COMMITMENTS TO ENTER INTO TRANSACTIONS

 

Section 2.1

Commitment to Enter into Transactions.

(a)          Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Repurchase Agreement and provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred under the Repurchase Agreement, the Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers agrees to enter into Transactions with the Sellers up to the Available Purchase Price. The Buyers’ respective Commitments are set forth on Schedule 1 hereto. The fractions to be applied to determine the respective Purchase Price Shares of the Buyers are the fractions of the Purchase Price for each Transaction set forth on Schedule 2. Each Buyer shall be obligated to fund only that Buyers’ own Purchase Price Share(s) of any Transaction requested, and no Buyer shall be obligated to the Sellers, Administrative Agent or any other Buyer to fund a (i) greater share of any Transaction or (ii) a share in excess of such Buyer’s Available Commitment Amount.

(b)          No Buyer shall be excused from funding its applicable Purchase Price Share(s) of any Transaction merely because any other Buyer has failed or refused to fund its relevant Purchase Price Share(s) of that or any other Transaction. If any Buyer fails to fund its Purchase Price Share(s) of any Transaction (a “Declining Buyer”), (i) the Administrative Agent as a Buyer (in its sole and absolute discretion) may choose to fund the Purchase Price Share(s) of the Declining Buyer, or (ii) the Administrative Agent as a Buyer and/or one or more of the other Buyers who are willing to do so shall have the right (but no obligation) to fund the Declining Buyer’s Purchase Price Share(s) in the proportion that the Commitment of each bears to the sum of the Commitments of all Buyers that have funded (or are funding) their own Purchase Price Shares of that Transaction.

(c)          Regardless of whether the other Buyers fund the Purchase Price Share(s) of the Declining Buyer, the respective ownership interests of the Buyers in the Transaction shall be adjusted Pro Rata as described in the definition thereof.

(d)          Should the Administrative Agent as a Buyer fund the Declining Buyer’s Purchase Price Share of any Transaction, then the Declining Buyer shall have the obligation to the Administrative Agent, the Sellers and the other Buyers under this Agreement to deliver such amount to the Administrative Agent in collected funds on the next Business Day.

(e)          Notwithstanding that multiple Buyers are purchasing Purchase Price Shares of the Transactions entered into under the Repurchase Agreement, all Transactions shall be deemed a single Transaction and all of the Repurchase Assets shall be security for all of the Obligations thereunder.

Section 2.2       Funding of Transaction. Upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt of a Transaction Request, the Administrative Agent will provide notice (either electronic or via fax) to each Buyer by 2:00 p.m. (Central time) of such Buyer’s Purchase Price Share of the requested Transactions. Each Buyer shall wire their Purchase Price Share to the Administrative Agent via a federal funds wire transfer to the following account within two hours of notice thereof or 4:00 p.m. (Central time) whichever is earlier:

Section 2.4

Request for Increase in the Maximum Purchase Price.

(a)          If the Sellers shall request an increase in the Maximum Purchase Price in accordance with Section 3(e) of the Repurchase Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain increased Commitments from existing Buyers, new Commitments from prospective new Buyers or such combination thereof as the Administrative Agent shall elect, to achieve such requested increase.

(b)          If the increase in the Maximum Purchase Price is achieved, then (i) the Purchase Price Share of each Buyer (if any) that does not proportionately increase its Commitment shall automatically be reduced and adjusted proportionately and (ii) Schedules 1 and 2 shall be updated and the updates executed and delivered by the Administrative Agent to the Sellers and each of the Buyers and each shall automatically supersede and replace the then-existing corresponding schedule for all purposes.

Section 3.2        Swing Line Transactions. The Sellers shall have the right to request that JPMorgan enter into Swing Line Transactions:

(d)          provided that the Transaction Request for the Swing Line Transaction is received by JPMorgan after 1:00 p.m. (Central time) and by no later than 4:00 p.m. (Central time) on the Business Day such Swing Line Transaction is to be entered into; and

(e)          provided that neither the Sellers nor JPMorgan is aware of any reason why the requested Swing Line Transaction cannot or will not be fully funded by the Buyers according to their respective Purchase Price Shares on the Swing Line Repurchase Date.

 

Section 3.3

Requests for Swing Line Transactions.

(a)          If a Transaction Request for a Swing Line Transaction is received before 4:00 p.m. (Central time) on a Business Day and fully qualifies in all respects for an ordinary Transaction under this Agreement and the Repurchase Agreement, it shall be treated as a Transaction other than a Swing Line Transaction by the Buyers.

(b)          If (i) a Transaction Request is received after 1:00 p.m. (Central time) and before 4:00 p.m. (Central time) and (ii) the requirements of Section 3.2 above are satisfied, JPMorgan shall enter into the Transaction as a Swing Line Transaction on the same Business Day of the Transaction Request.

(c)          Each Swing Line Transaction shall be repurchased on its Swing Line Repurchase Date by (i) the Administrative Agent’s paying over to JPMorgan, out of the Payment Account, and JPMorgan’s applying against such Swing Line Transaction, an amount equal to the Purchase Price of the Transaction funded by all of the Buyers in their Purchase Price Shares on that day against the same Transaction Request that was initially funded as a Swing Line Transaction or (ii) the Buyer for whose behalf the Administrative Agent entered into such Swing Line Transaction by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the Purchase Price of such Swing Line Transaction on that day against the same Transaction Request that was initially funded as a Swing Line Transaction.

(d)          The Buyer or other Buyers, as applicable, shall be unconditionally and irrevocably obligated subject to the provisions of this Agreement and the other Repurchase Documents to timely purchase their respective Purchase Price Shares of the Swing Line Transaction in an amount equal to (i) in the instance of multiple Buyers, the difference of the Swing Line Purchase Price minus JPMorgan’s Purchase Price Share of such Swing Line Transaction or (ii) in the instance where the Administrative Agent entered into such Swing Line Transaction on behalf of one Buyer, the Purchase Price of such Swing Line Transaction and, in both instances, at such time all Swing Line Transactions will be converted to ordinary Transactions by the Administrative Agent. In addition to the foregoing, if at the time such Swing Line Transaction was funded, JPMorgan reasonably believed that no Default or Event of Default had occurred and was then continuing, the Buyer or other Buyers, as applicable, shall remain unconditionally and irrevocably obligated (subject to the provisions of this Agreement and the other Repurchase Documents) to timely fund their respective Purchase Price Shares of the Swing Line Transaction, irrespective of whether in the meantime any Default or Event of Default has occurred or been discovered, and irrespective of whether in the meantime some or all of the

Buyers’ Commitments have lapsed, expired or been canceled, rescinded or terminated with or without cause, or have been waived, released or excused for any reason whatsoever.

Such distributions from the Administrative Agent to each Buyer shall be made by initiating a federal wire transfer by 3:00 p.m. (Central time) on the Business Day when such funds are received in immediately available funds directly to the Buyers or to such account at another financial institution as is designated from time to time by the Buyers in writing and shall be made on the same Business Day received by the Administrative Agent.
