None of the Buyer, the Administrative Agent or the Purchasers shall have any obligation or liability to any Obligor, customer or client of any Originators (including the obligation to perform any of the obligations of any Originator under any Receivable or Contract). No such obligation or liability is intended and none is assumed and any assumption therefor is hereby disclaimed.
     (a) In the event that the sale of the Purchased Assets pursuant to this Section 2.1 is considered to be a financing for any applicable legal purpose, each Originator shall be deemed to have granted to the Buyer, and each Originator hereby grants to the Buyer, a first priority, continuing security interest in all of such Originator’s right, title and interest in and to the Purchased Assets to secure the claims of the Buyer in and to the Purchased Assets. To secure all of each of the Originator’s obligations under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, whether now or hereafter existing, due or to become due, direct or indirect, each Originator hereby grants to the Buyer a security interest in all of such Originator’s right, title and interest now or hereafter existing in and to the Purchased Assets.

     (a) Each Originator shall, on the date hereof and as each new Receivable is originated by it, deliver to the Buyer (or the Buyer’s agent appointed pursuant to Section 2.7) all Records and evidence of the creation of each and every Receivable, including Contracts relating to each such Receivable and Related Security, and all other documentation with respect to the Purchased Assets with respect to such Originator.
     (b) Each Originator shall direct all Obligors to make all payments with respect to any Receivable originated by such Originator to the Buyer (or the Buyer’s agent appointed pursuant to Section 2.7).

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Originator hereby authorizes the Buyer to take any and all steps in the name of such Originator and on behalf of such Originator necessary or desirable, in the determination of the Buyer, to collect any and all amounts or portions thereof due under any and all Receivables, including endorsing the name of such Originator on checks and other instruments representing Collections and enforcing any such Receivable, any Related Security and the related Contract.
     (f) Any payment by an Obligor in respect of any indebtedness owed by it to any Originator shall, except as otherwise specified by such Obligor or otherwise required by contract or law, and unless otherwise instructed by the Buyer, be applied by such Originator as a Collection of any Purchased Receivable of such Obligor owed to such Originator (starting with the oldest such Receivable) to the extent of any amounts then due and payable thereunder before being applied to any other indebtedness owed to such Originator by such Obligor.
     (g) With respect to (A) the creation of the Receivables and (B) the servicing, administering and collecting of the Receivables (to the extent such Originator is appointed to

-6-

     Section 2.4 The Buyer’s Rights. (d) The Buyer (or its successors or assigns) shall retain, and use for its own benefit, the Collections and other proceeds of all Receivables, including any Finance Charges thereon, and no Originator shall have any interest of any nature in or to any such Collections or other proceeds.
     (a) The Buyer shall have no obligation to account for, to replace, to substitute or to return all or any portion of the Purchased Assets with respect to any Originator to such Originator, without regard to whether the Collections and other proceeds included in such Purchased Assets are in excess of the Purchase Price paid for such Purchased Assets.
     (b) The Buyer shall have the unrestricted right to further assign, transfer, deliver, hypothecate, subdivide or otherwise deal with all or any portion of the Purchased Assets with respect to any Originator.
     (c) The Buyer (or its successors or assigns) shall have the sole right to retain any gains or profits created by buying, selling or holding all or any portion of the Purchased Assets with respect to any Originator purchased by it hereunder.
     Section 2.5 Protection of Ownership Interest of the Buyer. Each Originator agrees that from time to time, at its expense, it will promptly execute and deliver all instruments and documents and take all action that the Buyer may request in order to perfect or protect the Buyer’s ownership interest in the Purchased Assets with respect to such Originator or to enable the Buyer to exercise or enforce any of its rights hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Originator will (i) on or prior to the date hereof (and promptly upon any changes or additions at any time and from time to time thereafter), mark its master data processing records and other books and records relating to the Purchased Assets with respect to such Originator with a legend describing the Buyer’s ownership interest therein (and the assignment by the Buyer thereof to the Assignee) and (ii) upon the request of the Buyer, (a) mark each Contract with a legend describing the Buyer’s ownership interest in the Purchased Assets with respect to such Originator (and the assignment by the Buyer thereof to the Assignee), (b) execute and file such financing or continuation statements or amendments thereto or assignments thereof as may be requested by the Buyer and (c) deliver to the Buyer or its designee all Contracts and Records (including all multiple originals of any such Contract) relating to the Purchased Assets with respect to such Originator, with any appropriate endorsement or assignment requested by the Buyer. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Buyer shall be permitted to sign and file continuation statements relating to the Purchased Assets with respect to each Originator and amendments thereto and assignments thereof without the applicable Originator’s signature. Carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement shall be sufficient as a financing statement. No Originator shall change its name, identity or corporate structure (within the meaning of Section 9-402(7) of any applicable enactment of the UCC) or relocate its chief executive office or any office or location where Records are kept unless it shall have: (i) given the Buyer and the Assignee at least fifteen (15) days prior notice thereof, (ii) delivered to the

-7-


 

Buyer and the Assignee all financing statements, instruments and other documents requested by the Buyer or the Assignee in connection with such change or relocation and (iii) if Records are relocated to an off-site data-processing or storage facility, delivered to the Buyer a direction letter executed by such Originator authorizing the Buyer and the Assignee (including successors of the Assignee) to, and directing third-party warehousemen to allow the Buyer and the Assignee to, inspect and make copies from the Records maintained at such facility. Each Originator shall at all times maintain its chief executive offices within a jurisdiction in the United States (other than the states of Florida, Louisiana, Maryland and Tennessee) and in which Article 9 of the UCC is in effect, and in the event it moves its chief executive office to a location that may charge taxes, fees, costs, expenses or other charges to perfect an interest in the Purchased Assets with respect to such Originator, such Originator shall pay all taxes, fees, costs, expenses and other charges associated with perfecting the Buyer’s ownership interest in the Purchased Assets with respect to such Originator and any other costs and expenses incurred in order to maintain the enforceability of this Agreement and the ownership interest of the Buyer in the Purchased Assets with respect to such Originator.
     Section 2.6 Contractual Payment Obligations. Notwithstanding any limitation on recourse contained in this Agreement, each Originator hereby consents and agrees as follows:
     (a) If on any day the Outstanding Balance of a Receivable originated by any Originator is either (i) reduced or cancelled as a result of any defective or rejected goods or services, any cash discount or any adjustment by such Originator or (ii) reduced or cancelled 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), such Originator hereby agrees to pay to the Buyer on such day the amount of such reduction in the Outstanding Balance or, if such Receivable is cancelled, the amount of the Outstanding Balance of such Receivable in full.
     (b) If on any day any of the representations or warranties made or deemed made by any Originator in Article III is no longer true with respect to a Receivable originated by such Originator, such Originator shall pay to the Buyer on such day the Outstanding Balance of such Receivable in full.
     Section 2.7 Servicing Agent. (e) Until the Buyer (or the Assignee pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement) gives contrary notice, the Buyer hereby appoints each Originator as its agent (and as sub-collection agent under the terms of the Receivables Purchase Agreement) with respect to the servicing, administering and collecting of the Receivables originated by such Originator, and each such Originator hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to perform in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions of the Receivables Purchase Agreement. Each Originator hereby further agrees not to voluntarily resign as agent for the Buyer in connection with such servicing, administering and collecting functions. Each of the Originators hereby acknowledges that the Buyer can replace such Originator as its agent (and sub-collection agent) at any time for any reason.
     (a) As servicing agent for the Buyer, each Originator shall take all actions necessary or advisable to collect each Receivable originated by such Originator with care and diligence and to perform all other servicing activities related to such Receivables as are required by the Collection Agent pursuant to Article II and VII of the Receivables Purchase Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Originator hereby agrees to provide such

-8-


 

reports and other information with respect to the Receivables originated by such Originator required to be furnished by the Collection Agent pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement.
     (b) In consideration for each Originator’s services pursuant to this Section 2.7, the Buyer shall pay to each Originator a cash fee of One Hundred Dollars ($100) per month payable on the Monthly Settlement Date with respect to the immediately preceding month.

     (c) Binding Effect. This Agreement and any other document signed in connection herewith constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligations of each of the Originators, enforceable against each such Originator in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or by general principles of equity.

     (e) Creation of Receivables.

Exhibit B
to
Receivables Sale Agreement
Revolving Subordinated Promissory Note
December 21, 2009
     For Value Received, BWA Receivables Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to the order of [Name of Originator], a Delaware corporation (“Lender”), at the principal office of Lender at [Insert Address], or at such other place as Lender may designate from time to time, the unpaid principal amount hereof, together with accrued interest thereon at a floating rate per annum equal to the LMIR (which rate shall not exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law), in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds, on the sixtieth (60th) day after the “Termination Date” with respect to Lender described in the Receivables Sale Agreement referred to below or, if such sixtieth (60th) day is not a Business Day, on the first Business Day thereafter (such sixtieth (60th) day or later Business Day being referred to as the “Maturity Date”). Except as otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein and defined in the Receivables Sale Agreement dated as of December 21, 2009 between Borrower and the Originators party thereto (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time the “Receivables Sale Agreement”) shall be used herein as so defined. This note is one of the “Notes” referred to in the Receivables Sale Agreement.
     1. Interest. Interest shall be computed hereunder for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a year consisting of three hundred sixty-five (365) days. All accrued interest on the principal amount of this Note will be due and payable on the twenty-fifth (25th) day of each month or, if such twenty-fifth (25th) day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, with interest accrued thereon until such next succeeding Business Day, beginning on January 25, 2010; provided, however, that on or prior to the Maturity Date, unless Lender instructs Borrower otherwise, such interest may be paid by means of an increase in the amount of the unpaid principal amount hereof by an amount equal to the interest being so paid.
     2. Principal. The principal amount of this Note shall be initially established and adjusted from time to time in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Receivables Sale Agreement (the terms and conditions of which are hereby incorporated in this Note by this reference) and the terms of this Note. Lender shall record the initial principal amount of this Note, all adjustments thereto and all payments thereof on Schedule 1 annexed hereto and made a part hereof, or on a continuation thereof which shall be attached hereto and made a part hereof, and any such recordation shall, absent manifest error, constitute prima facie evidence of the information so recorded; provided, however, that the failure to so record shall not limit the obligations of Borrower hereunder or under the Receivables Sale Agreement.
     3. Subordination. Borrower and, by its acceptance of this Note, Lender hereby acknowledge and agree that any and all payments made in respect of this Note are and shall

 


 

remain subordinate and junior in right of payment to all Aggregate Unpaids (as defined in the Receivables Purchase Agreement hereinafter described) owed to Wachovia Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent (together with its successors in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) for itself and various other purchasers from time to time party thereto (the “Purchasers” or “Senior Interest Holders”), pursuant that certain Receivables Purchase Agreement dated as of December 21, 2009 by and among Borrower, the Purchasers and the Administrative Agent, BorgWarner Inc. as collection agent (as amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Receivables Purchase Agreement”). Borrower shall, subject to the terms of this Section 3, have the right to pay all or any part of the unpaid principal amount of this Note without premium or penalty at any time; provided, that interest shall be paid on the amount repaid to and including the date of repayment.
     In the event of any dissolution, winding up, liquidation, readjustment, reorganization or other similar event relating to Borrower, whether voluntary or involuntary, partial or complete, and whether in bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership proceedings, or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or any other marshaling of the assets and liabilities of Borrower or any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of Borrower (such proceedings being herein collectively called “Bankruptcy Proceedings”), the Senior Interest shall first be paid and performed in full and in cash before the Lender shall be entitled to receive and to retain any payment or distribution in respect to this Note. In order to implement the foregoing, in accepting this Note, the Lender hereby irrevocably agrees that the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Lender or otherwise, may demand, sue for, collect, receive and receipt for any and all such payments or distributions, and file, prove and vote or consent in any such Bankruptcy Proceedings with respect to any and all claims of the Lender relating to this Note, in each case until the Senior Interests shall have been paid and performed in full and in cash.
     In the event that the Lender receives any payment or other distribution of any kind or character from Borrower or from other source whatsoever, in respect of this Note, other than as expressly permitted by the terms of this Note, such payment or other distribution shall be received for the sole benefit of the Senior Interest Holders and shall be turned over by the Lender to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Senior Interest Holders) forthwith.
     Notwithstanding any payments or distributions received by the Senior Interest Holders in respect of this Note, while any Bankruptcy Proceedings are pending the Lender shall not be subrogated to the then existing rights of the Senior Interest Holders in respect of the Senior Interests until the Senior Interests have been paid and performed in full and in cash. Upon payment in full of the Aggregate Unpaids and termination of the commitments under the Receivables Purchase Agreement (the “Final Payout Date”), the Lender shall be subrogated to the then existing rights of the Senior Interest Holders, if any.
