SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED RECEIVABLES LOAN AGREEMENT

THIS SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED RECEIVABLES LOAN AGREEMENT, dated as of March 20, 2017 (this “Agreement”), is entered into by and among:

(a) ArcBest Funding LLC, f/k/a ABF Freight Funding LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as Borrower (the “Borrower”);

(b) ArcBest Corporation, f/k/a Arkansas Best Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Parent” or the “Servicer”), as Servicer (the Servicer together with the Borrower, the “Borrower Parties” and each, a “Borrower Party”);

(d) PNC Bank, National Association, a national banking association (“PNC”), as letter of credit issuer (in such capacity, the “LC Issuer”), and as agent and administrator for the Lenders and their assigns and the LC Issuer and its assigns under the Transaction Documents (together with its successors and assigns in such capacity, the “Agent”).

Unless defined elsewhere herein, capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in Exhibit I.

PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS

WHEREAS, the Borrower, ArcBest Corporation, as initial Servicer, the Servicer, the Agent, the LC Issuer and PNC, as Lender, have previously entered into that certain Amended and Restated Receivables Loan Agreement dated as of February 1, 2015 (as amended from time to time heretofore, the “Existing Loan Agreement”);

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Existing Loan Agreement, PNC, as Lender, has extended certain credit facilities to the Borrower;

WHEREAS, the Borrower would like to include Regions Bank as a Lender hereunder;

WHEREAS, the Borrower, the Servicer, the Agent, the LC Issuer and PNC, as Lender, desire to amend and restate the Existing Loan Agreement in its entirety to add Regions Bank as a Lender hereunder and to make certain changes as more fully set forth herein, which amendment and restatement shall become effective upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth herein;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

LOAN FACILITY; BORROWING PROCEDURES

Section 1.1. Loan Facility. (a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Article VI), each Lender, ratably in accordance with its respective Commitment, severally and not jointly, agrees to make Loans to Borrower on a revolving basis from time to time prior to the Facility Termination Date in such amounts as may be from time to time requested by Borrower pursuant to Section 1.2; provided that no Lender shall be obligated to make any Loan if, after giving effect thereto, (i) the Aggregate Credit Exposure would exceed the lesser of (A) the Facility Limit and (B) the Net Pool Balance less the Required Reserve or (ii) the Credit Exposure of such Lender would exceed its Commitment. The Borrower will pay Interest on Loans made pursuant to this Agreement at the Alternate Base Rate or the LIBO Rate, selected in accordance with Article IV hereof. Within the limits of the Commitment, Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow under this Section 1.1.

(b) The Borrower may, upon at least ten (10) Business Days’ notice to the Agent and each Lender, terminate in whole or reduce in part, the unused portion of the Facility Limit, without premium or penalty; provided that each partial reduction of the Facility Limit shall be in an amount equal to $5,000,000 (or a larger integral multiple of $1,000,000 if in excess thereof) and shall not reduce the Facility Limit below $10,000,000. In connection with any partial reduction in the Facility Limit, the Commitment of each Lender shall be ratably reduced.

(c) Increases in Commitment. Upon notice to each Lender, the Agent and the LC Issuer, the Borrower may from time to time request an increase in the Commitment with respect to one or more Lenders, at any time following the Restatement Date and prior to the Facility Termination Date, such aggregate increase in each Lender’s Commitments to be an amount (for all such requests or additions) not exceeding $25,000,000; provided, that each request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000. At the time of sending such notice, the Borrower (in consultation with the Agent) shall specify the time period within which the applicable Lender(s), the LC Issuer and the Agent are requested to respond to the Borrower’s request (which shall in no event be less than ten (10) Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the Agent). Each Lender being asked to increase its Commitment, the LC Issuer and the Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Servicer within the applicable time period whether or not such Person has agreed, in its respective sole discretion, to the increase to such Lender’s Commitment. Any such Person that does not respond within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to consent to an increase in the applicable Lender’s Commitment. For the avoidance of doubt, only the consent of the Lender then being asked to increase its Commitment, the Agent and the LC Issuer shall be required in order to approve any such request. If the Commitment of any Lender is increased in accordance with this clause (c), the Agent, such Lender, the LC Issuer, the Borrower and the Servicer shall determine the effective date with respect to such increase and shall enter into such documents as agreed to by such parties to document such increase; it being understood and agreed that the Agent or such Lender may request any of (x) resolutions of the Member of the Borrower approving or consenting to such Commitment increase and authorizing the execution, delivery and performance of any amendment to this Agreement, (y) a corporate and enforceability opinion of counsel of the

Borrower and (z) such other documents, agreements and opinions reasonably requested by such Lender or the Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower may not request any such Commitment increase if any event has occurred and is continuing, or would arise as a result thereof, that will constitute an Amortization Event or a Servicer Termination Event or any event has occurred and is continuing, or would result from such Commitment increase, that would constitute an Unmatured Amortization Event.

Section 1.2. Borrowing Procedures. (a) The Borrower (or the Servicer, on its behalf) may request a Loan hereunder by giving notice to Agent and each Lender of a proposed borrowing not later than 12:00 noon (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania time), at least (i) three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed date of such borrowing (or such lesser period of time as each Lender may consent) in the case of a Loan which is to bear interest at the LIBO Rate, and (ii) one (1) Business Day prior to the proposed date of such borrowing (or such lesser period of time as each Lender may consent) in the case of a Loan which is to bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate, in a form set forth as Exhibit II-A hereto (each, a “Borrowing Request”). Each Borrowing Request shall be subject to Section 6.2 hereof and shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower. Each Borrowing Request shall specify (A) the requested Loan amount (which shall not be less than $1,000,000 or a larger integral multiple of $100,000), (B) the allocation of such amount among each Lender (which shall be ratable based on each Lender’s Commitment), (C) whether the Loan is to bear interest at the LIBO Rate or the Alternate Base Rate, and (D) the Borrowing Date (which shall be on a Business Day). There shall not be more than four (4) Loans which are accruing interest at the LIBO Rate outstanding at any time.

(b) On each Borrowing Date, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article VI and this Section 1.2, each Lender shall deposit to the Facility Account, in immediately available funds, no later than 2:00 p.m. (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania time), an amount equal to the requested Loan.

(c) Each Lender’s obligation to fund its Percentage of a requested Loan shall be several, such that the failure of any Lender to make available to the Borrower any funds in connection with any Loan shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make funds available on the Borrowing Date of such Loan being requested (it being understood that no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make funds available to the Borrower in connection with any Loan hereunder).

Section 1.3. Prepayments. (a) The Borrower shall provide the Agent and each Lender with prior written notice in conformity with the Required Notice Period in the form of Exhibit IX hereto (a “Prepayment Notice”) of any proposed prepayment in whole or in part of any Advances Outstanding. The Borrower shall only deliver a Prepayment Notice if Collections are available in an amount sufficient to make the proposed prepayment of Advances Outstanding plus any related accrued and unpaid Interest and Broken Funding Costs. Such Prepayment Notice shall designate (i) the date (the “Proposed Prepayment Date”) upon which any such prepayment shall occur (which date shall give effect to the applicable Required Notice Period and need not be a Settlement Date), (ii) the amount of the Advances Outstanding to be prepaid, and (iii) to which Loan or Loans such prepayment shall apply (in the absence of direction from the Borrower as to which Loans shall be prepaid such prepayment shall be applied as the Agent shall determine in

its reasonable discretion) (the “Aggregate Prepayment”). Only one (1) Prepayment Notice shall be outstanding at any time. The Borrower shall pay any Broken Funding Costs and accrued and unpaid Interest on the portion of the Aggregate Loan Amount which has been prepaid on the Proposed Prepayment Date, provided, however, that unpaid accrued Interest on such prepaid amount shall only be paid on such date if so requested by the Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, in its sole discretion, otherwise such Interest shall be payable on the next occurring Settlement Date.

(b) If on any day the Aggregate Credit Exposure exceeds the amount obtained by subtracting the Required Reserve from the Net Pool Balance (such an event, a “Borrowing Base Deficiency”), the Borrower, upon notice from any Lender or Agent of such Borrowing Base Deficiency or upon the knowledge of an Authorized Officer of the Borrower thereof, shall make a prepayment in an amount equal to such Borrowing Base Deficiency to be applied first, to the ratable reduction of the Aggregate Loan Amount and second, to Cash-Collateralize the LC Obligations. The Borrower shall also make payment of any Broken Funding Costs and accrued and unpaid Interest on the portion of the Aggregate Loan Amount which has been prepaid, provided, however, that unpaid accrued Interest on such prepaid amount shall only be paid on such date if so requested by the Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, in its sole discretion, otherwise such Interest shall be payable on the next occurring Settlement Date.

Section 1.4. Deemed Collections. If on any day:

(i) the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable that was included as an Eligible Receivable in the most recent Monthly Report or Weekly Report provided to the Agent is reduced or cancelled as a result of any defective, returned or rejected goods or services, any cash discount or any other adjustment by any Originator or any Affiliate thereof, or as a result of any governmental or regulatory action, or

(ii) the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable that was included as an Eligible Receivable in the most recent Monthly Report or Weekly Report provided to the Agent is reduced or canceled as a result of a setoff in respect of any claim by the Obligor thereof (whether such claim arises out of the same or a related or an unrelated transaction), or

(iii) the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable that was included as an Eligible Receivable in the most recent Monthly Report or Weekly Report provided to the Agent is reduced on account of the obligation of any Originator or any Affiliate thereof to pay to the related Obligor any rebate or refund, or

(iv) the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable that was included as an Eligible Receivable in the most recent Monthly Report or Weekly Report provided to the Agent is less than the amount included in calculating the Net Pool Balance for purposes of any Monthly Report or Weekly Report (for any reason other than receipt of Collections or such Receivable becoming a Defaulted Receivable), or

(v) any of the representations or warranties of the Borrower set forth in Section 5.1(g), Section 5.1(i), Section 5.1(j), Section 5.1(q), Section 5.1(r), Section 5.1(s), Section 5.1(t), Section 5.1(u) or Section 5.1(y) were not true when made with respect to any Purchased Receivable,

then, on such day as notice has been given to Borrower by any Lender or Agent of such occurrence or an Authorized Officer of the Borrower shall have knowledge thereof, the Borrower shall be deemed to have received a Collection of such Receivable (A) in the case of clauses (i)-(iv) above, in the amount of such reduction or cancellation or the difference between the actual Outstanding Balance and the amount included in calculating such Net Pool Balance, as applicable; and (B) in the case of clause (v) above, in the amount of the Outstanding Balance of such Receivable, and (in either case), (1) at all times prior to an Amortization Event, if as a result of such Deemed Collection a Borrowing Base Deficiency would occur, not later than two Business Days thereafter the Borrower shall pay to the Agent’s Account an amount necessary to cure such Borrowing Base Deficiency and (2) at all times after an Amortization Event has occurred, not later than two Business Days thereafter the Borrower shall pay an amount equal to such Deemed Collection to the Agent’s Account to be distributed in the same manner as actual cash collections are distributed pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof.

If the Borrower pays the Outstanding Balance of any Purchased Receivable under clause (B) above, the Agent agrees to release all right, title and interest it may have in and to such Purchased Receivable and the Related Security relating solely to such Receivable to the extent the applicable Originator is required to repurchase such Receivable from the Borrower, and does repurchase such Receivable, in accordance with the terms of the Receivables Sale Agreement.

Section 1.5. Payment Requirements and Computations. All amounts to be paid or deposited by a Borrower Party pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be paid or deposited in accordance with the terms hereof no later than 12:00 noon (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania time) on the day when due in immediately available funds, and if not received before 12:00 noon (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania time) shall be deemed to be received on the next succeeding Business Day. If such amounts are payable to the Agent for the account of any Lender, they shall be paid to the Agent’s Account, for the account of such Lender until otherwise notified by the Agent. All computations of Interest which accrues at the Alternate Base Rate shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, for the actual number of days elapsed in the applicable Interest Period. All computations of Interest (other than Interest which accrues at the Alternate Base Rate), per annum fees hereunder and per annum fees under the Fee Letter shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days elapsed in the applicable Interest Period. If any amount hereunder shall be payable on a day which is not a Business Day, such amount shall be payable on the next succeeding Business Day.

Section 1.6. Letters of Credit. (a) Letter of Credit Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the LC Issuer agrees to issue standby letters of credit (“Letters of Credit”) for the account of the Borrower on any Business Day prior to the Facility Termination Date in such form as may be approved from time to time by the LC Issuer; provided that the LC Issuer shall have no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, the

Aggregate Credit Exposure would exceed the lesser of (x) the Facility Limit and (y) the Net Pool Balance less the Required Reserve.

Each Letter of Credit shall:

(i) be denominated in U.S. Dollars;

(ii) be issued to a beneficiary at the direction of an Originator in connection with the sale and purchase of a Purchased Receivable;

(iii) expire no later than the earlier of (A) the day that such Letter of Credit is fully drawn, (B) the date that is 12 months after the Facility Termination Date, and (C) 12 months from the date of issuance; provided that, any Letter of Credit with a 12-month term may provide for the renewal thereof for additional periods of 12 months (which in no event shall extend beyond the date referred to in clauses (A) and (B) of this paragraph); and

(iv) be subject either to the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits (2007 Revision), International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 600, and any amendments or revisions thereof adhered to by the LC Issuer or the International Standby Practices ISP98-International Chamber of Commerce Publication Number 590, and any amendments or revisions thereof adhered to by the LC Issuer, as determined by the LC Issuer; provided, however, that in the event the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit requires that such Letter of Credit be issued under one of the foregoing set of standards, such Letter of Credit shall be subject to such specified standard.

Amounts drawn on any Letter of Credit may not be reinstated and the maximum amount of such Letter of Credit shall be permanently and irrevocably reduced by an amount equal to all amounts drawn thereon. Letters of Credit that have been fully drawn shall be deemed to have expired and shall not be revived. As of the Closing Date, each of the Existing Letters of Credit shall constitute, for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, a Letter of Credit issued and outstanding hereunder pursuant to Section 13.13.

(b) Procedure for Issuance of Letters of Credit. The Borrower may from time to time request that the LC Issuer issue a Letter of Credit by delivering to the LC Issuer, at its address for notices specified herein, a Letter of Credit Request therefor, completed to the satisfaction of the LC Issuer, and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as the LC Issuer may request. Any such Letter of Credit Request must be received by the LC Issuer by no later than 12:00 noon (Pittsburgh) time, two (2) Business Days prior to the date such Letter of Credit is to be issued or amended, or such other time as previously agreed between the LC Issuer and the Borrower.

Upon receipt of any Letter of Credit Request, the LC Issuer will process such Letter of Credit Request and the certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its customary procedures and shall, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, promptly issue the Letter of Credit requested thereby (but in no

event shall the LC Issuer be required to issue any Letter of Credit earlier than two (2) Business Days after its receipt of the Letter of Credit Request therefor and all such other certificates, documents and other papers and information relating thereto) by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed by the LC Issuer and the Borrower. The LC Issuer shall promptly furnish a copy of such Letter of Credit to the Borrower.

(c) Fees, Commissions and Other Charges. The Borrower shall pay to the LC Issuer the Letter of Credit Issuance Fee with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by the LC Issuer, as set forth in the Fee Letter. In addition, the Borrower shall pay the LC Issuer $150 in connection with any amendment of any Letter of Credit.

(d) Reimbursement Obligations of the Borrower. (i) Upon the making of any LC Advance, the Borrower shall be obligated (whether from funds in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account or other sources or funds) to reimburse, in same day funds, in U.S. dollars, the LC Issuer for the amount of any LC Advance and any taxes and any reasonable fees, charges or other costs or expenses incurred by the LC Issuer in connection with the related Letter of Credit (collectively, the “LC Amounts”). Upon the making of any LC Advance, the LC Issuer shall withdraw funds from the Letter of Credit Collateral Account (if any) in an amount equal to the LC Amounts resulting from such LC Advance (or if the balance of funds on deposit in such account at such time is less than such LC Amounts, such lesser amount) and apply the amount so withdrawn against the LC Amounts resulting from such LC Advance. If the reimbursement obligation as to the LC Amounts is not satisfied by withdrawal of funds on deposit in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, the Borrower shall reimburse such amounts by obtaining Loans pursuant to Section 1.6(d)(ii) below.

(ii) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing or demand for payment under such Letter of Credit, the LC Issuer shall promptly notify each Lender, the Agent and the Borrower of the date and amount thereof (such notice hereinafter referred to as a “Notice of LC Draw”). Each Notice of LC Draw shall set forth the amount of the requested drawing or demand, the amount of funds then on deposit in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, and the amount of any unreimbursed LC Amount that will remain after the LC Issuer withdraws funds from the Letter of Credit Collateral Account pursuant to Section 1.6(d)(i) (such amount, the “Unreimbursed LC Amount”). The Borrower shall be obligated to immediately reimburse the LC Issuer for such Unreimbursed LC Amount from other sources or funds. If the Borrower shall not have satisfied its obligation to reimburse the LC Issuer for the Unreimbursed LC Amount from other sources or funds, the LC Issuer shall promptly notify the Agent and each Lender of such non-payment and the Lenders shall reimburse the LC Issuer for its Percentage of the Unreimbursed LC Amount (a “Lender Reimbursement Payment”), whereupon the Agent and each Lender will be deemed to have received a timely Borrowing Request that the Lenders make a Loan on such date in the amount of the Unreimbursed LC Amount. If any Lender so notified fails to make available to the LC Issuer the amount of such Lender’s Lender Reimbursement Payment by 2:00 p.m. (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania time) on the date of the applicable LC Advance under the applicable Letter of Credit (the “Drawing Date”), then the Lender shall pay to the LC Issuer interest with respect to such Lender’s obligation to make such Lender

Reimbursement Payment, from the Drawing Date to the date on which such Lender makes such payment at a rate per annum equal to (i) the Federal Funds Effective Rate during the first three days following the Drawing Date and (ii) the Alternate Base Rate on and after the fourth day following the Drawing Date. If any Lender makes any such Lender Reimbursement Payment to reimburse the LC Issuer for the Unreimbursed LC Amount pursuant to the foregoing sentence, the amounts payable pursuant to the then outstanding reimbursement obligations owed by the Borrower to the LC Issuer shall be paid to such Lender to reimburse such Lender for its Lender Reimbursement Payment made to the LC Issuer. If the Borrower is obligated to reimburse the LC Issuer for an Unreimbursed LC Amount from other sources or funds as provided above, and the Borrower shall fail to reimburse the LC Issuer for such Unreimbursed LC Amount in full or a Lender Reimbursement Payment is made by any Lender, such Unreimbursed LC Amount and/or Lender Reimbursement Payment, as applicable, shall bear interest at the Default Rate until payment in full. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to make a Lender Reimbursement Payment in accordance with this Section 1.6(d)(ii) is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including, without limitation, non-satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Sections 1.1, 1.2 or 6.2.

(e) Repayment of Lender Reimbursement Payments. (i) Upon (and only upon) receipt by the LC Issuer for its account of immediately available funds from or for the account of the Borrower (x) in reimbursement of any payment made by the LC Issuer under a Letter of Credit with respect to which any Lender has made a Lender Reimbursement Payment to the LC Issuer or (y) in payment of Interest on the Loans made or deemed to have been made in connection with any draw under a Letter of Credit, the LC Issuer will distribute to each Lender, ratably (based on the outstanding drawn amounts funded by each such Lender in respect of such Letter of Credit), such funds received from or for the account of the Borrower by the LC Issuer; it being understood, that the LC Issuer shall retain a ratable amount of such funds that were not the subject of any payment in respect of such Letter of Credit by any Lender. Any such amounts received by the LC Issuer and distributed to a Lender will be applied to reduce the Advances Outstanding related to such Lender or, if such distribution is in respect of Interest, be applied to Interest then due and payable on such Lender’s Loans.

(ii) If the LC Issuer is required at any time to return to the Borrower, or to a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian, or any official in any Event of Bankruptcy, any portion of the payments made by the Borrower to the LC Issuer pursuant to this Agreement in reimbursement of a payment made under a Letter of Credit or interest or fees thereon, each Lender shall, on demand of the LC Issuer, forthwith return to the LC Issuer the amount of its Percentage of any amounts so returned by the LC Issuer plus interest at the Federal Funds Effective Rate, from the date the payment was first made to such Lender through, but not including, the date the payment is returned by such Lender.

(f) Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligations under this Section 1.6 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any set-off, counterclaim or defense to payment which the Borrower may have or have had against the LC Issuer, the Agent, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person.

The Borrower also agrees with the LC Issuer that the LC Issuer shall not be responsible for, and the Borrower’s reimbursement obligations under Section 1.6(d) shall not be affected by, among other things, (i) the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged, (ii) any dispute between or among the Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred, (iii) or any claims whatsoever of the Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee, (iv) any change in the time, manner and place of payment of, or in any other term of all or any of the obligations of the Borrower in respect of any Letter of Credit or any amendment or waiver or any consent to departure from the terms of any Letter of Credit or any document executed or delivered in connection with the issuance or payment thereof, or (v) any payment by the LC Issuer of any Letter of Credit against presentation of any document or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or any payment made by the LC Issuer under any Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit, except to the extent such actions, errors or omissions constitute or are caused by the LC Issuer’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final nonappealable judgment.

The LC Issuer shall not be liable for (i) any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit; (ii) any error in translation or interpretation of technical terms; (iii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iv) the failure of any beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit to comply fully with conditions required in order to draw upon any Letter of Credit; or (v) any other consequences arising from causes beyond the LC Issuer’s or the LC Issuer’s correspondents’ control, except for actions, errors or omissions constituting or caused by the LC Issuer’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final nonappealable judgment. The Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by the LC Issuer under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct shall be binding on the Borrower and shall not result in any liability of the LC Issuer to the Borrower. The responsibility of the LC Issuer to the Borrower in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are in conformity with such Letter of Credit.

(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary contained herein, LC Issuer shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if: (i) any order, judgment or decree of any governmental authority or regulatory body or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the LC Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any law applicable to the LC Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any governmental authority or regulatory body or arbitrator with jurisdiction over the LC

Issuer (x) shall prohibit, or request that the LC Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular, (y) shall impose upon the LC Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the LC Issuer is not otherwise entitled to be compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or (z) shall impose upon the LC Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which the LC Issuer in good xxxxx xxxxx material to it; provided that, in the cases of clauses (y) and (z), the LC Issuer shall have provided written notice to the Borrower of its refusal to issue any Letter of Credit and the specific reasons therefor and the Borrower shall not have compensated the LC Issuer for the imposition of such restriction, reserve or capital requirement or reimbursed the LC Issuer for such loss, cost or expense, as applicable; (ii) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would otherwise conflict with, or cause the LC Issuer to exceed any limits imposed by, any applicable law; or (iii) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of the LC Issuer applicable to letters of credit generally. The LC Issuer shall not be obligated to modify any Letter of Credit if (A) the LC Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue the Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to the Letter of Credit.

(h) Letter of Credit Requests. To the extent that any provision of any Letter of Credit Request is inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 1.6, the provisions of this Section 1.6 shall apply.

(i) The Borrower authorizes and directs the LC Issuer to name the Borrower as the “Applicant” or “Account Party” of each Letter of Credit; provided, that any such Letter of Credit may indicate that it is issued on behalf of ABF or an Affiliate of ABF Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or otherwise outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of a Person other than the Borrower, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the LC Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit as provided in this Agreement.

(j) Letter of Credit Collateral Account. Immediately prior to the occurrence of the Facility Termination Date, if any Letters of Credit are outstanding and undrawn, the LC Issuer shall notify the Agent of (i) the amount of all Letter of Credit Issuance Fees, LC Fronting Fees, and Default LC Participation Fees (in each case as such term is defined in the Fee Letter) to accrue through the stated expiration dates thereof (such fees to accrue, as reasonably estimated by the LC Issuer, the “LC Fee Expectation”) plus (ii) the amount necessary to fully Cash-Collateralize all outstanding Letters of Credit (the sum of (i) and (ii) referred to herein as the “Termination Date Collateral Account Deficiency”) and the Borrower shall be deemed to have timely given a Borrowing Request to the Agent pursuant to Section 1.2 requesting the Lenders to make a Loan on such date in the amount of such Termination Date Collateral Account Deficiency; provided, that solely for purposes of such Loan, the conditions precedent set forth in Section 6.2 hereof shall not be applicable. The Agent shall notify the Lenders of such Loan and each Lender shall deposit the proceeds of its Loan into the Letter of Credit Collateral Account.

Section 1.7. Records of Loans and Lender Reimbursement Payments. Each Lender shall record in its records, the date and amount of each Loan and Lender Reimbursement Payment made by such Lender hereunder, the interest rate with respect thereto, the Interest accrued

thereon and each repayment and payment thereof. Such records shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error. The failure to so record any such information or any error in so recording any such information shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents to repay the outstanding principal balance of all Loans of each Lender, together with all Interest accruing thereon and all other Aggregate Unpaids.

Section 1.8. Defaulting Lenders.

(a) Defaulting Lender Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:

(i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Majority Lenders.

(ii) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article IX or otherwise) shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the LC Issuer hereunder; third, to Cash-Collateralize the LC Issuer’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section1.8(d); fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Amortization Event or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement; fifth, if so determined by the Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash-Collateralize the LC Issuer’s future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section1.8(d); sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or the LC Issuer as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or the LC Issuer against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction, provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or LC Draws in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 6.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and unreimbursed LC Advances owed to, all Non-

Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or unreimbursed LC Advances owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in LC Obligations are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments without giving effect to Section 1.8(a)(iv). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash-Collateral pursuant to this Section1.8(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) Certain Fees. (A) No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Facility Fee (as such term is defined in the Fee Letter) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender) except to the extent of (1) the outstanding principal amount of the Loans funded by it, and (2) its Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash-Collateral pursuant to Section 1.8(a)(v).

(B) Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive the Default LC Participation Fee (as such term is defined in the Fee Letter) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash-Collateral pursuant to Section 1.8(a)(v).

(C) With respect to any Facility Fee or Default LC Participation Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above, the Borrower shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in LC Obligations that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to the LC Issuer the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to the LC Issuer’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

(iv) Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in LC Obligations shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in Section 6.2 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Borrower shall have otherwise notified the Agent at such time, the Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitment. No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(v) Cash-Collateral. If the reallocation described in clause (iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, Cash-Collateralize the LC Issuer’s Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 1.8(d).

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Agent and the LC Issuer agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit to be held by the Lenders in the correct Percentage in accordance with the Commitments (without giving effect to Section 1.8(a)(iv)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

(c) New Letters of Credit. So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the LC Issuer shall not be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.

(d) Cash-Collateral. (i) At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within one Business Day following the written request of the Agent or the LC Issuer (with a copy to the Agent) or such later period as set forth in such written request, the Borrower shall Cash-Collateralize the LC Issuer’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to Section 1.8(a)(iv)) and any Cash-Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount.

(ii) Grant of Security Interest. The Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grants to Agent, for the benefit of the LC Issuer, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash-Collateral as security for the Defaulting Lenders’ obligation to fund participations in respect of LC Obligations, to be applied pursuant to clause (iii) below. If at any time the Agent determines that Cash-Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Agent and the LC Issuer as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash-Collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, the Borrower will, promptly upon demand by the Agent, pay or provide to the Agent additional Cash-Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any Cash-Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).

(iii) Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash-Collateral provided under this Section 1.8 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund

participations in respect of LC Obligations (including, as to Cash-Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash-Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.

(iv) Termination of Requirement. Cash-Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce the LC Issuer’s Fronting Exposure shall no longer be required to be held as Cash-Collateral pursuant to this Section 1.8 following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender), or (ii) the determination by the Agent and the LC Issuer that there exists excess Cash-Collateral; provided that, subject to this Section 1.8 the Person providing Cash-Collateral and the LC Issuer may agree that Cash-Collateral shall be held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations and provided further that to the extent that such Cash-Collateral was provided by the Borrower, such Cash Collateral shall remain subject to the security interest granted pursuant to the Transaction Documents.

[RESERVED]

ARTICLE IV

LOANS

Section 4.1. Loans. Prior to the occurrence of an Amortization Event, the outstanding principal amount of each Loan shall accrue Interest for each day during the related Interest Period at either the LIBO Rate or the Alternate Base Rate, as applicable, in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. Until the Borrower gives the required notice to the Agent of another Interest Rate in accordance with Section 4.3, the initial Interest Rate for any Loan shall be the LIBO Rate (unless the Default Rate is then applicable).

Section 4.2. Interest Payments. On each Settlement Date, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent (for the benefit of the Lenders) an aggregate amount equal to the accrued and unpaid Interest on each Loan for the entire Interest Period of each Loan in accordance with Article II.

Section 4.3. Loan Interest Rates. At the date of each borrowing of a Loan and at the commencement of each Interest Period (with the required prior notice described in this Section 4), the Borrower may select the LIBO Rate (subject to Section 4.4 below) or the Alternate Base

Rate as the Interest Rate applicable for each Loan during such Interest Period. The Borrower shall by 12:00 noon (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania time): (a) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the commencement of any Interest Period with respect to which the LIBO Rate is being requested as a new Interest Rate and (b) at least one (1) Business Day prior to the commencement of any Interest Period with respect to which the Alternate Base Rate is being requested as a new Interest Rate, give the Agent irrevocable notice of the new Interest Rate for the Loan associated with such new Interest Period and the duration of such Interest Period.

Section 4.4. Suspension of the LIBO Rate. (a) If any Lender notifies the Agent that it has determined that funding its Loans at a LIBO Rate would violate any applicable law, rule, regulation, or directive of any governmental or regulatory authority, whether or not having the force of law, or that (i) deposits of a type and maturity appropriate to match fund its Loan at such LIBO Rate are not available or (ii) such LIBO Rate does not accurately reflect the cost of acquiring or maintaining a Loan at such LIBO Rate, then the Agent will promptly notify the Borrower Parties and the Agent shall suspend the availability of such LIBO Rate and require the Borrower to select the Alternate Base Rate for any Loans accruing Interest at such LIBO Rate; provided, however, the failure to so notify any Borrower Party shall not result in the non-suspension of the availability of such LIBO Rate.

(b) Upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 4.4(a) with respect to any Lender, such Lender will, if requested by the Borrower, to the extent permissible under applicable law, endeavor in good faith to change the funding office at which it books its ratable share of any Loan accruing Interest at a LIBO Rate hereunder if such change would make it lawful for such Lender to fund such Loan at a LIBO Rate; provided, however, that such change may be made in such manner that such Lender, in its sole and reasonable determination, suffers no unreimbursed cost or expense or any disadvantage whatsoever.

Section 4.5. Default Rate. From and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, all Loans shall accrue Interest at the Default Rate.

ARTICLE V

generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).

(g) Accuracy of Information. All information (other than any projection or other forward-looking information) heretofore furnished by such Borrower Party or any of its Affiliates to the Agent, the LC Issuer or any Lender for purposes of or in connection with this Agreement, any of the other Transaction Documents or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby is, and all such information (other than any projection or other forward-looking information) hereafter furnished by such Borrower Party or any of its Affiliates to the Agent, the LC Issuer or any Lender will be, true and accurate in every material respect on the date such information is stated or certified (unless such representations and warranties are made as of an earlier date) and does not and will not contain any material misstatement of fact.

(h) Use of Proceeds. No proceeds of any Loan or Letter of Credit hereunder will be used by such Borrower Party (i) for a purpose that violates, or would be inconsistent with, (A) Section 7.2(e) of this Agreement or (B) Regulation T, U or X promulgated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System from time to time or (ii) to acquire any security in any transaction which is subject to Section 12, 13 or 14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended other than the repurchase of equity securities of the Parent so long as such repurchase does not violate Sections 12, 13 or 14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

There have been duly filed all financing statements or other similar instruments or documents necessary under the UCC (or any comparable law) of all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect the Borrower’s ownership interest in each Purchased Receivable and all other items of Collateral in which an interest therein may be perfected by the filing of a financing statement under Article 9 of the UCC and proceeds of the foregoing.

There have been duly filed all financing statements or other similar instruments or documents necessary under the applicable UCC (or any comparable law) of all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect the Agent’s (on behalf of the Secured Parties) security interest in the Purchased Receivables

and the Letter of Credit Collateral, and all other items of Collateral in which a security interest therein may be perfected by the filing of a financing statement under Article 9 of the applicable UCC and the proceeds of the foregoing. Such Borrower Party’s jurisdiction of organization is a jurisdiction whose law generally requires information concerning the existence of a nonpossessory security interest to be made generally available in a filing, record or registration system as a condition or result of such a security interest’s obtaining priority over the rights of a lien creditor which respect to collateral.

The names and addresses of all Collection Banks, together with the account numbers of the Collection Accounts at each Collection Bank and the post office box number of each Lock-Box, are listed on Exhibit IV (as the same may be updated from time to time in accordance with Section 7.1(m) hereof).

(q) Compliance with Law. Such Borrower Party has complied in all respects with all applicable laws, rules, regulations, orders, writs, judgments, injunctions, decrees or awards to which it may be subject, including, without limitation, all Anti-Corruption Laws and applicable Sanctions, except where the failure to so comply could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Purchased Receivable, together with the Contract related thereto, does not contravene any laws, rules or regulations applicable thereto (including, without limitation, laws, rules and regulations relating to truth in lending, fair credit billing, fair credit reporting, equal credit opportunity, fair debt collection practices and privacy), and no part of such Contract is in violation of any such law, rule or regulation, except where such contravention or violation could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(s) Payments to Originator. With respect to each Purchased Receivable transferred to the Borrower under the Receivables Sale Agreement, the Borrower has given reasonably equivalent value to the applicable Originator in consideration therefor and such transfer was not made for or on account of an antecedent debt.

(t) Enforceability of Contracts. Each Contract with respect to each Purchased Receivable is effective to create, and has created, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the related Obligor to pay the Outstanding Balance of the Purchased Receivable created thereunder and any accrued interest 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).

(u) Eligible Receivables. Each Receivable included in the Net Pool Balance as an Eligible Receivable on the date of any Monthly Report or Weekly Report was an Eligible Receivable on such date.

(v) Facility Limit and Maximum Loan Amount. Immediately after giving effect to each Credit Extension hereunder, the Aggregate Credit Exposure is less than or equal to the lesser of (i) the Facility Limit and (ii) the Net Pool Balance minus the Required Reserve.

(w) Accounting. The Borrower Parties will treat the transfer of the Purchased Receivables to the Borrower pursuant to the Receivables Sale Agreement as an absolute conveyance and true sale on their respective books and records; provided that, the notes to the consolidated financial statements of the Parent and its consolidated Subsidiaries will disclose that the Purchased Receivables have been purchased by the Borrower in transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Receivables Sale Agreement.

(x) Separateness. From the date of the formation of the Borrower, the Borrower has complied with all provisions of Section 7.1(i) applicable to it.

(i) hold itself out to the public and conduct its own business in its own name and require that all full-time employees of the Borrower, if any, identify themselves as such and not as employees of any Originator (including, without limitation, by means of providing appropriate employees with business or identification cards identifying such employees as the Borrower’s employees);

(viii) prepare its financial statements separately from those of each Originator and insure that any consolidated financial statements of the Parent or any Affiliate thereof that include the Borrower and that are filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other governmental agency have notes clearly stating that the Borrower is a separate legal entity and that its assets will be available only to satisfy the claims of the creditors of the Borrower;

under the Receivables Sale Agreement, and (D) the incurrence of operating expenses in the ordinary course of business of the type otherwise contemplated by this Agreement;

(xiii) maintain the effectiveness of, and continue to perform under the Receivables Sale Agreement, such that it does not amend, restate, supplement, cancel, terminate or otherwise modify the Receivables Sale Agreement, or give any consent, waiver, directive or approval thereunder or waive any default, action, omission or breach under the Receivables Sale Agreement or otherwise grant any indulgence thereunder, without (in each case) the prior written consent of the Agent;

(xiv) maintain its entity separateness such that it does not merge or consolidate with or into, or convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of (whether in one transaction or in a series of transactions, and except as otherwise contemplated herein) all or substantially all of its assets (whether now owned or hereafter acquired) to, or acquire all or substantially all of the assets of, any Person, nor at any time create, have, acquire, maintain or hold any interest in any Subsidiary other than with respect to the merger effected February 1, 2015, of ABF Freight Funding LLC and ArcBest Funding LLC;

ARTICLE VIII

ADMINISTRATION AND COLLECTION

Section 8.1. Designation of Servicer. (a) The servicing, administration and collection of the Purchased Receivables shall be conducted by such Person (the “Servicer”) so designated from time to time in accordance with this Section 8.1. Until the Agent gives notice to the Parent (in accordance with this Section 8.1) of the designation of a new Servicer, the Parent is hereby designated as, and hereby agrees to perform the duties and obligations of, the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof. The Agent may (with the consent of the Majority Lenders) and shall (at the direction of the Majority Lenders), upon the occurrence of an Unmatured Servicer Termination Event (other than one arising as a result of a Voluntary Termination, unless another Unmatured Servicer Termination Event occurs), designate as Servicer any Person to succeed the Parent or any successor Servicer.

(b) Without the prior written consent of the Agent and the Majority Lenders, the Parent shall not be permitted to delegate any of its duties or responsibilities as Servicer to any Person other than (i) the Borrower, (ii) an Originator, and (iii) with respect to certain Defaulted Receivables, outside collection agencies in accordance with its customary practices. Neither the Borrower nor any Originator shall be permitted to further delegate to any other Person any of the duties or responsibilities of the Servicer delegated to it by the Parent. If at any time the Agent shall designate as Servicer any Person other than the Parent, all duties and responsibilities theretofore delegated by the Parent to the Borrower or any Originator may, at the discretion of

the Agent and the Majority Lenders, be terminated forthwith on notice given by the Agent to the Parent and to the Borrower and the Originators.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing subsection (b): (i) the Parent shall be and remain primarily liable to the Agent, the LC Issuer and the Lenders for the full and prompt performance of all duties and responsibilities of the Servicer hereunder and (ii) the Agent, the LC Issuer and the Lenders shall be entitled to deal exclusively with the Parent in matters relating to the discharge by the Servicer of its duties and responsibilities hereunder. The Agent, the LC Issuer and the Lenders shall not be required to give notice, demand or other communication to any Person other than the Parent in order for communication to the Servicer and its sub-servicer or other delegate with respect thereto to be accomplished. The Parent, at all times that it is the Servicer, shall be responsible for providing any sub-servicer or other delegate of the Servicer with any notice given to the Servicer under this Agreement.

Section 8.2. Duties of Servicer. (a) The Servicer shall take or cause to be taken all such actions as may be reasonably necessary or advisable to collect each Receivable from time to time, all in accordance with applicable laws, rules and regulations, with reasonable care and diligence, and in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policies.

(b) The Servicer shall cause (i) all Collections from all Lock-Boxes to be directly deposited into a Collection Account, (ii) all amounts in each Segregated Account to be deposited into the Master Collection Accounts within two (2) Business Days following such funds becoming available to the party in whose name such Segregated Account is held, (iii) all amounts in each Collection Account (other than the Master Collection Accounts) to be deposited into the Master Collection Accounts within two (2) Business Days following receipt thereof and (iv) each Collection Account to be subject at all times to a Collection Account Agreement that is in full force and effect. In the case of any remittances received in any Lock-Box, Segregated Account or Collection Account that shall have been identified, to the satisfaction of the Servicer, to not constitute Collections or other proceeds of the Receivables or the Related Security, the Servicer shall promptly remit such items to the Person identified to it as being the owner of such remittances. From and after the date the Agent delivers to any Collection Bank a Collection Notice pursuant to Section 8.3, the Agent may request that the Servicer, and the Servicer thereupon promptly shall instruct all Obligors with respect to the Purchased Receivables, to remit all payments thereon to a new depositary account specified by the Agent and, at all times thereafter, the Borrower and the Servicer shall not deposit or otherwise credit, and shall not take any affirmative action to permit or assist any other Person to deposit or otherwise credit to such new depositary account any cash or payment item other than Collections.

(c) The Servicer shall administer the Collections in accordance with the procedures described herein and in Article II. The Servicer shall set aside and hold in trust for the account of the Borrower and the Lenders their respective shares of the Collections in accordance with Article II. The Servicer shall, upon the request of the Agent during the occurrence of an Unmatured Amortization Event, segregate, in a manner acceptable to the Agent, all cash, checks and other instruments received by it from time to time constituting Collections from the general funds of the Servicer or the Borrower prior to the remittance thereof in accordance with Article II. If the Servicer shall be required to segregate Collections pursuant to the preceding sentence,

the Servicer shall segregate and deposit with a bank designated by the Agent such allocable share of Collections of Purchased Receivables set aside for the Lenders on the first Business Day following receipt by the Servicer of such Collections, duly endorsed or with duly executed instruments of transfer.

(d) The Servicer may, in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policies, extend the maturity of any Receivable or adjust the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable as the Servicer determines to be appropriate to maximize Collections thereof; provided, however, that such extension or adjustment shall not alter the status of such Receivable as a Delinquent Receivable or Defaulted Receivable or limit the rights of the Agent or the Lenders under this Agreement. The Agent shall have the right to direct the Servicer to commence or settle any legal action with respect to any Receivable (whether or not such Receivable is a Defaulted or Delinquent Receivable) of an Obligor which is an Obligor under any Defaulted or Delinquent Receivable; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not be required to comply with such direction if the Borrower determines, in its reasonable business judgment, that it is preferable not to enforce or settle any Delinquent or Defaulted Receivable, in which case such Defaulted or Delinquent Receivable (and, at the option of the Agent, any other Receivable of such Obligor) shall be treated as a Deemed Collection, and payment shall be made thereon in a manner consistent with Section 1.4.

(e) The Servicer shall hold in trust for the Borrower and the Agent and the Lenders all Records that (i) evidence or relate to the Purchased Receivables, the related Contracts (other than the Master Contracts) and Related Security or (ii) are otherwise necessary or desirable to collect the Purchased Receivables (other than the Master Contracts) and shall, as soon as practicable upon demand of the Agent during the occurrence of an Unmatured Servicer Termination Event or Unmatured Amortization Event, deliver or make available to the Agent all such Records (other than any Record that contains confidentiality provisions (except for Records as to which the related Obligor has consented to such delivery) that cannot be satisfied by the execution and delivery of a confidentiality agreement), at a place selected by the Agent. The Servicer shall, as soon as practicable following receipt thereof turn over to the Borrower any cash collections or other cash proceeds received with respect to Indebtedness owing to the Borrower not constituting Purchased Receivables. The Servicer shall, from time to time at the request of the Agent or any Lender, furnish to the Lenders (promptly after any such request) a calculation of the amounts set aside for the Lenders pursuant to Article II.

(f) Any payment made by an Obligor that is not specified by such Obligor to relate to a particular invoice or other obligation of such Obligor to the applicable Originator or the Borrower, except as otherwise required by contract or law and unless otherwise instructed by the Agent, shall be applied as a Collection of any Receivable of such Obligor (starting with the oldest such Receivable) to the extent of any amounts then due and payable thereunder before being applied to any other receivable or other obligation of such Obligor.

Section 8.3. Collection Notices. The Agent is authorized at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Amortization Event to date and to deliver to the Collection Banks the Collection Notices. The Borrower hereby transfers to the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders, effective when the Agent delivers such notice, the exclusive dominion

and control of each Lock-Box and the Collection Accounts. In case any authorized signatory of the Borrower whose signature appears on a Collection Account Agreement shall cease to have such authority before the delivery of such notice, such Collection Notice shall nevertheless be valid as if such authority had remained in force. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Agent, and agrees that the Agent shall be entitled (a) at any time after delivery of the Collection Notices, to endorse the Borrower’s name on checks and other instruments representing Collections, (b) at any time after the occurrence of an Amortization Event, to enforce the Purchased Receivables, the related Contracts (other than any Master Contract which contains a prohibition against the assignment thereof) and the Related Security, and (c) at any time after the occurrence of an Amortization Event, to take such action as shall be necessary or desirable to cause all cash, checks and other instruments constituting Collections of Purchased Receivables to come into the possession of the Agent rather than the Borrower.

Section 8.4. Responsibilities of the Borrower. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the exercise by the Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, of the Agent’s rights hereunder shall not release the Servicer, any Originator, or the Borrower from any of their duties or obligations with respect to any Purchased Receivables or under the related Contracts. The Agent, the LC Issuer and the Lenders shall have no obligation or liability with respect to any Receivables or related Contracts, nor shall any of them be obligated to perform the obligations of the Borrower or any Originator thereunder.

Section 8.5. Receivables Reports. (a) Monthly. The Servicer shall prepare and forward to the Agent (i) on each Monthly Reporting Date, a Monthly Report and an electronic file of the data contained therein, and (ii) at such times as the Agent may request upon reasonable advance notice, a listing by Obligor of all Purchased Receivables together with an aging of such Receivables.

(b) Weekly. Additionally, the Servicer may, but shall not be required to, prepare and forward to the Agent a Weekly Report showing calculations as of the end of each prior week on each Weekly Reporting Date.

Section 8.6. Servicing Fee. As compensation for the Servicer’s servicing activities on their behalf, the Servicer shall be paid the Servicing Fee in arrears on each Settlement Date out of Collections.

Section 8.7. Currency Conversion. With respect to Purchased Receivables denominated in Canadian Dollars, the Servicer shall convert all Collections received in Canadian Dollars to U.S. Dollars at the applicable Exchange Rate prior to deposit in a Collection Account. Each Exchange Rate notified by the Servicer to the Agent in a Monthly Report will be determined by the Servicer in good faith.

Section 8.8. Limitation on Activities of Servicer in Canada. Notwithstanding anything contained herein or anything contained in any other document delivered in connection herewith (except to the extent permitted hereunder), the Servicer (including any other Person to whom the Servicer delegates any of its responsibilities in accordance with Section 8.1 hereof) shall not while acting in Canada, and shall not (and has no authority to) delegate to any Person acting in

Canada the authority to, or permit any such Person to, enter into contracts or other agreements in the name of the Servicer, the Agent, the LC Issuer or any Lender; and the Servicer (or any such delegate) is not permitted to (nor has authority to) establish an office or other place of business of the Servicer in Canada. To the extent any responsibilities of any Person acting in Canada (including for greater certainty a Servicer employee or servant) to whom the Servicer has delegated responsibilities in respect of the Purchased Receivables, the Related Security and the Collections hereunder or under any other Transaction Document involve or require such Person to enter a contract or other agreement in the name of the Seller, the Agent, any Lender or the LC Issuer, such servicing responsibility shall be fulfilled solely by, or upon specific approval of, the Servicer, and such Person is authorized to take such action or give such approval, but only from a place of business outside Canada, and such Person may not delegate such responsibility except upon the consent or the direction of the Agent (and then only subject to these same restrictions). Nonetheless, a Person acting in Canada may engage in discussions with any Obligor regarding such matters and negotiate the terms of any such arrangement subject to the understanding that substantive and final approval of the terms and execution of any such arrangement referred to in the preceding two sentences may only be made by, or upon specific approval of, a Person not located in Canada from a place of business outside Canada and authorized hereunder in accordance with the foregoing and any such arrangement so negotiated by a Person acting in Canada shall not be binding until such final approval is so provided by such other Person. For purposes hereof, but without limitation, a Person shall be considered to be located in Canada if such Person is a resident of Canada for purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) or has a permanent establishment in Canada for purposes of the Canada-U.S. Income Tax Convention.

(vi) the commingling of Collections of Purchased Receivables at any time with other funds;

(vii) any investigation, litigation or proceeding arising from this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, the transactions contemplated hereby, the use of the proceeds of any Loan, the Pledged Assets or any other investigation, litigation or proceeding relating to the Borrower, the Servicer or any Originator in which any Indemnified Party becomes involved as a result of any of the transactions contemplated hereby (other than any litigation or proceeding in which an Indemnified Party is a plaintiff or complaining party and a Borrower Party is a defendant and such Indemnified Party shall not prevail in such litigation or proceeding);

(viii) any inability to litigate any claim against any Obligor in respect of any Receivable as a result of such Obligor being immune from civil and commercial law and suit on the grounds of sovereignty or otherwise from any legal action, suit or proceeding;

(xi) any failure to vest and maintain vested in the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders, or to transfer to the Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a valid first priority perfected security interests in the Pledged Assets, free and clear of any Adverse Claim (except as created by the Transaction Documents), or any failure to vest and maintain vested in the Agent for the benefit of the LC Issuer, or to transfer to the Agent for the benefit of the LC Issuer, a valid first priority perfected security interests in the Letter of Credit Collateral, free and clear of any Adverse Claim (except as created by the Transaction Documents);

(xii) the failure to have filed, or any delay in filing, financing statements or other similar instruments or documents under the UCC of any applicable jurisdiction or other applicable laws with respect to any Pledged Assets or the Letter of Credit Collateral, and the proceeds thereof, whether at the time of any Loan or at any subsequent time;

(xviii) any provision in any Contract that either (i) permits or provides for any reduction in the Outstanding Balance of the Receivable created under such Contract and any accrued interest thereon or (ii) could otherwise materially hinder the ability to receive Collections with respect to such Receivable.

Section 10.2. Increased Cost and Reduced Return. If after the date hereof, the LC Issuer or any Lender shall be charged any fee, expense or increased cost (other than taxes) on account of the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation (including any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy) or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency or on account of the adoption of any change in (or change in the interpretation of) any generally accepted accounting principles or regulatory accounting principles applicable to any Lender or the LC Issuer (a “Regulatory Change”): (a) that subjects (or has the effect of subjecting) any Lender or the LC Issuer to any charge or withholding on or with respect to this Agreement or a Lender’s or the LC Issuer’s obligations under this Agreement, or on or with respect to the Purchased Receivables, or (b) that imposes, modifies or deems applicable (or has the effect of imposing, modifying or deeming applicable) any reserve, assessment, insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of any Lender or the LC Issuer, or credit extended by any Lender pursuant to this Agreement or Letter of Credit issued by the LC Issuer pursuant to this Agreement (c) that imposes (or has the effect of imposing) any other condition the result of which is to increase the cost to any Lender or the LC Issuer of performing its obligations under this Agreement, or to reduce the rate of return on any Lender’s or the LC Issuer’s capital as a consequence of its obligations under this Agreement, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by any Lender or the LC Issuer under this Agreement or to require any payment calculated by reference to the amount of interests or loans held or interest received by it, then, promptly upon demand by the Agent, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent, for the benefit of the LC Issuer and/or any Lender, such amounts charged to the LC Issuer and/or any

Lender or such amounts to otherwise compensate the LC Issuer and/or any Lender for such increase costs or such reduction; provided, however, that the LC Issuer and the Lenders shall not be entitled to any compensation for any increased costs under this Section 10.2 unless the Agent or the LC Issuer or a Lender delivers a reasonably detailed certificate to the Borrower setting forth the amounts and the basis for such increased costs. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be a “Regulatory Change”, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.

Neither the Borrower nor any other Borrower Party shall be required to compensate any Lender or the LC Issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.2 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that the LC Issuer or such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Regulatory Change giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of the LC Issuer’s or such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor.

Section 10.3. Other Costs and Expenses. The Borrower shall pay to the Agent, the LC Issuer and the Lenders promptly on demand all reasonable costs and out-of-pocket expenses in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery and administration of the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby, including without limitation, the cost to audit the books, records and procedures of the Borrower, reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of legal counsel for the LC Issuer, the Lenders and the Agent with respect thereto and with respect to advising the LC Issuer, the Lenders and the Agent as to their respective rights and remedies under this Agreement.

Section 11.1. Authorization and Action. Each of the LC Issuer and the Lenders hereby appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Agent shall not have any duties other than those expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents, and no implied obligations or liabilities shall be read into any Transaction Document, or otherwise exist, against the Agent. The Agent does not assume, nor shall it be deemed to have assumed, any obligation to, or relationship of trust or agency with, the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof, the LC Issuer or any Lender except for any obligations expressly set forth herein. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, (a) in no event shall the Agent ever be required to take any action which exposes the Agent to personal liability (unless the Agent is satisfactorily indemnified for such liability as determined by the Agent, in its reasonable discretion) or which is contrary to any provision of any Transaction Document or applicable law and (b) the Agent agrees to act as the U.S. federal withholding tax agent in respect of all amounts payable by it under any Transaction Document.

Section 11.2. Agent’s Reliance, Etc.. Neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them as Agent under or in connection with this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Agent’s servicing, administering or collecting Purchased Receivables in the event it replaces the Servicer in such capacity pursuant to Section 8.1), in the absence of its or their own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent: (a) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the LC Issuer, any Lender or the Servicer), independent certified public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (b) makes no warranty or representation to the LC Issuer or any Lender (whether written or oral) and shall not be responsible to the LC Issuer nor any Lender for any statements, warranties or representations (whether written or oral) made by any other party in or in connection with this Agreement; (c) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement on the part of the LC Issuer or any Lender or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of the LC Issuer or any Lender; (d) shall not be responsible to the LC Issuer or any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or

Section 11.3. Agent and Affiliates. With respect to any Credit Extension or interests therein owned by the LC Issuer or any Lender that is also the Agent, such Person shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as the LC Issuer or any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent. The Agent and any of its Affiliates may generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof and any Person who may do business with or own securities of the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof, all as if the Agent were not the Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to any other Secured Party.

Section 11.4. Indemnification of Agent. Each Lender agrees to indemnify the Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof), ratably according to the respective Percentage of such Lender, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any action taken or omitted by the Agent under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

The Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

Section 11.6. Action or Inaction by Agent. The Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to take action under any Transaction Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Lenders or the Majority Lenders as the case may be, and assurance of its indemnification by the Lenders, as it deems appropriate. The Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document in accordance with a request or at the direction of the Lenders or the Majority Lenders, as the case may be, and such request or direction and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon the LC Issuer and the Lenders. The LC Issuer, the Lenders and the Agent agree that unless any action to be taken by the Agent under a Transaction Document (i) specifically requires the advice or concurrence of all Lenders or (ii) may be taken by the Agent alone or without any advice or concurrence of any Lender, then the Agent may take action based upon the advice or concurrence of the Majority Lenders.

Section 11.7. Notice of Events of Default; Action by Agent. The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Unmatured Amortization Event or Amortization Event unless the Agent has received notice from the LC Issuer, any Lender, the

Servicer or the Borrower stating that an Unmatured Amortization Event or Amortization Event has occurred hereunder and describing such Unmatured Amortization Event or Amortization Event. If the Agent receives such a notice, it shall promptly give notice thereof to the LC Issuer and each Lender.

Section 11.8. Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Parties. Each of the LC Issuer and the Lenders expressly acknowledges that neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Agent. Each of the LC Issuer and the Lenders represents and warrants to the Agent that, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, the LC Issuer or any Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, it has made and will continue to make its own appraisal of an investigation into the business, operations, property, prospects, financial and other conditions and creditworthiness of the Borrower, the Parent, each Originator or the Servicer and the Purchased Receivables and its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to take, or omit, action under any Transaction Document. Except for items expressly required to be delivered under any Transaction Document by the Agent to the LC Issuer or any Lender, the Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide the LC Issuer or any Lender with any information concerning the Borrower, the Parent, any Originator or the Servicer that comes into the possession of the Agent or any of its directors, officers, agents, employees, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.

Section 11.9. Successor Agent. (a) The Agent may, upon at least thirty (30) days’ notice to the Borrower, the Servicer and each Lender, resign as Agent. Except as provided below, such resignation shall not become effective until a successor Agent is appointed by the Majority Lenders as a successor Agent and has accepted such appointment.

If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders within thirty (30) days after the departing Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, the departing Agent may, on behalf of the Secured Parties, petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Agent.

(b) Upon such acceptance of its appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, duties, and obligations of the resigning Agent, and the resigning Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Transaction Documents. After any resigning Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of Article X and this Article XI shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Agent.

ARTICLE XII

Each Lender shall have the right at its own cost to grant participations (to be evidenced by one or more agreements or certificates of participation) in the Loans made or the Commitment held by such Lender at any time and from time to time to one or more other Persons; provided that no such participation shall relieve such Lender of any of its obligations under this Agreement, and, provided, further that no such participant shall have any rights under this Agreement except as provided in this Section, and the Agent shall have no obligation or responsibility to such participant. Any agreement pursuant to which such participation is granted shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents including, without limitation, the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Transaction Documents, except that such agreement may provide that such Lender will not agree to any modification, amendment or waiver of the Transaction Documents that would reduce the amount of or postpone any fixed date for payment of any Loan in which such participant has an interest. Any party to which such a participation has been granted shall have the benefits of Article 10 (solely to the extent such cost or expense accrues only after such participation is made) and Section 1.3 hereof.

(a) Each Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i) Minimum Amounts. (A) In the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of such Lender’s Commitment and the Loans or in the case of an assignment to an Affiliate of such Lender, no minimum amount need be assigned; and (B) in any case not described in subsection (a)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Commitment or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of such Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Agent or, if “Effective Date” is specified in the Assignment and Acceptance, as of the Effective Date) shall not be less than $5,000,000, unless each of the Agent and, so long as no Amortization Event has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed);

(iii) Required Consents.

(a) The consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) an Amortization Event has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to an Affiliate of such Lender (provided such assignment does not result in any liability, cost or expense for which the Borrower is liable or must reimburse or indemnify such assignee Lender pursuant to Section 10); and

Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 12.2 hereof.

(b) Each Lender may at any time pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any such pledge or grant to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or grant of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or grant of a security interest shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or secured party for such Lender as a party hereto; provided further, however, the right of any such pledgee or grantee (other than any Federal Reserve Bank) to further transfer all or any portion of the rights pledged or granted to it, whether by means of foreclosure or otherwise, shall be at all times subject to the terms of this Agreement.

Section 12.4. Prohibition on Assignments by the Borrower Parties. No Borrower Party may assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of each of the Agent and the Lenders.

Each such notice or other communication shall be effective (a) if given by telecopy, upon the receipt thereof, (b) if given by mail, three (3) Business Days after the time such communication is deposited in the mail with first class postage prepaid, (c) if given by electronic mail, upon sender’s receipt of an acknowledgment from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, return e-mail or other written acknowledgment) or (d) if given by any other means, when received at the address specified in this Section 13.2. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Agent to effect Loans and Interest Period and Interest Rate selections based on telephonic notices made by any Person whom the Agent in good faith believes to be acting on behalf of the Borrower. The Borrower agrees to deliver promptly to the Agent a written confirmation of each telephonic notice signed by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower; provided, however, the absence of such confirmation shall not affect the validity of such notice. If the written confirmation differs from the action taken by the Agent, the records of the Agent shall govern absent manifest error.

Section 13.3. Protection of Agent’s Security Interest. (a) The Borrower agrees that from time to time, at its expense, it will promptly execute and deliver all instruments and documents, and take all actions, that may be necessary or desirable, or that the Agent may request, to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the Agent’s security interest in the Pledged Assets and the Letter of Credit Collateral, or to enable the Agent or any Lender to exercise and enforce their rights and remedies hereunder; provided, however, that unless and until an Amortization Event or an Unmatured Amortization Event has occurred, no Borrower Party shall be required to take any actions to establish, maintain or perfect the Borrower’s ownership interest in the Related Security other than the filing of financing statements under the UCC of all appropriate jurisdictions. During the occurrence and continuance of an Unmatured Amortization Event or an Amortization Event, the Agent may, or the Agent may direct the Borrower or the Servicer to, notify the Obligors of Purchased Receivables, at the Borrower’s expense, of the ownership or security interests of the Lenders under this Agreement. During the occurrence and continuance of an Unmatured Amortization Event or an Amortization Event, the Agent may direct the Borrower or the Servicer to direct (and, if the Borrower or the Servicer fails to do so, the Agent may direct) that payments of all amounts due or that become due under any or all Purchased Receivables be made directly to an account specified by the Agent or its designee which may be an account of the Agent or its designee. The Borrower or the Servicer (as applicable) shall, at the Agent’s request, withhold the identities of the Agent and the Lenders in any such notification.

(b) If any Borrower Party fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder, the Agent, the LC Issuer or any Lender may (but shall not be required to) upon notice to such Borrower

Party perform, or cause performance of, such obligations, and the Agent’s, the LC Issuer’s or such Lender’s costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the Borrower as provided in Section 10.3. Each Borrower Party (i) irrevocably authorizes and appoints the Agent as its attorney-in-fact, at any time and from time to time in the sole discretion of the Agent, to execute on behalf of the Borrower as debtor and to file financing statements and other filing or recording documents necessary or desirable in the Agent’s sole discretion, in such offices and in such form, including carbon, photographic or other reproduction, as the Agent reasonably determines appropriate to perfect or maintain the perfection and priority of Agent’s interest in the Purchased Receivables and Related Security (including any amendments thereto, or continuation or termination statements thereof) including, without limitation, financing statements naming Borrower as debtor and describing the collateral as “all assets” or “all personal property of the debtor, whether now owned and existing or hereafter arising or acquired”, (ii) acknowledges and agrees that it is not authorized to, and will not, file financing statements or other filing or recording documents with respect to the Purchased Receivables or Related Security (including any amendments thereto, or continuation or termination statements thereof), without the express prior written approval by the Agent, consenting to the form and substance of such filing or recording document, and (iii) approves, authorizes and ratifies any filings or recordings made by or on behalf of the Agent in connection with the perfection of the security interests in favor of the Borrower or the Agent. The appointment of Agent as attorney-in-fact as described herein is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

Section 13.4. Confidentiality. (a) Each of the Borrower Parties shall maintain and shall cause each of its employees and officers to maintain the confidentiality of any confidential or proprietary information with respect to the Agent, the LC Issuer and the Lenders and their respective businesses obtained by it or them in connection with the structuring, negotiating and execution of the transactions contemplated herein, except that the Borrower Parties and their respective officers and employees may disclose such information to such Borrower Party’s directors, external accountants and attorneys and in accordance with any applicable law, rule, regulation, direction, request or order of any judicial, administrative or regulatory authority or proceeding (whether or not having the force or effect of law).

(b) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower Parties hereby consent to the disclosure of any nonpublic information with respect to it (i) to the Agent, the LC Issuer or the Lenders by each other, and (ii) by the Agent, the LC Issuer or the Lenders to any prospective or actual assignee or participant of any of them and to any officers, directors, employees, outside accountants and attorneys of any of the foregoing, provided that each such Person is informed of the confidential nature of such information and the Agent receives a confidentiality agreement from the recipients of such information on terms comparable to those required of the Lenders, the LC Issuer and the Agent hereunder with respect to such disclosed information. In addition, any Lender, the LC Issuer and the Agent may disclose any such nonpublic information in accordance with any law, rule, regulation, direction, request or order of any judicial, administrative or regulatory authority or proceedings (whether or not having the force or effect of law).

For purposes of this paragraph, the terms “tax treatment” and “tax structure” have the meanings specified in Treasury Regulation section 1.6011-4(c).

Section 13.5. Limitation of Liability. Except with respect to any claim arising out of the willful misconduct or gross negligence of any Lender, the LC Issuer or the Agent, no claim may be made by a Borrower Party or any other Person against any Lender, the LC Issuer or the Agent or their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, attorneys or agents for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages in respect of any claim for breach of contract or any other theory of liability arising out of or related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith; and the Borrower Parties hereby waive, release, and agree not to xxx upon any claim for any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

NOTHING HEREIN SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT OF THE AGENT OR ANY SECURED PARTY TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST ANY BORROWER PARTY IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING BY ANY BORROWER PARTY AGAINST THE AGENT OR ANY SECURED PARTY OR ANY AFFILIATE OF THE AGENT OR ANY SECURED PARTY INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENT EXECUTED BY SUCH BORROWER PARTY PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE BROUGHT ONLY IN A COURT IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK.

Section 13.12. Characterization; Security Interest. (a) It is the intention of the parties hereto that each Loan hereunder shall constitute and be treated as a secured loan. The Borrower shall be liable to the Lenders and the Agent for all representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities made by the Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and (ii) the transaction contemplated by this Agreement do not constitute and are not intended to result in an assumption by the Lenders or the Agent or any assignee thereof of any obligation of the Borrower or any Originator or any other person arising in connection with the Purchased Receivables, the Related Security, or the related Contracts, or any other obligations of the Borrower or any Originator. It is the intention of the parties hereto that for federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes the Lenders’ acquisition of their interests in the Purchased Receivables, Related Security and Collections shall be treated as a secured loan by the Lenders to the Borrower, and each party hereto agrees to characterize all Loans hereunder as secured loans on all tax returns filed by such party.

(b) In addition to any security interest or other interest which the Agent or the Secured Parties may from time to time acquire pursuant hereto, the Borrower hereby grants to the Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties a valid security interest in all of the Borrower’s right, title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in, to and under (i) all Purchased Receivables now existing or hereafter arising, (ii) the Collections as and when received, (iii) each Lock-Box and each Segregated Account, (iv) each Collection Account, (v) all Related Security, (vi) all other rights of the Borrower and payments relating to such Purchased Receivables, (vii) all proceeds of the foregoing, (viii) the Borrower’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Receivables Sale Agreement and (ix) all other assets of the Borrower (other than, in all cases, the Letter of Credit Collateral and the Parent Note) (collectively, the “Collateral”) prior to all other liens on and security interests therein to secure the prompt and complete payment of the Aggregate Unpaids. The Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, shall have, in addition to the rights and remedies that it may have under this Agreement, all other rights and remedies provided to a secured creditor under the applicable UCC and other applicable law, which rights and remedies shall be cumulative.

(c) In addition to any security interest or other interest which the Agent or the LC Issuer may from time to time acquire pursuant hereto, the Borrower hereby grants to the Agent for the benefit of the LC Issuer a valid security interest in all of the Borrower’s right, title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in, to and under (i) the Letter of Credit Collateral Account and all funds on deposit therein, together with all certificates and instruments, if any, from time to time evidencing such accounts and funds on deposit; (ii) all products and proceeds (including, without limitation, insurance proceeds) of, and additions, improvements and accessions to, and books and records describing or used in connection with, all and any of the property described above (items (i) and (ii) are collectively referred to as the “Letter of Credit Collateral”) prior to all other liens on and security interests therein to secure the prompt and complete payment of the LC Obligations. The Agent, on behalf of the LC Issuer, shall have, in addition to the rights and remedies that it may have under this Agreement, all other rights and remedies provided to a secured creditor under the applicable UCC and other applicable law, which rights and remedies shall be cumulative.

Section 13.13. Existing Letters of Credit. On the Closing Date, (i) each Existing Letter of Credit, to the extent outstanding, shall be automatically and without further action by the parties thereto shall be deemed to be Letters of Credit issued pursuant to Section 1.6 and subject to the provisions thereof, and for this purpose the fees specified in Section 1.6 shall be payable (in substitution for any fees set forth in the applicable letter of credit reimbursement agreements or applications relating to such Existing Letters of Credit) as if such Existing Letters of Credit had been issued on the Closing Date, (ii) the face amount of such Existing Letters of Credit shall be included in the calculation of LC Obligations and (iii) all liabilities of the Borrower, with respect to such Existing Letters of Credit shall constitute Aggregate Unpaids.

Section 13.14. Amendment and Restatement. Upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent hereto, this Agreement shall become effective and shall supersede all provisions of the Existing Loan Agreement as of such date. From and after the date hereof (a) all outstanding “Loans” and all interests in outstanding “Letters of Credit” under the Existing Loan Agreement shall remain outstanding as the initial Loans and Letters of Credit hereunder, (b) all references made to the Existing Loan Agreement in any Transaction Document or in any other instrument or document shall, without further action, be deemed to refer to this Agreement. This Agreement amends and restates the Existing Loan Agreement and is not intended to be or operate as a novation or an accord and satisfaction of the Existing Loan Agreement or the indebtedness, obligations and liabilities of the Borrower evidenced or provided for hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower agrees that notwithstanding the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the liens and security interests previously granted to the Agent pursuant to this Agreement shall be and remain in full force and effect and that any rights and remedies of the Agent hereunder and obligations of the Borrower hereunder shall be and remain in full force and effect, shall not be affected, impaired or discharged hereby and shall secure all of the Borrower’s indebtedness, obligations and liabilities to the Agent and PNC under the Existing Loan Agreement as amended and restated hereby. Without limiting the foregoing, the parties to this Agreement hereby acknowledge and agree that (i) the “Receivables Loan Agreement” referred to in the other Transaction Documents shall from and after the date hereof be deemed references to this Agreement.

Section 13.15. Equalization of Loans and Commitments. Upon the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 6.1 hereof, all loans outstanding under the Existing Loan Agreement shall remain outstanding as the initial borrowing of Loans under this Agreement and, in connection therewith, the Borrower shall be deemed to have prepaid all outstanding LIBO Loans on the Restatement Date. On the Restatement Date, the Lenders each agree to make such purchases and sales of interests in the outstanding Loans between themselves so that each Lender is then holding its relevant Percentage of outstanding Loans. Such purchases and sales shall be arranged through the Agent and each Lender hereby agrees to execute such further instruments and documents, if any, as the Agent may reasonably request in connection therewith.
