This RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AGREEMENT (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, this “Agreement”), dated as of October 30, 2020, is entered into by and among the VARIOUS ENTITIES LISTED ON SCHEDULE I HERETO (the “Originators”, and individually, each an “Originator”), CONCENTRIX CORPORATION (“Concentrix”), as the initial Servicer and as the Contributing Originator (as defined below), and CONCENTRIX RECEIVABLES, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”).
BACKGROUND:
1. The Company is a special purpose corporation, all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of which are owned by Concentrix;
2. The Originators (other than Concentrix) generate Receivables in the ordinary course of their business;
3. The Originators wish to sell and/or, in the case of Concentrix in its capacity as an Originator (Concentrix, in such capacity, the “Contributing Originator”), contribute Receivables to the Company, and the Company is willing to purchase and/or accept Receivables from the Originators, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein; and
4. The Originators and the Company intend this transaction to be a true sale and/or, in the case of the Contributing Originator, an absolute contribution and conveyance of Receivables by the Originators to the Company, providing the Company with the full benefits of ownership of the Receivables, and the Originators and the Company do not intend the transactions hereunder to be a loan from the Company to the Originators.
5. The Company intends to grant a security interest in the Receivables and their Related Rights to the Administrative Agent (for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties according to their Capital as increased or reduced from time to time) pursuant to the Receivables Financing Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements, provisions and covenants contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
DEFINITIONS
Unless otherwise indicated herein, capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Agreement are defined in Section 1.01 of the Receivables Financing Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Receivables Financing Agreement”), among the Company, as borrower, Concentrix, as the initial Servicer (in such capacity, the “Servicer”), the Persons from time to time party thereto as Lenders and as Group Agents, and PNC Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent, and PNC Capital Markets LLC, as Structuring Agent. The usage of terms and provisions set forth in Section 1.02 of the Receivables Financing Agreement shall apply hereto as though set forth herein in their entirety. All references herein to months are to calendar months unless otherwise expressly indicated.
ARTICLE I
AGREEMENT TO PURCHASE AND SELL
SECTION 1.1 Agreement To Purchase and Sell. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, each Originator agrees to sell, or in the case of the Contributing Originator, contribute to the Company, and the Company agrees to purchase, or in the case of the Contributing Originator and contributed Receivables, accept from such Originator, from time to time on or after the Initial Funding Date, but before the Purchase and Sale Termination Date (as defined in Section 1.4), all of such Originator’s right, title and interest in and to:
(a) each Receivable of such Originator that existed and was owing to such Originator at the closing of such Originator’s business on the Cut-Off Date, as defined below;
(b) each Receivable generated by such Originator after the Cut-Off Date to, but excluding, the Purchase and Sale Termination Date;
(c) all of such Originator’s interest in any goods (including returned goods), and documentation of title evidencing the shipment or storage of any goods (including returned goods), the sale of which gave rise to such Receivable;
(d) all instruments and chattel paper that may evidence such Receivable;
(e) all other security interests or liens and property subject thereto from time to time purporting to secure payment of such Receivable, whether pursuant to the Contract related to such Receivable or otherwise, together with all UCC financing statements or similar filings relating thereto;
(f) all of each Originator’s rights, interests and claims under the related Contracts and all supporting obligations, guaranties, indemnities, letters of credit (including any letter of credit rights), insurance and other agreements (including the related Contract) or arrangements of whatever character from time to time supporting or securing payment of such Receivable or otherwise relating to such Receivable, whether pursuant to the Contract related to such Receivable or otherwise;
(g) all books and records of each Originator to the extent related to any of the foregoing, and all rights, remedies, powers, privileges, title and interest (but not obligations) in and to each Lock-Box and all Collection Accounts, into which any Collections or other proceeds with respect to such Receivables may be deposited, and any related investment property acquired with any such Collections or other proceeds (as such term is defined in the applicable UCC); and
- 2 -
(i) all Collections and other proceeds (as defined in the UCC) of any of the foregoing.
All purchases and contributions hereunder shall be made without recourse, but shall be made pursuant to, and in reliance upon, the representations, warranties and covenants of such Originator set forth in this Agreement and each other Transaction Document. No obligation or liability to any Obligor on any Receivable is intended to be assumed by the Company hereunder, and any such assumption is expressly disclaimed. The property and the proceeds and rights described in clauses (c) through (i) are referred to herein, collectively, as the “Related Rights”, and the Company’s foregoing commitment to purchase or accept Receivables and Related Rights is herein called the “Purchase Facility.”
As used herein, “Cut-Off Date” means (a) with respect to each Originator party hereto on the date hereof, the date mutually agreed in writing among each Originator, the Company and the Administrative Agent in connection with the Initial Funding Date, and (b) with respect to any Originator that first becomes a party hereto after the date hereof, the Business Day immediately prior to the date on which such Originator becomes a party hereto or such other date as the Company and such Originator agree to in writing.
SECTION 1.2 Timing of Purchases.
(a) Initial Funding Date Purchases. Each Originator’s entire right, title and interest in (i) each Receivable that existed and was owing to such Originator at the Cut-Off Date, (ii) all Receivables created by such Originator after the Cut-Off Date, to and including, the Initial Funding Date, and (iii) all Related Rights with respect thereto automatically shall be deemed to have been sold or contributed, as applicable, by such Originator to the Company on the Initial Funding Date; provided that the sale, contribution or other conveyance of the Receivables and Related Rights hereunder on the Initial Funding Date shall be deemed to have occurred on the opening of the business on the date on which the first Advance is made under the Receivables Financing Agreement.
(b) Subsequent Purchases. After the Initial Funding Date, until the Purchase and Sale Termination Date, each Receivable and the Related Rights generated by each Originator shall be deemed to have been sold or contributed, as applicable, by such Originator to the Company immediately (and without further action) upon the creation of such Receivable (or, in in the case of contributed Receivables, immediately upon the transfer of such Receivable by the applicable Originator to the Contributing Originator).
SECTION 1.3 Consideration for Purchases. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Company agrees to make Purchase Price payments to the Originators and to reflect all capital contributions in accordance with Article III.
SECTION 1.4 Purchase and Sale Termination Date. The “Purchase and Sale Termination Date” shall be the earlier to occur of (a) the date the Purchase Facility is terminated pursuant to Section 8.2; (b) the Early Amortization Date and (c) the Final Payout Date.
- 3 -
SECTION 1.5 Intention of the Parties. It is the express intent of each Originator and the Company that each conveyance by such Originator to the Company pursuant to this Agreement of any Receivables and Related Rights, including, without limitation, all Receivables, if any, constituting “general intangibles” (as defined in the UCC), and all Related Rights be construed as a valid and perfected sale (or contribution) and absolute assignment (without recourse except as provided herein) of such Receivables and Related Rights by such Originator to the Company (rather than the grant of a security interest to secure a debt or other obligation of such Originator) and that the right, title and interest in and to such Receivables and Related Rights conveyed to the Company be prior to the rights of and enforceable against all other Persons at any time, including, without limitation, lien creditors, secured lenders, purchasers and any Person claiming through such Originator. However, if, contrary to the mutual intent of the parties, any conveyance of Receivables, including without limitation any Receivables constituting general intangibles as defined in the UCC, and all Related Rights is not construed to be both a valid and perfected sale (or contribution) and absolute assignment of such Receivables and Related Rights, and a conveyance of such Receivables and Related Rights that is prior to the rights of and enforceable against all other Persons at any time, including without limitation lien creditors, secured lenders, purchasers and any Person claiming through such Originator, then, it is the intent of such Originator and the Company that, (i) this Agreement also shall be deemed to be, and hereby is, a security agreement within the meaning of the UCC; and (ii) such Originator shall be deemed to have granted to the Company as of the date of this Agreement, and such Originator hereby grants to the Company, a security interest in, to and under, all of such Originator’s right, title and interest in and to the Receivables and the Related Rights transferred or purported to be transferred hereunder, whether now existing or hereafter created by such Originator, which security interest shall secure the obligations of such Originator under this Agreement.
ARTICLE II
PURCHASE REPORT; CALCULATION OF PURCHASE PRICE
SECTION 2.1 Purchase Report. On the Initial Funding Date and on each date when an Information Package or Interim Report is due to be delivered under the Receivables Financing Agreement (each such date, a “Purchase Report Date”), the Servicer shall deliver to the Company and each Originator a report in substantially the form of Exhibit A (each such report being herein called a “Purchase Report”) setting forth, among other things:
(a) the Purchase Price of all Receivables purchased by the Company from each Originator, or contributed to the capital of the Company by the Contributing Originator, as of the Cut-Off Date (in the case of the Purchase Report to be delivered on the Initial Funding Date);
(b) the Purchase Price of all Receivables purchased by the Company from each Originator, or contributed to the capital of the Company by the Contributing Originator, during the calendar month, week or day, as applicable, immediately preceding such Purchase Report Date (in the case of each subsequent Purchase Report); and
- 4 -
(c) the calculations of reductions of the Purchase Price for any Receivables as provided in Sections 3.3(a) and (b).
SECTION 2.2 Calculation of Purchase Price. The “Purchase Price” to be paid to each Originator on any Payment Date in accordance with the terms of Article III for the Receivables that are purchased hereunder from such Originator shall be (i) determined in accordance with the following formula and (ii) subject to the reductions as provided in Sections 3.3(a) and (b):
PP | = | OB x FMVD | ||
where: | ||||
PP | = | The Purchase Price for each Receivable as calculated on the relevant Payment Date (or, for the Initial Funding Date, on the Cut-Off Date). | ||
OB | = | The Outstanding Balance of such Receivable on the relevant Payment Date (or, for the Initial Funding Date, on the Cut-Off Date). | ||
FMVD | = | Fair Market Value Discount, as measured on such Payment Date, which is equal to a percentage calculated to provide the Company with a reasonable return on its investment in the Receivables after taking account of (i) the time value of money based upon the anticipated dates of collection of the Receivables and the cost to the Company of financing its investment in the Receivables during such period and (ii) the risk of nonpayment by the Obligors. The Originators and the Company may agree from time to time to change the Fair Market Value Discount based on changes in one or more of the items affecting the calculation thereof; provided that any change to the Fair Market Value Discount shall take effect as of the first day of a calendar month, shall apply only prospectively and shall not affect the Purchase Price payment in respect of Receivables which came into existence during any calendar month ending prior to the calendar month during which the Originators and the Company agree to make such change. |
- 5 -
“Payment Date” means (i) the Initial Funding Date and (ii) each Business Day thereafter that the Originators are open for business.
ARTICLE III
PAYMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE
SECTION 3.1 Initial Purchase Price Payment. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Company agrees to pay to each Originator the Purchase Price for the purchase to be made from such Originator on the Initial Funding Date (i) to the extent the Company has cash available thereof, partially in cash (in an amount to be agreed between the Company and such Originator and set forth in the initial Purchase Report), (ii) the remainder by issuing a promissory note in the form of Exhibit B to such Originator (each such promissory note, as it may be amended, supplemented, endorsed or otherwise modified from time to time, together with all promissory notes issued from time to time in substitution therefor or renewal thereof in accordance with the Transaction Documents, each being herein called a “Subordinated Note”) with an initial principal amount equal to the remaining Purchase Price payable to such Originator not paid in cash or contributed to the Company’s capital, and (iii) in the case of the Contributing Originator, at the Contributing Originator’s election, by accepting a contribution to its capital.
SECTION 3.2 Subsequent Purchase Price Payments. On each Payment Date subsequent to the Initial Funding Date, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Company shall pay to each Originator the Purchase Price for the Receivables and the Related Rights generated by such Originator on such Payment Date:
(a) FIRST, in cash to the extent the Company has cash available therefor and such payment is not prohibited under the Receivables Financing Agreement;
(b) SECOND, to the extent any portion of the Purchase Price remains unpaid, (i) the principal amount outstanding under the applicable Subordinated Note shall , subject to subclause (ii) below, be automatically increased by an amount equal to such remaining Purchase Price in an amount not to exceed the lesser of (A) the remaining unpaid portion of such Purchase Price and (B) the maximum aggregate amount of borrowings that could be borrowed under the Subordinated Notes without rendering the Borrower’s Net Worth less than the Required Capital Amount; and (ii) to the extent any portion of the Purchase Price remains unpaid after the allocations in clause (a) above, at the Contributing Originator’s election (in its sole discretion) by accepting a contribution to its capital in an amount equal to the remaining unpaid balance of such Purchase Price.
All amounts paid by the Company to any Originator shall be allocated first to the payment of any Purchase Price then due and unpaid, second to the payment of accrued and unpaid interest on the Subordinated Note of such Originator; third to the repayment of the principal outstanding on the Subordinated Note of such Originator to the extent of such outstanding principal thereof as of the date of such payment before such amounts may be allocated for any other purpose and fourth, as a distribution on capital. The Servicer shall make all appropriate record keeping entries with respect to each of the Subordinated Notes to reflect
- 6 -
the foregoing payments and reductions made pursuant to Section 3.3, and the Servicer’s books and records shall constitute rebuttable presumptive evidence of the principal amount of, and accrued interest on, each of the Subordinated Notes at any time. Each Originator hereby irrevocably authorizes the Servicer to xxxx the Subordinated Notes “CANCELLED” and to return the Subordinated Notes to the Company upon the final payment thereof after the occurrence of the Purchase and Sale Termination Date.
If, on any Business Day, (i) the Contributing Originator has determined in its discretion that it no longer wishes to contribute Receivables to the Company or (ii) the Company is unable to pay the Purchase Price for Receivables and Related Rights pursuant to this Section 3.2, then the Contributing Originator or the Originators (as applicable) shall on such Business Day provide written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders.
SECTION 3.3 Settlement as to Specific Receivables and Dilution.
(a) If, (i) on the day of purchase or contribution of any Receivable from an Originator hereunder, any of the representations or warranties set forth in Sections 5.8, 5.11, 5.13, 5.14, 5.20, 5.22, 5.23 and 5.24 are not true with respect to such Receivable or (ii) as a result of any action or inaction (other than solely as a result of the failure to collect such Receivable due to a discharge in bankruptcy or similar insolvency proceeding or other credit related reasons with respect to the relevant Obligor) of an Originator, on any subsequent day, any of such representations or warranties set forth in Sections 5.8, 5.11, 5.13, 5.14, 5.20, 5.22, 5.23 and 5.24 is no longer true with respect to such Receivable, then the Purchase Price with respect to such Receivable shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Outstanding Balance of such Receivable and shall be accounted to such Originator as provided in clause (c) below; provided, that if the Company thereafter receives payment on account of Collections due with respect to such Receivable, the Company promptly shall deliver such funds to such Originator.
(b) If, on any day, the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable purchased or contributed hereunder is reduced or adjusted as a result of any defective, rejected, returned, repossessed or foreclosed goods or services, or any revision, cancellation, allowance, rebate, credit memo, discount or other adjustment made by the Company, any Originator, the Servicer, or any Affiliate of the Servicer or any setoff, counterclaim or dispute between or among the Company or any Affiliate of the Company, an Originator or any Affiliate of an Originator, or the Servicer or any Affiliate of the Servicer, and an Obligor, then the Purchase Price with respect to such Receivable shall be reduced by the amount of such net reduction or adjustment and shall be accounted to such Originator as provided in clause (c) below.
(c) Subject to clause (d) below, any reduction in the Purchase Price of any Receivable pursuant to clause (a) or (b) above shall be applied as a credit for the account of the Company against the Purchase Price of Receivables subsequently purchased by the Company from such Originator hereunder; provided, however if as of any Settlement Date there have been insufficiently large purchases of Receivables from any Originator to create a Purchase Price sufficient to so apply such aggregate credits against, then on such Settlement Date the aggregate amount of such excess credits:
(i) to the extent of any outstanding principal amount under the Subordinated Note payable to such Originator, shall be deemed to be a payment under, and shall be deducted from the principal amount outstanding under, the Subordinated Note payable to such Originator; and
- 7 -
(ii) after making any deduction pursuant to clause (i) above, shall be paid in cash to the Company by such Originator.
(d) At any time (i) at and following the request of the Company (either with respect to any specific payment or all such payments), (ii) when an Event of Default or an Unmatured Event of Default exists under the Receivables Financing Agreement, (iii) when the Aggregate Capital exceeds the Borrowing Base at such time under the Receivables Financing Agreement or (iv) on or after the Purchase and Sale Termination Date or the Termination Date, the amount of any such credit shall be paid by such Originator to the Company by deposit in immediately available funds into a Collection Account for application by the Servicer to the same extent as if Collections of the applicable Receivable in such amount had actually been received on such date.
SECTION 3.4 Reconveyance of Receivables. In the event that an Originator has paid to the Company the full Outstanding Balance of any Receivable pursuant to Section 3.3, the Company shall reconvey such Receivable to such Originator, without representation or warranty, but free and clear of all liens, security interests, charges, and encumbrances created by the Company.

ARTICLE VII
ADDITIONAL RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
IN RESPECT OF RECEIVABLES
SECTION 7.1 Rights of the Company. Each Originator hereby authorizes the Company and the Servicer or their respective designees or assignees under the Receivables Financing Agreement (including, without limitation, the Administrative Agent) to take any and all steps in such Originator’s name reasonably necessary or desirable, in their respective determination, to collect all amounts due under any and all Receivables sold, contributed or otherwise conveyed or purported to be conveyed by it hereunder, including, without limitation, endorsing the name of such Originator on checks and other instruments representing Collections and enforcing such Receivables and the provisions of the related Contracts that concern
- 24 -
payment and/or enforcement of rights to payment; provided, however, the Administrative Agent or any other assignee under this Agreement shall not take any of the foregoing actions unless a Purchase and Sale Termination Event or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
SECTION 7.2 Responsibilities of the Originators. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding:
(a) Each Originator shall perform its obligations hereunder, and the exercise by the Company or its designee of its rights hereunder shall not relieve such Originator from such obligations.
(b) None of the Company, the Servicer, the Group Agents, or the Administrative Agent shall have any obligation or liability to any Obligor or any other third Person with respect to any Receivables, Contracts related thereto or any other related agreements, nor shall the Company, the Servicer, the Group Agents, or the Administrative Agent be obligated to perform any of the obligations of any Originator thereunder.
(c) Each Originator hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable power of attorney, with full power of substitution, coupled with an interest, during the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default to take in the name of such Originator all steps necessary or advisable to endorse, negotiate or otherwise realize on any writing or other right of any kind held or transmitted by such Originator or transmitted or received by the Company (whether or not from such Originator) in connection with any Receivable sold, contributed or otherwise conveyed or purported to be conveyed by it hereunder or Related Right.
SECTION 7.3 Further Action Evidencing Purchases. Each Originator agrees that from time to time, at its expense, it will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action that the Company, the Servicer, or the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in order to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the Receivables and Related Rights purchased by or contributed to the Company hereunder, or to enable the Company to exercise or enforce any of its rights hereunder or under any other Transaction Document. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon the request of the Company or the Administrative Agent, such Originator will execute (if applicable), authorize and file such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto or assignments thereof, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or appropriate.
Each Originator hereby authorizes the Company or its designee or assignee (including, without limitation, the Administrative Agent) to file one or more financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto and assignments thereof, without the signature of such Originator, relative to all or any of the Receivables and Related Rights sold, contributed or otherwise conveyed or purported to be conveyed by it hereunder, whether now existing or hereafter generated by such Originator. If any Originator fails to perform any of its agreements or obligations under this Agreement, the Company or its designee or assignee (including, without limitation, the Administrative Agent) may (but shall not be required to) itself perform, or cause the performance of, such agreement or obligation, and the expenses of the Company or its designee or assignee (including, without limitation, the Administrative Agent) incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by such Originator.
- 25 -
SECTION 7.4 Application of Collections. Any payment by an Obligor in respect of any indebtedness owed by it to any Originator shall, except as otherwise specified by such Obligor, required under the related contract with respect to such indebtedness, or required by applicable law and unless otherwise instructed by the Servicer (with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent) or the Administrative Agent, be applied as a Collection of any Receivable or Receivables of such Obligor to the extent of any amounts then due and payable thereunder (applied in order from the oldest outstanding Receivable to the newest outstanding Receivable) before being applied to any other indebtedness of such Obligor.
ARTICLE VIII
PURCHASE AND SALE TERMINATION EVENTS
SECTION 8.1 Purchase and Sale Termination Events. Each of the following events or occurrences described in this Section 8.1 shall constitute a “Purchase and Sale Termination Event” (each event which with notice or the passage of time or both would become a Purchase and Sale Termination Event being referred to herein as an “Unmatured Purchase and Sale Termination Event”):
(a) the Termination Date shall have occurred;
(b) any Originator shall fail to make when due any payment or deposit to be made by it under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party and such failure shall continue unremedied for two (2) Business Days;

(d) any Originator shall fail to perform or observe any term, covenant or agreement under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party to be performed or observed by such Originator (other than any such failure which would constitute a Purchase and Sale Termination Event under clause (a) or (b) of this Section 8.1), and such failure, solely to the extent capable of cure, shall continue for ten (10) Business Days.
SECTION 8.2 Remedies.
(a) Optional Termination. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Purchase and Sale Termination Event, the Company, with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Majority Group Agents, shall have the option, by notice to the Originators (with a copy to the Administrative Agent and the Group Agents), to declare the Purchase Facility as terminated.
- 26 -
(b) Remedies Cumulative. Upon any termination of the Purchase Facility pursuant to Section 8.2(a), the Company (and the Administrative Agent as the Company’s assignee) shall have, in addition to all other rights and remedies under this Agreement, all other rights and remedies provided under the UCC of each applicable jurisdiction and other applicable laws, which rights shall be cumulative.
ARTICLE IX
INDEMNIFICATION
SECTION 9.1 Indemnities by the Originators. Without limiting any other rights which the Company may have hereunder or under Applicable Law, each Originator jointly and severally hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, on an after-tax basis, the Company (and its assigns, including the Administrative Agent) and each of its officers, directors, employees and agents (each of the foregoing Persons being individually called a “Purchase and Sale Indemnified Party”), on demand, from and against any and all damages, losses, claims, judgments, liabilities, penalties, Taxes, reasonable costs and expenses, (including Attorney Costs) (all of the foregoing being collectively called “Purchase and Sale Indemnified Amounts”) awarded against or incurred by any of them arising out of or as a result of the failure of such Originator to perform its obligations under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or arising out of the claims asserted against a Purchase and Sale Indemnified Party relating to the transactions contemplated herein or therein or the use of proceeds thereof or therefrom, excluding, only Purchase and Sale Indemnified Amounts to the extent, (i) a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction holds that such Purchase and Sale Indemnified Amounts resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct by the Purchase and Sale Indemnified Party seeking indemnification, (ii) resulting from a claim brought by any Originator, the Servicer, or the Performance Guarantor against a Purchase and Sale Indemnified Party for breach in bad faith of such Purchase and Sale Indemnified Party’s obligations hereunder or under any other Transaction Document, if such party has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim against the Purchase and Sale Indemnified Party as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (iii) due to Pool Receivables that are uncollectible solely on account of the insolvency, bankruptcy, lack of creditworthiness or other financial inability to pay of the related Obligor or otherwise due to the credit risk of the Obligor and for which reimbursement would constitute recourse to any Originator, for uncollectible Receivables or (iv) such Purchase and Sale Indemnified Amounts include Taxes imposed or based on, or measured by, the gross or net income or receipts of such Purchase and Sale Indemnified Party by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Purchase and Sale Indemnified Party is organized (or any political subdivision thereof); provided, that nothing contained in this sentence shall limit the liability of such Originator or limit the recourse of any Purchase and Sale Indemnified Party to such Originator for any amounts otherwise specifically provided to be paid by such Originator hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing indemnification, but subject to the limitations set
- 27 -
forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of the previous sentence, each Originator jointly and severally shall indemnify each Purchase and Sale Indemnified Party for Purchase and Sale Indemnified Amounts relating to or resulting from:
(a) any representation, warranty or statement made or deemed made by such Originator (or any officer of such Originator) under or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, or any information or report delivered by or on behalf of such Originator pursuant hereto or thereto which shall have been untrue or incorrect when made or deemed made;
(b) the failure by such Originator to comply with its covenants, obligations and agreements contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or with any Applicable Law with respect to any Pool Receivable or the related Contract; or the failure of any Pool Receivable or the related Contract to conform to any such Applicable Law;
(c) the failure of any Receivable sold or contributed by such Originator included in the calculation of Net Receivables Pool Balance as an Eligible Receivable to be an Eligible Receivable at such time;
(d) the transfer by such Originator of any interest in any Pool Receivable or Related Right other than the transfer of any Pool Receivable and Related Rights to the Company pursuant to this Agreement and the grant of a security interest to the Company pursuant to this Agreement;
(e) the lack of an enforceable ownership interest, or a first priority perfected lien, in the Pool Receivables (and all Related Rights) originated by such Originator against all Persons (including any bankruptcy trustee or similar Person), in either case, free and clear of any Adverse Claim;
(f) the failure to have filed, or any delay in filing, financing statements, financing statement amendments, continuation statements or other similar instruments or documents under the UCC of any applicable jurisdiction or other Applicable Laws with respect to any Pool Receivable or the Related Rights;
(g) any suit or claim related to the Pool Receivables originated by such Originator (including any products liability or environmental liability claim arising out of or in connection with the property, products or services that are the subject of any Pool Receivable originated by such Originator);
(h) any dispute, claim, offset or defense (other than discharge in bankruptcy) of the Obligor to the payment of any Pool Receivable (including a defense based on such Pool Receivable or the related Contract not being a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Obligor enforceable against it in accordance with its terms), or any other claim resulting from or relating to collection activities with respect to such Pool Receivable or any other claim resulting from the sale of goods or the rendering of services related to such Pool Receivable or the furnishing or failure to furnish any such goods or services or other similar claim or defense not arising from the financial inability of any Obligor to pay undisputed indebtedness;
- 28 -
(i) the commingling of Collections of Pool Receivables at any time with other funds;
(j) the failure or delay to provide any Obligor with an invoice or other evidence of indebtedness;
(k) any failure of such Originator to perform any of its duties or obligations in accordance with the provisions hereof and of each other Transaction Document related to Pool Receivables, or of such Originator to timely and fully comply with the Credit and Collection Policy in regard to each Pool Receivable;
(l) any investigation, litigation or proceeding (actual or threatened) related to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or in respect of any Pool Receivable or any Related Rights;
(m) any claim brought by any Person other than a Purchase and Sale Indemnified Party arising from any activity by such Originator or any Affiliate of such Originator in servicing, administering or collecting any Pool Receivable; or
(n) the failure by the Originator to pay when due any taxes, including, without limitation, material sales, excise or personal property taxes.
If for any reason the indemnification provided above in this Section 9.1 is unavailable to a Purchase and Sale Indemnified Party or is insufficient to hold such Purchase and Sale Indemnified Party harmless, then each Originator jointly and severally with each other Originator, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Purchase and Sale Indemnified Party to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law.

The Schedules and Exhibits hereto are hereby incorporated by reference into and made a part of this Agreement.
SECTION 10.10 Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement. The parties agree to electronic contracting and signatures with respect to this Agreement. Delivery of an electronic signature to, or a signed copy of, this Agreement by facsimile, email or other electronic transmission shall be fully binding on the parties to the same extent as the delivery of the signed originals and shall be admissible into evidence for all purposes. The words “execution,” “execute”, “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in or related to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (other than the Notes) shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, the electronic matching of assignment terms and contract formations on electronic platforms approved by the Company, or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

- 32 -
endeavors to provide such manually signed signature pages as soon as reasonably practicable (but in any event within 30 days of such request or such longer period as the requesting Company, Administrative Agent or Group Agent and the Company and the Originators may mutually agree).
SECTION 10.11 Acknowledgment and Agreement. By execution below, each Originator expressly acknowledges and agrees that all of the Company’s rights, title, and interests in, to, and under this Agreement (but not its obligations), shall be assigned by the Company to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) pursuant to the Receivables Financing Agreement, and such Originator consents to such assignment. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that the Secured Parties and the Administrative Agent are third party beneficiaries of the rights of the Company arising hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents to which such Originator is a party, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, during the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default under the Receivables Financing Agreement, the Administrative Agent, and not the Company, shall have the sole right to exercise all such rights and related remedies.
SECTION 10.12 No Proceeding. Each Originator hereby agrees that it will not institute, or join any other Person in instituting, against the Company any Insolvency Proceeding so long as any obligations of the Company pursuant to the Receivables Financing Agreement or any other Transaction Document remains outstanding and for at least one year and one day following the day on which such obligations are paid in full. Each Originator further agrees that notwithstanding any provisions contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall not, and shall not be obligated to, pay any amount in respect of any Subordinated Note or otherwise to such Originator pursuant to this Agreement unless the Company has received funds which may, subject to Section 4.01 of the Receivables Financing Agreement, be used to make such payment. Any amount which the Company does not pay pursuant to the operation of the preceding sentence shall not constitute a claim (as defined in §101 of the Bankruptcy Code) against or corporate obligation of the Company by such Originator for any such insufficiency unless and until the provisions of the foregoing sentence are satisfied. The agreements in this Section 10.12 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
SECTION 10.13 Limited Recourse. Except as explicitly set forth herein, the obligations of the Company under this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents to which it is a party are solely the obligations of the Company. No recourse under any Transaction Document shall be had against, and no liability shall attach to, any officer, employee, director, or beneficiary, whether directly or indirectly, of the Company. The agreements in this Section 10.13 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
SECTION 10.14 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be in conflict with any applicable statute or rule of law or is otherwise held to be unenforceable for any reason whatsoever, such circumstances shall not have the effect of rendering the provision in question inoperative or unenforceable in any other case or circumstance, or of rendering any other provision or provisions herein contained invalid, inoperative, or unenforceable to any extent whatsoever.

Exhibit B-3 | Receivables Purchase Agreement |
Holder would be entitled except for this clause (b) shall be made directly to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Senior Interest Holders); (ii) the Holder shall promptly file a claim or claims, in the form required in any Bankruptcy Proceedings, for the full outstanding amount of this Subordinated Note, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause said claim or claims to be approved and all payments and other distributions in respect thereof to be made directly to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Senior Interest Holders) until the Senior Interests shall have been paid and performed in full and in cash; and (iii) the Holder hereby irrevocably agrees that the Administrative Agent (acting on behalf of the Secured Parties), may in the name of the Holder or otherwise, demand, xxx for, collect, receive and receipt for any and all such payments or distributions, and file, prove and vote or consent in any such Bankruptcy Proceedings with respect to any and all claims of the Holder relating to this Subordinated Note, in each case until the Senior Interests shall have been paid and performed in full and in cash;

All payments and distributions received by the Administrative Agent in respect of this Subordinated Note, to the extent received in or converted into cash, may be applied by the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Senior Interest Holders) first to the payment of any and all expenses (including Attorney Costs) paid or incurred by the Senior Interest Holders in enforcing these Subordination Provisions, or in endeavoring to collect or realize upon this Subordinated Note, and any balance thereof shall, solely as between the Holder and the Senior Interest Holders, be applied by the Administrative Agent (in the order of application set forth in Section 4.01(a) of the Receivables Financing Agreement) toward the payment of the Senior Interests; but as between the Company and its creditors, no such payments or distributions of any kind or character shall be deemed to be payments or distributions in respect of the Senior Interests;

Nothing contained in these Subordination Provisions or elsewhere in this Subordinated Note is intended to or shall impair, as between the Company, its creditors (other than the Senior Interest Holders) and the Holder, the Company’s obligation, which is unconditional and absolute, to pay the Holder the principal of and interest on this Subordinated Note as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof or to affect the relative rights of the Holder and creditors of the Company (other than the Senior Interest Holders);
(f) The Holder shall not, until the Senior Interests have been paid and performed in full and in cash, (i) cancel, waive, forgive, transfer or assign, or commence legal proceedings to enforce or collect, or subordinate to any obligation of the Company, howsoever created, arising or evidenced, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, or now or hereafter existing, or due or to become due, other than the Senior Interests, this Subordinated Note or any rights in respect hereof or (ii) convert this Subordinated Note into an equity interest in the Company, unless the Holder shall, in either case, have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Majority Group Agents;
(g) The Holder shall not, without the advance written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Majority Group Agents, commence, or join with any other Person in commencing, any Bankruptcy Proceedings with respect to the Company until at least one year and one day shall have passed since the Senior Interests shall have been paid and performed in full and in cash;
(h) If, at any time, any payment (in whole or in part) of any Senior Interest is rescinded or must be restored or returned by a Senior Interest Holder (whether in connection with Bankruptcy Proceedings or otherwise), these Subordination Provisions shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, as though such payment had not been made;
(i) Each of the Senior Interest Holders may, from time to time, at its sole discretion, without notice to the Holder, and without waiving any of its rights under these Subordination Provisions, take any or all of the following actions: (i) retain or obtain an interest in any property to secure any of the Senior Interests; (ii) retain or obtain the primary or secondary obligations of any other obligor or obligors with respect to any of the Senior Interests; (iii) extend or renew for one or more periods (whether or not longer than the original period), alter or exchange any of the Senior Interests, or release or compromise any obligation of any nature with respect to any of the Senior Interests; (iv) amend, supplement, amend and restate, or otherwise modify any Transaction Document; and (v) release its security interest in, or surrender, release or permit any substitution or exchange for all or any part of any rights or property securing any of the Senior Interests, or extend or renew for one or more periods (whether or not longer than the original period), or release, compromise, alter or exchange any obligations of any nature of any obligor with respect to any such rights or property;
Exhibit B-5 | Receivables Purchase Agreement |
(j) The Holder hereby waives: (i) notice of acceptance of these Subordination Provisions by any of the Senior Interest Holders; (ii) notice of the existence, creation, non-payment or non-performance of all or any of the Senior Interests; and (iii) all diligence in enforcement, collection or protection of, or realization upon, the Senior Interests, or any thereof, or any security therefor;
(k) Each of the Senior Interest Holders may, from time to time, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Transaction Documents to which such Persons are party, but without notice to the Holder, assign or transfer any or all of the Senior Interests, or any interest therein; and, notwithstanding any such assignment or transfer or any subsequent assignment or transfer thereof, such Senior Interests shall be and remain Senior Interests for the purposes of these Subordination Provisions, and every immediate and successive assignee or transferee of any of the Senior Interests or of any interest of such assignee or transferee in the Senior Interests shall be entitled to the benefits of these Subordination Provisions to the same extent as if such assignee or transferee were the assignor or transferor; and
(l) These Subordination Provisions constitute a continuing offer from the Holder to all Persons who become the holders of, or who continue to hold, Senior Interests; and these Subordination Provisions are made for the benefit of the Senior Interest Holders, and the Administrative Agent may proceed to enforce such provisions on behalf of each of such Persons.
10. General. No failure or delay on the part of the Originator in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power or right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right. No amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent with respect to, any provision of this Subordinated Note shall in any event be effective unless (i) the same shall be in writing and signed and delivered by the Company and the Holder and (ii) all consents required for such actions under the Transaction Documents shall have been received by the appropriate Persons, including, for the avoidance of doubt, in the case of any such amendment, modification, waiver or consent, the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Majority Group Agents.
11. Maximum Interest. Notwithstanding anything in this Subordinated Note to the contrary, the Company shall never be required to pay unearned interest on any amount outstanding hereunder and shall never be required to pay interest on the principal amount outstanding hereunder at a rate in excess of the maximum nonusurious interest rate that may be contracted for, charged or received under applicable federal or state law (such maximum rate being herein called the “Highest Lawful Rate”). If the effective rate of interest which would otherwise be payable under this Subordinated Note would exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, or if the holder of this Subordinated Note shall receive any unearned interest or shall receive monies that are deemed to constitute interest which would increase the effective rate of interest payable
Exhibit B-6 | Receivables Purchase Agreement |
by the Company under this Subordinated Note to a rate in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then (i) the amount of interest which would otherwise be payable by the Company under this Subordinated Note shall be reduced to the amount allowed by Applicable Law, and (ii) any unearned interest paid by the Company or any interest paid by the Company in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate shall be refunded to the Company. Without limitation of the foregoing, all calculations of the rate of interest contracted for, charged or received by the Originator under this Subordinated Note that are made for the purpose of determining whether such rate exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to the Originator (such Highest Lawful Rate being herein called the “Originator’s Maximum Permissible Rate”) shall be made, to the extent permitted by usury laws applicable to the Originator (now or hereafter enacted), by amortizing, prorating and spreading in equal parts during the actual period during which any amount has been outstanding hereunder all interest at any time contracted for, charged or received by the Originator in connection herewith. If at any time and from time to time (i) the amount of interest payable to the Originator on any date shall be computed at the Originator’s Maximum Permissible Rate pursuant to the provisions of the foregoing sentence and (ii) in respect of any subsequent interest computation period the amount of interest otherwise payable to the Originator would be less than the amount of interest payable to the Originator computed at the Originator’s Maximum Permissible Rate, then the amount of interest payable to the Originator in respect of such subsequent interest computation period shall continue to be computed at the Originator’s Maximum Permissible Rate until the total amount of interest payable to the Originator shall equal the total amount of interest which would have been payable to the Originator if the total amount of interest had been computed without giving effect to the provisions of the foregoing sentence.
12. No Negotiation. This Subordinated Note is not negotiable.
13. Governing Law. THIS SUBORDINATED NOTE, INCLUDING THE RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF THE PARTIES HERETO, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (INCLUDING SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, BUT WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY OTHER CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS THEREOF).
14. Captions. Paragraph captions used in this Subordinated Note are for convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of any provision of this Subordinated Note.
