ARTICLE II.

AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF ADVANCES

Section 2.01. Advances.

(a) Advances. (i) From and after the Effective Date and until the Facility Termination Date and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Lender (other than the Discretionary Lenders) severally agrees to make its Pro Rata Share of advances (each such advance hereunder, an “Advance”) to the Borrower from time to time, subject to Section 2.01(c). The Outstanding Principal Amount of all Advances shall not at any time exceed the Facility Limit and the Outstanding Principal Amount of Advances made by each Lender shall not exceed such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Facility Limit. The Outstanding Principal Amount of Advances made by each Lender Group shall not exceed the aggregate Pro Rata Share (of the Committed Lenders in such Lender Group) of the Facility Limit. Except to the extent provided in Section 2.06(c), no Lender shall make any Advances if, after giving effect thereto, a Funding Excess would exist. The Borrower may from time to time borrow, repay and reborrow Advances hereunder on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

(ii) The Borrower shall execute and deliver to each Lender that makes a request therefor, a note to evidence the Advances which may be made hereunder from time to time by such Lender. Each such note shall be (x) in the principal amount of the Pro Rata Share of the Facility Limit of the applicable Lender (or, in the case of a Discretionary Lender, in the principal amount of the aggregate Pro Rata Share (of the Committed Lenders in such Discretionary Lender’s Lender Group) of the Facility Limit, (y) dated as of the date of issuance thereof, and (z) substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.01(a)(ii) (each, a “Revolving Note”). Each Revolving Note shall represent the obligation of the Borrower to pay the amount of the applicable Lender’s portion of the aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount made to the Borrower, together with interest thereon as prescribed in Section 2.06. The Outstanding Principal Amount of Advances and all other accrued and unpaid Borrower Obligations shall be immediately due and payable in full in immediately available funds on the Facility Termination Date.

(b) Reserved.

(c) Discretionary Lenders. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any Related Document to the contrary, no Discretionary Lender shall have any commitment hereunder and may fund Advances hereunder solely in its own discretion. If a Discretionary Lender does not elect to fund an Advance, the related Committed Lenders in such Discretionary Lender’s Lender Group shall fund in its stead subject to the conditions set forth herein. While it is the intent of each Discretionary Lender to fund each requested Advance through the issuance of Commercial Paper, the parties acknowledge that if any such Discretionary Lender is unable, or determines that it is undesirable, to issue Commercial Paper to fund all or any portion of the

Advances, or is unable to repay such Commercial Paper upon the maturity thereof such Discretionary Lender may put all or any portion of its Advances to its Program Support Providers at any time pursuant to the Program Support Agreement or to its Committed Lenders pursuant to Article XIII.

Section 2.02. Optional Changes in Facility Limit.

(a) Partial Reduction of Facility Limit. So long as no Incipient Termination Event or Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower may, not more than twice during each calendar year, permanently reduce in part the Facility Limit; provided that (i) the Borrower shall give ten Business Days’ prior written notice of any such reduction to the Administrative Agent and each Managing Agent substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.02(a) (each such notice, a “Facility Limit Reduction Notice”), (ii) any such partial reduction of the Facility Limit shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 or an integral multiple thereof, and (iii) no such partial reduction shall reduce the Facility Limit below the greater of (x) the Outstanding Principal Amount at such time and (y) $200,000,000. Any such partial reduction in the Facility Limit shall result in a reduction in each Committed Lender’s Commitment in an amount equal to such Committed Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount by which the Aggregate Commitment is being reduced.

(b) Facility Termination. The Borrower may, at any time, on at least 30 days’ prior written notice by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent and each Managing Agent, terminate the facility provided in this Article II by irrevocably reducing the Facility Limit to zero; provided that (i) such notice of termination shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.02(b) (the “Facility Termination Notice”), (ii) the Borrower shall reduce the aggregate outstanding amount of Advances to zero, and make all payments required by Section 2.03(h) at the time and in the manner specified therein and (iii) the Borrower shall pay any amounts owed under Section 2.02(d) in connection therewith. Upon such termination, the Borrower’s right to request that any Lender make Advances hereunder shall in each case simultaneously terminate and the Facility Termination Date shall automatically occur.

(c) Notices. Each Facility Termination Notice and Facility Limit Reduction Notice shall be irrevocable and shall be effective (i) on the day of receipt if received by the Administrative Agent and the Managing Agents not later than 4:00 p.m. (New York time) on any Business Day and (ii) on the immediately succeeding Business Day if received by the Administrative Agent and the Managing Agents after such time on such Business Day or if any such notice is received on a day other than a Business Day (regardless of the time of day such notice is received). Each Facility Termination Notice or Facility Limit Reduction Notice shall specify, respectively, the amount of, or the amount of the proposed reduction in, the Facility Limit.

Section 2.03. Procedures for Making Advances.

(a) Borrowing Requests. Except as provided in Section 2.06(c), each Borrowing shall be made upon notice by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent (with a copy to each Managing Agent) in the manner provided herein. Any such notice must be in writing and received no later than 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Business Day preceding the Business Day of the Proposed Advance Date set forth therein. Each such notice (a “Borrowing Request”) shall (i) be substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.03(a), (ii) be irrevocable and (iii) specify the amount of the requested Borrowing (which shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $500,000 in excess of $1,000,000) and the proposed Advance Date (which shall be a Business Day), and shall include such other information as may be required by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent. Each Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower, and the Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any loss or expense incurred by such Lender, either directly or indirectly (including, in the case of any Conduit Lender, through a Program Support Agreement) as a result of any failure by the Borrower to complete such borrowing, including any loss (including loss of profit) or expense incurred by the Administrative Agent, any Managing Agent or any Lender, either directly or indirectly (including, in the case of any Conduit Lender, pursuant to a Program Support Agreement) by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of funds acquired by such Lender (or the applicable Program Support Provider(s)) (including funds obtained by issuing commercial paper or promissory notes or obtaining deposits or loans from third parties) in order to fund such borrowing.

(b) Advances; Payments. The Administrative Agent shall, promptly after receipt of a Borrowing Request and in any event prior to 4:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date such Borrowing Request is deemed received, by telecopy, telephone or other similar form of communication notify each Managing Agent of its receipt of such Borrowing Request, and the applicable Lenders shall make the amount of such applicable Advance available to the Administrative Agent in same day funds by wire transfer to the Agent Account not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on the requested Advance Date. After receipt of such wire transfers (or, in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion in accordance with Section 2.03(c), before receipt of such wire transfers), subject to the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall make available to the Borrower by deposit into the Borrower Account on the Advance Date therefor, the amount of the requested Borrowing.

(c) Availability of Lenders’ Advances. The Administrative Agent may assume that each Lender will make its Pro Rata Share of each Borrowing of Advances available to the Administrative Agent on each Advance Date. If the Administrative Agent has made available to the Borrower such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any such Borrowing but such Pro Rata Share is not, in fact, paid to the Administrative Agent by such Lender when due, the Administrative Agent will be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender without set-off, counterclaim or deduction of any kind. If any Lender fails to pay the amount of its Pro Rata Share forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Borrower shall immediately repay such amount to the Administrative Agent. Nothing in this Section 2.03(c) or elsewhere in this Agreement or the other Related Documents shall be deemed to require the Administrative Agent to advance funds on behalf of any Lender or to relieve any Lender from its obligation to

fulfill its Commitment hereunder or to take any action that would prejudice any rights that the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder. To the extent that the Administrative Agent advances funds to the Borrower on behalf of any Lender and is not reimbursed therefor on the same Business Day as such Advance is made, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to retain for its account all interest accrued on such Advance from the date of such Advance to the date such Advance is reimbursed by the applicable Lender.

(d) Return of Payments. (i) If the Administrative Agent pays an amount to a Lender under this Agreement in the belief or expectation that a related payment has been or will be received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower and such related payment is not received by the Administrative Agent, then the Administrative Agent will be entitled to recover such amount from such Lender on demand without set-off, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.

(ii) If at any time any amount received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement must be returned to the Borrower or paid to any other Person pursuant to any insolvency law or otherwise, then, notwithstanding any other term or condition of this Agreement or any other Related Document, the Administrative Agent will not be required to distribute any portion thereof to any Lender. In addition, each Lender will repay to the Administrative Agent on demand any portion of such amount that the Administrative Agent has distributed to such Lender, together with interest at such rate, if any, as the Administrative Agent is required to pay to the Borrower or such other Person, without set-off, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.

(e) Non-Funding Lenders. The failure of any Lender (each such Lender, a “Non-Funding Lender”) to make any Advance required to be made by it on the date specified therefor shall not relieve any other Lender (each such other Lender, an “Other Lender”) of its obligations to make the Advance required to be made by it, but neither any Other Lender nor the Administrative Agent shall be responsible for the failure of any Non-Funding Lender to make an Advance to be made by such Non-Funding Lender. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, a Non-Funding Lender shall not have any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Related Document or constitute a “Lender” (or be included in the calculation of “Requisite Lenders” hereunder) for any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Related Document unless and until such Non-Funding Lender shall have cured in full its failures to make Advances hereunder.

(f) [Reserved].

(g) [Reserved].

(h) Principal Repayments. (i) The Borrower may repay outstanding Advances hereunder in part on any Settlement Date or in full at any time; provided that (i) the Borrower shall give not less than one Business Day’s prior written notice (provided that two Business Days’ prior written notice shall be required if the aggregate outstanding Advances being repaid equals or exceeds $100 million) of any such repayment to the Administrative Agent (with a copy to each Managing Agent) substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.03(h) (each

such notice, a “Repayment Notice”), (ii) each such notice shall be irrevocable, (iii) each such notice shall specify the amount of the requested repayment and the proposed date of such repayment (which shall be a Business Day), (iv) any such repayment shall be applied to the outstanding Advances, (v) each such repayment shall be deposited in the Agent Account and (vi) any such repayment must be accompanied by payment of (A) all interest accrued and unpaid on the portion of the outstanding principal balance of the Advances to be repaid through but excluding the date of such repayment and (B) the amounts required to be paid in accordance with Section 2.10, if any. Any such notice of repayment must be received by the Administrative Agent no later than 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of the proposed repayment; provided further that the foregoing requirements shall not apply to repayment of the outstanding principal amount of Advances as a result of the application of Collections pursuant to Section 2.08.

Section 2.04. Pledge and Release of Transferred Receivables.

(a) Pledge. The Borrower shall indicate in its Records that the Transferred Receivables have been pledged hereunder and that the Administrative Agent has a lien on and security interest in all such Transferred Receivables for the benefit of the Secured Parties. The Borrower shall, and shall cause the Servicer to, hold all Contracts and other documents relating to such Transferred Receivables in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with their interests hereunder. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that its retention and possession of such Contracts and documents shall at all times be at the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and in a custodial capacity for the Administrative Agent’s (on behalf of the Secured Parties) benefit only.

(b) Repurchases of Transferred Receivables. If an Originator is required (or permitted) to repurchase Transferred Receivables from the Borrower pursuant to Section 4.04 of the Sale Agreement, upon payment by such Originator to the Concentration Account of the applicable repurchase price thereof (which repurchase price shall not be less than an amount equal to the Outstanding Balance of such Transferred Receivable, the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties shall release their liens on and security interests in the Transferred Receivables being so repurchased.

Section 2.05. Facility Termination Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, no Lender shall have any obligation to make any Advances from and after the Facility Termination Date.

Section 2.06. Interest, Charges.

(a) From time to time, for purposes of determining the Interest Periods applicable to the different portions of the Outstanding Principal Amount funded by its Lender Group and of calculating Yield with respect thereto, each Managing Agent shall allocate the Outstanding Principal Amount allocable to its Lender Group to one or more tranches (each a “Portion of Advances”). At any time, each Portion of Advances shall have only one Interest Period and one Rate Type.

(b) All outstanding Borrower Obligations shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date of any Termination Event until such Termination Event is waived.

(c) The Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Requisite Lenders) is authorized to charge to the Borrower as Advances and cause to be paid all Fees, Rating Agency fees, expenses, charges, costs, interest and principal, other than principal of the Advances, owing by the Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Related Documents if and to the extent the Borrower fails to pay any such amounts as and when due, and any charges so made shall constitute part of the Outstanding Principal Amount hereunder even if such charges would cause the aggregate balance of the Outstanding Principal Amount to exceed the Borrowing Base.

Section 2.07. Fees.

(a) On the Effective Date, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent Account, for the account of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, as applicable, the fees set forth in the Fee Letter that are payable on the Effective Date.

(b) From and after the Closing Date, as additional compensation for the Lenders, the Borrower agrees to pay to Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of such Lenders, monthly in arrears, on each Settlement Date, the Facility Fee by depositing such Facility Fee in the Agent Account. All computations of per annum fees hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first but excluding the last day) elapsed.

(c) On each Settlement Date, the Borrower shall pay to the Servicer or to the Successor Servicer, as applicable, the Servicing Fee or the Successor Servicing Fees and Expenses, respectively, in each case to the extent of available funds therefor pursuant to Section 2.08.

(b) On each Business Day, the Borrower (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall allocate amounts on deposit in the Accrual Account on such day and not previously allocated under this subsection (b) as follows, in the following order of priority:

(iii) third, if the Servicer has been replaced as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Servicer Termination and such Servicer is not an Affiliate of the Parent, to be deposited into the Accrual Account and paid in accordance with clause (iii) of the following subsection (c), an amount equal to the aggregate accrued and unpaid Servicing Fees through such date payable to such replacement Servicer;

(iv) fourth, to be retained in the Accrual Account and paid, pro rata, to the Persons entitled thereto, an amount equal to all outstanding Advances which are then due and payable;

(v) fifth, if any of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.02 shall not be satisfied, all such remaining amounts not to exceed the Outstanding Principal Amount to be retained in the Accrual Account until paid in accordance with the following subsection (c) or all such conditions are satisfied;

(vii) seventh, unless a Termination Event or Incipient Termination Event has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom, any remaining amounts to be paid to the Borrower; provided that if a Termination Event or Incipient Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, such amounts shall remain in the Accrual Account.

(ii) second, to the Agent Account, to the payment of accrued and unpaid Yield which is then due and payable in respect of the applicable Advances, pro rata based upon amounts due;

(d) If and to the extent a Funding Excess exists on any Business Day, the Borrower shall retain an amount equal to the amount of such Funding Excess in the Accrual Account by no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the immediately succeeding Business Day, which amount shall be applied by the Administrative Agent, in immediate repayment of the outstanding amount of Advances (together with amounts payable with respect thereto under Section 2.10).

(e) The Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all payments received from or on behalf of the Borrower, and the Borrower hereby irrevocably agrees that any and all such payments shall be applied by the Administrative Agent in accordance with this Section 2.08.

(f) All payments of principal of the Advances and all payments of interest, Fees and other amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds. Any such payment becoming due on a day other than a Business Day shall be payable on the next succeeding Business Day. Payments received at or prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on any Business Day shall be deemed to have been received on such Business Day. Payments received after 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on any Business Day or on a day that is not a Business Day shall be deemed to have been received on the following Business Day.

(g) Any and all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made in accordance with this Section 2.08 without setoff or counterclaim and free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, Charges or withholdings, excluding taxes imposed on or measured by the net income, gross receipts or franchise taxes of any Affected Party by the jurisdictions under the laws of which such Affected Party is organized or by any political subdivisions thereof (such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, Charges and withholdings being “Indemnified Taxes”). If the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable

hereunder, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as much as shall be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.08) the Affected Party entitled to receive any such payment receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions, and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing or other authority in accordance with applicable law. Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Indemnified Taxes, the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof. The Borrower shall indemnify any Affected Party from and against, and, within ten days of demand therefor, pay any Affected Party for, the full amount of Indemnified Taxes (together with any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.08) paid by such Affected Party and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally asserted.

(h) Upon receipt of a notice in accordance with Section 7.03 of the Sale Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall, if such amounts have not been applied to the Borrower Obligations, segregate the Unrelated Amounts and the same shall not be deemed to constitute Collections on Transferred Receivables.

Section 2.09. Capital Requirements; Additional Costs.

(a) Capital Requirements. If any Affected Party shall have determined that, after the date hereof, the adoption or implementation of or any change in any law, treaty, governmental (or quasi governmental) rule, regulation, guideline or order regarding capital adequacy, reserve requirements or similar requirements or compliance by such Affected Party with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy, reserve requirements or similar requirements (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Official Body increases or would have the effect of increasing the amount of capital, reserves or other funds required to be maintained by such Affected Party against commitments made by it under this Agreement or any other Related Document or Program Support Agreement and thereby reducing the rate of return on such Affected Party’s capital as a consequence of its commitments hereunder or thereunder (each, an “Increased Capital Rate of Return Reduction Event”), then the Borrower shall from time to time upon demand by the Administrative Agent pay to the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Affected Party additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Affected Party for such reduction together with interest thereon from the date of any such demand until payment in full at the applicable Base Rate. A certificate as to the amount of that reduction and showing the basis of the computation thereof submitted by the Affected Party to the Borrower shall be final, binding and conclusive on the parties hereto (absent manifest error) for all purposes. For the avoidance of doubt, all requests, rules, guidelines or directives in connection with the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act , any interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51 by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (including Interpretation No. 46: Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (or any future statement or interpretation issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or any successor thereto)) or any Accounting Based Consolidation Event shall constitute an adoption, change, request or directive, and any implementation thereof that results in an Increased Capital Rate of Return Reduction Event shall be subject to this Section 2.09(a). For all purposes of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 2.09), the Xxxx-

Xxxxx Xxxx Xxxxxx Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives in connection therewith are deemed to have gone into effect and adopted thirty (30) days after the Closing Date.

(b) Additional Costs. If, due to any Regulatory Change, there shall be any increase in the cost to any Affected Party of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any commitment hereunder or under any other Related Document or Program Support Agreement, including with respect to any Advances, or other Outstanding Principal Amount, or any reduction in any amount receivable by such Affected Party hereunder or thereunder, including with respect to any Advances, or other Outstanding Principal Amount (any such increase in cost or reduction in amounts receivable are hereinafter referred to as “Additional Costs”), then the Borrower shall, from time to time upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay to the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Affected Party additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Affected Party for such Additional Costs together with interest thereon from the date demanded until payment in full thereof at the applicable Base Rate. Each Affected Party agrees that, as promptly as practicable after it becomes aware of any circumstance referred to above that would result in any such Additional Costs, it shall, to the extent not inconsistent with its internal policies of general application, use reasonable commercial efforts to minimize costs and expenses incurred by it and payable to it by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.09(b).

(c) Determination Binding. Determinations by any Affected Party for purposes of this Section 2.09 of the effect of any Regulatory Change on its costs of making, funding or maintaining any commitments hereunder or under any other Related Documents or on amounts payable to it hereunder or thereunder or of the additional amounts required to compensate such Affected Party in respect of any Additional Costs shall be set forth in a written notice to the Borrower in reasonable detail and shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Borrower (absent manifest error) for all purposes.

(d) LIBOR Rate Protection; Illegality. (i) If any Managing Agent is unable to obtain on a timely basis the information necessary to determine the LIBOR Rate for any proposed Interest Period, then

(A) such Managing Agent shall forthwith notify its Conduit Lender or Committed Lenders, as applicable, and the Borrower that the LIBOR Rate cannot be determined for such Interest Period, and

(B) while such circumstances exist, none of such Conduit Lender, such Committed Lenders or such Managing Agent shall allocate any Portion of Advances with respect to Advances made during such period or reallocate any Portion of Advances allocated to any then existing Interest Period ending during such period, to an Interest Period with respect to which Yield is calculated by reference to the LIBOR Rate.

(ii) If, with respect to any outstanding Interest Period, a Conduit Lender or any Committed Lender on behalf of which a Managing Agent holds any Portion of Advances notifies such Managing Agent that it is unable to obtain matching

deposits in the London interbank market to fund its purchase or maintenance of such Portion of Advances or that the LIBOR Rate applicable to such Portion of Advances will not adequately reflect the cost to the Person of funding or maintaining such Portion of Advances for such Interest Period, then (A) such Managing Agent shall forthwith so notify the Borrower and (B) upon such notice and thereafter while such circumstances exist none of such Managing Agent, such Conduit Lender or such Committed Lender, as applicable, shall allocate any other Portion of Advances with respect to Investments made during such period or reallocate any Portion of Advances allocated to any Interest Period ending during such period, to an Interest Period with respect to which Yield is calculated by reference to the LIBOR Rate.

(iii) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if a Conduit Lender or any of the Committed Lenders, as applicable, shall notify their respective Managing Agent that such Person has determined (or has been notified by any Program Support Provider) that the introduction after the Closing Date of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law makes it unlawful (either for such Conduit Lender, such Committed Lender or such Program Support Provider, as applicable), or any central bank or other Official Body asserts that it is unlawful for such Conduit Lender, such Committed Lender or such Program Support Provider, as applicable, to fund the purchases or maintenance of any Portion of Advances accruing Yield calculated by reference to the LIBOR Rate, then (A) as of the effective date of such notice from such Person to its Managing Agent, the obligation or ability of such Conduit Lender or such Committed Lender, as applicable, to fund the making or maintenance of any Portion of Advances accruing Yield calculated by reference to the LIBOR Rate shall be suspended until such Person notifies its Managing Agent that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist and (B) each Portion of Advances made or maintained by such Person shall either (1) if such Person may lawfully continue to maintain such Portion of Advances accruing Yield calculated by reference to the LIBOR Rate until the last day of the applicable Interest Period, be reallocated on the last day of such Interest Period to another Interest Period and shall accrue Yield calculated by reference to the Base Rate or (2) if such Person shall determine that it may not lawfully continue to maintain such Portion of Advances accruing Yield calculated by reference to the LIBOR Rate until the end of the applicable Interest Period, such Person’s share of such Portion of Advances allocated to such Interest Period shall be deemed to accrue Yield at the Base Rate from the effective date of such notice until the end of such Interest Period.

(e) Replacement of the Lenders. Upon any Lender’s making a claim for compensation under Section 2.09, the Borrowers may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 13.04.

Section 2.10. Breakage Costs. (a) If (i) any LIBOR Rate Advances are, except by reason of the requirements in Section 2.03(c), repaid in whole or in part on any date other than a Settlement Date (whether that repayment is made pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement or any other Related Document or is the result of acceleration, by operation of law or otherwise); (ii) the Borrower shall default in payment when due of the principal amount of or interest on any LIBOR Rate Advance; (iii) the Borrower shall default in making any borrowing of LIBOR Rate Advances after the Borrower has given notice requesting the same in accordance

herewith (including any failure to satisfy conditions precedent to the making of any LIBOR Rate Advances); or (iv) the Borrower shall fail to make any prepayment of a LIBOR Rate Advance after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance herewith, then, in any such case, the Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless each applicable Lender or Program Support Provider from and against all losses, costs and expenses resulting from or arising from any of the foregoing (any such loss, cost or expense, “Breakage Costs”). Such indemnification shall include any loss (including loss of margin) or expense arising from the reemployment of funds obtained by it or from fees payable to terminate deposits from which such funds were obtained (if any). For the purpose of calculating amounts payable under this subsection, each Lender shall be deemed to have actually funded its relevant LIBOR Rate Advance through the purchase of a deposit bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate in an amount equal to the amount of that LIBOR Rate Advance; provided that each such Lender may fund each of its LIBOR Rate Advances in any manner it sees fit, and the foregoing assumption shall be utilized only for the calculation of amounts payable under this subsection. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Revolving Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder. The determination by any Lender of the amount of any such loss or expense shall be set forth in a written notice to the Borrower in reasonable detail and shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Borrower (absent manifest error) for all purposes.

(b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay the Managing Agents for the account of the Conduit Lenders, as applicable, on demand, such amount or amounts as shall compensate the Conduit Lenders for any loss, cost or expense incurred by the Conduit Lenders (as reasonably determined by its Managing Agent) as a result of any reduction of any Advance other than on the maturity date of the Commercial Paper (or other financing source) funding such Advance, such compensation to be (i) limited to an amount equal to any loss or expense suffered by the Conduit Lenders (other than any loss of margin above the applicable cost of funds) during the period from the date of receipt of such repayment to (but excluding) the maturity date of such Commercial Paper (or other financing source) and (ii) net of the income, if any, received by the recipient of such reductions from investing the proceeds of such reductions of such Advance. The determination by any Managing Agent of the amount of any such loss or expense shall be set forth in a written notice to the Borrower in reasonable detail and shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

Section 2.11. Ratings Confirmation. Upon the written request of any Managing Agent, the Borrower shall (at such requesting Managing Agent’s expense) obtain a rating, from a nationally-recognized rating agency reasonably acceptable to such Managing Agent and the Administrative Agent (an “Approved Rating Agency”), of the facility contemplated by this Agreement (each, an “External Rating”) within sixty (60) days from the date of such written request; provided that if such Approved Rating Agency issues an External Rating less than the equivalent of the Explicit Rating, then the Borrower shall effect a Ratings Cure within sixty (60) days of receiving such External Rating; provided, further that the Borrower may effect one such Ratings Cure for each Managing Agent request prior to obtaining a subsequent External Rating that is equal to or better than the Explicit Rating. For purposes of the foregoing, “Ratings Cure” means the Borrower has: (i) promptly following receipt of the External Rating, notified the Administrative Agent and the applicable Managing Agent of its intention to effect a Ratings Cure, (ii) taken, or caused the Originators to take, such actions permitted under this Agreement and the Sale Agreement that the Borrower reasonably believes would improve (or indicated as

required, by the Approved Rating Agency, in order to improve) the rating of the facility contemplated by this Agreement and (iii) within sixty (60) days of receiving such External Rating obtained a new rating of the facility contemplated by this Agreement from the Approved Rating Agency that provided the initial External Rating (or, with the Administrative Agent’s consent (and the consent of any Managing Agent which may have requested a rating), from another Approved Rating Agency) and such new rating is at least equal to the Explicit Rating.

ARTICLE IV.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Section 4.01. Representations and Warranties of the Borrower. To induce each Lender to make Advances from time to time and the Administrative Agent and each Managing Agent to take any action required to be performed by it hereunder, the Borrower makes the following representations and warranties to each Lender, each Managing Agent and the Administrative Agent on the Effective Date and each Advance Date, each and all of which shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement.

(a) Existence; Compliance with Law. The Borrower (i) is a corporation duly formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation, is a “registered organization” as defined in the UCC of such jurisdiction and is not organized under the laws of any other jurisdiction; (ii) is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which the nature of its business requires it to be so qualified (except where the failure to be so qualified and in good standing would not have a Material Adverse Effect); (iii) has the requisite power and authority and the legal right to own, pledge, mortgage, operate and convey all of its properties, to lease the property it operates under lease, and to conduct its business as now or proposed to be conducted, and to execute and deliver this Agreement and the Related Documents to which it is a party and to perform the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby; (iv) has all licenses, permits, consents or approvals from or by, and has made all filings with, and has given all notices to, all Governmental Authorities having jurisdiction, to the extent required for such ownership, operation and conduct, (except where the failure to have such licenses, permits, consents or approvals or make such filings or give such notices would not have a Material Adverse Effect); (v) is in compliance with its certificate of incorporation and bylaws and other organizational documents; and (vi) is in compliance with all applicable provisions of law (except where the failure to be in compliance would not have a Material Adverse Effect).

(b) Executive Offices; Collateral Locations; Corporate or Other Names; FEIN. The state of organization and the organization identification number of the Borrower and current location of the Borrower’s executive office, principal place of business, other offices, the premises within which any Borrower Collateral is stored or located are set forth in Schedule 4.01(b) and except as set forth in Schedule 4.01(b), such locations have not changed during the preceding twelve months. In addition, Schedule 4.01(b) lists the federal employer identification number of the Borrower.

(c) Power, Authorization, Enforceable Obligations. The execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of this Agreement and the other Related Documents to which it is a party, and the creation and perfection of all Liens and ownership interests provided for herein and therein: (i) are within the Borrower’s corporate power; (ii) have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other actions; (iii) do not contravene any provision of the Borrower’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws; (iv) do not violate any law or regulation, or any order or decree of any court or Governmental Authority; (v) do not contravene, or cause Borrower or Originator to be in default under, any contractual restriction contained in any indenture, loan or credit agreement, lease, mortgage, security agreement, bond, note or other agreement or instrument binding on or affecting Borrower or Originator or its property; (vi) do not result in the creation or imposition of any Adverse Claim upon any of the property of the Borrower or any Originator; and (vii) do not require the consent or approval of any Governmental Authority or any other Person, except those which have been duly obtained, made or complied with prior to the Effective Date as provided in Section 3.01(b). The exercise by each of the Borrower, the Lenders, the Managing Agents or the Administrative Agent of any of its rights and remedies under any Related Document to which it is a party do not require the consent or approval of any Governmental Authority or any other Person, except those which will have been duly obtained, made or complied with prior to the Closing Date as provided in Section 3.01(b). At or prior to the Effective Date, each of the Related Documents to which the Borrower is a party shall have been duly executed and delivered by the Borrower and each such

Related Document shall then constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject, as to enforceability, to (A) any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to or affecting the enforceability of creditors’ rights generally and (B) general equitable principles, whether applied in a proceeding at law or in equity.

(d) No Litigation. No Litigation is now pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against the Borrower before any Governmental Authority which (i) challenges the Borrower’s right, power or competence to enter into or perform any of its obligations under the Related Documents to which it is a party, or the validity or enforceability of any Related Document or any action taken thereunder, (ii) seeks to prevent the transfer, sale, pledge or contribution of any Receivable or the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated under this Agreement or the other Related Documents, or (iii) is reasonably likely to be adversely determined and, if adversely determined, would result in a Material Adverse Effect. To the knowledge of Borrower, there does not exist a state of facts which is reasonably likely to give rise to such proceedings. Borrower is not a party to any consent decree.

(e) Solvency. After giving effect to the sale or contribution of Receivables and the Advances on such date and to the application of the proceeds therefrom, the Borrower is and will be Solvent.

(f) Material Adverse Effect. Since the date of the Borrower’s organization, no event has occurred with respect to the Borrower that alone or together with other events could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(g) Ownership of Property; Liens. None of the properties and assets (including the Transferred Receivables) of the Borrower are subject to any Adverse Claims other than Permitted Encumbrances not attaching to Transferred Receivables, and there are no facts, circumstances or conditions known to the Borrower that may result in (i) with respect to the Transferred Receivables, any Adverse Claims (including Adverse Claims arising under environmental laws) and (ii) with respect to its other properties and assets, any Adverse Claims (including Adverse Claims arising under environmental laws) other than Permitted Encumbrances. The Borrower has received all assignments, bills of sale and other documents, and has duly effected all recordings, filings and other actions necessary to establish, protect and perfect the Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to the Transferred Receivables and its other properties and assets. No effective financing statement or other similar instrument are of record in any filing office listing the Borrower or any Originator as debtor and covering any of the Transferred Receivables or the other Borrower Collateral, and the Liens granted to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 7.01 are and will be at all times fully perfected first priority Liens in and to the Borrower Collateral.

(h) Ventures, Subsidiaries and Affiliates; Outstanding Stock and Indebtedness. The Borrower has no Subsidiaries, and is not engaged in any joint venture or partnership with any other Person or has any equity interest in any other Person. The Borrower has no Investments in any Person other than Permitted Investments. The Parent is the only shareholder of the Borrower. There are no outstanding rights to purchase stock, options, warrants or similar rights, agreements or plans pursuant to which the Borrower may be required

to issue, sell, or purchase any Stock or other equity security. Other than the Subordinated Loans, the Borrower has no outstanding Debt.

(i) Taxes. All tax returns, reports and statements, including information returns (Form 1120-S), required by any Governmental Authority to be filed by the Borrower and all material tax returns, reports and statements, including information returns, required by any Governmental Authority to be filed by any Affiliate of the Borrower, have in each case been filed with the appropriate Governmental Authority and all Charges and other impositions shown thereon to be due and payable (other than Charges or other impositions which Borrower is diligently contesting in good faith by appropriate proceedings, in respect of which no final unappealable order has been made against Borrower, and with respect to which Borrower is maintaining adequate reserves under GAAP) have been paid prior to the date on which any fine, penalty, interest or late charge may be added thereto for nonpayment thereof, or any such fine, penalty, interest, late charge or loss has been paid. Borrower has paid when due and payable all material Charges required to be paid by it. Proper and accurate amounts have been withheld by the Borrower or such Affiliate from its employees (as applicable) for all periods in full and complete compliance with the tax, social security and unemployment withholding provisions of applicable federal, state, local and foreign law and such withholdings have been timely paid to the respective Governmental Authorities. Schedule 4.01(i) sets forth those taxable years for which the Borrower’s or such Affiliates’ are currently being audited by the IRS or any other applicable Governmental Authority and any assessments or threatened assessments in connection with any such audit or otherwise currently outstanding. Except as described in Schedule 4.01(i), neither the Borrower nor any such Affiliate has executed or filed with the IRS or any other Governmental Authority any agreement or other document extending, or having the effect of extending, the period for assessment or collection of any Charges. Neither as of nor following the Effective Date have the Borrower or any of its Affiliates included in the Parent Group agreed or been requested to make any adjustment under IRC 481(a) by reason of a change in accounting method or otherwise that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(j) Full Disclosure. No information contained in this Agreement, any Borrowing Base Certificate or any of the other Related Documents, or any other written statement or information furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower to any Lender, any Managing Agent or the Administrative Agent relating to this Agreement, the Transferred Receivables or any of the other Related Documents, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made. All business plans and other forecasts and projections (including the Projections) furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower and made available to any Lender, any Managing Agent or the Administrative Agent relating to the financial condition, operations, business, properties or prospects of Borrower were prepared in good faith on the basis of the facts and assumptions stated therein, which assumptions were fair in light of the conditions existing at the time of delivery of such forecasts, and represented, at the time of delivery, Borrower’s reasonable estimate of its plans, forecasts or projections, as applicable, based on the information available at the time (it being acknowledged that actual results may vary, and such variations may be material).

(k) ERISA. During the twelve-consecutive-month period prior to the date of the execution and delivery of this Agreement, no steps have been taken to terminate any Pension Plan, and no contribution failure has occurred with respect to any Pension Plan sufficient to give rise to a lien under section 303(k) of ERISA. No condition exists or event or transaction has occurred with respect to any Pension Plan which could result in the Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate incurring any material liability, fine or penalty.

(l) Brokers. No broker or finder acting on behalf of the Borrower was employed or utilized in connection with this Agreement or the other Related Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby and the Borrower has no obligation to any Person in respect of any finder’s or brokerage fees in connection therewith.

(m) Margin Regulations. The Borrower is not engaged in the business of extending credit for the purpose of “purchasing” or “carrying” any “margin security,” as such terms are defined in Regulation U of the Federal Reserve Board as now and from time to time hereafter in effect (such securities being referred to herein as “Margin Stock”). The Borrower owns no Margin Stock, and no portion of the proceeds of the Advances made hereunder will be used, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock, for the purpose of reducing or retiring any Debt that was originally incurred to purchase or carry any Margin Stock or for any other purpose that might cause any portion of such proceeds to be considered a “purpose credit” within the meaning of Regulations T, U or X of the Federal Reserve Board. The Borrower will not take or permit to be taken any action that might cause any Related Document to violate any regulation of the Federal Reserve Board.

Schedule 4.01(q) lists all banks and other financial institutions at which the Borrower maintains deposit or other bank accounts as of the Closing Date, including any Account, and such schedule correctly identifies the name, address and telephone number of each depository, the name in which the account is held, a description of the purpose of the account, and the complete account number therefor. Each Account constitutes a deposit account within the meaning of the applicable UCC. The Borrower (or the Servicer on its behalf) has delivered to the Administrative Agent a fully executed agreement pursuant to which each of the Borrower Account Bank (with respect to the Borrower Account), the Concentration Account Bank (with respect to the Concentration Account) and the Collection Account Bank (with respect to the Collection Account) has agreed to comply with all instructions originated by the Administrative Agent directing the disposition of funds in the Accounts without further consent by the Borrower, the Servicer or any Originator. No Account is in the name of any person other than the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, and the Borrower has not consented to any Bank following the instructions of any Person other than the Administrative Agent. Accordingly, the Administrative Agent has a first priority perfected security interest in each Account, and all funds on deposit therein.

(r) Transferred Receivables.

(i) Transfers. Each Transferred Receivable was purchased by or contributed to the Borrower on the relevant Transfer Date pursuant to the Sale Agreement.

or Daily Report, as the case may be, constitutes an Eligible Receivable as of the date specified in such Borrowing Base Certificate, Monthly Report, Weekly Report or Daily Report, as applicable.

(iii) No Material Adverse Effect. The Borrower has no actual knowledge of any fact (including any defaults by the Obligor thereunder on any other Receivable) that would cause it or should have caused it to expect that any payments on any Transferred Receivable designated as an Eligible Receivable in any Borrowing Base Certificate, Monthly Report, Weekly Report or Daily Report, as applicable, will not be paid in full when due or that has caused it to expect any material adverse effect on any such Transferred Receivable.

(iv) Nonavoidability of Transfers. The Borrower shall (A) have received each Contributed Receivable as a contribution to the capital of the Borrower by the Parent as a stockholder of the Borrower and (B) (1) have purchased each Sold Receivable from the applicable Originator for cash consideration or with the proceeds of a Subordinated Loan and (2) have accepted assignment of any Eligible Receivables transferred pursuant to clause (b) of Section 4.04 of the Sale Agreement, in each case in an amount that constitutes fair consideration and reasonably equivalent value therefor. No Sale has been made for or on account of an antecedent debt owed by any Originator to the Borrower and no such Sale is or may be avoidable or subject to avoidance under any bankruptcy laws, rules or regulations.

(s) Assignment of Interest in Related Documents.

(t) Notices to Obligors. Each Obligor of Transferred Receivables has been directed to remit all payments with respect to such Receivables for deposit in a Lockbox or the Concentration Account.

(v) Supplementary Representations.

(ii) Creation of Security Interest. The Borrower owns and has good and marketable title to the Transferred Receivables, Accounts and Lockboxes, free and clear of any Adverse Claim. The Agreement creates a valid and continuing security

interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in the Transferred Receivables, Accounts and Lockboxes in favor of the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Secured Parties), which security interest is prior to all other Adverse Claims and is enforceable as such as against any creditors of and purchasers from the Borrower.

(iii) Perfection. Within ten days of the Effective Date: (A) the Borrower has caused the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law and entered into Account Agreements in order to perfect the sale of the Transferred Receivables from the Originators to the Borrower pursuant to the Sale Agreement and the security interest granted by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Secured Parties) in the Transferred Receivables hereunder; (B) with respect to the Borrower Account, the Borrower has delivered to the Administrative Agent (on behalf of itself and the Lenders), a fully executed Borrower Account Agreement pursuant to which the Borrower Account Bank has agreed, following the occurrence and continuation of a Termination Event, to comply with all instructions given by the Administrative Agent with respect to all funds on deposit in the Borrower Account, without further consent by the Borrower, the Servicer or any Originator; (C) with respect to the Concentration Account, the Borrower has delivered to the Administrative Agent (on behalf of itself and the Lenders), a fully executed Concentration Account Agreement pursuant to which the Concentration Account Bank has agreed to comply with all instructions given by the Administrative Agent with respect to all funds on deposit in the Concentration Account, without further consent by the Borrower, the Servicer or any Originator; and (D) with respect to each Lockbox Account, the Borrower has delivered to the Administrative Agent (on behalf of itself and the Lenders), a fully executed Lockbox Agreement pursuant to which the applicable Lockbox Bank has agreed to comply with all instructions given by the Administrative Agent with respect to all funds on deposit in the applicable Lockbox (and any related accounts), without further consent by the Borrower, the Servicer or any Originator.

(B) Neither the Borrower nor any Originator has authorized, or is aware of, any filing of any financing statement against the Borrower or any Originator that include a description of collateral covering the Transferred Receivables or all other collateral pledged to the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Secured Parties) pursuant to the Related Documents, other than any financing statement filed pursuant to the Sale Agreement and this Agreement or financing statements that have been validly terminated prior to the date hereof. (C) The Borrower is not aware of any judgment, ERISA or tax lien filings against either the Borrower or any Originator. (D) None of the Accounts or Lockboxes is in the name of any Person other than the Borrower or the Administrative Agent. Neither the Borrower, the Servicer

ARTICLE IX.

REMEDIES

Section 9.01. Actions Upon Termination Event. If any Termination Event shall have occurred and the Administrative Agent shall have declared the Facility Termination Date to have occurred or the Facility Termination Date shall be deemed to have occurred pursuant to Section 8.01, then the Administrative Agent may exercise in respect of the Borrower Collateral, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies granted to it hereunder, under any other Related Document or under any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Borrower Obligations or otherwise available to it, all of the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the UCC (such rights and remedies to be cumulative and nonexclusive), and, in addition, may take the following actions:

(a) The Administrative Agent may, without notice to the Borrower except as required by law and at any time or from time to time, (i) charge, offset or otherwise apply amounts payable to the Borrower from the Agent Account, the Borrower Account, the Collection Account, the Concentration Account or the Accrual Account against all or any part of the Borrower Obligations and (ii) without limiting the terms of Section 7.05(d), notify any Obligor under any Transferred Receivable or obligors under the Borrower Assigned Agreements of the transfer of the Transferred Receivables to the Borrower and the pledge of such Transferred Receivables or Borrower Assigned Agreements, as the case may be, to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties and direct that payments of all amounts due or to become due to the Borrower thereunder be made directly to the Administrative Agent or any servicer, collection agent or lockbox or other account designated by the Administrative Agent.

(b) The Administrative Agent may, without notice except as specified below, solicit and accept bids for and sell the Borrower Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any exchange, broker’s board or any of the Lenders’ or Managing Agents’ offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Administrative Agent may deem commercially reasonable. The Administrative Agent shall have the right to conduct such sales on the Borrower’s premises or

elsewhere and shall have the right to use any of the Borrower’s premises without charge for such sales at such time or times as the Administrative Agent deems necessary or advisable. The Borrower agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, ten days’ notice to the Borrower of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Borrower Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Administrative Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for such sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Every such sale shall operate to divest all right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever of the Borrower in and to the Borrower Collateral so sold, and shall be a perpetual bar, both at law and in equity, against each Originator, the Borrower, any Person claiming any right in the Borrower Collateral sold through any Originator or the Borrower, and their respective successors or assigns. The Administrative Agent shall deposit the net proceeds of any such sale in the Agent Account and such proceeds shall be applied against all or any part of the Borrower Obligations.

(c) Upon the completion of any sale under Section 9.01(b), the Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the purchaser or purchasers at such sale on the date thereof, or within a reasonable time thereafter if it shall be impracticable to make immediate delivery, all of the Borrower Collateral sold on such date, but in any event full title and right of possession to such property shall vest in such purchaser or purchasers upon the completion of such sale. Nevertheless, if so requested by the Administrative Agent or by any such purchaser, the Borrower shall confirm any such sale or transfer by executing and delivering to such purchaser all proper instruments of conveyance and transfer and releases as may be designated in any such request.

(d) At any sale under Section 9.01(b), any Lender, any Managing Agent or the Administrative Agent may bid for and purchase the property offered for sale and, upon compliance with the terms of sale, may hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability therefor.

(e) The Administrative Agent may (but in no event shall be obligated to) exercise, at the sole cost and expense of the Borrower, any and all rights and remedies of the Borrower under or in connection with the Borrower Assigned Agreements or the other Borrower Collateral, including any and all rights of the Borrower to demand or otherwise require payment of any amount under, or performance of any provisions of, the Borrower Assigned Agreements. Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall, upon the occurrence of any Event of Servicer Termination, have the right to name any Successor Servicer (including itself) pursuant to Article VIII of the Sale Agreement.

Section 9.02. Exercise of Remedies. No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent, any Managing Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement and no course of dealing between any Originator, the Borrower or the Servicer, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, any Managing Agent or any Lender, on the other hand, shall operate as a waiver of such right, power or privilege, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under this Agreement preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right,

power or privilege. The rights and remedies under this Agreement are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently, and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that the Administrative Agent, any Managing Agent or any Lender would otherwise have at law or in equity. No notice to or demand on any party hereto shall entitle such party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances, or constitute a waiver of the right of the party providing such notice or making such demand to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

Section 9.03. Power of Attorney. On the Closing Date, the Borrower shall execute and deliver a power of attorney substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 9.03 (a “Power of Attorney”). The Power of Attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until this Agreement has terminated in accordance with its terms and all of the Borrower Obligations are indefeasibly paid or otherwise satisfied in full. The powers conferred on the Administrative Agent under each Power of Attorney are solely to protect the Liens of the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Secured Parties) upon and interests in the Borrower Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Administrative Agent to exercise any such powers. The Administrative Agent shall not be accountable for any amount other than amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers and none of the Administrative Agent’s officers, directors, employees, agents or representatives shall be responsible to the Borrower, any Originator, the Servicer or any other Person for any act or failure to act, except to the extent of damages attributable to their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. The Administrative Agent covenants and agrees not to use the Power of Attorney except following a Termination Event and prior to the occurrence of the Termination Date.

Section 9.04. Continuing Security Interest. This Agreement shall create a continuing Lien in the Borrower Collateral until the date such security interest is released by the Administrative Agent.

ARTICLE X.

(a) Without limiting any other rights that the Affected Parties or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys, agents, representatives, transferees, successors or assigns (each, an “Indemnified Person”) may have hereunder or under applicable law, the Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person from and against any and all Indemnified Amounts that may be claimed or asserted against or incurred by any such Indemnified Person in connection with or arising out of the transactions contemplated under this Agreement or under any other Related Document or any actions or failures to act in connection therewith, including any and all Rating Agency costs and any and all legal costs and expenses; provided that the Borrower shall not be liable for any indemnification to an Indemnified Person to the extent that any such Indemnified Amount (x) results from such Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, in each case as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or (y) constitutes recourse for

uncollectible or uncollected Transferred Receivables as a result of the insolvency, bankruptcy or the failure (without cause or justification) or inability on the part of the related Obligor to perform its obligations thereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower shall pay on demand to each Indemnified Person any and all Indemnified Amounts relating to or resulting from:

(i) reliance on any representation or warranty made or deemed made by the Borrower (or any of its officers) under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Related Document (without regard to any qualifications concerning the occurrence or non-occurrence of a Material Adverse Effect or similar concepts of materiality) or on any other information delivered by the Borrower pursuant hereto or thereto that shall have been incorrect when made or deemed made or delivered;

(ii) the failure by the Borrower to comply with any term, provision or covenant contained in this Agreement, any other Related Document or any agreement executed in connection herewith or therewith (without regard to any qualifications concerning the occurrence or non-occurrence of a Material Adverse Effect or similar concepts of materiality), any applicable law, rule or regulation with respect to any Transferred Receivable or the Contract therefor, or the nonconformity of any Transferred Receivable or the Contract therefor with any such applicable law, rule or regulation;

(iii)(1) the failure to vest and maintain vested in the Borrower valid and properly perfected title to and sole record and beneficial ownership of the Receivables that constitute Transferred Receivables, together with all Collections in respect thereof and all other Borrower Collateral, free and clear of any Adverse Claim and (2) the failure to maintain or transfer to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a first priority, perfected Lien in any portion of the Borrower Collateral;

(iv) any dispute, claim, offset or defense of any Obligor (other than its discharge in bankruptcy) to the payment of any Transferred Receivable (including a defense based on such Receivable or the Contract therefor not being a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Obligor enforceable against it in accordance with its terms), or any other claim resulting from the sale of the merchandise or services giving rise to such Receivable or the furnishing of or failure to furnish such merchandise or services or relating to collection activities with respect to such Receivable (if such collection activities were performed by any of its Affiliates acting as Servicer);

(v) any products liability claim or other claim arising out of or in connection with merchandise, insurance or services that is the subject of any Contract with respect to any Transferred Receivable;

(vi) the commingling of Collections with respect to Transferred Receivables by the Borrower at any time with its other funds or the funds of any other Person;

(vii) any failure by the Borrower to cause the filing of, or any delay in filing, financing statements or other similar instruments or documents under the UCC of any applicable jurisdiction or any other applicable laws with respect to any Transferred Receivable hereunder or any other Borrower Collateral, whether at the time of the Borrower’s acquisition thereof or any Advance made hereunder or at any subsequent time;

(viii) any investigation, litigation or proceeding related to this Agreement or the ownership of Transferred Receivables or Collections with respect thereto;

(ix) any failure of (w) a Lockbox Bank to comply with the terms of the applicable Lockbox Agreement, (x) the Accrual Account Bank to comply with the terms of the Accrual Account Agreement, (y) the Concentration Account Bank to comply with the terms of the Concentration Account Agreement, or (z) the Borrower Account Bank to comply with the terms of the Borrower Account Agreement; or

(x) any withholding, deduction or Charge imposed upon any payments with respect to any Transferred Receivable, any Borrower Assigned Agreement or any other Borrower Collateral.

(b) Any Indemnified Amounts subject to the indemnification provisions of this Section 10.01 not paid in accordance with Section 2.08 shall be paid by the Borrower to the Indemnified Person entitled thereto within five Business Days following demand therefor.

ARTICLE XI.

ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

Section 11.01. Appointment and Authorization. Each Secured Party hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes the Administrative Agent and its applicable Managing Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Related Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to such Administrative Agent or Managing Agent, as applicable, by the terms of this Agreement and any other Related Document, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Related Document, no Administrative Agent or Managing Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement, nor shall the Administrative Agent or any Managing Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Secured Party, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Related Document or otherwise exist against any Administrative Agent or Managing Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement with reference to any Administrative Agent or Managing Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is

intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

Section 11.02. Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent and each Managing Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Related Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Managing Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects with reasonable care.

Section 11.03. Liability of Administrative Agent and Managing Agents. No Agent-Related Person shall (a) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Related Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (b) be responsible in any manner to any Secured Party for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by the Borrower, any Originator, the Parent or the Servicer, or any officer thereof, contained in this Agreement or in any other Related Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent or such Managing Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Related Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Related Document, or for any failure of the Borrower, any Originator, the Parent, the Servicer or any other party to any Related Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Secured Party to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Related Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Borrower, any Originator, the Parent, the Servicer or any of their respective Affiliates.

Section 11.04. Reliance by the Administrative Agent and the Managing Agents. (a) The Agent and each Managing Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrower, any Originator, the Parent and the Servicer), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent or such Managing Agent. The Administrative Agent and each Managing Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Related Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Managing Agents or the Lenders in its Lender Group, as applicable, as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent and each Managing Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Related Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Managing Agents or the Lenders in its Lender Group, as applicable, or, if required hereunder, all Lenders and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Lenders.

(b) For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Article III on the Closing Date, each Lender that has executed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter either sent by the Administrative Agent or any Managing Agent to such Lender for consent, approval, acceptance or satisfaction, or required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to such Lender.

Section 11.05. Notice of Termination Event, Incipient Termination Event, Event of Servicer Termination or Incipient Servicer Termination Event. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Managing Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of an Incipient Termination Event, Termination Event, Event of Servicer Termination or Incipient Servicer Termination Event, unless it has received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Incipient Termination Event, Termination Event, Event of Servicer Termination or Incipient Servicer Termination Event and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Termination Event or Incipient Termination Event” or “Notice of Incipient Servicer Termination Event or Event of Servicer Termination,” as applicable. Each Managing Agent will notify the Lenders in its Lender Group of its receipt of any such notice. The Administrative Agent and each Managing Agent shall (subject to Section 11.04) take such action with respect to such event as may be requested by the Managing Agents (or its Lenders in its Lender Group); provided that, unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received any such request, the Administrative Agent (or Managing Agent) may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such event as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Secured Parties or Lenders, as applicable.

Section 11.06. Credit Decision; Disclosure of Information. Each Secured Party acknowledges that none of the Agent-Related Persons has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Administrative Agent or any Managing Agent hereinafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of the Borrower, the Parent, the Servicer, the Originators or any of their respective Affiliates, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Secured Party as to any matter, including whether the Agent-Related Persons have disclosed material information in their possession. Each Secured Party, including any Lender by assignment, represents to the Administrative Agent and its Managing Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower, the Parent, the Servicer, each Originator or their respective Affiliates, and all applicable bank regulatory laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrower hereunder. Each Secured Party also represents that it shall, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person 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 the other Related Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower, the Parent, the Servicer or the Originators. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly herein required to be furnished to the Security Parties by the Administrative Agent or any Managing Agent herein,

neither the Administrative Agent nor any Managing Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Secured Party with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower, the Parent, the Servicer, any Originator or their respective Affiliates which may come into the possession of any of the Agent-Related Persons.

Section 11.07. Indemnification. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Committed Lenders (or the Committed Lenders in the applicable Lender Group) shall indemnify upon demand each Agent-Related Person (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), pro rata, and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person from and against any and all Indemnified Amounts incurred by it; provided that no Committed Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Amounts resulting from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that no action taken by Administrative Agent (or any Managing Agent) in accordance with the directions of the Managing Agents (or the Lenders in its Lender Group) shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section 11.07. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse its Managing Agent, the Administrative Agent and each Letter of Credit Issuer upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including attorney’s fees) incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Related Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Administrative Agent or such Managing Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower. The undertaking in this Section 11.07 shall survive payment on the Termination Date and the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or such Managing Agent.

Section 11.08. Individual Capacity. The Administrative Agent and each Managing Agent (and any successor thereto in such capacity) and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with any of the Borrower, the Parent, the Originators, the Servicer, or any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates as though it were not the Administrative Agent, a Managing Agent or a Lender hereunder, as applicable, and without notice to or consent of the Secured Parties. The Secured Parties acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, any such Person or its Affiliates may receive information regarding the Borrower, the Parent, the Originators, the Servicer or their respective Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Person) and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to its Commitment, the Administrative Agent and each Managing Agent (and any successor thereto in such capacity) in its capacity as a Committed Lender hereunder shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Committed Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, a Managing Agent or a Committed Lender, as applicable, and the term “Committed Lender” shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent and each Managing Agent in its individual capacity.

Section 11.09. Resignation. The Administrative Agent or any Managing Agent may resign upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the applicable Lenders. If the Administrative Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Requisite Lenders shall appoint from among the Committed Lenders a successor agent for the Secured Parties. If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders, a successor agent from among the Committed Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent hereunder, such successor agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent and the Administrative Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 11.09 and Sections 11.03 and 11.07 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent under this Agreement. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date which is thirty (30) days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Committed Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Requisite Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. If a Managing Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Lenders in such Lender Group shall appoint a successor agent.

Section 11.10. Payments by the Administrative Agent and the Managing Agents. Unless specifically allocated to a Committed Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, all amounts received by the Administrative Agent or a Managing Agent on behalf of the Lenders shall be paid to the applicable Managing Agent or Lenders pro rata in accordance with amounts then due on the Business Day received, unless such amounts are received after 12:00 noon on such Business Day, in which case the applicable agent shall use its reasonable efforts to pay such amounts on such Business Day, but, in any event, shall pay such amounts not later than the following Business Day.

Section 11.11. Setoff and Sharing of Payments. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Termination Event, each Lender and each holder of any Note is hereby authorized at any time or from time to time, without notice to the Borrower or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived (but subject to Section 2.03(b)(i)), to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all balances held by it at any of its offices for the account of the Borrower (regardless of whether such balances are then due to the Borrower) and any other properties or assets any time held or owing by that Lender or that holder to or for the credit or for the account of the Borrower against and on account of any of the Borrower Obligations which are not paid when due. Any Lender or holder of any Note exercising a right to set off or otherwise receiving any payment on account of the Borrower Obligations in excess of its Pro Rata Share thereof shall purchase for cash (and the other Lenders or holders shall sell) such participations in each such other Lender’s or holder’s Pro Rata Share of the Borrower Obligations as would be necessary to cause such Lender to share the amount so set off or otherwise received with each other Lender or holder in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares. The Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that (a) any Lender or holder may exercise its right to set off with respect to amounts in excess of its Pro Rata Share

of the Borrower Obligations and may sell participations in such amount so set off to other Lenders and holders and (b) any Lender or holders so purchasing a participation in the Advances made or other Borrower Obligations held by other Lenders or holders may exercise all rights of set off, bankers’ lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender or holder were a direct holder of the Advances, and the other Borrower Obligations in the amount of such participation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if all or any portion of the set-off amount or payment otherwise received is thereafter recovered from the Lender that has exercised the right of set-off, the purchase of participations by that Lender shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored without interest.

Each of the Lenders, Managing Agents, Administrators and the Administrative Agent agrees not to transfer any interest it may have in the Related Documents unless the applicable transferee has been notified of the existence of each Intercreditor Agreement and has agreed to be bound thereby.

(b) The Borrower hereby consents to any Lender’s assignment or pledge of, and/or sale of participations in, at any time or times after the Effective Date of the Related Documents, Advances, and any Commitment or of any portion thereof or interest therein, including any Lender’s rights, title, interests, remedies, powers or duties thereunder, whether evidenced by a writing or not, made in accordance with this Section 12.02(b). Any assignment by a Lender shall (i) require the execution of an assignment agreement (an “Assignment Agreement”) substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 12.02(b) or otherwise in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent, and the consent of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and may be withheld if the short-term unsecured debt rating of the proposed Lender is not at least “A-1” or the equivalent by S&P and “P-1” or the equivalent by Xxxxx’x at the time of such assignment); (ii) if a partial assignment, be in an amount at least equal to $5,000,000 and, after giving effect to any such partial assignment, the assigning Committed Lender shall have retained Commitments in an amount at least equal to $5,000,000; (iii) require the delivery to the Administration Agent by the assignee or participant, as the case may be, of any forms, certificates or other evidence with respect to United States tax withholding matters, and (iv) other than in the case of an assignment by a Lender to one of its Affiliates or by a Discretionary Lender to a Committed Lender or to a Program Support Provider, include a payment to the Administrative Agent by the assignor or assignee Lender of an assignment fee of $3,500. In the case of an assignment by a Lender under this Section 12.02, the assignee shall have, to the extent of such assignment, the same rights, benefits and obligations as it would if it were a Lender hereunder. The assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to its Commitments or assigned portion thereof from and after the date of such assignment. The Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that any assignment made in accordance with this Section 12.02(b) will give rise to a direct obligation of the Borrower to the assignee and that the assignee shall thereupon be a “Lender” for all purposes. In all instances, each Committed Lender’s obligation to make Advances shall be several and not joint and shall be limited to such Committed Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the applicable Commitment. In the event any Lender assigns or otherwise transfers all or any part of a Revolving Note, such Lender shall so notify the Borrower and the Borrower shall, upon the request of such Lender, execute new Revolving Notes in exchange for the Revolving Notes being assigned. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 12.02(b), any Lender may at any time pledge or assign all or any portion of such Lender’s rights under this Agreement and the other Related Documents to any Federal Reserve Bank or to any holder or trustee of such Lender’s securities; provided that no such pledge or assignment to any Federal Reserve Bank, holder or trustee shall release such Lender from such Lender’s obligations hereunder or under any other Related Document and no such holder or trustee shall be entitled

to enforce any rights of such Lender hereunder unless such holder or trustee becomes a Lender hereunder through execution of an Assignment Agreement as set forth above.

(c) In addition to the foregoing right, without notice to or consent from the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, (x) any Lender may assign to any of its Affiliates and any Discretionary Lender may assign to a Committed Lender or to a Program Support Provider all or a portion of its rights (but not its obligations) under the Related Documents, including a sale of any Advances or other Borrower Obligations hereunder and such Lender’s right to receive payment with respect to any such Borrower Obligation and (y) sell participations to one or more Persons in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under the Related Documents (including all its rights and obligations with respect to the Advances); provided that (x) no such participant shall have a commitment, or be deemed to have made an offer to commit, to make Advances hereunder, and none shall be liable to any Person for any obligations of such Lender hereunder (it being understood that nothing in this Section 12.02(c) shall limit any rights the Lender may have as against such participant under the terms of the applicable option, sale or participation agreement between or among such parties); and (y) no holder of any such participation shall be entitled to require such Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder except actions directly affecting (i) any reduction in the principal amount of, or interest rate or Fees payable with respect to, any Advance in which such holder participates, (ii) any extension of any scheduled payment of the principal amount of any Advance in which such holder participates or the final maturity date thereof, and (iii) any release of all or substantially all of the Borrower Collateral (other than in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the other Related Documents). Solely for purposes of Sections 2.08, 2.09, 2.10, and 9.01, Borrower acknowledges and agrees that each such sale or participation shall give rise to a direct obligation of the Borrower to the participant and each such participant shall be considered to be a “Lender” for purposes of such sections. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, such Lender’s rights and obligations, and the rights and obligations of the other Lenders, the Managing Agents and the Administrative Agent towards such Lender under any Related Document shall remain unchanged and none of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any Managing Agent or any Lender (other than the Lender selling a participation) shall have any duty to any participant and may continue to deal solely with the assigning or selling Lender as if no such assignment or sale had occurred.

(d) Without limiting the foregoing, a Conduit Lender may, from time to time, with prior or concurrent notice to the Borrower, in one transaction or a series of transactions, assign all or a portion of its interest in the Advances and its rights and obligations under this Agreement and any other Related Documents to which it is a party to a Conduit Assignee; provided that (i) if the ratings of the Commercial Paper of such Conduit Assignee are not at least equal to the ratings of such Conduit Lender, then Borrower consent shall be required, and (ii) such assignment complies with Section 12.02(b) (other than not requiring the consent of the Borrower). Upon and to the extent of such assignment by a Conduit Lender to a Conduit Assignee, (i) such Conduit Assignee shall be the owner of the assigned portion of such interest, (ii) the related Administrator for such Conduit Assignee will act as the Administrator for such Conduit Assignee hereunder, with all corresponding rights and powers, express or implied, granted to the Administrator hereunder or under the other Related Documents, (iii) such Conduit Assignee (and any related commercial paper issuer, if such Conduit Assignee does not itself issue commercial paper) and their respective liquidity support provider(s) and credit

support provider(s) and other related parties shall have the benefit of all the rights and protections provided to the Conduit Lender and its Program Support Provider(s) herein and in the other Related Documents (including any limitation on recourse against such Conduit Assignee or related parties, any agreement not to file or join in the filing of a petition to commence an insolvency proceeding against such Conduit Assignee, and the right to assign to another Conduit Assignee as provided in this paragraph), (iv) such Conduit Assignee shall assume all (or the assigned or assumed portion) of the Conduit Lender’s obligations, if any, hereunder or any other Related Document, and the Conduit Lender shall be released from such obligations, in each case to the extent of such assignment, and the obligations of the Conduit Lender and such Conduit Assignee shall be several and not joint, (v) all distributions in respect of such interest in the Advances shall be made to the applicable Managing Agent or the related Administrator, as applicable, on behalf of the Conduit Lender and such Conduit Assignee on a pro rata basis according to their respective interests, (vi) the definition of the term “CP Rate” with respect to the portion of the Advances funded with commercial paper issued by the Conduit Lender from time to time shall be determined in the manner set forth in the definition of “CP Rate” applicable to the Conduit Lender on the basis of the interest rate or discount applicable to commercial paper issued by such Conduit Assignee (or the related commercial paper issuer, if such Conduit Assignee does not itself issue commercial paper) rather than the Conduit Lender, (vii) the defined terms and other terms and provisions of this Agreement and the other Related Documents shall be interpreted in accordance with the foregoing, (viii) the Conduit Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender already, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Servicer, all applicable tax documentation reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower or the Servicer and (ix) if requested by the related Managing Agent or the related Administrator with respect to the Conduit Assignee, the parties will execute and deliver such further agreements and documents and take such other actions as the related Managing Agent or such Administrator may reasonably request to evidence and give effect to the foregoing. For the avoidance of doubt, no assignment by a Conduit Lender to a Conduit Assignee of all or any portion of its interest in the Advances shall in any way diminish the related Committed Lenders’ obligations under Section 2.03 to fund any Advances not funded by the related Conduit Lender or such Conduit Assignee”.

(e) In the event that a Conduit Lender makes an assignment to a Conduit Assignee in accordance with clause (d) above, the Related Committed Lenders: (i) if requested by the related Administrator, shall terminate their participation in the applicable Program Support Agreement to the extent of such assignment, (ii) if requested by the related Administrator, shall execute (either directly or through a participation agreement, as determined by such Administrator) the program support agreement related to such Conduit Assignee, to the extent of such assignment, the terms of which shall be substantially similar to those of the participation or other agreement entered into by such Committed Lender with respect to the applicable Program Support Agreement (or which shall be otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Administrator and the Related Committed Lenders), (iii) if requested by the related Conduit Lender, shall enter into such agreements as requested by such Conduit Lender pursuant to which they shall be obligated to provide funding to the Conduit Assignee on substantially the same terms and conditions as is provided for in this Agreement in respect of such Conduit Lender (or which agreements shall be otherwise reasonably satisfactory to such Conduit Lender and the Committed Lenders), and (iv) shall take such actions as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request in connection therewith.

(f) Except as expressly provided in this Section 12.02, no Lender shall, as between the Borrower and that Lender, or between the Administrative Agent and that Lender, be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder as a result of any sale, assignment, transfer or negotiation of, or granting of a participation in, all or any part of the Advances, the Revolving Notes or other Borrower Obligations owed to such Lender.

(g) The Borrower shall assist any Lender permitted to sell assignments or participations under this Section 12.02 as reasonably required to enable the assigning or selling Lender to effect any such assignment or participation, including the execution and delivery of any and all agreements, notes and other documents and instruments as shall be reasonably requested and the participation of management in meetings with potential assignees or participants.

(h) A Lender may furnish any information concerning the Borrower, the Originators, the Servicer and/or the Receivables in the possession of such Lender from time to time to assignees and participants (including prospective assignees and participants). Each Lender shall obtain from all prospective and actual assignees or participants confidentiality covenants substantially equivalent to those contained in Section 12.05.

Section 12.03. Termination; Survival of Borrower Obligations Upon Facility Termination Date.

(a) This Agreement shall create and constitute the continuing obligations of the parties hereto in accordance with its terms, and shall remain in full force and effect until the Termination Date.

(b) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in any other Related Document, no termination or cancellation (regardless of cause or procedure) of any commitment made by any Affected Party under this Agreement shall in any way affect or impair the obligations, duties and liabilities of the Borrower or the rights of any Affected Party relating to any unpaid portion of the Borrower Obligations, due or not due, liquidated, contingent or unliquidated or any transaction or event occurring prior to such termination, or any transaction or event the performance of which is required after the Facility Termination Date. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in any other Related Document, all undertakings, agreements, covenants, warranties and representations of or binding upon the Borrower and all rights of any Affected Party hereunder, all as contained in the Related Documents, shall not terminate or expire, but rather shall survive any such termination or cancellation and shall continue in full force and effect until the Termination Date; provided that the rights and remedies provided for herein with respect to any breach of any representation or warranty made by the Borrower pursuant to Section 4.01(a), (c), (e), (j), (p), (r) and (v), Article IV, the indemnification and payment provisions of Article X and Sections 11.05, 12.05, 12.14 and 12.15 shall be continuing and shall survive the Termination Date.

Section 12.04. Costs, Expenses and Taxes. (a) The Borrower (failing whom, the Originators) shall reimburse the Administrative Agent, each Managing Agent and each Lender for all reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation and preparation of this Agreement and the other Related Documents (including the reasonable fees

and expenses of all of its special counsel, advisors, consultants and auditors retained in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby and advice in connection therewith). The Borrower shall reimburse each Lender, each Managing Agent and the Administrative Agent for all fees, costs and expenses, including the fees, costs and expenses of counsel or other advisors (including environmental and management consultants and appraisers) for advice, assistance, or other representation in connection with:

(ii) any amendment, modification or waiver of, consent with respect to, or termination of this Agreement or any of the other Related Documents or advice in connection with the administration hereof or thereof or their respective rights hereunder or thereunder;

(iii) any Litigation, contest or dispute (whether instituted by the Borrower, any Lender, any Managing Agent, the Administrative Agent or any other Person as a party, witness, or otherwise) in any way relating to the Borrower Collateral, any of the Related Documents or any other agreement to be executed or delivered in connection herewith or therewith, including any Litigation, contest, dispute, suit, case, proceeding or action, and any appeal or review thereof, in connection with a case commenced by or against the Borrower, the Servicer or any other Person that may be obligated to any Lender, any Managing Agent or the Administrative Agent by virtue of the Related Documents, including any such Litigation, contest, dispute, suit, proceeding or action arising in connection with any work-out or restructuring of the transactions contemplated hereby;

(iv) any attempt to enforce any remedies of a Lender, a Managing Agent or the Administrative Agent against the Borrower, the Servicer or any other Person that may be obligated to them by virtue of any of the Related Documents, including any such attempt to enforce any such remedies in the course of any work-out or restructuring of the transactions contemplated hereby;

(v) any work-out or restructuring of the transactions contemplated hereby; and

(vi) efforts to (A) monitor the Advances or any of the Borrower Obligations, (B) evaluate, observe or assess the Originators, the Parent, the Borrower, or the Servicer or their respective affairs, and (C) verify, protect, evaluate, assess, appraise, collect, sell, liquidate or otherwise dispose of any of the Borrower Collateral;

including all reasonable attorneys’ and other professional and service providers’ fees arising from such services, including those in connection with any appellate proceedings, and all reasonable expenses, costs, charges and other fees incurred by such counsel and others in connection with or relating to any of the events or actions described in this Section 12.04, all of which shall be payable, on demand, by the Borrower (failing whom, the Originators) to the

applicable Lender, the applicable Managing Agent or the Administrative Agent, as applicable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such expenses, costs, charges and fees may include: reasonable fees, costs and expenses of accountants, environmental advisors, appraisers, investment bankers, management and other consultants and paralegals; court costs and expenses; photocopying and duplication expenses; court reporter fees, costs and expenses; long distance telephone charges; air express charges; telegram or facsimile charges; secretarial overtime charges; and expenses for travel, lodging and food paid or incurred in connection with the performance of such legal or other advisory services.

Section 12.05. Confidentiality.

(a) Except to the extent otherwise required by applicable law or as required to be filed publicly with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or unless the Administrative Agent shall otherwise consent in writing, the Borrower agrees to maintain the confidentiality of this Agreement (and all drafts hereof and documents ancillary hereto), in its communications with third parties other than any Affected Party or any Indemnified Person or any financial institution party to the Credit Agreement and otherwise not to disclose, deliver or otherwise make available to any third party (other than its directors, officers, employees, accountants or counsel) the original or any copy of all or any part of this Agreement (or any draft hereof and documents ancillary hereto) except to an Affected Party or an Indemnified Person or any financial institution party to the Credit Agreement.

(b) The Borrower agrees that it shall not (and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to) issue any news release or make any public announcement pertaining to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Related Documents without the prior written consent of the Managing Agents and the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) unless such news release or public announcement is required by law, in which case the Borrower shall consult with the Administrative Agent and any Managing Agents specifically referenced therein prior to the issuance of such news release or public announcement. The Borrower may, however, disclose the general terms of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Related Documents to trade creditors, suppliers and other similarly-situated Persons so long as such disclosure is not in the form of a news release or public announcement.

(c) The Administrative Agent, each Managing Agent, each Administrator and each Lender agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), and will not use such confidential Information for any purpose or in any matter except in

connection with this Agreement, except that Information may be disclosed (1) to (i) each Affected Party (ii) its and each Affected Party’s and their respective Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential and to not disclose or use such Information in violation of Regulation FD (17 C.F.R. § 243.100-243.103)) and (iii) industry trade organizations for inclusion in league table measurements, (2) to any regulatory authority, (3) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (4) to any other party to this Agreement, (5) to the extent required in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Related Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (6) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 12.05, to any assignee of (or participant in), or any prospective assignee of (or participant in), any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, (7) with the consent of the Borrower, (8) to any nationally recognized statistical rating organization rating a Conduit Lender’s Commercial Paper, any dealer or placement agent of or depositary for the Conduit Lender’s Commercial Paper, any Administrator, any Program Support Provider, any credit/financing provider to any Conduit Lender or any of such Person’s counsel or accountants in relation to this Agreement or any other Related Document if they agree to hold the Information confidential or (9) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 12.05 or any other confidentiality agreement to which it is party with the Borrower or the Parent or any subsidiary thereof or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Managing Agent, any Administrator or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Parent or any subsidiary thereof. For the purposes of this Section 12.05, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower and Servicer relating to the Borrower, the Servicer, the Parent or any subsidiary thereof or their businesses, or any Obligor, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Managing Agent, any Administrator or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by Borrower or Servicer; provided that in the case of information received from the Borrower or Servicer after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 12.05 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any of the Related Documents, each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that each Managing Agent that has a Conduit Lender in its Lender Group may post to a secured password-protected internet website maintained by or on behalf of such Managing Agent and required by any Rating Agency rating the Commercial Paper Notes of its related Conduit Lender in connection with Rule 17g-5, the following information: (a) a copy of this Agreement and the Related Documents (including any amendments hereto or thereto), (b) its monthly transaction surveillance reports, and (c) such other information as may be requested by such Rating Agency or required for compliance with Rule 17g-5.

Section 12.06. Complete Agreement; Modification of Agreement. This Agreement and the other Related Documents constitute the complete agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, supersede all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and may not be modified, altered or amended except as set forth in Section 12.07.

Section 12.07. Amendments and Waivers.

(a) Except for actions expressly permitted to be taken by the Administrative Agent, no amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any Note, or any consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Borrower and by the Requisite Lenders or, to the extent required under clause (b) below, by all affected Lenders, and, to the extent required under clause (b) below, by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Managing Agents. Except as set forth in clause (b) below, all amendments, modifications, terminations or waivers requiring the consent of any Lenders without specifying the required percentage of Lenders shall require the written consent of the Requisite Lenders.

(b) No amendment, modification, termination or waiver shall, unless in writing and signed by each Lender directly affected thereby, do any of the following: (1) increase the principal amount of any Lender’s Commitment; (2) reduce the principal of, rate of interest on or Fees payable with respect to any Advance made by any affected Lender; (3) extend any scheduled payment date or final maturity date of the principal amount of any Advance of any affected Lender; (4) waive, forgive, defer, extend or postpone any payment of interest or Fees as to any affected Lender; (5) change the percentage of the Aggregate Commitments or of the aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount which shall be required for Lenders or any of them to take any action hereunder; (6) release all or substantially all of the Borrower Collateral; (7) amend or waive this Section 12.07 or the definition of the term “Requisite Lenders” insofar as such definition affects the substance of this Section 12.07; (8) modify or waive Section 5.03(a), (b), (e) through (l), (o) or (p); (9) modify or waive Section 8.01(v); or (10) modify any of the following definitions or component definitions thereof in a manner which would increase availability to the Borrower for Advances hereunder: “Borrowing Base,” “Dynamic Advance Rate,” “Interest Reserve,” “Servicing Fee Reserve,” or “Net Receivables Balance.” Furthermore, no amendment, modification, termination or waiver shall be effective to the extent that it affects the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or any Managing Agent under this Agreement or any other Related Document unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent or such Managing Agent, as applicable.

Each amendment, modification, termination or waiver shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No amendment, modification, termination or waiver shall be required for the Administrative Agent to take additional Borrower Collateral pursuant to any Related Document. No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of any Note shall be effective without the written concurrence of the holder of such Note. No notice to or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. Any amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent effected in

accordance with this Section 12.07 shall be binding upon each holder of a Note at the time outstanding and each future holder of a Note.

Neither the Administrative Agent, any Managing Agent nor any Lender shall waive any of the provisions set forth in Section 4.01(v) or Section 5.01(g) if such waiver would adversely affect the Ratings.

If required by any rating agency then rating the Commercial Paper of a Conduit Lender, the applicable Administrator shall provide to such rating agency copies of each material amendment to this Agreement or the other Related Documents (provided such rating agency agrees to hold such information confidential).

(i) requiring the consent of all affected Lenders, the consent of Requisite Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is not obtained as described this clause (i) or in clause (ii) below being referred to as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), or

(ii) requiring the consent of all Lenders, the consent of Requisite Lenders is obtained, but the consent of all Lenders is not obtained,

then, so long as the Administrative Agent is not a Non-Consenting Lender, at the Borrower’s request the Administrative Agent, or a Person acceptable to the Administrative Agent, shall have the right with the Administrative Agent’s consent and in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion (but shall have no obligation) to purchase from such Non-Consenting Lenders, and such Non-Consenting Lenders agree that they shall, upon the Administrative Agent’s request, sell and assign to the Administrative Agent or such Person, all of the Commitments of such Non-Consenting Lender for an amount equal to the principal balance of all Advances held by the Non-Consenting Lender and all accrued interest and Fees with respect thereto through the date of sale, such purchase and sale to be consummated pursuant to an executed Assignment Agreement.

(d) Upon indefeasible payment in full in cash and performance of all of the Borrower Obligations (other than indemnification obligations under Section 10.01), termination of the aggregate Commitments of all Lenders and a release of all claims against the Secured Parties, and so long as no suits, actions, proceedings or claims are pending or threatened against any Indemnified Person asserting any damages, losses or liabilities that are Indemnified Liabilities, the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower termination statements and other documents necessary or appropriate to evidence the termination of the Liens securing payment of the Borrower Obligations.

Section 12.08. No Waiver; Remedies. The failure by any Lender, any Managing Agent or the Administrative Agent, at any time or times, to require strict performance by the Borrower or the Servicer of any provision of this Agreement, any Receivables Assignment or any other Related Document shall not waive, affect or diminish any right of any Lender, any Managing Agent or the Administrative Agent thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance herewith or therewith. Any suspension or waiver of any breach or default

hereunder shall not suspend, waive or affect any other breach or default whether the same is prior or subsequent thereto and whether the same or of a different type. None of the undertakings, agreements, warranties, covenants and representations of the Borrower or the Servicer contained in this Agreement, any Receivables Assignment or any other Related Document, and no breach or default by the Borrower or the Servicer hereunder or thereunder, shall be deemed to have been suspended or waived by any Lender, any Managing Agent or the Administrative Agent unless such waiver or suspension is by an instrument in writing signed by an officer of or other duly authorized signatory of each applicable Managing Agent and the Administrative Agent and directed to the Borrower or the Servicer, as applicable, specifying such suspension or waiver. The rights and remedies of the Lenders, the Managing Agents and the Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Related Documents shall be cumulative and nonexclusive of any other rights and remedies that the Lenders, the Managing Agents and the Administrative Agent may have hereunder, thereunder, under any other agreement, by operation of law or otherwise. Recourse to the Borrower Collateral shall not be required.

Section 12.09. GOVERNING LAW; CONSENT TO JURISDICTION; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

(a) THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH OTHER RELATED DOCUMENT (EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY RELATED DOCUMENT EXPRESSLY PROVIDES TO THE CONTRARY) AND THE OBLIGATIONS ARISING HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS, INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE, BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED 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 OTHERWISE WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES), EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT THE PERFECTION, EFFECT OF PERFECTION OR PRIORITY OF THE INTERESTS OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT IN THE BORROWER COLLATERAL OR REMEDIES HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER, IN RESPECT THEREOF, ARE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF A JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF NEW YORK, AND ANY APPLICABLE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

(b) EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY CONSENTS AND AGREES THAT THE STATE OR FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN IN NEW YORK CITY SHALL HAVE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION TO HEAR AND DETERMINE ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES BETWEEN THEM PERTAINING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR TO ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER RELATED DOCUMENT; PROVIDED THAT EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY APPEALS FROM THOSE COURTS MAY HAVE TO BE HEARD BY A COURT LOCATED OUTSIDE OF THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN IN NEW YORK CITY; PROVIDED FURTHER THAT NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED OR OPERATE TO PRECLUDE ANY LENDER, ANY MANAGING AGENT OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT FROM BRINGING SUIT OR TAKING OTHER

LEGAL ACTION IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION TO REALIZE ON THE BORROWER COLLATERAL OR ANY OTHER SECURITY FOR THE BORROWER OBLIGATIONS, OR TO ENFORCE A JUDGMENT OR OTHER COURT ORDER IN FAVOR OF THE LENDERS, THE MANAGING AGENTS OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT. EACH PARTY HERETO SUBMITS AND CONSENTS IN ADVANCE TO SUCH JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION OR SUIT COMMENCED IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE BASED UPON LACK OF PERSONAL JURISDICTION, IMPROPER VENUE OR FORUM NON CONVENIENS AND HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE GRANTING OF SUCH LEGAL OR EQUITABLE RELIEF AS IS DEEMED APPROPRIATE BY SUCH COURT. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF THE SUMMONS, COMPLAINT AND OTHER PROCESS ISSUED IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR SUIT AND AGREES THAT SERVICE OF SUCH SUMMONS, COMPLAINT AND OTHER PROCESS MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL ADDRESSED TO SUCH PARTY AT THE ADDRESS PROVIDED FOR IN SECTION 12.01 HEREOF AND THAT SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE DEEMED COMPLETED UPON THE EARLIER OF SUCH PARTY’S ACTUAL RECEIPT THEREOF OR THREE DAYS AFTER DEPOSIT IN THE UNITED STATES MAIL, PROPER POSTAGE PREPAID. NOTHING IN THIS SECTION SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO SERVE LEGAL PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW.

(c) BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH COMPLEX FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED BY AN EXPERIENCED AND EXPERT PERSON AND THE PARTIES WISH APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS TO APPLY (RATHER THAN ARBITRATION RULES), THE PARTIES DESIRE THAT THEIR DISPUTES BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS. THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION OF THE BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF ARBITRATION, THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED TO, OR INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED AMONG THEM IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER RELATED DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.

Section 12.10. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of separate counterparts, each of which shall collectively and separately constitute one agreement.

Section 12.11. Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such

provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

Section 12.12. Section Titles. The section, titles and table of contents contained in this Agreement are and shall be without substantive meaning or content of any kind whatsoever and are not a part of the agreement between the parties hereto.

Section 12.13. Further Assurances.

(a) The Borrower shall, or shall cause the Servicer to, at its sole cost and expense, upon request of any of the Lenders or the Managing Agents, promptly and duly execute and deliver any and all further instruments and documents and take such further action that may be necessary or desirable or that any of the Lenders, the Managing Agents or the Administrative Agent may request to (i) perfect, protect, preserve, continue and maintain fully the Liens granted to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties under this Agreement, (ii) enable the Lenders, the Managing Agents or the Administrative Agent to exercise and enforce its rights under this Agreement or any of the other Related Documents or (iii) otherwise carry out more effectively the provisions and purposes of this Agreement or any other Related Document. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower shall, upon request of any of the Lenders, the Managing Agents or the Administrative Agent, (A) execute and file such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto or assignments thereof, and such other instruments or notices that may be necessary or desirable or that any of the Lenders, the Managing Agents or the Administrative Agent may request to perfect, protect and preserve the Liens granted pursuant to this Agreement, free and clear of all Adverse Claims, (B) xxxx, or cause the Servicer to xxxx, each Contract evidencing each Transferred Receivable with a legend, acceptable to each Lender, the Managing Agents and the Administrative Agent evidencing that the Borrower has purchased such Transferred Receivables and that the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, has a security interest in and lien thereon, (C) xxxx, or cause the Servicer to xxxx, its master data processing records evidencing such Transferred Receivables with such a legend and (D) notify or cause the Servicer to notify Obligors of the Liens on the Transferred Receivables granted hereunder.

(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower hereby authorizes the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, and each of the Lenders hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent, to file one or more financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto or assignments thereof, relating to all or any part of the Transferred Receivables, including Collections with respect thereto, or the Borrower Collateral without the signature of the Borrower or, as applicable, the Lenders, as applicable, to the extent permitted by applicable law. A carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement or of any notice or financing statement covering the Transferred Receivables, the Borrower Collateral or any part thereof shall be sufficient as a notice or financing statement where permitted by law.

Section 12.14. No Proceedings. Each of Administrative Agent, each Managing Agent, each Administrator and each Lender agrees that, from and after the Closing Date and until the date one year plus one day following the Termination Date, it will not, directly or indirectly, institute or cause to be instituted against the Borrower any proceeding of the type

referred to in Sections 8.01(d) and 8.01(e). This Section 12.14 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Section 12.15. Limitation on Payments. Notwithstanding any provision in any other section of this Agreement to the contrary, the obligation of the Borrower to pay any amounts payable to Lender or any other Affected Party pursuant to Sections 2.09, 2.10 and 10.01 of this Agreement shall be without recourse to the Borrower except as to any Collections and other amounts and/or proceeds of the Transferred Receivables (collectively, the “Available Amounts”) required to be distributed to the Lenders, to the extent that such amounts are available for distribution. In the event that amounts payable to a Lender or any other Affected Party pursuant to this Agreement exceed the Available Amounts, the excess of the amounts due hereunder over the Available Amounts paid shall not constitute a “claim” under Section 101(5) of the Bankruptcy Code against the Borrower until such time as the Borrower has Available Amounts. The foregoing shall not operate to limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any other Affected Party to enforce any claims of Borrower or its assigns against the Originators under the Sale Agreement or any other Related Document.

Section 12.16. Limited Recourse. The obligations of the Secured Parties under this Agreement and all Related Documents are solely the corporate obligations of each such Secured Party. No recourse shall be had for the payment of any amount owing in respect of Advances or for the payment of any fee hereunder or any other obligation or claim arising out of or based upon this Agreement or any other Related Document against any Stockholder, employee, officer, director, agent or incorporator of such Secured Party. No Conduit Lender shall, nor shall be obligated to, pay any amount pursuant to the Related Documents unless such Conduit Lender has received funds which may be used to make such payment pursuant to such Conduit Lender’s commercial paper program documents. Any amount which such Conduit Lender does not pay pursuant to the operation of the preceding sentence shall not constitute a claim (as defined in Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code) against or an obligation of such Conduit Lender for any insufficiency unless and until such Conduit Lender satisfies the provisions of such preceding sentence. This Section 12.16 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Section 12.17. Agreement Not to Petition. Each party hereto agrees, for the benefit of the holders of the privately or publicly placed indebtedness for borrowed money for any of the Discretionary Lenders, not, prior to the date which is one (1) year and one (1) day after the payment in full of all such indebtedness, to acquiesce, petition or otherwise, directly or indirectly, invoke, or cause such Discretionary Lender to invoke, the process of any Governmental Authority for the purpose of (a) commencing or sustaining a case against the such Discretionary Lender under any federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law (including the Bankruptcy Code), (b) appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official for such Discretionary Lender, or any substantial part of its property, or (c) ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of such Discretionary Lender. The provisions of this Section 12.17 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

ARTICLE XIII.

Section 13.01. [Reserved.]

Section 13.02. [Reserved.]

Section 13.03. Extension of Final Advance Date; Non-Renewing Committed Lenders. Not more than ninety (90) days or less than seventy-five (75) days prior to the then current Final Advance Date, the SPV may request an extension thereof for an additional period not to exceed 364 days. Each Committed Lender will deliver to the SPV at least sixty (60) days prior to the then current Final Advance Date a non-binding indication of whether it intends to consent to such extension. Any failure of a Committed Lender to respond by the sixtieth day preceding such Final Advance Date shall constitute a refusal to consent to such an extension. If at any time the Borrower requests that the Committed Lenders renew their Commitments hereunder and some but less than all the Committed Lenders consent to such renewal, the Borrower may arrange for an assignment, and such non-consenting Committed Lenders shall agree to assign, to one or more financial institutions acceptable to the related Conduit Lender and the Borrower of all the rights and obligations hereunder of each such non-consenting Committed Lender in accordance with this Agreement. Any such assignment shall become effective on the then-current Final Advance Date. Each Committed Lender which does not so consent to any renewal shall cooperate fully with the Borrower in effectuating any such assignment. If none or less than all the Commitments of the non-renewing Committed Lenders are so assigned as provided above, then the Final Advance Date shall not be extended.

Section 13.04. Replacement of Lender. Following a demand by the Administrative Agent or a Managing Agent (whether on behalf of a Lender (an “Affected Lender”), its related Program Support Provider or any other Affected Party in such Affected Lender’s Lender Group) for payment of any amounts under Section 2.09, the Borrower may elect to replace such Affected Lender as a Lender party to this Agreement with an assignee Lender procured by the Borrower, provided that no Incipient Termination Event or Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement; and provided further that, concurrently with such replacement, such assignee Lender shall agree to purchase for cash the Advances and all other rights of, and obligations due to, the Affected Lender hereunder pursuant to an Assignment Agreement and to become a Lender for all purposes under this Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Affected Lender to be terminated as of such date. Any such Affected Lender shall assign its rights and interests hereunder, such assignment to be effected in compliance with the requirements of Section 12.02. In the event that such an assignment occurs, the assignee Lender (i) if requested by the applicable Administrator, shall execute (either directly or through a participation agreement, as determined by the Administrator) a Program Support Agreement related to the applicable Conduit Lender, to the extent of such assignment, the terms of which shall be substantially similar to those of the participation or other agreement by the assigning Affected Lender with respect to the applicable Program Support Agreement (or which shall be otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Administrator), it being understood that the assignee Lender shall not be required to execute a Program Support Agreement if its Lender Group does not include a Conduit Lender, and (ii) shall take such actions as the Administrative Agent and the Managing Agents shall reasonably request in connection therewith. For so long as the sum of the Commitments of any Affected Lenders under this Section 13.04 is equal to or less than 50% of the Aggregate Commitments, each such Affected Lender shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assign its rights and interests hereunder to any Person identified by the Borrower as a potential assignee Lender hereunder.
