BACKGROUND:
1. The Purchaser is a bankruptcy-remote special purpose
corporation, all of the issued and outstanding shares of which are owned by OnX or an entity directly or indirectly owned by OnX;
2. The Originators generate Receivables in the ordinary
course of their businesses;
3. OnX, as Originator and Servicer, and the Purchaser
entered into a Canadian Purchase and Sale Agreement dated as of the Original Closing Date (as it may have been further amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified from time to time on or prior to the
2
Closing Date, the “Existing Canadian PSA”), and pursuant to the Existing Canadian PSA, the
Purchaser has purchased Receivables from OnX; and
4. The Originators wish to continue to sell Receivables
to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser is willing to purchase Receivables from the Originators, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein; and
5. Each of the Originators and the Purchaser intend this
transaction to be a true sale of Receivables by each Originator to the Purchaser, providing the Purchaser with the full benefits of ownership of the Receivables, and the Originators and the Purchaser do not intend the transactions hereunder to be a
loan from the Purchaser to any Originator.
6. The Purchaser intends to sell or pledge the
Receivables and the Related Rights to the Administrator for the benefit of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms of the CBTS Receivables Financing Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
AGREEMENT TO PURCHASE AND SELL
SECTION 1.1 Agreement To Purchase and Sell. On the
terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, each Originator, severally and for itself, agrees to sell to the Purchaser, on a fully-serviced basis, and the Purchaser agrees to purchase from such Originator, from time to time on or
after the Closing Date, but before the Purchase and Sale Termination Date (as defined in Section 1.4) with respect to such Originator, on a fully-serviced basis, all of
such Originator’s right, title and interest in and to:
(a) each Receivable of such Originator
that existed and was owing to such Originator at the closing of such Originator’s business on the Closing Date;
(b) each Receivable generated by such
Originator after the Closing Date to but excluding the Purchase and Sale Termination Date with respect to such Originator;
(c) all rights to, but not the
obligations of, such Originator under all Related Security with respect to any of the foregoing Receivables;
(d) all monies due or to become due to
such Originator with respect to any of the foregoing;
(e) all books and records of such
Originator to the extent related to any of the foregoing;
(f) all Collections and other proceeds
(as such term is defined in the applicable PPSA) of any of the foregoing that are or were received by such Originator on
3
or after the Closing Date, including, without limitation, all funds which either are received by such Originator, the Purchaser or the Servicer from
or on behalf of the Obligors in payment of any amounts owed (including, without limitation, invoice price, finance charges, interest and all other charges) in respect of any of the above Receivables or are applied to such amounts owed by the Obligors
(including, without limitation, any insurance payments that such Originator, the Purchaser or the Servicer applies in the ordinary course of its business to amounts owed in respect of any of the above Receivables, and net proceeds of sale or other
disposition of repossessed goods or other collateral or property of the Obligors in respect of any of the above Receivables or any other parties directly or indirectly liable for payment of such Receivables); and
(g) all right, title and interest (but
not obligations) in and to the Lock-Box Accounts, into which any Collections or other proceeds with respect to such Receivables may be deposited, and any related investment property acquired with any such collections or other proceeds (as such term
is defined in the applicable PPSA).
All purchases hereunder shall be made without recourse, but shall be made pursuant to, and in reliance upon, the representations, warranties and covenants of the
Originators set forth in this Agreement and each other Transaction Document. No obligation or liability to any Obligor on any Receivable is intended to be assumed by the Purchaser hereunder, and any such assumption is expressly disclaimed. The
Purchaser’s foregoing commitment to purchase Receivables and the proceeds and rights described in clauses (c) through (g) with respect to such Receivables (collectively, the “Related Rights”) is herein called the “Purchase Facility.”
SECTION 1.2 Timing of Purchases.
(a) Closing Date Purchases. Each Originator’s entire right, title and interest in (i) each Receivable that existed and was owing to such Originator at the Closing Date, and (ii) all Related Rights with respect thereto
automatically shall be sold and deemed to have been sold by such Originator to the Purchaser on the Closing Date.
(b) Subsequent Purchases. After the Closing Date, until the Purchase and Sale Termination Date with respect to an Originator, each Receivable and the Related Rights generated by such Originator shall be, and shall be deemed to
have been, sold by such Originator to the Purchaser immediately (and without further action) upon the creation of such Receivable.
SECTION 1.3 Consideration for Purchases. On the
terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Purchaser agrees to make Purchase Price payments to the Originators in accordance with Article III or,
if the Purchase Price will be satisfied by the issuance by the Purchaser of common shares in the capital of the Purchaser, to issue such common shares to the applicable Originators in accordance with Article III.
SECTION 1.4 Purchase and Sale Termination Date.
The “Purchase and Sale Termination Date” shall mean, with respect to an Originator, the earlier to occur of (a) the date the Purchase Facility is terminated (or deemed
terminated)
4
with respect to such Originator pursuant to Section 8.2(a) and (b) the Final Payout Date.
SECTION 1.5 Intention of the Parties. It is the
express intent of each Originator and the Purchaser (a) that each conveyance by such Originator to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement of the Receivables and Related Rights, including without limitation, all Receivables, if any, constituting
accounts as defined in the PPSA, and all Related Rights be construed as a valid and perfected sale and absolute assignment of such Receivables and Related Rights by such Originator to the Purchaser (rather than the grant of a security interest to
secure a debt or other obligation of such Originator) without recourse to such Originator; provided, that (i) each Originator shall be liable to the Purchaser for all
representations, warranties and covenants made by such Originator pursuant hereto and (ii) such sale does not constitute and is not intended to result in an assumption by the Purchaser or any assignee thereof of any obligation of any Originator or
any other Person arising in connection with the Receivables and Related Rights or any other obligations of any Originator, and (b) that the right, title and interest in and to such Receivables and Related Rights conveyed to the Purchaser be prior to
the rights of and enforceable against all other Persons at any time, including, without limitation, lien creditors, secured lenders, purchasers and any Person claiming through such Originator. Each Originator hereby authorizes the Purchaser (and the
Agent, as assignees of the Purchaser) to file financing statements, financing change statements and applications for registration in connection with the sales contemplated by this Agreement.
SECTION 1.6 Purchase and Sale of Québec Receivables.
Each Originator shall deliver to the Purchaser an executed Québec assignment agreement in respect of Québec Receivables in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (a “Québec Assignment
Agreement”) contemporaneously with the first sale of Québec Receivables by such Originator to the Purchaser hereunder, and such Originator shall promptly execute and deliver to the Purchaser, upon the Purchaser’s request and at the
Originator’s expense, such notices of assignment to debtors, information, applications for registration with the Register of Personal and Movable Real Rights (Québec) and such other writings as the Purchaser may reasonably request to give effect to
the sale, assignment and transfer of such Québec Receivables to the Purchaser. Without limiting the forgoing, each Originator shall promptly, and in any such event within ten (10) Business Days after the first sale of Québec Receivables by such
Originator to the Purchaser hereunder, cause an application for registration to be prepared and registered with the Register of Personal and Movable Real Rights (Québec) in respect of the Québec Assignment Agreement delivered by such Originator and
cause Québec counsel to deliver a post-registration opinion confirming that all such registrations have been duly effected.
SECTION 1.7 Servicing. All purchases of
Receivables and Related Rights shall be made on the basis that the Receivables and Related Rights shall be fully serviced by the applicable Originator and neither the applicable Originator nor its
5
Affiliates or agents shall be entitled to receive any further compensation for its services in connection therewith or any reimbursement for any
costs or expenses incurred by it in such capacity, it being acknowledged by each Originator that the Purchase Price received by it for the sale, assignment and transfer of the Receivables and the Related Rights to the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement
covers any servicing activities relating to the Receivables and Related Rights and reimbursement for all expenses incurred by it. Each Originator acknowledges that the responsibility for servicing the Receivables and Related Rights sold by it under
this agreement is that of such Originator and such Originator hereby agrees to service such Receivables and Related Rights in accordance with and subject to the terms set out herein and in the CBTS Receivables Financing Agreement. Each Originator
(other than OnX) and the Purchaser hereby appoints OnX as the sub-servicer of each such Originator, to service and administer the Receivables and Related Rights in accordance with and subject to the terms set out herein and in the CBTS Receivables
Financing Agreement; provided that each such Originator shall remain liable for the performance of the duties and obligations so delegated. The Administrator may terminate any Originator as a servicer of the Receivables and Related Rights
concurrently with the termination of the Servicer under the CBTS Receivables Financing Agreement.
ARTICLE II
PURCHASE RECORDS; CALCULATION OF PURCHASE PRICE
SECTION 2.1 Purchase Records. On the Closing Date
and on or prior to each date when an Information Package is due to be delivered under the CBTS Receivables Financing Agreement (each such date, a “Monthly Purchase Record Date”),
the Servicer shall record in its books and records, which it shall maintain and make available to the Purchaser and each Originator upon request, the following information (the “Purchase
Records”):
(a) Receivables purchased by the Purchaser from any
Originator as of the Closing Date (in the case of Purchase Records to be recorded on the Closing Date), including Receivables purchased pursuant to the Existing Canadian PSA ;
(b) Receivables purchased by the Purchaser from any
Originator during the calendar month immediately preceding such Monthly Purchase Record Date (in the case of a Monthly Purchase Record Date after the Closing Date); and
(c) the calculations of reductions of the Purchase Price
for any Receivables as provided in Section 3.3 (a) and (b).
For the avoidance of doubt, no failure by any Servicer to maintain any Purchase Records, or the existence of any error therein, shall derogate from the Purchaser’s and
its assigns’, right, title and interest in, to or under any Receivables or Related Rights conveyed or purported to be conveyed to the Purchaser hereunder.
6
SECTION 2.2 Calculation of Purchase Price. The
“Purchase Price” to be paid to each Originator for the Receivables that are purchased hereunder from such Originator shall be determined in accordance with the following formula:
PP
|
=
|
OB x FMVD
|
|
where:
|
|||
PP
|
=
|
Purchase Price for each Receivable as calculated on the relevant Payment Date.
|
|
OB
|
=
|
The Outstanding Balance of such Receivable on the relevant Payment Date.
|
|
FMVD
|
=
|
A Fair Market Value Discount percentage, initially equal to ninety-nine percent (99.0%) of the Outstanding Balance of such Receivable on the relevant Payment
Date; provided, however, that the Fair Market Value Discount percentage may be revised prospectively with the consent of the parties hereto (and, for the avoidance of doubt, without affecting the Purchase Price of Receivables previously sold
hereunder) to the extent any such revision is necessary to have the Fair Market Value Discount percentage reflect the fair market value of Receivables to be sold hereunder after giving effect to such revision.
|
“Payment Date” means (i) the Closing Date and (ii) each Business Day
thereafter that the Originators are open for business.
ARTICLE III
PAYMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE
SECTION 3.1 Purchase Price Payments. On each Payment
Date subsequent to the Closing Date, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Purchaser agrees to pay to each Originator the Purchase Price for the Receivables sold to the Purchaser by such Originator on such
Payment Date as follows (and in the following order of priority):
(i) first, in cash to the extent the Purchaser has cash available therefor (and such payment is not prohibited under the CBTS Receivables Financing Agreement) and/or, if requested by
such Originator, by causing the LC Bank to issue one or more Letters of Credit in accordance with Section 3.6 and on the terms and subject to the conditions of this
Article III and the CBTS Receivables Financing Agreement; and
(ii) second, to the extent any portion of the Purchase Price remains unpaid, a Subordinated Loan shall automatically be made by such Originator to the Purchaser under the Subordinated
Loan Agreement in an initial principal amount equal to the amount of such remaining Purchase Price payment and the proceeds of such
7
Subordinated Loan shall be used by the Purchaser to pay the remaining Purchase Price payment to such Originator.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchaser may elect to satisfy all or any portion of the Purchase Price payable to an Originator for the purchase of Receivables by
the issuance of common shares of the Purchaser to the Originator with a fair market value equal to such Purchase Price. From time to time at the request of an Originator, the Purchaser will issue share certificates evidencing the issuance of such
common shares. In each case, each of the applicable Originator and the Purchaser hereby acknowledge the sufficiency of such consideration.
OnX, as owner of all equity interests in the Purchaser and as Servicer, shall cause any Collections that are Released to the Purchaser from time to time pursuant to the
CBTS Receivables Financing Agreement to be applied by or on behalf of the Purchaser in accordance with this Section 3.1.
In the event an Originator requests that any purchases be paid for by issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Originator shall on a timely basis provide the Purchaser with
such information as is necessary for the Purchaser to obtain such Letter of Credit from the LC Bank. Neither any Originator nor any Affiliate thereof (other than the Purchaser) shall have any reimbursement or recourse obligations in respect of any
Letter of Credit.
SECTION 3.2 [Reserved].
SECTION 3.3 Settlement as to Specific Receivables and Dilution.
(a) If, on the day of purchase of any Receivable from an
Originator hereunder, any of the representations or warranties set forth in Sections 5.10, 5.15
and 5.17 was untrue with respect to such Receivable, then the Purchase Price with respect to such Receivable shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Outstanding
Balance of such Receivable and shall be accounted to such Originator as provided in paragraph (c) below; provided,
that if the Purchaser thereafter receives payment on account of Collections due with respect to such Receivable, the Purchaser promptly shall deliver such funds to such Originator.
(b) If, on any day, the Outstanding Balance of any
Receivable purchased hereunder is reduced or adjusted as a result of any defective, rejected or returned goods or services, or any revision, cancellation, allowance, discount or other adjustment made by an Originator or any Affiliate of such
Originator (other than the Purchaser), or the Servicer or any Affiliate of the Servicer (other than the Purchaser), or any setoff or dispute between an Originator or any Affiliate of such Originator (other than the Purchaser), or the Servicer or
any Affiliate of the Servicer (other than the Purchaser) and an Obligor (except any such revision, cancellation, allowance, discount or other adjustment made in settlement of such Receivable resulting from the financial inability of the applicable
Obligor to pay such Receivable and, in the case of all Receivables, made in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policies), then the Purchase Price with respect to such Receivable shall be reduced by the amount of such net reduction and shall
be accounted to such Originator as provided in paragraph (c) below.
(c) In the case of any Receivable sold by an Originator
to the Purchaser hereunder, any reduction in the Purchase Price of such Receivable pursuant to paragraph (a) or
8
(b) above shall be applied as a credit for the account of the Purchaser against the Purchase
Price of Receivables subsequently purchased by the Purchaser from such Originator hereunder; provided, however
if there have been no purchases of Receivables from such Originator (or insufficiently large purchases of Receivables) to create a Purchase Price sufficient to so apply such credit against, the amount of such credit:
(i) to the extent of any outstanding
principal balance under the Subordinated Loan payable to such Originator, shall be deemed to be a payment under, and shall be deducted from the principal amount outstanding under, the Subordinated Loan payable to such Originator; and
(ii) after making any deduction
pursuant to clause (i) above, shall be paid in cash to the Purchaser by such Originator in the manner and for application as described in the following proviso;
provided, further,
that at any time (y) when an Event of Default exists under the CBTS Receivables Financing Agreement or (z) on or after the Purchase and Sale Termination Date with respect to such Originator, the amount of any such credit shall be paid by such
Originator to the Purchaser by deposit in immediately available funds into a Lock-Box Account for application by the Servicer to the same extent as if Collections of the applicable Receivable in such amount had actually been received on such date.
SECTION 3.4 [Reserved]
SECTION 3.5 Reconveyance of Receivables. In the event that an Originator has paid to the Purchaser the full Outstanding Balance of any Receivable pursuant to Section 3.3, the Purchaser shall reconvey such Receivable to such Originator, without representation or warranty, but free and clear of all liens, security interests, charges, and encumbrances created by the
Purchaser.
SECTION 3.6 Letters of Credit.
(a) Upon the request of OnX (acting as agent for the
Originators as described in subsection (b) below), and on the terms and conditions for issuing Letters of Credit under the CBTS Receivables Financing Agreement (including any limitations therein on the amount of any such issuance), the Purchaser
agrees to cause the LC Bank to issue, on the Payment Dates specified by OnX (on behalf of the Originators), Letters of Credit on behalf of any Originator or any Originator’s designee (which designee shall be an Affiliate of the Purchaser and the
Originators) in favour of the beneficiaries specified by OnX (on behalf of the Originators). The aggregate stated amount of the Letters of Credit being issued on any Payment Date on behalf of any Originator or its designee plus any related fees
and expenses payable by the Purchaser in connection with the issuance of the Letters of Credit shall constitute a credit against the aggregate Purchase Price payable by the Purchaser to such Originator on such Payment Date pursuant to Section 3.1. To the extent that the aggregate stated amount of the Letters of Credit being issued on any Payment Date plus any related fees and expenses payable by the
Purchaser in connection with the issuance of the Letters of Credit exceeds the aggregate Purchase Price payable by the Purchaser to any Originator on such Payment Date, such excess shall be deemed
9
to be a reduction in the outstanding principal balance of (and, to the extent necessary, the accrued but unpaid interest on) the applicable Subordinated Loan payable to
such Originator. The aggregate stated amount of Letters of Credit to be issued on any Payment Date plus any related fees and expenses payable by the Purchaser in connection with the issuance of the Letters of Credit shall not exceed the sum of the
aggregate Purchase Price payable on such Payment Date to the Originators plus the aggregate outstanding principal balance of, and accrued but unpaid interest on, the Subordinated Loans payable to the Originators on such Payment Date. In the event
that any such Letter of Credit issued pursuant to this Section 3.6 (i) expires or is cancelled or otherwise terminated with all or any portion of its stated amount undrawn,
(ii) has its stated amount decreased (for a reason other than a drawing having been made thereunder) or (iii) the Purchaser’s Reimbursement Obligation in respect thereof is reduced for any reason other than by virtue of a payment made in respect of a
drawing thereunder, then an amount equal to such undrawn amount, such decrease or such reduction, as the case may be, shall either be paid in cash to such Originator on the next Payment Date or, if the Purchaser does not then have cash available
therefor, shall be added to the outstanding principal balance of the Subordinated Loan owing to such Originator. Under no circumstances shall any Originator (or any Affiliate thereof (other than the Purchaser)) have any reimbursement or recourse
obligations in respect of any Letter of Credit.

appointment the Purchaser, the Agent, the Group Agents and the Secured Parties may rely until such Originator provides contrary written notice to all of such Persons) to act on such Originator’s behalf to take all actions and to make all decisions
in respect of the issuance, amendment and administration of the Letters of Credit, including requests for the issuance and extension of Letters of Credit and the allocation of the stated amounts of Letters of Credit against the Purchase Price owed
to particular Originators and against the Subordinated Loans owing to particular Originators. In the event that OnX requests a Letter of Credit hereunder, OnX shall on a timely basis provide the Purchaser with such information as is necessary for
the Purchaser to obtain such Letter of Credit from the LC Bank, and shall notify the relevant Originators, the Purchaser and the Administrator of the allocations described in the preceding sentence. Such allocations shall be binding on the
Purchaser and each Originator, absent manifest error.
(c) Each Originator agrees to be bound by the LC Bank’s
interpretations of any Letter of Credit issued for the Purchaser and by the LC Bank’s written regulations and customary practices relating to letters of credit, in each case subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the CBTS Receivables
Financing Agreement.

ARTICLE VII
ADDITIONAL RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
IN RESPECT OF RECEIVABLES
SECTION 7.1 Rights of the Purchaser. Each
Originator hereby authorizes the Purchaser or the Servicer or their respective designees or assignees under the CBTS Receivables Financing Agreement (including, without limitation, the Agent) to take, subject to the terms of the CBTS Receivables
Financing Agreement and any applicable regulatory restrictions, any and all steps in such Originator’s name necessary or desirable, in their respective determination, to collect all amounts due under any and all Receivables sold or otherwise conveyed
or purported to be conveyed by it hereunder, including, without limitation, endorsing the name of such Originator on cheques and other instruments representing Collections and enforcing such Receivables and the provisions of the related Contracts
that concern payment and/or enforcement of rights to payment.
SECTION 7.2 Responsibilities of the Originators.
Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding:
(a) Collection Procedures. Each Originator will instruct all Persons who are its respective Obligors to make payments of Receivables sold or otherwise conveyed or purported to be conveyed by it hereunder directly to a Lock-Box
Account, except in the case of any Payment-on-Delivery Transactions and provided, that, such Originator may permit such Obligor to make On-Site Payments notwithstanding
such instructions. Each Originator further agrees to transfer any Collections of Receivables sold or conveyed by it hereunder, including without limitation, Collections received in connection with any Payment-on-Delivery Transactions and On-Site
Payments, that it receives directly to a Lock-Box Account within three (3) Business Days of receipt thereof, and agrees that all such Collections shall be deemed to be received in trust for the Purchaser and the applicable Agent.
(b) Each Originator shall perform its obligations
hereunder, and the exercise by the Purchaser or its designee of its rights hereunder shall not relieve such Originator from such obligations.
(c) None of the Purchaser, the Servicer, the Lenders, the
Group Agents or the Agent shall have any obligation or liability to any Obligor or any other third Person with respect to any Receivables, Contracts related thereto or any other related agreements, nor shall the Purchaser, the Servicer, the
Lenders, the Group Agents or the Agent be obligated to perform any of the obligations of such Originator thereunder.
23
(d) Each Originator hereby agrees that at any time
following the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default set forth in clause (a)(ii), (f)
or clause (i) of Exhibit V of the CBTS Receivables Financing Agreement, an Agent may direct the Obligors that payment of all amounts payable under any Receivable is to
be made directly to the applicable Agent or its designee. The exercise of this right will be subject to any applicable regulatory restrictions. OnX agrees that, if such Agent is unable to exercise the rights in this clause (d) due to any applicable regulatory restrictions, it will, subject to any applicable regulatory restrictions, follow the instructions of such Agent in connection therewith.
SECTION 7.3 Further Action Evidencing Purchases.
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 the Purchaser, the Servicer, the Agent or any Group Agent may reasonably
request in order to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the Receivables and Related Rights purchased by or contributed, as applicable, to the Purchaser hereunder, or to enable the Purchaser to exercise or enforce any of its rights hereunder or
under any other Transaction Document. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon the request of the Purchaser, the Agent or any Group Agent, such Originator will:
(a) execute (if applicable), authorize
and file such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto or assignments thereof, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary; and
(b) all releases, estoppels and
no-interest letters from any Person who has made a registration or filing against the applicable Originator after the Original Closing Date that could be relied upon to perfect or protect an interest in the Receivables, confirming that such
registration or filing does not perfect or protect an interest in the Receivables and that such Person will not rely on such registration or filing for such purpose.
Each Originator hereby authorizes the Purchaser or its designees (including, without limitation, the Agent) to file one or more financing statements or financing change
statements, applications for registration and assignments thereof, without the consent of such Originator, relative to all or any of the Receivables and Related Rights sold or otherwise conveyed or purported to be conveyed by it hereunder now
existing or hereafter generated, as the case may be, by such Originator. If any Originator fails to perform any of its agreements or obligations under this Agreement, the Purchaser or its designees (including, without limitation, the Agent) may (but
shall not be required to) itself perform, or cause the performance of, such agreement or obligation, and the expenses of the Purchaser or its designee (including, without limitation, the Administrator) incurred in connection therewith shall be
payable by such Originator.
SECTION 7.4 Application of Collections. Any payment
by an Obligor in respect of any indebtedness owed by it to any Originator shall, except as otherwise specified by such Obligor or required by contract or applicable law and unless otherwise instructed by the Servicer (with the prior written consent
of the Administrator) or the Administrator, be applied as a Collection of any Receivable
24
or Receivables of such Obligor to the extent of any amounts then due and payable thereunder before being applied to any other indebtedness of such
Obligor.
SECTION 7.5 Tax Matters. Each Originator shall pay
and remit when due any applicable sales or transfer taxes, including any and all GST/HST, payable or remittable in connection with the transfer of the Receivables generated by such Originator under this Agreement and including GST/HST collectable on
such Originator’s supplies of property and/or services that give rise to the Receivables or are deemed to have been collected by such Originator upon the sale of a Receivable.
ARTICLE VIII
PURCHASE AND SALE TERMINATION EVENTS
SECTION 8.1 Purchase and Sale Termination Events.
Each of the following events or occurrences described in this Section 8.1 shall constitute a “Purchase and
Sale Termination Event” with respect to an Originator:
(a) the Facility Termination Date (as defined in the CBTS
Receivables Financing Agreement) shall have occurred; or
(b) such Originator shall fail to make when due any
payment or deposit to be made by it under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party and such failure shall remain unremedied for two (2) Business Days after the earlier of such Originator’s knowledge or notice thereof;
or
(c) any representation or warranty made or deemed made by
such Originator (or any of its respective officers) under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party, or any information or report delivered by such Originator pursuant to this Agreement or any
other Transaction Document to which it is a party, shall fail to have been true or correct in any material respect when made or deemed made or delivered and such failure shall, solely to the extent capable of cure, continue for thirty (30) days
after the earlier of any such Originator’s knowledge or notice thereof; or
(d) such Originator shall fail to perform or observe any
term, covenant or agreement under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party, and such failure shall, solely to the extent capable of cure, continue for thirty (30) days after the earlier of any such Originator’s
knowledge or notice thereof; or
(e) such Originator shall generally not pay its debts as
such debts become due, shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally, or shall make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or any proceeding shall be instituted by or against such Originator seeking to adjudicate it a
bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking liquidation, winding up, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, protection, relief or composition of it or its debts under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors, or
seeking the entry of an order for relief or the appointment of a Receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official for it or for any substantial part of its property and, in the case of any such proceeding instituted against it (but not
instituted by it), either such proceeding shall remain undismissed or
25
unstayed for a period of ninety (90) days, or any of the actions sought in such proceeding (including the entry of an order for relief against, or the appointment of a
Receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official for, it or for any substantial part of its property) shall occur; or such Originator shall take any corporate action to authorize any of the actions set forth above in this paragraph.
SECTION 8.2 Remedies.
(a) Optional Termination. Upon the occurrence of a Purchase and Sale Termination Event with respect to an Originator (other than the Purchase and Sale Termination Event described in Section 8.1(e) above), the Purchaser shall have the option, by notice to such Originator with the prior consent of, and with a copy to, the Agent, to declare the Purchase and Sale Termination Date to have
occurred with respect to such Originator and the Purchase Facility as terminated with respect to such Originator if it is also an Originator; provided that, automatically
upon the occurrence of any Purchase and Sale Termination Event described in Section 8.1(e) above, the Purchase and Sale Termination Date shall be deemed to have been
declared by the Purchaser with respect to all Originators and the Purchase Facility shall be deemed to be terminated for all Originators that are Originators.
(b) Remedies Cumulative. Upon any termination of the Purchase Facility with respect to an Originator pursuant to Section 8.2(a), the Purchaser shall
have, in addition to all other rights and remedies under this Agreement, all other rights and remedies provided under the PPSA of each applicable jurisdiction and other applicable laws, which rights shall be cumulative.
ARTICLE IX
INDEMNIFICATION
SECTION 9.1 Indemnities by the Originators. Without
limiting any other rights which the Purchaser may have hereunder or under applicable law, each Originator, severally and for itself alone, hereby agrees to indemnify the Purchaser and each of its officers, directors, employees and agents (each of the
foregoing Persons being individually called a “Purchase and Sale Indemnified Party”), forthwith on demand, from and against any and all damages, losses, claims, judgments,
liabilities and related costs and expenses, including reasonable fees of legal counsel and disbursements (all of the foregoing being collectively called “Purchase and Sale Indemnified
Amounts”) awarded against or incurred by any of them to the extent arising out of or as a result of (a) the breach of any representation or warranty made by such Originator herein or in any other Transaction Document to which it is a
party or (b) the failure of such Originator to perform its obligations under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party; excluding, however, (x) Purchase and Sale Indemnified Amounts to the extent a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction holds such Purchase and Sale Indemnified Amounts resulted
from gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Purchase and Sale Indemnified Party, (y) any indemnification which has the effect of recourse for non-payment or uncollectibility of the Receivables due to a discharge in bankruptcy or
similar
26
insolvency proceeding or other credit related reasons with respect to the relevant Obligor and (z) any net income or franchise tax imposed on such
Purchase and Sale Indemnified Party or any other taxes imposed against such Purchase and Sale Indemnified Party to the extent such taxes are measured by or against the gross income or net income or receipts of such Person.
If for any reason the indemnification provided above in this Section 9.1
is unavailable to a Purchase and Sale Indemnified Party or is insufficient to hold such Purchase and Sale Indemnified Party harmless, then each Originator agrees that it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Purchase and Sale
Indemnified Party to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law.
ARTICLE X
MISCELLANEOUS
SECTION 10.1 Amendments, etc.
(a) The provisions of this Agreement may from time to
time be amended, modified or waived, if such amendment, modification or waiver is in writing and executed by the parties hereto, with the prior written consent of the Majority Group Agents.
(b) No failure or delay on the part of the Purchaser, the
Servicer, any Originator or any third party beneficiary in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power or right preclude any other or further exercise thereof
or the exercise of any other power or right. No notice to or demand on the Purchaser, the Servicer or any Originator in any case shall entitle it to any notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. No waiver or approval by the Purchaser or
the Servicer under this Agreement shall, except as may otherwise be stated in such waiver or approval, be applicable to subsequent transactions. No waiver or approval under this Agreement shall require any similar or dissimilar waiver or approval
thereafter to be granted hereunder.
(c) The Transaction Documents contain a final and
complete integration of all prior expressions by the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter thereof and shall constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter thereof, superseding all prior oral
or written understandings.
SECTION 10.2 Notices, etc. All notices and other
communications provided for hereunder shall, unless otherwise stated herein, be in writing (including facsimile communication) and shall be delivered or sent by email, or by overnight mail, to the intended party at the mailing address or email
address set forth under its name on the signature pages hereof or at such other mailing address or email address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other parties hereto or in the case of the Administrator or any Group

receipt confirmed by telephone or electronic means.
27
SECTION 10.3 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. The
remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law. Without limiting the foregoing, each Originator hereby authorizes the Purchaser, at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to
set off, against any obligations of such Originator to the Purchaser arising in connection with the Transaction Documents (including, without limitation, amounts payable pursuant to Section
9.1) that are then due and payable or that are not then due and payable but have accrued, any and all indebtedness at any time owing by the Purchaser to or for the credit or the account of such Originator.
SECTION 10.4 Binding Effect; Assignability. This
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Purchaser and each Originator and their respective successors and permitted assigns. No Originator may assign any of its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior
written consent of the Purchaser, the Agent and each Group Agent, except as otherwise herein specifically provided. This Agreement shall create and constitute the continuing obligations of the parties hereto in accordance with its terms, and shall
remain in full force and effect until such time as the parties hereto shall agree. The rights and remedies with respect to any breach of any representation and warranty made by any Originator pursuant to Article V and the indemnification and payment provisions of Article IX and Section 10.6 shall be continuing and shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE PROVINCE OF ONTARIO AND THE FEDERAL LAWS OF CANADA APPLICABLE THEREIN.
SECTION 10.6 Costs, Expenses and Taxes. In addition
to the obligations of the Originators under Article IX, each Originator, severally and for itself alone, agrees to pay on demand:
(a) to the Purchaser (and any
successor and permitted assigns thereof) all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by such Person in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents; and
(b) all stamp and other taxes and fees
payable in connection with the execution, delivery, filing and recording of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents to be delivered hereunder, and agrees to indemnify each Purchase and Sale Indemnified Party against any liabilities with
respect to or resulting from any delay in paying or omitting to pay such taxes and fees.
SECTION 10.7 SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION. EACH PARTY
HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY (a) SUBMITS AND ATTORNS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY COURT OF THE PROVINCE OF ONTARIO OVER ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY TRANSACTION DOCUMENT; (b) AGREES THAT ALL
28

SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 10.7 SHALL AFFECT THE PURCHASER’S RIGHT TO SERVE LEGAL PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER
PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST ANY ORIGINATOR OR ITS PROPERTY IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTIONS.
SECTION 10.8 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY
HERETO WAIVES, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY RIGHTS UNDER OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT, OR ANY AMENDMENT, INSTRUMENT,
DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT DELIVERED OR WHICH MAY IN THE FUTURE BE DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR ARISING FROM ANY RELATIONSHIP EXISTING IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT, AND AGREES THAT (a) ANY SUCH ACTION OR
PROCEEDING SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY AND (b) ANY PARTY HERETO (OR ANY ASSIGNEE OR THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY OF THIS AGREEMENT) MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF
THE CONSENT OF ANY OTHER PARTY OR PARTIES HERETO TO WAIVER OF ITS OR THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.
SECTION 10.9 Captions and Cross References; Incorporation by
Reference. The various captions (including, without limitation, the table of contents) in this Agreement are included for convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of any provision of this Agreement.
References in this Agreement to any underscored Section or Exhibit are to such Section or Exhibit of this Agreement, as the case may be. The Exhibits hereto are hereby incorporated by reference into and made a part of this Agreement.
SECTION 10.10 Execution in Counterparts. This
Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate 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.
29
SECTION 10.11 Acknowledgment and Agreement. By
execution below, each Originator expressly acknowledges and agrees that all of the Purchaser’s rights, title, and interests in, to, and under this Agreement (but not its obligations), shall be pledged and assigned (by way of security) by the
Purchaser to the Administrator (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) pursuant to the CBTS Receivables Financing Agreement, and each Originator consents to such assignment. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that the Secured
Parties, the Group Agents and the Agent shall be beneficiaries of the rights of the Purchaser arising hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents to which any Originator is a party by virtue of such pledge and assignment. Notwithstanding the
foregoing or anything else to the contrary in this Agreement, none of the Secured Parties, the Group Agents or the Agents shall have any rights, title, or interest in, to, or under this Agreement after the first date following the occurrence of the
Purchase and Sale Termination Date with respect to all Originators when all obligations of each Originator to the Purchaser and its assigns under this Agreement have been satisfied in full (other than those which expressly survive termination of this
Agreement). Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement or any document related hereto, if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of an Originator is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by the
Purchaser or its assigns, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or other similar proceedings or otherwise, such payment shall be treated for all purposes, as though such amounts had not been paid and the determination
as to whether any such payment must be rescinded or restored shall be made by Purchaser (or the Agents, as its assigns) in its sole discretion.
SECTION 10.12 No Proceeding. Each Originator hereby
agrees that it will not institute, or join any other Person in instituting, against the Purchaser any Insolvency Proceeding for at least one year and one day following until the latest of the Final Payout Date under the CBTS Receivables Financing
Agreement. Each Originator further agrees that notwithstanding any provisions contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Purchaser shall not, and shall not be obligated to, pay any amount in respect of any Subordinated Loan or otherwise to
such Originator pursuant to this Agreement unless in accordance with the Subordinated Loan. Any amount which the Purchaser does not pay pursuant to the operation of the preceding sentence shall not constitute a claim against the Purchaser in any
Bankruptcy Proceedings by, or obligation of the Purchaser to, such Originator for any such insufficiency unless and until the provisions of the foregoing sentence are satisfied. The agreements in this Section 10.12 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
SECTION 10.13 Limited Recourse. Except as
explicitly set forth herein, the obligations of the Purchaser under this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents to which it is a party are solely the obligations of the Purchaser. No recourse under any Transaction Document shall be had
against, and no liability shall attach to, any officer, employee, director, or beneficiary, whether directly or
30
indirectly, of the Purchaser. The agreements in this Section 10.13
shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
SECTION 10.14 Amendment and Restatement. This
Agreement amends, restates and supersedes in its entirety the Existing Canadian PSA. Each of the Originators and the Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement and the other documents and instruments delivered in connection herewith do
not (a) constitute a novation of the terms of any purchase of Receivables and Related Rights under the Existing Canadian PSA effected prior to the Closing Date, and that all such purchases and all Receivables and Related Rights Assets which are the
subject matter of such purchases shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Receivables and Related Rights that were the subject matter of a purchase under the Existing Canadian PSA
prior to the Closing Date), (b) constitute a novation, payment or termination of the obligations under the Existing Canadian PSA and (c) that such obligations are in all respects continuing (as amended and restated hereby) with only the terms thereof
being modified. All references, if any, to the Existing Canadian PSA in any of the Transaction Documents (other than this Agreement) and in any other agreements, documents and instruments delivered by any other Person in connection with this
Agreement or any Transaction Document shall mean and be a reference to this Agreement. References in this Agreement to Receivables shall include Receivables purchased under the Existing Canadian PSA as the context may require.
SECTION 10.15 Order of Execution. The Purchaser,
the initial Originator, the Servicer and the Administrator have caused this Agreement to be executed first by the Purchaser, the initial Originator and the Servicer and then by the Administrator outside of Canada, in each case, by their respective
duly authorized officers or representatives as of the Closing Date, and this Agreement shall become a binding agreement among the parties hereto upon the execution by the Administrator of this Agreement outside of Canada.
