5.

ARTICLE I

PURCHASES AND REINVESTMENTS
SECTION 1.1Purchases; Limits on Purchasers’ Obligations.  Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, from time to time prior to the Purchase Termination Date, Seller may request that Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Conduit Purchasers ratably (in accordance with its applicable Ratable Share) purchase from Seller the Asset Interest (each such purchase being a “Purchase”) and, if any Conduit Purchaser in any Purchaser Group is unwilling or unable for any reason to make its Ratable Share of such Purchase or if any Purchaser Group does not have a Conduit Purchaser, Seller shall be deemed to have requested that the Committed Purchaser in such Purchaser Group make such Ratable Share of such Purchase, in an aggregate amount (the “Purchase Price”) equal in each instance to the lesser of:  (i) the amount requested by Seller under Section 1.2(a) and (ii) the largest amount that will not cause (a) the Purchasers’ Total Investment to exceed the Purchasers’ Total Commitment, (b) the sum of the Purchasers’ Total Investment and the Required Reserves to exceed the Net Portfolio Balance (in each case, at such time) or (c) the aggregate Investment of such Purchaser’s Purchaser Group to exceed the Commitment of the Committed Purchaser in such Purchaser Group; provided, that each Purchase made pursuant to this Section 1.1 shall be in an amount at least equal to $5,000,000 and, in each case, in integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof.  Each Committed Purchaser hereby agrees, on the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, to make its Ratable Share of Purchases deemed to be so requested by Seller above, in such amount as would not cause its Investment after giving effect to such Purchase (and any other Purchase to be made on such date) to exceed its Commitment or cause the Purchasers’ Total Investment to exceed the Purchasers’ Total Commitment.  At no time shall a Conduit Purchaser that is not a Committed Purchaser have any obligation or commitment to make any Purchase.
SECTION 1.2Purchase Procedures; Assignment of Seller’s Interests.
(a)Notice of Purchase.  Each Purchase shall be made on notice from Seller to Administrative Agent and each Purchaser Agent in the form of a Purchase Notice attached hereto as Exhibit I and received by Administrative Agent and each Purchaser Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of such proposed Purchase.  Each such notice of a proposed Purchase shall specify (A) the desired amount and date of such proposed Purchase (which shall be a Business Day), (B) the amount of such proposed Purchase to be allocated to each Purchaser Group in accordance with each Purchaser Group’s Ratable Share and (C) a pro forma calculation of the Asset Interest after giving effect to such Purchase and any other Purchase proposed to be made on such day; provided, however, that, Seller shall not request, and the Purchasers shall not be required to fund, more than 4 Purchases per calendar month.  If any Conduit Purchaser is willing and able, in its sole discretion, to make its Ratable Share of a Purchase requested of it pursuant to this Section 1.2(a) subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such Conduit Purchaser shall make such Purchase by transferring such amount in accordance with clause (b) below on the requested date of such Purchase.  If any Conduit Purchaser in any Purchaser Group is unwilling or unable for any reason to make its Ratable Share of such Purchase or if any Purchaser Group does not contain a Conduit Purchaser, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Committed Purchaser in such Purchaser Group, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, shall make its Ratable Share of such Purchase by transferring such amount in accordance with clause (b) below.
(b)Payment of Purchase Price.  On the date of each Purchase hereunder, the applicable Purchasers, or the related Purchaser Agent, shall, upon satisfaction of the 
-2-








applicable conditions set forth herein (including in Article V), make available to the Seller their Ratable Share of the aggregate Purchase Price with respect to such Purchase in immediately available funds at the following account:
									
	Holder Name:		C.H. Robinson Receivables, LLC
	Bank Name:		U.S. Bank National Association
	Branch:		Nicollet Mall
	SWIFT:		USBKUS44
	Address:		800 Nicollet Mall
			Minneapolis, MN 55402-4302
	Account Number:		XXXX-XXXX-XXXX
	ABA Number:		XXX XXX XXX;




or such other account as designated from time to time by Seller in a written notice to Administrative Agent and each Purchaser Agent (such account, the “SPE Account”).  
(c)Assignment of Asset Interest.  Seller hereby absolutely and irrevocably sells, assigns and transfers to Administrative Agent (on behalf of Purchasers) (ratably, according to each Purchaser’s Investment), upon the payment of the aggregate Purchase Price, effective on and as of the date of each Purchase and Reinvestment hereunder, an undivided ownership interest in all of its right, title and interest in, to and under all Pool Receivables and all Related Assets and all proceeds of any of the foregoing, whether currently owned or existing or thereafter arising, acquired or originated, or in which the Seller now or hereafter has any rights, and wherever so located (the assets so assigned to include not only the Pool Receivables and Related Assets existing as of the date of such Purchase but also all future Pool Receivables and the Related Assets acquired by Seller from time to time as provided in Section 1.3).
On any date the Asset Interest will represent Purchasers’ ownership interest in all then outstanding Pool Receivables and all Related Assets with respect thereto (including all Collections and other proceeds thereof as described in this Section 1.2(c)), as at such date.  On any date, the Asset Interest will be equal to a percentage, expressed as the following fraction:
PTI + RR
NPB
where:
									
	PTI	=	Purchasers’ Total Investment;
	RR	=	the Required Reserves; and
	NPB	=	the Net Portfolio Balance;
			


in each case as of that date; provided that the Asset Interest will remain constant at 100% of the Net Portfolio Balance at all times on and after the Purchase Termination Date until the Final Payout Date.  Administrative Agent’s right, title and interest in, to 
-3-








and under such assets, for the benefit of the Purchasers, is herein called the “Asset Interest”.
(d)Characterization as a Purchase and Sale; Recharacterization.  It is the intention of the parties to this Agreement that the conveyance of Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Asset Interest to Administrative Agent (on behalf of Purchasers) pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute a purchase and sale and not a pledge.  The provisions of this Agreement and all related Transaction Documents shall be construed to further these intentions of the parties. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, the conveyance of the Asset Interest to Administrative Agent (on behalf of Purchasers) is characterized by any Governmental Authority, bankruptcy trustee or any other Person as a pledge, the parties intend that Seller shall be deemed hereunder to have granted, and Seller does hereby grant, to Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Affected Parties) a security interest to secure Seller’s obligations hereunder in the Asset Interest as provided in Section 9.1 hereof.  Such security interest shall be, and the Seller and the Master Servicer shall cause it to be, a first priority perfected security interest.  Each of the parties hereto hereby acknowledges and intends that no Purchase hereunder shall constitute, or be deemed to constitute, a “Security” under U.S. securities laws or within the meaning of the UCC.  The provisions of this Agreement and all related Transaction Documents shall be construed to further these intentions of the parties hereto.
(e)Tax Treatment.  Notwithstanding clause (d) above, it is the intention of the parties hereto that for U.S. federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes, each Purchase will be treated as a loan from the applicable Purchaser to Seller (it being understood that all payments to the Purchasers, in their capacity as such, representing Yield, fees and other amounts accrued under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents shall be deemed to constitute interest payments) (such treatment, the “Intended Tax Treatment”), except as required by applicable law.  The provisions of this Agreement and all related Transaction Documents shall be construed to further these intentions of the parties hereto.
(f)Purchasers Limitation on Payments.  Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to the contrary, none of the Purchasers, Purchaser Agents or Administrative Agent shall, and none of them shall be obligated (whether on behalf of a Purchaser or otherwise) to, pay any amount to Seller as a Reinvestment under Section 1.3, except to the extent that Collections are available for distribution to Seller for such purpose in accordance with this Agreement.  In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, the obligations of any Purchaser that is a commercial paper conduit or similar vehicle under this Agreement and all other Transaction Documents shall be payable by such Purchaser solely to the extent of funds received from Seller in accordance herewith or from any party to any Transaction Document in accordance with the terms thereof in excess of funds necessary to pay such Person’s matured and maturing Commercial Paper Notes or other senior indebtedness when due.  Any amount which Administrative Agent, a Purchaser Agent or a Purchaser is not obligated to pay pursuant to the operation of the two preceding sentences shall not constitute a claim (as defined in § 101 of the Bankruptcy Code) against, or corporate obligation of, any Purchaser Agent, any Purchaser or Administrative Agent, as applicable, for any such insufficiency unless and until such amount becomes available for distribution to Seller pursuant to the terms hereof.
(g)Obligations Not Assumed.  The foregoing sale, assignment and transfer does not constitute, and is not intended to result in, the creation or an assumption by Administrative Agent, any Purchaser Agent or any Purchaser of any obligation or 
-4-








liability of Seller, any Originator, Master Servicer, or any other Person under or in connection with all, or any portion of, the Asset Interest (including the Pool Receivables and Related Assets), all of which shall remain the obligations and liabilities of Seller, Originators, Master Servicer and such other Persons, as applicable.
(h)Obligations.  Each Committed Purchaser’s obligations hereunder shall be several, such that the failure of any Committed Purchaser to make a payment in connection with any Purchase hereunder, shall not relieve any other Committed Purchaser of its obligations hereunder to make payment for any Purchase.
SECTION 1.3Reinvestments of Certain Collections; Payment of Remaining Collections; Asset Interest.  
(a)On the close of business on each Business Day during the period from the Closing Date to the Final Payout Date, Master Servicer shall, on behalf of Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Affected Parties), out of all Collections from Pool Receivables received since the end of the immediately preceding Business Day:
(i)set aside and hold in trust for Administrative Agent on behalf of the Affected Parties, an amount (based on information provided by Administrative Agent pursuant to Article II) equal to the sum of:  (a) the estimated amount of Yield accrued in respect of each Rate Tranche, (b) all other amounts due to Administrative Agent, Purchaser Agents, Purchasers or any other Affected Party hereunder (including Deemed Collections and costs and expenses described in Section 13.6) and (c) the Master Servicing Fee (in each case, accrued through such day and not so previously set aside or anticipated to accrue through the end of the then current Settlement Period, as determined by Master Servicer based upon, among other relevant information, the then outstanding Purchasers’ Total Investment and the Yield Rates then in effect); provided, that in the case of any Exiting Purchaser, the remainder of such Collections (equal to the excess, if any, of all such Collections, over the sum of the amounts described in clauses (a), (b) and (c) above on such day) shall not be reinvested (as described below) after the then-current Purchase Termination Date for such Exiting Purchaser and shall instead be held in trust for the benefit of such Exiting Purchaser (or, if there is more than one Exiting Purchaser on such day, pro rata for the benefit of each such Exiting Purchaser based on such Exiting Purchaser’s Investment) and applied in accordance with clause (ii) below; provided, further, that, so long as Master Servicer is able, on each Business Day and on an equitable and consistent basis, to identify which funds are Collections on Pool Receivables, Master Servicer shall not be required to hold Collections that have been so set aside in a separate deposit account containing only such Collections, and may commingle such Collections with its own funds and funds of it Subsidiaries; it being understood that Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Affected Parties, shall have a claim against Master Servicer to make payments pursuant to Sections 1.3(c), 3.1(b) or 3.1(c) (which claims shall be full recourse to Master Servicer) in an amount equal to the amount of such Collections that have not been set aside but that have been so commingled; provided further, that any commingled amounts, that are not Collections, held in the SPE Account shall be withdrawn from such account within one (1) Business Day following receipt thereof;  provided further, that the Master Servicer shall hold Collections that have been so set aside in a separate deposit account containing only such Collections if the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser Agent has requested that the Master Servicer not commingle or transfer funds during the Liquidation Period, or after the occurrence of any Event 
-5-








of Termination that has not been waived in accordance with this Agreement or after the occurrence of an Unmatured Event of Termination; and
(ii)subject to Sections 3.1(c)(iv) and 3.2(b), apply such Collections as are not required to be set aside and held in trust pursuant to clause (i) above (including any such Collections not set aside but commingled), to pay Seller for additional Pool Receivables and Related Assets with respect to such Pool Receivables (each such purchase being a “Reinvestment”); provided, that, (A) if (I) the sum of the Purchasers’ Total Investment and the Required Reserves would exceed the Net Portfolio Balance, (II) any Purchaser Group Investment would exceed the related Purchaser Group Commitment, (III) the Purchasers’ Total Investment would exceed the Purchasers’ Total Commitment or (IV) the aggregate Investment of any Exiting Purchaser is greater than zero (in each case, at such time and after giving effect to such Reinvestment), then Master Servicer (for the benefit of the Purchasers) shall only make Reinvestments after first setting aside and holding in trust for the benefit of Administrative Agent on behalf of the Affected Parties in accordance with Section 3.4, a portion of such Collections which, together with other Collections previously set aside for such purpose and then so held, shall equal the amount necessary to reduce (i) the Purchasers’ Total Investment to an amount equal to or less than the Purchasers’ Total Commitment, (ii) each Purchaser Group Investment to an amount equal to or less than the related Purchaser Group Commitment, (iii) the sum of the Purchasers’ Total Investment and the Required Reserves at such time to an amount equal to or less than the Net Portfolio Balance and (iv) the aggregate Investment of all Exiting Purchasers to zero, in each case, at such time (any remaining Collections after giving effect to this proviso shall then be applied as described above in this Section 1.3(a)(ii)); and (B) if the conditions precedent to Reinvestment in clause (a), (b), (d) or (e) of Section 5.2 are not satisfied, then Master Servicer shall not apply any of such remaining Collections to a Reinvestment pursuant to this clause (ii).
(b)Unreinvested Collections.  Subject to Sections 1.3(a)(ii) and 3.1(c)(iv), Master Servicer shall set aside and hold in trust for the benefit of Administrative Agent on behalf of the applicable Affected Parties, all Collections which, pursuant to clause (ii) of Section 1.3(a), may not be reinvested in the Pool Receivables and Related Assets; provided, that, so long as Master Servicer is able, on each Business Day and on an equitable and consistent basis, to identify which funds are Collections on Pool Receivables, Master Servicer shall not be required to hold Collections that have been so set aside in a separate deposit account containing only such Collections, and may commingle such Collections with its own funds and funds of its Subsidiaries; it being understood that Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Affected Parties, shall have a claim against Master Servicer to make payments pursuant to Sections 1.3(c), 3.1(b) or 3.1(c) (which claims shall be full recourse to Master Servicer) in an amount equal to the amount of such Collections that have not been set aside but that have been so commingled; provided further, that any commingled amounts, that are not Collections, held in the SPE Account shall be withdrawn from such account within one (1) Business Day following receipt thereof; provided further, that Master Servicer shall hold Collections that have been so set aside in a separate deposit account containing only such Collections if Administrative Agent or any Purchaser Agent has requested that Master Servicer not commingle or transfer funds during the Liquidation Period, or after the occurrence of any Event of Termination that has not been waived in accordance with this Agreement or after the occurrence of an Unmatured Event of Termination.  If, prior to the date when such Collections are required to be paid to the applicable Purchaser Agents for the benefit of the applicable Affected Parties, pursuant to Section 1.3(c), the 
-6-








amount of Collections so set aside exceeds the amount, if any, necessary to reduce (i) the Purchasers’ Total Investment to an amount equal to or less than the Purchasers’ Total Commitment, (ii) each Purchaser Group Investment to an amount equal to or less than the related Purchaser Group Commitment, (iii) the sum of the Purchasers’ Total Investment and the Required Reserves to an amount equal to or less than the Net Portfolio Balance and (iv) the aggregate Investment of all Exiting Purchasers to zero (in each case, at such time), and the conditions precedent to Reinvestment set forth in clauses (a), (b), (d) and (e) of Section 5.2 are satisfied, then Master Servicer shall apply such Collections (or, if less, a portion of such Collections equal to the amount of such excess) in accordance with Section 1.3(a)(ii) to the making of a Reinvestment.
(c)Payment of Amounts Set Aside.
(i)Master Servicer shall pay all amounts of Collections set aside and held in trust pursuant to clause (i) of Section 1.3(a) in respect of Yield on a Rate Tranche not funded by the issuance of Commercial Paper Notes (including under a Liquidity Agreement or an Enhancement Agreement) to the applicable Purchaser Agent on the last day of the then current Yield Period for such Rate Tranche based on information provided by such Purchaser Agent pursuant to Article II, or during the Liquidation Period or after the occurrence of an Event of Termination that has not been waived in accordance with this Agreement, on such earlier date or dates as any such Purchaser Agent shall require on at least two (2) Business Days’ prior written notice to Master Servicer.
(ii)Master Servicer shall pay all amounts of Collections set aside and held in trust pursuant to clause (i) of Section 1.3(a) above and not applied pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 1.3(c) to the applicable Purchaser Agent on the Settlement Date for each Settlement Period, as provided in Section 3.1, or during the Liquidation Period or after the occurrence of an Event of Termination that has not been waived in accordance with this Agreement, on such earlier date or dates as any such Purchaser Agent shall require on at least two (2) Business Days’ prior written notice to Master Servicer.
(iii)Master Servicer shall pay all amounts set aside and held in trust pursuant to Section 1.3(b) above (and not otherwise applied pursuant to the last sentence of such Section) to the applicable Purchaser Agent for the account of the Affected Parties (A) on the last day of the then current Yield Period for any Rate Tranche not funded by the issuance of Commercial Paper Notes in an amount not exceeding each Committed Purchaser’s Tranche Investment of such Rate Tranche (based on information provided by the applicable Purchaser Agent pursuant to Article II), and (B) on the Settlement Date for each Settlement Period, as provided in Section 3.1, in an amount not exceeding each Conduit Purchaser’s Tranche Investment of the Rate Tranche funded by Commercial Paper Notes (based on information provided by the applicable Purchaser Agent pursuant to Article II), or, in the case of clause (A) or clause (B) above, during the Liquidation Period or after the occurrence of an Event of Termination that has not been waived in accordance with this Agreement, on such earlier date or dates as any Purchaser Agent shall require on at least two (2) Business Days’ prior written notice to Master Servicer.
(d)Reduction of Purchasers’ Total Investment.  Neither the Purchasers’ Total Investment, nor the Investment of any Purchaser, shall be reduced by the amount of Collections set aside pursuant to this Section unless and until such Collections are actually received by the applicable Purchaser Agent for application hereunder to reduce 
-7-








Purchasers’ Total Investment and the applicable Purchaser’s Investment in accordance with the terms hereof.
SECTION 1.4Changes in Purchasers’ Total Commitment.  Provided that no Event of Termination, Unmatured Event of Termination or Master Servicer Termination Event exists and is continuing, Seller may request an increase in the Purchasers’ Total Commitment up to an amount not to exceed $500,000,000, ratably among the Purchaser Groups, in a minimum amount of $50,000,000 (or a larger integral multiple of $1,000,000), upon at least thirty (30) days’ (or such lesser time as the Administrative Agent may agree) written notice to Administrative Agent and each Purchaser Agent (a “Commitment Increase Request”), which request shall specify the aggregate amount of any such increase and the applicable Committed Purchasers’ proposed respective portions thereof.  Promptly upon receipt of a Commitment Increase Request, Administrative Agent, each Purchaser Agent and each Committed Purchaser shall notify Seller and Administrative Agent as to whether such Person approves such Commitment Increase Request (it being understood that Administrative Agent, each Purchaser Agent and each Committed Purchaser may accept or decline such Commitment Increase Request in its sole discretion and on such terms as it may elect).  The failure of any Person to affirmatively notify the Seller of such Person’s election regarding such increase request within ten (10) Business Days after its receipt thereof shall be deemed to be a refusal by such Person to grant the requested increase.  If any Committed Purchaser issues a negative response, in whole or in part, or fails to issue a timely response, Seller may request another Committed Purchaser to agree to the declined portion of such increase by issuing another Commitment Increase Request pursuant to this Section 1.4.  In the event that any Committed Purchaser shall approve such Commitment Increase Request, each such Committed Purchasers and the other parties hereto that approved such Commitment Increase Request shall enter into such documents as such Persons may deem necessary or appropriate to reflect such increase with respect to such Purchasers.
ARTICLE II

COMPUTATIONAL RULES
SECTION 2.1Selection of Rate Tranches.  Subject to the requirements set forth in this Article II, each Purchaser Agent shall from time to time, only for purposes of computing Yield with respect to each Purchaser in its Purchaser Group, account for the Asset Interest in terms of one or more Rate Tranches, and the applicable Yield Rate may be different for each Rate Tranche.  Each Purchaser’s Investment shall be allocated to each Rate Tranche by the related Purchaser Agent to reflect the funding sources for each portion of the Asset Interest, so that:
(a)there will be one or more Rate Tranches, selected by each Purchaser Agent, reflecting the portion, if any, of the Asset Interest funded or maintained by its related Committed Purchaser other than through the issuance of Commercial Paper Notes (including by outstanding Liquidity Advances or by funding under an Enhancement Agreement); and
(b)there will be a Rate Tranche, selected by each Purchaser Agent, equal to the excess of aggregate Investment of the Purchasers in its Purchaser Group over the aggregate amounts allocated at such time pursuant to clause (a) above, which Rate Tranche shall reflect the portion of the Asset Interest funded or maintained by Commercial Paper Notes.
Each Purchaser Agent may, in its sole discretion at any time and from time to time, declare any Yield Period applicable to any Investment of a Purchaser in its Purchaser Group to 
-8-








be terminated and allocate the portion of such Purchaser’s Investment allocated to such Yield Period to one or more other Yield Periods and Yield Rates as such Purchaser Agent shall select.
SECTION 2.2Computation of each Purchaser’s Investment and each Purchaser’s Tranche Investment.  In making any determination of any Purchasers’ Total Investment, any Purchaser’s Investment and any Purchaser’s Tranche Investment, the following rules shall apply:
(a)each Purchaser’s Investment shall not be considered reduced by any allocation, setting aside or distribution of any portion of Collections unless such Collections shall have been actually received by the applicable Purchaser Agent in accordance with the terms hereof;
(b)each Purchaser’s Investment (or any other amounts payable under any Transaction Document) shall not be considered reduced (or paid) by any distribution of any portion of Collections or other payments, as applicable, if at any time such distribution or payment is rescinded or must otherwise be returned for any reason; and
(c)if there is any reduction in any Purchaser’s Investment, there shall be a corresponding reduction (in the aggregate) in such Purchaser’s Tranche Investment with respect to one or more Rate Tranches selected by the related Purchaser Agent in its sole discretion (subject to Section 1.3(c)(iii)).
SECTION 2.3Computation of Concentration Limit and Unpaid Balance.  In the case of any Obligor which is an Affiliate of any other Obligor, the Concentration Limit and the aggregate Unpaid Balance of Pool Receivables of such Obligors shall be calculated as if such Obligors were one Obligor.
SECTION 2.4Computation of Yield.  In making any determination of Yield, the following rules shall apply:
(a)Each Purchaser Agent shall determine the Yield accruing with respect to each Rate Tranche for the Purchasers in its Purchaser Group, based on the Yield Period therefor determined in accordance with Section 2.1 and the other terms hereof (or, in the case of the Rate Tranche funded by Commercial Paper Notes, each Settlement Period), in accordance with the definition of Yield;
(b)no provision of this Agreement shall require the payment or permit the collection of Yield in excess of the maximum permitted by applicable Law; and
(c)Yield for any Rate Tranche shall not be considered paid by any distribution or other payment if at any time such distribution or payment is rescinded or must otherwise be returned for any reason.
SECTION 2.5Estimates of Yield Rate, Fees, Etc.  It is understood and agreed that (a) the Yield Rate for any Rate Tranche may change from one applicable Yield Period or Settlement Period to the next, and the applicable Bank Rate, Base Rate or CP Rate used to calculate the applicable Yield Rate may change from time to time and at any time during an applicable Yield Period or Settlement Period, (b) any rate information provided by any Purchaser Agent to Seller or Master Servicer shall be based upon such Purchaser Agent’s good faith estimate, (c) the amount of Yield actually accrued with respect to a Rate Tranche during any Yield Period (or, in the case of the Rate Tranche funded by Commercial Paper Notes, any Settlement Period) may exceed, or be less than, the amount set aside with respect thereto by Master Servicer, and (d) the amount of fees or other amounts payable to any 
-9-








Affected Party accrued hereunder with respect to any Settlement Period may exceed, or be less than, the amount set aside with respect thereto by Master Servicer.  Failure to set aside any amount so accrued shall not relieve Master Servicer of its obligation to remit Collections to the applicable Purchaser Agent or otherwise to any other Person with respect to such accrued amount, as and to the extent provided in Section 3.1.
SECTION 2.6Illegality.  If the Administrative Agent, any Purchaser or Purchaser Agent determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Purchaser to make, maintain or fund any Purchasers' Tranche Investment accruing Yield by reference to the BSBY Rate, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the BSBY Rate then, upon notice thereof by the Administrative Agent or such Purchaser or Purchaser Agent to the Seller (through the Administrative Agent), (a) any obligation of such Purchaser to make or continue any Purchasers' Tranche Investment accruing Yield under the BSBY Rate or to convert such Purchasers' Tranche Investment accruing Yield under the BSBY Rate shall be suspended, and (b) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Purchaser making or maintaining such Purchasers' Tranche Investment accruing Yield under the Base Rate which is determined by reference to the BSBY Rate component of the Base Rate, the rate on which Purchasers' Tranche Investment accruing Yield under the Base Rate of such Purchaser shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the BSBY Rate component of the Base Rate, in each case until such Purchaser notifies the Administrative Agent and the Seller that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist.  Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Seller shall, upon demand from such Purchaser (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Purchasers' Tranche Investment accruing Yield under the BSBY Rate of such Purchaser to Purchasers' Tranche Investment accruing Yield under the Base Rate (the rate on which such Purchasers' Tranche Investment accruing Yield under the Base Rate of such Purchaser shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the BSBY Rate component of the Base Rate), either on the last day of the Yield Period therefor, if such Purchaser may lawfully continue to maintain such Purchasers' Tranche Investment accruing Yield under the BSBY Rate to such day, or immediately, if such Purchaser may not lawfully continue to maintain such Purchasers' Tranche Investment accruing Yield under the BSBY Rate and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Purchaser determining or charging interest rates based upon the BSBY Rate, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Purchaser without reference to the BSBY Rate component thereof until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Purchaser that it is no longer illegal for such Purchaser to determine or charge interest rates based upon the BSBY Rate.  Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Seller shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted., together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 4.3.
SECTION 2.7Inability to Determine Rates.
(a)Inability to Determine Rates.  If in connection with any request for a Purchasers' Tranche Investment accruing Yield under the BSBY Rate or a conversion to or continuation thereof, as applicable, (i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (A) no Successor Rate has been determined in accordance with Section 2.7(b), and the circumstances under clause (i) of Section 2.7(b) or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred (as applicable) or (B) adequate and reasonable means do not otherwise exist for determining BSBY for any requested Yield Period with respect to a proposed Purchasers' Tranche Investment accruing Yield under the BSBY Rate or in connection with an existing or proposed Purchasers' Tranche Investment accruing Yield under the Base Rate, or (ii) the Administrative Agent or the Required Purchasers determine that for any reason the 
-10-








BSBY Rate for any requested Yield Period with respect to a proposed Purchasers' Tranche Investment accruing Yield under the BSBY Rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Purchaser of funding such Purchasers' Tranche Investment accruing Yield under the BSBY Rate, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Seller and each Purchaser and Purchaser Agent.  Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Purchasers to make or maintain Purchasers' Tranche Investment accruing Yield under the BSBY Rate or to convert Purchasers' Tranche Investment accruing Yield under the Base Rate to Purchasers' Tranche Investment accruing Yield under the BSBY Rate, shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Purchasers' Tranche Investment accruing Yield under the BSBY Rate or Yield Periods), and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the BSBY component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the BSBY Rate component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a determination by the Required Purchasers described in clause (ii) of this Section 2.7(a), until the Administrative Agent upon instruction of the Required Purchasers) revokes such notice.  Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Seller may revoke any pending request for a Purchasers' Tranche Investment of, or conversion to, or continuation of such Purchasers' Tranche Investment accruing Yield under the BSBY Rate (to the extent of the affected Purchasers' Tranche Investment accruing Yield under the BSBY Rate or Yield Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Purchasers' Tranche Investment accruing Yield under the Base Rate in the amount specified therein and (ii) any outstanding Purchasers' Tranche Investment accruing Yield under the BSBY Rate shall be deemed to have been converted to Purchasers' Tranche Investment accruing Yield under the Base Rate immediately at the end of their respective applicable Yield Period. 
(b)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Seller or Required Purchasers notify the Administrative Agent (with, in the case of the Required Purchasers, a copy to the Seller) that the Seller or Required Purchasers (as applicable) have determined, that:
(i)adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining one month, three month and six month interest periods of BSBY, including, without limitation, because the BSBY Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or 
(ii)Bloomberg or any successor administrator of the BSBY Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent or Bloomberg or such administrator with respect to its publication of BSBY, in each case acting in such capacity, has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which one month,  three month and six month  interest periods of BSBY or the BSBY Screen Rate shall or will no longer be made available, or permitted to be used for determining the interest rate of U.S. dollar denominated syndicated loans, or shall or will otherwise cease, provided that, at the time of such statement, there is no successor administrator that is satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, that will continue to provide such interest periods of BSBY after such specific date (the latest date on which one month, three month and six month interest periods of BSBY or the BSBY Screen Rate are no longer available permanently or indefinitely, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”); 
then, on a date and time determined by the Administrative Agent (any such date, the “BSBY Replacement Date”), which date shall be at the end of an Yield Period or on the relevant interest 
-11-








payment date, as applicable, for interest calculated and, solely with respect to clause (ii) above, no later than the Scheduled Unavailability Date, BSBY will be replaced hereunder and under any Transaction Document with, subject to the proviso below, the first available alternative set forth in the order below for any payment period for interest calculated that can be determined by the Administrative Agent, in each case, without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (the “Successor Rate”):
(x)    Term SOFR plus the SOFR Adjustment; and
(y)    Daily Simple SOFR plus the SOFR Adjustment; 
provided that, if initially BSBY is replaced with the rate contained in clause (y) above (Daily Simple SOFR plus the SOFR Adjustment) and subsequent to such replacement, the Administrative Agent determines that Term SOFR has become available and is administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, and the Administrative Agent notifies the Seller and each Purchaser of such availability, then from and after the beginning of the Yield Period, relevant interest payment date or payment period for interest calculated, in each case, commencing no less than thirty (30) days after the date of such notice, the Successor Rate shall be Term SOFR  plus the SOFR Adjustment.  
    If the Successor Rate is Daily Simple SOFR plus the SOFR Adjustment, all Yield will be payable on a monthly basis.  
    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) if the Administrative Agent determines that neither of the alternatives set forth in clauses (x) and (y) above is available on or prior to the BSBY Replacement Date, (ii) if the events or circumstances of the type described in Section 2.7(b)(i) or (ii) have occurred with respect to the Successor Rate then in effect or (iii) at any other time as the Administrative Agent and the Seller may agree, then in each case, the Administrative Agent and the Seller may amend this Agreement solely for the purpose of replacing BSBY or any then current Successor Rate in accordance with this Section 2.7 at the end of any Yield Period, relevant interest payment date or payment period for interest calculated, as applicable, with another alternate benchmark rate giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. dollar denominated credit facilities syndicated and agented in the United States for such alternative benchmarks and, in each case, including any mathematical or other adjustments to such benchmark giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. dollar denominated credit facilities syndicated and agented in the United States for such benchmarks, which adjustment or method for calculating such adjustment shall be published on an information service as selected by the Administrative Agent from time to time in its reasonable discretion and may be periodically updated. For the avoidance of doubt, any such proposed rate and adjustments shall constitute a Successor Rate. Any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Purchasers and the Seller unless, prior to such time, Purchaser Agents comprising the Required Purchasers have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Purchasers object to such amendment.
    The Administrative Agent will promptly (in one or more notices) notify the Seller and each Purchaser of the implementation of any Successor Rate.
    Any Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided that to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent, such Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent.
-12-








    Notwithstanding anything else herein, if at any time any Successor Rate as so determined would otherwise be less than 0.00%, the Successor Rate will be deemed to be 0.00% for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.
    In connection with the implementation of a Successor Rate, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement; provided that, with respect to any such amendment effected, the Administrative Agent shall post each such amendment implementing such Conforming Changes to the Seller and the Purchasers reasonably promptly after such amendment becomes effective.
ARTICLE III

SETTLEMENTS
SECTION 3.1Settlement Procedures.
The parties hereto will take the following actions with respect to each Settlement Period:
(a)Information Package.  On the 15th day of each calendar month (or if such day is not a Business Day, the next Business Day) (each, a “Reporting Date” for and related to the Settlement Period ending immediately prior to such date), Master Servicer shall deliver to Administrative Agent and each Purchaser Agent an e-mail attaching an Excel file and a file in .pdf or similar format signed by Master Servicer containing the information described in Exhibit 3.1(a), including the information calculated by Master Servicer pursuant to this Section 3.1 (each, an “Information Package”) for the related Settlement Period; provided, that Administrative Agent may modify, in any reasonable respect, the information required to be provided by Master Servicer in, or the form of, the Information Package upon reasonable prior notice to Master Servicer; provided, further, that during the Liquidation Period or after the occurrence of an Event of Termination that has not been waived in accordance with this Agreement, Administrative Agent or any Purchaser Agent may request, in its sole discretion, Master Servicer to, and Master Servicer agrees to, deliver any information related to the Asset Interest or the transactions contemplated hereby as Administrative Agent or any Purchaser Agent shall request (including a calculation of Required Reserves and each component thereof) on each Business Day.
(b)Yield; Other Amounts Due.  On or before the second (2nd) Business Day prior to the Reporting Date for each Settlement Period, each Purchaser Agent shall notify Master Servicer of (i) the amount of Yield accrued in respect of each related Rate Tranche for the Purchasers in its Purchaser Group during such Settlement Period and (ii) all fees and other amounts accrued and payable or to be paid by Seller under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents on the related Settlement Date (other than amounts described in clause (c) below) to such Purchaser Agent or any Purchaser in, or Affected Party related to, its Purchaser Group.  Seller (or Master Servicer on its behalf), on the Settlement Date for such Settlement Period, or when otherwise required hereunder prior to each such date, shall pay such Yield and all fees and other amounts due in respect of such Settlement Period to the applicable Purchaser Agent out of amounts set aside pursuant to Section 1.3 for such purpose and, to the extent such amounts were not so set aside, Seller hereby agrees to pay such amounts (notwithstanding any limitation on recourse or other liability limitation contained herein to pay such amounts) to the applicable Purchaser Agent.
-13-








(c)Settlement Computations.
(i)Before each Reporting Date, Master Servicer shall compute, as of the most recent Cut-Off Date and based upon the assumption in the next sentence, (A) the Asset Interest, the Unpaid Balance of all of the Pool Receivables, the Purchasers’ Total Investment, the Purchaser Group Investment of each Purchaser Group, the Required Reserves, the Net Portfolio Balance and each component of each of the foregoing, (B) the amount of the reduction or increase (if any) in each of the Asset Interest, the Required Reserves, the Net Portfolio Balance, the Purchaser Group Investment of any Purchaser Group and the Purchasers’ Total Investment since the immediately preceding Cut-Off Date, (C) the excess (if any) of the sum of the Purchasers’ Total Investment and the Required Reserves, over the Net Portfolio Balance, (D) the excess (if any) of the Purchasers’ Total Investment, over the Purchasers’ Total Commitment, (E) the excess (if any) of the Purchaser Group Investment of each Purchaser Group, over the Purchaser Group Commitment of each such Purchaser Group and (F) the aggregate amount of Investment of the Exiting Purchasers, if any.  Such calculations shall be based upon the assumption that Collections set aside pursuant to Section 1.3(b) (and not otherwise applied in accordance with such Section) will be paid to the applicable Purchaser Agent for the benefit of the applicable Purchasers in its Purchaser Group in accordance with the related Purchaser Group’s Ratable Share of such Collections on the Settlement Date for the Settlement Period related to such Reporting Date.
(ii)If, according to the computations made pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 3.1(c), the sum of the Purchasers’ Total Investment and the Required Reserves at such time shall exceed the Net Portfolio Balance at such time, the Purchasers’ Total Investment shall exceed the Purchasers’ Total Commitment, the Purchaser Group Investment of any Purchaser Group shall exceed the Purchaser Group Commitment of such Purchaser Group or the aggregate Investment of Exiting Purchasers shall exceed zero, Master Servicer shall, on behalf of Seller, (i) promptly notify Administrative Agent and each Purchaser Agent thereof and (ii) immediately pay to the applicable Purchaser Agents for the benefit of the applicable Purchasers (to the extent of Collections received during the applicable period and not previously paid to such Purchaser Agents) the amount necessary to reduce (A) the Purchasers’ Total Investment to the Purchasers’ Total Commitment, (B) the sum of the Purchasers’ Total Investment and the Required Reserves at such time to no more than the Net Portfolio Balance at such time, (C) the Purchaser Group Investment of each Purchaser Group to the Purchaser Group Commitment of each such Purchaser Group and (D) the aggregate Investment of all Exiting Purchasers to zero, subject, however, to Section 1.3(c)(iii).
(iii)The payment described in clause (ii) of this Section 3.1(c) shall be made out of amounts set aside pursuant to Section 1.3 for such purpose and, to the extent such amounts were not so set aside, Seller hereby agrees to pay such amounts (notwithstanding any limitation on recourse or other liability limitation contained herein to pay such amounts) to Master Servicer during the relevant Settlement Period.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above, on any date on or prior to the Final Payout Date, if the sum of the Purchasers’ Total Investment and the Required Reserves at such time exceeds the Net Portfolio Balance at such time, Master Servicer shall immediately pay to each Purchaser Agent (ratably, based on the Purchaser Group Investment of such Purchaser Agent’s Purchaser Group at such time) from amounts held in trust, or that should have been so held, pursuant to Section 1.3(a)(i), an amount equal to such excess.
-14-








(iv)In addition to the payments described in clause (ii) of this Section 3.1(c), during the Liquidation Period or after the occurrence of an Event of Termination that has not been waived in accordance with this Agreement, Master Servicer shall pay to each Purchaser Agent the Ratable Share of its Purchaser Group all other Collections on all Pool Receivables, whether or not required to be set aside pursuant to Section 1.3 on the dates specified pursuant to Section 1.3(c).
(d)Order of Application.  Master Servicer (for the benefit of the Affected Parties) shall distribute the funds required to be distributed pursuant to this Section 3.1 with respect to any Settlement Period, in the following order of priority:
(i)to each Purchaser Agent ratably (based on the aggregate accrued and unpaid Yield) Yield accrued and unpaid on all Rate Tranches for the Purchasers in its Purchaser Group howsoever funded or maintained during the related Settlement Period;
(ii)to each Purchaser Agent ratably (based on the aggregate accrued and unpaid Program Fee) the accrued and unpaid Program Fee for its Purchaser Group;
(iii)to the Master Servicer all accrued and unpaid Master Servicing Fee (if Master Servicer is not CHR or an Affiliate thereof);
(iv)to each Purchaser Agent ratably (based on the aggregate accrued and unpaid Commitment Fee) the accrued and unpaid Commitment Fee for its Purchaser Group;
(v)to Administrative Agent and each Purchaser Agent ratably (based on the aggregate accrued and unpaid amounts owing to such Person) accrued and unpaid amounts owed to Administrative Agent and each Purchaser Agent hereunder (including all fees payable to Administrative Agent, Purchaser Agents and Purchasers pursuant to the Fee Letter other than fees paid pursuant to clause (i), (ii) or (iv) above);
(vi)to each Purchaser Agent ratably (based on the related Purchaser Group Investment), the reduction of Purchasers’ Total Investment, to the extent such reduction is required under Section 3.1(c) or 3.2(b) or, during the Liquidation Period or after the occurrence of an Event of Termination that has not been waived in accordance with this Agreement, with respect to each Purchaser Group, first, to pay any outstanding Commercial Paper Notes funding or maintaining the related Purchaser Group Investment and second, to ratably reduce the remainder of the related Purchaser Group Investment;
(vii)to each Affected Party (or the related Purchaser Agent on their behalf) ratably (based on the aggregate accrued and unpaid Obligations) accrued and unpaid Obligations owed to such Affected Parties; and
(viii)to the Master Servicer all accrued and unpaid Master Servicing Fee (if Master Servicer is CHR or an Affiliate thereof).
(e)Non-Distribution of Master Servicing Fee.  If Administrative Agent and each Purchaser Agent consent (which consent is granted as of the Closing Date but which consent shall be deemed to have been revoked upon the occurrence of an Event of 
-15-








Termination or an Unmatured Event of Termination that has not been waived in accordance with this Agreement), the amounts (if any) set aside by Master Servicer pursuant to Section 1.3 in respect of the Master Servicing Fee may be retained by Master Servicer or any permitted Sub-Servicer for its own account.  To the extent Master Servicer sets aside and retains such amounts, no distribution shall be made in respect of the Master Servicing Fee pursuant to clause (d)(iii) or clause (d)(viii) above.
(f)Delayed Payment.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if, on any day for payment described in this Section 3.1 (or in Section 1.3(c) in respect of accrued Yield on Rate Tranches funded by Liquidity Advances or under an Enhancement Agreement), Collections during the relevant Settlement Period or Yield Period were less than the aggregate amounts payable hereunder, Master Servicer shall not make any payment otherwise required, and the next available Collections in respect of the Asset Interest shall be applied to such payment, and no Reinvestment shall be permitted hereunder until such amount payable has been paid in full.  The foregoing shall not limit or otherwise affect the full recourse nature of Seller’s obligations hereunder.
SECTION 3.2Deemed Collections; Reduction of Purchasers’ Total Investment, Etc.  
(a)Deemed Collections.  If on any day:
(i)the Unpaid Balance of any Pool Receivable is:
(A)reduced or cancelled as a result of Dilution or otherwise;
(B)less than the amount included in calculating the Net Portfolio Balance for purposes of any Information Package (for any reason other than such Pool Receivable becoming a Defaulted Receivable or due to the application of Collections received with respect to such Pool Receivable);  or
(C)otherwise extended, amended or otherwise modified, or any term or condition of any related Contract is amended, modified or waived (except as expressly permitted under Section 8.2(b));
(ii)any of the representations or warranties of Seller set forth in (A) Section 6.1 were untrue when made or (B) Sections 6.1(d), or (k)  are no longer true with respect to any Pool Receivable as determined by Administrative Agent or any Purchaser Agent;
then, on such day, Seller shall be deemed to have received a Collection of such Pool Receivable and Seller shall pay to the Purchaser Agents on the next Settlement Date (or during the Liquidation Period or after the occurrence of an Event of Termination that has not been waived in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, within two (2) Business Days from the event giving rise to such Deemed Collection) for application as provided in this Agreement an amount equal to:
(1)in the case of clauses (i)(A) or (B) above, in the amount of such reduction or cancellation or the difference between the actual Unpaid Balance (as determined immediately prior to the applicable event) and the amount included in respect of such Pool Receivable in calculating the Net Portfolio Balance or, with respect to clause (i)(C) above, in the amount 
-16-








that such extension, amendment, modification or waiver affects the Unpaid Balance of the related Pool Receivable in the sole determination of Administrative Agent, as applicable; or
(2)in the case of clause (ii) above, in the amount of the entire Unpaid Balance of the relevant Pool Receivable or Pool Receivables (as determined immediately prior to the applicable event) with respect to which such representations or warranties were or are untrue.
Collections deemed received by Seller under this Section 3.2(a) are herein referred to as “Deemed Collections”.
(b)Seller’s Optional Reduction of Purchasers’ Total Investment.  Seller may at any time and from time to time elect to reduce (in whole or in part) Purchasers’ Total Investment as follows:
(i)Seller shall give Administrative Agent and each Purchaser Agent written notice of such elected reduction no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the proposed date of reduction.  Each such notice shall specify (A) the amount of such proposed reduction, (B) the source of the funds to be used by Seller to make such reduction, which may be either (I) funds available to Seller that are not otherwise being held in trust pursuant to this Agreement (including amounts contributed to Seller by CHR for purposes of making such reduction) (any such reduction, an “Immediate Reduction”) or (II) Collections to be received by Seller on and after the date of such notice (any such reduction, an “Accumulating Reduction”), (C) with respect to any Immediate Reduction, the proposed date on which such reduction will occur and (D) with respect to any Accumulating Reduction, the proposed date on which such reduction will commence;
(ii)with respect to any Accumulating Reduction, on the proposed date of commencement of such reduction and on each day thereafter, Master Servicer shall refrain from reinvesting Collections pursuant to Section 1.3 until the amount thereof not so reinvested shall equal the desired amount of reduction;
(iii)with respect to any Immediate Reduction, on the proposed date on which such reduction will occur, the Master Servicer (on behalf of Seller) shall pay to each Purchaser Agent ratably (based on the related Purchaser Group Investment), the reduction of Purchasers’ Total Investment.  Any accrued and unpaid Yield and Program Fee with respect to such reduction along with any amounts owing under Section 4.3 with respect thereto shall be paid by Seller on the immediately following Settlement Date;  
(iv)with respect to any Accumulating Reduction, the Master Servicer shall hold such Collections in trust for Purchasers, pending payment to the applicable Purchaser Agents, as provided in Section 1.3; provided, that,
    (A)    the amount of any such reduction shall be not less than $5,000,000 and shall be an integral multiple of $100,000; and 
-17-








    (B)    Seller shall use reasonable efforts to choose a reduction amount, and the date of commencement thereof, so that such reduction shall commence and conclude in the same Settlement Period.
SECTION 3.3Payments and Computations, Etc.  
(a)Payments.  All amounts to be paid to, or deposited by Seller, Master Servicer or Performance Guarantor with, Administrative Agent, any Purchaser Agent or any other Person hereunder (other than amounts payable under Section 4.2) shall be paid or deposited in accordance with the terms hereof no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the day when due in U.S. Dollars in same day funds to the applicable account set forth on Schedule II or to such other account as Administrative Agent or any Purchaser Agent, as applicable, shall designate in writing to Master Servicer from time to time.
(b)Late Payments.  Seller or Master Servicer, as applicable, shall, out of amounts set aside pursuant to Section 1.3 for such purpose and to the extent permitted by Law, pay to the applicable Purchaser Agent, for the benefit of the applicable Affected Party, interest on all amounts not paid or deposited by such party on the date when due hereunder at an annual rate equal to 2.0% above the Base Rate, payable on demand, provided, that such interest rate shall not at any time exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable Law.
(c)Method of Computation.  All computations of interest, Yield, Liquidation Discount, any fees payable under Section 4.1 and any other fees payable by Seller to any Purchaser, any Purchaser Agent, Administrative Agent or any other Affected Party in connection with Purchases hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) elapsed (except that calculations with respect to the Prime Rate shall be on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be).
(d)Payment of Currency and Setoff.  All payments by Seller or Master Servicer to any Affected Party or any other Person shall be made in U.S. Dollars and without set-off or counterclaim. Any of Seller’s or Master Servicer’s obligations hereunder shall not be satisfied by any tender or recovery of another currency except to the extent such tender or recovery results in receipt of the full amount of U.S. Dollars.
(e)Taxes.   Except to the extent required by applicable Law, any and all payments and deposits required to be made hereunder, under any other Transaction Document or under any instrument delivered hereunder or thereunder to any Affected Party or otherwise hereunder or thereunder by Seller or Master Servicer shall be made free and clear of, and without withholding or deduction for, any and all present or future Taxes.    If Seller, Master Servicer or the Administrative Agent shall be required by Law to make any such withholding or deduction, (A) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, Seller (or Master Servicer, on its behalf) shall make an additional payment to such Affected Party, in an amount sufficient so that, after making all required withholdings or deductions (including withholdings or deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.3(e)), such Affected Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholdings or deductions been made, (B) Seller (or Master Servicer, on its behalf), Master Servicer or the Administrative Agent shall make such withholding or deduction and (C) Seller (or Master Servicer, on its behalf), Master Servicer or the Administrative Agent shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law.
-18-








(ii)Seller will indemnify each Affected Party for the full amount of (A) Indemnified Taxes (including any Indemnified Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section paid by such Affected Party, as the case may be, and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) payable by such Affected Party and (B) Taxes that arise because a Purchase or the Asset Interest is not treated for U.S. federal, state or local income or franchise tax purposes consistently with the Intended Tax Treatment (such indemnification will include any U.S. federal, state or local income and franchise taxes necessary to make such Affected Party whole on an after-tax basis taking into account the taxability of receipt of payments under the this clause (B) and any reasonable expenses (other than Taxes) arising out of, relating to, or resulting from the foregoing).  Any indemnification under this Section 3.3(e)(ii) shall be paid on the next Settlement Date (or during the Liquidation Period or after the occurrence of an Event of Termination that has not been waived in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, within two (2) Business Days) after the date any Affected Party makes written demand therefor, together with a statement of reasons for such demand and the calculations of such amount. Such calculations, if made in good faith, absent manifest error, shall be final and conclusive on all parties. 
(iii)Each Purchaser shall severally indemnify Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Purchaser (but only to the extent that Seller has not already indemnified Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of Seller to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Purchaser’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 13.3(e) relating to the maintenance of a Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Purchaser, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Transaction Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Purchaser by Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Each Purchaser hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Purchaser under any Transaction Document or otherwise payable by Administrative Agent to such Purchaser from any other source against any amount due to Administrative Agent under this Section 3.3(e)(iii). 
(iv)Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes deducted or withheld by any of Seller or Master Servicer, as applicable, in respect of any payment to any Affected Party, Seller or Master Servicer, as applicable, will furnish to Administrative Agent and each Purchaser Agent, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof (or other evidence satisfactory to Administrative Agent). 
(v)Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement contained herein, the agreements and obligations contained in this Section shall survive the payment in full of Obligations hereunder. 
(vi)Each Affected Party that is not a “United States person,” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of a transferee that is a participation holder, on or before the date such transferee becomes a participation holder hereunder), deliver to the Master 
-19-








Servicer and Administrative Agent such certificates, documents or other evidence, as required by the Code or Treasury Regulations issued pursuant thereto, including Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, Form W-8BEN-E, Form W-8ECI, or any other applicable certificate or statement of exemption, properly completed and duly executed by such Affected Party (or such transferee) establishing that payment made to such Affected Party (or such transferee) is (i) not subject to United States Federal withholding Tax under the Code because such payments are effectively connected with the conduct by such Affected Party (or such transferee) of a trade or business in the United States, (ii) exempt or entitled to a reduction from United States Federal withholding tax under a provision of an applicable Tax treaty, or (iii) eligible for the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, in which case such Affected Party (or such transferee) shall also deliver a certificate to the effect that such Affected Party (or such transferee) is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of Seller, within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” related to Seller as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code. In addition, each such Affected Party (or such transferee) shall, if legally able to do so, thereafter deliver such certificates, documents or other evidence from time to time establishing that payments received hereunder are not subject to, or subject to a reduced rate of, such withholding upon receipt of a written request therefor from Seller or Administrative Agent. Unless Seller and Administrative Agent have received forms or other documents satisfactory to them indicating that payments hereunder are not subject to, or subject to a reduced rate of, United States Federal withholding Tax, Seller or Administrative Agent shall withhold such Taxes from such payments at the applicable statutory rate as provided in Section 3.3(e)(i). 
(vii)Each Affected Party that is a “United States person,” shall, on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of a transferee that is a participation holder, on or before the date such transferee becomes a participation holder hereunder), deliver to Seller and Administrative Agent such certificates, documents or other evidence, as required by the Code or Treasury Regulations issued pursuant thereto, including Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or any other applicable certificate or statement of exemption properly completed and duly executed by such Affected Party establishing that payment made to such Affected Party is not subject to United States Federal backup withholding Tax under the Code. In addition, each such Affected Party shall, if legally able to do so, thereafter deliver such certificates, documents or other evidence from time to time establishing that payments received hereunder are not subject to such withholding upon receipt of a written request therefor from Seller or Administrative Agent. Unless Seller and Administrative Agent have received forms or other documents satisfactory to them indicating that payments hereunder are not subject to United States Federal backup withholding Tax, Seller or Administrative Agent shall withhold such Taxes from such payments at the applicable statutory rate. 
(viii)Each Affected Party that is entitled to any exemption or reduction of non-U.S. withholding tax with respect to any payment under this Agreement shall, on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of a transferee that is a participation holder, on or before the date such transferee becomes a participation holder hereunder) or upon the reasonable request of Seller or Administrative Agent, deliver to Seller and Administrative Agent such certificates, documents or other evidence as may reasonably be requested by 
-20-








Seller, establishing that such payment is not subject to, or is subject to a reduced rate of, withholding.   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the delivery of such certificates, documents or other evidence shall not be required if in the Affected Party’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Affected Party to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Affected Party. 
(ix)Seller (or Master Servicer, on its behalf) shall not be required to pay any additional amounts to any Affected Party in respect of any withholding Tax pursuant to paragraph (i) above to the extent that the obligation to pay such additional amounts would not have arisen but for a failure by such Affected Party to comply with the requirements of the preceding paragraph (vi), (vii) or (viii) unless such failure is attributable to (i) a change in applicable law, regulation or official interpretation thereof or (ii) an amendment or modification to or a revocation of any applicable Tax treaty or a change in official position regarding the application or interpretation thereof, in each case on or after the date such Affected Party became a party to this Agreement. 
(x)Any Affected Party claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 3.3  shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policies and legal and regulatory restrictions) to, at the expense of Master Servicer, change the jurisdiction of its applicable lending office if such change would avoid the need for or reduce the amount of any such additional amounts which may thereafter accrue and would not, in the sole determination of such Affected Party, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Affected Party.
(xi)If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund in respect of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section, it shall promptly repay such refund to the indemnifying party (to the extent of amounts that have been paid by the indemnifying party under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes imposed with respect to such refund) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than interest paid by the relevant taxing authority with respect to such refund); provided, however, that the indemnified party, upon the request of such indemnifying party, agrees to return such refund (plus penalties, interest or other charges) to such indemnifying party in the event such indemnifying party is required to repay such refund to the applicable taxing authority. Nothing in this Section shall obligate any Affected Party to apply for any refund.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (xi), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (xi) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. 
(xii)If a payment made to an Affected Party under any Transaction Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Affected Party were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Affected Party shall deliver to Seller and Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or 
-21-








times reasonably requested by Seller or Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Seller or Administrative Agent as may be necessary for Seller and Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Affected Party has complied with such Affected Party’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this paragraph (xii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. 
(xiii)Nothing contained in this Section shall require any Affected Party to make available any of its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems to be confidential).
SECTION 3.4Treatment of Collections and Deemed Collections.  Subject to Section 3.2(a), Seller shall immediately deliver to Master Servicer all Deemed Collections, and Master Servicer shall hold or distribute such Deemed Collections as Yield, accrued Master Servicing Fee, repayment of Purchasers’ Total Investment or as otherwise applicable hereunder to the same extent as if such Collections had actually been received on the date of such delivery to Master Servicer.  So long as Seller or Master Servicer shall hold any Collections (including Deemed Collections) required to be paid to Master Servicer, any Purchaser, any Purchaser Agent or Administrative Agent, Seller or Master Servicer shall hold and apply such Collections in accordance with Section 1.3 and Section 3.2, as applicable, and shall clearly mark its master data processing records to reflect the same.  Seller shall promptly enforce all obligations of Originators under the Sale Agreement, including, payment of Deemed Collections (as defined in the Sale Agreement).
SECTION 3.5Extension of the Purchase Termination Date.  Provided that no Event of Termination, Unmatured Event of Termination or Master Servicer Termination Event exists and is continuing, no earlier than six months prior to (but no later than 60 days prior to) the then current Purchase Termination Date, Seller may request an extension of the then current Purchase Termination Date by submitting a request for an extension (each, an “Extension Request”) to Administrative Agent and each Purchaser Agent.  Such Extension Request must specify (i) the new Purchase Termination Date requested by Seller and (ii) the date (which must be at least 45 days after the applicable Extension Request is delivered to Administrative Agent and each Purchaser Agent) as of which Administrative Agent, each Purchaser Agent and each Purchaser is requested to respond to such Extension Request by (each, a “Response Date”).  Promptly upon receipt of an Extension Request, Administrative Agent, each Purchaser Agent and each Purchaser shall notify Seller and Administrative Agent as to whether such Person approves such Extension Request (it being understood that Administrative Agent, each Purchaser Agent and each Purchaser may accept or decline such Extension Request in its sole discretion and on such terms as it may elect).  The failure of any Person to affirmatively notify the Seller of such Person’s election regarding such extension request by the applicable Response Date shall be deemed to be a refusal by such Person to grant the requested extension.  In the event that any Purchaser shall approve such Extension Request, each such Purchasers and the other parties hereto that approved such Extension Request shall enter into such documents as such Persons may deem necessary or appropriate to reflect such extension with respect to such Purchasers.  In the event that any Purchaser declines an Extension Request (any such declining Purchaser, an “Exiting Purchaser”), such Exiting Purchaser shall so notify Seller, Administrative Agent and each of the other parties hereto of such Exiting Purchaser’s determination.  If any Committed Purchaser becomes an Exiting Purchaser, such Committed Purchaser’s Commitment shall automatically be reduced to zero on the then-current Purchase Termination Date, without giving effect to any other Purchaser’s agreement to extend the Purchase Termination Date, if any.

The servicing, administering and collection of the Pool Receivables on behalf of Administrative Agent, Purchaser Agents and Purchasers shall be conducted by the Person designated as Master Servicer hereunder (“Master Servicer”) from time to time in accordance with this Section 8.1.

In the event that a Master Servicer Termination Event has occurred and has not been waived in accordance with this Agreement, Administrative Agent shall have the right, upon notice 10 Business Days’ notice to CHR and Seller, to immediately designate a successor Master Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof (a “Successor Notice”).  Upon receipt of a Successor Notice, CHR agrees that it shall terminate its activities as Master Servicer hereunder in a manner that Administrative Agent reasonably believes will facilitate the transition of the performance of such activities to the successor Master Servicer, and Administrative Agent (or its designee) shall assume each and all of CHR’s obligations to service and administer the Pool Receivables, on the terms and subject to the conditions herein set forth, and CHR shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist Administrative Agent (or its designee) in assuming such obligations.  Such cooperation shall include access to and transfer of records and use by the new Master Servicer of all records, licenses, hardware or software necessary or desirable to collect the Receivables and the Related Assets.  Administrative Agent agrees not to give CHR a Successor Notice except after the occurrence of any Master Servicer Termination Event that has not been waived in accordance with this Agreement.

(b)Automatic Liquidation.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Termination described in Section 10.1(d), the Purchase Termination Date shall occur and the Liquidation Period shall commence automatically.
(c)Remedies.  Upon, or at any time after, the declaration or automatic occurrence of the Purchase Termination Date pursuant to this Section 10.2, no Purchases or Reinvestments thereafter will be made.  Upon the declaration or automatic occurrence of the Purchase Termination Date pursuant to this Section 10.2, Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Affected Parties, shall have, in addition to all other rights and remedies under this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or otherwise, (i) all other rights and remedies provided under the UCC of each applicable jurisdiction and other applicable Laws (including all the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the UCC (including the right to sell any or all of the Collateral subject hereto)) and (ii) all rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral granted pursuant to Section 9.1, all of which rights shall be cumulative.
(d)Specific Remedies.   Without limiting Section 10.2(c) or any other provision herein or in any other Transaction Document, the parties hereto agree that the terms of this Section 10.2(d) are agreed upon in accordance with Section 9-603 of the New York UCC, that they do not believe the terms of this Section 10.2(d) to be “manifestly unreasonable” for purposes of Section 9-603 of the New York UCC, and 
-63-








that compliance therewith shall constitute a “commercially reasonable” disposition under Section 9-610 of the New York UCC, and further agree as follows:
(ii)After the occurrence of the Purchase Termination Date, Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Affected Parties, shall have all rights, remedies and recourse granted in any Transaction Document and any other instrument executed to provide security for or in connection with the payment and performance of the Obligations or existing at common Law or equity (including specifically those granted by the New York UCC and the UCC of any other state which governs the creation or perfection (and the effect thereof) of any security interest in the Collateral), and such rights and remedies: (A) shall be cumulative and concurrent; (B) may be pursued separately, successively or concurrently against Seller, Master Servicer and any Originator and any other party obligated under the Obligations, or any of such Collateral, or any other security for the Obligations, or any of them, at the sole discretion of Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Affected Parties; (C) may be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall arise, it being agreed by Seller, Master Servicer, any Originator and any other party obligated under the Obligations that the exercise or failure to exercise any of same shall in no event be construed as a waiver or release thereof or of any other right, remedy or recourse; and (D) are intended to be and shall be, non exclusive.  For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any disposition of the Collateral or any part thereof (including any purchase by Administrative Agent, any Affected Party, or any Affiliate of any of them) in accordance with the terms of this Section 10.2 for consideration which is insufficient, after payment of all related costs and expenses of every kind, to satisfy the Obligations, (1) such disposition shall not act as, and shall not be deemed to be, a waiver of any rights by Administrative Agent or the Affected Parties and Administrative Agent on behalf of the Affected Parties shall have a claim for such deficiency and (2) Administrative Agent shall not be liable or responsible for any such deficiency.
Upon the declaration or automatic occurrence of the Purchase Termination Date pursuant to Section 10.2(a) or Section 10.2(b), Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Affected Parties, shall have the right, in accordance with this Section 10.2(d), to dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof upon giving at least three (3) days’ prior notice to Seller and Master Servicer of the time and place of disposition, for cash or upon credit or for future delivery, with Seller and Master Servicer hereby waiving all rights, if any, to require Administrative Agent or any other Person to marshal the Collateral and at the option and in the complete discretion of Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent may:
    (I)    dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof at a public disposition; 
    (II)    dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof at a private disposition, in which event such notice shall also contain a summary of the material terms of the proposed disposition, and Seller shall have until the time of such proposed disposition during which to redeem the Collateral or to procure a Person willing, ready and able to acquire the Collateral on terms at least as favorable to Seller and the Affected Parties, and if such an acquirer is so procured, then Administrative Agent shall dispose of the Collateral to the acquirer so procured; 
    (III)    dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof in bulk or parcels;
-64-








    (IV)    dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof to any Affected Party or any Affiliate thereof at a public disposition; 
    (V)    bid for and acquire, unless prohibited by applicable Law, free from any redemption right, the Collateral or any part thereof, and, if the Affected Parties are then the holders of any Obligations or any participation or other interest therein, in lieu of paying cash therefor, Administrative Agent on behalf of the Affected Parties may make settlement for the selling price by crediting the net selling price, if any, after deducting all costs and expenses of every kind, upon the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations, in such order and manner as Administrative Agent on behalf of the Affected Parties, in its discretion, may deem advisable and as permissible and required under the Transaction Documents.  Administrative Agent for the benefit of Affected Parties, upon so acquiring the Collateral or any part thereof shall be entitled to hold or otherwise deal with or dispose of the same in any manner not prohibited by applicable Law; or
    (VI)    enforce any other remedy available to Administrative Agent on behalf of the Affected Parties at Law or in equity.
From time to time Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, postpone the time and change the place of any proposed disposition of any of the Collateral for which notice has been given as provided above and may retain the Collateral until such time as the proposed disposition occurs if, in the sole discretion of Administrative Agent, such postponement or change is necessary or appropriate in order that the provisions of this Agreement applicable to such disposition may be fulfilled or in order to obtain more favorable conditions under which such disposition may take place.  Seller and Master Servicer each acknowledges and agrees that private dispositions may be made at prices and upon other terms less favorable than might have been attained if the Collateral were disposed of at public disposition. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent permitted by Law, Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any disposition of the Collateral or any part thereof notwithstanding any prior notice of a proposed disposition. No demand, advertisement or notice, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Seller and Master Servicer to the extent permitted by Law, shall be required in connection with any disposition of the Collateral or any part thereof, except for the notice described in this clause (ii).  
In case of any disposition by Administrative Agent of any of the Collateral on credit, which may be elected at the option and in the complete discretion of Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Affected Parties, the Collateral so disposed may be retained by Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Affected Parties until the disposition price is paid by the purchaser, but neither Administrative Agent nor the Affected Parties shall incur any liability in case of failure of the purchaser to take up and pay for the Collateral so disposed.  In case of any such failure, such Collateral so disposed may be again disposed.
After deducting all costs or expenses of every kind (including the attorneys’ fees and legal expenses incurred by Administrative Agent or the Affected Parties, or both), Administrative Agent shall apply the residue of the proceeds of any disposition or dispositions, if any, to pay the principal of and interest upon the Obligations in such order and manner as Administrative Agent in its discretion may deem advisable and as permissible and required under the Transaction Documents.  The excess, if any, shall be paid to Seller in accordance with the Transaction Documents.  Neither Administrative Agent nor the Affected Parties shall incur any liability as a result of the dispositions of the Collateral at any private or public disposition that complies with the provisions of this Section 10.2(d). 
-65-








Notwithstanding a foreclosure upon any of the Collateral or exercise of any other remedy by Administrative Agent on behalf of the Affected Parties in connection with any Purchase Termination Date, neither Seller nor Master Servicer shall be subrogated thereby to any rights of Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Affected Parties against the Collateral or any other security for the Obligations, nor shall Seller or Master Servicer be deemed to be the owner of any interest in any Obligations, or exercise any rights or remedies with respect to itself or any other party until the Obligations (other than any Indemnified Amounts that have not then been requested under this Agreement) have been paid to Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Affected Parties and are fully and indefeasibly performed and discharged.
Administrative Agent shall have no duty to prepare or process the Collateral for disposition.
