The Seller hereby requests that certain amendments be made to the Existing Receivables Purchase Agreement and, for the sake of clarity and convenience, that the Existing Receivables Purchase Agreement be restated as so amended.
In consideration of the mutual agreements, provisions and covenants contained herein, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
Article I

Definitions
    Section 1.01.    Certain Defined Terms.  The defined terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings as set forth in Exhibit L attached hereto (such meanings to be equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms of the terms defined).

With respect to the Term SOFR Rate and Daily 1M SOFR, the Administrative Agent will have the right, in consultation with the Seller, to make Conforming Changes from time to time 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; provided that, with respect to any such amendment effected, the Administrative Agent shall provide notice to the Seller and the 
-2-

Purchasers of each such amendment implementing such Conforming Changes reasonably promptly after such amendment becomes effective.
Article II

Terms of the Purchases and Investments
    Section 2.01.    Purchase Facility.  
    (a)    Investments.  Upon a request by the Seller pursuant to Section 2.02(a), and on the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth, the Conduit Purchasers, ratably, in accordance with the aggregate of the Commitments of the Related Committed Purchasers with respect to each such Conduit Purchaser, severally and not jointly, may, in their sole discretion, make fundings of Capital to the Seller on a revolving basis, and if and to the extent any Conduit Purchaser does not make any such funding of Capital or if any Group does not include a Conduit Purchaser, the Related Committed Purchaser(s) for such Conduit Purchaser or the Committed Purchaser for such Group, as the case may be, shall, ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments, severally and not jointly, make such funding of Capital to the Seller, in either case, from time to time during the period from the Initial Investment Date to the Termination Date.  Each such funding of Capital by a Purchaser to the Seller shall constitute an Investment hereunder for all purposes.  Under no circumstances shall any Purchaser be obligated to make any Investment if, after giving effect thereto:
    (i)    the Aggregate Capital would exceed the Facility Limit at such time;
    (ii)    the sum of (A) the Capital of such Purchaser, plus (B) the aggregate outstanding Capital of each other Purchaser in its Group, would exceed the Group Commitment of such Purchaser’s Group;
    (iii)    if such Purchaser is a Committed Purchaser, the aggregate outstanding Capital of such Committed Purchaser would exceed its Commitment; or
    (iv)    the Aggregate Capital would exceed the Capital Coverage Amount at such time.
    (b)    Sale of Receivables and Other Sold Assets.  In consideration of the Purchasers’ respective agreements to make Investments in accordance with the terms hereof, the Seller, on the date of each Investment and on each other date occurring on or prior to the Termination Date, hereby sells, assigns and transfers to the Administrative Agent (for the ratable benefit of the Purchasers according to their Capital as increased or reduced from time to time hereunder), all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under all of the following, whether now or hereafter owned, existing or arising (collectively, the “Sold Assets”): (i) all Sold Receivables, (ii) all Related Security with respect to such Sold Receivables, (iii) all Collections with respect to such Sold Receivables and (iv) all proceeds of the foregoing; provided, notwithstanding the foregoing or any provision of any Transaction Document, none of the Administrative Agent, any Purchaser Party or any beneficiary thereof shall have the right to hold, review, view, audit or otherwise 
-3-

possess (x) any Contract; or (y) any financial reporting or other books or records specifically relating to such Contract and the Receivables generated thereunder, the disclosure of which is precluded by the applicable terms of such Contract, provided, further, however, that during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Termination, to the extent that the related Obligor has defaulted in the payment of any Receivable, upon the request of the Administrative Agent the Seller shall provide the Administrative Agent with such information reasonably requested with respect to any such Contract (which may be redacted versions of or excerpts of any Contract) to the extent needed for the Administrative Agent to enforce such Contract against the applicable Obligor.  Such sales, assignments and transfers by the Seller shall, in each case, occur and be deemed to occur for all purposes in accordance with the terms hereof automatically without further action, notice or consent of any party.
    (c)    Intended Characterization as a Purchase and Sale.  It is the intention of the parties to this Agreement that the transfer and conveyance of the Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Sold Assets to the Administrative Agent (for the ratable benefit of the Purchasers according to their Capital as increased or reduced from time to time hereunder) pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute a purchase and sale and not a pledge for security, and such purchase and sale of the Sold Assets hereunder shall be treated as a sale for all purposes (except as provided in Sections 2.01(d) and 14.14).  For the avoidance of doubt, this clause (c) shall not be construed to limit or otherwise modify Section 5.05 or any rights, interests, liabilities or obligations of any party thereunder.
    (d)    Obligations Not Assumed.  Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to the contrary, the foregoing sale, assignment, transfer and conveyance set forth in Section 2.01(b) does not constitute, and is not intended to result in, the creation or an assumption by the Administrative Agent, any Group Agent or any Purchaser of any obligation or liability of the Seller, any Originator, the Servicer, or any other Person under or in connection with all, or any portion of, any Sold Assets, all of which shall remain the obligations and liabilities of the Seller, the Originators, the Servicer and such other Persons, as applicable.
    (e)    Selection, Designation and Reporting of Sold Receivables.  The Seller (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall select and identify from the Pool Receivables all Sold Receivables to be sold pursuant to Section 2.01(b) in its sole discretion; provided, however, that the Seller shall not permit the aggregate Outstanding Balance of Sold Receivables to exceed the Aggregate Capital at any time; provided, further, no Receivable that is subject to any withholding Taxes shall be designated as a Sold Receivable.  The Seller shall maintain (or cause the Servicer to maintain) books and records sufficient to readily identify the Sold Receivables.  The Seller and Servicer shall cause all Sold Receivables to be identified on each Investment Request in accordance with Section 2.02(a) and on each Information Package delivered hereunder.
    Section 2.02.    Making Investments; Return of Capital.  (a) The Seller may request an Investment by delivering to the Administrative Agent and each Group Agent an Investment Request in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.  Each such Investment Request shall be delivered on a Business Day by no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) at least two (2) Business Days prior to the day the related requested Investment is to be made, it being 
-4-

understood in each case that any such request made after such time specified in clauses (i) and (ii) shall be deemed to have been made on the following Business Day.  Each Investment Request shall specify (i) the amount of Capital requested (which amount shall (x) not be less than $100,000 and shall be an integral multiple of $100,000 and (y) after giving effect to the addition of Pool Receivables in connection with such Investment, not cause (1) a Capital Coverage Deficit to exist or (2) the Aggregate Capital to be less than an amount that is equal to the lesser of (A) sixty-six and sixty-seven hundredths percent (66.67%) of the Facility Limit at such time and (B) the Capital Coverage Amount at such time, (ii) the allocation of such amount among the Groups (which shall be ratable based on the Group Commitments), (iii) the account to which the Capital of such Investment shall be distributed, (iv) the date such requested Investment is to be made (which shall be a Business Day) and (v) all Pool Receivables that are or, effective upon the making of such Investment, will be, Sold Receivables.
    (b)    (i)  The Administrative Agent shall, promptly after receipt by it of an Investment Request pursuant to Section 2.02(a), notify each Group Agent of its receipt of such Investment Request specifying the information provided by the Seller and the apportionment among the Groups (which shall be ratably based on the Group Commitments) of the requested Investment.  On the date of each Investment specified in the applicable Investment Request, the Purchasers shall, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Article VI and pursuant to the other conditions set forth in this Article II, deliver to the Administrative Agent by wire transfer of immediately available funds at the account from time to time designated in writing by the Administrative Agent, an amount equal to the portion of Capital relating to the undivided percentage ownership interest then being funded by such Purchaser.  On the date of each Investment specified in the applicable Investment Request, the Administrative Agent shall, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Article VI and pursuant to the other conditions set forth in this Article II, make available to the Seller in same day funds an aggregate amount equal to the amount of Capital to be funded by all Purchasers, at the account set forth in the related Investment Request, provided that if any Purchaser fails to remit such funds to the Administrative Agent in a timely manner, the Administrative Agent may elect in its sole discretion to fund with its own funds the share of the Investment of such Purchaser on such date, and such Purchaser shall be subject to the repayment obligation in Section 2.02(b)(ii).
    (ii)    Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Purchaser or Group Agent prior to the proposed date of any Investment that such Purchaser’s or Group Agent’s Group will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Group’s share of such Investment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Group has made such share available on such date in accordance with the foregoing clause (b)(i) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Seller a corresponding amount.  In such event, if a Group has not in fact made its share of the applicable Investment available to the Administrative Agent, then the Committed Purchaser in such Group and the Seller severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Seller to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Committed Purchaser, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Seller, the Base Rate.  If such Committed Purchaser pays such amount to the Administrative 
-5-

Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Committed Purchaser’s Capital included in such Investment.  If the Seller and such Committed Purchaser shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Seller the amount of such interest paid by the Seller for such period.  Any such payment by the Seller shall be without prejudice to any claim the Seller may have against a Committed Purchaser that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.
    (c)    Each Committed Purchaser’s obligation shall be several, such that the failure of any Committed Purchaser to make available to the Seller or Administrative Agent any funds in connection with any Investment shall not relieve any other Committed Purchaser of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make funds available on the date such Investments are requested (it being understood, that no Committed Purchaser shall be responsible for the failure of any other Committed Purchaser to make funds available to the Seller in connection with any Investment hereunder).
    (d)    The Seller shall return in full the outstanding Capital of each Purchaser on the Seller Obligation Final Due Date.  Prior thereto, the Seller shall, on each Settlement Date, reduce the outstanding Capital of the Purchasers to the extent required under Section 4.01 and otherwise only in accordance with such Section 4.01 (subject to the priorities for payment set forth therein) by paying the amount of such reduction in accordance with Section 4.02.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller, in its discretion, shall have the right to reduce without premium or penalty (other than any associated Breakage Fees, if applicable), in whole or in part by payment only from Collections on Pool Receivables, the outstanding Capital of any or all Purchasers on any Business Day by delivering a Reduction Notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B to the Administrative Agent and each Group Agent by no later than (i) if the amount of outstanding Capital to be reduced does not exceed $100,000,000, 3:00 p.m. on the date of such reduction and (ii) otherwise, one (1) Business Day prior to the date of such reduction; provided, however, that (A) each such reduction shall not be less than $100,000 (unless the Capital of the applicable Purchaser or the Aggregate Capital, as applicable, would be reduced to zero) and shall be an integral multiple of $100,000; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, a reduction may be in an amount necessary to reduce any Capital Coverage Deficit existing at such time to zero, (B) any accrued Yield and Fees in respect of the portion(s) of Capital so reduced shall be paid in full on the immediately following Settlement Date and (C) it shall be a condition precedent to any such reduction in Capital that after giving effect to the reduction in the outstanding Capital proposed in such Reduction Notice, the outstanding Capital at such time would not be less than an amount equal to the lesser of (x) sixty-six and sixty-seven hundredths percent (66.67%) of the Facility Limit at such time and (y) the Capital Coverage Amount at such time; provided, further, if the outstanding Capital of any Committed Purchaser is reduced to zero, the Seller may, in its discretion reduce the Commitment of such Committed Purchaser to zero.
    (e)    The Seller may, at any time upon at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and each Group Agent, terminate the Facility Limit in whole or ratably reduce the Facility Limit in part.  Each partial reduction in the Facility Limit shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of $100,000,000 (unless the Commitment of any applicable Committed Purchaser shall be reduced to zero) or integral multiples of $100,000,000 in excess 
-6-

thereof, and no such partial reduction shall reduce the Facility Limit to an amount less than $1,000,000,000.  In connection with any partial reduction in the Facility Limit, the Commitment of each Committed Purchaser shall be ratably reduced.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Affected Person in the related Group shall have submitted a claim for reimbursement or compensation under Section 5.01 or any Purchaser in the related Group shall have become a Defaulting Purchaser, at any time upon at least one (1) day’s prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and each Group Agent, reduce the Facility Limit in part by reducing the Commitment of the related Committed Purchaser on a non-ratable basis.
    (f)    In connection with any reduction of the Commitments, the Seller shall remit to the Administrative Agent (i) instructions regarding such reduction and (ii) for payment to the Purchasers, cash from available Collections in an amount sufficient to pay (A) the Capital of Purchasers in each Group in excess of the Group Commitment of such Group and (B) all other outstanding Seller Obligations with respect to such reduction (determined based on the ratio of the reduction of the Commitments being effected to the amount of the Commitments prior to such reduction or, if the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that any portion of the outstanding Seller Obligations is allocable solely to that portion of the Commitments being reduced or has arisen solely as a result of such reduction, all of such portion) including, without duplication, any associated Breakage Fees.  Upon receipt of any such amounts, the Administrative Agent shall apply such amounts from available Collections first to the reduction of the outstanding Capital, and second to the payment of the remaining outstanding Seller Obligations with respect to such reduction, including any Breakage Fees, by paying such amounts to the Purchasers.
    (g)    So long as no Event of Termination or Unmatured Event of Termination has occurred and is continuing, with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and upon prior notice to the Purchasers, the Seller may from time to time request an increase in the Commitment with respect to one or more Committed Purchasers or cause additional Persons to become parties to this Agreement, as Purchasers, at any time following the Closing Date and prior to the Termination Date; provided, that any such increase in such Committed Purchasers’ Commitments and the Commitments of all such additional Committed Purchasers may not exceed $2,000,000,000 in the aggregate during the life of this Agreement; provided, that each request for an increase and addition shall be in a minimum amount of $100,000,000.  At the time of sending such notice with respect to any Purchaser, the Seller (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period within which such Purchasers and the Administrative Agent are requested to respond to the Seller’s request (which shall in no event be less than ten (10) Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the Administrative Agent).  Each Committed Purchaser being asked to increase its Commitment and the Administrative Agent shall notify the Seller within the applicable time period whether or not such Person agrees, in its respective sole discretion, to the increase to such Committed Purchaser’s Commitment.  Any such Person not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to consent to an increase in such Committed Purchaser’s Commitment.  For the avoidance of doubt, only the consent of the Purchaser then being asked to increase its Commitment (or an additional Purchaser) and the Administrative Agent shall be required in order to approve any such request.  If the Commitment of any Committed Purchaser is increased (or a new Person is added as Committed Purchaser) in accordance with this clause (g), the 
-7-

Administrative Agent, such Purchaser and the Seller shall determine the effective date with respect to such increase (or addition) and shall enter into such documents as agreed to by such parties to document such increase (or addition).  If the Commitment of any Committed Purchaser is increased (or a new Person is added as Committed Purchaser) the Administrative Agent shall provide written notice of such increase (or addition) to each Purchaser and Group Agent.
    Section 2.03.    Yield and Fees.  (a) On each Settlement Date, the Seller shall, in accordance with the terms and priorities for payment set forth in Section 4.01, pay to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of each Group Agent, each Purchaser, the Administrative Agent and the Structuring Agent certain fees (collectively, the “Fees”) in the amounts set forth in the fee letter agreements from time to time entered into, among the Seller, the members of the applicable Group (or their Group Agent on their behalf) and/or the Administrative Agent (each such fee letter agreement, as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, collectively being referred to herein as the “Fee Letter”).  Commitment Fees (as defined in the Fee Letter) shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Purchaser and each other Purchaser in the same Group as provided in Section 2.06.
    (b)    Each Purchaser’s Capital shall accrue Yield on each day when such Capital remains outstanding at the then applicable Yield Rate for such Capital (or each applicable portion thereof).  The Seller shall pay all Yield (including, for the avoidance of doubt, all Yield accrued on Term SOFR Tranches during a Yield Period regardless of whether the applicable Tranche Period has ended), Fees and Breakage Fees accrued during each Yield Period on each Settlement Date in accordance with the terms and priorities for payment set forth in Section 4.01.
    Section 2.04.    Records of Investments and Capital.  Each Group Agent shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of the date and amount of each Investment made by the Purchasers in its Group hereunder, the Yield Rate with respect to the related Capital (and each portion thereof), the Yield accrued on such Purchasers’ Capital and each repayment and payment thereof and the Administrative Agent shall record such amounts and dates in the Register pursuant to Section 14.03(c).  The failure to so record any such information or any error in so recording any such information shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Seller hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents to repay the Capital of each Purchaser, together with all Yield accruing thereon and all other Seller Obligations.
    Section 2.05.    Selection of Yield Rates and Tranche Periods.  (a) Subject to the following sentence, each Purchaser’s Capital (including all portions thereof) shall accrue Yield initially based on Daily 1M SOFR plus the applicable SOFR Adjustment.  Thereafter, so long as no Event of Termination has occurred and is continuing, the Seller may from time to time elect to change or continue the type of SOFR Rate and/or Tranche Period borne by the Purchasers’ Capital or, subject to the minimum amount requirement set forth in Section 2.02(a), a portion thereof by notice to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time), one (1) Business Day prior to the expiration of any Tranche Period or Yield Period, as applicable, provided, that there shall not be more than three (3) Term SOFR Tranches outstanding hereunder at any one time, provided, further, that for the avoidance of doubt, any change from Daily 1M SOFR to the Term SOFR Rate and/or any change to a Tranche Period applicable to any Capital (or portion thereof) shall not be effective until the Monthly Settlement 
-8-

Date occurring after the date of such request.  Any such notices requesting the continuation or conversion of any Capital (or any portion thereof) to the Administrative Agent may be given by telephone, telecopy, or other telecommunication device acceptable to the Administrative Agent (which notice shall be irrevocable once given and, if by telephone, shall be promptly confirmed in writing in a manner acceptable to the Administrative Agent).
    (b)    If, by the time required in Section 2.05(a), the Seller fails to select a Tranche Period or SOFR Rate for any Capital (or portion thereof), such Capital (or portion thereof) shall automatically accrue Yield at Daily 1M SOFR plus the applicable SOFR Adjustment for the next occurring Yield Period. 
    Section 2.06.    Defaulting Purchasers.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Purchaser becomes a Defaulting Purchaser, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Purchaser is a Defaulting Purchaser:
    (a)    Commitment Fees (as defined in the Fee Letter) shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Purchaser and each other Purchaser in the same Group.
    (b)    The Commitment and Capital of such Defaulting Purchaser and each other Purchaser in the same Group shall not be included in determining whether the Majority Group Agents have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 14.01); provided, that, except as otherwise provided in Section 14.01, this clause (b) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Purchaser (or other Purchaser in the same Group) in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of such Purchaser or each Purchaser directly affected thereby (if such Purchaser is directly affected thereby).
(c)        In the event that one or more Committed Purchasers fails to fund any portion of its Investments (or the Capital thereof) by 8:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day following the date of the Investment specified in the related Investment Request, the Administrative Agent shall notify each of the other Committed Purchasers not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on such Business Day, and each of the other Committed Purchasers (or the Related Conduit Purchasers on their behalf) shall, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Article VI and pursuant to the other conditions set forth in this Article II, make available to the Seller a supplemental Investment in an amount equal to the lesser of (a) the aggregate Capital of the related Investment Request that was unfunded multiplied by such Committed Purchaser’s Percentage (which for purposes of this clause will not include the aggregate Commitment of the Committed Purchaser failing to make the Investment on such prior Business Day) and (b) the excess of (i) such Committed Purchaser’s Commitment over (ii) the product of such Committed Purchaser’s related Percentage multiplied by all outstanding Commitments (after giving effect to the supplemental Investment on such date).  In the event that the Committed Purchasers that originally failed to fund their Investments in respect of a applicable Investment Request, have not otherwise cured such failure, such supplemental Investments shall be made by wire transfer to the Administrative Agent in 
-9-

Dollars in same day funds no later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day that is two (2) Business Days following the Business Day on which the notice described in the preceding sentence was received by such Committed Purchaser (it being understood that any such request received after 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) shall be deemed to have been received on the next Business Day).  The Administrative Agent will make available to the Seller by wire transfer in same day funds at the account from time to time designated in writing by the Seller to the Administrative Agent the amount of such supplemental Investments no later than 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the day such supplemental Investments are received from the Committed Purchasers.  If any Committed Purchaser which shall have failed to fund its Investment in respect of an Investment Request shall subsequently pay such amount, the Seller shall immediately remit such funds to the Administrative Agent which shall apply such amount pro rata to repay any supplemental Investments made by the other Committed Purchasers (or the related Conduit Purchasers on their behalf) pursuant to this Section 2.06(c).  Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts payable to the account of a Defaulting Purchaser (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity or otherwise) shall be applied by the Servicer first to all other Committed Purchasers on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Investments of such Defaulting Purchaser until such time as all Investments are held by the Committed Purchasers (or the related Conduit Purchasers on their behalf) pro rata in accordance with the Commitments.  Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Purchaser that are applied to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Purchaser pursuant to this Section 2.06(c) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Purchaser, and each Committed Purchaser irrevocably consents hereto.  Subject to Section 14.23, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Purchaser arising from that Committed Purchaser having become a Defaulting Purchaser.  No Defaulting Purchaser or any other Purchaser in the same Group shall be entitled to receive any Commitment Fees (as defined in the Fee Letter) for any period during which that Purchaser is a Defaulting Purchaser (and the Seller shall not be required to pay any such Commitment Fees that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Purchaser or any other Purchaser in the same Group for such period).
    (d)    In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Seller and the Servicer each agrees in writing that a Defaulting Purchaser has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Purchaser to be a Defaulting Purchaser, then on such date such Purchaser shall purchase at par such of the Capital of the other Purchasers as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Purchaser to hold such Capital in accordance with its Percentage; provided, that no adjustments shall be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Seller while such Purchaser was a Defaulting Purchaser, and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Purchaser to Purchaser that is not a Defaulting Purchaser will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Purchaser having been a Defaulting Purchaser.

Article III

Seller Guaranty
    Section 3.01.    Guaranty of Payment.  The Seller hereby absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to each Purchaser, the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties the prompt payment of the Sold Receivables by the related Obligors and all other payment obligations included in the Sold Assets (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”), in each case, in full when due, whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration or otherwise (such guaranty, the “Seller Guaranty”).  The Seller Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection and is a continuing irrevocable guaranty and shall apply to all Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising.  To the extent the obligations of the Seller hereunder with respect to the Seller Guaranty shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason (including because of any applicable state or federal Law relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers) then such obligations of the Seller shall be limited to the maximum amount that is permissible under Applicable Law (whether federal or state or otherwise and including the Bankruptcy Code and any other applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws).
    Section 3.02.    Unconditional Guaranty.  The obligations of the Seller under the Seller Guaranty are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of any Guaranteed Obligations, any Contract, any Transaction Document or any other agreement or instrument referred to therein, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, and irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor.  The Seller agrees that the Seller Guaranty may be enforced by the Administrative Agent or the Purchasers without the necessity at any time of resorting to or exhausting any other security or collateral and without the necessity at any time of having recourse to any of the other Transaction Documents or any collateral, including the Sold Assets, hereafter securing the Guaranteed Obligations, the Seller Obligations or otherwise, and the Seller hereby waives the right to require the Administrative Agent or the Purchasers to make demand on or proceed against any Obligor, any Originator, the Servicer or the Performance Guarantor or any other Person or to require the Administrative Agent or the Purchasers to pursue any other remedy or enforce any other right.  The Seller further agrees that no Person or Governmental Authority shall have any right to request any return or reimbursement of funds from the Administrative Agent or the Purchasers in connection with monies received under or in respect of the Seller Guaranty. The Seller further agrees that nothing contained herein shall prevent the Administrative Agent or the Purchasers from suing on any of the other Transaction Documents or foreclosing its or their, as applicable, security interest in or lien on the Sold Assets, the Seller Collateral or any other collateral securing the Guaranteed Obligations or the Seller Obligations or from exercising any other rights available to it or them, as applicable, under any Transaction Document, or any other instrument of security and the exercise of any of the aforesaid rights and the completion of any foreclosure proceedings shall not constitute a discharge of the Seller’s obligations under the Seller Guaranty; it being the purpose and intent of the Seller that its obligations under the Seller Guaranty shall be absolute, independent and unconditional under any and all circumstances.  Neither the Seller Guaranty nor any remedy for the enforcement thereof shall be impaired, modified, changed or 
-11-

released in any manner whatsoever by an impairment, modification, change, release, increase or limitation of the liability of any Obligor, any Originator, the Servicer or the Performance Guarantor or by reason of the bankruptcy or insolvency of any Obligor, any Originator, the Servicer or the Performance Guarantor.  The Seller hereby waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension, accrual, or increase of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser on the Seller Guaranty or acceptance of the Seller Guaranty.  All dealings between any Obligor, any Originator, the Servicer, the Performance Guarantor or the Seller, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers, on the other hand, shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon the Seller Guaranty.  The Seller hereby represents and warrants that it is, and immediately after giving effect to the Seller Guaranty and the obligation evidenced hereby, will be, Solvent.  The Seller Guaranty and the obligations of the Seller under the Seller Guaranty shall be valid and enforceable and shall not be subject to any limitation, impairment or discharge for any reason (other than payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations), including the occurrence of any of the following, whether or not the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser shall have had notice or knowledge of any of them:  (A) any failure to assert or enforce or agreement not to assert or enforce, or the stay or enjoining, by order of court, by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise or enforcement of, any claim or demand or any right, power or remedy with respect to the Sold Assets or the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any guaranty of or other security for the payment of the Sold Assets or the Guaranteed Obligations, (B) any waiver, amendment or modification of, or any consent to departure from, any of the terms or provisions (including provisions relating to Termination Events) of any Transaction Document or any agreement or instrument executed pursuant thereto, or of any guaranty or other security for the Sold Assets or the Guaranteed Obligations, (C) to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any agreement relating thereto, at any time being found to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect, (D) the application of payments received from any source to the payment of Indebtedness other than the Guaranteed Obligations, even though the Administrative Agent might have elected to apply such payment to any part or all of the Guaranteed Obligations, (E) any failure to perfect or continue perfection of a security interest in any of the Sold Assets or other Seller Collateral, (F) any defenses, set-offs or counterclaims which the Seller, any Originator, the Servicer, the Performance Guarantor or any Obligor may allege or assert against the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser in respect of the Sold Assets or the Guaranteed Obligations, including failure of consideration, breach of warranty, payment, statute of frauds, statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction and usury, and (G) any other act or thing or omission, or delay to do any other act or thing, which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of the Seller as an obligor in respect of the Sold Assets or the Guaranteed Obligations.
    Section 3.03.    Modifications.  The Seller agrees that: (a) all or any part of any security interest, lien, collateral security or supporting obligation now or hereafter held for any Guaranteed Obligation may be exchanged, compromised or surrendered from time to time; (b) none of the Purchasers or the Administrative Agent shall have any obligation to protect, perfect, secure or insure any security interest or lien now or hereafter held, if any, for the Guaranteed Obligations; (c) the time or place of payment of any Guaranteed Obligation may be changed or extended, in whole or in part, to a time certain or otherwise, and may be renewed or accelerated, in whole or in part; (d) any Obligor, any Originator, the Seller, the Servicer or the 
-12-

Performance Guarantor and any other party (including any co-guarantor) liable for payment of any Guaranteed Obligation may be granted indulgences generally; (e) any of the provisions of Contracts or any other agreements or documents governing or giving rise to any Guaranteed Obligation may be modified, amended or waived; and (f) any deposit balance for the credit of any Obligor, any Originator, the Servicer, the Performance Guarantor or the Seller or any other party (including any co-guarantor) liable for the payment of any Guaranteed Obligation or liable upon any security therefor may be released, in whole or in part, at, before or after the stated, extended or accelerated maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations, in each case without notice to or further assent by the Seller, which shall remain bound thereon, notwithstanding any such exchange, compromise, surrender, extension, renewal, acceleration, modification, indulgence or release.
    Section 3.04.    Waiver of Rights.  The Seller expressly waives to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law: (a) notice of acceptance of the Seller Guaranty by the Purchasers and the Administrative Agent; (b) presentment and demand for payment or performance of any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (c) protest and notice of dishonor or of default (except as specifically required in this Agreement) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or with respect to any security therefor; (d) notice of the Purchasers or the Administrative Agent obtaining, amending, substituting for, releasing, waiving or modifying any security interest or lien, if any, hereafter securing the Guaranteed Obligations, or the Purchasers or the Administrative Agent subordinating, compromising, discharging or releasing such security interests or liens, if any; (e) all other notices, demands, presentments, protests or any agreement or instrument related to the Sold Assets or the Guaranteed Obligations to which the Seller might otherwise be entitled; (f) any right to require the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser as a condition of payment or performance by the Seller, to (i) proceed against any Obligor, any Originator, the Servicer, the Performance Guarantor or any other Person, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any other security held from any Obligor, any Originator, the Servicer, the Performance Guarantor or any other Person, (iii) proceed against or have resort to any balance of any deposit account, securities account or credit on the books of the Administrative Agent, the Purchasers or any other Person, or (iv) pursue any other remedy in the power of the Administrative Agent or the Purchasers whatsoever; (g) any defense arising by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority or any disability or other defense of any Obligor, any Originator, the Servicer, the Performance Guarantor or any other Person including any defense based on or arising out of the lack of validity or the unenforceability of the Sold Assets or the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or by reason of the cessation of the liability of any Obligor, any Originator, the Servicer, the Performance Guarantor or any other Person from any cause other than payment in full of the Sold Assets and the Guaranteed Obligations; (h) any defense based upon any Applicable Law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal; (i) any defense based upon the Administrative Agent’s or any Purchaser’s errors or omissions in the administration of the Sold Assets or the Guaranteed Obligations; (j) (i) any principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, which are or might be in conflict with the terms of this Agreement and any legal or equitable discharge of the Sold Assets or the Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting the Seller’s liability under the Seller Guaranty or the enforcement of the Seller Guaranty, (iii) any rights to set-offs, recoupments and counterclaims, and (iv) promptness, diligence and any requirement that the 
-13-

Administrative Agent and the Purchasers protect, secure, perfect or insure any other security interest or lien or any property subject thereto; and (k) to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by Applicable Law which limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, or which may conflict with the terms of this Agreement and the Seller Guaranty.
    Section 3.05.    Reinstatement.  Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, the obligations of the Seller under this Article III shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of any Person in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, and the Seller agrees that it will indemnify Administrative Agent and each Purchaser on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable fees of counsel) incurred by such Person in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.
    Section 3.06.    Remedies.  The Seller agrees that, as between the Seller, on the one hand, and Administrative Agent and the Purchasers, on the other hand, the Guaranteed Obligations may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Article IX (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in Article IX) notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or preventing such Guaranteed Obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against any other Person and that, in the event of such declaration (or such Guaranteed Obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not due and payable by any other Person) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Seller.
    Section 3.07.    Subrogation.  The Seller hereby waives all rights of subrogation (whether contractual or otherwise) to the claims of the Administrative Agent, the Purchasers and the other Secured Parties against any Obligor, any Originator, the Servicer, the Performance Guarantor or any other Person in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations until such time as all Guaranteed Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash and the Final Payout Date has occurred.  The Seller further agrees that, to the extent such waiver of its rights of subrogation is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason, any rights of subrogation shall be junior and subordinate to any rights the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser may have against any Obligor, any Originator, the Servicer, the Performance Guarantor or any other Person in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations.
    Section 3.08.    Inducement.  The Purchasers have been induced to make the Investments under this Agreement in part based upon the Seller Guaranty and the Seller desires that the Seller Guaranty be honored and enforced as separate obligations of the Seller, should Administrative Agent and the Purchasers desire to do so.
-14-

    Section 3.09.    Security Interest.  (a) To secure the prompt payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Seller Guaranty and all other Seller Obligations, the Seller hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Purchasers and the other Secured Parties, a continuing security interest in and lien upon all property and assets of the Seller, whether now or hereafter owned, existing or arising and wherever located, including the following (collectively, the “Seller Collateral”): 
    (i)    all Unsold Receivables;
    (ii)    all Related Security with respect to such Unsold Receivables;
    (iii)    all Collections with respect to such Unsold Receivables;
    (iv)    the Lock-Boxes and Collection Accounts, other than the Excluded Collection Accounts and all amounts on deposit therein, and all certificates and instruments, if any, from time to time evidencing such Lock-Boxes and Collection Accounts other than the Excluded Collection Accounts and amounts on deposit therein;
    (v)    all rights (but none of the obligations) of the Seller under the Purchase and Sale Agreement; 
    (vi)    all other personal and fixture property or assets of the Seller of every kind and nature including, without limitation, all goods (including inventory, equipment and any accessions thereto), instruments (including promissory notes), documents, accounts, chattel paper (whether tangible or electronic), deposit accounts, securities accounts, securities entitlements, letter-of-credit rights, commercial tort claims, securities and all other investment property, supporting obligations, money, any other contract rights or rights to the payment of money, insurance claims and proceeds, and all general intangibles (including all payment intangibles) (each as defined in the UCC); 
(vii) the Pledged Investment Account and all Permitted Investments contained therein, the Pledged Deposit Account, and all amounts on deposit therein, and all certificates and instruments, if any, from time to time evidencing the Pledged Investment Account and the Pledged Deposit Account; and
(viii)    all proceeds of, and all amounts received or receivable under any or all of, the foregoing;
 provided, notwithstanding the foregoing or any provision of any Transaction Document, none of the Administrative Agent, any Purchaser Party or any beneficiary thereof shall have the right to hold, review, view, audit or otherwise possess (x) any Contract; or (y) any financial reporting or other books or records specifically relating to such Contract and the Receivables generated thereunder, the disclosure of which is precluded by the applicable terms of such Contract, provided, further, however, that during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Termination, to the extent that the related Obligor has defaulted in the payment of any Receivable, upon the request of the Administrative Agent the Seller shall provide the 
-15-

Administrative Agent with such information reasonably requested with respect to any such Contract (which may be redacted versions of or excerpts of any Contract) to the extent needed for the Administrative Agent to enforce such Contract against the applicable Obligor.
    (b)    The Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) shall have, with respect to all the Seller Collateral, and in addition to all the other rights and remedies available to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties), all the rights and remedies of a secured party under any applicable UCC.  The Seller hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to file financing statements describing the collateral covered thereby as “all of the debtor’s personal property or assets” or words to that effect, notwithstanding that such wording may be broader in scope than the collateral described in this Agreement.
    (c)    Immediately upon the occurrence of the Final Payout Date, the Seller Collateral shall be automatically released from the lien created hereby, and this Agreement and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of the Administrative Agent, the Purchasers and the other Purchaser Parties hereunder shall terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party, and all rights to the Seller Collateral shall revert to the Seller; provided, however, that promptly following written request therefor by the Seller delivered to the Administrative Agent following any such termination, and at the expense of the Seller, the Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver to the Seller UCC-3 termination statements and such other documents as the Seller shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.
    (d)    For the avoidance of doubt, the grant of security interest pursuant to this Section 3.09 shall be in addition to, and shall not be construed to limit or modify, the sale of Sold Assets pursuant to Section 2.01(b) or the Seller’s grant of security interest pursuant to Section 5.05.
    Section 3.10.    Further Assurances.  Promptly upon request, the Seller shall deliver such instruments, assignments or other documents or agreements, and shall take such actions, as the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser deems appropriate to evidence or perfect its security interest and lien on any of the Seller Collateral or otherwise to give effect to the intent of this Article III.
    Section 3.11.    Release of Seller Collateral and Reconveyance of Certain Sold Receivables.  Contemporaneously with any release and reconveyance of Transferred Assets pursuant to Section 8.4(b) of the Purchase and Sale Agreement, and without any further consideration other than as specified therein, the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Purchasers) agrees to reconvey to Buyer or its designee, all of its rights, title and interest in and to any such Transferred Assets constituting Sold Receivables or Sold Assets and to release any security interest it may have in, and all of its right, title and interest in and to the related Transferred Assets.

Article IV

Settlement Procedures and Payment Provisions
    Section 4.01.    Settlement Procedures.  (a) The Servicer shall set aside and hold in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties (or, if so requested by the Administrative Agent during the continuance of an Event of Termination, segregate in a separate account designated by the Administrative Agent, which shall be an account maintained and controlled by the Administrative Agent unless the Administrative Agent otherwise instructs in its sole discretion), for application in accordance with the priority of payments set forth below, all Collections on Pool Receivables that are received by the Servicer or the Seller or received in any Lock-Box or Collection Account; provided, however, that so long as each of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 6.03 are satisfied on such date, the Servicer may release to the Seller a portion of such Collections (each such release of Collections, a “Release”).  On each Settlement Date, the Servicer (or, following its assumption of control of the Collection Accounts, the Administrative Agent) shall distribute any such Collections not previously Released in the following order of priority:
    (i)    first, to the Servicer for the payment of the accrued Servicing Fees payable for the immediately preceding Yield Period (plus, if applicable, the amount of Servicing Fees payable for any prior Yield Period to the extent such amount has not been distributed to the Servicer);
    (ii)    second, to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Purchaser and other Purchaser Party (ratably, based on the amount then due and owing), all accrued and unpaid Yield, Fees and Breakage Fees due to such Purchaser and other Purchaser Party for the immediately preceding Yield Period (including any additional amounts or indemnified amounts payable under Sections 5.03 and 13.01 in respect of such payments), plus, if applicable, the amount of any such Yield, Fees and Breakage Fees (including any additional amounts or indemnified amounts payable under Sections 5.03 and 13.01 in respect of such payments) payable for any prior Yield Period to the extent such amount has not been distributed to such Purchaser or Purchaser Party;
    (iii)    third, as set forth in clause (x), (y) or (z) below, as applicable:
    (x)    prior to the occurrence of the Termination Date, to the extent that a Capital Coverage Deficit exists on such date, to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Purchaser (ratably, based on the aggregate outstanding Capital of each Purchaser at such time) for the return of a portion of the outstanding Aggregate Capital at such time, in an aggregate amount equal to the amount necessary to reduce the Capital Coverage Deficit to zero ($0); 
    (y)    on and after the occurrence of the Termination Date, to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Purchaser (ratably, based on the aggregate outstanding Capital of each Purchaser at such time) for the return in full of the aggregate outstanding Capital of such Purchaser at such time; or

    (z)    prior to the occurrence of the Termination Date, at the election of the Seller and in accordance with Section 2.02(d), to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Purchaser (ratably, based on the aggregate outstanding Capital of each Purchaser at such time) for the return of all or any portion of the outstanding Capital of the Purchasers at such time;
    (iv)    fourth, to the Purchaser Parties, the Affected Persons and the Seller Indemnified Parties (ratably, based on the amount due and owing at such time), for the payment of all other Seller Obligations then due and owing by the Seller to the Purchaser Parties, the Affected Persons and the Seller Indemnified Parties; and
    (v)    fifth, the balance, if any, to be paid to the Seller for its own account.
Amounts payable pursuant to clauses first through fifth above shall be paid first from available Collections on Sold Receivables and other Sold Assets, and second, to the extent necessary in order to make all such payments in full, from Collections on Unsold Receivables and other Seller Collateral.  The Seller’s right to receive payments (if any) from time to time pursuant to clause fifth above shall, to the extent arising from Collections on Sold Receivables, constitute compensation to the Seller for the Seller’s provision of the Seller Guaranty of the Purchaser Parties’ interests in the Seller Collateral.
    (b)    All payments or distributions to be made by the Servicer, the Seller and any other Person to the Purchasers (or their respective related Affected Persons and the Seller Indemnified Parties), shall be paid or distributed to the related Group Agent at its Group Agent’s Account.  Each Group Agent, upon its receipt in the applicable Group Agent’s Account of any such payments or distributions, shall distribute such amounts to the applicable Purchasers, Affected Persons and the Seller Indemnified Parties within its Group ratably; provided that if such Group Agent shall have received insufficient funds to pay all of the above amounts in full on any such date, such Group Agent shall pay such amounts to the applicable Purchasers, Affected Persons and the Seller Indemnified Parties within its Group in accordance with the priority of payments set forth above, and with respect to any such category above for which there are insufficient funds to pay all amounts owing on such date, ratably (based on the amounts in such categories owing to each such Person in such Group) among all such Persons in such Group entitled to payment thereof.
    (c)    If and to the extent the Administrative Agent, any Purchaser Party, any Affected Person or any Seller Indemnified Party shall be required for any reason to pay over to any Person (including any Obligor or any trustee, receiver, custodian or similar official in any Insolvency Proceeding) any amount received on its behalf hereunder, such amount shall be deemed not to have been so received but rather to have been retained by the Seller and, accordingly, the Administrative Agent, such Purchaser Party, such Affected Person or such Seller Indemnified Party, as the case may be, shall have a claim against the Seller for such amount.
    (d)    For the purposes of this Section 4.01:
-18-

    (i)    if on any day the Outstanding Balance of any Pool Receivable is reduced or adjusted as a result of any defective, rejected, returned, repossessed or foreclosed goods, licenses or services, or any revision, cancellation, allowance, rebate, credit memo, discount or other adjustment made by the Seller, any Originator, the Servicer or any Affiliate of the Servicer, or any setoff, counterclaim or dispute between the Seller, any Originator, the Servicer or any Affiliate of the Servicer and an Obligor, the Seller shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection of such Pool Receivable in the amount of such reduction or adjustment and shall pay any and all such amounts in respect thereof on the next Settlement Date, or after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Termination, within two (2) Business Days, to a Collection Account subject to an Account Control Agreement (or as otherwise directed by the Administrative Agent at such time) for the benefit of the Purchaser Parties for application pursuant to Section 4.01(a);
    (ii)    if on any day any of the representations or warranties in Sections 7.01(m) or 7.01(u) is not true with respect to any Pool Receivable, the Seller shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection of such Pool Receivable in full and shall pay the amount of such deemed Collection on the next Settlement Date, or after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Termination, within two (2) Business Days, to a Collection Account subject to an Account Control Agreement (or as otherwise directed by the Administrative Agent at such time) for the benefit of the Purchaser Parties for application pursuant to Section 4.01(a) (Collections deemed to have been received pursuant to Section 4.01(d) are hereinafter sometimes referred to as “Deemed Collections”);
    (iii)    except as provided in clauses (i) or (ii) above or otherwise required by Applicable Law or the relevant Contract, all Collections received from an Obligor of any Receivable shall be applied to the Receivables of such Obligor in the order of the age of such Receivables, starting with the oldest such Receivable, unless such Obligor designates in writing its payment for application to specific Receivables; and
    (iv)    if and to the extent the Administrative Agent, any Purchaser Party, any Affected Person or any Seller Indemnified Party shall be required for any reason to pay over to an Obligor (or any trustee, receiver, custodian or similar official in any Insolvency Proceeding) any amount received by it hereunder, such amount shall be deemed not to have been so received by such Person but rather to have been retained by the Seller and, accordingly, such Person shall have a claim against the Seller for such amount, payable when and to the extent that any distribution from or on behalf of such Obligor is made in respect thereof.
    Section 4.02.    Payments and Computations, Etc.  (a) All amounts to be paid by the Seller or the Servicer to the Administrative Agent, any Purchaser Party, any Affected Person or any Seller Indemnified Party hereunder shall be paid no later than noon (New York City time) on the day when due in same day funds to the applicable Group Agent’s Account.
-19-

    (b)    All computations of Yield, Fees and other amounts hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days (or, in the case of amounts determined by reference to the Base Rate, 365 or 366 days, as applicable) for the actual number of days (including the first but excluding the last day) elapsed.  Whenever any payment or deposit to be made hereunder shall be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment or deposit shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of such payment or deposit.
Article V

Increased Costs; Funding Losses; Taxes; Illegality and
Back-Up Security Interest
    Section 5.01.    Increased Costs.
    (a)    Increased Costs Generally.  If any Change in Law shall:
    (i)    impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, liquidity, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Affected Person (except any such reserve requirements reflected in the Term SOFR Rate or Daily 1M SOFR);
    (ii)    subject any Affected Person to any Taxes (except to the extent such Taxes are (A) Indemnified Taxes for which relief is sought under Section 5.03, (B) Taxes described in clause (b) or (c) of the definition of Excluded Taxes or (C) Other Connection Taxes that are imposed on or measured by net income (however denominated) or that are franchise Taxes or branch profits Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or
    (iii)    impose on any Affected Person any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) (A) affecting the Sold Assets, the Seller Collateral, this Agreement, any other Transaction Document, any Program Support Agreement, any Capital or any participation therein or (B) affecting its obligations or rights to make Investments or fund or maintain Capital;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Affected Person of (A) acting as the Administrative Agent, a Group Agent or a Purchaser hereunder or as a Program Support Provider with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, (B) making any Investment or funding or maintaining any Capital (or any portion thereof) or (C) maintaining its obligation to make any Investment or to fund or maintain any Capital (or any portion thereof), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Affected Person hereunder, then, upon request of such Affected Person (or its Group Agent), the Seller shall pay to such Affected Person such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Person for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
-20-

    (b)    Capital and Liquidity Requirements.  If any Affected Person determines that any Change in Law affecting such Affected Person or any lending office of such Affected Person or such Affected Person’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of (x) increasing the amount of capital required to be maintained by such Affected Person or Affected Person’s holding company, if any, or increasing the amount of high quality liquid assets such Affected Person or Affected Person’s holding company, if any, is required to maintain as a result of any funding commitment made by such Affected Person under any Transaction Document, (y) reducing the rate of return on such Affected Person’s capital or on the capital of such Affected Person’s holding company, if any, or (z) causing an internal capital or liquidity charge or other imputed cost to be assessed upon such Affected Person or Affected Person’s holding company, if any, in each case, as a consequence of (A) this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, (B) the commitments of such Affected Person hereunder or under any other Transaction Document or any related Program Support Agreement, (C) the Investments made by such Affected Person, or (D) any Capital (or portion thereof), to a level below that which such Affected Person or such Affected Person’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Affected Person’s policies and the policies of such Affected Person’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time, upon request of such Affected Person (or its Group Agent), the Seller will pay to such Affected Person such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Person or such Affected Person’s holding company for any such increase, reduction or charge.
    (c)    Reserved.
    (d)    Certificates for Reimbursement.  A certificate of an Affected Person (or its Group Agent on its behalf) setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Affected Person or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in clause (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Seller, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The Seller shall, subject to the priorities of payment set forth in Section 4.01, pay such Affected Person the amount shown as due on any such certificate on the first Settlement Date occurring after the Seller’s receipt of such certificate.
    (e)    Delay in Requests.  Failure or delay on the part of any Affected Person to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Affected Person’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Seller shall not be required to compensate an Affected Person pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six months prior to the date that such Affected Person notifies the Seller of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Affected Person’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).
    (f)    Anything in Section 5.01(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, if any Affected Person enters into agreements for the acquisition of interests in receivables, notes or other financial assets from one or more Persons, other than the Seller, that has entered into a receivables purchase agreement, receivables transfer agreement, loan agreement or funding agreement with 
-21-

such Person (each, an “Other Seller”) (or to provide liquidity or credit support therefor), such Affected Person shall ratably allocate the liability for any amounts under this Section 5.01(f), which are generally imposed on or applicable to such Affected Person, to the Seller and each Other Seller; provided, however, that if such amounts are solely attributable to the Seller and not attributable to any Other Seller, as determined in such Affected Person’s reasonable discretion, the Seller shall be solely liable for such amounts or if such amounts are attributable to Other Sellers and not attributable to the Seller, as determined in such Affected Person’s reasonable discretion, such Other Sellers shall be solely liable for such amounts.  Any Affected Person claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to Section 5.01(a) agrees to use its reasonable efforts to designate a different office or branch of such Affected Person as its lending office if the making of such a designation would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts to be paid by the Seller, so long as any such designation is not otherwise disadvantageous to such Affected Person.
    (g)    Upon the receipt by the Seller of a claim for reimbursement or compensation under Section 5.01(a) by an Affected Person, if payment thereof shall not be waived by such Affected Person, the Seller shall request one or more of the other Purchasers in such Affected Person’s Group, with the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Group Agent for such Group (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld), to acquire and assume all or a part of such Affected Person’s rights and obligations (if any) hereunder (a “Replacement Person”) and if no such other Purchaser in such Affected Person’s Group shall become the Replacement Person, the Seller shall request such claiming Affected Person’s Group Agent to use commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Seller at the Seller’s sole expense, to attempt to obtain a replacement bank, financial institution or commercial paper conduit, as applicable, satisfactory to the Seller and consented to by the Administrative Agent and the Group Agent for the applicable Group (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld), to become the Replacement Person.  Upon notice from the Seller, an Affected Person being replaced hereunder shall assign, without recourse, its rights and obligations (if any) hereunder, or a ratable share thereof, to the Replacement Person or Replacement Persons designated and consented to as provided in this Section 5.01(g) for a purchase price equal to the sum of the amount of such Affected Person’s aggregate outstanding Capital at such time or interests therein so assigned, all accrued and unpaid Yield thereon and any other amounts (including fees and any amounts owing under this Section 5.01) to which such Affected Person is entitled hereunder; provided, that the Seller shall have paid all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by any Affected Person in connection with any such designation or assignment.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) no Affected Person which is a Group Agent may be replaced pursuant to this Section 5.01 unless (A) it has consented to such replacement or (B) a successor for such Group Agent has been duly appointed and such Group Agent shall have received payment of all amounts to which it is entitled hereunder; (ii) the Seller need not make any request under this Section 5.01(g) if the replacement of any claiming Affected Person would be more economically or administratively burdensome on the Seller or Servicer than not replacing such Affected Person or if such replacement would be unlawful, and (iii) no Affected Person shall be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Affected Person or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Seller to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
-22-

    Section 5.02.    Funding Losses.  (a) The Seller will pay each Purchaser all Breakage Fees.
    (b)    A certificate of a Purchaser (or its Group Agent on its behalf) setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Purchaser, as specified in clause (a) above and delivered to the Seller, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The Seller shall, subject to the priorities of payment set forth in Section 4.01, pay such Purchaser the amount shown as due on any such certificate on the first Settlement Date occurring after the Seller’s receipt of such certificate.
    Section 5.03.    Taxes.  (a) Payments Free of Taxes.  Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the 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 the Seller or applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment to a Purchaser Party, Affected Person or Seller Indemnified Party, then the Seller or 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 the 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 applicable Purchaser Party, Affected Person or Seller Indemnified Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
    (b)    Payment of Other Taxes by the Seller.  The Seller shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or, at the option of the Administrative Agent, timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
    (c)    Indemnification by the Seller.  The Seller shall indemnify each Affected Person, within ten days after demand therefor, for the full amount of (i) any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Affected Person or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Affected Person and any penalties, interest and 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 and (ii) incremental Taxes that arise solely because an Investment or any Capital is successfully treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a purchase and sale of the Sold Receivables rather than as debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes (a “Tax Recharacterization”), such indemnification will apply to any U.S. federal income taxes imposed, as necessary to make such Affected Person whole on an after tax basis taking into account the taxability of receipt of payments under this clause (ii) and any reasonable expenses (other than Taxes) solely arising out of the foregoing; provided, (1) that if the applicable Affected Person fails to give notice to the Seller of the imposition of any Indemnified Tax or Tax Recharacterization described in clause (ii) of this paragraph (c) within 120 days following its receipt of actual written notice of the imposition of such Tax, there will be no obligation for the Seller to pay interest or penalties attributable to the period beginning after such 120th day and ending 7 days after the Seller receives notice from the applicable Affected Person and (2) if the applicable Affected Person fails to give notice of a Tax 
-23-

Recharacterization described in clause (ii) of this paragraph (c) and such failure to notify the Seller materially prejudices the Seller’s ability to contest or challenge the Tax Recharacterization then no such incremental Taxes shall be owing and payable to such Affected Person.  For purposes of calculating any indemnity under the foregoing clause (ii), it shall be assumed that each beneficial owner of an Investment or of any Capital is (A) entitled to, and will take full advantage of the benefits of any double taxation treaty between the United States and such party’s jurisdiction of organization or jurisdiction of operations (as applicable) and (B) will comply with all required documentation or certification requirements that would be necessary to achieve a reduced or to eliminate any otherwise applicable U.S. federal withholding taxes that would apply to such party.  In addition, the foregoing clause (ii) shall be the sole provision in this Agreement pursuant to which any beneficial owner of an Investment or Capital may seek an indemnity in the event of the successful treatment of an Investment or any Capital in a manner other than that described in the Intended Tax Treatment.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Seller by an Affected Person (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of an Affected Person, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
    (d)    Indemnification by the Purchasers.  Each Purchaser (other than the Conduit Purchasers) shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Purchaser, its Related Conduit Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates that are Affected Persons (but only to the extent that the Seller and its Affiliates have not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting any obligation of the Seller, the Servicer or their Affiliates to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to the failure of such Purchaser, its Related Conduit Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates that are Affected Persons to comply with Section 14.03(f) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Purchaser, its Related Conduit Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates that are Affected Persons, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Transaction Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such 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 any Purchaser (or its Group Agent) by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Each Purchaser (other than the Conduit Purchasers) hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Purchaser, its Related Conduit Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates that are Affected Persons under any Transaction Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to such Purchaser, its Related Conduit Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates that are Affected Persons from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this clause (d).
    (e)    Evidence of Payments.  As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Seller to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 5.03, the Seller shall deliver to the Administrative Agent 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 Administrative Agent.
-24-

    (f)    Status of Affected Persons.  (i) Any Affected Person that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Transaction Document shall deliver to the Seller and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Seller or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Seller or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.  In addition, any Affected Person, if reasonably requested by the Seller or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Seller or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Seller or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Affected Person 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 Sections 5.03(f)(ii)(A), 5.03(f)(ii)(B) and 5.03(g)) shall not be required if, in the Affected Person’s reasonable judgment, such completion, execution or submission would subject such Affected Person to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Affected Person.
    (ii)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:
    (A)    an Affected Person that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Seller and the Administrative Agent from time to time upon the reasonable request of the Seller or the Administrative Agent, executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying that such Affected Person is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;
    (B)    any Affected Person that is not a U.S. Person shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Seller and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the Affected Person) from time to time upon the reasonable request of the Seller or the Administrative Agent, whichever of the following is applicable:
    (1)    in the case of such an Affected Person claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party, (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Transaction Document, executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Transaction Document, Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;
    (2)    executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI;
-25-

    (3)    in the case of such an Affected Person claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Affected Person is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Seller within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable; or
    (4)    to the extent such Affected Person is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY, accompanied by Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that, if such Affected Person is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Affected Person are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Affected Person may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; and
    (C)    any Affected Person that is not a U.S. Person shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Seller and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient), from time to time upon the reasonable request of the Seller or the Administrative Agent, executed copies of any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the Seller or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.
    (g)    Documentation Required by FATCA.  If a payment made to an Affected Person under any Transaction Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Affected Person 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), such Affected Person shall deliver to the Seller and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Seller or the Administrative Agent 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 or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Seller and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Affected Person has complied with such Affected Person’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this clause (g), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
-26-

    (h)    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 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section), 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 and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax 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.
    (i)    Survival.  Each party’s obligations under this Section 5.03 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Purchaser Party or any other Affected person, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the Seller Obligations and the Servicer’s obligations hereunder.
    (j)    Updates.  Each Affected Person agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to this Section 5.03 expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Seller and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
    Section 5.04.    Inability to Determine SOFR Rate; Change in Legality.  (a) If any Purchaser shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto absent manifest error) before the first day of any Yield Period (with respect to the SOFR Rate determined by reference to the Term SOFR Rate) or on any day (with respect to the SOFR Rate determined by reference to Daily 1M SOFR), either that:  (i) the SOFR Rate cannot be determined because it is not available or published on a current basis, (ii) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the SOFR Rate for such Tranche Period, Yield Period or day, as applicable, or (iii) the SOFR Rate determined pursuant hereto does not accurately reflect the cost to the applicable Purchaser (as conclusively determined by such Purchaser) of funding or maintaining any Portion of Capital during such Tranche Period, Yield Period or day, as applicable, such Purchaser shall promptly give telephonic notice of such determination, confirmed in writing, to the Administrative Agent and the Seller before the first day of any Yield Period (with respect to the SOFR Rate determined by reference to the Term SOFR Rate) or on such day (with respect to the SOFR Rate determined by reference to Daily 1M 
-27-

SOFR).  Upon delivery of such notice: (i) no Portion of Capital shall be funded thereafter at the SOFR Rate, and shall instead be funded at the Base Rate, unless and until such Purchaser shall have given notice to the Seller and the Administrative Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist and (ii) with respect to any outstanding Portion of Capital then funded at the SOFR Rate, the Yield Rate with respect to such Portion of Capital shall automatically be converted to the Base Rate on the last day of the then-current Yield Period (with respect to the SOFR Rate determined by reference to the Term SOFR Rate) or immediately (with respect to the SOFR Rate determined by reference to Daily 1M SOFR). 
    (b)    If at any time any time any Purchaser shall have determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive absent manifest error) that the funding or maintenance of any Portion of Capital at or by reference to the SOFR Rate has been made impracticable or unlawful by compliance by such Purchaser in good faith with any Applicable Law or any interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority or with any request or directive of any such Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), such Purchaser shall notify the Seller and the Administrative Agent thereof.  Upon receipt of such notice, until the applicable Purchaser notifies the Seller and the Administrative Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer apply, (i) no Portion of Capital shall be funded thereafter at the SOFR Rate, and shall instead be funded at the Base Rate, unless and until such Purchaser shall have given notice to the Administrative Agent and the Seller that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist and (ii) with respect to any outstanding Portion of Capital then funded at the SOFR Rate, the Yield Rate with respect to such Portion of Capital shall automatically and immediately be converted to the Base Rate.
    (c)    (i)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document (and any Hedging Agreement shall be deemed not to be a “Transaction Document” for purposes of this Section), if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then the Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any other 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 Seller and the Purchasers without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Purchasers comprising the Majority Purchasers.
    (ii)    In connection with the implementation and administration of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time 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; provided, that any such amendment implementing such Conforming Changes that results in any incremental material cost or expense for the Seller will not become effective without the consent of the Seller.
-28-

    (iii)    The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Seller and the Purchasers of (A) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date, (B) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (C) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes, (D) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to paragraph (iv) below and (E) the commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Purchaser (or group of Purchasers) pursuant to this Section, 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 or their 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.
    (iv)    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), (A) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate and either (I) 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 Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (II) 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 or will be no longer representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Tranche Period” or “Yield Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (B) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (A) above either (I) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (II) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Tranche Period” or “Yield Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.
    (v)    Upon the Seller’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Seller may revoke any request for an Investment, or a conversion to or continuation of Capital, accruing Yield at the SOFR Rate to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Seller will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for an Investment, or a conversion of Capital to Capital, accruing Yield at the Base Rate, and, for the avoidance of doubt, all outstanding Capital accruing Yield at the SOFR Rate shall automatically be converted to Capital accruing Yield at the Base Rate. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the 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 Base Rate.
    (vi)    As used in this Section: 
                “Available Tenor” means, as of any date of determination and with respect to the then-current Benchmark, as applicable, (x) if the then-current Benchmark is 
-29-

a term rate or is based on a term rate, any tenor for such Benchmark that is or may be used for determining the length of a Tranche Period or Yield Period or (y) otherwise, any payment period for Yield calculated with reference to such Benchmark, as applicable, pursuant to this Agreement as of such date.

“Benchmark” means, initially, the SOFR Rate; provided that if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to the SOFR Rate or the then-current Benchmark, then “Benchmark” means the applicable Benchmark Replacement to the extent that such Benchmark Replacement has replaced such prior benchmark rate pursuant to this Section. Any reference to “Benchmark” shall include, as applicable, the published component used in the calculation thereof.

“Benchmark Replacement” means, for any Available Tenor, the sum of (A) the alternate benchmark rate that has been selected by the Administrative Agent and the Seller as the replacement for the then-current Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor giving due consideration to any evolving or then-prevailing market convention, including any applicable recommendations made by the Relevant Governmental Body, for U.S. dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities at such time and (B) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment; 

provided that if the Benchmark Replacement as so determined above would be less than the Floor, the Benchmark Replacement will be deemed to be the Floor for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and provided further, that any such Benchmark Replacement shall be administratively feasible as determined by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion.

“Benchmark Replacement Adjustment” means, with respect to any replacement of the then-current Benchmark with an Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for any applicable Available Tenor for any setting of such Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected by the Administrative Agent and the Seller for the applicable Corresponding Tenor giving due consideration to any evolving or then-prevailing market convention, including any applicable recommendations made by the Relevant Governmental Body, for U.S. dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities at such time; provided that, if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate, more than one tenor of such Benchmark is available as of the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date and the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement will not be a term rate, the Available Tenor of such Benchmark for purposes of this definition of “Benchmark Replacement Adjustment” shall be deemed to be the Available Tenor that has approximately the same length (disregarding business day adjustments) as the payment period for interest calculated with reference to such Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement.

“Benchmark Replacement Date” means a date and time determined by the Administrative Agent, which date shall be at the end of a Tranche Period, Yield Period or day (as applicable) and no later than the earliest to occur of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:  

(1) in the case of clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the later of (A) the date of the public statement or publication 
-30-

of information referenced therein and (B) the date on which the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) permanently or indefinitely ceases to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof); or
(2) in the case of clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the date determined by the Administrative Agent, which date shall promptly follow the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein; 
For the avoidance of doubt, (i) if the event giving rise to the Benchmark Replacement Date occurs on the same day as, but earlier than, the Reference Time in respect of any determination, the Benchmark Replacement Date will be deemed to have occurred prior to the Reference Time for such determination and (ii) the “Benchmark Replacement Date” will be deemed to have occurred in the case of clause (1) or (2) with respect to any Benchmark upon the occurrence of the applicable event or events set forth therein with respect to all then-current Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof). 
    “Benchmark Transition Event” means, the occurrence of one or more of the following events, with respect to any then-current Benchmark:

(1)    a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) announcing that such administrator has ceased or will cease to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof), permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof);
(2)    a public statement or publication of information by a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent, the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof), the Federal Reserve Board, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component), a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component) or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component), which states that the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component) has ceased or will cease to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof); or
(3)    a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent announcing that all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) are no longer representative.
-31-

For the avoidance of doubt, a “Benchmark Transition Event” will be deemed to have occurred with respect to any Benchmark if a public statement or publication of information set forth above has occurred with respect to each then-current Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).

“Benchmark Unavailability Period” means the period (if any) (x) beginning at the time that a Benchmark Replacement Date pursuant to clauses (1) or (2) of that definition has occurred if, at such time, no Benchmark Replacement has replaced the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Transaction Document in accordance with this Section and (y) ending at the time that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Transaction Document in accordance with this Section.

“Corresponding Tenor” with respect to any Available Tenor means, as applicable, either a tenor (including overnight) or an interest payment period having approximately the same length (disregarding business day adjustment) as such Available Tenor.

“Floor” means the benchmark rate floor, if any, provided in this Agreement initially (as of the execution of this Agreement, the modification, amendment or renewal of this Agreement or otherwise) with respect to the SOFR Rate or, if no floor is specified, zero. 

“Reference Time” means, with respect to any setting of the then-current Benchmark, the time determined by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion.

“Relevant Governmental Body” means the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or a committee officially endorsed or convened by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or any successor thereto. 

“Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement” means the applicable Benchmark Replacement excluding the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment. 
    Section 5.05.    Back-Up Security Interest.  (a) If, notwithstanding the intent of the parties stated in Section 2.01(c), the sale, assignment and transfer of any Sold Assets to the Administrative Agent (for the ratable benefit of the Purchasers) hereunder (including pursuant to Section 2.01(b)) is not treated as a sale for all purposes (except as provided in Sections 2.01(d) and 14.14), then such sale, assignment and transfer of such Sold Assets shall be treated as the grant of a security interest by the Seller to the Administrative Agent (for the ratable benefit of the Purchasers) to secure the payment and performance of all the Seller’s obligations to the Administrative Agent, the Purchasers and the other Secured Parties hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents (including all Seller Obligations).  Therefore, as security for the performance by the Seller of all the terms, covenants and agreements on the part of the Seller to be performed under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, including the punctual payment when due of the Aggregate Capital and all Yield and all other Seller Obligations, the Seller hereby grants to the Administrative Agent for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the 
-32-

Secured Parties, a continuing security interest in, all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under all of the Sold Assets, whether now or hereafter owned, existing or arising, provided, notwithstanding the foregoing or any provision of any Transaction Document, none of the Administrative Agent, any Purchaser Party or any beneficiary thereof shall have the right to hold, review, view, audit or otherwise possess (x) any Contract; or (y) any financial reporting or other books or records specifically relating to such Contract and the Receivables generated thereunder, the disclosure of which is precluded by the applicable terms of such Contract, provided, further, however, that during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Termination, to the extent that the related Obligor has defaulted in the payment of any Receivable, upon the request of the Administrative Agent the Seller shall provide the Administrative Agent with such information reasonably requested with respect to any such Contract (which may be redacted versions of or excerpts of any Contract) to the extent needed for the Administrative Agent to enforce such Contract against the applicable Obligor. 
    (b)    The Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) shall have, with respect to all the Sold Assets, and in addition to all the other rights and remedies available to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties), all the rights and remedies of a secured party under any applicable UCC.  The Seller hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to file financing statements describing the collateral covered thereby as “all of the debtor’s personal property or assets” or words to that effect, notwithstanding that such wording may be broader in scope than the collateral described in this Agreement.
    (c)    For the avoidance of doubt, (i) the grant of security interest pursuant to this Section 5.05 shall be in addition to, and shall not be construed to limit or modify, the sale of Sold Assets pursuant to Section 2.01(b) or the Seller’s grant of security interest pursuant to Section 3.09, (ii) nothing in Section 2.01 shall be construed as limiting the rights, interests (including any security interest), obligations or liabilities of any party under this Section 5.05, and (iii) subject to the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), this Section 5.05 shall not be construed to contradict the intentions of the parties set forth in Section 2.01(c).

Notwithstanding anything else in the Transaction Documents to the contrary, the Servicer shall not have any authority to file a termination, partial termination, release, partial release, or any amendment that deletes the name of a debtor or excludes collateral of any such financing statements filed in connection with the Transaction Documents, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.

The Seller, the Servicer, the Parent, the Performance Guarantor, the Originators and their respective Affiliates will immediately correct any known misrepresentation with respect to the foregoing, and they will not operate or purport to operate as an integrated single economic unit with respect to each other or in their dealing with any other entity.

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Termination, the Administrative Agent may (with the consent of the Majority Group Agents) and shall (at the direction of the Majority Group Agents), designate as Servicer the Parent or an Affiliate thereof to succeed Turner or any successor Servicer, on the condition in each case that the Parent or such Affiliate shall agree to perform the duties and obligations of the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof.
    (b)    Upon the designation of a successor Servicer as set forth in clause (a) above, Turner agrees that it will terminate its activities as Servicer hereunder in a manner that the Administrative Agent reasonably determines will facilitate the transition of the performance of such activities to the new Servicer, and Turner shall cooperate with and assist such new Servicer.  Such cooperation shall include access to and transfer of records related to Pool Receivables and use by the new Servicer of all licenses (or the obtaining of new licenses), hardware or software necessary or reasonably desirable to collect the Pool Receivables and the Related Security.
    (c)    Turner acknowledges that, in making its decision to execute and deliver this Agreement, the Administrative Agent and each member in each Group have relied on Turner’s agreement to act as Servicer hereunder. Accordingly, Turner agrees that it will not voluntarily 
-64-

resign as Servicer without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Majority Group Agents.
    (d)    The Servicer may, and hereby does, delegate its duties and obligations hereunder to each Originator as subservicer with respect to the Receivables generated by such Originator or, solely with respect to a GDS Receivable, to GDS, and may further delegate its duties and obligations hereunder to any other subservicer (each a “Sub-Servicer”); provided, that, in each such delegation: (i) the Servicer shall remain liable for the performance of the duties and obligations so delegated, (ii) the Seller, the Administrative Agent, each Purchaser and each Group Agent shall have the right to look solely to the Servicer for performance, and (iii) if such Sub-Servicer is not an Affiliate of the Parent, (A) the Administrative Agent and the Majority Group Agents shall have consented in writing in advance to such delegation and (B) such Sub-Servicer shall agree in writing to perform the delegated duties and obligations of the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof.
    Section 9.02.    Duties of the Servicer.  (a) The Servicer shall take or cause to be taken all such action as may be necessary or reasonably advisable to service, administer and collect each Pool Receivable from time to time, all in accordance with this Agreement and all Applicable Laws, with reasonable care and diligence, and in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy and consistent with the past practices of the Originators.  The Servicer shall set aside, for the accounts of each Group, the amount of Collections to which each such Group is entitled in accordance with Article IV hereof.  The Servicer may, in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy and consistent with past practices of the Originators, take such action, including modifications, waivers or restructurings of Pool Receivables and related Contracts, as the Servicer may reasonably determine to be appropriate to maximize Collections thereof or reflect adjustments expressly permitted under the Credit and Collection Policy or as expressly required under Applicable Laws or the applicable Contract; provided, that for purposes of this Agreement: (i) such action shall not, and shall not be deemed to, change the number of days such Pool Receivable has remained unpaid from the date of the original due date related to such Pool Receivable, (ii) such action shall not alter the status of such Pool Receivable as a delinquent Receivable or limit the rights of any Secured Party under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document and (iii) if an Event of Termination has occurred and is continuing and neither the Parent nor an Affiliate thereof is the Servicer at such time, the Servicer may take such action only upon the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.  The Seller shall deliver to the Servicer and the Servicer shall hold for the benefit of the Administrative Agent (individually and for the benefit of each Group), in accordance with their respective interests, all records and documents (including computer tapes or disks) with respect to each Pool Receivable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if an Event of Termination has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent may direct the Servicer to commence or settle any legal action to enforce collection of any Pool Receivable that is a defaulted Receivable or to foreclose upon or repossess any Related Security with respect to any such defaulted Receivable.
    (b)    The Servicer’s obligations hereunder shall terminate on the Final Payout Date.  Promptly following the Final Payout Date, the Servicer shall deliver to the Seller all books, 
-65-

records and related materials that the Seller previously provided to the Servicer, or that have been obtained by the Servicer, in connection with this Agreement.
    Section 9.03.    Collection Account Arrangements.  The Seller shall have entered into Account Control Agreements with all of the applicable Collection Account Banks and delivered executed counterparts of each to the Administrative Agent except with respect to (i) each Excluded Collection Account, and (ii) the TD Account; provided that in the event the Parent long-term credit rating is downgraded to below BB by S&P or Ba2 by Moody’s, the Seller shall enter into an Account Control Agreement with respect to the TD Account within 30 days of the request of the Administrative Agent (or such greater amount of time agreed to by the Seller and the Administrative Agent).  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Termination, the Administrative Agent may (with the consent of the Majority Group Agents) and shall (upon the direction of the Majority Group Agents) at any time thereafter give notice to each Collection Account Bank that the Administrative Agent is exercising its rights under the Account Control Agreements to do any or all of the following: (a) to have the exclusive ownership and control of the Collection Accounts transferred to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) and to exercise exclusive dominion and control over the funds deposited therein (for the benefit of the Secured Parties), (b) to have the proceeds that are sent to the respective Collection Accounts redirected pursuant to the Administrative Agent’s instructions rather than deposited in the applicable Collection Account and (c) to take any or all other actions permitted under the applicable Account Control Agreement.  The Seller hereby agrees that if the Administrative Agent at any time takes any action set forth in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall have exclusive control (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) of the proceeds (including Collections) of all Pool Receivables and the Seller hereby further agrees to take any other action that the Administrative Agent may reasonably request to transfer such control.  Any proceeds of Pool Receivables received by the Seller or the Servicer thereafter shall be sent immediately to, or as otherwise instructed by, the Administrative Agent. 
    Section 9.04.    Enforcement Rights.  (a) At any time following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Termination:
    (i)    the Administrative Agent may instruct the Seller or the Servicer to give notice of the Secured Parties’ interest in Pool Receivables to each Obligor which notice shall direct that payments be made directly to the Administrative Agent or its designee (on behalf of the Secured Parties), and the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, shall give such notice at the expense of the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be; provided, that the Administrative Agent or such designee shall, as promptly as practicable, return to the Seller all amounts that it receives from such Obligors to the extent such amounts do not constitute Collections; provided, further, that if the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, fails to so notify each Obligor (if applicable) within two (2) Business Days following instruction by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent (at the Seller’s or the Servicer’s, as the case may be, expense) may so notify the Obligors; provided, that the Administrative Agent or such designee shall, as promptly as practicable, return to the Seller all amounts that it receives from such Obligors to the extent such amounts do not constitute Collections.
-66-

    (ii)    the Administrative Agent may request the Servicer to, and upon such request the Servicer shall: (A) assemble all of the records necessary or desirable to collect the Pool Receivables and the Related Security, and transfer or license to a successor Servicer the use of all software necessary or desirable to collect the Pool Receivables and the Related Security, and make the same available to the Administrative Agent or its designee (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) at a place selected by the Administrative Agent; provided, notwithstanding the foregoing or any provision of any Transaction Document, none of the Administrative Agent, any Purchaser Party or any beneficiary thereof shall have the right to hold, review, view, audit or otherwise possess (x) any Contract; or (y) any financial reporting or other books or records specifically relating to such Contract and the Receivables generated thereunder, the disclosure of which is precluded by the applicable terms of such Contract, provided, further, however, that during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Termination, to the extent that the related Obligor has defaulted in the payment of any Receivable, upon the request of the Administrative Agent the Seller shall provide the Administrative Agent with such information reasonably requested with respect to any such Contract (which may be redacted versions of or excerpts of any Contract) to the extent needed for the Administrative Agent to enforce such Contract against the applicable Obligor; and (B) segregate all cash, checks and other instruments received by it from time to time constituting Collections in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and, promptly upon receipt, remit all such cash, checks and instruments, duly endorsed or with duly executed instruments of transfer, to the Administrative Agent or its designee; 
    (iii)    the Administrative Agent may notify the Collection Account Banks that the Seller, and the Servicer will no longer have any access to the Collection Accounts;
    (iv)    the Administrative Agent may (or, at the direction of the Majority Group Agents shall) replace the Person then acting as Servicer; and
    (v)    the Administrative Agent may collect any amounts due from (A) an Originator under the Purchase and Sale Agreement or (B) the Performance Guarantor under the Performance Guaranty.
For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent upon an Event of Termination are in addition to and not exclusive of the rights and remedies contained herein and under the other Transaction Documents.
    (b)    The Seller hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Secured Parties), and irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution and with full authority in the place and stead of the Seller, which appointment is coupled with an interest, to take any and all steps in the name of the Seller and on behalf of the Seller necessary or desirable, in the reasonable determination of the Administrative Agent, after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Termination, to collect any and all amounts or portions thereof due under any and all Sold Assets and Seller Collateral, including endorsing the name of the Seller on checks and other instruments representing Collections and enforcing such Sold Assets and Seller Collateral.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary 
-67-

contained in this subsection, none of the powers conferred upon such attorney-in-fact pursuant to the preceding sentence shall subject such attorney-in-fact to any liability if any action taken by it shall prove to be inadequate or invalid, nor shall they confer any obligations upon such attorney-in-fact in any manner whatsoever.
    (c)    The Servicer hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Secured Parties), and irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution and with full authority in the place and stead of the Servicer, which appointment is coupled with an interest, to take any and all steps in the name of the Servicer and on behalf of the Servicer necessary or desirable, in the reasonable determination of the Administrative Agent, after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Termination, to collect any and all amounts or portions thereof due under any and all Sold Assets and Seller Collateral, including endorsing the name of the Servicer on checks and other instruments representing Collections and enforcing such Sold Assets and Seller Collateral.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this subsection, none of the powers conferred upon such attorney-in-fact pursuant to the preceding sentence shall subject such attorney-in-fact to any liability if any action taken by it shall prove to be inadequate or invalid, nor shall they confer any obligations upon such attorney-in-fact in any manner whatsoever.
    Section 9.05.    Responsibilities of the Seller.  (a) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Seller shall: (i) perform all of its obligations, if any, under the Contracts related to the Pool Receivables to the same extent as if interests in such Pool Receivables had not been transferred hereunder, and the exercise by the Administrative Agent, or any other Purchaser Party of their respective rights hereunder shall not relieve the Seller from such obligations and (ii) pay when due any material taxes, including any material sales taxes payable in connection with the Pool Receivables and their creation and satisfaction.  None of the Purchaser Parties shall have any obligation or liability with respect to any Sold Assets or Seller Collateral, nor shall any of them be obligated to perform any of the obligations of the Seller, the Servicer, or any Originator thereunder.
    (b)    Turner hereby irrevocably agrees that if at any time it shall cease to be the Servicer hereunder, it shall act (if the then-current Servicer so requests) as the data-processing agent of the Servicer and, in such capacity, Turner shall conduct the data-processing functions of the administration of the Receivables and the Collections thereon in substantially the same way that Turner conducted such data-processing functions while it acted as the Servicer.  In connection with any such processing functions, the Seller shall pay to Turner its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses from the Seller’s own funds (subject to the priority of payments set forth in Section 4.01).
    Section 9.06.    Servicing Fee.  (a) Subject to clause (b) below, the Seller shall pay the Servicer a fee (the “Servicing Fee”) equal to 1.00% per annum (the “Servicing Fee Rate”) of the daily average aggregate Outstanding Balance of the Pool Receivables.  Accrued Servicing Fees shall be payable from Collections to the extent of available funds in accordance with Section 4.01.  
-68-

    (b)    If the Servicer is neither the Parent nor an Affiliate thereof, the Servicing Fee shall be the greater of: (i) the amount calculated pursuant to clause (a) above and (ii) an alternative amount specified by the successor Servicer not to exceed 110% of the aggregate reasonable costs and expenses incurred by such successor Servicer in connection with the performance of its obligations as Servicer hereunder.

Article XI

The Administrative Agent
    Section 11.01.    Authorization and Action.  Each Purchaser Party hereby appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise 
-72-

such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties other than those expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents, and no implied obligations or liabilities shall be read into any Transaction Document, or otherwise exist, against the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent does not assume, nor shall it be deemed to have assumed, any obligation to, or relationship of trust or agency with, the Seller or any Affiliate thereof or any Purchaser Party except for any obligations expressly set forth herein.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, in no event shall the Administrative Agent ever be required to take any action which exposes the Administrative Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to any provision of any Transaction Document or Applicable Law.
    Section 11.02.    Administrative Agent’s Reliance, Etc.  Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them as Administrative Agent under or in connection with this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Administrative Agent’s servicing, administering or collecting Pool Receivables in the event it replaces the Servicer in such capacity pursuant to Section 9.01), in the absence of its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: (a) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for any Purchaser Party or the Servicer), independent certified public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (b) makes no warranty or representation to any Purchaser Party (whether written or oral) and shall not be responsible to any Purchaser Party for any statements, warranties or representations (whether written or oral) made by any other party in or in connection with this Agreement; (c) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement on the part of any Purchaser Party or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of any Purchaser Party; (d) shall not be responsible to any Purchaser Party for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; and (e) shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in so relying, upon any notice (including notice by telephone), consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by facsimile) believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties.
    Section 11.03.    Administrative Agent and Affiliates.  With respect to any Investment or interests therein owned by any Purchaser Party that is also the Administrative Agent, such Purchaser Party shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Purchaser Party and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent and any of its Affiliates may generally engage in any kind of business with the Seller or any Affiliate thereof and any Person who may do business with or own securities of the Seller or any Affiliate thereof, all as if the Administrative Agent were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to any other Secured Party.
    Section 11.04.    Indemnification of Administrative Agent.  Each Committed Purchaser agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Seller or any 
-73-

Affiliate thereof), ratably according to the respective Percentage of such Committed Purchaser, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; provided that no Committed Purchaser shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
    Section 11.05.    Delegation of Duties.  The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties.  The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.
    Section 11.06.    Action or Inaction by Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to take action under any Transaction Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Group Agents or the Majority Group Agents, as the case may be, and assurance of its indemnification by the Committed Purchasers, as it deems appropriate.  The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document in accordance with a request or at the direction of the Group Agents or the Majority Group Agents, as the case may be, and such request or direction and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all Purchaser Parties.  The Purchaser Parties and the Administrative Agent agree that unless any action to be taken by the Administrative Agent under a Transaction Document (i) specifically requires the advice or concurrence of all Group Agents or (ii) may be taken by the Administrative Agent alone or without any advice or concurrence of any Group Agent, then the Administrative Agent may take action based upon the advice or concurrence of the Majority Group Agents.
    Section 11.07.    Notice of Events of Termination; Action by Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Unmatured Event of Termination or Event of Termination unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from any Purchaser Party or the Seller stating that an Unmatured Event of Termination or Event of Termination has occurred hereunder and describing such Unmatured Event of Termination or Event of Termination.  If the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, it shall promptly give notice thereof to each Group Agent, whereupon each Group Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to its respective Conduit Purchaser(s) and Related Committed Purchaser(s).  The Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, concerning an Unmatured Event of Termination or Event of Termination or any other matter hereunder as the Administrative Agent deems advisable and in the best interests of the Secured Parties.
    Section 11.08.    Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Parties.  Each Purchaser Party expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by 
-74-

the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Seller or any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent.  Each Purchaser Party represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent that, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Purchaser Party and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, it has made and will continue to make its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, prospects, financial and other conditions and creditworthiness of the Seller, each Originator, the Performance Guarantor or the Servicer and the Pool Receivables and its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to take, or omit, action under any Transaction Document.  Except for items expressly required to be delivered under any Transaction Document by the Administrative Agent to any Purchaser Party, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Purchaser Party with any information concerning the Seller, any Originator, the Performance Guarantor or the Servicer that comes into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its directors, officers, agents, employees, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.
    Section 11.09.    Successor Administrative Agent.  (a) The Administrative Agent may, upon at least thirty (30) days’ notice to the Seller, the Servicer and each Group Agent, resign as Administrative Agent.  Except as provided below, such resignation shall not become effective until a successor Administrative Agent is appointed by the Majority Group Agents as a successor Administrative Agent and has accepted such appointment.  If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Majority Group Agents, within thirty (30) days after the departing Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, the departing Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Secured Parties, appoint a successor Administrative Agent as successor Administrative Agent.  If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Majority Group Agents within sixty (60) days after the departing Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, the departing Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Secured Parties, petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Administrative Agent.
    (b)    Upon such acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights and duties of the resigning Administrative Agent, and the resigning Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Transaction Documents.  After any resigning Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article XI and Article XIII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent.
    Section 11.10.    Structuring Agent.  Each of the parties hereto hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Structuring Agent shall not have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement, other than the Structuring Agent’s right to receive fees pursuant to Section 2.03.  Each Purchaser Party acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on the Structuring Agent in deciding to enter into this Agreement and to take, or omit to take, any action under any Transaction Document.

    Section 11.11.    Erroneous Payments.  (a) Each Purchaser hereby agrees that (i) if the Administrative Agent notifies such Purchaser that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any Erroneous Payment Notice) that any funds received by such Purchaser from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Purchaser (whether or not known to such Purchaser) (any such funds, whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of Capital, Yield, Fees or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Purchaser shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Purchaser to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect, and (ii) such Purchaser shall not assert any right or claim to the Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payments received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Purchaser under this Section 11.11(a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
    (b)    Without limiting the immediately preceding Section 11.11(a), each Purchaser hereby further agrees that if it receives an Erroneous Payment from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (i) that is in an amount different than (other than a de minimis difference), or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Erroneous Payment (an “Erroneous Payment Notice”), or (ii) that was not preceded or accompanied by an Erroneous Payment Notice, it shall be on notice that, in each such case, an error has been made with respect to such Erroneous Payment.  Each Purchaser further agrees that, in each such case, or if it otherwise becomes aware an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) may have been sent in error, such Purchaser shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from the Administrative Agent, it shall promptly, but in no event later than one (1) Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) that was received by such Purchaser to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect.
    (c)    Each Purchaser hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Purchaser under any Transaction Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Purchaser from any source, against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under the immediately preceding clause (b) or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.
-76-

    (d)    The parties hereto hereby agree that (i) in the event an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Purchaser that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Purchaser with respect to such amount and (ii) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Seller Obligations to the extent the amount of such Erroneous Payment is in excess of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Seller or any of its Affiliates for the purpose of satisfying Seller Obligations.
    (e)    Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 11.11 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Purchaser, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Seller Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Transaction Document.
Article XII

The Group Agents
    Section 12.01.    Authorization and Action.  Each Purchaser Party that belongs to a Group hereby appoints and authorizes the Group Agent for such Group to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to such Group Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  No Group Agent shall have any duties other than those expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents, and no implied obligations or liabilities shall be read into any Transaction Document, or otherwise exist, against any Group Agent.  No Group Agent assumes, nor shall it be deemed to have assumed, any obligation to, or relationship of trust or agency with the Seller or any Affiliate thereof, any Purchaser except for any obligations expressly set forth herein.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, in no event shall any Group Agent ever be required to take any action which exposes such Group Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to any provision of any Transaction Document or Applicable Law.
    Section 12.02.    Group Agent’s Reliance, Etc.  No Group Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them as a Group Agent under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents in the absence of its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, a Group Agent: (a) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Seller or the Servicer), independent certified public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (b) makes no warranty or representation to any Purchaser Party (whether written or oral) and shall not be responsible to any Purchaser Party for any statements, warranties or representations (whether written or oral) made by any other party in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; (c) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document on the part of the Seller or any Affiliate thereof 
-77-

or any other Person or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of the Seller or any Affiliate thereof; (d) shall not be responsible to any Purchaser Party for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any other Transaction Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; and (e) shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in so relying, upon any notice (including notice by telephone), consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by facsimile) believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties.
    Section 12.03.    Group Agent and Affiliates.  With respect to any Investment or interests therein owned by any Purchaser Party that is also a Group Agent, such Purchaser Party shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Purchaser and may exercise the same as though it were not a Group Agent.  A Group Agent and any of its Affiliates may generally engage in any kind of business with the Seller or any Affiliate thereof and any Person who may do business with or own securities of the Seller or any Affiliate thereof or any of their respective Affiliates, all as if such Group Agent were not a Group Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to any other Secured Party.
    Section 12.04.    Indemnification of Group Agents.  Each Committed Purchaser in any Group agrees to indemnify the Group Agent for such Group (to the extent not reimbursed by the Seller or any Affiliate thereof), ratably according to the proportion of the Percentage of such Committed Purchaser to the aggregate Percentages of all Committed Purchasers in such Group, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against such Group Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any action taken or omitted by such Group Agent under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; provided that no Committed Purchaser shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Group Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
    Section 12.05.    Delegation of Duties.  Each Group Agent may execute any of its duties through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties.  No Group Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.
    Section 12.06.    Notice of Events of Termination.  No Group Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Unmatured Event of Termination or Event of Termination unless such Group Agent has received notice from the Administrative Agent, any other Group Agent, any other Purchaser Party, the Servicer or the Seller stating that an Unmatured Event of Termination or Event of Termination has occurred hereunder and describing such Unmatured Event of Termination or Event of Termination.  If a Group Agent receives such a notice, it shall promptly give notice thereof to the Purchaser Parties in its Group and to the Administrative Agent (but only if such notice received by such Group Agent was not sent by the Administrative Agent).  A Group Agent may take such action concerning an Unmatured Event of Termination or Event of Termination as may be directed by Committed Purchasers in its Group representing a majority of the Commitments in such Group (subject to the other provisions of 
-78-

this Article XII), but until such Group Agent receives such directions, such Group Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, as such Group Agent deems advisable and in the best interests of the Conduit Purchasers and Committed Purchasers in its Group.
    Section 12.07.    Non-Reliance on Group Agent and Other Parties.  Each Purchaser Party expressly acknowledges that neither the Group Agent for its Group nor any of such Group Agent’s directors, officers, agents or employees has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by such Group Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Seller or any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by such Group Agent.  Each Purchaser Party represents and warrants to the Group Agent for its Group that, independently and without reliance upon such Group Agent, any other Group Agent, the Administrative Agent or any other Purchaser Party and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, it has made and will continue to make its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, prospects, financial and other conditions and creditworthiness of the Seller or any Affiliate thereof and the Receivables and its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to take, or omit, action under any Transaction Document.  Except for items expressly required to be delivered under any Transaction Document by a Group Agent to any Purchaser Party in its Group, no Group Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Purchaser Party in its Group with any information concerning the Seller or any Affiliate thereof that comes into the possession of such Group Agent or any of its directors, officers, agents, employees, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.
    Section 12.08.    Successor Group Agent.  Any Group Agent may, upon at least thirty (30) days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, the Seller, the Servicer and the Purchaser Parties in its Group, resign as Group Agent for its Group.  Such resignation shall not become effective until a successor Group Agent is appointed by the Purchaser(s) in such Group.  Upon such acceptance of its appointment as Group Agent for such Group hereunder by a successor Group Agent, such successor Group Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights and duties of the resigning Group Agent, and the resigning Group Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Transaction Documents.  After any resigning Group Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article XII and Article XIII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was a Group Agent.
    Section 12.09.    Reliance on Group Agent.  Unless otherwise advised in writing by a Group Agent or by any Purchaser Party in such Group Agent’s Group, each party to this Agreement may assume that (i) such Group Agent is acting for the benefit and on behalf of each of the Purchaser Parties in its Group, as well as for the benefit of each assignee or other transferee from any such Person and (ii) each action taken by such Group Agent has been duly authorized and approved by all necessary action on the part of the Purchaser Parties in its Group.

-81-

    (xvi)    any claim resulting from the sale of goods or the rendering of services related to such Pool Receivable or the furnishing or failure to furnish any such goods or services or other similar claim or defense not arising from the financial inability of any Obligor to pay undisputed indebtedness;
    (xvii)    any action taken by the Administrative Agent as attorney-in-fact for the Seller, any Originator or the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document using the same degree of skill and attention that the Administrative Agent exercises when acting for its own account;

Agreement for all purposes of this Agreement.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Seller, the Servicer, any Group Agent, any Conduit Purchaser or any Committed Purchaser at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
    (d)    Procedure.  Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement executed and delivered by an assigning Committed Purchaser and an Eligible Assignee or assignee Committed Purchaser, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement has been duly completed, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Seller and the Servicer.
    (e)    Participations.  Each Committed Purchaser may sell participations to one or more Eligible Assignees (each, a “Participant”) in or to all or a portion of its rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment and its Capital and Yield thereon); provided, however, that
    (i)    such Committed Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Commitment to the Seller hereunder) shall remain unchanged, and
    (ii)    such Committed Purchaser shall remain solely responsible to the other parties to this Agreement for the performance of such obligations.
The Administrative Agent, the Group Agents, the Conduit Purchasers, the other Committed Purchasers, the Seller and the Servicer shall have the right to continue to deal solely and directly with such Committed Purchaser in connection with such Committed Purchaser’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.  The Seller agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 5.01 and 5.03 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 5.03(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 5.03(f) shall be delivered to the participating Purchaser)) to the same extent as if it were a Purchaser and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 5.01 or 5.03, with respect to any participation, than its participating Purchaser would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation.
    (f)    Participant Register.  Each Committed Purchaser that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Seller, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the Capital (and stated Yield) participated to each Participant, together with each Participant’s interest in the other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Committed Purchaser shall 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 interest in any Commitments, Capital, Yield or its other obligations under any this Agreement) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Capital, Yield or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury 
-87-

Regulations.  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Committed 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.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
    (g)    Assignments by Agents.  This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the Administrative Agent and each Group Agent herein shall be assignable by the Administrative Agent or such Group Agent, as the case may be, and its successors and assigns; provided that in the case of an assignment to a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Administrative Agent or such Group Agent, so long as no Event of Termination or Unmatured Event of Termination has occurred and is continuing, such assignment shall require the Seller’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
    (h)    Assignments by the Seller or the Servicer.  Neither the Seller nor, except as provided in Section 9.01, the Servicer may assign any of its respective rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Group Agent (such consent to be provided or withheld in the sole discretion of such Person). 
    (i)    Addition of Purchasers or Groups.  The Seller may, with written notice to the Administrative Agent and each Group Agent, add additional Persons as Purchasers (by creating a new Group) or cause an existing Purchaser to increase its Commitment; provided, however, that the Commitment of any existing Purchaser may only be increased with the prior written consent of such Purchaser.  Each new Purchaser (or Group) shall become a party hereto, by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent and the Seller, an assumption agreement (each, an “Assumption Agreement”) in the form of Exhibit D hereto (which Assumption Agreement shall, in the case of any new Purchaser, be executed by each Person in such new Purchaser’s Group).
    (j)    Pledge to a Federal Reserve Bank. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, (i) any Purchaser, Program Support Provider or any of their respective Affiliates may at any time pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its interest in, to and under this Agreement (including, without limitation, rights to payment of Capital and Yield) and any other Transaction Document to secure its obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or The Bank of Canada, without notice to or the consent of the Seller, the Servicer, any Affiliate thereof or any Purchaser Party; provided, however, that that no such pledge shall relieve such assignor of its obligations under this Agreement.
    (k)    Pledge to a Security Trustee.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, any Conduit Purchaser may at any time pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its interest in, to and under this Agreement (including, without limitation, rights to payment of Capital and Yield) and any other Transaction Document to a collateral trustee (or Person acting in a similar capacity) as collateral security in connection with such Conduit Purchaser’s asset-backed commercial paper note program, without notice to or the consent of the Seller, the Servicer, any Affiliate thereof or any Purchaser Party; provided, however, that that no such pledge shall relieve such assignor of its obligations under this Agreement.
-88-

    (l)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no sale, pledge, assignment or other transfer contemplated in this Section 14.03 may be made by any Purchaser to any entity that is a variable interest entity as defined in FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 810 unless (i) such entity’s source of funding for its Investments hereunder does not and will not be repayable or redeemable solely from 90% or more of such entity’s interest in the Pool Receivables and (ii) such entity’s s outstanding Capital does not and will not exceed 50% of the fair value of such entity’s total assets.
    Section 14.04.    Costs and Expenses.  In addition to the rights of indemnification granted under Section 13.01 hereof, the Seller agrees to pay on demand all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (together with all amendments, restatements, supplements, consents and waivers, if any, from time to time hereto and thereto), including, without limitation, (i) the reasonable Attorney Costs for the Administrative Agent and the other Purchaser Parties and any of their respective Affiliates with respect thereto and with respect to advising the Administrative Agent and the other Purchaser Parties and their respective Affiliates as to their rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (in each case, limited to a single counsel for all Purchaser Parties and their respective Affiliates) and (ii) subject to Section 8.01(g), reasonable and documented accountants’, auditors’ and consultants’ fees and expenses for the Administrative Agent and the other Purchaser Parties and any of their respective Affiliates (in each case, limited to a single accountant, auditor or consultant for all Purchaser Parties and their respective Affiliates) incurred in connection with the administration and maintenance of this Agreement or advising the Administrative Agent or any other Purchaser Party as to their rights and remedies under this Agreement or as to any actual or reasonably claimed breach of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.  In addition, the Seller agrees to pay on demand all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable Attorney Costs (in each case, limited to a single counsel for all Purchaser Parties and their respective Affiliates)), of the Administrative Agent and the other Purchaser Parties and their respective Affiliates, incurred in connection with the enforcement of any of their respective rights or remedies under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.
    Section 14.05.    No Proceedings; Limitation on Payments.  (a) Each of the Seller, the Administrative Agent, the Servicer, each Group Agent, each Purchaser and each assignee of Capital or any Yield thereof or of any other Seller Obligations agrees that it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, any Conduit Purchaser any Insolvency Proceeding so long as any Notes or other senior indebtedness issued by such Conduit Purchaser shall be outstanding or there shall not have elapsed one year plus one day since the last day on which any such Notes or other senior indebtedness shall have been outstanding.
    (b)    Each of the Servicer, each Group Agent, each Purchaser and each assignee of Capital or any Yield thereof or of any other Seller Obligations, hereby covenants and agrees that it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, the Seller any Insolvency Proceeding until one year and one day after the Final Payout Date; provided, that the Administrative Agent may take any such action in its sole discretion following the occurrence of an Event of Termination.  Notwithstanding the foregoing and without limiting any of the rights 
-89-

of the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers set forth in Article X (including, without limitation, the rights of foreclosure and liquidation of the Sold Assets and Seller Collateral and all proceeds thereof, the right to declare the Termination Date and the right to declare the Seller Obligation Final Due Date to have occurred), if any amounts due on the Seller Obligation Final Due Date or on the date on which the Administrative Agent declares the Aggregate Capital and all other Seller Obligations to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 10.01 cannot be fully satisfied from funds from the Sold Assets and Seller Collateral, such deficiency shall not constitute a claim (as defined in Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code) against the Seller.
    (c)    Notwithstanding any provisions contained in this Agreement to the contrary, a Conduit Purchaser shall not, and shall be under no obligation to, pay any amount, if any, payable by it pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document unless (i) such Conduit Purchaser has received funds which may be used to make such payment and which funds are not required to repay such Conduit Purchaser’s Notes when due and (ii) after giving effect to such payment, either (x) such Conduit Purchaser could issue Notes to refinance all of its outstanding Notes (assuming such outstanding Notes matured at such time) in accordance with the program documents governing such Conduit Purchaser’s securitization program or (y) all of such Conduit Purchaser’s Notes are paid in full.  Any amount which any Conduit Purchaser does not pay pursuant to the operation of the preceding sentence shall not constitute a claim (as defined in Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code) against or company obligation of such Conduit Purchaser for any such insufficiency unless and until such Conduit Purchaser satisfies the provisions of clauses (i) and (ii) above.  The provisions of this Section 14.05 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
    Section 14.06.    Confidentiality.  (a) Each of the Seller and the Servicer, severally and with respect to itself only, covenants and agrees to hold in confidence, and not disclose to any Person, the terms of this Agreement or the Fee Letter (including any fees payable in connection with this Agreement, the Fee Letter or any other Transaction Document or the identity of the Administrative Agent or any other Purchaser Party), except as the Administrative Agent and each Group Agent may have consented to in writing prior to any proposed disclosure; provided, however, that it may disclose such information (i) to its Advisors and Representatives, (ii) to the extent such information has become available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by or through the Seller, the Servicer or their Advisors and Representatives or (iii) to the extent it should be (A) required by Applicable Law, or in connection with any legal or regulatory proceeding or (B) requested by any Governmental Authority to disclose such information; provided, that, in the case of clause (iii) above, the Seller and the Servicer will use reasonable efforts to maintain confidentiality and will (unless otherwise prohibited by Applicable Law) notify the Administrative Agent and the affected Purchaser Party of making any such disclosure as promptly as reasonably practicable thereafter; provided, further, the Parent or any of its Affiliates may file copies of the Transaction Documents with the SEC to the extent that such Person is required by Applicable Law to do so.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expressly agreed that each of the Seller, the Servicer and their respective Affiliates may publish a press release or otherwise publicly announce the existence and principal amount of the Commitments

    (b)    Each of the Administrative Agent and each other Purchaser Party, severally and with respect to itself only, agrees to hold in confidence, and not disclose to any Person, any confidential and proprietary information concerning the Seller, the Servicer and their respective Affiliates and their businesses or the terms of this Agreement (including any fees payable in connection with this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents), except as the Seller or the Servicer may have consented to in writing prior to any proposed disclosure; provided, however, that it may disclose such information (i) to its Advisors and Representatives and to any related Program Support Provider, (ii) to its assignees and Participants and potential assignees and Participants and their respective counsel if they agree in writing to hold it confidential, (iii) to the extent such information has become available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by or through it or its Representatives or Advisors or any related Program Support Provider, (iv) to any nationally recognized statistical rating organization in connection with obtaining or maintaining the rating of any Conduit Purchaser’s Notes or as contemplated by 17 CFR 240.17g-5(a)(3), (v) at the request of a bank examiner or other regulatory authority (including any self-regulatory authority such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners) or in connection with an examination of any of the Administrative Agent, any Group Agent or any Purchaser or their respective Affiliates or Program Support Providers or (vi) to the extent it should be (A) required by Applicable Law, or in connection with any legal or regulatory proceeding or (B) requested by any Governmental Authority to disclose such information; provided, that, in the case of clauses (v) and (vi) above, the Administrative Agent, each Group Agent and each Purchaser will use reasonable efforts to maintain confidentiality and will (unless otherwise prohibited by Applicable Law) notify the Seller and the Servicer of its making any such disclosure as promptly as reasonably practicable thereafter.  Each of the Administrative Agent, each Group Agent and each Purchaser, severally and with respect to itself only, agrees to be responsible for any breach of this Section by its Representatives, Advisors and Program Support Providers and agrees that its Representatives, Advisors and Program Support Providers will be advised by it of the confidential nature of such information and shall agree to comply with this Section.
    (c)    As used in this Section, (i) “Advisors” means, with respect to any Person, such Person’s accountants, attorneys and other confidential advisors and (ii) “Representatives” means, with respect to any Person, such Person’s Affiliates, Subsidiaries, directors, managers, officers, employees, members, investors, financing sources, insurers, professional advisors, representatives and agents; provided that such Persons shall not be deemed to Representatives of a Person unless (and solely to the extent that) confidential information is furnished to such Person.
    (d)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent not inconsistent with applicable securities laws, each party hereto (and each of its employees, representatives or other agents) 
-91-

may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure (as defined in Section 1.6011-4 of the Treasury Regulations) of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to such Person relating to such tax treatment and tax structure.
    Section 14.07.    Governing Law.  This Agreement, including the rights and duties of the parties hereto, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York (including Sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 of the General Obligations Law of the State of New York, but without regard to any other conflicts of law provisions thereof, except to the extent that the perfection, the effect of perfection or priority of the interests of Administrative Agent or any Purchaser in the Sold Assets or Seller Collateral is governed by the laws of a jurisdiction other than the State of New York).
    Section 14.08.    Execution in Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of 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.

If any Purchaser Party, whether by setoff or otherwise, has payment made to it with respect to any Seller Obligations in a greater proportion than that received by any other Purchaser Party entitled to receive a ratable share of such Seller Obligations, such Purchaser Party agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase for cash without recourse or warranty a portion of such Seller Obligations held by the other Purchaser Parties so that after such purchase each Purchaser Party will hold its ratable proportion of such Seller Obligations; provided that if all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from such Purchaser Party, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.
    Section 14.13.    Limitation of Liability.  (a) No claim may be made by the Seller or any Affiliate thereof or any other Person against any Purchaser Party or their respective Affiliates, members, directors, officers, employees, incorporators, attorneys or agents for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages in respect of any claim for breach of contract or any other theory of liability arising out of or related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection herewith or therewith; and each of the Seller and the Servicer hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue upon any claim for any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.  None of the Purchaser Parties and their respective Affiliates shall have any liability to the Seller or any Affiliate thereof or any other Person asserting claims on behalf of or in right of the Seller or any Affiliate thereof in connection with or as a result of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except to the extent that any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses incurred by the Seller or any Affiliate thereof result from the breach of contract, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Purchaser Party in performing its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party.

    Section 14.14.    Intent of the Parties.  The Seller has structured this Agreement with the intention that the obligations of the Seller hereunder (including the obligation to return Capital to the Purchasers and make payments of Yield thereon) will be treated under United States federal, 
-93-

and applicable state, local and foreign tax law as debt (the “Intended Tax Treatment”).  The Seller, the Servicer, the Administrative Agent and the other Purchaser Parties agree to file no tax return, or take any action, inconsistent with the Intended Tax Treatment unless required by law.  Each assignee and each Participant acquiring an interest in an Investment, by its acceptance of such assignment or participation, agrees to comply with the immediately preceding sentence.

    Section 14.16.    Reserved.
    Section 14.17.    Severability.  Any provisions of this Agreement which are prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
    Section 14.18.    Mutual Negotiations.  This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents are the product of mutual negotiations by the parties thereto and their counsel, and no party shall be deemed the draftsperson of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any provision hereof or thereof or to have provided the same.  Accordingly, in the event of any inconsistency or ambiguity of any provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, such inconsistency or ambiguity shall not be interpreted against any party because of such party’s involvement in the drafting thereof.

Each Purchaser hereby represents, warrants and agrees that either (A) such Purchaser is not a variable interest entity as defined in FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 810 or (B) (i) such Purchaser’s source of funding for its Investments hereunder does not and will not be repayable or redeemable solely from 90% or more of such Purchaser’s interest in the Receivables and (ii) such Purchaser’s outstanding Capital does not and will not exceed 50% of the fair value of such Purchaser’s total assets.  Each Pool Purchaser shall promptly notify the Seller and the Servicer if it becomes aware that any of the statements in the foregoing sentence are not correct.
    Section 14.21.    Amendment and Restatement.  This Agreement shall become effective on the Restatement Effective Date and shall supersede all provisions of the Existing Receivables Purchase Agreement as of such date and the Existing Receivables Purchase Agreement shall thereafter be of no further force and effect, except to evidence (i) the incurrence by each of the Seller and the Servicer of the obligations under the Existing Receivables Purchase Agreement (whether or not such obligations are contingent as of the Restatement Effective Date), (ii) the representations and warranties made by each of the Seller and the Servicer prior to the Restatement Effective Date and (iii) any action or omission performed or required to be performed pursuant to such Existing Receivables Purchase Agreement prior to the Restatement Effective Date.  From and after the Restatement Effective Date all references made to the Existing Receivables Purchase Agreement in any Transaction Document or in any other instrument or document shall, without further action, be deemed to refer to this Agreement.  This Agreement amends and restates the Existing Receivables Purchase Agreement and is not intended to be or operate as a novation or an accord and satisfaction of the Existing Receivables Purchase Agreement or the obligations and liabilities of Seller evidenced or provided for thereunder.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Seller agrees that notwithstanding the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the security interest, lien, collateral security or supporting obligations previously granted to the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity pursuant to the Transaction Documents shall be and remain in full force and effect and that any rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity thereunder and obligations of the Seller thereunder shall be and remain in full force and effect, shall not be affected, impaired or discharged thereby and shall secure all of Seller’s Guaranteed Obligations and liabilities to Administrative Agent and the Purchasers under the Existing Receivables Purchase Agreement as amended and restated hereby.  Without limiting the foregoing, the parties to this Agreement hereby acknowledge and agree that the “Receivables Purchase Agreement” referred to in the Transaction Documents shall from and after the date hereof be deemed references to this Agreement.
Section 14.22.    Equalization of Aggregate Capital and Commitments.  All Capital outstanding under the Existing Receivables Purchase Agreement on the Restatement Effective Date (and which has not been satisfied on the Restatement Effective Date) shall continue to remain outstanding under this Agreement and, in connection therewith, each of the Committed Purchasers hereto (or the Related Conduit Purchasers on their behalf) each agree to make such purchases and sales of the Capital of the other Purchasers as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for each Committed Purchaser (or its Related Conduit Purchasers on its behalf) to hold such Capital in accordance with its Percentage.  Such purchases and sales shall be arranged through the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser hereby agrees 
-95-

to execute such further instruments and documents, if any, as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in connection therewith.  The Seller hereby consents to such transfers.  The parties hereto agree that such transfers shall be deemed to be, and satisfy the conditions to, assignments under Section 14.03 of the Existing Receivables Purchase Agreement.
Section 14.23.    Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions.  Solely to the extent any Purchaser that is an Affected Financial Institution is a party to this Agreement and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Transaction Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Purchaser that is an Affected Financial Institution arising under any Transaction Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:
    (a)    the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any Purchaser that is an Affected Financial Institution; and
    (b)    the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:
    (i)    a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;
    (ii)    a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent entity, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; or
    (iii)    the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.

WHEREAS, Warner desires to sublease the Aircraft to Executive and to provide a fully qualified flight crew for all operations on a periodic, non-exclusive time sharing basis, as defined in Section 91.501(c)(1) of the Federal Aviation Regulations (“FAR”); and

WHEREAS, the use of the Aircraft by Executive shall at all times be pursuant to and in full compliance with the requirements of FAR Sections 91.501 (b) (6), 91.501 (c) (1) and 91.501 (d).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and considerations contained in this Agreement, the parties agree as follows:

1.Sublease; Term; Termination. Warner agrees to sublease the Aircraft to Executive on a periodic, non-exclusive basis, and to provide a fully qualified flight crew for all operations, pursuant and subject to the provisions of FAR Section 91.501 (c) (1) and the terms of this Agreement. The parties expressly acknowledge and agree that, regardless of any employment, contractual or other relationship of any kind or nature, at all times that the Aircraft is operated under this Agreement, Warner, as the party furnishing the Aircraft and flight crew and exercising complete control over all phases of aircraft operation, shall be deemed to have operational control of the Aircraft as such term is defined in 14 C.F.R. Section 1.1. This Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and continue so long as Executive is employed by Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc., the ultimate parent of Warner, under the Employment Agreement entered into on January 2, 2014, as amended by the Amended and Restated Employment Agreement dated July 16, 2018 and as further amended by the Amended and Restated Employment Agreement dated May 16, 2021.

2.Payment Amount. Executive shall pay Warner an amount equal to 200% of the actual expenses for fuel for each flight conducted under this Agreement, as permitted by and in compliance with FAR Section 91.501 (d) (the “Time Sharing Charge”).

3.Payment Timing. Warner will pay all expenses related to the operation of the Aircraft when incurred, and will bill Executive on a quarterly basis as soon as practicable after the last day of each calendar quarter for the Time Sharing Charge for any and all flights for the account of Executive pursuant to this Agreement during the preceding quarter. Executive shall pay Warner for all flights for the account of Executive pursuant to this Agreement within thirty (30) days of receipt of the invoice therefor. For the avoidance of doubt, any federal excise tax that may be imposed under Internal Revenue Code Section 4261 or any similar excise taxes, if any, applicable to this Agreement will be paid by Executive to Warner in addition to the Time Sharing Charge.

4.Flight Requests. Executive will provide Warner with requests for flight time and proposed flight schedules as far in advance of any given flight as possible, and in any case, at least twenty-four (24) hours in advance of Executive’s planned departure unless Warner otherwise agrees. Requests for flight time shall be in a form, whether written or oral, mutually convenient to, and agreed upon by the parties. The parties intend that the use of the Aircraft pursuant to this Agreement will be for such purposes as Warner and Executive may agree from time to time.

5.Scheduling  Authority. Warner shall have sole and exclusive authority over the scheduling of the Aircraft, including any limitations on the number of passengers on any flight; provided, however, that Warner will use commercially reasonable efforts to accommodate Executive’s needs and to avoid conflicts in scheduling.

6.Aircraft Maintenance. As between Warner and Executive, Warner shall be solely responsible for securing maintenance, preventive maintenance and required or otherwise necessary inspections on the Aircraft, and shall take such requirements into account in scheduling the Aircraft. No period of maintenance, preventative maintenance or inspection shall be delayed or postponed for the purpose of scheduling the Aircraft, unless said maintenance or inspection can be safely conducted at a later time in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, and within the sound discretion of the pilot in command. The pilot in command shall have final and complete authority to cancel any flight for any reason or condition which in his judgment would compromise the safety of the flight.

7.Flight Crew. Warner shall employ or retain, pay for and provide a qualified flight crew for each flight undertaken under this Agreement.

8.Flight Crew Authority. In accordance with applicable FARs, the qualified flight crew provided by Warner will exercise all of its duties and responsibilities in regard to the safety of each flight conducted hereunder. Executive specifically agrees that the flight crew, in its sole discretion, may terminate any flight, refuse to commence any flight, or take other action which in the considered judgment of the pilot in command is necessitated by 

considerations of safety. No such action of the pilot in command shall create or support any liability for loss, injury, damage or delay to Executive or any other person. The parties further agree that Warner shall not be liable for delay or failure to furnish the Aircraft and crew pursuant to this Agreement when such failure is caused by government regulation or authority, mechanical difficulty, war, civil commotion, strikes or labor disputes, weather conditions, or acts of God or any other event or circumstance beyond the reasonable control of Warner.

9.Insurance.

(a)At all times during the term of this Agreement, Warner shall cause to be carried and maintained, at Warner's cost and expense, aircraft public and passenger legal liability coverage, commercial general liability covering bodily injury, property damage and personal injury liability, and all risk hull insurance in such amounts and on such terms and conditions as Warner shall determine in its sole discretion. Warner shall also bear the cost of paying any deductible amount on any policy of insurance in the event of a claim or loss.
(b)Any policies of insurance carried in accordance with this Agreement: (i) shall name Executive as an additional insured; (ii) shall contain a waiver by the underwriter thereof of any right of subrogation against Executive; and (iii) shall require the insurers to provide at least 30 days’ prior written notice (or at least seven days’ in the case of any war-risk insurance) to Executive if the insurers cancel insurance for any reason whatsoever, provided that the insurers shall provide at least 10 days prior written notice if the same is allowed to lapse for non-payment of premium. Each liability policy shall be primary without right of contribution from any other insurance which is carried by Executive or Warner and shall expressly provide that all of the provisions thereof, except the limits of liability, shall operate in the same manner as if there were a separate policy covering each insured.

(c)Warner shall obtain the approval of this Agreement by the insurance carrier for each policy of insurance on the Aircraft. If requested by Executive, Warner shall arrange for a Certificate of Insurance evidencing the insurance coverage with respect to the Aircraft carried and maintained by Warner to be given by its insurance carriers to Executive or will provide Executive with a copy of such insurance policies. Warner will give Executive reasonable advance notice of any material modifications to insurance coverage relating to the Aircraft.

10.Damages.

(a)Executive agrees that the proceeds of insurance will be Executive’s sole recourse against Warner with respect to any claims that Executive may have under this Agreement.
(b)IN NO EVENT SHALL WARNER BE LIABLE TO EXECUTIVE OR HIS EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, GUESTS, OR INVITEES (AND THE LAWFUL SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS THEROF) FOR ANY INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES AND/OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OF ANY 

KIND OR NATURE, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES OR FOR ANY REASON, INCLUDING AND NOT LIMITED TO ANY DELAY OR FAILURE TO FURNISH THE AIRCRAFT, OR CAUSED BY THE PERFORMANCE OR NON-PERFORMANCE BY WARNER OF THIS AGREEMENT.

(c)The provisions of this Section 10 shall survive indefinitely the termination or expiration of the Agreement.
11. Executive Warranties. Executive warrants that:

(a)He will not use the Aircraft for the purpose of providing transportation of passengers or cargo in air commerce for compensation or hire, for any illegal purpose, or in violation of any insurance policies with respect to the Aircraft;

(b)He will refrain from incurring any mechanics, international interest, prospective international interest or other lien and shall not attempt to convey, mortgage, assign, lease or grant or obtain an international interest or prospective international interest or in any way alienate the Aircraft or create any kind of lien or security interest involving the Aircraft or do anything or take any action that might mature into such a lien; and

(c)He will comply with all applicable laws, governmental and airport orders, rules and regulations, as shall from time to time be in effect relating in any way to the operation and use of the Aircraft under this Agreement.

12. Base of Operations. For purposes of this Agreement, the base of operation of the 900EX Aircraft shall be Teterboro, NJ (KTEB), and the base of operation of the 7X Aircraft shall be Burbank, CA (KBUR), in each case, as may be changed from time to time by the agreement of the parties hereto.

13.Copies of Agreement. A copy of this Agreement shall be carried in the Aircraft and available for review upon the request of the Federal Aviation Administration on all flights conducted pursuant to this Agreement.
14.No Executive Further Sublease or Assignment. Executive shall not assign this Agreement or its interest herein to any other person or entity, nor shall Executive enter into any further subleases or make any other disposition of the Aircraft, without the prior written consent of Warner, which may be granted or denied in Warner’s sole discretion; provided, however, that Executive may permit members of his immediate family to use the Aircraft pursuant to this Agreement and will provide Warner with advance notice of such permission being granted. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto, and their respective heirs, representatives, successors and assigns, and does not confer any rights on any other person.

15.Miscellaneous. This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any prior understandings and agreements between the parties respecting such subject matter. This Agreement may be amended or supplemented and any provision hereof waived only by a written instrument signed by all parties. The failure or delay on the part of any party to insist on strict 

performance of any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement or to exercise any rights or remedies hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of any such provisions, rights or remedies. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, which shall, singly or in the aggregate, constitute a fully executed and binding Agreement.

16.Delivery of Notices. Except as otherwise set forth in Section 4, all communications and notices provided for herein shall be in writing and shall become effective when delivered by facsimile transmission or by personal delivery, Federal Express or other overnight courier or four (4) days following deposit in the United States mail, with correct postage for first-class mail prepaid, addressed to Warner or Executive at their respective addresses set forth above, or else as otherwise directed by the other party from time to time in writing.
17.Enforceability. If any one or more provisions of this Agreement shall be held invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall be unimpaired, and the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provisions shall be replaced by a mutually acceptable provision, which, being valid, legal, and enforceable, comes closest to the intention of the parties underlying the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the parties hereby waive any provision of law, which renders any provision of this Agreement prohibited or unenforceable in any respect.

18.Governing  Law. This Agreement is entered into under, and is to be construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Maryland, without reference to conflicts of laws.
