Forward-looking statements address matters that involve risks and uncertainties that are beyond the ability of the Company to control and, in some cases, predict. Accordingly, there are or will be important factors that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those indicated in these statements. Key factors that could cause the Company’s actual financial results, performance or condition to differ from the expectations expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following:

the effect of laws and regulations targeting our industry that directly or indirectly regulate or prohibit our operations or render them unprofitable or impractical;
the effect of and compliance with domestic and international consumer credit, tax and other laws and government rules and regulations applicable to our business, including changes in such laws, rules and regulations, or changes in the interpretation or enforcement thereof, and the regulatory and examination authority of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau with respect to providers of consumer financial products and services in the United States;
the effect of and compliance with enforcement actions, orders and agreements issued by applicable regulators, such as the January 2019 Consent Order issued by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau;
changes in federal or state laws or regulations, or judicial decisions involving licensing or supervision of commercial lenders, interest rate limitations, the enforceability of choice of law provisions in loan agreements, the validity of bank sponsor partnerships, the use of brokers or other significant changes;
our ability to process or collect loans and finance receivables through the Automated Clearing House system;
the deterioration of the political, regulatory or economic environment in countries where we operate or in the future may operate;
the actions of third parties who provide, acquire or offer products and services to, from or for us;
public and regulatory perception of the consumer loan business, small business financing and our business practices;
the effect of any current or future litigation proceedings and any judicial decisions or rulemaking that affects us, our products or the legality or enforceability of our arbitration agreements;
changes in demand for our services, changes in competition and the continued acceptance of the online channel by our customers;
changes in our ability to satisfy our debt obligations or to refinance existing debt obligations or obtain new capital to finance growth;
a prolonged interruption in the operations of our facilities, systems and business functions, including our information technology and other business systems;
compliance with laws and regulations applicable to our international operations, including anti-corruption laws such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and international anti-money laundering, trade and economic sanctions laws;
our ability to attract and retain qualified officers;
cyber-attacks or security breaches;
acts of God, war or terrorism, pandemics and other events;
interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations;
changes in the capital markets, including the debt and equity markets;
the effects of macroeconomic conditions on our business, including inflation, recession and unemployment;
the effect of any of the above changes on our business or the markets in which we operate;
the risk that the Company will not successfully integrate acquired companies or that costs associated with integration are higher than anticipated; the risk that the cost savings, synergies, growth and cash flows from acquisitions will not be fully realized or will take longer to realize than expected;

 


 

litigation risk related to acquisitions; and
other risks and uncertainties described herein.

The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive and new factors may emerge or changes to these factors may occur that would impact the Company’s business and cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any of our forward-looking statements. Additional information regarding these and other factors may be contained in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Readers of this report are encouraged to review the Company’s filings with the SEC, including the risks described under “Risk Factors” contained in the Company’s Form 10-K and any updates to those risk factors contained in subsequent Forms 10-Q, to obtain more detail about the Company’s risks and uncertainties. All forward-looking statements involve risks, assumptions and uncertainties. The occurrence of the events described, and the achievement of the expected results, depends on many events, some or all of which are not predictable or within the Company’s control. If one or more events related to these or other risks or uncertainties materialize, or if management’s underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may differ materially from what the Company anticipates. The forward-looking statements in this report are made as of the date of this report, and the Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this report. All forward-looking statements in this report are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing cautionary statements.

ENOVA INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

1. Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of the Company

Enova International, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) operate an internet-based lending platform to serve customers in need of cash to fulfill their financial responsibilities. Through a network of direct and indirect marketing channels, the Company offers funds to its customers through a variety of loan and finance receivable products that are primarily unsecured. The business is operated primarily through the internet to provide convenient, fully-automated financial solutions to its customers. The Company originates, arranges, guarantees or purchases consumer loans and provides financing to small businesses through a line of credit account, installment loan or, until recently, receivables purchase agreement product (“RPAs”). Consumer loans include installment loans and line of credit accounts. RPAs represent a right to receive future receivables from a small business. The Company also provides services related to third-party lenders’ consumer loan products in some markets by acting as a credit services organization or credit access business on behalf of consumers in accordance with applicable state laws (“CSO program”).

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements of the Company included herein have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and reflect the historical results of operations and cash flows of the Company during each respective period. The consolidated financial statements include goodwill and intangible assets arising from businesses previously acquired. The financial information included herein may not be indicative of the consolidated financial position, operating results, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows of the Company in the future. Intercompany transactions are eliminated.

The Company consolidates any VIE where it has been determined it is the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is the entity which has both the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance as well as the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits of the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

The consolidated financial statements presented as of June 30, 2023 and 2022 and for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 are unaudited but, in management’s opinion, include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for such interim periods. Operating results for the three and six-month periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year.

These consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 and for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 and related notes, which are included on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 24, 2023.

Loans and Finance Receivables

The Company utilizes the fair value option on its entire loan and finance receivable portfolio. As such, loans and finance receivables are carried at fair value in the consolidated balance sheet with changes in fair value recorded in the consolidated income statement. To derive the fair value, the Company generally utilizes discounted cash flow analyses that factor in estimated losses, prepayments, utilization rates and servicing costs over the estimated duration of the underlying assets. Loss, prepayment, utilization and servicing cost assumptions are determined using historical data and include appropriate consideration of recent trends and anticipated future performance. Future cash flows are discounted using a rate of return that the Company believes a market participant would require. Accrued and unpaid interest and fees are included in “Loans and finance receivables at fair value” in the consolidated balance sheets.

If a loan is renewed or refinanced, the renewal or refinanced loan is considered a new loan. The Company generally does not consider modifications that do not necessitate the customer to sign a new loan agreement to be new loans.

ENOVA INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Current and Delinquent Loans and Finance Receivables

The Company classifies its loans and finance receivables as either current or delinquent. Excluding OnDeck loans and finance receivables, when a customer does not make a scheduled payment as of the due date, that payment is considered delinquent, and the remainder of the receivable balance is considered current. If the customer does not make two consecutive payments, the entire account or loan is classified as delinquent and placed on a non-accrual status. For the OnDeck portfolio, a loan is considered to be delinquent when the scheduled payments are one day past due. Loans are placed in nonaccrual status and the accrual of interest income is stopped on loans that are delinquent and non-paying. Loans are returned to accrual status if they are brought to non-delinquent status or have performed in accordance with the contractual terms for a reasonable period of time and, in the Company’s judgment, will continue to make periodic principal and interest payments as scheduled. The Company allows for normal payment processing time before considering a loan delinquent but does not provide for any additional grace period.

Where permitted by law and as long as a loan is not considered delinquent, a customer may choose to renew or extend the due date on certain installment loans. In order to renew or extend a single-pay loan, a customer must agree to pay the current finance charge for the right to make a later payment of the outstanding principal balance plus an additional finance charge. In order to renew an installment loan, the customer enters into a new installment loan contract and agrees to pay the principal balance and finance charge in accordance with the terms of the new loan contract. In certain situations, the Company offers forbearance options, such as payment deferrals, on its loan products without the incurrence of additional finance charges or late fees. If a loan is deemed to be current and the customer makes a deferral or payment modification, the loan is still deemed to be current until the next scheduled payment is missed.

For the consumer portfolio, the Company generally charges off loans and finance receivables between 60 and 65 days delinquent. If a loan or finance receivable is deemed uncollectible prior to this, it is charged off at that point. For the small business portfolio, the Company generally charges off a loan when it is probable that it will be unable to collect all of the remaining principal payments, which is generally after 90 days of delinquency and 30 days of non-activity. Recoveries on loans and finance receivables that were previously charged off are generally recognized when collected or sold.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in each business combination. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350, Goodwill, the Company tests goodwill and intangible assets with an indefinite life for potential impairment annually as of October 1 and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value below its carrying amount.

The Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative goodwill impairment test. In assessing the qualitative factors, management considers relevant events and circumstances including but not limited to macroeconomic conditions, industry and market environment, overall financial performance of the Company, cash flow from operating activities, market capitalization and stock price. If the Company determines that the quantitative impairment test is required, management uses the income approach to complete its annual goodwill assessment. The income approach uses future cash flows and estimated terminal values for the Company that are discounted using a market participant perspective to determine the fair value, which is then compared to the carrying value to determine if there is impairment. The income approach includes assumptions about revenue growth rates, operating margins and terminal growth rates discounted by an estimated weighted-average cost of capital derived from other publicly-traded companies that are similar but not identical from an operational and economic standpoint.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue based on the financing products and services it offers and on loans it acquires. “Revenue” in the consolidated statements of income primarily includes interest income, statement and draw fees on line of credit accounts, fees for services provided through the Company’s CSO program (“CSO fees”), revenue on RPAs, origination fees, and other fees as permitted by applicable laws and pursuant to the agreement with the customer. Interest income is generally recognized on an effective yield basis over the contractual term of the loan on installment loans or the estimated outstanding period of the draw on line of credit accounts. Statement fees on line of credit accounts are similar to interest charges and are generally recognized similarly to interest income. Draw fees on line of credit accounts are generally recognized at the time of draw. Revenue on RPAs is recognized over the projected delivery term of the agreement. CSO fees are recognized over the term of the loan. Origination fees are charged to customers on certain installment loan products and are recognized upon origination.

Marketing Expenses

Marketing expenses consist of digital costs, lead purchase costs and offline marketing costs such as television and direct mail advertising. All marketing expenses are expensed as incurred.

Equity Method Investments

In the second quarter of 2022, the Company sold its remaining interest in On Deck Capital Canada Holdings, Inc. (“OnDeck Canada”), which resulted in a net loss of $4.4 million. Prior to this, the Company recorded its interest in OnDeck Canada under the equity method of accounting.

On February 24, 2021, the Company contributed the platform-as-service business assumed in the OnDeck acquisition to Linear Financial Technologies Holding LLC (“Linear”) in exchange for ownership units in that entity. The Company records its interest in Linear under the equity method of accounting. As of June 30, 2023 and 2022 and December 31, 2022, the carrying value of the Company’s investment in Linear was $16.0 million, $16.7 million and $18.3 million, respectively, which the Company has included in “Other assets” on the consolidated balance sheets.

In December 2021, the Company sold a portion of its interest in On Deck Capital Australia PTY LTD (“OnDeck Australia”). Prior to this, the Company had consolidated the financial position and results of operations of OnDeck Australia under the voting interest model. Subsequent to the transaction, the Company owns a 20% equity interest in OnDeck Australia and no longer has control over the entity; as such, the Company has deconsolidated OnDeck Australia from its financial statements and now records its interest under the equity method of accounting. As of June 30, 2023 and 2022 and December 31, 2022, the carrying value of the Company’s investment in OnDeck Australia was $0.0 million, $1.4 million and $1.1 million, respectively, which the Company has included in “Other assets” on the consolidated balance sheets.

Equity method income has been included in “Equity method investment income” in the consolidated income statements.

Variable Interest Entities

As part of the Company’s overall funding strategy and as part of its efforts to support its liquidity from varying sources, the Company has established a securitization program through several securitization facilities. The Company transfers certain loan receivables to VIEs, which issue notes backed by the underlying loan receivables and are serviced by another wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The cash flows from the loans held by the VIEs are used to repay obligations under the notes.

The Company is required to evaluate the VIEs for consolidation. The Company has the ability to direct the activities of the VIEs that most significantly impact the economic performance of the entities as the servicer of the securitized loan receivables. Additionally, the Company has the right to receive residual payments, which expose it to potentially significant losses and returns. Accordingly, the Company determined it is the primary beneficiary of the VIEs and is required to consolidate them. The assets and liabilities related to the VIEs are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements and are accounted for as secured borrowings.

Guarantees of Consumer Loans

In connection with its CSO program, the Company guarantees consumer loan payment obligations to an unrelated third-party lender for consumer loans and is required to purchase any defaulted loans it has guaranteed. The guarantee represents an obligation to purchase specific loans that go into default. As of June 30, 2023 and 2022 and December 31, 2022, the consumer loans guaranteed by the Company had an estimated fair value of $19.1 million, $17.9 million and $16.3 million, respectively, and an outstanding principal balance of $14.2 million, $11.9 million and $12.9 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2023 and 2022 and December 31, 2022, the amount of consumer loans, including principal, fees and interest, guaranteed by the Company was $17.0 million, $14.0 million and $15.6 million, respectively.

These loans are not included in the consolidated balance sheets as the Company does not own the loans prior to default.

 

 

3. Leases

The Company has operating leases primarily for its corporate headquarters, other offices located in the U.S. and certain equipment. The Company’s leases have remaining lease terms of less than one year to twelve years. Certain leases include options to extend the leases for up to five years, while others include options to terminate the leases within one year. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

The Company determines if an arrangement is an operating lease at inception. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the consolidated balance sheet. All other operating leases are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet with right-of-use assets representing the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities representing the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term and include options to extend or terminate the lease when they are reasonably certain to be exercised. The right-of-use assets represent the lease liability, plus any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives received. If a lease does not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental secured borrowing rate, adjusted for the maturity date, based on information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. Lease agreements with lease and non-lease components are accounted for as a single lease component. The Company’s operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is recorded in general and administrative expense.

During the first quarter of 2023, the Company entered into the third amendment to the lease (the “Amendment”) for its headquarters in Chicago. The Amendment, among other changes, will result in the surrender of a portion of space currently leased by the Company, the addition of remaining space on a separate floor that is currently partially occupied by the Company, a change to the base rent schedule and an extension of the lease term from August 2027 to February 2035. As a result of the Amendment, the Company recognized an adjustment to decrease both its operating lease liability and operating lease right of use asset balances by $7.9 million and recognized a $1.7 million loss on the impairment of leasehold improvement assets related to the surrendered space that have no future utility.

Recent Updates to Debt Facilities

HWCR 2023 Securitization Facility

On May 25, 2023 (the “HWCR 2023 Closing Date”), the Company and several of its subsidiaries entered into a receivables securitization (the “HWCR 2023 Securitization Facility”) with lenders party thereto from time to time, BNP Paribas, as administrative agent and collateral agent, and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as paying agent. The HWCR 2023 Securitization Facility finances securitization receivables that have been and will be originated under the Company’s Headway Capital brand by a wholly-owned subsidiary and that meet specified eligibility criteria. Under the HWCR 2023 Securitization Facility, eligible securitization receivables are sold to a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “HWCR 2023 Debtor”) and serviced by another subsidiary of the Company.

The HWCR 2023 Securitization Facility has Class A and Class B revolving commitments of $215.0 million and $72.2 million, respectively, which are required to be secured by eligible securitization receivables. The HWCR 2023 Securitization Facility is non-recourse to the Company and matures three years after the HWCR 2023 Closing Date. As of June 30, 2023, the total outstanding amount of the HWCR 2023 Securitization Facility was $221.0 million.

The HWCR 2023 Securitization Facility is governed by a credit agreement, dated as of the HWCR 2023 Closing Date, among the HWCR 2023 Debtor, the administrative and collateral agent, the lenders, and the paying agent. The Class A revolving loans accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to the Commercial Paper rate plus 2.7% with an advance rate of 65.5%. The Class B revolving loans accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus 8.50% with an advance rate of 87.5%. Interest payments on the HWCR 2023 Securitization Facility are made monthly.

All amounts due under the HWCR 2023 Securitization Facility are secured by all of the HWCR 2023 Debtor’s assets, which include the eligible securitization receivables transferred to the HWCR 2023 Debtor, related rights under the eligible securitization receivables, a bank account and certain other related collateral. The Company has issued a limited indemnity to the lenders for certain “bad acts,” and the Company has agreed for the benefit of the lenders to meet certain ongoing financial performance covenants.

The HWCR 2023 Securitization Facility documents contain customary provisions for securitizations, including representations and warranties as to the eligibility of the eligible securitization receivables and other matters; indemnification for specified losses not including losses due to the inability of customers to repay their loans or lines of credit; covenants regarding special purpose entity matters; and default and termination provisions which provide for the acceleration of the HWCR 2023 Securitization Facility in circumstances including, but not limited to, failure to make payments when due, certain insolvency events, breaches of representations, warranties or covenants, failure to maintain the security interest in the eligible securitization receivables, and defaults under other material indebtedness of the HWCR 2023 Debtor.

On March 3, 2023 (the “2023-A Closing Date”), the Company issued $170.0 million in aggregate principal notes (the “2023-A Notes”) through an indirect subsidiary, NetCredit Combined Receivables 2023, LLC (the “Issuer”). The 2023-A Notes were sold at a discount of the principal amount to yield 9.00% to expected maturity (equivalent to 3.975% spread above interpolated U.S. Treasuries) and are backed by a pool of unsecured consumer installment loans (“Securitization Receivables”). The 2023-A Notes represent obligations of the Issuer only and are not guaranteed by the Company. Under the 2023-A Notes, approximately $200.0 million of Securitization Receivables have been sold to a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and serviced by another subsidiary of the Company.

The net proceeds of the offering of the 2023-A Notes on the 2023-A Closing Date were used to acquire the Securitization Receivables from certain subsidiaries of the Company, fund a reserve account and pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the transaction.

The 2023-A Notes were offered only to “qualified institutional buyers” pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to certain persons outside of the United States in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act.

8.50% Senior Notes Due 2024

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company repurchased $69.6 million principal amount of the 8.50% Senior Notes Due 2024 for aggregate cash consideration of $69.5 million plus accrued interest. In connection with these purchases, the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $0.3 million ($0.2 million, net of tax), which is included in “Other nonoperating expenses” in the consolidated statements of income.

5. Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was 24.0%, compared to 24.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The slight decrease is primarily attributable to larger excess tax benefits on stock compensation due to stock price appreciation coupled with a beneficial rate change on the measurement of the net deferred tax liability, partially offset by additional interest expense on unrecognized tax benefits.

As of June 30, 2023, the balance of unrecognized tax benefits, inclusive of interest and penalties, was $110.7 million, which is included in “Accounts payable and accrued expenses” on the consolidated balance sheet, $13.6 million of which, if recognized, would favorably affect the effective tax rate in the period of recognition. The Company had $64.7 million and $87.7 million of unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Based on the expiration of the statute of limitations for certain jurisdictions, the Company believes it is reasonably possible that, within the next twelve months, unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by approximately $3.1 million. The Company believes that it has adequately accounted for any material tax uncertainties in its existing reserves for all open tax years.

The Company’s U.S. tax returns are subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities. The statute of limitations related to the Company’s consolidated Federal income tax returns is closed for all tax years up to and including 2018. However, the 2014 tax year is still open to the extent of the net operating loss that was carried back from the 2019 tax return. The years open to examination by state, local and foreign government authorities vary by jurisdiction, but the statute of limitation is generally three years from the date the tax return is filed. For jurisdictions that have generated net operating losses, carryovers may be subject to the statute of limitations applicable for the year those carryovers are utilized. In these cases, the period for which the losses may be adjusted will extend to conform with the statute of limitations for the year in which the losses are utilized. In most circumstances, this is expected to increase the length of time that the applicable taxing authority may examine the carryovers by one year or longer, in limited cases.

 

 

6. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by giving effect to the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common shares were exercised and converted into common shares during the period. Restricted stock units issued under the Company’s stock-based employee compensation plans are included in diluted shares upon the granting of the awards even though the vesting of shares will occur over time.

The following table sets forth the reconciliation of numerators and denominators of basic and diluted earnings per share computations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 (in thousands, except per share amounts):

8. Commitments and Contingencies

Consumer Financial Protection Bureau

In May 2021, the Company received a Civil Investigative Demand (“CID”) from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”) concerning certain loan processing issues. The Company cooperated and provided requested data and information in response to the CID. In April 2022, we received a second CID requesting additional information, which we have also provided. Management expects ongoing interactions in this matter and is unable to estimate how long this investigation will continue, whether and in what manner any legal actions may commence, or what the ultimate outcome of this matter will be. If the CFPB were to pursue legal actions, it may seek monetary penalties, restitution, injunctive relief, or other damages. Management does not currently believe that the outcome of this matter will have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, or results of operations.

Litigation

On April 23, 2018, the Commonwealth of Virginia, through Attorney General Mark R. Herring, filed a lawsuit in the Circuit Court for the County of Fairfax, Virginia against NC Financial Solutions of Utah, LLC (“NC Utah”), a subsidiary of the Company. The lawsuit alleges violations of the Virginia Consumer Protection Act relating to NC Utah’s communications with customers, collections of certain payments, its loan agreements, and the rates it charged to Virginia borrowers. The plaintiff sought to enjoin NC Utah from continuing its then-existing lending practices in Virginia, and still seeks restitution, civil penalties, and costs and expenses in connection with the same. Due to a change in the law, NC Utah no longer lends to Virginia residents and the injunctive remedies sought against NC Utah’s lending practices are no longer applicable. Neither the likelihood of an unfavorable decision nor the ultimate liability, if any, with respect to this matter can be determined at this time, and the Company is currently unable to estimate a range of reasonably possible losses, as defined by ASC 450-20-20, Contingencies–Loss Contingencies–Glossary, for this litigation. The Company carefully considered applicable Virginia law before NC Utah began lending in Virginia and, as a result, believes that the plaintiff’s claims in the complaint are without merit and intends to vigorously defend this lawsuit.

The Company is also involved in certain routine legal proceedings, claims and litigation matters encountered in the ordinary course of its business. Certain of these matters may be covered to an extent by insurance or by indemnification agreements with third parties. The Company has recorded accruals in its consolidated financial statements for those matters in which it is probable that it has incurred a loss and the amount of the loss, or range of loss, can be reasonably estimated. In the opinion of management, the resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

9. Related Party Transactions

In October 2019, the Company announced its intent to exit its operations in the U.K. market, and Grant Thornton LLP, a licensed U.K. insolvency practitioner, was appointed as administrators (“Administrators”) to take control of management of the U.K. businesses. The effect of the U.K. businesses’ entry into administration was to place their management, affairs, business and property under the direct control of the Administrators. The Company entered into a service agreement with the Administrators under which the Company provided certain administrative, technical and other services in exchange for compensation by the Administrators. The agreement expired on July 8, 2022 and was not extended beyond that date. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded $0.2 million in revenue related to these services. As of June 30, 2022, the Administrators owed the Company less than $0.1 million related to services provided.

On February 24, 2021, the Company contributed the platform-as-service business assumed in the OnDeck acquisition to Linear in exchange for ownership units in that entity. The Company records its interest in Linear under the equity method of accounting. As of June 30, 2023 and 2022 and December 31, 2022, there was no outstanding balance between Linear and the Company.

In December 2021, the Company divested a portion of its interest in OnDeck Australia and began recording its remaining interest utilizing the equity method of accounting. As of June 30, 2023 and 2022 and December 31, 2022, the Company had a due from affiliate balance of $0.1 million, $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, related to OnDeck Australia.

 

 

10. Fair Value Measurements

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The Company uses a hierarchical framework that prioritizes and ranks the market observability of inputs used in its fair value measurements. Market price observability is affected by a number of factors, including the type of asset or liability and the characteristics specific to the asset or liability being measured. Assets and liabilities with readily available, active, quoted market prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices generally are deemed to have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value. The Company classifies the inputs used to measure fair value into one of three levels as follows:

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Inputs other than Level 1, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, and model-derived prices whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability measured.

Observable inputs are based on market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs are based on the Company’s market assumptions. Unobservable inputs require significant management judgment or estimation. In some cases, the inputs used to measure an asset or liability may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those cases, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level of input that is significant to the entire measurement. Such determination requires significant management judgment.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, there were no transfers of assets or liabilities in or out of Level 3 fair value measurements. It is the Company’s policy to value any transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy based on end of period fair values.

(1) Consumer and small business loans and finance receivables are included in “Loans and finance receivables at fair value” in the consolidated balance sheets.

(2) Consumer loans and finance receivables include $695.1 million, $435.6 million and $528.8 million in assets of consolidated VIEs as of June 30, 2023 and 2022 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Small business loans and finance receivables include $1,288.0 million, $758.5 million and $1,170.9 million in assets of consolidated VIEs as of June 30, 2023 and 2022 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

(3) The non-qualified savings plan assets are included in “Other receivables and prepaid expenses” in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and have an offsetting liability, which is included in “Accounts payable and accrued expenses” in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

(4) Investment in trading security is included in “Other assets” in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

The Company primarily estimates the fair value of its loan and finance receivables portfolio using discounted cash flow models that have been internally developed. The models use inputs, such as estimated losses, prepayments, utilization rates, servicing costs and discount rates, that are unobservable but reflect the Company’s best estimates of the assumptions a market participant would use to calculate fair value. Certain unobservable inputs may, in isolation, have either a directionally consistent or opposite impact on the fair value of the financial instrument for a given change in that input. An increase to the net loss rate, prepayment rate, servicing cost, or discount rate would decrease the fair value of the Company’s loans and finance receivables. When multiple inputs are used within the valuation techniques for loans, a change in one input in a certain direction may be offset by an opposite change from another input.

The fair value of the nonqualified savings plan assets was deemed Level 1 as they are publicly traded equity securities for which market prices of identical assets are readily observable.

The fair value of the investment in trading security was deemed Level 1 as it is a publicly traded fund with active market pricing that is readily available.

The Company measures the fair value of its investment in unconsolidated investee using Level 3 inputs. Because the unconsolidated investee is a private company and financial information is limited, the Company estimates the fair value based on the best available information at the measurement date.

The Company measures the fair value of its revolving line of credit using Level 3 inputs. The Company considered the fair value of its other long-term debt and the timing of expected payment(s).

The fair values of the Company’s Securitization Notes and senior notes are estimated based on quoted prices in markets that are not active, which are deemed Level 2 inputs.

 

 

11. Subsequent Events

Subsequent events have been reviewed through the date these financial statements were issued.

On July 27, 2023, OnDeck Asset Securitization IV, LLC (“ODAS IV”), a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of the Company, issued $227.1 million in initial principal amount of Series 2023-1 Fixed Rate Asset-Backed Notes (the "ODAS IV Securitization Notes”) in a private securitization transaction. The ODAS IV Securitization Notes have a legal final payment date in August 2030 and were issued in three classes with initial principal amounts and fixed interest rates (per annum) as follows: Class A notes of $143.8 million at 7.00%, Class B notes of $56.3 million at 8.25%, and Class C notes of $27.0 million at 9.93%. Collateral for the ODAS IV Securitization Notes consists of, among other things, a revolving pool of small business loans originated or purchased by ODK Capital, LLC ( “ODK”), which is a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of the Company. ODAS IV will use the net proceeds of the proposed private offering to purchase small business loans from ODK that will be pledged as collateral for the ODAS IV Securitization Notes and fund a reserve account. ODK is the servicer of the loans securing the ODAS IV Securitization Notes. ODAS IV is the sole obligor of the ODAS IV Securitization Notes, which are not obligations of, or guaranteed by, the Company or ODK. The Company will use the proceeds it receives from ODAS IV for general corporate purposes. The ODAS IV Securitization Notes were offered to “qualified institutional buyers” pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to certain persons outside of the United States in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

We are a leading technology and analytics company focused on providing online financial services. In 2022, we extended approximately $4.5 billion in credit or financing to borrowers and for the six months ended June 30, 2023, we extended approximately $2.2 billion in credit or financing to borrowers. As of June 30, 2023, we offered or arranged loans or draws on lines of credit to consumers in 37 states in the United States and Brazil. We also offered financing to small businesses in 47 states and Washington D.C. in the United States. We use our proprietary technology, analytics and customer service capabilities to quickly evaluate, underwrite and fund loans or provide financing, allowing us to offer consumers and small businesses credit or financing when and how they want it. Our customers include the large and growing number of consumers who and small businesses which have bank accounts but use alternative financial services because of their limited access to more traditional credit from banks, credit card companies and other lenders. We were an early entrant into online lending, launching our online business in 2004, and through June 30, 2023, we have completed approximately 59.4 million customer transactions and collected more than 60 terabytes of currently accessible customer behavior data since launch, allowing us to better analyze and underwrite our specific customer base. We have significantly diversified our business over the past several years, having expanded the markets we serve and the financing products we offer. These financing products include installment loans and line of credit accounts.

We believe our customers highly value our products and services as an important component of their personal or business finances because our products are convenient, quick and often less expensive than other available alternatives. We attribute the success of our business to our advanced and innovative technology systems, the proprietary analytical models we use to predict the performance of loans and finance receivables, our sophisticated customer acquisition programs, our dedication to customer service and our talented employees.

We have developed proprietary underwriting systems based on data we have collected over our more than 19 years of experience. These systems employ advanced risk analytics, including machine learning and artificial intelligence, to decide whether to approve financing transactions, to structure the amount and terms of the financings we offer pursuant to jurisdiction-specific regulations and to provide customers with their funds quickly and efficiently. Our systems closely monitor collection and portfolio performance data that we use to continually refine machine learning-enabled analytical models and statistical measures used in making our credit, purchase, marketing and collection decisions. Approximately 90% of models used in our analytical environment are machine learning-enabled.

Our flexible and scalable technology platforms allow us to process and complete customers’ transactions quickly and efficiently. In 2022, we processed approximately 2.5 million transactions, and we continue to grow our loans and finance receivable portfolios and increase the number of customers we serve through desktop, tablet and mobile platforms. Our highly customizable technology platforms allow us to efficiently develop and deploy new products to adapt to evolving regulatory requirements and consumer preference, and to enter new markets quickly. In 2012, we launched a new product in the United States designed to serve near-prime customers. In 2014, we launched our business in Brazil, where we arrange financing for borrowers through a third-party lender, and we introduced a new line of credit product in the United States to serve the needs of small businesses. In 2015, we further expanded our product offering by acquiring certain assets of a company that provided financing and installment loans to small businesses by offering receivables purchase agreements (“RPAs”). In October 2020, we acquired, through a merger, On Deck Capital Inc. (“OnDeck”), a small business lending company offering lending and funding solutions to small businesses in the U.S., Australia and Canada, to expand our small business offerings. In March 2021, we acquired Pangea Universal Holdings (“Pangea”), which provides mobile international money transfer services to customers in the U.S with a focus on Latin America and Asia. These new products have allowed us to further diversify our product offerings and customer base.

We have been able to consistently acquire new customers and successfully generate repeat business from returning customers when they need financing. We believe our customers are loyal to us because they are satisfied with our products and services. We acquire new customers from a variety of sources, including visits to our own websites, mobile sites or applications, and through direct marketing, affiliate marketing, lead providers and relationships with other lenders.

21


 

We believe that the online convenience of our products and our 24/7 availability to accept applications with quick approval decisions are important to our customers.

Once a potential customer submits an application, we quickly provide a credit or purchase decision. If a loan or financing is approved, we or our lending partner typically fund the loan or financing the next business day or, in some cases, the same day. During the entire process, from application through payment, we provide access to our well-trained customer service team. All of our operations, from customer acquisition through collections, are structured to build customer satisfaction and loyalty, in the event that a customer has a need for our products in the future. We have developed a series of sophisticated proprietary scoring models to support our various products. We believe that these models are an integral component of our operations and allow us to complete a high volume of customer transactions while actively managing risk and the related credit quality of our loan and finance receivable portfolios. We believe our successful application of these technological innovations differentiates our capabilities relative to competing platforms as evidenced by our history of strong growth and stable credit quality.


PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

Our online financing products and services provide customers with a deposit of funds to their bank account in exchange for a commitment to repay the amount deposited plus fees and interest. We originate, arrange, guarantee or purchase installment loans and line of credit accounts to consumers and small businesses. We have one reportable segment that includes all of our online financial services. Our loans and finance receivables generally have regular payments that amortize principal. Interest income is generally recognized on an effective, non-accelerated yield basis over the contractual term of the installment loan or estimated outstanding period of the draw on line of credit accounts.

Installment loans. Certain subsidiaries (i) directly offer installment loans, (ii) as part of our Bank Programs, purchase or purchase a participating interest in, installment loans or (iii) as part of our CSO program, arrange and guarantee installment loans, as discussed below. Certain subsidiaries offer, or arrange through our Bank Programs and CSO program, unsecured consumer installment loan products in 37 states in the United States. Internationally, we also offer or arrange unsecured consumer installment loan products in Brazil. Effective in the third quarter of 2022, Enova no longer offers any single-pay products. Terms for our installment loan products range between three and 60 months with regular payments that amortize principal. Loan sizes for these products range between $300 and $10,500. The majority of these loans accrue interest daily at a fixed rate for the life of the loan and have no fees. The average annualized yield for these loans was 72% for the year ended December 31, 2022. Loans may be repaid early at any time with no additional prepayment charges.

Certain subsidiaries offer, or arrange through our Bank Programs, small business installment loans in 47 states and in Washington D.C. Terms for these products range between three and 24 months with regular payments that amortize principal. Loan sizes for these products range between $5,000 and $250,000. There is generally a fee paid upon origination, and total interest is typically calculated at a fixed rate for the life of the loan. A portion of the interest is forgivable if prepaid early, although we also offer a full prepayment forgiveness option at a higher interest rate. The average annualized yield for these products was 46% for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Line of credit accounts. Certain subsidiaries directly offer, or purchase a participation interest in receivables through our Bank Programs, new consumer line of credit accounts in 31 states (and continue to service existing line of credit accounts in two additional states) in the United States. Line of credit accounts allow customers to draw on their unsecured line of credit in increments of their choosing up to their credit limit, which ranges between $100 and $7,000. Customers may pay off their account balance in full at any time or make required minimum payments in accordance with the terms of the line of credit account. The repayment period varies depending upon certain factors, which may include outstanding principal and differences in minimum payment calculations by product. Customers are charged a fee when funds are drawn and subsequently incur fee- or interest-based charges at a fixed rate, depending upon the product and the state in which the customer resides. The average annualized yield for these products was 212% for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Certain subsidiaries offer, or arrange through our Bank Programs, small business line of credit accounts in 47 states and in Washington D.C. in the United States. Terms for these products range between 12 and 24 months with regular payments that amortize principal. Loan sizes for these products range between $5,000 and $100,000. Interest is calculated at a fixed rate based on the outstanding balance. There is generally no fee paid upon origination with the exception of one of our small business line of credit products, which has an origination fee when allowed by state law. Certain small business line of credit accounts also charge a monthly maintenance fee. The average annualized yield for these products was 48% for the year ended December 31, 2022.

CSO program. We currently operate a credit services organization or credit access business (“CSO”) program in Texas. Through our CSO program, we provide services related to a third-party lender’s installment consumer loan products by acting as a credit services organization or credit access business on behalf of consumers in accordance with applicable state laws. Services offered under our CSO program include credit-related services such as arranging loans with an independent third-party lender and assisting in the preparation of loan applications and loan documents (“CSO loans”).

22


 

When a consumer executes an agreement with us under our CSO program, we agree, for a fee payable to us by the consumer, to provide certain services, one of which is to guarantee the consumer’s obligation to repay the loan received by the consumer from the third-party lender if the consumer fails to do so. For CSO loans, the lender is responsible for providing the criteria by which the consumer’s application is underwritten and, if approved, determining the amount of the consumer loan. We, in turn, are responsible for assessing whether or not we will guarantee such loan. The guarantee represents an obligation to purchase the loan, which has terms of up to six months, if it goes into default.
Bank programs. Certain subsidiaries operate programs with certain banks (“Bank Programs”) to provide marketing services and loan servicing for near-prime unsecured consumer installment loans and, beginning in January 2021, line of credit accounts. Under the programs, those subsidiaries receive marketing and servicing fees. The bank has the ability to sell, and the participating subsidiaries have the option, but not the requirement, to purchase, the loans or a participating interest in receivables the bank originates. We do not guarantee the performance of the loans and line of credit accounts originated by the bank. As part of the OnDeck business both prior and subsequent to Enova’s acquisition, OnDeck operates a program with a separate bank to provide marketing services and loan servicing for small business installment loans and line of credit accounts. Under the OnDeck program, we receive marketing fees while the bank receives origination fees and certain program fees. The bank has the ability to sell and we have the option, but not the requirement, to purchase the installment loans the bank originates and, in the case of line of credit accounts, extensions under those line of credit accounts. We do not guarantee the performance of the loans or line of credit accounts originated by the bank.
Money transfer business. Through the acquisition of Pangea, we operate a money transfer platform that allows customers to send money from the United States to Mexico, other Latin American countries and Asia. The customer pays us in U.S. dollars, and we then make local currency available to the intended recipient of the transfer in one of many termination countries. Our revenue model includes a fee per transfer and an exchange rate spread. Our customers can access our proprietary platform via the website, Android app, or iOS (Apple) app.

Our internet websites and the information contained therein or connected thereto are not intended to be incorporated by reference into this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

RECENT REGULATORY DEVELOPMENTS

Consumer Financial Protection Bureau

On May 24, 2021, we received a Civil Investigative Demand (“CID”) from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”) concerning certain loan processing issues. We cooperated fully with the CFPB and provided all requested data and information in response to the CID. We anticipate being able to expeditiously complete the investigation as several of the issues were self‐disclosed and we have provided restitution to customers who may have been negatively impacted. We received a second CID in April 2022 requesting additional information. We have provided all requested information in response to the CID.

On October 6, 2017, the CFPB issued its final rule entitled “Payday, Vehicle Title, and Certain High-Cost Installment Loans” (the “Small Dollar Rule”), which covers certain consumer loans that we offer. The Small Dollar Rule requires that lenders who make short-term loans and longer-term loans with balloon payments reasonably determine consumers’ ability to repay the loans according to their terms before issuing the loans. The Small Dollar Rule also introduces new limitations on repayment processes for those lenders as well as lenders of other longer-term loans with an annual percentage rate greater than 36 percent that include an ACH authorization or similar payment provision. If a consumer has two consecutive failed payment attempts, the lender must obtain the consumer’s new and specific authorization to make further withdrawals from the consumer’s bank account. For loans covered by the Small Dollar Rule, lenders must provide certain notices to consumers before attempting a first payment withdrawal or an unusual withdrawal and after two consecutive failed withdrawal attempts. On June 7, 2019, the CFPB issued a final rule to set the compliance date for the mandatory underwriting provisions of the Small Dollar Rule to November 19, 2020. On July 7, 2020, the CFPB issued a final rule rescinding the ability-to-repay (“ATR”) provisions of the Small Dollar Rule along with related provisions, such as the establishment of registered information systems for checking ATR and reporting loan activity.

23


 

The payment provisions of the Small Dollar Rule remain in place. In April 2018, an action was filed against the CFPB making a constitutional challenge to the Small Dollar Rule. On October 19, 2022, a three-judge panel of the Fifth Circuit U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the funding structure of the CFPB is unconstitutional and vacated the Small Dollar Rule. On November 14, 2022, the CFPB filed a Petition for Writ of Certiorari with the U.S. Supreme Court to review the Fifth Circuit ruling. The Supreme Court granted the Petition on February 27, 2023 but declined to expedite the proceeding. If the Small Dollar Rule does become effective in its current proposed form, we will need to make certain changes to our payment processes and customer notifications in our U.S. consumer lending business.

On March 30, 2023, the CFPB issued its final rule to implement Section 1071 of the Dodd-Frank Act. Section 1071 amended the Equal Credit Opportunity Act to require financial institutions to collect and report certain data in connection with credit applications made by small businesses, including women- or minority-owned small businesses, and applies to small business loans that we offer. For loans covered by the small business lending rule, a “covered lender” will be required to collect and report on certain information pursuant to an application for credit. Section 1071 requires covered lenders to collect and report information the financial institution generates and information obtained from the applicant, including the applicant’s minority-owned business status, women-owned business status and LGBTQI+-owned status and the applicant’s principal owners’ ethnicity, race and sex, and expressly prohibits a financial institution from discouraging an applicant from responding to requests for applicant-provided data. We anticipate that we will be required to begin collecting data on October 1, 2024 and report 2024 data by June 1, 2025.

Minnesota Commerce Omnibus Bill

In May 2023, the Governor of Minnesota signed into law a bill that caps the APR on consumer small loans and consumer short-term loans at a 50% all-in APR and expressly provides for predominant economic interest and totality of the circumstance tests for true lender purposes. The bill defines "consumer small loan" as a consumer-purpose unsecured loan equal to or less than $350 that must be repaid in a single installment. The bill defines a "consumer short-term loan" as a loan to a borrower which has a principal amount, or an advance on a credit limit, of $1,300 or less and requires a minimum payment of more than 25% of the principal balance or credit advance within 60 days. The bill requires the lender to perform an ability to pay analysis if the all-in APR on a consumer small loan or consumer short-term loan exceeds 36%. The bill also codifies a predominant economic interest test for bank service arrangements whereby a broker or servicer with a predominant economic interest in a loan is considered to be the “true lender” for purposes of applying the rate cap. The law will take effect on January 1, 2024 and applies to loans originated on or after that date.

New Mexico HB 132

On February 15, 2022, the New Mexico Legislature passed HB 132. The bill imposes a 36% rate cap on loans up to $10,000. Additionally, HB 132 provides for the application of a predominant economic interest test for bank service arrangements whereby a broker or servicer with a predominant economic interest in a loan is considered to be the “true lender” for purposes of applying the 36% rate cap. The New Mexico Governor signed the bill into law on March 1, 2022. The law took effect on January 1, 2023.

Valuation of Loans and Finance Receivables

We carry our loans and finance receivables at fair value with changes in fair value recognized directly in earnings. We estimate the fair value of our loans and finance receivables primarily using internally-developed, discounted cash flow analyses to more accurately predict future payments. We adjust contractual cash flows for estimated losses, prepayments and servicing costs over the estimated duration of the underlying assets and discount the future cash flows using a rate of return that we believe a market participant would require. Model results may be adjusted by management if we do not believe the output reflects the fair value of the portfolio, as defined under GAAP. The models are updated at each measurement date to capture any changes in internal factors such as nature, term, volume, payment trends, remaining time to maturity, and portfolio mix, as well as changes in underwriting or observed trends expected to impact future performance. We have validated model performance by comparing past valuations with actual performance noted after each valuation.

Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020, there has been substantial volatility in the financial markets, which has impacted the valuation of our loans and finance receivables. In 2022 and thus far in 2023, views in the marketplace on the economy and its near-term prospects remain mixed with concerns on employment, inflation, and other macroeconomic trends. In certain situations, management concluded that the probability of future charge-offs or prepayments was different than what we had experienced in the past and, therefore, altered those assumptions in our fair value models.

25


 

We continue to utilize this approach and have adjusted these assumptions where appropriate. From a discount rate perspective, over the course of 2022, we deemed it appropriate to increase the discount rates used in our valuation models, thereby lowering loan fair values, to be responsive to changes in the market and representative of what a market participant would use. The rates used in our models have been stable thus far in 2023. As of June 30, 2023, we deemed the resulting fair value of our loans and finance receivables to be an appropriate market-based exit price that considers current market conditions.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

In addition to the financial information prepared in conformity with GAAP, we provide historical non-GAAP financial information. We believe that presentation of non-GAAP financial information is meaningful and useful in understanding the activities and business metrics of our operations. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of our business that, when viewed with our GAAP results, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business. Readers should consider the information in addition to, but not instead of or superior to, our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. This non-GAAP financial information may be determined or calculated differently by other companies, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes.

Adjusted Earnings Measures

In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with GAAP, we have provided adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share, or, collectively, the Adjusted Earnings Measures, which are non-GAAP measures. We believe that the presentation of these measures provides investors with greater transparency and facilitates comparison of operating results across a broad spectrum of companies with varying capital structures, compensation strategies, derivative instruments and amortization methods, which provides a more complete understanding of our financial performance, competitive position and prospects for the future. We also believe that investors regularly rely on non-GAAP financial measures, such as the Adjusted Earnings Measures, to assess operating performance and that such measures may highlight trends in our business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying on financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. In addition, we believe that the adjustments shown below are useful to investors in order to allow them to compare our financial results during the periods shown without the effect of each of these income or expense items.

The following table provides reconciliations between net income and diluted earnings per share calculated in accordance with GAAP to the Adjusted Earnings Measures (in thousands, except per share data):

(b) In the second quarter of 2022, we recorded equity method investment income of $6.3 million ($3.6 million net of tax) that was comprised primarily of an $11.0 million gain generated on Linear's sale of its operating company, partially offset by a $4.4 million loss on the sale of OnDeck Canada.

(c) In the first and second quarters of 2023, we recorded other nonoperating expenses of $0.1 million ($0.1 million net of tax) in each quarter related to early extinguishment of debt. In the second quarter of 2022, we recorded other nonoperating expenses of $1.1 million ($0.8 million net of tax) related to incomplete transactions.

Adjusted EBITDA

The table below shows Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP measure that we define as earnings excluding depreciation, amortization, interest, foreign currency transaction gains or losses, taxes and stock-based compensation expense. We believe Adjusted EBITDA is used by investors to analyze operating performance and evaluate our ability to incur and service debt and our capacity for making capital expenditures. Adjusted EBITDA is also useful to investors to help assess our estimated enterprise value. In addition, we believe that the adjustments for equity method investment income and other nonoperating expenses shown below are useful to investors in order to allow them to compare our financial results during the periods shown without the effect of the income or expense items. The computation of Adjusted EBITDA, as presented below, may differ from the computation of similarly-titled measures provided by other companies (in thousands):

Combined Loans and Finance Receivables Measures

In addition to reporting loans and finance receivables balance information in accordance with GAAP (see Note 2 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report), we have provided metrics on a combined basis. The Combined Loans and Finance Receivables Measures are non-GAAP measures that include both loans and RPAs we own or have purchased and loans we guarantee, which are either GAAP items or disclosures required by GAAP. See “—Loan and Finance Receivable Balances” and “—Credit Performance of Loans and Finance Receivables” below for reconciliations between Company owned and purchased loans and finance receivables, gross, change in fair value and charge-offs (net of recoveries) calculated in accordance with GAAP to the Combined Loans and Finance Receivables Measures.

We believe these non-GAAP measures provide investors with important information needed to evaluate the magnitude of potential receivable losses and the opportunity for revenue performance of the loans and finance receivable portfolio on an aggregate basis. We also believe that the comparison of the aggregate amounts from period to period is more meaningful than comparing only the amounts reflected on our consolidated balance sheet since both revenue and cost of revenue are impacted by the aggregate amount of receivables we own and those we guarantee as reflected in our consolidated financial statements.

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2023 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2022

Revenue and Net Revenue

Revenue increased $91.4 million, or 22.4%, to $499.4 million for the current quarter as compared to $408.0 million for the prior year quarter. The increase was driven by a 27.0% increase in revenue from our small business portfolio and a 19.5% increase in revenue from our consumer portfolio as higher levels of originations have led to higher loan balances for both portfolios.

Net revenue for the current quarter was $299.4 million compared to $264.6 million for the prior year quarter. Our consolidated net revenue margin was 59.9% for the current quarter compared to 64.8% for the prior year quarter. The decrease in consolidated net revenue margin was driven primarily by normalization in our small business portfolio, which had an atypically high net revenue margin in the prior year quarter, partially offset by improved performance in our consumer portfolio.

The following table sets forth the components of revenue and net revenue, separated by product for the current quarter and the prior year quarter (in thousands):

Loan and Finance Receivable Balances

The fair value of our loan and finance receivable portfolio in our consolidated financial statements was $3,092.4 million and $2,460.9 million as of June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The outstanding principal balance of our loan and finance receivables portfolio was $2,756.9 million and $2,300.7 million as of June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The fair value of the combined loan and finance receivables portfolio includes $19.1 million and $17.9 million with an outstanding principal balance of $14.2 million and $11.9 million of consumer loan balances that are guaranteed by us but not owned by us, which are not included in our consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Our small business portfolio of loans and finance receivables increased to 61.8% of our combined loan and finance receivable portfolio at fair value as of June 30, 2023, compared to 59.4% as of June 30, 2022, due primarily to more accelerated growth in the small business portfolio. The consumer portfolio balance decreased to 38.2% of our combined loan and finance receivable portfolio balance at fair value as of June 30, 2023, compared to 40.6% as of June 30, 2022. See “—Non-GAAP Disclosure—Combined Loans and Finance Receivables Measures” above for additional information related to combined loans and finance receivables.

(a) GAAP measure. The loans and finance receivables balances guaranteed by us relate to loans originated by a third-party lender through the CSO program that we have not yet purchased and, therefore, are not included in our consolidated financial statements.

At June 30, 2023 and 2022, the ratio of fair value as a percentage of principal was 112.2% and 107.0%, respectively, on company owned loans and finance receivables and 112.3% and 107.2%, respectively, on combined loans and finance receivables. These ratios increased compared to the prior year due primarily to an improvement in delinquency rates and credit outlook on most consumer products.

Average Amount Outstanding per Loan and Finance Receivable

The average amount outstanding per loan and finance receivable is calculated as the total combined loans and finance receivables, gross balance at the end of the period divided by the total number of combined loans and finance receivables outstanding at the end of the period. The following table shows the average amount outstanding per loan and finance receivable by product at June 30, 2023 and 2022:

(b) Includes loans guaranteed by us, which represent loans originated by a third-party lender through the CSO program that we have not yet purchased and, therefore, are not included in our consolidated financial statements.

The average amount outstanding per loan and finance receivable increased slightly to $4,557 from $4,547 during the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter, due primarily to an increase in the mix of loans and finance receivables held by small businesses in our portfolio, which are larger on average than our consumer portfolio, partially offset by slightly lower average outstanding loan balances in our consumer portfolio.

Average Loan and Finance Receivable Origination

The average loan and finance receivable origination amount is calculated as the total amount of combined loans and finance receivables originated, renewed and purchased for the period divided by the total number of combined loans and finance receivables originated, renewed and purchased for the period.

(c) For line of credit accounts, the average represents the average amount of each incremental draw.

The average loan and finance receivable origination amount is smaller than the average amount outstanding per loan and finance receivable in the previous section as the former measure includes incremental draws on our line of credit accounts whereas the latter measure includes the entire outstanding receivable on our line of credit accounts.

The average loan and finance receivable origination amount decreased to $1,580 from $1,638 during the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter, due primarily to a higher percentage of line of credit draws in comparison to installment loan originations, as the former are typically lower in average dollar amount.

Credit Performance of Loans and Finance Receivables

We monitor the performance of our loans and finance receivables. Internal factors such as portfolio composition (e.g., interest rate, loan term, geography information, customer mix, credit quality) and performance (e.g., delinquency, loss trends, prepayment rates) are reviewed on a regular basis at various levels (e.g., product, vintage). We also weigh the impact of relevant, internal business decisions on the portfolio. External factors such as macroeconomic trends, financial market liquidity expectations, competitive landscape and legal/regulatory requirements are also reviewed on a regular basis.

The payment status of a customer, including the degree of any delinquency, is a significant factor in determining estimated charge-offs in the cash flow models that we use to determine fair value. The following table shows payment status on outstanding principal, interest and fees as of the end of each of the last five quarters (in thousands):

The ending balance, including principal and accrued fees/interest outstanding, of combined consumer loans and finance receivables at June 30, 2023 increased 6.6% to $1,085.7 million compared to $1,018.8 million at June 30, 2022, due primarily to originations outpacing repayments.

The percentage of loans greater than 30 days delinquent decreased to 6.8% at June 30, 2023 from 7.1% at June 30, 2022. Charge-offs (net of recoveries) as a percentage of average combined loan balance decreased to 12.7% for the current quarter, compared to 13.7% for the prior year quarter due to stronger credit performance of the portfolio. Demand for our consumer loan products and services in the United States has historically been highest in the third and fourth quarters of each year, corresponding to the holiday season, and lowest in the first quarter of each year, corresponding to our customers’ receipt of income tax refunds. Lower originations, particularly to new customers, which typically default at a higher percentage than returning customers, generally result in lower delinquencies and charge-offs as the book is more seasoned.

31


 

Revenue related to our consumer loans and finance receivables was $302.3 million for the current quarter, compared to $253.0 million for the prior year quarter. The increase in revenue was driven primarily by growth in the overall portfolio. The net revenue margin related to our consumer loans and finance receivables was 61.6% for the current quarter, compared to 47.4% for the prior year quarter. The increase in net revenue margin was driven primarily by improvements in credit performance, including charge-offs and delinquencies.

The ratio of fair value as a percentage of principal on consumer loans and finance receivables was 119.0% at June 30, 2023, compared to 106.2% at June 30, 2022 and 117.2% at March 31, 2023. The increase from March 31, 2023 was primarily driven by improvement in delinquencies in the current quarter.

(a) Determined using period-end balances.

(b) The average loan and finance receivable balance is the average of the month-end balances during the period.

The ending balance, including principal and accrued fees/interest outstanding, of small business loans and finance receivables at June 30, 2023 increased 30.3% to $1,788.8 million compared to $1,372.7 million at June 30, 2022, due primarily to originations outpacing repayments.

The percentage of loans greater than 30 days delinquent was 8.3% at June 30, 2023, compared to 3.6% at June 30, 2022. Charge-offs (net of recoveries) as a percentage of average loan balance increased to 4.7% for the current quarter, compared to 2.2% in the prior year quarter. When compared to the pre-COVID-19 period, the credit performance of our small business portfolio was stronger in 2021 and into 2022 as the portfolio was more seasoned due to reductions in originations in response to the pandemic. Delinquency and charge-offs have since increased to more normal levels due to the acceleration in originations and macroeconomic pressures on our customers and their businesses.

32


 

Revenue related to our small business loans and finance receivables was $190.5 million for the current quarter, compared to $149.9 million for the prior year quarter. The increase in revenue was driven primarily by growth in the overall portfolio. The net revenue margin related to our small business loans and finance receivables was 56.9% for the current quarter, compared to 94.2% for the prior year quarter. The net revenue margin in the prior year quarter was elevated due to lower delinquency rates and lower than expected charge-offs as a result of portfolio seasoning and lower originations. The net revenue margin in the current quarter was more consistent with historical levels as credit performance has returned to more normalized levels.

The ratio of fair value as a percentage of principal on small business loans and finance receivables was 108.5% at June 30, 2023, compared to 107.9% at June 30, 2022 and 108.3% at March 31, 2023. This ratio has been fairly stable across the quarters presented in the previous table.

Total Operating Expenses

Total expenses increased $12.7 million, or 7.3%, to $187.8 million in the current quarter, compared to $175.1 million in the prior year quarter.

Marketing expense increased to $96.0 million in the current quarter compared to $91.5 million in the prior year quarter due primarily to higher online advertising costs intended to capture increasing market demand for both our consumer and small business loan products.

Operations and technology expense increased to $47.0 million in the current quarter compared to $42.3 million in the prior year quarter, due primarily to higher variable costs, particularly personnel and underwriting, due to the increase in originations and the size of the loan portfolio. As a percentage of revenue, operations and technology expense decreased to 9.4% in the current year quarter from 10.4% in the prior year quarter, as increased originations and revenues outpaced fixed costs.

General and administrative expense increased to $36.2 million in the current quarter compared to $33.7 million in the prior year quarter, due largely to higher personnel costs. As a percentage of revenue, general and administrative expense decreased to 7.3% in the current year quarter from 8.2% in the prior year quarter, as increased originations and revenues outpaced fixed costs.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $1.0 million or 13.8% compared to the prior year quarter driven primarily by general growth in the business and additional internally-developed software placed into service.

Nonoperating Items

Interest expense, net increased $20.7 million, or 82.7%, to $45.6 million in the current quarter compared to $24.9 million in the prior year quarter. The increase was due primarily to an increase in the average amount of debt outstanding, which increased $499.0 million to $2,268.4 million during the current quarter from $1,769.4 million during the prior year quarter, and an increase in the weighted average interest rate on our outstanding debt to 8.16% during the current quarter from 5.77% during the prior year quarter resulting from year-over-year increases in benchmark rates.

Equity method investment loss was $1.1 million in the current quarter compared to equity method investment income of $6.3 million in the prior year quarter. In the prior year quarter, Linear sold its operating company, resulting in a gain of $11.0 million, which was partially offset by a $4.4 million loss on the sale of OnDeck Canada.

Provision for Income Taxes

The effective tax rate of 25.7% in the current quarter was higher than the 24.9% rate recorded in the prior year quarter due primarily to additional interest expense on uncertain tax positions, partially offset by larger excess tax benefits on stock compensation due to stock price appreciation.

As of June 30, 2023, the balance of unrecognized tax benefits was $110.7 million, which is included in “Accounts payable and accrued expenses” on the consolidated balance sheet, $13.6 million of which, if recognized, would favorably affect the effective tax rate in the period of recognition. We had $64.7 million and $87.7 million of unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Based on the expiration of the statute of limitations for certain jurisdictions, the Company believes it is reasonably possible that, within the next twelve months, unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by approximately $3.1 million. We believe that we have adequately accounted for any material tax uncertainties in our existing reserves for all open tax years.

Our U.S. tax returns are subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities. The statute of limitations related to our consolidated Federal income tax returns is closed for all tax years up to and including 2018. However, the 2014 tax year is still open to the extent of the net operating loss that was carried back from the 2019 tax return. The years open to examination by state, local and foreign government authorities vary by jurisdiction, but the statute of limitation is generally three years from the date the tax return is filed.

33


 

For jurisdictions that have generated net operating losses, carryovers may be subject to the statute of limitations applicable for the year those carryovers are utilized. In these cases, the period for which the losses may be adjusted will extend to conform with the statute of limitations for the year in which the losses are utilized. In most circumstances, this is expected to increase the length of time that the applicable taxing authority may examine the carryovers by one year or longer, in limited cases.

Net Income

Net income decreased $4.3 million, or 8.1%, to $48.1 million during the current quarter compared to $52.4 million during the prior year quarter. The decrease was due primarily to higher interest expense as a result of an increase in the average amount of debt outstanding and an increase in the weighted average interest rate on our outstanding debt. The increase in interest expense was partially offset by an increase in income from operations due primarily to increased net revenue and lower operating expenses as a percentage of revenue.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2023 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2022

Revenue and Net Revenue

Revenue increased $189.0 million, or 23.8%, to $982.7 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, or current six-month period, as compared to $793.7 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, or prior year six-month period. The increase was driven by a 36.3% increase in revenue from our small business portfolio and a 16.3% increase in revenue from our consumer portfolio as higher levels of originations have led to higher loan balances for both portfolios.

Net revenue for the current six-month period was $585.3 million compared to $533.2 million for the prior year six-month period. Our consolidated net revenue margin was 59.6% for the current six-month period compared to 67.2% for the prior year six-month period. The net revenue margin in the prior year six-month period was elevated due primarily to lower delinquency rates and lower than expected charge-offs as a result of portfolio seasoning and lower originations. With originations having increased, the net revenue margin in the current six-month period was in a more normalized range.

The following table sets forth the components of revenue and net revenue, separated by product for the current six-month period and the prior year six-month period (in thousands):

Average Loan and Finance Receivable Origination

The average loan and finance receivable origination amount is calculated as the total amount of combined loans and finance receivables originated, renewed and purchased for the period divided by the total number of combined loans and finance receivables originated, renewed and purchased for the period. The following table shows the average loan and finance receivable origination amount by product for the current six-month period compared to the prior year six-month period:

(a) The disclosure regarding the average loan origination amount is statistical data that is not included in our consolidated financial statements.

(b) Includes loans guaranteed by us, which represent loans originated by third-party lenders through the CSO program that we have not yet purchased and, therefore, are not included in our consolidated financial statements.

(c) Represents the average amount of each incremental draw on line of credit accounts.

The average loan origination amount increased to $1,722 from $1,661 during the current six-month period compared to the prior year six-month period, due primarily to a higher mix of loans and finance receivables issued to small businesses, which are larger on average than our consumer portfolio.

Total Expenses

Total expenses increased $11.4 million, or 3.2%, to $364.4 million in the current six-month period, compared to $353.0 million in the prior year six-month period.

Marketing expense decreased to $175.7 million in the current six-month period compared to $184.7 million in the prior year six-month period. The decrease was due primarily to lower originations in our consumer portfolio as well as higher non-commissionable renewals in our small business portfolio.

Operations and technology expense increased to $96.1 million in the current six-month period compared to $83.0 million in the prior year six-month period, due primarily to higher variable costs, particularly personnel and underwriting, due to the increase in originations and the size of the loan portfolio. As a percentage of revenue, operations and technology expense decreased to 9.8% in the current six-month period from 10.5% in the prior year six-month period, as increased originations and revenues outpaced fixed costs.

General and administrative expense increased $5.2 million, or 7.6%, to $73.4 million in the current six-month period compared to $68.2 million in the prior year six-month period, due primarily to higher personnel costs. As a percentage of revenue, general and administrative expense decreased to 7.5% in the current six-month period from 8.6% in the prior year six-month period, as increased originations and revenues outpaced fixed costs.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $2.1 million or 12.1% compared to the prior year six-month period driven primarily by $1.7 million in impairment charges recorded in the current six-month period on leasehold improvement assets related to surrendered office space that have no future utility.

Nonoperating Items

Interest expense, net increased $41.5 million, or 87.4%, to $88.9 million in the current six-month period compared to $47.4 million in the prior year six-month period. The increase was due primarily to an increase of $607.4 million in the average amount of debt outstanding to $2,274.1 million during the current six-month period from $1,666.7 million during the prior year six-month period, and an increase in the weighted average interest rate on our outstanding debt to 8.00% during the current six-month period from 5.84% during the prior year six-month period.

Equity method investment loss was $1.1 million in the current six-month period compared to equity method investment income of $6.7 million in the prior year six-month period. In the prior year six-month period, Linear sold its operating company, resulting in a gain of $11.0 million, which was partially offset by a $4.4 million loss on the sale of OnDeck Canada.

Provision for Income Taxes

The effective tax rate of 24.0% in the current six-month period was flat compared to the effective tax rate of 24.1% in the prior year six-month period. The slight decrease is primarily attributable to larger excess tax benefits on stock compensation due to stock price appreciation coupled with a beneficial rate change on the measurement of the net deferred tax liability, partially offset by additional interest expense on unrecognized tax benefits.

Net Income

Net income decreased $5.7 million, or 5.5%, to $99.1 million during the current six-month period compared to $104.8 million during the prior year six-month period. The decrease was due primarily to higher interest expense as a result of an increase in the average amount of debt outstanding and an increase in the weighted average interest rate on our outstanding debt. The increase in interest expense was partially offset by an increase in income from operations due primarily to increased net revenue and lower operating expenses as a percentage of revenue.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Capital Funding Strategy

We seek to maintain a stable and flexible balance sheet to ensure that liquidity and funding are available to meet our business obligations. As of June 30, 2023, we had cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash of $261.7 million, of which $161.6 million was restricted, compared to $178.4 million, of which $78.2 million was restricted, as of December 31, 2022. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we issued $170.0 million of asset-backed notes to fund our growth in our near-prime consumer loan business and entered into a new $287.2 million small business loan securitization facility. As of June 30, 2023, we had funding capacity of $840.1 million. Based on numerous stressed-case modeling scenarios, we believe we have sufficient liquidity to run our operations for the foreseeable future. Further, we have no recourse debt obligations due until September 2024. As part of our capital and liquidity management, we may from time to time acquire our outstanding debt securities, including through redemptions, tender offers, open market purchases, negotiated transactions or otherwise, in accordance with applicable securities laws and in compliance with the indentures governing our outstanding debt securities, upon such terms and at such prices as we may determine.

Historically, we have generated significant cash flow through normal operating activities for funding both long-term and short-term needs. Our near-term liquidity is managed to ensure that adequate resources are available to fund our seasonal working capital growth, which is driven by demand for our loan and financing products. On September 1, 2017, we issued and sold $250.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 8.50% Senior Notes due 2024 (the “2024 Senior Notes”) and used the net proceeds, in part, to retire $155.0 million in existing indebtedness. On September 19, 2018, we issued and sold $375.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 8.50% Senior Notes due 2025 (the “2025 Senior Notes”) and used the net proceeds, in part, to retire existing indebtedness.

On June 30, 2017, we entered into a secured revolving credit agreement (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”). On June 23, 2022, we entered into an amendment and restatement of our Credit Agreement that, among other things, increased the borrowing capacity to $440.0 million, with a $20.0 million letter of credit sublimit and $10.0 million swingline loan sublimit. The Credit Agreement bears interest, at our option, at the base rate plus 0.75% or the Secured Overnight Financing Rate plus 3.50%. In addition to customary fees for a credit facility of this size and type, the Credit Agreement provides for payment of a commitment fee calculated with respect to the unused portion of the commitment, and ranges from 0.15% per annum to 0.50% per annum depending on usage. The Credit Agreement contains certain prepayment penalties if it is terminated on or before the first and second anniversary dates, subject to certain exceptions. The Credit Agreement matures on June 30, 2026. As of July 26, 2023, our available borrowings under the Credit Agreement were $173.3 million. Since 2016, we have entered into several loan securitization facilities and offered asset-backed notes to fund our growth, primarily in our near-prime consumer installment loan and small business loan businesses. As of July 26, 2023, we had funding capacity of $640.9 million. We expect that our operating needs, including satisfying our obligations under our debt agreements and funding our working capital growth, will be satisfied by a combination of cash flows from operations, borrowings under the Credit Agreement, or any refinancing, replacement thereof or increase in borrowings thereunder, and securitization or sale of loans and finance receivables under our consumer and small business loan securitization facilities.

As of June 30, 2023, we were in compliance with all financial ratios, covenants and other requirements set forth in our debt agreements. Unexpected changes in our financial condition or other unforeseen factors may result in our inability to obtain third-party financing or could increase our borrowing costs in the future. To the extent we experience short-term or long-term funding disruptions, we have the ability to adjust our volume of lending and financing to consumers and small businesses that would reduce cash outflow requirements while increasing cash inflows through repayments. Additional alternatives may include the securitization or sale of assets, increased borrowings under the Credit Agreement, or any refinancing or replacement thereof, and reductions in capital spending, which could be expected to generate additional liquidity.

Capital

Total stockholders’ equity increased by $63.2 million to $1,249.3 million at June 30, 2023 from $1,186.1 million at December 31, 2022. The increase of stockholders’ equity was driven primarily by net income for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and, to a lesser extent, stock-based compensation expense, partially offset by repurchases of our outstanding common stock. Our book value per share outstanding increased to $40.47 at June 30, 2023 from $37.99 at December 31, 2022, which was primarily driven by net income during the current year, partially offset by the increase in treasury stock as a result of share repurchases, which is discussed in more detail below.

On February 9, 2022, we announced the Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program totaling $100.0 million through June 30, 2023 (the “February 2022 Authorization”). On November 7, 2022, we announced the Board of Directors authorized an increase to our share repurchase program of up to $150.0 million through December 31, 2023 (the “November 2022 Authorization”). The November 2022 Authorization went into effect in March 2023 upon exhaustion of the February 2022 Authorization. Repurchases under our repurchase program will be made in accordance with applicable securities laws from time to time in the open market, through privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. The share repurchase program does not obligate us to purchase any shares of our common stock. The authorization for the share repurchase program may be terminated, increased or decreased by the Board of Directors in its discretion at any time. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we had $44.5 million in repurchases of common stock under our share repurchase program.

Cash

Our cash and cash equivalents are held primarily for working capital purposes and are used to fund a portion of our lending activities. From time to time, we use excess cash and cash equivalents to fund our lending activities. We do not enter into investments for trading or speculative purposes. Our policy is to invest cash in excess of our immediate working capital requirements in short-term investments, deposit accounts or other arrangements designed to preserve the principal balance and maintain adequate liquidity. Our excess cash may be invested primarily in overnight sweep accounts, money market instruments or similar arrangements that provide competitive returns consistent with our polices and market conditions.

Our restricted cash primarily consists of funds held in accounts as reserves on certain debt facilities and as collateral for issuing bank partner transactions. We have no ability to draw on such funds as long as they remain restricted under the applicable arrangements but have the ability to use these funds to finance loan originations, subject to meeting borrowing base requirements. Our policy is to invest restricted cash held in debt facility related accounts, to the extent permitted by such debt facility, in investments designed to preserve the principal balance and provide liquidity. Accordingly, such cash is invested primarily in money market instruments that offer daily purchase and redemption and provide competitive returns consistent with our policies and market conditions.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $189.2 million, or 48.2%, to $581.3 million in the current six-month period from $392.2 million for the prior year six-month period. The increase was driven primarily by additional interest and fee income from growth in the loan portfolio.

We believe cash flows from operations and available cash balances and borrowings under our loan securitization facilities and Credit Agreement, which may include increased borrowings under our Credit Agreement, any refinancing or replacement thereof, and additional securitization of loans, will be sufficient to fund our future operating liquidity needs, including to fund our working capital growth.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $483.5 million for the current six-month period compared to $751.3 million for the prior year six-month period. This change was due primarily to loan originations outpacing repayments by a wider margin in the prior year six-month period compared to the current six-month period.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Cash flows used in financing activities for the current six-month period were driven primarily by $69.5 million in repayments of our 2024 Senior Notes, $50.1 million in share repurchases and $43.0 million in net payments under our revolving line of credit, partially offset by $150.1 million in net borrowings under our securitization facilities. Cash flows provided by financing activities for the prior year six-month period were driven primarily by $385.7 million and $69.0 million in net borrowings under our securitization and revolving line of credit facilities, respectively, partially offset by $104.4 million in share repurchases.

(a) Includes shares withheld from employees as tax payments for shares issued under the Company’s stock-based compensation plans of 7,313 for the month of May. These shares were not acquired pursuant to a publicly announced repurchase plan.

(b) The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, which was enacted into law on August 16, 2022, imposed a nondeductible 1% excise tax on the net value of certain stock repurchases made after December 31, 2022. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company reflected the applicable excise tax in treasury stock as part of the cost basis of the stock repurchased and recorded a corresponding liability for the excise taxes payable in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheet. All dollar amounts presented exclude such excise taxes.

(c) On February 9, 2022, the Company announced the Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program totaling $100.0 million through June 30, 2023 (the “February 2022 Authorization”). On November 7, 2022, the Company announced the Board of Directors authorized an increase to its share repurchase program of up to $150.0 million through December 31, 2023 (the “November 2022 Authorization”). The November 2022 Authorization went into effect in March 2023 upon exhaustion of the February 2022 Authorization. All share repurchases made under these repurchase authorizations have been through open market transactions. Our share repurchase program is subject to market conditions, do not obligate us to purchase any shares of our common stock, and may be terminated, increased or decreased by the Board of Directors in its discretion at any time.

We do not plan to declare cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any declaration of dividends is at the discretion of our Board of Directors. Our agreements governing our existing debt contain restrictions which limit our ability to pay dividends.

Authorized Shares.

 

(1)
Classes of Stock. The total number of shares of stock that the Corporation shall have authority to issue is 275,000,000 shares, consisting of 250,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share ("Common Stock"), and 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.00001 per share ("Preferred Stock").

 

(2)
Preferred Stock. The Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time and in one or more classes or series. The Board of Directors is hereby empowered, without any action or vote by the Corporation's stockholders, to authorize by resolution or resolutions, and by filing of a Certificate of Designations pursuant to the requirements of Delaware Law, from time to time the issuance of one or more classes or series of Preferred Stock and to fix the designations, powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other rights, if any, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, if any, with respect to each such class or series of Preferred Stock and the number of shares constituting each such class or series, and to increase or decrease the number of shares of any such class or series to the extent permitted by Delaware Law. In the event that the number of shares of any class or series of Preferred Stock shall be so decreased, the shares constituting such decrease shall resume the status which such shares had prior to the adoption of the resolution originally fixing the number of shares of such class or series of Preferred Stock, subject to the requirements of Delaware Law.

 

(B)
Voting Rights. Each holder of Common Stock, as such, shall be entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock held of record by such holder on all matters on which stockholders generally are entitled to vote; provided, however, that, except as otherwise required by Delaware Law, holders of Common Stock, as such, shall not be entitled to vote on any amendment to this Certificate of Incorporation (including any Certificate of Designations relating to any class or series of Preferred Stock) that relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding class or series of Preferred Stock if the holders of such affected class or series are entitled, either separately or together with the holders of one or more other such class or series of Preferred Stock, to vote thereon pursuant to this Certificate of Incorporation (including any Certificate of Designations relating to any class or series of Preferred Stock) or pursuant to Delaware Law.

 

ARTICLE V BYLAWS

 

In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred by statute, the Board of Directors shall have the power to adopt, amend or repeal the bylaws of the Corporation, without any action on the part of the stockholders. The stockholders may adopt, amend or repeal the bylaws of the Corporation only with the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than eighty percent (80%) of the total voting power of all outstanding securities of the Corporation then entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class.

ARTICLE VI BOARD OF DIRECTORS

 

(A)
Power of the Board of Directors. The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board of Directors.

 

(B)
Number of Directors. The number of directors which shall constitute the entire Board of Directors shall be fixed exclusively by resolution adopted from time to time by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Board of Directors.

 

(C)
Voting. There shall be no cumulative voting in the election of directors. Election of directors need not be by written ballot unless the bylaws of the Corporation so provide.

Vacancies. Vacancies on the Board of Directors resulting from death, resignation, removal or otherwise and newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the number of directors shall, except as otherwise provided by Delaware Law or any Certificate of Designations, be filled solely by a majority of the directors then in office (although less than a quorum) or by the sole remaining director.

 

(E)
Preferred Stock Directors. Notwithstanding anything else contained herein, whenever the holders of one or more classes or series of Preferred Stock shall have the right, voting separately as a class or series, to elect directors, the election, term of office, filling of vacancies, removal and other features of such directorships shall be governed by the terms of the resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors pursuant to Article IV applicable thereto and by the applicable Certificate of Designations, and such directors so elected shall not be subject to the provisions of this Article VI unless otherwise provided therein.

 

ARTICLE VII EXISTENCE

 

The Corporation shall have perpetual existence.

 

ARTICLE VIII

LIMITATION ON LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION

 

(A)
Elimination of Liability. A director of the Corporation shall not be liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware Law.

 

(B)
Right to Indemnification.

 

1.
Each person (and the heirs, executors or administrators of such person) who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to, or is involved in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or while serving as a director or officer of the Corporation is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware Law.

 

3


 

The right to indemnification conferred in this Article VIII shall also include the right to be paid by the Corporation all of the costs, fees and the expenses incurred in connection with any such action, suit or proceeding in advance of its final disposition to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware Law. The termination of any such action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that such person is not entitled to indemnification hereunder. To the fullest extent permitted by Delaware Law, any present or former director or officer of the Corporation who brings a claim against the Corporation to enforce such person's rights under this Article VIII shall be entitled to the advancement of expenses and, to the extent successful, indemnification by the Corporation in connection with the prosecution of such claim. The right to indemnification and advancement conferred in this Article VIII shall be a contract right.

 

2.
The Corporation may, by action of its Board of Directors, provide indemnification to such of the employees and agents of the Corporation to such extent and to such effect as the Board of Directors shall determine to be appropriate and authorized by Delaware Law.

 

(C)
Insurance. The Corporation shall have the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss incurred by such person in any such capacity or arising out of such person's status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under Delaware Law.

 

(D)
Nonexclusivity of Rights. The rights and authority conferred in this Article VIII shall not be exclusive of any other right to advancement or indemnification that any person may otherwise have or hereafter acquire.

 

(E)
Preservation of Rights. Neither the amendment nor repeal of this Article VIII, nor the adoption of any provision of this Certificate of Incorporation or the bylaws of the Corporation, nor, to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware Law, any modification of law, shall adversely affect any right or protection of any person granted pursuant hereto existing at, or arising out of or related to any event, act or omission that occurred prior to, the time of such amendment, repeal, adoption or modification (regardless of when any proceeding (or part thereof) relating to such event, act or omission arises or is first threatened, commenced or completed). The rights conferred in this Article VIII still continue as to any person who has ceased to be a director or officer of the Corporation.

 

ARTICLE IX

MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS

 

(A)
Annual Meetings. The annual meeting of stockholders for the election of directors to succeed those whose terms expire and for the transaction of such other business as may properly come before the meeting shall be held at such place, on such date, and at such time as the Board of Directors shall fix.

 

 

4


 

(B)
Special Meetings. Special meetings of the stockholders may be called by a majority of the Board of Directors, the Chairman of the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer, the President or the Secretary of the Corporation and may not be called by any other person.

 

(C)
No Actions by Written Consent. Subject to the rights of the holders of any class or series of Preferred Stock then outstanding, as may be set forth in the Certificate of Designations relating to such Preferred Stock, any action required or permitted to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders may be taken only upon the vote of stockholders at an annual or special meeting duly noticed and called in accordance with Delaware Law and this Article IX and may not be taken by written consent of stockholders without a meeting.

 

ARTICLE X FORUM SELECTION

 

Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of a different forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for: (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Corporation;

(ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee of the Corporation to the Corporation or the Corporation's stockholders; (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of Delaware Law, this Certificate of Incorporation or the bylaws of the Corporation (as the same may be amended from time to time); or (iv) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine, except as to each of (i) through

(iv) above, for any claim (A) as to which the Court of Chancery determines that there is an indispensable party not subject to the jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery (and the indispensable party does not consent to the personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery within ten days following such determination), (B) which is vested in the exclusive jurisdiction of a court or forum other than the Court of Chancery, or (C) for which the Court of Chancery does not have subject matter jurisdiction; provided, that, if and only if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware dismisses any such action for lack of jurisdiction, such action may be brought in another state court sitting in the State of Delaware or, if no state court located within the State of Delaware has jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware. If any provision or provisions of this Article X shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable as applied to any person or entity or circumstance for any reason whatsoever, then, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the validity, legality and enforceability of such provisions in any other circumstance and of the remaining provisions of this Article X (including, without limitation, each portion of any sentence of this Article X containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable that is not itself held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) and the application of such provision to other persons or entities and circumstances shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of capital stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the provisions of this Article X.

 

ARTICLE XI

CERTAIN CONTRACTS AND TRANSACTIONS

 

No contract or other transaction between the Corporation and any other corporation shall be affected or invalidated by the fact that one or more of the directors of the Corporation is or are interested in, or is a director or officer of, or are directors or officers of, such other corporation, and no contract or other transaction between the Corporation and any other person or firm shall be affected or invalidated by the fact that one or more of the directors of the Corporation is a party to, or are parties to, or interested in, such contract or transaction; provided, that in each such case the nature and extent of the interest of such director in the contract or other transaction and the fact that such director is a director or officer of such other corporation is known to the Board of Directors or is disclosed at the meeting of the Board of Directors or a committee thereof at which the contract or other transaction is authorized.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions set forth in Articles IV(B), V, VI, VIII, IX, X and this Article XII may not be repealed or amended in any respect, and no other provision may be adopted, amended or repealed which would be inconsistent with or have the effect of modifying or permitting the circumvention of the provisions set forth in Articles IV(B), V, VI, VIII, IX, X and this Article XII, unless such action is approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than eighty percent (80%) of the total voting power of all outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation then entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class.

- 50 -


 

(a) The Class A Revolving Loans shall accrue interest daily at the Class A Interest Rate. The Class B Revolving Loans shall accrue interest daily at the Class B Interest Rate.

(b) Interest computed by reference to Daily Simple SOFR hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days. Interest computed by reference to the Base Rate at times when the Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year). In each case interest shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). All interest hereunder on any Revolving Loan shall be computed on a daily basis based upon the outstanding principal amount of such Revolving Loan as of the applicable date of determination. The applicable Base Rate, Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR or Daily Simple SOFR shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error. In computing interest on any Revolving Loan, the date of the making of such Revolving Loan or the first day of an Interest Period applicable to such Revolving Loan shall be included, and the date of payment of such Revolving Loan or the expiration date of an Interest Period applicable to such Revolving Loan shall be excluded; provided, if a Revolving Loan is repaid on the same day on which it is made, one (1) day’s interest shall be paid on that Revolving Loan. The Administrative Agent shall provide an invoice of the interest, Class A Unused Fee and Class B Unused Fee (calculated by the Administrative Agent) accrued and to accrue to each Interest Payment Date on Revolving Loans not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Interest Rate Determination Date immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date.

(c) Except as otherwise set forth herein, interest on each Revolving Loan shall be payable in arrears (i) on each Interest Payment Date; (ii) upon the request, which shall apply with respect to all Lenders, of the Administrative Agent or a Class B Lender (unless such prepayment results in a permanent reduction of the Revolving Commitments), upon any prepayment of that Revolving Loan, whether voluntary or mandatory, to the extent accrued on the amount being prepaid; and (iii) at maturity.

2.6 Releases.

(a) The Company shall have the right to optionally prepay Revolving Loans in whole at any time and in part at any time so long as no Default, Early Amortization Event or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or will result therefrom. In connection with any such prepayment or a Permitted Asset Sale, the Company may request a Release in connection therewith at any time but only in connection with a Whole Loan Sale, Securitization Transaction or a Permitted Asset Sale, in each case subject to the terms of this Section 2.6. The Company may request a Release on any Business Day (a “Release Date”) by delivering to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent by not later than 3:00 p.m. New York City time at least two (2) Business Days prior to the requested Release Date, written notice substantially in the form of Exhibit I (a “Release Notice”) (which Release Notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly make available to the Lenders in accordance with its customary practice). In connection with (A) any prepayment, or (B) any Release made in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.6, the Company may elect to reduce the Revolving Commitments, pro rata based on each Lender’s Pro Rata Share (each such election, a “Commitment Reduction” and each such amount, a “Commitment Reduction Amount”) and such Commitment Reduction shall be effective upon the date of such prepayment or the related Release on the Release Date, as applicable.

- 51 -


 

Each Release Notice shall be irrevocable and effective upon receipt; provided further that if such Release Notice is delivered more than two Business Days prior to the requested Release Date, it shall be revocable, without penalty, through the close of business on the Business Day preceding such second prior Business Day. By not later than 3:00 p.m. New York City time at least one Business Day prior to the requested Release Date, the Company shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, a written notice substantially in the form of Exhibit J (a “Release Letter”) (which document the Administrative Agent shall promptly make available to the Lenders in accordance with its customary practice), confirming the Release Date and setting forth certain information related to the distribution of funds on such Release Date and, if applicable, the Release of certain Receivables. Company will select no less than a pro rata share (by Outstanding Principal Balance) of Delinquent Receivables for any such Release.

(b) Required Information. Each Release Notice shall: (i) be executed by the Company; (ii) set forth the Revolving Loans to be prepaid, all accrued interest on the Revolving Loans and all accrued Class A Unused Fees and Class B Unused Fees, as applicable, and itemize any additional amounts payable (including the applicable Prepayment Fee, if any) on the applicable Release Date; (iii) in the event of any partial prepayment, set forth the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loans immediately before and immediately after giving effect to any applicable prepayment; (iv) (A) identify any Pledged Receivables subject to such Release, identify the Pledged Receivables that will remain after giving effect to any such Release and certify as to which of such remaining Pledged Receivables will be Eligible Receivables on such Release Date, (B) certify that, other than with respect to a prepayment in full, no Default, Early Amortization Event or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or result therefrom, and (C) certify that the conditions precedent to such Release set forth in this Section 2.6 have been satisfied and (v) in the event of a partial Release, attach a Borrowing Base Certificate.

(c) Pro Forma Calculations. The Borrowing Base Certificate required to be delivered with any Release Notice shall be dated and current as of the close of business on the date preceding the delivery date for such Release Notice set forth above and shall show pro forma calculations of the Reserve Account Funding Requirement, the Class A Borrowing Base and Class B Borrowing Base as of the applicable Release Date (after giving effect to any Release on such date).

(d) Prepayment. On each Release Date, by 1:00 p.m. New York City time, the Company shall remit funds to the Class A Lender or the Class B Lender, as applicable, in the amount of the prepayment set forth in the Release Letter and the amount of any Borrowing Base Deficiency (as determined after giving effect to any Release, prepayment and any other distributions on such date). Each prepayment shall be made proportionately based on the outstanding Class A Revolving Loans and the outstanding Class B Revolving Loans.

(e) Release of Collateral. On each Release Date, subject to the conditions precedent set forth in this Section 2.6 and upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of the amount required to be remitted by the Company on such date pursuant to Section 2.6(d), the portion of the Receivables identified for Release by the Company shall be automatically released from the Lien of the Collateral Agent and such Receivables shall no longer be “Pledged Receivables” or included in any Class A Borrowing Base or Class B Borrowing Base calculation hereunder and shall not be required to be included in any certificate or report required to be delivered hereunder. The

- 52 -


 

Collateral Agent, at the expense and request of the Company, shall take (or authorize the Company, the Servicer or their respective designees to take) such actions as are reasonably necessary and appropriate to release the Lien of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, on such Receivables and to turn over or direct the Custodian to turn over, as applicable, to the Company or its designee any Receivable File with respect to such Receivables that are in the possession or control of the Collateral Agent or the Custodian, as applicable; provided, a copy thereof may be retained by the Collateral Agent and the Custodian in accordance with its customary document retention policies.

2.11 Controlled Accounts.

(a) Company shall establish and maintain cash management systems reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, including, without limitation, with respect to blocked account arrangements. Other than a segregated, non-interest bearing, trust account (in the name of Company designated as the “Funding Account”) maintained at the Paying Agent into which proceeds of Revolving Loans may be funded at the direction of Company, Company shall not establish or maintain a Deposit Account or Securities Account other than a Controlled Account and Company shall not, and shall cause Servicer not to deposit Collections or proceeds thereof in a Securities Account or Deposit Account which is not a Controlled Account (provided, that, inadvertent and non-reoccurring errors by Servicer in applying such Collections or proceeds that are promptly, and in any event within two (2) Business Days after Servicer or Company has (or should have had in the exercise of reasonable diligence) knowledge thereof, cured shall not be considered a breach of this covenant). All Collections and proceeds of Collateral shall be subject to an express trust for the benefit of Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties and shall be delivered to the Secured Parties for application to the Obligations or any other amount due under any other Credit Document as set forth in this Agreement.

(b) On or prior to the Closing Date, Company shall cause to be established and maintained, (i) a segregated, non-interest bearing, trust account (or sub-accounts) in the name of Company and under the sole dominion and control of, the Collateral Agent designated as the “Collection Account” in each case bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds and other property credited thereto are held for Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties and subject to the applicable Securities Account Control Agreement, (ii) a segregated, non-interest bearing, Deposit Account into which the proceeds of all Pledged Receivables, including by automatic debit from Receivables Obligors’ operating accounts, shall be deposited in the name of Company designated as the “Lockbox Account” as to which the Collateral Agent has sole dominion and control over such account for the benefit of the Secured Parties within the meaning of Section 9-104(a)(2) of the UCC pursuant to the Lockbox Account Control Agreement and (iii) the Funding Account. The Lockbox Account Control Agreement will provide that all funds (less an amount of up to $10,000 or such other amount as shall be mutually agreed in writing (which writing may be via electronic mail) between the Administrative Agent and the Company) in the Lockbox Account will be swept daily into the Collection Account.

(ii) Company shall have identified a method reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent to grant Backup Servicer (and its delegates) access to the Lockbox Account when the Backup Servicer has become the Successor Servicer in accordance with the Credit Documents, for purposes of initiating ACH transfers from Receivables Obligors’ operating accounts after the Closing Date.

(iii) Company shall not establish any lockbox or lockbox arrangement without the consent of the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, and prior to establishing any such lockbox or lockbox arrangement, Company shall cause each bank or financial institution with which it seeks to establish such a lockbox or lockbox arrangement, to enter into a control agreement with respect thereto in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion.

(iv) Without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, Company shall not (A) change the general instructions given to the Servicer in respect of payments on account of Pledged Receivables to be deposited in the Lockbox System or (B) change any instructions given to any bank or financial institution which in any manner redirects any Collections or proceeds thereof in the Lockbox System to any account which is not a Controlled Account.

(v) Company acknowledges and agrees that (A) the funds on deposit in the Lockbox System shall continue to be collateral security for the Obligations secured thereby, and (B) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or Early Amortization Event, at the election of the Requisite Lenders, the funds on deposit in the Lockbox System may be applied as provided in Section 2.12(b).

(vi) Company has directed, and will at all times hereafter direct, the Servicer to direct payment from each of the Receivables Obligors on account of Pledged Receivables directly to the Lockbox System. Company agrees (A) to instruct the Servicer to instruct each Receivables Obligor to make all payments with respect to Pledged Receivables directly to the Lockbox System and (B) promptly (and, except as set forth in the proviso to this Section 2.11(c)(vi), in no event later than two (2) Business Days following receipt) to deposit all payments received by it on account of Pledged Receivables, whether in the form of cash, checks, notes, drafts, bills of exchange, money orders or otherwise, in the Lockbox System in precisely the form in which they are received (but with any endorsements of Company necessary for deposit or collection), and until they are so deposited to hold such payments in trust for and as the property of the Collateral Agent; provided, however, that with respect to any payment received that does not contain sufficient identification of the account number to which such payment relates or cannot be processed due to an act beyond the control of the Servicer, such deposit shall be made no later than the second Business Day following the date on which such account number is identified or such payment can be processed, as applicable.

As between Company and Collateral Agent, Company shall treat all income, gains and losses from the investment of amounts in the Collection Account as its income or loss for federal, state and local income tax purposes. The Paying Agent shall have no obligation to invest or reinvest any funds in any Controlled Accounts in the absence of timely written direction and shall not be liable for the selection of investments or for investment losses incurred thereon.

The Reserve Account will be funded with funds available therefor pursuant to Section 2.12. If on any Interest Payment Date the amount of Collections on deposit in the Collection Account is insufficient to make the full amount of disbursements required by Section 2.12(a)(i)(B), (ii) through (iii), amounts on deposit in the Reserve Account may be transferred to the Collection Account to meet any such shortfall and shall be disbursed in the order and according to the priority set forth under such sections. In addition, upon the occurrence and continuation of an Early Amortization Event or an Event of Default, amounts on deposit in the Reserve Account shall be withdrawn to pay the amounts set forth in Section 2.12(b) or Section 2.12(c), as applicable.

All payments to the Class A Lenders or the Class B Lenders pursuant to Section 2.12 shall be made based on calculations of the Administrative Agent which shall be set forth in the Monthly Servicing Report on which the Paying Agent may conclusively rely.

(b) All payments in respect of the principal amount of any Revolving Loan (other than, unless requested by the Administrative Agent, voluntary prepayments of Revolving Loans or payments pursuant to Section 2.10) shall be accompanied by payment of accrued interest on the principal amount being repaid or prepaid.

(c) Paying Agent shall promptly distribute to each Class A Lender and each Class B Lender, at such bank account as such Lender shall indicate in writing, the applicable Pro Rata Share of each such Lender of all payments and prepayments of principal and interest due hereunder, together with all other amounts due with respect thereto, including, without limitation, all fees payable with respect thereto, to the extent received by Paying Agent as set forth in the Monthly Servicing Report.

- 61 -


 

(d) Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the payment of interest hereunder or of the commitment fees hereunder.

(e) Except as set forth in the proviso to Section 2.13(a), Paying Agent shall deem any payment by or on behalf of Company hereunder to it that is not made in same day funds prior to 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) to be a non-conforming payment. Any such payment shall not be deemed to have been received by Paying Agent until the later of (i) the time such funds become available funds, and (ii) the applicable next Business Day. Paying Agent shall give prompt notice via electronic mail to Company and Administrative Agent if any payment is non-conforming. Any non-conforming payment may constitute or become a Default or Event of Default in accordance with the terms of Section 7.1(a). Interest shall continue to accrue on any principal as to which a non-conforming payment is made until such funds become available funds (but in no event less than the period from the date of such payment to the next succeeding applicable Business Day) at the rate otherwise applicable to such paid amount from the date such amount was due and payable until the date such amount is paid in full.

2.14 Ratable Sharing. Lenders hereby agree among themselves that, except as otherwise provided herein or in the Collateral Documents with respect to amounts realized from the exercise of rights with respect to Liens on the Collateral, if any of them shall, whether by voluntary payment (other than a voluntary prepayment of Revolving Loans made and applied in accordance with the terms hereof), through the exercise of any right of set-off or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action or by the enforcement of any right under the Credit Documents, or otherwise, or as adequate protection of a deposit treated as cash collateral under the Bankruptcy Code, receive payment or reduction of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal, interest, fees and other amounts then due and owing to such Lender hereunder or under the other Credit Documents (collectively, the “Aggregate Amounts Due” to such Lender) which is greater than such Lender would be entitled pursuant to this Agreement (after giving effect to the priority of payments determining application of payments to the Class A Lenders and the Class B Lenders, respectively), then the Lender receiving such proportionately greater payment shall (a) notify Administrative Agent, Paying Agent and each Lender of the receipt of such payment and (b) apply a portion of such payment to purchase participations (which it shall be deemed to have purchased from each seller of a participation simultaneously upon the receipt by such seller of its portion of such payment) in the Aggregate Amounts Due to the other Lenders so that the recovery of such Aggregate Amounts Due shall be shared by the applicable Lenders in proportion to the Aggregate Amounts Due to them pursuant to this Agreement; provided, if all or part of such proportionately greater payment received by such purchasing Lender is thereafter recovered from such Lender upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of Company or otherwise, those purchases shall be rescinded and the purchase prices paid for such participations shall be returned to such purchasing Lender ratably to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. Company expressly consents to the foregoing arrangement and agrees that any holder of a participation so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim with respect to any and all monies owing by Company to that holder with respect thereto as fully as if that holder were owed the amount of the participation held by that holder.

2.15 Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy.

- 62 -


 

(a) Compensation for Increased Costs and Taxes. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.16 (which shall be controlling with respect to the matters covered thereby), in the event that any Affected Party shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) that any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or any change therein or in the interpretation, administration or application thereof (including the introduction of any new law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order), or any determination of a court or Governmental Authority, in each case that becomes effective after the Closing Date, or compliance by such Affected Party with any guideline, request or directive issued or made after the date hereof (or with respect to any Lender which becomes a Lender after the date hereof, effective after such date) by any central bank or other Governmental Authority or quasi-Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law): (i) subjects such Affected Party (or its applicable lending office) to any additional Tax (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) with respect to this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents or any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder or any payments to such Affected Party (or its applicable lending office) of principal, interest, fees or any other amount payable hereunder; (ii) imposes, modifies or holds applicable any reserve (including any marginal, emergency, supplemental, special or other reserve), special deposit, compulsory loan, FDIC or other insurance or charge or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, or advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Affected Party; or (iii) imposes any other condition (other than with respect to a Tax matter) on or affecting such Affected Party (or its applicable lending office) or its obligations hereunder; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Affected Party of agreeing to make, making or maintaining Revolving Loans hereunder or to reduce any amount received or receivable by such Affected Party (or its applicable lending office) with respect thereto; then, in any such case, if such Affected Party deems such change to be material, Company shall promptly pay to such Affected Party, upon receipt of the statement referred to in the next sentence, such additional amount or amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Affected Party in its sole discretion shall determine) as may be necessary to compensate such Affected Party for any such increased cost or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder and any reasonable expenses related thereto. Such Affected Party shall deliver to Company (with a copy to Administrative Agent and Paying Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to such Affected Party under this Section 2.15(a), which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error.

- 63 -


 

(b) Capital Adequacy Adjustment. In the event that any Affected Party shall have determined in its sole discretion (which determination shall, absent manifest effort, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) that (i) the adoption, effectiveness, phase-in or applicability of any law, rule or regulation (or any provision thereof) regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or (ii) compliance by any Affected Party (or its applicable lending office) or any company controlling such Affected Party with any guideline, request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, in each case after the Closing Date, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Affected Party or any company controlling such Affected Party as a consequence of, or with reference to, such Affected Party’s Revolving Loans or Revolving Commitments, or participations therein or other obligations hereunder with respect to the Revolving Loans to a level below that which such Affected Party or such controlling company could have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, phase-in, applicability, change or compliance (taking into consideration the policies of such Affected Party or such controlling company with regard to capital adequacy), then from time to time, within five (5) Business Days after receipt by Company from such Affected Party of the statement referred to in the next sentence, Company shall pay to such Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Party or such controlling company on an after-tax basis for such reduction. Such Affected Party shall deliver to Company (with a copy to Administrative Agent and Paying Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to such Affected Party under this Section 2.15(b), which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error. For the avoidance of doubt, subsections (i) and (ii) of this Section 2.15(b) shall apply, without limitation, to all requests, rules, guidelines or directives concerning liquidity and capital adequacy issued by any Governmental Authority (x) under or in connection with the implementation of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, as amended to the date hereof and from time to time hereafter, and any successor statute and (y) in connection with the implementation of the recommendations of the Bank for International Settlements or the Basel Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices (or any successor or similar authority), regardless of the date adopted, issued, promulgated or implemented.

(c) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Affected Party to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.15 shall not constitute a waiver of such Affected Party’s right to demand such compensation, provided that Company shall not be required to compensate an Affected Party pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.15 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the date that such Affected Party notifies Company of the matters giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Affected Party’s intention to claim compensation therefor.

2.16 Taxes; Withholding, etc.

(a) Payments to Be Free and Clear. Subject to Section 2.16(b), all sums payable by Company hereunder and under the other Credit Documents shall (except to the extent required by law) be paid free and clear of, and without any deduction or withholding on account of, any Tax imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by or within the United States or any political subdivision in or of the United States.

- 64 -


 

(b) Withholding of Taxes. If Company or any other Person is required by law to make any deduction or withholding on account of any such Tax from any sum paid or payable by Company to an Affected Party under any of the Credit Documents: (i) Company shall notify Paying Agent of any such requirement or any change in any such requirement as soon as Company becomes aware of it; (ii) Company shall, or shall instruct the Paying Agent in writing to, make such deduction or withholding and pay any such Tax to the relevant Governmental Authority before the date on which penalties attach thereto, such payment to be made (if the liability to pay is imposed on Company) for its own account or (if that liability is imposed on Paying Agent or such Affected Party, as the case may be) on behalf of and in the name of Paying Agent or such Affected Party; (iii) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, the sum payable by Company in respect of which the relevant deduction, withholding or payment is required shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of that deduction, withholding or payment (and any withholdings imposed on additional amounts payable under this paragraph), such Affected Party receives on the due date a sum equal to what it would have received had no such deduction, withholding or payment been required or made; and (iv) within thirty (30) days after paying any sum from which it is required by law to make any deduction or withholding, and within thirty (30) days after the due date of payment of any Tax which it is required by clause (ii) above to pay, Company shall deliver evidence satisfactory to the other Affected Parties of such deduction, withholding or payment and of the remittance thereof to the relevant taxing or other authority. Each party hereto agrees that the Paying Agent and Company have the right to withhold on payments (without any corresponding gross-up) where a party fails to comply with the documentation requirements set forth in Section 2.16(d). Upon request from the Paying Agent, the Company will provide such additional information that it may have to assist the Paying Agent in making any withholdings pursuant to the Company’s written instruction.

(c) Indemnification by Company. Company shall indemnify each Affected Party, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes payable or paid by such Affected Party or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Affected Party and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto (other than any interest, penalties or expenses imposed as a result of gross negligence or willful misconduct of an Affected Party), whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Company by an Affected Party (with a copy to the Paying Agent), shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Evidence of Exemption or Reduced Rate From U.S. Withholding Tax.

(i) Each Lender and the Administrative Agent that is not a United States Person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code) for U.S. federal income tax purposes (a “Non-US Lender”) shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Paying Agent and the Company, on or prior to the Closing Date (in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof on the Closing Date) or on or prior to the date of the Assignment Agreement pursuant to which it becomes a Lender (in the case of each other Lender), and at such other times as may be necessary in the determination of Company or Paying Agent (each in the reasonable exercise of its discretion), (A) two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8ECI or W-8IMY, as applicable (with appropriate attachments) (or any successor forms), properly completed and duly executed by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, and such other documentation required under the Internal Revenue Code and reasonably requested by Company or the Paying Agent to establish that the Administrative Agent or such Lender is not subject to, or is eligible for a reduction in the rate of, deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to any payments to Administrative Agent or such Lender of principal, interest, fees or other amounts payable under any of the Credit Documents, or (B) if the Administrative Agent or such Lender is not a “bank” or other Person described in Section 881(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and cannot deliver Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY or W-8ECI pursuant to clause (A) above and is relying on the so called “portfolio interest exception”, a Certificate Regarding Non-Bank Status together with two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable (or any successor form), properly completed and duly executed by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, and such other documentation required under the Internal Revenue Code and reasonably requested by Company or the Paying Agent to establish that the Administrative Agent or such Lender is not subject, or is eligible for a reduction in the rate of, to deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to any payments to the Administrative Agent or such Lender of interest payable under any of the Credit Documents.

The Administrative Agent and each Lender required to deliver any forms, certificates or other evidence with respect to United States federal income tax withholding matters pursuant to this Section 2.16(d)(i) or Section 2.16(d)(ii) hereby agrees, from time to time after the initial delivery by the Administrative Agent or such Lender of such forms, certificates or other evidence, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such forms, certificates or other evidence obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, that the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall promptly deliver to Company and the Paying Agent two new original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8IMY, or W-8ECI, or, if relying on the “portfolio interest exception”, a Certificate Regarding Non-Bank Status and two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable (or any successor form), as the case may be, properly completed and duly executed by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, and such other documentation required under the Internal Revenue Code and reasonably requested by Company or Paying Agent to confirm or establish that the Administrative Agent or such Lender is not subject to, or is eligible for a reduction in the rate of, deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to payments to the Administrative Agent or such Lender under the Credit Documents, or notify Paying Agent and Company of its inability to deliver any such forms, certificates or other evidence.

(ii) Any Lender and the Administrative Agent that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to Company and the Paying Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement on the Closing Date or pursuant to an Assignment Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Company or the Paying Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is a U.S. Person and exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax.

(iii) If a payment made to the Administrative Agent or a Lender under any Credit Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if the Administrative Agent or such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall deliver to Company and the Paying Agent at the time or times reasonably requested by Company or the Paying Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Company or the Paying Agent as may be necessary for Company and the Paying Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that the Administrative Agent or such Lender has complied with the Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.

- 66 -


 

Solely for purposes of this Section 2.16(d)(iii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement

(iv) If the Administrative Agent, acting as an agent for the account of others, is not a U.S. person, it shall deliver to the Paying Agent and Company on or prior to the date on which it becomes the Administrative Agent under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Paying Agent or Company) (i) an executed copy of IRS Form W-8ECI with respect to any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent for its own account and (ii) two executed copies of Form W-8IMY certifying that it is a “U.S. branch” and that the payments it receives for the account of others are not effectively connected with the conduct of its trade or business within the United States and that it is using such form as evidence of its agreement with Company to be treated as a United States person with respect to such payments (and Company and the Administrative Agent agree to so treat the Administrative Agent as a United States person with respect to such payments as contemplated by Section 1.1441-1(b)(2)(iv) of the United States Treasury Regulations).

(e) Payment of Other Taxes by the Company. The Company shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (f) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (f), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (f) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

2.17 Obligation to Mitigate. Each Lender agrees that, as promptly as practicable after the officer of such Lender responsible for administering its Revolving Loans becomes aware of the occurrence of an event or the existence of a condition that would entitle such Lender to receive payments under Section 2.15 and/or Section 2.16, it will, to the extent not inconsistent with the internal policies of such Lender and any applicable legal or regulatory restrictions, use reasonable efforts to (a) make, issue, fund or maintain its Credit Extensions through another office of such Lender, or (b) take such other measures as such Lender may deem reasonable, if as a result thereof the additional amounts which would otherwise be required to be paid to such Lender pursuant to 2.15 and/or 2.16 would be materially reduced and if, as determined by such Lender in its sole discretion, the making, issuing, funding or maintaining of such Revolving Commitments or Revolving Loans through such other office or in accordance with such other measures, as the case may be, would not otherwise adversely affect such Revolving Commitments or Revolving Loans or the interests of such Lender; provided, such Lender will not be obligated to utilize such other office pursuant to this Section 2.17 unless Company agrees to pay all reasonable and incremental expenses incurred by such Lender as a result of utilizing such other office as described above. A certificate as to the amount of any such expenses payable by Company pursuant to this Section 2.17 (setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount) submitted by such Lender to Company (with a copy to Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Company agrees to reimburse the Lender its expenses associated with complying with this Section 2.17.

2.18 Defaulting Lenders. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that, other than at the direction or request of any regulatory agency or authority, any Lender defaults (in each case, a “Defaulting Lender”) in its obligation to fund (a “Funding Default”) any Revolving Loan (in each case, a “Defaulted Loan”), then (a) during any Default Period with respect to such Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a “Lender” for purposes of voting on any matters (including the granting of any consents or waivers) with respect to any of the Credit Documents; (b) to the extent permitted by applicable law, until such time as the Default Excess, if any, with respect to such Defaulting Lender shall have been reduced to zero, (i) any voluntary prepayment of the Revolving Loans shall be applied to the Revolving Loans of other Lenders of the applicable Class as if such Defaulting Lender had no Revolving Loans outstanding and the Revolving Exposure of such Defaulting Lender were zero, and (ii) any mandatory prepayment of the Revolving Loans of the applicable Class shall be applied to the Revolving Loans of other Lenders (but not to the Revolving Loans of such Defaulting Lender) of such Class as if such Defaulting Lender had funded all Defaulted Loans of such Class of such Defaulting Lender, it being understood and agreed that Company shall be entitled to retain any portion of any mandatory prepayment of the Revolving Loans of the applicable Class that is not paid to such Defaulting Lender solely as a result of the operation of the provisions of this clause (b); and (c) the Total Utilization of Class A Revolving Loans or the Total Utilization of Class B Revolving Loans, as applicable, as at any date of determination shall be calculated as if such Defaulting Lender had funded all Defaulted Loans of such Defaulting Lender. No Revolving Commitment of any Lender shall be increased or otherwise affected, and, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 2.18, performance by Company of its obligations hereunder and the other Credit Documents shall not be excused or otherwise modified as a result of any Funding Default or the operation of this Section 2.18. The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender under this Section 2.18 are in addition to other rights and remedies which Company may have against such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Funding Default and which Administrative Agent or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Funding Default or violation of Section 8.5(c).

- 68 -


 

2.19 Removal or Replacement of a Lender. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that: (a) (i) any Lender (an “Increased-Cost Lender”) shall give notice to Company that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under Section 2.15 and/or Section 2.16, (ii) the circumstances which entitle such Lender to receive such payments shall remain in effect, and (iii) such Lender shall fail to withdraw such notice within five (5) Business Days after Company’s request for such withdrawal; or (b) (i) in the event that there is a Funding Default with respect to a Defaulting Lender (other than a Class A Conduit Lender), other than as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s good faith determination that one or more conditions to funding have not been satisfied hereunder, (ii) the Default Period for such Defaulting Lender shall remain in effect, and (iii) such Defaulting Lender shall fail to cure the default as a result of which it has become a Defaulting Lender within five (5) Business Days after Company’s request that it cure such default; or (c) in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to any of the provisions hereof as contemplated by Section 9.5(b), the consent of Administrative Agent and Requisite Lenders shall have been obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders (each a “Non-Consenting Lender”) whose consent is required shall not have been obtained and no Default, Early Amortization Event or Event of Default shall then exist; then, with respect to each such Increased-Cost Lender, Defaulting Lender or Non-Consenting Lender (the “Terminated Lender”), Company may, by giving written notice to any Terminated Lender and the Administrative Agent of its election to do so, elect to cause such Terminated Lender (and such Terminated Lender hereby irrevocably agrees) to assign (without recourse) its outstanding Revolving Loans and its Revolving Commitments, if any, in full to one or more Eligible Assignees identified by Company (each a “Replacement Lender”) in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.6; provided, (1) on the date of such assignment, the Replacement Lender shall pay to the Terminated Lender an amount equal to the sum of (A) an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Revolving Loans of the Terminated Lender and, if applicable, such other Lenders, and (B) an amount equal to all accrued, but theretofore unpaid fees owing to such Terminated Lender and, if applicable, such other Lenders, pursuant to Section 2.7; (2) on the date of such assignment, Company shall pay any amounts payable to such Terminated Lender pursuant to Section 2.15 and/or Section 2.16 and any other amounts due to such Terminated Lender (and all expenses and costs of the Terminating Lender associated with compliance with this Section 2.19); (3) in the event such Terminated Lender is an Increased-Cost Lender, such assignment will result in a reduction in any claims for payments under Section 2.15 and/or Section 2.16, as applicable, (4) such assignment does not conflict with applicable law; and (5) in the event such Terminated Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender, each Replacement Lender shall consent, at the time of such assignment, to each matter in respect of which such Terminated Lender was a Non-Consenting Lender. Upon the prepayment of all amounts owing to any Terminated Lender and the termination of such Terminated Lender’s Revolving Commitments, such Terminated Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes hereof; provided, any rights of such Terminated Lender to indemnification hereunder shall survive as to such Terminated Lender.

2.20 The Paying Agent. (a) The Lenders hereby appoint Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas as the initial Paying Agent. All payments of amounts due and payable in respect of the Obligations that are to be made from amounts withdrawn from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 2.12 shall be made by the Paying Agent based on the Monthly Servicing Report (upon which the Paying Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely).

- 69 -


 

(b) The Paying Agent hereby agrees that, subject to the provisions of this Section, it shall hold any sums held by it for the payment of amounts due with respect to the Obligations in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and pay such sums to such Persons as herein provided.

All such amounts shall be payable in accordance with Section 2.12 and such indemnity shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Paying Agent.

(e) The Paying Agent undertakes to perform such duties, and only such duties, as are expressly set forth in this Agreement. No implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Paying Agent. The Paying Agent may conclusively rely on the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed in any certificates or opinions furnished to the Paying Agent pursuant to and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement.

(f) The Paying Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the direction or request of Requisite Lenders or the Administrative Agent or other relevant instructing party expressly permitted hereunder, or (ii) in the absence of its own, gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, no longer subject to appeal or review.

(g) The Paying Agent shall not be charged with knowledge of any event or information, including any Default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Paying Agent obtains actual knowledge or receives written notice of such event from the Company, the Servicer or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be. The receipt and/or delivery of reports and other information under this Agreement by the Paying Agent, and any publicly-available information, shall not constitute notice or actual or constructive knowledge of any such event or information, including any Default or Event of Default contained therein.

(h) The Paying Agent shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there shall be reasonable grounds for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability shall not be reasonably assured to it, and none of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event require the Paying Agent to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the obligations of the Company under this Agreement.

(i) The Paying Agent may conclusively rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate of an Authorized Officer, any Monthly Servicing Report, certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.

(j) The Paying Agent may consult with counsel of its choice with regard to legal questions arising out of or in connection with this Agreement and the advice or opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered by the Paying Agent in good faith and in accordance therewith.

7.3 Class B Lender Purchase Option.

(a) So long as an Early Amortization Event or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing but prior to delivery of a Liquidation Notice, within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of a written request therefor from the Class B Lenders (a “Purchase Option Request”), the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Class B Lenders a written notice specifying the estimated amount of Class A Obligations that would be subject to the Class B Purchase Right (a “Purchase Option Notice”); provided that if the Class B Lenders do not thereafter elect to exercise the Class B Purchase Right, then the Administrative Agent shall have no further obligation to deliver a Purchase Option Notice unless (i) the related notice of exercise of the Class B Purchase Right was validly revoked in accordance with this Section or (ii) solely if such Purchase Option Request was delivered upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Early Amortization Event, a subsequent Purchase Option Request is delivered upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. The Administrative Agent shall provide the Class B Lenders with at least ten (10) days prior written notice (a “Liquidation Notice”) before the Administrative Agent completes any liquidation of the Collateral in connection with an Enforcement Action exercised pursuant to Section 7.1. The Class B Lenders may offer to purchase the Collateral at a price equal to the highest observable third party bid received by the Administrative Agent by delivering notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days of receiving the Liquidation Notice; provided that the Administrative Agent shall have the right to reject such offer to purchase the Collateral solely by providing written notice to the Class B Lenders (a “Rejection Notice”), which notice shall specify the estimated amount of Class A Obligations that would be subject to the Class B Purchase Right. Within five (5) Business Days of receiving a Purchase Option Notice or a Rejection Notice, the Class B Lenders may elect to purchase all (but not less than all) of the Class A Obligations from the Class A Lenders (the “Class B Purchase Right”), which notice shall be irrevocable (unless the final amount of the Class A Obligations is more than $50,000 higher than the estimated amount of Class A Obligations set forth in such Purchase Option Notice or Rejection Notice, in which case such notice of exercise of the Class B Purchase Right may be revoked in the sole and absolute discretion of the Class B Lenders at any time prior to the Class B Purchase Option Exercise Date) and shall specify the date on which such right is to be exercised (which shall be no more than five (5) Business Days after providing notice of the election to exercise the Class B Purchase Right) (the “Class B Purchase Option Exercise Date”).

- 105 -


 

On the Class B Purchase Option Exercise Date, the Class A Lenders shall sell to the Class B Lenders, and the Class B Lenders shall purchase from the Class A Lenders, the Class A Obligations and pay (including by making a Revolving Loan on such day and using the proceeds thereof to pay or causing Collections to be applied, or both) any amounts due in connection with the termination of any Hedging Agreement.

(b) Upon the date of such purchase and sale, the Class B Lenders shall (i) pay to the Class A Lenders, as the purchase price therefor, the then-outstanding Class A Obligations (exclusive of any prepayment fees and penalties; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, amounts of interest owing hereunder shall not constitute prepayment fees or penalties) and (ii) agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Class A Lenders and the Administrative Agent from and against any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense (including reasonable fees and expenses of One Counsel) arising out of any claim asserted by a third party as a direct result of any acts by the Class B Lenders occurring after the date of such purchase (but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any Class A Lender, any such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense resulting from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Class A Lender). Such purchase price and other sums shall be remitted by wire transfer in federal funds to such bank account of the Class A Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall have designated in writing to the Class B Lenders for such purpose. In connection with the foregoing purchase, accrued and unpaid Class A Monthly Interest Amount shall be calculated through the Business Day on which such purchase and sale shall occur if the amounts so paid by the Class B Lenders to the bank account designated by the Class A Lenders are received in such bank account prior to 1:00 p.m., New York time and interest shall be calculated to and include the next Business Day if the amounts so paid by the Class B Lenders to the bank account designated by the Class A Lenders are received in such bank account later than 12:00 p.m., New York time.

In performing its functions and duties hereunder, each Agent (other than Administrative Agent) shall act solely as an agent of Lenders and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation towards or relationship of agency or trust with or for Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries.

8.2 Powers and Duties. Each Lender irrevocably authorizes each Agent (other than Administrative Agent) to take such action on such Lender’s behalf and to exercise such powers, rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Credit Documents as are specifically delegated or granted to such Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers, rights and remedies as are reasonably incidental thereto. Each Lender irrevocably authorizes Administrative Agent to take such action on such Lender’s behalf and to exercise such powers, rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Credit Documents as are specifically delegated or granted to Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers, rights and remedies as are reasonably incidental thereto.

- 106 -


 

Each Agent shall have only those duties and responsibilities that are expressly specified herein and the other Credit Documents. Each such Agent may exercise such powers, rights and remedies and perform such duties by or through its agents or employees. No such Agent shall have, by reason hereof or any of the other Credit Documents, a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender; and nothing herein or any of the other Credit Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon any such Agent any obligations in respect hereof or any of the other Credit Documents except as expressly set forth herein or therein.

8.3 General Immunity.

(a) No Responsibility for Certain Matters. No Agent shall be responsible to any Lender for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectability or sufficiency hereof or any other Credit Document or for any representations, warranties, recitals or statements made herein or therein or made in any written or oral statements or in any financial or other statements, instruments, reports or certificates or any other documents furnished or made by any Agent to Lenders or by or on behalf of Company or Holdings to any Agent or any Lender in connection with the Credit Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby or for the financial condition or business affairs of Company or Holdings or any other Person liable for the payment of any Obligations or any other amount due hereunder or any other Credit Document, nor shall any Agent be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, provisions, covenants or agreements contained in any of the Credit Documents or as to the use of the proceeds of the Revolving Loans or as to the existence or possible existence of any Event of Default or Default or to make any disclosures with respect to the foregoing. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, neither the Paying Agent nor the Administrative Agent shall not have any liability arising from confirmations of the amount of outstanding Revolving Loans or the component amounts thereof.

(b) Exculpatory Provisions Relating to Agents. No Agent nor any of its officers, partners, directors, employees or agents shall be liable to Lenders for any action taken or omitted by any Agent under or in connection with any of the Credit Documents except to the extent caused by such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable order. Each such Agent shall be entitled to refrain from any act or the taking of any action (including the failure to take an action) in connection herewith or any of the other Credit Documents or from the exercise of any power, discretion or authority vested in it hereunder or thereunder unless and until such Agent shall have received instructions in respect thereof from the Administrative Agent or the Requisite Lenders, as applicable (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such instructions under Section 9.5) and, upon receipt of such instructions from the Administrative Agent or Requisite Lenders, as applicable (or such other Lenders, as the case may be), such Agent shall be entitled to act or (where so instructed) refrain from acting, or to exercise such power, discretion or authority, in accordance with such instructions. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, (i) each such Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any communication, instrument or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person or Persons, and shall be entitled to rely and shall be protected in relying on opinions and

- 107 -


 

judgments of attorneys (who may be attorneys for Holdings and Company), accountants, experts and other professional advisors selected by it; and (ii) no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against any such Agent as a result of such Agent acting or (where so instructed) refraining from acting hereunder or any of the other Credit Documents in accordance with the instructions of Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such instructions under Section 9.5). For the avoidance of doubt, the Paying Agent shall take direction hereunder only in accordance with the written direction of the Administrative Agent (and not at the direction of any Lender or the Requisite Lenders).

8.4 Agents Entitled to Act as Lender. Any agency hereby created shall in no way impair or affect any of the rights and powers of, or impose any duties or obligations upon, any Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender hereunder. With respect to its participation in the Revolving Loans, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as if it were not performing the duties and functions delegated to it hereunder, and the term “Lender” shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include each Agent in its individual capacity. Any Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory or other business with Holdings or any of its Affiliates as if it were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from Company for services in connection herewith and otherwise without having to account for the same to Lenders.

8.5 Lenders’ Representations, Warranties and Acknowledgment.

(a) Each Lender represents and warrants that it has made its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of Holdings and Company in connection with Credit Extensions hereunder and that it has made and shall continue to make its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of Holdings and Company. No Agent shall have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to make any such investigation or any such appraisal on behalf of Lenders or to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the Revolving Loans or at any time or times thereafter, and no Agent shall have any responsibility with respect to the accuracy of or the completeness of any information provided to Lenders.

(b) Each Lender, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement, shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Credit Document and each other document required to be approved by any Agent, Requisite Lenders or Lenders, as applicable on the Closing Date.

8.6 Right to Indemnity. Each Lender (other than any Class A Conduit Lender), in proportion to its Pro Rata Share, severally agrees to indemnify each Agent, their Affiliates and their respective officers, partners, directors, trustees, employees and agents of each Agent (each, an “Indemnitee Agent Party”), to the extent that such Indemnitee Agent Party shall not have been reimbursed by Company or Holdings, for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including counsel fees and disbursements) or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnitee Agent Party in exercising its powers, rights and remedies or performing its duties hereunder or under the other Credit Documents or otherwise in its capacity as such Indemnitee Agent Party in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Credit Documents, IN ALL CASES, WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED BY OR ARISING, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, OUT OF THE COMPARATIVE, CONTRIBUTORY, OR SOLE NEGLIGENCE OF SUCH INDEMNITEE AGENT PARTY; provided, no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Indemnitee Agent Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable order.

- 108 -


 

If any indemnity furnished to any Indemnitee Agent Party for any purpose shall, in the opinion of such Indemnitee Agent Party, be insufficient or become impaired, such Indemnitee Agent Party may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished; provided, in no event shall this sentence require any Lender to indemnify any Indemnitee Agent Party against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement in excess of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof; provided, this sentence shall not be deemed to require any Lender to indemnify any Indemnitee Agent Party against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement described in the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence.

8.7 Successor Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent.

(a) Administrative Agent.

(i) Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving thirty (30) days’ prior written notice thereof to the Lenders and Company. Upon any such notice of resignation, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right, upon five (5) Business Days’ notice to Company, to appoint a successor Administrative Agent provided, that the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent shall require the approval of the Requisite Class B Lenders and (so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) Company’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, that successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and the retiring Administrative Agent shall promptly (i) transfer to such successor Administrative Agent all records and other documents necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance of the duties of the successor Administrative Agent under the Credit Documents, and (ii) take such other actions, as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the appointment of such successor Administrative Agent, whereupon such retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 8 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent hereunder. If Administrative Agent is a Class A Committed Lender or an Affiliate thereof on the date on which the Class A Maturity Date shall have occurred and all Class A Revolving Loans and all other Obligations owing to the Class A Committed Lenders have been paid in full in cash, such Administrative Agent shall provide immediate notice of resignation to the Company and the Class B Lenders, and the Requisite Class B Lenders shall have the right, upon five (5) Business Days’ notice to the Company, to appoint a successor Administrative Agent; provided, that the appointment of any successor Administrative Agent that is not a Class B Lender or an Affiliate thereof shall require (so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) Company’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

- 109 -


 

(ii) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Administrative Agent may assign its rights and duties as Administrative Agent hereunder to one of its Affiliates without the prior written consent of, or prior written notice to, Company or the Revolving Lenders; provided that Company and the Lenders may deem and treat such assigning Administrative Agent as Administrative Agent for all purposes hereof, unless and until such assigning Administrative Agent provides written notice to Company and the Lenders of such assignment. Upon such assignment such Affiliate shall succeed to and become vested with all rights, powers, privileges and duties as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Credit Documents.

(b) Collateral Agent.

(i) Collateral Agent may resign at any time by giving thirty (30) days’ prior written notice thereof to Lenders and Company. Upon any such notice of resignation, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right, upon five (5) Business Days’ notice to Company, to appoint a successor Collateral Agent provided, that the appointment of a successor Collateral Agent shall require (so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) Company’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. If, however, a successor Collateral Agent is not appointed within sixty (60) days after the giving of notice of resignation, the Collateral Agent may petition a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Collateral Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Collateral Agent hereunder by a successor Collateral Agent, that successor Collateral Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent and the retiring Collateral Agent shall promptly (i) transfer to such successor Collateral Agent all sums, Securities and other items of Collateral held under the Collateral Documents, together with all records and other documents necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance of the duties of the successor Collateral Agent under the Credit Documents, and (ii) execute and deliver to such successor Collateral Agent such amendments to financing statements, and take such other actions, as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the appointment of such successor Collateral Agent and the assignment to such successor Collateral Agent of the security interests created under the Collateral Documents, whereupon such retiring Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After any retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder as Collateral Agent, the provisions of this Section 8 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Collateral Agent hereunder.

 

- 110 -


 

(ii) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Collateral Agent may assign its rights and duties as Collateral Agent hereunder to one of its Affiliates without the prior written consent of, or prior written notice to, Company or the Lenders; provided that Company and the Lenders may deem and treat such assigning Collateral Agent as Collateral Agent for all purposes hereof, unless and until such assigning Collateral Agent provides written notice to Company and the Lenders of such assignment. Upon such assignment such Affiliate shall succeed to and become vested with all rights, powers, privileges and duties as Collateral Agent hereunder and under the other Credit Documents.

8.8 Collateral Documents.

(a) Collateral Agent under Collateral Documents. Each Lender hereby further authorizes Collateral Agent, on behalf of and for the benefit of the Secured Parties, to be the agent for and representative of the Secured Parties with respect to the Collateral and the Collateral Documents. Subject to Section 9.5, without further written consent or authorization from Lenders, Collateral Agent may execute any documents or instruments necessary to release any Lien encumbering any item of Collateral that is the subject of a sale or other disposition of assets permitted hereby or to which Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such consent under Section 9.5) have otherwise consented.

8.9 Erroneous Payments.

(a) Each Lender hereby agrees that (x) if the Paying Agent notifies such Lender that the Paying Agent has determined (or the Administrative Agent has determined and notified the Paying Agent in writing) in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Lender from the Paying Agent or any of its Affiliates (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise; individually and collectively, a “Payment”) were erroneously transmitted to such Lender (whether or not known to such Lender), and demands the return of such Payment (or a portion thereof), such Lender shall promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter, return to the Paying Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Paying Agent at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect, and (y) to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender shall not assert, and hereby waives, as to the Paying Agent, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Paying Agent for the return of any Payments received, including without limitation any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine. A notice of the Paying Agent to any Lender under this Section 8.9 shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

 

- 111 -


 

(b) Each Lender hereby further agrees that if it receives a Payment from the Paying Agent or any of its Affiliates (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment sent by the Paying Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Payment (a “Payment Notice”) or (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a Payment Notice, it shall be on notice, in each such case, that an error has been made with respect to such Payment. Each Lender agrees that, in each such case, or if it otherwise becomes aware a Payment (or portion thereof) may have been sent in error, such Lender shall promptly notify the Paying Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from the Paying Agent, it shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Paying Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Paying Agent at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect.

(c) Each Lender hereby authorizes the Paying Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Credit Document, or otherwise payable and distributable by the Paying Agent to such Lender under any Credit Document with respect to any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts, against any amount that the Paying Agent has demanded to be returned under clause (a) above.

(d) The Company hereby agrees that (x) in the event an erroneous payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Lender that has received such payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Paying Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Lender with respect to such amount and (y) an erroneous payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Company.

To the extent that the undertakings to defend, indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in this Section 9.3 may be unenforceable in whole or in part because they are violative of any law or public policy, Company shall contribute the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Indemnitees or any of them.

(b) To the extent permitted by applicable law, except with respect to any third party claims, no party hereto shall assert, and all parties hereto hereby waive, any claim against any other parties and their respective Affiliates, directors, employees, attorneys or agents, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) (whether or not the claim therefor is based on contract, tort or duty imposed by any applicable legal requirement) arising out of, in connection with, as a result of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any Credit Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby or referred to herein or therein, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Revolving Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof or any act or omission or event occurring in connection therewith, and all parties hereto hereby waive, release and agree not to sue upon any such claim or any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

(b) Register. Company, the Paying Agent, Administrative Agent and Lenders shall deem and treat the Persons listed as Lenders in the Registers as the holders and owners of the corresponding Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans listed therein for all purposes hereof, and no assignment or transfer of any such Revolving Commitment or Revolving Loan shall be effective, in each case, unless and until an Assignment Agreement effecting the assignment or transfer thereof shall have been delivered to and accepted by Administrative Agent and recorded in the Registers as provided in Section 9.6(e). Prior to such recordation, all amounts owed with respect to the applicable Revolving Commitment or Revolving Loan shall be owed to the Lender listed in the Registers as the owner thereof, and any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is listed in the Registers as a Lender shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, assignee or transferee of the corresponding Revolving Commitments or Revolving Loans.

(c) Right to Assign. Each Lender shall have the right at any time to sell, assign or transfer all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Revolving Commitment or Revolving Loans owing to it or other Obligations (provided, however, that each such assignment shall be of a uniform, and not varying, percentage of all rights and obligations under and in respect of any Revolving Loan and any related Revolving Commitments) to any Person constituting an Eligible Assignee. Each such assignment pursuant to this Section 9.6(c) (other than an assignment to any Person meeting the criteria of clause (i) of the definition of the term of “Eligible Assignee”) shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than $1,000,000 (or such lesser amount as may be agreed to by Company and Administrative Agent or as shall constitute the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans of the assigning Lender) with respect to the assignment of the Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans.

(d) Mechanics. The assigning Lender and the assignee thereof shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent an Assignment Agreement, together with such forms, certificates or other evidence, if any, with respect to United States federal income tax withholding matters as the assignee under such Assignment Agreement may be required to deliver to Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.16(d).

(e) Notice of Assignment.

(f) Representations and Warranties of Assignee. Each Lender, upon execution and delivery of this Agreement or upon executing and delivering an Assignment Agreement, as the case may be, represents and warrants as of the Closing Date or as of the applicable Closing Date (as defined in the applicable Assignment Agreement) that (i) it is an Eligible Assignee; (ii) it has experience and expertise in the making of or investing in commitments or loans such as the applicable Revolving Commitments or Revolving Loans, as the case may be; and (iii) it will make or invest in, as the case may be, its Revolving Commitments or Revolving Loans for its own account in the ordinary course of its business and without a view to distribution of such Revolving Commitments or Revolving Loans within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or other federal securities laws (it being understood that, subject to the provisions of this Section 9.6, the disposition of such Revolving Commitments or Revolving Loans or any interests therein shall at all times remain within its exclusive control).

(g) Effect of Assignment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 9.6, as of the “Effective Date” specified in the applicable Assignment Agreement: (i) the assignee thereunder shall have the rights and obligations of a “Lender” hereunder to the extent such rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment Agreement and shall thereafter be a party hereto and a “Lender” for all purposes hereof; (ii) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned thereby pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, relinquish its rights (other than any rights which survive the termination hereof under Section 9.8) and be released from its obligations hereunder (and, in the case of an Assignment Agreement covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto; provided, anything contained in any of the Credit Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, such assigning Lender shall continue to be entitled to the benefit of all indemnities hereunder as specified herein with respect to matters arising prior to the effective date of such assignment; (iii) the Revolving Commitments shall be modified to reflect the Revolving Commitment of such assignee and any Revolving Commitment of such assigning Lender, if any; and (iv) if any such assignment occurs after the issuance of any Revolving Loan Note hereunder, the assigning Lender shall, upon the effectiveness of such assignment or as promptly thereafter as practicable, surrender its applicable Revolving Loan Notes to Administrative Agent for cancellation, and thereupon Company shall issue and deliver new Revolving Loan Notes, if so requested by the assignee and/or assigning Lender, to such assignee and/or to such assigning Lender, with appropriate insertions, to reflect the new Revolving Commitments and/or outstanding Revolving Loans of the assignee and/or the assigning Lender.

- 119 -


 

(h) Participations. Each Lender shall have the right at any time to sell one or more participations to any Person (other than Holdings, any of its Subsidiaries or any of its Affiliates or a Direct Competitor) (each, a “Participant”) in all or any part of its Revolving Commitments, Revolving Loans or in any other Obligation. The holder of any such participation, other than an Affiliate of the Lender granting such participation, shall not be entitled to require such Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder except with respect to any amendment, modification, waiver or consent that would (i) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Revolving Loan or Revolving Loan Note in which such participant is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates) or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase the amount of the participant’s participation over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Revolving Commitment shall not constitute a change in the terms of such participation, and that an increase in any Revolving Commitment or Revolving Loan shall be permitted without the consent of any participant if the participant’s participation is not increased as a result thereof), (ii) consent to the assignment or transfer by Company of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, (iii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral under the Collateral Documents (except as expressly provided in the Credit Documents) supporting the Revolving Loans hereunder in which such participant is participating or (iv) require the consent of such Lender under Sections 9.5(a), 9.5(b) or 9.5(c). Company agrees that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15 or 2.16 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (c) of this Section; provided, a participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.15 or 2.16 (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.16(d)(i) and (ii) shall be delivered to the participating Lender), than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such participant, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a change in law that occurs after the participant acquired the applicable participation, unless the sale of the participation to such participant is made with Company’s prior written consent. Any Lender that sells such a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Company, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in such participation and other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person other than Company (through a Designated Officer), including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest or obligations under any Credit Document, except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Revolving Commitment, Revolving Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Paying Agent (in its capacity as Paying Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(i) Certain Other Assignments. In addition to any other assignment permitted pursuant to this Section 9.6 any Lender may assign, pledge and/or grant a security interest in, all or any portion of its Revolving Loans, the other Obligations owed by or to such Lender, and its Revolving Loan Notes, if any, to secure obligations of such Lender including, without limitation, any Federal Reserve Bank as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and any operating circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank; provided, no Lender, as between Company and such Lender, shall be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder as a result of any such assignment and pledge, and provided further, in no event shall the applicable Federal Reserve Bank, pledgee or trustee be considered to be a “Lender” or be entitled to require the assigning Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder. Any Lender that relies on the exclusion or exemption from the definition of

- 120 -


 

“investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940 contained in Rule 3a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act of 1940 may, at any time, without notice to or consent of the Company or the Agent, pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its rights (including, without limitation, rights to payment of its Revolving Loans and interest and any fees) under this Agreement to a trustee for purposes of compliance with such exclusion.

9.7 Independence of Covenants. All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.

9.8 Survival of Representations, Warranties and Agreements. All representations, warranties and agreements made herein shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and the making of any Credit Extension. Notwithstanding anything herein or implied by law to the contrary, the agreements of Company set forth in Sections 2.15, 2.16, 9.2, 9.3 and 9.10, the agreements of Lenders set forth in Sections 2.14 and 8.6 shall survive the payment of the Revolving Loans and the termination hereof.

9.9 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of any Agent or any Lender in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. The rights, powers and remedies given to each Agent and each Lender hereby are cumulative and shall be in addition to and independent of all rights, powers and remedies existing by virtue of any statute or rule of law or in any of the other Credit Documents. Any forbearance or failure to exercise, and any delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall not impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver thereof, nor shall it preclude the further exercise of any such right, power or remedy.

9.10 Marshalling; Payments Set Aside. Neither any Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of Company or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations or any other amount due hereunder. To the extent that Company makes a payment or payments to Administrative Agent or Lenders (or to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Lenders), or Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or Lenders enforce any security interests or exercise their rights of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, any other state or federal law, common law or any equitable cause, then, to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor or related thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or payments had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

9.11 Severability. In case any provision in or obligation hereunder or any Revolving Loan Note or other Credit Document shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

9.12 Obligations Several; Actions in Concert. The obligations of Lenders hereunder are several and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligations or Revolving Commitment of any other Lender hereunder. Nothing contained herein or in any other Credit Document, and no action taken by Lenders pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute Lenders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity. Anything in this Agreement or any other Credit Document to the contrary notwithstanding, each Lender hereby agrees with each other Lender that no Lender shall take any action to protect or enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement or any Revolving Loan Note or otherwise with respect to the Obligations without first obtaining the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, it being the intent of Lenders that any such action to protect or enforce rights under this Agreement and any Revolving Loan Note or otherwise with respect to the Obligations shall be taken in concert and at the direction or with the consent of the Administrative Agent.

9.13 Headings. Section headings herein are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part hereof for any other purpose or be given any substantive effect.

9.14 APPLICABLE LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

9.15 CONSENT TO JURISDICTION.

LOANS MADE HEREUNDER. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT.

Each Agent and Lender shall hold all non-public information regarding Holdings and its Affiliates and their businesses obtained by such Lender or Agent confidential and shall not disclose information of such nature, it being understood and agreed by Company that, in any event, a Lender or Agent may make (a) disclosures of such information to Affiliates of such Lender or Agent and to their agents, auditors, attorneys and advisors (and to other persons authorized by a Lender or Agent to organize, present or disseminate such information in connection with disclosures otherwise made in accordance with this Section 9.17) provided that such Persons are informed of the confidential nature of the information and agree to keep, or with respect to the Collateral Agent and Paying Agent will be instructed to keep, such information confidential, provided, further that no disclosure shall be made to any Person that is a Direct Competitor or, with respect to the Collateral Agent and Paying Agent only, any Person that the Collateral Agent and/or Paying Agent has actual knowledge is a Direct Competitor, (b) disclosures of such information reasonably required by any bona fide or potential assignee, transferee or participant in connection with the contemplated assignment, transfer or participation by such Lender of any Revolving Loans or any participations therein, provided that such Persons are informed of the confidential nature of the information and agree to keep such information confidential pursuant to a non-disclosure agreement, (c) disclosure to any rating agency when required by it provided that such Persons are informed of the confidential nature of the information and agree to keep, or with respect to the Collateral Agent and Paying Agent will be instructed to keep, such information confidential, (d) disclosures required by any applicable statute, law, rule or regulation or requested by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof or by any regulatory body or by the NAIC or pursuant to legal or judicial process or other legal proceeding (including by any tribunal); provided, that unless specifically prohibited by applicable law or court order, each Lender or Agent shall make reasonable efforts to notify Company of any request by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof (other than any such request in connection with any examination of the financial condition or other routine examination of such Lender or Agent by such Governmental Authority) for disclosure of any such non-public information prior to disclosure of such information, (e) to any nationally recognized statistical rating organization for the purpose of assisting in the negotiation, completion, administration and evaluation of the transaction documented under this Agreement or the commercial paper program of any Class A Conduit Lender or in compliance with Rule 17g-5 under the Exchange Act (or to any other rating agency in compliance with any similar rule or regulation in any relevant jurisdiction), (f) disclosures to credit enhancers, dealers and investors in respect of commercial paper of any Class A Conduit Lender in accordance with the customary practices of such Lender for disclosures to credit enhancers, dealers or investors, provided that any such disclosure to dealers or investors (i) shall inform such dealers or investors of the confidential nature of such information, (ii) shall be made on a basis which does not specifically identify Company or its Affiliates, and (iii) shall only include Permitted CP Disclosure Information, (g) disclosure of information that is independently developed by any Agent or Lender other than as a result of information disclosed in violation of this Section 9.17 and (h) any other disclosure authorized by the Company in writing in advance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the foregoing shall not be construed to prohibit the disclosure of any information that is or becomes publicly known or information obtained by a Lender or Agent from sources other than the Company other than as a result of a disclosure by an Agent or Lender in violation of this Section 9.17, and (ii) on or after the Closing Date, the Administrative Agent may, at its own expense issue news releases and publish “tombstone” advertisements and other announcements generally describing this transaction in newspapers, trade journals and other appropriate media (which may include use of logos of Company or Holdings) (collectively, “Trade Announcements”).

- 124 -


 

Company shall not issue, and shall cause Holdings not to issue, any Trade Announcement using the name of any Agent or Lender, or their respective Affiliates or referring to this Agreement or the other Credit Documents, or the transactions contemplated thereunder except (x) disclosures required by applicable law, regulation, legal process or the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission or (y) with the prior approval of Administrative Agent (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld).

9.18 Usury Savings Clause. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the aggregate interest rate charged or agreed to be paid with respect to any of the Obligations, including all charges or fees in connection therewith deemed in the nature of interest under applicable law shall not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. If the rate of interest (determined without regard to the preceding sentence) under this Agreement at any time exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the outstanding amount of the Revolving Loans made hereunder shall bear interest at the Highest Lawful Rate until the total amount of interest due hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect. In addition, if when the Revolving Loans made hereunder are repaid in full the total interest due hereunder (taking into account the increase provided for above) is less than the total amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect, then to the extent permitted by law, Company shall pay to the applicable Lenders an amount equal to the difference between the amount of interest paid and the amount of interest which would have been paid if the Highest Lawful Rate had at all times been in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intention of Lenders and Company to conform strictly to any applicable usury laws. Accordingly, if any Lender contracts for, charges, or receives any consideration which constitutes interest in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then any such excess shall be cancelled automatically and, if previously paid, shall at such Lender’s option be applied to the outstanding amount of the Revolving Loans made hereunder or be refunded to Company. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest, throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

9.19 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. The parties hereto agree that “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in this Agreement, shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, authentication, or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based record keeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act as in effect in any state, the New York Electronic Signatures and Records Act (N.Y.

State Tech. §§ 301-309), the Illinois Electronic Commerce Security Act (5 ILCS 175/1-101 et seq.), or the Uniform Commercial Code, and the parties hereto hereby waive any objection to the contrary; provided that no electronic signatures may be affixed to this Agreement through the use of a third-party party service provider unless otherwise approved by the Administrative Agent.

9.20 Effectiveness. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution of a counterpart hereof by each of the parties hereto and receipt by Company and Administrative Agent of written or telephonic notification of such execution and authorization of delivery thereof.

9.21 Patriot Act. Each Lender and Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies Company that (i) pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Company, which information includes the name and address of Company and other information that will allow such Lender or Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify Company in accordance with the Act and (ii) pursuant to the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, it is required to obtain a Beneficial Ownership Certification.

9.22 Nonpetition.

(a) Each of the parties hereto hereby covenants and agrees that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding Commercial Paper Notes of any Class A Conduit Lender, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, any Class A Conduit Lender any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or other similar proceeding under the laws of the United States or any state of the United States or any other jurisdiction.

(b) Each of the parties hereto (other than the Administrative Agent acting at the direction of the Requisite Lenders) hereby covenants and agrees that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding Obligations (other than inchoate indemnification obligations for which a claim has not been made) hereunder, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, the Company any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or other similar proceeding under the laws of the United States or any state of the United States or any other jurisdiction.

(c) The provisions of this Section 9.22 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

9.23 Limited Recourse.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, each of the parties hereto hereby acknowledge and agree that all transactions with any Class A Conduit Lender hereunder shall be without recourse of any kind to such Class A Conduit Lender. No Class A Conduit Lender shall have any liability or obligation hereunder unless and until such Class A Conduit Lender has received such amounts pursuant to this Agreement. In addition, the parties hereto hereby agree that no Class A Conduit Lender shall have any obligation to pay any amounts constituting fees, reimbursement for expenses or indemnities (collectively, “Expense Claims”) and such Expense Claims shall not constitute a claim (as defined in Section 101 of Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any similar law in another jurisdiction) against such Class A Conduit Lender, unless or until such Class A Conduit Lender has received amounts sufficient to pay such Expense Claims pursuant to this Agreement and such amounts are not required to pay the outstanding indebtedness of such Class A Conduit Lender.

- 126 -


 

(b) No recourse under any obligation, covenant or agreement of a Class A Conduit Lender, as applicable, contained in this Agreement shall be had against any member, manager, officer, director, employee or agent of any such Lender, any credit support provider (including any Related Fund) or any of its Affiliates (solely by virtue of such capacity) by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, by virtue of any statute or otherwise.

(c) The provisions of this Section 9.23 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

9.24 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In. Notwithstanding any other term of any Credit Document or any other agreement, arrangement or understanding between the parties, each party hereto acknowledges and accepts that any liability of any party to any other party under or in connection with the Credit Documents may be subject to Bail-In Action by the relevant Resolution Authority and acknowledges and accepts to be bound by the effect of:

(a) any Bail-In Action in relation to any such liability, including (without limitation):

(i) a reduction, in full or in part, in the principal amount, or outstanding amount due (including any accrued but unpaid interest) in respect of any such liability;

(iii) a cancellation of any such liability; and

(b) a variation of any term of any Finance Document to the extent necessary to give effect to any Bail-In Action in relation to any such liability.

(i) will acquire and retain, on an ongoing basis, a material net economic interest in the securitisation constituted by the Credit Documents in an amount of not less than 5% of the nominal value of the securitized exposures represented by the Pledged Receivables owned by the Company, in the form of a first loss tranche as referred to in option (d) of Article 6(3) of the Securitisation Regulations, by virtue of its ownership of 100% of the membership interests in the Company (the “Retention Interest”);

(ii) will not transfer, hedge or otherwise mitigate the credit risk of the Retention Interest, except to the extent permitted in accordance with the Securitisation Regulations; and

(iii) it will not change the manner in which the Retention Interest is held, except to the extent permitted by the Securitisation Regulations.

(B) it has clearly established processes for approving, amending, renewing and financing those Receivables; and

(D) it reasonably believes based on its own verification of information available to it that the entity directly or indirectly involved in the original agreement which created such Receivable, has applied to such Receivable the same sound and well-defined criteria for credit-granting that such entity applies to its non-securitized exposures.

(c) Holdings shall confirm to the Company, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders its compliance with the covenant set out in Section 10.1(a) in writing (which may be via email):

(d) Holdings hereby agrees that if, at any time, it fails to comply its obligations in this Section 10.1 (Retention Requirements), or if the representations made by it in Section 10.1(b) cease to be true and correct on any date upon which it is expressed to be given, it shall promptly provide notice thereof in writing to the Company and the Lenders.

10.2 Transparency Requirements.

(a) In relation to the reporting obligations under the Transparency Requirements, pursuant to Article 7(2) of the Securitisation Regulations, the Company and the Originator hereby designate the Company as the designated entity required to fulfil the reporting obligations of Article 7(1) of the Securitisation Regulations, and the Company accepts such designation and agrees to take all necessary steps required to fulfil the Transparency Requirements.
