RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT

THIS RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT, dated as of December 19, 2012, is by and among Mohawk Carpet Distribution, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Mohawk Distribution”), Dal-Tile Distribution, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Dal-Tile”); each of Mohawk Distribution, Dal-Tile and any other Person that becomes an “Originator” hereunder pursuant to Section 7.9(b) hereof, an “Originator” and collectively the “Originators”), and Mohawk Factoring, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Buyer”).

PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS

Pursuant to the terms of that certain Third Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase and Sale Agreement dated as of September 2, 2009 (as amended, the “Existing Agreement”) by and among the Originators, as sellers, and Mohawk Factoring II, Inc., a Delaware corporation formerly known as Mohawk Factoring, Inc. (the “Previous Buyer”), as buyer, the Originators sold Receivables to Previous Buyer.

Each of the Originators party to this Agreement on the date hereof and the Previous Buyer intended that the past transfers of Receivables under the Existing Agreement be true sales to the Previous Buyer thereunder.

The Buyer is a wholly-owned Subsidiary of Previous Buyer and pursuant to that certain Contribution Agreement effective as of December 1, 2012 (the “Contribution Agreement”), Previous Buyer contributed to Buyer all Receivables of Previous Buyer.

Each of the Originators and the Buyer intend that all transfers of Receivables hereunder, be true sales to the Buyer by such Originator of the Receivables originated by it, providing the Buyer with the full benefits of ownership of such Receivables, and none of the Originators nor the Buyer intends these transactions to be, or for any purpose to be characterized as, loans from the Buyer to such Originator.

Each of the Originators acknowledges that from and after the date hereof, the Buyer intends to finance purchases of Receivables from the Originators, in part, from the proceeds of loans made pursuant to a Credit and Security Agreement of even date herewith (the “Credit and Security Agreement”) among the Buyer, as the borrower, Mohawk Servicing, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as the initial Servicer, the Lenders thereunder, the Co-Agents thereunder and SunTrust Bank, as administrative agent for the Co-Agents and the Lenders (in such capacity, together with its successors, the “Administrative Agent”).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF THE PURCHASE

Section 1.1. Purchase of Receivables.

(a)

In consideration for the Purchase Price paid to each Originator upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, each Originator does hereby sell, assign, transfer, set-over and otherwise convey to the Buyer, without recourse (except to the extent expressly provided herein), and the Buyer does hereby purchase from such Originator all Receivables originated on and after December 1, 2012 by such Originator through and including the Termination Date, together, in each case, with all Related Security relating thereto. In accordance with the preceding sentence, the Buyer shall acquire all of each Originator’s right, title and interest in and to all Receivables arising on and after the date hereof through and including the Termination Date, together with all of such Originator’s rights in and to all Related Security relating thereto. The Buyer shall be obligated to pay the Purchase Price for the Receivables purchased hereunder from each Originator in accordance with Section 1.2. From and after the Termination Date, the Buyer shall not be obligated to purchase Receivables from any Originator.

(b)

On each Monthly Reporting Date, each Originator shall (or shall require the Servicer to) deliver to the Buyer a report in substantially the form of Exhibit IV hereto (each such report being herein called a “Purchase Report”) with respect to the Receivables sold by such Originator to the Buyer during the Calculation Period most recently ended. In addition to, and not in limitation of, the foregoing, in connection with the payment of the Purchase Price for any Receivables purchased hereunder, the Buyer may request that the applicable Originator deliver, and such Originator shall deliver, such approvals, opinions, information or documents as the Buyer may reasonably request.

(c)

It is the intention of the parties hereto that each Purchase of Receivables from an Originator made hereunder shall constitute a sale, which sale is absolute and irrevocable and provides the Buyer with the full benefits of ownership of the Receivables originated by such Originator. Except for the Purchase Price Credits owed to such Originator pursuant to Section 1.3, the sale of Receivables hereunder by each Originator is made without recourse to such Originator; provided, however, that (i) such Originator shall be liable to the Buyer for all representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities made by such Originator pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Documents to which such Originator is a party, and (ii) such sale does not constitute and is not intended to result in an assumption by the Buyer or any assignee thereof of any obligation of such Originator or any other Person arising in connection with the Receivables, the related Contracts and/or other Related Security or any other obligations of such Originator. In view of the intention of the parties hereto that each Purchase of Receivables made hereunder shall constitute a sale of such Receivables rather than loans secured thereby, each Originator agrees that it will, on or prior to the date hereof and in accordance with Section 4.1(e)(ii), make appropriate notation in its computer files relating to the Receivables originated by it with a legend properly evidencing that the Buyer has

-2-

purchased such Receivables as provided in this Agreement and to note in its financial statements that its Receivables have been sold to the Buyer. Upon the request of the Buyer or the Administrative Agent (as the Buyer’s assignee), each Originator will execute and file such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto or assignments thereof, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or appropriate to perfect and maintain the perfection of the Buyer’s ownership interest in the Receivables originated by such Originator and the Related Security with respect thereto, or as the Buyer may reasonably request.

Section 1.2. Payment for the Purchases.

(a)

The Purchase Price for the Purchase from each Originator of its Receivables in existence as of the close of business on the applicable Initial Cutoff Date and not previously assigned or transferred to the Buyer, if any, shall be payable in full by the Buyer to such Originator on the Business Day following such Initial Cutoff Date in immediately available funds.

(b)

The Purchase Price for each Receivable coming into existence after the applicable Initial Cutoff Date shall be due and owing in full by the Buyer to the applicable Originator or its designee in immediately available funds on the date each such Receivable came into existence except that the Buyer may, with respect to any such Purchase Price:

(i)

offset against such Purchase Price any amounts owed by such Originator to the Buyer hereunder and which have become due but remain unpaid; and/or

(ii)

elect to defer payment of all or any portion of the Purchase Price for Receivables originated by such Originator during the same Calculation Period (based on the information contained in the Purchase Report delivered by such Originator for the Calculation Period then most recently ended) until the next succeeding Settlement Date.

Section 1.3. Purchase Price Credit Adjustments. If on any day:

(a)

the Outstanding Balance of a Receivable purchased from any Originator is:

(i)

reduced as a result of any defective or rejected or returned goods or services or any other adjustment (other than to reflect Collections on account of such Receivable) by any Originator or any Affiliate thereof, or as a result of any tariff or other governmental or regulatory charge, or

(ii)

reduced or canceled as a result of a setoff in respect of any claim by any Person (whether such claim arises out of the same or a related or an unrelated transaction), or

-3-

(iii)

reduced by the Servicer on account of the obligation of any Originator or any Affiliate thereof to pay to the related Obligor any rebate or refund, or

(iv)

less than the amount included in calculating the Net Pool Balance for purposes of any Monthly Report (for any reason other than such Receivable becoming a Defaulted Receivable), or

(b)

any of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.1(h), (i), (o), (p) and (q) hereof is not true when made or deemed made with respect to any Receivable,

then, in such event, the Buyer shall be entitled to a credit (each, a “Purchase Price Credit”) against the Purchase Price otherwise payable to the applicable Originator hereunder equal to the Purchase Price paid by the Buyer with respect to such Receivable (less any Collections received on or after the date of purchase to and including the date that the Purchase Price Credit is determined). Each Purchase Price Credit shall be deemed to be a collection of the related Receivable. If such Purchase Price Credit exceeds the Original Balance of the Receivables originated by the applicable Originator on any day, such Originator shall pay the remaining amount of such Purchase Price Credit in cash on or prior to the earlier of (i) the next Settlement Date or (ii) the Termination Date.

Section 1.4. Payments and Computations, Etc. All amounts to be paid or deposited by the Buyer hereunder shall be paid or deposited in accordance with the terms hereof on the day when due in immediately available funds to the account of the applicable Originator designated from time to time by such Originator or as otherwise directed by such Originator. In the event that any payment owed by any Person hereunder becomes due on a day that is not a Business Day, then such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day. If any Person fails to pay any amount hereunder when due, such Person agrees to pay, on demand, interest that accrues at the Default Rate with respect to any amounts then due until paid in full; provided, however, that such Default Rate shall not at any time exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. All computations of interest payable hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days elapsed.

Section 1.5. Transfer of Collection Records; License of Software; Access to Contracts. In connection with, and in consideration of, the Purchase from each Originator of Receivables originated by it, each Originator will deliver to the Buyer or to the Servicer, on behalf of the Buyer, originals or copies (in written, photostatic, electronic or other mutually acceptable form) of such Originator’s Collection Records relating to all Receivables sold by it hereunder. Each Originator shall permit the Servicer and the Buyer (or their respective assigns including, for so long as the Credit and Security Agreement remains in effect, the Administrative Agent) during such Originator’s normal business hours and without undue disruption to the Originator’s operations, at the expense of the Buyer or the Servicer, as applicable (but in no event at the expense of the Administrative Agent), to inspect and copy all such Collection Records and other books and records regarding the Receivables and the Contracts solely for purposes of administering and collecting the Receivables hereunder and under the Servicing Agreement. In order to facilitate such administration, collection and servicing of such Receivables, each

-4-

Originator hereby grants to each of the Buyer, Servicer, and, for so long as the Credit and Security Agreement remains in effect, the Administrative Agent, an irrevocable, non-exclusive license to use, without royalty or payment of any kind, all software used by such Originator to account for such Receivables, to the extent necessary to administer such Receivables, whether such software is owned by such Originator or is owned by others and used by such Originator under license agreements with respect thereto, provided that should the consent of any licensor of such software be required for the grant of the license described herein, to be effective, such Originator hereby agrees that upon the request of the Servicer or the Buyer (or, for so long as the Credit and Security Agreement remains in effect, the Administrative Agent) such Originator will use its reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of such third-party licensor. The license granted hereby shall be irrevocable until the later to occur of (i) the Final Payout Date, and (ii) the date on which this Agreement terminates in accordance with its terms.

Section 1.6. Characterization. If, notwithstanding the intention of the parties expressed in Section 1.1(c), any sale by an Originator to the Buyer of Receivables hereunder shall be characterized as a secured loan and not a sale or such sale shall for any reason be ineffective or unenforceable, then this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a security agreement under the UCC and other applicable law. For this purpose and without being in derogation of the parties’ intention that the sale of Receivables by each Originator hereunder shall constitute a true sale thereof, such Originator hereby grants to the Buyer a duly perfected security interest in all of such Originator’s right, title and interest in and to all Receivables of such Originator which exist on the date hereof or arise thereafter through and including the Termination Date, together with all Related Security with respect thereto, all other rights and payments relating to such Receivables and all proceeds of the foregoing, to secure the prompt and complete payment of a loan deemed to have been made in an amount equal to the Purchase Price of the Receivables purchased from such Originator together with any Purchase Interest applicable thereto and all other obligations of such Originator hereunder, which security interest shall be prior to all other Adverse Claims thereto. Upon the occurrence of a Termination Event, the Buyer shall have, in addition to the rights and remedies which it may have under this Agreement, all other rights and remedies provided to a secured creditor upon default under the UCC and other applicable law, which rights and remedies shall be cumulative.

ARTICLE II

Section 2.1. Representations and Warranties of Originators. Each Originator (solely with respect to itself) hereby represents and warrants to the Buyer on the date of the Purchase from such Originator hereunder and, except for representations and warranties that are limited to a certain date, on each date that any Receivable is originated by such Originator on or after the date of such Purchase through and including the Termination Date, that:

(a) Existence and Power. Such Originator (a) is duly organized or formed, validly existing and, as applicable, in good standing or the equivalent thereof (to the extent applicable) under the Laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation, organization or formation, (b) has all requisite power and authority and all requisite governmental

-5-

licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals to (i) own or lease its assets and carry on its business and (ii) execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, and (c) is duly qualified and is licensed and, as applicable, in good standing or the equivalent thereof (to the extent applicable) under the Laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or operation of properties or the conduct of its business requires such qualification or license; except in each case referred to in clause (b)(i) or (c), to the extent that failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Authorization, No Contravention. The execution, delivery and performance by such Originator of each Transaction Document to which such Originator is party, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other organizational action, and do not and will not (a) contravene the terms of any of such Originator’s organization documents; (b) conflict with or result in any breach or contravention of, or the creation of any Adverse Claim under (i) any material provision of any security issued by such Originator or of any agreement, instrument or other written undertaking to which such Originator is a party or by which it or any of its property is bound (except as created hereunder) or (ii) any order, injunction, writ or decree of any Governmental Authority or any arbitral award to which such Originator or its property is subject; or (c) violate any Law.

(c) Governmental Authorization; Other Consent. No approval, consent, exemption, authorization, or other action by, or notice to, or filing with, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is necessary or required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by such Originator of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party (other than such notices or filings required hereunder or thereunder).

(d) Binding Effect. This Agreement has been, and each other Transaction Document to which such Originator is a party, when delivered hereunder, will have been, duly executed and delivered by such Originator. This Agreement constitutes, and each other Transaction Document to which such Originator is a party when so delivered will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Originator, enforceable against such Originator in accordance with its terms; provided that the enforceability hereof and thereof is subject in each case to general principles of equity and to bankruptcy, insolvency and similar Laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally.

(e) Accuracy of Information; No Material Adverse Effect. No report, financial statement, certificate or other written information furnished by or on behalf of such Originator or any of its Affiliates to the Buyer or its assigns (including the Administrative Agent) in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and the negotiation of this Agreement or delivered hereunder or under any other Transaction Document to which such Originator is a party (other than information of a general economic or general industry nature), as and when furnished and taken as a whole with all such reports, financial statements, certificates and other information previously furnished, contained any material misstatement of fact or omitted to state any material fact necessary to make

-6-

the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that, with respect to projections, such Originator makes only those representations set forth in the last sentence of this Section. Since September 30, 2012, there has been no event or circumstance (including, without limitation, any casualty event), either individually or in the aggregate, that has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Any projections delivered by such Originator or any of its Affiliates to the Buyer or its assigns (including the Administrative Agent) have been prepared in light of the past operations of the businesses of such Originator or Affiliate, as applicable and are based upon estimates and assumptions stated therein, all of which such Originator or Affiliate, as applicable has determined to be reasonable in light of then current conditions and current facts and reflect the good faith and reasonable estimates of such Originator or Affiliate, as applicable of the future financial performance of such Originator or Affiliate, as applicable of the other information projected therein for the periods set forth therein (it being understood that actual results may differ from those set forth in such projections).

(f) Litigation. There are no actions, suits, proceedings, claims or disputes pending or, to the knowledge of such Originator overtly threatened in writing, at law, in equity, in arbitration or before any Governmental Authority, by or against such Originator or against any of its properties or revenues that (a) purport to affect or pertain to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which such Originator is a party, or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, or (b) could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(g) No Termination Event. No Termination Event has occurred and is continuing or would result from the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which such Originator is a party.

(h) Good Title. Such Originator is the legal and beneficial owner of the Receivables sold by such Originator and Related Security with respect thereto, free and clear of any Adverse Claim, except as created hereby.

(i) Perfection. This Agreement is effective to create a valid ownership interest of the Buyer in the Receivables sold by such Originator hereunder and Related Security with respect thereto, free and clear of any Adverse Claim except as created by the Transaction Documents. There have been duly filed all financing statements or other similar instruments or documents necessary under the UCC of all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect the Buyer’s ownership interest in such Receivables and the Related Security to the extent such interest can be perfected by filing a financing statement under the UCC.

(j) Collections. Such Originator has directed all Obligors on the Receivables originated by it existing on or after the applicable Initial Cutoff Date to make payments thereon directly to a Collection Account or Lock Box of the Buyer listed on Exhibit IV to the Credit and Security Agreement as the same may be amended from time to time.

-7-

(k) Margin Regulations; Use of Proceeds; Investment Company Act. Such Originator is not engaged or will not engage, principally or as one of its important activities, in the business of purchasing or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of Regulation U issued by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), or extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock. Such Originator is not an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or any successor statute.

(l) Compliance with Law. Such Originator is in compliance with the requirements of all Laws applicable to it or its properties, except in such instances in which (i) such requirement of Law is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted or (ii) the failure to comply therewith, either individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Receivable reflected in any Purchase Report as an Eligible Receivable, together with the Invoice related thereto, does not violate any Laws applicable thereto (including, without limitation, Laws relating to truth in lending, fair credit billing, fair credit reporting, equal credit opportunity, fair debt collection practices and privacy), except where such violation is not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(m) Names. Places of Business and Locations of Collection Records. Since the later of (i) such Originator’s date of formation and (ii) the past five (5) years ended on the date of this Agreement, such Originator has not used any corporate names, trade names or assumed names other than the name in which it has executed this Agreement. The principal places of business and chief executive office of such Originator and the offices where it keeps all of its Collection Records are located at the address(es) listed on Exhibit II hereto or such other locations of which the Buyer has been notified in accordance with Section 4.2(a) in jurisdictions where all action required by Section 7.3(a) has been taken and completed. Such Originator’s Federal Employer Identification Number is correctly set forth on Exhibit II hereto.

(n) Compliance with Credit and Collection Policy. Such Originator has complied in all material respects with the Credit and Collection Policy with regard to each Receivable originated by it and the related Contract, and since the Initial Cutoff Date has not made or consented to any material change to such Credit and Collection Policy, except such material change as to which the Buyer has been notified and has consented, as required, in accordance with Section 4.1(b)(iv).

(o) Payments to Applicable Originator. With respect to each Receivable transferred by such Originator to Buyer under this Agreement, Buyer has given reasonably equivalent value to such Originator in consideration therefor and such transfer was not made for or on account of an antecedent debt.

(p) Enforceability of Receivables. Each Receivable sold by such Originator to the Buyer hereunder represents a legal, valid and binding obligation of the related Obligor to pay the Outstanding Balance thereof and any accrued interest or other Finance

-8-

Charges thereon, enforceable against the Obligor in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).

(q) Eligible Receivables. Each Receivable originated by such Originator and sold to the Buyer hereunder reflected in any Purchase Report as an Eligible Receivable was an Eligible Receivable on the date of its acquisition by the Buyer hereunder.

(r) Accounting. The manner in which such Originator accounts for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement does not jeopardize the true sale analysis with respect to transfers by such Originator to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement.

(s) Solvency. Such Originator and its Subsidiaries (taken as a whole) are Solvent.

(t) Taxes. There is no proposed tax assessment against any Originator that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(u) OFAC. Neither Originator nor (to the knowledge of such Originator) any Affiliate of such Originator: (a) is a Sanctioned Person, (b) has any of its assets in Sanctioned Entities, or (c) derives any of its operating income from investments in, or transactions with Sanctioned Persons or Sanctioned Entities, in each case, that would constitute a violation of applicable Laws. The proceeds of any Advance will not be used and have not been used to fund any operations in, finance any investments or activities in, or make any payments to, a Sanctioned Person or a Sanctioned Entity, in each case, that would constitute a violation of applicable Laws.

“Discount Factor” means a percentage calculated to provide the Buyer with a reasonable return on its investment in the Receivables originated by each Originator after taking account of (i) the time value of money based upon the anticipated dates of collection of such Receivables and the cost to the Buyer of financing its investment in such Receivables during such period and (ii) the risk of nonpayment by the Obligors. Each Originator and the Buyer may agree from time to time to change the Discount Factor based on changes in one or more of the items affecting the calculation thereof, provided that any change to the Discount Factor shall take effect as of the commencement of a Calculation Period, shall apply only prospectively and shall not affect the Purchase Price payment made prior to such Calculation Period during which such Originator and the Buyer agree to make such change.

“Excluded Receivable” means a Receivable for which the Obligor is an Obligor designated in writing by an Originator to Buyer and approved in writing by the Administrative Agent and the Co-Agents with respect to Receivables owing by such Obligor that arises on or after the date specified in such written approval of such designation.

accounting system with code “C”, “D”, “S”, “1” or any other code identified as such in writing by the Originator to the Buyer (and, as long as the Credit and Security Agreement remains in effect, the Administrative Agent as the Buyer’s assignee), or which directs that payment be made to a Person other than the Buyer.

“Initial Cutoff Date” means, as to each Originator, the close of business on the Business Day immediately prior to the date on which such Originator became a party to this Agreement.

“Material Adverse Effect” means a material adverse effect on (i) the financial condition of Parent and its Subsidiaries, considered as a whole, (ii) the ability of any Originator to perform its material obligations under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which such Originator is a party, (iii) the legality, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which such Originator is a party, (iv) any Originator’s, the Buyer’s, any Agent’s or any Lender’s interest in the Receivables generally or in any significant portion of the Receivables or the Related Security with respect thereto, or (v) the collectability of the Receivables generally or of any significant portion of the Receivables.

“Mohawk Distribution” has the meaning set forth in the preamble to the Agreement.

“Original Balance” means, with respect to any Receivable coming into existence after the applicable Initial Cutoff Date, the Outstanding Balance of such Receivable on the date it was created.

“Originator” has the meaning set forth in the preamble to the Agreement.

“Parent” means Mohawk Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its successors.

“Purchase” means the purchase by the Buyer from an Originator pursuant to Section 1.1(a) of the Agreement of the Receivables originated by such Originator and the Related Security related thereto, together with all related rights in connection therewith.

“Purchase Price” means, with respect to the Purchase from each Originator, the aggregate price to be paid by the Buyer to such Originator for such Purchase in accordance with Section 1.2 of the Agreement for the Receivables originated by such Originator and the associated Related Security being sold to the Buyer, which price shall equal on any date (i) the product of (x) the Outstanding Balance of such Receivables on such date, multiplied by (y) one minus the Discount Factor in effect on such date, minus (ii) any Purchase Price Credits to be credited against the Purchase Price otherwise payable in accordance with Section 1.3 of the Agreement.

“Purchase Price Credit” has the meaning set forth in Section 1.3 of the Agreement.

“Purchase Report” has the meaning set forth in Section 1.1(b) of the Agreement.

“Receivable” means an account receivable (including all rights to payment created by or arising from the sale of goods, lease of goods or the rendition of services, no matter how evidenced (including in the form of a chattel paper or an instrument)) owed to any Originator at the time it arises and before giving effect to any transfer or conveyance under this Agreement; provided, however, in no event shall the term “Receivable” include any Factored Receivable or any Excluded Receivable.

“Termination Date” means the earliest to occur of (i) the date on which the Buyer is unable to pay the Purchase Price for any Receivable in accordance with Section 1.2, (ii) the Business Day immediately prior to the occurrence of a Termination Event set forth in Section 5.1(e), (iii) the Business Day specified in a written notice from the Buyer (or, at any time the Credit and Security Agreement remains in effect, the Administrative Agent as the Buyer’s assignee) to the Originators following the occurrence of any other Termination Event, (iv) the date which is 5 Business Days after the Buyer’s receipt of written notice from any Originator that it wishes to terminate sales under this Agreement, and (v) the date which is 5 Business Days after each Originator receives written notice that the Buyer wishes to terminate purchases under this Agreement.

“Termination Event” has the meaning set forth in Section 5.1 of the Agreement.

“Unmatured Termination Event” means an event which, with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a Termination Event.
