SECTION 2.02 Procedures for Credit Extensions. (a) Each Loan hereunder shall be made on at least one (1) Business Day's prior written request from the Transferor to the Administrative Agent and each Class Agent in the form of a Loan Request attached hereto as Exhibit A. Each such Loan Request shall be delivered no later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day prior to the proposed date of such Credit Extension (it being understood that any such Loan Request delivered after such time shall be deemed to have been made on the following Business Day); provided, however, that the Transferor may deliver a same-day Loan Request on up to four (4) Business Days during any one week, in which case the Transferor must deliver the Loan Request by not later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date of such Credit Extension, and the Transferor shall deliver such Loan Request directly to each Class Investor. Each such Loan Request shall specify (i) the amount of the Loan(s) requested (which shall not be less than $5,000,000 on an aggregate basis for all Classes and shall be an integral multiple of $1,000,000, and in the case of any same-day Credit Extension, not greater than $100,000,000), (ii) the allocation of such amount among the Classes (which shall be ratable based on the Class Commitments), (iii) the account to which the proceeds of such Loan shall be distributed and (iv) the date such Credit Extension is to be made (which shall be a Business Day).

(d) The Transferor shall repay in full the outstanding Capital of each Class Investor on the Maturity Date.

Any such prepayment will reduce the Capital of each Class on a pro rata basis based on the outstanding Capital of each such Class. All accrued Interest and Fees relating to the Capital prepaid pursuant to this Section 2.04(a) shall be due and payable on the following Settlement Date in accordance with Section 2.05(b).
(b) The Transferor may, upon not less than thirty (30) days' prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and each Class Agent, terminate in whole or permanently reduce in part the Facility Limit and the Commitments in an amount up to the amount by which the Facility Limit exceeds the Aggregate Capital; provided, that (i) any partial reduction of Commitments shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $20,000,000 and integral multiples of $10,000,000 in excess of that amount, and (ii) no Termination Event or Potential Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing or would result from any such termination or reduction.

In connection with any termination of the Facility Limit and the Commitments in whole pursuant to this Section 2.04(b), the Transferor may designate any date occurring on or after such termination in whole (subject to payment of all outstanding Obligations hereunder) as the Termination Date.
SECTION 2.05 Interest and Fees.

The Transferor shall pay all Interest and Fees accrued during each Interest Period on the immediately following Settlement Date in accordance with the terms and priorities for payment set forth in Section 3.01.
SECTION 2.06 Eurodollar Rate Protection; Illegality. If any Class Agent determines, with respect to its Class Investors that have extended Loans accruing Interest by reference to the Eurodollar Rate, that:

(b) it is unable to obtain matching deposits in the London interbank market to fund the Capital held by the related Class;
(c) the Eurodollar Rate will not adequately reflect the cost of funding or maintaining the Capital; or
(d) any Change in Law makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other Official Body asserts that it is unlawful, to fund or maintain the Capital by reference to a Eurodollar Rate;
then, in each case, such Class Agent shall forthwith notify the Administrative Agent and the Transferor of the existence of such circumstances, and until such Class Agent has notified the Administrative Agent and the Class Agent that such circumstances no longer exist, Interest on the Capital held by the related Class shall accrue at the Base Rate.
SECTION 2.07 Records of Loans. Each Class Agent shall record in its records, the date and amount of each Loan made by the Class Investors in its Class hereunder, the interest rate with respect thereto, the Interest accrued thereon and each repayment and payment thereof.

OF RECEIVABLES
SECTION 8.01 Appointment of the Collection Agent.
(a) The servicing and administering of Collections on the Pool Receivables shall be conducted by the Person so designated from time to time as the Collection Agent in accordance with this Section 8.01. Tech Data is hereby designated as, and hereby agrees to perform the duties and obligations of, the Collection Agent pursuant to the terms hereof. Upon the occurrence of a Collection Agent Default or a Termination Event, the Administrative Agent may (with the consent of the Majority Class Agents) and shall (at the direction of the Majority Class Agents) designate as Collection Agent any Person (including itself) to succeed Tech Data or any successor Collection Agent, on the condition in each case that any such Person so designated shall agree to perform the duties and obligations of the Collection Agent pursuant to the terms hereof. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent shall not have any obligation to designate itself as, or to become, a successor Collection Agent except in its sole discretion.
(b) Upon the designation of a successor Collection Agent as set forth in clause (a) above, the removed Collection Agent agrees that, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, it will terminate its activities as Collection Agent hereunder in a manner that the Administrative Agent reasonably determines will facilitate the transition of the performance of such activities to the new Collection Agent, and shall cooperate with and assist such new Collection Agent. Such cooperation shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, include access to and transfer of records (including all applicable Contracts) related to Pool Receivables and use by the new Collection Agent of all licenses (or the obtaining of new licenses), hardware or software, in each case, that are necessary to service the Pool Receivables and the Related Security.
(c) Tech Data acknowledges that, in making its decision to execute and deliver this Agreement, the Administrative Agent and each member in each Class have relied on Tech Data's agreement to act as Collection Agent hereunder. Accordingly, Tech Data agrees that it will not voluntarily resign as Collection Agent without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Majority Class Agents.
(d) The Collection Agent may not delegate any of its rights, duties or obligations hereunder, or designate a substitute Collection Agent, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent; provided, that the Collection Agent may delegate its duties and obligations hereunder to AVT TS with respect to the Receivables for which AVT TS is the applicable Originator, and the Collection Agent may hereafter delegate its duties and obligations to any additional Originator which is an Affiliate of Tech Data and which becomes party to the Originator Sale Agreement from time to time, with respect to Receivables originated by such Originator. Notwithstanding any delegation of any duties or obligations of the Collection Agent, the Collection Agent shall continue to remain solely liable for the performance of its duties and obligations as Collection Agent hereunder and the Credit Parties shall have the right to look solely to the Collection Agent for performance.
SECTION 8.02 Duties of the Collection Agent. The Collection Agent shall take or cause to be taken all such action as may be necessary or appropriate to service and administer the collection of each Pool Receivable from time to time, all in accordance with this Agreement and all Applicable Law, with commercially reasonable care and diligence, in accordance with the applicable Credit and Collection Policy in a manner consistent in all material respects with the past practices of the Originators (after taking into consideration the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents). The Collection Agent shall set aside, for the accounts of each Class, the amount of Collections to which each such Class is entitled in accordance with Article III hereof. So long as no Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collection Agent may, in accordance with the applicable Credit and Collection Policy, extend the maturity of Receivables, but not more than sixty (60) days beyond the original maturity date, and otherwise extend the maturity or adjust the Outstanding Balance and take such other actions (including modifications, waivers or restructurings of Pool Receivables and related Contracts) as the Collection Agent may determine 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 or a Defaulted Receivable; provided, further, that with respect to an aggregate Outstanding Balance of Pool Receivables that does not at any time exceed $5,000,000, the Collection Agent may extend the maturity more than sixty (60) days beyond the original maturity date (which extension shall not alter the status of such Receivable as a Delinquent Receivable or a Defaulted Receivable). If a Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Collection Agent may modify, waive or restructure a Pool Receivable (or reflect any related adjustments) only upon the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. The Transferor shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, all Records that evidence or relate to the Pool Receivables or the Collateral to, or at the direction of, the Administrative Agent, which Records and documents shall in turn be delivered to the Collection Agent to be held in trust for the Transferor and the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Administrative Agent shall have the absolute and unlimited right to direct the Collection Agent to commence or settle any legal action to enforce collection of any Pool Receivable that is a Defaulted Receivable or to foreclose upon or repossess any Related Security with respect to such Defaulted Receivable. The Collateral Agent shall not make the Administrative Agent or any of the Credit Parties a party to any litigation without the prior written consent of such Person.
SECTION 8.03 Lock-Box Account Arrangements.
(a) In the event a Collection Agent Ratings Event occurs, Tech Data and the Transferor shall, and shall cause each Originator to, within sixty (60) days, cause all Lock‑Box Accounts to be established in the name of the Transferor rather than in the name of Tech Data, Seller or any Originator, and in each case, cause such Lock-Box Accounts to be subject to the continued security interest and control of the Administrative Agent.
(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Collection Agent Default or a Termination Event, the Administrative Agent may (with the consent of the Majority Class Agents) and shall (upon the direction of the Majority Class Agents) at any time thereafter give notice to each Lock-Box Bank that the Administrative Agent is exercising its rights under the Lock-Box Agreements to do any or all of the following: (a) to have the exclusive ownership and control of the Lock-Box Accounts transferred to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) and to exercise exclusive dominion and control over the funds deposited therein, (b) to have the proceeds that are sent to the respective Lock-Box Accounts redirected pursuant to the Administrative Agent's instructions rather than deposited in the applicable Lock-Box Account and (c) to take any or all other actions permitted under the applicable Lock-Box Agreement. The Transferor hereby agrees that if the Administrative Agent at any time takes any action set forth in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall have exclusive control (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) of the proceeds (including Collections) of all Pool Receivables and the Transferor hereby further agrees to take any other action reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent for the purpose of transferring such control. Any proceeds of Pool Receivables received by the Transferor or the Collection Agent thereafter shall be sent promptly to, or as otherwise instructed by, the Administrative Agent (and until so sent, shall be deemed to be held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties)).

(iii) Tech Data shall, at the Administrative Agent's request, (A) assemble all of the Records, and shall make the same available to the Administrative Agent at a place selected by the Administrative Agent or its designee, and (B) segregate all cash, checks and other instruments received by it from time to time constituting Collections of Pool Receivables in a manner acceptable to the Administrative Agent and shall, promptly upon receipt, remit all such cash, checks and instruments, duly endorsed or with duly executed instruments of transfer, to the Administrative Agent or its designee for the benefit of the Secured Parties.
(iv) The Transferor and Tech Data hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to take any and all steps in the Transferor's or Tech Data's name and on behalf of the Transferor or Tech Data necessary or desirable, in the determination of the Administrative Agent, to collect all amounts due under any and all Pool Receivables, including, without limitation, endorsing the Transferor's or Tech Data's name on checks and other instruments representing Collections and enforcing such Pool Receivables and the related Contracts against the related Pool Obligor.
SECTION 8.05 Responsibilities of the Transferor. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Transferor, Tech Data and each other Originator shall (i) perform all of their respective obligations under the Contracts related to the Pool Receivables, if any, to the same extent as if interests in such Pool Receivables had not been pledged hereunder, and the exercise by the Administrative Agent or any other Credit Party of their respective rights hereunder shall not relieve the Transferor, Tech Data or any Originator from such obligations and (ii) pay when due any Taxes, including any sales taxes payable in connection with the Pool Receivables and their creation and satisfaction.

SECTION 8.06 Servicing Fee.
(a) For its services hereunder, the Collection Agent shall be entitled to a fee (the "Servicing Fee") equal to 0.75% per annum of the daily average outstanding Capital. Accrued Servicing Fees shall be payable from Collections to the extent of available funds in accordance with Section 3.01(b).

At any reasonable time and from time to time at the reasonable request of the Administrative Agent or any Class Agent, during the Collection Agent's normal business hours and upon five (5) Business Days' prior notice to the Transferor, the Transferor shall direct the Collection Agent to permit such person as the Administrative Agent or any Class Agent may designate, at the cost and expense of the Collection Agent, to inspect and take copies and abstracts from the financial books and records maintained by the Collection Agent, and to visit the properties of the Collection Agent utilized in the collection, processing or servicing of the Receivables for the purpose of examining such Records, and to discuss the Collection Agent's affairs with its officers, employees and independent accountants, in each case, having knowledge of such matters; provided, however, as long as no Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent or any Class Agent may make such request only one time per calendar year; provided, further, if a Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent or any Class Agent may make such request at any time. In connection with all audits performed under this Agreement, the Administrative Agent and each Class Agent shall use reasonable efforts to coordinate the staffing and timing of such audits in order to minimize the cost and expense thereof and to the extent possible have such audits conducted by all parties at the same time. The Administrative Agent shall also solicit input from each Class Agent with respect to the scope of such coordinated audits.

SECTION 10.03 Administrative Agent and Affiliates. With respect to any Credit Extension or interests therein owned by any Credit Party that is also the Administrative Agent, such Credit Party shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Credit Party and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to take action under any Transaction Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Class Agents or the Majority Class Agents, as the case may be, and assurance of its indemnification by the Bank Investors, as it deems appropriate. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document in accordance with a request or at the direction of the Class Agents or the Majority Class Agents, as the case may be, and such request or direction and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all Credit Parties. The Credit Parties and the Administrative Agent agree that unless any action to be taken by the Administrative Agent under a Transaction Document (i) specifically requires the advice or concurrence of all Class Agents or (ii) may be taken by the Administrative Agent alone or without any advice or concurrence of any Class Agent, then the Administrative Agent may take action based upon the advice or concurrence of the Majority Class Agents.

Each Credit Party expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Transferor or any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent. Each Credit Party represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent that, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Credit Party and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, it has made and will continue to make its own appraisal of, and investigation into, the business, operations, property, prospects, financial and other conditions and creditworthiness of the Transferor, each Originator or the Collection Agent and the Pool Receivables and its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to take, or omit, action under any Transaction Document.

SECTION 10.09 Successor Administrative Agent.
(a) The Administrative Agent may, upon at least thirty (30) days' notice to the Transferor, the Collection Agent and each Class Agent, resign as Administrative Agent.

If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Majority Class Agents, within thirty (30) days after the departing Administrative Agent's giving of notice of resignation, the departing Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Secured Parties, appoint a successor Administrative Agent as successor Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Majority Class Agents within sixty (60) days after the departing Administrative Agent's giving of notice of resignation, the departing Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Secured Parties, petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Administrative Agent. For so long as no Termination Event or Potential Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Transferor shall have the right to approve any successor Administrative Agent appointed hereunder, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
(b) Upon such acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights and duties of the resigning Administrative Agent, and the resigning Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Transaction Documents. After any resigning Administrative Agent's resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article X and Article XII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent.

If a Class Agent receives such a notice, it shall promptly give notice thereof to the Credit Parties in its Class and to the Administrative Agent (but only if such notice received by such Class Agent was not sent by the Administrative Agent). A Class Agent may take such action concerning a Potential Termination Event or Termination Event as may be directed by Bank Investors in its Class representing a majority of the Commitments in such Class (subject to the other provisions of this Article XI), but until such Class Agent receives such directions, such Class Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, as such Class Agent deems advisable and in the best interests of the Class Conduits and Bank Investors in its Class.

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

(a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:
(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Affected Person (except any reserve requirement reflected in any Eurodollar Rate);
(ii) subject any Affected Person to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) clauses (b) through (d) of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, commitments or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or
(iii) impose on any Affected Person or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting the Collateral, this Agreement, any other Transaction Document, any Program Support Agreement, or any Loan made by, or supported by, such Affected Person or any letter of credit or participation therein;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Affected Person of (A) acting as the Administrative Agent, a Class Agent or a Class Investor hereunder or as a Program Support Provider with respect to a Class Investor for the transactions contemplated hereby or (B) making, converting to, continuing, funding or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Affected Person hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then, beginning on the Settlement Date following the calendar month during which the Transferor received written demand therefor, the Transferor will pay to such Affected Person, in accordance with Section 3.01(b), such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Person for such additional costs or expenses incurred or reduction suffered.
(b) Capital Requirements. If any Affected Person determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Affected Person's capital as a consequence of this Agreement, or the Commitments of, or the Loans made or supported by, such Affected Person, in each case to a level below that which such Affected Person could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Affected Person's policies with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then, beginning on the Settlement Date following the calendar month during which the Transferor received written request therefor, setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of such reduced rate of return, the Transferor will pay to such Affected Person, in accordance with Section 3.01(b), such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Person for any such reduction suffered; provided, that such amounts shall only be payable by the Transferor to such Affected Person so long as (a) such Affected Person is charging such amounts to similarly situated borrowers or (b) an Official Body has indicated to the Affected Person that the Commitments of, or the Loans made or supported by, such Affected Person, or other similar transactions are, subject to such Change in Law.
(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Class Agent on behalf of the related Affected Person setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Affected Person as specified in clause (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Transferor shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided, that the Affected Person or the Class Agent, as applicable, shall have prepared such certificate with due care and in good faith and that such certificate sets forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation of such amounts. The Transferor shall pay such Affected Person the amount shown as due on any such certificate on the Settlement Date following its receipt thereof in accordance with Section 3.01(b).
(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Affected Person to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Affected Person's right to demand such compensation; provided that the Transferor shall not be required to compensate an Affected Person pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or expenses incurred or reductions suffered more than nine (9) months prior to the date that such Affected Person (or its related Class Agent or Class Investor on its behalf) notifies the Transferor of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or expenses or reductions and of such Affected Person's intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or expenses or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
SECTION 12.04 Taxes.
(a) Withholding of Taxes; Gross-Up. Each payment by the Transferor under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to any Affected Person shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law imposed by an Official Body. If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount of deducted or withheld Taxes to the relevant Official Body in accordance with Applicable Law. If any such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the amount payable by the Transferor shall be increased as necessary so that, after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section), the applicable Affected Person receives an amount equal to the amount it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Transferor. The Transferor shall timely pay or cause to be paid any Other Taxes to the relevant Official Body in accordance with Applicable Law, or, at the option of the Administrative Agent, timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes imposed by an Official Body.
(c) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by or on behalf of the Transferor to an Official Body pursuant to this Section 12.04, the Transferor shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and each applicable Class Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Official Body evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Class Agent.
(d) Indemnification by the Transferor. The Transferor shall indemnify each Affected Person receiving any payment under any Transaction Document for any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts paid or payable under this paragraph) payable or paid by such Affected Person or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Affected Person and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Official Body. The indemnity under this paragraph shall be paid by the Transferor beginning on the Settlement Date following the calendar month during which the Transferor receives a certificate from the related Class Agent of such Affected Person (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) stating the amount of any Indemnified Taxes so paid or payable by such Affected Person and describing in reasonable detail the basis for the indemnification claim. Such certificate shall be conclusive of the amount so paid or payable absent manifest error.
(e) Indemnification of the Administrative Agent by Affected Persons. Each Class Agent Bank Investor shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor (i) for any Taxes attributable to such Class Agent, such Bank Investor or their related Affected Persons (but, in the case of any Indemnified Taxes, only to the extent that the Transferor has not already indemnified (or is not already scheduled to indemnify) the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Transferor to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to the failure of such Class Agent, such Bank Investor or their related Affected Persons to comply with Section 13.03(g) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Class Agent, such Bank Investor or their related Affected Persons, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Transaction Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Official Body. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Class Agent by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Class Agent and each Class Investor, on behalf of themselves and their related Affected Persons hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Affected Persons under any Transaction Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to such Affected Persons from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e).
(f) Status of Affected Persons. (g) Any Affected Person that is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of, any applicable withholding Tax with respect to any payments under any Transaction Document shall deliver to each Withholding Agent, on or prior to the Amendment Date and (so long as it remains eligible to do so) at the time or times reasonably requested by such Withholding Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by such Withholding Agent as will permit such payments to be made without, or at a reduced rate of, withholding. In addition, any Affected Person receiving any payment under any Transaction Document, if reasonably requested by any Withholding Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by such Withholding Agent as will enable such Withholding Agent to determine whether or not such Affected Person is subject to any backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in clauses (A) through (E) of this paragraph (g)(ii) below) shall not be required if in such Affected Person's reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Affected Person to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Affected Person. Upon the reasonable request of any Withholding Agent, an Affected Person shall update any form or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section 12.04(f). If any form or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section 12.04(f) expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect with respect to any Affected Person, such Affected Person shall promptly (and in any event within ten (10) days after such expiration, obsolescence or inaccuracy) notify each Withholding Agent in writing of such expiration, obsolescence or inaccuracy and update the form or certification if it is legally eligible to do so. Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, a Withholding Agent shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph that it is not legally able to deliver.
(i) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Affected Person receiving any payment under any Transaction Document shall, if it is legally eligible to do so, deliver to each Withholding Agent (in such number of copies as is reasonably requested by such Withholding Agent) on or prior to the date on which such Affected Person becomes a party hereto (or if not a party hereto, on or prior to the date on which it would, contingently or otherwise, become entitled to any payments hereunder) and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Transferor or the Administrative Agent, duly completed and executed copies of whichever of the following is applicable:
(A) in the case of an Affected Person that is a U.S. Person, IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Class Investor is exempt from U.S. Federal backup withholding tax;
(B) in the case of an Affected Person that is a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States of America is a party (1) with respect to payments of interest under this Agreement, IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the "interest" article of such tax treaty and (2) with respect to any other applicable payments under this Agreement, IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the "business profits" or "other income" article of such tax treaty;

(D) in the case of an Affected Person that is a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, both (1) IRS Form W‑8BEN-E and (2) a certificate to the effect that such Affected Person is not (x) a "bank" within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (y) a "10 percent shareholder" of the Transferor within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code or (z) a "controlled foreign corporation" described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (each, a "U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate");
(E) in the case of an Affected Person that is a Foreign Lender and is not the beneficial owner of payments made under this Agreement (including a partnership or a participating Class Investor), (1) an IRS Form W-8IMY on behalf of itself and (2) the relevant forms prescribed in clauses (A), (B), (C), (D) and (F) of this paragraph (g)(ii) that would be required of each such beneficial owner, partner of such partnership or participant if such beneficial owner, partner or participant were a Class Investor; provided that if such Class Investor is a partnership and one or more of its partners are claiming the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, such Class Investor may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate on behalf of such partners; or
(F) any other form prescribed by law as a basis for claiming exemption from, or a reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax, together with such supplementary documentation as shall be necessary to enable each Withholding Agent to determine the amount of Tax (if any) required by Applicable Law to be withheld.
(ii) If a payment received by an Affected Person under any Transaction Document would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Affected Person were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Affected Person shall deliver to any Withholding Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by such Withholding Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by such Withholding Agent as may be necessary for such Withholding Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Affected Person has or has not complied with such Affected Person's obligations under FATCA and, as necessary, to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (f)(iii), "FATCA" shall include any and all amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement and any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection with FATCA.
(h) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any Affected Person determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section (including additional amounts paid pursuant to this Section), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including any Taxes) of such Affected Person and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Official Body with respect to such refund). In the event such Affected Person is required to repay such refund to the relevant Official Body, such indemnifying party shall repay to such Affected Person, upon the request of the related Class Agent on behalf of such Affected Person (or in the event such indemnifying party is the Transferor, in accordance with Section 3.01(b) beginning on the Settlement Date following the calendar month during which the Transferor has received such request), the amount of the refund paid by such Affected Person to such indemnifying party pursuant to the prior sentence (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Official Body). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph, in no event will any Affected Person be required to pay any amount to any indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph if such payment would place such Affected Person in a less favorable position (on a net after-Tax basis) than such Affected Person would have been in the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any Affected Person to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
(i) Survival. Each party's obligations under this Section 12.04 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, any Credit Party, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the Obligations and the Collection Agent's obligations hereunder.
(j) Intended Tax Treatment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, all parties to this Agreement covenant and agree to treat each Loan under this Agreement as debt (and all Interest as interest) for all federal, state, local and franchise tax purposes and agree not to take any position on any tax return inconsistent with the foregoing.
(k) References to Applicable Law. All references to Applicable Law in this Section 12.04 shall be deemed to include FATCA.
SECTION 12.05 Replacement Persons. If (i) the Transferor receives a claim for reimbursement or compensation under Section 12.03 by any Class Investor or any other Affected Person relating to a Class Investor, or if the Transferor is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Class Investor or any Official Body for the account of any Class Investor pursuant to Section 12.04 and, in each case, payment thereof is not waived by such Class Investor or Affected Person, as applicable, (ii) any Class Investor becomes a Defaulting Lender or (iii) any Class Investor becomes a Non-Extending Lender, then the Transferor may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Class Investor and the Administrative Agent, require such Class Investor to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 13.03), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to reimbursement, indemnification or other payments pursuant to this Article XII) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Transaction Documents to an assignee pursuant to Section 13.03 that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Class Investor, if a Class Investor accepts such assignment); provided that:
(a) the Transferor shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 13.03;
(b) such Class Investor shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Capital, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Transferor (in the case of all other amounts);
(c) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 12.03 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 12.04, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;
(d) such assignment does not conflict with Applicable Law; and
(e) in the case of any assignment resulting from a Class Investor becoming a Non-Extending Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable extension of the Scheduled Termination Date.
A Class Investor shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Class Investor or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Transferor to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
SECTION 12.06 Costs and Expenses. In addition to the rights of indemnification granted under Section 12.01 hereof, the Transferor agrees to pay (or if applicable, reimburse), in accordance with Section 3.01(b) beginning on the Settlement Date following the calendar month during which the Transferor has received written demand therefor, all reasonable out of pocket expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys', accountants', rating agencies', and other third parties' fees and expenses, any filing fees and expenses incurred by officers or employees of any Credit Party) or intangible, documentary or recording taxes incurred by or on behalf of any of the Credit Parties (i) in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and any documents or instruments delivered pursuant hereto and thereto and the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including the perfection or protection of the security interest granted hereunder) and (ii) from time to time (A) relating to any amendments, waivers or consents under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, (B) arising in connection with any Credit Party's enforcement or preservation of rights (including the perfection and protection of the security interest granted hereunder), or (C) arising in connection with any audit, dispute, disagreement, litigation or preparation for litigation involving this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents.

(d) Register. The Administrative Agent shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Transferor, maintain at its address referred to on Schedule III of this Agreement (or such other address of the Administrative Agent notified by the Administrative Agent to the other parties hereto) a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance Agreement delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Bank Investors and the Class Conduits, the Commitment of each Bank Investor and the aggregate outstanding Capital (and stated interest) of the Loans of each Class Conduit and Bank Investor from time to time (the "Register").

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

(k) Disclosures in Connection with Assignments. Each assignor of a Loan or any interest therein may, in connection with the assignment or participation, disclose to the assignee or Participant any information relating to the Transferor and its Affiliates, including the Pool Receivables, furnished to such assignor by or on behalf of the Transferor and its Affiliates or by the Administrative Agent; provided that, prior to any such disclosure, the assignee or Participant agrees to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential information relating to the Transferor and its Affiliates received by it from any of the foregoing entities in a manner consistent with Section 13.05 and 13.06.
SECTION 13.04 No Proceedings; Limitation on Payments.
(a) Each of the Transferor, the Administrative Agent, the Collection Agent, each Class Agent and each Class Investor hereby covenants and agrees (and each other Person who acquires any interest in a Loan shall be deemed to have covenanted and agreed) with each Class Conduit and with each other that, until the date that is one (1) year plus one day after the Commercial Paper or other outstanding senior indebtedness of such Class Conduit have been paid in full, it will not institute or cause or participate in the institution of any Event of Bankruptcy against such Class Conduit.
(b) Each of the Collection Agent, each Class Agent (other than the Administrative Agent) and each Class Investor hereby covenants and agrees (and each other Person who acquires any interest in a Loan shall be deemed to have covenanted and agreed) with the Transferor and with each other that, until the date that is one (1) year plus one day after the Final Payout Date, it will not institute or cause or participate in the institution of any Event of Bankruptcy against the Transferor.

(c) Notwithstanding any provisions contained in this Agreement to the contrary, a Class Conduit shall not, and shall be under no obligation to, pay any amount, if any, payable by it pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document unless (i) such Class Conduit has received funds which may be used to make such payment and which funds are not required to repay such Class Conduit's Commercial Paper when due and (ii) after giving effect to such payment, either (x) such Class Conduit could issue Commercial Paper to refinance all of its outstanding Commercial Paper (assuming such outstanding Commercial Paper matured at such time) in accordance with the program documents governing such Class Conduit's securitization program or (y) all of such Class Conduit's Commercial Paper is paid in full. Any amount which any Class Conduit does not pay pursuant to the operation of the preceding sentence shall not constitute a claim (as defined in Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code) against or company obligation of such Class Conduit for any such insufficiency unless and until such Class Conduit satisfies the provisions of clauses (i) and (ii) above. Nothing in this Section 13.04 shall limit or subordinate the right of the Transferor to receive or make a claim for the remaining balance of any Collections in accordance with Section 3.01(b). The provisions of this Section 13.04 shall survive any assignment or termination of this Agreement.
SECTION 13.05 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality.
