In consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants hereinafter 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

Section 1.1           Definitions. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to them in Section 1 of Annex A to this Agreement.

 

Section 1.2           Rules of Construction. For purposes of this Agreement, the rules of construction set forth in Section 2 of Annex A shall govern. All Annexes, Exhibits and Schedules hereto, are incorporated herein by reference and, taken together with this Agreement, shall constitute but a single agreement.

 

ARTICLE II

SALES OF CEF ASSETS

 

Section 2.1           Sale of CEF Assets. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof the Receivable Seller does hereby sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the Purchaser, without recourse (subject to the obligations herein) all of the Receivable Seller’s right, title and interest in (without duplication):

 

(i)

the Loans and all obligations of the Obligors thereunder, excluding amounts received thereunder prior to or on the Cut-off Date;

 

(ii)

the Related Security and any Collections and additional monies received under such Loans, unless related to amounts due in respect of the Loans prior to or on the Cut-off Date;

Receivables Sale Agreement

 

 

(b)          Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the SUBI Seller hereby sells, transfers, assigns, sets over and otherwise conveys to the Purchaser without recourse (subject to the obligations herein) all the SUBI Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Series 2013-2 SUBI Certificate and the Series 2013-2 SUBI including, but not limited to, all of the SUBI Seller’s beneficial interest rights in the Leases identified on Schedule II hereto, the related Equipment, the related Receivable Files and all Collections thereunder from but excluding the Cut-off Date, but excluding any Disposition Excess (collectively, the “CEF SUBI Assets,” and together with the CEF Non-SUBI Assets, the “CEF Assets”).

 

(c)          On or before the Closing Date, each Seller shall (i) indicate in its records that the relevant CEF Assets have been sold to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement by so identifying such CEF Assets with an appropriate notation and (ii) in the case of CEF Non-SUBI Assets, the Receivable Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser or its designee Receivable Files related to Loans.

 

Section 2.2          Grant of Security Interest. The parties hereto intend that the sale pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof shall constitute a purchase and sale and not a loan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 2.2, if a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any sale provided for herein constitutes a loan and not a purchase and sale, then the parties hereto intend that this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law and that the applicable Seller shall be deemed to have granted, and each Seller hereby grants, to the Purchaser a first priority lien and security interest in and to all of such Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under the CEF Assets sold and transferred by such Seller on the Closing Date, all Related Documents to which such Seller is a party and all proceeds thereof. The possession by the Purchaser of notes and such other goods, money, documents, chattel paper or certificated securities, including the Series 2013-2 SUBI Certificate, shall be deemed to be “possession by or delivery to the secured party” for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to the UCC in force in the relevant jurisdiction (including, without limitation, Section 9-313(c)(1) thereof). Notifications to Persons holding such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from Persons holding such property, shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from, bailees or agents (as applicable) of the Purchaser for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under applicable law (except that nothing in this sentence shall cause any Person to be deemed to be an agent of the Purchaser for any purpose other than for perfection of such security interest unless, and then only to the extent, expressly appointed and authorized by the Purchaser in writing).

 

Section 2.3           Sale Price. (a) As consideration for the sale of the CEF Assets pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof, the Purchaser shall pay to the applicable Seller on the Closing Date, the CEF Purchase Price for the CEF Assets sold and transferred by such Seller to the Purchaser on the Closing Date. The CEF Purchase Price for the sale of CEF Assets shall be an amount equal to the fair market value thereof as agreed upon by the Purchaser and the applicable Seller prior to such sale.

 

(b)          On the Closing Date, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, the CEF Purchase Price for the CEF Assets sold by each Seller under this Agreement shall be payable by the Purchaser in cash.

(h)          Receivables and Other CEF Assets. With respect to (i) in the case of the Receivable Seller, each Loan and the other CEF Assets sold by such Seller or (ii) with respect to the SUBI Seller, the Leases, the SUBI Equipment and the other assets included in the Series 2013-2 SUBI, in each case, on the Closing Date, such Seller represents and warrants that (i) such Receivable satisfies the criteria for an Eligible Receivable as of the Cut-off Date; (ii) immediately prior to their sale to the Purchaser, such CEF Assets were owned by such Seller or, in the case of SUBI Assets, the Titling Trust and beneficially owned by the SUBI Seller, in each case, free and clear of any Adverse Claim, and such Seller has had at all relevant times the full right, power and authority to sell, contribute, assign, transfer and pledge its interest in the related CEF Assets as contemplated under this Agreement and, upon such sale, the Purchaser will acquire valid and properly perfected title to, and the sole record in, all CEF Non-SUBI Assets and beneficial ownership interest in all the SUBI Assets, free and clear of any Adverse Claim or restrictions on transferability, and the Liens granted to the Purchaser by such Seller pursuant to Section 2.2 will at all times be fully perfected first priority Liens in and to such Receivables or, in the case of Leases, the Series 2013-2 SUBI Certificate and, in addition, following such sale, such Receivable will not be subject to any Adverse Claim as a result of any action or inaction on the part of such Seller (or any predecessor in interest); and (iii) if such Receivable is cross-collateralized with a receivable that is not a Loan or a Lease, as of the Closing Date, either (x) the repossession or exercise of other rights with respect to the related Equipment by the holder of such receivable that is not a Loan or a Lease would not materially impair the security intended to be afforded for such Receivable and result in a material adverse effect on the holders of the Notes or (y) the holder of such receivable and the Purchaser or its assigns as holder of the Receivable have entered into an intercreditor arrangement under which each holder has agreed to subordinate its respective lien and rights of enforcement against the Equipment financed by the other holder or its predecessor in interest.

Any such purported assignment, transfer, hypothecation or other conveyance by any Seller without the prior express written consent of the Purchaser shall be void.

relating to any unpaid portion of any and all recourse and indemnity obligations of such Seller to the Purchaser, due or not due, liquidated, contingent or unliquidated or any transaction or event occurring prior to such termination, or any transaction or event, the performance of which is required after the earlier to occur of the Redemption Date or Class C Maturity Date. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in any other Related Document, all undertakings, agreements, covenants, warranties and representations of or binding upon any Seller, and all rights of the Purchaser hereunder shall not terminate or expire, but rather shall survive any such termination or cancellation and shall continue in full force and effect until the earlier of (i) the Class C Maturity Date or (ii) the Redemption Date; provided, that the rights and remedies pursuant to Section 6.2(b), the indemnification and payment provisions of Article V, and the provisions of Sections 4.4(c), 6.3, 6.4(b), 6.12 and 6.15 shall be continuing and shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

Section 6.6           Amendments and Waivers. No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, or any consent to any departure therefrom by any party hereto, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by each of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns. No consent or demand in any case shall, in itself, entitle any party to any other consent or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

 

Section 6.7           GOVERNING LAW; CONSENT TO JURISDICTION; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. (a) THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OBLIGATIONS ARISING HEREUNDER SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS, INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE, BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICT OF LAWS PROVISIONS THEREOF EXCEPT SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATION LAW) AND ANY APPLICABLE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

 

(b)          EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY CONSENTS AND AGREES THAT THE STATE OR FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN IN NEW YORK CITY SHALL HAVE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION TO HEAR AND DETERMINE ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES BETWEEN THEM PERTAINING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR TO ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT; PROVIDED, THAT EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY APPEALS FROM THOSE COURTS MAY HAVE TO BE HEARD BY A COURT LOCATED OUTSIDE OF THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN IN NEW YORK CITY; PROVIDED FURTHER, THAT NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED OR OPERATE TO PRECLUDE THE PURCHASER

 

12

Receivables Sale Agreement

 

 

FROM BRINGING SUIT OR TAKING OTHER LEGAL ACTION IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION TO REALIZE ON THE CEF ASSETS OR ANY SECURITY FOR THE OBLIGATIONS OF ANY SELLER ARISING HEREUNDER OR TO ENFORCE A JUDGMENT OR OTHER COURT ORDER IN FAVOR OF THE PURCHASER. EACH PARTY HERETO SUBMITS AND CONSENTS IN ADVANCE TO SUCH JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION OR SUIT COMMENCED IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE BASED UPON LACK OF PERSONAL JURISDICTION, IMPROPER VENUE OR FORUM NON CONVENIENS AND HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE GRANTING OF SUCH LEGAL OR EQUITABLE RELIEF AS IS DEEMED APPROPRIATE BY SUCH COURT. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF THE SUMMONS, COMPLAINT AND OTHER PROCESS ISSUED IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR SUIT AND AGREES THAT SERVICE OF SUCH SUMMONS, COMPLAINT AND OTHER PROCESS MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL ADDRESSED TO SUCH PARTY AT ITS ADDRESS DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 6.1 AND THAT SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE DEEMED COMPLETED UPON THE EARLIER OF SUCH PARTY’S ACTUAL RECEIPT THEREOF OR THREE (3) DAYS AFTER DEPOSIT IN THE UNITED STATES MAIL, PROPER POSTAGE PREPAID. NOTHING IN THIS SECTION SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO SERVE LEGAL PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW.

 

(c)          BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH COMPLEX FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED BY AN EXPERIENCED AND EXPERT PERSON AND THE PARTIES WISH APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS TO APPLY (RATHER THAN ARBITRATION RULES), THE PARTIES DESIRE THAT THEIR DISPUTES BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS. THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION OF THE BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF ARBITRATION, THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED TO, OR INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED AMONG THEM IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

Section 6.9           Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such

 

13

Receivables Sale Agreement

 

 

provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

 

Section 6.10         Section Titles. The section titles and table of contents contained in this Agreement are provided for ease of reference only and shall be without substantive meaning or content of any kind whatsoever and are not a part of the agreement between the parties hereto.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, there is no restriction (express or implied) on any disclosure or dissemination of the structure or tax aspects of the transaction contemplated by the Related Documents.

Section 6.13         Further Assurances. (a) Each Seller shall, at its sole cost and expense, upon request of the Purchaser, promptly and duly authorize, execute and/or deliver, as applicable, any and all further instruments and documents and take such further actions that may be necessary or desirable or that the Purchaser may request to carry out more effectively the provisions and purposes of this Agreement or to obtain the full benefits of this Agreement and of the rights and powers herein granted, including authorizing the filing of any financing or continuation statements under the UCC with respect to the ownership interests or Liens granted hereunder. Each Seller hereby authorizes the Purchaser to file any such financing or continuation statements without the signature of such Seller to the extent permitted by applicable law. A carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement or of any notice or financing statement covering the CEF Assets or any part thereof shall be sufficient as a notice or financing statement where permitted by law.

If the parties hereto agree upon the required amendments to this Agreement, then after appropriate amendments have been executed and the underlying Accounting Change with respect thereto has been implemented, any reference to

 

14

Receivables Sale Agreement

 

 

GAAP contained herein shall, only to the extent of such Accounting Change, refer to GAAP consistently applied after giving effect to the implementation of such Accounting Change. If such parties cannot agree upon the required amendments within thirty (30) days following the date of implementation of any Accounting Change, then all financial statements delivered and all standards and terms used herein shall be prepared, delivered and used without regard to the underlying Accounting Change.

Notwithstanding any provision contained herein to the contrary, if the Purchaser has not received funds which may be used to make payments hereunder as contemplated by the Related Documents, the Purchaser shall not be obligated to make any payments hereunder and any amounts which the Purchaser does not so pay hereunder shall not constitute a claim (as defined in Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code) against, or limited liability company obligation of the Purchaser for, any such amounts not paid, in each case, unless and until the Purchaser has received funds to make such payments as contemplated by the Related Documents.

 

(b)          Release of Claims.

Exhibit 4.3(f)

 

SEPARATE IDENTITY PROVISIONS

 

The Purchaser and each of the Sellers have and will continue (in each case, to the extent within its control) to maintain the Purchaser’s separate existence and identity and have and will continue to take all steps necessary to make it apparent to third parties that the Purchaser is an entity with assets and liabilities distinct from those of each Seller or any other Subsidiary or Affiliate of any Seller. In addition to the foregoing, such steps and indicia of the Purchaser’s separate identity include the following:

 

(a)          The Purchaser does and will maintain its own stationery and other business forms separate from those of any other Person (including any of the Sellers), and will conduct business in its own name except that certain Persons may act on behalf of the Purchaser as agents;

 

(b)          The Purchaser maintains and will maintain separate office space of its own as part of its operations, although such space is in a building shared with GE Capital. The corporate records, the other books and records, and the other assets of the Purchaser are and will be segregated from the respective property of each of the Sellers;

 

(c)          Each of the Sellers and the Purchaser will take certain actions to disclose publicly the Purchaser’s separate existence and the transactions contemplated hereby, including through the filing of the UCC Financing Statements. None of the Sellers or the Purchaser has concealed or will conceal from any interested party any transfers contemplated by the Related Documents;

 

(d)          The Purchaser will not have its own employees, and, as indicated, the Purchaser’s business relating to the CEF Assets may be conducted through agents. However, any allocations of direct, indirect or overhead expenses for items shared between the Purchaser, GE Capital or GE Capital Title Holding Corp. that are not included as part of the Servicing Fee are and will be made among such entities to the extent practical on the basis of actual use or value of services rendered and otherwise on a basis reasonably related to actual use or the value of services rendered;

 

(e)          Except as provided in paragraph (d) above regarding the allocation of certain shared overhead items, the Purchaser does and will pay its own operating expenses and liabilities from its own funds, except GE Capital did and will pay all expenses of the Purchaser incurred in connection with the transactions entered into pursuant to the Related Documents, including those related to the Purchaser’s organization;

 

(f)          Each of the Sellers and the Purchaser does and will maintain its assets and liabilities in such a manner that it is not costly or difficult to segregate, ascertain or otherwise identify the Purchaser’s individual assets and liabilities from those of any Seller or from those of any other Person or entity, including any other Subsidiary or Affiliate of any Seller, including the Titling Trust. Except as set forth below, the Purchaser does and will maintain its own books of account and corporate records separate from each of the Sellers or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of any of the Sellers. Monetary transactions, including those with each other, are and will continue to be properly reflected in their respective financial records. The Purchaser does not and will not commingle or pool its funds or other assets or liabilities with those of any Seller or any

 

Exh. 4.3(f)-i

Receivables Sale Agreement

 

 

Subsidiary or Affiliate of any Seller except as specifically provided in the Related Documents with respect to the temporary commingling of Collections and with respect to, if applicable, any such Person’s retention, in its capacity as agent or custodian for the Purchaser, of the books and records pertaining to the CEF Assets. However, any such agent or custodian will not generally make the books and records relating to the CEF Assets available to any of any such Person’s creditors or other interested persons of the Purchaser or any Seller. The Purchaser does not and will not maintain joint bank accounts or other depository accounts to which any Seller or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of any Seller (other than in its capacity as agent for the Purchaser, if applicable) has independent access;

 

(g)          The Purchaser will strictly observe limited liability company formalities, and each of the Sellers will strictly observe corporate formalities with respect to its dealings with the Purchaser. Specifically, no transfer of assets between any of the Sellers, on the one hand, and the Purchaser, on the other, will be made without adherence to corporate or limited liability company formalities, as applicable;

 

(h)          The transactions among the Purchaser on the one hand and the Sellers and Affiliates of the Seller, on the other, including, in the case of GE Capital, the terms governing any servicer advances and the amount and payment of the Servicing Fee, are on terms and conditions that are consistent with those of arm’s-length relationships. None of the Sellers is or will be, or holds or will hold itself out to be, responsible for the debts of the Purchaser, except as provided in the representations and warranties made by any Seller to the Purchaser relating to the CEF Assets and their prior ownership and servicing thereof. The Purchaser will not guarantee the debts of any Seller;

 

(i)          All distributions made by the Purchaser to GE Capital as its sole member shall be in accordance with applicable law;

 

(j)          Any other transactions between the Purchaser and any Seller permitted by (although not expressly provided for in) the Related Documents have been and will be fair and equitable to each of the parties, have been and will be the type of transaction that would be entered into by a prudent Person or entity, and have been and will be on terms that are at least as favorable as may be obtained from a third party Person;

 

(k)          The Purchaser is not named, and has not entered into any agreement to be named, directly or indirectly, as a direct or contingent beneficiary or loss payee on any insurance policy covering the assets of any Seller; and

 

(l)          On balance, the Purchaser has been and will be held out to the public as a separate entity apart from each Seller.
