provided, however, that (i) no provision of this Agreement shall require the payment or permit the collection of Yield in excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law and (ii) Yield shall not be considered paid by any distribution if such distribution is rescinded or must otherwise be returned for any reason.

“Yield Period”: Initially, the period commencing on the initial Advance under the Original Agreement and ending on the last day of the Fiscal Month in which such initial Advance occurred, and thereafter, for any Settlement Date, the immediately preceding Fiscal Month; provided, however, that on and after any Event of Default, the Yield Period, for purposes of determining payments of interest and principal on the Advances Outstanding, shall be the period selected as such by and in the sole discretion of the Agent (including a period of one day) and in the absence of any such selection by the Agent shall remain the period determined according to this definition above.

“Yield Rate”: For any date of determination, (i) with respect to Advances (or portion thereof) that are funded through the issuance of Commercial Paper Notes, an interest rate per annum equal to the CP Rate for such day and (ii) with respect to any Advances (or portion thereof) that are funded other than through the issuance of Commercial Paper Notes, an interest rate equal to the Alternative Rate on such day. Notwithstanding anything in this definition to the contrary, following the occurrence and continuation of any Event of Default, the Yield Rate for all Advances shall be deemed to be the Default Interest Rate.

“Yield Reserve Percentage”: At any time of determination:

BR	=	the Base Rate at such time;
DSO	=	Days’ Sales Outstanding for the Remittance Period most recently ended; and

Section 1.02 Terms. All accounting terms not specially defined herein shall be construed in accordance with GAAP. All terms used in Article 9 of the UCC of the State of New York, and not specifically defined herein, are used herein as defined in such Article 9. All hourly references herein shall refer to New York City time.

Section 1.03 Interpretation. Except as otherwise indicated, all agreements defined in this Agreement refer to the same as from time to time amended or supplemented or as the terms of such agreements are waived or modified in accordance with their terms. As used in this Agreement, the word “including” (and words correlative thereto), where not followed by the phrase “without limitation,” shall be deemed to be followed by that phrase unless the context otherwise shall require. As used in this Agreement, references to any asset or to any property, and like references, means all applicable property (whether personalty or realty or mixed, and whether tangible or intangible) unless the context otherwise shall require. The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision. References to any Article or Section, and similar references, are to those of this Agreement unless the context requires otherwise.

Section 1.04 Volt MSP Receivables. With respect to Volt MSP Receivables, the following provisions shall apply for purposes of this Agreement (but shall not apply for purposes of any other Basic Document unless expressly so stated therein):

(a) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (b) below, the “Outstanding Balance” of any Volt MSP Receivable shall be an amount equal to the actual then-outstanding principal balance of such Receivable (in the case of a Receivable payable in a Reserve Currency, as converted to US Dollars in accordance with clause (i) of the definition of “Outstanding Balance”).

(b) For any Volt MSP Receivable that is a UK Receivable where UK Originator VCG is the Managed Service Provider, the “Outstanding Balance” of the Volt MSP Receivable payable to UK Originator VCG by the Customer shall, for purposes of this Agreement only (other than for the definition of Minimum Purchase Price), be limited to (A) the portion of such UK Receivable corresponding to the fee payable to UK Originator VCG on account of its service as the Managed Service Provider, plus (B) in the case where another UK Originator performed services covered by such UK Receivable, the portion of such UK Receivable corresponding to the intercompany Receivable owed to such other UK Originator (in each case where the Receivable is payable in a Reserve Currency, as converted to US Dollars in accordance with clause (i) of the definition of “Outstanding Balance”). The foregoing shall apply notwithstanding that the full outstanding balance of such UK Receivable, including the portion thereof attributable to services performed by third parties, is required to be assigned by UK Originator VCG to the Borrower and included in the Collateral hereunder. Further, to avoid duplication, in the case where another UK Originator performed services covered by such UK Receivable, the corresponding intercompany Receivable of such other UK Originator owed by UK Originator VCG shall be regarded for purposes of this Agreement only (other than for the definition of Minimum Purchase Price) as having an “Outstanding Balance” of zero.

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, Volt MSP Receivables of a Managed Service Provider as Originator that otherwise qualify as Eligible Receivables do not become ineligible by virtue of such Managed Service Provider having a corresponding payment obligation owing to service providers other than Originators, but only the portion of the corresponding payment obligation related to services performed by Originators is includable for purposes of calculating the Outstanding Balance thereof pursuant to this Agreement (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement). In addition, any payment of a Volt MSP Receivable to the Borrower (as assignee from a Managed Service Provider that is the Originator thereof) in respect of services performed by another Originator shall, for purposes of this Agreement only, be deemed to be payment of the corresponding Receivable owed by such Managed Service Provider to such other Originator, notwithstanding any contrary payment provisions contained elsewhere in this Agreement or any other Basic Document.

ARTICLE II

ADVANCES

Section 2.01 Advances. On the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, during the Revolving Period, the Borrower may request that the Lenders make advances (each, an “Advance”) to the Borrower from time to time, with each requested Advance to be in an amount not to exceed the Maximum Available Advance. On the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the Lenders shall make such requested Advances to the Borrower from time to time on any Funds Allocation Date during the Revolving Period. Under no circumstance shall the Lenders make any Advance in excess of the Maximum Available Advance, nor shall a Lender be required to make an Advance at any time in excess of its Commitment, or be obligated to make an Advance upon the termination by a regulatory authority of such Lender’s activities.

Section 2.02 Procedures for Advances.

(a) The Borrower may request an Advance by delivery to the Agent of a Borrower Notice constituting a Funding and Allocation Request in accordance with paragraph (b) of this Section 2.02 and Section 6.03(c). The Borrower Notice shall specify the amount of Advances to be borrowed on the following Funds Allocation Date.

(b) Subject to the conditions described in Section 2.01 and Section 3.02, and as more specifically set forth in Section 6.03(c), the Borrower may request an Advance from the Lenders on any Funding Date by delivering a Funding and Allocation Request specifying the amount of the requested Advance to the Agent by 4:00 p.m. two (2) Business Days prior to the applicable Funding Date. Each Funding and Allocation Request pursuant to which an Advance is requested shall specify (i) the aggregate amount of the requested Advance, which shall be in an amount equal to $250,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, (ii) the Funding Date on which the Advance is to be made, (iii) the Advance Rate then in effect, (iv) the Net Eligible Receivables Balance, the Borrowing Base and Advances Outstanding (in each case, after giving effect to the requested Advance on such Funding Date, the allocation of funds in the Collection Accounts being distributed on such Funding Date and the purchase of any additional Eligible Receivables through the day preceding such Borrower Notice) and (v) calculations necessary to determine the Overconcentration Amount after giving effect to such Advances and distributions and the purchase of such Eligible Receivables. Each Funding and Allocation Request including a request for an Advance shall include a representation that all conditions precedent for a funding have been met, including a representation by the Borrower that on the Funds Allocation Date the requested Advance will not exceed the Maximum Available Advance.

(c) On the Funding Date for any Advance, the Lenders shall upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Sections 2.01 and 2.02 hereof and Article III hereof, make available to the Borrower, no later than 4:00 p.m., in same day funds, the amount of such Advance (net of amounts payable to or for the benefit of the Lenders), by payment into the account which the Borrower has designated in writing.

Section 2.03 Reduction of the Maximum Facility Amount.

The Borrower may, upon at least thirty (30) days’ notice or on such other date agreed to by the Agent in writing, terminate in whole or reduce in part the portion of the Maximum Facility Amount that exceeds the sum of the aggregate principal amount of Advances Outstanding (after giving effect to any prepayment to be made pursuant to Section 2.04 pursuant to a notice accompanying such notice of reduction of the Maximum Facility Amount), and, unless otherwise agreed to by each affected Lender, the Commitments of the Lenders shall be reduced proportionately; provided, however, that each partial reduction of the Maximum Facility Amount shall be in an aggregate amount equal to $5,000,000 or an integral multiple thereof. Each notice of reduction or termination pursuant to this Section 2.03 shall be irrevocable and shall be subject to the payment of any applicable Termination Fee as set forth in the Fee Letter.

Section 2.04 Repayments.

(a) Subject to any optional prepayment described in paragraph (b) of this Section 2.04, the Advances shall be repaid on the earlier of the Facility Maturity Date and on the dates required pursuant to Sections 6.03 and 6.04.

(b) The Borrower shall, by delivery of a Borrower Notice constituting a Funding and Allocation Request delivered to the Agent as least two (2) Business Days (or, for a prepayment in full, at least thirty (30) days) prior to the date of such prepayment, have the option to repay the aggregate Advances Outstanding hereunder in whole or in part on any Funds Allocation Date or (to the extent any Settlement Date shall not be a Funds Allocation Date), to the extent of funds available pursuant to clause (viii) of the priority of payments in Section 6.03(b), on such Settlement Date; provided, however, the Borrower shall, on the date of such repayment, pay to the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders (ratably based on Advances Outstanding) the applicable Termination Fee, if any; it being understood that in addition to the Advances Outstanding and any Termination Fee, the Borrower shall, following any such prepayment, continue to be responsible for the payment of all other Aggregate Unpaids (including all Breakage Costs payable under Section 2.10) payable by it hereunder pursuant to Article VI or otherwise. For the avoidance of doubt, no Termination Fee shall be payable with respect to (i) any reduction in the aggregate Advances Outstanding made pursuant to Sections 6.03 or 6.04 or (ii) any repayment of all, but not less than all, Advances Outstanding (including any such repayment made pursuant to Section 6.02(b)(ii)) in the event that (A) the Borrower or the Servicer shall be required to pay any amounts under Section 2.09 or Taxes pursuant to Section 2.11 or (B) the Loans shall accrue Yield at a rate other than the CP Rate for a period of thirty (30) consecutive days or more, or for thirty (30) out of sixty (60) consecutive days; provided, however, that any such repayment shall be made concurrently with a termination in whole of the Maximum Facility Amount.

(c) The Borrower may, as set forth in the related Funding and Allocation Request, utilize excess funds in the US Collection Account to make any such prepayment, subject to the conditions set forth in Section 6.03(c), and otherwise make such prepayment in accordance with Section 6.02(ii).

Section 2.05 Loan Interest.

(a) The Borrower shall pay to the Lenders, as set forth in Sections 6.03 and 6.04, the Loan Interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Advance for the period commencing on and including the Funding Date of such Advance until but excluding the date such Advance shall be paid in full (it being understood that the Borrower will not be deemed to have failed to comply with its agreement set forth in this Section 2.05(a) as a consequence of the failure by the US Collection Account Bank or the Agent to apply funds held in the US Collection Account pursuant to the provisions of Sections 6.03 and 6.04 in the manner contemplated in the related Monthly Report, and, in any event, the Borrower shall promptly make any corrective payments, if any, required to correct any such failure).

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall pay interest on any unpaid Loan Interest, on any Advance or any installment thereof, and on any other amount payable by the Borrower to the Agent or the Lenders hereunder or under any other Basic Document to which it is a party (to the extent permitted by law) that shall not be paid in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) for the period commencing on the due date thereof to (but excluding) the date the same is paid in full at the Default Interest Rate.

(c) Neither the Lenders nor the Agent shall have any obligation to cause Loans to accrue Yield at the CP Rate. Any decision of the Conduit Lender to issue commercial paper to fund a Loan shall be made by the Conduit Lender in its sole discretion and it is understood and agreed that only such a Loan would accrue Yield at the CP Rate.

(d) If the Agent or any Lender determines (i) that maintenance of an Advance accruing interest at Adjusted LIBOR at a time when the Alternate Rate is applicable would violate any applicable law or regulation or any guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law), (ii) that deposits of a type and maturity appropriate to match fund any such Advance are not available or adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable LIBOR, (iii) that the maintenance of any Advance bearing interest based on Adjusted LIBOR will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost of such Lender of funding such Advance, or (iv) that the making or funding of an Advance accruing interest based on Adjusted LIBOR has become impracticable, then the Agent, upon the direction of the applicable Lender, shall suspend the availability of Advances bearing interest based on Adjusted LIBOR until such time as the Agent or such Lender provides notice that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, and, if required by any applicable law or regulation or any guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law), terminate any outstanding Advance so affected. Any Advance bearing interest at the Alternate Rate shall thereafter bear interest at the Base Rate. The Agent shall promptly deliver written notice to the Borrower upon any such change in the Alternate Rate.

(e) Anything in the Basic Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, if at any time the rate of interest payable by any Person under the Basic Documents exceeds the highest rate of interest permissible under any applicable law (the “Maximum Lawful Rate”), then, so long as the Maximum Lawful Rate would be exceeded, the rate of interest under such Basic Document shall be equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate. If at any time thereafter the rate of interest payable under such Basic Document is less than the Maximum Lawful Rate, such Person shall continue to pay interest under such Basic Document at the Maximum Lawful Rate until such time as the total Loan Interest received from such Person is equal to the total interest that would have been received had the applicable law not limited the interest rate payable under such Basic Document. In no event shall the total interest received by the Agent or any Lender under the Basic Documents exceed the amount which such Person could lawfully have received, had the interest due under such Basic Documents been calculated since the Original Effective Date at the Maximum Lawful Rate.

Section 2.06 Deemed Collections.

(a) If on any day the Outstanding Balance of a Receivable is reduced or cancelled as a result of any defective or rejected goods or services, any cash discount or adjustment (including any adjustment resulting from the application of any special refund or other discounts or any reconciliation), any setoff or credit (whether such claim or credit arises out of the same, a related, or an unrelated transaction) or any other reason not arising from the financial inability of any related Obligor to pay undisputed indebtedness, the Borrower shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection on such Receivable in the amount of such reduction or cancellation. If on any day any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement of the Borrower or an Originator related to a Receivable is not true or is not satisfied, the Borrower shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection in the amount of the Outstanding Balance of such Receivable. All such Collections deemed received by the Borrower under this Section 2.06(a), subject to Section 2.06(b), shall be remitted by the Borrower to the Collection Account pertaining to such Receivable in accordance with Section 6.01.

(b) At any time before the Facility Maturity Date that the Borrower is deemed to have received any Collection under Section 2.06(a) (“Deemed Collections”) that derives from a Receivable that is otherwise reported as an Eligible Receivable, the Borrower shall not be obligated to deliver the amount of such Deemed Collections to the applicable Collection Account if, after giving effect to such Deemed Collections, there is no Borrowing Base Deficiency.

Section 2.07 Fees.

(a) The Borrower shall pay the Servicing Fee to the Servicer and the Successor Servicing Fees and Expenses to any Successor Servicer.

(b) The Borrower shall pay the Commitment Fee and Structuring Fee (to the extent not previously paid by the Parent) to the Agent and the Lender’s Fee and any Termination Fee to the Agent (for the benefit of the Lenders) according to the terms and provisions of the Fee Letter.

(c) The Borrower shall pay the Agent’s Fee to the Agent and all fees owed to the Lockbox Account Banks and the Collection Account Banks, and shall reimburse the Parent for the Borrower’s share of any fees and expenses owed to the US Check Processing Bank.

Section 2.08 Time and Method of Payments.

Subject to the provisions of Sections 6.03 and 6.04, all payments of principal of the Advances, Loan Interest, and all other Obligations payable by the Borrower to the Agent and Lenders hereunder and under the other Basic Documents to which it is a party shall be made to the Agent in Dollars, in immediately available funds, not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date on which such payment shall become due (it being understood that the Borrower will not be deemed to have failed to comply with its agreement set forth in this Section 2.08 as a consequence of the failure by the US Collection Account Bank or the Agent to apply by the specified time funds held in the US Collection Account pursuant to the provisions of Sections 6.03 and 6.04 in the manner contemplated in the related Monthly Report). Any such payment made on such date but after such time shall, if the amount paid bears interest, be deemed to have been made on, and interest shall continue to accrue and be payable thereon until, the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment of principal or Loan Interest or other amount due hereunder becomes due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day and, if such amount being paid bears interest, such extension shall be included in computing interest in connection with such payment. All payments hereunder shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and in such amounts as may be necessary in order that all such payments shall not be less than the amounts otherwise specified to be paid under this Agreement.

Section 2.09 Additional Costs; Capital Requirements.

(a) If any Affected Party determines that the existence of or compliance with any Regulatory Change after the Original Closing Date affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Affected Party and such Affected Party determines that the amount of such capital is increased by or based upon the existence of any commitment to make purchases of or otherwise to maintain the Loans, the Commitments or any related liquidity facility or credit enhancement facility and other commitments of the same type, then, upon written demand by such Affected Party (with a copy to the Agent and the Borrower), the Borrower shall immediately pay to such Affected Party, from time to time as specified by such Affected Party, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Affected Party in the light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Affected Party reasonably determines such increase in capital to be allocable to the existence of any of such commitments or maintenance of the Loans. A certificate from such Affected Party to the Borrower certifying, in reasonably specific detail, the basis for, calculation of, and amount of such additional costs or reduced amount receivable shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error; provided, however, that no Affected Party shall be required to disclose any confidential or tax planning information in any such certificate. The term “Regulatory Change” shall mean (i) the adoption after the Original Closing Date of any applicable law, rule or regulation (including any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy or liquidity coverage) or any change therein after the Original Closing Date or (ii) any change after the Original Closing Date in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency; provided that for purposes of this definition, (x) the United States bank regulatory rule titled “Risk-Based Capital Guidelines; Capital Adequacy Guidelines; Capital Maintenance: Regulatory Capital; Impact of Modifications to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles; Consolidation of Asset-Backed Commercial Paper Programs; and Other Related Issues”, adopted on December 15, 2009, (y) the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder, issued in connection therewith or in implementation thereof, and (z) all requests, rules, guidelines and directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to or in connection with Basel II or Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be a “Regulatory Change”, regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued or implemented.

(b) In the event that any Regulatory Change shall: (i) change the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to any Affected Party hereunder or subject any Affected Party to any Taxes on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto (in each case, other than taxes imposed on the overall net income of such Affected Party for any such Loan by the United States of America or by jurisdiction in which such Affected Party has its principal office); (ii) impose or modify any reserve, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation premium or assessment, special deposit or similar requirements relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of such Affected Party; or (iii) impose any other conditions affecting this Agreement in respect of any Loans (or any of such extensions of credit, assets, deposits or liabilities); and the result of any event referred to in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above shall be to increase such Affected Party’s costs of making or maintaining any Loans or its Commitment or its commitments under any of the program documents relating to the issuance of Commercial Paper Notes funding any Advances (to the extent attributable to Commercial Paper Notes issued to fund such Advances), or to reduce any amount receivable by such Affected Party hereunder in respect of any of its Loans or its Commitment (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable are hereinafter referred to as “Additional Costs”) then, upon demand made by the Agent on behalf of such Affected Party, as promptly as practicable after it obtains knowledge that such a Regulatory Change exists and determines to make such demand, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent on behalf of such Affected Party, from time to time as specified by the Agent, additional fees or other amounts which shall be sufficient to compensate such Affected Party for such Additional Costs incurred by such Affected Party from the date of such change.

(c) Determinations by any Affected Party for purposes of this Section 2.09 of the effect of any Regulatory Change on its costs of making or maintaining Loans or on amounts receivable by it in respect of Loans, and of the additional amounts required to compensate such Affected Party in respect of any Additional Costs, shall be set forth in a written notice to the Borrower in reasonable detail and shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(d) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower contained in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Affected Party shall be entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.09 in respect of Indemnified Taxes, taxes described in clauses (ii) through (iv) of the definition of Excluded Taxes or Connection Income Taxes.

Section 2.10 Breakage Costs.

The Borrower shall pay to each Lender, as applicable, upon the request of such Lender or the Agent on its behalf, such amount or amounts as shall compensate such Lender for any actual loss (including loss of profit), cost or expense incurred by the Lender (as reasonably determined by such Lender) as a result of (x) any repayment of an Advance (and interest thereon) other than on the scheduled maturity date of the source of funds obtained or utilized by such Lender to fund such Advance (or, if earlier, the Facility Maturity Date) or (y) any failure by the Borrower to borrow funds in respect of any Advance requested by the Borrower pursuant to Article II, in either case, such compensation to include, without limitation, an amount equal to any loss or expense suffered by such Lender during the period from the date of receipt of such repayment or failure to borrow, as the case may be, to (but excluding) the scheduled maturity date of such source of funds (or, if earlier, the Facility Maturity Date), if the rate of interest obtained by such Lender upon the redeployment of an amount of funds equal to the amount of such repayment or failure to borrow, as the case may be, is less than the Yield applicable to such source of funds (such expense to be referred to as “Breakage Costs”). The determination by any Lender of the amount of any such loss or expense shall be set forth in a written notice to the Borrower in reasonable detail and shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

Section 2.11 Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, deductions, assessments, fees, charges or withholdings imposed by any Governmental Authority, and all liabilities (including, without limitation, interest, additions to tax or penalties) with respect thereto (hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”), except as required by applicable law. If the Borrower or any other withholding agent shall be required by law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any such payment, (i) the Borrower shall, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, make an additional payment to the applicable Affected Party in an amount sufficient so that, after making all required deductions or withholdings (including deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this section), such Affected Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the applicable withholding agent shall make such deductions and (iii) the applicable withholding agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) The Borrower will indemnify the Affected Parties, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of Indemnified Taxes (including, without limitation, any Indemnified Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this section) paid by such Affected Party or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Affected Party and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by an Affected Party (with a copy to the Agent) or by the Agent on behalf of an Affected Party shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(c) Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment by the Borrower of any Taxes to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.11 or Section 16.03(b), the Borrower will furnish to the Agent the original or certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of payment thereof reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.

(d) The Agent, any LC Issuer and any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Basic Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, the Agent, LC Issuer and any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Agent to determine whether or not the Agent, LC Issuer or such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than IRS forms W-9 or W-8) shall not be required if in the Agent, LC Issuer or Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject the Agent, the LC Issuer or such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Agent, LC Issuer or Lender.

(e) If a payment made to a Lender, LC Issuer or the Agent under any Basic Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender, LC Issuer or the Agent were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender, LC Issuer or Agent shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender, LC Issuer or Agent has complied with such Lender’s, LC Issuer’s or Agent’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (e), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Original Closing Date.

(f) If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.11 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.11), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (f) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (f), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (f) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(g) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 14.01(i) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Agent in connection with any Basic Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Basic Document or otherwise payable by the Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Agent under this Section 2.11(g).

(h) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower contained in this Section and Section 16.03(b) shall survive the termination of this Agreement, the resignation or replacement of the Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender or LC Issuer, and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Basic Document.

(iii) Each Receivable that is included in the Borrowing Base is an Eligible Receivable.

(z) The Borrower does not maintain, sponsor, contribute to, or have any obligation with respect to, any Welfare Plan, except for any potential liability under Section 498B of the Code, Part 6 of Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA or other applicable law with respect to any Welfare Plan that is maintained by an ERISA Affiliate of the Borrower and constitutes a “group health plan” under such provisions and which potential liability is not reasonably expected to be material to the Borrower. During the twelve-consecutive-month period prior to the Original Closing Date and prior to any Advance hereunder, no steps have been taken to terminate a Borrower Pension Plan, and no contribution failure has occurred with respect to a Borrower Pension Plan sufficient to give rise to a lien under section 302(f) of ERISA. No condition exists or event or transaction has occurred with respect to a Borrower Pension Plan which could result in the Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate of the Borrower incurring any material liability, fine or penalty and each Borrower Pension Plan could be terminated without liability to the Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate. Neither the Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has, or within the six preceding years, has had any obligation to contribute to, and neither the Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has any obligation with respect to, any “multiemployer plan” plan described in Section 3(37) or 4001(a)(3) of ERISA.

(dd) The Borrower hereby makes the following representations, warranties and agreements with respect to the Collateral:

(i) Generally. To the extent the Receivables and related Collateral are within the scope of the UCC,

I. Creation. This Agreement creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in the Collateral in favor of the Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties), which security interest is prior to all other Adverse Claims, and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and purchasers from the Borrower.

II. Nature of Receivables. The right to receive payments in respect of the Receivables constitute “accounts” within the meaning of the applicable UCC.

III. Ownership of Collateral. The Borrower owns (or, when acquired, will own), and has (or, when acquired, will have) good and marketable title to the Collateral free and clear of any Adverse Claim (other than Permitted Liens). The Borrower has received all consents and approvals required by the terms of the Receivables for the pledge of the Receivables hereunder to the Agent, except to the extent such terms are ineffective under applicable law.

IV. Perfection. The Borrower has caused, not later than the Original Closing Date (in the case of US Originator VM and US Originator PS) or the Amendment Effective Date (in the case of UK Originator VCG and UK Originator VCG), as applicable, the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under the UCC as necessary in order to Perfect the security interest granted in the Collateral from the Borrower to the Agent under Article VIII of this Agreement.

(ii) The Bank Accounts.

I. Nature of Bank Accounts. Each Bank Account constitutes a “deposit account” or “securities account” within the meaning of the applicable UCC.

II. Ownership. The Borrower or the Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties owns and has good and marketable title to the Bank Accounts free and clear of any Adverse Claim (other than Permitted Liens).

III. Perfection. The Borrower has delivered to the Agent a fully executed account control agreement, blocked account agreement, account mandate or other similar agreement or arrangement with respect to each Bank Account (other than a Bank Account with respect to which the Agent is the customer) which: (x) in the case of any such Bank Account located in the United States, provides the Agent with “control” over such Bank Account (for purposes of the applicable UCC), and pursuant to which (i) in the case of a “deposit account” under the applicable UCC, the applicable bank at which such Bank Account is maintained has agreed to comply with all instructions originated by the Agent (on behalf of the Secured Parties) directing the disposition of funds in such Bank Account without further consent by the Borrower or the Servicer, and (ii) in the case of a “securities account” under the applicable UCC, the applicable securities intermediary at which such Bank Account is maintained has agreed that it will comply with entitlement orders originated by the Agent (on behalf of the Secured Parties) relating to such Bank Account without further consent by the Borrower or the Servicer; and (y) in the case of any such Bank Account located outside the United States, provides corresponding provisions under applicable local law.

(iii) Priority.

I. Other than the security interest in the Receivables granted by the Borrower to the Agent hereunder, the Borrower has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the Receivables or other Collateral, except for any such pledge, grant or other conveyance which has been released or terminated on or prior to the Original Closing Date. The Borrower has not authorized the filing of, nor is aware of, any financing statements against the Borrower that include a description of any of the Collateral, other than any financing statement (i) relating to the security interest granted to the Agent under this Agreement, or (ii) that has been released or terminated.

II. No ERISA or tax lien filings exist against the Borrower and no ERISA lien filings exist against any ERISA Affiliate. The Borrower is not aware of any judgment lien filings against the Borrower.

III. No Bank Account is in the name of any Person other than the Borrower or the Agent. Neither the Borrower nor the Servicer has consented to any bank maintaining any such Bank Account to comply with instructions of any Person other than the Agent (or, in the case of a UK Lockbox Account, the Servicer, or a Sub-Servicer acting on its behalf).

(iv) Borrower to Maintain Perfection and Priority. In order to evidence the interests of Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) under this Agreement, the Borrower (directly or through the Servicer) shall, from time to time, take such action or execute and deliver such instruments as may be necessary or advisable (including, without limitation, such actions as are reasonably requested by the Agent) to maintain the Perfection of the Agent’s security interest in the Collateral; provided that with respect to the Receivables, the Borrower (directly or through the Servicer) shall complete the Perfection Actions. The Borrower shall, from time to time and within the time limits established by law, prepare and present to the Agent for the Agent’s authorization, and the Agent’s approval, all financing statements, amendments, continuations or other filings necessary to continue and maintain the Perfection of the Agent’s security interest in the Collateral. The Agent’s authorization of such filings shall authorize the Servicer and the Borrower to file such financing statements under the UCC without the signature of the Borrower or the Agent where allowed by applicable law. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement or the other Basic Documents to the contrary, neither of the Servicer nor the Borrower shall have any authority to file a termination, partial termination, release, partial release, or any amendment that deletes the name of a debtor or excludes collateral of any such financing statements, without the prior written consent of the Agent. In addition, the Borrower shall (or shall cause the Servicer to) prepare, authorize and record any applicable assignments or certificates necessary to Perfect the interest of the Agent in the Collateral in all related jurisdictions; provided that with respect to the Receivables, the Borrower shall complete the Perfection Actions.

(vi) All representations and warranties of the Borrower contained in this clause (dd) shall survive the execution of this Agreement and the termination hereof. In addition, the Agent agrees not to waive compliance by the Borrower with the representations and warranties in this clause (dd) without receiving confirmation from S&P that such waiver will not result in the downgrading or withdrawal of the S&P’s ratings of the Commercial Paper Notes of Autobahn.

(ee) The Borrower has given fair consideration and reasonably equivalent value in exchange for the sale of the Receivables under the applicable PSAs.

(ff) The Borrower has not delivered, in writing or orally, to any nationally recognized statistical rating organization providing or proposing to provide a rating to, or monitoring the rating of, the Conduit Lender’s commercial paper, any Transaction Information without providing such Transaction Information to the Agent prior to delivery to such nationally recognized statistical rating organization and has not participated in any oral communications with respect to Transaction Information with such nationally recognized statistical rating organizations without the participation of a Rule 17g-5 Representative of the Agent.

In connection with such collections, the Borrower may take (and with the consent or at the Agent’s direction after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, shall take) such action as the Borrower, the Agent may deem necessary or advisable to enforce collection of the Receivables and the Borrower Assigned Agreements; provided, however, that at any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Agent may enforce collection of any such Receivables or the Borrower Assigned Agreements and adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof.

(c) Maintain Records of the Collateral. The Borrower and the Servicer shall, at their own cost and expense, maintain satisfactory and complete records of the Collateral, including a record of all payments received and all credits granted with respect to the Collateral and all other dealings with the Collateral.

The Borrower (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall (i) perform and observe all the terms and provisions of the Borrower Assigned Agreements to be performed or observed by the Borrower, maintain the Borrower Assigned Agreements in full force and effect, enforce the Borrower Assigned Agreements in accordance with their terms and take all such action to such end as may be reasonably requested by the Agent from time to time, and (ii) upon reasonable request of the Agent (or any request of the Agent in its sole discretion, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and not been waived), make to any other party to the Borrower Assigned Agreements such demands and requests for information and reports or for action as the Borrower is entitled to make under the Borrower Assigned Agreements.

(e) Notice of Adverse Claim. Promptly (and in any event within one (1) Business Day) of the Borrower or a Senior Officer of the Servicer obtaining knowledge thereof, the Borrower and the Servicer shall advise the Agent promptly and in reasonable detail (i) of any Adverse Claim made or asserted against any of the Collateral, and (ii) of the occurrence of any event which would have a material adverse effect on the aggregate value of the Collateral or on the assignments and security interests granted by the Borrower in this Agreement.

(f) Further Assurances; Financing Statements.

(i) The Borrower and the Servicer each severally agrees that, at any time and from time to time, it shall at the expense of the Borrower promptly authorize, execute and deliver, as applicable, all further instruments and documents and take all further action that may be necessary or desirable or that the Agent may reasonably request to comply with the Perfection Actions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower shall authorize, execute and file, as applicable, such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto, and such other instruments or notices as may be necessary or desirable or that the Agent may request to Perfect the assignments and security interests granted by this Agreement. In addition, the Servicer shall prepare, authorize and record any applicable assignments or certificates necessary to comply with the Perfection Actions.

(ii) The Borrower and the Lenders hereby severally authorize the Agent to file one or more financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, relating to all or any part of the Collateral without the signature of the Borrower or the Secured Parties where permitted by law. A photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement covering the Collateral or any part thereof shall be sufficient as a financing statement where permitted by law. The Agent will promptly send to the Borrower any financing or continuation statements thereto which it files without the signature of the Borrower. The Agent will promptly send the Borrower or the Secured Parties, as the case may be, the filing or recordation information with respect thereto.

(iii) The Borrower and each of the Servicer shall furnish to the Agent from time to time such statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral and such other reports in connection with the Collateral as the Agent may reasonably request, all in reasonable detail.

(g) Released Collateral. The Lenders and the Agent hereby agree that any Receivable that is not at any time an Eligible Receivable shall be retained by the Borrower and such Receivable, all Related Security and all Proceeds thereof shall remain part of the Collateral. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Agent may consent to entitled to have such Receivable and any and all items referenced in Section 8.01 relating thereto (collectively, the “Released Collateral”) released from the lien of the Agent under this Agreement; provided that (i) such Receivable and Related Security are simultaneously sold to a Person other than an Originator, (ii) the proceeds of the transaction involving the sale of such Receivables is at least $1 million and such sale proceeds are deposited in a Collection Account and treated as Collections hereunder, (iii) the related Contract Obligor is directed to make all future payments thereon to an account other than a Bank Account, and (iv) the Contract Obligor is not also a Contract Obligor on other Receivables remaining as part of the Collateral, or such Receivable is otherwise segregated from Receivables remaining as part of the Collateral, to prevent the Receivables being sold from affecting payments on Receivables remaining as part of the Collateral; provided, however, that at the time of, and after giving effect to any such release, no Potential Event of Default, Event of Default, Amortization Event or Borrowing Base Deficiency shall have occurred and be continuing. The Agent shall promptly, but in any event within five (5) Business Days, execute and deliver such documents of release as shall be presented thereto in execution form by the Borrower or the Servicer (subject to the reasonable approval of such documents by the Agent) reasonably required to effect such release and the transmission to the purchaser thereof of any receivable files relating to the Released Collateral in question. Upon the effectiveness of the release of any Released Collateral pursuant to this Section 8.04(g), such Released Collateral shall not longer constitute “Collateral” for purposes of this Agreement or any other Basic Document.

ARTICLE X

REMEDIES

Section 10.01 Actions Upon an Event of Default.

If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then the Agent in its sole discretion may exercise in respect of the Collateral all of the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the UCC (such rights and remedies to be cumulative and nonexclusive), in addition to any and all other rights and remedies otherwise available to it, and, in addition, may take the following remedial actions:

(a) The Agent may with the consent of, or shall at the direction of, the Required Lenders in their sole discretion, without notice to the Borrower except as required by law and at any time or from time to time, charge, set-off and otherwise apply all or any part of the Obligations against amounts payable to the Borrower from the Bank Accounts or any part of such Bank Accounts in accordance with the priorities required by Section 10.03.

104

(b) The Agent may with the consent of, or shall at the direction of, the Required Lenders in their sole discretion, without notice except as specified below, solicit and accept bids for and sell the Collateral or any part of the Collateral in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any exchange, broker’s board or at any of the Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Agent may deem commercially reasonable. The Borrower agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least twenty (20) days’ notice to the Borrower of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for such sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Every such sale shall operate to divest all right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever of the Borrower in and to the Collateral so sold, and shall be a perpetual bar, both at law and in equity, against the Borrower, any Person claiming the Collateral sold through the Borrower and its successors or assigns.

(c) Upon the completion of any sale under Section 10.01(b), the Borrower will deliver or cause to be delivered all of the Collateral sold to the purchaser or purchasers at such sale on the date of sale, or within a reasonable time thereafter if it shall be impractical to make immediate delivery, but in any event full title and right of possession to such property shall pass to such purchaser or purchasers forthwith upon the completion of such sale. Nevertheless, if so requested by the Agent or by any purchaser, the Borrower shall confirm any such sale or transfer by executing and delivering to such purchaser all proper instruments of conveyance and transfer and releases as may be designated in any such request.

(d) At any sale under Section 10.01(b), the Lenders, the Agent or any Secured Party may bid for and purchase the property offered for sale and, upon compliance with the terms of sale, may hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability therefor.

(e) The Agent may exercise at the Borrower’s expense any and all rights and remedies of the Borrower under or in connection with the Borrower Assigned Agreements or the other Collateral, including any and all rights of the Borrower to demand or otherwise require payment of any amount under, or performance of any provisions of, the Borrower Assigned Agreements.

Section 10.02 Receipt of Payments in Trust.

All payments received by the Borrower or the Servicer under or in connection with the Collateral shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Agent, shall be segregated from other funds of such party and shall be forthwith paid over to the Agent or deposited in the Lockbox Account applicable thereto in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement).

Section 10.03 Application of Proceeds.

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default which has not been waived, any cash held by or on behalf of the Agent as Collateral, whether from Receivables or otherwise, and all cash proceeds received by the Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral, shall be applied as set forth in Section 6.04. The Borrower shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of the Collateral are insufficient to repay the Obligations in full. Any surplus of such cash or cash proceeds held by or on behalf of the Agent shall be disposed of in accordance with Section 6.07.

105

Section 10.04 Exercise of Remedies.

No failure or delay on the part of the Agent or any Lender to exercise any right, power or privilege under this Agreement and no course of dealing between the Borrower or the Servicer, on the one hand, and the Agent or the Lenders, on the other hand, shall operate as a waiver of such right, power or privilege, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under this Agreement preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies expressly provided in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which the Agent or the Secured Parties would otherwise have pursuant to law or equity. No notice to or demand on any party in any case shall entitle such party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances, or constitute a waiver of the right of the other party to any other or further action in any circumstance without notice or demand.

Section 10.05 Severability of Remedies.

The invalidity of any remedy in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate such remedy in any other jurisdiction. The invalidity or unenforceability of the remedies herein provided in any jurisdiction shall not in any way affect the right of the enforcement in such jurisdiction or elsewhere of any of the other remedies herein provided.

Section 10.06 Waiver of Agreement.

The Borrower agrees, to the full extent that it may lawfully so agree, that neither it nor anyone claiming through or under it will set-off, claim or seek to take advantage of any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or redemption law now or hereafter in force in any locality where any Collateral may be situated in order to prevent, hinder or delay the enforcement or foreclosure of the security interests granted pursuant to this Agreement, or the absolute sale of any of the Collateral or any part thereof, or the final and absolute putting into possession thereof, immediately after such sale, of the purchasers thereof, and the Borrower, for itself and all who may at any time claim through or under it, hereby waives, to the full extent that it may be lawful so to do, the benefit of all such laws, and any and all right to have any of the properties or assets constituting the Collateral marshalled upon any such sale, and agrees that the Agent or any court having jurisdiction to foreclose the security interests granted in this Agreement may sell the Collateral as an entirety or in such parcels as the Agent or such court may determine.

106

Section 10.07 Power of Attorney.

The Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the Agent its true and lawful attorney (with full power of substitution) in its name, place and stead and at its expense, in connection with the enforcement of the rights and remedies provided for in this Article X, including with the following powers: (a) to give any necessary receipts or acquittance for amounts collected or received hereunder, (b) to make all necessary transfers of the Collateral in connection with any sale or other disposition made pursuant hereto, (c) to execute and deliver for value all necessary or appropriate bills of sale, assignments and other instruments in connection with any such sale or other disposition, (d) to sign any agreements, orders or other documents in connection with or pursuant to any Basic Document, and (e) to take and perform any applicable foreclosure action (including notifying and communicating with all relevant Obligors) with respect to any Related Security for any Receivable financed hereunder, the Borrower and the Servicer hereby ratifying and confirming all that such attorney (or any substitute) shall lawfully do hereunder and pursuant hereto. Nevertheless, if so requested by the Agent or a purchaser of Collateral, the Borrower shall ratify and confirm any such sale or other disposition by executing and delivering to the Agent or such purchaser all proper bills of sale, assignments, releases and other instruments as may be designated in any such request. The Borrower shall provide the Agent with a separate power of attorney with respect to Section 7.04(b) and this Section 10.07, but such power of attorney shall be used by the Agent only subject to, and in a manner consistent with, such Sections.

Section 10.08 Continuing Security Interest.

This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral until the satisfaction of Section 6.07 of this Agreement.

ARTICLE XI

Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced as to clause (a) above by an opinion of counsel to such effect delivered to the Agent. No such resignation shall become effective until a successor servicer shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Servicer in accordance with Section 11.02.

Section 11.02 Appointment of the Successor Servicer.

In connection with the termination of a Servicer’s responsibilities under this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.02 or 11.01, the Backup Servicer or such other third-party servicer as the Agent may designate in its sole discretion (such successor Servicer being referred to as the “Successor Servicer”) shall succeed to all rights and assume all of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the Servicer under this Agreement; provided, however, that neither the Backup Servicer nor any other Successor Servicer shall have any responsibility for any actions of the Servicer prior to the termination of the Servicer or the date of the termination of the Servicer or its appointment as Successor Servicer, as applicable; and provided, further, that the duties of the Backup Servicer when acting as Successor Servicer shall be limited as set forth in the Backup Servicing Agreement. The Backup Servicer, when acting as Servicer, may be replaced in its role as Servicer at any time by the Agent upon the appointment of another Successor Servicer in accordance with the provisions of the Backup Servicing Agreement. In selecting a Successor Servicer, the Agent may obtain bids from any potential Successor Servicer and may agree to any bid it deems appropriate. The Successor Servicer shall accept its appointment by executing, acknowledging and delivering to the Agent an instrument in form and substance acceptable to the Agent.

107

Section 11.03 Duties of the Servicers.

At any time following the appointment of a Successor Servicer, the Servicer agrees that it will terminate its activities as Servicer hereunder in a manner acceptable to the Agent so as to facilitate the transfer of servicing to the Successor Servicer including, without limitation, timely delivery (i) to the Agent of any funds that were required to be remitted to the Agent for deposit in the Lockbox Accounts and (ii) to the Successor Servicer, at a place selected by the Successor Servicer, of all Records and other information with respect to the Collateral. The Servicer shall account for all funds and shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required to more fully and definitely vest and confirm in the Successor Servicer all rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Servicer.

Section 11.04 Effect of Termination or Resignation.

If any LC Participant so notified fails to make available to the LC Issuer the amount of such LC Participant’s Pro Rata Share of such amount by 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Drawing Date, then interest shall accrue on such LC Participant’s obligation to make such payment, from the Drawing Date to the date on which such LC Participant makes such payment (i) at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate during the first three days following the Drawing Date and (ii) at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate on and after the fourth day following the Drawing Date. The LC Issuer will promptly give notice to each LC Participant of the occurrence of the Drawing Date, but failure of the LC Issuer to give any such notice on the Drawing Date or in sufficient time to enable any LC Participant to effect such payment on such date shall not relieve such LC Participant from its obligation under this clause (b). Each LC Participant’s Commitment shall continue until the last to occur of any of the following events: (A) the LC Issuer ceases to be obligated to issue or cause to be issued Letters of Credit hereunder, (B) no Letter of Credit issued hereunder remains outstanding and uncancelled or (C) all Secured Parties have been fully reimbursed for all payments made under or relating to Letters of Credit.

119

Section 15.05 Repayment of Participation Advances.

(a) Upon (and only upon) receipt by the LC Issuer for its account of immediately available funds from or for the account of the Borrower (i) in reimbursement of any payment made by the LC Issuer under a Letter of Credit with respect to which any LC Participant has made a Participation Advance to the LC Issuer or (ii) in payment of Interest on the Loans made or deemed to have been made in connection with any such draw, the LC Issuer will pay to each LC Participant, ratably (based on the outstanding drawn amounts funded by each such LC Participant in respect of such Letter of Credit), in the same funds as those received by the LC Issuer; it being understood, that the LC Issuer shall retain a ratable amount of such funds that were not the subject of any payment in respect of such Letter of Credit by any LC Participant.

(b) If the LC Issuer is required at any time to return to the Borrower, or to a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian, or any official in any Insolvency Proceeding, any portion of the payments made by the Borrower to the LC Issuer pursuant to this Agreement in reimbursement of a payment made under a Letter of Credit or interest or fee thereon, each LC Participant shall, on demand of the LC Issuer, forthwith return to the LC Issuer the amount of its Pro Rata Share of any amounts so returned by the LC Issuer plus interest at the Federal Funds Rate, from the date the payment was first made to such LC Participant through, but not including, the date the payment is returned by such LC Participant.

(c) If any Letters of Credit are outstanding and undrawn on the Facility Maturity Date, the LC Collateral Account shall be funded from Collections (or, in the Borrower’s sole discretion, by other funds available to the Borrower) in an amount equal to the aggregate undrawn face amount of such Letters of Credit plus all related fees to accrue through the stated expiration dates thereof (such fees to accrue, as reasonably estimated by the LC Issuer, the “LC Fee Expectation”).

Section 15.06 Documentation.

The Borrower agrees to be bound by the terms of the Letter of Credit Application and by the LC Issuer’s interpretations of any Letter of Credit issued for the Borrower and by the LC Issuer’s written regulations and customary practices relating to letters of credit, though the LC Issuer’s interpretation of such regulations and practices may be different from the Borrower’s own. In the event of a conflict between the Letter of Credit Application and this Agreement, this Agreement shall govern. The LC Issuer shall not be liable for any error, negligence and/or mistakes, whether of omission or commission, in following the Borrower’s instructions or those contained in the Letters of Credit or any modifications, amendments or supplements thereto.

120

Section 15.07 Determination to Honor Drawing Request.

In determining whether to honor any request for drawing under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, the LC Issuer shall be responsible only to determine that the documents and certificates required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit have been delivered and that they comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit and that any other drawing condition appearing on the face of such Letter of Credit has been satisfied in the manner so set forth.

122

Section 15.10 Liability for Acts or Omissions.

(a) As between the Borrower, on the one hand, and the Agent, the LC Issuer, the LC Participants, and the other Secured Parties, on the other, the Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of any Letter of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, none of the Agent, the LC Issuer, the LC Participants, or any other Secured Party shall be responsible for: (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for an issuance of any such Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged (even if the LC Issuer, any LC Participant or any other Secured Party shall have been notified thereof); (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) the failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit, or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred, to comply fully with any conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit or any other claim of the Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, or any such transferee, or any dispute between or among the Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any such transferee; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, electronic mail, cable, telegraph, telex, facsimile or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Agent, the LC Issuer, the LC Participants, and the other Secured Parties, including any Governmental Acts, and none of the above shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of, any of the LC Issuer’s rights or powers hereunder. In no event shall the Agent, the LC Issuer, the LC Participants, or the other Secured Parties or their respective Affiliates, be liable to the Borrower or any other Person for any indirect, consequential, incidental, punitive, exemplary or special damages or expenses (including without limitation Attorney Costs), or for any damages resulting from any change in the value of any property relating to a Letter of Credit.

(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent, the LC Issuer, the LC Participants, and the other Secured Parties and each of their respective Affiliates (i) may rely on any written communication believed in good faith by such Person to have been authorized or given by or on behalf of the applicant for a Letter of Credit; (ii) may honor any presentation if the documents presented appear on their face to comply with the terms and conditions of the relevant Letter of Credit; (iii) may honor a previously dishonored presentation under a Letter of Credit, whether such dishonor was pursuant to a court order, to settle or compromise any claim of wrongful dishonor, or otherwise, and shall be entitled to reimbursement to the same extent as if such presentation had initially been honored, together with any interest paid by the LC Issuer or its Affiliates; (iv) may honor any drawing that is payable upon presentation of a statement advising negotiation or payment, upon receipt of such statement (even if such statement indicates that a draft or other document is being delivered separately), and shall not be liable for any failure of any such draft or other document to arrive, or to conform in any way with the relevant Letter of Credit; (v) may pay any paying or negotiating bank claiming that it rightfully honored under the laws or practices of the place where such bank is located; and (vi) may settle or adjust any claim or demand made on the Agent, the LC Issuer, the LC Participants, or the other Secured Parties or their respective Affiliates, in any way related to any order issued at the applicant’s request to an air carrier, a letter of guarantee or of indemnity issued to a carrier or any similar document (each, an “Order”) and may honor any drawing in connection with any Letter of Credit that is the subject of such Order, notwithstanding that any drafts or other documents presented in connection with such Letter of Credit fail to conform in any way with such Letter of Credit.

123

(c) In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions set forth above, any action taken or omitted by the LC Issuer under or in connection with any Letter of Credit issued by it or any documents and certificates delivered thereunder, if taken or omitted in good faith and without gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, shall not put the LC Issuer under any resulting liability to the Borrower, any Secured Party or any other Person.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to the requirements of any applicable privacy laws, each party may disclose the Confidential Information (a) to any of their respective Affiliates and to their and their respective Affiliates’ officers, directors, managers, administrators, trustees, employees, agents, accountants, legal counsel and other representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such information and instructed to keep such information confidential), (b) to the extent required by applicable law, regulation, subpoena or other legal process, (c) to the extent requested by any governmental or regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such party (including any self-regulatory authority), (d) to any other party involved in the Facility, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other or the Basic Documents or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Basic Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) with the consent of the other parties, (g) to any equity investors or institutional creditors or potential equity investors or institutional creditors of such party and/or its Affiliates, or (h) to the extent that such information (i) was or becomes available to, and readily obtainable by, such party from a source other than a party hereto, (ii) has been independently acquired or developed by any such party without violating any of their respective obligations under this Agreement, or (iii) becomes publicly available and readily obtainable other than as a result of a breach of this Section 16.04.
