(e)Selection, Designation and Reporting of Sold Receivables. The Seller (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall select and identify from the Pool Receivables all Sold Receivables to be sold pursuant to Section 2.01(b) in its sole discretion; provided, however, that
32
751200428 16518096

(i) the Seller shall ensure that each Sold Receivable is an Eligible Receivable on the date when first included as a Sold Receivable, (ii) the Seller shall select Sold Receivables from the Pool Receivables on an invoice-by-invoice basis, and the Seller shall transfer pursuant to Section 2.01(b) 100% of its interest in any invoice that reflects Sold Receivables, such that all Receivables reflected or evidenced by such an invoice shall be included as Sold Receivables, and (iii) the Seller shall not permit the aggregate Outstanding Balance of Sold Receivables to exceed the Aggregate Capital at any time. The Seller shall maintain (or cause the Servicer to maintain) books and records sufficient to readily identify the Sold Receivables. The Seller and Servicer shall cause all Sold Receivables to be identified on each Investment Request in accordance with Section 2.02(a) and on each Information Package delivered hereunder.
Section 1.06Making Investments; Return of Capital
(a). (a) Each Investment hereunder shall be made on at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written request from the Seller to the Administrative Agent and each Group Agent in the form of an Investment Request attached hereto as Exhibit A; provided, however, that with respect to any Investment occurring on or within three (3) Business Days of the Closing Date, such request may be delivered to the Administrative Agent and each Group Agent on the Closing Date. Each such request for an Investment shall be made no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on a Business Day (it being understood that any such request made after such time shall be deemed to have been made on the following Business Day) and shall specify (i) the amount of Capital requested which amount shall (x) not be less than $100,000 and shall be an integral multiple thereof and (y) not cause the aggregate Outstanding Balance of all Sold Receivables (after giving effect to the addition of Pool Receivables to the Sold Receivables in connection with such Investment) to exceed the Aggregate Capital, (ii) the allocation of such amount among the Groups (which shall be ratable based on the Group Commitments), (iii) the account to which the Capital of such Investment shall be distributed, (iv) the date such requested Investment is to be made (which shall be a Business Day) and (v) all Pool Receivables that are or, effective upon the making of such Investment, will be, Sold Receivables.
(b)On the date of each Investment specified in the applicable Investment Request, the Purchasers shall, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Article VI and pursuant to the other conditions set forth in this Article II, make available to the Seller in same day funds an aggregate amount equal to the amount of Capital requested, at the account set forth in the related Investment Request.
(c)Each Committed Purchaser’s obligation shall be several, such that the failure of any Committed Purchaser to make available to the Seller any funds in connection with any Investment shall not relieve any other Committed Purchaser of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make funds available on the date such Investments are requested (it being understood, that no Committed Purchaser shall be responsible for the failure of any other Committed Purchaser to make funds available to the Seller in connection with any Investment hereunder).
(d)The Seller shall return in full the outstanding Capital of each Purchaser on the Seller Obligation Final Due Date. Prior thereto, the Seller shall, on each Settlement Date, reduce the outstanding Capital of the Purchasers to the extent required under Section 4.01 and otherwise in accordance with such Section 4.01 (subject to the priorities for payment set forth therein) by paying the amount of such reduction to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Purchasers in accordance with Section 4.02. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller, in its discretion, shall have the right to reduce, in whole or in part by payment in accordance with Section 4.02, the outstanding Capital of the Purchasers on any Business Day upon one (1) Business Day’s prior written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and each Group Agent in the form of a Reduction Notice attached hereto as Exhibit E; provided, however, that (i) each such reduction shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of $100,000 and shall be an integral
33
751200428 16518096

multiple thereof and (ii) no such reduction shall reduce the Aggregate Capital to an amount less than the Minimum Funding Threshold; provided, however that notwithstanding the foregoing, (1) a reduction may be in an amount necessary to reduce any Capital Coverage Deficit existing at such time to zero, and (2) any accrued Yield and Fees in respect of the portion(s) of Capital so reduced shall be paid in full on the immediately following Settlement Date.
(e)The Seller may, at any time upon at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and each Group Agent, terminate the Facility Limit in whole or ratably reduce the Facility Limit in part. Each partial reduction in the Facility Limit shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, and no such partial reduction shall reduce the Facility Limit to an amount less than $100,000,000. In connection with any partial reduction in the Facility Limit, the Commitment of each Committed Purchaser shall be ratably reduced.
(f)In connection with any reduction of the Commitments, the Seller shall remit to the Administrative Agent (i) instructions regarding such reduction and (ii) for payment to the Purchasers, cash in an amount sufficient to pay (A) Capital of Purchasers in each Group in excess of the Group Commitment of such Group and (B) all other outstanding Seller Obligations with respect to such reduction (determined based on the ratio of the reduction of the Commitments being effected to the amount of the Commitments prior to such reduction or, if the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that any portion of the outstanding Seller Obligations is allocable solely to that portion of the Commitments being reduced or has arisen solely as a result of such reduction, all of such portion) including, without duplication, any associated Breakage Fees. Upon receipt of any such amounts, the Administrative Agent shall apply such amounts first to the reduction of the outstanding Capital, and second to the payment of the remaining outstanding Seller Obligations with respect to such reduction, including any Breakage Fees, by paying such amounts to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Purchasers.
(g)Provided that no Event of Termination, Non-Reinvestment Event, Unmatured Event of Termination or Unmatured Non-Reinvestment Event has occurred and is continuing, the Seller may from time to time advise the Administrative Agent and each Group Agent in writing of its desire to extend the Scheduled Termination Date for an additional one-year period; provided that such request is made not more than two hundred and ten (210) days prior to, and not less than sixty (60) days prior to, the then current Scheduled Termination Date. The Administrative Agent and each Committed Purchaser (or its Group Agent on its behalf) shall notify the Seller and the Administrative Agent in writing whether or not such Person is agreeable to such extension (it being understood that the Administrative Agent and the Committed Purchasers may accept or decline such a request in their sole discretion and on such terms as they may elect) not more than sixty (60) days after receiving the Seller’s request to extend the Scheduled Termination Date; provided, however, that if the Administrative Agent or any Committed Purchaser fails to so notify the Seller and the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent or such Committed Purchaser, as the case may be, shall be deemed to have declined such extension. In the event that the Administrative Agent and one or more Committed Purchasers have so notified the Seller and the Administrative Agent in writing that they are agreeable to such extension, the Seller, the Servicer, the Administrative Agent, the applicable Group Agents and the applicable Committed Purchasers shall enter into such documents as the Administrative Agent, the applicable Group Agents and the applicable Committed Purchasers may deem necessary or appropriate to effect such extension, and all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the applicable Group Agents and the applicable Committed Purchasers in connection therewith (including Attorney Costs) shall be paid by the Seller. In the event any Committed Purchaser declines such request to extend the Scheduled Termination Date or is deemed to have declined such extension, such Committed Purchaser shall be an “Exiting Purchaser” and such Committed Purchaser’s Group shall be an “Exiting Group” for all purposes of this Agreement.
34
751200428 16518096

Section 1.07Yield and Fees.
(a)On each Settlement Date, the Seller shall, in accordance with the terms and priorities for payment set forth in Section 4.01, pay to each Group Agent, each Purchaser, the Administrative Agent and the Structuring Agent certain fees (collectively, the “Fees”) in the amounts set forth in the fee letter agreements from time to time entered into, among the Seller, the members of the applicable Group (or their Group Agent on their behalf) and/or the Administrative Agent or the Structuring Agent (each such fee letter agreement, as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, collectively being referred to herein as the “Fee Letter”). Commitment Fees (as defined in the Fee Letter) shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of any Defaulting Purchaser as provided in Section 2.06.
(b)Each Purchaser’s Capital shall accrue Yield on each day when such Capital remains outstanding at the then applicable Yield Rate for such Capital (or each applicable portion thereof). The Seller shall pay all Yield, Fees and Breakage Fees accrued during each Yield Period on each Settlement Date in accordance with the terms and priorities for payment set forth in Section 4.01.
Section 1.08Records of Investments and Capital. Each Group Agent shall record in its records, the date and amount of each Investment made by the Purchasers in its Group hereunder, the Yield Rate with respect to the related Capital (and each portion thereof), the Yield accrued on such Purchasers’ Capital and each repayment and payment thereof. Subject to Section 14.03(c), such records shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error. The failure to so record any such information or any error in so recording any such information shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Seller hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents to repay the Capital of each Purchaser, together with all Yield accruing thereon and all other Seller Obligations.
Section 1.09Selection of Yield Rates. As of the Closing Date, each Purchaser has designated the type of Yield Rate for all Investments (other than CP Rate Capital) made by such Purchaser as one of (i) the Term SOFR Rate or (ii) Daily 1M SOFR (each, a “Purchaser Designated Reference Rate”). Each Purchaser may from time to time after the Closing Date, elect to change or continue the Purchaser Designated Reference Rate borne by each Investment made by such Purchaser by notice to the Seller not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time), one (1) Business Day prior to the beginning of any Yield Period. As of July 29, 2022: (a) Daily 1M SOFR is the Purchaser Designated Reference Rate for each Purchaser in the Group for which PNC Bank, National Association is the Group Agent, for each Purchaser in the Group for which The Bank of Nova Scotia is the Group Agent and for each Purchaser in the Group for which The Toronto Dominion Bank is the Group Agent and (b) Term SOFR Rate is the Purchaser Designated Reference Rate for each Purchaser in the Group for which ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo Bank, National Association is the Group Agent, for each Purchaser in the Group for which Mizuho Bank, Ltd. is the Group Agent and for each Purchaser in the Group for which MUFG Bank, Ltd. is the Group Agent.
Section 1.10Defaulting Purchasers and Exiting Purchasers. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Purchaser becomes a Defaulting Purchaser or an Exiting Purchaser, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Purchaser is a Defaulting Purchaser or an Exiting Purchaser; provided, however, that only clause (d) below shall apply to an Exiting Purchaser that is not also a Defaulting Purchaser:
(a)Commitment Fees (as defined in the Fee Letter) shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Purchaser.
35
751200428 16518096

(b)The Commitment and Capital of such Defaulting Purchaser shall not be included in determining whether the Majority Group Agents have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 14.01); provided, that, except as otherwise provided in Section 14.01, this clause (b) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Purchaser in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of such Purchaser or each Purchaser directly affected thereby (if such Purchaser is directly affected thereby).
(c)In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Seller and the Servicer each agrees in writing that a Defaulting Purchaser has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Purchaser to be a Defaulting Purchaser, then on such date such Purchaser shall purchase at par such of the Investments of the other Purchaser as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Purchaser to hold such Investments in accordance with its ratable share; provided, that no adjustments shall be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Seller while such Purchaser was a Defaulting Purchaser, and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Purchaser to Purchaser that is not a Defaulting Purchaser will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ having been a Defaulting Purchaser.
(d)At any time there is more than one Purchaser, the Seller shall be permitted to replace any Purchaser that becomes a Defaulting Purchaser or an Exiting Purchaser; provided, however, that the Seller shall be permitted to replace any Purchaser which is the Administrative Agent or an Affiliate thereof only if, in either case, the Administrative Agent is also replaced contemporaneously, pursuant to documents reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent has received payment of an amount equal to all amounts payable to the Administrative Agent hereunder and under each of the other Transaction Document; provided further that (i) such replaced Purchaser shall have received payment of an amount equal to the aggregate outstanding Capital of such Purchaser, accrued Yield thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents (including any amounts under Section 5.02) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding Capital and accrued Yield and fees, excluding Breakage Fees) or the Seller (in the case of all other amounts, including Breakage Fees), (ii) the replacement financial institution shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, and (iii) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Seller, the Administrative Agent or any other Purchaser shall have against the replaced Purchaser.
Section 1.11Increase in Facility Limit. Provided that no Event of Termination, Non-Reinvestment Event, Unmatured Event of Termination or Unmatured Non-Reinvestment Event has occurred and is continuing, upon notice to the Administrative Agent and each Group Agent, the Seller may request on a one-time basis that each of the Committed Purchasers ratably increase their respective Commitments, in an aggregate amount such that after giving effect thereto the Facility Limit shall not exceed $1,000,000,000; provided, that such request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount of $50,000,000. At the time of sending such notice with respect to the Committed Purchasers, the Seller (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall specify (i) the aggregate amount of such increase (such amount, the “Requested Facility Limit Increase”) and (ii) the time period within which the Committed Purchasers are requested to respond to the Seller’s request (which shall in no event be less than thirty (30) days from the date of delivery of such notice to the Administrative Agent). Each of the Committed Purchasers shall notify the Administrative Agent, the Seller and the Servicer within the applicable time period (which shall not be less than thirty (30) days) whether or not such Committed Purchaser agrees, in its sole discretion, to make such ratable increase to such Committed Purchaser’s Commitment or otherwise agrees to any lesser increase in its Commitment. Any Committed Purchaser not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to consent to an increase in such Committed Purchaser’s Commitment. In the event that one or more Committed Purchasers
36
751200428 16518096

fails to consent to all or any portion of any such request for an increase in its Commitment, the Seller may (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) request that any unaccepted portion of the requested increases in Commitments be allocated to one or more willing Committed Purchaser as agreed in writing among the Seller, the Administrative Agent (and if such willing Committed Purchaser is not then a party to the Agreement, the Majority Group Agents) and such willing Committed Purchasers (in each case, in their sole discretion), such that such Committed Purchasers increase in their Commitment exceeds such Committed Purchaser’s ratable share. Any such Committed Purchaser may agree, in its sole discretion, to such increase in its Commitment. If the Commitment of any Committed Purchaser is increased in accordance with this Section 2.07, the Administrative Agent, the Group Agents, the Committed Purchaser, the Seller and the Servicer shall determine the effective date with respect to such increase and shall enter into such documents as agreed to by such parties to document such increase and, if applicable, rebalance Capital among the Purchasers such that after giving effect thereto, the aggregate outstanding Capital of the Purchasers in each Group is distributed ratably among the Groups.


NON-REINVESTMENT EVENTS
Section 1.12Non-Reinvestment Events. If any of the following events (each a “Non-Reinvestment Event”) shall occur:
(a)as of the end of any Fiscal Month, the average for three consecutive Fiscal Months of: (A) the Default Ratio shall exceed 4.00%, (B) the Delinquency Ratio shall exceed 18.0016.00% or (C) the Dilution Ratio shall exceed 14.0012.00%;
(b)as of the end of any Fiscal Month, the Days’ Sales Outstanding shall exceed 70 days; or
(c)the occurrence of a Ratings Event;
then, and in any such event, the Administrative Agent may (or, at the direction of the Majority Group Agents shall) by notice to the Seller declare the Termination Date to have occurred (in which case the Termination Date shall be deemed to have occurred).


SETTLEMENT PROCEDURES AND PAYMENT PROVISIONS
Section 1.13Settlement Procedures.
(a)The Servicer shall hold in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties (or, if so requested by the Administrative Agent during the continuance of an Event of Termination or a Non-Reinvestment Event, segregate in a separate account designated by the Administrative Agent, which shall be an account maintained and controlled by the Administrative Agent unless the Administrative Agent otherwise instructs in its sole discretion), for application in accordance with the priority of payments set forth below, all Collections on Pool Receivables that are received by the Servicer or the Seller or received in any Blocked Account, Lock-Box or Collection Account; provided, however, that so long as each of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 6.03 are satisfied on such date, the Servicer may release to the Seller from such Collections received on Unsold Receivables the amount (if any) necessary to pay (x) the purchase price for Receivables purchased by the Seller on such date in accordance with the terms of the Purchase and Sale Agreement or (y) amounts owing by the Seller to the Originators under the Subordinated Notes (each such release, a “Release”). On each Settlement Date, the Servicer
37
751200428 16518096

(or, following its assumption of control of the Blocked Account, the Administrative Agent) shall, distribute such Collections in the following order of priority:
(i)first, prior to the occurrence of the Termination Date, to the Servicer for the payment of the accrued Servicing Fees payable for the immediately preceding Yield Period (plus, if applicable, the amount of Servicing Fees payable for any prior Yield Period to the extent such amount has not been distributed to the Servicer);
(ii)second, to the Administrative Agent for distribution to each Group Agent ratably according to the aggregate outstanding Capital of each Purchaser in each such Group Agent’s Group (for the benefit of the relevant Purchasers in such Group Agent’s Group), all accrued and unpaid Yield, Fees and Breakage Fees due to such Purchaser and other Purchaser Party for the immediately preceding Yield Period (including any additional amounts or indemnified amounts payable under Sections 5.03 and 13.01 in respect of such payments), plus, if applicable, the amount of any such Yield, Fees and Breakage Fees (including any additional amounts or indemnified amounts payable under Sections 5.03 and 13.01 in respect of such payments) payable for any prior Yield Period to the extent such amount has not been distributed to such Purchaser or Purchaser Party;
(iii)third, as set forth in clause (x), (y) or (z) below, as applicable:
(x)    prior to the occurrence of the Termination Date, to the extent that a Capital Coverage Deficit exists on such date, to the Administrative Agent for distribution to each Group Agent ratably according to the aggregate outstanding Capital of each Purchaser in each such Group Agent’s Group (for the benefit of the relevant Purchasers in such Group Agent’s Group) for the return of a portion of the outstanding Aggregate Capital at such time, in an aggregate amount equal to the amount necessary to reduce the Capital Coverage Deficit to zero ($0);
(y)    on and after the occurrence of the Termination Date, to the Administrative Agent for distribution to each Group Agent ratably according to the aggregate outstanding Capital of each Purchaser in each such Group Agent’s Group (for the benefit of the relevant Purchasers in such Group Agent’s Group) for the return in full of the aggregate outstanding Capital of such Purchaser at such time; or
(z)    prior to the occurrence of the Termination Date, at the election of the Seller and in accordance with Section 2.02(d), to the Administrative Agent for distribution to each Group Agent ratably according to the aggregate outstanding Capital of each Purchaser in each such Group Agent’s Group (for the benefit of the relevant Purchasers in such Group Agent’s Group) for the return of all or any portion of the outstanding Capital of the Purchasers at such time;
(iv)fourth, to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the Purchaser Parties that are then members of an Exiting Group (ratably, based on the amount due and owing at such time), for the payment of all other Seller Obligations then due and owing by the Seller to such Purchaser Parties;
(v)fifth, to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the Purchaser Parties, the Affected Persons and the Seller Indemnified Parties (ratably, based on the amount due and owing at such time), for the payment of all other Seller Obligations then
38
751200428 16518096

due and owing by the Seller to the Purchaser Parties, the Affected Persons and the Seller Indemnified Parties;
(vi)sixth, at any time after the occurrence of the Termination Date, to the Servicer for the payment of the accrued Servicing Fees payable for the immediately preceding Yield Period (plus, if applicable, the amount of Servicing Fees payable for any prior Yield Period to the extent such amount has not been distributed to the Servicer) to the extent not paid pursuant to clause (i); and
(vii)seventh, the balance, if any, to be paid to the Seller for its own account.
Amounts payable pursuant to clauses (i) through (vi) above shall be paid first from available Collections on Sold Receivables and other Sold Assets, and second, to the extent necessary in order to make all such payments in full, from Collections on Unsold Receivables and other Seller Collateral. The Seller’s right to receive payments (if any) from time to time pursuant to clause (vii) above shall, to the extent arising from Collections on Sold Receivables, constitute compensation to the Seller for the Seller’s provision of the Seller Guaranty and the Purchaser Parties’ interests in the Seller Collateral.
(b)All payments or distributions to be made by the Servicer, the Seller and any other Person to the Purchasers (or their respective related Affected Persons and the Seller Indemnified Parties), shall be paid or distributed to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the applicable Group Agent on behalf of the Purchasers in such Group Agent’s Group. Each Group Agent, upon its receipt of any such payments or distributions, shall distribute such amounts to the applicable Purchasers, Affected Persons and the Seller Indemnified Parties within its Group ratably; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall have received insufficient funds to pay all of the above amounts in full on any such date, the Administrative Agent shall pay each Group Agent ratably according to the aggregate outstanding Capital of each Purchaser in each such Group Agent’s Group, and each Group Agent shall pay such amounts to the applicable Purchasers, Affected Persons and the Seller Indemnified Parties within its Group in accordance with the priority of payments forth above, and with respect to any such category above for which there are insufficient funds to pay all amounts owing on such date, ratably (based on the amounts in such categories owing to each such Person in such Group) among all such Persons in such Group entitled to payment thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 4.01, the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to distribute or pay any amount under this Section 4.01 except to the extent actually received by the Administrative Agent. Additionally, each Group Agent hereby covenants and agrees to provide timely and accurate responses to each of the Administrative Agent’s requests for information necessary for the Administrative Agent to make the allocations to the Group Agents required to be made by the Administrative Agent hereunder, including the applicable account of each Group Agent for which amounts should be distributed.
(c)If and to the extent the Administrative Agent, any Purchaser Party, any Affected Person or any Seller Indemnified Party shall be required for any reason to pay over to any Person (including any Obligor or any trustee, receiver, custodian or similar official in any Insolvency Proceeding) any amount received on its behalf hereunder, such amount shall be deemed not to have been so received but rather to have been retained by the Seller and, accordingly, the Administrative Agent, such Purchaser Party, such Affected Person or such Seller Indemnified Party, as the case may be, shall have a claim against the Seller for such amount.
(d)For the purposes of this Section 4.01:
39
751200428 16518096

(i)if on any day the Outstanding Balance of any Pool Receivable is reduced or adjusted as a result of any Returned Goods, defective or rejected services, or any revision, cancellation, allowance, rebate, credit memo, discount or other adjustment made by the Seller, any Originator, the Servicer or any Affiliate of the Servicer, or any setoff, counterclaim or dispute between the Seller or any Affiliate of the Seller, an Originator or any Affiliate of an Originator, or the Servicer or any Affiliate of the Servicer, and an Obligor, the Seller shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection of such Pool Receivable in the amount of such reduction or adjustment and shall pay on the next Monthly Settlement Date (or after the occurrence of an Event of Termination or a Non-Reinvestment Event that remains continuing, within one (1) Business Day from the event giving rise to such Deemed Collection) the amount of such reduction or adjustment any and all such amounts in respect thereof to a Blocked Account (or as otherwise directed by the Administrative Agent at such time) for the benefit of the Purchaser Parties for application pursuant to Section 4.01(a);
(ii)if on any day any of the representations or warranties in Section 7.01 is not true with respect to any Pool Receivable, the Seller shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection of such Pool Receivable in the amount of the full Outstanding Balance thereof and shall pay on the next Monthly Settlement Date (or after the occurrence of an Event of Termination or a Non-Reinvestment Event that remains continuing, within one (1) Business Day from the event giving rise to such Deemed Collection) the amount of such deemed Collection to a Blocked Account (or as otherwise directed by the Administrative Agent at such time) for the benefit of the Purchaser Parties for application pursuant to Section 4.01(a) (Collections deemed to have been received pursuant to Section 4.01(d) are hereinafter sometimes referred to as “Deemed Collections”); and
(iii)except as provided in clauses (i) or (ii) above or otherwise required by Applicable Law or the relevant Contract, all Collections received from an Obligor of any Receivable shall be applied to the Receivables of such Obligor in the order of the age of such Receivables, starting with the oldest such Receivable, unless such Obligor designates in writing its payment for application to specific Receivables.
Section 1.14Payments and Computations, Etc
(a). (a) All amounts to be paid by the Seller or the Servicer to the Administrative Agent, any Purchaser Party, any Affected Person or any Seller Indemnified Party hereunder shall be paid no later than noon (New York City time) on the day when due in same day funds to the account so designated by the Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Seller prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Purchasers hereunder that the Seller (or the Servicer on its behalf) will not make such payment (including because Collections are not available therefor), the Administrative Agent may assume that the Seller has made or will make such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Group Agents the amount due. In such event, if the Seller (or the Servicer on its behalf) has not in fact made such payment, then each Group Agent severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Group Agent, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of Overnight Bank Funding Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.
(b)Each of the Seller and the Servicer shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, pay interest on any amount not paid or deposited by it when due hereunder, at an interest rate per annum equal to 2.00% per annum above the Base Rate, payable on demand.
40
751200428 16518096

(c)All computations of interest under subsection (b) above and all computations of Yield, Fees and other amounts hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days (or, in the case of amounts determined by reference to the Base Rate, 365 or 366 days, as applicable) for the actual number of days (including the first but excluding the last day) elapsed. Whenever any payment or deposit to be made hereunder shall be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment or deposit shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of such payment or deposit.
(d)On or before the second (2nd) Business Day prior to each Settlement Date, each Group Agent shall notify the Servicer of (i) the amount of Yield accrued in respect to each related Yield Period for the Purchasers in each Group for the Receivable Pool during such Yield Period and (ii) all Fees and other amounts accrued and payable or to be paid by the Seller under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents on the related Settlement Date.

(a)Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Seller under any Transaction Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of the applicable Purchaser Party, Affected Person or Seller Indemnified Party) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment to a Purchaser Party, Affected Person or Seller Indemnified Party, then the applicable Purchaser Party, Affected Person or Seller Indemnified Party shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Seller shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section), the applicable Purchaser Party, Affected Person or Seller Indemnified Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
(b)Payment of Other Taxes by the Seller. The Seller shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or, at the option of the Administrative Agent, timely reimburse Administrative Agent for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

Promptly upon having knowledge that any such Indemnified Taxes have been levied, imposed or assessed, and promptly upon notice by the Administrative Agent or any Affected Person (or its related Group Agent), the Seller shall pay such Indemnified Taxes directly to the relevant taxing authority or Governmental Authority; provided that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Affected Person shall be under any obligation to provide any such notice to the Seller. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Seller by an Affected Person (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of an Affected Person, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(d)Indemnification by the Purchasers. Each Purchaser (other than the Conduit Purchasers) shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Purchaser, its Related Conduit Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates that are Affected Persons (but only to the extent that the Seller and its Affiliates have not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting any obligation of the Seller, the Servicer or their Affiliates to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to the failure of such Purchaser, its Related Conduit Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates that are Affected Persons to comply with Section 14.03(f) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Purchaser, its Related Conduit Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates that are 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
43
751200428 16518096

asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Purchaser (or its Group Agent) by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Purchaser (other than the Conduit Purchasers) hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Purchaser, its Related Conduit Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates that are Affected Persons under any Transaction Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to such Purchaser, its Related Conduit Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates that are Affected Persons from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this clause (d).
(e)Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Seller to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 5.03, the Seller shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(f)Status of Affected Persons. (i) Any Affected Person that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Transaction Document shall deliver to the Seller and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Seller or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Seller or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Affected Person, if reasonably requested by the Seller or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Seller or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Seller or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Affected Person is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.

(C)any Affected Person that is not a U.S. Person shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Seller and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient), from time to time upon the reasonable request of the Seller or the Administrative Agent, executed originals of any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the Seller or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.
(g)Documentation Required by ▇▇▇▇▇. If a payment made to 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 the Seller and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Seller or the Administrative 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 the Seller or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Seller and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under
45
751200428 16518096

FATCA and to determine that such Affected Person has complied with such Affected Person’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (g), “FATCA” shall include any 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)Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 5.03 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Purchaser Party or any other Affected Person, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the Seller Obligations and the Servicer’s obligations hereunder.
(i)Updates. Each Affected Person agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to this Section 5.03 expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Seller and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(j)Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party 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 5.03 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 5.03), 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 Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 5.03(j) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.03(j), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 5.03(j) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party 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.
Section 1.18Daily 1M SOFR or Term SOFR Rate Unascertainable; Increased Costs; Illegality.
(a)Unascertainable; Increased Costs. If, on or prior to the first day of an Yield Period:
(i)the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that Daily 1M SOFR or the Term SOFR Rate cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof; or
(ii)any Group Agent determines that for any reason that Daily 1M SOFR or the Term SOFR Rate for any requested Yield Period does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to any such Purchaser in such Group Agent’s Group of funding such Purchaser’s Investments, and such Group Agent has provided notice of such determination to the Administrative Agent;
46
751200428 16518096

then the Administrative Agent shall have the rights specified in Section 5.04(c).
(b)Illegality. If at any time any Group Agent shall have determined that the making, maintenance or funding of any Investment (or Portion of Capital thereof) accruing yield by reference to Daily 1M SOFR or the Term SOFR Rate has been made unlawful, by compliance by such Group Agent in good faith with any Law or any interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority or with any request or directive of any such Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of Law), then the Administrative Agent shall have the rights specified in Section 5.04(c).
(c)Administrative Agent’s and Group Agent’s Rights. In the case of any event specified in Section 5.04(a), the Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the Group Agents and the Seller thereof, and in the case of an event specified in Section 5.04(b), such Group Agent shall promptly so notify the Administrative Agent and endorse a certificate to such notice as to the specific circumstances of such notice, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly send copies of such notice and certificate to the other Group Agents and the Seller.
Upon such date as shall be specified in such notice (which shall not be earlier than the date such notice is given), the obligation of (i) the Group Agents, in the case of such notice given by the Administrative Agent, or (ii) such Group Agent, in the case of such notice given by such Group Agent, to allow the Seller to select, convert to or renew any Investment (or Portion of Capital thereof) accruing yield by reference to Daily 1M SOFR or the Term SOFR Rate shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Yield Rate or the applicable Yield Period) until the Administrative Agent shall have later notified the Seller, or such Group Agent shall have later notified the Administrative Agent, of the Administrative Agent’s or such Group Agent’s, as the case may be, determination that the circumstances giving rise to such previous determination no longer exist.
If at any time the Administrative Agent makes a determination under Section 5.04(a), (A) if the Seller has delivered an Investment Request for an affected Investment (or Portion of Capital thereof) that has not yet been made, such Investment Request shall be deemed to request an Investment accruing yield at the Base Rate, and (B) any outstanding affected Investments (or Portions of Capital thereof) shall be deemed to have been converted into Investments (or Portions of Capital thereof) accruing yield at the Base Rate at the end of the applicable Yield Period.
Section 1.19Back-Up Security Interest.
(a)If, notwithstanding the intent of the parties stated in Section 2.01(c), the sale, assignment and transfer of any Sold Assets to the Administrative Agent (for the ratable benefit of the Purchasers) hereunder (including pursuant to Section 2.01(b)) is not treated as a sale for all purposes (except as provided in Sections 2.01(d) and 14.14), then such sale, assignment and transfer of such Sold Assets shall be treated as the grant of a security interest by the Seller to the Administrative Agent (for the ratable benefit of the Purchasers) to secure the payment and performance of all the Seller’s obligations to the Administrative Agent, the Purchasers and the other Secured Parties hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents (including all Seller Obligations). Therefore, as security for the performance by the Seller of all the terms, covenants and agreements on the part of the Seller to be performed under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, including the punctual payment when due of the Aggregate Capital and all Yield and all other Seller Obligations, the Seller hereby grants to the Administrative Agent for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, a continuing security interest in, all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under all of the Sold Assets, whether now or hereafter owned, existing or arising.
47
751200428 16518096

(b)The Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) shall have, with respect to all the Sold Assets, and in addition to all the other rights and remedies available to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties), all the rights and remedies of a secured party under any applicable UCC. The Seller hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to file financing statements describing the collateral covered thereby as “all of the debtor’s personal property or assets” or words to that effect, notwithstanding that such wording may be broader in scope than the collateral described in this Agreement.
(c)For the avoidance of doubt, (i) the grant of security interest pursuant to this Section 5.05 shall be in addition to, and shall not be construed to limit or modify, the sale of Sold Assets pursuant to Section 2.01(b) or the Seller’s grant of security interest pursuant to Section 15.09, (ii) nothing in Section 2.01 shall be construed as limiting the rights, interests (including any security interest), obligations or liabilities of any party under this Section 5.05, and (iii) subject to the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), this Section 5.05 shall not be construed to contradict the intentions of the parties set forth in Section 2.01(c).

(b)Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent may make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

The Administrative Agent will notify the Seller of (x) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (d) below and (y) the commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period.

Upon the Seller’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Seller may revoke any pending request for an Investment (or Portion of Capital thereof) accruing yield based on Daily 1M SOFR or the Term SOFR Rate, conversion to or continuation of Investments (or Portions of Capital thereof) accruing yield based on Daily 1M SOFR or the Term SOFR Rate to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Seller will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for an Investment accruing yield at the Base Rate. During a Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the Base Rate.

If any payments on the Pool Receivables or other Collections are received by the Seller, the Servicer or an Originator, it shall hold such payments in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Group Agents and the other Secured Parties and promptly (but in any event within three (3) Business Days after receipt) remit such funds into a Blocked Account. The Servicer shall enforce its rights under each applicable Blocked Account Agreement. Following the occurrence of an Event of Termination or Non-Reinvestment Event, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, the Servicer shall cause the Administrative Agent to receive read-only access to each Collection Account or, if read-only access is not available for any Collection Account, daily account statements with respect to such Collection Account. The Servicer shall not permit funds other than Collections on Pool Receivables and other Sold Assets and Seller Collateral to be deposited into any Blocked Account. If such funds are nevertheless deposited into any Blocked Account, the Servicer will within three (3) Business Days identify and transfer such funds to the appropriate Person entitled to such funds. The Servicer shall only add a Collection Account (or a related Lock-Box), a Collection Account Bank, Blocked Account or Blocked Account Bank to those listed on Schedule II-A or Schedule II-B to this Agreement, if the Administrative Agent has received notice of such addition and, with respect to a Blocked Account, an executed and acknowledged copy of an Account Control Agreement (or an amendment thereto) in form and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent from the applicable Blocked Account Bank. The Servicer shall only terminate an Account Control Agreement or close a Collection Account (or a related Lock-Box) or Blocked Account with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.
(ii)The Servicer shall not (and shall not permit any Sub-Servicer to) add, replace or terminate any Collection Account (or any related Lock-Box) or Blocked Account or make any change in its instructions to the Obligors regarding payments to be made to the Collection Accounts (or any related Lock-Box) or Blocked Account, other than any instruction to remit payments to a Collection Account (or any related Lock-Box) or Blocked Account, unless the Administrative Agent shall have received (i) prior written notice of such addition, termination or change and (ii) with respect to a Blocked Account, a signed and acknowledged Account Control Agreement (or an amendment thereto) with respect to such new Blocked Accounts (or any related Lock-Box) and the Administrative Agent shall have consented to such change in writing; provided, that upon the Administrative Agent’s consent, Schedule II-A or Schedule II-B, as applicable, shall be deemed to be amended to include such new Collection Account, Lock-Box Account or Blocked Account.
(iii)The Servicer shall ensure that no more than 5.00% of all funds deposited to the Collection Accounts (in the aggregate) during any Fiscal Month constitute funds other than Collections.
(g)Extension or Amendment of Pool Receivables. Except as otherwise permitted in Section 9.02, the Servicer will not alter the delinquency status or adjust the Outstanding Balance or otherwise modify the terms of any Pool Receivable in any material respect, or amend, modify or waive, in any material respect, any term or condition of any related Contract. The Servicer shall at its expense comply in all material respects with the Credit and Collection Policy with regard to each Pool Receivable and the related Contract.
(h)Change in Credit and Collection Policy. Except as required by Applicable Law, the Servicer will not make any change in the Credit and Collection Policy that could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the value, validity, collectability or enforceability of the Receivables or decrease the credit quality of any newly created Receivables (in each case,
72
751200428 16518096

taken as a whole) without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Majority Group Agents. Promptly following any change in the Credit and Collection Policy, the Servicer will deliver a copy of the updated Credit and Collection Policy to the Administrative Agent.
(i)Records. The Servicer will maintain and implement administrative and operating procedures (including an ability to recreate records evidencing Pool Receivables and related Contracts in the event of the destruction of the originals thereof), and keep and maintain all documents, books, records, computer tapes and disks and other information reasonably necessary or advisable for the collection of all Pool Receivables (including records adequate to permit the daily identification of each Pool Receivable and all Collections of and adjustments to each existing Pool Receivable).
(j)Identifying of Records. The Servicer shall identify its master data processing records relating to Pool Receivables and related Contracts with a legend that indicates that the Pool Receivables have been sold in accordance with this Agreement.
(k)Ownership Interest, Further Assurances, etc. The Servicer shall, at its expense, take all action necessary or reasonably desirable to establish and maintain a valid and enforceable ownership or security interest in the Sold Assets and Seller Collateral, and first priority perfected security interest in the Sold Assets and Seller Collateral, in each case free and clear of any Adverse Claim (other than Permitted Adverse Claims) in favor of the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Secured Parties), including taking such action to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the security interest of the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Secured Parties) as the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party may reasonably request. In order to evidence the security interests of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, the Servicer shall, from time to time take such action, or execute and deliver such instruments as may be necessary (including, without limitation, such actions as are reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent) to maintain and perfect, as a first-priority interest, the Administrative Agent’s security interest in the Receivables, Related Security and Collections (subject to Permitted Adverse Claims). The Servicer shall, from time to time and within the time limits established by law, prepare and present to the Administrative Agent for the Administrative Agent’s authorization and approval, all financing statements, amendments, continuations or initial financing statements in lieu of a continuation statement, or other filings necessary to continue, maintain and perfect the Administrative Agent’s security interest as a first-priority interest (subject to Permitted Adverse Claims). The Administrative Agent’s approval of such filings shall authorize the Servicer to file such financing statements under the UCC without the signature of the Seller, any Originator or the Administrative Agent where allowed by Applicable Law. Notwithstanding anything else in the Transaction Documents to the contrary, the Servicer shall not have any authority to file a termination, partial termination, release, partial release, or any amendment that deletes the name of a debtor or excludes collateral of any such financing statements filed in connection with the Transaction Documents, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.
(l)Transaction Information. None of the Servicer, any Affiliate of the Servicer or any third party contracted by the Servicer or any Affiliate thereof, shall deliver, in writing or orally, to any Rating Agency, any Transaction Information without providing such Transaction Information to the applicable Group Agent prior to delivery to such Rating Agency, and will not participate in any oral communications with respect to Transaction Information with any Rating Agency without the participation of such Group Agent.
(m)Seller’s Tax Status. The Servicer shall not take or cause any action to be taken that could result in the Seller (i) being treated other than as a “disregarded entity” within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulation § 301.7701-3 for U.S. federal income tax purposes that is disregarded as separate from a United States person (within the meaning of Section
73
751200428 16518096

7701(a)(30) of the Code) or (ii) becoming an association taxable as a corporation or a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
(n)Credit Risk Retention. The Servicer shall, and shall cause each Originator to, cooperate with each Purchaser Party (including by providing such information and entering into or delivering such additional agreements or documents reasonably requested by such Purchaser Party) to the extent reasonably necessary to assure such Purchaser Party that the Originators retain credit risk in the amount and manner required by the Credit Risk Retention Rules and to permit such Purchaser Party to perform its due diligence and monitoring obligations (if any) under the Credit Risk Retention Rules.
(o)Collection Accounts. The Servicer shall cause each Originator to maintain each Collection Account and Lock-Box in the name of the applicable Originator identified on Schedule II-A, and ensure that such Originator owns and has good and marketable title to the applicable Collection Account or Lock-Box free and clear of any Adverse Claim (other than Permitted Adverse Claims).
(p)[Reserved].
Section 1.08Separate Existence of the Seller. Each of the Seller and the Servicer hereby acknowledges that the Secured Parties, the Group Agents and the Administrative Agent are entering into the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents in reliance upon the Seller’s identity as a legal entity separate from any Originator, the Servicer, the Performance Guarantor and their Affiliates. Therefore, each of the Seller and Servicer shall take all steps specifically required by this Agreement or reasonably required by the Administrative Agent or any Group Agent to continue the Seller’s identity as a separate legal entity and to make it apparent to third Persons that the Seller is an entity with assets and liabilities distinct from those of the Performance Guarantor, the Originators, the Servicer and any other Person, and is not a division of the Performance Guarantor, the Originators, the Servicer, its Affiliates or any other Person. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and in addition to and consistent with the other covenants set forth herein, each of the Seller and the Servicer shall take such actions as shall be required in order that:
(a)Special Purpose Entity. The Seller will be a special purpose company whose primary activities are restricted in its Limited Liability Company Agreement to: (i) purchasing or otherwise acquiring from the Originators, owning, holding, collecting, granting security interests or selling interests in the Sold Assets and the Seller Collateral, (ii) entering into agreements for the selling, servicing and financing of the Receivables Pool (including the Transaction Documents) and (iii) conducting such other activities as it deems necessary or appropriate to carry out its primary activities.

(c)Independent Director. Not fewer than one member of the Seller’s board of directors (the “Independent Director”) shall be a natural person who (A) for the five year period prior to his or her appointment as an Independent Director, has not been, and during the continuation of his or her service as an Independent Director is not (i) an equityholder, director, officer, manager, member, partner, officer, employee or associate, or any relative of the foregoing, of any member of the Parent Group (as hereinafter defined) (other than his or her service as an Independent Director of the Seller or an independent director of any other bankruptcy-remote special purpose entity of any member or members of the Parent Group), (ii) a customer or supplier of any member of the Parent Group (other than his or her service as an Independent Director of the Seller or an independent director of any other bankruptcy-remote
74
751200428 16518096

special purpose entity formed for the sole purpose of securitizing, or facilitating the securitization of, financial assets of any member or members of the Parent Group), (iii) any member of the immediate family of a person described in (i) or (ii) above, and (B) has (x) prior experience as an independent director for a corporation or limited liability company whose organizational or charter documents required the unanimous consent of all independent directors thereof before such corporation or limited liability company could consent to the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against it or could file a petition seeking relief under any applicable federal or state law relating to bankruptcy and (y) at least three years of employment experience with one or more entities that provide, in the ordinary course of their respective businesses, advisory, management or placement services to issuers of securitization or structured finance instruments, agreements or securities. For purposes of this clause (c), “Parent Group” shall mean (i) the Parent, the Servicer, the Performance Guarantor and each Originator, (ii) each person that directly or indirectly, owns or controls, whether beneficially, or as a trustee, guardian or other fiduciary, five percent (5%) or more of the membership interests in the Parent, (iii) each person that controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the Parent and (iv) each of such person’s officers, directors, managers, joint venturers and partners. For the purposes of this definition, “control” of a person means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of a person or entity, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise. A person shall be deemed to be an “associate” of (A) a corporation or organization of which such person is an officer, director, partner or manager or is, directly or indirectly, the beneficial owner of ten percent (10%) or more of any class of equity securities, (B) any trust or other estate in which such person serves as trustee or in a similar capacity and (C) any relative or spouse of a person described in clause (A) or (B) of this sentence, or any relative of such spouse.
The Seller shall (A) give written notice to the Administrative Agent of the election or appointment, or proposed election or appointment, of a new Independent Director of the Seller, which notice shall be given not later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the date such appointment or election would be effective (except when such election or appointment is necessary to fill a vacancy caused by the death, disability, or incapacity of the existing Independent Director, or the failure of such Independent Director to satisfy the criteria for an Independent Director set forth in this clause (c), in which case the Seller shall provide written notice of such election or appointment within one (1) Business Day) and (B) with any such written notice, certify to the Administrative Agent that the Independent Director satisfies the criteria for an Independent Director set forth in this clause (c).
The Seller’s Limited Liability Company Agreement shall provide that: (A) the Seller’s board of directors shall not approve, or take any other action to cause the filing of, a voluntary bankruptcy petition with respect to the Seller unless the Independent Director shall approve the taking of such action in writing before the taking of such action and (B) such provision and each other provision requiring an Independent Director cannot be amended without the prior written consent of the Independent Director.
The Independent Director shall not at any time serve as a trustee in bankruptcy for the Seller, the Parent, the Performance Guarantor, any Originator, the Servicer or any of their respective Affiliates.

(f)Compensation. Any employee, consultant or agent of the Seller will be compensated from the Seller’s funds for services provided to the Seller, and to the extent that Seller shares the same officers or other employees as the Servicer (or any other Affiliate thereof), the salaries and expenses relating to providing benefits to such officers and other employees shall be fairly allocated among such entities, and each such entity shall bear its fair share of the salary and benefit costs associated with such common officers and employees. The Seller will not engage any agents other than its attorneys, auditors and other professionals, and a Servicer and any other agent contemplated by the Transaction Documents for the Receivables Pool, which Servicer will be fully compensated for its services by payment of the Servicing Fee.
(g)Servicing and Costs. The Seller will contract with the Servicer to perform for the Seller all operations required on a daily basis to service the Receivables Pool. The Seller will not incur any indirect or overhead expenses for items shared with the Servicer (or any other Affiliate thereof) that are not reflected in the Servicing Fee. To the extent, if any, that the Seller (or any Affiliate thereof) shares items of expenses not reflected in the Servicing Fee, such as legal, auditing and other professional services, such expenses will be allocated to the extent practical on the basis of actual use or the value of services rendered, and otherwise on a basis reasonably related to the actual use or the value of services rendered.

(j)Books and Records. The Seller’s books and records will be maintained separately from those of the Servicer, the Parent, the Performance Guarantor, the Originators and any of their Affiliates and in a manner such that it will not be difficult or costly to segregate, ascertain or otherwise identify the assets and liabilities of the Seller.
(k)Disclosure of Transactions. All financial statements of the Servicer, the Parent, the Performance Guarantor, the Originators or any Affiliate thereof that are consolidated to include the Seller will disclose that (i) the Seller’s sole business consists of the purchase or acceptance through capital contributions of the Receivables and Related Rights from the Originators and the subsequent retransfer of or granting of a security interest in such Receivables and Related Rights to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) the Seller is a separate legal entity with its own separate creditors who will be entitled, upon its liquidation, to be satisfied out of the Seller’s assets prior to any assets or value in the Seller becoming available to the Seller’s equity holders and (iii) the assets of the Seller are not available to pay creditors of the Servicer, the Parent, the Performance Guarantor, the Originators or any Affiliate thereof.
(l)Segregation of Assets. The Seller’s assets will be maintained in a manner that facilitates their identification and segregation from those of the Servicer, the Parent, the Performance Guarantor, the Originators or any Affiliates thereof; provided that Collections may initially be deposited into Collection Accounts and Lock-Boxes and commingled with Originator funds therein as contemplated under Section 8.01(h).
(m)Corporate Formalities. The Seller will strictly observe limited liability company formalities in its dealings with the Servicer, the Parent, the Performance Guarantor, the Originators or any Affiliates thereof, and funds or other assets of the Seller will not be commingled with those of the Servicer, the Parent, the Performance Guarantor, the Originators
76
751200428 16518096

or any Affiliates thereof except as permitted by this Agreement in connection with servicing the Pool Receivables. The Seller shall not maintain joint bank accounts or other depository accounts to which the Servicer, the Parent, the Performance Guarantor, the Originators or any Affiliate thereof (other than the Servicer solely in its capacity as such) has independent access. The Seller is not named, and has not entered into any agreement to be named, directly or indirectly, as a direct or contingent beneficiary or loss payee on any insurance policy with respect to any loss relating to the property of the Servicer, the Parent, the Performance Guarantor, the Originators or any Subsidiaries or other Affiliates thereof. The Seller will pay to the appropriate Affiliate the marginal increase or, in the absence of such increase, the market amount of its portion of the premium payable with respect to any insurance policy that covers the Seller and such Affiliate.
(n)Arm’s-Length Relationships. The Seller will maintain arm’s-length relationships with the Servicer, the Parent, the Performance Guarantor, the Originators and any Affiliates thereof. Any Person that renders or otherwise furnishes services to the Seller will be compensated by the Seller at market rates for such services it renders or otherwise furnishes to the Seller. Neither the Seller on the one hand, nor the Servicer, the Parent, the Performance Guarantor, any Originator or any Affiliate thereof, on the other hand, will be or will hold itself out to be responsible for the debts of the other or the decisions or actions respecting the daily business and affairs of the other. The Seller, the Servicer, the Parent, the Performance Guarantor, the Originators and their respective Affiliates will promptly correct any known misrepresentation with respect to the foregoing, and they will not operate or purport to operate as an integrated single economic unit with respect to each other or in their dealing with any other entity.
(o)Allocation of Overhead. To the extent that Seller, on the one hand, and the Servicer, the Parent, the Performance Guarantor, any Originator or any Affiliate thereof, on the other hand, have offices in the same location, there shall be a fair and appropriate allocation of overhead costs between them, and the Seller shall bear its fair share of such expenses, which may be paid through the Servicing Fee or otherwise.


ADMINISTRATION AND COLLECTION
OF RECEIVABLES
Section 1.09Appointment of the Servicer.
(a)The servicing, administering and collection of the Pool Receivables shall be conducted by the Person so designated from time to time as the Servicer in accordance with this Section 9.01. Until the Administrative Agent gives notice to DXC (in accordance with this Section 9.01) of the designation of a new Servicer, DXC is hereby designated as, and hereby agrees to perform the duties and obligations of, the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Termination, the Administrative Agent may (with the consent of the Majority Group Agents) and shall (at the direction of the Majority Group Agents) designate as Servicer any Person (including itself) to succeed DXC or any successor Servicer, on the condition in each case that any such Person so designated shall agree to perform the duties and obligations of the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof.
(b)Upon the designation of a successor Servicer as set forth in clause (a) above, DXC agrees that it will terminate its activities as Servicer hereunder in a manner that the Administrative Agent reasonably determines will facilitate the transition of the performance of such activities to the new Servicer, and DXC shall cooperate with and assist such new Servicer. Such cooperation shall include access to and transfer of records (including all Contracts) related to Pool Receivables and use by the new Servicer of all licenses (or the obtaining of new licenses), hardware or software necessary or reasonably desirable to collect the Pool Receivables
77
751200428 16518096

and the Related Security. The Servicer shall not be required, to the extent it has an ownership interest in any hardware, software or licenses, to transfer, assign, set-over or otherwise convey such ownership interests to the Administrative Agent. In recognition of the Servicer’s need to have access to any records that may be transferred to the Administrative Agent (or its designee), whether as a result of its continuing responsibility as a servicer of accounts receivable that are not sold under the Transaction Documents or otherwise, the Administrative Agent (or its designee) shall provide to the Servicer reasonable access to such records in connection with any activity arising in the ordinary course of the Servicer’s business; provided, that the Servicer shall not disrupt or otherwise interfere with the Administrative Agent’s (or its designee’s) use of and access to such records.
(c)DXC acknowledges that, in making its decision to execute and deliver this Agreement, the Administrative Agent and each member in each Group have relied on DXC’s agreement to act as Servicer hereunder. Accordingly, DXC agrees that it will not voluntarily resign as Servicer without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Majority Group Agents.
(d)The Servicer may delegate its duties and obligations hereunder to any sub-servicer (each a “Sub-Servicer”); provided, that, in each such delegation: (i) such Sub-Servicer shall agree in writing to perform the delegated duties and obligations of the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof, (ii) the Servicer shall remain liable for the performance of the duties and obligations so delegated, (iii) the Seller, the Administrative Agent, each Purchaser and each Group Agent shall have the right to look solely to the Servicer for performance, (iv) the terms of any agreement with any Sub-Servicer shall provide that the Administrative Agent may terminate such agreement upon the termination of the Servicer hereunder by giving notice of its desire to terminate such agreement to the Servicer (and the Servicer shall provide appropriate notice to each such Sub-Servicer) and (v) if such Sub-Servicer is not an Affiliate of the Parent, the Administrative Agent and the Majority Group Agents shall have consented in writing in advance to such delegation.
Section 1.10Duties of the Servicer.
(a)The Servicer shall take or cause to be taken all such action as may be necessary or reasonably advisable to service, administer and collect each Pool Receivable from time to time, all in accordance with this Agreement and all Applicable Laws, with reasonable care and diligence, and in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy and consistent with the past practices of the Originators. The Servicer shall set aside, for the accounts of each Group, the amount of Collections to which each such Group is entitled in accordance with Article IV hereof. The Servicer may, in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy and consistent with past practices of the Originators, take such action, including modifications, waivers or restructurings of Pool Receivables and related Contracts, as the Servicer may reasonably determine to be appropriate to maximize Collections thereof or reflect adjustments expressly permitted under the Credit and Collection Policy or as expressly required under Applicable Laws or the applicable Contract; provided, that for purposes of this Agreement: (i) such action shall not, and shall not be deemed to, change the number of days such Pool Receivable has remained unpaid from the date of the original due date related to such Pool Receivable, (ii) such action shall not alter the status of such Pool Receivable as a Delinquent Receivable or a Defaulted Receivable or limit the rights of any Secured Party under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document and (iii) if an Event of Termination has occurred and is continuing, the Servicer may take such action only upon the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. The Seller shall deliver to the Servicer and the Servicer shall hold for the benefit of the Administrative Agent (individually and for the benefit of each Group), in accordance with their respective interests, all records and documents (including computer tapes or disks) with respect to each Pool Receivable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if an Event of Termination has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative
78
751200428 16518096

Agent may direct the Servicer 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 any such Defaulted Receivable.
(b)The Servicer’s obligations hereunder shall terminate on the Final Payout Date. Promptly following the Final Payout date, the Servicer shall deliver to the Seller all books, records and related materials that the Seller previously provided to the Servicer, or that have been obtained by the Servicer, in connection with this Agreement.
Section 1.11Blocked Account Arrangements. Prior to the Closing Date, the Seller shall have entered into Account Control Agreements with all of the Blocked Account Banks and delivered executed counterparts of each to the Administrative Agent. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Termination or Non-Reinvestment Event, the Administrative Agent may (with the consent of the Majority Group Agents) and shall (upon the direction of the Majority Group Agents) at any time thereafter give notice to each Blocked Account Bank that the Administrative Agent is exercising its rights under the Account Control Agreements to do any or all of the following: (a) to have the exclusive ownership and control of the Blocked Accounts and the Blocked 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 Blocked Accounts redirected pursuant to the Administrative Agent’s instructions rather than deposited in the applicable Blocked Account and (c) to take any or all other actions permitted under the applicable Account Control Agreement. The Seller 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 Seller hereby further agrees to take any other action that the Administrative Agent may reasonably request to transfer such control. Any proceeds of Pool Receivables received by the Seller or the Servicer thereafter shall be sent immediately to, or as otherwise instructed by, the Administrative Agent.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this subsection, none of the powers conferred upon such attorney-in-fact pursuant to the preceding sentence shall subject such attorney-in-fact to any liability if any action taken by it shall prove to be inadequate or invalid, nor shall they confer any obligations upon such attorney-in-fact in any manner whatsoever.

Section 1.13Responsibilities of the Seller.
(a)Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Seller shall: (i) perform all of its obligations, if any, under the Contracts related to the Pool Receivables to the same extent as if interests in such Pool Receivables had not been transferred hereunder, and the exercise by the Administrative Agent, or any other Purchaser Party of their respective rights hereunder shall not relieve the Seller 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. None of the Purchaser Parties shall have any obligation or liability with respect to

any Sold Assets or Seller Collateral, nor shall any of them be obligated to perform any of the obligations of the Seller, the Servicer or any Originator thereunder.
(b)DXC hereby irrevocably agrees that if at any time it shall cease to be the Servicer hereunder, it shall act (if the then-current Servicer so requests) as the data-processing agent of the Servicer and, in such capacity, DXC shall conduct the data-processing functions of the administration of the Receivables and the Collections thereon in substantially the same way that DXC conducted such data-processing functions while it acted as the Servicer.

81

The Purchaser 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 Group Agents or (ii) may be taken by the Administrative Agent alone or without any advice or concurrence of any Group Agent, then the Administrative Agent may take action based upon the advice or concurrence of the Majority Group Agents.

(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 XI and Article XIII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent.

(e)The parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Seller Obligations owed by the Seller or the Servicer, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Seller or the Servicer for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.

(g)Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 11.13 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Seller Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Transaction Document.

No Group Agent shall have any duties other than those expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents, and no implied obligations or liabilities shall be read into any Transaction Document, or otherwise exist, against any Group Agent. No Group Agent assumes, nor shall it be deemed to have assumed, any obligation to, or relationship of trust or agency with the Seller or any Affiliate thereof, any Purchaser except for any obligations expressly set forth herein. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, in no event shall any Group Agent ever be required to take any action which exposes such Group Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to any provision of any Transaction Document or Applicable Law.
Section 1.2Group Agent’s Reliance, Etc. No Group Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them as a Group Agent under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents in the absence of its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, a Group Agent: (a) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Seller or the Servicer), independent certified public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (b) makes no warranty or representation to any Purchaser Party (whether written or oral) and shall not be responsible to any Purchaser Party for any statements, warranties or representations (whether written or oral) made by any other party in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; (c) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document on the part of the Seller or any Affiliate thereof or any other Person or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of the Seller or
92
751200428 16518096

any Affiliate thereof; (d) shall not be responsible to any Purchaser Party for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any other Transaction Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; and (e) shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in so relying, upon any notice (including notice by telephone), consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by facsimile) believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties.
Section 1.3Group Agent and Affiliates. With respect to any Investment or interests therein owned by any Purchaser Party that is also a Group Agent, such Purchaser Party shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Purchaser and may exercise the same as though it were not a Group Agent. A Group Agent and any of its Affiliates may generally engage in any kind of business with the Seller or any Affiliate thereof and any Person who may do business with or own securities of the Seller or any Affiliate thereof or any of their respective Affiliates, all as if such Group Agent were not a Group Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to any other Secured Party.
Section 1.4Indemnification of Group Agents. Each Committed Purchaser in any Group agrees to indemnify the Group Agent for such Group (to the extent not reimbursed by the Seller or any Affiliate thereof), ratably according to the proportion of the Percentage of such Committed Purchaser to the aggregate Percentages of all Committed Purchasers in such Group, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against such Group Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any action taken or omitted by such Group Agent under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; provided that no Committed Purchaser shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Group Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Section 1.5Delegation of Duties. Each Group Agent may execute any of its duties through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. No Group Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.
Section 1.6Notice of Events of Termination and Non-Reinvestment Events. No Group Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Event of Termination, Non-Reinvestment Event, Unmatured Event of Termination or Unmatured Non-Reinvestment Event unless such Group Agent has received notice from the Administrative Agent, any other Group Agent, any other Purchaser Party, the Servicer or the Seller stating that an Event of Termination, Non-Reinvestment Event, Unmatured Event of Termination or Unmatured Non-Reinvestment Event has occurred hereunder and describing such Event of Termination, Non-Reinvestment Event, Unmatured Event of Termination or Unmatured Non-Reinvestment Event. If a Group Agent receives such a notice, it shall promptly give notice thereof to the Purchaser Parties in its Group and to the Administrative Agent (but only if such notice received by such Group Agent was not sent by the Administrative Agent). A Group Agent may take such action concerning an Event of Termination, Non-Reinvestment Event, Unmatured Event of Termination or Unmatured Non-Reinvestment Event as may be directed by Committed Purchasers in its Group representing a majority of the Commitments in such Group (subject to the other provisions of this Article XII), but until such Group Agent receives such directions, such Group Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, as such Group Agent deems advisable and in the best interests of the Conduit Purchasers and Committed Purchasers in its Group.
Section 1.7Non-Reliance on Group Agent and Other Parties. Each Purchaser Party expressly acknowledges that neither the Group Agent for its Group nor any of such Group
93
751200428 16518096

Agent’s directors, officers, agents or employees has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by such Group Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Seller or any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by such Group Agent. Each Purchaser Party represents and warrants to the Group Agent for its Group that, independently and without reliance upon such Group Agent, any other Group Agent, the Administrative Agent or any other Purchaser 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 Seller or any Affiliate thereof and the Receivables and its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to take, or omit, action under any Transaction Document. Except for items expressly required to be delivered under any Transaction Document by a Group Agent to any Purchaser Party in its Group, no Group Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Purchaser Party in its Group with any information concerning the Seller or any Affiliate thereof that comes into the possession of such Group Agent or any of its directors, officers, agents, employees, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.
Section 1.8Successor Group Agent. Any Group Agent may, upon at least thirty (30) days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, the Seller, the Servicer and the Purchaser Parties in its Group, resign as Group Agent for its Group. Such resignation shall not become effective until a successor Group Agent is appointed by the Purchaser(s) in such Group. Upon such acceptance of its appointment as Group Agent for such Group hereunder by a successor Group Agent, such successor Group Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights and duties of the resigning Group Agent, and the resigning Group Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Transaction Documents. After any resigning Group Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article XII and Article XIII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was a Group Agent.
Section 1.9Reliance on Group Agent. Unless otherwise advised in writing by a Group Agent or by any Purchaser Party in such Group Agent’s Group, each party to this Agreement may assume that (i) such Group Agent is acting for the benefit and on behalf of each of the Purchaser Parties in its Group, as well as for the benefit of each assignee or other transferee from any such Person and (ii) each action taken by such Group Agent has been duly authorized and approved by all necessary action on the part of the Purchaser Parties in its Group.

SELLER GUARANTY
Section 1.31Guaranty of Payment. The Seller hereby absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to each Purchaser, the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties the prompt payment of the Sold Receivables by the related Obligors and all other payment obligations included in the Sold Assets (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”), in each case, in full when due, whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration or otherwise (such guaranty, the “Seller Guaranty”). The Seller Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection and is a continuing irrevocable guaranty and shall apply to all Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising. To the extent the obligations of the Seller hereunder in respect to the Seller Guaranty shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason (including because of any applicable state or federal Law relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers), then such obligations of the Seller shall be limited to the maximum amount that is permissible under Applicable Law (whether federal or state or otherwise and including the Bankruptcy Code and any other applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws).
Section 1.32Unconditional Guaranty. The obligations of the Seller under the Seller Guaranty are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of any Guaranteed Obligations, any Contract, any Transaction Document or any other agreement or instrument referred to therein, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor. The Seller agrees that the Seller Guaranty may be enforced by the Administrative Agent or the Purchasers without the necessity at any time of resorting to or exhausting any other security or collateral and without the necessity at any time of having recourse to any of the other Transaction Documents or any collateral, including the Sold Assets, hereafter securing the Guaranteed Obligations, the Seller Obligations or otherwise, and the Seller hereby waives the right to require the Administrative Agent or the Purchasers to make demand on or proceed against any Obligor, any Originator, the Servicer or the Performance Guarantor or any other Person or to require the Administrative Agent or the Purchasers to pursue any other remedy or enforce any other right. The Seller
107
751200428 16518096

further agrees that no Person or Governmental Authority shall have any right to request any return or reimbursement of funds from the Administrative Agent or the Purchasers in connection with monies received under or in respect of the Seller Guaranty. The Seller further agrees that nothing contained herein shall prevent the Administrative Agent or the Purchasers from suing on any of the other Transaction Documents or foreclosing its or their, as applicable, security interest in or lien on the Sold Assets or any other collateral securing the Guaranteed Obligations or the Seller Obligations or from exercising any other rights available to it or them, as applicable, under any Transaction Document, or any other instrument of security and the exercise of any of the aforesaid rights and the completion of any foreclosure proceedings shall not constitute a discharge of the Seller’s obligations under the Seller Guaranty; it being the purpose and intent of the Seller that its obligations under the Seller Guaranty shall be absolute, independent and unconditional under any and all circumstances. Neither the Seller Guaranty nor any remedy for the enforcement thereof shall be impaired, modified, changed or released in any manner whatsoever by an impairment, modification, change, release, increase or limitation of the liability of any Obligor, any Originator, the Servicer or the Performance Guarantor or by reason of the bankruptcy or insolvency of any Obligor, any Originator, the Servicer or the Performance Guarantor. The Seller hereby waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension, accrual, or increase of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser on the Seller Guaranty or acceptance of the Seller Guaranty. All dealings between any Obligor, any Originator, the Servicer, the Performance Guarantor or the Seller, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers, on the other hand, shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon the Seller Guaranty. The Seller hereby represents and warrants that it is, and immediately after giving effect to the Seller Guaranty and the obligation evidenced hereby, will be, solvent. The Seller Guaranty and the obligations of the Seller under the Seller Guaranty shall be valid and enforceable and shall not be subject to any limitation, impairment or discharge for any reason (other than payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations), including the occurrence of any of the following, whether or not the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser shall have had notice or knowledge of any of them: (a) any failure to assert or enforce or agreement not to assert or enforce, or the stay or enjoining, by order of court, by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise or enforcement of, any claim or demand or any right, power or remedy with respect to the Sold Assets or the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any guaranty of or other security for the payment of the Sold Assets or the Guaranteed Obligations, (b) any waiver, amendment or modification of, or any consent to departure from, any of the terms or provisions (including provisions relating to Termination Events) of any Transaction Document or any agreement or instrument executed pursuant thereto, or of any guaranty or other security for the Sold Assets or the Guaranteed Obligations, (c) to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any agreement relating thereto, at any time being found to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect, (d) the application of payments received from any source to the payment of Indebtedness other than the Guaranteed Obligations, even though the Administrative Agent might have elected to apply such payment to any part or all of the Guaranteed Obligations, (e) any failure to perfect or continue perfection of a security interest in any of the Sold Assets or other Seller Collateral, (f) any defenses, set-offs or counterclaims which the Seller, any Originator, the Servicer, the Performance Guarantor or any Obligor may allege or assert against the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser in respect of the Sold Assets or the Guaranteed Obligations, including failure of consideration, breach of warranty, payment, statute of frauds, statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction and usury, and (g) any other act or thing or omission, or delay to do any other act or thing, which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of the Seller as an obligor in respect of the Sold Assets or the Guaranteed Obligations.

The Seller agrees that: (a) all or any part of any security interest, lien, collateral security or supporting obligation now or hereafter held for any Guaranteed Obligation may be exchanged, compromised or surrendered from time to time; (b) none of the Purchasers or the Administrative Agent shall have any obligation to protect,

perfect, secure or insure any security interest or lien now or hereafter held, if any, for the Guaranteed Obligations; (c) the time or place of payment of any Guaranteed Obligation may be changed or extended, in whole or in part, to a time certain or otherwise, and may be renewed or accelerated, in whole or in part; (d) any Obligor, any Originator, the Seller, the Servicer or the Performance Guarantor and any other party (including any co-guarantor) liable for payment of any Guaranteed Obligation may be granted indulgences generally; (e) any of the provisions of Contracts or any other agreements or documents governing or giving rise to any Guaranteed Obligation may be modified, amended or waived; and (f) any deposit balance for the credit of any Obligor, any Originator, the Servicer, the Performance Guarantor or the Seller or any other party (including any co-guarantor) liable for the payment of any Guaranteed Obligation or liable upon any security therefor may be released, in whole or in part, at, before or after the stated, extended or accelerated maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations, all without notice to or further assent by the Seller, which shall remain bound thereon, notwithstanding any such exchange, compromise, surrender, extension, renewal, acceleration, modification, indulgence or release.

Section 1.35Reinstatement. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, the obligations of the Seller under this Article XV shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of any Person in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, and the Seller agrees that it will indemnify Administrative Agent and each Purchaser on demand for all reasonable and documented costs and expenses (including reasonable fees of counsel) incurred by such Person in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.
Section 1.36Remedies. The Seller agrees that, as between the Seller, on the one hand, and Administrative Agent and the Purchasers, on the other hand, the Guaranteed Obligations may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Article IX (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in Article IX) notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or preventing such Guaranteed Obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against any other Person and that, in the event of such declaration (or such Guaranteed Obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not due and payable by any other Person) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Seller.

The Seller hereby waives all rights of subrogation (whether contractual or otherwise) to the claims of the Administrative Agent, the Purchasers and the other Secured Parties against any Obligor, any Originator, the Servicer, the Performance Guarantor or any other Person in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations until such time as all Guaranteed Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash and the Final Payout Date has occurred. The Seller further agrees that, to the extent such waiver of its rights of subrogation is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason, any rights of subrogation shall be junior and subordinate to any rights the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser may have against any Obligor, any Originator, the Servicer, the Performance Guarantor or any other Person in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations.
Section 1.38Inducement.
