(iii) Schedule of Receivables . The information with respect to the Related Receivables set forth in Schedule A to the related Assignment is true and correct in all material respects as of the close of business on the related Cutoff Date, and no selection procedures adverse to the Noteholder have been utilized in selecting the Related Receivables to be sold hereunder.

(v) Security Interest .

No Related Receivable or related Other Conveyed Property has been sold, transferred, assigned, or pledged by the Seller to any Person other than the Purchaser and by the Purchaser to any Person other than the Trustee. Immediately prior to each transfer and assignment herein contemplated, the Seller had good and marketable title to each Related Receivable and related Other Conveyed Property and was the sole owner thereof, free and clear of all liens, claims, encumbrances, security interests, and rights of others, and, immediately upon the transfer thereof to the Purchaser and the concurrent pledge to the Trustee under the Indenture, the Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholder shall have a valid and enforceable first priority security interest in the Collateral, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, security interests, and rights of others, and such transfer has been perfected under the UCC and all other applicable law.

(viii) Lawful Assignment . No Related Receivable has been originated in, or is subject to the laws of, any jurisdiction under which the sale, transfer, and assignment of such Related Receivable under this Agreement or pursuant to transfers of the Note shall be unlawful, void, or voidable. None of the Seller or any Affiliate thereof has entered into any agreement with any account debtor that prohibits, restricts or conditions the assignment of any portion of the Related Receivables.

Section 4.1   Duties of the Servicer . The Servicer, as agent for the Purchaser and the Noteholder shall manage, service, administer and make collections on the Receivables and the Other Conveyed Property in accordance with the Servicing Standard. In performing such duties, the Servicer shall comply with its current servicing policies and procedures, as such servicing policies and procedures may be amended from time to time, so long as such amendments will not materially adversely affect the interests of the Noteholder, or otherwise with the prior written consent of the Noteholder (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), and notice of such amendments is given to the Noteholder prior to the effectiveness thereof. The Servicer’s duties shall include collection and posting of all payments, responding to inquiries of Obligors on such Receivables, investigating delinquencies, sending payment statements to Obligors, reporting tax information to Obligors, accounting for collections, furnishing monthly and annual statements to the Trustee and the Noteholder with respect to distributions.

If in any enforcement suit or legal proceeding it shall be held that the Servicer may not enforce a Receivable on the ground that it shall not be a real party in interest or a holder entitled to enforce such Receivable, the Purchaser shall, at the Servicer’s expense and direction, take steps to enforce such Receivable, including bringing suit in its name or the name of the Noteholder.

In such event, the Backup Servicer or a successor Servicer shall be deemed to have assumed all of the outgoing Servicer’s interest therein and to have replaced the outgoing Servicer as a party to the Lockbox Agreement to the same extent as if the Lockbox Agreement had been assigned to the Backup Servicer or a successor Servicer, except that the outgoing Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations on the part of the outgoing Servicer to the Lockbox Bank under the Lockbox Agreement. The outgoing Servicer shall, upon request of the Trustee, but at the expense of the outgoing Servicer, deliver to the Backup Servicer or a successor Servicer all documents and records relating to the Lockbox Agreement and an accounting of amounts collected and held by the Lockbox Bank and otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient assignment of the Lockbox Agreement to the Backup Servicer or a successor Servicer. In the event that the Noteholder shall elect to change the identity of the Lockbox Bank, the Servicer, at its expense, shall cause the Lockbox Bank to deliver, at the direction of the Noteholder, to the Trustee or a successor Lockbox Bank, all documents and records relating to the Receivables and all amounts held (or thereafter received) by the Lockbox Bank (together with an accounting of such amounts) and shall otherwise use its best efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the Lockbox arrangements.
