X. Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A. has been requested and is willing to act as Administrative Agent on behalf of the Purchasers in accordance with the terms hereof.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the agreements, provisions and covenants herein contained, the parties hereto hereby further agree as follows:

ARTICLE I
PURCHASE ARRANGEMENTS

Section 1.1. Purchase Facility.

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, Seller may, at its option, from time to time during the period from the date hereof to but not including the Facility Termination Date, sell and assign Purchaser Interests to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of each Purchaser Group, whereupon (i) each of the Committed Purchasers (other than the Liquidity Banks) shall instruct the Administrative Agent to purchase a Purchaser Interest on its Purchaser Group’s behalf, and (ii) the Xxxxxxxx Group Agent may, at its option, instruct the Administrative Agent to purchase a Purchaser Interest on Xxxxxxxx’x behalf, or if Xxxxxxxx shall decline to purchase, the Administrative Agent shall purchase a Purchaser Interest, on behalf of Xxxxxxxx’x Liquidity Banks; provided, however, that (A) the Purchase Prices for the Purchaser Interests sold on any given Business Day shall be ratable in accordance with each Purchaser Group’s respective Percentage, and (B) in no event shall the aggregate Capital outstanding hereunder from any Purchaser Group exceed the lesser of (1) such Purchaser Group’s Group Purchase Limit and (2) the Commitment Availability for such Purchaser Group. Seller hereby assigns, transfers and conveys to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Purchaser Groups in accordance with their respective Percentages, and the Administrative Agent hereby acquires, all of Seller’s now owned and existing and hereafter arising or acquired right, title and interest in and to the Purchaser Interests.

(b) Not more than once per calendar month, Seller may, upon at least 5 Business Days’ prior written notice to each of the Agents (who will promptly forward a copy of each such notice to the Purchasers in its Purchaser Group), terminate in whole or reduce in part, ratably between the Purchaser Groups (and, within the Xxxxxxxx Group, ratably among the Liquidity Banks), the unused portion of the Purchase Limit and the Group Purchase Limits; provided that each partial reduction of the Purchase Limit shall be in an amount equal to $5,000,000 or an integral multiple thereof. Each decrease in the Purchase Limit shall decrease (A) the aggregate Commitments by a like amount, which aggregate decrease shall be apportioned amongst the Commitments of the Committed Purchasers ratably in accordance with their respective Committed Purchaser Percentages, and (B) the Group Purchase Limits by an amount equal to their respective Percentages of such decrease. Each notice of a partial decrease in the Purchase Limit shall be accompanied by an updated version of Schedule A hereto bearing the effective date of such increase or decrease.

Section 1.2. Increases. Seller shall provide each of the Agents with at least one (1) Business Day’s prior notice in the form set forth as Exhibit II-A hereto of each Incremental Purchase (a “Purchase Notice”), and each of the Agents will promptly forward a copy of each such Purchase Notice to the Purchasers in its Purchaser Group. Each Purchase Notice shall be subject to Section 6.2 hereof and, except as set forth below, shall be irrevocable and shall specify the requested Purchase Price (which shall not be less than $1,000,000) and date of purchase. Following receipt of a Purchase Notice, the Xxxxxxxx Group Agent shall determine whether Xxxxxxxx agrees to make the Xxxxxxxx Group’s Percentage of the purchase. If Xxxxxxxx declines to make the Xxxxxxxx Group’s Percentage of a proposed purchase, Seller may cancel the Purchase Notice as to all Purchaser Groups. In the absence of such a cancellation, the Xxxxxxxx Group Agent shall notify the Liquidity Banks of its receipt of such Purchase Notice and of Xxxxxxxx’x declining to make the Xxxxxxxx Group’s Percentage of such purchase, and the Incremental Purchase of the Xxxxxxxx Group’s Purchaser Interest shall be made by such Liquidity Banks in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares. On the date of each Incremental Purchase, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article VI, the applicable Purchasers shall initiate a wire transfer to the Facility Account of immediately available funds, no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time), in an amount equal to (i) in the case of Xxxxxxxx or a Committed Purchaser (other than a Liquidity Bank), its Purchaser Group’s Percentage of the aggregate Purchase Price, or (ii) in the case of a Liquidity Bank, such Liquidity Bank’s Pro Rata Share of the Xxxxxxxx Group’s Percentage of the aggregate Purchase Price.

Section 1.3. Decreases. In conformity with the Required Notice Period, Seller shall provide the Agents with prior written notice in a form set forth as Exhibit II-B hereto of any proposed reduction of Aggregate Capital from Collections (a “Reduction Notice”), and each of the Agents will promptly forward a copy of each such Reduction Notice to the Purchasers in its Purchaser Group. Such Reduction Notice shall designate (i) the date (the “Proposed Reduction Date”) upon which any such reduction of Aggregate Capital shall occur (which date shall give effect to the applicable Required Notice Period), (ii) the amount of Aggregate Capital to be reduced (the “Aggregate Reduction”) which shall be applied ratably to the Purchaser Interests of each Purchaser in accordance with the amount of Capital (if any) owing to such Purchaser in each case divided by the Aggregate Capital at such time, and (iii) each Purchaser’s portion of such Aggregate Reduction. Only one (1) Reduction Notice shall be outstanding at any time.

Section 1.4. Payment Requirements. All amounts to be paid or deposited by any Seller Party pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be paid or deposited in accordance with the terms hereof no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the day when due in immediately available funds, and if not received before 1:00 p.m. (New York time) shall be deemed to be received on the next succeeding Business Day. All amounts payable to the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser shall be paid to the Administrative Agent’s Account, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit each applicable Purchaser’s portion thereof (if any) in immediately available funds to such account as such Purchaser may from time to time specify in writing. All computations of Yield at LMIR, per annum fees calculated as part of any CP Costs and Unused Fees shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days elapsed. All computations of Yield at the Alternate Base Rate shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 (or, when appropriate, 366) days for the actual number of days elapsed. If any amount hereunder shall be payable on a day which is not a Business Day, such amount shall be payable on the next succeeding Business Day.

ARTICLE II
PAYMENTS AND COLLECTIONS

Section 2.1. Monthly Payment Dates. Notwithstanding any limitation on recourse contained in this Agreement, on each Monthly Payment Date, Seller shall pay (a) in the case of Recourse Obligations (as defined below) owing to the Purchasers (other than the Xxxxxxxx Group and the Liquidity Banks) or the Servicer, as the case may be, to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of such Purchasers or the Servicer, as applicable, and (b) in the case of Recourse Obligations owing to the Xxxxxxxx Group or the Liquidity Banks, the Xxxxxxxx Group Agent, for the benefit of each such Person, in each case, on a full recourse basis and without duplication (i) the Unused Fee, (ii) all CP Costs, together with all Broken Funding Costs (if any), (iii) all amounts payable as Yield, (iv) all amounts payable pursuant to Article X, if any, and (v) all Servicer costs and expenses, including the Servicing Fee, in connection with servicing, administering and collecting the Receivables (all of the foregoing, together with the Administrative Agent’s Fee, collectively, the “Recourse Obligations”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of this Agreement or any Fee Letter shall require the payment or permit the collection of any amounts hereunder in excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law. If at any xxxx Xxxxxx receives any Collections or is deemed to receive any Collections, Seller shall immediately pay such Collections or Deemed Collections to the Servicer for application in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof and, at all times prior to such payment, such Collections or Deemed Collections shall be held in trust by Seller for the exclusive benefit of the Purchasers and the Agents.

Section 2.2. Reinvestment Procedures. On each Business Day prior to the Facility Termination Date, and provided that Section 2.3 shall not then be applicable, (i) the Servicer shall set aside and hold in trust for the payment of any Aggregate Unpaids or for a Reinvestment as provided in this Section 2.2 any Collections received on or prior to such day and not previously set aside or paid; (ii) after payment of amounts (if any) due and owing on such date pursuant to Sections 2.1 and 2.5, Seller hereby requests and the applicable Purchasers hereby agree to make, simultaneously with such receipt, a reinvestment (each, a “Reinvestment”) with that portion of the balance of each and every Collection so received that is part of any Purchaser Interest, such that after giving effect to such Reinvestment, the amount of Capital of such Purchaser Interest immediately after such receipt and corresponding Reinvestment shall be equal to the amount of Capital immediately prior to such receipt; and (iii) the Servicer (and, after delivery of the Collection Notices, the Administrative Agent) shall remit the balance, if any, of such Collections remaining after the applications provided in clause (ii) to the Seller or its designee.

Section 2.3. Liquidation Settlement Procedures.

(a) If on any Business Day on or prior to the Facility Termination Date, a payment is due pursuant to Section 2.5, the Servicer shall immediately pay to the Administrative Agent, for distribution to the Purchasers, from previously received Collections, the amount specified in such Section for application to reduction of the Aggregate Capital, ratably amongst the Purchasers.

(b) On each Business Day on which an Amortization Event has occurred and is continuing and on the Facility Termination Date and each Business Day thereafter, the Servicer shall, at any time upon the request from time to time by (or pursuant to standing instructions from) the Administrative Agent deposit to the Administrative Agent’s Account, for the benefit of the Purchasers, all Collections received on such day, and the Administrative Agent shall distribute such funds in the following order of priority:

(i) first, to the Servicer in payment of the accrued Servicing Fee payable to the Servicer;

(ii) second, in payment in full of the accrued Yield, CP Costs and Unused Fees and other fees, if any, payable by the Seller to any of the Agents or Purchasers;

(iii) third, in reduction of the Aggregate Capital to zero; and

(iv) fourth, in payment in full of all other Aggregate Unpaids not covered in clauses (i) through (iii) above.

The Administrative Agent, upon its receipt of such amounts in the Administrative Agent’s Account, shall distribute such amounts to the Purchasers entitled thereto; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall have insufficient funds to pay all of the above amounts in full on any such date, the Administrative Agent shall pay such amounts in the order of priority set forth above and, with respect to any such category above for which the Administrative Agent shall have insufficient funds to pay all amounts owing on such date, ratably (based on the amounts in such categories owing to such Persons) among all such Persons entitled to payment thereof.

Section 2.4. Payment Rescission. No payment of any of the Aggregate Unpaids shall be considered paid or applied hereunder to the extent that, at any time, all or any portion of such payment or application is rescinded by application of law or judicial authority, or must otherwise be returned or refunded for any reason. Seller shall remain obligated for the amount of any payment or application so rescinded, returned or refunded, and shall promptly pay to the Administrative Agent (for the account of the applicable Person or Persons who suffered such rescission, return or refund) the full amount thereof, plus Yield thereon at the Discount Rate applicable from and after the occurrence of an Amortization Event from the date of any such rescission, return or refunding.

Section 2.5. Maximum Purchaser Interests. Seller shall ensure that the Purchaser Interests of the Purchasers shall at no time exceed in the aggregate 100%. If the aggregate of the Purchaser Interests of the Purchasers exceeds 100%, Seller shall pay to the Administrative Agent’s Account for the ratable benefit of the Purchasers in accordance with their Percentages within one (1) Business Day an amount to be applied to reduce the aggregate Capital, such that after giving effect to such payments, the aggregate of the Purchaser Interests equals or is less than l00%.

Section 2.6. Clean-up Call. In addition to Sellers rights pursuant to Section 1.3, the Servicer shall have the right (after providing written notice to the Agents in accordance with the Required Notice Period), to direct the Seller at any time following the reduction of the Aggregate Capital to a level that is less than 10.0% of the original Purchase Limit, repurchase from the Purchasers all, but not less than all, of the then outstanding Purchaser Interests (a “Clean-up Call” ). Each of the Agents will promptly forward a copy of each such notice to the Purchasers in its Purchaser Group. The aggregate purchase price in respect thereof shall be an amount equal to the Aggregate Unpaids through the date of such repurchase, payable in immediately available funds. Such repurchase shall be without representation, warranty or recourse of any kind by, on the part of, or against any of the Purchasers or Agents, except that the Agents and the Purchasers shall represent and warrant that the Purchasers Interests are free and clear of any Adverse Claim created by any of them. Upon such payment in full of the Aggregate Unpaids following a Clean-up Call, the Commitments and this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect, except for provisions which expressly survive termination.

ARTICLE III
CP FUNDING

Section 3.1. CP Costs. Seller shall pay CP Costs with respect to the Capital associated with each Purchaser Interest of Xxxxxxxx for each day that any Capital in respect of such Purchaser Interest is outstanding. Each such Purchaser Interest funded substantially with Pooled Commercial Paper shall accrue CP Costs each day on a pro rata basis, based upon the percentage share the Capital in respect of such Purchaser Interest represents in relation to all assets held by Xxxxxxxx, as applicable, and funded substantially with Pooled Commercial Paper.

Section 3.2. CP Costs Payments. On each applicable Monthly Payment Date, Seller shall pay to the Administrative Agent’s Account (for the benefit of Xxxxxxxx) an aggregate amount equal to all accrued and unpaid CP Costs in respect of the Capital associated with all Purchaser Interests of Xxxxxxxx for the immediately preceding Accrual Period in accordance with Article II.

Section 3.3. Calculation of CP Costs. On or before the first Business Day of each calendar month hereafter while Xxxxxxxx has any Purchaser Interest outstanding, the Xxxxxxxx Group Agent shall calculate the aggregate amount of CP Costs owing to Xxxxxxxx for the Accrual Period then most recently ended and notify the Seller thereof.

ARTICLE IV
COMMITTED PURCHASER FUNDING

Section 4.1. Committed Purchaser Funding. Each Committed Purchaser Interest shall accrue Yield at a rate per annum equal to the Discount Rate.

Section 4.2. Yield Payments. On each Monthly Payment Date, Seller shall pay to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Committed Purchasers) an aggregate amount equal to the accrued and unpaid Yield on each Committed Purchaser Interest for the Accrual Period (or portion thereof) then most recently ended.

Section 4.3. Suspension of LMIR.

(a) If any Committed Purchaser notifies Seller and the Agents that it has determined that funding its Committed Purchaser Interests at LMIR would violate any applicable law, rule, regulation, or directive of any governmental or regulatory authority, whether or not having the force of law, or that (i) deposits of a type and maturity appropriate to match fund its Committed Purchaser Interests at LMIR are not available or (ii) LMIR does not accurately reflect the cost of acquiring or maintaining a Committed Purchaser Interest at such rate, then the Committed Purchaser(s) in the applicable Purchaser Group shall suspend the availability of LMIR and their Committed Purchaser Interests shall thereafter accrue Yield at the Alternate Base Rate.

(b) If less than all of the Liquidity Banks give a notice pursuant to Section 4.3(a), each Liquidity Bank which gave such a notice shall be obliged, at the request of Seller, to assign all of its rights and obligations hereunder to (i) another Liquidity Bank or (ii) another funding entity acceptable to Xxxxxxxx nominated by Seller or the Xxxxxxxx Group Agent and willing to participate in this Agreement through the Liquidity Termination Date in the place of such notifying Liquidity Bank; provided that (i) the notifying Liquidity Bank receives payment in full, pursuant to an Assignment Agreement, of an amount equal to such notifying Liquidity Bank’s Pro Rata Share of the Capital and Yield owing to all of the Liquidity Banks and all accrued but unpaid fees and other costs and expenses payable in respect of its Pro Rata Share of the Purchaser Interests of the Liquidity Banks, and (ii) the replacement Liquidity Bank otherwise satisfies the requirements of Section 12.1(b).

ARTICLE V

(b) Power and Authority; Due Authorization, Execution and Delivery. The execution and delivery by such Seller Party of this Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which it is a party, and the performance of its obligations hereunder and thereunder and, Seller’s use of the proceeds of the purchases made hereunder, are within its organizational powers and authority and have been duly authorized by all necessary action on its part.

(d) Governmental Authorization.

(j) Perfection. This Agreement, together with the filing of the financing statements contemplated hereby, is effective to, and shall, upon each purchase hereunder, transfer to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the relevant Purchaser or Purchasers (and the Administrative Agent for the benefit of such Purchaser or Purchasers shall acquire from Seller) a valid and perfected first priority undivided percentage ownership or security interest in the Receivables and Related Security, free and clear of any Adverse Claim, except as created by the Transactions Documents. There have been duly filed all financing statements or other similar instruments or documents necessary under the UCC (or any comparable law) of all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect the Administrative Agent’s (on behalf of the Purchasers) ownership or security interest in the Receivables.

(n) Names. In the past five (5) years, Seller has not used any legal names, trade names or assumed names other than the name in which it has executed this Agreement.

(o) Ownership of Seller. Originator owns, directly or indirectly, 100% of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests of Seller, free and clear of any Adverse Claim. Such Equity Interests are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and there are no options, warrants or other rights to acquire securities of Seller.

(p) Not a Regulated Entity. Such Seller Party is not an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or any successor statute. Such Seller Party is not subject to regulation under the Federal Power Act, the Interstate Commerce Act, any state public utilities code, or any other Federal or state statute or regulation limiting its ability to incur Indebtedness or to sell interests in the Receivables or Related Security.

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

(r) Compliance with Credit and Collection Policy. Such Seller Party has complied in all material respects with the Credit and Collection Policy with regard to each Receivable and the related Contract, and has not made any change to such Credit and Collection Policy, except such material change as to which the Agents have been notified in accordance with Section 7.2(c) and has consented.

(s) Payments to Originator. Seller has given reasonably equivalent value to Originator in consideration for the Receivables and such transfer was not made for or on account of an antecedent debt. The transfer by Originator of the Receivables under the Receivable Sale Agreement is not voidable under any section of the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978 (11 U.S.C. §§ 101 et seq.), as amended.

(t) Enforceability of Contracts. Each Contract with respect to each Receivable is effective to create, and has created, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the related Obligor to pay the Outstanding Balance of the Receivable created thereunder and any accrued interest thereon, enforceable against the Obligor in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).

(u) Eligible Receivables. Each Receivable included in the Net Receivables Balance as an Eligible Receivable on any Monthly Report or Interim Report is, as of the date specified in such report, an Eligible Receivable.

(v) Net Receivables Balance. Seller has determined that, immediately after giving effect to each Incremental Purchase and Reinvestment hereunder, the Net Receivables Balance minus the Required Reserves will equal or exceed the Aggregate Capital then outstanding.

(w) Accounting. The manner in which such Seller Party accounts for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Receivable Sale Agreement does not jeopardize the true sale analysis.

Section 5.2. Liquidity Bank Representations and Warranties. Each Liquidity Bank hereby represents and warrants to the Xxxxxxxx Group Agent and Xxxxxxxx that:

(a) Existence and Power. Such Liquidity Bank is a corporation or a banking association duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or organization, and has all power to perform its obligations hereunder.

The execution and delivery by such Liquidity Bank of this Agreement and the performance of its obligations hereunder are within its powers, have been duly authorized by all necessary action, do not contravene or violate (i) its certificate or articles of incorporation or association or by-laws, (ii) any law, rule or regulation applicable to it, (iii) any restrictions under any agreement, contract or instrument to which it is a party or any of its property is bound, or (iv) any order, writ, judgment, award, injunction or decree binding on or affecting it or its property, and do not result in the creation or imposition of any Adverse Claim on its assets. This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Liquidity Bank.

(c) Governmental Authorization. No authorization or approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental authority or regulatory body is required for the due execution and delivery by such Liquidity Bank of this Agreement and the performance of its obligations hereunder.

(d) Binding Effect. This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Liquidity Bank enforceable against such Liquidity Bank in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).

(C) clearly identify its offices (by signage or otherwise) as its offices and allocate to Seller on a reasonable basis the costs of any space shared with the Originator;

(D) have a separate telephone number, which will be answered only in its name and separate stationery, invoices and checks in its own name;

(F) at all times have a Board of Directors consisting of at least three members, at least one member of which is an Independent Director;

(G) observe all formalities as a distinct entity, and ensure that all actions relating to (A) the dissolution or liquidation of Seller or (B) the initiation of, participation in, acquiescence in or consent to any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar proceeding involving Seller, are duly authorized by unanimous vote of its Board of Directors (including the Independent Director);

(H) maintain Seller’s books and records separate from those of Originator and any Affiliate thereof and otherwise readily identifiable as its own assets rather than assets of Originator and any Affiliate thereof;

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

(J) except as herein specifically otherwise provided, maintain the funds or other assets of Seller separate from, and not commingled with, those of Originator or any Affiliate thereof and only maintain bank accounts or other depository accounts to which Seller alone is the account party, into which Seller alone makes deposits and from which Seller alone (or the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Purchasers hereunder) has the power to make withdrawals;

(K) pay all of Seller’s operating expenses from Seller’s own assets (except for certain payments by Originator or other Persons pursuant to allocation arrangements that comply with the requirements of this Section 7.10);

(L) operate its business and activities such that: it does not engage in any business or activity of any kind, or enter into any transaction or indenture, mortgage, instrument, agreement, contract, lease or other undertaking, other than the transactions contemplated and authorized by this Agreement and the Receivable Sale Agreement; and does not create, incur, guarantee, assume or suffer to exist any indebtedness or other liabilities, whether direct or contingent, other than (1) as a result of the endorsement of negotiable instruments for deposit or collection or similar transactions in the ordinary course of business, (2) the incurrence of obligations under this Agreement, (3) the incurrence of obligations, as expressly contemplated in the Receivable Sale Agreement, to make payment to Originator thereunder for the purchase of Receivables from Originator under the Receivable Sale Agreement, and (4) the incurrence of operating expenses in the ordinary course of business of the type otherwise contemplated by this Agreement;

(M) maintain its charter in conformity with this Agreement, such that (1) it does not amend, restate, supplement or otherwise modify its Organization Documents in any respect that would impair its ability to comply with the terms or provisions of any of the Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, this Section 7.10; and (2) its corporate charter, at all times that this Agreement is in effect, provides for (x) not less than ten (10) days’ prior written notice to the Agents of the replacement or appointment of any director that is to serve as an Independent Director for purposes of this Agreement and (y) the condition precedent to giving effect to such replacement or appointment that the Administrative Agent shall have determined in its reasonable judgment that the designated Person satisfies the criteria set forth in the definition herein of “Independent Director;”

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

(O) maintain its legal separateness such that it does not merge or consolidate with or into, or convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of (whether in one transaction or in a series of transactions, and except as otherwise contemplated herein) all or substantially all of its assets (whether now owned or hereafter acquired) to, or acquire all or substantially all of the assets of, any Person, nor at any time create, have, acquire, maintain or hold any interest in any Subsidiary;

(P) maintain at all times adequate capital with which to conduct its business and to meet its obligations as they come due; and

(Q) take such other actions as are necessary on its part to ensure that the facts and assumptions set forth in the opinion issued by Xxxxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx LLP as counsel for the Seller Parties, in connection with the closing or initial Incremental Purchase under this Agreement and relating to substantive consolidation issues, and in the certificates accompanying such opinion, remain true and correct in all material respects at all times.

Seller will, and will require the Originator to, perform each of their respective obligations and undertakings under and pursuant to the Receivable Sale Agreement, will purchase Receivables thereunder in strict compliance with the terms thereof and will vigorously enforce the rights and remedies accorded to Seller under the Receivable Sale Agreement. Seller will take all actions to perfect and enforce its rights and interests (and the rights and interests of the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers as assignees of Seller) under the Receivable Sale Agreement as any of the Agents may from time to time reasonably request, including, without limitation, making claims to which it may be entitled under any indemnity, reimbursement or similar provision contained in the Receivable Sale Agreement.

Section 7.12. Collections. Each Seller Party will cause all Collections on the Receivables to be concentrated each Business Day into the Servicer’s Concentration Account; provided, however, that solely with respect to each account listed on Schedule C (as such Schedule C may be updated by the Servicer with a delivery of a revised Schedule C concurrent with the delivery of the Monthly Report pursuant to Article VIII, provided that no account may be added to Schedule C without the consent of the Agents if, after giving effect to such account’s addition and any prior or concurrent account closures and deletions, the aggregate Collections flowing through all accounts listed on Schedule C could reasonably be expected to exceed 5% of total weekly Collections on a pro forma basis), so long as the daily balance therein does not exceed $2,500, each Seller Party will concentrate the Collections therein into the Servicer’s Concentration Account not less than once per calendar week. The Servicer will sweep all such Collections from the Servicer’s Concentration Account no less than daily into the Facility Account and immediately thereafter transferred to the Originator’s Account. Servicer will cause the Servicer’s Concentration Account to be subject at all times to a Blocked Account Agreement that is in full force and effect. Seller will cause the Facility Account to be subject at all times to a Blocked Account Agreement that is in full force and effect.

Section 7.13. Ownership. Seller will take all necessary action to (i) acquire and maintain legal and equitable title to the Receivables irrevocably in Seller, free and clear of any Adverse Claims other than Adverse Claims in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Purchasers (including, without limitation, the filing of all financing statements or other similar instruments or documents necessary under the UCC (or any comparable law) of all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect Seller’s interest in the Receivables and such other action to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the interest of Seller therein as any of the Agents may reasonably request), and (ii) establish and maintain, in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Purchasers, a valid and perfected first priority undivided percentage ownership interest (and/or a valid and perfected first priority security interest) in the Receivables to the full extent contemplated herein, free and clear of any Adverse Claims other than Adverse Claims in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers (including, without limitation, the filing of all financing statements or other similar instruments or documents necessary under the UCC (or any comparable law) of all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect the Administrative Agent’s (for the benefit of the Purchasers) interest in the Receivables and such other action to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the interest of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers as any of the Agents may reasonably request).

Section 7.14. Taxes. Such Seller Party will file all tax returns and reports required by law to be filed by it and will promptly pay all taxes and governmental charges at any time owing, except any such taxes which are not yet delinquent or are being diligently contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP will have been set aside on its books. Seller will pay when due any taxes payable in connection with the Receivables, exclusive of taxes on or measured by income or gross receipts of any of the Agents or Purchasers.

Section 7.15. Negative Covenants of the Seller Parties. Until the date on which the Aggregate Unpaids have been indefeasibly paid in full and this Agreement terminates in accordance with its terms, each Seller Party hereby covenants, as to itself, that:

(a) Name Change, Offices and Records. Such Seller Party will not change its name, identity or legal structure (within the meaning of Article 9 of any applicable enactment of the UCC) or relocate its chief executive office or any office where Records are kept unless it will have: (i) given the Administrative Agent at least 15 days’ prior written notice thereof and (ii) delivered to the Administrative Agent all financing statements, instruments and other documents requested by any of the Agents in connection with such change or relocation.

(b) Change in Payment Instructions to Obligors. Such Seller Party will not authorize any Obligor to make payment to any account other than a Lock-Box or Collection Account which is swept into the Servicer’s Concentration Account in accordance with Section 7.12.

(c) Modifications to Contracts and Credit and Collection Policy. Such Seller Party will not make any change to the Credit and Collection Policy that could adversely affect the collectability of the Receivables or decrease the credit quality of any newly created Receivables. Except as otherwise permitted pursuant to Article VIII hereof, such Seller Party will not extend, amend or otherwise modify the terms of any Receivable or any Contract related thereto other than in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy.

(d) Sales, Adverse Claims. Such Seller Party will not sell, assign (by operation of law or otherwise) or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, or create or suffer to exist any Adverse Claim upon (including, without limitation, the filing of any financing statement) or with respect to, the Receivables, the Facility Account or the Servicer’s Concentration Account, or assign any right to receive income with respect thereto (other than, in each case, the creation of the interests therein in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Purchasers, provided for herein), and such Seller Party will defend the right, title and interest of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Purchasers, in, to and under any of the foregoing property, against all claims of third parties claiming through or under such Seller Party.

(e) Net Receivables Balance. At no time prior to the Facility Termination Date will Seller permit the Aggregate Capital outstanding to exceed the Net Receivables Balance less the Required Reserves.

(f) Termination Date Determination. Seller will not designate the Termination Date (as defined in the Receivable Sale Agreement), or send any written notice to Originator in respect thereof, without the prior written consent of the Agents, except with respect to the automatic occurrence of such Termination Date arising in accordance with the proviso set forth in Section 7.2(i) of the Receivable Sale Agreement.

(g) Restricted Junior Payments. From and after the occurrence of any Amortization Event, Seller will not make any Restricted Junior Payment if, after giving effect thereto, Seller would fail to meet its obligations set forth in Section 7.10(P).

Section 8.1. Designation of Servicer. The servicing, administration and collection of the Receivables shall be conducted by such Person (the “Servicer”) so designated from time to time in accordance with Article VI of the Receivable Sale Agreement and this Article VIII. Ferrellgas is hereby designated as, and hereby agrees to perform the duties and obligations of, the Servicer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The Agents, acting jointly, may designate as Servicer any Person to succeed Ferrellgas or any successor Servicer; provided, however, that unless an Amortization Event (or another event of the type described in the definition of “Amortization Date” has occurred), replacement of the Servicer shall not result in the occurrence of the Amortization Date.

The Servicer shall, upon the request of the Agents, acting jointly, segregate, in a manner acceptable to the Agents all cash, checks and other instruments received by it from time to time constituting Collections from the general funds of the Servicer or Seller prior to the remittance thereof in accordance with Article II. If the Servicer shall be required to segregate Collections pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Servicer shall segregate and deposit with a bank designated by the Administrative Agent such allocable share of Collections of Receivables set aside for the Purchasers on the first Business Day following receipt by the Servicer of such Collections, duly endorsed or with duly executed instruments of transfer.

(b) The Servicer may, in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy, extend the maturity of any Receivable or adjust the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable as the Servicer determines to be appropriate to maximize Collections thereof; provided, however, that such extension or adjustment shall not alter the status of such Receivable as a Delinquent Receivable, Defaulted Receivable or Charged-Off Receivable or limit the rights of the Agents or the Purchasers under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, from and after the occurrence of an Amortization Event, the Agents shall have the absolute and unlimited right to direct the Servicer to commence or settle any legal action with respect to any Receivable or to foreclose upon or repossess any Related Security.

(c) The Servicer shall hold in trust for Seller and the Purchasers all Records that (i) evidence or relate to the Receivables or (ii) are otherwise necessary or desirable to collect the Receivables and shall, as soon as practicable upon demand of the Administrative Agent following the occurrence of an Amortization Event, deliver or make available to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Purchasers, all such Records, at a place selected by the Administrative Agent. The Servicer shall, from time to time at the request of any Purchaser, furnish to the Purchasers (promptly after any such request) a calculation of the amounts set aside for the Purchasers pursuant to Article II.

(d) Any payment by an Obligor in respect of any indebtedness owed by it to Originator or Seller shall, except as otherwise specified by such Obligor or otherwise required by contract or law and unless otherwise instructed by the Administrative Agent, be applied as a Collection of any Receivable of such Obligor (starting with the oldest such Receivable) to the extent of any amounts then due and payable thereunder before being applied to any other receivable or other obligation of such Obligor.

Section 8.3. Collection Notices. The Administrative Agent is authorized at any time to date and to deliver to the applicable Collection Bank the Collection Notices; provided, however, that nothing herein shall be deemed to give any of the Agents or Purchasers any claim to, Adverse Claim on or right to retain any amounts deposited into the Servicer’s Concentration Account or the Facility Account which do not constitute Collections and provided, further, that unless an Amortization Event (or another event of the type described in the definition of “Amortization Date” has occurred), delivery of the Collection Notices shall not result in the occurrence of the Amortization Date. The Servicer and Seller hereby transfer to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers, exclusive control of the Servicer’s Concentration Account; provided, however, that the Servicer or Seller shall retain the right to direct the disposition of funds therefrom until the Administrative Agent delivers the applicable Collection Notice. The Seller hereby transfers to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers, exclusive control of the Facility Account and each other Collection Account (other than the Servicer’s Concentration Account) that is now or hereafter governed by a Blocked Account Agreement; provided, however, that the Seller shall retain the right to direct the disposition of funds therefrom until the Administrative Agent delivers the applicable Collection Notice. Each of the Seller Parties hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent, and agrees that the Administrative Agent shall be entitled: (i) at any time after delivery of the Collections Notices, to endorse such Seller Party’s name on checks and other instruments representing Collections, (ii) at any time after the earlier to occur of an Amortization Event or replacement of the Servicer, to enforce the Receivables and the Related Security, and (iii) at any time after delivery of the Collections Notices, to take such action as shall be necessary or desirable to cause all cash, checks and other instruments constituting Collections to come into the possession of the Administrative Agent rather than such Seller Party.

Section 8.4. Responsibilities of Seller. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the exercise by the Agents and the Purchasers of their rights hereunder shall not release the Servicer, Originator or Seller from any of their duties or obligations with respect to any Receivables or under the related Contracts. The Purchasers shall have no obligation or liability with respect to any Receivables or related Contracts, nor shall any of them be obligated to perform the obligations of Seller.

Section 8.5. Reports.

(a) The Servicer shall prepare and forward to the Agents (i) on the 18th day of each month hereafter or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each, a “Monthly Reporting Date”), a Monthly Report and (ii) at such times as any of the Agents shall reasonably request, a listing by Obligor of all Receivables together with an aging of all Receivables. Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 7.12, concurrent with the delivery of each Monthly Report, the Servicer may, but is not obligated to, provide an updated Schedule C so long as such updated Schedule C only adds new accounts and deletes previously listed accounts which have been closed. Upon such delivery, Schedule C attached hereto shall be automatically replaced in its entirety with such updated Schedule C without the consent of any other party hereto.

(b) In addition, on each Interim Reporting Date, the Servicer shall prepare and send to each of the Agents an Interim Report as of the close of business on the prior Business Day or week, as applicable; provided that the Servicer may provide an unsigned Interim Report by e-mail so long as such e-mail transmission confirms that such Interim Report is final and the Servicer delivers a signed hard copy by facsimile or mail within two Business Days.

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

(vii) any investigation, litigation or proceeding related to or arising from this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, the transactions contemplated hereby, the use of the proceeds of an Incremental Purchase or a Reinvestment, the ownership of the Purchaser Interests or any other investigation, litigation or proceeding relating to Seller, the Servicer or Originator in which any Indemnified Party becomes involved as a result of any of the transactions contemplated hereby;

(xiii) any action or omission by any Seller Party which reduces or impairs the rights of the Agents or the Purchasers with respect to any Receivable or the value of any such Receivable;

(xiv) any attempt by any Person to void any Incremental Purchase or Reinvestment hereunder under statutory provisions or common law or equitable action; and

Thereafter the Purchasing Liquidity Bank shall for all purposes be a Liquidity Bank party to this Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Liquidity Bank under this Agreement to the same extent as if it were an original party hereto and no further consent or action by Seller, the Purchasers or the Agents shall be required.

(c) Each of the Liquidity Banks agrees that in the event that it shall cease to have a short-term debt rating of A-1 or better by Standard & Poor’s, a division of The XxXxxx-Xxxx Companies, Inc., and P-1 by Xxxxx’x Investor Service, Inc. (an “Affected Liquidity Bank”), such Affected Liquidity Bank shall be obliged, at the request of Xxxxxxxx or the Xxxxxxxx Group Agent, to assign all of its rights and obligations hereunder to (x) another Liquidity Bank or (y) another funding entity nominated by the Xxxxxxxx Group Agent and acceptable to Xxxxxxxx, and willing to participate in this Agreement through the Liquidity Termination Date in the place of such Affected Liquidity Bank; provided that the Affected Liquidity Bank receives payment in full, pursuant to an Assignment Agreement, of an amount equal to such Liquidity Bank’s Pro Rata Share of the Aggregate Capital and Yield owing to the Liquidity Banks and all accrued but unpaid fees and other costs and expenses payable in respect of its Pro Rata Share of the Purchaser Interests of the Liquidity Banks.

(d) With the consent of the Seller as long as no Amortization Event has occurred and is continuing (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), any Committed Purchaser (other than any Liquidity Bank) (“Selling Purchaser”) may at any time and from time to time assign to one or more Persons (“Purchasing Committed Purchaser”) all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to an assignment agreement, in a form reasonably acceptable to the parties thereto, Seller and Administrative Agent (the “Committed Purchaser Assignment Agreement”) executed by such Purchasing Committed Purchaser and such Selling Purchaser. As long as no Amortization Event has occurred and is continuing, each assignee of a Selling Purchaser must have a short-term debt rating of A-1 or better by Standard & Poor’s, a division of The XxXxxx-Xxxx Companies, Inc., and P-1 by Xxxxx’x Investor Service, Inc. Upon delivery of the executed Committed Purchaser Assignment Agreement to the Administrative Agent, such Selling Purchaser shall be released from its obligations hereunder to the extent of such assignment. Thereafter the Purchasing Committed Purchaser shall for all purposes be a Committed Purchaser party to this Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Committed Purchaser under this Agreement to the same extent as if it were an original party hereto and no further consent or action by Seller, the Purchasers or the Agents shall be required.

Section 12.2. Participations.

(a) Any Liquidity Bank may, in the ordinary course of its business at any time sell to one or more Persons (each, a “Participant”) participating interests in its Pro Rata Share of the Purchaser Interests of the Liquidity Banks, its obligations under any Funding Agreement to which it is a party or any other interest of such Liquidity Bank hereunder. Notwithstanding any such sale by a Liquidity Bank of a participating interest to a Participant, such Liquidity Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Liquidity Bank shall remain solely responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and the Seller Parties, the Agents and the other Purchasers shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Liquidity Bank in connection with such Liquidity Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Each Liquidity Bank agrees that any agreement between such Liquidity Bank and any such Participant in respect of such participating interest shall not restrict such Liquidity Bank’s right to agree to any amendment, supplement, waiver or modification to this Agreement, except for any amendment, supplement, waiver or modification described in Section 14.l(b)(i).

(b) Any Committed Purchaser (other than a Liquidity Bank may, in the ordinary course of its business at any time sell to one or more Participants, participating interests in its Purchaser Interests or any other interest of such Committed Purchaser hereunder. Notwithstanding any such sale by such a Committed Purchaser of a participating interest to a Participant, such Committed Purchaser’s rights and obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Committed Purchaser shall remain solely responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and Seller, the Agents and the other Purchasers shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Committed Purchaser in connection with such Committed Purchaser’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Each Committed Purchaser agrees that any agreement between such Committed Purchaser and any such Participant in respect of such participating interest shall not restrict such Committed Purchaser’s right to agree to any amendment, supplement, waiver or modification to this Agreement, except for any amendment, supplement, waiver or modification described in Section 14.l(b)(i).

Section 12.3. Federal Reserve. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any Purchaser may at any time pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its rights (including, without limitation, any Receivable and any rights to payment of Capital and Yield or CP Costs) under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Purchaser to a Federal Reserve Bank, without notice to or consent of the Seller, any other Purchaser or any Agent; provided that no such pledge or grant of a security interest shall release any Purchaser from any of its obligations hereunder, or substitute any such pledgee or grantee for such Purchaser as a party hereto.

ARTICLE XIII
FUNDING AGREEMENTS

Section 13.1. Funding Agreement Fundings. The parties hereto acknowledge that Xxxxxxxx may assign all or any portion of its Purchaser Interests to the Liquidity Banks in its Purchaser Group at any time pursuant to a Funding Agreement to finance or refinance the necessary portion of its Purchaser Interests through a funding under such Funding Agreement to the extent available. The fundings under such Funding Agreement will accrue Yield in accordance with Section 4.1. Regardless of whether a funding of Purchaser Interests by such Liquidity Banks constitutes the direct purchase of a Purchaser Interest hereunder, an assignment under a Funding Agreement of a Purchaser Interest originally funded by Xxxxxxxx or the sale of one or more participations or other interests under a Funding Agreement in such Purchaser Interest, each Liquidity Bank participating in a funding of a Purchaser Interest pursuant to a Funding Agreement shall have the rights and obligations of a “Purchaser” hereunder with the same force and effect as if it had done so directly.

ARTICLE XIV
MISCELLANEOUS

Section 14.1. Waivers and Amendments.

(a) No failure or delay on the part of any of the Agents or Purchasers in exercising any power, right or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or remedy preclude any other further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power, right or remedy. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and nonexclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law. Any waiver of this Agreement shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

(b) No provision of this Agreement may be amended, supplemented, modified or waived except in writing in accordance with the provisions of this Section 14.1(b). The Seller Parties and Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Required Committed Purchasers, may enter into written modifications or waivers of any provisions of this Agreement, provided, however, that no such modification or waiver shall:

(i) without the consent of each affected Purchaser, (A) extend the Liquidity Termination Date or the date of any payment or deposit of Collections by Seller or the Servicer, (B) reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of Yield or any CP Costs (or any component of Yield or CP Costs), (C) reduce any fee payable to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers, (D) except pursuant to Article XII hereof, change the amount of the Capital of any Purchaser, any Liquidity Bank’s Pro Rata Share (except pursuant to a Funding Agreement) or any Committed Purchaser’s Commitment, (E) amend, modify or waive any provision of the definition of Required Committed Purchasers or this Section 14.1(b), (F) consent to or permit the assignment or transfer by Seller of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, (G) change the definition of “Required Reserve” or any component thereof, or (H) amend or modify any defined term (or any defined term used directly or indirectly in such defined term) used in clauses (A) through (G) above in a manner that would circumvent the intention of the restrictions set forth in such clauses; or

(ii) without the written consent of the then Administrative Agent, amend, modify or waive any provision of this Agreement if the effect thereof is to affect the rights or duties of such Administrative Agent.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) the Administrative Agent and Seller, with the consent of each Committed Purchaser, may amend this Agreement on terms satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Seller to add additional Persons as Committed Purchasers hereunder and (B) the Agents may enter into amendments to modify any of the terms or provisions of Article XI, Article XII, Section 14.13 or any other provision of this Agreement without the consent of the Seller Parties, provided that such amendment has no negative impact upon either of the Seller Parties. Any modification or waiver made in accordance with this Section 14.1 shall apply to each of the Purchasers equally and shall be binding upon the Seller Parties, the Purchasers and the Agents.

Section 14.2. Notices. Except as provided in this Section 14.2, all communications and notices provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including bank wire, telecopy or electronic facsimile transmission or similar writing, and if permitted, e-mail) and shall be given to the other parties hereto at their respective addresses or telecopy numbers set forth on the signature pages hereof or at such other address or telecopy number as such Person may hereafter specify for the purpose of notice to each of the other parties hereto. Each such notice or other communication shall be effective (i) if given by telecopy, upon the receipt thereof, (ii) if given by mail, three (3) Business Days after the time such communication is deposited in the mail with first class postage prepaid or (iii) if given by any other means, when received at the address specified in this Section 14.2. Seller hereby authorizes each of the Agents and the Purchasers to effect purchases based on telephonic notices made by any Person whom such Agent or such Purchaser in good faith believes to be acting on behalf of Seller. Seller agrees to deliver promptly to any Agent a written confirmation of each telephonic notice signed by a Responsible Officer of Seller; provided, however, the absence of such confirmation shall not affect the validity of such notice. If the written confirmation differs from the action taken by any of the Agents or Purchasers, as the case may be, the records of such Agent or such Purchaser, as applicable, shall govern absent manifest error.

Section 14.3. Ratable Payments. If any Purchaser, whether by setoff or otherwise, has payment made to it with respect to any portion of the Aggregate Unpaids owing to such Purchaser (other than payments received pursuant to Section 10.2 or 10.3) in a greater proportion than that received by any other Purchaser entitled to receive a ratable share of such Aggregate Unpaids, such Purchaser agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase for cash without recourse or warranty a portion of such Aggregate Unpaids held by the other Purchasers so that after such purchase each Purchaser will hold its ratable proportion of such Aggregate Unpaids; provided that if all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from such Purchaser, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

Section 14.4. Protection of Ownership Interests of the Purchasers.

(a) Seller agrees that from time to time, at its expense, it will promptly execute and deliver all instruments and documents, and take all actions, that may be necessary or desirable, or that any of the Agents may request, to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the Purchaser Interests, or to enable the Agents or the Purchasers to exercise and enforce their rights and remedies hereunder. At any time after the occurrence of an Amortization Event, the Administrative Agent may, or the Administrative Agent may direct Seller or the Servicer to, notify the Obligors of Receivables, at Seller’s expense, of the ownership or security interests of the Purchasers under this Agreement and may also direct that payments of all amounts due or that become due under any or all Receivables be made directly to the Administrative Agent or its designee. Seller or the Servicer (as applicable) shall, at any Purchaser’s request, withhold the identity of such Purchaser in any such notification.

(b) If any Seller Party fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder: (i) any of the Agents or Purchasers may (but shall not be required to) perform, or cause performance of, such obligations, and such Agent’s or such Purchaser’s costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by Seller as provided in Section 10.3, (ii) each Seller Party irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent at any time and from time to time in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, and appoints the Administrative Agent as its attorney-in-fact, to act on behalf of such Seller Party (A) to execute on behalf of Seller as debtor and to file financing statements necessary or desirable in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the interest of the Purchasers in the Receivables and (B) to file a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement with respect to the Receivables as a financing statement in such offices as the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion deems necessary or desirable to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the interests of the Purchasers in the Receivables. The appointment in the preceding clause (ii) is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

Section 14.5. Confidentiality.

(a) Each Seller Party and each Purchaser shall maintain and shall cause each of its employees and officers to maintain the confidentiality of the Fee Letters and the other confidential or proprietary information with respect to any Agent and Xxxxxxxx and their respective businesses obtained by it or them in connection with the structuring, negotiating and execution of the transactions contemplated herein, except that such Seller Party and such Purchaser and its officers and employees may disclose such information to such Seller Party’s and such Purchaser’s external accountants and attorneys and as required by any applicable law or order of any judicial or administrative proceeding.

(b) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Seller Party hereby consents to the disclosure of any nonpublic information with respect to it (i) to the Agents or the Purchasers by each other, (ii) by any of the Agents or the Purchasers to any prospective or actual assignee or participant of any of them, (iii) by the Xxxxxxxx Group Agent to any rating agency, Commercial Paper dealer or provider of a surety, guaranty or credit or liquidity enhancement to Xxxxxxxx or any entity organized for the purpose of purchasing, or making loans secured by, financial assets for which BNP or one of its Affiliates acts as the administrative agent and (iv) to any officers, directors, employees, outside accountants and attorneys of any of the foregoing, provided each such Person is informed of the confidential nature of such information. In addition, the Purchasers and the Agents may disclose any such nonpublic information pursuant to any law, rule, regulation, direction, request or order of any judicial, administrative or regulatory authority or proceedings (whether or not having the force or effect of law).

(c) Notwithstanding any other express or implied agreement to the contrary, the parties hereto agree that each of them and each of their employees, representatives, and other agents may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transaction and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to any of them relating to such tax treatment and tax structure, except where confidentiality is reasonably necessary to comply with U.S. federal or state securities laws. For purposes of this paragraph, the terms “tax treatment” and “tax structure” have the meanings specified in Treasury Regulation section 1.6011-4(c).

Section 14.6. Bankruptcy Petition(a) . Each of the Seller Parties, the Agents and the Committed Purchasers hereby covenants and agrees that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding senior indebtedness of Xxxxxxxx, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, Xxxxxxxx any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or other similar proceeding under the laws of the United States or any state of the United States.

Notwithstanding any provisions contained in this Agreement to the contrary, Xxxxxxxx shall not or shall not be obligated to, pay any amount, if any, payable by it pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document unless (i) Xxxxxxxx has received funds which may be used to make such payment and which funds are not required to repay the Pooled Commercial Paper when due and (ii) after giving effect to such payment, either (x) Xxxxxxxx could issue Pooled Commercial Paper to refinance all outstanding Pooled Commercial Paper and other outstanding amounts (assuming such outstanding Pooled Commercial Paper and other outstanding amounts matured at such time) in accordance with the program documents governing Xxxxxxxx’x securitization program or (y) all Pooled Commercial Paper and other outstanding amounts are paid in full.  Any amount which Xxxxxxxx does not pay pursuant to the operation of the preceding sentence shall not constitute a claim (as defined in §101 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code) against or obligation of Xxxxxxxx for any such insufficiency unless and until Xxxxxxxx satisfies the provisions of clauses (i) and (ii) above.  The provisions of this Section 14.6 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained in Section 14.6 shall affect the obligations of any Liquidity Bank under this Agreement.

Section 14.7. Limitation of Liability. Except with respect to any claim arising out of the willful misconduct or gross negligence of any of the Agents or Purchasers, no claim may be made by any Seller Party or any other Person against any of the Agents or Purchasers or their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, attorneys or agents for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages in respect of any claim for breach of contract or any other theory of liability arising out of or related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith; and each Seller Party hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to xxx upon any claim for any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

Section 14.8. CHOICE OF LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS (AND NOT THE LAW OF CONFLICTS) OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

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

Section 14.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER (WHETHER SOUNDING IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH THIS AGREEMENT, ANY DOCUMENT EXECUTED BY ANY SELLER PARTY PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER.

Section 14.11. Integration; Binding Effect; Survival of Terms.

(a) This Agreement and each other Transaction Document contain the final and complete integration of all prior expressions by the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof superseding all prior oral or written understandings.

(b) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns (including any trustee in bankruptcy). This Agreement shall create and constitute the continuing obligations of the parties hereto in accordance with its terms and shall remain in full force and effect until terminated in accordance with its terms; provided, however, that the rights and remedies with respect to (i) any breach of any representation and warranty made by any Seller Party pursuant to Article V, (ii) the indemnification and payment provisions of Article X, and Sections 14.5 and 14.6 shall be continuing and shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

Section 14.12. Counterparts; Severability; Section References. 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. Any provisions of this Agreement which are prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Unless otherwise expressly indicated, all references herein to “Article,” “Section,” “Schedule” or “Exhibit” shall mean articles and sections of, and schedules and exhibits to, this Agreement.

Without limiting the generality of this Section 14.13, each Purchaser hereby acknowledges and consents to any and all BNP Roles (except no Purchaser may be required to accept BNP in a BNP Role for such Purchaser without such Purchaser’s written consent, other than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) and agrees that in connection with any BNP Role, BNP may take, or refrain from taking, any action that it, in its discretion, deems appropriate, including, without limitation, in its role as agent for Xxxxxxxx, and the giving of notice to any Agent of a mandatory purchase (pursuant to a Funding Agreement).

Section 14.14. Characterization.

(a) It is the intention of the parties hereto that each purchase hereunder shall constitute and be treated as an absolute and irrevocable sale, which purchase shall provide the applicable Purchaser with the full benefits of ownership of the applicable Purchaser Interest. Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, each sale of a Purchaser Interest hereunder is made without recourse to Seller; provided, however, that (i) Seller shall be liable to each of the Purchasers and the Agents for all representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities made by Seller pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and (ii) such sale does not constitute and is not intended to result in an assumption by any of the Purchasers or the Agents or any assignee thereof of any obligation of Seller or Originator or any other person arising in connection with the Receivables or any other obligations of Seller or Originator.

(b) In addition to any ownership interest which the Administrative Agent may from time to time acquire pursuant hereto, to secure the prompt and complete payment of the Aggregate Unpaids, Seller hereby grants to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Purchasers a valid and perfected security interest in all of Seller’s right, title and interest, now existing or hereafter arising, in (i) the Receivables, the Related Security and the Collections, (ii) the Facility Account and the Servicer’s Concentration Account, (iii) Seller’s rights and remedies under the Receivable Sale Agreement, and (iv) all proceeds of any thereof prior to all other liens on and security interests therein. The Agents and the Purchasers shall have, in addition to the rights and remedies that they may have under this Agreement, all other rights and remedies provided to a secured creditor under the UCC and other applicable law, which rights and remedies shall be cumulative.
