Each Seller desires to sell certain of its Receivables from time to time, and Buyer desires to purchase from such Seller certain of such Receivables on the terms set forth herein.

Accordingly, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Sale and Purchase.

(a) Sale. Any Seller (or the Seller Representative for such Seller) from time to time during the period commencing on the date hereof and terminating on the Purchase Termination Date may Post an Offer on the Platform, which Posting shall constitute an offer by such Seller to Buyer to purchase the Proposed Receivables set forth in the Offer. Buyer, in its sole discretion, may elect to accept an Offer (an “Acceptance”) on any Business Day within three (3) Business Days following such Offer by paying the Purchase Price, denominated in Dollars and paid to the Collection Account in immediately available funds. Upon Buyer’s Acceptance, subject to satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 1(b) hereto, Buyer shall and hereby does purchase, and such Seller shall and hereby does sell, all of such Seller’s right, title and interest (but none of Seller’s underlying obligations to the applicable Account Debtor) with respect to such Proposed Receivables as of the Purchase Date (all such Proposed Receivables, once sold and purchased hereunder and, together with all Related Security, Collections and proceeds with respect thereto, collectively the “Purchased Receivables”). Under no circumstances shall Buyer purchase Proposed Receivables to the extent that such purchase would result in (i) the Outstanding Purchase Price exceeding the Maximum Outstanding Purchase Price, (ii) the Outstanding Purchase Price for all Tranche A Receivables exceeding the Tranche A Maximum Outstanding Purchase Price, (iii) the Outstanding Purchase Price for all Tranche B Receivables exceeding the Tranche B Maximum Outstanding Purchase Price, or (iv) the Outstanding Purchase Price with respect to any Account Debtor exceeding such Account Debtor’s Purchase Sublimit (unless otherwise agreed or accepted by the Buyer).

(b) Conditions Precedent. Buyer’s acceptance of each Offer and obligation to purchase any Proposed Receivables shall be conditioned on the satisfaction (or waiver by Buyer) of the following conditions precedent:

(i) Such Seller’s representations and warranties made herein and in the other Transaction Documents with respect to the Proposed Receivables (including the Receivables Information) are true and accurate in all material respects, and all other of such Seller’s representations and warranties (other than those set forth in clauses (i) and (k) of Exhibit C) are true and accurate in all material respects (except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they shall be true and accurate in all material respects as of such earlier date);

(ii) Such Seller is in compliance in all material respects with all of its covenants made herein and in the other Transaction Documents;

(iii) No Event of Repurchase exists on such Purchase Date, unless such Seller has repurchased and paid (or is paying on such proposed Purchase Date) the full amount of the Repurchase Price (or the amount subject to Dispute, to the extent provided pursuant to Section 7 hereto) for the affected Purchased Receivables pursuant to the terms of Section 7 hereto or such repurchase or other payment has been effectuated on such proposed Purchase Date by payment in cash or by setoff by Buyer against the Purchase Price for the Proposed Receivables;

(iv) Following the sale and purchase of the Proposed Receivables set forth in the related Offer, (A) the Outstanding Purchase Price will not exceed the Maximum Outstanding Purchase Price, (B) the Outstanding Purchase Price for all Tranche A Receivables will not exceed the Tranche A Maximum Outstanding Purchase Price, (C) the Outstanding Purchase Price for all Tranche B Receivables will not exceed the Tranche B Maximum Outstanding Purchase Price and (D) the Outstanding Purchase Price with respect to the Purchased Receivables payable by any Account Debtor will not exceed such Account Debtor’s Purchase Sublimit (unless otherwise agreed or accepted by the Buyer);

(v) In the case of the Initial Purchase Date, the other conditions precedent set forth on Exhibit B shall have been satisfied or waived in writing by the Buyer;

(vi) Seller shall have instructed each applicable Account Debtor to make any and all payments in respect of the Proposed Receivables directly to the Collection Account;

(vii) With respect to any Offer made on or after the DACA Date, Buyer shall have a perfected security interest in the Collection Account;

(viii) There shall not have been any Event of Termination with respect to any Seller Party since the date of the last purchase hereunder;

(ix) The Letter of Credit shall be in full force and effect and the L/C Issuer shall not have rejected any claim thereunder that is made in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Letter of Credit; and

(x) The Credit Insurance Policy shall be in full force and effect and the Credit Insurance Provider shall not have rejected any claim thereunder that is made in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Credit Insurance Policy.

(c) Purchase Price. The purchase price for Purchased Receivables purchased on any Purchase Date (the “Purchase Price”) shall be calculated on the Platform and Posted with each Offer, and shall equal (i) the aggregate Net Invoice Amount of such Purchased Receivables (the “Aggregate Net Invoice Amount”) minus (ii) the Discount Margin. Buyer shall pay the Purchase Price, denominated in Dollars, to the Collection Account in immediately available funds on the applicable Purchase Date for distribution by the Servicer to the applicable Sellers. On each Purchase Date, Buyer shall cause the Platform to send by email a notice of payment of Purchase Price to the Seller Representative and the applicable Seller or such notice shall be available on the Platform. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the purchase and sale of Proposed Receivables shall be and be deemed to be automatically effective and enforceable immediately upon payment by the Buyer of the Purchase Price and, upon receipt of the Purchase Price in the Collection Account, the Seller and Seller Representative, as applicable, shall hereby accept and shall have been deemed to have automatically accepted such purchase and sale without any further action or notice to or from any other Person.

(d) Limited Recourse. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 1(d), Section 5 and Section 7 hereto (and the other indemnity and expense reimbursement provisions expressly contained herein), each purchase of the Purchased Receivables is made without recourse to the applicable Seller and such Seller shall have no liability to Buyer for any Account Debtor’s failure to pay any Purchased Receivable when it is due and payable under the terms applicable thereto. Subject to the limited recourse described below and herein, Buyer agrees that it shall assume the risk of the non-payment of any Purchased Receivable to the extent it is the result of an Insolvency Event of the applicable Account Debtor (subject to the Sellers’ responsibility for the payment of any Loss Recourse Amount in accordance with this Agreement), such assumption of credit risk being effective as of the Purchase Date for such Purchased Receivables. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall have full and unconditional recourse to each Seller (on a joint and several basis) on account of:

(i) Any Loss Recourse Amount in accordance with this Agreement;

(ii) Receivables offered for sale which would cause the outstanding amount of Purchased Receivables for an Account Debtor to exceed the related Account Debtor Purchase Sublimit (unless otherwise agreed or accepted by the Buyer) or would exceed the amount of the coverage for such Account Debtor under the Credit Insurance Policy (but only to the extent of such excess);

(iii) Either (x) non-payment by the Credit Insurance Provider for any claims under the Credit Insurance Policy or (y) non-payment by the L/C Issuer for any claims

under the Letter of Credit, in each case, as a result of the acts or omissions of any Seller, including inaccurate reporting pursuant to clause (f)(viii) of Exhibit D, provided by the Seller Representative; and

(iv) Failure to provide reasonable assistance to the Buyer in filing claims in a timely manner under the Credit Insurance Policy or the Letter of Credit.

(e) True Sale. Buyer and each Seller have structured the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as a sale and intend the transfer and conveyance of Purchased Receivables hereunder to be absolute and irrevocable “true sales” by Seller to Buyer, that provide Buyer with the full benefits and risks of ownership of the Purchased Receivables. Neither any Seller nor Buyer intends the transactions contemplated hereunder to be, or for any purpose to be characterized as, loans from Buyer to Seller, and Buyer and Sellers each agree to treat each such transaction as a true sale for all purposes under applicable law and accounting principles, including, without limitation, in their respective books, records, computer files, tax returns (federal, state and local), regulatory and governmental filings (and shall reflect such sale in their respective financial statements). Each Seller will advise all persons inquiring about the ownership of the Receivables that all Purchased Receivables have been sold to Buyer. In the event that, contrary to the mutual intent of the parties, any purchase of Purchased Receivables is not characterized as a sale, each Seller shall, effective as of the date hereof, be deemed to have granted to Buyer (and such Seller hereby does grant to Buyer), a first priority security interest in and to (under New York law) any and all present and future Purchased Receivables and Related Security sold or purported to be sold by such Seller and the proceeds thereof to secure the repayment on demand of all amounts paid to such Seller hereunder and all other obligations of such Seller hereunder, in each case, with accrued interest thereon at the Discount Rate, and this Agreement shall be deemed to be a security agreement. With respect to such grant of a security interest, Buyer may at its option exercise from time to time any and all rights and remedies available to it hereunder, under the UCC or any similar law or otherwise. If such a recharacterization shall occur, then each Seller agrees that ten (10) Business Days shall be reasonable prior notice to such Seller of the date of any public or private sale or other disposition of all or any of the Receivables by the Buyer following the occurrence of the Purchase Termination Date in accordance with clause (a) of the definition thereof. Each Seller hereby authorizes Buyer to file any UCC-1 financing statements or similar filings under each applicable jurisdiction necessary to perfect the ownership interests and security interests granted by such Seller to Buyer under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents.

(f) Authorization to Collect Receivables, Etc. (i) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Seller Party hereby agrees that Buyer shall have all rights as holder and owner in respect of the Purchased Receivables, including the right to exercise any and all of its rights, powers, privileges and remedies hereunder, under applicable law (including the UCC or any similar law) or at equity to collect any Purchased Receivables directly from the applicable Account Debtor; provided, however, that (x) until a Servicer Event Change has occurred and is continuing, (y) until a late payment has occurred with respect to a Purchased Receivable and remains unpaid for more than five (5) Business Days following the Expected Due Date therefor (and such late payment has not been determined to be the result of a Repurchase Event for which the Seller has paid or is required to pay the related Repurchase Price, and has not otherwise caused a Repurchase Event to then be in effect with respect to such Purchased Receivable) or (z)

unless such notification is required to perfect the security or ownership interest of the Buyer under the law of any applicable jurisdiction, the Buyer shall not have the right to collect any Purchased Receivables directly from the applicable Account Debtor, change payment instructions or notify any Account Debtor that Seller has sold the applicable Purchased Receivables to Buyer hereunder; it being understood that following any of the events described in clauses (x), (y) or (z), above, the Buyer may (i) notify the applicable Account Debtor that the Seller has sold the applicable Purchased Receivables to the Buyer hereunder and (ii) direct such Account Debtor to make payments with respect to such Purchased Receivable directly to the Buyer’s Account (or as otherwise directed by the Buyer at such time).

(ii) In addition, the Servicer will, upon the Buyer’s request, exercise commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Buyer in any of its efforts to enforce or collect upon the Purchased Receivables including, without limitation, providing the Buyer with contact information for the related Account Debtors and making introductions between the Buyer and such Account Debtors, as so requested by Buyer from time to time. At the expense of the Sellers, each party shall, upon request of the other party (or such first party may, in its sole discretion), take all action and obtain all appropriate Account Debtor acknowledgements as may be necessary or desirable to more fully perfect, protect and evidence the Buyer’s interest in the Purchased Receivables hereunder under the laws of applicable jurisdictions.

(g) Rights of Buyer in Purchased Receivables. As owner of the Purchased Receivables, Buyer shall have no obligation to account for, to replace, to substitute or to return any Purchased Receivables or Collections thereon to any Seller other than Purchased Receivables for which the Repurchase Price has been paid to the Buyer in accordance with the terms hereof. Without limiting the foregoing, Buyer shall have the sole right to retain any gains or profits created by buying, selling or holding the Purchased Receivables. Subject to the express terms of this Agreement, Buyer shall have the unrestricted right to further assign, transfer, deliver, hypothecate, subdivide or otherwise deal with the Purchased Receivables and Collections thereon on whatever terms Buyer shall determine other than Purchased Receivables for which the Repurchase Price has been paid to the Buyer in accordance with the terms hereof.

(h) Seller Representative. Each Seller hereby irrevocably appoints AAR and AAR agrees to act under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, as the agent and representative of each Seller for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, including offering Receivables for purchase by the Buyer (through Requests or as otherwise agreed between Seller Representative and Buyer), receiving statements and other notices and communications to each such Seller from Buyer, service of process as described in Section 11 hereof, and delivering statements and other notices and communications from such Seller to Buyer. Buyer may rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, on any offers to purchase Receivables (through Requests or as otherwise agreed), disbursement instructions, reports, information, or any other notice or communication made or given by Seller Representative, whether in its own name, or on behalf of any Seller.

(i) Unavailability of the Platform. In the event that Buyer determines that the Platform is unavailable for Postings for any reason, the Sellers may continue to offer Proposed Receivables for purchase by Buyer pursuant to the supplemental terms set forth on Exhibit G

hereto. Except as expressly provided in Exhibit G, this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the terms and conditions set forth herein and therein shall be equally applicable to sales and purchases of Receivables utilizing the supplemental terms set forth in Exhibit G and not fully utilizing the Platform in the manner otherwise contemplated herein.

2. Representations and Warranties. Each Seller Party represents and warrants to Buyer on each Purchase Date that the representations and warranties set forth on Exhibit C hereto (other than, for any Purchase Date after the Initial Purchase Date, those set forth in clauses (i) and (k) thereof) and made by such Person are true and correct in all material respects as of such 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).

3. Covenants. Each Seller Party agrees to perform the covenants set forth on Exhibit D hereto.

4. Collection Activities.

(a) Buyer appoints AAR as its servicer and agent (in such capacity, the “Servicer”) for the administration and servicing of all Purchased Receivables sold to Buyer hereunder, and AAR hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to assume the duties and the administration and servicing obligations as Servicer, and perform all necessary and appropriate commercial collection activities in arranging the timely payment of amounts due and owing by any Account Debtor, all in accordance with applicable laws, rules and regulations, with reasonable care and diligence, including, without limitation, diligently and faithfully performing all servicing and collection actions (including, if necessary, acting as party of record in foreign jurisdictions); provided, however, that such appointment as Servicer shall not release any Seller from any of its duties, responsibilities, liabilities and obligations resulting from or arising hereunder. Buyer may replace the Servicer in the manner set forth in Section 4(e) hereto. In connection with its servicing obligations, Servicer will, and will ensure that each Seller will, perform their respective obligations and exercise their respective rights under contracts related to the Purchased Receivables with the same care and applying the same policies as they apply to their own Receivables generally and would exercise and apply if they owned the Purchased Receivables and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maximize Collections.

(b) Servicer has established the Collection Account to receive amounts owing under the Purchased Receivables and covenants to maintain such account so long as any Purchased Receivable remains unpaid unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Buyer. The Collection Account may contain funds relating to Receivables in addition to the amounts owing under the Purchased Receivables, provided that adequate records are created and maintained to identify clearly the funds in the Collection Account that relate to the Purchased Receivables. The parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate and enter into an account control agreement covering the existing Collection Account in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Buyer on or prior to the DACA Date. If such account control agreement has not been entered into by such date, and neither the Seller Representative nor the Buyer shall have elected to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the second sentence of Section 12(c), then the Servicer shall establish a new bank account with an account bank reasonably acceptable to the

Buyer (such new account shall replace the prior Collection Account as the new “Collection Account” hereunder and from and after that date for all purposes hereof), and within five (5) Business Days following the establishment of such account, all Account Debtors shall have been instructed by the Servicer to make all payments in respect of Purchased Receivables to such new Collection Account and such new Collection Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Buyer pursuant to an account control agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Buyer. Servicer covenants and agrees (i) to take any and all reasonable actions necessary, consistent with applicable law, (including those requested by Buyer) to ensure that all Collections on account of the Purchased Receivables will be paid directly by each Account Debtor to the Collection Account, without adjustment, setoff or deduction of any kind or nature, except as otherwise required by law, (ii) not to change the payment instructions while any Purchased Receivable remains outstanding, (iii) to the extent any Collections or other amounts with respect to the Purchased Receivables are deposited in any account other than the Collection Account, to cause all such amounts to be deposited into the Collection Account within three (3) Business Days of receipt thereof by the Servicer or such Seller, and (iv) not to permit the Collection Account to become subject to any control, lien, pledge or adverse claim of or by any third party (other than any lien of the Buyer granted hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents). All Collections received or deposited into any Collection Account shall be transferred, delivered to or deposited in the Buyer’s Account by the Servicer within five (5) Business Days of receipt.

(c) Until payments in respect of the Purchased Receivables have been remitted to the Collection Account, Seller and Servicer will hold such funds in trust as Buyer’s exclusive property and safeguard such funds for the benefit of Buyer.

(d) Pursuant to its servicing obligations under Section 4(a) hereto, Servicer shall be responsible for identifying, matching and reconciling all payments received by the Servicer or any Seller in respect of the Purchased Receivables (as distinguished from any Receivables of a Seller not sold to the Buyer hereunder) associated with such payment and Posting all identification and reconciliation information for confirmation by Buyer in a format satisfactory to Buyer promptly, and in any event within five (5) Business Days of receipt thereof. Servicer shall cause all such payments to be directed and deposited into the Collection Account within the time and in the manner set forth in this Section 4. If any payment is received from an Account Debtor, and such payment is not identified by such Account Debtor as relating to a particular Receivable and cannot otherwise be reasonably identified as relating to a particular Receivable within five (5) Business Days of receipt thereof, such payment shall be applied first to the unpaid Purchased Receivables with respect to such Account Debtor in chronological order (beginning with the oldest unpaid Purchased Receivable), and then to Receivables with respect to such Account Debtor that are not Purchased Receivables, also in chronological order. Servicer and each Seller hereby represent, warrant and agree that no Collection Account is or shall ever be subject to the control, lien pledge or any other encumbrance in favor of any buyer from or creditor of any Seller, other than customary bankers’ liens of account banks arising under Article 4 of the UCC and the security interest granted to the Buyer hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents, unless the Buyer has consented thereto in writing and pursuant to an intercreditor or lien priority agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Buyer.

(e) Upon the occurrence of any Servicer Event Change, the Buyer may at any time thereafter (with notice to each Seller Party) replace the Servicer (which replacement may be made through the outplacement to a Person of all back office duties, including billing, collection and processing responsibilities, and reasonable access during normal business hours and subject to reasonable confidentiality restrictions, to all personnel, hardware and software utilized in connection with such responsibilities) with any other Person, as agent of Buyer, acceptable to the Buyer in its sole discretion at such time. Each Seller shall jointly and severally reimburse Buyer for all reasonable expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with such replacement. In the event that Servicer is replaced, Servicer (and each other Seller who may be acting as sub-servicer or sub-agent for Servicer in such capacity with respect to any Purchased Receivables) shall cease its activities as Servicer in a manner that Buyer determines and shall cooperate fully and facilitate the transition of the performance of such activities to any successor servicer who may be appointed by Buyer at such time (including the Buyer), and Buyer (or its designee as successor servicer) may assume the role as Servicer, to service and administer the Purchased Receivables, on the terms and subject to the conditions herein set forth or as may otherwise be agreed in writing between Buyer and such successor servicer. Thereafter, the replaced Servicer shall take such action or refrain from taking such action as Buyer may specify in order to assist Buyer (or its designee as successor servicer) in assuming and performing such obligations. Servicer and each Seller agrees, at its expense, to take all actions necessary to provide the successor servicer with access, whether or not at the offices and properties of Servicer or such Seller to all computer software (including its servicing software and its claims software), necessary or useful in collecting, billing or maintaining the records with respect to the Purchased Receivables.

(f) Without duplication of any amounts recovered by any Servicer Indemnified Person pursuant to Section 7(b), Servicer hereby agrees to indemnify Buyer and its officers, directors, agents, representatives and employees (each, a “Servicer Indemnified Person”) from and against any and all claims, losses and liabilities (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) (all of the foregoing being collectively referred to as “Servicer Indemnified Amounts”) arising out of or resulting from (i) any failure by Servicer to perform its duties or obligations as Servicer hereunder in accordance with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, (ii) any claim brought by any Person other than a Servicer Indemnified Person arising from Servicer’s collection activities with respect to the Purchased Receivables or (iii) any other Material Adverse Change under clause (b) or (c) of the definition thereof; provided, however, that in all events there shall be excluded from the foregoing indemnification any claims, losses or liabilities to the extent resulting solely from the fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Servicer Indemnified Person (or any of its officers, directors, agents, representatives and employees who are controlled by, or under common control with, such Servicer Indemnified Person) as determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. If at any time the Servicer delegates any of its servicing duties hereunder to one or more of the other Sellers, Servicer shall continue to remain fully responsible and liable for the performance of such duties. No Seller shall delegate or assign any of its duties to a sub-servicer or sub-agent, other than another Seller or AAR or any of its affiliates, without prior written consent of Buyer in its sole discretion.

(g) Each Seller hereby appoints Buyer and Servicer (if other than such Seller) as the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of such Seller, with full power of substitution, coupled with an interest, and hereby authorizes and empowers Buyer in the name and on behalf of such

Seller, to take such actions, and execute and deliver such documents, as Buyer deems necessary or advisable in connection with any Purchased Receivable (i) to obtain full benefits of the Transaction Documents and the Purchased Receivables, (ii) to perfect the purchase and sale of Purchased Receivables, including, without limitation, to send a notice of such purchase and sale to the Account Debtor of the transfers contemplated hereby and the sale of the Purchased Receivables, or (iii) to make collection of and otherwise realize the benefits of any Purchased Receivable. At any time Servicer has been replaced hereunder, Buyer shall have the right to bring suit, in Buyer’s or any Seller’s name, and generally have all other rights of an owner and holder respecting any Purchased Receivables, including without limitation the right to accelerate or extend the time of payment, settle, compromise, release in whole or in part any amounts owing on any Purchased Receivables and issue credits in its own name or the name of any Seller. At any time following removal of Servicer hereunder, Buyer may endorse or sign Buyer’s or such Seller’s name on any checks or other instruments with respect to any Purchased Receivables or the goods covered thereby. Except as Buyer may otherwise expressly agree in writing, any and all returned, reclaimed or repossessed inventory and goods relating to any Purchased Receivables shall be set aside by the applicable Seller marked with Buyer’s name and (in any case) held by such Seller in trust for Buyer as owner, and for Buyer’s account.

(h) Upon any termination of AAR as Servicer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, each Seller and AAR shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Buyer in connection with recovering and enforcing payment of the Purchased Receivables, including by providing transitional services and related services as contemplated by Section 4(e) hereto.

5. Loss Recourse Amounts.

(a) Sellers’ First Loss Recourse Amount. Notwithstanding (and without limiting) its agreement and undertaking with respect to the obligations described in Section 7 hereto, each Seller hereby jointly and severally agrees to indemnify and pay to Buyer from and against any failure by a Tranche B Account Debtor to make a payment in respect of any Purchased Receivables as a result of the related Tranche B Account Debtor having become subject to an Insolvency Event, (and in the Buyer’s sole discretion, regardless of whether or not such failure is the result of the related Tranche B Account Debtor, Credit Insurance Provider or L/C Issuer having become the subject of an Insolvency Event) (the “First Loss Recourse Amount”), in an aggregate amount, during any 364-Day Period, not greater than $1,000,000. The First Loss Recourse Amount payable by Sellers in connection with this Section 5(a) shall be payable by the Sellers to Buyer in immediately available funds within ten (10) Business Days following written request by Buyer. Any amounts in respect of the First Loss Recourse Amount not paid when due shall accrue interest at the Discount Rate until paid. In order to support the obligations of the Sellers to make payments when due in respect of the First Loss Recourse Amount, the Seller Representative shall obtain and provide to Buyer from the L/C Issuer a letter of credit (the “Letter of Credit”) for the benefit of the Buyer, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Buyer. For the avoidance of doubt, any payments hereunder in respect of any Event of Repurchase or any indemnity set forth in Section 7 below shall not reduce or count as an offset against the First Loss Recourse Amount.

(b) Sellers’ Second Loss Recourse Amount. Notwithstanding (and without limiting) its agreement and undertaking with respect to the obligations described in Section 5(a)

and Section 7 hereto, each Seller hereby jointly and severally agrees to indemnify and pay to Buyer from and against any failure by any Tranche B Account Debtor to make a payment in respect of any Purchased Receivable as a result of the related Tranche B Account Debtor having become subject to an Insolvency Event (and in the Buyer’s sole discretion, regardless of whether or not such failure is the result of the related Tranche B Account Debtor or Credit Insurance Provider having become the subject of an Insolvency Event) (the “Second Loss Recourse Amount”), in an amount not greater than 6.0% of the Aggregate Net Invoice Amount of such Purchased Receivable. The Second Loss Recourse Amount payable by Sellers in connection with this Section 5(b) shall be payable by the Sellers to Buyer in immediately available funds within five (5) Business Days following written request by Buyer. Any amounts in respect of the Second Loss Recourse Amount not paid when due shall accrue interest at the Discount Rate until paid. For the avoidance of doubt, any payments hereunder in respect of any Event of Repurchase, any First Loss Recourse Amount or any indemnity set forth in Section 7 below shall not reduce or count as an offset against the Second Loss Recourse Amount.

6. Credit Insurance Policy and Letter of Credit.

(a) Buyer has obtained a credit insurance policy (the “Credit Insurance Policy”) from the Credit Insurance Provider. The Credit Insurance Policy shall be in form and substance acceptable to Buyer.

(b) On or prior to the date hereof, Seller Representative shall provide the Letter of Credit described in Section 5(a) above to the Buyer.

7. Repurchase Events; Indemnities and Set-Off.

(a) If any of the following events (“Events of Repurchase”) occurs and is continuing:

(i) Any Purchased Receivable is not an Eligible Receivable on the applicable Purchase Date therefor, or any representation or warranty by any Seller hereunder with respect to any of the Purchased Receivables is incorrect in any material respect when made or deemed made; or

(ii) If,

(1) Any Seller or Servicer fails to perform or observe any other term, covenant or agreement in any material respect with respect to any of the Purchased Receivables and such failure shall or will have an adverse effect on the ability to collect the Net Invoice Amount of any Purchased Receivable on the Expected Due Date and such failure and the related adverse effect continues for five (5) Business Days after the earlier of Servicer or any Seller obtaining knowledge thereof or notice from the Buyer;

(2) Any Seller or Servicer instructs the Account Debtor on such Purchased Receivable to pay amounts owing in respect of such Purchased Receivable to an account other than the Collection Account or Buyer’s Account; or

(3) A Dispute exists or arises with respect to any Purchased Receivable, or an Account Debtor asserts a Dispute with respect to any Purchased Receivable,

then, the applicable Seller shall repurchase all of such Purchased Receivables then outstanding affected by such Event of Repurchase (or, if Buyer agrees in writing, the portion subject to Dispute) at Buyer’s option and demand at the Repurchase Price within five (5) Business Days following receipt of such demand by the Seller Representative, which shall be paid to the Collection Account in immediately available funds. Upon the payment in full of the Repurchase Price with respect to a Purchased Receivable, such Purchased Receivable shall hereby be, and be deemed to be, repurchased by such Seller from Buyer without recourse to or warranty by Buyer. Each Seller agrees that Buyer may set off against any unpaid obligation of such Seller under this Section 7(a).

(b) Without duplication of any amounts recovered by any Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 4(f), each Seller hereby jointly and severally agrees to indemnify Buyer (together with its officers, directors, agents, representatives and employees, each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all claims, losses and liabilities (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) (all of the foregoing being collectively referred to as “Indemnified Amounts”) arising out of or resulting from any of the following: (i) the sale to Buyer of any Receivable which purports to be a Purchased Receivable as to which the representations and warranties made herein or in any other Transaction Document are not true and correct on the Purchase Date therefor (or if such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, as to which such representations and warranties are not true and correct as of such earlier date); (ii) any representation or warranty made or deemed made by any Seller (or any of its officers) under or in connection with this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents which shall have been incorrect when made; (iii) the failure by any Seller or any Purchased Receivable to comply with any applicable law, rule or regulation to the extent it results in any claims, losses and liabilities to any Indemnified Party acting in connection with the transactions hereunder; (iv) the failure to vest in Buyer a perfected security or ownership interest (as understood under the UCC or any similar law with respect to the sale or assignment of receivables in any jurisdiction applicable to any Seller) in each Purchased Receivable and the proceeds and Collections in respect thereof, free and clear of any liens or encumbrances of any kind or nature whatsoever; (v) any Dispute or any other claim resulting from the services or merchandise related to such Purchased Receivable or the furnishing or failure to furnish such services or merchandise or relating to collection activities with respect to such Purchased Receivable; provided, however, this clause (v) shall not be deemed to include any failure to pay arising out of any Insolvency Event of an Account Debtor; (vi) the commingling by any Seller of Collections at any time with other funds of such Seller or any other Person; (vii) any products liability claim, personal injury or property damage suit, environmental liability claim or any other claim or action by a party of whatever sort, whether in tort, contract or any other legal theory, arising out of or in connection with the goods or services that are the subject of any Purchased Receivable with respect thereto; (viii) losses for which the Buyer has recourse against the Sellers as expressly provided in Section 1(d) and Section 5 above including, for the avoidance of doubt, (x) the non-payment by the Credit Insurance Provider or L/C Issuer for any claims under the Credit Insurance Policy or Letter of Credit as a result of the acts or omission of any Seller Party and (y) failure to reasonably assist Buyer in filing claims in a timely manner

under the Credit Insurance Policy or Letter of Credit; or (ix) this Agreement, any other Transaction Document and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and the purchases of the Purchased Receivables by the Buyer pursuant to the terms hereof, including, without limitation, any suit, demand, claim or other dispute arising out of each Seller’s use of the Platform in a manner not expressly contemplated under this Agreement and also including any losses, costs, or expenses of the Buyer due to amounts (including due to any enforcement matters) paid or payable by any Seller to the Buyer which is paid in any currency other than U.S. Dollars; provided, however, that in all events there shall be excluded from the foregoing indemnification any claims, losses or liabilities (x) to the extent resulting from the gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party (or any of its officers, directors, agents, representatives and employees who are controlled by, or under common control with, such Indemnified Party) as determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction, (y) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, with respect to any Loss Recourse Amount as the result of an Insolvency Event of an Account Debtor or (z) recovered by Buyer through payment of the Repurchase Price or any Loss Recourse Amount, or from the Credit Insurance Policy or the Letter of Credit.

(c) Tax Indemnification. Any and all payments made by AAR or the applicable Seller to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any taxes, withholdings or other deductions, except to the extent required by law. If AAR or the applicable Seller is required by law to deduct or withhold any taxes from any payment made to the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, then: (x) AAR or the applicable Seller shall increase the sum payable to Buyer so that, after making the required deductions or withholdings (including deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this clause (x)), Buyer shall receive a net sum equal to the sum it would have received had no deduction or withholding been made, and (y) AAR or the applicable Seller shall pay such taxes to the applicable taxing authority and send the original or a certified copy of the receipt evidencing such tax payment, within 30 days of the payment date, to Tax Director — Int’l Compliance, Corp. Tax Dep’t, Citibank, N.A., 0 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxx Xxxxxx Xxxx, XX, XXX, 00000. AAR and the applicable Seller shall pay and indemnify and hold Buyer harmless from and against, any taxes (including interest and penalties) that may at any time be asserted, deducted or withheld in respect of the transactions or payments contemplated hereunder (including, but not limited to, taxes deducted or withheld by the Account Debtors with respect to payments on the Purchased Receivables and any sales, occupational, excise, gross receipts, personal property, privilege or license taxes, or withholdings or other deductions, but not including taxes imposed upon Buyer with respect to its gross or net income as a result of Buyer being organized under the laws of the jurisdiction imposing such tax), and all reasonable costs, expenses and counsel fees in defending against the same, whether arising by reason of the acts to be performed by any Seller hereunder or otherwise, without duplication for any taxes or additional amounts with respect to taxes that were previously paid pursuant to this Section 7(c); provided, however, that in all events there shall be excluded from the foregoing indemnification any taxes (x) resulting solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Buyer or any of its affiliates as determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction, (y) that would not have been imposed but for any present or former connection between Buyer or any of its affiliates and the taxing authority imposing the tax unrelated to the transactions contemplated hereby or (z) to the extent they would not have been imposed but for

the failure of Buyer to provide any reasonably requested tax forms, certificates or other documentation unless, in Buyer’s reasonable judgment, the completion, execution or submission of such documentation would subject Buyer to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of Buyer. AAR or the applicable Seller shall notify Buyer upon becoming aware (by knowledge or notice) of any deduction or withholding for taxes by an Account Debtor with respect to any payment on the Purchased Receivables. All indemnifications required to be made under this Section 7(c) shall be made within thirty (30) days from the date Buyer makes written demand therefor accompanied by a written statement describing in reasonable detail the taxes for which the Buyer believes it is entitled to indemnification and the computation of the amount so payable. If the Buyer determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of all or any part of any tax indemnified under this Section 7(c), the Buyer shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to the amount of such refund to the extent the Buyer received an indemnity of such amount from the Sellers; provided, however, that in no event will Buyer be required to pay to the indemnifying party an amount pursuant to this sentence the payment of which would place Buyer in a less favorable net after-tax position than Buyer would have been in if the tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such tax had never been paid.

(d) Set-Off. Each Seller further agrees that, unless such Seller notifies Buyer in writing that it desires to pay on the date when due any amounts due under this Section 7 and such Seller makes such payment to Buyer in immediately available funds on such date such payment is due, such Seller hereby irrevocably instructs and authorizes Buyer to set-off such amount against the Purchase Price of any Proposed Receivables to be purchased on or after such date or against any Collections. No notification, act or consent of any nature whatsoever is required prior to the right of Buyer to exercise such right of set-off.

(e) UCC. The rights granted to Buyer hereunder are in addition to all other rights and remedies afforded to Buyer as a secured party under the UCC or any similar law in any jurisdiction applicable to the related Seller.

(f) No Reduction. Without duplication of any specific payment, no amounts paid or payable under this Section 7 shall limit or reduce any amount or recourse paid or payable by the Sellers in respect of any Loss Recourse Amount as described herein.

8. Notices. Unless otherwise provided herein, all communications by any Seller Party or Buyer or any other agreement entered into in connection herewith shall be in writing and (except for financial statements and other informational documents which may be sent by first-class mail, postage prepaid, or by email) shall be personally delivered or sent by a recognized overnight delivery service, certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or by telecopier (with confirmed receipt) to Seller Party or Buyer, as the case may be, at its address set forth below:

Each Seller’s obligations to indemnify Buyer with respect to the expenses, damages, losses, costs and liabilities shall survive until all applicable statute of limitations periods with respect to actions that may be brought against Buyer have run.

10. Expenses. Parent and each Seller agrees, jointly and severally, to reimburse Buyer for all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and Buyer’s reasonable due diligence expenses, in connection with the preparation, negotiation, administration, syndication, enforcement and maintenance (including any amendments or waivers requested, initiated or consented to by the Sellers) of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. Such costs and expenses will be reimbursed by Parent and each Seller, within five (5) Business Days following presentation of a statement of account. Parent and each Seller also agrees to pay, on demand, all stamp and other similar taxes and fees payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution, delivery, filing and recording of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, and agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Party against any liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay in paying or omission to pay such taxes and fees.

11. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to conflicts of law principles. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or federal court of the United States sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, New York City, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such federal court. 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. Each Seller Party hereby irrevocably consents to the service of process in any suit, action or proceeding in said court by the mailing thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to the address of the Seller Representative set forth in Section 8 hereof. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents in any New York State or federal court located in the Borough of Manhattan. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

12. General Provisions.

(a) Final Agreement. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents represent the final agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous understandings and agreements with respect to such subject matter. No provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived except by a writing signed by the Buyer, the Seller Representative (on behalf of itself and the Sellers) and the Servicer and acknowledged by the Parent. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and permitted assigns of each of the parties; provided, however, that no Seller Party may assign any of its rights hereunder without Buyer’s prior written consent, given or withheld in Buyer’s sole discretion. Buyer shall have the right without the consent of or notice to any Seller Party to sell, transfer, negotiate, or grant participations in all or any part of, or any interest in, Buyer’s obligations, rights and benefits hereunder. In addition, Buyer may transfer or assign all or any portion of its rights hereunder and in any Purchased Receivables to any other Person. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, except following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Termination, no participation or assignment by Buyer hereunder shall be to a direct competitor of Parent or its affiliates, as reasonably determined by Buyer or to any entity in the aerospace or defense industries. Each provision of this Agreement shall be severable from every other provision hereof for the purpose of determining the legal enforceability of any specific provision.

(b) Execution; Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or by electronic mail attachment in portable document format (.pdf) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

(c) Termination. This Agreement shall terminate on the later of (i) the Purchase Termination Date (as such date may be extended from time to time pursuant to clause (b) of the definition thereof), and (ii) the Final Collection Date. In addition, each of the Seller Representative and the Buyer shall have the right, if no account control agreement shall be entered into pursuant to the third sentence of Section 4(b) prior to the DACA Date, to elect within five (5) Business Days following the DACA Date to terminate this Agreement, by providing written notice to the other, in each case with effect from the date of such notice (but without an Event of Termination being deemed to occur). For the avoidance of doubt, any purchase of Receivables hereunder shall be at Buyer’s sole discretion, notwithstanding the term of this Agreement contemplated in the immediately preceding sentence.

(d) Calculation of Interest. All interest amounts calculated on a per annum basis hereunder are calculated on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty (360) days. All amounts due hereunder (including under Section 4(f), Section 5, Section 7(a), Section 7(b) and Section 7(c)) shall accrue interest from and after the date when due at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR, plus 2.0% until paid, and shall be payable within 10 days of demand therefor.

(e) WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY; CONSEQUENTIAL CLAIMS. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT THAT IT MAY HAVE

TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN, INCLUDING CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW OR STATUTORY CLAIMS. CITI SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO ANY SELLER OR RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY LOSS OF BUSINESS OR PROFITS, REVENUE OR GOODWILL, OR ANY INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, WHETHER ARISING FROM BREACH OF CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF THOSE LOSSES OR DAMAGES.

(f) Confidentiality. Each party hereto agrees to hold the Transaction Documents and all non-public information received by it (or any of its agents or representatives) in connection therewith from any other party hereto (or its agents and representatives) in confidence and agrees not to provide any Person with copies of any Transaction Document or such non-public information, other than to (a) any officers, directors, members, managers, employees or outside accountants, auditors or attorneys thereof (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such information and instructed to keep such information confidential), (b) governmental authorities with appropriate jurisdiction (including filings required or in the case of AAR, deemed advisable, under applicable securities laws) and (c) with respect to the Buyer, any Person to whom the Buyer may sell or assign (including as a participation interest) all or any part of its rights hereunder as may be permitted by the terms hereof (in the case of any participant, potential participant or potential assignee, so long as such Person enters into a confidentiality agreement on terms substantially similar to this clause (f)). Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions contained in this clause (f), provided that the other parties hereto are given notice thereof, the parties hereto will not be liable for disclosure of use of such information if such disclosure or use (i) was required by law, including pursuant to a valid subpoena or other legal process, (ii) was in such Person’s possession or known to such Person prior to receipt (other than information which came to be known from information received from or on behalf of a party hereto), or (iii) is or becomes known to the public through disclosure in a printed publication (without breach of any of such Person’s obligations hereunder). Buyer acknowledges that (x) the Transaction Documents and all non-public information received by it (or any of its agents and representatives) in connection therewith may include material non-public information concerning Seller Parties, (y) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and (z) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable law, including United States federal and state securities laws.

(g) Patriot Act; OFAC. To help fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, United States Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person or corporation who opens an account and/or enters into a business relationship. No Seller Party nor, to the knowledge of such Seller Party, any director, officer or employee thereof, is an individual or entity that is, or is owned or controlled by any individual or entity that is (i) currently the subject or target of any Sanctions, (ii) included on OFAC’s List of Specially Designated Nationals, HMT’s Consolidated List of Financial Sanctions Targets and the Investment Ban List, or any similar list enforced by any other applicable Sanctions authority or (iii) located, organized, resident or doing business in a

Designated Jurisdiction except, in each case, as authorized by the applicable Sanctions authority or not prohibited by any Sanction.

(h) Conduct of Business. The Seller Parties conduct their businesses in compliance with The U.S. Bank Secrecy Act, The United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, the UK Xxxxxxx Xxx 0000, and other similar anti-corruption and anti-money laundering legislation in other jurisdictions to the extent applicable to any Seller Party, except to the extent such non-compliance would not reasonably be expected to have a material and adverse effect on any Seller Party responsible therefor, and have instituted and maintain policies and procedures designed to promote and achieve such compliance with such laws.

13. Limited License; Conducting Business Through the Platform.

(a) Each Seller Party agrees to be bound the terms, conditions and limitations set forth in Exhibit F hereto that govern the limited license of such Seller Party to use the Platform in connection with the performance of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

(b) Buyer and each Seller Party each (i) consents to the communication and delivery of Offers, Acceptances, and other Postings and communications through the Platform, even though such actions are by electronic means on the Platform, (ii) agrees that such actions shall be valid and binding on the parties, as if such actions had been taken in writing on paper, and (iii) hereby waives any claim or defense that any such Offers, Acceptances, and other Postings and communications through the Platform are not binding or enforceable or do not have their intended effect as a result of their being communicated electronically rather than in writing. Each Seller Party hereby agrees that Buyer shall be entitled to rely on any Posting sent or purported to be sent by such Seller Party via the Platform as valid and binding on such Seller Party irrespective of any error or fraud contained therein or the identity of the individual who made the Posting, except to the extent that such error or fraud or use of the Platform by an unauthorized third party is a result of the failure by Buyer to use commercially reasonable security measures to prevent unauthorized access to the Platform.

14. Addition of Sellers. Additional affiliates and subsidiaries of AAR may be added, from time to time, after the date hereof as “Sellers” hereunder, with the prior written consent of the Buyer (in its sole and absolute discretion); provided that the following conditions are satisfied on or before the date of such addition:

(a) Seller Representative shall have given the Buyer at least ten (10) days prior written notice of such proposed addition and the identity of the proposed additional seller and shall have provided such information with respect to the Receivables or business of such additional seller as Buyer or its assigns shall have reasonably requested;

(b) Such proposed additional seller has executed and delivered to the Buyer a Joinder Agreement in the form of Exhibit E hereto;

(c) Such proposed additional seller has delivered to the Buyer such additional documents and information (including, without limitation corporate organizational documents, officer’s certificates, corporate resolutions, and tax, UCC lien, judgment and similar searches),

opinions of counsel and/or financing statements that the Buyer or its assigns shall request at such time (including, without limitation, opinions with respect to general corporate, enforceability, no conflict with law or material agreements, UCC (or similar law) and true sale matters); and

Exhibit F

The Platform: Terms and Conditions of the Limited License

The terms and conditions set forth below governs the use by Seller of the Platform in connection with the performance of this Agreement:

(a) Ownership. The Platform is owned by Citi and is subject to the limited license (and not sold) to Seller hereunder.

(b) Grant of Limited License. Subject to the terms of this Exhibit F, Citi grants Seller the world-wide, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, non-transferable license to use the Platform solely in connection with the performance of this Agreement, and for the specific purposes of uploading Receivables Information and approving the Proposed Receivables for purchase by Buyer hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, Seller may not use the Platform to provide any services to or on behalf of any Person other than Buyer. All rights not expressly granted to Seller are reserved by Citi. No rights are granted by implication or otherwise.

(c) Termination. The limited license granted to Seller shall terminate upon the termination of this Agreement. Upon termination, Seller shall cease all use of the Platform and all other rights granted to Seller shall automatically be terminated; provided, that provisions contained in this Exhibit F that expressly or by their sense and context are intended to survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement shall so survive the expiration or termination, including without limitation clauses (a), (c), (d), (f) and (g) hereof.

(d) Proprietary Rights. Seller acknowledges that all rights, title, and proprietary rights in and to the Platform (including, but not limited to, any patents, trade secrets, trademarks, and copyrights incorporated into the Platform) are owned by Citi. The Platform is protected by copyright laws, international treaty provisions, and other laws. Seller understands that Citi may update or revise the Platform in its sole discretion.

(e) Confidentiality. Seller hereby acknowledges that the Platform constitutes and contains confidential information of Citi and its affiliates. Seller agrees to not copy reverse engineer or disassemble the Platform or disclose its existence to any third party. Seller further agrees to exercise at least the same degree of care in maintaining the confidentiality of the Platform as Seller exercises in maintaining the confidentiality of its own confidential information; provided that at a minimum Seller will exercise a reasonable standard of care in maintaining the confidentiality of the Platform. Confidential information under this clause (e) shall not include information provided by Seller or which is or becomes publicly available through no breach by Seller of this clause (e). Seller shall be entitled to comply with any question from a governmental entity, regulatory authority or agency, by subpoena, administrative or judicial processor otherwise that requests access to confidential information under this clause (e); provided, Seller, to the extent permitted under applicable law or regulation, will use its reasonable efforts to provide prompt notice to Citi of such request. Seller acknowledges that the confidential information set forth in the Platform is unique and valuable, and that disclosure in breach of this clause (e) will result in irreparable injury to Citi for which monetary damages alone would not be an adequate remedy. Therefore, Seller agrees that in the event of a breach or threatened breach of confidentiality, Citi shall be entitled to seek specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief as a remedy for any such breach or anticipated breach without the necessity of posting a bond.

F-1

(f) Disclaimer of Warranties and Duties. Citi may, at its discretion, provide support services (“Support Services”) to Seller to facilitate Seller’s use of the Platform.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, CITI AND ITS AFFILIATES PROVIDE THE PLATFORM AND ANY (IF ANY) SUPPORT SERVICES WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS WARRANTY OR INDEMNITY, AND THE PLATFORM AND SUPPORT SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “WITH ALL FAULTS”. CITI HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL IMPLIED INDEMNITIES AND WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY (IF ANY) IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, TITLE, OR THAT THE OPERATION OF THE PLATFORM WILL BE ACCURATE, VIRUS-FREE, OR WILL CORRESPOND TO ANY DOCUMENTATION. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW EXCLUSIONS OF AN IMPLIED WARRANTY, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION MAY NOT FULLY APPLY TO SELLER, AND SELLER MAY HAVE OTHER RIGHTS THAT VARY BETWEEN JURISDICTIONS. NO PROVISION OF THIS LIMITED LICENSE TO USE THE PLATFORM SHALL BE TAKEN AS EXCLUDING OR RESTRICTING OR ATTEMPTING TO EXCLUDE OR RESTRICT ANY LIABILITY FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY ARISING FROM CITI’S NEGLIGENCE OR FOR FRAUD.

(g) No Implied Warranties. NO ORAL OR WRITTEN INFORMATION OR ADVICE GIVEN BY CITI, ITS AGENTS OR EMPLOYEES CREATES A WARRANTY AND SELLER MAY NOT RELY ON ANY SUCH INFORMATION OR ADVICE.
