THIS AMENDMENT NO. 14 TO RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Amendment”), dated as of July 15, 2013, is entered into among WORTHINGTON RECEIVABLES CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation, as Seller (the “Seller”), WORTHINGTON INDUSTRIES, INC., an Ohio corporation, as Servicer (the “Servicer”), THE MEMBERS OF THE VARIOUS PURCHASER GROUPS FROM TIME TO TIME PARTY TO THE AGREEMENT (as defined below) (each, a “Purchaser Group” and collectively, the “Purchaser Groups”), and PNC BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as Administrator (the “Administrator”).
RECITALS
The Seller, the Servicer, each member of each of the Purchaser Groups and the Administrator are parties to the Receivables Purchase Agreement, dated as of November 30, 2000 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified through the date hereof, the “Agreement”); and
The parties hereto desire to amend the Agreement as hereinafter set forth.
NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
1. Certain Defined Terms. Capitalized terms that are used herein without definition and that are defined in Exhibit I to the Agreement shall have the same meanings herein as therein defined.
2. Amendments to Agreement. The Agreement is hereby amended as follows:
2.1 The following new defined term and definition thereof is hereby added to Exhibit I to the Agreement in appropriate alphabetical order:
“Excluded Receivable” means any Receivable, the Obligor of which is E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company or any Subsidiary thereof and originated on or after July 15, 2013.
2.2 The definition of “Receivable” set forth in Exhibit I to the Agreement is hereby replaced in its entirety with the following:
“Receivable” means any indebtedness and other obligations owed to the Seller or any Originator by, or any right of the Seller or any Originator to payment from or on behalf of, an Obligor, whether constituting an account, chattel paper, instrument or general intangible, arising in connection with the sale of goods or the rendering of services by an Originator, and includes the obligation to pay any finance charges, fees and other charges with respect thereto; provided however, that “Receivable” shall not include any Excluded Receivable. Indebtedness and other obligations arising from any one transaction, including
indebtedness and other obligations represented by an individual invoice or agreement, shall constitute a Receivable separate from a Receivable consisting of indebtedness and other obligations arising from any other transaction.
3. Representations and Warranties. The Seller and the Servicer each hereby represents and warrants to the Administrator and each member of the various Purchaser Groups from time to time party to the Agreement as follows:

(b) Enforceability. The execution and delivery by each of the Seller and the Servicer of this Amendment, and the performance of each of its obligations under this Amendment and the Agreement, as amended hereby, are within each of its corporate powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on each of its parts. This Amendment and the Agreement, as amended hereby, are each of the Seller’s and the Servicer’s valid and legally binding obligations, enforceable in accordance with its terms; and
(c) No Default. Both before and immediately after giving effect to this Amendment and the transactions contemplated hereby, no Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event exists or shall exist.
4. Effect of Amendment. All provisions of the Agreement, including as expressly amended and modified by this Amendment, shall remain in full force and effect and are hereby ratified. After this Amendment becomes effective, all references in the Agreement (or in any other Transaction Document) to “this Agreement”, “hereof, “herein” or words of similar effect referring to the Agreement shall be deemed to be references to the Agreement as amended by this Amendment. This Amendment shall not be deemed, either expressly or impliedly, to waive, amend or supplement any provision of the Agreement other than as set forth herein.
5. Effectiveness. This Amendment shall become effective as of the date hereof upon receipt by the Administrator of: (i) counterparts of this Amendment (whether by facsimile or otherwise) executed by each of the parties hereto and (ii) such other documents, instruments and agreements as the Administrator may request.
6. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.
7. Governing Law. This Amendment shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New York (without regard to any otherwise applicable principles of conflicts of law other than Sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 of the New York General Obligations Law).
