corporation ( “Pine Mountain” ), THE
COLEMAN COMPANY, INC., a Delaware corporation (
“Coleman” ), and SUNBEAM PRODUCTS INC., a
Delaware corporation ( “Sunbeam” ); each,
together with any New Originator (as hereinafter defined), herein
referred to collectively as the “ Originators
” and each as an “ Originator
”;
(2) JARDEN RECEIVABLES, LLC
, a Delaware limited liability company (
“Buyer” ).
This Agreement amends and restates in
its entirety that certain Receivables Contribution and Sale
Agreement dated as of August 24, 2006 among the parties (the
“Existing Agreement ”). 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 the Loan Agreement).
PRELIMINARY
STATEMENTS
Pursuant to the Existing
Agreement, on the Original Funding Date, Sunbeam contributed
certain Receivables (the “ Original Contributed
Receivables ”) to the capital of Buyer, and Coleman
sold certain Receivables (the “ Original Purchased
Receivables ”) to Borrower in consideration for the
purchase price set forth in the Existing Agreement.
1
After the original Funding
Date, Coleman and Sunbeam sold additional Receivables (the “
Original Additional Purchased Receivables ”
and, together with the Original Contributed Receivables and the
Original Purchased Receivables, the “ Original
Receivables ”) to Buyer in consideration for the
purchase price set forth in the Existing Agreement. From and after
the Original Funding Date and prior to the Restatement Effective
Date, no further contributions of Receivables were made by
Sunbeam.
Each of Sunbeam, Coleman and
the Buyer desire to amend and restate the Existing Agreement in its
entirety. Each New Originator wishes to become party
thereto.
Each of the Originators now
owns, and from time to time hereafter will own, Receivables. Each
of the Originators wishes to sell and assign to Buyer, and Buyer
wishes to purchase from such Originator, all of such
Originator’s right, title and interest in and to such
Receivables, together with the Related Security and Collections
with respect thereto.
Each of the Originators and
Buyer intend the transactions contemplated hereby to be true sales
of the Receivables from such Originator to Buyer, providing Buyer
with the full benefits of ownership of the Receivables, and neither
the Originators nor Buyer intend these transactions to be, or for
any purpose to be characterized as, loans from Buyer to any
Originator.
Buyer plans to finance its
purchases of Receivables hereunder by borrowing under that certain
Amended and Restated Loan Agreement dated as of August 8, 2007
(as the same may from time to time hereafter be amended,
supplemented, restated or otherwise modified, the “Loan
Agreement” ) among Buyer, as borrower, Jarden
Corporation, a Delaware corporation, as initial servicer (the
“ Initial Servicer ” ),
Three Pillars Funding LLC, a Delaware limited liability company
(together with its successors and permitted assigns, the “
Lender ”) and SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc.,
a Tennessee corporation, as agent and administrator for the Lender
(in such capacity, together with its successor and assigns in such
capacity, the “ Administrator
”).
2
NOW, THEREFORE,
in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements herein
contained and for other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the
parties hereto agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF
CONTRIBUTIONS AND PURCHASES
Section 1.1
Contributions of Receivables. From time to time on and after
the Restatement Effective Date, Sunbeam in its sole discretion may
contribute to Buyer’s capital, and Buyer agrees to accept
from Sunbeam, Additional Contributed Receivables, together with all
Related Security relating thereto and all Collections
thereof.
Section 1.2 Purchases
of Receivables . Effective on the Restatement Effective Date,
in consideration for the Purchase Price and upon the terms and
subject to the conditions set forth herein:
(a) Each Restatement Date
Originator does hereby sell, assign, transfer, set-over and
otherwise convey to Buyer, without recourse (except to the extent
expressly provided herein), and buyer does hereby purchase from
such Restatement Date Originator, all of such Restatement Date
Originator’s right, title and interest in and to the Initial
Purchased Receivables; and
(b) Each Originator does
hereby sell, assign, transfer, set-over and otherwise convey to
Buyer, without recourse (except to the extent expressly provided
herein), and Buyer does hereby purchase from such Originator, all
of such Originator’s right, title and interest in and to the
Additional Purchased Receivables, together, in each case, with all
Related Security relating thereto and all Collections
thereof.
In accordance with the
preceding clauses (a) and (b), on the Restatement Effective
Date, Buyer shall acquire all of each Restatement Date
Originator’s right, title and interest in and to all Initial
Purchased Receivables and, on each subsequent Purchase Date, each
Originators’ right, title and interest in and to the
Additional Purchased Receivables, together with all Related
Security relating thereto and all Collections thereof. Buyer shall
be obligated to pay the Purchase Price for the Receivables
purchased from each Originator hereunder in accordance with
Section 1.4.
3
Section 1.3 Purchases
and Contributions.
(a) At least two
(2) Business Days prior to each Distribution Date (each, a
“Monthly Reporting Date” ), each
Originator shall (or shall require the Servicer to) deliver to
Buyer a report in substantially the form of Exhibit V hereto (each
such report being herein called a “Purchase and
Contribution Report” ) with respect to the
Receivables sold or, as applicable, contributed by such Originator
to Buyer during the Calculation Period then most recently ended. In
addition to, and not in limitation of, the foregoing, in connection
with the payment of the Purchase Price for any Receivables
purchased hereunder, Buyer may request that the applicable
Originator deliver, and such Originator shall deliver, such
approvals, opinions, information or documents as Buyer may
reasonably request.
(b) It is the intention of
the parties hereto that each Purchase and contribution of
Receivables made hereunder or under the Existing Agreement shall
constitute a sale or other outright transfer, which sale or
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 1.5 ,
each sale and contribution of Receivables hereunder or under the
Existing Agreement is made without recourse to any Originator;
provided, however, that (i) each Originator
shall be liable to Buyer for all representations, warranties,
covenants and indemnities made by such Originator pursuant to the
terms of the Transaction Documents to which such Originator is a
party, and (ii) no such sale shall constitute or is intended
to result in an assumption by Buyer or any assignee thereof of any
obligation of any Originator or any other Person arising in
connection with the Receivables, the related Contracts and/or other
Related Security or any other obligations of any Originator. In
view of the intention of the parties hereto that each Purchase and
contribution of Receivables made hereunder and under the Existing
Agreement shall constitute a sale or other outright transfer of
such Receivables rather than loans secured thereby, each of the
Originators agrees that on or prior to the date on which it became
or hereafter becomes a party to this Agreement and in accordance
with Section 4.1(e)(ii) , it will mark its master data
processing records relating to the Receivables originated by such
Originator with an indication acceptable to Buyer and to the
Administrator (as Buyer’s assignee) evidencing that Buyer has
acquired such Receivables as provided in this Agreement and to note
in its financial statements that its Receivables have been sold or
contributed to Buyer. Upon the request of Buyer or the
Administrator (as Buyer’s assignee), each Originator will
execute (if required) 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 and the Related Security and
Collections with respect thereto, or as Buyer or the Administrator
(as Buyer’s assignee) may reasonably request.
4
Section 1.4 Payment
for the Purchases .
(a) From and after the
Restatement Effective Date, the Purchase Price for each Purchase
(i) shall be paid to the applicable Originator by delivery of
immediately available funds to the extent of funds loaned to or
Collections made available to Buyer under the Loan Agreement
(except that Buyer may, with respect to any such Purchase Price,
offset against such Purchase Price any amounts owed by such
Originator to Buyer hereunder and which have become due but remain
unpaid), (ii) shall be paid to such Originator in the manner
provided in the following paragraph (b), and (iii) shall be
due and owing in full by Buyer to the applicable Originator or its
designee on the latest to occur of (A) the Restatement
Effective Date, (B) such later date on which such Originator
becomes party to this Agreement, and (C) the date each such
Receivable comes into existence. From and after the Termination
Date, no Originator shall be obligated to sell Receivables to
Buyer.
(b) Although the Purchase
Price for each Purchased Receivable shall be due and payable in
full by Buyer to such Originator on the date specified in
Section 1.4(a), settlement of the Purchase Price between Buyer
and each Originator may 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 Purchase and Contribution Report
delivered by such Originator for the Calculation Period then most
recently ended. Although settlement shall be effected on Settlement
Dates, any contribution of capital by Sunbeam to Buyer made
pursuant to Section 1.1(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 1.5 Deemed
Collections; Purchase Price Credit Adjustments . If on any
day:
(a) the Outstanding Balance
of a Purchased Receivable is:
(i) reduced as a result of
any defective or rejected or returned goods or services, any
discount or any adjustment or otherwise by the applicable
Originator (other than as a result of such Receivable becoming a
Charge-Off or to reflect cash Collections on account of such
Receivable),
(ii) reduced or canceled as a
result of a setoff in respect of any claim by any Person (whether
such claim arises out of the same or a related transaction or an
unrelated transaction), or
(b) any of the
representations and warranties set forth in Sections 2.1(h),
(i), (j), (l), (r), (s), (t), (u), the second sentence of
Section 2.1(q) hereof and the last clause (relating to
bulk sales laws) of Section 2.1(c) are not true when
made or deemed made with respect to any Purchased
Receivable,
5
then, in such event, the applicable
Originator shall be deemed to have received a Collection of such
Purchased Receivable (each such Purchased Receivable, a
“Defective Receivable” ), and Buyer shall
be entitled to a credit (each, a “Purchase Price
Credit” ) against the Purchase Price otherwise
payable hereunder with respect to Receivables originated by such
Originator, in each case, in an amount equal to the Outstanding
Balance of such Purchased Receivable (calculated before giving
effect to the applicable reduction or cancellation). If such
Purchase Price Credit exceeds the Original Balance of all Purchased
Receivables coming into existence during the two-week period
beginning on such day, then the applicable Originator shall pay the
remaining amount of such Purchase Price Credit in cash
immediately.
Upon receipt of a Purchase Price Credit
for a Defective Receivable from the applicable Originator, Buyer
shall automatically and without further action convey and assign to
such Originator Buyer’s right, title and interest in and to
such Defective Receivable without recourse, representation or
warranty of any kind, except as to the absence of liens, charges or
encumbrances created by or arising solely as a result of actions of
Buyer or the Administrator. Such assignment shall be a sale and
assignment outright and not for security.
Section 1.6 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 applicable Originator designated from time to
time by such Originator or as otherwise directed by such
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, a fee on such amounts at a rate per
annum equal to the Default Rate until paid in full;
provided, however, that such fee shall not at any
time exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. All
computations of fees 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 1.7 License
of Software .
(a) To the extent that any
software used by any Originator to account for the Receivables
originated by it is non-transferable, such Originator hereby grants
to Buyer, the Administrator and Servicer an irrevocable,
non-exclusive license to use, without royalty or payment of any
kind, all such software used by such Originator to account for such
Receivables, to the extent necessary to administer such
Receivables, whether such software is owned by such Originator or
is owned by others and used by such 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
applicable Originator hereby agrees that upon the request of Buyer
(or its assigns), such Originator will use its reasonable efforts
to obtain the consent of such third-party licensor. The license
granted
6
hereby shall be irrevocable until the
later to occur of (i) indefeasible payment in full of the
Obligations (as defined in the Loan Agreement), and (ii) the
date on which each of this Agreement and the Loan Agreement
terminates in accordance with its terms.
(b) Each Originator
(i) shall take such action requested by Buyer and/or the
Administrator (as the ultimate assignee), from time to time
hereafter, that may be necessary or appropriate to ensure that
Buyer under the Loan Agreement has an enforceable ownership
interest in the records included in the Receivable Files relating
to the Receivables acquired from such Originator hereunder, and
(ii) shall use its reasonable efforts to ensure that Buyer,
the Administrator and 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 1.8
Characterization . If, notwithstanding the intention of the
parties expressed in Section 1.3(b) , any sale or
contribution by any Originator of Receivables hereunder shall be
characterized as a secured loan and not as a sale or contribution,
or such sale or contribution 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, and each
of the Originators and Buyer represents and warrants as to itself
that each remittance of Collections by any Originator to Buyer
under this Agreement is (i) in payment of a debt incurred by
the applicable Originator in the ordinary course of business
or financial affairs of such Originator and Buyer and
(ii) made in the ordinary course of business or financial
affairs of such Originator and Buyer. For this purpose and without
being in derogation of the parties’ intention that each
transfer of Receivables by an Originator hereunder shall constitute
a true sale or contribution thereof: Each Originator hereby grants
to Buyer a valid and continuing security interest in all of such
Originator’s right, title and interest in, to and under all
Receivables which are now existing or hereafter arising and are
intended to be sold or contributed by such Originator to Buyer in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, all Collections and
Related Security with respect thereto, all other rights and
payments relating to such 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 purchased from such Originator together with all
other obligations of such Originator hereunder, which security
interest shall be prior to all other Adverse Claims thereto. Buyer
and its assigns shall have, in 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.

jurisdiction of organization as specified in Exhibit II
hereto. Such Originator is validly existing and in good standing
under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization and is duly
qualified to do business and is in good standing as a foreign
corporation and has and holds all corporate or company 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 an Originator
Material Adverse Effect.
(b) Power and Authority;
Due Authorization, Execution and Delivery. The execution and
delivery by such 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 such
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 action on its part. This
Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which such
Originator is a party has been duly executed and delivered by such
Originator.
(c) No Conflict. The
execution and delivery by such 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 Organizational Documents,
(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, 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 such Originator or its Subsidiaries (except as
created hereunder) except, in any case, where such contravention or
violation could not reasonably be expected to have an Originator
Material Adverse Effect; and no transaction contemplated hereby
requires compliance with any bulk sales act or similar law other
than compliance, if required, with any notice requirements which
are satisfied prior to the Purchase Date with respect
thereto.
(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 such 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 is no litigation, arbitration, governmental investigation,
proceeding or inquiry pending or, to the actual knowledge of any of
their officers,
8
threatened against or affecting such
Originator or any of its Subsidiaries which could reasonably be
expected to have an Originator Material Adverse Effect or which
seeks to prevent, enjoin or delay any Purchase. Other than any
liability incident to any litigation, arbitration or proceeding
that could not reasonably be expected to have an Originator
Material Adverse Effect, such Originator and its Subsidiaries have
no material contingent obligations not provided for or disclosed in
the footnotes to its financial statements delivered prior to the
Closing Date.
(f) Binding Effect.
This Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which such
Originator is a party constitute the legal, valid and binding
obligations of such Originator enforceable against such 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. Each Originator Representation, Originator
Financial Statement, Compliance Certificate, Notice of Termination
event, Notice of Originator Material Adverse Effect, receivables
and Originator Information and Purchase and Contribution Report
shall be complete and correct and fairly present the information
contained therein in all material respects as of the date made,
reported, or certified, as applicable ( provided that
the foregoing materiality threshold shall not be applicable with
respect to any representation or warranty which itself contains a
materiality threshold), and do not contain any material
misstatement of fact as of such date or omit to state a material
fact or any fact necessary to make the information contained
therein, taken as a whole with all other written information
provided by Authorized Officers as of such date, not misleading as
of such date
(h) Use of Proceeds.
No portion of any Purchase Price payment hereunder will be used for
a purpose that violates, or would be inconsistent with, any law,
rule or regulation applicable to such Originator.
(i) Good Title. Upon
creation by such Originator of each Receivable and immediately
prior to its Purchase hereunder, such Originator (i) is the
legal and beneficial owner of each such Receivable and its
Collections 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 such Originator): (i) legal and equitable
title to, with the right to sell and encumber each Receivable
originated by such Originator, whether now existing and hereafter
arising, together with the Collections with respect thereto, and
(ii) all of such 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 Transactions Documents. There have been duly filed all
financing statements or other similar instruments or documents
necessary under the UCC (or any
9
comparable law) of all appropriate
jurisdictions solely to the extent required to perfect
Buyer’s ownership interest in such Receivables, the Related
Security and the Collections. In the event that, contrary to the
mutual intent of such Originator and the Buyer, any Purchase of
Purchased Assets hereunder is not characterized as a sale but
rather as a collateral transfer for security (or the transactions
contemplated hereby are characterized as a financing transaction),
this Agreement creates a valid and continuing security interest (as
defined in the applicable UCC) in the Purchased Assets in favor of
the Buyer, which security interest is prior to all other security
interests, and enforceable as such as against creditors of and
purchasers from such Originator.
(k) Chief Executive Office
and Locations of Records. The location of the chief executive
office of such Originator and the offices where it keeps all of its
Receivable Files are located at the address(es) listed on
Exhibit II or such other locations of which Buyer has been
notified in accordance with Section 4.2(a) in
jurisdictions where all action required by
Section 4.2(a) has been taken and completed. Such
Originator’s Federal Employer Identification Number and State
Organizational Identification Number are correctly set forth on
Exhibit II .
(l) Deposit and
Concentration Accounts. The banks, account names and account
numbers for all existing Lock-Boxes and Lock-Box Accounts are
correctly listed on Exhibit III . Each of the Lock-Box
Accounts has been transferred into Buyer’s name. Such
Originator has not granted any Person, other than Buyer (and the
Administrator, as its pledgee) dominion and control of any Lock-Box
or Lock-Box Account, or the right to take dominion and control of
any such account at a future time or upon the occurrence of a
future event.
(m) Originator Material
Adverse Effect. Since December 31, 2005, no event has
occurred that would have an Originator Material Adverse
Effect.
(n) Names. In the five
(5) years preceding the Closing Date, such Originator has not
used any corporate names, trade names or assumed names other than
(i) the name in which it has executed this Agreement and
(ii) as listed on Exhibit II .
(o) Ownership. Jarden
owns, directly or indirectly, 100% of the issued and outstanding
equity interests of Buyer and each Originator. All such equity
interests are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and
there are no options, warrants or other rights to acquire
securities of Buyer.
(p) Not an Investment
Company. Such 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 . Such Originator has complied 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 an Originator
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
10
credit reporting, equal credit
opportunity, fair debt collection practices and privacy), and no
part of such Contract is in violation of any such law, rule or
regulation, except where such contravention or violation could not
reasonably be expected to have an Originator Material Adverse
Effect.
(r) Compliance with Credit
and Collection Policy. With regard to each Receivable, such
Originator has complied in all material respects with its Credit
and Collection Policy and the related Contract. Such Originator has
not made any change to its Credit and Collection Policy, except in
accordance with Section 9.2.3 of the Loan
Agreement.
(s) Payments to
Originator. With regard to each Receivable originated by such
Originator, the Purchase Price received, or to be received, by such
Originator constitutes, or will constitute, reasonably equivalent
value in consideration therefor. No transfer hereunder by such
Originator of any Receivable is or may be voidable under any
section of the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978 (11 U.S.C.
§§ 101 et seq . ), as
amended.
(t) Enforceability of
Contracts. As of the Purchase Date of each Receivable
originated by such Originator, each Contract with respect to such
Receivable is, on such date, effective to create, and has created,
a legally valid and binding obligation of the related Obligor to
pay the Outstanding Balance of 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 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).
(u) Accounting. The
manner in which such Originator accounts for the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement in its financial statements does not
jeopardize the characterization of the transactions contemplated
herein as being true sales.
(v) Solvency. Such
Originator is Solvent.
(w) Receivables as
Accounts . The Receivables constitute “accounts”
within the meaning of the UCC.
(x) Priority . Other
than the security interest granted to the Buyer pursuant to this
Agreement, such Originator has not pledged, assigned, sold granted
a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the Purchased
Receivables. Such Originator has not authorized the filing of and
is not aware of any financing statements against such Originator
that include a description of collateral covering the Purchased
Receivables other than any financing statement (i) relating to
the security interest granted to Administrator (for the benefit of
the Secured Parties), hereunder or under the Existing Agreement, or
(ii) that has been terminated. Such Originator is not aware of
any judgment or tax lien filings against such
Originator.
