If the Company does not obtain such relief after a period that is reasonable under the circumstances, Executive (or such Covered Entity) may disclose that portion of the Confidential and Proprietary Information that such party is advised by counsel that it is legally compelled to disclose or else stand liable for contempt or suffer censure or penalty.  In such cases, Executive shall promptly provide the Company with a copy of the Confidential and Proprietary Information so disclosed.  Executive further agrees to execute the Company's standard proprietary information and inventions assignment agreement or similar agreement.

4.8            Non-Compete and Non-Solicitation:

(a)            Except as otherwise explicitly permitted by the last sentence of this Section 4.8(a) of this Agreement, during the Term and thereafter for a period of (i) the term of any Without Cause Severance Package, Good Reason Severance Package or Permanent Disability Severance Package, as applicable, or (ii) 12 months, whichever is longer, Executive shall not, either directly or indirectly, individually or by or through any Covered Entity, participate in, assist, aid or advise in any way, any business or enterprise that competes with the Business in the Territory (including, without limitation, providing services to any customer or other person or entity in the Territory).

(b)            During the Term and thereafter for a period of (i) the term of any Without Cause Severance Package, Good Reason Severance Package or Permanent Disability Severance Package, as applicable, or (ii) 12 months, whichever is longer, Executive will not, either directly or indirectly and will not permit any Covered Entity which is Controlled by Executive to, either directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, or take any other action that is intended to solicit, the business of any customers or Referral Sources with which the Company or any of its Affiliates conducts business or receives referrals or has conducted business or received referrals within the 12 months preceding such solicitation or other action; or (ii) hire, solicit, take away, or attempt to hire, solicit or take away (either on such Executive's behalf or on behalf of any other person or entity) any person (i) who is then an employee of the Company or any Affiliate of the Company; or (ii) who has terminated his or her employment with the Company or any Affiliate of the Company within the three months preceding such hiring, solicitation or other action.

(c)            Executive agrees that the payment of any amount of any Without Cause Severance Package, Good Reason Severance Package or Permanent Disability Severance Package is conditioned on Executive's compliance with this Section 4.8 and that the Company will have the right to withhold payment if Executive is in breach of this Section 4.8.

4.9            Enforcement; Remedies:  Executive agrees and acknowledges that the Company has a valid and legitimate business interest in protecting the Business in the Territory from any activity prohibited by Section 4.7 or 4.8 of this Agreement.  Executive acknowledges that Executive's expertise in the Business is of a special and unique character which gives this expertise a particular value, and that a breach of Section 4.7 or 4.8 of this Agreement by Executive will cause serious and potentially irreparable harm to the Company.  Executive therefore acknowledges that a breach of Section 4.7 or 4.8 of this Agreement by Executive cannot be adequately compensated in an action for damages at law, and equitable relief would be necessary to protect the Company from a violation of this Agreement and from the harm which this Agreement is intended to prevent.  By reason thereof, Executive acknowledges that the Company is entitled, in addition to any other remedies it may have under this Agreement or otherwise, to preliminary and permanent injunctive and other equitable relief to prevent or curtail any breach of this Agreement without any requirement to post bond. Executive acknowledges, however, that no specification in this Agreement of a particular legal or equitable remedy may be construed as a waiver of or prohibition against pursuing other legal or equitable remedies in the event of a breach of this Agreement by Executive.

5.1            Salary:  Base compensation equal to an annual salary of $325,000 is to be paid according to the Company's general payroll practices as same may exist from time to time.

14.0            JOINT PREPARATION.  All parties to this Agreement have negotiated it at length, and have had the opportunity to consult with and be represented by their own competent counsel. This Agreement is therefore deemed to have been jointly prepared by the parties, and any uncertainty or ambiguity existing in it shall not be interpreted against any party, but rather shall be interpreted according to the rules generally governing the interpretation of contracts.

(a)            Any controversy, claim or dispute involving the parties (or their affiliated persons or entities) directly or indirectly concerning this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, shall be finally settled by arbitration held in Los Angeles, CA by one (1) arbitrator in accordance with the rules of employment arbitration then followed by the American Arbitration Association or any successor to the functions thereof.  The arbitrator shall apply California law in the resolution of all controversies, claims and disputes and shall have the right and authority to determine how his or her decision or determination as to each issue or matter in dispute may be implemented or enforced.

(b)            The parties hereto agree that any action to compel arbitration pursuant to this Agreement may be brought in any appropriate state court in California, and in connection with such action to compel, the laws of California shall control.

(c)            Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief, in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce this Agreement and this Section 16.0 shall not limit the right of the Company to seek judicial relief pursuant to Section 4.9 of this Agreement without prior arbitration.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, in the event that Executive is entitled under this Agreement to receive the Without Cause Severance Package, Good Reason Severance Package or Permanent Disability Severance Package, as applicable, such severance amounts to which Executive is entitled (subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 4.8(c) hereof) shall not be reduced as a result of any duty to mitigate damages or by the amount of compensation Executive receives from other employers during the period in which such severance amounts are paid.

On the date of the 2000 Agreement, each of the Originators party thereto made a dividend to Parent of all of such Originator’s right, title and interest in and to 100% of its Receivables in existence as of the close of business on its Initial Cutoff Date, together with the associated Related Security and Collections, and Parent contributed all of such Receivables and the associated Related Security and 

Collections to Buyer’s capital (such Receivables, the “Initial Contributed Receivables” and, together with the associated Related Security and Collections, the “Initial Contributed Assets”) in exchange for 100% of the authorized Equity Interests of Buyer.
Parent intended the contribution of the Initial Contributed Assets to be an absolute conveyance by Parent to Buyer thereof, providing Buyer with the full benefits of ownership of such Initial Contributed Assets, and neither Parent nor Buyer intended such contribution to be, or for any purpose to be characterized as, a loan from Buyer to Parent.
Each of the Originators wishes to continue to sell and assign to Buyer, and Buyer wishes to continue to purchase from each Originator, all of such Originator’s right, title and interest in and to its existing and future Receivables (other than Initial Contributed Receivables), together with the Related Security and Collections with respect thereto.
Each of the Originators and Buyer intend the transactions contemplated hereby to be true sales to Buyer by such Originator of the Receivables originated by it, providing Buyer with the full benefits of ownership of such Receivables, and none of the Originators nor Buyer intends these transactions to be, or for any purpose to be characterized as, loans from Buyer to such Originator.
Buyer intends to finance its purchase of Receivables from the Originators, in part, by borrowing pursuant to that certain Fifth Amended and Restated Credit and Security Agreement dated as of the date hereof (as amended, restated and/or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the “Credit and Security Agreement”) among Buyer, Rock-Tenn Converting Company, as initial Servicer, each of the lenders and co-agents from time to time party thereto and Coöperatieve Centrale Raiffeisen-Boerenleenbank B.A., “Rabobank Nederland”, New York Branch, as administrative agent (in such last capacity, together with its successors and permitted assigns in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) and as funding agent.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
ARTICLE I 
AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF THE PURCHASE
Section 1.1    Initial Dividend and Contribution of Receivables.  On the date of the 2000 Agreement:
(a)    Each of the Originators party to the 2000 Agreement made a dividend to Parent of the Initial Contributed Assets; and

2    

(b)    Parent contributed, assigned, transferred, set-over and otherwise conveyed to Buyer, and Buyer accepted from Parent, the Initial Contributed Assets, in exchange for the issuance of 100% of Buyer’s Equity Interests.
(c)    It is the intention of the parties hereto that (i) the distribution by each Originator party to the 2000 Agreement to Parent of the Initial Contributed Assets originated by such Originator, and (ii) the subsequent contribution thereof by Parent to Buyer thereunder, each constituted an outright assignment of such Initial Contributed Assets, which assignment was absolute and irrevocable and which assignments collectively provided Buyer with the full benefits of ownership of the Initial Contributed Assets.  The distribution to Parent of Initial Contributed Assets originated by each such Originator was made without recourse to such Originator, and the contribution of such Initial Contributed Assets to Buyer was made without recourse to Parent; provided, however, that (i) such Originator remained liable to Parent and its assigns for all representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities made by such Originator pursuant to the terms of the 2000 Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which such Originator was then a  party, (ii) Parent remained liable to Buyer and its assigns for all representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities made by Parent, and (iii) such distribution and contribution did not constitute, and were and are not intended to result in, an assumption by Buyer or any assignee thereof of any obligation of such Originator or any other Person arising in connection with the Initial Contributed Assets or any other obligations of such Originator.   Each Originator party to the 2000 Agreement and Parent agrees that it has marked its master data processing records relating to the Initial Contributed Assets originated (or, in the case of Parent, contributed) by it with a legend acceptable to Buyer and to the administrative agent under the 2000 Agreement (as Buyer’s assignee), evidencing that Buyer acquired such Initial Contributed Assets as provided in the 2000 Agreement and to note in its financial statements that the Initial Contributed Assets were distributed to Parent and contributed to Buyer’s capital.   Upon the request of Buyer or the Administrative Agent (as Buyer’s assignee), each such Originator and Parent will execute and file such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto or assignments thereof, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or appropriate to perfect and maintain the perfection of Buyer’s ownership interest in the Initial Contributed Assets to the extent that any such assets remain in existence on the date of this Agreement.
Section 1.2    Purchase of Receivables (Other than Initial Contributed Receivables).  
(a)    In consideration for the Purchase Price paid to each Originator and upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, each Originator does hereby sell, assign, transfer, set-over and otherwise convey to Buyer, without recourse (except to the extent expressly provided herein), and Buyer does hereby purchase from such Originator, all of such Originator’s right, title and interest in and to all Receivables originated by such Originator and existing as of the close of business on the Initial Cutoff Date applicable to such Originator (other than the 

3    

Initial Contributed Receivables) and all Receivables thereafter originated by such Originator through and including the applicable Termination Date, together, in each case, with all Related Security relating thereto and all Collections thereof.   In accordance with the preceding sentence, Buyer shall acquire all of such Originator’s right, title and interest in and to all Receivables existing as of the Initial Cutoff Date applicable to such Originator (other than the Initial Contributed Receivables) and thereafter arising through and including the applicable Termination Date, together with all Related Security relating thereto and all Collections thereof.   Buyer shall be obligated to pay the Purchase Price for the Receivables purchased hereunder from each Originator in accordance with Section 1.3.
(b)    On the 25th day of each month hereafter (or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day thereafter), each Originator shall (or shall require the Servicer to) deliver to Buyer a report in substantially the form of Exhibit VII hereto (each such report being herein called a “Purchase Report”) with respect to the Receivables sold by such Originator to Buyer during the Settlement Period then most recently ended.  In addition to, and not in limitation of, the foregoing, in connection with the payment of the Purchase Price for any Receivables purchased hereunder, Buyer may request that the applicable Originator deliver, and such Originator shall deliver, such approvals, opinions, information or documents as Buyer (or the Administrative Agent, as Buyer’s assignee) may reasonably request.
(c)    It is the intention of the parties hereto that the Purchase of Receivables (other than Initial Contributed Receivables) from each Originator made under the 2000 Agreement, 2005 Agreement, 2008 Agreement, 2011 Agreement or hereunder, as applicable, shall constitute a sale, which sale is absolute and irrevocable and provides Buyer with the full benefits of ownership of the Receivables (other than Initial Contributed Receivables) originated by such Originator.   Except for the Purchase Price Credits owed by such Originator pursuant to Section 1.4, the sale of Receivables hereunder by each Originator is made without recourse to such Originator; provided, however, that (i) such Originator shall be liable to Buyer for all representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities made by such Originator pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Documents to which such Originator is a party, and (ii) such sale does not constitute and is not intended to result in an assumption by Buyer or any assignee thereof of any obligation of such Originator or any other Person arising in connection with such Receivables, the related Contracts and/or other Related Security or any other obligations of such Originator.   In view of the intention of the parties hereto that the sale of Receivables (other than Initial Contributed Receivables) by each Originator hereunder shall constitute a sale of such Receivables rather than loans secured thereby, each Originator agrees that it has marked (or will, on or prior to the date hereof and in accordance with Section 4.1(e)(ii), mark) its master data processing records relating to the Receivables (other than Initial Contributed Receivables) originated by it with a legend acceptable to Buyer and to the Administrative Agent (as Buyer’s assignee),

evidencing that Buyer has purchased such Receivables and to note in its financial statements that its Receivables have been sold to Buyer.   Upon the request of Buyer or the Administrative Agent (as Buyer’s assignee), each Originator will execute and file such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto or assignments thereof, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or appropriate to perfect and maintain the perfection of Buyer’s ownership interest in the Receivables (other than Initial Contributed Receivables) originated by such Originator and the Related Security and Collections with respect thereto, or as Buyer or the Administrative Agent (as Buyer’s assignee) may reasonably request.
Section 1.3    Payment for the Purchases.  (a) The Purchase Price for the Purchase from each Originator of its Receivables in existence as of the close of business on the Initial Cutoff Date applicable to such Originator (other than the Initial Contributed Receivables) shall be payable in full by Buyer to such Originator on the Purchase Date applicable to such Originator, and shall be paid to such Originator in the following manner:
(i)    by delivery of immediately available funds, to the extent of funds made available to Buyer in connection with its subsequent pledge of such Receivables to the Lenders under the Credit and Security Agreement, and/or
(ii)    by delivery of the proceeds of a subordinated revolving loan from such Originator to Buyer (a “Subordinated Loan”) in an amount not to exceed the least of (A) the remaining unpaid portion of such Purchase Price and (B) the maximum Subordinated Loan that could be borrowed without rendering Buyer’s Net Worth less than the Required Capital Amount.   Each Originator is hereby authorized by Buyer to endorse on the schedule attached to its Subordinated Note an appropriate notation evidencing the date and amount of each advance thereunder, as well as the date of each payment with respect thereto, provided that the failure to make such notation shall not affect any obligation of Buyer thereunder.
The Purchase Price for each Receivable coming into existence after the Initial Cutoff Date shall be due and owing in full by Buyer to the applicable Originator or its designee on the date each such Receivable came into existence (except that Buyer may, with respect to any such Purchase Price, offset against such Purchase Price any amounts owed by such Originator to Buyer hereunder and which have become due but remain unpaid) and shall be paid to such Originator in the manner provided in the following paragraphs (b), (c) and (d).
(b)    With respect to any Receivables coming into existence on or after the Purchase Date applicable to an Originator, on each Settlement Date, Buyer shall pay such Originator the Purchase Price therefor in accordance with Section 1.3(d) and in the following manner:

5    

first, by delivery to such Originator or its designee of immediately available funds; and/or
second, by delivery to such Originator or its designee of the proceeds of a Subordinated Loan, provided that the making of any such Subordinated Loan shall be subject to the provisions set forth in Section 1.3(a)(ii).
Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 1.3(a)(ii), each Originator irrevocably agrees to advance each Subordinated Loan requested by Buyer on or prior to the applicable Termination Date.   The Subordinated Loans owing to each Originator shall be evidenced by, and shall be payable in accordance with the terms and provisions of its Subordinated Note and shall be payable solely from cash available to Buyer after payment of all amounts due in respect of the Senior Claim (as defined in the Subordinated Note) or to become due in respect of the Senior Claim within 30 days of the date of proposed payment on the Subordinated Note.
(c)    From and after the applicable Termination Date, no Originator shall be obligated to (but may, at its option) sell Receivables to Buyer.
(d)    Although the Purchase Price for each Receivable coming into existence after the Initial Cutoff Date shall be due and payable in full by Buyer to the applicable Originator on the date such Receivable came into existence, settlement of the Purchase Price between Buyer and such Originator shall be effected on a monthly basis on Settlement Dates with respect to all Receivables originated by such Originator during the same Calculation Period and based on the information contained in the Purchase Report delivered by such Originator for the Calculation Period then most recently ended.   Although settlement shall be effected on Settlement Dates, increases or decreases in the amount owing under the Subordinated Note made pursuant to Section 1.3 shall be deemed to have occurred and shall be effective as of the last Business Day of the Calculation Period to which such settlement relates.
Section 1.4    Purchase Price Credit Adjustments.  If on any day:
(a)    the Outstanding Balance of a Receivable purchased from any Originator is:
(i)    reduced as a result of any defective or rejected or returned goods or services, any cash discounts, any volume discounts or any adjustment or otherwise by such Originator or any Affiliate thereof (other than as a result of a charge-off of such Receivable  or cash Collections applied to such Receivable),
(ii)    reduced or canceled as a result of a setoff in respect of any claim by any Person (whether such claim arises out of the same or a related transaction or an unrelated transaction), 
(iii)    reduced on account of the obligation of such Originator or any Affiliate thereof to pay to the related Obligor any rebate or refund, or

6    

(iv)    less on the date of its sale then the amount reflected in the applicable Purchase Report, or
(b)    any of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 2.1(i), (j), (l), (r), (s), (t), (u) and the second sentence of Section 2.1(q) hereof is not true when made or deemed made with respect to any such Receivable,
then, in such event, Buyer shall be entitled to a credit (each, a “Purchase Price Credit”) against the Purchase Price otherwise payable to the applicable Originator hereunder equal to (x) in the case of clauses (a)(i) – (iv) above, the amount of such reduction or cancellation or the difference between the actual Outstanding Balance and the amount reflected in the applicable Purchase Report, as applicable, and (y) in the case of clause (b) above, the amount of the Outstanding Balance of such Receivable, which shall be reconveyed by the Buyer to the applicable Originator following receipt of such amount.  If such Purchase Price Credit exceeds the Original Balance of the Receivables originated by the applicable Originator on any day, such Originator shall pay the remaining amount of such Purchase Price Credit in cash immediately, provided that if the applicable Termination Date has not occurred, such Originator shall be allowed to deduct the remaining amount of such Purchase Price Credit from any indebtedness owed to it under its Subordinated Note.
Section 1.5    Payments and Computations, Etc.  All amounts to be paid or deposited by Buyer hereunder shall be paid or deposited in accordance with the terms hereof on the day when due in immediately available funds to the account of the applicable Originator designated from time to time by such Originator or as otherwise directed by such Originator.   In the event that any payment owed by any Person hereunder becomes due on a day that is not a Business Day, then such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day.   If any Person fails to pay any amount hereunder when due, such Person agrees to pay, on demand, the Default Rate in respect thereof until paid in full; provided, however, that such Default Rate shall not at any time exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law.   All computations of interest payable 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.
Section 1.6    License of Software.  
(a)    To the extent that any software used by any Originator to account for the Receivables originated by it is non-transferable, such Originator hereby grants to each of Buyer, the Administrative Agent and the Servicer an irrevocable, non-exclusive license to use, without royalty or payment of any kind, all such software used by such Originator to account for such Receivables, to the extent necessary to administer such Receivables, whether such software is owned by such Originator or is owned by others and used by such Originator under license agreements with respect thereto; provided that should the consent of any licensor of such software be required for the grant of the license described herein, to be effective, such Originator hereby agrees that upon the request of Buyer (or Buyer’s assignee), such Originator will use its reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of such third-party licensor.  If any software used by any Originator to account for the Receivables originated by it prohibits such Originator from 

7    

granting the license to use described herein, or if, after reasonable efforts, consent of any licensor of such software for the grant of the license described herein is not obtained, there shall be no transfer of such software hereunder or any grant by such Originator of the license to use described herein.   The license granted hereby shall be irrevocable until the later to occur of (i) indefeasible payment in full of the Obligations (as defined in the Credit and Security Agreement), and (ii) the date each of this Agreement and the Credit and Security Agreement terminates in accordance with its terms.
(b)    Each Originator (i) shall take such action requested by Buyer and/or the Administrative Agent (as Buyer’s assignee), from time to time hereafter, that may be necessary or appropriate to ensure that Buyer and its assigns have an enforceable ownership interest in the Records relating to the Receivables purchased from such Originator hereunder, and (ii) shall use its reasonable efforts to ensure that Buyer, the Administrative Agent and the Servicer each has an enforceable right (whether by license or sublicense or otherwise) to use all of the computer software used to account for such Receivables and/or to recreate such Records.
Section 1.7    Characterization.  If, notwithstanding the intention of the parties expressed in Section 1.2(c), any sale or contribution by an Originator or Parent to Buyer of Receivables hereunder shall be characterized as a secured loan and not a sale or contribution or such transfer shall for any reason be ineffective or unenforceable, then this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a security agreement under the UCC and other applicable law.   For this purpose and without being in derogation of the parties’ intention that each conveyance of Receivables by an Originator or Parent hereunder shall constitute a true sale or other absolute assignment thereof:  (i) Parent hereby grants to Buyer a duly perfected security interest in all of Parent’s right, title and interest in and to the Initial Contributed Assets and all proceeds thereof to secure the prompt and complete payment of a loan deemed to have been made in an amount equal to the credit to Buyer’s paid-in capital and capital surplus booked at the time of the issuance to Parent of Buyer’s Equity Interests, together with all other obligations of Parent to Buyer hereunder, which security interest shall be prior to all other Adverse Claims (except as created under the Transaction Documents), and (ii) such Originator hereby grants to Buyer a duly perfected security interest in all of such Originator’s right, title and interest in, to and under all Receivables of such Originator which are now existing or hereafter arising, all Collections and Related Security with respect thereto, each Lock-Box and Collection Account, all other rights and payments relating to such Receivables and all proceeds of the foregoing to secure the prompt and complete payment of a loan deemed to have been made in an amount equal to the Purchase Price owing to such Originator.   Buyer and its assigns shall have, in addition to the rights and remedies which they may have under this Agreement, all other rights and remedies provided to a secured creditor under the UCC and other applicable law, which rights and remedies shall be cumulative.
Section 1.8    Excluded Receivables.  
(a)    Upon ten (10) days’ advance written notice to the Buyer and Administrative Agent (as Buyer’s assignee), a Transferor may designate as 

8    

Excluded Receivables all Originated Receivables (whether outstanding or arising on or after the effectiveness of such designation) relating to any designated Obligor; provided that immediately after giving effect to such designation (i) the Excluded Receivable Compliance Condition shall be satisfied and (ii) no Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event shall exist; provided, further, that no such designation may be undertaken by a Transferor for reasons relating to the credit quality of the related Originated Receivables or in order to manipulate the pool characteristics of the Receivables; and provided, further that, with respect to the Obligors designated in the Notice of Excluded Receivables, dated as of November 15, 2013, no additional notice shall be required to designate as Excluded Receivables all Originated Receivables in respect of such Obligors, including those arising prior to the Cut-off Date immediately preceding the date of such notice.  
The written notice contemplated by the preceding sentence shall be accompanied by an updated Monthly Report reflecting the exclusion of the Excluded Receivables for such newly designated Obligor outstanding as of the immediately preceding Cut-off Date.
If such designation includes Originated Receivables outstanding prior to the immediately preceding Cut-off Date (and therefore owned by the Buyer), then the Buyer may dispose of any such outstanding Excluded Receivables by sale or dividend to the related Transferor; provided, that any such sale shall be made without representations, warranties, covenants or indemnity.  Upon any such disposition, Buyer agrees to execute such instruments of release and authorize the execution of such financing statements and amendments or terminations of existing financing statements as necessary to fully accomplish such release and disposition.  For the avoidance of doubt, no Excluded Receivables that arise on or after the Cut-off Date prior to the date of such notice shall be deemed to have been sold to the Buyer under this Agreement.
(b)    Upon ten (10) days’ advance written notice to the Buyer and Administrative Agent (as Buyer’s assignee), a Transferor may reverse the designation of an Obligor’s Excluded Receivables and upon the effective date of such notice, Originated Receivables relating to such Obligor shall no longer be Excluded Receivables; provided, however, that, without the written consent of Required Committed Lenders, the outstanding balance of such Obligor’s Excluded Receivables may not exceed 2.5% of the aggregate outstanding balance of all Eligible Receivables immediately prior to the effective date of such notice. 
(c)    Schedule B shall be updated to reflect the current list of Obligors whose Originated Receivables are Excluded Receivables pursuant to this Section 1.8.

ARTICLE II
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
Section 2.1    Representations and Warranties.  Parent hereby represents and warrants to Buyer and its assigns on the date hereof, and each Originator hereby represents and warrants to Parent, Buyer and Buyer’s assigns, on the date hereof and on each date that any Receivable is originated by such Originator on or after the date hereof, that:
(a)    Existence and Power.  Such Transferor is a corporation or limited liability company, as applicable, duly organized under the laws of the state set forth after its name in the preamble to this Agreement (the “Applicable State”), and no other state or jurisdiction, and as to which such Applicable State must maintain a public record showing such corporation to have been organized.  Such Transferor is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its Applicable State and is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing as a foreign entity, and has and holds all power and all governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals required to carry on its business in each jurisdiction in which its business is conducted except where the failure to so qualify or so hold could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(b)    Power and Authority; Due Authorization, Execution and Delivery.  The execution and delivery by such Person of this Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which it is a party, and the performance of its obligations hereunder and thereunder, and, in the case of any Originator, such Originator’s use of the proceeds of the Purchase made from it hereunder, are within its organizational powers and authority and have been duly authorized by all necessary organizational action on its part.   This Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which such Transferor is a party has been duly executed and delivered by such Transferor.
(c)    No Conflict.  The execution and delivery by such Transferor of this Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which it is a party, and the performance of its obligations hereunder and thereunder do not result in the creation or imposition of any Adverse Claim on the assets of such Transferor, or contravene or violate (i) its Organizational Documents, (ii) any law, rule or regulation applicable to it, (iii) any restrictions under any agreement, contract or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of its property is bound, or (iv) any order, writ, judgment, award, injunction or decree binding on or affecting it or its property (except as created under the Transaction Documents) except, in any case, where such contravention or violation could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; and no transaction contemplated hereby requires compliance with any bulk sales act or similar law.
(d)    Governmental Authorization.  Other than the filing of the financing statements required hereunder, no authorization or approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental authority or regulatory body is required for the due execution and delivery by such Transferor of this Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which it is a party and the performance of its obligations hereunder and thereunder.

10    

(e)    Actions, Suits.  There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending, or to the best of such Transferor’s knowledge, threatened, against or affecting such Transferor, or any of its properties, in or before any court, arbitrator or other body, that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(f)    Binding Effect.  Each of the Transaction Documents to which such Transferor is a party constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Transferor enforceable against such Transferor in accordance with its respective terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).
(g)    Accuracy of Information.  All information heretofore furnished by such Transferor or any of its Affiliates to Buyer (or its assigns) for purposes of or in connection with this Agreement, any of the other Transaction Documents or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby is, and all such information hereafter furnished by such Transferor or any of its Affiliates to Buyer (or its assigns) will be, true and accurate in every material respect on the date such information is stated or certified and does not and will not contain any material misstatement of fact or omit to state a material fact or any fact necessary to make the statements contained therein, taken as a whole, not misleading.
(h)    Use of Proceeds.  No portion of any Purchase Price payment hereunder will be used (i) for a purpose that violates, or would be inconsistent with, any law, rule or regulation applicable to such Transferor or (ii) to acquire any security in any transaction which is subject to Section 12, 13 or 14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
(i)    Good Title.  Immediately prior to the distribution of Initial Contributed Assets by each Originator (if applicable) to Parent and the Purchase from the Originators under the 2000 Agreement and upon the creation of each Receivable originated by an Originator after the Initial Cut-Off Date applicable to such Originator, such Originator (i) is the legal and beneficial owner of such Receivables and (ii) is the legal and beneficial owner of the Related Security with respect thereto or possesses a valid and perfected security interest therein, in each case, free and clear of any Adverse Claim, except as created by the Transaction Documents.   Immediately prior to Parent’s contribution of the Initial Contributed Assets to Buyer’s capital, Parent was the legal and beneficial owner of the Initial Contributed Assets, free and clear of any Adverse Claim, except as created by the Transaction Documents.
(j)    Perfection.  This Agreement, together with the filing of the financing statements and assignments contemplated hereby, is effective to transfer to Buyer (and Buyer shall acquire from such Transferor, directly or indirectly):  (i) legal and equitable title to, with the right to sell and encumber each Receivable originated by such Originator, whether now existing and hereafter arising, together with the Collections with respect thereto, and (ii) all of such Originator’s right, title and interest in the Related Security associated with each such Receivable, in each case, free and clear of any Adverse Claim, except as created by the Transaction Documents.   There have been duly filed all financing statements or other similar instruments or documents necessary under the UCC (or any comparable law) of all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect Buyer’s ownership interest in such Receivables, the Related Security and

11    

the Collections.   Such Transferor’s jurisdiction of organization is a jurisdiction whose law generally requires information concerning the existence of a nonpossessory security interest to be made generally available in a filing, record or registration system as a condition or result of such a security interest’s obtaining priority over the rights of a lien creditor which respect to collateral.
(k)    Places of Business and Locations of Records.  The principal place of business and chief executive office of such Transferor and the offices where it keeps all of its Records are located at the address(es) listed on Exhibit II or such other locations of which Buyer has been notified in accordance with Section 4.2(a) in jurisdictions where all action required by Section 4.2(a) has been taken and completed.   Such Transferor’s Federal Employer Identification Number is correctly set forth on Exhibit II.
(l)    Collections.  The conditions and requirements set forth in Section 4.1(j) have at all times been satisfied and duly performed.   The names and addresses of all Collection Banks, together with the account numbers of the Collection Accounts of such Transferor at each Collection Bank and the post office box number of each Lock-Box, are listed on Exhibit III.   Such Originator has not granted any Person, other than Buyer (and its assigns) dominion and control of any Lock-Box or Collection Account, or the right to take dominion and control of any such Lock-Box or Collection Account at a future time or upon the occurrence of a future event.
(m)    Material Adverse Effect.  Since June 30, 2014, no event has occurred that would have a Material Adverse Effect.
(n)    Names.  The name in which such Transferor has executed this Agreement is identical to the name of such Transferor as indicated on the public record of its state of organization which shows such Transferor to have been organized.   In the past five (5) years, such Transferor has not used any corporate names, trade names or assumed names other than the name in which it has executed this Agreement and as listed on Exhibit II.
(o)    Ownership of Originators and Buyer.  Parent owns, directly or indirectly, 100% of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests of each Originator and Buyer.   Such Equity Interests are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and there are no options, warrants or other rights to acquire securities of Buyer or any Originator.
(p)    Not an Investment Company.  Such Transferor is not an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or any successor statute.
(q)    Compliance with Law.  Such Transferor has complied in all respects with all applicable laws, rules, regulations, orders, writs, judgments, injunctions, decrees or awards to which it may be subject, except where the failure to so comply could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.   Each Receivable, together with the Contract related thereto, does not contravene any laws, rules or regulations applicable thereto (including, without limitation, laws, rules and regulations relating to truth in lending, fair credit billing, fair credit reporting, equal credit opportunity, fair debt collection practices and privacy), and no part 

12    

of such Contract is in violation of any such law, rule or regulation, except where such contravention or violation could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(r)    Compliance with Credit and Collection Policy.  Such Transferor has complied in all material respects with the Credit and Collection Policy with regard to each Receivable originated or contributed by it that was reflected in any Purchase Report as an Eligible Receivable and was an Eligible Receivable on the date of its acquisition by Buyer hereunder, and with regard to each Contract with respect to such Receivable, and has not made any change to such Credit and Collection Policy, except such material change as to which Buyer (and its assigns) have been notified in accordance with Section 4.1(a)(vii).
(s)    Payments to such Originator.  With respect to each Receivable originated by such Originator and sold to Buyer hereunder, the Purchase Price received by such Originator constitutes reasonably equivalent value in consideration therefor.  No transfer hereunder by such Originator of any Receivable originated by such Originator is or may be voidable under any section of the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978 (11 U.S.C. §§ 101 et seq.), as amended.
(t)    Enforceability of Contracts.  Each Contract with respect to each Receivable that was reflected in any Purchase Report as an Eligible Receivable and was an Eligible Receivable on the date of its acquisition by Buyer hereunder is effective to create, and has created, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the related Obligor to pay the Outstanding Balance of the Receivable created thereunder and any accrued interest thereon, enforceable against the Obligor in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).
(u)    Eligible Receivables.  Each Receivable reflected in any Purchase Report as an Eligible Receivable was an Eligible Receivable on the date of its acquisition by Buyer hereunder.
(v)    Accounting.  The manner in which such Originator accounts for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in its financial statements does not jeopardize the characterization of the transactions contemplated herein as being true sales.
(w)    ERISA. (i) Identification of Plans.  Except as disclosed on Exhibit III-B of the Credit and Security Agreement, as of the closing date or as of the last date Exhibit III-B of the Credit and Security Agreement was updated to reflect the establishment of a new plan, none of the Parent, such Originator, their respective Restricted Subsidiaries or any of their respective ERISA Affiliates maintains or contributes to, or has during the past seven (7) years maintained or contributed to, any material Plan that is subject to Title IV of ERISA.
(ii)    Compliance.  Each Plan maintained by the Parent, such Originator and their respective Restricted Subsidiaries has at all times been maintained, by its terms and in operation, in compliance with all applicable laws, and the Parent, such Originator and their respective Restricted Subsidiaries are subject to no tax or penalty with respect to any

13    

Plan of such Person or any ERISA Affiliate thereof, including, without limitation, any tax or penalty under Title I or Title IV of ERISA or under Chapter 43 of the Tax Code, or any tax or penalty resulting from a loss of deduction under Sections 162, 404, or 419 of the Tax Code, where the failure to comply with such laws, and such taxes and penalties, together with all other liabilities referred to in this Section 2.1(w) (taken as a whole), would in the aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect. 
(iii)    Liabilities.  None of the Parent, such Originator or any of their respective Restricted Subsidiaries is subject to any liabilities (including withdrawal liabilities) with respect to any Plans of the Parent, such Originator, their respective Restricted Subsidiaries and their respective ERISA Affiliates, including, without limitation, any liabilities arising from Titles I or IV of ERISA, other than obligations to fund benefits under an ongoing Plan and to pay current contributions, expenses and premiums with respect to such Plans, where such liabilities, together with all other liabilities referred to in this Section 2.1(w) (taken as a whole), would in the aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect.
(iv)    Funding.  Each of the Parent, such Originator and their respective Restricted Subsidiaries and, with respect to any Plan which is subject to Title IV of ERISA, each of their respective ERISA Affiliates, have made full and timely payment of all amounts (A) required to be contributed under the terms of each Plan and applicable law, and (B) required to be paid as expenses (including PBGC or other premiums) of each Plan, where the failure to pay such amounts (when taken as a whole, including any penalties attributable to such amounts) would have a Material Adverse Effect.  None of the Parent or such Originator is subject to any liabilities with respect to post-retirement medical benefits in any amounts which, together with all other liabilities referred to in this Section 2.1(w) (taken as a whole), would have a Material Adverse Effect if such amounts were then due and payable.  
(v)    ERISA Event.  No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur, except for such ERISA Events that individually or in the aggregate would not have a Material Adverse Effect. 
(x)    OFAC.  None of Parent, such Originator nor any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the foregoing (i) is a Sanctioned Person, (ii) does business in a Sanctioned Country or with a Sanctioned Person in violation of the economic sanctions of the United States administered by OFAC or (iii) does business in such country or with any such agency, organization or person, in violation of the economic sanctions of the United States administered by OFAC.
ARTICLE III
CONDITIONS OF PURCHASE
Section 3.1    Conditions Precedent to Purchase.  The Purchase from each Originator under this Agreement is subject to the conditions precedent that (a) Buyer (and its assigns) shall have received on or before the closing date of the Credit and Security Agreement those documents listed on Schedule A and (b) all of the conditions to effectiveness of the Credit and Security Agreement shall have been satisfied on or before the closing date thereof or waived in accordance with the terms thereof. 

14    

Section 3.2    Conditions Precedent to Subsequent Payments.  Buyer’s obligation to pay for Receivables coming into existence on or after the applicable Purchase Date shall be subject to the further conditions precedent that: (a) the Facility Termination Date shall not have occurred under the Credit and Security Agreement; (b) Buyer (or its assigns) shall have received such other approvals, opinions or documents as it may reasonably request, and (c) on the date such Receivable came into existence, the following statements shall be true (and acceptance of the proceeds of any payment for such Receivable shall be deemed a representation and warranty by such Originator that such statements are then true):
(i)    the representations and warranties set forth in Article II are true and correct on and as of the date such Receivable came into existence as though made on and as of such date; and
(ii)    no event has occurred and is continuing that will constitute a Termination Event or an Unmatured Termination Event.
Notwithstanding the foregoing conditions precedent, upon payment of the Purchase Price for any Receivable originated by any Originator (whether by payment of cash or through an increase in the amounts outstanding under such Originator’s Subordinated Note), title to such Receivable and the Related Security and Collections with respect thereto shall vest in Buyer, whether or not the conditions precedent to Buyer’s obligation to pay for such Receivable were in fact satisfied.  The failure of such Originator to satisfy any of the foregoing conditions precedent, however, shall give rise to a right of Buyer to rescind the related purchase and direct such Originator to pay to Buyer an amount equal to the Purchase Price payment that shall have been made with respect to any Receivables related thereto.
ARTICLE IV
COVENANTS

appropriate and timely proceedings and for which adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP shall have been set aside on its books.  Such Transferor will pay when due any and all present and future stamp, documentary, and other similar taxes and governmental charges payable in connection with the Receivables originated by it, and hold Buyer and its assigns harmless from and against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay or omission to pay such taxes and governmental charges.

20    

Account, or assign any right to receive income with respect thereto (other than, in each case, the creation of the interests therein in favor of Buyer provided for herein), and such Transferor will defend the right, title and interest of Buyer in, to and under any of the foregoing property, against all claims of third parties claiming through or under such Transferor.  For the avoidance of doubt, the limitations of this Section 4.2(d) relating to sales, assignments, other dispositions and Adverse Claims shall continue to apply to any Receivable that is reconveyed pursuant to Section 1.4.
(e)    Accounting for Purchase.  Such Transferor will not, and will not permit any Affiliate to, financially account (whether in financial statements or otherwise) for the transactions contemplated hereby in any manner other than the sale or other outright conveyance by such Transferor to Buyer of the Receivables originated by such Transferor and the associated Related Security or in any other respect account for or treat the transactions contemplated hereby in any manner other than as a sale of such Receivables and Related Security by such Transferor to Buyer except to the extent that such transactions are not recognized on account of consolidated financial reporting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
