ARTICLE II.

AGREEMENT TO PURCHASE, SELL AND CONTRIBUTE
Section 2.1  Purchase, Sale and Contribution.  Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, each Originator hereby sells or contributes, as applicable, to Buyer, and Buyer hereby purchases or acquires from each Originator, as applicable, all of such Originator’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Receivables and the Related Assets, in each case whether now existing or hereafter arising, acquired, or originated.
Section 2.2  Timing of Purchases.  All of the Receivables existing at the opening of each Originator’s business on the Closing Date are hereby sold or contributed, as applicable, to Buyer on such date in accordance with the terms hereof.  In respect of purchases on the Closing Date sold by such Originator hereunder, Buyer shall pay the respective Originators the applicable cash Purchase Price for the Receivables within two (2) Business Days after such creation in immediately available funds; provided, however, to the extent that Buyer does not have funds available to pay the Purchase Price due on any day in cash (such cash insufficiency being a “Deferred Payment”), then until such Deferred Payment is made in cash, the Deferred Payment shall be deemed principal, as applicable to each Originator, of the respective Subordinated Notes, subject to the limitation in Section 2.3(d) below.  On and after the Closing Date until the Purchase Termination Date, each Receivable shall be deemed to have been sold or contributed to Buyer immediately (and without further action by any Person) upon the creation or acquisition of such Receivable.  The Related Assets with respect to each Receivable shall be sold or contributed at the same time as such Receivable, whether such Related Assets exist at such time or arise, are acquired or are originated thereafter.
Section 2.3  Purchase Price.    The purchase price (“Purchase Price”) for the Receivables and the Related Assets shall equal the fair market value of the Receivables as agreed by each Originator and Buyer at the time of purchase or acquisition. 
(b)On the date of the initial purchase, CHRCI shall contribute Receivables to Buyer as a capital contribution in the amount set forth in a written notice on the date thereof from CHRCI to Buyer and Administrative Agent.
(c)Buyer shall pay the related Originator the Purchase Price with respect to each non-contributed Receivable and the Related Assets, created or acquired by such Originator on the date of purchase thereof as set forth above by transfer of funds, to the extent that Buyer has funds available for that purpose after satisfying Buyer’s obligations under the Receivables Purchase Agreement.
(d)In the case of any Originator, to the extent Buyer does not have funds available to pay the Purchase Price due on any day in cash, Buyer shall execute and deliver in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit 2.3(d), a subordinated promissory note (each, a “Subordinated Note”) in a principal amount equal to such Deferred Payment and payable to the order of such Originator, or shall increase the principal amount of any outstanding Subordinated Note to such Originator by the amount of any Deferred Payment; provided, that the aggregate principal amount of the Subordinated Notes shall not at any time exceed or be permitted to exceed the maximum amount on the Subordinated Notes that could be owed without rendering Buyer’s net worth (as calculated in accordance with GAAP consistently applied) less than the minimum net worth required under Section 7.3(j) of the Receivables Purchase Agreement.  Each Originator is hereby authorized by Buyer to endorse on the schedule attached to its Subordinated Note an appropriate notation evidencing the date and amount of each advance thereunder, as well as the date of each payment with respect thereto, 
    2

provided that the failure to make such notation shall not affect any obligation of Buyer thereunder.
(e)To the extent Buyer does not have funds available to pay the Purchase Price due on any day in cash, and any Subordinated Note may not be increased as provided in Section 2.3(d) above, CHRCI, as an Originator hereunder and as sole member of the Buyer, may elect in its sole discretion to treat CHRCI Receivables allocable to any Deferred Payment to have been transferred by CHRCI to Buyer as a capital contribution, in return for an increase in the value of the equity interest in Buyer held by CHRCI. CHRCI may also, at its option in its sole discretion, contribute cash to Buyer in return for an increase in the value of the equity interest in Buyer held by CHRCI.   For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to require CHRCI to make any capital contribution to the Buyer.  CHRCI and Buyer shall each record on its respective books and records any capital contribution made by CHRCI to Buyer promptly following its occurrence.
Section 2.4  No Recourse or Assumption of Obligations.  Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, the purchase and sale or contribution, as applicable, of Receivables and Related Assets under this Agreement shall be without recourse to any Originator.  Each Originator and Buyer intend the transactions hereunder to constitute absolute and irrevocable true sales or valid contributions of Receivables and the Related Assets by each Originator to Buyer, providing Buyer with the full risks and benefits of ownership of the Receivables and Related Assets (such that the Receivables and the Related Assets would not be property of any Originator’s estate in the event of such Originator’s bankruptcy).
None of Buyer, Administrative Agent, the Purchasers or the other Affected Parties shall have any obligation or liability under any Receivables or Related Assets, nor shall Buyer, Administrative Agent, any Purchaser or the other Affected Parties have any obligation or liability to any Obligor or other customer or client of any Originator (including any obligation to perform any of the obligations of any Originator under any Receivables or Related Assets).
ARTICLE III.

(b)Buyer and each Originator hereby grant to Master Servicer an irrevocable power of attorney, with full power of substitution, coupled with an interest, to take in the name of Buyer or such Originator, as the case may be, any and all steps which are necessary or advisable to endorse, negotiate, enforce, or otherwise realize on any writing or other right of any kind held or transmitted by Buyer or such Originator or transmitted or received by Buyer or such Originator in connection with any Receivable and any Related Assets (including under the related Records).

    3

otherwise realize on any writing or other right of any kind held or transmitted by Buyer or such Originator or transmitted or received by Buyer or such Originator in connection with any Receivable and any Related Assets (including under the related Records).
(d)Each Originator shall perform all of its obligations under the Records to the same extent as if the Receivables had not been sold or contributed, as applicable, hereunder and the exercise by each of Buyer, Master Servicer, Administrative Agent or any of their respective designees of its rights hereunder or under the Receivables Purchase Agreement shall not relieve such Originator from such obligations.
Section 3.2  Deemed Collections.    If on any day:
(i)the Unpaid Balance of any Receivable originated by any Originator is: (A) reduced or cancelled as a result of any Dilution or otherwise, (B) less than the amount included in calculating the Net Portfolio Balance for purposes of any Information Package (for any reason other than such Receivable becoming a Defaulted Receivable or due to the application of Collections received with respect to such Receivable), or (C) extended, amended or otherwise modified or waived or any term or condition of any related Contract is amended, modified or waived (except as expressly permitted under Section 8.2(b) of the Receivables Purchase Agreement); or

then, on such day, such Originator shall be deemed to have received a Collection of such Receivable:
(1)in the case of clauses (i)(A) through (B) above, in the amount of such reduction or cancellation or the difference between the actual Unpaid Balance (as determined immediately prior to the applicable event) and the amount included in respect of such Receivable in calculating such Net Portfolio Balance or, with respect to clause (i)(C) above, in the amount that such extension, modification, amendment or waiver affects the Unpaid Balance of the related Receivable in the sole determination of Buyer or its assignee; or
(2)in the case of clause (ii) above, in the amount of the entire Unpaid Balance of the relevant Receivable (as determined immediately prior to the applicable event) with respect to which such representations or warranties of any Originator are or were untrue.
Collections deemed received by any Originator under this Section 3.2(a) are herein referred to as “Deemed Collections”.
(b)Such Originator shall transfer to Buyer immediately available funds in the amount of such Deemed Collections within two (2) Business Days from the event giving rise to such Deemed Collection, or at the option of Buyer so long as no Event of Termination or Unmatured Event of Termination is continuing, the amount of such Deemed Collection may be set off against the unpaid principal balance of such Originator's Subordinated Note.
    4

Section 3.3  Actions Evidencing Purchases.    On or prior to the Closing Date, each Originator (or Master Servicer, on behalf of Originators) shall mark its records evidencing Receivables and Contracts in a form acceptable to Buyer, evidencing that the Receivables have been transferred in accordance with this Agreement and none of the Originators or Master Servicer shall change or remove such mark without the consent of Buyer and its assignee.  In addition, each Originator agrees that from time to time, at its expense, it will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action that Buyer or its assignee may request in order to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the purchases, sales and contributions hereunder, or to enable Buyer or its assigns to exercise or enforce any of their respective rights with respect to the Receivables and the Related Assets.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Originator will upon the request of Buyer or its designee:  (i) authorize and file such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto or assignments thereof, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or appropriate; and (ii) upon and after the occurrence of an Event of Termination or an Unmatured Event of Termination, mark conspicuously each Contract evidencing each Receivable with a legend, acceptable to Buyer, evidencing that the related Receivables have been sold or contributed in accordance with this Agreement.
(b)Each Originator hereby authorizes Buyer or its designee (i) to file one or more financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto and assignments thereof, relative to all or any of the Receivables and the Related Assets now existing or hereafter arising in the name of such Originator and (ii) to the extent permitted by the Receivables Purchase Agreement, to notify Obligors of the assignment of the Receivables and the Related Assets.
(c)Without limiting the generality of subsection (a) above, each Originator shall: authorize and deliver and file or cause to be filed appropriate continuation statements, not earlier than six months and not later than three months prior to the fifth anniversary of the date of filing of the financing statements filed in connection with the Closing Date or any other financing statement filed pursuant to this Agreement, if the Final Payout Date shall not have occurred.
Section 3.4  Application of Collections.  Unless Buyer instructs otherwise, any payment by an Obligor in respect of any indebtedness owed by it shall, except as otherwise specified in writing or otherwise by such Obligor, required by Law or by the underlying Contract, be applied: first, as a Collection of any Receivable or Receivables then outstanding of such Obligor, with such Receivables being paid in the order of the oldest first, and, second, to any other indebtedness of such Obligor.

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, C.H. Robinson Receivables, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Buyer”), promises to pay to [________________, a ________________] (“Company”), on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein and in the Receivables Sale Agreement referred to below, the aggregate unpaid purchase price of all Receivables and Related Assets purchased, acquired and to be purchased or acquired by Buyer pursuant to the Receivables Sale  Agreement.  Such amount as shown in the records of the Master Servicer shall be rebuttable presumptive evidence of the principal amount owing under this Note.
1.    Receivables Sale Agreement.  This note (this “Note”) is one of the Subordinated Notes described in Section 2.3(d) of, and is subject to the terms and conditions set forth in, the Receivables Sale Agreement, dated as of November 19, 2021 (as the same may be amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified in accordance with its terms, the “Receivables Sale Agreement”), among Company, as Originator, the Originators party thereto, the Master Servicer and Buyer.  Reference is hereby made to the Receivables Sale Agreement for a statement of certain other rights and obligations of Buyer and Company.  In the case of any conflict between the terms of this Note and the terms of the Receivables Sale Agreement, the terms of the Receivables Sale Agreement shall control.

“Senior Interests” means (a) the Asset Interest acquired by Administrative Agent for the benefit of Purchasers pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement, and (b) all obligations of Buyer to the Senior Interest Holders, howsoever created, arising or evidenced, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, now or hereafter existing, or due or to become due on or before the Final Maturity Date.
“Senior Interest Holders” means, collectively, each Committed Purchaser, each Conduit Purchaser, Administrative Agent and the other Affected Parties and their permitted assigns.
“Subordination Provisions” is defined in Section 7 hereof.
3.    Interest.  Subject to the Subordination Provisions, Buyer promises to pay interest on the aggregate unpaid principal amount of this Note outstanding on each day at a variable rate determined to be a fair market rate from time to time by and between Buyer and Company, with 
    Exhibit 2.3(d), Page 1

reference to market conditions, which rate shall in no instance be lower than the sum of 1%, plus the one-month LIBOR rate announced from time to time by the British Bankers Association.
4.    Interest Payment Dates.  Subject to the Subordination Provisions, Buyer shall pay accrued interest on this Note for each Settlement Period on each Settlement Date (or on such earlier date as Buyer may elect from time to time) and on the Final Maturity Date (or, if any such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day).  Buyer also shall pay accrued interest on the principal amount of each prepayment hereof on the date of each such prepayment.

Subject to the Subordination Provisions, the principal amount of and accrued interest on this Note may be prepaid on any Business Day without premium or penalty.
7.    Subordination Provisions.  Buyer covenants and agrees, and Company, by its acceptance of this Note, likewise covenants and agrees, in each case, for the benefit of the other and for the benefit of the Senior Interest Holders, that the payment of all Junior Liabilities is hereby expressly subordinated in right of payment to the payment and performance of the Senior Interests, and any payment hereunder is pari passu in right of payment and performance to all other Junior Liabilities, to the extent and in the manner set forth in the following clauses of this Section 7 (the “Subordination Provisions”):
    (a)    No payment or other distribution of Buyer’s assets of any kind or character, whether in cash, securities, or other rights or property, shall be made on account of this Note except to the extent such payment or other distribution is made pursuant to Sections 4 or 6 of this Note;
(b)    (i)  In the event of any Event of Bankruptcy involving Buyer, and (ii) on and after the occurrence of the Purchase Termination Date, the Senior Interests shall first be indefeasibly paid and performed in full and in cash before the Company shall be entitled to receive and to retain any payment or distribution in respect of this Note.  In order to implement the foregoing: (A) all payments and distributions of any kind or character in respect of this Note to which Company would be entitled except for this subsection 7(b) shall be made directly to Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Senior Interest Holders); and (B) Company hereby irrevocably agrees that Administrative Agent, in the name of Company or otherwise, may demand, sue for, collect, receive and receipt for any and all such payments or distributions, and file, prove and vote or consent in any such proceeding with respect to any and all claims of Company relating to this Note, in each case until the Senior Interests shall have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full and in cash.
(c)    In the event that Company receives any payment or other distribution of any kind or character from Buyer or from any other source whatsoever, in respect of this Note, other than as expressly permitted by the terms of this Note, such payment or other distribution shall be received in trust for the Senior Interest Holders and shall immediately be turned over in cash by the  Company to Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Senior Interest Holders) until the Senior Interests have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full and in cash.  All payments and distributions received by Administrative Agent in respect of this Note, to the extent received in or converted into cash, may be applied by Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Senior Interest Holders) first, to the payment of any and all expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and other legal expenses) paid or incurred by Administrative Agent or the Senior 
    Exhibit 2.3(c), Page 2

Interest Holders in enforcing these Subordination Provisions, or in endeavoring to collect or realize upon the Junior Liabilities, and second, any balance thereof shall, solely as between any Originator (including Company hereunder) and the Senior Interest Holders, be applied by Administrative Agent toward the payment of the Senior Interests in a manner determined by Administrative Agent to be in accordance with the Receivables Purchase Agreement; but as between Buyer and its creditors, no such payments or distributions of any kind or character shall be deemed to be payments or distributions in respect of the Senior Interests.
(d)    Upon the indefeasible payment in full and in cash of all Senior Interests, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Senior Interest Holders to receive payments or distributions from Buyer that are applicable to the Senior Interests until this Note is indefeasibly paid and performed in full in cash.
(e)    These Subordination Provisions are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Company, on the one hand, and the Senior Interest Holders, on the other hand.  Nothing contained in the Subordination Provisions or elsewhere in this Note is intended to or shall impair, as between Buyer, its creditors (other than the Senior Interest Holders) and the Company, Buyer’s obligation, which is unconditional and absolute, to pay this Note as and when the same shall become due in accordance with the terms hereof and of the Receivables Sale Agreement or to affect the relative rights of the Company and creditors of Buyer (other than the Senior Interest Holders).
(f)    Company shall not, until the Senior Interests have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full and in cash: (i) cancel, waive, forgive, transfer or assign, or commence legal proceedings to enforce or collect, or subordinate to any obligation of Buyer, howsoever created, arising or evidenced, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, or now or hereafter existing, or due or to become due, other than the Senior Interests, this Note, or any rights in respect thereof or (ii) convert this Note into an equity interest in Buyer, unless, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) above, Company shall have received the prior written consent of Administrative Agent.
(g)    Company shall not commence, or join with any other Person in commencing, any proceedings related to an Event of Bankruptcy with respect to Buyer until at least one year and one day shall have passed since the Senior Interests shall have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full and in cash.
(h)    If, at any time, any payment (in whole or in part) made with respect to any Senior Interest is rescinded or must be restored or returned by a Senior Interest Holder (whether in connection with any Event of Bankruptcy or otherwise), these Subordination Provisions shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, as though such payment had not been made.
(i)    Each of the Senior Interest Holders may, from time to time, at its sole discretion, without notice or demand to Company, and without waiving any of its rights under these Subordination Provisions, take any or all of the following actions:  (i) retain or obtain an interest in any property securing any of the Senior Interests pursuant to, and to the extent set forth in, the Transaction Documents; (ii) retain or obtain the primary or secondary obligations of any other obligor or obligors with respect to any of the Senior Interests; (iii) extend or renew for one or more periods (whether or not longer than the original period), alter or exchange any of the Senior Interests, or release or compromise any obligation of any nature with respect to any of the Senior Interests in accordance with the Transaction Documents; (iv) amend, supplement, or otherwise modify any Transaction Document in accordance with the terms thereof; and (v) release its security interest in, or surrender, release or permit any substitution or exchange for all or any part of any rights or property securing any of the Senior Interests, or extend or renew for one or more 
    Exhibit 2.3(c), Page 3

periods (whether or not longer than the original period), or release, compromise, alter or exchange any obligations of any nature of any obligor with respect to any such rights or property.
(j)    Company agrees that this Note shall be pari passu with all other Junior Liabilities.
(k)    Company hereby waives:  (i) notice of acceptance of these Subordination Provisions by any of the Senior Interest Holders; (ii) notice of the existence, creation, non-payment or non-performance of all or any of the Senior Interests; and (iii) all diligence in enforcement, collection or protection of, or realization upon the Senior Interests, or any thereof, or any security therefor.
(l)    These Subordination Provisions constitute a continuing offer from Buyer to all Persons who become the holders of, or who continue to hold, Senior Interests; and these Subordination Provisions are made for the benefit of the Senior Interest Holders, and Administrative Agent may proceed to enforce such provisions on behalf of each of such Persons.
8.    Cumulative Remedies; Amendments, Etc.  No failure or delay on the part of Company in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power or right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right.  No amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent with respect to, any provision of this Note shall in any event be effective unless (a) the same shall be in writing and signed and delivered by Buyer and Company and acknowledged and agreed to by Administrative Agent, and (b) all consents required for such actions under the Transaction Documents shall have been received by the appropriate Persons.
9.    Limitation on Interest.  Notwithstanding anything in this Note to the contrary, Buyer shall never be required to pay unearned interest on any amount outstanding hereunder, and shall never be required to pay interest on the principal amount outstanding hereunder, at a rate in excess of the maximum interest rate that may be contracted for, charged or received without violating applicable federal or state law.
10.    Negotiation.  This Note is not negotiable.
11.    Governing Law.  THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (INCLUDING SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW, BUT WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY OTHER CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS THEREOF).

Robinson Receivables, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Seller”), C.H. Robinson Worldwide, Inc., individually and as initial master Servicer (in such capacity, together with its successors and assigns in such capacity, the “Master Servicer”), the Agent and various Conduit Purchasers, Purchaser Agents and Committed Purchasers described therein (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Receivables Purchase Agreement”).  Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Agreement are used as defined in, or by reference in, the Receivables Purchase Agreement. The interpretive provisions set out in Appendix A of the Receivables Purchase Agreement shall be incorporated herein and applied in the interpretation of this Agreement.
Section 1.Undertaking.  
(a)For value received by it and its Affiliates, the Performance Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably assures and undertakes (as primary obligor and not merely as surety) for the benefit of each of the Affected Parties the due and punctual performance and observance by each Originator and the Master Servicer (and any of their respective successors and assigns in such capacity) of all their respective covenants, agreements, undertakings, indemnities and other obligations or liabilities (including, in each case, those related to any breach by any Originator or Master Servicer, as applicable, of its respective representations, warranties and covenants), whether monetary or non-monetary and regardless of the capacity in which incurred (including all of any Originator’s or Master Servicer’s payment, repurchase, Deemed Collections (including as defined in the Sale Agreement), indemnity or similar obligations), under any of the Transaction Documents (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”), irrespective of: (A) the validity, binding effect, legality, subordination, disaffirmance, enforceability or amendment, restatement, modification or supplement of, or waiver of compliance with, this Agreement, the Transaction Documents or any documents related hereto or thereto, (B) any change in the existence, formation or ownership of, or the bankruptcy or insolvency of, the Seller, any Originator, Master Servicer or any other Person, (C) any extension, renewal, settlement, compromise, exchange, waiver or release in respect of any Guaranteed Obligation (or any collateral security therefor, including the property sold, contributed (or purportedly sold or contributed) or otherwise pledged or transferred by any Originator under the Sale Agreement) or any party to this Agreement, the Transaction Documents or any related documents, (D) the existence of any claim, set-off, counterclaim or other right that the Performance Guarantor or any other Person may have against the Seller, any Originator, Master Servicer or any other Person, (E) any impossibility or impracticability of performance, illegality, force majeure, act of war or terrorism, any act of any Governmental Authority or any other circumstance or occurrence that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense available to, or provides a discharge of, the Performance Guarantor, (F) any Law affecting any term of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any Transaction Document, or rights of the Administrative Agent or any other Affected Party with respect thereto or otherwise, (G) the failure by the Administrative Agent or any Affected Party to take any steps to perfect and maintain perfected its interest in, or the impairment or release of, any Collateral, (H) any failure to obtain any authorization or approval from or other action by or to notify or file with, any Governmental Authority required in connection with the performance of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise or (I) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, the Performance Guarantor, 

any Originator, any surety or any guarantor (other than the defense of performance and/or payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations).
(b)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Performance Guarantor agrees that if any Originator or Master Servicer (or any of their respective successors and assigns in such capacity) shall fail in any manner whatsoever to perform or observe any of its respective Guaranteed Obligations when the same shall be required to be performed or observed under any applicable Transaction Document to which it is a party, then the Performance Guarantor will itself duly and punctually perform or observe or cause to be performed or observed such Guaranteed Obligations.  It shall not be a condition to the accrual of the obligation of the Performance Guarantor hereunder to perform or to observe any Guaranteed Obligation that the Administrative Agent or any other Person shall have first made any request of or demand upon or given any notice to the Performance Guarantor, the Seller, any Originator, Master Servicer or any other Person or have initiated any action or proceeding against the Performance Guarantor, the Seller, any Originator, Master Servicer or any other Person in respect thereof.  The Performance Guarantor also hereby expressly waives any defenses based on any of the provisions set forth above and all defenses it may have as a guarantor or a surety generally or otherwise based upon suretyship, impairment of collateral or otherwise in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations whether in equity or at law.  The Performance Guarantor agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be irrevocable and unconditional.  The Performance Guarantor hereby also expressly waives diligence, presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind whatsoever, as well as any requirement that the Affected Parties (or any of them) exhaust any right to take any action against the Seller, any Originator, Master Servicer or any other Person (including the filing of any claims in the event of a receivership or bankruptcy of any of the foregoing), or with respect to any collateral or collateral security at any time securing any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and hereby consents to any and all extensions of time of the due performance of any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations.  The Performance Guarantor agrees that it shall not exercise or assert any right which it may acquire by way of subrogation under this Agreement unless and until all Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full.  For the sake of clarity, and without limiting the foregoing, it is expressly acknowledged and agreed that the Guaranteed Obligations do not include the payment or guaranty of any amounts to the extent such amounts constitute recourse with respect to a Pool Receivable or Related Asset by reason of an Event of Bankruptcy or insolvency, or the financial or credit condition or financial default, of the related Obligor.
Section 2.Confirmation.  The Performance Guarantor hereby confirms that the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents have been arranged among the Seller, any Originator, the Master Servicer and the Affected Parties, as applicable, with the Performance Guarantor’s full knowledge and consent and any amendment, restatement, modification or supplement of, or waiver of compliance with, the Transaction Documents in accordance with the terms thereof by any of the foregoing shall be deemed to be with the Performance Guarantor’s full knowledge and consent.  The Performance Guarantor hereby confirms (i) that on the date hereof, it directly or indirectly owns (through one or more subsidiaries) 100% of the Voting Stock of each Originator and the Seller and (ii) that it is in the best interest of the Performance Guarantor to execute this Agreement, inasmuch as the Performance Guarantor (individually) and the Performance Guarantor and its Affiliates (collectively) will derive substantial direct and indirect benefit from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.  The Performance Guarantor agrees to promptly notify the Administrative Agent in the event that it ceases to directly or indirectly own 100% of the Voting Stock of any Originator or the Seller.
Section 3.Covenants.  The Performance Guarantor covenants and agrees that, from the date hereof until all Guaranteed Obligations are indefeasibly paid and satisfied in full, it shall observe and perform the following covenants:

Performance Guaranty

(a)Sale Treatment.  The Performance Guarantor and each Originator, on a consolidated basis, shall not account for, or otherwise treat, the transactions contemplated by the Receivables Purchase Agreement other than as a sale of Receivables or inconsistent with the interests of the Seller and the Agent in the Receivables and Collections.
(b)Mergers, Sales, Etc.  It shall not (i) consolidate or merge with or into, or sell, lease or otherwise transfer all or substantially all of its assets to, any other Person, unless (a) the Performance Guarantor is the surviving entity, (b) if the Performance Guarantor is not the surviving entity, such surviving entity assumes the obligations of the Performance Guarantor under this Agreement or (c) the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser has provided prior written consent to such consolidation, merger or sale, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, or (ii) discontinue or eliminate any business line or segment if such discontinuance or elimination could, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(c)Actions Contrary to Separateness.  It shall not take any action inconsistent with the terms of Section 7.8 of the Receivables Purchase Agreement.
(d)Information and Assistance.  It shall, from time to time, promptly at the request of the Administrative Agent (for itself or on behalf of any other Affected Party), provide information relating to its business or affairs as the Administrative Agent (for itself or on behalf of any other Affected Party) may reasonably request.

(f)Anti-Corruption Laws and Anti-Money Laundering Laws.  None of the Performance Guarantor, each Person directly or indirectly controlling the Performance Guarantor, each Person directly or indirectly controlled by the Performance Guarantor and each other Affiliate of any of the foregoing shall (i) comply with all applicable Anti-Money Laundering Laws and Anti-Corruption Laws; (ii) maintain policies and procedures reasonably designed to promote and achieve compliance with all applicable Anti-Money Laundering and Anti-Corruption Laws in all material respects; and (iii) ensure it does not use any of the Purchase or Reinvestment in violation of any Anti-Corruption Laws or Anti-Money Laundering Laws.

(b)Any payments under this Agreement shall be made in full in U.S. Dollars to the Administrative Agent in the United States without any set-off, deduction or counterclaim; and the Performance Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall not be satisfied by any tender or recovery of another currency except to the extent such tender or recovery results in receipt of the full amount of U.S. Dollars required hereunder.
(c)No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement nor consent to any departure by the Performance Guarantor therefrom shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent and the Performance Guarantor.

(g)EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT IT IRREVOCABLY (i) SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION, FIRST, OF ANY UNITED STATES FEDERAL COURT, AND SECOND, IF FEDERAL JURISDICTION IS NOT AVAILABLE, OF ANY NEW YORK STATE COURT, IN EITHER CASE SITTING IN NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT, (ii) AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED ONLY IN SUCH NEW YORK STATE OR FEDERAL COURT AND NOT IN ANY OTHER COURT, AND (iii) WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY EFFECTIVELY DO SO, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING.

Section 5.Termination of Performance Guaranty. 
(a)This Agreement and the Performance Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall remain operative and continue in full force and effect until the later of (i) the Final Payout Date, and (ii) such time as all Guaranteed Obligations are duly performed and indefeasibly paid and satisfied in full, provided, that this Agreement and the Performance Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment or other satisfaction of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the bankruptcy, insolvency, or reorganization of any Originator, Seller, Master Servicer or otherwise, as applicable, as though such payment had not been made or other satisfaction occurred, whether or not the Administrative Agent or any of the Affected Parties (or their respective assigns) are in possession of this Agreement.  To the fullest extent permitted by Law, no invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability by reason of any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar Law, or any other Law or order of any Governmental Authority thereof purporting to reduce, amend or otherwise affect the Guaranteed Obligations shall impair, affect, or be a defense to or claim against the obligations of the Performance Guarantor under this Agreement.
(b)This Agreement shall survive the insolvency of any Originator, Master Servicer, Seller, any Affected Party or any other Person and the commencement of any case or proceeding by or against any Originator, Master Servicer, Seller or any other Person under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar Law.  No automatic stay under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar Law with respect to any Originator, Master Servicer, Seller or any other Person shall postpone the obligations of the Performance Guarantor under this Agreement.
Section 6.Set-off.  Each Affected Party (and its assigns) is hereby authorized by the Performance Guarantor at any time and from time to time, without notice to the Performance Guarantor (any such notice being expressly waived by the Performance Guarantor) and to the fullest extent permitted by Law, to set-off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) and other sums at any time held by, and other indebtedness at any time owing to, any such Affected Party to or for the credit to the account of the Performance Guarantor, against any and all Guaranteed Obligations of the Performance Guarantor, now or hereafter existing under this Agreement.
Section 7.Entire Agreement; Severability; No Party Deemed Drafter. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents constitute the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the matters set forth herein.  The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by Law or any other agreement, and this Agreement shall be in addition to any other guaranty of or collateral security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations.  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.  If the obligations of the Performance Guarantor hereunder would otherwise be held or determined to be avoidable, invalid or unenforceable in any action or proceeding on account of the amount of the Performance Guarantor’s liability under this Agreement, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by the Performance Guarantor or any Affected Party, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable as determined in such action or proceeding.  Any provisions of this Agreement which are prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective only 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.  Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that no party hereto shall be deemed to be the drafter of this Agreement.

(a)all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or any other Affected Party in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and any amendment, restatement or supplement of, or consent or waivers under, this Agreement (whether or not consummated), enforcement of, or any actual or claimed breach of, or claim under, this Agreement, including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel incurred in connection therewith and all accountants’, auditors’, consultants’ and other agents’ fees and expenses incurred in connection with any of the foregoing or in advising such Persons as to their respective rights and remedies under any of the Transaction Documents; and
(b)all stamp and other similar Taxes and fees payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution, delivery, filing and recording of this Agreement, and agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and each of the other Affected Parties against any liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay in paying or omission to pay such Taxes and fees. 
Section 9.Indemnities by Performance Guarantor.  Without limiting any other rights which any Affected Party may have hereunder or under applicable Law, the Performance Guarantor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Affected Party and each of their respective Affiliates, and all successors, transferees, participants and assigns and all officers, members, managers, directors, shareholders, controlling persons, employees and agents of any of the foregoing (each an “Indemnified Party”) forthwith and on demand from and against any and all damages, losses, claims, liabilities and related costs and expenses (including all filing fees, if any), including reasonable attorneys’, consultants’ and accountants’ fees and disbursements (all of the foregoing being collectively referred to as “Indemnified Amounts”) incurred by any of them and arising out of, relating to, resulting from or in connection with: (i) any breach by the Performance Guarantor of any of its obligations or duties under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party in any capacity; (ii) the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by the Performance Guarantor in any of its capacities under the Receivables Purchase Agreement and any other Transaction Document to which it is a party in any capacity or in any certificate or statement delivered pursuant hereto or to any other Transaction Document to which it is a party in any capacity; (iii) the failure of any information provided to any such Indemnified Party by, or on behalf of, the Performance Guarantor, in any capacity, to be true and correct; (iv) the material misstatement of fact or the omission of a material fact or any fact necessary to make the statements contained in any information provided to any such Indemnified Party by, or on behalf of, the Performance Guarantor, in any capacity, not materially misleading; (v) any negligence or misconduct on the Performance Guarantor’s part arising out of, relating to, in connection with, or affecting any transaction contemplated by this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; (vi) the failure by the Performance Guarantor to comply with any applicable Law, rule or regulation with respect to this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby, any other Transaction Document to which it is a party in any capacity, the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise or (vii) the failure of this Agreement to constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Performance Guarantor, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms; provided, however, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9, Indemnified Amounts shall be excluded solely to the extent determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Indemnified Party.
