entity and to make it apparent to third Persons that the Seller is an entity with assets and liabilities distinct from those of Peabody and any other Person, and is not a division of Peabody, its Affiliates or any other Person. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing and in addition to and consistent with the other covenants set forth herein, each of the Seller and Peabody shall take such actions as shall be required in order that:

except as set forth in this Agreement nor incur any indebtedness or liability, other than as expressly permitted by the Transaction Documents;

The Seller desires to sell, transfer and assign receivables, and the Purchasers desire to acquire such receivables from time to time on the
terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein. 







 This Agreement amends and restates in its entirety, as of the Closing Date, the Fourth Amended
and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 1, 2013 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified prior to the Closing Date, the “Original Agreement”), among the Seller, the Servicer, the
Sub-Servicers, the various Purchasers and Purchaser Agents party thereto and the Administrator. Notwithstanding the amendment and restatement of the Original Agreement by this Agreement, (i) the Seller and Servicer shall continue to be liable
to the Administrator, the Purchasers and Purchaser Agents party to the Original Agreement and any other Indemnified Party or Affected Person (as such terms are defined in the Original Agreement) for fees and expenses which are accrued and unpaid
under the Original Agreement on the Closing Date (collectively, the “Original Agreement Outstanding Amounts”) and all agreements to indemnify such parties in connection with events or conditions arising or existing prior to the

Amounts shall have been paid in full. Upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, each reference to the Original Agreement in any other document, instrument or agreement shall mean and be a reference to this Agreement. Nothing contained herein, unless
expressly herein stated to the contrary, is intended to amend, modify or otherwise affect any other instrument, document or agreement executed and/or delivered in connection with the Original Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, all Capital,
Discount, Letters of Credit, Fees and all other amounts outstanding or owing by the Seller under the Original Agreement remain outstanding or owing by the Seller (or the Servicer or Sub-Servicers, as the case may be) hereunder. 

In consideration of the mutual agreements, provisions and covenants contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows: 

ARTICLE I. 
 AMOUNTS AND
TERMS OF THE INVESTMENTS 
 Section 1.1 Investment Facility. 

 

	 	(a)	 On the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, the Seller may, from time to time before the Facility
Termination Date, (i) request that the Purchasers ratably make investments with regard to the Purchased Assets from time to time from the date hereof to the Facility Termination Date in accordance with Section 1.2. Each investment
requested by the Seller pursuant to Section 1.2(a) (each, an “Investment”) in the Purchased Assets shall be made ratably by the respective Purchaser Groups, and each Purchaser Group’s Ratable Share of each
Investment shall be made and funded (x) if such Purchaser Group contains a Conduit Purchaser and such Conduit Purchaser elects (in its sole discretion) to make and fund such portion of such Investment, by such Conduit Purchaser, or (y) if
such Purchaser Group does not contain a Conduit Purchaser or if the Conduit Purchaser in such Purchaser Group declines (in its sole discretion) to make or fund such portion of such Investment, by the Committed Purchaser in such Purchaser Group and
(ii) request that the LC Bank issue or cause to issue Letters of Credit. Subject to Section 1.6(b) concerning reinvestments, at no time will a Conduit Purchaser have




  
 2 









	 	
any obligation to make an Investment. Each Committed Purchaser severally hereby agrees, on the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, to make Investments from time to time from the Closing
Date to the Facility Termination Date, based on the applicable Purchaser Group’s Percentage of each Investment requested pursuant to Section 1.2(a) (and, in the case of each Committed Purchaser, its Commitment Percentage of its
Purchaser Group’s Percentage of such Investment) and, on the terms of and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the LC Bank agrees to issue Letters of Credit in return for (and each LC Participant hereby severally agrees to make
participation advances in connection with any draws under such Letters of Credit equal to such LC Participant’s Pro Rata Share of such draws), the Purchased Assets from time to time from the Closing Date to the Facility Termination Date;
provided, that under no circumstances shall any Purchaser make any Investment (including, without limitation, any mandatory deemed Investment pursuant to Section 1.1(b)) or issue any Letters of Credit hereunder, as applicable, if,
after giving effect to such Investment or issuance, the (i) Group Capital of such Purchaser’s Purchaser Group would exceed (A) its Purchaser Group’s Group Commitment (as the same may be reduced from time to time pursuant to
Section 1.1(c)) minus (B) the related LC Participant’s Pro Rata Share of the LC Participation Amount, (ii) the Aggregate Capital plus the LC Participation Amount would exceed the Purchase Limit, (iii) the LC
Participation Amount would exceed the aggregate of the Commitments of the LC Bank and the LC Participants or (iv) the Purchased Assets Coverage Percentage would exceed 100%. 


The Seller may, subject to the requirements and conditions set forth herein, use the proceeds of any Investment or Reinvestment by the
Purchasers hereunder, to satisfy its Reimbursement Obligation to the LC Bank and the LC Participants (ratably, based on the outstanding amounts funded by the LC Bank and each such LC Participant) pursuant to Section 1.16 below. 

 

	 	(b)	In addition, in the event the Seller fails to reimburse the LC Bank and each applicable LC Participant for the full amount of any drawing under any Letter of Credit on the applicable Drawing Date (out of its own funds
available therefor, or otherwise, at such time), pursuant to Section 1.16, then the Seller shall, automatically (and without the requirement of any further action on the part of any Person hereunder), be deemed to have requested a new
Investment from the Conduit Purchasers or Committed Purchasers, as applicable, on such date, pursuant to the terms hereof, in an amount equal to the amount of such Reimbursement Obligation at such time. Subject to the limitations on funding set
forth in Section 1.1(a) above (and otherwise herein), the Conduit Purchasers or Committed Purchasers, as applicable, shall fund such deemed Investment request and deliver the proceeds thereof directly to the Administrator to be
immediately distributed (ratably) to the LC Bank and the applicable LC Participants in satisfaction of the Seller’s Reimbursement Obligation pursuant to Section 1.16 below, to the extent of the amounts permitted to be funded by the
Conduit Purchasers or Committed Purchasers, as applicable, at such time, hereunder. Neither Peabody nor any of its Subsidiaries (including the Originators), other than the Seller, shall be liable for the Reimbursement Obligation. 


  
 3 









	 	(c)	The Seller may, upon at least 30 days’ written notice to the Administrator, irrevocably reduce the unused portion of the Purchase Limit in whole or in part (but not below the amount that would cause the Aggregate
Capital plus the LC Participation Amount to exceed the Purchase Limit or would cause the Group Capital of any Purchaser Group to exceed its Group Commitment, in each case, after giving effect to such reduction); provided, that each partial
reduction shall be in the amount of at least $5,000,000, or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, and that, unless terminated in whole, the Purchase Limit shall in no event be reduced below $50,000,000. Each reduction in the
Commitments hereunder shall be made ratably among the Purchasers in accordance with their respective Purchaser Group’s Percentages and their respective Commitments. The Administrator shall promptly advise the Purchaser Agents of any notice
pursuant to this Section 1.1(c); it being understood that (in addition to and without limiting any other requirements for termination, prepayment and/or the funding of the LC Collateral Account hereunder) no such reduction shall be
effective unless and until (i) in the case of a reduction of the Purchase Limit in whole to zero ($0), the amount on deposit in the LC Collateral Account is at least equal to the then outstanding LC Participation Amount and (ii) in the
case of a partial reduction, the amount on deposit in the LC Collateral Account is at least equal to the difference between the then outstanding LC Participation Amount and the Purchase Limit as so reduced by such partial reduction.


 Section 1.2 Making Investments; Initial Investment; Joinders; Related Agreements. 

 

	 	(a)	Each request for any Investment hereunder may be made on any day upon the Seller’s irrevocable written notice in the form of Annex B (each, an “Investment Notice”) delivered to the
Administrator and each Purchaser Agent in accordance with Section 5.2 (which notice must be received by the Administrator and each Purchaser Agent before 11:00 a.m., New York City time) at least one Business Day before the requested
Investment Date, which notice shall specify: (A) the amount requested to be paid to the Seller (such amount, which shall not be less than $300,000 and shall be in integral multiples of $100,000, with respect to each Purchaser Group,
(B) the requested date of such Investment (which shall be a Business Day) and (C) the pro forma calculation of the Purchased Assets Coverage Percentage after giving effect to the increase in the Capital. 


 

	 	(b)	On the date of each Investment hereunder, each applicable Purchaser (determined in accordance with Section 1.1(a)) shall, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Exhibit II, make
available to the Seller in same day funds, at the account set forth on Schedule VII, an amount equal to the Capital of the Investment being funded by such Purchaser.

 Section 1.3 Transfer of Receivables and Other Purchased Assets. 

 

	 	(a)	Sale of Receivables. In consideration of the payment by each applicable Purchaser of the amount of the applicable Purchaser Group’s share of the initial Investment on the date of the initial Investment
hereunder, the Committed Purchasers’ assumption of their respective Commitments and the Administrator’s agreement (on behalf of the applicable Purchasers) to make payments to the Seller from time to time in accordance with
Section 1.4 and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which the Seller hereby acknowledges, effective on the Closing Date (without limiting any prior sales pursuant to Section 1.3(a) of the
Original Agreement, which prior sales are hereby ratified and affirmed), the Seller hereby sells, conveys, transfers and assigns to the Administrator, on behalf of the Purchasers, all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to (i) all
Pool Receivables existing on the Closing Date or thereafter arising or acquired by the Seller from time to time prior to the Facility Termination Date and (ii) all Related Security, whether existing on the Closing Date or thereafter arising at
any time and acquired by the Seller. 

  

	 	(b)	Purchase of Purchased Assets. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Administrator (on behalf of the Purchasers) hereby purchases and accepts from the Seller the Pool Receivables and all other Related
Security sold, assigned and transferred pursuant to Section 1.3(a) (collectively, the “Purchased Assets”). 

  

	 	(c)	Obligations Not Assumed. The foregoing sale, assignment and transfer does not constitute and is not intended to result in the creation, or an assumption by the Administrator, any Purchaser Agent or any Purchaser,
of any obligation of the Seller, any Originator or any other Person under or in connection with the Receivables or any other Related Security, all of which shall remain the obligations and liabilities of the Seller, the Originator and/or such other
Person, as applicable. 

 Section 1.4 Terms and Conditions for Sale, Assignment and Transfer. Subject to the terms
and conditions hereof, including Exhibit II, in consideration for the sale, assignment and transfer of the Purchased Assets by the Seller to the Administrator (on behalf of the Purchasers) hereunder: 

 

	 	(a)	Investments. From time to time prior to the Facility Termination Date, on request of the Seller for an Investment in accordance with Section 1.2(a), the applicable Purchasers in each Purchaser Group
(determined in accordance with Section 1.1(a)), in accordance with Section 1.2(b), shall pay to the Seller the applicable Purchaser Group’s Percentage of the amount requested by the Seller under
Section 1.2(a). 

  

	 	(b)	 Reinvestments. On each Business Day prior to the Facility Termination Date, the Servicer, on behalf of the
Administrator, shall pay to the Seller, out of Collections of the Pool Receivables, the amount available for reinvestment in accordance with Section 1.6(b)(ii). Each such payment is herein referred to as a “Reinvestment”




  
 5 








 
(and “Reinvest” shall have the correlative meaning). All Reinvestments with respect to the applicable Purchasers shall be made ratably on behalf of the applicable Purchasers in
the relevant Purchaser Group in accordance with the respective outstanding portions of the Aggregate Capital funded by them. 
  

	 	(c)	Deferred Purchase Price. The Servicer, on behalf of the Administrator and the Purchasers, shall pay to the Seller, from Collections, the amounts payable to the Seller from time to time pursuant to
Section 1.6(b)(ii), Section 1.6(b)(iv) and clause sixth of Section 1.6(d)(ii) (such amounts, the “Deferred Purchase Price” with respect to the Purchased Assets) at the times specified in
such Sections, which remittances shall satisfy the obligation (up to the amount actually received by the Seller or Servicer) of the Administrator on behalf of the Purchasers to pay the Deferred Purchase Price with respect to the Purchased Assets to
the Seller. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Administrator and the Purchasers shall have the right to, and intend to, set off (i) the Seller’s obligation to pay (or cause to be paid) to the Purchasers (or to the
Administrator on their behalf) all Collections on the portion of the Purchased Assets attributable to the Deferred Purchase Price against (ii) the Administrator’s and the Purchasers’ obligations to pay (or cause to be paid) to the
Seller the Deferred Purchase Price. 

  

	 	(d)	Seller Payments Limited to Collections. Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Agreement to the contrary, none of the Administrator, the Purchaser Agents or the Purchasers shall be obligated to pay any
amount to the Seller as the purchase price of the Purchased Assets pursuant to subsections (b) and (c) above except to the extent of Collections on Receivables available for distribution to the Seller in accordance with this
Agreement. Any amount that the Administrator, any Purchaser Agent or any Purchaser does not pay pursuant to the preceding sentence shall not constitute a claim (as defined in § 101 of the Bankruptcy Code) against or corporate obligation of such
Person for any such insufficiency unless and until such amount becomes available for distribution to the Seller in accordance with Section 1.6(d)(ii). 


 

	 	(e)	 Intent of the Parties. The Seller, the Administrator, the Purchaser Agents and the Purchasers intend that
the sale, assignment and transfer of Purchased Assets to the Administrator (on behalf of the Purchasers) shall be treated as a sale for all purposes (other than for federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes as provided in the
following paragraph of this clause (e)). If notwithstanding the intent of the parties, such sale, transfer and assignment is not treated as a sale for such purposes, such sale, assignment and transfer shall be treated as the grant of, and the
Seller does hereby grant to the Administrator (for the benefit of the Purchasers) a security interest in the following property to secure all of the Seller’s obligations (monetary or otherwise) under this Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents to which it is a party, whether now or hereafter existing or arising, due or to become due, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent: all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under all of the following, whether now
or hereafter owned, existing or arising: (i) all Pool Receivables, (ii) all Related 



  
 6 









	 	
Security with respect to such Pool Receivables, (iii) all Collections with respect to such Pool Receivables, (iv) (A) the Lock-Box Accounts and all amounts on deposit therein, and
all certificates and instruments, if any, from time to time evidencing such Lock-Box Accounts and amounts on deposit therein and (B) the LC Collateral Account and all amounts on deposit therein, and all certificates and instruments, if any,
from time to time evidencing such LC Collateral Account and amounts on deposit therein, (v) all rights (but none of the obligations) of the Seller, including any security interests granted to it, under the Sale Agreement and the Contribution
Agreement, (vi) the Servicer Note and (vii) all proceeds of, and all amounts received or receivable under any or all of, the foregoing (collectively, the “Pool Assets”). The Seller hereby authorizes the Administrator to
file financing statements describing as the collateral covered thereby as “all assets of the debtor, whether now owned or hereafter created, acquired or arising, and all proceeds of the foregoing” or words to that effect, notwithstanding
that such wording may be broader in scope than the collateral described in this Agreement. The Administrator, for the benefit of the Purchasers, shall have, with respect to the Pool Assets, and in addition to all the other rights and remedies
available to the Administrator and the Purchasers, all the rights and remedies of a secured party under any applicable UCC. The Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that pursuant to the Original Agreement, the Seller granted to the Administrator a
security interest in all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Purchased Assets (as defined in the Original Agreement). The Seller hereby confirms such security interest and acknowledges and agrees that such security
interest is continuing and is supplemented and restated by the security interest granted by the Seller pursuant to this Section 1.4(e). 


Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph of this clause (e), the Seller, the Administrator, the Purchaser Agents, the Purchasers and all
other parties to this Agreement intend and agree to treat, for U.S. federal, state and local income and franchise tax (in the nature of income tax) purposes only, the sale, assignment and transfer of the Purchased Assets to the Administrator (on
behalf of the Purchasers) as a loan to the Seller secured by the Pool Assets. The provisions of this Agreement and all related Transaction Documents shall be construed to further these intentions of the parties. 

 

	 	(f)	LC Participant Investments. Whenever the LC Bank issues a Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 1.14 hereof, each LC Participant shall, automatically and without further action of any kind upon the
effective date of issuance of such Letter of Credit, have irrevocably deemed to make an Investment hereunder in the event that such Letter of Credit is subsequently drawn and such drawn amount shall not have been reimbursed pursuant to
Section 1.16 upon such draw. All such Investments shall comprise Base Rate Portions of Capital in an amount equal to the amount of such draw (without regard to the numerical requirements set forth in Section 1.2(a)), shall be
made ratably by the LC Participants according to their Pro Rata Shares and shall accrue Discount. In the event that any Letter of Credit expires or is surrendered without being drawn (in whole or in part) then, in such event, the foregoing
commitment to make Investments shall expire with respect to such Letter of Credit and the LC Participation Amount shall automatically reduce by the amount of the Letter of Credit which is no longer outstanding. 


  
 7 









	 	(g)	Additional Purchasers or Purchaser Groups. The Seller may, with the written consent of the Administrator (and, in the case of a new LC Participant, the LC Bank), which consent may be granted or withheld in their
sole discretion, add additional Persons as Purchasers (either to an existing Purchaser Group or by creating new Purchaser Groups) or cause an existing Committed Purchaser or related LC Participant to increase its Commitment in connection with a
corresponding increase in the Purchase Limit; provided, that the Commitment of any Committed Purchaser or related LC Participant may only be increased with the prior written consent of such Committed Purchaser or related LC Participant. Each
new Conduit Purchaser, Committed Purchaser or related LC Participant (or Purchaser Group) shall become a party hereto, by executing and delivering to the Administrator, each Purchaser Agent and the Seller, an Assumption Agreement in the form of
Annex F hereto (which Assumption Agreement shall, in the case of any new Conduit Purchaser, Committed Purchaser or LC Participant, be executed by each Person in such new Purchaser’s Purchaser Group). 


 

	 	(h)	Nature of Obligations; Defaulting Purchasers. Each Committed Purchaser’s and related LC Participant’s obligations hereunder shall be several, such that the failure of any Committed Purchaser or related
LC Participant to make a payment in connection with any Investment or drawing under a Letter of Credit hereunder, as the case may be, shall not relieve any other Committed Purchaser or related LC Participant of its obligation hereunder to make
payment for any such Investment or drawing. Further, in the event any Committed Purchaser or related LC Participant fails to satisfy its obligation to make an Investment or payment with respect to such drawing as required hereunder, upon receipt of
notice of such failure from the Administrator (or any relevant Purchaser Agent), subject to the limitations set forth herein, the non-defaulting Committed Purchasers or related LC Participants in such defaulting Committed Purchaser’s or related
LC Participant’s Purchaser Group shall fund the defaulting Committed Purchaser’s or related LC Participant’s Commitment Percentage of the related Investment or drawing pro rata in proportion to their relative Commitment
Percentages (determined without regard to the Commitment Percentage of the defaulting Committed Purchaser or related LC Participant; it being understood that a defaulting Committed Purchaser’s or related LC Participant’s
Commitment Percentage of any such Investment or drawing shall be first funded by the Committed Purchasers or related LC Participants in such defaulting Committed Purchaser’s or related LC Participant’s Purchaser Group and thereafter if
there are no other Committed Purchasers or related LC Participants in such Purchaser Group or if such other Committed Purchasers or related LC Participants are also defaulting Committed Purchasers or related LC Participants, then such defaulting
Committed Purchaser’s or related LC Participant’s Commitment Percentage of such Investment or drawing shall be funded by each other Purchaser Group ratably and applied in accordance with this Section 1.4(h)). Notwithstanding
the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, each Committed Purchaser’s and LC Participant’s obligation to fund any such Investment or drawing pursuant to this Section 1.4(h) shall be subject in all respects to the limitations
set forth in the proviso to Section 1.1(a).

 Section 1.5 Purchased Assets Coverage Percentage Computation. 

The Purchased Assets Coverage Percentage shall be initially computed under this Agreement on the Closing Date. Thereafter, until the Facility
Termination Date, such Purchased Assets Coverage Percentage shall be automatically recomputed (or deemed to be recomputed) on each Business Day other than a Termination Day. From and after the occurrence of any Termination Day, the Purchased Assets
Coverage Percentage shall (until the event(s) giving rise to such Termination Day are satisfied or are waived in accordance with Section 5.1) be deemed to be 100%. The Purchased Assets Coverage Percentage shall become zero when the Final
Payout Date has occurred and the Servicer shall have received the accrued Servicing Fee thereon. 
 Section 1.6 Settlement
Procedures. 
  

	 	(a)	The collection of the Pool Receivables shall be administered by the Servicer in accordance with this Agreement. The Seller shall provide to the Servicer on a timely basis all information needed for such administration,
including notice of the occurrence of any Termination Day and current computations of the Purchased Assets Coverage Percentage. 

  

	 	(b)	The Servicer shall, on each day on which Collections of Pool Receivables are received (or deemed received) by the Seller or the Servicer, including pursuant to Section 1.6(g): 


(i) set aside and hold in trust (and shall, at the request of the Administrator, segregate in a separate account approved by
the Administrator) for the benefit of the Purchasers, out of such Collections, first, an amount equal to the Aggregate Discount accrued through such day for each Portion of Capital and not previously set aside, second, an amount equal
to the Fees accrued and unpaid through such day, and third, to the extent funds are available therefor, an amount equal to the Servicing Fee accrued through such day and not previously set aside, 

(ii) subject to Section 1.6(f), if such day is not a Termination Day, remit to the Seller the remainder of such
Collections. Such remainder shall, (x) to the extent representing a return of the Aggregate Capital, be automatically reinvested (ratably among the Purchasers according to each Purchaser’s Capital) in Pool Receivables, and in the Related
Security, Collections and other proceeds with respect thereto and (y) to the extent not representing a return of the Aggregate Capital, be paid to the Seller in respect of the Deferred Purchase Price for the Purchased Assets; provided,
however, that if the Purchased Assets Coverage Percentage would exceed 100%, then the Servicer shall not reinvest or remit to the Seller, but shall set aside and hold in trust for the benefit of the Purchasers (and shall, at the request of
the Administrator, segregate in a separate account approved by the Administrator) a portion of such Collections that, together with the other Collections set 

  
 9 








 
aside pursuant to this paragraph, shall equal the amount necessary to reduce the Purchased Assets Coverage Percentage to 100% (determined as if such Collections set aside had been applied to
reduce the Aggregate Capital or Adjusted LC Participation Amount, as applicable, at such time), which amount shall either (A) be deposited ratably to the Administration Account (for the benefit of the Purchasers) or (B) be deposited in the
LC Collateral Account, in each case, as applicable, on the next Settlement Date in accordance with Section 1.6(c); provided, further, that (x) in the case of any Purchaser that is a Conduit Purchaser, if such Purchaser
has provided notice (a “Declining Notice”) to its Purchaser Agent, the Administrator, and the Servicer that such Purchaser (a “Declining Conduit Purchaser”) no longer wishes Collections with respect to any Portion
of Capital funded or maintained by such Purchaser to be reinvested pursuant to this clause (ii), and (y) in the case of any Purchaser that has provided notice (an “Exiting Notice”) to its Purchaser Agent of its refusal,
pursuant to Section 1.12, to extend its Commitment hereunder (an “Exiting Purchaser”) then in either case (x) or (y), above, such Purchaser’s ratable share (determined according to outstanding Capital) of such
remaining Collections shall not be reinvested or remitted to the Seller and shall instead be held in trust for the benefit of such Purchaser and applied in accordance with clause (iii) below, 

(iii) if such day is a Termination Day (or any day following the provision of a Declining Notice or an Exiting Notice), set
aside, segregate and hold in trust (and shall, at the request of the Administrator, segregate in a separate account approved by the Administrator) for the benefit of the Purchasers the entire remainder of such Collections (or in the case of a
Declining Conduit Purchaser or an Exiting Purchaser an amount equal to such Purchaser’s ratable share (determined according to outstanding Capital) of such Collections; provided, that solely for the purpose of determining such
Purchaser’s ratable share of such Collections, such Purchaser’s Capital shall be deemed to remain constant from the date of the provision of a Declining Notice or an Exiting Notice, as the case may be, until the date such Purchaser’s
Capital has been paid in full; it being understood that if such day is also a Termination Day, such Declining Conduit Purchaser’s or Exiting Purchaser’s Capital shall be recalculated taking into account amounts received by such
Purchaser in respect of this parenthetical and thereafter Collections shall be set aside for such Purchaser ratably in respect of its Capital (as recalculated)); provided, further, that if amounts are set aside and held in trust on any
Termination Day of the type described in clause (a) of the definition of “Termination Day” (or any day following the provision of a Declining Notice or an Exiting Notice) and, thereafter, the conditions set forth in
Section 2 of Exhibit II are satisfied or waived by the Administrator and the Majority Purchaser Agents (or in the case of a Declining Notice or an Exiting Notice, such Declining Notice or Exiting Notice, as the case may be, has
been revoked by the related Declining Conduit Purchaser or Exiting Purchaser, respectively and written notice thereof has been provided to the Administrator, the related Purchaser Agent and the Servicer), such previously set-aside amounts shall, to
the extent representing a return of Aggregate Capital (or the Capital of the Declining Conduit Purchaser or Exiting Purchaser, as the case may be) and ratably (determined according to outstanding Capital), be reinvested and/or paid to the Seller in
respect of the Deferred Purchase Price for the Purchased Assets in accordance with clause (ii) above on the day of such subsequent satisfaction or waiver of conditions or revocation of Declining Notice or Exiting Notice, as the case may
be, and 

  
 10 








 (iv) subject to Section 1.6(f), pay to the Seller (on behalf of the
Administrator and the Purchasers) for the Seller’s own account and in payment of the Deferred Purchase Price for the Purchased Assets any Collections in excess of: (x) amounts required to be reinvested in accordance with clause
(ii) above or the last proviso to clause (iii) above, plus (y) the amounts that are required to be set aside pursuant to clause (i) above, the provisos to clause (ii) and
clause (iii) above, plus (z) all reasonable and appropriate out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Servicer for servicing, collecting and administering the Pool Receivables. 

 

	 	(c)	The Servicer shall, in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 1.6(d), deposit into the Administration Account (or such other account designated by the Administrator), on each Settlement Date
(or, solely with respect to Collections held for the Purchasers pursuant to Section 1.6(f)(iii), such other date approved by the Administrator with at least five (5) Business Days prior written notice to the Administrator of such
payment), Collections held for the Purchasers pursuant to Section 1.6(b)(i), (ii) or (iii) or 1.6(f); provided, that if Peabody or an Affiliate thereof is the Servicer, such day is not a Termination
Day and the Administrator has not notified Peabody (or such Affiliate) that the right to retain the portion of Collections set aside pursuant to Section 1.6(b)(i) that represents the Servicing Fee is revoked, Peabody (or such Affiliate)
may retain the portion of the Collections set aside pursuant to Section 1.6(b)(i) that represents the Servicing Fee in payment in full of the accrued Servicing Fees so set aside. On the last day of each Settlement Period, each Purchaser
(or its Purchaser Agent on its behalf) will notify the Servicer by electronic mail of the amount of Discount accrued with respect to each Portion of Capital during such Settlement Period or portion thereof. 


 

	 	(d)	Upon receipt of funds deposited into the Administration Account pursuant to clause (c) above, the Administrator shall cause such funds to be distributed as follows: 


(i) if such distribution occurs on a day that is not a Termination Day and the Purchased Assets Coverage Percentage does not
exceed 100%, first to the Purchaser Agents (for the benefit of the Purchasers in their respective Purchaser Groups) in payment in full of all accrued Discount and Fees, and second, if the Servicer has set aside amounts in respect of
the Servicing Fee pursuant to clause (b)(i) above and has not retained such amounts pursuant to clause (c) above, to the Servicer (payable in arrears on each Settlement Date) in payment in full of the accrued Servicing Fees so set
aside, and 
 (ii) if such distribution occurs on a Termination Day or on a day when the Purchased Assets Coverage Percentage
exceeds 100%, first to the Purchaser Agents (for the benefit of the Purchasers in their respective Purchaser Groups) in payment in full of all accrued Discount and Fees, second to the Purchaser Agents (for the benefit of the Purchasers
in their respective Purchaser Groups) in payment in full of Capital (or, if such day is not a Termination Day, the amount necessary to reduce the Purchased Assets Coverage Percentage to 100%) (determined as if such Collections had been applied to
reduce the aggregate outstanding Capital), third, to the LC Collateral Account for the benefit of the LC Bank and the LC Participants, (x) the amount (if any) necessary to cause 

  
 11 








 
the amount of cash collateral held in the LC Collateral Account (other than amounts representing LC Fee Expectation) to equal the aggregate outstanding amount of the LC Participation Amount (or,
if such day is not a Termination Day, the amount necessary to reduce the Purchased Assets Coverage Percentage to 100%) (determined as if such Collections had been applied to reduce the aggregate outstanding amount of the LC Participation Amount) and
(y) if such day is a Termination Day or a Termination Event is continuing, an amount equal to the LC Fee Expectation at such time (or such portion thereof not currently on deposit in the LC Collateral Account), fourth, to the Servicer in
payment in full of all accrued Servicing Fees, fifth, if all amounts owing under clauses first through fourth above have been paid in full, to the Purchaser Agents (for the benefit of such Purchaser Agent and the Purchasers in
their respective Purchaser Groups), the Administrator and any other Indemnified Party or Affected Person in payment in full of any other amounts owed thereto by the Seller hereunder, and sixth, after the occurrence of the Final Payout Date,
all additional Collections with respect to the Purchased Assets shall be paid to the Seller for its own account in payment of the Deferred Purchase Price for such Purchased Assets. 

 

	 	(e)	For the purposes of this Section 1.6: 

 (i) if on any day the
Outstanding Balance of any Pool Receivable is reduced or adjusted as a result of any defective, rejected, returned, repossessed or foreclosed goods or services, or any revision, cancellation, allowance, rebate, discount or other adjustment made by
the Seller or any Affiliate of the Seller, or any setoff or dispute between the Seller or any Affiliate of the Seller and an Obligor, the Seller shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection of such Pool Receivable in the amount of such
reduction or adjustment; 
 (ii) if on any day any of the representations or warranties in Section l(g) or
(m) of Exhibit III is not true with respect to any Pool Receivable, the Seller shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection of such Pool Receivable in full; 

(iii) except as provided in clause (i) or (ii) above, or as otherwise required by Applicable Law or the
relevant Contract, all Collections received from an Obligor of any Receivable shall be applied to the Receivables of such Obligor in the order of the age of such Receivables, starting with the oldest such Receivable, unless such Obligor designates
in writing its payment for application to specific Receivables; and 
 (iv) if and to the extent the Administrator, any
Purchaser Agent or any Purchaser shall be required for any reason to pay over to an Obligor (or any trustee, receiver, custodian or similar official in any Insolvency Proceeding) any amount received by it hereunder, such amount shall be deemed not
to have been so received by the Administrator, such Purchaser Agent or such Purchaser but rather to have been retained by the Seller and, accordingly, the Administrator, such Purchaser Agent or such Purchaser, as the case may be, 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. 

  
 12 









	 	(f)	If at any time the Seller shall wish to cause the reduction of Aggregate Capital (but not to commence the liquidation, or reduction to zero, of the entire Aggregate Capital), the Seller may do so as follows:


 (i) the Seller shall give the Administrator, each Purchaser Agent and the Servicer written notice in the
form of Annex C (the “Paydown Notice”) at least two Business Days prior to the date of such reduction for any reduction of Aggregate Capital and such notice shall include the amount of such reduction and the proposed date on
which such reduction shall commence; 
 (ii) on the proposed date of the commencement of such reduction and on each day
thereafter, the Servicer shall cause Collections not to be reinvested until the amount thereof not so reinvested shall equal the desired amount of reduction; and 

(iii) the Servicer shall hold such Collections in trust for the benefit of the Administrator (for the benefit of each
Purchaser), for payment to the Administrator by deposit into the Administration Account on the next Settlement Date immediately following the current Settlement Period or such other date approved by the Administrator and the Majority Purchaser
Agents, and Capital shall be deemed reduced in the amount to be paid to the Administrator only when in fact finally so paid; 
 provided, that the
amount of any such reduction shall be not less than $300,000 and shall be an integral multiple of $100,000. Upon receipt by the Administrator in the Administration Account of any amount paid in reduction of the Aggregate Capital pursuant to
sub-clause (iii) above, the Administrator shall cause such funds to be distributed to the Purchaser Agents (for the benefit of the Purchasers in their respective Purchaser Groups) in payment of each Purchaser’s outstanding Capital.

 (g) The Servicer may, in its sole discretion, and shall at the direction of the Administrator (which direction may be given no more than
once per week unless a Termination Event has occurred and is then continuing), deliver an Interim Report to the Administrator on any Business Day other than a Settlement Date. Upon receipt of such Interim Report, the Administrator shall promptly
review such Interim Report to determine if such Interim Report constitutes a Qualifying Interim Report. In the event that the Administrator reasonably determines that such Interim Report constitutes a Qualifying Interim Report, so long as no
Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and so long as the Facility Termination Date has not yet occurred, the Administrator shall promptly remit to the Servicer from the Lock-Box Account (or the LC Collateral
Account, if applicable) the lesser of (i) the amount identified on such Qualifying Interim Report as Collections on deposit in the Lock-Box Account and/or LC Collateral Account in excess of the amount necessary to ensure that the Purchased
Assets Coverage Percentage does not exceed 100% and (ii) the aggregate amount of available Collections then on deposit in the Lock-Box Accounts and the LC Collateral Account. For purposes of this clause (g), “Qualifying Interim
Report” shall mean any Interim Report that satisfies each of the following conditions: (A) the Purchased Assets Coverage Percentage as set forth in such Interim Report shall not exceed 100%; (B) such Interim Report is calculated
as of the immediately prior Business Day and (C) all of the information and calculations set forth in such 

  
 13 








 
Interim Report are true and correct. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrator shall have no obligation to remit funds to the Seller or the Servicer or any Affiliate thereof from the Lock-Box
Account (or the LC Collateral Account, if applicable) unless the Administrator shall have received a Qualifying Interim Report. 

Section 1.7 Fees. 
  

	 	(a)	The Seller shall pay to the Administrator, the Purchasers and the Purchaser Agents the fees in the amounts and on the dates set forth in those certain fee
letter agreements for each Purchaser Group, in each case, from time to time entered into among Peabody, the Seller and the applicable Purchaser Agent and/or the Administrator (as such letter agreements may be amended, supplemented or otherwise
modified from time to time, the “Fee Letters”). 

  

	 	(b)	The Seller agrees to pay to each Purchaser Agent, for the account of the Purchasers in such Purchaser
Agent’s Purchaser Group, the following fees: 


(i) a “Program Fee” accruing on each day from and after the
date hereof until the Final Payout Date, which Program Fee for each such day shall be an amount equal to the product of (i) 5.00%, multiplied by (ii) the aggregate outstanding Capital of the Purchasers in such Purchaser Group on such day,
multiplied by (iii) 1/360; 
 (ii) an “Unused Fee”
accruing on each day from and after the date hereof until the Final Payout Date, which Unused Fee for each such day shall be an amount equal to the product of (i) 0.80%, multiplied by (ii) the excess, if any, of (A) such Purchaser
Group’s Group Commitment on such day, over (B) the sum of (1) the aggregate outstanding Group Capital of such Purchaser Group on such day, plus (2) the aggregate LC Participation Amount held by all such LC Participants in such
Purchaser Group on such day, multiplied by (iii) 1/360; 
 (iii)
an “LC Participation Fee” accruing on each day from and after the date hereof until the date on or after the Final Payout Date when the LC Participation Amount of the LC Participant in such Purchaser Group has been reduced to zero ($0),
which LC Participation Fee for each such day shall be an amount equal to the product of (i) 5.00%, multiplied by (ii) the aggregate LC Participation Amount held by all such LC Participants in such Purchaser Group on such day, multiplied by
(iii) 1/360; and 
  

	 	(c)	In addition to the foregoing, the Seller agrees to pay, to PNC, as LC Bank, an “LC Bank Fee” accruing on each day from and after the date hereof until
the date on or after the Final Payout Date when the LC Participation Amount has been reduced to zero ($0), which LC Bank Fee for each such day shall be an amount equal to the product of (i) 0.15%, multiplied by (ii) the LC Participation
Amount on such day, multiplied by (iii) 1/360.

	 	(a)	All amounts to be paid or deposited by the Seller or the Servicer hereunder shall be made without reduction for offset or counterclaim and shall be paid or deposited no later than noon (New York City time) on the day

Collections held in trust for Declining Conduit Purchasers and Exiting Purchasers), the Administrator shall distribute (or cause to be distributed) such amounts to the Purchaser Agents for the Purchasers within their respective Purchaser Groups
ratably (x) in the case of such amounts paid in respect of Discount and Fees, according to the Discount and Fees payable to the Purchasers and (y) in the case of such amounts paid in respect of Capital (or in respect of any other
obligations other than Discount and Fees), according to the outstanding Capital funded by the Purchasers. 
 (ii) Except as
expressly set forth herein (including, without limitation, as set forth in Section 1.6(b)(iii) with respect to Collections held in trust for Declining Conduit Purchasers and Exiting Purchasers), each Purchaser Agent shall distribute the

 Section 1.9 Increased Costs. 

 

	 	(a)	If after the Closing Date the Administrator, the LC Bank, any Purchaser Agent, any Purchaser, any Liquidity Bank, any other Program Support Provider or any of their respective Affiliates (each an “Affected
Person”) reasonably determines that any Change in Law affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Affected Person, and such Affected Person determines that the amount of such capital is
increased by or based upon the existence of any commitment to make Investments in (or otherwise to maintain the Investments in) Pool Receivables or issue any Letter of Credit related to this Agreement or any related liquidity facility, credit
enhancement facility and other commitments of the same type, then, upon demand by such Affected Person or its related Purchaser Agent (with a copy to the Administrator), the Seller shall promptly pay to the Administrator, for the account of such
Affected Person, from time to time as specified by such Affected Person or its related Purchaser Agent, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Affected Person in the light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Affected Person
reasonably determines such increase in capital to be allocable to the existence of any of such commitments. 

  

	 	(b)	If due to any Change in Law there shall be any increase after the Closing Date in the cost to any Affected Person of agreeing to purchase or purchasing, or maintaining the ownership of, the Purchased Assets (or its
portion thereof and including, without limitation, funding or maintaining its Capital), then, upon demand by such Affected Person, the Seller shall promptly pay to such Affected Person, from time to time as specified by such Affected Person,
additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Affected Person for such increased costs. 

  

	 	(c)	If such increased costs affect the related Affected Person’s portfolio of financing transactions, such Affected Person shall use reasonable averaging and attribution methods to allocate such increased costs to the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 

  

	 	(d)	A certificate of an Affected Person (or its related Purchaser Agent) setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Affected Person as specified in clause (a) or (b) of this
Section and delivered to the Seller and the Administrator, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Seller shall pay such Affected Person’s related Purchaser Agent (for the account of such Affected Person) the amount shown as due on the
first Settlement Date occurring after the Seller’s receipt of such certificate. 


  
 16 









	 	(e)	Failure or delay on the part of any Affected Person to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 1.9 shall not constitute a waiver of such Affected Person’s right to demand such compensation;
provided that the Seller shall not be required to compensate an Affected Person pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 270 days prior to the date that such Affected Person, notifies the Seller of the
Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Affected Person’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions
is retroactive, then the 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. 


Section 1.10 Requirements of Law. 
  

	 	(a)	If, after the Closing Date, any Affected Person determines that any Change in Law: 


(i) does or shall subject such Affected Person to any Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any purchase
of or investment in the Purchased Assets or any increase in the amount of Capital relating thereto, or does or shall change the basis of taxation of payments to such Affected Person on account of Collections, Discount or any other amounts payable
hereunder (excluding Indemnified Taxes and Excluded Taxes), 
 (ii) does or shall impose, modify or hold applicable any
reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, purchases, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by,
any office of such Affected Person that are not otherwise included in the determination of the Euro-Rate hereunder, or 

(iii) does or shall impose on such Affected Person any other condition, 

and the result of any of the foregoing is: (A) to increase the cost to such Affected Person of agreeing to purchase or purchasing or maintaining the
ownership of, or issuing any Letter of Credit in respect of, the Purchased Assets (or interests therein) or any Portion of Capital, or (B) to reduce any amount receivable hereunder (whether directly or indirectly), then, in any such case, upon
demand by such Affected Person, the Seller shall promptly pay to such Affected Person additional amounts necessary to compensate such Affected Person for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable. All such amounts shall be payable as
incurred. 
 (b) A certificate of an Affected Person (or its related Purchaser Agent) setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to
compensate such Affected Person as specified in clause (a) of this Section and delivered to the Seller and the Administrator, shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided, however, that no Affected Person shall be
required to disclose any confidential or tax planning information in any such certificate. The Seller shall pay such Affected Person’s related Purchaser Agent (for the account of such Affected Person) the amount shown as due on each Settlement
Date occurring after the Seller’s receipt of such certificate. 

  
 17 








 (c) Failure or delay on the part of any Affected Person to demand compensation pursuant to this
Section 1.10 shall not constitute a waiver of such Affected Person’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Seller shall not be required to compensate an Affected Person pursuant to this Section for any
increased costs or reductions incurred more than 270 days prior to the date that such Affected Person, notifies the Seller of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Affected Person’s intention to claim
compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect
thereof. 
 Section 1.11 Inability to Determine Euro-Rate. 

 

	 	(a)	If the Administrator (or any Purchaser Agent) determines on any day (which determination shall be final and conclusive) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank eurodollar market generally, deposits in
dollars (in the relevant amounts for such Settlement Period) are not being offered to banks in the interbank eurodollar market on such day, or adequate means do not exist for ascertaining the Euro-Rate on such day, then, the Administrator or such
Purchaser Agent, as applicable, shall give notice thereof to the Seller. Thereafter, until the Administrator or such Purchaser Agent notifies the Seller that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, (i) no Portion of
Capital shall be funded at the Alternate Rate determined by reference to the Euro-Rate and (ii) the Discount for any outstanding Portions of Capital then funded at the Alternate Rate determined by reference to the Euro-Rate shall be converted
to the Alternate Rate determined by reference to the Base Rate. 

  

	 	(b)	If, on any day, the Administrator shall have been notified by any Affected Person that, such Affected Person has determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive) that, any enactment, promulgation or
adoption of or any change in any Applicable Law or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by a governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by
such Affected Person with any guideline, request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall make it unlawful or impossible for such Affected Person to fund or maintain any
Portion of Capital at the Alternate Rate and based upon the Euro-Rate, the Administrator shall notify the Seller thereof. Upon receipt of such notice, until the Administrator notifies the Seller that the circumstances giving rise to such
determination no longer apply, (i) no Portion of Capital shall be funded at the Alternate Rate determined by reference to the Euro-Rate and (ii) the Discount for any outstanding Portions of Capital then funded at the Alternate Rate
determined by reference to the Euro-Rate shall immediately be converted to the Alternate Rate determined by reference to the Base Rate. 


  
 18 








 Section 1.12 Extension of the Facility Termination Date. 

Provided that no Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event exists and is continuing, the Seller may request the extension of the
Facility Termination Date set forth in clause (a) of the definition thereof by providing written notice to the Administrator and each Purchaser Agent; provided such request is made not more than 120 days prior to, and not less
than 60 days prior to, the then current Facility Termination Date scheduled to occur pursuant to clause (a) of the definition thereof. In the event that the Purchasers are all agreeable to such extension, the Administrator shall so
notify the Seller and the Servicer in writing (it being understood that each Purchaser may accept or decline such a request in its sole discretion and on such terms as it may elect) not less than 30 days prior to the then current Facility
Termination Date scheduled to occur pursuant to clause (a) of the definition thereof, and the Seller, the Servicer, the Sub-Servicers, the Administrator, the Purchaser Agents and the Purchasers shall enter into such documents as the
Administrator, the Purchaser Agents and the Purchasers may deem necessary or appropriate to reflect such extension, and all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Purchasers, the Purchaser Agents and the Administrator in connection therewith
(including reasonable Attorney Costs) shall be paid by the Seller. In the event any Purchaser declines the request for such extension, such Purchaser (or its Purchaser Agent) shall so notify the Administrator and the Administrator shall so notify
the Seller of such determination; provided, that the failure of the Administrator to notify the Seller of the determination to decline such extension shall not affect the understanding and agreement that the applicable Purchasers shall be
deemed to have refused to grant the requested extension in the event the Administrator fails to affirmatively notify the Seller, in writing, of their agreement to accept the requested extension. If the Facility Termination Date is extended with
respect to one or more, but less than all Purchasers, then the Purchase Limit shall be reduced ratably with respect to the Purchasers in each Purchaser Group by an amount equal to the Commitment(s) of the Exiting Purchaser(s) and the Commitment
Percentages and Group Commitments of the Purchasers within each Purchaser Group shall be appropriately adjusted. 
 Section 1.13
Letters of Credit. 
 Subject to the terms and conditions hereof (including the satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in
Exhibit II), the LC Bank shall issue or cause the issuance of standby Letters of Credit (“Letters of Credit”), at the Seller’s direction, for the account of the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer (or such of the
Servicer’s or any Sub-Servicer’s designee, which designee shall be a Subsidiary of such Sub-Servicer or the Servicer, as applicable)). All amounts drawn upon Letters of Credit shall accrue Discount. Letters of Credit that have not been
drawn upon shall not accrue Discount. 
 Section 1.14 Issuance of Letters of Credit. 

 

	 	(a)	The Seller may request the LC Bank, upon two (2) Business Days’ prior written notice submitted on or before 11:00 a.m., New York time, to issue a Letter of Credit by delivering to the Administrator an
Investment Notice substantially in the form of Annex B attached hereto and the LC Bank’s form of Letter of Credit Application (the “Letter of Credit Application”), substantially in the form of Annex E attached
hereto completed to the satisfaction of the Administrator and the LC Bank; and, such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as the Administrator may reasonably request. The Seller also has the right to give instructions and
make agreements with respect to any Letter of Credit Application and the disposition of documents, and to agree with the Administrator upon any amendment, extension or renewal of any Letter of Credit.

or on any Business Day after 11:00 a.m. New York time on such day, on the next Business Day. 

 Section 1.15
Requirements For Issuance of Letters of Credit.

	 	(b)	 In the event of any request for a drawing under a Letter of Credit by the beneficiary or transferee thereof, the
LC Bank will promptly notify the Administrator and the Seller of such request. Provided that it shall have received such notice, the Seller shall reimburse (such obligation to reimburse the LC Bank shall sometimes be referred to as a
“Reimbursement Obligation” and the required date of reimbursement, the “Reimbursement Date”) the LC Bank prior to 12:00 p.m., New 



  
 20 









	 	
York time on each date that an amount is paid by the LC Bank under any Letter of Credit (each such date, a “Drawing Date”) in an amount equal to the amount so paid by the LC
Bank. Such Reimbursement Obligation shall be satisfied by the Seller (i) first, by the remittance by the Administrator to the LC Bank of any available amounts then on deposit in the LC Collateral Account and (ii) second, by the remittance
by or on behalf of the Seller to the LC Bank of any other funds of the Seller then available for disbursement. In the event the Seller fails to reimburse the LC Bank for the full amount of any drawing under any Letter of Credit by 12:00 p.m., New
York time, on the Reimbursement Date, the LC Bank will promptly notify each LC Participant thereof, and the Seller shall be deemed to have requested that an Investment be made by the Purchasers in the Purchaser Groups for the LC Bank and the LC

whereupon the LC Participants shall each be deemed to have made an Investment in that amount. If any LC Participant so notified fails to make available to the LC Bank the amount of such LC Participant’s Pro Rata Share of such amount by no later
than 2:00 p.m., New York time on the Drawing Date, then interest shall accrue on such LC Participant’s obligation to make such payment, from the Drawing Date to the date on which such LC Participant makes such payment (i) at a rate per
annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate during the first three days following the Drawing Date and (ii) at a rate per annum equal to the rate applicable to Capital on and after the fourth day following the Drawing Date. The LC Bank will promptly
give notice of the occurrence of the Drawing Date, but failure of the LC Bank to give any such notice on the Drawing Date or in sufficient time to enable any LC Participant to effect such payment on such date shall not relieve such LC Participant
from its obligation under this clause (c), provided that such LC Participant shall not be obligated to pay interest as provided in subclauses (i) and (ii) above until and commencing from the date of receipt of
notice from the LC Bank or the Administrator of a drawing. Each LC Participant’s Commitment shall continue until the last to occur of any of the following events: (A) the LC Bank ceases to be obligated to issue or cause to be issued
Letters of Credit hereunder; (B) no Letter of Credit issued hereunder remains outstanding and uncancelled or (C) all Persons (other than the Seller) have been fully reimbursed for all payments made under or relating to Letters of Credit.

	 	(a)	Upon (and only upon) receipt by the LC Bank for its account of immediately available funds from the Seller (i) in reimbursement of any payment made by the LC Bank under a Letter of Credit with respect to which any
LC Participant has made a participation advance to the LC Bank, or (ii) in payment of Discount on the Investments made or deemed to have been made in connection with any such draw, the LC Bank will pay to each LC Participant, ratably (based on
the outstanding drawn amounts funded by each such LC Participant in respect of such Letter of Credit), in the same funds as those received by the LC Bank; it being understood, that the LC Bank shall retain a ratable amount of
such funds that were not the subject of any payment in respect of such Letter of Credit by any LC Participant. 

  

	 	(b)	If the LC Bank is required at any time to return to the Seller, or to a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian, or any official in any insolvency proceeding, any portion of the payments made by the Seller to the LC
Bank pursuant to this Agreement in reimbursement of a payment made under the Letter of Credit or interest or fee thereon, each LC Participant shall, on demand of the LC Bank, forthwith return to the LC Bank the amount of its Pro Rata Share of any
amounts so returned by the LC Bank plus interest at the Federal Funds Rate from the date the payment was first made to such LC Participant through, but not including, the date the payment is returned by such LC Participant. 


 

	 	(c)	If any Letters of Credit are outstanding and undrawn on the Facility Termination Date, the LC Collateral Account shall be funded from Collections (or, in the Seller’s sole discretion, by other cash available to the
Seller) in an amount equal to the aggregate undrawn face amount of such Letters of Credit plus all applicable fees to accrue through the stated expiration dates thereof (such fees to accrue, as reasonably estimated by the LC Bank, the “LC

 23

as applicable, designee, which designee shall be a Subsidiary of such Sub-Servicer or the Servicer, as applicable) named as the “Applicant” or “Account Party” of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the
respective foregoing, none of the Administrator, the LC Bank, the LC Participants, the Purchaser Agents or the Purchasers shall be responsible for: (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document
submitted by any party in connection with the application for an issuance of any such Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged (even if the LC Bank shall
have been notified thereof); (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in
part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) the failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit, or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred, to comply fully with any conditions

any Governmental Acts, and none of the above shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of, any of the LC Bank’s rights or powers hereunder. Nothing in the preceding sentence shall relieve the LC Bank from liability for its gross negligence
or willful misconduct, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, in connection with actions or omissions described in such clauses (i) through (viii) of such sentence. In no event shall the
Administrator, the LC Bank, the LC Participants, the Purchaser Agents, the Purchasers or their respective Affiliates, be liable to the Seller or any other Person for any indirect, consequential, incidental, punitive, exemplary or special damages or
expenses (including without limitation attorneys’ fees), or for any damages resulting from any change in the value of any property relating to a Letter of Credit. 

  
 25

Participants, the Purchaser Agents, the Purchasers and each of their respective Affiliates (i) may rely on any written communication believed in good faith by such Person to have been authorized or given by or on behalf of the applicant for a
Letter of Credit; (ii) may honor any presentation if the documents presented appear on their face to comply with the terms and conditions of the relevant Letter of Credit; (iii) may honor a previously dishonored presentation under a Letter
of Credit, whether such dishonor was pursuant to a court order, to settle or compromise any claim of wrongful dishonor, or otherwise, and shall be entitled to reimbursement to the same extent as if such presentation had initially been honored,
together with any interest paid by the LC Bank or its Affiliates; (iv) may honor any drawing that is payable upon presentation of a statement advising negotiation or payment, upon receipt of such statement (even if such statement indicates that
a draft or other document is being delivered separately), and shall not be liable for any failure of any such draft or other document to arrive, or to conform in any way with the relevant Letter of Credit; (v) may pay any paying or negotiating
bank claiming that it rightfully honored under the laws or practices of the place where such bank is located; and (vi) may settle or adjust any claim or demand made on the Administrator, the LC Bank, the LC Participants, the Purchaser Agents,
the Purchasers or their respective Affiliates, in any way related to any order issued at the applicant’s request to an air carrier, a letter of guarantee or of indemnity issued to a carrier or any similar document (each an
“Order”) and honor any drawing in connection with any Letter of Credit that is the subject of such Order, notwithstanding that any drafts or other documents presented in connection with such Letter of Credit fail to conform in any
way with such Letter of Credit. 
 In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions set forth above, any action
taken or omitted by the LC Bank under or in connection with the Letters of Credit issued by it or any documents and certificates delivered thereunder, if taken or omitted in good faith and without gross negligence or willful misconduct, as
determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, shall not put the LC Bank under any resulting liability to the Seller, any LC Participant or any other Person.

Receivable or limit the rights of any of the Purchasers, the Purchaser Agents or the Administrator under this Agreement and (iii) if a Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and Peabody or an Affiliate thereof is serving as the
Servicer, Peabody or such Affiliate may make such extension or adjustment only upon the prior approval of the Administrator. The Seller shall deliver to the Servicer and the Servicer shall hold for the benefit of the Seller and the Administrator
(individually and for the benefit of the Purchasers), in accordance with their respective interests, all records and documents (including computer tapes or disks) with respect to each Pool Receivable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, the Administrator may direct the Servicer (whether the Servicer is Peabody or any other Person) to commence or settle any legal action to enforce collection of any Pool Receivable or to foreclose upon or repossess any Related
Security. 

  

	 	(b)	The Servicer shall, as soon as practicable following actual receipt of collected funds, turn over to the Seller the collections of any indebtedness that is not a Pool Receivable, less, if Peabody or an Affiliate thereof
is not the Servicer, all reasonable and appropriate out-of-pocket costs and expenses of such Servicer of servicing, collecting and administering such collections. The Servicer, if other than Peabody or an Affiliate thereof, shall, as soon as
practicable upon demand, deliver to the Seller all records in its possession that evidence or relate to any indebtedness that is not a Pool Receivable, and copies of records in its possession that evidence or relate to any indebtedness that is a
Pool Receivable. 

  

	 	(c)	The Servicer’s obligations hereunder shall terminate on the Final Payout Date. 


  
 31 








 After such termination, if Peabody or an Affiliate thereof was not the Servicer on the date of
such termination, the Servicer shall promptly deliver to the Seller all books, records and related materials that the Seller previously provided to the Servicer, or that have been obtained by the Servicer, in connection with this Agreement. 

Section 4.3 Lock-Box Arrangements. 

Prior to the Closing Date, the Seller shall have entered into Lock-Box Agreements with all of the Lock-Box Banks and delivered original
counterparts thereof to the Administrator. At all times on and after the Closing Date, the Administrator shall exercise exclusive dominion and control (for the benefit of the Purchasers) over each of the Lock-Box Accounts and all funds on deposit
therein; provided, that such control shall be subject to the provisions of Section 1.6(g) and amounts on deposit therein shall be applied in accordance with the order of priorities set forth in Section 1.6. The Seller, the
Servicer and each Sub-Servicer each hereby agrees that the Administrator shall have exclusive control (for the benefit of the Purchasers) of the proceeds (including Collections) of all Pool Receivables and the Seller and the Servicer hereby further
agree to take any other action that the Administrator may reasonably request to ensure that the Administrator maintains such control. Neither the Seller nor any Affiliate of Peabody shall have any control over any Lock-Box Account or any right to
withdraw or direct the Administrator, any Lock-Box Bank or any other Person to withdraw any funds on deposit in any Lock-Box Account. 
 The
Administrator shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over the LC Collateral Account and the Seller hereby grants the Administrator a security interest in the LC Collateral Account and all money or
other assets on deposit therein or credited thereto. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrator and at the Seller’s risk and expense,
such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in the LC Collateral Account. Moneys in the LC Collateral Account shall be applied by the Administrator to reimburse the LC Bank for each
drawing under a Letter of Credit and for repayment of amounts owing by the Seller hereunder and under each of the other Transaction Documents to each of the other Purchasers, it being understood and agreed that certain amounts on deposit in the LC
Collateral Account may, from time to time, be remitted to the Servicer pursuant to Section 1.6(g). Amounts, if any, on deposit in the LC Collateral Account on the Final Payout Date shall be remitted by the Administrator to the Seller.

 The Administrator shall, on each Settlement Date (if such date occurs on a Termination Day or on a date that any Capital is then
outstanding), remove any available amounts then on deposit in the Lock-Box Accounts and the LC Collateral Account and deposit such amounts into each Purchaser Agent’s account in accordance with the priorities set forth in
Section 1.6(d), to the extent that any amounts are then due and owing under clauses first through second of Section 1.6(d)(ii) after giving effect to the distribution, if any, by the Servicer on such date in
accordance with Section 1.6(d). 

  
 32 








 Section 4.4 Enforcement Rights. 

 

	 	(a)	At any time following the occurrence and during the continuation of a Termination Event: 


(i) the Administrator may direct the Obligors that payment of all amounts payable under any Pool Receivable is to be made
directly to the Administrator or its designee (on behalf of the Purchasers), 
 (ii) the Administrator may instruct the
Seller or the Servicer to give notice of the Purchasers’ interest in Pool Receivables to each Obligor, which notice shall direct that payments be made directly to the Administrator or its designee (on behalf of the Purchasers), and the Seller
or the Servicer, as the case may be, shall give such notice at the expense of the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be; provided, that if the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, fails to so notify each Obligor within two
(2) Business Days following instruction by the Administrator, the Administrator (at the Seller’s or the Servicer’s, as the case may be, expense) may so notify the Obligors, and 

(iii) the Administrator may request the Servicer to, and upon such request the Servicer shall: (A) assemble all of the
records necessary or desirable to collect the Pool Receivables and the Related Security, and transfer or license to a successor Servicer the use of all software necessary or desirable to collect the Pool Receivables and the Related Security, and
make the same available to the Administrator or its designee (for the benefit of the Purchasers) at a place selected by the Administrator, and (B) segregate all cash, checks and other instruments received by it from time to time constituting
Collections in a manner acceptable to the Administrator and, promptly upon receipt, remit all such cash, checks and instruments, duly endorsed or with duly executed instruments of transfer, to the Administrator or its designee (on behalf of the
Purchasers); and 
 (iv) the Administrator may replace the Person then acting as Servicer. 

 

	 	(b)	The Seller hereby authorizes the Administrator, and irrevocably appoints the Administrator as its attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution and with full authority in the place and stead of the Seller, which
appointment is coupled with an interest, to take any and all steps in the name of the Seller and on behalf of the Seller necessary or desirable following the occurrence and during the continuation of a Termination Event, in the determination of the
Administrator, to collect any and all amounts or portions thereof due under any and all Pool Assets, including endorsing the name of the Seller on checks and other instruments representing Collections and enforcing such Pool Assets. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this subsection, none of the powers conferred upon such attorney-in-fact pursuant to the preceding sentence shall subject such attorney-in-fact to any liability if any action taken by it shall prove to be
inadequate or invalid, nor shall they confer any obligations upon such attorney-in-fact in any manner whatsoever. 


  
 33 








 Section 4.5 Responsibilities of the Seller. 

 

	 	(a)	Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Seller shall: (i) perform all of its obligations, if any, under the Contracts related to the Pool Receivables to the same extent as if such Pool Receivables had
not been transferred hereunder, and the exercise by the Administrator, any Purchaser Agent or any Purchaser of their respective rights hereunder shall not relieve the Seller from such obligations, and (ii) pay when due any taxes, including any
sales taxes payable in connection with the Pool Receivables and their creation and satisfaction. Neither the Administrator nor any Purchaser Agent nor any Purchaser shall have any obligation or liability with respect to any Pool Asset, nor shall any
of them be obligated to perform any of the obligations of the Seller, Peabody or any Originator thereunder. 

  

	 	(b)	Peabody hereby irrevocably agrees that if at any time it shall cease to be the Servicer hereunder, it shall act (if the then-current Servicer so requests) as the data-processing agent of the Servicer and, in such
capacity, Peabody shall conduct the data-processing functions of the administration of the Receivables and the Collections thereon in substantially the same way that Peabody conducted such data-processing functions while it acted as the Servicer.


 Section 4.6 Servicing Fee. 
  

	 	(a)	Subject to clause (b), the Servicer shall be paid a fee equal to 1.00% per annum (the “Servicing Fee Rate”) of the daily average aggregate Outstanding Balance of the Pool Receivables.
Such fee shall be paid through the distributions contemplated by Section 1.6(d). 

  

	 	(b)	If the Servicer ceases to be Peabody or an Affiliate thereof, the servicing fee shall be the greater of: (i) the amount calculated pursuant to clause (a), and (ii) an alternative amount specified by the
successor Servicer not to exceed 110% of the aggregate reasonable costs and expenses incurred by such successor Servicer in connection with the performance of its obligations as Servicer. 


Section 4.7 Agents. 
  

	 	(a)	Appointment and Authorization. 

 (i) Each Purchaser and Purchaser Agent
hereby irrevocably designates and appoints PNC Bank, National Association, as the “Administrator” hereunder and authorizes the Administrator to take such actions and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrator hereby and
to exercise such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrator shall hold, in its name, for the benefit of each Purchaser, ratably, the Purchased Assets. The Administrator shall not have any duties other than those expressly
set forth herein or any fiduciary relationship with any Purchaser or Purchaser Agent, and no implied obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement, or otherwise exist, against the Administrator. The Administrator does not assume, nor
shall it be deemed to have assumed, any obligation to, or relationship of trust 

  
 34

Administrator ever be required to take any action which exposes the Administrator to personal liability or which is contrary to the provision of any Transaction Document or Applicable Law. 

(ii) Each Purchaser hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the respective institution identified as the Purchaser Agent for
such Purchaser’s Purchaser Group on the signature pages hereto or in the Assumption Agreement or Transfer Supplement pursuant to which such Purchaser becomes a party hereto, and each authorizes such Purchaser Agent to take such action on its
behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to such Purchaser Agent by the terms of this Agreement, if any, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental
thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, no Purchaser Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Purchaser or other
Purchaser Agent or the Administrator, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities on the part of such Purchaser Agent shall be read into this Agreement or otherwise exist against such Purchaser Agent.

 (iii) Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 4.7 are
solely for the benefit of the Purchaser Agents, the Administrator and the Purchasers, and none of the Seller, the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer shall have any rights as a third-party beneficiary or otherwise
under any of the provisions of this Section 4.7, except that this Section 4.7 shall not affect any obligations which any Purchaser Agent, the Administrator or any Purchaser may have to the Seller, the Servicer or any
Sub-Servicer under the other provisions of this Agreement. Furthermore, no Purchaser shall have any rights as a third-party beneficiary or otherwise under any of the provisions hereof in respect of a Purchaser Agent which is not the Purchaser Agent
for such Purchaser. 
 (iv) In performing its functions and duties hereunder, the Administrator shall act solely as the agent
of the Purchasers and the Purchaser Agents and does not assume nor shall be deemed to have assumed any obligation or relationship of trust or agency with or for the Seller, the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer or any of their successors and assigns. In
performing its functions and duties hereunder, each Purchaser Agent shall act solely as the agent of its respective Purchaser and does not assume nor shall be deemed to have assumed any obligation or relationship of trust or agency with or for the
Seller, the Servicer, any Sub-Servicer any other Purchaser, any other Purchaser Agent or the Administrator, or any of their respective successors and assigns. 
  

	 	(b)	Delegation of Duties. The Administrator may execute any of its duties through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The
Administrator shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. 


  
 35 









	 	(c)	Exculpatory Provisions. None of the Purchaser Agents, the Administrator or any of their respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted (i) with the
consent or at the direction of the Majority Purchaser Agents (or in the case of any Purchaser Agent, the Purchasers within its Purchaser Group that have a majority of the aggregate Commitment of such Purchaser Group) or (ii) in the absence of
such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrator shall not be responsible to any Purchaser, Purchaser Agent or other Person for (i) any recitals, representations, warranties or other statements made by the Seller,
the Servicer, any Sub-Servicer, any Originator or any of their Affiliates, (ii) the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of any Transaction Document, (iii) any failure of the Seller, the Servicer, any
Sub-Servicer, any Originator or any of their Affiliates to perform any obligation hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party (or under any Contract), or (iv) the satisfaction of any condition specified in
Exhibit II. The Administrator shall not have any obligation to any Purchaser or Purchaser Agent to ascertain or inquire about the observance or performance of any agreement contained in any Transaction Document or to inspect the properties,
books or records of the Seller, the Servicer, any Sub-Servicer, any Originator or any of their respective Affiliates. 

  

	 	(d)	Reliance by Agents. 

 (i) Each Purchaser Agent and the Administrator
shall in all cases be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any document or other writing or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person and upon advice
and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Seller or the Servicer), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrator. Each Purchaser Agent and the Administrator shall in all cases be fully justified in failing
or refusing to take any action under any Transaction Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Majority Purchaser Agents (or in the case of any Purchaser Agent, the Purchasers within its Purchaser Group that have a
majority of the aggregate Commitment of such Purchaser Group), and assurance of its indemnification, as it deems appropriate. 

(ii) The Administrator shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement in
accordance with a request of the Majority Purchaser Agents or the Purchaser Agents, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all Purchasers, the Administrator and Purchaser Agents. 

(iii) The Purchasers within each Purchaser Group with a majority of the Commitment of such Purchaser Group shall be entitled to
request or direct the related Purchaser Agent to take action, or refrain from taking action, under this Agreement on behalf of all of the Purchasers within such Purchaser Group. Each Purchaser Agent also shall in all cases be fully protected in
acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement in accordance with a request of the Majority Purchaser Agents, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of such Purchaser
Agent’s Purchasers. 

  
 36 








 (iv) Unless otherwise advised in writing by a Purchaser Agent or by any Purchaser
on whose behalf such Purchaser Agent is purportedly acting, each party to this Agreement may assume that (i) such Purchaser Agent is acting for the benefit of each of the Purchasers in respect of which such Purchaser Agent is identified as
being the “Purchaser Agent” in the definition of “Purchaser Agent” hereto, as well as for the benefit of each assignee or other transferee from any such Person, and (ii) each action taken by such Purchaser Agent has been
duly authorized and approved by all necessary action on the part of the Purchasers on whose behalf it is purportedly acting. Each Purchaser Agent and its Purchaser(s) shall agree amongst themselves as to the circumstances and procedures for removal,
resignation and replacement of such Purchaser Agent. Each Purchaser shall promptly notify the Seller, the Servicer and the Administrator in writing of any removal, resignation or replacement of such Purchaser’s Purchaser Agent. 

 

	 	(e)	Notice of Termination Events. Neither any Purchaser Agent nor the Administrator shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event unless such
Purchaser Agent or the Administrator, as applicable, has received notice from any Purchaser, Purchaser Agent, the Servicer, any Sub-Servicer or the Seller stating that a Termination Event or an Unmatured Termination Event has occurred hereunder and
describing such Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event. In the event that the Administrator receives such a notice, it shall promptly give notice thereof to each Purchaser Agent whereupon each such Purchaser Agent shall promptly give
notice thereof to its related Purchasers. In the event that a Purchaser Agent receives such a notice (other than from the Administrator), it shall promptly give notice thereof to the Administrator. The Administrator shall take such action concerning
a Termination Event or an Unmatured Termination Event as may be directed by the Majority Purchaser Agents (unless such action otherwise requires the consent of all Purchasers, the LC Bank and/or the Required LC Participants), but until the
Administrator receives such directions, the Administrator may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, as the Administrator deems advisable and in the best interests of the Purchasers and the Purchaser
Agents. 

  

	 	(f)	 Non-Reliance on Administrator, Purchaser Agents and Other Purchasers. Each Purchaser expressly
acknowledges that none of the Administrator, the Purchaser Agents nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the
Administrator, or any Purchaser Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Seller, the Servicer, any Sub-Servicer, any Originator or any of their respective Affiliates, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or
warranty by the Administrator or such Purchaser Agent, as applicable. Each Purchaser represents and warrants to the Administrator and the Purchaser Agents that, independently and without reliance upon the Administrator,




  
 37 









	 	
Purchaser Agents or any other Purchaser and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, it has made and will continue to make its own appraisal of and investigation into
the business, operations, property, prospects, financial and other conditions and creditworthiness of the Seller, the Servicer, the Sub-Servicers, the Originators and the Receivables and its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to take, or
omit, action under any Transaction Document. Except for items specifically required to be delivered hereunder, the Administrator shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Purchaser Agent or any Purchaser with any information
concerning the Seller, the Servicer, the Sub-Servicers, the Originators or any of their Affiliates that comes into the possession of the Administrator or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.


  

	 	(g)	Administrators and Affiliates. Each of the Purchasers, the Purchaser Agents and the Administrator and any of their respective Affiliates may extend credit to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind
of banking, trust, debt, entity or other business with the Seller, the Servicer, any Sub-Servicer, any Originator or any of their Affiliates. With respect to the acquisition of the Eligible Receivables pursuant to this Agreement, each of the
Purchaser Agents and the Administrator shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any Purchaser and may exercise the same as though it were not such an agent, and the terms “Purchaser” and “Purchasers” shall
include, to the extent applicable, each of the Purchaser Agents and the Administrator in their individual capacities. 

  

	 	(h)	 Indemnification. Each LC Participant and Committed Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless the
Administrator (solely in its capacity as Administrator) and the LC Bank (solely in its capacity as LC Bank) and their respective officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents (to the extent not reimbursed by the Seller, the Servicer,
any Sub-Servicer or any Originator and without limiting the obligation of the Seller, the Servicer, any Sub-Servicer or any Originator to do so), ratably (based on its Commitment) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, settlements, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including in connection with any investigative or threatened proceeding, whether or not the Administrator, the LC Bank or
such Person shall be designated a party thereto) that may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrator, the LC Bank or such Person as a result of, or related to, any action taken or omitted by the Administrator or the
LC Bank under the Transaction Documents, any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents or the execution, delivery or performance of the Transaction Documents or any other document furnished in connection therewith (but excluding
any such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, settlements, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrator, the LC Bank or such Person
as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each LC Participant agrees to reimburse the




  
 38 









	 	
Administrator and the LC Bank, ratably according to its Pro Rata Share, promptly upon demand, for any out of pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred by the Administrator or
the LC Bank in connection with the administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of, its rights and responsibilities under this Agreement.


  

	 	(i)	Successor Administrator. The Administrator may, upon at least thirty (30) days’ notice to the Seller, the Servicer and each Purchaser Agent, resign as Administrator. Such resignation shall not become
effective until a successor Administrator is appointed by the Majority Purchaser Agents, with the consent of the Seller (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and which consent shall not be required if a Termination Event shall
have occurred and is continuing), and has accepted such appointment. Upon such acceptance of its appointment as Administrator hereunder by a successor Administrator, such successor Administrator shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights
and duties of the retiring Administrator, and the retiring Administrator shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Transaction Documents. After any retiring Administrator’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of
Sections 3.1 and 3.2 and this Section 4.7 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrator. 


 

	 	(j)	UCC Filings. Each of the Seller, the Purchaser Agents and the Purchasers expressly recognizes and agrees that the Administrator may be listed as the assignee or secured party of record on the various UCC filings
required to be made hereunder in order to perfect the sale of the Purchased Assets from the Seller to the Purchasers, that such listing shall be for administrative convenience only in creating a record or nominee owner to take certain actions
hereunder on behalf of the Purchasers and that such listing will not affect in any way the status of the Purchasers as the owners of the Purchased Assets. In addition, such listing shall impose no duties on the Administrator other than those
expressly and specifically undertaken in accordance with this clause (j). 

 ARTICLE V. 

MISCELLANEOUS 

Section 5.1 Amendments, Etc. 
  

	 	(a)	 Subject to clause (b) of this Section, no amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or
any other Transaction Document, or consent to any departure by the Seller, the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer therefrom, shall be effective unless in a writing signed by the Administrator, the LC Bank, the Majority Purchaser Agents and the Majority LC
Participants; provided, however, that no such amendment shall (i) decrease the outstanding amount of, or extend the repayment of or any scheduled payment date for the payment of, any Discount in respect of any Portion of Capital
or any Fees owed to a Purchaser without the prior written consent of such 



  
 39 









	 	
Purchaser; (ii) forgive or waive or otherwise excuse any repayment of Capital without the prior written consent of each Purchaser affected thereby; (iii) increase the Commitment of any
Purchaser without its prior written consent; (iv) amend or modify the Pro Rata Share of any LC Participant without its prior written consent; (v) amend or modify the provisions of this Section 5.1 or the definition of
“Majority Purchaser Agents”, “Majority LC Participants” or “Required LC Participants” without the prior written consent of all Purchaser Agents, the LC Bank and all LC Participants; (vi) waive any Termination Event
arising from an Event of Bankruptcy with respect to Seller, the Servicer, any Sub-Servicer or any Originator; (vii) without the prior written consent of all Purchasers affected thereby, extend the Facility Termination Date or waive, amend or

and the Required LC Participants, and, in the case of any amendment, by the other parties thereto; and then such amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No failure
on the part of the Administrator, any Purchaser Agent or any Purchaser to exercise, and no delay in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other
or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. 

  

	 	(b)	At any time during the thirty (30) days following the date on which the Administrator completes its review of the results of an audit described in Section 5.4, Section 1(h) of Exhibit
IV to this Agreement or Section 2(f) of Exhibit IV to this Agreement (such audit, a “Field Examination”), the consent of the Seller, the Servicer or any Sub-Servicer shall not be required for any amendment to
the definitions of “Net Receivables Pool Balance”, “Eligible Receivables”, “Total Reserves” or any of their components if such amendment is deemed necessary by the Administrator in its sole and reasonable discretion
after consultation with the Servicer in order to adjust such definitions and their components to meet the credit standards applied by the Administrator and the Purchasers when they entered into this Agreement in connection with any changes in the
composition or characteristics (including, without limitation, credit quality, dilution and loss experience, tenor and terms) of the Pool Receivables since the preceding Field Examination. The Administrator agrees to provide a copy of the final
results of the Field Examination to the Servicer within two (2) Business Days of its receipt thereof. 


  
 40 








 Section 5.2 Notices, Etc. 

All notices and other communications hereunder shall, unless otherwise stated herein, be in writing (including facsimile or electronic mail
communication) and shall be personally delivered or sent by facsimile or electronic mail, or by overnight mail, to the intended party at the mailing address, e-mail address or facsimile number of such party set forth on Schedule VI hereto (or
in any other document or agreement pursuant to which it is or became a party hereto), or at such other mailing address, e-mail address or facsimile number as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other parties hereto. All such
notices and communications shall be effective (i) if delivered by overnight mail, when received, and (ii) if transmitted by facsimile or electronic mail, when sent, receipt confirmed by telephone or electronic means. 

Section 5.3 Successors and Assigns; Assignability; Participations. 

 

	 	(a)	Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.1(d),
neither the Seller nor the Servicer may assign or transfer any of its rights or delegate any of its duties hereunder or under any Transaction Document without the prior consent of the Administrator, the LC Bank, the Required LC Participants and the
Purchaser Agents. 

  

	 	(b)	 Participations. (i) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, any Purchaser may sell to one
or more Persons (each a “Participant”) participating interests in the interests of such Purchaser hereunder. Such Purchaser shall remain solely responsible for performing its obligations hereunder, and the Seller, the Servicer, each
Purchaser Agent and the Administrator shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Purchaser in connection with such Purchaser’s rights and obligations hereunder. A Purchaser shall not agree with a Participant to restrict such
Purchaser’s right to agree to any amendment or waiver of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, except such amendments or waivers that require the consent of all Purchasers; provided, that no such agreement between any
Purchaser and any such Participant shall be binding upon the other parties hereto. (ii) Notwithstanding anything contained in paragraph (a) or clause (i) of paragraph (b) of this Section 5.3, each
of the LC Bank and each LC Participant may sell participations in all or any part of any Investment made by such LC Participant to another bank or other entity so long as (i) no such sale of a participation shall, without the consent of the
Seller, require the Seller to file a registration statement with the SEC and (ii) no holder of any such participation shall be entitled to require such LC Participant to take or omit to take any action hereunder except that such LC Participant
may agree with such participant that, without such Participant’s consent, such LC Participant will not consent to an amendment, modification or waiver referred to in Section 5.1. Any such Participant shall not have any rights
hereunder or under the Transaction Documents. Each Purchaser that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Seller, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the
Purchases (and Discount, fees and other similar amounts under this Agreement) of each Participant’s interest in the interests of such Purchaser under the Transaction Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that
no Purchaser shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in




  
 41 









	 	
any interest of a Purchaser hereunder or other obligations under any Transaction Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such interest or
other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Purchaser shall treat each Person whose name
is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrator (in its capacity as the Administrator) shall have
no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. 

  

	 	(c)	Assignments by Certain Committed Purchasers. Any Committed Purchaser may assign to one or more Persons (each a “Purchasing Committed Purchaser”), reasonably acceptable to the Administrator, the
LC Bank and the related Purchaser Agent in its sole discretion, any portion of its Commitment (which shall be inclusive of its Commitment as an LC Participant) pursuant to a supplement hereto, substantially in the form of Annex G with any
changes as are reasonably acceptable to the Administrator (each, a “Transfer Supplement”), executed by each such Purchasing Committed Purchaser, such selling Committed Purchaser, such related Purchaser Agent and the Administrator
and with the consent of the Seller (provided, that the consent of the Seller shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and that no such consent shall be required if a Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event has occurred and is
continuing; provided, further, that no consent of the Seller shall be required if the assignment is made by any Committed Purchaser to the Administrator, to any Purchaser Agent, to any other Committed Purchaser, to any Affiliate of the
Administrator or any Committed Purchaser, to any Program Support Provider or any Person which (i) is in the business of issuing commercial paper notes and (ii) is associated with or administered by the Administrator or any Affiliate of the
Administrator). Any such assignment by Committed Purchaser may not be for an amount less than $10,000,000. Upon (i) the execution of the Transfer Supplement, (ii) delivery of an executed copy thereof to the Seller, the Servicer, such
related Purchaser Agent and the Administrator and (iii) payment by the Purchasing Committed Purchaser to the selling Committed Purchaser of the agreed purchase price, if any, such selling Committed Purchaser shall be released from its
obligations hereunder to the extent of such assignment and such Purchasing Committed Purchaser shall for all purposes be a Committed Purchaser party hereto and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Committed Purchaser hereunder to the same
extent as if it were an original party hereto. The amount of the Commitment of the selling Committed Purchaser allocable to such Purchasing Committed Purchaser shall be equal to the amount of the Commitment of the selling Committed Purchaser
transferred regardless of the purchase price, if any, paid therefor. 

  

	 	(d)	 Assignments to Liquidity Banks and other Program Support Providers. Any Conduit Purchaser may at any time
grant to one or more of its Liquidity Banks or other Program Support Providers, interests in its portion of the Purchased Assets. 



  
 42 









	 	
In the event of any such grant by such Conduit Purchaser of an interest to a Liquidity Bank or other Program Support Provider, such Conduit Purchaser shall remain responsible for the performance
of its obligations hereunder. The Seller agrees that each Liquidity Bank and Program Support Provider of any Conduit Purchaser hereunder shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 1.9 and 1.10. 


 

	 	(e)	Other Assignment by Conduit Purchasers. Each party hereto agrees and consents (i) to any Conduit Purchaser’s assignment, grant of security interests in or other transfers of any portion of its interest
in the Purchased Assets, including without limitation to any collateral agent in connection with its commercial paper program and (ii) to the complete assignment by any Conduit Purchaser of all of its rights and obligations hereunder to any
other Person, and upon such assignment such Conduit Purchaser shall be released from all obligations and duties, if any, hereunder; provided, that such Conduit Purchaser may not, without the prior consent of its Committed Purchasers, make any
such transfer of its rights hereunder unless the assignee (i) is principally engaged in the purchase of assets similar to the assets being purchased hereunder, (ii) has as its Purchaser Agent the Purchaser Agent of the assigning Conduit
Purchaser and (iii) issues commercial paper or other Notes with credit ratings substantially comparable to the ratings of the assigning Conduit Purchaser. Any assigning Conduit Purchaser shall deliver to any assignee a Transfer Supplement with
any changes as have been approved by the parties thereto, duly executed by such Conduit Purchaser, assigning any portion of its interest in the Purchased Assets to its assignee. Such Conduit Purchaser shall promptly (i) notify each of the other
parties hereto of such assignment and (ii) take all further action that the assignee reasonably requests in order to evidence the assignee’s right, title and interest in such interest in the Purchased Assets and to enable the assignee to
exercise or enforce any rights of such Conduit Purchaser hereunder. Upon the assignment of any portion of its interest in the Purchased Assets, the assignee shall have all of the rights hereunder with respect to such interest (except that the
Discount therefor shall thereafter accrue at the rates determined with respect to the assigning Conduit Purchaser unless the Seller, the related Purchaser Agent and the assignee shall have agreed upon a different Discount). 


 

	 	(f)	Opinions of Counsel. If required by the Administrator or the applicable Purchaser Agent, each Transfer Supplement or other assignment and acceptance agreement must be accompanied by an opinion of counsel of the
assignee as to such matters as the Administrator or such Purchaser Agent may reasonably request. 

  

	 	(g)	 In addition to the foregoing and notwithstanding any otherwise applicable limitations on, or requirements for,
pledges, assignments and participations set forth in this Section 5.3, any Purchaser may pledge, participate or assign any of its rights (including, without limitation, rights to payment of Capital and Discount) under this Agreement or
the other Transaction Documents to any Federal Reserve Bank (including any grant of a security interest in such rights to secure such Purchaser’s obligations to such Federal Reserve Bank) without notice to or consent




  
 43 









	 	
of any other party to this Agreement or to the other Transaction Documents; provided that no such pledge, participation or assignment shall release such Purchaser from any of its
obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledge, participant or assignee for such Purchaser as a party hereto. 


Section 5.4 Costs, Expenses and Taxes. 
  

	 	(a)	In addition to the rights of indemnification granted under Sections 1.21 and 3.1, the Seller agrees to pay on demand (which demand shall be accompanied by documentation thereof in reasonable detail) all
reasonable costs and expenses in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery and administration (including periodic internal audits by the Administrator of Pool Receivables, provided that at any time when no Termination Event exists
and is continuing, the Seller shall not be required to pay the costs and expenses of more than two such audits per year) of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the other documents and agreements to be delivered hereunder (and all
reasonable costs and expenses in connection with any amendment, waiver or modification of any thereof), including: (i) Attorney Costs for the Administrator, the Purchaser Agents, the Purchasers and their respective Affiliates and agents with
respect thereto and with respect to advising the Administrator, the Purchaser Agents, the Purchasers and their respective Affiliates and agents as to their rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, (ii) fees,
costs and expenses payable by the Conduit Purchasers or their Affiliates to any nationally recognized statistical rating agency in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and (iii) all reasonable costs and
expenses (including Attorney Costs), if any, of the Administrator, the Purchaser Agents, the Purchasers and their respective Affiliates and agents in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.


  

	 	(b)  	     

 (i) The Seller agrees that any and all payments by the Seller under
this Agreement shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all current or future taxes, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all penalties, interest and other liabilities with respect
thereto (collectively, “Taxes”), except as required by Applicable Law. If the Seller shall be required by Applicable Law to withhold or deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Recipient (as determined
in the good faith discretion of the Seller or the Administrator) and such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable shall be increased by the amount necessary to yield to such Recipient (after payment of all Taxes) an amount equal to the sum
it would have received had no such withholding or deductions been made. Whenever any taxes are payable by the Seller, the Seller agrees that, as promptly as possible thereafter, the Seller shall send to the Administrator for its own account or for
the account of any Purchaser or Purchaser Agent a certified copy of an original official receipt showing payment thereof or such other evidence of such payment as may be available to the Seller and acceptable to the taxing authorities having
jurisdiction over such Recipient. If any such Recipient pays or is liable for any Indemnified Taxes, the Seller shall reimburse such Recipient for 

  
 44 








 
that payment or indemnify such Recipient for such liability, as applicable (increased in either case by Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this
Section), within 10 days after demand therefor, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant tax authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Seller by
a Purchaser or Purchaser Agent (with a copy to the Administrator), or by the Administrator on its own behalf or on behalf of a Purchaser or Purchaser Agent, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. If the Seller fails to pay any Taxes when due to
the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Administrator the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Seller shall indemnify the Administrator and/or any other Affected Person, as applicable, for any Indemnified
Taxes that may become payable by such party as a result of any such failure. 
 (ii) Any Recipient that is entitled to an exemption from or
reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Transaction Document shall deliver to the Servicer (on behalf of the Seller), at the time or times reasonably requested by the Seller or the Administrator and at the time or times
required by Applicable Law, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Servicer as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Recipient, if
reasonably requested by the Servicer, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by such Recipient as will enable the Servicer to determine whether or not such Recipient is subject to backup
withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in
Section 5.4(b)(ii)(A), (B) and (D)) shall not be required if in the Recipient’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Recipient to any material unreimbursed cost or
expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Recipient. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, 

(A) any Recipient that is a “United States Person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code shall
deliver to the Servicer and the Administrator on or prior to the date on which such Purchaser becomes a Purchaser under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Servicer or the Administrator and at the time
or times required by Applicable Law), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Recipient is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax; 

(B) any Recipient that is not a “United States Person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code
shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Servicer and the Administrator (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Recipient becomes a party to this Agreement
(and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Seller or the Administrator and at the time or times required by Applicable Law), 

(1) in the case of a Recipient claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to
payments of interest under any Transaction Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant


  
 45 








 
to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing
an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty; 

(2) executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI; 

(3) in the case of a Recipient claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a
certificate to the effect that such Recipient is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of Peabody within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a
“controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable; or 

(4) to the extent a Recipient is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN
or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, certifications as to the matters in Section 5.4(b)(ii)(B)(3) on its own behalf and on behalf of its direct or indirect partners claiming the portfolio interest exemption, IRS Form W-9, and/or other
certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; 
 (C) any Recipient shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do
so, deliver to the Seller and the Administrator (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Recipient becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable
request of the Seller or the Administrator and at the time or times required by Applicable Law), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax,
duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Servicer or the Administrator to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and 

(D) if a payment made to a Recipient under any Transaction Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such
Recipient 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 Recipient shall deliver to the Servicer and the Administrator at the
time or times prescribed by Applicable and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Servicer or the Administrator such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal
Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Seller or the Administrator as may be necessary for the Seller and the Administrator to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Recipient has
complied with such Recipient’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 5.4(b)(ii)(D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to
FATCA after the date of this Agreement. For purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA, from and after the Closing Date, the Seller and the Administrator shall treat (and the Purchasers hereby authorize the Administrator to treat)
this Agreement as not qualifying as a “grandfathered obligation” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i). 

  
 46 








 (E) Each Recipient 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 and the Administrator in writing of its legal inability to do so. 

(iii) The Seller shall pay on demand any and all stamp and other taxes and fees payable in connection with the execution, delivery, filing and
recording of this Agreement or the other documents or agreements to be delivered hereunder, and shall save each Indemnified Party harmless from and against any liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay in paying or omission to pay such
taxes and fees. 
 (iv) If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes
as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 5.4(b) (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 5.4(b)), 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 5.4(b) 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 taxing authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this
Section 5.4(b)(iii) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant taxing authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such taxing authority. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in this Section 5.4(b)(iii), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 5.4(b)(iii) 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 paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential)
to the indemnifying party or any other Person. 
 (v) If any Recipient requests compensation under Section 1.10, or requires the
Seller to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Recipient or any taxing authority for the account of any Recipient pursuant to this Section 5.4(b), then such Recipient shall (at the request of the Seller) use reasonable
efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Investments hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Recipient, such
designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 1.10 or this Section 5.4(b), as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed
cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Recipient. The Seller hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. 

(vi) The Administrator, on Seller’s behalf, shall maintain a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Purchasers,
and the Investments (and Discount, 

  
 47 








 
fees and other similar amounts under this Agreement) pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”), including any participant and/or assignee. The entries in
the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and to the extent applicable, the parties hereto shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a lender solely for U.S. federal income tax
purposes. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Purchaser, from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 

Section 5.5 No Proceedings; Limitation on Payments. 

Each of the Seller, Peabody, the Servicer, the Administrator, each Purchaser Agent, the Purchasers and each assignee of the Purchased Assets
or any interest therein, and each Person that enters into a commitment to purchase or make Investments in the Purchased Assets or any interest therein, hereby covenants and agrees that it will not institute against, or join any other Person in
instituting against, any Conduit Purchaser any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding, or other proceeding under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and one day after the latest
maturing Note issued by such Conduit Purchaser is paid in full. The provision of this Section 5.5 shall survive any termination of this Agreement. 

Section 5.6 Confidentiality. 

Each of the Seller and the Servicer agrees to maintain the confidentiality of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (and all
drafts thereof) in communications with third parties and otherwise; provided, that this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents may be disclosed to: (a) third parties to the extent such disclosure is made pursuant to a written
agreement of confidentiality in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrator, (b) the Seller’s legal counsel and auditors if they agree to hold it confidential, and (c) as otherwise required by Applicable Law
(including applicable SEC requirements); and provided, further, however, that the Seller and the Servicer may disclose this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (other than the Fee Letters or any such Transaction
Document that discloses the Fees) to other financial institutions and their affiliates in connection with a replacement of the receivables securitization facility represented by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents with a new
receivables securitization facility. The Seller and the Servicer shall cause any financial institution and its affiliates described in the foregoing proviso to maintain the confidentiality of the Transaction Documents in accordance with the
Seller’s and the Servicer’s obligations under this Section 5.6; provided, however, that any such financial institution and its affiliates may disclose this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents it receives in accordance
with the immediately preceding sentence to their legal counsel and auditors if they agree to hold them confidential and to any regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over such financial institution or its affiliates. Unless otherwise required by
Applicable Law, each of the Administrator, the Purchaser Agents and the Purchasers agrees to maintain the confidentiality of non-public financial information regarding Peabody and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates; provided, that such
information may be disclosed to: (i) third parties to the extent such disclosure is made pursuant to a written agreement of confidentiality in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Peabody, (ii) legal counsel and auditors of the
Administrator, the Purchaser Agents and the Purchasers if they agree to hold it confidential, (iii) the rating agencies rating the Notes, (iv) any 

  
 48 








 
Program Support Provider or potential Program Support Provider (if they agree to hold it confidential), (v) any placement agent placing the Notes (if they agree to hold it confidential) and
(vi) any regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over PNC, any Purchaser Agent, any Purchaser or any Program Support Provider.

	 	(a)	THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A CONTRACT MADE UNDER AND GOVERNED BY THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (INCLUDING FOR SUCH PURPOSE SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF
NEW YORK) EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT THE VALIDITY OR PERFECTION OF A SECURITY INTEREST OR REMEDIES HEREUNDER, IN RESPECT OF ANY PARTICULAR COLLATERAL ARE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF A JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVES THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS 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

for cash an interest in amounts owing to the other Purchasers (as return of Capital or otherwise), without representation or warranty except for the representation and warranty that such interest is being sold by each such other Purchaser free and
clear of any Adverse Claim created or granted by such other Purchaser, in the amount necessary to create proportional participation by the Purchaser in such recovery. If all or any portion of such amount is thereafter recovered from the recipient,
such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. 

  
 50 








 Section 5.14 Purchaser Groups’ Liabilities.

Person. Except with respect to any claim arising out of the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Administrator, any Purchaser Agent or any Purchaser, no claim may be made by the Seller or the Servicer or any other Person against the
Administrator, any Purchaser Agent or any Purchaser or their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, attorneys or agents for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages in respect of any claim for breach of contract or
any other theory of liability arising out of or related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith; and each of Seller and Servicer hereby
waives, releases, and agrees not to sue upon any claim for any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor. 

Section 5.15 Right of Setoff. 

Each Purchaser is hereby authorized (in addition to any other rights it may have) to setoff, appropriate and apply (without presentment,
demand, protest or other notice which are hereby expressly waived) any deposits and any other indebtedness held or owing by such Purchaser (including by any branches or agencies of such Purchaser) to, or for the account of, (i) the Seller
against amounts owing by the Seller hereunder (even if contingent or unmatured) and (ii) the Servicer against amounts owing by the Servicer hereunder (even if contingent or unmatured).

with all Applicable Laws and preserve and maintain its organizational existence, rights, franchises, qualifications and privileges, except to the extent that the failure so to comply with such laws, rules, regulations and orders or the failure so to
preserve and maintain such rights, franchises, qualifications and privileges would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

and other fees;

has contributed such receivables and other related assets to such special purpose Subsidiary that, in turn, has sold such receivables and other related assets to certain financial institutions and other entities; 

(l) The Seller’s assets will be maintained in a manner that facilitates their identification and segregation from those of Peabody or any
Affiliate thereof and any other Person; 
 (m) The Seller will strictly observe organizational formalities in its dealings with Peabody or
any Affiliate thereof, and funds or other assets of the Seller will not be commingled with those of Peabody or any Affiliate thereof except as permitted by the Agreement in connection with servicing the Pool Receivables. The Seller shall not
maintain joint bank accounts or other depository accounts to which Peabody or any Affiliate thereof or any other Person has independent access, and the Seller shall use separate invoices and checks from any other Person. The Seller is not named, and
has not entered into any agreement to be named, directly or indirectly, as a direct or contingent beneficiary or loss payee on any insurance policy with respect to any loss relating to the property of Peabody or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate of
Peabody (other than the Seller). The Seller will pay to the appropriate Affiliate the marginal increase or, in the absence of such increase, the market amount of its portion of the premium payable with respect to any insurance policy that covers the
Seller and such Affiliate; 
 (n) The Seller will maintain arm’s-length relationships with Peabody (and any Affiliate thereof). Any
Person that renders or otherwise furnishes services to the Seller will be compensated by the Seller at market rates for such services it renders or otherwise furnishes to the Seller. Neither the Seller nor Peabody will be or will hold itself out to
be responsible for the debts of the other or the decisions or actions respecting the daily business and affairs of the other. The Seller and Peabody will immediately correct any known misrepresentation with respect to the foregoing, and they will

U.S. Treasury Regulation § 301.7701-3 for U.S. federal income tax purposes or (ii) become an association taxable as a corporation or a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes; and
