PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS. Certain terms that are capitalized and used throughout this Agreement are defined in Exhibit I. References in the Exhibits hereto to the “Agreement” refer to this Agreement, as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time.

The Seller (i) desires to sell, transfer and assign an undivided percentage interest in a pool of receivables, and the Purchasers desire to acquire such undivided percentage interest, as such percentage interest shall be adjusted from time to time based upon, in part, reinvestment payments that are made by such Purchasers and (ii) may, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, request that an LC Bank issue or cause the issuance of one or more Letters of Credit.

This Agreement amends and restates in its entirety, as of the Closing Date, the Receivables Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 31, 2011 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified prior to the date hereof, the “Original Agreement”), among the Seller, the Servicer, the various conduit purchasers, related committed purchasers, LC participants and purchaser agents party thereto, Xxxxx, as the LC Bank, and the Administrator. In connection with the amendment and restatement of the Original Agreement, (i) Xxxxx, in each of its capacities, has terminated all of its rights and obligations under the Original Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents pursuant that that certain Payoff Letter, dated as of the date hereof (the “Xxxxx Payoff Letter”), among Xxxxx, the Seller, the Servicer, the Administrator and each of the other parties thereto, and is no longer a party to the Original Agreement or any other Transaction Document, (ii) each of Credit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank (“Credit Agricole”) and Atlantic Asset Securitization LLC (“Atlantic”), in each of their respective capacities, has terminated all of its respective rights and obligations under the Original Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents pursuant that that certain Payoff Letter, dated as of the date hereof (the “Credit Agricole Payoff Letter”), among Credit Agricole, Atlantic, the Seller, the Servicer, the Administrator and each of the other parties thereto, and neither Credit Agricole nor Atlantic is any longer a party to the Original Agreement or any other Transaction Document and (iii) the parties thereto desire that BNS and PNC, and each of BNS and PNC, by its execution and delivery of its signature to this Agreement hereby agrees to, each become an LC Bank. Notwithstanding the amendment and restatement of the Original Agreement by this Agreement, (i) the Seller and Servicer shall continue to be liable to each of the Indemnified Parties and Affected Persons for the fees and expenses payable by the Seller and/or Servicer, as applicable, which are accrued and unpaid under the Original Agreement on the date hereof (collectively, the “Original Agreement Outstanding Amounts”) and all agreements to indemnify such parties in connection with events or conditions arising or existing

prior to the effective date of this Agreement and (ii) the security interest in favor of the Administrator created under the Original Agreement shall remain in full force and effect as security for such Original Agreement Outstanding Amounts until such Original Agreement Outstanding Amounts shall have been paid in full. Upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, each reference to the Original Agreement in any other document, instrument or agreement shall mean and be a reference to this Agreement. Nothing contained herein, unless expressly herein stated to the contrary, is intended to amend, modify or otherwise affect any other instrument, document or agreement executed and/or delivered in connection with the Original Agreement.

In consideration of the mutual agreements, provisions and covenants contained herein, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I.

AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF THE PURCHASES

Section 1.1 Purchase Facility.

(a) On the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, the Seller may, from time to time before the Facility Termination Date, (i) request that (x) the Conduit Purchasers ratably (based on the Ratable Share of their respective Purchaser Groups) make purchases (and deemed purchases) of and reinvestments in, or (y) only if a Conduit Purchaser denies such request or is unable to fund (and provides notice of such denial or inability to the Seller, the Administrator and its Purchaser Agent), the Related Committed Purchasers ratably (based on their respective Commitments) make purchases (and deemed purchases) of and reinvestments in, undivided percentage ownership interests with regard to the Purchased Interest from the Seller and (ii) request that an LC Bank issue or cause the issuance of Letters of Credit, in each case subject to the terms hereof (each such purchase, deemed purchase, reinvestment or issuance is referred to herein as a “Purchase”). Subject to Section 1.4(b) concerning reinvestments, at no time will a Conduit Purchaser have any obligation to make a Purchase. Each Related Committed Purchaser severally hereby agrees, on the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, to make purchases of and reinvestments in undivided percentage ownership interests with regard to the Purchased Interest from the Seller from time to time from the date hereof to the Facility Termination Date, based on the applicable Purchaser Group’s Ratable Share of each Purchase requested pursuant to Section 1.2(a) (and, in the case of each Related Committed Purchaser, its Commitment Percentage of its Purchaser Group’s Ratable Share of such Purchase) and, on the terms of and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, each LC Bank hereby agrees to issue Letters of Credit in return for undivided percentage ownership interests with regard to the Purchased Interest from the Seller from time to time from the date hereof to the Facility Termination Date. Notwithstanding the requirement set forth in this paragraph (a) or otherwise herein that all Funded Purchases hereunder by Conduits and Committed Purchasers be made ratably, based on the Ratable Share of their respective Purchaser Groups or based on their respective Commitments, (x) at any time when any Purchaser Group’s Actual Share of the Exposure would be less than its Ratable Share of the Exposure after giving effect to such Funded Purchase, such Funded Purchase (or portion thereof) shall be made on a non ratable basis by the Purchasers in such Purchaser Group with the largest Deficient Share immediately prior to such Funded Purchase in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the amount by which, after giving effect thereto,

such Purchaser Group would no longer have the largest Deficient Share (or, if after giving effect to the entire amount of any requested Funded Purchase by such Purchaser Group, such Purchaser Group would continue to have the largest Deficient Share, the entire amount of such requested Funded Purchase) and (ii) the amount by which, after giving effect thereto, such Purchaser Group’s Actual Share of the Exposure would equal its Ratable Share of the Exposure and (y) at any time after giving effect to the preceding clause (x), each Purchaser Group’s Actual Share of its Exposure equals its Ratable Share of its Exposure, such Funded Purchase (or portion thereof) by (A) the Conduit Purchasers shall be made ratably (based on the Ratable Share of their respective Purchaser Groups) and (B) the Related Committed Purchasers shall be made ratably (based on their respective Commitments). Notwithstanding further anything set forth in this paragraph (a) or otherwise herein to the contrary, under no circumstances shall any Purchaser make any purchase or reinvestment (including, without limitation, any Purchases deemed to have been requested by Seller pursuant to Section 1.1(b)) or issue any Letters of Credit hereunder, as applicable, if, after giving effect to such Purchase, the (i) aggregate outstanding amount of the Capital of such Purchaser, when added to all other Capital of all other Purchasers in such Purchaser’s Purchaser Group would exceed (A) its Purchaser Group’s Group Commitment, minus (B) the LC Participation Amount with respect to the related LC Bank, (ii) the Exposure would exceed the Purchase Limit, (iii) Aggregate LC Participation Amount would exceed the lesser of (A) the aggregate of the Commitments of the XX Xxxxx and (B) the LC Sublimit and (iv) the LC Participation Amount with respect to any LC Bank would exceed such LC Bank’s Commitment.

The Seller may use the proceeds of any purchase by the Purchasers hereunder to satisfy its Reimbursement Obligation to the XX Xxxxx (ratably, based on the outstanding amounts funded by each LC Bank) pursuant to Section 1.14 below.

(b) In the event the Seller fails to reimburse an LC Bank for the full amount of any drawing under its Letter of Credit on the applicable Drawing Date (out of its own funds available therefor) pursuant to Section 1.14(b), then the Seller shall, automatically (and without the requirement of any further action on the part of any Person hereunder), be deemed to have requested a new purchase from the Conduit Purchasers (and if any Conduit Purchaser is unable or unwilling to fund, the applicable Related Committed Purchaser), on such date, on the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, in an amount equal to the amount of such Reimbursement Obligation at such time. Subject to the limitations on funding set forth in paragraph (a) above (and the other requirements and conditions herein), the Conduit Purchasers or Related Committed Purchasers, as applicable, shall fund such deemed purchase request and deliver the proceeds thereof directly to the Administrator to be immediately distributed (ratably) to such LC Bank in satisfaction of the Seller’s Reimbursement Obligation pursuant to Section 1.14(b), below, to the extent of the amounts permitted to be funded by the Conduit Purchasers or Related Committed Purchasers, as applicable, at such time, hereunder.

(c) The Seller may, upon at least 15 days’ written notice to the Administrator, terminate the Purchase Facility in whole or, upon at least 15 days’ written notice to the Administrator, from time to time, irrevocably reduce in part the unused portion of the Purchase Limit (but not below the amount that would cause the Aggregate Capital plus the Adjusted LC Participation Amount to exceed the Purchase Limit or would cause the Group Capital of any

Purchaser Group to exceed its Group Commitment, in each case after giving effect to such reduction); provided, that each partial reduction shall be in the amount of at least $5,000,000, or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, and that, unless terminated in whole, the Purchase Limit shall in no event be reduced below $100,000,000. Each reduction in the Commitments hereunder shall be made ratably among the Purchasers (other than Conduit Purchasers) in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages and their respective Commitments. The Administrator shall promptly advise the Purchaser Agents of any notice received by it pursuant to this Section 1.1(c). In addition to and without limiting any other requirements for termination, prepayment and/or the funding of the LC Collateral Account hereunder, no such termination or reduction that causes the Unfunded LC Bank Commitment to exceed the Adjusted LC Participation Amount shall be effective unless and until (i) in the case of a termination, the amount on deposit in the LC Collateral Account is at least equal to the then outstanding Aggregate LC Participation Amount and (ii) in the case of a partial reduction, the amount on deposit in the LC Collateral Account is at least equal to the positive difference between the then outstanding Aggregate LC Participation Amount and the Purchase Limit as so reduced by such partial reduction.

If, on any day prior to the Facility Termination Date:

(x) there are amounts on deposit in the LC Collateral Account, and

(y) the sum of (i) the amounts on deposit in the LC Collateral Account and (ii) the Unfunded LC Bank Commitment exceed the Aggregate LC Participation Amount,

the Administrator shall, so long as no Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, promptly transfer to the Seller from the LC Collateral Account an amount equal to the lesser of (A) such excess and (B) the balance of the amounts on deposit in the LC Collateral Account.

If, on any day on and after the Facility Termination Date:

(x) there are amounts on deposit in the LC Collateral Account, and

(y) the amounts on deposit in the LC Collateral Account exceed 105% of the Aggregate LC Participation Amount, the Administrator shall release such excess from the LC Collateral Account and such amounts released shall be deemed to be Collections of Pool Receivables and applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.4(d)(ii) of this Agreement.

(d) Each Conduit Purchaser hereby agrees with respect to itself that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to fund and maintain its Funded Purchases and reinvestments through the issuance of Notes unless it is prohibited (contractually or otherwise) from funding through the issuance of Notes; provided, that (i) no Conduit Purchaser shall be required to use such commercially reasonable efforts to so fund or maintain through the issuance of Notes at any time a Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, (ii) nothing herein is (or shall be construed as) a commitment by any Conduit Purchaser to fund or maintain any Funded Purchase or reinvestment through the issuance of Notes and (iii) at no time will any Conduit Purchaser be obligated to make any Purchase hereunder.

Section 1.2 Making Purchases.

(a) Seller may request a purchase (but not reinvestment) of undivided percentage ownership interests with regard to the Purchased Interest hereunder to be made in cash on any day upon the Seller’s irrevocable written notice in the form of Annex B (each, a “Purchase Notice”) delivered to the Administrator and each Purchaser Agent in accordance with Section 5.2 (which notice must be received by the Administrator and each Purchaser Agent before noon, New York time) at least one Business Day before the requested Purchase Date, which notice shall specify, (A) the amount requested to be paid to the Seller (such amount, which shall not be less than $2,500,000 (or such lesser amount as agreed to by the Administrator and each Purchaser Agent) and shall be in integral multiples of $250,000 in excess thereof, being the Capital relating to the undivided percentage ownership interest then being purchased with respect to each Purchaser Group), (B) the date of such purchase (which shall be a Business Day), and (C) the pro forma calculation of the Purchased Interest after giving effect to the increase in the Aggregate Capital resulting from such purchase.

(b) On the date of each purchase requested by Seller pursuant to Section 1.2(a), each applicable Conduit Purchaser or Related Committed Purchaser, as the case may be, shall, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Exhibit II, make available to the Administrator by wire transfer to the Administration Account, no later than noon (New York time), an amount in immediately available funds equal to the portion of Capital relating to the undivided percentage ownership interest then being purchased by such Purchaser. Upon receipt of such amounts by the Administrator in the Administration Account, the Administrator shall no later than 3:00 p.m. (New York time) make available to the Seller in same day funds on the date of such purchase by deposit to the Purchase Account (or such other account as may be designated in writing by the Seller to the Administrator), such amounts received by the Administrator in the Administration Account.

(c) Effective on the date of each Purchase pursuant to this Agreement, the Seller hereby sells and assigns to the Administrator for the benefit of the Purchasers (ratably, based on the Exposure outstanding at such time for each such Purchaser’s Capital) an undivided percentage ownership interest, subject to the terms hereof (including, without limitation, the settlement provisions of Section 1.4), in: (i) each Pool Receivable then existing, (ii) all Related Security with respect to such Pool Receivables, and (iii) all Collections with respect to, and other proceeds of, such Pool Receivables and Related Security.

(d) To secure all of the Seller’s obligations (monetary or otherwise) under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, whether now or hereafter existing or arising, due or to become due, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, the Seller hereby grants to the Administrator (for the benefit of the Purchasers, the Purchaser Agents and their respective assigns) a security interest in all of the Seller’s right, title and interest (including any undivided interest of the Seller) in, to and under all of the following, whether now or hereafter owned, existing or arising: (i) all Pool Receivables, (ii) all Related Security with respect to such Pool Receivables, (iii) all Collections with respect to such Pool Receivables, (iv) the LC Collateral Account, the Lock-Box Accounts and all amounts on deposit therein, and all certificates and instruments, if any, from time to time evidencing such Accounts and amounts

on deposit therein, (v) all rights (but none of the obligations) of the Seller under the Purchase and Sale Agreement, (vi) all proceeds of, and all amounts received or receivable under any or all of, the foregoing and (vii) all of its other property (collectively, the “Pool Assets”). The Seller hereby authorizes the Administrator 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. The Administrator (on behalf of the Purchasers and their assigns) shall have, with respect to the Pool Assets, and in addition to all the other rights and remedies available to the Administrator and the Purchasers, all the rights and remedies of a secured party under any applicable UCC.

(e) Provided that no Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing, the Seller may request the extension of the Scheduled Commitment Termination Date by providing written notice to the Administrator and each Purchaser Agent; provided such request is made not more than 90 days prior to, and not less than 60 days prior to, the then current Scheduled Commitment Termination Date. In the event that the Purchasers are all agreeable to such extension, the Administrator shall so notify the Seller and the Servicer in writing (it being understood that any Purchaser may accept or decline such a request in its sole and absolute discretion and on such terms as they may elect) not less than 30 days prior to the then current Scheduled Commitment Termination Date, and the Seller, the Servicer, the Administrator, the Purchaser Agents and the Purchasers shall enter into such documents as the Administrator, the Purchaser Agents and the Purchasers may deem necessary or appropriate to reflect such extension, and all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Purchasers, the Purchaser Agents and the Administrator in connection therewith (including reasonable Attorney Costs) shall be paid by the Seller. In the event any Purchaser declines the request for such extension, such Purchaser (or its Purchaser Agent) shall so notify the Administrator and the Administrator shall so notify the Seller of such determination; provided, that the failure of the Administrator to notify the Seller of the determination to decline such extension shall not affect the understanding and agreement that the applicable Purchasers shall be deemed to have refused to grant the requested extension in the event the Administrator fails to affirmatively notify the Seller, in writing, of their agreement to accept the requested extension. If the Facility Termination Date is extended with respect to one or more, but less than all Purchasers, then the Purchase Limit shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Commitment(s) of the Exiting Purchaser(s) and the Commitment Percentages and Commitments shall be appropriately adjusted.

(f) The Seller may, with the written consent of the Administrator and each Purchaser Agent, which consent may be granted or withheld in their sole discretion, add additional Persons as Purchasers (either to an existing Purchaser Group or by creating new Purchaser Groups) or cause an existing Related Committed Purchaser or related LC Bank to increase its Commitment in connection with a corresponding increase in the Purchase Limit; provided, that the Commitment of any Related Committed Purchaser or related LC Bank may only be increased with the prior written consent of such Purchaser. Each new Conduit Purchaser or Related Committed Purchaser (or Purchaser Group) shall become a party hereto, by executing and delivering to the Administrator, each Purchaser Agent and the Seller, an Assumption Agreement in the form of Annex F hereto (which Assumption Agreement shall, in the case of any new

Conduit Purchaser or Related Committed Purchaser, be executed by each Person in such new Purchaser’s Purchaser Group).

(g) Each Related Committed Purchaser’s obligations hereunder shall be several, such that the failure of any Related Committed Purchaser to make a payment in connection with any purchase hereunder, shall not relieve any other Related Committed Purchaser of its obligation hereunder to make payment for any Funded Purchase. Further, in the event any Related Committed Purchaser fails to satisfy its obligation to make a purchase as required hereunder, upon receipt of notice of such failure from the Administrator (or any relevant Purchaser Agent), subject to the limitations set forth herein, the non-defaulting Related Committed Purchasers in such defaulting Related Committed Purchaser’s Purchaser Group shall fund the defaulting Related Committed Purchaser’s Commitment Percentage of the related Purchase pro rata in proportion to their relative Commitment Percentages (determined without regard to the Commitment Percentage of the defaulting Related Committed Purchaser; it being understood that a defaulting Related Committed Purchaser’s Commitment Percentage of any Purchase shall be first funded by the Related Committed Purchasers in such defaulting Related Committed Purchaser’s Purchaser Group and thereafter if there are no other Related Committed Purchasers in such Purchaser Group or if such other Related Committed Purchasers are also defaulting Related Committed Purchasers, then such defaulting Related Committed Purchaser’s Commitment Percentage of such Purchase shall be funded by each other Purchaser Group ratably and applied in accordance with this paragraph (g)). Notwithstanding anything in this paragraph (g) to the contrary, no Related Committed Purchaser shall be required to make a Purchase pursuant to this paragraph for an amount which would cause the aggregate Capital of such Related Committed Purchaser (after giving effect to such Purchase) to exceed its Commitment.

Section 1.3 Purchased Interest Computation. The Purchased Interest shall be initially computed on the Closing Date. Thereafter, until the Facility Termination Date, the Purchased Interest shall be automatically recomputed (or deemed to be recomputed) on each Business Day (after giving effect to any Purchase, if any, on such Business Day); it being understood that, for purposes of such calculation, the Net Receivables Pool Balance (and all components thereof) shall be determined on each Business Day based on the information set forth in the Information Package most recently delivered (other than after a Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and a notice thereof has been delivered by the Administrator to the Seller and the Servicer to compute such Net Receivables Pool Balance (and all components thereof) on each such Business Day) pursuant to this Agreement and Net Receivables Pool Balance (and the components thereof) shall not be required to be recalculated as of each Business Day; provided, however, that the Net Receivables Pool Balance (and all components thereof) shall be determined on each Business Day that the Seller or the Servicer has actual knowledge that the Net Receivables Pool Balance (or any component thereof) on such Business Day is materially less than the Net Receivables Pool Balance (and all components thereof) set forth in the Information Package most recently delivered pursuant to this Agreement. Subject to the following sentence, from and after the occurrence of any Termination Day, the Purchased Interest shall (until the event(s) giving rise to such Termination Day are satisfied or are waived by the Administrator in accordance with Section 2.2) be deemed to be 100%. The Purchased Interest shall become zero when (a) the Aggregate Capital thereof and Aggregate Discount thereon shall have been paid in full, (b) an amount equal to 100% of the Aggregate LC

Participation Amount shall have been deposited in the LC Collateral Account, or all Letters of Credit shall have expired and (c) all the amounts owed (other than contingent, unasserted indemnification claims) by the Seller and the Servicer hereunder to each Purchaser, the Administrator and any other Indemnified Party or Affected Person are paid in full, and the Servicer shall have received the accrued Servicing Fee thereon.

Section 1.4 Settlement Procedures.

(a) The collection of the Pool Receivables shall be administered by the Servicer in accordance with this Agreement. The Seller shall provide to the Servicer on a timely basis all information needed for such administration, including notice of the occurrence of any Termination Day and current computations of the Purchased Interest.

(b) The Servicer shall, on each day on which Collections of Pool Receivables are received (or deemed received) by the Seller or the Servicer:

(i) set aside and hold in trust (and shall, at the request of the Administrator, segregate in a separate account approved by the Administrator) for the benefit of the Purchasers, out of such Collections, first, an amount equal to the Aggregate Discount accrued through such day for each Portion of Capital and not previously set aside, second, an amount equal to the fees set forth in each Fee Letter accrued and unpaid through such day, and third, to the extent funds are available therefor, an amount equal to the aggregate of the Purchasers’ Share of the Servicing Fee accrued through such day and not previously set aside,

(ii) subject to Section 1.4(f), if such day is not a Termination Day, remit to the Seller (or the Originators on behalf of the Seller to satisfy obligations of the Seller under the Purchase and Sale Agreement), ratably, on behalf of the Purchasers, the remainder of such Collections. Such remainder shall, to the extent representing a return on the Aggregate Capital, be automatically reinvested, ratably, according to each Purchaser’s Capital, in Pool Receivables and in the Related Security, Collections and other proceeds with respect thereto; provided, that if, after giving effect to any proposed reinvestment, the Purchased Interest would exceed 100%, then the Servicer shall not remit such remainder to the Seller or reinvest, but shall set aside and hold in trust for the Administrator (for the benefit of the Purchasers) (and shall, at the request of the Administrator, segregate in a separate account approved by the Administrator) a portion of such Collections that, together with the other Collections set aside pursuant to this paragraph, shall equal the amount necessary to reduce the Purchased Interest to 100% (determined as if such Collections set aside had been applied to reduce the Aggregate Capital at such time), which amount shall be deposited to the Administration Account (for the benefit of the Purchasers) (to be ratably, according to the aggregate of the Capital of all Purchasers in each Purchaser Group, distributed to each Purchaser Agent (for the benefit of its related Purchasers)) on the next Settlement Date in accordance with Section 1.4(c); provided, further, that in the case of any Purchaser that has provided notice (an “Exiting Notice”, which, for the avoidance of doubt shall not have any effect until the then Scheduled Commitment Termination Date) to its Purchaser Agent and the Administrator of its refusal, following any request by the Seller to extend the then Scheduled Commitment Termination Date, to extend its Commitment hereunder (an “Exiting Purchaser”), then such Purchaser’s ratable share (determined according to

outstanding Capital) of Collections shall not be reinvested or remitted to the Seller and shall instead be held in trust for the benefit of such Purchaser and applied in accordance with clause (iii) below,

(iv) release to the Seller (subject to Section 1.4(f)) for its own account any Collections in excess of: (w) amounts required to be reinvested in accordance with clause (ii) or the proviso to clause (iii), plus (x) the amounts that are required to be set aside pursuant to clause (i), the provisos to clause (ii) and clause (iii), plus (y) the Seller’s Share of the Servicing Fee accrued and unpaid through such day and all reasonable and appropriate out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Servicer for servicing, collecting and administering the Pool Receivables, plus (z) all other amounts then due and payable by the Seller under this Agreement to the Purchasers, the Purchaser Agents, the Administrator, and any other Indemnified Party or Affected Person.

(ii) if such distribution occurs on a Termination Day or on a day when the Purchased Interest exceeds 100%, first, to the Servicer in payment in full of the Purchasers’ Share of all accrued Servicing Fees, second, to each Purchaser Agent ratably (based on the aggregate accrued and unpaid Discount and Fees payable to all Purchasers at such time) (for the benefit of the relevant Purchasers in such Purchaser Agent’s Purchaser Group) in payment in full of all accrued Discount with respect to each Portion of Capital funded or maintained by the Purchasers within such Purchaser Agent’s Purchaser Group and all accrued Fees, third, to each Purchaser Agent ratably according to the aggregate of the Capital of each Purchaser in each such Purchaser Agent’s Purchaser Group (for the benefit of the relevant Purchasers in such Purchaser Agent’s Purchaser Group) in payment in full of each Purchaser’s Capital (or, if such day is not a Termination Day, the amount necessary to reduce the Purchased Interest to 100%) (determined as if such Collections had been applied to reduce the Aggregate Capital); it being understood that each Purchaser Agent shall distribute the amounts described in the first, second and third clauses of this Section 1.4(d)(ii) to the Purchasers within such Purchaser Agent’s Purchaser Group ratably according to Discount, Fees and Capital, respectively, fourth, to the LC Collateral Account for the ratable benefit of the XX Xxxxx, the amount necessary to cash collateralize the Aggregate LC Participation Amount until the amount of cash collateral held in such LC Collateral Account equals 100% of the Aggregate LC Participation Amount (or, if such day is not a Termination Day, the amount necessary to reduce the Purchased Interest to 100%) (determined as if such Collections had been applied to reduce the aggregate outstanding amount of the Aggregate LC Participation Amount), and fifth, if the Aggregate Capital and accrued Aggregate Discount with respect to each Portion of Capital for all Purchaser Groups have been reduced to zero, and the aggregate of the Purchasers’ Share of all accrued Servicing Fees payable to the Servicer have been paid in full, to each Purchaser Agent ratably, based on the amounts payable to each Purchaser in such Purchaser Agent’s Purchaser Group (for the benefit of the relevant Purchasers in such Purchaser Agent’s Purchaser Group), the Administrator and any other Indemnified Party or Affected Person in payment in full of any other amounts owed thereto by the Seller or the Servicer hereunder.

After the Aggregate Capital, Aggregate Discount, fees payable pursuant to the Fee Letters and Servicing Fees with respect to the Purchased Interest, and any other amounts payable by the Seller and the Servicer to each Purchaser Group, the Administrator or any other Indemnified Party or Affected Person hereunder, have been paid in full, and (on and after a Termination Day) after an amount equal to 100% of the Aggregate LC Participation Amount is on deposit in the

LC Collateral Account, all additional Collections with respect to the Purchased Interest shall be paid to the Seller for its own account.

(e) For the purposes of this Section 1.4:

(i) if on any day the Outstanding Balance of any Pool Receivable is reduced or adjusted as a result of any defective, rejected, returned, repossessed or foreclosed goods or services, or any revision, cancellation, allowance, rebate, discount or other adjustment made by the Seller or any Affiliate of the Seller or the Servicer or any Affiliate of the Servicer, or any setoff or dispute between the Seller or any Affiliate of the Seller or the Servicer or any Affiliate of the Servicer and an Obligor, the Seller shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection of such Pool Receivable in the amount of such reduction or adjustment and, if such reduction or adjustment (x) causes the Purchased Interest to exceed 100% or (y) occurs after the occurrence of the Facility Termination Date, the Seller shall pay an amount equal to such reduction or adjustment to a Lock-Box Account for the benefit of the Purchasers and their assigns and for application pursuant to Section 1.4 within two (2) Business Days of such reduction or adjustment;

(ii) if on any day any of the representations or warranties in Sections l(j) or 3(a) of Exhibit III is not true with respect to any Pool Receivable, the Seller shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection of such Pool Receivable in full and, if such breach (x) causes the Purchased Interest to exceed 100% (determined on a pro forma basis after giving effect to such breach and subtraction of the Outstanding Balance of such Pool Receivables related to such breach from the Net Receivables Pool Balance) or (y) occurs after the occurrence of the Facility Termination Date, the Seller shall pay any and all such amounts in respect thereof to an Account (or as otherwise directed by the Administrator at such time) for the benefit of the Purchasers and their assigns and for application pursuant to Section 1.4 within two (2) Business Days of knowledge of such breach;

(iii) except as provided in clause (i) or (ii), or as otherwise required by applicable law or the relevant Contract, all Collections received from an Obligor of any 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 its payment for application to specific Receivables; and

(iv) if and to the extent the Administrator, any Purchaser Agent or any Purchaser shall be required for any reason to pay over to an Obligor (or any trustee, receiver, custodian or similar official in any Insolvency Proceeding) any amount received by it hereunder, such amount shall be deemed not to have been so received by such Person but rather to have been retained by the Seller and, accordingly, such Person shall have a claim against the Seller for such amount, payable when and to the extent that any distribution from or on behalf of such Obligor is made in respect thereof.

(f) If at any time the Seller shall wish to cause the reduction of Aggregate Capital (but not to commence the liquidation, or reduction to zero, of the entire Aggregate Capital), the Seller may do so as follows:

(i) the Seller shall give the Administrator, each Purchaser Agent and the Servicer written notice in substantially the form of Annex C (each, a “Paydown Notice”) no later than noon (New York time) on the Business Day prior to the date of such reduction, such Paydown Notice shall include, among other things, the amount of such proposed reduction and the proposed date on which such reduction will commence;

(ii) (A) on the proposed date of the commencement of such reduction and on each day thereafter, the Servicer shall cause Collections not to be reinvested until the amount thereof not so reinvested shall equal the desired amount of reduction or (B) the Seller shall remit to the Administrator in the Administration Account (for the benefit of the Purchasers), no later than noon (New York time), in immediately available funds, an amount equal to the desired amount of such reduction, and thereafter the Administrator shall remit to each Purchaser Agent’s account (for the benefit of the relevant Purchasers in such Purchaser Agent’s Purchaser Group) such Purchaser Agent’s ratable amount, based on such Purchaser Agent’s Purchasers’ portion of the Aggregate Capital reduced thereby;

(iii) in the case of clause (ii)(A) above, the Servicer shall hold such Collections in trust for the benefit of the Administrator (for the benefit of each Purchaser based on their respective Portions of Capital funded thereby) for payment to the Administrator (for the benefit of each Purchaser) by deposit in the Administration Account on any Business Day designated by the Servicer in consultation with the Seller upon two Business Days’ notice thereof by the Servicer to the Administrator and each Purchaser Agent, and the Aggregate Capital (together with the Capital of any related Purchaser) shall be deemed reduced in the amount to be paid to the Administrator (on behalf of the Purchasers) only when in fact finally so paid; and

(iv) any such amounts owing by the Seller pursuant to Section 1.8 related to such reduction shall be deposited into the Administration Account pursuant to Section 1.4(c) on the Settlement Date immediately following the date of such reduction;

provided, that the amount of any such reduction shall be not less than $2,500,000 and shall be an integral multiple of $250,000 in excess thereof. Upon receipt by the Administrator in the Administration Account of any amount paid in reduction of the Aggregate Capital pursuant to clause (iii) above, the Administrator shall cause such funds to be distributed to the Purchaser Agents (for the benefit of the Purchasers in such Purchaser Agent’s Purchaser Groups) ratably based on the respective Portions of Capital funded by the relevant Purchasers in such Purchaser Agents’ Purchaser Group, in payment of such Purchaser’s outstanding Capital.

Section 1.5 Fees.

The Seller shall pay to the Administrator to the Administration Account (for the benefit of the Purchasers) certain fees in the amounts and on the dates set forth in one or more fee letter agreements, in each case entered into from time to time by and among the Seller, Xxxxx Corning Sales and the applicable Purchaser Agent and/or the Administrator and the other parties thereto (as any such fee letter agreement may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, each, a “Fee Letter”); provided, however, that no “Facility

Fee” (as such term is defined in a Fee Letter) shall accrue for the benefit of any Defaulting Purchaser for any day in a Settlement Period on which any Purchaser is a Defaulting Purchaser on such day.

Section 1.6 Payments and Computations, Etc.

(a) All amounts to be paid or deposited by the Seller or the Servicer hereunder or under any other Transaction Document shall be made without reduction for offset or counterclaim and shall be paid or deposited no later than noon (New York time) on the day when due in immediately available funds to the Administration Account. Upon receipt by the Administrator in the Administration Account of such amounts, the Administrator shall cause such funds to be distributed to the account designated by each applicable Purchaser Agent (for the benefit of the Purchasers in such Purchaser Agent’s Purchaser Group). All amounts received after noon (New York time) will be deemed to have been received on the next Business Day. Amounts payable hereunder to or for the benefit of the Administrator, the Purchasers or the Purchaser Agents (or their related Affected Persons or Indemnified Parties) shall be distributed as follows:

(i) Any amounts to be distributed by or on behalf of the Administrator hereunder to any Purchaser Agent, Purchaser or Purchaser Group shall be distributed to the account specified in writing from time to time by the applicable Purchaser Agent to the Administrator, and the Administrator shall have no obligation to distribute any such amounts unless and until it actually receives payment of such amounts by the Seller or the Servicer, as applicable, in the Administration Account. Except as expressly set forth herein (including, without limitation, as set forth in Sections 1.4(b)(ii) or (iii) with respect to Collections held in trust for Exiting Purchasers), the Administrator shall distribute (or cause to be distributed) such amounts to the Purchaser Agents for the Purchasers within their respective Purchaser Groups ratably (x) in the case of such amounts paid in respect of Discount and Fees, according to the Discount and Fees payable to the Purchasers and (y) in the case of such amounts paid in respect of Capital (or in respect of any other obligations other than Discount and Fees), according to the outstanding Capital funded by the Purchasers.

(ii) Except as expressly set forth herein (including, without limitation, as set forth in Sections 1.4(b)(ii) or (iii) with respect to Collections held in trust for Exiting Purchasers), each Purchaser Agent shall distribute the amounts paid to it hereunder for the benefit of the Purchasers in its Purchaser Group to the Purchasers within its Purchaser Group ratably (x) in the case of such amounts paid in respect of Discount and Fees, according to the Discount and Fees payable to such Purchasers and (y) in the case of such amounts paid in respect of Capital (or in respect of any other obligations other than Discount and Fees), according to the outstanding Capital funded by such Purchasers.

(b) The Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, shall, to the extent permitted by law, pay interest on any amount not paid or deposited by the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, when due hereunder, at an interest rate equal to 2.0% per annum above the Base Rate (or with respect to amounts payable by reference to the CP Rate or the Alternate Rate, 2% per annum above such rate), payable on demand.

(c) All computations of interest under clause (b) and all computations of Discount, fees and other amounts hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 (or 365 or 366, as applicable, with respect to Discount or other amounts calculated by reference to the Base Rate) days for the actual number of days 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 Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of such payment or deposit.

Section 1.7 Increased Costs.

(a) If, after the Original Closing Date, the Administrator, any Purchaser Agent, any Purchaser, any Liquidity Provider or any other Program Support Provider or any of their respective Affiliates (each an “Affected Person”) reasonably determines that the adoption, amendment, change in interpretation or application of any of the following (each, a “Regulatory Change”) or in the case of (x) a Regulatory Change described in clause (iii) below (subject to the following clause (y)), the existence of or (y) a Regulatory Change described in clause (iii)(C) below solely with respect to the second accord adopted by the BASEL Committee on Banking Supervision or FAS 166/167 Capital Guidelines, the amendment, change in interpretation or application of:

(i) any law, rule, regulation or generally accepted accounting principle (including any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy) or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof;

(ii) any request, guideline or directive from Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), or any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law); or

(iii) without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (A) the final rule titled Risk-Based Capital Guidelines; Capital Adequacy Guidelines; Capital Maintenance: Regulatory Capital; Impact of Modifications to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles; Consolidation of Asset-Backed Commercial Paper Programs; and Other Related Issues, adopted by the United States bank regulatory agencies on December 15, 2009 (the “FAS 166/167 Capital Guidelines”), (B) the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Xxxx Xxxxx Act”), (C) the BASEL Accord, or (D) any existing or future rules, regulations, guidance, interpretations or directives from any Governmental Authority relating to the FAS 166/167 Capital Guidelines, the Xxxx-Xxxxx Act or the BASEL Accord (whether or not having the force of law);

affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Affected Person, and such Affected Person determines that the amount of such capital is increased by or based upon the existence of any commitment to make purchases of (or otherwise to maintain the investment in) Pool Receivables or issue any Letter of Credit related to this Agreement or any related liquidity facility, credit enhancement facility and other commitments of the same type, then, within 10 Business Days following demand by such Affected Person (with a copy to the Administrator), the Seller shall promptly pay to the Administrator, for the

account of such Affected Person, from time to time as specified by such Affected Person, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Affected Person for such increased costs in the light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Affected Person reasonably determines such increase in capital to be allocable to the existence of any of such commitments. For the avoidance of doubt, if the issuance or adoption of FAS 166/167 Capital Guidelines, the Xxxx Xxxxx Act, the BASEL Accord, or any other change in accounting standards or the issuance of any other pronouncement, release or interpretation, causes or requires the consolidation of all or a portion of the assets and liabilities of any Conduit Purchaser or the Seller with the assets and liabilities of such Affected Person, such event shall constitute a circumstance on which such Person may base a claim for reimbursement under this Section 1.7. A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Seller and the Administrator by such Affected Person and showing in reasonable detail the basis of computation thereof shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error; provided, that the Seller shall not be required to compensate an Affected Person pursuant to this Section 1.7(a) for any increased costs incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Affected Person notifies the Seller of the Regulatory Change giving rise to such increased costs and of such Affected Persons intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Regulatory Change giving rise to such increased costs is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(b) If, after the date hereof, due to the existence of or compliance with any Regulatory Change, there shall be any increase in the cost to any Affected Person of agreeing to purchase or purchasing, or maintaining the ownership of, the Purchased Interest (or its portion thereof) in respect of which Discount is computed by reference to the Euro-Rate, then, upon demand by such Affected Person, the Seller shall promptly pay to such Affected Person, from time to time as specified by such Affected Person, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Affected Person for such increased costs. A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Seller and the Administrator by such Affected Person and showing in reasonable detail the basis of computation thereof shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error; provided, that the Seller shall not be required to compensate an Affected Person pursuant to this Section 1.7(b) for any increased costs incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Affected Person notifies the Seller of the Regulatory Change giving rise to such increased costs and of such Affected Persons intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Regulatory Change giving rise to such increased costs is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(c) If such increased costs affect the related Affected Person’s portfolio of financing transactions, such Affected Person shall use reasonable averaging and attribution methods to allocate such increased costs to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. A certificate as to such amounts describing any averaging or attribution methods shall be submitted to the Seller and the Administrator by such Affected Person and shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, and not in limitation of the foregoing, any increase in cost and/or reduction in yield caused by regulatory capital allocation adjustments due to Statements of Financial Accounting Standards Nos. 166 and 167 (or any future statements or

interpretations issued by FASB or any successor thereto) (collectively, “FAS 166/167”) shall be covered by this Section 1.7.

Section 1.8 Requirements of Law; Funding Losses.

(a) If, after the date hereof, any Affected Person reasonably determines that the existence of or compliance with any Regulatory Change:

(i) does or shall subject such Affected Person to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any increase in the Purchased Interest (or its portion thereof) or in the amount of Capital relating thereto, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Affected Persons on account of Collections, Discount or any other amounts payable hereunder (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 1.10 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of any Excluded Tax payable by such Affected Person) provided, however, that the foregoing conditions are met as a result of a Change in Law,

(ii) does or shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, purchases, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Affected Person that are not otherwise included in the determination of the Euro-Rate or the Base Rate hereunder, or

(iii) does or shall impose on such Affected Person any other condition, and the result of any of the foregoing is: (A) to increase the cost to such Affected Person of acting as Administrator, or of agreeing to purchase or purchasing or maintaining the ownership of undivided percentage ownership interests with regard to, or issuing any Letter of Credit in respect of, the Purchased Interest (or interests therein) or any Portion of Capital, or (B) to reduce any amount receivable hereunder (whether directly or indirectly), then, in any such case, within (10) Business Days of demand therefor by such Affected Person, the Seller shall pay to such Affected Person additional amounts necessary to compensate such Affected Person for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable. All such amounts shall be payable as incurred. A certificate as to such amounts from such Affected Person to the Seller and the Administrator and showing in reasonable detail the basis of computation thereof shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(b) The Seller shall compensate each Affected Person, upon written request by such Person, for all losses, expenses and liabilities (including any loss, expense or liability incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Affected Person), as a result of (i) any repayment (in whole or in part) of any Purchaser’s Portion of Capital, that is funded other than through the issuance of Notes, on any day other than a Monthly Settlement Date or (ii) any Purchase not being completed by the Seller in accordance with its request therefor pursuant to Section 1.2. Such losses, expenses and liabilities shall include, without limitation, the amount, if any, by which (A) the additional Discount (without giving effect to any Termination Event) that would have accrued had such repayment or failure to Purchase not have occurred, exceeds (B) the income, if any, received by the applicable Purchaser

from investing the proceeds of such repayment of Capital or reemployment of funds, as determined by such Affected Person. Such written request (which shall include calculations in reasonable detail) shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding upon the Seller.

Section 1.9 Inability to Determine Euro-Rate.

(a) If the Administrator (or any Purchaser Agent) determines before the first day of any Settlement Period (which determination shall be final and conclusive) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank eurodollar market generally, (i) deposits in dollars (in the relevant amounts for such Settlement Period (or portion thereof)) are not being offered to banks in the interbank eurodollar market for such Settlement Period (or portion thereof), (ii) adequate means do not exist for ascertaining the Euro-Rate for such Settlement Period (or portion thereof) or (iii) the Euro-Rate does not accurately reflect the cost to any Purchaser (as determined by such Purchaser or such Purchaser’s Purchaser Agent) of maintaining any Portion of Capital during such Settlement Period (or portion thereof), then the Administrator (or any Purchaser Agent) shall give notice thereof to the Seller. Thereafter, until the Administrator or such Purchaser Agent notifies the Seller that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, (a) no Portion of Capital shall be funded at the Alternate Rate or Base Rate, in either case determined by reference to the Euro-Rate, (b) the Discount for any outstanding Portions of Capital then funded at the Alternate Rate determined by reference to the Euro-Rate shall, on the last day of the then current Settlement Period, be converted to the Alternate Rate determined by reference to the Base Rate without reference to clause (c) of the definition thereof and (c) the Discount for any outstanding Portions of Capital then funded at the Base Rate determined by reference to the Euro-Rate shall, on the last day of the then current Settlement Period, be converted to the Base Rate determined without reference to clause (c) of the definition thereof.

(b) If, on or before the first day of any Settlement Period, the Administrator shall have been notified by any Affected Person that such Affected Person has determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive) that, any enactment, promulgation or adoption of or any Regulatory Change, applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by a Governmental Authority or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by such Affected Person with any guideline, request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall make it unlawful or impossible for such Affected Person to fund or maintain any Portion of Capital at the Alternate Rate and based upon the Euro-Rate, the Administrator shall notify the Seller thereof. Upon receipt of such notice, until the Administrator notifies the Seller that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer apply, (a) no Portion of Capital shall be funded at the Alternate Rate determined by reference to the Euro-Rate and (b) the Discount for any outstanding Portions of Capital then funded at the Alternate Rate determined by reference to the Euro-Rate shall be converted to the Alternate Rate determined by reference to the Base Rate either (i) on the last day of the then current Settlement Period if such Affected Person may lawfully continue to maintain such Portion of Capital at the Alternate Rate determined by reference to the Euro-Rate to such day, or (ii) immediately, if such Affected Person may not lawfully continue to maintain such Portion of Capital at the Alternate Rate determined by reference to the Euro-Rate to such day.

Section 1.10 Taxes.

(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Seller hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes; provided that if the Seller shall be required by Applicable Law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions for Indemnified Taxes (including any Other Taxes) (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) each of the Administrator, the Purchasers, or Purchaser Agent, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions for Indemnified Taxes (including any Other Taxes) been made, (ii) the Seller shall make such deductions and (iii) the Seller shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Seller. Without limiting the provisions of paragraph (a) above, the Seller shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.

(c) Indemnification by the Seller. The Seller shall indemnify the Administrator, any Purchaser, and any Purchaser Agent within ten (10) Business Days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) described in this Section 1.10 that are paid by the Administrator, such Purchaser, or such Purchaser Agent, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority; provided, however that the Seller shall not be liable under this Section 1.10(c) for any penalties, interest or expenses arising more than thirty (30) days after the Administrator, such Purchaser, or such Purchaser Agent, as the case may be, had actual knowledge of the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Seller by the Administrator, such Purchaser, or such Purchaser Agent (with a copy to the Administrator), shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Seller to a Governmental Authority, the Seller shall deliver to the Administrator 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 Administrator, and the Administrator shall forward such receipt to the relevant Purchaser or Purchaser Agent, if and as appropriate.

(e) Status of Foreign Recipients. At the signing of this Agreement, any non-U.S. Person that is an Administrator, a Purchaser, or a Purchaser Agent (a “Foreign Recipient”) shall deliver to the Seller and the Administrator (as appropriate) two (2) accurate, complete and signed originals of any of the following which are applicable, together with (if and as appropriate) U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY or any successor form:

(i) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party,

(iv) any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the Seller to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

Each Foreign Recipient further agrees to update any forms provided under this Section 1.10(e) if and as appropriate.

(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Administrator, a Purchaser, or a Purchaser Agent determines, in its good faith discretion, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Seller or with respect to which the Seller has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to the Seller an amount equal to such refund within thirty (30) days of such determination (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Seller under this Section with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrator, such Purchaser, or such Purchaser Agent, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Administrator, such Purchaser, or such Purchaser Agent to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Seller or any other Person.

Section 1.11 Letters of Credit.

Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each LC Bank shall issue or cause the issuance of Letters of Credit (“Letters of Credit”) on behalf of Seller (and, if applicable, on behalf of, or for the account of, such Originator in favor of such beneficiaries as such Originator may elect); provided, however, that no LC Bank will be required to issue or cause to be issued any Letters of Credit to the extent that after giving effect thereto the issuance of such Letters of Credit would then cause (a) the Exposure to exceed the Purchase Limit, (b) the LC Participation Amount with respect to such LC Bank to exceed its Commitment or (c) the Aggregate LC Participation Amount to exceed the LC Sublimit. All amounts drawn upon Letters of Credit shall accrue Discount for each day such drawn amounts shall have not been reimbursed.

Each of the parties hereto hereby acknowledge and agree that after giving effect to the Xxxxx Payoff Letter and the Subsequent LC Transfer Agreement, none of the “Letters of Credit” (as defined in the Original Agreement) that were issued by Xxxxx, as LC Bank, under the Original Agreement shall be deemed to be issued or outstanding under this Agreement, and that Xxxxx shall have no rights, interest or benefits with respect to this Agreement, any Pool Asset or any proceeds thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, after giving effect to the Xxxxx Payoff Letter and the Subsequent LC Transfer Agreement, the Seller shall have no obligation under the Original Agreement or under this Agreement to reimburse Xxxxx, as LC Bank, for any drawing under any “Letter of Credit” (as defined in the Original Agreement) that was issued by Xxxxx, as LC Bank, under the Original Agreement.

Section 1.12 Issuance of Letters of Credit.

(a) The Seller may request that any LC Bank, upon one Business Day’s prior written notice submitted on or before noon, New York time, to issue a Letter of Credit by delivering to the Administrator and such LC Bank a form of letter of credit application for such LC Bank substantially in the form of Annex E attached hereto (each, a “Letter of Credit Application”) and a Purchase Notice substantially in the form of Annex B hereto, in each case completed to the satisfaction of the Administrator and the applicable LC Bank; and, such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as the Administrator or such LC Bank may reasonably request. The Seller also has the right to give instructions and make agreements with respect to any Letter of Credit Application and the disposition of documents, and to agree with the Administrator upon any amendment, extension or renewal of any Letter of Credit.

(b) Each Letter of Credit shall, among other things, (i) provide for the payment of sight drafts or other written demands for payment when presented for honor thereunder in accordance with the terms thereof and when accompanied by the documents described therein and (ii) have an expiry date not later than twelve (12) months after such Letter of Credit’s date of issuance, extension or renewal, as the case may be, and in no event later than twelve (12) months after the Facility Termination Date. For the avoidance of doubt, no Letter of Credit may be extended or renewed to a date that is later than twelve (12) months after the Facility Termination Date. Each Letter of Credit shall be subject either to the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits (2007 Revision), International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 600, and any amendments or revisions thereof adhered to by the applicable LC Bank or the International Standby Practices (ISP98-International Chamber of Commerce Publication Number 590), and any amendments or revisions thereof adhered to by such LC Bank, as determined by such LC Bank.

(c) The Administrator shall promptly notify the applicable LC Bank, at such Person’s address for notices hereunder, of the request by the Seller for a Letter of Credit hereunder, and shall provide such LC Bank with the Letter of Credit Application and Purchase Notice delivered to the Administrator by the Seller pursuant to paragraph (a), above, by the close of business on the day received or if received on a day that is not a Business Day or on any Business Day after noon, New York time, on such day, on the next Business Day.

In the event the Seller fails to reimburse the applicable LC Bank for the full amount of any drawing under any Letter of Credit by noon, New York time, on the Drawing Date (including because the conditions precedent to a Funded Purchase deemed to have been requested by Seller pursuant to Section 1.1(b) to reimburse such LC Bank shall not have been satisfied), such LC Bank will promptly notify the Administrator and each Purchaser Agent thereof. Any notice given by any LC Bank pursuant to this Section may be oral if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate written confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such oral notice.

Section 1.15 [Reserved].

Section 1.16 Documentation.

The Seller agrees to be bound by the terms of the Letter of Credit Application and by the applicable LC Bank’s interpretations of any Letter of Credit issued for the Seller and by such LC Bank’s written regulations and customary practices relating to letters of credit, though such LC Bank’s interpretation of such regulations and practices may be different from the Seller’s own. In the event of a conflict between the Letter of Credit Application and this Agreement, this Agreement shall govern. It is understood and agreed that, except in the case of gross negligence or willful misconduct by an LC Bank, such LC Bank shall not be liable for any error, negligence and/or mistakes, whether of omission or commission, in following the Seller’s instructions or those contained in the Letters of Credit or any modifications, amendments or supplements thereto.

Section 1.20 Liability for Acts and Omissions.

As between the Seller, on the one hand, and the Administrator, the XX Xxxxx, the Purchaser Agents and the Purchasers, on the other, the Seller assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of any Letter of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the respective foregoing, none of the Administrator, the XX Xxxxx, the Purchaser Agents or the Purchasers shall be responsible for: (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted

by any party in connection with the application for an issuance of any such Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged (even if the applicable LC Bank shall have been notified thereof); (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) the failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit, or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred, to comply fully with any conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit or any other claim of the Seller against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, or any such transferee, or any dispute between or among the Seller and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any such transferee; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, electronic mail, cable, telegraph, telex, facsimile or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Administrator, the XX Xxxxx, the Purchaser Agents and the Purchasers, including any Governmental Acts, and none of the above shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of, any of the XX Xxxxx’ rights or powers hereunder.

In no event shall the Administrator, the XX Xxxxx, the Purchaser Agents or the Purchasers or their respective Affiliates, be liable to the Seller or any other Person for any indirect, consequential, incidental, punitive, exemplary or special damages or expenses (including without limitation attorneys’ fees), or for any damages resulting from any change in the value of any property relating to a Letter of Credit.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrator, the XX Xxxxx, the Purchaser Agents and the Purchasers and each of its Affiliates (i) may rely on any written communication believed in good faith by such Person to have been authorized or given by or on behalf of the applicant for a Letter of Credit; (ii) may honor any presentation if the documents presented appear on their face to comply with the terms and conditions of the relevant Letter of Credit; (iii) may honor a previously dishonored presentation under a Letter of Credit, whether such dishonor was pursuant to a court order, to settle or compromise any claim of wrongful dishonor, or otherwise, and shall be entitled to reimbursement to the same extent as if such presentation had initially been honored, together with any interest paid by the applicable LC Bank or its Affiliates; (iv) may honor any drawing that is payable upon presentation of a statement advising negotiation or payment, upon receipt of such statement (even if such statement indicates that a draft or other document is being delivered separately), and shall not be liable for any failure of any such draft or other document to arrive, or to conform in any way with the relevant Letter of Credit; (v) may pay any paying or negotiating bank claiming that it rightfully honored under the laws or practices of the place where such bank is located; and (vi) may settle or adjust any claim or demand made on the Administrator, the XX Xxxxx, the Purchaser Agents or the Purchasers or their respective Affiliates, in any way related to any order issued at the applicant’s request to an air carrier, a letter of guarantee or of indemnity issued to a

carrier or any similar document (each an “Order”) and may honor any drawing in connection with any Letter of Credit that is the subject of such Order, notwithstanding that any drafts or other documents presented in connection with such Letter of Credit fail to conform in any way with such Letter of Credit.

In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions set forth above, any action taken or omitted by the applicable LC Bank under or in connection with any Letter of Credit issued by it or any documents and certificates delivered thereunder, if taken or omitted in good faith and without gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, shall not put such LC Bank under any resulting liability to the Seller or any other Person.

ARTICLE IV.

ADMINISTRATION AND COLLECTIONS

Section 4.1 Appointment of the Servicer.

(a) The servicing, administering and collection of the Pool Receivables shall be conducted by the Person so designated from time to time as the Servicer in accordance with this Section. Until the Administrator gives notice to Xxxxx Corning Sales of the designation of a new Servicer during the continuation of a Servicer Default, Xxxxx Corning Sales is hereby designated as, and hereby agrees to perform the duties and obligations of, the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof. During the continuation of a Servicer Default, the Administrator may (with the consent of the Majority Purchaser Agents) and shall (at the direction of the Majority Purchaser Agents) designate as Servicer any Person (including itself) to succeed Xxxxx Corning Sales or any successor Servicer, on the condition in each case that any such Person so designated shall agree to perform the duties and obligations of the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof.

(b) Upon the designation of a successor Servicer as set forth in clause (a), Xxxxx Corning Sales agrees that it will terminate its activities as Servicer hereunder in a manner that the Administrator determines will facilitate the transition of the performance of such activities to the new Servicer, and Xxxxx Corning Sales shall cooperate with and assist such new Servicer. Such cooperation shall include access to and transfer of related records (including all Contracts) and use by the new Servicer of all licenses, hardware or software necessary or desirable to collect the Pool Receivables and the Related Security.

(c) Xxxxx Corning Sales acknowledges that, in making their decision to execute and deliver this Agreement, the Administrator, the Purchaser Agents and the Purchasers have relied on Xxxxx Corning Sales’ agreement to act as Servicer hereunder. Accordingly, Xxxxx Corning Sales agrees that it will not voluntarily resign as Servicer without the prior written consent of the Administrator and the Purchasers.

(d) The Servicer may delegate its duties and obligations hereunder to any subservicer (each a “Sub-Servicer”); provided, that, in each such delegation (other than any delegation consistent with past practices to a collection agency to service Pool Receivables that are Defaulted Receivables that are not owing by the ten largest Obligors at the time of delegation computed based upon the Outstanding Balance of Pool Receivables at such time (unless the Majority Purchaser Agents have consented in writing to such delegation with respect to any of such ten Obligors)): (i) each such Sub-Servicer shall agree in writing to perform the delegated duties and obligations of the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof, (ii) the Servicer shall remain

liable for the performance of the duties and obligations so delegated, (iii) the Seller, the Administrator, the Purchaser Agents and the Purchasers shall have the right to look solely to the Servicer for performance, and (iv) the terms of any agreement with any Sub-Servicer shall provide that the Administrator may terminate such agreement upon the termination of the Servicer hereunder by giving notice of its desire to terminate such agreement to the Servicer (and the Servicer shall provide appropriate notice to each such Sub-Servicer); provided, however, that if any such delegation is to any Person other than an Originator or an Affiliate thereof, the Administrator and the Majority Purchaser Agents shall have consented in writing in advance to such delegation.

Section 4.2 Duties of the Servicer.

(a) The Servicer shall take or cause to be taken all such action as may be necessary or advisable to administer and collect each Pool Receivable from time to time, all in accordance with this Agreement and all applicable laws, rules and regulations, with reasonable care and diligence, and in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policies. The Servicer shall set aside, for the accounts of the Seller and the Purchasers, the amount of the Collections to which each is entitled in accordance with Article I. The Servicer may, in accordance with the applicable Credit and Collection Policy, take such action, including modifications, waivers or restructurings of Pool Receivables and the related Contracts as the Servicer may determine to be appropriate to maximize Collections thereof or reflect adjustments permitted under the Credit and Collection Policy or required under applicable laws, rules or regulations or the applicable Contract; provided, however, that for the purposes of this Agreement (i) such action shall not 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 under this Agreement or limit the rights of any of the Purchasers, Purchaser Agents or the Administrator under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document and (iii) if a Servicer Default has occurred and is continuing and Xxxxx Corning Sales or an Affiliate thereof is serving as the Servicer, Xxxxx Corning Sales or such Affiliate shall not without the Administrator’s prior written consent take any such action with respect to any Pool Receivable, the Obligor of which is among the ten largest Obligors at such time computed based upon the Outstanding Balance of Pool Receivables at such time if such action is not permitted under the Credit and Collection Policy in effect immediately prior to such Servicer Default. The Seller shall deliver to the Servicer and the Servicer shall hold for the benefit of the Seller and the Administrator (individually and for the benefit of the Purchasers), in accordance with their respective interests, all records and documents (including computer tapes or disks) with respect to each Pool Receivable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if a Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Administrator may direct the Servicer (whether the Servicer is Xxxxx Corning Sales or any other Person) 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, if applicable, any Related Security with respect to any such Defaulted Receivable.

(b) The Servicer shall, as soon as practicable following actual receipt of collected funds, turn over to the Seller the collections of any indebtedness that is not a Pool Receivable. The Servicer, if other than Xxxxx Corning Sales or an Affiliate thereof, shall, as soon as

practicable upon demand, deliver to the Seller all records in its possession that evidence or relate to any indebtedness that is not a Pool Receivable, and copies of records in its possession that evidence or relate to any indebtedness that is a Pool Receivable.

(c) The Servicer’s obligations hereunder shall terminate on the latest of: (i) the Facility Termination Date, (ii) the date on which no Capital of or Discount in respect of the Purchased Interest shall be outstanding, (iii) the date on which 100% of the Aggregate LC Participation Amount is on deposit in the LC Collateral Account and (iv) the date on which all amounts (other than contingent, unasserted indemnification claims) required to be paid to the Purchasers, the Purchaser Agents, the Administrator and any other Indemnified Party or Affected Person hereunder shall have been paid in full. After such termination, if Xxxxx Corning Sales or an Affiliate thereof was not the Servicer on the date of such termination, the Servicer shall promptly deliver to the Seller all books, records and related materials that the Seller previously provided to the Servicer, or that have been obtained by the Servicer, in connection with this Agreement.

Section 4.3 Account Arrangements.

Prior to the Original Closing Date, the Seller shall have entered into Lock-Box Agreements with all of the Lock-Box Banks and in each case delivered original counterparts thereof to the Administrator. During the continuation of a Termination Event, the Administrator may (and shall, at the direction of the Majority Purchaser Agents) at any time thereafter give notice to each Lock-Box Bank that the Administrator is exercising its rights under the Lock-Box Agreements to do any or all of the following: (a) to have the exclusive control of the Lock-Box Accounts (and any funds therein) transferred to the Administrator (for the benefit of the Purchasers) and to exercise exclusive dominion and control over the funds deposited therein, (b) to have the proceeds that are sent to the respective Accounts redirected pursuant to the Administrator’s instructions rather than deposited in the applicable Account, and (c) to take any or all other actions permitted under the applicable Lock-Box Agreement. The Seller hereby agrees that if the Administrator at any time takes any action set forth in the preceding sentence, the Administrator shall have exclusive control (for the benefit of the Purchasers) of the proceeds (including Collections) of all Pool Receivables and the Seller hereby further agrees to take any other action that the Administrator may reasonably request to transfer such control. Any proceeds of Pool Receivables received by the Seller or the Servicer thereafter shall be sent immediately to, or as otherwise instructed by, the Administrator. The parties hereto hereby acknowledge that if at any time the Administrator takes control of any Account, the Administrator shall not have any rights to the funds therein in excess of the unpaid amounts due to the Administrator, the Purchaser Agents, the Purchasers, any Indemnified Party, any Affected Person or any other Person hereunder or under any other Transaction Document, and the Administrator shall distribute or cause to be distributed such funds in accordance with Section 4.2(b) and Article I (in each case as if such funds were held by the Servicer thereunder).

On each Business Day on which the amount on deposit in the Mellon Lock-Box Account exceeds $100,000, the Seller will cause all Collections received and on deposit in the Mellon Lock-Box Account transferred into the BofA Lock-Box Account.

Section 4.4 Enforcement Rights.

(a) At any time following the occurrence and during the continuation of a Servicer Default:

(i) the Administrator may direct the Obligors that payment of all amounts payable under any Pool Receivable is to be made directly to the Administrator or its designee,

(ii) the Administrator may instruct the Seller or the Servicer to give notice of the Purchasers’ interest in Pool Receivables to each Obligor, which notice shall direct that payments be made directly to the Administrator or its designee (on behalf of the Purchasers), and the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, shall give such notice at the expense of the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be; provided, that if the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, fails to so notify each Obligor, the Administrator (at the Seller’s or the Servicer’s, as the case may be, expense) may so notify the Obligors, and

(iii) the Administrator may request the Servicer to, and upon such request the Servicer shall: (A) assemble all of the records necessary or desirable to collect the Pool Receivables and the Related Security, and transfer or license to a successor Servicer the use of all software necessary or desirable to collect the Pool Receivables and the Related Security, and make the same available to the Administrator or its designee (for the benefit of the Purchasers) at a place selected by the Administrator, and (B) segregate all cash, checks and other instruments received by it from time to time constituting Collections in a manner acceptable to the Administrator and, promptly upon receipt, remit all such cash, checks and instruments, duly endorsed or with duly executed instruments of transfer, to the Administrator or its designee.

(b) The Seller hereby authorizes the Administrator (on behalf of each Purchaser Group), and irrevocably appoints the Administrator as its attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution and with full authority in the place and stead of the Seller, which appointment is coupled with an interest, to take any and all steps in the name of the Seller and on behalf of the Seller necessary or desirable, in the determination of the Administrator, following the occurrence and during the continuation of a Termination Event, to collect any and all amounts or portions thereof due under any and all Pool Assets, including endorsing the name of the Seller on checks and other instruments representing Collections and enforcing such Pool Assets.

IV-13

revenues from its activities with any member of the Xxxxx Corning Group; (3) a trustee, conservator or receiver for any member of the Xxxxx Corning Group; (4) a person or other entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with any such equity holder, partner, member, manager, customer, supplier or other person; or (5) a member of the immediate family of any such equityholder, director, officer, employee, member, manager, partner, customer, supplier or other person and (B) (1) who has (x) prior experience as an independent director for a corporation or an independent manager of a limited liability company whose charter documents required the unanimous consent of all independent director or independent managers thereof before such corporation could consent to the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against it or could file a petition seeking relief under any applicable federal or state law relating to bankruptcy and (y) at least three years of employment experience with one or more entities that provide, in the ordinary course of their respective businesses, advisory, management or placement services to issuers of securitization or structured finance instruments, agreements or securities and (2) is (x) an employee of a Recognized Service Provider or (y) reasonably acceptable to the Administrator and each Purchaser Agent (such acceptability of any Independent Director appointed after the date hereof must be evidenced in writing signed by the Administrator and each Purchaser Agent).
