(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, Seller may, at its option, sell and assign Purchaser Interests to the Agent, for the benefit of the Purchasers, in all of its Receivables, Related Security, Collections, and proceeds of any of the foregoing, in each case, whether now owned or hereafter arising. In accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Conduit may, at its option, instruct the related Managing Agent to purchase on its behalf through the Agent, or if any such Conduit shall decline to purchase, the applicable Managing Agent shall purchase, on behalf of the applicable Financial Institutions through the Agent, Purchaser Interests from time to time in an aggregate amount not to exceed the Purchase Limit, and for each Purchase Group, in an aggregate amount not to exceed the Group Purchase Limit for such Purchase Group, during the period from the date hereof to but not including the Facility Termination Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at no time shall a Purchaser Interest be purchased for a Financial Institution pursuant to this Section 1.1(a) if the Capital allocated to the Financial Institution with respect to such Purchaser Interest would exceed such Financial Institution’s Unused Back-up Commitment at such time.

(b) Seller may, upon at least 30 days’ notice to the Agent and each Managing Agent, terminate in whole or reduce in part, ratably among the Financial Institutions based on the amount of their Back-Up Commitments, the Unused Purchase Limit; provided that each partial reduction of the Purchase Limit shall be in an amount equal to $5,000,000 or an integral multiple thereof. Each Financial Institution’s Back-Up Commitment shall be reduced by its Pro Rata Share of each reduction in the Purchase Limit, and each Financial Institution’s Liquidity Commitment shall be reduced by its Pro Rata Share of 102% of each such reduction in the Purchase Limit.

Section 1.2 Increases. Seller shall provide each Managing Agent with at least three (3) Business Days’ prior notice in a form set forth as Exhibit II hereto of each Incremental Purchase (collectively, a “Purchase Notice”). Each Purchase Notice shall be subject to Section 6.2 hereof and, except as set forth below, shall be irrevocable and shall specify the requested (i) Purchase Price (which shall not be less than $500,000 per Purchase Group) and (ii) the type of Discount Rate. Following receipt of a Purchase Notice, each Managing Agent will determine whether the Conduit in its Purchase Group agrees to make the purchase. Each Incremental Purchase to be made hereunder shall be made ratably among the Purchase Groups in accordance with their Group Purchase Limits. On the date of each Incremental Purchase, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article VI, each Conduit or the applicable Financial Institutions, as applicable, shall make available to the related Managing Agent at its address listed beneath its signature on its signature page to this Agreement, for deposit to such account as the Seller designates from time to time, in immediately available funds, no later than 12:00 Noon (Chicago time), an amount equal to (i) in the case of a Conduit, such Conduit’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate Purchase Price of the Purchaser Interests then being purchased, which amount shall not exceed such Conduit’s Pro Rata Share of the Unused Purchase Limit, or (ii) in the case of a Financial Institution, such Financial Institution’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate Purchase Price of the Purchaser Interests then being purchased, such amount not to exceed such Financial Institution’s Unused Back-Up Commitment. The Seller may not request more than one (1) Incremental Purchase per calendar week.

Section 1.3 Decreases. Seller shall provide each Managing Agent with at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice of any proposed reduction of Aggregate Capital from Collections (a “Reduction Notice”). Such Reduction Notice shall designate (i) the date (the “Proposed Reduction Date”) upon which any such reduction of Aggregate Capital shall occur, and (ii) the amount of Aggregate Capital to be reduced which shall be applied by the Managing Agents ratably to the Purchaser Interests of the Purchasers in accordance with the amount of Capital (if any) owing to such Purchaser (ratably, based on such Purchaser’s Capital Pro Rata Share) (the “Aggregate Reduction”). Only one (1) Reduction Notice shall be outstanding at any time. The Seller may not issue more than one (1) Reduction Notice per calendar week.

Section 1.4 Payment Requirements. All amounts to be paid or deposited by any Seller Party pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be paid or deposited in accordance with the terms hereof no later than 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time) on the day when due in immediately available funds, and if not received before 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time) shall be deemed to be received on the next succeeding Business Day. If such amounts are payable to a Purchaser they shall be paid to the related Managing Agent, for the account of such Purchaser, at its address listed beneath its signature on its signature page to this Agreement until otherwise notified in writing by such Managing Agent. Upon notice to Seller, the Agent may debit the Facility Account for all amounts due and payable hereunder. All computations of Yield, per annum fees hereunder and per annum fees under the Fee Letter shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days elapsed. If any amount hereunder shall be payable on a day which is not a Business Day, such amount shall be payable on the next succeeding Business Day.

Section 1.5 Funding Delay Option.

(a)Each Financial Institution may, prior to 1:00 p.m. (Chicago time) on the Business Day immediately following the date of the Purchase Notice, deliver to the Seller, the Servicer, the Agent and the Managing Agent for its Purchase Group a notice (a “Funding Delay Notice”) informing the Seller, Servicer, Agent and such Managing Agent that such Financial Institution (each, a “Delaying Purchaser”) has either (i) elected to delay its funding of any Incremental Purchase as requested by such Purchase Notice or (ii) elected to fund such Incremental Purchase only in an aggregate amount equal to the amount specified in such Funding Delay Notice (such amount the “Non-Delayed Funding Amount”) and to delay its funding of the Incremental Purchase in excess of the Non-Delayed Funding Amount.

(b)If any Financial Institution delivers a Funding Delay Notice with respect to any Purchase Notice by the time specified in Section 1.5(a), the Delaying Purchaser shall not be required on that Purchase Date to fund its portion of the requested Incremental Purchase exceeding the Non-Delayed Funding Amount, if applicable (but shall be required to fund Additional Purchases or make a Delayed Purchase Payment, as applicable, in accordance with Sections 1.5(e), as applicable.

(c)If a Funding Delay Notice has been delivered in accordance with Section 1.5(a), Seller shall send the Agent a notice specifying whether the Seller elects that it requires the Purchasers other than the Delaying Purchasers (each, a “Non-Delaying Purchaser”) to make Additional Purchases equal to the Delaying Purchaser’s Purchase Group’s Pro Rata Share of the Incremental Purchase (less the Non-Delayed Funding Amount, if applicable). If the Seller provides notice of such election prior to 4:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time) on the Business Day prior to the Purchase Date, then, in addition to the Incremental Purchases required to be made by the Non-Delaying Purchasers with respect to their Pro Rata Shares of the requested Incremental Purchase, the Non-Delaying Committed Purchasers severally agree, ratably according to their Pro Rata Shares, on the applicable Purchase Date, to fund their respective Pro Rata Shares of the Incremental Purchase in an aggregate amount equal to the Delaying Purchaser’s Pro Rata Share of the requested Purchase (less the Non-Delayed Funding Amount, if applicable) or, if less, the greatest amount that would not cause the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Purchaser Interests of the Non-Delaying Purchaser to exceed the Group Purchase Limit for the related Purchase Group (the aggregate amount funded by the Non-Delaying Purchasers in respect of any Delaying Purchaser being the “Additional Funding Amount” for such Delaying Purchaser and the amount thereof funded by each Non-Delaying Purchaser being its “AFA Amount”).

(d)If any Financial Institution is a Delaying Purchaser with respect to an Incremental Purchase and, on the related Purchase Date, any Non-Delaying Purchaser(s) fund an AFA Amount, then, on the date which is 35 days after the applicable Purchase Date, if the conditions precedent to any Incremental Purchase (save for delivery of a Purchase Notice) are satisfied on that date and the related Additional Funding Amount has not been prepaid in accordance with Section 1.5(f), the Delaying Purchaser shall purchase from each such Non-Delaying Purchaser, and each such Non-Delaying Purchaser shall sell to the Delaying Purchaser the Purchaser Interest allocable to such AFA Amount, and the Delaying Purchaser shall pay to the account of each such Non-

Delaying Purchaser by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Managing Agent for such Non-Delaying Purchaser (for the benefit of such Non-Delaying Purchaser) in an amount equal to the respective AFA Amount (an “Additional Funding Amount Purchase Price”).

(e)If any Purchaser delivers a Funding Delay Notice with respect to a Purchase Request and (i) the Seller does not make the specification described in the first sentence of Section 1.5(c) or (ii) no Additional Funding Amounts are made by any Non-Delaying Purchaser, on the date which is 35 days after the applicable Purchase Date, if the conditions precedent to any Purchase (save for delivery of a Purchase Notice) are satisfied on that date, the Delaying Purchaser shall pay to the Seller an amount equal to its Purchase Group Share of the Purchase Amount requested in the relevant Purchase Notice (less the amount of any Additional Funding Amount to be purchased under Section 1.5(d) (the “Delayed Purchase Price”). For the avoidance of doubt, a Delayed Purchase Price is a Purchaser Interest for purposes of this Agreement.

(f)If an Aggregate Reduction is made pursuant to Section 1.3 when any Additional Funding Amounts are outstanding but prior to the purchase of such Additional Funding Amounts by the relevant Delaying Purchaser, such Aggregate Reduction shall first be applied to reduce such Additional Funding Amounts, ratably in accordance with each Non-Delaying Purchaser’s ratable share of such Additional Funding Amounts. Any Aggregate Reduction shall only be applied in accordance with this Section 1.5(f) up to the aggregate outstanding amount of such Additional Funding Amounts.

ARITCLE II
PAYMENTS AND COLLECTIONS

Section 2.1 Payments. Notwithstanding any limitation on recourse contained in this Agreement, Seller shall immediately pay to each Managing Agent when due, for the account of the related Purchaser or Purchasers on a full recourse basis, (i) such fees as set forth in the Fee Letter (which fees shall be sufficient to pay all fees owing to the Financial Institutions), (ii) all amounts payable as Yield, (iii) all amounts payable as Deemed Collections (which shall be immediately due and payable by Seller and applied to reduce outstanding Aggregate Capital hereunder in accordance with Sections 2.2 and 2.3 hereof), (iv) all amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.6, (v) all amounts payable pursuant to Article X, if any, (vi) all Servicer costs and expenses, including the Servicing Fee, in connection with servicing, administering and collecting the Receivables, (vii) all Broken Funding Costs and (viii) all Default Fees (collectively, the “Obligations”). If any Person fails to pay any of the Obligations when due, such Person agrees to pay, on demand, the Default Fee in respect thereof until paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of this Agreement or the Fee Letter shall require the payment or permit the collection of any amounts hereunder in excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law. If at any time any Seller Party receives any Collections or is deemed to receive any Collections, such Seller Party shall immediately pay such Collections or Deemed Collections to the Servicer for application in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof and, at all times prior to such payment, such Collections or Deemed Collections shall be held in trust by such Seller Party for the exclusive benefit of the Purchasers, the Managing Agents and the Agent.

Section 2.2 Collections Prior to Amortization. Prior to the Amortization Date, any Collections and/or Deemed Collections received by the Servicer shall be set aside and held in trust by the Servicer for the payment of any accrued and unpaid Aggregate Unpaids or for a Reinvestment or an Aggregate Reduction as provided in this Section 2.2. If at any time any Collections are received by the Servicer prior to the Amortization Date, (i) the Servicer shall set aside the Termination Percentage (as hereinafter defined) of Collections evidenced by the Purchaser Interests of each Terminating Financial Institution and (ii) Seller hereby requests and the Purchasers (other than any Terminating Financial Institutions) hereby agree to make, simultaneously with such receipt, a reinvestment of funds (each a “Reinvestment”) with a portion of the balance of each and every Collection received by the Servicer or Deemed Collection that is part of any Purchaser Interest (other than any Purchaser Interests of Terminating Financial Institutions), such that after giving effect to such Reinvestment, the amount of Aggregate Capital immediately after such receipt and corresponding Reinvestment shall be equal to the amount of Aggregate Capital immediately prior to such receipt. On each Settlement Date prior to the occurrence of the Amortization Date, the Servicer shall remit to the Managing Agents’ respective accounts in accordance with the applicable Group Pro Rata Share of its Purchase Group, the amounts set aside during the preceding Accrual Period that have not been subject to a Reinvestment and apply such amounts (if not previously paid in accordance with Section 2.1) first, to reduce unpaid Obligations and second, to reduce the Capital of all Purchaser Interests of Terminating Financial Institutions, applied ratably to each such Terminating Financial Institution according to its respective Termination Percentage. If such Terminating Financial Institution’s Capital and other Obligations shall be reduced to zero, any additional Collections received by the Servicer shall (i) if applicable, be remitted to the Managing Agents’ respective accounts in accordance with the applicable Pro Rata Shares of the related Purchasers no later than 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time) to the extent required to fund any Aggregate Reduction on such Settlement Date and (ii) thereafter, be remitted from the Servicer to Seller on such Settlement Date. Each Terminating Financial Institution shall be allocated a ratable portion of Collections from the date on which it became a Terminating Financial Institution (the “Termination Date”) until such Terminating Financing Institution’s Capital shall be paid in full. This ratable portion shall be calculated on the Termination Date of each Terminating Financial Institution as a percentage equal to (i) Capital of such Terminating Financial Institution outstanding on its Termination Date, divided by (ii) the Aggregate Capital outstanding on such Termination Date (the “Termination Percentage”). Each Terminating Financial Institution’s Termination Percentage shall remain constant prior to the Amortization Date. On and after the Amortization Date, each Termination Percentage shall be disregarded, and each Terminating Financial Institution’s Capital shall be reduced ratably with all Financial Institutions in accordance with Section 2.3.

Section 2.3 Collections Following Amortization. On the Amortization Date and on each day thereafter, the Servicer shall set aside and hold in trust, for the holder of each Purchaser Interest, all Collections received on such day and an additional amount of funds of the Seller for the payment of any accrued and unpaid Aggregate Capital and other accrued and unpaid Obligations owed by Seller and not previously paid by Seller in accordance with Section 2.1. On and after the Amortization Date, the Servicer shall, at any time upon the request from time to time by (or pursuant to standing instructions from) the Agent (i) remit to the Managing Agents’ respective accounts established for the benefit of the related Purchasers, in accordance with the applicable Capital Pro

Rata Shares, the amounts set aside pursuant to the preceding sentence, and (ii) apply such amounts to reduce the Aggregate Capital and any other Aggregate Unpaids.

Section 2.4 Application of Collections. If there shall be insufficient funds on deposit for the Servicer to distribute funds in payment in full of the aforementioned amounts pursuant to Section 2.2 or 2.3 (as applicable), the Servicer shall distribute funds:

(i) first, to the payment of the Servicer’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection with servicing, administering and collecting the Receivables, including the Servicing Fee, if Seller or one of its Affiliates is not then acting as the Servicer,

(ii) second, to the reimbursement of the reasonable costs of collection and enforcement of this Agreement incurred by the Agent or any Managing Agent,

(iii) third, ratably to the payment of all accrued and unpaid fees under the Fee Letter and Yield,

(iv) fourth, (if applicable) to the ratable reduction of the Aggregate Capital (without regard to any Termination Percentage),

(B) compensate all employees, consultants and agents directly, from Seller’s own funds, for services provided to Seller by such employees, consultants and agents and, to the extent any employee, consultant or agent of Seller is also an employee, consultant or agent of any Originator or any Affiliate thereof, allocate the compensation of such employee, consultant or agent between Seller and such Originator or such Affiliate, as applicable, on a basis that reflects the services rendered to Seller and such Originator or such Affiliate, as applicable;

(C) clearly identify its offices (by signage or otherwise) as its offices and, if such office is located in the offices of any Originator, Seller shall lease such office at a fair market rent;

(D) have a separate telephone number, which will be answered only in its name and separate stationery, invoices and checks in its own name;

(E) conduct all transactions with each Originator (including, without limitation, any delegation of its obligations hereunder as Servicer) strictly on an arm’s‑length basis, allocate all overhead expenses (including, without limitation, telephone and other utility charges) for items shared between Seller and such Originator on the basis of actual use to the extent practicable and, to the extent such allocation is not practicable, on a basis reasonably related to actual use;

(F) at all times have a Board of Directors consisting of three members, at least one member of which is an Independent Director;

(G) observe all corporate formalities as a distinct entity, and ensure that all corporate actions relating to (A) the selection, maintenance or replacement of the Independent Director, (B) the dissolution or liquidation of Seller or (C) the initiation of, participation in, acquiescence in or consent to any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar proceeding involving Seller, are duly authorized by unanimous vote of its Board of Directors (including the Independent Director);

(H) maintain Seller’s books and records separate from those of each Originator and any Affiliate thereof and otherwise readily identifiable as its own assets rather than assets of such Originator and any Affiliate thereof;

(I) prepare its financial statements separately from those of each Originator and insure that any consolidated financial statements of Anixter or any Affiliate thereof that include Seller and that are filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other governmental agency have notes clearly stating that Seller is a separate corporate entity and that its assets will be available first and foremost to satisfy the claims of the creditors of Seller;

(J) except as herein specifically otherwise provided or in connection with collections in respect of Excluded Receivables, which Collections the Servicer has indicated are readily identifiable, maintain the funds or other assets of Seller separate from, and not commingled with, those of any Originator or any Affiliate thereof and only maintain bank accounts or other depository accounts to which Seller alone is the account party, into which Seller alone makes deposits and from which Seller alone (or the Agent or Managing Agents hereunder) has the power to make withdrawals;

(K) pay all of Seller’s operating expenses from Seller’s own assets (except for certain payments by any Originator or other Persons pursuant to allocation arrangements that comply with the requirements of this Section 7.1(i));

(L) operate its business and activities such that it does not engage in any business or activity of any kind, or enter into any transaction or indenture, mortgage, instrument, agreement, contract, lease or other undertaking, other than the transactions contemplated and authorized by this Agreement and the Receivables Sale Agreement; and does not create, incur, guarantee, assume or suffer to exist any indebtedness or other liabilities, whether direct or contingent, other than (1) as a result of the endorsement of negotiable instruments for deposit or collection or similar transactions in the ordinary course of business, (2) the incurrence of obligations under this Agreement, (3) the incurrence of obligations, as expressly contemplated in the Receivables Sale Agreement, to make payment to Originators thereunder

for the purchase of Receivables from the Originators under the Receivables Sale Agreement, and (4) the incurrence of operating expenses in the ordinary course of business of the type otherwise contemplated by this Agreement;

(M) maintain its corporate charter in conformity with this Agreement, such that (1) it does not amend, restate, supplement or otherwise modify its Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws in any respect that would impair its ability to comply with the terms or provisions of any of the Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, Section 7.1(i) of this Agreement; and (2) its corporate charter, at all times that this Agreement is in effect, provides for not less than ten (10) days’ prior written notice to the Agent of the replacement or appointment of any director that is to serve as an Independent Director for purposes of this Agreement and the condition precedent to giving effect to such replacement or appointment that Seller certify that the designated Person satisfied the criteria set forth in the definition herein of “Independent Director” and the Agent’s written acknowledgement that in its reasonable judgment the designated Person satisfies the criteria set forth in the definition herein of “Independent Director;

(N) maintain the effectiveness of, and continue to perform under the Receivables Sale Agreement, such that it does not amend, restate, supplement, cancel, terminate or otherwise modify the Receivables Sale Agreement, or give any consent, waiver, directive or approval thereunder (including, without limitation, any consent, waiver, directive or approval in connection with any Transfer Agreement) or waive any default, action, omission or breach under the Receivables Sale Agreement or any Transfer Agreement or otherwise grant any indulgence thereunder, without (in each case) the prior written consent of each Managing Agent;

(O) maintain its corporate separateness such that it does not merge or consolidate with or into, or convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of (whether in one transaction or in a series of transactions, and except as otherwise contemplated herein) all or substantially all of its assets (whether now owned or hereafter acquired) to, or acquire all or substantially all of the assets of, any Person, nor at any time create, have, acquire, maintain or hold any interest in any Subsidiary.

(P) maintain at all times the Required Capital Amount (as defined in the Receivables Sale Agreement) and refrain from making any dividend, distribution, redemption of capital stock or payment of any subordinated indebtedness which would cause the Required Capital Amount to cease to be so maintained; and

(Q) take such other actions as are necessary on its part to ensure that the facts and assumptions set forth in the opinions issued by Xxxxxx Xxxxxx LLP (f/k/a Xxxxxx Xxxxxx & Xxxxx), as counsel for Seller, in connection

with the closing hereunder and under the Earlier Purchase Agreement and relating to substantive consolidation issues, and in the certificates accompanying such opinions, remain true and correct in all material respects at all times, it being acknowledged that the assumption set forth in the ninth paragraph of Section 1 of the opinion dated October 3, 2002 to the extent it indicated that the Seller would not be consolidated with Anixter for financial reporting purposes, is no longer true.

(j) Collections. Such Seller Party will cause (1) all proceeds from all Lock-Boxes to be directly deposited by a Collection Bank into a Collection Account and (2) each Lock-Box and Collection Account to be subject at all times to a Collection Account Agreement that is in full force and effect. In the event any payments relating to Receivables are remitted directly to Seller or any Affiliate of Seller, Seller will remit (or will cause all such payments to be remitted) directly to a Collection Bank and deposited into a Collection Account within two (2) Business Days following receipt thereof, and, at all times prior to such remittance, Seller will itself hold or, if applicable, will cause such payments to be held in trust for the exclusive benefit of the Agent, the Managing Agents and the Purchasers. Seller will maintain exclusive ownership, dominion and control (subject to the terms of this Agreement and the applicable Collection Agreement) of each Lock-Box and Collection Account and shall not grant the right to take dominion and control of any Lock-Box or Collection Account at a future time or upon the occurrence of a future event to any Person, except to the Agent as contemplated by this Agreement (the parties hereto acknowledge that Receivables of the Seller are paid into Lock-Boxes to which certain Excluded Receivables of Anixter are paid). The Seller Parties shall instruct the Obligors with the customer prefixes SIE and SG. to pay all amounts due with respect to their Receivables to an account which is not a Lock-Box or Collection Account.

(k) Taxes. Such Seller Party will file all tax returns and reports required by law to be filed by it and will promptly pay all taxes and governmental charges at any time owing; provided, however, that no Seller Party shall be required to pay any such taxes which are not yet delinquent or are being diligently contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP shall have been set aside on its books, unless the failure to make any such payment (1) in the case of either Seller Party, shall give rise to an immediate right to foreclosure on an Adverse Claim securing such amounts, (2) in the case of the Seller, shall result in the attachment of an Adverse Claim securing such amounts, or (3) could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Seller will pay when due any taxes payable in connection with the Receivables, exclusive of taxes on or measured by income or gross receipts of any Purchaser, Managing Agent or the Agent.

(l) Insurance. Seller will maintain in effect, or cause to be maintained in effect, at Seller’s own expense, such casualty and liability insurance as Seller shall deem appropriate in its good faith business judgment. Seller will pay or cause to be paid, the premiums therefor and deliver to each Managing Agent evidence satisfactory to such Managing Agent of such insurance coverage. Copies of each policy shall be furnished to each Managing Agent in certificated form upon such Managing Agent’s request. The foregoing requirements shall not be construed to negate, reduce or modify, and are in addition to, Seller’s obligations hereunder.

(m) Payment to Originators. With respect to any Receivable purchased by Seller from Anixter, such sale shall be effected under, and in strict compliance with the terms of, the Receivables Sale Agreement, including, without limitation, the terms relating to the amount and timing of payments to be made to Anixter in respect of the purchase price for such Receivable. With respect to any Receivable purchased by Anixter from any Originator, such sale shall be effected under, and in strict compliance with the terms of, the applicable Transfer Agreement, including, without limitation, the terms relating to the amount and timing of payments to be made to the applicable Originator in respect of the purchase price for such Receivable.

Section 7.2 Negative Covenants of the Seller Parties. Until the date on which the Aggregate Unpaids have been indefeasibly paid in full and this Agreement terminates in accordance with its terms, each Seller Party hereby covenants, as to itself, that:

(a) Name Change, Offices and Records. Such Seller Party will not change its name, identity, state of incorporation, corporate structure or organizational number, if any, or relocate its chief executive office or any office where Records are kept unless it shall have: (i) given each Managing Agent at least forty-five (45) days’ prior written notice thereof and (ii) delivered to each Managing Agent all financing statements, instruments and other documents requested by such Managing Agent in connection with such change or relocation.

(b) Change in Payment Instructions to Obligors. Except as may be required by the Agent pursuant to Section 8.2(b), such Seller Party will not add or terminate any bank as a Collection Bank, or make any change in the instructions to Obligors regarding payments to be made to any Lock-Box or Collection Account, unless the Agent and each Managing Agent shall have received, at least ten (10) days before the proposed effective date therefor, (i) written notice of such addition, termination or change and (ii) with respect to the addition of a Collection Bank or a Collection Account or Lock-Box, an executed Collection Account Agreement with respect to the new Collection Account or Lock-Box; provided, however, that the Servicer may make changes in instructions to Obligors regarding payments if such new instructions require such Obligor to make payments to another existing Collection Account.

(c) Modifications to Contracts and Credit and Collection Policy. Such Seller Party will not make any change to the Credit and Collection Policy that could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the collectibility of the Receivables or decrease the credit quality of any newly created Receivables, unless required to do so by a change in any applicable law, rule or regulation. Except as provided in Section 8.2(d), the Servicer will not extend, amend or otherwise modify the terms of any Receivable or any Contract related thereto other than in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy.

(d) Sales, Liens. Seller will not sell, assign (by operation of law or otherwise) or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, or create or suffer to exist any Adverse Claim upon (including, without limitation, the filing of any financing statement) or with respect to, any Receivable, Related Security or Collections, or upon or with respect to any Contract under which any Receivable arises, or any Lock-Box or Collection Account, or assign any right to receive income with respect thereto (other than, in each case, the creation of the interests therein in favor of the Agent and the Purchasers provided for herein), and Seller will defend the right, title and

interest of the Agent and the Purchasers in, to and under any of the foregoing property, against all claims of third parties claiming through or under Seller or any Originator. Seller will not create or suffer to exist any mortgage, pledge, security interest, encumbrance, lien, charge or other similar arrangement on any of its inventory, the sale or lease of which would give rise to a Receivable.

(e) Net Receivables Balance. At no time prior to the Amortization Date shall Seller permit the Net Receivables Balance to be less than an amount equal to the sum of (i) the Aggregate Capital plus (ii) the Aggregate Reserves.

(f) Amortization Date Determination. Seller will not designate the “Amortization Date” (as defined in the Receivables Sale Agreement), or send any written notice to Anixter in respect thereof, without the prior written consent of each Managing Agent, except with respect to the occurrence of such Amortization Date arising pursuant to Section 5.1(d) of the Receivables Sale Agreement. Seller will not, and will not permit Anixter to, designate the “Amortization Date” (as defined in each Transfer Agreement), or send any written notice to any Originator in respect thereof, without the prior written consent of each Managing Agent, except with respect to the occurrence of such Amortization Date arising pursuant to Section 5.1(d) of such Transfer Agreement.

(g) Applicable Laws. Seller will not request any Incremental Purchase, and none of the Seller Parties or any Originator shall use, and shall procure that its Subsidiaries and its or their respective directors, officers, employees and agents shall not use, the direct or indirect proceeds of any Purchase (A) in furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to pay, or authorization of the payment or giving of money, or anything else of value, to any Person in violation of any Anti-Corruption Laws, (B) for the purpose of funding, financing or facilitating any activities, business or transaction of or with any Sanctioned Person, or in any Sanctioned Country, or (C) in any manner that would result in the violation of any Sanctions applicable to any party hereto.

ARTICLE VIII
ADMINISTRATION AND COLLECTION

Section 8.1 Designation of Servicer.

(a) The servicing, administration and collection of the Receivables shall be conducted by such Person (the “Servicer”) so designated from time to time in accordance with this Section 8.1. Anixter is hereby designated as, and hereby agrees to perform the duties and obligations of, the Servicer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Anixter shall not resign as the Servicer without the prior written consent of each Managing Agent. The Managing Agent may at any time designate as Servicer any Person to succeed Anixter or any Successor Servicer. It is understood and agreed that, solely with respect to the Accu-Tech Receivables, Accu-Tech is hereby designated as sub-servicer and will perform all of the duties and obligations of the Servicer with respect to the Accu-Tech Receivables.

(b) Without the prior written consent of the Managing Agents, Anixter shall not be permitted to delegate any of its duties or responsibilities as Servicer to any Person other than (i) Seller, (ii) Accu-Tech with respect to the Accu-Tech Receivables and (iii) with respect to certain

Charged-Off Receivables, outside collection agencies in accordance with its customary practices. Neither the Seller nor Accu-Tech shall be permitted to further delegate to any other Person any of the duties or responsibilities of the Servicer delegated to it by Anixter. If at any time the Managing Agents shall designate as Servicer any Person other than Anixter, all duties and responsibilities theretofore delegated by Anixter to Seller may, at the discretion of the Managing Agents, be terminated forthwith on notice given by the Agent to Anixter and to Seller.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing subsection (b), if Anixter shall have delegated its duties and responsibilities as Servicer to any Person, (i) Anixter shall be and remain primarily liable to the Agent, the Managing Agents and the Purchasers for the full and prompt performance of all duties and responsibilities of the Servicer (other than any Servicer appointed by the Managing Agents without Anixter’s consent) hereunder, (ii) the Agent, the Managing Agents and the Purchasers shall be entitled to deal exclusively with Anixter in matters relating to the discharge by the Servicer (other than any Servicer appointed by the Managing Agents without Anixter’s consent) of its duties and responsibilities hereunder and (iii) none of the Agent, the Managing Agents or the Purchasers shall be required to give notice, demand or other communication to any Person other than Anixter in order for communication to the Servicer (other than any Servicer appointed by the Managing Agents without Anixter’s consent) and its sub-servicer or other delegate with respect thereto to be accomplished. Anixter, at all times that it is the Servicer, shall be responsible for providing any sub-servicer or other delegate of the Servicer with any notice given to the Servicer under this Agreement.

Section 8.2 Duties of Servicer.

(a) The Servicer shall take or cause to be taken all such actions as may be necessary or advisable to collect each Receivable from time to time, all in accordance with applicable laws, rules and regulations, with reasonable care and diligence, and in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy.

(b) The Servicer will instruct all Obligors to pay all Collections directly to a Lock-Box or Collection Account. The Servicer shall effect a Collection Account Agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent with each bank maintaining a Collection Account at any time. In the case of any remittances received in any Lock-Box or Collection Account that shall have been identified, to the satisfaction of the Servicer, to not constitute Collections or other proceeds of the Receivables or the Related Security, the Servicer shall promptly remit such items to the Person identified to it as being the owner of such remittances. From and after the date the Agent delivers to any Collection Bank a Collection Notice pursuant to Section 8.3, the Agent may request that the Servicer, and the Servicer thereupon promptly shall instruct all Obligors with respect to the Receivables, to remit all payments thereon to a new depositary account specified by the Agent and, at all times thereafter, Seller and the Servicer shall not deposit or otherwise credit, and shall not permit any other Person to deposit or otherwise credit to such new depositary account any cash or payment item other than Collections.

(c) The Servicer shall administer the Collections in accordance with the procedures described herein and in Article II. The Servicer shall set aside and hold in trust for the account of Seller and the Purchasers their respective shares of the Collections in accordance with

Article II. The Servicer shall, upon the request of the Agent, in its discretion or at the direction of the Required Financial Institutions, segregate, in a manner acceptable to the Agent and the Required Financial Institutions, all cash, checks and other instruments received by it from time to time constituting Collections from the general funds of the Servicer or Seller prior to the remittance thereof in accordance with Article II. If the Servicer shall be required to segregate Collections pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Servicer shall segregate and deposit with a bank designated by the Agent such allocable share of Collections of Receivables set aside for the Purchasers on the first Business Day following receipt by the Servicer of such Collections, duly endorsed or with duly executed instruments of transfer.

(d) The Servicer may, in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy, extend the maturity of any Receivable or adjust the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable as the Servicer determines to be appropriate to maximize Collections thereof; provided, however, that such extension or adjustment shall not alter the status of such Receivable as a Delinquent Receivable or Charged-Off Receivable or limit the rights of the Agent, the Managing Agents or the Purchasers under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, at any time that an Amortization Event is continuing, the Agent, in its discretion or at the direction of the Required Financial Institutions, shall have the absolute and unlimited right to direct the Servicer to commence or settle any legal action with respect to any Receivable or to foreclose upon or repossess any Related Security.

(e) The Servicer shall hold for Seller and the Purchasers all Records that (i) evidence or relate to the Receivables, the related Contracts and Related Security or (ii) are otherwise necessary or desirable to collect the Receivables and shall, as soon as practicable upon demand of the Agent, in its discretion or at the direction of the Required Financial Institutions, at any time following an Amortization Event or a Potential Amortization Event, deliver or make available to the Agent all such Records, at a place selected by the Agent, with the consent or at the direction of the Required Financial Institutions. The Servicer shall, from time to time at the request of any Managing Agent, furnish to such Managing Agent (promptly after any such request) a calculation of the amounts set aside for the Purchasers pursuant to Article II.

Section 8.3 Collection Notices. Upon the occurrence of and during the continuation of an Amortization Event or Potential Amortization Event, the Agent is authorized at any time to date and to deliver to the Collection Banks the Collection Notices, and shall deliver such Collection Notices if directed to do so by the Required Financial Institutions. Seller hereby transfers to the Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers, effective when the Agent delivers such notice, the exclusive ownership and control of each Lock-Box and the Collection Accounts. In case any authorized signatory of Seller whose signature appears on a Collection Account Agreement shall cease to have such authority before the delivery of such notice, such Collection Notice shall nevertheless be valid as if such authority had remained in force. Seller hereby authorizes the Agent, and agrees that the Agent shall be entitled to, following the delivery of the Collection Notice (i) endorse Seller’s name on checks and other instruments representing Collections, (ii) enforce the Receivables, the related Contracts and the Related Security and (iii) take such action as shall be necessary or desirable to cause all cash, checks and other instruments constituting Collections of Receivables to come into the possession of the Agent rather than Seller.

Section 8.4 Responsibilities of Seller. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the exercise by the Agent, the Managing Agents and the Purchasers of their rights hereunder shall not release the Servicer, any Originator or Seller from any of their duties or obligations with respect to any Receivables or under the related Contracts. None of the Agent, the Managing Agents or the Purchasers shall have any obligation or liability with respect to any Receivables or related Contracts, nor shall any of them be obligated to perform the obligations of Seller.

Section 8.5 Reports. The Servicer shall prepare and forward to each Managing Agent:

(a) on each Determination Date, a Monthly Report;

(b) if (x) Rating Level II is in effect or (y) Rating Level I is in effect and the Servicer has notified the Managing Agents that it will deliver Reports as if Rating Level II were in effect, on the last Business Day of each calendar month, a Mid-Month Report containing information relating to the period from the first day of the related fiscal month to and including the Friday closest to the fifteenth day of such calendar month;

(c) if Rating Level III is in effect, on the Tuesday of each week (or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day), a Weekly Report containing information relating to the Weekly Period then most recently ended;

(d) if Rating Level IV is in effect, on each Business Day, a Daily Report containing information relating to the period since the last delivery of any Report hereunder;

(e) at such times as either Managing Agent shall reasonably request, a report in the form of a Monthly Report updating the information contained in the most recent Monthly Report; and

(f) at such times as either Managing Agent shall request, a listing by Obligor of all Receivables together with an aging of such Receivables.

Section 8.6 Servicing Fees. In consideration of Anixter’s agreement to act as Servicer hereunder, the Purchasers hereby agree that, so long as Anixter shall continue to perform as Servicer hereunder, Seller shall pay over to Anixter a fee (the “Servicing Fee”) on the first calendar day of each month, in arrears for the immediately preceding month, equal to 0.37% times the Outstanding Balance of all Receivables generated during such immediately preceding calendar month, as compensation for its servicing activities.

ARTICLE IX
AMORTIZATION EVENTS

Section 9.1 Amortization Events. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute an Amortization Event:

(d) (i) Any Seller Party or any of its Significant Subsidiaries shall generally not pay its debts as such debts become due or shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally or shall make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or (ii) any proceeding shall be instituted by or against any Seller Party or any of its Significant Subsidiaries seeking to adjudicate it bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking liquidation, winding up, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, protection, relief or composition of it or its debts under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors, or seeking the entry of an order for relief or the appointment of a receiver, trustee or other similar official for it or any substantial part of its property, provided that in the event any such proceedings shall have been instituted against such Seller Party or Significant Subsidiary, such proceedings shall have continued undismissed or unstayed and in effect for a period of sixty (60) consecutive days or an order for relief shall have been entered in such proceedings, or (iii) any Seller Party or any of its Significant Subsidiaries shall take any corporate action to authorize any of the actions set forth in clauses (i) or (ii) above in this subsection (d).

(e) Seller shall fail to comply with the terms of Section 2.6.

(c) taxes imposed by the jurisdiction in which such Indemnified Party’s principal executive office is located, on or measured by the overall net income of such Indemnified Party to

the extent that the computation of such taxes is consistent with the characterization for income tax purposes of the acquisition by the Purchasers of Purchaser Interests as a loan or loans by the Purchasers to Seller secured by the Receivables, the Related Security, the Collection Accounts and the Collections.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing indemnification, Seller shall indemnify the Agent, the Managing Agents and the Purchasers for Indemnified Amounts (including, without limitation, losses in respect of uncollectible receivables, regardless of whether reimbursement therefor would constitute recourse to Seller) relating to or resulting from:

(iii) any failure of Seller, the Servicer or any Originator to perform its duties, covenants or other obligations in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document;

(iv) any products liability, personal injury or damage suit, or other similar claim arising out of or in connection with merchandise, insurance or services that are the subject of any Contract or any Receivable;

(v) any dispute, claim, offset or defense (other than discharge in bankruptcy of the Obligor) of the Obligor to the payment of any Receivable (including, without limitation, a defense based on such Receivable or the related Contract not being a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Obligor enforceable against it in accordance with its terms), or any other claim resulting from the sale of the merchandise or service related to such Receivable or the furnishing or failure to furnish such merchandise or services;

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

(vii) any investigation, litigation or proceeding related to or arising from this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, the transactions contemplated hereby, the use of the proceeds of an Incremental Purchase or a Reinvestment, the ownership of the Purchaser Interests or any other investigation, litigation or proceeding relating to Seller, the Servicer or any Originator in which any Indemnified Party becomes involved as a result of any of the transactions contemplated hereby;

(viii) any inability to litigate any claim against any Obligor in respect of any Receivable as a result of such Obligor being immune from civil and commercial law and suit on the grounds of sovereignty or otherwise from any legal action, suit or proceeding;

(ix) any Amortization Event described in Section 9.1(d);

(x) any failure of Seller to acquire and maintain legal and equitable title to, and ownership of any Receivable and the Related Security and Collections with respect thereto from Anixter, free and clear of any Adverse Claim (other than as created hereunder); or any failure of Seller to give reasonably equivalent value to Anixter under the Receivables Sale Agreement in consideration of the transfer by Anixter of any Receivable, or any attempt by any Person to void such transfer under statutory provisions or common law or equitable action;

(xi) any failure of Anixter to acquire and maintain legal and equitable title to, and ownership of any Receivable and the Related Security and Collections with respect thereto from the applicable Originator free and clear of any Adverse Claim (other than as created hereunder); or any failure of Anixter to give reasonably equivalent value to the applicable Originator under the applicable Transfer Agreement in consideration of the transfer by such Originator of any Receivable, or any attempt by any Person to void such transfer under statutory provisions or common law or equitable action;

(xii) any failure to vest and maintain vested in the Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers, or to transfer to the Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers, legal and equitable title to, and ownership of, a first priority perfected undivided percentage ownership interest (to the extent of the Purchaser Interests contemplated hereunder) or security interest in the Receivables, the Related Security and the Collections, free and clear of any Adverse Claim (except as created by the Transaction Documents);

(xiii) the failure to have filed, or any delay in filing, financing statements or other similar instruments or documents under the UCC of any applicable jurisdiction or other applicable laws with respect to any Receivable, the Related Security and Collections with respect thereto, and the proceeds of any thereof, whether at the time of any Incremental Purchase or Reinvestment or at any subsequent time;

(xiv) any action or omission by any Seller Party which reduces or impairs the rights of the Agent or the Purchasers with respect to any Receivable or the value of any such Receivable;

(xvi) the failure of any Receivable included in the calculation of the Net Receivables Balance as an Eligible Receivable to be an Eligible Receivable at the time so included.

Section 10.2 Increased Cost and Reduced Return.

(a) If any Regulatory Requirement (i) subjects any Purchaser or any Funding Source to any charge or withholding on or with respect to any Funding Agreement or this Agreement or a Purchaser’s or Funding Source's obligations under a Funding Agreement or this Agreement, or on or with respect to the Receivables, or changes the basis of taxation of payments to any Purchaser or any Funding Source of any amounts payable under any Funding Agreement or this Agreement (except for changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of a Purchaser or Funding Source or taxes excluded by Section 10.1), (ii) imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve, assessment, fee, tax, insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or liabilities of a Funding Source or a Purchaser, or credit extended by a Funding Source or a Purchaser pursuant to a Funding Agreement or this Agreement or (iii) imposes any other condition the result of which is to increase the cost to a Funding Source or a Purchaser of performing its obligations under a Funding Agreement or this Agreement, or to reduce the rate of return on a Funding Source's or Purchaser’s capital or assets as a consequence of its obligations under a Funding Agreement or this Agreement, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by a Funding Source or a Purchaser under a Funding Agreement or this Agreement, or to require any payment calculated by reference to the amount of interests or loans held or interest received by it, then, upon demand by the Agent or the relevant Managing Agent, Seller shall pay to the Agent, for the benefit of the relevant Funding Source or Purchaser, such amounts charged to such Funding Source or Purchaser or such amounts to otherwise compensate such Funding Source or such Purchaser for such increased cost or such reduction. The term “Regulatory Requirement” shall mean (i) the adoption after the date hereof of any applicable law, rule or regulation (including any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy or liquidity coverage) or any change therein after the date hereof, or (ii) any change after the date hereof in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency; provided that for purposes of this definition, (x) the United States bank regulatory rule titled Risk-Based Capital Guidelines; Capital Adequacy Guidelines; Capital Maintenance: Regulatory Capital; Impact of Modification to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles; Consolidation of Asset-Backed Commercial Paper Programs; and Other Related Issues, adopted on December 15, 2009, (y) the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder, issued in connection therewith or in implementation thereof, and (z) all requests, rules, guidelines and directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel II or Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be a “Regulatory Requirement”, regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued or implemented. Seller acknowledges that any Purchaser or Funding Source may institute measures in anticipation of a Regulatory Requirement (including, without limitation, the imposition of internal charges on such Purchaser’s interests or obligations under this Agreement), and may commence allocating charges to or seeking compensation from Seller under this Section 10.2 in connection with such measures, in advance of the effective date of such Regulatory Requirement, and Seller agrees to pay such charges or compensation to the relevant Managing Agent, for the benefit of such Purchaser or Funding Source, following demand

therefor without regard to whether such effective date has occurred. Seller further acknowledges that any charge or compensation demanded hereunder may take the form of a monthly charge to be assessed by such Purchaser.

(b) A certificate of the applicable Purchaser or Funding Source setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Purchaser or Funding Source pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 10.2 shall be delivered to the Seller and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Seller shall pay such Purchaser or Funding Source the amount as due on any such certificate on the next Settlement Date following receipt of such notice.

(c) If any Purchaser or any Funding Source has or anticipates having any claim for compensation from the Seller pursuant to clause (iii) of the definition of Regulatory Requirement appearing in paragraph (a) of this Section 10.2, and such Purchaser or Funding Source believes that having the facility publicly rated by one credit rating agency would reduce the amount of such compensation by an amount deemed by such Purchaser or Funding Source to be material, such Purchaser or Funding Source shall provide written notice to the Seller and the Servicer (a “Ratings Request”) that such Purchaser or Funding Source intends to request a public rating of the facility from one credit rating agency selected by such Purchaser or Funding Source and reasonably acceptable to the Seller, of at least the equivalent of A by S&P and A2 by Xxxxx’x (the “Required Rating”). The Seller and the Servicer agree that they shall cooperate with such Purchaser’s or Funding Source’s efforts to obtain the Required Rating, and shall provide the applicable credit rating agency (either directly or through distribution to the Agent, Purchaser or Funding Source), any information requested by such credit rating agency for purposes of providing and monitoring the Required Rating. The Purchasers shall pay the initial fees payable to the credit rating agency for providing the rating and all ongoing fees payable to the credit rating agency for their continued monitoring of the rating. Nothing in this Section 10.2(c) shall preclude any Purchaser or Funding Source from demanding compensation from the Seller pursuant to Section 10.2(a) hereof at any time and without regard to whether the Required Rating shall have been obtained, or shall require any Purchaser or Funding Source to obtain any rating on the facility prior to demanding any such compensation from the Seller.

Section 10.3 Other Costs and Expenses. Seller shall pay to the Agent, the Managing Agents and Purchasers on demand all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby and the other documents to be delivered hereunder, including without limitation, the cost of any Purchaser’s auditors auditing the books, records and procedures of Seller, reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of legal counsel for the Purchasers, Managing Agents and the Agent with respect thereto and with respect to advising Purchasers, the Managing Agents and the Agent as to their respective rights and remedies under this Agreement. Seller shall pay to the Agent or the applicable Managing Agent on demand any and all costs and expenses of the Agent, the Managing Agents and the Purchasers, if any, including reasonable counsel fees and expenses in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement and the other documents delivered hereunder and in connection with any restructuring or workout of this Agreement or such documents, or the administration of this Agreement following an Amortization Event.

ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATIONS

Section 12.1 Assignments.

(a) The Seller, each Financial Institution and each other party hereto hereby agree and consent to the complete or partial assignment (or participation) by each Conduit of all or any portion of its rights under, interest in, title to and obligations under this Agreement (a) to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. or other Funding Sources approved by the Seller, in any case, pursuant to a Liquidity Agreement, or (b) to another commercial paper issuing conduit for which the Managing Agent of such assigning Conduit acts as administrator, and upon such assignment, such Conduit shall be released from its obligations, if any, so assigned. Further, Seller and each Financial Institution hereby agree that any assignee of a Conduit of this Agreement or all or any of the Purchaser Interests of such Conduit shall have all of the rights and benefits under this Agreement as if the term “Conduit” explicitly referred to such party, and no such assignment shall in any way impair the rights and benefits of the Conduits hereunder. Neither the Seller nor the Servicer shall have the right to assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement.

(b) Any Financial Institution may at any time and from time to time, assign to one or more Persons (“Purchasing Financial Institutions”) all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and its Liquidity Agreement pursuant to an assignment agreement, substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit VII hereto (the “Assignment Agreement”) executed by such Purchasing Financial Institution and such selling Financial Institution. The consent of the Conduit or Conduits in such Financial Institution’s Purchase Group and the Agent shall be required prior to the effectiveness of any such assignment. Each assignee of a Financial Institution must have a short-term debt rating of A-1 or better by S&P and P-1 by Xxxxx’x and must agree to deliver to the Agent, promptly following any request therefor by the Managing Agent for its Purchase Group or the affected Conduit or Conduits, an enforceability opinion in form and substance satisfactory to such Managing Agent and such Conduit or Conduits. Upon delivery of the executed Assignment Agreement to the Agent (with a copy to the Seller), such selling Financial Institution shall be released from its obligations hereunder to the extent of such assignment. Thereafter the Purchasing Financial Institution shall for all purposes be a Financial Institution party to this Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Financial Institution under this Agreement to the same extent as if it were an original party hereto and no further consent or action by Seller, the Purchasers or the Agent shall be required.

Section 12.2 Participations. Any Financial Institution may, in the ordinary course of its business at any time sell to one or more Persons (each a “Participant”) participating interests in its Pro Rata Share of the Purchaser Interests of the Financial Institutions or any other interest of such Financial Institution hereunder. Notwithstanding any such sale by a Financial Institution of a participating interest to a Participant, such Financial Institution’s rights and obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Financial Institution shall remain solely responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and Seller, the Conduits, the Managing Agents and the Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Financial Institution in connection

with such Financial Institution’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Each Financial Institution agrees that any agreement between such Financial Institution and any such Participant in respect of such participating interest shall not restrict such Financial Institution’s right to agree to any amendment, supplement, waiver or modification to this Agreement, except for any amendment, supplement, waiver or modification described in Section 13.1(b)(i).

Section 12.3 Extension of Liquidity Termination Date. The Seller may advise any Managing Agent in writing of its desire to extend the Liquidity Termination Date for an additional 364 days, provided such request is made not more than 60 days prior to, and not less than 40 days prior to, the then current Liquidity Termination Date. Each Managing Agent so advised by the Seller shall promptly notify each Financial Institution in its related Purchase Group of any such request and each such Financial Institution shall notify its related Managing Agent, the Agent and the Seller of its decision to accept or decline the request for such extension no later than 30 days prior to the then current Liquidity Termination Date (it being understood that each Financial Institution may accept or decline such request in its sole discretion and on such terms as it may elect, and the failure to so notify its Managing Agent, the Agent and the Seller shall be deemed an election not to extend by such Financial Institution and, with respect to SunTrust and JPMCB, their respective Conduits; it being further understood that SunTrust’s or JPMCB’s decision to decline an extension request shall also constitute the decision of its related Conduit to decline such extension request). In the event that at least one Financial Institution and the Conduit in its Purchase Group agree to extend the Liquidity Termination Date, the Seller Parties, the Agent, the applicable Conduit or Conduits, the extending Financial Institutions and the applicable Managing Agent or Agents shall enter into such documents as such extending Financial Institutions may deem necessary or appropriate to reflect such extension, and all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by such Financial Institutions, such Conduit or Conduits, such Managing Agent or Agents and the Agent (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) shall be paid by the Seller. In the event that any Financial Institution (a) declines the request to extend the Liquidity Termination Date or (b) is in a Purchase Group with respect to which the Seller did not seek an extension of the Liquidity Termination Date (each such Financial institution being referred to herein as a “Non-Renewing Financial Institution”), and, in the case of a Non-Renewing Financial Institution described in clause (a), the Back-up Commitment and Liquidity Commitment of such Non-Renewing Financial Institution are not assigned to another Person in accordance with the terms of this Article XII prior to the then current Liquidity Termination Date, the Purchase Limit shall be reduced by an amount equal to each such Non-Renewing Financial Institution’s Back-up Commitment on the then current Liquidity Termination Date.

Section 12.4 Federal Reserve. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any Financial Institution may at any time pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its rights (including, without limitation, any Purchaser Interest and any rights to payment of Capital and Yield) under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Financial Institution to a Federal Reserve Bank, without notice to or consent of the Seller, any Managing Agent or the Agent; provided that no such pledge or grant of a security interest shall release a Financial Institution from any of its obligations hereunder, or substitute any such pledgee or grantee for such Financial Institution as a party hereto.

ARTICLE XIII

Section 13.1 Waivers and Amendments.

(a) No failure or delay on the part of the Agent, any Managing Agent or any Purchaser in exercising any power, right or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or remedy preclude any other further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power, right or remedy.

Any waiver of this Agreement shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

The Conduits, the Seller, the Servicer, the Managing Agents and the Agent, at the direction of the Required Financial Institutions, may enter into written modifications or waivers of any provisions of this Agreement, provided, however, that no such modification or waiver shall:

Any modification or waiver made in accordance with this Section 13.1 shall apply to each of the Purchasers equally and shall be binding upon Seller, the Purchasers, the Managing Agents and the Agent.

Section 13.2 Notices.

Seller agrees to deliver promptly to the Agent or the applicable Managing Agent a written confirmation of each telephonic notice signed by an authorized officer of Seller; provided, however, the absence of such confirmation shall not affect the validity of such notice. If the written confirmation differs from the action taken by the Agent or such Managing Agent, the records of the Agent or such Managing Agent shall govern absent manifest error.

Section 13.3 Ratable Payments. If any Purchaser, whether by setoff or otherwise, has payment made to it with respect to any portion of the Aggregate Unpaids owing to such Purchaser (other than payments received pursuant to Section 10.2 or 10.3) in a greater proportion than that received by any other Purchaser entitled to receive a ratable share of such Aggregate Unpaids, such Purchaser agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase for cash without recourse or warranty a portion of such Aggregate Unpaids held by the other Purchasers so that after such purchase each Purchaser will hold its ratable proportion of such Aggregate Unpaids; provided that if all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from such Purchaser, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

Section 13.4 Protection of Ownership Interests of the Purchasers.

(a) Seller agrees that from time to time, at its expense, it will promptly execute and deliver all instruments and documents, and take all actions, that may be necessary or desirable, or that the Agent or any Managing Agent may request, to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the Purchaser Interests, or to enable the Agent or the Purchasers to exercise and enforce their rights and remedies hereunder.

Section 13.15 Characterization.

(a) It is the intention of the parties hereto that each purchase hereunder shall constitute and be treated as an absolute and irrevocable sale, which purchase shall provide the applicable Purchaser with the full benefits of ownership of the applicable Purchaser Interest. Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, each sale of a Purchaser Interest hereunder is made without recourse to Seller; provided, however, that (i) Seller shall be liable to each Purchaser and the Agent for all representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities made by Seller pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and (ii) such sale does not constitute and is not intended to result in an assumption by any Purchaser or the Agent or any assignee thereof of any obligation of Seller or any Originator or any other person arising in connection with the Receivables, the Related Security, or the related Contracts, or any other obligations of Seller or any Originator.

(b) In addition to any ownership interest which the Agent may from time to time acquire pursuant hereto, Seller hereby grants to the Agent for the ratable benefit of the Purchasers a valid and perfected security interest in all of Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under all Receivables now existing or hereafter arising, the Collections, each Lock-Box, each Collection Account, all Related Security, all other rights and payments relating to such Receivables, and all proceeds of any thereof prior to all other liens on and security interests therein to secure the prompt and complete payment of the Aggregate Unpaids. The Agent and the Purchasers shall have, in addition to the rights and remedies that they may have under this Agreement, all other rights and remedies provided to a secured creditor under the UCC and other applicable law, which rights and remedies shall be cumulative.

(c) If, notwithstanding the intention of the parties expressed above, any sale or transfer by Seller hereunder shall be characterized as a secured loan and not a sale or such sale shall for any reason be ineffective or unenforceable (any of the foregoing being a “Recharacterization”), then this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a security agreement under the UCC and other applicable law. In the case of any Recharacterization, Seller represents and warrants that each remittance of Collections to the Agent or the Purchasers hereunder will have been (i) in payment of a debt incurred in the ordinary course of business or financial affairs and (ii) made in the ordinary course of business or financial affairs.

Section 13.16 Liquidity Agreement. JPMCB in its capacity as Managing Agent in respect of the Chariot Purchase Group shall ensure that, at all times from and after May 30, 2014 until the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, the entire “Back-Up Commitment” of Chariot under this Agreement is supported in full by a commitment from JPMCB, or any other bank or financial institution to which the Seller has consented (such consent not to be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed), under a Liquidity Agreement to which Chariot is a party.
