WHEREAS, the Purchaser may purchase such Receivables pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth herein; and

WHEREAS, the Parent desires to absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally become jointly and severally liable with the Sellers and to guaranty the payment and performance by the Sellers of their obligations hereunder.

NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged and agreed, the parties hereto agree as follows:

SECTION 1.   DEFINITIONS AND INTERPRETATION.

In this Agreement, capitalized terms shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in Clause A of Annex A, and the terms hereof shall be interpreted in accordance with Clause B of Annex A.

SECTION 2.   PURCHASE AND SALE.

Section 2.1       Purchase and Sale.  On each Purchase Date during the term hereof, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (a) the Purchaser shall purchase from the applicable Seller or Sellers each Receivable described in the fully executed and completed Purchase Request with respect thereto, and (b) in consideration of the payment by the Purchaser to the applicable Seller of the Purchase Price for each such Receivable on such Purchase Date, such Seller shall sell and assign to the Purchaser all of such Seller’s right, title and interest in and to such Receivable as absolute owner thereof. Each Purchase Request shall be delivered via the BOW System; provided that, and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) until the BOW System is first made available to the Sellers (which shall be at the Purchaser’s sole discretion) and (ii) thereafter, if the BOW System is not operational, is otherwise offline or if the Purchaser has, in its discretion, instructed each Seller that the BOW System is no longer available for use, then such Seller may deliver a Purchase Request to the Purchaser in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto, and this Agreement shall be construed and interpreted accordingly, mutatis mutandis.

Section 2.2      Term.  Purchases of Receivables under this Agreement may be effected during the period from the Effective Date until this Agreement is terminated by either party, in

 

each case, in the sole and absolute discretion thereof.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement, including all covenants, representations and warranties, repurchase obligations and indemnities made herein shall continue in full force and effect until the Final Collection Date.

Section 2.3     UNCOMMITTED ARRANGEMENT.  EACH SELLER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS IS AN UNCOMMITTED ARRANGEMENT, THAT NO SELLER HAS PAID, OR IS REQUIRED TO PAY, A COMMITMENT FEE OR COMPARABLE FEE TO THE PURCHASER, AND THAT THE PURCHASER HAS NO OBLIGATION TO PURCHASE ANY RECEIVABLE FROM ANY SELLER, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE CONDITIONS SET FORTH HEREIN ARE SATISFIED.

Section 2.4      Notification to Obligors, Etc.

(a)        The Purchaser may, at any time in its discretion, notify or otherwise indicate to any Obligor that the applicable Seller has sold the applicable Purchased Receivable to the Purchaser hereunder, and may direct such Obligor to make payments with respect to such Purchased Receivable directly to the Settlement Account (or as otherwise directed by the Purchaser).

(b)        The Purchaser shall have all of the rights of an owner and holder respecting any Purchased Receivable, including the right to exercise any and all of its other rights and remedies hereunder, under any other Facility Document, under applicable law (including the UCC) or at equity to collect any Purchased Receivable directly from the applicable Obligor.

(c)        Each Seller hereby appoints the Purchaser as the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of such Seller, with full power of substitution, and hereby authorizes and empowers the Purchaser in the name and on behalf of such Seller, to take such actions, and execute and deliver such instruments and documents, as the Purchaser deems proper in order to make collection of and otherwise realize the benefits of any Purchased Receivable; provided, unless and until a Termination Event shall have occurred, the Purchaser shall not exercise such power of attorney.  Each Seller agrees that the Purchaser shall not be liable as attorney-in-fact for any acts of commission or omission or for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or law except to the extent the same constitutes gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Section 2.5      Purchaser’s Records.  The Purchaser is irrevocably authorized by each Seller to keep records of all purchases hereunder, which records shall be consistent with all information set forth in the Purchase Requests delivered to the Purchaser, and evidence the dates and amounts of purchases and the applicable Purchase Fee.

SECTION 3.   PAYMENTS, TAXES, ETC.

Section 3.1      Payments Generally.

(a)        All amounts payable by any Facility Party to the Purchaser pursuant to or in connection with any Facility Document shall be paid in full, free and clear of all deductions, set-off or withholdings whatsoever except only as may be required by Law,

and shall be paid on the date such amount is due no later than 11:00 a.m. (Pacific Standard Time) to the Settlement Account.

(b)        All payments to be made under any Facility Document or in respect of a Purchased Receivable shall be made in Dollars in immediately available funds.

(c)        Any amounts that would fall due for payment on a day other than a Business Day shall be payable on the succeeding Business Day unless such Business Day would fall into a new calendar month, in which case such payment shall be due on the preceding Business Day, and interest calculations, if any, shall be adjusted accordingly for such later payment.

(d)        Any amount to be paid by the Purchaser to any Seller under any Facility Document, including the payment of any Purchase Price, shall be paid to such Seller’s Seller’s Account or to such other account as notified to the Purchaser from time to time by the applicable Seller in writing.

Section 3.2      Overdue Amounts.  In the event that any amount payable by any Facility Party to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement or any other Facility Document (other than Collections, the late payment amount of which shall be determined pursuant to Section 5.8 hereof) remains unpaid for any reason after the Purchaser provides notice to such Facility Party that such amounts are past due, the Purchaser shall charge, and such Facility Party shall pay, an amount equal to (x) such unpaid amount due from such Facility Party to the Purchaser during the period from (and including) the due date thereof to (but not including) the date payment is received by the Purchaser in full, times (y) a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the Prime Rate, plus (ii) 2% per annum, computed on the basis of a 360 day year, and for actual days elapsed, which amounts shall be payable on demand and, if no prior demand is made, on the last Business Day of each calendar month.

Section 3.3      Withholding of Taxes.

(a)        Each Facility Party represents and warrants to the Purchaser that all payments by such Facility Party hereunder and by the Obligors in respect of the Purchased Receivables sold by such Seller will be paid free and clear of and (except to the extent required by Law) without any deduction or withholding on account of any Tax imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by or within the United States of America, any political subdivisions in or of the United States of America, or any foreign country or other jurisdiction, excluding any Tax upon or measured by the net income of the Purchaser.

(b)        If notwithstanding each Facility Party’s representation and warranty under this Section, any Facility Party or any Obligor is required by Law to make any deduction or withholding on account of any such Tax from any sum paid or payable by such Facility Party or such Obligor to the Purchaser hereunder or under any Purchased Receivable:

(i)         such Facility Party shall notify the Purchaser of any such requirement as soon as such Facility Party becomes aware of it;

(ii)       such Facility Party shall pay, for itself and on behalf of the applicable Obligor, any such Tax before the date on which penalties attach thereto, such payment to be made (if the liability to pay is imposed on such Facility Party or such Obligor) for its or their own account or (if that liability is imposed on the Purchaser on behalf of and in the name of the Purchaser) for the Purchaser’s account;

(iii)      the sum payable by such Facility Party for itself or on behalf of any Obligor in respect of which the relevant deduction, withholding or payment is required shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of that deduction, withholding or payment, the Purchaser receives on the due date and retains (free from any liability in respect of any such deduction, withholding or payment) a net sum equal to what it would have received and so retained, had no such deduction, withholding or payment been required or made; and

(iv)       within thirty (30) days after payment of any sum from which it is required by law to make any deductions or withholding for the Purchaser’s account and within thirty (30) days after the due date of payment of any Tax which it is required by this Section to pay, such Facility Party shall deliver to the Purchaser any original vouchers or receipts, or certified copies of such vouchers or receipts evidencing payment of such withholding Tax and any other documents or information relating to such payments received by such Facility Party from a Governmental Authority in the country levying such withholding Taxes.

SECTION 4.   NATURE OF FACILITY.

Section 4.1      True Sale.

(a)        The parties hereto agree that each transfer of each Purchased Receivable under this Agreement is intended to be an absolute and irrevocable transfer of such Purchased Receivable constituting a “true sale” thereof for bankruptcy law purposes, without recourse by the Purchaser to any Facility Party for any non-payment of such Purchased Receivable resulting solely from an Insolvency Event of the applicable Obligor or the financial inability of the Obligor to pay such Receivable on the Maturity Date thereof.

(b)        Each Seller expressly waives any continuing right which it may have in and to legal or beneficial ownership of each Purchased Receivable and confirms that the Purchaser is the sole Person entitled to legal and beneficial ownership of each Purchased Receivable and that such Seller’s only rights under this Agreement shall be to enforce the terms of this Agreement against the Purchaser without any right of recourse against the Purchased Receivables themselves.

(c)        Against the possibility that, contrary to the mutual intent of the parties, the purchase of any Receivable is not characterized as a sale by any applicable court, each Seller hereby grants to the Purchaser a security interest in all of the Purchased Receivables sold by such Seller to secure the payment and performance of such Seller’s

payment and performance obligations hereunder and under each other Facility Document.  The grant of this security interest is a supplemental protection to the Purchaser and is not meant to negate or affect in any way the intended sale of the Receivables by such Seller to the Purchaser.

Section 4.2      Retained Obligations.

(a)        Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Purchaser shall have no responsibility for, or have any liability with respect to, the performance of any Contract, and neither shall the Purchaser have any obligation to intervene in any Commercial Dispute arising out of the performance of any Contract.  All obligations of each Seller as seller of the Goods and services under each Contract, including all representations and warranty obligations, all servicing obligations, all maintenance obligations, and all delivery, transport and insurance obligations, shall be retained by such Seller (the “Retained Obligations”).

(b)        Any claim which any Seller may have against any Obligor or any other Person, and/or the failure of an Obligor to fulfill its obligations under the applicable Contract, shall not affect the obligations of such Seller to perform its obligations and make payments hereunder, and shall not be used as a defense or as set-off, counterclaim or cross-complaint as against the performance or payment of any of its obligations.

SECTION 5.   SERVICING AND SETTLEMENT.

Section 5.1      Servicing.

(a)        Each Seller agrees to service and administer the Purchased Receivables sold by it as agent and trustee for the Purchaser and agrees to devote to the servicing of the Purchased Receivables at least the same amount of time and attention, to exercise at least the same level of skill, care and diligence in such servicing, and to use its commercially reasonable efforts to collect each Purchased Receivable, in each case, as if such Seller were servicing, administering and/or collecting, as the case may be, Receivables legally and beneficially owned by it.

(b)        Each Seller shall cooperate with the Purchaser (at such Seller’s expense) in taking any and all commercially reasonable actions requested by the Purchaser in collecting all amounts owed by the applicable Obligor with respect to each Purchased Receivable.

(c)        Each Seller shall perform the obligations under this Section 5 in partial consideration for the Purchase Price paid hereunder with respect to each Purchased Receivable sold by such Seller.

Section 5.2      Notice to Purchaser.  Each Seller shall promptly upon becoming aware thereof, notify the Purchaser in the event that all or any part of any Purchased Receivable is not paid in full within seven (7) Business Days following the Maturity Date thereof.

Section 5.3      Inspection.  Each Seller shall:

(a)        at any time reasonably convenient to such Seller during regular business hours and upon reasonable prior notice, permit the Purchaser or any of its agents or representatives:

(i)         to examine and make copies of and abstracts from such Seller’s Sales Records and the Invoices in respect of Purchased Receivables at any time and permit the Purchaser to take such copies and extracts from the Sales Records and to provide the Purchaser with copies or originals (as required by the Purchaser) of the Invoices relating to Purchased Receivables as it may require and generally allow the Purchaser (at the Purchaser’s expense) to review, check and audit such Seller’s credit control procedures, and

(ii)       to visit the offices and properties of such Seller for the purpose of examining such records and to discuss matters relating to Purchased Receivables or such Seller’s performance hereunder with any of the officers or employees of such Seller having knowledge of such matters; and

(b)        without limiting the provisions of clause (a), from time to time on request of the Purchaser and upon reasonable prior notice, permit certified public accountants or other auditors acceptable to the Purchaser to conduct, at the Purchaser’s expense, a review of such Seller’s books and records to the extent related to the Purchased Receivables.

(c)        Notwithstanding any provisions of this Section 5.3 or any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, each Seller shall only be liable for the costs and expenses related to (x) an inspection of the type described in Section 5.3(a)(i) once during each calendar year and (y) an audit of the type described in Section 5.3(a)(ii) if a Termination Event has occurred and is continuing.

Section 5.4      Seller’s Accounts.  Each Seller covenants and agrees (i) to direct each Obligor to pay all amounts owing under such Purchased Receivables only to the applicable Seller’s Account, (ii) not to change such payment instructions while any Purchased Receivable remains outstanding other than to instruct the applicable Obligor to pay all amounts owing under such Purchased Receivable to the applicable Seller’s Account, (iii) to take any and all other reasonable actions, including actions reasonably requested by the Purchaser, to ensure that (A) all amounts owing under the Purchased Receivables will be deposited exclusively to the applicable Seller’s Account or directly to the Settlement Account and (B) no amounts paid to such Seller by an obligor other than an Obligor shall be deposited into the Seller’s Account of such Seller and (iv) to hold in trust as the Purchaser’s exclusive property and safeguard for the benefit of the Purchaser all Collections and other amounts remitted or paid directly to such Seller (or any of its Affiliates) in respect of Purchased Receivables for prompt deposit into the Settlement Account in the manner set forth in Section 5.9 below.  Each Seller hereby grants to the Purchaser a security interest in the Seller’s Account of such Seller as additional collateral to secure the payment and performance of such Seller’s obligations to the Purchaser hereunder and under each of the other Facility Documents or as may be determined in connection therewith by applicable Law.  Prior to the occurrence of any Termination Event, each Seller shall be permitted to make withdrawals and distributions from such Seller’s Seller’s Account.  After the occurrence

of any Termination Event, the Purchaser will be authorized to take exclusive control of each Seller’s Account and, upon taking exclusive control, will have exclusive authority to make withdrawals and distributions from each Seller’s Account until the Final Collection Date subject to Section 5.10.  For the avoidance of doubt, any liens on any amounts transferred or withdrawn from any Seller’s Account with respect to Collections on non-Purchased Receivables shall be automatically terminated and released concurrently with such transfer or withdrawal.

Section 5.5      Settlement.  Each Seller shall (i) transfer all Collections received by such Seller with respect to the Purchased Receivables by wire transfer (or such other means as is acceptable to the Purchaser) to the Settlement Account no later than the Thursday of the week that immediately follows the week in which such Collections are received (each such Thursday, a “Settlement Date”, unless such Thursday is not a Business Day, in which case, the Settlement Date shall be the next Business Day thereafter) and (ii) on each Settlement Date, transfer the Purchase Fee and the Transaction Fee for each Purchased Receivable the Fee Due Date of which is such Settlement Date (regardless of whether any or all Collections with respect to any such Purchased Receivable have been received and the timing of such receipt) to the Settlement Account; provided, no Collections shall be deemed received by the Purchaser for purposes of this Agreement until funds are credited to the Settlement Account as immediately available funds or otherwise actually received by the Purchaser.

Section 5.6     Settlement Report.  On each Settlement Date, concurrently with the transfer to the Settlement Account of any Collections in connection with any Purchased Receivable, each Seller shall provide to the Purchaser a settlement report setting forth in reasonable detail which Purchased Receivables sold by such Seller have been paid and in what amounts, and which shall otherwise be in form and substance satisfactory to the Purchaser. Each Seller shall submit such settlement report via the BOW System; provided that, and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) until the BOW System is first made available to the Sellers (which shall be at the Purchaser’s sole discretion) and (ii) thereafter, if the BOW System is not operational, is otherwise offline or if the Purchaser has, in its discretion, instructed each Seller that the BOW System is no longer available for use, then such Seller shall deliver a written settlement report to the Purchaser, and this Agreement shall be construed and interpreted accordingly, mutatis mutandis.

Section 5.7      Termination of Servicing.

(a)        Upon the occurrence of a Termination Event, the Purchaser may, in its discretion, terminate the appointment of each Seller or any Seller as its servicer and agent for the servicing, administering and collecting of the Purchased Receivables (which termination shall be automatic and immediate if such Seller is subject to an Insolvency Event), and, upon such termination, (x) the Purchaser may notify and instruct each Obligor to make all payments on account of each Purchased Receivable sold by such Seller to an account designated by the Purchaser, and (y) take any lawful action to collect any Purchased Receivable sold by such Seller directly from the respective Obligor.

(b)        Upon termination of any Seller as servicer and until the Final Collection Date:

(i)         such Seller shall not interfere with the servicing or collection of any Purchased Receivable;

(ii)       such Seller shall not attempt to receive payment, nor itself make collection, from any Obligor in respect of any Purchased Receivables;

(iii)      such Seller shall provide such reasonably requested information as to assist the Purchaser to recover and enforce payment of any or all such Purchased Receivables; and

(iv)       such Seller shall comply (at such Seller’s expense) with any reasonable directions, orders and instructions (including any procedures for the administration and commencement and continuation of legal or other proceedings against each applicable Obligor to enforce payment of the Purchased Receivables thereof) given by the Purchaser to procure the ordinary course collection of any Purchased Receivables as directed by the Purchaser, including, at the request of the Purchaser, joining in and being a party to any legal or other action which the Purchaser has taken or wishes to take against the applicable Obligor with the Purchaser being entitled to full control of such action.

Section 5.8      Late Payment Amount.  In the event that any Seller shall fail to transfer to the Settlement Account any Collections received by such Seller with respect to the Purchased Receivables on or before the Settlement Date applicable thereto, then such Seller shall pay to the Purchaser a late payment fee for the period (from and including) such Settlement Date to (but not including) the date such payment is made by such Seller to the Settlement Account in an amount equal to (x) the amount of such Collections, times (y) (i) the Applicable Margin, plus (ii) the Applicable Index Rate (calculated by reference to such calculation periods as the Purchaser may select and notify to such Seller), computed on the basis of a 360 day year, and for actual days elapsed, and which shall be payable on demand, or if no demand is made, on the date such payment is made by such Seller to the Settlement Account.

Section 5.9      Amounts Held In Trust.  Each Seller covenants and agrees to deposit in the applicable Seller’s Account all Collections and other amounts received by any Seller (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to Purchased Receivables without adjustment, setoff or deduction of any kind or nature within two Business Days of receipt.  Until remitted to the applicable Seller’s Account, such Seller will hold such funds in trust as the Purchaser’s exclusive property and safeguard such funds for the benefit of the Purchaser.  No Seller shall, directly or indirectly, utilize such funds for its own purposes, and no Seller shall have any right to pledge such funds as collateral for any obligation of such Seller or any other Person.

Section 5.10    Misdirected Payments. If, prior to the taking of exclusive control of the Seller’s Accounts by the Purchaser pursuant to Section 5.4, any Seller receives any payment into its Seller’s Account that does not represent a Collection on a Purchased Receivable, such Seller shall promptly remove such payment from such Seller’s Account. After the Purchaser has taken exclusive control of the Seller’s Accounts pursuant to Section 5.4, the Purchaser will return such amounts received into a Seller’s Account to the applicable Seller upon receipt of satisfactory evidence that such amounts do not constitute Collections on Purchased Receivables.

and maintain perfected its interest in, or the impairment or release of, any Purchased Receivable or any collateral, (H) any failure to obtain any authorization or approval from or other action by or to notify or file with, any Governmental Authority required in connection with the performance of the Parent Obligations or otherwise or (I) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, the Parent, any surety or any guarantor (other than the defense of performance and/or payment in full of the Parent Obligations).

(b)        The Parent’s obligations hereunder shall not be conditioned on the Purchaser or any other Person having first made any request of or demand upon or given any notice to any Seller or any other Person or having initiated any action or proceeding against any Seller or any other Person in respect thereof.  The Parent also hereby expressly waives any defenses based on any of the provisions set forth above and all defenses it may have as a guarantor or a surety generally or otherwise based upon suretyship, impairment of collateral or otherwise in connection with the Parent Obligations whether in equity or at law.   The Parent hereby also expressly waives diligence, presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind whatsoever, as well as any requirement that the Purchaser exhaust any right to take any action against any Seller or any other Person (including the filing of any claims in the event of a receivership or bankruptcy of any of the foregoing), or with respect to any collateral or collateral security at any time securing any of the Parent Obligations, and hereby consents to any and all extensions of time of the due performance of any or all of the Parent Obligations.  The Parent agrees that it shall not exercise or assert any right which it may acquire by way of subrogation under this Agreement unless and until all Parent Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full.  For the sake of clarity, and without limiting the foregoing, it is expressly acknowledged and agreed that the Parent Obligations do not include the payment or guaranty of any amounts to the extent such amounts constitute recourse with respect to a Purchased Receivable resulting solely from an Insolvency Event of the applicable Obligor or the financial inability of the Obligor to pay such Purchased Receivable on the maturity date thereof.

Section 10.2    Confirmation.  The Parent hereby confirms that the transactions contemplated by the Facility Documents have been arranged between the Sellers and the Purchaser with the Parent’s full knowledge and consent and any amendment, restatement, modification or supplement of, or waiver of compliance with, the Facility Documents in accordance with the terms thereof by any of the foregoing shall be deemed to be with the Parent’s full knowledge and consent.  The Parent hereby confirms that it is in the best interest of the Parent to execute this Agreement, inasmuch as the Parent (individually) and the Parent and its Subsidiaries (collectively) will derive substantial direct and indirect benefit from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Facility Documents.

Section 10.3    Termination of Parent Obligations.

(a)        The Parent’s obligations hereunder shall remain operative and continue in full force and effect until the Final Collection Date, subject to the terms of Section 2.2. To the fullest extent permitted by Law, no invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability by reason of any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar Law, or any other

Law or order of any Governmental Authority thereof purporting to reduce, amend or otherwise affect the Parent Obligations shall impair, affect, or be a defense to or claim against the obligations of the Parent under this Agreement.

(b)        The Parent’s obligations shall survive the insolvency of any Seller or any other Person and the commencement of any case or proceeding by or against any Seller or any other Person under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar Law.  No automatic stay under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar Law with respect to any Seller or any other Person shall postpone the obligations of the Parent under this Agreement.

(c)        If at any time payment or other satisfaction of any of the Parent Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the bankruptcy, insolvency, or reorganization of any Seller or otherwise, as applicable, the Parent’s obligations hereunder shall be reinstated, as the case may be, as though such payment had not been made or other satisfaction occurred, whether or not the Purchaser (or its respective assigns) is in possession of this Agreement.
