Each Purchaser Agent which has a related Purchaser shall promptly thereafter (but in no event later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the proposed date of purchase) notify the Seller and the Administrative Agent whether such respective Purchaser has determined to make a purchase and, if so, whether all of the terms specified by the Seller are acceptable to such Purchaser and the yield with respect to such purchase and the amount of interest that will be due for the related Settlement Period. If (a) a Purchaser has determined not to make a proposed purchase, or (b) a Purchaser Agent does not have a related Purchaser, the respective Purchaser Agent shall promptly send notice of the proposed purchase to all of the Related Banks of such Purchaser Agent concurrently specifying the date of such purchase, each such Bank’s Percentage multiplied by the aggregate amount of Capital of the Receivable Interests in the Pool Receivables being purchased, and, except with respect to any purchase being made by ST, PNC or, BMO or TD (in their respective capacities as a Bank), the Assignee Rate for the Fixed Period for such Receivable Interest in the Pool Receivables and the duration of the Fixed Period for such Receivable Interest in the Pool Receivables.

A Delaying Bank may not object to its funding obligation of Delayed Funds under Section 1.02(e)(vi) on the basis of the failure of the Seller to satisfy the conditions precedent set forth in Exhibit II hereto unless such Delaying Bank has delivered a written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Seller expressing its objections to the proposed purchase on or prior to the Original Date of such purchase applicable to Non-Delaying Banks.
(c) Effective on the date of each purchase pursuant to this Section 1.02 and each reinvestment pursuant to Section 1.04, the Seller hereby sells and assigns to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the parties making such purchase, an undivided percentage ownership interest, to the extent of the Receivable Interests then being purchased, in each Pool Receivable then existing and in the Related Security and Collections with respect to, and other proceeds of, such Pool Receivable and Related Security.
