(“MUFG”), as agent for the Purchasers hereunder or any successor agent hereunder (together with its successors and assigns hereunder, the “Agent”). Unless defined elsewhere herein, capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in Exhibit I.

PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS

The Seller intends to sell and assign to Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers, the Receivables and certain other related assets.

MUFG has been requested and is willing to act as Agent on behalf of the Conduits (if any) and the Financial Institutions in accordance with the terms hereof.

AGREEMENT

Now therefore, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I.

PURCHASE ARRANGEMENTS

Section 1.1Purchase Facility.

a.Upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, during the period from the date hereof to but not including the Facility Termination Date, Seller shall sell and assign, as described in Section 1.2(b), the Asset Portfolio to Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers. In accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Conduit may (in its sole discretion), and each Financial Institution severally hereby agrees to, instruct Agent to make cash payments to Seller of the related Cash Purchase Price in respect of the Asset Portfolio (each such cash payment, an “Incremental Purchase”) on behalf of such Purchasers, in each

740395379 19636993

RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AGREEMENT

case and from time to time in an aggregate amount not to exceed at such time (i) in the case of a Financial Institution, its Commitment, (ii) in the case of any Purchaser Group, the Commitment of the Financial Institution in such Purchaser Group and (iii) in the aggregate, the lesser of (A) the Purchase Limit and (B) the aggregate amount of the Commitments. Any amount not paid for the Asset Portfolio hereunder as Cash Purchase Price shall be paid to Seller as the RPA Deferred Purchase Price pursuant to, and only to the extent required by, the priority of payments set forth in Sections 2.2(b) and 2.3 and otherwise pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (including Section 2.7).

b.Seller may, upon at least 10 Business Days’ prior notice to Agent and each Purchaser Agent, terminate in whole or reduce in part, ratably among the Financial Institutions, the unused portion of the Purchase Limit; provided that (i) each partial reduction of the Purchase Limit shall be in an amount equal to $1,000,000 or an integral multiple thereof, (ii) the aggregate of the Commitments for all of the Financial Institutions shall be terminated in whole or reduced in part, ratably among the Financial Institutions, by an amount equal to such termination or reduction in the Purchase Limit and (iii) no such partial reduction shall reduce the Purchase Limit to an amount less than $200,000,000.

Section 1.2Increases; Sale of Asset Portfolio.

a.Increases. Seller shall provide Agent and each Purchaser Agent with prior notice in a form set forth as Exhibit II hereto of each Incremental Purchase (a “Purchase Notice”) by 12:00 noon (New York City time) at least three Business Days prior to the requested date of such Incremental Purchase. Each Purchase Notice shall be subject to Article VI hereof and, except as set forth below, shall be irrevocable, shall specify the requested Cash Purchase Price (which shall not be less than $1,000,000 and in additional increments of $100,000) and the requested date of such Incremental Purchase (which shall be on a Business Day). Following receipt of a Purchase Notice, each Purchaser Agent will promptly notify the Conduit (if any) in such Purchaser Agent’s Purchaser Group of such Purchase Notice and Agent and each Purchaser Agent will identify the Conduits (if any) that agree to make the Purchase. If any Conduit declines to make a proposed Incremental Purchase or if any Purchaser Group does not include a Conduit, such Incremental Purchase will be made by (i) such declining Conduit’s Related Financial Institution(s) or (ii) the Financial Institution(s) included in such Purchaser Group that does not include a Conduit, as applicable, in accordance with the rest of this Section 1.2(a). On the date of each Incremental Purchase, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article VI and the conditions set forth in this Section 1.2(a), the Conduits and/or the Financial Institutions, as applicable, shall deposit to the Facility Account, in immediately available funds, no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time), an amount equal to its Purchaser Group’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate Cash Purchase Price in respect of such Incremental Purchase. Each Financial Institution’s obligation shall be several, such that the failure of any Financial Institution to make available to Seller any funds in connection with any Incremental Purchase shall not relieve any other Financial Institution of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make funds available on the date of such Incremental Purchase, but no Financial Institution shall be responsible for the failure of any other Financial Institution to make funds available in connection with any Incremental Purchase.

740395379 19636993

RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AGREEMENT

(b) Sale of Asset Portfolio. In accordance with Sections 1.1(a) and 1.2(a), Seller hereby sells, assigns and transfers to Agent (on behalf of the Purchasers), for the related Cash Purchase Price and the RPA Deferred Purchase Price, effective on and as of the date of each Purchase hereunder, all of its right, title and interest in, to and under all Receivables and the Related Security and Collections relating to such Receivables, in each case, existing as of the date of such Purchase that have been acquired by Seller as provided herein and in the other Transaction Documents on or prior to the date of such Purchase. The Purchasers’ right, title and interest in and to such assets is herein called the “Asset Portfolio”.

Section 1.3Decreases. Seller shall return in full the Aggregate Capital on the Obligations Final Due Date. Prior thereto, Seller shall provide Agent and each Purchaser with an irrevocable prior written notice (a “Reduction Notice”) of any proposed reduction of the Aggregate Capital no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed reduction date. Such Reduction Notice shall designate (i) the date (the “Proposed Reduction Date”) upon which any such reduction of the Aggregate Capital shall occur and (ii) the amount of the Aggregate Capital to be reduced (the “Aggregate Reduction”), which shall be applied ratably to the aggregate Capital of each Purchaser in accordance with the amount of Capital owing to such Purchaser. Only one (1) Reduction Notice shall be outstanding at any time. In connection with any reduction of the Aggregate Capital pursuant to this Section, Seller shall pay to the applicable Purchaser on the immediately following Settlement Date all Broken Funding Costs arising as a result of such reduction and any accrued and unpaid CP Costs and Financial Institution Yield in respect of such portion of Capital so reduced.

Section 1.4Payment Requirements. All amounts to be paid or deposited by any Seller Party pursuant to any provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall be paid or deposited in accordance with the terms hereof no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the day when due in immediately available funds, and if not received before 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) shall be deemed to be received on the next succeeding Business Day. If such amounts are payable to (i) Agent, they shall be paid to Agent for its own account, in accordance with the applicable instructions from time to time notified by the Agent to such Person and (ii) any Purchaser Agent or Purchaser, they shall be paid to the Purchaser Agent for such Person’s Purchaser Group, for the account of such Person, in accordance with the applicable instructions from time to time notified by such Purchaser Agent or Purchaser (each instruction set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) being a “Payment Instruction”).

All computations of Financial Institution Yield, per annum fees or discount calculated as part of any CP Costs, per annum fees hereunder and per annum fees under any Fee Letter shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days (or, in the case of amounts determined by reference to the Alternate Base Rate, 365 or 366 days, as applicable) for the actual number of days elapsed. If any amount hereunder or under any other Transaction Document shall be payable on a day which is not a Business Day, such amount shall be payable on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of such payment or deposit.

740395379 19636993

RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AGREEMENT

Section 1.5Taxes. (a) Except to the extent required by Applicable Law, any and all payments and deposits required to be made hereunder, under any other Transaction Document or under any instrument delivered hereunder or thereunder to any Indemnified Party or otherwise hereunder or thereunder by Seller or Servicer shall be made free and clear of, and without withholding or deduction for, any and all present or future Taxes. If Seller, Servicer or the Agent shall be required by Applicable Law to make any such withholding or deduction, (A) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, Seller (or Servicer, on its behalf) shall make an additional payment to such Indemnified Party, in an amount sufficient so that, after making all required withholdings or deductions (including withholdings or deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 1.5(a)), such Indemnified Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholdings or deductions been made, (B) Seller (or Servicer, on its behalf), Servicer or the Agent shall make such withholding or deduction and (C) Seller (or Servicer, on its behalf), Servicer or the Agent shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.

b.Seller will indemnify each Indemnified Party for the full amount of Indemnified Taxes payable by such Indemnified Party (including any Indemnified Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section) and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) attributable thereto and any reasonable expenses. Any indemnification under this Section 1.5(b) shall be paid on the next Settlement Date after the date any Indemnified Party makes written demand therefor, together with a statement of reasons for such demand and the calculations of such amount. Such calculations, if made in good faith, absent manifest error, shall be final and conclusive on all parties.

c.Each Purchaser shall severally indemnify Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Purchaser (but only to the extent that Seller has not already indemnified Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of Seller to do so) and (ii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Purchaser, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Agent in connection with any Transaction 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 Purchaser by Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Purchaser hereby authorizes Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Purchaser under any Transaction Document or otherwise payable by Agent to such Purchaser from any other source against any amount due to Agent under this Section 1.5(c).

d.Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes withheld by any of Seller or Servicer, as applicable, in respect of any payment to any Indemnified Party, Seller or Servicer, as applicable, will furnish to Agent and each Purchaser Agent, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof (or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to Agent).

740395379 19636993

RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AGREEMENT

the purchase price for Receivables purchased by the Seller on such date in accordance with the terms of the Receivables Sale Agreement.

fifth, for the ratable payment of all other unpaid Obligations, provided that to the extent such Obligations relate to the payment of Servicer costs and expenses, including the Servicing Fee, when CNE or one of its Affiliates is acting as Servicer, such costs and expenses will not be paid until after the payment in full of all other Obligations;

sixth, to the applicable Persons, for the ratable payment in full of all other Aggregate Unpaids; and

Section 2.5Payment Rescission. No payment of any of the Aggregate Unpaids shall be considered paid or applied hereunder to the extent that, at any time, all or any portion of such payment or application is rescinded by application of law or judicial authority, or must otherwise be returned or refunded for any reason. Seller shall remain obligated for the amount of any payment or application so rescinded, returned or refunded, and shall promptly pay to Agent (for application to the Person or Persons who suffered such rescission, return or refund), the full amount thereof, plus the Default Fee from the date of any such rescission, return or refunding, in each case, if such rescinded amounts have not been paid under Section 2.2 or 2.3.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Seller shall ensure that the Net Receivable Pool Balance shall at no time be less than the sum of (i) the Aggregate Capital at such time, plus (ii) the Required Reserves at such time. If, on any date of determination, the sum of (i) the Aggregate Capital, plus (ii) the Required Reserves exceeds the Net Receivable Pool Balance, in each case at such time, Seller shall pay to the Purchasers within three (3) Business Days an amount to be applied to reduce the Aggregate Capital (allocated ratably based on the ratio of each Purchaser’s Capital at such time to the Aggregate Capital at such time), such that after giving effect to such payment, the Net Receivable Pool Balance equals or exceeds the sum of (i) the Aggregate Capital, plus (ii) the Required Reserves, in each case at such time.

Section 2.7Limitation on Payments. Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to the contrary, none of the Purchasers or Agent shall, and none of them shall be obligated (whether on behalf of a Purchaser or otherwise) to, pay any amount to Seller in respect of any portion of the RPA Deferred Purchase Price, except to the extent that Collections are available for distribution to Seller in accordance with this Agreement.

Any amount which Agent or a Purchaser is not obligated to pay pursuant to the operation of the two preceding sentences shall not constitute a claim (as defined in § 101 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code) against, or corporate obligation of, any Purchaser or Agent, as applicable, for any such
