      THIS AMENDMENT NO. 9 TO
          RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AGREEMENT, dated as of August 31, 2022 (this "Amendment"), is by and among Sensient Receivables LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Seller"), Sensient Technologies Corporation, a Wisconsin corporation ("STC"), as initial Servicer and as the Performance Guarantor, and (c) Wells Fargo Bank, National Association,
        a national banking association (together with its successors and assigns, the "Purchaser").

       

      RECITALS

       

      WHEREAS,

        Seller, the Servicer and the Purchaser are parties to that certain Receivables Purchase Agreement, dated as of October 3, 2016 (as amended prior to the date hereof, the "Existing Purchase Agreement" and, as amended hereby and from time to time hereafter amended, restated or otherwise modified, the "Purchase Agreement"); and

       

      WHEREAS,

        the parties wish to amend the Existing Purchase Agreement as hereinafter set forth;

       

      NOW,
          THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants herein contained, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

       

      1.             Definitions.  Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein are used with the meanings attributed thereto in the Purchase Agreement.

       

      2.           Amendments.  As of the Effective Date (hereinafter defined), the Purchase Agreement is amended in accordance with Exhibit A-1 (Redline) hereto:  (a) by deleting all language which appears in strikethrough text on Exhibit

              A-1 (Redline) and (b) by inserting all language which appears in double-underlined text on Exhibit A-1 (Redline).  For the avoidance
          of doubt, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any prior amendment or amendments to the Purchase Agreement, the Purchase Agreement set forth in Exhibit

              A-1 (Redline) hereto and Exhibit A-2 (Clean) hereto reflect the current agreement of the parties hereto as to all of the terms and
          provisions of the Purchase Agreement as of the Effective Date.

       

      3.          Effect of Amendment.  Except as specifically amended hereby, the Existing Purchase Agreement and all exhibits and schedules attached thereto remains
          unaltered and in full force and effect, and this Amendment shall not constitute a novation of the Purchase Agreement but shall constitute an amendment thereof.  The Performance Undertaking remains unaltered and in full force and effect and is
          hereby ratified and confirmed.

       

      4.            Conditions Precedent.  This Amendment shall become effective on the later to occur of (a) the date hereof, and (b) the Business Day on which each of the
          following conditions precedent has been satisfied (the “Effective Date”):

       

      (i)             Wells shall have received counterparts hereof, duly executed by each of the parties hereto;

       

      
        
          

      

      
      (ii)         Wells shall have received counterparts of the Fifth Amended and Restated Fee Letter of even date herewith duly executed by each of the parties thereto, together with payment in full of the upfront amendment
          fee described in paragraph #1 thereof;

       

      (iii)           Wells shall have received a certificate of the Secretary of the Seller certifying as to the following:

       

      A.         Since October 3, 2016 (the “Closing Date”), there have been no amendments to the Certificate of
          Formation of the Seller, and no such amendment or other document has been authorized by the Board of Directors of Sensient Receivables LLC or by Sensient Colors LLC, the sole member of Sensient Receivables LLC;

       

      B.            As of the Effective Date, the Seller remains in good standing in the State of Delaware;

       

      C.           Since the Closing Date, there have been no amendments to the Seller’s LLC Agreement or, if there have been, attaching a true and correct copy of the LLC Agreement as so amended;

       

      D.           Attached to such certificate are true and correct copies of resolutions (the “Resolutions”) duly
          authorized by the Board of Directors of the Seller by unanimous written consent on August 25, 2022, authorizing the execution and delivery of this Amendment and the increase in the Facility Limit contemplated hereby, which Resolutions remain
          unaltered and in full force and effect as of the Effective Date; and

       

      E.            Attached thereto is a list of certain officers of the Seller who duly hold office on the Effective Date and are authorized on behalf of the Seller to execute this Amendment and the other documents, reports
          and notices pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, and the signature (or copy thereof) set forth beside each person’s name is genuine.

       

      (iv)          Each of the representations and warranties contained in Section 5 of this Amendment shall be true and correct as of the Effective Date; and

       

      (v)          Payment in full of all reimbursable legal fees and disbursements of the Purchaser’s counsel in connection with the Transaction Documents and this Amendment for which the Seller has been invoiced by Wells.

       

      5.            Representations and Warranties.  After giving effect to this Amendment, each of the Performance Guarantor, Seller and the Servicer hereby represents and
          warrants to the Purchaser that each of the representations and warranties made by it or on its behalf in the Purchase Agreement or the Performance Undertaking, as applicable, are true and correct, in all material respects, on and as of the date
          of this Amendment with the same full force and effect as if each of such representations and warranties had been made by it on the date hereof and in this Amendment (except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate to an
          earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties remain true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date), and the Performance Undertaking is hereby ratified and confirmed.  The representations and warranties set
          forth above shall survive the execution of this Amendment.

       

      
        2

        
          

      

      6.            CHOICE OF LAW.  THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE PRINCIPLES
          OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS THEREOF OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW.

       

      7.             CONSENT TO JURISDICTION.  EACH PARTY TO THIS AMENDMENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY UNITED STATES FEDERAL OR NEW
          YORK STATE COURT SITTING IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK, IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AMENDMENT OR THE AGREEMENT, AND EACH SUCH PARTY 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.

       

      8.          WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  EACH PARTY HERETO 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 AMENDMENT, THE PURCHASE AGREEMENT OR THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER.

       

      9.             Binding Effect. Upon execution and delivery of a counterpart hereof by each of the parties hereto, and the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set
          forth in Section 5 hereof, this Amendment shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns (including any trustee in bankruptcy).

       

      10.           Legal Fees.  In addition to its obligations under the Purchase Agreement, Seller agrees to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by
          the Purchaser, in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of this Amendment within 30 days after receipt of a reasonably detailed invoice therefor.

       

      11.          Counterparts; Severability; Section References.  This Amendment 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 Amendment. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Amendment by
          facsimile, PDF, or other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of a signature page to this Amendment.  Any provisions of this Amendment 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.

       

      <Signature pages follow>

      RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AGREEMENT

      

      

      THIS RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AGREEMENT dated as of October 3, 2016, is among:

       

      (a)          Sensient

            Receivables LLC, a Delaware Limited liability company (“Seller”),

       

      (b)          Sensient

      (c)          Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, a national banking association (together with its successors and assigns, the “Purchaser”).

       

      Unless defined elsewhere herein, capitalized terms used in this
          Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in Exhibit I or, if not defined therein, the meanings assigned thereto in the  Sale Agreement (hereinafter defined).

       

      PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS

      (2)          On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, the Purchaser desires to acquire undivided interests in the Receivables from Seller from time to time.

       

           NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

       

      ARTICLE I

      THE PURCHASE FACILITY

      

      

       Section 1.1          Conversion of Purchaser’s Existing 100% Ownership Interest in the Purchased Assets into Undivided Interests. At the
          opening of business on the Second Amendment Effective Date, the Purchaser and Seller hereby agree that the Purchaser’s existing ownership of 100% of the Purchased Assets and its existing non-recourse obligation to pay Seller deferred purchase
          price therefor shall automatically convert into Undivided Interests in the Purchased Assets with an aggregate outstanding Capital balance equal to $60,000,000, and any deferred purchase price obligation shall be reduced to $0.

       

      Section 1.2            Purchased Assets.

       

       (a)         Purchase and Sale of Undivided Interests. On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, on the Closing Date: (i) Seller hereby sells,
            conveys, transfers and assigns to the Purchaser, a variable undivided percentage interest (each such interest, an “Undivided Interest”) equal to the
            Purchased Assets Coverage Percentage in all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the following: (A) all Receivables existing as of the close  of business on the Business Day prior to the  Closing Date or thereafter arising from time
            to time prior to the Facility Termination Date, and all rights and payments relating thereto, (B) all Related Security relating thereto, whether existing on the Business
            Day prior to the Closing Date or thereafter arising from time to time prior to the Facility Termination Date, (C) all Collections thereof, whether existing on the last day of the month then most recently ended or thereafter arising, (D) each
            Lock-Box and each Lock-Box Account, whether existing on the Closing Date or thereafter arising, and (E) all existing and future proceeds of any of the foregoing (all of the foregoing, collectively, the “Purchased Assets”), and (ii) the Purchaser hereby purchases such Undivided Interests in the Purchased Assets and agrees to pay the purchase price therefor in cash (each, a “Cash Investment”).

       

          

      
        
          	
                  
                    1

                    

                     

                      

                    Receivables Purchase Agreement

                  

                

        

        
          

      

       (b)        Obligations Not Assumed. The foregoing sale, assignment and transfer does not constitute and is not intended to result in any assumption by the Purchaser of
            any obligation of Seller, any Originator or any other Person under or in connection with the Receivables or any Related Security, all of which shall remain the obligations and liabilities of Seller, such Originator and/or such other Person, as
            applicable.

       

       
       (c)          Not more than one (1) time after October 1, 2021, provided that no Amortization Event or Potential Amortization Event exists and is continuing, Seller (or the Servicer, on
              Seller’s behalf) may, by written notice to the Purchaser, request an increase in the Commitment and the Facility Limit in an amount not to exceed $35,000,000. Upon receipt of such request, the Purchaser agrees to promptly seek credit approval
              to increase the Commitment and the Facility Limit in an amount equal the increase requested (such occurrence, an “Increase Event”); provided, however, that nothing herein shall be deemed to constitute a commitment by the Purchaser to provide,
              or to obtain credit approval to provide, any portion of the requested increase. If the Purchaser notifies the Seller Parties that it has obtained credit approval for all or any portion of the requested increase, the Commitment and the
              Facility Limit will automatically increase by the approved amount of the requested increase on the first Business Day of the next Calculation Period following delivery to the Seller Parties of written notice of such credit approval.

       

       Section 1.3          Cash Investments.

       

       (a)          On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, from time to time prior to the Facility Termination Date: (i) Seller may request that the Purchaser make Cash Investments in Undivided Interests in the Purchased
            Assets in accordance with Section 1.3(b), and (ii) the Purchaser hereby agrees to make such Cash Investments by wiring the applicable funds to the Facility Account; provided that under no circumstances shall the Purchaser make any Cash Investment if, after giving effect thereto, an Investment Excess would exist and be continuing.

       

       (b)          The initial request for a Cash Investment hereunder, and each subsequent request for an incremental Cash Investment, may be made on any Business Day prior to the Facility Termination Date upon (i) Seller’s irrevocable written notice in
            the form of Exhibit II-A hereto (each, a “Cash Investment Notice”) to and received by the Purchaser prior to 12:00 noon (New York time) on the
            requested Investment Date, specifying: (A) the amount of cash requested to be paid to Seller for such incremental Cash Investment (which shall not be less than US$500,000 or a larger integral multiple of US$100,000), (B) the requested date of
            such incremental Cash Investment (which shall be a Business Day) and (C) the pro forma calculation of the Purchased Assets Coverage Percentage after giving effect to the increase in the Capital outstanding, and (ii) confirmation of the amount of cash requested in the Cash Investment Notice by entering such amount the Purchaser’s electronic “C.E.O.” portal. If any Cash Investment Notice is received or confirmed
            after 12:00 noon (New York time) on a Business Day, the

       

          

      
        
          	
                  
                    -2-

                    

                     

                      

                    Receivables Purchase Agreement

                  

                

        

        
          

      

      Purchaser will endeavor to honor such notice on that Business Day but will honor it not later than the next succeeding Business Day.

       

       Section 1.4          Voluntary Reductions. If at any time Seller shall wish to cause the reduction of Capital (but not to commence the
          liquidation, or reduction to zero, of the entire Capital), Seller may do so as follows:

       

       (a)         Seller shall provide the Purchaser and the Servicer with irrevocable prior written notice in the form of Exhibit II-B hereto (each, a “Reduction
              Notice”) of any proposed reduction of Capital not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the Business Day on which the proposed reduction is to occur (the “Proposed Reduction Date”). Such Reduction Notice shall (i) be prepared in accordance with the most recent Servicer Report, and (ii) designate (A) the Proposed Reduction Date, and (B) the amount of Capital to be
            reduced (the “Capital Reduction”) which shall be not less than US$500,000; and

       

       (b)         The Servicer shall cause Collections in excess of the Required Amounts to be set aside until they equal the desired amount of Capital Reduction, and on the Proposed Reduction Date, the Servicer shall wire transfer the funds so set
            aside to the Purchaser’s Account for application to the outstanding Capital.

       

      
         (c)          Only one (1) Reduction Notice shall be outstanding at any time.

      

       

      Section 1.5           Mandatory Reductions.

       

       (a)        Purchased Assets Coverage Percentage Computation. The Purchased Assets Coverage Percentage shall be initially computed on the Closing Date. Thereafter,
            until the Facility Termination Date, such Purchased Assets Coverage Percentage shall be automatically deemed recomputed on each Business Day other than a Termination Day. From and after the occurrence of any Termination Day, the Purchased
            Assets Coverage Percentage shall (until the event(s) giving rise to such Termination Day are satisfied or are waived in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) be deemed to be 100%. The Purchased Assets Coverage Percentage shall become
            zero when the Final Payout Date has occurred and the Servicer shall have received the accrued Servicing Fee thereon. If on any date of determination, the Purchased Asset Coverage Percentage exceeds 100%, not later than the next Business Day,
            Seller shall deliver to the Servicer, and the Servicer shall pay to the Purchaser’s Account, the amount necessary to reduce the Purchased Asset Coverage Percentage to 100% or less, and the Purchaser will apply the funds received to the
            reduction of Capital.

       

       (b)          Deemed Collections. If on any day a Dilution occurs, Seller shall be deemed to have received a Deemed Collection and such Deemed Collection shall be
            immediately applied to reduce the Net Pool Balance by the amount of such Deemed Collection. To the extent the effect of such Deemed Collection on the Net Pool Balance shall cause an Investment Excess, Seller shall deliver to the Servicer
            immediately available funds in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the sum of all Deemed Collections deemed received by Seller and (ii) an amount necessary to eliminate such Investment Excess, and in each case, the Servicer shall remit the
            same to the Purchaser’s Account pursuant to this Section 1.5(b) within one (1) Business Day after its receipt thereof, and the Purchaser will apply the funds received to the reduction of Capital.

       Section 1.6         Amount of Collections.   Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, failure to have sufficient Collections to make any payment due
            and payable hereunder shall in no event defer the due date of such payment, and Seller shall remain obligated for the amount of such deficiency.

       

       Section 1.7          Payment Requirements. All payments in respect of Capital shall be paid to the Purchaser’s Account. One or more Seller Parties shall initiate a wire
            transfer of amounts to be paid or deposited by it pursuant to any provision of this Agreement no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the day when due in immediately available funds. If such amounts are payable to the Purchaser, they
            shall be paid to the Purchaser’s Account. All computations of Discount and per annum Fees under the Transaction Documents shall be made on the basis
            of a year consisting of three hundred sixty (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 1.8           Fees. Seller shall pay to the Purchaser the Fees when and as  required  in accordance with the Fee Letter.

      

      

       Section 1.9         Discount. The Capital shall accrue Discount for each  day  at  the  applicable Discount Rate. On each Payment Date, Seller shall pay in arrears
            to the Purchaser an aggregate amount equal to the accrued and unpaid Discount on its Capital for each day during the Calculation Period (or portion thereof) then most recently ended.

       

       Section 1.10         Voluntary Reductions of the Commitment; Optional Repurchase.

       

      (a)          Seller may, upon at least five (5) Business Days’ notice to the Purchaser, terminate in whole or reduce in part, the unused portion of the Commitment; provided that each partial reduction of the Commitment shall be in a minimum amount of US$1,000,000 or a larger integral multiple of US$100,000.

       

      
        (b)          In addition, at any time, Seller shall have the right (after providing at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Purchaser) to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Undivided Interests in the
              Purchased Assets. The purchase price in respect thereof shall be an amount equal to the Aggregate Unpaids through the date of such purchase, payable in immediately available funds. Such purchase shall be without representation, warranty or
              recourse of any kind by, on the part of, or against the Purchaser except for a representation and warranty that the conveyance to the Servicer is being made free and clear of any Lien created by the Purchaser. On the date of purchase of all
              Undivided Interests in the Purchased Assets by the Servicer pursuant to this Section, the Commitment of the Purchaser shall automatically terminate. 

      

       

       Section 1.11         Intent of the Parties. The parties to this Agreement intend that the sale, assignment and transfer of Undivided Interests in the Purchased Assets to the
            Purchaser shall be treated as an interest-bearing loan in an amount equal to the aggregate Capital secured by the Purchased Assets for all purposes including federal, state and local income and franchise tax (in the nature of income tax)
            purposes. The provisions of this Agreement and all related Transaction Documents shall be construed to further these intentions of the parties.

       Section 1.12         Designated Funding Offices. The Purchaser at its option may make any Cash Investment or otherwise perform its obligations hereunder through any Funding
            Office (each, a “Designated Funding Office”); provided that

            any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Seller Parties to turn over Collections in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Any Designated Funding Office shall be considered part of the Purchaser; provided that such provisions that would be applicable with respect to Cash Investments actually provided by such Affiliate or branch of the Purchaser
            shall apply to such Affiliate or branch of the Purchaser to the same extent as the Purchaser.

            Account for distribution and application in the following order of priority:

       

      first, to the Servicer, in payment of its Servicing Fee to the extent not retained;

       

      second, to the Purchaser, in payment of its out-of-pocket expenses in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, to the extent reimbursable
          under Section 8.48.5 and not
          otherwise paid by Seller;

       

      third, to the Purchaser, in payment of any accrued and unpaid Discount then due and owing on account of its Capital, including any previously accrued Discount that was not previously paid;

      Section 3.1            Representations   and   Warranties of Seller.Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser
            as of the date hereof and as of each Investment Date that:

       

      
        
          	
                  
                    -6-

                    

                     

                      

                    Receivables Purchase Agreement

                  

                

        

        
          

      

      (a)         Existence and Power. Seller is a limited liability company duly  organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware,
            and is duly licensed or qualified to transact business in all jurisdictions where the character of the property owned or leased or the nature of the business transacted by them makes such licensing or qualification necessary, except where the
            failure to be so licensed or qualified (a) will not permanently preclude Seller or Servicer from maintaining any material action in any such jurisdiction even though such action arose in whole or in part during the period of such failure, and
            (b) will not result in any other Material Adverse Effect. Seller has all requisite power and authority, limited liability company or otherwise, to conduct its business, to own its properties and to execute and deliver, and to perform all of its
            obligations under, the Transaction Documents.

       

      (b)          Authorization of Sales; No Conflict as to Law or Agreements. The execution, delivery and performance by Seller of the Transaction Documents, the purchases
            and sales of Receivables hereunder and thereunder, the issuance of the Subordinated Notes and the consummation of the transactions herein and therein contemplated, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and do not and will
            not (i) require any consent or approval of the equityholder(s) of Seller, or any authorization, consent, approval, order, filing, registration or qualification by or with any governmental department, commission, board, bureau, agency or
            instrumentality, domestic or foreign, each of which has been obtained and is in full force and effect except for the filings or notices as may be necessary to perfect the sales to Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) violate any provision
            of any law, rule or regulation (including, without limitation, Regulation X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and Section 7 of the Exchange Act or any regulation promulgated thereunder) or of any order, writ, injunction or
            decree presently in effect having applicability to Seller or of the Organizational Documents of Seller, (iii) result in a breach of or constitute a default under any indenture or loan or credit agreement or any other material agreement, lease
            or instrument to which Seller is a party or by which it or its properties may be bound or affected, or (iv) result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien or other charge or encumbrance of any nature upon or with respect to any
            of the assets now owned or hereafter acquired by Seller; except, with respect to clauses (i), (ii) and (iv) above, where the failure to so comply with any of the foregoing could not reasonably be expect to have a Material Adverse Effect.

       

      (c)        Legal Agreements. This Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of Seller, enforceable
            against Seller in accordance with their respective terms, except to the extent that such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or by general equitable
            principles.

       

      
        (d)          Subsidiaries. Seller has no Subsidiaries.

      

       

      (e)        Financial Information. All balance sheets, all statements of income and of cash flow and all other financial information of Seller (other than projections)
            furnished to the Purchaser and described in Section 5.1(a) have been or will be prepared in accordance with GAAP and do or will present fairly in all material respects the financial condition and results of operations of Seller, as at such
            dates and for such periods in accordance with GAAP, subject, in the case of unaudited financial statements, to changes resulting from normal year-end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes.

       

      (f)          Material Adverse Effect. Since the date of Seller’s formation, no event has occurred that would have a Material
            Adverse Effect.

       

          

      
        
          	
                  
                    -7-

                    

                     

                      

                    Receivables Purchase Agreement

                  

                

        

        
          

      

      (g)          Litigation. There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of Seller, threatened against or affecting Seller or the assets of
            Seller before any court or governmental department, commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality, domestic or foreign, which, if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

       

      (h)          Regulation U. Seller is not engaged in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of
            Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), and no part of the proceeds of any Purchase will be used to purchase or carry any margin stock or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any
            margin stock.

       

      (i)           Taxes. Seller has paid or caused to be paid to the proper authorities when due all federal and all material state and local Taxes required to be withheld
            and paid by it. Seller has filed all federal, state and local Tax returns which to the knowledge of the officers of Seller are required to be filed, and Seller has paid or caused to be paid to the respective taxing authorities all taxes as
            shown on said returns or on any assessment received by it to the extent such taxes have become due, other than taxes whose amount, applicability or validity is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which Seller has
            provided adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP and to the extent that nonpayment would not result in a Material Adverse Effect.

       

      (j)          Investment Company Act; Volcker Rule. Seller (i) is not a “covered fund” under the Volcker Rule and (ii) is not required to register as, an “investment
            company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or any successor statute (the “’40 Act”). In determining that Seller is
            not a covered fund, Seller does not rely solely on the exemption from the definition of “investment company” set forth in Section 3(c)(1) and/or 3(c)(7) of the ’40 Act or is  entitled to the benefit of the exclusion for loan securitizations in
            the Volcker Rule under 17 C.F.R. 75.10(c)(8).

       

      (k)          Solvency. Seller is and, upon the making of any purchase under the Sale Agreement or sale under this Agreement, will be, Solvent.

       

      (l)          Compliance With Laws. Seller has complied with all applicable statutes, rules, regulations, orders and restrictions of any domestic or foreign government or
            any instrumentality or agency thereof having jurisdiction over the conduct of its business or the ownership of its assets and rights, where failure to comply could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

       

      (m)         Good Title. Immediately prior to or contemporaneously with each Cash Investment or Reinvestment hereunder, Seller shall be the legal and beneficial owner of
            all of the existing Receivables and Related Security with respect thereto, free and clear of any Lien except as created by the Transaction Documents and except for Permitted Liens. There have been duly filed all financing statements or other
            similar instruments or documents necessary under the UCC (or any comparable law) of all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect Seller’s Security Interest in each Receivable, its Collections and the Related Security.

       

      (n)    
                Perfection. Assuming the filing of the financing statements approved by Seller on the date hereof, this Agreement,
            together with such financing statements, is effective to create in favor of the Purchaser, a valid and perfected Security Interest in the Collateral, free and clear of any Lien except as created by the Transactions Documents and
        except for Permitted Liens.

                    Receivables Purchase Agreement

                  

                

        

        
          

      

      (o)          Places of Business and Locations of Records. Seller’s principal place of business, chief executive office and the other locations (if any) where its Records
            are located are at the addresses listed on Exhibit III or such other locations of which the Purchaser has been notified in accordance with Section 5.2(a) in jurisdictions where all action required by Section 12.4(a) has been taken and
            completed. Seller’s Federal Employer Identification Number and  Organizational Identification Number are correctly set forth on Exhibit III.

       

      (p)         Collections. The conditions and requirements set forth in Section 5.1(p) and Section 6.2 have at all times been satisfied and duly performed in all material
            respects. Exhibit IV  hereto (as updated from time to time by written notice from the Servicer to the Purchaser), sets forth (i) the names and addresses of all Collection Banks, together with the account numbers of the Collection
        Accounts, and (ii) the addresses of all Lock-Boxes, the numbers of all associated Lock-Box Accounts and the name and address of each Collection Bank. To the best of Servicer’s knowledge, no Seller Party or Originator Seller has granted any Person
        (other than the other Seller Party and the Purchaser) access to or control of any Lock-Box, Lock-Box Account or Collection Account, or the right to take dominion and control of any such Lock-Box, Lock-Box Account or Collection Account at a future
        time or upon the occurrence of a future event. To the extent that funds other than Collections are deposited into any Collection Account or Lock-Box Account, Seller or the Servicer can promptly trace and identify which funds constitute Collections.
      

       

      (q)         Names. Except as stated on Exhibit V as amended from time to time upon written notice to the Purchaser provided all necessary UCC financing statements and
            financing statement amendments are delivered to the Purchaser in connection with such amendments, in the past five (5) years, Seller has not used any legal names, trade names or assumed names other than the name in which it has executed this
            Agreement.

       

      (r)          Ownership of Seller. STC owns directly 100% of the issued and outstanding membership interests of Seller, free and clear of any Lien. Seller’s membership
            interests are validly issued and there are no options, warrants or other rights to acquire membership interests of Seller.

       

      (s)          Compliance with Credit and Collection Policy. Seller has complied in all material respects with the Credit and Collection Policy with regard to each
            Receivable and the related Contract.

       

      (t)          Payments to Applicable Originator. With respect to each Receivable, Seller has given reasonably equivalent value to the applicable Originator in
            consideration therefor and such transfer was not made for or on account of an antecedent debt. No transfer by any Originator of any Receivable under the Sale Agreement is or may be voidable under any section of the Federal  Bankruptcy Reform
            Code.

       

      (u)          Enforceability of Contracts. Each Contract with respect to each Receivable is effective to create, and has created, a valid
            and binding obligation of the related Obligor to pay the Outstanding Balance of such Receivable created thereunder and any accrued interest thereon, enforceable against such Obligor in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may
            be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a
        proceeding in equity or at law).

       

      

      
        
          	
                  
                    -9-

                    

                     

                      

                    Receivables Purchase Agreement

            date of each Cash Investment and Reinvestment that:

       

      (a)          Existence and Power. The Servicer and its Subsidiaries are each corporations  or limited liability companies duly incorporated or organized, as the case may
            be, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of their respective jurisdictions of incorporation or organization, and are each duly licensed or qualified to transact business in all jurisdictions where the character of the property
            owned or leased or the nature of the business transacted by them makes such licensing or qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so licensed or qualified (a) will not permanently preclude the Servicer or any Subsidiary from
            maintaining any material action in any such jurisdiction even though such action arose in whole or in part during the period of such failure, and (b) will not result in any other Material Adverse Change. The Servicer has all requisite power and
            authority, corporate or otherwise, to conduct its business, to own its properties and to execute and deliver, and to perform all of its obligations under, the Transaction Documents.

       

      

      
        
          	
                  
                    -10-

                    

                     

                      

                    Receivables Purchase Agreement

                  

                

        

        
          

      

      (b)          Authorization; No Conflict as to Law or Agreements. The execution, delivery and performance by the Servicer of the Transaction Documents to which it is a
            party, and the consummation of the transactions herein and therein contemplated, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and do not and will not (a) require any consent or approval of the stockholders of the Servicer, or any
            authorization, consent, approval, order, filing, registration or qualification by or with any governmental department, commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality, domestic or foreign, each of which has been obtained and is in full
            force and effect, except where the failure to obtain such authorization, consent, approval, order, filing, registration or qualification could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (b) violate any provision of any law,
            rule or regulation (including, without limitation, Regulation X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and Section 7 of the Exchange Act or any regulation promulgated thereunder) or of any order, writ, injunction or decree
            presently in effect having applicability to the Servicer or of the Organizational Documents of the Servicer, except to the extent that any such violation could not reasonably be expect to have a Material Adverse Effect, (c) result in a breach
            of or constitute a default under any indenture or loan or credit agreement or any other material agreement, lease or instrument to which the Servicer or any Subsidiary is a party or by which it or its properties may be bound or affected, except
            to the extent that any such breach or default could not reasonably be expect to have a Material Adverse Effect, or (d) result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien or other charge or encumbrance of any nature upon or with
            respect to any of the properties now owned or hereafter acquired by the Servicer or any Subsidiary.

       

      (c)          Legal Agreements. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which the Servicer is a party constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of
            the Servicer, enforceable against it in accordance with their respective terms, except to the extent that such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or by
            general equitable principles.

       

      (d)          Ownership of Seller. STC owns directly 100% of the issued and outstanding membership interests of Seller, free and clear of any Lien (other than Liens
            granted in connection with the Senior Credit Agreement).

       

      (e)           Financial Condition. STC has heretofore furnished to the Purchaser the audited consolidated financial statements of STC and its Subsidiaries for the year
            ended December 31, 2015. Those financial statements fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial condition of STC on the date thereof and the results of its operations and cash flows for the period then ended, and were
            prepared in accordance with GAAP. The information, exhibits and reports furnished by the Servicer to the Purchaser, taken as a whole, in connection with the negotiation of or compliance with the Transaction Documents did not contain any
            material misstatement of fact or omit to state a material fact or any fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading.

       

      (f)           Material Adverse Effect. No event has occurred since December 31, 2015 that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

       

          

      
        
          	
                  
                    -11-

                    

                     

                      

                    Receivables Purchase Agreement

                  

                

        

        
          

      

      (g)          Litigation. There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Servicer, threatened against or affecting the Servicer or any
            Subsidiary or the properties of the Servicer or any Subsidiary before any court or governmental department,  commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality, domestic or foreign, which, if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected
            to have a Material Adverse Effect. Other than any liability incident to any litigation, arbitration or proceeding which could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, the Servicer knows of no material contingent obligations
            not provided for or disclosed in the financial statements referred to in Section 3.2(e).

       

      (h)         Regulation U. Neither the Servicer nor any Subsidiary is engaged in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock
            (within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), and no part of the proceeds of any Cash Investment will be used to purchase or carry any margin stock or to extend credit to others for the purpose of
            purchasing or carrying any margin stock.

       

      (i)          Taxes. The Servicer and its Subsidiaries have each paid or caused to be paid to the proper authorities when due all federal and all material state and local
            Taxes required to be withheld and paid by them. The Servicer and its Subsidiaries have each filed all federal, state and local Tax returns which to the knowledge of the officers of the Servicer or any Subsidiary are required to be filed, and
            Servicer and its Subsidiaries have each paid or caused to be paid to the respective taxing authorities all taxes as shown on said returns or on any assessment received by it to the extent such taxes have become due, other than taxes whose
            amount, applicability or validity is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which the Servicer or applicable Subsidiary has provided adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP and to the extent that nonpayment would not
            result in a Material Adverse Effect.

       

      (j)          Burdensome Restrictions. Neither the Servicer nor any Subsidiary is a party to or bound by any agreement, or subject to any restriction in any
            Organizational Document, or any requirement of law, which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither  the Servicer nor any Subsidiary is a party to any presently effective agreement that, if entered into after the
            date hereof, (excluding this Agreement) limiting the ability of any Subsidiary to make any payments directly or indirectly to the Servicer, by way of dividends, advances, repayments of loans or advances, reimbursements of management and any
            other intercompany charges, expenses and accruals or other returns on investments, or any other agreement or arrangement which restricts the ability of any such Subsidiary to make any payment, directly or indirectly, to the Servicer.

       

      (k)          Titles and Liens. The Servicer or one of its Subsidiaries has good title to each of the properties and assets material to the operations of the Servicer
            and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, which it purports to own or which are reflected as owned on its books and records, in each case free and clear of all Liens and encumbrances, except for Liens and encumbrances permitted by the Credit
            Agreement and covenants, restrictions, rights, easements and irregularities in title which do not materially interfere with the business or operations of the Servicer and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

       

          

      
        
          	
                  
                    -12-

                    

                     

                      

                    Receivables Purchase Agreement

                  

                

        

        
          

      

      (l)           ERISA. The present value of all accumulated benefit obligations under each  Plan (based on assumptions used for purposes of FASB No. 87) did not, as of any
            January 1, hereafter exceed by more than $20,000,000 the value of the assets of such Plan, and the present value of all accumulated benefit obligations of all under-funded Plans (based on FASB No. 87 assumptions) did not, as of any January 1,
            hereafter, exceed by more than $20,000,000 the value of the assets of all under-funded Plans, and no liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation or the Internal Revenue Service in excess of such amount has been, or is expected by the
            Servicer or any Subsidiary or ERISA Affiliate to be, incurred with respect to any Plan that could become a liability of the Servicer or any Subsidiary except to the extent that any such circumstance could not reasonably be expected to have a
            Material Adverse Effect. Except as disclosed in the Servicer’s financial statements, neither the Servicer nor any Subsidiary has any contingent liability with respect to any post-retirement benefit under a Welfare Plan in excess of $20,000,000,
            other than liability for continuation coverage described in Part 6 of Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA.

       

      (m)        Insurance. The properties of the Servicer and its Subsidiaries are insured with responsible and reputable insurance companies not Affiliates of the
            Servicer, in such amounts, with such deductibles and covering such risks as are customarily carried by companies engaged in similar businesses and owning similar properties in localities where the Servicer and such Subsidiaries operate.

       

      (n)          Compliance With Laws. The Servicer and its Subsidiaries have complied with all applicable statutes, rules, regulations, orders and restrictions of any
            domestic or foreign government or any instrumentality or agency thereof having jurisdiction over the conduct of their respective businesses or the ownership of their respective properties, assets and rights, where failure to comply would have a
            Material Adverse Effect.

       

      (o)          No Contractual Default. Neither the Servicer nor any Subsidiary is in violation of any term of any contract, agreement, judgment or decree, the violation of
            which would (individually or together with all other such violations in existence) have in a Material Adverse Effect.

       

      (p)         Information. No Servicer Report or other written information furnished by the Servicer to the Purchaser for purposes of or in connection with this
            Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, when taken as a whole, contains any material misstatement of fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make such information (taken as a whole) not materially  misleading in light
            of the circumstances under which made (it being recognized by the Purchaser that any projections and forecasts provided by the Servicer are based on good faith estimates and assumptions believed by the Servicer to be reasonable as of the date
            of the applicable projections or assumptions and that actual results during the period or periods covered by any such projections and forecasts may materially differ from projected or forecasted results). Each submission of a Servicer Report
            shall be deemed to be a reaffirmation of the foregoing representation.

       

      (q)          Collections. The conditions and requirements set forth in Section 5.1(p) and Section 6.2 have at all times been satisfied and duly performed in all material
            respects by Seller or the Servicer. Exhibit IV hereto (as updated from time to time by written notice from the Servicer to the Purchaser), sets forth (i) the names and addresses of all Collection Banks, together with the account numbers of the
            Collection Accounts, and (ii) the addresses of all Lock-Boxes, the numbers of all associated Lock-Box Accounts and the name and address of each Collection Bank. To the best of Servicer’s knowledge, no Seller Party or Originator has granted any
            Person, other than the Seller Parties and the Purchaser, access to or control of any Lock-Box, Lock-Box Account or Collection Account, or the right to take dominion and control of any such Lock-Box, Lock-Box Account or Collection Account at a
            future time or upon the occurrence of a future event. To the extent that funds other than Collections  of Receivables are deposited into any Collection Account, the Servicer can promptly trace and identify which funds constitute Collections of
            the Receivables.

       

          

      
        
          	
                  
                    -13-

                    

                     

                      

                    Receivables Purchase Agreement

                  

                

        

        
          

      

      (r)          Compliance with Credit and Collection Policy. The Servicer has complied in all material respects with the Credit and Collection Policy with regard to each
            Receivable and the related Contract.

       

      (s)          Anti-Terrorism; Anti-Money Laundering; Anti-Corruption Laws. Neither the Servicer nor any Subsidiary or, to their knowledge, any of their Affiliates (a) is
            an “enemy” or an “ally of the enemy” within the meaning of Section 2 of the Trading with the Enemy Act of the United States (50 U.S.C. App. §§ 1 et seq.), (b) is in violation of (i) the Trading with the Enemy Act, (ii) any of the
        foreign assets control regulations of the United States Treasury Department (31 CFR, Subtitle B, Chapter V) or any enabling legislation or executive order relating thereto or (iii) the Patriot Act (collectively, the “Anti-Terrorism Laws”) or (c) is a Sanctioned Person. No part of the proceeds of any Cash Investment hereunder will be unlawfully used directly or indirectly to fund any operations
        in, finance any investments or activities in or make any payments to, a Sanctioned Person or a Sanctioned Country, or in any other manner that will result in any violation by any Person (including the Purchaser) of any Anti-Terrorism Laws. The
        Servicer has implemented and maintains in effect policies and procedures designed to ensure compliance by the Servicer, its Subsidiaries and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents in all material respects with Anti-Corruption
        Laws and applicable Sanctions, and the Servicer, its Subsidiaries and, to their knowledge, their respective directors, officers, employees and agents, are in compliance with Anti-Corruption Laws and applicable Sanctions in all material respects.

      Section 4.2            Conditions Precedent to Initial  Cash Investment.  The initial Cash Investment under this Agreement may be made on or after the Closing Date and is

            precedent that (a) the Servicer shall have delivered to the Purchaser on or prior to the date of such Investment, in form satisfactory to the Purchaser, all Servicer Reports as due on or before the applicable Investment Date under Section 6.6
            within any applicable period of grace unless waived in accordance with this Agreement, (b) the Facility Termination Date shall not have occurred, and (c) on the applicable Investment Date, the following statements shall be true (and acceptance
            of the proceeds of such Investment shall be deemed a representation and warranty by Seller that such statements are then true):

                    Receivables Purchase Agreement

                  

                

        

        
          

      

      (i)          the representations and warranties set forth in Article III are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Investment Date of such Investments as though made on and as of such date, except

        any Collections without the requirement that any further action be taken on the part of any Person and notwithstanding the failure of Seller to satisfy any of the foregoing conditions precedent in respect of such Reinvestment. The failure of Seller
        to satisfy any of the foregoing conditions precedent in respect of any Reinvestment shall give rise to a right of the Purchaser, which right may be exercised at any time on demand of the Purchaser, to rescind the related Reinvestment and direct
        Seller to pay to the Purchaser an amount equal to the Collections prior to the Amortization Date that were applied to the affected Reinvestment.

            Purchaser following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Amortization Event, deliver to the Purchaser all Contracts (and will use best efforts to deliver all multiple originals of any such Contract) relating to the Receivables that

       (a)        Name Change, Offices and Records. Seller will not change its name, identity or legal structure (within the meaning of Section 9-507(c) of any applicable

        instructions to any Obligor as to where payments on the Receivables should be made; provided, however, that the Servicer may make changes in instructions to Obligors regarding payments if such new instructions require such Obligor to make payments
        to another existing  Collection Account or Lock-Box Account that is subject to a Control Agreement.

       

       (c)         Modifications to Contracts and Credit and Collection Policy. The Servicer will not make any change to the Credit and Collection Policy that could

            any Contract under which any Receivable arises, or any Lock-Box, Lock-Box-Account or Collection Account, or assign any right to receive income with respect thereto (other than, in each case, the creation of the interests therein in favor of the
            Purchaser provided for herein), and Seller will defend the right, title and interest of the Purchaser in, to and under any of the foregoing property, against all claims of third parties claiming through or under Seller or any Originator.

            faith.

            Affiliate, joint venture partner or other individual or entity, to fund activities of or business with any individual or entity in a Sanctioned Country, or in any other manner that will result in a violation by any individual or entity
            participating in the transaction, whether as the Purchaser or otherwise, of Sanctions.

       (a)          The servicing, administration and collection of the Receivables shall be conducted by such Person (the “Servicer”) so designated from time to
            time in accordance with this Section 6.1. STC is hereby designated as, and hereby agrees to perform the duties and obligations of, the Servicer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance
            of an Amortization Event resulting from an action or inaction of, or circumstance existing with respect to, the Servicer (each, a “Servicer Termination Event”),

            the Purchaser may at any time, upon written notice to the current Servicer and Seller, designate as the Servicer any Person to succeed STC or any successor Servicer.

       

       (b)          STC may delegate to its Subsidiaries, including the Originators, as sub-servicers of the Servicer (each such Subsidiary, a “Sub-Servicer”),
            certain of its duties and responsibilities as the Servicer hereunder in respect of the Receivables; provided that STC remains liable for the
            performance or nonperformance of the duties and responsibilities of the Servicer. Without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, the Servicer shall not be permitted to delegate any of its duties or responsibilities as the Servicer to any
            Person other than (i) the Originators, and (ii) with respect to certain Charged-Off Receivables, outside collection agencies in accordance with its customary practices. None of the Sub-Servicers shall be permitted to further delegate to any
            other Person any of the duties or responsibilities of the Servicer delegated to it by STC. If at any time following the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event, the Purchaser shall designate as the Servicer any Person other than STC, all
            duties and responsibilities theretofore delegated by STC to any of the Sub-Servicers shall automatically be terminated.

                    Receivables Purchase Agreement

                  

                

        

        
          

      

       (c)         Notwithstanding the foregoing subsection (b), (i) the Servicer shall be and remain primarily liable to the Purchaser for the full and prompt performance of all duties and responsibilities of the Servicer hereunder in accordance with
            the terms hereof and (ii) the Purchaser shall be entitled to deal exclusively with the Servicer in matters relating to the discharge by the Servicer of its duties and responsibilities hereunder. The Purchaser shall not be required to give
            notice, demand or other communication to any Person other than the Servicer in order for communication to the Servicer and the Sub-Servicers or other delegate with respect thereto to be accomplished.  The  Servicer, at all times that it is the
            Servicer, shall be responsible for providing any Sub-Servicer or other delegate of the Servicer with any notice given to the Servicer under this Agreement.

       

       Section 6.2           Duties of the Servicer.

       

       (a)         The Servicer shall administer the Collections in accordance with the procedures described herein and in Article II., and 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 applicable laws, rules and regulations, with reasonable care and diligence, and in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy. The Servicer shall set aside and hold in trust for the account of Seller
            and the Purchaser their respective shares of the Collections in accordance with Article II. Provided the  Dominion Date has not occurred, the Servicer shall, upon the request of the Purchaser, segregate, in a manner acceptable to the Purchaser,
            all cash, checks and other instruments received by it from time to time constituting Collections from the general funds of the Servicer or Seller prior to the remittance thereof in accordance with Article II. 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 Purchaser such allocable share of Collections of Receivables set aside for the Purchaser on the first Business
            Day following receipt by the Servicer of such Collections, duly endorsed or with duly executed instruments of transfer.

       

      (b)          The Servicer shall direct all Obligors to make payments of the Receivables (i) directly to a Lock Box that clears through a Lock-Box Account which at all times after No vember 3, 2016 is subject to a Control Agreement; or (ii) directly
            to a Collection Account or Lock-Box Account which, at all times after November 3, 2016 is subject to a Control Agreement. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any Obligor makes payment to any Seller Party or Originator, Seller or the Servicer, as
            the case may be, agrees to remit, or to cause the applicable Originator to remit, any Collections (including any security deposits applied to the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable) that it receives on Receivables directly to a Collection
            Account or Lock-Box Account that, at all times after November 3, 2016 is subject to a Control Agreement, within two (2) Business Days after receipt thereof, and further agrees that all such Collections shall be deemed to be received in trust
            for the Purchaser; provided that prior to the Dominion Date, Seller or the Servicer may retain such Collections until required to be turned over to 
            the Purchaser on the next Payment Date.

       

      
        
          	
                  
                    -23-

                    

                     

                      

                    Receivables Purchase Agreement

                  

                

        

        
          

      

       (c)         The Servicer (and from and after the Dominion Date, the Purchaser) shall administer the Collections in accordance with the procedures described herein and in Article II. Subject to the last sentence of this Section 6.2(c), the Servicer
            (and from and after the Dominion Date, the Purchaser) shall hold in trust for the account of Seller and the Purchaser their respective shares of the Collections in accordance with Article II. From and after the Dominion Date, to the extent any
            Collections come into the possession of the Servicer, the Servicer shall, upon the request of the Purchaser, segregate, in a manner acceptable to the Purchaser, all such Collections from the general funds of the Servicer or Seller prior to the
            remittance thereof in accordance with Article II to the extent of any accrued and unpaid Aggregate Unpaids, and the requirement to continue such segregation shall continue until the Amortization Event giving rise to the Dominion Date is waived
            in the sole discretion of the Purchaser. Subject to Section 2.2, at all times while the Servicer is required to segregate Collections pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Servicer shall segregate and deposit with a bank designated by the
            Purchaser such allocable share of Collections of Receivables set aside for the Purchaser on the first Business Day following receipt by the Servicer of such Collections, duly endorsed or with duly executed instruments of transfer.
            Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, for so long as the Purchaser is not permitted to and has not requested the segregation of Collections in accordance with this Section 6.2(d) and STC or one of its Affiliates is the
            Servicer, the Servicer may process Collections as a part of a central cash management system maintained by STC and its Affiliates, which system shall include written records (which may be electronic) of all debits and credits attributable to
            Seller and its Receivables and all other participants in such system and, prior to the Dominion Date, such funds may be commingled with other funds of STC and its Affiliates.

       

       (d)          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 determines 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, Defaulted Receivable or
            Charged-Off Receivable or limit the rights of the Purchaser under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, following the occurrence and during continuation of an Amortization Event, the Purchaser shall have the
            absolute and unlimited right to direct the Servicer to commence or settle any legal action with respect to any Defaulted Receivable or to foreclose upon or repossess any Related Security to the extent not in contravention of the related
            Contracts or applicable law.

       

       (e)         The Servicer shall hold in trust for Seller and the Purchaser all Records in its possession that (i) evidence or relate to the Receivables, the related Contracts and Related Security or (ii) are otherwise necessary or
        desirable to collect the Receivables. Following the occurrence and  during the continuance of an Amortization Event, the Servicer shall (A) as soon as practicable upon demand of the Purchaser, deliver or make available to the Purchaser all such
        Records, at a place selected by the Purchaser, and (B) two (2) Business Days following receipt thereof, turn over (1) to Seller any cash Collections or other cash proceeds in accordance with Article II and (2) to the applicable Person any cash
        collections or other cash proceeds received with respect to Debt not constituting Receivables. The Servicer shall, from time to time at the request of the Purchaser, furnish to the Purchaser (not later than two (2) Business Days after any such
        request) a calculation of the amounts set aside for the Purchaser pursuant to Article II. 

       

       (f)          If any payment by an Obligor in respect of any indebtedness owed by it to an Originator or Seller has not been applied to the applicable Invoice within 30 days after its receipt, such payment shall, as between such Originator or Seller
            and the Purchaser, except as otherwise specified by such Obligor or otherwise required by Contract or law and unless otherwise instructed by the Purchaser, be applied as a Collection of any Receivable of such Obligor (starting with the oldest
            such Receivable) to the extent of any amounts then due and payable thereunder before being applied to any other receivable or other obligation of such Obligor.

                    Receivables Purchase Agreement

                  

                

        

        
          

      

       Section 6.3          Collection Accounts and Lock-Box Accounts.  On or before November 3, 2016, Seller

            has either (a) granted to the Purchaser “control” (within the meaning of the UCC) over each Collection Account and Lock-Box Account, or (b) obtained such “control” over each Collection Account or Lock-Box Account from the applicable Originator
            and assigned its “control” rights to the Purchaser and obtained the Collection Bank’s acknowledgement of such assignment in the applicable Control Agreement.

       

       Section 6.4          Collection  Notices.  The  Purchaser  is  authorized  to deliver to the Collection  Banks the Collection Notices at any time after the occurrence and
            during the continuance of an Amortization Event. Subject to the terms of the applicable Control Agreement,  on  or  before  November 3, 2016, the

            applicable Originator or Seller will transfer to the Purchaser exclusive “control” over each Collection Account or Lock-Box Account identified on Exhibit IV hereto; provided, however, that the Seller Parties shall retain the right to direct dispositions of funds from the Collection Accounts and Lock-Box Accounts prior to the Dominion Date. Each of the Seller Parties hereby authorizes the
            Purchaser, and agrees that the Purchaser shall be entitled (a) at any time after delivery of the Collection Notices, to endorse the applicable Seller Party’s (or the applicable Originator’s) name on checks and other instruments representing
            Collections, (b) at any time after an Amortization Event hereunder has occurred and is continuing, to enforce the Receivables, the related Contracts and the Related Security, and (c) at any time after an Amortization Event hereunder has
            occurred and is continuing, to 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 Purchaser rather than the Seller
            Parties or the Originators.

       

       Section 6.5         Responsibilities under Contracts. Anything herein  to  the  contrary notwithstanding, the exercise by the Purchaser of its rights hereunder shall not
            release the Servicer, any Originator or Seller from any of their duties or obligations with respect to any Receivables or under the related Contracts. The Purchaser shall have no obligation or liability with respect to any Receivables or
            related Contracts, nor shall any of them be obligated to perform the obligations of Seller or any Originator.

       

       Section 6.6           Servicer Reports.

       

       (a)         On each Monthly Reporting Date, the Servicer shall prepare and deliver not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) to the Purchaser, (i) a Servicer Report for the calendar  month (or portion thereof) then most recently ended in the
            form of Exhibit VI hereto (appropriately completed and executed), and (ii) an electronic file of the data contained therein.

       

       (b)         At such times as the Purchaser shall reasonably request, the Servicer shall prepare and deliver not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) five (5) Business Days after such request a listing by Obligor of all Receivables together
            with an aging of such Receivables.

                    Receivables Purchase Agreement

                  

                

        

        
          

      

       Section 6.7         Servicing Fees. In consideration of STC’s agreement to act as the Servicer hereunder, so long as STC shall continue to perform as the Servicer
            hereunder, STC shall be paid a fee (the “Servicing Fee”) on each Payment Date, in arrears for the immediately preceding Calculation Period, equal to
            1.0% per annum of the aggregate Outstanding Balance of all Receivables as of the first day of such period. The Servicer shall retain the payment of the Servicing Fee from Collections held on behalf of Seller pursuant to Section 2.1. At any time
            while the Servicer is not an Affiliate of Seller, the Servicing Fee shall be computed at such rate per annum as the Purchaser, Seller and the substitute the Servicer may mutually agree.

       (c)          Default in the performance, or breach, of any covenant or agreement of any of the Seller Parties or the Performance Guarantor in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which such Person is a party (excluding any covenant
            or agreement which is specifically addressed elsewhere in this Section 7.1), and the continuance of such default or breach for a period of thirty (30) days after the earlier to occur of (i) notice from the Purchaser of such non-performance or
            non-observance, or (ii) the date on which a Responsible Officer of such Seller Party or the Performance Guarantor has knowledge of such non-performance or non-observance.

       

       (d)        Any representation or warranty made by any Seller Party or the Performance Guarantor in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which such Person is a party, or in any certificate, instrument, report or statement
            contemplated by or made or delivered pursuant to or in connection herewith or therewith, shall prove to have been incorrect in any material respect when made.

       

       (e)         Any Transaction Document or any material provision thereof shall for any reason cease to be valid and binding on any Seller Party or the Performance Guarantor party thereto or any Seller Party or the Performance Guarantor shall assert
            that any Transaction Document is not enforceable in accordance with its terms.

       

      
        
          	
                  
                    -26-

            in such agreement if the effect of such default is to cause or to permit the holder of such item of Total Funded Debt (or trustee or agent on behalf of such holder) to cause such item of Total Funded Debt to come due prior to its stated
            maturity (or to cause or to permit the counterparty in respect of a Swap Contract to elect an early termination date in respect of such Swap Contract); provided,

              however, that no Amortization Event shall be deemed to have occurred under this clause (ii) of Section 7.1(f) if the aggregate amount owing as to all such items of Total Funded Debt as to which such defaults have occurred and are
            continuing is less than $25,000,000; provided, further, that if such default shall be cured by STC or such Subsidiary, or waived by the holders of
            such items of Total Funded Debt or counterparties in respect of such Swap Contracts, in each case prior to the commencement of any action under Section 7.2 and as may be permitted by such evidence of indebtedness, indenture, other instrument,
            or Swap Contract, then the Amortization Event hereunder by reason of such default shall be deemed likewise to have been thereupon cured or waived.

       

       (g)         Any of the Seller Parties shall be adjudicated as bankrupt or insolvent, or admit in writing its inability to pay its debts as they mature, or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors; or any of the Seller Parties shall apply
            for or consent to the appointment of any receiver, trustee, or similar officer for it or for all or any substantial part of its property; or such receiver, trustee or similar officer shall be appointed without the application or consent of such
            Seller Party, and such appointment shall continue undischarged for a period of 60 days; or any of the Seller Parties shall institute (by petition, application, answer, consent or otherwise) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,

            Code, and such petition shall not have been dismissed within 60 days after such filing; or an order for relief shall be entered in any case under the Federal naming any of the Seller Parties as debtor.

       

      
         (i)          A Change of Control shall occur with respect to any of the Seller Parties.

      

       

       (j)         The rendering against any of the Seller Parties of a final non-appealable judgment, decree or order for the payment of money if the amount of such judgment, decree or order, together with the amount of all other such judgments, decrees
            and orders then outstanding, less (in each case) the portion thereof covered by insurance proceeds, is greater than $5,000,000 in the case of the Servicer or is greater than or equal to $15,57518,600 in the case of Seller, and if such judgment, decree or order remains
            unsatisfied and in effect for any period of 30 consecutive days without a stay of execution.

       (k)         Any Plan shall have been terminated as a result of which the Servicer or any Subsidiary or ERISA Affiliate has incurred an unfunded liability in excess of $20,000,000; or a trustee shall have been appointed by an appropriate United
            States District Court to administer any Plan or the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation shall have instituted proceedings to terminate any Plan or to appoint a trustee to administer any Plan and in either case such action could reasonably be
            expected to result in liability to any of the Seller Parties in excess of $20,000,000, or any of the Seller Parties or ERISA Affiliate shall have incurred withdrawal liability in excess of $20,000,000 in respect of any Multiemployer Plan; or
            any of the Seller Parties or any ERISA Affiliate shall have incurred any joint and several liability to the Internal Revenue Service or the Department of Labor, or any of the Seller Parties shall have incurred any other liability to the
            Internal Revenue Service or the Department of Labor, in excess of $20,000,000 with respect to any Plan; or any Reportable Event that the Purchaser may determine in good faith could reasonably be expected to constitute grounds for the
            termination of any Plan by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, for the appointment by the appropriate United States District Court of a trustee to administer any Plan or for the imposition of withdrawal liability with respect to a
            Multiemployer Plan, and which, in any such case, could reasonably be expected to result in liability to any of the Seller Parties or any ERISA Affiliate in excess of $20,000,000, shall have occurred and be continuing 30 days after written
            notice to such effect shall have been given to the Servicer and the Purchaser; provided, however, that no Amortization Event shall be deemed to have
            occurred under this paragraph unless such event or events describe in this paragraph (either individually or together) with any other such event or events, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

       

       (l)          Any court, government or governmental agency shall condemn, seize or otherwise appropriate, or take custody or control of, all or any Material Part of the Assets of the Servicer and its Subsidiaries.

              however, that upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice, any Originator may cease to sell or contribute Receivables to Seller (and otherwise cease to be a party) under the Sale Agreement without causing an Amortization Event under
            this Agreement if such Originator has consolidated or merged with or into (or otherwise sold all or substantially all of its Assets to) another Originator.

       Section 7.2         Remedies. Upon the  occurrence  and  during  the  continuation  of  an  Amortization Event, the Purchaser may take any of the following actions:
            (i) upon notice to the Seller Parties, declare the Amortization Date to have occurred, whereupon Cash Investments shall cease and the Amortization Date shall forthwith occur, without demand, protest or further notice of any kind, all of which
            are hereby expressly waived by each Seller Party; provided, however, that upon the occurrence of an Amortization Event described in Section 7.1(g) or
            7.1(h), the Amortization Date shall automatically occur, without demand, protest or any notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by each Seller Party, (ii) deliver the Collection Notices, and (iii) if any Aggregate Unpaids
            remain outstanding thirty (30) days after the occurrence of the Amortization Date, unless a Seller Party has already done so, notify Obligors of the Purchaser’s interest in the Receivables. The aforementioned rights and remedies shall be
            without limitation, and shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies of the Purchaser otherwise available under any other provision of this Agreement, by operation of law, at equity or otherwise, all of which are hereby expressly
            preserved, including, without limitation, all rights and remedies provided under the UCC, all of which rights shall be cumulative. For the avoidance of doubt, the occurrence of the Amortization Date shall result in the termination of Cash

            Receivable or under the Transaction Documents.

       

      ARTICLE VIII 

      INDEMNIFICATION

       

       Section 8.1          Indemnities by Seller. Without limiting any other rights that the Purchaser may have hereunder or under applicable law, Seller hereby agrees to
            indemnify the Purchaser and each officer, director, employee and agent of the Purchaser (herein individually each called an “Indemnified Party” and
            collectively called the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, reasonable expenses (including, without
            limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) and liabilities (all of the foregoing being herein called the “Indemnified Amounts”) incurred
            by an Indemnified Party in connection with or arising out of the execution or delivery of any of the Transaction Documents or the making of any Cash Investment pursuant hereto, the performance by the parties to any Transaction Document of their
            respective obligations thereunder or the use of the proceeds of any Cash Investment hereunder, excluding, however, in each of the foregoing instances:

       

      (A)          Indemnified
            Amounts to the extent a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction holds that such Indemnified Amounts resulted solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the applicable Indemnified Party;

      

      

      
        
          	
                  
                    -29-

      (B)          Indemnified
            Amounts to the extent the same includes losses in respect of Receivables that are uncollectible solely on account of the insolvency, bankruptcy or lack of creditworthiness of the related Obligor; or

       

      (C)         Taxes (other than
            any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim);

       

      provided, however, that
          nothing contained in this Section shall limit the liability of Seller or limit the recourse of the Purchaser to Seller for amounts otherwise specifically provided to be paid by Seller under the terms of the Transaction Documents. Without limiting
          the generality of the foregoing indemnification, Seller shall indemnify the Indemnified Parties for Indemnified Amounts (including, without limitation, losses in respect of uncollectible Receivables, regardless of whether reimbursement therefor
          would constitute recourse to Seller) relating to or resulting from:

       

      (i)           any
            representation or warranty made by any Seller Party or any Originator (or any officers of any such Person) under or in connection with this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any other information or report required to be delivered by
            any such Person pursuant hereto or thereto, which shall have been false or incorrect in any material respect when made or deemed made;

            law, rule or regulation or any failure of any Originator to keep or perform any of its obligations, express or implied, with respect to any Contract;

       

      (iii)         any failure of
            any Seller Party or any Originator to perform its duties, covenants or other obligations in accordance with the provisions of any Transaction Document to which it is a party;

       

      (iv)          any
            environmental liability, products liability, personal injury or damage suit, or other similar claim arising out of or in connection with merchandise, insurance or services that are the subject of any Contract or any Receivable;

       

      (v)          any dispute,
            claim, offset or defense (other than discharge in bankruptcy of the Obligor) of the Obligor to the payment of any Receivable (including, without limitation, a defense based on such Receivable or the related Contract not being a legal, valid and
            binding obligation of such Obligor enforceable against it in accordance with its terms), or any other claim resulting from 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;

            litigation or proceeding related to or arising from this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, the transactions contemplated hereby, the use of the proceeds of any Cash Investment, the ownership of the Receivables or any other
            investigation, litigation or proceeding relating to any Seller Party or any Originator in which any Indemnified Party becomes involved as a result of any of the transactions contemplated hereby;

       

      (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)        any Amortization Event described in Section 7.1(g) or (h);

            Seller to acquire and maintain legal and equitable title to, and ownership of any Receivable and the Related Security and Collections with respect thereto from any Originator, free and clear of any Lien (other than as created hereunder); or any
            failure of Seller to give reasonably equivalent value to the applicable Originator under the Sale Agreement in consideration of the transfer by it of any Receivable, or any attempt by any Person to void such transfer under statutory provisions
            or common law or equitable action;

       

      (xi)         any failure to
            vest and maintain vested in the Purchaser a valid and perfected ownership interest or a first priority perfected Security Interest in the Collateral, free and clear of any Lien (except as created by the Transaction Documents);

       

      (xii)        the failure to
            have filed, or any delay in filing, financing statements or other similar instruments or documents under the UCC of any applicable jurisdiction or other applicable laws with respect to any Collateral, whether on the date hereof or at any
            subsequent time, except to the extent such failure or delay is caused by the Purchaser;

       

      (xiii)      any action or
            omission by any Seller Party which reduces or impairs the rights of the Purchaser with respect to any Collateral or the value of any Collateral (other than at the direction of the Purchaser and except as contemplated by the Transaction
            Documents);

       

      (xiv)       any attempt by any
            Person to void any Cash Investment or the Security Interest in the Collateral granted hereunder, whether under statutory provision, common law or equitable action; and

      

      

      (xv)        the failure of any

       (A)        Servicer

      Section 8.3 Increased Cost and Reduced Return.

       

      Section

              8.3           (a) Circumstances Affecting Benchmark Availability ; Change in Law GenerallyLegality.

       

      . If any Change
            in Law binding on or applicable to the Purchaser shall: (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or
            advances, loans or other credit extended or participated in by, the Purchaser (except any reserve requirement reflected in the LIBOR Market Index Rate); (ii) subject the Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes
            described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on the Cash Investments, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;
            or (iii) impose on the Purchaser or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than any taxes) affecting this Agreement or the Cash Investments; and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost
            to the Purchaser of making or maintaining any Cash Investment (or of maintaining its obligation to make any Cash Investment),or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Purchaser hereunder (whether of principal, interest or
            any other amount) then, upon written request of the Purchaser that complies with Section 8.3(c) below, Seller shall promptly pay to the Purchaser such additional amount or amounts as will
              compensate the Purchaser for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

       

       (b) Capital Requirements. If the Purchaser determines that any Change in Law affecting the Purchaser or any Funding Office of the Purchaser or its holding
            company regarding capital requirements or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the Purchaser’s capital or on the capital of the Purchaser’s holding company as a consequence of this Agreement, the
            Commitment or the Cash Investments to a level below that which the Purchaser or its holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration the Purchaser’s policies and the policies of its holding company with
            respect to capital adequacy or liquidity), then from time to time within ten (10) Business Days following written request of the Purchaser that complies with Section 8.3(c) below, Seller shall promptly pay to the Purchaser such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Purchaser or its holding company for any such reduction suffered.

       

            

      
        
          	
                  
                    -33-

                    

                     

                      

                    Receivables Purchase Agreement

                  

                

        

        
          

      

      (c) Certificates for Reimbursement. Any request from the Purchaser for payment of additional amounts pursuant to Section 8.3(a) or (b) shall include certification (i) that one of the events described in Section 8.3(a) or
            (b) has occurred and describing in reasonable detail the nature of such event, (ii) as to the reduction of the rate of return on capital resulting from such event and (iii) as to the additional amount or amounts requested by the Purchaser and a
            reasonably detailed explanation of the calculation thereof. A certificate of the Purchaser complying with the immediately preceding sentence and setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate the Purchaser or its holding company,
            as the case may be, as specified in Section 8.3(a) or (b) and delivered to Seller shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Seller shall pay the Purchaser the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) Business Days after
            receipt thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchaser shall not make demand for payment of increased costs under this Section 8.3 unless the Purchaser is generally imposing such increased costs on its similarly situated customers.

       

      (d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of the Purchaser to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of the Purchaser’s right to demand such compensation; provided that Seller
            shall not be required to compensate  the Purchaser pursuant to this Section 8.3 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six (6) months prior to the date that the Purchaser notifies Seller of the Change in Law giving
            rise to such increased costs or reductions and of the Purchaser’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six-month period referred to
            above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

       

      (e) Additional Reserve Costs. For so long as the Purchaser is required to make special deposits with the Bank of England and/or The Financial Services Authority (or, in either case, any other authority which replaces all
            or any of its functions) or to comply with reserve assets, liquidity, cash margin or other requirements of any monetary or other authority (including any such requirement imposed by the Bank of England, the European Central Bank or the European
            System of Central Banks, but excluding requirements reflected in the computation of the LIBOR Market Index Rate) in respect of any of the Cash Investments, the Purchaser shall be entitled to require Seller to pay, contemporaneously with each
            payment of Discount subject to such requirements, additional discount on such Investment at a rate per annum specified by the Purchaser to be the cost to the Purchaser of complying with such requirements in relation to such Investment. Any
            additional discount owed pursuant to this subsection shall be determined in reasonable detail by the Purchaser, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and notified to Seller at least five (5) Business Days before each
            date on which Discount is payable for the applicable Investment, and such additional Discount so notified to Seller by the Purchaser shall be payable to the Purchaser on each date on which Discount is payable for such Investment.

       

      (f) Limitation on Obligations of Seller. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8.3, if the Purchaser changes its applicable Funding Office (other than (i) pursuant to Section 8.3(g) below or (ii) after
            an Amortization Event under Section 7.1(a), (g) or (h) has occurred and is continuing) and the effect of such change, as of the date of such change, would be to cause Seller to become obligated to pay any additional amount or compensation under
            this Section 8.3, Seller shall not be obligated to pay such additional amount.

       

              

      
        
          	
                  
                    -34-

                    

                     

                      

                    Receivables Purchase Agreement

                  

                

        

        
          

      

      (g) Designation of a Different Funding Office.
                If the Purchaser requires Seller to pay any additional amount to the Purchaser or any Governmental Authority for the account of the Purchaser pursuant to Section 8.5, or requests compensation under this Section 8.3, then the Purchaser shall use reasonable
                efforts to designate a different Funding Office for funding or booking the Cash Investments hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its
                offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of the Purchaser, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 8.5 or this Section 8.3, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject the Purchaser
                to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to the Purchaser. Seller hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Purchaser in connection with any such designation or assignment.

                Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by the Purchaser (or any of its Funding Offices) with any request or directive (whether or not having the
                force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, shall make it unlawful or impossible for the Purchaser (or any of its Funding Offices) to honor its obligations hereunder to make or maintain any
                Investment accruing Discount at a rate based on Daily One Month Term SOFR, or to determine or charge Discount based upon SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate or Daily One Month Term SOFR, the Purchaser shall promptly give notice to the Seller

                reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Alternate Base Rate”.  Upon

                portion of Capital, as applicable, accruing Discount at the Alternate Base Rate (in each case, if necessary to avoid such illegality, the Purchaser shall compute the Alternate Base Rate without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Alternate Base Rate”) with respect to any Investment or portion of Capital, as applicable, accruing
                Discountt at a rate based on Daily One Month Term SOFR, on the last day of the Discount Period therefor, if the Purchaser may lawfully continue to maintain such Investment or portion of Capital, as applicable, accruing Discount at a rate
                based on Daily One Month Term SOFR to such day, or immediately, if the Purchaser may not lawfully continue to maintain such Investment or portion of Capital, as applicable, accruing Discount at a rate based on Daily One Month Term SOFR, as
                applicable, to such day.

      

      

      If, in any
            applicable jurisdiction, the Purchaser or any Designated Funding Office determines that any law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental
              Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for the Purchaser or its applicable Designated Funding Office to (i) perform any of its obligations hereunder or under any other Transaction Document, (ii) to fund or maintain the Cash Investments or (iii) issue,
              make, maintain, fund or charge Discount with respect to any Cash Investment such Person shall promptly notify the Seller, then, upon the Purchaser notifying Seller, and

              receipt of such notice, Seller shall, (A) promptly repay that Investment or other applicable Aggregate Unpaids arising after the Purchaser has notified Seller or, if earlier, the date specified by the Purchaser in the notice delivered to Seller (being no earlier than the last
              day of any applicable grace period permitted by applicable law) and (B) take all reasonable actions requested by such Person to mitigate or avoid such illegality.

                Other Benchmark Rate Election or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark
                Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (a)(1) or (a)(2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date and such Benchmark, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Transaction Document in respect of such
                Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in
                accordance with clause (a)(3) or clause (c) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Transaction Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at
                or after 5:00 p.m. (New  York  City  time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Purchaser without any

              then the applicable Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes
              hereunder or under any Transaction Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings, without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; provided that this paragraph shall not be effective unless the Purchaser has delivered to the Seller Parties a Term SOFR Notice. For the
              avoidance of  doubt,  the Purchaser shall not be required to deliver a Term SOFR Notice after a Term SOFR

              Transition Event and may elect or not elect to do so in its sole discretion.

       

      (ii) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, in consultation with Seller, the Purchaser will have the right to
                make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document,  any amendments
                implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

      (iii) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The
                Purchaser will promptly notify the Seller Parties of (A) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event, an Other Benchmark Rate Election or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark
                Replacement Date, (B) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (C) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Purchaser pursuant to this

            thereby shall be consummated), and (b) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Purchaser (including the fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the Purchaser ) in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in

       (b)          Payments  Free of Taxes.Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Seller under any Transaction
            Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or
            withholding of any Tax from any such payment, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in
            accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by Seller shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings
            applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

       (d)        Indemnification by Seller. Seller will indemnify the Recipient, within ten (10) Business Days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified
            Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by the Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to the Recipient and any reasonable expenses
            arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to
            Seller by the Purchaser shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

       

       (e)         Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by Seller to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 8.58.6, Seller shall deliver to the
            Purchaser the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser.

       

       (f)          Status of Purchaser. (i) If the Purchaser is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any
            Transaction Document, it shall deliver to the Seller, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Seller, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Seller as will permit such payments to be made without
            withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, if reasonably requested by the Seller, the Purchaser shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Seller as will enable the
            Seller to determine whether or not such the Purchaser is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of
            such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 8.58.6(f)(ii) below) shall not be required if in the Purchaser’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Purchaser to any material unreimbursed cost or
            expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Purchaser.

       

       (ii) If a payment made to the Purchaser under any Transaction Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if the
        Purchaser were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), the Purchaser shall deliver to the Seller at the time or times prescribed by
        law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Seller such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Seller
        as may be necessary for the Seller to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to determine that the Purchaser has complied with the Purchaser’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely
        for purposes of this clause (f)(ii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

                    Receivables Purchase Agreement

                  

                

        

        
          

      

      The Purchaser agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall
        update such form or certification or promptly notify the Seller in writing of its legal inability to do so.

       

       (g)         Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to
            which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 8.58.6 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 8.58.6), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the
            Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such
            indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental
            Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any
            amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification
            had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available
            its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

       

      Section 8.7           Benchmark Replacement Setting.

       

       (a)       Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, upon
                  the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, the Purchaser and the Seller may amend this Agreement to replace the then-current Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will
                  become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.

       

      
         (b)         [Reserved].

      

       

       (c)        Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Purchaser will promptly notify the Seller of (i) the
                  implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, and (ii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Purchaser will promptly notify the
                  Seller of the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 8.7(d). Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Purchaser pursuant to this Section 8.7, including any determination with
                  respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest
                  error and may be made in its sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 8.7.

       (d)        Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to  the contrary herein or in any other Transaction
                  Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including the Term SOFR or Reference Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark
                  is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Purchaser in its reasonable discretion or (B) the administrator of such Benchmark or the regulatory supervisor for the
                  administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is not or will not be representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International
                  Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks, then the Purchaser may modify the definition of “Discount
                  Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable, non-representative, non-compliant or non-aligned tenor and
                  (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an
                  announcement that it is not or will not be representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark
                  Replacement), then the Purchaser may modify the definition of “Discount Period” (or any
                  similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

       

       (e)         Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Seller’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark
                  Unavailability Period, the Seller may revoke any request for a conversion to or continuation of Investments to be made, converted or continued during such Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Seller will be deemed to
                  have converted any such request into a request for a conversion under the Alternate Base Rate. During a Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of
                  the Alternate Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the Alternate Base Rate.

       

       (f)        Conforming Changes. In connection with the use or administration of any Benchmark Replacement, the Purchaser will
                  have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time that do not materially alter the Benchmark Replacement compared to general market practice and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction
                  Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. The Purchaser will promptly notify the
                  Seller of the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use or administration of any Benchmark Replacement.

      ARTICLE IX 

      ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATIONS

       

       Section 9.1          Assignments. The Purchaser may assign all or any part  of  its  rights  and  obligations hereunder to an Eligible Assignee with, unless an Amortization
            Event exists and is continuing, the prior written consent of Seller which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, pursuant to an assignment and assumption agreement reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser and such Eligible Assignee. After
            giving effect to such assignment and assumption, the term “Purchaser” shall be deemed to refer to the assigning Purchaser and, to the extent of such assignment, to such Eligible Assignee, and the assigning Purchaser shall be released from its
            Commitment to the extent of such assignment.

       

       Solely in the event the Purchaser makes an assignment, the Purchaser shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Seller,
        maintain at one of its offices a register for the recordation of the name and address of each assignee of the Purchaser and the amount of the Commitment of the Purchaser and each such assignee, and the invested Capital amount of the Purchaser and
        each such assignee from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall  be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Seller and the
        Purchaser shall treat the Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the Purchaser hereunder to the extent of such assignment for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by
        the Seller at any reasonable time upon reasonable prior notice.

       

       Section 9.2           Participations.  The  Purchaser may  at any  time, without  the consent  of, or  notice to, Seller, sell participations to any Person (other than a
            natural Person, a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of a natural Person or Seller or any of Seller’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of the Purchaser’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Cash Investments); provided that (A) the Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) the Purchaser shall remain solely responsible to Seller for
            the performance of such obligations and (C) Seller and the Purchaser shall continue to deal solely and directly with each other in connection with such Purchaser’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.

       

       If the Purchaser sells a participation, it shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Seller, maintain a register on
        which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the amounts of each Participant’s participation interest in the Undivided Interests and any accrued Discount thereon (the “Participant Register”); provided that that the Purchaser shall not have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of
        the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s participation interest in the Commitment or in the Undivided Interests) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is
        necessary to establish that such participation interest is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Purchaser
        shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

                    Receivables Purchase Agreement

                  

                

        

        
          

      

       Section 9.3          Pledge to Federal Reserve. The Purchaser may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement
            to secure obligations of the Purchaser to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Purchaser from any of
            its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for the Purchaser as a party hereto.

       

      ARTICLE X

      GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST

      

      

       Section 10.1        Grant  of  Security  Interest.  In addition to the interests which the Purchaser   may from time to time acquire pursuant hereto, Seller hereby grants
            to the Purchaser (and the Indemnified Parties and Servicer Indemnified Parties claiming through the Purchaser) a continuing Security Interest in all of Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under all Receivables now existing or
            hereafter arising, all Related Security, all Collections and other rights and payments relating to such Receivables and Related Security, in each case, whether now existing or hereafter arising, and all proceeds of any of the foregoing
            (collectively, the “Collateral”), to secure the prompt and complete payment of the Aggregate Unpaids, Indemnified Amounts and the performance of all of
            Seller’s obligations under the Transaction Documents. The Purchaser is hereby authorized to file a financing statement naming Seller as the debtor and/or Seller and describing the collateral covered thereby as “all assets and the proceeds
            thereof, whether now existing or hereafter arising.” The Purchaser shall have, in addition to the rights and remedies that it may have under this Agreement, all other rights and remedies provided to a secured creditor under the UCC and other
            applicable law, which rights and remedies shall be cumulative.

       (a)          No failure or delay on the part of the Purchaser 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.

      Section 11.2         Notices.

      

      

       (a)        Generally. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be (i) personally
            delivered, (ii) transmitted by registered mail, postage prepaid, (iii) sent by Federal Express or similar expedited delivery service, or (iv)transmitted by telecopy, in each

            telecopier number as may hereafter be designated in a notice by that party to the other party complying with the terms of this Section. All such notices or other communications shall be deemed to have been given on (w) the date received if

            telecopy, except that Cash Investment Notices shall not be effective as to the Purchaser until received by the Purchaser.

       

       (b)         Electronic Communications. Notices and other communications to the Purchaser hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including
            e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Purchaser. The Purchaser or Seller may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant
            to procedures approved by it, provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. Unless the Purchaser
            otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as
            available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), provided that if such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business
            hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient, and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be
            deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor.

       

       (c)          Use of Platform to Distribute Communications. The Purchaser may make any material delivered by Seller to the Purchaser, as well as any amendments, waivers,
            consents, and other written information, documents, instruments and other materials relating to Seller, or any other materials or matters relating to any Transaction Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby

       Section 11.3         Setoff. If an Amortization Event shall have occurred and be continuing, the Purchaser and each of its respective Affiliates
          is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held
          and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by the Purchaser or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of Seller against any and all of the obligations of Seller now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or
          any other Transaction Document to the Purchaser or its respective Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not the Purchaser or such Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document and although such
          obligations of Seller may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch, office or Affiliate of such Purchaser different from the branch, office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of the Purchaser
          and its Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that the Purchaser or its respective Affiliates may have. The Purchaser agrees to notify Seller promptly after any such setoff
          and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The provisions of this Section 11.3 shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by Seller pursuant to and in
          accordance with the express terms of this Agreement.

      

      

       Section 11.4         Protection of Ownership and Security Interests.

       

       (a)          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 reasonably necessary or desirable, or that the Purchaser may reasonably
            request, to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the Purchaser’s ownership of the Receivables or its Security Interest in the Collateral, or to enable the Purchaser to exercise and enforce their rights and remedies hereunder. At any time
            after the occurrence of an Amortization Event, the Purchaser may direct Seller or the Servicer to notify the Obligors of Receivables, at Seller’s expense, of the ownership or Security Interests of the Purchaser under this Agreement, and if such
            notification is not made within thirty (30) days after the Purchaser has so directed Seller and the Servicer, the Purchaser may make such notification. Seller or the Servicer (as applicable) shall, at the Purchaser’s or the Purchaser’s request, withhold the identity of the Purchaser in any such notification.

       

       (b)         If any Seller Party fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder, the Purchaser may (but shall not be required to) perform, or cause performance of, such obligations, and the Purchaser’s costs and expenses incurred in connection
            therewith shall be payable by Seller as provided in Section 8.48.5.

       

       Section 11.5         Confidentiality. The Purchaser shall keep  confidential  (and  cause  their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives
            to keep confidential) all information, materials and documents furnished by the Seller Parties and their Subsidiaries to the Purchaser (the “Disclosed
              Information”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchaser may disclose Disclosed Information (a) to its permitted assigns; (b) to any Affiliate of the Purchaser in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, provided that such Affiliate has been informed of the confidential nature of such information; (c) to legal counsel, accountants and other professional
            advisors to the Purchaser; (d) to any regulatory body having jurisdiction over the Purchaser (including in connection with a pledge or assignment permitted by Section 9.3); (e) to the extent required by applicable laws and regulations or by any
            subpoena or similar legal process, or requested by any governmental agency or authority; (f) to the extent such Disclosed Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Agreement, (ii) becomes available to
            the Purchaser on a non-confidential basis from a source other than a Seller Party or a Subsidiary, or (iii) was available to the Purchaser on a non-confidential basis prior to its disclosure to the Purchaser by a Seller Party or a Subsidiary;
            (g) to the extent a Seller Party or such Subsidiary shall have consented to such disclosure in writing; (h) to the extent reasonably deemed necessary by the Purchaser in the enforcement of the remedies of the Purchaser provided under the
            Transaction Documents; or (i) in connection with any potential assignment or participation in the interest granted hereunder, provided that any such potential assignee or participant shall have executed a confidentiality agreement imposing on
            such potential assignee or participant substantially the same obligations as are imposed on the Purchaser under this Section 11.5.

            CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF OTHER THAN SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW WHICH SHALL APPLY HERETO) EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT THE PERFECTION OF THE PURCHASER’S SECURITY INTEREST IN THE COLLATERAL OR

            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 THE PURCHASER TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST ANY SELLER PARTY IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. ANY  JUDICIAL PROCEEDING BY ANY SELLER PARTY AGAINST THE
            PURCHASER OR ANY AFFILIATE THEREOF INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENT EXECUTED BY SUCH SELLER PARTY PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE BROUGHT
            ONLY IN A COURT IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN, NEW YORK.

            SOUNDING IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH THIS AGREEMENT, ANY DOCUMENT EXECUTED BY ANY SELLER PARTY PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER.

            parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof superseding all prior oral or written understandings.

       Section 11.10       Counterparts; Severability; Section References. 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. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, delivery of an executed
            counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement  by telefacsimile or electronic image scan transmission (such as a “pdf” file) will be effective to the same extent as delivery of a manually executed original counterpart of this 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,

Unless otherwise expressly indicated, all references herein to “Article,” “Section,” “Schedule” or “Exhibit” shall mean articles and sections

            Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”)

      In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation
        in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the
        U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party
        or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Transaction Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be
        exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Transaction Documents were governed by the
        laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any
        Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

            satisfied and fully performed all obligations on its part with respect to such Receivable required to be fulfilled by it, and no further action is required to be performed by any Person with respect thereto other than payment thereon by the

Reason will exist only if Executive provides notice to the Company of the existence of the condition otherwise constituting Good Reason
within 90 days of the initial existence of the condition, and the Company fails to remedy the condition on or before the 30th day following
its receipt of such notice.

 

     

     

    

 

(iv)       Involuntary
Termination. For purposes of this Agreement, “Involuntary Termination” shall mean either: a termination without Cause
or a termination for Good Reason. In no event will it be deemed an independent and sufficient basis for an Involuntary Termination

 

(c)            Involuntary
Termination.

 

(i)         Involuntary
Termination After Change in Control. If, prior to the expiration of the Employment Period and within twelve (12) months following
a Change in Control, Executive is subject to an Involuntary Termination (as defined in Section 3.01.b.iv), then the Company
will pay “Change in Control Severance Benefits” to Executive (which shall be the sole benefits Executive is entitled to under
these circumstances). The Change in Control Severance Benefits will be a payment (less applicable withholdings and deductions) equivalent
to 18 months of Executive’s Base Salary (as in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control, or the date of the termination
of Executive’s employment, whichever is greater), payable as a single lump sum within 74 days of Executive’s termination of
employment.

 

(ii)        Involuntary
Termination — No Change in Control. If, prior to the expiration of the Employment Period, no Change in Control has occurred
in the preceding twelve (12) months and Executive is subject to an Involuntary Termination (as defined in Section 3.01.b.iv),
then the Company will pay “Severance Benefits” to Executive (which shall be the sole benefits Executive is entitled to under
these circumstances). The Severance Benefits will be a payment (less applicable withholdings and deductions) equivalent to 12 months
of Executive’s Base Salary as in effect immediately prior to the date of Executive’s termination of employment, payable as
a single lump sum within 74 days of the termination of Executive’s employment.

 

(iii)       Determination
of Good Reason. In order for Executive to terminate for Good Reason, (i) Executive must notify the Board, in writing, within
ninety (90) days of the event constituting Good Reason of Executive’s intent to terminate employment for Good Reason, that
specifically identifies in reasonable detail the facts and events that the Executive believes constitute Good Reason; (ii) the event
must remain uncured for thirty (30) days following the date that Executive notifies the Board in writing of Executive’s intent
to terminate employment for Good Reason (the “Notice Period”), and; (iii) the termination date must occur within sixty
(60) days after the expiration of the Notice Period.

 

(d)            Voluntary
Resignation; Termination For Cause. If Executive’s employment with the Company terminates (i) voluntarily by Executive
(other than for Good Reason during the period following a Change in Control) or (ii) by the Company for Cause, then Company shall
have no duty to make any payments or provide any benefits to Executive pursuant to this Agreement other than the amount of Executive’s
Base Salary and Over-Time Allowance, if any, accrued through the Termination Date. The use of the term “Cause” in Section 3.01.b.i in
no way limits the right of the Company to terminate Executive’s employment pursuant to the provisions of this Article III.
The Company must notify the Executive, in writing, that the Executive is being terminated for Cause, and such notice shall identify in
reasonable detail the facts and events that the Company believes constitute Cause.

 

     

     

    

 

(e)            Accrued
Wages; Expenses. Without regard to the reason for, or the timing of, Executive’s termination of employment: (i) the
Company will pay Executive any unpaid Base Salary and Over-Time Allowance due for periods prior to the Termination Date, and; (ii) following
submission of proper expense reports by Executive, the Company will reimburse Executive for all expenses reasonably and necessarily incurred
by Executive in connection with the business of the Company prior to the Termination Date. These payments will be made promptly upon the
Termination Date and within the period of time mandated by law, subject to provisions set forth herein.
