RECEIVABLES SALE
AGREEMENT
THIS RECEIVABLES SALE AGREEMENT,
dated as of June 30, 2009, is by and among Convergys
Corporation, an Ohio corporation (the
“Originator” ), and Convergys Funding
Inc., a Kentucky corporation ( “Buyer” ).
Unless defined elsewhere herein, capitalized terms used in this
Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in
Exhibit I hereto (or, if not defined in Exhibit I
hereto, the meanings assigned to such terms in Exhibit
I to the Purchase Agreement hereinafter
defined).
PRELIMINARY
STATEMENTS
The Originator now owns, and from
time to time hereafter will own, Receivables. The Originator wishes
to sell and assign to Buyer, and Buyer wishes to purchase from the
Originator, all of the Originator’s right, title and interest
in and to its Receivables, together with the Related Security and
Collections with respect thereto.
Each of the Originator and Buyer
intends the transactions contemplated hereby to be true sales of
the Receivables from the Originator to Buyer, providing Buyer with
the full benefits of ownership of the Receivables originated by the
Originator, and none of the Originator or Buyer intends these
transactions to be, or for any purpose to be characterized as,
loans from Buyer to the Originator.
Following the purchase of
Receivables from the Originator, Buyer will sell undivided
interests in the Receivables and in the associated Related Security
and Collections pursuant to that certain Receivables Purchase
Agreement dated as of June 30, 2009 (as the same may from time
to time hereafter be amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise
modified, the “Purchase Agreement” )
among Buyer, Convergys Corporation, an Ohio corporation (
“Convergys” ), as initial Servicer,
Liberty Street Funding LLC, a Delaware limited liability company,
(“ Liberty Street ” or the “
Conduit ”), The Bank of Nova Scotia, a Canadian
chartered bank acting through its New York Agency (
“Scotiabank” ), and its assigns
thereunder (collectively, the “ Scotiabank Committed
Purchasers ” and, together with Liberty Street, the
“ Scotiabank Group ”), Wachovia Bank,
National Association ( “Wachovia” and
each of the Conduit, the Scotiabank Committed Purchasers and
Wachovia, a “Purchaser” and,
collectively, the “Purchasers” ),
Scotiabank, in its capacity as agent for the Scotiabank Group (the
“ Scotiabank Group Agent ”) and Wachovia,
in its capacity as administrative agent for Scotiabank Group,
Wachovia and the Scotiabank Group Agent (in such capacity, together
with its successors and assigns, the “Administrative
Agent” ).
NOW, THEREFORE,
in consideration of the premises and
the mutual covenants herein contained, and for other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as
follows:
2
ARTICLE I.
AMOUNTS AND TERMS
Section 1.1 [ Reserved
]
Section 1.2 Sales of
Receivables .
(a) In consideration for payment of
the Purchase Price in accordance with Section 1.3 and
upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein,
effective on the Effective Date, the Originator hereby sells,
assigns, transfers, sets-over and otherwise conveys to Buyer,
without recourse (except to the extent expressly provided herein),
and Buyer hereby agrees to purchase from the Originator, all of the
Originator’s right, title and interest in and to all of the
Originator’s Receivables existing on the Initial Cutoff Date
and all Receivables originated by the Originator on each day after
the Initial Cutoff Date through and including the Termination Date,
together, in each case, with all Related Security relating thereto
and all Collections thereof. In connection with the payment of the
Purchase Price for any Receivables purchased hereunder, Buyer may
request that the Originator deliver, and the Originator shall
deliver, such approvals, opinions, information, reports or
documents as Buyer may reasonably request.
(b) It is the intention of the
parties hereto that each Transfer of Receivables made hereunder
shall constitute a “sale of accounts” (as such term is
used in Article 9 of the UCC) or other outright conveyance, which
Transfer is absolute and irrevocable and provides Buyer with the
full benefits of ownership of the Receivables. Except for the
Purchase Price Credits owed pursuant to Section 1.4 ,
the Transfers of Receivables hereunder are made without recourse to
the Originator; provided, however, that (i) the
Originator shall be liable to Buyer for all representations,
warranties, covenants and indemnities made by the Originator
pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Documents to which the
Originator is a party, and (ii) such Transfers do not
constitute and are not intended to result in an assumption by Buyer
or any assignee thereof of any obligation of the Originator or any
other Person arising in connection with the Receivables, the
related Contracts and/or other Related Security or any other
obligations of the Originator. In view of the intention of the
parties hereto that each Transfer of Receivables made hereunder
shall constitute a sale or other outright conveyance of such
Receivables rather than a loan secured thereby, the Originator
agrees that it will, on or prior to the Effective Date and in
accordance with Section 4.1(e)(ii) , mark its master
data processing records relating to the Receivables with a legend
acceptable to Buyer and to the Administrative Agent (as
Buyer’s collateral assignee), evidencing that Buyer has
purchased such Receivables as provided in this Agreement and agrees
to note in its financial statements that its Receivables have been
sold to Buyer. Upon the request of Buyer or the Administrative
Agent (as Buyer’s collateral assignee), the Originator will
execute and file such financing or continuation statements, or
amendments thereto or assignments thereof, and such other
instruments or notices, as may be necessary or appropriate to
perfect and maintain the perfection of Buyer’s ownership
interest in the Receivables originated by the
3
Originator and the Related Security
and Collections with respect thereto, or as Buyer or the
Administrative Agent (as Buyer’s collateral assignee) may
reasonably request.
Section 1.3 Payment for the
Purchases .
(a) The Purchase Price for each
Receivable purchased on the Effective Date shall be due and owing
in full by Buyer to the Originator or its designee on the Effective
Date, and thereafter the Purchase Price for each Receivable shall
be due and owing in full by Buyer to the Originator or its designee
on the date each such Receivable comes into existence (except that
Buyer may, with respect to any such Purchase Price, offset against
such Purchase Price any amounts owed by the Originator to Buyer
hereunder and which have become due but remain unpaid) and shall be
paid to the Originator in the manner provided in the following
paragraphs (b), (c) and (d).
(b) With respect to any Receivables
coming into existence after the Initial Cutoff Date, on each
Settlement Date, Buyer shall pay the Purchase Price therefor to the
Originator in accordance with Section 1.3(d) and in the
following manner:
first
, by delivery of immediately
available funds, to the extent of funds available to Buyer from its
subsequent sale of an interest in the Receivables to the
Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers under the
Purchase Agreement, or other cash on hand; and/or
second
, by delivery of the proceeds of a
subordinated loan from the Originator to Buyer (a “
Subordinated Loan ”) in an amount not to exceed
the lesser of (A) the remaining unpaid portion of such
Purchase Price, and (B) the maximum Subordinated Loan that
could be borrowed without rendering Buyer’s Net Worth less
than the Required Capital Amount. The Originator is hereby
authorized by Buyer to endorse on the schedule attached to its
Subordinated Note an appropriate notation evidencing the date and
amount of each advance thereunder, as well as the date of each
payment with respect thereto, provided that the failure to make
such notation shall not affect any obligation of Buyer
thereunder.
Subject to the limitations set forth
in clause second above, the Originator irrevocably
agrees to advance each Subordinated Loan requested by Buyer on or
prior to the Termination Date. The Subordinated Loans shall be
evidenced by, and shall be payable in accordance with the terms and
provisions of the Originator’s Subordinated Note and shall be
payable solely from funds which Buyer is not required under the
Purchase Agreement to set aside for the benefit of, or otherwise
pay over to, the Administrative Agent or the Purchasers.
(c) From and after the Termination
Date, the Originator shall not be obligated to (but may, at its
option) sell its Receivables to Buyer, unless the Originator
reasonably determines that the Purchase Price therefor will be
satisfied with funds available to Buyer from sales of interests in
the Receivables pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Collections,
proceeds of Subordinated Loans, other cash on hand or
otherwise.
4
(d) Although the Purchase Price for
each Receivable existing on the Initial Cutoff Date and all
Receivables originated by the Originator on each day after the
Initial Cutoff Date through and including the Effective Date shall
be due and payable in full by Buyer to the Originator on the
Effective Date and thereafter the Purchase Price for each
Receivable shall be due and payable in full by Buyer to the
Originator on the date such Receivable comes into existence,
settlement of the Purchase Price between Buyer and the Originator
shall be effected on a monthly basis on Settlement Dates with
respect to all Receivables coming into existence during the same
Calculation Period and based on the information contained in the
Receivables Report delivered by the Servicer pursuant to Article
VIII of the Purchase Agreement for the Calculation Period then most
recently ended. Although settlement shall be effected on Settlement
Dates, increases or decreases in the amount owing under the
applicable Subordinated Note made pursuant to
Section 1.3(b) shall be deemed to have occurred and
shall be effective as of the last Business Day of the Calculation
Period to which such settlement relates.
Section 1.4 Purchase Price
Credit Adjustments . If on any day, the Originator is deemed to
have received a Deemed Collection with respect to any Receivable
sold by it to Buyer hereunder, then, in such event, Buyer shall be
entitled to a credit (each, a “Purchase Price
Credit” ) against the Purchase Price otherwise
payable to the Originator hereunder in an amount equal to such
Deemed Collection. If such Purchase Price Credit exceeds the
original Outstanding Balance of the Receivables originated by the
Originator on such day, then the Originator shall pay the remaining
amount of such Purchase Price Credit in cash within 10 Business
Days thereafter; provided that if the Termination
Date has not occurred, the Originator shall be allowed to deduct
the remaining amount of such Purchase Price Credit from any
indebtedness owed to it under its Subordinated Note to the extent
permitted thereunder.
Section 1.5 Payments and
Computations, Etc. 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 Originator designated from time to time by the
Originator or as otherwise directed by the Originator. 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. If any Person fails to pay any amount
hereunder when due, such Person agrees to pay, on demand, interest
thereon at the Default Rate in respect thereof until paid in full;
provided , however , that such Default
Rate shall not at any time exceed the maximum rate permitted by
applicable law. All computations of interest payable hereunder
shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual
number of days (including the first but excluding the last day)
elapsed.
Section 1.6 Transfer of
Records .
(a) In connection with each Transfer
of a Receivable by the Originator hereunder, the Originator hereby
sells, transfers, assigns and otherwise conveys to Buyer all of the
Originator’s right and title to and interest in the Records
(other than the Specified Contracts) relating to such Receivable
and, to the extent provided by Section 9-
5
404, 9-405, 9-406 or 9-408 of the
UCC, the Specified Contracts relating to such Receivable, in each
case without the need for any further documentation in connection
with such Transfer. In connection with each such Transfer, the
Originator hereby grants to each of Buyer, the Administrative Agent
and the Servicer an irrevocable, non-exclusive license to use,
without royalty or payment of any kind, all software used by the
Originator to account for the Receivables originated or serviced by
the Originator, to the extent necessary to administer such
Receivables, whether such software is owned by the Originator or is
owned by others and used by the Originator under license agreements
with respect thereto, provided that should the consent of any
licensor of such software be required for the grant of the license
described herein, to be effective, the Originator hereby agrees
that upon the request of Buyer (or the Administrative Agent, as
Buyer’s collateral assignee), the Originator will use its
reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of such third-party
licensor. The license granted hereby shall be irrevocable until the
indefeasible payment in full of the Aggregate Unpaids, and shall
terminate on the date this Agreement terminates in accordance with
its terms.
(b) The Originator (i) shall
take such action requested by Buyer and/or the Administrative Agent
(as Buyer’s collateral assignee), from time to time
hereafter, that may be necessary or appropriate to ensure that
Buyer has an enforceable ownership interest in the Records (other
than the Specified Contracts) relating to the Receivables purchased
from the Originator hereunder and to the extent provided by
Section 9-404, 9-405, 9-406 or 9-408 of the UCC, the Specified
Contracts relating to the Receivables purchased from the Originator
hereunder, and (ii) shall use its reasonable efforts to ensure
that Buyer, the Administrative Agent and the Servicer each has an
enforceable right (whether by license or sublicense or otherwise)
to use all of the computer software used to account for such
Receivables and/or to recreate such Records.
Section 1.7
Characterization .
(a) If, notwithstanding the
intention of the parties expressed in Section 1.2(b) ,
any sale by the Originator to Buyer of Receivables hereunder shall
be characterized as a secured loan and not a sale, or such sale
shall for any reason be ineffective or unenforceable, then this
Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a security agreement under
the UCC and other applicable law. For this purpose and without
being in derogation of the parties’ intention that each sale
of Receivables hereunder shall constitute a true sale thereof, the
Originator hereby grants to Buyer a valid and perfected security
interest in all of the Originator’s right, title and interest
in, to and under all Receivables now existing and hereafter
arising, and in all Collections and Related Security with respect
thereto (including, without limitation, each Lock-Box and
Collection Account), all other rights and payments relating to the
Receivables and all proceeds of the foregoing to secure the prompt
and complete payment of a loan deemed to have been made in an
amount equal to the Purchase Price of the Receivables originated by
the Originator together with all other obligations of the
Originator hereunder, which security interest shall be prior to all
other Adverse Claims thereto. Buyer shall have, in
6
addition to the rights and remedies
which they may have under this Agreement, all other rights and
remedies provided to a secured creditor under the UCC and other
applicable law, which rights and remedies shall be cumulative. The
Originator hereby authorizes Buyer (or the Administrative Agent, as
Buyer’s collateral assignee), within the meaning of
Section 9-509 of any applicable enactment of the UCC, as
secured party, to file, without the signature of the debtor, the
UCC financing statements contemplated hereby.
(b) The Originator acknowledges that
Buyer, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, shall collaterally
assign to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the
Administrative Agent and the Purchasers thereunder, all of its
rights, remedies, powers and privileges under this Agreement and
that the Administrative Agent may further assign such rights,
remedies, powers and privileges to the extent permitted in the
Purchase Agreement. The Originator agrees that the Administrative
Agent, as the collateral assignee of Buyer, shall, following the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Amortization Event,
have the right to enforce this Agreement and to exercise directly
all of Buyer’s rights and remedies under this Agreement
(including, without limitation, the right to give or withhold any
consents or approvals of Buyer to be given or withheld hereunder,
and, in any case, without regard to whether specific reference is
made to Buyer’s assigns or collateral assignees in the
provisions of this Agreement which set forth such rights and
remedies) and the Originator agrees to cooperate fully with the
Administrative Agent, the Scotiabank Group Agent and the Purchasers
in the exercise of such rights and remedies. The Originator further
agrees to give to the Administrative Agent copies of all notices it
is required to give to Buyer hereunder.
ARTICLE II.
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
Section 2.1 Representations
and Warranties of Originator . The Originator hereby represents
and warrants to Buyer, as to the Originator and the Receivables
originated by it, that, as of the date of each Purchase:
(a) Corporate Existence and
Power . The Originator is a corporation duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the state mentioned
after its name in the preamble to this Agreement, and is duly
qualified to do business and is in good standing as a foreign
corporation, and has and holds all corporate power and all
governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals
required to carry on its business in each jurisdiction in which its
business is conducted except where the failure to so qualify or so
hold could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.
(b) Power and Authority; Due
Authorization, Execution and Delivery . The execution and
delivery by the Originator of this Agreement and each other
Transaction Document to which it is a party, and the performance of
its obligations hereunder and thereunder and the Originator’s
use of the proceeds of each Purchase made from it hereunder, are
within its corporate powers and authority and have been duly
authorized by all necessary corporate action
7
on its part. This Agreement and each other
Transaction Document to which the Originator is a party has been
duly executed and delivered by the Originator.
(c) No Conflict; No Bulk Sale
. The execution and delivery by the Originator of this Agreement
and each other Transaction Document to which it is a party, and the
performance of its obligations hereunder and thereunder do not
contravene or violate (i) its certificate or articles of
incorporation or by-laws or any shareholder agreements, voting
trusts, and similar arrangements applicable to any of its
authorized shares, (ii) any law, rule or regulation applicable
to it, (iii) any restrictions under any agreement, contract or
instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of its
property is bound (other than any breach of confidentiality of any
Contract which results solely from disclosure of the existence of
such Contract in an Invoice or Related Security relating to such
Contract and which does not impair, restrict or any way affect the
obligation of the applicable Obligor thereunder, including, without
limitation, obligation to pay a specified sum of money thereunder),
or (iv) any order, writ, judgment, award, injunction or decree
binding on or affecting it or its property, and do not result in
the creation or imposition of any Adverse Claim on assets of the
Originator or its Subsidiaries (except as created hereunder)
except, in any case, where such contravention or violation could
not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No
transaction contemplated hereby with respect to the Originator
requires compliance with any bulk sales act or similar
law.
(d) Governmental
Authorization . Other than the filing of the financing
statements required hereunder, no authorization or approval or
other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental
authority or regulatory body is required for the due execution and
delivery by the Originator of this Agreement and each other
Transaction Document to which it is a party and the performance of
its obligations hereunder and thereunder.
(e) Actions, Suits . There
are no actions, suits or proceedings pending, or to the best of the
Originator’s knowledge, threatened, against or affecting the
Originator, or any of its properties, in or before any court,
arbitrator or other body, that could reasonably be expected to have
a Material Adverse Effect. The Originator is not in default with
respect to any order of any court, arbitrator or governmental
body.
(f) Binding Effect . This
Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which the
Originator is a party constitute the legal, valid and binding
obligations of the Originator enforceable against the Originator in
accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforcement
may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization
or other similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’
rights generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of
whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at
law).
(g) Accuracy of Information .
All information, other than Projections, heretofore furnished by a
Responsible Officer of the Originator to Buyer (or to the
Administrative Agent, as Buyer’s collateral assignee) for
purposes of or in connection with this Agreement, any of the other
Transaction Documents or any transaction contemplated hereby or
thereby is, and all such information hereafter furnished by a
Responsible Officer of the
8
Originator to Buyer (or to the Administrative
Agent, as Buyer’s collateral assignee) will be, true and
accurate in every material respect on the date such information is
stated or certified and does not and will not contain any material
misstatement of fact or omit to state a material fact or any fact
necessary to make the statements contained therein not
misleading.
(h) Use of Proceeds . No
proceeds of any Purchase from the Originator hereunder will be used
(i) for a purpose that violates, or would be inconsistent
with, any law, rule or regulation applicable to the Originator or
(ii) to acquire any security in any transaction which is
subject to Section 12, 13 or 14 of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended.
(i) Good Title . Immediately
prior to each Purchase from the Originator hereunder, the
Originator (i) is the legal and beneficial owner of the
Receivables which are to be the subject of such Purchase and
(ii) is the legal and beneficial owner of the Related Security
with respect thereto or possesses a valid and perfected security
interest therein, in each case, free and clear of any Adverse
Claim, except as created by the Transaction Documents.
(j) Perfection . This
Agreement, together with the filing of the financing statements
contemplated hereby, is effective to transfer to Buyer (and Buyer
shall acquire from the Originator) (i) legal and equitable
title to, with the right to sell and encumber each Receivable,
whether now existing or hereafter arising, together with the
Collections with respect thereto, and (ii) all of the
Originator’s right, title and interest in the Related
Security associated with each such Receivable, in each case, free
and clear of any Adverse Claim, except as created by the
Transaction Documents. There have been duly filed (or delivered to
the Administrative Agent (as Buyer’s collateral assignee) in
form suitable for filing) all financing statements or other similar
instruments or documents necessary under the UCC (or any comparable
law) of all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect Buyer’s
ownership interest in the Receivables originated by the Originator,
the Related Security and the Collections.
(k) Places of Business and
Locations of Records . The state of organization and chief
executive office of the Originator and the offices where it keeps
all of its Records are located at the address(es) listed on Exhibit

addresses of all Collection Banks, together with the account

Person, other than Buyer (and, to the extent contemplated by the
Purchase Agreement, the Servicer and the Administrative Agent, as
Buyer’s collateral assignee) dominion and control of any
Lock-Box or Collection Account, or the right to take dominion and
control of any such Lock-Box or Collection Account at a future time
or upon the occurrence of a future event.
9
(m) Material Adverse Effect .
Since December 31, 2008, no event has occurred that would have
a Material Adverse Effect.
(n) Names . In the past five
(5) years, the Originator has not used any corporate names,
trade names or assumed names other than the name in which it has
executed this Agreement and as listed on Exhibit II.
(o) Ownership of Originator .
Convergys owns, directly or indirectly, 100% of the issued and
outstanding shares of capital stock of the Originator, free and
clear of any Adverse Claim. Such capital stock is validly issued,
fully paid and nonassessable, and there are no options, warrants or
other rights to acquire securities of the Originator or similar
rights or agreements pursuant to which such Originator may be
required to issue, sell, repurchase or redeem any of its capital
stock.
(p) Not an Investment Company
. The Originator is not an “ investment company
” within the meaning of the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended, or any successor statute.
(q) Compliance with Law . The
Originator has complied in all respects with all applicable laws,
rules, regulations, orders, writs, judgments, injunctions, decrees
or awards to which it may be subject, except where the failure to
so comply could not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect. Each Receivable, together with the Contract related
thereto, does not contravene any laws, rules or regulations
applicable thereto (including, without limitation, laws, rules and
regulations relating to truth in lending, fair credit billing, fair
credit reporting, equal credit opportunity, fair debt collection
practices and privacy), and no part of such Contract is in

the Receivable created thereunder and any accrued interest thereon,
enforceable against the Obligor in accordance with its terms,
except as such enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization or other
