 This RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AGREEMENT (as amended, supplemented or otherwise
modified from time to time, this “Agreement”) is entered into as of November 30, 2000, among WORTHINGTON RECEIVABLES CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation, as seller (the “Seller”), WORTHINGTON INDUSTRIES, INC.,
an Ohio corporation (“Worthington”), as initial servicer (in such capacity, together with its successors and permitted assigns in such capacity, the “Servicer”), PNC BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
(“PNC”), as agent for PNC, and as Administrator for each Purchaser Group (in such capacity, the “Administrator”), and each of the other members of each Purchaser Group party hereto or that become parties hereto by
executing an Assumption Agreement or a Transfer Supplement. 
 PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS. Certain terms that are capitalized
and used throughout this Agreement are defined in Exhibit I. References in the Exhibits hereto to the “Agreement” refer to this Agreement, as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time. 

The Seller desires to sell, transfer and assign an undivided variable percentage interest in a pool of receivables, and the
Purchasers desire to acquire such undivided variable percentage interest, as such percentage interest shall be adjusted from time to time based upon, in part, reinvestment payments that are made by such Purchasers. 

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

 ARTICLE I 
 AMOUNTS
AND TERMS OF THE PURCHASES 
 Section 1.1.    Purchase Facility. 

(a)    On the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, the Seller may, from time to time
before the Facility Termination Date, request that the Conduit Purchasers, or, only if a Conduit Purchaser denies such request or is unable to fund (and provides notice of such denial or inability to the Seller, the Administrator and its Purchaser
Agent), ratably request that the Related Committed Purchasers, make purchases of and reinvestments in undivided percentage ownership interests with regard to the Purchased Interest from the Seller from time to time from the date hereof to the
Facility Termination Date. Subject to Section 1.4(b), concerning reinvestments, at no time will a Conduit Purchaser have any obligation to make a purchase. Each Related Committed Purchaser severally hereby agrees, on the
terms and subject to the conditions hereof, to make Purchases before the Facility Termination Date, based on the applicable Purchaser Group’s Ratable Share of each purchase requested pursuant to Section 1.2(a) (each a
“Purchase”) (and, in the case of each Related Committed Purchaser, its Commitment Percentage of its Purchaser Group’s Ratable Share of such Purchase) to the extent its Investment would not thereby exceed its Commitment and the
Aggregate Investment would not (after giving effect to all Purchases on such date) exceed the Purchase Limit. 

(b)    The Seller may, upon at least 60 days’ written notice to the Administrator and
each Purchaser Agent terminate the purchase facility provided for in this Section in whole or, upon 30 days’ written notice to the Administrator and each Purchaser Agent, 







 
from time to time, irrevocably reduce in part the unfunded portion of the Purchase Limit (but not below the amount which would cause the Group Investment of any Purchaser Group to exceed its
Group Commitment (after giving effect to such reduction)); provided that each partial reduction shall be in the amount of at least $3,000,000, or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and unless terminated in whole, the Purchase Limit
shall in no event be reduced below $50,000,000. Such reduction shall at the option of the Seller be applied either (i) ratably to reduce the Group Commitment of each Purchaser Group or (ii) to terminate the Group Commitment of any one
Purchaser Group. 
 (c)    Each of the parties hereto hereby acknowledges and agrees that
from and after the Fifteenth Amendment Effective Date, the Purchaser Group that includes PNC, as a Purchaser Agent and as a Purchaser, shall not include a Conduit Purchaser, and each request by the Seller for ratable Purchases by the Conduit
Purchasers pursuant to Section 1.1(a) shall be deemed to be a request that the Related Committed Purchasers in PNC’s Purchaser Group make their ratable share of such Purchases. 

Section 1.2.    Making Purchases. 

(a)    Each purchase (but not reinvestment) of undivided percentage ownership interests
with regard to the Purchased Interest hereunder shall be made upon the Seller’s irrevocable written notice in the form of Annex B delivered to the Administrator and each Purchaser Agent in accordance with Section 6.2
(which notice must be received by the Administrator and each Purchaser Agent before 11:00 a.m., New York City time) at least three Business Days before the requested Purchase Date, which notice shall specify: (A) the amount requested to be paid
to the Seller (such amount, which shall not be less than $1,000,000 or such lesser amount as may be consented to by the Administrator, with respect to each Purchaser Group, being the aggregate of the Investments of each Purchaser within such
Purchaser Group, relating to the undivided percentage ownership interest then being purchased), (B) the date of such purchase (which shall be a Business Day), and (C) a pro forma calculation of the Purchased Interest after giving effect to the
increase in the Aggregate Investment. If the Purchase is requested from a Conduit Purchaser and such Conduit Purchaser determines, in its sole discretion, to make the requested Purchase, such Conduit Purchaser shall transfer to the account of the
Seller described in Section 1.2(b), below (the “Disbursement Account”), an amount equal to such Conduit Purchaser’s Purchaser Group Ratable Share of such Purchase on the requested Purchase Date. If the
Purchase is requested from the Related Committed Purchasers for a Purchaser Group (in the case where the related Conduit Purchaser determined not to or was unable to make such Purchase), subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such Related
Committed Purchasers for a Purchaser Group shall use its reasonable best efforts to transfer the applicable Purchaser Group’s Ratable Share of each Purchase (and, in the case of each Related Committed Purchaser, its Commitment Percentage of its
Purchaser Group’s Ratable Share of such Purchase) into the Disbursement Account by no later than 4:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Purchase Date. 

(b)    On the date of each Purchase, each Purchaser (or the related Purchaser Agent on its
behalf), shall make available to the Seller in same day funds, at the account from time to time specified in writing by the Seller to each Purchaser, an amount equal to the proceeds of such Purchase. 

  
 2 








 (c)    Effective on the date of each Purchase
pursuant to this Section 1.2 and each reinvestment pursuant to Section 1.4, the Seller hereby sells and assigns to the Administrator for the benefit of the Purchasers (ratably, according to each
such Purchaser’s Investment) an undivided percentage ownership interest in: (i) each Pool Receivable then existing, (ii) all Related Security with respect to such Pool Receivables, and (iii) all Collections with respect to, and
other proceeds of, such Pool Receivables and Related Security. 
 (d)    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,
the Seller hereby grants to the Administrator, for the benefit of the Purchasers, a security interest in all of the Seller’s right, title and interest (including any undivided interest of the Seller) in, to and under all of the following,
whether now or hereafter owned, existing or arising: (i) all Pool Receivables, (ii) all Related Security with respect to such Pool Receivables, (iii) all Collections with respect to such Pool Receivables, (iv) 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, (v) all books and records of each Receivable, and all Transaction Documents to which the Seller is a party, together with all rights (but none of the obligations) of the Seller thereunder and (vi) all proceeds and products of, and
all amounts received or receivable under any or all of, the foregoing (collectively, the “Pool Assets”). 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. 

(e)    The Seller may, with the written consent of the Administrator and each Purchaser,
add additional Persons as Purchasers (either to an existing Purchaser Group or by creating new Purchaser Groups) or cause an existing Purchaser to increase its Commitment in connection with a corresponding increase in the Purchase Limit;
provided, however, that the Commitment of any Purchaser may only be increased with the consent of such Purchaser. Each new Purchaser (or Purchaser Group) and each Purchaser increasing its Commitment shall become a party hereto or
increase its Commitment, as the case may be, by executing and delivering to the Administrator and the Seller an Assumption Agreement in the form of Annex C hereto (which Assumption Agreement shall, in the case of any new Purchaser or Purchasers be
executed by each Person in such new Purchaser’s Purchaser Group). 
 (f)    Each
Related Committed Purchaser’s obligation hereunder shall be several, such that the failure of any Related Committed Purchaser to make a payment in connection with any purchase hereunder shall not relieve any other Related Committed Purchaser of
its obligation hereunder to make payment for any Purchase. Further, in the event any Related Committed Purchaser fails to satisfy its obligation to make a purchase 

  
 3 








 
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 Related Committed Purchasers in such defaulting Related Committed Purchaser’s Purchaser Group shall purchase the defaulting Related Committed Purchaser’s Commitment Percentage of the related
Purchase pro rata in proportion to their relative Commitment Percentages (determined without regard to the Commitment Percentage of the defaulting Related Committed Purchaser; it being understood that a defaulting Related Committed
Purchaser’s Commitment Percentage of any Purchase shall be first put to the Related Committed Purchasers in such defaulting Related Committed Purchaser’s Purchaser Group and thereafter if there are no other Related Committed Purchasers in
such Purchaser Group or if such other Related Committed Purchasers are also defaulting Related Committed Purchasers, then such defaulting Related Committed Purchaser’s Commitment Percentage of such Purchase shall be put to each other Purchaser
Group ratably and applied in accordance with this paragraph (f)). Notwithstanding anything in this paragraph (f) to the contrary, no Related Committed Purchaser shall be required to make a Purchase pursuant to this paragraph for an amount which
would cause (i) the aggregate Investment of such Related Committed Purchaser (after giving effect to such Purchase) to exceed its Commitment or (ii) the sum of the aggregate Investments of all Purchasers in the Purchaser Group of such
Related Committed Purchaser (after giving effect to such Purchase) to exceed the sum of the Commitments of all of the Purchasers in such Purchaser Group. 

Section 1.3.    Purchased Interest Computation. The Purchased Interest shall be initially
computed on the date of the initial Purchase hereunder. Thereafter, until the Facility Termination Date, such Purchased Interest 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 Interest shall (until the event(s) giving rise to such Termination Day are satisfied or are waived by the Administrator and a Simple Majority of the Purchasers) be deemed to be 100%. The
Purchased Interest shall become zero when the Aggregate Investment thereof and Aggregate Discount thereon shall have been paid in full, all the amounts owed by the Seller and the Servicer hereunder to each Purchaser, the Administrator and any other
Indemnified Party or Affected Person are paid in full, and the Servicer shall have received the accrued Servicing Fee thereon. 

Section 1.4.    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 Interest.

 (b)    The Servicer shall, on each day on which Collections of Pool Receivables are
received (or deemed received) by the Seller or the Servicer: 
 (i)    set aside and hold
in trust (and shall, at the request of the Administrator (with the consent or at the direction of the Majority Purchasers), segregate in a separate account approved by the Administrator if, at the time of


  
 4 








 
such request, there exists an Unmatured Termination Event or a Termination Event or if the failure to so segregate reasonably could be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect) for the benefit
of each Purchaser Group, out of the Purchasers’ Share of such Collections, first, an amount equal to the Aggregate Discount accrued through such day for each Portion of Investment and not previously set aside, second, an amount equal to the
fees set forth in each Purchaser Group Fee Letter accrued and unpaid through such day, and third, to the extent funds are available therefor, an amount equal to the aggregate of each Purchaser Group’s Ratable Share of the Purchasers’ Share
of the Servicing Fee accrued through such day and not previously set aside, 

(ii)    subject to Section 1.4(f), if such day is not a
Termination Day, remit to the Seller, ratably, on behalf of each Purchaser Group, the remainder of the Purchasers’ Share of such Collections. Such remainder shall, to the extent representing a return on the Aggregate Investment, ratably,
according to each Purchaser’s Investment, be automatically reinvested in Pool Receivables, and in the Related Security, Collections and other proceeds with respect thereto; provided, however, that if the Purchased Interest would
exceed 100%, then the Servicer shall not reinvest, but shall set aside and hold in trust for the benefit of the Purchasers (and shall, at the request of the Administrator (with the consent or at the direction of the Majority Purchasers), segregate
in a separate account approved by the Administrator if, at the time of such request, there exists an Unmatured Termination Event or a Termination Event or if the failure to so segregate reasonably could be expected to cause a Material Adverse
Effect) a portion of such Collections that, together with the other Collections set aside pursuant to this paragraph, shall equal the amount necessary to reduce the Purchased Interest to 100%, 

(iii)    if such day is a Termination Day, set aside, segregate and hold in trust (and
shall, at the request of the Administrator (with the consent or at the direction of a Simple Majority of the Purchasers), segregate in a separate account approved by the Administrator) for the benefit of each Purchaser Group the entire remainder of
the Purchasers’ Share of the Collections; provided, 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” and, thereafter, the conditions
set forth in Section 2 of Exhibit II are satisfied or waived by the Administrator and a Simple Majority of the Purchasers, such previously set-aside amounts shall, to the
extent representing a return on Aggregate Investment and ratably in accordance with each Purchaser’s Investment, be reinvested in accordance with clause (ii) on the day of such subsequent satisfaction or waiver of conditions, and

 (iv)    release to the Seller (subject to Section 1.4(f))
for its own account any Collections in excess of: (x) amounts required to be reinvested in accordance with clause (ii) or the proviso to clause (iii) plus (y) the amounts that are required to be set aside pursuant to
clause (i), the proviso to clause (ii) and clause (iii) plus (z) the Seller’s Share of the Servicing Fee accrued and unpaid through such day and all reasonable and appropriate out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Servicer for servicing, collecting and administering the Pool Receivables. 

  
 5 








 (c)    The Servicer shall, in accordance with
the priorities set forth in Section 1.4(d), below, deposit into each applicable Purchaser’s account (or such other account designated by such applicable Purchaser or its Purchaser Agent), on each Settlement Date,
Collections held for each Purchaser with respect to such Purchaser’s Portion(s) of Investment pursuant to clause (b)(i) or (f) plus the amount of Collections then held for such Purchaser pursuant to clauses (b)(ii) and
(iii) of Section 1.4; provided, that if Worthington or an Affiliate thereof is the Servicer, such day is not a Termination Day and the Administrator has not notified Worthington (or such Affiliate) that
such right is revoked, (or such Affiliate) Worthington may retain the portion of the Collections set aside pursuant to clause (b)(i) that represents the aggregate of each Purchaser Group’s Ratable Share of the Purchasers’ Share of
the Servicing Fee. On or before the last day of each Yield Period with respect to any Portion of Investment, the applicable Purchaser Agent will notify the Servicer by facsimile of the amount of the Discount accrued with respect to each such Portion
of Investment during the related Yield Period then ending. 
 (d)    The Servicer shall
distribute the amounts described (and at the times set forth) in Section 1.4(c), as follows: 

(i)    if such distribution occurs on a day that is not a Termination Day and the Purchased
Interest does not exceed 100%, first to each Purchaser Agent ratably according to the Discount accrued during such Yield Period (for the benefit of the relevant Purchasers within such Purchaser Agent’s Purchaser Group) in payment in full of all
accrued Discount and fees (other than Servicing Fees) with respect to each Portion of Investment maintained by such Purchasers; it being understood that each Purchaser Agent shall distribute such amounts to the Purchasers within its Purchaser Group
ratably according to Discount, and second, if the Servicer has set aside amounts in respect of the Servicing Fee pursuant to clause (b)(i) and has not retained such amounts pursuant to clause (c), to the Servicer’s own account
(payable in arrears on each Settlement Date) in payment in full of the aggregate of each Purchaser Group’s Ratable Share of the Purchasers’ Share of accrued Servicing Fees so set aside, and 

(ii)    if such distribution occurs on a Termination Day or on a day when the Purchased
Interest exceeds 100%, first if Worthington or an Affiliate thereof is not the Servicer, to the Servicer’s own account in payment in full of all accrued Servicing Fees, second to each Purchaser Agent ratably according to Discount
(for the benefit of the relevant Purchasers within such Purchaser Agent’s Purchaser Group) in payment in full of all accrued Discount with respect to each Portion of Investment funded or maintained by the Purchasers within such Purchaser
Agent’s Purchaser Group, third to each Purchaser Agent ratably according to the aggregate of the Investment of each Purchaser in each such Purchaser Agent’s Purchaser Group (for the benefit of the relevant Purchasers within such
Purchaser Agent’s Purchaser Group) in payment in full of each Purchaser’s Investment (or, if such day is not a Termination Day, the amount 

  
 6 








 
necessary to reduce the Purchased Interest to 100%); it being understood that each Purchaser Agent shall distribute the amounts described in the first and second clauses of this
Section 1.4(d)(ii) to the Purchasers within its Purchaser Group ratably according to Discount and Investment, respectively, fourth, if the Aggregate Investment and accrued Aggregate Discount with respect to each
Portion of Investment for all Purchaser Groups have been reduced to zero, and all accrued Servicing Fees payable to the Servicer (if other than Worthington or an Affiliate thereof) have been paid in full, to each Purchaser Group ratably (for the
benefit of the Purchasers within such Purchaser Group) in accordance with its Ratable Share, the Administrator and any other Indemnified Party or Affected Person in payment in full of any other amounts owed thereto by the Seller or Servicer
hereunder and, fifth, to the Servicer’s own account (if the Servicer is Worthington or an Affiliate thereof) in payment in full of the Aggregate of each Purchaser Group’s Ratable Share of all accrued Servicing Fees. 

After the Aggregate Investment, Aggregate Discount, fees payable pursuant to each Purchaser Group Fee Letter and Servicing Fees with respect
to the Purchased Interest, and any other amounts payable by the Seller and the Servicer to each Purchaser Group, the Administrator or any other Indemnified Party or Affected Person hereunder, have been paid in full, all additional Collections with
respect to the Purchased Interest shall be paid to the Seller for its own account. 

(e)    For the purposes of this Section 1.4: 

(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, discount or other adjustment made by the Seller or any Affiliate of the Seller, or the Servicer or any Affiliate
of the Servicer, or any setoff or dispute between the Seller or any Affiliate of the Seller, or the Servicer or any Affiliate of the Servicer 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 1(g) or (n) 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), 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 

  
 7 








 
amount received by it hereunder, such amount shall be deemed not to have been so received by such Person but rather to have been retained by the Seller and, accordingly, such Person 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. 

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

(i)    the Seller shall give the Administrator, each Purchaser Agent and the Servicer
(A) at least two Business Days’ prior written notice thereof for any reduction of Aggregate Investment less than or equal to $10,000,000 and (B) at least ten Business Days’ prior written notice thereof for any reduction of
Aggregate Investment greater than $10,000,000 (in each case such notice shall include the amount of such proposed reduction and the proposed date on which such reduction will commence); 

(ii)    on the proposed date of 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 each
Purchaser ratably according to its Investment, for payment to each such Purchaser (or its related Purchaser Agent for the benefit of such Purchaser) on the (i) next Settlement Date with respect to any Portions of Investment maintained by such
Purchaser immediately following the related current Yield Period or (ii) such other date approved by the Administrator with at least five Business Days prior written notice to the Administrator of such payment, and the Aggregate Investment
(together with the Investment of any related Purchaser) shall be deemed reduced in the amount to be paid to such Purchaser (or its related Purchaser Agent for the benefit of such Purchaser) only when in fact finally so paid; 

provided, that: 

(A)    the amount of any such reduction shall be not less than $1,000,000 for each
Purchaser Group and shall be an integral multiple of $500,000, and the entire Aggregate Investment after giving effect to such reduction shall be not less than $50,000,000 and shall be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 (unless the Aggregate
Investment shall have been reduced to zero); and 
 (B)    with respect to any Portion of
Investment, the Seller shall choose a reduction amount, and the date of commencement thereof, so that to the extent practicable such reduction shall commence and conclude in the same Yield Period. 

  
 8 








 Section 1.5.    Fees. The Seller shall pay
to each Purchaser Agent for the benefit of the related Purchasers certain fees in the amounts and on the dates set forth in letters, dated the date hereof, each such letter (as amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, a
“Purchaser Group Fee Letter”) in each case among the Seller, the Servicer, the Administrator and the related Purchaser Agent. 

Section 1.6.    Payments and Computations, Etc. 

(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 when due in same day funds to the applicable Purchaser’s account (as such account is identified in the related
Purchaser Group Fee Letter). All amounts received after noon (New York City time) will be deemed to have been received on the next Business Day. 

(b)    The Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, shall, to the extent permitted by
law, pay interest on any amount not paid or deposited by the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, when due hereunder, at an interest rate equal to the Base Rate, payable on demand. 

(c)    All computations of interest under clause (b) and all computations of
Discount, fees and other amounts hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 (or 365 or 366, as applicable, with respect to Discount or other amounts calculated by reference to the Base Rate) days for the actual number of days elapsed.
Whenever any payment or deposit to be made hereunder shall be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment or deposit shall be made on the next Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of such payment or
deposit. 
 (d)    Each Affected Person will notify Seller and the applicable Purchaser
Agent promptly after it has received official notice of any event which will entitle such Affected Person to such additional amounts as compensation pursuant to this Section 1.7. Such additional amounts shall accrue from
the date as to which such Affected Person becomes subject to such additional costs as a result of such event (or if such notice of such event is not given to Seller by such Affected Person within 90 days after such Affected Person received such
official notice of such event, from the date which is 90 days prior to the date such notice is given to Seller by such Affected Person). 

Section 1.7.    Increased Costs. 

(a)    If any Purchaser Agent, Purchaser, Liquidity Provider, the Administrator or any
other Program Support Provider or any of their respective Affiliates (each an “Affected Person”) reasonably determines that the existence of or compliance with: (i) any law or regulation or any change therein or in the
interpretation or application thereof, in each case adopted, issued or occurring after the date hereof, or (ii) any request, guideline or directive from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law)
issued or occurring after the date of this Agreement, affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such 

  
 9 








 
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 purchases of (or otherwise to maintain
the investment in) Pool Receivables related to this Agreement or any related liquidity facility, credit enhancement facility or other commitments of the same type, then, upon demand by such Affected Person (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, 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. A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Seller and the Administrator by such Affected Person
shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 
 (b)    If,
due to either: (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation or (ii) compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the
force of law), there shall be any increase in the cost to any Affected Person of agreeing to purchase or purchasing, or maintaining the ownership of, the Purchased Interest or any portion thereof in respect of which Discount is computed by reference
to the Euro-Rate or LMIR, 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. A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Seller and the Administrator by such Affected Person shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 

(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. 

Section 1.8.    Requirements of Law. 

If any Affected Person reasonably determines that the existence of or compliance with: (a) any law or
regulation or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, in each case adopted, issued or occurring after the date hereof, or (b) any request, guideline or directive from any central bank or other Governmental Authority
(whether or not having the force of law) issued or occurring after the date of this Agreement: 

(i)    does or shall subject such Affected Person to any tax of any kind whatsoever with
respect to this Agreement, any increase in the Purchased Interest or any portion thereof or in the amount of such Person’s Investment 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 taxes imposed on the overall pre-tax net income of such Affected Person, and franchise taxes imposed on such Affected Person, by the
jurisdiction under the laws of which such Affected Person is organized or a political subdivision thereof), 

  
 10 








 (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 or LMIR or the Base 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 acting as Administrator or as a Purchaser
Agent, or of agreeing to purchase or purchasing or maintaining the ownership of undivided percentage ownership interests with regard to the Purchased Interest (or interests therein) or any Portion of Investment, 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. A certificate from such Affected Person to the Seller and the Administrator certifying, in reasonably specific detail, the basis for, calculation of, and
amount of such additional costs or reduced amount receivable shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error; provided, however, that no Affected Person shall be required to disclose any confidential or tax
planning information in any such certificate. 
 Section 1.9.    Inability to Determine
Euro-Rate or LMIR. (a) If the Administrator (or any Purchaser Agent) determines before the first day of any Yield Period (or solely with respect to LMIR, 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 Yield Period) are not being offered to banks in the interbank eurodollar market for such Yield Period, or adequate means do
not exist for ascertaining the Euro-Rate or LMIR for such Yield Period, then the Administrator shall give written 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, (a) no Portion of Investment shall be funded at the Yield Rate determined by reference to the Euro-Rate or LMIR and (b) the Discount for any outstanding Portions of Investment then funded at
the Yield Rate determined by reference to the Euro-Rate or LMIR shall, on the last day of the then current Yield Period (or solely with respect to LMIR, immediately), be converted to the Yield Rate determined by reference to the Base Rate. 

(b)    If, on or before the first day of any Yield Period (or solely with respect to LMIR,
on any day), the Administrator shall have been notified by any Purchaser, Purchaser Agent or Liquidity Provider that, such Person has determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive) that, any enactment, promulgation or adoption of or
any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by a governmental authority, central bank or 

  
 11 








 
comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by such 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 Person to fund or maintain any Portion of Investment at the Yield Rate and based upon the Euro-Rate or LMIR, the Administrator shall notify the Seller
thereof in writing. Upon receipt of such notice, until the Administrator notifies the Seller that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer apply, (a) no Portion of Investment shall be funded at the Yield Rate determined by
reference to the Euro-Rate or LMIR and (b) the Discount for any outstanding Portions of Investment then funded at the Yield Rate determined by reference to the Euro-Rate or LMIR shall be converted to the Yield Rate determined by reference to
the Base Rate either (i) on the last day of the then current Yield Period (or solely with respect to LMIR, immediately) if such Person may lawfully continue to maintain such Portion of Investment at the Yield Rate determined by reference to the
Euro-Rate or LMIR to such day, or (ii) immediately, if such Person may not lawfully continue to maintain such Portion of Investment at the Yield Rate determined by reference to the Euro-Rate or LMIR to such day. 

Section 1.10.    [Reserved].

 (vi)    any dispute, claim, offset or defense

 ARTICLE IV 

ADMINISTRATION AND COLLECTIONS 

Section 4.1.    Appointment of the Servicer. 

(a)    The servicing, administering and collection of the Pool Receivables shall be
conducted by the Person so designated from time to time as the Servicer in accordance with this Section. Until the Administrator gives notice to Worthington (in accordance with this Section 4.1) of the designation of a new
Servicer, Worthington is hereby designated as, and hereby agrees to perform the duties and obligations of, the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof. Upon the occurrence of a Termination Event, the Administrator may (with the consent of the Majority
Purchasers) or shall (at the direction of the Majority Purchasers) designate as Servicer any Person (including itself) to succeed Worthington or any successor Servicer, on the condition in each case that any such Person so designated shall agree to
perform the duties and obligations of the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof. 

(b)    Upon the designation of a successor Servicer as set forth in clause (a),
Worthington agrees that it will terminate its activities as Servicer hereunder in a manner that the Administrator determines will facilitate the transition of the performance of such activities to the new Servicer, and Worthington shall cooperate
with and assist such new Servicer. Such cooperation shall include access to and transfer of related records (including all Contracts) and use by the new Servicer of all licenses, hardware or software necessary or desirable to collect the Pool
Receivables and the Related Security. 
 (c)    Worthington acknowledges that, in making
their decision to execute and deliver this Agreement, the Administrator and each Purchaser Group have relied on Worthington’s agreement to act as Servicer hereunder. Accordingly, Worthington agrees that it will not voluntarily resign as
Servicer without the consent of the Majority Purchasers. 
 (d)    The Servicer may
delegate its duties and obligations hereunder to any subservicer (each a “Sub-Servicer”); provided, that, in each such delegation: (i) such
Sub-Servicer shall agree in writing to perform the duties and obligations of the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof, (ii) the Servicer shall remain primarily liable for the performance of the duties
and obligations so delegated, (iii) the Seller, the Administrator and each Purchaser Group shall have the right to look solely to the Servicer for performance, and (iv) the terms of any agreement with any
Sub-Servicer shall provide that the Administrator may terminate such agreement upon the termination of the Servicer hereunder by giving notice of its desire to terminate such agreement to the Servicer (and the
Servicer shall provide appropriate notice to each such Sub-Servicer); provided, however, that if any such delegation is to any Person other than an Originator or an Affiliate thereof, the
Administrator and the Majority Purchasers shall have consented in writing in advance to such delegation. 

  
 15 








 Section 4.2.    Duties of the Servicer. 

(a)    The Servicer shall take or cause to be taken all such action as may be necessary or
advisable to administer and collect each Pool Receivable from time to time, all in accordance with this Agreement and all applicable laws, rules and regulations, with reasonable care and diligence, and in accordance with the Credit and Collection
Policies. The Servicer shall set aside, for the account of each Purchaser Group, the amount of the Collections to which each such Purchaser Group is entitled in accordance with Article I. The Servicer may, in accordance with the applicable
Credit and Collection Policy, extend the maturity of any Pool Receivable (but not beyond 30 days) and extend the maturity or adjust the Outstanding Balance of any Defaulted Receivable as the Servicer may determine to be appropriate to maximize
Collections thereof; provided, however, that: (i) such extension shall not change the number of days such Pool Receivable has remained unpaid from the date of the original due date related to such Pool Receivable, (ii) such
extension or adjustment shall not alter the status of such Pool Receivable as a Delinquent Receivable or a Defaulted Receivable or limit the rights of the Administrator or any Purchaser Group under this Agreement and (iii) if a Termination
Event has occurred and Worthington or an Affiliate thereof is serving as the Servicer, Worthington or such Affiliate may make such extension or adjustment only upon the prior approval of the Administrator (with the consent of the Majority
Purchasers). 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 each Purchaser Group), 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 Worthington 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; provided, however, that no such direction may be given unless either: (A) a
Termination Event has occurred or (B) the Administrator believes in good faith that failure to commence, settle or effect such legal action, foreclosure or repossession could adversely affect Receivables constituting a material portion of the
Pool Receivables. 
 (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 Worthington 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 Worthington 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
later of: (i) the Facility Termination Date and (ii) the date on which all amounts required to be paid to the Purchaser Agents, each Purchaser, the Administrator and any other Indemnified Party or Affected Person hereunder shall have been
paid in full. 

  
 16 








 After such termination, if Worthington 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 Account
Arrangements. Within 30 days from the initial purchase hereunder, the Seller shall have entered into Lock-Box Agreements with all of the Lock-Box Banks and
delivered original counterparts of each to the Administrator and each Purchaser Agent. Upon the occurrence of a Termination Event, the Administrator may (with the consent of a Simple Majority of the Purchasers) or shall (upon the direction of a
Simple Majority of the Purchasers) at any time thereafter give notice to each Lock-Box Bank that the Administrator is exercising its rights under the Lock-Box Agreements
to do any or all of the following: (a) to have the exclusive ownership and control of the Lock-Box Accounts transferred to the Administrator (for the benefit of the Purchasers) and to exercise exclusive
dominion and control over the funds deposited therein, (b) to have the proceeds that are sent to the respective Lock-Box Accounts redirected pursuant to the Administrator’s instructions rather than
deposited in the applicable Lock-Box Account, and (c) to take any or all other actions permitted under the applicable Lock-Box Agreement. The Seller hereby agrees
that if the Administrator at any time takes any action set forth in the preceding sentence, the Administrator shall have exclusive control (for the benefit of the Purchasers) of the proceeds (including Collections) of all Pool Receivables and the
Seller hereby further agrees to take any other action that the Administrator or any Purchaser Agent may reasonably request to transfer such control. Any proceeds of Pool Receivables received by the Seller or the Servicer thereafter shall be sent
immediately to the Administrator. The parties hereto hereby acknowledge that if at any time the Administrator takes control of any Lock-Box Account, the Administrator shall not have any rights to the funds
therein in excess of the unpaid amounts due to the Administrator, the Purchaser Groups, any Indemnified Party or any other Person hereunder, and the Administrator shall distribute or cause to be distributed such funds in accordance with
Section 4.2(b) and Article I (in each case as if such funds were held by the Servicer thereunder). 

Section 4.4.    Enforcement Rights. 

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

(i)    the Administrator may (with the consent or at the direction of the Majority
Purchasers) direct the Obligors that payment of all amounts payable under any Pool Receivable is to be made directly to the Administrator or its designee, 

(ii)    the Administrator may (with the consent or at the direction of the Majority
Purchasers) instruct the Seller or the Servicer to give notice of the Purchaser Groups’ 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
such Purchaser Groups), 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, the Administrator (at the Seller’s or the Servicer’s, as the case may be, expense) may so notify the Obligors, and 

  
 17 








 (iii)    the Administrator may (with the
consent or at the direction of the Majority Purchasers) 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. 

(b)    The Seller hereby authorizes the Administrator (on behalf of each Purchaser Group),
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, in the determination of the Administrator, after the occurrence of a Termination Event, 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. 

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 interests in such Pool Receivables had not been transferred hereunder, and the exercise by the Administrator, the Purchaser Agents or the
Purchasers 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.
The Administrator, the Purchaser Agents or any of the Purchasers shall not 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, Servicer, Worthington or
the Originators thereunder. 
 (b)    Worthington 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, Worthington shall conduct the data-processing functions of the
administration of the Receivables and the Collections thereon in substantially the same way that Worthington conducted such data-processing functions while it acted as the Servicer. 

  
 18 








 Section 4.6.    Servicing
Fee. (a) Subject to clause (b), the Servicer shall be paid a fee (the “Servicing Fee”) equal to 1.00% per annum of the daily average aggregate Outstanding Balance of the Pool Receivables.
The Aggregate of each Purchaser Group’s Ratable Share of such fee shall be paid through the distributions contemplated by Section 1.4(d), and the Seller’s Share of the Purchasers’ Share of such fee shall be
paid by the Seller. 
 (b)    If the Servicer ceases to be Worthington 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.

or otherwise exist against such Purchaser Agent. 

  
 19 








 (c)    Except as otherwise specifically
provided in this Agreement, the provisions of this Article V are solely for the benefit of the Purchaser Agents, the Administrator and the Purchasers, and none of the Seller or Servicer shall have any rights as a
third-party beneficiary or otherwise under any of the provisions of this Article V, except that this Article V shall not affect any obligations which any Purchaser Agent,
the Administrator or any Purchaser may have to the Seller or the 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.

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 other Purchaser, any other Purchaser Agent or the Administrator, or any of their respective successors and assigns.

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. 

Section 5.3.    Exculpatory Provisions. None of the Purchaser Agents, the Administrator
or any of their 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 Purchasers (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, Servicer, or any of their Affiliates, (ii) the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or
sufficiency of any Transaction Document, (iii) any failure of the Seller, any Originator or any of their Affiliates to perform any obligation 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, Servicer, Originator or any of their Affiliates. 
 Section 5.4.    Reliance by
Agents. (a) 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), 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 

  
 20 








 
advice or concurrence of the Majority Purchasers (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. 

(b)    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 Purchasers 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. 
 (c)    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 such Purchasers. Such Purchaser Agent shall in all cases be
fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement in accordance with a request of such majority Purchasers, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of such
Purchaser Agent’s Purchasers. 
 (d)    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. 

Section 5.5.    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 Administrator has received notice from any Purchaser, Purchaser Agent, the Servicer or the Seller stating
that a Termination Event or 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 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 Unmatured Termination Event as may be directed by the Majority Purchasers unless such action otherwise requires the consent of all Purchasers), 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 Purchaser
Agents. 

  
 21 









Section 5.6.    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, Worthington, Servicer or any Originator, 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, 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, Worthington, Servicer or 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 with any information concerning the
Seller, Worthington, Servicer or 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. 

Section 5.7.    Administrators and Affiliates. Each of the Purchasers and the
Administrator and their Affiliates may extend credit to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, debt, equity or other business with the Seller, Worthington, Servicer or any Originator or any of their Affiliates and
PNC may exercise or refrain from exercising its rights and powers as if it were not the Administrator. 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 each of the Purchaser Agents and the
Administrator in their individual capacities. 
 Section 5.8.    Indemnification. Each
Purchaser Group shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrator (but solely in its capacity as Administrator) and its officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents (to the extent not reimbursed by the Seller, Worthington or Servicer
and without limiting the obligation of the Seller, Worthington or Servicer to do so), ratably in accordance with its Ratable Share from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, judgments, settlements, costs,
expenses and disbursements of any kind whatsoever (including in connection with any investigative or threatened proceeding, whether or not the Administrator or such Person shall be designated a party thereto) that may at any time be imposed on,
incurred by or asserted against the Administrator or such Person as a result of, or related to, 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, judgments, settlements, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the
Administrator or such Person as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction); provided, that in the case of each Purchaser that is a commercial paper conduit, such indemnity shall be provided solely to the extent of amounts
received by such Purchaser under this Agreement which exceed the amounts required to 

  
 22 








 
repay such Purchaser’s outstanding Notes. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.8 to the contrary, each of the Administrator, each Purchaser Agent and each
Purchaser hereby covenants and agrees that it shall not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, any Conduit Purchaser any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding or other proceedings
under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and a day after the latest maturing Note issued by such Conduit Purchaser is paid in full. 

Section 5.9.    Successor Administrator. The Administrator may, upon at least five
(5) days notice to the Seller and each Purchaser and Purchaser Agent, resign as Administrator. Such resignation shall not become effective until a successor agent is appointed by the Majority Purchasers 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 Article V shall
inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrator. 
 ARTICLE VI 

MISCELLANEOUS 

Section 6.1.    Amendments, Etc. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this
Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or consent to any departure by the Seller or the Servicer therefrom, shall be effective unless in a writing signed by the Administrator and each of the Majority Purchasers, 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; provided, however, that, if required by any Conduit
Purchaser, no such material amendment shall be effective until both Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s have notified the related Purchaser Agent in writing that such action will not result in a reduction or withdrawal of the rating of
any Notes; provided, further that no such amendment or waiver shall, without the consent of each affected Purchaser, (A) extend the date of any payment or deposit of Collections by the Seller or the Servicer, (B) reduce the
rate or extend the time of payment of Yield, (C) reduce any fees payable to the Administrator, any Purchaser Agent or any Purchaser pursuant to the applicable Purchaser Group Fee Letter, (D) change the amount of Investment of any
Purchaser, any Purchaser’s pro rata share of the Purchased Interest or any Related Committed Purchaser’s Commitment, (E) amend, modify or waive any provision of the definition of “Majority Purchaser” or this
Section 6.1, (F) consent to or permit the assignment or transfer by the Seller of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, (G) change the definition of “Concentration Percentage,”
“Concentration Reserve,” “Concentration Reserve Percentage,” “Eligible Receivable,” “Loss Reserve,” “Loss Reserve Percentage,” “Dilution Reserve,” “Dilution Reserve Percentage,”
“Termination Event,” “Total Reserve,” “Yield Reserve,” or “Yield Reserve Percentage”, (H) amend or modify any defined term (or any defined term used directly or indirectly in such defined term) used in clauses
(A) through (G) above in a manner that would circumvent the intention of the restrictions set forth in such clauses, or (I) otherwise materially and adversely affect the rights of any such Purchaser hereunder. No failure on the part of the
Purchasers or the Administrator 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. 

  
 23 








 Section 6.2.    Notices, Etc. All notices
and other communications hereunder shall, unless otherwise stated herein, be in writing (which shall include facsimile communication) and be sent or delivered to each party hereto at its address set forth under its name on the signature pages hereof
(or in any Assumption Agreement pursuant to which it became a party hereto) or at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other parties hereto. Notices and communications by facsimile shall be effective
when sent (and shall be followed by hard copy sent by first class mail), and notices and communications sent by other means shall be effective when received. 

Section 6.3.    Successors and Assigns; Participations; Assignments. 

(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 herein, the Seller may not 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 Purchaser Agents and the Purchasers. 

(b)    Participations. Any Purchaser may sell to one or more Persons (each a
“Participant”) participating interests in the interests of such Purchaser hereunder; provided, however, that no Purchaser shall grant any participation under which the Participant shall have rights to approve any amendment to or
waiver of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. Such Purchaser shall remain solely responsible for performing its obligations hereunder, and the Seller, 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 hereto, except amendments that
require the consent of all Purchasers. 
 (c)    Assignments by Certain Related
Committed Purchasers. Any Related Committed Purchaser may assign to one or more Persons (each a “Purchasing Related Committed Purchaser”), reasonably acceptable to the related Purchaser Agent in its sole discretion, any
portion of its Commitment pursuant to a supplement hereto, substantially in the form of Annex D with any changes as have been approved by the parties thereto (a “Transfer Supplement”), executed by each such Purchasing Related
Committed Purchaser, such selling Related Committed Purchaser, such related Purchaser Agent. Any such assignment by Related Committed Purchaser cannot 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, such related Purchaser Agent and the Administrator and (iii) payment by the Purchasing Related Committed Purchaser to the selling Related Committed Purchaser of the agreed purchase
price, such selling Related Committed Purchaser shall be released from its obligations hereunder to the extent of such assignment and such Purchasing Related Committed Purchaser shall for all purposes be a Related Committed Purchaser party hereto
and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Related Committed Purchaser hereunder to the same extent as if it were an original 

  
 24 








 
party hereto. The amount of the Commitment of the selling Related Committed Purchaser allocable to such Purchasing Related Committed Purchaser shall be equal to the amount of the Commitment of
the selling Related Committed Purchaser transferred regardless of the purchase price paid therefor. The Transfer Supplement shall be an amendment hereof only to the extent necessary to reflect the addition of such Purchasing Related Committed
Purchaser as a “Related Committed Purchaser” and any resulting adjustment of the selling Related Committed Purchaser’s Commitment. 

(d)    Replaceable Related Committed Purchaser. If any Related Committed
Purchaser (a “Replaceable Related Committed Purchaser”) shall (i) petition the Seller for any amounts under Section 1.7 or 1.8 or (ii) cease to have a short-term debt rating of “A-1” by Standard & Poor’s and “P-1” by Moody’s (if such a rating is required by the related Purchaser’s securitization program),
the related Purchaser Agent or the Administrator may designate a replacement financial institution (a “Replacement Related Committed Purchaser”), to which such Replaceable Related Committed Purchaser shall, subject to its receipt of
an amount equal to the aggregate outstanding principal balance of its Investment and accrued and unpaid Discount thereon (and, if applicable, its receipt (unless a later date for the remittance thereof shall be agreed upon by the Seller and such
Replaceable Related Committed Purchaser) of all amounts claimed under Section 1.7 and/or 1.8) promptly assign all of its rights, obligations and Commitment hereunder, together with all of its right, title and
interest in, to and under the Purchased Interest allocable to it, to the Replacement Related Committed Purchaser in accordance with Section 6.3(c), above. Once such assignment becomes effective, the Replacement Related
Committed Purchaser shall be deemed to be a “Related Committed Purchaser” for all purposes hereof and such Replaceable Related Committed Purchaser shall cease to be “Related Committed Purchaser” for all purposes hereof and shall
have no further rights or obligations hereunder. 
 (e)    Assignment by Conduit
Purchasers. Each party hereto agrees and consents (i) to any Conduit Purchaser’s assignment, participation, grant of security interests in or other transfers of any portion of, or any of its beneficial interest in, the Purchased
Interest (or portion thereof), 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, however, that such Conduit Purchaser may not, without the prior consent of its Related 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
supplement hereto, substantially in the form of Annex D with any changes as have been approved by the parties thereto (also, a “Transfer Supplement”), duly executed by such Conduit Purchaser, assigning any portion of its
interest in the Purchased Interest to its assignee. Such Conduit Purchaser shall promptly (i) notify each of the other parties hereto of such assignment and (ii) take all further 

  
 25 








 
action that the assignee reasonably requests in order to evidence the assignee’s right, title and interest in such interest in the Purchased Interest 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 Interest, the assignee shall have all of the rights hereunder with respect to such interest (except that the Discount
therefor shall thereafter accrue at the rate, 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 or to maintain the ratings of any Conduit Purchaser, each Transfer Supplement 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. 

Section 6.4.    Costs, Expenses and Taxes. In addition to the rights of indemnification
granted under Section 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) 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, each Purchaser Group and their respective Affiliates and agents with respect thereto
and with respect to advising the Administrator, each Purchaser Group and their respective Affiliates and agents as to their rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, and (ii) all reasonable costs and expenses
(including Attorney Costs), if any, of the Administrator, each Purchaser Group and their respective Affiliates and agents in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. 

(a)    In addition, 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 agrees to 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. 

Section 6.5.    No Proceedings; Limitation on Payments. Each of the Seller, Worthington,
the Servicer, the Administrator, the Purchaser Agents, the Purchasers, each assignee of the Purchased Interest or any interest therein, and each Person that enters into a commitment to purchase the Purchased Interest or interests 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 6.5 shall survive any termination of this
Agreement. 

  
 26 








 Section 6.6.    GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION.

 (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. 

(b)    ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN
THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK; AND, BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO CONSENTS, FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THOSE COURTS. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY OBJECTION, INCLUDING ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON THE
GROUNDS OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN SUCH JURISDICTION IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENT RELATED HERETO. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE
OF ANY SUMMONS, COMPLAINT OR OTHER PROCESS, WHICH SERVICE MAY BE MADE BY ANY OTHER MEANS PERMITTED BY NEW YORK LAW. 

Section 6.7.    Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number
of counterparts, each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute one and the same agreement. 

Section 6.8.    Survival of Termination. The provisions of Sections 1.7,
1.8, 3.1, 3.2, 6.4, 6.5, 6.6, 6.9 and 6.14 shall survive any termination of this Agreement. 

Section 6.9.    WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. 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 OTHERWISE. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE TRIED BY A COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY. WITHOUT LIMITING THE
FOREGOING, EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO FURTHER AGREES THAT ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IS WAIVED BY OPERATION OF THIS SECTION AS TO ANY ACTION, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER PROCEEDING THAT SEEKS, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, TO CHALLENGE THE VALIDITY OR
ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY PROVISION HEREOF. THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT. 

  
 27 








 Section 6.10.    Sharing of Recoveries. Each
Purchaser agrees that if it receives any recovery, through set-off, judicial action or otherwise, on any amount payable or recoverable hereunder in a greater proportion than should have been received hereunder
or otherwise inconsistent with the provisions hereof, then the recipient of such recovery shall purchase for cash an interest in amounts owing to the other Purchasers (as return of Investment 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. 

Section 6.11.    Right of Setoff. During a Termination Event, 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, the Seller against amounts owing by the Seller hereunder (even if contingent or unmatured). 

Section 6.12.    Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents
embody the entire agreement and understanding between the parties hereto, and supersede all prior or contemporaneous agreements and understandings of such Persons, verbal or written, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof. 

Section 6.13.    Headings. The captions and headings of this Agreement and any Exhibit,
Schedule or Annex hereto are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the interpretation hereof or thereof. 

Section 6.14.    Purchaser Groups’ Liabilities. The
obligations of each Purchaser Agent and each Purchaser under the Transaction Documents are solely the corporate obligations of such 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 the 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. 

  
 28 








 Section 6.15.    Excluded Obligors. 

(a)    So long as each of the Exclusion Conditions shall be satisfied, the Servicer may, from time to time
and at its sole discretion, request that an Obligor be designated as an Excluded Obligor by delivering an Excluded Obligor Request to the Administrator and each Purchaser Agent, which Excluded Obligor Request shall (i) list the name of such
proposed Excluded Obligor and (ii) specify the proposed Excluded Obligor Date with respect to such proposed Excluded Obligor (which date shall be no less than ten (10) Business Days following the date of such request); provided,
however, that the Servicer shall not deliver more than one Excluded Obligor Request per calendar month. For purposes of this Section 6.15, “Exclusion Conditions” means, as of any date of
determination, the satisfaction of all of the following conditions on such date: (i) no Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, or would result from the proposed designation of such Obligor as a Excluded
Obligor, (ii) after giving effect to such proposed designation of such Obligor as a Excluded Obligor, the Aggregate Investment does not exceed the Purchase Limit, and the Purchased Interest does not exceed 100% and (iii) the Facility
Termination Date has not occurred. 
 (b)    So long as (i) as of the applicable Excluded Obligor
Date and after giving effect to such Obligor’s designation as an Excluded Obligor, each of the Exclusion Conditions have been satisfied and (ii) the Administrator has consented in writing to such Obligor’s designation as an Excluded
Obligor, such consent to be granted or withheld in its sole and absolute discretion, then (x) upon the countersignature by the Administrator of such Excluded Obligor Request, such proposed Excluded Obligor shall constitute an Excluded Obligor
as of the related Excluded Obligor Date and shall no longer constitute an Obligor for purposes of the Transaction Documents except with respect to Receivables originated prior to the Excluded Obligor Date and (y) the Administrator (or the
Servicer on its behalf) shall, in each case at the expense of the Seller, (I) file on or promptly following the related Excluded Obligor Date and at the sole expense of the Seller, one or more UCC-3
financing statement amendments, in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrator, with respect to UCC-1 financing statements filed against the applicable Originator in connection with the Transaction
Documents releasing , and (II) take such other actions as may be reasonably necessary to evidence the release of, in each case, the Administrator’s security interest or other rights in the Receivables created on or after the related
Excluded Obligor Date, the Obligor of which is such Excluded Obligor, and all Related Security related thereto so long as such Related Security relates solely to such Excluded Receivables. 

(c)    Each of the parties hereto hereby acknowledge and agree that no Receivable, the Obligor of which is
an Excluded Obligor, that was originated prior to the related Excluded Obligor Date shall be transferred and assigned by the Seller to the related Originator or any other Person and all such Receivables shall remain in the Receivables Pool. However,
any Receivable, the Obligor of which is an Excluded Obligor, that was originated after the related Excluded Obligor Date shall not be part of the Receivables Pool hereunder. 

(d)    The Seller and the Servicer covenant and agree to, and to cause each Originator to, instruct each
Excluded Obligor on or promptly following the related Excluded Obligor Date to deliver payments on all Excluded Receivables to any lock-box or account other than a
Lock-Box Account.

 EXHIBIT I

Receivable is effective to create, and has created, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the related Obligor to pay the Outstanding Balance of the Receivable created thereunder and any accrued interest thereon, enforceable against the Obligor in
accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (regardless
of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law). 
 (w)    Since
its most recent fiscal year end, there has been no change in the business, operations, financial condition, properties or assets of the Seller which would have a Material Adverse Effect on its ability to perform its obligations under the Agreement

direction of the Majority Purchasers) reasonable grounds for insecurity exist with respect to the collectibility of a material portion of the Pool Receivables or with respect to the Seller’s performance or ability to perform in any material
respect its obligations under the Agreement, as reasonably requested in advance (unless a Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event exists) by the Administrator or any Purchaser, permit the 

  
 IV-2 








 
Administrator or any Purchaser, or agent or representatives of the Administration or any Purchaser: (i) to examine and make copies of and abstracts from all books, records and documents

terminate any bank as a Lock-Box Bank or any account as a Lock-Box Account from those listed in Schedule II to the Agreement, or make any change in its
instructions to Obligors regarding payments to be made to the Seller, the Originators, the Servicer or any Lock-Box Account (or related post office box), unless the Administrator and the Majority Purchasers
shall have consented thereto in writing and the Administrator shall have received copies of all agreements and documents (including Lock-Box Agreements) that it may request in connection therewith.
Notwithstanding anything contained in this paragraph (i) to the contrary, the Seller may add a Permitted Lock-Box Bank as a Lock-Box Bank upon the consent of
the Administrator and the Majority Purchasers, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. 

(j)    Deposits to Lock-Box
Accounts. The Seller shall (or shall cause the Servicer to): (i) deposit, or cause to be deposited, any Collections received by it, the Servicer or any Originator into Lock-Box Accounts not later than

 IV-3 








 
be, without any action of the Administrator, the Purchasers or any Purchaser Group, free and clear of any liens or other rights in such Subject Collections which may have arisen in favor the
Administrator, the Purchasers or any Purchaser Group under the Transaction Documents. The Seller shall not permit funds other than (i) Collections on Pool Receivables and (ii) Subject Collections, to be deposited into any Lock-Box Account. If such funds are nevertheless deposited into any Lock-Box Account, the Seller (or the Servicer on its behalf) will within two (2) Business Days
identify and transfer such funds to the appropriate Person entitled to such funds. The Seller will not, and will not permit the Servicer, any Originator or any other Person to commingle Collections or other funds to which the Administrator or any
Purchaser is entitled, with any other funds (other than Subject Collections). Except as otherwise agreed to in writing by the Administrator and the Majority Purchasers or as provided in Section 4.3, each Lock-Box Account shall at all times be subject to a Lock-Box Agreement.

Documents, if a Cease Commingling Event has occurred:

Lock-Box Account that represent Subject Collections;

Subject Receivable to cease remitting payments with respect to all Subject Receivables to any Lock-Box Account and to instead remit payments with respect thereto to any other account or lock-box (other than a Lock-Box Account or any other account owned by the Seller) from time to time identified to such obligor; and 

(iv)    that portion of the funds deposited into each
Lock-Box representing Subject Collections shall be transferred to such Persons entitled to such funds as identified by Seller or Servicer. 

(k)    Reporting Requirements. The Seller will provide to the Administrator (in
multiple copies, if requested by the Administrator) and each Purchaser Agent the following:

Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event, a statement of the chief financial officer of the Seller setting forth details of such Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event and the action that the Seller has taken and proposes to take

 (iii)    promptly after the filing or
receiving thereof, copies of all reports and notices that the Seller or any Affiliate files under ERISA with the Internal Revenue Service, the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation or the U.S. Department of Labor or that the Seller or any Affiliate

in respect of the assessment of withdrawal liability or an event or condition that could, in the aggregate, result in the imposition of material liability on the Seller and/or any such Affiliate;

(A) material adverse litigation, investigation or proceeding that may exist at any time between the Seller and any Person or (B) material litigation or proceeding relating to any Transaction Document; 

(vi)    promptly after the occurrence thereof, notice of a Material Adverse Effect in the
business, operations, property or financial or other condition of the Seller, the Servicer or Worthington Industries, Inc. on a consolidated basis; and

financial or otherwise, of the Seller or any of its Affiliates as the Administrator or any Purchaser Agent may from time to time reasonably request. 

(l)    Certain Agreements. Without the prior written consent of the
Administrator and the Majority Purchasers, the Seller will not (and will not permit any Originator to) amend, modify, waive, revoke or terminate any Transaction Document to which it is a party or any provision of Seller’s certificate of
incorporation or by-laws.

to the extent that it ceases to be the Servicer, Worthington, shall (and shall cause each Originator to), from time to time during regular business hours, but no more frequently than annual unless (x) a Termination Event or Unmatured

Unmatured Termination Event exists) by the Administrator or a Purchaser, permit the Administrator or a Purchaser, or of the Administrator or any Purchaser agent or representative: (i) to examine and make copies of and abstracts from all books,
records and documents (including computer tapes and disks) in its possession or under its control relating to Receivables and the Related Security, including the related Contracts; and (ii) to visit its offices and properties for the purpose of

(g)    Change in Lock-Box Banks, Lock-Box Accounts and Payment Instructions to Obligors. The Servicer and, to the extent that it ceases to be the Servicer, Worthington, shall not (and shall not permit any Originator to) add or terminate any
bank as a Lock-Box Bank or any account as a Lock-Box Account from those listed in Schedule II to the Agreement, or make any change in its instructions to Obligors
regarding payments to be made to the Servicer or any Lock-Box Account (or related post office box), unless the Administrator and the Majority Purchasers shall have consented thereto in writing and the
Administrator shall have received copies of all agreements and documents (including Lock-Box Agreements) that it may request in connection therewith. Notwithstanding anything contained in this paragraph

after receipt thereof, and (ii) instruct all Obligors to make payments of all Receivables to one or more Lock-Box Accounts or to post office boxes to which only

removed and deposited into a Lock-Box Account on a daily basis). The Servicer will, at all times, maintain such books and records necessary to (i) identify Collections received


  
 IV-8 








 
from time to time on Pool Receivables, (ii) segregate such Collections from other property of the Servicer and the Originators, (iii) identify Subject Collections received from time to
time and (iv) segregate such Subject Collections from other property of the Servicer and the Originators. The Servicer shall provide such information with respect to Subject Collections deposited into each
Lock-Box Account as from time to time reasonably requested by the Administrator. For the avoidance of doubt, Subject Collections shall not be required to be deposited into a
Lock-Box Account and Seller or Servicer may, so long as no Termination Event is then continuing or the Administrator is not then exercising its rights under Section 4.3, at any time
transfer Subject Collections from any Lock-Box Account to such Persons entitled to such funds as identified by Seller or Servicer, such transfer to be, without any action of the Administrator, the Purchasers
or any Purchaser Group, free and clear of any liens or other rights in such Subject Collections which may have arisen in favor the Administrator, the Purchasers or any Purchaser Group under the Transaction Documents. The Servicer shall not permit
funds other than (i) Collections on Pool Receivables and (ii) Subject Collections, to be deposited into any Lock-Box Account. If such funds are nevertheless deposited into any Lock-Box Account, the Servicer will within two (2) Business Days identify and transfer such funds to the appropriate Person entitled to such funds. The Servicer will not, and will not permit the Seller, any
Originator or any other Person to commingle Collections or other funds to which the Administrator or any Purchaser is entitled, with any other funds (other than Subject Collections). Except as otherwise agreed to in writing by the Administrator and
the Majority Purchasers or as provided in Section 4.3, each Lock-Box Account shall at all times be subject to a Lock-Box Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents, if a Cease Commingling Event has occurred: 

(i)    within one Business Day following the deposit of any Subject Collections into any Lock-Box Account, the Servicer shall identify the portion of funds deposited into each Lock-Box Account that represent Subject Collections; 

(ii)    on each Business Day, the Servicer shall provide such information with respect to
Subject Collections deposited into each Lock-Box Account as reasonably requested by the Administrator; and 

(iii)    the Servicer shall instruct the obligor of each Subject Receivable to cease
remitting payments with respect to all Subject Receivables to any Lock-Box Account and to instead remit payments with respect thereto to any other account or lock-box
(other than a Lock-Box Account or any other account owned by the Seller) from time to time identified to such obligor; and 

(iv)    that portion of the funds deposited into each
Lock-Box representing Subject Collections shall be transferred to such Persons entitled to such funds as identified by Seller or Servicer.

(2) above, (4) a person or other entity controlling or under common control with any such stockholder, partner, manager, customer, supplier, employee, officer or director or (5) a trustee, conservator or receiver for any member of

that covers the Seller and such Affiliate; 
 (m)    The Seller will maintain arm’s-length relationships with Worthington (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
