the Seller, the SPV or the Servicer has accrued or established a reserve therefor. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) any reference in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to the amount of any Contractual Dilution shall be to the
greater of the reduction that may apply to such Receivable and the accrual or reserve established by the Originator, the Seller, the Servicer or the SPV, as applicable, in respect of any such reduction and (ii) Contractual Dilutions do not

Days Sales Outstanding: For any Monthly Period, the number of calendar days equal to the product of (a) ninety one (91) and (b) the

past due as of such Month End Date and (b) the aggregate Unpaid Balance of all Receivables which became Charged-off Receivables (other than Specified Ineligible Receivables) during such Monthly Period, by (ii) the aggregate amount

without duplication, of the aggregate reduction effected on such day in the Unpaid Balance of such Receivable attributable to any non-cash items including credits, rebates, billing errors, sales or

  
 7

 Article II 
 Purchases and Settlements 
 Section 2.1 Transfer of Affected
Assets; Intended Characterization. 
 (a) Sale of Asset Interest. In consideration of the payment by the Agent (on
behalf of the Conduit Investors or the related Alternate Investors as determined pursuant to Section 2.3) of the amount of the initial Net Investment on the Closing Date and the Agent’s agreement (on behalf of the Conduit Investors
or the related Alternate Investors as determined below) to make payments to the SPV from time to time in accordance with Section 2.2, effective upon the SPV’s receipt of payment for such initial Net Investment on the Closing Date,
the SPV hereby sells, conveys, transfers and assigns to the Agent, on behalf of the Investors, as their interests may from time to time appear, (i) all Receivables existing on the Closing Date or thereafter arising or acquired by the SPV from
time to time prior to the Final Payout Date, and (ii) all other Affected Assets, whether existing on the Closing Date or thereafter arising at any time. 
 (b) Purchase of Asset Interest. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Agent (on behalf of the Investors) hereby purchases and accepts from the SPV the Receivables and all other Affected
Assets sold, assigned and transferred pursuant to subsection (a). The Agent’s right, title and interest in and to the Receivables and all other Affected Assets hereunder is herein called the “Asset Interest”.
The Agent shall hold the Asset Interest on behalf of the Conduit Investors and the Alternate Investors, as applicable pro rata in accordance with their respective Investor Percentages. 

(c) 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 the Agent, the Class Agent or any Investor, of any obligation of the SPV, the Seller, the Originator, or any other Person under or in connection with the Receivables or any other Affected Asset, all of which shall
remain the obligations and liabilities of the SPV, the Seller and the Originator, as applicable. 
 (d) Intended
Characterization; Grant of Security Interest. 
 (i) The SPV, the Agent, the Class Agents and the Investors
intend that the sale, assignment and transfer of the Affected Assets to the Agent (on behalf of the Conduit Investors and/or the Alternate Investors as applicable) hereunder shall be treated as a sale for all purposes, other than federal and state
income tax and accounting purposes. If notwithstanding the intent of the parties, the sale, assignment and transfer of the Affected Assets to the Agent (on behalf of the Investors) is not treated as a sale for all purposes, other than federal and
state income tax and accounting purposes, the sale, assignment and transfer of the Affected Assets shall be treated as the grant of, and the SPV hereby does grant, a security interest in the Affected Assets to secure the payment and performance of
the SPV’s obligations to the Agent (on behalf of the Conduit Investors and/or the Alternate Investors as applicable) hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents or as may be determined in connection therewith by applicable Law.

  
 23 

 (ii) Each of the parties hereto further expressly acknowledges and agrees
that the Commitments of the Alternate Investors hereunder, regardless of the intended true sale nature of the overall transaction, are financial accommodations (within the meaning of Section 365(c)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code) to or for the
benefit of SPV. 
 Section 2.2 Purchase Price. 

Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, including Article V, in consideration for the sale, assignment and transfer of the
Affected Assets by the SPV to the Agent (on behalf of the Conduit Investors and/or the Alternate Investors, as applicable) hereunder: 
 (a) Investments. On the Closing Date, and thereafter from time to time during the Reinvestment Period, on request of the SPV in accordance with Section 2.3, each Class Agent (on behalf
of the related Conduit Investors or the related Alternate Investors, as determined pursuant to Section 2.3) shall pay to the SPV an amount equal, in each instance, to the lesser of (i) the related Class Pro Rata Share of the amount
requested by the SPV under Section 2.3(a), and (ii) the largest amount that will not cause (A) the Class Net Investment to exceed the Class Maximum Net Investment, (B) the sum of the Class Net Investment and the related
Class Pro Rata Share of the Required Reserves to exceed the related Class Pro Rata Share of the Net Pool Balance and (C) if such Investment Date occurs during the period beginning on the Closing Date through and including the Reporting Date in
June 2009, the Net Investment to exceed $150,000,000. Each such payment is herein called an “Investment”. 
 (b) Reinvestments. On each Business Day during the Reinvestment Period the Servicer, on behalf of each Class Agent (for the benefit of the related Conduit Investors and/or the related Alternate
Investors, as applicable), shall apply out of Collections of Receivables, the amount available for Reinvestment in accordance with Section 2.14. Each such payment is hereinafter called a “Reinvestment”. All
Reinvestments shall be made ratably on behalf of each Investor that has funded any portion of the Net Investment pro rata in accordance with its respective Investor Percentage. 

(c) SPV Payments Limited to Collections. Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Agent and
the Class Agents shall not, and shall not be obligated (whether on behalf of the Conduit Investors or the Alternate Investors), to pay any amount to the SPV as the purchase price of Receivables pursuant to subsection (b) above except to
the extent of Collections on Receivables available for distribution to the SPV in accordance with this Agreement. Any amount which the Agent or any Class Agent (whether on behalf of the related Conduit Investors or the related Alternate Investors)
does not pay pursuant to the preceding sentence shall not constitute a claim (as defined in §101 of the Bankruptcy Code) against, or corporate obligation of, the Agent or such Class Agent for any such insufficiency unless and until such amount
becomes available for distribution to the SPV under Section 2.12. 
 Section 2.3 Investment
Procedures. 
 (a) Notice. The SPV shall request an Investment hereunder, by request to the Agent and each Class
Agent given by facsimile in the form of an Investment Request at least two (2) Business Days prior to the proposed date of any Investment (including the initial Investment). 

  
 24 

 
Each such Investment Request shall specify (i) the desired amount of such Investment (which shall be at least $2,000,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, to the
extent that the then available unused portion of the Maximum Net Investment is less than such amount, such lesser amount equal to such available unused portion of the Maximum Net Investment) and (ii) the desired date of such Investment (the
“Investment Date”) which shall be a Permitted Investment Date. 
 (b) Conduit Investor Acceptance or
Rejection; Investment Request Irrevocable. 
 (i) Each Class Agent will promptly notify the related Investors
of its receipt of any Investment Request with respect to its Class. If the Investment Request is received prior to the Conduit Investment Termination Date, each Conduit Investor shall instruct the related Class Agent to accept or reject such
Investment Request by notice given to the related Class Agent by telephone or facsimile by no later than the close of its business on the Business Day following its receipt of any such Investment Request. Following receipt of such instructions from
the related Conduit Investors, each Class Agent shall promptly notify the SPV and the related Alternate Investors of the acceptance or rejection by the related Conduit Investors of the Investment Request. 

(ii) Each Investment Request shall be irrevocable and binding on the SPV, and the SPV shall indemnify each Investor
against any loss or expense incurred by such Investor, either directly or indirectly (including, in the case of any Conduit Investor, through a Program Support Agreement) as a result of any failure by the SPV to complete such Investment, including
any loss (including loss of profit) or expense incurred by any Class Agent and any related Investor, either directly or indirectly (including, in the case of any Conduit Investor, pursuant to a Program Support Agreement) by reason of the liquidation
or reemployment of funds acquired by such Investor (or the applicable Program Support Provider(s)) (including funds obtained by issuing commercial paper or promissory notes or obtaining deposits or loans from third parties) in order to fund such
Investment. 
 (c) Alternate Investors’ Commitment. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set
forth in Sections 5.1 and 5.2 and the other terms and conditions hereof, each Alternate Investor hereby agrees to make available its Alternate Investor Percentage of the related Class Pro Rata Share of each
Investment during the period from and including the Closing Date to but not including the Commitment Termination Date in an amount up to its Commitment. Subject to Section 2.2(b) concerning Reinvestments, at no time will the Conduit
Investors have any obligation to fund an Investment or Reinvestment. At all times on and after the Conduit Investment Termination Date, all Investments and Reinvestments shall be made by the related Class Agent on behalf of the related Alternate
Investors. In addition, at any time when a Conduit Investor has rejected a request to fund its Class Pro Rata Share of an Investment, the related Class Agent shall so notify the related Alternate Investors and such Alternate Investors shall make
available their respective Alternate Investor Percentages of the related Class Pro Rata Share of such Investment. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 2.3(c) or elsewhere in this Agreement to the contrary, no Alternate
Investor shall be obligated to provide the related Class Agent or the SPV with funds in connection with an Investment or Reinvestment in an amount that would result in the portion of the related Class Net Investment then funded by

  
 25 

 
it (after giving effect to any Investment to be funded on such day) exceeding its Commitment then in effect (minus the unrecovered principal amount of such Alternate Investor’s investments
in the Asset Interest pursuant to the Program Support Agreement to which it is a party). The obligation of each Alternate Investor to remit its Alternate Investor Percentage of any such Class Pro Rata Share of any Investment or Reinvestment shall be
several from that of each other Alternate Investor, and the failure of any Alternate Investor to so make such amount available to the related Class Agent shall not relieve any other Alternate Investor of its obligation hereunder. 

(d) Payment of Investment. On any Investment Date, each Conduit Investor or the related Alternate Investor, as the case may be,
shall remit its pro rata share of the aggregate amount of such Investment (determined pursuant to Section 2.2(a)) to the account of the SPV specified therefor from time to time by the Agent by notice to such Persons by wire
transfer of same day funds. 
 (e) Agent May Advance Funds. Unless the Agent shall have received notice from any Investor
that such Person will not make its share of any Investment available on the applicable Investment Date therefor, the Agent may (but shall have no obligation to) make any such Investor’s share of any such Investment available to the SPV in
anticipation of the receipt by the Agent of such amount from the applicable Investor. To the extent any such Investor fails to remit any such amount to the Agent after any such advance by the Agent on such Investment Date, such Investor, and if such
Investor does not, upon the request of the Agent, the SPV, shall be required to pay such amount to the Agent for payment to the Agent for its own account, together with interest thereon at a per annum rate equal to the Federal Funds
Rate, in the case of such Investor, or the Base Rate, in the case of the SPV, to the Agent for payment to such Agent (provided that no Conduit Investor shall have any obligation to pay such interest amounts except to the extent that it shall
have sufficient funds to pay the face amount of its respective Commercial Paper in full). Until such amount shall be repaid, such amount shall be deemed to be Net Investment paid by the Agent and the Agent shall be deemed to be the owner of an
interest in the Asset Interest hereunder to the extent of such Investment. Upon the payment of such amount to the Agent (i) by the SPV, the amount of the Net Investment shall be reduced by such amount or (ii) by such Investor, such payment
shall constitute such Person’s payment of its share of the applicable Investment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the parties hereto agrees that, prior to the Termination Date, any amount to be paid by the SPV under this
Section 2.3(e) will be payable on the next succeeding Settlement Date pursuant to and in accordance with the priorities for payment set forth in Section 2.12 hereof. 

(f) Defaulting Alternate Investor. If, by 2:00 p.m. (New York City time), whether or not the Agent has advanced the amount of the
applicable Investment, one or more Alternate Investors with respect to a Class (each, a “Defaulting Alternate Investor”, and each Alternate Investor with respect to such Class other than any Defaulting Alternate Investor
being referred to as a “Non-Defaulting Alternate Investor”) fails to make either (1) its Alternate Investor Percentage of the related Class Pro Rata Share of any Investment available to the Agent pursuant to
Section 2.3(d) or (2) any Assignment Amount payable by it pursuant to Section 3.1 (the aggregate amount not so made available to the Agent being herein called in either case the “Investment
Deficit”), then the related Class Agent shall, by no later than 2:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the applicable Investment Date or the applicable Assignment Date, as the case may be, instruct each Non-Defaulting Alternate Investor to
pay, by no later than 3:00 p.m. (New York 

  
 26 

 
City time), in immediately available funds, to the account designated by the related Class Agent, an amount equal to the lesser of (i) such Non-Defaulting Alternate Investor’s
proportionate share (based upon the relative Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Alternate Investors) of the Investment Deficit and (ii) its unused Commitment. A Defaulting Alternate Investor shall forthwith, upon demand, pay to the related Class
Agent for the ratable benefit of the Non-Defaulting Alternate Investors all amounts paid by each Non-Defaulting Alternate Investor on behalf of such Defaulting Alternate Investor, together with interest thereon, for each day from the date a payment
was made by a Non-Defaulting Alternate Investor until the date such Non-Defaulting Alternate Investor has been paid such amounts in full, at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate. In addition, if, after giving effect to the
provisions of the immediately preceding sentence, any Investment Deficit with respect to any Assignment Amount continues to exist, each such Defaulting Alternate Investor shall pay interest to the related Class Agent, for the account of the related
Conduit Investor, on such Defaulting Alternate Investor’s portion of such remaining Investment Deficit, at a rate per annum, equal to the Default Rate, for each day from the applicable Assignment Date until the date such
Defaulting Alternate Investor shall pay its portion of such remaining Investment Deficit in full to such Conduit Investor. 

Section 2.4 Determination of Yield and Rate Periods. 

(a) Portions of Investment. From time to time, for purposes of determining the Rate Periods applicable to the different portions of
the related Class Net Investment and of calculating Yield with respect thereto, each Class Agent shall allocate its related Class Net Investment to one or more tranches (each a “Portion of Investment”). At any time, each
Portion of Investment shall have only one Rate Period and one Rate Type. For the avoidance of doubt, at any time when the related Class Net Investment is not divided into more than one portion, “Portion of Investment” means 100% of the
related Class Net Investment. 
 (b) [Reserved]. 
 (c) Definitions Applicable to Yield Calculation; Yield Calculation. As used in this Section 2.4, the following terms shall have the following meanings (such meanings to be equally
applicable to both the singular and plural forms of the terms defined): 
 Alternate Rate: For any Rate Period for any
Portion of Investment, an interest rate per annum equal to: (a) the daily average LMIR for such Rate Period or (b) if the Base Rate is applicable pursuant to Section 2.4(d), the daily average Base Rate for such
Rate Period. The “Alternate Rate” for any date on or after the declaration or automatic occurrence of Termination Date pursuant to Section 8.2 shall be an interest rate equal to the Default Rate in effect on such
day. 
 Base Rate: For any day a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the highest of (a) the Federal
Funds Rate for such day, plus .50%, (b) the rate of interest in effect for such day as publicly announced from time to time by the Agent as its “reference rate” or “prime rate” and (c) the daily average LMIR for
the related Rate Period. The “reference rate” or “prime rate” is a rate set by the Agent based upon various factors including the Agent’s costs and desired return, general economic conditions and other factors, and is used
as a reference point for pricing 

  
 27 

 
some loans, which may be priced at, above, or below such announced rate, and is not necessarily the lowest rate charged to any customer. Any change in the “reference rate” or
“prime rate” announced by the Agent shall take effect at the opening of business on the day specified in the public announcement of such change. 
 CP Rate: For any Conduit Investor and any Rate Period for any Portion of Investment, the per annum rate equivalent to the weighted average cost (as determined by the related Class
Agent and which shall include commissions of placement agents and dealers, incremental carrying costs incurred with respect to Commercial Paper related to the Conduit Investor that is a member of such Class maturing on dates other than those on
which corresponding funds are received by such Conduit Investor (or its related commercial paper issuer if the Conduit Investor does not itself issue commercial paper), other borrowings by such Conduit Investor (other than under any Program Support
Agreement) and any other costs associated with the issuance of Commercial Paper related to the Conduit Investor that is a member of such Class) of or related to the issuance of Commercial Paper related to the Conduit Investor that is a member of
such Class that is allocated, in whole or in part, by such Conduit Investor or the related Class Agent to fund or maintain such Portion of Investment (and which may be also allocated in part to the funding of other assets of such Conduit Investor);
provided, however, that if any component of such rate is a discount rate, in calculating the “CP Rate” for such Conduit Investor for such Portion of Investment for such Rate Period, such Conduit Investor (or
such related commercial paper issuer) shall for such component use the rate resulting from converting such discount rate to an interest bearing equivalent rate per annum. 

Federal Funds Rate: For any day, the rate per annum (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest 1/100 of 1%) equal
to the weighted average of the rates on overnight Federal funds transactions with members of the Federal Reserve System arranged by Federal funds brokers on such day, as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York on the Business Day next
succeeding such day; provided that (a) if such day is not a Business Day, the Federal Funds Rate for such day shall be such rate on such transactions on the next preceding Business Day as so published on the next succeeding Business Day,
and (b) if no such rate is so published on such next succeeding Business Day, the Federal Funds Rate for such day shall be the average rate charged to the Agent on such day on such transactions as determined by it. 

LMIR: For any day, the one-month Eurodollar rate for U.S. dollar deposits (which shall, for so long as such rate is compiled by the
British Bankers Association, be and refer to an average British Bankers Association Interest Settlement Rate), as reported on the Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page or any other page that may replace such page from time to time for the purpose of
displaying offered rates for London interbank deposits in United States dollars, as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such day, or if such day is not a Business Day, then the immediately preceding Business Day (or if not so reported, then as determined
by the Agent from another recognized source for interbank quotation), in each case, changing when and as such rate changes. 

  
 28 

 Rate Period: Unless otherwise mutually agreed by a Class Agent for any Portion of
Investment funded by the related Class and the SPV, (a) with respect to any Portion of Investment funded by the issuance of Commercial Paper, (i) initially the period commencing on (and including) the date of the initial purchase or
funding of such Portion of Investment and ending on (and including) the last day of the current calendar month, and (ii) thereafter, each period commencing on (and including) the first day after the last day of the immediately preceding Rate
Period for such Portion of Investment and ending on (and including) the last day of the current calendar month; and (b) with respect to any Portion of Investment not funded by the issuance of Commercial Paper, (i) initially the period
commencing on (and including) the date of the initial purchase or funding of such Portion of Investment and ending on (but excluding) the next following Settlement Date, and (ii) thereafter, each period commencing on (and including) a
Settlement Date and ending on (but excluding) the next following Settlement Date; provided, that: 
 (A) any Rate
Period with respect to any Portion of Investment (other than any Portion of Investment accruing Yield at the CP Rate) which would otherwise end on a day which is not a Business Day shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day;
provided, however, if Yield in respect of such Rate Period is computed by reference to LMIR, and such Rate Period would otherwise end on a day which is not a Business Day, and there is no subsequent Business Day in the same calendar
month as such day, such Rate Period shall end on the next preceding Business Day; 
 (B) in the case of any Rate Period for any
Portion of Investment which commences before the Termination Date and would otherwise end on a date occurring after the Termination Date, such Rate Period shall end on such Termination Date and the duration of each Rate Period which commences on or
after the Termination Date shall be of such duration as shall be selected by the related Class Agent; and 
 (C) any Rate Period
in respect of which Yield is computed by reference to the CP Rate may be terminated at the election of the Class Agent for the Class funding the related Portion of Investment at any time, in which case such Portion of Investment shall be allocated
by the related Class Agent to a new Rate Period commencing on (and including) the date of such termination and ending on (but excluding) the next following Settlement Date, and shall accrue Yield at the Alternate Rate. 

Rate Type: LMIR, the Base Rate or the CP Rate. 

  
 29 

 Yield: For any Portion of Investment: 

(i) during any Rate Period to the extent a Conduit Investor funds such Portion of Investment through the issuance of Commercial Paper
(directly or indirectly through a related commercial paper issuer), 
 CPR x I x D 

360 
 (ii) funded
by an Alternate Investor and for any Portion of Investment to the extent a Conduit Investor will not be funding such Portion of Investment through the issuance of Commercial Paper (directly or indirectly through a related commercial paper issuer),

 AR x I x D 
 Year 
 where: 

 

							
		 	AR	  	=	  	the Alternate Rate for such Portion of Investment for such Rate Period,
				
		 	CPR	  	=	  	the CP Rate for such Portion of Investment for such Rate Period (as determined by the related Class Agent on or prior to the fifth Business Day of the calendar month next
following such Rate Period),
				
		 	D	  	=	  	the actual number of days during such Rate Period,
				
		 	I	  	=	  	the weighted average of such Portion of Investment during such Rate Period, and
				
		 	Year	  	=	  	if such Portion of Investment is funded at an Alternate Rate determined by reference to (i) LMIR, 360 days and (ii) the Base Rate, 365 or 366 days, as
applicable;

 provided that no provision of the Agreement shall require the payment or permit the collection of
Yield in excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law; and provided, further, that at all times after the declaration or automatic occurrence of the Termination Date pursuant to Section 8.2, Yield for all Portion of
Investment shall be determined as provided in clause (ii) of this definition. 

  
 30 

 (d) Inability to Determine LMIR. 

(i) If, on any day (A) the Agent determines in its reasonable judgment that it is unable to obtain on a timely basis
the information necessary to determine LMIR for any proposed Rate Period or (B) with respect to any outstanding Rate Period, any Class Agent notifies the Agent that any of the Investors that comprise any of its Class has determined in its
reasonable judgment that (1) deposits in U.S. dollars are not being offered to banks in the interbank eurodollar market for such day or (2) the Alternate Rate determined by reference to LMIR applicable to such Portion of Investment will
not adequately reflect the cost to the Person of funding or maintaining such Portion of Investment for such Rate Period, then (I) the Agent shall forthwith so notify the SPV and the Investors and (II) upon such notice and thereafter, until
the Agent notifies the SPV that such circumstances no longer exist, the Agent, the Class Agents and the Investors shall not allocate any Portion of Investment or reallocate any Portion of Investment, to a Rate Period with respect to which Yield is
calculated by reference to the Alternate Rate determined by reference to LMIR, all Portions of Investment that have been allocated to a Rate Period to which the Alternate Rate determined by reference to LMIR applies shall be automatically allocated
to a new Rate Period to which the Alternate Rate determined by reference to the Base Rate (without reference to clause (c) of the definition thereof) applies, the Rate Period to which such Alternate Rate determined by reference to LMIR
applied terminated on such day and all Portions of Investment that have been allocated to a Rate Period to which the Alternate Rate determined by reference to the Base Rate applies shall be automatically allocated to a new Rate Period to which the
Alternate Rate determined by reference to the Base Rate (without reference to clause (c) of the definition thereof) applies. 
 (ii) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Conduit Investor or any Alternate Investor, as applicable, shall notify the Agent that such Person has determined (which determination
shall be final and conclusive) or has been notified by any Program Support Provider that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any Law makes it unlawful (either for such Conduit Investor, such Alternate Investor, or such
Program Support Provider, as applicable), or any central bank or other Official Body asserts that it is unlawful, for such Conduit Investor, such Alternate Investor or such Program Support Provider, as applicable, to fund the purchases or
maintenance of any Portion of Investment accruing Yield calculated by reference to LMIR, then (A) as of the effective date of such notice from such Person to the Agent, the obligation or ability of such Conduit Investor or such Alternate
Investor, as applicable, to fund the making or maintenance of any Portion of Investment accruing Yield calculated by reference to LMIR shall be suspended until such Person notifies the Agent that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer
exist and (B) each Portion of Investment made or maintained by such Person accruing Yield calculated by reference to LMIR shall be deemed to accrue Yield at the Base Rate (without reference to clause (c) of the definition thereof)
from the effective date of such notice until the end of such Rate Period. 
 Section 2.5 Yield, Fees and Other Costs
and Expenses. 
 Notwithstanding any limitation on recourse herein, the SPV shall pay, as and when due in accordance with
this Agreement, all fees hereunder and under the Fee Letters, Yield, all amounts payable pursuant to Article IX, if any, and the Servicing Fees. On each Settlement Date, the SPV shall pay to the PNC Bank Class Agent the Facility Fee, payable
in arrears. On each 

  
 31 

 
Settlement Date, to the extent not paid pursuant to Section 2.12 for any reason, the SPV shall pay to each Class Agent, on behalf of the Conduit Investors or the Alternate Investors,
as applicable, an amount equal to the accrued and unpaid Yield for the related Rate Period. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit in any way the obligations of the SPV to pay the amounts set forth in this Section 2.5. 

Section 2.6 Deemed Collections. 
 (a) Dilutions. If on any day the Unpaid Balance of a Receivable is reduced or such Receivable is canceled as a result of any Dilution, the SPV shall be deemed to have received on such day a
Collection of such Receivable in the amount of the Unpaid Balance (as determined immediately prior to such Dilution) of such Receivable (if such Receivable is canceled) or, otherwise in the amount of such reduction, and the SPV shall pay to the
Servicer an amount equal to such Deemed Collection and such amount shall be applied by the Servicer as a Collection in accordance with Section 2.12. 
 (b) Breach of Representation or Warranty. If on any day any of the representations or warranties in Article IV was or becomes untrue with respect to a Receivable (whether on or after the
date of transfer thereof to the Agent, for the benefit of the Investors, as contemplated hereunder), the SPV shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection of such Receivable in full and the SPV shall on such day pay to the Servicer an
amount equal to the Unpaid Balance of such Receivable and such amount shall be allocated and applied by the Servicer as a Collection in accordance with Section 2.12. 

(c) Any payment by the SPV required to made under this Section 2.6 shall be paid as soon as possible from the SPV’s
share of Collections and, in any event, shall become due and payable on the earlier to occur of (i) the next Settlement Date after the obligation to make such payment arises and (ii) the Termination Date. 

Section 2.7 Reductions in Net Investment; Payments and Computations, Etc. 

(a) The SPV may, on any Settlement Date occurring at least the Required Notice Days after the date of the SPV’s notice to the Agent
and each Class Agent, reduce all or any portion of the outstanding Net Investment at such time (together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon at such time and, in connection with a reduction of all of the Net Investment, together with all
other Aggregate Unpaids). Any such reduction shall be accomplished by payment by the SPV to each Class Agent, in reduction of the Net Investment, the related Class Pro Rata Share of the amount of such reduction (together with any accrued and unpaid
interest thereon at such time and, in connection with a reduction of all of the Net Investment, together with all other Aggregate Unpaids) (it being understood that neither the Net Investment nor any Class Net Investment shall be deemed reduced by
such payment unless and until, and then only to the extent that, such amount is finally paid to the related Class Agent); provided that the amount of such repayment shall not be less than $1,000,000. 

  
 32 

 (b) All amounts to be paid or deposited by the SPV or the Servicer hereunder shall be paid
or deposited in accordance with the terms hereof no later than 12:00 p.m. (noon) (New York City time) on the day when due in immediately available funds; if such amounts are payable to the Agent (whether on behalf of any Investor or otherwise) they
shall be paid or deposited in the account indicated under the heading “Payment Information” in Section 11.3, until otherwise notified by the Agent. The SPV shall, to the extent permitted by Law, pay to the Agent, for the
benefit of the Investors, upon demand, interest on all amounts not paid or deposited when due hereunder at a rate equal to the Default Rate. All computations of Yield and all per annum fees hereunder shall be made on the basis of a
year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first but excluding the last day) elapsed. Any computations by the Agent of amounts payable by the SPV hereunder shall be binding upon the SPV absent manifest error. 

Section 2.8 Reports. 
 By no later than 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the 20th day of each calendar month, or if such day is not a Business Day then on the next succeeding Business Day (and, after the occurrence of a Termination Event, within two (2) Business Days after a
request from the Agent or any Class Agent) (each, a “Reporting Date”), Servicer shall prepare and forward to the Agent and each Class Agent a Servicer Report, certified by the Originator, the Seller and the Servicer. Prior to
the Closing Date and once a calendar year, the Servicer, at its expense, will cause to be prepared a report by an accounting firm or other firm specializing in due diligence matters, which firm shall be satisfactory to the Agent, setting forth the
results of such firm’s application of the agreed upon procedures set forth on Exhibit I. 
 The Agent may require
the Servicer to prepare more frequent reports. Upon receipt of such request for more frequent reporting, the Servicer shall provide to the Agent and each Class Agent all reports regarding the Receivables and Collections that are available to the
Servicer in accordance with its then current accounts receivable system without the Servicer manually preparing such reports. The Agent acknowledges that such additional reports may not include all of the information provided in the monthly Servicer
Reports. 
 If, on any day, (a) the average of the three (3) most recent Trigger Delinquency Ratios exceeds five and
one half percent (5.50%), (b) the average of the three (3) most recent Trigger Default Ratios exceeds one and three quarters of one percent (1.75%) or (c) the average of the three (3) most recent Trigger Dilution Ratios
exceeds seven and one half percent (7.50%), then for so long as any of those conditions continue to exist (such period of time being an “Exception Funding Period”), any Class Agent may require the Servicer to deliver to each
Class Agent, within one (1) Business Day after the end of each week any portion of which constituted an Exception Funding Period, an Interim Report covering the week most recently then-ended, in the form attached hereto as
 Exhibit K.

 Any Exception Funding Period shall terminate upon delivery to each Class Agent by the Servicer of a Servicer Report
evidencing that the conditions described in clauses (a), (b) and (c), as applicable, of the immediately preceding paragraph no longer exist. 

  
 33 

 Section 2.9 Collection Account. 

The Agent shall establish in its name on the day of the initial Investment hereunder and shall maintain a segregated account (the
“Collection Account”), bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Agent, on behalf of the Investors. The Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control over the
Collection Account and all monies, instruments and other property from time to time in the Collection Account. On and after the occurrence of a Termination Event or a Potential Termination Event, the Servicer shall remit within two Business Days of
receipt to the Collection Account all Collections received. Funds on deposit in the Collection Account (other than investment earnings) shall be invested by the Agent, in the name of the Agent, in Eligible Investments that will mature so that such
funds will be available so as to permit amounts in the Collection Account to be paid and applied on the next Settlement Date and otherwise in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.12; provided that such funds shall not
reduce the Net Investment or accrued Yield hereunder until so applied under Section 2.12. On each Settlement Date, all interest and earnings (net of losses and investment expenses) on funds on deposit in the Collection Account shall be
applied as Collections in accordance with Section 2.12. On the Final Payout Date, any funds remaining on deposit in the Collection Account shall be paid to the SPV. 

Section 2.10 Sharing of Payments, Etc. 
 If any Investor (for purposes of this Section only, being a “Recipient”) shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff,
or otherwise) on account of the portion of the Asset Interest owned by it (other than pursuant to the Fee Letter, Section 3.3(b) or Article IX and other than as a result of the differences in the timing of the applications of
Collections pursuant to Section 2.12 and other than a result of the different methods for calculating Yield) in excess of its ratable share of payments on account of the Asset Interest obtained by the Investors entitled thereto, such
Recipient shall forthwith purchase from the Investors entitled to a share of such amount participations in the portions of the Asset Interest owned by such Persons as shall be necessary to cause such Recipient to share the excess payment ratably
with each such other Person entitled thereto; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such Recipient, such purchase from each such other Person shall be rescinded and each such
other Person shall repay to the Recipient the purchase price paid by such Recipient for such participation to the extent of such recovery, together with an amount equal to such other Person’s ratable share (according to the proportion of
(a) the amount of such other Person’s required payment to (b) the total amount so recovered from the Recipient) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the Recipient in respect of the total amount so recovered. 

Section 2.11 Right of Setoff. 
 Without in any way limiting the provisions of Section 2.10, each Class Agent and each Investor is hereby authorized (in addition to any other rights it may have) at any time after the
occurrence of the Termination Date due to the occurrence of a Termination Event or during the continuance of a Potential Termination Event to set-off, appropriate and apply (without presentment, demand, protest or other notice which are hereby
expressly waived) any deposits and any other indebtedness held or owing by such Class Agent or such Investor to, or for the account of, the SPV against the amount of the Aggregate Unpaids owing by the SPV to such Person or to the Agent on behalf of
such Person (even if contingent or unmatured). 

  
 34 

 Section 2.12 Settlement Procedures. 

(a) Daily Procedure. The Servicer, on behalf of the SPV and for the benefit of the Agent, the Class Agents and the Investors, shall
on a daily basis manage the Collections of Receivables received or deemed received by the SPV or the Servicer on such day in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and in such a manner that the SPV shall have sufficient funds available (to
the extent of the Collections of Receivables received or deemed received) at all times, including on each Settlement Date, to pay its obligations due on such day, including, without limitation, managing Investments, Reinvestments and Deemed
Collections and setting aside an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the greatest of: (A) if the SPV shall have elected to reduce the Net Investment under Section 2.13, the amount of the proposed reduction, (B) the
amount, if any, by which the sum of the Net Investment and Required Reserves shall exceed the Net Pool Balance (minus any portion of the Required Reserves attributable to such excess), together with the amount, if any, by which the Net Investment
shall exceed the Maximum Net Investment, and (C) if such day is on or after the Termination Date, the Net Investment; over (ii) the aggregate of the amounts theretofore set aside for such purposes. To the extent and for so long as such
Collections may not be reinvested pursuant to Section 2.2(b), the Servicer shall hold such Collections in trust for the benefit of the Agent. 
 (b) Settlement Procedures. 
 (i) The Servicer shall deposit into
each Class Agent’s account, on each Business Day selected by the SPV for a reduction of the Net Investment under Section 2.13 the related Class Pro Rata Share of the amount of Collections held for the Agent pursuant to
Section 2.12(a)(ii). 
 (ii) On any date on or prior to the Termination Date, if the sum of the Net
Investment and Required Reserves exceeds the Net Pool Balance the Servicer shall immediately pay to each Class Agent’s account from amounts set aside pursuant to clause (ii) or clause (iii) of Section 2.12(a)
an amount equal to the related Class Pro Rata Share of such excess (minus any portion of the Class Pro Rata Share of Required Reserves attributable to such excess). 

(iii) On each Settlement Date, the Servicer shall deposit to each Class Agent’s account: 

(A) out of the amounts set aside pursuant to clause (i) of Section 2.12(a) and not theretofore
deposited in accordance with Section 2.12(b), an amount equal to the accrued and unpaid Yield, Servicing Fee, Program Fee and Facility Fee for the related Rate Period together with any other Aggregate Unpaids (other than Net Investment)
then due to the related Class; and 
 (B) out of the amount, if any, set aside pursuant to clause
(ii) and (to the extent not theretofore reinvested) clause (iii) of Section 2.12(a) and not theretofore deposited to such Class Agent’s account pursuant to this Section 2.12(b), an amount
equal to related Class Pro Rata Share of the lesser of such amount and the Net Investment; 

  
 35 

 provided, however, that if the Agent gives its consent (which consent may be revoked at any
time), the Servicer may retain amounts which would otherwise be deposited in respect of accrued and unpaid Servicing Fee, in which case no distribution shall be made in respect of such Servicing Fee under clause (c) below. Any amounts
set aside pursuant to Section 2.12(a) in excess of the amount required to be deposited in the Class Agents’ accounts pursuant to this subsection (b) shall continue to be set aside and held in trust by the Servicer for
application on the next succeeding Settlement Date(s). 
 (c) Order of Application. Upon receipt by a Class Agent on any
Yield Payment Date of funds deposited pursuant to subsection (b)(iii)(A) above, such Class Agent shall distribute them to the Investors in its Class, pro rata based on the amount of accrued and unpaid Yield owing to
each of them, in payment of the accrued and unpaid Yield on the related Portions of Investment for the related Rate Period. Upon receipt by a Class Agent of funds deposited pursuant to any other provision of subsection (b), such Class
Agent shall distribute them to the Persons, for the purposes and in the order of priority set forth below: 
 (i)
to the related Investors, pro rata based on the amount of accrued and unpaid Yield, Program Fee and Facility Fee owing to each of them, in payment of the accrued and unpaid Yield, Program Fee and Facility Fee on the Portions of
Investment for the related Rate Period for such Class; 
 (ii) if the Seller or any Affiliate of the Originator
is not then the Servicer, to the Servicer in payment of the related Class Pro Rata Share of the accrued and unpaid Servicing Fee payable on such Settlement Date; 

(iii) to the related Investors, pro rata based on their respective interests in the Asset Interest
(based upon the respective portions of the Class Net Investment owned by each of them) except as otherwise provided in Section 3.3(b), in reduction of the related Class Net Investment; 

(iv) to the Agent, itself, the related Investors or such other Person as may be entitled to such payment, in payment of
the related Class Pro Rata Share of any other Aggregate Unpaids owed by the SPV hereunder to such Person (other than Net Investment, Yield and Servicing Fee); and 

(v) if the Seller or any Affiliate of the Originator is the Servicer, to the Servicer in payment of the related Class Pro
Rata Share of the accrued Servicing Fee payable on such Settlement Date, to the extent not paid pursuant to clause (ii) above or retained pursuant to subsection (b) above. 

Section 2.13 Optional Reduction of Net Investment. 

The SPV may at any time elect to cause the reduction of the Net Investment as follows: 

(a) the SPV shall instruct the Servicer to (and the Servicer shall) set aside Collections and hold them in trust for the Agent under
clause (ii) of Section 2.12(a) until the amount so set aside shall equal the desired amount of reduction; and 

  
 36 

 (b) on each Settlement Date occurring at least the Required Notice Days after the date of
the SPV’s notice, the Servicer shall pay to each Class Agent, in reduction of the Net Investment, the related Class Pro Rata Share of the amount of such Collections so held or, if less, the related Class Net Investment (it being understood that
neither the Net Investment nor any Class Net Investment shall be deemed reduced by any amount set aside or held pursuant to this Section 2.13 unless and until, and then only to the extent that, such amount is finally paid to the related
Class Agent as aforesaid); provided that, the amount of any such reduction shall be not less than $1,000,000. 

Section 2.14 Application of Collections Distributable to SPV. 

Unless otherwise instructed by the SPV, the Servicer shall allocate and apply, on behalf of the SPV, Collections distributable to the SPV
hereunder first, to the payment to the Seller of the purchase price of new Receivables in accordance with the Second Tier Agreement and/or to Reinvestments as described in Section 2.2(b), second, to the payment or provision
for payment of the SPV’s operating expenses, as instructed by the SPV, third, to the repayment to the Seller of Advances (as defined in the Second Tier Agreement) pursuant to Section 3.2(b)(i) of the Second Tier Agreement,
subject to Section 6.2(k), fourth, to the payment of interest on Advances to the Seller pursuant to Section 3.2(b)(ii) of the Second Tier Agreement, subject to Section 6.2(k) and fifth, as directed
from time to time by the SPV. 
 Section 2.15 Collections Held in Trust. 

So long as the SPV or the Servicer shall hold any Collections or Deemed Collections then or thereafter required to be paid by the SPV to
the Servicer or by the SPV or the Servicer to the Agent, it shall hold such Collections in trust, and, if requested by the Agent after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Termination Event or Potential Termination Event, shall deposit
such Collections within one Business Day of receipt thereof into the Collection Account. The Net Investment shall not be deemed reduced by any amount held in trust or in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 2.12 unless and until,
and then only to the extent that, such amount is finally paid to the Agent in accordance with Section 2.12(b) 

Article III 
 Additional Alternate Investor Provisions 
 Section 3.1
Assignment to Alternate Investors. 
 (a) Assignment Amounts. At any time on or prior to the Commitment
Termination Date, if any Class Agent on behalf of the related Conduit Investors so elects, by written notice to the Agent, the SPV hereby irrevocably requests and directs that such Conduit Investors assign, and each Conduit Investor does hereby
assign effective on the Assignment Date referred to below, all or such portions as may be elected by such Conduit Investor of, the related Class Net Investment and the Asset Interest at such time to the related Alternate Investors pursuant to this
Section 3.1 and the SPV hereby agrees to pay the amounts described in Section 3.1(b); provided, however, that unless such assignment is an assignment of all of such Class Net Investment, including the portion of
the Asset Interest related thereto, in whole on or after the Conduit 

  
 37 

 
Investment Termination Date, no such assignment shall take place pursuant to this Section 3.1 if a Termination Event described in Section 8.1(g) shall then exist; and
provided, further, that no such assignment shall take place pursuant to this Section 3.1 at a time when an Event of Bankruptcy with respect to such Conduit Investor exists. No further documentation or action on the part of
the Conduit Investors or the SPV shall be required to exercise the rights set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, other than the giving of the notice by a Class Agent on behalf of the related Conduit Investor to the Agent and the delivery
by the related Class Agent of a copy of such notice to each related Alternate Investor (the date of the receipt by the related Class Agent of any such notice being the “Assignment Date”). Each Alternate Investor hereby
agrees, unconditionally and irrevocably and under all circumstances, without setoff, counterclaim or defense of any kind, to pay the full amount of its Assignment Amount on such Assignment Date to the related Conduit Investor in immediately
available funds to an account designated by the related Class Agent. Upon payment of its Assignment Amount, such Alternate Investor shall acquire an interest in the related Class Net Investment (and the portion of the Asset Interest related thereto)
equal to its pro rata share (based on the outstanding portions of such Class Net Investment funded by it) of the related Class Net Investment. Upon any assignment in whole by any Conduit Investor to the related Alternate
Investors on or after the Conduit Investment Termination Date as contemplated hereunder, such Conduit Investor shall cease to make any additional Investments or Reinvestments hereunder. At all times prior to the Conduit Investment Termination Date,
nothing herein shall prevent any Conduit Investor from making a subsequent Investment or Reinvestment hereunder, in its sole discretion, following any assignment pursuant to this Section 3.1 or from making more than one assignment
pursuant to this Section 3.1. 
 (b) SPV’s Obligation to Pay Certain Amounts; Additional Assignment
Amount. The SPV shall pay to the related Class Agent, for the account of the related Conduit Investor, in connection with any assignment by such Conduit Investor to the related Alternate Investors pursuant to this Section 3.1, an
aggregate amount equal to all Yield to accrue through the end of the current Rate Period to the extent attributable to the portion of the Class Net Investment so assigned to the related Alternate Investors (which Yield shall be determined for such
purpose using the CP Rate most recently determined by the related Class Agent) (as determined immediately prior to giving effect to such assignment), plus all other Aggregate Unpaids (other than the Class Net Investment and other than any
Yield not described above) related to such Class. If the SPV fails to make payment of such amounts at or prior to the time of assignment by a Conduit Investor to the related Alternate Investors, such amount shall be paid by the related Alternate
Investors (in accordance with their respective Alternate Investor Percentages) to such Conduit Investor as additional consideration for the interests assigned to such Alternate Investors and the amount of the related Class Net Investment shall be
increased by an amount equal to the additional amount so paid by the Alternate Investors (which increase shall be allocated pro rata to the Alternate Investors that have funded such amounts, based upon the proportion that the amount
funded by each such Alternate Investor bears to the aggregate of such amounts). Any payment by the SPV required to made under this Section 3.1(b) shall be paid as soon as possible from the SPV’s share of Collections and, in any
event, shall become due and payable on the earlier to occur of (i) the next Settlement Date after the obligation to make such payment arises and (ii) the Termination Date. 

  
 38 

 (c) Administration of Agreement after Assignment from Conduit Investor to Alternate
Investors following the Conduit Investment Termination Date. After any assignment in whole by a Conduit Investor to the related Alternate Investors pursuant to this Section 3.1 at any time on or after the Conduit Investment
Termination Date (and the payment of all amounts owing to such Conduit Investor in connection therewith), all rights of the related Class Agents or the related Collateral Agent set forth herein shall be given to the related Class Agent on behalf of
the Alternate Investors instead of either such party. 
 (d) [Reserved]. 

(e) Recovery of Net Investment. In the event that the aggregate of the Assignment Amounts related to any Class paid by the related
Alternate Investors pursuant to this Section 3.1 on any Assignment Date occurring on or after the Conduit Investment Termination Date is less than the portion of the Class Net Investment owned by the related Conduit Investor on such
Assignment Date, then to the extent Collections thereafter received by the Agent hereunder in respect of such Class Net Investment exceed the aggregate of the unrecovered Assignment Amounts for such Class and the Class Net Investment funded by the
related Alternate Investors (other than any portion thereof attributable to such Assignment Amounts), such excess shall be remitted by the related Class Agent to the related Conduit Investor for the account of the related Conduit Investor.

 Section 3.2 Reserved. 
 Section 3.3 Non-Renewing Alternate Investors. 
 (a) The SPV may
request that the Alternate Investors renew their Commitments hereunder by providing written request for renewal to each Alternate Investors no more than 60 days and not less than 45 days prior to the then-current Commitment Termination Date.

 (b) If at any time the SPV so requests that the Alternate Investors renew their Commitments hereunder and some but less than
all the Alternate Investors consent to such renewal within 15 days prior to the then-current Commitment Termination Date, the SPV may arrange for an assignment to one or more financial institutions of all the rights and obligations hereunder of each
such non-consenting Alternate Investor in accordance with Section 11.8. Any such assignment shall become effective on the then-current Commitment Termination Date. Each Alternate Investor which does not so consent to any renewal shall
cooperate fully with the SPV in effectuating any such assignment. 
 (c) If at any time the SPV requests that the Alternate
Investors extend the Commitment Termination Date hereunder and some but less than all the Alternate Investors consent to such extension within 15 days prior to the then-current Commitment Termination Date, and if none or less than all the
Commitments of the non-renewing Alternate Investors are assigned as provided in Section 3.3(b), then (without limiting the obligations of all the Alternate Investors to make Investments and pay any Assignment Amount prior to the
Commitment Termination Date in accordance with the terms hereof) any related Conduit Investor may sell an interest in the portion of the related Class Net Investment funded by it (including the related interest in the Asset Interest) for an
aggregate purchase price equal to the lesser of (i) the 

  
 39 

 
maximum aggregate Assignment Amounts which would be payable if such Conduit Investor assigned its entire interest in the Asset Interest at that time under Section 3.1, and
(ii) the aggregate unused Commitments of the non-renewing Alternate Investors in such Class, which purchase price shall be paid solely by such non-renewing Alternate Investors, pro rata according to their respective Commitments.
Following the payment of such purchase price, (i) the extended Commitment Termination Date shall be effective with respect to the renewing Alternate Investors, (ii) the related Class Facility Limit shall automatically be reduced by the
aggregate of the Commitments of all non-renewing Alternate Investors (it being understood that amounts necessary to reduce the related Class Facility Limit shall be payable solely in accordance with Section 2.12 and shall not be an
immediate payment obligation of the SPV) and (iii) this Agreement and the Commitments of the renewing Alternate Investors shall remain in effect in accordance with their terms notwithstanding the expiration of the Commitments of the
non-renewing Alternate Investors. Prior to the Termination Date, all amounts which, under Section 2.12 are to be applied in reduction of the related Class Net Investment, up to the aggregate Class Net Investment sold to the non-renewing
Alternate Investors as described above in this subsection, shall be distributed to the non-renewing Alternate Investors ratably according to the aggregate Investments held by them, in reduction of such Investments. On and after the Termination Date,
each non-renewing Alternate Investor shall be entitled to receive distributions as otherwise provided in Section 2.12, such that all distributions of Collections pursuant to Section 2.12 thereafter shall be allocated among
the non-renewing Alternate Investors and the other Alternate Investors in accordance with each such Alternate Investor’s pro rata share (based on the portion of the Net Investment funded by it as of the Termination Date) of
the Alternate Investor Percentage of the related Class Net Investment. When (after the expiration of the Commitments of the non-renewing Alternate Investors) the aggregate of the Investments described above in this subsection shall have been reduced
to zero and all accrued Yield allocable thereto and all other Aggregate Unpaids owing to such non-renewing Alternate Investors shall have been paid to such Alternate Investors in full, then such non-renewing Alternate Investors shall cease to be
parties to this Agreement for any purpose. 
 Section 3.4 New Alternate Investors and Liquidity Banks.

 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, (i) any Alternate Investor may assign any portion or all
of its Commitment and its investment in the related Class Net Investment to any other Person, (ii) any Liquidity Bank may assign any portion or all of its commitment under its Liquidity Agreement and its investment in the related Class Net
Investment to any other Person and (iii) each Conduit Investor may add new Liquidity Banks to its Liquidity Agreement relating to the Transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, in the case of clauses (i),
(ii) and (iii) if such assignment or addition occurs prior to the occurrence of any Termination Event, and the assignee or new Liquidity Bank is not at the time a party to this Agreement, the consent of the SPV to such assignment shall
be required (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, such consent of the SPV shall not be required in the case of an assignment to PNC Bank or an Affiliate of PNC Bank (or, for the avoidance of
doubt, in the case of a sale of a participation interest that does not affect the rights or obligations of such Alternate Investor hereunder and does not permit such participant to vote on any matters hereunder).

no such item contains or will contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omits or will omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not misleading.

 42 

 (k) Good Title. In the case of the SPV, upon each Investment and Reinvestment, the
Agent shall acquire a valid and enforceable perfected first priority ownership interest or a first priority perfected security interest in each Receivable and all other Affected Assets that exist on the date of such Investment or Reinvestment, with
respect thereto, free and clear of any Adverse Claim. In the case of the Seller, upon each transfer to the SPV pursuant to the terms of the Second Tier Agreement, the SPV shall acquire a valid and enforceable perfected first priority ownership
interest in each Receivable and all other Affected Assets that exist on the date of such transfer, with respect thereto, free and clear of any Adverse Claim. In the case of the Originator, upon each transfer to the Seller pursuant to the terms of
the First Tier Agreement, the Seller shall acquire a valid and enforceable perfected first priority ownership interest in each Receivable and all other Affected Assets that exist on the date of such transfer, with respect thereto, free and clear of

in any Servicer Report or other report delivered pursuant to Section 2.8 or (ii)included in the calculation of the Net Pool Balance in fact satisfies at such time the definition of “Eligible Receivable” set forth herein.

Reserves does not exceed the Net Pool Balance.

(o) No Termination Event or Potential Termination Event. In the case of the SPV, no event has occurred and is continuing and no
condition exists, or would result from any Investment or Reinvestment or from the application of the proceeds therefrom, which constitutes a Termination Event or a Potential Termination Event. 

(p) Not an Investment Company or Holding Company. It is not, and is not controlled by, an “investment company” within
the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, or is exempt from all provisions of such act. 
 (q) ERISA. Each
employee benefit plan sponsored, maintained or contributed to by the SPV, the Originator or any ERISA Affiliate which plan is tax qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code is in compliance in all respects with the applicable provisions of
ERISA, the Code and any regulations and published interpretations thereunder or, if not, any such non-compliance does not have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the SPV nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred, or reasonably expects to incur, any
liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation under Title IV of ERISA with respect to any Pension Plan (other than premiums due and not delinquent under Section 4007 of ERISA) that would have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the SPV

Blocked Account Agreements. All Obligors have been instructed to make payment to a Blocked Account and only Collections are deposited into the Blocked Accounts. 
 (s) Bulk Sales. In the case of the SPV, no transaction contemplated hereby or by the Second Tier Agreement requires compliance with any bulk sales act or similar law. 

(t) Transfers Under First Tier Agreement. In the case of the Seller (except for the Receivables acquired by the Seller in respect
of the termination of the existing receivables securitization on or prior to the date of the initial funding hereunder), each Receivable has been purchased by it from the Originator pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the First Tier
Agreement. 
 (u) Transfers Under Second Tier Agreement. In the case of the SPV, each Receivable has been purchased by it
from the Seller pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Second Tier Agreement.

 (i) the SPV is a limited purpose entity whose activities are restricted in its limited liability company agreement to activities related to purchasing or otherwise acquiring receivables (including the

 44 

 (ii) the SPV has not engaged, and does not presently engage, in any activity

such entity bears its fair share of such costs; and all material transactions between the SPV and any of its Affiliates shall be only on an arm’s-length basis; 

(v) the SPV maintains a principal executive and administrative office through which its business is conducted and a

accounts; 
 (vii) all decisions with respect to its business and daily operations are independently made by the
SPV (although the officer making any particular decision may also be an employee, officer or director of an Affiliate of the SPV) and are not dictated by any Affiliate of the SPV (it being understood that the Servicer, which is an Affiliate of the
SPV, will undertake and perform all of the operations, functions and obligations of it set forth herein and it may appoint Sub-Servicers, which may be Affiliates of the SPV, to perform certain of such operations, functions and obligations);

  
 45

authorized officers and agents, and no Affiliate of the SPV shall be appointed to act as its agent, except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement; 
 (ix) no Affiliate of the SPV advances funds to the SPV, other than as is otherwise provided herein or in the other Transaction Documents, and no Affiliate of the SPV otherwise supplies funds to, or

obligations incurred by it; 
 (xi) the SPV does not guarantee, and is not otherwise liable, with respect to any
obligation of any of its Affiliates;

accepted accounting principles and are issued separately from, but may be consolidated with, any reports prepared for any of its Affiliates; 
 (xiii) at all times the SPV is adequately capitalized to engage in the transactions contemplated in its certificate of incorporation; 

(xiv) the financial statements and books and records of the SPV and the Originator reflect the separate corporate
existence of the SPV; 
 (xv) the SPV does not act as agent for the Originator or any Affiliate thereof, but
instead presents itself to the public as a corporation separate from each such member and independently engaged in the business of purchasing and financing Receivables; 

(xvi) the SPV maintains a three-person board of managers, including at least one independent manager, who has never been,
and shall at no time be a stockholder, member, manager, officer, employee or associate, or any relative of the foregoing, of the Originator or any Affiliate thereof (other than the SPV and any other bankruptcy-remote special purpose entity formed
for the sole purpose of securitizing, or facilitating the securitization of, financial assets of the Originator or any Affiliate thereof), all as provided in its certificate or articles of incorporation, and is otherwise reasonably acceptable to the
Investors and the Agent; and 
 (xvii) the limited liability company agreement of the SPV requires the
affirmative vote of its independent manager before a voluntary petition under Section 301 of the Bankruptcy Code may be filed by the SPV, and requires the SPV to maintain correct and complete books and records of account and minutes of the
meetings and other proceedings of its member and board of managers.

 Article VII 

Administration and Collections 
 Section 7.1 Appointment of Servicer. 
 (a)
The servicing, administering and collection of the Receivables shall be conducted by the Person (the “Servicer”) so designated from time to time as Servicer in accordance with this Section 7.1. Each of the SPV,
the Class Agents, the Agent and the Investors hereby appoints as its agent the Servicer, from time to time designated pursuant to this Section, to enforce its respective rights and interests in and under the Affected Assets. To the extent permitted
by applicable law, each of the SPV, the Originator and the Seller (to the extent not then acting as Servicer hereunder) hereby grants to any Servicer appointed hereunder an irrevocable power of attorney to take any and all steps in the SPV’s,
the Originator’s and/or the Seller’s name and on behalf of the SPV, the Originator or the Seller as necessary or desirable, in the reasonable determination of the Servicer, to collect all amounts due under any and all Receivables,
including endorsing the SPV’s and/or the Originator’s name on checks and other instruments representing Collections and enforcing such Receivables and the related Contracts and to take all such other actions set forth in this
Article VII. Until the Agent gives notice to the Servicer (in accordance with this Section 7.1) of the designation of a new Servicer, the Seller is hereby designated as, and hereby agrees to perform the duties and obligations
of, the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof. Upon the occurrence of a Servicer Default, the Agent may, and upon the direction of the Class Agents shall, designate as Servicer any Person (including itself) to succeed the Seller or any successor
Servicer, on the condition in each case that any such Person so designated shall agree to perform the duties and obligations of the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof; provided, however, that if a Servicer Default occurs solely as a
result of the occurrence of a Termination Event and, on or after the 60th day after such occurrence the Net Investment exceeds zero, then a successor Servicer may, or upon the direction of the Majority Investors, shall, be appointed by the Agent. 

(b) Upon the designation of a successor Servicer as set forth above, the Seller agrees that it will terminate its activities as Servicer
hereunder in a manner which the Agent determines will facilitate the transition of the performance of such activities to the new Servicer, and the 

  
 60 

 
Seller shall cooperate with and assist such new Servicer. Such cooperation shall include access to and transfer of records and use by the new Servicer of all records, licenses, hardware or
software (except to the extent any such licenses or other items are not assignable and/or may not be shared or assigned) necessary or desirable to collect the Receivables and the Related Security. 

(c) The Seller acknowledges that the SPV, the Class Agents, the Agent and the Investors have relied on the Seller’s agreement to act
as Servicer hereunder in making their decision to execute and deliver this Agreement. Accordingly, the Seller agrees that it will not voluntarily resign as Servicer. 
 (d) The Servicer may not delegate any of its rights, duties or obligations hereunder, or designate a substitute Servicer, without the prior written consent of the Agent, and provided that the
Servicer shall continue to remain solely liable for the performance of the duties as Servicer hereunder notwithstanding any such delegation hereunder. The Servicer may delegate its duties and obligations hereunder to any Affiliate subservicer (each,
a “Sub-Servicer”); provided that, in each such delegation, (i) such Sub-Servicer shall agree in writing to perform the duties and obligations of the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof, (ii) the Servicer
shall remain primarily liable to the SPV, the Agent, the Class Agents and the Investors for the performance of the duties and obligations so delegated, (iii) the SPV, the Agent, the Class Agents and the Investors shall have the right to look
solely to the Servicer for performance and (iv) the terms of any agreement with any Sub-Servicer shall provide that the Agent may terminate such agreement upon the termination of the Servicer hereunder by giving notice of its desire to
terminate such agreement to the Servicer (and the Servicer shall provide appropriate notice to such Sub-Servicer). 
 (e) The
Seller hereby irrevocably agrees that if at any time it shall cease to be the Servicer hereunder, it shall act (if the then current Servicer so requests) as the data-processing agent of the Servicer and, in such capacity, the Seller shall conduct
the data-processing functions of the administration of the Receivables and the Collections thereon in substantially the same way that the Seller conducted such data-processing functions while it acted as the Servicer. 

Section 7.2 Duties of Servicer. 
 (a) The Servicer shall take or cause to be taken all such action as may be necessary or advisable to collect each Receivable from time to time, all in accordance with this Agreement and all applicable
Law, with reasonable care and diligence, and in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy. The Servicer shall set aside (and, if applicable, segregate) and hold in trust for the accounts of the SPV, the Agent and the Investors the amount of
the Collections to which each is entitled in accordance with Article II. So long as no Termination Event or Potential Termination Event shall have occurred and is continuing, the Servicer may, in accordance with the Credit and Collection
Policy, extend the maturity or adjust the Unpaid Balance of any Defaulted Receivable, Delinquent Receivable or any Receivable that is otherwise not an Eligible Receivable as the Servicer may determine to be appropriate to maximize Collections
thereof; provided, however, that (i) such adjustment shall not alter, subject to Section 1.3(b), the status of such Receivable as a Defaulted Receivable or a Delinquent Receivable or limit the rights of the SPV, the
Investors or the Agent under this Agreement and (ii) if a Termination Event or Potential Termination Event has occurred and the Seller is still acting as Servicer, the Seller may make such adjustment only upon the prior written approval of

  
 61 

 
the Agent. The SPV shall deliver to the Servicer and the Servicer shall hold in trust for the SPV and the Agent, on behalf of the Investors, in accordance with their respective interests, all
Records which evidence or relate to any Affected Asset. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Agent shall have the absolute and unlimited right to direct the Servicer (whether the Seller or any other Person is the Servicer)
to commence or settle any legal action to enforce collection of any Receivable or to foreclose upon or repossess any Affected Asset. The Servicer shall not make the Class Agents, the Agent or any of the Investors a party to any litigation without
the prior written consent of such Person. At any time when a Termination Event exists, the Agent may notify any Obligor of its interest in the Receivables and the other Affected Assets. 

(b) The Servicer shall, as soon as practicable following receipt thereof, turn over to the Seller or the Originator, as determined by the
Servicer, all collections from any Person of indebtedness of such Person which are not on account of a Receivable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article VII, the Servicer, if not the Seller, the Originator or any
Affiliate of the Seller or the Originator, shall have no obligation to collect, enforce or take any other action described in this Article VII with respect to any indebtedness that is not included in the Asset Interest other than to deliver
to the Seller or the Originator the Collections and documents with respect to any such indebtedness as described above in this Section 7.2(b). 
 (c) Any payment by an Obligor in respect of any indebtedness owed by it to the Originator shall, except as otherwise specified by such Obligor, required by contract or law or clearly indicated by facts or
circumstances (including by way of example an equivalence of a payment and the amount of a particular invoice), and unless otherwise instructed by the Agent, be applied as a Collection of any Receivable of such Obligor (starting with the oldest such
Receivable) to the extent of any amounts then due and payable thereunder before being applied to any other receivable or other indebtedness of such Obligor. 
 Section 7.3 Blocked Account Arrangements. 
 Prior to the initial
purchase hereunder the Servicer and SPV shall enter into Blocked Account Agreements with all of the Blocked Account Banks, and deliver original counterparts thereof to the Agent. Upon the occurrence of a Termination Event or a Potential Termination
Event, the Agent may at any time thereafter give notice to each Blocked Account Bank that the Agent is exercising its rights under the Blocked Account Agreements to do any or all of the following: (a) to have the exclusive ownership and control
of the Blocked Account Accounts transferred to the Agent and to exercise exclusive dominion and control over the funds deposited therein, (b) to have the proceeds that are sent to the respective Blocked Accounts be redirected pursuant to its
instructions rather than deposited in the applicable Blocked Account, and (c) to take any or all other actions permitted under the applicable Blocked Account Agreement. Each of the Servicer and SPV hereby agrees that if the Agent, at any time,
takes any action set forth in the preceding sentence, the Agent shall have exclusive control of the proceeds (including Collections) of all Receivables and each of the Servicer and SPV hereby further agrees to take any other action that the Agent
may reasonably request to transfer such control. Any proceeds of Receivables received by the Seller, as Servicer or otherwise, or the SPV thereafter shall be sent immediately to the Agent. The parties hereto hereby acknowledge that if at any time
the Agent 

  
 62 

 
takes control of any Blocked Account, the Agent shall not have any rights to the funds therein in excess of the unpaid amounts due to SPV, the Agent and the Investors or any other Person
hereunder and the Agent shall distribute or cause to be distributed such funds in accordance with Section 7.2(b) (including the proviso thereto) and Article II (in each case as if such funds were held by the Servicer thereunder);
provided, however, that the Agent shall not be under any obligation to remit any such funds to the Seller or any other Person unless and until the Agent has received from the Seller or such Person evidence satisfactory to the Agent
that the Seller or such Person is entitled to such funds hereunder and under applicable Law. 
 Section 7.4
Enforcement Rights After Designation of New Servicer. 
 (a) At any time following the occurrence of a Termination
Event and the designation of a Servicer (other than the Seller or an Affiliate of the Seller) pursuant to Section 7.1: 
 (i) the Agent may direct the Obligors that payment of all amounts payable under any Receivable be made directly to the Agent or its designee; 

(ii) the SPV shall, at the Agent’s request and at the SPV’s expense, give notice of the Agent’s, the
SPV’s, and/or the Investors’ ownership of the Receivables and (in the case of the Agent) interest in the Asset Interest to each Obligor and direct that payments be made directly to the Agent or its designee, except that if the SPV fails to
so notify each obligor, the Agent may so notify the Obligors; and 
 (iii) the SPV shall, at the Agent’s
request, (A) assemble all of the Records and shall make the same available to the Agent or its designee at a place selected by the Agent or its designee, and (B) segregate all cash, checks and other instruments received by it from time to
time constituting Collections of Receivables in a manner acceptable to such Agent and shall, promptly upon receipt, remit all such cash, checks and instruments, duly endorsed or with duly executed instruments of transfer, to such Agent or its
designee. 
 (b) Each of the SPV and the Seller hereby authorizes the Agent, and irrevocably appoints the Agent as its
attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution and with full authority in the place and stead of the SPV or the Seller, as applicable, which appointment is coupled with an interest, to take any and all steps following the occurrence of a
Termination Event or the occurrence and continuation of a Potential Termination Event, in the name of the SPV or the Seller, as applicable, and on behalf of the SPV or the Seller, as applicable, necessary or desirable, in the determination of the
Agent, to collect any and all amounts or portions thereof due under any and all Receivables or Related Security, including endorsing the name of the Seller on checks and other instruments representing Collections and enforcing such Receivables,
Related Security and the related Contracts. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this subsection (b), none of the powers conferred upon such attorney-in-fact pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall subject such
attorney-in-fact to any liability if any action taken by it shall prove to be inadequate or invalid, nor shall they confer any obligations upon such attorney-in-fact in any manner whatsoever.

Seller, the Servicer, by giving three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Class Agents, may revise the percentage used to calculate the Servicing Fee so long as the revised percentage will not result in a Servicing Fee that
exceeds 110% of the reasonable and appropriate out-of-pocket costs and expenses of such Servicer incurred in connection with the performance of its obligations hereunder as documented to the reasonable satisfaction of the Class Agents;
provided, however, that at any time after the sum of (1) the Net Investment and (2) the Required Reserves exceeds the Net Pool Balance, any compensation to the Servicer in excess of the Servicing Fee initially provided for

customers of the applicable Person after consideration of factors as such Person determines in its sole discretion to be reasonably relevant; 
 (ii) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement (including any such requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) against
assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Indemnified Party or shall impose on any Indemnified Party or on the United States market for certificates of deposit or the London interbank market any other condition

Program Support Provider or otherwise in respect of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, the ownership, maintenance or financing of the Asset Interests, 
 and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Indemnified Party with respect to this Agreement, the other Transaction
Documents, the ownership, maintenance or financing of the Asset Interest, the Receivables, the obligations hereunder, the funding of any purchases hereunder or a Program Support Agreement, by an amount deemed by such Indemnified Party to be

Indemnified Party for such increased cost or reduction. 
 (b) If any Indemnified Party shall have determined that after the
date hereof (i) the adoption (after the date hereof) of any applicable Law or bank regulatory guideline regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any clarification or change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any
Official Body, (ii) any request, guidance or directive regarding capital adequacy (in the case of any bank regulatory guideline, whether or not having the force of law) of any Official Body, or (iii) the compliance, application or
implementation by the Indemnified Party of any of the foregoing clauses (i) or (ii) or any Existing Law (in the case of any Existing Law, in a manner which is not consistent with the methods employed by such Indemnified Party

that which such Indemnified Party (or its parent) could have achieved but for any of the occurrences set forth in the foregoing (i), (ii) or (iii) (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount
deemed by such Indemnified Party to be material, then from time to time, within ten (10) days after demand by such Indemnified Party through the Agent, the SPV shall pay to the Agent, for the benefit of such Indemnified Party, such additional
amount or amounts as will compensate such Indemnified Party (or its parent) for such reduction. The amounts due and payable to an Indemnified Party under this Section 9.2(b) shall be considered Aggregate Unpaids; provided, that
any such demand shall be made in good faith (and not on an arbitrary and capricious basis) and consistent with similarly situated customers of the applicable Person after consideration of factors as such Person determines in its sole discretion to
be reasonably relevant. 
 (c) The Agent shall promptly notify the SPV of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after
the date hereof, which will entitle an Indemnified Party to compensation pursuant to this Section 9.2; provided that no failure to give or any delay in giving such notice shall affect the Indemnified Party’s right to receive
such compensation. A notice by the Agent or the applicable Indemnified Party claiming compensation under this Section and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.
In determining such amount, the Agent or any applicable Indemnified Party may use any reasonable averaging and attributing methods. 

  
 73 

 (d) Anything in this Section 9.2 to the contrary notwithstanding, if any Conduit
Investor enters into agreements for the acquisition of interests in receivables from one or more Other SPVs, such Conduit Investor shall allocate the liability for any amounts under this Section 9.2 which are in connection with a Program
Support Agreement or the credit or liquidity support provided by a Program Support Provider (“Additional Costs”) to the SPV and each Other SPV; provided, however, that if such Additional Costs are attributable
to the SPV, the Originator or the Servicer and not attributable to any Other SPV, the SPV shall be solely liable for such Additional Costs or if such Additional Costs are attributable to Other SPVs and not attributable to the SPV, the Originator or
the Servicer, such Other SPVs shall be solely liable for such Additional Costs. 
 Section 9.3 Taxes.

 All payments and distributions made hereunder by the SPV or the Servicer (each, a “payor”) to any
Investor or the Agent (each, a “recipient”) shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any present or future income, excise, stamp or franchise taxes and any other taxes, fees, duties, withholdings or other
charges of any nature whatsoever imposed by any taxing authority on any recipient (or any assignee of such parties) (such non-excluded items being called “Taxes”), but excluding franchise taxes and taxes imposed on or
measured by the recipient’s net income or gross receipts (“Excluded Taxes”). In the event that any withholding or deduction from any payment made by the payor hereunder is required in respect of any Taxes, then such
payor shall: 
 (a) pay directly to the relevant authority the full amount required to be so withheld or deducted; 

(b) promptly forward to the Agent an official receipt or other documentation satisfactory to the Agent evidencing such payment to such
authority; and 
 (c) pay to the recipient such additional amount or amounts as is necessary to ensure that the net amount
actually received by the recipient will equal the full amount such recipient would have received had no such withholding or deduction been required. 
 Moreover, if any Taxes are directly asserted against any recipient with respect to any payment received by such recipient hereunder, the recipient may pay such Taxes and the payor will promptly pay such
additional amounts (including any penalties, interest or expenses) as shall be necessary in order that the net amount received by the recipient after the payment of such Taxes (including any Taxes on such additional amount) shall equal the amount
such recipient would have received had such Taxes not been asserted. 
 If the payor fails to pay any Taxes when due to the
appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the recipient the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the payor shall indemnify the recipient for any incremental Taxes, interest, or penalties that may become payable by any
recipient as a result of any such failure.

unless a Termination Event or Potential Termination Event has occurred), dispute, disagreement, litigation or preparation for litigation involving this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents (all of such amounts, collectively,
“Transaction Costs”).

The Agent 

Section 10.1 Appointment and Authorization of Agent. 

Each Investor hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes the Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of
this Agreement and each other Transaction Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Agent by the terms of this Agreement and any other Transaction Document, together with such other powers as are
reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document, the Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth in
this Agreement, nor shall the Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Investor, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other
Transaction Document or otherwise exist against the Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement with reference to the Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or
other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent
contracting parties. 
 Section 10.2 Delegation of Duties. 

The Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document by or through agents, employees or
attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects with reasonable care.

 Section 10.3 Liability of Agent.

this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (b) be responsible in any manner to any Investor for any recital, statement, representation
or warranty made by the SPV, the Originator or the Servicer, or any officer thereof, contained in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or
received by the Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or for any failure
of the SPV, the Originator, the Servicer or any other party to any Transaction Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Investor to ascertain or to inquire as to the
observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the SPV, the Originator or the Servicer or any of their respective
Affiliates. 
 Section 10.4 Reliance by Agent. 

(a) The Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent,
certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by or on behalf of the proper Person or
Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the SPV, the Originator and the Servicer), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Agent. The Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to
take any action under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Majority Investors as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its
satisfaction by the Investors against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting,
under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Conduit Investors or Majority Investors or, if required hereunder, all Investors and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant
thereto shall be binding upon all of the Investors. 
 (b) For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified
in Article V on the Closing Date or the date of any Investment or Reinvestment, each Investor that has executed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter
either sent by the Agent to such Investor for consent, approval, acceptance or satisfaction, or required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to such Investor. 

  
 77 

 Section 10.5 Notice of Termination Event, Potential Termination Event or Servicer
Default. 
 The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Potential Termination Event,
a Termination Event or a Servicer Default, unless the Agent has received written notice from any Class Agent, any Investor, the Servicer or the SPV referring to this Agreement, describing such Potential Termination Event, Termination Event or
Servicer Default and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Termination Event or Potential Termination Event” or “Notice of Servicer Default,” as applicable. The Agent will notify the Class Agents and the Investors of its
receipt of any such notice. The Agent shall (subject to Section 10.4) take such action with respect to such Potential Termination Event, Termination Event or Servicer Default as may be requested by the Majority Investors or the Class
Agents, provided, however, that, unless and until the Agent shall have received any such request, the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Potential
Termination Event, Termination Event or Servicer Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Investors. 

Section 10.6 Credit Decision; Disclosure of Information by the Agent. 

Each Investor acknowledges that none of the Agent-Related Persons has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the
Agent hereinafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of the SPV, the Servicer, the Originator or any of their respective Affiliates, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty
by any Agent-Related Person to any Investor as to any matter, including whether the Agent-Related Persons have disclosed material information in their possession. Each Investor, including any Investor by assignment, represents to the Agent that it
has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial
and other condition and creditworthiness of the SPV, the Servicer, the Originator or their respective Affiliates, and all applicable bank regulatory laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this
Agreement and to extend credit to the SPV hereunder. Each Investor also represents that it shall, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time,
continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business,
prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the SPV, the Servicer or the Originator. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly herein required to be furnished to the Investors by the Agent
herein, the Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Investor with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the SPV, the
Servicer, the Originator or their respective Affiliates which may come into the possession of any of the Agent-Related Persons.

Agent-Related Person (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of the SPV and without limiting the obligation of the SPV to do so), pro rata, and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person from and against any and all
Indemnified Amounts incurred by it; provided, however, that no Alternate Investor shall be liable for the payment to any Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Amounts resulting from such Person’s gross negligence
or willful misconduct, as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided, however, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Majority Investors shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or
willful misconduct for purposes of this Section. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Alternate Investor shall reimburse the Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including attorney’s fees)
incurred by the Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or
responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Transaction Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the SPV. The undertaking in this
Section shall survive payment on the Final Payout Date and the resignation or replacement of the Agent. 
 Section 10.8
Agent in Individual Capacity. 
 PNC Bank (and any successor acting as Agent) and its Affiliates may make loans to,
issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with any of the SPV, the Originator and the Servicer
or any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates as though PNC Bank were not the Agent or an Alternate Investor hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Investors. The Investors acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, PNC Bank or its
Affiliates may receive information regarding the SPV, the Originator, the Servicer or their respective Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Person) and acknowledge that the Agent shall
be under no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to its Commitment, PNC Bank (and any successor acting as Agent) in its capacity as an Alternate Investor hereunder shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as

the Agent in its individual capacity. 
 Section 10.9 Resignation of Agent. 

The Agent may resign as Agent upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Investors. If the Agent resigns under this Agreement, the
Majority Investors shall appoint from among the Alternate Investors a successor agent for the Investors. If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Agent, the Agent may appoint, after consulting with the
Investors a successor agent from among the Alternate Investors. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent hereunder, such successor agent shall succeed to all the rights,

received after 12:00 noon (New York City time) on such Business Day, in which case the Agent shall use its reasonable efforts to pay such amounts to the related Class Agents on such Business Day, but, in any event, shall pay such amounts to the
related Class Agents not later than the following Business Day.

Class Agents.

responsibilities, except those expressly set forth in this Agreement, nor shall the Class Agents have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Investor, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or
liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or otherwise exist against the Class Agents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement with
reference to the Class Agents is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to
create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. 
 Section 10.12
Delegation of Duties. 
 Each Class Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Transaction
Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys in fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. No Class Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney

Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the SPV, the Originator and the Servicer), independent accountants and other experts selected by such Class Agent. Each Class Agent shall be fully justified in failing or
refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the related Investors as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its

This Agreement contains the final and complete integration of all prior expressions by the parties hereto with respect to the subject
matter hereof and shall constitute the entire Agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof superseding all prior oral or written understandings.

novation of the obligations secured under the Original Agreement or (b) to release, cancel, terminate or otherwise impair the status or priority of the liens or security for the obligations secured by the Original Agreement. Further, the SPV,
the Originator, the Seller and the Servicer acknowledge and agree that this Agreement shall not be considered a new contract, and that all rights, titles, powers, liens, security interests and estates created by or under the Original Agreement or
other agreements executed in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Original Agreement and the Original Agreement shall continue without interruption in full force and effect.

 Section 11.6 Severability of Provisions. 

If any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement shall for any reason whatsoever be held invalid, then such provisions shall be
deemed severable from the remaining provisions of this Agreement and shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of such other provisions. 
 Section 11.7 Counterparts; Facsimile Delivery. 
 This Agreement
may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same
Agreement. Delivery by facsimile of an executed signature page of this Agreement shall be effective as delivery of an executed counterpart hereof. 
 Section 11.8 Successors and Assigns; Binding Effect. 
 (a) This
Agreement shall be binding on the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that none of the SPV, the Servicer or the Originator may assign any of its rights or delegate any of its duties hereunder
or under the First Tier Agreement, the Second Tier Agreement or under any of the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party without the prior written consent of the Agent and each Class Agent. Except as provided in clause
(b) below, no provision of this Agreement shall in any manner restrict the ability of any Investor to assign, participate, grant security interests in, or otherwise transfer any portion of the Asset Interest. 

(b) Any Alternate Investor may assign all or any portion of its Commitment and its interest in the related Class Net Investment and the
Asset Interest and its other rights and obligations hereunder to any Person with the written approval of the related Class Agent, on behalf of the related Conduit Investor, and the Agent. In connection with any such assignment, the assignor shall
deliver to the assignee(s) an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, duly executed, assigning to such assignee a pro rata interest in such assignor’s Commitment and other obligations hereunder and in the related Class Net
Investment, the Asset Interest and other rights hereunder, and such assignor shall promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that the assignee may reasonably request, in order to protect, or
more fully evidence the assignee’s right, title and interest in and to such interest and to enable the Agent, on behalf of such assignee, to exercise or enforce any rights hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents to which such
assignor is or, immediately prior to such assignment, was a party. Upon any such assignment, (i) the assignee shall have all of the rights and obligations of the assignor hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents to which such
assignor is or, immediately prior to such assignment, was a party with respect to such assignor’s Commitment and interest in the related Class Net Investment and the Asset Interest for all purposes of this Agreement and under the other
Transaction Documents to which such assignor is or, immediately prior to such assignment, was a party and (ii) the assignor shall have no further obligations with respect to the portion of its Commitment which has been assigned and shall
relinquish its rights with respect to the portion of its interest in the related Class Net Investment and the Asset Interest which has been assigned for all purposes of this Agreement and under the other Transaction Documents to which such assignor
is or, immediately prior to 

  
 87 

 
such assignment, was a party. No such assignment shall be effective unless a fully executed copy of the related Assignment and Assumption Agreement shall be delivered to the related Class Agent,
the Agent and the SPV. All costs and expenses of the related Class Agent and the Agent incurred in connection with the preparation and execution of any documentation related to any assignment hereunder shall be borne by the assignee. No Alternate
Investor shall assign any portion of its Commitment hereunder without also simultaneously assigning an equal portion of its interest in the Program Support Agreement to which it is a party or under which it has acquired a participation. 

(c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the assignor and assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with
each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the assignor makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements,
warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness,
sufficiency or value or this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or any such other instrument or document; (ii) the assignor makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of the
SPV, the Originator or the Servicer or the performance or observance by the SPV, the Originator or the Servicer of any of their respective obligations under this Agreement, the First Tier Agreement, the Second Tier Agreement, the other Transaction
Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, the First Tier Agreement, the Second Tier Agreement, each other Transaction Document and such
other instruments, documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Assumption Agreement and to purchase such interest; (iv) such assignee will, independently
and without reliance upon the Agent or any Class Agent, or any of their respective Affiliates, or the assignor and based on such agreements, documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit
decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents; (v) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Agent and the related Class Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such
powers under this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto as are delegated to the Agent or such Class Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such powers as are
reasonably incidental thereto and to enforce its respective rights and interests in and under this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the Affected Assets; (vi) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms
all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents are required to be performed by it as the assignee of the assignor; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will not institute against any Conduit
Investor any proceeding of the type referred to in Section 11.11 prior to the date which is one year and one day after the payment in full of all Commercial Paper issued by such Conduit Investor. 

(d) Without limiting the foregoing, each Conduit Investor may, from time to time, with prior or concurrent notice to the SPV, the
Servicer and the Agent, in one transaction or a series of transactions, assign all or a portion of the related Class Net Investment and its rights and obligations under this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents to which it is a party to a

  
 88 

 
Conduit Assignee. Upon and to the extent of such assignment by such Conduit Investor to a Conduit Assignee, (i) such Conduit Assignee shall be the owner of the assigned portion of the
related Class Net Investment, (ii) the related administrator for such Conduit Assignee will act as the Class Agent for such Conduit Assignee, with all corresponding rights and powers, express or implied, granted to a Class Agent hereunder or
under the other Transaction Documents, (iii) such Conduit Assignee (and any related commercial paper issuer, if such Conduit Assignee does not itself issue commercial paper) and their respective liquidity support provider(s) and credit support
provider(s) and other related parties shall have the benefit of all the rights and protections provided to the related Conduit Investor and its Program Support Provider(s) herein and in the other Transaction Documents (including any limitation on
recourse against such Conduit Assignee or related parties, any agreement not to file or join in the filing of a petition to commence an insolvency proceeding against such Conduit Assignee, and the right to assign to another Conduit Assignee as
provided in this paragraph), (iv) such Conduit Assignee shall assume all (or the assigned or assumed portion) of the related Conduit Investor’s obligations, if any, hereunder or any other Transaction Document, and such Conduit Investor
shall be released from such obligations, in each case to the extent of such assignment, and the obligations of such Conduit Investor and such Conduit Assignee shall be several and not joint, (v) all distributions in respect of the related Class
Net Investment shall be made to the applicable agent or Agent, as applicable, on behalf of the related Conduit Investor and such Conduit Assignee on a pro rata basis according to their respective interests, (vi) the
definition of the term “CP Rate” with respect to the portion of the related Class Net Investment funded with commercial paper issued by the related Conduit Investor from time to time shall be determined in the manner set forth in the
definition of “CP Rate” applicable to such Conduit Investor on the basis of the interest rate or discount applicable to commercial paper issued by such Conduit Assignee (or the related commercial paper issuer, if such Conduit Assignee does
not itself issue commercial paper) rather than the Conduit Investor, (vii) the defined terms and other terms and provisions of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents shall be interpreted in accordance with the foregoing, and
(viii) if requested by the Agent or administrative agent with respect to a Conduit Assignee, the parties will execute and deliver such further agreements and documents and take such other actions as the Agent or such administrative agent may
reasonably request to evidence and give effect to the foregoing. No assignment by a Conduit Investor to a Conduit Assignee of all or any portion of the related Class Net Investment shall in any way diminish the related Alternate Investors’
obligation under Section 2.3 to fund any Investment not funded by the related Conduit Investor or such Conduit Assignee or to acquire from such Conduit Investor or such Conduit Assignee all or any portion of the related Class Net
Investment pursuant to Section 3.1. 
 (e) In the event that a Conduit Investor makes an assignment to a Conduit
Assignee in accordance with clause (d) above, the related Alternate Investors: (i) if requested by the related Class Agent, shall terminate their participation in the applicable Program Support Agreement to the extent of such
assignment, (ii) if requested by the related Class Agent, shall execute (either directly or through a participation agreement, as determined by the related Class Agent) the program support agreement related to such Conduit Assignee, to the
extent of such assignment, the terms of which shall be substantially similar to those of the participation or other agreement entered into by such Alternate Investor with respect to the applicable Program Support Agreement (or which shall be
otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the related Class Agent and the related Alternate Investors), (iii) if requested by a related Conduit Investor, shall 

  
 89 

 
enter into such agreements as requested by such Conduit Investor pursuant to which they shall be obligated to provide funding to such Conduit Assignee on substantially the same terms and
conditions as is provided for in this Agreement in respect of such Conduit Investor (or which agreements shall be otherwise reasonably satisfactory to such Conduit Investor and the related Alternate Investors), and (iv) shall take such actions
as the Agent shall reasonably request in connection therewith. 
 (f) Each of the SPV, the Servicer, the Seller and the
Originator hereby agrees and consents to the assignment by the Conduit Investor from time to time of all or any part of its rights under, interest in and title to this Agreement and the Asset Interest to any Program Support Provider. In addition,
each of the SPV, the Servicer, the Seller and the Originator hereby agrees and consents to the assignment by any Conduit Investor from time to time of all or any part of its rights under, interest in and title to this Agreement and the Asset
Interest to the related Class Agent or the related Collateral Agent. 
 (g) Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement to the contrary, any Investor may at any time pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its rights (including, without limitation, such Investor’s interest in the Net Investment and any rights to payment of Yield)
under this Agreement and any other Transaction Document to secure obligations of such Investor to a Federal Reserve Bank, without notice to or consent of the SPV or the Administrative Agent or any other party; provided that no such pledge or
grant of a security interest shall release an Investor from any of its obligations hereunder, or substitute any such pledgee or grantee for such Investor as a party hereto. 
 Section 11.9 Waiver of Confidentiality. 
 Each of the SPV, the
Servicer, the Seller and the Originator hereby consents to the disclosure of any non-public information with respect to it received by the Agent, any Investor or the Class Agents to any other Investor or potential Investor, the Agent, any nationally
recognized statistical rating organization rating any Conduit Investor’s Commercial Paper, any dealer or placement agent of or depositary for such Conduit Investor’s Commercial Paper, any Class Agent, any Collateral Agent, any Program
Support Provider or any of such Person’s counsel or accountants in relation to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document if such Persons are informed of the confidential nature of such information. 

Section 11.10 Confidentiality Agreement. 
 Each of the SPV, the Servicer, the Seller and the Originator hereby agrees that it will not disclose the contents of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any other proprietary or
confidential information of or with respect to any Investor, the Agent, any Class Agent, any Collateral Agent or any Program Support Provider to any other Person except (a) its auditors and attorneys, employees or financial advisors (other than
any commercial bank) and any nationally recognized statistical rating organization, provided such auditors, attorneys, employees, financial advisors or rating agencies are informed of the highly confidential nature of such information or (b) as
otherwise required by applicable law (including securities laws and SEC filings) or order of a court of competent jurisdiction. 

  
 90 

 Section 11.11 No Bankruptcy Petition Against the Conduit Investors.

 Each of the SPV, the Servicer, the Seller and the Originator hereby covenants and agrees that, prior to the date which is
one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding Commercial Paper or other rated indebtedness of any Conduit Investor (or its related commercial paper issuer), it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting
against, any Conduit Investor any proceeding of a type referred to in the definition of Event of Bankruptcy. 

Section 11.12 No Recourse Against Conduit Investors. 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the obligations of each Conduit Investor under this Agreement and
all other Transaction Documents are solely the corporate obligations of such Conduit Investor and shall be payable solely to the extent of funds received from the SPV in accordance herewith or from any party to any Transaction Document in accordance
with the terms thereof in excess of funds necessary to pay matured and maturing Commercial Paper.

 SCHEDULE 4.1(bb) 
 Disclosure Representations and Covenants 
 Originator—Disclosure
Representations and Covenants 
 Disclosure of the Transactions 

 

	1.	The transactions referred to in the Opinion (the “Transactions”) have been or will be publicly disclosed as follows: (a) the Transactions will be
addressed in notes relating to Performance Guarantor’s securitization activities in its financial statements (on which Originator is consolidated); and (b) UCC financing statements will be filed to perfect the transfer (the
“Transfer”) of receivables (the “Receivables”) by Originator to United Stationers Financial Services LLC (“Seller”) pursuant to the receivables sale agreement referred to in the Opinion (the
“Receivables Sale Agreement”). 

  

	2.	The footnotes that describe Performance Guarantor’s securitization activities (which include the Transactions) in Performance Guarantor’s consolidated
financial statements (which will include Originator, Seller and the SPV) will describe Performance Guarantor’s securitization activities, will inform readers that securitized assets (such as the Receivables) are isolated in special purpose
entities and support the securities issued by those entities. 

  

	3.	The computer records of Seller, as servicer (in such capacity, the “Servicer”) relating to the Receivables will be marked to reflect the Transfer.

  

	4.	Originator will not conceal any transfers contemplated by the agreements referred to on Schedule II to the Opinion (the “Agreements”) from any
interested party. Although obligors on the Receivables will not be affirmatively informed of the transfers of their obligations, Originator will not conceal the transfers from any obligor that inquires. Also, (other than certain rebates and
allowances in respect of Receivables) the obligors are not expected to be material creditors of either Originator, Seller or the SPV. 

 Terms of the Transactions 
  

	5.	In connection with the Transactions: (a) certain investors in the Receivables rely on the Receivables and the other assets of the Issuer in making their investment
decision; (b) certain investors in the Receivables will rely on the Transfer being characterized as a true sale, so as to isolate the Receivables from Originator’s creditors; and (c) the indirect sale of the Receivables to the SPV and
its creditors and their financing through the Transactions is beneficial to Originator because it, among other things, increases the liquidity of their assets and, to a lesser extent, diversifies the funding sources for Originator’s business.

  

	6.	The terms of the Receivables Sale Agreement and other transactions between Originator and Seller are (a) consistent with those of arm’s-length relationships
and (b) fair and equitable to each of the parties. 

  
 Schedule
4.1(bb) - 1 

	7.	Originator intends the Transfer to be a true sale by Originator to Seller that is absolute and irrevocable and that provides Seller with the full benefits of ownership
of the Receivables. Originator will convey the Receivables as a result of the credit to Seller without recourse for uncollectibility of the Receivables as a result of the creditworthiness of the related Obligor and without any warranty of
collectibility or any unconventional warranty. 

  

	8.	To finance its purchase, Originator will transfer the Receivables to the Seller, which in turn will transfer the Receivables to the SPV. 

 

	9.	The consideration received by Originator in the Transfer represents the fair market value of the Receivables. 

 

	10.	Immediately prior to the Transfer, Originator owned the Receivables free and clear of any lien or other adverse claim. 

 

	11.	Originator’s representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities in the Receivables Sale Agreement with respect to the Receivables: (a) cover matters
ascertainable by Originator in the ordinary course of business and (b) are intended to ensure that Seller will receive the type of assets that it has bargained to purchase. Originator believes that such representations, warranties, covenants
and indemnities do not cause Originator to retain or assume the risk of nonpayment or other material financial risks of the Receivables based in part on the belief that the matters covered are within Originator’s control, are unlikely to occur,
or both. The representations, warranties and covenants are not intended to cover material liabilities that are reasonably likely to occur. 

  

	12.	There are no agreements or understandings between the SPV, on one hand, and Originator or any of Originator’s other affiliates that are relevant to the
Transactions other than the Agreements and any other agreements and understandings specifically referenced in the Agreements. In particular, there are no other agreements or understandings pursuant to which Originator or another of its other
affiliates (a) is responsible for maintaining Seller’s or the SPV’s solvency or (b) provides recourse, guarantees or otherwise retains or assumes financial risks with respect to the Receivables. 

Relationship Between Originator and the SPV 
  

	13.	The SPV is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Seller which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Originator, and the SPV was formed for the special purpose of consummating the
Transactions. 

  

	14.	Originator intends to act in a manner that is consistent with the SPV’s separate and distinct existence and will correct any known misunderstanding regarding its
status as a separate entity. 

  

  
 Schedule
4.1(bb) - 2 

	15.	Originator prepares and maintains separate corporate and financial records from the SPV that accurately reflect its assets, liabilities and financial affairs.
Originator’s believes its assets and liabilities can be readily and inexpensively segregated, ascertained and identified separate from those of the SPV. All transactions between Originator and the SPV, including monetary transactions, are and
will be properly reflected in Originator’s books and records and Originator believes that each transaction will be on terms and conditions consistent with those of an arm’s length transaction. 

 

	16.	Originator believes that the consolidation of Originator’s and the SPV’s business operations would not result in any significant cost savings or in a
significantly greater efficiency or profitability of such combined business operation. 

  

	17.	Originator and the SPV do not intend to commingle their assets and liabilities, except that Seller, as Servicer of the Receivables: (a) may temporarily commingle
collections pending identification and transfer to a collection account for the Transactions; and (b) will retain books and records pertaining to the Receivables. Originator does not maintain joint bank accounts or other the SPV accounts to
which the SPV has independent access. 

  

	18.	An integration of business functions between Originator and the SPV, if any, exists only to the extent summarized in this paragraph. The SPV is operated for the
exclusive purpose of purchasing Receivables from Seller. The SPV will have no employees, and the SPV’s day-to-day business operations with respect to the Receivables will be conducted through Seller, in its capacity as Servicer, pursuant to the
Amended and Restated Transfer and Administration Agreement and that under that agreement, Seller has limited rights, in its capacity as Servicer, to enter into modifications of Receivables on behalf of the SPV, and Seller is generally not permitted
to resign as Servicer. Originator and the SPV may share some expenses, but these are not expected to be material and, in any event, will be allocated between the entities on a basis reasonably related to the cost of the services involved and each
entity’s actual use of such services. Obligors on the Receivables transferred to the SPV will not be notified that their Receivables have been transferred to the SPV. 

 

	19.	The SPV is held out to the public as a separate entity apart from Originator, including as described under Part I: Description of the Transactions in the Opinion.

  

	20.	Originator maintains its own stationery and other business forms separate from the SPV’s and conducts business in its own name (including, without limitation, its
contracts and written communications). 

  

	21.	Originator adheres in all material respects to corporate formalities in all transfers of assets and other transactions between Originator and the SPV. In general,
Originator observes appropriate corporate formalities under applicable law. 

  

	22.	Originator does not currently, and does not intend to, guaranty, and is not otherwise obligated to repay, the SPV’s liabilities. 

 

  
 Schedule
4.1(bb) - 3 

	23.	At closing, Originator will: (a) be solvent; (b) be adequately capitalized to conduct its business and affairs as a going concern, considering the size and
nature of its business and intended purposes and taking into account pending and threatened claims; and (c) intends to, and believes that it will be able to, pay its debts as they mature. As a result, Originator is intended to (and is
reasonably believed to) be able to survive as a stand-alone entity. 

  

	24.	Originator does not pay the SPV’s expenses, except as specifically provided in the Agreements. Any allocations of direct, indirect or overhead expenses for items
shared between Originator and the SPV are made among such entities to the extent practical on the basis of actual use or value of services rendered and otherwise on a basis reasonably related to actual use or the value of services rendered.

  

	25.	Originator has not held itself out, nor does it intend to do so in the future, as responsible for the SPV’s debts. 

  
 Schedule
4.1(bb) - 4 

 Seller—Disclosure Representations and Covenants 

Disclosure of the Transactions 
  

	1.	The transactions referred to in the Opinion (the “Transactions”) have been or will be publicly disclosed as follows: (a) the Transactions will be
addressed in notes relating to Performance Guarantor’s securitization activities in its financial statements (on which Seller is consolidated); and (b) UCC financing statements will be filed to perfect the transfer (the
“Transfer”) of receivables by the Originator to Seller pursuant to the receivables sales agreement referred to in the Opinion (the “Receivables Sale Agreement”) and the transfer of the Receivables together with a
portfolio of additional receivables previously acquired by Seller (the “Receivables”) from Seller to United Stationers Receivables, LLC (the “SPV”) pursuant to the receivables purchase agreement referred to in the
Opinion (the “Receivables Purchase Agreement”). 

  

	2.	The computer records of Seller, as servicer (in such capacity, the “Servicer”) relating to the Receivables will be marked to reflect the Transfer.

  

	3.	Seller will not conceal any transfers contemplated by the agreements referred to on Schedule II to the Opinion (the “Agreements”) from any
interested party. Although obligors on the Receivables will not be affirmatively informed of the transfers of their obligations, Seller will not conceal the transfers from any obligor that inquires. Also, (other than certain rebates and allowances
in respect of Receivables) the obligors are not expected to be material creditors of either Seller or the SPV. 

 Terms of the
Transactions 
  

	4.	In connection with the Transactions: (a) certain investors in the Receivables rely on the Receivables and the other assets of the SPV in making their investment
decision; (b) certain investors in the Receivables will rely on the Transfer being characterized as true sales, so as to isolate the Receivables from Seller’s creditors; and (c) the sale of the Receivables to the SPV and their
financing through the Transactions is beneficial to Seller and its creditors because it, among other things, increases the liquidity of their assets. 

  

	5.	The terms of each of the Receivables Sale Agreement and other transactions between Originator and Seller and the Receivables Purchase Agreement and other transactions
between Seller and the SPV are (a) consistent with those of arm’s-length relationships and (b) fair and equitable to each of the parties. 

  

	6.	Seller intends the Transfer to be a true sale by Originator to Seller that is absolute and irrevocable and that provides Seller with the full benefits of ownership of
the Receivables. Seller will receive the conveyance of the Receivables from Originator without recourse for uncollectibility of the Receivables as a result of the creditworthiness of the related Obligor and without any warranty of collectibility or
any unconventional warranty.

	7.	Seller intends the Transfer to be a true sale by Seller to the SPV that is absolute and irrevocable and that provides the SPV with the full benefits of ownership of the
Receivables. Seller will convey the Receivables to the SPV without recourse for uncollectibility of the Receivables as a result of the creditworthiness of the related Obligor and without any warranty of collectibility or any unconventional warranty.

  

	8.	To finance its purchase, Seller will transfer the Receivables to the SPV, which will transfer the Receivables to PNC Bank, National Association (for the benefit of
certain investors). 

  

	9.	The consideration received from Originator in the Transfer represents the fair market value of the Receivables. 

 

	10.	Immediately prior to the Transfer, Seller owned the Receivables free and clear of any lien or other adverse claim. 

 

	11.	Seller purchases the Receivables in good faith without knowledge of any adverse claim against, interest in, lien on, or defense to payment of, such assets (other than
any adverse claim arising solely as a result of any action taken by Seller under the Agreements). 

  

	12.	Originator’s representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities in the Receivables Sale Agreement with respect to the Receivables and Seller’s
representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities in the Receivables Purchase Agreement with respect to the Receivables: (a) cover matters ascertainable by Originator or Seller, as applicable, in the ordinary course of business and
(b) are intended to ensure that Seller or the SPV, as applicable, will receive the type of assets that it has bargained to purchase. Seller believes that such representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities do not cause Originator or
Seller, as applicable, to retain or assume the risk of nonpayment or other material financial risks of the Receivables based in part on the belief that the matters covered are within Originator’s or Seller’s control, are unlikely to occur,
or both. The representations, warranties and covenants are not intended to cover material liabilities that are reasonably likely to occur. 

  

	13.	There are no agreements or understandings between the SPV or Seller or any of Seller’s other affiliates that are relevant to the Transactions other than the
Agreements and any other agreements and understandings specifically referenced in the Agreements. In particular, there are no other agreements or understandings pursuant to which Seller or another of its other affiliates (a) is responsible for
maintaining Seller’s or the SPV’s solvency or (b) provides recourse, guarantees or otherwise retains or assumes financial risks with respect to the Receivables. 

 Relationship Between Seller and the SPV 
  

	14.	The SPV is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Seller and was formed for the special purpose of consummating the Transactions. 

  
 Schedule
4.1(bb) - 6 

	15.	Seller intends to act in a manner that is consistent with the SPV’s separate and distinct existence and will correct any known misunderstanding regarding its
status as a separate entity. 

  

	16.	Seller prepares and maintains separate corporate and financial records from the SPV that accurately reflect its assets, liabilities and financial affairs. Seller
believes that its assets and liabilities can be readily and inexpensively segregated, ascertained and identified separate from those of the SPV. All transactions between Seller and the SPV, including monetary transactions, are and will be properly
reflected in Seller’s books and records and Seller believes that each transaction will be on terms and conditions consistent with those of an arm’s length transaction. 

 

	17.	Seller believes the consolidation of Seller’s and the SPV’s business operations would not result in any significant cost savings or in a significantly greater
efficiency or profitability of such combined business operation. 

  

	18.	Seller and the SPV do not intend to commingle their assets and liabilities, except that Seller, as Servicer of the Receivables: (a) may temporarily commingle
collections pending identification and transfer to a collection account for the Transactions; and (b) will retain books and records pertaining to the Receivables. Seller does not maintain joint bank accounts or other the SPV accounts to which
the SPV has independent access. 

  

	19.	An integration of business functions between Seller and the SPV, if any, exists only to the extent summarized in this paragraph. The SPV is operated for the exclusive
purpose of purchasing Receivables from Seller. The SPV will have no employees, and the SPV’s day-to-day business operations with respect to the Receivables will be conducted through Seller, in its capacity as Servicer, pursuant to the Amended
and Restated Transfer and Administration Agreement and that under that agreement, Seller has limited rights, in its capacity as Servicer, to enter into modifications of Receivables on behalf of the SPV, and Seller is generally not permitted to
resign as Servicer. Seller and the SPV may share some expenses, but these are not expected to be material and, in any event, will be allocated between the entities on a basis reasonably related to the cost of the services involved and each
entity’s actual use of such services. Obligors on the Receivables transferred to the SPV will not be notified that their Receivables have been transferred to the SPV. 

 

	20.	The SPV is held out to the public as a separate entity apart from Seller, including as described under Part I: Description of the Transactions in the Opinion.

  

	21.	Seller maintains its own stationery and other business forms separate from the SPV’s and conducts business in its own name (including, without limitation, its
contracts and written communications). 

  

	22.	Seller adheres in all material respects to corporate formalities in all transfers of assets and other transactions between Seller and the SPV. In general, Seller
observes appropriate corporate formalities under applicable law. 

  
 Schedule
4.1(bb) - 7 

	23.	Seller does not currently, and does not intend to, guaranty, and is not otherwise obligated to repay, the SPV’s liabilities. 

 

	24.	At closing, Seller will: (a) be solvent; (b) be adequately capitalized to conduct its business and affairs as a going concern, considering the size and nature
of its business and intended purposes and taking into account pending and threatened claims; and (c) intends to, and believes that it will be able to, pay its debts as they mature. As a result, Seller is intended to (and is reasonably believed
to) be able to survive as a stand-alone entity. 

  

	25.	Seller does not pay the SPV’s expenses, except as specifically provided in the Agreements. Any allocations of direct, indirect or overhead expenses for items
shared between Seller and the SPV are made among such entities to the extent practical on the basis of actual use or value of services rendered and otherwise on a basis reasonably related to actual use or the value of services rendered.

  

	26.	Seller has not held itself out, nor does it intend to do so in the future, as responsible for the SPV’s debts. 

  
 Schedule
4.1(bb) - 8 

 SPV—Disclosure Representations and Covenants 

Disclosure of the Transactions 
  

	1.	The transactions referred to in the Opinion (the “Transactions”) have been or will be publicly disclosed by the SPV as follows: (a) the
Transactions will be addressed in notes relating to Performance Guarantor’s securitization activities in its financial statements (on which the SPV is consolidated) and (b) UCC financing statements will be filed to perfect the transfer
(the “Transfer”) of receivables (the “Receivables”) by the Originator to United Stationers Financial Services LLC (“Seller”) pursuant to the receivables sale agreement referred to in the Opinion
(the “Receivables Sale Agreement”) and subsequently the Receivables together with a portfolio of additional receivables previously acquired by Seller (the “Receivables”) by Seller to the SPV pursuant to the
receivables purchase agreement referred to in the Opinion (the “Receivables Purchase Agreement”). 

  

	2.	The SPV will not conceal any transfers contemplated by the agreements referred to on Schedule II to the Opinion (the “Agreements”) from any
interested party. Although obligors on the Receivables will not be affirmatively informed of the transfers of their obligations, the SPV will not conceal those transfers from any obligor that inquires. Also, (other than certain rebates and
allowances in respect of Receivables) the obligors are not expected to be material creditors of the SPV. 

 Terms of the
Transactions 
  

	3.	In connection with the Transactions: (a) the Investors rely on the Receivables and the other assets of the SPV in making their investment decision and will rely on
the Transfers being characterized as true sales, so as to isolate the Receivables from Performance Guarantor’s, Originator’s and Seller’s creditors. 

 

	4.	The terms of the transactions between the SPV and each of Performance Guarantor, Originator and Seller are (a) consistent with those of arm’s-length
relationships and (b) fair and equitable to each of the parties. 

  

	5.	The SPV intends the Transfer to be a true sale by Seller to the SPV that is absolute and irrevocable and that provides the SPV with the full benefits of ownership of
the Receivables. The SPV will receive the conveyance of the Receivables from Seller without recourse for bad debt or uncollectibility of the Receivables and without any warranty of collectibility or any unconventional warranty.

  

	6.	The consideration received by Seller in the Transfer is the fair market value of the Receivables. 

 

	7.	The SPV purchases the Receivables in good faith without knowledge of any adverse claim against, interest in, lien on, or defense to payment of, such assets (other than
any adverse claim arising solely as a result of any action taken by the SPV under the Agreements). 

  
 Schedule
4.1(bb) - 9 

	8.	Seller’s representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities in the Receivables Purchase Agreement with respect to the Receivables (a) cover matters
ascertainable by Seller in the ordinary course of business and (b) are intended to ensure that the SPV will receive the type of assets that it has bargained to purchase. Such representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities do not cause
Seller to retain or assume the risk of nonpayment or other material financial risks of the Receivables. 

  

	9.	There are no agreements or understandings between the SPV and Seller or any of Seller’s other affiliates that are relevant to the Transactions other than the
Agreements and any other agreements and understandings specifically referenced in the Agreements. In particular, there are no other agreements or understandings pursuant to which Originator or another of its other affiliates (a) is responsible
for maintaining the SPV’s solvency or (b) provides recourse, guarantees or otherwise retains or assumes financial risks with respect to the Receivables. 

 Relationship Between the SPV and Performance Guarantor, Originator and Seller 
  

	10.	The SPV is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Seller and was formed for the special purpose of consummating the Transactions and other similar transactions with respect to
Seller’s Receivables. The SPV will comply with all separateness covenants contained in the applicable Agreements, or in the SPV’s limited liability company agreement. 

 

	11.	The SPV intends to act in a manner that is consistent with the SPV’s separate and distinct existence and will correct any known misunderstanding regarding its
status as a separate entity. 

  

	12.	The SPV prepares and maintains separate corporate and financial records (which will be subject to audit by independent public accountants) from Originator and Seller
that accurately reflect its assets, liabilities and financial affairs. The SPV believes that its assets and liabilities can be readily and inexpensively segregated, ascertained and identified separate from those of Performance Guarantor, Originator
and Seller. All transactions between the SPV on the one hand and Performance Guarantor, Originator or Seller on the other hand, including monetary transactions, are and will be properly reflected in the SPV’s books and records and the SPV
believes that each will be on terms and conditions consistent with those of an arm’s length transaction. 

  

	13.	The consolidation of each of Performance Guarantor’s, Originator’s or Seller’s and the SPV’s business operations would not result in any significant
cost savings or in a significantly greater efficiency or profitability of such combined business operation. 

  

	14.	The SPV and each of Performance Guarantor, Originator and Seller will not commingle their assets and liabilities, except that Seller, as Servicer of the Receivables:
(a) may temporarily commingle collections pending identification and transfer to a collection account for the Transactions; and (b) will retain books and records pertaining to the Receivables. The SPV does not otherwise maintain joint bank
accounts or other the SPV accounts to which either of Originator or Seller has independent access. 

  
 Schedule
4.1(bb) - 10 

	15.	An integration of business functions between any of Performance Guarantor, Originator or Seller and the SPV, if any, exists only to the extent summarized in this
paragraph. The SPV is operated for the exclusive purpose of purchasing Receivables from Seller. The SPV will have no employees, and the SPV’s day-to-day business operations with respect to the Receivables will be conducted through Seller, in
its capacity as Servicer, pursuant to the Amended and Restated Transfer and Administration Agreement. Under that agreement, Seller has limited rights, in its capacity as Servicer, to enter into modifications of Receivables on behalf of the SPV, and
Seller is generally not permitted to resign as Servicer. Each of Performance Guarantor, Originator, Seller and the SPV may share some expenses not reflected in Servicer’s fees, but these are not expected to be material and, in any event, will
be allocated between the entities on a basis reasonably related to the cost of the services involved and each entity’s actual use of such services. Obligors on the Receivables transferred to the SPV will not be notified that their Receivables
have been transferred to the SPV. 

  

	16.	The SPV is held out to the public as a separate entity apart from each of Originator and Seller, including as described under Part I: Description of the Transactions in
the Opinion. 

  

	17.	The SPV maintains its own stationery and other business forms separate from Originator’s and conducts business in its own name (including, without limitation, its
contracts and written communications). 

  

	18.	The SPV has its own office, which is located in premises that are primarily occupied by Originator but is separately demarcated and identified.

  

	19.	The SPV will adhere in all material respects to corporate formalities in all transfers of assets and other transactions between the SPV and each of Originator and
Seller. In general, the SPV observes appropriate limited liability company formalities under applicable law. 

  

	20.	The SPV will not guaranty, or otherwise become obligated to repay, either Originator’s or Seller’s liabilities, except to the extent that the SPV’s
indemnities in the Agreements may be considered guaranties. To the extent that those indemnities cover either Originator’s or Seller’s actions or failures to act, the SPV considers the likelihood that the SPV will incur liabilities under
those indemnities to be remote and immaterial. 

  

	21.	At closing, the SPV will: (a) be solvent; (b) be adequately capitalized to conduct its business and affairs as a going concern, considering the size and
nature of its business and intended purposes and taking into account pending and threatened claims; and (c) intends to, and believes that it will be able to, pay its debts as they mature. As a result, the SPV is intended to (and is reasonably
believed to) be able to survive as a stand-alone entity. 

  
 Schedule
4.1(bb) - 11 

	22.	None of Performance Guarantor, Originator nor Seller pays the SPV’s expenses, except as specifically provided in the Agreements. Any allocations of direct,
indirect or overhead expenses for items shared between the SPV and Performance Guarantor, Originator or Seller, which are not expected to be material, are made among such entities to the extent practical on the basis of actual use or value of
services rendered and otherwise on a basis reasonably related to actual use or the value of services rendered. 

  

	23.	The SPV has not held itself out, nor does it intend to do so in the future, as responsible for either Performance Guarantor’s, Originator’s or Seller’s
debts.

 Exhibit A 
 Form of Assignment and Assumption Agreement 
 Reference is made to the
Amended and Restated Transfer and Administration Agreement dated as of January 18, 2013 as it may be amended, modified, supplemented, restated or replaced from time to time (as so amended or modified, the “Agreement”) by
and among United Stationers Receivables, LLC, an Illinois limited liability company (the “SPV”), United Stationers Supply Co., an Illinois corporation (the “Originator”), United Stationers Financial
Services LLC, an Illinois limited liability company (the “Seller”) and as Servicer, PNC Bank, National Association, a national banking association (“PNC Bank”), as Agent, as a Class Agent and as an
Alternate Investor, and the financial institutions from time to time parties thereto as Conduit Investors and Alternate Investors. Terms defined in the Agreement are used herein with the same meaning. 

[            ] (the “Assignor”) and
[            ] (the “Assignee”) agree as follows: 
 1. The Assignor hereby sells and assigns to the Assignee, without recourse and without representation and warranty, and the Assignee hereby purchases and assumes from the Assignor, an interest in and to
all of the Assignor’s rights and obligations under the Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. Such interest expressed as a percentage of all rights and obligations of the Alternate Investors, shall be equal to the percentage equivalent
of a fraction the numerator of which is $[            ] and the denominator of which is the Facility Limit. After giving effect to such sale and assignment, the Assignee’s Commitment
will be as set forth on the signature page hereto. 
 2. [In consideration of the payment of
$[            ], being [            ]% of the existing Net Investment, and of
$[            ], being [            ]% of the aggregate unpaid accrued Discount, receipt of which payment is hereby acknowledged,
the Assignor hereby assigns to the Agent for the account of the Assignee, and the Assignee hereby purchases from the Assignor, a [            ]% interest in and to all of the
Assignor’s right, title and interest in and to the Net Investment purchased by the undersigned on [            ], [20][    ] under the Agreement.] 

3. The Assignor (i) represents and warrants that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned by it hereunder
and that such interest is free and clear of any Adverse Claim; (ii) makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with the Agreement, any
other Transaction Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of the Agreement or the Receivables, any other Transaction Document or
any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; and (iii) makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of any of the SPV or the Servicer or the Originator or the
performance or observance by any of the SPV or the Servicer or the Originator of any of its obligations under the Agreement, any other Transaction Document, or any instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto. 

  
 Exhibit A - 1

 4. The Assignee (i) confirms that it has received a copy of the Agreement, the First
Tier Agreement and the Second Tier Agreement together with copies of the financial statements referred to in Sections 6.1(a)(i) and (ii) of the Agreement, to the extent delivered through the date of this Assignment and Assumption Agreement
(the “Assignment”), and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Assignment; (ii) agrees that it will, independently and without
reliance upon the Agent, any of its Affiliates, the Assignor or any other Alternate Investor and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking
action under the Agreement and any other Transaction Document; (iii) appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under the Agreement and the other Transaction Documents
as are delegated to the Agent by the terms thereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto; (iv) agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of the
Agreement are required to be performed by it as an Alternate Investor; and (v) specifies as its address for notices and its account for payments the office and account set forth beneath its name on the signature pages hereof[; and
(vi) attaches the forms prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service of the United States of America certifying as to the Assignee’s status for purposes of determining exemption from United States withholding taxes with respect to all
payments to be made to the Assignee under the Agreement or such other documents as are necessary to indicate that all such payments are subject to such rates at a rate reduced by an applicable tax treaty]. [To be included if the Assignee is
organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States] 
 5. The effective date for this Assignment shall be
the later of (i) the date on which the Agent receives this Assignment executed by the parties hereto and receives the consent of [the SPV and] the Class Agents, on behalf of the Conduit Investors, and (ii) the date of this Assignment (the
“Effective Date”). Following the execution of this Assignment and the consent of [the SPV and] the Class Agents, on behalf of the Conduit Investors, this Assignment will be delivered to the Agent for acceptance and recording.

 6. Upon such acceptance and recording, as of the Effective Date, (i) the Assignee shall be a party to the Agreement and,
to the extent provided in this Assignment, have the rights and obligations of an Alternate Investor thereunder and (ii) the Assignor shall, to the extent provided in this Assignment, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations
under the Agreement. 
 7. Upon such acceptance and recording, from and after the Effective Date, the Agent shall make all
payments under the Agreement in respect of the interest assigned hereby (including, without limitation, all payments in respect of such interest in Net Investment, Discount and fees) to the Assignee. The Assignor and Assignee shall make all
appropriate adjustments in payments under the Agreement for periods prior to the Effective Date directly between themselves. 

  
 Exhibit A - 2

 8. The Assignee shall not be required to fund hereunder an aggregate amount at any time
outstanding in excess of $[            ] [This should match the commitment amount for this Alternate Investor], minus the aggregate outstanding amount of any interest funded
by the Assignee in its capacity as a participant under the Liquidity Provider Agreement. 
 9. The Assignor agrees to pay the
Assignee its pro rata share of fees in an amount equal to the product of (a) [            ] per annum and (b) the [Commitment] [Should match fees in
Section [    ] of the Participation Agreement] during the period after the Effective Date for which such fees are owing and paid by the SPV pursuant to the Agreement. Amounts paid under this section shall be credited against
amounts payable to the Assignee under Section [    ] of the Participation Agreement dated as of [date] by and between PNC Bank and [Alternate Investor] (and vice versa). 

10. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT REFERENCE TO THE
CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW). 
 11. This agreement
contains the final and complete integration of all prior expressions by the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall constitute the entire Agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof
superseding all prior oral or written understandings. 
 12. If any one or more of the covenants, agreements, provisions or
terms of this agreement shall for any reason whatsoever be held invalid, then such covenants, agreements, provisions, or terms shall be deemed severable from the remaining covenants, agreements, provisions, or terms of this agreement and shall in no
way affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this agreement. 
 13. This agreement may be executed in
any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery by
facsimile of an executed signature page of this agreement shall be effective as delivery of an executed counterpart hereof. 

14. This agreement shall be binding on the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

 Exhibit B 
 Credit and Collection Policies and Practices 
 The following are the practices generally
followed by the servicer (United Stationers Financial Services, LLC) for extension of credit to United Stationers Supply Co. customers and collection of outstanding balances: 

 

	 	1.	Extension of Credit 

  

	 	a.	Prospective Customers 

  

	 	i.	Credit reviews are completed prior to an agreement to sell any products to a prospective customer 

 

	 	ii.	Prospective customers are requested to provide financial statements and any other information deemed necessary to make a credit decision. Additional security (personal
guarantees, UCC-1 or letter of credit) may be required in certain instances. 

  

	 	b.	Current Customers 

  

	 	i.	The Credit Department reviews all active accounts each year and more frequently as it deems necessary 

 

	 	ii.	Management maintains documented credit files for each customer 

  

	 	iii.	Increases in credit limits are accompanied by a complete credit review. Similarly, any change in payment terms which will require a credit limit change will require a
complete credit review. 

  

	 	2.	Credit Limits 

  

	 	a.	Credit limits are determined to ensure that business can be transacted normally without the customer exceeding their credit limit

 Ladies and
Gentlemen: 
 This opinion is furnished to you pursuant to Section 5.1(n) of the Amended and Restated Transfer and
Administration Agreement dated as of January 18, 2013 (the “Agreement”) United Stationers Receivables, LLC, an Illinois limited liability company (the “SPV”), United Stationers Supply Co., an
Illinois corporation (the “Originator”), United Stationers Financial Services LLC, an Illinois limited liability company (the “Seller”) and as Servicer, PNC Bank, National Association, a national
banking association (“PNC Bank”), as Agent, as a Class Agent and as an Alternate Investor, and the financial institutions from time to time parties thereto as Conduit Investors and Alternate Investors and certain financial
institutions from time to time parties hereto as Alternate Investors. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given such terms in the Agreement. 

We have acted as counsel to the Originator, the Seller and the SPV in connection with the preparation of the Agreement, the First Tier
Agreement, the Second Tier Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby. 
 We have
examined, on the date hereof, the Agreement and all exhibits thereto, the First Tier Agreement, the Second Tier Agreement and all exhibits thereto, certificates of public officials and of officers of the SPV, the Seller and the Originator and
certified copies of the Originator’s, the Seller’s and the SPV’s [Modify the following for appropriate type of entity] [certificate of incorporation, by-laws, the Board of Directors’ resolutions] authorizing the
Originator’s, the Seller’s and the SPV’s participation in the transactions contemplated by the Agreement, the First Tier Agreement, the Second Tier Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, copies of each of the above having been
delivered to you, copies of the financing statements on Form UCC-1 filed in the filing offices listed in Schedule I hereto executed by the Originator, as debtor, in favor of the SPV, as secured party and showing the Agent, on behalf of the
Conduit Investors and the Alternate Investors, as the assignee of the secured party, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Originator Financing Statements”) and the Seller, as debtor, in favor of
the SPV, as secured party and showing the Agent, on behalf of the Conduit Investors and the Alternate Investors, as the assignee of the secured party, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Seller Financing

 Exhibit H - 1

 
the Alternate Investors, as secured party, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C [Should track the granting clause of the Agreement or if the SPV will only be
used for a single transaction a blanket lien may be given by the SPV to the Agent covering: all accounts, chattel paper, instruments, general intangibles, inventory, investment property and other property of the SPV, whether now or hereafter owned
or existing, and all proceeds of the foregoing] (the “SPV Financing Statements”). We have also examined the closing documents delivered pursuant to the Agreement, the First Tier Agreement, the Second Tier Agreement and
copies of all such documents and records, and have made such investigations of law, as we have deemed necessary and relevant as a basis for our opinion. With respect to the accuracy of material factual matters which were not independently
established, we have relied on certificates and statements of officers of the Originator, the Seller and the SPV. 
 On the
basis of the foregoing, we are of the opinion that: 
 1. The SPV is a corporation duly [incorporated], validly existing and in
good standing under the laws of [            ], has the [corporate] power and authority to own its properties and to carry on its business as now being conducted, and had at all relevant
times, and now has, all necessary power, authority, and legal right to acquire and own the Receivables and other Affected Assets, and is duly qualified and in good standing as a foreign [corporation] and is authorized to do business in each
jurisdiction in which the character of its properties or the nature of its business requires such qualification or authorization. 
 2. The Originator is a [corporation] duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of [            ], has the
[corporate] power and authority to own its properties and to carry on its business as now being conducted, and had at all relevant times, and now has, all necessary power, authority, and legal right to acquire and own the Receivables and other
Affected Assets, and is duly qualified and in good standing as a foreign [corporation] and is authorized to do business in each jurisdiction in which the character of its properties or the nature of its business requires such qualification or
authorization. 
 3. The Seller is a [corporation] duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of
[            ], has the [corporate] power and authority to own its properties and to carry on its business as now being conducted, and had at all relevant times, and now has, all necessary
power, authority, and legal right to acquire and own the Receivables and other Affected Assets, and is duly qualified and in good standing as a foreign [corporation] and is authorized to do business in each jurisdiction in which the character of its
properties or the nature of its business requires such qualification or authorization. 
 4. The SPV has the power, [corporate]
and other, and has taken all necessary [corporate] action to execute, deliver and perform the Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, each in accordance with its respective terms, and to consummate the transactions
contemplated thereby. The Transaction Documents to which the SPV is a party have been duly executed and delivered by the SPV and constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the SPV enforceable against the SPV in accordance with their
terms, except as enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency and other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles. 

  
 Exhibit H - 2

corporate action to execute, deliver and perform the First Tier Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, each in accordance with its respective terms, and to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby. The

6. The Seller has the power, [corporate] and other, and has taken all necessary corporate action to execute, deliver and perform the
Second Tier Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, each in accordance with its respective terms, and to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby. The Transaction Documents to which the Seller is a party have
been duly executed and delivered by the Seller and constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Seller enforceable against the Seller in accordance with their terms, except as enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency and other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles. 
 7. The execution, delivery and performance in accordance with their terms by the SPV of the Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, do
not and will not (i) require (a) any governmental approval or (b) any consent or approval of any stockholder of the SPV that has not been obtained, (ii) violate or conflict with, result in a breach of, or constitute a default

under (a) the certificate of incorporation or the by-laws of the Seller, (b) any other agreement to which the Seller is a party or by which the Seller or any of its properties may be
bound, or (c) any Law applicable to the Seller of any Official Body having jurisdiction over the Seller or any of its properties, or (iii) result in or require the creation or imposition of any Adverse Claim upon any of the assets,
property or revenue of the Seller other than as contemplated by the Second Tier Agreement. 
 10. Except as set forth in the
schedules attached hereto, there are not, in any court or before any arbitrator of any kind or before or by any governmental or non-governmental body, any actions, suits, proceedings, litigation or investigations, pending or to the best of our
knowledge, after due inquiry, threatened, (i) against the SPV or the business or any property of the SPV except actions, suits or proceedings that, if adversely determined, would not, singly or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect
or (ii) relating to the Agreement or any other Transaction Document. 
 11. Except as set forth in the schedules attached

inquiry, threatened, (i) against the Originator or the business or any property of the Originator except actions, suits or proceedings that, if adversely determined, would not, singly or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect or
(ii) relating to the First Tier Agreement or any other Transaction Document. 
 12. Except as set forth in the schedules
attached hereto, there are not, in any court or before any arbitrator of any kind or before or by any governmental or non-governmental body, any actions, suits, proceedings, litigation or investigations, pending or to the best of our knowledge,
after due inquiry, threatened, (i) against the Seller or the business or any property of the Seller except actions, suits or proceedings that, if adversely determined, would not, singly or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect or
(ii) relating to the Second Tier Agreement or any other Transaction Document. 
 13. The Receivables constitute [accounts]
[general intangibles][chattel paper] [instruments] [certificated securities] [uncertificated securities] [investment property] as [that] [such] term[s] [is] [are] defined in the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in [Insert the state whose law
governs] [XYZ]. 
 14. The First Tier Agreement creates a valid and enforceable security interest (as that term is defined
in Section 1-201(37) of the Uniform Commercial Code (including the conflict of laws rules thereof) (the “UCC”) as in effect in New York (the “New York UCC”) and
[            ] (the “[XYZ] UCC”), under Article 9 of the New York UCC (“First Tier Security Interest”) in favor of the SPV in the Receivables
and other Affected Assets and the proceeds thereof (except that the First Tier Security Interest will attach to any Receivable created after the date hereof only when the Originator possesses rights in such Receivable). The internal laws of [XYZ]
govern the perfection by the filing of financing statements of the First Tier Security Interest in the Receivables and the proceeds thereof. The Originator Financing Statement(s) have been filed in the filing office(s) located in [XYZ] listed in
Schedule I hereto, which [is] [are] the only office(s) in which filings are required under the [XYZ] UCC to perfect the First Tier Security 

  
 Exhibit H - 4

 
Interest in the Receivables and the proceeds thereof, and accordingly the First Tier Security Interest in each Receivable and the proceeds thereof will, on the date of the initial transfer under
the First Tier Agreement, be perfected under Article 9 of the [XYZ] UCC. All filing fees and all taxes required to be paid as a condition to or upon the filing of the Originator Financing Statement(s) in [XYZ] have been paid in full. As of the date
hereof, there were no (i) UCC financing statements naming the Originator as debtor, Originator or assignor and covering any Receivables or other Affected Assets or any interest therein or (ii) notices of the filing of any federal tax lien
(filed pursuant to Section 6323 of the Internal Revenue Code) or lien of the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (filed pursuant to Section 4068 of the Employment Retirement Income Security Act) covering any Receivable or other Affected
Asset or any interest therein. The filing of the Originator Financing Statement(s) in the filing offices listed in Schedule I will create a first priority security interest in each Receivable. Such perfection and priority will continue,
provided that appropriate continuation statements are timely filed where and when required under the UCC. 
 15. The Second Tier
Agreement creates a valid and enforceable security interest (as that term is defined in Section 1-201(37) of the Uniform Commercial Code (including the conflict of laws rules thereof) (the “UCC”) as in effect in New York
(the “New York UCC”) and [            ] (the “[XYZ] UCC”), under Article 9 of the New York UCC (“Second Tier Security
Interest”) in favor of the SPV in the Receivables and other Affected Assets and the proceeds thereof (except that the Second Tier Security Interest will attach to any Receivable created after the date hereof only when the Seller
possesses rights in such Receivable). The internal laws of [XYZ] govern the perfection by the filing of financing statements of the Second Tier Security Interest in the Receivables and the proceeds thereof. The Seller Financing Statement(s) have
been filed in the filing office(s) located in [XYZ] listed in Schedule I hereto, which [is] [are] the only office(s) in which filings are required under the [XYZ] UCC to perfect the Second Tier Security Interest in the Receivables and the
proceeds thereof, and accordingly the Second Tier Security Interest in each Receivable and the proceeds thereof will, on the date of the initial transfer under the Second Tier Agreement, be perfected under Article 9 of the [XYZ] UCC. All filing fees
and all taxes required to be paid as a condition to or upon the filing of the Seller and/or Seller Financing Statement(s) in [XYZ] have been paid in full. As of the date hereof, there were no (i) UCC financing statements naming the Seller as
debtor, Seller or assignor and covering any Receivables or other Affected Assets or any interest therein or (ii) notices of the filing of any federal tax lien (filed pursuant to Section 6323 of the Internal Revenue Code) or lien of the
Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (filed pursuant to Section 4068 of the Employment Retirement Income Security Act) covering any Receivable or other Affected Asset or any interest therein. The filing of the Seller Financing Statement(s) in
the filing offices listed in Schedule I will create a first priority security interest in each Receivable. Such perfection and priority will continue, provided that appropriate continuation statements are timely filed where and when required
under the UCC. 
 16. The Agreement creates a valid and enforceable security interest (as that term is defined in
Section 1-201(37) of the New York UCC and [            ] the [Note that the states in this paragraph 11 may be different that the stated in paragraph 10] ( the
“[ABC] UCC”), under Article 9 of the New York UCC (“Third Tier Security Interest”) in favor of the Agent in each Receivable and other Affected Assets (except that the Third Tier Security Interest will
attach only when the SPV possesses rights in such Receivable). The internal laws of [ABC] govern the 

  
 Exhibit H - 5

 
perfection by the filing of financing statements of the Third Tier Security Interest in the Receivables and the proceeds thereof. The SPV Financing Statement(s) have been filed in the filing
office(s) located in [ABC] listed in Schedule II hereto, which [is] [are] the only office(s) in which filings are required under the [ABC] UCC to perfect the Third Tier Security Interest in the Receivables and the proceeds thereof, and
accordingly the Third Tier Security Interest in each Receivable and the proceeds thereof will, on the date of the initial transfer under the Agreement, be perfected under Article 9 of the [ABC] UCC. All filing fees and all taxes required to be paid
as a condition to or upon the filing of the SPV Financing Statement(s) in [ABC] have been paid in full. As of the date hereof, there were no (i) UCC financing statements naming SPV as debtor, Originator or assignor and covering any Receivables
or other Affected Assets or any interest therein or (ii) notices of the filing of any federal tax lien (filed pursuant to Section 6323 of the Internal Revenue Code) or lien of the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (filed pursuant to
Section 4068 of the Employment Retirement Income Security Act) covering any Receivable or other Affected Assets or any interest therein. The filing of the SPV Financing Statement(s) in the filing offices listed in Schedule II will create
a first priority security interest in each Receivable. Such perfection and priority will continue, provided that appropriate continuation statements are timely filed where and when required under the UCC. [If the Receivables constitute
instruments, certificated securities or uncertificated securities, this paragraph should be redrafted to reflect different perfection requirements] 
 17. Neither the SPV, the Seller nor the Originator is, nor is controlled by, an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. 

In giving the opinions in paragraphs 14, 15 and 16, we have assumed that the Originator’s, the Seller’s and the
SPV’s chief executive office will continue to be located in [XYZ][ABC][, as applicable]. The conclusions expressed in paragraphs 14, 15 and 16 are subject to the accuracy of the personnel in the filing offices referred to above
with regard to the filing, indexing and recording of financing statements and notices of Adverse Claim, and to the correctness of reports to us by [Insert name of search company.]
[            ], who performed the searches of such records and who made the filings on behalf of the Originator, the Seller and the SPV in [XYZ][ABC][, as applicable]. 

In giving the opinions set forth in paragraphs 14, 15 and 16, we have assumed that all filings as appropriate in the event
of a change in the name, identity or corporate structure of the debtor (or the Originator or assignor) named in any financing statements and all continuation statements necessary under the UCC to maintain the perfection of the First Tier Security
Interest and the Second Tier Security Interest in the Receivables and the proceeds thereof will be duly and timely filed. In giving such opinions, we also do not express any opinion as to (a) transactions excluded from Article 9 of the UCC by
virtue of Section 9-104 of the UCC, (b) any security interest in proceeds except to the extent that the validity and perfection of any interest in proceeds (as such term is defined under the UCC) thereof that is covered by the Originator
Financing Statements, the Seller Financing Statements or the SPV Financing Statements or any duly filed financing statement referred to above may be permitted by Section 9-306 of the UCC, and (c) any security interest that is terminated or
released. 

  
 Exhibit H - 6

 The foregoing opinions and conclusions were given only in respect of the laws of [XYZ] [,
ABC], the State of New York and, to the extent specifically referred to herein, the Federal laws of the United States of America. 
 This opinion has been delivered at your request for the purposes contemplated by the Agreement. Without our prior written consent, this opinion is not to be utilized or quoted for any other purpose and no
one other than you is entitled to rely thereon; provided, that any Alternate Investor, any Program Support Provider [and any placement agent or dealer of any Conduit Investor’s commercial paper] may rely on this opinion as of it were

Company, the “Parties”) effective as of December 21, 2012 (the “Effective Date”), the date after which Prothena Corporation PLC (“Parent”) and Elan Corporation PLC (“Elan”)

 RECITALS 
 WHEREAS, the Company desires to assure itself of the services of
Executive by engaging Executive to perform services under the terms hereof; and 
 WHEREAS, Executive desires to provide
services to the Company on the terms herein provided. 
 AGREEMENT 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and for other good and valuable consideration, including the respective covenants and
agreements set forth below, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto agree as follows: 
  

	1.	Certain Definitions. 

 Capitalized terms not specifically defined in the text of this Agreement shall have the following meanings: 
 (a) “Affiliate” shall mean, with respect to any Person, any other Person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under common control with, such Person where
“control” shall have the meaning given such term under Rule 405 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended from time to time. 
 (b) “Board” shall mean the Board of Directors of the Company. 

(c) The Company shall have “Cause” to terminate Executive’s employment hereunder upon: (i) the willful and
continued failure to substantially perform Executive’s duties with the Company (other than as a result of physical or mental disability) after a written demand for substantial performance is delivered to Executive by the Parent Board, which
demand specifically identifies the manner in which the Parent Board believes that Executive has not substantially performed Executive’s duties and that has not been cured within thirty (30) days following receipt by Executive of the
written demand; (ii) commission of a felony (other than a traffic-related offense) that in the written determination of the Parent Board is likely to cause or has caused material injury to the Company’s business; (iii) documented
intentional 

  
 1 

 
misrepresentation or omission of material fact with respect to a significant matter relating to the Company’s business; or (iv) material breach of any agreement by and between Executive
and the Company, which material breach has not been cured within thirty (30) days following receipt by Executive of written notice from the Parent Board identifying such material breach. 

(d) “Change in Control” shall mean a Company Change in Control or a Parent Change in Control. For the avoidance of
doubt, in no event shall the transactions contemplated by the Demerger Agreement constitute a Change in Control. 
 (e)
“Company Change in Control” shall mean: (i) the consummation of a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another entity or any other corporate reorganization, if more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined
voting power of the continuing or surviving entity’s issued shares or securities outstanding immediately after such merger, consolidation or other reorganization is owned by persons who were not shareholders of the Company immediately prior to
such merger, consolidation or other reorganization; (ii) the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets; (iii) a transaction as a result of which any person or company (other than Parent or
any affiliate of Parent) obtains the ownership directly or indirectly of the shares in the Company carrying more than fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power represented by the Company’s issued share capital; (v) any transaction
as a result of which any person becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company,
representing at least fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power represented by the Company’s then outstanding voting securities (e.g., issued shares). The term “person” shall have the same meaning as when used in Sections
13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act but shall exclude (A) a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company or of any subsidiary of the Company and (B) a company owned directly or indirectly by
the shareholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of the shares of the Company. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of any amounts payable hereunder that constitute deferred compensation subject to
Section 409A, the definition of “Company Change in Control” set forth above shall not apply, and the term “Company Change in Control” shall instead mean a “change in the ownership or effective control” of the
Company or “in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets” of the Company within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(v) of the Code and the regulations and guidance issued thereunder, but only to the extent this substitute
definition is necessary in order for the payments to comply with the requirements prescribed by Section 409A. 
 (f)
“Code” shall mean the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. 
 (g) “Date of Termination”
shall mean (i) if Executive’s employment is terminated due to Executive’s death, the date of Executive’s death; (ii) if Executive’s employment is terminated due to Executive’s Disability, the date determined
pursuant to Section 4(a)(ii) hereof; 

  
 2 

 
or (iii) if Executive’s employment is terminated pursuant to Section 4(a)(iii)-(vi) hereof either the date indicated in the Notice of Termination or the date specified by the
Company pursuant to Section 4(b) hereof, whichever is earlier. 
 (h) “Disability” shall mean
Executive’s inability to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that (i) can be expected to result in death or that can be expected to last for a continuous period
of not less than twelve (12) months; or (ii) is, by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than twelve
(12) months, receiving income replacement benefits for a period of not less than three (3) months under an accident and health plan covering employees or directors of the Company. Medical determination of Disability may be made by either
the Social Security Administration or by the provider of an accident or health plan covering employees or directors of the Company provided that the definition of “disability” applied under such disability insurance program complies with
the requirements of the preceding sentence. Upon the request of the Board, Executive must submit proof to the plan administrator of the Social Security Administration’s or the provider’s determination. 

(i) Executive shall have “Good Reason” to terminate Executive’s employment hereunder after the occurrence of any of
the following without Executive’s written consent: (i) a material diminution in Executive’s base compensation; (ii) a material diminution in Executive’s authority, duties or responsibilities; (iii) a change in the
geographic location at which Executive must perform Executive’s services that increases Executive’s one-way commute by more than thirty (30) miles; or (iv) a material breach of this Agreement by the Company. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Executive shall not have “Good Reason” unless the condition giving rise to Executive’s resignation continues more than thirty (30) days following Executive’s written notice of the condition provided to the Company
within ninety (90) days of the first occurrence of such condition and Executive’s resignation is effective within one hundred eighty (180) days following the first occurrence of such condition. 

(j) “Parent Board” shall mean the Board of Directors of Parent. 

(k) “Parent Change in Control” shall mean: (i) the consummation of a merger or consolidation of Parent with or into
another entity or any other corporate reorganization, if more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the continuing or surviving entity’s issued shares or securities outstanding immediately after such merger,
consolidation or other reorganization is owned by persons who were not shareholders of Parent immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or other reorganization; (ii) the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of
Parent’s assets; (iii) individuals who as of the date the Parent Board first consists of at least seven members constitute the Parent Board (the “Original Directors”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority
of the Parent Board; provided, however, that any individual who becomes a director of Parent subsequent to the date the Parent Board first consists of at least seven members shall be considered an Original Director if the individual’s

  
 3 

 
election or nomination for election to the Parent Board was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the Original Directors; but, provided further that any such individual whose initial
assumption of office is in connection with an actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a person other than the Parent Board, including by reason of agreement intended to avoid or settle any such actual or
threatened contest or solicitation will not be considered an Original Director; (iv) a transaction as a result of which any person or company obtains the ownership directly or indirectly of the shares in Parent carrying more than fifty percent
(50%) of the total voting power represented by Parent’s issued share capital in pursuance of a compromise or arrangement sanctioned by the court under Section 201 of the Irish Companies Act 1963, as amended, or becomes bound or
entitled to acquire ordinary shares in Parent under Section 204 of the Irish Companies Act 1963, as amended; (v) any transaction as a result of which any person becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the
Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of Parent, representing at least fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power represented by the Parent’s then outstanding voting securities (e.g., issued shares). The term
“person” shall have the same meaning as when used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act but shall exclude (A) a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of Parent or of any subsidiary of
Parent and (B) a company owned directly or indirectly by the shareholders of Parent in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of the shares of Parent. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of any amounts payable hereunder that constitute deferred compensation subject to Section 409A, the definition of “Parent Change in Control” set
forth above shall not apply, and the term “Parent Change in Control” shall instead mean a “change in the ownership or effective control” of Parent or “in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets” of Parent
within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(v) of the Code and the regulations and guidance issued thereunder, but only to the extent this substitute definition is necessary in order for the payments to comply with the requirements prescribed
by Section 409A. 
 (l) “Person” shall mean any individual, natural person, corporation (including any
non-profit corporation), general partnership, limited partnership, limited liability partnership, joint venture, estate, trust, company (including any company limited by shares, limited liability company or joint stock company), incorporated or
unincorporated association, governmental authority, firm, society or other enterprise, organization or other entity of any nature. 
 (m) “Section 409A” shall mean Section 409A of the Code and the Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder, including without limitation any
such regulations or other guidance that may be issued after the date hereof. 
  

	2.	Employment.

and efforts to the business and affairs of Parent, the Company and its subsidiaries; and (iv) agrees to observe and comply with the rules and policies of Parent and the Company as adopted by Parent and the Company from time to time.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive may devote reasonable time to unpaid activities such as supervision of personal investments and activities involving professional, charitable, educational, religious, civic and similar types of activities,
speaking engagements and membership on committees, provided such activities do not individually or in the aggregate interfere with the performance of Executive’s duties under this Agreement, violate the Company’s standards of
conduct then in effect, or raise a conflict under Parent’s or the Company’s conflict of interest policies. Executive cannot serve on the board of directors of a private or publicly traded company (other than the Board and the Parent Board)

 5

plan pursuant to which it is granted and an award agreement to be entered into between Executive and the Company. 
 (e)
Benefits. During the Term, Executive may participate in such employee and executive benefit plans and programs as the Company may from time to time offer to provide to its employees and executives, pursuant to the terms and eligibility

 7 

 
specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon, (ii) setting forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of
Executive’s employment under the provision so indicated, and (iii) specifying a Date of Termination which, if submitted by Executive, shall be at least thirty (30) days following the date such notice is received by the Company (a

and directorships as then mutually agreed upon between Executive and the Company. 
  

	5.	Company Obligations upon Termination of Employment.

Executive’s spouse or domestic partner, if any, become eligible for healthcare coverage under another employer’s plan(s). After the Company ceases to pay premiums pursuant to the preceding sentence, Executive may, if eligible, elect to
continue healthcare coverage at Executive’s expense in accordance with the provisions of COBRA. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, with regard to such COBRA continuation coverage, if the Company determines in its sole discretion that it
cannot provide the foregoing benefit without potentially violating applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 2716 of the Public Health Service Act), the Company shall in lieu thereof provide to the Executive a taxable monthly
payment in an amount equal to the monthly COBRA premium that the Executive would be required to 

  
 10 

 
pay to continue the Executive’s and Executive’s covered dependents’ group insurance coverage as in effect on the Date of Termination (which amount shall be based on the premiums
for the first month of COBRA coverage); and 
 (v) If Executive commences a career transition assistance program
sponsored or arranged for by the Company within sixty (60) days following the Date of Termination, the Company shall pay for such program for a period of twelve (12) months. 

(d) Termination in Contemplation of Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 5(b) or 5(c), in
the event Executive is terminated by the Company without Cause or resigns for Good Reason and the event giving rise to such termination or resignation occurs at the direction of a person or entity that has entered into an agreement with the Company
that contemplates a transaction that, if consummated, would constitute a Change in Control, then for all purposes hereunder, including Section 5(b) and 5(c), such termination or resignation shall be deemed to have occurred within the twelve
(12) month period immediately following a Change in Control and Executive shall be entitled to the benefits set forth in Section 5(c) with such benefits to be paid, or commence being paid, upon the Date of Termination, but otherwise
subject to the terms and conditions of Section 5(c). 
 (e) No Other Severance. The provisions of this
Section 5 shall supersede in their entirety any severance payment provisions in any severance plan, policy, program or other arrangement maintained by the Company. 
 (f) No Requirement to Mitigate; Survival. Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided for under this Agreement by seeking other employment or in any other manner.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the termination of Executive’s employment and the expiration or termination of the Term shall not impair the rights or obligations of any party hereto. 

 

	6.	Restrictive Covenants. 

 (a) Affiliates. As used in this Section 6, the term “Company” shall include the Company and any Affiliate of the Company. 

(b) Confidential Information Agreement. Executive shall enter into and abide by the Company’s standard Employee Proprietary
Information and Invention Assignment Agreement (the “Confidential Information Agreement”). 
 (c)
Non-Competition. Without limiting the Confidential Information Agreement, Executive hereby agrees that Executive shall not, at any time during the Term, directly or indirectly engage in, have any interest in (including, without limitation,
through the investment of capital or lending of money or property), or manage, operate or otherwise render any services 

  
 11 

 
to, any Person (whether on his own or in association with others, as a principal, director, officer, employee, agent, representative, partner, member, security holder, consultant, advisor,
independent contractor, owner, investor, participant or in any other capacity) that engages in (either directly or through any subsidiary or affiliate thereof) any business or activity in the United States (i) that is in direct or indirect
competition with the business of the Company, or (ii) which the Company has taken active steps to engage in or acquire, but only if Executive directly or indirectly engages in, has any interest in (including, without limitation, through the
investment of capital or lending of money or property), or manages, operates or otherwise renders any services in connection with, such business or activity (whether on his own or in association with others, as a principal, director, officer,
employee, agent, representative, partner, member, security holder, consultant, advisor, independent contractor, owner, investor, participant or in any other capacity). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive shall be permitted to acquire a passive
stock or equity interest in such a business; provided that such stock or other equity interest acquired is not more than one percent (1%) of the outstanding interest in such business. 

(d) Non-Solicitation. Without limiting the Confidential Information Agreement, Executive hereby agrees that Executive shall not,
at any time during the Term or, with respect to subsection (ii) below, within the one (1) year period immediately following the Term, directly or indirectly, either for himself or on behalf of any other Person, (i) recruit or
otherwise solicit or induce any employee or consultant of the Company to terminate its employment or arrangement with the Company, or otherwise change its relationship with the Company, or (ii) hire, or cause to be hired, any person who was
employed by the Company at any time during the twelve (12) month period immediately prior to the Date of Termination or who thereafter becomes employed by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent Executive from
directly or indirectly hiring any individual who submits a resume or otherwise applies for a position in response to a publicly posted job announcement or otherwise applies for employment with any Person with whom Executive may be associated absent
any violation of Executive’s obligations pursuant to clause (i) above. 
 (e) Non-Disclosure. Without limiting
the Confidential Information Agreement, except as Executive reasonably and in good faith determines to be required in the faithful performance of Executive’s duties hereunder or in accordance with Section 6(g) below, Executive shall,
during the Term and after the Date of Termination, maintain in confidence and shall not directly or indirectly, use, disseminate, disclose or publish, for Executive’s benefit or the benefit of any other Person, any confidential or proprietary
information or trade secrets of or relating to the Company, including, without limitation, information with respect to the Company’s operations, processes, protocols, products, inventions, business practices, finances, principals, vendors,
suppliers, customers, potential customers, marketing methods, costs, prices, contractual relationships, regulatory status, compensation paid to employees or other terms of employment (“Proprietary Information”), or deliver to any
Person, any document, record, notebook, computer program or similar repository of or containing any such Proprietary Information. Executive’s obligation to maintain and not use, disseminate, disclose or publish, or

  
 12 

 
use for Executive’s benefit or the benefit of any other Person, any Proprietary Information after the Date of Termination will continue so long as such Proprietary Information is not, or has
not by legitimate means become, generally known and in the public domain (other than by means of Executive’s direct or indirect disclosure of such Proprietary Information) and continues to be maintained as Proprietary Information by the
Company. The parties hereby stipulate and agree that as between them, the Proprietary Information identified herein is important, material and affects the successful conduct of the businesses of the Company (and any successor or assignee of the
Company). 
 (f) Return of Company Property. Upon termination of Executive’s employment with the Company for any
reason, Executive will promptly deliver to the Company (i) all correspondence, drawings, manuals, letters, notes, notebooks, reports, programs, plans, proposals, financial documents, or any other documents that are Proprietary Information,
including all physical and digital copies thereof, and (ii) all other Company property (including, without limitation, any personal computer or wireless device and related accessories, keys, credit cards and other similar items) which is in his
possession, custody or control. 
 (g) Disclosure of Agreements. Prior to accepting other employment or any other service
relationship during the Term or the one (1) year period immediately following the Term, Executive shall provide a copy of this Section 6 and the Confidential Information Agreement to any recruiter who assists Executive in obtaining other
employment or any other service relationship and to any employer or other Person with which Executive discusses potential employment or any other service relationship. 
 (h) Revision. In the event the terms of this Section 6 shall be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable by reason of its extending for too great a period of time
or over too great a geographical area or by reason of its being too extensive in any other respect, it will be interpreted to extend only over the maximum period of time for which it may be enforceable, over the maximum geographical area as to which
it may be enforceable, or to the maximum extent in all other respects as to which it may be enforceable, all as determined by such court in such action. Any breach or violation by Executive of the provisions of this Section 6 shall toll the
running of any time periods set forth in this Section 6 for the duration of any such breach or violation. 
  

	7.	Injunctive Relief. 

It is recognized and acknowledged by Executive that a breach of the covenants contained in Section 6 above will cause irreparable
damage to Company and its goodwill, the exact amount of which will be difficult or impossible to ascertain, and that the remedies at law for any such breach will be inadequate. Accordingly, Executive agrees that in the event of a breach of any of
the covenants contained in Section 6 above, in addition to any other remedy which may be available at law or in equity, the Company will be entitled to specific performance and injunctive relief. 

  
 13 

	8.	Assignment and Successors. 

 The Company may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any successor to all or substantially all of the business or the assets of the Company (by merger or otherwise). This Agreement
shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company, Executive and their respective successors, assigns, personnel and legal representatives, executors, administrators, heirs, distributees, devisees, and legatees, as applicable. None of
Executive’s rights or obligations may be assigned or transferred by Executive, other than Executive’s rights to payments hereunder, which may be transferred only by will or operation of law. 

 

	9.	Miscellaneous Provisions. 

 (a) Defense of Claims. Executive agrees that, during the Term and for a period of twelve (12) months after the Date of Termination, upon request from the Company, Executive will cooperate with
the Company and its Affiliates in the defense of any claims or actions that may be made by or against the Company or any of its Affiliates that affect Executive’s prior areas of responsibility, except if Executive’s reasonable interests
are adverse to the Company or Affiliates in such claim or action. The Company agrees to promptly pay or reimburse Executive upon demand for all of Executive’s reasonable travel and other direct expenses incurred, or to be reasonably incurred,
to comply with Executive’s obligations under this Section 9(a). In addition, if the cumulative service required of Executive under this Section 9(a) exceeds 15 hours, the Company shall pay Executive an hourly rate for any additional
services to be provided under this Section 9(a), such hourly rate to be not less than Executive’s annual base salary as of immediately prior to Executive’s termination of employment divided by 2,080. 

(b) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed, construed, interpreted and enforced in accordance with its express terms, and
otherwise in accordance with the substantive laws of the State of California, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law, whether of the State of California or any other jurisdiction, and where applicable, the laws of the United
States, that would result in the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. 
 (c) Validity. The invalidity or
unenforceability of any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect. 

  
 14

(ii) If to Executive, at the address set forth on the signature page hereto or at any other address as any Party shall
have specified by notice in writing to the other Party. 
 (e) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same Agreement. Signatures delivered by facsimile shall be deemed effective for all purposes. 

(f) Entire Agreement. The terms of this Agreement are intended by the Parties to be the final expression of their agreement with
respect to the employment of Executive by the Company and supersede all prior understandings and agreements, whether written or oral. The Parties further intend that this Agreement shall constitute the complete and exclusive statement of their terms
and that no extrinsic evidence whatsoever may be introduced in any judicial, administrative, or other legal proceeding to vary the terms of this Agreement. 
 (g) Amendments; Waivers. This Agreement may not be modified, amended, or terminated except by an instrument in writing, signed by Executive and a duly authorized officer of Company. By an
instrument in writing similarly executed, Executive or a duly authorized officer of the Company, as applicable, may waive compliance by the other Party with any specifically identified provision of this Agreement that such other Party was or is
obligated to comply with or perform; provided, however, that such waiver shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any other or subsequent failure. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising any right,
remedy, or power hereunder preclude any other or further exercise of any other right, remedy, or power provided herein or by law or in equity. 
 (h) Forum. Any suit brought hereon shall be brought in the state or federal courts sitting in San Mateo County, California, and the Parties hereby waiving any claim or defense that such forum is
not convenient or proper. Each Party hereby agrees that any such court shall have in personam jurisdiction over it and consents to service of process in any manner authorized by California law. 

  
 15 

 (i) Enforcement. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or
unenforceable under present or future laws effective during the term of this Agreement, such provision shall be fully severable; this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never
comprised a portion of this Agreement; and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance from this Agreement.
Furthermore, in lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision there shall be added automatically as part of this Agreement a provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible and be
legal, valid and enforceable. 
 (j) Withholding. The Company shall be entitled to withhold from any amounts payable
under this Agreement any federal, state, local or foreign withholding or other taxes or charges which the Company is required to withhold. The Company shall be entitled to rely on an opinion of counsel if any questions as to the amount or
requirement of withholding shall arise. 
  

	10.	Golden Parachute Excise Tax. 

 (a) Best Pay. Any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if any payment or benefit Executive would receive from the Company pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise
(“Payment”) would (i) constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and (ii) but for this sentence, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code
(the “Excise Tax”), then such Payment will be equal to the Reduced Amount (as defined below). The “Reduced Amount” will be either (l) the largest portion of the Payment that would result in no portion of the
Payment (after reduction) being subject to the Excise Tax or (2) the entire Payment, whichever amount after taking into account all applicable federal, state and local employment taxes, income taxes, and the Excise Tax (all computed at the
highest applicable marginal rate, net of the maximum reduction in federal income taxes which could be obtained from a deduction of such state and local taxes), results in Executive’ s receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the greater economic
benefit notwithstanding that all or some portion of the Payment may be subject to the Excise Tax. If a reduction in a Payment is required pursuant to the preceding sentence and the Reduced Amount is determined pursuant to clause (1) of the
preceding sentence, the reduction shall occur in the manner (the “Reduction Method”) that results in the greatest economic benefit for Executive. If more than one method of reduction will result in the same economic benefit, the
items so reduced will be reduced pro rata (the “Pro Rata Reduction Method”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Reduction Method or the Pro Rata Reduction Method would result in any portion of the Payment being subject to taxes
pursuant to Section 409A of the Code that would not otherwise be subject to taxes pursuant to Section 409A of the Code, then the Reduction Method and/or the Pro Rata Reduction Method, as the case may be, shall be modified so as to avoid
the imposition of taxes pursuant to Section 409A of the Code as follows: (A) as a first priority, the modification shall preserve to the greatest extent possible, the greatest economic benefit for you as determined on an after-tax basis;
(B) as a second 

  
 16 

 
priority, Payments that are contingent on future events (e.g., being terminated without cause), shall be reduced (or eliminated) before Payments that are not contingent on future events; and
(C) as a third priority, Payments that are “deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code shall be reduced (or eliminated) before Payments that are not deferred compensation within the meaning of
Section 409A of the Code. 
 (b) Accounting Firm. The accounting firm engaged by the Company for general tax
purposes as of the day prior to the Change in Control will perform the calculations set forth in Section 10(a) above. If the firm so engaged by the Company is serving as accountant or auditor for the acquiring company, the Company will appoint
a nationally recognized accounting firm to make the determinations required hereunder. The Company will bear all expenses with respect to the determinations by such firm required to be made hereunder. The accounting firm engaged to make the
determinations hereunder will provide its calculations, together with detailed supporting documentation, to the Company within fifteen (15) days before the consummation of a Change in Control (if requested at that time by the Company) or such
other time as requested by the Company. If the accounting firm determines that no Excise Tax is payable with respect to a Payment, either before or after the application of the Reduced Amount, it will furnish the Company with documentation
reasonably acceptable to the Company that no Excise Tax will be imposed with respect to such Payment. Any good faith determinations of the accounting firm made hereunder will be final, binding and conclusive upon the Company and Executive.

  

	11.	Section 409A. 

(a) General. The intent of the Parties is that the payments and benefits under this Agreement comply with or be exempt from
Section 409A and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted to be in compliance therewith. If Executive notifies the Company that Executive has received advice of tax counsel of a national reputation with
expertise in Section 409A that any provision of this Agreement would cause Executive to incur any additional tax or interest under Section 409A (with specificity as to the reason therefor) or the Company independently makes such
determination, the Company and Executive shall take commercially reasonable efforts to reform such provision to try to comply with or be exempt from Section 409A through good faith modifications to the minimum extent reasonably appropriate to
conform with Section 409A, provided that any such modifications shall not increase the cost or liability to the Company. To the extent that any provision hereof is modified in order to comply with or be exempt from Section 409A,
such modification shall be made in good faith and shall, to the maximum extent reasonably possible, maintain the original intent and economic benefit to Executive and the Company of the applicable provision without violating the provisions of
Section 409A. 
 (b) Separation from Service. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this
Agreement: (i) no amount that constitutes “deferred compensation” under Section 409A shall be payable pursuant to Sections 5(b), 5(c) and 5(d) above unless the termination of Executive’s employment constitutes a
“separation from service” within the meaning of Section 1.409A-1(h) 

  
 17 

 
of the Department of Treasury Regulations (“Separation from Service”); and (ii) to the extent that any reimbursement of expenses or in-kind benefits constitutes
“deferred compensation” under Section 409A, such reimbursement or benefit shall be provided no later than December 31st of the year following the year in which the expense was incurred. The amount of expenses reimbursed in one year shall
not affect the amount eligible for reimbursement in any subsequent year. The amount of any in-kind benefits provided in one year shall not affect the amount of in-kind benefits provided in any other year. 

(c) Specified Employee. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if Executive is deemed by the Company at the
time of Executive’s Separation from Service to be a “specified employee” for purposes of Section 409A, to the extent delayed commencement of any portion of the benefits to which Executive is entitled under this Agreement is
required in order to avoid a prohibited distribution under Section 409A, such portion of Executive’s benefits shall not be provided to Executive prior to the earlier of (i) the expiration of the six (6)-month period measured from the
date of Executive’s Separation from Service with the Company or (ii) the date of Executive’s death. Upon the first business day following the expiration of the applicable Section 409A period, all payments deferred pursuant to the
preceding sentence shall be paid in a lump sum to Executive (or Executive’s estate or beneficiaries), and any remaining payments due to Executive under this Agreement shall be paid as otherwise provided herein. 

(d) Release. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, to the extent that any payments due under this Agreement
as a result of Executive’s termination of employment are subject to Executive’s execution and delivery of a Release, (i) the Company shall deliver the Release to Executive within ten (10) business days following the Date of
Termination, and the Company’s failure to deliver a Release prior to the expiration of such ten (10) business day period shall constitute a waiver of any requirement to execute a Release, (ii) if Executive fails to execute the Release
on or prior to the Release Expiration Date (as defined below) or timely revokes his acceptance of the Release thereafter, Executive shall not be entitled to any payments or benefits otherwise conditioned on the Release, and (iii) in any case
where the Date of Termination and the Release Expiration Date fall in two separate taxable years, any payments required to be made to Executive that are conditioned on the Release and are treated as nonqualified deferred compensation for purposes of
Section 409A shall be made in the later taxable year. For purposes of this Section 11(d), “Release Expiration Date” shall mean the date that is twenty-one (21) days following the date upon which the Company timely
delivers the Release to Executive, or, in the event that Executive’s termination of employment is “in connection with an exit incentive or other employment termination program” (as such phrase is defined in the Age Discrimination in
Employment Act of 1967), the date that is forty-five (45) days following such delivery date. To the extent that any payments of nonqualified deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A) due under this Agreement as a result of
Executive’s termination of employment are delayed pursuant to this Section 11(d), such amounts shall be paid in a lump sum on the first payroll date following the date that Executive executes and does not revoke the Release (and the
applicable revocation period has expired) or, in the case of any payments subject to Section 11(d)(iii), on the first payroll period to occur in the subsequent taxable year, if later.

	12.	Employee Acknowledgement. 

 Executive acknowledges that Executive has read and understands this Agreement, is fully aware of its legal effect, has not acted in reliance upon any representations or promises made by the Company other
than those contained in writing herein, and has entered into this Agreement freely based on Executive’s own judgment. 

[Signature Page Follows]
