hereinafter set forth; 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements herein contained, the
parties hereto agree that the Existing Agreement is amended and restated in its entirety as follows: 
 ARTICLE I. 
 THE ADVANCES 
 Section 1.1
Credit Facility. 
 (a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, from time to time prior to the Facility Termination Date
upon receipt of a copy of each Borrowing Notice from Borrower, each of the Co-Agents shall determine whether its Conduit will fund a Loan in an amount equal to its Group’s Percentage of the requested Advance specified in such Borrowing Notice.
In the event that a Conduit elects not to make any such Loan to Borrower, the applicable Co-Agent shall promptly notify Borrower and, unless Borrower cancels its Borrowing Notice, each of such Conduit’s Liquidity Banks severally agrees to make
its Pro Rata Share of its Group’s Percentage of such Loan to Borrower, on the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, provided that at no time may the aggregate principal amount of such Conduit’s and such Conduit’s
Liquidity Banks’ Loans outstanding exceed the lesser of (i) the aggregate amount of such Conduit’s Liquidity Banks’ Commitments, and (ii) such Conduit’s Group’s Percentage of the Borrowing Base (such lesser amount,
the “Conduit Allocation Limit”). 
 Each of the Advances, and all other Obligations, shall be secured by the Collateral as provided
in Article XIII. 
 (b) Borrower may, upon at least 10 Business Days’ notice to the Co-Agents, terminate in whole or reduce in part,
ratably among the Liquidity Banks in each Group in accordance with such Group’s Percentage, the unused portion of the Aggregate Commitment; 

  

 2 








 
provided that each partial reduction of the Aggregate Commitment shall be in an amount equal to $5,000,000 per Group (or a larger integral
multiple of $1,000,000 per Group if in excess thereof) and shall reduce the Commitments of the Liquidity Banks in each Group ratably in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares. 
 Section 1.2 Increases. Borrower shall provide the Co-Agents with at least one (1) Business Day’s prior notice in a form set forth
as Exhibit II hereto of each Advance, provided such notice is received by each Co-Agent no later than 12:00 noon on such Business Day (each, a “Borrowing Notice”). Each Borrowing Notice shall be subject to Section 6.2
hereof and, except as set forth below, shall be irrevocable and shall specify the requested increase in Aggregate Principal (which shall not be less than $1,000,000 per Group or a larger integral multiple of $100,000 per Group), the Borrowing Date
(which, in the case of any Advance after the initial Advance hereunder, shall only be on a Settlement Date), and, in the case of an Advance which Borrower has been notified by the applicable Co-Agent will be funded by the applicable Group’s
Liquidity Banks, the requested Interest Rate and Interest Period. If a Conduit declines to make its Group’s Percentage of a proposed Advance, Borrower may cancel the Borrowing Notice. On the date of each Advance, upon satisfaction of the
applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article VI, the applicable Conduit or the applicable Conduit’s Liquidity Banks, as applicable, shall make the proceeds of its Loan comprising such Group’s Percentage of such requested Advance
available to its Group’s Co-Agent in immediately available funds on the proposed date of borrowing. Upon receipt by a Co-Agent of such Loan proceeds, such Co-Agent shall deposit to the Facility Account, in immediately available funds, no later
than 12:00 noon (New York City time), an amount equal to (i) in the case of a Conduit, such Conduit’s Group’s Percentage of the principal amount of the requested Advance or (ii) in the case of a Conduit’s Liquidity Bank,
each such Liquidity Bank’s Pro Rata Share of such Liquidity Bank’s Group’s Percentage of the principal amount of the requested Advance. 
 Section 1.3 Decreases. Except as provided in Section 1.4, Borrower shall provide the Co-Agents with prior written notice in conformity with the Required Notice Period in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit XI (a “Reduction Notice”) delivered no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) of any proposed reduction of Aggregate Principal. Such Reduction Notice shall designate (i) the date (the “Proposed
Reduction Date”) upon which any such reduction of Aggregate Principal shall occur (which date shall give effect to the applicable Required Notice Period), and (ii) the amount of Aggregate Principal to be reduced which shall be
applied ratably to the Loans of the Conduits and the Liquidity Banks in accordance with the amount of principal (if any) owing to the Conduits (ratably, based on their Group’s Percentage of such reduction), on the one hand, and the amount of
principal (if any) owing to the Liquidity Banks (ratably, based on their respective Pro Rata Shares of their Group’s Percentage of such reduction), on the other hand (the “Aggregate Reduction”). Only one
(1) Reduction Notice with respect to any Proposed Reduction Date shall be outstanding at any time. 
 Section 1.4 Deemed
Collections; Borrowing Limit. 
 (a) If on any day: 
 (i) the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable is reduced by the Servicer as a result of any defective or rejected goods or services or any other adjustment (other than a Cash Discount) by any Originator or any
Affiliate thereof, or as a result of any tariff or other governmental or regulatory charge, or 
  

 3 








 (ii) the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable is reduced or canceled by the Servicer as a result of a
setoff in respect of any claim by the Obligor thereof (whether such claim arises out of the same or a related or an unrelated transaction), or 
 (iii) the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable is reduced by the Servicer on account of the obligation of any Originator or any Affiliate thereof to pay to the related Obligor any rebate or refund, or 
 (iv) the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable is less than the amount included in calculating the Net Pool Balance for purposes of any Monthly Report
(for any reason other than such Receivable becoming a Defaulted Receivable), or 
 (v) any of the representations or warranties of Borrower
set forth in Section 5.1(i), (j), (r), (s), (t) or (u) were not true when made with respect to any Receivable, 
 then, on such day, Borrower
shall be deemed to have received a Collection of such Receivable (A) in the case of clauses (i)-(iv) above, in the amount of such reduction or cancellation or the difference between the actual Outstanding Balance and the amount included in
calculating such Net Pool Balance, as applicable; and (B) in the case of clause (v) above, in the amount of the Outstanding Balance of such Receivable and, effective as of the date on which the next succeeding Monthly Report is required to
be delivered, the Borrowing Base shall be reduced by the amount of such Deemed Collection. 
 (b) Borrower shall ensure that the Aggregate
Principal at no time exceeds the Borrowing Limit. If, on any Business Day, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans from any Group exceeds such Group’s Conduit Allocation Limit, or the aggregate principal amount of the Loans
outstanding from such Group’s Conduit exceeds the Liquidity Commitments of such Group’s Liquidity Banks pursuant to such Group’s Liquidity Agreement divided by 102%, Borrower shall prepay such Loans by wire transfer to the applicable
Co-Agent received not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the next succeeding Settlement Date (it being understood that, in the case of a payment to or for the benefit of TPF, such noon deadline is required to comply with Section B(1)(a)
of the DTC Operational Arrangements and the DTC Notice (B#2078-07) dated September 11, 2007) of an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess, together with accrued and unpaid interest on the amount prepaid (as allocated by the applicable
Co-Agent), such that after giving effect to such payment the Aggregate Principal is less than or equal to the Borrowing Limit and the applicable Group’s Percentage of the Aggregate Principal is less than or equal to the applicable Group’s
Conduit Allocation Limit. 
 Section 1.5 Payment Requirements. All amounts to be paid or deposited by any Loan Party pursuant to
any provision of this Agreement shall be paid or deposited in accordance with the terms hereof no later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the day when due in immediately available funds (it being understood that, in the case of a payment to or
for the benefit of TPF, such noon deadline is required to comply with Section B(1)(a) of the DTC Operational Arrangements and the DTC Notice (B#2078-07) dated September 11, 2007), and if 

  

 4 








 
not received before 12:00 noon (New York time) shall be deemed to be received on the next succeeding Business Day. If such amounts are payable to a Lender
they shall be paid to the applicable Co-Agent Account, for the account of such Lender, until otherwise notified by such Co-Agent. All computations of CP Costs, Interest at the LIBO Rate, per annum fees calculated as part of any CP Costs,
per annum fees hereunder and per annum fees under the Fee Letter shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days elapsed. All computation of Interest at the Alternate Base Rate or Default Rate shall be
made on the basis of a year of 365 (or, when appropriate, 366) days for the actual number of days elapsed If any amount hereunder shall be payable on a day which is not a Business Day, such amount shall be payable on the next succeeding Business
Day. 
 Section 1.6 Ratable Loans; Funding Mechanics; Liquidity Fundings. 
 (a) Each Advance hereunder shall consist of one or more Loans made by the Conduits and/or the applicable Liquidity Banks. 
 (b) Each Lender funding any Loan shall wire transfer the principal amount of its Loan to its Co-Agent in immediately available funds not later than 12:00
noon (New York City time) on the applicable Borrowing Date and, subject to such Co-Agent’s receipt of such Loan proceeds, such Co-Agent shall wire transfer such funds to the account specified by Borrower in its Borrowing Request not later than
2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Borrowing Date. 
 (c) While it is the intent of each Conduit to fund each requested Advance through
the issuance of its respective Commercial Paper, the parties acknowledge that if any Conduit is unable, or determines that it is undesirable, to issue Commercial Paper to fund all or any portion of its Loans, or is unable to repay such Commercial
Paper upon the maturity thereof, such Conduit shall put all or any portion of its Loans to its Liquidity Banks at any time pursuant to its applicable Liquidity Agreement to finance or refinance the necessary portion of its Loans through a Liquidity
Funding to the extent available. The Liquidity Fundings may be Alternate Base Rate Loans or LIBO Rate Loans, or a combination thereof, selected by Borrower in accordance with Article IV and, in the case of LIBO Rate Loans, agreed to by the
applicable Co-Agent. Regardless of whether a Liquidity Funding constitutes the direct funding of a Loan, an assignment of a Loan made by a Conduit or the sale of one or more participations in a Loan made by a Conduit, each Liquidity Bank in such
Conduit’s Group participating in a Liquidity Funding shall have the rights of a “Lender” hereunder with the same force and effect as if it had directly made a Loan to Borrower in the amount of its Liquidity Funding. 
 (d) Nothing herein shall be deemed to commit any Conduit to make Loans. 
  


 5 








 ARTICLE II. 
 PAYMENTS AND COLLECTIONS 
 Section 2.1 Payments. Borrower hereby promises to pay:

 (a) the Aggregate Principal on and after the Facility Termination Date as and when Collections are received; 
 (b) the fees set forth in the Fee Letter on the dates specified therein; 
 (c) all accrued and unpaid Interest on the Alternate Base Rate Loans on each Settlement Date applicable thereto; 
 (d) all accrued and unpaid Interest on the LIBO Rate Loans on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto; 
 (e) all accrued and unpaid CP Costs on the CP Rate Loans on each Settlement Date; and 
 (f) all Broken Funding Costs and Indemnified Amounts upon demand. 
 Section 2.2 Collections Prior to Amortization; Demand for Payment of Certain Demand Advances. 
 (a) On each Settlement Date prior to the Amortization Date, the Servicer shall deposit to the applicable Co-Agent Account, for distribution to the
applicable Lenders, the applicable Percentage of a portion of the Collections received by it during the preceding Settlement Period (after deduction of its Servicing Fee) equal to the sum of the following amounts for application to the Obligations
in the order specified: 
 first, ratably to the payment of all invoiced accrued and unpaid CP Costs, Interest
and Broken Funding Costs (if any) that are then due and owing to the applicable Conduit, 
 second, ratably to
the payment of all accrued and unpaid fees under the Fee Letter (if any) that are then due and owing to the applicable Conduit or its Co-Agent, 
 third, if required under Section 1.3 or 1.4, to the ratable reduction of the applicable Conduit’s Percentage of the Aggregate Principal, and 
 fourth, for the ratable payment of all other unpaid Obligations, if any, that are then due and owing to such Conduit, its
Co-Agent or the related Indemnified Parties. 
 The balance, if any, shall be transferred to Borrower or otherwise in accordance with Borrower’s
instructions. Collections applied to the payment of Obligations shall be distributed in accordance with the aforementioned provisions, and, giving effect to each of the priorities set forth above in this Section 2.2(a), shall be shared ratably
(within each priority) among the applicable Co-Agent and the Lenders in its Group in accordance with the amount of such Obligations owing to each of them in respect of each such priority. 
  

 6 








 (b) If the Collections are insufficient to pay the Servicing Fee and the Obligations specified above on
any Settlement Date, Borrower shall make demand for repayment of any outstanding Demand Advances in an aggregate amount equal to the lesser of (i) the amount of such shortfall in Collections, and (ii) the aggregate outstanding principal
balance of the Demand Advances, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon. 
 Section 2.3 Demand for Payment of Demand
Advances on the Amortization Date; Collections Following Amortization. 
 (a) On the Amortization Date, Borrower hereby agrees to make
demand for payment of all Demand Advances, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, in an amount up to the outstanding balances of such Demand Advances, but not to exceed the then outstanding Obligations. 
 (b) On the Amortization Date and on each day thereafter, to the extent the Obligations have not otherwise been paid, the Servicer shall set aside and
hold in trust, for the Secured Parties, all Collections received on such day. On and after the Amortization Date, the Servicer shall, on each Settlement Date and on each other Business Day specified by the Administrative Agent at the direction of
any Co-Agent (after deduction of any accrued and unpaid Servicing Fee as of such date): (i) remit to the applicable Co-Agent Account the applicable Group’s Percentage of the amounts set aside pursuant to the preceding two sentences, and
(ii) apply such amounts to reduce the Obligations as follows: 
 first, to the reimbursement of the
applicable Conduit’s Group’s Percentage Share of the Administrative Agent’s reasonable costs incurred in connection with the collection of amounts due under this Agreement and enforcement of this Agreement, 
 second, ratably to the payment of all accrued and unpaid CP Costs, Interest and Broken Funding Costs (if any) that are then
due and owing to the applicable Conduit, 
 third, ratably to the payment of all accrued and unpaid fees under
the Fee Letter, 
 fourth, to the ratable reduction of such Conduit’s Percentage of the Aggregate
Principal, 
 fifth, for the ratable payment of all other unpaid Obligations that are then due and owing to such
Conduit, its Co-Agent or the related Indemnified Parties, and 
 sixth, after the Obligations have been
indefeasibly reduced to zero, to Borrower. 
 Collections applied to the payment of Obligations shall be distributed in accordance with the aforementioned
provisions, and, giving effect to each of the priorities set forth above in this Section 2.3(b), shall be shared ratably (within each priority) among the Agent and the Lenders in accordance with the amount of such Obligations owing to each of
them in respect of each such priority. 
  

 7 








 Section 2.4 Payment Rescission. No payment of any of the Obligations shall be considered paid
or applied hereunder to the extent that, at any time, all or any portion of such payment or application is rescinded by application of law or judicial authority, or must otherwise be returned or refunded for any reason. Borrower shall remain
obligated for the amount of any payment or application so rescinded, returned or refunded, and shall promptly pay to the applicable Co-Agent Account (in each case for application to the Person or Persons who suffered such rescission, return or
refund) the full amount thereof, plus Interest on such amount at the Default Rate from the date of any such rescission, return or refunding. 
 ARTICLE III. 
 COMMERCIAL PAPER FUNDING 
 Section 3.1 CP Costs. Borrower shall pay CP Costs with respect to the principal balance of the Loans from time to time outstanding. Each Loan of a Pool-Funded Conduit that is funded substantially with
Pooled Commercial Paper will accrue CP Costs each day on a pro rata basis, based upon the percentage share that the principal in respect of such Loan represents in relation to all assets held by such Pool-Funded Conduit and funded substantially with
related Pooled Commercial Paper on such day. 
 Section 3.2 Calculation of CP
Costs. As soon as practicable, and not later than the 3rd Business Day immediately preceding each Monthly Reporting Date, each Conduit shall
calculate the aggregate amount of CP Costs applicable to its CP Rate Loans for the Calculation Period then most recently ended and shall notify Borrower of such aggregate amount, which notice shall include a reasonably detailed description of such
calculations. 
 Section 3.3 CP Costs Payments. On each Settlement Date, Borrower shall pay to the Co-Agents (for the benefit of
their respective Conduit) an aggregate amount equal to all accrued and unpaid CP Costs in respect of the principal associated with all CP Rate Loans for the Calculation Period then most recently ended in accordance with Article II. 
 Section 3.4 Default Rate. From and after the occurrence of an Amortization Event, all Loans of the Conduits shall accrue Interest at the
Default Rate and shall cease to be CP Rate Loans. 
 Section 3.5 Selection of Tranche Periods. At any time while TPF is not a
Pool-Funded Conduit, Borrower may from time to time (after consultation with the TPF Agent) request specific maturity dates for the Related Commercial Paper. The TPF Agent shall accept such request unless it determines, in its sole discretion, that
the related tranche period is unavailable or commercially undesirable. 
  

 8 








 ARTICLE IV. 
 LIQUIDITY FUNDING 
 Section 4.1 Liquidity Funding. Prior to the occurrence of an
Amortization Event, the outstanding principal balance of each Liquidity Funding shall accrue interest for each day during its Interest Period at either the LIBO Rate or the Alternate Base Rate in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof.
Until Borrower gives notice to the applicable Co-Agent of another Interest Rate in accordance with Section 4.4, the initial Interest Rate for any Loan transferred to the Liquidity Banks by the applicable Conduit pursuant to the applicable
Liquidity Agreement shall be the Alternate Base Rate (unless the Default Rate is then applicable). If the applicable Liquidity Banks acquire by assignment from the applicable Conduit any Loan pursuant to the applicable Liquidity Agreement, each Loan
so assigned shall each be deemed to have an Interest Period commencing on the date of any such assignment. 
 Section 4.2 Interest
Payments. On the Settlement Date for each Liquidity Funding, Borrower shall pay to the applicable Co-Agent (for the benefit of the Liquidity Banks in its Group) an aggregate amount equal to the accrued and unpaid Interest for the entire Interest
Period of each such Liquidity Funding in accordance with Article II. 
 Section 4.3 Selection and Continuation of Interest
Periods. 
 (a) With consultation from the applicable Co-Agent, Borrower shall from time to time request Interest Periods for the
Liquidity Fundings, provided that if at any time any Liquidity Funding is outstanding, Borrower shall always request Interest Periods such that at least one Interest Period shall end on the date specified in clause (A) of the
definition of Settlement Date and provided further that the decision as to whether to utilize Liquidity Fundings, in lieu of all or any portion of a funding by a Conduit, shall reside with the applicable Co-Agent and not with Borrower.

 (b) Borrower or the applicable Co-Agent, upon notice to and consent by the other received at least three (3) Business Days prior to
the end of an Interest Period (the “Terminating Tranche”) for any Liquidity Funding, may, effective on the last day of the Terminating Tranche: (i) divide any such Liquidity Funding into multiple Liquidity Fundings,
(ii) combine any such Liquidity Funding with one or more other Liquidity Fundings that have a Terminating Tranche ending on the same day as such Terminating Tranche or (iii) combine any such Liquidity Funding with a new Liquidity Funding

Interest Rate, the initial Interest Rate for any Loan transferred to the applicable Liquidity Banks pursuant to the applicable Liquidity Agreement shall be
the Alternate Base Rate (unless the Default Rate is then applicable). 
 Section 4.5 Suspension of the LIBO Rate. 
 (a) If any Liquidity Bank notifies its applicable Co-Agent that it has reasonably determined that funding its Pro Rata Share of its Group’s
Percentage of the Liquidity Fundings at a LIBO Rate would violate any applicable law, rule, regulation, or directive of any governmental or regulatory authority, or that (i) deposits of a type and maturity appropriate to match fund its
Liquidity Funding at such LIBO Rate are not available or (ii) such LIBO Rate does not accurately reflect the cost of acquiring or maintaining a Liquidity Funding at such LIBO Rate, then such Co-Agent shall suspend the availability of such LIBO
Rate and require Borrower to select the Alternate Base Rate for any Liquidity Funding of such Liquidity Bank accruing Interest at such LIBO Rate. 
 (b) If less than all of the Liquidity Banks of any applicable Group give a notice to such Group’s Co-Agent pursuant to Section 4.5(a), each Liquidity Bank which gave such a notice shall be obliged, at the request of Borrower, the
applicable Conduit or the applicable Co-Agent, to assign all of its rights and obligations hereunder to (i) another Liquidity Bank in its Group or (ii) another funding entity nominated by Borrower or the applicable Co-Agent that is an
Eligible Assignee willing to participate in this Agreement through the Liquidity Termination Date in the place of such notifying Liquidity Bank; provided that (i) the notifying Liquidity Bank receives payment in full, pursuant to
an Assignment Agreement, of all Obligations owing to it (whether due or accrued), and (ii) the replacement Liquidity Bank otherwise satisfies the requirements of Section 12.1(b). 
 Section 4.6 Default Rate. From and after the occurrence of an Amortization Event, all Liquidity Fundings shall accrue Interest at the Default
Rate.

Agreement and this Agreement prior to delivery of the Collection Notices and the appointment of a successor Servicer. 
  

 12 








 (m) Material Adverse Effect. The initial Servicer and Borrower represent and warrant that since
December 31, 2002, no event has occurred that would have a Material Adverse Effect.

the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or any successor statute.

required under Section 7.1(b)(iii), granted its prior written consent. 
 (r) Payments to Applicable Originator. With respect to
each Receivable transferred to Borrower under the Receivables Sale Agreement, Borrower has given reasonably equivalent value to the applicable Originator in consideration therefor and such transfer was not made for or on account of an antecedent
debt. 
 (s) Enforceability of Receivables. Each Receivable represents a legal, valid and binding obligation of the related Obligor to
pay the Outstanding Balance of thereof 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). 
 (t) Eligible Receivables. Each Receivable included in the Net Pool Balance as an Eligible Receivable on the date of any Monthly Report was an

appropriate jurisdictions to perfect Borrower’s interest in such Receivables and the Related Security (to the extent such ownership interest therein can be perfected by filing UCC financing statements) and such other action to perfect, protect
or more fully evidence the interest of Borrower therein as any of the Agents may reasonably request, and (ii) establish and maintain, in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a valid and perfected first

 (i) Lenders’ Reliance. Borrower acknowledges that the Agents and the Lenders are relying upon Borrower’s identity as a legal entity that is separate from each Originator and its other Affiliates and
agrees to take all reasonable steps to maintain Borrower’s identity as a separate legal entity and to make it manifest to third parties that Borrower is an entity with assets and liabilities distinct from those of each Originator and its other
Affiliates (other than Borrower) and not just a division thereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and in addition to the other covenants set forth herein, (i) Borrower will conduct its affairs in strict compliance with Sections
7.06 and 7.07 of its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation as in effect on the date of the Existing Agreement and as thereafter amended with the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed), and (ii) Borrower will maintain at all times Net Worth greater than or equal to the Required Capital Amount and refrain from making any dividend, distribution, redemption of capital stock or payment of any subordinated indebtedness

 (j) Collections. Borrower will cause (1) all proceeds
from all Lock-Boxes to be directly deposited by a Collection Bank into a Collection Account and (2) each Lock-Box and Collection Account to be subject at all times, to a Collection Account Agreement that is in full force and effect;
provided, however, that Collection Account Agreements for the Lock-Boxes and Collection Accounts in Canada shall not be required to be in effect prior to October 27, 2008. If any new Lock-Boxes or Collection Accounts are
established after the date of this Agreement, in addition to compliance with the foregoing clause (2), Borrower will promptly provide the Administrative Agent with copies of an updated Exhibit IV to this Agreement and an updated Exhibit III to the
Receivables Sale Agreement (and upon such delivery both such Exhibits shall be deemed to be amended accordingly notwithstanding anything in Section 14.1 hereof or Section 7.1 of the Receivables Sale Agreement to the
contrary). In the event any payments relating to the Collateral are remitted directly to any Loan Party or any Affiliate of such Loan Party, such Loan Party will remit (or will cause all such payments to be remitted) 
  

 19 








 
directly to a Collection Bank and deposited into a Collection Account within two (2) Business Days following receipt thereof, and, at all times prior to
such remittance, such Loan Party will itself hold or, if applicable, will cause such payments to be held in trust for the exclusive benefit of the Agents and the Lenders. Borrower will maintain exclusive ownership, dominion and control (subject to
the terms of this Agreement) of each Lock-Box and Collection Account and shall not grant the right to take dominion and control of any Lock-Box or Collection Account at a future time or upon the occurrence of a future event to any Person, except to
the Administrative Agent as contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing herein shall be deemed to preclude Borrower from granting Servicer access to the Lock-Boxes and Collection Accounts for purposes consistent
with the terms of the Servicing Agreement and this Agreement prior to delivery of the Collection Notices. 
 (k) Taxes. To the extent
that such Loan Party’s tax returns are not lawfully consolidated with the returns of another Person, such Loan Party will file all tax returns and reports required by law to be filed by it and will promptly pay all taxes and governmental
charges at any time owing, except any such taxes which are not yet delinquent or are being diligently contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP shall have been set aside on its books.
Borrower will pay when due any taxes payable by it in connection with the Receivables, exclusive of taxes on or measured by income or gross receipts of any Agent or any Lender. 
 (l) Payment to Applicable Originator. With respect to any Receivable purchased by Borrower from any Originator, such sale shall be effected under,
and in accordance with the terms of, the Receivables Sale Agreement, including, without limitation, the terms relating to the amount and timing of payments to be made to such Originator in respect of the purchase price for such Receivable.

 Section 7.2 Negative Covenants of the Loan Parties. Until the Final Payout Date, each Loan Party hereby covenants, as to
itself, that: 
 (a) Name Change, Jurisdiction of Organization, Offices and Collection Records. Each of Borrower and Servicer will not
and will not authorize any Originator to, change its name or jurisdiction of organization or relocate any office where Collection Records are kept unless it shall have: (i) given the Agents at least thirty (30) days’ prior written
notice thereof and (ii) delivered to the Administrative Agent all financing statements, instruments and other documents requested by any Agent in connection with such change or relocation. 
 (b) Change in Payment Instructions to Obligors. Except as may be required by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.2(b), such Loan
Party will not, and will not authorize any Originator to, add or terminate any bank as a Collection Bank, or make any change in the instructions to Obligors regarding payments to be made to any Lock-Box or Collection Account, unless the Agents shall
have received, at least ten (10) days (or two (2) Business Days in the case of the Lock-Boxes and Collection Accounts referred to in the second proviso of this Section 7.2(b)) before the proposed effective date therefor,
(i) written notice of such addition, termination or change, and (ii) a Collection Account Agreement with respect to any new Lock-Box or Collection Account; provided, however, that the Servicer may make changes in instructions
to Obligors regarding payments if such new instructions require such Obligor to

 (c) Modifications to Contracts and Credit and Collection Policy. Such Loan Party will not, and will not cause or authorize any Originator to, make

 (d) Sales, Liens. Borrower will not sell, assign (by operation of law or otherwise) or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to,

than, in each case, the creation of a security interest therein in favor of the Administrative Agent as provided for herein), and Borrower will defend the right, title and interest of the Secured Parties in, to and under any of the foregoing
property, against all claims of third parties claiming through or under Borrower or any Originator.

 ARTICLE VIII. 
 ADMINISTRATION AND COLLECTION 
 Section 8.1 Designation of Servicer. 
 (a) The servicing, administration and collection of the Receivables shall be conducted by such Person (the “Servicer”) so
designated from time to time in accordance with this Section 8.1. Mohawk Servicing is hereby designated as, and shall have the rights and agrees to perform the duties and obligations of, the initial Servicer pursuant to the terms of the
Servicing Agreement, subject to the provisions of this Agreement. Borrower may, at any time upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Agents, designate any other direct or indirect Subsidiary of the Performance Guarantor as a successor
Servicer, provided the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied. The Co-Agents may at any time following the occurrence of an Amortization Event designate as Servicer any Person to succeed Mohawk Servicing or any successor Servicer provided
that the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied. To the extent that the Servicer’s obligations under this Agreement are inconsistent with its obligations under the Servicing Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall govern and
control. 
 (b) Mohawk Servicing may delegate, and Mohawk Servicing hereby advises the Lenders and the Agents that it has delegated,
to the Originators, as sub-servicers of the Servicer and to the Performance Guarantor, certain of its duties and responsibilities as Servicer hereunder in respect of the Receivables originated by such Originator. Without the prior written consent of
the Agents and the Required Liquidity Banks, Mohawk Servicing shall not be permitted to delegate any of its duties or responsibilities as Servicer to any Person other than (i) Borrower, (ii) the Originators, (iii) the Performance
Guarantor, and (iv) with respect to certain Defaulted Receivables, outside collection agencies in accordance with its customary practices. Neither Borrower nor any Originator shall be permitted to further delegate to any other Person any of the
duties or responsibilities of the Servicer delegated to it by Mohawk Servicing. If at any time the Co-Agents shall designate as Servicer any Person other than Mohawk Servicing, all duties and responsibilities theretofore delegated by Mohawk
Servicing to Borrower or the Originators may, at the discretion of the Co-Agents, be terminated forthwith on notice given by the Co-Agents to Mohawk Servicing and to Borrower and the Originators. 
 (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing subsection (b): Mohawk Servicing shall be and remain primarily liable for the full and prompt performance of all duties
and responsibilities of the Servicer pursuant to the Servicing Agreement and this Agreement. Mohawk Servicing, at all times that it is the Servicer, shall be responsible for providing any sub-servicer or other delegate of the Servicer with any
notice given to the Servicer under this Agreement. 
 Section 8.2 Certain Duties of Servicer. 
 (a) [intentionally deleted]. 
 (b) From and
after the date the Administrative Agent delivers to any Collection Bank a Collection Notice pursuant to Section 8.3, any Agent may request that the Servicer, and the Servicer thereupon promptly shall instruct all Obligors with respect to the


  

 22 








 
Receivables, to remit all payments thereon to a new depositary account specified by the Administrative Agent and, at all times thereafter, Borrower and the
Servicer shall not deposit or otherwise credit, and shall not permit any other Person to deposit or otherwise credit to such new depositary account any cash or payment item other than Collections. 
 (c) The Servicer shall administer the Collections in accordance with the procedures described herein and in Article II. The Servicer shall set aside and
hold in trust for the account of Borrower and the Lenders their respective shares of the Collections in accordance with Article II. The Servicer shall, upon the request of any Agent, segregate, in a manner acceptable to the Agents, all cash, checks
and other instruments received by it from time to time constituting Collections from the general funds of the Servicer or Borrower prior to the remittance thereof in accordance with Article II. If the Servicer shall be required to segregate
Collections pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Servicer shall segregate and deposit with a bank designated by the Administrative Agent such allocable share of Collections of Receivables set aside for the Lenders on the first Business Day
following receipt by the Servicer of such Collections, duly endorsed or with duly executed instruments of transfer. 
 (d) The Servicer may,
in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy, extend the maturity of any Receivable or adjust the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable as the Servicer determines to be appropriate to maximize Collections thereof; provided,
however, that such extension or adjustment shall not alter the status of such Receivable as a Delinquent Receivable or Defaulted Receivable or limit the rights of the Agents or the Lenders under this Agreement except to the extent payment is
received thereon from the Originator pursuant to the Receivables Sale Agreement. 
 (e) If demanded by the Administrative Agent following an
Amortization Event, the Servicer shall deliver or make available to the Administrative Agent all such Collection Records or duplicates thereof, at a place selected by the Administrative Agent, provided that such Collection Records will be available
for use by Borrower, the Performance Guarantor and their Affiliates for reasonable use in their respective businesses. The Servicer shall, as soon as practicable following receipt thereof, turn over to Borrower any cash collections or other cash
proceeds received not constituting Receivables. The Servicer shall, from time to time at the request of any Lender, furnish to the Lenders (promptly after any such request) a calculation of the amounts set aside for the Lenders pursuant to Article
II. 
 (f) Any payment by an Obligor in respect of any indebtedness owed by it to Originator or Borrower shall, except as otherwise specified
by such Obligor or otherwise required by contract or law and unless otherwise instructed by the Co-Agent, be applied as a Collection of any Receivable of such Obligor (starting with the oldest such Receivable) to the extent of any amounts then due
and payable thereunder before being applied to any other receivable or other obligation of such Obligor. 
 Section 8.3 Collection
Notices. The Administrative Agent is authorized at any time after the occurrence of an Amortization Event to date and to deliver to the Collection Banks the Collection Notices. Borrower hereby transfers to the Administrative Agent, for the
benefit of the Agents and the Lenders, exclusive ownership and control of each Lock-Box and Collection Account; provided, however, that Borrower shall retain the right to direct the disposition of funds 

  

 23 








 
from each Lock-Box and Collection Account until the Administrative Agent delivers the applicable Collection Notice in accordance with the first sentence of
this Section 8.3. In case any authorized signatory of Borrower whose signature appears on a Collection Account Agreement shall cease to have such authority before the delivery of such notice, such Collection Notice shall nevertheless be valid
as if such authority had remained in force. Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent, and agrees that the Administrative Agent shall be entitled (i) at any time after delivery of the Collection Notices, to endorse Borrower’s
name on checks and other instruments representing Collections, (ii) at any time after the occurrence of an Amortization Event, to enforce the Receivables and the Related Security, and (iii) at any time after the occurrence of an
Amortization Event, to take such action as shall be necessary or desirable to cause all cash, checks and other instruments constituting Collections of Receivables to come into the possession of the Administrative Agent rather than Borrower and
applied against the Obligations. 
 Section 8.4 Responsibilities of Borrower. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding,
the exercise by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Co-Agents and the Lenders of their rights hereunder shall not release the Servicer, any Originator or Borrower from any of their duties or obligations with respect to any Receivables or under
the related Contracts. Neither the Agents nor the Lenders shall have any obligation with respect to any Receivable or related Contracts to perform the obligations of Borrower that give rise to such Receivable. 
 Section 8.5 Monthly Reports. The Servicer shall prepare and forward, or cause to be prepared and forwarded, to the Administrative Agent
(i) on each Monthly Reporting Date, a Monthly Report and an electronic file of the data contained therein and (ii) at such times as the Co-Agents shall request, a listing by Obligor of all Receivables together with an aging of such
Receivables; provided, however, that the Co-Agents may, in the exercise of their reasonable credit judgment, request that the Servicer prepare and forward a report similar to the Monthly Report more frequently than set forth above.

 Section 8.6 Servicing Fee. As compensation for the Servicer’s servicing activities on their behalf, the Lenders hereby
agree to pay the Servicer the Servicing Fee, which fee shall be paid in arrears on each Settlement Date. The Servicing Fee specified in this Section 8.6 shall be in lieu of the fee payable to Mohawk Servicing pursuant to the Servicing
Agreement. 
 ARTICLE IX.

shall constitute an Amortization Event: 
 (a) Performance Guarantor or any Loan Party shall fail to make any payment or deposit required to
be made by it under this Agreement or the Performance Undertaking when due and, for any such payment or deposit which is not in respect of principal, such failure continues for three (3) consecutive Business Days. 
  

 24 








 (b) Any representation, warranty, certification or written statement made by Performance Guarantor or any
Loan Party in any Transaction Document to which it is a party or in any other document delivered pursuant thereto shall prove to have been materially incorrect when made or deemed made; provided that the materiality threshold in the
preceding clause shall not be applicable with respect to any representation or warranty which itself contains a materiality threshold. 
 (c)
Any Loan Party shall fail to perform or observe any covenant contained in Section 7.2 or 8.5 when due, or any covenant contained in Section 7.1(b) (other than Section 7.1(b)(vi)) within three (3) Business Days after the same is

Borrower in the performance of any term, provision or condition contained in any agreement under which any such Indebtedness was created or is governed, the effect of which is to permit the holder or holders of such Indebtedness to cause such
Indebtedness to become due prior to its stated maturity or results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness; or any such Indebtedness of Borrower shall be declared to be due and payable or required to be prepaid (other than by a regularly scheduled
payment) prior to the date of maturity thereof.

term, provision or condition contained in any agreement under which any Material Debt was created or is governed, the effect of which is to permit the holder or holders of such Material Debt to cause such Material Debt to become due prior to its
stated maturity or results in the acceleration of such Material Debt; or any Material Debt of Performance Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries other than Borrower shall be declared to be due and payable or required to be prepaid (other than by a
regularly scheduled payment) prior to the date of maturity thereof.

shall continue unsatisfied and in effect for thirty (30) consecutive days without a stay of execution or (ii) one or more final judgments for the payment of money in an amount in excess of $25,000,000, individually or in the aggregate,
shall be entered against Performance Guarantor or any of its Material Subsidiaries (other than Borrower on claims not covered by insurance or as to which the insurance carrier has denied its responsibility), and such judgment shall continue
unsatisfied and in effect for thirty (30) consecutive days without a stay of execution. 
 (k) The “Termination
Date” under and as defined in the Receivables Sale Agreement shall occur under the Receivables Sale Agreement; or without the Administrative Agent’s prior written consent, Borrower shall consent to any assignment by an Originator
of its rights or obligations under the Receivables Sale Agreement other than to any other Originator or to the surviving entity in a merger or consolidation of an Originator with any other Person who is or is to become an Originator after giving
effect to such merger or consolidation; or any Originator shall for any reason cease to transfer, or cease to have the legal capacity to transfer, or otherwise be incapable of transferring Receivables to Borrower under the Receivables Sale
Agreement.

manner such effectiveness, validity, binding nature or enforceability of its obligations thereunder.

Service shall file any notice of lien on any of the Receivables or the Related Security and such lien shall not have been released within seven (7) days. 
 Section 9.2 Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Amortization Event, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the direction of any of the Co-Agents or the Required Liquidity Banks
shall, take any of the following actions: (i) declare the Amortization Date to have occurred, whereupon the Aggregate Commitment shall immediately 

  

 26 








 
terminate and the Amortization Date shall forthwith occur, all without demand, protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly
waived by each Loan Party and the Person acting as Servicer may be replaced by the Co-Agents in their sole discretion; provided, however, that upon the occurrence of an Event of Bankruptcy with respect to any Loan Party, the
Amortization Date shall automatically occur, without demand, protest or any notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by each Loan Party, (ii) deliver the Collection Notices to the Collection Banks, (iii) exercise all
rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the UCC and other applicable laws, and (iv) notify Obligors of the Administrative Agent’s security interest in the Receivables and other Collateral. The aforementioned rights and

 ARTICLE X. 
 INDEMNIFICATION 
 Section 10.1 Indemnities by the Loan Parties. Without limiting any other rights that any Agent or any Lender may have hereunder or under
applicable law, (A) Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify (and pay upon demand to) each Agent, each Conduit, each of the Liquidity Banks and each of their respective officers, directors, agents and employees of the foregoing (each, an
“Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all damages, losses, claims, Indemnified Taxes, liabilities, costs, expenses and for all other amounts payable, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements
actually incurred (all of the foregoing being collectively referred to as “Indemnified Amounts”) awarded against and actually paid or actually incurred by any of them arising out of or as a result of this Agreement or the
acquisition, either directly or indirectly, by a Lender of an interest in the Receivables, and (B) the Servicer hereby agrees to indemnify (and pay upon demand to) each Indemnified Party for Indemnified Amounts awarded against and actually paid
or actually incurred by any of them arising out of the Servicer’s activities as Servicer hereunder excluding, however, in all of the foregoing instances under the preceding clauses (A) and (B): 
 (a) Indemnified Amounts to the extent a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction holds that such Indemnified Amounts resulted from gross
negligence or willful misconduct on the part of any Indemnified Party; 
 (b) Indemnified Amounts to the extent the same includes losses in
respect of Receivables that are uncollectible on account of the insolvency, bankruptcy or lack of creditworthiness of the related Obligor; or 
 (c) Indemnified Amounts to the extent the same arise out of or result from claims of one or more Indemnified Parties against another Indemnified Party, 
 provided, however, that nothing contained in this sentence shall limit the liability of any Loan Party or limit the recourse of the Lenders to Borrower or Servicer for amounts otherwise 

  

 27 








 
specifically provided to be paid by either such Loan Party under the terms of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing
indemnification, Borrower shall indemnify the Agents and the Lenders for Indemnified Amounts (including, without limitation, losses in respect of uncollectible receivables, regardless of whether reimbursement therefor would constitute recourse to
Borrower or the Servicer) relating to or resulting from: 
 (i) any representation or warranty made by any Loan Party or any Originator (or
any of their respective officers on behalf of any such Person) under or in connection with any Transaction Document to which they are parties, or any other written information or report delivered by any such Person pursuant hereto or thereto, which
shall have been false or incorrect when made or deemed made; 
 (ii) the failure by Borrower, the Servicer or any Originator to comply with
any applicable law, rule or regulation with respect to any Receivable or Contract related thereto, or the nonconformity of any Receivable or Contract included therein with any such applicable law, rule or regulation or any failure of any Originator
to keep or perform any of its obligations, express or implied, with respect to any Contract; 
 (iii) any failure of Borrower, the Servicer
or any Originator to perform its duties, covenants or other obligations in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the Receivables Sale Agreement or the Servicing Agreement; 
 (iv) any products liability, personal injury or damage suit, or other similar claim arising out of or in connection with merchandise, insurance or
services that are the subject of any Contract or any Receivable; 
 (v) any dispute, claim, offset or defense (other than discharge in
bankruptcy of the Obligor) of the Obligor to the payment of any Receivable (including, without limitation, a defense based on such Receivable or the related Contract not being a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Obligor enforceable against
it in accordance with its terms), or any other claim resulting from the sale of the merchandise or service related to such Receivable or the furnishing or failure to furnish such merchandise or services; 
 (vi) any Collections received, directly or indirectly by an Originator (or its agent) which are not promptly remitted to Borrower; 
 (vii) any investigation, litigation or proceeding related to or arising from this Agreement, the Receivables Sales Agreement or the Servicing Agreement,
the transactions contemplated hereby, the use of the proceeds of any Advance, the Collateral or any other investigation, litigation or proceeding relating to Borrower, the Servicer or any Originator in which any Indemnified Party becomes involved as
a result of any of the transactions contemplated hereby; 
 (viii) any inability to litigate any claim against any Obligor in respect of any
Receivable as a result of such Obligor being immune from civil and commercial law and suit on the grounds of sovereignty or otherwise from any legal action, suit or proceeding; 
  

 28 








 (ix) any failure of Borrower to acquire and maintain ownership of any of the Collateral from the
applicable Originator, free and clear of any Adverse Claim (other than as created hereunder); 
 (x) any failure to vest and maintain vested
in the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties a valid first priority perfected security interests in the Collateral, free and clear of any Adverse Claim (except as created by the Transaction Documents); 
 (xi) the failure to have filed or to have maintained effective financing statements or other similar instruments or documents under the UCC of any
applicable jurisdiction or other applicable domestic or foreign laws with respect to any Collateral, and the proceeds thereof, whether at the time of any Advance or at any subsequent time; 
 (xii) the failure of any Receivable included in the calculation of the Net Pool Balance as an Eligible Receivable to be an Eligible Receivable at the
time so included. 
 Section 10.2 Increased Cost and Reduced Return. If any Affected Entity shall be charged any fee, expense or
increased cost on account of a Regulatory Change: (i) that subjects any Affected Entity to any Tax, duty or other charge or withholding on or with respect to any Funding Agreement or an Affected Entity’s obligations under a Funding
Agreement, or on or with respect to the Receivables, or changes the basis of taxation of payments to any Affected Entity of any amounts payable under any Funding Agreement (except for (a) changes in the rate of Tax on the overall revenues or
net income of an Affected Entity and (b) Excluded Taxes) or (ii) that imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve, assessment, insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the
account of an Affected Entity, or credit extended by an Affected Entity pursuant to a Funding Agreement or (iii) that imposes any other condition the result of which is to increase the cost to an Affected Entity of performing its obligations
under a Funding Agreement, or to reduce the rate of return on an Affected Entity’s capital as a consequence of its obligations under a Funding Agreement, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by an Affected Entity under a
Funding Agreement or to require any payment calculated by reference to the amount of interests or loans held or interest received by it, then, upon demand by the applicable Co-Agent, Borrower shall pay to such Co-Agent, for the benefit of the
relevant Affected Entity, such amounts charged to such Affected Entity or such amounts to otherwise compensate such Affected Entity for such increased cost or such reduction. Each Affected Entity will promptly notify the applicable Co-Agent, and
such Co-Agent will promptly thereafter notify Borrower, of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date such Affected Entity first became entitled to the benefits of this Section, which will entitle such Affected Entity to
compensation pursuant to this Section and will, if possible, designate a different lending office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the judgment of such Affected Entity, be
otherwise materially disadvantageous to such Affected Entity. A certificate of any Affected Entity claiming compensation under this Section and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder and showing in reasonable
detail the calculation thereof shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, such Affected Entity may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods previously disclosed in writing to Borrower. 

 

 29 








 Section 10.3 Taxes. 
 (a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Borrower hereunder or under any other Transaction Document
shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if Borrower shall be required by applicable law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes (including any Other Taxes)
from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) any Agent or Lender, as the case may be,
receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) Borrower shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in
accordance with applicable law. 
 (b) Payment of Other Taxes by Borrower. Without limiting the provisions of paragraph
(a) above, Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 
 (c)
Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by Borrower to a Governmental Authority, Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt
issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 
 (d) Status of Lenders. Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction
in which Borrower is resident for tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Transaction Document shall deliver to Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at
the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without
withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Borrower or the
Administrative Agent as will enable Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any Foreign
Lender shall deliver to Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time
thereafter upon the request of Borrower or the Administrative Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable: 
 (i) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or successor form) claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax
treaty to which the United States is a party, 
 (ii) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or
successor form), 
  

 30 








 (iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for
portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Tax Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Tax Code, (B) a “10 percent
shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Tax Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Tax Code and (y) duly completed copies of Internal
Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or successor form), or 
 (iv) any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for
claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction
required to be made. 
 (e) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any Agent or Lender determines, in its reasonable discretion, that it has
received a refund or a foreign tax credit of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by Borrower or with respect to which Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to Borrower an amount equal to
such refund or credit (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by Borrower under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund or credit), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of
such Agent or Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund or credit); provided that Borrower, upon the request of such Agent or Lender agrees to
repay the amount paid over to Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Agent or such Lender in the event such Agent or Lender is required to repay such refund or credit to such
Governmental Authority. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any Agent or Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to Borrower or any other Person. 

(f) Survival. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of Borrower
contained in this Section shall survive the payment in full of the obligations of Borrower hereunder and the termination of the Aggregate Commitment. 
 Section 10.4 Other Costs and Expenses. Borrower shall pay to the Agents and the Conduits on demand all reasonable costs and out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred in connection with the preparation,
execution, and delivery of this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby and the other documents to be delivered hereunder, including without limitation, the cost of each Review (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 7.1(d)).
Borrower shall pay to the Agents on demand any and all reasonable costs and expenses of the Agents and the Lenders, including reasonable counsel fees and expenses actually incurred in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement and the other
documents delivered hereunder and in connection with any restructuring or workout of this Agreement or such documents, or the administration of this Agreement following an Amortization Event.

Lenders may have to any of the Loan Parties under the other provisions of this Agreement. 
 (c) In performing its functions and duties

 Section 11.4 Reliance by the Agents. 
 (a) Each of the Agents shall in all cases be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any document or conversation believed by it
to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected
by such Agent. Each of the Agents shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of such of the Lenders
or Liquidity Banks in its Group as it deems appropriate and it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Liquidity Banks in its Group against any and all liability, cost and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or
continuing to take any such action. 
 (b) Any action taken by any of the Agents in accordance with Section 11.5(a) shall be
binding upon all of the Agents and the Lenders. 
 Section 11.5 Non-Reliance on Other Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender
expressly acknowledges that none of the Agents, nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including, without
limitation, any review of the affairs of any Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by such Agent. Each Lender represents and warrants to each Agent that it has and will, independently and without reliance upon any
Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, prospects, financial and other conditions and creditworthiness
of Borrower and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and all other documents related hereto or thereto. 
 Section 11.6 Reimbursement and Indemnification. Each Liquidity Bank agrees to reimburse and indemnify (a) its applicable Co-Agent, (b) the Administrative Agent and its officers, directors,
employees, representatives and agents ratably according to their Pro Rata Shares of their Group’s Percentage of the Obligations, to the extent not paid or reimbursed by the Loan Parties (i) for any amounts for which such Agent, acting in
its capacity as Agent, is entitled to reimbursement by the Loan Parties hereunder and (ii) for any other expenses incurred by such Agent, in its capacity as Agent and acting on behalf of the Lenders, in connection with the administration and
enforcement of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. 
 Section 11.7 Agents in their Individual Capacities. Each of
the Agents and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower as though such Agent were not an Agent hereunder. With respect to the making of Loans
pursuant to this Agreement, each of the Agents shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement in its individual capacity as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Liquidity
Bank,” “Lender,” “Liquidity Banks” and “Lenders” shall include each of the Agents in its individual capacity. 
  

 34 








 Section 11.8 Conflict Waivers. Each Co-Agent acts, or may in the future act: (i) as
administrative agent for such Co-Agent’s Conduit, (ii) as issuing and paying agent for such Conduit’s Commercial Paper, (iii) to provide credit or liquidity enhancement for the timely payment for such Conduit’s Commercial
Paper and (iv) to provide other services from time to time for such Conduit (collectively, the “Co-Agent Roles”). Without limiting the generality of Sections 11.1 and 11.8, each of the other Agents and the Lenders hereby
acknowledges and consents to any and all Co-Agent Roles and agrees that in connection with any Co-Agent Role, a Co-Agent may take, or refrain from taking, any action which it, in its discretion, deems appropriate, including, without limitation, in
its role as administrative agent for its Conduit, the giving of notice to the Liquidity Banks in its Group of a mandatory purchase pursuant to the Liquidity Agreement for such Group, and hereby acknowledges that neither the applicable Co-Agent nor
any of its Affiliates has any fiduciary duties hereunder to any Lender (other than its Conduit) arising out of any Co-Agent Roles. 
 Section 11.9 UCC Filings. Each of the Secured Parties hereby expressly recognizes and agrees that the Administrative Agent may be listed as the assignee or secured party of record on the various UCC filings required to be made
under the Transaction Documents in order to perfect their respective interests in the Collateral, that such listing shall be for administrative convenience only in creating a record or nominee holder to take certain actions hereunder on behalf of
the Secured Parties and that such listing will not affect in any way the status of the Secured Parties as the true parties in interest with respect to the Collateral. In addition, such listing shall impose no duties on the Administrative Agent other
than those expressly and specifically undertaken in accordance with this Article XI. 
 Section 11.10 Successor Administrative
Agent. The Administrative Agent, upon five (5) days’ notice to the Loan Parties, the other Agents and the Lenders, may voluntarily resign and may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by the Majority Lenders; provided,
however, that STRH shall not voluntarily resign as the Administrative Agent so long as any of the Liquidity Commitments remain in effect or TPF has any outstanding Loans. If the Administrative Agent (other than STRH) shall voluntarily resign
or be removed as Administrative Agent under this Agreement, then the Required Liquidity Banks during such five-day period shall appoint, with the consent of Borrower from among the remaining Liquidity Banks, a successor Administrative Agent,
whereupon such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent, effective upon its appointment, and the former
Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement. Upon resignation or
replacement of any Administrative Agent in accordance with this Section 11.8, the retiring Administrative Agent shall execute such UCC-3 or other UCC assignments and amendments, and assignments and amendments of the Transaction Documents, as
may be necessary to give effect to its replacement by a successor Administrative Agent. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article XI and Article X shall inure to its
benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement.

 ARTICLE XII. 
 ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATIONS 
 Section 12.1 Assignments. 
 (a) Each of the Agents, the Loan Parties and the Liquidity Banks hereby agrees and consents to the complete or partial assignment by each Conduit of all
or any portion of its rights under, interest in, title to and obligations under this Agreement to the Liquidity Banks in its Group pursuant to its Liquidity Agreement. 
 (b) Any Liquidity Bank may at any time and from time to time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees (each, a “Purchasing Liquidity Bank”) all or any part of its rights and obligations under
this Agreement pursuant to an assignment agreement (an “Assignment Agreement”) executed by such Purchasing Liquidity Bank and such selling Liquidity Bank and in a form reasonably acceptable to the applicable Conduit and the
Loan Parties; provided, however, that any assignment of a Liquidity Bank’s rights and obligations hereunder shall include a pro rata assignment of its rights and obligations under the applicable Liquidity Agreement. The consent of
the applicable Conduit shall be required prior to the effectiveness of any such assignment by a Liquidity Bank in such Conduit’s Group. Each assignee of a Liquidity Bank must (i) be an Eligible Assignee and (ii) agree to deliver to
the applicable Co-Agent, promptly following any request therefor by the applicable Co-Agent or the applicable Conduit, an enforceability opinion with respect to such Liquidity Banks obligations under the Transaction Documents to which such Liquidity
Bank would be a party in form and substance satisfactory to such Co-Agent and such Conduit. Upon delivery of an executed Assignment Agreement to the applicable Co-Agent, such selling Liquidity Bank shall be released from its obligations hereunder
and under applicable Liquidity Agreement to the extent of such assignment. Thereafter the Purchasing Liquidity Bank shall for all purposes be a Liquidity Bank party to this Agreement and the applicable Liquidity Agreement and shall have all the
rights and obligations of a Liquidity Bank hereunder and thereunder to the same extent as if it were an original party hereto and thereto and no further consent or action by Borrower, the Lenders or the Agents shall be required. The applicable Agent
shall give Borrower prior notice of the name of any assignee of a Liquidity Bank in such Co-Agent’s Group and the name(s) of the selling Liquidity Bank(s) and the amounts assigned by each selling Liquidity Bank. 
 (c) Each of the Liquidity Banks agrees that in the event that it shall suffer a Downgrading Event, the applicable Co-Agent shall promptly notify Borrower
and such Downgraded Liquidity Bank shall be obliged, at the request of the applicable Conduit, the applicable Co-Agent or Borrower, to (i) collateralize its Commitment and its Liquidity Commitment in a manner acceptable to the applicable
Co-Agent, or (ii) assign all of its rights and obligations hereunder and under the applicable Liquidity Agreement to an Eligible Assignee nominated by the applicable Co-Agent or a Loan Party and acceptable to the applicable Conduit and willing
to participate in this Agreement and such Liquidity Agreement through the Liquidity Termination Date in the place of such Downgraded Liquidity Bank; provided that the Downgraded Liquidity Bank receives payment in full, pursuant to an
Assignment Agreement, of an amount equal to such Liquidity Bank’s Pro Rata Share of such Liquidity Bank’s Group’s Percentage of the Obligations owing to the Liquidity Banks of such Group; provided further that 

  

 36 








 
if either conditions set forth above in clause (i) or (ii) is not met with respect in such Downgraded Liquidity Bank, the Liquidity Termination
Date shall not occur if (A) the Groups that do not have a Downgraded Liquidity Bank as a member elect to increase their Conduit Allocation Limit and the related Liquidity Commitments in such amounts that total the then existing Aggregate
Commitment, (B) the Aggregate Commitment is reduced by an amount equal to the commitments of the Liquidity Banks in such Downgraded Liquidity Bank’s Group, or (C) another Group agrees to replace such Downgraded Liquidity Bank’s
Group on the terms and conditions set forth herein (except for any amendments or modifications as are acceptable to the remaining Groups, in their sole discretion), in each case, prior to the end of the thirty day period set forth in the definition
of “Liquidity Termination Date” and with the consent of the remaining Groups (which consent shall be in such Group’s sole discretion). 
 (d) No Loan Party may assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of each of the Agents and each of the Lenders and without satisfying the Rating Agency Condition, if
applicable. 
 Section 12.2 Participations. Any Liquidity Bank may, in the ordinary course of its business at any time sell to
one or more Persons (each, a “Participant”) participating interests in its Pro Rata Share of its Group’s Percentage of Aggregate Commitment, its Loans, its Liquidity Commitment or any other interest of such Liquidity
Bank hereunder or under the applicable Liquidity Agreement. Notwithstanding any such sale by a Liquidity Bank of a participating interest to a Participant, such Liquidity Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and such Liquidity
Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Liquidity Bank shall remain solely responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder and under such Liquidity Agreement, and the Loan Parties, the Conduits and the Agents shall continue to deal
solely and directly with such Liquidity Bank in connection with such Liquidity Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the applicable Liquidity Agreement. Each Liquidity Bank agrees that any agreement between such Liquidity Bank
and any such Participant in respect of such participating interest shall not restrict such Liquidity Bank’s right to agree to any amendment, supplement, waiver or modification to this Agreement, except for any amendment, supplement, waiver or
modification described in Section 14.1(b)(i). 
 Section 12.3 Federal Reserve. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement to the contrary, any Liquidity Bank may at any time pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its rights (including, without limitation, any Loan and any rights to payment of principal or interest thereon) under this
Agreement to secure obligations of such Liquidity Bank to a Federal Reserve Bank, without notice to or consent of Borrower, Servicer or any Agent; provided that no such pledge or grant of a security interest shall release a Liquidity Bank
from any of its obligations hereunder, or substitute any such pledgee or grantee for such Liquidity Bank as a party hereto.

Lender’s Group entitled to receive a ratable share of such Obligations, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase for cash without recourse or warranty a portion of such Obligations held by the other Lenders in such Lender’s

Section 10.2, 10.3 or 10.4) in a greater proportion than that received by any other Group entitled to receive a ratable share of such Obligations, the Lenders in such Group agree, promptly upon demand, to purchase for cash without recourse or
warranty a portion of such Obligations held by the other Groups so that after such purchase each Lender in such Group, taken together, will hold its Group’s Percentage of such Obligations; provided that in the case of the preceding
clauses (a) and (b), if all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from such Lender or Group, as applicable, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without
interest.

 (b) If Borrower or any Performance Guarantor fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder, any Agent or any Lender may (but shall not
be required to) perform, or cause performance of, such obligations, and such Agent’s or such Lender’s reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by Borrower as provided in Section 10.4. Borrower
irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent at any time and from time to time in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, and appoints the Administrative Agent as its attorney-in-fact, to act on behalf of Borrower (i) to execute on
