Notwithstanding the requirement set forth in this paragraph (a) or otherwise herein that all Funded Purchases hereunder by Conduit Purchasers and Committed Purchasers be made ratably, based on the Ratable Share of their respective Purchaser Groups or based on their respective Commitments, (x) at any time when any Purchaser Group’s Actual Share of the Exposure would be less than its Ratable Share of the Exposure after giving effect to such Funded Purchase, such Funded Purchase (or portion thereof) shall be made on a non ratable basis by the Purchasers in such Purchaser Group with the largest Deficient Share immediately prior to such Funded Purchase in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the amount by which, after giving effect thereto, such Purchaser Group would no longer have the largest Deficient Share (or, if after giving effect to the entire amount of any requested Funded Purchase by such Purchaser Group, such Purchaser Group would continue to have the largest Deficient Share, the entire amount of such requested Funded Purchase) and (ii) the amount by which, after 
    2
740811803 17540157

giving effect thereto, such Purchaser Group’s Actual Share of the Exposure would equal its Ratable Share of the Exposure and (y) at any time after giving effect to the preceding clause (x), each Purchaser Group’s Actual Share of its Exposure equals its Ratable Share of its Exposure, such Funded Purchase (or portion thereof) by (A) the Conduit Purchasers shall be made ratably (based on the Ratable Share of their respective Purchaser Groups) and (B) the Related Committed Purchasers shall be made ratably (based on their respective Commitments); provided, however, that if a Conduit Purchaser Rate Event has occurred and is continuing with respect to a Conduit Purchaser in any Purchaser Group and the Seller shall have elected pursuant to Section 1.22, (i) such Purchaser Group shall be excluded from any requirement to make any Funded Purchase under this Section 1.1(a) and any such Funded Purchase shall be made by Purchasers other than any Purchasers in an Excluded Purchaser Group and (ii) each calculation of “Ratable Share”, “Actual Share”, “Exposure” and “Deficient Share”, solely for purposes of this Section 1.1(a), shall be determined without giving effect to any Excluded Purchaser Group, in each case, for so long as may be designated by the Seller pursuant to Section 1.22.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this paragraph (a), under no circumstances shall any Purchaser make any purchase or reinvestment (including, without limitation, any Purchases deemed to have been requested by Seller pursuant to Section 1.1(b)) or issue any Letters of Credit hereunder, as applicable, if, after giving effect to such Purchase, the (i) aggregate outstanding amount of the Capital of such Purchaser, when added to all other Capital of all other Purchasers in such Purchaser’s Purchaser Group would exceed (A) its Purchaser Group’s Group Commitment, minus (B) the LC Participation Amount with respect to the related LC Bank, (ii) Exposure would exceed the Purchase Limit, (iii) Aggregate LC Participation Amount would exceed the lesser of (A) the aggregate of the Commitments of the LC Banks and (B) the LC Sublimit and (iv) LC Participation Amount with respect to any LC Bank would exceed such LC Bank’s Commitment.
The Seller may use the proceeds of any purchase by the Purchasers hereunder to satisfy its Reimbursement Obligation to the LC Banks (ratably, based on the outstanding amounts funded by each LC Bank) pursuant to Section 1.14(b) below.
(b)    In the event the Seller fails to reimburse an LC Bank for the full amount of any drawing under its Letter of Credit on the applicable Drawing Date (out of its own funds available therefor) pursuant to Section 1.14(b), then the Seller shall, automatically (and without the requirement of any further action on the part of any Person hereunder), be deemed to have requested a new purchase from the Conduit Purchasers (and if any Conduit Purchaser is unable or unwilling to fund, the applicable Related Committed Purchaser), on such date, on the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, in an amount equal to the amount of such Reimbursement Obligation at such time. Subject to the limitations on funding set forth in paragraph (a) above (and the other requirements and conditions herein), the Conduit Purchasers or Related Committed Purchasers, as applicable, shall fund such deemed purchase request and deliver the proceeds thereof directly to the Administrator to be immediately distributed (ratably) to such LC Bank in satisfaction of the Seller’s Reimbursement Obligation pursuant to Section 1.14(b), below, to the extent of the amounts permitted to be funded by the Conduit Purchasers or Related Committed Purchasers, as applicable, at such time, hereunder.
(c)    The Seller may, upon at least 15 days’ written notice to the Administrator, terminate the Purchase Facility in whole or, upon at least 15 days’ written notice to the 
    3
740811803 17540157

Administrator, from time to time, irrevocably reduce in part the unused portion of the Purchase Limit (but not below the amount that would cause the Aggregate Capital plus the Adjusted LC Participation Amount to exceed the Purchase Limit or would cause the Group Capital of any Purchaser Group to exceed its Group Commitment, in each case after giving effect to such reduction); provided, that each partial reduction shall be in the amount of at least $5,000,000, or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, and that, unless terminated in whole, the Purchase Limit shall in no event be reduced below $100,000,000; provided, further, that in connection with any such partial reduction in the Purchase Limit, the LC Sublimit shall be reduced in an amount equal to the product of (i) the amount of such reduction in the Purchase Limit, times (ii) a fraction equal to (a) the LC Sublimit (prior to giving effect to such reduction), divided by (b) the Purchase Limit (prior to giving effect to such reduction).  Each reduction in the Commitments hereunder shall be made ratably among the Purchasers (other than Conduit Purchasers) in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages and their respective Commitments.  The Administrator shall promptly advise the Purchaser Agents of any notice received by it pursuant to this Section 1.1(c).  In addition to and without limiting any other requirements for termination, prepayment and/or the funding of the LC Collateral Account hereunder, no such termination or reduction shall be effective unless and until (i) in the case of a termination, the amount on deposit in the LC Collateral Account is at least equal to the then outstanding Aggregate LC Participation Amount and (ii) in the case of a partial reduction, the amount on deposit in the LC Collateral Account is at least equal to the positive difference between the then outstanding Aggregate LC Participation Amount and the LC Sublimit as so reduced by such partial reduction.
If, on any day prior to the Facility Termination Date:
    (x) there are amounts on deposit in the LC Collateral Account, and 
    (y) the sum of (i) the amounts on deposit in the LC Collateral Account and (ii) the Unfunded LC Bank Commitment exceed the Aggregate LC Participation Amount, 
the Administrator shall, so long as no Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, promptly transfer to the Seller from the LC Collateral Account an amount equal to the lesser of (A) such excess and (B) the balance of the amounts on deposit in the LC Collateral Account.
If, on any day on and after the Facility Termination Date:
    (x) there are amounts on deposit in the LC Collateral Account, and
    (y) the amounts on deposit in the LC Collateral Account exceed 105% of the Aggregate LC Participation Amount, the Administrator shall release such excess from the LC Collateral Account and such amounts released shall be deemed to be Collections of Pool Receivables and applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.4(d)(ii) of this Agreement.
(d)    The Seller may, upon at least 15 days’ written notice to the Administrator, terminate the Purchase Facility in whole or, upon at least 15 days’ written notice to the Administrator, from time to time, irrevocably reduce in part the unused portion of the Purchase 
    4
740811803 17540157

Limit (but not below the amount that would cause the Aggregate Capital plus the Adjusted LC Participation Amount to exceed the Purchase Limit or would cause the Group Capital of any Purchaser Group to exceed its Group Commitment, in each case after giving effect to such reduction); provided, that each partial reduction shall be in the amount of at least $5,000,000, or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, and that, unless terminated in whole, the Purchase Limit shall in no event be reduced below $100,000,000; provided, further, that in connection with any such partial reduction in the Purchase Limit, the LC Sublimit shall be reduced in an amount equal to the product of (i) the amount of such reduction in the Purchase Limit, times (ii) a fraction equal to (a) the LC Sublimit (prior to giving effect to such reduction), divided by (b) the Purchase Limit (prior to giving effect to such reduction).  Each reduction in the Commitments hereunder shall be made ratably among the Purchasers (other than Conduit Purchasers) in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages and their respective Commitments.  The Administrator shall promptly advise the Purchaser Agents of any notice received by it pursuant to this Section 1.1(c).  In addition to and without limiting any other requirements for termination, prepayment and/or the funding of the LC Collateral Account hereunder, no such termination or reduction shall be effective unless and until (i) in the case of a termination, the amount on deposit in the LC Collateral Account is at least equal to the then outstanding Aggregate LC Participation Amount and (ii) in the case of a partial reduction, the amount on deposit in the LC Collateral Account is at least equal to the positive difference between the then outstanding Aggregate LC Participation Amount and the LC Sublimit as so reduced by such partial reduction.[Reserved].
(e)    Each of the parties hereto hereby acknowledges and agrees that from and after September 16, 2013, the Purchaser Group that includes PNC, as a Purchaser Agent and as a Purchaser, shall not include a Conduit Purchaser, and each request by the Seller for ratable Purchases by the Conduit Purchasers pursuant to Section 1.1(a)(i)(x) shall be deemed to be a request that the Related Committed Purchasers in PNC’s Purchaser Group make their ratable share of such Purchases.
Section 1.2    Making Purchases.
(a)    Seller may request a purchase (but not reinvestment) of undivided percentage ownership interests with regard to the Purchased Interest hereunder to be made in cash on any day upon the Seller’s irrevocable written notice in the form of Annex B (each, a “Purchase Notice”) delivered to the Administrator and each Purchaser Agent in accordance with Section 5.2 (which notice must be received by the Administrator and each Purchaser Agent before noon, New York time) at least one Business Day before the requested Purchase Date, which notice shall specify, (A) the amount requested to be paid to the Seller (such amount, which shall not be less than $2,500,000 (or such lesser amount as agreed to by the Administrator and eachthe Majority Purchaser AgentAgents) and shall be in integral multiples of $250,000 in excess thereof, being the Capital relating to the undivided percentage ownership interest then being purchased with respect to each Purchaser Group), (B) the date of such purchase (which shall be a Business Day), and (C) the pro forma calculation of the Purchased Interest after giving effect to the increase in the Aggregate Capital resulting from such purchase.
(b)    On the date of each purchase requested by Seller pursuant to Section 1.2(a), each applicable Conduit Purchaser or Related Committed Purchaser, as the case may be, shall, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Exhibit II, make available to the Administrator by wire transfer to the Administration Account, no later than noon (New York 
    5
740811803 17540157

time),  an amount in immediately available funds equal to the portion of Capital relating to the undivided percentage ownership interest then being purchased by such Purchaser.  Upon receipt of such amounts by the Administrator in the Administration Account, the Administrator shall no later than 3:00 p.m. (New York time) make available to the Seller in same day funds on the date of such purchase by deposit to the Purchase Account (or such other account as may be designated in writing by the Seller to the Administrator), such amounts received by the Administrator in the Administration Account.
(c)    Effective on the date of each Purchase pursuant to this Agreement, the Seller hereby sells and assigns to the Administrator for the benefit of the Purchasers (ratably, based on the Exposure outstanding at such time for each such Purchaser’s Capital) an undivided percentage ownership interest, subject to the terms hereof (including, without limitation, the settlement provisions of Section 1.4), in:  (i) each Pool Receivable then existing, (ii) all Related Security with respect to such Pool Receivables, and (iii) all Collections with respect to, and other proceeds of, such Pool Receivables and Related Security.
(d)    To secure all of the Seller’s obligations (monetary or otherwise) under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, whether now or hereafter existing or arising, due or to become due, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, the Seller hereby grants to the Administrator (for the benefit of the Purchasers, the Purchaser Agents and their respective assigns) a security interest in all of the Seller’s right, title and interest (including any undivided interest of the Seller) in, to and under all of the following, whether now or hereafter owned, existing or arising:  (i) all Pool Receivables, (ii) all Related Security with respect to such Pool Receivables, (iii) all Collections with respect to such Pool Receivables, (iv) the LC Collateral Account, the Lock-Box Accounts and all amounts on deposit therein, and all certificates and instruments, if any, from time to time evidencing such Accounts and amounts on deposit therein, (v) all rights (but none of the obligations) of the Seller under the Purchase and Sale Agreement, (vi) all proceeds of, and all amounts received or receivable under any or all of, the foregoing and (vii) all of its other property (collectively, the “Pool Assets”).  The Seller hereby authorizes the Administrator to file financing statements describing the collateral covered thereby as “all of the debtor’s personal property or assets” or words to that effect, notwithstanding that such wording may be broader in scope than the collateral described in this Agreement.  The Administrator (on behalf of the Purchasers and their assigns) shall have, with respect to the Pool Assets, and in addition to all the other rights and remedies available to the Administrator and the Purchasers, all the rights and remedies of a secured party under any applicable UCC.
(e)    Provided that no Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing, the Seller may request the extension of the Scheduled Commitment Termination Date by providing written notice to the Administrator and each Purchaser Agent; provided such request is made not more than 90 days prior to, and not less than 60 days prior to, the then current Scheduled Commitment Termination Date.  In the event that the Purchasers are all agreeable to such extension, the Administrator shall so notify the Seller and the Servicer in writing (it being understood that any Purchaser may accept or decline such a request in its sole and absolute discretion and on such terms as they may elect) not less than 30 days prior to the then current Scheduled Commitment Termination Date, and the Seller, the Servicer, the Administrator, the Purchaser Agents and the Purchasers shall enter into such documents as the Administrator, the Purchaser Agents and the Purchasers may deem necessary or appropriate to 
    6
740811803 17540157

reflect such extension, and all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Purchasers, the Purchaser Agents and the Administrator in connection therewith (including reasonable Attorney Costs) shall be paid by the Seller.  In the event any Purchaser declines the request for such extension, such Purchaser (or its Purchaser Agent) shall so notify the Administrator and the Administrator shall so notify the Seller of such determination; provided, that the failure of the Administrator to notify the Seller of the determination to decline such extension shall not affect the understanding and agreement that the applicable Purchasers shall be deemed to have refused to grant the requested extension in the event the Administrator fails to affirmatively notify the Seller, in writing, of their agreement to accept the requested extension.  If the Facility Termination Date is extended with respect to one or more, but less than all Purchasers, then the Purchase Limit shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Commitment(s) of the Exiting Purchaser(s) and the Commitment Percentages and Commitments shall be appropriately adjusted.
(f)    The Seller may, with the written consent of the Administrator and each Purchaser Agent, which consent may be granted or withheld in their sole discretion, add additional Persons as Purchasers (either to an existing Purchaser Group or by creating new Purchaser Groups) or cause an existing Related Committed Purchaser or related LC Bank to increase its Commitment in connection with a corresponding increase in the Purchase Limit; provided, that the Commitment of any Related Committed Purchaser or related LC Bank may only be increased with the prior written consent of such Purchaser.  Each new Conduit Purchaser or Related Committed Purchaser (or Purchaser Group) shall become a party hereto, by executing and delivering to the Administrator, each Purchaser Agent and the Seller, an Assumption Agreement in the form of Annex F hereto (which Assumption Agreement shall, in the case of any new Conduit Purchaser or Related Committed Purchaser, be executed by each Person in such new Purchaser’s Purchaser Group).
(g)    Each Related Committed Purchaser’s obligations hereunder shall be several, such that the failure of any Related Committed Purchaser to make a payment in connection with any purchase hereunder, shall not relieve any other Related Committed Purchaser of its obligation hereunder to make payment for any Funded Purchase. Further, in the event any Related Committed Purchaser fails to satisfy its obligation to make a purchase as required hereunder, upon receipt of notice of such failure from the Administrator (or any relevant Purchaser Agent), subject to the limitations set forth herein, the non-defaulting Related Committed Purchasers in such defaulting Related Committed Purchaser’s Purchaser Group shall fund the defaulting Related Committed Purchaser’s Commitment Percentage of the related Purchase pro rata in proportion to their relative Commitment Percentages (determined without regard to the Commitment Percentage of the defaulting Related Committed Purchaser; it being understood that a defaulting Related Committed Purchaser’s Commitment Percentage of any Purchase shall be first funded by the Related Committed Purchasers in such defaulting Related Committed Purchaser’s Purchaser Group and thereafter if there are no other Related Committed Purchasers in such Purchaser Group or if such other Related Committed Purchasers are also defaulting Related Committed Purchasers, then such defaulting Related Committed Purchaser’s Commitment Percentage of such Purchase shall be funded by each other Purchaser Group ratably and applied in accordance with this paragraph (g)). Notwithstanding anything in this paragraph (g) to the contrary, no Related Committed Purchaser shall be required to make a Purchase 
    7
740811803 17540157

pursuant to this paragraph for an amount which would cause the aggregate Capital of such Related Committed Purchaser (after giving effect to such Purchase) to exceed its Commitment.
Section 1.3    Purchased Interest Computation.  The Purchased Interest shall be initially computed on the Original Closing Date.  Thereafter, until the Facility Termination Date, the Purchased Interest shall be automatically recomputed (or deemed to be recomputed) on each Business Day (after giving effect to any Purchase, if any, on such Business Day);  it being understood that, for purposes of such calculation, the Net Receivables Pool Balance (and all components thereof) shall be determined on each Business Day based on the information set forth in the Information Package most recently delivered (other than after a Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and a notice thereof has been delivered by the Administrator to the Seller and the Servicer to compute such Net Receivables Pool Balance (and all components thereof) on each such Business Day) pursuant to this Agreement and Net Receivables Pool Balance (and the components thereof) shall not be required to be recalculated as of each Business Day; provided, however, that the Net Receivables Pool Balance (and all components thereof) shall be determined on each Business Day that the Seller or the Servicer has actual knowledge that the Net Receivables Pool Balance (or any component thereof) on such Business Day is materially less than the Net Receivables Pool Balance (and all components thereof) set forth in the Information Package most recently delivered pursuant to this Agreement.  Subject to the following sentence, from and after the occurrence of any Termination Day, the Purchased Interest shall (until the event(s) giving rise to such Termination Day are satisfied or are waived by the Administrator in accordance with Section 2.2) be deemed to be 100%.  The Purchased Interest shall become zero when (a) the Aggregate Capital thereof and Aggregate Discount thereon shall have been paid in full, (b) an amount equal to 100% of the Aggregate LC Participation Amount shall have been deposited in the LC Collateral Account, or all Letters of Credit shall have expired and (c) all the amounts owed (other than contingent, unasserted indemnification claims) by the Seller and the Servicer hereunder to each Purchaser, the Administrator and any other Indemnified Party or Affected Person are paid in full, and the Servicer shall have received the accrued Servicing Fee thereon.
Section 1.4    Settlement Procedures.
(a)    The collection of the Pool Receivables shall be administered by the Servicer in accordance with this Agreement.  The Seller shall provide to the Servicer on a timely basis all information needed for such administration, including notice of the occurrence of any Termination Day and current computations of the Purchased Interest.
(b)    The Servicer shall, on each day on which Collections of Pool Receivables are received (or deemed received) by the Seller or the Servicer:
(i)    set aside and hold in trust (and shall, at the request of the Administrator, segregate in a separate account approved by the Administrator) for the benefit of the Purchasers, out of such Collections, first, an amount equal to the Aggregate Discount accrued through such day for each Portion of Capital and not previously set aside, second, an amount equal to the fees set forth in each Fee Letter accrued and unpaid through such day, and third, to the extent funds are available therefor, an amount equal to the aggregate of the Purchasers’ Share of the Servicing Fee accrued through such day and not previously set aside,
(ii)    subject to Section 1.4(f), if such day is not a Termination Day, remit to the Seller (or the Originators on behalf of the Seller to satisfy obligations of the Seller under the Purchase and Sale Agreement), ratably, on behalf of the Purchasers, the remainder of 
    8
740811803 17540157

such Collections.  Such remainder shall, to the extent representing a return on the Aggregate Capital, be automatically reinvested, ratably, according to each Purchaser’s Capital, in Pool Receivables and in the Related Security, Collections and other proceeds with respect thereto; provided, that if, after giving effect to any proposed reinvestment, the Purchased Interest would exceed 100%, then the Servicer shall not remit such remainder to the Seller or reinvest, but shall set aside and hold in trust for the Administrator (for the benefit of the Purchasers) (and shall, at the request of the Administrator, segregate in a separate account approved by the Administrator) a portion of such Collections that, together with the other Collections set aside pursuant to this paragraph, shall equal the amount necessary to reduce the Purchased Interest to 100% (determined as if such Collections set aside had been applied to reduce the Aggregate Capital at such time), which amount shall be deposited to the Administration Account (for the benefit of the Purchasers) (to be ratably, according to the aggregate of the Capital of all Purchasers in each Purchaser Group, distributed to each Purchaser Agent (for the benefit of its related Purchasers)) on the next Settlement Date in accordance with Section 1.4(c); provided, further, that in the case of any Purchaser that has provided notice (an “Exiting Notice”, which, for the avoidance of doubt shall not have any effect until the then Scheduled Commitment Termination Date) to its Purchaser Agent and the Administrator of its refusal, following any request by the Seller to extend the then Scheduled Commitment Termination Date, to extend its Commitment hereunder (an “Exiting Purchaser”), then such Purchaser’s ratable share (determined according to outstanding Capital) of Collections shall not be reinvested or remitted to the Seller and shall instead be held in trust for the benefit of such Purchaser and applied in accordance with clause (iii) below,
(iii)    if such day is a Termination Day (or any day following the provision of an Exiting Notice), set aside, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Purchasers or Exiting Purchasers, as applicable, (and shall, at the request of the Administrator, segregate in a separate account approved by the Administrator), the entire remainder of such  Collections (or in the case of an Exiting Purchaser, an amount equal to such Purchaser’s ratable share of such Collections based on its Capital; provided, that solely for purposes of determining such Purchaser’s ratable share of such Collections, such Purchaser’s Capital shall be deemed to remain constant from the date of the provision of an Exiting Notice, as the case may be, until the date such Purchaser’s Capital has been paid in full; it being understood that if such day is also a Termination Day, such Exiting Purchaser’s Capital shall be recalculated taking into account amounts received by such Purchasers in respect of this parenthetical and thereafter Collections shall be set aside for such Purchaser ratably in respect of its Capital (as recalculated)), and
(iv)    release to the Seller (subject to Section 1.4(f)) for its own account any Collections in excess of:  (w) amounts required to be reinvested in accordance with clause (ii) or the proviso to clause (iii), plus (x) the amounts that are required to be set aside pursuant to clause (i), the provisos to clause (ii) and clause (iii), plus (y) the Seller’s Share of the Servicing Fee accrued and unpaid through such day and all reasonable and appropriate out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Servicer for servicing, collecting and administering the Pool Receivables, plus (z) all other amounts then due and payable by the Seller under this Agreement to the Purchasers, the Purchaser Agents, the Administrator, and any other Indemnified Party or Affected Person.
(c)    The Servicer shall, in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 1.4(d), deposit into the Administration Account, no later than noon (New York time) on each Settlement 
    9
740811803 17540157

Date, Collections held for the Purchasers pursuant to clause (b)(i) or (f) plus the amount of Collections then held for the Purchasers pursuant to clauses (b)(ii) and (iii) of Section 1.4; provided, that if Owens Corning Sales or an Affiliate thereof is the Servicer, such day is not a Termination Day and the Administrator has not notified Owens Corning Sales (or such Affiliate) that such right is revoked, Owens Corning Sales (or such Affiliate) may retain the portion of the Collections set aside pursuant to clause (b)(i) that represents the Servicing Fee.  On or prior to the Business Day immediately preceding each Settlement Date, each Purchaser Agent will notify the Administrator no later than noon (New York time) telephonically, by electronic mail or by facsimile of the amount of Discount accrued with respect to each Portion of Capital during the related Settlement Period or portion thereof and thereafter no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on such day the Administrator will notify the Servicer telephonically, by electronic mail or by facsimile of such amounts.
(d)    The Administrator shall distribute the amounts described in clause (c) above promptly following receipt of such funds deposited into the Administration Account (but no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York time)) as follows:
(i)    if such distribution occurs on a day that is not a Termination Day and the Purchased Interest does not exceed 100%, first to each Purchaser Agent ratably according to the Discount and Fees accrued during such Settlement Period (for the benefit of the relevant Purchasers within such Purchaser Agent’s Purchaser Group) in payment in full of all such accrued Discount with respect to each Portion of Capital maintained by such Purchasers and all such accrued Fees; it being understood that each Purchaser Agent shall distribute such amounts to the Purchasers within such Purchaser Agent’s Purchaser Group ratably according to Discount and Fees, respectively (or, with respect to any Tranched Capital Purchaser in such Purchaser Agent’s Purchaser Group, in accordance with Exhibit VI), and second, if the Servicer has set aside amounts in respect of the Servicing Fee pursuant to clause (b)(i) and has not retained such amounts pursuant to clause (c), to the Servicer (payable in arrears on each Settlement Date) in payment in full of the aggregate of the Purchasers’ Share of accrued Servicing Fees so set aside, and
(ii)    if such distribution occurs on a Termination Day or on a day when the Purchased Interest exceeds 100%, first, to the Servicer in payment in full of the Purchasers’ Share of all accrued Servicing Fees, second, to each Purchaser Agent ratably (based on the aggregate accrued and unpaid Discount and Fees payable to all Purchasers at such time) (for the benefit of the relevant Purchasers in such Purchaser Agent’s Purchaser Group) in payment in full of all accrued Discount with respect to each Portion of Capital funded or maintained by the Purchasers within such Purchaser Agent’s Purchaser Group and all accrued Fees, third, to each Purchaser Agent ratably according to the Actual Share of the Exposure of such Purchaser Agent’s Purchaser Group (for the benefit of the relevant Purchasers in such Purchaser Agent’s Purchaser Group) in an amount, for each Purchaser Group, equal to such Purchaser Group’s Actual Share of the Exposure (or, if such day is not a Termination Day, such Purchaser Group’s Actual Share of the amount necessary to reduce the Purchased Interest to 100%) (determined as if such Collections had been applied to reduce the Aggregate Capital); provided, that each Purchaser Agent shall apply any amount distributed to it pursuant to this third clause in the following order of priority: (x) first, in payment of the aggregate Capital of each Purchaser in such Purchaser Agent’s Purchaser Group and (y) second, to the LC Collateral Account for the benefit of any LC Bank in such Purchaser Agent’s Purchaser Group, to cash collateralize such 
    10
740811803 17540157

LC Bank’s LC Participation Amount until the amount of cash collateral held in such LC Collateral Account equals 100% of the Aggregate LC Participation Amount;  it being understood that each Purchaser Agent shall distribute the amounts described in the first, second and third clauses of this Section 1.4(d)(ii) to the Purchasers within such Purchaser Agent’s Purchaser Group ratably according to Discount, Fees and Capital, respectively (or, with respect to any Tranched Capital Purchaser in such Purchaser Agent’s Purchaser Group, in accordance with Exhibit VI), and fourth, if the Aggregate Capital and accrued Aggregate Discount with respect to each Portion of Capital for all Purchaser Groups have been reduced to zero, the amount on deposit in the LC Collateral Account equals 100% of the Aggregate LC Participation Amount and the aggregate of the Purchasers’ Share of all accrued Servicing Fees payable to the Servicer have been paid in full, to each Purchaser Agent ratably, based on the amounts payable to each Purchaser in such Purchaser Agent’s Purchaser Group (for the benefit of the relevant Purchasers in such Purchaser Agent’s Purchaser Group), the Administrator and any other Indemnified Party or Affected Person in payment in full of any other amounts owed thereto by the Seller hereunder.
After the Aggregate Discount, fees payable pursuant to the Fee Letters and Servicing Fees with respect to the Purchased Interest, and any other amounts payable by the Seller to each Purchaser Group, the Administrator or any other Indemnified Party or Affected Person hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents have been paid in full, and the Exposure has been reduced to zero, all additional Collections with respect to the Purchased Interest shall be paid to the Seller for its own account.
(e)    For the purposes of this Section 1.4:
(i)    if on any day the Outstanding Balance of any Pool Receivable is reduced or adjusted as a result of any defective, rejected, returned, repossessed or foreclosed goods or services, or any revision, cancellation, allowance, rebate, discount or other adjustment made by the Seller or any Affiliate of the Seller or the Servicer or any Affiliate of the Servicer, or any setoff or dispute between the Seller or any Affiliate of the Seller or the Servicer or any Affiliate of the Servicer and an Obligor, the Seller shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection of such Pool Receivable in the amount of such reduction or adjustment and, if such reduction or adjustment (x) causes the Purchased Interest to exceed 100% or (y) occurs after the occurrence of the Facility Termination Date, the Seller shall pay an amount equal to such reduction or adjustment to a Lock-Box Account for the benefit of the Purchasers and their assigns and for application pursuant to Section 1.4 within two (2) Business Days of such reduction or adjustment;
(ii)    if on any day any of the representations or warranties in Sections l(j) or 3(a) of Exhibit III is not true with respect to any Pool Receivable, the Seller shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection of such Pool Receivable in full and, if such breach (x) causes the Purchased Interest to exceed 100% (determined on a pro forma basis after  giving effect to such breach and subtraction of the Outstanding Balance of such Pool Receivables related to such breach from the Net Receivables Pool Balance) or (y) occurs after the occurrence of the Facility Termination Date, the Seller shall pay any and all such amounts in respect thereof to a Lock-Box Account (or as otherwise directed by the Administrator at such time) for the benefit of the Purchasers and their assigns and for application pursuant to Section 1.4 within two (2) Business Days of knowledge of such breach;

(iii)    in the case of clause (ii)(A) above, the Servicer shall hold such Collections in trust for the benefit of the Administrator (for the benefit of each Purchaser based on their respective Portions of Capital funded thereby) for payment to the Administrator (for the benefit of each Purchaser) by deposit in the Administration Account on any Business Day designated by the Servicer in consultation with the Seller upon two Business Days’ notice thereof by the Servicer to the Administrator and each Purchaser Agent, and the Aggregate Capital (together with the Capital of any related Purchaser) shall be deemed reduced in the amount to be paid to the Administrator (on behalf of the Purchasers) only when in fact finally so paid; and
(iv)    any such amounts owing by the Seller pursuant to Section 1.8 related to such reduction shall be deposited into the Administration Account pursuant to Section 1.4(c) on the Settlement Date immediately following the date of such reduction;
provided, that the amount of any such reduction shall be not less than $2,500,000 and shall be an integral multiple of $250,000 in excess thereof.

Upon receipt by the Administrator in the Administration Account of such amounts, the Administrator shall cause such funds to be distributed to the account designated by each applicable Purchaser Agent (for the benefit of the Purchasers in such Purchaser Agent’s Purchaser Group).  All amounts received after noon (New York time) will be deemed to have been received on the next Business Day.

(i)    Any amounts to be distributed by or on behalf of the Administrator hereunder to any Purchaser Agent, Purchaser or Purchaser Group shall be distributed to the account specified in writing from time to time by the applicable Purchaser Agent to the Administrator, and the Administrator shall have no obligation to distribute any such amounts unless and until it actually receives payment of such amounts by the Seller or the Servicer, as applicable, in the Administration Account.  Except as expressly set forth herein (including, without limitation, as set forth in Sections 1.4(b)(ii) or (iii) with respect to Collections held in trust for Exiting Purchasers), the Administrator shall distribute (or cause to be distributed) such amounts to the Purchaser Agents for the Purchasers within their respective Purchaser Groups ratably (x) in the case of such amounts paid in respect of Discount and Fees, according to the Discount and Fees payable to the Purchasers and (y) in the case of such amounts paid in respect of Capital (or in respect of any other obligations other than Discount and Fees), according to the outstanding Capital funded by the Purchasers.
(ii)    Except as expressly set forth herein (including, without limitation, as set forth in Sections 1.4(b)(ii) or (iii) with respect to Collections held in trust for Exiting Purchasers), each Purchaser Agent shall distribute the amounts paid to it hereunder for the benefit of the Purchasers in its Purchaser Group to the Purchasers within its Purchaser Group ratably (x) in the case of such amounts paid in respect of Discount and Fees, according to the

(b)    The Seller or 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 Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, when due hereunder, at an interest rate equal to 2.0% per annum above the Base Rate (or with respect to amounts payable by reference to the CP Rate or the Alternate Rate, 2% per annum above such rate), payable on demand.
(c)    All computations of interest under clause (b) and all computations of Discount, fees and other amounts hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 (or 365 or 366, as applicable, with respect to Discount or other amounts calculated by reference to the Base Rate) days 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 1.7    Increased Costs.
(a)    If, after the Original Closing Date, the Administrator, any Purchaser Agent, any Purchaser, any Liquidity Provider or any other Program Support Provider or any of their respective Affiliates (each an “Affected Person”) reasonably determines that the adoption, amendment, change in interpretation or application of any of the following (each, a “Regulatory Change”) or in the case of (x) a Regulatory Change described in clause (iii) below (subject to the following clause (y)), the existence of or (y) a Regulatory Change described in clause (iii)(C) below solely with respect to the second accord adopted by the BASEL Committee on Banking Supervision or FAS 166/167 Capital Guidelines, the amendment, change in interpretation or application of:  
    (i)    any law, rule, regulation or generally accepted accounting principle (including any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy) or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof; 
    (ii)    any request, guideline or directive from Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), or any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law); or
    (iii)    without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (A) the final rule titled Risk-Based Capital Guidelines; Capital Adequacy Guidelines; Capital Maintenance: Regulatory Capital; Impact of Modifications to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles; Consolidation of Asset-Backed Commercial Paper Programs; and Other Related Issues, adopted by the United States bank regulatory agencies on December 15, 2009 (the “FAS 166/167 Capital Guidelines”), (B) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd Frank Act”), (C) the BASEL Accord, or (D) any existing or future rules, regulations, guidance, interpretations or directives from any Governmental Authority relating to the FAS 166/167 Capital Guidelines, the Dodd-Frank Act or the BASEL Accord (whether or not having the force of law);
    14
740811803 17540157

affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Affected Person, and such Affected Person determines that the amount of such capital is increased by or based upon the existence of any commitment to make purchases of (or otherwise to maintain the investment in) Pool Receivables or issue any Letter of Credit related to this Agreement or any related liquidity facility, credit enhancement facility and other commitments of the same type, then, within 10 Business Days following demand by such Affected Person (with a copy to the Administrator), the Seller shall promptly pay to the Administrator, for the account of such Affected Person, from time to time as specified by such Affected Person, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Affected Person for such increased costs in the light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Affected Person reasonably determines such increase in capital to be allocable to the existence of any of such commitments.  For the avoidance of doubt, if the issuance or adoption of FAS 166/167 Capital Guidelines, the Dodd Frank Act, the BASEL Accord, or any other change in accounting standards or the issuance of any other pronouncement, release or interpretation, causes or requires the consolidation of all or a portion of the assets and liabilities of any Conduit Purchaser or the Seller with the assets and liabilities of such Affected Person, such event shall constitute a circumstance on which such Person may base a claim for reimbursement under this Section 1.7.  A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Seller and the Administrator by such Affected Person and showing in reasonable detail the basis of computation thereof shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error; provided, that the Seller shall not be required to compensate an Affected Person pursuant to this Section 1.7(a) for any increased costs incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Affected Person notifies the Seller of the Regulatory Change giving rise to such increased costs and of such Affected Persons intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Regulatory Change giving rise to such increased costs is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
(b)    If, after the date hereof, due to the existence of or compliance with any Regulatory Change, there shall be any increase in the cost to any Affected Person of agreeing to purchase or purchasing, or maintaining the ownership of, the Purchased Interest (or its portion thereof) in respect of which Discount is computed by reference to LMIR, then, upon demand by such Affected Person, the Seller shall promptly pay to such Affected Person, from time to time as specified by such Affected Person, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Affected Person for such increased costs.  A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Seller and the Administrator by such Affected Person and showing in reasonable detail the basis of computation thereof shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error; provided, that the Seller shall not be required to compensate an Affected Person pursuant to this Section 1.7(b) for any increased costs incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Affected Person notifies the Seller of the Regulatory Change giving rise to such increased costs and of such Affected Persons intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Regulatory Change giving rise to such increased costs is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
(c)    If such increased costs affect the related Affected Person’s portfolio of financing transactions, such Affected Person shall use reasonable averaging and attribution methods to allocate such increased costs to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  A certificate 
    15
740811803 17540157

as to such amounts describing any averaging or attribution methods shall be submitted to the Seller and the Administrator by such Affected Person and shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
(d)    For the avoidance of doubt, and not in limitation of the foregoing, any increase in cost and/or reduction in yield caused by regulatory capital allocation adjustments due to Statements of Financial Accounting Standards Nos. 166 and 167 (or any future statements or interpretations issued by FASB or any successor thereto) (collectively, “FAS 166/167”) shall be covered by this Section 1.7.
Section 1.8    Requirements of Law; Funding Losses.
(a)    If, after the date hereof, any Affected Person reasonably determines that the existence of or compliance with any Regulatory Change:
(i)    does or shall subject such Affected Person to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any increase in the Purchased Interest (or its portion thereof) or in the amount of Capital relating thereto, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Affected Persons on account of Collections, Discount or any other amounts payable hereunder (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 1.10 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of any Excluded Tax payable by such Affected Person) provided, however, that the foregoing conditions are met as a result of a Change in Law,
(ii)    does or shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, purchases, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Affected Person that are not otherwise included in the determination of LMIR or the Base Rate hereunder, or 
(iii)    does or shall impose on such Affected Person any other condition, 
and the result of any of the foregoing is:  (A) to increase the cost to such Affected Person of acting as Administrator, or of agreeing to purchase or purchasing or maintaining the ownership of undivided percentage ownership interests with regard to, or issuing any Letter of Credit in respect of, the Purchased Interest (or interests therein) or any Portion of Capital, or (B) to reduce any amount receivable hereunder (whether directly or indirectly), then, in any such case, within (10) Business Days of demand therefor by such Affected Person, the Seller shall pay to such Affected Person additional amounts necessary to compensate such Affected Person for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable.  All such amounts shall be payable as incurred.  A certificate as to such amounts from such Affected Person to the Seller and the Administrator and showing in reasonable detail the basis of computation thereof shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error; provided, that the Seller shall not be required to compensate an Affected Person pursuant to this Section 1.8 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that such Affected Person notifies the Seller of the Regulatory Change giving rise to such increased costs and of such Affected Persons intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Regulatory Change giving rise to such increased costs is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
(b)    The Seller shall compensate each Affected Person, upon written request by such Person, for all losses, expenses and liabilities (including any loss, expense or liability incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Affected 
    16
740811803 17540157

Person), as a result of (i) any repayment (in whole or in part) of any Purchaser’s Portion of Capital, that is funded other than through the issuance of Notes, on any day other than a Monthly Settlement Date or (ii) any Purchase not being completed by the Seller in accordance with its request therefor pursuant to Section 1.2. Such losses, expenses and liabilities shall include, without limitation, the amount, if any, by which (A) the additional Discount (without giving effect to any Termination Event) that would have accrued had such repayment or failure to Purchase not have occurred, exceeds (B) the income, if any, received by the applicable Purchaser from investing the proceeds of such repayment of Capital or reemployment of funds, as determined by such Affected Person.  Such written request (which shall include calculations in reasonable detail) shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding upon the Seller.
Section 1.9    Inability to Determine LMIR.
(a)    If the Administrator (or any Purchaser Agent) determines on any day (which determination shall be final and conclusive) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank eurodollar market generally, (i) deposits in dollars (in the relevant amounts for such Settlement Period (or portion thereof)) are not being offered to banks in the interbank eurodollar market for such Settlement Period (or portion thereof), (ii) adequate means do not exist for ascertaining LMIR for such Settlement Period (or portion thereof) or (iii) LMIR does not accurately reflect the cost to any Purchaser (as determined by such Purchaser or such Purchaser’s Purchaser Agent) of maintaining any Portion of Capital during such Settlement Period (or portion thereof), then the Administrator (or any Purchaser Agent) shall give notice thereof to the Seller.  Thereafter, until the Administrator or such Purchaser Agent notifies the Seller that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, (a) no Portion of Capital shall be funded at the Alternate Rate or Base Rate, in either case determined by reference to LMIR, (b) the Discount for any outstanding Portions of Capital then funded at the Alternate Rate determined by reference to LMIR shall immediately be converted to the Alternate Rate determined by reference to the Base Rate without reference to clause (c) of the definition thereof and (c) the Discount for any outstanding Portions of Capital then funded at the Base Rate determined by reference to LMIR shall immediately be converted to the Base Rate determined without reference to clause (c) of the definition thereof.
(b)    If, on any day, the Administrator shall have been notified by any Affected Person that such Affected Person has determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive) that, any enactment, promulgation or adoption of or any Regulatory Change, applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by a Governmental Authority or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by such Affected Person with any guideline, request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall make it unlawful or impossible for such Affected Person to fund or maintain any Portion of Capital at the Alternate Rate and based upon LMIR, the Administrator shall notify the Seller thereof.  Upon receipt of such notice, until the Administrator notifies the Seller that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer apply, (a) no Portion of Capital shall be funded at the Alternate Rate determined by reference to LMIR and (b) the Discount for any outstanding Portions of Capital then funded at the Alternate Rate determined by reference to LMIR shall immediately be converted to the Alternate Rate determined by reference to the Base Rate.

(a)    Payments Free of Taxes.  Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Seller hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes; provided that if the Seller shall be required by Applicable Law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions for Indemnified Taxes (including any Other Taxes) (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) each of the Administrator, the Purchasers, or Purchaser Agent, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions for Indemnified Taxes (including any Other Taxes) been made, (ii) the Seller shall make such deductions and (iii) the Seller shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.

A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Seller by the Administrator, such Purchaser, or such Purchaser Agent (with a copy to the Administrator), shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the LC Bank shall have no obligation hereunder to issue any Letters of Credit the proceeds of which would be made available to any Person to fund any activity or business of or with any Sanctioned Person or in any country or territory that, at the time of such funding, is the subject of any Sanctions Laws in any manner that would result in a violation of any Sanctions Laws by any party to this Agreement.

In the event the Seller fails to reimburse the applicable LC Bank for the full amount of any drawing under any Letter of Credit by noon, New York time, on the Drawing Date (including because the conditions precedent to a Funded Purchase deemed to have been requested by Seller pursuant to Section 1.1(b) to reimburse such LC Bank shall not have been satisfied), such LC Bank will promptly notify the Administrator and each Purchaser Agent thereof.

740811803 17540157

Section 1.22    Conduit Purchaser Rate Event.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 1.1(a), if at any time a Conduit Purchaser Rate Event shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to a Conduit Purchaser in any Purchaser Group (any such Purchaser Group, an “Excluded Purchaser Group”), if requested by the Seller in its sole discretion (i) any Funded Purchase that occurs during the continuance of any Conduit Purchaser Rate Event shall be made by Purchasers other than any Purchaser in an Excluded Purchaser Group and (ii) any Excluded Purchaser Group shall be excluded for purposes of calculating the “Ratable Share”, “Actual Share”, “Exposure” and “Deficient Share” solely for purposes of Section 1.1(a), for so long as the Seller may designate.  Any such request by the Seller shall be set forth in a Purchase Notice delivered to the Administrator and each Purchaser Agent (including the Purchaser Agent for such Excluded Purchaser Group) in accordance with Section 1.2(a).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller may request that a Funded Purchase that occurs during the continuance of a Conduit Purchaser Rate Event be made by the Purchasers in an Excluded Purchaser Group on a pro rata basis with 
    24
740811803 17540157

the Purchasers in the non-Excluded Purchaser Groups, or on a non-pro rata basis in accordance with Section 1.1(a).
Section 1.23    Successor LMIR.Benchmark Replacement Setting.
(a)    If the Administrator determines (which determination shall be final and conclusive, absent manifest error) that either (i) (A) the circumstances set forth in Section 1.9 have arisen and are unlikely to be temporary, or (B) the circumstances set forth in Section 1.9 have not arisen but the applicable supervisor or administrator (if any) of LMIR or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrator has made a public statement identifying the specific date after which LMIR shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans (either such date, a “LMIR Termination Date”), or (ii) a rate other than LMIR has become a widely recognized benchmark rate for newly originated loans in dollars in the U.S. market, then the Administrator may (in consultation with the Seller) choose a replacement index for LMIR and make adjustments to applicable margins and related amendments to this Agreement as referred to below such that, to the extent practicable, the all-in Discount based on the replacement index will be substantially equivalent to the all-in Discount based on LMIR in effect prior to its replacement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Transaction Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Transaction Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Purchaser Agents without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document so long as the Administrator has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from the Purchaser Agents comprising the Majority Purchasers.
(b)    Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrator will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.
(c)    Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrator will promptly notify the Seller and the Purchaser Agents of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (iv) 
    25
740811803 17540157

the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to paragraph (d) below and (v) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrator or, if applicable, any Purchaser Agent (or group of Purchaser Agents) pursuant to this Section 1.23, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 1.23. 
(d)    Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrator in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or will be no longer representative, then the Administrator may modify the definition of “Settlement Period” for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrator may modify the definition of “Settlement Period” for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.
(e)    Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Seller’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Seller may revoke any request for a Purchase accruing Discount based on LMIR, conversion to or continuation of Portions of Capital bearing interest based on LMIR to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Seller will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Purchase of or conversion to Portion of Capital accruing Discount by reference to the Base Rate. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the Base Rate.
(f)    Secondary Term SOFR Conversion.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document and subject to the proviso below in this paragraph, if a Term SOFR Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (i) the applicable Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder or under any Transaction Document in respect of such Benchmark setting (the “Secondary Term SOFR Conversion Date”) and subsequent Benchmark settings, without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; and (ii) Portions of Capital outstanding on the Secondary Term SOFR Conversion Date accruing Discount based on the then-current Benchmark shall be deemed to 
    26
740811803 17540157

have been converted to Portions of Capital bearing interest at the Benchmark Replacement with a tenor approximately the same length as the interest payment period of the then-current Benchmark; provided that, this paragraph (f) shall not be effective unless the Administrator has delivered to the Purchaser Agents and the Seller a Term SOFR Notice.  
(g)    Certain Defined Terms. As used in this Section 1.23: 
“Available Tenor” means, as of any date of determination and with respect to the then-current Benchmark, as applicable, (x) if the then current Benchmark is a term rate or is based on a term rate, any tenor for such Benchmark that is or may be used for determining the length of an Settlement Period pursuant to this Agreement as of such date and not including, for the avoidance of doubt, any tenor for such Benchmark that is then-removed from the definition of “Settlement Period” pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section 1.23, or (y) if the then current Benchmark is not a term rate nor based on a term rate, any payment period for interest calculated with reference to such Benchmark pursuant to this Agreement as of such date. For the avoidance of doubt, the Available Tenor for LMIR is three months.

“Benchmark” means, initially, LMIR; provided that if a Benchmark Transition Event a Term SOFR Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to LMIR, or the then-current Benchmark, then “Benchmark” means the applicable Benchmark Replacement to the extent that such Benchmark Replacement has replaced such prior benchmark rate pursuant to paragraphs (a) or (f) of this Section 1.23. 

“Benchmark Replacement” means, for any Available Tenor, the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Administrator for the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date: 

(1)    the sum of: (a) Term SOFR and (b) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment; 

(2)    the sum of: (a) Daily Simple SOFR and (b) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment; 

(b)    The Administrator and the Seller shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect the replacement index, the adjusted margins and such other related amendments as may be appropriate, in the discretion of the Administrator, for the implementation and administration of the replacement index-based rate.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents (including, without limitation, Section 5.1), such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the tenth (10th) Business Day after the date a draft of the amendment is provided to the Purchasers, unless the Administrator receives, on or before such tenth (10th) Business Day, a written notice from the Majority Purchaser Agents stating that such Majority Purchaser Agents object to such amendment.  (3) the sum of: (a) the alternate benchmark rate that has been selected by the Administrator and the Seller as the replacement for the then-current Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation 
    27
740811803 17540157

of a replacement benchmark rate or the mechanism for determining such a rate by the Relevant Governmental Body or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a benchmark rate as a replacement for the then-current Benchmark for U.S. dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities at such time and (b) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment; 
(c)    Selection of the replacement index, adjustments to the applicable margins, and amendments to this Agreement (i) will be determined with due consideration to the then-current market practices for determining and implementing a rate of interest for newly originated loans in the United States and loans converted from a rate based on LMIR to a replacement index-based rate, and (ii) may also reflect adjustments to account for (A) the effects of the transition from LMIR to the replacement index and (B) yield- or risk-based differences between LMIR and the replacement index.
(d)    Until an amendment reflecting a new replacement index in accordance with this Section 1.23 is effective, any Portion of Capital for which Discount is determined by reference to LMIR will continue to accrue Discount with reference to LMIR, provided however, that

provided that, in the case of clause (1), such Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement is displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrator in its reasonable discretion; provided, further, that, with respect to a Term SOFR Transition Event, on the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date, the “Benchmark Replacement” shall revert to and shall be determined as set forth in clause (1) of this definition. If the Benchmark Replacement as determined pursuant to clause (1), (2) or (3) above would be less than the Floor, the Benchmark Replacement will be deemed to be the Floor for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. 

“Benchmark Replacement Adjustment” means, with respect to any replacement of the then-current Benchmark with an Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for any applicable Available Tenor for any setting of such Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement: 

(1) for purposes of clauses (1) and (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement,” the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Administrator: 

(a) the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) as of the Reference Time such Benchmark Replacement is first set for such Available Tenor that has been selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for the applicable Corresponding Tenor; 

(b) the spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) as of the Reference Time such Benchmark Replacement is first set for such 
    28
740811803 17540157

Available Tenor that would apply to the fallback rate for a derivative transaction referencing the ISDA Definitions to be effective upon an index cessation event with respect to such Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor; and 

(2) for purposes of clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement,” the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected by the Administrator and the Seller for the applicable Corresponding Tenor giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement by the Relevant Governmental Body on the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for U.S. dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities; 

provided that, (x) in the case of clause (1) above, such adjustment is displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such Benchmark Replacement Adjustment from time to time as selected by the Administrator in its reasonable discretion and (y) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate, more than one tenor of such Benchmark is available as of the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date and the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement will not be a term rate, the Available Tenor of such Benchmark for purposes of this definition of “Benchmark Replacement Adjustment” shall be deemed to be the Available Tenor that has approximately the same length (disregarding business day adjustments) as the payment period for interest calculated with reference to such Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement. 

“Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes” means, with respect to any Benchmark Replacement, any technical, administrative or operational changes (including changes to the definition of “Base Rate,” the definition of “Business Day,” the definition of “Settlement Period,” timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest, timing of borrowing requests or prepayment, conversion or continuation notices, length of lookback periods, the applicability of breakage provisions, and other technical, administrative or operational matters) that the Administrator decides may be appropriate to reflect the adoption and implementation of such Benchmark Replacement and to permit the administration thereof by the Administrator in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Administrator decides that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Administrator determines (which determination shall be final and conclusive, absent manifest error) that a LMIR Termination Date has occurred, then following the LMIR Termination Date, all Portions of Capital for which Discount would otherwise be determined with reference to LMIR shall automatically begin accruing Discount with reference to the Base Rate until such time as an amendment reflecting a replacement index and related matters as described above is implemented.  
    29
740811803 17540157

(e)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time the replacement index is less than zero, at such times, such index shall be deemed to be zero for purposes of this Agreement.that no market practice for the administration of such Benchmark Replacement exists, in such other manner of administration as the Administrator decides is reasonably necessary in connection with the administration of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents). 

“Benchmark Replacement Date” means the earliest to occur of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark: 

(1) in the case of clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the later of (a) the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein and (b) the date on which the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) permanently or indefinitely ceases to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof); 

(2) in the case of clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the date determined by the Administrator, which date shall promptly follow the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein; 

(3) in the case of a Term SOFR Transition Event, the date that is set forth in the Term SOFR Notice provided to the Purchaser Agents and the Seller pursuant to this Section 1.23, which date shall be at least 30 days from the date of the Term SOFR Notice; or

Each of the Seller and the Servicer hereby makes the representations and warranties, and hereby agrees to perform and observe the covenants, applicable to it as set forth in Exhibits III and IV, respectively.
Section 2.2    Termination Events.
If any of the Termination Events set forth in Exhibit V shall occur, the Administrator may (with the consent of the Majority Purchaser Agents) and shall (at the direction of the Majority Purchaser Agents), by notice to the Seller, declare the Facility Termination Date to have occurred (in which case the Facility Termination Date shall be deemed to have occurred); provided, that automatically upon the occurrence of any event (without any requirement for the passage of time or the giving of notice) described in paragraph (e) of Exhibit 
    33
740811803 17540157

V, the Facility Termination Date shall occur.  Upon any such declaration, occurrence or deemed occurrence of the Facility Termination Date, the Purchasers, the Purchaser Agents and the Administrator shall have, in addition to the rights and remedies that they may have under this Agreement, all other rights and remedies provided after default under the UCC and under other applicable law, which rights and remedies shall be cumulative.  For the avoidance of doubt, while the occurrence of a Termination Event shall result in the termination of Purchases under this Agreement, in no event will the occurrence of a Termination Event be deemed to permit the Administrator or the Purchaser Agents to demand prepayment, repurchase, defeasance or redemption of the outstanding Capital; provided, however, that this sentence shall not be construed to derogate from the Purchasers’, the Purchaser Agents’ or the Administrator’s rights or remedies provided for in this Section or any of their rights to distributions of Collections in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (including distributions in payment or repayment of Capital).

(ix)    any failure of the Seller to perform its duties or obligations in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party;

740811803 17540157

(xiii)    any reduction in Capital as a result of the distribution of Collections pursuant to Section 1.4(d), if all or a portion of such distributions shall thereafter be rescinded or otherwise must be returned for any reason.
Section 3.2    Indemnities by the Servicer.
Without limiting any other rights that any Indemnified Party may have hereunder or under applicable law, the Servicer hereby agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Party from and against any and all Indemnified Amounts arising out of or resulting from (whether directly or indirectly):  (a) the failure of any information contained in an Information Package to be true and correct on the date thereof (or, if such information is stated therein to be as of a different date, on such different date), or the failure of any other information provided to any such Indemnified Party by, or on behalf of, the Servicer to be true and correct on the date thereof (or, if such information is stated therein to be as of a different date, on such different date), (b) the failure of any representation, warranty or statement made or deemed made by the Servicer (or any of its officers) under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party to have been true and correct as of the date made or deemed made when made, (c) the failure by the Servicer to comply with any applicable law, rule or regulation with respect to any Pool Receivable or the related Contract, (d) any dispute, claim, offset or defense of the Obligor (other than as a result of discharge in bankruptcy with respect to such Obligor) to the payment of any Receivable in, or purporting to be in, the Receivables Pool resulting from or related to the collection activities with respect to such Receivable, or (e) any failure of the Servicer to perform its duties or obligations in accordance with the provisions hereof or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party, excluding only Indemnified Amounts to the extent: (a) a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction holds that such Indemnified Amounts resulted from gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Party seeking indemnification or (b) due to the credit risk of the Obligor.
ARTICLE IV.
ADMINISTRATION AND COLLECTIONS
Section 4.1    Appointment of the Servicer.
(a)    The servicing, administering and collection of the Pool Receivables shall be conducted by the Person so designated from time to time as the Servicer in accordance with this Section.  Until the Administrator gives notice to Owens Corning Sales of the designation of a new Servicer during the continuation of a Servicer Default, Owens Corning Sales is hereby designated as, and hereby agrees to perform the duties and obligations of, the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof.  During the continuation of a Servicer Default, the Administrator may (with the consent of the Majority Purchaser Agents) and shall (at the direction of the Majority Purchaser Agents) designate as Servicer any Person (including itself) to succeed Owens Corning Sales or any successor Servicer, on the condition in each case that any such Person so designated shall agree to perform the duties and obligations of the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof.
(b)    Upon the designation of a successor Servicer as set forth in clause (a), Owens Corning Sales agrees that it will terminate its activities as Servicer hereunder in a manner that the Administrator determines will facilitate the transition of the performance of such activities to the new Servicer, and Owens Corning Sales shall cooperate with and assist such new Servicer.  Such cooperation shall include access to and transfer of related records (including all Contracts) and 
    36
740811803 17540157

use by the new Servicer of all licenses, hardware or software necessary or desirable to collect the Pool Receivables and the Related Security.
(c)    Owens Corning Sales acknowledges that, in making their decision to execute and deliver this Agreement, the Administrator, the Purchaser Agents and the Purchasers have relied on Owens Corning Sales’ agreement to act as Servicer hereunder.  Accordingly, Owens Corning Sales agrees that it will not voluntarily resign as Servicer without the prior written consent of the Administrator and the Purchasers.
(d)    The Servicer may delegate its duties and obligations hereunder to any subservicer (each a “Sub-Servicer”); provided, that, in each such delegation (other than any delegation consistent with past practices to a collection agency to service Pool Receivables that are Defaulted Receivables that are not owing by the ten largest Obligors at the time of delegation computed based upon the Outstanding Balance of Pool Receivables at such time (unless the Majority Purchaser Agents have consented in writing to such delegation with respect to any of such ten Obligors)):  (i) each such Sub-Servicer shall agree in writing to perform the delegated duties and obligations of the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof, (ii) the Servicer shall remain liable for the performance of the duties and obligations so delegated, (iii) the Seller, the Administrator, the Purchaser Agents and the Purchasers shall have the right to look solely to the Servicer for performance, and (iv) the terms of any agreement with any Sub-Servicer shall provide that the Administrator may terminate such agreement upon the termination of the 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); provided, however, that if any such delegation is to any Person other than an Originator or an Affiliate thereof, the Administrator and the Majority Purchaser Agents shall have consented in writing in advance to such delegation.
Section 4.2    Duties of the Servicer.
(a)    The Servicer shall take or cause to be taken all such action as may be necessary or advisable to administer and collect each Pool Receivable from time to time, all in accordance with this Agreement and all applicable laws, rules and regulations, with reasonable care and diligence, and in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policies.  The Servicer shall set aside, for the accounts of the Seller and the Purchasers, the amount of the Collections to which each is entitled in accordance with Article I.  The Servicer may, in accordance with the applicable Credit and Collection Policy, take such action, including modifications, waivers or restructurings of Pool Receivables and the related Contracts as the Servicer may determine to be appropriate to maximize Collections thereof or reflect adjustments permitted under the Credit and Collection Policy or required under applicable laws, rules or regulations or the applicable Contract; provided, however, that for the purposes of this Agreement (i) such action shall not change the number of days such Pool Receivable has remained unpaid from the date of the original due date related to such Pool Receivable, (ii) such action shall not alter the status of such Pool Receivable as a Delinquent Receivable or a Defaulted Receivable under this Agreement or limit the rights of any of the Purchasers, Purchaser Agents or the Administrator under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document and (iii) if a Servicer Default has occurred and is continuing and Owens Corning Sales or an Affiliate thereof is serving as the Servicer, Owens Corning Sales or such Affiliate shall not without the Administrator’s prior written consent take any such action with respect to any Pool Receivable, the Obligor of which is among the ten largest Obligors at such time computed based upon the Outstanding Balance of Pool Receivables 
    37
740811803 17540157

at such time if such action is not permitted under the Credit and Collection Policy in effect immediately prior to such Servicer Default.  The Seller shall deliver to the Servicer and the Servicer shall hold for the benefit of the Seller and the Administrator (individually and for the benefit of the Purchasers), in accordance with their respective interests, all records and documents (including computer tapes or disks) with respect to each Pool Receivable.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if a Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Administrator may direct the Servicer (whether the Servicer is Owens Corning Sales or any other Person) to commence or settle any legal action to enforce collection of any Pool Receivable that is a Defaulted Receivable or to foreclose upon or repossess, if applicable, any Related Security with respect to any such Defaulted Receivable.
(b)    The Servicer shall, as soon as practicable following actual receipt of collected funds, turn over to the Seller the collections of any indebtedness that is not a Pool Receivable.  The Servicer, if other than Owens Corning Sales or an Affiliate thereof, shall, as soon as practicable upon demand, deliver to the Seller all records in its possession that evidence or relate to any indebtedness that is not a Pool Receivable, and copies of records in its possession that evidence or relate to any indebtedness that is a Pool Receivable.
(c)    The Servicer’s obligations hereunder shall terminate on the latest of:  (i) the Facility Termination Date, (ii) the date on which no Capital of or Discount in respect of the Purchased Interest shall be outstanding, (iii) the date on which 100% of the Aggregate LC Participation Amount is on deposit in the LC Collateral Account and  (iv) the date on which all amounts (other than contingent, unasserted indemnification claims) required to be paid to the Purchasers, the Purchaser Agents, the Administrator and any other Indemnified Party or Affected Person hereunder shall have been paid in full.  After such termination, if Owens Corning Sales or an Affiliate thereof was not the Servicer on the date of such termination, the Servicer shall promptly deliver to the Seller all books, records and related materials that the Seller previously provided to the Servicer, or that have been obtained by the Servicer, in connection with this Agreement.
Section 4.3    Account Arrangements.
Prior to the Original Closing Date, the Seller shall have entered into Lock-Box Agreements with all of the Lock-Box Banks and in each case delivered original counterparts thereof to the Administrator.  During the continuation of a Termination Event, the Administrator may (and shall, at the direction of the Majority Purchaser Agents)  at any time thereafter give notice to each Lock-Box Bank that the Administrator is exercising its rights under the Lock-Box Agreements to do any or all of the following:  (a) to have the exclusive control of the Lock-Box Accounts (and any funds therein) transferred to the Administrator (for the benefit of the Purchasers) and to exercise exclusive dominion and control over the funds deposited therein, (b) to have the proceeds that are sent to the respective Lock-Box Accounts redirected pursuant to the Administrator’s instructions rather than deposited in the applicable Lock-Box Account, and (c) to take any or all other actions permitted under the applicable Lock-Box Agreement.  The Seller hereby agrees that if the Administrator at any time takes any action set forth in the preceding sentence, the Administrator shall have exclusive control (for the benefit of the Purchasers) of the proceeds (including Collections) of all Pool Receivables and the Seller hereby further agrees to take any other action that the Administrator may reasonably request to transfer such control.  Any proceeds of Pool Receivables received by the Seller or the Servicer thereafter shall be sent immediately to, or as otherwise instructed by, the Administrator.  The parties hereto hereby 
    38
740811803 17540157

acknowledge that if at any time the Administrator takes control of any Lock-Box Account, the Administrator shall not have any rights to the funds therein in excess of the unpaid amounts due to the Administrator, the Purchaser Agents, the Purchasers, any Indemnified Party, any Affected Person or any other Person hereunder or under any other Transaction Document, and the Administrator shall distribute or cause to be distributed such funds in accordance with Section 4.2(b) and Article I (in each case as if such funds were held by the Servicer thereunder).
Section 4.4    Enforcement Rights.
(a)    At any time following the occurrence and during the continuation of a Servicer Default:
(i)    the Administrator may direct the Obligors that payment of all amounts payable under any Pool Receivable is to be made directly to the Administrator or its designee,
(ii)    the Administrator may instruct the Seller or the Servicer to give notice of the Purchasers’ interest in Pool Receivables to each Obligor, which notice shall direct that payments be made directly to the Administrator or its designee (on behalf of the Purchasers), and the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, shall give such notice at the expense of the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be; provided, that if the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, fails to so notify each Obligor, the Administrator (at the Seller’s or the Servicer’s, as the case may be, expense) may so notify the Obligors, and
(iii)    the Administrator may request the Servicer to, and upon such request the Servicer shall:  (A) assemble all of the records necessary or desirable to collect the Pool Receivables and the Related Security, and transfer or license to a successor Servicer the use of all software necessary or desirable to collect the Pool Receivables and the Related Security, and make the same available to the Administrator or its designee (for the benefit of the Purchasers) at a place selected by the Administrator, and (B) segregate all cash, checks and other instruments received by it from time to time constituting Collections in a manner acceptable to the Administrator and, promptly upon receipt, remit all such cash, checks and instruments, duly endorsed or with duly executed instruments of transfer, to the Administrator or its designee.
(b)    The Seller hereby authorizes the Administrator (on behalf of each Purchaser Group), and irrevocably appoints the Administrator as its attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution and with full authority in the place and stead of the Seller, which appointment is coupled with an interest, to take any and all steps in the name of the Seller and on behalf of the Seller necessary or desirable, in the determination of the Administrator, following the occurrence and during the continuation of a Termination Event, to collect any and all amounts or portions thereof due under any and all Pool Assets, including endorsing the name of the Seller on checks and other instruments representing Collections and enforcing such Pool Assets.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this subsection, none of the powers conferred upon such attorney-in-fact pursuant to the preceding sentence shall subject such attorney-in-fact to any liability if any action taken by it shall prove to be inadequate or invalid, nor shall they confer any obligations upon such attorney-in-fact in any manner whatsoever.
Section 4.5    Responsibilities of the Seller.
(a)    Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Seller shall:  (i) perform all of its obligations, if any, under the Contracts related to the Pool Receivables to the same extent as if interests in such Pool Receivables had not been transferred hereunder, and the exercise by 
    39
740811803 17540157

the Administrator, any Purchaser Agent or any Purchaser of their respective rights hereunder shall not relieve the Seller from such obligations, and (ii) pay when due any taxes, including any sales taxes payable in connection with the Pool Receivables and their creation and satisfaction.  None of the Administrator, the Purchaser Agents and the Purchasers shall have any obligation or liability with respect to any Pool Asset, nor shall any of them be obligated to perform any of the obligations of the Seller or any Originator thereunder.
(b)    Owens Corning Sales hereby irrevocably agrees that if at any time it shall cease to be the Servicer hereunder, it shall act (if the then-current Servicer so requests) as the data-processing agent of the Servicer and, in such capacity, Owens Corning Sales shall conduct the data-processing functions of the administration of the Receivables and the Collections thereon in substantially the same way that Owens Corning Sales conducted such data-processing functions while it acted as the Servicer.
Section 4.6    Servicing Fee.
(a)    Subject to clause (b), the Servicer shall be paid a fee (the “Servicing Fee”) equal to 1.00% per annum (the “Servicing Fee Rate”) of the daily average aggregate Outstanding Balance of the Pool Receivables as of the last day of each month.  The Purchasers’ Share of such fee shall be paid through the distributions contemplated by Section 1.4(d), and the Seller’s Share of such fee shall be paid by the Seller on each Settlement Date.
(b)    If the Servicer ceases to be Owens Corning Sales or an Affiliate thereof, the servicing fee shall be the greater of:  (i) the amount calculated pursuant to clause (a), and (ii) an alternative amount specified by the successor Servicer not to exceed 110% of the aggregate reasonable costs and expenses incurred by such successor Servicer in connection with the performance of its obligations as Servicer.
Section 4.7    Authorization and Action of the Administrator and Purchaser Agents.
(a)    Each Purchaser and Purchaser Agent hereby accepts the appointment of and irrevocably authorizes the Administrator to take such actions as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrator hereby and to exercise such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  The Administrator shall hold, in its name, for the benefit of each Purchaser, ratably, the Purchased Interest.  The Administrator shall not have any duties other than those expressly set forth herein or any fiduciary relationship with any Purchaser or Purchaser Agent, and no implied obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement, or otherwise exist, against the Administrator.  The Administrator does not assume, nor shall it be deemed to have assumed, any obligation to, or relationship of trust or agency with, the Seller or Servicer.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to the contrary, in no event shall the Administrator ever be required to take any action which exposes the Administrator to personal liability or which is contrary to the provisions of this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or applicable law.  The appointment and authority of the Administrator hereunder shall terminate on the latest of (i) the Facility Termination Date, (ii) the date on which no Capital of or Discount in respect of the Purchased Interest shall be outstanding, (iii) the date on which 100% of the Aggregate LC Participation Amount is on deposit in the LC Collateral Account and (iv) the date on which all amounts required to be paid by the Seller under this Agreement to any Purchaser, the Administrator and any other Indemnified Party or Affected Person shall have been paid in full.
    40
740811803 17540157

(b)    Each Purchaser hereby accepts the appointment of the respective institution identified as the Purchaser Agent for such Purchaser’s Purchaser Group on Schedule IV hereto or in the Assumption Agreement or Transfer Supplement pursuant to which such Purchaser becomes a party hereto, and irrevocably authorizes such Purchaser 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 Purchaser 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 Purchaser Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Purchaser or other Purchaser Agent or the Administrator, and no implied obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement, or otherwise exist, against any Purchaser Agent. 
(c)    Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 4.7 are solely for the benefit of the Administrator, the Purchaser Agents and the Purchasers, and none of the Seller or the Servicer shall have any rights as a third-party beneficiary or otherwise under any of the provisions of this Section 4.7, except that this Section 4.7 shall not affect any obligations which the Administrator, any Purchaser Agent or any Purchaser may have to the Seller or the Servicer under the other provisions of this Agreement.  Furthermore, no Purchaser shall have any rights as a third-party beneficiary or otherwise under any of the provisions hereof in respect of a Purchaser Agent that is not the Purchaser Agent for such Purchaser.
(d)    In performing its functions and duties hereunder, the Administrator shall act solely as the agent of the Purchasers and the Purchaser Agents and does not assume nor shall be deemed to have assumed any obligation or relationship of trust or agency with or for the Seller or Servicer or any of their successors and assigns.  In performing its functions and duties hereunder, each Purchaser Agent shall act solely as the agent of its respective Purchasers and does not assume nor shall be deemed to have assumed any obligation or relationship of trust or agency with or for the Seller, the Servicer, any Purchaser not in such Purchaser Agent’s Purchaser Group, any other Purchaser Agent or the Administrator, or any of their respective successors and assigns.

The Administrator shall not have, by reason of this Agreement, a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Purchaser.  Nothing in this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents, express or implied, is intended to or shall be construed to impose upon the Administrator any obligations in respect of this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents except as expressly set forth herein or therein.

Servicer, whether coming into its possession before the date hereof or at any time or times thereafter.  If the Administrator seeks the consent or approval of the Purchasers or the Purchaser Agents to the taking or refraining from taking any action hereunder, the Administrator shall send notice thereof to each Purchaser (or such Purchaser’s Purchaser Agent, on its behalf) or each Purchaser Agent, as applicable.  The Administrator shall promptly notify each Purchaser Agent any time that the Purchasers and/or Purchaser Agents, as the case may be, have instructed the Administrator to act or refrain from acting pursuant hereto.
(b)    The Administrator may execute any of its duties through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties.  The Administrator shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.
(c)    None of the Administrator and the Purchaser Agent, nor any of their respective  directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted (i) with the consent or at the direction of the Majority Purchaser Agents (or, in the case of any Purchaser Agent, the Purchasers within such Purchaser Agent’s Purchaser Group that have a majority of the aggregate Commitments of such Purchaser Group) or (ii) in the absence of such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.  The Administrator shall not be responsible to any Purchaser, Purchaser Agent or other Person for (i) any recitals, representations, warranties or other statements made by the Seller, any Sub-Servicer, the Servicer, Owens Corning, any Originator or any of their Affiliates, (ii) the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of any Transaction Document, (iii) any failure of the Seller, any Sub-Servicer, the Servicer, Owens Corning, any Originator or any of their Affiliates to perform any obligation hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party (or under any Contract), or (iv) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Exhibit II.  The Administrator shall not have any obligation to any Purchaser Agent or Purchaser to ascertain or inquire about the observance or performance of any agreement contained in any Transaction Document or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Seller, the Servicer, any Originator or any of their respective Affiliates.

Each of the Seller and the Purchasers expressly recognizes and agrees that the Administrator may be listed as the assignee or secured party of record on the various UCC filings required to be made hereunder in order to perfect the transfer of the Purchased Interest from the Seller to the Purchasers, that such listing shall be for administrative convenience only in creating a record or nominee owner to take certain actions hereunder on behalf of the Purchasers and that such listing will not affect in any way the status of the Purchasers as the beneficial owners of the Purchased Interest.  In addition, such listing shall impose no duties on the Administrator other than those expressly and specifically undertaken in accordance with this Section 4.9.
Section 4.10    Agent’s Reliance, Etc.
None of the Administrator and the Purchaser Agents, nor any of their respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it as Administrator or as Purchaser Agent, as the case may be, under or in connection with this Agreement except for such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct.  Each of the Administrator and each Purchaser Agent:  (i) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Seller), independent public accountants and other experts selected by the Administrator 
    42

Section 4.11    Administrator and Affiliates.
The Administrator and its Affiliates may generally engage in any kind of business with the Seller, any Originator, Owens Corning, any Sub-Servicer or the Servicer, any of their respective Affiliates and any Person who may do business with or own securities of the Seller, any Originator, Owens Corning, any Sub-Servicer or the Servicer or any of their respective Affiliates, all as if it were not the Administrator hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to any Purchaser Agent, or Purchaser.
Section 4.12    Notice of Termination Events.
Neither the Administrator nor any Purchaser Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event unless it has received notice from, in the case of the Administrator, any Purchaser Agent, any Purchaser, the Servicer or the Seller and, in the case of any Purchaser Agent, the Administrator, any other Purchaser Agent, any Purchaser, the Servicer or the Seller, in each case stating that a Termination Event or an Unmatured Termination Event has occurred hereunder and describing such Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event.

In the event that a Purchaser Agent receives such a notice, it shall promptly give notice thereof to the Administrator (unless such Purchaser Agent first received notice of such Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event from the Administrator) and to each of its related Purchasers.  The Administrator shall take such action concerning a Termination Event or an Unmatured Termination Event as may be directed by the Majority Purchaser Agents (unless such action otherwise requires the consent of the required Purchasers, all Purchaser Agents or all LC Banks), but until the Administrator receives such directions, the Administrator may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, as the Administrator deems advisable and in the best interests of the Purchasers and Purchaser Agents.

Each Purchaser and Purchaser Agent represents and warrants to the Administrator and such Purchaser’s Purchaser Agent, in the case of such Purchaser, and Administrator, in the case of such Purchaser Agent, that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrator, any LC Bank, any Purchaser Agent or any Purchaser and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made and will continue to make its own appraisal of any investigation into the business, operations, property, prospects, financial and other conditions and creditworthiness of the Seller, Owens Corning, the Servicer or the Originators, and made its own evaluation and decision to enter into this Agreement.

With respect to the acquisition of the Eligible Receivables pursuant to this Agreement, each of the Purchaser Agents and the Administrator shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any Purchaser and may exercise the same as though it were not such an agent, and the terms “Purchaser” and “Purchasers” shall include, to the extent applicable, each of the Purchaser Agents and the Administrator in their individual capacities.
Section 4.14    Indemnification.
Each Related Committed Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Administrator and its officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents and each LC Bank (to the extent not reimbursed by the Seller, the Servicer or any Originator and without limiting the obligation of the Seller, the Servicer, or any Originator to do so), ratably according to its Pro Rata Share, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, settlements, costs, expenses and, or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, in connection with any investigative or threatened proceeding, whether or not the Administrator, such LC Bank or such Person shall be designated a party thereto) that may at any time be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrator, such LC Bank or such Person as a result of, or related to, any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents or the execution, delivery or performance of the Transaction Documents or any other document furnished in connection therewith; provided, however, that no Related Committed Purchaser shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, or disbursements resulting from the Administrator’s or any LC Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

Section 4.17    LIBOR Notification.  
Section 1.23 of this Agreement provides a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest in the event that LMIR is no longer available or in certain other circumstances.

Section 4.18    Erroneous Payment.
(a)    Each Purchaser hereby agrees that (i) if the Administrator notifies such Purchaser that the Administrator has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Purchaser from the Administrator or any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Purchaser (whether or not known to such Purchaser (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise); individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Purchaser shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrator the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Purchaser to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrator in same day funds at the greater of the Overnight Bank Funding Rate and a rate determined by the Administrator in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect and (ii) such Purchaser shall not assert any right or claim to the Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrator for the return of any Erroneous Payments received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine. A notice of the Administrator to any Purchaser under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
(b)    Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Purchaser hereby further agrees that if it receives an Erroneous Payment from the Administrator (or any of its Affiliates) (i) that is in an amount different than (other than a de minimis difference), or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment sent by the Administrator (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Erroneous Payment (an “Erroneous Payment Notice”), or (ii) that was not preceded or accompanied by an Erroneous Payment Notice, it shall be on notice that, in each such case, an error has been made with respect to such Erroneous Payment.  Each Purchaser further agrees that, in each such case, or if it otherwise becomes aware an Erroneous Payment (or 
    46
740811803 17540157

portion thereof) may have been sent in error, such Purchaser shall promptly notify the Administrator of such occurrence and, upon demand from the Administrator, it shall promptly, but in no event later than one (1) Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrator the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) that was received by such Purchaser to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrator in same day funds at the greater of the Overnight Bank Funding Rate and a rate determined by the Administrator in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect.  
(c)    In the event an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Purchaser that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrator shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Purchaser with respect to such amount.  An Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any obligations owed by the Seller, any Originator, the Performance Guarantor or the Servicer except in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrator from the Seller, any Originator, the Performance Guarantor or the Servicer for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.
(d)    Each party’s obligations under this Section 4.18 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrator or any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Purchaser, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Seller’s obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Transaction Document.

    47
740811803 17540157

written consent of such Person affected thereby.  Each such amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given.  No failure on the part of any Purchaser Agent, any Purchaser or the Administrator to exercise, and no delay in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.
Section 5.2    Notices, Etc.
All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall, unless otherwise stated herein, be in writing (including facsimile or e-mail communication) and shall be personally delivered or sent by facsimile or e-mail, or by overnight mail, to the intended party at the mailing address, e-mail address or facsimile number of such party set forth under its name on the signature pages hereof (or in any other document or agreement pursuant to which it is or became a party hereto), or at such other address, e-mail address or facsimile number as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other parties hereto.

Section 5.3    Successors and Assigns; Assignability; Participations.
(a)    Successors and Assigns.  Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include 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. Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.1(d), neither the Seller nor the Servicer may assign or transfer any of its rights or delegate any of its duties hereunder or under any Transaction Document without the prior written consent of the Administrator, each Purchaser Agent and each LC Bank. 
(b)    Participations.  (i) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, any Purchaser may sell to one or more Persons (each a “Participant”) participating interests in the interests of such Purchaser hereunder; provided, that no Purchaser shall grant any participation under which the Participant shall have rights to approve any amendment to or waiver of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.  Such Purchaser shall remain solely responsible for performing its obligations hereunder, and the Seller, the Servicer, each Purchaser Agent and the Administrator shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Purchaser in connection with such Purchaser’s rights and obligations hereunder.  A Purchaser shall not agree with a Participant to restrict such Purchaser’s right to agree to any amendment, waiver or modification hereto, except amendments, waivers or modifications that require the consent of all Purchasers.  (ii) Notwithstanding anything contained in paragraph (a) or clause (i) of paragraph (b) of this Section 5.3, each of the LC Banks may sell participations in all or any part of any Funded Purchase made by such LC Bank to another bank or other entity so long as (i) no such grant of a participation shall, without the consent of the Seller, require the Seller to file a registration statement with the SEC, (ii) no holder of any such participation shall be entitled to require such LC Bank to take or omit to take any action hereunder except that such LC Bank may agree with such participant that, without such Participant’s consent, such LC Bank will not consent to an amendment, 
    48
740811803 17540157

modification or waiver that requires the consent of all LC Banks and (iii) the Seller and the Servicer shall continue to deal solely and directly with such LC Bank in connection with such LC Bank’s rights and obligations hereunder.  Any such Participant shall not have any rights hereunder or under the Transaction Documents.  Each Purchaser that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Seller, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Capital or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Purchaser shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Capital, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under any this Agreement) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Capital, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Purchaser shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrator (in its capacity as Administrator) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(c)    Assignments by Related Committed Purchasers.  Any Related Committed Purchaser may assign to one or more Persons (each a “Purchasing Related Committed Purchaser”), acceptable to each of the Administrator, each LC Bank and the related Purchaser Agent, in each such Person’s sole discretion, its rights and obligations herein (including its Commitment) in whole or in part, pursuant to a supplement hereto, substantially in the form of Annex G with any changes as have been approved by the parties thereto (each, a “Transfer Supplement”), executed by each such Purchasing Related Committed Purchaser, such selling Related Committed Purchaser, such related Purchaser Agent and the Administrator and with the consent of the Seller (provided, that the consent of the Seller shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and that no such consent shall be required if (i) a Termination Event has occurred and is continuing or (ii) such assignment is made by any Related Committed Purchaser to (A) the Administrator, (B) any other Related Committed Purchaser, (C) any Affiliate of the Administrator or any Related Committed Purchaser, (D) any commercial paper conduit or similar financing vehicle sponsored or administered by such Purchaser and for whom such Purchaser acts as a program support provider or through which (directly or indirectly) such Purchaser does or may fund Purchases hereunder, (E) any Liquidity Provider, (F) any Program Support Provider or (G) any Person that (1) is in the business of issuing commercial paper notes and (2) is associated with or administered by the Administrator or such Related Committed Purchaser or  any Affiliate of the Administrator or such Related Committed Purchaser).  Upon (i) the execution of the Transfer Supplement by the required parties, (ii) delivery of an executed copy thereof to the Seller, the Servicer, such related Purchaser Agent and the Administrator and (iii) payment by the Purchasing Related Committed Purchaser to the selling Related Committed Purchaser of the agreed purchase price, if any, such selling Related Committed Purchaser shall be released from its obligations hereunder to the extent of such assignment and such Purchasing Related Committed Purchaser shall for all purposes be a Related Committed Purchaser party hereto and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Related Committed Purchaser hereunder to the same extent as if it were an original party hereto.  The amount of the Commitment of the selling 
    49
740811803 17540157

Related Committed Purchaser allocable to such Purchasing Related Committed Purchaser shall be equal to the amount of the Commitment of the selling Related Committed Purchaser transferred regardless of the purchase price, if any, paid therefor.  The Transfer Supplement shall be an amendment hereof only to the extent necessary to reflect the addition of such Purchasing Related Committed Purchaser as a “Related Committed Purchaser” and any resulting adjustment of the selling Related Committed Purchaser’s Commitment.
(d)    Assignments to Liquidity Providers and other Program Support Providers.  Any Conduit Purchaser may at any time grant to one or more of its Liquidity Providers or other Program Support Providers participating interests in its portion of the Purchased Interest.  In the event of any such grant by such Conduit Purchaser of a participating interest to a Liquidity Provider or other Program Support Provider, such Conduit Purchaser shall remain responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder.  The Seller agrees that each Liquidity Provider and Program Support Provider shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 1.7 and 1.8.
(e)    Other Assignment by Conduit Purchasers.  Each party hereto agrees and consents (i) to any Conduit Purchaser’s assignment, participation, grant of security interests in or other transfers of any portion of, or any of its beneficial interest in, the Purchased Interest (or 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 Purchaser of all of its rights and obligations hereunder to any Liquidity Provider or Related Committed Purchaser for such Conduit  Purchaser or any other Person; provided, that such Conduit Purchaser may not, without the prior consent of its Related Committed Purchasers and, so long as no Termination Event is continuing, the Seller (such consent not to be unreasonably withhold, delayed or conditioned), make any such assignment 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 Purchaser Agent the Purchaser Agent of the assigning Conduit Purchaser and (iii) issues commercial paper or other Notes with credit ratings substantially comparable to the ratings of the assigning Conduit Purchaser or (y) is a Related Committed Purchaser or Liquidity Provider for such Conduit Purchaser.  Any assigning Conduit Purchaser shall deliver to any assignee a Transfer Supplement with any changes as have been approved by the parties thereto, duly executed by such Conduit Purchaser, assigning any portion of its interest in the Purchased Interest to its assignee.  Such Conduit Purchaser 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 Purchased Interest and to enable the assignee to exercise or enforce any rights of such Conduit Purchaser hereunder.  Upon the assignment of any portion of its interest in the Purchased Interest, the assignee shall have all of the rights hereunder with respect to such interest (except that the Discount therefor shall thereafter accrue at the rate, determined with respect to the assigning Conduit Purchaser unless the Seller, the related Purchaser Agent and the assignee shall have agreed upon a different Discount).
(f)    Certain Pledges.  Without limiting the right of any Purchaser to sell or grant interests, security interests or participations to any Person as otherwise described in this Article V, above, any Purchaser may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure its obligations as a Purchaser hereunder, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank;  provided that no such 
    50
740811803 17540157

pledge or assignment  shall release such Purchaser from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledge or assignee for such Purchaser as a party hereto.

(i)    Disclosure; Notice.  Each assignor may, in connection with an assignment permitted hereunder, disclose to the applicable assignee (that shall have agreed to be bound by Section 5.6) any information relating to the Servicer, the Seller or the Pool Receivables furnished to such assignor by or on behalf of the Servicer, the Seller, any Purchaser, any Purchaser Agent or the Administrator.  Such assignor shall give prior written notice to Seller of any assignment of such assignor’s rights and obligations (including ownership of the Purchased Interest) to any Person other than a Program Support Provider.

Section 5.5    No Proceedings; Limitation on Payments.
(a)    Each of the Seller, the Servicer, the Administrator, the LC Banks, the Purchaser Agents and the Purchasers and each assignee of the Purchased Interest or any interest therein, and each Person that enters into a commitment to purchase the Purchased Interest or interests therein, hereby covenants and agrees that it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, any Conduit Purchaser any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding, or other proceeding under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and one day after the latest maturing Note issued by such Conduit Purchaser is paid in full.

3.    Representations, Warranties and Agreements Relating to the Security Interest.  The Seller hereby makes the following representations, warranties and agreements with respect to the Receivables and Related Security:
(a)    The Receivables.
(i)    Creation.  This Agreement creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in the Receivables included in the Receivables Pool in favor of the Administrator (for the benefit of the Purchasers), which security interest is prior to all other Adverse Claims other than any Permitted Liens, and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and purchasers from the Seller.
(ii)    Nature of Receivables.  The Eligible Receivables included in the Receivables Pool constitute either “accounts”, “general intangibles” or “tangible chattel paper” within the meaning of the applicable UCC.  The Seller will cause to be delivered to the Administrator each promissory note or other instrument that from time to time evidences a Pool Receivable promptly (but in any event within ten Business Days) following the issuance of such promissory note or other instrument, but solely to the extent such promissory notes or other instruments exceed $500,000 in the aggregate.
(iii)    Ownership of Receivables.  The Seller owns and has good and marketable title to the Receivables included in the Receivables Pool and Related Security free and clear of any Adverse Claim other than Permitted Liens.
(iv)    Perfection and Related Security.  The Seller will cause (and will cause each Originator), within ten days after the Closing Date, the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect the sale of the Receivables and Related Security from such Originator to the Seller pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement, and the sale and security interest therein from the Seller to the Administrator under this Agreement.
(b)    The Lock-Box Accounts.
(i)    Nature of Lock-Box Accounts.  Each Lock-Box Account constitutes a “deposit account” within the meaning of the applicable UCC.
    III-5
740811803 17540157

(ii)    Ownership.  Each Lock-Box Account is in the name of the Seller, and the Seller owns and has good and marketable title to the Lock-Box Accounts free and clear of any Adverse Claim other than Permitted Liens.
(iii)    Perfection.  The Seller has delivered to the Administrator a fully executed Lock-Box Agreement relating to each Lock-Box Account, pursuant to which each applicable Lock-Box Bank has agreed, following the occurrence and continuation of a Termination Event, to comply with all instructions originated by the Administrator (on behalf of the Purchasers) directing the disposition of funds in such Lock-Box Account without further consent by the Seller or the Servicer.
(c)    Priority.
(i)    Other than the transfer of the Receivables to the Seller under the Purchase and Sale Agreement, and by the Seller under this Agreement and/or the security interest granted to the Administrator pursuant to this Agreement, neither the Seller nor any Originator has pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the Receivables transferred or purported to be transferred under the Transaction Documents, the Lock-Box Accounts or any subaccount thereof.  Neither the Seller, nor any Originator has authorized the filing of, or is aware of any financing statements against any of the Seller or such Originator that include a description of Receivables transferred or purported to be transferred under the Transaction Documents, the Lock-Box Accounts or any subaccount thereof, other than any financing statement (i) relating to the sale thereof by such Originator to the Seller under the Purchase and Sale Agreement, or (ii) relating to the security interest granted to the Administrator under this Agreement.
(ii)    There are no judgment, ERISA or tax lien filings against either the Seller or the Servicer.

(d)    Survival of Supplemental Representations.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, the representations contained in this Section shall be continuing, and remain in full force and effect until such time as the Purchased Interest and all other obligations under this Agreement have been finally and fully paid and performed.
(e)    Servicer to Maintain Perfection and Priority.  In order to evidence the interests of the Administrator under this Agreement, the Servicer shall, from time to time take such action, or execute and deliver such instruments as may be necessary (including, without limitation, such actions as are reasonably requested by the Administrator) to maintain and perfect, as a first-priority interest, the Administrator’s security interest in the Receivables, Related Security and Collections.  The Servicer shall, from time to time and within the time limits established by law, prepare and present to the Administrator for the Administrator’s authorization and approval, all financing statements, amendments, continuations or initial financing statements in lieu of a continuation statement, or other filings necessary to continue, maintain and perfect the Administrator’s security interest as a first-priority interest.  The Administrator’s approval of such 
    III-6
740811803 17540157

filings shall authorize the Servicer to file such financing statements under the UCC without the signature of the Seller, any Originator or the Administrator where allowed by applicable law.  Notwithstanding anything else in the Transaction Documents to the contrary, the Servicer shall not have any authority to file a termination, partial termination, release, partial release, or any amendment that deletes the name of a debtor or excludes collateral of any such financing statements filed in connection with the Transaction Documents, without the prior written consent of the Administrator.

Except as specifically set forth herein, none of the Seller, the Servicer, the Performance Guarantor, the Administrator, the Purchasers or any other Affected Person shall have any obligations under this Agreement or any other Affected Person with respect to the tranching of the Capital made by any Tranched Capital Purchaser into Class A interests and Class B interests or any other matter related thereto; provided, that, in no event shall the obligations of the Seller under the Transaction Documents be increased in any respect as a result thereof.  A Tranched Capital Purchaser’s (i) Class A interest shall initially consist of 85% of the Capital purchased by it hereunder and (ii) Class B interest shall initially consist of 15% of the Capital purchased by it hereunder; provided, that, any Tranched Capital Purchaser may upon notice to its Purchaser Agent modify the percentages of its Capital constituting Class A interests and Class B interests, respectively, so long as the respective percentages equal 100% of such Tranched Capital Purchaser’s Capital.
The Administrator, Servicer and the Seller acknowledge that (i) all payments of the portion of Capital owing to any Tranched Capital Purchaser on each Settlement Date in respect of the Capital purchased by such Tranched Capital Purchaser hereunder shall be deemed to be allocated (x) first to such Tranched Capital Purchaser’s Class A interest, until the outstanding Capital allocated to the Class A interest is reduced to zero and (y) second to such Tranched Capital Purchaser’s Class B interest, until the Class B interest is reduced to zero, and (ii) all payments constituting Discount and Fees made to such Tranched Capital Purchaser’s on each Settlement Date in respect of the Capital purchased by it hereunder shall be deemed to be allocated to such Tranched Capital Purchaser’s Class A interest and such Tranched Capital Purchaser’s Class B interest, pro rata, based on the amount of outstanding Capital of such Tranched Capital Purchaser’s Class A interest and Class B interest on such Settlement Date.  It is understood and agreed that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) none of the Seller, the Servicer, the Performance Guarantor, the Administrator, the Purchasers or any other Affected Person shall be responsible for the calculation of any amounts due to any Tranched Capital Purchaser’s Class A interest or Class B interest, respectively, or the outstanding amount of any Tranched Capital Purchaser’s Class A interest or Class B interest and such amounts shall not appear on any Information Package or other report provided by the Administrator, the Servicer or the Seller and (ii) the Administrator shall send one combined payment to the applicable Purchaser Agent for any Tranched Capital Purchaser(s) representing amounts due to the Purchasers in such Purchaser Group on the related Settlement Date to the extent provided for in, and in accordance with, this Agreement.
