As previously reported, on February 14, 2023, Sabre Securitization, LLC, a special purpose entity (the “SPE”) that is an indirect subsidiary of Sabre Corporation (“Sabre” or the “Company”), entered into a three-year committed accounts receivable securitization facility (the “AR Facility”) of up to $200 million with PNC Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”), structuring agent and lender.
In connection with the AR Facility, certain subsidiaries of the Company, as originators (the “Originators”), have entered into two sale and contribution agreements, each dated as of March 30, 2023, (the “Sale and Contribution Agreements”). Pursuant to the Sale and Contribution Agreements, the Originators have sold and contributed substantially all of their accounts receivable and certain related assets (collectively, the “Receivables”) to the SPE, a separate legal subsidiary of the Company whose sole business consists of the purchase, or acceptance through capital contributions, of the Receivables and whose assets are not available to satisfy other creditors of the Company, the Originators, or any other subsidiary of the Company.
The initial borrowings under the AR Facility are $115 million. Unless required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update the amount of borrowings outstanding under the AR Facility.
These descriptions of the Sale and Contribution Agreements do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Sale and Contribution Agreements, which are attached to this Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2 and incorporated herein by reference.

Unless otherwise indicated herein, capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Agreement are defined in the Receivables Financing Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the Receivables Financing Agreement), among the Buyer, as borrower, the Servicer, Sabre Global Technologies Limited, a private limited company organized under the laws of England and Wales, as the UK Servicer (the UK Servicer), the Persons from time to time party thereto as Lenders, PNC Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent, and PNC Capital Markets, LLC, as Structuring Agent. The rules of construction set forth in Section 1.02 of the Receivables Financing Agreement are hereby incorporated in this agreement by reference as if such rules of construction were set forth herein in their entirety.

1. The Buyer is a special purpose limited liability company, all of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests of which are owned by Sabre.
2. The Originators generate Receivables in the ordinary course of their businesses. The Originators wish to sell (and, in the case of Sabre, contribute) such Receivables and the Related Rights to the Buyer, and the Buyer is willing to purchase and accept such Receivables and Related Rights from the Originators, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.
3. The Originators and the Buyer intend each such sale and contribution described in paragraph 2 above to be a true sale and/or an absolute contribution and conveyance of Receivables and the Related Rights by each Originator to the Buyer, providing the Buyer with the full benefits of ownership of the Receivables, and the Originators and the Buyer do not intend the transactions hereunder to be characterized as a loan from the Buyer to any Originator.
4. The Buyer intends to pledge the Receivables and the Related Rights to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Lenders) pursuant to the Receivables Financing Agreement.
5. This Agreement constitutes a Transfer Agreement as such term is defined in the Receivables Financing Agreement, and each Person from time to time party hereto as an Originator constitutes an Originator as such term is defined in the Receivables Financing Agreement.
6. Concurrently herewith, the Buyer, as borrower, and the Servicer, on behalf of the Originators, as lenders, are entering into a Subordinated Loan Agreement substantially in the form attached as Exhibit B (the Subordinated Loan Agreement).

1
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements herein contained, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

SALES AND CONTRIBUTIONS
SECTION 1.1 Agreement to Sell and Contribute. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, each Originator agrees to sell to, and in the case of Sabre, to contribute to the capital of, the Buyer, and the Buyer agrees to purchase and accept from such Originator, from time to time on or after the Closing Date but before the Sale and Contribution Termination Date (as defined in Section 1.4), all of such Originators right, title and interest in and to:
(a) each Receivable of such Originator that existed and was owing to such Originator at the closing of such Originators business on the Cut-Off Date (as defined below);
(b) each Receivable generated by such Originator from and including the Cut-Off Date to but excluding the Sale and Contribution Termination Date; and
(c) all Related Rights.
All sales and contributions of Receivables and Related Rights hereunder shall be made without recourse except as expressly set forth herein, but shall be made pursuant to, and in reliance upon, the representations, warranties and covenants of the Originators set forth in this Agreement. No obligation or liability to any Obligor on any Receivable or any related Contract is intended to be assumed by the Buyer (or its assignees) hereunder, and any such assumption is expressly disclaimed. The Buyers foregoing commitment to purchase and accept Receivables and Related Rights is herein called the Purchase Facility.
As used herein:
Cut-Off Date means (a) with respect to Sabre, February 28, 2023, and (b) with respect to any other Originator that first becomes a party hereto after the date hereof, the Business Day prior to the date on which such Originator becomes a party hereto or such other date as the Buyer and such Originator agree to in writing.
Related Rights means, with respect to any Receivable:
(a) any goods (including Returned Goods), and documentation of title evidencing the shipment or storage of any goods (including Returned Goods), the sale of which gave rise to such Receivable;
(b) all instruments and chattel paper that evidence such Receivable;
(c) all letter of credit rights and other security interests or liens and property subject thereto from time to time purporting to secure payment of such Receivable, whether pursuant to the Contract related to such Receivable or otherwise, together with all UCC financing statements or similar filings relating thereto;
2
(d) all rights, interests and claims under the related Contracts and all guaranties, indemnities, insurance and other agreements (including the related Contract) or arrangements of whatever character from time to time, in each case, supporting or securing payment of such Receivable or otherwise relating to such Receivable, whether pursuant to the Contract related to such Receivable or otherwise;
(e) all books and records to the extent related to any of the foregoing, and all rights, remedies, powers, privileges, title and interest (but not obligations) in and to each Lock-Box and all Collection Accounts, into which any Collections or other proceeds with respect to such Receivables may be deposited, and any related investment property acquired with any such Collections or other proceeds (as such term is defined in the applicable UCC); and
(f) all Collections and other proceeds (as defined in the UCC) of such Receivable and any of the foregoing.
SECTION 1.2 Timing of Sales and Contributions.
(a) Closing Date Sales and Contributions. Effective on the Closing Date, each Originator hereby sells to, and Sabre hereby contributes to the capital of, the Buyer, and the Buyer hereby purchases and accepts, such Originators entire right, title and interest in, to and under (i) each Receivable that existed and was owing to such Originator at the Cut-Off Date, (ii) each Receivable generated by such Originator from and including the Cut-Off Date, to and including the Closing Date, and (iii) all Related Rights with respect thereto.
(b) Subsequent Sales and Contributions. After the Closing Date, until the Sale and Contribution Termination Date, (i) each Receivable and the Related Rights generated by each Originator shall be, and shall be deemed to have been, sold or (in the case of Sabre) contributed by such Originator to the Buyer immediately (and without further action) upon the creation of such Receivable.
SECTION 1.3 Consideration for Purchases. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Buyer agrees to make Purchase Price payments to the Originators and to accept capital contributions pursuant to Article III.
SECTION 1.4 Sale and Contribution Termination Date. The Sale and Contribution Termination Date shall be the earlier to occur of (a) the date the Purchase Facility is terminated by Buyer (with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent) pursuant to Section 8.2(a) and (b) the Final Payout Date.
3
SECTION 1.5 Intention of the Parties. It is the express intent of each Originator and the Buyer that each conveyance by such Originator to the Buyer of Receivables and Related Rights pursuant to this Agreement be a true sale and/or contribution and be construed as a valid and perfected sale or contribution and an absolute and irrevocable assignment of such Receivables and Related Rights by such Originator to the Buyer (rather than the grant of a security interest to secure a debt or other obligation of such Originator), providing the Buyer with the full risk and benefit of ownership of the Receivables and Related Rights, and that the right, title and interest in and to such Receivables and Related Rights conveyed to the Buyer be prior to the rights of and enforceable against all other Persons at any time, including lien creditors, secured lenders, lenders and any Person claiming through such Originator. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to protect the rights of the Buyer (i) this Agreement also shall be deemed to be, and hereby is, a security agreement within the meaning of the UCC and (ii) each Originator grants to the Buyer a security interest in, to and under all of such Originators right, title and interest in and to the Receivables and the Related Rights now existing and hereafter arising or created by such Originator transferred or purported to be transferred hereunder, to secure such Originators obligations under the Transaction Documents, including its obligation to turn over to the Buyer all Collections and other proceeds with respect to such Receivables and Related Rights.
ARTICLE II
PURCHASE RECORDS; PURCHASE PRICE CALCULATION
SECTION 2.1 Purchase Records. On the Closing Date and on or prior to each date when a Monthly Report is due to be delivered under the Receivables Financing Agreement (each such date, a Monthly Purchase Record Date), the Servicer shall record in its books and records, which it shall maintain and make available to the Buyer and each Originator upon request, the following information (the Purchase Records):
(a) Receivables purchased by, and contributed to the capital of, the Buyer from any Originator on the Closing Date (in the case of the Purchase Records to be recorded on the Closing Date);
(b) Receivables purchased by, and contributed to the capital of, the Buyer from any Originator during the calendar month immediately preceding such Monthly Purchase Record Date (in the case of each Monthly Purchase Record Date after the Closing Date); and
(c) the calculations of reductions of the Purchase Price for any Receivables as provided in Section 3.3(a) and (b).
For the avoidance of doubt, no failure by any Servicer to maintain any Purchase Records, or the existence of any error therein, shall derogate from the Buyers and its assigns, right, title and interest in, to or under any Receivables or Related Rights conveyed or purported to be conveyed to Buyer hereunder.
SECTION 2.2 Purchase Price Calculation. The Purchase Price to be paid to each Originator on any Payment Date in accordance with the terms of Article III for the Receivables and the Related Rights that are purchased hereunder from such Originator shall be determined in accordance with the following formula:
4
PP | = | OB x FMVD | ||
where: | ||||
PP | = | Purchase Price for each Receivable as calculated on the relevant Payment Date. | ||
OB | = | The Outstanding Balance of such Receivable on the relevant Payment Date. | ||
FMVD | = | Fair Market Value Discount, as measured on such Payment Date, which is equal to 1 minus the Yield Reserve Percentage. |
COF Rate means the Prime Rate in effect as of the most recently occurred December or June month end.
Payment Date means (i) the Closing Date and (ii) each Business Day thereafter that the Originators are open for business. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, sale and/or contribution of Receivables and the application of proceeds with respect thereto shall occur daily; provided that settlement as to the reporting or presentation of such transactions shall occur on the Monthly Purchase Record Date.
ARTICLE III
PURCHASE PRICE PAYMENTS AND CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS
SECTION 3.1 Purchase Price Payments and Capital Contributions. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Buyer agrees to pay to each Originator the Purchase Price for the Receivables sold to the Buyer by the Originator on each Payment Date as follows (and in the following order of priority):
(a) first, the Buyer shall pay such Purchase Price to each Originator (if any) other than Sabre in cash to the extent the Buyer has cash available therefor (including after giving effect to any Investments made under the Receivables Financing Agreement and the receipt of Collections available for such purpose in accordance with the Receivables Financing Agreement, including pursuant to a Release);
(b) second, if the Borrowers Net Worth is then less than the Required Capital Amount (after giving effect to any capital contributions made by Sabre to the Buyer on such Payment Date), the Buyer shall set aside the amount of its cash available therefor (including after giving effect to cash payments made pursuant to clause (a) above and any Investments made under the Receivables Financing Agreement and the receipt of Collections available for such purpose in accordance with the Receivables Financing Agreement, including pursuant to a Release) necessary to repay any Subordinated Loans on the next-occurring Settlement Date in an amount sufficient to cause the Borrowers Net Worth to no longer exceed the Required Capital Amount, which cash the Buyer (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall hold in trust for distribution (as Collections) in accordance with Section 3.01(a) of the Receivables Financing Agreement on such next-occurring Settlement Date;
5
(c) third, the Buyer shall pay any Purchase Price then due to Sabre in cash to the extent (i) the Buyer has cash available therefor (including after giving effect to cash payments made pursuant to clause (a) above, setting aside cash pursuant to clause (b) above, and any Investments made under the Receivables Financing Agreement and the receipt of Collections available for such purpose in accordance with the Receivables Financing Agreement, including pursuant to a Release) and (ii) after giving effect to such payment and the making of any Subordinated Loan(s) pursuant to clause (d) below, the Borrowers Net Worth will not be less than the Required Capital Amount;
(d) fourth, to the extent any Purchase Price payment remains due to an Originator other than Sabre after giving effect to clauses (a) through (c) above on such Payment Date, a Subordinated Loan shall automatically be made by such Originator to the Buyer under the Subordinated Loan Agreement in an initial principal amount equal to the amount of such remaining Purchase Price payment, which Subordinated Loan shall be deemed to constitute payment in full by the Buyer to such Originator of such remaining Purchase Price; and
(e) fifth, to the extent any portion of any Purchase Price then due to Sabre has not been paid in cash pursuant to clause (c) above, Sabre shall (and hereby irrevocably does without further action) contribute to the capital of the Buyer Receivables (together with their Related Rights) attributable to such unpaid portion of the Purchase Price, and the value of Sabres membership interests in the Buyer shall increase accordingly.
For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) Sabre may, from time to time in its sole discretion, elect to (x) contribute Receivables and Related Rights to the capital of the Buyer from time to time in lieu of receiving Purchase Price payments in cash, and/or (y) contribute cash to the capital of the Buyer, and (ii) no Collections or other cash shall be deemed available to the Buyer to make any payment contemplated by this Section unless such Collections or other cash are available to the Buyer for such purpose pursuant to the terms of the Receivables Financing Agreement.
Sabre, as owner of all Equity Interests in the Buyer and as Servicer, shall cause any Collections that are Released to the Buyer from time to time pursuant to the Receivables Financing Agreement to be applied by or on behalf of the Buyer in accordance with this Section 3.1.
SECTION 3.2 Subordinated Loans; Subordinated Loan Agreement. Each Originator acknowledges and agrees that it has received a copy of the Subordinated Loan Agreement and agrees to be bound by, and to comply with, all the terms of the Subordinated Loan Agreement, including, without limitation, the subordination provisions set forth therein. Each Originator hereby authorizes the Servicer, and irrevocably appoints the Servicer as its attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution and with full authority in the place and stead of such Originator, which appointment is coupled with an interest, to (i) enter into the Subordinated Loan Agreement, (ii) enter into any amendment or waiver of the Subordinated Loan Agreement from time to time and (iii) take any and all other actions under or in connection with the Subordinated Loan Agreement or any Subordinated Loan, in each case, in the name and on behalf of such Originator. Each Subordinated Loan shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Subordinated Loan Agreement. The Servicer shall make all appropriate record keeping entries with respect to any amounts outstanding under the Subordinated Loan Agreement as in effect and outstanding on each Payment Date, to reflect payments and credits made (or deemed made) pursuant to Section 3.3, and absent manifest error, such entries shall constitute prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information so entered.
6
SECTION 3.3 Settlement as to Specific Receivables and Dilution.
(a) If on any day:
(i) any of the representations or warranties of an Originator set forth in Sections 5.8, 5.13, 5.22, 5.23, 5.24, 5.25, 5.27, 5.28 or 5.29 are not true with respect to any Receivable conveyed to the Buyer hereunder; or
(ii) the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable conveyed to the Buyer hereunder is reduced or is cancelled as a result of (A) any defective, rejected, returned, repossessed or foreclosed goods or services, (B) any revision, cancellation, allowance, rebate, credit memo, discount or other adjustment made by the Originators, any other Borrower-Related Party or any Affiliate thereof, or (C) any setoff, counterclaim or dispute between any Borrower-Related Party or any Affiliate thereof and an Obligor;
then, in either case, such Originator shall be deemed to have received a Collection on such Receivable on such day in an amount equal to (x) in the case of clause (i) above, the affected Receivables Outstanding Balance in full, and (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, amount equal to the positive difference between (A) such Receivables Outstanding Balance prior to such reduction or cancelation and (B) such Receivables Outstanding Balance after such reduction or cancelation. Collections deemed to have been received by the Originators pursuant to this Section 3.3(a) are referred herein to as Deemed Collections.
(b) If an Originator is deemed to receive any Deemed Collections pursuant to Section 3.3(a), then such Originator shall within two (2) Business Days thereof pay in cash to a Collection Account (or as otherwise directed by the Administrative Agent at such time) for the benefit of the Buyer and the Lender Parties (as Buyers assignees) an amount equal to:
(i) if the Termination Date has not occurred and no Event of Default or a Potential Default has occurred and is continuing, the lesser of (x) the full amount of such Deemed Collections and (y) the amount necessary (by applying such amount as a Collection pursuant to Section 3.01(a) of the Receivables Financing Agreement) to eliminate any Borrowing Base Deficit that exists at such time; or
(ii) if the Termination Date has occurred or an Event of Default or a Potential Default has occurred and is continuing, the full amount of such Deemed Collection.
7
(c) If any Deemed Collection (or portion thereof) is not paid in cash to a Collection Account (or as otherwise directed by the Administrative Agent) due to the operation of clause (b)(i) above, the amount of such Deemed Collection or portion thereof (as the case may be) shall be applied as follows:
(i) first, as a deemed repayment of any Subordinated Loans then owed to the applicable Originator until such Subordinated Loans have been repaid in full; and
(ii) second, as a credit against future Purchase Price payments otherwise due (or to become due) to the applicable Originator hereunder.
ARTICLE IV

(d) such addition shall not result in a Change in Control;
(e) no Sale and Contribution Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing; and

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart hereof by facsimile or other electronic means shall be equally effective as delivery of an originally executed counterpart.
SECTION 10.9 Acknowledgment and Agreement. By execution below, each Originator expressly acknowledges and agrees that all of the Buyers rights, title, and interests in, to, and under this Agreement (but not its obligations), shall be collaterally assigned by means of the Buyer granting a security interest to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) pursuant to the Receivables Financing Agreement, and each Originator consents to such collateral assignment. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that the Lenders and the Administrative Agent are third-party beneficiaries of the rights of the Buyer arising hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents to which any Originator is a party, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, during the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default under the Receivables Financing Agreement, the Administrative Agent, and not the Buyer, shall have the sole right to exercise all such rights and related remedies.

Each Originator hereby agrees that it will not institute, or join any other Person in instituting, against the Buyer any Relief Proceeding for at least one year and one day following the Final Payout Date. Each Originator further agrees that notwithstanding any provisions contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Buyer shall not, and shall not be obligated to, pay any amount to such Originator in respect of any Subordinated Loan, any Subordinated Loan Agreement or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement unless the Buyer has received funds which may, subject to Section 3.01 of the Receivables Financing Agreement, be used to make such payment. Any amount which the Buyer 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 corporate obligation of, the Buyer by such Originator for any such insufficiency unless and until the provisions of the foregoing sentence are satisfied. The agreements in this Section 10.12 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
SECTION 10.11 Mutual Negotiations. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents are the product of mutual negotiations by the parties thereto and their counsel, and no party shall be deemed the draftsperson of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any provision hereof or thereof or to have provided the same. Accordingly, in the event of any inconsistency or ambiguity of any provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, such inconsistency or ambiguity shall not be interpreted against any party because of such partys involvement in the drafting thereof.
SECTION 10.12 Originators Jointly and Severally Liable. Each of the representations, warranties, covenants, obligations, indemnities and other undertakings of any Originator hereunder shall be made jointly and severally, and are joint and several liabilities of the Originators hereunder.

W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, this Loan Agreement is the Subordinated Loan Agreement described in, and is subject to the terms and conditions set forth in, that certain Sale and Contribution Agreement, dated as of March [__], 2023 (as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the Sale and Contribution Agreement), among the Borrower, as buyer, the Servicer, and the various entities from time to time party thereto as Originators;
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Sale and Contribution Agreement, from the date hereof until the Sale and Contribution Termination Date, the Borrower will purchase from the Originators, Receivables and Related Rights that are generated by the Originators;
WHEREAS, the Borrower desires from time to time to borrow funds from such Originator (each, a Subordinated Loan) according to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Sale and Contribution Agreement to pay all or a portion of the Purchase Price owing by the Borrower to such Originator in connection with the Receivables and Related Rights purchased by the Borrower from such Originator in accordance with the Sale and Contribution Agreement; and
WHEREAS, such Originator has agreed from time to time to make Subordinated Loans to the Borrower on the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Sale and Contribution Agreement.
NOW THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:
1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used (but not defined) herein have the meanings assigned thereto in the Sale and Contribution Agreement and in the Receivables Financing Agreement (as defined in the Sale and Contribution Agreement). In addition, as used herein, the following terms have the following meanings:

Exhibit B-1
Senior Interests means, collectively, (i) all Interest and Fees and rights to payment in respect thereof, (ii) all Principal and rights to payment in respect thereof, (iii) all other Borrower Obligations from time to time owing to any Senior Interest Holder and (iv) all other obligations of any Borrower-Related Party that are payable any Senior Interest Holder under or in connection with the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby, in each case, howsoever created, arising or evidenced, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, now or hereafter existing, or due or to become due, together with any and all interest accruing on any such amount after the commencement of any Bankruptcy Proceedings, notwithstanding any provision or rule of law that might restrict the rights of any Senior Interest Holder, as against the Borrower or anyone else, to collect such interest.
Subordination Provisions means, collectively, clauses (a) through (l) of paragraph 10 hereof.
2. Subordinated Loan Facility.
(a) Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Loan Agreement and the Sale and Contribution Agreement, such Originator hereby agrees to make Subordinated Loans denominated in U.S. Dollars to the Borrower on each Payment Date in an amount equal to the unpaid Purchase Price owing by the Borrower to such Originator on such Payment Date (including as contemplated by Section 3.1 of the Sale and Contribution Agreement).
(b) Making Loans. A Subordinated Loan shall be deemed to have been made on the Closing Date and each Payment Date by such Originator in the amount of the unpaid Purchase Price owing by the Borrower to such Originator on such Purchase Date as determined pursuant to Section 3.1 of the Sale and Contribution Agreement, in each case, without any further action or notice on the part of the Borrower, any Originator, the Servicer or any other Person. No Subordinated Loan may be made by any Originator to the Borrower for any other purpose.
3. Records. The Servicer is authorized and directed by the Borrower to enter in its books and records, the date and amount of each Subordinated Loan made by the Originators and the amount of each payment of principal made by the Borrower on such Subordinated Loans. Absent manifest error, such entries shall constitute prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information so entered; provided that neither the failure of the Servicer or any Originator to make any such entry nor any error therein shall expand, limit or affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder.
4. Interest. The Borrower agrees to pay interest on the outstanding principal amount of each Subordinated Loan from the date such Subordinated Loan has been made to the date on which such amount is repaid in full at a rate per annum equal to an arms length rate included in Addendum 1. Interest accrued hereunder shall be computed for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a 365- or 366-day year, as the case may be.
5. Interest Payment Dates. Subject to the Subordination Provisions set forth below, the Borrower shall pay accrued interest on the outstanding principal amount of each Subordinated Loan on each Settlement Date, and shall pay accrued interest on the amount of each principal payment made in cash on a date other than a Settlement Date at the time of such principal payment.
Exhibit B-2
Such payments shall be made solely from funds available to the Borrower therefor in accordance with the terms of the Receivables Financing Agreement.
6. Principal Payment Dates. Subject to the Subordination Provisions set forth below, payments of the principal amount of the Subordinated Loans shall be made as follows:
(a) The principal amount of the Subordinated Loans shall be reduced by an amount equal to each payment deemed made pursuant to Section 3.3 of the Sale and Contribution Agreement.
(b) The entire outstanding principal amount of all Subordinated Loans shall be due on the Final Payout Date.
(c) The principal amount of and accrued interest on the Subordinated Loans may be prepaid by, and in the sole discretion of, the Borrower on any Business Day without premium or penalty.
Such payments shall be made solely from funds available to the Borrower therefor in accordance with the terms of the Receivables Financing Agreement.
7. Payment Mechanics. All payments of principal and interest hereunder are to be made in lawful money of the United States of America in the manner specified in Article III of the Sale and Contribution Agreement.
8. Register. The Borrower shall (or shall cause the Servicer, on its behalf, to) maintain a register, in which register shall be recorded the amount of each Subordinated Loan made hereunder and the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Holder. The entries in the register shall be conclusive and in the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Servicer, the Originators and their registered assigns hereunder and such register, the register shall control in the absence of manifest error.
9. Enforcement Expenses. In addition to and not in limitation of the foregoing, but subject to the Subordination Provisions set forth below and to any limitation imposed by Law, the Borrower agrees to pay all expenses, including Attorney Costs, incurred by the Servicer or any Originator in seeking to collect any amounts payable hereunder which are not paid when due.
10. Subordination Provisions. The Borrower covenants and agrees, and the Servicer and such Originator and any other assignee, transferee or pledgee of this Loan Agreement or any Subordinated Loans (collectively, the Holder), by its acceptance of any sale, assignment, transfer or pledge of this Loan Agreement or any Subordinated Loans, likewise covenants and agrees on behalf of itself and any Holder, that the payment of the principal amount of and interest on the Subordinated Loans and any other payments owing under this Loan Agreement are hereby expressly subordinated in right of payment to the payment and performance of the Senior Interests to the extent and in the manner set forth in the following clauses of this Section 10:
Exhibit B-3
(a) No payment or other distribution of the Borrowers assets of any kind or character, whether in cash, securities, or other rights or property, shall be made on account of this Loan Agreement or any Subordinated Loan except to the extent such payment or other distribution is either (i) made from funds expressly available for such purpose pursuant to Section 3.01(a) of the Receivables Financing Agreement and such payment or other distribution is permitted under Section 7.01(r) of the Receivables Financing Agreement or (ii) made on or after the Final Payout Date;
(b) In the event of any dissolution, winding up, liquidation, readjustment, reorganization or other similar event relating to the Borrower, whether voluntary or involuntary, partial or complete, and whether in bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership proceedings, or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or any other marshalling of the assets and liabilities of the Borrower or any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower other than as permitted by the Sale and Contribution Agreement (such proceedings being herein collectively called Bankruptcy Proceedings), the Senior Interests shall first be paid and performed in full and in cash before the Holder shall be entitled to receive and to retain any payment or distribution in respect of this Loan Agreement or any Subordinated Loan. In order to implement the foregoing, in the event of any Bankruptcy Proceedings relating to the Borrower: (i) all payments and distributions of any kind or character in respect of this Loan Agreement or any Subordinated Loan to which the Holder would be entitled except for this clause (b) shall be made directly to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Senior Interest Holders); (ii) the Holder shall promptly file a claim or claims, in the form required in any Bankruptcy Proceedings, for the full outstanding amount owed under this Loan Agreement (and if the Holder does not promptly do so, the Administrative Agent may), and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause said claim or claims to be approved and all payments and other distributions in respect thereof to be made directly to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Senior Interest Holders) until the Senior Interests shall have been paid in full and in cash; and (iii) the Holder hereby irrevocably agrees that the Administrative Agent (acting on behalf of the Secured Parties), may in the name of the Holder or otherwise, demand, sue for, collect, receive and receipt for any and all such payments or distributions, and file and prove in any such Bankruptcy Proceedings with respect to any and all claims of the Holder relating to this Loan Agreement or any Subordinated Loan, in each case until the Senior Interests shall have been paid in full and in cash;
(c) In the event that the Holder receives any payment or other distribution of any kind or character from the Borrower or from any other source whatsoever, in respect of this Loan Agreement or any Subordinated Loan, other than as expressly permitted by the terms of this Loan Agreement, such payment or other distribution shall be received in trust for the Senior Interest Holders and shall be turned over by the Holder to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Senior Interest Holders) forthwith (in each case no later than two (2) Business Days after receipt thereof). The Holder will mark its books and records so as clearly to indicate that this Loan Agreement and the Subordinated Loans are subordinated in accordance with the terms hereof. All payments and distributions received by the Administrative Agent in respect of this Loan Agreement or any Subordinated Loan, to the extent received in or converted into cash, may be applied by the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Senior Interest Holders) first to the payment of any and all reasonable expenses (including Attorney Costs) paid or incurred by the Senior Interest Holders in enforcing these Subordination Provisions, or in endeavoring to collect or realize upon this Loan Agreement and the Subordinated Loans, and any balance thereof shall, solely as between the Borrower and the Senior Interest Holders, be
Exhibit B-4
applied by the Administrative Agent (in the order of application set forth in Section 3.01(a) of the Receivables Financing Agreement) toward the payment of the Senior Interests or as otherwise required under Section 3.01(a) of the Receivables Financing Agreement; but as between the Borrower and the Originators, no such payments or distributions of any kind or character shall be deemed to be payments or distributions in respect of the Subordinated Loans;
(d) Notwithstanding any payments or distributions received by the Senior Interest Holders in respect of this Loan Agreement or any Subordinated Loan, while any Bankruptcy Proceedings are pending the Holder shall not be subrogated to the then existing rights of the Senior Interest Holders in respect of the Senior Interests until the Senior Interests have been paid in full and in cash. If no Bankruptcy Proceedings are pending, the Holder shall only be entitled to exercise any subrogation rights that it may acquire (by reason of a payment or distribution to the Senior Interest Holders in respect of this Loan Agreement or any Subordinated Loan) to the extent funds are expressly available for that purpose pursuant to Section 3.01(a) of the Receivables Financing Agreement and that any payment arising out of the exercise of such rights would be permitted under Section 7.01(r) of the Receivables Financing Agreement;
(e) These Subordination Provisions are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Holder, on the one hand, and the Senior Interest Holders on the other hand. Nothing contained in these Subordination Provisions or elsewhere in this Loan Agreement is intended to or shall impair, as between the Borrower, its creditors (other than the Senior Interest Holders) and the Holder, the Borrowers obligation, which is unconditional and absolute, to pay the Holder the principal of and interest on the Subordinated Loans as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof or to affect the relative rights of the Holder and creditors of the Borrower (other than the Senior Interest Holders);
(f) The Holder shall not, until the Senior Interests have been paid and performed in full and in cash, (i) cancel, waive, forgive, transfer or assign, or commence legal proceedings to enforce or collect, or subordinate to any obligation of the Borrower, howsoever created, arising or evidenced, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, or now or hereafter existing, or due or to become due, other than the Senior Interests, this Loan Agreement or any rights in respect hereof or (ii) convert this Loan Agreement or any Subordinated Loan into an equity interest in the Borrower, unless the Holder shall, in either case, have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent;
(g) The Holder shall not, without the advance written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, commence, or join with any other Person in commencing, any Bankruptcy Proceedings with respect to the Borrower until at least one year and one day shall have passed since the Final Payout Date;
(h) If, at any time, any payment (in whole or in part) of any Senior Interest is rescinded or must be restored or returned by a Senior Interest Holder (whether in connection with Bankruptcy Proceedings or otherwise), these Subordination Provisions shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, as though such payment had not been made;
Exhibit B-5
(i) Each of the Senior Interest Holders may, from time to time, at its sole discretion, without notice to the Holder, and without waiving any of its rights under these Subordination Provisions, take any or all of the following actions: (i) retain or obtain an interest in any property to secure any of the Senior Interests; (ii) retain or obtain the primary or secondary obligations of any other obligor or obligors with respect to any of the Senior Interests; (iii) extend or renew for one or more periods (whether or not longer than the original period), alter or exchange any of the Senior Interests, or release or compromise any obligation of any nature with respect to any of the Senior Interests; (iv) amend, supplement, amend and restate, or otherwise modify any Transaction Document; and (v) release its security interest in, or surrender, release or permit any substitution or exchange for all or any part of any rights or property securing any of the Senior Interests, or extend or renew for one or more periods (whether or not longer than the original period), or release, compromise, alter or exchange any obligations of any nature of any obligor with respect to any such rights or property;
(j) The Holder hereby waives: (i) notice of acceptance of these Subordination Provisions by any of the Senior Interest Holders; (ii) notice of the existence, creation, non-payment or non-performance of all or any of the Senior Interests; and (iii) all diligence in enforcement, collection or protection of, or realization upon, the Senior Interests, or any thereof, or any security therefor;
(k) Each of the Senior Interest Holders may, from time to time, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Transaction Documents to which such Persons are party, but without notice to the Holder, assign or transfer any or all of the Senior Interests, or any interest therein; and, notwithstanding any such assignment or transfer or any subsequent assignment or transfer thereof, such Senior Interests shall be and remain Senior Interests for the purposes of these Subordination Provisions, and every immediate and successive assignee or transferee of any of the Senior Interests or of any interest of such assignee or transferee in the Senior Interests shall be entitled to the benefits of these Subordination Provisions to the same extent as if such assignee or transferee were the assignor or transferor; and
(l) These Subordination Provisions constitute a continuing offer from the Holder to all Persons who become the holders of, or who continue to hold, Senior Interests; and these Subordination Provisions are made for the benefit of the Senior Interest Holders, and the Administrative Agent may proceed to enforce such provisions on behalf of each of such Persons.
11. General. No failure or delay on the part of any Originator (or the Servicer on its behalf) in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power or right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right. No amendment, restatement, modification or waiver of, or consent with respect to, any provision of this Loan Agreement shall in any event be effective unless (i) the same shall be in writing and signed and delivered by the Borrower, the Servicer and the Administrative Agent and (ii) all consents required for such actions under the Transaction Documents shall have been received by the appropriate Persons. Any such amendment, restatement, modification or waiver entered into by the Servicer shall be deemed to have been entered into by the Servicer on its own behalf and on behalf of each Originator.
Exhibit B-6
12. Maximum Interest. Notwithstanding anything in this Loan Agreement to the contrary, the Borrower shall never be required to pay unearned interest on any amount outstanding hereunder and shall never be required to pay interest on the outstanding principal amount of the Subordinated Loans at a rate in excess of the maximum nonusurious interest rate that may be contracted for, charged or received under applicable federal or state law (such maximum rate being herein called the Highest Lawful Rate). If the effective rate of interest which would otherwise be payable under this Loan Agreement would exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, or if the Holder shall receive any unearned interest or shall receive monies that are deemed to constitute interest which would increase the effective rate of interest payable by the Borrower under this Loan Agreement to a rate in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then (i) the amount of interest which would otherwise be payable by the Borrower under this Loan Agreement shall be reduced to the amount allowed by Law, and (ii) any unearned interest paid by the Borrower or any interest paid by the Borrower in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate shall be refunded to the Borrower. Without limitation of the foregoing, all calculations of the rate of interest contracted for, charged or received by the Holder under this Loan Agreement that are made for the purpose of determining whether such rate exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to the applicable Originator (such Highest Lawful Rate being herein called the Maximum Permissible Rate) shall be made, to the extent permitted by usury laws applicable to the Holder (now or hereafter enacted), by amortizing, prorating and spreading in equal parts during the actual period during which any amount has been outstanding hereunder all interest at any time contracted for, charged or received by the Holder in connection herewith. If at any time and from time to time (i) the amount of interest payable to the Holder on any date shall be computed at the Maximum Permissible Rate pursuant to the provisions of the foregoing sentence and (ii) in respect of any subsequent interest computation period the amount of interest otherwise payable to the Holder would be less than the amount of interest payable to the Holder computed at the Maximum Permissible Rate, then the amount of interest; shall equal the total amount of interest which would have been payable to the Holder if the total amount of interest had been computed without giving effect to the provisions of the foregoing sentence.
13. Assignability. Neither the Servicer nor any Originator may sell, transfer or assign (by operation of law or otherwise) this Loan Agreement or any Subordinated Loan, unless (i) such assignment is from an Originator to the surviving Originator in connection with a merger or consolidation between the Originators or (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have otherwise given its prior written consent thereto in its sole discretion.
14. GOVERNING LAW. THIS LOAN AGREEMENT, INCLUDING THE RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF THE PARTIES HERETO, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (INCLUDING SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, BUT WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY OTHER CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS THEREOF).
Exhibit B-7
15. SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY NEW YORK STATE OR FEDERAL COURT SITTING IN NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK, IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS LOAN AGREEMENT, AND EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH NEW YORK STATE COURT OR, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT.
16. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

BACKGROUND
1. The Buyer is a special purpose limited liability company, all of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests of which are owned by the U.S. Servicer.
2. The Originators generate Receivables in the ordinary course of their businesses.

3. The Originators and the Buyer intend each such sale described in paragraph 2 above to be a sale by way of an assignment of each Originators right, title, benefit and interest in or to the UK Assigned Receivables and the UK Assigned Related Rights to the Buyer. The Originators and the Buyer do not intend the transactions hereunder to be characterized as a loan from the Buyer to any Originator.
4. The Buyer intends to pledge the Receivables and the Related Rights transferred in accordance with this Agreement to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Lenders) pursuant to UK Security Agreement.
5. This Agreement constitutes a Transfer Agreement as such term is defined in the Receivables Financing Agreement, and each Person from time to time party hereto as an Originator constitutes an Originator as such term is defined in the Receivables Financing Agreement.
6. Concurrently herewith, the Buyer, as borrower, Sabre, as intercompany lender, and the Servicer, are entering into a subordinated loan agreement substantially in the form attached as Exhibit B (the Initial Subordinated Loan Agreement and, together with any other subordinated loan agreement entered into by any Originator after the date of this Agreement, the Subordinated Loan Agreements). As used herein, Subordinated Loan has the meaning set forth in the Subordinated Loan Agreements.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements herein contained, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
SALES
SECTION 1.1 Agreement to Sell. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, each Originator agrees to sell (by way of assignment pursuant to Section 1.2 (Assignment) to the Buyer, and the Buyer agrees to purchase and accept from such Originator, from time to time on or after the Closing Date but before the Sale Termination Date (as defined in Section 1.4), all of such Originators right, title and interest in and to:
(a) each Receivable of such Originator that existed and was owing to such Originator at the closing of such Originators business on the Cut-Off Date (as defined below);
2
(b) each Receivable generated by such Originator from and including the Cut-Off Date to but excluding the Sale Termination Date; and
(c) all Related Rights.
All sales of Receivables and Related Rights hereunder shall be made without recourse except as expressly set forth herein, but shall be made pursuant to, and in reliance upon, the representations, warranties and covenants of the Originators set forth in this Agreement. No obligation or liability to any Obligor on any Receivable or any related Contract is intended to be assumed by the Buyer (or its assignees) hereunder, and any such assumption is expressly disclaimed. The Buyers foregoing commitment to purchase and accept Receivables and Related Rights is herein called the Purchase Facility.
As used herein:
Cut-Off Date means (a) with respect to Sabre, February 28 2023, and (b) with respect to any other Originator that first becomes a party hereto after the date hereof, the Business Day prior to the date on which such Originator becomes a party hereto or such other date as the Buyer and such Originator agree to in writing.
Related Rights means, with respect to any Receivable:
(a) any goods (including Returned Goods), and documentation of title evidencing the shipment or storage of any goods (including Returned Goods), the sale of which gave rise to such Receivable;
(b) all instruments and chattel paper that evidence such Receivable;
(c) all letter of credit rights and other security interests or liens and property subject thereto from time to time purporting to secure payment of such Receivable, whether pursuant to the Contract related to such Receivable or otherwise, together with all UCC financing statements or similar filings relating thereto;
(d) all rights, interests and claims under the related Contracts and all guaranties, indemnities, insurance and other agreements (including the related Contract) or arrangements of whatever character from time to time, in each case, supporting or securing payment of such Receivable or otherwise relating to such Receivable, whether pursuant to the Contract related to such Receivable or otherwise;
(e) all books and records to the extent related to any of the foregoing, and all rights, remedies, powers, privileges, title and interest (but not obligations) in and to each Lock-Box and all Collection Accounts, into which any Collections or other proceeds with respect to such Receivables may be deposited, and any related investment property acquired with any such Collections or other proceeds (as such term is defined in the applicable UCC); and
3
(f) all Collections and other proceeds (as defined in the UCC) of such Receivable and any of the foregoing.
SECTION 1.2 Assignment.
(a) Closing Date Purchases. Effective on the Closing Date, each Originator hereby assigns absolutely to the Buyer with full title guarantee, and the Buyer hereby purchases and accepts, such Originators entire right, title and interest in, to and under (i) each UK Assigned Receivable that existed and was owing to such Originator at the Cut-Off Date, (ii) each UK Assigned Receivable generated by such Originator from and including the Cut-Off Date, to and including the Closing Date, and (iii) all UK Assigned Related Rights with respect thereto.
(b) Subsequent Purchases. After the Closing Date, until the Sale Termination Date, each UK Assigned Receivable and the UK Assigned Related Rights generated by each Originator shall be, and shall be deemed to have been, assigned absolutely by such Originator with full title guarantee to the Buyer immediately (and without further action) upon the creation of such UK Assigned Receivable and UK Assigned Related Rights.
SECTION 1.3 Declaration of Trust.
(a) Trust. If any Receivable which has been transferred, or purported to have been transferred, to the Company pursuant to this Agreement (i) is not freely assignable pursuant to the terms of the related Contract; or (ii) cannot be assigned, transferred or sold to the Company as contemplated in Section 1.1 and 1.2 for any reason, or for any reason is not (or determined not to have been) assigned, transferred and sold to the Company in contravention of the intent of this Agreement, then, automatically in the case of limb (i) above or with effect from the date of the purported assignment thereof in the case of limb (ii) above, the Originator irrevocably undertakes to hold, and hereby declares that it holds, on trust such Receivable (including the Related Rights) and any proceeds thereof for and to the order of the Company absolutely.]
(b) Impact of Trust. The provisions of Section 1.3 shall be without prejudice to (i) any obligations or representations of the Originator hereunder in respect of any Receivable; and (ii) any liabilities of the Originator or rights of the Company in relation to any breach or inaccuracy of the obligations or representations of the Originator referred to in limb (i) above.
(c) Purpose of Trust. Each trust established pursuant to this Agreement will be established for the purpose of enabling the relevant Originator to hold the assets on bare trust for the Buyer. No Originator shall hold itself out or act in a manner inconsistent with acting merely as trustee.
SECTION 1.4 Consideration for Purchases. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Buyer agrees to make Purchase Price payments to the Originators pursuant to Article III.
SECTION 1.5 Sale Termination Date. The Sale Termination Date shall be the earlier to occur of (a) the date the Purchase Facility is terminated by Buyer (with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent) pursuant to Section 8.2(a) and (b) the Final Payout Date.
4
SECTION 1.6 Intention of the Parties(a) .
(a) It is the express intent of each Originator and the Buyer that each conveyance by such Originator to the Buyer of the Receivables pursuant to this Agreement, including without limitation, all Receivables, if any, constituting general intangibles as defined in the UCC, and all Related Rights be construed as an absolute, irrevocable, valid and perfected sale by way of assignment of each Originators right, title, benefit and interest in the UK Assigned Receivables and UK Assigned Related Rights to the Buyer (rather than the grant of a security interest to secure a debt or other obligation of such Originator) and that the right, title, benefit and interest in and to such Receivables and Related Rights assigned to the Buyer, or held on trust by such Originator for the benefit of the Buyer, shall not be assets of any Originator (including in the event that the relevant Originator is or becomes insolvent under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation) or be subject to any Adverse Claim of any other Person.
(b) Each Originator and the Buyer agree to treat each such transaction as a sale for all purposes under applicable law and accounting principles, including in their respective books, records, computer files, tax returns, regulatory and governmental filings (and shall reflect such sale in their respective financial statements).
(c) No Originator shall have any continuing proprietary interest in the UK Assigned Receivables or UK Assigned Related Rights that are assigned pursuant to Section 1.2 (Assignment) other than, to the extent applicable, bare legal title.
(d) Other than as expressly provided for in this Agreement, the Buyer is not obliged at any time to reassign the UK Assigned Receivables or UK Assigned Related Rights.
(e) The right, title and interest in and to such Receivables and Related Rights conveyed to the Buyer shall be prior to the rights of, and enforceable against all other Persons at any time, including, without limitation, lien creditors, secured lenders, lenders and any Person claiming through such Originator.
ARTICLE II
PURCHASE RECORDS; PURCHASE PRICE CALCULATION
SECTION 2.1 Purchase Records. On the Closing Date and on or prior to each date when a Monthly Report is due to be delivered under the Receivables Financing Agreement (each such date, a Monthly Purchase Record Date), the Servicer shall record in its books and records, which it shall maintain and make available to the Buyer and each Originator upon request, the following information (the Purchase Records):
(a) Receivables purchased by the Buyer from any Originator on the Closing Date (in the case of the Purchase Records to be recorded on the Closing Date);
(b) Receivables purchased by the Buyer from any Originator during the calendar month immediately preceding such Monthly Purchase Record Date (in the case of each Monthly Purchase Record Date after the Closing Date); and
5
(c) the calculations of reductions of the Purchase Price for any Receivables as provided in Section 3.3(a) and (b).
For the avoidance of doubt, no failure by any Servicer to maintain any Purchase Records, or the existence of any error therein, shall derogate from the Buyers and its assigns, right, title and interest in, to or under any Receivables or Related Rights conveyed or purported to be conveyed to Buyer hereunder.
SECTION 2.2 Purchase Price Calculation. The Purchase Price to be paid to each Originator on any Payment Date in accordance with the terms of Article III for the Receivables and the Related Rights that are purchased hereunder from such Originator shall be determined in accordance with the following formula:
PP | = | OB x FMVD | ||
where: | ||||
PP | = | Purchase Price for each Receivable as calculated on the relevant Payment Date. | ||
OB |
= | The Outstanding Balance of such Receivable on the relevant Payment Date. | ||
FMVD | = | Fair Market Value Discount, as measured on such Payment Date, which is equal to 1 minus the Yield Reserve Percentage. |
COF Rate means the Prime Rate in effect as of the most recently occurred December or June month end.
Payment Date means (i) the Closing Date and (ii) each Business Day thereafter that the Originators are open for business. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the sale of Receivables and the application of proceeds with respect thereto shall occur daily; provided that settlement as to the reporting or presentation of such transactions shall occur on the Monthly Purchase Record Date.
ARTICLE III
PURCHASE PRICE PAYMENTS
SECTION 3.1 Purchase Price Payments. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Buyer shall pay to each Originator the Purchase Price for the Receivables and Related Rights sold to the Buyer by the Originator on each Payment Date as follows (and in the following order of priority):
(a) first, the Buyer shall pay such Purchase Price to each Originator (if any) in cash to the extent the Buyer has cash available therefor (including after giving effect to any Investments made under the Receivables Financing Agreement and the receipt of Collections available for such purpose in accordance with the Receivables Financing Agreement, including pursuant to a Release);
6
(b) second, if the Borrowers Net Worth is then less than the Required Capital Amount, the Buyer shall set aside the amount of its cash available therefor (including after giving effect to cash payments made pursuant to clause (a) above and any Investments made under the Receivables Financing Agreement and the receipt of Collections available for such purpose in accordance with the Receivables Financing Agreement, including pursuant to a Release) necessary to repay any Subordinated Loans on the next-occurring Settlement Date in an amount sufficient to cause the Borrowers Net Worth to be equal to or in excess of the Required Capital Amount, which cash the Buyer (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall hold in trust for distribution (as Collections) in accordance with Section 3.01(a) of the Receivables Financing Agreement on such next-occurring Settlement Date;
(c) [reserved]; and
(d) third, to the extent any Purchase Price payment remains due to an Originator after giving effect to clauses (a) through (b) above on such Payment Date, a Subordinated Loan shall automatically be made by such Originator to the Buyer under the applicable Subordinated Loan Agreement in an initial principal amount equal to the amount of such remaining Purchase Price payment, and the proceeds of such Subordinated Loan shall be used by the Buyer to make payment in full to such Originator of such remaining Purchase Price.
For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding the foregoing, no Collections or other cash shall be deemed available to the Buyer to make any payment contemplated by this Section unless such Collections or other cash are available to the Buyer for such purpose pursuant to the terms of the Receivables Financing Agreement.
The U.S. Servicer, as owner of all Equity Interests in the Buyer, and Sabre as Servicer, shall cause any Collections that are Released to the Buyer from time to time pursuant to the Receivables Financing Agreement to be applied by or on behalf of the Buyer in accordance with this Section 3.1.
SECTION 3.2 Subordinated Loans; Subordinated Loan Agreement. Each Originator (i) agrees to enter into a Subordinated Loan Agreement on the date of this Agreement (in the case of Sabre) and on the date on which it enters into a Joinder Agreement (in the case of any Persons which becomes an Originator after the date of this Agreement) and (ii) agrees to be bound by, and to comply with, all the terms of the Subordinated Loan Agreement to which it is a party, including, without limitation, the subordination provisions set forth therein. Each Subordinated Loan shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the applicable Subordinated Loan Agreement. The Servicer shall make all appropriate record keeping entries with respect to any amounts outstanding under the Subordinated Loan Agreements as in effect and outstanding on each Payment Date, to reflect payments and credits made (or deemed made) pursuant to Section 3.3, and absent manifest error, such entries shall constitute prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information so entered.
SECTION 3.3 Settlement as to Specific Receivables and Dilution.
(a) If on any day:
7
(i) any of the representations or warranties of an Originator set forth in Sections 5.8, 5.13, 5.22, 5.23, 5.24, 5.25, 5.27, 5.28 or 5.29 are not true with respect to any Receivable conveyed to the Buyer hereunder; or
(ii) the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable conveyed to the Buyer hereunder is reduced or is cancelled as a result of (A) any defective, rejected, returned, repossessed or foreclosed goods or services, (B) any revision, cancellation, allowance, rebate, credit memo, discount or other adjustment made by the Originators, any other Borrower-Related Party or any Affiliate thereof, or (C) any setoff, counterclaim or dispute between any Borrower-Related Party or any Affiliate thereof and an Obligor;
then, in either case, such Originator shall be deemed to have received a Collection on such Receivable on such day in an amount equal to (x) in the case of clause (i) above, the affected Receivables Outstanding Balance in full, and (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, amount equal to the positive difference between (A) such Receivables Outstanding Balance prior to such reduction or cancelation and (B) such Receivables Outstanding Balance after such reduction or cancelation. Collections deemed to have been received by the Originators pursuant to this Section 3.3(a) are referred herein to as Deemed Collections.
(b) If an Originator is deemed to receive any Deemed Collections pursuant to Section 3.3(a), then such Originator shall within two (2) Business Days thereof pay in cash to a Collection Account (or as otherwise directed by the Administrative Agent at such time) for the benefit of the Buyer and the Lender Parties (as Buyers assignees) an amount equal to:
(i) if the Termination Date has not occurred and no Event of Default or a Potential Default has occurred and is continuing, the lesser of (x) the full amount of such Deemed Collections and (y) the amount necessary (by applying such amount as a Collection pursuant to Section 3.01(a) of the Receivables Financing Agreement) to eliminate any Borrowing Base Deficit that exists at such time; or
(ii) if the Termination Date has occurred or an Event of Default or a Potential Default has occurred and is continuing, the full amount of such Deemed Collection.
(c) If any Deemed Collection (or portion thereof) is not paid in cash to a Collection Account (or as otherwise directed by the Administrative Agent) due to the operation of clause (b)(i) above, the amount of such Deemed Collection or portion thereof (as the case may be) shall be applied as follows:
(i) first, as a deemed repayment of any Subordinated Loans then owed to the applicable Originator until such Subordinated Loans have been repaid in full; and
(ii) second, as a credit against future Purchase Price payments otherwise due (or to become due) to the applicable Originator hereunder.
8
(d) If, on any day, the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable purchased hereunder is subject to any withholding or deduction for or on account of Tax (other than Taxes imposed or based on, or measured by reference to, the net income or receipts of the Buyer, franchise Taxes or branch profits Taxes), then, without duplication, either: (1) the Purchase Price with respect to such Receivable shall be reduced by the amount of such withholding Tax (provided that the purchase price shall not be reduced below nil) and shall be accounted to such Originator as provided in clause (c) above; or (2) such Originator shall on demand pay to the Buyer, and fully indemnify the Buyer against, the amount of any such withholding or deduction for or on account of Tax on an after-Tax basis such that the Buyer is left with the full amount which would have been received by it had no such withholding or deduction for or on account of Tax been required to be made.
ARTICLE IV

SECTION 4.2 Additional Originators. Additional Persons may be added as Originators hereunder, with the prior written consent of the Buyer and the Administrative Agent (each acting in its sole discretion); provided that the following conditions are satisfied or waived in writing by the Buyer and Administrative Agent on or before the date of such addition:
(a) the Servicer shall have given the Buyer, the Administrative Agent and each Lender at least thirty (30) days prior written notice (or such shorter period as may be agreed in writing by the Administrative Agent) of such proposed addition and the identity of the proposed additional Originator and shall have provided such other information with respect to such proposed additional Originator as the Buyer, the Administrative Agent or any Lender may reasonably request;
(b) such proposed additional Originator shall have executed and delivered to the Buyer and the Administrative Agent an agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (a Joinder Agreement);
(c) such proposed additional Originator shall have delivered to the Buyer, the Administrative Agent and each Lender each of the documents, certifications, opinions of counsel and lien searches with respect to such Originator, which documents, certifications, opinions of counsel and lien searches were delivered to the Administrative Agent as conditions precedent to effectiveness of the Receivables Financing Agreement on the Closing Date with respect to Sabre, in each case, in form and substance satisfactory to the Buyer, the Administrative Agent and each Lender;

Therefore, from and after the date hereof, the Originator shall take all reasonable steps necessary to make it apparent to third Persons that the Buyer is an entity with assets and liabilities distinct from those of the Originators and any other Persons, and is not a division of any Originator, its Affiliates 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 Originator shall take such actions as shall be required in order that:
23
(a) the Originator shall not be involved in the day to day management of the Buyer;
(b) the Originator shall maintain separate records and books of account from the Buyer and otherwise will observe corporate formalities and have a separate area from the Buyer for its business (which may be located at the same address as the Buyer, and, to the extent that it and the Buyer 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);
(c) the financial statements and books and records of the Originator shall be prepared after the date of creation of the Buyer to reflect and shall reflect the separate existence of the Buyer; provided, that the Buyers assets and liabilities may be included in a consolidated financial statement issued by an Affiliate of the Buyer; provided, however, that any such consolidated financial statement or the notes thereto shall make clear that the Buyers assets are not available to satisfy the obligations of such Affiliate;
(d) except as permitted by the Receivables Financing Agreement, (i) the Originator shall maintain its assets (including deposit accounts) separately from the assets (including deposit accounts) of the Buyer and (ii) the Originators assets, and records relating thereto, have not been, are not, and shall not be, commingled with those of the Buyer;
(e) the Originator shall not act as an agent for the Buyer (except in the capacity of Servicer or a Sub-Servicer);
(f) the Originator shall not conduct any of the business of the Buyer in its own name (except in the capacity of Servicer or a Sub-Servicer);

(l) the Originator shall identify and hold itself out as a separate and distinct entity from the Buyer;

24
(n) the Originator shall not enter into, or be a party to, any transaction with the Buyer, except in the ordinary course of its business and on terms which are intrinsically fair and not less favourable to it than would be obtained in a comparable arms-length transaction with an unrelated third party;
(o) the Originator shall not pay the salaries of the Buyers employees, if any; and
(p) to the extent not already covered in paragraphs (a) through (o) above, the Originator shall comply and/or act in accordance with all of the other separateness covenants set forth in Section 7.03 of the Receivables Financing Agreement.

SECTION 7.7 Tax Matters
(a) Each Originator shall pay when due any applicable sales or transfer taxes and duties payable in connection with the transfer (whether by way of assignment or by way of a declaration of trust) of the relevant Receivables under this Agreement; excluding any such taxes that (A) are Excluded Taxes or (B) are imposed with respect to (or as a result of) an assignment or participation by a Lender pursuant to the Receivables Financing Agreement.

If VAT is payable on any supply made under this Agreement, for which the consideration is exclusive of VAT, the recipient will pay to the supplier an amount equal to the VAT payable on the supply at the same time it makes the relevant payment to the supplier, unless the recipient is itself obliged to account for VAT directly to the relevant tax authority under any reverse charge mechanism.

Any amount which the Buyer 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 corporate obligation of, the Buyer by such Originator for any such insufficiency unless and until the provisions of the foregoing sentence are satisfied. The agreements in this Section 10.12 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, this Loan Agreement is the Subordinated Loan Agreement described in, and is subject to the terms and conditions set forth in, that certain Sale Agreement, dated as of [], 2023 (as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the Sale Agreement), among the Borrower, as buyer, [] as servicer, and the various entities from time to time party thereto as Originators;

NOW THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

Subordination Provisions means, collectively, clauses (a) through (l) of paragraph 10 hereof.
2. Subordinated Loan Facility.
(a) Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Loan Agreement and the Sale Agreement, the Intercompany Lender hereby agrees to make Subordinated Loans denominated in U.S. Dollars to the Borrower on each Payment Date in an amount equal to the unpaid Purchase Price owing by the Borrower to the Intercompany Lender on such Payment Date (including as contemplated by Section 3.1 of the Sale Agreement).
(b) Making Loans. A Subordinated Loan shall be made on each Payment Date by the Intercompany Lender in the amount of the unpaid Purchase Price owing by the Borrower to the Intercompany Lender on such Purchase Date as determined pursuant to Section 3.1 of the Sale Agreement, in each case, without any further action or notice on the part of the Borrower, any Originator, the Intercompany Lender or any other Person, and the proceeds of such Subordinated Loan shall be used by the Borrower to make payment in full to the Intercompany Lender of such unpaid Purchase Price. No Subordinated Loan may be made by the Intercompany Lender to the Borrower for any other purpose.
3. Records. The Intercompany Lender is authorized and directed by the Borrower to enter in its books and records, the date and amount of each Subordinated Loan made by it and the amount of each payment of principal made by the Borrower on such Subordinated Loans. Absent manifest error, such entries shall constitute prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information so entered; provided that neither the failure of the Intercompany Lender or the Servicer to make any such entry nor any error therein shall expand, limit or affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder.
4. Interest. The Borrower agrees to pay interest on the outstanding principal amount of each Subordinated Loan from the date such Subordinated Loan has been made to the date on which such amount is repaid in full at a rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate + 1.00%. Interest accrued hereunder shall be computed for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a 365- or 366-day year, as the case may be.
5. Interest Payment Dates. Subject to the Subordination Provisions set forth below, the Borrower shall pay accrued interest on the outstanding principal amount of each Subordinated Loan on each Settlement Date, and shall pay accrued interest on the amount of each principal payment made in cash on a date other than a Settlement Date at the time of such principal payment. Such payments shall be made solely from funds available to the Borrower therefor in accordance with the terms of the Receivables Financing Agreement.
Exhibit B-2
6. Principal Payment Dates. Subject to the Subordination Provisions set forth below, payments of the principal amount of the Subordinated Loans shall be made as follows:

(c) The principal amount of and accrued interest on the Subordinated Loans may be prepaid by, and in the sole discretion of, the Borrower on any Business Day without premium or penalty.

7. Payment Mechanics. All payments of principal and interest hereunder are to be made in lawful money of the United States of America in the manner specified in Article III of the Sale Agreement.
8. Register. The Borrower shall (or shall cause the Servicer, on its behalf, to) maintain a register, in which register shall be recorded the amount of each Subordinated Loan made hereunder and the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Holder. The entries in the register shall be conclusive and in the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Servicer, the Intercompany Lender and their registered assigns hereunder and such register, the register shall control in the absence of manifest error.
9. Enforcement Expenses. In addition to and not in limitation of the foregoing, but subject to the Subordination Provisions set forth below and to any limitation imposed by Law, the Borrower agrees to pay all expenses, including Attorney Costs, incurred by the Intercompany Lender in seeking to collect any amounts payable hereunder which are not paid when due.
10. Subordination Provisions. The Borrower covenants and agrees, and the Intercompany Lender and any other assignee, transferee or pledgee of this Loan Agreement or any Subordinated Loans (collectively, the Holder), by its acceptance of any sale, assignment, transfer or pledge of this Loan Agreement or any Subordinated Loans, likewise covenants and agrees on behalf of itself and any Holder, that the payment of the principal amount of and interest on the Subordinated Loans and any other payments owing under this Loan Agreement are hereby expressly subordinated in right of payment to the payment and performance of the Senior Interests to the extent and in the manner set forth in the following clauses of this Section 10:
Exhibit B-3
(a) No payment or other distribution of the Borrowers assets of any kind or character, whether in cash, securities, or other rights or property, shall be made on account of this Loan Agreement or any Subordinated Loan except to the extent such payment or other distribution is either (i) made from funds expressly available for such purpose pursuant to Section 3.01(a) of the Receivables Financing Agreement and such payment or other distribution is permitted under Section 7.01(r) of the Receivables Financing Agreement or (ii) made on or after the Final Payout Date;
(b) In the event of any dissolution, winding up, liquidation, administration, readjustment, reorganization, moratorium or other similar event relating to the Borrower, whether voluntary or involuntary, partial or complete, and whether in bankruptcy, insolvency, administration or receivership proceedings, or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or any other marshalling of the assets and liabilities of the Borrower or any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower other than as permitted by the Sale Agreement (such proceedings being herein collectively called Bankruptcy Proceedings), the Senior Interests shall first be paid and performed in full and in cash before the Holder shall be entitled to receive and to retain any payment or distribution in respect of this Loan Agreement or any Subordinated Loan. In order to implement the foregoing, in the event of any Bankruptcy Proceedings relating to the Borrower: (i) all payments and distributions of any kind or character in respect of this Loan Agreement or any Subordinated Loan to which the Holder would be entitled except for this clause (b) shall be made directly to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Senior Interest Holders); (ii) the Holder shall promptly file a claim or claims, in the form required in any Bankruptcy Proceedings, for the full outstanding amount owed under this Loan Agreement (and if the Holder does not promptly do so, the Administrative Agent may), and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause said claim or claims to be approved and all payments and other distributions in respect thereof to be made directly to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Senior Interest Holders) until the Senior Interests shall have been paid in full and in cash; and (iii) the Holder hereby irrevocably agrees that the Administrative Agent (acting on behalf of the Secured Parties), may in the name of the Holder or otherwise, demand, sue for, collect, receive and receipt for any and all such payments or distributions, and file and prove in any such Bankruptcy Proceedings with respect to any and all claims of the Holder relating to this Loan Agreement or any Subordinated Loan, in each case until the Senior Interests shall have been paid in full and in cash;
(c) In the event that the Holder receives any payment or other distribution of any kind or character from the Borrower or from any other source whatsoever, in respect of this Loan Agreement or any Subordinated Loan, other than as expressly permitted by the terms of this Loan Agreement, such payment or other distribution shall be received in trust for the Senior Interest Holders and shall be turned over by the Holder to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Senior Interest Holders) forthwith (in each case no later than two (2) Business Days after receipt thereof). The Holder will mark its books and records so as clearly to indicate that this Loan Agreement and the Subordinated Loans are subordinated in accordance with the terms hereof. All payments and distributions received by the Administrative Agent in respect of this Loan Agreement or any Subordinated Loan, to the extent received in or converted into cash, may be applied by the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Senior Interest Holders) first to the payment of any and all reasonable expenses (including Attorney Costs) paid or incurred by the Senior Interest Holders in enforcing these Subordination Provisions, or in endeavouring to collect or realize upon this Loan Agreement and the Subordinated Loans, and any
Exhibit B-4
balance thereof shall, solely as between the Borrower and the Senior Interest Holders, be applied by the Administrative Agent (in the order of application set forth in Section 3.01(a) of the Receivables Financing Agreement) toward the payment of the Senior Interests or as otherwise required under Section 3.01(a) of the Receivables Financing Agreement; but as between the Borrower and the Intercompany Lender, no such payments or distributions of any kind or character shall be deemed to be payments or distributions in respect of the Subordinated Loans;
(d) Notwithstanding any payments or distributions received by the Senior Interest Holders in respect of this Loan Agreement or any Subordinated Loan, while any Bankruptcy Proceedings are pending the Holder shall not be subrogated to the then existing rights of the Senior Interest Holders in respect of the Senior Interests until the Senior Interests have been paid in full and in cash. If no Bankruptcy Proceedings are pending, the Holder shall only be entitled to exercise any subrogation rights that it may acquire (by reason of a payment or distribution to the Senior Interest Holders in respect of this Loan Agreement or any Subordinated Loan) to the extent funds are expressly available for that purpose pursuant to Section 3.01(a) of the Receivables Financing Agreement and that any payment arising out of the exercise of such rights would be permitted under Section 7.01(r) of the Receivables Financing Agreement;
(e) These Subordination Provisions are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Holder, on the one hand, and the Senior Interest Holders on the other hand. Nothing contained in these Subordination Provisions or elsewhere in this Loan Agreement is intended to or shall impair, as between the Borrower, its creditors (other than the Senior Interest Holders) and the Holder, the Borrowers obligation, which is unconditional and absolute, to pay the Holder the principal of and interest on the Subordinated Loans as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof or to affect the relative rights of the Holder and creditors of the Borrower (other than the Senior Interest Holders);
(f) The Holder shall not, until the Senior Interests have been paid and performed in full and in cash, (i) cancel, waive, forgive, transfer or assign, or commence legal proceedings to enforce or collect, or subordinate to any obligation of the Borrower, howsoever created, arising or evidenced, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, or now or hereafter existing, or due or to become due, other than the Senior Interests, this Loan Agreement or any rights in respect hereof or (ii) convert this Loan Agreement or any Subordinated Loan into an equity interest in the Borrower, unless the Holder shall, in either case, have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent;
(g) The Holder shall not, without the advance written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, commence, or join with any other Person in commencing, any Bankruptcy Proceedings with respect to the Borrower until at least one year and one day shall have passed since the Final Payout Date;
(h) If, at any time, any payment (in whole or in part) of any Senior Interest is rescinded or must be restored or returned by a Senior Interest Holder (whether in connection with Bankruptcy Proceedings or otherwise), these Subordination Provisions shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, as though such payment had not been made;
Exhibit B-5
(i) Each of the Senior Interest Holders may, from time to time, at its sole discretion, without notice to the Holder, and without waiving any of its rights under these Subordination Provisions, take any or all of the following actions: (i) retain or obtain an interest in any property to secure any of the Senior Interests; (ii) retain or obtain the primary or secondary obligations of any other obligor or obligors with respect to any of the Senior Interests; (iii) extend or renew for one or more periods (whether or not longer than the original period), alter or exchange any of the Senior Interests, or release or compromise any obligation of any nature with respect to any of the Senior Interests; (iv) amend, supplement, amend and restate, or otherwise modify any Transaction Document; and (v) release its security interest in, or surrender, release or permit any substitution or exchange for all or any part of any rights or property securing any of the Senior Interests, or extend or renew for one or more periods (whether or not longer than the original period), or release, compromise, alter or exchange any obligations of any nature of any obligor with respect to any such rights or property;
(j) The Holder hereby waives: (i) notice of acceptance of these Subordination Provisions by any of the Senior Interest Holders; (ii) notice of the existence, creation, non-payment or non-performance of all or any of the Senior Interests; and (iii) all diligence in enforcement, collection or protection of, or realization upon, the Senior Interests, or any thereof, or any security therefor;
(k) Each of the Senior Interest Holders may, from time to time, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Transaction Documents to which such Persons are party, but without notice to the Holder, assign or transfer any or all of the Senior Interests, or any interest therein; and, notwithstanding any such assignment or transfer or any subsequent assignment or transfer thereof, such Senior Interests shall be and remain Senior Interests for the purposes of these Subordination Provisions, and every immediate and successive assignee or transferee of any of the Senior Interests or of any interest of such assignee or transferee in the Senior Interests shall be entitled to the benefits of these Subordination Provisions to the same extent as if such assignee or transferee were the assignor or transferor; and
(l) These Subordination Provisions constitute a continuing offer from the Holder to all Persons who become the holders of, or who continue to hold, Senior Interests; and these Subordination Provisions are made for the benefit of the Senior Interest Holders, and the Administrative Agent may proceed to enforce such provisions on behalf of each of such Persons.
11. General. No failure or delay on the part of the Intercompany Lender (or the Servicer on its behalf) in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power or right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right. No amendment, restatement, modification or waiver of, or consent with respect to, any provision of this Loan Agreement shall in any event be effective unless (i) the same shall be in writing and signed and delivered by the Borrower, the Intercompany Lender and the Administrative Agent and (ii) all consents required for such actions under the Transaction Documents shall have been received by the appropriate Persons.
Exhibit B-6
12. Maximum Interest. Notwithstanding anything in this Loan Agreement to the contrary, the Borrower shall never be required to pay unearned interest on any amount outstanding hereunder and shall never be required to pay interest on the outstanding principal amount of the Subordinated Loans at a rate in excess of the maximum nonusurious interest rate that may be contracted for, charged or received under applicable federal or state law (such maximum rate being herein called the Highest Lawful Rate). If the effective rate of interest which would otherwise be payable under this Loan Agreement would exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, or if the Holder shall receive any unearned interest or shall receive monies that are deemed to constitute interest which would increase the effective rate of interest payable by the Borrower under this Loan Agreement to a rate in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then (i) the amount of interest which would otherwise be payable by the Borrower under this Loan Agreement shall be reduced to the amount allowed by Law, and (ii) any unearned interest paid by the Borrower or any interest paid by the Borrower in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate shall be refunded to the Borrower. Without limitation of the foregoing, all calculations of the rate of interest contracted for, charged or received by the Holder under this Loan Agreement that are made for the purpose of determining whether such rate exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to the Intercompany Lender (such Highest Lawful Rate being herein called the Maximum Permissible Rate) shall be made, to the extent permitted by usury laws applicable to the Holder (now or hereafter enacted), by amortizing, prorating and spreading in equal parts during the actual period during which any amount has been outstanding hereunder all interest at any time contracted for, charged or received by the Holder in connection herewith. If at any time and from time to time (i) the amount of interest payable to the Holder on any date shall be computed at the Maximum Permissible Rate pursuant to the provisions of the foregoing sentence and (ii) in respect of any subsequent interest computation period the amount of interest otherwise payable to the Holder would be less than the amount of interest payable to the Holder computed at the Maximum Permissible Rate, then the amount of interest shall equal the total amount of interest which would have been payable to the Holder if the total amount of interest had been computed without giving effect to the provisions of the foregoing sentence.
13. Assignability. The Intercompany Lender may not sell, transfer or assign (by operation of law or otherwise) this Loan Agreement or any Subordinated Loan, unless the Administrative Agent shall have otherwise given its prior written consent thereto in its sole discretion.
14. [Reserved].
15. [Reserved].
16. [Reserved].
17. Execution in Counterparts. This Loan Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart hereof by facsimile or other electronic means shall be equally effective as delivery of an originally executed counterpart.
Exhibit B-7
18. Captions. Paragraph captions used in this Loan Agreement are for convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of any provision of this Loan Agreement.
19. Collateral Security. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) the Receivables and Related Rights shall not under any circumstances constitute collateral security for this Loan Agreement or any of the Borrowers obligations hereunder or under the Sale Agreement, and (ii) this Loan Agreement shall not be construed to create any security interest or other interest in any such Receivables and Related Rights in favour of the Intercompany Lender, its assigns or any other person. By accepting a Subordinated Loan, the Intercompany Lender and its assignees acknowledges and agrees that no failure to pay or other default by the Borrower hereunder shall (x) derogate from the Borrowers interests in any Receivables or Related Rights or (y) invalidate, in whole or in part, any sale, assignment, transfer or declaration of trust under the Sale Agreement.
20. Third Party Rights. Other than each Senior Interest Holder, a person who is not a Party has no right under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce or to enjoy the benefit of any term of this Agreement.
21. Taxes. (a) All sums payable under this Loan Agreement shall be paid free and clear of all deductions or withholdings for or on account of Tax (a Tax Deduction), save only as may be required by applicable law. If a Tax Deduction is required to be made by applicable law, that Tax Deduction and any payment required to be made to the relevant Tax Authority in connection with that Tax Deduction shall be made within the time allowed and in the minimum amount required by applicable law. No additional payment shall be required to be made in respect of any Tax Deduction.
(b) If (i) the Borrower is required by any applicable law to make a Tax Deduction; (ii) the Borrower does not make such Tax Deduction; and (iii) a liability resulting from such failure is assessed directly against the Borrower, then the Intercompany Lender and Holder agree to indemnify and hold harmless and promptly reimburse the Borrower for the amount of such liability (including interest and penalties).
(c) The parties agree to take reasonable steps to reduce or eliminate a Tax Deduction under applicable law, including, without limitation, cooperating to complete any procedural formalities required to obtain the benefit of any double taxation agreement which makes provision for a full or partial exemption from tax imposed on interest.
22. Governing Law. (a) This Loan Agreement, together with any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with it, is governed by the laws of England and Wales. (b) (i) The courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Loan Agreement (including any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with this Loan Agreement) (a Dispute), (ii) the Parties agree that the courts of England and Wales are the most appropriate and convenient courts to settle Disputes and accordingly no party to this Loan Agreement will argue to the contrary.
