W I T N E S S E T H:

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements herein contained, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I
THE CREDIT

Section 1.1. The Facility. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Borrower (or the Servicer on the Borrower’s behalf) may from time to time during the Revolving Period request Advances by delivering a Borrowing Request to the Agent in accordance with Section 2.1. Upon receipt of a copy of each Borrowing Request from the Borrower or Servicer, the Agent shall advise the Borrower not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the Business Day following such receipt whether XX XXXX and/or the Liquidity Banks will fund a Loan (or Loans) in the aggregate amount of the requested Advance, and in the event that XX XXXX elects not to make any such Loan to the Borrower, each of the Liquidity Banks severally agrees to make its Ratable Share of such Loan to the Borrower, on the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, provided that at no time may the aggregate principal amount of XX XXXX’x and the Liquidity Banks’ Loans at any one time outstanding exceed the lesser of (i) the aggregate amount of the Liquidity Banks’ Commitments, and (ii) the Borrowing Base (such lesser amount, the “Allocation Limit”). If the Agent advises the Borrower that XX XXXX elects not to fund a Loan, the Borrower or Servicer may rescind the Borrowing Request. Each Loan shall be in the minimum amount of $1,000,000 or a larger integral multiple of $500,000. In no event may the aggregate principal amount of the Advances hereunder exceed the lesser of (x) the Aggregate Commitment, or (y) the Borrowing Base. All Liquidity Banks’ Commitments shall terminate on the Termination Date. Each of the Loans, and all other Obligations of the Borrower, shall be secured by the Collateral as provided in Article IX.

Section 1.2. Funding Mechanics; Liquidity Fundings. (a) Each Advance hereunder shall consist of Loans made from XX XXXX and/or the Liquidity Banks.

(b) If a Liquidity Bank fails to transfer to the Agent its full Ratable Share of any Loan when required by Section 1.1 (the aggregate amount not made available to the Agent by each

such Liquidity Bank being the “Unpaid Amount”), then, upon notice from the Agent by not later than 1:15 p.m. (Chicago time), each Liquidity Bank not owing an Unpaid Amount shall transfer to the Agent, by not later than 1:45 p.m. (Chicago time), an amount equal to the lesser of such Liquidity Bank’s proportionate share (based on its Commitment divided by the Commitments of all Liquidity Banks that have not so failed to pay their full Ratable Share) of the Unpaid Amount and its Commitment. If the Agent does not then receive the Unpaid Amount in full, upon notice from the Agent by not later than 2:00 p.m. (Chicago time) on such day, each Liquidity Bank that has not failed to fund any part of its obligations on such day under this Section 1.2 shall pay to the Agent, by not later than 2:30 p.m. (Chicago time), its proportionate share (determined as described above) of the amount of such remaining deficiency up to the amount of its unused Commitment. Any Liquidity Bank that fails to make a payment under this Section 1.2 on the date of a Liquidity Funding shall pay on demand to each other Liquidity Bank that makes a payment under this subsection (b) the amount paid by it to cover such failure, together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such payment was made until the date such other Liquidity Bank has been paid such amount in full, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus two percent (2%) per annum. In addition, without prejudice to any other rights XX XXXX may have under applicable law, any Liquidity Bank that has failed to transfer to the Agent under Section 1.1 its full Ratable Share of any Loan shall pay on demand to XX XXXX the difference between such unpaid Ratable Share of such Loan and the amount paid by other Liquidity Banks or the Agent to cover such failure, together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such Ratable Share of such Loan was due until the date paid, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus two percent (2%) per annum.

(c) While it is the intent of XX XXXX to fund each requested Advance through the issuance of Commercial Paper Notes, the parties acknowledge that if XX XXXX is unable, or determines that it is undesirable, to issue Commercial Paper Notes to fund all or any portion of the Loans, or is unable to repay such Commercial Paper Notes upon the maturity thereof, XX XXXX may put all or any portion of its Loans to the Liquidity Banks at any time pursuant to the Liquidity Agreement to finance or refinance the necessary portion of its Loans through a Liquidity Funding to the extent available. The Liquidity Fundings may be Alternate Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans, or a combination thereof, selected by the Borrower in accordance with Article II. Regardless of whether a Liquidity Funding constitutes an assignment of a Loan or the sale of one or more participations therein, each Liquidity Bank participating in a Liquidity Funding shall have the rights of a “Lender” hereunder with the same force and effect as if it had directly made a Loan to the Borrower in the amount of its Liquidity Funding.

(d) Nothing herein shall be deemed to commit XX XXXX to make Loans. Nothing herein shall be deemed to give the Borrower the right to select Eurodollar Loans or Alternate Base Rate Loans for any Advance.

Section 1.3. Interest Rates. (a) (i) Borrower shall pay CP Costs with respect to the principal balance of XX XXXX’x Loans from time to time outstanding. Each Loan of XX XXXX that is funded substantially with Pooled Commercial Paper will accrue CP Costs each day on a pro rata basis, based upon the percentage share that the principal in respect of such Loan represents in relation to all assets held by XX XXXX and funded substantially with related Pooled Commercial Paper. The Agent will notify the Borrower promptly after the commencement of

any period during which CP Costs are calculated pursuant to the last sentence of the definition thereof, and will attempt to give prior notice if reasonably practicable under the circumstances.

(ii) Not later than the third Business Day immediately preceding each Reporting Date, XX XXXX shall calculate the aggregate amount of CP Costs applicable to its CP Rate Loans for the Settlement Period then most recently ended and shall notify Borrower of such aggregate amount.

(b) Each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from and including the first day of the Interest Period applicable thereto selected in accordance with Article II of this Agreement to (but not including) the last day of such Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the applicable Eurodollar Rate (Reserve Adjusted) for such Interest Period plus (ii) the Bank Rate Spread.

(c) Each Alternate Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from and including the date such Loan is made to but excluding the date it is paid at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate for such day. Changes in the rate of interest on Alternate Base Rate Loans will take effect simultaneously with each change in the Alternate Base Rate.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Sections 1.3(a), (b) or (c), upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, and during the continuance thereof, all Obligations shall bear interest, payable upon demand, at the Default Rate.

(e) Interest at any of the aforementioned rates shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year. Interest shall be payable for the day a Loan is made but not for the day of any payment on the amount paid if payment is received prior to noon (local time) at the place of payment. If any payment of principal of or interest on a Loan shall become due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of a principal payment, such extension of time shall be included in computing interest in connection with such payment.

Section 1.4. Payment Dates; Noteless Agreement. (a) On each Settlement Date, Borrower shall pay to the Agent (for the benefit of XX XXXX) an aggregate amount equal to all accrued and unpaid CP Costs (to the extent allocated to the Borrower in accordance with Section 1.3(a)(i)) in respect of the principal associated with all CP Rate Loans for the Settlement Period then most recently ended in accordance with Article II. The principal on each CP Rate Loan shall be payable on and after the Termination Date as and when Collections are received.

(b) The Borrower promises to pay each Eurodollar Loan on the last day of its Interest Period.

(c) The Borrower promises to pay each Alternate Base Rate Loan, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, on or before the earlier to occur of (i) the Termination Date, and (ii) refinancing of such Loan with a CP Rate Loan or a Eurodollar Loan.

(d) The Borrower promises to pay all accrued and unpaid interest on each Loan (other than a CP Rate Loan) on its applicable Interest Payment Date.

(e) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder. Upon request of the Borrower or the Agent, such Lender will confirm the outstanding principal balances of its Loans and the amount of any accrued and unpaid interest thereon. The entries maintained in the accounts maintained pursuant to this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the Obligations therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Obligations in accordance with their terms.

Section 1.5. Prepayments. Subject, in the case of CP Rate Loans and Eurodollar Loans, to the funding indemnification provisions of Section 4.3:

(a) The Borrower may from time to time prepay, without penalty or premium, all outstanding Loans, or, in a minimum aggregate amount of $2,000,000 (or a larger integral multiple of $1,000,000), any portion of the outstanding Loans upon two Business Days’ prior written notice to the Agent (each, a “Prepayment Notice”), provided that each such prepayment of principal is accompanied by a payment of all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and is made ratably amongst the Lenders; it being understood that the Borrower, in its discretion, may designate the outstanding Loans to which the Agent will apply each such prepayment or portion thereof, subject to, in the case of CP Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans, the funding indemnification provisions of Section 4.3 hereof;

(b) If on any Business Day, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of XX XXXX’x Loans and the Liquidity Fundings made by the Liquidity Banks exceeds the Allocation Limit, the Borrower shall prepay such Loans, subject, in the case of CP Rate Loans and Eurodollar Loans, to the funding indemnification provision of Section 4.3 but otherwise without premium or penalty, by initiating a wire transfer to the Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day thereafter in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess, together with interest accrued and to accrue on the amount prepaid; and

(c) Upon receipt of any wire transfer pursuant to Section 1.5(b), the Agent shall initiate a wire transfer to the Lenders of their respective shares thereof not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date when received.

(d) Upon the occurrence of a Credit Event, the Agent shall have the right (x) to declare that the Termination Date has occurred, whereupon the Aggregate Commitment shall terminate and all Collections shall be allocated and distributed pursuant to Section 3.2(b) hereof (the “Credit Event Amortization Option”) or (y) to require the Borrower to pay additional interest of 2.0% per annum on the principal amount of any Loan (the “Additional Interest Option”). Within ten (10) days of the occurrence of a Credit Event, the Borrower will deliver a notice (the “Credit Event Amortization Notice”) to the Agent describing such event. Promptly after the occurrence of the Credit Event, the Agent will elect the Credit Event Amortization Option or the Additional Interest Option, and the Agent shall deliver a notice (the “Credit Event

Election Notice”) to the Borrower informing the Borrower of such election. If the Agent elects the Credit Event Amortization Option, then on the date of delivery of the Credit Event Notice, the Agent shall allocate and distribute all Collections pursuant to Section 3.2(b) and on the earlier of (A) the date of such distribution and (B) the date the Borrower receives the Credit Event Election Notice, the Aggregate Commitment shall automatically terminate. If the Agent elects the Additional Interest Option, then from the date of the occurrence of such Credit Event, the Borrower shall pay interest on the principal amount of any Loan at a rate per annum equal at all times to 2.0% per annum above the rate per annum required to be paid on such Loan pursuant to Section 1.3.

Section 1.6. Reductions in Aggregate Commitment. The Borrower may permanently reduce the Aggregate Commitment in whole, or ratably in part, in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 (or a larger integral multiple of $1,000,000), upon at least five (5) Business Days’ written notice to the Agent (each, a “Commitment Reduction Notice”), provided, however, that (a) the amount of the Aggregate Commitment may not be reduced below the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Advances, and (b) the amount of the Aggregate Commitment may not be reduced below $5,000,000 unless the Aggregate Commitment is terminated in full. All accrued and unpaid fees shall be payable on the effective date of any termination of the Aggregate Commitment. Each Commitment Reduction Notice shall be irrevocable once delivered to the Agent.

Section 1.7. Requests for Increases in Aggregate Commitment. The Borrower may from time to time request increases in the Aggregate Commitment in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 (or a larger integral multiple of $1,000,000), upon at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Agent, which notice shall specify the amount of and proposed effective date for any such requested increase (each, a “Commitment Increase Request”). If each of the Lenders agrees to the requested increase by notifying the Agent and the Borrower in writing of their concurrence, such increase shall be made to the Commitments of the Liquidity Banks, ratably in accordance with their respective Ratable Shares as of the effective date specified in the Commitment Increase Request. If less than all of the Lenders agree to such increase, the amount of the Aggregate Commitment shall remain unchanged.

Section 1.8. Extension of the Scheduled Termination Date. Provided that no Event of Default exists and is continuing, the Borrower may request an extension of the Scheduled Termination Date by submitting a request for an extension (each, an “Extension Request”) to the Agent no more than sixty (60) days prior to the Scheduled Termination Date then in effect. The Extension Request must specify the new Scheduled Termination Date requested by the Borrower and the date (which must be at least thirty (30) days after the Extension Request is delivered to the Agent) as of which the Agent, the Lenders and the Liquidity Banks must respond to the Extension Request (the “Response Date”). The new Scheduled Termination Date shall be no more than 364 days after the Scheduled Termination Date in effect at the time the Extension Request is received, including the Scheduled Termination Date as one of the days in the calculation of the days elapsed. Promptly upon receipt of an Extension Request, the Agent shall notify XX XXXX and the Liquidity Banks of the contents thereof and shall request each such Person to approve the Extension Request. Each Lender and Liquidity Bank approving the Extension Request shall deliver its written approval to the Agent no later than the Response Date, whereupon the Agent shall notify the Borrower within one (1) Business Day thereafter as

to whether all of the Lenders have approved the Extension Request. If all of the Lenders have approved the Extension Request, the Scheduled Termination Date specified in the Extension Request shall become effective on the existing Scheduled Termination Date, and the Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the new Scheduled Termination Date. If all of the Lenders do not unanimously agree to an Extension Request, the Scheduled Termination Date shall remain unchanged.

Section 1.9. Distribution of Certain Notices; Notification of Interest Rates. Promptly after receipt thereof, the Agent will notify XX XXXX and the Liquidity Banks of the contents of each Information Package, Borrowing Request, Extension Request, Commitment Reduction Notice, Prepayment Notice, Commitment Increase Request or notice of default received by it from the Borrower or the Servicer hereunder. In addition, the Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders and the Borrower of each determination of and change in Interest Rates.

ARTICLE II
BORROWING AND PAYMENT MECHANICS; CERTAIN COMPUTATIONS

Section 2.1. Method of Borrowing. The Borrower (or the Servicer on the Borrower’s behalf) shall give the Agent irrevocable notice in the form of Exhibit 2.1 hereto (each, a “Borrowing Request”) not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) at least two Business Days before the Borrowing Date of each Advance. On each Borrowing Date, each Lender shall make available its Loan or Loans in immediately available funds to the Agent by initiating a wire transfer in such amount not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time). Subject to its receipt of such wire transfers, the Agent will initiate a wire transfer of the funds so received from the Lenders to the Borrower at the account specified in its Borrowing Request not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the applicable Borrowing Date. Neither the Borrower, nor the Servicer on the Borrower’s behalf, may deliver more than four (4) Borrowing Requests in any month.

Section 2.2. Selection of Interest Periods for Eurodollar Loans. If the Borrower has been informed by the Agent that CP Rate Loans are not available, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Borrower or the Servicer in its Borrowing Request may request Interest Periods for Eurodollar Loans from time to time to apply to each Lender’s Eurodollar Loans; provided, however, that (i) at least one Interest Period shall mature on each Settlement Date, and (ii) no Interest Period which began prior to the Scheduled Termination Date shall extend beyond the Scheduled Termination Date.

While the Agent will use reasonable efforts to accommodate the Borrower’s or the Servicer’s requests for Interest Periods prior to an Event of Default, the Agent shall have the right to subdivide any requested Eurodollar Loan into one or more Eurodollar Loans of different Interest Periods, or, if the requested period is not feasible, to suggest an alternative Interest Period, provided that not less than $1,000,000 of principal may be allocated to any Interest Period of any Lender, and no Alternate Base Rate Loan may have a principal amount of less than $1,000,000.

The Borrower (or the Servicer on the Borrower’s behalf) may not request an Interest Period for a Eurodollar Loan unless it shall have given the Agent written notice of its desire

therefor not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the first day of the desired Interest Period. Accordingly, all Liquidity Fundings shall initially be Alternate Base Rate Loans.

Unless the Agent shall have received written notice by 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the last day of an Interest Period that the Borrower intends to reduce the aggregate principal amount of the Eurodollar Loans outstanding from the Liquidity Banks, each of the Liquidity Banks shall be entitled to assume that the Borrower desires to refinance its maturing Eurodollar Loans on the last day of such Interest Period with Eurodollar Loans with an Interest Period of one (1) month.

The Agent acknowledges and agrees that a Borrowing Request shall not be required in connection with the refinancing on the last day of an Interest Period of maturing Eurodollar Loans.

If the Agent or any Liquidity Bank determines (i) that maintenance of any Eurodollar Loan would violate any applicable law or regulation, (ii) that deposits of a type and maturity appropriate to match fund any of such Liquidity Bank’s Eurodollar Loans are not available or (iii) that the maintenance of any Eurodollar Loans will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost of such Liquidity Bank of funding Eurodollar Loans, then the Agent, upon the direction of such Liquidity Bank, shall suspend the availability of future Eurodollar Loans until such time as the Agent or applicable Liquidity Bank provides notice that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, and, if required by any applicable law or regulation, terminate any outstanding Eurodollar Loan so affected. All Loans allocated to any such terminated Eurodollar Loan shall be reallocated to an Alternative Base Rate Loan.

Section 2.3. Computation of Concentration Limits and Unpaid Balance. The Obligor Concentration Limits and the aggregate Unpaid Balance of Receivables of each Obligor and its Affiliated Obligors (if any) shall be calculated as if each such Obligor and its Affiliated Obligors were one Obligor.

Section 2.4. Maximum Interest Rate. No provision of this Agreement shall require the payment or permit the collection of interest in excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law.

Section 2.5. Payments and Computations, Etc. (a) Payments. The Borrower or the Servicer, as the case may be, shall initiate a wire transfer of immediately available funds of all amounts to be paid or deposited by the Borrower or the Servicer to the Agent or any of the Lenders (other than amounts payable under Section 4.2) no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the day when due in lawful money of the United States of America to the Agent at its address specified in Schedule 14.2, and, to the extent such payment is for the account of a Lender, the Agent shall promptly disburse such funds to the appropriate Lender.

(b) Late Payments. To the extent permitted by law, upon demand, the Borrower or the Servicer, as applicable, shall pay to the Agent for the account of each Person to whom payment of any Obligation is due, interest on all amounts not paid or deposited by 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date when due (without taking into account any applicable grace

period) at the Default Rate as specified in Section 10.1(a), provided, however, that no such interest rate shall at any time exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law.

(c) Method of Computation. All computations of interest, Servicer’s Fee, any per annum fees payable under Section 4.1 and any other per annum fees payable by the Borrower to the Lenders, the Servicer or the Agent under the Loan Documents shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) elapsed.

(d) Avoidance or Recission of Payments. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, no payment of any Obligation shall be considered to have been paid if at any time such payment is rescinded or must be returned for any reason.

Section 2.6. Non-Receipt of Funds by the Agent. Unless a Lender notifies the Agent prior to the date and time on which it is scheduled to fund a Loan that it does not intend to fund, the Agent may assume that such funding will be made and may, but shall not be obligated to, make the amount of such Loan available to the intended recipient in reliance upon such assumption. If such Lender has not in fact funded its Loan proceeds to the Agent, the recipient of such payment shall, on demand by the Agent, repay to the Agent the amount so made available together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available by the Agent until the date the Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate for such day.

ARTICLE III
SETTLEMENTS

Section 3.1. Reporting. (a) Information Packages. On the 15th Business Day after each Cut-Off Date hereafter (each, a “Reporting Date”), the Servicer shall deliver to the Agent, a report in the form of Exhibit 3.1(a) (each, an “Information Package”) accompanied by an electronic file in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Agent; provided, however, that if an Event of Default shall exist and be continuing, the Agent may request that a computation of the Borrowing Base be made more frequently than monthly but no more frequently than once per day.

(b) Interest; Other Amounts Due. At or before 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the Business Day before each Settlement Date, the Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Servicer of (i) the aggregate principal balance of all Loans made by the Lenders that are then outstanding, and (ii) the aggregate amount of all principal, interest and fees that will be due and payable by the Borrower to the Agent for the account of the Agent or the Lenders on such Settlement Date.

(i) first, to the Lenders (ratably, based on their Ratable Share) until all Loans of, and interest due but not already paid to, the Lenders have been paid in full;

(ii) second, to the Lenders until all other amounts owed to the Lenders have been paid in full;

(a) the Unpaid Balance of any Receivable is reduced as a result of any defective or rejected goods or services, any cash discount or any other adjustment by any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof, or as a result of any tariff or other governmental or regulatory action, or

(b) the Unpaid Balance of any Receivable is reduced or canceled as a result of a setoff in respect of any claim by the Obligor thereof (whether such claim arises out of the same or a related or an unrelated transaction), or

then, on such day, the Borrower shall be deemed to have received a Collection of such Receivable (1) in the case of clauses (a)-(d) above, in the amount of such reduction or cancellation or the difference between the actual Unpaid Balance and the amount included in calculating such Net Pool Balance, as applicable; and (2) in the case of clause (e) above, in the amount of the Unpaid Balance of such Receivable.

FEES AND YIELD PROTECTION

Section 4.1. Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Agent and the Lenders certain fees from time to time in amounts and payable on such dates as are set forth in the Fee Letter (including the Facility Fees, the Program Fees and the Structuring Fee).

Section 4.2. Yield Protection. If (i) a change to Regulation D or (ii) any Regulatory Change, in either case, occurring after the date hereof:

(a) shall subject an Affected Party to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to its Obligations or, as applicable, its Commitment or its commitment under any Liquidity Agreement, or shall change the basis of taxation of payments to the Affected Party of any Obligations, owed to or funded in whole or in part by it or any other amounts due under this Agreement in respect of its Obligations or, as applicable, its Commitment or its commitment under any Liquidity Agreement except for (1) taxes based on, or measured by, net income, or changes in the rate of tax on or determined by reference to the overall net income, of such Affected Party, (2) franchise taxes, taxes on, or in the nature of, doing business taxes or capital taxes, or (3) withholding taxes required

for payments made to any foreign entity which, at the time such foreign entity issues its Commitment or Liquidity Commitment or becomes an assignee of a Lender hereunder, fails to deliver to the Agent and the Borrower an accurate IRS Form W-8 BEN or W-8 ECI, as applicable; or

(b) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including, without limitation, any reserve imposed by the Federal Reserve Board, but excluding any reserve included in the determination of interest), special deposit or similar requirement against assets of any Affected Party, deposits or obligations with or for the account of any Affected Party or with or for the account of any affiliate (or entity deemed by the Federal Reserve Board to be an affiliate) of any Affected Party, or credit extended by any Affected Party; or

(d) shall impose any other condition affecting any Obligation owned or funded in whole or in part by any Affected Party, or its rights or obligations, if any, to make Loans or Liquidity Fundings; or

(e) shall change the rate for, or the manner in which the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (or a successor thereto) assesses deposit insurance premiums or similar charges;

and the result of any of the foregoing is or would be:

(x) to increase the cost to or to impose a cost on (I) an Affected Party funding or making or maintaining any Loan, any Liquidity Funding, or any commitment of such Affected Party with respect to any of the foregoing, or (II) any Agent for continuing its or the Borrower’s relationship with any Affected Party, in each case, in an amount deemed to be material by such Affected Party,

(y) to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by an Affected Party under this Agreement or under the Liquidity Agreement, or

(z) to reduce the rate of return on such Affected Party’s capital as a consequence of its Commitment, its Liquidity Commitment or the Loans made by it to a level below that which such Affected Party could have achieved but for the occurrence of such circumstances,

then, within thirty (30) days after demand by such Affected Party (which demand shall be accompanied by a certificate setting forth, in reasonable detail, the basis of such demand and the methodology for calculating, and the calculation of, the amounts claimed by the Affected Party), the Borrower shall pay directly to such Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Party for such actual additional cost, actual increased cost or actual reduction.

(f) Each Affected Party will promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent of any event of which it has knowledge (including any future event that, in the judgment of such Affected Party, is reasonably certain to occur) which will entitle such Affected Party to compensation pursuant to this Section 4.2; provided, however, no failure to give or delay in giving such notification shall adversely affect the rights of any Affected Party to such compensation.

(g) In determining any amount provided for or referred to in this Section 4.2, an Affected Party may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods (consistent with its ordinary business practices) that it (in its reasonable discretion) shall deem applicable. Any Affected Party when making a claim under this Section 4.2 shall submit to the Borrower the above-referenced certificate as to such actual increased cost or actual reduced return (including calculation thereof in reasonable detail), which statement shall, in the absence of demonstrable error, be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower.

(h) Each of the Lenders agrees, and will require each Affected Party to agree that, with reasonable promptness after an officer of such Lender or such Affected Party responsible for administering the Transaction Documents becomes aware that it has become an Affected Party under this Section 4.2, is entitled to receive payments under this Section 4.2, or is or has become subject to U.S. withholding taxes payable by any Loan Party in respect of its investment hereunder, it will, to the extent not inconsistent with any internal policy of such Person or any applicable legal or regulatory restriction, (i) use all reasonable efforts to make, fund or maintain its commitment or investment hereunder through another branch or office of such Affected Party, or (ii) take such other reasonable measures, if, as a result thereof, the circumstances which would cause such Person to be an Affected Party under this Section 4.2 would cease to exist, or the additional amounts which would otherwise be required to be paid to such Person pursuant to this Section 4.2 would be reduced, or such withholding taxes would be reduced, and if the making, funding or maintaining of such commitment or investment through such other office or in accordance with such other measures, as the case may be, would not otherwise adversely affect such commitment or investment or the interests of such Person; provided that, such Person will not be obligated to utilize such other lending office pursuant to this Section 4.2 unless the Borrower agrees to pay all incremental expenses incurred by such Person as a result of utilizing such other office as described in clause (i) above. For the avoidance of doubt, any interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51 by the Financial Accounting Standards Board which becomes applicable to the Liquidity Banks shall constitute a Regulatory Change subject to this Section 4.2.

Section 4.3. Funding Losses. In the event that any Lender shall actually incur any actual loss or expense (including any actual loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to make any Loan or any Liquidity Funding, as applicable, or maintain any Loan or Liquidity Funding, as applicable) as a result of (i) any payment of principal with respect to such Lender’s Loan being made on any day other than a Settlement Date or the scheduled last day of an applicable Interest Period with respect thereto, as applicable (it being understood that the foregoing shall not apply to any Alternate Base Rate Loans), or (ii) any Loan not being made in accordance with a request therefor under Section 2.1, then, upon written notice from the Agent to the Borrower and the

Servicer, the Borrower shall pay to the Servicer and the Servicer shall pay to the Agent for the account of such Lender the amount of such actual loss or expense. Such written notice (which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis to the loss or expense and shall include the methodology for calculating, and the calculation of, the amount of such actual loss or expense, in reasonable detail) shall, in the absence of demonstrable error or unreasonable assumption, methodology or allocations, be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower and the Servicer.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless the Agent gives notice to the Borrower and the Servicer that it is obligated to pay an amount pursuant to this Section 4.3 within one year after the date the Lender obtained knowledge of the respective actual loss or expense, then such Lender shall only be entitled to be compensated for such actual loss or expense as are incurred or suffered on or after the date which occurs one year prior to the Agent giving notice to the Borrower and the Servicer unless such loss or expense is incurred on a retroactive basis, in which case, such Lender shall be entitled to be compensated for all loss and expense provided the Agent or such Lender gives notice within one year from the date of such retroactive change. If the Borrower pays any additional amount under this Section 4.3 to a Lender and such Lender determines that it has actually received or realized in connection therewith any refund or any reduction of, or credit against its tax liabilities in or with respect to the taxable year in which the additional amount is paid (a “Tax Benefit”), such Lender shall pay to the Borrower an amount that such Lender shall determine is equal to the net benefit, after tax, which was obtained by such Lender in such year as a consequence of such Tax Benefit; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 4.3 shall require any Lender to (i) seek a Tax Benefit or (ii) disclose any confidential information to the Borrower or Servicer (including, without limitation, its tax returns).

Therefore, the Borrower shall, from the date hereof until the Final Payout Date, take all steps specifically required by this Agreement or reasonably required by the Agent to continue the Borrower’s identity as a separate legal entity and to make it apparent to third Persons that the Borrower is an entity with assets and liabilities distinct from those of its Affiliates, and is not a division of Performance Guarantor or any other Person. Without limiting the foregoing, the Borrower will, from the date hereof until the Final Payout Date, take such actions as shall be required in order that:

(a) The Borrower will be a limited purpose company whose primary activities are restricted in its organizational documents to purchasing or otherwise acquiring from Seller, owning, holding, granting security interests in the Collateral, entering into agreements for the financing and servicing of the Receivables, and conducting such other activities as it deems necessary or appropriate to carry out its primary activities;

(e) The Borrower will contract with the Servicer to perform for the Borrower all operations required on a daily basis to service the Collateral. The Borrower will pay the Servicer the Servicer’s Fee pursuant hereto. The Borrower will not incur any material indirect or overhead expenses for items shared with Performance Guarantor (or any other Affiliate thereof) which are not reflected in the Servicer’s Fee. To the extent, if any, that the Borrower (or any other Affiliate thereof) shares items of expenses not reflected in the Servicer’s Fee, for legal, auditing and other professional services and directors’ fees, such expenses will be allocated to the extent practical on the basis of actual use or the value of services rendered, and otherwise on a basis reasonably related to the actual use or the value of services rendered, it being understood that Performance Guarantor shall pay all expenses relating to the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, legal, rating agency and other fees;

(f) The Borrower’s operating expenses will not be paid by any other Loan Party or other Affiliate of the Borrower;

(g) The Borrower will have its own stationery;

(h) The books of account, financial reports and corporate records of the Borrower will be maintained separately from those of Performance Guarantor and each other Affiliate of the Borrower;

(i) Any financial statements of any Loan Party or Affiliate thereof which are consolidated to include the Borrower will contain detailed notes clearly stating that (A) all of the Borrower’s assets are owned by the Borrower, and (B) the Borrower is a separate corporate entity with its own separate creditors that will be entitled to be satisfied out of the Borrower’s assets prior to any value in the Borrower becoming available to the Borrower’s equity holders; and the accounting records and the published financial statements of the Seller will clearly show that, for accounting purposes, the Receivables and Related Assets have been sold by the Seller to the Borrower;

(j) The Borrower’s assets will be maintained in a manner that facilitates their identification and segregation from those of the Servicer and the other Affiliates;

(k) Each Affiliate of the Borrower will strictly observe corporate formalities in its dealings with the Borrower, and, except as permitted pursuant to this Agreement with respect to Collections, funds or other assets of the Borrower will not be commingled with those of any of its Affiliates;

(l) No Affiliate of the Borrower will maintain joint bank accounts with the Borrower or other depository accounts with the Borrower to which any such Affiliate (other than in the Borrower’s or such Affiliate’s existing or future capacity as the Servicer hereunder or under the Purchase and Sale Agreement) has independent access, provided that prior to demand by the Agent pursuant to Section 7.1(i) to establish a segregated Collection Account, Collections may be deposited into general accounts of Performance Guarantor, subject to the obligations of the Servicer hereunder;

(m) No Affiliate of the Borrower shall, directly or indirectly, name the Borrower or enter into any agreement to name the Borrower as a direct or contingent beneficiary or loss payee on any insurance policy covering the property of any Affiliate of the Borrower;

(n) Each Affiliate of the Borrower will maintain arm’s length relationships with the Borrower, and each Affiliate of the Borrower that renders or otherwise furnishes services or merchandise to the Borrower will be compensated by the Borrower at market rates for such services or merchandise;

(o) No Affiliate of the Borrower will be, nor will it hold itself out to be, responsible for the debts of the Borrower or the decisions or actions in respect of the daily business and affairs of the Borrower.

(p) The Borrower will keep correct and complete books and records of account and minutes of the meetings and other proceedings of its member(s) and board of managers, and the resolutions, agreements and other instruments of the Borrower will be continuously maintained as official records by the Borrower; and

(q) Each of the Borrower, on the one hand, and the Seller and the Originator, on the other hand, will conduct its business solely in its own corporate name and in such a separate manner so as not to mislead others with whom they are dealing.

ARTICLE VIII
ADMINISTRATION AND COLLECTION

Section 8.1. Designation of Servicer. (a) Seller as Initial Servicer. The servicing, administering and collection of the Receivables shall be conducted by the Person designated as Servicer hereunder from time to time in accordance with this Section 8.1. Until the Agent gives to Seller a Successor Notice (as defined in Section 8.1(b)), Seller is hereby designated as, and hereby agrees to perform the duties and obligations of, Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof.

(b) Successor Notice; Servicer Transfer Events. Upon Seller’s receipt of a notice from the Agent following a Servicer Transfer Event of the designation of a new Servicer (a “Successor Notice”), Seller agrees that it will terminate its activities as Servicer hereunder in a manner that will facilitate the transition of the performance of such activities to the new Servicer, and the Agent (or the designee of the Agent) shall assume each and all of Seller’s obligations to service and administer such Receivables, on the terms and subject to the conditions herein set forth, and Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts to assist the Agent (or the Agent’s designee) in assuming such obligations. Without limiting the foregoing, Seller agrees, at its expense, to take all actions necessary to provide the new Servicer with access to all computer software necessary to generate reports useful in collecting or billing Receivables, solely for use in collecting and billing Receivables. If Seller disputes the occurrence of a Servicer Transfer Event, Seller may take appropriate action to resolve such dispute; provided that Seller must terminate its activities hereunder as Servicer and allow the newly designated Servicer to perform such activities on the date specified by the Agent as described above, notwithstanding the commencement or continuation of any proceeding to resolve the aforementioned dispute, if the Agent reasonably determines, in good faith, that such termination is necessary or advisable to protect the Secured Parties’ interests hereunder.

(c) Subcontracts. So long as Seller is acting as the Servicer, it may subcontract with the Originator for servicing, administering or collecting all or any portion of the Receivables, provided, however, that no such subcontract shall relieve Seller of its primary liability for performance of its duties as Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof and any such subservicing arrangement may be terminated at the request of the Agent at any time after a Successor Notice has been given. In addition to the foregoing, with the prior written consent of the Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), any Servicer may subcontract with other Persons for servicing, administering or collecting all or any portion of the Receivables, provided, however, that no such subcontract shall relieve such Servicer of its primary liability for performance of its duties as Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof and any such subservicing arrangement may be terminated at the request of the Agent at any time that such Agent reasonably determines that such subservicer is not performing adequately.

(d) Expense Indemnity after a Servicer Transfer Event. In addition to, and not in lieu of the Servicer’s Fee, if Seller or one of its Affiliates is replaced as Servicer following a Successor Notice, the Borrower shall reimburse the Servicer within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of a written invoice, any and all reasonable costs and expenses (based on then current market prices) of the Servicer incurred in connection with its servicing of the Receivables for the benefit of the Secured Parties.

Section 8.2. Duties of Servicer.

(a) Appointment; Duties in General. Each of the Borrower, the Lenders and the Agent hereby appoints as its agent, the Servicer, as from time to time designated pursuant to Section 8.1, to enforce its rights and interests in and under the Receivables, the Related Security and the related Contracts. 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 and the terms of the Transaction Documents.

(b) Segregation of Collections. The Servicer shall not be required (unless otherwise requested by the Agent) to segregate the funds constituting the Collections prior to the remittance thereof in accordance with Article III. If the Agent determines in its reasonable judgment that it is necessary or desirable and so instructs the Servicer, the Servicer shall segregate and deposit into the Collection Account Collections not later than the second Business Day following receipt by the Servicer of such Collections in immediately available funds.

(c) Modification of Receivables. Seller, while it is the Servicer, may, in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy, so long as no Event of Default and no Unmatured Default shall have occurred and be continuing, extend the maturity as Seller may reasonably determine to be appropriate to maximize Collections thereof or adjust the Unpaid Balance of any Receivable in a manner consistent with the Credit and Collection Policy (although no such extension or adjustment shall alter the status of such Receivable as a Defaulted Receivable or a Delinquent Receivable or, in the case of an adjustment, limit the rights of the Agent or the Lenders under Section 3.4).

(d) Documents and Records. The Borrower shall deliver to the Servicer, and the Servicer shall hold in trust for the Borrower and the Secured Parties, all documents, instruments and records (including, without limitation, computer tapes or disks) that evidence or relate to Receivables.

(e) Certain Duties to the Borrower. The Servicer shall, as soon as practicable following receipt, turn over to the Borrower (i) that portion of the Collections which are not required to be turned over to the Agent, less the Servicer’s Fee, and, in the event that neither Seller nor any other Loan Party or Affiliate thereof is the Servicer, all reasonable and appropriate out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Servicer of servicing, collecting and administering the Receivables to the extent not covered by the Servicer’s Fee received by it, and (ii) the collections of any receivable which is not a Receivable. The Servicer, if other than Seller or any other Loan Party or Affiliate thereof, shall, as soon as practicable upon demand, deliver to the Borrower all documents, instruments and records in its possession that evidence or relate to Receivables of the Borrower, and copies of documents, instruments and records in its possession that evidence or relate to Receivables.

(f) Termination. The Servicer’s authorization under this Agreement shall terminate upon the Final Payout Date.

(g) Power of Attorney. The Borrower hereby grants to the Servicer an irrevocable power of attorney, with full power of substitution, coupled with an interest, to take in the name of the Borrower all steps which are necessary or advisable to endorse, negotiate or otherwise realize on any writing or other right of any kind held or transmitted by the Borrower or transmitted or received by Lender (whether or not from the Borrower) in connection with any Receivable.

Section 8.3. Rights of the Agent.

(a) Notice to Obligors. At any time when an Unmatured Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Agent may notify the Obligors of Receivables, or any of them, of its security interest, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in the Collateral.

(b) Notice to Lock-Box Banks. At any time after the occurrence of an Unmatured Default or an Event of Default, the Agent is hereby authorized to direct the Servicer, and the Servicer is hereby authorized and directed to comply with such direction, to give notice to the Lock-Box Banks, as provided in the Lock-Box Agreements, of the transfer to the Agent of dominion and control over the Lock-Boxes and related Lock-Box Accounts to which the Obligors of Receivables make payments. The Borrower and the Servicer hereby transfer to the Agent, effective when the Agent shall give notice to the Lock-Box Banks as provided in the Lock-Box Agreements, the exclusive dominion and control over such Lock-Boxes and Lock-Box Accounts, and shall take any further action that the Agent may reasonably request to effect such transfer.

(c) Rights on Servicer Transfer Event. At any time following the designation of a Servicer other than Initial Servicer pursuant to Section 8.1:

(i) The Agent may direct the Obligors of Receivables, or any of them, to pay all amounts payable under any Receivable directly to the Agent or its designee.

(ii) The Borrower shall, at the Agent’s request and at the Borrower’s expense, give notice of the Agent’s security interest in the Collateral to each Obligor of Receivables and direct that payments be made directly to the Agent or its designee.

(iii) The Borrower shall, at the Agent’s request: (A) assemble all of the documents, instruments and other records (including, without limitation, computer programs, tapes and disks) which evidence the Collateral, or which are otherwise necessary or desirable to collect the Collateral, and make the same available to the successor Servicer at a place selected by the Agent, and (B) segregate all cash, checks and other instruments received by it from time to time constituting Collections in a manner acceptable to the Agent and promptly upon receipt, remit all such cash, checks and instruments, duly endorsed or with duly executed instruments of transfer, to the successor Servicer.

(iv) The Borrower and the Lenders hereby authorize the Agent and grant to the Agent an irrevocable power of attorney (which shall terminate on the Final Payout Date), to take any and all steps in such Person’s name and on behalf of such Person which are necessary or desirable, in the determination of the Agent, to collect all amounts due under any and all Receivables, including, without limitation, endorsing the Borrower’s name on checks and other instruments representing Collections and enforcing such Receivables and the related Contracts.

Section 8.4. Responsibilities of the Borrower. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding:

(a) Contracts. The Borrower shall remain responsible for performing all of its obligations (if any) under the Contracts related to the Receivables and under the related agreements to the same extent as if the security interest in the Collateral had not been granted hereunder, and the exercise by the Agent or its designee of its rights hereunder shall not relieve the Borrower from such obligations.

(b) Limitation of Liability. The Agent and the Lenders shall not have any obligation or liability with respect to any Receivables, Contracts related thereto or any other related agreements, nor shall any of them be obligated to perform any of the obligations of the Borrower or the Seller thereunder.

Section 8.5. Further Action Evidencing the Security Interest.

(a) Further Assurances. The Borrower agrees that from time to time, at its expense, it will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action that the Agent or its designee may reasonably request in order to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the Agent’s security interest, on behalf of the Secured Parties, in the Collateral, or to enable the Agent or its designee to exercise or enforce any of the Secured Parties’ respective rights hereunder or under any Transaction Document in respect thereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower will:

(i) upon the request of the Agent, file such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto or assignments thereof, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or appropriate, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;

Section 8.6. Application of Collections.

Section 11.6. Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Lenders.

Each of the Lenders also represents and warrants to the Agent and the other Lenders 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 the Borrower and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement. Each of the Lenders also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Liquidity Bank or Lender, 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 the Borrower. Neither of the Agent nor any of the Lenders, 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 the Borrower which may come into the possession of such Person or any of its respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates, except that the Agent shall promptly distribute to the Lenders and the Liquidity Banks, copies of financial and other information expressly provided to the Agent by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement for distribution to the Lenders.

investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not the Agent in its capacity as such or such Person shall be designated a party thereto) that may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the 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 bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent or such Person as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction).

Section 11.8. Agent in its Individual Capacity. The Agent in its individual capacity and its affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower and their Affiliates as though it were not the Agent hereunder. With respect to its Loans, if any, pursuant to this Agreement, the Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include the Agent in its individual capacity.

Section 11.9. Successor Agent. The Agent, upon five (5) days’ notice to the Borrower and the Lenders, may voluntarily resign at any time; provided, however, that Bank of America shall not voluntarily resign as the Agent so long as any of the Liquidity Banks’ respective Commitments remain in effect or XX XXXX has any outstanding Loans hereunder. If the Agent (other than Bank of America) shall voluntarily resign, then the Majority Lenders during such five-day period shall appoint, from amongst the remaining Lenders, a successor agent, whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Agent and the term “Agent” shall mean such successor agent, effective upon its appointment, and the former Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement. Upon replacement of any Agent in accordance with this Section 11.9, the retiring Agent shall execute 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 Agent. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Article XI and Article XIII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement.

Section 11.10. Agent’s Conflict Waivers. Bank of America acts, or may in the future act, (i) as administrative agent for XX XXXX, (ii) as issuing and paying agent for XX XXXX’x Commercial Paper Notes, (iii) to provide credit or liquidity enhancement for the timely payment for XX XXXX’x Commercial Paper Notes and (iv) to provide other services from time to time for XX XXXX (collectively, the “Bank of America Roles”).

Section 11.11. UCC Filings. Each of the Secured Parties hereby expressly recognizes and agrees that the Agent may be listed as the assignee or secured party of record on the various UCC filings required to be made under the Transaction Documents in order to perfect their respective interests in the Collateral, that such listing shall be for administrative convenience only in creating a record or nominee holder to take certain actions hereunder on behalf of the Secured Parties and that such listing will not affect in any way the status of the Secured Parties as the true parties in interest with respect to the Collateral. In addition, such listing shall impose no duties on the Agent other than those expressly and specifically undertaken in accordance with this Article XI.

ARTICLE XII

Section 12.1. Restrictions on Assignments, etc. (a) Neither the Borrower nor the Servicer may assign its rights, or delegate its duties hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Agent; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be deemed to restrict Seller’s right, prior to delivery of a Successor Notice, to delegate its duties as Servicer to the Originator, provided that Seller shall remain primarily liable for the performance or non-performance of such duties.

(b) In no event will the sale of any participation interest in any Lender’s or any Eligible Assignee’s rights under the Transaction Documents or in the Obligations relieve the seller of such participation of its obligations, if any, hereunder or, if applicable, under the applicable Liquidity Agreement.

Section 12.3. Terms and Evidence of Assignment. Any assignment to any Eligible Assignee(s) pursuant to Section 12.1(b) or 12.1(c) shall be upon such terms and conditions as the assigning Lender and the Agent, on the one hand, and the Eligible Assignee, on the other, may mutually agree, and shall be evidenced by such instrument(s) or document(s) as may be satisfactory to such Lender, the Agent and the Eligible Assignee(s). Any assignment made in accordance with the terms of the Article XII shall relieve the assigning Lender of its obligations, if any, under this Agreement (and, if applicable, the Liquidity Agreement) to the extent assigned.

(E) the failure to file, 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;

(F) any dispute, claim, offset or defense (other than discharge in bankruptcy) of the Obligor to the payment of any Receivable (including, without limitation, a defense based on such Receivables 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 services related to such Receivable or the furnishing or failure to furnish such services;

(G) any matter described in Section 3.4;

(H) any failure of any Loan Party, as the Borrower, the Servicer or otherwise, to perform its duties or obligations in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party;

(K) the commingling of Collections of Receivables at any time with other funds;

(L) any investigation, litigation or proceeding related to or arising from this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, the use of the proceeds of any Loan, the security interest in the Receivables and Related Assets or any other investigation, litigation or proceeding relating to the Borrower, the Seller or the Originator in which any Indemnified Party becomes involved as a result of any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (other than an investigation, litigation or proceeding (1) relating to a dispute solely amongst the Lenders (or certain Lenders) and the Agent or (2) excluded by this Section 13.1(a));

(M) 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;

(N) the occurrence of any Event of Default of the type described in Section 10.1(e); or

(O) any loss incurred by any of the Secured Parties as a result of the inclusion in the Borrowing Base of (i) Receivables owing from any single Obligor and its Affiliated Obligors which causes the aggregate Unpaid Balance of all such Receivables to exceed the applicable Obligor Concentration Limit or (ii) Receivables in excess of the Extended Term Concentration Limit.

(b) Contest of Tax Claim; After-Tax Basis. If any Indemnified Party shall have notice of any attempt to impose or collect any tax or governmental fee or charge for which indemnification will be sought from any Loan Party under Section 13.1(a)(xi), such Indemnified Party shall give prompt and timely notice of such attempt to the Borrower and the Borrower shall have the right, at its expense, to participate in any proceedings resisting or objecting to the imposition or collection of any such tax, governmental fee or charge. Indemnification hereunder shall be in an amount necessary to make the Indemnified Party whole after taking into account any tax consequences to the Indemnified Party of the payment of any of the aforesaid taxes (including any deduction) and the receipt of the indemnity provided hereunder or of any refund of any such tax previously indemnified hereunder, including the effect of such tax, deduction or refund on the amount of tax measured by net income or profits which is or was payable by the Indemnified Party.

Section 13.2. Indemnities by Servicer. Without limiting any other rights which any Indemnified Party may have hereunder or under applicable law, the Servicer hereby agrees to indemnify each of the Indemnified Parties forthwith on demand, from and against any and all Indemnified Amounts awarded against or incurred by any of them arising out of or relating to the

Servicer’s performance of, or failure to perform, any of its obligations under or in connection with any Transaction Document, or any representation or warranty made by the Servicer (or any of its officers) under or in connection with any Transaction Document, any Information Package or any other information or report delivered by or on behalf of the Servicer, which shall have been false, incorrect or misleading in any material respect when made or deemed made or delivered, as the case may be, or the failure of the Servicer to comply with any applicable law, rule or regulation with respect to any Receivable or the related Contract. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall any Indemnified Party be awarded any Indemnified Amounts (a) to the extent determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Indemnified Party, (b) as recourse for Indemnified Amounts to the extent the same includes losses in respect of Receivables which are uncollectible on account of the insolvency, bankruptcy or lack of creditworthiness of the related Obligor, (c) that represent taxes based upon, or measured by, net income, of changes in the rate of tax or as determined by reference to the overall net income, of such Indemnified Party, (d) that represent franchise taxes, taxes on, or in the nature of, doing business taxes or capital taxes or (e) that represent withholding taxes required for payments made to any foreign entity which, at the time such foreign entity issues its Commitment or Liquidity Commitment or becomes an assignee of a Lender hereunder, fails to deliver to the Agent and the Borrower an accurate IRS Form W-8 BEN or W-8 ECI, as applicable.

If for any reason the indemnification provided above in this Section 13.2 (and subject to the exceptions set forth therein) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or is insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless, then the Servicer shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by such Indemnified Party on the one hand and the Servicer on the other hand but also the relative fault of such Indemnified Party as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

ARTICLE XV
ADDITIONAL LIQUIDITY BANK PROVISIONS

Section 15.1. Assignment to Liquidity Banks.

(a) Assignment Amounts. At any time on or prior to the Conduit Investment Termination Date, if the administrator for XX XXXX (the “Administrator”) so elects, by written notice to the Agent, the Borrower hereby irrevocably requests and directs that XX XXXX assign, and XX XXXX does hereby assign effective on the Assignment Date referred to below all or such portions as may be elected by XX XXXX of its interest in the Obligations at such time to the Liquidity Banks pursuant to this Section 15.1 and the Borrower hereby agrees to pay the amounts described in Section 15.1(b) within two (2) Business Days of its receipt of a notice thereof specifying the amounts owed pursuant thereto; provided that unless such assignment is an assignment of all of XX XXXX’x interest in the Obligations in whole on or after the Conduit Investment Termination Date, no such assignment shall take place pursuant to this Section 15.1 if an Event of Default described in Section 10.1(e) shall then exist; and provided further that no such assignment shall take place pursuant to this Section 15.1 at a time when an Event of Bankruptcy with respect to XX XXXX exists. No further documentation or action on the part of

XX XXXX or the Borrower shall be required to exercise the rights set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, other than the giving of the notice by XX XXXX referred to in such sentence and the delivery by XX XXXX of a copy of such notice to each Liquidity Bank (the date of the receipt of any such notice being the “Assignment Date”). Each Liquidity Bank hereby agrees, unconditionally and irrevocably and under all circumstances, without setoff, counterclaim or defense of any kind, to pay the full amount of its Assignment Amount on such Assignment Date to XX XXXX in immediately available funds to an account designated by XX XXXX. Upon payment of its Assignment Amount, each Liquidity Bank shall acquire an interest in the Obligations equal to its pro rata share (based on the outstanding portions of the Obligations funded by it) of the assigned portion of the Obligations. At all times after the Conduit Investment Termination Date, XX XXXX shall cease to make any additional Loans hereunder. At all times prior to the Conduit Investment Termination Date, nothing herein shall prevent XX XXXX from making subsequent Loans hereunder, in its sole discretion, following any assignment pursuant to this Section 15.1 or from making more than one assignment pursuant to this Section 15.1.

(b) Borrower’s Obligation to Pay Certain Amounts; Additional Assignment Amount. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrator, for the account of XX XXXX, in connection with any assignment by XX XXXX to a Liquidity Bank pursuant to this Section 15.1, an aggregate amount equal to all interest and fees to accrue up to but not including the effective date of such assignment to the extent attributable to the portion of the Obligations so assigned to the Liquidity Banks (which interest shall be determined for such purpose using the CP Costs most recently determined by the Administrator) (as determined immediately prior to giving effect to such assignment), plus all other Obligations then due and owing to XX XXXX (other than any interest not described above) related to the portion of the Obligations so assigned to the Liquidity Banks. If the Borrower fails to make payment of such amounts at or prior to the time of assignment by XX XXXX to a Liquidity Bank, such amount shall be paid by such Liquidity Bank to XX XXXX as additional consideration for the interests assigned to such Liquidity Bank and the amount of the “Obligations” hereunder held by such Liquidity Bank shall be increased by an amount equal to the additional amount so paid by such Liquidity Bank and such Obligations shall no longer be owed to XX XXXX.

(c) Administration of Agreement after Assignment from XX XXXX to the Liquidity Banks following the Conduit Investment Termination Date. After any assignment in whole by XX XXXX to the Liquidity Banks pursuant to this Section 15.1 at any time on or after the related Conduit Investment Termination Date (and the payment of all amounts owing to XX XXXX in connection therewith), all rights of the Administrator set forth herein shall be given to the Agent on behalf of the applicable Liquidity Bank instead of the Administrator.

(d) Payments to Agent’s Account. After any assignment in whole by a XX XXXX to the Liquidity Banks pursuant to this Section 15.1 at any time on or after the related Conduit Investment Termination Date, all payments to be made hereunder by the Borrower or the Servicer to XX XXXX shall be made to the Agent’s account as such account shall have been notified to the Borrower and the Servicer.

(e) Recovery of Obligations. In the event that the aggregate of the Assignment Amounts paid by the Liquidity Banks pursuant to this Section 15.1 on any Assignment Date

occurring on or after the Conduit Investment Termination Date is less than the Obligations of XX XXXX on such Assignment Date, then to the extent Collections thereafter received by the Agent and the Liquidity Banks hereunder in respect of the Obligations exceed the aggregate of the unrecovered Assignment Amounts and Obligations funded by such Liquidity Banks, such excess shall be remitted by the Liquidity Banks to XX XXXX (or to the Administrator on its behalf) for the account of XX XXXX.

Section 15.2. Downgrade of Liquidity Bank.

(a) Downgrades Generally. If at any time on or prior to the Conduit Investment Termination Date, the short term debt rating of any Liquidity Bank shall be “A-2” or “P-2” from S&P or Xxxxx’x, respectively, with negative credit implications, such Liquidity Bank, upon request of the Agent, shall, within thirty (30) days of such request, assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another financial institution (which institution’s short term debt shall be rated at least “A-2” or “P-2” from S&P or Xxxxx’x, respectively, and which shall not be so rated with negative credit implications and which is acceptable to XX XXXX and the Agent). If the short term debt rating of a Liquidity Bank shall be “A-3” or “P-3”, or lower, from S&P or Xxxxx’x, respectively (or such rating shall have been withdrawn by S&P or Xxxxx’x), such Liquidity Bank, upon request of the Agent, shall, within five (5) Business Days of such request, assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another financial institution (which institution’s short term debt shall be rated at least “A-2” or “P-2”, from S&P or Xxxxx’x, respectively, and which shall not be so rated with negative credit implications and which is acceptable to XX XXXX and the Agent). In either such case, if any such Liquidity Bank shall not have assigned its rights and obligations under this Agreement within the applicable time period described above (in either such case, the “Required Downgrade Assignment Period”), the Agent on behalf of XX XXXX shall have the right to require such Liquidity Bank to pay upon one (1) Business Day’s notice at any time after the Required Downgrade Assignment Period (and each such Liquidity Bank hereby agrees in such event to pay within such time) to the Agent an amount equal to such Liquidity Bank’s unused Commitment (a “Downgrade Draw”) for deposit by the Agent into an account, in the name of the Agent (a “Downgrade Collateral Account”), which shall be in satisfaction of such Liquidity Bank’s obligations to make Loans and to pay its Assignment Amount upon an assignment from XX XXXX in accordance with Section 15.1; provided that if, during the Required Downgrade Assignment Period, such Liquidity Bank delivers a written notice to the Agent of its intent to deliver a direct pay irrevocable letter of credit pursuant to this proviso in lieu of the payment required to fund the Downgrade Draw, then such Liquidity Bank will not be required to fund such Downgrade Draw. If any Liquidity Bank gives the Agent such notice, then such Liquidity Bank shall, within one (1) Business Day after the Required Downgrade Assignment Period, deliver to the Agent a direct pay irrevocable letter of credit in favor of the Agent in an amount equal to the unused portion of such Liquidity Bank’s Commitment, which letter of credit shall be issued through an United States office of a bank or other financial institution (i) whose short-term debt ratings by S&P and Xxxxx’x are at least equal to the ratings assigned by such statistical rating organization to the Commercial Paper of XX XXXX and (ii) that is acceptable to XX XXXX and the Agent. Such letter of credit shall provide that the Agent may draw thereon for payment of any Loan or Assignment Amount payable by such Liquidity Bank which is not paid hereunder when required, shall expire no earlier than the related Conduit Investment Termination Date and shall otherwise be in form and substance acceptable to the Agent.

(b) Application of Funds in Downgrade Collateral Account. If any Liquidity Bank shall be required pursuant to Section 15.2(a) to fund a Downgrade Draw, then the Agent shall apply the monies in the Downgrade Collateral Account applicable to such Liquidity Bank’s share of Loans required to be made by the Liquidity Banks and to any Assignment Amount payable by such Liquidity Bank pursuant to Section 15.1 at the times, in the manner and subject to the conditions precedent set forth in this Agreement. The deposit of monies in such Downgrade Collateral Account by any Liquidity Bank shall not constitute a Loan or the payment of any Assignment Amount (and such Liquidity Bank shall not be entitled to interest on such monies except as provided below in this Section 15.2(b), unless and until (and then only to the extent that) such monies are used to fund Loans or to pay any Assignment Amount. The amount on deposit in such Downgrade Collateral Account shall be invested by the Agent in Eligible Investments and such Eligible Investments shall be selected by the Agent in its sole discretion. The Agent shall remit to such Liquidity Bank, on the last Business Day of each month, the income actually received thereon. Unless required to be released as provided below in this subsection, Collections received by the Agent in respect of such Liquidity Bank’s portion of the Obligations shall be deposited in the Downgrade Collateral Account for such Liquidity Bank. Amounts on deposit in such Downgrade Collateral Account shall be released to such Liquidity Bank (or the stated amount of the letter of credit delivered by such Liquidity Bank pursuant to subsection (a) above may be reduced) within one (1) Business Day after each Settlement Date following the Termination Date to the extent that, after giving effect to the distributions made and received by the Lenders on such Settlement Date, the amount on deposit in such Downgrade Collateral Account would exceed such Liquidity Bank’s pro rata share (determined as of the day prior to the Termination Date) of the sum of all Loans then funded by XX XXXX, plus the Interest Component. All amounts remaining in such Downgrade Collateral Account shall be released to such Liquidity Bank no later than the Business Day immediately following the earliest of (i) the effective date of any replacement of such Liquidity Bank or removal of such Liquidity Bank as a party to this Agreement, (ii) the date on which such Liquidity Bank shall furnish the Agent with confirmation that such Liquidity Bank shall have short-term debt ratings of at least “A-2” or “P-2” from S&P and Xxxxx’x, respectively, without negative credit implications, and (iii) the Conduit Investment Termination Date. Nothing in this Section 15.2 shall affect or diminish in any way any such downgraded Liquidity Bank’s Commitment to the Borrower or XX XXXX or such downgraded Liquidity Bank’s other obligations and liabilities hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents.

(c) Liquidity Agreement Downgrade Provisions. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 15.2, a Liquidity Bank shall not be required to make a Downgrade Draw (or provide for the issuance of a letter of credit in lieu thereof) pursuant to Section 15.2(a) at a time when such Liquidity Bank has a downgrade collateral account (or letter of credit in lieu thereof) established pursuant to the Liquidity Agreement relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to which it is a party in an amount at least equal to its unused Commitment, and the Agent may apply monies in such downgrade collateral account in the manner described in Section 15.2(b) as if such downgrade collateral account were a Downgrade Collateral Account.
