(c) | The Company undertakes not to disclose to any Approved Debtor or any other person the status of any Receivable as an Eligible Receivable or the amount of or absence of any Protected Limit. |
(d) | The
Company acknowledges that in establishing Protected Limits, BNPP is not acting as a credit information agency as defined in the Consumer Credit Act 2006 and that BNPP has no obligation to the Company or any other person in relation to any Protected Limit, save as expressly provided in this Agreement. |
(e) | The terms of the Agency Agreement and Protected Limit Guidelines are incorporated into this Agreement and shall form part of this Agreement provided that where a term of the Agency Agreement and Protected Limit Guidelines conflicts with any term set forth in this Agreement, the term set forth in this Agreement

to |
(b) | If the Protected Limit Threshold has been exceeded or is due to be exceeded in respect of any Debt, the Company must, unless BNPP has notified

(c) | BNPP will notify the Company of its application decision as soon as reasonably practicable but (for the avoidance of doubt) shall not be obliged

(e) | BNPP
may at its absolute discretion, by written notice, reduce or cancel any Protected Limits at any time. Such reduction or cancellation shall be immediately effective upon the Company's receipt of the notice, except that no reduction or cancellation shall affect any Purchased Receivable which has been purchased before the giving of notice to the Company of such reduction or cancellation. |

(b) | On BNPP’s unconditional receipt into the BNPP Account of the Recourse Price (in cleared funds), BNPP shall if so requested by the Company in writing, execute such documents as may be necessary to re-assign such rights BNPP may have in respect of the Purchased Receivable to the Company,
upon which the ownership of the Purchased Receivable shall be re-assigned to the Company and BNPP shall have no further obligations or liabilities in respect of such Purchased Receivable. |
(c) | The Company shall be responsible for and hereby covenants to pay for any and all costs and expenses incurred by the Company or BNPP (to the extent in the case of BNPP, such costs and expenses are reasonably and properly incurred by BNPP) in order to effect or

(d) | If following the Company’s receipt of the written notice as contemplated in clause 4.5(a) above the Company does not pay or has not paid to BNPP the Recourse Price (as the case may be) on or before the Expected Payment Date relating to the Purchased Receivable referred to in clause 4.5(a)
above, then the Company shall pay interest at the Default Rate on such outstanding amount during the period starting with (but excluding) the Expected Payment Date. |
(e) | Payment by, or on behalf of the Company in full of the relevant Recourse Price (together with any interest payable in accordance with clause 4.4(d) above) shall remedy the occurrence of any Recourse Event in respect of a Purchased Receivable. |
