Article 1

PURCHASE ARRANGEMENTS
Section 1.1Purchase Facility.  
a.On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, including, without limitation, the conditions set forth in Article IV:
(i) From time to time prior to the Facility Termination Date, Seller may sell Receivable Interests to the Purchasers by delivering to the Purchasers not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the proposed Purchase Date (which shall be a Business Day), an irrevocable written notice in the form set forth as Exhibit II-A hereto (a “Purchase Notice”) in accordance with Section 1.2; and
1

(ii) Upon timely receipt of a Purchase Notice, each of the Purchasers, severally and not jointly, agrees to purchase its Percentage of the Receivable Interest described in such Purchase Notice;
provided that (1) at no time may the aggregate Capital of any Purchaser at any one time outstanding exceed the lesser of (x) the amount of such Purchaser’s Commitment hereunder, and (y) such Purchaser’s Percentage of the Investment Base, (2) in no event shall the Aggregate Capital outstanding hereunder exceed the lesser of (x) the Facility Limit, and (y) the Investment Base, and (3) in no event may the aggregate Receivable Interests exceed 100%.  Each  Purchaser’s several Commitment shall automatically terminate on the Facility Termination Date.  
b.Seller may, by delivering at least five (5) Business Days’ irrevocable notice to the Purchasers, terminate in whole or permanently reduce in part, ratably amongst the Purchasers in accordance with their respective Percentages, the unused portion of the Facility Limit; provided that each partial reduction of the Facility Limit shall be in an aggregate amount equal to $1,000,000 per Purchaser.
Section 1.2Increases.  If, on any Business Day prior to the Facility Termination Date, there is Investment Availability, Seller may request an Incremental Purchase in accordance with this Section 1.2.  Seller shall provide the Purchasers with a Purchase Notice not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of such Incremental Purchase.  For security purposes, the amount of the Aggregate Capital requested shall also be entered by the Seller into the Administrative Agent’s online “C.E.O. portal,” or funding may be delayed pending telephonic verification of such aggregate amount.  If any Purchase Notice is received or confirmed after the time specified in the first sentence of this Section 1.2(a), the Purchasers will endeavor to honor such notice on that Business Day but will honor it not later than the next succeeding Business Day.  Each Purchase Notice shall be subject to Section 4.2 hereof and shall (a) be prepared in accordance with the most recent Settlement Report, (b) be irrevocable, and (c) specify the requested Purchase Price (which shall be at least $1,000,000 per Purchaser) and the Purchase Date (which shall be a Business Day).  On the date of each Incremental Purchase, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article IV, each Purchaser shall initiate a wire transfer to the Administrative Agent’s Account, in immediately available funds, no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time), in an amount equal to such Purchaser’s Percentage of the Purchase Price of the Receivable Interest then being purchased, and, no later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time), the Administrative Agent will initiate a wire transfer of the funds received to the Facility Account.  Seller agrees that funds wired to the Facility Account in accordance with this Section shall constitute value given to Seller.
Section 1.3Reductions.  
a.Seller shall ensure that the Receivable Interests at no time exceed 100% in the aggregate.  If the aggregate Receivable Interests exceed 100% or the Aggregate Capital exceeds the Facility Limit, Seller shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for ratable distribution to each of the Purchasers, an amount to be applied to reduce the Aggregate Capital, such that after giving effect to such payment, the aggregate of the Receivable Interests equals or is less than 100% and the Aggregate Capital is less than or equal to the Facility Limit.
b.If, on any Business Day, the Aggregate Capital exceeds the Facility Limit, or Seller desires to make a voluntary reduction of the Aggregate Capital outstanding, Seller shall provide the Purchasers irrevocable prior written notice in the form of Exhibit II-B hereto (a “Reduction Notice”) of a proposed reduction of Aggregate Capital not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Business Day.  Such Reduction Notice shall (a) be prepared in accordance with the most recent Settlement Report, 
2

and (b) designate (i) the Business Day (the “Proposed Reduction Date”) upon which any such reduction of Aggregate Capital shall occur, (ii) the amount of Aggregate Capital to be reduced (the “Aggregate Reduction”), and (iii) each Purchaser’s Percentage thereof which shall be not less than $1,000,000 per Purchaser.  Not later than 2:00 p.m. on the Proposed Reduction Date, Seller shall pay to the Administrative Agent’s Account for prompt distribution to each of the Purchasers, such Purchaser’s Percentage of each Aggregate Reduction, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute the funds received ratably to the Purchasers.  Only one (1) Reduction Notice shall be outstanding at any time.
Section 1.4Payment Requirements.  Each Seller Party shall initiate a wire transfer of amounts to be paid or deposited by it pursuant to any provision of this Agreement no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the day when due in immediately available funds.  If such amounts are payable to the Administrative Agent, for its own account or for the account of the Purchasers, they shall be paid to the Administrative Agent’s Account for prompt distribution to the appropriate party or parties.  All computations of Yield and per annum Fees under the Transaction Documents shall be made on the basis of a year consisting of three hundred sixty (360) days for the actual number of days elapsed.  If any amount hereunder shall be payable on a day which is not a Business Day, such amount shall be payable on the next succeeding Business Day.

Section 1.5Deemed Collections.  Upon the occurrence of any Dilution, Seller shall be deemed to have received a Deemed Collection in the amount specified in the definition of “Deemed Collection,” and such Deemed Collection shall be immediately applied to reduce the Net Pool Balance.  To the extent the effect of such Deemed Collection on the Net Pool Balance is to cause an Investment Excess, Seller shall deliver to the Servicer immediately available funds in an amount equal to the lesser of (a) the sum of all Deemed Collections deemed received by Seller and (b) an amount necessary to eliminate such Investment Excess, and in each case, the Servicer shall remit the same pursuant to Article II.
Section 1.6[Reserved].
Section 1.7Yield.  
a.[Reserved].  
b.The outstanding Capital of each investment in the Receivables shall accrue Yield for each day at a rate per annum equal to (i) the sum of (A) the TSIR, plus (B) the Applicable Margin, or, if the TSIR is temporarily unavailable or has been temporarily suspended pursuant to Section 1.8, (ii) the Alternate Base Rate.   
c.Not later than the 5th Business Day of each month, the Administrative Agent shall calculate the aggregate amount of Yield (if any) payable to the Purchasers for the Calculation Period then most recently ended (including unpaid Yield, if any, due and payable on a prior Monthly Payment Date) and shall notify Seller of such aggregate amount.  
d.On each Monthly Payment Date, Seller shall pay to the Administrative Agent’s Account, for distribution to each of the Purchasers in accordance with their respective Percentages, the aggregate amount of such accrued and unpaid Yield.
Section 1.8Changed Circumstances.  Unless and until a Benchmark Replacement is implemented in accordance with Section 1.9 below:
3

a.Circumstances Affecting TSIR Availability.  If any Purchaser notifies Seller and the other Purchasers that it has determined that funding an investment in any Receivable Interest at a rate based on TSIR, would violate any Applicable Law, or compliance by such  Purchasers (or any of its Funding Offices) with any Applicable Law of any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency having jurisdiction over such Purchaser or its applicable Funding Office, or that (i) deposits of a type and maturity appropriate to match-fund its Receivable Interest at a rate based on TSIR are not available or (ii) TSIR does not accurately reflect the cost of acquiring or maintaining an investment in any Receivable Interest at a rate based on TSIR, then the applicable Purchaser shall suspend the availability of TSIR from it and Yield on each applicable  Purchaser’s investments in the Receivable Interests shall accrue at the Alternate Base Rate.
b.Laws Affecting TSIR Availability.  If, after the date hereof, the introduction of, or any change in, any Applicable Law, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any of the  Purchasers (or any of their respective Funding Offices) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, shall make it unlawful or impossible for any of the  Purchasers (or any of their respective Funding Offices) to honor its obligations hereunder to make or maintain any investment in any Receivable Interest at a rate based on TSIR, the applicable Purchaser shall promptly give notice thereof to the Seller and the Administrative Agent.  Thereafter, until such Purchaser notifies the Seller and the Administrative Agent that such circumstances no longer exist, (i) the obligations of such  Purchaser to make investments in any Receivable Interest at a rate based on TSIR shall be suspended and all such investments in Receivable Interests of such Purchaser shall thereafter accrue Yield at the Alternate Base Rate, and (ii) if any of the Purchasers may not lawfully continue to maintain an investment in any Receivable Interest at a rate based on TSIR, the applicable Purchaser’s investment shall immediately be converted to an investment at the Alternate Base Rate.

Seller shall remain obligated for the amount of any payment or application so rescinded, returned or refunded, and shall promptly pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Purchasers in accordance with their respective Percentages, together with the Default Fee thereon from the date of any such rescission, return or refunding.
Section 2.5Clean-up Option.  At any time while the Aggregate Capital outstanding is less than 10% of the Facility Limit, Seller shall have the right (after providing at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Purchasers) to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Receivable Interests.  The purchase price in respect thereof shall be an amount equal to the Aggregate Unpaids through the date of such repurchase, payable in immediately available funds.  Such purchase shall be without representation, warranty or recourse of any kind by, on the part of, or against the Administrative Agent or any of the Purchasers except for a representation and warranty that the conveyance to Servicer is being made free and clear of any Adverse Claim created by the Administrative Agent or such Purchaser, as the case may be.

a.The servicing, administration and collection of the Receivables shall be conducted by such Person (the “Servicer”) so designated from time to time in accordance with this Section 6.1.  Distributors is hereby designated as, and hereby agrees to perform the duties and obligations of, the Servicer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.  At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Amortization Event, the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers may at any time designate as the Servicer any Person to succeed Distributors or any successor Servicer.
25

b.Distributors may delegate to the other Originators, as sub-servicers of the Servicer (each such other Originator, a “Sub-Servicer”), certain of its duties and responsibilities as the Servicer hereunder in respect of the Receivables originated by such Originators.  Without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers, the Servicer shall not be permitted to delegate any of its duties or responsibilities as the Servicer to any Person other than (i) the other Originators, and (ii) with respect to certain Charged-Off Receivables, outside collection agencies in accordance with its customary practices.  None of the Sub-Servicers shall be permitted to further delegate to any other Person any of the duties or responsibilities of the Servicer delegated to it by Distributors.  If at any time following the occurrence of an Amortization Event, the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers shall designate as the Servicer any Person other than Distributors, all duties and responsibilities theretofore delegated by Distributors to any of the Sub-Servicers may, at the discretion of the Administrative Agent or any of the Purchasers, be terminated forthwith on notice given by any of the Purchasers to the other Purchasers, Distributors and Seller.
c.Notwithstanding the foregoing subsection (b), (i) the Servicer shall be and remain primarily liable to the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers for the full and prompt performance of all duties and responsibilities of the Servicer hereunder and (ii) the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers shall be entitled to deal exclusively with the Servicer in matters relating to the discharge by the Servicer of its duties and responsibilities hereunder.  The Administrative Agent and the Purchasers shall not be required to give notice, demand or other communication to any Person other than the Servicer in order for communication to the Servicer and the Sub-Servicers or other delegate with respect thereto to be accomplished.  The Servicer, at all times that it is the Servicer, shall be responsible for providing any Sub-Servicer or other delegate of the Servicer with any notice given to the Servicer under this Agreement.
Section 6.2Duties of the Servicer.
a.The Servicer shall take or cause to be taken all such actions as may be necessary or advisable to collect each Receivable from time to time, all in accordance with applicable laws, rules and regulations, with reasonable care and diligence, and in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy of each respective Originator.  
b.The Servicer shall direct all Obligors to make payments of the Receivables as follows:
i.Directly to a Post Office Box that is subject to a P.O. Box Agreement and from which mail is picked up each Business Day and deposited with two (2) Business Days in a Collection Account that is subject to an Account Control Agreement;
ii.Directly to a Lock Box that clears through a Lock-Box Account which is subject to an Account Control Agreement;
iii.Directly to a Collection Account which is subject to an Account Control Agreement;
iv.To a Cash Application Center which deposits its receipts each Business Day into a Collection Account that is subject to an Account Control Agreement; or
v.To a Sales Center which either (A) deposits its receipts each Business Day into a Collection Account that is subject to an Account Control Agreement, or (B) sweeps its 
26

Collections into a Collection Account that is subject to an Account Control Agreement within two (2) Business Days.
If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any Obligor makes payment to any Seller Party or Originator other than at a Cash Application Center or Sales Center, the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, agrees to remit, or to cause the applicable Originator to remit, any Collections (including any security deposits applied to the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable) that it receives on Receivables directly to a Collection Account that is subject to an Account Control Agreement within two (2) Business Days after receipt thereof, and further agrees that all such Collections shall be deemed to be received in trust for the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers; provided that prior to the Dominion Date, the Seller or the Servicer may retain such Collections until required to be turned over to the Administrative Agent or the Purchasers on the next Settlement Date.  
c.From and after the date the Administrative Agent delivers to any Lock-Box Bank(s) or Collection Bank(s) a Notice of Exclusive Control pursuant to Section 6.4 (each such date, the “Dominion Date”), the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Purchasers, may request that the Servicer, and the Servicer thereupon promptly shall instruct all Obligors to remit all payments thereon to a new depositary account specified by the Administrative Agent and, at all times thereafter, Seller and the Servicer shall not deposit or otherwise credit, and shall not permit any other Person to deposit or otherwise credit to such new depositary account any cash or payment item other than Collections.
d.The Servicer (and from and after the Dominion Date, the Administrative Agent) shall administer the Collections in accordance with the procedures described herein and in Article II.  Subject to the last sentence of this Section 6.2(d), the Servicer shall hold in trust for the account of Seller and each Purchaser their respective shares of the Collections in accordance with Article II.  From and after the Dominion Date, the Servicer shall, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, segregate, in a manner acceptable to the Administrative Agent, all cash, checks and other instruments received by it from time to time constituting Collections from the general funds of the Servicer or Seller prior to the remittance thereof in accordance with Article II to the extent of any accrued and unpaid Aggregate Unpaids, and the requirement to continue such segregation shall continue until such Amortization Event is waived in the sole discretion of the Required Purchasers or until the conditions to further Purchases set forth in Section 4.2 are satisfied.  Subject to Section 2.2, at all times while the Servicer is required to segregate Collections pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Servicer shall segregate and deposit with a bank designated by the Administrative Agent such allocable share of Collections of Receivables set aside for the Purchasers on the first Business Day following receipt by the Servicer of such Collections, duly endorsed or with duly executed instruments of transfer.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, for so long as the Administrative Agent is not permitted to and has not requested the segregation of Collections in accordance with this Section 6.2(d) and Distributors or one of its Affiliates is the Servicer, the Servicer may process Collections as a part of a central cash management system maintained by Distributors and its Affiliates, which system shall include written records (which may be electronic) of all debits and credits attributable to Seller and its Receivables and all other participants in such system and, prior to the Dominion Date, such funds may be commingled with other funds of Distributors and its Affiliates.
e.The Servicer may, in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy, extend the maturity of any Receivable or adjust the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable as the Servicer determines to be appropriate to maximize Collections thereof; provided, however, that such extension or adjustment shall not alter the status of such Receivable as a Delinquent Receivable, Defaulted Receivable or Charged-Off Receivable or limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or the Purchasers under this 
27

Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, following the occurrence and during continuation of an Amortization Event, the Administrative Agent shall have the absolute and unlimited right to direct the Servicer to commence or settle any legal action with respect to any Receivable or to foreclose upon or repossess any Related Security.
f.The Servicer shall hold in trust for Seller and the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser all Records in its possession that (i) evidence or relate to the Receivables, the related Contracts and Related Security or (ii) are otherwise necessary or desirable to collect the Receivables and shall, following the occurrence of an Amortization Event that is continuing (provided such Amortization Event is not, in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers, waived in accordance with this Agreement, and provided further that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Purchaser shall be required to grant any such waiver), as soon as practicable upon demand of the Administrative Agent, deliver or make available to the Administrative Agent all such Records, at a place selected by the Administrative Agent.  The Servicer shall, one (1) Business Day following receipt thereof turn over (A) to Seller any cash Collections or other cash proceeds in accordance with Article II and (B) to the applicable Person any cash collections or other cash proceeds received with respect to Indebtedness not constituting Receivables.  The Servicer shall, from time to time at the request of the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser, furnish to the Purchasers (promptly after any such request) a calculation of the amounts set aside for the Purchasers pursuant to Article II.
g.Any payment by an Obligor in respect of any indebtedness owed by it to an Originator or Seller shall, except as otherwise specified by such Obligor or otherwise required by Contract or law and unless otherwise instructed by the Administrative Agent, be applied as a Collection of any Receivable of such Obligor (starting with the oldest such Receivable) to the extent of any amounts then due and payable thereunder before being applied to any other receivable or other obligation of such Obligor.
Section 6.3Lock-Box Accounts and Collection Accounts.  Subject to the terms of the applicable Account Control Agreement, the Seller Parties shall grant to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers “control” (within the meaning of the UCC) over each Lock-Box and Lock-Box Account and each Collection Account from time to time identified by the Administrative Agent.
Section 6.4Notices of Exclusive Control; P.O. Box Agreements.  The Administrative Agent is authorized to date and to deliver to the Lock-Box Banks and Collection Banks the Notices of Exclusive Control, and to the applicable postmasters, the P.O. Box Agreements, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Amortization Event.  Subject to the terms of the applicable Account Control Agreement, the applicable Originator has transferred to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Purchasers, exclusive “control” over each Collection Account identified on Exhibit IV hereto and each of the Lock-Box Accounts; provided, however, that the Seller Parties shall retain the right to direct dispositions of funds from the Collection Accounts and Lock-Box Accounts prior to the Dominion Date.  Each of the Seller Parties hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent, and agrees that the Administrative Agent shall be entitled (a) at any time after delivery of the Notices of Exclusive Control and the P.O. Box Agreements, to endorse the applicable Seller Party’s (or the applicable Originator’s) name on checks and other instruments representing Collections, (b) at any time after an Amortization Event hereunder has occurred and is continuing, to enforce the Receivables, the related Contracts and the Related Security, and (c) at any time after an Amortization Event hereunder has occurred and is continuing, to take such action as shall be necessary or desirable to cause all cash, checks and other instruments constituting Collections 
28

of Receivables to come into the possession of the Administrative Agent rather than the Seller Parties or the Originators.
Section 6.5Responsibilities under Contracts.  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the exercise by the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers of their rights hereunder shall not release the Servicer, any Originator or Seller from any of their duties or obligations with respect to any Receivables or under the related Contracts.  The Purchasers shall have no obligation or liability with respect to any Receivables or related Contracts, nor shall any of them be obligated to perform the obligations of Seller or any Originator.
Section 6.6Reports.
a.On each Weekly Reporting Date, the Servicer shall prepare and deliver not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) to the Purchasers a Weekly Report in the form of Exhibit VIII hereto (appropriately completed and executed).
b.On each Monthly Reporting Date, the Servicer shall prepare and deliver not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) to the Purchasers, a Monthly Report for the calendar month then most recently ended in the form of Exhibit IX hereto (appropriately completed and executed).
c.At such times as any Purchaser shall reasonably request, the Servicer shall prepare and deliver not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) two (2) Business Days after such request a listing by Obligor of all Receivables together with an aging of such Receivables.
Section 6.7Servicing Fees.  In consideration of Distributors’ agreement to act as the Servicer hereunder, so long as Distributors shall continue to perform as the Servicer hereunder, Distributors shall be paid a fee (the “Servicing Fee”) on each Monthly Payment Date, in arrears for the immediately preceding Calculation Period, equal to 1.0% per annum of the average aggregate Outstanding Balance of all Receivables during such period.  At any time while the Servicer is not an Affiliate of Seller, the Servicing Fee shall be computed at such rate per annum as the Administrative Agent, Seller and the substitute the Servicer may mutually agree.

provided, however, that nothing contained in this sentence shall limit the liability of Seller or limit the recourse of the Administrative Agent or the Purchasers to Seller for amounts otherwise specifically provided to be paid by Seller under the terms of the Transaction Documents.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing indemnification, Seller shall indemnify the Indemnified Parties for Indemnified Amounts (including, without limitation, losses in respect of uncollectible Receivables, regardless of whether reimbursement therefor would constitute recourse to Seller) relating to or resulting from:
i.any representation or warranty made by any Seller Party or any Originator (or any officers of any such Person) under or in connection with this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any other information or report required to be delivered by any such Person pursuant hereto or thereto, which shall have been false or incorrect in any material respect when made or deemed made;

v.any dispute, claim, offset or defense (other than discharge in bankruptcy of the Obligor) of the Obligor to the payment of any Receivable (including, without limitation, a defense based on such Receivable or the related Contract not being a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Obligor enforceable against it in accordance with its terms), or any other claim resulting from the sale of the merchandise or service related to such Receivable or the furnishing or failure to furnish such merchandise or services;
vi.the commingling of Collections of Receivables at any time with other funds;
vii.any investigation, litigation or proceeding related to or arising from this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, the transactions contemplated hereby, the use of the proceeds of any Purchase, the ownership of the Receivable Interests or any other investigation, litigation or proceeding relating to any Seller Party or any Originator in which any Indemnified Party becomes involved as a result of any of the transactions contemplated hereby;

viii.any inability to litigate any claim against any Obligor in respect of any Receivable as a result of such Obligor being immune from civil and commercial law and suit on the grounds of sovereignty or otherwise from any legal action, suit or proceeding;
ix.any Amortization Event described in Section 7.1(g);
x.any failure of Seller to acquire and maintain legal and equitable title to, and ownership of any Receivable and the Related Security and Collections with respect thereto from any Originator, free and clear of any Adverse Claim (other than as created hereunder); or any failure of Seller to give reasonably equivalent value to the applicable Originator under the Sale Agreement in consideration of the transfer by it of any Receivable, or any attempt by any Person to void such transfer under statutory provisions or common law or equitable action;
xi.any failure to vest and maintain vested in the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Purchasers) a valid and perfected ownership interest (to the extent of the Receivable Interests) or a first priority perfected Security Interest in the Collateral, free and clear of any Adverse Claim (except as created by the Transaction Documents);
xii.the failure to have filed, or any delay in filing, financing statements or other similar instruments or documents under the UCC of any applicable jurisdiction or other applicable laws with respect to any Collateral, whether on the date hereof or at any subsequent time, except to the extent such failure or delay is caused by the Administrative Agent;
xiii.any action or omission by any Seller Party which reduces or impairs the rights of the Administrative Agent or the Purchasers with respect to any Collateral or the value of any Collateral;
xiv.any attempt by any Person to void any Purchase or the Security Interest in the Collateral granted hereunder, whether under statutory provision, common law or equitable action;  and
xv.the failure of any Receivable included in the calculation of the Investment Base as an Eligible Receivable to be an Eligible Receivable at the time so included.
b.After receipt by an Indemnified Party of notice of any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding (collectively, a “Proceeding”) involving such Indemnified Party, such Indemnified Party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against Seller hereunder, promptly notify Seller in writing, and in reasonable detail, of such Proceeding.  Upon receipt of notice from an Indemnified Party seeking indemnification hereunder with respect to any such Proceeding, Seller shall be entitled to assume the defense of any such Proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.  Upon Seller’s assumption of the defense of any such Proceeding, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in such Proceeding and to retain its own counsel but Seller shall not be liable for any legal expenses of other counsel subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof unless (x) Seller agrees in writing to pay such fees and expenses, (y) Seller fails to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent in a timely manner, or (z) the Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that there are actual or potential conflicting interests between Seller, on the one hand, and the Indemnified Party, on the other hand, including situations in which there are one or more legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to Seller; provided, however, that Seller shall not in any event be responsible hereunder for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (plus local counsel, 
35

where necessary) for all Indemnified Parties in connection with any Proceeding. Seller  shall have the sole authority to settle any claim for monetary damages and, if Seller chooses not to assume the defense of any such Proceeding, no Indemnified Party will consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any Proceeding without Seller’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
Section 8.2Indemnities by the Servicer.  (a) Without limiting any other rights that the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser may have hereunder or under applicable law, the Servicer hereby agrees to indemnify (and pay upon demand to) each Indemnified Party from and against any and all damages, losses, claims, Taxes, liabilities, costs, reasonable expenses and for all other amounts payable, including reasonable fees and disbursements of external counsel (all of the foregoing being collectively referred to as “Servicer Indemnified Amounts”) awarded against or incurred by any of them arising out of or as a result of the Servicer’s failure to duly and punctually perform its obligations under this Agreement excluding, however, in all of the foregoing instances:
A.Servicer Indemnified Amounts to the extent a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction holds that such Servicer Indemnified Amounts resulted from gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of an Indemnified Party; and
B.Servicer Indemnified Amounts to the extent the same includes losses in respect of Receivables that are uncollectible on account of the insolvency, bankruptcy or lack of creditworthiness or financial inability or unwillingness to pay (other than a dispute giving rise to a Dilution) of the related Obligor;
provided, however, that nothing contained in this sentence shall limit the liability of the Servicer or limit the recourse of the Purchasers to the Servicer for Collections received by the Servicer and required to be remitted by it under the terms of this Agreement.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing indemnification, the Servicer shall indemnify the Indemnified Parties for Servicer Indemnified Amounts (including, without limitation, losses in respect of uncollectible Receivables, regardless of whether reimbursement therefor would constitute recourse to the Servicer) relating to or resulting from:
i.any representation or warranty made by the Servicer (or any officers of the Servicer) under or in connection with this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any other information or report delivered by any such Person pursuant hereto or thereto, which shall have been false or incorrect in any material respect when made or deemed made;
ii.the failure by the Servicer to comply with any applicable law, rule or regulation with respect to the collection of any Receivable or Related Security;
iii.any failure of the Servicer to perform its duties, covenants or other obligations in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document;
iv.the commingling by the Servicer of Collections of Receivables or funds or other assets arising therefrom at any time with other funds;
v.any investigation, litigation or proceeding relating to the Servicer in which any Indemnified Party becomes involved as a result of any of the transactions contemplated hereby;
36

vi.any Amortization Event of the described in Section 7.1(g) with respect to the Servicer; and 
vii.any action or omission by the Servicer relating to its obligations hereunder which reduces or impairs the rights of the Administrative Agent or the Purchasers with respect to any Receivable or the value of any such Receivable.
b.After receipt by an Indemnified Party of notice of any Proceedings involving such Indemnified Party, such Indemnified Party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against Servicer hereunder, promptly notify the Servicer in writing, and in reasonable detail, of such Proceeding.  Upon receipt of notice from an Indemnified Party seeking indemnification hereunder with respect to any such Proceeding, the Servicer shall be entitled to assume the defense of any such Proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.  Upon the Servicer’s assumption of the defense of any such Proceeding, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in such Proceeding and to retain its own counsel but the Servicer shall not be liable for any legal expenses of other counsel subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof unless (x) the Servicer agrees in writing to pay such fees and expenses, (y) the Servicer fails to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent in a timely manner, or (z) the Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that there are actual or potential conflicting interests between the Servicer, on the one hand, and the Indemnified Party, on the other hand, including situations in which there are one or more legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Servicer; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not in any event be responsible hereunder for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (plus local counsel, where necessary) for all Indemnified Parties in connection with any Proceeding.  The Servicer  shall have the sole authority to settle any claim for monetary damages and, if the Servicer chooses not to assume the defense of any such Proceeding, no Indemnified Party will consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any Proceeding without the Servicer’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
Section 8.3Increased Cost and Reduced Return.  If after the date hereof, any Agent or any Purchaser shall be charged any fee, expense or increased cost on account of the adoption after the date hereof of any applicable law, rule or regulation (including any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy and any accounting principles) or any change after the date hereof in any applicable Law, rule or regulation, or any change after the date hereof in the interpretation or administration of any applicable law, rule or regulation by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency (a “Regulatory Change”):  (a) that subjects the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser to any Taxes -- other than Indemnified Taxes and Excluded Taxes -- on its interest in the Receivable Interests or its Commitment or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, (b) that imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve, assessment, insurance or other insurance-related charge, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of the Administrative Agent or a Purchaser, or credit extended or any commitments to extend credit by the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or (c) that imposes any other condition the result of which is to increase the cost to the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser of performing its obligations under the Transaction Documents, or to reduce the rate of return on the Administrative Agent’s or any Purchaser’s capital as a consequence of its obligations under the Transaction Documents, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser under any Transaction 
37

Document or to require any payment calculated by reference to the amount of interests in Receivable Interests, then, upon demand by the Administrative Agent or such Purchaser, Seller shall pay to the Administrative Agent or such Purchaser such amounts charged to such Person amounts to otherwise compensate such Person for such increased cost or such reduction; provided that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act adopted on July 21, 2010 and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be a “Regulatory Change”, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.  For the avoidance of doubt, payments under this Section 8.3 in respect of increased Taxes shall be without duplication of any Taxes payable pursuant to Section 8.5.
Section 8.4Other Costs and Expenses.  Seller shall pay to the Administrative Agent on demand all reasonable costs and out-of-pocket expenses in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby and the other documents to be delivered hereunder, including without limitation, the cost of auditors auditing the books, records and procedures of Seller, reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of external legal counsel for the Administrative Agent with respect thereto and with respect to advising the Administrative Agent as to its rights and remedies under this Agreement. Seller shall pay to the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers on demand any and all reasonable costs and out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers, if any, including reasonable external counsel fees and out-of-pocket expenses in connection with (i) any amendments, any waivers or the enforcement of this Agreement and the other documents delivered hereunder and (ii) any restructuring or workout of this Agreement or such documents, or the administration of this Agreement following an Amortization Event.
Section 8.5Taxes.
a.Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Seller under any Transaction Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law.  If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of the Seller) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by the Seller, then the Seller shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Seller shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 8.5) the applicable Indemnified Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
b.Seller shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the written request of the applicable Indemnified Party timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
c.Seller shall indemnify each Indemnified Party, on the first Settlement Date which is at least 45 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 8.5) payable or paid by such Indemnified Party and any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  Each Indemnified Party will promptly notify the Seller 
38

of any event of which it has knowledge, which will entitle such Indemnified Party to compensation pursuant to this Section 8.5; provided, however, that failure of any Indemnified Party to demand indemnification for any Taxes shall not constitute a waiver of such right to indemnification, except that the Seller shall not be required to indemnify an Indemnified Party for Taxes under this Section 8.5 unless such Indemnified Party notifies the Seller of such claim no later than 45 days after such Indemnified Party has knowledge of such Taxes being imposed or arising.  Any notice claiming indemnification under this Section 8.5 shall set forth in reasonable detail the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder and shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.
d.Each Indemnified Party agrees that it will use reasonable efforts to reduce or eliminate any claim for indemnity pursuant to this Section 8.5, including, subject to applicable law, a change in the funding office of such Indemnified Party; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall obligate any Indemnified Party to take any action that imposes on such Indemnified Party any material additional costs or imposes material legal or regulatory burdens, nor which, in such Indemnified Party’s reasonable opinion, would have a material adverse effect on its business, operations or financial condition.
e.If any Indemnified Party receives a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 8.5 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 8.5), it shall pay to the Seller an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such Indemnified Party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund).  The Seller, upon the request of such Indemnified Party, shall repay to such Indemnified Party the amount paid over pursuant to this clause (e) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such Indemnified Party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this clause (e), in no event will the Indemnified Party be required to pay any amount to the Seller pursuant to this clause (e) the payment of which would place the Indemnified Party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Indemnified Party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid.  This paragraph shall not be construed to require any Indemnified Party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Seller or any other Person.
f.Each Purchaser shall deliver to the Seller and Servicer, on or prior to the date on which such Purchaser becomes a Purchaser under this Agreement and as otherwise prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Seller, such valid, properly completed and duly executed forms, certificates and documentation (including, as applicable, Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN-E, W-8IMY or W-9 or successor form of the foregoing), along with any applicable attachments (including, in case of a Person claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, a certificate reasonably satisfactory to the Seller to the effect that such Person is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of Seller or the Performance Guarantor within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code), prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Seller, the Servicer, or any Agent as will permit such payments to be made without or at a reduced rate of withholding.  Each Purchaser agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Seller, the Servicer and the Purchasers, in writing of its legal inability 
39

to do so.  Each Purchaser shall replace or update such forms when necessary to maintain any applicable exemption and as requested by any Purchaser or the Seller, as applicable.  Each Purchaser agrees to hold the Administrative Agent, the Servicer and the Seller harmless from any Withholding Taxes relating to payments by the Seller to or for the account of such Purchaser or such indemnitee arising from such Purchaser’s failure to comply with this Section 8.5(f).
g.If a payment made to any Agent or any Purchaser hereunder would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such payee were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such payee shall deliver to the Seller at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Seller, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Seller as may be necessary for the Seller to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to determine that such payee has complied with such payee’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this clause (g), the term “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
Section 8.6Intended Tax Characterization.  The Seller Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers intend and agree that, for the purposes of all Taxes, the transactions contemplated hereby shall be treated as loans by the Purchasers to the Seller that are secured by the Receivables, all Related Security and all Collections with respect thereto (the “Intended Tax Characterization”).  The Seller Parties, the Agent and the Purchasers hereto agree to report and otherwise to act for the purposes of all Taxes in a manner consistent with the Intended Tax Characterization.  Under the Intended Tax Characterization, (i) each purchase of a Receivables Interest shall be treated as a loan; (ii) Collections transferred to the Purchasers in reduction of their Capital in respect of a Receivables Interest shall be treated as repayment of loan principal; and (iii) Yield in respect of a Receivables Interest shall be treated as interest.

The Administrative Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Purchaser to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements or covenants contained in, or conditions of, any Transaction Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of Seller Parties.  This Section 9.3 is intended solely to govern the relationship between the Administrative Agent, on the one hand, and the Purchasers, on the other.
Section 9.4Reliance by the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers.
a.Each of the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers shall in all cases be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to Seller Parties), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent or such Purchaser.  The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other document furnished in connection herewith unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of all of the Purchasers (except where another provision of this Agreement specifically authorizes the Administrative Agent to take action based on the instructions of the Required Purchasers).
b.Any action taken by the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 9.4(a) shall be binding upon all of the Purchasers.
41

Section 9.5Notice of Amortization Events.  Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of the Purchasers shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Amortization Event or Potential Amortization Event unless it has received notice from another party referring to this Agreement, stating that an Amortization Event or Potential Amortization Event has occurred hereunder and describing such Amortization Event or Potential Amortization Event.  In the event that the Administrative Agent or any of the Purchasers receives such a notice, it shall promptly give notice thereof to the other Purchasers.  The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Amortization Event or Potential Amortization Event as shall be directed by the Required Purchasers.
Section 9.6Non-Reliance on the Administrative Agent and Other Purchasers.  Each of the Purchasers expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of the other Purchasers, or any of the respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates of any of the foregoing has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent or any other Purchaser hereafter taken, including, without limitation, any review of the affairs of Seller Parties, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser.  Each of the Purchasers also represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the other Purchasers that it has, independently and without reliance upon any such Person (or any of their Affiliates) and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of, and investigation into, the business, operations, property, prospects, financial and other conditions and creditworthiness of Seller Parties and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement.  Each of the Purchasers also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Purchaser, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, prospects, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Seller Parties.  Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of the Purchasers, nor any of their respective Affiliates, shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any party to this Agreement with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, prospects, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of Seller Parties which may come into the possession of such Person or any of its respective officers, directors, managers, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates.
Section 9.7Indemnification of the Administrative Agent.  Each  Purchaser agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and its respective officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents (to the extent not reimbursed by Seller Parties and without limiting the obligation of Seller Parties to do so), ratably in accordance with their respective Percentages, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent or such Person in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not the Administrative Agent acts in its capacity as Administrative Agent or such Person shall be designated a party thereto) that may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent or such Person as a result of, or arising out of, or in any way related to or by reason of, any of the transactions contemplated hereunder or the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement or any other document furnished in connection herewith (but excluding any such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting solely from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful 
42

misconduct of the Administrative Agent or such Person, as the case may be, as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction).
Section 9.8Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity.  Each of the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity and the affiliates thereof  may make loans to, purchase receivables from, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with Seller Parties and their Affiliates as though the Administrative Agent were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.  With respect to its Receivable Interests, if any, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any Purchaser and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the terms “Purchaser” and “Purchasers” shall include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity.
Section 9.9Successor Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent, upon thirty (30) days’ notice to Seller Parties and the Purchasers, may voluntarily resign and may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by the Purchasers.  If the Administrative Agent shall voluntarily resign or be removed as Administrative Agent under this Agreement, then the Purchasers during such thirty (30) day period shall appoint, with the consent of Seller from among the remaining  Purchasers, a successor Administrative Agent, whereupon such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor Administrative Agent, effective upon its appointment, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement.  Upon resignation or replacement of any Administrative Agent in accordance with this Section 9.9, the retiring Administrative Agent shall execute or authorize the filing of such UCC-3 assignments and amendments, and assignments and amendments of the Transaction Documents, as may be necessary to give effect to its replacement by a successor Administrative Agent.  After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of Article VIII and this Article IX shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement.
Section 9.10UCC Filings.  Each of the Purchasers hereby expressly recognizes and agrees that the Administrative Agent may be designated as the secured party of record on the various UCC filings required to be made under this Agreement and the party entitled to amend, release and terminate the UCC filings under the Sale Agreement in order to perfect their respective interests in the Receivables, Collections and Related Security, that such designation shall be for administrative convenience only in creating a record or nominee holder 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 true parties in interest with respect to the Receivable Interests.  In addition, such listing shall impose no duties on the Administrative Agent other than those expressly and specifically undertaken in accordance with this Article IX.
Section 9.11Recovery of Erroneous Payments.  
a.If the Administrative Agent notifies a Purchaser or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Purchaser (any such Person, a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Purchaser or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, 
43

fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof) in writing (provided that, without limiting any other rights or remedies (whether at law or in equity), the Administrative Agent may not make any such demand under this clause (a) with respect to an Erroneous Payment unless such demand is made within 30 days of the date of receipt of such Erroneous Payment by the applicable Payment Recipient), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and such Purchaser shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two (2) Business Days thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same-day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect.  A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
b.Without limiting the immediately preceding clause (a), each Purchaser, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Purchaser, hereby further agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Purchaser, or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) in each case:
i.(A) in the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Administrative Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and
ii.such Purchaser shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of such error) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 9.11(b).
c.Each Purchaser hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set-off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Purchaser under any Transaction Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Purchaser from any source, against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under Section 9.11(a) or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.
d.In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 9.11(a), from any Purchaser that has received such Erroneous Payment (or 
44

portion thereof) and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Administrative Agent’s notice to such Purchaser at any time, (i) such Purchaser shall be deemed to have assigned its interests in the Receivable Interests (but not its Commitment) with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Class”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of interests in the Receivable Interests (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Administrative Agent in such instance), and is hereby (together with the Seller) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment Agreement with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (ii) the Administrative Agent as the assignee Purchaser shall be deemed to acquire the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (iii) upon such deemed acquisition, the Administrative Agent as the assignee Purchaser shall become a Purchaser hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Purchaser shall cease to be a Purchaser hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its Commitment which shall survive as to such assigning Purchaser and (iv) the Administrative Agent may reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Receivable Interests subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment.  The Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, sell any interest in the Receivable Interests acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment to an Eligible Assignee subject to the terms and conditions with respect to assignment of interests in the Receivable Interests set forth herein and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Purchaser shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such interest in the Receivable Interests (or portion thereof), and the Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Purchaser (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf).  For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitment of any Purchaser and such Commitment shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
e.The parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Aggregate Unpaids owed by the Seller or any other Seller Party, 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 Administrative Agent from the Seller or any other Seller Party for the purpose of reducing the Aggregate Unpaids.
f.To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.
g.Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 9.11 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Purchaser, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Aggregate Unpaids (or any portion thereof) under any Transaction Document.
45

h.Nothing referenced in this Section 9.11, including the payment of an Erroneous Payment and the rights and obligations of the parties related thereto under this Section 9.11, shall trigger the Seller Parties’ indemnification obligations hereunder including under Article VIII.

b.In addition, with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), each of the Purchasers may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees (each, an “Assignee Purchaser”) all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to an assignment agreement, substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit VI hereto (an “Assignment Agreement”) executed by such Assignee Purchaser and such selling Purchaser.  So long as no Amortization Event shall have occurred and be continuing, the consent of Seller (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required prior to the effectiveness of any assignment under this Section 10.1(b) other than to an existing Purchaser.  Upon delivery of the executed Assignment Agreement to the Administrative Agent, such selling Purchaser shall be released from its obligations hereunder to the extent of such assignment.  Thereafter, the Assignee Purchaser shall for all purposes be a Purchaser party to this Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Purchaser under this Agreement to the same extent as if it were an original party hereto and thereto, and no further consent or action by Seller, the Purchasers or the Administrative Agent shall be required.  Neither Seller nor the Servicer shall have the right to assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement. No Purchaser may assign all or any part of its rights or obligations under this Agreement other than as permitted by Section 9.11 or this Section 10.1.
c.Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any Purchaser may at any time pledge or grant a Security Interest in all or any portion of its rights (including, without limitation, rights to payment of principal and interest) under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Purchaser to a Federal Reserve Bank located in the United States of America, without notice to or consent of any other party hereto; provided that no such pledge or grant of a Security Interest shall release such Purchaser from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or grantee for such Purchaser as a party hereto.
Section 10.2Participations.  Any Purchaser may, in the ordinary course of its business at any time sell to one or more Persons (each a “Participant”) participating interests in its Commitment and its Receivable Interests.  Notwithstanding any such sale by a Purchaser of a participating interest to a Participant, such Purchaser’s rights and obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Purchaser shall remain solely responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and each of the parties hereto shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Purchaser in connection with such Purchaser’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.  Each Purchaser agrees that any agreement between such Purchaser and any such Participant in respect of such participating interest shall not restrict such Purchaser’s right to agree to any amendment, supplement, waiver or modification to the Transaction Documents without such Participant’s consent, except for any amendment, supplement, waiver or modification seeking to (i) increase the Commitment of such Purchaser, (ii) reduce the Capital of any investment in any Receivable Interest by such Purchaser or reduce the Yield Rate thereon, or reduce any 
46

Fees payable to such Purchaser, (iii) postpone the date specified in clause (i) of the definition of “Facility Termination Date” or the date for payment of any Capital, Yield or Fees owing to such Purchaser, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, (iv) release all or substantially all of the Collateral; (v) release Seller; (vi) release the Performance Undertaking; or (vii) change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of “Required Purchasers”, or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Purchasers required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder.
Section 10.3Replacement of Purchaser.  If (i) Seller becomes obligated to pay additional amounts to any Purchaser pursuant to Section 8.3, or any Purchaser gives notice of the occurrence of any circumstances described in Section 1.7, or (ii) any Purchaser does not consent to any matter requiring its consent under Section 12.1 when the Required Purchasers have otherwise consented to such matter, then Seller may within 90 days thereafter designate another bank or financial institution meeting the requirements of an Eligible Assignee (or otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent) (such other institution being called a “Replacement Purchaser”) to purchase the Receivable Interests of such Purchaser and such Purchaser’s rights hereunder, without recourse to or warranty by, or expense to, such Purchaser, for a purchase price equal to the outstanding Capital and Yield payable to such Purchaser plus any accrued but unpaid fees owed to such Purchaser and any other amounts payable to such Purchaser under this Agreement, and to assume all the obligations of such Purchaser hereunder, all in compliance with Section 10.1.  Upon such purchase and assumption (pursuant to an Assignment Agreement), such Purchaser shall no longer be a party hereto or have any rights hereunder (other than rights with respect to indemnities and similar rights applicable to such Purchaser prior to the date of such purchase and assumption) and shall be relieved from all obligations to Seller hereunder, and the Replacement Purchaser shall succeed to the rights and obligations of such Purchaser hereunder.
Article 11

GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST
Section 11.1Grant of Security Interest.  In addition to any ownership interest which the Administrative Agent may from time to time acquire pursuant hereto, Seller hereby grants to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Purchasers and the Indemnified Parties, a continuing Security Interest in all of Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under all Receivables now existing or hereafter arising, all Related Security, all Collections and other rights and payments relating to such Receivables and Related Security, and all proceeds of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Collateral”), prior to all other Liens on and Security Interests therein to secure the prompt and complete payment of the Aggregate Unpaids and the performance of all of Seller’s obligations under the Transaction Documents.   The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to file a financing statement naming Seller as the debtor and/or Seller and describing the collateral covered thereby as “all personal property and the proceeds thereof”, “all assets and the proceeds thereof” or words of similar effect.  The Administrative Agent, the Purchasers and the Indemnified Parties shall have, in addition to the rights and 
47

remedies that they may have under this Agreement, all other rights and remedies provided to a secured creditor under the UCC and other applicable law, which rights and remedies shall be cumulative
Article 12

MISCELLANEOUS
Section 12.1Waivers and Amendments.
a.No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent or any of the Purchasers in exercising any power, right or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or remedy preclude any other further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power, right or remedy.  The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and nonexclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.  Any waiver of this Agreement shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.
b.No provision of this Agreement may be amended, supplemented, modified or waived except in writing in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.8(c) or this Section 12.1(b).  This Agreement and the provisions hereof may only be amended, supplemented, modified or waived in a writing signed by the Seller, the Servicer and the Required Purchasers; provided, however, that (i) without the consent of any Purchaser, the Administrative Agent and Seller may amend this Agreement solely to add additional Persons as Purchasers hereunder; (ii) the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers may enter into amendments to modify any of the terms or provisions of Article IX of this Agreement without the consent of Seller, provided that (x) such amendment has no negative impact upon Seller or Servicer, and (y) unless an Amortization Event has occurred and is continuing, Seller shall have the right to consent to the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and (iii) without the consent of each Purchaser directly affected thereby, (A) extend the Facility Termination Date or the date of any payment or deposit of Collections by the Seller or the Servicer, (B) reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of Yield (or any component of Yield), (C) reduce any fee payable to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of any Purchaser, (D) change the Capital of any Receivable Interest, (E) amend, modify or waive any provision of the definition of Required Purchasers or this Section 12.1(b), (F) consent to or permit the assignment or transfer by the Seller of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, (G) release or subordinate all or substantially all of the Collateral or terminate or subordinate any Security Interest or Lien created by the Transaction Documents which would have the effect of releasing all or substantially all of the Collateral without the written consent of each Purchaser, (H) change the definition of “Investment Base”, “Commitment”, “Concentration Limit”, “Default Horizon Ratio”, “Dilution Reserve”, “Eligible Receivable”, “Purchase Price”, “Net Pool Balance” and “Required Reserve” or (I) amend or modify any defined term (or any defined term used directly or indirectly in such defined term) used in clauses (A) through (H) above in a manner that would circumvent the intention of the restrictions set forth in such clauses. Any modification or waiver made in accordance with this Section 12.1 shall be binding upon each of the parties hereto.
Section 12.3Notices.  Except as provided in this Section 12.2, all communications and notices provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including email, bank wire, telecopy or electronic facsimile transmission or similar writing) and shall be given to the other parties hereto at their respective addresses or telecopy numbers set forth on the signature pages hereof or at such other address or telecopy number as such Person may hereafter specify for the purpose of notice to each of the other parties hereto. Each such 
48

notice or other communication shall be effective (a) if given by telecopy or email, upon the receipt thereof, (b) if given by mail, three (3) Business Days after the time such communication is deposited in the mail with first class postage prepaid or (c) if given by any other means, when received at the address specified in this Section 12.2.  Seller hereby authorizes the Purchasers to effect Purchases and Yield Rate selections based on telephonic notices made by any Person whom the Administrative Agent in good faith believes to be acting on behalf of Seller.  Seller agrees to deliver promptly to the Administrative Agent a written confirmation of each telephonic notice signed by an Authorized Officer of Seller; provided, however, the absence of such confirmation shall not affect the validity of such notice.  If the written confirmation differs from the action taken by the Administrative Agent, the records of the Administrative Agent shall govern absent manifest error.
Section 12.3Ratable Payments.  If any Purchaser, whether by setoff or otherwise, has payment made to it with respect to any portion of the Aggregate Unpaids owing to such Purchaser (other than payments received pursuant to Section 8.3 or 8.4) in a greater proportion than that received by any other Purchaser entitled to receive a ratable share of such Aggregate Unpaids, such Purchaser agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase for cash without recourse or warranty a portion of such Aggregate Unpaids held by the other Purchasers so that after such purchase each Purchaser will hold its ratable proportion of such Aggregate Unpaids; provided that if all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from such Purchaser, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.
Section 12.4Protection of Ownership and Security Interests.
a.Seller agrees that from time to time, at its expense, it will promptly execute and deliver all instruments and documents, and take all actions, that may be necessary or desirable, or that the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the Purchasers’ ownership of the Receivable Interests or the Administrative Agent’s (on behalf of the Purchasers) Security Interest in the Collateral, or to enable the Administrative Agent or the Purchasers to exercise and enforce their rights and remedies hereunder.  At any time after the occurrence of an Amortization Event, the Administrative Agent may, or the Administrative Agent may direct Seller or the Servicer to, notify the Obligors of Receivables, at Seller’s expense, of the ownership or Security Interests of the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Purchasers) under this Agreement and may also direct that payments of all amounts due or that become due under any or all Receivables be made directly to the Administrative Agent or its designee.  Seller or the Servicer (as applicable) shall, at any Purchaser’s request, withhold the identity of such Purchaser in any such notification.
b.If any Seller Party fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder, the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser may (but shall not be required to) perform, or cause performance of, such obligations, and the Administrative Agent’s or such Purchaser’s costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by Seller as provided in Section 8.4.  Each Seller Party irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent at any time and from time to time in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, and appoints the Administrative Agent as its attorney-in-fact, to act on behalf of such Seller Party (i) to execute on behalf of Seller as debtor and to file financing statements necessary or desirable in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the interest of the Purchasers in the Receivables, including, financing statements describing as the collateral covered thereby “all of debtor’s personal property or assets” or words to that effect, notwithstanding that such wording may be broader in scope than the Receivables described in this Agreement and (ii) to file a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement with respect to the Receivables as a financing statement in such offices as the 
49

Administrative Agent in its sole discretion deems necessary or desirable to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the interests of the Purchasers in the Receivables.  This appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.
Section 12.5Confidentiality.  
a.Each of the parties hereto shall maintain and shall cause each of its employees and officers to maintain the confidentiality of the Fee Letters and the other nonpublic, confidential or proprietary information with respect to the Originators, the Seller, the Performance Guarantor, the Administrative Agent, the Purchasers and their respective businesses obtained by it or them in connection with the structuring, negotiating and execution of the transactions contemplated herein, except that such party and its directors, officers and employees may disclose such information (i) to such party’s external accountants, attorneys, investors, potential investors and credit enhancers and the agents or advisors of such Persons, and (ii) as required by any applicable law or regulation or by any court, regulatory body or agency having jurisdiction over such party (including, without limitation, the filing of this Agreement with the SEC as an exhibit to any report filed on Form 8-K, 10-K or 10-Q under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934); and provided, further, that such party shall have no obligation of confidentiality in respect of any information which may be generally available to the public or becomes available to the public through no fault of such party.
b.Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Seller Party hereby consents to the disclosure of any nonpublic information with respect to it and any Originator (i) to each of the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers, (ii) to any prospective or actual assignee or participant of any of the Administrative Agent or the Purchasers, and (iii) by the Administrative Agent or any  Purchaser to any rating agency that rates any securities issued by such Person or its parent; provided each such Person is advised of the confidential nature of such information and, in the case of a Person described in clause (ii) above, agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 12.5.  In addition, the Administrative Agent and  each of the Purchasers may disclose any such nonpublic information pursuant to any law, rule, regulation, direction, request or order of any judicial, administrative or regulatory authority or proceedings (whether or not having the force or effect of law) although each of them shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure, to the extent permitted given the circumstances, that any such information which is so disclosed is kept confidential.
Section 12.6Limitation on Recourse.  No recourse under or with respect to any obligation, covenant or agreement (including, without limitation, the payment of any fees or any other obligations) of any Seller Party, Agent or Purchaser as contained in this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document entered into by it pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall be had against any Seller Party, Agent or Purchaser, any administrator of any Seller Party, Agent or Purchaser, or any incorporator, organizer, Affiliate, stockholder, officer, employee, director, manager, or similar Person of any Seller Party, Agent or Purchaser or of any such administrator, as such, by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, by virtue of any statute or otherwise; it being expressly agreed and understood that the agreements of such Seller Party, Agent or Purchaser contained in this Agreement and all of the other agreements, instruments and documents entered into by it pursuant hereto or in connection herewith are, in each case, solely the corporate or limited liability company obligations of such Seller Party, Agent or Purchaser, and that no personal liability whatsoever shall attach to or be incurred by any Seller Party, Agent or Purchaser, any administrator of any Seller Party, Agent or Purchaser, or any incorporator, organizer, stockholder, Affiliate, officer, employee, director, manager or similar Person of such Seller Party, Agent or Purchaser or of any such administrator, as such, or any other of them, under or by reason of any of the obligations, covenants or agreements of such Seller Party, Agent or Purchaser 
50

contained in this Agreement or in any other such instruments, documents or agreements, or that are implied therefrom, and that any and all personal liability of every such administrator of such Seller Party, Agent or Purchaser and each incorporator, organizer, stockholder, Affiliate, officer, employee, director, manager or similar Person of such Seller Party, Agent or Purchaser, of any such administrator, or any Seller Party, Agent or Purchaser, or any of them, for breaches by such Seller Party, Agent or Purchaser of any such obligations, covenants or agreements, which liability may arise either at common law or at equity, by statute or constitution, or otherwise, is hereby expressly waived as a condition of and in consideration for the execution of this Agreement.  The provisions of this Section 12.6 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF OTHER THAN SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW WHICH SHALL APPLY HERETO) EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT THE PERFECTION OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S SECURITY INTEREST IN THE COLLATERAL OR REMEDIES HEREUNDER IN RESPECT THEREOF ARE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF A JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
Section 12.8CONSENT TO JURISDICTION.  EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY UNITED STATES FEDERAL OR STATE COURT SITTING IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN, NEW YORK, IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENT EXECUTED BY SUCH PERSON PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT, AND EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN ANY SUCH COURT AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE AS TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT OR THAT SUCH COURT IS AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.  NOTHING HEREIN SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE ATENT OR THE PURCHASERS TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST ANY SELLER PARTY IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.  ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING BY ANY SELLER PARTY AGAINST THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF THE PURCHASERS OR ANY AFFILIATE THEREOF INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENT EXECUTED BY SUCH SELLER PARTY PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE BROUGHT ONLY IN A COURT IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN, NEW YORK.

Section 12.11Integration; Binding Effect; Survival of Terms.  
a.This Agreement and each other Transaction Document contain the final and complete integration of all prior expressions by the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof 
51

and shall constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof superseding all prior oral or written understandings.
b.This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns (including any trustee in bankruptcy).  This Agreement shall create and constitute the continuing obligations of the parties hereto in accordance with its terms and shall remain in full force and effect until terminated in accordance with its terms; provided, however, that the rights and remedies with respect to (i) any breach of any representation and warranty made by any Seller Party pursuant to Article V, (ii) the indemnification and payment provisions of Article VIII, and Sections 12.5 through and including 12.9 shall be continuing and shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
Section 12.11Counterparts; Severability; Section References.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement.  To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telefacsimile or electronic image scan transmission (such as a “pdf” file) will be effective to the same extent as delivery of a manually executed original counterpart of this Agreement. Any provisions of this Agreement which are prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 12.13Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs.  To the extent that the Transaction Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Hedge Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and, each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the FDIC under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Transaction Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):
In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer 
52

would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Transaction Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Transaction Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.
