This Receivables Purchase Agreement (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, this “Agreement”), dated as of June 29, 2022, is entered into by and among the Various Entities Listed on Schedule I hereto (the “Originators,” and individually, each an “Originator”), Exact Sciences Laboratories, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Exact Sciences”) as the initial Servicer, and Exact Sciences Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Buyer”).
BACKGROUND:
1.The Originators generate Receivables in the ordinary course of their business;
2.The Originators wish to sell such Receivables to the Buyer, and the Buyer is willing to purchase such Receivables from the Originators, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein; 
3.The Originators and the Buyer intend each transaction under this Agreement to be a true sale of Receivables by the Originators to the Buyer, providing the Buyer with the full benefits of ownership of such Receivables, and the Originators and the Buyer do not intend the transactions hereunder to be a loan from the Buyer to the Originators; 
4.On or about the date hereof, the Buyer is entering into a receivables purchase agreement (the “Subsequent Purchase Agreement”) with Exact Receivables LLC (the “Borrower”), whereby the Buyer will sell all Receivables purchased from the Originators and their Related Rights to the Borrower, and the Borrower will purchase such Receivables and their Related Rights from the Buyer, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein; and
5.The parties hereto understand and acknowledge that on or about the date of its entry into the Subsequent Purchase Agreement, the Borrower will grant a security interest in all Receivables purchased from the Buyer and their Related Rights to the Administrative Agent (for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties according to their Capital as increased or reduced from time to time) pursuant to the Receivables Financing Agreement (as defined below).
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements, provisions and covenants contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
DEFINITIONS
Unless otherwise indicated herein, capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Agreement are defined in Section 1.01 of the Receivables Financing Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Receivables Financing Agreement”), among the Borrower, as borrower, Exact Sciences, as the initial Servicer (in such capacity, the “Servicer”), the Persons from time to time party thereto as Lenders and as Group Agents, PNC Bank, National Association, as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”), and PNC Capital Markets LLC, as Structuring Agent.  The usage of terms and provisions set forth in Section 1.01 of the Receivables Financing Agreement shall apply hereto as though set forth herein in their entirety.  All references herein to months are to calendar months unless otherwise expressly indicated.  All accounting terms not specifically defined herein shall be construed in accordance with GAAP.

ARTICLE I
AGREEMENT TO PURCHASE AND SELL
SECTION 1.1Agreement To Purchase and Sell.  On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, each Originator agrees to sell to the Buyer, and the Buyer agrees to purchase, from time to time on or after the initial Credit Extension under the Receivables Financing Agreement (the “Initial Funding Date”), but before the Purchase and Sale Termination Date (as defined in Section 1.4), all of such Originator’s right, title and interest in and to:
(a)each Receivable of such Originator that existed and was owing to such Originator at the closing of such Originator’s business on the Cut-Off Date, as defined below;
(b)each Receivable generated by such Originator after the Cut-Off Date to, but excluding, the Purchase and Sale Termination Date;
(c)all of such Originator’s interest in any goods (including returned goods), and documentation of title evidencing the shipment or storage of any goods (including returned goods), the sale of which gave rise to such Receivable;
(d)all instruments and chattel paper that may evidence such Receivable;
(e)all other security interests or liens and property subject thereto from time to time purporting to secure payment of such Receivable, whether pursuant to the Contract related to such Receivable or otherwise, together with all UCC financing statements or similar filings relating thereto;
(f)all of each Originator’s rights, interests and claims under the related Contracts and all supporting obligations, guaranties, indemnities, letters of credit (including any letter of credit rights), insurance and other agreements (including the related Contract) or arrangements of whatever character from time to time supporting or securing payment of such Receivable or otherwise relating to such Receivable, whether pursuant to the Contract related to such Receivable or otherwise;
(g)all books and records of each Originator to the extent related to any of the foregoing, and all rights, remedies, powers, privileges, title and interest (but not obligations) in and to each Lock-Box and all Collection Accounts, into which any Collections or other proceeds with respect to such Receivables may be deposited, and any related investment property acquired with any such Collections or other proceeds (as such term is defined in the applicable UCC); and
(h)    all Collections and other proceeds (as defined in the UCC) of any of the foregoing.
All purchases hereunder shall be made without recourse, but shall be made pursuant to, and in reliance upon, the representations, warranties and covenants of such Originator set forth in this Agreement and each other Transaction Document.  No obligation or liability to any Obligor on any Receivable is intended to be assumed by the Buyer hereunder, and any such assumption is expressly disclaimed.  The property and the proceeds and rights described in clauses (c) through (h) are referred to herein, collectively, as the “Related Rights,” and the Buyer’s foregoing commitment to purchase Receivables and Related Rights is herein called the “Purchase Facility.”
As used herein, “Cut-Off Date” means (a) with respect to each Originator party hereto on the date hereof, June 29, 2022, and (b) with respect to any Originator that first becomes a party hereto after the date hereof, the Business Day immediately prior to the date on which such 
- 2 -

Originator becomes a party hereto or such other date as the Buyer and such Originator agree to in writing.
SECTION 1.2Timing of Purchases.
(a)    Initial Funding Date Purchases.  Each Originator’s entire right, title and interest in (i) each Receivable that existed and was owing to such Originator at the Cut-Off Date, (ii) all Receivables created by such Originator after the Cut-Off Date through and including the Initial Funding Date, and (iii) all Related Rights with respect thereto shall automatically be deemed to have been sold by such Originator to the Buyer on the Initial Funding Date.
(b)    Subsequent Purchases.  After the Initial Funding Date, until the Purchase and Sale Termination Date, each Receivable and the Related Rights generated by each Originator shall be deemed to have been sold by each such Originator to the Buyer immediately (and without further action) upon the creation of such Receivable.
SECTION 1.3Consideration for Purchases.  On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Buyer agrees to make Purchase Price payments to the Originators in accordance with Article III.
SECTION 1.4Purchase and Sale Termination Date.  The “Purchase and Sale Termination Date” shall be the earlier to occur of (a) the date the Purchase Facility is terminated pursuant to Section 8.2 and (b) the Final Payout Date.
SECTION 1.5Intention of the Parties.  It is the express intent of each Originator and the Buyer that each conveyance by such Originator to the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement of any Receivables and Related Rights, including, without limitation, all Receivables, if any, constituting “general intangibles” (as defined in the UCC), and all Related Rights be construed as a valid and perfected sale and absolute assignment (without recourse except as provided herein) of such Receivables and Related Rights by such Originator to the Buyer (rather than the grant of a security interest to secure a debt or other obligation of such Originator) and that the right, title and interest in and to such Receivables and Related Rights conveyed to the Buyer be prior to the rights of and enforceable against all other Persons at any time, including, without limitation, lien creditors, secured lenders, purchasers and any Person claiming through such Originator.  However, if, contrary to the mutual intent of the parties, any conveyance of Receivables, including, without limitation, any Receivables constituting general intangibles, as defined in the UCC, and all Related Rights, is not construed to be both a valid and perfected sale and absolute assignment of such Receivables and Related Rights, and a conveyance of such Receivables and Related Rights that is prior to the rights of and enforceable against all other Persons at any time, including, without limitation, lien creditors, secured lenders, purchasers and any Person claiming through such Originator, then, it is the intent of such Originator and the Buyer that (i) this Agreement also shall be deemed to be, and hereby is, a security agreement within the meaning of the UCC; and (ii) such Originator shall be deemed to have granted to the Buyer as of the date of this Agreement, and such Originator hereby grants to the Buyer, a security interest in, to and under, all of such Originator’s right, title and interest in and to the Receivables and the Related Rights transferred or purported to be transferred hereunder, whether now existing or hereafter created by such Originator, which security interest shall secure the obligations of such Originator under this Agreement.
ARTICLE II
PURCHASE REPORT; CALCULATION OF PURCHASE PRICE
SECTION 2.1Purchase Report.  On the Initial Funding Date and on each date when an Information Package or Interim Report is due to be delivered under the Receivables 
- 3 -

Financing Agreement (each such date, a “Purchase Report Date”), the Servicer shall deliver to the Borrower, the Buyer and each Originator a report in substantially the form of Exhibit A (each such report being herein called a “Purchase Report”) setting forth, among other things:
(a)the Purchase Price of all Receivables purchased by the Buyer from each Originator and correspondingly by the Borrower from the Buyer as of the Cut-Off Date (in the case of the Purchase Report to be delivered on the Initial Funding Date);
(b)the Purchase Price of all Receivables purchased by the Buyer from each Originator and correspondingly by the Borrower from the Buyer during the calendar month, week or day, as applicable, immediately preceding such Purchase Report Date (in the case of each subsequent Purchase Report); and
(c)the calculations of reductions of the Purchase Price for any Receivables as provided in Sections 3.3(a) and (b).
SECTION 2.2Calculation of Purchase Price.  The “Purchase Price” to be paid to each Originator on any Payment Date in accordance with the terms of Article III for each Receivable that is purchased hereunder from such Originator shall be (i) determined in accordance with the following formula and (ii) subject to the reductions as provided in Sections 3.3(a) and (b):
- 4 -

									
	PP	=	OB x FMVD
	where:		
	PP	=	The Purchase Price for each Receivable as calculated on the relevant Payment Date (or, for the Initial Funding Date, on the Cut-Off Date).
	OB	=	The Outstanding Balance of such Receivable on the relevant Payment Date (or, for the Initial Funding Date, on the Cut-Off Date).
	FMVD	=	Fair Market Value Discount, as measured on such Payment Date, which is equal to a percentage calculated to provide the Buyer with a reasonable return on its investment in such Receivable after taking account of (i) the time value of money based upon the anticipated dates of collection of such Receivable and the cost to the Buyer of financing its investment in such Receivable during such period and (ii) the risk of nonpayment by the applicable Obligor. Each Originator and the Buyer may agree from time to time to change the Fair Market Value Discount based on changes in one or more of the items affecting the calculation thereof; provided that any change to the Fair Market Value Discount shall take effect as of the first day of a calendar month, shall apply only prospectively and shall not affect the Purchase Price payment in respect of Receivables which came into existence during any calendar month ending prior to the calendar month during which an Originator and the Buyer agree to make such change.

“Payment Date” means (i) the Initial Funding Date and (ii) each Business Day thereafter that the Originators are open for business.

ARTICLE III
PAYMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE
SECTION 3.1Initial Purchase Price Payment.  On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Buyer agrees to pay to each Originator the Purchase Price for the purchase of Receivables and Related Rights to be made from such Originator on the Initial Funding Date in either cash or an intercompany credit for such Originator in the books and records of such Originator and the Buyer, at the election of the Buyer (in an amount to be agreed between the Buyer and such Originator and set forth in the initial Purchase Report).
SECTION 3.2Subsequent Purchase Price Payments.  On each Payment Date subsequent to the Initial Funding Date, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Buyer shall be deemed to have paid to each Originator the Purchase Price for the Receivables and the Related Rights generated by such Originator on such Payment Date in either cash or an intercompany credit for such Originator in the books and records of such Originator and the Buyer, at the election of the Buyer (in an amount to be agreed between the Buyer and such Originator and set forth in each subsequent Purchase Report); provided, that such cash payment or intercompany credit may be made by the Buyer on the subsequent Settlement Date after each such Payment Date.
SECTION 3.3Settlement as to Specific Receivables and Dilution.
(a)    If, (i) on the day of purchase of any Receivable from an Originator hereunder, any of the representations or warranties set forth in Sections 5.8, 5.11, 5.13, 5.14, 5.20, 5.22, 5.23 and 5.24 are not true with respect to such Receivable, or (ii) as a result of any action or inaction (other than solely as a result of the failure to collect or delay in collecting any portion of such Receivable due to the filing of or a discharge in a bankruptcy or similar insolvency proceeding, financial inability or other credit related reasons with respect to the relevant Obligor) of an Originator, on any subsequent day, any of such representations or warranties set forth in Sections 5.8, 5.11, 5.13, 5.14, 5.20, 5.22, 5.23 and 5.24 is no longer true with respect to such Receivable, then the Purchase Price with respect to such Receivable shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Outstanding Balance of such Receivable and shall be accounted to such Originator as provided in clause (c) below; provided, that if the Buyer thereafter receives payment on account of Collections due with respect to such Receivable, the Buyer promptly shall deliver or credit such funds to such Originator.
(b)    If, on any day, the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable purchased hereunder is reduced or adjusted as a result of any defective, rejected, returned, repossessed or foreclosed goods or services, or any revision, cancellation, allowance, rebate, credit memo, discount or other adjustment made by the Buyer, any Originator, the Servicer, or any Affiliate of the Servicer, or any setoff, counterclaim or dispute between or among the Buyer or any Affiliate of the Buyer, an Originator or any Affiliate of an Originator, or the Servicer or any Affiliate of the Servicer, and an Obligor (other than, in each case in this clause (b), solely as a result of the failure to collect or delay in collecting any portion of such Receivable due to the filing of or a discharge in a bankruptcy or similar insolvency proceeding, financial inability or other credit related reasons with respect to the relevant Obligor), then the Purchase Price with respect to such Receivable shall be reduced by the amount of such net reduction or adjustment and shall be accounted to such Originator as provided in clause (c) below.
(c)    Subject to clause (d) below, any reduction in the Purchase Price of any Receivable pursuant to clause (a) or (b) above shall be applied as a credit for the account of the Buyer against the Purchase Price of Receivables subsequently purchased by the Buyer from such Originator hereunder; provided, however if as of any Settlement Date there have been insufficiently large purchases of Receivables from any Originator to create a Purchase Price 
- 6 -

sufficient to so apply such aggregate credits against, then on such Settlement Date the aggregate amount of such excess credits shall be paid in either cash to the Buyer by such Originator or an intercompany credit for the Buyer in the books and records of such Originator and the Buyer, at the election of the Buyer.
 (d)      At any time (i) at and following the request of the Buyer (either with respect to any specific payment or all such payments) or (ii) when an Event of Default or an Unmatured Event of Default exists under the Receivables Financing Agreement, (iii) when the Aggregate Capital exceeds the Borrowing Base at such time under the Receivables Financing Agreement or (iv) on or after the Purchase and Sale Termination Date or the Termination Date, the amount of any such credit described in clause (c) shall be paid by such Originator to the Buyer by deposit in immediately available funds into a Collection Account for application by the Servicer to the same extent as if Collections of the applicable Receivable in such amount had actually been received on such date.
SECTION 3.4Reconveyance of Receivables.  In the event that an Originator has paid to the Buyer the full Outstanding Balance of any Receivable pursuant to Section 3.3, the Buyer shall use its best efforts to repurchase such Receivable from the Borrower and reconvey such Receivable to such Originator, without representation or warranty, but free and clear of all liens, security interests, charges, and encumbrances created by the Buyer or the Borrower.

Each Originator shall identify (or cause the Servicer to identify) the Pool Receivables in its master data processing records relating to the Pool Receivables and related Contracts, or in the alternative in notes describing the Pool Receivables and related Contracts in both the separate financial statements of each Originator and the consolidated financial statements of the Buyer and its Affiliates, in each case with a legend that indicates that the Pool Receivables and Related Rights have been sold and/or pledged in accordance with this Agreement, the Subsequent Purchase Agreement and the Receivables Financing Agreement.
(s)Insurance. Such Originator will maintain in effect, at such Originator’s expense, such casualty and liability insurance as such Originator deems appropriate in its good faith business judgment.
(t)Healthcare Matters. Each Originator and each of its Subsidiaries will comply in all material respects with all applicable Health Care Laws relating to the operation of such Person’s business.

(v)Other Additional Information. Each Originator will provide to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders such information and documentation as may reasonably be requested by the Administrative Agent or any Lender from time to time for purposes of compliance by the Administrative Agent or such Lender with applicable laws (including without limitation the PATRIOT Act and other “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations), and any reasonable policy or procedure implemented by the Administrative Agent or such Lender to comply therewith.
SECTION 6.2Substantive Consolidation.  Each Originator hereby acknowledges that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents are being entered into in reliance upon the Borrower’s identity as a legal entity separate from such Originator and its Affiliates.  Therefore, each Originator shall take all steps specifically required by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents or reasonably required by the Buyer, 
- 21 -

the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any Group Agent or any Lender to continue the Borrower’s identity as a separate legal entity and to make it apparent to third Persons that the Borrower is an entity with assets and liabilities distinct from those of such Originator, its Affiliates and any other Person, and is not a division of such Originator, its Affiliates or any other Person.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and in addition to and consistent with the other covenants set forth herein, such Originator shall take such actions as shall be required in order that:
(a)such Originator shall maintain separate records and books of account from the Borrower and otherwise will observe corporate formalities;
(b)the financial statements and books and records of such Originator shall reflect the separate existence of the Borrower; provided, that the Borrower’s assets and liabilities may be included in a consolidated financial statement issued by an Affiliate or Affiliates of the Borrower; provided, however, that any such consolidated financial statement or the notes thereto shall make clear that the Borrower’s assets are not available to satisfy the obligations of such Affiliate or Affiliates;
(c)except as contemplated hereby or permitted by the Receivables Financing Agreement, (i) such Originator shall maintain its assets (including deposit accounts) separately from the assets (including deposit accounts) of the Borrower and (ii)  the Borrower’s assets, and records relating thereto, have not been, are not, and shall not be, commingled with those of such Originator;
(d)such Originator shall not act as an agent for the Borrower, other than in the capacity of a Servicer or a Sub-Servicer, as applicable;
(e)such Originator shall not conduct any of the business of the Borrower in its own name (except in the capacity of a Servicer or a Sub-Servicer, as applicable);
(f)other than with respect to initial organization expenses, such Originator shall not pay any liabilities of the Borrower out of its own funds or assets;
(g)except as contemplated by the Transaction Documents, such Originator shall maintain an arm’s-length relationship with the Borrower;
(h)such Originator shall not assume or guarantee or become obligated for the debts of the Borrower or hold out its credit as being available to satisfy the obligations of the Borrower;
(i)such Originator shall not acquire obligations of the Borrower;
(j)such Originator shall allocate fairly and reasonably overhead or other expenses that are properly shared with the Borrower, as applicable;
(k)such Originator shall identify and hold itself out as a separate and distinct entity from the Borrower;

ARTICLE VII
ADDITIONAL RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
IN RESPECT OF RECEIVABLES
SECTION 7.1Rights of the Buyer and the Borrower.  Each Originator hereby authorizes the Buyer, the Borrower and the Servicer or their respective designees or assignees under the Receivables Financing Agreement (including, without limitation, the Administrative Agent) to take any and all steps in such Originator’s name reasonably necessary or desirable, in their respective determination, to collect all amounts due under any and all Receivables sold or otherwise conveyed or purported to be conveyed by it hereunder, including, without limitation, endorsing the name of such Originator on checks and other instruments representing Collections and enforcing such Receivables and the provisions of the related Contracts that concern payment and/or enforcement of rights to payment; provided, however, the Administrative Agent (or any other assignee under this Agreement) shall not take any of the foregoing actions unless a Purchase and Sale Termination Event or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
SECTION 7.2Responsibilities of the Originators.  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding:
(a)Each Originator shall perform its obligations hereunder, and the exercise by the Buyer or its designee of its rights hereunder shall not relieve such Originator from such obligations.
(b)None of the Buyer, the Borrower, the Servicer, the Group Agents, or the Administrative Agent shall have any obligation or liability to any Obligor or any other third Person with respect to any Receivables, Contracts related thereto or any other related agreements, nor shall the Buyer, the Borrower, the Servicer, the Group Agents, or the Administrative Agent be obligated to perform any of the obligations of any Originator thereunder.
(c)Each Originator hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable power of attorney, with full power of substitution, coupled with an interest, during the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default to take in the name of such Originator all steps necessary or advisable to endorse, negotiate or otherwise realize on any writing or other right of any kind held or transmitted by such Originator or transmitted or received by the Buyer or the Borrower (whether or not from such Originator) in connection with any Receivable sold or otherwise conveyed or purported to be conveyed by it hereunder or Related Right.
SECTION 7.3Further Action Evidencing Purchases.  Each Originator agrees that from time to time, at its expense, it will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action that the Buyer, the Borrower, the Servicer or the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in order to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the Receivables and Related Rights purchased by the Buyer hereunder, or to enable the Buyer to exercise or enforce any of its rights hereunder or under any other Transaction Document.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon the request of the Buyer, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such Originator will execute (if applicable), authorize 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.
Each Originator hereby authorizes the Buyer or its designee or assignee (including, without limitation, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) to file one or more financing or 
- 23 -

continuation statements, and amendments thereto and assignments thereof, without the signature of such Originator, relative to all or any of the Receivables and Related Rights sold or otherwise conveyed or purported to be conveyed by it hereunder, whether now existing or hereafter generated by such Originator.  If any Originator fails to perform any of its agreements or obligations under this Agreement, the Buyer or its designee or assignee (including, without limitation, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) may (but shall not be required to) itself perform, or cause the performance of, such agreement or obligation, and the expenses of the Buyer or its designee or assignee (including, without limitation, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by such Originator.
SECTION 7.4Application of Collections.  Any payment by an Obligor in respect of any indebtedness owed by it to any Originator shall, except as otherwise specified by such Obligor or required by applicable law and unless otherwise instructed by the Servicer (with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent) or the Administrative Agent, be applied as a Collection of any Receivable or Receivables of such Obligor to the extent of any amounts then due and payable thereunder (applied in order from the oldest outstanding Receivable to the newest outstanding Receivable) before being applied to any other indebtedness of such Obligor.
ARTICLE VIII

(d)any Originator shall fail to perform or observe any term, covenant or agreement under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party to be performed or observed by such Originator (other than any such failure which would constitute a Purchase and Sale Termination Event under clause (a) or (b) of this Section 8.1), and such failure, solely to the extent capable of cure, shall continue for ten (10) Business Days.
SECTION 8.2Remedies.
(a)Optional Termination.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Purchase and Sale Termination Event, the Buyer, with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Majority Group Agents, shall have the option, by notice to the Originators (with a copy to the Administrative Agent and the Group Agents), to declare the Purchase Facility as terminated.
- 24 -

(b)Remedies Cumulative.  Upon any termination of the Purchase Facility pursuant to Section 8.2(a), the Buyer (and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent as the Borrower’s assignee) shall have, in addition to all other rights and remedies under this Agreement, all other rights and remedies provided under the UCC of each applicable jurisdiction and other applicable laws, which rights shall be cumulative.
ARTICLE IX
INDEMNIFICATION
SECTION 9.1Indemnities by the Originators.  Without limiting any other rights which the Buyer may have hereunder or under Applicable Law, each Originator hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, on an after-tax basis, the Buyer (and its assigns, including the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) and each of its officers, directors, employees and agents (each of the foregoing Persons being individually called a “Purchase and Sale Indemnified Party”), on demand, from and against any and all damages, losses, claims, judgments, liabilities, penalties, Taxes, reasonable costs and expenses (including Attorney Costs) (all of the foregoing being collectively called “Purchase and Sale Indemnified Amounts”) awarded against or incurred by any of them arising out of or as a result of the failure of such Originator to perform its obligations under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or arising out of the claims asserted against a Purchase and Sale Indemnified Party relating to the transactions contemplated herein or therein or the use of proceeds thereof or therefrom, excluding, only Purchase and Sale Indemnified Amounts to the extent, (i) a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction holds that such Purchase and Sale Indemnified Amounts resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct by the Purchase and Sale Indemnified Party seeking indemnification, (ii) resulting from a claim brought by any Originator or the Servicer against a Purchase and Sale Indemnified Party for breach in bad faith of such Purchase and Sale Indemnified Party’s obligations hereunder or under any other Transaction Document, if such party has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim against the Purchase and Sale Indemnified Party as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, (iii) due to Pool Receivables that are uncollectible or delayed in collection solely on account of the insolvency, bankruptcy, lack of creditworthiness or other financial inability to pay of the related Obligor or otherwise due to the credit risk of the Obligor, or (iv) such Purchase and Sale Indemnified Amounts include Taxes imposed or based on, or measured by, the gross or net income or receipts of such Purchase and Sale Indemnified Party by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Purchase and Sale Indemnified Party is organized (or any political subdivision thereof); provided, that nothing contained in this sentence shall limit the liability of such Originator or limit the recourse of any Purchase and Sale Indemnified Party to such Originator for any amounts otherwise specifically provided to be paid by such Originator hereunder.  Without limiting the foregoing indemnification, but subject to the limitations set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of the previous sentence, each Originator shall indemnify each Purchase and Sale Indemnified Party for Purchase and Sale Indemnified Amounts relating to or resulting from:
(a)any representation, warranty or statement made or deemed made by such Originator (or any officer of such Originator) under or in connection with this Agreement, any of the other Transaction Documents or any other information or report delivered by or on behalf of such Originator pursuant hereto or thereto which shall have been untrue or incorrect when made or deemed made;
(b)the failure by such Originator to comply with its covenants, obligations and agreements contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or with any Applicable Law with respect to any Pool Receivable or the related Contract; or the failure of any Pool Receivable or the related Contract to conform to any such Applicable Law;
- 25 -

(c)the failure of any Receivable sold by such Originator and included in the calculation of Net Receivables Pool Balance as an Eligible Receivable to be an Eligible Receivable as of the date of such sale;
(d)the transfer by such Originator of any interest in any Pool Receivable or Related Right other than the transfer of any Pool Receivable and Related Rights to the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement and the grant of a security interest to the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement;
(e)the lack of an enforceable ownership interest, or a first priority perfected lien, in the Pool Receivables (and all Related Rights) originated by such Originator against all Persons (including any bankruptcy trustee or similar Person), in either case, free and clear of any Adverse Claim;
(f)the failure to have filed, or any delay in filing, financing statements, financing statement amendments, continuation statements or other similar instruments or documents under the UCC of any applicable jurisdiction or other Applicable Laws with respect to any Pool Receivable or the Related Rights;
(g)any suit or claim related to the Pool Receivables originated by such Originator (including any products liability or environmental liability claim arising out of or in connection with the property, products or services that are the subject of any Pool Receivable originated by such Originator);
(h)any dispute, claim, offset or defense (other than discharge in bankruptcy) of the Obligor to the payment of any Pool Receivable (including a defense based on such Pool Receivable or the related Contract not being a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Obligor enforceable against it in accordance with its terms), or any other claim resulting from or relating to collection activities with respect to such Pool Receivable or any other claim resulting from the sale of goods or the rendering of services related to such Pool Receivable or the furnishing or failure to furnish any such goods or services or other similar claim or defense not arising from the financial inability of any Obligor to pay undisputed indebtedness;
(i)the commingling of Collections of Pool Receivables at any time with other funds;
(j)the failure or delay to provide any Obligor with an invoice or other evidence of indebtedness;
(k)any failure of such Originator to perform any of its duties or obligations in accordance with the provisions hereof and of each other Transaction Document related to Pool Receivables, or of such Originator to timely and fully comply with the Credit and Collection Policy in regard to each Pool Receivable;
(l)any investigation, litigation or proceeding (actual or threatened) related to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or in respect of any Pool Receivable or any Related Rights;
(m)any claim brought by any Person other than a Purchase and Sale Indemnified Party arising from any activity by such Originator or any Affiliate of such Originator in servicing, administering or collecting any Pool Receivable; or
(n)the failure by an Originator to pay when due any taxes, including, without limitation, material sales, excise or personal property taxes.
- 26 -

If for any reason the indemnification provided above in this Section 9.1 is unavailable to a Purchase and Sale Indemnified Party or is insufficient to hold such Purchase and Sale Indemnified Party harmless, then each Originator shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Purchase and Sale Indemnified Party to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law.
ARTICLE X

Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that the Borrower, the Secured Parties and the Administrative Agent are third party beneficiaries of the rights of the Buyer arising hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents to which such Originator is a party, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, during the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default under the Receivables Financing Agreement, the Administrative Agent, and not the Buyer, shall have the sole right to exercise all such rights and related remedies.
SECTION 10.12No Proceeding.
