 ARTICLE II 
 AMOUNT AND TERMS OF COMMITMENTS 
 SECTION 2.1 Purchases. 
 (a) On and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the initial Committed Purchaser agrees to purchase the Class A Initial Note
Principal Balance for a purchase price equal to the Class A Initial Note Principal Balance. 
 (b) On and subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement and prior to the earlier to occur of its Purchase Termination Date and the Termination Date, (i) each CP Conduit which is not a Committed Purchaser may purchase its Purchaser Percentage of any Class A Note
Principal Balance Increase offered for purchase pursuant to Section 4.12 of the Indenture Supplement, and (ii) each Committed Purchaser (if any), severally, agrees to purchase its Purchaser Percentage of the Class A Note Principal
Balance Increase so offered for purchase, in each case for a purchase price equal to the Class A Note Principal Balance Increase so purchased. 
 (c) The purchase of the Class A Initial Note Principal Balance hereunder shall be made on the Closing Date. Each purchase of any Class A Note Principal Balance Increase hereunder on the applicable Increase Date shall be in
accordance with the provisions of Section 4.12 of the Indenture Supplement upon delivery of an Increase Notice by the Transferor on behalf of the Issuer to the Administrative Agent received at least two Business Days prior to the applicable
Increase Date (or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the Administrative Agent). Each Increase Notice shall be irrevocable. The Administrative Agent shall promptly forward a copy of each Increase Notice received by it to each Agent and each
Class A Purchaser. 
 (d) Each CP Conduit which is not a Committed Purchaser shall notify the Agent for its Purchaser Group by 10:00
a.m., New York City time, on the applicable Purchase Date whether it has elected to make the purchase offered to it pursuant to subsection 2.1(b) of this Agreement. In the event that a CP Conduit shall not have timely provided such notice, such CP
Conduit shall be deemed to have elected not to make such purchase. Such Agent shall notify each Committed Purchaser for such CP Conduit on or prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the applicable Purchase Date if such CP Conduit has not elected
to purchase its entire Purchaser Percentage of the Class A Note Principal Balance Increase, which notice shall specify (i) the identity of such CP Conduit, (ii) the portion of the Class A Note Principal Balance Increase which
such CP Conduit has not elected to purchase as provided above, and (iii) the respective Liquidity Percentages of such Committed Purchasers on such Purchase Date (as determined by such Agent in good faith; for purposes of such determination,
such Agent shall be entitled to rely conclusively on the most recent information provided by such CP Conduit or its agent or by the agent for its Support Parties). Subject to receiving such notice and to the satisfaction of the applicable conditions
set forth in Article 3 hereof, each of such CP Conduit’s Committed Purchasers shall make a purchase of Class A Notes on the applicable Purchase Date in an amount 
  

 13 

 equal to its Liquidity Percentage of the portion of the Class A Note Principal Balance Increase which such CP
Conduit has not elected to purchase, for a purchase price equal to the Class A Note Principal Balance Increase so purchased. 
 (e) Each
Class A Purchaser’s purchase price payable pursuant to subsection 2.1(a), 2.1(b) or 2.1(d) of this Agreement shall be made available to the Agent for its Purchaser Group, subject to the fulfilment of the applicable conditions set forth in
Article 3 hereof, at or prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the applicable Purchase Date, by deposit of immediately available funds to an account of such Agent specified in subsection 7.3(b) of this Agreement. Such Agent shall promptly notify
the Issuer in the event that any Class A Purchaser either fails to make such funds available to such Agent before such time or notifies such Agent that it will not make such funds available to such Agent before such time. Subject to
(i) such Agent’s receipt of such funds and (ii) the fulfilment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article 3 hereof, as determined by such Agent, such Agent will not later than 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on such Purchase
Date make such funds available, in the same type of funds received, by wire transfer thereof to the account of Issuer in the United States specified in the applicable Increase Notice or, in the case of the purchase on the Closing Date, specified in
writing by the Issuer to such Agent not later than the Business Day prior to the Closing Date. 
 (f) In the event that notwithstanding the
fulfilment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article 3 hereof with respect to a purchase, a CP Conduit which is not a Committed Purchaser elected to make a purchase on a Purchase Date but failed to make its purchase price available to the
Agent for its Purchaser Group when required by subsection 2.1(e) of this Agreement, such CP Conduit shall be deemed to have rescinded its election to make such purchase, and neither the Issuer, the Transferor nor any other party shall have any claim
against such CP Conduit by reason of its failure to timely make such purchase. In any such case, such Agent shall give notice of such failure not later than 2:30 p.m., New York City time, on the Purchase Date to each Committed Purchaser for such CP
Conduit and to the Issuer, which notice shall specify (i) the identity of such CP Conduit, (ii) the amount of the purchase which it had elected but failed to make and (iii) the respective Liquidity Percentages of such Committed
Purchasers on such Purchase Date (as determined by such Agent in good faith; for purposes of such determination, such Agent shall be entitled to rely conclusively on the most recent information provided by such CP Conduit or its agent or by the
agent for its Support Parties). Subject to receiving such notice, each of such CP Conduit’s Committed Purchasers shall purchase a portion of the Class A Note Principal Balance in an amount equal to its Liquidity Percentage of the amount
described in clause (ii) above at or before 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on such Purchase Date and otherwise in accordance with subsection 2.1(d) of this Agreement. Subject to such Agent’s receipt of such funds, such Agent will not later
than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on such Purchase Date make such funds available, in the same type of funds received, by wire transfer thereof to the account of the Issuer described in subsection 2.1(e) of this Agreement, which payment shall be
deemed to be timely for purposes of Section 4.12 of the Indenture Supplement. 
 (g) In no event shall a Committed Purchaser be required
on any date to purchase a Class A Note Principal Balance Increase which would result in its Percentage Interest of the Class A Note Principal Balance, determined after giving effect to such purchase, exceeding its Commitment. In no event
may any Class A Note Principal Balance Increase be offered for purchase hereunder or under Section 4.12 of the Indenture Supplement, nor shall any Class A 
  

 14 

 Purchaser be obligated to purchase any Class A Note Principal Balance Increase, to the extent that, after giving
effect to such Class A Note Principal Balance Increase, the Class A Note Principal Balance would exceed the Class A Facility Limit. 
 SECTION 2.2 Reductions and Extensions of Commitments. 
 (a) At any time the Issuer may, upon at least two Business Days’
prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, reduce the Total Commitment. Each partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $1,000,000 or integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof (or such other amount requested by the Issuer to
which the Administrative Agent consents). Reductions of the aggregate Commitments pursuant to this subsection 2.2(a) of this Agreement shall be allocated to the Commitment of each Committed Purchaser and the Maximum Purchase Amount of each CP
Conduit, pro rata based on the Purchaser Percentage represented by such Commitment or Maximum Purchase. The Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy of any such notice to each Agent and each Class A Purchaser. 
 (b) On the Purchase Termination Date for a Committed Purchaser, the Commitment of such Class A Purchaser shall be automatically reduced to zero. On
the Termination Date, the Commitment of all Class A Purchasers shall be automatically reduced to zero. 
 (c) So long as no Termination
Event has occurred and is continuing, no more than 90 and no less than 60 days prior to the applicable Commitment Termination Date, the Transferor may request, through the Administrative Agent, that each Committed Purchaser extends its Commitment
Termination Date for a 364-day period as herein provided, which decision will be made by each Committed Purchaser in its sole discretion. Upon receipt of any such request, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Agent thereof, which
shall notify each Committed Purchaser in its Purchaser Group thereof. At least 30 days prior to the applicable Commitment Termination Date (the “Election Period”), each Committed Purchaser shall notify the Agent for its Purchaser Group of
its willingness or refusal to so extend its Commitment Termination Date, and such Agent shall notify the Transferor and the Administrative Agent of such willingness or refusal by the Committed Purchasers not later than the Business Day following the
last day of the Election Period. No Committed Purchaser may consent to an extension of its Commitment Termination Date without the consent of each CP Conduit, if any, for which it acts as a Committed Purchaser. Any Committed Purchaser which notifies
the applicable Agent of its refusal to extend or which does not expressly notify such Agent that it is willing to extend its Commitment Termination Date during the applicable Election Period shall be deemed to be (x) a Nonextending Class A
Purchaser after the Commitment Termination Date then in effect (such occurrence, unless such Nonextending Class A Purchaser is replaced pursuant to subsection 2.2(d) of this Agreement or unless the Termination Date shall have occurred, a
“Partial Expiration Event”) and (y) a “Dissenting Purchaser” from the date of its refusal notice or the end of the applicable Election Period. If (i) one or more Committed Purchasers have agreed to extend the Commitment
Termination Date, and (ii) at the end of the applicable Election Period, no Termination Event shall have occurred, the Commitment Termination Date then in effect for each such Committed Purchaser shall be extended to the date which is 364 days
following the first day of the Election Period or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next preceding Business Day; provided that if not all Committed Purchasers have agreed to such extension, the Transferor may elect, by notice to the
Administrative Agent, the Issuer and each Agent delivered not later than five Business Days prior to the end of the Election Period, not to have such extension become effective. 
  

 15 

 (d) Within two Business Days following the end of an Election Period, the Agent for each Purchaser Group
shall notify each other Class A Purchaser in such Purchaser Group, the Administrative Agent, the Issuer, the Transferor and the Servicer of the identity of any Dissenting Purchaser and the amount of its Commitment. Such Agent, the Issuer, the
Transferor and, if the Dissenting Purchaser is a Committed Purchaser, the affected CP Conduit may (but shall not be required to) request one or more other Class A Purchasers in such Purchaser Group, with the consent of the Agent (which shall
not be unreasonably withheld) and, if the Dissenting Purchaser is a Committed Purchaser, the affected CP Conduit in its sole discretion, or seek another financial institution reasonably acceptable to such Agent and, if the Dissenting Purchaser is a
Committed Purchaser acceptable to the affected CP Conduit in its sole discretion, to acquire all or a portion of the Commitment of the Dissenting Purchaser and all amounts payable to it hereunder and under the Indenture and the Indenture Supplement
in accordance with Section 6.1 of this Agreement. Each Dissenting Purchaser hereby agrees to assign all or a portion of its Commitment and the amounts payable to it hereunder and under the Indenture and the Indenture Supplement to a
replacement investor identified by the Agent for its Purchaser Group in accordance with the preceding sentence, subject to ratable payment of such Dissenting Purchaser’s Percentage Interest of the Class A Note Principal Balance, together
with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and a ratable portion of all fees and other amounts due to it hereunder. 
 SECTION 2.3
Interest, Fees, Expenses, Payments, Etc. 
 (a) Except as otherwise provided in subsection 2.3(b) of this Agreement, each Tranche of
each CP Conduit’s Percentage Interest of the Covered Portion of the Class A Note Principal Balance shall bear interest for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the sum of such CP Conduit’s Commercial Paper Rate applicable
to such Tranche plus the applicable Class A Program Fee Rate. Each CP Conduit’s commercial paper tranches will be selected by such CP Conduit or its administrator, after consultation with the Transferor, to the extent reasonably
practicable. Each Committed Purchaser’s (other than a CP Conduit’s) Percentage Interest of the Covered Portion of the Class A Note Principal Balance shall bear interest for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the sum of
the Alternative Rate plus the applicable Class A Program Fee Rate. Each Class A Purchaser’s Percentage Interest of the Risk Portion of the Class A Note Principal Balance shall bear interest for each Interest Period at a rate per
annum equal to the sum of the Risk Rate from time to time in effect plus the applicable Class A Program Fee Rate. 
 (b) If and to the
extent that, and only for so long as, a CP Conduit at any time determines in good faith that it is unable to raise or is precluded or prohibited from raising, or that it is not advisable to raise, funds through the issuance of Commercial Paper Notes
in the commercial paper market of the United States to finance its purchase or maintenance of its Percentage Interest of the Covered Portion of the Class A Note Principal Balance or any portion thereof (which determination may be based on any
allocation method employed in good faith by such CP Conduit), including by reason of market conditions or by reason of insufficient availability under any of its Support Facilities or the downgrading of any of its Support Parties, upon notice from
such CP Conduit to the Agent for its Purchaser Group, the Administrative Agent and the 
  

 16 

 Issuer, such portion of such CP Conduit’s Percentage Interest of the Class A Note Principal Balance shall bear
interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Alternative Rate plus the applicable Class A Program Fee Rate, rather than as otherwise determined pursuant to subsection 2.3(a) of this Agreement. 
 (c) The principal of the Class A Notes shall be paid as provided in the Indenture and the Indenture Supplement. Accrued and unpaid interest on each
Tranche of the Class A Note Principal Balance shall be due and payable on the last day of each Interest Period applicable to such Tranche and on any date on which the principal of such Tranche is paid or required to be paid hereunder or under
the Indenture and the Indenture Supplement (in respect of the portion of principal paid or required to be paid). Class A Monthly Interest for each Monthly Period (including the last Monthly Period) shall be due and payable on the Distribution
Date for such Monthly Period. In the case of Class A Notes held by an Agent as agent for members of its Purchaser Group, such Agent shall allocate to the Class A Owners in its Purchaser Group each payment in respect of the Class A
Notes received by such Agent in its capacity as Class A Noteholder as provided herein. Payments in reduction of the portion of the Class A Note Principal Balance evidenced by a Class A Note shall be allocated and applied to
Class A Owners of such Class A Note pro rata based on their respective Percentage Interests of the Class A Note Principal Balance, or in any such case in such other proportions as each affected Class A Purchaser may agree upon in
writing from time to time with such Agent and the Issuer; provided that from and after the occurrence of a Partial Expiration Event until the earlier to occur of (i) the Termination Date and (ii) the date on which (A) the aggregate
amount of payments in reduction of the Class A Note Principal Balance made after the related Partial Commitment Termination Date equals (B) the related Class A Mandatory Partial Amortization Amount, payments on a Class A Note in
reduction of the portion of the Class A Note Principal Balance evidenced by such Class A Note shall be allocated and applied to Nonextending Class A Owners of such Class A Note pro rata based on their respective Percentage
Interests of the Class A Note Principal Balance. Payments of interest in respect of the portion of the Class A Note Principal Balance evidenced by a Class A Note shall be allocated and applied to Class A Owners of such
Class A Note pro rata based upon the respective amounts of interest due and payable to them, determined as provided above in this Section 2.3. 
 (d) The Transferor agrees to pay on demand (i) to the Administrative Agent and the initial Class A Purchasers all reasonable costs and expenses in connection with the preparation, execution, and delivery of
this Agreement and the other documents to be delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, including the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel with respect thereto, (ii) to the Administrative Agent and each Agent and
Class A Purchaser all reasonable costs and expenses in connection with the any requested amendments of or waivers or consents under this Agreement or the Related Documents, including in each case the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses
of counsel with respect thereto, and (iii) if an Early Redemption Event, Event of Default or Servicer Default shall have occurred, to the Administrative Agent and each Agent and Class A Purchaser, on demand, all reasonable costs and
expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel), if any, in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement or any of the Related Documents, and the other documents delivered thereunder or in connection therewith (provided that if it
has been determined that any proceedings in connection with such enforcement were brought by the Administrative Agent, an Agent or a Class A Purchaser in bad faith or in a manner constituting wilful misconduct, then the Administrative

  

 17 

 Agent, such Agent or such Class A Purchaser, as applicable, shall reimburse the Issuer, CFC and/or the Servicer (as
applicable) for its or their costs (including reasonable fees and out of pocket expenses of counsel) in connection with any such proceedings). 
 (e) The Transferor agrees to pay on demand any and all stamp, transfer and other similar taxes (other than Taxes covered by Section 2.5 of this Agreement) and governmental fees payable in connection with the execution, delivery,
filing and recording of any of the Related Documents and each related Support Facility, and agrees to save each Class A Purchaser and Agent and the Administrative Agent harmless from and against any liabilities with respect to or resulting from
any delay in paying or any omission to pay such taxes and fees. 
 (f) Any interest, fees or other amounts due and payable hereunder (without
regard to any limitations set forth herein on the sources from which such amount may be paid) which are not paid on the due date thereof (including interest payable pursuant to this clause (f)) shall accrue interest (after as well as before
judgment) at the Risk Rate from time to time in effect from and including the due date thereof to but excluding the date such amount is actually paid. 
 (g) Interest calculated by reference to the Commercial Paper Rate or the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed. Interest calculated by reference to the
Prime Rate shall be calculated on the basis of a 365 or 366 day year, as applicable, for the actual days elapsed. Periodic fees or other periodic amounts payable hereunder shall be calculated, unless otherwise specified on Schedule I hereto, on the
basis of a 360-day year and for the actual days elapsed. 
 (h) All payments to be made hereunder or under the Indenture and the Indenture
Supplement, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 2:30 p.m., New York City time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent or the applicable
Agent, as the case may be, at its account specified in subsection 7.3(b) hereof, in United States dollars and in immediately available funds. Payments received by such Agent after 2:30 p.m., New York City time shall be deemed to have been made on
the next Business Day, unless otherwise agreed to by such Agent. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any payment due hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the payment date thereof shall be extended to
the next succeeding Business Day and interest shall accrue thereon at the applicable rate during such extension. To the extent that (i) the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Transferor or the Servicer makes a payment to the Administrative
Agent or an Agent or Class A Purchaser or (ii) the Administrative Agent or an Agent or Class A Purchaser receives or is deemed to have received any payment or proceeds for application to an obligation, which payment or proceeds or any
part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy or insolvency law, state or Federal law, common law, or for
equitable cause, then, to the extent such payment or proceeds are set aside, the obligation or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue in full force and effect, as if such payment or proceeds had not been received or
deemed received by the Administrative Agent or such Agent or Class A Purchaser, as the case may be. 
 (i) At or before 4:00 p.m., New
York City time, on each Note Rate Determination Date and on the third Business Day preceding the end of each Interest Period, each CP Conduit shall 
  

 18 

 notify the Agent for its Purchaser Group of (i) its Commercial Paper Rate, if applicable, for each Tranche in effect
for the related Monthly Period or Interest Period, as applicable, and (ii) if applicable, the date on which the Alternative Rate became applicable to its Percentage Interest of the Class A Note Principal Balance or a portion thereof
pursuant to subsection 2.3(b) of this Agreement. Such notification may be based on such CP Conduit’s good faith estimate of the Commercial Paper Rate if the actual rate is not then known to such CP Conduit, and in such case, such CP Conduit
shall notify such Agent at or before 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the following Note Rate Determination Date of the amount of any variation between interest payable to such CP Conduit for the preceding Monthly Period or Interest Period, as
applicable, based on such estimate and interest which should have been payable to such CP Conduit for such Monthly Period or Interest Period, as applicable, based on its final determination of the applicable Commercial Paper Rate. The amount of any
shortfall in interest based on such variation shall be included in the portion of Class A Monthly Interest payable to such CP Conduit on the following Distribution Date, and the amount of any overpayment of interest to such CP Conduit based on
such variation shall be credited, dollar for dollar, against the portion of Class A Monthly Interest otherwise payable to such CP Conduit for the following Monthly Period. Each determination by a CP Conduit of its applicable Commercial Paper
Rate pursuant to this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Class A Purchasers, each Agent, the Issuer, the Transferor, the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee in the absence of manifest error. 
 (j) On each Note Rate Determination Date, (i) the Agent for each Purchaser Group shall notify the Servicer and the Transferor, with respect to such
Purchaser Group, of the applicable Commercial Paper Rates and the Class A Program Fee Rate for the related Interest Period, and, if applicable, the dates on which the Alternative Rate was applicable to the Percentage Interest of the
Class A Note Principal Balance owed to any member of its Purchaser Group, and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall notify the Servicer and the Transferor of the Alternative Rate and the Risk Rate, if applicable, for the related Interest
Period. For such purposes, the Agents may rely conclusively on notices from CP Conduits as to the interest rate or rates from time to time applicable to their respective Percentage Interest of the Class A Note Principal Balance. Such
notification from an Agent may be based on such CP Conduit’s estimate of the Commercial Paper Rate as provided to such Agent pursuant to subsection 2.3(i) hereof, if the actual rate and amount is not then known to such Agent. In any such case,
such Agent shall notify the Servicer, the Transferor and the Indenture Trustee on or before the next succeeding Note Rate Determination Date of the amount of any variation between the estimated amount of interest payable on Class A Notes
accrued at the Commercial Paper Rate and the actual amount thereof for the preceding Interest Period. The amount of any shortfall in interest based on such variation shall be a positive “Estimated Interest Adjustment” for such Interest
Period, and the amount of any overpayment of interest based on such variation shall be a negative “Estimated Interest Adjustment” for such Interest Period. Any positive Estimated Interest Adjustment for a Interest Period shall be deemed
not due on the Distribution Date for such Interest Period, but shall be due on the next succeeding Distribution Date. An Estimated Interest Adjustment shall not bear interest, unless not paid when due as provided in the preceding sentence. Each
determination of the Commercial Paper Rate, the Alternative Rate, the Risk Rate and the Class A Program Fee Rate by the Administrative Agent or an Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the
Class A Purchasers, the Issuer, the Transferor, the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee in the absence of manifest error. 
  

 19 

 SECTION 2.4 Requirements of Law. 
 (a) In the event that any Class A Purchaser shall have reasonably determined that any Regulatory Change shall impose, modify or hold applicable any
reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, such
Class A Purchaser and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Class A Purchaser, by an amount which such Class A Purchaser deems to be material, of maintaining its Commitment or its interest in the
Class A Notes or to reduce any amount receivable in respect thereof, then, in any such case, after submission by such Class A Purchaser to the Agent for its Purchaser Group of a written request therefor and the submission by such Agent to
the Issuer, the Transferor and the Servicer of such written request therefor, the Issuer shall pay to such Agent for the account of such Class A Purchaser any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Class A Purchaser for such
increased cost or reduced amount receivable, to the extent not already reflected in the applicable interest rate, together with interest on any such unpaid amount from the Distribution Date following receipt by the Issuer of such request for
compensation under this subsection 2.4(a) of this Agreement, if such request is received by the Issuer at least five Business Days prior to the Determination Date related to such Distribution Date, and otherwise from the following Distribution Date,
until payment in full thereof (after as well as before judgment) at the Prime Rate in effect from time to time. 
 (b) In the event that any
Class A Purchaser shall have reasonably determined that any Regulatory Change regarding capital adequacy has the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Class A Purchaser’s capital or on the capital of any Person controlling
such Class A Purchaser as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or its maintenance of its Commitment or its interest in the Class A Notes to a level below that which such Class A Purchaser or such Person could have achieved but
for such Regulatory Change (taking into consideration such Class A Purchaser’s or such Person’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed in good faith by such Class A Purchaser or such Person to be material,
then, from time to time, after submission by such Class A Purchaser to the Agent for its Purchaser Group of a written request therefor and submission by such Agent to the Issuer, the Transferor and the Servicer of such written request therefor,
the Issuer shall pay to such Agent for the account of such Class A Purchaser such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Class A Purchaser or such Person, as applicable, for such reduction, together with interest on any such
unpaid amount from the Distribution Date following receipt by the Issuer of such request for compensation under this subsection 2.4(b), if such request is received by the Issuer at least five Business Days prior to the Determination Date related to
such Distribution Date, and otherwise from the following Distribution Date, until payment in full thereof (after as well as before judgment) at the Prime Rate in effect from time to time. Nothing in this subsection 2.4(b) shall be deemed to require
the Issuer to pay any amount to a Class A Purchaser to the extent such Class A Purchaser has been compensated therefor under another provision of this Agreement or to the extent such amount is already reflected in the applicable interest
rate. 
 (c) Each Class A Purchaser agrees that it shall use its reasonable efforts to reduce or eliminate any claim for compensation
pursuant to subsections 2.4(a) and 2.4(b) of this Agreement, including but not limited to designating a different Investing Office for its Class A Notes (or any interest therein) if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount

  

 20 

 of, any increased amounts referred to in subsection 2.4(a) or 2.4(b) hereof and will not, in the reasonable opinion of
such Class A Purchaser, be unlawful or otherwise disadvantageous to such Class A Purchaser or inconsistent with its policies or result in any unreimbursed cost or expense to such Class A Purchaser or in an increase in the aggregate
amount payable under subsections 2.4(a) and 2.4(b) hereof. 
 (d) Each Class A Purchaser claiming increased amounts described in
subsection 2.4(a) or 2.4(b) of this Agreement will furnish to the Agent for its Purchaser Group (together with its request for compensation) a certificate prepared in good faith setting forth the basis and the calculation of the amount (in
reasonable detail) of each request by such Class A Purchaser for any such increased amounts referred to in subsection 2.4(a) or 2.4(b) hereof. Any such certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Agent shall deliver a copy
thereof to the Issuer, the Transferor and the Servicer. Failure on the part of any Class A Purchaser to demand compensation for any amount pursuant to subsection 2.4(a) or 2.4(b) hereof with respect to any period shall not constitute a waiver
of such Class A Purchaser’s right to demand compensation with respect to such period; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.4, a Class A Purchaser shall not be compensated for any such
amount relating to any period ending more than six months prior to the date that such Class A Purchaser notifies the Issuer in writing thereof or for any amounts resulting from a change by any Class A Purchaser of its Investing Office.

 SECTION 2.5 Taxes. 
 (a) All payments made to the Class A Purchasers, the Agents or the Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the Indenture and the Indenture Supplement (including all amounts payable with respect to the Class A Notes) shall,
to the extent allowed by law, be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or
hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority (collectively, “Taxes”), excluding (i) income taxes (including branch profit taxes, minimum taxes and taxes computed under alternative methods,
at least one of which is based on or measured by net income), franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of income taxes), or any other taxes based on or measured by the net income of such Class A Purchaser, Participant, Agent or the Administrative Agent
(as the case may be) or the gross receipts or income of such Class A Purchaser, Participant, Agent or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be); (ii) any Taxes that would not have been imposed but for the failure of such Class A
Purchaser, Participant, Agent or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to provide and keep current (to the extent legally able) any certification or other documentation required to qualify for an exemption from, or reduced rate of, any such Taxes
or required by this Agreement to be furnished by such Class A Purchaser, Participant, Agent or the Administrative Agent, as applicable; and (iii) any Taxes imposed as a result of a change by any Class A Purchaser or Participant of its
Investing Office (other than changes mandated by this Agreement, including subsection 2.4(c) hereof, or required by law) (all such excluded taxes being hereinafter called “Excluded Taxes”). If, as a result of any change in law, treaty or
regulation or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental or regulatory agency or body charged with the administration or interpretation thereof, or the adoption of any law, treaty or regulation, any Taxes, other than
Excluded Taxes, are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to a Class A Purchaser or 
  

 21 

 Agent or the Administrative Agent hereunder or under the Indenture and the Indenture Supplement, then after submission by
any Class A Purchaser to the Agent for its Purchaser Group (in the case of an amount payable to a Class A Purchaser) and by any Agent or the Administrative Agent to the Issuer, the Transferor and the Servicer of a written request therefor,
the amounts so payable to such Class A Purchaser or Agent or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall be increased by the Issuer, and the Issuer shall pay to the applicable Agent for the account of such Class A Purchaser or for its
own account or to the Administrative Agent, as applicable, the amount of such increase to the extent necessary to yield to such Class A Purchaser or Agent or the Administrative Agent, as applicable (after payment of all such Taxes) interest or
any such other amounts payable hereunder or thereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement and the Indenture and the Indenture Supplement; provided, however, that the amounts so payable to such Class A Purchaser or Agent
or the Administrative Agent shall not be increased pursuant to this subsection 2.5(a) if such requirement to withhold results from the failure of such Person to comply with subsection 2.5(c) hereof; provided however, that the Issuer shall not be
required to pay any such additional amounts (or any related interest or penalties) to the extent arising from the result of and attributable to the failure of a Class A Purchaser, Participant or Agent or the Administrative Agent to file in a
timely manner any tax returns required to be filed by such Class A Purchaser, Participant or Agent or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by such Person will equal the full amount
such Person would have received had no such deduction or withholding been required. Whenever any Taxes are payable on or with respect to amounts distributed to a Class A Purchaser or Agent or the Administrative Agent, as promptly as possible
thereafter the Issuer shall send to the Agent, on behalf of such Class A Purchaser, or to such Agent or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, a certified copy of an original official receipt showing payment thereof. If the Issuer fails to
pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Agent, on behalf of itself or such Class A Purchaser, or to such Agent or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, the required receipts or other required
documentary evidence, the Issuer shall pay to such Agent on behalf of such Class A Purchaser or to such Agent or the Administrative Agent for its own account, as applicable, any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable
by such Class A Purchaser or Agent or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, as a result of any such failure. 
 (b) A Class A
Purchaser claiming increased amounts under subsection 2.5(a) hereof for Taxes paid or payable by such Class A Purchaser will furnish to the applicable Agent a certificate prepared in good faith setting forth the basis and amount of each request
by such Class A Purchaser for such Taxes, and such Agent shall deliver a copy thereof to the Issuer, the Transferor and the Servicer. An Agent or the Administrative Agent claiming increased amounts under subsection 2.5(a) hereof for its own
account for Taxes paid or payable by such Agent or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, will furnish to the Issuer, the Transferor and the Servicer a certificate prepared in good faith setting forth the basis and amount of each request by the
Agent or the Administrative Agent for such Taxes. Any such certificate of a Class A Purchaser or Agent or the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Failure on the part of any Class A Purchaser or Agent or the
Administrative Agent to demand additional amounts pursuant to subsection 2.5(a) of this Agreement with respect to any period shall not constitute a waiver of the right of such Class A Purchaser or Agent or the Administrative Agent, as the case
may be, to demand compensation with respect to such period. All such amounts shall be due and payable to such Agent on behalf of such Class A Purchaser or 
  

 22 

 to such Agent or the Administrative Agent for its own account, as the case may be, on the Distribution Date following
receipt by the Issuer of such certificate, if such certificate is received by the Issuer at least five Business Days prior to the Determination Date related to such Distribution Date and otherwise shall be due and payable on the following
Distribution Date (or, if earlier, on the Series [            ] Termination Date). 
 (c) Each Class A Purchaser and each Participant holding an interest in Class A Notes agrees that prior to the date on which the first interest or fee payment hereunder is due thereto, it will deliver to the
Issuer, the Transferor, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee, the applicable Agent and the Administrative Agent (i) if such Class A Purchaser or Participant is not incorporated under the laws of the United States or any State thereof, two
duly completed copies of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or, if the Transferor in its sole discretion consents, Form W-8BEN claiming treaty benefits, or in either case successor applicable forms required to evidence that the
Class A Purchaser or Participant is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement and with respect to the Class A Notes without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, (ii) a duly completed U.S.
Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or successor applicable or required forms , and (iii) such other forms and information as may be required to confirm the availability of any applicable exemption from United States federal, state or local
withholding taxes. Each Class A Purchaser or Participant holding an interest in Class A Notes also agrees to deliver to the Issuer, the Transferor, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee, the applicable Agent and the Administrative Agent two
further copies of such Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN and Form W-9, or such successor applicable forms or other manner of certification, as the case may be, on or before the date that any such form expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of
any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it hereunder, and such extensions or renewals thereof as may reasonably be requested by the Servicer, the Transferor, the Issuer, an Agent or the Administrative Agent,
unless in any such case, solely as a result of a change in treaty, law or regulation occurring prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required, the Class A Purchaser is no longer eligible to deliver the then-applicable
form set forth above and so advises the Servicer, the Issuer, the Transferor and the applicable Agent and the Administrative Agent. Each Class A Purchaser certifies, represents and warrants as of the Closing Date, each Assignee and each
Participant (in either case other than a Support Party) shall certify, represent and warrant as a condition of acquiring its Assignment or Participation as of the effective date of the Transfer Supplement to which it is a party or of such
Participation, as the case may be, and each Support Party shall certify, represent and warrant as of the effective date of its becoming a Support Party, that (x) it is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement and with respect to the
Class A Notes without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes and (y) it is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each of the Issuer,
the Transferor, the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to withhold any amount that it reasonably determines is required to be withheld pursuant to Section 1446 of the Code, and such amount shall be deemed to have been paid to
the Class A Purchaser, Assignee or Participant for all purposes of the Agreement. 
 SECTION 2.6 Indemnification. 
 (a) The Transferor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and each Agent and Class A Purchaser and any director, officer,
employee or agent thereof (each 
  

 23 

 such Person being an “Indemnitee”) from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or
expenses (including reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel) whatsoever (including claims under federal or state securities laws), which the Indemnitee may incur (or which may be claimed against the Indemnitee) by reason of or in
connection with (i) the execution and delivery of this Agreement or any Related Document or the Class A Notes or the assignment hereof to any Support Party, (ii) the offer and sale by or on behalf of the Issuer or the Transferor of
the Series [            ] Notes or (iii) the other transactions contemplated hereby, except (A) to the extent that any such claim, damage, loss, liability, cost or expense
shall be caused by the wilful misconduct or gross negligence of the Indemnitee in performing its obligations under this Agreement, (B) to the extent that any such claim, damage, loss, liability, cost or expense relates to Taxes or amounts
payable by the Issuer under Section 2.4 or 2.5 hereof, or (C) for recourse for the payment of principal of or interest on, or other amounts due in respect of, the Class A Notes as a result of nonpayment by Obligors on
the Accounts or the related Receivables. Subject to the limitations set forth above, but without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Transferor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and each Agent from and against
any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including at any time following the payment of the obligations under this
Agreement, including payment of the Class A Note Principal Balance) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent and such Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, or any documents contemplated by
or referred to herein or the transactions contemplated hereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent or any Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that the Transferor shall not be liable under
this sentence for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of the Administrative Agent or any Agent resulting from its own gross negligence
or wilful misconduct. Promptly after receipt by the Administrative Agent or an Agent or Class A Purchaser of notice of the commencement of any action, the Administrative Agent or such Agent or Class A Purchaser, as the case may be, will,
if a claim in respect thereof is to be made under this subsection 2.6(a), notify the Transferor in writing of the commencement thereof; provided, however, the omission to so notify the Transferor will not relieve the Transferor from any
liability which it may have to the Administrative Agent or such Agent or Class A Purchaser under this subsection 2.6(a) except to the extent the Transferor was actually prejudiced by the failure to give such notices promptly. 

Each Indemnitee shall use its good faith efforts to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any losses, expenses or claims for indemnification pursuant to this
Section 2.6(a); provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall obligate any Indemnitee to take any action that imposes on such Person any additional costs or legal or regulatory burdens which in such Person’s
reasonable opinion, would have an adverse effect on its business, operations or financial condition; provided, further, that for any breach of a representation or warranty with respect to a Receivable that results in the repurchase or
the reassignment of Receivables pursuant to Section 2.05 or 2.06 of the Transfer and Servicing Agreement, such repurchase or reassignment shall constitute the sole remedy for such breach. 
 (b) CompuCredit and any Successor Servicer, by accepting its appointment pursuant to the Transfer and Servicing Agreement, (i) shall agree to be
bound by the terms, covenants and 
  

 24 

 conditions contained herein applicable to the Servicer and to be subject to the duties and obligations of the Servicer
hereunder, (ii) as of the date of its acceptance, shall be deemed to have made with respect to itself only the representations and warranties made by the Servicer in subsections 4.1(a) through 4.1(h) hereof and (iii) shall
agree to indemnify and hold harmless any Indemnitee from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses (including the fees and expenses of counsel) whatsoever which such Indemnitee may incur (or which may be claimed
against such Indemnitee) by reason of the negligence or wilful misconduct of such Servicer in exercising its powers and carrying out its obligations under this Agreement, the Transfer and Servicing Agreement or any Related Document; provided,
however, that the Servicer shall not indemnify any such Indemnitee for any such loss, liability, expense, damage or injury suffered or sustained by reason of any action taken or omitted at the written request of any such Indemnitee;
provided, further, that the Servicer shall not indemnify any such Indemnitee for any such loss, liability, expense, damage or injury incurred with respect to any action taken by such Indemnitee constituting fraud, gross negligence,
breach of fiduciary duty or wilful misconduct, with respect to the uncollectibility of the Receivables or with respect to any federal, state or local income or franchise taxes (or any interest or penalties with respect thereto) required to be paid
by any such Indemnitee in connection herewith to any taxing authority; provided, further, that the Servicer shall not indemnify any such Indemnitee to the extent that such loss, liability, expense, damage or injury suffered or
sustained by such Indemnitee is duly solely to a breach by Servicer of one or more of its representations and warranties set forth in subsections 3.03(h), (i), (j) and (k) of the Transfer and Servicing Agreement and such breach results in
the assignment of the affected Receivables pursuant to Section 3.03 of the Transfer and Servicing Agreement. The Servicer shall not be liable for acts or omissions of any Successor Servicer. The Servicer shall not be liable under this section
for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of the Administrative Agent or any Agent resulting from its own gross negligence or wilful
misconduct. Promptly after receipt by the Administrative Agent or an Agent or Class A Purchaser of notice of the commencement of any action, the Administrative Agent or such Agent or Class A Purchaser, as the case may be, will, if a claim
in respect thereof is to be made under this subsection 2.6(b), notify the Servicer in writing of the commencement thereof; provided, however, the omission to so notify the Servicer will not relieve the Servicer from any liability which it may
have to the Administrative Agent or such Agent or Class A Purchaser under this subsection 2.6(b) except to the extent the Transferor was actually prejudiced by the failure to give such notices promptly. 
 Each Indemnitee shall use its good faith efforts to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any losses, expenses or claims for indemnification pursuant to this
Section 2.6(b); provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall obligate any Indemnitee to take any action that imposes on such Person any additional costs or legal or regulatory burdens which in such Person’s
reasonable opinion, would have an adverse effect on its business, operations or financial condition. 
 (c) In the event that for any reason,
(i) the basis for calculation of interest on any CP Conduit’s Percentage Interest of the Class A Note Principal Balance shall change from the Commercial Paper Rate to the Alternative Rate, (ii) any CP Conduit receives any
repayment of its share of the Class A Note Principal Balance, and the date of such change or of such repayment is not the maturity date for all Commercial Paper Notes allocated by such CP Conduit 
  

 25 

 to funding its purchase or maintenance of the affected portion of its Percentage Interest of the Class A Note
Principal Balance, or (iii) any Class A Purchaser receives any repayment of its share of the Class A Note Principal Balance on a date other than a Distribution Date or upon fewer than two Business Days’ prior (or, with respect to
amounts listed at the Alternative Rate based on the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate, two Business Days’) written notice, then in any such case the Issuer agrees to indemnify each affected Class A Purchaser against, and to promptly pay on demand
directly to such Class A Purchaser the amount equal to any loss or reasonable out-of-pocket expense suffered by such Class A Purchaser as a result of such change or such repayment, including, in the case of a CP Conduit, any loss, cost or
expense suffered by such CP Conduit by reason of its issuance of Commercial Paper Notes or its incurrence of other obligations reasonably allocated by such CP Conduit to its funding or the maintenance of its funding of its share of the Class A
Note Principal Balance, or, in the case of any Class A Purchaser, redeploying funds prepaid or repaid, in amounts which correspond to its share of the Class A Note Principal Balance. A statement setting forth in reasonable detail the
calculations of any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by a Class A Purchaser or Agent or by the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to the Issuer and the Servicer shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

under this Agreement and the Related Documents (each, a “Participation”), to any Permitted Transferee (each, a “Participant”); provided, however, that no Participation shall be granted to any Person

 Class A Notes and its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Related Documents pursuant to an agreement
substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B hereto (a “Transfer Supplement”), executed by such Assignee and the Class A Purchaser and delivered to the Agent for its Purchaser Group for its acceptance and
consent; provided, however, that (i) no such assignment or sale shall be effective unless and until the conditions to Transfer specified in this Agreement, including in subsection 6.1(c) hereof, shall have been satisfied,
(ii) no assignment or sale by a Committed Purchaser shall be effective without the consent of the CP Conduit in its Purchaser Group, (iii) no assignment or sale which results in the addition of a new Purchaser Group shall be effective
without the consent of the Administrative Agent, and (iv) in no event shall the consent of an Agent be required in the case of an assignment by a CP Conduit of its interest in the Class A Notes and its rights and obligations under this
Agreement and the Related Documents to any one or more of its Committed Purchasers in its Purchaser Group. From and after the effective date determined pursuant to such Transfer Supplement, (x) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto
and, to the extent provided in such Transfer Supplement, have the rights and obligations of a Class A Purchaser hereunder as set forth therein and (y) the transferor Class A Purchaser shall, to the extent provided in such Transfer
Supplement, be released from its Commitment and other obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that after giving effect to each such Assignment, the obligations released by any such Class A Purchaser shall have been
assumed by an Assignee or Assignees. Such Transfer Supplement shall be deemed to amend this Agreement to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of such Assignee and the resulting adjustment of Percentage Interests,
Purchaser Percentages or Liquidity Percentages arising from the Assignment. Upon its receipt and acceptance of a duly executed Transfer Supplement, the Agent for the applicable Purchaser Group (or, in the case of an Assignment by which a new
Purchaser Group is added to this Agreement, the Administrative Agent) shall on the effective date determined pursuant thereto give notice of such acceptance to the Issuer, the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee. 
 Upon instruction to register a transfer of a Class A Purchaser’s beneficial interest in the Class A Notes (or portion thereof) and
surrender for registration of transfer of such Class A Purchaser’s Class A Note(s) (if applicable) and delivery to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee of an Investment Letter, executed by the registered owner (and the beneficial
owner if it is a Person other than the registered owner), and receipt by the Indenture Trustee of a copy of the duly executed related Transfer Supplement and such other documents as may be required under this Agreement, such beneficial interest in
the Class A Notes (or portion thereof) shall be transferred in the records of the Indenture Trustee and the applicable Agent and, if requested by the Assignee, new Class A Notes shall be issued to the Assignee and, if applicable, the
transferor Class A Purchaser in amounts reflecting such Transfer as provided in the Indenture and the Indenture Supplement. Successive registrations of Transfers as aforesaid may be made from time to time as desired, and each such registration
of a transfer to a new registered owner shall be noted on the Note Register. 
 (f) Each Class A Purchaser may pledge its interest in
the Class A Notes to any Federal Reserve Bank as collateral in accordance with applicable law. 
 (g) Any Class A Purchaser shall
have the option to change its Investing Office, provided that such Class A Purchaser shall have prior to such change in office complied with the 
  

 37 

 provisions of subsection 2.5(c) hereof and provided further that such Class A Purchaser shall
not be entitled to any amounts otherwise payable under Section 2.4 or 2.5 hereof resulting solely from such change in office unless such change in office was mandated by applicable law or by such Class A Purchaser’s
compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. 
 (h) Each Affected Party shall be entitled to receive additional payments and
indemnification pursuant to Sections 2.4, 2.5 and 2.6 hereof as though it were a Class A Purchaser and such Section applied to its interest in or commitment to acquire an interest in the Class A Notes;
provided that such Affected Party shall not be entitled to additional payments pursuant to (i) Section 2.4 by reason of Regulatory Changes which occurred prior to the date it became an Affected Party or
(ii) Section 2.5 attributable to its failure to satisfy the requirements of subsection 2.5(c) as if it were a Class A Purchaser, and provided further, that unless such Affected Party has been consented to
by the Transferor, such Affected Party shall be entitled to receive additional amounts pursuant to Sections 2.4 or 2.5 only to the extent that its related CP Conduit would have been entitled to receive such amounts in the absence of
the commitment and Support Advances from such Affected Party. 
 (i) Each Affected Party claiming increased amounts described in Sections
2.4 or 2.5 hereof shall furnish, through its related CP Conduit, to the Issuer, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee and the Agent for the applicable Purchaser Group a certificate setting forth the basis and amount of each request by such
Affected Party for any such amounts referred to in Sections 2.4 or 2.5, such certificate to be conclusive with respect to the factual information set forth therein absent manifest error. 
 (j) In the event that a Committed Purchaser is a Downgraded Purchaser, the related CP Conduit shall have the right to replace such Committed Purchaser
with a replacement Committed Purchaser consented to by the Transferor (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), which replacement Purchaser shall succeed to the rights of such Committed Purchaser under this Agreement in respect of its
Commitment as a Committed Purchaser, and such Committed Purchaser shall assign such Commitment and its interest in the Class A Notes to such replacement Committed Purchaser in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.1;
provided, that (A) such Committed Purchaser shall not be replaced hereunder with a new investor until such Committed Purchaser has been paid in full its Percentage Interest of the Class A Note Principal Balance and all accrued and
unpaid interest thereon by such new investor and all other amounts (including all amounts owing under Sections 2.4 and 2.5 of this Agreement) owed to it and to all Participants with respect to such Committed Purchaser pursuant to this
Agreement, and (ii) if the Committed Purchaser to be replaced is a Class A Agent, a replacement agent shall have been appointed in accordance with Section 5.9 hereof, and the Class A Agent to be replaced shall have been
paid all amounts owing to it as agent pursuant to this Agreement. For purposes of this subsection, a Committed Purchaser shall be a “Downgraded Purchaser” if and so long as the credit rating assigned to its short-term obligations by
Moody’s or Standard & Poor’s on the date on which it became a party to this Agreement shall have been reduced or withdrawn, or as may be otherwise agreed among the Issuer, such Committed Purchaser and the CP Conduit in its
Purchaser Group. 
 (k) The Commitment of each Committed Purchaser in respect of its related CP Conduit shall not relate to any Assignee of
such CP Conduit. Upon any Assignment by a CP Conduit of 
  

 38 

 its Percentage Interest in the Class A Note Principal Balance to a Person which is not one of its Committed
Purchasers, the Commitment of each of its related Committed Purchasers shall be reduced by an amount equal to the assigned Percentage Interest times such Commitment. Without the prior consent of the Administrative Agent and the Transferor, a CP
Conduit may not enter into an Assignment with any Assignee other than (i) one or more of its Committed Purchasers, or (ii) one or more other Persons which, after giving effect to such Assignment and any concurrent Assignments, will be
Committed Purchasers which have, or CP Conduits having Committed Purchasers which have, aggregate new Commitments equal to the aggregate reductions of Commitments pursuant to the preceding sentence. 
 (l) In the event that a Class A Purchaser (or a Participant or Support Party for such Class A Purchaser) is entitled to receive additional
payments pursuant to Section 2.4 or 2.5 hereof, the Issuer shall have the right to seek a replacement purchaser not so affected and which is reasonably acceptable to the Agent for such Purchaser Group (a “Replacement
Purchaser”) to replace such affected Class A Purchaser. No replacement of a Class A Purchaser shall be effected pursuant to this subsection 6.1(k) if, after giving effect thereto, any amounts shall be owing to the replaced
Class A Purchaser hereunder. Each affected Class A Purchaser hereby agrees to take all actions reasonably necessary to permit a Replacement Purchaser to succeed to its rights and obligations hereunder. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing or the provisions of subsection 6.1(j), (i) if the Class A Purchaser being replaced pursuant to this subsection
is a Committed Purchaser, the Replacement Purchaser shall be acceptable to the CP Conduit in its Purchaser Group in it sole discretion and (ii) if the Class A Purchaser being replaced is a CP Conduit, the Replacement Purchaser shall be
acceptable to each Committed Purchaser in its Purchaser Group and to the Administrative Agent in their sole discretion, and in either such case it shall be a condition of such replacement that such Replacement Purchaser enter into substitute Support
Facilities for those to which the Class A Purchaser being replaced is a party on terms mutually acceptable to the parties thereto. In addition, if the Class A Purchaser to be replaced is an Agent or the Administrative Agent or is a CP
Conduit which is administered or sponsored by an Agent or the Administrative Agent, it shall be a condition of such replacement that a replacement Agent or Administrative Agent shall have been appointed in accordance with Section 5.9,
and the Agent or Administrative Agent to be replaced shall have been paid all amounts owing to it as Agent or Administrative Agent, as applicable pursuant to this Agreement. 
 (m) Unless the Transferor consents otherwise, each Class A Purchaser represents, warrants and covenants that it (i) is properly classified as,
and will remain classified as, a “corporation” as described in Code Section 7701(a)(3) and (ii) is not, and will not become, an “S corporation” under Code Section 1361. Each Class A Purchaser further
represents, warrants and covenants that it shall (i) cause any Participant otherwise permitted under this Agreement to make representations, warranties and covenants identical to this paragraph hereof for the benefit of the Transferor and the
Issuer at the time such Participant became a participant and (ii) forward a copy of such representations, warranties and covenants to the Indenture Trustee. In the event of any breach of the representation, warranty and covenant of a
Class A Purchaser or its Participant that such Class A Purchaser or its Participant shall remain classified as a corporation other than an S corporation, such Class A Purchaser agrees that it shall notify the Administrative Agent and
the Transferor promptly upon such Class A Purchaser’s becoming aware of such 
  

 39 

 breach, and thereupon such Class A Purchaser hereby agrees to use reasonable efforts to procure a replacement
purchaser not so affected to replace such affected Class A Purchaser, provided that such replacement purchaser (i) is a Permitted Transferee, (ii) is reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and for the Agent for the
applicable Purchaser Group and (iii) if such Class A Purchaser is a Committed Purchaser, is acceptable to its related CP Conduit in its discretion. In any such event, the Class A Purchaser agrees that the Transferor shall also have
the right to procure a replacement purchaser, provided that such proposed replacement purchaser (i) is a Permitted Transferee, (ii) is reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and for the Agent for the applicable Purchaser Group
and (iii) if such Class A Purchaser is a Committed Purchaser, is reasonably acceptable to its related CP Conduit. Each affected Class A Purchaser hereby agrees to take all actions necessary to permit a replacement investor to succeed
to its rights and obligations hereunder. Each Class A Purchaser which has a Participant which has breached its representation, warranty and covenant that it shall remain classified as a corporation other than an S corporation hereby agrees
(without limiting the right of the Transferor to procure a replacement purchaser for such Class A Purchaser as provided above in this paragraph) to notify the Transferor and the Administrative Agent of such breach promptly upon such
Class A Purchaser’s becoming aware thereof and to use reasonable efforts to procure a replacement Participant, as applicable, not so affected which (i) is a Permitted Transferee, (ii) is reasonably acceptable to the
Administrative Agent and for the Agent for the applicable Purchaser Group.
