AGREEMENT TO PURCHASE, SELL AND CONTRIBUTE

SECTION 2.01Purchase, Sale and Contribution. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement (including without limitation compliance with the terms and procedures in Sections 2.02 and 2.03), Seller hereby absolutely and irrevocably Conveys to Buyer, and Buyer hereby purchases or acquires from Seller, as applicable, (a) as of the Closing Date, all of Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Receivables and the Related Assets acquired by Seller on the Closing Date under the First Tier Transfer Agreement, and (b) as of each Subsequent Purchase Date, all of Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Receivables and the Related Assets acquired by Seller on such Subsequent Purchase Date under the First Tier Transfer Agreement, but excluding any Rejected Receivables or Excluded Receivables (if any) and their Related Assets.

SECTION 2.02Timing and Procedure for Purchases, Sales and Contributions.

(a)All of the Receivables and the Related Assets existing as of the Cut-Off Time for the Closing Date and acquired by Seller under the First Tier Transfer Agreement shall be set forth in the Purchase Report delivered by the Originators or the Servicer to, and accepted as to form and substance by, Seller, Buyer and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Closing Date pursuant to the First Tier Transfer Agreement (which shall also be deemed the “Initial Purchase Report” hereunder), and are hereby absolutely and irrevocably Conveyed to Buyer as of the Closing Date in accordance with the terms hereof.

(b)For each Subsequent Purchase Date:

(i)As of the Cut-Off Time for such Subsequent Purchase Date, Seller shall, by the execution of this Agreement, be deemed to have offered for sale or contribution to Buyer all of Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under each Receivable and the Related Assets with respect to such Receivable to be acquired by Seller on such Subsequent Purchase Date (collectively, the “Offered Receivables”), it being understood and agreed that the Offered Receivables shall not include any “Rejected Receivables” (as defined in the First Tier Transfer Agreement) or any Excluded Receivables;

(ii)Buyer shall accept such offer by either (A) written notice of the Offered Receivables selected for Conveyance on such Subsequent Purchase Date, delivered to the Seller, the Servicer and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Acceptance Deadline for such date, or (B) failure to send a written notice of refusal specifying any Offered Receivable that Buyer

will not acquire, by delivery to the Seller, the Servicer and the Administrative Agent on or prior to such Acceptance Deadline (a “Rejection Notice” and such Receivable, a “Rejected Receivable”), which failure shall be deemed an acceptance of such offer as to all Offered Receivables not so specified in a Rejection Notice and their respective Related Assets; provided that, Buyer’s election to reject any Offered Receivable shall not take effect until the first Business Day after the Rejection Conditions (as defined below) have been satisfied (to the reasonable satisfaction of the Administrative Agent).

(iii)For purposes of this Agreement, “Rejection Conditions” means, as of any date of determination, the satisfaction of the following conditions:

(A)concurrently with the delivery of the applicable Rejection Notice, which shall unambiguously state that it is a Rejection Notice pursuant to Section 2.02(b)(ii) of this Agreement, the Servicer shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent (i) a Purchase Report clearly outlining the Offered Receivables to be rejected and (ii) a Daily Report, in each case, with data, information and calculations therein stated as of the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of such delivery; and

(B)such Purchase Report pursuant to condition (A) above shall not show either (a) more than one Rejected Receivable or (b) an Outstanding Balance of any Rejected Receivable in excess of $100,000; provided, that either of such caps may be waived by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion;

provided, further, that in the event such condition (B) is not satisfied, the Administrative Agent shall permit such Offered Receivables to be rejected but may, in its sole discretion, require that any or all of these additional conditions also be satisfied, as determined by the Administrative Agent to its reasonable satisfaction by notice to the Servicer:

(1) all zero balance arrangements, automatic sweeps and other automatic transfers of funds out of any Collection Account shall have been terminated;

(2) the applicable Originators shall have paid either (i) in cash to a Collection Account or (ii) by offset of any Purchase Price then owed to such Originators for any Receivables sold by such Originators, all amounts due pursuant to Section 3.02(b) of this Agreement;

(3) the Servicer shall have transferred all Collections on Pool Receivables that the Originators or the Servicer are then holding (or are deemed or required to be holding) in trust for the benefit of the SPE, the Administrative Agent, the Purchasers/Lenders and the other Secured Parties pursuant to the Receivables Purchase and Financing Agreement or this Agreement and such Collections remain on deposit in a Collection Account; and

(4) Thereafter, the Servicer and the Originators shall not permit any Collections on Pool Receivables to be withdrawn or otherwise transferred out of any Collection Account on or after the date of delivery of such Rejection Notice,

other than any transfers or withdrawals that are made in accordance with the directions or instructions of the Administrative Agent.

(iv)As of such Acceptance Deadline and the payment of the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.03, Seller shall, immediately and automatically (without further action by any Person), be deemed to have absolutely and irrevocably Conveyed all of Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under each Offered Receivable and the Related Assets with respect to such Receivable acquired by Seller on such Subsequent Purchase Date, but excluding any Rejected Receivables or Excluded Receivables (if any) and their Related Assets (as to which Seller shall retain full right, title and interest free of any further commitments or obligations hereunder).

(c)From and after the Closing Date, on the request of Buyer or the Administrative Agent, Seller shall (or shall cause the Servicer to) deliver a Purchase Report for all Conveyances by Seller on any Subsequent Purchases Dates during the period specified by the requesting party (a “Subsequent Purchase Report”); provided, that subject to Section 5.02(b), Seller shall (or shall cause the Servicer to) ensure that any Subsequent Purchase Report is consistent with any Pool Reports delivered pursuant to the Receivables Purchase and Financing Agreement and with Seller’s financial statements and the consolidated financial statements of Seller and its Affiliates.

SECTION 2.03Payment of Purchase Price.

(a)The “Purchase Price” to be paid to Seller on any Payment Date in accordance with the terms of Section 2.03(b) for each Receivable and its Related Assets that are Conveyed hereunder shall be an amount equal to, with respect to such Receivable, the product of (i) the Outstanding Balance for such Receivable, multiplied by (ii) the Fair Market Value Discount. For such purpose “Fair Market Value Discount” shall be a percentage calculated to provide Buyer with a reasonable return on its investment in a Receivable after taking account of the time value of money based upon the anticipated dates of collection of such Receivable and the cost to Buyer of financing its investment in such Receivable during such period and the risk of nonpayment by the applicable Obligor. Seller and Buyer may agree from time to time to change the Fair Market Value Discount for all subsequent Conveyances or for any specified Receivable or Obligor based on changes in one or more of such factors; provided, that any change to the Fair Market Value Discount for a Receivable or Obligor (i) shall be in writing and specify the Receivables affected (whether for all subsequent Conveyances or for specified Receivables or Obligors), and (ii) shall take effect as of the first day of a fiscal month, shall apply only prospectively and shall not affect the Purchase Price payment in respect of any Receivables which came into existence during any calendar month ending prior to the calendar month during which Seller and Buyer agree to make such change; and provided further, that the Fair Market Value Discount shall not exceed 98.5% unless Buyer can provide evidence satisfactory to the Administrative Agent that such Fair Market Value Discount is appropriate and fairly reflects the value of the Receivables affected thereby. As of and from and after the Closing Date until changed in writing, the Fair Market Value Discount for all Conveyances hereunder shall be as specified in the Fair Market Value Discount Schedule attached as Exhibit B hereto (the “Fair Market Value Discount Schedule”).

(b)Seller may elect, by prior written notice to Buyer, to accept the Purchase Price by either cash payment (if Buyer then has funds available as provided below) or as the crediting of a capital contribution by ▇▇▇▇▇, as follows: If by cash payment, Buyer shall pay to Seller the Purchase Price with respect to each Receivable and its Related Assets that are Conveyed hereunder by transfer of immediately available funds (i) on the Closing Date (for the Conveyance on such date) and (ii) on each Subsequent Purchase Date, promptly upon the occurrence of the Acceptance Deadline on such date, in each case of (i) or (ii) from the proceeds of Investments and/or Loans under the Receivables Purchase and Financing Agreement and otherwise solely if Buyer then has funds available to pay the applicable Purchase Price in full for

a Receivable from monies held by or on behalf of Buyer after satisfying Buyer’s obligations then due and owing under the Receivables Purchase and Financing Agreement; provided, however, if Buyer does not then have funds available to pay the Purchase Price for a Receivable in full in cash after satisfying Buyer’s obligations then due and owing under the Receivables Purchase and Financing Agreement, Seller, as the equity owner of Buyer, shall contribute (and shall be deemed to have contributed without further action or notice by any Person) to the capital of Buyer, such Receivable and its Related Assets in return for an increase in the value of Seller’s ownership interest in Buyer, it being the intent and agreement of the parties hereto that the Purchase Price for any Receivable and its Related Assets be paid solely in cash or solely as a capital contribution, and not partially in cash and partially as a capital contribution; provided, further, that to the extent no cash payment is paid by ▇▇▇▇▇ at the time required under this Section 2.03(b), the Purchase Price shall be deemed to have been paid at such time solely as such a capital contribution and shall be recorded accordingly in any books and records maintained pursuant to Section 5.02(b) and in any Purchase Report required hereunder.

(c)The increase in Seller’s capital account on any Payment Date in accordance with the terms of Section 2.03(b) for any Receivable and its Related Assets that are contributed by Seller shall be an amount equal to the Purchase Price for such Receivable, and shall be recorded in the books and records of Seller and Buyer pursuant to Section 5.02(b) and set forth in each Purchase Report required hereunder.

(d)Notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Transaction Documents to the contrary, the Conveyance of Receivables and Related Assets hereunder and the application of proceeds with respect thereto shall occur and be deemed to have occurred on (i) the Closing Date, as of the consummation of all transactions required under the Transaction Documents on such date; and (ii) each Subsequent Purchase Date, as of the occurrence of both the Acceptance Deadline on such date and the delivery of any cash payment (if any) of the Purchase Price due and payable on such date (each of (i) and (ii), a “Payment Date”); provided, that settlement as to the reporting or presentation of such transactions shall occur on the Settlement Date pursuant to the Receivables Purchase and Financing Agreement, in any Pool Reports required thereunder and in any Purchase Reports required hereunder.

(e)The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (i) as to any cash payment of the Purchase Price for a Receivable under Section 2.03(b) hereof, Seller hereby requests, directs and authorizes the SPE to make such cash payment directly to the applicable Originator that sold such Receivable to Seller under the First Tier Transfer Agreement, in each case to the account specified by such Originator, which may be a concentration, sweep or similar account used by such Originator and/or its Affiliates (the “Payment Direction”), and (ii) pursuant to the First Tier Transfer Agreement, each such Originator is acknowledging the Payment Direction and agreeing that it will receive any such cash payment by the SPE under the Payment Direction as Seller’s cash payment of the “Purchase Price” (as defined in the First Tier Transfer Agreement) due thereunder to such Originator for such Receivable; provided, that the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that any payments made in accordance with the Payment Direction are made for administrative convenience only and that the legal effect thereof is the same as if the cash payment of the Purchase Price due for a Receivable hereunder was paid by the SPE to Seller and the cash payment of the “Purchase Price” due under the First Tier Transfer Agreement for such Receivable was paid by Seller to the applicable Originator.

SECTION 2.04No Recourse or Assumption of Obligations. Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, the Conveyance of Receivables and Related Assets under this Agreement shall be without recourse to Seller, including in the event of any Credit Events with respect to the applicable Obligors after the Conveyance of the applicable Receivables and Related Assets hereunder. Seller and ▇▇▇▇▇ intend the transactions hereunder to constitute absolute and irrevocable true sales or true contributions or absolute assignments of the

Receivables and the Related Assets Conveyed by Seller to Buyer, providing Buyer with the full risks and benefits of ownership of such Receivables and Related Assets (including without limitation the right of Buyer to further Convey such assets in its sole discretion to a transferee or transferees selected by Buyer), such that such Receivables and the Related Assets would not be property of Seller’s estate in the event of its bankruptcy.

None of Buyer, the Administrative Agent, the Purchasers/Lenders or any other affected Person shall have any obligation or liability under any Receivables or Related Assets, nor shall Buyer, the Administrative Agent, any Purchaser/Lender or any other affected Person have any obligation or liability to any Obligor or other customer or client of any Originator (including any obligation to perform any of the obligations of any Originator under any Receivables or Related Assets) or to Servicer.

(b)Any Deemed Collections shall be applied as a credit for the account of Buyer against the Purchase Price of Receivables subsequently purchased by ▇▇▇▇▇ from Seller hereunder; provided, however, if there have been no subsequent purchases of Receivables from Seller (or insufficiently large purchases of Receivables prior to the Monthly Settlement Date immediately following any such reduction in the Purchase Price of any Receivable) to create a Purchase Price sufficient to so apply such credit against, the amount of such credit (or such insufficiency) shall be transferred by Seller to a Collection Account in immediately available funds in the amount of such Deemed Collections on such Monthly Settlement Date subject to the following proviso; provided, further, that at any time (i) an Event of Default or Purchase and Sale Termination Event has occurred and is continuing or (ii) on or after the Purchase and Sale Termination Date, any Deemed Collection shall be transferred by Seller to a Collection Account in immediately available funds in the amount of such Deemed Collection immediately (and in no event more than one Business Day) following the event giving rise to such Deemed Collection.

(p)Seller shall not enter into, or be a party to, any transaction with Buyer or any Originator, except in the ordinary course of its business and on terms which are intrinsically fair and not less favorable to it than would be obtained in a comparable arm’s-length transaction with an unrelated third party;

(r)to the extent not already covered in paragraphs (a) through (o) above, Seller shall comply and/or act in accordance with all of the other separateness covenants set forth in Section 7.03 of the Receivables Purchase and Financing Agreement.

SECTION 8.11Grant of Security Interest.

(a)It is the intention of the parties to this Agreement that each Conveyance of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Receivables and the Related Assets that are transferred by Seller to Buyer hereunder and all the proceeds of all of the foregoing (collectively, the “Transferred Assets”) shall constitute an absolute and irrevocable purchase and sale and/or capital contribution, as applicable, and not a loan or pledge. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Conveyance of Transferred Assets by Seller hereunder shall be characterized as a loan or pledge and not a purchase and sale and/or capital contribution, then (i) this Agreement shall, as to such Conveyance, be deemed to be, and hereby is, a security agreement within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code and other applicable law and (ii) such Conveyance shall be deemed to be, and hereby is, the granting and creation of a first priority security interest in Seller’s right, title and interest in such Transferred Assets (whether now owned or hereafter acquired) and all proceeds of the foregoing to secure an obligation of Seller to pay over and transfer to Buyer any and all distributions received by Seller in relation to such Transferred Assets from time to time, whether in cash or in kind, so that Buyer will receive all distributions under and proceeds of and benefits of ownership of such Transferred Assets. If any Conveyance of Transferred Assets hereunder shall be characterized as a loan and not as a purchase and sale and/or capital contribution, Buyer and its assignees shall have, with respect to such Transferred Assets and other related rights, in addition to all the other rights and remedies available to Buyer and its assignees hereunder and under the underlying instruments, all the rights and remedies of a secured party under any applicable Uniform Commercial Code or any equivalent foreign law, as applicable.

(b)In addition to the grant of security interest in and to the Transferred Assets in the preceding Section 8.11(a), Seller hereby grants to Buyer a security interest in and to all of Seller’s rights, interests and claims under the First Tier Transfer Agreement, such that Buyer and its assignees (including without limitation, the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Purchaser/Lenders and the other Secured Parties under the Receivables Purchase and Financing Agreement) shall have, with respect to such rights, interests and

claims, in addition to all the other rights and remedies available to Buyer and its assignees hereunder, all the rights and remedies of a secured party under any applicable Uniform Commercial Code or any equivalent foreign law, as applicable.

(c)Seller and Buyer shall take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that any security interest pursuant to this Section 8.11 would be deemed to be a first priority perfected security interest in favor of Buyer under applicable Law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement or until (in the case of the interest granted in Section 8.11(a)), such time as the applicable Conveyance is no longer deemed to be the granting of a security interest.

SECTION 8.12Binding Terms in Other Transaction Documents. Seller hereby makes for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, each Purchaser/Lender and each other Secured Party, each of the representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements, and accepts all other binding terms, including the waiver of any rights, which are made applicable to Seller in any other Transaction Document to which it is a party, each as if the same (together with any provisions incorporated therein by reference) were set forth in full herein.

SECTION 8.13Severability. Any provisions of this Agreement which are prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
