For the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser shall own and be entitled to receive all Collections with respect to each Receivable and Net Insurance Amounts sold on the Second Closing Date notwithstanding the inclusion of a Deferred Purchase Price.

(e)         Modification of Unpaid Amount. Without limiting Purchaser’s rights under Section 10 hereof, if the Servicer adjusts downward the principal balance of any Receivable because of a rebate, refund, unauthorized charge or billing error to a Buyer, or because such Receivable was created in respect of Furniture which was refused or returned by a Buyer, then, in any such case, the amount of Unpaid Amount of the Receivable used to calculate any amount required herein to be calculated by reference to the Unpaid Amount of the Receivable, will be reduced by the principal amount of the adjustment.

(g)         Each of the applicable Account Documents is governed by the laws of a state of the United States and was not originated in, nor is it subject to the laws of, any jurisdiction, the laws of which would make unlawful the sale, transfer, pledge of assignment of the Account Documents related to such Account under any of the Program Agreements.

Section 10.            Survival; Repurchase.

(a)           Survival. It is understood and agreed that the provisions of this Section 10 shall survive the sale of the Receivables sold to Purchaser and any termination of this Agreement and shall inure to the benefit of Purchaser, notwithstanding the examination or lack of examination of any Account File.

(b)           Repurchase. A “Repurchase Event” shall occur:

(i)                 If Seller or Purchaser receives notice of or becomes aware of, or to Seller’s Knowledge, any material breach of any representation or warranty contained in Section 9 by Seller with respect to any Receivable purchased by Purchaser (provided that if any representation in Section 9 contains a materiality qualification, materiality shall only be read into this Section 10(b) to apply once);

(ii)              With respect to any Receivable for which the related Buyer (i) has exercised any applicable right of rescission, or returned or refused Furniture, related to a Receivable purchased by Purchaser, or (ii) has received a rebate, refund, unauthorized charge or billing error that results in the downward adjustment in the Unpaid Amount of a Receivable.

With respect to a Repurchase Event pursuant to clauses (b)(i) and (b)(ii), above, Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser of such Repurchase Event (or, if applicable, Purchaser may notify Seller of such Repurchase Event) and repurchase any Receivables subject to a Repurchase Event on a date mutually agreed to by Seller and Purchaser, which date shall be within a commercially reasonable time period, not to exceed thirty (30) days (except if the parties otherwise agree to extend such time in writing) after Purchaser receives written notice from Seller (or, if applicable, Seller receives written notice from Purchaser) of the event giving rise to the repurchase obligation. If the parties cannot come to an agreement that a Receivable was not an Eligible Receivable on the Applicable Closing Date, Seller must repurchase the Receivable within thirty (30) days after Purchaser provides reasonable evidence that the Receivable was not an Eligible Receivable. On the date of repurchase (the “Repurchase Date”), upon receipt of the Repurchase Price, Purchaser shall transfer all of its right, title and interest in, to, and under such Receivable and all subsequent proceeds thereof to Seller or its designee on an “AS-IS,” “WHERE-IS” basis, without recourse and without representation or warranty other than a warranty of clear and marketable title to such Receivable (unless the failure to be an Eligible Receivable relates to marketability or title, in which case no representation or warranty of clear and marketable title shall be given other than Purchaser’s representation and warranty that Purchaser has not transferred or otherwise assigned or encumbered the Receivable to any Person other than Seller). Each Party shall execute any and all agreements and such other documents, and shall take all other actions, reasonably requested by the other to effect any such required repurchase. Any repurchase by Seller shall be made by the wire transfer or ACH of immediately available funds to the bank account designated by Purchaser sufficiently in advance of such payment as to afford Seller or its designee a reasonable opportunity to arrange for such payment to be made in the ordinary course. The repurchase obligations of Seller to Purchaser under this Section 10 are absolute and unconditional and shall survive termination of this Agreement. Purchaser may, but shall have no obligation to, in its sole discretion, waive Seller’s obligation to repurchase a Receivable. From and after the Repurchase Date, all Collections on each Receivable repurchased by Seller shall be paid to Seller, unless and until such Receivable is subsequently sold to Purchaser on an Applicable Closing Date.

Section 11.            Indemnification.

(a)         Seller Indemnification. Seller shall defend, indemnify and hold Purchaser, its Affiliates, and each of their officers, directors, trustees, employees, members, managers, representatives and agents (each, an “Indemnified Purchaser Party”) harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses (other than for a third party claim with respect to which Seller has retained counsel and assumed the defense on behalf of Purchaser in accordance with Section 11(e) and, in all cases, regardless of the capacity in which the indemnified party incurs such liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses), reasonable out-of-pocket costs, interest and penalties) (the “Losses”) incurred by Purchaser in connection with this Agreement to the extent that such Losses arise out of, and are imposed on, any such Indemnified Purchaser Party by reason of (i) any breach of a representation, warranty, covenant or obligation by Seller under this Agreement; (ii) the Holder Rule to the extent expressly applicable to and required to be complied with as it relates to the Receivables; or (iii) fraud, gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of Seller or its employees or agents.

(b)         Purchaser Indemnification. Purchaser shall defend, indemnify and hold Seller, its Affiliates and each of their officers, directors, trustees, employees, members, managers, representatives and agents (each, an “Indemnified Seller Party”) harmless from and against any Losses incurred by Seller in connection with this Agreement to the extent that such Losses arise out of, and are imposed upon any such Indemnified Seller Party by reason of (i) any breach by Purchaser of its obligations under this Agreement or any breach by Purchaser of a representation or warranty contained in this Agreement or (ii) fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of Purchaser or its employees or agents. For the avoidance of doubt, and without otherwise limiting Purchaser’s rights to indemnification hereunder, and except as provided for under this Section 11(b), Purchaser hereby acknowledges that it bears the risk of non-payment by the Buyers and other obligors on the Receivables purchased by Purchaser, and indemnification shall not be available for any such non-payment or any Losses directly attributable to such non-payment under this Agreement.

(c)         Damages Waiver. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THIS AGREEMENT, SELLER AND PURCHASER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT FOR ANY INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL OR OTHER DAMAGES RELATING TO PROSPECTIVE PROFITS, INCOME, ANTICIPATED SALES OR INVESTMENTS, OR GOODWILL, OR FOR ANY PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT SUCH LOSSES OR DAMAGES (I) ARE PAYABLE TO A THIRD PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH A THIRD PARTY CLAIM OR (II) RESULT FROM WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, A WILLFUL BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT, FRAUD OR GROSS NEGLIGENCE.

(d)         Indemnification Procedure. A party entitled to indemnification shall give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim, assertion, event, condition or proceeding by any third party with respect to which it may request indemnification under this Article. The failure to give such notice will not relieve the indemnifying party from liability hereunder unless, and solely to the extent that, the liabilities, damages, losses or expenses to be indemnified could have been avoided with such prompt notification.

(e)         Legal Expenses. An indemnifying party will have the right, upon written notice to the indemnified party within twenty (20) days after receiving notice of a third-party claim, to conduct at its expense the defense against such third-party claim in its own name, or, if necessary, in the name of the indemnified party. When the indemnifying party assumes the defense, the indemnified party will have the right to approve the defense counsel and the indemnified party will have no liability for any compromise or settlement of any third-party claim that is effected without its prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), unless the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the indemnifying party and such compromise or settlement includes a release of each indemnified party from any liabilities arising out of the third-party claim. If the indemnifying party delivers a notice electing to conduct the defense of the third-party claim, the indemnified party will, at the indemnifying party’s expense, cooperate with and make available to the indemnifying party such assistance, personnel, witnesses and materials as the indemnifying party may reasonably request. If the indemnifying party does not deliver a notice electing to conduct the defense of the third-party claim, the indemnified party will have the sole right to conduct such defense and the indemnified party may pay, compromise or defend such third-party claim or proceeding at the indemnifying party’s expense. Regardless of which party defends the third- party claim, the other party will have the right at its sole expense to participate in the defense assisted by counsel of its own choosing.

(f)          Survival. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, this Section 11 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

Section 12.            Privacy; Confidentiality.

(a)         Protection of Consumer Information.

(i)               Seller will only use, maintain and/or disclose Consumer Information in compliance with all applicable privacy and security Laws and with the policies set forth in this Section 12(a), and will ensure that Persons to whom it transfers Consumer Information do the same. In the event that Purchaser or any of its Affiliates request Seller to provide it with any Consumer Information, such Person shall have compliance measures in place with respect to such Consumer Information that comply with all applicable privacy and security Laws.

(ii)              Seller will establish and maintain appropriate administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect the security, confidentiality and integrity of the Consumer Information. These safeguards will be designed to protect the security, confidentiality and integrity of the Consumer Information, ensure against any anticipated threats or hazards to its security and integrity, and protect against unauthorized access to or use of such information or associated records which could result in substantial harm or inconvenience to any Buyer or applicant.

(iii)             Seller will ensure that any third party to whom it transfers or discloses Consumer Information (other than a credit agency) signs a written contract in which such third party agrees to (A) restrict its use of Consumer Information to the use specified in the written contract; (B) to comply with all applicable Laws, and (C) implement and maintain appropriate safeguards as stated in clause (ii) above. Seller agrees to transfer or make available to third parties only such Consumer Information as is reasonably necessary to carry out the contemplated task.

(iv)             Seller shall notify Purchaser immediately following discovery or notification of any actual or threatened breach of security of the systems maintained by Seller. Seller agrees to take action immediately, at its own expense, to investigate the actual or threatened breach, to identify and mitigate the effects of any such breach and to implement reasonable and appropriate measures in response to such breach. Seller also will provide Purchaser with all available information regarding such breach to assist Purchaser in implementing its information security response program. For the purposes of this clause (iv), the term “breach of security” or “breach” means the unauthorized access to or acquisition of any record containing personally identifiable information relating to a Buyer or applicant, whether in paper, electronic, or other form, in a manner that renders misuse of the information reasonably possible or that otherwise compromises the security, confidentiality, or integrity of the information.

(v)               Notwithstanding anything else contained in this Agreement, neither Seller nor Purchaser will, and neither of them will be obligated to, take any action that either of them believes in good faith would violate, or is reasonably likely to cause either of them to violate, any applicable Laws or that would cause either of them to become a “consumer reporting agency” for purposes of the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act, as it may be amended from time to time.

(vi)              Seller will use commercially reasonable measures designed to properly dispose of all records containing personally identifiable information relating to Buyers and applicants, whether in paper, electronic, or other form, including adhering to policies and procedures that require the destruction or erasure of electronic media containing such personally identifiable information so that the information cannot practicably be read or reconstructed.

(b)         Confidentiality.

(i)                Generally. Each party agrees that it will hold all Confidential Information in the strictest confidence and will not disclose or use any Confidential Information for any purpose other than in connection with the performance by such party of its obligations under this Agreement, and shall not disclose any Confidential Information to any third party, except that, subject to Section 13(a), each party may disclose Confidential Information: (A)  to its Affiliates, and its and its Affiliates’ officers, directors, employees, auditors, agents, advisors and attorneys, (B) to its third party service providers, capital providers, and asset funders (to the extend such funders are impacted by the sale of assets) (collectively, “Representatives”) that have agreed in writing with such disclosing party to use and maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information in accordance with this Agreement, (C) to any Governmental Authority of such party, (D) potential buyers or assignees of all or any portion of the Receivables, or (E) to the extent such disclosure is required or compelled in any judicial or regulatory Proceeding or is otherwise required by applicable Laws. The parties acknowledge and agree that Seller’s origination, purchase, credit risk management and underwriting strategies constitute Confidential Information of Seller that is subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 13(b) that may not be disclosed to any third party. Each party acknowledges and agrees that it shall be responsible for any breach of this Section 12 by itself or its Representatives.

(ii)              Account Level Data. The parties acknowledge and agree that all account level data, including the application, credit bureau and ongoing account performance history related to the Receivables sold to Purchaser, shall be the property of Seller. Seller hereby grants to Purchaser, a non-exclusive, worldwide, non-sub licensable, royalty-free, fully paid-up license to use, reproduce, prepare derivative works of such account level data to develop, refine, or enhance Seller’s origination, purchase, credit risk management and underwriting strategies. Seller shall provide to Purchaser the ongoing account performance data for the life of each Receivable sold to Purchaser hereunder. Such data shall be treated as Confidential Information of Seller that is subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 12(b).

(iii)            Following the termination of this Agreement, each party agrees that, other than with respect to Confidential Information that has been purged in the ordinary course of such party’s business, it will return or destroy all copies of Confidential Information of the other party, without retaining any copies thereof, and destroy all copies of any analyses, compilations, studies or other documents prepared by it or for its use containing or reflecting any Confidential Information; provided however, that each party may retain such limited copies or materials containing Confidential Information of the other party for customary document retention and audit purposes, as required by applicable Laws, or that has been otherwise archived in the ordinary course of such party’s business and subject to the terms of this Agreement.

(c)         Publications. Seller shall not publish or otherwise distribute any written materials (including any website content or correspondence with Buyers) referencing Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, nor shall it orally discuss or reference Purchaser or any of its Affiliates in connection with any Receivable, Account or the Account Program with any Buyers or Account applicants, in each case, without the express prior written consent of Purchaser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, or any other provision of this Agreement, each of Parent Company of Seller and Purchaser may disclose the existence of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein on its Form 8-K filing, and Parent Company of Seller, Seller and/or Purchaser may issue a press release announcing the same substantially in the form of Exhibit 5.

Section 13.            Audits; Regulatory Examinations.

(a)         Audits. During the term of this Agreement, Purchaser may review and audit (the “Audit”) any aspect of the origination, purchase and servicing of the Receivables sold to Purchaser, with such Audit occurring during regular business hours upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice and requiring no more than 2 Business Days’ commitment by Seller and its employees; provided that any Audit requested in connection with an Event of Default (a “Specified Audit”) shall occur within five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice and shall require no more than five (5) Business Days’ commitment by Seller or its employees (or such longer period time as may reasonably be required by Purchaser). Seller shall cooperate with all reasonable requests and provide Purchaser, or its designees, with all necessary assistance and information in connection with any such audit and shall make its management personnel available to discuss with Purchaser, or its designees, any matters which may arise during such audit. In connection with any such audit, Seller will permit any representatives designated by Purchaser to review Seller’s information processes and controls and compliance practices and procedures. Purchaser may not request an Audit, other than a Specified Audit, to occur more than two times each year (absent an Event of Default), commencing with the Effective Date. Other than with respect to a Specified Audit and one Audit per year, all costs and expenses of any Audit shall be solely paid by Purchaser.

(b)         Regulatory Examinations. Seller agrees to reasonably cooperate with any examination that may be required by any Governmental Authority with audit and examination authority over Purchaser; provided, however, that if such audit is occasioned by the breach of Purchaser’s obligations hereunder, out-of-pocket costs and expenses of such audit (including without limitation reasonable attorneys, accountants and other professional fees) shall be reimbursed and paid by Purchaser.

Section 14.            Merger or Consolidation of Seller.

(a)         Assumption of Obligations. Subject to Purchaser’s termination rights under Section 3(c), any Person into which Seller may be merged or consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which Seller shall be a party, or any Person (including an Affiliate of Seller) succeeding to all or substantially all of the business or assets of Seller, shall automatically be the successor of Seller hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto; provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the closing of any such merger, conversion or consolidation, the successor or surviving Person shall expressly assume in writing all obligations of Seller under this Agreement.

(b)         Notice of Change of Control. Seller shall promptly give written notice to Purchaser in the event that Seller or any direct or indirect holder of equity interests in Seller enters into any agreement or agreements that contemplates (i) the merger or consolidation of Seller with or into any Person, (ii) the sale, transfer or other disposition of any material portion of Seller’s assets or business to any Person (other than the sale of receivables in the normal course of Seller’s business) or (iii) any transfer of equity interests in Seller whereby the Persons beneficially owning, directly or indirectly, the equity interests of Seller as of the date hereof shall cease to beneficially own, directly or indirectly, for any reason, at least 80% of Seller’s outstanding equity interests.

Any part, provision, representation or warranty of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable or is held to be void or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall be ineffective, as to such jurisdiction, to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction as to any Receivable sold to Purchaser shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent permitted by applicable Laws, the parties hereto waive any provision of Laws which prohibits or renders void or unenforceable any provision hereof. If the invalidity of any part, provision, representation or warranty of this Agreement shall deprive any party of the economic benefit intended to be conferred by this Agreement, the parties shall negotiate, in good-faith, to develop a structure the economic effect of which is nearly as possible the same as the economic effect of this Agreement without regard to such invalidity.

Each party irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York or any court of the State of New York sitting in New York County, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action, litigation or proceeding of any kind arising out of or relating to this Agreement and agrees to bring any such action, litigation, or proceeding only in such courts. Each party agrees that a final judgment in any such action, litigation, or proceeding is conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Each party hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any New York State or federal court. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient form to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

Purchaser shall have the full right, at its sole discretion, without need to obtain the consent of Seller or any other party, to (i) assign or participate all or a portion of its rights under this Agreement, and (ii) sell, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise transfer any Receivables purchased hereunder.

(h)         General Interpretive Principles. For purposes of this Agreement, except as otherwise expressly provided or unless the context otherwise requires:

(j)           Execution; Successors and Assigns. This Agreement, any documents to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement and any notices thereunder, may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts. Each counterpart shall be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts shall constitute one and the same instrument. The parties agree that this Agreement, any documents to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement, any notices thereunder, and signature pages to any of the foregoing, may be transmitted between them by facsimile or by electronic mail and that faxed, PDF or DocuSign (or other e-signature) signatures may constitute original signatures and that a faxed, PDF or DocuSign (or other e-signature) signature page containing the signature (faxed, PDF, DocuSign (or other e-signature) or original) is binding upon the parties.

(n)         Exhibits. The exhibits to this Agreement are hereby incorporated and made a part hereof and are an integral part of this Agreement.

(o)         Force Majeure.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Force Majeure Event shall not excuse a party from any of its obligations hereunder or liability for failure to perform (i) if such failure or delay is due to the non-performing party’s (or any of its personnel’s) gross negligence or willful misconduct, including failing to prevent or causing such failure or delay and (ii) to the extent that the non-performing party commercially reasonably could have prevented the failure or delay by reasonable precautions or could not reasonably have circumvented the underlying issues through the use of alternate sources, workaround plans or other means. In the case of a Force Majeure Event to which the previous sentence is not applicable, the non-performing party shall be excused from further performance or observance of the obligations so affected for as long as such circumstances prevail and such party continues to use commercially reasonable efforts to recommence performance or observance whenever and to whatever extent possible without delay. Any party so delayed in its performance or unable to perform shall immediately notify the party to whom performance is due, describe at a reasonable level of detail the circumstances causing such delay and keep the other party informed on a daily basis of the status of its efforts to recommence performance of its obligations under this Agreement.
