ARTICLE II

THE COMMITMENTS AND CREDIT EXTENSIONS

 

SECTION 2.01. The
Loan Facility.

 

(a)            On
the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, on the Effective Date, and thereafter from time to time prior to the Termination
Date, the Borrower may request that the Lenders make loans (each a “Loan”) or that the LC Issuers issue, extend,
modify or renew one or more Letters of Credit for the benefit of the Borrower or its designee (an “LC Credit Extension”),
in each case, subject to the terms herein. The terms and conditions of the LC Credit Extensions are set forth in Section 2.04.
Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Conduit Lender may in its sole discretion, and each Committed Lender
shall, only if each Conduit Lender in its Lender Group elects not to (and has notified the Borrower, the Servicer, the Administrative
Agent and the related Facility Agent) or there is no Conduit Lender in a Lender Group, make such Lender Group’s share of
the Loans to the Borrower in an amount, for each Lender Group, equal to its Lender Group Percentage of the amount requested by
the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.02; provided that no Lender shall make any such Loan if:

 

(i)            the
Aggregate Exposure Amount shall exceed the Facility Limit at such time;

 

(ii)           the
aggregate Exposure Amount of the Lenders in any Lender Group would exceed such Lender Group’s Lender Group Limit at such
time;

 

(iii)          the
aggregate Exposure Amount of any Committed Lender would exceed its Commitment; or

 

(iv)          the
Aggregate Exposure Amount shall exceed the Borrowing Base.

 

    35

     

    

 

Each Borrowing shall be in a minimum principal
amount equal to $1,000,000 and in integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof for each Lender Group party hereto. Subject
to the foregoing and to the limitations set forth in Section 2.05, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow the
Loans hereunder.

 

(b)            Rebalancing
of Lender Group Percentages. On each Settlement Date on which the Lender Group Percentages of any Lender Groups change in connection
with the start of a new Period as set forth on Schedule I, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a non-ratable
reduction of the Principal Balance of the Loans owing to each Assigning Lender Group and a non-ratable Loan from each Assignee
Lender Group, in amounts with respect to each Assigning Lender Group and Assignee Lender Group, as applicable, such that, after
giving effect to such reductions and Loans, the outstanding aggregate Principal Balance of the Loans owing to each Lender Group
shall be equal to such Lender Group’s Lender Group Percentage (after giving effect to the adjustments set forth on Schedule
I of this Agreement, as applicable) times the Aggregate Principal Balance. For administrative convenience, the Borrower may
instruct Assignee Lender Groups to fund the foregoing Loans by paying the proceeds thereof directly to the Assigning Lender Groups
as the foregoing reduction in the Principal Balance owing to the Assigning Lending Groups on the Borrower’s behalf and such
Assignee Lender Groups shall fund such rebalancing Loans to the Assigning Lender Groups regardless of whether the conditions precedent
to a Loan set forth in Section 3.02 or otherwise in this Agreement are satisfied. For purposes of this paragraph the
following terms shall have the following meanings:

 

“Assignee
Lender Group” means a Lender Group for which the Lender Group Percentage of such Lender Group (after giving effect to
such adjustments occurring on such Settlement Date, as applicable) times the Aggregate Principal Balance exceeds the outstanding
Principal Balance of the Loans owing to such Lender Group at such time.

 

“Assigning
Lender Group” means a Lender Group for which the Lender Group Percentage of such Lender Group (after giving effect to
such adjustments occurring on such Settlement Date, as applicable) times the Aggregate Principal Balance is less than the
outstanding Principal Balance of the Loans owing to such Lender Group at such time.

 

(c)            Permanent
Reduction of the Facility Limit. The Borrower may, from time to time upon at least fifteen (15) calendar days’ prior
written notice to each Facility Agent, elect to reduce the Facility Limit in whole or in part (a “Non-Seasonal Reduction”),
provided that (x) any such Non-Seasonal Reduction shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 and in integral multiples
of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (y) any such Non-Seasonal Reduction shall not decrease the Facility Limit to an amount that
is less than $500,000,000 and (z) after giving effect to any such Non-Seasonal Reduction and any principal payments on such
date, the Aggregate Exposure Amount shall not exceed the Facility Limit. Each Non-Seasonal Reduction shall reduce each Lender Group
Limit hereunder ratably in accordance with their respective Lender Group Percentages. Following any Non-Seasonal Reduction, (x) the
Facility Limit shall be reduced in accordance with Schedule I for any subsequent Period for which the Commitments are to be reduced
as set forth in Schedule I and (y) the Facility Limit shall not be increased in any subsequent Period, notwithstanding that
Schedule I sets forth an increase in Commitments for such Period.

 

(d)            Committed
Lender’s Commitment.

 

    36

     

    

 

(i)            If
a Conduit Lender chooses not to fund a Loan or a Reimbursement Borrowing under Section 2.04, its ratable share of the
Loan or the Reimbursement Borrowing (in accordance with its Lender Group Percentage) shall be funded by the related Committed Lenders
in its Lender Group.

 

(ii)          The
obligations of any Committed Lender to make Loans and fund Reimbursement Obligations hereunder are several from the obligations
of any other Committed Lenders. The failure of any Committed Lender to make Loans or to fund Reimbursement Borrowings hereunder
shall not release the obligations of any other Committed Lender to make Loans or to fund Reimbursement Borrowings hereunder, but
no Committed Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Committed Lender to make any Loan or to fund a Reimbursement
Borrowing hereunder.

 

SECTION 2.02. Borrowing
Procedures.

 

(a)            Borrowing
Requests. The Borrower shall request a Borrowing hereunder by submitting to the Administrative Agent and each Facility Agent
a written notice, substantially in the form of Exhibit A (each, a “Borrowing Request”) by 12 noon
(New York City time) at least one (1) Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Borrowing (each, a “Borrowing
Date”), which Borrowing Request shall: (A) specify (1) the amount of the requested Borrowing and the allocation
of such amount among the Lender Groups (which shall be proportional in accordance with the Lender Group Percentages of each Lender
Group), (2) the Aggregate Principal Balance after giving effect to such Borrowing, (3) the Aggregate Exposure Amount
after giving effect to such Borrowing, (4) the desired Borrowing Date, and (5) the account of the Borrower to which the
proceeds of such Borrowing are to be remitted and (B) certify that, after giving effect to the proposed Borrowing, no Borrowing
Base Deficiency shall exist and including a Borrowing Base Certificate containing a pro forma calculation demonstrating the lack
of a Borrowing Base Deficiency after giving effect to such Loan.

 

(b)            Disbursement
of Funds. On each Borrowing Date, each applicable Lender shall, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions precedent set
forth in Section 3.02, make available to the Borrower in same day funds, at the account designated in writing by the
Borrower to the Administrative Agent and each Facility Agent, an amount equal to the portion of the Loan to be funded by such Lender.

 

SECTION 2.03. Borrowing
Base Computation; Selection and Allocation of Interest Rates; Inability to Determine Rates; Changes in Legality; LIBO Successor
Rates.

 

(a)            Borrowing
Base Computation. The Borrowing Base shall be initially computed on the date of the Initial Credit Extension hereunder. Thereafter,
until the Termination Date, (i) the Servicer shall deliver a certificate in the form set forth on Exhibit D hereto
(each such certificate, a “Borrowing Base Certificate”) to the email addresses specified for such certificate
on Schedule II setting forth a calculation of the Borrowing Base (A) on or before the second Business Day following
each Monthly Reporting Date, (B) within two (2) Business Days after a request therefor has been delivered to the Servicer
at the email address specified for such requests on Schedule II by the Administrative Agent or any Facility Agent (it being
understood that any request by a Facility Agent shall be directed through the Administrative Agent) and (C) in connection
with each Credit Extension hereunder and (ii) the Borrowing Base shall be automatically deemed recomputed on each other Business
Day prior to the Termination Date, it being understood that the Servicer shall not be required to provide reports or evidence of
such automatic computation but shall only be required to deliver computations of the Borrowing Base as provided above in this Section and
in Section 3.02, and further understood that a deemed recomputation of the Borrowing Base shall not give rise to any
Advance Suspension Event, Event of Termination or Potential Event of Termination hereunder or under any Facility Document. With
respect to each calculation of the Borrowing Base, the Total Reserve Amount used in such calculation shall be measured using the
information reported in the most recent Monthly Report.

 

    37

     

    

 

(b)            Allocation
of Interest Rates. Subject to the requirements set forth in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent and the Facility Agents
shall from time to time, only for purposes of computing Interest with respect to each Lender, account for such Lender’s portion
of the Aggregate Principal Balance in terms of one or more portions (or tranches), and the applicable Interest Rate may be different
for each portion of such Aggregate Principal Balance. Each Lender’s Loans shall be allocated to each portion of the Aggregate
Principal Balance by the Administrative Agent or the applicable Facility Agent to reflect the funding sources for each such portion
of such Loan, so that:

 

(i)            there
will be an Interest Rate for the portion of Aggregate Principal Balance funded or maintained through the issuance of Commercial
Paper Notes; and

 

(ii)           there
will be an Interest Rate for the portion of Aggregate Principal Balance not funded or maintained through the issuance of Commercial
Paper Notes (including by outstanding Liquidity Advances or by funding under any Program Support Agreement);

 

provided, that, notwithstanding
the foregoing, following an Event of Termination, all portions of the Aggregate Principal Balance funded or maintained hereunder
shall accrue at the Default Rate.

 

(c)            Inability
to Determine Rates; Inadequacy of Rates. If any Facility Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive
and binding upon the parties hereto) before the first day of any Interest Period, by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank
Eurodollar market, either that: (i) dollar deposits in the relevant amounts and for the relevant Interest Period or day, as
applicable, are not available, (ii) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBO Rate for such Interest
Period or day, as applicable, or (iii) the LIBO Rate determined pursuant hereto does not accurately reflect the cost to the
applicable Affected Person (as conclusively determined by such Facility Agent) of maintaining any Loan during such Interest Period
or day, as applicable, such Facility Agent shall promptly give telephonic notice of such determination, confirmed in writing, to
the Borrower before the first day of any Interest Period. Upon delivery of such notice: (i) no Loan shall be funded thereafter
at the Base Rate determined by reference to the LIBO Rate unless and until such Facility Agent shall have given notice to the Borrower
that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist, and (ii) with respect to any outstanding Loan then
funded at the Base Rate determined by reference to the LIBO Rate, such Base Rate shall automatically be converted to the Base Rate
determined without reference to the LIBO Rate on the last day of the then-current Interest Period.

 

    38

     

    

 

(d)            Changes
in Legality. If, on or before the first day of any Interest Period, any Facility Agent shall have been notified by any Affected
Person that such Affected Person has determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive) that any Regulatory Change,
or compliance by such Affected Person with any Regulatory Change, shall make it unlawful or impossible for such Affected Person
to fund or maintain any Loan at or by reference to the LIBO Rate, such Facility Agent shall notify the Borrower, the Administrative
Agent and each other Facility Agent thereof. Upon receipt of such notice, until the applicable Facility Agent notifies the Borrower,
the Administrative Agent and each other Facility Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer apply,
(i) no portion of any Loan shall be funded at or by reference to the LIBO Rate and (ii) the Interest Rate for any outstanding
Loan then funded at the Base Rate determined by reference to the LIBO Rate shall be converted to the Base Rate determined without
reference to the LIBO Rate either (x) on the last day of the then-current Interest Period, only if such Affected Person may
lawfully continue to maintain such Loans at or by reference to the LIBO Rate prior to such conversion, or (y) immediately,
if such Affected Person may not lawfully continue to maintain Loans at or by reference to the LIBO Rate during such period.

 

(e)            Alternative
LIBO Rate. (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Facility Document, if the Administrative
Agent determines in good faith (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) or the Borrower or the Majority
Facility Agents notify the Administrative Agent (with, in the case of the Majority Facility Agents, a copy to the Borrower) that
the Borrower or the Majority Facility Agents, as applicable, have determined, that: (A) the circumstances set forth in Section 2.03(c) have
arisen and are unlikely to be temporary or (B) the circumstances set forth in Section 2.03(c) have not arisen
but either (x) the administrator of the LIBO Rate has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which the
LIBO Rate will permanently or indefinitely cease to be published by it, (y) a rate other than the LIBO Rate has become broadly
accepted as the benchmark rate for newly originated loans in Dollars in the U.S. market, or (z) the administrator of the
LIBO Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying
a specific date after which the LIBO Rate may no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans (any such date, a “LIBOR
Termination Date”), then after such determination by the Administrative Agent or receipt by the Administrative Agent
of such notice, as applicable, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall amend this Agreement to (I) replace the LIBO
Rate with an alternate benchmark rate (including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark (if any) incorporated
therein) that has been broadly accepted by the syndicated loan market in the United States in lieu of the LIBO Rate (any such
proposed rate, a “LIBOR Successor Rate”), provided that at no time shall the LIBOR Successor Rate be
less than zero for purposes of this Agreement, and (II) make LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes and, notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in Section 10.01, any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York time)
on the fifth Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Facility Agents and
the Borrower unless, prior to such time, Facility Agents comprising the Majority Facility Agents have delivered to the Administrative
Agent notice that such Majority Facility Agents do not accept such amendment.

 

    39

     

    

 

(ii)            If
no LIBOR Successor Rate has been determined and the circumstances under clause (e)(i) above exist, (A) the obligation
of any Lender to fund or maintain Loans at the LIBO Rate shall forthwith be suspended and (B) all then outstanding Loans at
the LIBO Rate, if any, shall be converted on the last day of the Interest Period or within such earlier period as required by Law
into Loans at the Base Rate. In the event of the foregoing, the Borrower may revoke any pending Borrowing Request for any Loan
to be made at the LIBO Rate by written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Facility Agents, it being understood that if
the Borrower does not revoke such Borrowing Request, the Borrower shall be deemed to have made a Borrowing Request for a Loan to
be made at the Base Rate.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the LC Issuers shall make LC Credit Extensions requested by the Borrower
from time to time; provided, that no LC Credit Extension shall be made if, after giving effect to such LC Credit Extension
(i) a Borrowing Base Deficiency would exist, (ii) the LC Obligations would exceed the LC Sublimit or (iii) the portion
of the LC Obligations attributable to Letters of Credit issued by any LC Issuer would exceed its LC Commitment.

 

(b)            Letter
of Credit Requests. To request an LC Credit Extension from an LC Issuer, the Borrower shall deliver a written request therefor,
substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto (each such request, a “Letter of Credit Request”)
to Administrative Agent and the related Facility Agent of the applicable LC Issuer not later than 12 noon (New York City time)
on the date that is at least three (3) Business Days prior to the requested Issuance Date or the Modification Date of such
Letter of Credit and include a Borrowing Base Certificate containing a pro forma calculation demonstrating the lack of a Borrowing
Base Deficiency after giving effect to such LC Credit Extension. Such Letter of Credit Request shall, unless otherwise agreed by
the applicable LC Issuer, be irrevocable and shall specify the face amount of the requested Letter of Credit, the account party
(which shall be an Originator or an Affiliate thereof) and beneficiary for the requested Letter of Credit, the requested expiration
date of such Letter of Credit and the requested Issuance Date or Modification Date, as applicable, thereof; provided, that
each Letter of Credit issued hereunder shall have a face amount of not less than $1,000,000; provided, further, that
no LC Issuer shall have any obligation to issue, modify or extend a Letter of Credit if any Committed Lender is at that time a
Defaulting Committed Lender, unless such LC Issuer is satisfied that the actual fronting exposure with respect to the Defaulting
Committed Lender’s related Lender Group Percentage of any LC Obligations in respect of issued Letters of Credit or any potential
fronting exposure arising from the Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued will be entirely covered by Cash Collateral (or
other satisfactory arrangements with respect thereto in the sole discretion of such LC Issuer shall have been made) provided to
such LC Issuer in accordance with this Agreement. Each LC Credit Extension by an LC Issuer of any Letter of Credit shall be, in
addition to the conditions precedent set forth in Article III, subject to the conditions precedent that (1) the
LC Cash Collateral Date shall not have occurred, (2) the form of such Letter of Credit shall be reasonably acceptable to such
LC Issuer, (3) such Letter of Credit shall not be issued to a Sanctioned Person or for the benefit of, or to make funds available
to, any Person to fund, finance or facilitate any activities or business of or with any Person that is, at the time of such funding,
a Sanctioned Person or in any country or territory that is at the time of such funding a Sanctioned Country or in any other manner
that would result in a violation of Sanctions or any other applicable Law by any Person (including such LC Issuer or any other
Secured Party), (4) the Borrower (and, to the extent required by the applicable LC Issuer, the applicable Originator or such
Affiliate thereof which is to be the “Account Party” with respect thereto) shall have executed and delivered such application
agreement and/or such other documentation, information, instruments and agreements relating to such Letter of Credit as the applicable
LC Issuer shall have reasonably requested, including all applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering
rules and regulations, including the PATRIOT Act (collectively, “Letter of Credit Application”), and (5) the
Borrower shall have paid, prior to the issuance, amendment, modification, renewal or extension thereof, to the applicable LC Issuer,
any accrued and unpaid Fronting Fees then owing to such LC Issuer and any Other LC Fees due and owing with respect to such Letter
of Credit. Each Letter of Credit issued or modified in connection with an LC Credit Extension or otherwise shall comply with the
provisions of Section 2.04 and the related Letter of Credit Application. The Borrower shall have the right to give
instructions and make agreements with respect to any Letter of Credit Application and the disposition of documents, and to agree
with Administrative Agent, the applicable Facility Agent and the applicable LC Issuer upon any amendment, extension or renewal
of any Letter of Credit. In no event shall an LC Issuer be obligated to issue a modification in respect of a Letter of Credit if,
on the proposed Modification Date, the applicable LC Issuer would not be obligated to issue new Letters of Credit under the terms
hereof if requested or if the beneficiary does not consent to the proposed terms of the modification.

 

    40

     

    

 

(c)            LC
Credit Extensions. The related Facility Agent for an LC Issuer shall promptly notify such LC Issuer and Lenders in its Lender
Group of the request by the Borrower for an LC Credit Extension hereunder, and shall provide the related LC Issuer with the applicable
Letter of Credit Application delivered to Administrative Agent and the applicable Facility Agent by the Borrower pursuant to clause
(b) above, by the close of business on the day received or if received on a day that is not a Business Day or on any Business
Day after 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such day, on the next Business Day.

 

(d)            Participation
Commitment. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit by an LC Issuer (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing
the Stated Amount thereof), the Committed Lenders of each Lender Group shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
agree to, purchase from such LC Issuer, a participation in such Letter of Credit (as it may be so amended) and each drawing thereunder
in an amount equal to their respective Lender Group Percentages of the Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit and the amount of
such drawing, respectively. Such participations in such LC Credit Extensions by each Committed Lender shall constitute an agreement
by such Committed Lender to make a Loan under Section 2.02 only in the event that (i) the related Letter of Credit
is subsequently drawn upon and (ii) the Conduit Lenders in its Lender Group do not fund the Lender Group Percentage of a Reimbursement
Borrowing in connection with such draw. In the event any Letter of Credit expires or is surrendered to the applicable LC Issuer
in accordance with its terms without being drawn (in whole or in part) then, in such event, the foregoing obligation of the Committed
Lenders to make such Loan in respect of such Letter of Credit shall expire to the extent of the face amount thereof which has expired
or been so surrendered.

 

    41

     

    

 

(e)            Issuance
of Letters of Credit. (i) Each Letter of Credit shall, among other things, (A) provide for the payment of sight drafts
or other written demands for payment when presented for honor thereunder in accordance with the terms thereof and when accompanied
by the documents described therein, (B) expire at or prior to the close of business on the date that is one year after the
Issuance Date or the Modification Date (if such Letter of Credit has been renewed or extended); provided, however,
that in accordance with clause (ii) of this subsection (e), a Letter of Credit may provide for the automatic renewal thereof
for additional periods which shall not extend beyond the date that is one year after its then current expiration date; provided,
further, that no Letter of Credit may be renewed or extended (automatically or otherwise) on or after the LC Cash Collateral
Date, and (C) be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the applicable LC Issuer in its sole discretion.

 

(ii)            If
the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Request or Letter of Credit Application, each LC Issuer may, in its
sole discretion, issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of
Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the LC Issuer which issued such Letter
of Credit to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the Issuance Date of such Letter
of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof and the Borrower not later than the Business Day prior to the then-current
LC Cash Collateral Date (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”). Unless otherwise directed by an LC Issuer, the Borrower
shall not be required to make a specific request to the applicable LC Issuer for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter
of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the LC Issuer to permit the extension
of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than one year after the earlier of (x) its then current expiration
date and (y) the day before the LC Cash Collateral Date; provided, however, that no LC Issuer shall permit any
such extension if (A) such LC Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time
to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof, or (B) it has received notice (which
may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is five (5) Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date
from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Transaction Party that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 3.02
is not then satisfied and directing such LC Issuer not to permit such extension.

 

(iii)            Each
LC Issuer may, at its election, or as directed in writing by the Administrative Agent or any Facility Agent (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent), deliver any notices of termination or other communications to any Letter of Credit beneficiary, and take
any other action as necessary or appropriate, at any time and from time to time, in order to cause the expiry date of any Auto-Extension
Letter of Credit issued by such LC Issuer to be a date not later than one year after the earlier of (x) its then current expiration
date and (y) the day before the LC Cash Collateral Date.

 

(iv)            The
Borrower hereby authorizes and directs each LC Issuer to name any Originator or any Affiliate of any Originator as designated by
an Originator pursuant to the Receivables Sale Agreement and specified to the applicable LC Issuer in the Letter of Credit Request
as the “Account Party” of each Letter of Credit.

 

    42

     

    

 

(f)            Letter
of Credit Participations; Disbursements, Reimbursement. (i) In the event of any request for a drawing under a Letter of
Credit issued by an LC Issuer by the beneficiary thereof, the applicable LC Issuer will promptly notify Administrative Agent, each
Facility Agent, the Servicer and the Borrower of such request (the date of such notice, if such notice is delivered prior to 2:00
p.m. (New York City time) or the following Business Day, if such notice is delivered after such time, the “Drawing
Date”). Unless (A) the Borrower has notified the LC Issuer, the Administrative Agent and the Facility Agents that
it has deposited an amount equal to the Reimbursement Obligations with respect to such drawing in the LC Collateral Account (and
the Administrative Agent has confirmed receipt of such funds) or (B) the LC Issuer notifies the Administrative Agent and the
Facility Agents that the Borrower has otherwise settled such Reimbursement Obligations to the satisfaction of the LC Issuer, upon
the delivery of such notice, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested that a Loan be made ratably by the Lender Groups on
such date with respect to such Letter of Credit in accordance with Section 2.02 (the funding of such Loan, a “Reimbursement
Borrowing”). Any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.04(f) may be oral if immediately confirmed
in writing by the party giving such notice (or by the Administrative Agent on its behalf following delivery of written confirmation
to the Administrative Agent); provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness
or binding effect of such notice.

 

(ii)            If
a Reimbursement Borrowing has been requested (or deemed requested) pursuant to clause (i) above, the Conduit Lenders
may, each at their option, and the related Committed Lenders shall if such Conduit Lenders decline to, make available to the applicable
LC Issuer an amount in immediately available funds equal to the related Lender Group Percentage of the amount of such Reimbursement
Borrowing. If any Committed Lender so notified fails to (and its related Conduit Lender(s) have elected not to) make available
to such LC Issuer the amount of such Lender Group’s Lender Group Percentage of the Reimbursement Borrowing by 12 noon (New
York City time) on the Drawing Date, the LC Issuer shall be deemed to have made a Participation Advance with respect to such amount,
and interest shall accrue on such Participation Advance, from such date to the date on which such LC Issuer is reimbursed at a
rate per annum equal to the Base Rate. From and after the Drawing Date on which the Defaulting Committed Lender failed to fund
its Lender Group Percentage of the Reimbursement Borrowing, any payment of principal, Interest or other amounts received
by the Administrative Agent or the Facility Agent of such Defaulting Committed Lender from the Borrower or the Servicer for the
account of any Lender in the Lender Group of such Defaulting Committed Lender, shall be applied, on a pro rata basis, to the repayment
of all outstanding Participation Advances that were deemed to have been made in connection with such Defaulting Committed Lender’s
failure to fund its portion of Reimbursement Borrowings, together with all Interest that has accrued on such outstanding Participation
Advances in accordance with this subclause (ii). Each LC Issuer will promptly give notice of the occurrence of a draw on
a Letter of Credit affecting it, but failure of an LC Issuer to give any such notice upon such drawing to enable any related Committed
Lender to effect such payment on such date shall not relieve any Committed Lender from its obligation under this subclause
(ii), provided that such Committed Lender shall not be obligated to pay interest as provided in this subclause (ii) until
and commencing from the Drawing Date. Each Committed Lender’s obligation under this Section 2.04 shall continue
until the occurrence of the Termination Date.

 

    43

     

    

 

(g)            Repayment
of Letter of Credit Participation Advances. (i) Upon (and only upon) receipt by an LC Issuer for its account of immediately
available funds from the Borrower (A) in reimbursement of any payment made by such LC Issuer under a Letter of Credit with
respect to which any Lender has made a payment pursuant to clause (f) above, or (B) in payment of Interest on
the Loans made or deemed to have been made in connection with any such draw, the applicable LC Issuer will pay to the applicable
Facility Agents, ratably (based on the outstanding drawn amounts funded by each such Lender Group in respect of such Letter of
Credit), in the same funds as those received by such LC Issuer; it being understood that such LC Issuer shall retain the
ratable amount of such funds that were not the subject of any payment in respect of such Letter of Credit by any Lender.

 

(ii)            If
an LC Issuer is required at any time to return to the Borrower, or to a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian, or any official
in any insolvency proceeding, any portion of the payments made by the Borrower to such LC Issuer pursuant to this Agreement or
any Letter of Credit issued by it in reimbursement of a payment made under any such Letter of Credit or interest or fee thereon
or with respect thereto, each Facility Agent (on behalf of the Committed Lenders in its Lender Group) shall, on demand of such
LC Issuer, instruct the Committed Lenders in its Lender Group to return, and such Committed Lenders shall return, to such LC Issuer
the amount of its Lender Group Percentage of any amounts so returned by such LC Issuer plus interest at the Base Rate.

 

(h)            Documentation.
The Borrower agrees to be bound by the terms of the applicable Letter of Credit Application and by the applicable LC Issuer’s
interpretations of any Letter of Credit it issues and by such LC Issuer’s written regulations and customary practices relating
to Letters of Credit, though the terms of each Letter of Credit Application, each applicable LC Issuer’s interpretation of
its Letters of Credit and each LC Issuer’s regulations and practices may be different from the Borrower’s own and from
that of another LC Issuer. In the event of a conflict or inconsistency between a Letter of Credit Application and this Agreement,
this Agreement shall control. It is understood and agreed that, except in the case of gross negligence or willful misconduct by
an LC Issuer, as determined by a final non-applicable judgment of a Court of competent jurisdiction, such LC Issuer shall not be
liable for any error, breach, negligence and/or mistakes, whether of omission or commission, in following the Borrower’s
instructions or those contained in the Letters of Credit issued by it or any modifications, amendments or supplements thereto.

 

(i)            Determination
to Honor Drawing Request. In determining whether to honor any request for drawing under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary
thereof, each LC Issuer shall be responsible only to determine that the documents and certificates required to be delivered under
such Letter of Credit have been delivered and that they comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit and
that any other drawing condition appearing on the face of such Letter of Credit has been satisfied in the manner so set forth.

 

    44

     

    

 

(j)            Nature
of Participation and Reimbursement Obligations. Each Committed Lender’s obligation in accordance with this Agreement
to fund Reimbursement Borrowings as a result of a drawing under a Letter of Credit issued by the LC Issuer under this Section 2.04
that the Conduit Lender(s) in its Lender Group do not fund, and the Reimbursement Obligations of the Borrower with respect
to any draw under a Letter of Credit, shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, shall not be subject to any defenses whatsoever
(other than, in the case of the Committed Lenders, the occurrence of the Scheduled Termination Date or the failure of the LC Credit
Extension to satisfy the terms and conditions of Section 2.04(a)), and shall be performed strictly in accordance with
the terms of this Section 2.04 under all circumstances, including each of the following circumstances:

 

(1)            any
set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Committed Lender may have against an LC Issuer, any Conduit
Lender, another Committed Lender, any Facility Agent, the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, the Servicer, any Originator, the
Performance Guarantor or any other Person for any reason whatsoever;

 

(2)            the
failure of the Borrower or any other Person to comply with the conditions set forth in this Agreement for the making of Loans,
requests for Letters of Credit or otherwise, it being acknowledged that such conditions are not required for the making of Reimbursement
Borrowings hereunder;

 

(3)            any
lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit;

 

(4)            any
claim of breach of warranty that might be made by the Borrower, the Servicer, any Originator, the Performance Guarantor, the Administrative
Agent, any LC Issuer, any Facility Agent, any Lender or any other Person against the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit, or the
existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which the Borrower, the Servicer, any Originator, the Performance Guarantor,
the Administrative Agent, any LC Issuer, any Facility Agent, any Lender or any other Person may have at any time against a beneficiary,
any successor beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit or the proceeds thereof (or any Persons for whom any such transferee
may be acting), any LC Issuer, any Conduit Lender, any Committed Lender, any Facility Agent, the Administrative Agent or any other
Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transaction (including
any underlying transaction between the Servicer, any Originator, the Performance Guarantor, the Borrower or any of their respective
Affiliates and the beneficiary for which any Letter of Credit was procured);

 

    45

     

    

 

(5)            the
lack of power or authority of any signer of, or lack of validity, sufficiency, accuracy, enforceability or genuineness of, any
draft, demand, instrument, certificate or other document presented under any Letter of Credit, or any such draft, demand, instrument,
certificate or other document proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid, defective or insufficient in any respect or any statement
therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, even if another LC Issuer, the Administrative Agent, a Facility Agent or a Lender
has been notified thereof; provided, that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse any LC Issuer from liability to
the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived
by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by such LC Issuer’s failure
to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof;
provided, further, that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the applicable LC
Issuer (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), such LC Issuer shall be deemed to have exercised care in each
such determination;

 

(6)            payment
by an LC Issuer under a Letter of Credit issued by it against presentation of a demand, draft or certificate or other document
which does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit other than as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct
of such LC Issuer;

 

(7)            the
solvency of, or any acts or omissions by, any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit, or any other Person having a role in any transaction
or obligation relating to a Letter of Credit, or the existence, nature, quality, quantity, condition, value or other characteristic
of any property or services relating to a Letter of Credit;

 

(8)            any
failure by an LC Issuer or any of an LC Issuer’s Affiliates to issue any Letter of Credit in the form requested by the Borrower;

 

(9)            any
Material Adverse Effect with respect to the Borrower, the Servicer, the Performance Guarantor, any Originator or any of their respective
Affiliates;

 

(10)          any
breach of this Agreement or any other Facility Document by any party thereto;

 

(11)          the
occurrence and/or continuance of an Advance Suspension Event, an Event of Termination or a Potential Event of Termination;

 

(12)          the
fact that this Agreement or the obligations of the Borrower or the Servicer hereunder shall have been terminated; and

 

(13)          any
other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

 

(k)            Fronting
Fees; Other LC Fees. With respect to each Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall pay to the applicable LC Issuer all fronting
fees or similar fees with respect to such Letter of Credit in the amount and otherwise in accordance with the terms agreed in writing
between the Borrower and such LC Issuer (the “Fronting Fees”). The Borrower shall pay all Fronting Fees accrued
through and including the last day of each calendar month, as reflected in an invoice delivered to the Borrower in accordance with
Section 2.05(a), in arrears, on the Interest and Fee Payment Date immediately succeeding the end of such calendar month.
The Borrower shall pay to each LC Issuer, in addition to all other amounts due hereunder, all customary expenses incurred by each
LC Issuer in connection with each Letter of Credit issued by it or the maintenance thereof and its customary drawing, amendment,
renewal, extension, processing, transfer and other applicable customary fees (collectively, “Other LC Fees”).
The Borrower shall pay all Other LC Fees on demand or as otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such LC Issuer.

 

    46

     

    

 

(l)            Liability
for Acts and Omissions. (i) As between the Borrower, on the one hand, and each LC Issuer and each other Indemnified Party,
on the other, the Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit by, the respective
beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the respective foregoing, no Indemnified Party
shall be responsible for: (A) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted
by any party in connection with the application for an issuance of any such Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to
be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged (even if such LC Issuer or such other Indemnified
Party shall have been notified thereof); provided, that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse any LC Issuer from
liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which
are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by such LC
Issuer’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit
comply with the terms thereof; provided, further, that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct
on the part of the applicable LC Issuer (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), such LC Issuer shall be deemed
to have exercised care in each such determination; (B) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning
or purporting to transfer or assign any such Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole
or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (C) the failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter
of Credit, or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred, to comply fully with any conditions required in
order to draw upon such Letter of Credit or any other claim of the Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, or
any such transferee, or any dispute between or among the Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any such transferee;
(D) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex
or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (E) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (F) any loss or delay
in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any such Letter of Credit or of the
proceeds thereof; (G) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under
such Letter of Credit; or (H) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of such Indemnified Party, and none
of the above shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of, any LC Issuer’s or any other Indemnified Party’s rights
or powers hereunder. In no event shall any of such LC Issuer or other Indemnified Party be liable to the Borrower or any other
Person for any indirect, consequential, incidental, punitive, exemplary or special damages or expenses (including attorneys’
fees), or for any damages resulting from any change in the value of any property relating to a Letter of Credit.

 

    47

     

    

 

(ii)            Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, each LC Issuer (A) may rely on any written communication believed in good faith
by such Person to have been authorized or given by or on behalf of the applicant for a Letter of Credit; (B) may honor any
presentation if the documents presented appear on their face to comply with the terms and conditions of the relevant Letter of
Credit; (C) may honor a previously dishonored presentation under a Letter of Credit, whether such dishonor was pursuant to
a court order, to settle or compromise any claim of wrongful dishonor, or otherwise, and shall be entitled to reimbursement to
the same extent as if such presentation had initially been honored, together with any interest paid by an LC Issuer or its Affiliates;
(D) may honor any drawing that is payable upon presentation of a statement advising negotiation or payment, upon receipt of
such statement (even if such statement indicates that a draft or other document is being delivered separately), and shall not be
liable for any failure of any such draft or other document to arrive, or to conform in any way with the relevant Letter of Credit;
and (E) may pay any paying or negotiating bank claiming that it rightfully honored under the laws or practices of the place
where such bank is located.

 

(iii)           In
furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions set forth above, any action taken or omitted by an LC
Issuer under or in connection with the Letters of Credit issued by it or any documents and certificates delivered thereunder, if
taken or omitted in good faith and without gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment
of a court of competent jurisdiction, shall not put such LC Issuer under any resulting liability to the Borrower, the Servicer,
the Performance Guarantor, any Originator, any Lender, any Facility Agent, the Administrative Agent or any other Person.

 

(m)            Termination
of Letters of Credit. An LC Issuer shall only terminate a given Letter of Credit (in whole or in part) upon receipt of appropriate
documentation from the beneficiary thereof or, upon the expiration thereof in accordance with its terms. Funds remaining in the
LC Collateral Account to Cash Collateralize such terminated Letter of Credit shall be applied in accordance with clause (n) of
this Section 2.04.

 

(n)            LC
Collateral Account. (i) The Administrative Agent shall maintain, in the name of the Administrative Agent, on behalf of
the Secured Parties, a segregated cash collateral account (such account the “LC Collateral Account”) at an Eligible
Account Bank selected by the Administrative Agent into which Cash Collateral shall be deposited as and when required under the
terms of this Agreement. Such deposits shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance
of the obligations of Borrower (or, with respect to Cash Collateral deposited in respect of a Defaulting Committed Lender, such
Defaulting Committed Lender) under this Agreement and the other Facility Documents. The Administrative Agent (for the benefit of
the LC Issuers and the Lenders) shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over the
LC Collateral Account. Amounts on deposit in the LC Collateral Account shall not be invested.

 

    48

     

    

 

(ii)            Amounts
on deposit in the LC Collateral Account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the applicable LC Issuer and
for fees related to the Letters of Credit and for any Reimbursement Obligations that have not been repaid by the Borrower or through
Collections and any portion of Reimbursement Borrowings that are not funded by Defaulting Committed Lenders or, if the Termination
Date has occurred to satisfy other remaining Aggregate Exposure Amounts. If on any Interest and Fee Payment Date prior to the LC
Cash Collateral Date, the balance in the LC Collateral Account in respect of all outstanding Letters of Credit exceeds the Required
LC Cash Collateral Amount as of such Interest and Fee Payment Date, then, unless an Event of Termination, an Advance Suspension
Event or a Potential Event of Termination shall exist and be continuing, the Administrative Agent shall release the excess Cash
Collateral to the Borrower.

 

(iii)           To
the extent that any Letters of Credit are outstanding and undrawn on the LC Cash Collateral Date, the LC Collateral Account shall
be funded in an amount up to the Required LC Cash Collateral Amount pursuant to Section 2.07(a)(vi) or Section 2.08(b)(v),
as applicable, it being understood that funds on deposit in the LC Collateral Account will not be used to fund draws prior to the
Termination Date. On the Interest and Fee Payment Date after the Termination Date after which all Letters of Credit have expired
or been terminated, all draws on the Letters of Credit have been reimbursed, all Participation Advances have been repaid, all Used
Fees, Fronting Fees and Other LC Fees due with respect to such Letters of Credit have been paid in full and the Final Collection
Date has occurred, all funds in the LC Collateral Account shall be remitted to the Borrower.

 

SECTION 2.05. Interest
and Fees.

 

(a)            On
each Interest and Fee Payment Date, in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 2.07 or 2.08, as
applicable, the Borrower shall pay to each Facility Agent on behalf of the Lenders in its Lender Group, all accrued and unpaid
Interest with respect to the Loans funded and maintained by such Lender Group and the Used Fees and Unused Fees, as calculated
in accordance with the Fee Letter. On or before the first Business Day after the end of each calendar month each Facility Agent
shall furnish the Borrower with an invoice setting forth the amount of the accrued and unpaid Interest, Used Fees, Unused Fees
and any Fronting Fees and Other LC Fees payable to the Lenders or the LC Issuer (if applicable) in such Facility Agent’s

owed to such parties;

 

    52

     

    

 

(iv)           fourth,
to any LC Issuers holding Participation Advances, ratably based on the portion of the aggregate outstanding Reimbursement Obligations

of a Dilution Factor, the Borrower shall be deemed to have received on such day, an amount equal to the amount of such reduction,
or in the case of a cancellation, the Outstanding Balance of such Diluted Receivable and (b) if the representations and warranties
made by an Originator with respect to a Receivable in Article V of the Receivables Sale Agreement is not true, the Borrower
shall be deemed to have received on such day, an amount equal to the Outstanding Balance of such Receivable and the related Originator
shall be obligated to pay such deemed collection to the Borrower pursuant to Section 3.3 of the Receivables Sale Agreement;
provided, that such deemed Collections may be applied to the purchase price paid to the applicable Originator for newly
purchased Receivables to the extent permitted under the Receivables Sale Agreement. If the Borrower on any day receives payments
from the Originator or Servicer on Collections deemed to have been received pursuant to this Section 2.09 from and
after the Termination Date, on such day the Borrower shall pay an amount of funds equal to such received deemed Collections to
the Servicer for allocation and application in accordance with Section 2.08.

 

SECTION 2.10. Payments and Computations, Etc.

 

(a)            All
amounts to be paid or deposited by the Borrower or the Servicer hereunder or under any other Facility Document to the Administrative

noon (New York, New York time) on the day when due in same day funds to the account for each Lender maintained by the applicable
Facility Agent as may be designated from time to time by such Facility Agent to the Borrower and the Servicer. All amounts received

forth herein, each Facility Agent shall distribute the amounts paid to it hereunder for the benefit of the Lenders in its Lender
Group to the Lenders within its Lender Group ratably (x) in the case of such amounts paid in respect of Interest and fees,
according to the Interest and fees payable to such Lenders and (y) in the case of such amounts paid in respect of the Aggregate
Principal Balance (or in respect of any other obligations other than Interest and fees), according to the outstanding portions
of the Aggregate Principal Balance funded by such Lenders.

 

    53

     

    

 

(b)           The
Borrower (with respect to amounts payable by the Borrower) or the Servicer (with respect to amounts payable by the Servicer), as
the case may be, shall, to the extent permitted by law, pay interest on any amount not paid or deposited by the Borrower or the
Servicer, as the case may be, when due and payable hereunder, at the Default Rate, payable on demand; provided, that such rate
shall not at any time exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable Law.

 

(c)           All
computations of interest under clause (b) and all computations of Interest, fees and other amounts hereunder shall
be made on the basis of a year of 360 days (or 365 or 366 days, as applicable, with respect to Interest or other amounts calculated
by reference to the Base Rate) for the actual number of days 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 Business Day and such extension of
time shall be included in the computation of such payment or deposit.

 

SECTION 2.11. [Reserved].

 

SECTION 2.12. Increased Costs.

 

(a)            Generally.
If (A) the adoption after the date hereof of any Regulatory Change or any change therein after the date hereof, (B) any
change after the date hereof in the interpretation or administration of any Regulatory Change by any Governmental Authority charged
with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance with any request or directive (whether or not having the force
of law) of any such Governmental Authority, or (c) without regard to the date of adoption, effectiveness or implementation,
any of the following or any Regulatory Change promulgated by any Governmental Authority in connection with any of the following:
(x) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, or (y) any accord or other pronouncement of the Bank
for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision or any successor or similar authority, shall:

 

(i)            subject
any Affected Person to any Taxes with respect to any Specified Matter (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described
in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Other Connection Taxes that are imposed on
or measured by net income (however denominated) or that are franchise Taxes or branch profits Taxes);

 

(ii)            impose,
modify or deem applicable any reserve, assessment, fee, insurance charge, special deposit, requirement for the maintenance of assets
or capital, liquidity or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, liabilities of or credit extended
by, any Affected Person or shall impose on any Affected Person or on the United States market for commercial paper or the London
interbank market any other condition affecting or otherwise in respect of any Specified Matter; or

 

    54

     

    

 

(iii)          impose
any other condition the result of which is to increase the cost to an Affected Person of performing its obligations under or in
connection with this Agreement, or to reduce the rate of return on Affected Person’s capital or assets as a consequence of
its obligations under or in connection with this Agreement, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by an Affected
Person, or to require any payment calculated by reference to the amount of interests or loans held or interest received by it,

 

then, promptly following demand by such
Affected Person through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of such Affected
Person, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Person for such Tax, increased cost or reduction. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no Affected Person shall be entitled to request or receive any such additional amounts for any Tax, increased cost
or reduction unless such Affected Person is otherwise generally requesting similar additional amounts from other similarly situated
Persons under facilities similar to the facility provided by this Agreement.

 

(b)            [Reserved].

 

(c)            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 Borrower shall
not be required to compensate an Affected Person pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered
more than 180 days prior to the date that such Affected Person notifies the Borrower of the Regulatory Change giving rise to such
increased costs or reductions and of such Affected Person’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the
Regulatory Change giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180 day period referred to above shall
be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

 

SECTION 2.13. Indemnity
for Taxes.

 

(a) Any and all
payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes,
except as required by applicable Law. If any applicable Law requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment
by the Borrower, then the Borrower 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 Borrower 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 Affected
Person receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. Subject to Section 2.13(b),
the Borrower shall indemnify each Affected Person for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes including Indemnified Taxes imposed
or asserted on or attributable to amount 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.

 

    55

     

    

 

(b)            Each
Affected Person will promptly notify the Borrower in writing of any event of which it has knowledge, which will entitle such Affected
Person to compensation pursuant to this Section 2.13; provided, however, that failure of any Affected
Person to demand indemnification for any Indemnified Taxes shall not constitute a waiver of such right to indemnification, except
that the Borrower shall not be required to indemnify an Affected Person for Taxes under this Section 2.13 unless such
Affected Person notifies the Borrower of such claim no later than 180 days after such Affected Person has knowledge of such Taxes
being imposed or arising. Any notice claiming compensation under this Section 2.13 shall set forth in reasonable detail
the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder and shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The Borrower
shall be obligated to pay any claim for Indemnified Taxes within 10 days upon receipt of such written notice (other than Indemnified
Taxes and expenses payable by reason of the action or inaction of the applicable Affected Person); provided that if the
Borrower reasonably believes that such Taxes were not correctly or legally asserted, the Affected Person will use reasonable efforts
to cooperate with the Borrower to obtain a refund of such Taxes (which shall be paid in accordance with Section 2.13(c))
so long as such efforts would not, in the sole determination of the Affected Person, result in any additional costs or expenses
or be otherwise disadvantageous to the Affected Person.

 

(c)            The
Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative
Agent timely reimburse for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

 

(d)            If
an Affected Person 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 by the Borrower, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity
payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.13 with respect to the Taxes giving
rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Affected Person and without interest (other than any interest paid
by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund net of any applicable Taxes payable in respect of such interest);
provided, that the Borrower agrees to repay each such Affected Person, promptly after the request of such Affected Person,
the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority)
in the event such Affected Person is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary, in no event will any Affected Person be required to pay any amount to the Borrower the payment of which would place
such Affected Person in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such Affected Person would have been in if the Taxes 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 Taxes had never been paid. This Section 2.13 shall not be construed
to require any Affected Person to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems
confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

 

(e)            If
any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12, or requires the Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional
amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to this Section 2.13, then
such Lender shall (at the request of the Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or
booking its portion of Aggregate Exposure Amount hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its
offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or
reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.12 or Section 2.13, as the case may be, in the future, and
(ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense, would not otherwise be disadvantageous or burdensome
to such Lender and would not otherwise require such Lender to take any action inconsistent with its internal policies or legal
or regulatory restrictions. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection
with any such designation or assignment.

 

    56

     

    

 

(f)            (I) If
any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12, the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional
amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.13 and, in
each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with paragraph (e) of
this Section, (II) if any Committed Lender becomes a Defaulting Committed Lender or (III) if any Lender is a Non-Consenting
Lender, then, in each case, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to the Facility Agent of such Lender
Group and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender Group to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and
subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.03), all of its interests, rights (other
than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 2.12 or Section 2.13) and obligations under this
Agreement and the related Specified Matter to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another
Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that:

 

(i)            the
Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 10.03;

 

(ii)            the
Borrower shall have received consent from the Administrative Agent and each LC Issuer (other than any LC Issuer that is part of
the Lender Group that is being replaced), which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed;

 

(iii)           such
Lender Group shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Aggregate Exposure Amount, accrued
interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding
principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

 

(iv)           in
the case of any assignment by a Lender Group resulting from a Lender in such Lender Group becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the
applicable assignee Lender Group shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent;

 

(v)            in
the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.12 or payments required to
be made pursuant to Section 2.13, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

 

(vi)           such
assignment does not conflict with applicable Law; and

 

    57

     

    

 

(vii)          all
Letters of Credit issued by the LC Issuer in such Lender Group shall have been canceled or terminated and all accrued and unpaid
fees related thereto shall have been paid in full.

 

A Lender Group shall
not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise,
the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

 

SECTION 2.14. Taxes;
FATCA.

 

(a)            Each
Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent, on the Effective Date (or, if later, on the date on which

to Taxes, (ii) if applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction, and (iii) such Lender’s (or such other
Affected Person’s) entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction of, applicable Taxes in respect of all payments
to be made to such Lender (or such other Affected Person) by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise to establish

Lender (or Foreign Affected Party) is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender (or Foreign
Affected Party) are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender (or Foreign Affected Party) may provide a U.S.
Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit L-4 on behalf of any such direct or indirect partner,
or

 

(E)            duly
completed executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable Laws as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction
in United States federal withholding Tax together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Laws
to permit the Borrower, the Performance Guarantor or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required
to be made.

 

(iii)            If
a payment made hereunder to any Lender (or other Affected Person) would be subject to United States federal withholding Tax imposed
by FATCA if such Lender (or such other 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 Lender (or such other
Affected Person) shall deliver to the Borrower, the applicable Facility Agent and the Administrative Agent at the time or times
prescribed by Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower, the applicable Facility Agent 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 Borrower, the applicable Facility Agent or the Administrative Agent
as may be necessary for the Borrower, the applicable Facility Agent or the Administrative Agent to comply with its obligations
under FATCA and to determine that such Lender (or such other Affected Person) has complied with such Lender’s (or such other
Affected Person’s) obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for
purposes of this clause (iii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Effective Date.

 

    59

     

    

 

(c)            Each
Lender (and each Affected Person, other than the Lenders, that receives a payment under any Facility Document) shall promptly notify
the Borrower, the applicable Facility Agent and the Administrative Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or render
invalid any claimed exemption or reduction.

 

SECTION 2.15. Security
Interest. As security for the performance by the Borrower of all the terms, covenants and agreements on the part of the Borrower
to be performed under this Agreement or any other Facility Document, including the payment when due of all Borrower Obligations,
the Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in all of the
Borrower’s right, title and interest in, to and under the following (collectively, the “Collateral”):

 

(a)            all
Pool Receivables, whether now owned and existing or hereafter acquired or arising, together with all Related Security and Collections
with respect thereto;

 

(b)            the
Collection Account, the LC Collateral Account, each Deposit Account and each Lock-Box, including, without limitation, (i) all
Collections held therein and all certificates and instruments, if any, from time to time representing or evidencing any of such
accounts or any Collections held therein, (ii) all investment property and other financial assets representing Collections
or proceeds thereof held in, or acquired with funds from, such accounts and all certificates and instruments from time to time
representing or evidencing such investment property and financial assets, (iii) all notes, certificates of deposit and other
instruments from time to time hereafter delivered or transferred to, or otherwise possessed by, the Administrative Agent in substitution
for any of the then existing accounts and (iv) all interest, dividends, cash, instruments, financial assets, investment property
and other property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any and all
of such accounts, in each case, related to Pool Receivables; and

 

(c)            to
the extent not included in the foregoing, all Proceeds of any and all of the foregoing.

 

The Borrower hereby authorizes the filing
of financing statements, and continuation statements and amendments thereto and assignments thereof, describing the collateral
covered thereby as “all of debtor’s personal property or assets whether now owned or hereafter acquired” or words
to that effect, notwithstanding that such wording may be broader in scope than the collateral described in this Section 2.15.
This Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law. Each of the Borrower, each Lender, each LC Issuer and
the Administrative Agent represents and warrants as to itself that each remittance of Collections and other property by the Borrower
hereunder will have been (i) in payment of a debt incurred by the Borrower in the ordinary course of business or financial
affairs of the Borrower, the Lenders, the LC Issuers and the Administrative Agent and (ii) made in the ordinary course of
business or financial affairs of the Borrower, the Lenders, the LC Issuers and the Administrative Agent.

 

    60

     

    

 

SECTION 2.16. Release
of Security Interest. After giving effect to the distributions made pursuant to Section 2.08 on the Final Collection Date,
the security interest granted pursuant to Section 2.15 shall terminate. If a Receivable has been reconveyed to an Originator
pursuant to Section 3.4 of the Receivables Sale Agreement, the security interest in such Receivable and the Related Security
with respect thereto shall automatically terminate. The Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver to the Borrower, at the
Borrower’s expense, all documents that the Borrower shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release and
shall perform such other actions reasonably requested by the Borrower to effect and document such release.

 

SECTION 2.17. Evidence
of Debt. Each Lender shall maintain an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting
from each Loan made by such Lender from time to time, including the outstanding principal balance of such Loans and the amount
of Interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. The entries made in such accounts of the Lenders shall
be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided, however, that the failure
of any Lender to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay
the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

any Facility Agent, any Lender or any LC Issuer for purposes of or in connection with this Agreement, any Monthly Report, any of
the other Facility Documents or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby is, and all such information hereafter furnished
by the Borrower or any of its Affiliates to the Administrative Agent, any Facility Agent, any Lender or any LC Issuer will be,
true and complete in every material respect on the date such information is stated or certified and does not and will not contain
any material misstatement of fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading.

 

(i)             Location
of Borrower; Location of Records. The Borrower is organized solely under the laws of the State of Delaware, and the Borrower’s
 “location” (within the meaning of Section 9-307 of the UCC) is Delaware or such other jurisdiction pursuant to

(j)             Collection
Information. The names and addresses of all Payment Processors and Deposit Account Banks, together with the account numbers
of the Deposit Accounts and associated Lock-Box numbers are as specified in Exhibit F. The Lock-Boxes set forth on
Exhibit F are the only addresses to which Obligors and Payment Processors of Pool Receivables are directed to make

of the UCC) of any Deposit Account or the right to take control of any Deposit Account at a future time or upon the occurrence
of a future event.

 

(k)            Legal
Name; No Trade Names. The Borrower’s complete limited liability company name is set forth in the preamble to this Agreement
(or such other name pursuant to Section 5.03(g)), and other than pursuant to Section 5.03(g), and it does
not use and has not during the last year used any other limited liability company name, trade name, doing-business name or fictitious
name.

The Borrower does not own or hold, directly or indirectly (i) any capital stock or equity security of, or any equity interest

and the Collection Account). The Borrower has no Subsidiaries.

 

(m)            Facility
Documents. The Receivables Sale Agreement is the only agreement pursuant to which the Borrower directly or indirectly purchases
Receivables or any other accounts receivable from the Originators and the Facility Documents delivered to the Administrative Agent
represent all agreements between the Originators and the Borrower relating to the transfer of the Receivables except for other
agreements related to the transactions that are permitted by Section 5.03(k).

 

(n)            Business.
Since its formation, the Borrower has conducted no business other than entering into and performing its obligations under the Facility
Documents to which it is a party, and such other activities as are incidental to the foregoing. The Facility Documents to which
it is a party, and any agreements entered into in connection with the transactions that are permitted by Section 5.03(k),

books.

 

(p)            Solvency;

the Bankruptcy Code), (ii) is able to pay its debts as they come due, (iii) has a tangible net worth, at all times, equal
to the greater of (x) 2.00% of the Facility Limit as of such date and (y) $16,500,000, and (iv) does not have unreasonably
small capital for the business in which it is engaged or for any business or transaction in which it is about to engage. The Borrower
has no Indebtedness (whether matured or unmatured) outstanding other than as permitted by or contemplated by the Facility Documents
(including the Subordinated Note). Each remittance of Collections by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to the Facility Documents
and any related accounts or amounts owing hereunder in respect of the Credit Extensions will have been (i) in payment of a
debt incurred by the Borrower in the ordinary course of business or financial affairs of the Borrower and (ii) made in the
ordinary course of business or financial affairs of the Borrower.

 

    65

     

    

 

(q)            Investment
Company, Etc. The Borrower is neither (i) an “investment company” or a company “controlled by an investment
company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”),
nor (ii) a “covered fund” under Section 13 of the U.S. Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and
the applicable rules and regulations thereunder (the “Volcker Rule”). In determining that the Borrower
is not a covered fund, the Borrower is entitled to rely on the exemption from the definition of “investment company”
set forth in Section 3(c)(5) of the Investment Company Act.

 

(r)            Use
of Proceeds. No proceeds of any Credit Extension or Release shall be used for purposes that violate Regulations T, U or X of

any shares of capital stock of the Borrower by any other Person.

Ownership Certification. As of the Effective Date, the information included in the Beneficial Ownership Certification for the
Borrower is true and correct in all respects.

 

(u)            Eligibility.
Each Receivable included as an Eligible Receivable in the calculation of the Net Receivables Balance satisfies the requirements
of eligibility contained in the definition of “Eligible Receivable” as of the date of such inclusion.

to Originators. With respect to each Pool Receivable, the Borrower shall have purchased such Pool Receivable from an Originator
in exchange for payment made by such Originator in accordance with the provisions of the Receivables Sale Agreement in an amount
which constitutes fair consideration and reasonably equivalent value. No such sale shall have been made for or on account of an
antecedent debt owed by the Originator to the Borrower and no such sale is or may be voidable or subject to avoidance under any
section of the Bankruptcy Code.

 

(w)            Material
Adverse Effect. Since its most recent fiscal year end, there has been no change in the business, operations, financial condition,
properties or assets of the Borrower that would have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(x)            No
Advance Suspension Event, Event of Termination or Potential Event of Termination. No event (i) has occurred and is continuing
that constitutes an Event of Termination, or (ii) if this representation is made in connection with any Credit Extension or
any Release, has occurred or would result from a Credit Extension or a Release in respect of the Pool Receivables or from the application
of the proceeds therefrom, that constitutes an Advance Suspension Event, an Event of Termination or a Potential Event of Termination.

 

    66

     

    

 

(y)            Compliance

with regard to the Pool Receivables and the related Contracts and has not made any change to such Credit and Collection Policy
other than as permitted under Section 5.03(c).

Status. The Borrower is treated as an entity that is disregarded as separate from its owner (as defined in Treasury Regulation
Section 301.7701-2(a)) for United States federal income tax purposes. The entity from which the Borrower is disregarded as
a separate entity is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code.

 

Provided, that any incorrect representation
or warranty made or deemed made (other than any representation or warranty with respect to any Pool Receivable that would not cause
any material liability or potential material liability for the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party) that
is capable of being cured shall not be deemed to have been false or incorrect when made or deemed made unless it has not been so
cured within 30 days after any Secured Party gives notice thereof to the Borrower or the Borrower otherwise obtains knowledge thereof
and, provided, further, that any incorrect representation or warranty made or deemed made with respect to any Pool
Receivable that would not cause any material liability or potential material liability for the Borrower, the Administrative Agent
or any other Secured Party and that, with the removal of such Pool Receivable from the calculation of Net Receivables Balance,
does not cause a Borrowing Base Default shall not be deemed to have been false or incorrect when made.

in accordance with this Section 6.01. Until the Administrative Agent, with the consent or at the direction of the Facility
Agents, gives notice to the Borrower and the Servicer of the designation of a new Servicer as provided in Section 6.01(b) below,
NRG Retail LLC is hereby designated as, and hereby agrees to perform the duties and obligations of, the Servicer pursuant to the
terms hereof. The Borrower hereby grants to Servicer an irrevocable power of attorney, with full power of substitution, coupled
with an interest, to take in the name of the Borrower any and all steps which are necessary or advisable to endorse, negotiate
or otherwise realize on any writing or other right of any kind in connection with any Pool Receivable or other Collateral.

 

(b)         Upon
the occurrence of any Event of Termination that has not been waived in writing, the Administrative Agent (i) shall at the
request of the Majority Facility Agents or, at any time during which there are only two Facility Agents, at the request of either
Facility Agent, or (ii) may with the consent of the Majority Facility Agents, (A) by written notice to the parties hereto
designate as Servicer any Person to succeed NRG Retail LLC (or any successor Servicer) subject to the condition that any such Person
so designated shall agree to perform the duties and obligations of the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof and such replacement
servicer shall have all required licenses and shall conduct its servicing at all times so as to not cause Borrower or any of its
Affiliates to violate any applicable Law and (B) instruct the Borrower or the Servicer to give notice of the Administrative
Agent’s interest in the Pool Receivables to each Obligor, which notice shall direct that payments be made directly to the
Administrative Agent or its designee (for the benefit of each Secured Party), and the Borrower or the Servicer, as the case may
be, shall give such notice at the expense of the Borrower or the Servicer, as the case may be; provided, that if the Borrower
or the Servicer, as the case may be, fails to so notify each Obligor within 30 days after receipt of such instruction, the Administrative
Agent (at the Borrower’s or the Servicer’s, as the case may be, expense) may so notify the Obligors. The Servicer shall
not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except upon the reasonable determination by the Servicer that (x) the
performance of its duties hereunder is no longer permissible under applicable law and (y) there is no reasonable action which
the Servicer could take to make the performance of its duties hereunder permissible under applicable law.

 

    	 	87	 

     

    

 

(c)         NRG
Retail LLC and any other Servicer agrees that, upon its resignation or replacement as Servicer pursuant to Section 6.01(b) above,
it will cooperate with the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the successor Servicer in effecting the termination of its responsibilities
and rights as Servicer hereunder, including, without limitation, using commercially reasonable efforts in (i) assisting the

promptly upon receipt, to the successor Servicer or to the Borrower, any Collections or other amounts related to the Pool Receivables

and acting as data processing agent for such successor Servicer if requested. Upon the resignation or replacement of NRG Retail
LLC as Servicer, NRG Retail LLC shall no longer be entitled to the Servicer Fee accruing from and after the effective date of such

(d)         The
Servicer may delegate its duties and obligations hereunder to any sub-servicer (each a “Sub-Servicer”); provided,
that, in each such delegation (i) the Servicer shall remain primarily liable for the performance of the duties and obligations
so delegated; (ii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender Group shall have the right to look solely to the
Servicer for performance; (iii) unless such Sub-Servicer is a Utility that is providing invoicing services to an Originator,

Servicer hereunder by giving notice of its desire to terminate such agreement to the Servicer (and the Servicer shall provide appropriate
notice to each such Sub-Servicer) and (iv) unless such Sub-Servicer is an Originator, another Affiliate of the Servicer or
a Utility that is providing invoicing services to an Originator, the Administrative Agent shall have consented in writing in advance
to such delegation. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 6.01(d) shall not apply to any Payment Processor,
any third party collection agency collecting Defaulted Receivables or any other third party service provider assisting in the servicing
of the Defaulted Receivables. None of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the members of the Lender Groups shall have any
obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to any Sub-Servicer, Payment Processor, any third party collection agency collecting
Defaulted Receivables or any other third party service provider assisting in the servicing of the Defaulted Receivables

time to time, all in accordance, in all material respects, with applicable laws, tariffs, rules, regulations and the Credit and
Collection Policy. Each of the Borrower, each Lender, each LC Issuer, each Liquidity Provider, each Facility Agent and the Administrative
Agent hereby appoints as its agent the Servicer, from time to time designated pursuant to Section 6.01, to enforce
its respective rights and interests in and under the Pool Receivables and the Related Security. The Servicer (so long as it is
NRG Retail LLC) will at all times apply the same standards and follow the same procedures with respect to the decision to commence
litigation with respect to the Pool Receivables, and in prosecuting and litigating with respect to Pool Receivables, as it applies
and follows with respect to trade accounts receivable serviced by it which are not Pool Receivables; provided, however,
that from and after an Event of Termination, the Servicer shall commence or settle any legal action to enforce collection of any
Delinquent Receivable or Defaulted Receivable as directed by the Administrative Agent; provided, further, that the
Servicer shall not be required to take any action that (i) is contrary to any applicable law or (ii) any existing applicable
agreement. In no event shall the Servicer be entitled to make the Administrative Agent, any Facility Agent, any Lender or any Liquidity
Provider a party to any litigation without the such Person’s express prior written consent.

 

(b)         In
the event the Servicer receives any Collections or other proceeds of the Collateral, it shall hold such Collections and other proceeds
on behalf of the Borrower for application and remittance in accordance with Section 2.07 or 2.08, as applicable,
and it shall remit the same to the Collection Account or, if the Collection Account is not established, the Designated Deposit
Account to the extent required hereunder. The Borrower shall deliver to the Servicer, and the Servicer shall hold in trust for
the Borrower, the Lenders and the Liquidity Providers in accordance with their respective interests, all books and records.

 

(c)         The
Servicer shall, as soon as practicable following receipt, turn over to the Person entitled thereto collections in respect of any
receivable which is not a Pool Receivable less, to the extent the Servicer performed any collection or enforcement actions which
it was authorized by such Person to perform, all reasonable and appropriate out of pocket costs and expenses of such Servicer incurred
in collecting and enforcing such receivable.

 

SECTION 6.03. Deposit
Account and Lock-Box Arrangements.

 

(a)         On
or prior to the Effective Date, the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent a Deposit Account Control Agreement
in respect of each Deposit Account identified on Exhibit F as of the Effective Date. Each Deposit Account Control Agreement
for the Deposit Accounts shall provide the Administrative Agent with “control” within the meaning of Section 9-104
of the UCC over such Deposit Accounts. Neither the Borrower nor the Servicer shall, or shall permit, any other Person to, attempt
to close any Deposit Account unless the Collections directed to such Deposit Account are redirected to another Deposit Account
subject to a Deposit Account Control Agreement.

 

    	 	89	 

     

    

 

(b)         If
at any time, a Deposit Account Bank has a short term unsecured debt rating lower than A-1 by Standard & Poor’s or
P-1 by Moody’s (each a “Low Ratings Deposit Account Bank”), the Administrative may (and at the direction
of the Majority Facility Agents, shall) require that the Borrower open new Deposit Accounts with a new Deposit Account Bank having
such ratings. Such establishment of new deposit accounts and the execution and delivery of appropriate Deposit Account Control
Agreements shall be completed promptly but in any event no later than thirty (30) days following the Administrative Agent’s
notice. If any Deposit Account remains at the applicable Low Ratings Deposit Account Bank ninety (90) days after the Administrative
Agent’s delivery of such notice it shall cease to be eligible Deposit Account Bank for all purposes hereunder (but the Administrative
Agent shall not be under any obligation to terminate any existing Deposit Account Control Agreements until such time as no Collections
are received by such non-eligible bank).

 

SECTION 6.04. Rights of the Administrative
Agent.

 

(a)         Following
the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Termination, the Administrative Agent (i) shall at the request
of the Majority Facility Agents or, at any time during which there are only two Facility Agents, at the request of either Facility
Agent, or (ii) may with the consent of the Majority Facility Agents, exercise its right to take exclusive ownership and control
of the Collection Account, the Lock-Boxes and the Deposit Accounts (including the Designated Deposit Account), and each of the
Borrower and the Servicer hereby agrees to take any further action necessary that the Administrative Agent may reasonably request
to effect such control. From and after the date the Administrative Agent exercises its right to take exclusive control of the Collection
Account, or if the Collection Account has not been established, the Designated Deposit Account, all withdrawals and distributions
to be made from the Collection Account, the Designated Deposit Account or any other Deposit Account by the Servicer hereunder shall
be made by the Administrative Agent.

 

(b)         The
Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable power of attorney, with full power of substitution, coupled with
an interest, to take in the name of the Borrower, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Termination
and the Termination Date has been declared or has automatically occurred pursuant to Section 7.01, any and all steps
which are necessary or advisable to endorse, negotiate or otherwise realize on any writing or other right of any kind in connection
with any Pool Receivable or other Collateral.

 

(c)         At
any time after the Effective Date, the Administrative Agent may, and upon the request of the Majority Facility Agents shall, cause
the Collection Account to be established. The Collection Account shall be established in the name of the Administrative Agent at
an Eligible Account Bank selected by the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control
over the Collection Account and the authority to direct the disposition of the funds in the Collection Account without the consent
of the Borrower; provided that until the Administrative Agent provides such instructions to such Eligible Account Bank (in
accordance with Section 6.04(a)), such Eligible Account Bank shall be entitled to comply with instructions originated
by the Servicer directing disposition of the funds in the Collection Account.

 

    	 	90	 

     

    

 

(d)         Each
of the Borrower and the Servicer hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of each Lender Group), and irrevocably
appoints the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of each Lender Group) as its attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution
and with full authority in the place and stead of the Borrower or the Servicer, as applicable, which appointment is coupled with
an interest, to take any and all steps in the name of the Borrower or the Servicer, as applicable, and on behalf of the Borrower
or the Servicer, as applicable, as may be necessary or desirable, in the reasonable determination of the Administrative Agent to
collect any and all amounts or portions thereof due under any and all Collateral, including endorsing the name of the Borrower
or the Servicer, as applicable, on all checks and other instruments representing Collections and enforcing such 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. The Administrative Agent
shall only be entitled to act as contemplated in this clause (d) while an Event of Termination is continuing or after
the Termination Date has been declared pursuant to Section 7.01.

 

SECTION 6.05. Responsibilities of the Borrower.
Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower shall (i) perform all of its obligations with respect to the
Pool Receivables to the same extent as if a security interest in the Pool Receivables had not been granted hereunder and the exercise
by the Administrative Agent of its rights hereunder shall not relieve Borrower from such obligations and (ii) pay when due
any taxes, including without limitation, sales, excise and personal property taxes payable by it in connection with the Pool Receivables.
None of the Administrative Agent, the Facility Agents, the Lenders or the Liquidity Providers shall have any obligation or liability
with respect to any Pool Receivables or other Collateral, nor shall any of them be obligated to perform any of the obligations
of the Borrower thereunder.

 

SECTION 6.06. Further Action Evidencing Administrative
Agent’s Interest. Each of the Borrower and the Servicer agrees that from time to time, at its expense, it will promptly
execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action that the Administrative Agent, any Lender,
any LC Issuer or any Facility Agent may reasonably request in order to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the interest of
the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties granted hereunder or pursuant to any other Facility Document or to enable the Administrative
Agent or any LC Issuer to exercise or enforce any of its or any of the Secured Parties’ rights hereunder or under any other
Facility Document. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the Borrower and the Servicer will (i) code its
master data processing records evidencing such Pool Receivables to evidence that a security interest therein has been granted to
the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, and (ii) upon the request of the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any LC Issuer
or any Facility Agent, file such financing statements, continuation statements or amendments thereto or assignments thereof, and
execute and file such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or appropriate or as the Administrative Agent, any Lender,
any LC Issuer or any Facility Agent may reasonably request. If after the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of
Termination, either the Borrower or the Servicer fails to perform any of its respective agreements or obligations under this Agreement,
the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be required to) itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement or obligation,
and the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the
Borrower or the Servicer, as applicable, upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor.

negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party as determined by a final, non-appealable order of a court of law; (y) for
which indemnification would constitute recourse (except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement to be paid by the

of liability for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (including, without limitation, any loss of profits,
business or anticipated savings); provided, however, that the forgoing is not intended to limit any obligation of
any Transaction Party to reimburse any Indemnified Party hereunder for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages
which such Indemnified Party is required to pay to any Person.

 

SECTION 8.03. Limited
Liability of Indemnified Parties. No Indemnified Party shall have any liability (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) to
Transaction Party or any of their security holders or creditors for or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby,
except to the extent such liability is determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have
resulted primarily from such Indemnified Party's gross negligence or willful misconduct or breach of its obligations under this
Agreement. In no event, however, shall any Indemnified Party be liable on any theory of liability for any special, indirect, consequential
or punitive damages (including, without limitation, any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings).

ARTICLE IX

THE AGENTS

 

SECTION 9.01. Authorization
and Action.

 

(a)       Each Lender,
LC Issuer and Facility Agent hereby irrevocably designates and appoints RBC, as the “Administrative Agent” hereunder
and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative
Agent hereby and to exercise such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent shall have no duties
or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement or in the other Facility Documents. The duties of the Administrative
Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature. At no time shall the Administrative Agent have any duty or responsibility
to any Person to investigate or confirm the correctness or accuracy of any information or documents delivered to it in its role
as Administrative Agent hereunder or any obligation in respect of the failure of any Person (other than the Administrative Agent)
to perform any obligation hereunder or under any other Facility Document. The Administrative Agent shall not have, by reason of
this Agreement, a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Facility Agent, Lender LC Issuer or Transaction Party. Nothing in this
Agreement or any of the Facility Documents, express or implied, is intended to or shall be construed to impose upon the Administrative
Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or any of the Facility Documents except as expressly set forth herein or therein.
The Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender,
LC Issuer or any Facility Agent with any credit or other information with respect to any Transaction Party or their Affiliates,
whether coming into its possession before the Closing Date or at any time or times thereafter.

 

(b)       Each
Lender and LC Issuer hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the respective institution identified as the Facility Agent for
such Lender’s or LC Issuer’s Lender Group on the signature pages hereto or in the Joinder Agreement or Assignment
and Acceptance pursuant to which such Lender or LC Issuer becomes a party hereto, and each authorizes such Facility Agent to take
such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly
delegated to such Facility Agent by the terms of this Agreement, if any, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental
thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, no Facility Agent shall have any duties or
responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, LC Issuer or other Facility
Agent or the Administrative Agent, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities on
the part of such Facility Agent shall be read into this Agreement or otherwise exist against such Facility Agent.

 

(c)       Except
as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, the provisions of this Article IX are solely for the benefit
of the Facility Agents, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the LC Issuers, and none of the Transaction Parties shall have
any rights as a third party beneficiary or otherwise under any of the provisions of this Article IX, except that this
Article IX shall not affect any obligations which any Facility Agent, the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any LC
Issuer may have to any Transaction Party under the other provisions of this Agreement. Furthermore, no Lender or LC Issuer shall
have any rights as a third-party beneficiary or otherwise under any of the provisions hereof in respect of a Facility Agent which
is not the Facility Agent for such Lender or LC Issuer.

 

    	 	99	 

     

    

 

(d)       In
performing its functions and duties hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall act solely as the agent of the Lenders, LC Issuers
and the Facility Agents and does not assume nor shall be deemed to have assumed any obligation or relationship of trust or agency
with or for any Transaction Party or any of their successors and assigns. In performing its functions and duties hereunder, each
Facility Agent shall act solely as the agent of its respective Lenders and LC Issuers and does not assume nor shall be deemed to
have assumed any obligation or relationship of trust or agency with or for any Transaction Party, any other Facility Agent or the
Administrative Agent, or any of their respective successors and assigns.

 

SECTION 9.02. Agents’
Reliance, Etc. (a) Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Facility Agent nor any of their respective directors, officers,
agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Facility Agent or the Administrative
Agent under or in connection with this Agreement, (i) with the consent or at the direction of the Majority Facility Agents
(or in the case of any Facility Agent, the Lenders and the LC Issuers within its Lender Group that have a majority of the aggregate
Commitments of such Lender Group) or (ii) in the absence of such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the Administrative Agent and the Facility Agents: (i) may consult with legal
counsel (including counsel for the Performance Guarantor, the Borrower, the Servicer or any other Affiliate of the Performance
Guarantor), independent 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; (ii) makes no warranty
or representation to any Lender and shall not be responsible to any Lender for any statements, warranties or representations made
in or in connection with this Agreement; (iii) 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 the Performance Guarantor, the Borrower,
the Servicer or any other Affiliate of Performance Guarantor or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of the
Performance Guarantor, the Borrower, the Servicer or any other Affiliate of Performance Guarantor; (iv) shall not be responsible
to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or
any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; and (v) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement
by acting 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. The Administrative Agent shall not be
responsible to any Lender, LC Issuer, Facility Agent or other Person for (i) any recitals, representations, warranties or
other statements made by any Transaction Party or any of their Affiliates, (ii) the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness,
enforceability or sufficiency of any Facility Document, (iii) any failure of any Transaction Party or any of their Affiliates
to perform any obligation hereunder or under the other Facility Documents to which it is a party (or under any Contract), or (iv) the
satisfaction of any condition specified in Article III.

 

    	 	100	 

     

    

 

(b)       Each Facility
Agent and the Administrative Agent shall in all cases be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any document
or other writing or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person
and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts
selected by the Administrative Agent. Each Facility Agent and the Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in
failing or refusing to take any action under any Facility Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of
the Majority Facility Agents (or in the case of any Facility Agent, the Lenders and the LC Issuers within its Lender Group that
have a majority of the aggregate Commitment of such Lender Group), and assurance of its indemnification, as it deems appropriate.

 

(c)       The
Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement in accordance
with a request of the Majority Facility Agents, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall
be binding upon all Lenders, LC Issuers, the Administrative Agent and Facility Agents.

 

(d)       The
Lenders and LC Issuers within each Lender Group with a majority of the Commitments of such Lender Group shall be entitled to request
or direct the related Facility Agent to take action, or refrain from taking action, under this Agreement on behalf of such Lenders
and LC Issuers. Such Facility Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement
in accordance with a request of such Lenders and LC Issuers, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto
shall be binding upon all of such Facility Agent’s Lenders and LC Issuers.

 

(e)       Unless
otherwise advised in writing by a Facility Agent or by any Lenders or LC Issuers on whose behalf such Facility Agent is purportedly
acting, each party to this Agreement may assume that (i) such Facility Agent is acting for the benefit of each of the Lenders
and LC Issuers in respect of which such Facility Agent is identified as being the “Facility Agent” in the definition
of “Facility Agent” hereto, as well as for the benefit of each assignee or other transferee from any such Person, and
(ii) each action taken by such Facility Agent has been duly authorized and approved by all necessary action on the part of
the Lenders and LC Issuers on whose behalf it is purportedly acting. Each Facility Agent and its Lenders and LC Issuers shall agree
amongst themselves as to the circumstances and procedures for removal, resignation and replacement of such Facility Agent.

 

(f)            Neither
any Facility Agent nor the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Advance Suspension
Event, Event of Termination or Potential Event of Termination unless the Administrative Agent and the Facility Agents have received
notice from any Lender, LC Issuer or a Transaction Party stating that an Advance Suspension Event, an Event of Termination or an
Potential Event of Termination has occurred hereunder and describing such Advance Suspension Event, Event of Termination or Potential
Event of Termination. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, it shall promptly give notice thereof
to each Facility Agent whereupon each such Facility Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to its related Lenders and LC Issuers,
if applicable. In the event that a Facility Agent receives such a notice (other than from the Administrative Agent), it shall promptly
give notice thereof to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall take such action concerning an Advance Suspension
Event, an Event of Termination or an Potential Event of Termination as may be directed by the Majority Facility Agents (unless
such action otherwise requires the consent of all Lenders and LC Issuers), but until the Administrative Agent receives such directions,
the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, as the Administrative
Agent deems advisable and in the best interests of the Lenders and the Facility Agents.

 

    	 	101	 

     

    

 

SECTION 9.03. Agents
and Affiliates. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the LC Issuers and the Facility Agents and any of their respective
Affiliates may extend credit to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, debt, equity or other
business with any Transaction Party or any of their Affiliates. With respect to the acquisition of the Eligible Receivables pursuant
to this Agreement, each of the Facility Agents and the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement
as any Lender or LC Issuer and may exercise the same as though it were not such an agent, and the terms “Lender,” “LC
Issuer,” “Lenders” and “LC Issuers” shall include, to the extent applicable, each of the Facility
Agents and the Administrative Agent in their individual capacities.

 

SECTION 9.04. Decision
to Extend Credit. Each Lender and LC Issuer expressly acknowledges that none of the Administrative Agent, the Facility Agents
nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made any representations
or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent, or any Facility Agent hereafter taken, including any review of
the affairs of any Transaction Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent
or such Facility Agent, as applicable. Each Lender and each LC Issuer acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance
upon the Administrative Agent, any Facility Agent, any of their respective Affiliates or any other Lender, and based on such documents
and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own evaluation and decision to enter into this Agreement and, if it so determines,
to make Credit Extensions hereunder. Each Lender and each LC Issuer also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance
upon the Administrative Agent, any Facility Agent, any of their respective Affiliates, or any other Lender or LC Issuer, and based
on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not
taking action under this Agreement. Except for items specifically required to be delivered hereunder, the Administrative Agent
shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Facility Agent with any information concerning any Transaction Party or
any of their Affiliates that comes into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees,
agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.

 

SECTION 9.05. Delegation
of Duties. The Administrative Agent and each Facility Agent may each execute any of its duties under this Agreement by or through
agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Neither
the Administrative Agent nor any Facility Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact
selected by it with reasonable care.

 

SECTION 9.06. Indemnification.
Each Facility Agent severally agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower, the Servicer,
an Originator or the Performance Guarantor), ratably according to its related Lender Group Percentage, 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 action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement; provided,
that no Facility Agent shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments,
suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting or arising from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful
misconduct to the extent such gross negligence or willful misconduct is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final
and non-appealable decision. Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, each Facility Agent agrees to reimburse the
Administrative Agent, ratably according to its related Lender Group Percentage, promptly upon demand, for any reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the administration, modification,
amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights
or responsibilities under, this Agreement; provided, that no Facility Agent shall be responsible for the costs and expenses
of the Administrative Agent in defending itself against any claim alleging the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative
Agent to the extent such gross negligence or willful misconduct is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and
non-appealable decision.

 

    	 	102	 

     

    

 

SECTION 9.07. Successor
Agents. The Administrative Agent and each Facility Agent may, upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Borrower, each Lender,
each LC Issuer and each other party hereto, resign as Administrative Agent or Facility Agent, as applicable. If any such party
shall resign as Administrative Agent or Facility Agent under this Agreement, then, in the case of the Administrative Agent, the
Majority Facility Agents, and in the case of any Facility Agent, its related Conduit Lenders, during such thirty-day period shall
appoint a successor agent, whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative
Agent or applicable Facility Agent and references herein to the Administrative Agent or such Facility Agent shall mean such successor
agent, effective upon its appointment; and such former Administrative Agent’s or Facility Agent’s rights, powers and
duties in such capacity shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative
Agent or Facility Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s or Facility Agent’s
resignation hereunder as such agent, the provisions of Article VIII, this Article IX and Section 10.09
shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent or a Facility
Agent under this Agreement.

waiver of any provision of this Agreement nor consent to any departure by the Borrower or the Servicer therefrom shall in any event

or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

 

    	 	103	 

     

    

 

(b)            No
amendment to this Agreement shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by each of the Borrower, the Servicer,
the Administrative Agent and the Majority Facility Agents, provided, however, that, without the written consent of
each affected Lender and each affected LC Issuer, no such amendment shall (i) extend the Termination Date, (ii) extend
the date of any payment or deposit of Collections by the Borrower or by the Servicer or the time of payment of Interest, (iii) release

(xii) modify any defined term (or any defined term used directly or indirectly in such defined term) used in clauses (i) through

(c)            Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, no Facility Agent that has a Committed Lender in its Lender
Group that is currently a Defaulting Committed Lender and no Committed Lender that is currently a Defaulting Committed Lender,
shall be entitled to vote in respect of waivers, amendments or modifications to any Facility Document and the Commitment and the
outstanding Loans or other extensions of credit of such Defaulting Committed Lender hereunder shall not be taken into account in
determining whether the Majority Facility Agents or all of the Lenders or any other class of Lenders, as required by this Section 10.01
or otherwise, have approved any such waiver, amendment or modification (and the definition of “Majority Facility Agents”
will automatically be deemed modified accordingly for the duration of such period); provided that any such waiver, amendment
or modification that would increase or extend the term of the Commitment of such Defaulting Committed Lender, extend the date fixed
for the payment of principal or interest owing to such Defaulting Committed Lender hereunder, reduce the principal amount of any
obligation owing to such Defaulting Committed Lender, reduce the amount of or the rate or amount of interest on any amount owing
to such Defaulting Committed Lender or of any fee payable to such Defaulting Committed Lender hereunder, or alter the terms of
this proviso, shall require the prior written consent of such Defaulting Committed Lender.

being deposited with such courier, or, in the case of notice by facsimile or other electronic transmission, when electronic confirmation
of receipt is obtained, in each case addressed as aforesaid.

 

    	 	104	 

     

    

 

SECTION 10.03. Assignments;
Participations.

 

(a)            Participations.
Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, any Lender may sell to one or more Persons (each a “Participant”)
participating interests in the Loans of such Lender hereunder. Such Lender shall remain solely responsible for performing its obligations
hereunder, and the Borrower, the Servicer, each Facility Agent and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly
with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder. A Lender shall not agree with a Participant
to restrict such Lender’s right to agree to any amendment hereto, except amendments that require the consent of all Lenders.
Any such Participant shall not have any rights hereunder or under the Facility Documents. The Borrower agrees that each Participant
shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12 and 2.13 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein
and subject to such Participant’s compliance with the requirements of Section 2.14) to the same extent as if
it were a Lender and acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant
shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.12 or 2.13, with respect to any participation,
than its participating Lender 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.

 

Each Lender (or its
Facility Agent on its behalf) that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain
a register on which it enters the name and address of its Participants and the amounts of each such Participant’s interest
in any Loans, Commitments or other rights or obligations hereunder (the “Participant Register”); provided that
no Lender or Facility Agent 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 such Loans, Commitments or other rights
or obligations hereunder) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Loans, Commitments
or other rights or obligations hereunder are in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury
Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender 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.

 

(b)            Assignments
by Committed Lenders. Any Committed Lender may assign to one or more Persons (each a “Purchasing Committed Lender”),
reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, each LC Issuer and the related Facility Agent in their sole discretion, any
portion of its Commitment pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance with any changes as have been approved by the parties thereto,
executed by each such Purchasing Committed Lender, such selling Committed Lender, such related Facility Agent and the Administrative
Agent and with the consent of the Borrower (provided, that the consent of the Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld
or delayed and that no such consent shall be required if an Event of Termination has occurred and is continuing; provided,
further, that no consent of the Borrower shall be required if the assignment is made by any Committed Lender to the Administrative
Agent, to any other Committed Lender, to any Affiliate of the Administrative Agent or any Committed Lender or to any Program Support
Provider). Any such assignment by a Committed Lender cannot be for an amount less than $10,000,000. Upon (i) the execution
of the Assignment and Acceptance with any changes as have been approved by the parties thereto, (ii) delivery of an executed
copy thereof to the Borrower, the Servicer, such related Facility Agent and the Administrative Agent and (iii) payment by
the Purchasing Committed Lender to the selling Committed Lender of the agreed purchase price, if any, such selling Committed Lender
shall be released from its obligations hereunder to the extent of such assignment and such Purchasing Committed Lender shall for
all purposes be a Committed Lender party hereto and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Committed Lender hereunder to
the same extent as if it were an original party hereto. The amount of the Commitment of the selling Committed Lender allocable
to such Purchasing Committed Lender shall be equal to the amount of the Commitment of the selling Committed Lender transferred
regardless of the purchase price, if any, paid therefor. The Assignment and Acceptance shall be an amendment hereof only to the
extent necessary to reflect the addition of such Purchasing Committed Lender as a “Committed Lender” and any resulting
adjustment of the selling Committed Lender’s Commitment.

 

    	 	105	 

     

    

 

(c)            Assignments
to Liquidity Providers and other Program Support Providers. Any Conduit Lender may at any time grant to one or more of its
Liquidity Providers or other Program Support Providers, participating interests in its Loans. In the event of any such grant by
such Conduit Lender of a participating interest to a Liquidity Provider or other Program Support Provider, such Conduit Lender
shall remain responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder. The Borrower agrees that each Liquidity Provider and
Program Support Provider of any Conduit Lender hereunder shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12 and 2.13
(subject to the requirements and limitations therein and subject to such Participant’s compliance with the requirements
of Section 2.14) and Article VIII.

 

(d)            Other
Assignments by Conduit Lenders. Each party hereto agrees and consents (i) to any Conduit Lender’s assignment, participation,
grant of security interests in or other transfers of any portion of, or any of its beneficial interest in, its Loans (or, in each
case, any portion thereof), including without limitation to any collateral agent in connection with its commercial paper program
and (ii) to the complete assignment by any Conduit Lender of all of its rights and obligations hereunder to any other Person,
including any Affiliate of its Facility Agent, any Lender in its Lender Group or the Administrative Agent, and upon such assignment
such Conduit Lender shall be released from all obligations and duties, if any, hereunder; provided, that such Conduit Lender
may not, without the prior consent of its Committed Lenders and the Administrative Agent, make any such transfer of its rights
hereunder unless the assignee (x) is a commercial paper conduit that (i) is principally engaged in the purchase of assets
similar to the assets being purchased hereunder, (ii) has as its Facility Agent the Facility Agent or an Affiliate thereof
of the assigning Conduit Lender, (iii) issues commercial paper or other notes with credit ratings substantially comparable
to the ratings of the assigning Conduit Lender and (iv) has been consented to by the Borrower (provided, that (1) the
consent of the Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, (2) no such consent shall be required if an Event of
Termination has occurred and is continuing and (3) no such consent shall be required if such assignee (x) is another
commercial paper conduit administered by the same Program Administrator or an Affiliate thereof) or (y) is a Committed Lender,
Liquidity Provider or Program Support Provider for such Conduit Lender. Any assigning Conduit Lender shall deliver to any assignee
an Assignment and Acceptance with any changes as have been approved by the parties thereto, duly executed by such Conduit Lender,
assigning any portion of its Loans to its assignee. Such Conduit Lender shall promptly (i) notify each of the other parties
hereto of such assignment and (ii) take all further action that the assignee reasonably requests in order to evidence the
assignee’s right, title and interest in such interest in the its Loans, and to enable the assignee to exercise or enforce
any rights of such Conduit Lender hereunder. Upon the assignment of any portion of its interest in its Loans, the assignee shall
have all of the rights hereunder with respect to such interest (except that the Interest therefor shall thereafter accrue at the
CP Rate determined with respect to the assigning Conduit Lender unless the Borrower, the related Facility Agent and the assignee
shall have agreed upon a different Interest Rate).

 

    	 	106	 

     

    

 

(e)            Register.
The Administrative Agent, acting as non-fiduciary agent for the Borrower (such agency being solely for Tax purposes) and each Affected
Person and its successors and assigns, to the extent such Person has Loans or Interest owing thereto), shall maintain at an office
of the Administrative Agent, a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it hereunder and a register
for the names and addresses of the Lenders, the Commitment of each Lender Group and the aggregate outstanding Loans and Interest
and other amounts owing to each Lender or other Affected Person from time to time (and such other Affected Person) (the “Register”).
The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Servicer, the Lenders, and such other
Affected Persons shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder
for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, any Facility Agent and any
Lender (and any such other Affected Person) at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Each Lender
(and each such other Affected Person) that assigns or transfers all or part of its Loans, shall be required to provide the Administrative
Agent with notice of such assignment in order for such assignee’s interests in the Loans to be reflected in the Register.
Each assignor may, in connection with any permitted assignment, disclose to the applicable assignee (that shall have agreed to
be bound by Section 10.12) any information relating to any Originator, the Servicer, the Borrower, the Performance
Guarantor or the Pool Receivables furnished to such assignor by or on behalf of such Originator, the Servicer, the Borrower, the
Performance Guarantor, any Lender or the Administrative Agent.

 

(f)            Successors
and Assigns. Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to mean the
successors and assigns of such party; all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of any parties hereto that are contained
in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, neither of the Borrower or the Servicer may assign its rights or delegate its obligations hereunder or under any
other Facility Document or any interest herein or under any other Facility Document, in each case, without the prior written consent
of the Administrative Agent and each Facility Agent.

 

(g)            Enforcement
By Agents. Without limiting any other rights that may be available under applicable Law, the rights of the Administrative Agent,
each Facility Agent and each Lender may be enforced through it or by its agents.

 

    	 	107	 

     

    

 

(h)            Certain
Pledges. Without limiting the right of any Lender to sell or grant interests, security interests or participations to any Person
as otherwise described in this Section 10.03, any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all
or any portion of its rights under this Agreement, any portion of its interest in its Loans to secure its obligations as a Lender

REGISTERED PURSUANT TO SECTION 12 OF THE

SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934

 

As of June 28, 2020, Bowl America Incorporated (“we” or “our”) had one class of securities, our Class A common stock, par value $0.10 per share (“Class A Common Stock”), registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The following description of our Class A Common Stock is a summary and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, the provisions of our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and our By-Laws, copies of which are incorporated by reference as Exhibits 3.1 and 3.2, respectively, to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 28, 2020 of which this Exhibit 4.1 is a part.

 

Our authorized capital stock consists of 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.10 par value per share, of which a portion is Class A Common Stock and a portion is Class B common stock and 2,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $10,00 par value per share. As of June 28, 2020, 3,746,454 shares of Class A Common Stock were outstanding, 1,414,517 shares of Class B common stock were outstanding and no shares of preferred stock were issued and outstanding.

 

Our Class A Common Stock is traded on the NYSE American under the symbol “BWL-A.” Our Class B common stock is not listed on any exchange and is not publicly traded. Each share of Class B common stock can be converted into one share of Class A Common Stock at any time.

 

Each share of the Class A Common Stock is entitled to one (1) vote and each share of the Class B common stock is entitled to ten (10) votes, and except with respect to the election of directors (where the Class A Common Stock elects 25% of directors as a separate class and the Class B common stock elects 75% of directors as a separate class), the Class A Common Stock and the Class B common Stock is voted together without regard to class and do not have cumulative voting rights. Holders of Class A and B Common Stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends, if any, as may be declared by the board of directors out of funds legally available therefore, subject to a preferential dividend right of outstanding preferred stock. Upon the liquidation, dissolution or our winding up, the holders of Class A and B Common Stock are entitled to receive ratably our net assets available after the payment of all debts and other liabilities and subject to the prior rights of any outstanding preferred stock. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of our Class A and B Common Stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by the rights of the holders any series of preferred stock that we may designate and issue in the future.
