It is the intention of the parties hereto that each Swingline Purchase shall convey to the Facility Agent for the Swingline Purchaser (for the benefit of the Swingline Purchaser), additional Receivable Interests, an undivided ownership interest in the Receivables, Related Security, Collections and Proceeds in respect thereof and that such transaction shall not constitute a secured loan. It is not the intention of the parties that the Incremental Purchases, Reinvestment Purchases, Swingline Purchases, Reimbursement Purchases and Swingline Reimbursement Purchases be deemed a pledge of the Receivable Interests in the Receivables, Related Security, Collections and Proceeds from the Seller to the Facility Agents (on behalf of the Purchasers) to secure a debt or other obligation of the Seller. However, in the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the parties, the Receivable Interests in the Receivables, Related Security, Collections or Proceeds is characterized as collateral for a secured loan or otherwise held to be the property of the Seller, or if for any other reason this Agreement is held or deemed to create a security interest in the Receivable Interests in the Receivables, Related Security, Collections or Proceeds (any of the foregoing being a “Recharacterization”), then it is the intention of the parties hereto that this Agreement shall be a security agreement and the conveyance provided for in Section 2.01(a) shall be deemed to be a grant by the Seller to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Facility Agents and the related Purchasers) of a first priority perfected security interest, securing repayment of the Aggregate Net Investment and all other amounts payable to the Administrative Agent, the Facility Agents and the Purchasers hereunder, in the Collateral.

Upon each reconveyance of a Reassigned Receivable pursuant to this Section, the Administrative Agent shall receive a security interest in the Participation Interest relating to such Reassigned Receivable and in any security interest obtained by the Seller in such Reassigned Receivable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no additional reconveyances of Receivables by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section (and sales by the Seller to the applicable Originator pursuant to the Purchase and Contribution Agreement) shall occur (A) without the consent of the Administrative Agents if a Control Event shall have occurred and be continuing or (B) if, during the 12-month period ending on the last day of the month preceding such reconveyance, the sum of the aggregate Outstanding Balance (in each case determined as of the date of reconveyance) of Reassigned Receivables reconveyed hereunder plus the Outstanding Balance of such additional Receivables in which a reconveyance is proposed under this Section would exceed 1% of the aggregate Outstanding Balance of the Receivables generated during such 12-month period.

(b) The Seller, the Purchasers, the Facility Agents and the Administrative Agent acknowledge and agree that on and after the FFD Effective Time, unless and until FFD is added as an “Originator” under the Transaction Documents, the receivables generated by FFD will not be sold to the Seller pursuant to the Purchase and Contribution Agreement and consequently, not sold, transferred or assigned to the Facility Agents, for the benefit of their respective Purchasers, pursuant to this Agreement.

-40-

Purchasers, at the end of the day immediately preceding such day, plus the Purchase Price paid with respect to any Incremental Purchase, Reimbursement Purchase or Swingline Reimbursement Purchase made on such day, if any, minus the reduction in Aggregate Net Investment pursuant to Section 2.08, 2.09 or 2.15(b) hereof made on such day, if any, and (ii) such Facility Agent’s (for the benefit of its related Purchaser) Purchase Group Net Investment, at the end of each such day shall be equal to the amount of its Purchase Group Net Investment at the end of the day immediately preceding such day, plus its Purchase Group Percentage of the Purchase Price paid with respect to any Incremental Purchase, Reimbursement Purchase or Swingline Reimbursement Purchase made on such day, if any, minus its pro rata portion of the reduction in the Aggregate Net Investment pursuant to Section 2.08, 2.09 or 2.15(b) hereof made on such day.

(D)providing for appropriate fallback (and market disruption) provisions for that Benchmark Replacement; or

(E)adjusting the pricing to reduce or eliminate, to the extent reasonably practicable, any transfer of economic value from one party to another as a result of the application of that Benchmark Replacement (and if any adjustment or method for calculating any adjustment has been formally designated, nominated or recommended by the Relevant Nominating Body, the adjustment shall be determined on the basis of that designation, nomination or recommendation).

-41-

(b) The Administrative Agent will promptly (in one or more notices) notify the Seller and each Facility Agent of (i) any occurrence of a Term SOFR Replacement Event, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, and (iii) the need for aligning any provision of any other Transaction Document to the use of that Benchmark Replacement and shall request consent of the Seller, and subject to paragraph (c) below, the Required Facility Agents with respect to the Benchmark Replacement and the alignment of any provision of any Transaction Document, which changes shall not be effective unless and until such consent is received.

(c) If any Facility Agent fails to respond to a request for an amendment or waiver described in paragraph (a) above within 15 Business Days (or such longer time period in relation to any request which the Seller and the Administrative Agent may agree) of that request being made: (i) its Purchase Group Maximum Net Investment(s) shall not be included for the purpose of calculating the Maximum net Investment when ascertaining whether any relevant percentage of Maximum Net Investment has been obtained to approve that request; and (ii) its status as a Facility Agent and its Purchase Group shall be disregarded for the purpose of ascertaining whether the agreement of any specified Facility Agents has been obtained to approve that request.

(d) Upon the Seller’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Term SOFR Replacement Event, the Seller may revoke any pending request for a Purchase that accrues Yield based on the Term SOFR Rate or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Purchase that accrues Yield at the Alternate Base Rate (other than clauses (ii) or (iii) of that definition).

Section 2.07. ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇ and Costs.

(vi) if the Seller has provided timely notice of an optional reduction of the Aggregate Net Investment or a Mandatory Reduction Amount is due and unpaid, set aside on its books and Records from such Collections the Optional Reduction Amount and Mandatory Reduction Amount, as applicable, but for the avoidance of doubt, without any breakage costs;

-43-

Seller, the Servicer or the Parent hereunder, to the Administrative Agent, the Facility Agents (on behalf of their Purchase Groups), the Purchasers or the ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, as the case may be. If the Control Date but not the Termination Date shall have occurred, the daily set asides, applications and payments specified in this Section 2.08(a) shall be performed by the Administrative Agent, based on the information provided in the Servicer Reports and pursuant to Section 4.10(f).

(b) On the Termination Date and each Business Day thereafter, all Collections received or deemed received (including amounts in the Collection Account), together with other amounts paid by the Seller, the Servicer or the Parent hereunder, shall be applied in the following order of priority (whether or not such funds are sufficient to pay in full all such amounts and pro rata within each level based on the amounts due at such level):

First, to the Servicer in payment of all accrued and unpaid Servicing Fee and all other out-of-pocket costs and expenses owed to it, if any, in connection with the servicing, administering and collecting the Receivables;

-44-

(c) After the Aggregate Net Investment, Reimbursement Obligations, , Yield, fees and any other Aggregate Unpaids have been paid in full and, if required hereunder, the ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Collateral Account has been funded in an amount equal to the Required ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Collateral Amount, all additional Collections with respect to the Receivable Interest shall be paid to the Seller for its own account.

(d) For the purposes of this Section 2.08:

(i) if, on any day, there arises a Deemed Collection with respect to any Receivable, the Seller shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection of such Receivable in the amount of such Deemed Collection;

(ii) except as otherwise required by applicable Law or in (i) above or the relevant Contract, all Collections (other than Deemed Collections) received from an Obligor of any Receivable shall be applied to the Receivables of such Obligor in order of the age of such Receivables, starting with the oldest such Receivable, unless such Obligor designates its payment for application to specific Receivables, provided that Deemed Collections shall be applied to the applicable Receivable that gave rise to such Deemed Collection; and

(iii) if and to the extent any Purchaser or LC Bank shall be required for any reason to pay over to an Obligor 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, such Purchaser or LC Bank, as applicable, shall have a claim against the Seller for such amount, payable when and to the extent that any distribution from or on behalf of such Obligor is made in respect thereof.

(e) The funds deposited into the ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Collateral Account pursuant to (i) Section 2.08, Section 2.09 or Section 2.12 may be applied as set forth in (A) Section 2.11(b) to satisfy the Seller’s Reimbursement Obligations or (B) Sections 2.12(a) or (c) to satisfy a Defaulting Purchaser’s obligations to fund its portion of Reimbursement Purchases, or (ii) Section 11.08 may be applied to satisfy the Seller’s Reimbursement Obligation and the Required ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Collateral Amount. If on any Monthly Report Date the amount on deposit in ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Collateral Account (other than amounts deposited therein pursuant to Section 11.08 and not then applied pursuant to clause (ii) of the preceding sentence) exceeds the Required ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Collateral Amount, the Administrative Agent shall, on the second Business Day after the next Monthly Report Date, withdraw such excess funds on deposit in the ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Collateral Account, and pay the same to the Seller.

Section 2.09. Mandatory Reduction of Aggregate Exposure Amount If, on any day, the Seller knows or should know that the Percentage Interest exceeds 100%, the Servicer or the Seller shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Facility Agents and shall specify the Mandatory Reduction Amount. By the second Business Day after the date of such notification, the Seller shall pay the Mandatory Reduction Amount to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such funds (i) first, to each LC Bank owed any Reimbursement Obligations(s), its pro rata share (based on such ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇’ Reimbursement

-45-

Obligation(s) as a percentage of the aggregate amount of Reimbursement Obligations owed to ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇) of such Mandatory Reduction Amount (but in no event in excess of the Reimbursement Obligations(s) owed to each such LC Bank), (ii) second, to the Swingline Purchaser, any Swingline Reimbursement Purchase owed to it, (iii) third, to pay to each Facility Agent, its Purchase Group’s Purchase Group Percentage of any remaining Mandatory Reduction Amount to repay all or a portion of the related Purchase Group’s Net Investment, and (iv) fourth, to the ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Collateral Account, any remaining Mandatory Reduction Amount. On any day on which a Mandatory Reduction Amount is due and payable, the Seller shall not be obligated to pay to any Purchaser any breakage costs in connection with the payment of such Mandatory Reduction Amount, even if paid on a date other than a Settlement Date.

Section 2.10. Letters of Credit. (a) On and after the LC Effective Date, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each LC Bank, in reliance on the agreements of the Facility Agents set forth in Section 2.11, agrees to issue standby and documentary letters of credit (the “Letters of Credit”) for the account of the Seller on any Business Day during the period from the LC Effective Date to the Termination Date (or, in the case of an LC Bank in a Non-Extending Purchase Group, the applicable Non-Pro Rata Extension Date) in such form as may be approved from time to time by such LC Bank; provided that no LC Bank shall have any obligation to Issue any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such Issuance, (i) without the consent of the applicable LC Bank, the LC Obligations owed to such LC Bank at such time would exceed such LC Bank’s LC Bank Sublimit, (ii) the Percentage Interest would exceed 100%, (iii) in the event that the Scheduled Termination Date shall have been extended pursuant to Section 2.17 with respect to some but not all of the Purchase Groups, the portion of the LC Obligations attributable to Letters of Credit with expiry dates after the next Non-Pro Rata Extension Date will exceed the portion of the Maximum Net Investment attributable to the Maximum Net Investment of the Purchase Groups that are not Non-Extending Purchase Groups, or (iv) any Committed Purchaser is a Defaulting Purchaser, unless (x) arrangements with respect to such Defaulting Purchaser have been made which are reasonably satisfactory to such LC Bank to mitigate such LC Bank’s risk with respect to such Defaulting Purchaser (as to both existing Letters of Credit and any proposed new Issuance), (y) the Seller has fulfilled the requirements set forth in Section 2.12(a), or (z) such Defaulting Purchaser has assigned all of its rights, interests and obligations hereunder to assignee(s) in accordance with Section 11.08 hereof. Each Letter of Credit shall (A) be denominated in Dollars, (B) have a face amount of at least $5,000,000, (C) expire no later than the earlier of (1) the first anniversary of its date of issuance and (2) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Scheduled Termination Date (or, in the case of an LC Bank in a Non-Extending Purchase Group, the applicable Non-Pro Rata Extension Date), provided that any Letter of Credit with a one-year term may provide for the automatic renewal thereof for additional one-year periods (which shall in no event extend beyond the date referred to in clause (2) above) and (D) provide for the payment of sight drafts or other written demands for payment no earlier than the next Business Day after being presented for honor thereunder (as long as presented by 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on such Business Day, and, if presented after 2:00 p.m, the second Business Day after being presented) in accordance with the terms thereof and when accompanied by the documents described therein.

(b) The Seller may from time to time request that an LC Bank Issue or Modify a Letter of Credit, as the case may be, by delivering to such LC Bank, at its address for notices specified

-46-

on Schedule I hereto (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by such LC Bank) and the Administrative Agent a Letter of Credit Application therefor, completed to the satisfaction of such LC Bank, and a Letter of Credit Request. Additionally, the Seller shall furnish to the applicable LC Bank such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as such LC Bank may request. Upon receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, such LC Bank will also provide a copy thereof to the Administrative Agent and, following receipt, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Facility Agents thereof. Such LC Bank will process such Letter of Credit Application and the certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its customary procedures. Unless such LC Bank has knowledge, or has received written notice from any Facility Agent, the Administrative Agent or the Seller at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of the applicable Issuance or Modification, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Section 3.03 shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such LC Bank shall on the requested date of the applicable Issuance or Modification, Issue or Modify the Letter of Credit, as the case may be, requested by such Letter of Credit Application and related documentation (but in no event shall such LC Bank be required to Issue or Modify any Letter of Credit earlier than three Business Days after its receipt of the Letter of Credit Application therefor and all related documentation) by Issuing the original of such Letter of Credit (or requested Modification, if applicable) to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed to by such LC Bank and the Seller. Such LC Bank shall furnish a copy of such Letter of Credit or any amendment thereto to the Seller promptly following the Issuance or Modification thereof. Such LC Bank shall promptly furnish to the Administrative Agent, which shall in turn promptly furnish to the Facility Agents, notice of the Issuance or Modification, as applicable, of each Letter of Credit (including the amount thereof), each increase or decrease in the amount of such Letter of Credit (including the amount thereof) and the termination of such Letter of Credit.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary contained herein, no LC Bank shall be under any obligation to Issue any Letter of Credit if: (i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such LC Bank from Issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to such LC Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such LC Bank (x) shall prohibit, or request that such LC Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular, (y) shall impose upon such LC Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such LC Bank is not otherwise entitled to be compensated hereunder) not in effect on the LC Effective Date, or (z) shall impose upon such LC Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the LC Effective Date and which such LC Bank in good ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ material to it; provided that, in the cases of clauses (y) and (z), such LC Bank shall have provided written notice to the Seller of its refusal to issue any Letter of Credit and the specific reasons therefor and the Seller shall not have compensated such LC Bank for the imposition of such restriction, reserve or capital requirement or reimbursed such LC Bank for such loss, cost or expense, as applicable; (ii) the Issuance of such Letter of Credit would otherwise conflict with, or cause such LC Bank or any Purchase Group to exceed any limits imposed by, any applicable Law; or (iii) the Issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such LC Bank applicable to letters of credit generally. An LC

-47-

Bank shall not be obligated to Modify any Letter of Credit if (A) such LC Bank would have no obligation at such time to Issue the Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to the Letter of Credit.

(d) The Seller shall authorize and direct each LC Bank to name the Seller as the “Applicant” or “Account Party” of each Letter of Credit; provided, that any such Letter of Credit may indicate that it is issued “on behalf of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Enterprises, LLC or an Affiliate of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Enterprises, LLC” Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or otherwise outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of a Person other than the Seller, the Seller shall be obligated to reimburse the applicable LC Bank hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit as provided in this Agreement.

(e) If any draft shall be presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, the relevant LC Bank shall promptly notify the Seller and the Administrative Agent of the date and the amount thereof and whether such LC Bank has made or will make a payment thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Seller of its obligation to reimburse such LC Bank with respect to any drawing under a Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms hereof. Upon receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly advise the Facility Agents thereof. The responsibility of such LC Bank to the Seller in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are substantially in conformity with such Letter of Credit.

(f) To the extent that any provision of any Letter of Credit Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 2.10, the provisions of this Section 2.10 shall apply.

(g) For purposes of determining the “Stated Amount” of a Letter of Credit at any time hereunder, such amount shall be deemed to be the maximum stated amount (including any automatic increases provided by its terms) of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at such time.

(h) The Seller shall cause the aggregate Stated Amount of all Letters of Credit outstanding hereunder and all Reimbursement Obligations under clause (i) of that definition to be secured at all times by the Receivable Interest, and shall on every Business Day make such further grant, assignment, transfer and conveyance to the Facility Agents, for the benefit of the related Purchasers and ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, in the Receivables, Related Security and Collections, as is necessary (if any) to cause such Receivable Interest to be so maintained.

(i) All payments made by an LC Bank pursuant to any Letter of Credit shall be made from funds of such LC Bank, and not from the funds of any other Person.

(j) Whenever any LC Bank issues a Letter of Credit, each Facility Agent, on behalf of its related Purchasers, shall, automatically and without further action of any kind upon the

-48-

effective date of issuance of such Letter of Credit, have irrevocably (i) agreed to acquire a participation interest therein in an amount equal to its Purchase Group Percentage of the Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit and (ii) committed to make a Reimbursement Purchase hereunder equal to its ratable share of the applicable Reimbursement Obligation in the event that such Letter of Credit is subsequently drawn and such drawn amount shall not have been reimbursed by the Seller upon such draw. In the event that any Letter of Credit expires or is surrendered to the issuing LC Bank without being drawn (in whole or in part) then, in such event, the foregoing commitment to make a Reimbursement Purchase with respect to draws under such Letter of Credit shall expire with respect to such Letter of Credit and the Aggregate Exposure Amount shall automatically reduce by the Stated Amount of the Letter of Credit which is no longer outstanding.

Section 2.11. Letter of Credit Reimbursements; Payments. (a) In the event of any request for a drawing under a Letter of Credit by the beneficiary or transferee thereof, the applicable LC Bank will promptly notify the Seller and the Administrative Agent of such request on the date such request is made, and the Administrative Agent shall, in turn, promptly advise the Facility Agents thereof. Upon such drawing, the Seller will have a Reimbursement Obligation to reimburse such LC Bank at or prior to 11:00 a.m., New York time on the date on which such draw is required to be paid, in an amount equal to the amount paid by such LC Bank under such Letter of Credit in respect of such drawing. The Seller shall use its own funds available therefor to satisfy its Reimbursement Obligation; provided, that on and after the Termination Date, the Administrative Agent shall apply funds on deposit in the ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Collateral Account to pay the applicable LC Bank the Reimbursement Obligation owed to it. If the Seller shall not have satisfied its Reimbursement Obligation, the applicable LC Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, the Seller and the Facility Agents of such non-payment by the Seller of its Reimbursement Obligation and the Seller shall be deemed to have requested that a Purchase (each such Purchase, a “Reimbursement Purchase”) be made on the date of the required drawing in the amount paid by such LC Bank under such Letter of Credit in respect of such drawing on such date and (ii) the Seller will deliver promptly to the Facility Agents a Purchase Notice with respect to such Reimbursement Purchase. Such Purchase Notice will specify the amount of the Reimbursement Purchase and the allocation thereof among the Purchase Groups and remittance instructions provided by the applicable LC Bank. Upon receipt of such Purchase Notice, a Reimbursement Purchase will be made by each Facility Agent (on behalf of its related Purchasers) by delivering its portion of such Reimbursement Purchase (or, in the case of a Defaulting Purchaser, by the Administrative Agent using funds in the ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Collateral Account, if available, to fund such Defaulting Purchaser’s portion of the Reimbursement Purchase) to the Seller by 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on such Business Day; provided, that in no event shall any Facility Agent make a Reimbursement Purchase in the event that, after giving effect to the making of such Reimbursement Purchase, the related Purchase Group’s Exposure Amount would exceed such Purchase Group’s Maximum Net Investment. The requirement to make Reimbursement Purchases hereunder shall continue until the last to occur of any of the following events: (i) each LC Bank ceases to be obligated to issue or cause to be issued Letters of Credit hereunder; (ii) no Letter of Credit issued hereunder remains outstanding and uncancelled; and (iii) all Persons (other than the Seller or any Affiliate) have been fully reimbursed for all payments made under or relating to Letters of Credit. To the extent that any Facility Agent (on behalf of its related Purchasers) does not fund such Reimbursement Purchase

-49-

hereunder, the aggregate amount of such unfunded Reimbursement Purchases shall be deemed to be a Reimbursement Obligation of the Seller until such time (if at all) that any such Facility Agent(s) (on behalf of their related Defaulting Purchaser(s)) fund their Reimbursement Purchase(s) to such LC Bank. Each Facility Agent’s funding of its ratable portion of a Reimbursement Purchase shall reduce the Seller’s Reimbursement Obligation by the amount of such funding.

(b) If an LC Bank is required at any time to return to the Seller or any other Person, or to a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian, or any official in any insolvency proceeding, any portion of the payments made by the Seller to such LC Bank pursuant to this Agreement in payment of a Reimbursement Obligation, each Facility Agent’s obligation (on behalf of its related Purchaser) to make a Reimbursement Purchase in accordance with the terms of Section 2.11(a) shall thereupon arise, and following demand by such LC Bank, each such Facility Agent shall make a Reimbursement Purchase of its ratable amount of any amounts so returned by such LC Bank.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, prior to the date on which a drawing occurs on any Letter of Credit (each such date, a “Drawing Date”), no Yield shall accrue or be payable on the Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit, but fees with respect thereto shall be payable in accordance with the Fee Letter and each LC Bank Fee Letter. Following the Drawing Date of any Letter of Credit and funding of a Reimbursement Purchase, applicable Yield shall accrue and be payable on the outstanding unpaid amount of such Reimbursement Purchase for each day from and including the date such Reimbursement Purchase is made. In addition, following the Drawing Date of any Letter of Credit (and until a Reimbursement Purchase or payment in satisfaction of a Reimbursement Obligation in full), applicable Yield shall accrue and be payable on the outstanding amount of such Reimbursement Obligation for each day from and including the date such Reimbursement Obligation arose to but excluding the date the Seller reimburses the Reimbursement Obligation (or such time as the Reimbursement Purchase is made in full to satisfy the Reimbursement Obligation).

(d) The Seller’s obligations under this Section 2.11 and the Facility Agents’ obligations to fund Reimbursement Purchases under this Section 2.11 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that the Seller or any such Facility Agent may have or have had against any LC Bank, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person. The Seller also agrees with each LC Bank that no LC Bank shall be responsible for, and the Seller’s Reimbursement Obligations shall not be affected by, among other things, (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or any Transaction Document or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by any LC Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.11(d), constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Seller’s obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Facility Agents, the Purchasers nor the ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability

-50-

or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of any LC Bank; provided, that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the relevant LC Bank from liability to the Seller to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Seller to the extent permitted by applicable Law) suffered by the Seller that are caused by such LC Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of an LC Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), such LC Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, an LC Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

Section 2.12. Defaulting Purchasers. (a) If any Committed Purchaser becomes a Defaulting Purchaser at any time when there are undrawn Letters of Credit outstanding, then the Servicer shall on each day following such occurrence apply Collections to cash collateralize for the benefit of the ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ the portion of the amount of the then outstanding Letters of Credit equal to such Defaulting Purchaser’s ratable share of such undrawn Stated Amount of outstanding Letters of Credit by depositing all Collections available pursuant to Section 2.08 into the ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Collateral Account until the amount therein is equal to such Defaulting Purchaser’s ratable share of undrawn Stated Amount of outstanding Letters of Credit (including increased amounts due to newly-issued Letters of Credit and reductions due to terminations of Letters of Credit). The Administrative Agent shall (1) apply funds deposited into the ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Collateral Account pursuant to this Section 2.12(a) to satisfy a Defaulting Purchaser’s obligation to fund it portion of a Reimbursement Purchase pursuant to Section 2.11(a) or (b) hereof and (2) transfer funds in the ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Collateral Account in excess of the Required ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Collateral Amount to the Seller as provided in Section 2.08(e) hereof. For the avoidance of doubt, the amount required to be deposited and maintained in the ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Collateral Account pursuant to this Section 2.12(a) is only one component of the Required ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Collateral Amount, and other

-51-

amounts may be required to be deposited and maintained in the ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Collateral Account pursuant to Section 2.08 or 2.09.

(b) The Seller shall not be required to pay any Defaulting Purchaser the portion of the Used Fee or Unused Fee pursuant to the Fee Letter with respect to the amount of the undrawn Letters of Credit that is cash collateralized pursuant to Section 2.12(a).

Section 2.13. Payments and Computations, Etc. All per annum fees payable under this Agreement shall be calculated for the actual days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year. All amounts to be paid or deposited by the Seller or the Servicer hereunder shall be paid or deposited in accordance with the terms hereof in immediately available funds no later than the time specified in the applicable provision of this Agreement, or, if not so specified, by 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the day when due. All such amounts shall be paid or deposited to the applicable party or account, as applicable, at the address listed on Schedule I hereto (or in the applicable Assumption Agreement); provided, that, if such amounts are payable to any Purchasers or ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, they shall be paid or deposited in the applicable Facility Agent’s account indicated on Schedule I hereto (or in the applicable Assumption Agreement), until otherwise notified by such party. The Seller shall, to the extent permitted by Law, pay interest on all amounts not paid or deposited when due hereunder at a rate equal to the Default Rate. All computations of Yield hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first but excluding the last day) elapsed other than computations of interest calculated by reference to the Alternate Base Rate which shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- or 366-day year, as applicable.

Section 2.14. Increased Costs. The Seller will indemnify each Purchaser (and any of its Support Providers) and LC Bank if any Regulatory Change (i) subjects such Person (each an “Affected Person”) to any charge on or with respect to such Affected Person’s obligations in connection with the Facility, or on or with respect to the Receivables, or subjects any such Affected Person to Tax on its Exposure Amount or its obligation to fund a portion of the Aggregate Exposure Amount (except for Indemnified Taxes and Excluded Taxes), (ii) imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or liabilities of any Affected Person, or credit extended by any Affected Person in connection with the Facility (excluding Taxes) or (iii) imposes any other condition the result of which is to increase the cost to any Affected Person of performing its obligations in connection with the Facility, or to reduce the rate of return on any Affected Person’s capital as a consequence of its obligations in connection with the Facility, or to reduce

-52-

the amount of any sum received or receivable by any Affected Person in connection with this Facility, or to require any payment calculated by reference to the amount of interests or loans held or interest received by it (excluding Taxes). The Seller will promptly pay to the Facility Agent for the Affected Person such indemnity amount as shall be specified to the Seller in a certificate of the Affected Person (or its Facility Agent, on its behalf) setting forth the calculations of such amount, together with the basis therefor. Any such certificate submitted by or on behalf of the Affected Person shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

Section 2.15. Optional Reduction of Maximum Net Investment; Optional Reduction of Aggregate Net Investment. (a) The Seller may at any time and from time to time reduce in whole or in part the Maximum Net Investment (but not below the Aggregate Exposure Amount) and/or the Swingline Sublimit by giving the Facility Agents and/or the Swingline Purchaser, if applicable, written notice thereof at least five (5) Business Days before such reduction is to take place; provided, however, that any partial reduction of the Maximum Net Investment or the Swingline Sublimit shall be in an amount of $5,000,000 or any higher multiple of $100,000. Any reduction in the Maximum Net Investment shall be allocated ratably among the Purchase Groups. The Seller shall pay each Facility Agent any accrued and unpaid Unused Fee on the date of such reduction with respect to the reduction amount.

(b) The Seller may reduce, in whole or in part, the Aggregate Net Investment (the amount of any such reduction, the “Optional Reduction Amount”) by giving the Administrative Agent and the Facility Agents written notice thereof at least two (2) Business Days before such optional reduction (each, an “Optional Reduction Notice”) substantially in the form of Exhibit F hereto. Each such Optional Reduction Notice shall specify the requested Optional Reduction Amount and the requested optional reduction date. If the Seller has delivered an Optional Reduction Notice with respect to the Aggregate Net Investment, then on the requested Optional Reduction Date, the Servicer shall apply Collections that would have been used for Reinvestment Purchases to pay (i) first, to the Facility Agent for the Swingline Purchaser, any Swingline Purchase Net Investment or Swingline Reimbursement Purchase that is owed, and (ii) second, to the Facility Agents (for the benefit of their respective Purchasers), their ratable shares of the reduction amount, but for the avoidance of doubt, without any breakage costs. Each partial reduction shall be in minimum increments of $5,000,000 or any higher multiple of $100,000.

Section 2.16. Increase in Maximum Net Investment . The Seller may at any time and from time to time as long as no Termination Event or Potential Termination Event exists increase the Maximum Net Investment up to $1,500,000,000 by (a) either (i) adding additional Purchase Groups or (ii) causing an existing Purchase Group or Groups to increase its Purchase Group Maximum Net Investment and (b) executing an amendment to this Agreement. Each new Purchase Group shall become a party hereto by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent, the Seller and the Servicer an Assumption Agreement (which Assumption Agreement shall be executed by all Purchasers in such new Purchase Group).

Section 2.17. Procedures for Extension of Scheduled Termination Date. (a) No more than 90 days prior to date as of which the proposed extension would become effective (the “Proposed Effective Date”), the Seller may request in writing that each Facility Agent consent to

-53-

the extension of the Scheduled Termination Date for an additional period specified in such request, which decision shall be made by each Facility Agent (after consultation with its Purchase Group) in its sole discretion. Each Facility Agent shall notify the Seller of its willingness or its determination not to consent to such extension of the Scheduled Termination Date as soon as practical after receiving such request, and in any event by the thirtieth day following the day such request is received (the “Response Date”). Any Facility Agent which does not expressly notify the Seller of its willingness to extend by the Response Date will be deemed not to have consented to such extension.

(b) If, by the Response Date, all Facility Agents have notified the Seller of their determination to extend the Scheduled Termination Date, then on the Proposed Effective Date, the Scheduled Termination Date will be so extended by the period agreed between the Seller and the Purchase Groups, such extension to be evidenced in an addendum or amendment to this Agreement signed by all parties hereto.

(c) If, by the Response Date, any Facility Agent has notified (or is deemed to have notified) the Seller of its determination not to extend, then such Purchase Group will become a “Non-Extending Purchase Group” on the Proposed Effective Date unless on or before such Proposed Effective Date, the Seller withdraws its request for an extension, in which case, all Purchase Groups shall maintain their existing Purchase Group Maximum Net Investments for the unextended Scheduled Termination Date. If the Seller elects not to withdraw its request, then on the Proposed Effective Date (or such date as is agreed by the parties hereto) (i) for any Facility Agents which have agreed to the extension of the Scheduled Termination Date, the Scheduled Termination Date will be extended for the period requested by the Seller and accepted by such Facility Agents and (ii) the Seller shall either (A) cause each Non-Extending Purchase Group to assign, and each Non-Extending Purchase Group hereby agrees to make such assignment, governed by the terms of Section 11.08, of its interests, rights and obligations (including its obligation to make Swingline Purchases, if applicable) under this Agreement to existing Purchase Groups, an Eligible Purchaser, or other Purchaser acceptable to the Administrative Agent and following the LC Effective Date, the ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, which agree to the extended Scheduled Termination Date, or (B) declare a “Non-Pro Rata Extension Date” as of which date (1) the Maximum Net Investment (and the LC Sub-Facility) will be reduced by the amount of each Non-Extending Purchase Group’s Purchase Group Maximum Net Investment, (2) if such Non-Extending Purchase Group includes the Swingline Purchaser, the Swingline Sublimit will be reduced by the amount of the Swingline Sublimit, and (3) the Servicer shall set aside and hold in trust for each Non-Extending Purchase Group, a ratable percentage of Collections (based on the Exposure Amount of such Non-Extending Purchase Group as a percentage of the Aggregate Exposure Amount). If the amount so set aside on such Non-Pro Rata Extension Date is not adequate to repay each Non-Extending Purchase Group’s Net Investment, together with Yield thereon and other Aggregate Unpaids due to it, then on each Business Day after the Non-Pro Rata Extension Date, unless a Termination Event or Potential Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing or would occur after giving effect to the payment of such amounts, the Servicer shall allocate to each Non-Extending Purchase Group its ratable portion of Collections (up to such Net Investment, Yield and other amounts) and on each Distribution Date after the Non-Pro Rata Extension Date, shall pay to the Facility Agent for the Non-Extending Purchase Group the Non-Extending Purchase Group’s Net Investment, Yield

-54-

thereon and other Aggregate Unpaids due them until such amounts have been paid in full. The Facility Agent for a Non-Extending Purchase Group shall not be obligated to make any Purchases or Issue or Modify Letters of Credit on and after its Non-Pro Rata Extension Date. An extension of the Scheduled Termination Event shall be evidenced by an addendum or amendment to this Agreement executed by all parties hereto (including any new Purchasers and Facility Agents).

Section 2.18. Facility Termination. Subject to other provisions of this Agreement requiring earlier termination, the Facility Agents’ obligations (on behalf of their respective Purchasers) to make Purchases hereunder and ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇’ obligations to Issue or Modify (and honor draws under) the Letters of Credit hereunder shall terminate at Facility Termination.

Section 2.19. Swingline Purchases . (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, including Section 3.03 and, as applicable, Section 3.04, from time to time, upon receipt by the Facility Agent for the Swingline Purchaser from the Seller of a Purchase Notice, the Swingline Purchaser hereby agrees to make a Swingline Purchase in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time the Swingline Sublimit. The Seller shall provide the Facility Agent for the Swingline Purchaser with a Purchase Notice by 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day on which such Swingline Purchase is requested (and if the Facility Agent shall receive such Purchase Notice after 1:00 p.m (New York City time), on a Business Day, such Swingline Purchase shall be deemed to be requested to be made on the next following Business Day). Each Purchase Notice shall specify the Purchase Price of the Swingline Purchase requested to be made. Not later than 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day on which such Purchase Notice is received (or if such Purchase Notice is received after 1:00 p.m., (New York City time) on a Business Day, no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time), on the Business Day next following the Business Day on which such Purchase Notice is received), the Swingline Purchaser will make the Swingline Purchase by paying to the Seller in immediately available funds an amount equal to the Purchase Price for such requested Swingline Purchase. The Swingline Purchaser shall have no obligation to make a Swingline Purchase on any day if the conditions set forth in Section 3.03 and, as applicable, Section 3.04, hereof are not satisfied. The Swingline Purchaser shall make no such Swingline Purchase on or after the tenth Business Day before the Scheduled Termination Date or after the Termination Date. Each Swingline Purchase shall be in an aggregate amount of at least $1,000,000 or any higher multiple of $100,000. The Seller will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy of each Purchase Notice for a Swingline Purchase at the same time as such Purchase Notice is provided to the Facility Agent for the Swingline Purchaser, and the Administrative Agent will, in turn, promptly provide such Purchase Notice to the Facility Agents.

(b) On the Swingline Settlement Date related to each Swingline Purchase, such Swingline Purchase shall be repaid by Purchase by the Purchase Groups (each such Purchase, a “Swingline Reimbursement Purchase”). On or prior to 1:00 p.m., New York time on the Business Day before each Swingline Settlement Date, the Swingline Purchaser shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Facility Agents a Purchase Notice. Such Purchase Notice will specify the amount of the Swingline Reimbursement Purchase and the allocation thereof among the Purchase Groups (which shall be based on their respective Purchase Group Percentages) and remittance instructions. Upon receipt of such Purchase Notice, a Swingline Reimbursement

-55-

Purchase will be made by each Facility Agent (other than the Facility Agent for the Swingline Purchaser whose funding, for administrative convenience, will be deemed made), on behalf of its related Purchasers, by delivering its portion of such Swingline Reimbursement Purchase to the Facility Agent for the Swingline Purchaser by 1:00 p.m. New York time, on the applicable Swingline Settlement Date; provided, that in no event shall any Facility Agent make a Swingline Reimbursement Purchase in the event that, after giving effect to the making of such Swingline Reimbursement Purchase, the related Purchase Group’s Exposure Amount would exceed such Purchase Group’s Maximum Net Investment. The requirement to make Swingline Reimbursement Purchases hereunder shall continue until the last to occur of any of the following events: (i) the Swingline Purchaser ceases to be obligated to make Swingline Purchases hereunder; and (ii) the Net Investment attributable to Swingline Purchases has been repaid.

(c) In the event any Facility Agent fails to make available to the Swingline Purchaser its portion of the Swingline Reimbursement Purchase, such Facility Agent shall continue to owe to the Swingline Purchaser its portion of the Swingline Reimbursement Purchase, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the applicable Swingline Settlement Date to the date such amount is repaid to the Swingline Purchaser in same day funds at the Alternate Base Rate.

(d) In the event that, on a Swingline Settlement Date, a Termination Event occurs and either (i) such Termination Event is of the type described in Section 8.1(f) hereof or (ii) no further Purchases are being made under this Agreement, so long as any such Termination Event is continuing, then, the Seller will be deemed to have sent to each of the Facility Agents (on behalf of their respective Purchas Groups) a Purchase Notice for a Swingline Reimbursement Purchase and the procedures of clause (b) shall apply.

(e) The Facility Agents’ obligations to fund Swingline Reimbursement Purchases under this Section 2.19 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances, and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that the Seller or any such Facility Agent may have or have had against the Swingline Purchaser or any other Person, and shall apply regardless of whether the conditions precedent thereto set forth in Section 3.03 and, as applicable, Section 3.04 hereof,, are then satisfied and whether or not any Termination Event or Potential Termination Event exists.

To the extent Collections are transferred to or otherwise received by the Servicer, the Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered to receive and hold in trust such Collections for the Facility Agents (for the benefit of their respective Purchasers and ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇) and Seller (to the extent of its interest) to be allocated and distributed as provided in this Agreement.

(b) Subject to the rights retained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 4.09 hereof, each of the Seller, the Purchasers, the ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, the Facility Agents and the Administrative Agent hereby appoint the Servicer to enforce its respective rights and interests in and to the Receivable Interest.

The Servicer shall be responsible for coordinating the servicing of the Receivables by the Sub-Servicers and all other Persons to whom any servicing responsibilities are delegated in accordance with this Section 4.01(c). No delegation of duties by the Servicer permitted hereunder shall relieve the Servicer of its liability and responsibility with respect to such duties.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall have the right to do all such acts and things as they may deem necessary to protect the interests of the Purchasers and the ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, including, without limitation, confirmation and verification of the existence, amount and status of the Receivables; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall not contact any Obligor or mark any invoice as “assigned” unless a Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing; and provided, further, that the Administrative Agent shall not deliver any “shifting control notice” or exercise any other right or remedy set forth as being available upon or during a Control Event or a Termination Event unless a Control Event or a Termination Event, as applicable, shall have occurred and be continuing.

The Servicer will also furnish to the Administrative Agent and each Facility Agent all material modifications, adjustments or supplements to the Credit and Collection Policy; provided, however, the Servicer shall not, without each Facility Agent’s prior written consent, alter or consent to the alteration of the Credit and Collection Policy as in effect from time to time unless such alteration would not impair the collectability of any Receivables in any material respect or would not otherwise be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.06. Audits; Agreed-Upon Procedures. (a) Each of the Seller, the Servicer and each Originator will, from time to time during regular business hours as requested by the Administrative Agent or any Facility Agent upon reasonable notice and subject to any applicable restrictions or limitations on access to any facility or information that is classified or restricted by contract or by law, regulation or governmental guidelines, and at the sole cost of such Person, permit the Administrative Agent, the Facility Agents or their respective agents or representatives (i) to examine and make copies of and abstracts from all Records in the possession or under the control of such Person relating to the Receivables and the Related Security, including, without limitation, the related Contracts, and (ii) to visit the offices and properties of such Person for the purpose of examining such materials described in clause (i) above, and to discuss matters relating to such Person’s financial condition or the Receivables and the Related Security or any Person’s performance under any of the Transaction Documents or any Person’s performance under the Contracts and, in each case, with any of the officers or employees of Seller, the Servicer or such Originator having knowledge of such matters; provided, that as long as no Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent and the Facility Agents hereby agree to conduct only one due diligence visit annually and to coordinate their annual visits.

(b) The Servicer shall cause a firm selected and engaged by the Administrative Agent to furnish an annual report to the Facility Agents pursuant to procedures agreed upon by the Servicer and the Administrative Agent (in consultation with the Facility Agents), provided that if a Potential Termination Event or Termination Event shall have occurred, such audit report shall be furnished at any time and from time to time upon request of the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall assist the Seller and the Servicer in preparing for each audit and addressing any recommendations made in the audit report.

Section 4.07. No Impairment. Neither the Servicer nor any Originator will not take any action or cause any action to be taken to impair the rights of any Facility Agents (for the benefit of the Purchasers and ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇) in the Receivable Interest.

Section 4.08. Administration and Collections.

(a) General. Until a Complete Servicing Transfer shall have occurred, the Servicer will be responsible for the administration, servicing and collection of the Receivables.

-65-

(b) Administration. The Servicer shall, to the full extent permitted by Law, have the power and authority, on behalf of the Seller and each Facility Agent, to take such action in respect of any Receivable as the Servicer may deem advisable, including the resale of any repossessed, returned or rejected goods. In addition, the Servicer may adjust or modify (including by extension of time for payment or granting any discounts, allowances or credits) the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable as it determines to be appropriate to maximize Collections thereof.

(c) Enforcement Proceedings. If there is a default under any Receivable, the Servicer shall, at the Seller’s sole expense, to the full extent permitted by Law and as it determines to be appropriate to maximize recoveries on that Receivable, have the power and authority, on behalf of the Seller and each Facility Agent (for the benefit of its related Purchasers and ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇), to take or cause to be taken any action in respect of any such Receivable as the Servicer may deem advisable, including, but not limited to, the authority to effectuate the reconveyance of Reassigned Receivables as provided in Section 2.01A hereof. The Servicer will apply or will cause to be applied at all times when a Termination Event does not exist the same standards and follow the same procedures with respect to deciding to commence, and in prosecuting, litigation on such Receivable as is applied and followed with respect to like accounts serviced by it that are not owned by the Facility Agents’ (for the benefit of their respective Purchasers and ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇). The Facility Agents hereby authorize the Servicer and each Sub-Servicer, to the extent the Servicer deems it necessary or desirable, to bring suit in the name of the Servicer or the applicable Sub-Servicer, to collect on a Receivable or enforce the terms of its related Contract. In no event shall the Servicer or the Seller, as the case may be, be entitled to make or authorize any Person to make any Facility Agent, Purchaser or LC Bank a party to any litigation without such Facility Agent’s, Purchaser’s or LC Bank’s, as the case may be, express prior written consent.

(d) Facility Agents’ Rights to Enforce Receivables. At any time that a Control Event exists, the Facility Agents may, but shall have no obligation to, take any action or commence any proceeding to realize upon any Receivable, including, but not limited to, delivery to an Obligor of notice of the Facility Agents’ (for the benefit of their respective Purchasers and ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇) interest in the Receivables, any such action or commencement of proceeding to be at the sole expense of the Seller. At such time as the Servicer has any obligation to pursue the collection of Receivables and the Administrative Agent, the Facility Agents or any Purchaser or LC Bank possesses any documents necessary therefor, the Administrative Agent or such Facility Agent, Purchaser or LC Bank, as the case may be, agrees to furnish such documents to the Servicer, to the extent and for the period necessary for the Servicer to comply with its obligations hereunder.

Section 4.09. Complete Servicing Transfer.

(a) General. The Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Required Facility Agents shall, by notice in writing to the Seller, the Servicer and each Originator terminate the Servicer’s capacity as Servicer in respect of the Receivables (such termination referred to herein as a “Complete Servicing Transfer”) if a Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing or a Downgrade Event shall exist. Upon a Complete Servicing Transfer, the Originators’ duties as Sub-Servicers shall also be terminated. After a Complete Servicing

-66-

Transfer, the Administrative Agent (or its designee approved by the Facility Agents) may itself administer, service and collect the Receivables, and in such event, may retain the Servicing Fee for its own account, in any manner it sees fit, including, without limitation, by compromise, extension or settlement of such Receivables. Alternatively, the Facility Agents may engage affiliated or unaffiliated contractors to perform all or any part of the administration, servicing and collection of the Receivables and require the Seller to pay to such contractors all or a portion of the Servicing Fee in consideration thereof.

(b) Transition. The Servicer and each Originator, promptly but in no event later than twenty (20) days after receiving a notice pursuant to Section 4.09(a) hereof, shall, at the Seller’s sole expense, (x) deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Facility Agents or their designated agents (i) a schedule of the Receivables serviced by the Servicer or sub-serviced by such Originator, as the case maybe, in which the Facility Agents (for the benefit of their respective Purchasers and ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇) have a Receivable Interest indicating as to each such Receivable information as to the related Obligor, the Outstanding Balance as of such date of such Receivable and the location of the evidences of such Receivable, together with such other information as the Administrative Agent and the Facility Agents may reasonably request and (ii) true copies of such Receivables and such other Records related thereto (including, without limitation, true copies of all evidence of any computer tapes and data in computer memories), (y) permit the Administrative Agent and the Facility Agents reasonable access to the Servicer’s or such Originator’s premises, equipment and files and other Records relating to the Receivables and (z) to the extent not prohibited by contract or applicable Law, take all actions as are necessary to transfer or cause to be transferred to the Administrative Agent or its designated agent any software that relates to, and is necessary for the servicing of, such Receivables, in each case as the Administrative Agent and the Facility Agents may reasonably deem necessary to enable them to protect and enforce their rights and the rights of the Purchasers and ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ in the Receivable Interest. Following the termination of the Facility, the Administrative Agent and the Facility Agents or any of their applicable designated agents hereby agree to return to the Servicer any materials previously delivered pursuant to this Section 4.09(b) and still in their possession.

(c) Collections. If at any time there shall be a Complete Servicing Transfer, the terminated Servicer or each Originator will cause to be transmitted and delivered directly to the successor Servicer, promptly upon receipt and in the exact form received, all Collections (properly endorsed, where required, so that such items may be collected on behalf of the Facility Agents (for the benefit of their respective Purchasers and ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇)) to be distributed to the Facility Agents as provided herein. All such Collections consisting of cash shall not be commingled with other items or monies of the terminated Servicer or an Originator for a period longer than two Business Days after the Servicer’s knowledge of its receipt thereof. If the successor Servicer receives items or monies that are not payments on account of the Receivables, such items or monies shall be delivered promptly to the terminated Servicer after being so identified by or to such successor Servicer. After a Complete Servicing Transfer, each of the Seller, the terminated Servicer and each Originator hereby irrevocably grants the Administrative Agent or each of its designated agents, if any, an irrevocable power of attorney, with full power of substitution, coupled with an interest, to take in the name of the Seller or the terminated Servicer, as the case may be, all steps with respect to any Receivable which the Administrative Agent, after consultation with the Facility Agents, may deem reasonably necessary or advisable

-67-

to negotiate or otherwise realize on any right of any kind held or owned by the Seller or the terminated Servicer, as the case may be, or transmitted to or received by any Facility Agent or its designated agent (whether or not from the Seller or any Obligor) in connection with the Facility Agents’ (for the benefit their respective Purchasers and ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇) Receivable Interest, which power of attorney shall automatically terminate upon the termination of the Facility.

(d) Collection and Administration at Expense of the Seller. The Seller agrees that in the event of a Complete Servicing Transfer it will reimburse the Administrative Agent, each Facility Agent, each Purchaser and LC Bank for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ and accountants’ and other third parties’ fees and expenses, expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, such Facility Agent, such Purchaser or such LC Bank, as the case may be, expenses of litigation or preparation therefor, and expenses of audits and visits to the offices of the Seller or any Originator) incurred by the Administrative Agent, such Facility Agent, such Purchaser or such LC Bank in connection with the transfer of functions following a Complete Servicing Transfer whenever such expenses are incurred.

(e) Payments by Obligors. At any time, and from time to time, following a Complete Servicing Transfer, the Seller, the terminated Servicer and each Originator shall permit such Persons as the Administrative Agent, with the consent of the Facility Agents, may designate to open and inspect all mail received by the Seller or the terminated Servicer and reasonably believed to relate to the Receivables, and to remove from such mail any and all Collections.

(a) Each of the Servicer and each Originator, acting in its capacity as Sub-Servicer, shall instruct all Obligors to make all payments in respect of the Receivables to a Lockbox Account or a Depositary Account (either by check mailed to the relevant Depositary Bank or directly by wire transfer or electronic funds transfer to a Depositary Account), except to the extent that the Servicer or such Originator, in the normal course of its business and consistent with past and ongoing practices has accepted payments by credit card from Obligors or has permitted Obligors to remit payments directly to such Originator at its business locations for deposit to a Local Account or Blocked Local Account. Each of the Servicer and each Originator, acting in its capacity as Sub-Servicer, also shall have established separate collection systems that are intended to keep payments in respect of Excluded Receivables separate from payments in respect of the Receivables.

(b) The Seller and the Servicer shall have established the Lockboxes and related Lockbox Accounts and the Depositary Accounts specified on Schedule II hereto. The Seller and Servicer hereby agree as follows: (i) each Lockbox Account and Depositary Account shall be established in the name of the Seller as a segregated account and, except as provided in Section 7.02(l), the funds deposited therein from time to time shall not be commingled with any other funds of the Seller or any Affiliate thereof; (ii) each Lockbox Account and Depositary Account shall be maintained with a Depositary Bank pursuant to the terms of the related Blocked Account Agreement; (iii) except as provided in Section 7.02(l), not to direct any funds other than Collections to be mailed to Lockboxes or deposited into related Lockbox Accounts or Depositary Accounts; (iv) not to change any Depositary Bank, any Blocked Account Agreement or the location of any Lockbox, Lockbox Account or Depositary Account without the consent of the Administrative Agent; and (v) if a Control Event exists, the Administrative Agent may, or shall

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the Account specified in the proviso in the definition of “Blocked Local Account” and for the period specified therein, the Seller and the Servicer will not be required to comply with the account requirements of this Section 4.10(c).

(e) The Administrative Agent shall have the right at any time to establish the Collection Account. On or after the Control Date, the Administrative Agent shall direct the Depositary Banks to transfer funds in their respective Accounts to the Collection Account within two (2) Business Days of deposit into the respective Accounts.

-69-

provide such information to the Administrative Agent on such Business Day; provided that, on each Business Day following a Control Event the Servicer shall provide such information to the Administrative Agent on a daily basis. The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that due to the Servicer’s systems limitations, the data reported in the Monthly Report (and, if applicable, the Weekly Report) with respect to sales generated by Originators and Collections will include cash sales. For the avoidance of doubt, proceeds of cash sales remain the property of the applicable Originators, and do not constitute Collections.

(g) If the Seller or the Servicer determines that it is advisable to add or close any Account, the Servicer shall provide written notice of such determination to the Administrative Agent at least 30 days prior to the date on which such addition or closure is proposed to take effect.

The Parent hereby unconditionally guarantees the punctual payment and performance when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all obligations of (a) ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and its successor legal entities, in its capacities as Originator, Servicer and the party requesting Letters of Credit, and (b) the other Originators and their successor legal entities, in their respective capacities as Originators and sub-servicers and parties on behalf of which the Seller will request Letters of Credit hereunder, now or hereafter existing under the Transaction Documents, whether for Collections, repurchase, indemnification payments, fees, expenses or otherwise (such obligations being the “Obligations”), and agrees to pay any and all reasonable and properly documented out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees and expenses) incurred by any Beneficiary in enforcing any rights under this Parent Undertaking, together with interest on such amounts from the time when the Parent was notified that such amounts were due, based on a 365-day year, at a rate per annum for each day equal to 2.00% over the Alternate Base Rate on such day. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Parent’s liability shall extend to all amounts which constitute part of the Obligations and would be owed by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or any Originator to the Seller or any Beneficiary under any Transaction Document but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or such Originator as debtor. For the avoidance of doubt, the obligations of the Parent under this Parent Undertaking do not include losses in respect to Receivables that are uncollectible on account of the insolvency, bankruptcy or lack of creditworthiness of the related Obligor.

Section 5.02. Guaranty Absolute. The Parent guarantees that the Obligations will be performed or paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the applicable Transaction Documents, regardless of the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Beneficiary with respect thereto. The obligations of the Parent under this Parent Undertaking are independent of the Obligations, and a

-73-

separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against the Parent to enforce this Parent Undertaking, irrespective of whether any action is brought against ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or any Originator, as the case may be, or whether ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or such Originator is joined in any such action or actions. The liability of the Parent under this Parent Undertaking shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:

(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Transaction Document, or any agreement or instrument relating thereto;

(b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from any Transaction Document, including, without limitation, any increase in the Obligations resulting from additional Purchases or Issuances/ Modifications of Letters of Credit or otherwise;

(c) any failure or omission to enforce any right, power or remedy with respect to the Obligations or any part thereof or any agreement relating thereto, or any collateral securing the Obligations or any part thereof;

(d) any waiver of any right, power or remedy or of any default with respect to the Obligations or any part thereof or any agreement relating thereto;

(e) any taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of any collateral, or any taking, release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other guaranty, for all or any of the Obligations;

(f) any manner of application of collateral, or proceeds thereof, to all or any of the Obligations, or any manner of sale or other disposition of any collateral for all or any of the Obligations or any other assets of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, any Originator or any of their respective Subsidiaries;

(g) the existence of any claim, setoff or other rights which the Parent may have at any time against ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or any Originator in connection herewith or any unrelated transaction;

(h) any assignment or transfer of the Obligations or any part thereof permitted under the Purchase and Contribution Agreement, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document;

(i) any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, any Originator or any of their respective Subsidiaries; or

(j) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or any Originator.

-74-

Section 5.03. Waiver. (a) The Parent hereby waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance and any other notice with respect to any of the Obligations and this Parent Undertaking and any requirement that any Beneficiary protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien or any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, any Originator or any other Person or entity or any collateral.

(b) The Parent irrevocably and unconditionally abandons and waives any rights which it may have at any time under the existing or future laws of Jersey: (i) whether by virtue of the droit de discussion or otherwise to require that recourse be had by the beneficiaries of this Parent Undertaking to the assets of any other person before any claim is enforced against it in respect of the obligations assumed by it under this Parent Undertaking; and (ii) whether by virtue of the droit de division or otherwise to require that any liability under any guarantee or indemnity contained in this Parent Undertaking be divided or apportioned with any other person or reduced in any manner whatsoever.

(c) The Parent hereby waives any right to revoke this Parent Undertaking, and acknowledges that this Parent Undertaking is continuing in nature and applies to all Obligations, whether existing now or in the future.

(d) The Parent acknowledges that it will receive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by the Transaction Documents and that the waivers set forth in this Section 5.03 are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

Section 5.04. Subrogation. The Parent will not exercise any rights which it may acquire by way of subrogation under this Parent Undertaking, by any payment made hereunder or otherwise, until all the Obligations and other amounts payable under this Parent Undertaking shall have been paid in full and the Facility Termination shall have occurred. If any amount shall be paid to the Parent on account of such subrogation rights at any time prior to the later of (x) the payment in full of the Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Parent Undertaking and (y) the date after the Termination Date that all Aggregate Unpaids are paid in full, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Beneficiaries and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent to be credited and applied to the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the applicable Transaction Document or to be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral security for any Obligations thereafter existing. If (i) the Parent shall make payment to the Beneficiaries of all or any part of the Obligations, (ii) all the Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Parent Undertaking shall be paid in full and (iii) the date after the Termination Date that all Aggregate Unpaids are paid in full shall have occurred, the Administrative Agent and the Facility Agents on behalf of their respective Beneficiaries will, at the Parent’s request, execute and deliver to the Parent appropriate documents, without recourse and without representation or warranty, necessary to evidence the transfer by subrogation to the Parent of an interest in the Obligations resulting from such payment by the Parent.

Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Facility Agents, the other Purchasers and ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Conduit Purchaser, any Committed Purchaser, any LC Bank or any Facility Agent with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Party which may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.

Each of the Committed Purchasers and ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ expressly acknowledges that neither its Facility Agent (or any other Facility Agent) nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by

Section 9.05. Administrative Agent, Facility Agents and Affiliates. RBC, each Facility Agent and their respective Affiliates may generally engage in any kind of business with any ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Party or any Obligor, any of their respective Affiliates and any Person who may do business with or own securities of any ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Party or any Obligor or any of their respective Affiliates, all as if such parties did not have the agency agreements contemplated by this Agreement and without any duty to account therefor to the Purchasers or the ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇.

Section 9.06. Indemnification. (a) The Committed Purchasers and ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ in each Purchase Groups (proportionately, among the Purchase Groups, in accordance with their respective Purchase Group Percentages) severally agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Seller or the Servicer), 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 the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement; provided, that (i) no Committed Purchaser or LC Bank shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting or arising from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable order and (ii) no Committed Purchaser or LC Bank shall be liable for any amount in respect of any compromise or settlement or any of the foregoing unless such compromise or settlement is approved by the Facility Agents. Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, the Committed Purchasers and ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ in each Purchase Groups (proportionately, among the Purchase Groups, in accordance with their respective Purchase Group Percentages) agree to reimburse the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Seller or the Servicer),

promptly upon demand, for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement; provided, that no Purchaser or LC Bank shall be responsible for the costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent in defending itself against any claim alleging the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent to the extent such gross negligence or willful misconduct is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision.

(b) Each Purchaser and LC Bank also agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Purchaser or LC Bank (but only to the extent that the Seller has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Seller to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Purchaser’s or LC Bank’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 11.02 relating to the maintenance of a participant register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Purchaser or LC Bank, in each case that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Transaction Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.

Section 9.07. Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving at least sixty days’ written notice thereof to the Purchasers, the ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, the Facility Agents, the Seller, Originators, the Servicer and the Parent. Upon the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Seller shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent approved by the Facility Agents (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Seller, and shall have accepted such appointment, within thirty days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s delivery of notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may appoint a successor Administrative Agent which, if such successor Administrative Agent is not an Affiliate of any of the Facility Agents, is approved by the Seller (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and which successor Administrative Agent shall be (a) a commercial bank having a combined capital and surplus of at least $250,000,000 and (b) experienced in the types of transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder, the provisions of this Article IX shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement.

Section 9.08. Erroneous Payments. (a) If the Administrative Agent notifies a Purchaser (any such Purchaser, a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has determined in its reasonable sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise

-101-

erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Payment Recipient) (any such funds, whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof) (provided that, without limiting any of its other rights or remedies (whether at law or in equity), the Administrative Agent may not make any such demand under this clause (a) with respect to an Erroneous Payment unless such demand is made within 10 Business Days of the date of receipt of such Erroneous Payment by the applicable Payment Recipient), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and such Payment Recipient shall promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent demonstrable error.

(b) Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Payment Recipient hereby further agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Payment Recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted to it, or received by it, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), then:

(i) (A) in the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Administrative Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and

(ii) such Payment Recipient shall (and shall cause any of its Affiliates that receives all or a portion of such payment, prepayment or repayment on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of such error) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 9.08(b).

(c) Each Payment Recipient hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Payment Recipient under any

-102-

Transaction Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Payment Recipient from any source, against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under the immediately preceding clause (a) or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement. In addition, each party hereto agrees that, irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, the Administrative Agent shall be contractually subrogated to all the rights and interests of the applicable Payment Recipient under the Transaction Documents with respect to each Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof that is not returned to the Administrative Agent as provided herein) (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”).

(d) The parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any obligations owed by the Seller, any Originator, the Servicer, the Parent or any Facility Agent to the Administrative Agent; provided that this Section 9.08 shall not be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for), or have the effect of increasing (or accelerating the due date for), the obligations of the Seller, any Originator the Servicer or the Parent relative to the amount (and/or timing for payment) of the Aggregate Capital and other obligations that would have been payable had such Erroneous Payment not been made by the Administrative Agent; provided, further, that for the avoidance of doubt, this clause (d) shall not apply to the extent any 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, any Originator, the Servicer or the Parent for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.

(e) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.

(f) Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 9.08 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Purchaser, the termination of the Purchase Group Maximum Net Investments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations of the Seller (or any portion thereof) under any Transaction Document.

Any notice claiming compensation under this Section shall set forth in reasonable detail the amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder and shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The Seller may participate in and assume the defense and settlement of any such suit, action, claim, proceeding or investigation at its expense, and no settlement thereof shall be made without the approval of the Seller and such Indemnified Party. The approval of the Seller and such Indemnified Party will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. After notice from the Seller to the Indemnified Party of its intention to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Facility Agents, and so long as the

-105-

Seller so assumes the defense thereof in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Facility Agents, the Seller shall not be liable for any legal expenses of counsel unless there shall be a conflict between the interests of the Seller and the Indemnified Party, in which case the Indemnified Party(ies) shall have the right to employ one counsel to so represent it (them).

(c) The Seller will promptly pay to the Facility Agent for the Indemnified Party such indemnity amount as shall be specified to the Seller in a certificate of the Indemnified Party (or its Facility Agent, on its behalf) setting forth the calculations of such amount, together with the basis therefor. Any such certificate submitted by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(d) Each Indemnified Party, on behalf of itself, its assigns, officers, directors, officers and employees, shall use its good faith efforts to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any losses, expenses or claims for indemnification.

Section 10.02. Indemnity for Taxes. (a) 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 Seller) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by the Seller, then the Seller 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 10.02) the applicable Indemnified Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b) The Seller shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the written request of the applicable Indemnified Party timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(c) The Seller shall indemnify each Indemnified Party, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 10.02) payable or paid by such Indemnified Party or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Indemnified Party and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. The Administrative Agent and each Facility Agent will promptly notify the Seller of any event of which it has knowledge, which will entitle it or any Person in its Purchase Group to compensation pursuant to this Section 10.02; provided, however, that failure of any Indemnified Party to demand indemnification for any Taxes shall not constitute a waiver of such right to indemnification, except that the Seller shall not be required to indemnify an Indemnified Party for Taxes under this Section 10.02 unless such Indemnified Party notifies the Seller of such claim no later than 180 days after such Indemnified Party has knowledge of such Taxes being

-106-

imposed or arising. Any notice claiming compensation under this Section 10.02 shall set forth in reasonable detail the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder and shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Absent manifest error, the Seller shall be obligated to any claim for Indemnified Taxes promptly upon receipt of such notice.

(d) Each Indemnified Party agrees that it will use reasonable efforts to reduce or eliminate any claim for indemnity pursuant to this Section 10.02 including, subject to applicable Law, a change in the funding office of such Indemnified Party; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall obligate any Indemnified Party to take any action that imposes on such Indemnified Party any additional costs (without reimbursement) or imposes legal or regulatory burdens which such Indemnified Party reasonably considers material, nor which, in such Indemnified Party’s reasonable opinion, would have an adverse effect on its business, operations or financial condition.

(e) 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 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including 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 subsection (e) 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 subsection (e), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this subsection (e) 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 the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This subsection (e) 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 10.03. Indemnity by Originators. (a) Each Originator shall indemnify the Indemnified Parties for all Losses (other than recourse for uncollectible Receivables) resulting from:

(i) False or incorrect representations, warranties or certifications of such Originator in this Agreement or any document delivered pursuant to this Agreement; and

(ii) Failure by such Originator to perform any of its duties or other obligations or comply with any of its covenants under this Agreement.

-107-

(b) Promptly upon receipt by any Indemnified Party under this Section 10.03 of notice of the commencement of any suit, action, claim, proceeding or governmental investigation against such Indemnified Party, such Indemnified Party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any Originator hereunder, notify such Originator in writing of the commencement thereof. Any notice claiming compensation under this Section 10.03 shall set forth in reasonable detail the amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder and shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Any affected Originator may participate in and assume the defense and settlement of any such suit, action, claim, proceeding or investigation at its expense, and no settlement thereof shall be made without the approval of such Originator and the Indemnified Party. The approval of such affected Originator will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. After notice from an affected Originator to the Indemnified Party of its intention to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Facility Agents, and so long as such Originator so assumes the defense thereof in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Facility Agents, such Originator shall not be liable for any legal expenses of counsel unless there shall be a conflict between the interests of such Originator and the Indemnified Party, in which case the Indemnified Party(ies) shall have the right to employ one counsel to so represent it (them).

(c) Each affected Originator will promptly pay to the Facility Agent for the Indemnified Party such indemnity amount as shall be specified to such Originator in a certificate of the Indemnified Party (or its Facility Agent, on its behalf) setting forth the calculations of such amount, together with the basis therefor. Any such certificate submitted by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

Section 10.04. Expenses. The Seller agrees, promptly following receipt of a written invoice, to pay or cause to be paid, and to save each Purchaser, each LC Bank, each Facility Agent and the Administrative Agent harmless against liability for the payment of, (a) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (excluding salaries and overhead costs) incurred by or on behalf of any Purchaser, any LC Bank, any Facility Agent and the Administrative Agent in connection with the negotiation, execution, delivery and preparation of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated by or undertaken pursuant to or in connection herewith or therewith (including, without limitation, rating agency fees, the reasonable fees of Protiviti Inc. in conducting the agreed-upon procedures, and the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel of one law firm representing the Administrative Agent and the Facility Agents) and (b) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel from one law firm representing the Administrative Agent and the Facility Agents), including all reasonable costs and expenses actually incurred by or on behalf of any Purchaser, any LC Bank, any Facility Agent and the Administrative Agent from time to time (i) relating to any requested amendments, waivers or consents under the Transaction Documents, (ii) arising in connection with the Purchasers’, the ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇’, the Facility Agents’ or the Administrative Agent’s enforcement or preservation of their respective rights (including, without limitation, the perfection and protection of the Receivable Interest)

-108-

under the Transaction Documents, (iii) relating to audit and due diligence fees (limited as provided in Section 4.06 hereof) or (iv) relating to the maintenance of the transactions contemplated by or undertaken pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents.

(iv) reduce fees payable by the Seller to the Facility Agents or the Purchasers, or delay the dates on which such fees are payable;

(v) extend the Scheduled Termination Date (except as extended in accordance with the terms of this Agreement);

(vi) change any of the provisions of this Section 11.01 or the definition of “Required Facility Agents”; or

(vii) change the first sentence of Section 11.02;

and provided, further, that no amendment, waiver or consent shall (a) increase the Purchase Group Maximum Net Investment of a Purchase Group or reduce the amount of Net Investment of, or Yield or fees payable to, any Purchase Group unless in writing and signed by the Facility Agent for such Purchase Group and its related Purchasers, (b) affect the rights of the Swingline Purchaser, including by the increase of the Swingline Sublimit, the reduction of the amount of the Swingline Reimbursement Purchase or Yield on the Swingline Purchase unless in writing signed by the Swingline Purchaser or (c) affect the rights of any ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, including by the reduction of the amount of the Reimbursement Obligation or Yield thereon or any fees payable

-109-

with respect to the Letters of Credit issued by it, unless in writing signed by such LC Bank. Any waiver of any provision hereof, and any consent to a departure by the Seller, an Originator, the Servicer or the Parent from any of the terms of this Agreement, shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 11.01 to the contrary, any amendments or waivers of any provisions in this Agreement relating to a Term SOFR Replacement Event or Benchmark Replacement shall be governed by the provisions of Section 2.06.

To the extent that any Facility Agent for any Purchase Group determines that it (or the Conduit Purchaser(s) in such Purchase Group) is obligated by S&P or ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ to do so, such Facility Agent will provide S&P and/or ▇▇▇▇▇’▇, as applicable, with a copy of each amendment to this Agreement prior to the effectiveness thereof.

Section 11.02. Successors and Assigns; Assignments; Participations. (a) This Agreement shall be binding on the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that except as provided in Section 4.01(c), no ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Party may assign any of its rights or delegate any of its duties hereunder without the prior written consent of the Facility Agents. Each of the Purchasers may assign, (a) without any prior written consent, in whole or in part, its interest in the Receivables and obligations hereunder to any other then-existing Purchaser, any Support Provider or to any other Conduit Purchaser administered by its Facility Agent and (b) to any other Person, with the consent of the Seller and the Administrative Agent (and the ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ following the LC Effective Date), which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, that if a Termination Event exists, the Seller’s consent shall not be required. To effectuate an assignment hereunder, both the assignee and the assignor (including, as appropriate, its Facility Agent) will be required to execute and deliver to the Seller, the Servicer and the Administrative Agent an Assumption Agreement (or other writing acceptable to the remaining parties hereunder), which will require such assignee to, among other things, deliver the tax forms required by Section 11.07, agree to the confidentiality provisions of Section 11.19 and such assignment must be recorded in book entries. Following any assignment in accordance with the foregoing criteria, the Purchase Group Percentage and Purchase Group Maximum Net Investment of each Purchase Group hereunder (after giving effect to the assignment), and if applicable, the Swingline Sublimit, will be adjusted to such extent as may be necessary to reflect such assignment (and Schedule I hereto shall be deemed to be amended accordingly). The Seller, each Originator and the Parent hereby agree and consent to the complete assignment by the applicable Conduit Purchasers of all of their respective rights under, interest in, title to and obligations under the Transaction Documents to the respective collateral agent or trustee under the applicable Conduit Purchaser’s Commercial Paper programs.

(b) Any Committed Purchaser (including the Swingline Purchaser, in such capacity) may sell participating interests (each acquirer of a participating interest, a “Participant”) in its rights and obligations pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that the selling Committed Purchaser shall retain all rights and obligations under this Agreement and all parties to this Agreement shall continue to deal solely with such selling Committed Purchaser. Each agreement between a Committed Purchaser and a Participant shall provide that (i) such Committed Purchaser shall retain the sole right to enforce the Transaction Documents and to approve any

-110-

amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement (other than any amendment, modification or waiver of a provision described in clause (ii) in Section 11.01 that affects such Participant), (ii) such Participant shall be entitled to receive no greater indemnity amounts than its related Committed Purchaser would have been entitled to receive (unless the Seller consents to such Participant’s receipt of such greater amounts), and (iii) such Participant provide its related Committed Purchaser with the applicable tax forms that it would have had to provide under Section 11.07, if it were a Purchaser.

(c) Any Purchaser may at any time pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its rights (including, without limitation, any interests in the Receivable Interest and any rights to payment of Net investment and Yield) under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Purchaser to a Federal Reserve Bank, without notice to or consent of any ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Party; provided, that no such pledge or grant of a security interest shall release a Purchaser from any of its obligations hereunder, or substitute any such pledgee or grantee for such Purchaser as a party hereto.

(d) An LC Bank may assign its interests, rights and obligations as an LC Bank under this Agreement only with the consent of the Seller.

(e) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Seller (in such role, “Registrar”), shall maintain a register (a “Register”) for the Purchases, on which it will record the name and address of each applicable Purchase Group and the Purchaser(s) therein (including any assignees), the related Purchase Group Maximum Net Investment, the Net Investment owing to each Purchase Group under this Agreement and any other information necessary to ensure that the Purchases are maintained “in registered form” within the meaning of Treasury regulations section 5f.103-1(c). The entries in each Register will be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Seller, the Servicer, the Administrative Agent and the applicable Facility Agent and Purchasers will treat each Person whose name is recorded in a Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the Purchasers hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Registrar shall update the applicable Register promptly upon receiving written notice from any Purchaser (or its Facility Agent) of an assignment of such Purchaser’s interests and obligations hereunder, and no such assignment shall be effective until reflected in the related Register. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Seller, the Servicer and each other Purchaser and Facility Agent at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. In the event that the Purchase Group Percentage for any Purchase Group is adjusted in accordance with any assignment in accordance with Section 11.02(a), the Registrar shall update the applicable Register to reflect the updated Purchase Group Percentage for each such Purchase Group.

(f) In the event that any Committed Purchaser sells a participation of its rights and obligations hereunder, such Committed Purchaser shall maintain a register (the “Participant Register”) on which it will record the name and address of each participant, the portion of the Purchase Group Net Investment (if any) of such Participant, and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in such rights and obligations, and any other information necessary to ensure that the Purchases are maintained “in registered form” within the meaning of Treasury regulations section 5f.103-1(c). The entries in the Participant Register will be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Committed Purchaser will treat each Person whose

-111-

name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement. Such Committed Purchaser shall update the Participant Register promptly upon a sale of a participation of such Committed Purchaser’s rights and obligations hereunder, and no such sale of a participation shall be effective until reflected in the Participant Register. Such Committed Purchaser will not have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that the Advances are maintained “in registered form” within the meaning of Treasury regulations section 5f.103-1(c). The Registrar and the Administrative Agent shall not have any responsibility to monitor, track or record any such participation of a Committed Purchaser’s participation.

Section 11.03. No Implied Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No course of dealing and no delay or failure of any Purchaser, any LC Bank, any Facility Agent or the Administrative Agent in exercising any right, power or privilege under the Transaction Documents shall affect any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right, power or privilege preclude any further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Facility Agents, Purchasers and the ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ under the Transaction Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which the Administrative Agent, any Facility Agent, any Purchaser or any LC Bank would otherwise have.

Section 11.04. No Discharge. The respective obligations of the Seller, the Originators, the Servicer and the Parent under the Transaction Documents shall be absolute and unconditional and shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be released, discharged or in any way affected by (a) any exercise or nonexercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege under or in respect of the Transaction Documents or applicable Law, including, without limitation, any failure to set-off or release in whole or in part by the Administrative Agent, any Facility Agent, any Purchaser or any LC Bank of any balance of any deposit account or credit on its books in favor of any ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Party, as the case may be, or any waiver, consent, extension, indulgence or other action or inaction in respect of any thereof, or (b) any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which could operate as a discharge of any ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Party as a matter of Law.

Section 11.05. [Reserved] .

Section 11.06. Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Party or any Obligor makes a payment to a Purchaser or an LC Bank, or a Purchaser or LC Bank exercises its rights of set-off, and such payment or set-off or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by, or is required to be refunded, rescinded, returned, repaid or otherwise restored to such ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Party, such Obligor, a trustee, a receiver or any other Person under any Law, including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, any state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall, to the extent of any such restoration, be reinstated, revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made

-112-

or such set-off had not occurred. The provisions of this Section 11.06 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Section 11.07. Tax Forms and Status. (a) Each Purchaser and each LC Bank agrees to provide the Seller, the Servicer, the Administrative Agent and the Facility Agent for such Purchaser and LC Bank with (A) (x) two appropriately executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, or any successor form, on the date hereof (or, if later, on the date on which it becomes a Purchaser or LC Bank under this Agreement) certifying that such Purchaser or LC Bank is exempt from U.S. backup withholding or (y) two appropriate executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or alternatively, Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN), or any successor forms, (i) on the date hereof (or, if later, the date on which it becomes an Purchaser or LC Bank under this Agreement), and (ii) upon the occurrence of any event that would require the amendment or resubmission of any such Form previously provided hereunder and (B) any other forms, certificates or information in connection therewith requested by the Seller, the Servicer, the Administrative Agent or the Facility Agent for such Purchaser or LC Bank.

(b) If a payment made to a Purchaser under this Agreement would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Purchaser 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 Purchaser shall deliver to the Seller, the Servicer and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Seller or Servicer 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, the Servicer or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Seller, the Servicer and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Purchaser has complied with such Purchaser’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for the purposes of this clause (b), FATCA shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Purchaser and each LC Bank agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Seller, the Servicer, and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

Section 11.08. Replacement of Purchase Groups. If (i) any Conduit Purchaser’s Commercial Paper ceases to have a short-term debt rating of “A-1” or better by S&P, “P-1” or better by ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ or “F-1” or better from Fitch Ratings (but only if such Conduit Purchaser’s Commercial Paper is then rated by such Rating Agency, (ii) any Purchase Group includes a Defaulting Purchaser, or (iii) any Purchase Group makes an claim for indemnity pursuant to Section 2.14 (but not all Purchase Groups make such a claim)], as long as no Potential Termination Event or Termination Event then exists (or would occur after giving effect to any termination of a Purchase Group), upon notice to the related Facility Agent and the Administrative Agent, the Seller shall have the right to terminate the interests, rights and obligations of such Purchaser and its Purchase Group or require each Purchaser in such Facility

-113-

Agent’s Purchase Group to assign and delegate, without recourse, all of its respective interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Eligible Purchaser, or other Purchaser acceptable to the Administrative Agent, that shall execute an Assumption Agreement and, if applicable, shall not have the same cause to make a claim for indemnity pursuant to Section 2.14 or Section 10.02; provided, that each member of such terminated or assigning Purchase Group shall have received payment of an amount equal to all outstanding Net Investment, Yield in respect thereof, accrued and unpaid fees and all other Aggregate Unpaids payable to it hereunder, from the Seller or the assignee, as the case may be; and provided further, that if such terminated or assigning Purchase Group includes an LC Bank whose Letters of Credit will remain outstanding after such termination or assignment, as applicable, (i) the Seller makes a deposit to the ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Collateral Account in an amount equal to the aggregate Stated Amount of such outstanding and undrawn Letters of Credit and (ii) such LC Bank (a) will remain a party hereto and shall continue to have the rights and obligations of an LC Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such termination or assignment, other than the right to receive the Used Fee or the Unused Fee, and (b) will have no LC Bank Sublimit and no obligation to issue additional Letters of Credit. The Seller agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Letters of Credit issued by a LC Bank which is a member of a terminated or assigning Purchase Group to be terminated and replaced. The Administrative Agent shall (1) apply funds deposited to the ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Collateral Account pursuant to this Section 11.08 to satisfy, as necessary, the Seller’s Reimbursement Obligations or the Required ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Collateral Amount, and (2) transfer funds deposited in the ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Collateral Account pursuant to this Section 11.08 to the Seller to the extent they exceed the sum of the aggregate Stated Amount of the outstanding and undrawn Letters of Credit of the ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ in the terminated or assigning Purchase Group and the amounts drawn on such Letters of Credit which have been reimbursed to such ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇.

Section 11.09. No Petition. Each party hereto agrees, for the benefit of the holders of the privately or publicly placed indebtedness of borrowed money of any Conduit Purchaser not, prior to the date which is one (1) year and one (1) day after the payment in full of all such indebtedness, to acquiesce, petition or otherwise, directly or indirectly, invoke, or cause such Conduit Purchaser to invoke, the process of any Official Body for the purpose of (a) commencing or sustaining a case against such Conduit Purchaser under any federal or state bankruptcy insolvency or similar law (including the Federal Bankruptcy Code), (b) appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official for such Conduit Purchaser or any substantial part of the property of such Person, or (c) ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of such Conduit Purchaser.

Section 11.10. No Recourse. The obligations of each Conduit Purchaser, under this Agreement shall be payable solely out of the funds of such Conduit Purchaser available for such purpose and shall be solely the corporate or limited liability company obligations of such Conduit Purchaser. No recourse shall be had for the payment of any amount owing by a Conduit Purchaser in respect of this Agreement or for the payment of any fee hereunder or for any other obligation or claim arising out of or based upon this Agreement against any Affected Party, any Facility Agent, the Administrative Agent, any Affiliate of any of the foregoing, or any stockholder, employee, officer, director, incorporator or beneficial owner of any of the foregoing.

-114-

Section 11.11 Holidays. Except as may be otherwise provided in this Agreement, if any payment due hereunder shall be due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall instead be due on the next Business Day.

Section 11.12. Records. Except as may be otherwise provided in this Agreement to the contrary, all amounts calculated or due hereunder shall be determined from the records of the Administrative Agent or Facility Agent, which determinations shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

Section 11.13. Term of Agreement. This Agreement shall terminate on the date of Facility Termination; provided, however, that (i) the indemnification and payment provisions set forth in Sections 2.14, 4.13 and 11.06 and Article X hereof and (ii) the agreement set forth in Section 11.09 and the limitations set forth in Section 11.10 hereof shall be continuing and shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

Section 11.14. Notices. (a) All notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications (collectively “notices”) under the provisions of this Agreement shall be in writing (including electronic communication) unless otherwise expressly permitted hereunder and shall be sent by first-class mail, first-class express mail, courier, electronic mail or other mutually acceptable method of electronic delivery, in all cases with charges prepaid. All notices shall be sent to the applicable party at the notice addresses appearing on the signature page hereof (in the case of each of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Parties and the Administrative Agent) or on Schedule I hereto (in the case of the Facility Agents, the Purchasers and the ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇) or in accordance with the last unrevoked written direction from such party to the other parties hereto.

(b) All notices and other communications given to any party hereto in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been given on the date of receipt. Notices sent by e-mail shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgment from the intended recipient.

Section 11.15. Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are intended to be severable. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part in any jurisdiction, such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without in any manner affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction or the remaining provisions hereof in any jurisdiction.

Section 11.16. Prior Understandings. This Agreement sets forth the entire understanding of the parties relating to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior understandings and agreements, whether written or oral.

Section 11.17. Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York (including Section 5-1401 and Section 5-1402 of the General Obligations Law of the State of New York, but otherwise without regard to Choice of Laws Principles thereof). Each party hereto hereby submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the federal courts for the Southern District of New York for the purpose of adjudicating any claim or controversy arising in connection with any of

-115-

the Transaction Documents or any of the transactions contemplated thereby, and for such purpose, to the extent they may lawfully do so, waive any objection which each may now or hereafter have to such jurisdiction or to venue therein and any claim of inconvenient forum with respect thereto.

Section 11.18. Counterparts; Electronic Signature. This Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and any document, amendment, approval, consent, information, notice, certificate, request, statement, disclosure or authorization related to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (each a “Communication”), including Communications required to be in writing, may be in the form of an Electronic Record (as defined below) and may be executed using Electronic Signatures (as defined below). Each of the parties hereto agrees that any Electronic Signature on or associated with any Communication shall be valid and binding on it to the same extent as a manual, original signature, and that any Communication entered into by Electronic Signature, will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation enforceable against it in accordance with the terms thereof to the same extent as if a manually executed original signature was delivered. Any Communication may be executed in as many counterparts as necessary or convenient, including both paper and electronic counterparts, but all such counterparts are one and the same Communication. For the avoidance of doubt, the authorization under this paragraph may include, without limitation, use or acceptance by any Facility Agent or the Administrative Agent of a manually signed paper Communication which has been converted into electronic form (such as scanned into PDF format), or an electronically signed Communication converted into another format, for transmission, delivery and/or retention. Each Facility Agent and the Administrative Agent may, at its option, create one or more copies of any Communication in the form of an imaged Electronic Record (“Electronic Copy”), which shall be deemed created in the ordinary course of such Person’s business, and destroy the original paper document. All Communications in the form of an Electronic Record, including an Electronic Copy, shall be considered an original for all purposes, and shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a paper record (to the extent permitted by applicable law). Each party shall be entitled to rely on any Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on behalf any other party without further verification and (b) upon the request of any party, any Electronic Signature shall be promptly followed by such manually executed counterpart. For purposes hereof, “Electronic Record” and “Electronic Signature” shall have the meanings assigned to them, respectively, by 15 USC §7006, as it may be amended from time to time.

Section 11.19. Confidentiality. Each ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Party agrees to keep the information contained in the Transaction Documents that relates to Yield, fees and other pricing terms strictly confidential. Each Purchaser, each LC Bank, each Facility Agent and the Administrative Agent shall keep all non-public information obtained pursuant to the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated or otherwise relating to the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Party hereby or thereby or effected in connection herewith or therewith confidential and will not disclose such information to outside parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any party hereto may make disclosure (i) if it is obligated to do so pursuant to a request or order under any Law or pursuant to a subpoena or other legal process; (ii) if it is requested to do so by any regulatory authority; (iii) in the case of the Facility Agents, the Purchasers and the ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, to bank examiners, and to potential assignees and participants; (iv) to its Affiliates, to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees, agents, auditors, counsel, equity holders and advisors; (v) in connection with any

-116-

litigation or dispute or the exercise of any remedies under the Transaction Documents; (vi) to any rating agency; or (vii) by way of posting a copy of this Agreement on any website maintained by such party pursuant to the commitment to any Rating Agency relating to such party’s debt rating if required under 17 CFR 240.17g5(a)(3), subject to, in the case of each of clause (iii), (iv), (v) and (vi), reasonable efforts to cause the recipient of such proprietary information to keep it confidential.

Section 11.20. USA Patriot Act. Each Committed Purchaser that is subject to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”) hereby notifies the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Parties, which information includes the name and address of each of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Parties and other information that will allow such Committed Purchaser to identify each of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Parties in accordance with the Act.

Section 11.21. Acquisitions. At such time as any Originator acquires the assets of another Person, including that Person’s receivables (such receivables, together with receivables generated by that Person after its acquisition by such Originator as well as receivables generated by such Originator through the business groups/branches/division of that Person, until their respective Inclusion Dates, collectively, “Acquisition Receivables”), the Servicer shall notify the Facility Agents. At such time as the Acquisition Receivables relating to a particular acquisition are first reported on an Approved Data Reporting System (which, in some cases, may be their date of acquisition), such Acquisition Receivables will become Receivables hereunder and under the Purchase and Contribution Agreement (each such time, the “Inclusion Date”). In connection with each Inclusion Date, the Required Facility Agents will promptly determine, which determination will be evidenced in writing from the Required Facility Agents, after receipt from the Seller and such Originator of appropriate data and conducting of any necessary due diligence, whether the applicable Acquisition Receivables may be considered to be Eligible Receivables; provided, however, that if, on the applicable Inclusion Date, such related Acquisition Receivables, together with other Acquisition Receivables which became Receivables hereunder on their respective Inclusion Dates during the 12-month period ending the last day of month preceding such Inclusion Date (with the Outstanding Balance of each pool of Acquisition Receivables determined at the applicable Inclusion Date), are less than 5.0% of the average Outstanding Balance of all Receivables during such 12-month period (before giving effect to such most recent Inclusion Date) satisfy all eligibility criteria, then such Receivables shall automatically be determined to be “Eligible Receivables”.

-117-

Section 11.22. Waiver of Jury Trial. Each of the parties hereto waives its respective right to a trial by jury of any claim or cause of action based upon or arising out of or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in any action, proceeding or other litigation of any type brought by any of the parties against any other party or parties, whether with respect to contract claims, tort claims or otherwise. Each of the parties hereto agrees that any such claim or cause of action shall be tried by a bench trial without a jury. Without limiting the foregoing, each of the parties hereto further agrees that its respective right to a trial by jury is waived by operation of this Section 11.22 as to any action, counterclaim or other proceeding that seeks, in whole or in part, to challenge the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any provision hereof. This waiver shall apply to any subsequent amendments, renewals, supplements or modifications to this Agreement.

Section 11.23. Designated Excluded Receivables. (a) The Facility Agents agree that the receivables of the Designated Types specified on Schedule IV hereto shall be Designated Excluded Receivables. Schedule IV shall specify, for each Designated Type, the applicable Exclusion Date and the Originator(s) to which such Designated Types relate.

(b) The Seller shall have the right to add from time to time the receivables owing to an Originator of a Designated Type as Designated Excluded Receivables as of a specified Exclusion Date, upon satisfaction of the following conditions:

(i) the Seller (or the Servicer, on its behalf) shall provide the Facility Agents with a notice in substantially the form of Exhibit G hereto of its intention to add the receivables owing to an Originator of such Designated Type to the list of Designated Excluded Receivables, which notice shall be delivered not less than ten (10) Business Days before the Exclusion Date specified therein and shall further specify and include: (1) the Obligor name and customer number, or the Originator log-on location and log-on number, as applicable, of such Designated Type; (2) the applicable Originator(s) for such Designated Type’s receivables to be excluded; (3) an explanation of the reason for such addition; and (4) an updated Schedule IV (including the new Designated Excluded Receivables);

(ii) as of such Exclusion Date, no Termination Event or Potential Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing;

(iii) such designation of a new Designated Type shall not result in there being more than 8 such designations during the Lookback Period for such Exclusion Date;

(iv) such designation shall not have been made for reasons relating to the credit quality of the Receivables of such Designated Type or to manipulate the pool characteristics of the Receivables in a manner that would be expected to be materially adverse to the Purchasers; and

(v) (1) the sum of (x) the aggregate, for all Designated Types added to Schedule IV during the Lookback Period for such Exclusion Date, of the aggregate Outstanding Balances of the Receivables on the first Exclusion Date hereunder for each

-118-

such prior Designated Type, plus (y) the aggregate Outstanding Balance of Receivables on the first Exclusion Date with respect to such new Designated Type, plus (z) the aggregate Outstanding Balance of Receivables reconveyed to any Originator pursuant to Section 3.03 of the Purchase and Contribution Agreement during the Lookback Period for such Exclusion Date, would not exceed (2) 10.0% of the average aggregate Outstanding Balance of the Receivables (other than Excluded Receivables) on the last date of each calendar month in the Lookback Period for such Exclusion Date (all such calculations based on the information included in the Monthly Reports delivered during the relevant Lookback Periods).

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any Designated Type and its related Exclusion Date, all Receivables of that Designated Type which were generated prior to that Exclusion Date shall remain Receivables under this Agreement, the Purchase and Contribution Agreement and all other Program Agreements.

Section 11.24. Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Transaction Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Transaction Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(a)the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder that may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and

(b)the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

(i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

(ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; or

(iii)the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.

ARTICLE II

Purchases and Settlements

Section 2.01. General Terms; Intent of the Parties. (a) On each Purchase Date, in consideration for the Purchase Price and upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, each Originator does hereby sell to the Purchaser, without recourse (except to the extent expressly provided herein), and the Purchaser does hereby purchase from such Originator, all of such Originator’s right, title and interest in and to the Receivables originated by such Originator, the Related Security, Collections and all Proceeds of each of the foregoing (other than any such assets contributed to the Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.01(d) below), in each case, whether now existing or hereafter arising or acquired.

(b) The Receivables arising after the initial Purchase Date and while no Purchase Termination Event exists shall be deemed to have been sold by each Originator to the Purchaser immediately (and without further action by any Person) upon the creation of such Receivable by such Originator. Receivables arising while a Purchase Termination Event exists shall not be deemed to have been sold by any Originator to the Purchaser unless and until the first day thereafter on which no Purchase Termination Event exists. The Related Security and Collections with respect to each Receivable (and Proceeds of such Receivable, Related Security and Collections) shall be sold at the same time as such Receivable together with all related Proceeds received thereon.

(c) It is the intention of the parties hereto that each conveyance of Receivables made under this Agreement shall constitute an outright “sale of accounts” or “sale of general intangibles” (as such terms are used in Article 9 of the UCC) or other transfer, in each case which is absolute and irrevocable and shall provide the Purchaser with the full benefits of ownership of the Receivables and the associated Related Security, Collections and Proceeds. Each conveyance of Receivables hereunder is made without recourse to the applicable Originator and without any warranty of collectability or unconventional warranty; provided, however, that (i) each Originator will be liable to the Purchaser for all representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities made by such Originator to the Purchaser pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Documents to which such Originator is a party, and (ii) such conveyance does not constitute and is not intended to result in an assumption by the Purchaser or any assignee thereof of any obligation of such Originator or any other Person arising in connection with the Receivables, the associated Related Security or any other obligations of such Originator. In view of the intention of the parties hereto that the conveyances of Receivables made hereunder shall constitute outright sales or, in the case of Ferguson, contributions, of such Receivables rather

-8-

than loans secured thereby, each Originator agrees that it will, on or prior to the applicable initial Purchase Date, mark its Records to indicate that the Receivables have been sold or contributed.

(d) On the initial Purchase Date, Ferguson shall contribute Receivables generated by it having an aggregate Outstanding Balance of $200,000,000.00, together with associated Related Security, Collections and Proceeds, to the Purchaser’s capital. Thereafter, on each Purchase Date, Ferguson may, at its option, contribute to the Purchaser’s capital, in lieu of selling, Receivables originated by Ferguson and all associated Related Security, Collections and Proceeds, and any such contribution is made with the intention that each such contribution, if any, will be made with the same intentions as are set forth in Section 2.01(c) above. Except as provided in Section 2.02(a)(3), the Purchaser hereby acknowledges that Ferguson shall have no obligations to make capital contributions to Purchaser in respect of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ equity interest in Purchaser or otherwise in order to provide funds to pay the Purchase Price to Ferguson under this Agreement or for any other reason.

Section 2.01A. Certain Reconveyances. If Ferguson, as Servicer of the Receivables under the Receivables Purchase Agreement, determines in its reasonable judgment that (i) the filing of a mechanics lien or the making of a claim on a payment bond is necessary or advisable in order to collect a Receivable that is due from a contractor or (ii) it desires to recover any sales or similar tax paid with respect to a Receivable, Ferguson shall notify the Purchaser and the Originator which originated such Receivable and shall prepare the necessary documentation for filing such lien, claim or tax refund for signature by such Originator. Immediately prior to the execution of such documentation, and without any further action hereunder, the Purchaser shall be deemed to have sold all of its right, title and interest in and to such Receivable to such Originator (immediately following the Purchaser’s purchase thereof from the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement) (each such Receivable, a “Reassigned Receivable”) and such Originator shall be deemed to have repurchased such Receivable for a purchase price equal to a Participation Interest in such Reassigned Receivable (which such Originator shall be deemed to have sold), which shall entitle the Purchaser to receive from such Originator (by deposit into the Concentration Account or other Account subject to a Blocked Account Agreement) all Collections subsequently received with respect to such Reassigned Receivable, but only to the extent actually received. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no additional reconveyances of Receivables to any Originator pursuant to this Section shall occur (A) without the consent of the Administrative Agent, if a Control Event shall have occurred and be continuing or (B) if, during the 12-month period ending on the last day of the month preceding such sale, the sum of the aggregate Outstanding Balance (in each case determined as of the date of reconveyance) of Reassigned Receivables reconveyed hereunder to all Originators plus the Outstanding Balance of such additional Receivables in which a reconveyance is proposed under this Section would exceed 1% of the aggregate Outstanding Balance of the Receivables sold to the Purchaser hereunder by the Originators during such 12-month period.

Section 2.01B. Reconveyance of FFD Receivables.

(a) Effective as of the FFD Effective Time, after giving effect to the reconveyance and release provided in Section 2.01B of the Receivables Purchase Agreement, without recourse and without making any representation or warranty in connection therewith of

-9-

any type or kind (except with respect to liens as set forth below), the Seller hereby sells and assigns, without any further action being required on the part of any person or entity to effect such sale and assignment, to Ferguson Fire & Fabrication, Inc., and Ferguson Fire & Fabrication, Inc. hereby purchases and assumes from the Seller all of the right, title and interest of the Seller in and to the FFD Receivables, all Collections with respect thereto and all Related Security with respect thereto (the “FFD Assets”), free and clear of any and all liens in favor of the Seller or any other lien arising by or through the Seller; and all security interests granted to the Seller under any Transaction Document, to the extent they relate to FFD Assets, shall thereupon be released and terminate.

(b) As consideration for the retransfer of the FFD Receivables as of the FFD Effective Time, Ferguson Fire & Fabrication, Inc. will pay the Seller the fair market value of the FFD Receivables as of the FFD Effective Time, which amount shall be paid by reducing the principal amount of the Subordinated Note owed by the Seller to Ferguson Fire & Fabrication, Inc.

(c) The Seller acknowledges and agrees that on and after the FFD Effective Time, unless and until FFD is added as an “Originator” hereunder, the receivables generated by FFD will not be sold to the Seller pursuant to this Agreement and consequently, not sold, transferred or assigned by the Seller to the Facility Agents, for the benefit of their respective Purchasers, pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement.

Section 2.02. Purchase Price. (a) The purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) for the Receivables, Related Security, Collections and Proceeds payable on each Purchase Date to each Originator shall be equal to 100% of the aggregate Outstanding Balance of the Receivables conveyed by such Originator on that date multiplied by the Discount Factor. Each Originator and the Purchaser have each determined the Purchase Price payable on each Purchase Date approximates the fair value of the Receivables, Related Security, Collections and Proceeds sold by such Originator on such Purchase Date. Such Purchase Price will be payable in full by the Purchaser to such Originator on the related Purchase Date, and shall be paid to such Originator in the following manner:

(1) first, by delivery of immediately available funds, to the extent of the Available Funds;

(2) second, if such Originator has requested a Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.05, by the Purchaser’s requesting and delivering such Letter of Credit; and

(3) third, by increasing the amount of the applicable Subordinated Loan, so long as the aggregate principal amount of such Subordinated Loan, together with the aggregate principal amount of all Subordinated Loans owed by the Purchaser, does not cause the Purchaser’s tangible net worth to be less than the 6% of the aggregate Outstanding Balance of the Receivables then owned by the Purchaser.

(b) Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.02(a)(3), each Originator irrevocably agrees to make each increase in the amount of the Subordinated Loan owing to it as

-10-

contemplated in Section 2.02(a)(3), so long as no Purchase Termination Event exists. The Subordinated Loan owing to each Originator will be evidenced by, and shall be payable in accordance with the terms and provisions of the related Subordinated Note and any cash repayment of such Subordinated Loan shall be payable solely from Available Funds at the time of each such payment. Each Originator is hereby authorized by the Purchaser to maintain a record with respect to the related Subordinated Note, evidencing the date and amount of each increase in such Subordinated Loan thereunder, as well as the date of each payment with respect thereto, provided that the failure to maintain such a record shall not affect any obligation of the Purchaser thereunder.

(c) Although the Purchase Price for each Purchase of Receivables, Related Security, Collections and Proceeds shall be due and payable in full by the Purchaser to the applicable Originator on each Purchase Date on which Receivables are purchased from such Originator, settlement of the Purchase Price between the Purchaser and such Originator will be effected on each Distribution Date with respect to all Purchases from such Originator within the most recently ended Calculation Period. Although cash settlements shall be effected on each Distribution Date, increases or decreases in the Subordinated Loan owed to each Originator shall be deemed to have occurred and shall be effective as of the last Business Day of the Calculation Period to which such settlement relates.

(d) Each contribution of Receivables, Related Security, Collections and Proceeds by Ferguson to Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.01(d) shall be deemed to be a Purchase of such Receivables, Related Security, Collections and Proceeds by Purchaser for all purposes of this Agreement.

Section 2.03. Purchase Price Credits. On each Purchase Date, all Deemed Collections with respect to Receivables originated by any Originator shall be credited (each, a “Purchase Price Credit”) against the Purchase Price otherwise payable hereunder to such Originator. If, with respect to any Originator, the aggregate amount of Purchase Price Credits exceeds the Purchase Price of the Receivables to be sold by such Originator on such Purchase Date, then such Originator will pay to the Purchaser the remaining amount of such Purchase Price Credit in cash not later than the next Business Day; provided that if no Termination Event or a Potential Termination Event exists, such Originator may deduct the remaining amount of such Purchase Price Credit from any amount owed to it under the applicable Subordinated Note.

Section 2.04. Payments and Computations, Etc. All amounts to be paid or deposited by the Purchaser hereunder shall be paid or deposited in accordance with the terms hereof on the day when due in immediately available funds to the account of each Originator designated from time to time by such Originator. In the event that any payment owed by any Person hereunder becomes due on a day that is not a Business Day, then such payment shall be made on the next Business Day. If any Person fails to pay any amount hereunder when due, such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to pay, on demand, interest on the past due amount at the Default Rate until paid in full; provided, however, that such interest shall not at any time exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable Law. All computations of the Default Rate shall be calculated based on a 365/366 day year.

Section 2.05. Letters of Credit. (a) With respect to any Originator, upon its request and in accordance with Section 2.02, and subject to the terms and conditions for issuing Letters of Credit under the Receivables Purchase Agreement (including any limitations therein on the amount of any such issuance), the Purchaser agrees to cause the applicable LC Bank to issue, on the Purchase Date specified by such Originator, Letters of Credit on behalf of the Purchaser (and, if applicable, on behalf of, or for the account of, such Originator in favor of such beneficiaries as such Originator may elect). The aggregate Stated Amount of the Letters of Credit being issued on any Purchase Date at the request of an Originator shall constitute a credit against the aggregate Purchase Price otherwise payable by the Purchaser on such Purchase Date to such Originator pursuant to Section 2.02. To the extent that the aggregate Stated Amount of the Letters of Credit being issued on any Purchase Date exceeds the aggregate Purchase Price payable by the Purchaser to such Originator on such Purchase Date, such excess shall be deemed to be a reduction in the outstanding principal amount of (and, to the extent necessary, the accrued but unpaid interest on) the applicable Subordinated Note. The aggregate Stated Amount of Letters of Credit to be issued on any Purchase Date cannot exceed the sum of the aggregate Purchase Prices payable on such Purchase Date plus the aggregate outstanding principal amount of and accrued but unpaid interest on the Subordinated Notes on such Purchase Date. In the event that any Letter of Credit issued (i) expires or is cancelled or otherwise terminated with all or any portion of its Stated Amount undrawn or (ii) has its Stated Amount decreased (for a reason other than a drawing having been made thereunder) or that the Purchaser’s Reimbursement Obligation in respect of a Letter of Credit is reduced for any reason other than by virtue of a payment made in respect of a drawing thereunder, then an amount equal to such undrawn amount or such reduction, as the case may be, shall either be paid in cash to the applicable Originator on the next Purchase Date or, if the Purchaser does not then have cash available therefor, shall be deemed to be added to the outstanding principal amount of the Subordinated Note issued to such Originator. Under no circumstances shall any Originator (and no Affiliate thereof (other than the Company)) have any reimbursement or recourse obligations in respect of any Letter of Credit.

(b) In the event that an Originator requests a Letter of Credit hereunder, such Originator shall on a timely basis provide the Purchaser with such information as is necessary for the Purchaser to obtain such Letter of Credit from an LC Bank.

(c) Each Originator agrees to be bound by the terms of each Letter of Credit Application referenced in the Receivables Purchase Agreement and by an LC Bank’s interpretations of any Letter of Credit issued for the Purchaser and by the LC Bank’s written regulations and customary practices relating to letters of credit. The Purchaser agrees to enforce any rights that it has under the Receivables Purchase Agreement against an LC Bank in the event any Originator suffers any direct damages caused by such LC Bank’s failure to exercise care when honoring drafts under a Letter of Credit.

(d) Each Originator appoints the Servicer as its agent (on which appointment the Purchaser, the Facility Agents, the Administrative Agent, the ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ and the Purchasers may rely until such Originator provides contrary written notice to all of such Persons) to act on such Originator’s behalf to take all actions and to make all decisions in respect of the issuance, amendment and administration of the Letters of Credit, including, identification of the ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇

-12-

to issue the Letters of Credit, requests for the issuance and extension of Letters of Credit and the allocation of the Stated Amounts of Letters of Credit against the Purchase Price owed to particular Originators and against Subordinated Notes issued to particular Originators. In the event that the Servicer requests a Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms hereof and the Receivables Purchase Agreement, the Servicer shall on a timely basis provide the Purchaser with such information as is necessary for the Purchaser to obtain such Letter of Credit from an LC Bank, and shall notify the relevant Originator, the Purchaser and the Administrative Agent of the allocations described in the preceding sentence. Such allocations shall be binding on the Purchaser and each Originator, absent manifest error.

Section 2.06. Access to Records. (a) In connection with the transfer of Records hereunder, each Originator ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees that following any replacement of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ as the Servicer, it will promptly grant access to the new Servicer to all data embedded in or created by all software used by such Originator to account for its Receivables.

(b) In addition to the requirements of Section 4.03, each Originator (i) shall take such action reasonably requested by the Purchaser or its assignee that may be necessary or desirable to ensure that the Purchaser has an enforceable ownership interest in the Records relating to the Receivables purchased from, or contributed by, such Originator hereunder and (ii) shall use its reasonable efforts to ensure that the Purchaser and the Servicer each has an enforceable right (whether by license or sublicense or otherwise) to use all of the computer software used to account for the Receivables and/or to recreate such Records.

Section 2.07. Characterization; Granting Clause. (a) If, notwithstanding the intention of the parties expressed in Section 2.01(c), any sale or contribution by any Originator to the Purchaser of Receivables, Related Security, Collections and Proceeds hereunder shall be characterized as a secured loan and not a sale or contribution, as the case may be, then this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a security agreement under the UCC and other applicable Law. For this purpose and without being in derogation of the parties’ intention that each sale and contribution of Receivables, Related Security, Collections and Proceeds hereunder shall constitute a true sale or contribution, respectively, thereof, each Originator hereby grants to the Purchaser a duly perfected security interest in all of such Originator’s right, title and interest in, whether now existing or hereafter arising, in and to (i) (A) the Receivables originated by such Originator, (B) all Related Security with respect thereto, and (C) all Collections, (ii) with respect to all Reassigned Receivables of such Originator, all Collections subsequently received with respect thereto, and (iii) all Proceeds of any of the foregoing, which security interest shall be prior to all other Liens thereon. The Purchaser and its assigns shall have as against each Originator, in addition to the rights and remedies which they may have under this Agreement, all other rights and remedies provided to a secured creditor under the UCC and other applicable Law, which rights and remedies shall be cumulative. Each Originator hereby authorizes Purchaser (or any of its assigns), as secured party, within the meaning of Section 9-509 of any applicable enactment of the UCC, to file, without further authorization by such Originator, as debtor, the UCC financing statements contemplated hereby. In the event that a court of competent jurisdiction holds that the transactions hereunder are not true sales or contributions, each of the Purchaser and each Originator represents and warrants, as to itself, that, each remittance of Collections by such Originator to the Purchaser hereunder will have been made (i)

-13-

in payment of a debt incurred by such Originator in the ordinary course of such Originator’s and the Purchaser’s business or financial affairs and (ii) made in the ordinary course of such Originator’s and the Purchaser’s business or financial affairs.

Section 2.08. Transfer by Purchaser; Third-Party Beneficiary. (a) The Originators acknowledge and agree that the Purchaser may, pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement, sell and assign undivided interests in the Receivables and assign its rights under this Agreement to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Facility Agents and their Purchase Groups) and (b) the Originators and the Purchaser acknowledge and agree that, by virtue of the transactions contemplated in the Receivables Purchase Agreement, the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Facility Agents and their Purchase Groups) shall be an assignee of this Agreement and, following the occurrence and continuance of a Termination Event, shall have the right to enforce directly all rights hereunder of Purchaser and all obligations hereunder of the Originators (but without the assumption of any obligations or liabilities hereunder).

ARTICLE III

Closing Procedures; Addition of Originators

Section 3.01. Conditions to Each Purchase. Each Purchase from an Originator hereunder (including the Purchase on the applicable initial Purchase Date) is subject to the conditions precedent that (i) the Purchaser shall have executed and delivered a Subordinated Note in favor of such Originator and (ii) as of such date of such Purchase, no Purchase Termination Event shall have occurred.

Section 3.02. Addition of Originators. Any Subsidiary of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ may become an Originator hereunder with the prior written consent of the Purchaser (and the Administrative Agent and Facility Agents, as assignees of the Purchaser); provided, that such consent shall not be required if the Outstanding Balance of Receivables of such Subsidiary at the time it becomes an Originator hereunder, together with the Outstanding Balance of Receivables at such time of any other Subsidiary of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ that became an Originator hereunder without such consent over the 12 calendar month period ending immediately prior to such date is less than 5.0% of the average Outstanding Balance of all Receivables (other than Excluded Receivables) on the last day of each calendar month during such 12-calendar month period . Each Subsidiary of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ that is proposed to be added as an Originator shall give to the Purchaser (and the Administrative Agent and Facility Agents, as assignees of the Purchaser) prior written notice of its desire to be added as an Originator hereunder. Once the notice has been given, any addition of a Subsidiary of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ as an Originator pursuant to this section shall become effective on the first Business Day following the date on which (i) such Subsidiary and the parties hereto shall have executed a Joinder Agreement and such other agreements, instruments and other documents (including, without limitation, opinions of counsel, lien searches, financing statements, Blocked Account Agreements and a Subordinated Note in favor of the new Originator) and the amendments or other modifications to the Transaction Documents, in form and substance satisfactory to the Purchaser (and the Administrative Agent and Facility Agents, as assignees of the Purchaser), that the Purchaser (and the Administrative Agent and Facility Agents, as assignees of the Purchaser) determines necessary or appropriate to effect the addition;

-14-

and (ii) the Parent confirms in writing that the obligations of such new Originator are guaranteed by the Parent under the Parent Undertaking. Upon such effectiveness, Schedule I to this Agreement shall be deemed amended to include such added Originator and any reference to “Originator” in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall refer to each existing Originator and each Subsidiary of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ added as an Originator pursuant to this Section 3.02.

Section 3.03. Removal of Originators; Reconveyance of Certain Receivables. (a) In the event that any Receivables and Related Security were originated by an Originator or by a business group of any Originator, in each case, that is being sold or otherwise transferred to a third-party purchaser that is not an Affiliate of Parent (in any case, a “Sold Business”), and, at the request of such third-party purchaser, the Receivables and Related Security related to such Sold Business are to be included in such transfer, such Originator shall provide the Purchaser (and the Administrative Agent and Facility Agents as assignees of the Purchaser) notice of such sale or transfer not less than ten (10) Business Days before the date of the proposed sale or transfer and the resulting request for release and reconveyance of Receivables and Related Security. Such notice shall specify (i) if applicable, the business group being sold or transferred and (ii) the proposed date of such sale or transfer and reconveyance.

(b) On the sale or transfer date, the Purchaser shall, at the request of such Originator acting at the sole direction of such third-party purchaser, release and reconvey all of its right, title and interest in such Receivables and Related Security (other than any Collections or proceeds received in connection with such sale, assignment or transfer or received prior to the date thereof) (collectively, the “Transferred Assets”) to such Originator (or its designee) acting on behalf of such third-party purchaser, with such third-party purchaser being obligated to purchase such Transferred Assets, or to the applicable third-party purchaser, free and clear of any Lien created hereby, by executing a release and reconveyance agreement in a form agreed to by such Originator at the time of such release and reconveyance and delivering a copy of such executed release and reconveyance to the Administrative Agent, so long as (a) at the time of any such release and reconveyance, the then Outstanding Balance of any such Transferred Assets, together with the Outstanding Balance of any other Transferred Assets released and reconveyed pursuant to this Section 3.03 during the 12 calendar month period ending immediately prior to the date such Transferred Assets are transferred, plus the aggregate Outstanding Balance of Designated Excluded Receivables designated pursuant to Section 11.23 of the Receivables Purchase Agreement during such period (which Outstanding Balance is determined as to any Designated Type on its first respective Exclusion Date), shall not exceed 10.0% of the average aggregate Outstanding Balance of all Receivables (other than Excluded Receivables) on the last day of each calendar month during such 12-calendar month period, (b) no Termination Event or Potential Termination Event has occurred or will result from such release and reconveyance after the application of all Collections with respect thereto hereunder, and (c) after giving effect to such release and reconveyance and the application of all Collections with respect thereto under the Transaction Documents the Percentage Interest will not be greater than 100%. Any proceeds of any such release and reconveyance shall be treated as Collections hereunder.

(c) From and after the date any such Originator is terminated pursuant to this Section 3.03, such Originator shall have no further obligations hereunder or under any other Transaction Document, other than with respect to Collections or Deemed Collections on

-15-

Receivables previously sold by it to the Purchaser and, in respect of Indemnified Amounts arising out of events occurring or circumstances existing prior to such termination, any obligation under Section 8.01.

It will perform all of its obligations under the Contracts generated by it to the same extent as if the Receivables had not been sold or contributed, as applicable, hereunder and the exercise by the Purchaser, the Servicer, the Administrative Agent, any of the Facility Agents of their respective rights hereunder or under the Receivables Purchase Agreement shall not relieve such Originator from such obligations.

Section 4.03. Further Action Evidencing Purchases. Each Originator agrees that from time to time, at its expense, it will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action that the Purchaser (or its assigns) may reasonably request in order to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the Purchaser’s ownership of the Receivables generated by such Originator (and the Related Security and Collections) purchased by the Purchaser hereunder, or to enable the Purchaser to exercise or enforce any of its rights hereunder or under any other Transaction Document.

(a) General:

(i) Compliance with Laws, Etc. It will comply, and cause each of its Subsidiaries to comply, with all applicable Laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, and requirements of any Governmental Authority (including ERISA and consumer protection laws) except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect;

(c) Notice of Termination.

(b) Change in Payment Instructions to Obligors. It will not add or terminate any bank as a Depositary Bank from those listed on Schedule II hereto, or make any change in its instructions to Obligors regarding payments to be made in respect of the Receivables or payments to be made to any Depositary Bank, unless the Purchaser and the Administrative Agent (as assignee of Purchaser) will have received notice of such addition, termination or change (including an updated schedule) and a fully executed Blocked Account Agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent with respect to each new Lockbox Account or Depositary Account;

(c) Change in Name or Jurisdiction of Origination, Etc. It will not change its name, identity or organizational structure unless the Purchaser and the Administrative Agent (as Purchaser’s assignee) shall have received at least thirty (30) days’ advance written notice of such change and all action by such Originator, necessary or appropriate to perfect or maintain the perfection of the Purchaser’s ownership or security interest in the Receivables originated by it, the Related Security and the Collections (including, without limitation, the filing of all financing statements and the taking of such other action as the Purchaser or the Administrative Agent (as Purchaser’s assignee) may request in connection with such change or relocation) will have been duly taken;

(d) Treatment as Sales. It will not account for or treat (whether in financial statements or otherwise) the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in any manner other than as the sale and/or absolute conveyance of Receivables to the Purchaser (it being understood that the Purchaser is consolidated with ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and the Parent under IFRS). It (or Parent) shall treat the transactions under this Agreement, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as indebtedness secured by the Receivables and shall take no position inconsistent therewith; and

(e) Merger. It will not consolidate or merge with or into any other Person other than the Parent, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or any other Originator, and if the Parent is the surviving entity, unless the Parent assumes the obligations of such Originator hereunder.

-26-

Purchaser, its assigns) under this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which such Person would otherwise have.

Section 9.04. No Discharge.

Section 9.09. Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are intended to be severable. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part in any jurisdiction, such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without in any manner affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction or the remaining provisions hereof in any jurisdiction.
