 PURCHASES

 Section 2.01. General Terms; Intent of the Parties. 

(a) The Originator hereby sells, transfers and assigns, without recourse (except as expressly provided herein) to the Buyer, on the terms and
subject to the conditions specifically set forth herein, on the Closing Date and on each Business thereafter until the Purchase Termination Date, all of the Originator’s right, title and interest, now owned or hereafter acquired, in, to and
under (i) all Receivables in existence on such date which were originated at least the Requisite Days prior to such date, (ii) all Related Security, and (iii) all Collections existing on such date or thereafter arising (collectively,
the “Purchased Assets”). 

  
 - 4 - 








 (b) (i) The parties to this Agreement intend and have structured the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement such that each of the transactions contemplated hereby shall be, and shall be treated as, a purchase by the Buyer and a sale by the Originator of the Purchased Assets and not as a lending transaction, and each agrees to treat each
such transaction as a “true sale” for all purposes under applicable Law and accounting principles, including in their respective books, records, computer files, tax returns (federal, state and local), regulatory and governmental filings
(and shall reflect such sale in their respective financial statements). The foregoing sales, transfers and assignments do not constitute and are not intended to result in a creation or assumption by the Buyer or its assigns of any obligation or
liability with respect to any Receivable, Contract or other Purchased Asset and any such assumption is hereby expressly disclaimed, nor shall the Buyer or its assigns be obligated to perform or otherwise be responsible for any obligation of the
Originator or any other Person in connection with any Receivable, Contract or other Purchased Assets or any agreement or instrument relating thereto; provided, however, the Buyer agrees to take such Purchased Assets subject to the
terms and conditions of the applicable Insurance Policy, including the applicability of any deductible or first loss requirement under the applicable Insurance Policy. The Originator shall indemnify the Buyer and its successors and assigns in
accordance with Section 7.02 in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses arising out of or incurred in connection with the assertion by the Originator, any Obligor or other third party of such obligation or
liability against the Buyer or its successors or assigns. 
 (ii) In the event that, contrary to the mutual intent of the parties, any
purchase of Purchased Assets is not characterized as a sale, the Originator shall, effective as of the date hereof, be deemed to have granted (and the Originator hereby does grant) to the Buyer a first priority security interest (“Back-Up
Security Interest”) in and to any and all Receivables and other Purchased Assets purported to be transferred hereunder and the proceeds thereof to secure the repayment of all amounts paid to the Originator hereunder with accrued interest
thereon at a rate per annum equal to the annualized applicable Discount Percentage and the payment and performance of all obligations of the Originator hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents, and this Agreement shall be deemed to be a
security agreement. With respect to such grant of a security interest, the Buyer and its assigns may at its option exercise from time to time any and all rights and remedies available to it hereunder, under the UCC or otherwise. 

(c) The Buyer has the right, in its sole discretion, to transfer, sell, pledge or otherwise convey the Purchased Assets to any Person without
the prior consent of the Originator. 
 (d) The Originator has filed or caused to be filed UCC-1 financing statements naming Originator, as
debtor/seller, and the Buyer, as secured party/buyer, and the Administrative Agent, as assignee, both (i) stating that the financing statements are being filed because UCC Section 9-109 does not distinguish between a sale and a secured
loan for filing purposes, and (ii) describing the respective Receivables and other Purchased Assets sold hereunder as collateral with the office of the Secretary of State of its jurisdiction of organization. The Originator shall from time to
time take all actions necessary or requested by the Buyer or the Administrative Agent (including the filing of all financing statements or other similar instruments or documents necessary under the UCC (or any comparable law) of all appropriate
jurisdictions to perfect the Buyer’s interest in the Purchased Assets and such other 

  
 - 5 - 








 
action to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the interest of the Buyer therein as the Buyer or the Administrative Agent may reasonably request) to vest legal and equitable title to the
Purchased Assets irrevocably in the Buyer, free and clear of any Adverse Claims other than Adverse Claims in favor of the Administrative Agent and to continue the perfection of the interests of the Buyer in the Purchased Assets. The Originator
hereby authorizes the filing of any financing statements, continuation statements and amendments to financing statements (or comparable instruments) in any jurisdictions and with any filing office, as the Buyer or the Administrative Agent may
reasonably determine are necessary or advisable to perfect (or maintain) the security interest granted to the Buyer in connection herewith. Such financing statements (or comparable instruments) may describe the Purchased Assets in the same manner as
described herein or may contain an indication or description of the Purchased Assets that describes such property in any other manner as the Buyer or the Administrative Agent may reasonably determine is necessary, advisable or prudent to ensure the
perfection of the interest in the Purchased Assets granted to the Buyer in connection herewith. For purposes of such filings, the Originator agrees to furnish any information reasonably available to it and reasonably requested by the Buyer or the
Administrative Agent promptly upon request by the Buyer or the Administrative Agent. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the Originator hereby authorizes and irrevocably grants to the Servicer, the Buyer and the Administrative Agent
an irrevocable power of attorney, with full power of substitution, coupled with an interest, to execute, deliver and file in the name of the Originator, or in its own name, such financing statements, continuation statements and other instruments and
documents for filing under the provisions of the UCC (or any comparable law) of any applicable jurisdiction and such instruments of transfer and any notices of assignment as the Servicer, the Buyer or the Administrative Agent reasonably deems
necessary to protect or perfect its interest in the Receivables and other Purchased Assets or to protect or perfect the Back-up Security Interest. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation
to file and prepare financing statements or continuation statements or to take any action or to execute any further documents or instruments in order to create, preserve or perfect the interests granted hereunder, such obligation being solely the
obligation of the Originator, the Buyer or the Servicer as set forth herein or in the other Transaction Documents. 
 (e) In connection with
the sale of Receivables hereunder to the Buyer, the Originator hereby sells, transfers, assigns and otherwise conveys to the Buyer all of the Originator’s right and title to and interest in the Records relating to all Receivables sold
hereunder, without the need for any further documentation in connection with such sale, transfer, assignment or conveyance. The Originator shall take such action reasonably requested by the Buyer and/or the Administrative Agent (as the Buyer’s
assignee), from time to time hereafter, that may be necessary or appropriate to ensure that the Buyer and its assigns under the Receivables Purchase Agreement have an enforceable ownership interest in the Records relating to the Receivables sold by
the Originator hereunder. 
 (f) The Originator shall promptly notify the Buyer and the Administrative Agent of the existence of any Adverse
Claim on any Receivable, any other Purchased Assets in respect thereof or any Lockbox or Lockbox Account (other than the Adverse Claims thereon in favor of the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement or in favor of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the
Receivables Purchase Agreement or recognized pursuant to the Collateral Agent and Intercreditor Agreement) and shall defend the right, title and interest of the Buyer and the Administrative Agent in, to and under the Purchased Assets against all
claims of third parties. 

  
 - 6 - 








 (g) During the term of this Agreement, the Originator shall maintain its chief executive office
and its principal place of business in one of the states of the United States of America. 
 (h) The Originator shall pay the reasonable
costs and disbursements in connection with the perfection and the maintenance of perfection, as against all third parties, of the right, title and interest of the Buyer and its assigns in and to the Receivables and other Purchased Assets. 

(i) In the event that either (i) no Purchaser elects to make a Cash Outlay when requested pursuant to Section 2.02 of the
Receivables Purchase Agreement or (ii) the Originator shall elect not to make a capital contribution to the Buyer pursuant to Section 2.02(a) or (e) necessary for the Buyer to pay the Buyer Purchase Price for the
Receivables to be acquired on such day, then the Receivables to be transferred on such date shall not be transferred to the extent of such shortfall and no further sales of Receivables shall be made pursuant to this Agreement. 

Section 2.02. Purchase Price. 

(a) On the date hereof, the Buyer does accept from the Originator, the Originator’s right, title and interest in, to and under those
Purchased Assets that are sold hereunder. As consideration for such sales, transfers and assignments of Purchased Assets existing on the date hereof, the Buyer shall pay the Buyer Purchase Price therefor, or cause such Buyer Purchase Price to be
paid to the Originator, on the date of the initial Cash Outlay under the Receivables Purchase Agreement in the following manner: (i) first, in cash, in an amount equal to the amount of such Cash Outlay, and (ii) second, at the election of
the Originator, in the form of a deemed capital contribution by the Originator to the Buyer in an amount equal to such Buyer Purchase Price minus the amount of such Buyer Purchase Price paid in cash pursuant to the preceding clause (i).
The Buyer and the Originator agree that such Buyer Purchase Price represents the fair market value for the Purchased Assets existing on the date hereof. Unless the Originator delivers prior written notice to the Buyer and the Administrative Agent
that is electing not to make a capital contribution pursuant to the second preceding sentence, the Originator will be deemed to have made a deemed capital contribution to the Buyer in an amount equal to such Buyer Purchase Price minus the amount of
such Buyer Purchase Price paid in cash pursuant to the clause (i) of such sentence. If the Originator delivers written notice to the Buyer and the Administrative Agent that is electing not to make a capital contribution pursuant to the
third preceding sentence, then the Purchased Assets existing on the date hereof shall not be transferred hereunder. 
 (b) As consideration
for the sale, transfer and assignment of each Purchased Asset transferred after the date hereof, on each Business Day the Buyer shall pay (or cause to be paid) to the Originator, the Buyer Purchase Price for such Purchased Assets sold by the
Originator to the Buyer. The Buyer and the Originator agree that the Buyer Purchase Price for Purchased Assets purchased by the Buyer represents the fair market value for such Purchased Assets. 

  
 - 7 - 








 (c) Although the Buyer Purchase Price for each Receivable and for its related Purchased Assets
transferred after the date hereof shall be due and payable in full by the Buyer to the Originator on the date of transfer, final settlement of the Buyer Purchase Price between the Buyer and the Originator shall be effected on a periodic basis on
Settlement Dates with respect to all Receivables and their related Purchased Assets transferred during the same Monthly Period and based on the information contained in the Monthly Report delivered by the Servicer pursuant to the Receivables
Purchase Agreement for the Monthly Period then most recently ended. 
 (d) With respect to each Receivable and its related Purchased Assets
transferred hereunder after the date hereof, provisional payments, subject to final determination or to adjustment as set forth in Sections 2.02(e) and 2.02(f) below, shall be made by the Buyer to the Originator on each Business
Day, to the extent of funds available to the Buyer for the payment of the Buyer Purchase Price therefor under Section 2.12(a) or Section 2.12(b) of the Receivables Purchase Agreement or from the proceeds of Cash Outlays. 

(e) On each Settlement Date, the Servicer on behalf of the Buyer shall calculate, (i) the aggregate Buyer Purchase Price due to the
Originator for Purchased Assets sold to the Buyer with respect to the prior Monthly Period (other than Purchased Assets purchased by the Buyer on the date of this Agreement), (ii) the aggregate amount of payments made to the Originator pursuant
to Section 2.02(d) in respect of such Buyer Purchase Price and (iii) the Excess Payment, if any, for such Settlement Date, which amounts shall be set forth in the Monthly Report for such Monthly Period. The excess, if any, of the
amount set forth in clause (ii) above over the Excess Payment, if any, for such Settlement Date shall be retained by the Originator as a final payment of Buyer Purchase Price for such Purchased Assets for such Monthly Period. Any
remaining unpaid Purchase Price shall be paid to the Originator on such Settlement Date in the following manner, subject to Section 7.21: 

(i) FIRST, by delivery of immediately available funds, to the extent of funds available to the Buyer under
clause (vii), (viii) or (ix) of the Priority of Payments set forth in Section 2.12(b) of the Receivables Purchase Agreement or under clause (vii) or (viii) of the Priority of
Payments set forth in Section 2.12(c) of the Receivables Purchase Agreement, as then applicable, or other funds available to the Buyer for such purpose; and 

(ii) SECOND, at the election of the Originator, in the form of a deemed capital contribution by the Originator to the Buyer in
an amount equal to the remainder of such Buyer Purchase Price, provided that, unless and until the Originator delivers written notice to the Buyer and the Administrative Agent that is electing not to make a capital contribution pursuant to
this clause (ii), the Originator will be deemed to have made a deemed capital contribution to the Buyer in an amount equal to such remainder of the Buyer Purchase Price with respect to each Receivable transferred prior to the date of delivery of
such notice. If the Originator delivers written notice to the Buyer and the Administrative Agent that is electing not to make a capital contribution pursuant to this clause (ii), then each Purchased Asset which would otherwise be transferred on or
after the date of delivery of such notice shall not be transferred hereunder. 

  
 - 8 - 








 (f) If the aggregate amount of payments made to the Originator pursuant to
Section 2.02(d) during a Settlement Period exceeds the lesser of (i) the aggregate Buyer Purchase Price due to the Originator for Purchased Assets sold to the Buyer with respect to the most recently completed Monthly Period (other
than Purchased Assets purchased by the Buyer on the date of this Agreement) or (ii) the aggregate amount of funds which would have been available to the Buyer for payment of such Buyer Purchase Price under clauses (vii),
(viii) and (ix) of the Priority of Payments set forth in Section 2.12(b) of the Receivables Purchase Agreement on the related Settlement Date if all Collections during such Settlement Period on such Settlement
Date had been deposited into the Collection Account and applied on such Settlement Date in accordance with such Section 2.12(b), such excess shall constitute an “Excess Payment” for such Settlement Date. In the event
that such Settlement Date occurs on or after the Facility Termination Date, the entire amount of such payments made to the Originator pursuant to Section 2.02(d) during a Settlement Period shall constitute an “Excess
Payment” for such Settlement Date. On or before each Settlement Date, the Originator shall deposit into the Lockbox Account, for the account of the Buyer, the Excess Payment, if any, for such Settlement Date in immediately available funds.
Any Excess Payment deposited by the Originator on a Settlement Date shall constitute a refund of excess provisional payments of Buyer Purchase Price, to the extent the aggregate amount of payments made to the Originator pursuant to
Section 2.02(d) during the related Settlement Period exceeded the aggregate Buyer Purchase Price due to the Originator for Purchased Assets sold to the Buyer with respect to the most recently completed Monthly Period (other than
Purchased Assets purchased by the Buyer on the date of this Agreement), and the remainder of such Excess Payment, if any, shall constitute a reversal of the related provisional payment received by it pursuant to Section 2.02(d) and be
deemed to be a contribution to the capital of the Buyer by the Originator. 
 Section 2.03. Dilutions. If on any day the
principal amount of a Receivable included in the Purchased Assets is reduced or canceled as a result of any Dilution Factor with respect to such Receivable, the Originator shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection of such Receivable
in the amount of such reduction or cancellation. If on any day any representation or warranty in Section 4.02 made or deemed made on such day with respect to a Receivable included in the Purchased Assets is not true and correct in any
material respect and, if such breach is reasonably capable of being cured and the Originator is in good faith attempting to cure such breach, such breach remains uncured for 30 days, or a Receivables which was treated as an Eligible Receivable is
determined not to be or ceases to be an Eligible Receivable (other than by reason of such Receivable becoming a Defaulted Receivable), the Originator shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection (any such deemed Collection pursuant to
this or the preceding sentence, a “Deemed Collection”) of such Receivable in full. On each day on which a Deemed Collection arises, the Buyer shall be entitled to a credit in the amount thereof against the Buyer Purchase Price for
the affected Receivable included in the Purchased Assets. On each Settlement Date, the Originator shall pay the aggregate amount of such credits for the related Monthly Period to the Buyer by depositing an amount equal to the aggregate Deemed
Collections for the related Monthly Period into the Collection Account; provided that, so long as no Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and to the extent that the Aggregate 

  
 - 9 - 








 
Funded Purchase Price is less than the Maximum Aggregate Funded Purchase Price, the Originator may, at its option, instead provide the Buyer with a credit therefor against future payments of
Buyer Purchase Price. Any amounts deposited into the Collection Account by the Originator pursuant to this Section 2.03 shall be treated as Collections of the affected Receivables. 

Section 2.04. Mandatory Repurchase Under Certain Circumstances. The Originator agrees to repurchase from the Buyer any Receivable
included in the Purchased Assets if at any time the Buyer shall cease to have a perfected ownership interest in such Receivable, free and clear of any Adverse Claim arising through the Originator or its Affiliates other than the Buyer (except as
otherwise provided herein), within five (5) Business Days of notice thereof to the Originator by the Buyer or the Administrative Agent. The repurchase price shall equal the aggregate Outstanding Balance of any such Receivable and shall be paid
by the Originator on the date of such repurchase (and in any event within five (5) Business Days following such notice) by deposit of immediately available funds to the Lockbox Account; provided that, so long as no Termination Event has
occurred and is continuing and to the extent that the Aggregate Funded Purchase Price is less than the Maximum Aggregate Funded Purchase Price, the Originator may, at its option, instead provide the Buyer with a credit therefor against future
payments of Buyer Purchase Price. Any amounts deposited into the Collection Account by the Originator pursuant to this Section 2.04 shall be treated as Collections of the affected Receivables. 

Section 2.05. Payments and Computations, Etc. 

(a) All amounts to be paid or deposited by the Originator hereunder shall be paid or deposited in accordance with the terms hereof in Dollars
and in immediately available funds no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the day when due. If such amounts are payable to the Buyer, they shall be deposited into the Collection Account; provided that if the Purchase Termination Date
has occurred, all such amounts shall be paid or deposited into such other account, if any, as may be directed by the Administrative Agent. 

(b) All payments hereunder shall be made without set-off (except as specifically provided herein) or counterclaim and in such amounts as may
be necessary in order that all such payments shall not be less than the amounts otherwise specified to be paid under this Agreement. 

Section 2.06. Taxes. 

(a) All payments by or on account of any obligation of any Company Party hereunder or under any other Transaction Document shall be made free
from set-off or counterclaim, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes other than Excluded Taxes unless the applicable Withholding Agent with respect to such payment is required by law to make any such deduction or
withholding. If the applicable Withholding Agent is required by law to deduct or withhold any such Taxes from or in respect of any sum so payable, then if such Tax is not an Excluded Tax (i) the sum payable shall be increased by the amount
necessary to yield to the applicable Affected Party an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, (ii) the applicable Withholding Agent shall make such deductions or withholdings, and
(iii) the applicable Withholding Agent shall pay the amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law.

 - 15 - 








 (a) Assignment. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which the Originator
is a party vest absolutely and unconditionally in the Buyer all legal and equitable right, title and interest of the Originator in and to such Receivable and other Purchased Assets with respect thereto, with the right to sell and encumber the same,
and constitutes a valid sale thereof from the Originator to the Buyer. The Originator has sold such Receivable and the other Purchased Assets with respect thereto to the Buyer in exchange for payment (made to the Originator in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement) in an amount which constitutes fair consideration and “reasonably equivalent value” (as such term is used in Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code). No such sale has been made for or on account of an
“antecedent debt” (as such term is used in Section 547 of the Bankruptcy Code) owed by the Originator to the Buyer, and no such sale is or may be voidable or subject to avoidance under any section of the Bankruptcy Code. 

(b) Perfection. All financing statements or other similar instruments necessary under the UCC (or any other applicable law) of all
appropriate jurisdictions have been filed to perfect the Buyer’s ownership of the Purchased Assets and the Back-Up Security Interest. This Agreement is effective, with respect to the Receivables and with respect to the Back-Up Security
Interest, to create a valid security interest in favor of the Buyer and its assigns securing, in the case of the Back-Up Security Interest, the obligations described in Section 2.01(b)(ii). No effective financing statement or other
instrument similarly in effect covering any Contract or any Receivables or other Purchased Assets is on file in any recording office against the Originator, except those filed in favor of the Buyer and the Administrative Agent relating to this
Agreement or in favor or the Administrative Agent relating to the Receivables Purchase Agreement. 
 (c) No Adverse Claims.
Immediately prior to the sale thereof from the Originator to the Buyer hereunder, such Receivable, together with all other Purchased Assets and Contracts with respect thereto, is owned by the Originator free and clear of any Adverse Claim. When the
Buyer purchases such Receivable, it has acquired an ownership interest in such Receivable and in the other Purchased Assets with respect thereto free and clear of any Adverse Claim, other than the Adverse Claims created by the Buyer in favor of the
Administrative Agent pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement. The Originator has not sold, pledged, assigned, transferred or subjected, and will not thereafter sell, pledge, assign, transfer or subject, any of the Purchased Assets to an
Adverse Claim, other than the sale to the Buyer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 
 (d) Originator’s Jurisdiction,
Names, etc. The Originator’s jurisdiction of organization has not been changed within the four months preceding the Closing Date (or if so changed, all necessary actions in connection with such change have been or are being timely taken in
accordance with Section 5.02(e)). Except as described in Schedule II, the Originator has no trade names, fictitious names, assumed names or “doing business as” names or other names under which it has done or is
doing business. The Originator has not changed its name, whether by amendment of its charter or other organizational document, by reorganization or otherwise, within the four months preceding such date (or if so changed, all necessary actions in
connection with such change have been or are being timely taken in accordance with Section 5.02(e)). The Originator’s principal place of business and chief executive office are located at its address set forth in Annex I and
have been so for the last four months.

Collection Policy in all material respects with respect to such Receivable, and no amendment or other modification to the Credit and Collection Policy has occurred except in compliance with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. 

(f) Eligibility of Receivables. Such Receivable qualifies as an Eligible Receivable. The Originator has no Actual Knowledge at the time
of the transfer of such Receivable hereunder that such Receivable would not be paid in full when due. 
 (g) Certain Uniform Commercial
Code Article 9 Representations. The representations and warranties set forth in Schedule III are true and correct. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, the representations contained
in this Section 4.02(g) shall be continuing and remain in full force and effect.

thereof within 30 day thereafter and unless prior to such date it has caused such financing statement or continuation statement to be amended or a new financing statement to be filed such that such financing statement or continuation statement would

shall have expressly assumed, by an agreement executed and delivered to the Buyer and the Financing Parties, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Buyer and the Administrative Agent, the performance and observance of all of the Originator’s
covenants and other obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, (B) no Purchase Termination Event or Potential Purchase Termination Event shall have occurred as a result thereof, (C) such Person shall have

 Section 5.04. Maintenance of and Compliance with Credit Insurance Policies; Credit
Insurance Claims. 
 The Originator covenants to the Buyer and each Financing Party that: 

(a) The Originator shall maintain in effect and shall comply with the terms and conditions of each Credit Insurance Policy for each Receivable
included in the Purchased Assets, except for any non-compliance that would not materially and adversely affect (i) the obligations of the relevant Credit Insurer thereunder or (ii) the Purchasers’ or the Buyer’s rights under such
Credit Insurance Policy, in each case with respect to any such Receivable. The Originator shall pay or cause to be paid all Credit Insurance Premiums on or before they date they are due and upon request of the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser
deliver to the Administrative Agent evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent of such payment. (In the event that the Originator shall have failed to make any such payment in a timely manner and such premium shall have been paid
by or for the account of the Buyer or Purchasers in accordance with the provisions of the Receivables Purchase Agreement, the Originator shall immediately and without notice or demand reimburse the Buyer or the Purchasers, as the case may be,
therefor.) 
 (b) The Originator shall not amend any Credit Insurance Policy or the terms upon which coverage under any Credit Insurance
Policy may be extended without the prior consent of the Buyer and Administrative Agent on behalf of the Purchasers, except for any amendments that would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Pool Receivables or the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents. 
 (c) The Originator shall perform its obligations and
exercise its rights under each Credit Insurance Policy for each Receivable included in the Purchased Assets to the same extent as if such Receivable had not been sold and transferred pursuant hereto. The exercise by the Administrative Agent on
behalf of the Purchasers of their rights under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents shall not release the Originator from any of its duties or obligations with respect to any Credit Insurance Policy. Neither the Buyer nor any Financing
Party shall have any obligation or liability with respect to any Credit Insurance Policy, nor shall any of them be obligated to perform the obligations of the Originator under any Credit Insurance Policy. 

(d) The Originator shall promptly (and in any event no later than five (5) Business Days) after receipt of the same, furnish to the Buyer
and the Administrative Agent copies of all consents, notices or waivers received from any Credit Insurer that relate in any material way to the Receivables included in the Purchased Assets; alternatively, the Originator may procure that the
applicable Credit Insurer will provide information concerning a Credit Insurance Policy, including details of those consents, notices and waivers, to the Buyer and the Administrative Agent by means of an on-line communication system or otherwise at
the same time it provides that information to the Originator. 
 (e) If, following a claim made under a Credit Insurance Policy with respect
to a Receivable included in the Purchased Assets that is an Insurance Claim Receivable, 
 (i) the applicable Credit Insurer
denies or rejects such claim, or fails to pay such claim on or prior to the date by which such Credit Insurer was required to pay the related claim under the Credit Insurance Policy (disregarding in determining such date any assertion by the Insurer
that such Receivable is not insured and covered 

  
 - 25 - 








 
thereunder), other than by reason of (A) such Receivable exceeding an applicable Credit Insurance Limit or the Maximum Credit Insurance Amount, (B) the insolvency, bankruptcy or lack of
creditworthiness of such Credit Insurer, or (C) a circumstance requiring a repurchase of such Receivable by the Servicer pursuant to Section 5.06(f) of the Receivables Purchase Agreement; or 

(ii) the Credit Insurer is insolvent or bankrupt, and the Credit Insurer denies or rejects such claim (A) as a result of a
circumstance giving rise to a Deemed Collection of such Receivable pursuant to Section 2.03 or requiring a repurchase of such Receivable by the Originator pursuant to Section 2.04 or by the Servicer pursuant to
Section 5.06(f) of the Receivables Purchase Agreement or (B) on another basis, other than such Receivable exceeding an applicable Credit Insurance Limit or the Maximum Credit Insurance Amount, not consisting solely of the financial
inability of the applicable Obligor to pay such Receivable, 
 then on the date of such denial, rejection or failure, the Originator shall or shall cause one
of its Affiliates to repurchase such Receivable from the Buyer for a repurchase price equal to the aggregate Outstanding Balance thereof, except to the extent that the Originator prior to such time shall have received a Deemed Collection of such
Receivable pursuant to Section 2.03 or shall have repurchased such Receivable pursuant to Section 2.04. Such repurchase price shall be paid by the Originator by deposit of immediately available funds to the Collection
Account; provided that during the Revolving Period and so long as the Aggregate Funded Purchase Price is less than the Maximum Aggregate Funded Purchase Price, the Originator may, at its option, pay such repurchase price by reducing the Buyer
Purchase Price payable by the Buyer on the date when such repurchase price is due for Receivables being purchased from the Originator on such date. Any such repurchase price paid by the Originator pursuant to this Section 5.04(e) shall
be treated as a Collection in respect of the affected Receivable. 
 (f) The Originator hereby grants the Servicer authority on its behalf to
assign to the Credit Insurers all of its right, title and interest in every Insurance Claim Receivable, if, as and to the extent required under the terms of the applicable Credit Insurance Policy, without any further action on its part. No such
assignment will affect the rights of the Buyer or any Financing Party under Section 2.03, 2.04 or 5.04.
