ARTICLE II

TERMS OF THE PURCHASES AND INVESTMENTS

SECTION 2.01. Purchase Facility.

(a) Investments Upon a request by the Seller pursuant to Section 2.02, and on the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth, the Conduit Purchasers, ratably, in accordance with the aggregate of the Commitments of the Related Committed Purchasers with respect to each such Conduit Purchaser, severally and not jointly, may, in their sole discretion, make payments of Capital to the Seller from time to time, and if and to the extent any Conduit Purchaser does not make any such requested payment of Capital or if any Group does not include a Conduit Purchaser, the Related Committed Purchaser(s) for such Conduit Purchaser or the


			35

742583266 14453710

Committed Purchaser for such Group, as the case may be, shall, ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments, severally and not jointly, make such payments of Capital to the Seller, in either case, from time to time during the period from the Closing Date to the Maturity Date. Each such payment of Capital by a Purchaser to the Seller shall constitute an Investment hereunder for all purposes. Under no circumstances shall any Purchaser be obligated to make any Investment to the extent that, after giving effect to such Investment and all other Investments being made on such date:

(i) the Aggregate Capital would exceed the Facility Limit;

(ii) the sum of (A) the Capital of such Purchaser, plus (B) the aggregate outstanding Capital of each other Purchaser in its Group, would exceed the Group Commitment of such Purchaser’s Group;

(iii) if such Purchaser is a Committed Purchaser, the aggregate outstanding Capital of such Committed Purchaser would exceed its Commitment; or

(iv) the Aggregate Capital would exceed the Capital Coverage Amount.

(b) Sale of Receivables and Other Sold Assets. In consideration of the Purchasers’ respective agreements to make Investments in accordance with the terms hereof, the Seller, on each Sale Date, hereby sells, assigns and transfers to the Administrative Agent (for the ratable benefit of the Purchasers according to their Capital as increased or reduced from time to time hereunder), all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under all of the following, whether now or hereafter owned, existing or arising (collectively, the “Sold Assets”): (i) all Sold Receivables, (ii) all Related Security with respect to such Sold Receivables, (iii) all Collections with respect to such Sold Receivables and (iv) all proceeds of the foregoing. Such sales, assignments and transfers by the Seller shall, in each case, occur and be deemed to occur for all purposes in accordance with the terms hereof automatically without further action, notice or consent of any party.

(c) Intended Characterization as a Purchase and Sale. It is the intention of the parties to this Agreement that the transfer and conveyance of the Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Sold Assets to the Administrative Agent (for the ratable benefit of the Purchasers according to their Capital as increased or reduced from time to time hereunder) on each Sale Date pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute a purchase and sale and not a pledge for security, and such purchase and sale of the Sold Assets hereunder shall be treated as a sale for all purposes (except as provided in Sections 2.01(d) and 13.14 and 4.03(i)). For the avoidance of doubt, this clause (c) shall not be construed to limit or otherwise modify Section 4.05 or any rights, interests, liabilities or obligations of any party thereunder.

(d) Obligations Not Assumed. Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to the contrary, the foregoing sale, assignment, transfer and conveyance set forth in Section 2.01(b) does not constitute, and is not intended to result in, the creation or an assumption by the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser of any obligation or liability of the Seller, any Originator, any Servicer, or any other Person under or in connection with all, or any portion of, any Sold Assets, all of which shall remain the obligations and liabilities of the Seller, the Originators, the Servicers and such other Persons, as applicable.

(e) Selection, Designation and Reporting of Sold Receivables. The Seller (or the U.S. Servicer on its behalf) shall select and identify from the Pool Receivables (other than Canadian Receivables) all Sold Receivables to be sold pursuant to Section 2.01(b) in its sole discretion; provided, however, that (i) the Seller shall select Sold Receivables from the Pool


			36

742583266 14453710

Receivables, and the Seller shall transfer pursuant to Section 2.01(b) 100% of its interest in such Sold Receivables, and (ii) the Seller shall not permit the aggregate Outstanding Balance of Sold Receivables to exceed the Aggregate Capital at any time. The Seller shall maintain (or cause a Servicer to maintain) books and records sufficient to readily identify the Sold Receivables. The Seller and a Servicer shall cause (i) all Sold Receivables to be identified on each Investment Request in accordance with Section 2.02(a) and (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Balance of each Obligor’s Sold Receivables to be identified on each Information Package delivered hereunder.

SECTION 2.02. Making Investments; Return of Capital. (a) Each Investment hereunder shall be made on at least one (1) Business Day’s prior written request from the Seller to the Administrative Agent and each Group Agent in the form of an Investment Request attached hereto as Exhibit A. Each such request for an Investment shall be made no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on a Business Day (it being understood that any such request made after such time shall be deemed to have been made on the following Business Day) and shall specify (i) the amount of the Investment(s) requested (which shall (x) not be less than $1,000,000 and shall be an integral multiple of $100,000 and (y) not cause the aggregate Outstanding Balance of all Sold Receivables (after giving effect to the addition of Pool Receivables to the Sold Receivables in connection with such Investment) to (A) exceed the Aggregate Capital or (B) be less than the Aggregate Capital by $1,000,000 or more), (ii) the allocation of such amount among the Groups (which shall be ratable based on the Group Commitments), (iii) the account to which the proceeds of such Investment shall be distributed, (iv) the date such requested Investment is to be made (which shall be a Business Day) and (v) all Pool Receivables that are or, effective upon the making of such Investment, will be, Sold Receivables.

(b) On the date of each Investment, the Purchasers shall, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Article V and in accordance with the other conditions set forth in this Article II, make available to the Seller in same day funds an aggregate amount equal to the amount of such Investments requested, at the account set forth in the related Investment Request.

(c) Each Committed Purchaser’s obligation shall be several, such that the failure of any Committed Purchaser to make available to the Seller any funds in connection with any Investment shall not relieve any other Committed Purchaser of any obligation hereunder to make funds available on the date such Investments are requested (it being understood, that no Committed Purchaser shall be responsible for the failure of any other Committed Purchaser to make funds available to the Seller in connection with any Investment hereunder).

(d) The Seller shall return in full the outstanding Capital of each Purchaser on the Seller Obligations Final Due Date. Prior thereto, the Seller shall on each Settlement Date, reduce the outstanding Capital of the Purchasers to the extent required under Section 3.01 in accordance with such Section. Without limiting the foregoing, on each Settlement Date the Seller shall be obligated (without regard to the amount of Collections then available) to reduce the Capital of the Purchasers to the extent necessary to cause no Capital Coverage Deficit (determined using the Capital Coverage Amount calculated as of the last day of the preceding Fiscal Month assuming that the amount described in clause (a)(ii) of the definition of “Capital Coverage Amount” is zero) to exist. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller, in its discretion, shall have the right to make a reduction, in whole or in part, of the outstanding Capital of the Purchasers (together with any accrued Yield and Fees in respect of such reduction in Capital): (i) on any Business Day upon two (2) Business Days’ prior written notice (each, a “Reduction Notice”) thereof to the Administrative Agent and each Group Agent; provided, however, that each such reduction in Capital shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of $1,000,000 and shall be an integral multiple of $100,000 or (ii) within the same Business Day if requested by 10:00 a.m. (New York City time), or on the following Business Day if requested after such time, and


			37

742583266 14453710

without any minimum amount requirement, for the purpose of curing any Capital Coverage Deficit.

(e) The Seller may, at any time upon at least fifteen (15) days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and each Group Agent, terminate the Facility Limit in whole or ratably reduce the Facility Limit in part; provided, however, that no such reduction shall reduce the Facility Limit to an amount less than the Aggregate Capital at such time (after giving effect to any reduction of the Aggregate Capital pursuant to clause (f) below). Each partial reduction in the Facility Limit shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of $2,000,000 and shall be an integral multiple of $100,000, and no such reduction (other than a reduction of the Facility Limit to zero) shall reduce the Facility Limit to an amount less than $75,000,000. In connection with any partial reduction in the Facility Limit, the Commitment of each Purchaser shall be ratably reduced.

(f) In connection with any reduction of the Facility Limit and the corresponding Commitments of the Purchasers, the Seller shall remit to the Administrative Agent (i) instructions regarding such reduction and (ii) for payment to the Purchasers, cash in an amount sufficient to pay (A) the Capital of the Purchasers in each Group in excess of the Group Commitment of such Group following such reduction, (B) accrued Yield and Fees in respect of the portion of Capital being prepaid, (C) any associated Breakage Fees and (D) to the extent there are any other non-contingent Seller Obligations then due and owing by the Seller, the portion of the amount of such Seller Obligations described in clause (D) above equal to the ratio of the reduction of the Commitments being effected relative to the amount of the Commitments immediately prior to such reduction. Upon receipt of any such amounts, the Administrative Agent shall apply such amounts first to the reduction of the outstanding Capital, and second to the payment of any remaining outstanding Seller Obligations with respect to such reduction, including any Breakage Fees, by paying such amounts to the Purchasers.

SECTION 2.03. Yield and Fees.

(a) On each Settlement Date, the Seller shall, in accordance with the terms and priorities for payment set forth in Section 3.01, pay to each applicable Group Agent, each applicable Purchaser, the Administrative Agent and/or the Structuring Agent certain fees (collectively, the “Fees”) in the amounts set forth in the fee letter agreements from time to time entered into, among the Seller, the members of the applicable Group (or their Group Agent on their behalf) and/or the Administrative Agent or the Structuring Agent (each such fee letter agreement, as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, collectively being referred to herein as the “Fee Letter”).

(b) The Capital of each Purchaser shall accrue Yield on each day when such Capital remains outstanding at the then applicable Yield Rate for such Purchaser. The Seller shall pay all Yield, Fees and Breakage Fees accrued during each Yield Period on the immediately following Settlement Date in accordance with the terms and priorities for payment set forth in Section 3.01.

SECTION 2.04. Records of Investments and Capital. Each Group Agent shall record in its records, the date and amount of each Investment made by the Purchasers in its Group hereunder, the Yield Rate with respect to the related Capital (and each portion thereof), the Yield accrued thereon and each repayment and payment thereof. Subject to Section 13.03(c), 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 affect the obligations of the Seller hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents.

SETTLEMENT PROCEDURES AND PAYMENT PROVISIONS

SECTION 3.01. Settlement Procedures.

(a) Each Servicer shall set aside and hold in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties (or, if so requested by the Administrative Agent, segregate in a separate account approved by the Administrative Agent), for application in accordance with the priority of payments set forth below, all Collections on Pool Receivables that are received by such Servicer or any SPV Entity or received in any Lock-Box or Lock-Box Account; provided, however, that (A) the Servicers may from time to time release to the applicable SPV Entity from such Collections received on Unsold Receivables the amount (if any) necessary to pay the purchase price for Receivables purchased by such SPV Entity on such date in accordance with the terms of the applicable Purchase and Sale Agreement and (B) the U.S. Servicer may, on any day and if so requested by the Seller, release to the Seller all or a portion of such Collections received on Sold Receivables in exchange for the Seller designating on such day an equivalent amount (based on aggregate Outstanding Balances) of Unsold Receivables as new Sold Receivables on Seller’s books and records pursuant to Section 2.01(e), which new Sold Receivables will be automatically and immediately sold by the Seller to the Administrative Agent (for the ratable benefit of the Purchasers) pursuant to Section 2.01(b) upon such release on such day (each such release of Collections described in clauses (A) and (B) above, a “Release”); provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, any Collections that are not so Released shall be held in trust by the Servicers for the benefit of the Secured Parties or segregated and held in a separate account approved by the Administrative Agent unless and until such Collections are Released or distributed on a Settlement Date, in each case, in accordance with the terms hereof. On each Settlement Date, the Servicers (or, following its assumption of control of the Lock-Box Accounts, the Administrative Agent) shall, distribute such Collections in the following order of priority:

(i) first, to each Lock-Box Bank, the amount of any fees, costs or expenses payable to such Lock-Box Bank by any SPV Entity in connection with maintaining its related Lock-Box Account(s) to the extent that such Lock-Box Bank is permitted to debit or otherwise pay itself such fees, costs or expenses from funds on deposit in such Lock-Box Account(s) pursuant to the terms of the applicable Lock-Box Agreement; provided, that the payment of such fees, costs and expenses from Collections on deposit in such Lock-Box Accounts on days other than Settlement Dates in accordance with the terms of the applicable Lock-Box Agreements shall not constitute a breach or default under this Agreement for any purpose;

(ii) second, to each Servicer for the payment of the accrued Servicing Fees payable for the immediately preceding Yield Period (plus, if applicable, the amount of Servicing Fees payable for any prior Yield Period to the extent such amount has not been distributed to such Servicer) plus any applicable Canadian Sales Taxes thereon;

(iii) third, to each Purchaser and other Purchaser Party (ratably, based on the amount then due and owing), all accrued and unpaid Yield and Fees and Breakage Fees due to such Purchaser and other Purchaser Party for the immediately preceding Yield Period, plus, if applicable, the amount of any such Yield, Fees and Breakage Fees payable for any prior Yield Period to the extent such amount has not been distributed to such Purchaser or Purchaser Party;

(iv) fourth, as set forth in clause (x) or (y) below, as applicable:


			39

742583266 14453710

(x) prior to the occurrence of the Maturity Date, to the Purchasers (ratably, based on the aggregate outstanding Capital of each Purchaser at such time) for the payment of a portion of the outstanding Aggregate Capital at such time, an aggregate amount (if any) necessary to cause no Capital Coverage Deficit (determined using the Capital Coverage Amount calculated as of the last day of the preceding Fiscal Month assuming that the amount described in clause (a)(ii) of the definition of “Capital Coverage Amount” is zero) to exist; or

(y) on and after the occurrence of the Maturity Date, to each Purchaser (ratably, based on the aggregate outstanding Capital of each Purchaser at such time) for the payment in full of the aggregate outstanding Capital of such Purchaser at such time;

(v) fifth, to the Purchaser Parties, the Affected Persons, the SPV Entity Indemnified Parties and the Lock-Box Bank (ratably, based on the amount due and owing at such time), for the payment of all other Seller Obligations then due and owing by any SPV Entity to the Purchaser Parties, the Affected Persons, the SPV Entity Indemnified Parties and the Lock-Box Bank (including any amounts payable under Sections 4.01, 4.03, 12.01 or 13.04 or under the Lock-Box Agreement);

(vi) sixth, to each SPV Entity, the amount of any accrued and unpaid interest on the Subordinated Notes, which amount the applicable SPV Entity shall pay to the applicable Originator(s);

(vii) seventh, prior to the occurrence of the Maturity Date, at the election of the Seller and in accordance with Section 2.02(d), to the payment of all or any portion of the outstanding Capital of the Purchasers at such time (ratably, based on the aggregate outstanding Capital of each Purchaser at such time);

(viii) eighth, to the applicable SPV Entity, the amount of any unpaid purchase price payable by such SPV Entity to the Originators for Pool Receivables under the applicable Purchase and Sale Agreement to the extent required to be paid in cash on such Settlement Date, which amount the applicable SPV Entity shall pay to the applicable Originator(s);

(ix) ninth, to each SPV Entity, the amount of any principal then due and payable on the Subordinated Notes, which amount such SPV Entity shall pay to the applicable Originator(s); and

(x) tenth, the remaining balance, if any, to each SPV Entity for its own account.

If any Servicer receives any cash payments or cash distributions from any SPV Entity or from Collections during any Yield Period (including in respect of Servicing Fees, expenses, or dividends) at any time during which a Capital Coverage Deficit existed or resulted from such payments or distributions (other than payments or distributions made to such Servicer on Settlement Dates pursuant to Section 3.01(a)), such Servicer shall return the amount of all such payments and distributions to such SPV Entity on the first Settlement Date following such Yield Period to be treated as Collections and applied in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 3.01(a); provided, however, that such Servicer may net from the amount it is required to return to any SPV Entity, the amount (if any) that would otherwise be paid to such Servicer on such Settlement Date pursuant to Section 3.01(a) from available Collections (including Collections returned to any SPV Entity by such Servicer pursuant to this paragraph and by the


			40

742583266 14453710

Originators pursuant to Section 3.4 of the applicable Purchase and Sale Agreement). If any delay by such Servicer to pay over such amounts causes any SPV Entity to incur the obligation to pay additional interest or fees in respect of such amounts, such Servicer shall additionally pay over to such SPV Entity, to treated as Collections and applied in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 3.01(a), an amount sufficient to compensate such SPV Entity for the amount of such interest and fees.

Amounts payable pursuant to clauses first through fifth above shall be paid first from available Collections on Sold Receivables and other Sold Assets, second, to the extent necessary in order to make all such payments in full, from Collections on Unsold Receivables that are U.S. Receivables and other Pledged Collateral relating to U.S. Receivables, and third, to the extent necessary in order to make all such payments in full, from Collections on Unsold Receivables that are Canadian Receivables and other Pledged Collateral relating to Canadian Receivables, which Collections on Unsold Receivables that are Canadian Receivables and other Pledged Collateral relating to Canadian Receivables shall be applied in satisfaction of the Canadian Guarantor’s obligations under its SPV Entity Guaranty. Seller’s right to receive payments (if any) from time to time pursuant to clauses sixth through tenth above shall, to the extent arising from Collections on Sold Receivables, constitute compensation to the Seller for the Seller’s provision of the SPV Entity Guaranty and the Purchaser Parties’ interests in the Pledged Collateral of the Seller. The Canadian Guarantor’s right to receive payments (if any) from time to time pursuant to clauses sixth through tenth above shall, to the extent arising from Pledged Collateral, constitute (i) first, reimbursement of the Canadian Guarantor of any amounts paid under its SPV Entity Guaranty and (ii) second, compensation to the Canadian Guarantor for the Canadian Guarantor’s provision of its SPV Entity Guaranty and the Purchaser Parties’ interests in the Pledged Collateral of the Canadian Guarantor.

(b) All payments or distributions to be made by any Servicer, any SPV Entity and any other Person to the Purchasers (or their respective related Affected Persons and the SPV Entity Indemnified Parties), shall be paid or distributed to the related Group Agent at its Group Agent’s Account. Each Group Agent, upon its receipt in the applicable Group Agent’s Account of any such payments or distributions, shall distribute such amounts to the applicable Purchasers, Affected Persons and the SPV Entity Indemnified Parties within its Group ratably; provided that if such Group Agent shall have received insufficient funds to pay all of the above amounts in full on any such date, such Group Agent shall pay such amounts to the applicable Purchasers, Affected Persons and the SPV Entity Indemnified Parties within its Group in accordance with the priority of payments set forth above, and with respect to any such category above for which there are insufficient funds to pay all amounts owing on such date, ratably (based on the amounts in such categories owing to each such Person in such Group) among all such Persons in such Group entitled to payment thereof.

(c) If and to the extent the Administrative Agent, any Purchaser Party, any Affected Person or any SPV Entity Indemnified Party shall be required for any reason to return to any SPV Entity or any underlying Obligor (including to any trustee, receiver, custodian or similar official thereof as a result of any Insolvency Proceeding with respect to such SPV Entity or such Obligor) any amount received on its behalf hereunder, such amount shall be deemed not to have been so received but rather to have been retained by such SPV Entity and, accordingly, the Administrative Agent, such Purchaser Party, such Affected Person or such SPV Entity Indemnified Party, as the case may be, shall have a claim (which claim may be contingent or subject to defenses) against such SPV Entity for such amount.

(d) If on any day any Originator is required to make a cash payment of Deemed Collections to any SPV Entity under any Purchase and Sale Agreement, such SPV Entity shall deposit (or cause to be deposited) the amount of such Deemed Collections to a Lock-Box Account for application as Collections in accordance with Section 3.01(a). Each SPV Entity


			41

742583266 14453710

shall promptly enforce the Originators’ obligations to pay Deemed Collections in accordance with the terms of the applicable Purchase and Sale Agreement.

(e) Except as otherwise required by Applicable Law or the relevant Contract and subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement, all Collections received from a Pool Obligor in payment of any Pool Receivable shall be applied to the Receivables of such Obligor in the order of the age of such Receivables, starting with the oldest such Receivable, unless such Obligor designates in writing its payment for application to specific Receivables.

SECTION 3.02. Payments and Computations, Etc. (a) All amounts to be paid by any SPV Entity or any Servicer to the Administrative Agent, any Purchaser Party, any Affected Person or any SPV Entity Indemnified Party hereunder shall be initiated by wire transfer no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the day when due in same day funds to the applicable Group Agent’s Account.

(b) Each SPV Entity and each Servicer shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, pay interest on any amount not paid by it when due hereunder, at an interest rate per annum equal to 2.00% per annum above the Base Rate, payable on demand and compounded monthly on each Monthly Settlement Date.

(c) All computations of interest under subsection (b) above and all computations of Yield, Fees and other amounts hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days (or, in the case of amounts determined by reference to the Base Rate, 365 or 366 days, as applicable) for the actual number of days (including the first but excluding the last day) elapsed. Whenever any payment or deposit to be made hereunder shall be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment or deposit shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of such payment or deposit.

(d) Solely for purposes of reporting information regarding the Pool Receivables, the Net Receivables Pool Balance and the Capital Coverage Amount in any Information Package, Investment Request or similar report or certification, the portion of the Pool Receivables’ aggregate Outstanding Balance that (x) is subject to potential set-off or a similar right of offset or that remains subject to the performance of additional services or delivery of additional goods by the Originators or (y) constitutes an Eligible Unbilled Receivable, the applicable SPV Entity and the applicable Servicer shall either (i) report the actual amount thereof or (ii) report an estimate of such amount calculated in manner and using assumptions approved by the Administrative Agent in consultation with the applicable Servicer, and reporting such an estimate shall not be deemed to constitute a default under or breach of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. For the avoidance of doubt, the reporting and use of such an estimated amount pursuant to this paragraph shall not derogate from (x) any obligation of the Seller to ensure that no Capital Coverage Deficit exists based upon the actual portion of the Pool Receivables’ aggregate Outstanding Balance that is subject to potential set-off or a similar right of offset or that remains subject to the performance of additional services or delivery of additional goods by the Originators or (y) any obligation of the Seller or any Servicer to notify the other parties hereto that a Capital Coverage Deficit exists based upon such actual amounts.

(e) Conversion of Currencies. On any day when any computation or calculation hereunder requires the aggregation of amounts denominated in more than one currency, all amounts that are denominated in an Alternative Currency shall be converted to the U.S. Dollar Equivalent on such day.

(f) Interest Act (Canada). For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada) and disclosure thereunder, whenever any yield, interest or fee to be paid under any Transaction


			42

742583266 14453710

Document is to be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year, the yearly rate of interest to which the rate used in such calculation is equivalent is the rate so used multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the same is to be ascertained and divided by 360. The rates of interest under this Agreement are nominal rates, and not effective rates or yields. The principle of deemed reinvestment of interest does not apply to any interest calculation under this Agreement.

(g) Criminal Interest. If any provision of this Agreement would oblige the Canadian Guarantor to make any payment of interest or other amount payable to any Committed Purchaser in an amount or calculated at a rate which would be prohibited by Applicable Law or would result in a receipt by that Committed Purchaser of “interest” at a “criminal rate” (as such terms are construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)), then, notwithstanding such provision, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by Applicable Law or so result in a receipt by that Committed Purchaser of “interest” at a “criminal rate”.

ARTICLE IV

(ii) subject any Affected Person to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) clauses (b) through (e) of Excluded Taxes and (C) Other Connection Taxes that are imposed on or measured by net income, capital, profits or revenue) on its loans, commitments or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(iii) impose on any Affected Person or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting the Sold Assets and Pledged Collateral, this Agreement, any other Transaction Document, any Program Support Agreement, or any Investment made by, or supported by, such Affected Person;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Affected Person of (A) acting as the Administrative Agent, a Group Agent or a Purchaser hereunder or as a Program Support Provider with respect to a Purchaser for the transactions contemplated hereby, (B) funding or maintaining any Investment(or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Investment) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Affected Person hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then, beginning on the Settlement Date following the Fiscal Month during which the Seller received written demand therefor, the Seller will pay to such Affected Person, in accordance with Section 3.01(a), such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Person for such additional costs or expenses incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) Capital Requirements. If any Affected Person determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements or liquidity has had or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Affected Person’s capital as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of or the Investments made or supported by such Affected Person, in each case to a level below that which such Affected Person could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Affected Person’s policies with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then, beginning on the Settlement Date following the Fiscal Month during which the Seller received written demand therefor, the Seller will pay to such Affected Person, in accordance with Section 3.01(a), such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Person for any such reduction suffered.

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Group Agent or Purchaser on behalf of the related Affected Person setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Affected Person as specified in clause (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Seller shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Affected Person to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Affected Person’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Seller shall not be required to compensate an Affected Person pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or expenses incurred or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that such Affected Person (or its related Group Agent or Purchaser on its behalf) notifies the Seller of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or expenses or reductions and of such Affected Person’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or expenses or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

SECTION 4.02. Funding Losses.

(a) The Seller will pay each Purchaser all Breakage Fees.

(b) A certificate of a Purchaser (or its Group Agent on its behalf) setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Purchaser, as specified in clause (a) above and delivered to the Seller shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Seller shall, subject to the priorities of payment set forth in Section 3.01, pay such Purchaser the amount shown as due on any such certificate beginning on the first Settlement Date following the Fiscal Month during which the Seller received such certificate.

SECTION 4.03. Taxes.

(a) Withholding of Taxes; Gross-Up. Each payment by or on account of any obligation of the Seller (including, for avoidance of doubt, by the Canadian Guarantor) or a Receivable under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to any Affected Person shall be made without withholding for any Taxes, unless such withholding is required by any Applicable Law. If any Withholding Agent determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it is so required to withhold Taxes, then such Withholding Agent may so withhold and shall timely pay the full amount of withheld Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law. If such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes, then the amount payable by the Seller shall be increased as necessary so that, net of such withholding (including such withholding applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section), the applicable Affected Person receives the amount it would have received had no such withholding been made.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the SPV Entities. Each SPV Entity shall timely pay or cause to be paid any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in


			44

742583266 14453710

accordance with Applicable Law, or, at the option of the Administrative Agent, timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(c) Evidence of Payment. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by or on behalf of the Seller to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Agreement, the Seller shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(d) Indemnification by the Seller. The Seller shall indemnify each Affected Person receiving any payment under any Transaction Document for any (i) Indemnified Taxes that are paid or payable by such Affected Person in connection with this Agreement (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts paid or payable under this paragraph) and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority, and (ii) any liability or loss (including associated costs to defend or report) of an Affected Person arising from Investments not treated by a Governmental Authority consistent with the Intended Tax Treatment. The indemnity under this paragraph shall be paid by the Seller beginning on the Settlement Date following the Fiscal Month during which the Seller receives a certificate from the related Group Agent of such Affected Person (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) stating the amount of any Indemnified Taxes so paid or payable by such Affected Person and describing in reasonable detail the basis for the indemnification claim. Such certificate shall be conclusive of the amount so paid or payable absent manifest error.

(e) Indemnification of the Administrative Agent by Affected Persons. Each Affected Person shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent (i) for any Taxes (but, in the case of any Indemnified Taxes, only to the extent that the Seller has not already indemnified (or is not already scheduled to indemnify) the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Seller to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to the failure of such Purchaser, its Related Conduit Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates that are Affected Persons to comply with Section 13.03(f) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Purchaser, its Related Conduit Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates that are Affected Persons, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Transaction Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. The indemnity under this paragraph shall be paid by the Settlement Date following the Fiscal Month during which the Administrative Agent delivers to the applicable Affected Person a certificate stating the amount of Taxes so paid or payable by the Administrative Agent. Such certificate shall be conclusive of the amount so paid or payable absent manifest error.

(f) Status of Purchasers. (i) Any Purchaser that is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of, any applicable withholding Tax with respect to any payments under any Transaction Document shall deliver to each Withholding Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by such Withholding Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by such Withholding Agent as will permit such payments to be made without, or at a reduced rate of, withholding. In addition, any Purchaser receiving any payment under any Transaction Document, if requested by any Withholding Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by law or reasonably requested by such Withholding Agent as will enable such Withholding Agent to determine whether or not such Purchaser is subject to any withholding (including backup withholding) or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in clauses (A) through (E) of paragraph (f)(ii) below) shall not be required if in such Purchaser’s


			45

742583266 14453710

judgment such completion, execution or submission would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Purchaser. Upon the reasonable request of any Withholding Agent, an Purchaser shall update any form or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section 4.03(f). If any form or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section 4.03(f) expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect with respect to any Purchaser, such Purchaser shall promptly (and in any event within 10 days after such expiration, obsolescence or inaccuracy) notify each Withholding Agent in writing of such expiration, obsolescence or inaccuracy and update the form or certification if it is legally eligible to do so. Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, a Withholding Agent shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph that it is not legally able to deliver.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Purchaser receiving any payment under any Transaction Document shall, if it is legally eligible to do so, deliver to each Withholding Agent (in such number of copies as is reasonably requested by such Withholding Agent) on or prior to the date on which such Purchaser becomes a party hereto (or if not a party hereto, on or prior to the date on which it would, contingently or otherwise, become entitled to any payments hereunder), xxxx completed and executed copies of whichever of the following is applicable:

(A) in the case of a Purchaser receiving a payment under any Transaction Document that is a U.S. Person, IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Purchaser is exempt from U.S. Federal backup withholding tax;

(B) in the case of a Purchaser receiving a payment under any Transaction Document, other than a U.S. Person, that is claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States of America is a party (1) with respect to payments of interest under this Agreement, IRS Form W-8BEN (or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (2) with respect to any other applicable payments under this Agreement, IRS Form W-8BEN (or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(C) in the case of a Purchaser receiving a payment under any Transaction Document, other than a U.S. Person, for whom payments under this Agreement constitute income that is effectively connected with such Purchaser’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States of America, IRS Form W-8ECI;

(D) in the case of a Purchaser receiving a payment under any Transaction Document, other than a U.S. Person, claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, both (1) IRS Form W‑8BEN (or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable) and (2) a certificate to the effect that such Purchaser is not (x) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (y) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Seller within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code or (z) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (each, a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”);

(E) in the case of a Purchaser receiving a payment under any Transaction Document, other than a U.S. Person, that is not the beneficial owner of payments made under this Agreement (including a partnership or


			46

742583266 14453710

a participating Purchaser), (1) an IRS Form W-8IMY on behalf of itself and (2) the relevant forms prescribed in clauses (A), (B), (C), (D) and (F) of this paragraph (f)(ii) that would be required of each such beneficial owner, partner of such partnership or participant if such beneficial owner, partner or participant were a Purchaser; provided that if such Purchaser is a partnership and one or more of its partners are claiming the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, such Purchaser may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate on behalf of such partners; or

(F) any other form prescribed by law as a basis for claiming exemption from, or a reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax, together with such supplementary documentation as shall be necessary to enable each Withholding Agent to determine the amount of Tax (if any) required by Applicable Law to be withheld.

(iii) If a payment received by a Purchaser under any Transaction Document would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Purchaser were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Purchaser shall deliver to any Withholding Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by such Withholding Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by such Withholding Agent as may be necessary for such Withholding Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Purchaser has or has not complied with such Purchaser’s obligations under FATCA and, as necessary, to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (f)(iii), “FATCA” shall include any and all amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement and any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with FATCA.

(g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any Affected Person determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section (including additional amounts paid pursuant to this Section), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including any Taxes) of such Affected Person and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). In the event such Affected Person is required to repay such refund to the relevant Governmental Authority, such indemnifying party shall repay to such Affected Person , upon the request of the related Group Agent on behalf of such Affected Person (or in the event such indemnifying party is the Seller, in accordance with Section 3.01(a) beginning on the Settlement Date following the Fiscal Month during which the Seller has received such request), the amount of the refund paid by such Affected Person to such indemnifying party pursuant to the prior sentence (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph, in no event will any Affected Person be required to pay any amount to any indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph if such payment would place such Affected Person in a less favorable position (on a net after-Tax basis) than such Affected Person would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any Affected Person to make available its Tax


			47

742583266 14453710

returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(h) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 4.03 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Purchaser Party or any other Affected Person, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the Seller obligations and any Servicer’s obligations hereunder.

(i) Intended Tax Treatment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, all parties to this Agreement covenant and agree to treat each Investment under this Agreement as debt (and all Yield as interest) for all U.S. federal, state, local and franchise tax purposes and agree not to take any position on any tax return inconsistent with the foregoing.

(j) References to Applicable Law. All references to Applicable Law in this Section 4.03 shall be deemed to include FATCA.

SECTION 4.04. Inability to Determine LMIR; Change in Legality.

(a) If any Group Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto) on any day, by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank Eurodollar market, either that: (i) U.S. Dollar deposits in the relevant amounts and for the relevant day are not available, (ii) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate for such day or (iii) the LIBOR Rate determined pursuant hereto does not accurately reflect the cost to the applicable Affected Person (as conclusively determined by such Group Agent) of maintaining any Portion of Capital during such day, such Group Agent shall promptly give telephonic notice of such determination, confirmed in writing, to the Seller on such day. Upon delivery of such notice: (i) no Portion of Capital shall be funded thereafter at the Bank Rate determined by reference to the LIBOR Rate unless and until such Group Agent shall have given notice to the Seller that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist and (ii) with respect to any outstanding Portion of Capital then funded at the Bank Rate determined by reference to the LIBOR Rate, such Bank Rate shall automatically and immediately be converted to the Bank Rate determined by reference to the Base Rate.

(b) If on any day, any Group Agent shall have been notified by any Affected Person that such Affected Person has determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive) that any Change in Law, or compliance by such Affected Person with any Change in Law, shall make it unlawful or impossible for such Affected Person to fund or maintain any Portion of Capital at or by reference to the LIBOR Rate, such Group Agent shall notify the Seller and the Administrative Agent thereof. Upon receipt of such notice, until the applicable Group Agent notifies the Seller and the Administrative Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer apply, (i) no Portion of Capital shall be funded at or by reference to the LIBOR Rate and (ii) the Yield for any outstanding portions of Capital then funded at the Bank Rate determined by reference to the LIBOR Rate shall automatically and immediately be converted to the Bank Rate determined by reference to the Base Rate.

SECTION 4.05. Back-Up Security Interest.

(a) If, notwithstanding the intent of the parties stated in Section 2.01(c), the sale, assignment and transfer of any Sold Assets to the Administrative Agent (for the ratable benefit of the Purchasers) hereunder (including pursuant to Section 2.01(b)) is not treated as a sale for all purposes (except as provided in Sections 2.01(d) and 13.14), then such sale, assignment and transfer of such Sold Assets shall be treated as the grant of a security interest by


			48

742583266 14453710

the Seller to the Administrative Agent (for the ratable benefit of the Purchasers) to secure the payment and performance of all the Seller’s obligations to the Administrative Agent, the Purchasers and the other Secured Parties hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents (including all Seller Obligations). Therefore, as security for the performance by the Seller of all the terms, covenants and agreements on the part of the Seller to be performed under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, including the punctual payment when due of the Aggregate Capital and all Yield and all other Seller Obligations, the Seller (i) hereby affirms its grant of a security interest pursuant to the Prior Agreement in the portion of Collateral (as defined in the Prior Agreement) comprised of the Sold Assets and (ii) hereby grants to the Administrative Agent for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, a continuing security interest in, all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under all of the Sold Assets, whether now or hereafter owned, existing or arising.

(b) The Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) shall have, with respect to all the Sold Assets, and in addition to all the other rights and remedies available to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties), all the rights and remedies of a secured party under any applicable UCC. The Seller hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) to file financing statements describing the collateral covered thereby as “all of the debtor’s personal property or assets” or words to that effect, notwithstanding that such wording may be broader in scope than the collateral described in this Agreement.

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, (i) the grant of security interest pursuant to this Section 4.05 shall be in addition to, and shall not be construed to limit or modify, the sale of Sold Assets pursuant to Section 2.01(b) or the Seller’s grant of security interest pursuant to Section 14.09, (ii) nothing in Section 2.01 shall be construed as limiting the rights, interests (including any security interest), obligations or liabilities of any party under this Section 4.05, and (iii) subject to the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), this Section 4.05 shall not be construed to contradict the intentions of the parties set forth in Section 2.01(c).

SECTION 4.06. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Affected Persons.

(a) If any Affected Person requests compensation under Section 4.01, or if the Seller is required to pay any additional amount to any Affected Person or to any Governmental Authority for the account of any Affected Person pursuant to Section 4.03, then such Affected Person shall (at the request of the Seller) use commercially reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking the related Investments hereunder or to assign and delegate (or cause to be assigned and delegated) such Affected Person’s rights and obligations hereunder to another office, branch or Affiliate of such Affected Person if, in the judgment of such Affected Person, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 4.01 or 4.03, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Affected Person to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Affected Person. The Seller hereby agrees to pay all reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses incurred by any Affected Person in connection with any such designation or assignment and delegation.

(b) If (i) any Affected Person requests compensation under Section 4.01, (ii) the Seller is required to pay any additional amount to any Affected Person or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Affected Person pursuant to Section 4.03, (iii) any Affected Person has become a Defaulting Purchaser Party or (iv) any Affected Person has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination that requires the consent of each Group Agent (or the Group Agent of each affected Group) and with respect to which the Majority Group Agents shall have or would have granted their consent (any such Affected Person identified in clause (iv), a “Non-Consenting Affected Person”), then the Seller may, at its


			49

742583266 14453710

sole expense and effort, upon notice to the related Group Agent and the Administrative Agent, require such Group Agent to cause the related Affected Person to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to all applicable transfer restrictions), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to another appropriate Person (which, in the case of a Purchaser, shall be an Eligible Assignee) that shall acquire such interest or, in the case of a Committed Purchaser, assume such Committed Purchaser’s obligations (which assignee may, in each case, be an existing Purchaser); provided that (A) the Seller shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Majority Group Agents, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld (provided that no such consent from a Non-Consenting Affected Person or its Affiliates shall be required, and any Non-Consenting Affected Person and its Affiliates shall be excluded from any determination of the Majority Group Agents for such purpose), (B) such Affected Person, if a Purchaser, shall have received payment of an amount equal to its outstanding Capital and, if applicable, accrued Yield and Fees thereon and all other amounts then owing to it hereunder from the assignee or the Seller, (C) in the case of any such assignment and delegation resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 4.01 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 4.03, such assignment is expected to result in a reduction in such compensation or payments for future periods and (D) in the case of any such assignment and delegation resulting from the failure of an Affected Person to provide a consent, the assignee shall have given such consent and, as a result of such assignment and delegation and any contemporaneous assignments and delegations and consents, the applicable amendment, waiver, discharge or termination can be effected. An Affected Person shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver or consent by such Affected Person or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Seller to require such assignment and delegation have ceased to apply.

SECTION 4.07. Successor LIBOR Rate.

(a) Announcements Related to LIBOR. On March 5, 2021, the ICE Benchmark Administration, the administrator of LIBOR (the “IBA”) and the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority, the regulatory supervisor for the IBA, announced in a public statement the future cessation or loss of representativeness of overnight/Spot Next, 1-week, 1-month, 2-month, 3-month, 6-month and 12-month USD LIBOR tenor settings (collectively, the “Cessation Announcements”). The parties hereto acknowledge that, as a result of the Cessation Announcements, a Benchmark Transition Event occurred on March 5, 2021 with respect to USD LIBOR under clauses (1) and (2) of the definition of Benchmark Transition Event below; provided however, no related Benchmark Replacement Date occurred as of such date.

(b) Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event, an Early Opt-in Election or an Other Benchmark Rate Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Transaction Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Transaction Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Group Agents without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this


			50

742583266 14453710

Agreement or any other Transaction Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Group Agents comprising the Majority Group Agents.

(c) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

(d) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Seller and the Group Agents of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event, an Early Opt-in Election, or an Other Benchmark Rate Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (iv) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to paragraph (e) below and (v) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Group Agent (or Majority Group Agents) pursuant to this Section 4.07 including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 4.07.

(e) Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR or USD LIBOR) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Xxxxxxxxx has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or will be no longer representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Yield Period” for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to subclause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Yield Period” for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

(f) Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Seller’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Seller may revoke any request for an Investment (or Capital thereof) accruing Yield based on USD LIBOR, conversion to or continuation of Investments accruing Yield (or Capital thereof) based on USD LIBOR to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Seller will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for an Investment of or conversion to Investments accruing Yield under the Base Rate. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or


			51

742583266 14453710

such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the Base Rate.

(g) Term SOFR Transition Event. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document and subject to the proviso below in this paragraph, if a Term SOFR Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (i) the applicable Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder or under any Transaction Document in respect of such Benchmark setting (the “Secondary Term SOFR Conversion Date”) and subsequent Benchmark settings, without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; and (ii) Capital outstanding on the Secondary Term SOFR Conversion Date accruing yield based on the then-current Benchmark shall be deemed to have been converted to Capital accruing yield at the Benchmark Replacement with a tenor approximately the same length as the yield payment period of the then-current Benchmark; provided that, this paragraph (g) shall not be effective unless the Administrative Agent has delivered to the Group Agents and the Seller a Term SOFR Notice. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to deliver a Term SOFR Notice after a Term SOFR Transition Event and may do so in its sole discretion.

(h) Certain Defined Terms. As used in this Section 4.07:

“Available Tenor” means, as of any date of determination and with respect to the then-current Benchmark, as applicable, (x) if the then current Benchmark is a term rate or is based on a term rate, any tenor for such Benchmark that is or may be used for determining the length of any Yield Period pursuant to this Agreement as of such date and not including, for the avoidance of doubt, any tenor for such Benchmark that is then-removed from the definition of “Yield Period” pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 4.07, or (y) if the then current Benchmark is not a term rate nor based on a term rate, any payment period for yield calculated with reference to such Benchmark pursuant to this Agreement as of such date. For the avoidance of doubt, the Available Tenor for LMIR is one month.

“Benchmark” means, initially, USD LIBOR; provided that if a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event, an Early Opt-in Election, or an Other Benchmark Rate Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to USD LIBOR or the then-current Benchmark, then “Benchmark” means the applicable Benchmark Replacement to the extent that such Benchmark Replacement has replaced such prior benchmark rate pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 4.07.

“Benchmark Replacement” means, for any Available Tenor, the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Administrative Agent for the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date:

(1) the sum of: (a) Term SOFR and (b) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment;

(2) the sum of: (a) Daily Simple SOFR and (b) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment;

(3) the sum of: (a) the alternate benchmark rate that has been selected by the Administrative Agent and the Seller as the replacement for the then-current Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor giving due

(d) A Servicer may delegate its duties and obligations hereunder to any subservicer (each a “Sub-Servicer”); provided, that, in each such delegation: (i) such Sub-Servicer shall agree in writing to perform the delegated duties and obligations of such Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof, (ii) such Servicer shall remain liable for the performance of the duties and obligations so delegated, (iii) each SPV Entity, the Administrative Agent, each Purchaser and each Group Agent shall have the right to look solely to such Servicer for performance, (iv) the terms of any agreement with any Sub-Servicer shall provide that the Administrative Agent may terminate such agreement upon the termination of such Servicer hereunder by giving notice of its desire to terminate such agreement to such Servicer (and such Servicer shall provide appropriate notice to each such Sub-Servicer) and (v) if such Sub-Servicer is neither an Affiliate of NCR nor a collection agent for Defaulted Receivables, the Administrative Agent and the Majority Group Agents shall have consented in writing in advance to such delegation.

(e) If any Servicer is replaced as Servicer hereunder, such Servicer shall take such actions reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent and the successor Servicer to transition the servicing of the applicable Pool Receivables to such successor and to permit the successor Servicer to service the Collections on the applicable Pool Receivables, including, without limitation, providing the Administrative Agent and the successor Servicer with any information and data with respect to the Pool Receivables in the possession of, or reasonably available to, such Servicer or its Affiliates. In connection with any such actions by any Servicer, each SPV Entity shall pay to each Servicer its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses from such SPV Entity’s own funds if and when such funds are released to such SPV Entity from time to time pursuant to Section 3.01(a)(x).

SECTION 8.02. Duties of the Servicers.

(a) Each Servicer shall take or cause to be taken all such action as may be necessary or appropriate to service and administer the collection of each Pool Receivable from time to time, all in accordance with this Agreement and all Applicable Laws, with commercially


			84

742583266 14453710

reasonable care and diligence, in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy in a manner consistent in all material respects with the past practices of the Originators (after taking into consideration the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents). Each Servicer shall set aside, for the accounts of each Group, the amount of Collections to which each such Group is entitled in accordance with Article III hereof. Each Servicer may, in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy and consistent with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, take such action, including modifications, waivers or restructurings of Pool Receivables and related Contracts, as such Servicer may reasonably determine to be appropriate to maximize Collections thereof, reflect adjustments expressly permitted under the Credit and Collection Policy or as expressly required under Applicable Laws or the applicable Contract or in a manner that does not adversely affect the Pool Receivables or Collections thereon; provided, that for purposes of this Agreement: (i) such action shall not, and shall not be deemed to, change the number of days such Pool Receivable has remained unpaid from the date of the original due date related to such Pool Receivable, (ii) such action shall not alter the status of such Pool Receivable as a Delinquent Receivable or a Defaulted Receivable and (iii) if a Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, a Servicer may modify, waive or restructure a Pool Receivable (or reflect any related adjustments) only upon the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. Each Servicer shall hold in trust for each SPV Entity and the Secured Parties all records and documents (including computer tapes or disks) that relate to the Pool Receivables. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if a Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent may direct any Servicer to commence or settle any legal action to enforce collection of any Pool Receivable that is a Defaulted Receivable or to foreclose upon or repossess any Related Security with respect to any such Defaulted Receivable.

(b) The Servicers’ obligations hereunder shall survive until, and terminate on, the Final Payout Date.

SECTION 8.03. Lock-Box Account Arrangements. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Termination Event, the Administrative Agent may (with the consent of the Majority Group Agents) and shall (upon the direction of the Majority Group Agents) at any time thereafter give notice to each Lock-Box Bank that the Administrative Agent is exercising its rights under the Lock-Box Agreements to do any or all of the following: (a) to have the exclusive ownership and control of the Lock-Box Accounts transferred to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) and to exercise exclusive dominion and control over the funds deposited therein, (b) to have the proceeds that are sent to the respective Lock-Box Accounts redirected pursuant to the Administrative Agent’s instructions rather than deposited in the applicable Lock-Box Account and (c) to take any or all other actions permitted under the applicable Lock-Box Agreement. Each SPV Entity hereby agrees that if the Administrative Agent at any time takes any action set forth in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall have exclusive control (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) of the proceeds (including Collections) of all Pool Receivables and each SPV Entity hereby further agrees to take any other action reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent for the purpose of transferring such control. Any proceeds of Pool Receivables received by any SPV Entity or any Servicer thereafter shall be sent promptly to, or as otherwise instructed by, the Administrative Agent (and until so sent, shall be deemed to be held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties)).


			85

742583266 14453710

SECTION 8.04. Enforcement Rights.

(a) At any time following the occurrence and during the continuation of a Termination Event, until the Final Payout Date:

(i) the Administrative Agent may instruct any SPV Entity or any Servicer to give notice of the Secured Parties’ interest in Pool Receivables to each Pool Obligor, which notice shall direct that payments be made directly to the Administrative Agent or its designee (on behalf of the Secured Parties), and such SPV Entity or such Servicer, as the case may be, shall give such notice at the expense of such SPV Entity or such Servicer, as the case may be; provided, that (i) if such SPV Entity or such Servicer, as the case may be, fails to so notify each Pool Obligor within two (2) Business Days following instruction by the Administrative Agent to do so or (ii) at any time following the occurrence of a Termination Event pursuant to Section 9.01(e) or (f), then, in either case, the Administrative Agent (at such SPV Entity’s or such Servicer’s, as the case may be, expense) may so notify the Pool Obligors;

(ii) the Administrative Agent may request any Servicer to, and upon such request such Servicer shall: (A) assemble all of the records necessary or appropriate to service and administer the collection of the Pool Receivables and the Related Security, and transfer or license to a successor Servicer the use of all software necessary or appropriate to service and administer the collection of the Pool Receivables and the Related Security, and make the same available to the Administrative Agent or its designee (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) and (B) segregate all cash, checks and other instruments received by it from time to time constituting Collections in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and, promptly upon receipt, remit all such cash, checks and instruments, duly endorsed or with duly executed instruments of transfer, to the Administrative Agent or its designee;

(iii) the Administrative Agent may assume exclusive control of each Lock-Box Account and notify the Lock-Box Banks that the applicable SPV Entity and the applicable Servicer will no longer have any access to the Lock-Box Accounts in accordance with Section 8.03;

(iv) the Administrative Agent may (or, at the direction of the Majority Group Agents shall) replace the Person then acting as a Servicer in accordance with Section 8.01; and

(v) the Administrative Agent may collect any amounts due from an Originator under any Purchase and Sale Agreement or from NCR under any Performance Guaranty.

(b) Each SPV Entity hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Secured Parties), and irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution and with full authority in the place and stead of such SPV Entity, which appointment is coupled with an interest, to take any and all steps in the name of the such SPV Entity and on behalf of such SPV Entity necessary or desirable, in the reasonable determination of the Administrative Agent, after the occurrence and during the continuation of a Termination Event, to collect any and all amounts or portions thereof due under any and all Sold Assets and Pledged Collateral, including indorsing the name of such SPV Entity on checks and other instruments representing Collections and enforcing such Sold Assets and Pledged Collateral. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this subsection, none of the powers conferred upon such attorney-in-fact pursuant to the preceding sentence shall subject such attorney-in-fact to any liability if any action taken by it shall prove to be inadequate or


			86

742583266 14453710

invalid, nor shall they confer any obligations upon such attorney-in-fact in any manner whatsoever.

SECTION 8.05. Responsibilities of the SPV Entities. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each SPV Entity shall (i) perform all of its obligations, if any, under the Contracts related to the Pool Receivables to the same extent as if interests in such Pool Receivables had not been pledged hereunder, and the exercise by the Administrative Agent, or any other Purchaser Party of their respective rights hereunder shall not relieve such SPV Entity from such obligations and (ii) pay when due any Taxes, including any sales taxes payable in connection with the Pool Receivables and their creation and satisfaction. None of the Purchaser Parties shall have any obligation or liability with respect to any Sold Assets and Pledged Collateral, nor shall any of them be obligated to perform any of the obligations of any SPV Entity, any Servicer or any Originator thereunder.

SECTION 8.06. Servicing Fee.

(a) Subject to clause (b) below, each of the Seller and the Canadian Guarantor shall pay to its Servicer a fee (the “Servicing Fee”) equal to 1.00% per annum (the “Servicing Fee Rate”) of the daily average aggregate Outstanding Balance of the Pool Receivables for which such Servicer has primary servicing responsibility pursuant to Section 8.01(a). Accrued Servicing Fees shall be payable from Collections to the extent of available funds in accordance with Section 3.01.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing and for greater certainty, no Servicing Fee or other consideration with respect to the servicing of the Pool Receivables shall be payable to the Canadian Servicer as long as the Canadian Servicer is NCR Canada Corp. or an Affiliate thereof.

(c) If either Servicer ceases to be NCR, NCR Canada Corp. or an Affiliate of either of them, the Servicing Fee shall be the greater of: (i) the amount calculated pursuant to clause (a) above and (ii) an alternative amount specified by the successor Servicer and agreed to in writing by the Administrative Agent not to exceed 110% of the aggregate reasonable costs and expenses incurred by such successor Servicer in connection with the performance of its obligations as Servicer hereunder.

Neither the Administrative 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 Administrative Agent under or in connection with this Agreement, in the absence of its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

SECTION 10.03. Administrative Agent and Affiliates. With respect to any Investment or interests therein owned by any Purchaser Party that is also the Administrative Agent, such Purchaser Party shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Purchaser Party and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any of its Affiliates may generally engage in any kind of business with the Seller or any Affiliate thereof and any Person who may do business with or own securities of the Seller or any Affiliate thereof, all as if the Administrative Agent were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to any other Secured Party.

742583266 14453710

SECTION 10.04. Indemnification of Administrative Agent.

SECTION 10.06. Action or Inaction by Administrative Agent. The Administrative 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 Group Agents or the Majority Group Agents, as the case may be, and assurance of its indemnification by the Committed Purchasers, as it deems appropriate. The Administrative 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 Group Agents or the Majority Group Agents, as the case may be, and such request or direction and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all Purchaser Parties. The Purchaser Parties and the Administrative Agent agree that unless any action to be taken by the Administrative Agent under a Transaction Document (i) specifically requires the advice or concurrence of all Group Agents or (ii) may be taken by the Administrative Agent alone or without any advice or concurrence of any Group Agent, then the Administrative Agent may take action based upon the advice or concurrence of the Majority Group Agents.

SECTION 10.07. Notice of Termination Events; Action by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Unmatured Termination Event or Termination Event unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from any Purchaser Party or any SPV Entity stating that an Unmatured Termination Event or Termination Event has occurred hereunder and describing such Unmatured Termination Event or Termination Event. If the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, it shall promptly give notice thereof to each Group Agent, whereupon each Group Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to its respective Conduit Purchaser(s) and Related Committed Purchaser(s). The Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, concerning an Unmatured Termination Event or Termination Event or any other matter hereunder as the Administrative Agent deems advisable and in the best interests of the Secured Parties.

SECTION 10.08. Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Parties.

Each Purchaser Party represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent that, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other


			92

742583266 14453710

Purchaser Party and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, it has made and will continue to make its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, prospects, financial and other conditions and creditworthiness of each SPV Entity, each Originator or any Servicer and the Pool 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 Administrative Agent to any Purchaser Party, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Purchaser Party with any information concerning any SPV Entity, any Originator or any Servicer that comes into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its directors, officers, agents, employees, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.

SECTION 10.09. Successor Administrative Agent.

(a) The Administrative Agent may, upon at least thirty (30) days’ notice to each SPV Entity, each Servicer and each Group Agent, resign as Administrative Agent. Except as provided below, such resignation shall not become effective until a successor Administrative Agent is appointed by the Majority Group Agents as a successor Administrative Agent and has accepted such appointment. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Majority Group Agents, within thirty (30) days after the departing Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, the departing Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Secured Parties, appoint a successor Administrative Agent as successor Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Majority Group Agents within sixty (60) days after the departing Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, the departing Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Secured Parties, petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Administrative Agent. For so long as no Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Seller shall have the right to approve any successor Administrative Agent appointed hereunder, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

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

SECTION 10.10. Erroneous Payments.

(a) If the Administrative Agent notifies a Purchaser, a Group Agent or a Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Purchaser a Group Agent or Secured Party (any such Purchaser, Group Agent, Secured Party or other recipient, a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Purchaser, Group Agent, Secured Party, or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and such Purchaser, Group Agent or Secured Party shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment


			93

742583266 14453710

Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Overnight Bank Funding Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(b) Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Purchaser, Group Agent or Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Purchaser, Group Agent or Secured Party, such Purchaser hereby further agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Purchaser, Group Agent or Secured Party, or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) in each case:

(i) (A) in the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Administrative Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and

(ii) such Purchaser, Group Agent or Secured Party shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of such error) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 10.10(b).

(c) Each Purchaser, Group Agent or Secured Party hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Purchaser or Secured Party under any Transaction Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Purchaser, Group Agent or Secured Party from any source, against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under immediately preceding clause (a) or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.

(d) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by the Administrative Agent in accordance with immediately preceding clause (a), from any Purchaser or Group Agent that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Administrative Agent’s notice to such Purchaser or Group Agent at any time, (i) such related Purchaser shall be deemed to have assigned its Capital (but not its Commitments) with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Capital (but not Commitments), the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) at par


			94

742583266 14453710

plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Administrative Agent in such instance), and is hereby (together with the Seller) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (ii) the Administrative Agent as the assignee Purchaser shall be deemed to acquire the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (iii) upon such deemed acquisition, the Administrative Agent as the assignee Purchaser shall become a Purchaser or Group Agent, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Purchaser shall cease to be a Purchaser or Group Agent, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Purchaser and (iv) the Administrative Agent may reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Capital subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. The Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Capital acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Purchaser be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Capital (or portion thereof), and the Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Purchaser or related Group Agent (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Purchaser and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In addition, each party hereto agrees that, except to the extent that the Administrative Agent has sold Capital (or portion thereof) acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, the Administrative Agent shall be contractually subrogated to all the rights and interests of the applicable Purchaser, related Group Agent or Secured Party under the Transaction Documents with respect to each Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”).

(e) The parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Seller Obligations owed by any SPV Entity or any Servicer, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from any SPV Entity or any Servicer for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.

(f) To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine

(g) Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 10.10 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Seller Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Transaction Document.

ARTICLE XI

THE GROUP AGENTS

SECTION 11.01. Authorization and Action. Each Purchaser Party that belongs to a Group hereby appoints and authorizes the Group Agent for such Group to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to such


			95

742583266 14453710

Group Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. No Group Agent shall 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 any Group Agent. No Group Agent assumes, nor shall it be deemed to have assumed, any obligation to, or relationship of trust or agency with the Seller or any Affiliate thereof, any Purchaser except for any obligations expressly set forth herein. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, in no event shall any Group Agent ever be required to take any action which exposes such Group Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to any provision of any Transaction Document or Applicable Law.

SECTION 11.02. Group Agent’s Reliance, Etc. No Group 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 a Group Agent under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents in the absence of its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, a Group Agent: (a) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Administrative Agent, any SPV Entity or any 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 any Purchaser Party (whether written or oral) and shall not be responsible to any Purchaser Party for any statements, warranties or representations (whether written or oral) made by any other party in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; (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 or any other Transaction Document on the part of any SPV Entity or any Affiliate thereof or any other Person or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of any SPV Entity or any Affiliate thereof; (d) shall not be responsible to any Purchaser Party for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any other Transaction Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; and (e) shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in so relying, upon any notice (including notice by telephone), consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by facsimile) believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties.

SECTION 11.03. Group Agent and Affiliates. With respect to any Investment or interests therein owned by any Purchaser Party that is also a Group Agent, such Purchaser Party shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Purchaser and may exercise the same as though it were not a Group Agent. A Group Agent and any of its Affiliates may generally engage in any kind of business with any SPV Entity or any Affiliate thereof and any Person who may do business with or own securities of any SPV Entity or any Affiliate thereof or any of their respective Affiliates, all as if such Group Agent were not a Group Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to any other Secured Party.

SECTION 11.04. Indemnification of Group Agents. Each Committed Purchaser in any Group agrees to indemnify the Group Agent for such Group (to the extent not reimbursed by SPV Entity or any Affiliate thereof), ratably according to the proportion of the Pro Rata Percentage of such Committed Purchaser to the aggregate Pro Rata Percentages of all Committed Purchasers in such Group, 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 such Group Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any action taken or omitted by such Group Agent under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; provided that no Committed Purchaser shall be liable for any portion of such


			96

742583266 14453710

liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Group Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

SECTION 11.05. Delegation of Duties. Each Group Agent may execute any of its duties through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. No Group Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

SECTION 11.06. Notice of Termination Events. No Group Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Unmatured Termination Event or Termination Event unless such Group Agent has received notice from the Administrative Agent, any other Group Agent, any other Purchaser Party, any Servicer or any SPV Entity stating that an Unmatured Termination Event or Termination Event has occurred hereunder and describing such Unmatured Termination Event or Termination Event. If a Group Agent receives such a notice, it shall promptly give notice thereof to the Purchaser Parties in its Group and to the Administrative Agent (but only if such notice received by such Group Agent was not sent by the Administrative Agent). A Group Agent may take such action concerning an Unmatured Termination Event or Termination Event as may be directed by Committed Purchasers in its Group representing a majority of the Commitments in such Group (subject to the other provisions of this Article XI), but until such Group Agent receives such directions, such Group Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, as such Group Agent deems advisable and in the best interests of the Conduit Purchasers and Committed Purchasers in its Group.

SECTION 11.07. Non-Reliance on Group Agent and Other Parties. Each Purchaser Party expressly acknowledges that neither the Group Agent for its Group nor any of such Group Agent’s directors, officers, agents or employees has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by such Group Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the any SPV Entity or any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by such Group Agent. Each Purchaser Party represents and warrants to the Group Agent for its Group that, independently and without reliance upon such Group Agent, any other Group Agent, the Administrative Agent or any other Purchaser Party and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, it has made and will continue to make its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, prospects, financial and other conditions and creditworthiness of any SPV Entity or any Affiliate thereof and the Pool 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 a Group Agent to any Purchaser Party in its Group, no Group Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Purchaser Party in its Group with any information concerning any SPV Entity or any Affiliate thereof that comes into the possession of such Group Agent or any of its directors, officers, agents, employees, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.

SECTION 11.08. Successor Group Agent. Any Group Agent may, upon at least thirty (30) days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, each SPV Entity, each Servicer and the Purchaser Parties in its Group, resign as Group Agent for its Group. Such resignation shall not become effective until a successor Group Agent is appointed by the Purchaser(s) in such Group. Upon such acceptance of its appointment as Group Agent for such Group hereunder by a successor Group Agent, such successor Group Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights and duties of the resigning Group Agent, and the resigning Group Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Transaction Documents. After any resigning Group Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article XI and Article XII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was a Group Agent.


			97

742583266 14453710

SECTION 11.09. Reliance on Group Agent. Unless otherwise advised in writing by a Group Agent or by any Purchaser Party in such Group Agent’s Group, each party to this Agreement may assume that (i) such Group Agent is acting for the benefit and on behalf of each of the Purchaser Parties in its Group, as well as for the benefit of each assignee or other transferee from any such Person and (ii) each action taken by such Group Agent has been duly authorized and approved by all necessary action on the part of the Purchaser Parties in its Group.

(iv) the commingling of Collections of Pool Receivables at any time with other funds;

(v) any third party investigation, litigation or proceeding (actual or threatened, but excluding any such investigation, litigation or proceeding brought by another SPV Entity Indemnified Party) against a SPV Entity Indemnified Party by reason of such SPV Entity Indemnified Party’s participation in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or the use of proceeds of any

Investments or in respect of any Pool Receivable or other Sold Assets and Pledged Collateral or any related Contract;

(vi) any third party claim (actual or threatened, but excluding any such claim brought by another SPV Entity Indemnified Party) against a SPV Entity Indemnified Party arising from any activity by any SPV Entity or any Affiliate of such SPV Entity in servicing, administering or collecting any Pool Receivable;

(c) If for any reason any indemnification to which a SPV Entity Indemnified Party would otherwise be entitled pursuant to the terms of Section 12.01(a) is unavailable to such SPV Entity Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold it harmless, then each SPV Entity shall contribute to such SPV Entity Indemnified Party the amount paid or payable by such SPV Entity Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative economic interests of such SPV Entity and its Affiliates on the one hand and such SPV Entity Indemnified Party on the other hand in the matters contemplated by this Agreement as well as the relative fault of each SPV Entity and its Affiliates and such SPV Entity Indemnified Party with respect to such loss, claim, damage or liability and any other relevant equitable considerations. The reimbursement, indemnity and contribution obligations of any SPV Entity under this Section shall, to the extent not duplicative, be in addition to any liability which such PV Entity may otherwise have.

Any

(c) If for any reason any indemnification to which a Servicer Indemnified Party would otherwise be entitled pursuant to the terms of Section 12.02(a) is unavailable to such Servicer Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold it harmless, then each Servicer shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Servicer Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative economic interests of the Servicers and its Affiliates on the one hand and such Servicer Indemnified Party on the other hand in the matters contemplated by this Agreement as well as the relative fault of the Servicers and its Affiliates and such Servicer Indemnified Party with respect to such loss, claim, damage or liability and any other relevant equitable considerations.

MISCELLANEOUS

SECTION 13.01. Amendments, Etc.

(a) No failure on the part of any Purchaser Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by any party from any such provision shall be effective unless in writing and signed by the Seller, the Administrative Agent and the Majority Group Agents, and each waiver or consent granted hereunder shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that (A) no amendment, waiver or consent shall be enforceable against any Servicer or Canadian Guarantor unless in writing and signed by such Servicer or Canadian Guarantor; (B) no amendment, waiver or consent shall increase any Committed Purchaser’s Commitment hereunder without the consent of such Committed Purchaser and (C) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent and each Group Agent:

All notices and other communications hereunder shall, unless otherwise stated herein, be in writing (which shall include facsimile communication) and faxed or delivered, to each party hereto, at its address set forth under its name on Schedule III hereto or at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other parties hereto. Notices and communications by facsimile shall be effective when sent (and shall be followed by hard copy sent by regular mail), and notices and communications sent by other means shall be effective when received.

SECTION 13.03. Assignability; Addition of Purchasers.

(a) Assignment by Conduit Purchasers. This Agreement and the rights of each Conduit Purchaser hereunder (including each Investment made by it hereunder) shall be assignable by such Conduit Purchaser and its successors and permitted assigns (i) to any Program Support Provider of such Conduit Purchaser without prior notice to or consent from the Seller or any other party, or any other condition or restriction of any kind, (ii) to any other Purchaser with prior notice to the Seller but without consent from the Seller or (iii) with the prior written consent of the Seller (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, that such consent shall not be required if a Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event has occurred and is continuing), to any other Eligible Assignee. Each assignor of an Investment or any interest therein may, in connection with the assignment or participation, disclose to the assignee or Participant any information relating to the Seller and its Affiliates, including the Pool Receivables, furnished to such assignor by or on behalf of the Seller and its Affiliates or by the Administrative Agent; provided that, prior to any such disclosure, the assignee or Participant agrees to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential information relating to the Seller and its Affiliates received by it from any of the foregoing entities in a manner consistent with Section 13.06(b). For the sake of clarity, any sale, assignment, participation, pledge or similar transfer by a Conduit Purchaser of any Investments, Sold Receivables, Sold Assets, or Pool Receivables (whether in whole or in part) shall require and be deemed a transfer of the associated rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect therewith.

(b) Assignment by Committed Purchasers. Each Committed Purchaser may assign to any Eligible Assignee or to any other Committed Purchaser all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment and any Investment or interests therein owned by it); provided, however that:

(i) except for an assignment by a Committed Purchaser to either an Affiliate of such Committed Purchaser or any other Committed Purchaser, each such assignment shall require the prior written consent of the Seller (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, that such consent shall not be required if a Termination Event or an Unmatured Termination Event has occurred and is continuing);


			102

742583266 14453710

(ii) each such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of all rights and obligations under this Agreement;

(iii) the amount being assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance Agreement with respect to such assignment) shall in no event be less than the lesser of (x) $10,000,000 and (y) all of the assigning Committed Purchaser’s Commitment;

(iv) each such assignment (or sale, participation, pledge or similar transfer) by a Committed Purchaser of any Investments, Sold Receivables, Sold Assets, or Pool Receivables (whether in whole or in part) shall require and be deemed a transfer of the associated rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect therewith; and

(v) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement.

Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, (x) the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement, and to the extent that rights and obligations under this Agreement have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Committed Purchaser hereunder and (y) the assigning Committed Purchaser shall, to the extent that rights and obligations have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, relinquish such rights and be released from such obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Committed Purchaser’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Committed Purchaser shall cease to be a party hereto).

(c) Register. The Administrative Agent shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Seller, maintain at its address referred to on Schedule III of this Agreement (or such other address of the Administrative Agent notified by the Administrative Agent to the other parties hereto) a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance Agreement delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Committed Purchasers and the Conduit Purchasers, the Commitment of each Committed Purchaser and the aggregate outstanding Capital (and stated interest) of the Investments of each Conduit Purchaser and Committed Purchaser from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Seller, the Servicers, the Administrative Agent, the Group Agents, and the other Purchaser Parties shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Committed Purchaser or Conduit Purchaser, as the case may be, under this Agreement for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Seller, any Servicer, any Group Agent, any Conduit Purchaser or any Committed Purchaser at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Procedure. Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement executed and delivered by an assigning Committed Purchaser and an Eligible Assignee or assignee Committed Purchaser, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement has been duly completed, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Seller and any Servicer.

(e) Participations. Each Committed Purchaser may sell participations to one or more Eligible Assignees (each, a “Participant”) in or to all or a portion of its rights and/or


			103

742583266 14453710

obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment and the interests in the Investments owned by it); provided, however, that:

(i) such Committed Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Commitment to the Seller hereunder) shall remain unchanged;

(ii) such Committed Purchaser shall remain solely responsible to the other parties to this Agreement for the performance of such obligations;

(iii) the Seller, the Servicers and each Purchaser Party shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Committed Purchaser in connection with such Committed Purchaser’s rights and obligations under this Agreement; and

(iv) any agreement or instrument pursuant to which such Committed Purchaser sells such a participation shall provide that such Committed Purchaser shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (except that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Committed Purchaser will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in clause (C) of the proviso to Section 13.01(a) that affects such Participant).

(f) Participant Register. Each Committed Purchaser that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Seller, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Investments or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Committed Purchaser shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Investments or its other obligations under this Agreement) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Investment or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Committed Purchaser shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(g) Assignments by Agents. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the Administrative Agent and each Group Agent therein shall be assignable by the Administrative Agent or such Group Agent, as the case may be, and its successors and assigns; provided that in the case of an assignment to a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Administrative Agent or such Group Agent, so long as no Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, such assignment shall require the Seller’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(h) Assignments by the Seller or the Servicers. Neither the Seller nor, except as provided in Section 8.01, the Servicers may assign any of its respective rights or obligations hereunder or any interest therein without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Group Agent (such consent to be provided or withheld in the sole discretion of such Person).


			104

742583266 14453710

(i) Addition of Purchasers or Groups. The Seller may, with written notice to the Administrative Agent and each Group Agent, add additional Persons as Purchasers (by creating a new Group) or cause an existing Purchaser to increase its Commitment; provided, however, that the Commitment of any existing Purchaser may only be increased with the prior written consent of such Purchaser. Each new Purchaser (or Group) shall become a party hereto, by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent and the Seller, an assumption agreement (each, an “Assumption Agreement”) in the form of Exhibit C hereto (which Assumption Agreement shall, in the case of any new Purchaser, be executed by each Person in such new Purchaser’s Group).

(j) Pledge to a Federal Reserve Bank. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, (i) any Purchaser, Program Support Provider or any of their respective Affiliates may at any time pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its interest in, to and under this Agreement (including, without limitation, rights to payment of Capital and Yield) and any other Transaction Document to secure its obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, without notice to or the consent of the Seller, the Servicers, any Affiliate thereof or any Purchaser Party; provided, however, that that no such pledge shall relieve such assignor of its obligations under this Agreement.

SECTION 13.04. Costs and Expenses. In addition to the rights of indemnification granted under Section 12.01 hereof, each SPV Entity agrees to pay, in accordance with Section 3.01(a) beginning on the Settlement Date following the Fiscal Month during which each SPV Entity has received written demand therefor, all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by any Purchaser Party in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (together with all amendments, restatements, supplements, consents and waivers, if any, from time to time hereto and thereto), including, without limitation, (i) Attorney Costs incurred in connection with obtaining advice regarding their rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents or in connection with the enforcement of any such rights or remedies and (ii) reasonable accountants’, auditors’ and consultants’ fees and expenses and fees and charges of any nationally recognized statistical rating agency incurred in connection with the administration and maintenance of this Agreement or advising the Administrative Agent or any other Purchaser Party as to their rights and remedies under this Agreement or in connection with the enforcement of any such rights or remedies.

(a) Each of each SPV Entity, the Administrative Agent, each Servicer, each Group Agent and each Purchaser hereby covenants and agrees (and each other Person who acquires any interest in an Investment shall be deemed to have covenanted and agreed) with each Conduit Purchaser and with each other that, until the date that is one year plus one day after the Notes or other outstanding senior indebtedness of such Conduit Purchaser have been paid in full, it will not institute or cause or participate in the institution of any Insolvency Proceeding against such Conduit Purchaser.

(b) Each of each Servicer, each Group Agent and each Purchaser hereby covenants and agrees (and each other Person who acquires any interest in an Investment shall be deemed to have covenanted and agreed) with each SPV Entity and with each other that, until the date that is one year plus one day after the Final Payout Date, it will not institute or cause or participate in the institution of any Insolvency Proceeding against any SPV Entity. The Administrative Agent hereby covenants and agrees that, until the date that is one year plus one day after the Final Payout Date, it will not institute or cause or participate in the institution of any Insolvency Proceeding against any SPV Entity without the consent of the Majority Group Agents.


			105

(c) Notwithstanding any provisions contained in this Agreement to the contrary, a Conduit Purchaser shall not, and shall be under no obligation to, pay any amount, if any, payable by it pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document unless (i) such Conduit Purchaser has received funds which may be used to make such payment and which funds are not required to repay such Conduit Purchaser’s Notes when due and (ii) after giving effect to such payment, either (x) such Conduit Purchaser could issue Notes to refinance all of its outstanding Notes (assuming such outstanding Notes matured at such time) in accordance with the program documents governing such Conduit Purchaser’s securitization program or (y) all of such Conduit Purchaser’s Notes are paid in full. Any amount which any Conduit Purchaser does not pay pursuant to the operation of the preceding sentence shall not constitute a claim (as defined in Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code) against or company obligation of such Conduit Purchaser for any such insufficiency unless and until such Conduit Purchaser satisfies the provisions of clauses (i) and (ii) above. The provisions of this Section 13.05 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

(a) Each of the Administrative Agent and the other Purchaser Parties agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (i) to its Related Parties, including its accountants, legal counsel, advisors and other agents, it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential, (ii) to the extent requested by any Governmental Authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it, (iii) to the extent required by Applicable Law or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (iv) to any other party to this Agreement, any Program Support Provider or any Originator, (v) in connection with the exercise of any remedies under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (vi) to any nationally recognized statistical rating organization in connection with obtaining or maintaining the rating of any Conduit Purchaser’s Notes or as contemplated by 17 CFR 240.17g-5(a)(3), (vii) subject to an agreement containing confidentiality undertakings substantially similar to those of this Section, to (x) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (y) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its Related Parties) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to any SPV Entity and its obligations, (viii) with the consent of any SPV Entity or any Servicer, as applicable, (ix) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this clause (a) or (y) becomes available to any Purchaser Party or any Affiliate of any Purchaser Party on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than any SPV Entity or any Servicer. For purposes of this clause (a), “Information” means all information received from any SPV Entity or any Servicer relating to any SPV Entity, any Servicer or their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to any Purchaser Party on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by any SPV Entity or any Servicer; provided that, in the case of information received from any SPV Entity or any Servicer after the date hereof (other than in connection with an Inspection), such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this clause (a) shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

(b) Each SPV Entity and each Servicer agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (i) to its Related Parties, including its accountants, legal counsel, advisors and other agents, it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential, (ii) to the extent

For purposes of this clause (b), “Information” means the Fee Letter and all information received from a Purchaser Party that is clearly identified as confidential at the time of delivery. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this clause (b) shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

No other third-party beneficiary rights are intended or conferred hereunder. This Agreement shall create and constitute the continuing obligations of the parties hereto in accordance with its terms and shall remain in full force and effect until the Final Payout Date; provided, however, that the provisions of Sections 4.01, 4.02, 4.03, 10.04, 10.06, 11.04, 12.01, 12.02, 13.04, 13.05, 13.06, 13.07, 13.09, 13.11 and 13.13 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

NOTHING HEREIN SHALL IN ANY WAY BE DEEMED TO LIMIT THE ABILITY OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OTHER SECURED PARTIES TO SERVE ANY SUCH LEGAL PROCESS, SUMMONS, NOTICES AND DOCUMENTS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR TO OBTAIN JURISDICTION OVER THE UNDERSIGNED OR BRING ACTIONS, SUITS OR PROCEEDINGS AGAINST THE UNDERSIGNED IN SUCH OTHER JURISDICTIONS, AND IN MANNER, AS MAY BE PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

If any Purchaser Party, whether by setoff or otherwise, has payment made to it with respect to any Seller Obligations in a greater proportion than that received by any other Purchaser Party entitled to receive a ratable share of such Seller Obligations, such Purchaser Party agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase for cash without recourse or warranty a portion of such Seller Obligations held by the other Purchaser Parties so that after such purchase each Purchaser Party will hold its ratable proportion of such Seller Obligations; provided that if all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from such Purchaser Party, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

SECTION 13.13. Limitation of Liability.

(a) No claim may be made by any SPV Entity or any Affiliate thereof or any other Person against any Purchaser Party or their respective Affiliates, members, directors, officers, employees, incorporators, 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 other Transaction Document, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection herewith or therewith; and each SPV Entity and each Servicer hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue upon any claim for any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor. None of the Purchaser Parties and their respective Affiliates shall have any liability to any SPV Entity or any Affiliate thereof or any other Person asserting claims on behalf of or in right of any SPV Entity or any Affiliate thereof in connection with or as a result of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except to the extent that any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses incurred by any SPV Entity or any Affiliate thereof result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Purchaser Party in performing its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party.

SECTION 13.14. Intent of the Parties. The parties have entered into this Agreement with the intention that the Investments and the obligations of any SPV Entity hereunder will be treated under United States federal, and applicable state, local and foreign tax law as debt (the “Intended Tax Treatment”). The SPV Entities, the Servicers, the Administrative Agent and the other Purchaser Parties agree to file no tax return, or take any action, inconsistent with the Intended Tax Treatment unless required by law. Each assignee and each Participant acquiring an


			109

742583266 14453710

interest in an Investment, by its acceptance of such assignment or participation, agrees to comply with the immediately preceding sentence.

SECTION 13.15. USA Patriot Act. Each of the Administrative Agent and each of the other Purchaser Parties hereby notifies each SPV Entity and each Servicer that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001) (the “PATRIOT Act”), the Administrative Agent and the other Purchaser Parties may be required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each SPV Entity and each Servicer, which information includes the name, address, tax identification number and other information regarding each SPV Entity and each Servicer that will allow the Administrative Agent and the other Purchaser Parties to identify each SPV Entity and each Servicer in accordance with the PATRIOT Act. This notice is given in accordance with the requirements of the PATRIOT Act. Each SPV Entity and each Servicer agrees to provide the Administrative Agent and each other Purchaser Parties, from time to time, with all documentation and other information required by bank regulatory authorities under “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including, without limitation, the PATRIOT Act.

SECTION 13.17. Severability. Any provisions of this Agreement which are prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 13.18. Mutual Negotiations. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents are the product of mutual negotiations by the parties thereto and their counsel, and no party shall be deemed the draftsperson of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any provision hereof or thereof or to have provided the same. Accordingly, in the event of any inconsistency or ambiguity of any provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, such inconsistency or ambiguity shall not be interpreted against any party because of such party’s involvement in the drafting thereof.

(c) If the Canadian Guarantor and the Canadian Servicer fail to deliver the fully executed Lock-Box Agreement with respect to any New Lock-Box Account to the Administrative Agent in the manner required by the preceding clause (a), then the Administrative Agent (in its sole discretion) may by written notice to each SPV Entity and each Servicer declare the Receivables of any or all Obligors that make payments into any New Lock-Box Account for which there is no executed Lock-Box Agreement to no longer constitute Eligible Receivables after the First Post-Closing Date, and such Receivables shall thereafter not constitute Eligible Receivables for any purpose of the Transaction Documents.

ARTICLE XIV

SPV ENTITY GUARANTY

SECTION 14.01. Guaranty of Payment. The Seller hereby absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to each Purchaser, the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties the prompt payment of the Sold Receivables by the related Obligors and all other payment obligations included in the Sold Assets (collectively, the “Seller Guaranteed Obligations”), in each case, in full when due, whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration or otherwise (such guaranty, the “Seller Guaranty”). The Canadian Guarantor hereby absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to each Purchaser, the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties the prompt payment of the Seller Obligations (collectively, the “Canadian Guarantor Guaranteed Obligations”; together with the Seller Guaranteed Obligations, the “Guaranteed Obligations”), in each case, in full when due, whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration or otherwise (such guaranty, the “Canadian Guarantor Guaranty”; together with the Seller Guaranty, the “SPV Entity Guarantees”). Each SPV Entity Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection and is a continuing irrevocable guaranty and shall apply to the related Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising. To the extent the obligations of any SPV Entity hereunder in respect of its SPV Entity Guaranty shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason (including because of any applicable state, provincial or federal law relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers) then such obligations of such SPV Entity shall be limited to the maximum amount that is permissible under Applicable Law (whether federal, state, provincial or otherwise and including the Bankruptcy Code and any other applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws).

SECTION 14.02. Unconditional Guaranty. The obligations of each SPV Entity under its SPV Entity Guaranty are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the related Guaranteed Obligations, any Contract, any Transaction Document or any other agreement or instrument referred to therein, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor. Each SPV Entity agrees that its SPV Entity Guaranty may be enforced by the Administrative Agent or the Purchasers without the necessity at any time of resorting to or exhausting any other security or collateral and without the necessity at any time of having


			111

742583266 14453710

recourse to any of the other Transaction Documents or any collateral, including the Sold Assets and Pledged Collateral, hereafter securing the Guaranteed Obligations, the Seller Obligations or otherwise, and each SPV Entity hereby waives the right to require the Administrative Agent or the Purchasers to make demand on or proceed against any Obligor, any Originator, any Servicer or any other Person or to require the Administrative Agent or the Purchasers to pursue any other remedy or enforce any other right. Each SPV Entity further agrees that no Person or Governmental Authority shall have any right to request any return or reimbursement of funds from the Administrative Agent or the Purchasers in connection with monies received under or in respect of any SPV Entity Guaranty. Each SPV Entity further agrees that nothing contained herein shall prevent the Administrative Agent or the Purchasers from suing on any of the other Transaction Documents or foreclosing its or their, as applicable, security interest in or lien on the Sold Assets, the Pledged Collateral or any other collateral securing the Guaranteed Obligations or the Seller Obligations or from exercising any other rights available to it or them, as applicable, under any Transaction Document, or any other instrument of security and the exercise of any of the aforesaid rights and the completion of any foreclosure proceedings shall not constitute a discharge of such SPV Entity’s obligations under its SPV Entity Guaranty; it being the purpose and intent of each SPV Entity that its obligations under its SPV Entity Guaranty shall be absolute, independent and unconditional under any and all circumstances. Neither any SPV Entity Guaranty nor any remedy for the enforcement thereof shall be impaired, modified, changed or released in any manner whatsoever by an impairment, modification, change, release, increase or limitation of the liability of any Obligor, any Originator or any Servicer or by reason of the bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, receivership, dissolution or winding-up of any Obligor, any Originator, any SPV Entity or any Servicer. Each SPV Entity hereby waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension, accrual, or increase of any of its Guaranteed Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser on its SPV Entity Guaranty or acceptance of its SPV Entity Guaranty. All dealings between any Obligor, any Originator, any Servicer or any SPV Entity, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers, on the other hand, shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon its SPV Entity Guaranty. Each SPV Entity hereby represents and warrants that it is, and immediately after giving effect to its SPV Entity Guaranty and the obligation evidenced hereby, will be, solvent. Each SPV Entity Guaranty and the obligations of the respective SPV Entity thereunder shall be valid and enforceable and shall not be subject to any limitation, impairment or discharge for any reason (other than payment in full of all related Guaranteed Obligations), including the occurrence of any of the following, whether or not the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser shall have had notice or knowledge of any of them: (A) any failure to assert or enforce or agreement not to assert or enforce, or the stay or enjoining, by order of court, by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise or enforcement of, any claim or demand or any right, power or remedy with respect to the Sold Assets, the Pledged Collateral or the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any guaranty of or other security for the payment of the Sold Assets or the Guaranteed Obligations, (B) any waiver, amendment or modification of, or any consent to departure from, any of the terms or provisions (including provisions relating to any Termination Event) of any Transaction Document or any agreement or instrument executed pursuant thereto, or of any guaranty or other security for the Sold Assets or the Guaranteed Obligations, (C) to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any agreement relating thereto, at any time being found to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect, (D) the application of payments received from any source to the payment of Debt other than the Guaranteed Obligations, even though the Administrative Agent might have elected to apply such payment to any part or all of the Guaranteed Obligations, (E) any failure to perfect or continue perfection of a security interest in any of the Sold Assets or other Pledged Collateral, (F) any defenses, set-offs or counterclaims which any SPV Entity, any Originator, any Servicer or any Obligor may allege or assert against the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser in respect of the Sold Assets or the Guaranteed Obligations, including failure of consideration, breach of warranty, payment, statute of frauds, statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction and usury, and

742583266 14453710

or the enforcement of its SPV Entity Guaranty, (C) any rights to set-offs, recoupments and counterclaims, and (D) promptness, diligence and any requirement that the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers protect, secure, perfect or insure any other security interest or lien or any property subject thereto; and (k) to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by Applicable Law which limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, or which may conflict with the terms of this Agreement and its SPV Entity Guaranty.

SECTION 14.05. Reinstatement. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, the obligations of each SPV Entity under this Article XIV shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of any Person in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, and each SPV Entity agrees that it will indemnify Administrative Agent and each Purchaser on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable fees of counsel) incurred by such Person in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

SECTION 14.06. Remedies. Each SPV Entity agrees that, as between the SPV Entities, on the one hand, and Administrative Agent and the Purchasers, on the other hand, the Guaranteed Obligations may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Article X (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in Article X) notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or preventing such Guaranteed Obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against any other Person and that, in the event of such declaration (or such Guaranteed Obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not due and payable by any other Person) shall forthwith become due and payable by the SPV Entities.

SECTION 14.07. Subrogation. Each SPV Entity hereby waives all rights of subrogation (whether contractual or otherwise) to the claims of the Administrative Agent, the Purchasers and the other Secured Parties against any Obligor, any Originator, any Servicer or any other Person in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations until such time as all Guaranteed Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash and the Final Payout Date has occurred. Each SPV Entity further agrees that, to the extent such waiver of its rights of subrogation is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason, any rights of subrogation shall be junior and subordinate to any rights the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser may have against any Obligor, any Originator, any Servicer or any other Person in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations.

SECTION 14.08. Inducement. The Purchasers have been induced to make the Investments and Releases under this Agreement in part based upon the SPV Entity Guarantees, and each SPV Entity desires that its SPV Entity Guaranty be honored and enforced as separate obligations of such SPV Entity, should Administrative Agent and the Purchasers desire to do so.

SECTION 14.09. Security Interest.

(a) To secure the prompt payment and performance of its SPV Entity Guaranty, each SPV Entity hereby pledges, mortgages, charges and assigns (by way of security) to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Purchasers and the other Secured Parties, and grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Purchasers and the other Secured Parties, a continuing security interest in and lien upon, all of the undertaking, property and assets


			114

742583266 14453710

of such SPV Entity, whether now or hereafter owned, existing or arising and wherever located, including the following (collectively, the “Pledged Collateral”): (i) all Unsold Receivables, (ii) all Related Security with respect to such Unsold Receivables, (iii) all Collections with respect to such Unsold Receivables, (iv) the Lock-Boxes and Collection Accounts and all amounts on deposit therein, and all certificates and instruments, if any, from time to time evidencing such Lock-Boxes and Collection Accounts and amounts on deposit therein, (v) all rights (but none of the obligations) of such SPV Entity under the applicable Purchase and Sale Agreement; (vi) all personal and fixture property or assets of such SPV Entity of every kind and nature including, in any event, all goods (including inventory, equipment and any accessions thereto), instruments (including promissory notes), documents, documents of title, accounts, chattel paper (whether tangible or electronic), deposit accounts, securities accounts, securities entitlements, letter-of-credit rights, commercial tort claims, securities and all other investment property, supporting obligations, money, any other contract rights or rights to the payment of money, insurance claims and proceeds, and all intangibles and general intangibles (including all payment intangibles) (each as defined in the UCC or the PPSA, as applicable) and (vii) all proceeds of, and all amounts received or receivable under any or all of, the foregoing.

(b) Each SPV Entity confirms that value has been given by the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties to such SPV Entity, that such SPV Entity has rights in its Pledged Collateral existing at the date of this Agreement, and that such SPV Entity and the Administrative Agent have not agreed to postpone the time for attachment of the security interests granted hereunder to any of the Pledged Collateral of such SPV Entity. The security interests granted hereunder with respect to the Pledged Collateral of each SPV Entity created by this Agreement shall have effect and be deemed to be effective whether or not the related Guaranteed Obligations of such SPV Entity under its SPV Entity Guaranty or any part thereof are owing or in existence before or after or upon the date of this Agreement. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the provision of any financial accommodation by any Secured Party shall oblige any Secured Party to make any financial accommodation or further financial accommodation available to either SPV Entity or any other Person.

(c) The Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) shall have, with respect to all the Pledged Collateral, and in addition to all the other rights and remedies available to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties), all the rights and remedies of a secured party under any applicable UCC or PPSA or under this Agreement, including Section 9.01. Each SPV Entity hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to file financing statements describing the collateral covered thereby as “all of the debtor’s personal property or assets” or words to that effect, notwithstanding that such wording may be broader in scope than the collateral described in this Agreement.

(d) Immediately upon the occurrence of the Final Payout Date, the Pledged Collateral shall be automatically released from the lien created hereby, and this Agreement and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of the Administrative Agent, the Purchasers and the other Purchaser Parties hereunder shall terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party, and all rights to the Pledged Collateral shall revert to the applicable SPV Entity; provided, however, that promptly following written request therefor by such SPV Entity delivered to the Administrative Agent following any such termination, and at the expense of such SPV Entity, the Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver to such SPV Entity UCC-3 termination statements (or equivalent PPSA discharges) and such other documents as such SPV Entity shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.

(e) For the avoidance of doubt, the grant of security interest pursuant to this Section 14.09 shall be in addition to, and shall not be construed to limit or modify, the sale of


			115

742583266 14453710

Sold Assets pursuant to Section 2.01(b) or the Seller’s grant of security interest pursuant to Section 4.05.

SECTION 14.10. Further Assurances. Promptly upon request, each SPV Entity shall deliver such instruments, assignments or other documents or agreements, and shall take such actions, as the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser deems appropriate to evidence or perfect its security interest and lien on any of the Pledged Collateral, or otherwise to give effect to the intent of this Article XIV.
