RECITALS
A.
The Seller, the Master Servicer, Executive Relo as Subservicer, the
Purchasers and the Agent are party to that certain Amended and
Restated Receivables Sale Agreement dated as of December 23, 2004
(as heretofore amended or otherwise modified, the " Original
Receivables Sale Agreement "), pursuant to which the Seller has
transferred to the Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers
undivided ownership interests in the Receivables, all related
Collections and all proceeds of the foregoing.
B.
The Seller, the Master Servicer, the Subservicers, the Agent and
the Purchasers wish to amend and restate the Original Receivables
Sale Agreement in the form of this Agreement in order to, among
other things, (1) provide for an additional class of Investments by
certain of the Purchasers in an aggregate principal amount
outstanding not to exceed $25,000,000 and (2) reflect the addition
of SIRVA Global as an Originator and Subservicer.
The parties hereto agree that effective as of the Second
Restatement Date the Original Receivables Sale Agreement is amended
and restated to read in its entirety in the form of this
Agreement.
ARTICLE I
PURCHASES FROM SELLER AND SETTLEMENTS
Section
1.1.
Sales .
(a)
The Class A Sold Interest. Subject to the terms and
conditions hereof, the Seller may, from time to time before the
Termination Date, request that the Class A Purchasers make
purchases of undivided ownership interests in the Receivables, all
related Collections and all proceeds of the foregoing. Upon
any such request, subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, each Class A Purchaser shall purchase such
interest. Such interest shall be transferred to the Agent, as
representative of the Class A Purchasers. Any such purchase
(a "Class A Purchase" ) shall be made by each Class A
Purchaser remitting funds to the Agent, pursuant to
Section 1.1(c). The ownership interest so acquired by a
Class A Purchaser in the Receivables and the related Collections
and proceeds is herein called its "Class A Purchase
Interest" and entitles such Class A
Purchaser to receive payments from the Receivables and the related
Collections and proceeds in respect of Class A Investments,
Discount and other amounts payable in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement, including, without limitation, in accordance with
the applicable priorities set forth in Section 1.8 . All
of the Class A Purchasers’ Class A Purchase Interests at any
time are referred to herein as the "Class A Sold Interest" ,
which at any time is the aggregate ownership interest then held by
the Class A Purchasers in the Receivables and the related
Collections and proceeds.
The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, immediately prior
to the effectiveness of this Agreement, the Class A Purchasers held
Class A Purchase Interests with an Aggregate Class A Investment of
$164,498,115.70 under the Original Receivables Sale Agreement (the
" Original Interest "). The Original Interest shall
remain outstanding as hereunder, and nothing in this Agreement
shall be deemed to release any ownership or security interest in
favor of the Agent or the Purchasers in respect thereof. All
amounts accrued and unpaid under the Original Receivables Sale
Agreement shall continue to be outstanding and payable under
this Agreement.
(b)
Class A Purchaser Commitments . Each Class A Purchaser
severally hereby agrees, subject to Section 7.2 and the other
terms and conditions hereof, to make Class A Purchases before the
Termination Date, based on the applicable Class A Purchaser’s
Class A Commitment Percentage of each Class A Purchase, to the
extent that after giving effect thereto, (i) its Class A Investment
would not exceed its Class A Commitment, (ii) the Aggregate Class A
Investment would not exceed the Class A Purchase Limit, (iii) the
Aggregate Class A Investment would not exceed the Aggregate Class A
Commitment, and (iv) (x) the Aggregate Class A Investment would not
exceed (y) the Adjusted Class A Net Receivables Balance. The
first Class A Purchase and each additional Class A Purchase is
referred to herein as an "Incremental Class A Purchase."
All Class A Purchases hereunder shall be made ratably by
each Class A Purchaser in accordance with the Class A Commitment of
such Class A Purchaser.
(c)
Class A Incremental Purchases . In order to request an
Incremental Class A Purchase from a Class A Purchaser, the Seller
must provide to the Agent an irrevocable written request (including
by telecopier or other facsimile communication) substantially in
the form of Exhibit A-1 (an "Incremental Purchase
Request" ), by 12:00 noon (Chicago time) on the requested
date (the "Class A Purchase Date" ) of such Class A
Purchase, specifying the requested Class A Purchase Date (which
must be a Business Day) and the requested amount (the "Class A
Purchase Amount" ) of such Class A Purchase, which must be in a
minimum amount of $100,000 and multiples thereof (or, if less, an
amount equal to the Maximum Incremental Class A Purchase
Amount). All Incremental Class A Purchases must be requested
ratably from all Class A Purchasers. The Agent shall promptly
notify the Purchasers of the contents of such request.
Subject to Section 7.2 and the other terms and conditions
hereof, each Class A Purchaser shall transfer the applicable Class
A Purchaser’s Class A Commitment Percentage of the requested
Class A Purchase Amount to the Agent by no later than 2:00 p.m.
(Chicago time) on the Class A Purchase Date. The Agent shall
promptly transfer to the Seller Account the proceeds of any
Incremental Class A Purchase delivered to the Agent.
(d)
The Class B Sold Interest. Subject to the terms and
conditions hereof, the Seller may, from time to time before the
Termination Date, request that the Class B Purchasers make
purchases of undivided ownership interests in the Receivables, all
related Collections and all
2
proceeds of the foregoing. Upon any such
request, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
each Class B Purchaser shall purchase such interest. Such
interests shall be transferred to the Agent, as representative of
the Class B Purchasers. Any such purchase (a "Class B
Purchase" ) shall be made by each Class B Purchaser remitting
funds to the Agent, pursuant to Section 1.1(f). The
ownership interest so acquired by a Class B Purchaser in the
Receivables and the related Collections and proceeds is herein
called its "Class B Purchase Interest" and entitles such
Class B Purchaser to receive payments from the Receivables and the
related Collections and proceeds in respect of Class B Investments,
Discount and other amounts payable in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement, including, without limitation, in accordance with
the applicable priorities set forth in Section 1.8.
All of the Class B Purchasers’ Class B Purchase Interests at
any time are referred to herein as the "Class B Sold
Interest" , which at any time is the aggregate ownership
interest then held by the Class B Purchasers in the Receivables and
the related Collections and proceeds.
(e)
Class B Purchaser Commitments . If no Class A
Incremental Purchase is then available, each Class B Purchaser
severally hereby agrees, subject to Section 7.3 and the other
terms and conditions hereof, to make Class B Purchases before the
Termination Date, based on the applicable Class B Purchaser’s
Class B Commitment Percentage of each Class B Purchase, to the
extent that after giving effect thereto, (i) its Class B Investment
would not exceed its Class B Commitment, (ii) the Aggregate Class B
Investment would not exceed the Class B Purchase Limit, (iii) the
Aggregate Class B Investment would not exceed the Aggregate Class B
Commitment, and (iv) (x) the sum of the Aggregate Class A
Investment plus the Aggregate Class B Investment would not exceed
(y) the Adjusted Class B Net Receivables Balance. The first
Class B Purchase and each additional Class B Purchase is referred
to herein as an "Incremental Class B Purchase." All
Class B Purchases hereunder shall be made ratably by each Class B
Purchaser in accordance with the Class B Commitment of such Class B
Purchaser.
(f)
Class B Incremental Purchases . In order to request an
Incremental Class B Purchase from a Class B Purchaser, the Seller
must provide to the Agent an Incremental Purchase Request, by
12:00 noon (Chicago time) on the requested date (the "Class
B Purchase Date ) of such Class B Purchase, specifying the
requested Class B Purchase Date (which must be a Business Day) and
the requested amount (the "Class B Purchase Amount" ) of
such Class B Purchase, which must be in a minimum amount of
$100,000 and multiples thereof (or, if less, an amount equal to the
Maximum Incremental Class B Purchase Amount). The initial
Class B Purchase Date shall be the Second Restatement Date.
Each subsequent Class B Purchase Date shall be a Weekly Settlement
Date. All Incremental Class B Purchases must be requested
ratably from all Class B Purchasers. The Agent shall promptly
notify the Purchasers of the contents of such request.
Subject to Section 7.3 and the other terms and conditions
hereof, each Class B Purchaser shall transfer the applicable Class
B Purchaser’s Class B Commitment Percentage of the requested
Class B Purchase Amount to the Agent by no later than 2:00 p.m.
(Chicago time) on the Class B Purchase Date. The Agent shall
promptly transfer to the Seller Account the proceeds of any
Incremental Class B Purchase delivered to the Agent.
(g)
Security Interest . It is the intention of the parties
hereto that the Purchases hereunder constitute the sale, transfer
and assignment by the Seller to the Purchasers of undivided
ownership interests in the Receivables, the Collections and all
proceeds of the foregoing (and not merely an extension of credit or
a pledge). Nevertheless, the Seller
3
acknowledges and agrees that none of the Agent,
any Purchaser or their representatives have made any
representations or warranties concerning the tax, accounting or
legal characteristics of the Transaction Documents and that the
Seller has obtained and relied upon such tax, accounting and legal
advice from its own experts concerning the Transaction Documents as
it deems appropriate. If, notwithstanding the intention of
the parties, the transactions contemplated hereby are characterized
as an extension of credit or a pledge, the Seller hereby grants to
the Agent (for the benefit of the Purchasers) a security interest
in all of the Seller’s rights in the Receivables, the
Collections, and all proceeds of the foregoing to secure all of the
Seller’s obligations under the Transaction
Documents.
Section
1.2.
Selection of Discount Rates and Tranche Periods .
(a) All Investment of each Purchaser shall be allocated to
one or more Tranches reflecting the Discount Rates at which such
Investment accrues Discount and the Tranche Periods for which such
Discount Rates apply; provided that no more than ten
Tranches shall be outstanding at any time with respect to the Class
A Investments and no more than five Tranches shall be outstanding
at any time with respect to the Class B Investments. Except
as set forth below, the Agent shall select the Tranche Periods for
all Investments. Not later than (1) concurrently with
any request for an Incremental Purchase from the Purchasers,
(2) 3:00 p.m., Chicago time, one Business Day prior to
the expiration of any Tranche Period applicable to any Investment
of each Purchaser if the requested Tranche Period is a Prime
Tranche and (3) 10:00 a.m., Chicago time, two Business Days prior
to the expiration of any Tranche Period applicable to any
Investment of each Purchaser if the requested Tranche Period is a
Eurodollar Tranche, the Master Servicer on behalf of the Seller may
request the Discount Rate(s) and Tranche Period(s) to be applicable
to such Investment. All Investment of the Purchasers may
accrue Discount at either the Eurodollar Rate or the Prime Rate, in
all cases as established for each Tranche Period applicable to such
Class A Investments or Class B Investments, as the case may
be. Each Tranche shall be in the minimum amount of $1,000,000
and in multiples thereof or, in the case of Discount accruing at
the Prime Rate, in any amount of Investment that otherwise has not
been allocated to another Tranche Period. During the
continuance of a Termination Event, the Agent may reallocate any
outstanding Investment allocated to a Eurodollar Tranche to a Prime
Tranche at the end of its then current Tranche Period. All
Discount accrued during a Tranche Period shall be paid by the
Seller to the Agent (for the benefit of the Purchasers) on the last
day of such Tranche Period.
(a)
If, by the time required in Section 1.2(a), the Seller fails
to select a Tranche Period for any Investment of any Purchaser, the
Agent may, in its sole discretion, select such Tranche
Period. If, by the time required in Section 1.2(a), the
Seller and the Agent do not select a Discount Rate or Tranche
Period for any Investment, such amount of Investment shall
automatically accrue Discount at the Prime Rate for a three
Business Day Tranche Period.
(b)
If any Purchaser determines (i) that maintenance of any
Eurodollar Tranche would violate any applicable law or regulation
or (ii) that deposits of a type and maturity appropriate to
match fund any of such Purchaser’s Eurodollar Tranches are
not available, then the Agent, upon the direction of such
Purchaser, shall suspend the availability of, and terminate any
outstanding, Eurodollar Tranche so affected. All Investment
allocated to any such terminated Eurodollar Tranche shall be
reallocated to a Prime Tranche at the termination of the related
Tranche Period.
4
Section
1.3.
Fees and Other Costs and Expenses . (b) The
Seller shall pay to the Agent such amounts as agreed to with the
Seller in the Fee Letter.
(a)
The Seller shall pay to the Agent for the account of each Class A
Purchaser a commitment fee computed at 0.35% per annum on the
average daily unused portion of such Class A Purchaser’s
Class A Commitment. Such commitment fee shall accrue from the
Restatement Date (under the Original Receivables Sale Agreement) to
the Termination Date and shall be due and payable monthly in
arrears on the Monthly Settlement Date of each month and on the
Termination Date. The commitment fee provided in this Section
1.3(b) shall accrue at all times after the Restatement Date under
the Original Receivables Sale Agreement, including at any time
during which one or more of the conditions in Article VII are not
met.
(b)
The Seller shall pay to the Agent for the account of each Class B
Purchaser a commitment fee computed at 0.50% per annum on the
average daily unused portion of such Class B Purchaser’s
Class B Commitment. Such commitment fee shall accrue from the
Second Restatement Date to the Termination Date and shall be due
and payable monthly in arrears on the Monthly Settlement Date of
each month and on the Termination Date. The commitment fee
provided in this Section 1.3(c) shall accrue at all times after the
Second Restatement Date, including at any time during which one or
more of the conditions in Article VII are not met.
(c)
If the amount of Investment of any Purchaser allocated to any
Eurodollar Tranche is reduced before the last day of its Tranche
Period, or if a requested Incremental Purchase at the Eurodollar
Rate does not take place on its scheduled Purchase Date, the Seller
shall pay the Early Payment Fee to each applicable Purchaser.
(d)
Investment shall be payable solely from Collections and from
amounts payable under Sections 1.4, 1.6 and 6.1 (to the extent
amounts paid under Section 6.1 indemnify against reductions in
or non-payment of Receivables). The Seller shall pay, as a
full recourse obligation, all other amounts payable hereunder and
under the Fee Letter, including all Discount, fees described in
clauses (a), (b), (c) and (d) above and amounts payable under
Article VI.
Section
1.4.
Maintenance of Class A Sold Interest and Class B Sold Interest;
Deemed Collection .
(a)
Class A General . If at any time before the
Termination Date the Adjusted Class A Net Receivables Balance is
less than the Aggregate Class A Investment, the Seller shall
promptly (but not later than one Business Day after the Seller
becomes aware of such condition) pay to the Agent an amount equal
to such deficiency for application to reduce the Class A
Investments of the Class A Purchasers ratably in accordance with
the principal amount of their respective Class A Investments,
applied first to the outstanding Prime Tranches and
second to the outstanding Eurodollar Tranches in the order
in which their respective then current Tranche Periods are
scheduled to end.
(b)
Class B General . If on any Weekly Settlement Date the
Adjusted Class B Net Receivables Balance is less than the sum of
the Aggregate Class A Investment plus the Aggregate Class B
Investment, the Seller shall promptly (but not later than one
Business Day after the Seller becomes aware of such condition) pay
to the Agent an amount equal to such
5
deficiency (to the extent remaining after any
amount payable pursuant to Section 1.4(a) is paid, and only after
any amount payable pursuant to Section 1.4(a) has been paid) for
application to reduce the Class B Investments of the Class B
Purchasers ratably in accordance with the principal amount of their
respective Class B Investments, applied first to the
outstanding Prime Tranches and second to the outstanding
Eurodollar Tranches in the order in which their respective then
current Tranche Periods are scheduled to end.
(c)
Deemed Collections . If on any day the outstanding
balance of a Receivable is reduced or cancelled as a result of any
defective or rejected goods or services, any cash discount or
adjustment (including as a result of the application of any special
refund or other discounts or any reconciliation), any setoff or
credit (whether such claim or credit arises out of the same, a
related, or an unrelated transaction) or other similar reason not
arising from the financial inability of the Obligor to pay
undisputed indebtedness, the Seller and the related Servicer shall
be deemed to have received on such day a Collection on such
Receivable in the amount of such reduction or cancellation.
If (i) any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement of
the Seller related to a Receivable is not true or is not satisfied
as of the date a Purchase Interest was conveyed to the Agent on
behalf of the Purchasers or, (ii) the Seller has not taken the
action required to be taken by it with respect to a Receivable
under Section 5.6, the Seller shall be deemed to have received on
such day a Collection in the outstanding principal amount of such
Receivable. If a Receivable was identified as an Eligible
Receivable in any writing given to the Agent or the Purchasers, but
was not an Eligible Receivable when so identified, the Seller and
the related Servicer shall be deemed to have received on such day a
Collection in the amount of the outstanding balance of such
Receivable. All such Collections deemed received by the
Seller and the related Servicer under this Section 1.4(c)
shall be remitted by them to the Collection Account within one
Business Day after such deemed receipt in accordance with
Sections 5.1(i) and 5.2(h).
(d)
Adjustment to Sold Interests . At any time before the
Termination Date that the Seller is deemed to have received any
Collection under Section 1.4(c) ( "Deemed Collections"
) that derives from a Receivable that is otherwise reported as an
Eligible Receivable, so long as no Liquidation Period then exists
the Seller may satisfy its obligation to deliver such amount to the
related Servicer by instead notifying the Agent that each Sold
Interest should be recalculated by decreasing the Net Receivables
Balance by the amount of such Deemed Collections, so long as such
adjustment does not cause (i) the Adjusted Class A Net Receivables
Balance to be less than the Aggregate Class A Investment or (ii)
the Adjusted Class B Net Receivables Balance to be less than the
sum of the Aggregate Class A Investment plus the Aggregate Class B
Investment.
(e)
Payment Assumption . Unless an Obligor otherwise
specifies (by reference to a particular invoice or otherwise) or
another application is required by contract or law, any payment
received by the Seller from any Obligor shall be applied as a
Collection of Receivables of such Obligor (starting with the oldest
such Receivable) and remitted to the related Servicer as such.
Section
1.5.
Reduction in Commitments .
(a)
The Seller may, upon thirty days’ notice to the Agent, reduce
the Aggregate Class A Commitment in increments of $5,000,000, so
long as the Aggregate Class A Commitment at
6
all times equals or exceeds the outstanding
Aggregate Class A Investment. Each such reduction in the
Aggregate Class A Commitment shall reduce the Class A Commitment of
each Class A Purchaser in accordance with its Class A Commitment
Percentage and shall reduce the Class A Purchase Limit by a
corresponding amount.
(b)
The Seller may, upon thirty days’ notice to the Agent, reduce
the Aggregate Class B Commitment in increments of $5,000,000, so
long as the Aggregate Class B Commitment at all times equals or
exceeds the outstanding Aggregate Class B Investment. Each
such reduction in the Aggregate Class B Commitment shall reduce the
Class B Commitment of each Class B Purchaser in accordance with its
Class B Commitment Percentage and shall reduce the Class B Purchase
Limit by a corresponding amount.
Section
1.6.
Optional Repurchases. At any time that the Aggregate
Investment is less than 10% of the highest Aggregate Investment
outstanding at any time hereunder, the Master Servicer may, upon
thirty days’ notice to the Agent, purchase the Sold Interests
from the Purchasers at a price equal to the outstanding Matured
Aggregate Class A Investment, the outstanding Matured Aggregate
Class B Investment and all other amounts then owed hereunder.
Section
1.7.
Assignment of Purchase Agreement. The Seller hereby
assigns and otherwise transfers to the Agent (for the benefit of
the Agent, each Purchaser and any other Person to whom any amount
is owed hereunder) all of the Seller’s right, title and
interest in, to and under the Purchase Agreement. The Seller
shall file and record all financing statements, continuation
statements and other documents required to perfect or protect such
assignment. This assignment includes (a) all monies due
and to become due to the Seller from the Originators or the Parent
under or in connection with the Purchase Agreement (including fees,
expenses, costs, indemnities and damages for the breach of any
obligation or representation related to either such agreement) and
(b) all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims of the
Seller against the Originators or the Parent under or in connection
with the Purchase Agreement. All provisions of the Purchase
Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and may be relied upon by,
the Agent, each Purchaser and each such other Person. At any
time after a Servicer Replacement Event, the Agent shall have the
sole right to enforce the Seller’s rights and remedies under
the Purchase Agreement to the same extent as the Seller could
absent this assignment, but without any obligation on the part of
the Agent any Purchaser or any other such Person to perform any of
the obligations of the Seller under the Purchase Agreement (or any
of the promissory notes executed thereunder). All amounts
distributed to the Seller under the Purchase Agreement from
Receivables sold to the Seller thereunder shall constitute
Collections hereunder and shall be applied in accordance
herewith.
Section
1.8.
Allocations and Distributions.
(a)
Accounts. The Agent will at all times maintain the
Collection Account and the Investment Account in the name of the
Agent and the Agent shall have exclusive control of, and a valid,
perfected and first priority security interest in, such
accounts. The Servicers have given, or will give, written
directions to each Included Employer and each Origination Home
Closing Agent, no later than February 15, 2005 (or, if later,
the date on which such Person becomes an Included Employer or
otherwise becomes obligated to remit any amounts in respect of the
Receivables), to remit all amounts due in respect of the
Receivables to the Collection Account;
7
provided that if the Seller or a
Servicer shall receive any Collections, it shall remit such
Collections to the Collection Account within three Business Days of
such receipt. No withdrawals, payments or transfers of funds
from the Collection Account or the Investment Account shall be made
except upon the written direction of the Agent in accordance with
this Section. The amounts held in the Collection Account may
be transferred to the Investment Account and invested and
reinvested by the Agent solely in Permitted Investments credited to
the Investment Account selected by the Seller in a written notice
to the Agent (unless a Termination Event exists, in which case such
transfer and investment shall be at the discretion of, and in
Permitted Investments selected by, the Agent). Yield on such
investments shall be deposited in the Investment Account and
allocated in accordance with this Section. To the extent that
the Collection Account and the Investment Account constitute
"Securities Accounts" as defined in Section 8.501(a) of the UCC,
LaSalle will act as Securities Intermediary and will treat the
Agent, for whom the Securities Intermediary maintains the
Collection Account and the Investment Account, as entitled to
exercise the rights that comprise the property, including all
Security Entitlements, Securities, Financial Assets, Investment
Property and Instruments (each as defined in the UCC). In the
event that the Collection Account and the Investment Account are
not considered to be "Securities Accounts" under applicable law,
the Collection Account and the Investment Account shall be deemed
to be "deposit accounts" (as defined in the UCC) to the extent a
security interest can be granted and perfected under the UCC in the
Collection Account and the Investment Account as deposit accounts,
which the Agent shall maintain with LaSalle acting not as a
securities intermediary but as a "bank" (as defined in the
UCC). The Agent, acting on behalf of the Purchasers, shall be
deemed to be the customer of the LaSalle for purposes of the
Collection Account and the Investment Account and as such shall be
entitled to all the rights that customers of banks have under
applicable law with respect to deposit accounts, including the
right to withdraw funds from, or close, the Collection Account and
the Investment Account (which rights shall be exercised in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement). LaSalle shall credit
the Collection Account and the Investment Account with all receipts
of interest, dividends, and other income received on or in respect
of the property held in the each of the respective accounts.
LaSalle agrees that its jurisdiction is the State of Illinois for
all purposes of the UCC.
LaSalle hereby (i) subordinates to the interests of the Agent
and the Purchasers any security interest, lien, or right of
recoupment or setoff that LaSalle may have in its individual
capacity, now or in the future, against the Collection Account and
the Investment Account, and (ii) agrees that it will not exercise
any right in respect of such security interest or lien or any right
of recoupment or setoff until the interests of the Agent and the
Purchasers in the Collection Account and the Investment Account are
terminated, except that LaSalle is permitted to charge the
Collection Account and the Investment Account (i) for its fees and
charges relating to such accounts and services related to such
accounts and the Transaction Documents, and (ii) for any check or
wire transfer deposited into either such account or other credit to
either such account if such check, wire transfer or credit is
subsequently returned unpaid, and (iii) for the ratable benefit of
the Agent and the Purchasers.
(b)
Business Day Payments . On each Business Day other
than a Weekly Settlement Date, unless the Termination Date shall
have occurred, the Available Funds in the Collection Account shall
be transferred by the Agent to the Class A Purchasers to reduce the
Class A Investments ratably to the extent of the Principal
Distribution Amounts.
8
(c)
Weekly Settlement Dates . On each Weekly Settlement
Date, unless the Termination Date shall have occurred, Available
Funds, first from the Collection Account and second
from the Investment Account, shall be applied to the extent
required to make the following payments:
-
-
(i)
first , ratably to the Class A Purchasers an amount, if any,
to reduce the Class A Investments so that the Aggregate Class A
Investment does not exceed the Adjusted Class A Net Receivables
Balance; and
(ii)
second , ratably to the Class B Purchasers an amount, if
any, to reduce the Class B Investments so that the sum of the
Aggregate Class A Investment and the Aggregate Class B Investment
does not exceed the Adjusted Class B Net Receivables Balance.
(d)
Monthly Settlement Dates . On each Monthly Settlement
Date, unless the Termination Date shall have occurred, Available
Funds in the Collection Account and the Investment Account received
in the preceding month (and not including Available Funds received
since the end of the preceding month) shall be applied as
follows:
-
-
(i)
first , ratably to the Class A Purchasers until all
Principal Distribution Amounts, Discount and fees previously
accrued but not yet paid shall have been paid in full;
(ii)
second , ratably to the Class A Purchasers until all other
amounts then due and payable to the Class A Purchasers under the
Transaction Documents shall have been paid in full;

(iv)
fourth , ratably to the Class B Purchasers until all other

Transaction Documents shall have been paid in full;
(v)
fifth , to the Agent until all amounts then due and payable
to the Agent under the Transaction Documents shall have been paid

the Investment Account shall be allocated as follows:
-
-
(i)
first, ratably to the Class A Purchasers until all Class A
Investments of, and Discount and fees previously accrued but not
already paid to, the Class A Purchasers shall have been paid in
full;
(ii)
second, ratably to the Class A Purchasers until all other
amounts owed to the Class A Purchasers shall have been paid in
full;
(iii)
third, ratably to the Class B Purchasers until all Class B
Investments of, and Discount and fees previously accrued but not
already paid to, the Class B Purchasers shall have been paid in
full;
(iv)
fourth, ratably to the Class B Purchasers until all other
amounts owed to the Class B Purchasers shall have been paid in
full;
(v)
fifth, to the Agent until all amounts owed to the Agent
shall have been paid in full;
(vi)
sixth, to any other Person (excluding the Servicers and the
Originators) to whom any amounts are owed under the Transaction
Documents until all such amounts shall have been paid in full;
(vii)
seventh , ratably to the Servicers until all amounts owed to
them under the Transaction Documents shall have been paid in
full;
(viii) eighth,
ratably to the Originators until any amounts then due and payable
under the Subordinated Notes shall have been paid in full; and
(ix)
ninth , to the Seller.
No distributions shall be made to pay amounts under clauses
(vi), (vii), (viii) and (ix) above until sufficient Available Funds
have been set aside to pay all amounts described in clauses (i)
through (v) that may become payable for all outstanding Tranche
Periods.
(f)
Ratable Distributions . All distributions shall be
made ratably within each priority level in accordance with the
respective amounts then due each Person (or group of Persons)
included in such level unless otherwise agreed by the Agent.
(g)
Payment by Seller . As provided in Section 1.3(e)
all Discount and other amounts payable hereunder other than
Investment are payable by the Seller. If any part of any
Collections is applied to pay any such amounts pursuant to this
Section 1.8, the Seller shall pay to the Servicer the amount
so applied for distribution as part of Collections.
10
(h)
Other Funds. If at any time Servicer shall have
notified the Agent that a portion of the funds deposited into the
Collection Account do not constitute the Collections or other
proceeds of the Receivables, and shall have provided to the Agent
such other information or verification as the Agent shall request
with respect thereto, and such funds shall not have been
theretofore applied as Collections in accordance with this Article
I, the Agent shall instruct LaSalle to remit the amount of such
funds to the Seller from collected funds then on deposit in the
Collection Account. Unless and until the Agent receives such
notice and other information or verification, the Agent may treat
and apply such funds as Collections. If the Agent receives
such notice and other information or verification after applying
any such funds that do not constitute Collections, such application
of funds shall not be reversed, provided that the
Receivables Balance shall be increased, as applicable, to reflect
that such applied funds were not Collections.
Section
1.9.
Additional Included Employers and Eligible Relocation Services
Agreements. Schedule III to the Receivables Sale
Agreement may be amended from time to time at the request of the
Seller and the Originators with the consent of the Agent to add an
additional Employer and Relocation Services Agreement as an
Included Employer and an Eligible Relocation Services Agreement,
provided that (i) the Agent has received a complete and
correct copy of the related Relocation Services Agreement
(including, without limitation, all exhibits, schedules, amendments
and addenda thereto), (ii) the related Relocation Services
Agreement is in a form substantially similar to one or more
Relocation Services Agreements from which Eligible Receivables have
arisen prior to February 28, 2005 and otherwise is in form and
substance satisfactory to the Agent, (iii) such additional Included
Employer provides a written consent to the assignments under the
Transaction Documents in a form substantially similar to the form

February 28, 2005 and otherwise in form and substance satisfactory
to the Agent prior to Schedule III being amended to add such
additional Included Employer, (iv) all necessary approvals and
releases with respect to the conveyance of the Receivables arising
under such related Relocation Services Agreement have been obtained
and are in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent, (v) such
additional Included Employer otherwise meets the criteria set forth
in the definition of "Eligible Employer", (vi) such related
Relocation Services Agreement otherwise meets the criteria set
forth in the definition of "Eligible Relocation Services
Agreement", and (vii) such additional Included Employer is
acceptable to the Agent.
Section 1.10.
Increases in Aggregate Class A Commitment and Class A Purchase
Limit .
(a)
Request for Increase . Provided there exists no
Potential Termination Event, upon notice to the Agent (which shall
promptly notify the Purchasers), the Seller may from time to time
on or prior to December 31, 2006, request an increase in the
Aggregate Class A Commitment and the Purchase Limit by an amount
(for all such requests) not exceeding $6,875,000; provided
that any such request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount
of $2,000,000.
(b)
Class A Purchasers . To achieve the full amount
of a requested increase and subject to the approval of the Agent,
the Seller may invite existing Purchasers to increase their
respective Class A Commitments and/or additional Persons to become
Class A Purchasers pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and
substance satisfactory to the Agent and its counsel;
11
provided that nothing herein shall
require any Class A Purchaser to increase its Class A
Commitment. Any Class A Commitment of a Person becoming a new
Class A Purchaser under this Section 1.10 shall be in an amount of
at least $5,000,000.
(c)
Effective Date and Allocations . If the Aggregate
Class A Commitment and Class A Purchase Limit are increased in
accordance with this Section, the Agent and the Seller shall
determine the effective date (the " Increase Effective Date
") and the final allocation of such increase. The Agent shall
promptly notify the Seller and the Purchasers of the final
allocation of such increase and the Increase Effective Date.
(d)
Effectiveness of Class A Commitment Increase . As a
condition precedent to such increase, the Seller shall deliver to
the Agent a certificate of each SIRVA Entity dated as of the
Increase Effective Date confirming that all corporate or limited
liability company action to authorize such increase has been taken
and that no Potential Termination Event exists and the SIRVA
Entities shall pay an increase fee of 0.15% of the amount of each
increase of the Class A Commitment of any Class A Purchaser to the
Agent for the account of such Class A Purchaser. The Class A
Purchasers shall make and receive such payments between themselves
on the Increase Effective Date to the extent necessary to make
their respective Class A Purchase Interests pro rata in accordance
with their respective Class A Commitments after giving effect to
such increase. Schedule II to the Receivables Sale Agreement
shall be modified to reflect the increase in the Aggregate Class A
Commitment, any new Class A Purchaser and any change in Class A
Commitments.
ARTICLE II
CUSTODY OF SPECIFIED DOCUMENTS
Section
2.1.
Specified Documents. (c) The Specified Documents
relating to the Receivables shall be held on behalf of and in trust
for the Agent and the Purchasers in the custody of a Person (a
"Custodian" ) designated to so act on behalf of the
Purchasers under this Article II. As the initial
Custodians, each of SIRVA Relo, Executive Relo and SIRVA Global is
hereby designated as, and agrees to perform the duties and
obligations of, a Custodian for the Specified Documents relating to
Receivables originated by it. Each initial Custodian
acknowledges that the Agent and each Purchaser have relied on the
initial Custodians’ agreement to act as Custodians (and the
agreement of any of the sub-custodians to so act) in making the
decision to execute and deliver this Agreement and agrees that it
will not voluntarily resign as Custodian. At any time after
the occurrence of a Servicer Replacement Event, the Agent may
designate a new Custodian to succeed any initial Custodian (or any
successor Custodian). The Agent may at any time after the
occurrence of a Servicer Replacement Event remove or replace any
sub-custodian. If replaced, each Custodian agrees it will
turn over possession of the Specified Documents in its possession
to the successor Custodian.
(a)
Not less than two Business Days prior to any proposed Purchase Date
(or, in the case of the initial Purchase Date, on the initial
Purchase Date), the Seller or its designee shall deliver or cause
to be delivered (i) to the related Custodian, the Specified
Documents with respect to each Receivable proposed to be added to
the Net Receivables Balance hereunder, together with the related
Document Schedule, and (ii) to the Agent, the Document Schedule
(or
12
other report specifying such information
regarding Receivables being added to the Net Receivables Balance as
the Agent requires). Unless the Agent shall agree otherwise
in writing, delivery to the related Custodian of the Specified
Documents and the Documents Schedule shall be conditions precedent
to any Purchase on such Purchase Date. If the Agent so
agrees, the Seller shall cause any missing Specified Documents to
be delivered to the related Custodian within the time reasonably
required by the Agent (which time shall not exceed 10 days), and
failure to do so shall cause the related Receivable to cease being
an Eligible Receivable. The Seller and the Servicer shall
mark their files relating to the Receivables to note the interest
of the Agent and the Purchasers therein.
(b)
Each Custodian shall maintain custody of the Specified Documents in
trust for the benefit of the Agent and the Purchasers in a secure
fire resistant facility in accordance with its customary standards
for maintaining custody of the comparable documents, separate from
other documents of the Originators and marked to note the interest
of the Agent and the Purchasers hereunder. Each Custodian
will permit, upon reasonable notice, at any time during reasonable
business hours, the Agent or any Purchaser (or any representative
thereof) to visit the offices and properties of such Custodian for
the purpose of examining such arrangements and to discuss matters
relating thereto with any of such Custodian’s officers,
directors or employees having knowledge of such matters.
Section
2.2.
Servicing Releases. (d) From time to time
upon request of a Servicer for release or delivery of any Specified
Document, which request to a Custodian (if the Custodian is not the
same entity as such Servicer) shall be substantially in the form of
Exhibit B hereto, such Custodian shall release and make
delivery of such Specified Documents within its possession as so
instructed. By a delivery of any such request, such Servicer
shall be deemed to have certified that the release or delivery of
such Specified Document is consistent with the requirements of this
Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. Shipment of
the Specified Documents may be made by courier, delivery or
personal delivery (confirmation receipt requested) or such other
means as shall be directed by such Servicer. All Specified
Documents so released or delivered shall be held by such Servicer,
or under its control, in trust for the benefit of the Agent and the
Purchasers. Such Servicer shall return such documents to such
Custodian when such Servicer’s servicing need no longer
exists, unless such release is in connection with the
liquidation of the related Receivable or payment in full of the
related Receivable in accordance with its terms.
(a)
In no event shall any Custodian have any liability for risks
associated with the shipment or delivery of any Specified
Documents, absent such Custodian’s gross negligence or
willful misconduct.
(b)
At the request of the Servicer, a Custodian shall provide to the
Servicer copies of Specified Documents held by such Custodian.
Section
2.3.
Cooperation. (e) Each Servicer will cooperate with
the Custodians, and provide such information as any Custodian shall
reasonably request from time to time, in connection with such
Custodian’s custody of the Specified Documents.
13
(a)
Nothing contained in this Article II shall impair or diminish any
obligation of the Seller or any Servicer with respect to the
servicing or collection of the Receivables. The Agent will
have no liability in connection with its maintenance of custody of
any Specified Documents absent its own willful misconduct or gross
negligence. Without limiting the foregoing the Agent shall
have no obligation to request receipt of any documents the
existence of which has not been made known.
ARTICLE III
ADMINISTRATION AND COLLECTIONS
Section
3.1.
Appointment of Servicer . (f) The
servicing, administering and collecting of the Receivables shall be
conducted by a Person or Persons (whether designated as a "Master
Servicer" or "Subservicer," each a "Servicer" ) designated
to so act on behalf of the Purchasers under this
Article III. As the initial Master Servicer, SIRVA Relo
is hereby designated as, and agrees to perform the duties and
obligations of, the Servicer. The Master Servicer
acknowledges that the Agent and each Purchaser have relied on the
Master Servicer’s agreement to act as Servicer (and the
agreement of each Subservicer and any of the other sub-servicers to
so act) in making the decision to execute and deliver this
Agreement and agrees that it will not voluntarily resign as
Servicer. At any time after the occurrence of a Servicer
Replacement Event, the Agent may designate a new Servicer to
succeed the Master Servicer, any Subservicer or any successor
Servicer.
(a)
The Master Servicer may, and if requested by the Agent shall,
delegate its duties and obligations as Servicer to any Affiliate
(acting as a sub-Servicer). The Master Servicer hereby
delegates to Executive Relo, as an initial Subservicer, its duties
and obligations as Servicer with respect to Receivables originated
by Executive Relo. The Master Servicer hereby delegates to
SIRVA Global, as an initial Subservicer, its duties and obligations
as Servicer with respect to Receivables originated by SIRVA
Global. Notwithstanding such delegation, the Master Servicer
shall remain primarily liable for the performance of the duties and
obligations so delegated, and the Agent and each Purchaser shall
have the right to look solely to the Master Servicer for such
performance. The Agent may at any time after the occurrence
of a Servicer Replacement Event remove or replace any sub-Servicer,
including any Subservicer.
(b)
If replaced, each Servicer agrees it will terminate, and will cause
each existing sub-Servicer to terminate, its collection activities
in a manner requested by the Agent to facilitate the transition to
a new Servicer. Each Servicer shall cooperate with and assist
any new Servicer in assuming the obligation to service the
Receivables, including all reasonable efforts to provide the
Servicer with access to all software programs necessary or
desirable to collect the Receivables. For a ninety day period
after the appointment of a new Servicer, at its own expense, each
Servicer irrevocably agrees to act (if requested to do so) as the
data-processing agent for any new Servicer in substantially the
same manner as such Servicer conducted such data-processing
functions while it acted as the Servicer.
Section
3.2.
Duties of Servicer . (g) Each Servicer
shall take, or cause to be taken, all action necessary or advisable
to collect each Receivable in accordance with this Agreement, the
applicable Credit and Collection Policy and all applicable laws,
rules and regulations using the
14
skill and attention such Servicer exercises in
collecting other receivables or obligations owed solely to
it. Subject to Section 1.8(a), the Servicers will give
written directions to each Included Employer and each Origination
Home Closing Agent, no later than February 15, 2005 (or, if
later, the date on which such Person becomes obligated to remit any
amounts in respect of the Receivables), to remit all amounts due in
respect of the Receivables to the Collection Account;
provided that if the Seller or a Servicer shall receive any
Collections, it shall remit such Collections to the Collection
Account within three Business Days of such receipt. Each
party hereto hereby appoints the Servicer to enforce such
Person’s rights and interests in the Receivables. The
Servicer shall be entitled to commence or settle any legal action
to enforce the collection of any Receivable; provided that,
except with respect to Reserved Collection Matters, the Agent shall
have the right to approve any such settlement unless the related
Originator shall have elected to treat such settlement as an event
giving rise to a Deemed Collection under Section 3.2 of the
Purchase Agreement and shall have made all payments required with
respect thereto under such Section, and the Seller shall have made
any payment required to be made in respect of such Deemed
Collection under Section 1.4. If at any time, the Agent
notifies a Servicer that the Agent believes litigation would be an
appropriate means to collect any Receivable (other than in respect
of Reserved Collection Matters), and such Servicer declines to
initiate such litigation after good faith discussion with the
Agent, the Agent shall be entitled to notify the Obligor on such
Receivable of the assignment of an interest therein to the Agent
and/or to initiate litigation with respect thereto in the name of
the Purchasers or in the name of the related Originator or the
Seller unless the related Originator shall have elected to treat
such Receivable as the subject of a dispute giving rise to Deemed
Collections under Section 3.2 of its Purchase Agreement and
shall have made all payments required with respect thereto under
such Section, and the Seller shall have made any payment required
to be made in respect of such Deemed Collection under
Section 1.4.
(a)
If no Potential Termination Event exists and a Servicer determines
that such action is appropriate in order to maximize the
Collections, such Servicer may, in accordance with the applicable
Credit and Collection Policy, extend the maturity of any Receivable
or adjust the outstanding balance of any Receivable;
provided that (i) no such extension shall be for a period
more than sixty (60) days (or, in the case of an Equity
Advance, 180 days), and (ii) such extension shall not permit a
Receivable to be an Eligible Receivable if it would otherwise cease
to be an Eligible Receivable. Any such extension or
adjustment shall not alter the status of a Receivable as a
Defaulted Receivable or limit any rights of the Agent or the
Purchasers hereunder. If a Potential Termination Event
exists, a Servicer may make such extensions or adjustments only
with the prior consent of the Agent. No Servicer shall make
any modification or adjustment or waive any obligation of any
Obligor with respect to any Receivable without the prior consent of
the Agent.
Section
3.3.
Reports . On each Business Day, the Master Servicer shall
deliver to the Agent a report reflecting information as of the
close of business on the next preceding Business Day (each a "
Daily Report "), containing the information described on
Exhibit C-1 (with such modifications or additional information as
requested by the Agent). On or before each Weekly Reporting
Date, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Agent a report
reflecting information as of the close of business on the next
preceding Business Day (each a " Weekly Report "),
containing the information described on Exhibit C-2 (with such
modifications or additional information as requested by the
Agent). On or before each Monthly Reporting Date, and at
such
15
other times (following reasonable written notice
from the Agent) covering such other periods as is requested by the
Agent, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Agent a report
reflecting information as of the close of business of the Servicer
for the immediately preceding calendar month or such other
preceding period as is requested (each a "Monthly Report" ),
containing the information described on Exhibit C-3 (with such
modifications or additional information as reasonably requested by
the Agent). On or before the last day of each calendar
quarter, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Agent a report
detailing all Receivables by type and Obligor, including current
notice information for each Obligor.
Section
3.4.
Enforcement Rights . (h) At any time after the
occurrence of a Servicer Replacement Event, the Agent may (and, at
the direction of the Required Purchasers, shall, or, if a Class B
Enforcement Trigger exists, at the direction of the Required Class
B Purchasers, shall) direct any Obligors and the Lock-Box Banks to
make all payments on the Receivables directly to the Agent or its
designee. The Agent may, and the Seller shall, at the
Agent’s request, withhold the identity of the Purchasers from
the Obligors and the Lock-Box Banks. Upon the Agent’s
request following a Servicer Replacement Event, the Seller (at the
Seller’s expense) shall (i) give notice to each Obligor
of the Agent’s ownership of the Sold Interests and direct
that payments on Receivables be made directly to the Agent or its
designee, (ii) assemble for the Agent all Records and
collateral security for the Receivables and to transfer (or cause
to be transferred) to the Agent (or its designee) licenses for the
use of, all software useful to collect the Receivables and
(iii) segregate in a manner acceptable to the Agent all
Collections the Seller receives and, within one Business Day of
receipt, remit such Collections in the form received, duly endorsed
or with duly executed instruments of transfer, to the Collection
Account. The Seller and the Servicers hereby confirm that all
software currently used to collect or service Receivables was
developed and owned by them, and hereby grant to the Agent a
license to use any and all such software, which license is coupled
with an interest and is irrevocable.
(a)
Upon the occurrence of a Recording Trigger Event, the Servicers
shall complete and record or to cause to be recorded (and the
Seller and each Servicer hereby consent to the Servicers or the
Agent completing and recording or hereby causing to be recorded) in
the real estate records of the applicable jurisdictions (A)
Relocating Employee Contracts, Origination Home Deeds and/or
Origination Home Purchase Contracts in such manner and in the names
of such transferees as the Agent may require and (B) such other
documents as the Agent may reasonably require, in form reasonably
satisfactory to the Agent, evidencing the conveyance of Relocating
Employee Contracts, Origination Home Deeds and/or Origination Home
Purchase Contracts.
(b)
Each Servicer shall segregate any Collections received by it from
other funds of the Seller and the Servicers within three Business
Days of receipt and hold such amounts for the Agent (for the
benefit of the Purchasers). The Seller hereby irrevocably
appoints the Agent as its attorney-in-fact coupled with an
interest, with full power of substitution and with full authority
in the place of the Seller, to take any and all steps deemed
desirable by the Agent, in the name and on behalf of the Seller to
(i) collect any amounts due under any Receivable, including
endorsing the name of the Seller on checks and other instruments
representing Collections and enforcing such Receivables, and
(ii) exercise any and all of the Seller’s rights and
remedies under the Purchase Agreement. The Agent’s
powers under this Section 3.4(c) shall not subject the
Agent
16
to any liability if any action taken by it proves
to be inadequate or invalid, nor shall such powers confer any
obligation whatsoever upon the Agent.
(c)
The Agent is hereby authorized to give notice at any time after the
occurrence and during the continuance of a Termination Event to any
or all Lock-Box Banks that the Agent is exercising its rights under
the Lock-Box Agreements and to take all actions permitted under the

received in the Collection Account as Collections. If the

reversed, provided that the Receivables Balance shall be
increased, as applicable, to reflect that such applied amounts were
not Collections.

exercise of any rights hereunder shall not relieve the Seller or

acting as Servicer, sub-Servicer or otherwise) related to any
Receivable, or arising out of any alleged failure of compliance of
any Receivable with the provisions of any law or regulation.
Section
3.8.
Indemnities by Servicers . Without limiting any other
rights any such Person may have hereunder or under applicable law,
the Servicers, jointly and severally, hereby indemnify and hold

officers, directors, agents and employees (each an "Indemnified
Party" ) from and against any and all damages, losses, claims,
liabilities, penalties, Taxes, costs and expenses (including
attorneys’ fees and court costs) (all of the foregoing
collectively, the "Indemnified Losses" ) at any time imposed
on or incurred by any Indemnified Party arising out of or otherwise
relating to:
-
-
(i)
any written representation or warranty made by a Servicer (or any
employee or agent of a Servicer) in this Agreement, any other
Transaction Document, any Monthly Report or any other information
or report delivered by a Servicer pursuant hereto, which shall have
been false or incorrect in any material respect when made;

the failure by a Servicer to comply with any applicable law, rule
or regulation related to any Receivable, or the nonconformity of
any Receivable with any such applicable law, rule or
regulation;

loss of a perfected security interest or ownership interest (or in
the priority of such security interest or ownership interest) as a
result of a Servicer acting as Custodian or as a result of any
commingling by a Servicer of funds to which the Agent or any
Purchaser is entitled hereunder with any other funds; or
(iv) any
failure of a Servicer to perform its duties or obligations in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or any other
Transaction Document to which a Servicer is a party;
whether arising by reason of the acts to be performed by a
Servicer hereunder or otherwise, excluding only Indemnified Losses
to the extent (a) such Indemnified Losses resulted from the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Party
seeking indemnification, or (b) such Indemnified Losses
resulted due to Receivables being uncollectible on account of the
insolvency, bankruptcy or lack of creditworthiness of the related
Obligor, or (c) such Indemnified Losses include Taxes on, or
measured by, the overall net income of the Agent or any Purchaser
(determined on the assumption that the transactions contemplated
hereby would constitute debt for tax purposes); provided,
however, that nothing contained in this sentence shall
18
limit the liability of the Servicers or limit the
recourse of the Agent and each Purchaser to the Servicers for any
amounts otherwise specifically provided to be paid by the Servicers
hereunder.
