RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AGREEMENT
This Third Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement, dated as of December 3, 2010, is by and among PDC Funding Company, LLC, a Minnesota limited liability company (the “Seller”), Patterson Companies, Inc., a Minnesota corporation (together with its successors and assigns “PDCo”), as initial Servicer (Servicer together with Seller, the “Seller Parties” and each a “Seller Party”), the entities listed on Schedule A to this Agreement under the heading “Financial Institution” (together with any of their respective successors and assigns hereunder, the “Financial Institutions”), the entities listed on Schedule A to this Agreement under the heading “Conduit” (together with any of their respective successors and assigns hereunder, the “Conduits”), the entities listed on Schedule A to this Agreement under the heading “Purchaser Agent” (together with any of their respective successors and assigns hereunder, the “Purchaser Agents”) and MUFG Bank, Ltd. (f/k/a The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd.) (“MUFG”), as assignee of JPMorgan, as agent for the Purchasers hereunder or any successor agent hereunder (together with its successors and assigns hereunder, the “Agent”).  Unless defined elsewhere herein, capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in Exhibit I.
PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS
The Seller Parties, MUFG and certain other financial institutions, Victory Receivables Corporation (the “MUFG Conduit”) and certain other commercial paper conduits and JPMorgan are parties to that certain Second Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 19, 2010 (as amended supplemented, or otherwise modified through the date hereof excluding this Agreement, the “Prior Agreement”).
The parties to the Prior Agreement are entering into the Closing Date Assignment Agreement as of the date hereof and, in connection therewith, the parties hereto now desire to amend and restate the Prior Agreement in its entirety to read as set forth herein.
MUFG has been requested and is willing to act as Agent on behalf of the Conduits and the Financial Institutions in accordance with the terms hereof.
AGREEMENT
Now therefore, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree that, subject to satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 6.1, the Prior Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
ARTICLE I
PURCHASE ARRANGEMENTS
Section 1.1 Purchase Facility.







THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED
RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AGREEMENT

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, during the period from the date hereof to but not including the Facility Termination Date, Seller shall sell and assign, as described in Section 1.2(b), the Asset Portfolio to Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers, as applicable.  In accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Conduit may, at its option, instruct Agent to make cash payments to Seller of the related Cash Purchase Price in respect of the Asset Portfolio (each such cash payment, a “Purchase”) on behalf of such Conduit, or if any Conduit shall decline to make such Purchase, Agent shall make such Purchase, on behalf of such declining Conduit’s Related Financial Institutions, in each case and from time to time in an aggregate amount not to exceed at such time (i) in the case of each Conduit, its Conduit Purchase Limit and (ii) in the aggregate, the lesser of (A) the Purchase Limit and (B) the aggregate amount of the Commitments.  Any amount not paid for the Asset Portfolio hereunder as Cash Purchase Price shall be paid to Seller as the RPA Deferred Purchase Price pursuant to, and only to the extent required by, the priority of payments set forth in Sections 2.2(b) and (c) and otherwise pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (including Section 2.6).
(b) Seller may, upon at least 10 Business Days’ prior notice to Agent and each Purchaser Agent, terminate in whole or reduce in part, ratably among the Financial Institutions, the unused portion of the Purchase Limit; provided that (i) each partial reduction of the Purchase Limit shall be in an amount equal to $5,000,000 or an integral multiple thereof and (ii) the aggregate of the Conduit Purchase Limits for all of the Conduits shall also be terminated in whole or reduced in part, ratably among the Conduits, by an amount equal to such termination or reduction in the Purchase Limit.
Section 1.2 Increases; Sale of Asset Portfolio.  
(a) Increases.  Seller shall provide Agent and each Purchaser Agent with at least two Business Days’ (or if the date of such Purchase will be other than a Settlement Date, three Business Days’) prior notice in a form set forth as Exhibit II hereto of each Purchase (a “Purchase Notice”).  Each Purchase Notice shall be subject to Section 6.2 hereof and, except as set forth below, shall be irrevocable, shall specify the requested Cash Purchase Price (which shall not be less than $10,000,000 and in additional increments of $100,000) and the requested date of such Purchase (which shall be on a Settlement Date or any other Business Day so long as no more than one Purchase occurs each calendar month on a date other than a Settlement Date) and, in the case of a Purchase, if the Cash Purchase Price thereof is to be funded by any of the Financial Institutions, the requested Discount Rate and Rate Tranche Period and shall be accompanied by a current listing of all Receivables (including any Receivables to be purchased by Seller under the Receivables Sale Agreement on the date of such Purchase specified in such Purchase Notice).  Following receipt of a Purchase Notice, Agent will promptly notify the MUFG Conduit of such Purchase Notice, each Purchaser Agent will promptly notify the Conduit in such Purchaser Agent’s Purchaser Group of such Purchase Notice and Agent and each Purchaser Agent will identify the Conduits that agree to make the Purchase.  If any Conduit declines to make a proposed Purchase, Seller may cancel the Purchase Notice or, in the absence of such a cancellation, the Purchase of such Receivables, Related Security and Collections, which such Conduit has declined to Purchase, will be made by such declining Conduit’s Related 
        2



THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED
RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AGREEMENT

Financial Institution(s) in accordance with the rest of this Section 1.2(a).  If the proposed Purchase or any portion thereof is to be made by any of the Financial Institutions, Agent shall send notice of the proposed Purchase to the MUFG Conduit’s Related Financial Institution and/or the applicable Purchaser Agent shall send notice of the proposed Purchase to the Related Financial Institutions in such Purchaser Agent’s Purchaser Group, as applicable, in each case concurrently by telecopier or email specifying (i) the date of such Purchase, which date must be at least one Business Day after such notice is received by the applicable Financial Institutions, (ii) each Financial Institution’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate Cash Purchase Price in respect of such Receivables, Related Security and Collections of the Financial Institutions in such Financial Institution’s Purchaser Group are then purchasing and (iii) the requested Discount Rate and the requested Rate Tranche Period.  On the date of each Purchase, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article VI and the conditions set forth in this Section 1.2(a), the Conduits and/or the Financial Institutions, as applicable, shall deposit to the Facility Account, in immediately available funds, no later than 12:00 noon (Chicago time), an amount equal to (i) in the case of a Conduit that has agreed to make such Purchase, such Conduit’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate Cash Purchase Price of the Receivables, Related Security and Collections in respect of such Purchase or (ii) in the case of a Financial Institution, such Financial Institution’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate Cash Purchase Price of the Receivables, Related Security and Collections the Financial Institutions in such Financial Institution’s Purchaser Group are then purchasing.  Each Financial Institution’s Commitment hereunder shall be limited to purchasing the assets in the Asset Portfolio that the Conduit in such Financial Institution’s Purchaser Group has declined to Purchase.  Each Financial Institution’s obligation shall be several, such that the failure of any Financial Institution to make available to Seller any funds in connection with any Purchase shall not relieve any other Financial Institution of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make funds available on the date of such Purchase, but no Financial Institution shall be responsible for the failure of any other Financial Institution to make funds available in connection with any Purchase.  
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 1.2(a) or otherwise in this Agreement, the parties hereto hereby acknowledge and agree that any Financial Institution may, in its reasonable discretion, by written notice (a “Delayed Purchase Notice”) delivered to the Agent and the Seller no later than 12:00 p.m. (Chicago time) on the Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Purchase date elect (subject to the proviso below) with respect to any Purchase to pay its Pro Rata Share of the aggregate Cash Purchase Price of the Receivables, Related Security and Collections on or before the thirty-fifth (35th) day following the date of the related Purchase Notice (or if such day is not a Business Day, then on the next succeeding Business Day) (the “Delayed Purchase Date”), rather than on the date requested in such Purchase Notice (any Financial Institution making such an election, a “Delayed Financial Institution”); provided, that, with respect to each Financial Institution’s Purchaser Group, an amount equal to 10.0% of such Financial Institution’s Purchaser Group’s Commitment may not be subject to a Delayed Purchase Date.  
No Delayed Financial Institution (or, for the avoidance of doubt, its related Conduit) shall be obligated to pay its Pro Rata Share of the applicable aggregate Cash Purchase Price until the applicable Delayed Purchase Date.  A Delayed Financial Institution shall pay its Pro Rata Share 
        3



THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED
RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AGREEMENT

of the applicable aggregate Cash Purchase Price on the applicable Delayed Purchase Date in accordance with this Section 1.2(a); provided, however, that a Delayed Financial Institution may, in its sole discretion, pay its Pro Rata Share of the applicable aggregate Cash Purchase Price on any Business Day prior to such Delayed Purchase Date.  The Seller shall be obligated to accept the proceeds of such Delayed Financial Institution’s portion of the applicable Cash Purchase Price on the applicable Delayed Purchase Date in accordance with this Section 1.2(a).  
The parties hereto hereby acknowledge and agree that they are implementing the delayed funding mechanics provided for in this Section for the purpose of effecting a more favorable “liquidity coverage ratio” (including as set forth in “Basel III” or as “Basel III” or portions thereof may be adopted in any particular jurisdiction) with respect to one or more Financial Institutions (or its holding company).  Upon the occurrence of any Regulatory Change reasonably likely to eliminate such favorable effects with respect to all Financial Institutions, so long as no Amortization Event or Potential Amortization Event has occurred and is continuing, the Seller and Servicer may request in writing delivered to the Agent and each Purchaser Agent that this Agreement be amended such that the delayed funding mechanics set forth in this Section are removed.  The Agent and each Purchaser Agent shall promptly notify the Seller and Servicer if they consent to such request and such request may be accepted or rejected by such parties in their sole discretion.  Failure of the Agent or any Purchaser Agent to notify the Seller or the Servicer within ten (10) Business Days shall be deemed to constitute a rejection of such request.   
(b) Sale of Asset Portfolio.  In accordance with Sections 1.1(a) and 1.2(a), Seller hereby sells, assigns and transfers to Agent (on behalf of Purchasers), for the related Cash Purchase Price and the RPA Deferred Purchase Price, effective on and as of the date of each Purchase by any Purchaser hereunder, all of its right, title and interest in, to and under all Receivables and the Related Security and Collections relating to such Receivables (other than Seller’s title in and to the Second-Tier Account, the Reserve Account and the Facility Account, each of which shall remain with Seller), whether currently existing or thereafter acquired (the assets sold, assigned and transferred to include not only the Receivables, Collections and Related Security (other than Seller’s title in and to the Second-Tier Account, the Reserve Account and the Facility Account) existing as of the date of such Purchase but also all future Receivables and such Related Security and Collections acquired by Seller from time to time as provided herein).  Purchaser’s right, title and interest in and to such assets is herein called the “Asset Portfolio”.
Section 1.3 Decreases.  Seller shall provide Agent with an irrevocable prior written notice in conformity with the Required Notice Period (a “Reduction Notice”) of any proposed reduction of the Aggregate Capital from Collections and Agent will promptly notify each Purchaser of such Reduction Notice after Agent’s receipt thereof.  Such Reduction Notice shall designate (i) the date (the “Proposed Reduction Date”) upon which any such reduction of the Aggregate Capital shall occur (which date shall give effect to the applicable Required Notice Period), and (ii) the amount of the Aggregate Capital to be reduced that shall be applied ratably to the aggregate Capital of the Conduits and the Financial Institutions in accordance with the amount of Capital (if any) owing to the Conduits (ratably to each Conduit, based on the ratio of such Conduit’s Capital at such time to the aggregate Capital of all the Conduits at such time), on the one hand, and the amount of Capital (if any) owing to the Financial Institutions (ratably to 
        4



THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED
RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AGREEMENT

each Financial Institution, based on the ratio of such Financial Institution’s Capital at such time to the aggregate Capital of all of the Financial Institutions at such time), on the other hand (the “Aggregate Reduction”), without regard to any unpaid RPA Deferred Purchase Price.  Only one (1) Reduction Notice shall be outstanding at any time.  Concurrently with any reduction of the Aggregate Capital pursuant to this Section, Seller shall pay to the applicable Purchaser all Broken Funding Costs arising as a result of such reduction.  No Aggregate Reduction will be made following the occurrence of the Amortization Date without the prior written consent of Agent.
Section 1.4 Payment Requirements.  All amounts to be paid or deposited by any Seller Party pursuant to any provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall be paid or deposited in accordance with the terms hereof no later than 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time) on the day when due in immediately available funds, and if not received before 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time) shall be deemed to be received on the next succeeding Business Day.  If such amounts are payable to (i) Agent, they shall be paid to Agent for its own account, in accordance with the applicable instructions set forth on Schedule C and (ii) any Purchaser Agent or Purchaser, they shall be paid to the Purchaser Agent for such Person’s Purchaser Group, for the account of such Person, in accordance with the applicable instructions set forth on Schedule C, in each case until otherwise notified by Agent or the related Purchaser Agent, as applicable (each instruction set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) being a “Payment Instruction”).  Upon notice to Seller, Agent (on behalf of itself and/or any Purchaser) may debit the Facility Account for all amounts due and payable hereunder.  All computations of Financial Institution Yield, per annum fees or discount calculated as part of any CP Costs, per annum fees hereunder and per annum fees under any Fee Letter shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days elapsed.  If any amount hereunder or under any other Transaction Document shall be payable on a day which is not a Business Day, such amount shall be payable on the next succeeding Business Day.
Section 1.5 Deemed Exchange.  Notwithstanding the otherwise applicable conditions precedent to payments in respect of the Asset Portfolio hereunder, upon the effectiveness of this Agreement in accordance with its terms and the effectiveness of the Closing Date Assignment Agreement in accordance with its terms, each Purchaser shall be deemed to have delivered and released its undivided interests in the “Purchaser Interest” under (and as defined in) the Prior Agreement as of the date hereof in a contemporaneous exchange for the acquisition of the Asset Portfolio hereunder in an amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of all outstanding “Capital” (as defined in the Prior Agreement) advanced in respect of the initial purchase under the Prior Agreement or any subsequent “Incremental Purchase” under and as defined in the Prior Agreement.  Such deemed exchange under the Prior Agreement and the initial Purchase hereunder (the “Deemed Exchange”) shall constitute a replacement of all outstanding principal amounts of the outstanding “Capital” made under the Prior Agreement by way of such initial Purchase hereunder.
Section 1.6 RPA Deferred Purchase Price.  Subject to the application of Collections as RPA Deferred Purchase Price as permitted on each Settlement Date pursuant to Sections 2.2(b), 2.2(c) and 2.6, on each Business Day on and after the Final Payout Date, 
        5



THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED
RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AGREEMENT

Servicer, on behalf of Agent and the Purchasers, shall pay to Seller an amount as deferred purchase price (the “RPA Deferred Purchase Price”) equal to the Collections of Receivables then held or thereafter received by Seller (or Servicer on its behalf) less any accrued and unpaid Servicing Fee.
ARTICLE II
PAYMENTS AND COLLECTIONS
Section 2.1 Payments.  Notwithstanding any limitation on recourse contained in this Agreement, Seller shall immediately pay to Agent when due, for the account of Agent, or the relevant Purchaser or Purchasers, on a full recourse basis: (a) all amounts accrued or payable by Seller to any such Person as described in Section 2.2 and (b) each of the following amounts, to the extent that such amounts are not paid in accordance with Section 2.2: (i) such fees as set forth in each Fee Letter (which fees collectively shall be sufficient to pay all fees owing to the Financial Institutions), (ii) all amounts payable as CP Costs, (iii) all amounts payable as Financial Institution Yield, (iv) all amounts payable as Deemed Collections (which shall be immediately due and payable by Seller and applied to reduce the outstanding Aggregate Capital hereunder in accordance with Sections 2.2 and 2.3 hereof), (v) all amounts required pursuant to Section 2.5 or 2.6, (vi) all amounts payable pursuant to Article X, if any, (vii) all Servicer costs and expenses, including the Servicing Fee, in connection with servicing, administering and collecting the Receivables, (viii) all Broken Funding Costs, (ix) all Hedging Obligations and (x) all Default Fees (the fees, amounts and other obligations described in clauses (a) and (b) collectively, the “Obligations”).  If any Person fails to pay any of the Obligations when due, such Person agrees to pay, on demand, the Default Fee in respect thereof until paid.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of this Agreement or any Fee Letter shall require the payment or permit the collection of any amounts hereunder in excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law.  If at any time Seller receives any Collections or is deemed to receive any Collections, Seller shall immediately pay such Collections or Deemed Collections to Servicer for payment in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof and, at all times prior to such payment, such Collections or Deemed Collections shall be held in trust by Seller for the exclusive benefit of the Purchasers and Agent.
Section 2.2 Collections Prior to Amortization.
(a) Collections Generally.  On any day prior to the Amortization Date that Servicer receives any Collections and/or Deemed Collections, such Collections and/or Deemed Collections shall be set aside and held in trust by Servicer for the benefit of Agent and the Purchasers in the Collection Accounts in the manner set forth in Sections 7.1(j) and 8.2.  Prior to the Amortization Date, all such amounts shall be applied as set forth in this Section 2.2.  Servicer shall, on each Settlement Date, determine the amount of Collections set aside in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 2.2 during the related Settlement Period which constitute Principal Collections and the portion of such Collections which constitute Finance Charge Collections.  On each Settlement Date, Servicer shall remit the Principal Collections set aside pursuant to this subsection (a) to the Second-Tier Account (to the extent such Principal Collections are not already on deposit therein) to be distributed in accordance with subsection (b) 
        6

below and Servicer shall remit the Finance Charge Collections set aside pursuant to this subsection (a) to the Second-Tier Account (to the extent such Finance Charge Collections are not already on deposit therein) to be distributed in accordance with subsection (c) below.
(b) Application of Principal Collections.  On each Settlement Date, Servicer will apply the Principal Collections on deposit in the Second-Tier Account in accordance with the applicable Payment Instructions pursuant to Section 2.2(a) to make the following distributions in the following amounts and order of priority:
first, to each Terminating Financial Institution, an amount equal to such Terminating Financial Institution’s Termination Percentage of such Principal Collections for the ratable reduction of the Capital of each such Terminating Financial Institution,
second, subject to Section 2.6, if any Purchase Notice shall have been delivered in accordance with Section 1.2(a), to Seller to fund the Cash Purchase Price of the Purchase to be made on such date; otherwise, to Agent for the account of the Purchasers (other than any Terminating Financial Institution) as a further reduction of the Aggregate Capital, and
third,  subject to Section 2.6, to the extent of any such amounts remaining after such payments, to be applied as if they were Finance Charge Collections in accordance with the priority of payments set forth in subsection (c) below.
(c) Application of Finance Charge Collections.  On each Settlement Date, Servicer will apply (i) the Finance Charge Collections on deposit in the Second-Tier Account and (ii) all remaining Principal Collections after making the distributions pursuant to clauses first and second of subsection (b) above, pursuant to Section 2.2(a), together with the applicable Hedge Floating Amount, if any, paid to Seller by each Hedge Provider and any net income from Permitted Investments deposited to the Second-Tier Account pursuant to Section 2.8, in accordance with the applicable Payment Instructions, to make the following distributions in the following amounts and order of priority:
first, to the reimbursement of Agent’s, each Purchaser’s and each Purchaser Agent’s costs of collection and enforcement of this Agreement,
second, to Agent for the account of the Purchasers, all accrued and unpaid fees under any Fee Letter and all accrued and unpaid CP Costs and Financial Institution Yield, including any accrued CP Costs and Financial Institution Yield in respect of Capital reduced pursuant to clause second of subsection (b) above, together with any Broken Funding Costs,

fourth, to Agent as a reduction of Aggregate Capital an amount necessary to pay in full the Outstanding Balance of any Receivables that became Defaulted Receivables during the related Settlement Period and Receivables that became Defaulted Receivables during any prior Settlement Period that have not previously been the subject of payment hereunder,
fifth, if Seller or an Affiliate of Seller is then acting as Servicer, to Servicer in payment of the Servicing Fee,
sixth, to the applicable Persons, for the ratable payment in full of all other unpaid Obligations, and
seventh, the balance, if any, in the following priority: first, to Agent for deposit to the Second-Tier Account if the conditions of Section 7.3 requiring that the Hedging Agreements be in effect have occurred, but the Hedging Agreements are not then in effect (such amount to be set aside and held in trust for application in accordance with this Section 2.2(c) on the next occurring Settlement Date), second, to the Reserve Account, to the extent there is a Reserve Account Deficiency, until the amount on deposit therein equals the Reserve Account Required Amount and then third, subject to Section 2.6, to Seller as RPA Deferred Purchase Price.
(d) Each Terminating Financial Institution shall be allocated a ratable portion of Collections from the Liquidity Termination Date that such Terminating Financial Institution did not consent to extend (as to such Terminating Financial Institution, the “Termination Date”), until, with respect to a Terminating Financial Institution, such Terminating Financial Institution’s Capital, if any, shall be paid in full and the applicable, ratable portion of the RPA Deferred Purchase Price allocable to such Terminating Financial Institution’s portion of the Asset Portfolio has been paid in full in accordance with the priority of payments set forth in Section 2.2(b).  This ratable portion shall be calculated on the Termination Date of each Terminating Financial Institution as a percentage equal to (i) Capital of such Terminating Financial Institution outstanding on its Termination Date, divided by (ii) the Aggregate Capital outstanding on such Termination Date (the “Termination Percentage”).  Each Terminating Financial Institution’s Termination Percentage shall remain constant prior to the Amortization Date.  On and after the Amortization Date, each Termination Percentage shall be disregarded, and each Terminating Financial Institution’s Capital shall be reduced ratably with all Financial Institutions in accordance with Section 2.3.

None of Seller or any Originator shall be permitted to further delegate to any other Person any of the duties or responsibilities of Servicer delegated to it by PDCo.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing subsection (b), (i) PDCo shall be and remain primarily liable to Agent, the Purchaser Agents and the Purchasers and the Hedge Providers (if any) for the full and prompt performance of all duties and responsibilities of Servicer hereunder and (ii) Agent, the Purchaser Agents and the Purchasers shall be entitled to deal exclusively with PDCo in matters relating to the discharge by Servicer of its duties and responsibilities hereunder.

From and after the date Agent delivers a Collection Notice to any Collection Bank or a Postal Notice to any post office pursuant to Section 8.3, Agent may request that Servicer, and Servicer thereupon promptly shall instruct all Obligors with respect to the Receivables, to remit all payments thereon to a new lock-box, post office box or depositary account specified by Agent and, at all times thereafter, Seller and Servicer shall not deposit or otherwise credit, and shall not permit any other

(d) Servicer may, in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy, extend the maturity of any Receivable or adjust the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable as Servicer determines to be appropriate to maximize Collections thereof; provided, however, that such extension or adjustment shall not (x) alter the status of such Receivable as a Delinquent Receivable, Defaulted Receivable or Charged-Off Receivable and for purposes of determining if such Receivable is a Delinquent Receivable, Defaulted Receivable or Charged-Off Receivable, the original due date for such Receivable shall continue to apply or (y) limit the rights of Agent, the Purchaser Agents or the Purchasers under this Agreement; provided further, however, that solely with respect to any Eligible COVID-19 Modified Receivable, no installment payment that has been reduced to $0 during the related 3 month deferral period in connection with the COVID-19 Deferred Payment Program shall be considered delinquent for purposes of this Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Agent shall have the absolute and unlimited right to direct Servicer to commence or settle any legal action with respect to any Receivable or to foreclose upon or repossess any Related Security.

Section 10.2 Increased Cost and Reduced Return.  (a)  If any Regulatory Change (i) subjects any Purchaser or any Funding Source to any charge or withholding on or with respect to any Funding Agreement or this Agreement or a Purchaser’s or Funding Source’s obligations under a Funding Agreement or this Agreement, or on or with respect to the Receivables, or changes the basis of taxation of payments to any Purchaser or any Funding Source of any amounts payable under any Funding Agreement or this Agreement (except for changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of a Purchaser or Funding Source or taxes excluded by Section 10.1) or (ii) imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve, assessment, fee, tax, insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or liabilities of a Funding Source or a Purchaser, or credit extended by a Funding Source or a Purchaser pursuant to a Funding Agreement or this Agreement or (iii) imposes any other condition the result of which is to increase the cost to a Funding Source or a Purchaser of performing its obligations under a Funding Agreement or this Agreement, or to reduce the rate of return on a Funding Source’s or Purchaser’s capital as a consequence of its obligations under a Funding Agreement or this Agreement, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by a Funding Source or a Purchaser under a Funding Agreement or this Agreement, or to require any payment calculated by reference to the amount of interests or loans held or interest received by it, then, upon demand by Agent, Seller shall pay to Agent, for the benefit of the relevant Funding Source or Purchaser, such amounts charged to such Funding Source or Purchaser or such amounts to otherwise compensate such Funding Source or such Purchaser for such increased cost or such reduction.
(b) A certificate of the applicable Purchaser or Funding Source setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Purchaser or Funding Source pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 10.2 shall be delivered to Seller and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(c) If any Purchaser or any Funding Source has or anticipates having any claim for compensation from Seller pursuant to clause (iii) of the definition of Regulatory Change, and such Purchaser or Funding Source believes that having the Facility publicly rated by one credit rating agency would reduce the amount of such compensation by an amount deemed by such Purchaser or Funding Source to be material, such Purchaser or Funding Source shall provide written notice to Seller and Servicer (a “Ratings Request”) that such Purchaser or Funding Source intends to request a public rating of the Facility from one credit rating agency selected by such Purchaser or Funding Source and reasonably acceptable to Seller, of at least AA equivalent (the “Required Rating“).  Seller and Servicer agree that they shall cooperate with such Purchaser’s or Funding Source’s efforts to obtain the Required Rating, and shall provide the applicable credit rating agency (either directly or through distribution to Agent, Purchaser or 
        45

Funding Source), any information requested by such credit rating agency for purposes of providing and monitoring the Required Rating.  Seller shall pay the initial fees payable to the credit rating agency for providing the rating and all ongoing fees payable to the credit rating agency for their continued monitoring of the rating.  Nothing in this Section 10.2(c) shall preclude any Purchaser or Funding Source from demanding compensation from Seller pursuant to Section 10.2(a) hereof at any time and without regard to whether the Required Rating shall have been obtained, or shall require any Purchaser or Funding Source to obtain any rating on the Facility prior to demanding any such compensation from Seller.
Section 10.3 Other Costs and Expenses.  Seller shall reimburse Agent, each Purchaser Agent and each Conduit on demand for all costs and out-of-pocket expenses in connection with the preparation, negotiation, arrangement, execution, delivery, enforcement and administration of this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby and the other documents to be delivered hereunder, including without limitation, the cost of any Conduit’s auditors auditing the books, records and procedures of Seller, reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of legal counsel for any Conduit, any Purchaser Agent and/or Agent (which such counsel may be employees of any Conduit, any Purchaser Agent or Agent) with respect thereto and with respect to advising any Conduit, any Purchaser Agent and/or Agent as to their respective rights and remedies under this Agreement.  Seller shall reimburse Agent and each Purchaser Agent on demand for any and all costs and expenses of Agent, the Purchaser Agents and the Purchasers, if any, including reasonable counsel fees and expenses in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement and the other documents delivered hereunder and in connection with any restructuring or workout of this Agreement or such documents, or the administration of this Agreement following an Amortization Event.  Seller shall reimburse each Conduit on demand for all other costs and expenses incurred by such Conduit (“Other Costs”), including, without limitation, the cost of auditing such Conduit’s books by certified public accountants, the cost of rating the Commercial Paper of such Conduit by independent financial rating agencies, and the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel for such Conduit or any counsel for any shareholder of such Conduit with respect to advising such Conduit or such shareholder as to matters relating to such Conduit’s operations.
Section 10.4 Allocations.  Each Conduit shall allocate the liability for Other Costs among Seller and other Persons with whom such Conduit has entered into agreements to purchase interests in receivables (“Other Sellers”).  If any Other Costs are attributable to Seller and not attributable to any Other Seller, Seller shall be solely liable for such Other Costs.  However, if Other Costs are attributable to Other Sellers and not attributable to Seller, such Other Sellers shall be solely liable for such Other Costs.  All allocations to be made pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Article X shall be made by the applicable Conduit in its sole and absolute discretion and shall be binding on Seller and Servicer.
Section 10.5 Accounting Based Consolidation Event.  Upon demand by Agent, Seller shall pay to Agent, for the benefit of the relevant Funding Source, such amounts as such Funding Source reasonably determines will compensate or reimburse such Funding Source for any (i) fee, expense or increased cost charged to, incurred or otherwise suffered by such Funding Source, (ii) reduction in  the rate of return on such Funding Source’s capital or reduction in the 
        46

amount of any sum received or receivable by such Funding Source or (iii) internal capital charge or other imputed cost determined by such Funding Source to be allocable to Seller or the transactions contemplated in this Agreement, in each case resulting from or in connection with the consolidation, for financial and/or regulatory accounting purposes, of all or any portion of the assets and liabilities of the Conduit, that are subject to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document with all or any portion of the assets and liabilities of a Funding Source.  Amounts under this Section 10.5 may be demanded at any time without regard to the timing of issuance of any financial statement by the Conduit or by any Funding Source. A certificate of the Funding Source setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Funding Source pursuant to this Section 10.5 shall be delivered to Seller and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Seller shall pay such Funding Source the amount as due on any such certificate on the next Settlement Date following receipt of such notice.
Section 10.6 Required Rating.  Agent shall have the right at any time to request that a public rating of the Facility of at least the Required Rating be obtained from one credit rating agency acceptable to Agent.  Each of Seller and Servicer agree that they shall cooperate with Agent’s efforts to obtain the Required Rating, and shall provide Agent, for distribution to the applicable credit rating agency, any information requested by such credit rating agency for purposes of providing the Required Rating.  Any Ratings Request shall be in writing, and if the Required Rating is not obtained within 60 days following the date of such Ratings Request (unless the failure to obtain the Required Rating is solely the result of Agent’s failure to provide the credit rating agency with sufficient information to permit the credit rating agency to perform their analysis, and is not the result of Seller or Servicer’s failure to cooperate or provide sufficient information to Agent), (i) upon written notice by Agent to Seller, the Amortization Date shall occur, and (ii) outstanding Capital shall thereafter incur the Default Fee and costs associated with obtaining the Required Rating hereunder shall be paid by Seller or Servicer.
