ARTICLE I
AMOUNTS AND TERMS

          Section 1.1 Purchase of Receivables.

          (a)  Pursuant to the Original Receivables Sale Agreement, in consideration for the Purchase Price and upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, the Original Originators sold, assigned, transferred, set-over and otherwise conveyed to Buyer, without recourse (except to the extent expressly provided therein), all of their respective right, title and interest in and to all Receivables existing as of the close of business on the Business Day immediately prior to the closing date of the Original Receivables Sale Agreement and all Receivables thereafter arising, together, in each case, with all Related Security relating thereto and all Collections thereof. Each Originator (as an Original Originator and as successor to other Original Originators) hereby reaffirms such purchases and sales, and in consideration for the Purchase Price and upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, each Originator does hereby sell, assign, transfer, set-over and otherwise convey to Buyer, without recourse (except to the extent expressly provided herein) and Buyer does hereby purchase from each Originator, all of such Originator’s right, title and interest in and to all Receivables originated by such Originator existing as of the close of business on the Business Day immediately prior to the date hereof and thereafter arising through and including the Amortization Date, together with all Related Security relating thereto and all Collections thereof; provided, that, Buyer shall be obligated to pay the Purchase Price therefor in accordance with Section 1.2. In connection with the payment of the Purchase Price for any Receivables purchased hereunder, Buyer may request that each Originator deliver, and each Originator shall deliver, such approvals, opinions, information, reports or documents as Buyer may reasonably request.

          (b)  It is the intention of the parties hereto that the Purchase of Receivables made hereunder shall constitute a “sale of accounts” (as such term is used in Article 9 of the UCC), which sale is absolute and irrevocable and provides Buyer with the full benefits of ownership of the Receivables. Except for the Purchase Price Credits owed to such Originator pursuant to Section 1.3, the sale of Receivables hereunder is made without recourse to such Originator; provided, however, that (i) each Originator shall be liable to Buyer for all representations, warranties and covenants made by such Originator pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Documents to which such Originator is a party, and (ii) such sale does not constitute and is not intended to result in an assumption by Buyer or any assignee thereof of any obligation of such Originator or any other Person arising in connection with the Receivables originated by such Originator, the related Contracts and/or other Related Security or any other obligations of such Originator. In view of the intention of the parties hereto that the Purchase of Receivables made hereunder shall constitute a sale of such Receivables rather than loans secured thereby, each Originator agrees that it will, on or prior to the date hereof and in accordance with Section

2


 

4.1(e)(ii), mark its master data processing records relating to the Receivables originated by it with a legend acceptable to Buyer and to the Agent (as Buyer’s assignee), evidencing that Buyer has purchased such Receivables as provided in this Agreement and to note in its financial statements that its Receivables have been sold to Buyer. Upon the request of Buyer or the Agent (as Buyer’s assignee), each Originator will execute and file such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto or assignments thereof, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or appropriate to perfect and maintain the perfection of Buyer’s ownership interest in the Receivables and the Related Security and Collections with respect thereto, or as Buyer or the Agent (as Buyer’s assignee) may reasonably request.

          Section 1.2 Payment for the Purchase.

          (a) The Purchase Price for each Receivable coming into existence on or after the Restatement Date shall be due and owing in full by Buyer to the Originator of such Receivable or its designee on the date each such Receivable comes into existence (except that Buyer may, with respect to any such Purchase Price, offset against such Purchase Price any amounts owed by such Originator to Buyer hereunder and which have become due but remain unpaid) and shall be paid to such Originator in the manner provided in the following paragraphs (b), (c), (d) and (e).

          (b) With respect to any Receivables coming into existence on or after the Restatement Date, Buyer shall pay the Purchase Price therefor in the following manner:

       (i) first, by delivery of immediately available funds, to the extent of funds available to Buyer from its subsequent sale of an interest in the Receivables to the Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers under the Purchase Agreement or other cash on hand; and
 
       (ii) second, the balance of such Purchase Price by delivery of the proceeds of a Subordinated Loan, in an amount not to exceed the least of (A) the remaining unpaid portion of such Purchase Price and (B) the maximum Subordinated Loan that could be borrowed without rendering Buyer’s Net Worth less than the Required Capital Amount. Each Originator is hereby authorized by Buyer to endorse on the schedule attached to the Subordinated Note an appropriate notation evidencing the date and amount of each advance thereunder, as well as the date of each payment with respect thereto, provided that the failure to make such notation shall not affect any obligation of Buyer thereunder.

Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 1.2(b)(ii), each Originator irrevocably agrees to advance each Subordinated Loan requested by Buyer on or prior to the Amortization Date. The Subordinated Loans shall be evidenced by, and shall be payable in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Subordinated Note and shall be payable solely from funds which Buyer is not required under the Purchase Agreement to set aside for the benefit of, or otherwise pay over to, the Purchasers.

          (c) From and after the Amortization Date, no Originator shall be obligated to (but may, at its option) sell Receivables to Buyer unless such Originator reasonably determines

3


 

that the Purchase Price therefor will be satisfied with funds available to Buyer from sales of interests in the Receivables pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Collections, proceeds of Subordinated Loans or otherwise.

          (d) On each day prior to the Amortization Date (unless Buyer or the Agent shall otherwise direct), the Collections received in respect of Receivables theretofore transferred by the Originators to Buyer hereunder (“Applied Collections”), shall, on and as of the date of receipt thereof, be (i) deemed applied toward the Purchase Price of any Receivables of the Originators arising on such date and then being transferred to Buyer pursuant to the terms hereof, to the extent of any such Purchase Price, (ii) then, in respect of any balance remaining, deemed applied toward the Purchase Price of any other Receivables of any of the Originators arising during such Calculation Period and in respect of which the Purchase Price shall not theretofore have been paid, to the extent of any such Purchase Price, and (iii) in respect of any balance remaining, held by or for the benefit of Buyer until the earlier to occur of (A) application toward the Purchase Price for any Purchase occurring on any later date and (B) the next following Settlement Date, in which case such amount shall be remitted to Buyer.

          (e) Although the Purchase Price for each Receivable originated by an Originator shall be due and payable in full by Buyer to such Originator on the date hereof (in the case of each Receivable purchased on the date hereof) or on the date such Receivable came into existence (in the case of each subsequent purchase), and payment of such Purchase Price shall be made from Applied Collections, to the extent available, as provided in Section 1.2(d), final settlement of the Purchase Price between Buyer and such Originator shall be effected on a monthly basis on Settlement Dates with respect to all Receivables coming into existence during the same Calculation Period and based on the information contained in the Monthly Report delivered by the Servicer pursuant to Article VIII of the Purchase Agreement for the Calculation Period then most recently ended. On each Settlement Date, Buyer and each Originator shall cause a reconciliation to be made in respect of all Purchases that shall have been made during the Calculation Period then most recently ended. To the extent that the aggregate amount of Applied Collections during such Calculation Period shall have been less than the aggregate Purchase Price in respect of all Purchases made by Buyer from such Originator during such month, Buyer shall pay the balance due in respect of such aggregate Purchase Price in the manner described in Section 1.2(b). To the extent that the aggregate amount of Applied Collections with respect to such Originator during such Calculation Period shall have been greater than the aggregate Purchase Price in respect of all Purchases made by Buyer from such Originator during such Calculation Period, such excess shall be applied to a reduction in the outstanding balance of the Subordinated Loan owing by Buyer to such Originator in an amount equal to such excess, and any remaining portion of such excess shall be retained by or paid over to Buyer. Although settlement shall be effected on Settlement Dates, increases or decreases in the amount owing under the Subordinated Loans made pursuant to Section 1.2(b) shall be deemed to have occurred and shall be effective as of the last Business Day of the Calculation Period to which such settlement relates.

          (f) At all times prior to the Amortization Date, notwithstanding any delay in the making of any payment of the Purchase Price in respect of any Purchase, all right, title and interest of each Originator in and to each Receivable originated by it shall be sold, assigned and otherwise transferred to Buyer effective immediately and automatically upon the creation of such

4


 

Receivable, without any further action of any type or kind being required on the part of any Person. The monthly settlement and reconciliation contemplated in this Section 1.2 has been devised solely for the administrative convenience of the parties hereto. Buyer and each Originator may at any time, as may agreed between themselves, elect to effect settlement and reconciliation on a more (but not less) frequent basis.

          Section 1.3 Purchase Price Credit Adjustments. If on any day:

          (a) the Outstanding Balance of a Receivable is:

       (i) reduced as a result of any defective or rejected goods or services, any discount or any adjustment or otherwise by the applicable Originator (other than cash Collections on account of such Receivable),

       (ii) reduced or canceled as a result of a setoff in respect of any claim by any Person (whether such claim arises out of the same or a related transaction or an unrelated transaction), or

          (b) any of the representations and warranties set forth in Article II were not true with respect to any Receivable at the time of its sale hereunder,

then, in such event, Buyer shall be entitled to a credit (each, a “Purchase Price Credit”) against the Purchase Price otherwise payable to the applicable Originator hereunder equal to (A) in the case of any reduction, discount or adjustment pursuant to Section 1.3(a)(i) or any reduction (but not cancellation) pursuant to Section 1.3(a)(ii), the amount of such reduction, discount or adjustment, and (B) in all other circumstances set forth in Sections 1.3(a) or (b), the Outstanding Balance of such Receivable. If such Purchase Price Credit exceeds the Original Balance of the Receivables originated by the applicable Originator coming into existence on any day, then such Originator shall pay the remaining amount of such Purchase Price Credit in cash not later than the next Settlement Date, provided that if the Amortization Date has not occurred, such Originator shall be allowed to deduct the remaining amount of such Purchase Price Credit from any indebtedness owed to it under its Subordinated Note.

          Section 1.4 Payments and Computations, Etc. All amounts to be paid or deposited by Buyer hereunder shall be paid or deposited in accordance with the terms hereof on the day when due in immediately available funds to the account of each Originator designated from time to time by such Originator or as otherwise directed by such Originator. In the event that any payment owed by any Person hereunder becomes due on a day that is not a Business Day, then such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day. If any Person fails to pay any amount hereunder when due, such Person agrees to pay, on demand, the Default Fee in respect thereof until paid in full; provided, however, that such Default Fee shall not at any time exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. All computations of interest payable hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first but excluding the last day) elapsed.

          Section 1.5 Transfer of Records.

          (a) In connection with the Purchase of Receivables hereunder, each Originator hereby sells, transfers, assigns and otherwise conveys to Buyer all of such Originator’s right and title to and interest in the Records relating to all Receivables sold hereunder, without the need for any further documentation in connection with the Purchase. In connection with such transfer, each Originator hereby grants to each of Buyer, the Agent and the Servicer an irrevocable, non-exclusive license to use, without royalty or payment of any kind, all software used by such Originator to account for the Receivables, to the extent necessary to administer the Receivables, whether such software is owned by such Originator or is owned by others and used by such Originator under license agreements with respect thereto, provided that should the consent of any licensor of such software to such grant of the license described herein be required, such Originator hereby agrees that upon the request of Buyer (or the Agent as Buyer’s assignee), such Originator will use its reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of such third-party licensor. The license granted hereby shall be irrevocable, and shall terminate on the date that the Aggregate Unpaids have been repaid in full and this Agreement terminates in accordance with its terms.

          (b) Each Originator (i) shall take such action requested by Buyer and/or the Agent (as Buyer’s assignee), from time to time hereafter, that may be necessary or appropriate to ensure that Buyer and its assigns under the Purchase Agreement have an enforceable ownership interest in the Records relating to the Receivables purchased from such Originator hereunder, and (ii) shall use its reasonable efforts to ensure that Buyer, the Agent and the Servicer each has an enforceable right (whether by license or sublicense or otherwise) to use all of the computer software used to account for the Receivables and/or to recreate such Records.

          Section 1.6 Characterization. If, notwithstanding the intention of the parties expressed in Section 1.1(b), any sale by an Originator to Buyer of Receivables hereunder shall be characterized as a secured loan and not a sale or such sale shall for any reason be ineffective or unenforceable, then this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a security agreement under the UCC and other applicable law. For this purpose and without being in derogation of the parties’ intention that the sale of Receivables hereunder shall constitute a true sale thereof, each Originator hereby grants to Buyer a duly perfected security interest in all of such Originator’s right, title and interest in, to and under all Receivables now existing and hereafter arising, all Collections, Related Security and Records with respect thereto, all other rights and payments relating to the Receivables, each Lock-Box and Collection Account, all proceeds of the foregoing and all other assets in which the Buyer has acquired, may hereafter acquire and/or purports to have acquired an interest under this Agreement, to secure the prompt and complete payment of a loan deemed to have been made in an amount equal to the Purchase Price of the Receivables generated by such Originator together with all of the other obligations of such Originator hereunder, which security interest shall be prior to all other Adverse Claims thereto. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Amortization Event, Buyer and its assigns shall have, in addition to the rights and remedies which they may have under this Agreement, all other rights and remedies provided to a secured creditor after default under the UCC and other applicable law, which rights and remedies shall be cumulative.

          (u) Eligible Receivables. Each Receivable included in the Net Receivables Balance as an Eligible Receivable on the date of its purchase hereunder was an Eligible Receivable on such date.

          (v) Accounting. The manner in which such Originator accounts for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement does not jeopardize the characterization of the transactions contemplated herein as being true sales.

ARTICLE III
CONDITIONS OF PURCHASE

          Section 3.1 Conditions Precedent to Initial Purchase. The initial Purchase under this Agreement on the Restatement Date is subject to the conditions precedent that (a) Buyer shall have received on or before the date of such purchase those documents listed on Schedule A and (b) all of the conditions to Amendment No. 1 to the Purchase Agreement shall have been satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms thereof.

          Section 3.2 Conditions Precedent to Subsequent Payments. Buyer’s obligation to pay for Receivables coming into existence after the Restatement Date shall be subject to the further conditions precedent that (a) the Facility Termination Date shall not have occurred; and (b) Buyer (or its assigns) shall have received such other approvals, opinions or documents as it may reasonably request. Each Originator represents and warrants that the representations and warranties set forth in Article II are true and correct on and as of the date each Receivable came into existence as though made on and as of such date (or to the extent such representations and warranties specifically relate to an earlier date, then such representations and warranties were true, correct and complete in all material respects as of such earlier date); provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing conditions precedent, upon payment of the Purchase Price for any Receivable (whether by payment of cash, through an increase in the amounts outstanding under the Subordinated Note, by offset of amounts owed to Buyer and/or by capital contributions), title to such Receivable and the Related Security and Collections with respect thereto shall vest in Buyer, whether or not the conditions precedent to Buyer’s obligation to pay

10


 

for such Receivable were in fact satisfied. The failure of any Originator to satisfy any of the foregoing conditions precedent, however, shall give rise to a right of Buyer to rescind the related purchase and direct such Originator to pay to Buyer an amount equal to the Purchase Price payment that shall have been made with respect to any Receivables related thereto.

ARTICLE IV

          Section 4.1 Affirmative Covenants of Originators. Until the date on which this Agreement terminates in accordance with its terms, each Originator hereby covenants as set forth below:

          (e) Keeping and Marking of Records and Books.

       (i) Such Originator will maintain and implement administrative and operating procedures as such Originator shall deem appropriate in its good faith business judgment (including, without limitation, an ability to recreate records evidencing Receivables in the event of the destruction of the originals thereof), and keep and maintain all documents, books, records and other information reasonably necessary or advisable for the collection of all Receivables (including, without limitation, records adequate to permit the immediate identification of each new Receivable and all Collections of and adjustments to each existing Receivable).

       (ii) Such Originator will (A) on or prior to the date hereof, mark its master data processing records and other books and records relating to the Receivables with a legend, acceptable to Buyer (or its assigns), describing Buyer’s ownership interests in the Receivables and further describing the Purchaser Interests of the Agent (on behalf of the Purchasers) under the Purchase Agreement and (B) upon the request of Buyer (or its assigns), (x) mark each Contract with a legend describing Buyer’s ownership interests in the Receivables and further describing the Purchaser Interests of the Agent (on behalf of the Purchasers) and (y) deliver to Buyer (or its assigns) all Contracts (including, without limitation, all multiple originals of any such Contract) relating to the Receivables.

          (g) Ownership. Such Originator will take all necessary action to establish and maintain, irrevocably in Buyer, legal and equitable title to the Receivables, the Related Security and the Collections, free and clear of any Adverse Claims other than Adverse Claims in favor of Buyer (and its assigns) (including, without limitation, the filing of all financing statements or other similar instruments or documents necessary under the UCC (or any comparable law) of all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect Buyer’s interest in such Receivables, Related Security and

13


 

Collections and such other action to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the interest of Buyer as Buyer (or its assigns) may reasonably request).

          (h) Purchasers’ Reliance. Such Originator acknowledges that the Agent and the Purchasers are entering into the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement in reliance upon Buyer’s identity as a legal entity that is separate from Insight Enterprises, Inc. and any Affiliates thereof, including each of the Originators (each an “Insight Entity”). Therefore, from and after the date of execution and delivery of this Agreement, such Originator will take all reasonable steps including, without limitation, all steps that Buyer or any assignee of Buyer may from time to time reasonably request to maintain Buyer’s identity as a separate legal entity and to make it manifest to third parties that Buyer is an entity with assets and liabilities distinct from those of such Insight Entity and not just a division of an Insight Entity. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and in addition to the other covenants set forth herein, such Originator (i) will not hold itself out to third parties as liable for the debts of Buyer nor purport to own the Receivables and other assets acquired by Buyer, (ii) will take all other actions necessary on its part to ensure that Buyer is at all times in compliance with the covenants set forth in Section 7.1(i) of the Purchase Agreement and (iii) will cause all tax liabilities arising in connection with the transactions contemplated herein or otherwise to be allocated between such Originator and Buyer on an arm’s-length basis and in a manner consistent with the procedures set forth in U.S. Treasury Regulations §§1.1502-33(d) and 1.1552-1.

          (i) Collections. Except as may be required under Section 8.2(b) of the Purchase Agreement, such Originator will cause (1) all proceeds from all Lock-Boxes (other than collections with respect to Excluded Receivables, which Insight Direct will cause to be directly deposited into a separate account of Insight Direct) to be directly deposited by a Collection Bank into a Collection Account and (2) each Lock-Box and Collection Account to be subject at all times to a Collection Account Agreement that is in full force and effect. In the event any payments relating to Receivables are remitted directly to such Originator or any Affiliate of such Originator, such Originator will remit (or will cause all such payments to be remitted) directly to a Collection Bank for deposit into a Collection Account within two (2) Business Days following receipt thereof and, at all times prior to such remittance, such Originator will itself hold or, if applicable, will cause such payments to be held in trust for the exclusive benefit of Buyer and its assigns. Such Originator will transfer exclusive ownership, dominion and control of each Lock-Box and Collection Account to Buyer, and will not grant the right to take dominion and control of any Lock-Box or Collection Account at a future time or upon the occurrence of a future event to any Person, except to Buyer (or its assigns) as contemplated by this Agreement and the Purchase Agreement.

          (j) Taxes. Such Originator will file all tax returns and reports required by law to be filed by it and promptly pay all taxes and governmental charges at any time owing except for taxes being diligently contested in good faith and for which adequate reserves have been established. Such Originator will pay when due any taxes payable in connection with the Receivables, exclusive of taxes on or measured by income or gross receipts of Buyer and its assigns.

          Section 4.2 Negative Covenants of Originators. Until the date on which this Agreement terminates in accordance with its terms, each Originator hereby covenants that:

14


 

          (a) Name Change, Offices and Records. Such Originator will not change its name, identity or corporate structure (within the meaning of Section 9-507 of the UCC) or jurisdiction of organization or relocate its chief executive office or any office where Records are kept unless it shall have: (i) given Buyer (or its assigns) at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice thereof and (ii) delivered to Buyer (or its assigns) all financing statements, instruments and other documents requested by Buyer (or its assigns) in connection with such change or relocation.

          (b) Change in Payment Instructions to Obligors. Such Originator will not add or terminate any bank as a Collection Bank, or make any change in the instructions to Obligors regarding payments to be made to any Lock-Box or Collection Account, unless Buyer (or its assigns) shall have received, at least ten (10) days before the proposed effective date therefor, (i) written notice of such addition, termination or change and (ii) with respect to the addition of a Collection Bank or a Collection Account or Lock-Box, an executed Collection Account Agreement with respect to the new Collection Account or Lock-Box; provided, however, that such Originator may make changes in instructions to Obligors regarding payments if such new instructions require such Obligor to make payments to another existing Collection Account.

          (c) Modifications to Contracts and Credit and Collection Policy. Such Originator will not make any change to the Credit and Collection Policy that could adversely affect the collectibility of the Receivables or decrease the credit quality of any newly created Receivables without the Buyer’s prior written consent. Such Originator will not, and will not permit any Originator to, extend, amend or otherwise modify the terms of any Receivable or any Contract related thereto other than in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy except for such modifications such Originator shall deem appropriate in its good faith business judgment and which could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          (d) Sales, Liens. Such Originator will not sell, assign (by operation of law or otherwise) or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, or create or suffer to exist any Adverse Claim upon (including, without limitation, the filing of any financing statement) or with respect to, any Receivable, Related Security or Collections, or upon or with respect to any Contract under which any Receivable arises, or any Lock-Box or Collection Account, or assign any right to receive income with respect thereto (other than, in each case, the creation of the interests therein in favor of Buyer provided for herein), and such Originator will defend the right, title and interest of Buyer in, to and under any of the foregoing property, against all claims of third parties claiming through or under such Originator. Such Originator shall not create or suffer to exist any mortgage, pledge, security interest, encumbrance, lien, charge or other similar arrangement on any of its inventory, unless agreed to in advance in writing by Buyer (and its assigns).

          (e) Accounting for Purchase. Such Originator will not, and will not permit any Affiliate to, account for or treat (whether in financial statements or otherwise) the transactions contemplated hereby in any manner other than the sale of the Receivables and the Related Security by such Originator to Buyer or in any other respect account for or treat the transactions contemplated hereby in any manner other than as a sale of the Receivables and the Related Security by such Originator to Buyer except to the extent that such transactions are not

15


 

recognized on account of consolidated financial reporting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

          (d) (i) Any Originator or any of its Subsidiaries shall generally not pay its debts as such debts become due or shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally or shall make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or (ii) any proceeding shall be instituted by or against any Originator or any of its Subsidiaries seeking to adjudicate it bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking liquidation, winding up, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, protection, relief or composition of it or its debts under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors, or seeking the entry of an order for relief or the appointment of a receiver, trustee or other similar official for it or any substantial part of its property and, in the case of any such proceeding instituted against such Originator, either such proceeding shall remain undismissed or unstayed for a period of sixty (60) days or any of the relief sought in such proceedings shall be granted or (iii) any Originator or any of its Subsidiaries shall take any corporate action to authorize any of the actions set forth in the foregoing clauses (i) or (ii) of this subsection (d).

          Section 5.2 Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Amortization Event, Buyer may take any of the following actions: (i) declare the Amortization Date to have occurred, whereupon the Amortization Date shall forthwith occur, without demand, protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by each Originator; provided, however, that upon the occurrence of Amortization Event described in Section 5.1(d), or of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to any Originator under the Federal Bankruptcy Code, the Amortization Date shall automatically occur, without demand, protest or any notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by each Originator and (ii) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, declare that the Default Fee shall accrue with respect to any amounts then due and owing to Buyer by any Originator.

Without limiting any other rights that Buyer may have hereunder or under applicable law, each Originator hereby agrees to indemnify Buyer and its assigns, officers, directors, agents and employees (each an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all damages, losses, claims, taxes, liabilities, costs, expenses and for all other amounts payable, including reasonable attorneys’ fees (which attorneys may be employees of Buyer) and disbursements (all of the foregoing being collectively referred to as “Indemnified Amounts”) awarded against or incurred by any of them arising out of or as a result of this Agreement or the acquisition, either directly or indirectly, by Buyer of an interest in the Receivables, excluding, however:

       (i) Indemnified Amounts to the extent a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction holds that such Indemnified Amounts resulted from bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Indemnified Party seeking indemnification;

  overall net income of such Indemnified Party to the extent that the computation of such taxes is consistent with the Intended Characterization;

provided, however, that nothing contained in this sentence shall limit the liability of such Originator or limit the recourse of Buyer to such Originator for amounts otherwise specifically provided to be paid by such Originator under the terms of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing indemnification, such Originator shall indemnify Buyer for Indemnified Amounts (including, without limitation, losses in respect of uncollectible receivables, regardless of whether reimbursement therefor would constitute recourse to such Originator) relating to or resulting from:

       (F) the commingling of Collections of Receivables at any time with other funds;

18


 

  such Originator in which any Indemnified Party becomes involved as a result of any of the transactions contemplated hereby;
 
       (H) any inability to litigate any claim against any Obligor in respect of any Receivable as a result of such Obligor being immune from civil and commercial law and suit on the grounds of sovereignty or otherwise from any legal action, suit or proceeding;
 
       (I) any Amortization Event described in Section 5.1(d);

Reference to Section 1.2 of the Sale Agreement is hereby made for a statement of the terms and conditions under which the loans evidenced hereby have been and will be made. All terms which are capitalized and used herein and which are not otherwise specifically defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Sale Agreement. [This Subordinated Note amends, restates and consolidates the Subordinated Notes, each dated December 31, 2002, made by the SPV in favor of each of Insight Direct USA, Inc., Comark Corporate Sales, Inc., Insight Services Corporation and Comark, Inc., but shall not constitute a repayment, refinancing or novation thereof.]* [This Subordinated Note amends and restates the Subordinated Note dated December 31, 2002, made by the SPV in favor of Comark Government and Education Sales, Inc., but shall not constitute a repayment, refinancing or novation thereof.]**

Exh. VI-1


 

upon such election the amount of interest due but unpaid on such date shall constitute principal under this Subordinated Note.

          4. Subordination. The indebtedness evidenced by this Subordinated Note is subordinated to the prior payment in full of all of SPV’s recourse obligations under that certain Receivables Purchase Agreement dated as of December 31, 2002 by and among SPV, Insight Enterprises, Inc., as Servicer, various “Purchasers” from time to time party thereto, and Bank One, NA (Main Office Chicago), as the “Agent” (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Purchase Agreement”).

Should any payment, distribution or security or proceeds thereof be received by Originator in violation of the immediately preceding sentence, Originator agrees that such payment shall be segregated, received and held in trust for the benefit of, and deemed to be the property of, and shall be immediately paid over and delivered to the Agent for the benefit of the Senior Claimants.

          5. Bankruptcy; Insolvency. Upon the occurrence of any proceeding of the type described in Section 5.1(d) of the Sale Agreement involving SPV as debtor, then and in any such event the Senior Claimants shall receive payment in full of all amounts due or to become due on or in respect of Capital and the Senior Claim (including “CP Costs” and “Yield” as defined and as accruing under the Purchase Agreement after the commencement of any such

Exh. VI-2


 

proceeding, whether or not any or all of such CP Costs or Yield is an allowable claim in any such proceeding) before Originator is entitled to receive payment on account of this Subordinated Note, and to that end, any payment or distribution of assets of SPV of any kind or character, whether in cash, securities or other property, in any applicable insolvency proceeding, which would otherwise be payable to or deliverable upon or with respect to any or all indebtedness under this Subordinated Note, is hereby assigned to and shall be paid or delivered by the Person making such payment or delivery (whether a trustee in bankruptcy, a receiver, custodian or liquidating trustee or otherwise) directly to the Agent for application to, or as collateral for the payment of, the Senior Claim until such Senior Claim shall have been paid in full and satisfied.
