such amount, the “ Cash
Payments ”), the Seller Agent shall, subject to the terms
of this Agreement and to the extent it has not already done so,
record such excess as an increase in the principal amount
outstanding under the Subordinated Note (subject to the limitation
set forth in Section 2.05 );
(iii) if on any Settlement Date, the
Cash Payments for the related Adjusted Settlement Period exceed the
Modified Aggregate Purchase Price for such Adjusted Settlement
Period, the Seller Agent shall, subject to the terms of this
Agreement, record the application of that excess (x) first, to
the payment of any unpaid and accrued interest on the Subordinated
Note, (y) second, as a reduction in the principal amount of
the Subordinated Note, and (z) third, cause the Sellers to pay
any remaining excess to the Buyer.
Section 2.08. Subordinated
Note .
(a) On the date of the initial Sale,
Buyer shall issue to the Seller Agent, for the account of the
Sellers as their respective interests may appear, the Subordinated
Note. The aggregate principal amount of the Subordinated Note at
any time shall be equal to the difference between (i) the
aggregate principal amount on the issuance thereof and each
addition to the principal amount of the Subordinated Note with
respect to each Seller pursuant to the terms of
Section 2.01(c)(ii)(C) and Section 2.07 as
of such time, minus, (ii) the aggregate amount of all payment
made in respect of the principal of the Subordinated Note as of
such time. All payments made in respect of the Subordinated Note
shall be allocated, first to pay accrued and unpaid interest
thereon, second, to pay the outstanding principal amount thereof.
Interest on the outstanding principal amount of the Subordinated
Note shall accrue at a rate per annum as set forth in the
Subordinated Note, to be paid (x) on each Settlement Date with
respect to the principal amount of the Subordinated Note
outstanding from time to time during the Adjusted Settlement Period
immediately preceding such Settlement Date (but only to the extent
that Buyer has funds available to make such payment) and
(y) on the maturity date thereof. Upon receipt of any such
payment, the Seller Agent shall distribute such payment to the
Sellers ratably based on their respective interests in the
Subordinated Note as described in Section 2.08(b) .
Principal of the Subordinated Note not paid or prepaid pursuant to
the terms hereof shall be payable on the maturity date thereof.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, any payments to be made by Buyer in respect of the
Subordinated Note shall be made solely from funds available to
Buyer that are not otherwise required to be applied or set-aside
for the payment of any obligations of Buyer under the Credit
Agreement, shall be non-recourse other than with respect to such
funds and shall not constitute a claim against Buyer to the extent
that insufficient funds exist to make such payment.
Receivables Sale
Agreement

(b) Each addition to the principal
amount of the Subordinated Note on any Transfer Date pursuant to
Section 2.01(c) (including on the date of the initial
Sale hereunder) shall be allocated among the Sellers by the Seller
Agent ratably in proportion to the Purchase Price owing to each on
such Transfer Date.
Section 2.09. Additional

Seller on the date hereof to become a party to this Agreement in
the capacity as a Seller, a Joinder Agreement for such Subsidiary
in the form of Exhibit 1 hereto must have been executed by
