In consideration of the mutual agreements, provisions and covenants contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT; JOINDER OF PARTIES; REBALANCING

(a) Amendment and Restatement. This Agreement amends and restates in its entirety, as of the Closing Date, the Fourth Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement, dated as of October 29, 2007 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified prior to the date hereof, the “Original Agreement”), among the Seller, the Servicer, the Administrator, PNC, Atlantic, CACIB and Wells. Notwithstanding the amendment and restatement of the Original Agreement by this Agreement, (i) the Seller and Servicer shall continue to be liable to each of the parties to the Original Agreement or any other Indemnified Party or Affected Person (as such terms are defined in the Original Agreement) for fees and expenses which are accrued and unpaid under the Original Agreement on the date hereof and all agreements to indemnify such parties in connection with events or conditions arising or existing prior to the effective date of this Agreement, (ii) the security interest created under the Original Agreement in favor of the Administrator shall remain in full force and effect under this Agreement and (iii) all Capital and Discount outstanding or owing under the Original Agreement shall be and constitute Capital and Discount outstanding or owing under this Agreement. Upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, each reference to the Original Agreement in any other document, instrument or agreement shall mean and be a reference to this Agreement. Nothing contained herein, unless expressly herein stated to the contrary, is intended to amend, modify or otherwise affect any other instrument, document or agreement executed and/or delivered in connection with the Original Agreement.

(b) Joinder of Parties. Effective as of the date hereof, (i) each of Victory and Manhattan hereby becomes a party to this Agreement as a Conduit Purchaser hereunder with all the rights, interests, duties and obligations of a Conduit Purchaser hereunder, (ii) each of Regions, BTMU and SMBC hereby becomes a party to this Agreement as a Committed Purchaser hereunder with all the rights, interests, duties and obligations of a Committed Purchaser hereunder, (iii) Regions, as a Committed Purchaser, shall constitute the sole member of a new Purchaser Group, which does not initially include a Conduit Purchaser, and Regions hereby appoints itself as the Purchaser Agent for such Purchaser Group, (iv) BTMU, as a Committed Purchaser and Victory, as its related Conduit Purchaser, shall constitute the members of a new Purchaser Group, and BTMU and Victory hereby appoint BTMU as the Purchaser Agent for such Purchaser Group, (v) SMBC, as a Committed Purchaser, and Manhattan, as its related Conduit Purchaser, shall constitute the members of a new Purchaser Group, and SMBC and Manhattan hereby appoint SMBC Nikko as the Purchaser Agent for such Purchaser Group,

(c) Initial Purchases; Rebalancing. Concurrently herewith, the Seller is requesting that the Purchasers fund a new Purchase on the Closing Date pursuant to a Purchase Notice delivered in accordance with Section 1.2(a); provided, however, that such Purchase Notice may be delivered on the Closing Date, rather than on the Business Day preceding the Closing Date. Such Purchase Notice provides that each Purchaser Group will fund a non-ratable portion of the aggregate Purchase such that, after giving effect to such Purchase, each Purchaser Group’s outstanding Capital will be equal to its Ratable Share of the Aggregate Capital.

The parties hereto hereby consent to the joinder of Regions, Victory, BTMU, Manhattan, SMBC and SMBC Nikko as parties hereto on the terms set forth in clause (b) above, to the non-ratable funding of the foregoing initial Purchase on the terms set forth in clause (c) above, in each case, as set forth above on a one-time basis.

ARTICLE I

AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF THE PURCHASES

Section 1.1 Purchase Facility.

(a) On the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, the Seller may, from time to time before the Facility Termination Date, request that (i) the Swingline Purchaser make purchases from the Seller of, and reinvestments in, undivided percentage ownership interests with regard to the Purchased Interest pursuant to Section 1.2(c) (each such Purchase, a “Swingline Purchase”), and/or (ii) the Purchasers ratably make purchases from the Seller of, and reinvestments in, undivided percentage ownership interests with regard to the Purchased Interest. Each purchase requested by the Seller pursuant to Section 1.2(a) (each, a “Purchase”) shall be made ratably (based on Ratable Shares) by the respective Purchaser Groups, and each Purchaser Group’s Ratable Share of each Purchase shall be made and funded (i) if such Purchaser Group contains a Conduit Purchaser and such Conduit Purchaser elects (in its sole discretion) to make and fund such portion of such Purchase, by such Conduit Purchaser, or (ii) if such Purchaser Group does not contain a Conduit Purchaser or if the Conduit Purchaser in such Purchaser Group declines (in its sole discretion) to make or fund such portion of such Purchase, by the Committed Purchaser in such Purchaser Group. Subject to Section 1.4(b) concerning Reinvestments, at no time will any Conduit Purchaser have any obligation to make or fund a Purchase. Each Committed Purchaser hereby severally agrees, on the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, to make Purchases before the Facility Termination Date, equal to its Purchaser Group’s Ratable Share of each Purchase; provided, however, that (i) under no circumstances shall the Swingline Purchaser make (or be obligated to make) any Swingline Purchase if after giving effect thereto, (A) the Swingline Capital would exceed the Swingline Sub-Limit or (B) and the Aggregate Capital would (after giving effect to all Purchases and Reinvestments on such date) exceed the aggregate Commitments of all Purchaser Groups that do not include a Defaulting Purchaser and (ii) under no circumstances shall any Purchaser make (or be obligated to make) any Purchase or

 

-3-


Reinvestment (other than a Swingline Purchase) hereunder if, after giving effect to such Purchase or Reinvestment (A) the Group Capital of such Purchaser’s Purchaser Group would exceed such Purchaser Group’s Commitment, (B) the Aggregate Capital would (after giving effect to all Purchases and Reinvestments on such date) exceed the Purchase Limit or (C) the Purchased Interest would exceed 100%.

(b) The Seller may, upon 30 days’ written notice to the Administrator and each Purchaser Agent, reduce the unfunded portion of the Swingline Sub-Limit and/or the Purchase Limit in whole or in part (but not below the amount which would cause the Group Capital of any Purchaser Group to exceed its Commitment (after giving effect to such reduction)); provided that each partial reduction shall be in the amount of at least $5,000,000, or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and unless terminated in whole, the Purchase Limit shall in no event be reduced below $250,000,000. Such reduction (other than a reduction of the Swingline Sub-Limit) shall, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Seller, the Program Administrator and each Purchaser Agent be applied ratably to reduce the Commitment of each Purchaser Group.

Section 1.2 Making Purchases.

(a) Purchase Notices. Each Purchase (excluding any Reinvestment or Swingline Purchase) of undivided percentage ownership interests with regard to the Purchased Interest hereunder may be made on any day upon the Seller’s irrevocable written notice in the form of Annex B-1 (each, a “Purchase Notice”) delivered to the Administrator and each Purchaser Agent in accordance with Section 6.2 (which notice must be received by the Administrator and each Purchaser Agent before 2:00 p.m., New York City Time) at least one Business Day before the requested Purchase Date, which notice shall specify: (A) the amount requested to be paid to the Seller (such amount, which shall not be less than $500,000 (or such lesser amount as agreed to by the Administrator and the Majority Purchaser Agents) and shall be in integral multiples of $100,000, with respect to each Purchaser Group, (B) the date of such Purchase (which shall be a Business Day) and (C) the pro forma calculation of the Purchased Interest after giving effect to the increase in the Aggregate Capital. Each Swingline Purchase shall be requested and made in accordance with Section 1.2(c).

(b) Funding Purchases.

(i) Not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City Time) on the date of each Purchase (excluding any Reinvestment or Swingline Purchase) of undivided percentage ownership interests with regard to the Purchased Interest hereunder, each applicable Purchaser shall, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Exhibit II, deliver to the Administrator by wire transfer of immediately available funds at the account from time to time designated in writing by the Administrator, an amount equal to the portion of Capital relating to the undivided percentage ownership interest then being funded by such Purchaser. On the date of each Purchase (excluding any Reinvestment or Swingline Purchase), the Administrator will make available to the Seller, in same day funds at the account from time to time designated in writing by the Seller to the Administrator, the amount of Capital to be funded by all Purchasers in respect of such Purchase.

 

-4-


(ii) Unless the Administrator shall have received notice from a Purchaser or Purchaser Agent prior to the proposed date of any Purchase (excluding any Reinvestment or Swingline Purchase) that such Purchaser’s or Purchaser Agent’s Purchaser Group will not make available to the Administrator such Purchaser Group’s share of such Purchase, the Administrator may assume that such Purchaser Group has made such share available on such date in accordance with the foregoing clause (b)(i) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Seller a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Purchaser Group has not in fact made its share of the applicable Purchase available to the Administrator, then the Committed Purchaser in such Purchaser Group and the Seller severally agree to pay to the Administrator forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Seller to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrator, at (i) in the case of such Committed Purchaser, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrator in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Seller, the Base Rate. If such Committed Purchaser pays such amount to the Administrator, then such amount shall constitute such Committed Purchaser’s Capital included in such Purchase. If the Seller and such Committed Purchaser shall pay such interest to the Administrator for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrator shall promptly remit to the Seller the amount of such interest paid by the Seller for such period. Any such payment by the Seller shall be without prejudice to any claim the Seller may have against a Committed Purchaser that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrator.

(c) Swingline Purchases.

(i) Swingline Purchase Notices. If the Seller desires that the Swingline Purchaser make a Swingline Purchase on any Business Day, the Seller shall provide the Swingline Purchaser and the Administrator with prior irrevocable written notice thereof in the form of Annex B-2 (each, a “Swingline Purchase Notice”) in accordance with Section 6.2 not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Business Day. Each Swingline Purchase Notice shall specify: (A) the amount of Capital requested to be paid to the Seller (such amount, which shall not be less than $500,000 (or such lesser amount as agreed to by the Swingline Purchaser) and shall be in integral multiples of $100,000, (B) the date of such Swingline Purchase (which shall be a Business Day and which may be the same Business Day on which such Swingline Purchase Notice is delivered) and (C) the pro forma calculation of the Purchased Interest after giving effect to the increase in the Aggregate Capital.

(ii) Funding Swingline Purchases. On the applicable Purchase Date for such Swingline Purchase, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Exhibit II, the Swingline Purchaser shall make available to the Seller in same day funds, at the account from time to time designated in writing by the Seller to the Swingline Purchaser, an amount equal to the Capital requested by the Seller pursuant to the related Swingline Purchase Notice. Only one (1) Swingline Purchase Notice may be outstanding for any Business Day.

 

-5-


(iii) Swingline Settlements. Each of the Purchasers acknowledges that the Swingline Purchaser will make Swingline Purchases on same-day notice to facilitate the administration of the facility evidenced by this Agreement, but that the Swingline Purchaser will do so based on its expectation that not later than the next succeeding Swingline Settlement Date (or, if sooner, the Facility Termination Date), each other Purchaser will purchase its Ratable Share of the aggregate outstanding Swingline Capital at par. Accordingly, not later than 9:00 a.m. (New York City time) on each Swingline Settlement Date and on the Facility Termination Date, if any Swingline Capital is then outstanding, the Swingline Purchaser shall send a written statement (a “Swingline Statement”) to each of the other Purchasers setting forth the amount of the outstanding Swingline Capital and each such Purchaser Group’s Ratable Share thereof (such Purchaser Group’s “Swingline Settlement Amount”). Not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day of delivery of each Swingline Statement, each Committed Purchaser shall (or shall cause its related Conduit Purchaser to) purchase from the Swingline Purchaser an amount of the outstanding Swingline Capital equal to its Purchaser Group’s Swingline Settlement Amount by paying to the Swingline Purchaser in immediately available funds an amount equal to such Purchaser’s Swingline Settlement Amount; provided that the Committed Purchaser that is also the Swingline Purchaser shall be automatically deemed to have made such payment in its capacity as a Committed Purchaser. Upon payment to the Swingline Purchaser of the Swingline Settlement Amount, the paying Purchaser’s aggregate outstanding Capital shall be increased by the amount of such payment and the Swingline Purchaser’s aggregate outstanding Capital shall be reduced by the amount of such payment. All Discount (and Fees) accrued on or with respect to the Swingline Capital prior to such payment shall remain payable to the Swingline Purchaser for its own account.

(iv) Failure to Settle. If any Purchaser Group fails to pay its Swingline Settlement Amount in full to the Swingline Purchaser by the time and date required by Section 1.2(c)(iii), (i) the unpaid amount of such Swingline Settlement Amount shall bear interest, payable by the Committed Purchaser in such Purchaser Group to the Swingline Purchaser upon demand, at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Rate, and if not paid within three (3) Business Days of the Swingline Purchaser’s demand, at a rate per annum equal to the greater of (x) 3.0% per annum above the Base Rate in effect on such day and (y) the “Alternate Rate” as calculated in clause (a) or (b) of the definition thereof, as applicable, and (ii) the Swingline Purchaser may cancel or suspend availability of the Swingline Sub-Limit and shall have no obligation to make additional Swingline Purchasers. The Swingline Purchaser (whether individually or as Administrator) shall not be obligated to transfer to any Purchaser in such a defaulting Purchaser Group any payments received by it for the benefit of such defaulting Purchaser Group, nor shall the members of such a defaulting Purchaser Group be entitled to the sharing of any payments hereunder (including any Capital, Discount, Fees or other amounts). Amounts payable to such a defaulting Purchaser Group shall instead be paid to the Swingline Purchaser in reduction of such defaulting Purchaser Group’s obligation to pay its Swingline

 

-6-


Settlement Amount or interest thereon. This Section shall remain effective with respect to a defaulting Purchaser Group until such default is cured. The operation of this Section shall not be construed to increase or otherwise affect the Commitment of any Purchaser, or relieve or excuse the performance by the Seller of its duties and obligations hereunder.

(d) Sale of Undivided Interests. Effective on the date of each Purchase pursuant to Section 1.2(b), each Swingline Purchase pursuant to Section 1.2(c) and each Reinvestment pursuant to Section 1.4, the Seller hereby sells and assigns to the Administrator for the benefit of the Purchasers (ratably, according to each such Purchaser’s Capital) an undivided percentage ownership interest in: (i) each Pool Receivable then existing, (ii) all Related Security with respect to such Pool Receivables, and (iii) all Collections with respect to, and other proceeds of, such Pool Receivables and Related Security.

(e) Grant of Security Interest. To secure all of the Seller’s obligations (monetary or otherwise) under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, whether now or hereafter existing or arising, due or to become due, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, the Seller hereby grants to the Administrator, for the benefit of the Purchasers, a security interest in all of the Seller’s right, title and interest (including any undivided interest of the Seller) in, to and under all of the following, whether now or hereafter owned, existing or arising: (i) all Pool Receivables, (ii) all Related Security with respect to such Pool Receivables, (iii) all Collections with respect to such Pool Receivables, (iv) the Collection Accounts, the Lock-Boxes and all amounts on deposit therein, and all certificates and instruments, if any, from time to time evidencing such Collection Accounts, the Lock-Boxes and amounts on deposit therein, (v) all rights (but none of the obligations) of the Seller under the Sale Agreement and the Sub-Originator Sale Agreement (as assignee of Comdata Inc.) and (vi) all proceeds of, and all amounts received or receivable under any or all of, the foregoing (collectively, the “Pool Assets”). The Administrator, for the benefit of the Purchasers, shall have, with respect to the Pool Assets, and in addition to all the other rights and remedies available to the Administrator and the Purchasers, all the rights and remedies of a secured party under any applicable UCC. The Seller hereby authorizes the Administrator (for the benefit of the Purchasers) to file financing statements in each jurisdiction the Administrator deems necessary and appropriate to perfect its security interest in the Pool Assets, describing the collateral covered thereby as “all of the debtor’s personal property or assets” or words to that effect, notwithstanding that such wording may be broader in scope than the collateral described in this Agreement. Except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Transaction Documents, the Administrator shall not agree in writing to release all or a material portion of the Pool Assets from its security interest created hereunder without the consent of all Purchaser Agents.

(f) Addition of Purchasers. The Seller may, with the written consent of the Administrator and each Purchaser Agent, add additional Persons as Purchasers (either to an existing Purchaser Group or by creating new Purchaser Groups) or cause an existing Purchaser to increase its Commitment in connection with a corresponding increase in the Purchase Limit; provided, however, that the Commitment of any Purchaser may only be increased with the prior written consent of such Purchaser. Each new Purchaser (or Purchaser Group) shall become a party hereto, by executing and delivering to the Administrator and the Seller, an Assumption Agreement in the form of Annex C hereto (which Assumption Agreement shall, in the case of any new Purchaser or Purchasers, be executed by each Person in such new Purchaser’s Purchaser Group).

 

-7-


(g) Several Obligations. Each Committed Purchaser’s obligation hereunder shall be several, such that the failure of any Committed Purchaser to make a payment in connection with any Purchase hereunder shall not relieve any other Committed Purchaser of its obligation hereunder to make payment for any Purchase. If any Committed Purchaser becomes a Defaulting Purchaser, the Seller may, at its sole expense and effort, upon written notice to such Committed Purchaser, its Purchaser Agent and the Administrator, require such Defaulting Purchaser and its related Conduit Purchaser (if any) to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to all applicable transfer restrictions), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to another appropriate financial institution that shall assume such Defaulting Purchaser’s and (if applicable) Conduit Purchaser’s obligations (which assignee may be an existing Purchaser); provided that (A) the Seller shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrator and the Majority Purchaser Agents, which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld, (B) such Defaulting Purchaser and the other members of its Purchaser Group shall have received payment of an amount equal to their outstanding Capital and, if applicable, accrued Discount and Fees thereon and all other amounts then owing to them hereunder from the assignee or the Seller and (C) for the avoidance of doubt, no Purchaser shall have any obligation to accept any such assignment or delegation from a Defaulting Purchaser or its related Conduit Purchaser or to fund any Defaulting Purchaser’s share of any Purchase, in either case, except as otherwise agreed in writing by such Purchaser in its sole discretion. A Defaulting Purchaser shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver or consent by such Defaulting Purchaser or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Seller to require such assignment and delegation have ceased to apply.

Section 1.3 Purchased Interest Computation. The Purchased Interest shall be initially computed on the Closing Date. Thereafter, until the Facility Termination Date, the Purchased Interest shall be automatically recomputed (or deemed to be recomputed) on each Business Day; provided, however, that on each Termination Day, the Purchased Interest shall be deemed to be not less than 100% for all purposes hereof. The Purchased Interest shall become zero on the Final Payout Date.

Section 1.4 Settlement Procedures.

(a) The collection of the Pool Receivables shall be administered by the Servicer in accordance with this Agreement. The Seller shall provide to the Servicer on a timely basis all information needed for such administration, including notice of the occurrence of any Termination Day and current computations of the Purchased Interest.

(b) The Servicer shall, on each day on which Collections of Pool Receivables are received (or deemed received) by the Seller or the Servicer:

(i) set aside and hold in trust (and shall, at the request of the Administrator, segregate in a separate account approved by the Administrator) for the benefit of each

 

-8-


Purchaser Group, out of such Collections, (x) an amount equal to the Aggregate Discount accrued through such day for each Portion of Capital and not previously set aside, (y) an amount equal to the fees set forth in each Purchaser Group Fee Letter accrued and unpaid through such day, and (z) to the extent funds are available therefor, an amount equal to the aggregate of each Purchasers’ Share of the Servicing Fee accrued through such day and not previously set aside;

(ii) subject to Section 1.4(f), if such day is not a Termination Day, remit to the Seller, ratably, on behalf of each Purchaser Group, the remainder of such Collections. Such remainder shall, to the extent representing a return on the Aggregate Capital, ratably, according to each Purchaser’s Capital, be automatically reinvested in Pool Receivables, and in the Related Security, Collections and other proceeds with respect thereto (each such reinvestment, a “Reinvestment,” and “Reinvest” shall have the correlative meaning); provided, however, that if the Purchased Interest would exceed 100%, then the Servicer shall not Reinvest, but shall set aside and hold in trust for the benefit of the Purchasers (and shall, at the request of the Administrator, segregate in a separate account approved by the Administrator) a portion of such Collections that, together with the other Collections set aside pursuant to this paragraph, shall equal the amount necessary to reduce the Purchased Interest to 100%, which amount shall be deposited ratably to each Purchaser Agent’s account (for the benefit of its related Purchasers and to be applied in reduction of their respective Capital) on the next Weekly Settlement Date in accordance with Section 1.4(c); provided, further, that if the Facility Termination Date has been extended pursuant to Section 1.11 and any Purchaser (or its Purchaser Agent) has provided notice (an “Exiting Notice”) to the Administrator, the Seller and the Servicer of such Purchaser’s refusal, pursuant to Section 1.11, to extend its (or its related Committed Purchaser’s) Commitment hereunder (an “Exiting Purchaser”) then such Collections shall not be Reinvested and shall instead be held in trust for the benefit of such Purchaser and applied in accordance with clause (iii) below;

(iii) if such day is a Termination Day (or any day following the provision of an Exiting Notice), set aside, segregate and hold in trust (and shall, at the request of the Administrator, segregate in a separate account approved by the Administrator) for the benefit of each Purchaser Group the entire remainder of the Collections (or in the case of an Exiting Purchaser an amount equal to such Purchaser’s ratable share of such Collections based on its Capital; provided, that solely for the purpose of determining such Purchaser’s ratable share of such Collections, such Purchaser’s Capital shall be deemed to remain constant from the date of the provision of an Exiting Notice until the date such Purchaser’s Capital has been paid in full; it being understood that if such day is also a Termination Day, such Exiting Purchaser’s Capital shall be recalculated taking into account amounts received by such Purchaser in respect of this parenthetical and thereafter Collections shall be set aside for such Purchaser ratably in respect of its Capital (as recalculated)); provided, that if amounts are set aside and held in trust on any Termination Day of the type described in clause (a) of the definition of “Termination Day” (or any day following the provision of an Exiting Notice) and, thereafter, the conditions set forth in Section 2 of Exhibit II are satisfied or waived by the Administrator and the Majority Purchaser Agents (or in the case of an Exiting Notice, such Exiting

 

-9-


Notice has been revoked by the related Exiting Purchaser and written notice thereof has been provided by such Exiting Purchaser or its Purchaser Agent to the Administrator, the Seller and the Servicer), such previously set-aside amounts shall, to the extent representing a return on Aggregate Capital (or the Capital of the Exiting Purchaser) and ratably in accordance with each Purchaser’s Capital, be Reinvested in accordance with clause (ii) on the day of such subsequent satisfaction or waiver of conditions or revocation of such Exiting Notice; and

(iv) release to the Seller (subject to Section 1.4(f)) for its own account any Collections in excess of: (x) amounts required to be Reinvested in accordance with clause (ii) or the proviso to clause (iii) plus (y) the amounts that are required to be set aside pursuant to clause (i), the proviso to clause (ii) and clause (iii) plus (z) the Seller’s Share of the Servicing Fee accrued and unpaid through such day and all reasonable and appropriate out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Servicer for servicing, collecting and administering the Pool Receivables.

(c) The Servicer shall, in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 1.4(d), below, deposit into each applicable Purchaser’s account (or such other account designated by such applicable Purchaser or its Purchaser Agent), (x) on each Monthly Settlement Date in the case of Collections held for each Purchaser with respect to such Purchaser’s Portion(s) of Capital pursuant to clause (b)(i) and (y) on each Weekly Settlement Date, in the case of Collections then held for such Purchaser pursuant to clauses (b)(ii) and (iii) of Section 1.4; provided, that if FleetCor or an Affiliate thereof is the Servicer, such day is not a Termination Day and the Administrator has not notified FleetCor (or such Affiliate) that such right is revoked, FleetCor (or such Affiliate) may retain the portion of the Collections set aside pursuant to clause (b)(i) that represents the aggregate of each Purchasers’ Share of the Servicing Fee.

(d) The Servicer shall distribute the amounts described (and at the times set forth) in Section 1.4(c), as follows:

(i) if such distribution occurs on a day that is not a Termination Day and the Purchased Interest does not exceed 100%, first to each Purchaser Agent (or, in the case of interest accrued and payable by the Seller pursuant to Section 1.2(b)(ii), to the Administrator) ratably according to the Discount and Fees (other than Servicing Fees) accrued during such Yield Period (for the benefit of the relevant Purchasers within such Purchaser Agent’s Purchaser Group) in payment in full of all accrued Discount with respect to each Portion of Capital maintained by such Purchasers and accrued Fees (other than Servicing Fees); it being understood and agreed that each Purchaser Agent shall distribute such amounts to the Purchasers within its Purchaser Group ratably according to Discount and accrued Fees, and second, if the Servicer has set aside amounts in respect of the Servicing Fee pursuant to clause (b)(i) and has not retained such amounts pursuant to clause (c) above, to the Servicer’s own account (payable in arrears on each Monthly Settlement Date) in payment in full of the aggregate of the Purchasers’ Share of accrued Servicing Fees so set aside, and

 

-10-


(ii) if such distribution occurs on a Termination Day or on a day when the Purchased Interest exceeds 100%, first if FleetCor or an Affiliate thereof is not the Servicer, to the Servicer’s own account in payment in full of the Purchasers’ Share of all accrued Servicing Fees, second to each Purchaser Agent (or, in the case of interest accrued and payable by the Seller pursuant to Section 1.2(b)(ii), to the Administrator) ratably (based on the aggregate accrued and unpaid Discount and Fees (other than Servicing Fees) payable to all Purchasers at such time) (for the benefit of the relevant Purchasers within such Purchaser Agent’s Purchaser Group) in payment in full of all accrued Discount with respect to each Portion of Capital funded or maintained by the Purchasers within such Purchaser Agent’s Purchaser Group and accrued Fees; it being understood and agreed that each Purchaser Agent shall distribute such amounts to the Purchasers within its Purchaser Group ratably according to Discount and accrued Fees, third to the Administrator in payment in full of the Aggregate Capital (or, if such day is not a Termination Day, the amount necessary to reduce the Purchased Interest to 100%) for distribution by the Administrator to the Purchaser Agents in accordance with Section 1.6, fourth, if the Aggregate Capital and accrued Aggregate Discount with respect to each Portion of Capital for all Purchaser Groups and all accrued Fees (other than Servicing Fees) have been reduced to zero, and the Purchasers’ Share of all accrued Servicing Fees payable to the Servicer (if other than FleetCor or an Affiliate thereof) have been paid in full, to each Purchaser Group ratably, based on the amounts payable to each (for the benefit of the Purchasers within such Purchaser Group), the Administrator and any other Indemnified Party or Affected Person in payment in full of any other amounts owed thereto by the Seller or Servicer hereunder and, fifth, to the Servicer’s own account (if the Servicer is FleetCor or an Affiliate thereof) in payment in full of the aggregate of the Purchasers’ Share of all accrued Servicing Fees.

After the Aggregate Capital, Aggregate Discount, fees payable pursuant to each Purchaser Group Fee Letter and Servicing Fees with respect to the Purchased Interest, and any other amounts payable by the Seller and the Servicer to each Purchaser Group, the Administrator or any other Indemnified Party or Affected Person hereunder, have been paid in full, all additional Collections with respect to the Purchased Interest shall be paid to the Seller for its own account.

(e) For the purposes of this Section 1.4:

(i) if on any day the Outstanding Balance of any Pool Receivable is reduced or adjusted as a result of any defective, rejected, returned, repossessed or foreclosed goods or services, or any revision, cancellation, allowance, discount or other adjustment made by the Seller or any Affiliate of the Seller, or the Servicer or any Affiliate of the Servicer or any other Person (including, if applicable, the originator of such Receivable), or any setoff or dispute between the Seller or any Affiliate of the Seller, or the Servicer or any Affiliate of the Servicer and an Obligor, the Seller shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection of such Pool Receivable in the amount of such reduction or adjustment and shall immediately pay any and all such amounts in respect thereof to an Eligible Collection Account for the benefit of the Purchasers and their assigns and for application pursuant to Section 1.4;

 

-11-


(ii) if on any day any of the representations or warranties in Sections 1(j) or 3(a) of Exhibit III is not true with respect to any Pool Receivable, the Seller shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection of such Pool Receivable in full and shall immediately pay any and all such amounts to an Eligible Collection Account (or as otherwise directed by the Administrator at such time) for the benefit of the Purchasers and their assigns and for application pursuant to this Section 1.4 (Collections deemed to have been received pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) of this paragraph (e) are hereinafter referred to as “Deemed Collections”);

(iii) except as otherwise required by applicable law or the relevant Contract, all Collections received from an Obligor of any Receivable shall be applied to the Receivables of such Obligor in the order of the age of such Receivables, starting with the oldest such Receivable, unless such Obligor designates in writing its payment for application to specific Receivables; and

(iv) if and to the extent the Administrator, any Purchaser Agent or any Purchaser shall be required for any reason to pay over to an Obligor (or any trustee, receiver, custodian or similar official in any Insolvency Proceeding) any amount received by it hereunder, such amount shall be deemed not to have been so received by such Person but rather to have been retained by the Seller and, accordingly, such Person shall have a claim against the Seller for such amount, payable when and to the extent that any distribution from or on behalf of such Obligor is made in respect thereof.

(f) If at any time the Seller shall wish to cause the reduction of Aggregate Capital (but not to commence the liquidation, or reduction to zero, of the entire Aggregate Capital) the Seller may do so as follows:

(i) the Seller shall give the Administrator, each Purchaser Agent and the Servicer written notice in the form of Annex F (each, a “Paydown Notice”) (A) at least one Business Day no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) prior to the date of such reduction for any reduction of the Aggregate Capital less than or equal to $50,000,000 (or such greater amount as agreed to by the Administrator and the Majority Purchaser Agents) and (B) at least 3 Business Days prior to the date of such reduction for any reduction of the Aggregate Capital greater than $50,000,000, and each such Paydown Notice shall include, among other things, the amount of such proposed reduction and the proposed date on which such reduction will commence;

(ii) on the proposed date of commencement of such reduction and on each day thereafter, the Servicer shall cause Collections not to be Reinvested until the amount thereof not so Reinvested shall equal the desired amount of reduction; and

(iii) the Servicer shall hold such Collections in trust for the benefit of each Purchaser ratably according to its Capital, for payment to the Administrator (for the account of such Purchaser) on the next Weekly Settlement Date with respect to any Portions of Capital maintained by such Purchaser immediately following the related current Yield Period, and the Aggregate Capital (together with the Capital of any related Purchaser) shall be deemed reduced in the amount to be paid to the Administrator (for the account of such Purchaser) only when in fact finally so paid;

 

-12-


provided, that:

(A) the amount of any such reduction shall be not less than $100,000 for each Purchaser Group and shall be an integral multiple of $100,000, and the entire Aggregate Capital after giving effect to such reduction shall be not less than $50,000,000; and

(B) with respect to any Portion of Capital, the Seller shall choose a reduction amount, and the date of commencement thereof, so that to the extent practicable such reduction shall commence and conclude in the same Yield Period.

Section 1.5 Fees. The Seller shall pay to each Purchaser Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers in the related Purchaser Group in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 1.4(d) certain fees in the amounts and on the dates set forth in one or more fee letter agreements, dated the Closing Date (or dated the date any such Purchaser and member of its related Purchaser Group become a party hereto pursuant to an Assumption Agreement, a Transfer Supplement or otherwise), among the Servicer, the Seller, and the applicable Purchaser Agent, respectively, (as any such fee letter agreement may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, each, a “Purchaser Group Fee Letter”) and each of the Purchaser Group Fee Letters may be referred to collectively as, the “Fee Letters”).

Section 1.6 Payments and Computations, Etc.

(a) All amounts to be paid or deposited by the Seller or the Servicer hereunder shall be made without reduction for offset or counterclaim and shall be paid or deposited no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City Time) on the day when due in same day funds (i) with respect to any payment other than in reduction of Capital, to the account for each Purchaser maintained by the applicable Purchaser Agent (or such other account as may be designated from time to time by such Purchaser Agent to the Seller and the Servicer) and (ii) with respect to any payment in reduction of Capital, to the account specified by the Administrator. All amounts received after 2:00 p.m. (New York City Time) will be deemed to have been received on the next Business Day.

(b) The Administrator shall distribute any payments received by it hereunder in reduction of Capital for the account of any Purchaser to such Purchaser’s Purchaser Agent promptly following the Administrator’s receipt thereof. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Seller prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrator for the account of the Purchasers hereunder that the Seller (or the Servicer on its behalf) will not make such payment (including because Collections are not available therefor), the Administrator may assume that the Seller has made or will make such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Purchaser Agents the amount due. In such event, if the Seller (or the Servicer on its behalf) has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Committed Purchasers severally agrees to repay to the Administrator forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to the members of such Committed Purchaser’s Purchaser Group, with interest

 

-13-


thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. Each Purchaser Agent shall distribute any payments received by it hereunder in reduction of Capital for the account of the Purchasers in its Purchaser Group promptly following such Purchaser Agent’s receipt thereof, ratably in accordance with such Purchasers’ outstanding Capital. If the Seller and any Committed Purchaser shall pay such interest to the Administrator for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrator shall promptly remit to such Committed Purchaser the amount of such interest paid by such Committed Purchaser for such period. Any such payment by such Committed Purchaser shall be without prejudice to any claim such Committed may have against the Seller.

(c) The Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, shall, to the extent permitted by law, pay interest on any amount not paid or deposited by the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, when due hereunder, at an interest rate equal to 2.0% per annum above the Base Rate, payable on demand (in the case of payments by the Seller, subject to the priorities of payment set forth in Section 1.4).

(d) All computations of interest under clause (b) and all computations of Discount, Fees and other amounts hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 (or 365 or 366, as applicable, with respect to Discount or other amounts calculated by reference to the Base Rate) days for the actual number of days elapsed. Whenever any payment or deposit to be made hereunder shall be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment or deposit shall be made on the next Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of such payment or deposit.

Section 1.7 Increased Costs.

(a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

(A) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (other than reserve otherwise included in the determination of the Euro-Rate or LMIR hereunder), special deposit, liquidity, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, the Administrator, any Purchaser, any Purchaser Agent, any Program Support Provider, any of their respective Affiliates or any of their respective holding companies (including bank holding companies) (each an “Affected Person”);

(B) subject any Affected Person to any Taxes (excluding any Taxes that give rise to the payment of additional amounts under Section 1.9) on its loans, loan principal, commitments or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(C) impose on any Affected Person any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) (A) affecting the Pool Assets, this Agreement, any other Transaction Document, any Program Support Agreement, any Purchase or any participation therein or (B) affecting its obligations or rights to make Purchases;

 

-14-


and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Affected Person of (A) acting as the Administrator, a Purchaser Agent or a Purchaser hereunder or as a Program Support Provider with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, (B) funding or maintaining any Purchase or Reinvestment or (C) maintaining its obligation to fund or maintain any Purchase or Reinvestment, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Affected Person hereunder, then, upon request of such Affected Person (or its Purchaser Agent), the Seller shall pay to such Affected Person such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Person for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) Capital Requirements. If any Affected Person determines that any Change in Law affecting such Affected Person or any lending office of such Affected Person regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Affected Person’s capital as a consequence of (A) this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, (B) the commitments of such Affected Person hereunder or under any related Program Support Agreement, (C) the Purchases or Reinvestments made by such Affected Person or (D) any Capital, to a level below that which such Affected Person could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Affected Person’s policies with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time, upon request of such Affected Person (or its Purchaser Agent), the Seller will pay to such Affected Person such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Person for any such reduction suffered.

(c) Adoption of Changes in Law. The Seller acknowledges that any Affected Person may institute measures in anticipation of a Change in Law (including, without limitation, the imposition of internal charges on such Affected Person’s interests or obligations under any Transaction Document or Program Support Agreement), and may commence allocating charges to or seeking compensation from the Seller under this Section 1.7 in connection with such measures, in advance of the effective date of such Change in Law, and the Seller agrees to pay such charges or compensation to such Affected Person, following demand therefor in accordance with the terms of this Section 1.7, without regard to whether such effective date has occurred.

(d) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of an Affected Person (or its Purchaser Agent on its behalf) setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Affected Person or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in clause (a), (b) or (c) of this Section and delivered to the Seller, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Seller shall, subject to the priorities of payment set forth in Section 1.4, pay such Affected Person the amount shown as due on any such certificate on the first Weekly Settlement Date occurring after the Seller’s receipt of such certificate.

(e) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Affected Person to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Affected Person’s right to demand such compensation; provided, however, that if such Affected Party fails to make such demand within 180 days after it obtains actual knowledge of such an event, such Affected Party shall, with respect to amounts payable pursuant to this Section 1.7, only be entitled to payment under this Section 1.7 for amounts or losses incurred from and after the date 180 days prior to the date that such Affected Party does give such demand.

 

-15-


Section 1.8 Funding Losses.

(a) The Seller will compensate each Purchaser in accordance with the terms of this Section 1.8 for all losses, expenses and liabilities (including any loss, expense or liability incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Purchaser in order to fund or maintain any Portion of Capital hereunder) as a result of (i) any repayment (in whole or in part) of any Portion of Capital of such Purchaser on any day other than a Monthly Settlement Date or Weekly Settlement Date or (ii) any Purchase or Swingline Purchase not being completed by the Seller in accordance with its request therefor pursuant to Section 1.2. Such losses, expenses and liabilities will include the amount, if any, by which (A) the additional Yield that would have accrued had such repayment or failure to Purchase not have occurred, exceeds (B) the income, if any, received by the applicable Purchaser.

(b) A certificate of a Purchaser (or its related Purchaser Agent) setting forth in reasonable detail the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Purchaser as specified in Section 1.8(a) and delivered to the Seller and the Administrator, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Seller shall pay such Purchaser’s related Purchaser Agent (for the account of such Purchaser) the amount shown as due on any such certificate on demand but subject to the priorities for payments set forth in Section 1.4.

Section 1.9 Taxes. The Seller agrees that:

(a) (i) Any and all payments by the Seller under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all current or future taxes, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding (A) net income, branch profits or franchise taxes, in each case, (x) imposed on the Person receiving such payment by the Seller hereunder by the jurisdiction under whose laws such Person is organized or in which such Person’s principal office is located or any political subdivision thereof or (y) that are Other Connection Taxes and (B) any U.S. Federal withholding taxes imposed under FATCA (all such nonexcluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If the Seller shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Purchaser, any Purchaser Agent, any Program Support Provider or the Administrator, then the sum payable shall be increased by the amount necessary to yield to such Person (after payment of all Taxes) an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made.

(ii) Whenever any Taxes are payable by the Seller, as promptly as possible thereafter, the Seller shall send to the Administrator for its own account or for the account of any Purchaser, any Purchaser Agent or any Program Support Provider, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt showing payment thereof or such other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrator. If the Seller fails to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Administrator the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Seller shall indemnify the Administrator and/or any other Affected Person, as applicable, for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by such party as a result of any such failure.

 

-16-


(b) (i) Each Purchaser that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to Seller and Administrator on or prior to the date on which such Purchaser becomes a Purchaser under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Seller or Administrator), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Purchaser is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax.

(ii) Each Purchaser that is not a U.S. Person (a “Foreign Purchaser”) as to which payments to be made under this Agreement are exempt from or subject to a reduced rate of United States withholding tax under an applicable statute or tax treaty shall provide to Seller and Administrator a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-8ECI, Form W-8BEN, Form W-8BEN-E or other applicable form, certificate or document prescribed by the IRS or the United States certifying that payments hereunder to such Foreign Purchaser are entitled to such exemption or reduction in rate (a “Certificate of Withholding”). Any non-U.S. Person that seeks to become a Purchaser under this Agreement shall provide a Certificate of Withholding to Seller and Administrator prior to becoming a Purchaser hereunder. No non-U.S. Person may become a Purchaser hereunder if such Person fails to deliver a Certificate of Withholding in advance of becoming a Purchaser. If the Certificate of Withholding provided by a Purchaser at the time such Purchaser first becomes a party to this Agreement indicates a United States withholding tax rate in excess of zero, withholding taxes at such rate shall be considered excluded from Taxes and, accordingly, the Seller shall not be obligated to pay any additional amounts to such Purchaser, or to indemnify such Purchaser, in respect of such withholding taxes under this Agreement. Each Purchaser shall promptly notify Seller that it is a Foreign Purchaser and shall also promptly notify Seller of any change in its funding office.

(c) Seller shall not be required to pay any additional amounts to any Purchaser in respect of United States withholding tax pursuant to paragraph (a) above if the obligation to pay such additional amounts would not have arisen but for a failure by such Purchaser to comply with the provisions of paragraph (b) above for any reason (including by reason of a change in circumstances that renders the Purchaser unable to so qualify) other than (i) a change in applicable law, regulation or official interpretation thereof or (ii) an amendment, modification or revocation of any applicable tax treaty or a change in official position regarding the application or interpretation thereof, in each case after the Closing Date (or, if later, the date on which such Purchaser became a Purchaser hereunder).

(d) If, solely as a result of an event in subparagraph (i) or (ii) of paragraph (c) after the Closing Date, a Purchaser (i) is unable to provide to Seller a Certificate of Withholding or (ii) makes any payment or becomes liable to make any payment on account of any Taxes with respect to payments by Seller hereunder, Seller may, at its option, continue to make payments to such Purchaser under the terms of this Agreement, which payments shall be made in accordance with paragraph (a) above. If Seller exercises its option under this paragraph (d), the applicable Purchaser agrees to take such steps as reasonably may be available to it under applicable tax laws

 

-17-


and any applicable tax treaty or convention to obtain an exemption from, or reduction (to the lowest applicable rate) of, such Taxes, except to the extent that taking such a step would, in the sole determination of such Purchaser, be materially disadvantageous to such Purchaser.

(e) If a payment made to a Purchaser hereunder would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Purchaser were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Purchaser shall deliver to Seller and Administrator at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Seller or Administrator such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Seller or Administrator as may be necessary for Seller or Administrator to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Purchaser has complied with such Purchaser’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.

(f) Each Purchaser agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered under this Section 1.9 expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Seller and Administrator in writing of its legal inability to do so.

Section 1.10 Inability to Determine Euro-Rate or LMIR. (a) If the Administrator (or any Purchaser Agent) determines before the first day of any Yield Period (or, solely with respect to LMIR, any day) (which determination shall be final and conclusive absent manifest error) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank eurodollar market generally (i) deposits in dollars (in the relevant amounts for such Yield Period) are not being offered to banks in the interbank eurodollar market for such Yield Period, (ii) adequate means do not exist for ascertaining the Euro-Rate or LMIR for such Yield Period (or portion thereof) or (iii) the Euro-Rate or LMIR does not accurately reflect the cost to any Purchaser (as determined by the related Purchaser or the applicable Purchaser Agent) of maintaining any Portion of Capital during such Yield Period (or portion thereof), then the Administrator shall give notice thereof to the Seller. Thereafter, until the Administrator or such Purchaser Agent notifies the Seller that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, (a) no Portion of Capital shall be funded at the Yield Rate determined by reference to the Euro-Rate or LMIR and (b) the Discount for any outstanding Portions of Capital then funded at the Yield Rate determined by reference to the Euro-Rate or LMIR shall, on the last day of the then current Yield Period (or, solely with respect to LMIR, immediately), be converted to the Yield Rate determined by reference to the Base Rate.

(b) If, on or before the first day of any Yield Period (or, solely with respect to LMIR, any day), the Administrator shall have been notified by any Purchaser or Purchaser Agent that such Person has determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive absent manifest error) that any enactment, promulgation or adoption of or any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by a governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by such Person with any guideline, request or directive (whether or not

 

-18-


having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall make it unlawful or impossible for such Person to fund or maintain any Portion of Capital at the Yield Rate and based upon the Euro-Rate or LMIR, the Administrator shall notify the Seller thereof. Upon receipt of such notice, until the Administrator notifies the Seller that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer apply, (a) no Portion of Capital shall be funded at the Yield Rate determined by reference to the Euro-Rate or LMIR and (b) the Discount for any outstanding Portions of Capital then funded at the Yield Rate determined by reference to the Euro-Rate or LMIR shall be converted to the Yield Rate determined by reference to the Base Rate either (i) on the last day of the then current Yield Period (or, solely with respect to LMIR, any day) if such Person may lawfully continue to maintain such Portion of Capital at the Yield Rate determined by reference to the Euro-Rate or LMIR to such day, or (ii) immediately, if such Person may not lawfully continue to maintain such Portion of Capital at the Yield Rate determined by reference to the Euro-Rate or LMIR to such day.

Section 1.11 Extension of Facility Termination Date. The Seller may advise the Administrator and each Purchaser Agent in writing of its desire to extend the then current Facility Termination Date set forth in clause (a) of the definition thereof or determined pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof; provided that such request is made not more than 90 days prior to, and not less than 60 days prior to, the then current Facility Termination Date and provided, further, that no extension of the Facility Termination Date determined pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof with respect to any Purchaser shall be for a period of more than 364 days after the effective date of such extension. In the event that the Purchasers are all agreeable to such extension, the Administrator shall so notify the Seller in writing (it being understood that the Purchasers may accept or decline such a request in their sole discretion and on such terms as they may elect) not less than 30 days prior to the then current Facility Termination Date and the Seller, the Servicer, the Administrator, the Purchaser Agents and the Purchasers shall enter into such documents as the Purchasers may deem necessary or appropriate to reflect such extension, and all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Purchasers, the Administrator and the Purchaser Agents in connection therewith (including reasonable Attorneys’ Costs) shall be paid by the Seller. In the event any Purchaser declines the request for such extension, such Purchaser (or the applicable Purchaser Agent on its behalf) shall so notify the Administrator and the Administrator shall so notify the Seller of such determination; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrator to notify the Seller of the determination to decline such extension shall not affect the understanding and agreement that the applicable Purchasers shall be deemed to have refused to grant the requested extension in the event the Administrator fails to affirmatively notify the Seller, in writing, of their agreement to accept the requested extension.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, all parties to this Agreement covenant and agree to treat the Purchases hereunder as debt for all federal, state, local and franchise tax purposes and agree not to take any position on any tax return in consistent with the foregoing.

(a) The servicing, administering and collection of the Pool Receivables shall be conducted by the Person so designated from time to time as the Servicer in accordance with this Section 4.1. Until the Administrator gives notice to FleetCor (in accordance with this Section 4.1) of the designation of a new Servicer, FleetCor is hereby designated as, and hereby agrees to perform the duties and obligations of, the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof. Upon the occurrence of a Termination Event, the Administrator may (with the consent of the Majority Purchaser Agents) or shall (at the direction of the Majority Purchaser Agents) designate as Servicer any Person (including itself) to succeed FleetCor or any successor Servicer, on the condition in each case that any such Person so designated shall agree to perform the material

 

-22-


collection, servicing and administrative duties and obligations (other than indemnities and similar obligations) of the Servicer with respect to the Pool Receivables and Collections pursuant to the terms hereof.

(b) Upon the designation of a successor Servicer as set forth in clause (a), FleetCor agrees that it will terminate its activities as Servicer hereunder in a manner that the Administrator determines will facilitate the transition of the performance of such activities to the new Servicer, and FleetCor shall cooperate with and assist such new Servicer. Such cooperation shall include access to and transfer of related records (including all Contracts) and use by the new Servicer of all licenses, hardware or software necessary or desirable to collect the Pool Receivables and the Related Security.

(c) FleetCor acknowledges that, in making their decision to execute and deliver this Agreement, the Administrator and each member in each Purchaser Group have relied on FleetCor’s agreement to act as Servicer hereunder. Accordingly, FleetCor agrees that it will not voluntarily resign as Servicer.

(d) The Servicer may delegate its duties and obligations hereunder to any subservicer (each a “Sub-Servicer”); provided, that, in each such delegation: (i) such Sub-Servicer (other than Chevron) shall agree in writing to perform the duties and obligations of the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof, (ii) the Servicer shall remain solely liable for the performance of the duties and obligations so delegated, (iii) the Seller, the Administrator and each Purchaser Group shall look solely to the Servicer for performance and Chevron shall have no obligation hereunder to the Seller, any Purchaser Group, the Purchaser Agents or the Administrator with respect to Chevron’s services to FleetCor or the Servicer, whether as Sub-Servicer or otherwise, and (iv) the terms of any agreement with any Sub-Servicer shall provide that the Administrator may terminate such agreement upon the termination of the Servicer hereunder by giving notice of its desire to terminate such agreement to the Servicer (and the Servicer shall provide appropriate notice to each such Sub-Servicer); provided, however, that if any such delegation is to any Person other than an Originator, a Sub-Originator or an Affiliate thereof, the Administrator and the Majority Purchaser Agents shall have consented in writing in advance to such delegation.

Section 4.2 Duties of the Servicer.

(a) The Servicer shall take or cause to be taken all such action as may be necessary or advisable to administer and collect each Pool Receivable from time to time, all in accordance with this Agreement and all applicable laws, rules and regulations, with reasonable care and diligence, and in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policies. The Servicer shall set aside for the accounts of the Seller and the Purchasers the amount of Collections to which each is entitled in accordance with Article I hereof. The Servicer, the Originators and the Sub-Originators may, in accordance with the applicable Credit and Collection Policy, take such action, including modifications, waivers or restructurings of Pool Receivables and the related Contracts, as the Servicer, the Originators and the Sub-Originators may reasonably determine to be appropriate to maximize Collections thereof or reflect adjustments permitted under the Credit and Collection Policy or required under applicable laws, rules or regulations or the applicable

 

-23-


Contract; provided, however, that for the purposes of this Agreement: (i) such action shall not change the number of days such Pool Receivable has remained unpaid from the date of the original due date related to such Pool Receivable, (ii) such action shall not alter the status of such Pool Receivable as a Delinquent Receivable or a Defaulted Receivable under this Agreement or limit the rights of any Purchaser, Purchaser Agent or the Administrator under this Agreement and (iii) if a Termination Event or an Unmatured Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and FleetCor or an Affiliate thereof is serving as the Servicer, FleetCor or such Affiliate may take such action only upon the prior approval of the Administrator. The Seller shall deliver to the Servicer and the Servicer shall hold for the benefit of the Seller and the Purchasers, in accordance with their respective interests, all records and documents (including computer tapes or disks) with respect to each Pool Receivable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if a Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Administrator (with the consent of the Majority Purchaser Agents) may direct the Servicer (whether the Servicer is FleetCor or any other Person) to commence or settle any legal action to enforce collection of any Pool Receivable or to foreclose upon or repossess any Related Security.

(b) The Servicer shall, as soon as practicable following actual receipt of collected funds, turn over to the Seller the collections of any indebtedness that is not a Pool Receivable, less, if FleetCor or an Affiliate thereof is not the Servicer, all reasonable and appropriate out-of-pocket costs and expenses of such Servicer of servicing, collecting and administering such collections. The Servicer, if other than FleetCor or an Affiliate thereof, shall, as soon as practicable upon demand, deliver to the Seller all records in its possession that evidence or relate to any indebtedness that is not a Pool Receivable, and copies of records in its possession that evidence or relate to any indebtedness that is a Pool Receivable.

After such termination, if FleetCor or an Affiliate thereof was not the Servicer on the date of such termination, the Servicer shall promptly deliver to the Seller all books, records and related materials that the Seller previously provided to the Servicer, or that have been obtained by the Servicer, in connection with this Agreement.

Upon the occurrence of a Termination Event, the Administrator may (with the consent of the Majority Purchaser Agents) or shall (upon the direction of the Majority Purchaser Agents) at any time thereafter give (or, pursuant to the Interim Collection Account Administration Agreement, instruct the Interim Collection Account Administrative Agent to give) notice to each Collection Account Bank that the Administrator (or, if applicable, the Interim Collection Account Administrative Agent) is

 

-24-


exercising its rights under the Collection Account Agreements and/or Interim Collection Account Agreements to do any or all of the following: (a) to have the exclusive ownership and control of the Collection Accounts and Lock-Boxes transferred to the Administrator (for the benefit of the Purchasers) or to the Interim Collection Account Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Administrator and the Purchasers) and to exercise exclusive dominion and control over the funds deposited therein, (b) to have the proceeds that are sent to the respective Collection Accounts and Lock-Boxes redirected pursuant to the Administrator’s or the Interim Collection Account Administrative Agent’s instructions rather than deposited in the applicable Collection Account, and (c) to take any or all other actions permitted under the applicable Collection Account Agreement or Interim Collection Account Agreement. The Seller hereby agrees that if the Administrator or the Interim Collection Account Administrative Agent at any time takes any action set forth in the preceding sentence, the Administrator or Interim Collection Account Administrative Agent (as applicable) shall have exclusive control (for the benefit of the Purchasers) of the proceeds (including Collections) of all Pool Receivables and the Seller hereby further agrees to take any other action that the Administrator, the Interim Collection Account Administrative Agent or any Purchaser Agent may reasonably request to transfer such control. Any proceeds of Pool Receivables received by the Seller or the Servicer thereafter shall be sent immediately to, or as otherwise instructed by, the Administrator. The parties hereto hereby acknowledge that if at any time the Administrator or Interim Collection Account Administrative Agent takes control of any Collection Account or Lock-Box, the Administrator and Interim Collection Account Administrative Agent shall not have any rights to the funds therein in excess of the unpaid amounts due to the Administrator, the Interim Collection Account Administrative Agent, any member of any Purchaser Group, any Indemnified Party or Affected Person or any other Person hereunder, and the Administrator or Interim Collection Account Administrative Agent (as applicable) shall distribute or cause to be distributed such funds in accordance with Section 4.2(b) and Article I (in each case as if such funds were held by the Servicer thereunder).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this subsection, none of the powers conferred upon such attorney-in-fact pursuant to the preceding sentence shall subject such attorney-in-fact to any liability if any action taken by it shall prove to be inadequate or invalid, nor shall they confer any obligations upon such attorney-in-fact in any manner whatsoever.

Section 4.5 Responsibilities of the Seller.

(a) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Seller shall: (i) perform all of its obligations, if any, under the Contracts related to the Pool Receivables to the same extent as if interests in such Pool Receivables had not been transferred hereunder, and the exercise by the Administrator, the Purchaser Agents or the Purchasers of their respective rights hereunder shall not relieve the Seller from such obligations, and (ii) pay when due any taxes, including any sales taxes payable in connection with the Pool Receivables and their creation and satisfaction. The Administrator, the Purchaser Agents or any of the Purchasers shall not have any obligation or liability with respect to any Pool Asset, nor shall any of them be obligated to perform any of the obligations of the Seller, Servicer, FleetCor, the Originators or the Sub-Originators thereunder.

(b) FleetCor hereby irrevocably agrees that if at any time it shall cease to be the Servicer hereunder, it shall act (if the then-current Servicer so requests) as the data-processing agent of the Servicer and, in such capacity, FleetCor shall conduct the data-processing functions of the administration of the Receivables and the Collections thereon in substantially the same way that FleetCor conducted such data-processing functions while it acted as the Servicer.

The Purchasers’ Share of such fee shall be paid through the distributions contemplated by Section 1.4(d), and the Seller’s Share of such fee shall be paid directly by the Seller.

(b) If the Servicer ceases to be FleetCor or an Affiliate thereof, the servicing fee shall be the greater of: (i) the amount calculated pursuant to clause (a), and (ii) an alternative amount specified by the successor Servicer not to exceed 110% of the aggregate reasonable costs and expenses incurred by such successor Servicer in connection with the performance of its obligations as Servicer.

Upon such acceptance of its appointment as Administrator hereunder by a successor Administrator, such successor Administrator shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights and duties of the retiring Administrator, and the retiring Administrator shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Transaction Documents. After any retiring Administrator’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of Sections 3.1 and 3.2 and this Article V shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrator.

ARTICLE VI

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 6.1 Amendments, Etc. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or consent to any departure by the Seller or the Servicer therefrom, shall be effective unless in a writing signed by the Administrator, each of the Majority Purchaser Agents and the Swingline Purchaser, and, in the case of any amendment, by the other parties thereto; and then such amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, that no such amendment or waiver shall, without the consent of each affected Purchaser, (A) extend the date of any payment or deposit of Collections by the Seller or the Servicer, (B) reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of Discount, (C) reduce any fees payable to the Administrator, any Purchaser Agent or any Purchaser pursuant to the applicable Purchaser Group Fee Letter, (D) change the amount of Capital of any Purchaser, any Purchaser’s pro rata share of the Purchased Interest or any Committed Purchaser’s Commitment, (E) amend, modify or waive any provision of the definition of “Majority Purchaser Agents” or this Section 6.1, (F) consent to or permit the assignment or transfer by the Seller of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, (G) change the definition of “Concentration Percentage,” “Concentration Reserve Percentage,” “Dilution Reserve Percentage,” “Eligible Receivable,” “Loss Reserve Percentage,” “Net Receivables Pool Balance,” “Purchased Interest,” “Termination Event,” “Total Reserves” or “Yield Reserve Percentage” or (H) amend or modify any defined term (or any defined term used directly or indirectly in such defined term) used in clauses (A) through (G) above in a manner that would circumvent the intention of the restrictions set forth in such clauses. No failure on the part of the Purchasers, the Purchaser Agents or the Administrator to exercise, and no delay in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.

Section 6.2 Notices, Etc. All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall, unless otherwise stated herein, be in writing (including facsimile communication) and shall be personally delivered or sent by facsimile, or by overnight mail, to the intended party at the mailing address or facsimile number of such party set forth under its name on the signature pages hereof (or in any other document or agreement pursuant to which it is or became a party hereto), or at such other address or facsimile number as shall be designated

 

-31-


by such party in a written notice to the other parties hereto. All such notices and communications shall be effective (i) if delivered by overnight mail, when received, and (ii) if transmitted by facsimile, when sent, receipt confirmed by telephone or electronic means.

Section 6.3 Successors and Assigns; Participations; Assignments.

(a) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Except as otherwise provided herein, neither the Seller nor the Servicer may assign or transfer any of its rights or delegate any of its duties hereunder or under any Transaction Document without the prior consent of the Administrator and the Purchaser Agents.

(b) Register. The Administrator, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Seller, shall maintain a record of any assignment pursuant to Section 6.3(e) and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Purchasers and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated Discount) of the interests in the Receivables and rights under this Agreement owing to each Purchaser pursuant to the terms of this Agreement from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Seller and the Administrator shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Purchaser hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Seller and any Purchaser, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(c) Participations. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, any Purchaser may sell to one or more Persons (each a “Participant”) participating interests in the interests of such Purchaser hereunder; provided, however, that no Purchaser shall grant any participation under which the Participant shall have rights to approve any amendment to or waiver of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. Such Purchaser shall remain solely responsible for performing its obligations hereunder, and the Seller, each Purchaser Agent and the Administrator shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Purchaser in connection with such Purchaser’s rights and obligations hereunder. A Purchaser shall not agree with a Participant to restrict such Purchaser’s right to agree to any amendment hereto, except amendments that require the consent of all Purchasers.

(d) Participant Register. The Seller agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of the Sections 1.7 and 1.9 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 1.9(c); it being understood that the documentation required under Section 1.9(c) shall be delivered to the Purchaser who sells the participation rather than to the Seller or Administrator) to the same extent as if it were a Purchaser and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 6.3(e), provided that such Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under the Section 1.7 or Section 1.9, with respect to any participation, than the Purchaser from whom it acquired the applicable participation would have been entitled to receive. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of any set-off rights provided to the Purchasers under this Agreement as though it were a Purchaser, provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 6.11 as though it were a Purchaser. Each Purchaser that sells

 

-32-


a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Seller, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated Discount) of each Participant’s interest in the Receivables and rights under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Purchaser shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under this Agreement) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such interest in Receivables and under this Agreement is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Purchaser shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrator shall have no responsibility for maintaining the Participant Register.

(e) Assignments by Certain Committed Purchasers. Any Committed Purchaser may assign to one or more Persons (each a “Purchasing Committed Purchaser”), reasonably acceptable to the related Purchaser Agent in its sole discretion, and, prior to the occurrence of a Termination Event, with the consent of the Seller (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), any portion of its Commitment pursuant to a supplement hereto, substantially in the form of Annex D with any changes as have been approved by the parties thereto (each, a “Transfer Supplement”), executed by each such Purchasing Committed Purchaser, such selling Committed Purchaser, such related Purchaser Agent and the Administrator and, if applicable, Seller. Any such assignment by Committed Purchaser cannot be for an amount less than $10,000,000. Upon (i) the execution of the Transfer Supplement, (ii) delivery of an executed copy thereof to the Seller, such related Purchaser Agent and the Administrator and (iii) payment by the Purchasing Committed Purchaser to the selling Committed Purchaser of the agreed purchase price, if any, such selling Committed Purchaser shall be released from its obligations hereunder to the extent of such assignment and such Purchasing Committed Purchaser shall for all purposes be a Committed Purchaser party hereto and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Committed Purchaser hereunder to the same extent as if it were an original party hereto. The amount of the Commitment of the selling Committed Purchaser allocable to such Purchasing Committed Purchaser shall be equal to the amount of the Commitment of the selling Committed Purchaser transferred regardless of the purchase price, if any, paid therefor. The Transfer Supplement shall be an amendment hereof only to the extent necessary to reflect the addition of such Purchasing Committed Purchaser as a “Committed Purchaser” and any resulting adjustment of the selling Committed Purchaser’s Commitment. Any Committed Purchaser may pledge or assign any of its rights (including, without limitation, rights to payment of principal and interest) hereunder to any Federal Reserve Bank without notice to or consent of the Seller, the Servicer, any other Purchaser, any Purchaser Agent or the Administrator; provided, that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Committed Purchaser from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute such pledgee or assignee for such Committed Purchaser as a party hereto.

(f) Assignments to Program Support Providers. Any Conduit Purchaser may at any time grant to one or more of its Program Support Providers, participating interests in its portion of the Purchased Interest. In the event of any such grant by such Conduit Purchaser of a participating interest to a Program Support Provider, such Conduit Purchaser shall remain

 

-33-


responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder. The Seller agrees that each Program Support Provider of any Conduit Purchaser hereunder shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 1.7, 1.8 and 1.9.

(g) Other Assignment by Conduit Purchasers. Each party hereto agrees and consents (i) to any Conduit Purchaser’s assignment, participation, grant of security interests in or other transfers of any portion of, or any of its beneficial interest in, the Purchased Interest (or portion thereof), including without limitation to any collateral agent in connection with its commercial paper program and (ii) to the complete assignment by any Conduit Purchaser of all of its rights and obligations hereunder to any other Person, and upon such assignment such Conduit Purchaser shall be released from all obligations and duties, if any, hereunder; provided, however, that such Conduit Purchaser may not, without the prior consent of its Committed Purchaser and, so long as no Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event is continuing, the Seller (such consent by the Seller not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), make any such transfer of its rights hereunder unless the assignee (i) (x) is a multi-seller asset-backed commercial paper conduit that is sponsored the Committed Purchaser (or an Affiliate thereof) for the assigning Conduit Purchaser or (y) is a Committed Purchaser or Liquidity Provider for the assigning Conduit Purchaser, (ii) has as its Purchaser Agent the Purchaser Agent of the assigning Conduit Purchaser and (iii) in the case of an assignee described in clause (i)(x) above, issues commercial paper or other Notes with credit ratings substantially comparable to the ratings of the assigning Conduit Purchaser. Any assigning Conduit Purchaser shall deliver to any assignee a Transfer Supplement with any changes as have been approved by the parties thereto, duly executed by such Conduit Purchaser, assigning any portion of its interest in the Purchased Interest to its assignee. Such Conduit Purchaser shall promptly (i) notify each of the other parties hereto of such assignment and (ii) take all further action that the assignee reasonably requests in order to evidence the assignee’s right, title and interest in such interest in the Purchased Interest and to enable the assignee to exercise or enforce any rights of such Conduit Purchaser hereunder. Upon the assignment of any portion of its interest in the Purchased Interest, the assignee shall have all of the rights hereunder with respect to such interest (except that the Discount therefor shall thereafter accrue at the rate, determined with respect to the assigning Conduit Purchaser unless the Seller, the related Purchaser Agent and the assignee shall have agreed upon a different Discount).

Section 6.4 Costs, Expenses and Taxes. (a) By way of clarification, and not of limitation, of Sections 1.7 or 3.1, the Seller shall pay to the Administrator and each member of each Purchaser Group on demand all reasonable costs and expenses in connection with (i) the preparation, execution, delivery and administration (including amendments or waivers of any provision) of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, (ii) the sale of the Purchased Interest (or any portion thereof), (iii) the perfection (and continuation) of the Administrator’s rights in the Receivables, Collections and other Pool Assets, (iv) the enforcement by the Administrator, any Purchaser Agent or any member of any Purchaser Group party to this Agreement of the obligations of the Seller, the Servicer, the Originators or the Sub-Originators under the Transaction Documents or of any Obligor under a Receivable and (v) the maintenance by the Administrator of the Collection Accounts (and any related Lock-Box), including reasonable fees, costs and expenses of legal counsel for the Administrator and each member of each Purchaser Group relating to any of the foregoing or to advising the Administrator, any

 

-34-


member of any Purchaser Group party to this Agreement or any related Program Support Provider about its rights and remedies under any Transaction Document or any related Funding Agreement and all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) of the Administrator and each Purchaser Agent in connection with the enforcement or administration of the Transaction Documents or any Funding Agreement. The Seller and Servicer shall, subject to the provisos set forth in Section 1(e) and Section 2(e) of Exhibit IV hereto, reimburse the Administrator and each member of each Purchaser Group for the cost of such Person’s auditors (which may be employees of such Person) auditing the books, records and procedures of the Seller or the Servicer. The Seller shall reimburse each Conduit Purchaser on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by such Conduit Purchaser or any shareholder of such Conduit Purchaser in connection with the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby, including certain costs related to the auditing of such Conduit Purchaser’s books by certified public accountants, and the Rating Agencies and reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel of the Administrator and each member of each Purchaser Group, or any shareholder or administrator of such, for advice relating to such Conduit Purchaser’s operation. Administrator and each member of each Purchaser Group agree, however, that unless a Termination Event has occurred and is continuing all of such entities will be represented by a single law firm.

(b) In addition, the Seller shall pay on demand any and all stamp and other taxes and fees payable in connection with the execution, delivery, filing and recording of this Agreement or the other documents or agreements to be delivered hereunder, and agrees to save each Indemnified Party and Affected Person harmless from and against any liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay in paying or omission to pay such taxes and fees.

Section 6.5 No Proceedings; Limitation on Payments. (a) Each of the Seller, FleetCor, the Servicer, the Administrator, the Purchaser Agents, the Purchasers, each assignee of the Purchased Interest or any interest therein, and each Person that enters into a commitment to purchase the Purchased Interest or interests therein, hereby covenants and agrees that it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, any Conduit Purchaser any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding, or other proceeding under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and one day after the latest maturing Note issued by such Conduit Purchaser is paid in full. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding any provisions contained in this Agreement to the contrary, no Conduit Purchaser shall or shall be obligated to, pay any amount, if any, payable by it pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document unless (i) such Conduit Purchaser has received funds which may be used to make such payment and which funds are not required to repay the Notes when due and (ii) after giving effect to such payment, either (x) such Conduit Purchaser could issue Notes to refinance all outstanding Notes (assuming such outstanding Notes matured at such time) in accordance with the program documents governing such Conduit Purchaser’s securitization program or (y) all Notes are paid in full. Any amount which such Conduit Purchaser does not pay pursuant to the operation of the preceding sentence shall not constitute a claim (as defined in §101 of the Bankruptcy Code) against or company obligation of such Conduit Purchaser for any such insufficiency unless and until such Conduit Purchaser satisfies the provisions of clauses (i) and (ii) above. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

 

-35-


(c) Each of FleetCor, the Servicer, the Administrator, the Purchaser Agents, the Purchasers, each assignee of the Purchased Interest or any interest therein and each Person that enters into a commitment to purchase the Purchased Interest or interests therein, hereby covenants and agrees that it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, the Seller any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding, or other proceeding under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and one day after the Final Payout Date; provided, however, that the Administrator shall not be prohibited from taking any such action with the consent of the Majority Purchaser Agents. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

Section 6.6 GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION.

(a) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A CONTRACT MADE UNDER AND GOVERNED BY THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (INCLUDING FOR SUCH PURPOSE SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK) EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT THE VALIDITY OR PERFECTION OF A SECURITY INTEREST OR REMEDIES HEREUNDER, IN RESPECT OF ANY PARTICULAR COLLATERAL ARE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF A JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

(b) ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK; AND, BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO CONSENTS, FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THOSE COURTS.

If all or any portion of such amount is thereafter recovered from the recipient, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

 

-37-

The Servicer will not (i) make any change in the character of its business, which change would impair the collectibility of any Pool Receivable or (ii) make any change in any Credit and Collection Policy that would reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect the collectibility of the Pool Receivables, the enforceability of any related Contract or its ability to perform its obligations under the related Contract or the Transaction Documents, in the case of either (i) or (ii) above, without the prior written consent of the Administrator and each Purchaser Agent. The Servicer shall not make any written change in any Credit and Collection Policy without giving prior written notice thereof to the Administrator and each Purchaser Agent.

 

IV-10


(i) Records. The Servicer will maintain and implement administrative and operating procedures (including an ability to recreate records evidencing Pool Receivables and related Contracts in the event of the destruction of the originals thereof), and keep and maintain all documents, books, records, computer tapes and disks and other information reasonably necessary or advisable for the collection of all Pool Receivables (including records adequate to permit the daily identification of each Pool Receivable and all Collections of and adjustments to each existing Pool Receivable).

(j) Change in Payment Instructions to Obligors. The Servicer shall not add to, replace or terminate any of the Collection Accounts (or any related Lock-Boxes) listed in Schedule II hereto or make any change in its instructions to the Obligors regarding payments to be made to the Collection Accounts (or any related Lock-Box), unless the Administrator and each Purchaser Agent shall have received (x) prior written notice of such addition, termination or change and (y) signed and acknowledged Collection Account Agreements with respect to such new Collection Accounts (or any related Lock-Boxes).

(k) Ownership Interest, Etc. The Servicer shall, at its expense, take all action necessary or reasonably desirable to establish and maintain a valid and enforceable undivided percentage ownership or security interest, to the extent of the Purchased Interest, in the Pool Receivables, the Related Security and Collections with respect thereto, and a first priority perfected security interest in the Pool Assets, in each case free and clear of any Adverse Claim other than Permitted Encumbrances, in favor of the Administrator (on behalf of the Purchasers), including taking such action to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the interest of the Administrator (on behalf of the Purchasers) as the Administrator or any Purchaser Agent, may reasonably request.

(l) Servicer shall not become a Sanctioned Person. The Servicer, either in its own right or through any third party, will not (a) have any of its assets in a Sanctioned Country or in the possession, custody or control of a Sanctioned Person in violation of any Anti-Terrorism Law; (b) do business in or with, or derive any of its income from investments in or transactions with, any Sanctioned Country or Sanctioned Person in violation of any Anti-Terrorism Law; (c) engage in any dealings or transactions prohibited by any Anti-Terrorism Law or (d) use the proceeds of any Purchase under this Agreement to fund any operations in, finance any investments or activities in, or, make any payments to, a Sanctioned Country or Sanctioned Person in violation of any Anti-Terrorism Law.

Without the prior written consent of the Administrator, FleetCor will not amend, modify, waive or supplement any provision of the Chevron Card Program Master Agreement or any document executed and delivered in connection therewith in a manner that adversely affects, directly or indirectly, FleetCor’s rights or remedies or Chevron’s obligations, as the case may be, under Sections 13.01(g), 13.07(a), 13.22, 13.27 or 16.06 of the Chevron Card Program Master Agreement.

 

IV-11

(o) Credit Risk Retention. The Servicer shall, and shall cause each Originator to, cooperate with each Purchaser (including by providing such information and entering into or delivering such additional agreements or documents reasonably requested by such Purchaser or its Purchaser Agent) to the extent reasonably necessary to assure such Purchaser that the Originators retain credit risk in the amount and manner required by the Credit Risk Retention Rules and to permit such Purchaser to perform its due diligence and monitoring obligations (if any) under the Credit Risk Retention Rules.

3. Separate Existence. Each of the Seller and the Servicer hereby acknowledges that the Purchasers and the Administrator are entering into the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents in reliance upon the Seller’s identity as a legal entity separate from Holdings, FleetCor, the Originators, the Sub-Originators and their respective Affiliates. Therefore, from and after the date hereof, each of the Seller and the Servicer shall take all steps specifically required by this Agreement or reasonably required by the Administrator or any Purchaser Agent to continue the Seller’s identity as a separate legal entity and to make it apparent to third Persons that the Seller is an entity with assets and liabilities distinct from those of Holdings, FleetCor, any Originator, any Sub-Originator and any other Person, and is not a division of Holdings, FleetCor, any Originator, any Sub-Originator or any other Person. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and in addition to and consistent with the other covenants set forth herein, each of the Seller and the Servicer shall take such actions as shall be required in order that:

(a) The Seller will be a limited liability company whose primary activities are restricted in its operating agreement to: (i) purchasing or otherwise acquiring from the Originators or Sub-Originators, owning, holding, granting security interests or selling interests in Pool Assets, (ii) entering into agreements for the selling and servicing of the Receivables Pool, and (iii) conducting such other activities as it deems necessary or appropriate to carry out its primary activities;

(b) The Seller shall not engage in any business or activity, or incur any indebtedness or liability (including, without limitation, any assumption or guaranty of any obligation of Holdings, FleetCor, any Originator, any Sub-Originator or any Affiliate thereof), other than as expressly permitted by the Transaction Documents;

(c) (i) Not less than one member of the Seller’s Board of Directors (the “Independent Director”) shall be a natural person (A) who is not at the time of initial appointment and has not been at any time during the five (5) years preceding such appointment: (1) an equityholder,

 

IV-12


director (other than the Independent Director), officer, employee, member, manager, attorney or partner of Holdings, FleetCor, Seller or any of their Affiliates; (2) a customer of, supplier to or other person who derives more than 1% of its purchases or revenues from its activities with Holdings, FleetCor, Seller or any of their Affiliates; (3) a person or other entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with any such equity holder, partner, member, manager customer, supplier or other person; or (4) a member of the immediate family of any such equity holder, director, officer, employee, member, manager, partner, customer, supplier or other person and (B) who has (x) prior experience as an independent director for a corporation or an independent manager of a limited liability company whose charter documents required the unanimous consent of all independent director or independent managers thereof before such corporation could consent to the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against it or could file a petition seeking relief under any applicable federal or state law relating to bankruptcy and (y) at least three years of employment experience with one or more entities that provide, in the ordinary course of their respective businesses, advisory, management or placement services to issuers of securitization or structured finance instruments, agreements or securities. Under this clause (c), the term “control” means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of management, policies or activities of a Person, whether through ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise. (ii) The operating agreement of the Seller shall provide that: (A) the Seller’s Board of Directors shall not approve, or take any other action to cause the filing of, a voluntary bankruptcy petition with respect to the Seller unless the Independent Director shall approve the taking of such action in writing before the taking of such action, and (B) such provision and each other provision requiring the consent of the Independent Director cannot be amended without the prior written consent of the Independent Director;

(d) The Independent Director shall not at any time serve as a trustee in bankruptcy for the Seller, Holdings, FleetCor, any Originator, any Sub-Originator or any of their respective Affiliates;

(e) The Seller shall conduct its affairs strictly in accordance with its organizational documents and observe all necessary, appropriate and customary company formalities, including, but not limited to, holding all regular and special members’ and board of directors’ meetings appropriate to authorize all limited liability company action, keeping separate and accurate minutes of its meetings, passing all resolutions or consents necessary to authorize actions taken or to be taken, and maintaining accurate and separate books, records and accounts, including, but not limited to, payroll and intercompany transaction accounts;

(f) Any employee, consultant or agent of the Seller will be compensated from the Seller’s funds for services provided to the Seller, and to the extent that Seller shares the same officers or other employees as Holdings, FleetCor or any Originator, any Sub-Originator (or any other Affiliate thereof), the salaries and expenses relating to providing benefits to such officers and other employees shall be fairly allocated among such entities, and each such entity shall bear its fair share of the salary and benefit costs associated with such common officers and employees. The Seller will not engage any agents other than its attorneys, auditors and other

 

IV-13


professionals, and a servicer and any other agent contemplated by the Transaction Documents for the Receivables Pool, which servicer will be fully compensated for its services by payment of the Servicing Fee, and a manager, which manager will be fully compensated from the Seller’s funds;

(g) The Seller will contract with the Servicer to perform for the Seller all operations required on a daily basis to service the Receivables Pool. The Seller will pay the Servicer the Servicing Fee pursuant hereto. The Seller will not incur any material indirect or overhead expenses for items shared with Holdings, FleetCor, any Originator or any Sub-Originator (or any other Affiliate thereof) that are not reflected in the Servicing Fee. To the extent, if any, that the Seller (or any Affiliate thereof) shares items of expenses not reflected in the Servicing Fee or the manager’s fee, such as legal, auditing and other professional services, such expenses will be allocated to the extent practical on the basis of actual use or the value of services rendered, and otherwise on a basis reasonably related to the actual use or the value of services rendered; it being understood that FleetCor, in its capacity as Servicer, shall pay all expenses relating to the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents, including legal, agency and other fees;

(h) The Seller’s operating expenses will not be paid by FleetCor, any Originator, any Sub-Originator or any Affiliate thereof;

(i) The Seller will have its own separate stationery;

(j) The Seller’s books and records will be maintained separately from those of FleetCor, each Originator, each Sub-Originator and any other Affiliate thereof and in a manner such that it will not be difficult or costly to segregate, ascertain or otherwise identify the assets and liabilities of Seller;

(k) All financial statements of Holdings, FleetCor, any Originator or any Sub-Originator or any Affiliate thereof that are consolidated to include Seller will disclose that (i) the Seller’s sole business consists of the purchase or acceptance through capital contributions of the Receivables and Related Rights from the Originators and the subsequent retransfer of or granting of a security interest in such Receivables and Related Rights to certain purchasers party to this Agreement, (ii) the Seller is a separate legal entity with its own separate creditors who will be entitled, upon its liquidation, to be satisfied out of the Seller’s assets prior to any assets or value in the Seller becoming available to the Seller’s equity holders and (iii) the assets of the Seller are not available to pay creditors of FleetCor, the Originators, the Sub-Originators or any other Affiliates of FleetCor, the Originators or the Sub-Originators;

(l) The Seller’s assets will be maintained in a manner that facilitates their identification and segregation from those of Holdings, FleetCor, the Originators, the Sub-Originators or any Affiliates thereof;

(m) The Seller will strictly observe corporate formalities in its dealings with Holdings, FleetCor, the Originators, the Sub-Originators or any Affiliates thereof, and funds or other assets of the Seller will not be commingled with those of Holdings, FleetCor, the Originators, the

 

IV-14


Sub-Originators or any Affiliates thereof except as permitted by this Agreement in connection with servicing the Pool Receivables. The Seller shall not maintain joint bank accounts or other depository accounts to which Holdings, FleetCor or any Affiliate thereof (other than FleetCor in its capacity as the Servicer) has independent access. The Seller 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 with respect to any loss relating to the property of Holdings, FleetCor, the Originators, the Sub-Originators or any Subsidiaries or other Affiliates thereof. The Seller will pay to the appropriate Affiliate the marginal increase or, in the absence of such increase, the market amount of its portion of the premium payable with respect to any insurance policy that covers the Seller and such Affiliate;

(n) The Seller will maintain arm’s-length relationships with Holdings, FleetCor, the Originators, the Sub-Originators (and any Affiliates thereof). Any Person that renders or otherwise furnishes services to the Seller will be compensated by the Seller at market rates for such services it renders or otherwise furnishes to the Seller. Neither the Seller on the one hand, nor FleetCor or any Originator, any Sub-Originator, on the other hand, will be or will hold itself out to be responsible for the debts of the other or the decisions or actions respecting the daily business and affairs of the other. The Seller, Holdings, FleetCor, the Originators and the Sub-Originators will immediately correct any known misrepresentation with respect to the foregoing, and they will not operate or purport to operate as an integrated single economic unit with respect to each other or in their dealing with any other entity;

(o) The Seller shall have a separate area from Holdings, FleetCor, each Originator and each Sub-Originator for its business (which may be located at the same address as such entities) and to the extent that any other such entity have offices in the same location, there shall be a fair and appropriate allocation of overhead costs between them, and each shall bear its fair share of such expenses; and

(p) To the extent not already covered in paragraphs (a) through (o) above, Seller shall comply and/or act in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.4 of the Sale Agreement.

ORIGINAL POLICY DATE: 09/30/1999    REVISION DATE: 08/15/2014
SUBJECT: CREDIT & COLLECTIONS POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

 

  I. Initial Customer Due Diligence (CDD) Procedures

 

  1. AML-OFAC Verification

 

  a. The Enterprise Risk & Compliance Department has assigned the new account approval and set up responsibilities to the Comdata Credit Department. The Comdata Credit Department receives new credit applications daily from the Sales Department in various manners; Apttus, ICD, or hardcopy. The Apttus and ICD software will only allow submission of the credit application into the eCredit system if all of the required fields have been completed.

 

  b. Credit Management is responsible for allocating the new credit requests within eCredit to each Credit Associate ensuring proper resources are allocated to process the new credit applications. The Comdata Credit Associates complete the following AML verification processes to ensure that the applicants are legitimate businesses applying for credit, to ensure that the applicants are not previous Comdata customers that still owe Comdata money, to ensure that the individuals or companies are not on Comdata’s watch list, and to ensure that the applicants are not on the OFAC list as individuals or companies that Comdata is prohibited to transact business with.

 

  2. The following general information shall be required of each prospective Customer:

 

  a. Legal Name and DBA. The exact legal name of the prospective Customer, any “Doing Business As” (“DBA”) or trade name used by the applicant in the conduct of its business.

 

  b. Address. The prospective Customer’s principal business (physical address; billing address if different from the physical address) address.

 

  c. Telephone Number. The prospective Customer’s principal telephone number.

 

  d. SIC Code/ Industry Type. The Standard Industrial Code, a four digit code, represents the industry the prospective customer is classified as being a part of.

 

  e. TIN. The prospective Customer’s taxpayer identification number (“TIN” or “SSN”) or numbers, if more than one TIN.

 

  f. Legal Business Entity Type - Type of business structure (i.e. Corporation; Sole Prop) of the prospective Customer and the number of years in business.

 

  g. Bank Reference. At least one current bank reference. For each bank listed, the prospective Customer should include as much of the following as possible: the bank’s name, the bank’s address, the account number(s) at the bank and the name and telephone number of a person to contact at the bank for further information. The bank reference is not required for a prospective Customer that is a company whose stock is publicly traded on a nationally recognized U.S. stock exchange or for a governmental entity.

 

  h. Owner Information. Depending on the type of entity, information regarding the individual owner(s) of the prospective Customer, including: name; home address (physical); telephone number; DOB; SSN or other TIN if a sole proprietorship is required.

 

  II. Customer Identification Program (CIP) & Verification

Comdata verifies Customers’ identities using both documentary and non-documentary methods. Depending on the type of entity and the size of the account, Comdata verifies Customers’ identities through third party sources, such

as checking the Equifax Business Fraud Advisor Report. A score equal to or greater than 673 satisfies standard CIP requirements. A score of less than 673 will require an enhanced due diligence review which could include the following items: Secretary of State filings or Experian reports, and may require additional documentation from the prospective Customer.

 

  III. Recordkeeping

Comdata retains all identifying information collected about a prospective Customer for a period of at least five (5) years. Comdata also retains records of the methods and results of its verification processes, including the resolution of any discrepancies.

 

  IV. Verification of Cardholder Identity (this function is not performed by the Credit Department, but rather by the Risk & Compliance Department)

FinCEN’s Prepaid Access Rule imposes certain customer identification program (CIP) obligations on providers (and sellers) of prepaid access. Providers (and sellers) of prepaid access must establish procedures to verify the identity of a “person who obtains prepaid access” under a prepaid program which is not exempt, and to obtain identifying information concerning such a person, including name, date of birth, address and identification number. Providers of prepaid access must retain access to such identifying information for five (5) years after the last use of the prepaid access device or vehicle.

For nearly all of Comdata’s prepaid card programs, the “person who obtains prepaid access” is Comdata’s Customer. Comdata’s policies, procedures and controls with respect to the identification, verification and additional due diligence procedures for such Customers is described above. In limited circumstances, the person who “obtains prepaid access” is the cardholder (the “Cardholder”) as a result of a statutory contractual relationship with Comdata’s Customer (e.g. certain payroll card programs). With respect to these Cardholders and where the underlying prepaid program is not exempt, Comdata has established procedures for verification of the identity of a Cardholder and access to the information used to verify the identity of a Cardholder. Where required, Comdata requires its Customers to verify the identity of a Cardholder, to collect identifying information about Cardholders, and to maintain access to such information.

Additional Screening Procedures for Customers

 

  V. Prohibited Persons

The apparent legitimacy of each Customer shall be established by screening of names against established parameters. Comdata shall use the following sources of information and procedures to assist in the review of names of Customers and to ensure that no specific Customer is included in any group of prohibited persons under U.S. law or under Comdata’s policy.

 

    OFAC. Federal statutes and regulations administered by the Treasury Department and OFAC generally prohibit Comdata, including its owners and employees, from entering into any business relationship or engaging in any business transaction with a person identified by OFAC as a prohibited person or with any country or representative of a country identified by OFAC as prohibited. Comdata shall screen all prospective Customers to ensure compliance with OFAC requirements by utilizing section 4 (Commercial Fraud Shield) which includes an examination of potential listings on the OFAC warning list as part of the Experian Premier Report or in scenarios where a business is NOT listed (i.e. brand new) on a Premier report, Comdata will utilize its Lexis Nexis OFAC services to conduct the OFAC screenings.

A Credit Associate will search via a third party such as Lexis Nexis or the internet to conduct a reverse phone number lookup and Secretary of State search to ensure that: 1) the phone number, business name, and address correspond to the credit application; and 2) the applicant is listed as active and in good standing with the Secretary of State. If any physical address (business or owner) is a P.O. Box or includes a suite number or apartment number, a search for mail services in that zip code should be conducted via a third party internet phone book service (such as “411.com”). If the address is confirmed as a mail service, the application should be declined until a physical address is provided and verified as legitimate. If the applicant is a Transportation business, an active FMCSA listing is also acceptable in lieu of Secretary of State or phone verification. This is a pre-funding requirement and a copy of the phone, Secretary of State and/or FMCSA verification will be maintained in the credit file or eCredit Notes indefinitely.

If the Credit Associate is unable to verify the phone number or that the company is in good standing, the Credit Department will require the applicant to provide a Phone Bill (required for phone verification) or one of the following document copies to complete the business verification process: Business License; Articles of Incorporation; Partnership Agreement; Proof of Business Insurance; TIN Confirmation Receipt. If the reverse phone number search or phone bill received doesn’t match the business or owner name, and the business or owner address on the credit application, then the Credit Associate should inquire with the applicant or the Comdata sales team about the variance and either obtain their manager’s approval to proceed with the review process or reject the application. All manager overrides should be documented in eCredit (Notes or Decision Screen). This is a pre-funding requirement and the evidence will be maintained in the credit file or eCredit Notes indefinitely.

Names and social security numbers of all individuals listed on the credit application will be verified on a personal Credit Bureau Report, in Lexis Nexis, or another third-party fraud prevention tool. Any discrepancy in name, social security number, or return of fraud alerts or multiple social security numbers should be thoroughly investigated and the application may be denied.

The Credit Department will run a criminal background check on all Referral/Reseller and website MasterCard referral applications. At the Credit Analyst’s discretion, a criminal background check may be run on any applicant. Any positive return must be reviewed and considered before the application can be processed further.

Pre-funding Site Inspections are required on all new applicants with credit limits of $100,000 or higher. At $250K or higher, a Site Inspection must be conducted by a Comdata Associate. On credit limits between $100K and $250K, Site Inspections may be completed by a third party site survey company. This is a pre-funding requirement and proof of verification will be maintained in eCredit on the Decision Screen or in eCredit Notes.

Lastly, the Credit Department will conduct a search of the STAR database, which includes (1) a current OFAC download; (2) an internal Comdata list containing previous Comdata customers that were sent to Claims and may still owe Comdata money or attorney fees or may have been charged off; and (3) company principals for whom we’ve received information from other credit providers that have been identified as suspicious or fraud risks. If the applicant owners (individual sole proprietor, partners, members, or corporate officers), non-owner principals, and legal entity (sole proprietorship, partnership, LLC, or corporation) are not found in the STAR database, then the last step of verification is complete. Proof of verification is maintained in eCredit within the Decision. This is a pre-funding requirement.

None of the aforementioned steps are required if the existing customer is adding a location. In these cases, the Credit Department will simply add an additional location.

If the applicant owners (individual sole proprietor, partners, members, or corporate officers) or legal entity (sole proprietorship, partnership, LLC, or corporation) are found in the STAR database watch list, then the Associate must inquire with the Special Assets Recovery (Claims) Department to determine if the customer still owes

Comdata money or legal fees. If so, the outstanding amounts must be paid in full before further consideration of the application may take place. If the applicant owners (individual sole proprietor, partners, members, or corporate officers) or legal entity ( sole proprietorship, partnership, LLC, or corporation) are found on the OFAC list, then the Credit Department must immediately cease work on the credit application without notifying the Sales Department or the Applicant and Credit must immediately contact the following Comdata associates:

 

    Vice President of Credit

 

    Senior Vice President of Credit & Collections

 

    Vice President of Loss Prevention and Risk Services

 

    SVP Legal

It is the responsibility of Comdata’s Loss Prevention and Risk Services Group to provide the Credit & Collections Department with guidance and contact the federal government when an applicant has been identified on the OFAC list.

Minimum Application Requirements

 

  For products utilizing a customer agreement, applicants must sign a completed and approved current Customer Agreement.

 

  For products utilizing a customer agreement, applicants must sign a completed and approved current credit application.

Hard Hold Criteria

 

  Any account can be placed subject to an account specific credit limit. All exceptions must be approved by the Senior Vice President of Credit.

Credit Line Criteria

The determination of a credit line that adequately accommodates a client’s anticipated billing volume is dependent upon the following variables:

 

  Anticipated Billing Dollar Volume

 

  Method of Remittance

 

  Payment Frequency

Generally speaking, credit lines will be based upon one of the matrices herein shown.

Payment Method Policy

The Comdata Credit Department attempts to match customer need, Comdata profitability, and risk profile when a customer is approved for a specific payment type. Comdata recognizes the risk associated with the various types of customer payment, which is why the Credit Department must approve the payment type for each customer. Two types of decisions are generally made with respect to payments: 1) Decisions for new customers; and 2) Decisions for existing customers.

Decisions for New Customers

With the use of the on-line credit application, the applicant’s requested payment method is provided. However, when the Credit Analyst is considering a new customer for payment type and the customer’s desired method of payment is not yet known, the Analyst will make the assumption that the customer will pay with uncollected funds (Comdata-initiated ACH, EBP, or Check ) once per week. If in the Analyst’s determination the customer’s risk profile does not qualify them for such a payment method/schedule, the Analyst may put more restrictive conditions on the account such as “customer must pay via collected funds (wire or customer-initiated ACH)”. The assumption will be made by our Credit Implementations team that any credit approval issued by a Credit Analyst without specified payment instructions will be allowed for any Comdata payment method including up to two times per week Comdata-initiated ACH. Any request that has been approved by an Analyst with an undefined payment method and comes back from sales/customer requesting more than twice a week Comdata-initiated ACH must be re-approved by a Credit Analyst or credit management personnel.

Decisions for Existing Customers

The Credit Department also receives requests for existing customers to modify their payment method. Examples of this would include a customer that wants to change the method of payment from company check to wire, or a customer might want to have Comdata initiate an ACH from their account 3 times a week that is now one time a week. The Credit Analyst will evaluate these requests and make a business decision based on several factors, including but not limited to the customer’s history of timely payments, the company’s third party credit reports, and/or the company’s financial condition. It is possible that a request to change or modify current payment methods will be declined by an Analyst if it requires an excessive amount of risk to be taken by Comdata.

Payment Types/Methods – Collected Funds

Wire

Customer initiates payment by arranging an electronic transfer of funds from his bank account to that of Comdata. Generally, Comdata receives the wire transfer the same day of the transfer. Comdata considers wire transfers to be collected funds since the customer must have collected funds in their bank account in order to make a transfer.

Reverse Wire (also known as Comdata Draw Down or Comdata Draw Down/Reverse Wire)

Comdata has the ability to initiate a wire on behalf of the customer from their bank account. Payments made by reverse wire do not have any risk of return, and are considered collected funds when received. This is currently a manual process for Comdata, so a limited number of accounts will be approved for this payment method until automation has been developed. Due to the cost to Comdata and the manual nature of this process, Comdata credit management must approve payment via this method.

Customer-initiated ACH (Cust ACH)

Payments made by a customer via an ACH initiated by that customer from their bank are considered collected funds. Although these payments do not have any risk of return, the customer does have the ability to initiate an ACH reversal through the originating bank by claiming the ACH was sent in error. In general banks will not accommodate these ACH reversal requests, and instances are extremely rare. As such payments by Cust ACH are considered collected funds.

Payment Types/Methods – Uncollected Funds

Comdata-initiated ACH (CDN ACH)

Comdata has the ability to initiate an ACH on behalf of the customer from their bank account. Comdata gives the customer credit for having sent this payment and credits their account before this payment actually clears, therefore Comdata considers this payment type as uncollected. Comdata has the ability to set customers up for CDN ACH anywhere from once per week to every day of the week, depending upon the product. This is the preferred payment method for customers that are approved to pay via uncollected funds with payment no more than twice per week.

Due to the additional risk Comdata assumes with multiple CDN ACH payments per week, the Credit Department has special guidelines for approving this payment type. Factors to be considered will include Comdata Risk Code, financial strength including cash balances, credit scores, Comdata payment history, etc. Any new credit limit or increase approved for a total of $20,000 – $49,999 with a payment method of Daily CDN ACH (5-7 times a week) must be approved by a Credit Supervisor or higher within the Credit Department. Any new credit limit or increase approved for a total of $50,000 – $100,000 with a payment method of Daily CDN ACH must be approved by a Director or higher within the Credit Department. Any new credit limit or increase approved for a total exceeding $100,000 with a payment method of Daily CDN ACH must be approved by the VP of Credit or SVP of Credit & Collections.

Electronic Bill Pay (EBP)

Payments made by a customer to Comdata via EBP do have a risk of return and are considered uncollected funds. This is accomplished through use of the web portal available through Comdata iConnect or by calling into Comdata Collections’ Inbound area. Because customers are restricted to payment of no more than the outstanding balance and/or no more than once per day, this somewhat reduces the risk of return exposure as compared to check. However there is still risk of return and this should be considered when evaluating payment via EBP.

Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT)

Comdata does not offer payment by EFT for new customers or existing customers that do not already have an account paying by EFT due to the cost to Comdata. Payment by EFT is considered uncollected funds. When Comdata receives a request for an account change associated with a customer that pays via EFT, this opportunity should be used to encourage a change to CDN ACH or EBP.

Check

Payments made by a customer via check are posted on the account when Comdata receives them and do have a risk of return. As such, payment by check is considered uncollected funds. Although very rare, customers do have the ability to send in multiple checks on the same day or send in multiple payments before their due date which creates the potential for multiple returns before Comdata is made aware of the first return. As such, the Credit Department will take this into account when approving payment via check.

Policy Exceptions

It is considered an exception to Comdata Credit Policy to grant any account payment set-up with a frequency of more than twice per week with payment via uncollected funds, where the credit limit being extended is $250,000 or more, and the customer/applicant has not been identified as a Risk Code 1. Exceptions to this must be approved by the SVP of Credit & Collections. Acceptable justification for making an exception to this requirement may include some combination of balance sheet cash balances significantly in excess of the proposed account limit, a large shareholders equity position, low balance sheet leverage, and a track record of consistent, superior earnings.

Existing Account Review Policies

Credit personnel are responsible for continually monitoring the credit-worthiness of existing customers in accordance with established policy and procedure. Existing account management policies are as follows:

 

  Scheduled reviews will be conducted on all accounts with unsecured credit of $100,000 or more at least annually.

 

  Reviews will be conducted on a routine basis as needed to address the adequacy of credit lines for billing volume changes.

Bankruptcy Issues

If an existing customer files Chapter 11 or 13 bankruptcy, the account is immediately suspended and transferred to claims. If the customer desires to continue using the account, at Comdata’s discretion, the customer can be allowed to continue the use of his existing Comdata account under a new contract with the debtor in possession on a pre-paid basis via collected funds only or under an assumption of the original contract,.

Prepayments

A Prepayment with uncollected funds is defined as a payment made to an account, which places the account in a credit balance. Prepayments put Comdata at an exposure over and above established credit limits. This exposure is not acceptable to Comdata. Therefore, prepayments will not be allowed unless they are a one time exposure approved by; an appropriate credit analyst, supervisor or director; or a collections supervisor, manager, director, or vice president. The only acceptable prepayments unless approved by the former are bank wires, customer initiated ACH, or Western Union Quick Collect.

Existing Account Hard Hold Criteria

All accounts can be placed subject to Hard Hold. All exceptions must be approved by the Senior Vice President of Credit.

Temporary Credit Line Increase Requests

Temporary credit line increases represent a service available to qualified Comdata clients to accommodate extraordinary non-routine volume related events. This service is not intended to be available for the routine/repetitive daily management of an account. It should be considered the “exception rather than the rule”.

Security is required when the credit-worthiness of a prospect/customer is considered inadequate to establish an unsecured line of credit. Security may also be required when an applicant or existing customer declines to provide sufficient financial data needed to determine credit-worthiness. Security options are classified as “Hard” or “Soft”. The various types of “Hard” and “Soft” security are as follows:

“Hard” Security

 

  Irrevocable/Standby Bank Letters of Credit

 

  Surety Bonds

 

  Cash Deposits

“Soft Security”

 

  Corporate Guaranty

 

  Personal Guaranty

Tie Codes

Associated accounts are “tie-coded” on the Credit L screen (AA screen) and in eCredit. The Manager of Portfolio Risk Management and Credit Desk associate process the requests for “tie-coding” and “untie-coding” accounts. The following criteria are used to determine if an account should be “tied”:

 

  1. The same company has multiple accounts.

 

2. One set of financials supports the limits on multiple accounts.

 

3. One piece of hard security supports the limits on multiple accounts.

 

4. Multiple accounts that are subsidiaries of a common parent and the limits are based on the parent’s credit bureau rating.

 

5. One corporate or personal guaranty supports the limits on multiple accounts.

Under the above scenarios, there should be ONE security comment on a “main” account in AA that states the GLOBAL credit limit and what it is based on. All other tied accounts should say “SEE XXXXX”. Schedule A’s should be prepared to match the security comment, and if possible should include a list of all tied accounts. eCredit should also be maintenanced so the ultimate account (“main” account) has all associated accounts (“parent” accounts) tied.

The analysts will provide specific instructions to the Credit Implementation Representatives on how the security comments should be written for any comment lines on any of the tied accounts that may need to be changed.

Healthcare Credit Policy

This policy shall serve as an addendum to Comdata’s standard Credit Policy, and applies specifically to the underwriting of credit requests relating to Comdata’s VCAP product for the Healthcare Program. In general, there are two types of credit requests under the Healthcare Program, accounts for Plan Sponsors, and accounts for Third Party Administrators (TPAs). The Comdata Healthcare model was designed to primarily provide accounts to Plan Sponsors as it is generally understood that these tend to carry less risk for a number of reasons:

 

    Many of these entail the use of Plan Assets or ERISA-regulated funds, and the perception exists that there is a higher probability that these funds are “protected” by a trust or escrow arrangement

 

    Funds are generally non-discretionary in nature, meaning that ensuring the payment of these claims is a high priority for the Plan Sponsor (over typical operating expenses), rather than risk the stability/status of their healthcare program by withholding/bouncing claims payments

 

    Limited risk of fraud since 3rd party (TPA) involvement in verifying/approving each claim as legitimate (TPA and Plan Sponsor would have to be in collusion to perpetrate fraud)

 

    Comdata’s intention to diversify the risk in this portfolio over a large number of Plan Sponsor accounts

 

    Comdata’s intention to build a reserve for this portfolio with which to off-set potential future losses

There are two Healthcare Program Funding Methods:

 

  1. Funding at Pre-Card Issuance (must be non-ERISA funds) – required to be pre-paid. Cannot use this funding method if utilizing ERISA funds since Comdata cannot lawfully take possession of ERISA funds prior to Card Authorization.

 

  2. Funding at Post-Card Authorization (may or may not be ERISA funds) – will be drafted daily by Comdata via Reverse-wire or Comdata-initiated ACH and requires a credit limit.

In general, it is understood that obtaining additional information for Plan Sponsors (in addition to the standard Plan Sponsor Enrollment and Authorization Form) will be difficult since Comdata is “twice removed” from the Plan Sponsor, who may or may not understand who Comdata is. As a result of the reduced risk as articulated above, and the fact that Comdata is twice-removed, before requesting additional information from the Plan Sponsor every attempt will be made by the Credit Department to get comfortable with the appropriate credit limit to facilitate the Plan Sponsor’s claims volume based on: 1) third party credit reports; 2) publicly available information; and 3) utilization of other available internet resources.

When determinable, the Credit Department will take the following factors into account when underwriting Plan Sponsor accounts:

 

    Tenure

 

    Number of Employees

 

    Revenue Size

 

    Industry Risk

 

    Credit History/Scores (High Credit, Number of Trades, DBT, etc.)

Credit Approvals & Annual Reviews for Plan Sponsor Accounts

 

    Standard Verifications will be required; however a copy of the Plan Sponsor’s phone bill should not be requested in cases where we are unable to verify the phone number (due to their “twice removed” status). Every attempt should be made to verify the phone number by other means (including calling the number).

 

    The standard Payment Method for credit limits up to $1,000,000 will be Comdata-initiated ACH, and Reverse-wire for credit limits in excess of $1,000,000.

 

    For credit limits of $100,000+, or for those where financial statements have been obtained in order for Comdata to be able to get comfortable with approving the required credit limit, a write-up will be completed utilizing the abbreviated Healthcare write-up format.

    “Drive by” site visits will be required for new Plan Sponsor accounts where the credit limit is $100k+. A site visit conducted by a Comdata employee shall be acceptable in lieu of a third party site visit. Exceptions should be properly approved and documented as policy exceptions.

 

    For Annual Reviews of credit limits of $100,000+, the analysis will include a review of the Comdata payment experience, as well as the rationale for the initial credit decision to verify that the original reasons are still valid and document as such on the Decision Screen in eCredit (i.e. no score deterioration, or if so still acceptable, etc.).

All approvals are contingent upon receipt of a properly executed Plan Sponsor Enrollment and Authorization Form and standard verification checks.

Credit Approvals & Annual Reviews for TPA-owned global/aggregated Accounts

For larger “global” or “aggregated” accounts to TPA’s through which Plan Sponsor funds are aggregated and flow (rather than each Plan Sponsor being drafted directly via Reverse-Wire or Comdata-initiated ACH), Comdata will underwrite the financial strength of the TPA, for which financial statements will be required – two years Audited financials including the Notes. If Audited financials are not produced, then Reviewed financials will be required. If Audited or Reviewed financials are not produced, then Tax Returns will be required. In most cases it is understood that the TPA will not likely qualify for the credit limit needed to accommodate the full volume of funds that pass through its account(s) based solely upon their financial condition. In some cases, in order to mitigate this risk Comdata may choose to implement one or more of the following options:

 

    Require view-only online access to each TPA-owned bank account providing transparency into the “global” payment account in order to allow Comdata to monitor the balance in the account versus the outstanding claims/authorizations to ensure sufficient funds exist in the payment account.

 

    Require payment by Reverse-wire rather than Comdata-initiated ACH for accounts with credit limits $1,000,000 or less in order to minimize return risk.

 

    Require an Account Control Agreement, restricting the TPA’s access to the funds in these funding accounts, depending upon the size and structure of these global/aggregated accounts.

For all TPA-owned funding accounts, Comdata will require a Bank Letter verifying the legal name and tax ID number associated with each funding account. The standard payment method for TPA accounts with credit limits of $1,000,000 or less shall be Comdata-initiated ACH. For credit limits in excess of $1,000,000, the standard payment method will be Reverse-wire. The Credit Analyst can approve up to their standard lending authority in credit limits paid via DB/DP Comdata-initiated ACH for Healthcare accounts. “Drive by” site visits will be required for new TPA accounts where the credit limit is $100k+. A site visit conducted by a Comdata employee shall be acceptable in lieu of a third party site visit. Exceptions should be properly approved and documented as policy exceptions.

All Credit decisions will be communicated by e-mail to the “HCenrollment” and “HCapproved” monitored e-mail boxes, in addition to the Comdata Sales Rep associated with the credit request.

Account Set-up for Healthcare Program Accounts

Before an account is set up, a properly completed and signed Enrollment and Authorization Form must be submitted. These documents will serve as (take the place of) the Credit Application, ACH Funding Authorization Form, and Contract. All Healthcare accounts will be set up in company “HC”. Once the account has been set up and the account code generated, correspondence shall be e-mailed to “HCenrollment” and “HCapproved” for further processing /implementation.

General Collection Policy

A major responsibility of the department involves the safeguarding of the company’s receivable investment via sound credit extension practices and the ultimate collection of outstanding receivables.

Credit personnel will adhere to the established collection policies and exercise due diligence to assure that our customers are maintained within the established terms of sale.

Terms of Sale

The standard terms of sale vary by the product type.

Credit Limit Maintenance without Credit Authority:

There are a few areas of responsibility within the Credit and Collections department where credit limit maintenance within the eCredit system is required even though the associates do not have credit limit granting authority. There is a report that is generated by Credit Management periodically that identifies credit limit maintenance by individual associates that is reviewed for any unusual activity.

Credit Desk Associates: Credit Desk associates are requested to change (increase or decrease) credit limits within the eCredit system due to account closings, hard security increases or decreases or moving credit line amounts within a customer hierarchy. These associates are also called upon to work on projects that may require credit line maintenance.

Portfolio Risk Management: This area acts as a backup to the Credit Desk and also performs risk analysis/fraud prevention including lowering credit limits and account closings.

Q/A Department: This area includes one associate and the Director of Training as they assist in working error reports in order to determine additional system/process training and quality needs.

This matrix is to be used for amounts from $20,001 to $50,000. Usage/Spend must be taken into consideration. Increases based on this matrix should be reasonable when compared to existing usage. Credit limits should never be a vehicle to allow for past due.

This matrix and any matrix used should be used alone and not in conjunction with any other matrix.

For accounts not rated with a first or second line rating, the pre-approval lines will be determined as follows:

 

    Must have been in business at least three (3) years and

 

    Must not be in bankruptcy

 

    Credit limits up to and including $3,000

 

    Credit score greater than 31 and

 

    Paydex greater than 65

 

    Maximum credit limit will not be greater than the existing D&B high credit

 

    Credit limits from $3,001 up to $7,500

 

    Credit score greater than 40 and

 

    Paydex greater than 70 and

 

    D&B high credit greater than $7,500

 

    Credit limits from $7,501 up to $10,000

 

    Credit score greater than 71 and

  All payments must be received in advance

 

  All payments must be collected funds

 

  Comcash accounts are set up on our balance forward system.

 

  Applicant must pass standard verification procedures outlined in section 1.1

SECTION IV – CREDIT LINE MANAGEMENT PROCEDURES

Credit Line Adequacy

The previously referenced CBR Score Matrix and the Commercial Bureau Credit Line Matrix in Section III, are tools to automatically indicate a maximum unsecured credit line for any customer meeting the matrix criteria. However, this maximum automated credit line may or may not be adequate to accommodate a customer’s volume level.

Under ideal conditions, a credit line should be adequate to comfortably accommodate a customer’s spending requirements. This helps to minimize frustration for both the customer and Comdata, resulting in a higher level of service satisfaction and minimal account maintenance. An adequate credit line can only be calculated if the following conditions exist.

 

  The customer provides Comdata accurate billing volume information

 

  The Terms of Sale are thoroughly explained to the customer

 

  The customer pays within terms via the agreed upon method of remittance

The addition of a buffer to the credit line is acceptable at the Credit Analyst’s discretion (within credit line authority) to accommodate unexpected fuel price increases, the addition of trucks to the fleet, and/or increase in business activity.

Credit Line and Delinquency

A credit line is not intended to accommodate delinquency on a customer’s account. Customers are expected to remit their payments within the established terms of sale even if their account balance is well below the established secured or unsecured credit line.

Credit line reviews are performed on accounts with unsecured credit limits of $100K and greater annually. If the volume of a customer does not reach expectations, the credit line utilization is examined during the review and after notifying Sales and the Customer, the credit limit may be reduced proportionately to minimize exposure and avoid possible delinquency.

If it is determined in the annual review process that an unsecured account has generated no volume activity during the past six months, the credit line should be suspended to minimize our risk

Credit lines will be maintained or increased based upon the need, pay performance and financial condition of the Comdata account. (Reference Section VII for procedures regarding “Scheduled” and “Volume” review requirements on existing customers.)

“Hard Hold” Early Notification

Customers can elect to receive via FAX or IconnectData notification Monday through Friday an early warning report to notify them when they reach a specified percentage of their credit line.

Notification is sent only once a day (in the A.M.) to the customers whose account balances reach the specified percentage of their credit line.

Notification will indicate the date and time the account status information was captured.

Notification will include the following information:

 

  Account Name and Account Code

 

  Credit Line

 

  Date of Last Payment

 

  Amount of Available Credit line

Notations are made in TELEMAR under the topic code (EARLYN) to identify accounts that decline this service.

TEMPORARY ADVANCES

(First Shift)

Temporary advances represent a service available to qualified Comdata clients to accommodate volume related events. This is a core service we provide to Cash, Fuel, and MasterCard customers. This service is not intended to be available for the routine/repetitive daily management of an account. It should be considered the exception rather than the rule.

When to temp:

 

    If the need for a temp is created due to a Comdata error. Advance only up to the amount of the error and no fee should be billed.

 

    Account is in good standing (see definition below)

When not to temp:

 

    Account is not in good standing

 

    Customer was set up within the last 3 months unless it is a Comdata error or the advance is just enough to move a driver off the pump.

Policy:

 

    Accounts in good standing- For collectors, grant advance for amount requested, not to exceed one-half of the amount of the payment. For individuals with lending authority, the amount of the advance should not exceed the individual’s authority, payment verification (see definition below) of immediate payment sufficient to bring the account balance below the credit limit and current.

 

    Temporary advances for Comdata initiated ACH are acceptable if the draft will occur within the next two (2) days. The amount of the temp is not to exceed 20% of the credit limit. Any deviation must be escalated to a supervisor or above. If the credit limit is not adequate for the customer’s usage, escalate to the appropriate sales associate.

 

    All advances should be accompanied by the appropriate bill temp comment in eCredit. The temporary advance is due to a Comdata error no bill temp comment is required. If the temporary advance is for a MasterCard account no bill temp comment is required because MasterCard accounts are billed overlimit fees. In the event eCredit is not available; the appropriate bill temp comment should be placed in Telemar.

(An account with a $50,000 credit limit could be advanced up to $5,000; however, the maximum amount for an account with a $500,000 credit limit would still be $5,000 without payment confirmation)

Escalation Required:

 

    If the amount of the request is greater than one-half of the amount of the verified payment, the account should be referred to the appropriate collection supervisor or above. If a customer fails to deliver on a promised payment, the supervisor should elevate the situation to senior management immediately.

CREDIT DESK TEMPORARY ADVANCE GUIDELINES

Temporary advances represent a service available to qualified Comdata clients to accommodate volume related events. This is a core service we provide to Cash, Fuel, and MasterCard customers. This service is not intended to be available for the routine/repetitive daily management of an account. It should be considered the exception rather than the rule.

Temporary advances should not be abused, and granted only if the need is genuine and justified. Remember – All temporary advances (except Comdata errors) should be accompanied by the verification or customer’s promise of immediate payment sufficient to bring the account balance below the credit limit and current, and cover the amount of the advance. Here are some basic guidelines to help make your decision.

 

  Verification means obtaining a Fed reference number from the sending bank, a 12 digit reference ID for an on-line payment, a MTCN from Western Union, trace number for an EFT or Cust ACH, or check copy with an overnight tracking number, obtaining written confirmation from a bank or factoring company, etc.

 

  If the need for an advance is created due to a Comdata error, grant advance up to the amount of the error.

 

  Accounts in good standing* - grant advance for amount requested, not to exceed 50% of current credit limit or $25,000 whichever is less.

 

  Accounts not in good standing – decline the advance. An exception might be a minimal amount ($1,000) to move a driver off of a pump.

 

  Advances should not be granted to companies set up within the last 3 months. An exception to this guideline would be a Comdata error or perhaps an extension to move a driver off of a pump.

 

  Request for advances during normal business hours should be directed to the Inbound Collections Group.

If the customer needs more than $25,000, the account should be referred to a supervisor or above. If a customer fails to deliver on a promised payment, the supervisor should elevate the situation to senior management immediately.

*Definition of “good standing”:

 

    The account must be current.

 

    If Proprietary account, a “good” account will show the Date of Last Payment on the GEAC Customer Information screen less than 10 days ago. If MasterCard, the Date of Last Payment shown on the AA screen will be less than 11, 21, or 41 days depending upon what is shown as weekly, semi monthly, or monthly bill.

 

    No outstanding NSF’s or multiple returned payments within the last 60 days

 

    No derogatory comments, i.e., DO NOT TEMP shown on the AA screen. If the DO NOT TEMP comment is older than 6 months, check with a supervisor to determine if the comment is still valid.

ALL ADVANCES MUST BE ACCOMPANIED BY A BILLTEMP COMMENT IN ECREDIT - UNLESS THE TEMP IS THE RESULT OF AN ERROR OR A MASTERCARD ACCOUNT. (In the event eCredit is not available; the BILLTEMP comment should be placed in Telemar)

This service is not intended to be available for the routine/repetitive daily management of an account. It should be considered the exception rather than the rule.

Temporary advances should not be abused, and granted only if the need is genuine and justified. Here are some basic guidelines to help make your decision.

 

    If the need for an advance is created due to a Comdata error, grant advance up to the amount of the error.

 

    If a Western Union Quick Collect (customer should have an MTCN#) or on-line payment (customer should have a 12 digit reference id) can be verified, grant the advance up to the amount of the payment.

 

    Accounts in good standing* - grant advance for amount requested, not to exceed $2,000.

 

    Accounts not in good standing – decline the advance.

 

    Suspended accounts are not eligible for advances.

WEEKEND/HOLIDAY & TEMPORARY LIMIT ADVANCES

At times, it is necessary to provide more than a temporary advance (an advance that will be required to stay on the customer’s account for more than 24 hours) and one that will continue and allow for transactions to occur after the nightly credit file rebuild. When this situation arises the advance must be placed on the credit limit, that is, the limit must be increased. The ability to change limits is restricted to credit desk associates, credit analysts, supervisors and above. Limit changes must be approved by an associate with the appropriate credit authority. When a limit is changed, it is important to reduce and change the limit back to its original amount. The following describes the process for the changes.

 

    Customer makes request for a holiday or weekend advance or a CDN associate determines the need.

 

    If time permits, this request should go to the appropriate sales rep and then to the credit department as a credit request. (If the request is more than 48 hours before the temporary limit advance is needed) The request is made of the associate with the appropriate credit authority. (A table showing these levels is below.)

 

    The appropriate associate with credit authority will decision the increase and if approved, send an email to the Credit Desk with the day and time to remove the increase. Unless otherwise noted, the credit desk will remove/change the limit to its original amount and place a temporary advance in the amount of the remaining available.

 

    Appropriate notes should be made in eCredit.

 

    Regardless if the limit change is temporary or permanent, if the account is past due, then it must be escalated to an associate with appropriate credit authority for a decision before any change is made.

If a payment for an account needing a limit change is already in-house on another account, or if the payment has been verified, there is not a need for credit approval, however, the email should still be sent to the credit desk to reduce/change the limit back. The Credit Desk will not make the changes unless all information is provided in the email.

SECTION V – NEW ACCOUNT PROCESSING

Overview

Credit personnel are responsible for analyzing the credit qualifications of applicants in accordance with established policy and procedure. The ultimate goal is to develop creative yet prudent methods of qualifying the majority of applicants as expeditiously as possible within an acceptable degree of risk. Various requirements and procedures utilized to accomplish this task are as follows:

Applicants

Minimum Credit Review Requirements

Credit Review Prerequisites

 

  Customer must complete and sign a Customer Agreement. (Exhibit 9)

 

  Customer must complete and sign the approved form of credit application.

 

  Incomplete applications are returned to the Sales Representatives.

Bankruptcy Issues

No bankrupt applicant will be approved on an unsecured basis unless the existing contract has been assumed. “Hard” security acknowledging the customer as a “Debtor in Possession” must be provided and all remittances must be made with collected funds. The bankrupt applicant’s credit line will equal the security amount.

The establishment of a Comcash account (pre-pay) with remittances via collected funds only is another option for a bankrupt company.

Previous Comdata Experience

Comdata recognizes that in the competitive marketplace, occasions will arise whereby the Credit Department will be asked to review companies or individuals with whom we have had previous business dealings. On these occasions, the Credit Department will conduct a diligent review of the history of the account or individual, and all factors, both positive and negative, will be considered before a renewal of the business relationship will be undertaken.

No applicant will be approved if they were a previous customer of Comdata whose former Comdata account still reflects an unpaid balance or charge off. These accounts are usually identified when the credit associate does a search in the STAR database. This database houses all Comdata accounts that have been sent to the claims department. The extension of credit on a secured or prepaid basis with payments remitted via collected funds will be considered providing the former customer pays the outstanding balance or charge off amount and legal fees in full. In either case, the account will be reinstated subject to “Hard Hold”.

Note: We are barred from collecting debts that have been discharged in bankruptcy.

Financial Statements

Unsecured credit can also be extended to a prospect or customer based upon financial statements reflecting adequate financial strength to support the needed credit line. Numerous variables affect the credit decision process. Therefore, it should be noted that financial statement analysis is only one dimension of the review process. The provision of complete financial documentation greatly expedites the credit decision process. Financial statements should always be requested from every new applicant requesting unsecured credit of $50K or greater.

Financial statement requirements that facilitate the review process would include the following:

 

    Audited or CPA prepared financial statements including Accountants Opinion Letter, Balance Sheet (Assets, Liabilities, Net Worth), Income Statement (Profit & Loss Statement, Cash flow Statement, Accountants Notes) are preferred. The minimal financial information should include a balance sheet and income statement. An applicant/customer must provide review quality financial statements for unsecured credit requests of $250,000 or more up to $999,999. For unsecured credit requests of $1,000,000 or more, audited financial statements are required. However, if an annual review is due and audited financial statements are not available, then the credit department may commence its review with internally prepared financial statements and set a credit line expiration for up to 120 days in order to review the audited financial statements. If during the annual review, it is determined that an audit will not be completed, then reviewed, compiled, or internally prepared financial statements will be used to complete the annual review regardless of the unsecured credit limit exposure.

 

    If statements prepared by an outside accountant are not available, internally prepared statements should be accompanied by a signed statement from an officer of the company indicating the statements are true and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles

 

    The name on the financial statements and contract should match.

 

    Applicant/customer should ideally provide two fiscal year end financial statements and an interim financial statement with a comparable period if the last fiscal statement is over six months old to facilitate a trend analysis.

 

    If the customer initially declines the provision of financial statements, efforts will be made to obtain the financial information via the use of a Confidentiality Agreement.

 

    If direct financials are still declined, an effort will be made to obtain summary financial information.

The financial information supplied to Comdata on credit limits between $50K and 99K will be input into eCredit wherein certain financial ratios are computed.

The financial information supplied to Comdata on credit limits of $100K or greater will be input into an Excel generated credit memorandum or eCredit.

Customers should be aware that all information provided to Comdata will be held in strictest confidence and will not be released to any third party without the written consent of the customer.

Procedural Handling of Applications

Data Entry

 

  Credit Implementation Representatives (“CIR’s”) receive New Account Applications from the Sales Department or the Sales Department enters the New Account Application into I Connect Data (“ICD”) also known as eCredit Online Application.

 

  Customer Application data is entered into eCredit by the CIR’s unless the Sales Department has already entered the request within the eCredit Online Application.

 

  After the credit request has been entered into eCredit or entered online, the request is automatically transferred to a work queue within eCredit. The prospect’s application documentation is placed in a centralized inbox assigned to the Credit Supervisors or attached in ICD if the application is processed online.

General Credit Review Activity

 

  The Credit Supervisors review the specific work queue(s) throughout the day and pick up the application documentation folders from the centralized inbox. The Credit Supervisor can distinguish between online and manually entered credit applications and assigns the prospect to a Credit Analyst by placing the prospect in the Credit Analyst’s work queue and providing the Credit Analyst with the application documentation folder.

 

  The Credit Analysts review the requests.

 

  Credit decisions are documented within eCredit, the system of record for credit approvals.

 

  Financial information is more readily available on a Large Commercial entity.

 

  Financial information is generally limited in nature or not readily available on the Small Commercial businesses. Credit Bureau Reports are frequently utilized to make a credit decision on the small credit line applications due to the lack of credit information on the business.

 

  Generally, different review approaches are taken when reviewing a Large Commercial entity versus a Small Commercial business.

Large Commercial Credit Review Activity on prospects with Credit Limits of $100K or greater

 

  The Credit Analyst inputs available financial data into the standard pre-formatted excel review template or into financial profile review template in eCredit

 

  The Credit Analyst completes a quantitative and qualitative financial statement analysis on the customer when possible. Consider the following questions during the financial statement analysis process:

Has the entity been in operation and under present control for three years or more?

Has management indicated qualifications to run this or comparable business profitably?

Is tangible net worth adequate to support operations?

Is working capital adequate to support operations?

Does cash flow sufficiently cover current maturity of long term debt?

Has the recent operating trend (Sales & Earnings) been favorable?

Is bank and trade experience favorable?

Is the financial analysis prepared from direct financial statements?

Are remittances paid by the contractual customer?

 

  Determine the recommended credit line for the account based upon the anticipated monthly volume, billing cycle and method of payment. Attempt to qualify a slight buffer to accommodate volume spikes.

 

  Conclude the review with an appropriate recommendation to: a) approve a specified credit line, b) conditionally approve a specified credit line, or c) decline the application for credit. Conditions for approval must be reflected in the review for those applicants being conditionally approved.

 

  Unless declined, all new credit requests are Approved Conditional Commitment in eCredit. The Credit Analyst includes any additional conditions within the decision in eCredit, which is subsequently emailed to the Sales Team. All Pre-Funding Conditions are documented in the Notes section of eCredit under the category ‘Approval Contingencies’. Certain conditional items, such as contracts, are understood on all deals and not identified specifically in the decision email. The final Approving Authority will add a new credit limit and input a next review date into eCredit.

 

  After decisioning the credit request, the Credit Analyst must close out the Analyst Work Queue Task Activities within eCredit. After the Pre-Funding Conditions are met, the Credit Implementation Representative completes the account set up process in eCredit and all other applicable systems.

 

  The current Credit Approval Authority in effect will govern reviews.

Small Commercial Credit Review Activity

 

  Obtain an updated Credit Bureau Report (CBR) on the principal and/or guarantor if authorized by the principal or guarantor.

 

  Request financial information for review if the credit line required is too high to be qualified solely upon a CBR report and score. If received, process the financial data in eCredit.

 

  Determine the recommended credit line for the account based upon the anticipated monthly volume, billing cycle and method of payment. Attempt to qualify a slight buffer to accommodate volume spikes.

 

  Conclude the review with an appropriate recommendation to: a) approve a specified credit line, b) conditionally approve a specified credit line, or c) decline the application for credit. Conditions for approval must be reflected in the review for those applicants being conditionally approved.

 

  Unless declined, all new credit requests are Approved Conditional Commitment in eCredit.

Adverse Actions

Declining an application constitutes an adverse action under the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA). The following notifications must be given, either orally or in writing, to applicants that had gross revenue of $1,000,000 or less:

 

  a) A statement of the action taken.

 

  b) The name and address of the creditor.

 

  c) A statement of the provisions of section 701(a) of the ECOA (see below).

 

  d) The name and address of the federal agency that administers compliance with respect to the creditor (Federal Trade Commission – address below).

 

  e) 1) A statement of the specific reasons for the action taken, or 2) a disclosure of the applicant’s right to a statement of specific reasons within 30 days, if the statement is requested within 60 days of the creditor’s notification. The disclosure shall include the name, address, and phone number of the person or office from which the statement of reasons can be obtained.

Alternatively, disclosure of an applicant’s right to a statement of reasons may be given at the time of application instead of when adverse action is taken, provided that the disclosure is in a form that the applicant may retain, and contains the information required in (c), (d), and (e)(2) above.

The following notification, either orally or in writing, is sufficient for applicants that had gross revenues in excess of $1,000,000 or for credit incident to a factoring agreement:

 

  a) Notify the applicant within a reasonable time of the action taken

 

  b) Provide a written statement of the reasons for the adverse action and the section 701(a) statement (see below) if the applicant makes a written request for the reasons within 60 days of being notified of the adverse action.

Section 701(a) Statement

NOTICE: The Federal Equal Credit Opportunity Act prohibits creditors from discriminating against credit applicants on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, marital status, age (provided the applicant has the capacity to enter into a binding contract); because all or a part of the applicant’s income derives from any public assistance program; or because the applicant has in good faith exercised any right under the Consumer Credit Protection Act. The federal agency that administers compliance with this law concerning this creditor is the Federal Trace Commission, Equal Credit Opportunity, Washington, D.C. 20580.

ECOA requires that credit applications be maintained for 12 months after notifying an application of an adverse action. Comdata maintains its denied credit applications and credit files for three months within the Credit Department and then shipped applications/credit files to storage with a destroy date of seven years.

Override Procedures

The sales representative may appeal a “decline” or “conditional approval” decision. The override process is as follows:

 

  Sales Associate initiates the appeal to the respective Director of Sales (DS).

 

  DS reviews the file and determines if the appeal process should proceed.

 

  DS contacts the analyst to discuss and set up a meeting with the DS, sales rep, analyst and Credit Supervisor.

 

  All parties above jointly review and discuss the credit decision to determine if an error exists in analysis or policy non-compliance.

 

  A new decision will be forthcoming immediately according to policy if an analysis error or policy non-compliance issue is identified.

 

  A judgmental yet prudent (business) decision will be made if no analytical error or policy non-compliance issue is discovered.

 

  If the Credit Supervisor overrides the original credit decision and the recommended credit line is within the Credit Supervisor’s authority level, signatory authorization from the Credit Supervisor will be obtained and the account established.

 

  The DS will have the option of presenting the application to the VP of Credit if the original decision remains unchanged.

 

  A judgmental yet prudent (business) decision will be made by the VP of Credit based upon the available information.

 

  If the VP of Credit overrides the original credit decision and the recommended credit line is within the VP of Credit’s authority level, signatory authorization from the VP of Credit will be obtained and the account established

 

  If the VP of Credit sustains the initial credit decision, the DS and VP of Sales have the option of taking the application to the Sr. VP of Credit & Collections for consideration

 

  The DS and VP of Sales have the option of presenting the application to the Sr. VP of Credit and Collections if the original decision remains unchanged.

 

  A judgmental yet prudent (business) decision will be made by the Sr. VP of Credit and Collections based upon the available information.

 

  If the Sr. VP of Credit and Collections overrides the original credit decision and the recommended credit line is within the Sr. VP of Credit and Collection’s authority level, signatory authorization from the Sr. VP of Credit and Collections will be obtained and the account established.

 

  If the Sr. VP of Credit and Collections sustains the initial credit decision, the VP of Sales has the option of taking the application the Executive VP of Sales and subsequently to the President of Comdata for final consideration.

 

  If the President of Comdata overrides the original credit decision, signatory authorization from the President of Comdata is obtained and the account management parameters (maximum account balance, etc) are specified in writing regarding the ongoing business relationship subject to the credit authority matrix.

Branded Debit Procedures

After Credit has approved a new branded debit account, the approval decision is provided to the Sales Team. Terms provided are (1) payroll – prepaid collected funds and (2) one-off’s and fees – CDN ACH. The Prepaid Operations Team is responsible for setting up new Branded Debit accounts in the OpenWay system. After the account set up process, Prepaid Operations will notify Credit via email to set the approved credit limit for one-off payroll items and fees.

The Credit Analyst must first review the decision in eCredit to verify that the credit limit Prepaid Operations has requested is consistent with the approved limit. Secondly, the Credit Analyst must verify that the payment method established for one-off items and fees is CDN ACH. The VP-Credit must approve any payment method other than CDN ACH.

SECTION VI – EXISTING CUSTOMER MANAGEMENT

Overview

Credit personnel are responsible for continually monitoring the credit-worthiness of existing customers in accordance with established policy and procedure via an annual and volume review process. The objective is the early detection and minimization of unacceptable risks. Such a practice also enables the credit department to proactively address a customer’s credit requirements to help minimize service interruption. The various account management issues and the procedures utilized to manage customer accounts are as follows:

Customer Management Issues

Review Frequency

 

  Scheduled Annual reviews will be conducted on all accounts whose unsecured credit line is $100,000 or more at least annually.

 

  Reviews will be conducted on an interim basis as needed to address the adequacy of credit lines for billing volume changes.

Bankruptcy Issues

If an existing unsecured customer files Chapter 11 or 13 bankruptcy, the account is immediately suspended and transferred to claims. The pre-petition charges are moved to a separate account and a proof of claim is submitted to the bankruptcy court covering the pre-petition debt. If the customer desires to continue using the account, at Comdata’s discretion, the customer can be allowed to continue the use of his existing Comdata account under a new contract with the debtor in possession, on a pre-paid basis via collected funds only, or the existing contract may be assumed.

If an existing customer, whose account is secured by an Irrevocable Bank Letter of Credit or Bond, files Chapter 11 or 13 bankruptcy, the credit line is immediately suspended. The pre-petition charges are moved to a separate account and a claim is filed on the respective security. At Comdata’s discretion, the customer can be allowed to continue the use of his existing Comdata account under new contract with the debtor in possession, on a pre-paid basis via collected funds only, or the existing contract may be assumed.

Bankrupt customers are also given the opportunity to provide court approved post-petition “Hard” security recognizing the bankrupt as a debtor in possession in lieu of remitting on a pre-pay basis. Remittances must always be in collected funds and the account must always be subject to an account specific credit limit.

Existing Account Hard Hold Criteria

 

  All accounts can be placed subject to an account specific credit limit. The Senior Vice President of Credit & Collections must approve all exceptions.

Temporary Credit Line Increase Requests

Reference Section V for the procedures and decision tree associated with the temporary credit line increase process.

Name Change Requirements

Any company wishing to change the name of their account, as it appears in our system, must provide the following:

 

  A new credit application reflecting new legal name.

 

  A written explanation of and for the name change. This letter must be signed by an officer of the company, or, in the case of a personal account, by the person who is responsible for the payment of the account.

 

  An amendment reflecting the name change should be executed and signed by the appropriate officer of the company.

 

  Any security held by Comdata for the old account must be updated (amended) to reflect the new name of the account.

 

  The customer’s permanent file must be checked for most recent updated information & application to verify if there are any changes in ownership (refer to the Ownership Change Requirements section of this policy).

 

  If unsecured credit is extended based on principal information or financials that has changed, you must re-qualify as new business with credit pulled under new ownership (refer to the Ownership Change Requirements section of this policy).

 

  Refer to legal department if a question arises regarding a name change vs. new legal entity.

Ownership Change Requirements

Comdata Credit and Collections should be apprised of ownership changes to determine the appropriate activities needed to properly address the ownership/acquisition changes. Associates inside or outside the Credit Department should promptly notify the Manager of Portfolio Risk Management.

If an unsecured credit line has been extended based on principal information and based on financial statements and that has changed, the business must re-qualify as a new business.

If an unsecured credit line has been extended and an acquisition calls for additional unsecured credit to be extended, a credit review must be completed. However, a credit review may also need to be conducted depending on the details surrounding the acquisition.

The following information is not all-inclusive, but should be provided to the Credit department to initiate their review process:

 

    Sales should submit a credit request to the Credit Department if additional unsecured credit is needed or if the limit needs to be reduced

 

    A written statement, outlining the type of ownership change, the cost of the acquisition and how the acquisition was financed. See below.

 

    In the event credits are listed on the account (e.g., Comcash balances), our correspondence must indicate that these credits are assets being transferred to the “new name” account.

 

    In the event the company being sold was bought as an asset purchase, Collections Management should be notified to determine how to collect any receivables still owed. This could include the following actions:

account suspension, make contact with Principal(s) of Selling entity, make contact with any and all personal guarantors, and make contact with new buyer if additional leverage is needed to collect the outstanding balance.

 

    In the event the company is being sold as a stock purchase, Collections may suspend the account until there is an agreement on how the outstanding balance will be paid.

Proprietorships and Partnerships:

What agreement was made between the buyer and seller regarding debts (specifically Comdata) incurred prior to the change in ownership?

Procedural Handling of Reviews

Annual Reviews

File Preparation

    Financial Statements

Is the name appearing on the most recently submitted financial statement the same as that appearing on last year’s financial statement?

Is the financial information audited, unaudited, compiled, reviewed, etc.?

Is the financial information combined, consolidated, etc.?

Verify that the financial data utilized in the review is comparative to the financial data submitted for review the previous year.

Did the customer change accounting firms?

Is there an “On-going Concern” disclaimer in the accountant’s report?

 

    Credit Reference Considerations (If Applicable)

Review third party commercial bureau reports for indications of ownership change, name change, or pay performance deterioration.

Obtain updated CBR information if the account was originally established based upon CBR data.

The decision to obtain direct credit references, whether bank or trade related, is dependent upon the need for additional detailed reference data to make a final decision, and the size of the anticipated credit exposure.

Review direct trade reference responses, if available, for any deterioration in pay performance from that previously reported. (Request trade references as deemed necessary)

Call the customer’s banker for more in-depth information if the information on the bank’s written response is insufficient. Possible questions for banker are as follows:

Is the customer in compliance with the various loan covenants?

What is the average collected checking balance?

Is there an overdraft or NSF check history?

Are interest rates fixed or variable?

If variable, is there an established interest ceiling?

Check The Credit Exchange trade association data

Verify the name on the security instrument matches the name of our contractual customer

Verify that the security instrument has not expired

Verify the amount of the security instrument and the expiration date is correctly reflected in eCredit and on the “A” screen

Annual Reviews are completed on all unsecured credit limits of $100K or greater.

 

    Credit Analyst utilizes the standard pre-formatted excel review template or the financial profile review template in eCredit to perform the annual review process

 

    The Credit Analyst inputs available financial data into the standard pre-formatted excel review template or into financial profile review template in eCredit.

 

    The Credit Analyst completes a quantitative and qualitative financial statement analysis on the customer when possible. Consider the following questions during the financial statement analysis process:

Has the entity been in operation and under present control for three years or more?

Has management indicated qualifications to run this or comparable business profitably?

Is tangible net worth adequate to support operations?

Is working capital adequate to support operations?

Does cash flow sufficiently cover current maturity of long term debt?

Has the recent operating trend (Sales & Earnings) been favorable?

Is bank and trade experience favorable?

Is the financial analysis prepared from direct financial statements?

Are remittances paid by the contractual customer?

 

    Verify the volume of each billing level account and review for payment performance against the existing contract, i.e., payment frequency and method.

 

    Adjust the credit line of each billing level account based upon the volume, billing cycle and method of payment. Attempt to qualify a slight buffer to accommodate volume spikes.

 

    Conclude the review with an appropriate recommendation to a) maintain the existing line, b) increase the credit line, c) decrease the credit line, d) obtain security, e) drop the security requirement, f) alter billing cycle, g) alter method of payment, or h) a combination of the aforementioned recommendations.

    Upon completion of the scheduled review, a new review date will be scheduled to correspond with the availability of the customer’s fiscal year end financials approximately 90 days following the customer’s fiscal year end. Interim reviews will be scheduled if deemed necessary.

 

    Secured accounts are to be reviewed one month prior to the expiration of the security instrument.

 

    The completed file is routed to the next Credit Approval Authority level for signature if applicable.

 

    When approved, the credit analyst inputs updates regarding credit lines and security amounts into eCredit, and the “A” system.

 

    The current Credit Approval Authority in effect will govern reviews.

 

    Adverse action – if an adverse action such as decreasing the credit line or requiring security is taken, certain disclosures may be required. See Declined Applications and Adverse Action section (Section V).

Volume Reviews

File Preparation

 

    An investigation is made to determine if the volume excess is a result of a) increased business volume or b) account delinquency.

 

    No formal review or credit line adjustment is completed if the volume excess is only delinquency related. The Collection Supervisor will be apprised of the inability to raise the customer’s credit line. The Collection Supervisor will inform the Collector of the credit line review decision and instruct them to maintain the account within its assigned credit line.

 

    If the volume excess is truly attributable to increased business volume, a formal review will be initiated.

 

    Verify the date of the most recent financial information available in the customer’s file

 

    Request updated financial information to complete the volume review if the available financial information is to stale-dated. A request for updated financial information and/or credit reference information will depend upon a) the timeliness of existing information, and b) the severity of the problem.

SECTION VII – SECURITY PROCEDURES

Security

Security is requested when the available information (financial and/or credit history) indicate the credit-worthiness of a prospect/customer is considered inadequate to establish an unsecured line of credit. Security may also be requested when an applicant declines to provide sufficient financial data needed to determine credit-worthiness. Security Options are classified as “Hard” or “Soft”. The various types of “Hard” and “Soft” security and their respective minimum requirements, characteristics, and maintenance procedures are as follows:

“Hard” Security

Irrevocable/Standby Bank Letters of Credit

Minimum Requirements:

 

    Letter of Credit must be our form – any deviations should be reviewed by Legal.

 

    Letter of credit must be on bank letterhead

 

    Letter of credit must indicate an expiration date

 

    Letter of credit must reflect its letter of credit number assigned by the bank

 

    Letter of credit must be dated and signed by an authorized bank officer

 

    Letter of credit must be the original instrument. Credit will not be extended to a new account based upon a “fax” or “copy” of the security instrument

 

    Customer’s name on the letter of credit and the name on the customer agreement must match exactly

 

    Letter of Credit must be subject to ISP98.

 

    The bank providing the LC will be contacted to verify the authenticity of the instrument. Verification will be made regarding the a) customer’s name, b) benefactor’s name, c) Irrevocable credit number, d) security amount, e) expiration date, and d) the banker’s authorization to sign the instrument.

Characteristics:

 

    An Irrevocable Letter of Credit (“LC”) is an excellent form of security Comdata can obtain to insure the payment of debt.

 

    The customer applies for a letter of credit at his local bank. If approved, the bank generally charges the customer an annual fee of 1%-2%+ of the instrument’s face amount for this service. In many instances, the customer is required to provide the bank security. If the customer has an established working capital facility at the bank, the availability of funds in the working capital facility is reduced by the amount of the letter of credit.

 

    Note that the irrevocable nature of the letter of credit does not allow the customer or customer’s bank to prematurely cancel the letter of credit prior to the instrument’s expiration date. The banking institution is obligated to honor Comdata’s claim on the letter of credit if a claim is filed prior to the expiration date. The bank is under no obligation to honor a claim if the claim is filed subsequent to the instrument’s expiration date.

VERSION: 17    PAGE    62
ORIGINAL POLICY DATE: 09/30/1999    REVISION DATE: 08/15/2014
SUBJECT: CREDIT & COLLECTIONS POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

 

Maintenance Procedures:

 

    Verification will be made to insure that the Comdata customer’s name appearing on the letter of credit is identical to that of our contractual customer.

 

    Verification will be made to insure that the benefactor’s name (Comdata Network, Inc.) is correctly reflected on the security instrument and that no alterations have been made by the banking institution to our standard letter of credit format.

 

    The bank providing the LC will be contacted via phone to verify the authenticity of the instrument in an effort to prevent our acceptance of fraudulent security instruments. Verification will be made regarding the a) customer’s name, b) beneficiary’s name, c) Irrevocable credit number, d) security amount, e) expiration date, and d) the banker’s authorization to sign the instrument

 

    The bank will also be verified through the following website:

 

    http://www2.fdic.gov/crapes/

The ratings are as follows (any financial institution with a rating of Needs to Improve or below (should be approved by Manager, Portfolio Risk prior to acceptance of the LOC):

 

Rating    Lending    Investment    Service
Outstanding    12 points    6 points    6 points
High Satisfactory    9 points    4 points    4 points
Low Satisfactory    6 points    3 points    3 points
Needs to Improve    3 points    1 point    1 point
Substantial Noncompliance    0 points    0 points    0 points

 

    Appropriate follow up 45 days prior to the expiration of the security will be initiated to ensure undue risk to Comdata is avoided. Reminder letters will be sent to the customer requesting that the security instrument be renewed by a specific date. A copy of each customer’s LC renewal request letter will be sent to the respective banking institution requesting the LC renewal amendment.

 

    A copy of the LC will be retained in the customer’s file while the original instrument is stored with all other original security instruments in a secure location.

Bonds

Minimum Requirements:

 

    Bonds must be our form – any deviations should be reviewed by Legal.

 

    Bond must have a bond number

 

    Bond must be signed

 

    Customer’s name on the bond and the name on the customer agreement must match exactly

 

    Bond must contain an unrestricted/unlimited power of attorney and the insurance company’s seal (no exceptions).

 

    Bond and Power of Attorney must be the original instruments. Credit will not be extended to a new account based upon a “fax” or “copy” of the security instrument

 

    The “Best’s Key Rating Guide” of Property-Casualty Insurance Companies will be utilized to verify the strength of the institution backing a bond instrument

    The insurer’s AM Best Rating must be “A-” or greater

 

    Any bond from a company with a rating qualifier of “w” or “q” will be rejected regardless of the rating.

 

    The Bond Department of the insurance company providing the security instrument will be contacted annually to verify the authenticity of the instrument. Verification will be made regarding the a) Principal’s name, b) Obligor’s name, c) bond number, d) security amount, and e) receipt of the Power of Attorney.

Characteristics:

 

    A surety or guarantee payment bond represents another form of security accepted by Comdata to help insure the payment of debt. However, this form of security is less desirable than a letter of credit due to settlement delays on the part of insurance companies in paying claims. It usually takes ninety (90) days to one hundred twenty (120) days to receive settlement on a bond claim.

 

    The customer generally contacts his insurance agent to facilitate the procurement of a bond from an insurance company. An annual premium of approximately 2% of the bond’s face amount is charged the customer by his insurance company to provide this security instrument.

 

    Unlike the Irrevocable Bank Letter of Credit, a bond can be cancelled by the issuing institution providing it gives 30 days cancellation notice prior to the cancellation date. Note that the pre-notification period can vary depending upon the contractual agreement. Insurance companies are obligated to honor claims for charges incurred up to the cancellation date even if the claim is actually filed subsequent to the specified cancellation date.

Maintenance Procedures:

 

    Verification will be made to ensure that the Principal’s name appearing on the security instrument matches the name of our contractual customer and that no alterations have been made by the insurance company to our standard bond format.

 

    The Bond Department of the insurance company will be contacted to verify the authenticity of the bond in an effort to prevent fraudulent security instruments. Verification will be made regarding the a) Principal’s name, b) Obligor’s name, c) bond number, d) security amount, and e) receipt of the Power of Attorney.

 

    The “Best’s Key Rating Guide” of Property-Casualty Insurance Companies will be utilized to verify the strength of the institution backing a bond instrument. The insurer’s AM Best Rating must be “A-” or greater.

 

    If an insurer’s A M Best Rating is trending unfavorably over a consecutive three year period and drops below the minimum acceptable rating value, Comdata will discontinue accepting bonds from that insurance company until consistent improvement is noted in the rating trend.

 

    A copy of the bond will be retained in the customer’s file while the original instrument is stored with all other original security instruments in a secure location.

Cash Deposits

Minimum Requirements:

 

    Deposit must be established with “collected” funds

Wire Transfer

ACH Credit

Western Union Quick Collect

    Comdata will not pay interest on cash deposits

 

    Credit will not be extended to a new account based upon a commitment to send collected funds until collected funds are received by Comdata

Characteristics:

Comdata readily accepts cash deposits via “collected funds” from customers to secure debt repayment. Note that the cash deposit is not a form of prepayment as is the case with a Comcash account. Upon receipt, the cash deposit is recorded on the general ledger as a true deposit to be utilized as security for non-payment of an account. The cash deposit does not remain on the customer’s account as a credit.

Should the customer subsequently file bankruptcy, the cash deposit can only be utilized to clear pre-petition charges. The bankruptcy court must be petitioned for permission to apply the cash deposit to the pre-petition debt. A bankrupt customer must petition the court to provide a post-petition cash deposit in order for Comdata to be safely secured on a post-petition basis.

Maintenance Procedures:

Comdata will refund the deposit less any amount owed if the customer discontinues using our services.

Unless the customer’s account is established on a partially secured basis, the cash deposit amount generally equates to the customer’s credit line.

“Soft Security”

Corporate Guaranty

Minimum Requirements:

 

    Corporate guaranties must be written using Comdata’s pre-approved guaranty format

 

    The guaranty must be completed; signed, sealed with the corporate seal, and notarized

 

    The corporate Guaranty must be accompanied by a properly executed Corporate Resolution (Exhibit 4)

 

    A review of the guarantor’s financial condition will be conducted prior to the acceptance of a guaranty agreement

 

    Credit approval must first be obtained based upon the financial strength of a guaranteeing corporation

Characteristics:

 

    A corporate guaranty is not merely an enhancement to the customer’s credit; a guaranty is the reason or basis for extending credit to the customer. A guaranty is a separate contract between the guarantor and Comdata whereby the guarantor agrees to pay the debt of the Comdata customer or fulfill the customer’s obligations under the contract between the customer and Comdata.

 

    The guaranty should be contained in a separate document and should not be included as part of the underlying contract between the Comdata company and the customer.

Maintenance Procedures:

 

    Verify the Corporate Guaranties are written using Comdata’s pre-approved guaranty format

 

    Verify that the guaranty is signed, sealed with the corporate seal, and notarized

 

    Verify the Corporate Guaranty is accompanied by a properly executed Corporate Resolution (Exhibit E4)

 

    Since a guaranty is no better than a guarantor’s ability to pay should the debtor default, a review of the guarantor’s financial condition and credit-worthiness will be conducted prior to the acceptance of a guaranty agreement. Approval must first be obtained based upon the financial strength of the guarantor.

 

    Comdata does not equate the value of a Corporate Guaranty with an Irrevocable Bank Letter of Credit, Bond, or a cash deposit.

 

    On all unsecured credit limits of $100K or greater, Comdata will review updated financial information on the customer and guarantor on an annual basis to re-qualify the credit line. The guarantor will be reminded annually of his contingent obligation by our request for financial data.

 

    In the event of default, Comdata will apprise the guarantor promptly of the debtor’s delinquency and solicit the guarantor’s assistance in resolving the problem.

Personal Guaranty

Minimum Requirements:

 

    Personal guaranties must be written using Comdata’s pre-approved guaranty format

 

    The guaranty must be completed and signed.

 

    A review of the guarantor’s financial condition will be conducted prior to the acceptance of a guaranty agreement

 

    Credit approval must first be obtained based upon the financial strength of the guarantor and a satisfactory CBR report.

 

    The guarantor’s spouse will be required to sign the guaranty if jointly owned property is relied on to satisfy Comdata’s standard of credit-worthiness.

Characteristics:

 

    Essentially the same financial and contractual considerations are reviewed to determine the acceptability of a personal guaranty as those pertaining to the acceptability of a corporate guaranty. The guarantor must be financially responsible or the guaranty is worthless.

 

    A personal guaranty is not merely an enhancement to the customer’s credit; a guaranty is the reason or basis for extending credit to the customer. A guaranty is a separate contract between the guarantor and Comdata whereby the guarantor agrees to pay the debt of the Comdata customer or fulfill the customer’s obligations under the contract between the customer and Comdata.

 

    The guaranty should be contained in a separate document and should not be included as part of the underlying contract between the Comdata company and the customer.

Maintenance Procedures:

 

    Since a guaranty is no better than a guarantor’s ability to pay should the debtor default, a review of the guarantor’s financial condition and credit-worthiness will be conducted prior to the acceptance of a guaranty agreement.

 

    A credit bureau report should be obtained on the guarantor as part of the review process. Note that the guarantor must provide written permission for Comdata to pull their personal CBR report.

 

    If property is jointly owned, the spouse’s guaranty is generally required to provide attachable assets. Both husband and wife must sign as guarantors if jointly owned property is involved, even if a spouse operates as a proprietorship. Note that each guarantor must provide written permission for Comdata to pull his or her respective personal CBR report.

 

    Legal counsel should be contacted if doubt exists as to the validity of a husband or wife guaranteeing their spouse’s debts.

 

    Guaranty should never be used as substitutes for needed capital.

General Security Information:

Comdata will maintain a record of those accounts that have provided security. A separate record will be maintained for each security type.

A record of aggregate credit exposure will be maintained on each issuer of security to allow Comdata to monitor our composite exposure more effectively.

Full security is defined as a letter of credit, bond, or cash deposit equal to the credit line as defined. No formal financial statement credit review is required on a fully secured account. (All fully secured accounts should be subject to hard hold.)

Any company that does not provide full security falls under the regular Comdata review and control procedures.

The a) amount, b) type and c) expiry date (if applicable) of security instruments will be loaded on the “A” screen to aid in the identification of secured accounts.

eCredit collateral records are maintained and a report is generated monthly identifying accounts with security on file.

Security will be clearly reflected on every Customer Agreement.

Methods of Remittance

Check

A check is a written order by a customer to the customer’s bank to pay a specified sum on demand to Comdata. A check can involve risk since there is no guarantee that the customer has sufficient funds in their bank account to cover the check when presented to the bank for payment.

Cashier’s Check

A cashier’s check is drawn by the bank cashier on the cashier’s own bank. The bank accepts the check as drawee making itself absolutely liable for payment. Comdata need only look to the bank for payment.

ACH Debit

Comdata initiates an automated debit against the customer’s designated bank account. The amount will be withdrawn from the customer’s bank account within two business days. Note that the bank can return ACH remittance to Comdata due to insufficient funds if the customer does not have adequate funds in their bank account to cover the ACH transaction.

ACH Credit

Customer initiates an automated credit from his bank to Comdata’s bank account.

Telephone Debit ACH (EFT)

Customer initiates a payment from anywhere by touch-tone telephone, which authorizes the initiation of a debit against the client’s designated bank account.

Bank Wire Transfer

Customer initiates payment by arranging an electronic transfer of funds from his bank account to that of Comdata. Generally, Comdata receives the wire transfer the same day of the transfer. Comdata considers wire transfers to be collected funds since the customer must have collected funds in their bank account in order to make a transfer.

Western Union Quick Collect

Comdata established a Quick collect commercial Money Transfer account with Western Union to provide value-added service to Comdata customers.

Customers give collected funds to Western Union agents who remit these collected funds via electronic transmission to a file received from Western Union which is then loaded into both the MVS A and GEAC systems.

Speedpay or Check by Phone

Customer calls into the Collections Inbound or Credit Desk to initiate a payment by phone. The information is keyed and verified by the Comdata associate. There is a fee associated with this type of payment. An actual check is printed and deposited in Deposits.

Web Pay (On-Line Payment)

Customers must be approved for this payment method by Credit. The customer is set up with the access and their access is controlled by some flags maintained in the Credit Department. This payment works like an ACH draft.

Telephone Transfer-Available to Canadian Customers

Customer initiates payment on their Comdata account via telephone transfer of funds

The Toronto Dominion Funds Transfer Service Automated Teller prompts the Comdata customer to enter various types of information into the system, which ultimately results in the transfer of funds from the customer’s bank account to Comdata’s bank account.

Comdata receives deposit information from the Toronto Dominion Bank and applies the customer’s remittance to their Comdata account.

Manual Bank Deposit-Available to Canadian Customers

Customer makes a manual deposit at the nearest Toronto Dominion Bank directly into Comdata’s bank account by using Corporate Transfer deposit slips provided by the Toronto Dominion Bank.

Comdata provides deposit instructions to Canadian Comdata customers to assist them in this remittance process.

Comdata receives deposit information from the Toronto Dominion Bank and applies the customer’s remittance to their Comdata account.

Speedpay

Customer makes a telephone call into the Comdata Collections Department. The collector prompts the caller for the needed information, amount, account code, routing transit number, and bank account number. This information is input into the Speedpay Database.

Comdata prints a paper check and these are taken to Deposits for input into the customer account and deposited into Comdata’s Regions bank account.

A customer’s account is debited the day Comdata receives notification of a return and will impact credit availability.

 

  No insufficient funds payments are re-run through the banking system unless documentation is received from the customer’s bank acknowledging that the returned payment is attributable to bank error or the reason for the return is determined to be a Comdata error.

 

  Customers are requested to clear the insufficient funds via collected funds within 1 business day or the account is subject to suspension. Comdata considers the following payment methods acceptable to clear a NSF payment: Western Union Quick Collect, bank wire or a cashier’s check.

 

  A customer’s payment method will change to pay via collected funds if Comdata receives two insufficient funds incidents from the customer within a six-month period. A NSF due to a Comdata error or bank error (this has to be validated on bank letterhead and signed by an officer of the bank) will not be considered an incident. Any associated account that is under the same ownership will also be changed to pay via collected funds only. Comdata allows the following payment methods for collected funds only: Western Union Quick Collect, bank wire or a customer-initiated ACH. (Note: Any exception to the change in payment method due to anything outside of Comdata error must be approved by the Director of Collections or VP of Collections.)

 

  Insufficient funds payments are still considered unpaid if the customer pays only a partial amount for the returned payment. They must pay the full amount to prevent suspension of their credit line within one business day.

 

  Comdata will assess a $20.00 return payment fee for every return payment item unless the returned payment is attributable to a “Stop Payment” request issued by Comdata or some other Comdata error.

 

  Comdata recognizes that a customer could have a returned payment for reasons other than financial insolvency. In order to minimize a disruption of service, Comdata will not suspend service to a customer following a returned payment if all of the below criteria are met:

 

    The customer has no prior history of returned payments with us and has not displayed any signs of insolvency.

 

    The customer is current in paying its obligations to Comdata.

 

    The customer commits to clearing the returned payment via collected funds within one business day.

 

  Comdata will make a conscious effort not to interrupt service for NSF of customers that haul perishable goods without advising them of their alternatives. The decision will be based upon the aforementioned factors.

 

  Comdata will make a conscious effort not to interrupt service for NSF of customers on a Friday. The decision will be based upon the customer’s past payment history, the anticipated additional exposure incurred for weekend transaction activity, and whether the account is classified as fully secured.

 

  Comdata will suspend service to a customer without notice following an insufficient funds payment item if one or all of the below criteria are met:

 

    The return is not paid in full with collected funds within one business day

 

    The telephone number is disconnected

 

    An account has been opened for less than six months and has an insufficient funds payment

 

    There is no answer after two attempts to notify the customer and no valid contact information.

Service Interruption

A customer’s account will be placed on hold when the collection of amounts owed Comdata is significantly at risk and attempts to secure payment have failed. All associated accounts may be subject to the same potential service interruption as specified below.

Conditions for Service Interruption

 

  Customer’s account balance exceeds the established credit limit

 

  Customer files for bankruptcy or is otherwise deemed insolvent

 

  Customer exceeds established payment terms (see below)

 

  Customer provides an insufficient funds payment to Comdata that is not paid within one business day

 

  Customer refuses to provide updated financial statements as required by our contract or refuses to renew an existing letter of credit or bond

 

  Customer is attempting to defraud Comdata

 

  No valid contact number/address

 

  No valid contact number/address and there is no activity on the account

Every effort will be made to give the customer 24-hour notification prior to service interruption. Sales representatives are to be notified by email on all 24-hour notices. Advance notification of service interruption is not required if a customer files for bankruptcy, is otherwise insolvent or is attempting to defraud Comdata. Service is automatically interrupted on “Hard Hold” accounts when their account balance reaches the assigned credit line.

Payment Terms

Each Comdata customer has defined payment terms established based on the method and frequency of payment. A delay in the customer’s payment indicates deterioration in pay performance. Customers not paying within terms will be offered the three following alternatives.

 

  An increase in their transaction fee to compensate Comdata for the additional days of float. (SVP of Credit and Collection and the SVP of Sales must authorize this alternative prior to contacting the customer)

 

  Customer must commit to remit payment via the original payment terms

 

  Customer’s account will be subject to suspension

1. General Credit Policy Statement

FleetCor Technologies will establish a formal Credit Risk Policy & Practice manual in order to provide fair, consistent and sound credit decisions to prospective and existing clients within corporate risk levels established by the FleetCor Executive Committee. We will make extensions of credit available to qualified businesses, government agencies (State, County, Federal, Schools, etc.), and non-profit organizations for purposes of purchasing fuel and related products and services on “credit” through a Charge Card, generally marketed as the Fuelman Fleet Card. Accounts are for business purposes only.

2. New Account Origination

2.1. Types of Applications

We will accept applications submitted on the official FleetCor application—“Application for Fleet Charge Card Account”. These should be completed by the client on the original form when feasible. A PDF and Microsoft Word version are available to send direct to the prospective client however these forms must be printed, signed & dated and faxed to the Credit Department for approval.

2.2. Completed Applications

All credit applications must be complete before credit processing will begin. Applications submitted with missing information may be returned to the originating Fleet Consultant so that they can obtain the necessary information to process the application. Incomplete applications slow the decision process and approval timelines.

2.3. Signatures

Applications must be properly signed by an authorized individual that has the authority to bind the company to this contract.

Business Types There are at least five types or forms of businesses we will accept applications from in our normal course of business. Four of these are structured around the ownership (Sole Proprietorships, Partnerships, LLCs and Corporations). The other group includes non-businesses such as government agencies (State, County, Federal, etc.), Schools or other Non-Profit Organizations.

Requirements

Sole Proprietorships. Partnerships. LLC’s all require signatures in the Authorized Signature section and may require a Personal Guarantee.

Small-Medium Corporations – small [non-Fortune 1000] corporations, typically operating less that twentyfive (25) vehicles, have “clearly recognizable” owner(s). An application from such a corporation will generally require a personal guarantee signature by at least one of the owners who have the authority to bind the company to the liabilities. Any corporation in business less than two years may require a personal guarantee, a deposit or a Letter of Credit should credit report information be insufficient to support the approval process

Large Corporations – (Fortune 1000) corporations have no “clearly recognizable” business owner and thus will generally not provide us with a personal guarantee.

 

3


Government, Schools or Non-Profit Organization – Requires a signature from at least one duly appointed agent, officer or senior official who has the authority to bind the agency, or organization to the liabilities.

On an exception basis, Credit Approval reserves the right to require a Personal Guarantee on any application as it deems necessary to mitigate risk and strengthen the soundness of the credit decision based on our findings through the credit investigation process.

2.4. Submitting Applications

As soon as you have a completed application, fax it to Credit Approval in Norcross. We immediately log the application and begin processing. An application is considered complete if it contains the following information:

 

    Completed Application – both front and back side including all contact information

 

    If EFT:

 

    EFT Authorization Payment Form must be completed and signed

 

    Voided Check

2.5. Credit Decisions:

Credit decision timeframes can range from one to five business days. The components that determine the amount of time required to review a submittal are tied to the completeness of the application, the credit score, length of time to secure the bank and trade references (if required), personal guaranty, EFT documentation, and the requested exposure. Potential client submittals requesting a spend limit of $35,000 or more may be required to submit financial statements in the event the credit reports are insufficient to support the approval process.

2.5.1. Approvals

Applications approved by Credit Approval will be communicated back to the regional offices and Sales Managers through the daily Credit Decision Log. This report reflects any account that has been completely processed, decisioned, EFT forms or Deposits before a final Approval decision is communicated. Generally, accounts will not be approved until all credit related items are completed.

2.5.2. Denials

Any application turned down will receive a decline letter.

2.5.3. Approved Conditionally

Applications in which Credit Approval deems it necessary to require a “risk mitigating factor” such as EFT, Deposit, Personal Guarantee or a Letter of Credit will be communicated back to the Fleet Consultant through the daily Credit Decision Log to gather the necessary information.

Note: In some cases,, approval conditions may not be evident until such lime as the corporate credit report and/or personal guarantor’s credit has been reviewed. It is possible that Credit Approval could require a personal guarantee early in the evaluation, yet upon review of this new information, may decide to further require an EFT or EFT/Deposit before granting an approval.

2.6. Creating a New Account

New accounts may be created or set-up only after Credit Approval authorizes this with an “approval” on the Credit Decision Log. Once an account is set up, New Account Services will mail an approval letter outlining the credit limit, billing & payment terms and Terms & Conditions. It will be sent to the Accounts Payable and/or Fleet Contact so they understand the terms, conditions and payment requirements.

2.7. Releasing Accounts and Cards

Releasing of an account and delivery of cards must also follow the approval by the Credit Approval department.

2.8. Credit Limits

All new accounts will be established with a Credit Limit based on the weekly gallon estimates provided. Credit Limits will be set using the following formula as a general baseline rule:

Weekly Gallon Estimate x # Weeks + 1 Per Terms x Price Per Gallon = Spend Limit

Note: The FleetNet system has a feature that will allow us to set a “cushion” or a shadow limit over and above the actual credit limit that is not communicated to the client. On low to moderately low risk clients, Credit Approval will initially set this cushion amount on accounts to ensure with the volatility of fuel prices, we do not temporarily suspend a good paying client. This should never be communicated to a client, as it will become expected and this tool is a good risk management tool to use for credit expansions on good clients and tighten on slower or high risk clients. Example, a $5,000 Credit limit may have a 125% cushion, or a $6,250 shadow limit, however the client knows they have only the $5,000 limit.

Note 2: Clients requesting limits to accommodate fuel usage at or above a spend limit of $35,000 may be asked to provide recent financials and at least two trade references to assist in establishing credit worthiness in the event the credit reports are insufficient to support the approval process.

2.9. EFT/ACH

In any sales call, the Fleet Consultant should always try to first sell the customer on EFT payments to help improve our cash flow and reduce sales outstanding. Any account that Credit Approval deems a credit risk may be required to be set-up on EFT. EFT Forms – In order to set-up an account on EFT, please provide Credit Approval with a completed and signed EFT form WITH a copy of a voided check. EFT’s will not be processed without a signature and a check. Accounts will not be set-up until this form and check has been received by Credit Approval.

2.10. Deposits (Conditional Approval)

These are clients that have past derogatory credit information and in some circumstances may be recommended for conditional approval. Approvals for deposit accounts are accepted only after a full analysis and review of circumstances surrounding the creditworthiness of the client have been analyzed. Every submittal will not be approved. The Credit Manager and /or the Fleetcor CRO may authorize this exposure. Deposits are simply a hedge against potential loss, but are not fail proof. These are higher risk accounts and are to be managed as such. Once the analyst group has determined that an account will be approved with a deposit, they will communicate this back to the Fleet Consultant. The following rules shall apply:

Terms – Deposit accounts will be billed weekly and are required to be on electronic funds transfer (EFT) status.

Deposit Amount – The amount of deposit should be equal to the amount of the approved spend limit.

 

5


Credit Limit – Accounts with deposits will be set-up with a credit limit equal to the amount of the deposit. Exceeding this limit will not be acceptable and an increase in deposit may be required if the client failed to provide an accurate usage (credit limit) forecast. Maintenance purchases will be part of the credit limit equation if the service is utilized.

Securing a Deposit – If the credit analyst team requires a deposit, the Fleet Consultant will request a deposit from the prospective client. The check should be mailed to the Credit Approval Department in Norcross, GA. The credit approval team will forward the check to Treasury for processing and will notate the Credit Decision Log.

Deposits are NOT to be applied to the client’s account and FleetCor does not pay interest on these deposits.

Refund of Deposits – Deposits may be returned after a period of time, typically twelve to eighteen months. Each account can be reviewed on a case-by-case basis, after establishment of a satisfactory payment history (consistently meeting terms and no NSF checks). The credit analyst team may review a proposed client’s account to possibly release a deposit after receiving a request in writing from the client.

In closing a deposit account, deposits may be returned only after all cards have been returned, the account locked and the accounting/ cash application department has audited the payment status. Authorization from the Credit Manager, CRO and/or the Treasurer are required.

2.11. Personal Guarantors

Personal Guarantees may be required to approve accounts in which Credit Approval deems it necessary to mitigate our risk, and/or hold someone personally liable for payment should the account go in default. In these cases, the guarantor’s section must be completed so that the credit evaluation process can be completed. A personal guarantee, just like a deposit, is not assurance that an account will be approved however it will improve the likelihood of approval.

2.12. Billing Frequency and Payment Terms

Standard Terms offered on all new account requests are:

Weekly Net 14 – WN14: Billed Weekly, Net Due 14 Days

Every effort should be made to adhere to these as our Standard Billing Terms offer. Credit Approval has the final decision in what Billing and Payment terms will be extended and approved.

Other valid Term options are as follows:

Weekly Net 1 – WN1: Billed Weekly, EFT Drafted 1 Day

Weekly Net 7 – WN7: Billed Weekly, Net Due 7 Days

Monthly Net 7 – MN7: Billed Monthly, Net Due in 7 Days

Monthly Net 14 – MN14: Billed Monthly, Net Due in 14 Days

Semi-Monthly Net 14: Billed on 15th and 31st of each month, Net Due in 14 Days

2.13. Extended Terms Fees

In some cases, clients paying beyond terms will be assessed an Extended Terms Fee.

2.14. Forms for New Account Origination

 

    Application for Fleet Charge Card Account (Front & Back side)

 

    EFT Payment Authorization Form

 

    Credit Card Authorization Form

3. Existing Account Maintenance

3.1. Credit Limit Increases

Submit any request for a Credit Limit increase to Credit Approval similar to New Applications using the Credit Update Request Form indicating the desired amount of the increase and the reason for the increase. Please help Credit Approval make better decisions by providing as much information as possible.

Special Note: Credit limit increases will not be made as a means to allow a slow paying client to extend their payment terms. Many clients will request a Credit Limit increase while they are past due—in these cases, unless an immediate payment can be made (on demand EFT or check by phone), the request will be denied unless there is a significant mitigating circumstance.

3.2. Reopening an Inactive of Closed Account

Anytime an existing account is being reconsidered to be reopened or reinstated for reasons other than AR or Delinquency, it must be approved by the Credit Approval department. If the account was closed longer than 90 days ago then Credit Approval will request an updated credit application be completed. Please note that oftentimes a reinstatement is the result of a change in ownership, so it is essential to understand why they want to begin using our services again. If in doubt, notify Credit Approval. All Fleet Consultants should advise Credit Approval if an inactive account is being re-sold as a new account.

3.3. Unlocking an AR or Delinquency Locked Account

This can be done only by members of the AR Collections or Credit Approval department. If you are in contact with a client who is locked for AR reasons, transfer the call to the appropriate individual in AR Collections or send the AR Collector an email with the details of your conversation or interaction with the client. Otherwise, submit the request to Credit Approval on the Credit Update Request Form.

3.4. Change of Ownership/Name Change

If a company is taken over by another business or we are aware that the ownership changes hands, a new credit application must be completed. Please contact Credit Approval immediately. We run the risk of the new owners not assuming liability for old debts and even though on the surface it may appear to be the same company to us, we are an unsecured creditor (in most cases) and we need to credit qualify the new owners. In any event, we always need new signatures on these accounts. Submit a Credit Update Request Form for any change in ownership.

 

7


3.5. Additional Vehicles

When adding more vehicles to an existing account, be mindful that the increase fuel usage could push the client up to their credit limit.

3.6. Additional Fleets, Divisions, Sub-Accounts, Depts., Related Business Units

When adding an additional account under a bill group for whatever reason, this must be approved by Credit Approval just as if it were a new account. We have many clients such as municipalities, schools, etc. where we will likely not run a full credit check, but we need to know of any new client being added. These should be sent to Credit Approval before a new customer group and/or cards are created.

3.6A. Change in Bill Group

When separating an existing account into different bill groups this must be approved by Credit Approval. Linking separate accounts together under one bill group does not require credit approval.

3.7. Billing Frequency and Payment Terms Changes

Any account requesting Billing Frequency or Payment Terms changes must be approved by Credit Approval. Credit Approval will make the final decision taking into account the customer payment habits, external payment habits with other creditors, the industry type, etc. Upon a decision, Credit Approval will notify the Account Manager who can then in turn reply to the client.

3.8. Credit Related Fees

There are two credit related fees: Extended Terms Fee and Credit Card payment fee.

3.9. Change in Payment Method

a) Check to EFT -

b) EFT to Check – In many cases customers are put on EFT as a risk mitigating factor. If a customer wants to be taken off of EFT and start paying by check this must be approved by Credit Approval.

c) All others

3.10. Payment Arrangements

Payment arrangements are a last resort issue. It is expected that clients will meet their respective terms. However, in those circumstances that fall short of this expectation arrangements can be made to accommodate a reasonable circumstance.

Base Requirements:

 

    Complete understanding and explanation as to the delinquency

 

    Arrangements that keep the plan inside of ninety-days

 

    All fees and interest previously agreed upon in our corporate terms and conditions agreement will be assessed

 

    Financials and other supporting data may be required

 

    Agreement between the senior field/ sales leadership and financial groups that the plan is viable
