The agreements in this Section 2.4(a) shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all other amounts payable hereunder. This Section 2.4(a) shall not apply to any income or capital gain of the Purchaser in respect of any Contract.

 

(b)          Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any and all transfer, sales, use, registration, value-added, excise, stock, stamp, documentary, filing, recording and other similar Taxes, filing fees and similar charges imposed as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Basic Documents (“Transfer Taxes”) shall be paid by and shall be the responsibility of Purchaser. To the extent any such Transfer Taxes are paid or payable by the Seller, Purchaser shall promptly reimburse the Seller for such Transfer Taxes, upon Purchaser’s receipt of reasonably satisfactory evidence of the amount of such Transfer Taxes. The Parties will reasonably cooperate in the preparation and filing of any Tax returns or other documentation in connection with any Transfer Taxes subject to this Section 2.4(b), including joining in the execution of any such Tax returns and other documentation to the extent required by Applicable Law.

 

Section 2.5   Re-Liening Trigger Events.

In addition, at the sole expense of the Purchaser, upon the request of the Purchaser, the Seller shall, and the Seller shall direct and cause the Title Lien Holder to take all steps necessary to cause the Certificate of Title or other evidence of ownership of the related Financed Vehicles identified by the Purchaser to be revised to name the Purchaser or its designee (such designee to be notified by the Purchaser to the Seller and the Servicer in writing from time to time) as lienholder. The Seller shall cause the Title Lien Holder to irrevocably appoint or cause each relevant subservicer to irrevocably appoint, the Purchaser as its attorney-in-fact, such appointment being coupled with an interest, to take any and all steps required to be performed pursuant to this Section 2.5, including execution of Certificates of Title or any other documents in the name of the Seller or such Title Lien Holder and, in connection with the appointment of any successor Servicer, to execute a power of attorney with respect to such successor Servicer promptly after its appointment as such, naming such successor Servicer as its attorney-in-fact for the same purposes.

The Purchaser shall, by notice to the Seller, by no later than twenty (20) Business Days after the date of the Seller’s Incremental Commitment Request, either agree to increase the Annual Commitment Amount and the Applicable Purchase Target or decline to increase the Annual Commitment Amount and the Applicable Purchase Target.

Any portions of the requested increase in the Annual Commitment Amount declined (or deemed declined) may be offered by the Seller to any Person selected by the Seller in its sole discretion.

 

ARTICLE III

 

TRUE SALE

 

Section 3.1 No Recourse. It is understood that each sale of Purchased Property by the Seller to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement shall be without recourse (except as set forth herein and in the other Basic Documents, including Section 8.1 hereof ), and the Seller does not guarantee collection of any Receivable. Neither the Purchaser nor the Seller will account for or treat (whether in its financial statements or otherwise) the transfers by the Seller to the Purchaser in any manner other than as the sale, or absolute assignment, of the Contracts and related Rights.

 

Section 3.2 Intent of the Parties. This Agreement and the related Assignment is intended to effect a sale of each Purchased Contract by the Seller to the Purchaser, and the parties intend to treat each such transaction as a sale for all purposes, including for federal (and applicable state and local) tax purposes. None of the Seller, the Purchaser or any of their Affiliates, shall take any position in any Tax return or in any Tax examination, audit, claim or similar proceeding that is inconsistent with the foregoing intent unless required to do so by a final determination as defined in Section 1313 of the Code (or any similar provision of applicable state or local law). It is the intention of the Seller that each sale, transfer, assignment and other conveyance of each Purchased Contract contemplated by this Agreement and the related Assignment constitutes an independent sale of the related Purchased Property from the Seller to the Purchaser and that the beneficial interest in and title to each such Purchased Contract shall not be part of the Seller’s estate in the event of the filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against the Seller under any bankruptcy law. Although the Parties intend that each sale, transfer, assignment and other conveyance contemplated by this Agreement and the related Assignment to be an independent sale, in the event any such transfer and assignment is deemed to be other than a sale, the Parties intend and agree (i) that all filings described in this Agreement shall give the Purchaser a first priority perfected security interest (subject to Permitted Liens) in, to and under the Purchased Contract and the related Purchased Property and all proceeds of any of the foregoing, in each case with respect to such transfer and assignment; (ii) this Agreement, together with the related Assignment, shall be deemed to be the grant of, and the Seller hereby grants to the Purchaser, a security interest from the Seller to the Purchaser in such Contracts and the related Purchased Property in order to secure its obligations hereunder with respect to such transfer and assignment; (iii) this Agreement shall be a security agreement under applicable law for the purpose of each such transfer and assignment; and (iv) the Purchaser shall have all of the rights, powers and privileges of a secured party under the UCC with respect to each such transfer and assignment and the Purchased Property related thereto.

Section 7.5      Inspection.

 

(a)            During the term of this Agreement, the Purchaser and its agents may inspect the Seller’s books and records (including electronic records) related to the Contracts, including internal monitoring and compliance reports and such other reasonable and readily available information relating to the Contracts that the Purchaser reasonably requests; provided, however, that the Seller shall not be obligated pursuant to this Section 7.5 to provide access to any information that it reasonably and in good faith considers to be a trade secret or confidential information or the disclosure of which would adversely affect the attorney client privilege between the Seller and its counsel or which is prohibited by a Governmental Authority or by Applicable Law from being disclosed. Each such inspection (w) shall occur during regular business hours upon thirty (30) days notice if commercially reasonable to do so and in no event shall such notice be less than ten (10) Business Days, (x) if commercially reasonable, shall occur at the same time as any inspection pursuant to the Servicing Agreement, (y) shall require no more than a two (2) Business Days commitment of the Seller and its employees and (z) shall not unreasonably interfere with Seller’s business operations; provided, however, that the foregoing limitations set forth in clauses (w) through (z) shall not apply in the event that an inspection is required to address an event that would reasonably be expected to give rise to a Purchaser Termination Option except that the prior notice of one (1) Business Day by the Purchaser shall be required. The Purchaser and its representatives shall comply with all of the confidentiality and security requirements of this Agreement. The Purchaser shall not request an inspection more than one (1) time each calendar year, commencing with the calendar year ending on December 31, 2026; provided, however, that such limitation shall not apply in the event that the inspection is required to address an event that would reasonably be expected to give rise to a Purchaser Termination Option. All costs and expenses of any inspection shall be solely paid by the Purchaser; provided, however, that such limitation shall not apply in the event that an inspection is required to address an event that would give rise to a Purchaser Termination Option, in which event all costs and expenses of such inspection shall be the responsibility of the Seller.

(b)          During the term of this Agreement, the Purchaser may, or may hire an independent third party auditor (the “Auditor”) reasonably acceptable to the Seller to, review and audit (the “Audit”) the Seller’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement, with such Audit occurring in connection with an inspection under Section 7.5(a); provided, however, that any Audit requested in connection with a Purchaser Termination Option (a “Specified Audit”) shall occur within five (5) days prior written notice and require no more than five (5) Business Days commitment of the Seller or such longer period of time as may reasonably be required by the Auditor. The Auditor shall comply with confidentiality and security requirements of this Agreement and of the party subject to the Audit. With respect to a Specified Audit, all costs and expenses of such Audit and the related Auditors shall be paid by the Seller. Other than with respect to a Specified Audit, all costs and expenses of any Audit and Auditor shall be solely paid by the Purchaser.

 

(c)          Upon the notice by Purchaser of its intent to conduct an inspection or an Audit, the Seller shall promptly notify any other purchaser of Contracts and shall permit such other purchaser the opportunity to participate in the inspection or Audit to be conducted by the Purchaser. To the extent any other purchaser notifies the Seller of its intent to conduct an inspection or an Audit under the related purchase agreement, the Seller shall provide the Purchaser with advance written notice of the conduct of such inspection or Audit as promptly as practicable and shall permit the Purchaser to participate in such inspection or Audit. In the event any joint inspection is conducted, each of the Seller and the Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that any cost of conducting such an inspection or an Audit that is required to be paid by the Purchaser pursuant to Section 7.5 shall be shared among the Purchaser and the other purchasers participating in such joint inspection.

 

(d)          The Seller understands and acknowledges that the Purchaser or certain of the Purchaser’s Affiliates are subject to examination by Regulatory Authorities with authority over the Purchaser or the Purchaser’s Affiliates. The Seller agrees to reasonably cooperate with any legitimate examination or inquiry by any such Regulatory Authority having proper regulatory authority over the Purchaser or the Purchaser’s Affiliates, at the Purchaser’s sole cost and expense; provided, that, (i) the Seller shall not be required to provide information or make available its or its Affiliates personnel in connection with any audit or examination pursuant to this Section 7.5(d) more than one (1) time each calendar year, commencing with the calendar year ending on December 31, 2026, (ii) Purchaser and its Affiliates shall attempt to require any such audits or examinations to be conducted remotely, and each on-site audit or examination (if required) shall occur during regular business hours upon at least thirty (30) days prior written notice, shall require no more than a two (2) Business Day commitment of the Seller and its employees and shall not unreasonably interfere with Seller’s or its Affiliates’ business operations, and (iii) neither the Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall be required to share any information that any of them would be prohibited by Applicable Law from sharing or constitute a trade secret or relate to confidential business practices.

Section 7.6 Compliance with Laws, Etc. The Seller shall comply with all Applicable Laws, except for any such noncompliance that would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Purchaser or any of the Purchased Property or any of the transactions contemplated by the Basic Documents.

 

Section 7.7 Additional Covenants. From the date hereof until the later of the date upon which this Agreement is terminated in accordance with the terms hereof and the date on which the Receivables constituting the Purchased Property have been paid in full, the Seller shall:

 

(a)          Preservation of Existence; License. It will preserve and maintain its existence, rights, franchises and privileges in its State of formation, and qualify and remain qualified in good standing in each jurisdiction where the failure to preserve and maintain such existence, rights, franchises, privileges and qualification has had, or would reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect and (without suspension or limitation) will not terminate or let lapse any licenses, consents or approval currently held by it necessary to ensure its performance of any duty contemplated by this Agreement and the other Basic Document to which it is a party.

 

(b)          Collection Policy. It will (and will cause the Servicer to), to the extent applicable, comply with the Collection Policy in all material respects with respect to each Purchased Contract.

 

(c)          Delivery of Contract Files. To the extent that any portion of the Contract Files related to any Purchased Property is in the possession of the Seller immediately prior to any related Purchase Date, the Seller shall deliver such portion of the Contract Files to the Servicer (if other than the Seller) on or prior to each Purchase Date.

 

(d)          Origination Stratification. On or prior to each Reporting Date, it will provide to the Purchaser the stratification tables in a form mutually agreed between the Seller and the Purchaser with respect to the Contracts acquired by the Seller from the Originator during the immediately preceding month.

 

(e)          Evidence of Release. Within thirty (30) days (or such later date as agreed to by the Purchaser in its reasonable discretion) of the Signing Date, it will provide to the Purchaser evidence that the Lien described in clause (d) of the Permitted Lien definition has been released.

 

Section 7.8 Negative Covenants. From the date hereof until the later of the date upon which this Agreement is terminated in accordance with the terms hereof and the date on which the Receivables constituting the Purchased Property have been paid in full, the Seller will not:

 

(a)          Credit Policy. Until the termination of this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof, any material changes to the Credit Policy that are reasonably expected to materially and adversely affect the Purchaser’s interests with respect to the Purchased Contracts shall be subject to the Purchaser’s consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, that the Purchaser’s consent shall not be required (x) in the event such amendments or modifications are necessary to comply with Applicable Laws, (y) to the extent such amendments or modifications do not affect any Purchased Contracts or (z) to implement any change to the Credit Policy that is not reasonably expected to materially and adversely affect the Purchaser’s interests with respect to the Purchased Contracts. The Seller shall provide the Purchaser with written notice of any amendment or modification which does not require the Purchaser’s consent within ten (10) calendar days of the implementation of such amendment or modification, and the Purchaser shall have one (1) Business Day from the date of receipt to review the proposed changes and notify the Seller of any concerns. To the extent, the Purchaser’s consent is required to implement a proposed change to the Credit Policy, the Purchaser shall have ten (10) Business Days from the date of receipt to review and approve the proposed changes, and such updated policy shall be treated as automatically accepted unless the Purchaser informs the Seller in writing (which, for the avoidance of doubt, may be by e-mail) prior to the expiration of such review period that the Credit Policy is being rejected and the reasons for such rejection. Following a rejection, no existing or future Contracts that do not comply with the Credit Policy approved by the Purchaser (without giving effect to such rejected change) shall be included as Eligible Contracts.

 

19

 

 

(b)          Non-Solicitation. The Seller agrees that it will not, directly or indirectly, solicit or permit any of its Affiliates to solicit any Obligor (in writing or otherwise) to refinance any Purchased Contract; provided, however, that the Seller may engage in a general solicitation directed at the Obligors of the Purchased Contracts, so long as such general solicitation is not targeted exclusively or predominantly to the Obligors under the Purchased Contracts to refinance such Purchased Contracts.

 

(c)          Non-Petition. Prior to the date which is one year and one day after the date on which any financing facility of the Purchaser related to the Contracts have been paid in full, the Seller covenants and agrees that it shall not commence or join with any other Person in commencing any proceeding against the Purchaser under any bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation or insolvency law or statute now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction.

 

ARTICLE VIII

 

REPURCHASE; INDEMNIFICATION; MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

 

Section 8.1      Repurchase of Contracts by the Seller.

 

Upon the discovery of any breach of any representation or warranty as set forth in Section 5.2(s) of this Agreement (such event, a “Repurchase Event”), the Party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice of the breach to the other Party and shall identify all Contracts that the Party preparing such notice knows are so ineligible or in breach as of such date and the reason for such ineligibility or breach. Unless a Repurchase Event has been cured in all material respects by the Purchase Date immediately following the Monthly Period during which such Repurchase Event is discovered, or if no Purchase Date occurs in the month following such Monthly Period, by the 15th day (or if such day is not a Business Day, the following Business Day) of such following month (the “Repurchase Period”), the Seller shall repurchase not later than the last day of such Repurchase Period, any Contract subject to a Repurchase Event for the Repurchase Price. In consideration of the repurchase of a Repurchased Contract, the Seller shall either (x) remit, or cause to be remitted the Repurchase Price to the Collection Account or to such other account (via wire transfer of immediately available funds) as the Purchaser may designate or (y) net the Repurchase Price from the Purchase Price payable to the Purchaser on the related Purchase Date. The obligation of the Seller to repurchase any Contract as to which a Repurchase Event has occurred and is continuing, shall, if such obligation is fulfilled, constitute the sole remedy (except as provided in, and without limitation of, Section 8.3 of this Agreement) against the Seller for such breach available to the Purchaser.

 

20

 

 

Section 8.2 Assignment of Repurchased Contracts. With respect to all Contracts repurchased pursuant to this Agreement, the Purchaser shall assign to the Seller, without recourse, representation or warranty to the Seller, all the Purchaser’s right, title and interest in and to such Contracts, and all security and documents relating thereto.

 

Section 8.3 Indemnity. (a) Each Party, as Indemnitor, shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the other Party and such other Party’s Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Losses arising out of or in connection with (i) any breach of any covenant or agreement or the incorrectness or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of such Party contained in this Agreement, or (ii) the fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Party; provided, that the foregoing indemnity, defense and reimbursement obligations shall not, as to any Indemnified Party, apply to Losses to the extent they arise from the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of such Indemnified Party. In no event shall any Party be liable to the other Parties or to any other entity for any lost profits, costs of cover or other special, punitive, consequential, incidental or indirect damages, however caused, on any theory of liability. The foregoing indemnification obligations shall apply to third party claims.

 

(b)            Notice of Claims. Any Indemnified Party seeking indemnification hereunder shall promptly notify Indemnitor with a Claim Notice if the Indemnified Party determines the existence of any claim or the commencement by any third party of any legal or regulatory proceeding, arbitration or action, whether or not the same shall have been asserted or initiated, in any case with respect to which Indemnitor is or may be obligated to provide indemnification, specifying in reasonable detail the nature of the Losses, and, if known, the amount, or an estimate of the amount, of the Losses, provided that failure to promptly give such notice shall only limit the liability of Indemnitor to the extent of the actual and material prejudice, if any, suffered by Indemnitor as a result of such failure. The Indemnified Party shall provide to Indemnitor as promptly as practicable thereafter information and documentation reasonably requested by Indemnitor to defend against the claim asserted.

 

(c)            Assumption of Defense. The Indemnitor shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of a Claim Notice with respect to any third party claim to notify the Indemnified Party of the Indemnitor’s election to assume the defense of the Indemnifiable Claim and, through counsel of its own choosing (as approved by the Indemnified Party in its reasonable discretion), and at its own expense, to commence the settlement or defense thereof and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnitor in connection therewith if such cooperation is so requested and the request is reasonable; provided, that Indemnitor shall hold the Indemnified Party harmless from all its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses, including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Indemnified Party’s cooperation. If the Indemnitor timely assumes responsibility for the settlement or defense of any such claim, (i) the Indemnitor shall permit the Indemnified Party to participate at its expense in such settlement or defense through counsel chosen by the Indemnified Party (subject to the consent of the Indemnitor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided, that in the event that both the Indemnitor and the Indemnified Party are defendants in the proceeding and the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably determined and notified the Indemnitor that representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them, then the fees and expenses of one such counsel for all Indemnified Parties in the aggregate shall be borne by the Indemnitor; and (ii) the Indemnitor shall not settle any Indemnifiable Claim without the Indemnified Party’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed for any reason if the settlement involves only the payment of money, and which consent may be withheld for any reason if the settlement (x) involves more than the payment of money, including any admission of guilt or culpability by the Indemnified Party, or (y) does not include an unconditional release by the claimant or plaintiff (or Governmental Authority), as the case may be, of the Indemnified Party. So long as the Indemnitor is reasonably contesting any such Indemnifiable Claim in good faith, the Indemnified Party shall not pay or settle such claim without the Indemnitor’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

 

21

 

 

(d)            Assignments. Without otherwise limiting the Purchaser’s rights to indemnification hereunder, (i) subject to the accuracy of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 5.2(s) with respect to each Contract and the Seller’s repurchase obligations set forth in Section 8.1, (x) the Purchaser hereby acknowledges that it bears the risk of non- payment by the Obligors on the Contracts, and (y) indemnification by the Seller pursuant to this Section 8.3 shall not be available for any such non-payment or related losses, (ii) to the extent that any rights of the Purchaser hereunder are assigned or otherwise transferred to any transferee in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, any such transferee shall not be permitted to claim indemnification pursuant to this Section 8.3 unless the related transfer was made to a permitted transferee in accordance with Section 8.18, in a permitted Reconstitution in accordance with Sections 8.23 and 8.24 herein or in a Harley-Davidson Securitization Transaction in accordance with Section 8.25, in each case, such transferee shall be bound by the limits on indemnification contained in this Section 8.3 as if such transferee were the Purchaser, and such transferee may only claim indemnity in conjunction with, or in place of, the Purchaser; and (iii) multiple recoveries for any single Loss shall not be permitted.

 

(e)     Survival. This Section 8.3 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

 

Section 8.4 Publicity. All media releases, public announcements and public disclosures by any Party or its respective employees or agents, relating to this Agreement or the other Basic Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the name of the Purchaser or the Seller, including promotional or marketing material, shall be coordinated with and consented to by the other Party in writing prior to the release thereof, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed so long as the Parties have mutually agreed upon the form and content of such release, announcement or disclosure; provided, however, that any announcement intended solely for internal distribution by the disclosing Party to its directors, employees, officers and agents or any disclosure required by Applicable Laws or by accounting requirements, shall not require such coordination or consent; provided, further, however, that prior to the filing by the Seller or any of its Affiliates of this Agreement or any other Basic Document with the Commission, the Seller shall provide the Purchaser with a reasonable, advance opportunity to mutually agree upon the information to be redacted therefrom in compliance with the Applicable Laws.

 

Section 8.5 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended from time to time by a written amendment duly executed and delivered by the Seller and the Purchaser.

 

Section 8.6 Waivers. No failure or delay on the part of the Purchaser in exercising any power, right or remedy under this Agreement or any Assignment shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power, right or remedy.

Section 8.18 Assignment. Neither Party may assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the express prior written consent of the other Party (which consent by Seller shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed unless such assignee is a competitor of the Seller); and any assignment in violation of this Section 8.18 shall be null and void ab initio; provided, that this Section 8.18 shall not restrict the Purchaser from assigning or transferring any Purchased Property and the rights under this Agreement with respect to any Purchased Property (a) upon prior written notice to the Seller, to an Affiliate of the Purchaser (including one or more trusts that are directly or indirectly beneficially owned by the Purchaser, and its respective trustee) or (b) to any Person in connection with a Reconstitution consented to by the Seller or a Harley-Davidson Securitization Transaction.

After the first such assignment, if the Purchaser further assigns this Agreement to an additional trust (and its respective trustee) with respect to other Purchased Property, then Seller and such trust (and its respective trustee) shall enter into an additional servicing agreement in form and substance consistent with the Servicing Agreement, to govern all Purchased Property purchased by such additional trust. The Purchaser shall be responsible for the preparation of such additional servicing agreement.

 

Section 8.19 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is for the sole benefit of the Seller and the Purchaser and their permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, shall give or be construed to give to any Person, other than the Parties and such permitted assigns, any legal or equitable rights hereunder.

 

Section 8.20 Special Acknowledgement of Purchaser. The Purchaser hereby acknowledges that it is a sophisticated purchaser capable of analyzing the risk of purchasing the Contracts and that subsequent to the consummation of the transaction contemplated hereby, the Purchaser shall bear all of the risks of ownership of the Contracts, including the risks of defaults and credit losses with respect thereto, except as otherwise set forth in any of the Basic Documents.

 

Section 8.21 Confidentiality. (a) Each Party agrees that (i) such Party shall protect all Confidential Information by using the same degree of care, but no less than a reasonable degree of care, to prevent the unauthorized use, dissemination, disclosure or publication of the Confidential Information as such Party uses to protect its own Confidential Information of a like nature and (ii) disclosure of such Confidential Information of a Party (the “Disclosing Party”) by another Party (the “Restricted Party”) shall be restricted. Each Party agrees that Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party shall be used by the Restricted Party solely in the performance of its obligations and exercise of its rights pursuant to this Agreement. Except as required by Applicable Laws or legal process, the Restricted Party shall not disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to third parties; provided, however, that the Restricted Party may disclose Confidential Information of a Disclosing Party (A) to the Restricted Party’s Affiliates, and the Restricted Party’s and such Affiliates’ respective agents, employees, directors, representatives, attorneys, advisors, or subcontractors for the sole purpose of fulfilling the Restricted Party’s obligations under this Agreement (as long as the Restricted Party exercises commercially reasonable efforts to prohibit any further disclosure by its Affiliates, agents, directors, representatives or subcontractors), provided, that in all events, the Restricted Party shall be responsible for any breach of the confidentiality obligations hereunder by any of its Affiliates, agents, directors, representatives or subcontractors, (B) to the Restricted Party’s auditors, accountants and other professional advisors, or to a Governmental Authority, (C) to the Restricted Party’s (or its Affiliates’) existing or potential investors and financing sources provided that such potential investor or financing source is subject to a confidentiality agreement consistent with and no less restrictive than this Section 8.21, or (D) to any other third party as mutually agreed by the Parties provided that such third party is subject to a confidentiality agreement consistent with and no less restrictive than this Section 8.21.

 

25

 

 

(b)            Upon written request or upon the termination of this Agreement, each Restricted Party shall within thirty (30) days destroy (and certify by an executive officer such destruction) or return to the Disclosing Party all Confidential Information in its possession that is in written form, including by way of example, reports, plans and manuals; provided, however, that a Restricted Party may maintain in its possession all such Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party required to be maintained under Applicable Laws relating to the retention of records for the period of time required thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties shall continue to be bound by their obligations of confidentiality hereunder.

 

(c)            In the event that a Restricted Party is requested or required (by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process) to disclose any Confidential Information of the other Party, the Restricted Party will, to the extent legal and practicable, provide the Disclosing Party with prompt notice of such requests so that the Disclosing Party may seek an appropriate protective order or other appropriate remedy or waive the Restricted Party’s compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. In the event that the Disclosing Party does not seek such a protective order or other remedy, or such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, or the Disclosing Party grants a waiver hereunder, the Restricted Party may furnish that portion (and only that portion) of the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party which the Restricted Party is legally compelled to disclose and will exercise such efforts to obtain reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party so furnished as the Restricted Party would exercise in assuring the confidentiality of any of its own Confidential Information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller or the Purchaser shall be permitted to disclose any Confidential Information to a Regulatory Authority without consent by, and, if prohibited by such Regulatory Authority, notice to, the other Party.

 

Section 8.22 Obligor Information; Security Requirements. (a) The Seller acknowledges and agrees that the Purchaser shall be the owner of all Purchased Contract data and all information related to each Contract purchased hereunder and the related Obligors, including credit file information, servicing and collection history, and other books and records.
