ARTICLE II
Amounts and Terms of the Purchases
Section 2.1 Commitment.
On the terms and conditions herein set forth, each Purchaser severally agrees to make
Purchases (i) on the Closing Date and from time to time thereafter on any Business Day during the
period from the Closing Date to the Termination Date and (ii) in an aggregate amount for such
Purchaser not to exceed at any time outstanding such Purchaser’s Commitment; provided, however,
that no Purchaser shall be obligated to make any Purchase to the extent that, after giving effect
to such Purchase, (x) the Capital then outstanding would exceed the Maximum Capital or (y) such
Purchaser’s Capital Investment would
28
exceed such Purchaser’s Commitment. Purchases shall be made by the Purchasers simultaneously
and ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments.
Section 2.2 Making Purchases.
(a) Each Purchase of a Receivable Interest by the Purchasers shall be made on notice from the
Seller to the Agent, given not later than (i) 1:00 P.M. (
New York time) on the third Business Day
before the date of such Purchase in the case of the Purchase of any Receivable Interest initially
bearing Yield at the Applicable LIBO Rate and (ii) 12:00 P.M. (
New York time) on the Business Day
of such Purchase in the case of the Purchase of any Receivable Interest initially bearing Yield at
the Applicable Base Rate. Each such notice of a proposed Purchase of a Receivable Interest (a
“
Notice of Purchase”) shall be by telephone (confirmed promptly thereafter in writing),
facsimile or by electronic mail (or similar means), in substantially the form of
Exhibit F
hereto, and shall specify the requested aggregate amount of such Purchase to be paid to the Seller
and the requested Business Day of such Purchase. Each Purchase of any Receivable Interest under
this Section 2.2 shall be in an aggregate amount which is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and
which is not less than the lesser of $5,000,000 and the remaining available balance of the
Commitments.
(b) The Agent shall give each Purchaser prompt notice of such Notice of Purchase, the date of
such Purchase, and the amount of such Purchaser’s Capital Investment in connection with such
Purchase, by telephone or telefax. On the date of such Purchase, each Purchaser shall, upon
satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 3.2, make available to the Agent its
Ratable Portion of the aggregate amount of such Purchase by deposit of such Ratable Portion in same
day funds to the Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York time) on the Business Day
specified in the applicable Notice of Purchase, and, after receipt by the Agent of such funds, the
Agent shall cause such funds to be made immediately available to the Seller at the Seller’s
Account.
(c) Each Notice of Purchase delivered pursuant to Section 2.2(a) shall be irrevocable and
binding on the Seller.
(d) Unless the Agent shall have received notice from a Purchaser prior to the date of any
Purchase that such Purchaser will not make available to the Agent such Purchaser’s Ratable Portion
of such Purchase, the Agent may assume that such Purchaser has made such Ratable Portion available
to the Agent on the date of such Purchase in accordance with Section 2.2(b), and the Agent may, in
reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Seller on such date a corresponding amount.
However, if the Agent has received such notice from such Purchaser, the Agent may not make such
assumption and may not make available to the Seller on such date such corresponding amount. If and
to the extent that such Purchaser (other than a Purchaser that has delivered to the Agent a notice
of the type described in the two immediately preceding sentences) shall not have made such Ratable
Portion available to the Agent and the Agent has made such Ratable Portion available to the Seller,
such Purchaser and the Seller severally agree to pay (to the extent not repaid by the Seller or
such Purchaser, respectively) to the Agent promptly on demand such corresponding amount together
with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Seller until
the date such amount is repaid to the Agent, at (i) in the case of the Seller, the Yield applicable
to such amount and (ii) in the case of such Purchaser, the Federal Funds Rate. If such Purchaser
shall repay to the Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such
Purchaser’s Ratable Portion of such Purchase for purposes of this Agreement.
(e) The failure of any Purchaser to make available such Purchaser’s Ratable Portion of any
Purchase shall not relieve any other Purchaser of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make
available such other Purchaser’s Ratable Portion of such Purchase on the date of such Purchase, but
no Purchaser
29
shall be responsible for the failure of any other Purchaser to make available such other
Purchaser’s Ratable Portion of such Purchase on the date of any Purchase. Nothing herein shall
prejudice any rights that the Seller may have against any Purchaser as a result of any default by
such Purchaser hereunder.
Section 2.3 Repurchase of Receivables.
(a) On the Termination Date, the Seller irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that it shall
automatically, without demand or notice or any other action by any Person, repurchase all
Receivables from the Purchasers (its “Termination Repurchase Obligation”) for a purchase
price equal to the aggregate outstanding Capital at such time (regardless of the Outstanding
Balance thereof at such time) plus all accrued Yield then due and payable.
(b) In the event that the Seller gives notice to the Agent that it intends to effectuate a
Guaranty Protection Termination pursuant to Section 7.03(d) of the Receivables Sale Agreement with
respect to an Originator, the Agent shall give notice to that effect to the Purchasers specifying
the Guaranty Protection Termination Date, which shall be a date not earlier than three Business
Days after the date on which the Seller’s notice is received by the Agent. On the Guaranty
Protection Termination Date, the Seller shall repurchase from the Purchasers (its “Guaranty
Protection Repurchase Obligation”), and the Purchasers shall sell to the Seller, all Receivable
Interests of the Purchasers in the Pool Receivables generated by such Originator with respect to
which Collections shall not yet have been received in any Restricted Account (other than any
Lock-Box Account) prior to the Guaranty Protection Termination Date for a purchase price equal to
the Repurchase Amount. The Repurchase Amount shall be subject to Section 2.12(d) and accompanied
by accrued and unpaid Yield on such Repurchase Amount to but excluding the Guaranty Protection
Termination Date. Upon the repurchase of such Receivable Interests by the Seller pursuant to this
Section 2.3(b), all Receivables generated by the applicable Originator shall cease to be Pool
Receivables. Should the Purchasers receive any Collections on any such repurchased Receivable
Interests, the Purchasers shall promptly remit such Collections to the Seller.
(c) Each Purchaser acknowledges and agrees to the provisions set forth in this Section 2.3.
Section 2.4 Termination or Reduction of the Commitments; Voluntary Reductions of Capital.
(a) The Seller may, upon at least three Business Days’ notice to the Agent, and so long as,
after giving effect to a proposed reduction, no Event of Termination or Potential Event of
Termination, would exist, terminate in whole or reduce in part, the unused portions of the
Commitments of the Purchasers; provided, however, that for purposes of this Section 2.4, the unused
portions of the Commitments of the Purchasers shall be computed as (a) the Total Commitments
immediately prior to giving effect to such termination or reduction less (b) the outstanding
Capital at the time of such computation; provided, further, that each such partial
reduction of the unused portions of the Commitments (x) shall be in an amount equal to at least
$5,000,000 and shall be an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (y) shall be made
ratably among the Purchasers’ Commitments according to each Purchaser’s Ratable Portion and (z)
shall reduce the Total Commitments in an amount equal to each such reduction.
(b) The Seller may, upon at least three Business Days’ notice to the Agent or upon one
Business Day’s notice to the Agent in the case of reductions in outstanding Capital bearing Yield
solely at the Applicable Base Rate, reduce the outstanding Capital in whole or in part;
provided that each such partial reduction of Capital shall be in a minimum amount of
$5,000,000 and an integral multiple of $1,000,000.
30
Section 2.5 Receivable Interest.
(a) On the date of Purchase of any Receivable Interest and on any Guaranty Protection
Termination Date, such Receivable Interest shall be initially computed, after giving effect to such
Purchase or repurchase pursuant to any Guaranty Protection Repurchase Obligation, as applicable, as
of the close of business of the Servicer on such date. Thereafter until the later of the
Termination Date or the date on which Capital is reduced to zero, such Receivable Interest shall be
automatically recomputed as of the close of business of the Servicer on each day.
(b) Such Receivable Interest shall remain constant from the time as of which any such
computation or recomputation is made until the time as of which the next such recomputation, if
any, shall be made.
(c) Such Receivable Interest shall become zero at such time as the Purchasers of such
Receivable Interest shall have received the accrued Yield for such Receivable Interest, shall have
recovered the Capital Investment of such Receivable Interest, and shall have received payment of
all other amounts then payable by the Seller to such Purchasers, and the Servicer shall have
received the accrued the Servicer Fee for such Receivable Interest.
Section 2.6 Ordinary Settlement Procedures.
(a) On the second Business Day of each week (other than a Liquidation Day or a day on which a
Triggering Event exists), or more frequently if desired by the Servicer or required by the Seller,
the Servicer shall, out of Collections of Pool Receivables received by the last Business Day of the
week immediately preceding such day (or as of a more current date if desired by the Servicer or
required by the Seller):
(i) first, to the extent then due and payable, pay to the Servicer (if
the Servicer is not an Originator or an Affiliate of an Originator) or the Agent and
the Purchasers, as applicable, an amount in U.S. Dollars equal to the Servicer Fee,
the Yield, the Unused Commitment Fee, the Agent’s Fee and any other Obligations of
the Seller;
(ii) second, if (A) such day is the second Business Day of the week
following the week in which a Seller Report is or is required to be delivered, (B) a
Shortfall Condition exists as of the last day of the period covered by such Seller
Report, and (C) the Agent does not receive an updated Seller Report demonstrating
that a Shortfall Condition does not exist on such second Business Day, distribute to
the Agent for the account of the Purchasers an amount in U.S. Dollars equal to that
amount, if any, which would be required to reduce Capital so that the aggregate
Receivable Interests would not, after giving effect to such application and the
Collections of Pool Receivables and the addition of new Pool Receivables on such day
and the resulting automatic recomputation of such Receivable Interests pursuant to
Section 2.5 as of the end of such day, exceed 100%; provided that (x) the
Agent shall apply such amount, first, to reduce all Capital Investments as to which
Yield is determined on the basis of the Base Rate and (y) second, to reduce all
Capital Investments as to which Yield is determined on the basis of the LIBO Rate;
provided that in lieu of immediately reducing the Capital Investments as to
which Yield is determined on the basis of the LIBO Rate, the Agent, at the direction
of the Seller, may transfer such amount to the Cash Assets Account and such amount
shall be deemed to reduce Capital by the amount so held pending application thereof
to reduce Capital Investments as to which Yield is calculated on the basis of the
LIBO Rate on the last day of each Yield Period applicable thereto (occurring in
chronological order);
31
provided, further, however, that if the Agent
subsequently receives a request from the Servicer or the Seller for a withdrawal of
all or a portion of such amounts that are then held in the Cash Assets Account and a
Seller Report demonstrating that a Shortfall Condition, after giving effect to such
requested withdrawal, does not exist, then the Agent shall release such amounts to
the Servicer for further application under this Section 2.6(a);
(iii) third, distribute to the Agent for the account of the Purchasers
of each Receivable Interest an amount in U.S. Dollars equal to that amount, if any,
then required to be applied to reduce the Capital Investment of such Receivable
Interest pursuant to the notice of the Seller delivered under Section 2.4(b);
(iv) fourth, distribute to the Agent for deposit into the Cash Assets
Account such amount as the Seller, at its option, has specified to the Agent, which
amount shall be deemed to reduce Capital by a corresponding amount;
provided, however, that if the Agent subsequently receives a request
from the Servicer for a withdrawal of all or a portion of such amounts that are then
held in the Cash Assets Account and a Seller Report demonstrating that a Shortfall
Condition, after giving effect to such requested withdrawal, does not exist, then
the Agent shall release such amounts to the Servicer for further application under
this Section 2.6(a).
(v) fifth, to the extent then due and payable, distribute to the
Servicer (if the Servicer is an Originator or an Affiliate of an Originator) the
accrued Servicer Fee; and
(vi) sixth, reinvest the remainder of such Collections, for the benefit
of the Purchasers, which reinvestment shall result in (x) an automatic recomputation
of the undivided percentage interest represented by such Receivable Interest
pursuant to Section 2.5 as of the end of such day and (y) the payment of such
remainder to the Seller; provided, however, that to the extent the
Agent or any Purchaser shall be required for any reason to pay over any amount
representing Collections which have been previously reinvested for the benefit of
such Purchaser pursuant hereto, such amount shall be deemed not to have been so
reinvested but rather to have been retained by the Seller and paid over for the
account of such Purchaser and, notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary,
such Purchaser shall have a claim for such amount;
provided, however, that if sufficient funds are not available to fund all payments to be made in
respect of any amounts described in any of clauses first, second, third, fourth and fifth above,
the available funds being applied with respect to any such amounts (unless otherwise specified in
such clause) shall be allocated to the payment of the amounts referred to in such clause ratably,
based on the proportion of the Servicer’s, the Agent’s or the Purchasers’ interest in the aggregate
outstanding amounts described in such clause.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Transaction Document (but subject to
Section 2.7 and Section 2.8), all amounts in the Concentration Account shall be automatically
transferred to the Seller’s Account, and payments and distributions by the Servicer pursuant to
Section 2.6(a) shall be made from funds so transferred to the Seller’s Account.
32
Section 2.7 Triggering Event Settlement Procedures.
(a) On each Business Day (other than a Liquidation Day) on which a Triggering Event exists,
the Agent (and not the Servicer) shall, out of Collections of Pool Receivables received on such
Business Day:
(i) first, to the extent then due and payable, pay to the Servicer (if
the Servicer is not an Originator or an Affiliate of an Originator), the Agent and
the Purchasers, as applicable, an amount in U.S. Dollars equal to the Servicer Fee,
the Yield, the Unused Commitment Fee, the Agent’s Fee and any other Obligations of
the Seller;
(ii) second, if (A) such day is the second Business Day following the
date on which a Seller Report is or is required to be delivered, (B) a Shortfall
Condition exists as of the last day of the period covered by such Seller Report, and
(C) the Agent does not receive an updated Seller Report demonstrating that a
Shortfall Condition does not exist on such second Business Day, distribute to the
Agent for the account of the Purchasers an amount in U.S. Dollars equal to that
amount, if any, which would be required to reduce Capital so that the aggregate
Receivable Interests would not, after giving effect to such application and the
Collections of Pool Receivables and the addition of new Pool Receivables on such day
and the resulting automatic recomputation of such Receivable Interests pursuant to
Section 2.5 as of the end of such day, exceed 100%; provided that (x) the
Agent shall apply such amount, first, to reduce all Capital Investments as to which
Yield is determined on the basis of the Base Rate and (y) second, to reduce all
Capital Investments as to which Yield is determined on the basis of the LIBO Rate;
provided that in lieu of immediately reducing the Capital Investments as to
which Yield is determined on the basis of the LIBO Rate, the Agent, at the direction
of the Seller, may transfer such amount to the Cash Assets Account and such amount
shall be deemed to reduce Capital by the amount so held pending application thereof
to reduce Capital Investments as to which Yield is calculated on the basis of the
LIBO Rate on the last day of each Yield Period applicable thereto (occurring in
chronological order); provided, further, however, that if
the Agent subsequently receives a request from the Servicer or the Seller for a
withdrawal of all or a portion of such amounts that are then held in the Cash Assets
Account and a Seller Report demonstrating that a Shortfall Condition does not exist
and certifying that either (x) the conditions to an Investment Event would be
satisfied or (y) a Triggering Event ceases to exist, in each case after giving
effect to such requested withdrawal, then the Agent shall release such amounts for
further application under this Section 2.7(a);
(iii) third, distribute to the Purchasers of each Receivable Interest
an amount in U.S. Dollars equal to that amount, if any, then required to be applied
to reduce the Capital Investment of such Receivable Interest pursuant to the notice
of the Seller delivered under Section 2.4(b);
(iv) fourth, deposit into the Cash Assets Account such amount as the
Seller, at its option, has specified to the Agent, which amount shall be deemed to
reduce Capital by a corresponding amount; provided, however, that if
the Agent subsequently receives a request from the Servicer or the Seller for a
withdrawal of all or a portion of such amounts that are then held in the Cash Assets
Account and a Seller Report demonstrating that a Shortfall Condition does not exist
and certifying that either (x) the conditions to an Investment Event would be
satisfied or (y) a Triggering Event ceases to exist, in each
33
case after giving effect to such requested withdrawal, then the Agent shall
release such amounts for further application under this Section 2.7(a);
(v) fifth, to the extent then due and payable, distribute to the
Servicer (if the Servicer is an Originator or an Affiliate of an Originator) the
accrued Servicer Fee; and
(vi) sixth, reinvest the remainder of such Collections, for the benefit
of the Purchasers, which reinvestment shall result in (x) the automatic
recomputation of the undivided percentage interest represented by such Receivable
Interest pursuant to Section 2.5 as of the end of such day and (y) the payment of
such remainder to the Seller; provided, however, that (A) to the
extent the Agent or any Purchaser shall be required for any reason to pay over any
amount representing Collections which have been previously reinvested for the
benefit of such Purchaser pursuant hereto, such amount shall be deemed not to have
been so reinvested but rather to have been retained by the Seller and paid over for
the account of such Purchaser and, notwithstanding any provision herein to the
contrary, such Purchaser shall have a claim for such amount and (B) either (I) if a
Liquidity Threshold Event has occurred and is continuing on any such day or (II) if
the conditions to an Investment Event would not be satisfied on such day, such
reinvestment and payment shall not be made and instead such remainder shall be
applied to reduce all Capital Investments as follows: (1) first, to reduce all
Capital Investments as to which Yield is determined on the basis of the Base Rate
and (2) second, to reduce all Capital Investments as to which Yield is determined on
the basis of the LIBO Rate; provided that in lieu of immediately reducing
the Capital Investments as to which Yield is determined on the basis of the LIBO
Rate, the Agent, at the direction of the Seller, may transfer such amount to the
Cash Assets Account and such amount shall be deemed to reduce Capital by the amount
so held pending application thereof to reduce Capital Investments as to which Yield
is calculated on the basis of the LIBO Rate on the last day of each Yield Period
applicable thereto (occurring in chronological order); provided,
further, however, that if the Agent subsequently receives a request
from the Servicer or the Seller for a withdrawal of all or a portion of such amounts
that are then held in the Cash Assets Account and either (I) the Agent receives a
Seller Report demonstrating that a Shortfall Condition does not exist and certifying
that either the conditions to an Investment Event would be satisfied or a Triggering
Event does not exist, in each case after giving effect to such requested withdrawal,
or (II) the aggregate Capital is zero, then the Agent shall release such amounts for
reinvestment and payment to the Seller;
provided, however, that if sufficient funds are not available to fund all payments
to be made in respect of any amounts described in any of clauses first, second, third, fourth and
fifth above, the available funds being applied with respect to any such amounts (unless otherwise
specified in such clause) shall be allocated to the payment of the amounts referred to in such
clause ratably, based on the proportion of the Servicer’s, the Agent’s or the Purchasers’ interest
in the aggregate outstanding amounts described in such clause.
(b) On each Business Day during which a Triggering Event exists (other than on a Liquidation
Day), all amounts in the Concentration Account shall be automatically transferred to the Agent’s
Account, and payments and distributions by the Agent pursuant to Section 2.7(a) shall be made from
funds in the Agent’s Account.
34
Section 2.8 Liquidation Settlement Procedures.
On each Liquidation Day, the Agent shall transfer to the Agent’s Account the Collections of
Pool Receivables received on such day, and the Agent shall apply such Collections, and all amounts
held in the Cash Assets Account, as follows:
(i) first, to pay Obligations of the Seller to the Agent under any
Transaction Document in respect of any expense reimbursements, Cash Management
Obligations or indemnities then due to the Agent;
(ii) second, to pay Obligations of the Seller to the Purchasers under
any Transaction Document in respect of any expense reimbursements or indemnities

(vii) seventh, to the extent then due and payable, to the Servicer (if
the Servicer is an Originator or an Affiliate of an Originator) in payment of the
accrued Servicer Fee; and
(viii) to the extent of any remainder, to the Seller;
provided, however, that if sufficient funds are not available to fund all payments to be made in
respect of any amounts described in any of clauses first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth and
seventh above, the available funds being applied with respect to any such amounts (unless otherwise
specified in such clause) shall be allocated to the payment of the amounts referred to in such
clause ratably, based on the proportion of the Servicer’s, the Agent’s or the Purchasers’ interest
in the aggregate outstanding amounts described in such clause.
Section 2.9 General Settlement Procedures.
(a) Except as set forth in clauses (b) and (c) below or as otherwise required by law or the
underlying Contract, all Collections received from an Obligor of any Pool Receivable shall be
applied to Pool Receivables then outstanding of such Obligor in the order of the age of such Pool
Receivables, starting with the oldest such Pool Receivable, except if payment is designated by such
Obligor for application to specific Pool Receivables.
35
(b) If, on any day, the Outstanding Balance of a Pool Receivable is either (x) reduced as a
result of any defective, rejected or returned goods or services, any discount, or any adjustment by
the Seller or any Originator, or (y) reduced or cancelled as a result of a setoff in respect of any
claim by the Obligor thereof against the Seller or any Originator (whether such claim arises out of
the same or a related transaction or an unrelated transaction), and if after giving effect to such
reduction or cancellation a Shortfall Condition exists, the Seller shall be deemed to have received
on such day a Collection of such Receivable in the amount of such reduction or cancellation and
shall make the payment required to be made by it in connection with such Collection on the day
required by, and otherwise pursuant to, Section 5.1(i).
(c) If on any day (x) any of the representations or warranties in Section 4.1(h) is no longer
true with respect to any Pool Receivable or (y) it is discovered that any Receivable that was
included in the Net Receivables Pool Balance as an Eligible Receivable was not an Eligible
Receivable at the time of such inclusion, and if after giving effect to such breach or discovery a
Shortfall Condition exists, the Seller shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection in
full of such Pool Receivable and shall make the payment required to be made by it in connection
with such Collection on the day required by, and otherwise pursuant to, Section 5.1(i).
Section 2.10 Payments and Computations, Etc.
(a) All amounts to be paid or deposited by the Seller or the Servicer hereunder (including any
Repurchase Amount) shall be paid or deposited in accordance with the terms hereof no later than
1:00 P.M. (New York time) on the day when due in U.S. Dollars in same day funds to the Agent’s
Office. The Servicer or the Agent, as applicable, shall promptly thereafter (but in any event, no
later than 4:00 P.M. (New York time) on such day) cause to be distributed (i) like funds relating
to the payment out of Collections in respect of Capital, Yield, the Servicer Fee or other
Obligations payable out of Collections, to the Purchasers (according to each Purchaser’s Ratable
Portion) and the Servicer in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.6, 2.7, or 2.8, as
applicable and (ii) like funds relating to the payment by the Seller of other Obligations payable
by the Seller hereunder, to the parties hereto for whose benefit such funds were paid (and if such
funds are insufficient, such distribution shall be made, subject to Section 2.6, 2.7 or 2.8, as
applicable, ratably in accordance with the respective amounts thereof), it being understood and
agreed that (subject to Section 2.7 and Section 2.8) all like funds remaining thereafter (if any)
shall be deposited in the Seller’s Account as payment to the Seller in accordance with Section
2.6(a)(vi)(y). Upon the Agent’s acceptance of an Assignment and Acceptance and recording of the
information contained therein in the Register pursuant to Section 9.2, from and after the effective
date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance, the Agent shall make all payments hereunder in
respect of the interest assigned thereby to the Assignee thereunder, and the parties to such
Assignment and Acceptance shall make all appropriate adjustments in such payments for periods prior
to such effective date directly between themselves.
(b) The Seller shall, to the extent permitted by law, pay to the Agent interest on all amounts
not paid or deposited when due hereunder (except for those amounts with respect to which Yield
accrues) at 2.00% per annum above the Base Rate in effect from time to time, payable on demand,
provided, however, that such interest rate shall not at any time exceed the maximum rate permitted
by applicable law. Such interest shall be for the account of, and distributed by the Agent to, the
applicable Purchasers ratably in accordance with their respective interests in such overdue amount.
(c) All computations of interest and all computations of Yield based on the Applicable LIBO
Rate, all Unused Commitment Fee and all other per annum fees hereunder shall be made on the basis
of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first but excluding the last
day) elapsed. All computations of Yield based on the Applicable Base Rate shall be made on the
36
basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, for the actual number of days (including
the first but excluding the last day) elapsed.
(d) Unless the Agent shall have received notice from the Servicer or the Seller prior to the
date on which any payment is due to the Purchasers hereunder that the Servicer or the Seller, as
the case may be, will not make such payment in full, the Agent may assume that the Servicer or the
Seller, as the case may be, has made such payment in full to the Agent on such date and the Agent
may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Purchaser on such due date
an amount equal to the amount then due such Purchaser. If and to the extent the Servicer or the
Seller, as the case may be, shall not have so made such payment in full to the Agent, each
Purchaser shall repay to the Agent promptly on demand such amount distributed to such Purchaser
together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such
Purchaser until the date such Purchaser repays such amount to the Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate.
Section 2.11 Yield and Fees.
(a) All Capital Investments and the outstanding amount of all other Obligations hereunder
shall bear a Yield, in the case of Capital Investments, on the amount thereof from the date such
Capital Investments are made and, in the case of such other Obligations, from the date such other
Obligations are due and payable until, in all cases, paid in full, at the Applicable Yield.
Accrued Yield shall be payable on each Yield Payment Date.
(b) The Seller shall pay to the Agent such fees as are set forth in the Fee Letter.
(c) The Seller shall pay to the Agent for remittance to the Servicer a fee (the “Servicer
Fee”) of 0.50% per annum on the average daily balance of Collections of the Pool Receivables
for the most recently completed quarter, from the date of the initial Purchase hereunder until the
later of the Termination Date or the date on which Capital is reduced to zero, payable in arrears
on the applicable Payment Date; provided, however, that, if at any time, the Servicer is not an
Originator or an Affiliate of an Originator, the Servicer shall be paid, as such fee, the greater
of (i) such amount and (ii) 120% of its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by it
in servicing, administering and collecting the Pool Receivables; and, provided further, that such
fee shall be payable only from Collections pursuant to, and subject to the priority of payment set
forth in, Sections 2.6, 2.7 and 2.8.
(d) The Seller agrees to pay to each Purchaser an unused commitment fee on the actual daily
amount by which the Commitment of such Purchaser exceeds such Purchaser’s Capital Investments (the
“Unused Commitment Fee”) from the date hereof through the Termination Date at the rate of
1.00% per annum, payable in arrears on the applicable Payment Date.
Section 2.12 Special Provisions Governing Capital Investments at the Applicable LIBO
Rate.
(a) Increased Costs and Reduced Returns. If any Purchaser determines that as a result of the
introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any Law, in each case after the date
hereof, or such Purchaser’s compliance therewith, there shall be any increase in the cost to such
Purchaser of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining LIBO Rate Capital Investments, or a
reduction in the amount received or receivable by such Purchaser in connection with any of the
foregoing (excluding for purposes of this Section 2.12 any such increased costs or reduction in
amount resulting from (i) Taxes or Other Taxes (as to which Section 2.14 shall govern), (ii)
changes in the basis of taxation of overall net income or overall gross income (including branch
profits), and franchise (and similar) taxes imposed in lieu of net income taxes, by the United
States or any foreign jurisdiction or any political
37
subdivision of either thereof under the Laws of which such Purchaser is organized, is doing
business or maintains a lending office and (iii) reserve requirements contemplated by Section
2.12(e), then from time to time within 30 days following written demand of such Purchaser setting
forth in reasonable detail such increased costs (with a copy of such demand to the Agent given in
accordance with Section 2.17), the Seller shall pay to such Purchaser such additional amounts as
will compensate such Purchaser for such increased cost or reduction).
(b) Inability to Determine Rates. If the Required Purchasers determine that for any reason
adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the LIBO Rate for any requested Yield
Period with respect to a proposed LIBO Rate Capital Investment, or that the LIBO Rate for any
requested Yield Period with respect to a proposed LIBO Rate Capital Investment does not adequately
and fairly reflect the cost to such Purchasers of funding such Capital Investment, or that deposits
are not being offered to banks in the applicable offshore interbank market for such currency for
the applicable amount and Yield Period of such LIBO Rate Capital Investment, the Agent will
promptly so notify the Seller and each Purchaser. Thereafter, the obligation of the Purchasers to
make or maintain LIBO Rate Capital Investments shall be suspended until the Agent (upon the
instruction of the Required Purchasers) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the
Seller may revoke any pending request for a Capital Investment or conversion to or continuation of
LIBO Rate Capital Investments or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into
a request for a Base Rate Capital Investment in the amount specified therein.
(c) Illegality. If any Purchaser determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any
Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Purchaser to make, maintain or
fund LIBO Rate Capital Investments, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the
Applicable LIBO Rate, then, on notice thereof by such Purchaser to the Seller through the Agent,
any obligation of such Purchaser to make or continue LIBO Rate Capital Investments or to convert
Base Rate Capital Investments to LIBO Rate Capital Investments, shall be suspended until such
Purchaser notifies the Agent and the Seller that the circumstances giving rise to such
determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Seller shall, upon demand from such
Purchaser (with a copy to the Agent), prepay or convert all LIBO Rate Capital Investments of such
Purchaser to Base Rate Capital Investments, either on the last day of the Yield Period therefor, if
such Purchaser may lawfully continue to maintain such LIBO Rate Capital Investments to such day, or
immediately, if such Purchaser may not lawfully continue to maintain such LIBO Rate Capital
Investments. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Seller shall also pay accrued Yield on the
amount so prepaid or converted.
(d) Funding Losses. Upon demand of any Purchaser (with a copy to the Agent), the Seller shall
promptly compensate such Purchaser for and hold such Purchaser harmless from any loss, cost or
expense incurred as follows (collectively, “Liquidation Cost”):
(i) if a proposed Capital Investment, conversion into Capital Investments at
the Applicable LIBO Rate or Continuation does not occur on a date specified therefor
in a Notice of Purchase given by the Seller or in a telephonic request by it for
Purchase or a successive Yield Period does not commence after notice therefor is
given hereunder;
(ii) if for any reason any Capital Investment at the Applicable LIBO Rate is
reduced (including mandatorily pursuant to Section 2.3(b), 2.7 or 2.8) on a date
that is not the last day of the applicable Yield Period;
(iii) as a consequence of a required conversion of a Capital Investment at the
Applicable LIBO Rate to Capital Investment at the Applicable Base Rate as a result
of any of the events indicated in Section 2.12(c) above; or
38
(iv) as a consequence of any failure by the Seller to reduce Capital Investment
at the Applicable LIBO Rate when required by the terms hereof;
including any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by
such Purchaser to make such Capital Investment, any foreign exchange losses or from fees payable to
terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained or from the performance of any foreign
exchange contract.
For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Seller to any Purchaser under this Section
2.12(d), such Purchaser shall be deemed to have funded each LIBO Rate Capital Investment made by it
at the Applicable LIBO Rate by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the offshore interbank
market for such currency for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such
LIBO Rate Capital Investment was in fact so funded.
(e) Reserves on LIBO Rate Capital Investments.
(i) If any Purchaser is required to maintain reserves with respect to
liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits
(currently known as “Eurocurrency liabilities”), the Seller shall pay to such
Purchaser additional Yield on the outstanding amount of each LIBO Rate Capital
Investment equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Capital
Investment by such Purchaser (as determined by such Purchaser in good faith, which
determination shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error).
(ii) If any Purchaser is required to comply with any reserve ratio requirement
or analogous requirement of any other Governmental Authority imposed in respect of
the maintenance of the Commitments or the funding of the LIBO Rate Capital
Investments, the Seller shall pay such additional costs (expressed as a percentage
per annum and rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places)
equal to the actual costs allocated to such Commitment or Capital Investment by such
Purchaser (as determined by such Purchaser in good faith, which determination shall
be conclusive absent manifest error) which in each case shall be due and payable on
each date on which Yield is payable on such Capital Investment.
Any Purchaser requesting payment from the Seller under Section 2.12(e)(i) or (ii) shall give the
Seller at least 15 days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Agent). If a Purchaser fails to give
notice 15 days prior to the relevant Yield Payment Date, such additional Yield or cost shall be due
and payable 15 days from receipt of such notice.
Section 2.13 Capital Adequacy.
If any Purchaser determines that the introduction of any Law regarding capital adequacy or any
change therein or in the interpretation thereof, in each case after the date hereof, or compliance
by such Purchaser therewith, has the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such
Purchaser or any Person controlling such Purchaser as a consequence of such Purchaser’s obligations
hereunder (taking into consideration such Purchaser’s policies with respect to capital adequacy and
desired return on capital), then from time to time within 30 days following written demand of such
Purchaser setting forth in reasonable detail the charge and the calculation of such reduced rate of
return (with a copy of such demand to the Agent given in accordance with Section 2.17), the Seller
shall pay to such Purchaser such additional amounts as will compensate such Purchaser for such
reduction.
39
Section 2.14 Taxes.
(a) Except as provided in this Section 2.14, any and all payments by the Seller to or for the
account of the Agent or any Purchaser under any Transaction Document shall be made free and clear
of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts,
deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges, and all liabilities (including
additions to tax, penalties and interest) with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of the Agent
and each Purchaser, taxes imposed on or measured by its net income or overall gross income
(including branch profits), and franchise (and similar) taxes imposed on it in lieu of net income
taxes, by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) under the Laws of which the Agent
or such Purchaser, as the case may be, is organized, is (or was, during the relevant period) doing
business or maintains a lending office, and all liabilities (including additions to tax, penalties
and interest) with respect thereto (all such non-excluded taxes, duties, levies, imposts,
deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges, and liabilities being hereinafter
referred to as “Taxes”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any
withholding tax imposed at any time on payments made by or on behalf of the Seller to any Purchaser
hereunder or under any other Transaction Document shall be deemed to be Taxes hereunder so long as
such Purchaser shall have complied with Section 11.7.
(b) If the Seller shall be required by any Laws to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any
sum payable under any Transaction Document to the Agent or any Purchaser, (i) except to the extent
provided in Sections 2.14(e) and 2.14(f) below, the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so
that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums
payable under this Section 2.14), each of the Agent and such Purchaser receives an amount equal to
the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Seller shall make such
deductions, (iii) the Seller shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority
or other authority in accordance with applicable Laws, and (iv) within 30 days after the date of
such payment, the Seller shall furnish to the Agent or such Purchaser (as the case may be) the
original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof to the extent such a receipt
is issued therefor, or other written proof of payment thereof that is reasonably satisfactory to
the Agent.
(c) The Seller also agrees to pay any and all present or future stamp, court or documentary
taxes and any other excise, property, intangible or mortgage recording taxes or charges or similar
levies which arise from any payment made under any Transaction Document or from the execution,
delivery, performance, enforcement or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any
Transaction Document (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).
(d) The Seller agrees to indemnify the Agent and each Purchaser for (i) the full amount of
Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction
on amounts payable under this Section 2.14) paid by the Agent and such Purchaser, and (ii) any
liability (including additions to tax, penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with
respect thereto, in each case whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally
imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority; provided the Agent or such
Purchaser, as the case may be, provides the Seller with a written statement thereof setting forth
in reasonable detail the basis and calculation of such amounts. Payment under this Section 2.14(d)
shall be made within 30 days after the date such Purchaser or the Agent makes a demand therefor.
(e) The Seller shall not be required pursuant to this Section 2.14 to pay any additional
amount to, or to indemnify, any Purchaser or the Agent, as the case may be, to the extent that such
Purchaser or the Agent becomes subject to Taxes subsequent to the Closing Date (or, if later, the
date such Purchaser or the Agent becomes a party to this Agreement) as a result of a change in the
place of organization of such Purchaser or the Agent, except to the extent that any such change is
requested or
40
required in writing by the Seller (and provided that nothing in this clause (e) shall be
construed as relieving the Seller from any obligation to make such payments or indemnification in
the event of a change in place of organization that precedes a change in Law to the extent such
Taxes result from a change in Law).
(f) If a Purchaser or the Agent is subject to United States withholding tax at a rate in
excess of zero percent at the time such Purchaser or the Agent, as the case may be, first becomes a
party to this Agreement, withholding tax at such rate shall be considered excluded from Taxes
unless and until such Purchaser or the Agent, as the case may be, provides the appropriate forms
certifying that a lesser rate applies, whereupon withholding tax at such lesser rate only shall be
considered excluded from Taxes for periods governed by such forms; provided that, if at the
date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which a Purchaser becomes a party to this
Agreement, the Purchaser assignor was entitled to payments under clause (a) of this Section 2.14 in
respect of United States withholding tax with respect to Yield paid at such date, then, to such
extent, the term Taxes shall include (in addition to withholding taxes that may be imposed in the
future or other amounts otherwise includable in Taxes) United States withholding tax, if any,
applicable with respect to the Purchaser assignee on such date.
(g) If any Purchaser or the Agent shall become aware that it is entitled to receive a refund
in respect of amounts paid by the Seller pursuant to this Section 2.14, which refund in the good
faith judgment of such Purchaser or the Agent is allocable to such payment, it shall promptly
notify the Seller of the availability of such refund and shall, within 30 days after the receipt of
a request from the Seller, apply for such refund; provided that in the sole reasonable
judgment of the Purchaser or the Agent, applying for such refund would not be disadvantageous to
it.
(h) If any Purchaser or the Agent receives a refund in respect of any Taxes or Other Taxes as
to which indemnification or additional amounts have been paid to it by the Seller pursuant to this
Section 2.14, it shall promptly remit such refund (including any interest included in such refund)
to the Seller (to the extent that it determines that it can do so without prejudice to the
retention of the refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Purchaser or the Agent, as the
case may be; provided that the Seller, upon the request of the Purchaser or the Agent, as
the case may be, agrees promptly to return such refund to such party in the event such party is
required to repay such refund to the relevant taxing authority. Such Purchaser or the Agent, as the
case may be, shall, at the Seller’s request, provide the Seller with a copy of any notice of
assessment or other evidence of the requirement to repay such refund received from the relevant
taxing authority; provided that such Purchaser or the Agent may delete any information
therein that such Purchaser or the Agent deems confidential.
(i) Nothing in this Section 2.14 shall interfere with the right of a Purchaser or the Agent to
arrange its tax affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit nor oblige any Purchaser or the Agent to
claim any tax refund or to disclose any information relating to its tax affairs or any computations
in respect thereof or require any Purchaser or the Agent to do anything that would prejudice its
ability to benefit from any other refunds, credits, reliefs, remissions or repayments to which it
may be entitled.
Section 2.15 Sharing of Payments, Etc.
If any Purchaser shall obtain any payment (whether voluntarily, involuntarily, through the
exercise of any right of set-off or otherwise) on account of the Purchases made by it (other than
with respect to payments due to such Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.12, 2.13 or 2.14) in excess of
its Ratable Portion of payments on account of the Purchases obtained by all the Purchasers, such
Purchaser shall forthwith purchase from the other Purchasers such interests in the Receivable
Interests purchased by them as shall be necessary to cause such Purchaser to share the excess
payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess
payment is thereafter recovered from such
41
Purchaser, such purchase from each other Purchaser shall be rescinded and such other Purchaser
shall repay to the Purchaser the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an
amount equal to such other Purchaser’s Ratable Portion (according to the proportion of (a) the
amount of such other Purchaser’s required repayment to (b) the total amount so recovered from the
Purchaser) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the Purchaser in respect of the total
amount so recovered. The Seller agrees that any Purchaser so purchasing an interest in Receivable
Interests from another Purchaser pursuant to this Section 2.15 may, to the fullest extent permitted
by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such
interest in Receivable Interests as fully as if such Purchaser were the direct creditor of the
Seller in the amount of such interest in Receivable Interests.
Section 2.16 Conversion/Continuation Option.
(a) The Seller may elect (i) at any time on any Business Day, to convert Capital Investments
bearing Yield at the Applicable Base Rate or any portion thereof to Capital Investments bearing
Yield at the Applicable LIBO Rate and (ii) at the end of any applicable Yield Period, to convert
Capital Investments bearing Yield at the Applicable LIBO Rate or any portion thereof into Capital
Investments bearing Yield at the Applicable Base Rate or to continue such Capital Investments
bearing Yield at the Applicable LIBO Rate or any portion thereof for an additional Yield Period;
provided, however, that the aggregate amount of the Capital Investments bearing Yield at the
Applicable LIBO Rate for each Yield Period must be in an amount of at least $5,000,000 or an
integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Each Conversion or Continuation shall be
allocated among the Capital Investments of each Purchaser in accordance with such Purchaser’s
Receivable Interest. Each such election shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit G (a
“Notice of Conversion or Continuation”) and shall be made by giving the Agent at least
three Business Days’ prior written notice specifying (A) the amount and type of Capital Investment
being converted or continued, (B) in the case of a conversion to Capital Investments bearing Yield
at the Applicable LIBO Rate or a Continuation, the applicable Yield Period and (C) in the case of a
Conversion, the date of such Conversion.
(b) The Agent shall promptly notify each Purchaser of its receipt of a Notice of Conversion or
Continuation and of the options selected therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no conversion in
whole or in part of Capital Investments bearing Yield at the Applicable Base Rate to Capital
Investments bearing Yield at the Applicable LIBO Rate and no Continuation upon the expiration of
any applicable Yield Period shall be permitted at any time at which (i) an Event of Termination
shall have occurred and be continuing or (ii) the continuation of, or conversion into, a Capital
Investment bearing Yield at the Applicable LIBO Rate would violate any provision of Section 2.12.
If, within the time period required under the terms of this Section 2.16, the Agent does not
receive a Notice of Conversion or Continuation from the Seller containing a permitted election to
continue any Capital Investments bearing Yield at the Applicable LIBO Rate for an additional Yield
Period or to convert any such Capital Investments, then, upon the expiration of the applicable
Yield Period, such Capital Investments shall, subject to Section 3.2, be automatically continued as
Capital Investments bearing Yield at the Applicable LIBO Rate with a Yield Period of one month.
Each Notice of Conversion or Continuation shall be irrevocable.
Section 2.17 Matters Applicable to All Requests for Compensation
(a) The Agent or any Purchaser claiming compensation under Section 2.12, 2.13 or 2.14 shall
deliver a certificate to the Seller contemporaneously with the demand for payment setting forth in
reasonable detail a calculation of the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder
which shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, the Agent
or such Purchaser may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.
42
(b) With respect to any Purchaser’s claim for compensation under any of Sections 2.12 through
Section 2.14, the Seller shall not be required to compensate such Purchaser for any amount incurred
more than 180 days prior to the date that such Purchaser notifies the Seller of the event that
gives rise to such claim; provided that, if the circumstance giving rise to such increased
cost or reduction is retroactive, then such 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to
include the period of retroactive effect thereof. If any Purchaser requests compensation from the
Seller under any of Sections 2.12(a), 2.12(e) or 2.13, the Seller may, by notice to such Purchaser
(with a copy to the Agent), suspend the obligation of such Purchaser to make or continue from one
Yield Period to another LIBO Rate Capital Investments, or to convert Base Rate Capital Investments
into LIBO Rate Capital Investments, until the event or condition giving rise to such request ceases
to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 2.17(c) shall be applicable);
provided that such suspension shall not affect the right of such Purchaser to receive the
compensation so requested.
(c) If the obligation of any Purchaser to make or continue from one Yield Period to another
any LIBO Rate Capital Investment (or to convert Base Rate Capital Investments into LIBO Rate
Capital Investments) shall be suspended pursuant to Section 2.17(b) hereof, such Purchaser’s LIBO
Rate Capital Investments shall be automatically converted into Base Rate Capital Investments on the
last day(s) of the then current Yield Period(s) for such LIBO Rate Capital Investments (or, in the
case of an immediate conversion required by 2.12(c), on such earlier date as required by Law) and,
unless and until such Purchaser gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in
Sections 2.12 (other than clause (d) thereof) through Section 2.14 hereof that gave rise to such
conversion no longer exist:
(i) to the extent that such Purchaser’s LIBO Rate Capital Investments have been
so converted, all payments and prepayments of Capital that would otherwise be
applied to such Purchaser’s LIBO Rate Capital Investment shall be applied instead to
its Base Rate Capital Investments; and
(ii) all Capital Investments that would otherwise be made or continued from one
Yield Period to another by such Purchaser as LIBO Rate Capital Investments shall be
made or continued instead as Base Rate Capital Investments, and all Base Rate
Capital Investments of such Purchaser that would otherwise be converted into LIBO
Rate Capital Investments shall remain as Base Rate Capital Investments.
(d) If any Purchaser gives notice to the Seller (with a copy to the Agent) that the
circumstances specified in any of Sections 2.12 (other than clause (d) thereof) through Section
2.14 that gave rise to the conversion of such Purchaser’s LIBO Rate Capital Investments pursuant to
this Section 2.17 no longer exist (which such Purchaser agrees to do promptly upon such
circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when LIBO Rate Capital Investments made by other
Purchasers are outstanding, such Purchaser’s Base Rate Capital Investments shall be automatically
converted, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Yield Period(s) for such outstanding LIBO
Rate Capital Investments, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Capital
Investments held by the Purchasers holding LIBO Rate Capital Investments and by such Purchaser are
held pro rata (as to Capital, Yield basis, and Yield Periods) in accordance with their respective
Commitments.
(e) Each Purchaser agrees that (i) upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the
operation of 2.14(b) or (d) with respect to such Purchaser it will, if requested by the Seller, use
commercially reasonable efforts (subject to such Purchaser’s internal policies and any legal or
regulatory restrictions) to avoid the consequences of such event.
43
Section 2.18 Replacement of Purchasers Under Certain Circumstances. (a) If at any time:
(i) the Seller becomes obligated to pay additional amounts or indemnity payments
described in Section 2.12(a) or (e), Section 2.13 or Section 2.14, as a result of any
condition described in such Sections or any Purchaser ceases to make LIBO Rate Capital
Investments as a result of any condition described in Section 2.12(a), (c) or (e), Section
2.13 or Section 2.14, or
(ii) any Purchaser becomes a Defaulting Purchaser,
then the Seller may, on ten Business Days’ prior written notice to the Agent and such
Purchaser, either:
(1) replace such Purchaser by causing such Purchaser to (and such Purchaser shall be
obligated to) assign 100% of its Commitments and Capital Investments plus any accrued and
unpaid Yield and fees with respect thereto pursuant to Section 9.1(a) (with the assignment
fee to be paid by the Seller unless waived by the Agent in such instance) all of its
relevant rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more Persons;
provided that neither the Agent nor any Purchaser shall have any obligation to the
Seller to find a replacement Purchaser or other such Person or
(2) terminate the Commitment of such Purchaser and repay all obligations of the Seller
owing to such Purchaser relating to the Capital Investments held by such Purchaser as of
such termination date.
(b) Any Purchaser being replaced pursuant to Section 2.18(a) above shall execute and deliver
an Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such Purchaser’s Commitment and outstanding Capital
Investments.
(c) Pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance arising by operation of Section 2.18(b), (i) the
assignee Purchaser shall acquire all or a portion, as the case may be, of the assigning Purchaser’s
Commitment and outstanding Capital Investments, (ii) all obligations of the Seller owing to the
assigning Purchaser relating to the Capital Investments so assigned shall be paid in full by the
assignee Purchaser to such assigning Purchaser concurrently with the execution of such Assignment
and Acceptance and (iii) upon such payment, the assignee Purchaser shall become a Purchaser
hereunder and the assigning Purchaser shall cease to be a Purchaser hereunder with respect to such
assigned Capital Investments and Commitments, except with respect to indemnification provisions
under this Agreement, which shall survive as to such assigning Purchaser.
(d) The Seller shall also be entitled to replace a Dissenting Purchaser in accordance with
Section 11.1(b).
Section 2.19 Restricted Accounts; Investment of Amounts in the Cash Assets Account.
(a) The Lock Boxes and Lock-Box Accounts.
(i) The Seller, the Servicer and/or the Receivables Administrators have
established on or prior to the Closing Date with each Lock-Box Bank one or more
Lock-Box Accounts. The Seller, the Servicer and the Receivables Administrators
agree that the Agent shall have control of each Lock-Box Account and all monies,
instruments and other property from time to time on deposit therein pursuant to a
Shifting Control Deposit Account Agreement.
44
(ii) On or prior to the Closing Date, the Seller, the Servicer and/or the
Receivables Administrators shall have instructed all existing Obligors of Pool
Receivables, and after the Closing Date shall instruct all future Obligors of such
Pool Receivables, to make payments in respect thereof only (A) by check or money
order mailed to one or more lock boxes (which may be at an address of the Seller,
the Servicer and/or any Receivables Administrator) or post office boxes in the name
of the Seller, the Servicer or any Receivables Administrator (each, a “Lock
Box” and collectively the “Lock Boxes”) or (B) by wire transfer or
moneygram directly to a Lock-Box Account. Schedule I lists all Lock Boxes
and all Lock-Box Banks at which the Seller, the Servicer or any Receivables
Administrator maintains a Lock Box Account (subject to any updates to such Schedule
made after the Closing Date by the Seller or the Servicer that are delivered to the
Agent and the Purchasers (each, a “Permitted Account Update”), and such
schedule correctly identifies (1) with respect to each such Lock Box Bank, the name,
address and telephone number thereof, (2) with respect to each Lock-Box Account, the
name in which such account is held and the complete account number therefor and (3)
with respect to each Lock Box, the lock box number and address thereof. The Seller,
the Servicer or a Receivables Administrator shall (i) endorse, to the extent
necessary, all checks or other instruments received in any Lock Box with respect to
Collections of Pool Receivables and deposit, in the form so received (with all
necessary endorsements), such checks or other instruments into the Concentration

Account as of the last Business Day of the immediately preceding week (or more
frequently if desired by the Servicer or requested by the Seller), all funds
contained in such Lock-Box Accounts with respect to Collections of Pool Receivables,
and until so deposited all such items or other proceeds shall be held in trust for
the benefit of the Agent. In addition, the Seller, the Servicer and/or the
Receivables Administrators shall deposit or cause to be deposited into the
Concentration Account (and may be deposited in any Lock-Box Account pending transfer
to the Concentration Account) all cash, checks, money orders or other proceeds of
Pool Receivables received by it other than in a Lock Box or a Lock-Box Account, in
the form so received (with all necessary endorsements), not later than the close of
business on the second Business Day of the week following the week of receipt

and until so deposited all such items or other proceeds shall be held in trust for
the benefit of the Agent.
(iii) If, for any reason, a Control Agreement with respect to a Lock-Box
Account terminates or any Lock-Box Bank fails to comply with its obligations under a
Control Agreement to which it is a party, then the Seller, the Servicer and/or the
Receivables Administrators shall promptly notify all Obligors of Pool Receivables
who had previously been instructed to make wire payments to a Lock-Box Account
maintained at such Lock-Box Bank to make all future payments directly to a new
Lock-Box Account in accordance with this Section 2.19(a)(iii). Neither the Seller,
the Servicer nor any Receivables Administrator shall close any such Lock-Box Account
unless it shall have (A) received the prior written consent of the Agent (not to be
unreasonably
45
withheld), (B) established a new account with a new depositary institution
satisfactory to the Agent in its reasonable discretion, (C) entered into a Shifting
Control Deposit Account Agreement covering such new account with such new depositary
institution in a form that is satisfactory in all respects to the Agent in its
reasonable discretion (whereupon, for all purposes of this Agreement, such new
account shall become a Lock-Box Account and any new depositary institution shall
become a Lock-Box Bank) and (D) taken all such action as the Agent shall require to
grant and perfect a first priority Lien (subject only to Permitted Liens) in such
new Lock-Box Account in favor of the Agent. Except as permitted by this Section
2.19(a), neither the Seller, the Servicer nor any Receivables Administrator shall
open any new Lock Box or Lock-Box Account without the prior written notice to the
Agent (and compliance with all applicable account control requirements of the
Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, Section 5.6(e) hereof).
(iv) The Agent hereby agrees that until such time as it instructs a Lock-Box
Bank otherwise, the Seller, the Servicer or the relevant Receivables Administrator
shall have the right to give instructions for the withdrawal, transfer or payment of
funds on deposit in the Lock-Box Accounts; provided, that no instructions
shall be given with respect to Collections of Pool Receivables other than directing
the deposit of such funds into the Concentration Account.
(b) Concentration Account.
(i) On or prior to the Closing Date, the Seller shall have established and
shall maintain the Concentration Account with JPMCB. The Concentration Account
shall be registered in the name of the Seller, and the Agent shall have exclusive
dominion and control thereof and of all monies, instruments and other property from
time to time on deposit therein pursuant to a Full Control Deposit Account
Agreement. The Agent may deposit into the Concentration Account from time to time
all monies, instruments and other property it receives as proceeds of the Pool
Receivables.
(ii) The Seller shall not close the Concentration Account unless (A) a new
Deposit Account has been established with a new depositary institution, (B) the
Agent and the Seller have entered into a Full Control Deposit Account Agreement
covering such new account with such new depositary institution and (C) the Seller
shall have taken all such action as is required to grant and perfect a first
priority Lien (subject only to Permitted Liens) in such new Concentration Account to
the Agent.
(c) Cash Assets Account.
(i) On or prior to the Closing Date, the Seller shall have established and
shall maintain the Cash Assets Account with JPMCB. The Cash Assets Account shall be
registered in the name of the Seller, and the Agent shall have exclusive dominion
and control thereof and of all monies, instruments and other property from time to
time on deposit therein pursuant to a Full Control Deposit Account Agreement.
(ii) Funds held in the Cash Assets Account may, until withdrawn or otherwise
applied pursuant hereto, be invested and reinvested in such Liquid Investments as
the Seller may request from time to time; provided that, if an Event of
Termination shall have occurred and be continuing, the Agent may select such Liquid
Investments. “Liquid Investments” means (i) direct obligations of the
United States or any agency
46
thereof, (ii) obligations guaranteed by the United States or any agency thereof,
(iii) time deposits and money market deposit accounts issued by or guaranteed by or
placed with a financial institution reasonably acceptable to the Agent, and (iv)
fully collateralized repurchase agreements for securities described in clause (i) or
(ii) above entered into with a financial institution reasonably acceptable to the
Agent, provided in each case that such Liquid Investment (x) matures within
30 days and (y) is in a form, and is issued and held in a manner, that in the
reasonable judgment of the Agent permits appropriate measures to have been taken to
perfect security interests therein.
(iii) The Seller shall not close the Cash Assets Account unless (A) a new
Deposit Account has been established with a new depositary institution, (B) the
Agent and the Seller have entered into a new Full Control Deposit Account Agreement
covering such new account with such new depositary institution and (C) the Seller
shall have taken all such action as is required to grant and perfect a first
priority Lien (subject only to Permitted Liens) in such new Concentration Account in
favor of the Agent.
(d) Seller’s Account.
(i) On or prior to the Closing Date, the Seller shall have established and
shall maintain the Seller’s Account with Bank of America, N.A., or such other
financial institution as may be selected by the Seller and is reasonably acceptable
to the Agent (the “Seller’s Account Bank”). The Seller’s Account shall be
registered in the name of the Seller, and the Agent shall have control thereof and
of all monies, instruments and other property from time to time on deposit therein
pursuant to a Shifting Control Deposit Account Agreement.
(ii) The Agent hereby agrees that until such time as it instructs the Seller’s
Account Bank otherwise (solely as a result of an Event of Termination), the Seller
shall have the right to give instructions for the withdrawal, transfer or payment of
funds on deposit in the Seller’s Account.
Section 2.20 Optional Increase in Commitments.
(a) Upon notice to the Agent (which shall promptly notify the Purchasers), at any time after
the Closing Date, the Seller may on up to three different occasions request additional Commitments;
provided that (i) after giving effect to any such addition, the aggregate amount of all additional
Commitments that have been added pursuant to this Section 2.20 shall not exceed $55,000,000 and
(ii) any such addition shall be in an aggregate amount of $10,000,000 or any whole multiples of
$1,000,000 in excess thereof.
(b) Any such additional Commitments (the “Additional Commitments”) shall be made by
increasing the Commitments with the same terms (including termination date, yield and fees) as the
existing Commitments.
(c) At the time of the sending of notice requesting Additional Commitments, the Seller (in
consultation with the Agent) shall specify the time period within which each Purchaser is requested
to respond (which shall in no event be less than ten Business Days from the date of delivery of
such notice to the Purchasers). Each Purchaser shall notify the Agent within such time period
whether or not it agrees to provide an Additional Commitment and, if so, whether and by an amount
equal to, greater than, or less than its pro rata share (based on the aggregate outstanding Capital
Investments as of such date) of such requested increase. Any Purchaser not responding within such
time period shall be deemed
47
to have declined to provide an Additional Commitment. The Agent shall notify the Seller and
each Purchaser of the Purchasers’ responses to each request made hereunder. To achieve the full
amount of a requested increase, the Seller may also invite additional financial institutions not
theretofore Purchasers (each, a “New Purchaser”) to become Purchasers (such designation to
be effective only with the prior written consent of the Agent, which consent will not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Agent and its counsel.
(d) If any Additional Commitments are added in accordance with this Section 2.20, the Agent
and the Seller shall determine the effective date (the “Additional Commitments Effective
Date”) and the final allocation of such addition. The Agent shall promptly notify the Seller
and the Purchasers of the final allocation of such addition and the Additional Commitments
Effective Date. As a condition precedent to such addition and the Additional Commitments Effective
Date, the Seller and the Servicer shall deliver to the Agent a certificate dated as of the
Additional Commitments Effective Date signed by a Responsible Officer of the Seller and a
Responsible Officer of the Servicer certifying that, before and after giving effect to such
increase, (i) the representations and warranties contained in Section Article IV of this Agreement,
Article III of the Receivables Sale Agreement, Annex B to the Guaranty or any other Transaction
Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Additional Commitments
Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to
an earlier date, in which case they shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such
earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Section 2.20(d), the representations and
warranties contained in clauses (ii) and (iii) of Section 4.2(e) of this Agreement shall be deemed
to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to subsections (a) and (b), respectively,
of Section 5.5 and (ii) no Potential Event of Termination exists before or after giving effect to
such addition.
(e) On each Additional Commitments Effective Date, (i) each New Purchaser which is providing
an Additional Commitment shall become a “Purchaser” for all purposes of this Agreement and the
other Transaction Documents, (ii) each New Purchaser shall pay to the Agent an amount equal to its
pro rata share of the aggregate outstanding Capital Investments and (iii) any Purchaser (an
“Increasing Purchaser”) whose Commitment has been increased shall pay to the Agent an
amount equal to the increase in its pro rata share of the aggregate outstanding Capital
Investments, in each case such payments shall be for the account of each other Purchaser. Upon
receipt of such amount by the Agent, (1) each other Purchaser shall be deemed to have ratably
assigned that portion of its outstanding Capital Investments that is being reduced to the New
Purchasers and the Increasing Purchasers in accordance with such Purchaser’s new Commitment or the
increased portion thereof, as applicable, and (2) the Agent shall promptly distribute to each other
Purchaser its ratable share of the amounts received by the Agent pursuant to this paragraph.

assets.
(d) This Agreement is, and the other Transaction Documents to which the Seller is or will be a

Documents required to be delivered pursuant to clauses (a), (b) and (f) of this Section 5.5
(to the extent any such documents are included in materials otherwise filed with the SEC) may be
delivered electronically and, if so delivered, shall be deemed to have been delivered on the date
(a) on which FNIS posts such documents, or provides a link thereto on FNIS’s website on the
Internet at xxx.xxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx/xxx.xxx; or (b) on which such documents are
posted on FNIS’s behalf on IntraLinks or other relevant website, to which each Purchaser and the
Agent are granted access (whether a commercial, third-party website or whether sponsored by the
Agent); provided that FNIS shall notify (which may be by facsimile or electronic mail or by an
automated electronic alert of a posting) the Agent of the posting of any such documents which
notice may be included in the certificate delivered pursuant to Section 5.5(e). Except for such
certificate, the Agent shall have no obligation to maintain copies of the documents referred to
above, and in any event shall have no responsibility to monitor compliance by FNIS with any such
request for delivery, and each Purchaser shall be solely responsible for requesting delivery to it
or maintaining its copies of such documents. The Servicer hereby acknowledges that the Agent and/or
the Arranger will make available to the Purchasers materials and/or information provided by or on
behalf of the Servicer hereunder by posting the FNIS Materials on IntraLinks or another similar

Section 5.6 Negative Covenants of the Servicer.
Until the later of (i) the Termination Date and (ii) the date upon which no Capital shall be
outstanding and no Yield or other Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations)
of the Seller remain unpaid under this Agreement, the Servicer shall not:
(a) Change in Business Lines or Credit and Collection Policy. Engage to any material extent
in any business other than any of the businesses in which it is engaged on the Closing Date, and
any business reasonably related, incidental, complementary or ancillary thereto or extensions,
expansions or developments thereof, or make any change in the Credit and Collection Policy, in
either case, that would be reasonably likely to materially impair the collectability of the Pool
Receivables.
(b) Organizational Documents; Change of Name, Etc.
(i) Amend, supplement or otherwise modify the Organization Documents of the
Seller without the consent of the Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed).
(ii) Change, or cause any other Transaction Party to change, its name, form of
organization or jurisdiction of organization, unless, prior to the effective date of
any such change, if such change adversely affects the rights of the Agent under then
existing Control Agreements with such Transaction Party to take control of the
Restricted Accounts pursuant to Section 6.3(a), the Servicer delivers to the Agent
new Control Agreements executed by such Transaction Party and the relevant banks, to
the extent
69
necessary to reflect such changes and to continue to enable the Agent to
exercise such rights.
(c) Accounting. Cause or permit the Seller to account for (including for accounting and tax
purposes) or otherwise treat the transactions contemplated by the Receivables Sale Agreement in any
manner other than as sales of Receivables by any Originator to the Seller, or to account for (other
than for tax purposes) or otherwise treat the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in any
manner other than as sales of Receivable Interests by the Seller to the Agent for the account of
the Purchasers.
(d) Extension or Amendment of Receivables. Except as otherwise permitted in Section 6.2,
extend, amend or otherwise modify the terms or Outstanding Balance of any Pool Receivable, or
extend, amend, modify or waive any term or condition of any Contract related thereto.

or any Deposit Account as a Lock-Box Account from those listed in Schedule I, or make any
change in the instructions to Obligors regarding payments to be made to any Lock Box or Lock-Box
Account, unless the Agent shall have received at least 10 Business Days’ prior written notice of
such addition, termination or change and shall have received, with respect to each new Lock-Box
Account, a Shifting Control Deposit Account Agreement executed by the Lock-Box Bank that maintains
such Lock-Box Account and the Seller, the Servicer or the relevant Receivables Administrator, as
applicable.
(f) Deposits to Lock-Box Accounts. Deposit or otherwise credit, or cause or grant permission
to be so deposited or credited, to any Restricted Account (other than a Lock-Box Account) cash or
cash proceeds in an amount exceeding $100,000 in the aggregate other than Collections of Pool
Receivables (provided, however, that the Servicer shall be deemed not to have violated this
covenant if, within five Business Days after any Specified Responsible Officer of Servicer learns
that cash or cash proceeds in an aggregate amount exceeding $100,000 have been incorrectly
deposited or credited to any Restricted Account, the Servicer removes such cash or cash proceeds
from such Restricted Account (or, with respect to Restricted Accounts then under the exclusive
control of Agent, notifies the Agent that such removal is required).
(g) Voluntary Petitions. Cause the Seller to file a voluntary petition under the Bankruptcy
Code or any other bankruptcy or insolvency laws so long as the Seller is not “insolvent”
within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Code, and unless, and only unless, such filing has been
authorized in accordance with the Seller’s Organization Documents.
(h) Maintenance of Seller’s Separate Existence. Take any action, or omit to take any action,
if the effect is to cause the Seller to fail to perform or observe in any material respect the
covenants contained in Section 5.1(d) and Section 5.1(j) above or to otherwise cause the Seller not
to be considered as legal entity separate and distinct from any Originator or any other Affiliates.

Section 6.1 Designation of the Servicer.
(a) The Pool Receivables shall be serviced, administered and collected by the Person (the
“Servicer”) designated to do so from time to time in accordance with this Section 6.1.

designated as, and hereby agrees to perform the duties and obligations of, the Servicer pursuant to
the terms hereof.
70

Pool Receivables that any Originator creates, and may, with the prior consent of the Agent (such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), subcontract with any other Person to service,
administer or collect the Pool Receivables (it being understood and agreed that by its execution of
this Agreement, the Agent hereby consents to the subcontract between the Servicer and each
Receivables Administrator with respect to the service, administration and collection of the Pool
Receivables); provided that such other Originator or other Person (including the
Receivables Administrators) with whom the Servicer so subcontracts shall not become the Servicer
hereunder and the Servicer shall remain liable for the performance of the duties and obligations of
the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof.
(c) The Agent may at any time following the occurrence of an Event of Termination designate as

and the Agent hereby appoints as its agent the Servicer, from time to time designated pursuant to
Section 6.1, to enforce its respective rights and interests in and under the Pool Receivables, the
Related Security and the related Contracts.
(b) Unless an Event of Termination shall have occurred and be continuing, the Servicer may, in

forms of payment) received with respect to Receivables not constituting Pool Receivables.

the request of the Agent, provide to the Agent the Records with respect to the Pool Receivables,
provided that, in the case of Records consisting of computer programs, data processing
software and any other intellectual property under license from third parties, the Servicer will
make available such Records only to the extent that the license for such property so permits.
Section 6.3 Rights of the Agent.

make payment of all amounts due or to become due to the Seller under any Pool
Receivable directly to the Agent or its designee.

assemble, and make available to the Agent at a place reasonably selected by the

necessary to collect the Pool Receivables, provided that, in the case of
Records consisting of computer programs, data processing software and any other
intellectual property under license from third parties, the Servicer will make
available such Records only to the extent that the license for such property so
permits, and provided, further, that during the continuance of an
Event of Termination, the Seller and the Servicer each shall, at the Agent’s
request, commence the process of assembling such Records, and (B) segregate all
cash, checks and other instruments received by it from time to time constituting
Collections or other proceeds of Pool Receivables in a manner reasonably acceptable
to the Agent and shall, promptly upon receipt, remit all such cash, checks and
instruments, duly endorsed or with duly executed instruments of transfer, to the
Agent or its designee.
(v) The Agent may take any and all commercially reasonable steps in the
Seller’s or the Servicer’s name and on behalf of the Seller and the Purchasers

Servicer might have done.
(c) At any time during the continuance of a Triggering Event, the Agent may, upon the
instructions of the Required Purchasers and at the Seller’s expense, request any of the Obligors of
Pool Receivables to confirm the Outstanding Balance of such Obligor’s Pool Receivables.
Section 6.4 Certain Responsibilities.
Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding:
(a) The Seller, the Servicer and each Originator shall perform all of its obligations (if any)
under the Contracts related to the Pool Receivables to the same extent as if Receivable Interests
had not been sold hereunder and the exercise by the Agent of its rights hereunder shall not release
the Seller or the Servicer from such obligations or its obligations with respect to Pool
Receivables or under the related Contracts; and
72
(b) Neither the Agent nor the Purchasers shall have any obligation or liability with respect
to any Pool Receivables or related Contracts, nor shall any of them be obligated to perform any of
the obligations of the Seller or any Originator thereunder.
Section 6.5 Further Assurances.
(a) Subject to the last sentence of Section 5.5(j), the Seller and the Servicer each agrees
that from time to time, at the Seller’s expense, it will promptly execute and deliver all further
instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be necessary, or that the Agent
may reasonably request, in order to perfect, protect or more fully evidence or maintain the
validity and effectiveness of the Receivable Interests purchased by the Purchasers hereunder, to
carry out more effectively the purposes of the Transaction Documents and to enable any of them or
the Agent to exercise and enforce any of their respective rights and remedies under the Transaction
Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Seller and the Servicer each will
upon the request of the Agent, in order to perfect, protect or evidence such Receivable Interests:
(i) file or cause to be filed such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto or
assignments thereof, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary, or as the Agent
may reasonably request; (ii) during the continuance of any Event of Termination, xxxx conspicuously
each invoice evidencing each Pool Receivable with a legend stating that such Pool Receivable and
related Contract has been sold, transferred and assigned to the Purchasers; and (iii) during the
continuance of any Event of Termination, xxxx its master data processing records evidencing such
Pool Receivables and related Contracts with such legend. The Servicer also agrees to provide to
the Agent, from time to time upon request, evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Agent as to the
perfection and priority of the Liens created or intended to be created by the Transaction
Documents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any Transaction Document,
in no event will any Transaction Party be required (nor shall the Agent or any Purchaser be
entitled) to notify any Obligor of the sale of its Receivables or any Related Security to the
Seller (or the subsequent sale thereof by the Seller to the Purchasers) unless an Event of
Termination then exists, it being understood and agreed that this sentence shall not in any way
limit the ability of the Agent to file financing statements and other similar documents that are
contemplated by Section 6.5(b).
(b) The Seller hereby authorizes the Agent to file one or more financing or continuation
statements, and amendments thereto and assignments thereof, relating to all or any of the
Contracts, or Pool Receivables and the Related Security and Collections with respect thereto, now
existing or hereafter arising, without the signature of the Seller where permitted by law. A
photocopy or other reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement covering all or any of
the Contracts, or Pool Receivables and the Related Security and Collections with respect thereto
shall be sufficient as a financing statement where permitted by law.
(c) If the Servicer or the Seller fails to perform any agreement contained herein, then after
notice to the Servicer or the Seller, as applicable, the Agent may itself perform, or cause
performance of, such agreement, and the reasonable costs and expenses of the Agent incurred in
connection therewith shall be payable by the Seller under Section 10.1 or Section 11.5, as
applicable.

fails to pay when due, after the expiration of any applicable grace period, any installment payment
with respect to its withdrawal liability under Section 4201 of ERISA under a Multiemployer Plan in
an aggregate amount which could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect; or
(j) Change of Control. There occurs any Change of Control; or
(k) Invalidity of Transaction Documents. Any Transaction Document, at any time after its
execution and delivery and for any reason other than as expressly permitted hereunder or thereunder
or as a result of acts or omissions by the Agent or any Purchaser (including, if applicable, the
failure of the Agent to file UCC financing statements or continuations thereof), ceases to be in
full force and effect in any material respect; or any Transaction Party contests in writing the
validity or enforceability of any provision of any Transaction Document (it being understood and
agreed that any informational notice delivered to the Agent or any Purchaser shall not be deemed to
be a contest covered by this clause (k)); or any Transaction Party denies in writing that it has
any or further liability or obligation under any Transaction Document (other than as a result of
repayment in full of the Capital or as a result of the release of any Originator or Guarantor in
accordance with the Transaction Documents), or purports in
75
writing to revoke or rescind any Transaction Document; or it becomes unlawful for any
Transaction Party to perform its Obligations under the Transaction Documents in any material
respect; or
(l) Ownership Interests. Any Purchase shall for any reason (other than pursuant to the terms
hereof) cease to create, or any Receivable Interest shall for any reason cease to be, a valid and
perfected first priority (subject to Permitted Liens) undivided percentage ownership interest or
security interest to the extent of the pertinent Receivable Interest in each applicable Pool
Receivable and the Related Security and Collections with respect thereto, except by reason of
action taken voluntarily by the Agent, or the failure by the Agent to take action required to be
taken by it under the Transaction Documents; provided, however, that any such event
that relates to a specific Pool Receivable shall not constitute an Event of Termination under this
Section 7.1(l) if either (x) after giving effect to the occurrence of such event, no Shortfall
Condition exists or (y) the occurrence of such event gives rise to an obligation of the Seller to
make a payment under Section 2.9(c) in respect of the affected Pool Receivable and the Seller has
made such payment in accordance with Section 2.9(c) and, after giving effect to such payment and,
if applicable, any calculated reduction in Capital by an amount held in the Cash Assets Account
that is available for application therefor pursuant to Section 2.6 or 2.7, as applicable, the
aggregate Receivable Interests would not exceed 100%; or
(m) Net Receivables Pool Balance. The Net Receivables Pool Balance shall be less than the
Required Net Receivables Pool Balance (giving effect to any calculated reduction in Capital by an
amount equal to the amount on deposit in the Cash Assets Account that is available for application
therefor pursuant to Section 2.6 or 2.7, as applicable, as of the close of business on the relevant
day of determination) for a period of two consecutive Business Days or more;
then, and in any such event, the Agent shall, at the request, or may with the consent, of the
Required Purchasers, by notice to the Seller and the Servicer take any of the following actions:
(i) replace the Person then acting as the Servicer, (ii) declare the Termination Date to have
occurred, whereupon the Termination Date shall forthwith occur, without demand, protest or further
notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by each Transaction Party;
provided, however, that upon the occurrence of a Termination Event described in
subsection (f) of this Section 7.1 with respect to the Seller or the Servicer, or of an actual or
deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Seller or the Servicer under the Bankruptcy
Code, the Termination Date shall automatically occur, without demand, protest or notice of any
kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Seller and the Servicer and (iii) notify the
Obligors of the Purchasers’ interest in the Receivables. The aforementioned rights and remedies
shall be without limitation, and shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies of the Agent
and the Purchasers otherwise available under any other provision of this Agreement, by operation of
law, at equity or otherwise, all of which are hereby expressly preserved, including, without
limitation, all rights and remedies provided under the UCC, all of which rights shall be
cumulative.
ARTICLE VIII
The Agent
Section 8.1 Authorization and Action.
(a) Each Purchaser hereby appoints JPMCB as the Agent hereunder and each Purchaser authorizes
the Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this
Agreement and the other Transaction Documents as are delegated to the Agent under such agreements
and to exercise such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Without limiting the foregoing,
each Purchaser hereby authorizes the Agent to execute and deliver, and to perform its
76
obligations under, each of the Transaction Documents to which the Agent is a party, to
exercise all rights, powers and remedies that the Agent may have under such Transaction Documents.
(b) As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents (including enforcement or collection), the Agent shall not be required to exercise any
discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be
fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Required
Purchasers, and such instructions shall be binding upon all Purchasers; provided, however, that the
Agent shall not be required to take any action that (i) the Agent in good faith believes exposes it
to personal liability unless the Agent receives an indemnification satisfactory to it from the
Purchasers with respect to such action or (ii) is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law.
The Agent agrees to give to each Purchaser prompt notice of each notice given to it by the Seller,
any Originator or the Servicer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the other Transaction
Documents.
(c) In performing its functions and duties hereunder and under the other Transaction
Documents, the Agent is acting solely on behalf of the Purchasers and its duties are entirely
administrative in nature. Notwitstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere herein
or in any other Transaction Document, the Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities, except
those expressly set forth herein or therein, nor shall the Agent have or be deemed to have any
fiduciary relationship with any Purchaser or participant, and no implied covenants, functions,
responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other
Transaction Document or otherwise exist against the Agent. The Agent may perform any of its duties
under any Transaction Document by or through its agents or employees.
Section 8.2 Agent’s Reliance, Etc.
Neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for
any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them as Agent under or in connection with this
Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any other instrument or document delivered pursuant
hereto (including, without limitation, the Agent’s servicing, administering or collecting Pool
Receivables as Servicer pursuant to Section 6.1), or in respect of the transactions thereunder,
except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, except as otherwise agreed by the Agent and any Purchaser, the Agent:
(i) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Seller, the Servicer or any
Originator), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be
liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the
advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (ii) makes no warranty or representation to any
Purchaser and shall not be responsible to any Purchaser for any statements, warranties or
representations (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other
Transaction Document or any other instrument or document delivered pursuant hereto; (iii) shall not
have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms,
covenants or conditions of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any other instrument
or document delivered pursuant hereto on the part of the Seller or any Originator or to inspect the
property (including the books and records) of the Seller or any Originator; (iv) shall not be
responsible to any Purchaser for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability,
genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any other
instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto, or the perfection, priority or value of any
ownership interest or security interest created or purported to be created hereunder or under the
Receivables Sale Agreement; and (v) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement
or any other Transaction Document or any other instrument or document delivered pursuant hereto by
acting upon any notice (including notice by telephone), consent, certificate or other instrument or
writing (which may be by telecopier, telegram, cable or telex) reasonably believed by it to be
genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties.
77
Section 8.3 JPMCB and Affiliates.
With respect to any Capital or any Receivable Interest owned by it, JPMCB shall have the same
rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Purchaser and may exercise the same as though
it were not the Agent. JPMCB and its Affiliates may generally engage in any kind of business with
the Seller or any Originator or any Obligor, any of their respective Affiliates and any Person who
may do business with or own securities of the Seller or any Originator or any Obligor or any of
their respective Affiliates, all as if JPMCB were not the Agent and without any duty to account
therefor to the Purchasers.
Section 8.4 Purchase Decisions.
Each Purchaser acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or
any of its Affiliates or any other Purchaser and based on such documents and information as it has
deemed appropriate, made its own evaluation and decision to enter into this Agreement and to
purchase undivided ownership interests in Pool Receivables hereunder. Each Purchaser also
acknowledges that it shall, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, any of its
Affiliates or any other Purchaser and based on such documents and information as it shall deem
appropriate at the time, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under
this Agreement.
Section 8.5 Indemnification.
The Purchasers agree to indemnify the Agent (to the extent not promptly reimbursed by the
Seller or the Servicer), ratably according to their Ratable Portion from and against any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted
against the Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Transaction
Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or any action taken or
omitted by the Agent under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any such instrument
or document; provided that no Purchaser shall be liable for any portion of such
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements resulting from the Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without
limitation of the foregoing, the Purchasers agree to reimburse the Agent, ratably according to
their Ratable Portion, promptly upon demand for any reasonable costs and expenses (including,
without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) payable by the Seller to the
Agent under Section 11.5, to the extent that the Agent is not promptly reimbursed for such costs
and expenses by the Seller.
Section 8.6 Successor Agent
The Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Purchasers and the
Seller. Upon any such resignation, the Required Purchasers shall have the right to appoint a
successor Agent, which successor agent shall be consented to by the Seller at all times other than
during the existence of an Event of Termination under Section 7.1(f) (which consent of the Seller
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed
by the Required Purchasers, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the
retiring Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the
Purchasers and after consulting with the Purchaser and the Seller, appoint a successor Agent,
selected from among the Purchasers. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent by a successor
Agent, such successor Agent shall succeed to, and become vested with, all the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its
duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. Prior to any
retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the retiring Agent shall take
78
such action as may be reasonably necessary to assign to the successor Agent its rights as
Agent under the Transaction Documents. After such resignation, the retiring Agent shall continue
to have the benefit of this Article VIII and Sections 10.1 and 11.5 as to any actions taken or
omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents.
Section 8.7 Posting of Approved Electronic Communications.
(a) Subject to certain limited exceptions in respect of which the Servicer or the Seller has
delivered prior written notice to the Agent, each of the Purchasers, the Servicer and the Seller
agree that the Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the Approved Electronic
Communications available to the Purchasers by posting such Approved Electronic Communications on
IntraLinks(tm) or a substantially similar electronic platform chosen by the Agent to be
its electronic transmission system (the “Approved Electronic Platform”).
(b) Although the primary web portal is secured with a dual firewall and a user ID/password
authorization system and the Approved Electronic Platform is secured through a single-user-per-deal
authorization method whereby each user may access the Approved Electronic Platform only on a
deal-by-deal basis, each of the Purchasers, the Servicer and the Seller acknowledges and agrees
that the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that
there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution. In consideration for
the convenience and other benefits afforded by such distribution and for the other consideration
provided hereunder, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, each of the
Purchasers, the Servicer and the Seller hereby approves, and the Servicer shall cause each
Originator to approve, distribution of the Approved Electronic Communications through the Approved
Electronic Platform and understands and assumes the risks of such distribution.
(c) The Approved Electronic Communications and the Approved Electronic Platform are provided
“as is” and “as available”. None of the Agent or any of its Affiliates or any of
their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors or representatives (the
“Agent Affiliates”) warrants the accuracy, adequacy or completeness of the Approved
Electronic Communications and the Approved Electronic Platform and each expressly disclaims
liability for errors or omissions not committed by it or in the absence of its gross negligence or
willful misconduct in the Approved Electronic Communications and the Approved Electronic Platform.
No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory (including, without limitation, any warranty
of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third party rights or
freedom from viruses or other code defects) is made by the Agent Affiliates in connection with the
Approved Electronic Platform.
(d) The Seller and the Servicer hereby acknowledge that certain of the Purchasers may be
“public-side” Purchasers (i.e., Purchasers that do not wish to receive material non-public
information with respect to FNIS or its securities) (each, a “Public Purchaser”). The Servicer
and the Seller hereby agrees that (w) all Approved Electronic Communications that are to be made
available to Public Purchasers shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a
minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (x)
by marking Approved Electronic Communications “PUBLIC,” the Servicer or the Seller (as applicable)
shall be deemed to have authorized the Agent, the Arranger and the Purchasers to treat such
Approved Electronic Communications as either publicly available information or not material
information (although it may be sensitive and proprietary) with respect to FNIS or its securities
for purposes of United States Federal and state securities laws; (y) all Approved Electronic
Communications marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform
designated “Public Investor;” and (z) the Agent and the Arranger shall treat any Approved
Electronic Communications that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a
portion of the Platform not designated “Public Investor.”

ARTICLE IX
Assignment of Receivable Interests
Section 9.1 Purchaser’s Assignment of Rights and Obligations.
(a) Each Purchaser may assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this
Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment and the Receivable
Interests owned by it); provided, however, that (i) each such assignment shall be a constant, and
not a varying, percentage of such Purchaser’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the
Receivable Interests owned by it, (ii) in the case of any assignment by any Purchaser that is not
assigning pursuant thereto all of its right and obligations under this Agreement, (A) the amount of
the Commitment (determined as of the date of the applicable Assignment and Acceptance) being
assigned pursuant to each such assignment shall be at least $5,000,000, or (B) the aggregate amount
of all Commitments (determined as of the date of the applicable Assignments and Acceptances) being
assigned by such Purchaser on such date to two or more Assignees that are Approved Funds of such
Purchaser or are Affiliates of each other shall be at least $5,000,000 (or, in the case of (A) or
(B), any smaller amount agreed upon by the Agent and the Seller), (iii) the parties to each such
assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the
Register, an Assignment and Acceptance, together with (except in the case of an assignment to
another Purchaser or an Affiliate or an Approved Fund of such Purchaser) a processing and recording
fee of $3,500 (provided that only one such fee shall be required in the case of multiple
assignments by a Purchaser on a single day to funds that invest in bank loans and financial assets
of a type similar to the Receivable Interests that are advised by the same investment adviser if
such funds are not Approved Funds) and (iv) except in the case of an assignment by a Purchaser to
an Affiliate of such Purchaser, to another Purchaser or to an Approved Fund of such Purchaser, the
consent of the Agent and, unless an Event of Termination has occurred and is continuing, the Seller
shall first have been obtained (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld); and
provided, further, that any assignment to an Approved Fund of a Purchaser that is a
collateralized debt obligation vehicle shall permit a pledge by such Assignee of the assigned
rights and obligations in favor of an indenture trustee for the securities issued by such Assignee.
Upon such execution, delivery and acceptance, from and after the effective date specified in each
Assignment and Acceptance, which effective date shall be the later of (x) the date the Agent
receives the executed Assignment and Acceptance and (y) the date of such Assignment and Acceptance,
(1) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and shall have all the rights and obligations
of a Purchaser hereunder and (2) the assigning Purchaser shall, to the extent that rights and
obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such assignment and acceptance,
relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement.
(b) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Purchaser and the
Assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows:
(i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Purchaser makes no
representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties
or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document
or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or the execution, legality, validity,
enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Transaction
Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto, or the perfection, priority
or value of any ownership interest or security interest created or purported to be created
hereunder or under the Receivables Sale Agreement; (ii) the assigning Purchaser makes no
representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of
the Seller, the Servicer or any Originator or the performance or observance by the Seller, the
Servicer or any Originator of any of their respective obligations under this Agreement or any other
Transaction Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such
Assignee confirms that it has received copies of this
80
Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, together with such other documents and
information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own analysis and decision to enter into such
Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such Assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the
Agent, any of its Affiliates, the assigning Purchaser or any other Purchaser and based on such
documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own
decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents
and the other instruments and documents furnished pursuant hereto; (v) such Assignee appoints and
authorizes the Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and
discretion under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the other instruments and
documents furnished pursuant hereto as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof and thereof,
together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto; (vi) such Assignee
appoints as its agent the Servicer from time to time designated pursuant to Section 6.1 to enforce
its respective rights and interests in and under the Pool Receivables and the Related Security and
Collections with respect thereto and the related Contracts; and (vii) such Assignee agrees that it
will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this
Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Purchaser.
(c) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by any assigning Purchaser and
an Assignee, the Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed and is in
substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii)
record the information contained therein in the Register, and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to
the Seller and the Servicer.
(d) Any Purchaser may, in connection with any assignment or proposed assignment pursuant to
Section 9.1, disclose to the assignee or proposed assignee any information relating to any
Transaction Party or any Subsidiary furnished to the Purchasers by or on behalf of such Transaction
Party or such Subsidiary, as applicable; provided that, prior to any such disclosure, each
such assignee or proposed assignee shall execute an agreement whereby such assignee or proposed
assignee shall agree (subject to customary exceptions) to preserve the confidentiality of any
confidential information relating to the Transaction Parties and any Subsidiary received from the
Agent or the Purchasers.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Purchaser (a “Granting
Purchaser”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPC”) of such Granting
Purchaser, identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Purchaser to the Agent
and the Seller, the option to provide to the Seller all or any part of any Purchase that such
Granting Purchaser would otherwise be obligated to make to the Seller pursuant to Section 2.2,
provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment to make any Purchase by any
SPC and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any
part of such Purchase, the Granting Purchaser shall be obligated to make such Purchase pursuant to
the terms hereof. The making of a Purchase by an SPC hereunder shall be deemed to utilize the
Commitments of all the Purchasers to the same extent, and as if, such Purchase were made by the
Granting Purchaser. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any payment
under this Agreement for which a Purchaser would otherwise be liable, for so long as, and to the
extent, the related Granting Purchaser makes such payment. In furtherance of the foregoing, each
party hereto hereby agrees that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment
in full of all outstanding senior indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join
any other Person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement,
insolvency or liquidation proceedings or similar proceedings under the laws of the United States of
America or any State thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Section 9.1, any SPC may assign all or a portion of its interests in any Receivable Interests
to its Granting Purchaser or to any financial institutions providing liquidity and/or credit
facilities to or for the account of such SPC to fund the Purchases made by such SPC or to support
the securities (if any) issued by such SPC to fund such Purchases; provided,
however, that except in the case of an assignment to a Granting Purchaser or a
81
financial institution that is either an affiliate of such SPC or another Purchaser, the Agent
and, unless an Event of Termination has occurred and is continuing, the Seller must consent to such
assignment in writing (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld). Each SPC shall execute an
agreement whereby such SPC shall agree (subject to customary exceptions) to preserve the
confidentiality of any confidential information relating to the Transaction Parties and its
Affiliates received from the Agent or Purchasers.
Section 9.2 The Register.
The Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Seller, shall maintain at its
office referred to in Section 11.3 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and
accepted by it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and
addresses of the Purchasers and the Commitment of, and each Receivable Interest owned by, each
Purchaser from time to time, which Register shall be available for inspection by the Seller or any
Purchaser (but, in the case of any Purchaser, only with respect to the entries in the Register
applicable to such Purchaser and the names of any other Purchasers) at any reasonable time upon
reasonable prior notice. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all
purposes, absent manifest error, and the parties hereto shall treat each Person whose name is
recorded in the Register as a Purchaser hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. No
Assignment and Acceptance shall be effective until it is entered in the Register.
Section 9.3 Participations.
With the prior written consent of the Agent, each Purchaser may sell participations to one or
more Persons in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under the Transaction
Documents (including all its rights and obligations with respect to Receivable Interests). The
terms of such participation shall not, in any event, require the participant’s consent to any
amendments, waivers or other modifications of any provision of any Transaction Documents, the
consent to any departure by any Transaction Party therefrom, or to the exercising or refraining
from exercising any powers or rights such Purchaser may have under or in respect of the Transaction
Documents (including the right to enforce the obligations of any Transaction Party), except if any
such amendment, waiver or other modification or consent would reduce the amount, or postpone any
date fixed for, any amount (whether of Capital, Yield or fees) payable to such participant under
the Transaction Documents, to which such participant would otherwise be entitled under such
participation. In the event of the sale of any participation by any Purchaser, (w) such
Purchaser’s obligations under the Transaction Documents shall remain unchanged, (x) such Purchaser
shall remain solely responsible to the other parties for the performance of such obligations, (y)
such Purchaser shall remain the holder of such Capital for all purposes of this Agreement and (z)
the Seller, the Agent and the other Purchasers shall continue to deal solely and directly with such
Purchaser in connection with such Purchaser’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Each
participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12(a), 2.13 and 2.14 as if it were a
Purchaser; provided, however, that anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Seller
shall not, at any time, be obligated to make under Section 2.12(a), 2.13 or 2.14 to the
participants in the rights and obligations of any Purchaser (together with such Purchaser) any
payment in excess of the amount the Seller would have been obligated to pay to such Purchaser in
respect of such interest had such participation not been sold. Any Purchaser may, in connection
with any participation or proposed participation pursuant to Section 9.3, disclose to the
participant or proposed participant any information relating to any Transaction Party or any
Subsidiary furnished to the Purchasers by or on behalf of such Transaction Party or such
Subsidiary, as applicable; provided that, prior to any such disclosure, each such
participant or proposed participant shall execute an agreement whereby such participant or proposed
participant shall agree (subject to customary exceptions) to preserve the confidentiality of any
confidential information relating to the Transaction Parties and any Subsidiary received from the
Agent or the Purchasers. Each Purchaser that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this
purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Seller,
82
maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the
amounts of each participant’s participation (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the
Participant Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and such Purchaser shall treat
each such Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such
participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.
ARTICLE X
Indemnification
Section 10.1 Indemnities.
Without limiting any other rights that any Indemnified Party may have hereunder or under
applicable law, and whether or not any of the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, (A)
the Seller hereby agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify each Indemnified Party from and
against, and hold each thereof harmless from, any and all claims, losses, liabilities, costs and
expenses of any kind whatsoever (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and
expenses of one counsel to all Indemnified Parties, exclusive of one local counsel to all
Indemnified Parties in each relevant jurisdiction, unless (x) the interests of the Agent and the
Purchasers are sufficiently divergent, in which case one additional counsel may be appointed or (y)
the interests of any Purchaser or group of Purchasers (other than all of the Purchasers) are
distinctly or disproportionately affected, in which case one additional counsel for such Purchaser
or group of Purchasers may be appointed) (all of the foregoing being collectively referred to as
“Indemnified Amounts”) arising out of, or resulting from, in whole or in part, one or more of the
following: (a) this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (other than the Guaranty or the
Servicer’s activities as Servicer) to which it is a party; (b) the use of proceeds of any Purchase
or reinvestment; (c) the interest of any Purchaser in any Receivable, any Contract or any Related
Security; or (d) any transaction contemplated by this Agreement or any other Transaction Document
(other than the Guaranty) to which it is a party; and (B) the Servicer hereby agrees, severally and
not jointly, to indemnify each Indemnified Party for Indemnified Amounts arising out of or
resulting from the Guaranty or the Servicer’s activities as Servicer hereunder or under the other
Transaction Documents; excluding, however, in all of the foregoing instances under clauses (A) and
(B) above, Indemnified Amounts (1) to the extent resulting from (x) the gross negligence or willful
misconduct on the part of such Indemnified Party as determined by the final non-appealable judgment
of a court of competent jurisdicition or, (y) the failure to collect amounts in respect of a Pool
Receivable, to the extent such failure results from a discharge of the Obligor with respect thereto
in a proceeding in respect of such Obligor under applicable bankruptcy laws or otherwise results
from the Obligor’s financial inability to pay such amounts or (2) that are subject to the
exclusions from reimbursement or payment therefor under Section 2.14. Neither any Indemnified
Party nor any Transaction Party shall have any liability for any special, punitive, indirect or
consequential damages relating to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or arising out
of its activities in connection herewith or therewith (whether before or after the Closing Date).
Without limiting or being limited by the foregoing and whether or not any of the transactions
contemplated hereby are consummated, the applicable Seller Party shall pay within ten Business Days
after demand to each Indemnified Party any and all amounts necessary to indemnify such Indemnified
Party from and against any and all Indemnified Amounts which relate to or result from, or which
would not have occurred but for, one or more of the following:
(i) any Receivable becoming a Pool Receivable which is stated to be, but is
not, an Eligible Receivable;
(ii) any representation or warranty or statement made or deemed made by such
Seller Party (or any of its officers) under or in connection with this Agreement or
83
any other Transaction Document or any Seller Report or other document delivered
or to be delivered in connection herewith or with any other Transaction Document
being incorrect in any material respect when made or deemed made or delivered;
(iii) the failure by such Seller Party to comply with any applicable law, rule
or regulation with respect to any Pool Receivable or the related Contract or any
Related Security with respect thereto; or the failure of any Pool Receivable or the
related Contract or any Related Security with respect thereto to conform to any such
applicable law, rule or regulation;
(iv) the failure to vest in the Purchaser of a Receivable Interest a first
priority (subject to Permitted Liens) perfected undivided percentage ownership
interest, to the extent of such Receivable Interest, in each Receivable in, or
purported to be in, the Receivables Pool and the Related Security and Collections in

ARTICLE XI
Miscellaneous
Section 11.1 Amendments, Etc.
(a) No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure
by the Seller or the Servicer therefrom, shall be effective unless in a writing signed by the Agent

(2) reduce fees payable by the Seller to or for the account of
such Purchaser hereunder or delay the dates on which such fees are

affect the rights or duties of the Agent under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 11.1, in the event that
the Seller requests that this Agreement be modified or amended in a manner that would require the
unanimous consent of all the Purchasers and such modification or amendment is agreed to by the
Required Purchasers, then with the consent of the Seller and the Required Purchasers, the Seller
and the Required Purchasers shall be permitted to amend this Agreement without the consent of the
Purchaser or Purchasers that did not agree to the modification or amendment requested by the Seller
(such Purchaser or Purchasers, collectively the “Dissenting Purchasers”) to provide for (i)
the termination of the Commitment of each of the Dissenting Purchasers, (ii) the addition to this
Agreement of one or more other financial institutions, or an increase in the Commitment of one or

such amendment, (iii) if any Capital Investments are outstanding at such time, the making of such
additional Capital Investments by such new financial institutions or Required Purchaser or
Purchasers, as the case may be, as may be necessary to repay in full, at par, the outstanding

and (iv) such other modifications to this Agreement as may be appropriate to effect the foregoing
clauses (i), (ii) and (iii).
(c) It is understood that the operation of Section 2.20 in accordance with its terms is not an
amendment subject to this Section 11.1.
(d) No failure on the part of any Purchaser or the Agent to exercise, and no delay in
exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of
any other right.
Section 11.2 Right of Set-off.
Each Purchaser is hereby authorized by the Seller upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Termination, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and
apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time
held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Purchaser to or for the credit or the account
of the Seller against any and all of the obligations of the Seller now or hereafter existing under
this Agreement to such Purchaser, irrespective of whether or not any formal demand shall have been
made under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. Each Purchaser agrees
promptly to notify the Seller after any such setoff and application; provided, however, that the
failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The
rights of each Purchaser under this Section 11.2 are in addition to other rights and remedies
(including, without limitation, other rights of setoff) which such Purchaser may have.
Section 11.3 Notices, Etc.
All notices and other communications hereunder shall, unless otherwise stated herein, be given
in writing or by any telecommunication device capable of creating a written record (including, with
respect to Approved Electronic Communications and other notices and communications described below,
electronic mail), (i) to each of the Seller, the Servicer, the Agent and the Initial Purchasers, at
its address set forth under its name on the signature pages hereof, (ii) to each Purchaser other
than the Initial Purchasers, at its address specified on the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to
which it became a Purchaser hereunder or (iii) to any party hereto at such other address as shall
be designated by such party in a notice to the other parties hereto given as provided herein.
All notices and other communications given to any party hereto in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been given or made on the date of receipt if
delivered by hand or overnight courier service or sent by telecopy equipment of the sender, or on
the date five Business Days after dispatch by certified or registered mail if mailed, in each case
delivered, sent or mailed (properly addressed) to such party as provided in this Section 11.3 or in

Each of the Agent,
87
the Seller and the Servicer may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other
communications to it hereunder or under any other Transaction Document that do not constitute
Approved Electronic Communications, by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by
it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or
communications.
Section 11.4 Binding Effect; Assignability.
This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each party hereto and their
respective successors and assigns, except that neither the Seller, any Originator nor the Servicer
shall have the right to assign its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein without
the prior written consent of all Purchasers. This Agreement shall create and constitute the
continuing obligation of the parties hereto in accordance with its terms, and shall remain in full
force and effect until such time, after the Termination Date, as no Capital or any other obligation
(other than contingent indemnification obligations) of the Seller, any Originator or the Servicer
under any Transaction Document shall be outstanding; provided, however, that rights and
remedies with respect to the provisions of Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.14, 10.1, 11.5, 11.6, and 11.9
shall be continuing and shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
Section 11.5 Costs and Expenses.
The Seller shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agent,
including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of a single firm of attorneys acting as
counsel to the Agent and any local counsel retained by them, in connection with the syndication of
the receivables facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of the
Transaction Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions thereof
(whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated) and (ii) all
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agent or any Purchaser, including the fees,
charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Agent or any Purchasers, in connection with the
enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with any Transaction Document, including its
rights under this Section, or in connection with the Receivable Interests, including all such
out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout or restructuring in respect of such Receivable
Interests. It is understood that reimbursement of the Agent in respect of matters covered by
Section 5.1(f) and Section 5.4(e) of this Agreement is subject to the applicable limitations
specified herein.
Section 11.6 Confidentiality.
Each of the Agent, the Purchasers and the SPC’s (as defined in Section 9.1(e)) agrees to
maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be
disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including
accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such
disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information, will have
agreed or otherwise be obligated to keep such Information confidential, and the applicable Agent or
Purchaser shall be responsible for compliance by such persons with such obligations), (b) to the
extent required or requested by any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the applicable
Agent or Purchaser, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena
or similar legal process (provided that the Agent or the Purchaser that discloses any Information
pursuant to this clause (c) shall provide the Seller and the Servicer prompt notice of such
disclosure), (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any
remedies under any Transaction Document or any suit, action or proceeding relating to any
Transaction Document or the enforcement of rights thereunder, (f) subject to obtaining a written
agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section from the intended
recipient of such Information, to any assignee of or participant in, or any prospective
88
assignee of or participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement
(including any assignee or any prospective assignee of an SPC of the type described in the last
sentence of Section 9.1(e)), (g) with the consent of the Seller or any other Transaction Party, (h)
for purposes of Section 9.1(e) only, to any rating agency (it being understood that, prior to any
such disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake to preserve the confidentiality of any
Information relating to the Transaction Parties and their Subsidiaries received by it from such
Purchaser), (i) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a
result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to the Agent or any Purchaser on a
nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Transaction Parties or their agents or (j) to
any direct or indirect contractual counterparty in any swap, hedge or similar agreement (or to such
contractual counterparty’s professional advisor) so long as the recipient of such Information
agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section. For the purposes of this Section,
“Information” means all information received from the Transaction Parties relating to the
Transaction Parties and their Affiliates or their respective businesses, other than any such
information that is available to the Agent or any Purchaser on a nonconfidential basis prior to
disclosure by any Transaction Party.
Notwithstanding any other provision herein, each Purchaser and the Agent (and each employee,
representative or other agent of such party) may disclose to any and all Persons, without
limitation of any kind, any information with respect to the “tax treatment” and “tax structure” (in
each case, within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4) of the transactions
contemplated by the Transaction Documents and all materials of any kind (including opinions or
other tax analyses) that are provided to the Agent or such Purchaser relating to such tax treatment
and tax structure.
Section 11.7 Tax Forms.
(a)(i) Any Foreign Purchaser that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding
tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Seller is resident for tax purposes, or any
treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments hereunder or under any other
Transaction Document shall deliver to the Seller (with a copy to the Agent), at the time or times
prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Seller or the Agent, such properly
completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to
be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Purchaser, if
requested by the Seller or the Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by
applicable law or reasonably requested by the Seller or the Agent as will enable the Seller or the
Agent to determine whether or not such Purchaser is subject to backup withholding or information
reporting requirements.
(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Seller is
resident for tax purposes in the United States, any Foreign Purchaser shall deliver to the
Seller and the Agent, on or prior to the date which is ten Business Days after the Closing
Date (or upon accepting an assignment of an interest herein), two duly signed, properly
completed copies of either IRS Form W-8BEN or any successor thereto (relating to such
Foreign Purchaser and entitling it to an exemption from, or reduction of, United States
withholding tax on all payments to be made to such Foreign Purchaser by the Seller or any
other Transaction Party pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document) or IRS
Form W-8ECI or any successor thereto (relating to all payments to be made to such Foreign
Purchaser by the Seller or any other Transaction Party pursuant to this Agreement or any
other Transaction Document) or such other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Seller and
the Agent that such Foreign Purchaser is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of,
United States withholding tax, including any exemption pursuant to Section 881(c) of the
Code, and in the case of a Foreign Purchaser claiming such an exemption under Section 881(c)
of the Code, a certificate that establishes in writing to the Seller and the Agent that such
Foreign Purchaser is not (A) a “bank” as defined in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a
10-percent shareholder within the meaning of Section
89
871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a controlled foreign corporation related to the Seller
within the meaning of Section 864(d) of the Code. Thereafter and from time to time, each
such Foreign Purchaser shall (1) promptly submit to the Seller and the Agent such additional
duly and properly completed and signed copies of one or more of such forms or certificates
(or such successor forms or certificates as shall be adopted from time to time by the
relevant United States taxing authorities) as may then be available under then current
United States laws and regulations to avoid, or such evidence as is reasonably satisfactory
to the Seller and the Agent of any available exemption from, or reduction of, United States
withholding taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Foreign Purchaser by the
Seller or other Transaction Party pursuant to this Agreement, or any other Transaction
Document, in each case, (x) on or before the date that any such form, certificate or other
evidence expires or becomes obsolete, (y) after the occurrence of any event requiring a
change in the most recent form, certificate or evidence previously delivered by it to the
Seller and the Agent and (z) from time to time thereafter if reasonably requested by the
Seller or the Agent, and (1) promptly notify the Seller and the Agent of any change in
circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction.
(iii) Each Foreign Purchaser, to the extent it does not act or ceases to act for its
own account with respect to any portion of any sums paid or payable to such Foreign
Purchaser under any of the Transaction Documents (for example, in the case of a typical
participation by such Foreign Purchaser), shall deliver to the Seller and the Agent on the
date when such Foreign Purchaser ceases to act for its own account with respect to any
portion of any such sums paid or payable, and at such other times as may be necessary in the
determination of the Seller or the Agent (in either case, in the reasonable exercise of its
discretion), (A) two duly signed, properly completed copies of the forms or statements
required to be provided by such Foreign Purchaser as set forth above, to establish the
portion of any such sums paid or payable with respect to which such Foreign Purchaser acts
for its own account that is not subject to United States withholding tax, and (B) two duly
signed, properly completed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY (or any successor thereto), together
with any information such Foreign Purchaser chooses to transmit with such form, and any
other certificate or statement of exemption required under the Code, to establish that such
Foreign Purchaser is not acting for its own account with respect to a portion of any such
sums payable to such Foreign Purchaser.
(iv) Without limiting the obligations of the Purchasers set forth above regarding
delivery of certain forms and documents to establish each Purchaser’s status for U.S.
withholding tax purposes, each Purchaser agrees promptly to deliver to the Agent or the
Seller, as the Agent or the Seller shall reasonably request, on or prior to the Closing
Date, and in a timely fashion thereafter, such other documents and forms required by any
relevant taxing authorities under the Laws of any other jurisdiction, duly executed and
completed by such Purchaser, as are required under such Laws to confirm such Purchaser’s
entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction of, applicable withholding taxes
in respect of all payments to be made to such Purchaser outside of the U.S. by the Seller
pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise to establish such Purchaser’s status for withholding
tax purposes in such other jurisdiction. Each Purchaser shall promptly (i) notify the Agent
of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any such claimed
exemption or reduction, and (ii) take such steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous
to it, in the reasonable judgment of such Purchaser, and as may be reasonably necessary
(including the re-designation of its lending office) to avoid any requirement of applicable
Laws of any such jurisdiction that the Seller make any deduction or withholding for taxes
from amounts payable to such Purchaser. Additionally, the Seller shall promptly deliver to
the Agent or any Purchaser, as the Agent or such Purchaser shall reasonably request, on or
prior to the Closing Date, and in a timely fashion thereafter, such documents and forms
required by any relevant taxing authorities under the Laws of any jurisdiction, duly
executed and completed by
90
the Seller, as are required to be furnished by such Purchaser or the Agent under such Laws
in connection with any payment by the Agent or any Purchaser of Taxes or Other Taxes, or
otherwise in connection with the Transactions Documents, with respect to such jurisdiction.
(v) The Seller shall not be required to pay any additional amount or any indemnity
payment under Section 2.14 to (A) any Foreign Purchaser with respect to any Taxes required
to be deducted or withheld on the basis of the information, certificates or statements of
exemption such Purchaser transmits pursuant to this Section 11.7(a), (B) any Foreign
Purchaser if such Foreign Purchaser shall have failed to satisfy the foregoing provisions of
this Section 11.7(a), or (C) any U.S. Purchaser if such U.S. Purchaser shall have failed to
satisfy the provisions of Section 11.7(b); provided that if such Purchaser shall have
satisfied the requirement of this Section 11.7(a) or Section 11.7(b), as applicable, on the
date such Purchaser became a Purchaser or ceased to act for its own account with respect to
any payment under any of the Transaction Documents, nothing in this Section 11.7(a) or
Section 11.7(b) shall relieve the Seller of its obligation to pay any amounts pursuant to
Section 2.14 in the event that, as a result of any change in any applicable Law, treaty or
governmental rule, regulation or order, or any change in the interpretation, administration
or application thereof, such Purchaser is no longer properly entitled to deliver forms,
certificates or other evidence at a subsequent date establishing the fact that such
Purchaser or other Person for the account of which such Purchaser receives any sums payable
under any of the Transaction Documents is not subject to withholding or is subject to
withholding at a reduced rate.
(vi) The Agent may deduct and withhold any taxes required by any Laws to be deducted
and withheld from any payment under any of the Transaction Documents.
(b) Each Purchaser and the Agent that is a “United States person” within the meaning of
Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (each, a “U.S. Purchaser”) shall deliver to the Agent and
the Seller two duly signed, properly completed copies of IRS Form W-9 on or prior to the Closing
Date (or on or prior to the date it becomes a party to this Agreement), certifying that such U.S.
Purchaser is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax, or any successor
form. If such U.S. Purchaser fails to deliver such forms, then the Agent may withhold from any
payment to such U.S. Purchaser an amount equivalent to the applicable backup withholding tax
imposed by the Code and the Seller shall not be liable for any additional amounts with respect to
such withholding.
Section 11.8 Governing Law.
This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State
of New York.
Section 11.9 Jurisdiction, Etc.
(a) Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or any other Transaction
Document may be brought in the courts of the State of New York sitting in the Borough of Manhattan,
the City of New York, or of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York,
and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, each party hereto hereby accepts for itself and
in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, the jurisdiction of the aforesaid
courts. The parties hereto hereby irrevocably waive any objection, including any objection to the
laying of venue or based on the grounds of forum non conveniens, that any of them may now or
hereafter have to the bringing of any such action or proceeding in such respective jurisdictions.
91
(b) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably consents to the service of any and all legal
process, summons, notices and documents in any suit, action or proceeding brought in the United
States of America arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction
Document by the mailing (by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid) or delivering of a copy
of such process to such party, as the case may be, at its address specified in Section 11.3. Each
of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be
conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other
manner provided by law.
(c) Nothing contained in this Section 11.9 shall affect the right of the parties hereto to
serve process in any other manner permitted by law or commence legal proceedings or otherwise
proceed against any other party hereto in any other jurisdiction.
Section 11.10 Execution in Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed
shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the
same agreement. Delivery by telecopier, pdf or other electronic means of an executed counterpart
of a signature page to this Agreement shall be effective as delivery of an original executed
counterpart of this Agreement.
Section 11.11 Intent of the Parties.
It is the intention of the parties hereto that each Purchase and reinvestment shall convey to
each Purchaser, to the extent of its Receivable Interests, an undivided ownership interest in the
Pool Receivables, and the Related Security and Collections in respect thereof and that such
transaction shall constitute a purchase and sale and not a secured loan for all purposes other than
for accounting and federal income tax purposes. If, notwithstanding such intention, the conveyance
of the Receivable Interests from the Seller to any Purchaser shall ever be recharacterized as a
secured loan and not a sale, it is the intention of the parties hereto that this Agreement shall
constitute a security agreement under applicable law, and the Seller hereby grants to the Agent for
the benefit of itself and each such Purchaser a security interest in all of the Seller’s right,
title and interest in, to and under the Collateral free and clear of Liens (except for Permitted
Liens).
Notwithstanding the preceeding paragraph, all parties hereto intend and agree to treat, for
financial accounting and U.S. federal, state and local income and franchise tax (in the nature of
income tax) purposes only, the Purchase and reinvestment as a loan to the Seller secured by the
Pool Receivables, and the Related Security and Collections. The provisions of this Agreement and
all Transaction Documents shall be construed to further these intentions of the parties.
Section 11.12 Entire Agreement.
This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents contain a final and complete integration of
all prior expressions by the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall
constitute the entire agreement and understanding among the parties hereto with respect to the
subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, written or oral,
relating to the subject matter hereof.
Section 11.13 Severability of Provisions.
Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction
shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or
unenforceability without
92
invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of
such provision in any other jurisdiction.
Section 11.14 Waiver of Jury Trial.
Each of the parties hereto irrevocably waives all right to trial by jury in any action,
proceeding or counterclaim (whether based on contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of or
relating to this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, the Purchases or the actions
of the Agent or any Indemnified Party in the negotiation, administration, performance or
enforcement hereof or thereof.
93
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Agreement to be executed by their respective
officers thereunto duly authorized, as of the date above written.

ARTICLE II
SALE AND PURCHASE OF RECEIVABLE ASSETS
SECTION 2.01. Sale and Purchase of Originator Receivable Assets.
(a) On the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth (including, with respect to Originators
other than FNIS, the provisions of Section 2.02(f) below), the SPV agrees to purchase from each
Originator, and each Originator agrees to sell to the SPV, all Originator Receivables of such
Originator existing as of the opening of business on the Closing Date or, in the case of any
Originator other than any Initial Originator, the initial purchase date for such Originator, as
applicable, together with all Related Security relating to such Originator Receivables and all
Collections with respect to, and other proceeds of, such Originator Receivables. Subject to the
satisfaction of the conditions to purchase set forth and referred to in this Article II, on each
Business Day after the Closing Date or such other initial purchase date, as applicable, until the
later of the Termination Date or the date on which Capital is reduced to zero, the SPV agrees to
purchase from each Originator, and each Originator agrees to sell to the SPV, all Originator
Receivables existing as of the close of business on the immediately preceding Business Day which
have not been previously purchased hereunder, together with all Related Security relating to such
Originator Receivables and all Collections with respect to such Originator Receivables.
(b) It is the intention of the parties hereto that each purchase by the SPV, and each sale by
an Originator, of Receivable Assets to be made hereunder shall be absolute and irrevocable and will
provide the SPV with the full risks and benefits of ownership of such Receivable Assets so
purchased and shall constitute a “sale of accounts,” as such term is used in Article 9 of the UCC,
and not a loan secured by such Receivable Assets. If, notwithstanding such intention, the
conveyance of the Receivable Assets from an Originator to the SPV shall ever be recharacterized as
a secured loan and not as a sale, it is the intention of the parties hereto that this Agreement
shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law, and that such Originator shall be
deemed to have granted to the SPV, and hereby grants to the SPV, a duly perfected first priority
security interest in all of such Originator’s right, title and interest in, to and under the
Receivable Assets, free and clear of any Liens, to secure loans deemed to have been made by the SPV
to such Originator. Each sale of Receivable Assets by an Originator to the SPV is made without
recourse; provided, however, that (i) each Originator shall be liable to the SPV
for all representations, warranties and covenants made by such Originator hereunder and (ii) such
sale does not constitute and is not intended to result in an assumption by the SPV or any assignee
thereof of any obligation of such Originator or any other Person arising in connection with the
Originator Receivables, the Related Security and the related Contracts, or any other obligations of
such Originator. In view of the intention of the parties hereto that the purchases and transfers
of Receivable Assets to be made hereunder shall constitute a sale of such Receivable Assets rather
than a loan secured by such Receivable Assets, each Originator agrees to note on its financial
statements that such Receivable Assets have been sold to the SPV.
6
(c) In connection with the foregoing sales, transfers and assignments, each Originator
irrevocably authorizes the SPV to record and file, at such Originator’s expense, proper financing
statements (and proper continuation statements with respect to such financing statements when
applicable) with respect to the Receivable Assets now and hereafter from time to time acquired by
the SPV under this Agreement, in such manner and in such jurisdictions as are necessary to perfect
the sales, transfers and assignments of the Receivable Assets to the SPV (and then by the SPV to
the Agent) on or prior to the initial Purchase under the Receivables Purchase Agreement. Such
financing statements shall name such Originator as debtor/Originator, the SPV as secured
party/buyer and the Agent as assignee.
(d) The purchase price for each purchase of Receivable Assets by the SPV under this Agreement
(the “Purchase Price”) shall be an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying (a)
one minus the Required Discount (defined below) as of the date of such purchase by (b) the
Outstanding Balance of the Originator Receivables purchased. The “Required Discount” shall
be such percentage as may be determined from time to time (but no less frequently then
semiannually) by mutual agreement between an Originator and the SPV based on their respective
assessments of the prevailing cost of funds, recent performance history of the Originator
Receivables being sold hereunder (including write-offs and rate of collection) and other costs of
ownership, all determined on an arm’s length basis as though such determinations were not made by
Affiliates.
SECTION 2.02. Payment for Purchases.
(a) The Purchase Price for each purchase of Receivable Assets by the SPV shall be payable in
full in cash (except as provided in Section 2.02(d) below), by the SPV to the applicable
Originator, in each case on the date of each such purchase; except that the SPV may, with respect
to any purchase, offset against such Purchase Price any amounts owed by such Originator to the SPV
hereunder and which remain unpaid.
(b) It shall be a condition precedent to the SPV’s obligation to make the initial purchase of
Receivable Assets on the Closing Date that all conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.1 of the
Receivables Purchase Agreement shall have been satisfied or waived. In addition, it shall be a
condition precedent to the SPV’s obligation to make any purchase of Receivable Assets hereunder
(including the initial purchase of Receivable Assets on the Closing Date) that (i) the
representations and warranties of the applicable Originator contained in Section 3.01 are correct
in all material respects as to it and as to the Receivable Assets purchased from it on and as of
such day as though made on and as of such date and (ii) no event has occurred and is continuing, or
would result from such purchase, which constitutes an Event of Termination or Potential Event of
Termination. Each Originator, by accepting the proceeds of the Purchase Price for a purchase of
Receivable Assets hereunder, shall be deemed to have certified to the SPV the satisfaction of the
conditions precedent described in the immediately preceding sentence.
7
(c) Upon the payment of the Purchase Price for any purchase of Receivable Assets hereunder
(whether in cash or by an increase in the principal balance under the applicable Subordinated Note
pursuant to Section 2.02(d)) or, in the case of FNIS, the contribution of Receivable Assets to the
SPV pursuant to Section 2.02(d), title to the Originator Receivables and other Receivable Assets
included in such purchase shall vest in the SPV, whether or not the conditions precedent to such
purchase described in Section 2.02(b) above were in fact satisfied; provided,
however, that the SPV shall not be deemed to have waived any claim it may have under this
Agreement for the failure by the applicable Originator in fact to satisfy any such condition
precedent.
(d) To the extent the SPV shall have insufficient available cash to pay the Purchase Price
payable to an Originator on the date of each purchase of Receivable Assets from such Originator,
the balance of the Purchase Price then owing shall be paid by an increase to the principal amount
of the Subordinated Note issued by the SPV to such Originator; provided, however,
that the SPV may not pay the Purchase Price by means of an increase to the principal amount of any
Subordinated Note to the extent that, as a result thereof (and after giving effect thereto), the
SPV’s net worth (calculated after giving effect to all such purchases and all increases to the
principal amount of any Subordinated Note to be made on such date) would be less than 6.0% of the
aggregate Outstanding Balance of all Originator Receivables purchased or purported to be purchased
by the SPV hereunder. To the extent that the SPV shall at any time be unable to pay the Purchase
Price in respect of a purchase of Receivable Assets from FNIS as set forth in the preceding
sentence, then FNIS shall be automatically deemed to have made a capital contribution to the SPV of
the Receivable Assets which are the subject of such purchase to the extent that the Purchase Price
for such Receivable Assets is not paid for in cash or by means of an increase in the aggregate
outstanding balance under the Subordinated Note issued to FNIS.
(e) The indebtedness of the SPV under each Subordinated Note shall be subordinated to the
prior right and payment in full of the aggregate outstanding Capital, any Termination Repurchase
Obligation or Guaranty Protection Repurchase Obligation, payments of Yield and any other
obligations of the SPV arising under the Receivables Purchase Agreement. As soon as practicable
after the end of each calendar month (but no later than 15 Business Days after the end of such
month), each Originator shall determine the net increase or the net reduction in the outstanding
principal amount of the Subordinated Note issued to such Originator occurring during such calendar
month and shall account for such net increase or net reduction in its books and records.
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent that any Originator (other
than FNIS) could not be compensated by the SPV for the transfer of such Receivable Assets in cash
or advances under the Subordinated Note payable to such Originator pursuant to the provisions of
Sections 2.02(a) and 2.02(d), then such Originator will distribute to FNIS all Receivable Assets
that such Originator would otherwise sell to the SPV, and FNIS will sell or contribute, as
applicable, those Receivable Assets to the SPV in accordance with the provisions hereof.

SECTION 2.03. General Settlement Procedures.
(a) If, on any day, the Outstanding Balance of an Originator Receivable is either (i) reduced
as a result of any defective, rejected or returned goods or services, any discount, or any
adjustment by any Originator or (ii) reduced or canceled as a result of a setoff in respect of any
claim by the Obligor thereof against such Originator or any Affiliate or Subsidiary thereof other
than the SPV (whether such claim arises out of the same or a related transaction or an unrelated
transaction), such Originator shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection of such
Originator Receivable in the amount of such reduction or cancellation and shall make the payment
required to be made by it in connection with such Collection on the day required by, and otherwise
pursuant to, Section 4.01(j). If, on any day, (x) any of the representations or warranties in
Section 3.01 is no longer true with respect to any Originator Receivable or (y) it is discovered
that any Originator Receivable that was included in the Net Receivables Pool Balance as an Eligible
Receivable was not an Eligible Receivable at the time of such inclusion, the Originator to which
such Originator Receivable shall have been originally owed shall be deemed to have received on such
day a Collection in full of such Originator Receivable and shall make the payment required to be
made by it in connection with such Collection on the day required by, and otherwise pursuant to,
Section 4.01(j). Except as stated in the preceding sentences of this Section 2.03 or as otherwise
required by law or the underlying Contract, all Collections received from an Obligor of any
Originator Receivable shall be applied to Originator Receivables then outstanding of such Obligor
in the order of the age of such Originator Receivables, starting with the oldest such Originator
Receivable, except if payment is designated by such Obligor for application to specific Originator
Receivables.
(b) If requested by the SPV or the Agent at least ten Business Days before the end of any
calendar month, the SPV’s Servicer shall, within 15 Business Days after the end of such calendar
month, prepare and forward to the SPV and the Agent a Receivables Activity Report of the SPV’s
Servicer, as of the close of business of such calendar month, setting forth the calculation of the
actual Purchase Price for each Receivable Asset sold, transferred and assigned during such calendar
month, and the reconciliation of how the Purchase Price has been paid reflecting the cash advanced
from the SPV to each Originator during such calendar month, the adjustments to and current balance,
if any, due from the SPV to each Originator under its Subordinated Note and the amount of any
capital contribution pursuant to Section 2.02(d), and the amount of additional cash, if any, paid
by the SPV to each Originator during such calendar month. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, so long as no Event of Termination has
occurred and is continuing, the SPV, the SPV’s Servicer, the Receivables Administrators and the
Originators shall only be required to provide information (whether in the Seller Report, the
Receivables Activity Report or otherwise) with respect to Originator Receivables on an aggregate
basis for all Originators taken together (as opposed to on an individual basis for any Originator);
provided, however, that in connection with any removal of an Originator by reason
of a Guaranty Protection Termination pursuant to Section 2.3(a) of the Receivables Purchase
Agreement and Section 7.03(d) of this Agreement, the applicable Originator shall provide
9
information reasonably acceptable to the Agent to identify the Originator Receivables of such
Originator that are to be repurchased thereunder.
SECTION 2.04. Payments and Computations, Etc.
(a) All amounts to be paid or deposited by each Originator or the SPV’s Servicer hereunder
shall be paid or deposited in accordance with the terms hereof no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York
City time) on the day when due in U.S. Dollars in same day funds to the SPV as directed by the SPV
to such Originator in writing. Each Originator shall, to the extent permitted by law, pay to the
SPV interest on all amounts not paid or deposited by such Originator when due hereunder at 2.00%
per annum above the Base Rate in effect from time to time, payable on demand; provided,
however, that such interest rate shall not at any time exceed the maximum rate permitted by
applicable law.
(b) All computations of interest and fees hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of
360 days for the actual number of days (including the first but excluding the last day) elapsed.
(c) Each Originator hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives and relinquishes to the
fullest extent it may legally do so (i) any express or implied vendor’s lien, and any other Lien
(which would otherwise be imposed on or affect any Originator Receivable or any other Receivable
Asset), on account of any unpaid amount of such Originator’s Purchase Price therefor or on account
of any other unpaid amounts otherwise payable by the SPV under or in connection with this Agreement
or the Subordinated Note payable to the order of such Originator or otherwise and (ii) with respect
to the obligations of such Originator to make payments or deposits under this Agreement (including,
without limitation, payments under Sections 2.03 and 6.01), any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment,
defense and other right or claim which such Originator may have against the SPV as a result of or
arising out of the failure of the SPV to pay any amount on account of such Originator’s Purchase
Price under Sections 2.01 and 2.02 or any other amount payable by the SPV to such Originator under
this Agreement or the Subordinated Note payable to the order of such Originator or otherwise.
SECTION 2.05. SPV’s Servicer Fee.
The SPV shall pay to the SPV’s Servicer a fee (the “SPV’s Servicer Fee”) from the date
hereof until the Termination Date, payable on each Yield Payment Date, in an amount equal to the
amount payable to the Servicer under the Receivables Purchase Agreement or such other amount
calculated on an arm’s-length basis for services performed as a subcontractor on terms common to
collection agency arrangements in comparable asset sale transactions; provided,
however, that the SPV shall be given a credit against the SPV’s Servicer Fee payable under
this Agreement equal to the full amount of the Servicer Fee paid under the Receivables Purchase
Agreement.

of each transfer of Receivable Assets hereunder, as follows (except that only FNIS will make the
representation and warranty set forth in Section 3.01(e)):
(a) Existence, Qualification and Power; Compliance with Laws. Such Originator (a) is
a Person, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the jurisdiction of its
organization, (b) has all requisite power and authority to (i) own or lease its assets and carry on
its business and (ii) execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents

Effect.
(b) Authorization; No Contravention. The execution, delivery and performance by such
Originator of each Transaction Document to which such Originator is a party are (a) within such
Originator’s corporate or other powers, (b) have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate,

Guaranty), or require any payment to be made under, (A) any documentation governing any Permitted
Subordinated Indebtedness, (B) any other Contractual Obligation to which such Originator is a party
or affecting such Originator or the properties of such Originator or any of its Subsidiaries or (C)

Liens) referred to in clause (ii) to the extent that such conflict, breach, contravention or
payment could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(c) Governmental Authorization; Other Consents. No material approval, consent,
exemption, authorization, or other action by, or notice to, or filing with, any Governmental

other Transaction Document, except for (i) the UCC filings contemplated by the Transaction
Documents, (ii) the
11
approvals, consents, exemptions, authorizations, actions, notices and filings which have been
duly obtained, taken, given or made and are in full force, and (iii) those approvals, consents,

could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(d) Binding Effect. This Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which such
Originator is a party has been duly executed and delivered by such Originator. This Agreement and
each other Transaction Document to which such Originator is a party constitutes a legal, valid and
binding obligation of such Originator, enforceable against such Originator in accordance with its
terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy insolvency, reorganization,
receivership, moratorium or other Laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general
principles of equity.
(e) Financial Statements; No Material Adverse Effect.
(i) The pro forma consolidated financial statements of FNIS and its
Subsidiaries for (A) the twelve month period ended March 31, 2009 and (B) for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, a copy of each of which has been furnished to
the Agent for distribution to the Purchasers, have been prepared in good faith,
based on assumptions believed by FNIS to be reasonable as of the date of delivery
thereof, and present fairly in all material respects on a pro forma basis the
estimated financial position of FNIS and its Subsidiaries as of March 31, 2009 and
their estimated results of operations for the period covered thereby, assuming that
the Acquisition had actually occurred at such date or at the beginning of the
period covered thereby.
(ii) The (A) audited consolidated balance sheet of FNIS and its Subsidiaries
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, and the related consolidated
statements of income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for such fiscal year of
FNIS and its Subsidiaries, including the notes thereto and (B) unaudited
consolidated balance sheet of FNIS and its Subsidiaries dated June 30, 2009, and
the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows
for the two fiscal quarter period ended on such date fairly present in all material
respects the financial condition of FNIS and its Subsidiaries as of the date
thereof and their results of operations and cash flows for the period covered
thereby in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the period covered
thereby, except as otherwise expressly noted therein (and, with respect to
unaudited financial statements, the absence of footnotes and subject to such
adjustments as would be made in connection with the audit of financial statements
for the relevant period).
(iii) Since December 31, 2008, there has been no change, effect, event or
occurrence that has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.
12
(iv) The forecasts prepared by management of FNIS of consolidated balance
sheets, income statements and cash flow statements for (A) each fiscal quarter of
2009 and 2010 ended after the Closing Date and (B) each fiscal year commencing with
the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2009 through the fiscal year ending on
December 31, 2013, copies of which have been furnished to the Agent and the
Purchasers prior to the Closing Date, have been prepared in good faith based upon
assumptions believed in good faith by FNIS to be reasonable in light of conditions
existing at the time of preparation, it being understood that (x) such forecasts,
as to future events, are not to be viewed as facts, that actual results during the
period or periods covered by any such forecasts may differ significantly from the
forecasted results and that such differences may be material and that such
forecasts are not a guarantee of financial performance and (y) no representation is
made with respect to information of a general economic or general industry nature.
(f) Litigation. Except as disclosed in Schedule V, there are no actions, suits,
proceedings, claims or disputes pending or, to the knowledge of any Specified Responsible Officer
of such Originator, threatened in writing, at law, in equity, in arbitration or before any
Governmental Authority, by or against such Originator or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or
against any of their properties or revenues that either individually or in the aggregate, could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(g) Ownership of Property; Liens. Such Originator and each of its Restricted
Subsidiaries has good record and marketable title in fee simple to, or valid leasehold interests
in, or easements or other limited property interests in, all real property necessary in the
ordinary conduct of its business, free and clear of all Liens except for minor defects in title
that do not materially interfere with its ability to conduct its business or to utilize such assets
for their intended purposes and Liens permitted by Section 1 of Annex D to the Guaranty and except
where the failure to have such title or the existence of such Lien could not reasonably be expected
to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.
(h) Transfer.
(i) Immediately prior to each sale, transfer and/or assignment by such
Originator of any Receivable Assets hereunder, such Originator is the legal and
beneficial owner of such Receivable Assets, free and clear of any Lien (other than
Permitted Liens).
(ii) Upon each sale, transfer and/or assignment by such Originator of each
Receivable Asset to the SPV hereunder, such Originator shall transfer to the SPV
(and the SPV shall acquire), a valid interest in such Receivable Asset, free and
clear of any Lien (other than Permitted Liens), which interest shall be a perfected
first priority interest
13
(subject to Permitted Liens) upon the filing of the financing statements
referred to in Article III of the Receivables Purchase Agreement.
(iii) The Purchase Price payable to such Originator on the date of each
purchase of Receivable Assets hereunder constitutes fair consideration and
approximates fair market value for such Receivable Asset, and the terms and
conditions (including the Purchase Price therefor, and the terms of the applicable
Subordinated Note, if applicable) of the sale, transfer and assignment of such
Receivable Assets pursuant to Sections 2.01 and 2.02 (other than any capital
contribution of any such Receivable Assets) reasonably approximate an arm’s-length
transaction between unaffiliated parties. No such sale, transfer or assignment has
been made for or on account of an antecedent debt owed by such Originator to the
SPV and no such sale, transfer or assignment is or may be voidable or subject to
avoidance under any section of the Bankruptcy Code.
(i) Taxes. Such Originator and each of its Subsidiaries have filed all Federal and
material state and other tax returns and reports required to be filed, and have paid all Federal
and material state and other taxes, assessments, fees and other governmental charges levied or
imposed upon them or their properties, income or assets otherwise due and payable, except those (i)
which are not overdue by more than thirty days, (ii) which are being contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and for which adequate reserves have been provided in
accordance with GAAP or (iii) with respect to which the failure to make such filing or payment
could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(j) ERISA Compliance.
(i) Each Plan is in compliance in all material respects with the applicable
provisions of ERISA and the Code except to the extent that non-compliance could not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. In the preceding five
years, such Originator and each ERISA Affiliate have made all required
contributions to each Pension Plan subject to Section 412 of the Code, and in the
preceding five years, no application for a funding waiver or an extension of any
amortization period pursuant to Section 412 of the Code has been made with respect
to any Plan, except to the extent a failure to make such contributions or
application, as the case may be, could not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.
(ii) There are no pending or, to the knowledge of any Specified Responsible
Officer of such Originator, threatened claims, actions or lawsuits, or action by
any Governmental Authority, with respect to any Plan that could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There has been no prohibited
transaction or violation of the fiduciary
14
responsibility rules with respect to any Plan that has resulted or could
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(iii) (A) No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur; (B)
no Pension Plan has an “accumulated funding deficiency” (as defined in Section 412
of the Code), whether or not waived, and no application for a waiver of the minimum
funding standard has been filed with respect to any Pension Plan; (C) neither such
Originator nor any of its Subsidiaries nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred, or
reasonably expects to incur, any liability under Title IV of ERISA with respect to
any Pension Plan (other than premiums not yet due or premiums due and not yet
delinquent under Section 4007 of ERISA); (D) neither such Originator nor any of its
Subsidiaries nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred, or reasonably expects to incur,
any liability (and no event has occurred which, with the giving of notice under
Section 4219 of ERISA, would result in such liability) under Sections 4201 or 4243
of ERISA with respect to a Multiemployer Plan; and (E) neither such Originator nor
any of its Subsidiaries nor any ERISA Affiliate has engaged in a transaction that
could be subject to Sections 4069 or 4212(c) of ERISA, except, with respect to each
of the foregoing clauses of this Section 3.01(j), as could not reasonably be
expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(k) Subsidiaries; Equity Interests. As of the Closing Date (after giving effect to
the Acquisition), Schedule VI (i) sets forth the name and jurisdiction of organization of each
Subsidiary of such Originator (other than Subsidiaries of FNIS that in the aggregate represent less
than the greater of (x) 5% of the Total Consolidated Assets (as defined in the FNIS Credit
Agreement) and (y) 5% of the Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the FNIS Credit Agreement) of FNIS
and its Consolidated Subsidiaries) and (ii) sets forth the ownership interest of such Originator
and any other Subsidiary of FNIS in each such Subsidiary, including the percentage of such
ownership.
(l) Disclosure. No report, financial statement, certificate or other written
information furnished by or on behalf of such Originator to the Agent, any Purchaser or the SPV in
connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and the negotiation of this Agreement or
delivered hereunder or any other Transaction Document (as modified or supplemented by other
information so furnished) when taken as a whole (and considered together with all information
publicly disclosed by the Consolidated Companies) contains any material misstatement of fact or
omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under and at the time which they were made, not materially misleading; provided that,
with respect to financial estimates, projected or forecasted financial information and other
forward-looking information, such Originator represents and warrants only that such information was
prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed by such Originator to be reasonable in light
of conditions existing at the time of preparation; it being understood that (i) such projections
and forecasts, as to future events, are not to be viewed as facts, that actual results during the
period or periods covered by any such projections or
15
forecasts may differ significantly from the projected or forecasted results and that such
differences may be material and that such projections and forecasts are not a guarantee of
financial performance and (ii) no representation is made with respect to information of a general
economic or general industry nature.
(m) Solvency. On the Closing Date, after giving effect to the Acquisition and each of
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other transactions to occur on the Closing
Date, such Originator is Solvent.
(n) Credit and Collection Policy. Such Originator has complied with the Credit and
Collection Policy in all material respects and since the date of this Agreement there has been no
change in the Credit and Collection Policy except as permitted hereunder. Such Originator has not
extended or modified the terms of any Originator Receivable or the Contract under which any such
Originator Receivable arose, except in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy and in
accordance with Section 6.2(b) of the Receivables Purchase Agreement.
(o) Receivables Assets. No effective financing statement or other instrument
similarly in effect covering any Contract of such Originator or any Originator Receivable or
Related Security or Collections with respect thereto is on file in any recording office, except
those filed in favor of the SPV relating to this Agreement or in favor of the SPV and the Agent
relating to the Receivables Purchase Agreement.

the documented fees and expenses of employees or other representatives of the SPV
and the Agent in connection with such evaluations. The SPV or the Agent, as

unpaid under this Agreement and the Receivables Purchase Agreement, FNIS and, with respect to
Sections 4.02(d), (f) and (g), each Originator shall furnish to the SPV and the Agent for
distribution to the Purchasers (unless such information has been delivered pursuant to the
Receivables Purchase Agreement):

have no obligation to maintain copies of the documents referred to above, and in any event shall
have no responsibility to monitor compliance by FNIS with any such request for delivery, and each
Purchaser shall be solely responsible for requesting delivery to it or maintaining its copies of

SECTION 4.03. Negative Covenants of Each Originator.
Until the later of (i) the Termination Date and (ii) the date upon which no Capital shall be
outstanding and no Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations) remain unpaid
under this Agreement and the Receivables Purchase Agreement, each Originator shall not:
(a) Extension or Amendment of Receivables. Except as otherwise permitted in Section
6.2 of the Receivables Purchase Agreement and the applicable Credit and Collections Policy, extend,
amend or otherwise modify the terms or Outstanding Balance of any Originator Receivable, or extend,
amend, modify or waive any term or condition of any Contract related thereto.
(b) Change in Business Lines or Credit and Collection Policy. Engage to any material
extent in any business other than any of the businesses in which it is engaged on the Closing Date,
and any business reasonably related, incidental, complementary or ancillary thereto or extensions,
expansions or developments thereof, or make any change in the Credit and Collection Policy, in
either case, that would be reasonably likely to materially impair the collectability of the
Originator Receivables.
(c) Change in Payment Instructions to Obligors. Make any change in the instructions
to Obligors regarding payments to be made to any Lock-Box or Lock-Box Account, unless the Agent
shall have received at least 10 Business Days’ prior written notice of such addition, termination
or change and shall have received, with respect to each new Lock-Box Account, a Shifting Control
Deposit Account Agreement
22
executed by the Lock-Box Bank that maintains such Lock-Box Account and the owner of such
Lock-Box Account.
(d) Deposits to Lock-Box Accounts. Deposit or otherwise credit, or cause or grant
permission to be so deposited or credited, to any Restricted Account (other than a Lock-Box
Account) cash or cash proceeds in an amount exceeding $100,000 in the aggregate other than
Collections of Originator Receivables (provided, however, that no Originator shall be deemed to
have violated this covenant if, within five Business Days after any Specified Responsible Officer
of such Originator learns that cash or cash proceeds in an aggregate amount exceeding $100,000 have
been incorrectly deposited or credited to any Restricted Account, such Originator removes such cash
or cash proceeds from such Restricted Account (or, with respect to Restricted Accounts then under
the exclusive control of Agent, notifies the Agent that such removal is required)).
(e) Organizational Documents; Change of Name, Etc.
(i) Change its name, form of organization or jurisdiction of organization,
unless, prior to the effective date of any such change, if such change adversely
affects the rights of the Agent under then existing Control Agreements with such
Transaction Party to take control of the Restricted Accounts pursuant to Section
6.3(a) of the Receivables Purchase Agreement, such Originator delivers to the SPV
and the Agent new Control Agreements executed by such Originator and the relevant
banks, to the extent necessary to reflect such changes and to continue to enable
the Agent to exercise such rights.
(ii) Cause or permit the SPV’s Organization Documents to be amended, supplemented
or otherwise modified without the consent of the Agent (not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed).
(f) Sale of Receivables. Prepare any financial statements which shall account for the
transactions contemplated hereby in any manner other than the sale of the Receivable Assets by such
Originator to the SPV or otherwise treat in any other respect (other than for accounting and tax
purposes) the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in any manner other than as sales of
Receivable Assets by such Originator to the SPV.
(g) Voluntary Petitions. Cause the SPV to file a voluntary petition under the
Bankruptcy Code or any other bankruptcy or insolvency laws so long as the SPV is not “insolvent”
within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Code, and unless, and only unless, such filing has been
authorized in accordance with the SPV’s Organization Documents.
(h) Maintenance of SPV’s Separate Existence. Take any action, or omit to take any
action, if the effect is to cause the SPV to fail to perform or observe in any material respect the
covenants contained in Section 5.1(d) and Section 5.1(j) of the
23
Receivables Purchase Agreement or to otherwise cause the SPV not to be considered as a legal
entity separate and distinct from such Originator.
ARTICLE V
ADMINISTRATION AND COLLECTION
SECTION 5.01. Designation of SPV’s Servicer.
(a) The Originator Receivables shall be serviced, administered and collected by the Person
(the “SPV’s Servicer”) designated from time to time to perform the duties of the Servicer
under the Receivables Purchase Agreement in accordance with Section 6.1 of the Receivables Purchase
Agreement, and shall be serviced, administered and collected by the SPV’s Servicer in the manner
set forth in Section 6.2 of the Receivables Purchase Agreement (including by subcontracting to any
other Originator or any Receivables Administrator in accordance with Section 6.1(b) of the
Receivables Purchase Agreement). Until the Agent designates a new Servicer in accordance with
Section 6.1 of the Receivables Purchase Agreement, FNIS is hereby designated to act as, and FNIS
hereby agrees to perform the duties and obligations of, the SPV’s Servicer hereunder.
SECTION 5.02. Rights of the SPV and the Agent.
(a) Each Originator hereby acknowledges the transfer by the SPV and the Receivables
Administrators (as applicable) to the Agent of control of the Lock-Box Accounts to which the
Obligors of Originator Receivables shall make payments, and the other Restricted Accounts, and
shall take any further action that the Agent may reasonably request to effect such transfer.
(b) At any time during the continuance of an Event of Termination:
(i) Each of the SPV and the Agent acting together or alone may notify the
Obligors of Originator Receivables, at each Originator’s expense, of the SPV’s
interest in the Originator Receivables and the ownership of Receivable Interests
by the Purchasers.
(ii) Each of the SPV and the Agent acting together or alone may, at the expense
of the respective Originators to which the respective Originator Receivables
shall have been originally owed, direct the Obligors of such Originator
Receivables, or any of them, to make payment of all amounts due or to become due
to any Originator under Originator Receivables directly to the Agent or its
designee.
(iii) Each Originator shall, at the SPV’s or the Agent’s request and at such
Originator’s expense, give notice of such ownership to such Obligors and direct
them to make such payments directly to the Agent or its designee.
24
(iv) Each Originator shall, at the SPV’s or the Agent’s request and at such
Originator’s expense, (A) assemble, and make available to the SPV and the Agent
at a place reasonably selected by the Agent or its designee, all of the Records
which evidence or relate to the Receivable Assets, and the related Contracts and
Related Security, or which are otherwise necessary to collect the Originator
Receivables, provided that, in the case of Records consisting of computer
programs, data processing software and any other intellectual property under
license from third parties, such Originator will make available such Records only
to the extent that the license for such property so permits, and
provided, further, that during the continuance of an Event of
Termination, such Originator shall, at the request of the SPV or the Agent,
commence the process of assembling such Records, and (B) segregate all cash,
checks and other instruments received by it from time to time constituting
Collections or other proceeds of Originator Receivables in a manner reasonably
acceptable to the Agent and, shall promptly upon receipt, remit all such cash,
checks and instruments, duly endorsed or with duly executed instruments of
transfer, to the Agent or its designee.
(v) The Agent may take any and all commercially reasonable steps in the name of
any Originator and on behalf of such Originator, the SPV and the Purchasers that
are necessary, in the reasonable determination of the Agent, to collect amounts
due under any and all Originator Receivables, including, without limitation,
endorsing such Originator’s name on checks and other instruments representing
Collections or other proceeds of Originator Receivables and enforcing the
Originator Receivables and the related Contracts and Related Security, and
adjusting, settling or compromising the amount or payment thereof, in the same
manner and to the same extent as such Originator might have done in the absence
of Section 4.03(a).
(c) At any time during the continuance of a Triggering Event, the Agent may, upon the
instructions of the Required Purchasers and at such Originator’s expense, request any of the
Obligors of the Originator Receivables to confirm the Outstanding Balance of such Obligor’s
Originator Receivables.
SECTION 5.03. Responsibilities of the Originators.
Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding:
(a) Each Originator shall perform its obligations (if any) under the Contracts related to the
Originator Receivables to the same extent as if the Receivable Assets had not been sold and the
exercise by the SPV or the Agent of its rights hereunder or under the Receivables Purchase
Agreement shall not release the SPV’s Servicer or such Originator from such obligations or its
obligations with respect to any Originator Receivables or under the related Contracts; and
25
(b) Neither the SPV nor the Agent nor the Purchasers nor any other Indemnified Party shall
have any obligation or liability with respect to any Originator Receivables or related Contracts,
nor shall any of them be obligated to perform any of the obligations of any Originator thereunder.
SECTION 5.04. Further Actions Evidencing Purchases.
(a) Subject to the last sentence of Section 2.03(b), each Originator agrees that from time to
time, at its expense, it will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and
documents, and take all further action, that may be necessary, or that the SPV or the Agent may
reasonably request, to perfect, protect or more fully evidence or maintain the validity and
effectiveness of the sale, transfer and assignment of Receivable Assets by such Originator to the
SPV hereunder and the Receivable Interests purchased by the Purchasers under the Receivables
Purchase Agreement, to carry out more effectively the purposes of the Transaction Documents and to
enable any of them or the Agent to exercise and enforce their respective rights and remedies
hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, each Originator
will, upon the request of the SPV or the Agent, in order to perfect, protect or evidence such
sales, transfers and assignments and such Receivable Interests: (i) file or caused to be filed such
financing or continuation statements or amendments thereto or assignments thereof, and such other
instruments and documents, that may be necessary, or that the SPV or the Agent may reasonably
request; (ii) during the continuance of any Event of Termination, xxxx conspicuously each invoice
evidencing each Originator Receivable with a legend stating that such Originator Receivables and
related Contract have been sold, transferred and assigned to the SPV in accordance with this
Agreement; and (iii) during the continuance of any Event of Termination, xxxx its master data
processing records evidencing such Originator Receivables and related Contracts with such legend.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any Transaction Document, in no event
will any Transaction Party be required (nor shall the Agent or any Purchaser be entitled) to notify
any Obligor of the sale of any Originator Receivables or any Related Security from any Originator
to the SPV (or the subsequent sale thereof by the SPV to the Purchasers) unless an Event of
Termination then exists, it being understood and agreed that this sentence shall not in any way
limit the ability of the SPV or the Agent to file financing statements and other similar documents
that are contemplated by Section 2.01(c) hereof and Section 6.5(b) of the Receivables Purchase
Agreement.
(b) Each Originator hereby authorizes each of the SPV and the Agent acting together or alone
to file (with a copy provided to the Originator) one or more financing or continuation statements
and amendments thereto and assignments thereof, relating to all or any of the Receivable Assets
without the signature of such Originator where permitted by law. A photocopy or other reproduction
of this Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement where permitted by law.
(c) If FNIS in its capacity as SPV’s Servicer fails to perform any of its obligations
hereunder, the SPV or the Agent may, upon prior written notice to FNIS, itself perform, or cause
performance of, such obligation, and the reasonable costs and
26
expenses of the Agent or the SPV incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the
Originator under Section 6.01 or 8.04, as applicable.
ARTICLE VI
INDEMNIFICATION
SECTION 6.01. Indemnities by the Originators.
Without limiting any other rights that any Indemnified Party may have hereunder or under
applicable law, and whether or not any of the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated,
each Originator hereby agrees, severally but not jointly, to indemnify each Indemnified Party from
and against, and hold each thereof harmless from, any and all claims, losses, liabilities, costs
and expenses of any kind whatsoever (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and
expenses of one counsel to all Indemnified Parties, exclusive of one local counsel to all
Indemnified Parties, unless the interests of the Agent and the Purchasers are sufficiently
divergent, in which case one additional counsel may be appointed) (all of the foregoing being
collectively referred to as “Indemnified Amounts”) arising out of, or resulting from, in
whole or in part, the Transaction Documents or the activities of such Originator in connection
herewith or with any other Transaction Document or the use of proceeds of sales, transfers and
assignments of Receivable Assets hereunder; excluding, however, Indemnified Amounts
(a) to the extent resulting from (x) the gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such
Indemnified Party as determined by the final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction or (y) the failure to collect amounts in respect of an Originator Receivable to the
extent such failure results from a discharge of the Obligor with respect thereto in a proceeding in
respect of such Obligor under applicable bankruptcy laws or otherwise results from the Obligor’s
financial inability to pay such amounts or (b) that are subject to the exclusions from
reimbursement or payment therefor under Section 2.14 of the Receivables Purchase Agreement (such
Indemnified Amounts excluded by the immediately preceding clauses (a) or (b) are the “Excluded
Amounts”). Neither any Indemnified Party nor any Transaction Party shall have any liability
for any special, punitive, indirect or consequential damages relating to this Agreement or any
other Transaction Document or arising out of its activities in connection herewith or therewith
(whether before or after the Closing Date). Without limiting or being limited by the foregoing and
whether or not any of the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, each Originator shall
pay within ten Business Days after demand to each Indemnified Party any and all amounts necessary
to indemnify such Indemnified Party from and against any and all Indemnified Amounts (other than
Excluded Amounts) which relate to or result from, or which would not have occurred but for, one or

a first priority (subject to Permitted Liens) perfected 100% ownership interest
in each Originator Receivable originally owed to such Originator and the Related

for Liens created by the Transaction Documents and Permitted Liens);
(v) the failure of such Originator to have filed, or any delay by such Originator
in filing, financing statements or other similar instruments or documents under
the UCC of any applicable jurisdiction or other applicable laws with respect to
any Originator Receivable originally owed to such Originator and the Related
Security and Collections in respect thereof, whether at the time of the initial
sale, transfer and assignment hereunder or at any subsequent time;
(vi) any dispute, claim, offset or defense (other than discharge in bankruptcy of
the Obligor) of any Obligor with or against such Originator to the payment of any
Originator Receivable originally owed to such Originator (including, without
limitation, any defense based on the fact or allegation that such Receivable or
the related Contract is not a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Obligor
enforceable against it in accordance with its terms), or any other claim
resulting from the sale by such Originator of the goods or services related to
such Receivable or such Originator’s furnishing or failure to furnish such goods
or services;

obligations or covenants under and in accordance with this Agreement or any other
Transaction Document or to perform its duties or obligations under any Contract;
28
(viii) any product liability, personal injury, copyright infringement, theft of
services, property damage, or other breach of contract, antitrust, unfair trade
practices or tortious claim arising out of or in connection with any action or
omission of such Originator and the subject matter of any Contract or out of or
in connection with any transaction contemplated by this Agreement, any other
Transaction Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant
hereto or such Contract;
(ix) the commingling by such Originator of Collections of Originator Receivables
originally owed to such Originator at any time with other funds;
(x) any action or omission by such Originator, whether as SPV’s Servicer,
Servicer or otherwise, reducing or impairing the rights of the SPV hereunder or
of any Purchaser of a Receivable Interest under the Receivables Purchase
Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any other instrument or document
furnished pursuant hereto or thereto or with respect to any Originator
Receivable;
(xi) any cancellation or modification of an Originator Receivable originally owed

Receivables Purchase Agreement and the applicable Credit and Collections Policy
or by or with the express consent of the Agent or a Servicer that is not FNIS or
an Affiliate or Subsidiary of FNIS; provided that in no event shall Indemnified
Amounts include any unpaid portion of an Originator Receivable effected by any
such cancellation or modification;
(xii) (A) any investigation, litigation or proceeding related to or arising from
such Originator’s execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement, any other

“Originator” hereunder and thereunder, which Supplement shall have been duly acknowledged by the
SPV and the Agent (which acknowledgment shall be provided so long as all other conditions in this
Section 7.02 are satisfied); and
(i) if requested by the Agent, the Agent shall be reasonably satisfied with the results of a
field examination of such Originator conducted by JPMCB’s internal auditors. By its
acknowledgement hereof, the Agent agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such
internal auditors to complete such field examination within 30 days after the date on which FNIS
notifies the Agent that FNIS intends to add the proposed additional Originator, subject to any
delays caused by any Transaction Party or any other delays beyond the reasonable control of the
Agent or such internal auditors; and
(j) the Agent shall have received such other information, documents, records or reports with
respect to such proposed additional Originator or the Originator Receivables to be sold by such
proposed additional Originator as the Agent may from time to time reasonably request prior to the
Originator Addition Date.
SECTION 7.03. Termination of an Originator.
(a) Any Originator (other than FNIS) shall be terminated as an Originator hereunder by the SPV
and with prior written notice to the Agent, on behalf of the Purchasers, (i) on the occurrence of
any event set forth in Section 7.1(f) of the Receivables Purchase Agreement as to such Originator,
(ii) if FNIS ceases to own, directly or indirectly, 100% of the Equity Interests of such
Originator, or (iii) on five Business Days’ notice to such effect by the Agent (with the consent or
at the request of the Required Purchasers) to the SPV following the occurrence of any Event of
Termination as to such Originator (each a “Mandatory Originator Termination Date”). From
and after any Mandatory Originator Termination Date, the SPV shall cease buying Receivable Assets
from the related Originator. Each such Originator being terminated shall be released as an
Originator party hereto for all purposes and shall cease to be a party hereto on the
91st day after the date on which there are no amounts payable hereunder by such
Originator and no amounts outstanding with respect to Originator
32
Receivables previously sold by such Originator to the SPV, whether such amounts have been
collected or written off in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy of such Originator.
Prior to such day, such Originator shall be obligated to perform its obligations hereunder and
under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party with respect to Receivable Assets previously
sold by such Originator to the SPV, including, without limitation, its obligation to direct the
deposit of Collections into the appropriate Lock-Box or Lock-Box Account.
(b) From time to time, the Originators may request in writing (with a copy to the Agent) that
the SPV designate one or more Originators as Originators that cease to be parties to this Agreement
(a “Permissive Originator Termination”); provided that no Event of Termination or Potential
Event of Termination has occurred or will occur as a result thereof. Promptly after receipt of any
such designation by the Agent and each other Originator, such Originator shall select a date, which
date shall not be earlier than 15 Business Days after the date of receipt by the Agent of written
notice of such designation, as such Originator’s “Permissive Originator Termination Date”;
provided that such Permissive Originator Termination may not occur with respect to an Originator
without the written consent of the Agent, on behalf of the Purchasers, if (i) the aggregate
Outstanding Balance of the Originator Receivables of such Originator, together with that of all
other existing or prior Originators subject to a simultaneous or prior Permissive Originator
Termination since the first day of the calendar month covered by the most recent Seller Report
delivered pursuant to Section 5.5(j) of the Receivables Purchase Agreement (collectively, the
“Other Applicable Terminations”), exceeds 10% of the aggregate Outstanding Balance of all
Originator Receivables of all Originators reflected in such Seller Report and (ii) the Outstanding
Amount of Eligible Receivables reflected in such Seller Report, after giving pro forma effect to
such Permissive Originator Termination (and any such Other Applicable Terminations), are less than
150% of the outstanding Capital as of the date of such notice to the Agent. From and after any
Permissive Originator Termination Date, the SPV shall cease buying Receivables Assets from the
related Originator. Each such Originator shall be released as an Originator party hereto for all
purposes and shall cease to be a party hereto on the 91st day after the date on which
there are no amounts payable hereunder by such Originator and no amounts outstanding with respect
to Originator Receivables previously sold by such Originator to the SPV, whether such amounts have
been collected or written off in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy of such
Originator. Prior to such day, such Originator shall be obligated to perform its obligations
hereunder and under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party with respect to Originator
Receivables previously sold by such Originator to SPV, including, without limitation, its
obligation to direct the deposit of Collections into the appropriate Lock-Box or Lock-Box Account.
(c) A terminated Originator shall have no obligation to repurchase any Originator Receivables
previously sold by it to the SPV, but will have continuing obligations with respect to such
Receivables (including, for the avoidance of doubt, such Originator’s obligation to make payment in
respect of any Collections deemed to have been collected in respect of such Receivables pursuant to
Section 2.03(a)) to the extent such obligations arise hereunder or under any Transaction Document
to which such
33
Originator is a party, and shall be entitled to receive any settlement of any Purchase Price
payment pursuant to the provisions of Article II hereof.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Transaction
Document, the SPV shall have the right to require that an Originator be terminated, and that such
Originator repurchase from the SPV all (but not less than all) of its Originator Receivables to the
extent that Collections have not yet been received by the SPV, the Servicer or any Receivables
Administrator with respect to such Originator Receivables, if such termination is necessary for the
SPV to ensure that it will be able to maintain its exemption from any requirement that it guaranty
any obligation owing in respect of the FNIS Credit Agreement (or any Permitted Refinancing (as
defined therein) thereof) or the Metavante Credit Agreement (or any Permitted Refinancing (as
defined therein) thereof) (such termination, a “Guaranty Protection Termination”);
provided, that, (i) no Event of Termination or Potential Event of Termination will occur as
a result of such Guaranty Protection Termination and (ii) both as of the date of notice provided to
the Agent pursuant to the succeeding sentence and after giving pro forma effect to such Guaranty
Protection Termination, (A) if such Guaranty Protection Termination relates to an exception in the
applicable credit agreement that is based on the Total Assets of FNIS and its Domestic
Subsidiaries, the Total Assets of the SPV shall account for no less than 4.0% of the Total Assets
of FNIS and its Domestic Subsidiaries and (B) if such Guaranty Protection Termination relates to an
exception in the applicable credit agreement that is based on the Consolidated EBITDA (as defined
in such applicable credit agreement) of FNIS and its Domestic Subsidiaries, the Consolidated EBITDA
of the SPV shall account for no less than 4.0% of the Consolidated EBITDA of FNIS and its Domestic
Subsidiaries. In the event that the SPV determines that a Guaranty Protection Termination is
necessary and permitted pursuant to this Section 7.03(d), the SPV shall give notice to that effect
to the applicable Originator and the Agent specifying the date for such termination (such date, the
“Guaranty Protection Termination Date”), which shall be a date not earlier than five
Business Days after the date on which such notice is given. On the Guaranty Protection Termination
Date, such Originator shall repurchase from the SPV for cash all Originator Receivables sold by
such Originator to the SPV with respect to which Collections shall not yet have been received by
the SPV for a repurchase price equal to the Purchase Price originally paid by the SPV to such
Originator for such Originator Receivables (and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
Section 7.03(b), such Originator shall thereupon be released from any and all further obligations
or liabilities under this Agreement).
ARTICLE VIII
MISCELLANEOUS
SECTION 8.01. Amendments, Etc.
No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any Subordinated Note or consent
to any departure by any Originator or the SPV therefrom shall be effective unless in a writing and
signed by the Agent pursuant to the terms of the Receivables Purchase Agreement and, in the case of
any such waiver or consent, the
34
party against which the waiver or consent is to be enforced or, in the case of any such
amendment, the SPV and each Originator, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in
the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No failure on the part of the
SPV, any Purchaser or the Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall
operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.
SECTION 8.02. Notices, Etc.
(a) All notices and other communications hereunder shall, unless otherwise stated herein, be
in writing or by any telecommunications device capable of creating a written record (including with

pages hereof or at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to
the other parties hereto.
(b) All notices and other communications given to any party hereto in accordance with the

(c) Notices and other communications to the Agent hereunder may be delivered or furnished by

Originator may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder
by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such
procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.
SECTION 8.03. Binding Effect; Assignability.
This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by each Originator,
FNIS, as the SPV’s Servicer, and SPV and acknowledged by the Agent, and thereafter shall be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of such Originator, the SPV, the Agent, and each other Indemnified
Party and their respective successors and assigns, except that no Originator shall have the right
to assign its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written
consent of the SPV and the Agent and each Purchaser, and the SPV shall not have the right to assign
its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein, except its sale and assignment of the
Related Security to the Purchasers pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement (and the
Originators hereby consent to such sale and assignment). This Agreement shall create and
constitute the continuing obligation of the parties hereto in accordance with its terms, and shall
remain in full force and effect until the Termination Date; provided, however,
35
that rights and remedies with respect to the provisions of Article VI and Sections 2.03, 8.04,
8.06, 8.08, 8.12 and 8.13 shall be continuing and shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
SECTION 8.04. Costs, Expenses and Taxes.
(a) In addition to the rights of indemnification granted under this Agreement, FNIS shall pay
all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection with the preparation, execution,
delivery and administration (including periodic auditing of Originator Receivables) of, and
searches and filings in respect of, this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the other

any counsel for the Agent or any Purchasers, in connection with the enforcement (whether through
negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents
and the other instruments and documents to be delivered in connection herewith or therewith.
(b) In addition, each Originator agrees to pay any present or future stamp, court or
documentary taxes and any other excise, property, intangible or mortgage recording taxes or charges
or similar levies related to its Originator Receivables (and any related Contract or any Related
Security) or any payment made hereunder with respect thereto or which arise from such Originator’s
execution, delivery or performance of any Transaction Document to which it is a party, or the
enforcement or registration by any Indemnified Party, of any Transaction Document, but excluding
taxes on or measured by net income or overall gross income, including branch profits, and franchise
and similar taxes imposed on it in lieu of net income taxes (such non-excluded taxes being
hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”). Each Originator shall indemnify each
Indemnified Party for and hold it harmless against the full amount of Other Taxes (including,
without limitation, any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section
8.04(b)) imposed on or paid by such Indemnified Party and any liability (including penalties,
additions to tax, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto whether or not
such Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. This indemnification shall be made within 30
days from the date such Indemnified Party makes written demand therefor (with a copy to the Agent).

as the case may be.
36

Each of the Originators and the SPV agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information

directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors

confidential nature of such Information, will have agreed or otherwise be obligated to keep such
Information confidential, and the applicable Originator or the SPV, as the case may be, shall be
responsible for compliance by such Persons with such obligations) (b) to the extent required or
requested by any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the applicable Person, (c) to the

SPC (as defined in the Receivables Purchase Agreement)), (g) with the consent of an Originator, (h)
for purposes of Section 9.1(e) of the Receivables Purchase Agreement only, to any rating agency (it
being understood that, prior to any such disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake to preserve
the confidentiality of any Information relating to the Transaction Parties and their Subsidiaries
received by it from such Purchaser), (i) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly
available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available on a
nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Transaction Parties or (j) to any direct or
indirect contractual counterparty in any swap, hedge or similar agreement (or to such contractual
counterparty’s professional advisor) so long as the recipient of such Information agrees to be

information received from the Transaction Parties relating to the Transaction Parties and their
Affiliates or their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available on a

Notwithstanding any other provision herein, each Originator and the SPV (and each employee,
representative or other agent of such party) may disclose to any and all Persons, without
limitation of any kind, any information with respect to the “tax treatment” and “tax structure” (in
each case, within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4) of the transactions
contemplated by the Transaction Documents and all materials of any kind (including opinions or
other tax analyses) that are provided to such Originator or the SPV relating to such tax treatment
and tax structure.

Receivables Sale Agreement
EXHIBIT A
[FORM OF SUBORDINATED NOTE]
[ ]
1.
Note. FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, FIS RECEIVABLES SPV, LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company (“
SPV”), hereby unconditionally promises to pay to
[
], a [
] or its registered assigns (“
Originator”), in
lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds, on the date
following the date which is one year and one day after the date on which (i) the Outstanding
Balance of all Receivables sold under the “Sale Agreement” referred to below has been reduced to
zero and (ii) Originator has paid to SPV all indemnities, adjustments and other amounts which may
be outstanding thereunder in connection with the sales and transfer of the “Receivable Assets” (as
defined in the Sale Agreement) (the “
Collection Date”), the aggregate unpaid principal sum
provided for in
Section 3 hereof in accordance with the terms of that certain Receivables
Sale Agreement dated as of October 1, 2009 among
Fidelity National Information Services, Inc., as
SPV’s Servicer and as Originator, the other Originators party thereto and SPV, as SPV (as amended,
restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “
Sale Agreement”).
Reference to
Section 2.02(d) of the Sale Agreement is hereby made for a statement of the
terms and conditions under which the loans evidenced hereby have been and will be made. All terms
which are capitalized and used herein and which are not otherwise specifically defined herein shall
have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Sale Agreement.
2. Interest. SPV further promises to pay interest on the outstanding unpaid principal
amount hereof from the date hereof until payment in full hereof at a rate equal to the Base Rate;
provided, however, that if SPV shall default in the payment of any principal
hereof, SPV promises to pay, on demand, interest at the rate of the Base Rate plus 2.00% per annum
on any such unpaid amounts, from the date such payment is due to the date of actual payment;
provided that in no event shall such rate exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable
law. Interest shall be payable on the first Business Day of each month in arrears;
provided, however, that SPV may elect on the date any interest payment is due
hereunder to defer such payment and upon such election the amount of interest due but unpaid on
such date shall constitute principal under this Subordinated Note. The outstanding principal of
any loan made under this Subordinated Note shall be due and payable on the Collection Date and may
be repaid or prepaid at any time without premium or penalty.
3. Principal Payments. The aggregate outstanding principal amount of this
Subordinated Note at any time shall be equal to the excess of (x) the aggregate principal amount of
advances to SPV and increases to such principal amount made pursuant to Section 2.02(d) of the Sale
Agreement as of such time, over (y) the aggregate amount of all payments made in respect of the
principal of this Subordinated Note; provided, however, that no increases to the
principal amount of this Subordinated Note shall be made to the extent that, as a result of such
increase and after giving effect thereto, SPV’s net worth would be less than 6.0% of the aggregate
Outstanding Balance of the Receivables at such time. Originator is authorized and directed by SPV
to enter on the grid attached hereto, or, at its option, in its books and records, the date and
amount of each loan made by it which is evidenced by this Subordinated Note and
the amount of each payment of principal made by SPV, and absent manifest error, such entries
shall constitute prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information so entered;
provided that neither the failure of Originator to make any such entry or any error therein
shall expand, limit or affect the obligations of SPV hereunder.
4.
Subordination. The indebtedness evidenced by this Subordinated Note is
subordinated to the prior payment in full of all of SPV’s recourse obligations under that certain
Receivables Purchase Agreement dated as of October 1, 2009, by and among SPV,
Fidelity National
Information Services, Inc., as Servicer, the various Receivables Administrators (as defined
therein) from time to time party thereto, the various Purchasers (as defined therein) from time to
time party thereto, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as the administrative agent and collateral agent (as
amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “
Purchase
Agreement”). The subordination provisions contained herein are for the direct benefit of, and
may be enforced by, the Agent and the Purchasers and/or any of their respective assignees
(collectively, the “
Senior Claimants”) under the Purchase Agreement. Until the date on
which all “Capital Investments” outstanding under the Purchase Agreement has been repaid in full
and all other obligations of SPV and/or the Servicer thereunder, including the “Termination
Repurchase Obligations”, “Guaranty Protection Repurchase Obligations” and all “Yield” (as such
terms are defined in the Purchase Agreement) (all such obligations, collectively, the “
Senior
Claim”), have been indefeasibly paid and satisfied in full, Originator shall not demand,
accelerate, xxx for, take, receive or accept from SPV, directly or indirectly, in cash or other
property or by set-off or any other manner (including, without limitation, from or by way of
collateral) any payment or security of all or any of the indebtedness under this Subordinated Note
or exercise any remedies or take any action or proceeding to enforce the same;
provided,
however, that (i) Originator hereby agrees that it will not institute against SPV any
proceeding of the type described in
Section 7.1(f) of the Purchase Agreement unless and
until the Collection Date has occurred and (ii) nothing in this paragraph shall restrict SPV from
paying, or Originator from requesting, any payments under this Subordinated Note so long as SPV is
not required under the Purchase Agreement to set aside for the benefit of, or otherwise pay over
to, the funds used for such payments to any of the Senior Claimants and further provided that the
making of such payment would not otherwise violate the terms and provisions of the Purchase
Agreement. Should any payment, distribution or security or proceeds thereof be received by
Originator in violation of the immediately preceding sentence, Originator agrees that such payment
shall be segregated, received and held in trust for the benefit of, and deemed to be the property
of, and shall be immediately paid over and delivered to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of
the Senior Claimants.
5. Bankruptcy; Insolvency. Upon the occurrence of any proceeding of the type
described in Section 7.1(f) of the Purchase Agreement involving SPV as debtor, then and in
any such event the Senior Claimants shall receive payment in full of all amounts due or to become
due on or in respect of Capital Investments and the Senior Claim (including “Yield” and the
“Termination Repurchase Obligations” or “Guaranty Protection Repurchase Obligations”, in each case
as defined and as accruing, payable and/or to be performed under the Purchase Agreement after the
commencement of any such proceeding, whether or not any or all of such Yield or such Termination
Repurchase Obligations or Guaranty Protection Repurchase Obligations are, or give rise to, an
allowable claim in any such proceeding) before Originator is entitled to receive payment on account
of this Subordinated Note, and to that end, any payment
2
or distribution of assets of SPV of any kind or character, whether in cash, securities or
other property, in any applicable insolvency proceeding, which would otherwise be payable to or
deliverable upon or with respect to any or all indebtedness under this Subordinated Note, is hereby
assigned to and shall be paid or delivered by the Person making such payment or delivery (whether a
trustee in bankruptcy, a receiver, custodian or liquidating trustee or otherwise) directly to the
Agent for application to, or as collateral for the payment of, the Senior Claim until such Senior
Claim shall have been paid in full and satisfied.
6. GOVERNING LAW. THIS SUBORDINATED NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, SECTION
5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF NEW YORK BUT OTHERWISE WITHOUT REGARD TO THE LAW OF
CONFLICTS. WHEREVER POSSIBLE EACH PROVISION OF THIS SUBORDINATED NOTE SHALL BE INTERPRETED IN SUCH
MANNER AS TO BE EFFECTIVE AND VALID UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, BUT IF ANY PROVISION OF THIS SUBORDINATED
NOTE SHALL BE PROHIBITED BY OR INVALID UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, SUCH PROVISION SHALL BE INEFFECTIVE TO
THE EXTENT OF SUCH PROHIBITION OR INVALIDITY, WITHOUT INVALIDATING THE REMAINDER OF SUCH PROVISION
OR THE REMAINING PROVISIONS OF THIS SUBORDINATED NOTE.
7. Waivers. All parties hereto, whether as makers, endorsers, or otherwise, severally
waive presentment for payment, demand, protest and notice of dishonor. Originator additionally
expressly waives all notice of the acceptance by any Senior Claimant of the subordination and other
provisions of this Subordinated Note and expressly waives reliance by any Senior Claimant upon the
subordination and other provisions herein provided.
8. Assignment. This Subordinated Note may not be assigned, pledged or otherwise
transferred to any party without the prior written consent of the Agent, and any such attempted
transfer shall be void.
9. Notices. Any notices to be given pursuant to this Subordinated Note shall be given
as provided in the Sale Agreement.
10. Amendments. This Subordinated Note shall not be amended or modified (including
any amendment or modification that has the effect of terminating this Subordinated Note) except in
accordance with Section 8.01 of the Sale Agreement.

GUARANTY AGREEMENT
GUARANTY AGREEMENT dated as of October 1, 2009 (this “Guaranty”) made by Fidelity National
Information Services, Inc. (“FNIS”), each of the subsidiaries of FNIS listed on the signature pages
hereof under the caption “Subsidiary Guarantors” (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”) and the Additional
Subsidiary Guarantors (as defined in Section 9) (FNIS, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Additional
Subsidiary Guarantors being, collectively, the “Guarantors” and, individually, a “Guarantor”) in
favor of the Guaranteed Parties (as defined in Section 1).
PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS
Reference is made to the Receivables Purchase Agreement dated as of October 1, 2009 (as
amended from time to time, the “Receivables Purchase Agreement”) among FIS Receivables SPV, LLC, as
the seller (the “SPV”), FNIS, as the servicer (the “Servicer”), the parties serving as receivables
administrators from time to time thereunder (collectively, the “Receivables Administrators”), the
purchasers party thereto (the “Purchasers”) and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as collateral agent and
administrative agent (the “Agent”). Terms defined in the Receivables Purchase Agreement and not
otherwise defined herein are used in this Guaranty as defined in the Receivables Purchase
Agreement.
Each Guarantor may receive, directly or indirectly, a portion of the proceeds of the Purchases
under the Receivables Purchase Agreement and will derive substantial direct and indirect benefits
from the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. It is a condition precedent to
the making of Purchases by the Purchasers under the Receivables Purchase Agreement that each
Guarantor shall have executed and delivered this Guaranty.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and in order to induce the Purchasers to make
Purchases under the Receivables Purchase Agreement, each Guarantor, jointly and severally with each
other Guarantor, hereby agrees as follows:
SECTION 1. Guaranty; Limitation of Liability. (a) Each Guarantor hereby, jointly and
severally, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as a primary obligor and not
merely as a surety, the punctual payment and performance when due, whether at scheduled maturity
or by acceleration, demand or otherwise, of all of its Guaranteed Obligations. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, the liability of each Guarantor shall extend to all amounts that
constitute part of the Guaranteed Obligations and would be owed by the SPV to the Agent, the
Purchasers, each agent or employee of the Agent performing the duties of the Agent pursuant to
Section 8.1(c) of the
Receivables Purchase Agreement and the Servicer (if the Servicer is not a Transaction Party
or an Affiliate of a Transaction Party) (collectively, the “Guaranteed Parties”) under or in
respect of the Transaction Documents but for the fact that they are unenforceable, rejected,
rejectable or otherwise not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or
similar proceeding involving the SPV.
For purposes of this Guaranty, “Guaranteed Obligations” means all Obligations of the SPV, now
or hereafter existing (including, without limitation, any extensions, modifications, substitutions,
amendments or renewals of any or all of the foregoing obligations), in each case whether direct or
indirect, absolute or contingent, and whether for Yield, Guaranty Protection Repurchase
Obligations, Termination Repurchase Obligations, fees, indemnities, contract causes of action,
costs, expenses or otherwise.
(b) Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of this Guaranty, the Agent, on behalf of itself
and each other Guaranteed Party, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such Persons that
this Guaranty and the Guaranteed Obligations of each Guarantor hereunder not constitute a
fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law (as hereinafter defined), the
Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar foreign,
federal or state law to the extent applicable to this Guaranty and the Guaranteed Obligations of
each Guarantor hereunder. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Agent, the other Guaranteed
Parties and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the Guaranteed Obligations of each
Subsidiary Guarantor under this Guaranty at any time shall be limited to the maximum amount as
will result in the Guaranteed Obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under this Guaranty not
constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Bankruptcy Law or any comparable provision
of applicable law. For purposes hereof, “Bankruptcy Law” means any proceeding of the type
referred to in Section 7.1(f) of the Receivables Purchase Agreement or Title 11, U.S. Code, or any
similar foreign, federal or state law for the relief of debtors.
(c) Subject to Section 4 of this Guaranty, each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and
irrevocably agrees that in the event any payment shall be required to be made to any Guaranteed
Party under this Guaranty or any other guaranty, such Guarantor will contribute, to the maximum
extent permitted by law, such amounts to each other Guarantor so as to maximize the aggregate
amount paid to the Guaranteed Parties under or in respect of the Transaction Documents.
2
(d) Each Guarantor hereby agrees that any Indebtedness owed by it to another Transaction Party
shall be subordinated to the Guaranteed Obligations of such Guarantor and that any Indebtedness
owed to it by another Transaction Party
shall be subordinated to the Guaranteed Obligations of such other Transaction Party, it being
understood that such Guarantor or such other Transaction Party, as the case may be, may make
payments on such intercompany Indebtedness unless an Event of Termination has occurred and is
continuing. Each Guarantor further agrees that its guaranty hereunder constitutes a guarantee of
payment when due and not of collection.
SECTION 2. Guaranty Absolute. Each Guarantor guarantees that the Guaranteed Obligations
will be paid in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Documents, regardless of any law,
regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or
the rights of any Guaranteed Party with respect thereto. The Guaranteed Obligations of each
Guarantor under or in respect of this Guaranty are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations or
any other Obligations of any other Transaction Party under or in respect of the Transaction
Documents, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each Guarantor
to enforce this Guaranty, irrespective of whether any action is brought against the SPV or any
other Transaction Party or whether the SPV or any other Transaction Party is joined in any such
action or actions. The liability of each Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be irrevocable,
absolute and unconditional, and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any defenses (other than
payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations) it may now have or hereafter acquire in any way
relating to, any or all of the following:
(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Transaction Document or any agreement or
instrument relating thereto;
(b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or
any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Obligations of any other Transaction Party under or
in respect of the Transaction Documents, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to
departure from any Transaction Document, including, without limitation, any increase in the
Guaranteed Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to, or the making of
additional Purchases from, the SPV or otherwise;
(c) any taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of any Collateral (as defined in Annex A
hereto) or any other collateral, or any taking, release or amendment or waiver of, or consent to
departure from, any other guaranty, for all or any of its Guaranteed Obligations;
3
(d) any manner of application of Collateral or any other collateral, or proceeds thereof, to
all or any of its Guaranteed Obligations, or any manner of sale or other disposition of any
Collateral or any other collateral for all or any of its Guaranteed Obligations or any other
Obligations of any Transaction Party
under the Transaction Documents or any other assets of any Transaction Party or any of its
Subsidiaries;
(e) any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of any
Transaction Party or any of its Subsidiaries;
(f) any failure of any Guaranteed Party to disclose to any Transaction Party any information
relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties
or prospects of any other Transaction Party now or hereafter known to such Guaranteed Party (each
Guarantor waiving any duty on the part of the Guaranteed Parties to disclose such information);
(g) the failure of any other Person to execute or deliver this Guaranty, any Guaranty
Supplement (as hereinafter defined) or any other guaranty or agreement or the release or reduction
of liability of any Guarantor or other guarantor or surety with respect to the Guaranteed
Obligations; or
(h) any other circumstance or any existence of or reliance on any representation by any
Guaranteed Party that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any
Transaction Party or any other guarantor or surety other than satisfaction in full of the
Guaranteed Obligations.
This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time
any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any
Guaranteed Party or any other Person upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the SPV
or any other Transaction Party or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.
SECTION 3. Waivers and Acknowledgments. (a) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and
irrevocably waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance, presentment, demand for
performance, notice of non-performance, default, acceleration, protest or dishonor and any other
notice with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and this Guaranty (other than any demand,
presentment or notice required by the Transaction Documents) and any requirement that any
Guaranteed Party protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien or any property subject thereto or
exhaust any right or take any action against any Transaction Party or any other Person or, if
applicable, any Collateral.
(b) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any right to revoke this
Guaranty and acknowledges that this Guaranty is continuing
4
in nature and applies to all Guaranteed
Obligations, whether existing now or in the future.
(c) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives (i) any defense arising by
reason of any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by any Guaranteed Party that in
any manner impairs, reduces, releases
or otherwise adversely affects the subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or
indemnification rights of such Guarantor or other rights of such Guarantor to proceed against any
other Transaction Party, any other guarantor or any other Person or, if applicable, any Collateral
and (ii) any defense based on any right of set-off or counterclaim against or in respect of the
Guaranteed Obligations of such Guarantor hereunder.
(d) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any duty on the part of any
Guaranteed Party to disclose to such Guarantor any matter, fact or thing relating to the business,
condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of any other
Transaction Party or any of its Subsidiaries now or hereafter known by such Guaranteed Party.
(e) Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive substantial direct and indirect benefits
from the financing and sale arrangements contemplated by the Transaction Documents and that the
waivers set forth in Section 2 and this Section 3 are knowingly made in contemplation of such
benefits.
SECTION 4. Subrogation. Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees not to
exercise any rights that it may now have or hereafter acquire against any other Transaction Party
that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of such Guarantor’s Guaranteed
Obligations under or in respect of this Guaranty or any other Transaction Document, including,
without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or
indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of any Guaranteed Party
against any other Transaction Party or, if applicable, any Collateral, whether or not such claim,
remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including, without
limitation, the right to take or receive from any other Transaction Party, directly or indirectly,
in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of
such claim, remedy or right, unless and until all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other
amounts payable under this Guaranty shall have been paid in full in cash, the SPV’s Repurchase
Obligations shall have been performed, Capital shall have been reduced to zero and the Commitments
shall have expired or been terminated. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor in violation
of the immediately preceding sentence at any time prior to the latest of (a) the payment in full
in
5
cash of the Guaranteed Obligations (including, for the avoidance of doubt, amounts payable in
respect of the SPV’s Repurchase Obligations) and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty,
(b) the Termination Date and (c) the reduction of Capital to zero, such amount shall be received
and held in trust for the benefit of the Guaranteed Parties, shall be segregated from other
property and funds of such Guarantor and shall forthwith be paid or delivered to the Agent in the
same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement or assignment) to be credited and applied
to the Guaranteed Obligations and all
other amounts payable under this Guaranty, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with
the terms of the Transaction Documents, or to be held as Collateral for any of such Guarantor’s
Guaranteed Obligations or other amounts payable by it under this Guaranty thereafter arising. If
(i) all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty shall have
been paid in full in cash, (ii) the Termination Date shall have occurred and (iii) Capital shall
have been reduced to zero, the Guaranteed Parties will, at any Guarantor’s request and expense,
execute and deliver to such Guarantor appropriate documents, without recourse and without
representation or warranty, necessary to evidence the transfer by subrogation to such Guarantor of
an interest in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from such payment made by such Guarantor
pursuant to this Guaranty.
SECTION 5. Payments Free and Clear of Taxes, Etc. Any and all payments by any Guarantor
under this Guaranty or any other Transaction Document shall be made in accordance with the terms
of the Receivables Purchase Agreement, including the provisions of Section 2.14 of the Receivables
Purchase Agreement (and such Guarantor shall make such payments of Taxes and Other Taxes to the
extent described in Section 2.14), as though such payments were made by the SPV.
SECTION 6. Representations And Warranties of FNIS. FNIS represents and warrants to the
Agent and the Purchasers as to each of the matters set forth on Annex B hereto as if such
provisions were fully set forth herein. Unless otherwise defined in the Receivables Purchase
Agreement, each of the defined terms used in Annex B shall have the meaning assigned to such term
in Annex A hereto.
SECTION 7. Covenants. Until the latest of (i) the date on which all of the Guaranteed
Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty shall have been paid in full in
cash, (ii) the Termination Date and (ii) the date upon which Capital shall have been reduced to
zero:
(a) FNIS shall, and shall (except in the case of the covenants set forth in Section
1, Section 2 and Section 3 of Annex C attached hereto)
6
cause each Restricted Subsidiary
to, perform each of the covenants set forth on Annex C hereto as if such provisions were
fully set forth herein;
(b) FNIS shall not, nor shall it permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or
indirectly, take the actions set forth in Annex D hereto as if such provisions were fully
set forth herein; and
(c) each Subsidiary Guarantor covenants and agrees that it shall perform and observe,
and cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to perform and observe, all of the terms,
covenants and agreements set forth
in the Transaction Documents on its or their part to be performed or observed or that FNIS
has agreed to cause such Subsidiary Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiaries to perform
or observe.
Unless otherwise defined therein, each of the defined terms used in Annex C and D shall have the
meaning assigned to such term in Annex A hereto.
SECTION 8. Amendments, Release of Subsidiary Guarantors, Etc. No amendment or waiver of any
provision of this Guaranty and no consent to any departure by any Guarantor therefrom shall in any
event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Agent and the Guarantors
(with the consent of the requisite number of Purchasers specified in the Receivables Purchase
Agreement) and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and
for the specific purpose for which given. A Subsidiary Guarantor shall automatically be released
from this Guaranty and its obligations hereunder if FNIS determines that such Subsidiary Guarantor
is no longer required under Section 12 of Annex C hereto to be a Subsidiary Guarantor and gives
notice to that effect to the Agent. The Agent will, at FNIS’s expense, execute and deliver to
such Subsidiary Guarantor such documents as FNIS shall reasonably request to evidence the release
of such Subsidiary Guarantor from its Guarantee hereunder pursuant to this Section 8; provided
that FNIS shall have delivered to the Agent a written request therefor and a certificate of FNIS
to the effect that the determination is in compliance with the Transaction Documents. The Agent
shall be authorized to rely on any such certificate without independent investigation.

be a Subsidiary Guarantor and Guarantor hereunder, and each reference in this Guaranty to a

mean and be a reference to this Guaranty as supplemented by such Guaranty Supplement.

be in writing (including, without limitation, telegraphic, telecopy or telex communication or
facsimile transmission) and mailed, telegraphed, telecopied, telexed, faxed or delivered to it, if

other communications shall be deemed to be given or made at such time as shall be set forth in

an executed counterpart of a signature page to any amendment or waiver of any provision of this
Guaranty or of any Guaranty Supplement to be executed and delivered hereunder shall be effective
as delivery of an original executed counterpart thereof.
SECTION 11. No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of any Guaranteed Party to
exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor
shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not
exclusive of any remedies provided by law.
SECTION 12. Right of Set-off. Upon (a) the occurrence and during the continuance of any
Event of Termination and (b) the making of the request or the granting of the consent specified by
Section 7.1 of the Receivables Purchase Agreement to authorize the Agent to declare that the

obtaining the prior written consent of the Agent and each Purchaser is hereby authorized at any
time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and
all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, but not any deposits held
in a custodial, trust or other fiduciary capacity) at any time held and other indebtedness at any
time owing by the Agent or such Purchaser to or for the credit or the account of any Guarantor
against any and all of the Guaranteed Obligations of such Guarantor now or
8
hereafter existing
under any Transaction Document, irrespective of whether the Agent or such Purchaser shall have
made any demand under this Guaranty or any other Transaction Document and although such Guaranteed
Obligations may be unmatured. The Agent and each Purchaser agrees promptly to notify such
Guarantor after any such set-off and application; provided that the failure to give such notice
shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of the Agent and each

limitation, other rights of set-off) that the Agent and such Purchaser may have.

FORM OF GUARANTY SUPPLEMENT
,
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Agent
[ ]
Attention:
Re: the Receivables Purchase Agreement dated as of October 1, 2009 (the “Receivables Purchase
Agreement”) among FIS Receivables SPV, LLC, Fidelity National Information Services, Inc., as
servicer, the parties serving as receivables administrators, the purchasers party thereto, and
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as collateral agent and administrative agent
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Reference is made to (i) the Receivables Purchase Agreement and (ii) the Guaranty Agreement
dated as of October 1, 2009, made by the Subsidiary Guarantors party thereto in favor of the
Guaranteed Parties described therein (such Guaranty Agreement, as in effect on the date hereof and
as it may hereafter be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, together with
this Guaranty Supplement (this “Guaranty Supplement”), being the “Guaranty”). The capitalized
terms defined in the Guaranty or in the Receivables Purchase Agreement and not otherwise defined
herein are used herein as therein defined.
Section 1. Guaranty; Limitation of Liability. (a) The undersigned hereby, jointly and
severally with the other Guarantors, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as a
primary obligor and not merely as a surety, the punctual payment and performance when due, whether
at scheduled maturity or by acceleration, demand or otherwise, of all of its Guaranteed
Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the undersigned’s liability shall
extend to all amounts that constitute part of the Guaranteed Obligations and would be owed by the
SPV to any Guaranteed Party under or in respect of the Transaction Documents but for the fact that
they are unenforceable, rejected, rejectable or otherwise not allowable due to the existence of a
bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving the SPV.
(b) The undersigned, and by its acceptance of this Guaranty Supplement, the Agent, on behalf
of itself and each other Guaranteed Party,
A-1
hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such Persons that this Guaranty Supplement,
the Guaranty and the Guaranteed Obligations of the undersigned hereunder and thereunder not
constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law (as hereinafter
defined), the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar
foreign, federal or state law to the extent applicable to this Guaranty Supplement and the
Guaranteed Obligations of each Guarantor hereunder. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the
Agent, the other Guaranteed Parties and the undersigned hereby irrevocably agree that the
Guaranteed Obligations of the undersigned Guarantor under this Guaranty Supplement and the Guaranty
at any time shall be limited to the maximum amount as will result in the Guaranteed Obligations of
the undersigned under this Guaranty Supplement and the Guaranty not constituting a fraudulent
transfer or conveyance under Bankruptcy Law or any comparable provision of applicable law.
(c) Subject to Section 4 of the Subsidiary Guaranty, the undersigned hereby unconditionally
and irrevocably agrees that in the event any payment shall be required to be made to any Guaranteed
Party under this Guaranty Supplement, the Subsidiary Guaranty, or any other guaranty, the
undersigned will contribute, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, such amounts to
each other Guarantor so as to maximize the aggregate amount paid to the Guaranteed Parties under or
in respect of the Transaction Documents.
(d) The undersigned hereby agrees that any Indebtedness owed by it to another Transaction
Party shall be subordinated to the Guaranteed Obligations of the undersigned and that any
Indebtedness owed to it by another Transaction Party shall be subordinated to the Guaranteed
Obligations of such other Transaction Party, it being understood that the undersigned or such other
Transaction Party, as the case may be, may make payments on such intercompany Indebtedness unless
an Event of Termination has occurred and is continuing. The undersigned further agrees that its
guaranty hereunder constitutes a guarantee of payment when due and not of collection.
Section 2. Guaranteed Obligations Under the Guaranty. The undersigned hereby agrees, as of
the date first above written, to be bound as a Guarantor by all of the terms and conditions of the
Guaranty to the same extent as each of the other Guarantors thereunder. The undersigned further
agrees, as of the date first above written, that each reference in the Subsidiary Guaranty to an
“Additional Subsidiary Guarantor”, a “Subsidiary Guarantor”, or a “Guarantor” shall also mean and
be a reference to the undersigned, and each reference in any other Transaction Document to a
“Subsidiary Guarantor”, “Guarantor” or a “Transaction Party” shall also mean and be a reference to
the undersigned.
A-2
Section 3. Delivery by Telecopier. This Guaranty Supplement may be executed in any number of
counterparts and by different parties thereto in separate
counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of
which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed
counterpart of a signature page to this Guaranty Supplement by telecopier or electronic mail shall
be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Guaranty Supplement.
Section 4. GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL, ETC. (a) THIS GUARANTY
SUPPLEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW
YORK.
(b) ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT
MAY BE BROUGHT IN XXX XXXXXX XX XXX XXXXX XX XXX XXXX SITTING IN NEW YORK CITY OR OF THE UNITED
STATES FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF SUCH STATE, AND BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS GUARANTY
SUPPLEMENT, EACH PARTY HERETO CONSENTS, FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, TO THE
NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THOSE COURTS. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION,
INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON THE GROUNDS OF
FORUM NON CONVENIENS, WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION OR
PROCEEDING IN SUCH JURISDICTION IN RESPECT OF ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR OTHER DOCUMENT RELATED THERETO.
(c) EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY CLAIM,
DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR
RELATING TO ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO.
