PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS.  Certain terms that are capitalized and used throughout this Agreement are defined in Exhibit I to this Agreement.  References in the Exhibits hereto to “the Agreement” refer to this Agreement, as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time.
Certain of the parties hereto are party to that certain Ninth Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement, dated as of September 29, 2020 (the “Prior Agreement”), pursuant to which the Seller has sold, transferred and assigned an undivided variable percentage interest in a pool of receivables to the Purchasers thereunder.
The parties hereto wish to amend and restate the Prior Agreement in its entirety in order to make certain changes set forth herein.
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 conditions hereinafter set forth, each Purchaser hereby agrees to purchase and make reinvestments of undivided percentage ownership interests with regard to its Participation from the Seller from time to time prior to the Termination Date.  Under no circumstances shall any Purchaser make any such purchase or reinvestment, if, after giving effect to such purchase or reinvestment, (A) the aggregate Investment of such Purchaser would exceed its Maximum Commitment; or (B) the aggregate outstanding Investment of all Purchasers would exceed the Maximum Amount.
(b)The Seller may, upon at least 30 days’ notice to the Agent, the Purchaser Agents, the Servicer and the Backup Servicer, terminate the purchase facility provided in Section 1.1(a) in 
									
			
			












whole or, from time to time, irrevocably reduce in part the unused portion of the Maximum Amount (for purposes of this calculation, any deferred purchase amounts which Purchasers are still obligated to fund prior to any applicable Deferred Purchase Date(s) under Section 1.2(a) shall be treated as funded); provided that each partial reduction shall be in the amount of at least $1,000,000, or an integral multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof and shall not reduce the Maximum Amount below $100,000,000.  Any such reductions shall be applied to the Maximum Commitments of the Purchasers on a pro rata basis or as otherwise consented to by the Agent.
(c)On the date hereof, the Seller shall either (1) request a purchase hereunder from the Purchaser Groups increasing their Maximum Commitments on the date hereof (on a non-pro rata basis) and apply the proceeds thereof to solely realign the aggregate Investments of the Purchasers hereunder such that after giving effect to such payments the aggregate Investment is funded by all Purchaser Groups on a pro rata basis based on their Maximum Commitments as a percentage of the Maximum Amount or (2) request a purchase hereunder in the ordinary course but on a non-pro rata basis (to the extent necessary) from the Purchasers such that after giving effect thereto the aggregate Investments of the Purchasers hereunder shall be funded by all Purchaser Groups on a pro rata basis based on their Maximum Commitments as a percentage of the Maximum Amount.
Section 1.2.  Making Purchases.  (a)  Each purchase (but not reinvestment under Section 1.4(c)) of undivided ownership interests with regard to any Participation of any Purchaser hereunder shall be made upon the Seller’s irrevocable written notice in the form of Annex A (a “Purchase Notice”) delivered to the Agent and each Purchaser Agent in accordance with Section 6.2 (which notice must be received by such Purchaser Agents prior to 2:00 p.m., Chicago time) on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of such proposed purchase.  Each such notice of any such proposed purchase shall specify the desired amount and date of such purchase.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Purchaser may, in its sole discretion by written notice to the Seller, Servicer and Agent by 5:00 p.m. on the date of receipt of a Purchase Notice, elect to fund any requested purchase (but not reinvestment under Section 1.4(c)) no later than the [**] day following the requested purchase date (the “Deferred Purchase Date”), rather than on the requested purchase date.  Upon receipt of any such notice, the Agent shall forward a copy thereof promptly to all Purchaser Agents.  In the event that a Purchaser so elects to defer funding a purchase, subject to the adjustment of the purchase amount payable as described in clause (i) below, the Purchaser shall be obligated to fund such purchase no later than such Deferred Purchase Date so long as all applicable conditions to such purchase pursuant to Exhibit II were satisfied on the related requested purchase date (regardless of whether such conditions to funding are not satisfied thereafter or on the Deferred Purchase Date).  A Purchaser which has elected a Deferred Purchase Date and which has not yet funded such purchase in full or otherwise had such unfulfilled purchase reduced to zero pursuant to clause (i) below (a “Deferring Purchaser”) may (in its sole discretion) fund such purchase on any Business Day prior to such Deferred Purchase Date.  Subject to the adjustment of the purchase amount payable as described in clause (i) below, the Seller shall be obligated to accept the proceeds of any such purchase on the date funded by the applicable Deferring Purchaser in accordance with this paragraph).  No non-Deferring Purchaser shall be obligated to fund any amounts required to be funded by a Deferring Purchaser.  In addition, if there is a Deferring Purchaser:






									
		2
	












(i)all repayments of Investment shall be made on a pro rata basis across all Purchasers (based on each such Purchaser’s Investment (including, for purposes of this calculation, any deferred purchase amounts which such Purchaser is still obligated to fund prior to the applicable Deferred Purchase Date(s)) as a percentage of the aggregate Investment for all Purchasers (including the aggregate of all outstanding deferred purchase amounts); provided, that amounts allocated to any Deferring Purchaser shall first be applied to reduce any applicable unfulfilled purchase amounts of that Deferring Purchaser (starting with the most recently deferred purchase) without the payment of cash and then, after all such Deferring Purchaser’s unfulfilled purchase amounts have been reduced to zero, applied to reduce such Deferring Purchaser’s Investment through the payment of cash; and
(ii)future purchase requests and reports shall be calculated on a pro forma basis including the unfulfilled purchase of any Deferring Purchasers (e.g., the calculation of the Participation shall include such unfulfilled purchases).  For the avoidance of doubt, no unfulfilled purchase shall accrue Discount or be included in the calculation of fees hereunder until funded.
(b)On the date of each purchase (but not reinvestment under Section 1.4(c)) of undivided ownership interests with regard to the Participation of any Purchaser, each Purchaser shall, subject to Sections 1.1(a) and 1.2(a) and the satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Exhibit II hereto, make available to its Purchaser Agent, in same day funds, an amount equal to its pro rata share (based on the Maximum Commitment of such Purchaser as a percentage of the Maximum Amount) of the amount of such purchase.  Upon receipt of such funds, each such Purchaser Agent shall make such funds immediately available to the Seller pursuant to the wire instructions provided on the Purchase Notice.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Purchaser Group, each Note Issuer in such Purchaser Group may, in its sole discretion, make available to its Purchaser Agent all or a portion of the pro rata share of such purchase allocated to such Note Issuer’s Purchaser Group.  If a Note Issuer elects not to fund its Purchaser Group’s portion in full, such Note Issuer’s related Purchasers with Maximum Commitments shall, subject to Sections 1.1(a) and 1.2(a) and the satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Exhibit II hereto, make available any such shortfall on such date of purchase.
(c)The Seller hereby sells and assigns to the Agent, for the benefit of the Purchasers, an undivided percentage ownership interest equal to the Aggregate Participation in (i) each Pool Receivable then existing and thereafter arising, (ii) Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under 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 the 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, including to secure the obligation of the Servicer to apply Collections as provided in this Agreement, the Seller hereby grants to the Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under all of the following, whether now or hereafter owned, existing or arising:  (A) all Pool Receivables, (B) all Related Security with respect to each such Pool Receivable, (C) all Collections with respect to such Pool Receivables and Related Security, (D) the Deposit Accounts, the Liquidation Account and the Cash Reserve Account and all certificates and instruments, if any,

The Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall have, with respect to the property described in this Section 1.2(d), and in addition to all the other rights and remedies available under this Agreement, all the rights and remedies of a secured party under any applicable UCC.
Section 1.3.  Participation Computation.  Each Participation shall be automatically recomputed (or deemed to be recomputed) on each Business Day other than a Termination Day.  Each Participation shall remain constant as computed (or deemed recomputed) as of the day immediately preceding the Termination Date until such date that the aggregate Investment and Discount thereon shall have been paid in full, all the amounts owed by the Seller hereunder and under any other Transaction Document to the Purchasers, the Purchaser Agents, the Agent, and any other Indemnified Party or Affected Person are paid in full and the Servicer shall have received the accrued Servicing Fee.
Section 1.4.  Settlement Procedures.  (a)  Collection of the Pool Receivables shall be administered by the Servicer in accordance with the terms of 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 Date or Paydown Day and current computations of the Participations.  The Servicer shall segregate and hold all Collections in trust for the benefit of the Seller, the Purchasers and the other Secured Parties and, within one Business Day of the receipt of Collections of Pool Receivables by the Seller or Servicer, deposit such Collections into a Deposit Account.  On each day that is not a Termination Day, the Servicer shall remit to the Liquidation Account from the Deposit Accounts (other than those amounts identified as “cash collateral” with respect to the Deposit Accounts held at [**] (numbered [**] and [**])) an amount at least equal to the amount needed to make the payments set forth in clause (c) below.

Following the delivery of such notice, on the proposed date of commencement of such reduction and on each day thereafter, the Servicer shall cause the remainder of the Purchasers’ Share of Collections (after giving effect to allocations of more senior priority items under Section 1.4(c) above) to be transferred to the Liquidation Account and the Agent shall hold therein such amounts for the benefit of the Purchasers until the aggregate amount thereof not so reinvested shall equal the desired amount of reduction, at which time such amount shall be allocated to repay the outstanding Investment of the Purchasers ratably, with such reduction to be applied to the Investment of the Purchasers (on a pro rata basis in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.2(a)(i)); provided, that upon the occurrence of the Termination Date, all such Collections set aside shall instead be held for distribution in accordance with Section 1.4(e); and provided, further, that, unless otherwise agreed by the Agent, the amount of any such reduction with respect to each Purchaser shall be not less than $1,000,000 and shall be an integral multiple of $100,000, and the entire Investment (if any) of the Participation after giving effect to such reduction shall be not less than $100,000,000.

Section 1.5.  Fees.  (a)  The Seller shall pay to the Purchaser Agents certain fees in the amounts and on the dates set forth in a letter dated September 28, 2022 between the Seller, AFC  and the Purchaser Agents, as such letter agreement may be amended,  supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof (the “Fee Letter”).

(a)  If any Purchaser Agent, any Purchaser, the Agent, any Liquidity Bank, any other Program Support Provider or any of their respective Affiliates (each an “Affected Person”) determines that the existence of or compliance with (i) any law or regulation or any change therein or in the administration, interpretation, application or implementation thereof by any Governmental Authority or Official Body, in each case adopted, issued, taking effect or occurring after the date hereof or (ii) any request, rule, guideline or directive from any central bank or other Official Body (whether or not having the force of law) issued, occurring or first applied after the date of this Agreement (each, a “Regulatory Change”) (A) affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Affected Person and such Affected Person determines that the amount of such capital is increased by or based upon the existence of any commitment to make purchases of or otherwise to maintain the investment in Pool Receivables related to this Agreement or any related liquidity facility or credit enhancement facility and other commitments of the same type, or (B) imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve, assessment, fee, tax, insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or liabilities of any Affected Person, or credit extended by an Affected Person pursuant to this Agreement or any Liquidity Agreement or Program Support Agreement, the result of which is to increase the cost to an Affected Person of performing its obligations under this Agreement or any Liquidity Agreement or Program Support Agreement, or to reduce the rate of return on an Affected Person’s capital or assets as a consequence of its obligations under this Agreement or any Liquidity Agreement or Program Support Agreement, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by an Affected Person under this Agreement or any Liquidity Agreement or Program Support Agreement, or to require any payment calculated by reference to the amount of interests or loans held or interest received by it, under this Agreement or any Liquidity Agreement or Program Support Agreement, then, upon written demand by such Affected Person (with a copy to the Agent and the applicable Purchaser Agent (if any)), the Seller shall immediately pay to the Agent, 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, increase in costs or reduction in sum received or receivable to be allocable to the existence of any of such commitments or maintenance of its investment in the Pool Receivables and such Affected Person requires such compensation from substantially all similarly situated sellers, borrowers or other recipients of credit; provided that within 30 days of an Affected Person’s knowledge of any such circumstance and intent to seek indemnification therefor such Affected Person shall notify the Seller in writing of the same and whether such Affected Person will request that the Seller indemnify it for such circumstance (and the Seller shall not be obligated to indemnify any Affected Person for any period in excess of 30 days prior to receipt of such notice).  A certificate as to such amounts shall be submitted to the Seller, the Agent and the applicable Purchaser Agent (if any) by such Affected




									
		9
	












Person and shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines and directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, shall in each case be deemed to have been introduced as of the date after the date hereof, thereby constituting a Regulatory Change hereunder, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.  
(b)If, due to Regulatory Change, there shall be any increase in the cost to any Affected Person of agreeing to purchase or purchasing, or maintaining the ownership of the related Participation(s) in respect of which Discount is computed by reference to the Benchmark, then, upon written demand by such Affected Person, the Seller shall immediately pay to the Agent, for the account of such Affected Person, from time to time as specified, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Affected Person for such increased costs; provided that within 30 days of an Affected Person’s knowledge of any such circumstance and intent to seek indemnification therefor such Affected Person shall notify the Seller in writing of the same and whether such Affected Person will request that the Seller indemnify it for such circumstance (and the Seller shall not be obligated to indemnify any Affected Person for any period in excess of 30 days prior to receipt of such notice).  A certificate as to such increased cost amounts and detailing the nature of or reasons for each increased cost amount shall be submitted to the Seller, the Agent and the applicable Purchaser Agent (if any), by such Affected Person and shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
Section 1.9.  Dilutions; Application of Payments.
(a)If on any day 
(i)the Outstanding Balance of any Pool Receivable is reduced or adjusted as a result of any discount, rebate or other adjustment made by the Originator, Seller or Servicer, or any setoff or dispute between the Seller, Originator or 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; or
(ii)any of the representations or warranties in paragraphs A.(g) or A.(o) 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; 
then any such deemed Collections shall be deposited by the Seller into the Liquidation Account on the first Business Day of the calendar week following deemed receipt thereof.
(b)Except as otherwise required by applicable law or the relevant Contract, all Collections received from an Obligor of any Receivable shall be applied in accordance with the Contract with such Obligor and the Credit and Collection Policy.  
(c)If and to the extent any Secured Party shall be required for any reason to pay over to an Obligor (or any trustee, receiver, custodian or similar official in any Insolvency Proceeding)




									
		10
	












any amount received by it hereunder, such amount shall be deemed not to have been so received but rather to have been retained by the Seller and, accordingly, such Secured Party 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.
Section 1.10.  Requirements of Law.  In the event that any Affected Person 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:
(i)does or shall subject such Affected Person to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any increase in the applicable Participation(s) or in the amount of 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 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 doing business or a political subdivision thereof);
(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 which are not otherwise included in the determination of the Benchmark 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 (x) to increase the cost to such Affected Person of acting as a Purchaser Agent or Agent or of agreeing to purchase or purchasing or maintaining the ownership of undivided ownership interests with regard to the applicable Participation or any Investment (or interests therein) in respect of which Discount is computed by reference to the Benchmark or the Base Rate or (y) to reduce any amount receivable hereunder (whether directly or indirectly) funded or maintained by reference to the Benchmark or the Base Rate, then, in any such case, upon written demand by such Affected Person the Seller shall pay the Agent, for the account of such Affected Person, any 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 certifying, in reasonably specific detail, the basis for, calculation of, and amount of such additional costs or reduced amount receivable shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error; provided, however, that no Affected Person shall be required to disclose any confidential or tax planning information in any such certificate.
Section 1.11.  [Reserved].
Section 1.12.  Additional and Replacement Purchasers, Increase in Maximum Amount.  (a)  Subject to Section 6.1, the Seller shall have the right, at any time and from time to time, with the 
									
		11
	












prior written consent of the Agent to add any entity as a Purchaser hereunder (which addition may increase the Maximum Amount if a Purchaser is added) or increase the Maximum Commitment of any existing Purchaser.  No increase in the Maximum Commitment of a Purchaser hereunder shall be effective unless, if the increasing Purchaser is a Note Issuer that requires confirmation by the Rating Agencies, such Note Issuer shall have received written confirmation by its related Rating Agencies that such action shall not cause the rating on the then outstanding Notes of such Note Issuer to be downgraded or withdrawn.  Each such addition of a new Purchaser hereunder shall be effected by delivery to the Seller, the Servicer, the Agent and each Purchaser Agent, of a Joinder Agreement executed by the Seller, the Servicer, the Agent, such new Purchaser and its Purchaser Agent (if different from the Purchaser) in substantially the form of Annex C hereto.  Upon receipt of a Joinder Agreement, if such Joinder Agreement has been fully executed and completed and is substantially in the form of Annex C, the Servicer shall, not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the effectiveness of such Joinder Agreement give prompt written notice to all Purchaser Agents, the Agent and Purchasers as to (i) the name, identity and address for receiving notices of the new Purchaser(s) and Purchaser Agent(s) becoming party hereto, (ii) the Maximum Commitment of such new Purchaser, (iii) the change in the Maximum Amount and (iv) the effective date of such Joinder Agreement.  Immediately upon the effectiveness of such Joinder Agreement, such additional Purchaser shall purchase, by wire transfer of immediately available funds its Participation.  Effective with the payment of such amounts, such new Purchaser and its Purchaser Agent designated in the applicable Joinder Agreement shall each become parties hereto.
(b)By executing and delivering a Joinder Agreement, each new Purchaser and Purchaser Agent confirms to and agrees with the Agent and each other Purchaser and Purchaser Agent party hereto as follows: (A) such new Purchaser has received a copy of this Agreement, and the Purchase and Sale Agreement, together with copies of such financial statements and other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Joinder Agreement; (B) such new Purchaser has made and will continue to make, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, any Purchaser Agent or any other Purchaser and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (C) such new Purchaser appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (D) such new Purchaser and its Purchaser Agent agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Purchaser or Purchaser Agent.
(c)In addition to the foregoing, in the event that any Purchaser or Purchaser Agent (i) does not consent to an amendment of clause (ii) of the definition of Termination Date to which the Seller and the Servicer have otherwise consented; or (ii) does not consent to any amendment or modification of this Agreement agreed to by the Seller, the Servicer and the Majority Purchasers but which requires the consent of such Purchaser, then, in any such event, the Seller shall have the right, with the prior written consent of the Agent, to require such Purchaser to assign its interests in its Participation and the Pool Receivables and all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to a replacement Purchaser acceptable to the Agent and the Seller.  Any such assignment shall be without recourse, representation or warranty of any kind on the part of the 


									
		12
	












assigning Purchaser, except that such assignment is free and clear of any Adverse Claims created by such Purchaser, and shall be consummated pursuant to documentation reasonably satisfactory to the assignor and assignee on not less than ten days’ prior written notice, at a purchase price equal to the sum of (w) the aggregate outstanding Investment of the Purchaser being so replaced; (x) all accrued and unpaid Discount on such Investment; (y) all accrued and unpaid Program Fees owed to or on behalf of such Purchaser; and (z) all other accrued and unpaid expenses, indemnities and other amounts owing under this Agreement to such Purchaser, including any Termination Fees caused by the above-described assignment.  Concurrently with any such assignment, the Seller, the Servicer, such replacement Purchaser and its Purchaser Agent (if different from the Purchaser) shall execute a Joinder Agreement to evidence the terms and conditions under which such replacement Purchaser has agreed to become a Purchaser hereunder.
Section 1.13.  Rates. The Agent does not warrant or accept responsibility for, and shall not have any liability (except as provided herein) with respect to (a) the continuation of, administration of, submission of, calculation of or any other matter related to the Base Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR or Term SOFR, or any component definition thereof or rates referred to in the definition thereof, or any alternative, successor or replacement rate thereto (including any Benchmark Replacement), including whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, or have the same volume or liquidity as, Base Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR, Term SOFR or any other Benchmark prior to its discontinuance or unavailability, or (b) the effect, implementation or composition of any Conforming Changes.  The Agent and its affiliates or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of Base Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR, Term SOFR, any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Seller.  The Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain Base Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR Term SOFR or any other Benchmark, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to the Seller, any Purchaser or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.
Section 1.14.  Inability to Determine Rates; Benchmark Replacement Setting; Illegality.
(a)Inability to Determine SOFR.  If, prior to the commencement of any Yield Period for any Participation determined by reference to the Benchmark:
(i)the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the “Adjusted Term SOFR”, as applicable, for such Yield Period, or 
(ii)the Agent shall have received notice from the Majority Purchasers that Adjusted Term SOFR for such Yield Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Purchasers 


									
		13
	












of making, funding or maintaining their Participations determined by reference to the Benchmark for such Yield Period,
then the Agent shall give written notice thereof (or telephonic notice, promptly confirmed in writing) to the Seller and to the Purchaser Agents as soon as practicable thereafter.  
Upon written notice thereof by the Agent to the Seller, any obligation of the Purchasers to make or maintain a Participation determined by reference to the Benchmark, and any right of the Seller to continue Participations determined by reference to the Benchmark or to convert Participations determined by reference to the Base Rate to Participations determined by reference to the Benchmark, shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Participations determined by reference to the Benchmark or affected Yield Periods) until the Agent revokes such notice.  Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Seller may revoke any pending request for a purchase of, conversion to or continuation of Participations determined by reference to the Benchmark (to the extent of the affected Participations determined by reference to the Benchmark or affected Yield Periods) or, failing that, the Seller will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Participation of or conversion to a Participations determined by reference to the Base Rate in the amount specified therein and (ii) any outstanding affected Participations determined by reference to the Benchmark will be deemed to have been converted into a Participation determined by reference to the Base Rate at the end of the applicable Yield Period.  Upon any such conversion, the Seller shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 1.8.  Subject to paragraphs (b) through (f) below, if the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Adjusted Term SOFR” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof on any given day, the interest rate on Participations determined by reference to the Base Rate until the Agent revokes such determination.
(b)Benchmark Replacement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (a) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Transaction Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (b) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Transaction Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Purchaser Agents without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document so long as the Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Purchasers comprising the Majority Purchasers.  
(c)Conforming Changes.  In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Agent will have the right to make Conforming 




									
		14
	












Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.
(d)Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations.  The Agent will promptly notify the Seller and the Purchaser Agents of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement.  The Agent will notify the Seller of (x) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 1.14(e) and (y) the commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period.  Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Agent or, if applicable, any Purchaser (or Purchaser Agent) pursuant to this Section 1.14, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 1.14.
(e)Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark.  At any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR Reference Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative, then the Agent may modify the definition of “Yield Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is not or will not be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Agent may modify the definition of “Yield Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.
(f)Benchmark Unavailability Period.  Upon the Seller’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Seller may revoke any pending request for a Participation determined by reference to the Benchmark of, conversion to or continuation of Participations determined by reference to the Benchmark to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Seller will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Participation of or conversion to Participations determined by reference to the Base Rate.  During a Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the Base Rate.








									
		15
	












(g)Illegality.  If any event referenced in Section 1.8 shall occur and shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Purchaser to perform any of its obligations hereunder, to make, maintain or fund any Participation determined by reference to the Benchmark or to determine or charge interest rates based upon SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR or Term SOFR and such Purchaser shall so notify the Agent, the Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Seller and the other Purchaser Agents, whereupon until such Purchaser notifies the Agent and the Seller that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligation of such Purchaser to make Participations determined by reference to the Benchmark, or to continue or convert outstanding Participations as or into Participations determined by reference to the Benchmark, shall be suspended.  In the case of the making of a Participation determined by reference to the Benchmark, such Purchaser’s Participation shall be made as a Participation determined by reference to the Base Rate as part of the same Participation for the same Yield Period and, if the affected Participation determined by reference to the Benchmark is then outstanding, such Participation shall be converted to a Participation determined by reference to the Base Rate either (i) on the last day of the then current Yield Period applicable to such Participation determined by reference to the Benchmark if such Purchaser may lawfully continue to maintain such Participation to such date or (ii) immediately if such Purchaser shall determine that it may not lawfully continue to maintain such Participation determined by reference to the Benchmark to such date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the affected Purchaser shall, prior to giving such notice to the Agent, use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office if such designation would avoid the need for giving such notice and if such designation would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Purchaser in the good faith exercise of its discretion.  Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Seller shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 1.8.

INDEMNIFICATION
Section 3.1.  Indemnities by the Seller.  Without limiting any other rights that the Agent, the Purchaser Agents, the Purchasers, the Backup Servicer or any of their respective Affiliates, employees, agents, successors, transferees or assigns (each, an “Indemnified Party”) may have hereunder or under applicable law, the Seller hereby agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Party from and against any and all claims, damages, expenses, losses and liabilities (including Attorney Costs) (all of the foregoing being collectively referred to as “Indemnified Amounts”) arising out of or resulting from this Agreement or other Transaction Documents (whether directly or indirectly) or the use of proceeds of purchases or reinvestments or the ownership of any Participation, or any interest therein, or in respect of any Receivable or any Contract regardless of whether any such Indemnified Amounts result from an Indemnified Party’s negligence or strict liability or other acts or omissions of an Indemnified Party, excluding, however, (a) Indemnified Amounts to the extent resulting from gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Indemnified Party, (b) recourse (except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement) for uncollectible Receivables to be written off consistent with the Credit and Collection Policy or (c) any overall net income taxes or franchise taxes imposed on such Indemnified Party by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Indemnified Party is organized or any political subdivision thereof.

The obligations of the Seller under this Section 3.1 are limited recourse obligations payable solely from the Collections, the Receivables and Related Security in accordance with the priority of payments set forth in Section 1.4.

ARTICLE IV.

ADMINISTRATION AND COLLECTIONS
Section 4.1.  Appointment of Servicer.  (a)  The servicing, administering and collection of the Pool Receivables shall be conducted by the Person so designated from time to time as Servicer in accordance with this Section 4.1.  Until the Majority Purchasers give notice to the Seller, the Agent and the Servicer (in accordance with the following sentence) of the designation of a new Servicer, AFC 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 Majority Purchasers may designate the Backup Servicer or any other Person (including the Agent) to succeed the Servicer, on the condition that any such Person so designated (other than the Backup Servicer, except to the extent specified in the Backup Servicing Agreement) shall agree in writing to perform the duties and obligations of the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof unless otherwise consented to by the Majority Purchasers.
(b)Upon the designation of a successor Servicer as set forth in Section 4.1(a) hereof, the Servicer agrees that it will terminate its activities as Servicer hereunder in a manner which the Agent determines will facilitate the transition of the performance of such activities to the new Servicer, and the Servicer shall cooperate with and assist such new Servicer.  Such cooperation shall include (without limitation) access to and transfer of all records and use by the new Servicer of all licenses, hardware or software necessary or desirable to collect the Pool Receivables and the Related Security.  Without limiting the foregoing, the Servicer agrees that, at any time following the occurrence of a Termination Event, the Servicer shall, at the request of the Agent (i) promptly identify all branch offices, loan processing offices or other locations at which the Pool Receivable Documents are then being held, (ii) allow the Agent or its designee full access to all such locations and all Pool Receivable Documents, (iii) promptly arrange, at the Servicer’s expense, the transfer of possession of all such Pool Receivable Documents to the Backup Servicer, any successor Servicer or other third-party custodian specified by the Agent and (iv) instruct the Servicer’s agents




									
		21
	












and any person with whom the Servicer or its agents have contracted to hold any such Pool Receivable Documents to provide full access to, and/or transfer possession of, any Pool Receivable Documents held by such agent or contractor.  The Servicer agrees to take no action which would impede or impair the ability of the Agent or its designees to gain access to the Pool Receivable Documents or to obtain possession thereof in accordance with the provisions hereof.  The parties hereto agree that the covenants contained in the foregoing sentence are reasonable and necessary for the protection of the legitimate interests of the Secured Parties in the Pool Receivables.  Accordingly, in addition to other remedies provided at law or equity, upon any breach by the Servicer of the covenants contained in the second preceding sentence, the Agent shall be entitled to seek specific performance and injunctive relief by and against the Servicer prohibiting any further breach of such covenants, without the necessity of proving irreparable injury or posting bond.
(c)The Servicer acknowledges that, in making its decision to execute and deliver this Agreement, the Purchaser Agents, the Agent and the Purchasers have relied on the Servicer’s agreement to act as Servicer hereunder.  Accordingly, the Servicer agrees that it will not voluntarily resign as Servicer.
(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 to the Secured Parties for the performance of the duties and obligations so delegated, (iii) the Secured Parties shall have the right to look solely to the Servicer for such performance and (iv) the terms of any agreement with any Sub-Servicer shall provide that the Majority Purchasers may terminate such agreement upon the termination of the Servicer hereunder in accordance with Section 4.1(a) above by giving notice of its desire to terminate such agreement to the Servicer (and the Servicer shall provide appropriate notice to such Sub-Servicer); provided further, no such delegation shall be effective without the prior written consent of the Majority Purchasers.
Section 4.2.  Duties of Servicer; Relationship to Backup Servicing Agreement.  (a)  The Servicer shall take or cause to be taken all such action as may be necessary or advisable to collect each Pool Receivable from time to time, all in accordance with this Agreement, accepted industry standards and all applicable laws, rules and regulations, with reasonable care and diligence, and in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy.  Servicer may sue to collect upon Pool Receivables or enforce or recover Related Security, in its own name, if possible.  If Servicer elects to commence a legal proceeding to collect a Pool Receivable or enforce or recover Related Security, the act of commencement shall be deemed to be an automatic assignment of the Pool Receivable or Seller’s and Purchasers’ rights in, to and under the Related Security to Servicer, for purposes of collection only. The Servicer shall set aside for the accounts of the Seller, the Backup Servicer and the Purchasers the amount of the Collections to which each is entitled in accordance with Section 1.4.  The Seller shall deliver to the Servicer and the Servicer shall hold for the benefit of the Secured Parties in accordance with their respective interests, all records and documents (including without limitation computer tapes or disks) with respect to each Pool Receivable and all Pool Receivable Documents.  During such period as a Backup Servicer is required to be maintained hereunder, the Servicer agrees to provide the Backup Servicer with an electronic 
									
		22
	












(scanned) copy of each Contract related to a Pool Receivable and with monthly updates thereafter upon receipt of which the Backup Servicer shall perform a reconciliation of the Receivables data and recalculate the Servicer Report.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Agent may direct the Servicer 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 a Termination Event has occurred.  AFC is hereby appointed the custodian of the Pool Receivable Documents for the benefit of the Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties; provided, however, that such appointment may be terminated pursuant to the terms hereof.  AFC, or an affiliate on its behalf, will maintain fidelity and forgery insurance and adequate insurance to replace all Pool Receivable Documents due to casualty loss or theft of such documents.  In performing its duties as servicer and custodian, AFC shall act with reasonable care, using that degree of skill and attention that AFC exercises with respect to the files relating to all comparable contracts that AFC owns or services for itself or others.  AFC shall (i) maintain the Pool Receivable Documents in such a manner as shall enable the Agent and the Purchaser Agents to verify the accuracy of AFC’s recordkeeping; and (ii) promptly report to the Agent and the Purchaser Agents any failure on its part or the part of its agents to hold the Pool Receivable Documents and promptly take appropriate action to remedy any such failure.  Upon termination of AFC’s appointment as custodian hereunder and the delivery of the Pool Receivable Documents to the successor custodian, the successor custodian shall review such documents to determine whether it is missing any documents, and AFC shall cooperate with the successor custodian and use its best efforts to assist the successor custodian to obtain the missing documents. AFC shall maintain continuous custody of the Pool Receivable Documents in secure facilities in accordance with customary standards for such custody.  
(b)In the event the Backup Servicer becomes the successor Servicer hereunder, any applicable terms and conditions of the Backup Servicing Agreement relating to its performance as successor Servicer shall be deemed to be incorporated herein, and the obligations and liabilities of the successor Servicer (as such obligations and liabilities apply to the Backup Servicer acting in such capacity) shall be deemed to be modified in accordance with the provisions thereof.  To the extent that any conflict exists between the terms of this Agreement and the Backup Servicing Agreement, the terms of the Backup Servicing Agreement shall control.
(c)The Servicer’s obligations hereunder shall terminate on the Final Payout Date.  After such termination, the Servicer shall promptly deliver to the Seller all books, records and related materials that the Seller previously provided to the Servicer in connection with this Agreement.
(d)During such period as a Backup Servicer is required to be maintained hereunder, the Servicer shall provide to the Backup Servicer and the Agent and each Purchaser Agent (if requested) all such information (by the times and in the form) specified to be delivered by the Servicer under the Backup Servicing Agreement.
(e)Following the occurrence and during the continuation of a Termination Event, an Enhancement Build Trigger or a Level One Trigger, the Servicer shall provide to the  Agent and each Purchaser Agent (in each case, if requested) on a daily basis a Portfolio Certificate (including information with respect to all Collections received and all Receivables acquired by the Seller).
									
		23
	












Section 4.3.  Deposit Accounts; Establishment and Use of Certain Accounts.
(i)Deposit Accounts.  On or prior to the date hereof, the Servicer agrees to transfer ownership and control of each Deposit Account to the Seller.  Seller has granted a valid security interest in each Deposit Account to the Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) pursuant to Section 1.2(d) and shall take all actions reasonably requested by the Agent to cause the security interest to be perfected under the applicable UCC.
(ii)Cash Reserve Account.  The Agent has established and will maintain in existence the Cash Reserve Account.  The Cash Reserve Account shall be used to hold the Cash Reserve and for such other purposes described in the Transaction Documents.
(iii)Liquidation Account.  The Agent has established and will maintain in existence the Liquidation Account.  The Liquidation Account shall be used to receive Collections from the Deposit Accounts pursuant to Section 1.4(b) and to hold amounts set aside for the Purchasers, the Backup Servicer and (if the Servicer is not AFC or an Affiliate of AFC) the Servicer out of the Collections of Pool Receivables prior to the applicable Settlement Dates and for such other purposes described in the Transaction Documents.  No funds other than those transferred in accordance with Section 1.4 shall be intentionally transferred into the Liquidation Account.
(iv)Permitted Investments.  Any amounts in the Liquidation Account or the Cash Reserve Account, as the case may be, may be invested by the Liquidation Account Bank or the Cash Reserve Account Bank, respectively, prior to the occurrence of a Termination Event at the Servicer’s direction and following the occurrence of a Termination Event at the Agent’s direction, in Permitted Investments, so long as the Agent’s interest (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) in such Permitted Investments is perfected in a manner satisfactory to the Agent and such Permitted Investments are subject to no Adverse Claims other than those of the Agent provided hereunder.
(v)Control of Accounts.  The Agent may (with written notice to the Purchaser Agents) and shall (at the direction of the Majority Purchasers) following any Termination Event (or an Unmatured Termination Event of the type described in paragraph (g) of Exhibit V) at any time give notice to any Deposit Bank that the Agent is exercising its rights under the applicable Deposit Account Agreement to do any or all of the following:  (i) to have the exclusive ownership and control of such Deposit Account transferred to the Agent (or such other party designated by the Majority Purchasers) and to exercise exclusive dominion and control over the funds deposited therein and (ii) to take any or all other actions permitted under the applicable Deposit Account Agreement.  The Seller hereby agrees that if the Agent (or such other party designated by the Majority Purchasers) at any time takes any action set forth in the preceding sentence, the Agent (or such other party designated by the Majority Purchasers) shall have exclusive control of the proceeds (including Collections) of all Pool Receivables and the Seller hereby further agrees to take any other action that the Majority Purchasers may reasonably request to transfer such control.  Any proceeds of Pool Receivables received by the Seller, the Servicer or AFC (as Servicer or otherwise), thereafter shall be sent immediately to an account designated by the Majority Purchasers and held by the Agent (or such other party designated by the Majority Purchasers) for the benefit of the Secured Parties.




									
		24
	












(vi)Location of Liquidation Account and Cash Reserve Account.  If at any time BMO Harris Bank is rated below A-1 by S&P or P-1 by Moody’s, the Agent shall promptly establish a new Liquidation Account and a new Cash Reserve Account at a financial institution which is rated at least A-1  by S&P and P-1 by Moody’s and transfer all amounts on deposit in such accounts at BMO Harris Bank to such new accounts at such financial institution, until such time as BMO Harris Bank is rated at least A-1 by S&P and P-1 by Moody’s.
Section 4.4.  Enforcement Rights.  (a)  At any time following the occurrence of a Termination Event:
(i)the Majority Purchasers may (with the consent of the Agent) direct the Obligors that payment of all amounts payable under any Pool Receivable be made directly to the Backup Servicer or such other party designated by the Majority Purchasers, in each case, for the benefit of the Secured Parties;
(ii)the Majority Purchasers may with the consent of the Agent instruct the Seller or the Servicer to give notice of the Agent’s interest (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) in Pool Receivables to each Obligor, which notice shall direct that payments be made directly to the Backup Servicer or such other party designated by the Majority Purchasers (for the benefit of the Secured Parties), and upon such instruction from the Majority Purchasers, the Seller or the Servicer, as applicable, shall give such notice at the expense of the Seller; provided, that if the Seller or the Servicer fails to so notify each Obligor, the Agent or its designee may so notify the Obligors; and
(iii)the Majority Purchasers may with the consent of the Agent request the Seller or the Servicer to, and upon such request the Seller or the Servicer, as applicable, shall, (A) assemble all of the records necessary or desirable to collect the Pool Receivables and the Related Security and all Pool Receivable Documents, and transfer or license to any new 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 Backup Servicer or other third-party custodian specified by, and at a place selected by, the Agent and (B) segregate all cash, checks and other instruments received by it from time to time constituting Collections with respect to the Pool Receivables in a manner acceptable to the Agent and, promptly upon receipt, remit all such cash, checks and instruments, duly endorsed or with duly executed instruments of transfer, to the Agent or the Backup Servicer (or such other party designated by the Majority Purchasers) (for the benefit of the Secured Parties).
(b)The Seller hereby authorizes the Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties), and irrevocably appoints the Agent (acting on behalf of the Secured Parties) 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 Agent, to collect any and all amounts or portions thereof due under any and all Pool Receivables or Related Security, including, without limitation, endorsing the name of the Seller on checks and other instruments representing Collections and enforcing such Pool Receivables, Related Security and the related Contracts.  The Agent shall only exercise the powers conferred by this subsection (b) after the occurrence of a Termination Event.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this subsection (b), 
									
		25
	












none of the powers conferred upon such attorney-in-fact pursuant to the immediately 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.  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 any Secured Party of its rights hereunder shall not relieve the Seller from such obligations and (ii) pay when due any taxes, including, without limitation, any sales taxes payable in connection with the Pool Receivables and their creation and satisfaction.  The Agent, the Purchaser Agents, the Purchasers, the Backup Servicer and any successor Servicer shall not have any obligation or liability with respect to any Pool Receivable, any Related Security or any related Contract, nor shall any of them be obligated to perform any of the obligations of the Seller or AFC under any of the foregoing.
Section 4.6.  Servicing Fee.  The Servicer shall be paid a monthly fee in arrears, through distributions contemplated by Section 1.4, equal to (a) at any time AFC or an Affiliate of AFC is the Servicer, [**], (b) at any time the Backup Servicer has become the Servicer hereunder, [**], and (c) at any time a Person other than AFC, an Affiliate of AFC or the Backup Servicer is the Servicer, the Unaffiliated Servicing Fees or such other amount as the Agent and such successor Servicer shall agree.  The Servicing Fee shall not be payable to the extent funds are not available to pay the Servicing Fee pursuant to Section 1.4.
Section 4.7.  Specified Ineligible Receivables.  On or prior to the initial date of purchase of a Receivable under the Purchase and Sale Agreement, the Servicer (so long as the Originator is the Servicer) may designate such Receivable as a “Specified Ineligible Receivable” (which designation may take the form of a specification that a certain class or category of Receivables to be transferred from the Originator to the Seller after such designation will be treated as “Specified Ineligible Receivables”).  In addition, the Servicer (so long as the Originator is the Servicer) may, on behalf of the Seller, (i) designate an existing Receivable then owned by the Seller as a “Specified Ineligible Receivable” or (ii) designate an existing Specified Ineligible Receivable then owned by the Seller as a Receivable (i.e., no longer a “Specified Ineligible Receivable”), in each of cases (i) and (ii) with the prior written consent of the Majority Purchasers.  For the avoidance of doubt, any Receivable which was treated as an Eligible Receivable hereunder at any time may not be treated as a “Specified Ineligible Receivable” without the prior written consent of the Majority Purchasers.  The Servicer (so long as the Originator is the Servicer) shall identify the aggregate Outstanding Balance of all such “Specified Ineligible Receivables” on the Servicer Report.  To the extent the Servicer has from time to time identified a Receivable as a “Specified Ineligible Receivable” in accordance with this Section, for so long as such Receivable is a Specified Ineligible Receivable, (i) such Receivable shall not be included as an Eligible Receivable by the Seller or the Servicer hereunder, (ii) such Receivable shall not be included in any calculations of the Delinquency Ratio or the Default Ratio or other Pool Receivables information (other than a statement of the aggregate Outstanding Balance of such Specified Ineligible Receivables) hereunder and (iii) such Receivable shall not be considered a Receivable for purposes of clause (o) of Exhibit V hereof.

Such resignation shall not become effective until a successor Agent is appointed by the Majority Purchasers and has accepted such appointment.

Section 6.1.  Amendments, Etc.  No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by the Seller or Servicer therefrom shall be effective unless in writing signed by the Majority Purchasers.  No amendment of any provisions of this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing signed by each Purchaser Agent, the Agent, the Seller and the Servicer; provided, further, that other than an amendment to extend the Termination Date, no amendment shall be effective unless (i) each Purchaser (or the applicable Purchaser Agent on its behalf) shall have received written confirmation by any Rating Agency rating the Agreement that such amendment 
									
		30
	












shall not cause their rating to be downgraded or withdrawn, and (ii) each Note Issuer that is a Purchaser (or the applicable Purchaser Agent on its behalf), if required, shall have received written confirmation by the Rating Agencies that such amendment shall not cause the rating on the then outstanding Notes of such Note Issuer to be downgraded or withdrawn. Any such amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.  No failure on the part of the Agent, any Purchaser, or any Purchaser Agent 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.
Section 6.2.  Notices, Etc.  All notices and other communications hereunder shall, unless otherwise stated herein, be in writing (which shall include facsimile and electronic mail communication) and sent or delivered, to each party hereto, at its address set forth under its name on the signature pages hereof or, in the case of the Backup Servicer, at its notice address designated in the Backup Servicing Agreement or, in any case, 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 or electronic mail shall be effective when sent (and shall, unless such delivery is waived by the recipient by electronic mail or other means, 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.  Assignability.  (a)  This Agreement and any Purchaser’s rights and obligations herein (including ownership of its Participation) shall be assignable, in whole or in part, by such Purchaser and its successors and assigns with the prior written consent of the Seller and the Agent; provided, however, that such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; and provided, further, that no such consent shall be required if the assignment is made to (i) any Affiliate of such Purchaser, (ii) any Liquidity Bank (or any Person who upon such assignment would be a Liquidity Bank) of such Purchaser and from any such Liquidity Bank to a Purchaser hereunder, (iii) any Program Support Provider (or any Person who upon such assignment would be a Program Support Provider) of such Purchaser or (iv) to any other Purchaser in such Purchaser’s Purchaser Group.  Each assignor may, in connection with the assignment, disclose to the applicable assignee any information relating to the Seller or the Pool Receivables furnished to such assignor by or on behalf of the Seller, the Agent, the Purchasers or the Purchaser Agents.
Upon the assignment by a Purchaser in accordance with this Section 6.3, the assignee receiving such assignment shall have all of the rights of such Purchaser with respect to the Transaction Documents and the Investment (or such portion thereof as has been assigned).
(b)Each Purchaser may at any time grant to one or more banks or other institutions (each a “Liquidity Bank”) party to a Liquidity Agreement or to any other Program Support Provider participating interests or security interests in its Participation.  In the event of any such grant by a Purchaser of a participating interest to a Liquidity Bank or other Program Support Provider, the Purchaser shall remain responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder.  The Seller agrees that each Liquidity Bank or other Program Support Provider shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 1.8 and 1.10.
(c)This Agreement and the rights and obligations of any Purchaser Agent hereunder shall be assignable, in whole or in part, by such Purchaser Agent and its successors and assigns; 
									
		31
	












provided, however, that if such assignment is to any Person that is not an Affiliate of the assigning Purchaser Agent, such Purchaser Agent must receive the prior written consent (which consent in each case shall not be unreasonably withheld) of the Agent and the Seller.
(d)Except as provided in Section 4.1(d), neither the Seller nor the Servicer may assign its rights or delegate its obligations hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Majority Purchasers.
(e)Without limiting any other rights that may be available under applicable law, the rights of any Purchaser may be enforced by it directly or by its Purchaser Agent or its other agents.
(f)[**]
(g)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6.3, (i) any Purchaser may at any time pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its rights (including, without  limitation, any interests in its Participation and any rights to payment of Investment and Discount) under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Purchaser to a Federal Reserve Bank and (ii) any Note Issuer may at any time pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its rights (including, without limitation, any Participation and any rights to payment of Investment and Discount) under this Agreement to a collateral trustee in order to comply with Rule 3a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (as amended), in each case without notice to or consent of any Seller Party, the Agent, any Purchaser Agent or any Purchaser; provided that no such pledge or grant of a security interest shall release a Purchaser from any of its obligations hereunder, or substitute any such pledgee or grantee for such Purchaser as a party hereto.
Section 6.4.  Costs, Expenses and Taxes.  (a)  In addition to the rights of indemnification granted under Section 3.1 hereof, the Seller agrees to pay on demand all reasonable costs and expenses in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery and administration (including periodic auditing of Pool Receivables) of this Agreement, any Liquidity Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the other documents and agreements to be delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, including all reasonable costs and expenses relating to the amending, amending and restating, modifying or supplementing any such documents or agreements and the waiving of any provisions thereof, and including in all cases, without limitation, Rating Agency fees (including in connection with the execution hereof and any amendments hereto) and Attorney Costs for the Agent, each Purchaser, each Program Support Provider, each Purchaser Agent, the Backup Servicer, any successor Servicer and their respective Affiliates and agents with respect thereto and with respect to advising the Agent, the Purchaser, each Program Support Provider and their respective Affiliates and agents as to their rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, and all reasonable costs and expenses, if any (including Attorney Costs), of each Purchaser Agent, each Purchaser, each Program Support Provider, the Agent, the Backup Servicer, any successor Servicer and their respective Affiliates and agents in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.
(b)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

(a)  Each of the Seller, the Servicer, the Agent, the Purchaser Agents, the Purchasers, the Backup Servicer, each assignee of a Participation or any interest therein, and each Person which enters into a commitment to purchase or does purchase a Participation or interests therein hereby covenants and agrees that it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, any Note Issuer 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 any such Note Issuer is paid in full.
(b)Notwithstanding any provisions contained in this Agreement to the contrary, no Note Issuer shall, nor shall it be obligated to, pay any amount pursuant to this Agreement unless such Note Issuer has excess cash flow from operations or has received funds with respect to such obligation which may be used to make such payment and which funds or excess cash flow are not required to repay its Notes when due.  Any amounts which a Note Issuer does not pay pursuant to the operation of the preceding sentence shall not constitute a claim against such Note Issuer for any such insufficiency unless and until the condition described in the preceding sentence is satisfied.  Nothing in this subsection (b) shall be construed to forgive or cancel any obligations of such Note Issuer hereunder.
(c)Each of the Servicer, the Agent, the Purchaser Agents, the Purchasers, the Backup Servicer, each assignee of a Participation or any interest therein, and each Person which enters into a commitment to purchase or does purchase a Participation or interests therein hereby covenants and agrees that it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, the Seller 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 all amounts payable by the Seller hereunder are paid in full.
(d)Notwithstanding any provisions contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Seller shall not be obligated to pay any amount pursuant to this Agreement unless the Seller has property or other assets which may be used to make such payment.  Any amounts which the Seller does not pay pursuant to the operation of the preceding sentence shall not constitute a claim against the Seller for any such insufficiency unless and until the conditions described in the preceding sentence are satisfied.  Nothing in this subsection (d) shall be construed to forgive or cancel any obligations of the Seller hereunder.
Section 6.6.  Confidentiality.  Unless otherwise required by applicable law or already known by the general public or the third party to which it is disclosed, the Seller agrees to maintain the confidentiality of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (and all drafts thereof) in communications with third parties and otherwise; provided that this Agreement may be disclosed to (a) third parties to the extent such disclosure is made pursuant to a written agreement of confidentiality in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and (b) the Seller’s legal counsel and auditors if they agree to hold it confidential.

Section 6.7.  GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION.  (a)  THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF INDIANA (WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS THEREOF), AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT THE PERFECTION (OR THE EFFECT OF PERFECTION OR NON-PERFECTION) OF THE INTERESTS OF THE PURCHASERS IN THE POOL RECEIVABLES AND THE OTHER ITEMS DESCRIBED IN SECTION 1.2(d) IS GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF A JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF INDIANA.
(b)ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS COOK COUNTY AND CHICAGO OR NEW YORK NEW YORK COUNTY, NEW YORK CITY OR OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS OR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH OF THE PURCHASERS, THE SELLER, THE SERVICER, THE PURCHASER AGENTS AND THE AGENT CONSENTS, FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THOSE COURTS.  EACH OF THE PURCHASERS, THE SELLER, THE SERVICER, THE PURCHASER AGENTS AND THE AGENT 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, WHICH 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.

This Agreement shall be valid, binding, and enforceable against a party when executed and delivered by an authorized individual on behalf of the party by means of (i) an original manual signature; (ii) a faxed, scanned, or photocopied manual signature; or (iii) any other electronic signature permitted by the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, state enactments of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, and/or any other relevant electronic signatures law, including any relevant provisions of the UCC (collectively, “Signature Law”), in each case to the extent applicable. Each faxed, scanned, or photocopied manual signature, or other electronic signature, shall for all purposes have the same validity, legal effect, and admissibility in evidence as an original manual signature. Each party hereto shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon, and shall have no liability with respect to, any faxed, scanned, or photocopied manual signature, or other electronic signature, of any other party and shall have no duty to investigate, confirm or otherwise verify the validity or authenticity thereof.

Section 6.13.  Headings.  The captions and headings of this Agreement and in any Exhibit hereto are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the interpretation hereof or thereof.
Section 6.13.  Liabilities of the Purchasers.  The obligations of each Purchaser under this Agreement are solely the corporate obligations of such Purchaser.  No recourse shall be had for any obligation or claim arising out of or based upon this Agreement against any stockholder, employee, officer, director or incorporator of any Purchaser; and provided, however, that this Section 6.13 shall not relieve any such Person of any liability it might otherwise have for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.  The agreements provided in this Section 6.13 shall survive termination of this Agreement.
Section 6.14.  Tax Treatment.  The Participations shall be treated and reported as indebtedness of the Seller for all income and franchise tax purposes.  The Seller, the Servicer, the Agent and Fairway and each Purchaser, by its agreement to make a purchase (and to make reinvestments, if applicable) with regard to its Participation, agrees, and shall cause its assignees to agree, to treat and report the Participations as indebtedness of the Seller for all income and franchise tax purposes.

(m)    Separate Corporate Existence. Each of the Seller and AFC hereby acknowledges that the Purchasers, the Agent and the Purchaser Agents are entering into the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and the Transaction Documents in reliance upon the Seller’s identity as a legal entity separate from AFC.  Therefore, from and after the date hereof, the Seller and AFC shall take all reasonable steps to continue the Seller’s identity as a separate legal entity and to make it apparent to third Persons that the Seller is an entity with assets and liabilities distinct from those of AFC, the Originator and any other Person, and is not a division of AFC or any other Person.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and in addition to and consistent with the covenant set forth in paragraph (a) of this Exhibit IV, the Seller and AFC shall take such actions as shall be required in order that:
(i)  The Seller will be a limited purpose corporation whose primary activities are restricted in its articles of incorporation to purchasing Receivables from the Originator, entering into agreements for the servicing of such Receivables, selling undivided interests in such Receivables and conducting such other activities as it deems necessary or appropriate to carry out its primary activities;
(ii)  Not less than one member of Seller’s Board of Directors (the “Independent Directors”) shall be individuals who are not direct, indirect or beneficial stockholders, officers, directors, employees, affiliates, associates, customers or suppliers of the Originator or any of its Affiliates.  The Seller’s Board of Directors shall not approve, or take any other action to cause the commencement of a voluntary case or other proceeding with respect to the Seller under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, debt arrangement, dissolution or other similar law, or the appointment of or taking possession by, a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, or other similar official for the Seller unless in each case the Independent Directors shall approve the taking of such action in writing prior to the taking of such action.  The Independent Directors’ fiduciary duty shall be to the Seller (and creditors) and not to the Seller’s shareholders in respect of any decision of the type described in the preceding sentence.  In the event an Independent Director resigns or otherwise ceases to be a director of the Seller, there shall be selected a replacement Independent Director who shall not be an individual within the proscriptions of the first sentence of this clause (ii) or any individual who has any other type of 


									
		EX-IV-6
	












professional relationship with the Originator or any of its Affiliates or any management personnel of any such Person or Affiliate and who shall be (x) a tenured professor at a business or law school, (y) a retired judge or (z) an established independent member of the business community, having a sound reputation and experience relative to the duties to be performed by such individual as an Independent Director;
(iii)  No Independent Director shall at any time serve as a trustee in bankruptcy for Originator or any Affiliate thereof;
(iv)  Any employee, consultant or agent of the Seller will be compensated from the Seller’s own bank accounts for services provided to the Seller except as provided herein in respect of the Servicing Fee.  The Seller will engage no agents other than a Servicer for the Receivables, which Servicer will be fully compensated for its services to the Seller by payment of the Servicing Fee;
(v)  The Seller will contract with the Servicer to perform for the Seller all operations required on a daily basis to service its Receivables.  The Seller will pay the Servicer a monthly fee based on the level of Receivables being managed by the Servicer.  The Seller will not incur any material indirect or overhead expenses for items shared between the Seller and the Originator or any Affiliate thereof which are not reflected in the Servicing Fee.  To the extent, if any, that the Seller and the Originator or any Affiliate thereof share items of expenses not reflected in the Servicing Fee, such as legal, auditing and other professional services, such expenses will be allocated to the extent practical on the basis of actual use or the value of services rendered, and otherwise on a basis reasonably related to the actual use or the value of services rendered, it being understood that Originator shall pay all expenses relating to the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, legal and other fees;
(vi)  The Seller’s operating expenses will not be paid by Originator or any Affiliate thereof unless the Seller shall have agreed in writing with such Person to reimburse such Person for any such payments;
(vii)  The Seller will have its own separate mailing address and stationery;
(viii)  The Seller’s books and records will be maintained separately from those of the Originator or any Affiliate thereof;
(ix)  Any financial statements of the Originator or KAR which are consolidated to include the Seller will contain detailed notes clearly stating that the Seller is a separate corporate entity and has sold ownership interests in the Seller’s accounts receivable;
(x)  The Seller’s assets will be maintained in a manner that facilitates their identification and segregation from those of the Originator and any Affiliate thereof;
(xi)  The Seller will strictly observe corporate formalities in its dealings with the Originator and any Affiliate thereof, and funds or other assets of the Seller will not be 
									
		EX-IV-7
	












commingled with those of the Originator or any Affiliate thereof.  The Seller shall not maintain joint bank accounts or other depository accounts to which the Originator or any Affiliate thereof (other than AFC in its capacity as Servicer) has independent access  and shall not pool any of the Seller’s funds at any time with any funds of the Originator or any Affiliate thereof;
(xii)  The Seller shall pay to the Originator the marginal increase (or, in the absence of such increase, the market amount of its portion) of the premium payable with respect to any insurance policy that covers the Seller and any Affiliate thereof, but the Seller shall not, directly or indirectly, be named or enter into an agreement to be named, as a direct or contingent beneficiary or loss payee, under any such insurance policy, with respect to any amounts payable due to occurrences or events related to the Originator or any Affiliate thereof (other than the Seller); and
(xiii)  The Seller will maintain arm’s length relationships with the Originator and any Affiliate thereof.  The Originator or any Affiliate thereof that renders or otherwise furnishes services to the Seller will be compensated by the Seller at market rates for such services.  Neither the Seller nor the Originator or any Affiliate thereof will be or will hold itself out to be responsible for the debts of the other or the decisions or actions respecting the daily business and affairs of the other.
(n)    Mergers, Acquisitions, Sales, etc.
(i)  The Seller shall not:
