AMENDED AND RESTATED

FEE RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AGREEMENT

THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED FEE RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) dated as of June 27, 2007 made by and between CARTUS CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation, as originator (the “Originator”) and KENOSIA FUNDING, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as Issuer (the “Issuer”).

WHEREAS, the Originator and Issuer entered into that certain Fee Receivables Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 7, 2002 (as amended, supplemented or modified prior to the effectiveness hereof, the “Original Fee Receivables Purchase Agreement”);

WHEREAS, the parties hereto have determined that the Original Fee Receivables Purchase Agreement should be amended and restated in full to reflect all amendments entered into prior to the date hereof, including name changes, and to correct minor mistakes;

WHEREAS, this Agreement therefore amends and restates the Original Fee Receivables Purchase Agreement;

WHEREAS, the Originator wishes to sell Cartus Fee Receivables and Cartus Fee Related Assets that it now owns and Cartus Fee Receivables and Cartus Fee Related Assets that it from time to time hereafter will own to the Issuer, and the Issuer is willing to purchase such Cartus Fee Receivables and Cartus Fee Related Assets from the Originator from time to time, on the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, the Issuer will pledge the same, together with all its other assets and properties now owned or hereafter acquired, to The Bank of New York (the “Trustee”) as security for the timely payment as and when due or to become due to any Series 2002-1 Noteholder, including Atlantic Asset Securitization LLC, as successor to Gotham Funding Corporation, and certain liquidity providers to Atlantic Asset Securitization LLC, of all principal and interest due on the Series 2002-1 Notes and of all other amounts due pursuant to the Transaction Documents;

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

DEFINITIONS

Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Agreement have the meanings specified in Part A of Appendix A or, if not defined therein, as specified in Appendix A of the CRC Purchase Agreement. In addition, this Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with the conventions set forth in Parts B, C and D of Appendix A.


ARTICLE II

SALE AND PURCHASE OF ASSETS

Section 2.1 Sale and Purchase.

(a) Agreement. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, the Issuer hereby purchases, and the Originator hereby sells, transfers, sets over and conveys to the Issuer, without recourse except as provided herein, all of the Originator’s right, title and interest in and to the following:

(i) all Fee Receivables owned by the Originator at the close of business on the Business Day preceding the Closing Date or thereafter created and arising (collectively, the “Originator Fee Receivables”);

(ii) all Related Property with respect to the Originator Fee Receivables (collectively, the “Originator Fee Related Property”);

(iii) all Fee Collections;

(iv) all proceeds of and earnings on any of the foregoing;

it being understood and agreed that the Originator does not hereby sell, transfer or convey any of its right, title or interest in any KF Excluded Assets or KF Excluded Contracts.

The items listed above in clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv), whenever and wherever arising, are collectively referred to herein as the “Originator Fee Related Assets.” The Originator Fee Receivables and the Originator Fee Related Assets are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “Originator Fee Assets.”

As used herein, “Cartus Fee Receivables” means Originator Fee Receivables that are being Purchased or have been Purchased by the Issuer hereunder; “Cartus Fee Related Property” means Originator Fee Related Property that is being Purchased or has been Purchased by the Issuer hereunder; “Cartus Fee Related Assets” means Originator Fee Related Assets that are being Purchased or have been Purchased by the Issuer hereunder; and “Cartus Fee Purchased Assets” means Originator Fee Assets that are being Purchased or have been Purchased by the Issuer hereunder.

Schedule 2.1 sets forth a list of all Relocation Management Agreements subject to this Agreement (each, a “Pool Relocation Management Agreement”) as of the Closing Date. Each new Relocation Management Agreement that is not a KF Excluded Contract and that is entered into by the Originator during any month shall be added to the Pool Relocation Management Agreements on or after the last day of such month by delivering a written notice in

 

2


the form of Exhibit 2.1 to the Issuer or its designee, whereupon Schedule 2.1 shall be amended by the Originator to add such new Relocation Management Agreement to the list of Pool Relocation Management Agreements set forth therein. A copy of such Exhibit 2.1 appended to the Monthly Originator Report for such month, upon delivery to the Trustee, shall be sufficient evidence of inclusion. On or prior to the date of the delivery of any such notice, the Originator shall indicate, or cause to be indicated, in its computer files, books and records that the Cartus Fee Receivables and other Cartus Fee Purchased Assets then existing and thereafter created pursuant to or in connection with each such Pool Relocation Management Agreement are being transferred to the Issuer pursuant to this Agreement.

(b) Treatment of Certain Fee Receivables and Related Assets. It is expressly understood that (i) each Cartus Fee Receivable sold to the Issuer hereunder, together with all Cartus Fee Related Assets then existing or thereafter created and arising with respect thereto, will thereafter be the property of the Issuer (or its assignees), without the necessity of any further purchase or other action by the Issuer (other than satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein) and (ii) the change of a Fee Receivable’s status from that of Unbilled Receivable to Billed Receivable shall not be deemed the creation of a new Fee Receivable for any purpose.

Section 2.2 Purchases. On the Closing Date, the Issuer shall purchase all of the Originator’s right, title and interest in and to all Originator Fee Assets existing as of the close of business on the immediately preceding Business Day. On each Business Day thereafter until the Termination Date, the Issuer shall purchase all of the Originator’s right, title and interest in and to all Originator Fee Assets existing as of the close of business on the immediately preceding Business Day that were not previously purchased by the Issuer hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Insolvency Proceeding is pending with respect to either the Originator or the Issuer prior to the Termination Date, the Originator shall not sell, and the Issuer shall not buy, any Originator Fee Assets hereunder unless and until such Insolvency Proceeding is dismissed or otherwise terminated.

Section 2.3 No Assumption. The sales and Purchases of Cartus Fee Purchased Assets do not constitute and are not intended to result in a creation or an assumption by the Issuer or its successors and assigns of any obligation of the Originator or any other Person in connection with the Cartus Fee Purchased Assets (other than any such obligations as may arise solely from the ownership of Cartus Fee Purchased Assets) or under the related Contracts or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto, including without limitation any obligation to any Obligors or Transferred Employees. None of the Servicer, the Issuer or the Issuer’s assignees shall have any obligation or liability to any Obligor, Transferred Employee or other customer or client of the Originator (including without limitation any obligation to perform any of the obligations of the Originator under any Relocation Management Agreement, Home Purchase Contract, Cartus Related Property, Cartus Fee Related Property or any other agreement), except such obligations as may arise from the ownership of the Cartus Fee Purchased Assets. Except as expressly provided in Section 3.05(k) of the Servicing Agreement, no such obligation or liability to any Obligor, Transferred Employee or other customer or client of the Originator is intended to be assumed by the Servicer or its successors and assigns hereunder or under the Servicing Agreement, and any such assumption is expressly disclaimed.

 

3


Section 2.4 No Recourse. Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, the sale and Purchase of the Cartus Fee Purchased Assets under this Agreement shall be without recourse to the Originator; provided, however, that the Originator shall be liable to the Issuer and the Issuer’s assignees pursuant to the Transaction Documents for all representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities made by it pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party (it being understood that such obligations of the Originator will not arise solely on account of the credit related inability of an Obligor to pay a Fee Receivable).

Section 2.5 True Sales. The Originator and the Issuer intend the transfers of Cartus Fee Purchased Assets hereunder to be true sales by the Originator to the Issuer that are absolute and irrevocable and to provide the Issuer with the full benefits of ownership of the Cartus Fee Purchased Assets, and neither the Originator nor the Issuer intends the transactions contemplated hereunder to be, or for any purpose to be characterized as, loans from the Issuer to the Originator, secured by the Cartus Fee Purchased Assets.

Section 2.6 Servicing of Cartus Fee Purchased Assets. Consistent with the Issuer’s ownership of all Cartus Fee Purchased Assets and subject to the terms of the Pool Relocation Management Agreements, as between the parties to this Agreement, the Issuer shall have the sole right to service, administer and collect all Cartus Fee Purchased Assets, to assign such right and to delegate such right to others. In consideration of the Issuer’s purchase of the Cartus Fee Purchased Assets and as more fully set forth in Section 11.12, the Originator hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Issuer intends to assign for the benefit of the Issuer and its successors and assigns the rights and interests granted by the Originator to the Issuer hereunder, and agrees to cooperate fully with the Issuer and its successors and assigns in the exercise of such rights.

Section 2.7 Financing Statements. In connection with the transfer described above, the Originator agrees, at its expense, to record and file financing statements (and continuation statements when applicable) with respect to the Cartus Fee Purchased Assets conveyed by the Originator meeting the requirements of applicable law in such manner and in such jurisdictions as are necessary to perfect and maintain the perfection of the transfer and assignment of its interest in the Cartus Fee Purchased Assets to the Issuer, and to deliver a file stamped copy of each such financing statement or other evidence of such filing to the Issuer as soon as practicable after the Closing Date.

Section 2.8 Quitclaim. This Agreement provides that the Cartus Fee Purchased Assets arising on or before April 10, 2007 (the “Amendment Date”) have been transferred by the Originator to the Issuer. To further evidence the intent of the parties hereto that all right, title and interest in and to the Cartus Fee Purchased Assets is being sold and assigned to the Issuer pursuant to this Agreement as amended by that certain Fifth Omnibus Amendment dated as of the Amendment Date, the Originator hereby irrevocably quitclaims, sells, transfers, assigns, and otherwise conveys to the Issuer all right, title and interest that it may have or be deemed to have in or to any of the Cartus Fee Purchased Assets arising on or before the Amendment Date.

Section 4.1 Fee Purchase Price Payments. On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the Issuer shall pay to the Originator on the Closing Date the Fee Purchase Price for the Cartus Fee Purchased Assets sold on such date. On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the Issuer shall pay to the Originator, on each other Business Day on which any Cartus Fee Purchased Assets are purchased from the Originator by the Issuer pursuant to Article II, the Fee Purchase Price for such Cartus Fee Purchased Assets .

Section 4.2 Payments and Computations, Etc. All amounts to be paid by the Originator to the Issuer hereunder shall be paid in accordance with the terms hereof no later than close of business on the day when due in United States dollars in immediately available funds to an account specified in writing from time to time by the Issuer or its designee. Payments received by the Issuer after such time shall be deemed to have been received on the next Business Day. If any payment becomes due on a day that is not a Business Day, then such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day. The Originator shall pay to the Issuer, on demand, interest on all amounts not paid when due hereunder at a rate equal to the Prime Rate plus 2% per annum; provided, however, that such interest rate shall not at any time exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law.

All payments made under this Agreement shall be made without set-off or counterclaim.

Section 4.3 Originator Adjustments.

(a) With respect to any Originator Fee Receivable purchased by the Issuer from the Originator, if on any day the Issuer (or its assigns), the Servicer or the Originator determines that (i) such Originator Fee Receivable (A) was not identified by the Originator as other than an Eligible Receivable on the Business Day such Receivable was sold hereunder or (B) was otherwise treated by the Originator as or represented by the Originator to be an Eligible Receivable in any Monthly Originator Report or Weekly Activity Report, as applicable, but was not in fact an Eligible Receivable on such date or (ii) any of the representations or warranties set forth in Section 6.1(d) or 6.1(k) was not true when made with respect to such Receivable or the related Equity Related Assets (each such Originator Fee Receivable described in clause (i) or clause (ii), a “Noncomplying Fee Asset”), then the Originator shall pay the aggregate Unpaid Balance of such Originator Fee Receivables (such payment, a “Noncomplying Fee Asset Adjustment”) to the Issuer in accordance with Section 4.3(c).

(b) If on any day the Unpaid Balance of any Originator Fee Receivable is reduced as a result of any Concession made by the Originator, then the Originator shall pay to the Issuer the amount of such reduction (such payment, an “Originator Fee Dilution Adjustment”) to the Issuer in accordance with Section 4.3(c).

(c) On each Business Day, the Originator shall pay to the Issuer, in cash in accordance with Section 4.2, an amount (an “Originator Fee Adjustment”) equal to the sum of (A) the aggregate Originator Fee Dilution Adjustment, if any, for each day from and including the immediately preceding Business Day plus (B) the Noncomplying Fee Asset Adjustment, if any, for each day from and including the immediately preceding Business Day. The Originator Fee Receivables that gave rise to any Originator Fee Dilution Adjustment and any related Originator Fee Related Assets shall remain the property of the Issuer. From and after the day on which any Noncomplying Fee Asset Adjustment is made, any collections received by the Issuer that are identified as proceeds of the Originator Fee Receivables that gave rise to such Noncomplying Fee Asset Adjustment and any Originator Fee Related Property with respect to such Receivable shall be promptly returned to the Originator.

7

(g) Governmental Approvals. Except where the failure to obtain or make such authorization, consent, order, approval or action could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (i) all authorizations, consents, orders and approvals of, or other actions by, any Governmental Authority that are required to be obtained by the Originator in connection with the conveyance of the Cartus Fee Purchased Assets transferred hereunder on and after such date, including approval by the United States Government of the assignments of Cartus’s government contracts and approval by other non governmental or quasi governmental entities of assignments of Originator’s contracts with such non governmental or quasi governmental entities (to the extent such contracts are included as Pool Relocation Management Contracts hereunder), or the due execution, delivery and performance by the Originator of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents to which it is a party have

 

8


been obtained or made and are in full force and effect and (ii) all filings with any Governmental Authority that are required to be obtained in connection with such conveyance and the execution and delivery by the Originator of this Agreement have been made.

(h) Margin Regulations. The Originator is not engaged, principally or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock (within the meanings of Regulations T, U and X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System). The proceeds of the sales hereunder will not be used, directly or indirectly, to purchase or carry margin stock or to extend credit to others for such purposes.

(i) Taxes. The Originator has filed (or there have been filed on its behalf as a member of a consolidated group) all tax returns and reports required by law to have been filed by it and has paid all taxes, assessments and governmental charges thereby shown to be owing by it, other than any such taxes, assessments or charges that are being diligently contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, for which adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP have been set aside on its books and that have not given rise to any Liens (other than Permitted Liens).

(j) Solvency. After giving effect to the conveyance of Cartus Fee Purchased Assets hereunder on such date, the Originator is Solvent and able to pay its debts as they come due and has adequate capital to conduct its business as presently conducted.

(k) Quality of Title/Valid Transfers.

(i) Immediately before the Purchase to be made by the Issuer hereunder on such date, each Cartus Purchased Asset to be sold to the Issuer shall be owned by the Originator free and clear of any Lien (other than any Permitted Lien), and the Originator shall have made all filings and shall have taken all other action under applicable law in each relevant jurisdiction in order to protect and perfect the ownership interest of the Issuer and its successors and assigns in such Cartus Fee Purchased Assets against all creditors of, and purchasers from, the Originator (subject to Permitted Exceptions).

(ii) With respect to each Cartus Fee Receivable transferred hereunder on such date, the Issuer shall acquire a valid and (subject to Permitted Exceptions) perfected ownership interest in such Cartus Fee Receivable and any identifiable proceeds thereof, free and clear of any Lien (other than any Permitted Liens).

(iii) Immediately prior to the sale of a Cartus Purchased Asset hereunder on such date, no effective financing statement or other instrument similar in effect that covers all or part of any Cartus Purchased Asset or any interest therein is on file in any recording office except such as may be filed (A) in favor of the Originator in accordance with the Pool Relocation Management Agreements, (B) in favor of the Issuer pursuant to this Agreement or (C) in favor of the Issuer’s successors and assigns pursuant to the Indenture or otherwise filed by or at the direction of the Issuer’s successors and assigns.

 

9


(iv) The Fee Purchase Price constitutes reasonably equivalent value for the Cartus Fee Purchased Assets conveyed in consideration therefor on such date, and no purchase of an interest in such Cartus Fee Purchased Assets by the Issuer from the Originator constitutes a fraudulent transfer or fraudulent conveyance under the United States Bankruptcy Code or applicable state bankruptcy or insolvency laws or is otherwise void or voidable or subject to subordination under similar laws or principles or for any other reason.

(l) Eligible Receivables. Each Cartus Fee Receivable included in the Cartus Fee Purchased Assets transferred hereunder on such date, unless otherwise identified to the Issuer or the Servicer by the Originator, is an Eligible Receivable on such date.

(m) Accuracy of Information. All written information furnished by the Originator to the Issuer or its successors and assigns pursuant to or in connection with any Transaction Document or any transaction contemplated herein or therein with respect to the Cartus Fee Purchased Assets transferred hereunder on such date is true and correct in all material respects on such date.

(n) Offices. The principal place of business and chief executive office of the Originator is located, and the offices where the Originator keeps all Cartus Fee Records (and all original documents relating thereto) are located, at the addresses specified in Schedule 6.1(n), except that Cartus Fee Records relating to any Pool Relocation Management Agreement and the Fee Receivables arising thereunder or in connection therewith may be maintained at the offices of the related Employer.

(o) Payment Instructions to Obligors. The Originator has instructed (i) all Obligors to remit all payments on the Cartus Fee Purchased Assets directly to one of the Lockboxes or Lockbox Accounts and (ii) all Lockbox Banks to deposit all Fee Collections remitted to a Lockbox directly to the related Lockbox Account.

(p) Investment Company Act. The Originator is not, and is not controlled by, (and by reason of the execution and delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby will not be, and will not become) an “investment company” registered or required to be registered under the Investment Company Act.

(q) [Reserved].

(r) ERISA. The Originator and each ERISA Affiliate are in compliance with the minimum funding requirements of ERISA. Each Plan is in compliance with all applicable material provisions of ERISA, and the Originator or the relevant ERISA Affiliate has received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service that each Plan intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code is so qualified. No Plan has incurred an “accumulated funding deficiency” (within the meaning of Section 302 of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code), whether or not waived. Neither the Originator nor any ERISA Affiliate (i) has incurred or expects to incur any liability under Title IV of ERISA with respect to any Plan that could give rise to a lien in favor of the PBGC other than liability for the payment of premiums,

 

10


all of which have been timely paid when due in accordance with Section 4007 of ERISA, (ii) has incurred or expects to incur any withdrawal liability within the meaning of Section 4201 of ERISA, (iii) is subject to any lien under Section 412(n) of the Code or Sections 302(f) or 4068 of ERISA or arising out of any action brought under Sections 4070 or 4301 of ERISA or (iv) is required to provide security to a Plan under Section 401(a)(29) of the Code. The PBGC has not instituted proceedings to terminate any Plan or to appoint a trustee or administrator of any such Plan, and no circumstances exist that constitute grounds under Section 4042 of ERISA to commence any such proceedings. Neither the Originator nor any ERISA Affiliate that is a subsidiary of Realogy is, or at any time during the past five years was, a member of, or makes, or has at any time during the past five years made, contributions to, any Multiemployer Plan. No ERISA Affiliate that is not a subsidiary of Realogy is, or at any time during the past five years was, a member of, or makes, or has at any time during the past five years made, contributions to, any Multiemployer Plan, in each case where any such action could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(s) Legal Names. Except as described in Schedule 6.1(s), since January 1, 1995, the Originator (i) has not been known by any legal name other than its corporate name as of the date hereof, except as otherwise permitted pursuant to Section 7.3(d), (ii) has not been the subject of any merger or other corporate reorganization that resulted in a change of name, identity or corporate structure and (iii) has not used any trade names other than its actual corporate name.

(t) Compliance with Applicable Laws. The Originator is in compliance with the requirements of all applicable Requirements of Law a violation of any of which, individually or in the aggregate for all such violations, is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(u) Credit and Collection Policy; No Material Adverse Change. The copy of the Credit and Collection Policy of the Originator attached as Exhibit 6.1(u) to this Agreement is a true and complete copy thereof. As of the date each Cartus Purchased Asset is transferred hereunder, the Originator has complied in all applicable material respects with the Credit and Collection Policy with respect to such Cartus Purchased Asset transferred on such date and the related Contract. There has been no material change to the Credit and Collection Policy and since January 31, 2002 there has been no material adverse change in the financial condition, results of operations or operating condition of the Originator, in either case that would be reasonably likely to adversely affect the collectibility of any material portion of the Cartus Fee Receivables or other Cartus Fee Purchased Assets or to decrease the credit quality of any newly created Cartus Fee Receivables or other Cartus Fee Purchased Assets.

Section 6.2 Representations and Warranties of the Issuer. The Issuer hereby represents and warrants, on and as of the date hereof and on and as of the Closing Date, that (a) this Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Issuer and constitutes the Issuer’s valid, binding and legally enforceable obligation, except (i) as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (ii) as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity, regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law, (b) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement does not violate any federal, state, local or foreign law applicable to the Issuer or any agreement to which the Issuer is a party and (c) all of the outstanding capital stock of the Issuer is directly or indirectly owned by the Originator, and all such capital stock is fully paid and nonassessable.

The Originator will instruct all Obligors to submit all payments on the Cartus Fee Purchased Assets either (A) to one of the Lockboxes maintained at the Lockbox Banks for deposit in a Lockbox Account or (B) directly to one of the Lockbox Accounts. The Originator will direct all Obligors with respect to receivables and related assets that are not Cartus Fee Receivables to deposit all collections in respect of such receivables and related assets in an account that is not a Lockbox or Lockbox Account and will take such other steps as the Issuer reasonably may request to ensure that all collections on such receivables and related assets will be segregated from Fee Collections.

(i) Payment of Taxes. The Originator will file (or there will be filed on its behalf as a member of a consolidated group) all tax returns and reports required by law to be

 

13


filed by it and will pay all taxes, assessments and governmental charges thereby shown to be owing by it, except for any such taxes, assessments or charges that are being diligently contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, for which adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP have been set aside on its books and that have not given rise to any Liens (other than Permitted Liens).

(j) Accounting for Certain Assets. To the extent permitted by applicable law and GAAP, the Originator will maintain and prepare its financial statements and records in accordance with GAAP.

(k) Fee Receivables Reviews. Upon reasonable prior notice, the Originator will permit the Issuer or its assignees (or other Persons designated by the Issuer from time to time) or their agents or representatives (including without limitation certified public accountants or other auditors), at the expense of the Originator and during regular business hours, (i) to examine and make copies of and abstracts from, and to conduct accounting reviews of, all Cartus Fee Records in the possession or under the control of the Originator, including without limitation the related Contracts, invoices and other documents related thereto and (ii) to visit the offices and properties of the Originator for the purpose of examining any materials described in the preceding clause (i) and to discuss matters relating to the Cartus Fee Receivables or the other Cartus Fee Purchased Assets or the performance by the Originator of its obligations under any Transaction Document to which it is a party with any Authorized Officers of the Originator having knowledge of such matters or with the Originator’s certified public accountants or other auditors; provided, however, that all such reviews will occur no more frequently than twice per year (with only the first such review in any year being at the Originator’s expense) unless Cartus is the Servicer and a Servicer Default has occurred and is continuing.

(l) Computer Software, Hardware and Services. The Originator will provide the Issuer and its assignees with such licenses, sublicenses and/or assignments of contracts as the Servicer, the Issuer or the Issuer’s assignees require with respect to all services and computer hardware or software that relate to the servicing of the Cartus Fee Receivables or the other Cartus Fee Purchased Assets; provided, however, that with respect to any computer software licensed from a third party, the Originator will be required to provide such licenses, sublicenses and/or assignments of such software only to the extent that provision of the same would not violate the terms of any contracts of the Originator with such third party (the Originator hereby representing that no such provision would violate the terms of any current such contract).

(m) [Reserved]

(n) Turnover of Collections. If the Originator or any of its agents or representatives at any time receives any cash, checks or other instruments constituting Fee Collections, such recipient will segregate and hold such payments in trust for, and in a manner acceptable to, the Servicer and will, promptly upon receipt (and in any event within one Business Day following receipt) remit all such cash, checks and instruments, duly endorsed or with duly executed instruments of transfer, to a Lockbox Account.

(o) Performance and Compliance by Originator with Relocation Management Agreements. The Originator will timely and fully perform and comply with all provisions, covenants and other promises required to be observed by it under the Pool Relocation Management Agreements.

 

14


(p) Compliance with Credit and Collection Policy. The Originator will comply in all applicable material respects with the Credit and Collection Policy with respect to each Cartus Purchased Asset and will not take any action in violation of the Credit and Collection Policy with respect to any other Cartus Fee Purchased Asset.

(a) any representation or warranty made by the Originator under any of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, or any information or report delivered by the Originator (including in its capacity as Servicer) with respect to the Originator or the Cartus Fee Purchased Assets, having been untrue or incorrect in any respect when made or deemed to have been made;

(b) the failure by the Originator to comply with any material applicable Requirement of Law, with respect to any Cartus Fee Purchased Asset or any failure of a Cartus Fee Purchased Asset to comply with any such material Requirement of Law as of the date of sale of such Cartus Fee Purchased Asset hereunder;

(c) the failure to vest and maintain in the Issuer a valid ownership interest in the Cartus Fee Purchased Assets, free and clear of any Lien arising through or under it (including without limitation any such failure arising from a circumstance described in the definition of Permitted Exceptions);

(d) any failure of the Originator to perform its duties or obligations in accordance with the provisions of the Transaction Documents or any Contract, in each case to which it is a party;

(e) the failure to file, or any delay in filing, financing statements or other similar instruments or documents under the UCC of any applicable jurisdiction or other applicable laws with respect to the transfer of any Cartus Fee Purchased Assets to the Issuer, whether at the time of any sale or at any subsequent time;

(f) the failure by the Originator to pay when due any taxes owing by it (including without limitation sales, excise or property taxes) payable in connection with the Cartus Fee Purchased Assets, other than any such taxes, assessments or charges that are being diligently contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, for which adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP have been set aside on its books and that have not given rise to any Liens (other than Permitted Liens);

(g) any reduction in the Unpaid Balance of any Fee Receivable included in the Cartus Fee Purchased Assets as a result of any Concession made by the Originator or any Affiliate thereof (other than CRC or the Issuer);

 

24


(h) any product liability, strict liability or personal injury claim in connection with the service (other than any service provided by CRC or the Issuer or their assignees) that is the subject of any Cartus Fee Purchased Asset; and

(i) any investigation, litigation or proceeding related to any use by Cartus of the proceeds of any Purchase made hereunder.

Notwithstanding the foregoing (and with respect to clause (ii) below, without prejudice to the rights that the Issuer may have pursuant to the other provisions of this Agreement or the provisions of any of the other Transaction Documents), in no event shall any Cartus Indemnified Party be indemnified for any Cartus Indemnified Losses (i) resulting from negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Cartus Indemnified Party, (ii) to the extent the same includes losses in respect of Cartus Fee Purchased Assets and reimbursement therefor that would constitute credit recourse to the Originator for the amount of any Cartus Fee Receivable not paid by the related Obligor or (iii) resulting from the action or omission of the Servicer (unless the Servicer is the Originator or an Affiliate thereof (other than CRC or the Issuer)).

If for any reason the indemnification provided in this Section 10.1 is unavailable to an Cartus Indemnified Party or is insufficient to hold an Cartus Indemnified Party harmless, then the Originator shall contribute to the maximum amount payable or paid to such Cartus Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by such Cartus Indemnified Party on the one hand and the Originator on the other hand, but also the relative fault of such Cartus Indemnified Party and the Originator, and any other relevant equitable considerations.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any representations, warranties and covenants made by the Seller in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents that are qualified by or limited to events or circumstances that have, or are reasonably likely to have, given rise to a Material Adverse Effect shall (solely for purposes of the indemnification obligations set forth in this Section 10.1) be deemed not to be so qualified or limited.

Section 10.2 Security Interest. Without prejudice to the provisions of Section 2.1 providing for the absolute transfer of the Originator’s interest in the Cartus Fee Purchased Assets and the proceeds thereof to the Issuer, in order to secure the prompt payment and performance of all obligations of the Originator to the Issuer and the Issuer’s assignees arising in connection with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, whether now or hereafter existing, due or to become due, direct or indirect, or absolute or contingent, the Originator hereby assigns and grants to the Issuer a first priority security interest in the Originator’s right, title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, if any, in, to and under all of the Cartus Fee Purchased Assets and the proceeds thereof.
