3. SCOPE, AVAILABILITY AND MODIFICATIONS

3.1 Scope of Service. The Service is intended to enable transactions between the Supplier, the Buyer(s) and/or any Funder (as applicable) as principals and C2FO does not act for or represent in any way either the Supplier, any Buyers or Funder (as applicable). C2FO is not a party to, third party beneficiary of (other than pursuant to the terms of any Receivables Purchase Agreement), or a guarantor of performance with respect to any transaction, agreement or arrangement concluded between the Supplier, any Buyer or Funder using the Service. Specifically, (i) C2FO does not control the quality, safety, legality or availability of the content or services accessed through the Service, the terms and conditions on which the Content, goods, and/or related services accessed are provided, or the Suppliers’ compliance with any agreement that it may execute with a Buyer; (ii) C2FO undertakes no duties to receive or distribute any payments agreed by the Supplier, any Buyer or Funder; and (iii) under no circumstances shall C2FO in any manner obtain an interest in, or otherwise be deemed to be within the chain of title of, any Content, goods, and/or related services accessed of the Supplier. Supplier acknowledges that C2FO takes no responsibility for the terms and conditions governing the provision of any Supplier Content, goods, and/or related services. The Supplier shall address any issues arising from any transaction, agreement or arrangement concluded between the Supplier, any Buyers and Funder using the Service exclusively with the relevant Buyer and/or Funder (as applicable) and shall not hold C2FO responsible or liable in any way for the actions or omissions of any Buyers. The Supplier agrees that all C2FO Market Closings will be held on a business day for the respective Buyer.

3.2 Effect of using the Service.

a) The Supplier acknowledges and agrees that the effect of using the Service and obtaining Accelerated Payment in relation to the relevant Approved Invoice results in either (i) the Supplier selling the Funded Invoices to a Funder pursuant to the applicable Receivables Purchase Agreement or (ii) the Supplier and Buyer varying any agreed payment terms solely related to that Approved Invoice made available through the Service to give effect to this paragraph a), as applicable. The Supplier agrees that (i) such sale or variation, as applicable, is effective as to and enforceable against the Supplier and the applicable Buyer with regard to each Funded Invoice, notwithstanding any formalities for amendment required by the terms of the relevant Approved Invoice, and (ii) the applicable Buyer shall be obliged to make all payments in respect of such Funded Invoice in accordance with the terms of such Funded Invoice and the terms of any relevant Receivables Purchase Agreement (if applicable).

b) It is always the Supplier’s decision whether to request Accelerated Payment of an Approved Invoice. To the extent that such Accelerated Payment corresponds to a sale of such Funded Invoice to the Funder, such request for Accelerated Payment shall be a Request (as defined in the applicable Receivables Purchase Agreement) and upon the delivery of a Request by Supplier with respect to such sale of certain Receivables (as defined in the applicable Receivables Purchase Agreement) and the Acceptance (as defined in the applicable Receivables Purchase Agreement) of such Request by a Buyer (as defined in the applicable Receivables Purchase Agreement), in each case in accordance with the applicable Receivables Purchase Agreement, the terms and conditions of the applicable Receivables Purchase Agreement shall apply to such transaction and the Purchased Receivables (as defined in the applicable Receivables Purchase Agreement).

c) The Supplier expressly acknowledges and agrees that the Funder’s provision of funding in the form of purchases under any Receivables Purchase Agreement is uncommitted and that the Funder shall not, at any point, have any obligation to purchase Funded Invoices in full or in part of an Accelerated Payment, nor shall the Funder be liable for any delay in any Accelerated Payment or any other payment in connection with the Services.

d) If (i) Supplier makes a request for Accelerated Payment with respect to any Approved Invoice, and (ii) a Funder communicates its acceptance of such request to the Site, the Supplier will be deemed to have made a Request (as defined in the RP Terms) under the applicable Receivables Purchase Agreement with respect to the relevant Proposed Receivables (as defined in the RP Terms) and a receivables purchase agreement in the form of the RP Terms shall be entered into as of the date of such acceptance between Supplier (as seller under the applicable Receivables Purchase Agreement) and the relevant Funder (as buyer under the applicable receivables purchase agreement) (a “Receivables Purchase Agreement”) and the applicable Approved Invoice will be sold to such Funder pursuant to the applicable Receivables Purchase Agreement. All subsequent requests by such Supplier for Accelerated Payment of any other Approved Invoices in relation to which such Funder communicates its acceptance to the Site will be deemed to be Requests and Acceptances (each as defined in the RP Terms) under the applicable Receivables Purchase Agreement.

e) The Supplier acknowledges and agrees that, with respect to those Funded Invoices that have been sold to a Funder, the relevant Funder has purchased pursuant to the applicable Receivables Purchase Agreement a right to get paid an amount equal to the approved amount of the Funded Invoice on the due date for such Funded Invoice by the relevant Buyer.

f) The Supplier expressly acknowledges and agrees that, if the Buyer makes an Accelerated Payment, (i) the Supplier accepts any Accelerated Payment in full and final settlement of any Funded Invoice; (ii) the Supplier accepts and agrees that the Accelerated Payment discharges and satisfies in full any amount claimed under such Funded Invoice; (iii) the Supplier waives its rights to claim the amount specified in such Approved Invoice in return for the Accelerated Payment. If neither the Buyer nor the Funder have made an Accelerated Payment as contemplated by this Agreement, the relevant Approved Invoice shall remain payable to the applicable Supplier by the applicable Buyer in accordance with its applicable terms.

g) Supplier acknowledges that it may be required to submit documents to the Buyer and/or the Funder in order to comply with applicable market tax laws and regulations. In the event any requested documents are not provided in the timeline specified by either the Buyer, the Funder or C2FO, the Supplier may not receive early payment of their invoice(s).

h) The Award File may require the Supplier, where appropriate, to post an adjustment to its tax records (for example, in relation to turnover taxes such as VAT, GST or equivalent local sales taxes referred to hereafter as ‘VAT/GST’). If this is the case, the Supplier may in certain countries, subject to local VAT/GST regulations in the relevant country, treat the Award File as an appropriate document to adjust VAT/GST records. The responsibility to ensure that there is an appropriate document to adjust VAT/GST records, subject to relevant local VAT/GST regulations, rests solely with the Supplier. In some countries, the Award File may not show an updated VAT amount as it is not appropriate to adjust the relevant tax amount charged on the original Supplier invoice. Please note that the responsibility of ensuring that an accurate VAT/GST adjustment is posted in the Supplier’s VAT records rests solely with the Supplier and is not C2FO’s responsibility. In particular, where the Supplier has not charged VAT/GST on the original invoice, and consequently the Award File shows no VAT adjustment, it is the Supplier’s sole responsibility to ensure that any manual VAT/GST adjustments, which may be required under domestic legislation, are made to the relevant VAT/GST records. By accepting this clause the Supplier acknowledges that both the Buyer and the Supplier have authorized C2FO to issue the Award File on their behalf whilst clearly showing the Buyer and Supplier names and other relevant details.

3.3 Availability of Service. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary stated herein, the Supplier acknowledges and agrees that the availability of the Service is subject to the availability of connection services to and within the Internet and to other network functions within and around the Internet and that the Internet, by its nature, is not fault-tolerant and C2FO shall not have any liability for any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of this Agreement that arises out of or relates to the unavailability of such connection services and other network functions for whatever reason.

3.4 Modification of Service. The Supplier understands and agrees that C2FO may modify the Service, their names, or the manner in which the Service is made available, and that those modifications may create differences in how the Supplier accesses the Service. The Supplier further understands and agrees that, upon reasonable advance written notice to the Supplier, C2FO reserves the right to replace any of the Service with services offering the same or more functionality than its predecessor.

3.5 Supplier Services. Where agreed to in the sign up process or as otherwise agreed between the Parties, C2FO will provide the Supplier Services to the Supplier.

3.6 Indemnity. The Supplier shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless C2FO and its directors, officers, members, managers and employees from and against all claims, actions, liabilities, losses, expenses, damages and costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), that may at any time be incurred by reason of claim from any third party arising out of or relating to a breach of this Agreement by the Supplier; any claim from a Buyer arising out of the Supplier’s use or misuse of the Service, or any claim that is inconsistent with a Supplier’s representations or warranties to C2FO contained in this Agreement.

2. Sale and Purchase.

Buyer, in its sole discretion and without any commitment or obligation of any kind whatsoever, may elect to accept or reject a Request. If Buyer elects to accept (in its sole discretion) a Request in relation to the relevant Proposed Receivables (as communicated by the Buyer to the Platform) such communication shall constitute an acceptance by Buyer to purchase the relevant Proposed Receivables from Seller for the relevant Purchase Price payment (“Acceptance”), and Buyer shall and upon such Acceptance hereby does purchase, and Seller shall and hereby does sell by assigning absolutely with full title guarantee to Buyer, all of Seller’s right, title and interest (but none of Seller’s underlying obligations to the applicable Account Debtor) with respect to such Proposed Receivables, and all Related Rights, Collections and proceeds with respect thereto (all Proposed Receivables from time to time (together with Related Rights, Collections and proceeds with respect thereto), once sold and purchased hereunder, collectively the “Purchased Receivables”).

(b) Trust. If any of Seller’s right, title and interest in any Purchased Receivable or any Related Rights, Collections or proceeds with respect thereto, is not transferred to Buyer by this Receivables Purchase Agreement for any reason, the relevant Seller hereby declares that it holds and will hold such rights, title and interest in such Purchased Receivable, Related Rights, Collections or other proceeds, as applicable, on trust absolutely for the benefit of Buyer.

(c) Purchase Price. The purchase price for a Purchased Receivable purchased on any Purchase Date (the “Purchase Price”) shall be the amount communicated to the Seller on the Platform as the applicable early payment amount. Buyer shall pay the Purchase Price, denominated in the currency in which the Purchased Receivable is notified to the Buyer by the Seller in the Request, to Seller’s account (notified by the Platform for this purpose) in immediately available funds. In the event that Buyer does not pay the Purchase Price prior to the date falling five (5) Business Days after Buyer’s Acceptance of a Request pursuant to paragraph (a) above, all of Buyer’s right, title, interest and benefit in the applicable Purchased Receivables shall be automatically reassigned back to Seller and Buyer shall have no liability under this Receivables Purchase Agreement for any non-payment. The Purchase Price payable by Buyer with respect to any Purchased Receivable shall be inclusive of all VAT that is or becomes chargeable on the sale and purchase of the Purchased Receivable and Buyer shall not be liable to pay any additional amount in respect of such VAT for the account of the relevant Seller.

(d) No Recourse.

(i) Except as otherwise provided in Section 6 hereof, each purchase of Purchased Receivables is made without recourse to Seller, and Seller shall have no liability to Buyer for Account Debtor’s failure to pay any Purchased Receivable when it is due and payable under the terms applicable thereto.

(ii) Buyer and Seller intend, and have structured, the transactions contemplated by this Receivables Purchase Agreement to take effect as an absolute and irrevocable sale, and Buyer and Seller each agree to treat each such transaction as a “true sale” for all purposes under applicable law. Seller will advise all persons inquiring about the ownership of the Receivables that all Purchased Receivables have been sold to Buyer.

(iii) Notwithstanding the intent of the parties hereunder, in the event that the transfers hereunder are recharacterized as other than a sale from Seller to the Buyer or any asset transferred hereunder is recharacterized as collateral for a secured loan or otherwise held to be property of Seller, or if for any other reason this Receivables Purchase Agreement is held or deemed to create a security interest in any Purchased Receivable (any of the foregoing, a “Recharacterization”), then in order to secure all of Seller’s obligations (monetary or otherwise) under this Receivables Purchase Agreement, whether now or hereafter existing or arising, due or to become due, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, Seller hereby grants to Buyer a security interest in all of Seller’s right, title and interest (including any undivided interest of Seller) in, to and under all of the following, as applicable, whether now or hereafter owned, existing or arising: (i) all Purchased Receivables from time to time and all Related Rights with respect thereto, (ii) all Collections with respect to such Purchased Receivables and (iii) all proceeds of, and all amounts received or receivable under any or all of, the foregoing. In the case of any Recharacterization, Seller represents and warrants that each remittance of Collections or proceeds with respect thereto by Seller to Buyer hereunder will have been (i) in payment of a debt incurred in the ordinary course of its business or financial affairs and (ii) made in the ordinary course of the business or financial affairs between Seller and Buyer. Seller hereby authorizes Buyer to, from time to time, file such UCC financing statements or make such other filings or security registrations as Buyer may determine to be necessary or desirable to perfect the foregoing security interest and the ownership interest created by the sales of Receivables hereunder.

(iv) Whether or not the expressed intent of the parties that the transfers hereunder constitute sales, is respected or recharacterized, the Buyer shall have, with respect to the Purchased Receivables, Related Rights and Collections, and proceeds thereof, and in addition to all the other rights and remedies available to the Buyer hereunder and under the Transaction Documents, all the rights and remedies of a secured party under any applicable UCC.

If a Recharacterization shall occur, then Seller agrees that ten (10) Business Days shall be reasonable prior notice to Seller of the date of any public or private sale or other disposition of all or any of the Receivables or Related Rights by the Buyer. For the avoidance of doubt, the grant of a security interest by Seller is not intended to prejudice any sale of Purchased Receivables undertaken pursuant to this Receivables Purchase Agreement.

This Receivables Purchase Agreement is a security agreement for purposes of the UCC.

(e) Authorisation to Collect Receivables, Etc. Seller (A) hereby acknowledges the right of Buyer, as owner of the Purchased Receivables, to collect all amounts due under any and all Purchased Receivables and authorizes Buyer, its designees and successors to take any and all steps in Seller’s name or on behalf of Seller necessary or desirable, in such Person’s determination, to collect all amounts due under any and all Purchased Receivables, including (i) endorsing Seller’s name on cheques and other instruments representing Collections on Purchased Receivables, (ii) enforcing such Purchased Receivables and the provisions of the related contracts that concern payment and/or enforcement of rights to payment, (iii) taking such actions under or in connection with the Platform and the Service Terms and Conditions relating to the Purchased Receivables, and (iv) notifying Account Debtors of Buyer’s ownership interest in the Purchased Receivables and (B) hereby authorizes the Provider as operator of the Platform (and any of its affiliates, successors and permitted assigns) to perform such relevant tasks and give any relevant payment direction via the Platform to ensure that any amounts due under any Purchased Receivables can be so collected and that any Account Debtors are so notified.

(f) Rights of Buyer in Purchased Receivables. As owner of the Purchased Receivables, Buyer shall have no obligation to account for, to replace, to substitute, to return or reassign (as applicable) any Purchased Receivables or Collections thereon to Seller.

Buyer shall have the unrestricted right to further assign, transfer, deliver, hypothecate, grant security in respect of, subdivide or otherwise deal with the Purchased Receivables on whatever terms Buyer shall determine other than Purchased Receivables which have been reassigned by Buyer to Seller in accordance with the terms hereof.

(b) Power of Attorney. Seller, by way of security, hereby irrevocably appoints Buyer and each of its successors and assigns as the true and lawful attorneys of Seller, with full power of substitution and delegation, and hereby authorizes and empowers Buyer and each of its successors and assigns in the name and on behalf of Seller at any time to take such actions and execute and deliver such documents, as Buyer or its successors or assigns (as applicable) deems necessary or advisable in connection with any Purchased Receivable (i) to exercise its rights, powers and discretions under the Transaction Documents and its rights, title and interests in the Purchased Receivables, (ii) to perfect the purchase and sale of Purchased Receivables, including to send a notice of such purchase and sale to the Account Debtor of the transfers contemplated hereby and the sale of the Purchased Receivables or (iii) to make collection of and otherwise realize the benefits of any Purchased Receivable, including without limitation, to take all actions under or in connection with the Platform and the Service Terms and Conditions relating to the Purchased Receivables.

then Seller shall promptly notify Buyer upon becoming aware of the occurrence of any such Event of Repurchase and Seller shall, within 2 Business Days of demand by Buyer, (x) repurchase such Purchased Receivable at the Repurchase Price or (y) if such Event of Repurchase has occurred as a result of a Dilution or a Dispute which has the effect (or which the Account Debtor claims has the effect) of reducing the Net Invoice Amount of such Purchased Receivable, repay an amount equal to the amount of such Dilution or reduction affecting such Purchased Receivable, or (z) if such Event of Repurchase has occurred as a result of the Purchased Receivable not being an enforceable payment obligation of the relevant Account Debtor for any reason, pay an amount equal to the Repurchase Price of that Purchased Receivable, and such Repurchase Price or payment shall be paid to the applicable Buyer’s Account in immediately available funds. For the avoidance of doubt, it is acknowledged that in no event shall the failure to make payment of a Purchased Receivable by an Account Debtor solely as a result of an Insolvency Event in respect of such Account Debtor or the general lack of creditworthiness of such Account Debtor cause the occurrence of an Event of Repurchase. Upon the payment in full of the Repurchase Price with respect to a Purchased Receivable (but for avoidance of doubt, not in the case where Seller is repaying an amount equal to a Dilution or any reduction in the Net Invoice Amount as a result of a Dispute, in which case Buyer will remain owner of the related Receivable) in accordance with the terms hereof, such Purchased Receivable shall hereby be, and be deemed to be, repurchased by and automatically reassigned to Seller from Buyer without recourse to or warranty by Buyer. Seller agrees that Buyer may set off against any unpaid obligation of Seller under this Section 6(a). The Repurchase Price or repayment payable by Seller shall be exclusive of all VAT and, accordingly, if any VAT is or becomes chargeable on any Repurchase Price or repayment of a Purchased Receivable in accordance with this Receivables Purchase Agreement and Buyer is required to account to the relevant taxing authority for such VAT, Seller shall pay to Buyer (in addition to and at the same time as paying the Repurchase Price or repayment) an amount equal to such VAT.

(b) Indemnity. Seller hereby agrees to indemnify Buyer and its officers, directors, agents, representatives, shareholders, counsel, employees and lenders (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all claims, losses, costs, expenses and liabilities (including reasonable and documented legal fees) (all of the foregoing being collectively referred to as “Indemnified Amounts”) arising out of or resulting from any of the following: (i) the sale to Buyer of any Receivable which purports to be a Purchased Receivable as to which the representations and warranties made herein are not true and correct on the relevant Purchase Date; (ii) any representation or warranty made or deemed made by Seller (or any of its officers) under or in connection with this Receivables Purchase Agreement was incorrect when made; (iii) the failure by Seller or any Purchased Receivable to comply with any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any failure by Seller to comply with any term, covenant or other provision of this Receivables Purchase Agreement or any Transaction Document; (iv) the failure of a Purchased Receivable (including all Related Rights and the proceeds and Collections in respect thereof) to vest in Buyer, free and clear of any security interests, liens, deemed trusts or encumbrances of any kind or nature whatsoever; (v) any Dispute or Dilution or any other claim related to such Purchased Receivable or the furnishing or failure to furnish services or merchandise or relating to collection activities with respect to such Purchased Receivable; (vi) the commingling by Seller of Collections in respect of any Purchased Receivable at any time with other funds of Seller or any other Person or instructing any Account Debtor to pay Collections in respect of any Purchased Receivable to any account other than the Buyer’s Account; (vii) any products liability claim, personal injury or property damage suit, environmental liability claim or any other claim or action by a party of whatever sort, whether in tort, contract or any other legal theory, arising out of or in connection with the goods or services that are the subject of any Purchased Receivable with respect thereto or (viii) this Receivables Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and the purchases by and owned by the Buyer of the Purchased Receivables pursuant to the terms hereof; provided, however, that in all events there shall be excluded from the foregoing indemnification any claims, losses or liabilities (x) resulting solely from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of such Indemnified Party as determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction or (y) resulting solely as the result of an Insolvency Event of an Account Debtor or the general lack of creditworthiness of such Account Debtor.

(c) Tax Indemnification.

(i) Any and all payments (of whatever nature) made to Buyer pursuant to this Receivables Purchase Agreement and any Transaction Document (including the payments on the Purchased Receivables from the Account Debtors) shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes other than as required by law. If any such Taxes are required by law to be deducted by Seller, or an Account Debtor, then: (x) in the case where the Seller is required to deduct such Taxes, (1) Seller shall pay such Taxes to the applicable taxing authority; and (2) Seller shall send the original or a certified copy of the receipt evidencing such tax payment, within 30 days of the payment date, to and as directed by Buyer; (y) in the case where an Account Debtor is required to deduct such Taxes, Seller shall immediately notify Buyer upon becoming aware of such Taxes having been deducted and shall use all reasonable efforts to obtain from the Account Debtor a certified copy of the receipt or other document evidencing payment of such Taxes and send such receipt or other document to Buyer upon receipt from the Account Debtor; and (z) where (x) applies, Seller shall increase the sum payable by any of them to Buyer; and where (y) applies, Seller shall pay to Buyer an amount equal to such Taxes so deducted by the Account Debtor so that, in each case, after the required deductions or withholdings have been made (including deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this paragraph (z)), Buyer shall receive an aggregate net sum equal to the sum it would have received had no deduction or withholding been made. In addition, Seller shall pay and indemnify and hold Buyer harmless from and against, any Taxes that may at any time be asserted in respect of the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated under any Transaction Document, and all reasonable costs, expenses and legal fees in defending against the same, whether arising by reason of the acts to be performed by Seller hereunder or otherwise, without duplication for any Taxes that Seller has paid pursuant to this Section 6(c). The Seller shall not be required to make an indemnity payment under this Section 6(c) with respect to any Taxes (A) imposed or calculated by reference to the net income received or receivable (but not any sum deemed to be received or receivable) by Buyer (x) under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Buyer is incorporated or organized or, if different, resident for tax purposes or in which the Buyer has a place of business or facility office in respect of amounts received or receivable in that jurisdiction, or (y) under the law of the jurisdiction in which any of Seller or an Account Debtor is incorporated or organized where such Taxes are imposed solely as a result of a present or former connection between Buyer and any such jurisdiction imposing such Taxes (other than connections arising solely from Buyer having executed, become a party to, performed its obligations under, received a payment under, or engaged in any other transaction pursuant to, or enforced by, any Transaction Document or (B) imposed by or pursuant to FATCA. All indemnifications required to be made under this Section 6(c) shall be made within ten (10) days from the date Buyer makes written demand.

(ii) All amounts expressed to be payable under any Transaction Document by the Seller to Buyer which (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for any supply for VAT purposes are deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable on that supply. If VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by Buyer to Seller under any Transaction Document and Buyer is required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, the Seller must pay to Buyer (in addition to and at the same time as paying any other consideration for such supply) an amount equal to the amount of the VAT (and Buyer must promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to the Seller). Where the Seller is required to reimburse or indemnify Buyer for any cost or expense, it shall reimburse or indemnify Buyer for the full amount of such cost or expense including such part thereof as represents VAT, save to the extent Buyer reasonably determines that it is entitled to credit or repayment in respect of such VAT from the relevant taxing authority.

(iii) Each party to this Receivables Purchase Agreement shall, within ten Business Days of a reasonable request by another party (x) confirm to that other party whether it is a FATCA Exempt Party or not a FATCA Exempt Party; (x) supply to that other party such forms, documentation and other information relating to its status under FATCA as that other party reasonably requests for the purposes of that other party’s compliance with FATCA; and (y) supply to that other party such forms, documentation and other information relating to its status as that other party reasonably requests for the purposes of that other party’s compliance with any other law, regulation, or exchange of information regime. If a party to this Receivables Purchase Agreement confirms to another such party pursuant to this paragraph (iv) that it is a FATCA Exempt Party and it subsequently becomes aware that it is not or has ceased to be a FATCA Exempt Party, that party shall notify that other party reasonably promptly. This paragraph shall not oblige any party to do anything which would or might in its reasonable opinion constitute a breach of any law or regulation, any fiduciary duty, or any duty of confidentiality. If a party fails to confirm whether or not it is a FATCA Exempt Party or to supply forms, documentation or other information requested in accordance with this Section 6(c)(iii) then such party shall be treated for the purposes of the Transaction Documents (and payments under them) as if it is not a FATCA Exempt Party until such time as the party in question provides the requested confirmation, forms, documentation or other information. Each party may make any FATCA Deduction it is required to make by FATCA, and any payment required in connection with that FATCA Deduction, and no party shall be required to increase any payment in respect of which it makes such a FATCA Deduction or otherwise compensate the recipient of the payment for that FATCA Deduction. Each party shall promptly, upon becoming aware that it must make a FATCA Deduction (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of such FATCA Deduction), notify the party to whom it is making the payment.

(d) Data Protection Indemnity. Seller hereby agrees to indemnify Buyer and its respective officers, directors, agents, representatives, shareholders, and employees from and against any and all claims, losses, costs, expenses and liabilities (including legal fees) incurred by such person as a result of Seller not complying with any Data Protection Legislation applicable to it or Seller not making or maintaining any notices, registrations or consents or taking any steps as are required for the purposes of any Data Protection Legislation applicable to it in order to permit the disclosure of personal data to and processing of the personal data by Buyer in the manner described in this Receivables Purchase Agreement.

(e) Set-Off. Seller further agrees that, unless Seller notifies Buyer in writing that it desires to pay on the date when due any amounts due under this Section 6 or any other fees, costs and expenses due under a Transaction Document and Seller makes such payment to Buyer in immediately available funds on such date such payment is due, Seller hereby irrevocably instructs and authorizes Buyer to set-off such amount against the Purchase Price of any Proposed Receivables to be purchased. No notification, act or consent of any nature whatsoever is required prior to the right of Buyer to exercise such right of set-off.

(f) UCC. The rights granted to Buyer hereunder are in addition to all other rights and remedies afforded to Buyer as a secured party under the UCC or any similar law in any jurisdiction applicable to the related Seller or the Servicer.

(g) Payments. Any payment due to be made to the Buyer pursuant to this Section 6 shall, unless otherwise instructed by the Buyer to the Seller, be made to the applicable Buyer’s Account in immediately available funds.

Seller agrees that Buyer may presume the authenticity, genuineness, accuracy, completeness and due execution of any Request and any electronic mail or facsimile communication (in case of such electronic mail or facsimile communication bearing a facsimile or scanned signature resembling a signature of an authorized Person of Seller) without further verification or inquiry by Buyer. Seller acknowledges and agrees that Buyer shall be deemed to be a third party beneficiary of and shall be entitled to enforce section 8.2 and any other provision applicable to the Buyer and the Purchased Receivables set forth in the Service Terms and Conditions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer in its sole discretion may elect not to act or rely upon such a communication and shall be entitled (but not obligated) to make inquiries or require further Seller action to authenticate any such communication.
