shall such Funding Purchaser make any such purchase where the
aggregate amount of such Funding Purchaser’s ownership
interests in the Purchased Receivables from all the Companies
purchased by such Funding Purchaser hereunder and outstanding at
any time would exceed such Funding Purchaser’s Purchase
Commitment; and provided , further , that nothing in
this Section shall be deemed to limit or restrict any rights or
remedies of any Company under this Agreement with respect to such
Non-Funding Purchaser for any breach or default by such Non-Funding
Purchaser of its obligations hereunder.
Section 3. Transmission of
Receivables Information and Purchase Procedure.
3.1 Tech Data, on behalf of
itself and each other Company offering Eligible Receivables for
purchase, shall deliver to each Purchaser before 2:00 p.m.
(Atlanta, Georgia
15
time) not later than one Business Day
immediately preceding each proposed Purchase Date, or at mutually
agreed upon intervals, a Receivables List. If agreed to by a
Purchaser, delivery of the Receivables List may be satisfied as to
such Purchaser, in whole or in any part, through direct electronic
or Internet access by such Purchaser to each selling
Company’s systems and databases (or that of such
Company’s third party provider of Receivables services, if
such access is approved by the third party provider) to view or
retrieve the information specified above, at no cost to such
Purchaser. Each Company shall timely deliver to Purchasers, in a
mutually acceptable form, all other data or information otherwise
requested by Purchasers’ Agent, on behalf of any Purchaser,
in order to purchase such Eligible Receivables under this
Agreement.
3.2 Each Purchaser shall have
the right to inspect, during each Company’s normal business
hours upon at least one (1) Business Day’s prior notice,
and to request and obtain copies of, each Company’s Books and
Records relating to Eligible Receivables, in each case with such
notice or request to be given or made by Purchasers’ Agent on
behalf of any Purchaser.
3.3 The Books and Records
maintained by each Company relating to Purchased Receivables and
the collection by each Company of Purchased Receivables shall be
clearly identifiable for all purposes (including audit purposes)
and shall clearly reflect that all rights, title and interests in
the Purchased Receivables have been sold, transferred and assigned.
Such Books and Records shall include information sufficient to
permit identification of the respective percentage interests owned
by the Purchasers in the Purchased Receivables and the particular
Purchased Receivables to which amounts collected in respect of the
Purchased Receivables and other Purchased Assets are attributable.
Each Purchaser (including its auditors, legal counsel or
accountants retained by such Purchaser) may inspect and request
copies of such Books and Records relating to Purchased Receivables
at any time at each Company’s offices during normal business
hours and upon notice given by Purchasers’ Agent, on behalf
of any Purchaser, at least one (1) Business Day in advance to
such Company. Each Company shall (i) bear responsibility for
ensuring that Purchasers have the right to inspect, obtain copies,
and gain access to any such Books and Records held or maintained by
any third party, and (ii) bear any loss occasioned by any
Purchaser’s inability to obtain access to information with
respect to such Purchased Receivables from the Books and
Records.
3.4 The payment for the
purchase and sale of the Purchased Receivables shall occur pursuant
to Section 4 hereof. The Purchase Date for each sale of
Eligible Receivables shall be deemed to occur on the date
Purchasers’ Agent enters the purchase of such Eligible
Receivables in its books and records (including entries which may
be made electronically to books and records kept on
Purchasers’ Agent’s computer systems). If any Company
fails to deliver to Purchasers’ Agent any documents
evidencing any of the Purchased Receivables, including
documentation of the Invoice and delivery tracking numbers with
respect to any such Purchased Receivables (and which each such
Company shall hold as bailee for Purchasers’ Agent and
Purchasers), immediately upon request (or, in the case of
documentation evidencing the actual delivery of Goods giving rise
to such Eligible Receivables, as soon as practicable following such
request by Purchasers’ Agent, but in any event not later than
15 days following such request), then Purchasers may require such
Company to repurchase such Receivables in accordance with the
procedures set forth in Section 5 .
16
Section 4. Payment and
Purchase Price.
4.1 The purchase of
Receivables by Purchasers pursuant to this Agreement on each
Purchase Date shall vest in Purchasers full legal, equitable and
beneficial title in and to each Receivable purchased on such
Purchase Date on the terms and subject to the terms and conditions
of this Agreement, with each such Purchaser to receive and hold an
undivided interest therein equal to its Purchase Commitment
Percentage (or, to the extent provided in Section 2.7
above, a one-hundred percent (100%) interest therein to be
held by any Funding Purchaser). The entry of the purchase of such
Receivables by Purchasers’ Agent in its books and records
shall constitute conclusive evidence of the transfer of ownership
of such Receivables to the respective Purchasers as provided in
this Agreement.
4.2 Purchasers’ Agent,
upon written direction from each Purchaser and on behalf of each
Purchaser from the funds made available by it to Purchasers’
Agent, shall pay the Purchase Price in Dollars, as set forth in
Section 4.3 , to Tech Data for the account of the
selling Company for the Receivables being purchased. Tech Data
shall, on behalf of each of the Companies, pay the Program Fee in
Dollars directly to Purchasers’ Agent, for the account of
each Purchaser, as set forth in Section 4.3 , on each
Settlement Date when (i) no Eligible Receivables are offered
by any Company for sale to Purchasers hereunder, or (ii) the
aggregate amount of Eligible Receivables offered by all Companies
for sale to Purchasers is less than $1,000,000.
4.3 The parties shall adhere
to the following settlement procedures, unless otherwise agreed by
Purchasers, for so long as this Agreement remains in effect or any
Receivables Balance remains outstanding, as follows with respect to
the Purchase Price, Program Fee, Repurchase Receivables, and
Commercial Disputes:
| |
(1) |
The Servicer shall deliver to each Purchaser, at least one
Business Day prior to each Settlement Date (and at such other times
as may be requested by Purchasers), an accounts aging trial balance
report (the “ Receivables Report ”) in such form
and with such detail as approved by Purchasers for all Purchased
Receivables, and the Servicer and each of the Companies shall
deliver to each Purchaser any other reports or other information
with respect to such Purchased Receivables as may be reasonably
requested by Purchasers’ Agent, on behalf of any
Purchaser. |
| |
(2) |
The Servicer shall pay to Purchasers’ Agent, for the
account of Purchasers, on or before each Settlement Date,
(i) all amounts the Servicer has collected (including any
proceeds of credit insurance received in respect of any Purchased
Receivables) since the preceding Settlement Date on account of
Purchased Receivables or otherwise for the benefit of Purchasers,
(ii) the Program Fee, if any, payable to Purchasers in
accordance with their respective Pro Rata Interests, and
(iii) all other amounts otherwise owed by any Company to
Purchasers as of such Settlement Date. |
17
| |
(3) |
Each Company shall identify and hold in trust for Purchasers
all amounts remitted or paid to such Company, if any, on account of
each Purchased Receivable from such Company as the property of
Purchasers (including any proceeds of credit insurance received in
respect of any Purchased Receivables), and shall immediately
deposit all such funds in the Purchasers Deposit Account from time
to time, subject to reconciliation on each subsequent Settlement
Date. |
| |
(4) |
Purchasers’ Agent shall promptly notify each Purchaser of
the amount of its share, based on Section 2.7 , of the
amounts to be paid to or for the account of any Company in respect
of the Purchase Price for the Receivables to be purchased hereunder
and the Discount Percentage applicable thereto. Each Purchaser
shall make such amount available to the Purchasers’ Agent in
immediately available funds not later than 12:00 Noon (Atlanta,
Georgia time) on the applicable Settlement Date. Upon satisfaction
of the applicable conditions to such purchase, the
Purchasers’ Agent shall make available to Tech Data for the
account of the applicable Companies the amounts received by the
Purchasers’ Agent from Purchasers. If Purchasers’ Agent
shall have received written direction from a Purchaser on or prior
to 10:00 a.m. on any Settlement Date that such Purchaser will make
available to Purchasers’ Agent such Purchaser’s share
of the applicable Purchase Price, Purchasers’ Agent may
assume that such Purchaser has made such share available on such
date and may, in reliance on such assumption, make available to
Tech Data, for the account of the applicable Companies, a
corresponding amount. In such event, if a Purchaser has not in fact
made its share of the applicable Purchase Price available to
Purchasers’ Agent, then the applicable Purchaser agrees to
pay to Purchasers’ Agent forthwith on demand such
corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest
thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is
made available to Tech Data, for the account of the applicable
Companies, to but excluding the date of payment to
Purchasers’ Agent, at (i) the greater of (x) the
Federal Funds Rate, and (y) an overnight rate determined by
Purchasers’ Agent in accordance with prevailing banking
industry customs and practices for interbank compensation;
provided , however , that if such amount remains
unpaid for a period longer than two (2) Business Days, such
interest rate shall increase to an amount equal to the Base Rate
plus an additional one percent (1.00%) per
annum. |
| |
(5) |
Except as
otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by any Company
hereunder shall be made to Purchasers’ Agent, for the account
of the respective Purchasers to which such payment is owed, at
Purchasers’ Agent’s designated office in immediately
available funds on the applicable Settlement Date or as otherwise
due hereunder. Purchasers’ Agent will promptly distribute to
each Purchaser its applicable share of such payment in like funds.
Unless Purchasers’ Agent shall receive notice from
a
|
18
| |
Company prior to the date
on which any payment is due to Purchasers’ Agent for the
account of Purchasers that such Company will not make such payment,
Purchasers’ Agent may assume that such Company has made such
payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance
upon such assumption, distribute to Purchasers the amount due. In
such event, if such Company has not in fact made such payment, then
each Purchaser severally agrees to repay to Purchasers’ Agent
forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Purchaser in
immediately available funds with interest thereon, from each day
from and including the date such amount is distributed to it, to
but excluding the date of payment to Purchasers’ Agent, at
the greater of (i) the Federal Funds Rate, and (ii) an
overnight rate determined by Purchasers’ Agent in accordance
with prevailing banking industry customs and practices for
interbank compensation.
|
| |
(6) |
The obligations owed by the parties to one another as of each
Settlement Date shall be netted against one another. All payments
to be made by Purchasers’ Agent on behalf of Purchasers to
any Company, and all payments to be made by any Company to
Purchasers’ Agent for the account of Purchasers hereunder,
shall be made in Dollars in same day funds in time to be credited
in accordance with normal banking procedures on the day when such
payment is due and payable in accordance with the most current
written wire instructions previously provided by one party to the
other parties. |
| |
(7) |
Whenever any payment to be made by one party to the other shall
become due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be due
on the immediately following Business Day, including as provided in
Section 2.4 . |
Section 5. Risk of
Loss.
5.1 Except as specified
herein below, Purchasers are assuming the risk of loss or
non-payment, relative to Purchased Receivables, which is due solely
to the respective Obligors’ Financial Inability to Pay on the
date payment is due. Each Company retains all risk of loss or
non-payment due in whole or in part to any Commercial
Dispute.
5.2 If an Obligor does not
pay all or any portion of a Purchased Receivable when such
Purchased Receivable is due and payable on account of a Commercial
Dispute (other than on account of a Commercial Dispute described in
clause (iii) of the definition of “Commercial
Dispute”), the selling Company may attempt to resolve with
such Obligor the non-payment during the sixty (60) day period
immediately following the earlier of (i) the date such Company
became aware of the Commercial Dispute, and (ii) the Due Date
for such Purchased Receivable. The selling Company shall notify
Purchasers’ Agent of any settlement of Commercial Disputes
known to it after reasonable investigation and the applicable
Receivable Adjustments, if any. The selling Company shall pay to
Purchasers’ Agent, for the account of Purchasers, the amount
of any such Receivable Adjustment in Dollars on the next Settlement
Date. In the event that
19
such Company pays to Purchasers’
Agent the Receivable Adjustment and Purchasers’ Agent or
Purchasers receive payment in full of the remaining unpaid portion
of such Purchased Receivable, then any further payments received by
Purchasers’ Agent or Purchasers on such Purchased Receivable
(but not to exceed the amount of Receivable Adjustment actually
paid by such Company to Purchasers’ Agent) shall be remitted
to such Company and such Receivable Adjustment shall not be
considered as an Adjustment for any further purpose under this
Agreement. Neither Purchasers’ Agent nor any Purchaser shall
have any duty to investigate the bona fide nature or the validity
of any Commercial Dispute.
5.3 If a Purchased Receivable
subject to a Commercial Dispute (other than a Commercial Dispute
limited to the type described in clause (iii) of the
definition of “Commercial Dispute”) has been
outstanding for more than sixty (60) days past the applicable
Due Date, then Purchasers’ Agent, upon written direction from
Purchasers and on behalf of Purchasers, may require the selling
Company to repurchase the Unresolved Dispute Amount. For Commercial
Disputes limited to the type described in clause (iii) of the
definition of “Commercial Dispute”, Purchasers’
Agent, upon written direction from Purchasers and on behalf of
Purchasers, may require the selling Company to repurchase the
Unresolved Dispute Amount after it has been outstanding for more
than one hundred twenty (120) days past the Due Date. Subject
to this Section 5.3 , such Company shall repay to
Purchasers’ Agent, for the account of Purchasers, the
Unresolved Dispute Amount in Dollars on the next Settlement Date
and upon such repurchase such Unresolved Dispute Amount shall not
be considered as an Adjustment for any further purpose under this
Agreement. If the Unresolved Dispute Amount is paid by such
Company, and Purchasers’ Agent or Purchasers receive further
payments of the remaining unpaid portion of such Purchased
Receivable which, combined with the Unresolved Dispute Amount paid
by such Company to Purchasers’ Agent for such Purchased
Receivable, equal to or exceeds the Invoice Amount (less applicable
Adjustments) with respect to such Purchased Receivable, then
further payments received by Purchasers’ Agent or Purchasers
on such Purchased Receivable (but not to exceed the Unresolved
Dispute Amount actually paid by such Company to Purchasers’
Agent) shall be remitted to such Company or to Tech Data on behalf
of such Company. If the entire Purchased Receivable balance is
repaid by such Company, it becomes a Repurchase Receivable (as
provided below), and each Purchaser, upon payment, shall transfer
its undivided interest in the Repurchase Receivable and the rights
appurtenant thereto to such Company without any warranties,
representations, or recourse whatsoever, other than a
representation and warranty that such Purchaser has not transferred
its undivided interest in the Repurchase Receivable to any other
third party and that such Repurchase Receivable is not subject to
any security interest, lien or encumbrance granted or created by
such Purchaser; provided , however , that such
transfer shall not affect, and any Repurchase Receivable so
transferred shall continue to be subject to, the security interest
granted pursuant to Section 8.3 of this Agreement. In
the event such Company pays Purchasers’ Agent, for the
account of Purchasers, the amount necessary when added to other
sums received for such Repurchase Receivable, equal to the Invoice
Amount (less applicable Adjustments) of the Repurchase Receivable,
then any further payments received by Purchasers’ Agent or
Purchasers thereafter on such Receivable shall be remitted to such
Company or to Tech Data on behalf of such Company. This repayment
obligation shall apply only as set forth in this
Section 5.3 . In the event that such Company repays
Purchasers’ Agent, for the account of Purchasers, the entire
balance owing under the Purchased Receivable as provided in
this
20
paragraph, and Purchasers’ Agent
or Purchasers receive further payments of the remaining unpaid
portion of such Purchased Receivable from the Obligor, then further
payments received by Purchasers’ Agent or Purchasers on such
Receivable shall be remitted to such Company or to Tech Data on
behalf of such Company. Purchasers’ Agent and Purchasers
shall cooperate with such Company’s efforts to resolve and
obtain payment of an Unresolved Dispute Amount.
5.4 The Servicer will direct
the collection process to collect or resolve all Unresolved Dispute
Amounts in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policies and
Procedures.
5.5 If any Purchased
Receivable shall be an amount less than that specified in the
Receivables List (after giving effect to any Adjustments known on
the Purchase Date) by reason of a credit issued by the selling
Company or a reduction taken by an Obligor in respect of a discount
or other claim, then such Company shall pay such difference to
Purchasers’ Agent, for the account of Purchasers, on the next
Settlement Date, or Purchasers’ Agent may, upon written
direction from Purchasers at their option, deduct such payment from
any payment due from Purchasers under this Agreement.
5.6 If any warranty made by
any Company pursuant to this Agreement (including the warranties
set forth in Section 7 below) in respect of any
Purchased Receivables proves to have been inaccurate or false when
deemed made hereunder, then without limiting Purchasers’
rights and remedies under this Agreement, such Purchased
Receivables shall be repurchased by the selling Company on the next
Settlement Date for the full amount thereof then owing to
Purchasers in respect thereof.
5.7 If any Company owes
Purchasers or Purchasers’ Agent any amount under this
Agreement, Purchasers or Purchasers’ Agent may, in their or
its sole discretion, deduct, offset or recoup the amount due and
payable from any amount due or to become due under this Agreement
from Purchasers or Purchasers’ Agent, including without
limitation, the payment of the Purchase Price of any Purchased
Receivables thereafter purchased by Purchasers, in their or its
sole discretion, without any form of prior notice, and such action
shall constitute payment of the such Purchase Price for purposes of
this Agreement.
