SECOND TIER RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT

THIS SECOND TIER RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT dated as of December 17, 2020 (this “Agreement”) is among EXELA TECHNOLOGIES, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Exela”), as initial servicer (in such capacity, the “Initial Servicer”), EXELA RECEIVABLES 3 HOLDCO, LLC “Seller” ), and EXELA RECEIVABLES 3, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Buyer”).

BACKGROUND

1. The Buyer is a special purpose limited liability company, all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of which are owned by the Seller.

2. Seller (i) has acquired on the date hereof, Receivables and the Related Assets from Exela Receivables 1, LLC pursuant to the Receivable Transfer Agreement and (ii) has acquired on the date hereof and hereafter continues to acquire Receivables and the Related Assets from the Originators pursuant to the First Tier Receivables Purchase and Sale Agreement.

3. Seller, in order to finance its business, wishes to Convey the Receivables and the Related Assets to the Buyer, and the Buyer is willing to purchase or accept such Receivables and the Related Assets from Seller, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

4. Seller and the Buyer intend each such Conveyance to be a “true sale” or a “true contribution” or an “absolute assignment” of Receivables and the Related Assets by Seller to the Buyer, providing the Buyer with the full benefits of ownership of the Receivables and Related Assets, and neither Seller nor the Buyer intend the transactions hereunder to be characterized as a loan from the Buyer to Seller.

5. The Buyer, as borrower under the Loan and Security Agreement, intends to pledge the Receivables and the Related Rights to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Loan and Security Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements herein contained, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

In this Agreement, unless otherwise specified: (a) capitalized terms are used as defined in (or by reference in) the Loan and Security Agreement dated as of December 10, 2020 (as amended, restated, modified or otherwise supplemented from time to time, the “Loan and Security Agreement”) among Buyer, as Borrower (“Borrower”), Initial Servicer, the Persons from time to time party thereto as Lenders and Alter Domus (US) LLC, as Administrative Agent and (b) as used in this Agreement, unless the context otherwise requires, the following capitalized terms have the meanings indicated below:

The Fair Market Value Discount may be adjusted from time to time by mutual agreement of the Buyer and the Seller to account for such factors as are customarily reflected in an arm’s-length purchase and sale of comparable receivables on terms that are no less favorable to the Buyer than would be the case if the Seller was not an Affiliate of the Buyer; provided that any change to the Fair Market Value Discount shall be reasonably acceptable to the Required Lenders, shall take effect as of the first day of a calendar month, shall apply only prospectively and shall not affect the Purchase Price payment in respect of Receivables which came into existence during any calendar month ending prior to the calendar month during which Seller and Buyer agree to make such change.

(c) Seller shall fail to perform or observe any other term, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party on its part to be performed or observed and such failure shall continue uncured (to the extent such failure may be cured) for ten (10) Business Days after the earlier of (i) Seller having actual knowledge thereof or (ii) written notice to Seller by the Administrative Agent; or

(d) an Event of Bankruptcy shall have occurred with respect to Seller.

“Receivable” means any account receivable or other right to payment from an Obligor, whether constituting an account, chattel paper, payment intangible, instrument or a general intangible, in each case, including the right to payment of any interest, finance charges, fees and other payment obligations of such Person with respect thereto.

SECTION 1.02. Other Interpretive Matters. The interpretation of this Agreement, unless otherwise specified, is subject to Section 1.02 of the Loan and Security Agreement, and Section 1.04 of the Loan and Security Agreement is hereby incorporated herein by reference and shall apply as if set forth herein mutatis mutandis.

SECTION 2.03. Payment of Purchase Price.

(e) Seller hereby covenants and agrees that it shall provide the Servicer and Backup Servicer with all necessary servicing files and records relating to the Contracts, Receivables and Related Security and it shall provide to the Backup Servicer reasonable access to and use by the Backup Servicer of all licenses, software, hardware, equipment, telephone, personnel, servicing systems, employees, facilities or other accommodations necessary or desirable to perform the backup servicing functions as set forth in the Backup Servicing Agreement.

SECTION 3.03. Actions Evidencing Purchases. On or prior to the Funding Date, Seller (or Servicer, on behalf of Seller) shall xxxx its records evidencing Receivables and Contracts in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, evidencing that the Receivables acquired by Seller have been transferred in accordance with this Agreement, and none of the Originators or Initial Servicer shall change or remove such xxxx without the consent of the Administrative Agent, as its assignee. In addition, Seller agrees that from time to time, at its expense, it will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action that Buyer, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as its assignee, may reasonably request in order to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the purchases and Conveyances hereunder, or to enable Buyer, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as its assignee, to exercise or enforce any of their respective rights with respect to the Receivables and the Related Assets. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller will upon the request of Buyer or the Administrative Agent: (i) authorize and file such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto or assignments thereof, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or appropriate to perfect the interests of Buyer, Borrower and the Administrative Agent, as its assignee, in the Receivables acquired by Seller and the Related Assets; and (ii) xxxx conspicuously each Contract evidencing each Receivable acquired by Seller with a legend, reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent evidencing that the related Receivables have been Conveyed in accordance with this Agreement.

The reconveyance price shall be paid by the applicable Originator to the Buyer in immediately available funds on such 15th day (or 3rd day, if applicable) in an amount equal to the aggregate Unpaid Balance of all such reconvened Receivables at such time.

SECTION 3.05. Application of Collections. Any payment by an Obligor in respect of any indebtedness owed by it shall be applied as specified in writing or otherwise by such Obligor or as required by Applicable Law or by the underlying Contract.

(w) Securitization Assets.

(i) None of the Collateral is subject to any Lien of any Debt of Exela or any of its Affiliates other than the Lien of the Administrative Agent under the Transaction Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, all of the Collateral satisfies the definition of “Securitization Assets” sold to a “Special Purpose Securitization Subsidiary” in connection with a “Permitted Securitization Financing,” and therefore is “Excluded Property” that is free and clear of any Adverse Claim of any Existing Specified Secured Debt.

(ii) As of the Funding Date, the Exela Parties are not obligated (whether as a borrower, guarantor or otherwise) under any secured Debt outstanding in an aggregate amount exceeding $75,000,000 other than the Existing Specified Secured Debt and the Transaction Documents.
