RECITALS:


A.	Wolverine, Administrative Agent and the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”) have entered into a Credit Agreement dated as of July 31, 2012 (as amended and in effect from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), pursuant to which the Lenders have made available to Wolverine a term loan facility and a revolving credit facility.


B.	Administrative Agent, for the benefit of itself, the Lenders and various other secured parties (collectively, the “Creditors”), has received, in connection therewith, a security interest in certain property of Wolverine and other Debtors, including accounts receivable owed to the Debtors.

Pursuant to that certain Receivables Purchase Agreement dated as of December 22, 2014 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “PA”), by and between the Debtors and Purchaser, the Debtors will from time to time sell the “Purchased Receivables” (as used in this Agreement, such term is given the meaning assigned thereto in the PA). Each such sale under the PA, a “Sale” and collectively the “Sales”.


D.	It is the desire and intention of the parties hereto to reflect the release of the security interest of the Creditors in (a) the Collection Account (as defined in the PA) and (b) Purchased Receivables upon the Sale thereof.

NOW, THEREFORE:

The Debtors hereby (a) certify as of each date a Sale is consummated, that such Sale is permitted under Section 7.5 of the Credit Agreement and (b) hereby request, in order to consummate each such Sale, that Administrative Agent agree that, with respect to any Purchased Receivables, the security interests of the Creditors in such Purchased Receivables are released automatically and without further action by Administrative Agent upon consummation of the Sale thereof.

Effective upon the consummation of any Sale, Administrative Agent agrees that the security interest of the Creditors in the Purchased Receivables subject to such Sale is hereby released automatically and without further action by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent agrees to take any action requested by the Loan Parties having the effect of releasing the security interest of the Creditors in the Purchased Receivables subject to such Sale or further evidencing such release to the extent necessary to permit consummation of such Sale. Administrative Agent further releases any security interest of the Creditors in the Collection Account as of the date hereof, and agrees to take any action requested by the Loan Parties evidencing such release.

The Purchaser hereby acknowledges and agrees to act as trustee on behalf of the Administrative Agent and hold in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent any amounts that may come into its possession that derive from accounts receivable owed to Debtors other than Purchased Receivables. Upon written notice from Administrative Agent or Wolverine, Purchaser agrees to as promptly as practicable turn or pay over to Administrative Agent (pursuant to wire instructions set forth in such notice) any amounts that may come into its possession that derive from accounts receivable owed to Debtors other than Purchased Receivables.

Except as set forth above, neither party shall have any other duty or obligation to the other of any other nature, including with respect to the attachment or creation of any other party’s security interest or any credit decisions of such other party with respect to the Debtors. Administrative Agent acknowledges that Purchaser and the Debtors have or may have business relationships in addition to the purchase and sale of the Purchased Receivables.

This Agreement shall remain in effect until the Agreement Termination Date, as defined in the PA (including during a bankruptcy proceeding involving Debtors); provided that this Agreement shall terminate immediately upon the termination of the Credit Agreement and release by Administrative Agent of its liens on the Collateral (as defined in the Credit Agreement) (subject to reinstatement to the extent the debt under the Credit Agreement and liens securing such debt are reinstated as the result of any bankruptcy proceeding). This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Administrative Agent and Purchaser and their respective successors and assigns.


5.	Wolverine hereby agrees that it will not enter into any amendment, restatement, supplement or other modification of the PA that is adverse to any Creditor without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. Wolverine hereby agrees to promptly provide Administrative Agent with any amendment, restatement, supplement or other modification of the PA promptly upon the execution thereof.

All notices, demands, requests, consents, approvals and other communications required or permitted hereunder (“Notices”) must be in writing and will be effective upon receipt. Notices may be given in any manner to which the parties may agree. Without limiting the foregoing, first-class mail, facsimile transmission and commercial courier service are hereby agreed to as acceptable methods for giving Notices.

All notices to a Debtor shall be sent c/o Wolverine at its address set forth above.


7.	This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, which taken together shall constitute a single copy of this Agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or by electronic transmission in portable document format (pdf) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.


8.	This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to conflicts of law principles.


9.	This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.


10.	No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by all the parties hereto, and any such amendment or waiver shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.


11.	Any provision of this Agreement that is 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 or thereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.


12.	EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, 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 OR ANY DOCUMENT EXECUTED OR DELIVERED PURSUANT HERETO.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the parties hereto has executed this Agreement as of the date and year first above written.
