 Dear Sirs: 
  
 Yellow Roadway Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), proposes to issue and sell to Credit Suisse
First Boston LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., Banc of America Securities LLC, Piper Jaffray & Co. and Wachovia Securities, LLC (collectively, the “Initial Purchasers”), upon the terms set forth in a purchase agreement dated as of May
19, 2005 (the “Purchase Agreement”), $150 million aggregate principal amount of its Senior Floating Rate Notes due 2008 (the “Initial Securities”) to be unconditionally guaranteed (the “Guaranties”) by the guarantors
listed on Schedule A hereof (the “Guarantors” and together with the Issuer, the “Company”). The Initial Securities will be issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of May 24, 2005, (the “Indenture”) among the Issuer,
the Guarantors named therein and SunTrust Bank (the “Trustee”). As an inducement to the Initial Purchasers, the Company agrees with the Initial Purchasers, for the benefit of the holders of the Initial Securities (including, without
limitation, the Initial Purchasers), the Exchange Securities (as defined below) and the Private Exchange Securities (as defined below) (collectively the “Holders”), as follows: 
  
 1. Registered Exchange Offer. The Company shall, at its own cost, prepare and, not later than 90 days after (or if
the 90th day is not a business day, the first business day thereafter) the date of original issue of the Initial Securities (the “Issue Date”), file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a registration
statement (the “Exchange Offer Registration Statement”) on an appropriate form under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), with respect to a proposed offer (the “Registered Exchange Offer”) to
the Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities (as defined in Section 6 hereof), who are not prohibited by any law or policy of the Commission from participating in the Registered Exchange Offer, to issue and deliver to such Holders, in exchange for
the Initial Securities, a like aggregate principal amount of debt securities (the “Exchange Securities”) of the Company issued under the Indenture and identical in all material respects to the Initial Securities (except for the transfer
restrictions relating to the Initial Securities and the provisions relating to additional interest described in Section 6 hereof) that would be registered under the Securities Act. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such
Exchange Offer Registration Statement to become effective under the Securities Act within 180 days 

  

 
(or if the 180th day is not a business day, the first business day thereafter) after the Issue Date of the Initial Securities and shall keep the Exchange
Offer Registration Statement effective for not less than 20 business days (or longer, if required by applicable law) after the date notice of the Registered Exchange Offer is mailed to the Holders (such period being called the “Exchange Offer
Registration Period”). 
  
 If the Company effects the
Registered Exchange Offer, the Company will be entitled to close the Registered Exchange Offer 20 business days after the commencement thereof provided that the Company has accepted all the Initial Securities theretofore validly tendered in
accordance with the terms of the Registered Exchange Offer. 
  
 Following the declaration of the effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, the Company shall promptly commence the Registered Exchange Offer, it being the objective of such Registered Exchange Offer to enable each Holder
of Transfer Restricted Securities (as defined in Section 6 hereof) electing to exchange the Initial Securities for Exchange Securities (assuming that such Holder is not an affiliate of the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, acquires
the Exchange Securities in the ordinary course of such Holder’s business and has no arrangements with any person to participate in the distribution of the Exchange Securities and is not prohibited by any law or policy of the Commission from
participating in the Registered Exchange Offer) to trade such Exchange Securities from and after their receipt without any limitations or restrictions under the Securities Act and without material restrictions under the securities laws of the
several states of the United States. 
  
 The Company acknowledges
that, pursuant to current interpretations by the Commission’s staff of Section 5 of the Securities Act, in the absence of an applicable exemption therefrom, (i) each Holder which is a broker-dealer electing to exchange Securities, acquired for
its own account as a result of market making activities or other trading activities, for Exchange Securities (an “Exchanging Dealer”), is required to deliver a prospectus containing the information set forth in (a) Annex A hereto on the
cover, (b) Annex B hereto in the “Exchange Offer Procedures” section and the “Purpose of the Exchange Offer” section, and (c) Annex C hereto in the “Plan of Distribution” section of such prospectus in connection with a
sale of any such Exchange Securities received by such Exchanging Dealer pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer and (ii) an Initial Purchaser that elects to sell Exchange Securities acquired in exchange for Securities constituting any portion of
an unsold allotment is required to deliver a prospectus containing the information required by Items 507 or 508 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act, as applicable, in connection with such sale. 
  
 The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement effective and to amend and supplement the prospectus contained therein, in order to permit such prospectus to be lawfully delivered by all persons subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act for such
period of time as such persons must comply with such requirements in order to resell the Exchange Securities; provided, however, that (i) in the case where such prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto must be delivered by an Exchanging
Dealer or an Initial Purchaser, such period shall be the lesser of 180 days and the date on which all Exchanging Dealers and the Initial Purchasers have sold all Exchange Securities held by them (unless such period is extended pursuant to Section
3(j) below) and (ii) the Company shall make such prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any resale of any Exchange Securities for a period of not less than 90 days after the
consummation of the Registered Exchange Offer. 
  
 If, upon
consummation of the Registered Exchange Offer, any Initial Purchaser holds Initial Securities acquired by it as part of its initial distribution, the Company, simultaneously with the delivery of the Exchange Securities pursuant to the Registered
Exchange Offer, shall issue and deliver to such Initial Purchaser upon the written request of such Initial Purchaser, in exchange (the “Private Exchange”) for the Initial Securities held by such Initial Purchaser, a like principal amount
of debt securities of the Company 

  

 2 

 
issued under the Indenture and identical in all material respects (including the existence of restrictions on transfer under the Securities Act and the
securities laws of the several states of the United States, but excluding provisions relating to the matters described in Section 6 hereof) to the Initial Securities (the “Private Exchange Securities”). The Initial Securities, the Exchange
Securities and the Private Exchange Securities are herein collectively called the “Securities”. 
  
 In connection with the Registered Exchange Offer, the Company shall: 
  
 (a) mail to each Holder a copy of the prospectus forming part of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement,
together with an appropriate letter of transmittal and related documents; 
  
 (b) keep the Registered Exchange Offer open for not less than 20 business days (or longer, if required by applicable law) after the date notice thereof is mailed to the Holders; 
  
 (c) utilize the services of a depositary for the Registered
Exchange Offer with an address in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, which may be the Trustee or an affiliate of the Trustee; 
  
 (d) permit Holders to withdraw tendered Securities at any time prior to the close of business, New York time, on the last business day on
which the Registered Exchange Offer shall remain open; and 
  
 (e) otherwise comply with all applicable laws. 
  
 As soon as practicable after the close of the Registered Exchange Offer or the Private Exchange, as the case may be, the Company shall: 
  
 (x) accept for exchange all the Securities validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Registered
Exchange Offer and the Private Exchange; 
  
 (y)
deliver to the Trustee for cancellation all the Initial Securities so accepted for exchange; and 
  
 (z) cause the Trustee to authenticate and deliver promptly to each Holder of the Initial Securities, Exchange Securities or Private
Exchange Securities, as the case may be, equal in principal amount to the Initial Securities of such Holder so accepted for exchange. 
  
 The Indenture will provide that the Exchange Securities will not be subject to the transfer restrictions set forth in the Indenture and that all the
Securities will vote and consent together on all matters as one class and that none of the Securities will have the right to vote or consent as a class separate from one another on any matter. 
  
 Interest on each Exchange Security and Private Exchange Security issued
pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer and in the Private Exchange will accrue from the last interest payment date on which interest was paid on the Initial Securities surrendered in exchange therefor or, if no interest has been paid on the
Initial Securities, from the date of original issue of the Initial Securities. 
  
 Each Holder participating in the Registered Exchange Offer shall be required to represent to the Company that at the time of the consummation of the Registered Exchange Offer (i) any Exchange Securities received by
such Holder will be acquired in the ordinary course of business, (ii) such Holder will 

  

 3 

 
have no arrangements or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution of the Securities or the Exchange Securities within the meaning of
the Securities Act, (iii) such Holder is not an “affiliate,” as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act, of the Company or if it is an affiliate, such Holder will comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the
Securities Act to the extent applicable, (iv) if such Holder is not a broker-dealer, that it is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, the distribution of the Exchange Securities and (v) if such Holder is a broker-dealer, that it will
receive Exchange Securities for its own account in exchange for Initial Securities that were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities and that it will be required to acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus
in connection with any resale of such Exchange Securities. 
  
 Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, the Company will ensure that (i) any Exchange Offer Registration Statement and any amendment thereto and any prospectus forming part thereof and any supplement thereto complies in all material
respects with the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, (ii) any Exchange Offer Registration Statement and any amendment thereto does not, when it becomes effective, contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state
a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and (iii) any prospectus forming part of any Exchange Offer Registration Statement, and any supplement to such prospectus, does not include an
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. 
  
 2. Shelf Registration. If, (i) because of any change in law or in
applicable interpretations thereof by the staff of the Commission, the Company is not permitted to effect a Registered Exchange Offer, as contemplated by Section 1 hereof, (ii) the Registered Exchange Offer is not consummated within 240 days of the
Issue Date, (iii) any Initial Purchaser notifies the Company and so requests with respect to the Initial Securities (or the Private Exchange Securities) not eligible to be exchanged for Exchange Securities in the Registered Exchange Offer and held
by it following consummation of the Registered Exchange Offer or (iv) any Holder (other than an Exchanging Dealer) is not eligible to participate in the Registered Exchange Offer or, in the case of any Holder (other than an Exchanging Dealer) that
participates in the Registered Exchange Offer, such Holder does not receive Exchange Securities on the date of the exchange that are freely tradable without delivering a prospectus, the Company shall take the following actions: 
  
 (a) The Company shall, at its cost, as promptly as
practicable (but in no event more than 30 days after so required or requested pursuant to this Section 2) file with the Commission and thereafter shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause to be declared effective a registration statement (the
“Shelf Registration Statement” and, together with the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, a “Registration Statement”) on an appropriate form under the Securities Act relating to the offer and sale of the Transfer Restricted
Securities (as defined in Section 6 hereof) by the Holders thereof from time to time in accordance with the methods of distribution set forth in the Shelf Registration Statement and Rule 415 under the Securities Act (hereinafter, the “Shelf
Registration”); provided, however, that no Holder (other than an Initial Purchaser) shall be entitled to have the Securities held by it covered by such Shelf Registration Statement unless such Holder agrees in writing to be bound by all the
provisions of this Agreement applicable to such Holder. 
  
 (b) The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective in order to permit the prospectus included therein to be lawfully delivered by the Holders of the
relevant Securities, until the earliest of (i) the time when the Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any limitations under clauses (c), (e), (f) and (h) of Rule 144 under the Securities
Act, or any successor rule thereof, (ii) two years from the Issue Date (or for such longer period if extended 

  

 4 

 
pursuant to Section 3(j) below) and (iii) the date when all Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement have been sold pursuant to such Shelf
Registration Statement. The Company shall be deemed not to have used its reasonable best efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement effective during the requisite period if it voluntarily takes any action that would result in Holders of
Securities covered thereby not being able to offer and sell such Securities during that period, unless such action is required by applicable law. 
  
 (c) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall cause the Shelf Registration Statement and
the related prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, as of the effective date of the Shelf Registration Statement, amendment or supplement, (i) to comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and
the rules and regulations of the Commission and (ii) not to contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. 
  
 3.

Initial Purchaser, prior to the filing thereof with the Commission, a copy of the Registration Statement and each amendment thereof and each supplement, if any, to the prospectus included therein and, in the event that an Initial Purchaser (with
respect to any portion of an unsold allotment from the original offering) is participating in the Registered Exchange Offer or the Shelf Registration Statement, the Company shall use its best efforts to reflect in each such document, when so filed
with the Commission, such comments as such Initial Purchaser reasonably may propose with respect to such Initial Purchaser and its proposed sales of Securities; (ii) include the information set forth in Annex A hereto on the cover, in Annex B hereto
in the “Exchange Offer Procedures” section and the “Purpose of the Exchange Offer” section and in Annex C hereto in the “Plan of Distribution” section of the prospectus forming a part of the Exchange Offer Registration

“Plan of Distribution,” reasonably acceptable to the Initial Purchasers, which shall contain a summary statement of the positions taken or policies made by the staff of the Commission with respect to the potential “underwriter”
status of any broker-dealer that is the beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) of Exchange Securities received by such broker-dealer in the Registered Exchange
Offer (a “Participating Broker-Dealer”), whether such positions or policies have been publicly disseminated by the staff of the Commission or such positions or policies, in the reasonable judgment of the Initial Purchasers based upon
advice of counsel (which may be in-house counsel), represent the prevailing views of the staff of the Commission; and (v) in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, include the names of the Holders, who propose to sell Securities pursuant to the
Shelf Registration Statement, as selling securityholders. 
  
 (b) The Company shall give written notice to the Initial Purchasers, the Holders of the Securities and any Participating Broker-Dealer from whom the Company has received prior written 

  

 5 

 
notice that it will be a Participating Broker-Dealer in the Registered Exchange Offer (which notice pursuant to clauses (ii)-(v) hereof shall be accompanied
by an instruction to suspend the use of the prospectus until the requisite changes have been made): 
  
 (i) when the Registration Statement or any amendment thereto has been filed with the Commission and when the Registration Statement or any
post-effective amendment thereto has become effective; 
  
 (ii) of any request by the Commission for amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or the prospectus included therein or for additional information; 
  
 (iii) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration
Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose; 
  
 (iv) of the receipt by the Company or its legal counsel of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any
proceeding for such purpose; and 
  
 (v) of the
happening of any event that requires the Company to make changes in the Registration Statement or the prospectus in order that the Registration Statement or the prospectus do not contain an untrue statement of a material fact nor omit to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of the prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading. 
  
 (c) The Company shall make every reasonable effort to obtain
the withdrawal at the earliest possible time, of any order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement. 
  
 (d) The Company shall furnish to each Holder of Securities included within the coverage of the Shelf Registration, without charge, at
least one copy of the Shelf Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto, including financial statements and schedules, and, if the Holder so requests in writing, all exhibits thereto (including those, if any, incorporated by
reference). 
  
 (e) The Company shall deliver to
each Exchanging Dealer and each Initial Purchaser, and to any other Holder who so requests, without charge, at least one copy of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto, including financial statements and
schedules, and, if any Initial Purchaser or any such Holder requests, all exhibits thereto (including those incorporated by reference). 
  
 (f) The Company shall, during the Shelf Registration Period, deliver to each Holder of Securities included within the coverage of the
Shelf Registration, without charge, as many copies of the prospectus (including each preliminary prospectus) included in the Shelf Registration Statement and any amendment or supplement thereto as such person may reasonably request. The Company
consents, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, to the use of the prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling Holders of the Securities in connection with the offering and sale of the Securities covered by the
prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, included in the Shelf Registration Statement. 
  

 6 

 (g) The Company shall deliver to each Initial Purchaser, any Exchanging Dealer, any
Participating Broker-Dealer and such other persons required to deliver a prospectus following the Registered Exchange Offer, without charge, as many copies of the final prospectus included in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement and any
amendment or supplement thereto as such persons may reasonably request. The Company consents, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, to the use of the prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto by any Initial Purchaser, if necessary,
any Participating Broker-Dealer and such other persons required to deliver a prospectus following the Registered Exchange Offer in connection with the offering and sale of the Exchange Securities covered by the prospectus, or any amendment or
supplement thereto, included in such Exchange Offer Registration Statement. 
  
 (h) Prior to any public offering of the Securities, pursuant to any Registration Statement, the Company shall register or qualify or cooperate with the Holders of the Securities included therein and their respective
counsel in connection with the registration or qualification of the Securities for offer and sale under the securities or “blue sky” laws of such states of the United States as any Holder of the Securities reasonably requests in writing
and do any and all other acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the offer and sale in such jurisdictions of the Securities covered by such Registration Statement; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to (i) qualify
generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified or (ii) take any action which would subject it to general service of process or to taxation in any jurisdiction where it is not then so subject. 
  
 (i) The Company shall cooperate with the Holders of the
Securities to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing the Securities to be sold pursuant to any Registration Statement free of any restrictive legends and in such denominations and registered in such names as the
Holders may request a reasonable period of time prior to sales of the Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. 
  
 (j) Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by paragraphs (ii) through (v) of Section 3(b) above during the period for which the
Company is required to maintain an effective Registration Statement, the Company shall promptly prepare and file a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus and any other required document so
that, as thereafter delivered to Holders of the Securities or purchasers of Securities, the prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. If the Company notifies the Initial Purchasers, the Holders of the Securities and any known Participating Broker-Dealer in accordance with paragraphs (ii)
through (v) of Section 3(b) above to suspend the use of the prospectus until the requisite changes to the prospectus have been made, then the Initial Purchasers, the Holders of the Securities and any such Participating Broker-Dealers shall suspend
use of such prospectus, and the period of effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement provided for in Section 2(b) above and the Exchange Offer Registration Statement provided for in Section 1 above shall each be extended by the number of days
from and including the date of the giving of such notice to and including the date when the Initial Purchasers, the Holders of the Securities and any known Participating Broker-Dealer shall have received such amended or supplemented prospectus
pursuant to this Section 3(j). 
  
 (k) Not later
than the effective date of the applicable Registration Statement, the Company will provide a CUSIP number for the Initial Securities, the Exchange Securities or the Private Exchange Securities, as the case may be, and provide the applicable trustee
with printed 

  

 7 

 
certificates for the Initial Securities, the Exchange Securities or the Private Exchange Securities, as the case may be, in a form eligible for deposit with
The Depository Trust Company. 
  
 (l) The Company
will comply with all rules and regulations of the Commission to the extent and so long as they are applicable to the Registered Exchange Offer or the Shelf Registration and will make generally available to its security holders (or otherwise provide
in accordance with Section 11(a) of the Securities Act) an earnings statement satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act, no later than 45 days after the end of a 12-month period (or 90 days, if such period is a fiscal year)
beginning with the first month of the Company’s first fiscal quarter commencing after the effective date of the Registration Statement, which statement shall cover such 12-month period. 
  
 (m) The Company shall cause the Indenture to be qualified
under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, in a timely manner and containing such changes, if any, as shall be necessary for such qualification. In the event that such qualification would require the appointment of a new trustee under the
Indenture, the Company shall appoint a new trustee thereunder pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Indenture. 
  
 (n) The Company may require each Holder of Securities to be sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement to furnish to the Company
such information regarding the Holder and the distribution of the Securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably require for inclusion in the Shelf Registration Statement, and the Company may exclude from such registration the Securities
of any Holder that unreasonably fails to furnish such information within a reasonable time after receiving such request. 
  
 (o) The Company shall enter into such customary agreements (including, if requested, an underwriting agreement in customary form) and take
all such other action, if any, as any Holder of the Securities shall reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Securities pursuant to any Shelf Registration. 
  
 (p) In the case of any Shelf Registration, the Company shall (i) make reasonably available for inspection by
the Holders of the Securities, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by the Holders of the Securities or any such underwriter all relevant
financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company and (ii) cause the Company’s officers, directors, employees, accountants and auditors to supply all relevant information reasonably requested by the
Holders of the Securities or any such underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with the Shelf Registration Statement, in each case, as shall be reasonably necessary to enable such persons, to conduct a reasonable investigation within
the meaning of Section 11 of the Securities Act; provided, however, that the foregoing inspection and information gathering shall be coordinated on behalf of the Initial Purchasers by you and on behalf of the other parties, by one counsel designated
by and on behalf of such other parties as described in Section 4 hereof. 
  
 (q) In the case of any Shelf Registration, the Company, if requested by any Holder of Securities covered thereby, shall cause (i) its counsel (including counsel which may be an employee of the Company) to deliver an
opinion and updates thereof relating to the Securities in customary form addressed to such Holders and the managing underwriters, if any, thereof and dated, in the case of the initial opinion, the effective date of such Shelf Registration Statement
(it being agreed that the matters to be covered by such opinion shall include, without limitation, the 

  

 8 

 
due incorporation and good standing of the Company and its subsidiaries; the qualification of the Company and its subsidiaries to transact business as
foreign corporations; the due authorization, execution and delivery of the relevant agreement of the type referred to in Section 3(o) hereof; the due authorization, execution, authentication and issuance, and the validity and enforceability, of the
applicable Securities; the absence of material legal or governmental proceedings involving the Company and its subsidiaries; the absence of governmental approvals required to be obtained in connection with the Shelf Registration Statement, the
offering and sale of the applicable Securities, or any agreement of the type referred to in Section 3(o) hereof; the compliance as to form of such Shelf Registration Statement and any documents incorporated by reference therein and of the Indenture
with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Trust Indenture Act, respectively; and, as of the date of the opinion and as of the effective date of the Shelf Registration Statement or most recent post-effective amendment thereto, as the case
may be, and therein stated as a confirmatory statement, in scope and form previously provided in connection with the initial issuance of the Initial Securities, the absence from such Shelf Registration Statement and the prospectus included therein,
as then amended or supplemented, and from any documents incorporated by reference therein of an untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading (in the case of any such documents, in the light of the circumstances existing at the time that such documents were filed with the Commission under the Exchange Act); (ii) its officers to execute and deliver all customary
documents and certificates and updates thereof requested by any underwriters of the applicable Securities and (iii) its independent public accountants and the independent public accountants with respect to any other entity for which financial
information is provided in the Shelf Registration Statement to provide to the selling Holders of the applicable Securities and any underwriter therefor a letter in customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered in comfort
letters in connection with primary underwritten offerings, subject to receipt of appropriate documentation as contemplated, and only if permitted, by Statement of Auditing Standards No. 72. 
  
 (r) In the case of the Registered Exchange Offer, if
requested by any Initial Purchaser or any known Participating Broker-Dealer, the Company shall cause (i) its counsel to deliver to such Initial Purchaser or such Participating Broker-Dealer signed opinions in the form set forth in Section 6(d) of
the Purchase Agreement with such changes as are customary in connection with the preparation of a Registration Statement and (ii) its independent public accountants and the independent public accountants with respect to any other entity for which
financial information is provided in the Registration Statement to deliver to such Initial Purchaser or such Participating Broker-Dealer letters, in customary form, meeting the requirements as to the substance thereof as set forth in Sections 6(a)
and (b) of the Purchase Agreement, with appropriate date changes. 
  
 (s) If a Registered Exchange Offer or a Private Exchange is to be consummated, upon delivery of the Initial Securities by Holders to the Company (or to such other Person as directed by the Company) in exchange for the
Exchange Securities or the Private Exchange Securities, as the case may be, the Company shall mark, or caused to be marked, on the Initial Securities so exchanged that such Initial Securities are being canceled in exchange for the Exchange
Securities or the Private Exchange Securities, as the case may be; in no event shall the Initial Securities be marked as paid or otherwise satisfied. 
  
 (t) The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to (a) if the Initial Securities have been rated prior to the initial sale of such
Initial Securities, confirm such ratings will apply to the Securities covered by a Registration Statement, or (b) if the Initial Securities were not previously rated, cause the Securities covered by a Registration Statement to be rated with the
appropriate 

  

 9 

 
rating agencies, if so requested by Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Securities covered by such Registration Statement, or by the
managing underwriters, if any. 
  
 (u) In the
event that any broker-dealer registered under the Exchange Act shall underwrite any Securities or participate as a member of an underwriting syndicate or selling group or “assist in the distribution” (within the meaning of the Conduct
Rules (the “Rules”) of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (“NASD”)) thereof, whether as a Holder of such Securities or as an underwriter, a placement or sales agent or a broker or dealer in respect thereof, or
otherwise, the Company will assist such broker-dealer in complying with the requirements of such Rules, including, without limitation, by (i) if such Rules, including Rule 2720, shall so require, engaging a “qualified independent
underwriter” (as defined in Rule 2720) to participate in the preparation of the Registration Statement relating to such Securities, to exercise usual standards of due diligence in respect thereto and, if any portion of the offering contemplated
by such Registration Statement is an underwritten offering or is made through a placement or sales agent, to recommend the yield of such Securities, (ii) indemnifying any such qualified independent underwriter to the extent of the indemnification of
underwriters provided in Section 5 hereof and (iii) providing such information to such broker-dealer as may be required in order for such broker-dealer to comply with the requirements of the Rules. 
  
 (v) The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to
take all other steps necessary to effect the registration of the Securities covered by a Registration Statement contemplated hereby. 
  
 4. Registration Expenses. The Company shall bear all fees and expenses incurred by it or at its discretion in connection with the
performance of its obligations under Sections 1 through 3 hereof, whether or not the Registered Exchange Offer or a Shelf Registration is filed or becomes effective, and, in the event of a Shelf Registration, shall bear or reimburse the Holders of
the Securities covered thereby for the reasonable fees and disbursements of one firm of counsel designated by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Initial Securities covered thereby to act as counsel for the Holders of the Initial
Securities in connection therewith. 
  
 5. Indemnification.
(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Holder of the Securities, any Participating Broker-Dealer and each person, if any, who controls such Holder or such Participating Broker-Dealer within the meaning of the Securities Act or
the Exchange Act (each Holder, any Participating Broker-Dealer and such controlling persons are referred to collectively as the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, or any
actions in respect thereof (including, but not limited to, any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions relating to purchases and sales of the Securities) to which each Indemnified Party may become subject under the Securities Act, the
Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a Registration Statement or prospectus or in
any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus relating to a Shelf Registration, or arise out of, or are based upon, the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
to make the statements therein not misleading, and shall reimburse, as incurred, the Indemnified Parties for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action in respect thereof; provided, however, that (i) the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission made in a Registration Statement or prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus relating to a Shelf Registration in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information pertaining to such Holder and furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder specifically for inclusion therein 

  

 10 

 
and (ii) with respect to any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in any preliminary prospectus relating to a Shelf
Registration Statement, the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection (a) shall not inure to the benefit of any Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer from whom the person asserting any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities purchased the
Securities concerned, to the extent that a prospectus relating to such Securities was required to be delivered by such Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer under the Securities Act in connection with such purchase and any such loss, claim, damage
or liability of such Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer results from the fact that there was not sent or given to such person, at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of such Securities to such person, a copy of the final prospectus
if the Company had previously furnished copies thereof to such Holder or Participating Broker-Dealer; provided further, however, that this indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have to such
Indemnified Party. The Company shall also indemnify underwriters, their officers and directors and each person who controls such underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act to the same extent as provided above with
respect to the indemnification of the Holders of the Securities if requested by such Holders. 
  
 (b) Each Holder of the Securities, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless the Company and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act
from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities or any actions in respect thereof, to which the Company or any such controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or actions arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a Registration Statement or prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any
preliminary prospectus relating to a Shelf Registration, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but in each case only to the extent
that the untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information pertaining to such Holder and furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder specifically for
inclusion therein; and, subject to the limitation set forth immediately preceding this clause, shall reimburse, as incurred, the Company for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or any such controlling person in connection
with investigating or defending any loss, claim, damage, liability or action in respect thereof. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which such Holder may otherwise have to the Company or any of its controlling persons.

  
 (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this
Section 5 of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including a governmental investigation), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 5, notify the
indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; but the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability that it may have under subsection (a) or (b) above except to the extent that it has been
materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided further that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an indemnified party
otherwise than under subsection (a) or (b) above. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein
and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the
indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party
under this Section 5 for any legal or other expenses, other than reasonable costs of investigation, subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written
consent of the 

  

 11 

 
indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened action in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and
indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party unless such settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on any claims that are the subject matter of such action, and (ii) does
not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party. 
  
 (d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 5 is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsections (a) or
(b) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to in subsection (a) or (b) above (i)
in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other from the exchange of the Securities, pursuant to the Registered Exchange
Offer, or (ii) if the allocation provided by the foregoing clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of
the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) as well as any other
relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the parties shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material
fact relates to information supplied by the Company on the one hand or such Holder or such other indemnified party, as the case may be, on the other, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct
or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in the first sentence of this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim which is the subject of this subsection (d). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5(d), the Holders of the Securities
shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds received by such Holders from the sale of the Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement exceeds the amount of damages which such Holders have
otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to
contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this paragraph (d), each person, if any, who controls such indemnified party within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act shall
have the same rights to contribution as such indemnified party and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company. 
  
 (e) The agreements contained in this Section 5 shall survive the sale of the
Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement and shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any termination or cancellation of this Agreement or any investigation made by or on behalf of any indemnified party. 
  
 6. Additional Interest Under Certain Circumstances. (a) Additional
interest (the “Additional Interest”) with respect to the Initial Securities shall be assessed as follows if any of the following events occur (each such event in clauses (i) through (v) below a “Registration Default”), and with
respect to Exchange Securities for which a Shelf Registration Statement is required pursuant to clause (iii) or (iv) of the first paragraph of Section 2 hereof, in the applicable instances covered by the following clauses (ii), (iv) and (v):

  
 (i) if the Company fails to file an Exchange
Offer Registration Statement with the Commission on or prior to the 90th day after the Issue Date; 
  

 12 

 (ii) if the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is not declared effective by the
Commission on or prior to the 180th day after the Issue Date or, if obligated to file a Shelf Registration
Statement, a Shelf Registration Statement is not declared effective by the Commission on or prior to the 180th day
after the date the Company is required to file such Shelf Registration Statement; 
  
 (iii) if the Exchange Offer is not consummated on or before the 240th day after the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is declared effective; 
  
 (iv) if obligated to file the Shelf Registration Statement, the Company fails to file the Shelf Registration
Statement with the Commission on or prior to the 90th day after the date on which the obligation to file a Shelf
Registration Statement arises; or 
  
 (v) If
after either the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or the Shelf Registration Statement is declared effective (A) such Registration Statement thereafter ceases to be effective; or (B) such Registration Statement or the related prospectus ceases
to be usable (except as permitted in paragraph (b)) in connection with resales of Transfer Restricted Securities during the periods specified herein because either (1) any event occurs as a result of which the related prospectus forming part of such
Registration Statement would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein in the light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading, or (2) it shall be
necessary to amend such Registration Statement or supplement the related prospectus, to comply with the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or the respective rules thereunder. 
  
 Additional Interest shall accrue on the Initial Securities over and above the interest set forth in the title of the Securities from and
including the date on which any such Registration Default shall occur to but excluding the date on which all such Registration Defaults have been cured, at a rate of 0.25% per annum for the first 90-day period immediately following the occurrence of
a Registration Default, and such rate will increase by an additional 0.25% per annum with respect to each subsequent 90-day period until all Registration Defaults have been cured, up to a maximum additional interest rate of 0.50% per annum.

  
 (b) A Registration Default referred to in Section 6(a)(v)(B)
hereof shall be deemed not to have occurred and be continuing in relation to a Shelf Registration Statement or the related prospectus if (i) such Registration Default has occurred solely as a result of (x) the filing of a post-effective amendment to
such Shelf Registration Statement to incorporate annual audited financial information with respect to the Company where such post-effective amendment is not yet effective and needs to be declared effective to permit Holders to use the related
prospectus or (y) other material events, with respect to the Company that would need to be described in such Shelf Registration Statement or the related prospectus and (ii) in the case of clause (y), the Company is proceeding promptly and in good
faith to amend or supplement such Shelf Registration Statement and related prospectus to describe such events; provided, however, that in any case if such Registration Default occurs for a continuous period in excess of 30 days, Additional Interest
shall be payable in accordance with the above paragraph from the day such Registration Default occurs until such Registration Default is cured. 
  
 (c) Any amounts of Additional Interest due pursuant to Section 6(a) above will be payable in cash on the regular interest payment dates with respect to
the Initial Securities. The amount of Additional Interest will be determined by multiplying the applicable Additional Interest rate by the principal amount of the 

  

 13 

 
Initial Securities, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days such Additional Interest rate was applicable during such period
(determined on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months), and the denominator of which is 360. 
  
 (d) ”Transfer Restricted Securities” means each Security until (i) the date on which such Transfer Restricted Security has been exchanged by a
person other than a broker-dealer for a freely transferable Exchange Security in the Registered Exchange Offer, (ii) following the exchange by a broker-dealer in the Registered Exchange Offer of a Initial Security for an Exchange Note, the date on
which such Exchange Note is sold to a purchaser who receives from such broker-dealer on or prior to the date of such sale a copy of the prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, (iii) the date on which such Initial Security
has been effectively registered under the Securities Act and disposed of in accordance with the Shelf Registration Statement or (iv) the date on which such Initial Securities are distributed to the public pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities
Act or is saleable pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act. 
  
 7. Rules 144 and 144A. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to file the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act in a timely manner and, if at any time the Company is not required
to file such reports, it will, upon the request of any Holder of Initial Securities, make publicly available other information so long as necessary to permit sales of their securities pursuant to Rules 144 and 144A. The Company covenants that it
will take such further action as any Holder of Initial Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell Initial Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the
limitation of the exemptions provided by Rules 144 and 144A (including the requirements of Rule 144A(d)(4)). The Company will provide a copy of this Agreement to prospective purchasers of Initial Securities identified to the Company by the Initial
Purchasers upon request. Upon the request of any Holder of Initial Securities, the Company shall deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section
7 shall be deemed to require the Company to register any of its securities pursuant to the Exchange Act. 
  
 8. Underwritten Registrations. If any of the Transfer Restricted Securities covered by any Shelf Registration are to be sold in an underwritten
offering, the investment banker or investment bankers and manager or managers that will administer the offering (“Managing Underwriters”) will be selected by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of such Transfer
Restricted Securities to be included in such offering. 
  
 No
person may participate in any underwritten registration hereunder unless such person (i) agrees to sell such person’s Transfer Restricted Securities on the basis reasonably provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the persons
entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.

  
 9. Miscellaneous. 
  
 (a) Remedies. The Company acknowledges and agrees that any failure by
the Company to comply with its obligations under Section 1 and 2 hereof may result in material irreparable injury to the Initial Purchasers or the Holders for which there is no adequate remedy at law, that it will not be possible to measure damages
for such injuries precisely and that, in the event of any such failure, the Initial Purchasers or any Holder may obtain such relief as may be required to specifically enforce the Company’s obligations under Sections 1 and 2 hereof. The Company
further agrees to waive the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate. 
  

 14 

 (b) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement may not be amended, modified or
supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, except by the Company and the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities affected by such amendment,
modification, supplement, waiver or consents. 
  
 (c)

affected or impaired thereby. 
  
 (k) Securities Held by the
Company. Whenever the consent or approval of Holders of a specified percentage of principal amount of Securities is required hereunder, Securities held by the Company or its affiliates (other than subsequent Holders of Securities if such
subsequent Holders are deemed to be affiliates solely by reason of their holdings of such Securities) shall not be counted in determining whether such consent or approval was given by the Holders of such required percentage. 
  
 (l) Entire Agreement. The parties hereto hereby agree that this
agreement, together with the Purchase Agreement, constitutes the entire understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any prior understandings, agreements or representations, written or oral, among the
parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof.

Issuer a counterpart hereof, whereupon this instrument, along with all counterparts, will become a binding agreement among the several Initial Purchasers, the Issuer and the Guarantors in accordance with its terms.

 ANNEX A 
  
 Each broker-dealer that receives Exchange Securities for its own account pursuant to the Exchange Offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus
in connection with any resale of such Exchange Securities. The Letter of Transmittal states that by so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the meaning
of the Securities Act. This Prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of Exchange Securities received in exchange for Initial Securities where such Initial
Securities were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities. The Company has agreed that, for a period of 180 days after the Expiration Date (as defined herein), it will make this Prospectus
available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any such resale. See “Plan of Distribution.” 
  

 ANNEX B 
  
 Each broker-dealer that receives Exchange Securities for its own account in exchange for Securities, where such Initial Securities were acquired by such
broker-dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such Exchange Securities. See “Plan of Distribution.” 
  

 ANNEX C 
  
 PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION 
  
 Each broker-dealer that receives Exchange Securities for its own account pursuant to the Exchange Offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus
in connection with any resale of such Exchange Securities. This Prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of Exchange Securities received in exchange for Initial
Securities where such Initial Securities were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities. The Company has agreed that, for a period of 180 days after the Expiration Date, it will make this prospectus, as amended or
supplemented, available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any such resale. In addition, until [                    ], all dealers
effecting transactions in the Exchange Securities may be required to deliver a prospectus. (1) 
  
 The Company will not receive any proceeds from any sale of Exchange
Securities by broker-dealers. Exchange Securities received by broker-dealers for their own account pursuant to the Exchange Offer may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions,
through the writing of options on the Exchange Securities or a combination of such methods of resale, at market prices prevailing at the time of resale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or negotiated prices. Any such resale may be
made directly to purchasers or to or through brokers or dealers who may receive compensation in the form of commissions or concessions from any such broker-dealer or the purchasers of any such Exchange Securities. Any broker-dealer that resells
Exchange Securities that were received by it for its own account pursuant to the Exchange Offer and any broker or dealer that participates in a distribution of such Exchange Securities may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the
meaning of the Securities Act and any profit on any such resale of Exchange Securities and any commission or concessions received by any such persons may be deemed to be underwriting compensation under the Securities Act. The Letter of Transmittal
states that, by acknowledging that it will deliver and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act. 
  
 For a period of 180 days after the Expiration Date the Company will promptly
send additional copies of this Prospectus and any amendment or supplement to this Prospectus to any broker-dealer that requests such documents in the Letter of Transmittal. The Company has agreed to pay all expenses incident to the Exchange Offer
(including the expenses of one counsel for the Holders of the Securities) other than commissions or concessions of any brokers or dealers and will indemnify the Holders of the Securities (including any broker-dealers) against certain liabilities,
including liabilities under the Securities Act. 

	(1)	In addition, the legend required by Item 502(e) of Regulation S-K will appear on the back
cover page of the Exchange Offer prospectus.

 The Seller desires to continue to transfer and assign Purchaser Interests to the Purchasers from time to time. In addition, the Seller may

 Each of the Uncommitted Purchasers may, in its absolute and sole discretion, purchase Purchaser Interests from the Seller from time to

 In addition, JPMorgan

 The parties wish to amend and restate the Existing Agreement in its entirety as hereinafter set forth, and accordingly, hereby agree as follows:

  
 ARTICLE I 
 AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF THE PURCHASES 
  
 Section 1.1. Purchase and Letter of Credit Facility. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, from time to time on or after the date of
this Agreement and prior to the Amortization Date: 
  
 (a) Purchases of Purchaser Interests. The Seller may request that all Conduit Groups and/or the USFA Group purchase Purchaser Interests offered for sale from time to time by delivering a Purchase Notice to the applicable Co-Agents in
accordance with Section 1.2. Upon receipt of a Purchase Notice from the Seller, each applicable Co-Agent shall determine whether its Uncommitted Purchaser will participate in the Purchase specified in such Purchase Notice, and 
  

 2 

 (i) in the event that any Conduit elects not to make its Percentage of a Purchase offered
to the Conduit Groups, its Co-Agent shall promptly notify the Seller and, unless the Seller cancels the Purchase Notice as to all Conduit Groups, each of such Conduit’s Committed Purchasers severally agrees to make its Ratable Share of the
applicable Conduit Group’s Percentage of such Purchase on the terms and subject to the conditions hereof; and 
  
 (ii) in the event that USF Assurance elects not to participate in a Purchase in which it is invited to participate by Seller, the Purchase
Notice shall be automatically cancelled solely as to USF Assurance and the amount of the requested aggregate Purchase Price shall be automatically reduced by the amount the Seller had requested from USF Assurance; 
  
 provided that (A) at no time may the aggregate Credit Exposure of any Group at
any one time outstanding exceed such Group’s Group Limit, (B) at no time may the aggregate Credit Exposure of all Groups exceed (1) the Net Receivables Balance minus (2) the Required Reserve, and (C) at no time may the Credit Exposure of the
USFA Group equal or exceed 50% of the aggregate Credit Exposure of all Groups. 
  
 (b) Issuance of Letters of Credit. The Seller may request that the LC Issuer issue Letters of Credit, and the LC Issuer hereby agrees to issue such Letters of Credit and to renew, extend, increase, decrease or
otherwise modify each Letter of Credit (“Modify,” and each such action a “Modification”), from time to time upon the request of the Seller; provided that no Letter of Credit shall be
issued or Modified by the LC Issuer if, after giving effect thereto, (i) the aggregate Credit Exposure of the Purchasers would exceed the Purchase Limit, (ii) the LC Obligations would exceed the LC Sublimit, or (iii) the Effective Receivable
Interest (as most recently computed or recomputed in accordance with Section 1.5 and expressed as a percentage) would exceed 100%; and provided, further, that each Letter of Credit issued pursuant to this Section 1.1(b)
shall have a face amount of not less than $1,000,000. No Letter of Credit shall have an original expiry date later than 364 days from the date of issuance or Modification. 
  
 (c) Reduction of Group Limits. The Seller may, upon prior written notice to each of the Co-Agents giving effect to
the Required Notice Period, terminate in whole or reduce in part, ratably among the Groups (and within each Conduit Group, ratably amongst the Committed Purchasers therein), the unused portion of such Group’s Group Limit; provided
that (i) each partial reduction of a Group Limit shall be in an amount equal to $10,000,000, (ii) no Group’s Group Limit may be reduced below such Group’s Credit Exposure that will remain outstanding after giving effect to any
reduction therein, and (iii) unless all Group Limits and all Credit Exposure will be reduced to zero, after giving effect to such reduction, no Group’s Group Limit will be less than $50,000,000. 
  
 Section 1.2. Incremental Purchases. 
  
 (a) Purchase Notices. The Seller shall provide the Co-Agents with at
least two (2) Business Days’ prior written notice in a form set forth as Exhibit IX hereto of each Incremental Purchase (each, a “Purchase Notice”). Each Purchase Notice shall be subject to Section 4.2
hereof and, except as set forth below, shall be irrevocable and shall specify (i) the date of the 

  

 3 

 
proposed Purchase, (ii) whether USF Assurance is being offered a Purchaser Interest and if so, at what Purchase Price, (iii) whether the Conduit Groups are
being offered a Purchaser Interest and if so, the requested aggregate Purchase Price for the Conduit Groups and each Conduit Group’s Percentage thereof (which shall not be less than $1,000,000 per Conduit Group), and (iv) the requested Discount
Rate and Tranche Period that will apply in the event that the Committed Purchasers of any Group participate in such Purchase. 
  
 (b) Uncommitted Purchasers’ Election Not to Fund. Following receipt of a Purchase Notice applicable to its Group, each of the Co-Agents will
determine whether its Uncommitted Purchaser agrees to purchase the offered Purchaser Interest (or, in the case of a Conduit, its Percentage of the Purchaser Interest offered to the Conduit Groups). If a Conduit declines to make its Percentage of a
proposed Purchase by the Conduit Groups, the applicable Co-Agent shall promptly advise the Seller of such fact, and the Seller may thereupon cancel the Purchase Notice as to that Conduit Group or, in the absence of such a cancellation, the
Incremental Purchase of such Conduit Group’s Percentage of the applicable Purchaser Interest will be made by the Committed Purchasers in such Conduit Group. If USF Assurance declines to participate in a Purchase proposed to be made by it, the
Purchase Notice shall automatically be deemed cancelled solely as to USF Assurance. 
  
 (c) Payment of Purchase Price. On the date of each Incremental Purchase, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article IV, each Uncommitted Purchaser or Committed
Purchaser, as applicable, shall deposit to the Facility Account, in immediately available funds, no later than 12:00 noon (Chicago time), an amount equal to (i) in the case of USF Assurance, the Purchase Price specified in the applicable Purchase
Notice for the Purchaser Interest offered to it, (ii) in the case of a Conduit, its Group’s Percentage of the Purchase Price of the Purchaser Interest offered to the Conduit Groups pursuant to such Purchase Notice or (iii) in the case of a
Committed Purchaser, such Committed Purchaser’s Pro Rata Share of its Group’s Percentage of the Purchase Price for the Purchaser Interest offered to the Conduit Groups pursuant to such Purchase Notice. 
  
 (d) Assignment of Purchaser Interests. Seller hereby sells, assigns
and transfers to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the applicable Purchasers and their permitted assigns, effective on and as of the date of each Purchase, each Purchaser Interest described in the applicable Purchase Notice. 

 
 Section 1.3. Letters of Credit. 
  
 (a) Letter of Credit Requests. Subject to Section 1.1, Seller
shall give the LC Issuer and the Co-Agents of the Conduit Groups reasonable prior notice of the proposed date of issuance or Modification of each Letter of Credit (and in no event shall such notice be given later than 12:00 noon (Chicago time) three
Business Days prior to such issuance or Modification), by delivering a copy of the Letter of Credit Request provided to it under the Sale Agreement, together with a transmittal letter in substantially the form of Exhibit V hereto, duly completed by
Seller. The issuance or Modification by the LC Issuer of any Letter of Credit shall, in addition to the conditions precedent set forth in Article IV, be subject to the conditions precedent that such Letter of Credit shall be reasonably
satisfactory to the LC Issuer and that Seller shall have executed and delivered such application agreement and/or such other instruments and 

  

 4 

 
agreements relating to such Letter of Credit as the LC Issuer shall have reasonably requested (each, an “LC Application” ). In no
event shall the LC Issuer be obligated to issue a Modification if, on the proposed date of such Modification, the LC Issuer would not be obligated to issue new Letters of Credit if requested or if the beneficiary does not consent to the proposed
terms of the Modification. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of any LC Application, the terms of the LC Application shall control. 
  
 (b) Reimbursement by Seller. Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any demand for payment
under such Letter of Credit, the LC Issuer shall notify the Co-Agents and Seller as to the amount to be paid by the LC Issuer as a result of such demand and the proposed payment date (the “LC Payment Date” ). The
responsibility of the LC Issuer to Seller shall be only to determine that the documents (including each demand for payment) delivered under each Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment shall be in conformity in all material respects
with such Letter of Credit. Seller shall be irrevocably and unconditionally obligated to reimburse the LC Issuer on or before the applicable LC Payment Date for any amounts to be paid by the LC Issuer upon any drawing under any Letter of Credit,
without presentment, demand, protest or other formalities of any kind, either from cash on hand or, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, with the proceeds of a Purchase; provided that Seller shall not hereby be precluded from
asserting any claim for direct (but not consequential) damages suffered by Seller to the extent, but only to the extent, caused by (i) the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the LC Issuer or (ii) the LC Issuer’s failure to pay under any
Letter of Credit issued by it after the presentation to it of a request strictly complying with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit. All such amounts paid by the LC Issuer and remaining unpaid by Seller (whether from cash on hand or
with the proceeds of a Purchase made in accordance with this Agreement) shall bear interest (“Interest”), payable on each Settlement Date in arrears out of SELLER Collections, for each day until paid at a rate per annum equal
to the Default Rate. Regardless of whether the applicable LC Payment Date has occurred, the Co-Agents are hereby irrevocably directed to pay the proceeds of each Purchase made while any Reimbursement Obligation remains outstanding directly to the LC
Issuer until all such Reimbursement Obligations, together with all accrued and unpaid interest and LC Fees thereon, are paid in full. Seller’s Reimbursement Obligations and obligation to pay Interest pursuant to this Section 1.3(b) shall
be secured by a pledge of the Seller Interest. 
  
 (c)
Obligations Absolute. Seller’s obligations under this Section 1.3 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this
Agreement, or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto; (ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, set-off, defense or other right that Seller or any Originator may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such
Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the applicable LC Issuer or any other person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of
Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction; (iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any
respect (provided that such draft, demand, certificate or other document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit appears on its face to comply with the terms thereof) or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any
loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such 

  

 5 

 
Letter of Credit; (iv) any payment by the LC Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply
with the terms of such Letter of Credit (provided that such draft, demand, certificate or other document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit appears on its face to comply with the terms thereof); or any payment made by the LC Issuer under
such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such
Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, or any other liquidation, conservatorship, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, moratorium, rearrangement,
receivership, insolvency, reorganization, or similar debtor relief laws of the United States or other applicable jurisdictions from time to time in effect and affecting the rights of creditors generally; (v) any exchange, release or non-perfection
of any collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to the departure from any guarantee, for all or any of the obligations of Seller or any Originator in respect of any Letter of Credit; or (vi) any other circumstance or happening
whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, Seller of the applicable Originator, provided that Seller shall not
hereby be precluded from asserting any claim for direct (but not consequential) damages suffered by Seller to the extent, but only to the extent, caused by (i) the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the LC Issuer or (ii) the LC Issuer’s
failure to pay under any Letter of Credit issued by it after the presentation to it of a request strictly complying with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit. Seller shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each
amendment thereto that is delivered to it, and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with Seller’s instructions or other irregularity, Seller will immediately (and in any event within 5 Business Days) notify the LC Issuer. Seller shall be
conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the LC Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid. 
  
 (d) Actions of LC Issuer. With respect to any actions taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, the LC Issuer
shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any Letter of Credit, draft, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or
other document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by the LC Issuer.

  
 (e) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of
Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the LC Issuer or the Committed Purchasers, the LC Issuer hereby grants to each Committed Purchaser, and each Committed
Purchaser hereby acquires from the LC Issuer, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Committed Purchaser’s Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance
of the foregoing, each Committed Purchaser hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the LC Issuer, such Committed Purchaser’s Percentage of each draw honored by the LC Issuer pursuant to a Letter of Credit and not reimbursed by
the Seller on the date due as provided in this Section 1.3(e), or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Seller for any reason. Each Committed Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire
participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and 

  

 6 

 
unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the
occurrence and continuance of a Servicer Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. The Committed Purchasers shall be entitled
to receive their ratable shares of any LC Fees and Interest actually collected by the LC Issuer, but in no event shall they be entitled to share in any other fees, commissions, charges or expenses payable to the LC Issuer. 
  
 (f) LC Issuer Agreements. At any time while any Letter of Credit or
Reimbursement Obligation remains outstanding, (i) not later than the third Business Day of each week, the daily activity (set forth by day) in respect of Letters of Credit during the immediately preceding week, including all issuances, extensions,
amendments and renewals, all expirations and cancellations and all disbursements and reimbursements, (ii) on or prior to each Business Day on which the LC Issuer expects to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit, the date of such
issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, and the aggregate face amount of the Letters of Credit to be issued, amended, renewed or extended by it and outstanding after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension occurred (and
whether the amount thereof changed), it being understood that the LC Issuer shall not permit any issuance, renewal, extension or amendment resulting in an increase in the amount of any Letter of Credit to occur without first obtaining confirmation
from the Blue Ridge Agent or the Administrative Agent that it is then permitted under this Agreement, (iii) on each Business Day on which such LC Issuer makes any payment to a beneficiary pursuant to a Letter of Credit, the date and amount of such
payment, (iv) on any Business Day on which the Seller fails to reimburse a Reimbursement Obligation required to be reimbursed to the LC Issuer on such day, the date and amount of such failure, and (v) on any other Business Day, such other
information as any of the Co-Agents may reasonably request. The LC Issuer shall invoice the Seller for LC Fees no later than the 10th Business Day immediately preceding each Settlement Date described in clause (A) of the definition of
“Settlement Date” and shall disburse each Committed Purchaser’s share of LC Fees and Interest received by the LC Issuer within two Business Days after the LC Issuer’s receipt thereof. 
  
 Section 1.4. Allocation of Collections; Reinvestments. 
  
 (a) Allocation of Collections Between the Purchaser Interests and the
Seller’s Interest. On each day during the Revolving Period and the Liquidation Period on which Collections are received, the Servicer shall allocate such Collections ratably to the Purchaser Interests and to the Seller Interest. Collections
allocated to the Purchaser Interests shall hereinafter be referred to as “PURCHASER Collections,” and Collections allocated to the Seller Interest shall hereinafter be referred to as “SELLER
Collections.” 
  
 (b) Payments Due and Turnover of
PURCHASER Collections on Settlement Dates. On each Settlement Date, the Servicer shall pay to each of the Co-Agents, for distribution to the Purchasers in its Group, PURCHASER Collections in an amount equal to all Discount, CP Costs, Broken
Funding Costs, Servicer Fee, and other fees and other amounts that are then due and owing to the Agents or the Purchasers under the Transaction Documents, together with any required reductions in Aggregate Capital pursuant to Section 1.5 or
Section 1.6 (all of the foregoing, collectively, the “Required Amounts”), and any remaining PURCHASER Collections 

  

 7 

 
may be paid to the Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of this Agreement or any Fee Letter shall require the payment or permit the collection
of any amounts hereunder in excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law. 
  
 (c) Application of PURCHASER Collections During the Revolving Period. Prior to the Liquidation Period, any Collections and/or Deemed Collections received by the Servicer shall be set aside and held in trust by
the Servicer for the payment of any accrued and unpaid Aggregate Unpaids or for a Reinvestment as provided in this Section 1.4(c). On each day during the Revolving Period which is not a Settlement Date, subject to Section
1.6 and the last sentence of this Section 1.4(c), PURCHASER Collections shall first be applied to making additional Purchases of undivided interests in Receivables and Related Security, such that after giving effect thereto, the Aggregate
Capital outstanding from the Purchasers is equal to the Aggregate Capital outstanding immediately prior to receipt of such PURCHASER Collections (each such Purchase, a “Reinvestment”) so long as after giving effect to such
Reinvestment, the Effective Receivable Interest does not exceed 100%. Each Reinvestment will be presumed to be made ratably amongst all Groups in accordance with their respective amounts of Aggregate Capital outstanding unless USF Assurance delivers
written notice to the Seller and the Co-Agents that it does not wish to participate in a Reinvestment, in which case such Reinvestment will be made ratably amongst the Conduit Groups in accordance with their respective Percentages. If on any
Settlement Date, there are insufficient PURCHASER Collections to pay all Required Amounts, the next available PURCHASER Collections shall be applied to such payment, and no Reinvestment shall be permitted hereunder until such amount payable has been
paid in full. 
  
 (d) Application of SELLER Collections During
the Revolving Period. 
  
 (i) On each
Settlement Date during the Revolving Period, Servicer shall pay to the LC Issuer, SELLER Collections in an amount equal to all accrued and unpaid Interest, LC Fees and other fees, if any, then due and owing pursuant to Section 1.3 or the Fee
Letters and the amount of any cash collateral required pursuant to Section 1.5(e) or Section 1.8(b)(iii). 
  
 (ii) On each day during the Revolving Period on which any SELLER Collections are received, after payment of any amounts that are then due
and owing pursuant to Section 1.4(d)(i), SELLER Collections shall be applied first, to purchase additional Receivables under the Sale Agreement, such that after giving effect thereto, the Net Receivables Balance is greater than
or equal to the Net Receivables Balance immediately prior to receipt of such SELLER Collections, second, to reduction of any accrued and unpaid interest or principal under the Subordinated Notes, and thereafter, paid to
Seller for any purpose not inconsistent with the Transaction Documents; and 
  
 (iii) If, on any such day, a Potential Servicer Default or Servicer Default exists and is continuing or Collection Notices have been delivered pursuant to Section 6.3, such remaining SELLER Collections shall be
paid to, and held in trust for the LC Issuer by, the Seller (or, if the Seller or one of its affiliates is not then acting as Servicer, retained and held in trust by the Servicer) until the next Settlement Date in a segregated account which is
subject to a first priority 

  

 8 

 
perfected security interest in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the LC Issuer and the Committed Purchasers. 
  
 (e) Application of Collections During the Liquidation Period. On each
day during the Liquidation Period, all Collections shall be allocated to the Receivable Interests ratably and shall be held in trust for the Purchasers and the LC Issuer, as applicable, by Servicer until the next Settlement Date in a segregated
account which is subject to a first priority perfected security interest in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of LC Issuer and the Purchasers. On each Settlement Date during the Liquidation Period, Servicer shall turn over to the
Co-Agents and the LC Issuer, as applicable, a sufficient portion of the Collections to pay all Program Fees, Facility Fees, LC Fees, Discount, Interest and CP Costs that are then due and owing, and on each Settlement Date during the Liquidation
Period, Servicer shall turn over all remaining Collections to the Co-Agents for distribution in accordance with Section 1.8. 
  
 Section 1.5. Computation of Receivable Interest. 
  
 (a) The Effective Receivable Interest (and the portions thereof comprising the Purchaser Interests and the Pledged Interest) shall be computed as of the
last day of each Settlement Period (after giving effect to any payments to be made on the next succeeding Settlement Date pursuant to this Agreement) and on the Amortization Date. 
  
 (b) In addition to the computations required by Section 1.5(a): 
  
 (i) if, on any Business Day during the Revolving Period, the
Seller desires the Purchasers to make an Incremental Purchase or desires the LC Issuer to issue, increase or extend a Letter of Credit and the Effective Receivable Interest as reflected on the most recent Monthly Report delivered to the Agents would
exceed 100% after giving effect to such proposed Incremental Purchase, Letter of Credit issuance or Letter of Credit increase, the Seller may provide to the Agents, not later than delivery of the Purchase Notice for such Incremental Purchase
pursuant to Section 1.2, a written recomputation of the Effective Receivable Interest reflecting the proposed increase in Aggregate Capital or LC Obligations and changes since the last day of the prior Settlement Period in the Net Receivables
Balance and Required Reserve, in which case, the Effective Receivable Interest shall be recomputed as of the date of such recomputation; and 
  
 (ii) at any time, the Administrative Agent may reasonably require Servicer to provide an updated Monthly Report based on the information
then available to Servicer, for purposes of recomputing the Effective Receivable Interest or demonstrating that the Credit Exposure does not exceed the Purchase Limit as of any other date, and Servicer agrees to do so within five (5) Business Days
(or three (3) Business Days, if a Servicer Default has occurred and is continuing) after its receipt of the Administrative Agent’s request. 
  
 (c) On the Reporting Date for each Settlement Period, Servicer shall compute, as of the related Cut-Off Date and based upon the assumptions in the next
sentence, (i) the Effective Receivable Interest (and the portions thereof comprised by the Purchaser Interest and the 

  

 9 

 
Pledged Interest), (ii) the amount of the reduction or increase (if any) in the Effective Receivable Interest since the next preceding Cut-Off Date, (iii)
the excess (if any) of the Effective Receivable Interest over 100%, and (iv) the excess (if any) of the Credit Exposure over the Purchase Limit. Such calculation shall be based upon the assumptions that (A) the information in the Monthly Report is
correct, and (B) PURCHASER Collections will be paid to the Co-Agents, for the benefit of the Purchasers, and SELLER Collections will be paid to the LC Issuer, on the Settlement Date for such Settlement Period, to the extent required by Section
1.4. 
  
 (d) If, according to the computations made pursuant
to clause (b)(i) above, (i) the Effective Receivable Interest exceeds 100%, or (ii) the Credit Exposure exceeds the Purchase Limit, then on the Settlement Date for such Settlement Period, Servicer shall first pay to the Co-Agents, for
the benefit of the Purchasers in its Group (to the extent of PURCHASER Collections during the related Settlement Period not previously paid to the Co-Agents) and next, only if the excess described above persists, pay to the LC Issuer (to the
extent of SELLER Collections during the related Settlement Period not previously paid to the LC Issuer) the amount necessary to reduce the Credit Exposure to the Purchase Limit (and/or, if directed by Seller, held to Cash-Collateralize the LC
Obligations in an amount necessary to eliminate any excess Credit Exposure) and reduce the Effective Receivable Interest to 100% or the LC Obligations to the LC Sublimit, as applicable. 
  
 (e) If, according to any recomputation of the Effective Receivable Interest pursuant to Section 1.5(b), (i) the
Effective Receivable Interest exceeds 100% or (ii) the Credit Exposure exceeds the Purchase Limit, then on each Business Day on and after each such recomputation, Servicer shall first pay to the Co-Agents, for the benefit of the Purchasers
(to the extent of PURCHASER Collections during the current Settlement Period not previously paid to the Co-Agents) and next, only if the excess described above persists, pay to the LC Issuer (to the extent of SELLER Collections during the
related Settlement Period not previously paid to the LC Issuer) the amount necessary to reduce the Effective Receivable Interest to 100% or the Credit Exposure to the Purchase Limit, which payment shall be held to Cash-Collateralize the LC
Obligations. Notwithstanding payment to the Co-Agents in accordance with this Section 1.5(e), Discount and CP Costs shall continue to accrue on the full amount of Capital outstanding, and Interest shall continue to accrue on
Reimbursement Obligations, until such payment is applied on the next succeeding Settlement Date. 
  
 Section 1.6. Decreases. The Seller shall provide the Co-Agents with prior written notice in conformity with the Required Notice Period of any
reduction requested by the Seller of the Aggregate Capital outstanding (a “Reduction Notice”). Such Reduction Notice shall designate (i) the date (the “Proposed Reduction Date”) upon which any such
reduction of Aggregate Capital shall occur (which date shall give effect to the applicable Required Notice Period), (ii) the amount by which Aggregate Capital shall be reduced (the “Aggregate Reduction”), and (iii) whether
USF Assurance will participate in such Aggregate Reduction. The Aggregate Reduction shall be applied ratably to the Purchaser Interests of the Conduit Groups (and, if applicable, the USFA Group) in accordance with the amount of Capital owing to each
and within each such Group, ratably in accordance with the amount of Capital, if any, owing to each Purchaser in such Group. Only one (1) Reduction Notice shall be outstanding at any time. 
  

 10 

 Section 1.7. Deemed Collections. Seller shall forthwith deliver to Servicer all Deemed
Collections, and Servicer shall hold or distribute such Deemed Collections in accordance with Section 1.8 as if such Deemed Collections had actually been received on the date of such delivery to Servicer. 
  
 Section 1.8. Order of Application of Collections on Settlement Dates.

  
 (a) Upon receipt by any Co-Agent, on behalf of the Purchasers
in its Group, on any Settlement Date of PURCHASER Collections, such Co-Agent shall apply them to the items specified in the subclauses below, in the order of priority of such subclauses: 
  
 (i) to any accrued and unpaid Discount, CP Costs and Broken Fund Costs that are then due and owing,
including any previously accrued Discount, CP Costs and Broken Funds Costs which were not paid on the applicable Settlement Date; 
  
 (ii) to the accrued and unpaid Servicer Fee (if Servicer is not Seller or one of its Affiliates); 
  
 (iii) to the Facility Fee and the Program Fee accrued during
such Settlement Period, plus any previously accrued Facility Fee and Program Fee not paid on a prior Settlement Date; 
  
 (iv) to the reduction of Aggregate Capital, to the extent such reduction is required under Section 1.5 or Section 1.6 during
the Revolving Period and to the extent of remaining PURCHASER Collections during the Liquidation Period; 
  
 (v) to other accrued and unpaid amounts owing to any of the Purchasers or Agents hereunder; 
  
 (vi) to the accrued and unpaid Servicer Fee (if Servicer is
Seller or its Affiliate); and 
  
 (vii) during
the Revolving Period, to the uses and in the order specified in Section 1.4; and 
  
 (b) Upon receipt by the LC Issuer on any Settlement Date of SELLER Collections, the LC Issuer shall apply them to the items specified in the subclauses below, in the order of priority of such subclauses: 

 
 (i) to any accrued and unpaid Interest that is then due
and owing, including any previously accrued interest which were not paid on its applicable Settlement Date; 
  
 (ii) to the LC Fees accrued during such Settlement Period, plus any previously accrued LC Fees not paid on a prior Settlement Date (it
being understood that the LC Issuer may take up to two Business Days to distribute each Committed Purchaser’s share of any amounts applied to accrued LC Fees); 
  

 11 

 (iii) to Cash-Collateralize LC Obligations in respect of Letters of Credit then
outstanding, beginning with the Letter of Credit with the earliest expiration date, to the extent required under Section 1.5 during the Revolving Period and to the extent of remaining SELLER Collections during the Liquidation Period; and

  
 (iv) during the Revolving Period, to the uses
and in the order specified in Section 1.4. 
  
 Section 1.9.
Servicer Fee. To the extent of available Collections in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 1.8, on each Settlement Date while any Aggregate Unpaids are outstanding, the Servicer shall be paid a servicing and collection
fee (the “Servicer Fee”) equal to 1.0% per annum (or such other arm’s length fee as may be mutually agreed upon from time to time by the Servicer, the Originators and the Administrative Agent) on the average daily amount
of Capital during the calendar month (or portion thereof) then most recently ended. The Servicer Fee shall be computed for actual days elapsed on the basis of a year consisting of 365 days. The Agents hereby consent (which consent may be revoked at
any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Servicer Default or Potential Servicer Default), to the retention by Servicer of a portion of the PURCHASER Collections equal to the Servicer Fee, in which case no distribution shall be
made in respect of the Servicer Fee pursuant to Section 1.8(a)(ii) or (vi) above; provided, however, that Servicer may not retain the Purchased Percentage of the Servicer Fee unless PURCHASER Collections turned over to
the Co-Agents pursuant to Section 1.8 above will be sufficient to pay all obligations of a higher priority as specified in such Section. 
  
 Section 1.10. Release of Excess Cash Collateral. If on any Settlement Date during the Revolving Period, the balances in the Letter of Credit
Collateral Account exceed the amount required by this Agreement, unless a Servicer Default or Potential Servicer Default shall exist and be continuing, the LC Issuer shall release the excess cash collateral to Seller. 
  
 Section 1.11. Grant of Security Interest. The Seller hereby grants to
the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Purchasers and the LC Issuer, a security interest in all of its right, title and interest, now owned or hereafter acquired, in the Receivables, the Related Security, each Collection Account,
the Collections and proceeds thereof to secure payment of the Aggregate Unpaids, including its indemnity obligations under Article VIII and all other obligations owed hereunder to the Agents and the Purchasers. After a Servicer Default, the
Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Purchasers and the LC Issuer, shall have, in addition to the rights and remedies it may have under this Agreement, all other rights and remedies provided to a secured creditor after default under the UCC and
other applicable law, which rights and remedies shall be cumulative. 
  
 Section 1.12. Payment Requirements. All amounts to be paid or deposited by the Seller or the Servicer pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be paid or deposited in accordance with the terms hereof no later than 12:00 noon
(Chicago time) on the day when due in immediately available funds, and if not received before 12:00 noon (Chicago time) shall be deemed to be received on the next succeeding Business Day. If such amounts are payable to the Administrative Agent or a
member of the Falcon Group, they shall be paid for its account to the Falcon Agent, at 1 Bank One Plaza, Chicago, Illinois 60670 until otherwise notified by the 

  

 12 

 
Falcon Agent. If such amounts are payable to a member of the Three Pillars Group, they shall be paid for its account to the Three Pillars Agent, at 303
Peachtree Street, Atlanta, GA 30308 until otherwise notified by the Three Pillars Agent. If such amounts are payable to a member of the Blue Ridge Group, they shall be paid for its account to the Blue Ridge Agent, at 301 S. College Street,

Funding Corporation Acct #671042302550, Reference: Yellow Roadway, until otherwise notified by the Amsterdam Agent. In the event the Seller shall fail to pay any amount when due hereunder, upon notice to the Seller, the Administrative Agent may
debit the Facility Account for all such amounts due and payable hereunder. All computations of Discount, per annum fees calculated as part of any CP Costs, per annum fees hereunder and under the Fee Letters shall be made on the basis of a year of
360 days for the actual number of days elapsed. If any amount hereunder shall be payable on a day which is not a Business Day, such amount shall be payable on the next succeeding Business Day. 
  
 Section 1.13. Payments Rescission. No payment of any of the Aggregate
Unpaids shall be considered paid or applied hereunder to the extent that, at any time, all or any portion of such payment or application is rescinded by application of law or judicial authority, or must otherwise be returned or refunded for any
reason. The Seller shall remain obligated for the amount of any payment or application so rescinded, returned or refunded, and shall promptly pay to each applicable Co-Agent (for application to the Person or Persons who suffered such rescission,
return or refund) or the LC Issuer, as applicable, the full amount thereof, plus, if such amount represented a refund of Capital, CP Costs, Interest or Discount, as applicable, with respect thereto from the date of any such rescission, return or
refunding. 
  
 Section 1.14. Seller Repurchase Option. The
Seller shall have the right, by prior written notice to the Agents given in not less than the Required Notice Period, at any time to repurchase from the Purchasers all, but not less than all, of the then outstanding Purchaser Interests. The
aggregate purchase price in respect thereof shall be an amount equal to the Aggregate Unpaids through the date of such repurchase, payable in immediately available funds. Such repurchase shall be without representation, warranty or recourse of any
kind by, on the part of, or against any Purchaser or any Agent. 
  
 ARTICLE II 
 CP COSTS AND DISCOUNT 
  
 Section 2.1. Conduit Funding. 
  
 (a) CP Costs. The Seller shall pay CP Costs with respect to the Capital associated with each
Purchaser Interest of a Conduit for each day that any Capital in respect of such Purchaser Interest is outstanding; provided, however, that from and after the occurrence of a Servicer Default, the Seller shall pay Discount at the
Default Rate with respect to each such Purchaser Interest. Each Purchaser 

  

 13 

 
Interest funded by a Pool-Funded Conduit substantially with Pooled Commercial Paper will accrue CP Costs each day on a pro rata basis, based upon the
percentage share the Capital in respect of such Purchaser Interest represents in relation to all assets held by such Pool-Funded Conduit and funded substantially with Pooled Commercial Paper. 
  
 (b) CP Costs Payments. On each Settlement Date, the
Seller shall pay to each Co-Agent (for the benefit of such Co-Agent’s Uncommitted Purchaser) an aggregate amount equal to all accrued and unpaid CP Costs in respect of the Capital associated with all Purchaser Interests of such Uncommitted
Purchaser for the immediately preceding Accrual Period in accordance with Section 1.4(b). 
  
 (c) Calculation of CP Costs. On the 10th Business Day immediately preceding each Settlement Date, each Conduit shall calculate the
aggregate amount of CP Costs (or, as applicable, Discount at the Default Rate) owing to it for the applicable Accrual Period and shall notify the Seller of such aggregate amount. 
  
 Section 2.2. Committed Purchaser Funding. 
  
 (a) Committed Purchaser Funding. Each Receivable Interest of the Committed Purchasers in a Group
shall accrue Discount for each day during its Tranche Period at the LIBOR Rate, the Base Rate or, from and after the occurrence of a Servicer Default and during the continuance thereof, the Default Rate in accordance with the terms and conditions
hereof. Until the Seller gives notice to the applicable Co-Agent of another Discount Rate in accordance with Section 2.2(c), the initial Discount Rate for any Receivable Interest transferred to the Committed Purchasers in a Conduit Group
pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof, and the new Discount Rate for any Terminating Tranche, shall be the Base Rate and the applicable Tranche Period shall be a period of one Business Day commencing on the day requested in the Purchase Notice
or on the last day of a Terminating Tranche, as applicable. If the Committed Purchasers, if any, in a Group acquire by assignment from the applicable Conduit any Receivable Interest pursuant to a Liquidity Agreement, the applicable Co-Agent shall
promptly notify Seller of such fact and each Receivable Interest so assigned shall each be deemed to have a new Tranche Period commencing on the date of any such assignment. 
  
 (b) Discount Payments. On the Settlement Date for each Receivable Interest of the Committed
Purchasers in a Group, the Seller shall pay to the applicable Co-Agent (for the benefit of such Purchasers) an aggregate amount equal to the accrued and unpaid Discount for the entire Tranche Period of each such Purchaser Interest in accordance with
Section 1.4(b). 
  

 14 

 (c) Selection and Continuation of Tranche Periods. 
  
 (i) With consultation from (and approval by) the applicable
Co-Agent, the Seller shall from time to time request Tranche Periods for the Purchaser Interests of the Committed Purchasers in each Conduit Group, provided that, if at any time the Committed Purchasers in a Group shall have a
Purchaser Interest, the Seller shall always request Tranche Periods such that at least one Tranche Period shall end on each date specified in clause (A) of the definition of Settlement Date. 
  
 (ii) The Seller or the applicable Co-Agent may, effective on
the last day of a Tranche Period (the “Terminating Tranche”) for any Receivable Interest, divide any such Receivable Interest into multiple Receivable Interests or combine any such Receivable Interest with one or more other
Receivable Interests which either have a Terminating Tranche ending on such day or are newly created on such day, provided that in no event may a Receivable Interest of a Conduit be combined with a Receivable Interest of its Committed
Purchasers. 
  
 (d) Committed Purchaser
Discount Rates. Prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Servicer Default, the Seller may select the LIBOR Rate or the Base Rate for each Receivable Interest of the Committed Purchasers in any Group. The Seller shall by 11:00 a.m. (Chicago
time): (i) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the expiration of any Terminating Tranche with respect to which the LIBOR Rate is being requested as a new Discount Rate and (ii) at least one (1) Business Day prior to the expiration of any
Terminating Tranche with respect to which the Base Rate is being requested as a new Discount Rate, give the applicable Co-Agent irrevocable notice of the new Discount Rate for the Purchaser Interest associated with such Terminating Tranche. From and
after the occurrence of a Servicer Default and during the continuance thereof, all Purchaser Interests shall accrue Discount at the Default Rate. 
  
 (e) Suspension of the LIBOR Rate. If any Committed Purchaser notifies its Co-Agent that it has determined that funding its Pro Rata
Share of the Purchaser Interests of the Committed Purchasers in such Group at a LIBOR Rate would violate any applicable law, rule, regulation, or directive of any governmental or regulatory authority, whether or not having the force of law, or that
(i) deposits of a type and maturity appropriate to match fund its Receivable Interests at such LIBOR Rate are not available or (ii) such LIBOR Rate does not accurately reflect the cost of acquiring or maintaining a Receivable Interest at such LIBOR
Rate, then such Co-Agent shall suspend the availability of such LIBOR Rate from its Group and require the Seller to select the Base Rate for any Receivable Interest of the Committed Purchasers in its Group that has been accruing Discount at such
LIBOR Rate. 
  
 (f) Calculation of
Discount. On the 10th Business Day immediately preceding each Settlement Date for each Receivable Interest of the Committed Purchasers in a Group, the applicable Co-Agent shall calculate the aggregate 

  

 15 

 
amount of Discount for the applicable Tranche Period and shall notify the Seller of such aggregate amount, if any. 
  
 (g) Liquidity Agreement Fundings. The parties hereto
acknowledge that each of the Conduits may assign all or any portion of its Purchaser Interests to the Committed Purchasers in its Group at any time pursuant to the applicable Liquidity Agreement to finance or refinance the necessary portion of its
Purchaser Interests through a funding under such Liquidity Agreement to the extent available. The fundings under the Liquidity Agreements will accrue Discount in accordance with this Section 2.2. Regardless of whether a funding of Purchaser
Interests by the Committed Purchasers in a Group constitutes the direct purchase of a Purchaser Interest hereunder, an assignment under a Liquidity Agreement of a Purchaser Interest originally funded by a Conduit or the sale of one or more
participations or other interests under a Liquidity Agreement in such a Purchaser Interest, each Committed Purchaser participating in a funding of a Purchaser Interest pursuant to a Liquidity Agreement shall have the rights and obligations of a
“Purchaser” hereunder with the same force and effect as if it had directly purchased such Purchaser Interest directly from Seller hereunder. 
  
 ARTICLE III

 Section 3.1. Seller Representations and

such individual’s appointment as an Independent Director or at any time thereafter while serving as an Independent Director, of five percent (5%) of the outstanding common shares of Yellow Roadway Corporation having general voting rights;
provided, however, that a director who otherwise meets the description of Independent Director as set forth herein shall not be disqualified from serving as an Independent Director of the Seller if he or she is also a director of
another corporation that is an Affiliate of Yellow Roadway Corporation with a certificate of incorporation substantially similar to the certificate of incorporation of the Seller; 
  
 (vii) observe all corporate formalities as a distinct entity, and ensure that all corporate actions relating
to (A) the selection, maintenance or replacement of the Independent Directors, (B) the dissolution or liquidation of the Seller or (C) the initiation of participation in, acquiescence in or consent to any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or
similar proceeding involving the Seller, are duly authorized by unanimous vote of its Board of Directors (including the Independent Directors);

assets rather than assets of an Originator;

and Exchange Commission or any other governmental agency have notes clearly stating that the Seller is a separate corporate entity and that its assets will be available first and foremost to satisfy the claims of the creditors of the Seller;

  
 (x) except as herein specifically otherwise
provided, not commingle funds or other assets of the Seller with those of the Originators and not maintain bank accounts or other depository accounts to which any Originator is an account party, into which any Originator makes deposits or from which
any Originator has the power to make withdrawals; 
  

 26 

 (xi) pay its own expenses and debts out of its own funds, to the extent sufficient funds
are lawfully available, and in any event, not permit any Originator to pay any of the Seller’s operating expenses (except pursuant to allocation arrangements that comply with the requirements of this Section 5.1(k) or to pay any debt of
Seller); 
  
 (xii) not permit the Seller to be
named as an insured on the insurance policy covering the property of any Originator or enter into an agreement with the holder of such policy whereby in the event of a loss in connection with such property, proceeds are paid to the Seller; and

  
 (xiii) take such other actions as are
necessary on its part to ensure that the facts and assumptions set forth in the opinion issued by Fulbright & Jaworski L.L.P., as counsel for the Seller, in connection with the closing or initial Credit Event under this Agreement and relating to
substantive consolidation issues, and in the certificates accompanying such opinion, remain true and correct in all material respects at all times. 
  
 (l) Collections. The Seller shall instruct all Obligors, or cause the Originators to instruct, all Obligors to pay all Collections directly to a
segregated lock-box or other Collection Account listed on Exhibit III, each of which is subject to a Collection Account Agreement. In the case of payments remitted to any such lock-box, the Seller shall cause all proceeds from such lock-box to be
deposited directly by a Collection Bank into a Collection Account listed on Exhibit III, which is subject to a Collection Account Agreement. The Seller shall maintain exclusive dominion and control (subject to the terms of this Agreement) to each
such Collection Account. In the case of any Collections received by the Seller or any Originator, the Seller shall remit (or shall cause such Originator to remit) such Collections to a Collection Account not later than the Business Day immediately
following the date of receipt of such Collections, and, at all times prior to such remittance, the Seller shall itself hold (or, if applicable, shall cause such Originator to hold) such Collections in trust, for the exclusive benefit of the
Purchasers and the Agents. In the case of any remittances received by the Seller in any such Collection Account that shall have been identified, to the satisfaction of the Servicer, to not constitute Collections or other proceeds of the Receivables
or the Related Security, the Seller shall promptly remit such items to the Person identified to it as being the owner of such remittances. From and after the date the Administrative Agent (at the direction of any Co-Agent) delivers to any of the
Collection Banks a Collection Notice pursuant to Section 6.3, any Agent may request that the Seller, and the Seller thereupon promptly shall and shall direct the Originators to, direct all Obligors on Receivables to remit all payments thereon
to a new depositary account (the “New Concentration Account”) specified by the Administrative Agent and, at all times thereafter the Seller shall not deposit or otherwise credit, and shall not permit any Originator or any
other Person to deposit or otherwise credit to the New Concentration Account any cash or payment item other than Collections. Alternatively, the Administrative Agent may request that the Seller, and the Seller thereupon promptly shall, direct all
Persons then making remittances to any Collection Account listed on Exhibit III which remittances are not payments on Receivables to deliver such remittances to a location other than an account listed on Exhibit III. 
  

 27 

 (m) Minimum Net Worth. The Seller shall at all times maintain total assets which exceed its total
liabilities by not less than 3% of the Purchase Limit at such time.

Account or Collection Bank, unless the Administrative Agent shall have received, at least fifteen (15) Business Days before the proposed effective date therefor: 
  
 (i) written notice of such addition, termination or change, and 
  
 (ii) with respect to the addition of a lock-box, Collection
Account or Collection Bank, an executed account agreement and an executed Collection Account Agreement from such Collection Bank relating thereto; 
  
 provided, however, that the Seller may make changes in instructions to Obligors regarding payments if such new instructions require such Obligor to make
payments to another existing lock-box or Collection Account that is subject to a Collection Account Agreement then in effect. 
  
 (c) Modifications to Invoices and Credit and Collection Policy. The Seller will not make any change to the Credit and Collection Policy which would
be reasonably likely to adversely affect the collectibility of any material portion of the Receivables or decrease the credit quality of any newly created Receivables. Except as provided in Section 6.2(c), the Seller, acting as Servicer or
otherwise, will not extend, amend or otherwise modify the terms of any Receivable or any Invoice related thereto other than in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy. 
  
 (d) Sales, Liens, Etc. The Seller shall not sell, assign (by operation of law or otherwise) or otherwise dispose of,

respect to any Invoice under which any Receivable arises, or any lock-box or Collection Account or assign any right to receive income in respect thereof (other than, in each case, the creation of the interests therein in favor of the Administrative
Agent and the Purchasers provided for herein), and the Seller shall defend the right, title and interest of the Agents and the Purchasers in, to and under 

  

 28 

 
any of the foregoing property, against all claims of third parties claiming through or under the Seller or any Originator.

instruments for deposit or collection or similar transactions in the ordinary course of business,

“Subordinated Loan” under the Sale Agreement, the obligations of the Seller in connection therewith shall be subordinated to the obligations of the Seller to the Purchasers and the Agents under this Agreement, on such terms as shall be
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Seller shall not pay any debt or expense of any Originator and shall not hold itself or its credit out as being available to pay, and shall not guarantee or secure with Seller’s assets the payment of,

the assets of, any Person.

 (c) Without the prior written consent of each of the Co-Agents of the Conduit Groups, (i) the Seller shall not be permitted to delegate any of its duties or responsibilities as Servicer to any Person other than each
Originator, and then such delegation shall be limited to the activities of Servicer hereunder as the same may relate to the Receivables originated by such Originator, and (ii) no Originator shall be permitted to further delegate to any other Person
any of the duties or responsibilities of the Servicer delegated to it by the Seller. If at any time the Co-Agents of the Conduit Groups shall designate as Servicer any Person other than the Seller, all duties and responsibilities theretofore
delegated by the Seller to the Originators may, at the discretion of the Co-Agents of the Conduit Groups, be terminated forthwith on notice given by such Co-Agents to the Seller. 
  
 Section 6.2. Duties of Servicer. 
  
 (a) The Servicer shall take or cause to be taken all such actions as may be necessary or advisable to collect each
Receivable from time to time, all in accordance with 

  

 30 

 
applicable laws, rules and regulations, with reasonable care and diligence, and in accordance with the applicable Invoices and the Credit and Collection
Policy. 
  
 (b) The Servicer shall administer the Collections in
accordance with the procedures described herein and in Article I. The Servicer shall set aside and hold in trust for the account of the Seller and the Purchasers their respective shares of the Collections of Receivables in accordance with Section
1.4. The Servicer shall upon the request of the Administrative Agent after the occurrence of the Amortization Date, segregate, in a manner acceptable to the Administrative Agent, all cash, checks and other instruments received by it from time to
time constituting Collections from the general funds of the Servicer or the Seller prior to the remittance thereof in accordance with Section 1.4. If the Servicer shall be required to segregate Collections pursuant to the preceding sentence,
the Servicer shall segregate and deposit with a bank designated by the Administrative Agent such allocable share of Collections of Receivables set aside for the Purchasers on the first Business Day following receipt by the Servicer of such
Collections, duly endorsed or with duly executed instruments of transfer. 
  
 (c) The Servicer, may, in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy, extend the maturity of any Receivable or adjust the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable as the Servicer may determine to be appropriate to
maximize Collections thereof; provided, however, that such extension or adjustment shall not alter the status of such Receivable as a Delinquent Receivable or Defaulted Receivable or limit the rights of the Agents or the Purchasers
under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, from and after the occurrence of a Servicer Default, the Co-Agents shall have the absolute and unlimited right to direct the Servicer to commence or settle any legal
action with respect to any Receivable or to foreclose upon or repossess any Related Security. 
  
 (d) The Servicer shall hold in trust for the Seller and the Purchasers, in accordance with their respective interests in the Receivables, all Records that evidence or relate to the Receivables, the related Invoices
and Related Security or that are otherwise necessary or desirable to collect the Receivables and shall, as soon as practicable upon demand of the Administrative Agent, deliver or make available to the Administrative Agent all such Records, (x) if
such demand is made at any time prior to the replacement of the Seller as Servicer hereunder, at the chief executive office of each Originator and (y) if such demand is made at any time after the replacement of the Seller as Servicer hereunder, to
such location as the Administrative Agent may designate in writing. The Servicer shall, as soon as practicable following receipt thereof, turn over to the Seller (i) that portion of Collections of Receivables representing the Seller’s undivided
fractional ownership interest therein, less, in the event the Seller is not the Servicer, all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Servicer of servicing, administering and collecting the Receivables, and (ii) any cash collections or
other cash proceeds received with respect to indebtedness not constituting Receivables. The Servicer shall, from time to time at the request of any Purchaser, furnish to the Purchasers (promptly after any such request) a calculation of the amounts
set aside for the Purchasers pursuant to Section 1.4. 
  
 (e) Any payment by an Obligor in respect of any indebtedness owed by it to the Seller shall, except as otherwise specified by such Obligor or otherwise required by contract or law and unless otherwise instructed by the Administrative Agent,
be applied as a Collection of 

  

 31 

 
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 obligation of such Obligor. 
  
 Section 6.3. Collection Notices. The Administrative Agent is authorized at any time to date and to deliver to the Collection Banks a Collection Notice under any Collection Account Agreement. The Seller hereby transfers to the
Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Groups, effective when the Administrative Agent (at the direction of any Co-Agent) delivers such notice, the exclusive ownership and control of the Collection Accounts. In case any authorized signatory of
the Seller whose signature appears on a Collection Account Agreement shall cease to have such authority before the delivery of such notice, such Collection Notice shall nevertheless be valid as if such authority had remained in force. The Seller
hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent, and agrees that the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to (i) endorse the Seller’s name on checks and other instruments representing Collections, (ii) enforce the Receivables, the related Invoices
and the Related Security and (iii) take such action as shall be necessary or desirable to cause all cash, checks and other instruments constituting Collections of Receivables to come into the possession of the Administrative Agent rather than the
Seller. 
  
 Section 6.4. Responsibilities of the Seller.
Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the exercise by the Agents and the Purchasers of their rights hereunder shall not release the Servicer or the Seller from any of their duties or obligations with respect to any Receivables or under
the related Invoices. The Purchasers shall have no obligation or liability with respect to any Receivables or related Invoices, nor shall any of them be obligated to perform the obligations of the Seller. 
  
 Section 6.5. Reports. On the 15th day of each month (or, if such date
is not a Business Day, the next following Business Day), and at such other times as any Agent shall request, the Servicer shall prepare and forward to the Agents a Monthly Report. Promptly following any request therefor by any Agent, the Seller
shall prepare and provide to the Agents a listing by Obligor of all Receivables together with an aging of such Receivables.

 ARTICLE VIII 
 INDEMNIFICATION 
  

Section 8.1. Indemnities by the Seller. Without limiting any other rights which any Agent, the LC Issuer or any Purchaser may have hereunder or
under applicable law, the Seller hereby agrees to indemnify the LC Issuer, the Agents and the Purchasers and their respective officers, directors, agents and employees (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and
all damages, losses, claims, taxes, liabilities, costs, expenses and for all other amounts payable, including reasonable attorneys’ fees (which attorneys may be employees of the LC Issuer, an Agent or such Purchaser) and disbursements (all of
the foregoing being 

  

 34 

 
collectively referred to as “Indemnified Amounts”) awarded against or incurred by any of them arising out of or as a result of this
Agreement or the acquisition, either directly or indirectly, by a Purchaser of an interest in the Receivables, excluding, however:

gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Indemnified Party seeking indemnification; 
  
 (b) Indemnified Amounts to the extent the same includes losses in respect of Receivables which are uncollectible on account of the
insolvency, bankruptcy or lack of creditworthiness of the related Obligor;

 (d) Indemnified Amounts arising from the LC Issuer’s failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it of a request strictly complying with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit;

  
 provided, however, that nothing contained in this sentence shall
limit the liability of the Seller or the Servicer or limit the recourse of the Agents, the LC Issuer or the Purchasers to the Seller or Servicer for amounts otherwise specifically provided to be paid by the Seller or the Servicer under the terms of
this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing indemnification, the Seller shall indemnify the LC Issuer, the Agents and the Purchasers for Indemnified Amounts (including, without limitation, losses in respect of uncollectible
receivables, regardless of whether reimbursement therefor would constitute recourse to the Seller or the Servicer) relating to or resulting from: 
  
 (i) any representation or warranty made by the Seller, an Originator or the Servicer (or any officers of the Seller, an Originator or the
Servicer) under or in connection with this Agreement, any other Transaction Document, any Monthly Report or any other information or report delivered by the Seller, an Originator or the Servicer pursuant hereto or thereto, which shall have been
false or incorrect when made or deemed made; 
  
 (ii) the failure by the Seller, an Originator or the Servicer to comply with any applicable law, rule or regulation with respect to any Receivable or Invoice related thereto, or the nonconformity of any Receivable or Invoice included

 (v) any dispute, claim, offset or defense (other than discharge in bankruptcy of the Obligor) of any Obligor to the payment of any Receivable (including, without limitation, a defense based on such Receivable or the
related Invoice 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 the sale of the merchandise or service related to such Receivable or the
furnishing or failure to furnish such merchandise or services; 
  
 (vi) the commingling of Collections of Receivables at any time with other funds; 
  
 (vii) any investigation, litigation or proceeding related to or arising from this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, the use of the proceeds of a purchase, the ownership of the Receivable Interests or any other investigation, litigation or proceeding relating to the Seller or an Originator in which any Indemnified Party
becomes involved as a result of any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby; 
  
 (viii) any inability to litigate any claim against any Obligor in respect of any Receivable as a result of such Obligor being immune from
civil and commercial law and suit on the grounds of sovereignty or otherwise from any legal action, suit or proceeding; 
  
 (ix) a Servicer Default described in Section 7.1(c); 
  
 (x) the failure to vest and maintain vested in the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Purchasers,
or to transfer to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers, legal and equitable title to, and ownership of, a perfected undivided percentage ownership interest (to the extent of the Purchaser Interests contemplated hereunder) in
the Receivables, the Related Security and the Collections, free and clear of any Adverse Claim, or the failure to vest and maintain vested in the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the LC Issuer and the Purchasers, a first priority perfected
security interest in the Receivables, the Related Security and the Collections; 
  
 (xi) any failure of the Seller to give reasonably equivalent value to the applicable Originator under the Sale Agreement in consideration
of the transfer by such Originator of any Receivable, or any attempt by any Person to void any such transfer under statutory provisions or common law or equitable action, including, without limitation, any provision of the Bankruptcy Code; or

  
 (xii) the LC Issuer’s issuance of any
Letter of Credit which specifies that the term “Beneficiary” included therein includes any successor by operation of law of the named Beneficiary, but which Letter of Credit does not require that any drawing by any such successor
Beneficiary be accompanied by a copy of a legal 

  

 36 

 
document, satisfactory to the LC Issuer, evidencing the appointment of such successor Beneficiary. 
  
 Section 8.2. Increased Cost and Reduced Return. 
  
 (a) If after the date hereof, any Funding Source shall be charged any fee,
expense or increased cost on account of the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation (including any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy), any accounting principles or any change therein in any of the foregoing, or
any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), any governmental authority, any central bank or any comparable agency charged with the interpretation or
administration thereof, or compliance with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority or agency (a “Regulatory Change”): (i) which subjects any Funding Source to any charge or
withholding on or with respect to any Funding Agreement or a Funding Source’s obligations under a Funding Agreement, or on or with respect to the Receivables, or changes the basis of taxation of payments to any Funding Source of any amounts
payable under any Funding Agreement (except for changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of a Funding Source) or (ii) which imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve, assessment, insurance charge, special deposit or similar
requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of a Funding Source, or credit extended by a Funding Source pursuant to a Funding Agreement or (iii) which imposes any other condition the result of which is to increase the cost to a
Funding Source of performing its obligations under a Funding Agreement, or to reduce the rate of return on a Funding Source’s capital as a consequence of its obligations under a Funding Agreement, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or
receivable by a Funding Source under a Funding Agreement or to require any payment calculated by reference to the amount of interests or loans held or interest received by it, then, upon demand by the applicable Co-Agent, the Seller shall pay to
such Co-Agent, for the benefit of the relevant Funding Source, such amounts charged to such Funding Source or compensate such Funding Source for such reduction. For the avoidance of doubt, if FASB Interpretation No. 46, or any other change in
accounting standards or the issuance of any other pronouncement, release or interpretation, causes or requires the consolidation of all or a portion of the assets and liabilities of any Conduit or the Seller with the assets and liabilities of any
Agent, any Person or any other Funding Source, such event shall constitute a circumstance on which such Funding Source may base a claim for reimbursement under this Section. 
  
 (b) Payment of any sum pursuant to Section 8.2(a) shall be made by the Seller to the applicable Co-Agent, for the
benefit of the relevant Funding Source, not later than ten (10) days after any such demand is made. A certificate of any Funding Source, signed by an authorized officer claiming compensation under this Section 8.2 and setting forth the
additional amount to be paid for its benefit and explaining the manner in which such amount was determined shall be conclusive evidence of the amount to be paid, absent manifest error. 
  
 Section 8.3. Costs and Expenses Relating to this Agreement. The Seller shall pay to the Agents and the LC Issuer, on
demand, all reasonable costs and out-of-pocket expenses in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby and the other documents to be delivered hereunder, including
without limitation, the reasonable cost of the Agents’ auditor auditing the books, records and 

  

 37 

 
procedures of the Seller, reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of legal counsel for the Agents, the LC Issuer and the Purchasers (which such counsel
may be employees of an Agent, the LC Issuer or a Purchaser) with respect thereto and with respect to advising the Agents, the LC Issuer and the Purchasers as to their respective rights and remedies under this Agreement. The Seller shall pay to the
Agents and the LC Issuer, on demand, any and all reasonable costs and expenses of the Agents, the LC Issuer and the Purchasers, if any, including reasonable counsel fees and expenses in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement and the other
documents delivered hereunder and in connection with any restructuring or workout of this Agreement or such documents, or the administration of this Agreement following a Servicer Default.

financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Seller, the Servicer and the Originators. The Agents, the Purchasers, the LC Issuer and their respective Affiliates, shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any party to this
Agreement with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, prospects, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Seller, the Servicer and the Originators which may come into the possession of such
Person or any of its respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates, except that each of the Agents shall promptly distribute to the LC Issuer, the other Agents and the Purchasers, copies of financial and other
information expressly provided to it by either of the Seller or the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement. 
  
 Section 9.7. Indemnification of Agents. Each of the Committed Purchasers hereby agrees to indemnify (a) its applicable Co-Agent, (b) the
Administrative Agent, (c) the LC Issuer, and (d) the officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents of each of the foregoing (to the extent not reimbursed by the Seller or the Servicer and without limiting the obligation of the Seller or
the Servicer to do so), ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature
whatsoever (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for such Co-Agent, the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuer or such Person in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding
commenced or threatened, whether or not such Co-Agent, the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuer or such Person shall be designated a party thereto) that may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Co-Agent, the Administrative
Agent, the LC Issuer or such Person as a result of, or arising out of, or in any way related to or by reason of, any of the transactions contemplated hereunder or the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement or any other document
furnished in connection herewith (but excluding any such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting solely from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of
such Co-Agent, the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuer or such Person as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction). 
  
 Section 9.8. Agents in their Individual Capacities. Each of the Agents in its individual capacity and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept
deposits from and generally 

  

 41 

 
engage in any kind of business with the Seller, the Servicer, the Originators and their Affiliates as though such Agent were not an Agent hereunder. With
respect to its Receivable Interests, if any, pursuant to this Agreement, each of the Agents shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any Purchaser and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms
“Committed Purchaser,” “Committed Purchasers,” “Purchaser” and “Purchasers” shall include each of the Agents in their individual capacities. 
  
 Section 9.9. UCC Filings. Each of the Co-Agents and the Purchasers hereby expressly recognizes and agrees that the
Administrative Agent may be listed as the assignee or secured party of record on the various UCC filings required to be made under the Transaction Documents in order to perfect their respective interests in the Receivables, the Collections, each
Collection Account and all Related Security, that such listing shall be for administrative convenience only in creating a record or nominee holder to take certain actions hereunder on behalf of the Purchasers and the LC Issuer and that such listing
will not affect in any way the status of the Purchasers and the LC Issuers as the true parties in interest with respect to the collateral covered thereby. In addition, such listing shall impose no duties on the Administrative Agent other than those
expressly and specifically undertaken in accordance with this Article IX. The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Committed Purchasers, hereby appoints the LC Issuer as its agent for purposes of perfecting any security interest in cash collateral
pledged to secure the LC Obligations or any Committed Purchaser’s obligation to participate therein, and the LC Issuer hereby accepts such appointment. 
  
 Section 9.10. Successor Agents. If any Agent or its holding company is merged with or into any other Person, such Agent may, upon five days’
notice to the Seller and the other Agents, assign its rights and obligations hereunder to the survivor of such merger or any of its bank Affiliates, in each case, provided that both Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s Investors
Service, Inc. have approved the proposed assignee or one of its Affiliates as the successor administrator of such Agent’s Conduit. After the effectiveness of any assigning Agent’s assignment hereunder, the assigning Agent shall be
discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents and the provisions of this Article IX and Article VIII shall continue in effect for its benefit with respect to any actions taken or omitted to be taken
by it while it was an Agent under this Agreement and under the other Transaction Documents. 
  
 ARTICLE X 
 ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATIONS 
  
 Section 10.1. Assignments. Subject, in each of the following cases, to
Section 10.3: 
  
 (a) Each of the parties hereby agrees and
consents to the complete or partial assignment by each Conduit of all or any portion of its rights under, interest in, title to and obligations under this Agreement to (i) its Committed Purchasers pursuant to its Liquidity Agreement, and (ii)
another special purpose asset-backed commercial paper issuer administered by a Co-Agent or one of its Affiliates. Upon each such assignment pursuant to this Section 10.1(a), such Conduit shall be released from its obligations so assigned.
Further, each of the other parties hereby agrees that any assignee of a Conduit of this Agreement or all or any of its 

  

 42 

 
Receivable Interests shall have all of the rights and benefits under this Agreement as if references to such Conduit or to a “Purchaser” explicitly
referred to such assignee, and no such assignment shall in any way impair the rights and benefits of such Conduit hereunder. 
  
 (b) Any Committed Purchaser may at any time and from time to time assign to one or more Persons (“Purchasing Committed
Purchasers”) all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to an assignment agreement, in a form and substance satisfactory to the applicable Co-Agent (the “Assignment Agreement”),
executed by such Purchasing Committed Purchaser and such selling Committed Purchaser. The consent of (i) the applicable Conduit and (ii) provided no Servicer Default or Potential Servicer Default exists and is continuing, the Seller (which consent
of the Seller shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), shall be required prior to the effectiveness of any such assignment. Each assignee of a Committed Purchaser must have a short-term debt rating of A-1 or better by Standard &
Poor’s and P-1 by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. and must agree to deliver to the applicable Co-Agent, promptly following any request therefor by such Co-Agent or its Conduit, an enforceability opinion in form and substance satisfactory
to such Co-Agent and Conduit. Upon delivery of the executed Assignment Agreement to the applicable Co-Agent, such selling Committed Purchaser shall be released from its obligations hereunder to the extent of such assignment. Thereafter the
Purchasing Committed Purchaser shall for all purposes be a Committed Purchaser party to this Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Committed Purchaser under this Agreement to the same extent as if it were an original party
hereto and no further consent or action by the Seller, the Purchasers or the Agents shall be required. 
  
 (c) Each of the parties hereby agrees and consents to the complete or partial assignment by USF Assurance of all or any portion of its rights under,
interest in, title to and obligations under this Agreement to any Person to whom the Administrative Agent gives its prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Upon each such assignment pursuant to this
Section 10.1(c), USF Assurance shall be released from its obligations so assigned. Further, each of the other parties hereby agrees that any assignee of USF Assurance of this Agreement or all or any of its Receivable Interests shall have all
of the rights and benefits under this Agreement as if references to USF Assurance or to a “Purchaser” explicitly referred to such assignee. 
  
 (d) The Seller shall not have the right to assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement. 
  
 Section 10.2. Participations. Subject to Section 10.3, any
Committed Purchaser may, in the ordinary course of its business at any time sell to one or more Persons (each, a “Participant”) participating interests in its Pro Rata Share of the Receivable Interests of the Committed
Purchasers or any other interest of such Committed Purchaser hereunder. Notwithstanding any such sale by a Committed Purchaser of a participating interest to a Participant, such Committed Purchaser’s rights and obligations under this Agreement
shall remain unchanged, such Committed Purchaser shall remain solely responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and the Seller, the Conduits and the Agents shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Committed Purchaser
in connection with such Committed Purchaser’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Each Committed Purchaser 

  

 43 

 
agrees that any agreement between such Committed Purchaser and any such Participant in respect of such participating interest shall not restrict such
Committed Purchaser’s right to agree to any amendment, supplement, waiver or modification to this Agreement, except for any amendment, supplement, waiver or modification described in clause (i) of Section 11.1(b). 
  
 Section 10.3. Limitation on USF Assurance Investment. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no Purchaser may assign or sell or transfer any participation in any of its interests hereunder to USF Assurance, and USF Assurance may not assign or sell or transfer any participation in any of its interests hereunder to any other
Purchaser, unless after giving effect to such assignment, sale or transfer, if any Purchaser other than USF Assurance holds a Receivable Interest at such time or will hold a Receivable Interest after giving effect to such assignment, sale or
transfer, the aggregate Capital of the Purchasers other than USF Assurance (which have not been participated to USF Assurance) exceeds 50% of the aggregate Capital of all Purchasers. 
  
 ARTICLE XI 
 MISCELLANEOUS 
  
 Section 11.1. Waivers and
Amendments. 
  
 (a) No failure or delay on the part of any
party hereto in exercising any power, right or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or remedy preclude any other further exercise thereof or the exercise of
any other power, right or remedy. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and nonexclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law. Any waiver of this Agreement shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the
specific purpose for which given. 
  
 (b) Except as set forth in
Section 7.1(h), no provision of this Agreement may be amended, supplemented, modified or waived except in writing in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.1(b). Each of the Co-Agents shall be responsible for determining
what consents, if any, it must obtain from the members of its Group before entering into any amendment, supplement, modification or waiver of the Transaction Documents except that the USFA Group shall not be entitled to vote on any amendment,
supplement, modification or waiver at any time. Neither this Agreement nor any other Transaction Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by
the Seller and the Required Co-Agents or by the Seller and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Co-Agents; provided that no such agreement shall, provided, however, that no such modification or waiver shall:

  
 (i) without the consent of each affected
Purchaser, (A) extend the Stated Liquidity Termination Date or the date of any payment or deposit of Collections by the Seller or the Servicer, (B) reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of Discount (or any component thereof), (C) reduce any
fee payable to any Agent for the benefit of such Purchaser, (D) except pursuant to Article X hereof, change the amount of the Capital of any Purchaser, a Committed Purchaser’s Pro Rata Share 

  

 44 

 
or a Committed Purchaser’s Commitment, (E) amend, modify or waive any provision of the definition of Required Co-Agents or this Section 11.1(b),
(F) consent to or permit the assignment or transfer by the Seller of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, (G) change the definition of “Eligible Receivable,” “Discount Reserve,” “Loss Reserve
Percentage,” “Aggregate Reserve Percentage” or “Default Ratio,” or (H) amend or modify any defined term (or any defined term used directly or indirectly in such defined term) used in clauses (A) through (G) above in a manner
which would circumvent the intention of the restrictions set forth in such clauses; or 
  
 (ii) without the written consent of the applicable Agent, amend, modify or waive any provision of this Agreement if the effect thereof is
to affect the rights or duties of such Agent; or 
  
 (iii) without the written consent of the LC Issuer, amend, modify or waive any provision of this Agreement if the effect thereof is to affect the rights or duties of the LC Issuer. 
  
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of the Seller, the Agents may enter into
amendments to modify any of the terms or provisions of Article IX, Article X (other than provisions requiring the consent of Seller to any assignment) or Section 11.13 provided that such amendment has no negative impact upon the
Seller. Any modification or waiver made in accordance with this Section 11.1 shall apply to each of the Purchasers equally and shall be binding upon the Seller, the LC Issuer, the Servicer, the Purchasers and the Agents. 
  
 Section 11.2. Notices. 
  
 (a) Except as provided in subsection (b) below, all communications and
notices provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including bank wire, telecopy or electronic facsimile transmission or similar writing) and shall be given to the other parties hereto at their respective addresses or telecopy numbers set forth on
the signature pages hereof. All such communications and notices shall, when mailed, telecopied, telegraphed, telexed or cabled, be effective when received through the mails, transmitted by telecopy, delivered to the telegraph company, confirmed by
telex answerback or delivered to the cable company, respectively, except that communications and notices to any of the Agents, the LC Issuer or Purchasers pursuant to Article I shall not be effective until received by the intended recipient.

  
 (b) The Seller hereby authorizes each of the Agents to effect
Purchases and Tranche Period and Discount Rate selections based on telephonic notices made by any Person whom such Agent in good faith believes to be acting on behalf of the Seller. The Seller agrees to deliver promptly to each applicable Agent a
written confirmation of each telephonic notice signed by an authorized officer of the Seller. However, the absence of such confirmation shall not affect the validity of such notice. If the written confirmation differs from the action taken by any
Agent, the records of such Agent shall govern absent manifest error. 
  
 Section 11.3. Ratable Payments. If any Purchaser, whether by setoff or otherwise, has payment made to it with respect to any portion of the Aggregate Unpaids owing to 

  

 45 

 
such Purchaser (other than payments received pursuant to Section 8.2 or 8.3) in a greater proportion than that received by any other Purchaser
entitled to receive a ratable share of such Aggregate Unpaids, such Purchaser agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase for cash without recourse or warranty a portion of the Aggregate Unpaids held by the other Purchasers so that after such purchase
each Purchaser will hold its ratable proportion of the Aggregate Unpaids; provided that if all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from such Purchaser, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price
restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. 
  
 Section 11.4. Protection of Ownership Interests of the Purchasers. 
  
 (a) The Seller agrees that from time to time, at its expense, it will promptly execute and deliver all instruments and documents, and take all actions, that may be necessary or desirable, or that any Agent may
reasonably request, to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the Receivable Interests, or to enable the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Purchasers and the LC Issuer, to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder. The
Administrative Agent may, or the Administrative Agent may direct the Seller to, notify the Obligors of Receivables, at any time following the replacement of the Seller as Servicer and at the Seller’s expense, of the ownership and security
interests of the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Purchasers and the LC Issuer, under this Agreement and may also direct that payments of all amounts due or that become due under any or all Receivables be made directly to the Administrative
Agent or its designee. The Seller shall, at any Purchaser’s or the LC Issuer’s written request, withhold the identity of such Purchaser or the LC Issuer in any such notification. 
  
 (b) If the Seller or the Servicer fails to perform any of its obligations
hereunder, any of the Agents may (but shall not be required to) perform, or cause performance of, such obligation; and such Agent’s costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the Seller (if the Servicer that fails
to so perform is the Seller or an Affiliate thereof) as provided in Section 8.3, as applicable. The Seller and the Servicer each irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent at any time and from time to time in the sole discretion of the
Administrative Agent, and appoints the Administrative Agent as its attorney-in-fact, to act on behalf of the Seller and the Servicer (i) to execute on behalf of the Seller as debtor (if required) and to file financing statements necessary or
desirable in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the interest of the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Purchasers and the LC Issuer, in the Receivables and Related Security
and (ii) to file a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement with respect to the Receivables as a financing statement in such offices as the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion deems necessary or
desirable to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the interests of the Purchasers in the Receivables. This appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable. 
  
 Section 11.5. Confidentiality. 
  
 (a) The Seller shall maintain and shall cause each of its employees and officers to maintain the confidentiality of this
Agreement and the other confidential proprietary information with respect to the Agents and the Conduits and their respective businesses obtained by it or them in connection with the structuring, negotiating and execution of the transactions 

  

 46 

 
contemplated herein, except that the Seller and its officers and employees may disclose such information to the Seller’s external accountants and
attorneys and as required by any applicable law or order of any judicial or administrative proceeding. In addition, the Seller may disclose any such nonpublic information pursuant to any law, rule, regulation, direction, request or order of any
judicial, administrative or regulatory authority or proceedings (whether or not having the force or effect of law). 
  
 (b) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Seller hereby consents to the disclosure of any nonpublic information with respect to it (i) to
the Agents, the LC Issuer or the Purchasers by each other, (ii) by the Agents, the LC Issuer or the Purchasers to any prospective or actual assignee or participant of any of them or (iii) by the Co-Agents to any rating agency, Commercial Paper
dealer or provider of a surety, guaranty or credit or liquidity enhancement to any of the Conduits or any entity organized for the purpose of purchasing, or making loans secured by, financial assets for which any of the Co-Agents acts as the
administrator and to any officers, directors, employees, outside accountants and attorneys of any of the foregoing, provided each such Person is informed of the confidential nature of such information in a manner consistent with the practice of the
applicable Agent for the making of such disclosures generally to Persons of such type. In addition, the Purchasers, the LC Issuer and the Agents may disclose any such nonpublic information pursuant to any law, rule, regulation, direction, request or
order of any judicial, administrative or regulatory authority or proceedings (whether or not having the force or effect of law). 
  
 Section 11.6. Bankruptcy Petition. Each of the Seller, the Agents, the LC Issuer and the Committed Purchasers hereby covenants and agrees that,
prior to the date which is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding senior indebtedness of each of the Conduits, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, such Conduit any bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or other similar proceeding under the laws of the United States or any state of the United States. 
  
 Section 11.7. Limitation of Liability. Except with respect to any claim arising out of the willful misconduct or
gross negligence of any of the Agents, the LC Issuer or the Purchasers, no claim may be made by the Seller, the Servicer or any other Person against any of the Agents, the LC Issuer or Purchasers or their respective Affiliates, directors, officers,
employees, attorneys or agents for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages in respect of any claim for breach of contract or any other theory of liability arising out of or related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement,
or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith; and the Seller hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue upon any claim for any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor. .
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no Conduit shall have any obligation to pay any amount required to be paid by it hereunder in excess of any amount available to it after paying or making provision for the payment in full
of its Commercial Paper. All payment obligations of each Conduit hereunder are contingent on the availability to such Conduit of funds in excess of the amounts necessary to pay in full when due its Commercial Paper; and each of the other parties
hereto agrees that it will not have a claim, as defined under Section 101(5) of the Bankruptcy Code, if and to the extent that any such payment obligation owed to it by such Conduit exceeds the amount available to such Conduit to pay such amount
after paying or making provision for the payment in full of its Commercial Paper; provided 

  

 47 

 
however, that if any Conduit is unable to pay its full portion of the Purchase Price for any Purchaser Interest, such Conduit’s Committed
Purchasers shall make that portion of the applicable Purchase. The provisions of this Section 11.7 will survive termination of this Agreement and payment in full of each Conduit’s Commercial Paper. 
  
 Section 11.8. CHOICE OF LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE
LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (INCLUDING SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW) WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES. 
  
 Section 11.9. CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. EACH OF USF ASSURANCE AND THE SELLER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY
UNITED STATES FEDERAL OR NEW YORK STATE COURT SITTING IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENT EXECUTED BY USF ASSURANCE OR THE SELLER PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT, AND EACH
OF USF ASSURANCE AND THE SELLER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN ANY SUCH COURT AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE AS TO THE VENUE OF ANY
SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT OR THAT SUCH COURT IS AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT OF ANY AGENT OR ANY PURCHASER TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST THE SELLER OR USF ASSURANCE IN THE COURTS OF ANY
OTHER JURISDICTION WHEREIN ANY ASSETS OF THE SELLER, USF ASSURANCE OR ANY ORIGINATOR MAY BE LOCATED. ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING BY THE SELLER OR USF ASSURANCE AGAINST ANY AGENT, THE LC ISSUER OR PURCHASER OR ANY AFFILIATE OF ANY AGENT OR PURCHASER
INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENT EXECUTED BY THE SELLER PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE BROUGHT ONLY IN A COURT IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN,
STATE OF NEW YORK. 
  
 Section 11.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.
EACH OF THE SELLER, THE AGENTS, THE LC ISSUER AND THE PURCHASERS HEREBY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER (WHETHER SOUNDING IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF,
RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH THIS AGREEMENT, ANY DOCUMENT EXECUTED BY THE SELLER PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER. 
  
 Section 11.11. Integration; Survival of Terms. This Agreement, the Sale Agreement, the Collection Account Agreements,
the Liquidity Agreements and the Fee Letters contain 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 

  

 48 

 
understandings. The provisions of Article VIII and Section 11.6 shall survive any termination of this Agreement. 
  
 Section 11.12. Counterparts; Severability. 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. Any
provisions of this Agreement which are prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any
such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Delivery of an executed counterpart via facsimile or electronic mail with a .pdf attachment shall, to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, have the same force and effect as delivery of an executed original counterpart.

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), and (B) a Collection in full of a Receivable if at any time any of the representations or warranties in
Section 3.1 prove to have been untrue when made or deemed made with respect to such Receivable or such Receivable is repurchased by the applicable Originator pursuant to the Sale Agreement upon expiration of a Letter of Credit without any
draw being honored thereunder. The Seller hereby agrees to pay all Deemed Collections immediately to the Servicer for application in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof.
