WHEREAS, the Seller intends to sell Receivables on the Closing Date, originated by Conn Appliances, Inc., or Conn Credit Corporation, Inc., (collectively, the “Originators” and each an “Originator”), to the Purchaser on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I
DEFINITIONS

SECTION 1.1 Certain Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Indenture. This Agreement is the First Receivables Purchase Agreement referred to in the Indenture. As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings (such meanings to be equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms of the terms defined):

“Business Day” shall mean a day on which each of Seller and Purchaser is open at its respective address specified in this Agreement for the purpose of conducting its business.

“Cash Purchase Price” has the meaning assigned to that term in Section 2.3(a).

“Contingent Liability” means any agreement, undertaking or arrangement by which any Person guarantees, endorses or otherwise becomes or is contingently liable upon (by direct or indirect agreement, contingent or otherwise, to provide funds for payment, to supply funds to, or otherwise to invest in, a debtor, or otherwise to assure a creditor against loss) the indebtedness, obligation or any other liability of any other Person (other than by endorsements of instruments in the course of collection), or guarantees the payment of dividends or other distributions upon the shares of any other Person. The amount of any Person’s obligation under any Contingent Liability shall (subject to any limitation set forth therein) be deemed to be the outstanding principal amount (or maximum outstanding principal amount, if larger) of the debt, obligation or other liability guaranteed thereby.

“Contract” means an Installment Contract related to a Receivable reflected on the Schedule of Receivables set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto.

“Date of Processing” means, with respect to any transaction, the date on which such transaction is first recorded in the Servicer’s computer files (without regard to the effective date of such recordation).

“Governmental Authority” means any government or political subdivision or any agency, authority, bureau, central bank, commission, department or instrumentality of any such government or political subdivision, or any court, tribunal, grand jury or arbitrator in each case whether foreign or domestic.

“Highest Lawful Rate” means the maximum nonusurious interest rate, if any, that at any time or from time to time may be contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received under this Agreement, under laws applicable to the Seller and the Purchaser that are presently in effect or, to the extent allowed by law, under such applicable laws that may hereafter be in effect and that allow a higher maximum nonusurious interest rate than applicable laws now allow.

“Initiation Date” shall mean, with respect to any Receivable, the date upon which such Receivable was originated.

“Purchase Date” means August 17, 2023.

“Purchase Price” has the meaning assigned to that term in Section 2.2.

“Receivable” means the indebtedness of any Obligor under a Contract reflected on the Schedule of Receivables set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto, whether constituting an account, chattel paper, an instrument, a general intangible, payment intangible, promissory note or otherwise, and shall include (i) the right to payment of such indebtedness and any interest or finance charges and other obligations of such Obligor with respect thereto (including, without limitation, the principal amount of such indebtedness, periodic finance charges, late fees and returned check fees), and (ii) all proceeds of, and payments or Collections on, under or in respect of any of the foregoing. If an Installment Contract is modified for credit reasons, the indebtedness under the new Installment Contract shall, for purposes of the Transaction Documents, constitute the same Receivable as existed under the original Installment Contract. If an Installment Contract is refinanced in connection with the purchase of additional Merchandise, the original Receivable shall be deemed collected and cease to be a Receivable for purposes of the Transaction Documents upon payment in accordance with Section 2.5 with respect thereto.

“Receivable File” means with respect to a Receivable, (i) the Installment Contract related to such Receivable, (ii) each UCC financing statement related thereto, if any, and (iii) the application, if any, of the related Obligor to obtain the financing extended by such Receivable; provided that such Receivable File may be converted to microfilm or other electronic media within six months after the Initiation Date for the related Receivable.

“Receivables Schedule” shall mean the receivables schedule (which may be in the form of a computer file or microfiche list) in the form of Schedule I.

“Recoveries” means, with respect to any period, all Collections (net of expenses) received during such period in respect of a Receivable after it became a Defaulted Receivable.

“Related Security” means, with respect to any Receivable, all guaranties, indemnities, insurance (including any insurance and repair service agreement proceeds and returned premiums) and other agreements (including the related Receivable File) or arrangement and other collateral of whatever character from time to time supporting or securing payment of such Receivable or otherwise relating to such Receivable (including any returned sales taxes).

“Solvent” means with respect to any Person that as of the date of determination both (A)(i) the then fair saleable value of the property of such Person is (y) greater than the total amount of liabilities (including Contingent Liabilities) of such Person and (z) not less than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liabilities on such Person’s then existing debts as they become absolute and matured considering all financing alternatives and potential asset sales reasonably available to such Person; (ii) such Person’s capital is not unreasonably small in relation to its business or any contemplated or undertaken transaction; and (iii) such Person does not intend to incur, or believe (nor should it reasonably believe) that it will incur, debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they become due; and (B) such Person is “solvent” within the meaning given that term and similar terms under applicable laws relating to fraudulent transfers and conveyances. For purposes of this definition, the amount of any contingent liability at any time shall be computed as the amount that, in light of all of the facts and circumstances existing at such time, represents the amount that can reasonably be expected to become an actual or matured liability.

SECTION 1.2 Accounting and UCC Terms. All accounting terms not specifically defined herein shall be construed in accordance with GAAP applied on a basis consistent with the most recent audited financial statements of the Consolidated Parent before the Closing Date; and all terms used in Article 9 of the UCC that are used but not specifically defined herein are used herein as defined therein.

(j)           Furnishing Copies, Etc. Furnish to the Purchaser, the Receivables Trust, the Issuer and the Trustee (i) promptly after obtaining knowledge that a Receivable was, at the time of the Purchaser’s purchase thereof, not an Eligible Receivable, notice thereof; and (ii) promptly following request therefor, such other information, documents, records or reports with respect to the Receivables or the underlying Contracts or the conditions or operations, financial or otherwise, of the Seller, as the Purchaser or the Trustee may from time to time reasonably request.

(k)           Obligation to Record and Report. The Seller will treat the purchase of Contracts and related Receivables as a sale or secured financing for tax and financial accounting purposes (as required by GAAP) and as a sale for all other purposes (including, without limitation, legal and bankruptcy purposes), on all relevant books, records, tax returns, financial statements and other applicable documents.

(m)           Proceeds of Receivables.

(n)           Sales Tax Refunds. Claim all amounts which may be recovered from the States of Texas or any other state as a rebate or refund of sales taxes paid with respect to Receivables which became Defaulted Receivables and pay such amounts to the Purchaser as soon as practical upon receipt from the related state refunding such amounts.

(o)           Financing Statement Changes. Within 30 days after the Seller makes any change in its, name, identity or corporate structure that would make any financing statement filed in accordance with this Agreement seriously misleading within the meaning of Section 9-506 of the UCC, the Seller shall give the Purchaser notice of any such change and shall file such financing statements or amendments to previously filed financing statements as may be necessary to continue the perfection of the interest of the Purchaser in the Contracts and related Receivables, the Related Security and the Receivables Files, and the proceeds of the foregoing.

SECTION 6.4 Limitation on Liability of the Seller and Others. No recourse under or upon any obligation or covenant of this Agreement, or the Receivables, or for any claim based thereon or otherwise in respect thereof, shall be had against any incorporator, shareholder, employee, agent, limited partner, officer or director, in its capacity as such, past, present or future, of the Seller or of any successor thereto, either directly or through the Seller, whether by virtue of any constitutory statute, or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise; it being expressly understood that this Agreement and the obligations issued hereunder are solely its obligations, and that no such personal liability whatever shall attach to, or is or shall be incurred by the incorporators, shareholders, employees, agents, limited partners, officers or directors, as such, of the Seller or of any successor thereto, or any of them, because of the creation of the obligations hereby authorized, or under or by reason of the obligations, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement or in the Receivables or implied therefrom; and that any and all such personal liability, either at common law or in equity or by constitution or statute, of, and any and all such rights and claims against, every such incorporator, shareholder, employee, agent, officer or director, as such, because of the creation of the indebtedness hereby authorized, or under or by reason of the obligations or covenants contained in this Agreement or in the Receivables or implied therefrom, are hereby expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as a consideration for, the execution of this Agreement.

No amendment of this Agreement which affects the rights, duties, liabilities, indemnities or immunities of the Receivables Trust Trustee, shall be effective without, in each specific instance, the prior written approval of the Receivables Trust Trustee.

(c)           It shall not be necessary to obtain the consent of the Noteholders pursuant to this Section 8.1 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or consent, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof.

SECTION 8.3 No Waiver; Remedies.

This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Seller and the Purchaser and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Seller shall not have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Purchaser. This Agreement shall create and constitute the continuing obligations of the parties hereto in accordance with its terms, and shall remain in full force and effect until such time that the Purchaser shall not have any interest in any Receivables and all obligations of the Seller hereunder shall have been paid in full; provided, however, that the indemnification provisions of Article VIII shall be continuing and shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

In addition, the Seller agrees to pay any and all stamp and other taxes and fees payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution, delivery, filing and recording of this Agreement or the other documents to be delivered hereunder, and agrees to hold the Purchaser harmless from and against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay in paying or omitting to pay such taxes and fees.

SECTION 8.8 Waiver of Setoff. All payments hereunder by the Seller to the Purchaser or by the Purchaser to Seller shall be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense and each of the Purchaser and the Seller hereby waives any and all of its rights to assert any right of setoff, counterclaim or other defense to the making of a payment due hereunder to the Seller or the Purchaser, as the case may be; provided, however; that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchaser hereby reserves any and all of its rights to assert any such right of setoff, counterclaim or other defense against the Seller with respect to the Purchase Price of Receivables purchased from the Seller hereunder in the ordinary course of the Purchaser’s business.

SECTION 8.9 Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under such law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

SECTION 8.10 Counterparts. This Agreement and any amendment or supplement hereto or any waiver granted in connection herewith may be executed in two or more counterparts (and by different parties on separate counterparts), each of which shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement shall be valid, binding and enforceable against a party only when executed and delivered by an authorized individual on behalf of the party by means of (i) any electronic signature permitted by the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, state enactments of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act and/or any other relevant electronic signatures law, including the relevant provisions of the UCC; (ii) an original manual signature; or (iii) a faxed, scanned, or photocopied manual signature. Each electronic signature or faxed, scanned, or photocopied manual signature shall for all purposes have the same validity, legal effect, and admissibility in evidence as an original manual signature. Each party hereto shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon, and shall have no liability with respect to, any faxed, scanned, or photocopied manual signature, or other electronic signature, of any other party (whether such signature is with respect to this Agreement or any notice, officer’s certificate or other ancillary document delivered pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement) and shall have no duty to investigate, confirm or otherwise verify the validity or authenticity thereof.

SECTION 8.11 Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.

(a)           The Seller and the Purchaser hereby submit to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and of any New York state court sitting in New York, New York for purposes of all legal proceedings arising out of, or relating to, the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby. The Seller and the Purchaser hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent possible, any objection it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such proceeding and any claim that any such proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Nothing in this Section 8.11 shall affect the right of the Trustee or any Noteholder to bring any action or proceeding against the Seller and the Purchaser or its property in the courts of other jurisdictions.

(b)           TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT OF TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, ANY TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR ANY MATTER ARISING THEREUNDER.

SECTION 8.12 Third Party Beneficiaries. Each of the Secured Parties shall be third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement.

SECTION 8.13 Confirmation of Intent. It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the sale to the Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof of all of the Seller’s right, title and interest, in, to and under (i) all Receivables and all rights (but not the obligations) to, in and under the related Contract, (ii) all moneys due or to become due with respect to the foregoing, (iii) all proceeds of the foregoing including, without limitation, insurance proceeds relating thereto and (iv) all Recoveries on account of Receivables, in each case shall be treated under applicable state law and Federal bankruptcy law as a sale by the Seller to the Purchaser. However, if it is determined contrary to the express intent of the parties that the transfer is not a sale and that all or any portion of the assets described in Section 2.1(a) continue to be property of the Seller, then the Seller hereby grant to the Purchaser a security interest in all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under all such assets and this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law. The Seller and the Purchaser shall, to the extent consistent with the Transaction Documents, take such action as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the assets described in Section 2.1(a), such interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority (other than any Permitted Encumbrances) under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the terms of this Agreement and the Indenture.

SECTION 8.14 Section and Paragraph Headings. Section and paragraph headings used in this Agreement are provided solely for convenience of reference and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of any provision of this Agreement.

SECTION 8.15 Interest. Without limitation to the express intent of the parties set forth in the first sentence of Section 8.13, if the sales contemplated under this Agreement are ever determined to constitute financing arrangements, the parties hereto intend that Purchaser shall conform strictly to usury laws applicable to it, if any. Accordingly, if the transactions contemplated hereby would be usurious under applicable law, if any, then, in that event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other agreement entered into in connection with this Agreement, it is agreed as follows: (i) the aggregate of all consideration which constitutes interest under applicable law that is contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received by Purchaser under this Agreement or under any other agreement entered into in connection with this Agreement shall under no circumstances exceed the Highest Lawful Rate and any excess shall be canceled automatically and, if theretofore paid, shall at the option of Purchaser be applied on the principal amount due Purchaser or refunded by Purchaser to the Seller and (ii) in the event that the maturity of any amount due is accelerated or in the event of any prepayment or repurchase, then such consideration that constitutes interest under law applicable to Purchaser, may never include more than the Highest Lawful Rate and excess interest, if any, to Purchaser, provided for in this Agreement or otherwise shall be canceled automatically as of the date of such acceleration, prepayment or repurchase and, of theretofore paid, shall, at the option of Purchaser be credited by Purchaser on the principal amount due to Purchaser or refunded by Purchaser to the Seller. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Purchaser for the use, forbearance or detention of sums due hereunder shall, to the extent permitted under applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of the payments until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest or account of such payments does not exceed the applicable usury ceiling.
