This AMENDED AND RESTATED RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AGREEMENT (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, this “Agreement”) is entered into as of June 14, 2013, among SWIFT RECEIVABLES COMPANY II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as seller (the “Seller”), SWIFT TRANSPORTATION SERVICES, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Swift”), as servicer (in such capacity, together with its successors and permitted assigns in such capacity, the “Servicer”), the various Conduit Purchasers from time to time party hereto, the various Related Committed Purchasers from time to time party hereto, the various Purchaser Agents from time to time party hereto, the various LC Participants from time to time party hereto and PNC BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as administrator (in such capacity, together with its successors and assigns in such capacity, the “Administrator”) and as issuer of Letters of Credit (in such capacity, together with its successors and assigns in such capacity, the “LC Bank”).
Reference is hereby made to that certain Receivables Purchase Agreement dated June 8, 2011 among the Seller, the Servicer, the Conduit Purchasers party thereto, the Related Committed Purchasers party thereto, the LC Participants party thereto, the Administrator and the LC Bank (as amended, the “Original Purchase Agreement”). The parties hereto have agreed to amend and restate the Original Purchase Agreement in its entirety and to continue to extend the credit facilities on the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements, provisions and covenants contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
DEFINITIONS
Certain terms that are capitalized and used throughout this Agreement are defined in Exhibit I. References in the Exhibits, Schedules and Annexes hereto to the “Agreement” refer to this Agreement, as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time.


ARTICLE I.

AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF THE PURCHASES
Section 1.1.Purchases.
(a)On the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, the Seller may, from time to time before the Facility Termination Date, (i) ratably (based on each Purchaser Group’s Ratable Share) request that each Purchaser Group’s Conduit Purchaser or, only if there is no Conduit Purchaser in such Purchaser Group or a Conduit Purchaser denies such request or is unable to fund (and provides notice of such denial or inability to the Seller, the Administrator and its Purchaser Agent), ratably (based on each Purchaser Group’s Ratable Share) request that its Related Committed Purchasers, make purchases of and reinvestments in undivided percentage ownership interests with regard to the Purchased Interest from the Seller from time to time from the date hereof to the Facility Termination Date and (ii) request that the LC Bank issue or cause the issuance of Letters of Credit, in each case subject to the terms hereof (each such purchase, reinvestment or issuance is referred to herein as a “Purchase”). Subject to Section 1.4(b) concerning reinvestments, at no time will a Conduit Purchaser have any obligation to make a Purchase. Each Related Committed Purchaser severally hereby agrees, on the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, to make Purchases of undivided percentage ownership interests with regard to the Purchased Interest from the Seller from time to time from the date hereof to the Facility Termination Date, based on the applicable Purchaser Group’s Ratable Share of each Purchase requested pursuant to Section 1.2(a) (and, in the case of each Related Committed Purchaser, its Commitment Percentage of its Purchaser Group’s Ratable Share of such Purchase) and, on the terms of and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the LC Bank agrees to issue Letters of Credit in return for (and each LC Participant hereby severally agrees to make participation advances in connection with any draws under such Letters of Credit equal to such LC Participant’s Pro Rata Share of such draws) undivided percentage ownership interests with regard to the Purchased Interest from the Seller from time to time from the date hereof to the Facility Termination Date; provided, that under no circumstances shall any Purchaser make any Purchase (including, without limitation, any mandatory deemed Purchases pursuant to Section 1.1(b)) or issue any Letters of Credit hereunder, as applicable, if, after giving effect to such Purchase, the (i) aggregate outstanding amount of the Capital funded by such Purchaser, when added to all other Capital funded by all other Purchasers in such Purchaser’s Purchaser Group would exceed (A) its Purchaser Group’s Group Commitment (as the same may be reduced from time to time pursuant to Section 1.1(c)) minus (B) the related LC Participant’s Pro Rata Share of the face amount of any outstanding Letters of Credit, (ii) Aggregate Capital plus the LC Participation Amount would exceed the Purchase Limit or (iii) LC Participation Amount would exceed the aggregate of the Commitments of the LC Bank and the LC Participants.
The Seller may, subject to the requirements and conditions herein, use the proceeds of any Purchase by the Purchasers hereunder to satisfy its Reimbursement Obligation to the LC Bank and the LC Participants (ratably, based on the outstanding amounts funded by the LC Bank and each such LC Participant) pursuant to Section 1.15.
-2-

(b)In addition, in the event the Seller fails to reimburse the LC Bank for the full amount of any drawing under any Letter of Credit on the applicable Drawing Date (out of its own funds available therefor) pursuant to Section 1.15, then the Seller shall, automatically (and without the requirement of any further action on the part of any Person hereunder), be deemed to have requested a new Purchase from the Conduit Purchasers or Related Committed Purchasers, as applicable, on such date, on the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, in an amount equal to the amount of such Reimbursement Obligation at such time without resulting in a Termination Event hereunder. Subject to the limitations on funding set forth in paragraph (a) above (and the other requirements and conditions herein), the Conduit Purchasers or Related Committed Purchasers, as applicable, shall fund such deemed Purchase request and deliver the proceeds thereof directly to the Administrator to be immediately distributed to the LC Bank and the applicable LC Participants (ratably, based on the outstanding amounts funded by the LC Bank and each such LC Participant) in satisfaction of the Reimbursement Obligation pursuant to Section 1.15.
(c)The Seller may, upon fifteen (15) days’ written notice to the Administrator and each Purchaser Agent, terminate the purchase facility in whole or reduce the unfunded portion of the Purchase Limit in whole or in part (but not below the amount which would cause the Group Capital of any Purchaser Group plus the related LC Participant’s Pro Rata Share of the face amount of any outstanding Letters of Credit to exceed its Group Commitment (after giving effect to such reduction)); provided that each partial reduction shall be in the amount of at least $5,000,000, and in integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and that, unless terminated in whole, the Purchase Limit shall in no event be reduced below $50,000,000. Each reduction in the Commitments hereunder shall be made ratably among the Purchasers in accordance with their respective Commitments. The Administrator shall advise the Purchaser Agents of any notice received by it pursuant to this Section 1.1(c); it being understood that (in addition to and without limiting any other requirements for termination, prepayment and/or the funding of the LC Collateral Account hereunder) no such termination or reduction shall be effective unless and until (i) in the case of a termination, the amount on deposit in the LC Collateral Account is at least equal to the then outstanding LC Participation Amount and (ii) in the case of a partial reduction, the amount on deposit in the LC Collateral Account is at least equal to the positive difference between the then outstanding LC Participation Amount and the Purchase Limit as so reduced by such partial reduction.
(d)As of each date a Periodic Report is delivered, the sum of the LC Participation Amount and the Aggregate Capital shall not be less than the Minimum Usage Amount.
Section 1.2.Making Purchases. Each Funded Purchase (but not reinvestment) of undivided percentage ownership interests with regard to the Purchased Interest hereunder may be made on any day upon the Seller’s irrevocable written notice in the form of Annex B (each, a “Purchase Notice”) delivered to the Administrator and each Purchaser Agent in accordance with Section 6.2 (which notice must be received by the Administrator and each Purchaser Agent before 2:00 p.m., New York City time) at least two (2) Business Days before the requested Purchase Date, which notice shall specify: (A) in the case of a Funded Purchase (other than one made pursuant to Section 1.15(b)), the amount requested to be paid to the Seller, which shall not
-3-

be less than $300,000 (or such lesser amount as agreed to by the Administrator and the Majority Purchaser Agents) and shall be in integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof, with respect to each Purchaser Group, (B) the date of such Funded Purchase (which shall be a Business Day) and (C) the pro forma calculation of the Purchased Interest after giving effect to the increase in the Aggregate Capital.
(b)On the date of each Funded Purchase (but not reinvestment, issuance of a Letter of Credit or a Funded Purchase pursuant to Section 1.2(e)) of undivided percentage ownership interests with regard to the Purchased Interest hereunder, each applicable Conduit Purchaser or Related Committed Purchaser, as the case may be, shall, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Exhibit II, make available to the Seller in same day funds, at the Administration Account an amount equal to the portion of Capital relating to the undivided percentage ownership interest with regard to the Purchased Interest then being funded by such Purchaser. On or after the date of a Funded Purchase, the Purchaser Agent of a Purchaser Group with more than one Conduit Purchaser may, with prior notice to the Seller, allocate or reallocate any portion of the Capital then being funded by the Purchasers in such Purchaser Agent’s Purchaser Group among the related Conduit Purchasers.
(c)Effective on the date of each Funded Purchase or other Purchase pursuant to this Section 1.2 and each reinvestment pursuant to Section 1.4, the Seller hereby sells and assigns to the Administrator for the benefit of the Purchasers (ratably, based on the sum of the Capital plus the LC Participation Amount outstanding at such time for each such Purchaser) the Purchased Interest.
(d)To secure all of the Seller’s obligations (monetary or otherwise) under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, whether now or hereafter existing or arising, due or to become due, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, the Seller hereby grants to the Administrator, for the benefit of the Purchasers, a security interest in all of the Seller’s right, title and interest (including any undivided interest of the Seller) in, to and under all of the following, whether now or hereafter owned, existing or arising: (i) all Pool Receivables, (ii) all Related Security with respect to such Pool Receivables, (iii) all Collections with respect to such Pool Receivables, (iv) the Lock-Box Accounts and all amounts on deposit therein, and all certificates and instruments, if any, from time to time evidencing such Lock-Box Accounts and amounts on deposit therein, (v) all rights (but none of the obligations) of the Seller under the Sale Agreement, (vi) all proceeds of, and all amounts received or receivable under any or all of, the foregoing and (vii) all of its other property (collectively, the “Pool Assets”). The Seller hereby authorizes the Administrator to file financing statements describing as the collateral covered thereby as “all of the debtor’s personal property or assets” or words to that effect, notwithstanding that such wording may be broader in scope than the collateral described in this Agreement. The Administrator, for the benefit of the Purchasers, shall have, with respect to the Pool Assets, and in addition to all the other rights and remedies available to the Administrator and the Purchasers, all the rights and remedies of a secured party under any applicable UCC.
-4-

(e)Whenever the LC Bank issues a Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 1.12 hereof, in the event that such Letter of Credit is subsequently drawn and such drawn amount shall not have been reimbursed pursuant to Section 1.15 upon such draw or through the distribution of such LC Participant’s Pro Rata Share of the amount on deposit in the LC Collateral Account, each LC Participant shall, automatically and without further action of any kind have irrevocably been deemed to have made a Funded Purchase hereunder in an amount equal to such LC Participant’s Pro Rata Share of such unreimbursed draw and such deemed Funded Purchase shall not result in a Termination Event hereunder. If the LC Bank pays a drawing under a Letter of Credit that is not reimbursed by the Seller on the applicable Drawing Date or through the distribution of the LC Bank’s Pro Rata Share of the amount on deposit in the LC Collateral Account, the LC Bank shall be deemed to have made a Funded Purchase in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of such unreimbursed draw. All such Funded Purchases shall accrue Discount from the date of such draw. In the event that any Letter of Credit expires or is surrendered without being drawn (in whole or in part) then, in such event, the foregoing commitment to make Funded Purchases shall expire with respect to such Letter of Credit and the LC Participation Amount shall automatically reduce by the face amount of the Letter of Credit which is no longer outstanding.
(f)With respect to any Exiting Purchaser, the Seller may, with the written consent of the Administrator and each Purchaser Agent (and, in the case of a new related LC Participant, the LC Bank), add additional Persons as Purchasers (either to an existing Purchaser Group or by creating new Purchaser Groups) or with the written consent of the applicable Purchaser Agent and written acknowledgment of the Administrator (or written consent of the Administrator with respect to Commitment increases exceeding $25,000,000) cause an existing Related Committed Purchaser or related LC Participant to increase its Commitment; provided, that the Commitment of any Related Committed Purchaser or related LC Participant may only be increased with the prior written consent of such Purchaser. Each new Conduit Purchaser, Related Committed Purchaser or related LC Participant (or Purchaser Group) shall become a party hereto, by executing and delivering to the Administrator and the Seller, an Assumption Agreement in the form of Annex C hereto (which Assumption Agreement shall, in the case of any new Purchaser Group, be executed by each Person in such new Purchaser Group).
(g)Each Related Committed Purchaser’s and related LC Participant’s obligations hereunder shall be several, such that the failure of any Related Committed Purchaser or related LC Participant to make any Purchase hereunder or a payment in connection with a drawing under a Letter of Credit hereunder, as the case may be, shall not relieve any other Related Committed Purchaser or related LC Participant of its obligation hereunder to make payment for any Funded Purchase or such drawing. Further, in the event any Related Committed Purchaser or related LC Participant fails to satisfy its obligation to make a Purchase or payment with respect to such drawing as required hereunder, upon receipt of notice of such failure from the Administrator (or any relevant Purchaser Agent), subject to the limitations set forth herein, (i) (A) the non-defaulting Related Committed Purchasers in such defaulting Related Committed Purchaser’s Purchaser Group shall fund the defaulting Related Committed Purchaser’s Commitment Percentage of its Purchaser Group’s Ratable Share of the related Purchase (based on their relative Commitment Percentages (determined without regard to the Commitment Percentage of
-5-

the defaulting Related Committed Purchaser)) or (B) the non-defaulting related LC Participants in such defaulting related LC Participant’s Purchaser Group shall fund the defaulting related LC Participant’s Pro Rata Share of the related drawing (based on their relative Pro Rata Shares (determined without regard to the Pro Rata Share of the defaulting related LC Participant)); and (ii) if there are no other (A) Related Committed Purchasers in such Purchaser Group or if such other Related Committed Purchasers are also defaulting Related Committed Purchasers, then such defaulting Related Committed Purchaser’s Commitment Percentage of its Purchaser Group’s Ratable Share of such Purchase shall be funded by each other Purchaser Group ratably (based on their relative Purchaser Group Ratable Shares) and applied in accordance with this paragraph (g) or (B) if there are no other related LC Participants in such Purchaser Group or if such other related LC Participants are also defaulting related LC Participants, then such defaulting related LC Participant’s Pro Rata Share of such drawing shall be funded by each other Purchaser Group ratably (based on their relative Pro Rata Shares) and applied in accordance with this paragraph (g). Notwithstanding anything in this paragraph (g) to the contrary, no Related Committed Purchaser or related LC Participant shall be required to make a Purchase or payment with respect to such drawing pursuant to this paragraph (g) for an amount which would cause the aggregate Capital of such Related Committed Purchaser or Pro Rata Share of the face amount of any outstanding Letter of Credit of such related LC Participant (after giving effect to such Purchase or payment with respect to such drawing) to exceed its Commitment.
Section 1.3.Purchased Interest Computation. The Purchased Interest shall be initially computed on the date of the initial Purchase hereunder. Thereafter, until the Facility Termination Date, such Purchased Interest shall be automatically recomputed (or deemed to be recomputed) on each Business Day other than a Termination Day. From and after the occurrence of any Termination Day, the Purchased Interest shall (until the event(s) giving rise to such Termination Day are satisfied or are waived by the Administrator in accordance with Section 2.2) be deemed to be 100%. The Purchased Interest shall become zero when (a) the Aggregate Capital thereof and Aggregate Discount thereon shall have been paid in full, (b) an amount equal to 100% of the LC Participation Amount shall have been deposited in the LC Collateral Account, or all Letters of Credit shall have expired and (c) all the amounts owed by the Seller and the Servicer hereunder to each Purchaser, the Administrator and any other Indemnified Party or Affected Person are paid in full, and the Servicer shall have received the accrued Servicing Fee thereon.
Section 1.4.Settlement Procedures.
(a)The collection of the Pool Receivables shall be administered by the Servicer in accordance with this Agreement. The Seller shall provide to the Servicer on a timely basis all information needed for such administration, including notice of the occurrence of any Termination Day and current computations of the Purchased Interest.
(b)The Servicer shall, on each day on which Collections of Pool Receivables are received (or deemed received) by the Seller or the Servicer:
(i)set aside and hold (or cause the Seller to set aside and hold) in trust (and shall, at the request of the Administrator, segregate in a separate account approved by the Administrator) for the benefit of each Purchaser Group, out of such Collections, first, an
-6-

amount equal to the Aggregate Discount accrued through such day and not previously set aside, second, an amount equal to the Fees accrued and unpaid through such day, and third, to the extent funds are available therefor, an amount equal to the aggregate of each Purchasers’ Share of the Servicing Fee accrued through such day and not previously set aside,
(ii)subject to Section 1.4(f), if such day is not a Termination Day, remit to the Seller, ratably, on behalf of each Purchaser Group, the remainder of such Collections. Such remainder shall, to the extent representing a return on the Aggregate Capital, ratably, according to each Purchaser’s Capital, be automatically reinvested in Pool Receivables and the Related Rights; provided, that if the Purchased Interest would exceed 100%, then the Servicer shall not remit such remainder to the Seller or reinvest it, but shall set aside and hold (or cause the Seller to set aside and hold) in trust for the benefit of the Purchasers (and shall, at the request of the Administrator, segregate in a separate account approved by the Administrator) a portion of such Collections that, together with the other Collections set aside pursuant to this clause (ii), shall equal the amount necessary to reduce the Purchased Interest to 100% (determined as if such Collections set aside had been applied to reduce the Aggregate Capital at such time), which amount shall be deposited ratably to each Purchaser Agent’s account (for the benefit of its related Purchasers) on the next Settlement Date in accordance with Section 1.4(c); provided, further, that in the case of any Purchaser that has provided notice (an “Exiting Notice”) to its Purchaser Agent of its refusal, pursuant to Section 1.22, to extend its Commitment hereunder (an “Exiting Purchaser”), then, such Collections shall not be reinvested and shall instead be held in trust for the benefit of such Purchaser and applied in accordance with clause (iii) below,
(iii)if such day is a Termination Day (or a day on which the Commitment of an Exiting Purchaser terminates), set aside and hold (or cause the Seller to set aside and hold) in trust (and shall, at the request of the Administrator, segregate in a separate account approved by the Administrator) for the benefit of each Purchaser Group the entire remainder of such Collections (or, in the case of an Exiting Purchaser, an amount equal to such Purchaser’s ratable share of such Collections based on its Capital; provided, that solely for the purpose of determining such Purchaser’s ratable share of such Collections, such Purchaser’s Capital shall be deemed to remain constant from the day on which the Commitment of such Exiting Purchaser terminates, until the date such Purchaser’s Capital has been paid in full; it being understood that if such day is also a Termination Day, such Exiting Purchaser’s Capital shall be recalculated taking into account amounts received by such Purchaser in respect of this parenthetical and thereafter Collections shall be set aside for such Purchaser ratably in respect of its Capital (as recalculated); provided, further, that if amounts are set aside and held in trust on any Termination Day of the type described in clause (a) of the definition of “Termination Day” (or any day on which the Commitment of such Exiting Purchaser terminates) and, thereafter, the conditions set forth in Section 2 of Exhibit II are satisfied or waived by the Administrator and the Majority Purchaser Agents (or in the case of an Exiting Notice, such Exiting Notice has been revoked by the related Exiting Purchaser and written notice
-7-

thereof has been provided to the Administrator, the related Purchaser Agent and the Servicer), such previously set-aside amounts shall, to the extent representing a return on Aggregate Capital (or the Capital of the Exiting Purchaser) and ratably in accordance with each Purchaser’s Capital, be reinvested in accordance with clause (ii) above on the day of such subsequent satisfaction or waiver of conditions or revocation of Exiting Notice, as the case may be, and
(iv)subject to Section 1.4(f), release to the Seller for its own account any Collections in excess of: (x) the amounts that are required to be set aside or reinvested pursuant to clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above plus (y) the Seller’s Share of the Servicing Fee accrued and unpaid through such day and all reasonable and appropriate out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Servicer for servicing, collecting and administering the Pool Receivables plus (z) all other amounts then due and payable by the Seller under this Agreement to the Purchasers, the LC Bank, the Administrator and any other Indemnified Party or Affected Person.
(c)The Servicer shall, in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 1.4(d) below, deposit into each applicable Purchaser Agent’s account (or such other account designated by such applicable Purchaser or its Purchaser Agent), on each Settlement Date (for any Portion of Capital), Collections held for each Purchaser pursuant to Sections 1.4(b)(i), (ii) and (iii) and Section 1.4(f); provided, that if Swift or an Affiliate thereof is the Servicer, such day is not a Termination Day and the Administrator has not notified Swift (or such Affiliate) that such right is revoked, Swift (or such Affiliate) may retain the portion of the Collections set aside pursuant to Section 1.4(b)(i) that represents the aggregate of each Purchasers’ Share of the Servicing Fee. On or prior to the last day of each Calculation Period, each Purchaser Agent will notify the Servicer by email communications or other electronic delivery of the amount of Discount accrued with respect to its Portion of Capital during such Calculation Period or portion thereof.
(d)The Servicer shall distribute the amounts described (and at the times set forth) in Section 1.4(c), as follows:
(i)if such distribution occurs on a day that is not a Termination Day, that is not a day on which the Commitment of an Exiting Purchaser terminates and on which the Purchased Interest does not exceed 100%, first to each Purchaser Agent ratably (based on the Discount and Fees accrued during such Yield Period) (for the benefit of the relevant Purchasers within such Purchaser Agent’s Purchaser Group) in payment in full of all accrued Discount and Fees with respect to each Portion of Capital maintained by the Purchasers within such Purchaser Agent’s Purchaser Group; it being understood that each Purchaser Agent shall distribute such amounts to the Purchasers within its Purchaser Group ratably according to Discount and Fees, and second, if the Servicer has set aside amounts in respect of the Servicing Fee pursuant to Section 1.4(b)(i) and has not retained such amounts pursuant to Section 1.4(c), to the Servicer’s own account (payable in arrears on each Settlement Date) in payment in full of the aggregate of the Purchasers’ Share of accrued Servicing Fees so set aside, and
-8-

(ii)if such distribution occurs on a Termination Day, on a day on which the Commitment of an Exiting Purchaser terminates or on a day when the Purchased Interest exceeds 100%, first if Swift or an Affiliate thereof is not the Servicer or if Swift or an Affiliate thereof is the Servicer and a Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing, to the Servicer’s own account in payment in full of the Purchasers’ Share of all accrued Servicing Fees, second to each Purchaser Agent ratably (based on the Discount and Fees accrued during such Yield Period) (for the benefit of the relevant Purchasers within such Purchaser Agent’s Purchaser Group) in payment in full of all accrued Discount and Fees with respect to each Portion of Capital funded or maintained by the Purchasers within such Purchaser Agent’s Purchaser Group, third to each Purchaser Agent ratably (based on the aggregate of the Capital of each Purchaser in each such Purchaser Agent’s Purchaser Group) (for the benefit of the relevant Purchasers within such Purchaser Agent’s Purchaser Group) in payment in full of (x) if such day is a Termination Day, each Purchaser’s Capital, (y) if such day is not a Termination Day, the amount necessary to reduce the Purchased Interest to 100%, or (z) if such day is a day on which the Commitment of an Exiting Purchaser terminates, an amount equal to the Exiting Purchaser’s ratable share of the Collections set aside pursuant to Section 1.4(b)(iii) based on its Capital (determined as if such Collections had been applied to reduce the Aggregate Capital); it being understood that each Purchaser Agent shall distribute the amounts described in the second and third clauses of this clause (ii) to the Purchasers within its Purchaser Group ratably (based on Discount and Fees and Capital, respectively), fourth, to the LC Collateral Account for the benefit of the LC Bank and the LC Participants, the amount necessary to cash collateralize the LC Participation Amount until the amount of cash collateral held in such LC Collateral Account equals 100% of the LC Participation Amount, fifth, if the Aggregate Capital and accrued Aggregate Discount with respect to each Portion of Capital for all Purchaser Groups have been reduced to zero, the Fees have been paid in full and the Purchasers’ Share of all accrued Servicing Fees payable to the Servicer (if other than Swift or an Affiliate thereof) have been paid in full, to each Purchaser Group ratably (based on the amounts payable to each) (for the benefit of the Purchasers within such Purchaser Group), the Administrator and any other Indemnified Party or Affected Person in payment in full of any other amounts owed thereto by the Seller or the Servicer hereunder and sixth, to the Servicer’s own account (if the Servicer is Swift or an Affiliate thereof and a Termination Event is not continuing) in payment in full of the aggregate of the Purchaser’s Share of all accrued Servicing Fees.
After the Capital (on and after a day when the Purchased Interest exceeds 100% or any day on which the Commitment of an Exiting Purchaser terminates), Aggregate Discount, Fees and Servicing Fees with respect to the Purchased Interest, and any other amounts payable by the Seller and the Servicer to each Purchaser Group, the Administrator or any other Indemnified Party or Affected Person hereunder have been paid in full, and (on and after a Termination Day) after Aggregate Capital and an amount equal to 100% of the LC Participation Amount has been deposited in the LC Collateral Account, all additional Collections with respect to the Purchased Interest shall be paid to the Seller for its own account.

(e)For the purposes of this Section 1.4:
(i)if on any day the Outstanding Balance of any Pool Receivable is reduced or adjusted as a result of any defective, rejected, returned, repossessed or foreclosed goods or services, or any revision, cancellation, allowance, rebate, discount or other adjustment made by the Seller or any Affiliate of the Seller, or the Servicer or any Affiliate of the Servicer, or any setoff or dispute between the Seller or any Affiliate of the Seller, or the Servicer or any Affiliate of the Servicer and an Obligor, the Seller shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection of such Pool Receivable in the amount of such reduction or adjustment or, in the case of a Receivable which has been canceled and contemporaneously reissued pursuant to the Credit and Collection Policy, the negative difference (if any) between such canceled Receivable and such reissued Receivable, and shall, subject to Section 1.4(e)(v), immediately pay any and all such amounts in respect thereof to a Lock-Box Account for the benefit of the Purchasers and their assigns and for application pursuant to Section 1.4(b);
(ii)if on any day any of the representations or warranties in Sections 1(j) or 3(a) of Exhibit III is not true with respect to any Pool Receivable, the Seller shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection of the full Outstanding Balance of such Pool Receivable and shall, subject to Section 1.4(e)(v), immediately pay any and all such amounts in respect thereof to a Lock-Box Account (or as otherwise directed by the Administrator at such time) for the benefit of the Purchasers and their assigns and for application pursuant to Section 1.4(b) (Collections deemed to have been received pursuant to Sections 1.4(e)(i) or (ii) are hereinafter sometimes referred to as “Deemed Collections”);
(iii)except as provided in Sections 1.4(e)(i) or (ii) or as otherwise required by applicable law or the relevant Contract, all Collections received from an Obligor of any Receivable shall be applied to the Receivables of such Obligor in the order of the age of such Receivables, starting with the oldest such Receivable, unless such Obligor specified an applicable Receivable;
(iv)if and to the extent the Administrator, any Purchaser Agent or any Purchaser shall be required for any reason to pay over to an Obligor (or any trustee, receiver, custodian or similar official in any Insolvency Proceeding) any amount received by it hereunder, such amount shall be deemed not to have been so received by such Person but rather to have been retained by the Seller and, accordingly, such Person shall have a claim against the Seller for such amount, payable when and to the extent that any distribution from or on behalf of such Obligor is made in respect thereof; and
(v)if at any time before the Facility Termination Date the Seller is deemed to have received any Deemed Collection under Sections 1.4(e)(i) and (ii), so long as no Termination Day then exists, the Seller may satisfy its obligation to deliver the amount of such Deemed Collections to a Lock-Box Account by instead recalculating (or being deemed to have recalculated) the Purchased Interest by decreasing the Net Receivables
-10-

Pool Balance by the amount of such Deemed Collections, so long as such adjustment does not cause the Purchased Interest to exceed 100%.
(f)If at any time the Seller wishes to cause the reduction of Aggregate Capital (but not to commence the liquidation, or reduction to zero, of the entire Aggregate Capital) the Seller may do so as follows:
(i)the Seller shall give the Administrator, each Purchaser Agent and the Servicer written notice in the form of Annex E (each, a “Paydown Notice”) at least two (2) Business Days prior to the date of such reduction for any reduction of the Aggregate Capital, and each such Paydown Notice shall include, among other things, the amount of such proposed reduction and the proposed date on which such reduction will commence;
(ii)on the proposed date of the commencement of such reduction and on each day thereafter, the Servicer shall cause Collections not to be reinvested until the amount thereof not so reinvested shall equal the desired amount of reduction; and
(iii)the Servicer shall hold (or cause the Seller to set aside and hold) such Collections in trust for the benefit of each Purchaser ratably according to its Capital, for payment to each such Purchaser (or its related Purchaser Agent for the benefit of such Purchaser) on the date specified in the Paydown Notice (or such other date as agreed to by the Administrator) with respect to any Portions of Capital maintained by such Purchaser immediately following the related current Yield Period, and the Aggregate Capital (together with the Capital of any related Purchaser) shall be deemed reduced in the amount to be paid to such Purchaser (or its related Purchaser Agent for the benefit of such Purchaser) only when in fact finally so paid;
provided, that:
(A)the amount of any such reduction shall not be less than $100,000 for each Purchaser Group and shall be an integral multiple of $100,000, and the sum of the Aggregate Capital and the Adjusted LC Participation Amount after giving effect to such reduction shall not be less than the Minimum Usage Amount; and
(B)with respect to any Portion of Capital, the Seller shall choose a reduction amount, and the date of commencement thereof, so that to the extent practicable such reduction shall commence and conclude in the same Yield Period.
Section 1.5.Fees. The Seller shall pay, or cause to be paid, to each Purchaser Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers and Liquidity Providers in the related Purchaser Group in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 1.4(d) certain fees in the amounts and on the dates set forth in the fee letter agreement, dated the Closing Date, among the Seller, and the applicable Purchaser Agent, respectively (as any such fee letter agreement may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Fee Letter”).
-11-

Section 1.6.Payments and Computations, Etc.
(a)All amounts to be paid or deposited by the Seller or the Servicer hereunder or under any other Transaction Document shall be made without reduction for offset or counterclaim and shall be paid or deposited no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the day when due in same day funds to the account for each Purchaser maintained by the applicable Purchaser Agent (or such other account as may be designated from time to time by such Purchaser Agent to the Seller and the Servicer). All amounts received after 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) will be deemed to have been received on the next Business Day.
(b)The Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, shall, to the extent permitted by law, pay interest on any amount not paid or deposited by the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, when due hereunder, at an interest rate equal to 2.0% per annum above the Base Rate, payable on demand.
(c)All computations of interest under Section 1.6(b) and all computations of Discount, Fees and other amounts hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 (or 365 or 366, as applicable, with respect to Discount or other amounts calculated by reference to the Base Rate) days for the actual number of days elapsed. Whenever any payment or deposit to be made hereunder shall be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment or deposit shall be made on the next Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of such payment or deposit.
Section 1.7.Increased Costs. If, after the date hereof, the Administrator, any Purchaser, any Purchaser Agent, any Liquidity Provider or any Program Support Provider or any of their respective Affiliates (each an “Affected Person”) reasonably determines that the existence of or compliance with: (i) any law, rule, regulation, generally accepted accounting principle or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, or (ii) any request, guideline or directive from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) issued or adopted or occurring after the date hereof affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Affected Person, and such Affected Person determines that the amount of such capital is increased by or based upon the existence of any Commitment to make Purchases of (or otherwise to maintain the investment in) Pool Receivables or issue any Letter of Credit or any related liquidity facility, credit enhancement facility and other commitments of the same type, then, upon demand by such Affected Person (with a copy to the Administrator), the Seller shall promptly pay such Affected Person, from time to time as specified by such Affected Person, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Affected Person for both increased costs and maintenance of bargained for yield in the light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Affected Person reasonably determines such increase in capital to be allocable to the existence of any of such commitments. A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Seller and the Administrator by such Affected Person shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
(b)If, after the date hereof, due to either: (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law, rule, regulation or generally accepted accounting principle or (ii) compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental
-12-

Authority (whether or not having the force of law) issued or adopted or occurring after the date hereof, there shall be any increase in the cost to any Affected Person of agreeing to purchase or purchasing, or maintaining the ownership of, the Purchased Interest (or its portion thereof) in respect of which Discount is computed by reference to the Euro-Rate or the LIBOR Market Index Rate, as applicable, then, upon demand by such Affected Person, the Seller shall promptly pay to such Affected Person, from time to time as specified by such Affected Person, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Affected Person for both increased costs and maintenance of bargained for yield. A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Seller and the Administrator by such Affected Person shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
(c)Within a reasonable time period after any Affected Person has actual knowledge that it is subject to increased capital requirements or incurs other increased costs pursuant to this Section 1.7, such Affected Person shall use reasonable efforts to notify the Servicer of such fact; provided, that any failure to give such notice shall not preclude such Affected Person from asserting any claim for compensation at any time or relieve the Seller from its obligations under this Section 1.7; provided, further, that if such increased costs affect the related Affected Person’s portfolio of financing transactions, such Affected Person shall use reasonable averaging and attribution methods to allocate such increased capital requirements or increased costs to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(d)Notwithstanding anything in this Section 1.7 to the contrary, (i) if any Affected Person fails to give demand for amounts or losses incurred in connection with this Section 1.7 within 180 days after it obtains knowledge that it is subject to increased capital requirements or has incurred other increased costs, such Affected Person shall, with respect to amounts payable pursuant to this Section 1.7, only be entitled to payment under this Section 1.7 for amounts or losses incurred from and after the date 180 days prior to the date that such Affected Person does give such demand and (ii) the Seller shall not be required to pay to any Affected Person (x) any amount that has been fully and finally paid in cash to such Affected Person pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, (y) any amount, if the payment of such amount is expressly excluded by any provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or (z) any amount, if such amount constitutes Taxes (which shall be governed by Section 1.10).
(e)For the avoidance of doubt, any increase in cost and/or reduction in yield caused by regulatory capital allocation adjustments caused by (i) implementation of the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, regulations, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall be covered by this Section 1.7 regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.
-13-

(f)The Seller may designate any Purchaser that requests amounts under this Section as an “Exiting Purchaser” by delivering a written notice to the Administrator and the related Purchaser Agent.
Section 1.8.Requirements of Law. If, after the date hereof, any Affected Person determines that the existence of or compliance with: (x) any law, regulation or rule or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, or (y) any request, guideline or directive from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) issued or adopted or occurring after the date hereof:
(i)does or shall subject such Affected Person to any increase in the Purchased Interest (or its portion thereof) or in the amount of Capital relating thereto,
(ii)does or shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, purchases, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Affected Person that are not otherwise included in the determination of the Euro-Rate or the LIBOR Market Index Rate, as applicable, hereunder, or
(iii)does or shall impose on such Affected Person any other condition,
and the result of any of the foregoing is: (A) to increase the cost to such Affected Person of agreeing to Purchase or Purchasing or maintaining the ownership of undivided percentage ownership interests with regard to the Purchased Interest or any Portion of Capital or issuing any Letter of Credit, or (B) to reduce any amount receivable hereunder (whether directly or indirectly), then, in any such case, upon demand by such Affected Person, the Seller shall promptly pay to such Affected Person additional amounts necessary to compensate such Affected Person for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable. All such amounts shall be payable as incurred. A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Seller and the Administrator by such Affected Person shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. The Seller may designate any Purchaser that requests amounts under this Section as an “Exiting Purchaser” by delivering a written notice to the Administrator and the related Purchaser Agent
Section 1.9.Funding Losses. If, for any reason, funding or maintaining any Portion of Capital hereunder at an interest rate determined by reference to the Euro-Rate or the LIBOR Market Index Rate, as applicable, does not occur on a date specified therefore, the Seller shall compensate such Affected Person, upon written request by such Person, for the difference, if any, between the rate to be paid by such Affected Person for such Euro-Rate or LIBOR Market Index Rate, as applicable, and the rate of any replacement Euro-Rate or LIBOR Market Index Rate, as applicable.
-14-

Section 1.10.Taxes. The Seller agrees that:
(a)    Any and all payments by the Seller to or for the account of any Purchaser under this Agreement and any other Transaction Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Taxes or Other Taxes; provided, however that such payments shall not include (i) overall income taxes (however determined) or franchise taxes, in either case, imposed on any Affected Person by the United States, the jurisdiction under whose laws such Person is organized, the jurisdiction of such Person’s principal place of business or the jurisdiction in which such Person holds its undivided percentage ownership interest with regard to the Purchased Interest, or any political subdivision thereof; (ii) any branch profits taxes imposed by the United States or any similar tax imposed by any other jurisdiction (iii) any backup withholding that is required by the Code to be withheld from amounts payable to any Affected Person that has failed to comply with Section 1.10(e), (iv) in the case of each Affected Person, any United States withholding tax imposed with respect to any payment by the Seller pursuant to this Agreement, but only up to the rate (if any) at which United States withholding tax would apply to such payments to such Purchaser at the time such Purchaser first becomes a party to this Agreement as more fully set forth in Section 1.10 (e)(4), and (v) any and all taxes imposed pursuant to or as a result of Section 1471 through 1474 of the Internal Revenue Code and any applicable Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder or published administrative guidance implementing such Internal Revenue Code sections, whether in existence on the date hereof or promulgated or published hereafter (“FATCA”) (all such Taxes other than those referred to in the provisos (i) through (v) above shall hereinafter be referred to as “Indemnified Taxes”). If the Seller shall be required by law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Affected Person, then (A) the sum payable shall be increased by the amount necessary to yield to such Person (after payment of all Taxes) an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (B) the Seller shall make such deductions, and (C) the Seller shall pay the amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law. Further, if Seller is required by law to deduct any Taxes other than Indemnified Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Affected Person, then (A) Seller shall make such deductions, (C) the Seller shall pay the amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law, and (C) the amounts so deducted and paid to the relevant taxation authority shall be treated under this Agreement as made to such Affected Person.
(b)    Whenever any Indemnified Taxes are payable by the Seller, as promptly as possible thereafter, the Seller shall send to the Administrator for its own account or for the account of the related Affected Person, a certified copy of an original official receipt showing payment thereof or such other evidence of such payment as may be available to the Seller and acceptable to the taxing authorities having jurisdiction over such Person. If the Seller fails to pay any Indemnified Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Administrator the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Seller shall indemnify the Administrator and/or any other Affected Person, as applicable, for any incremental Taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by such party as a result of any such failure.
-15-

(c)    The Seller shall indemnify each Affected Person, within twenty (20) Business Days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes paid by such Affected Party on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Seller hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 1.10) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto. Such demand shall be made as promptly as practicable, but in any event within 90 days after such Affected Person obtains actual knowledge of such event; provided, however, that if any Affected Person fails to make such demand within 90 days after such Affected Person obtains knowledge of such event, such Affected Person shall, with respect to compensation payable in respect of such event, not be entitled to compensation in respect of the costs and losses incurred between the 90th day after such Affected Person obtains actual knowledge of such event and the date such Affected Person makes such demand. None of Sections 1.7, 1.8, 3.1, 3.2 or 6.4(a) shall apply to Taxes, which shall be governed exclusively by this Section 1.10.
(d)    If an Affected Person determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund or credit of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Seller, it shall pay over such refund or credit to the Seller (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Seller under this Section 1.10 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Affected Person and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund net of any applicable Taxes payable in respect of such interest); provided, that the Seller agrees to repay each such Affected Person, within ten (10) Business Days after the request of such Affected Person, the amount paid over to the Seller (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event such Affected Person is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section 1.10 shall not be construed to require any Affected Person to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to the Seller or any other Person.
(e)    (1)    Each Purchaser shall deliver to the Seller and to the Administrator, at the time or times prescribed by applicable laws or when reasonably requested by the Seller or the Administrator, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable laws or by the taxing authorities of any jurisdiction and such other reasonably requested information as will permit the Seller or the Administrator, as the case may be, to determine (A) whether or not payments made hereunder are subject to Taxes, (B) if applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction, and (C) such Purchaser’s entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction of, applicable Taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Purchaser by the Seller pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise to establish such Purchaser’s status for withholding tax purposes in the applicable jurisdiction.
    (2)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:
(A)    any Purchaser that is a “United States Person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code, and not an exempt recipient
-16-

described in Section 6049(b)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code, shall deliver to the Seller and the Administrator executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or such other documentation or information prescribed by applicable laws or reasonably requested by the Seller or the Administrator as will enable the Seller or the Administrator, as the case may be, to determine whether or not such Purchaser is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements; and
(B)    each Purchaser that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States (including each State thereof and the District of Columbia) (a “Foreign Purchaser”) that is entitled under the Internal Revenue Code or any applicable treaty to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments hereunder shall deliver to the Seller and the Administrator (in such number of copies as shall be reasonably requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Purchaser becomes a Purchaser under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Seller or the Administrator, but only if such Foreign Purchaser is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable
(I)    executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W8BEN claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party,
(II)    executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W8ECI,
(III)    executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W8IMY and all required supporting documentation,
(IV)    in the case of a Foreign Purchaser claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Purchaser is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Seller within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code, and (y) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W8BEN, or
(V)    executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable laws as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding tax together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable laws to permit the Seller or the Administrator to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.
-17-

(C) Each Purchaser or Administrator shall deliver to the Seller such other tax forms or other documents as shall be prescribed by applicable law, to the extent applicable, (x) to demonstrate that payments to such Purchaser or Administrator under this Agreement are exempt from any United States withholding tax imposed pursuant to FATCA, and (y) to allow the Seller to determine the amount to deduct or withhold under FATCA from a payment hereunder. Each Purchaser or Administrator further agrees to complete and to deliver to the Seller from time to time, so long as it is eligible to do so, any successor or additional form required by the Internal Revenue Service or reasonably requested by the Seller in order to secure an exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, withholding tax imposed pursuant to FATCA.
(3)    Each Purchaser shall promptly notify the Seller and the Administrator of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction.
(4)    If the form provided by a Purchaser at the time such Purchaser first becomes a party to this Agreement indicates a United States interest withholding tax rate in excess of zero, withholding tax at such rate shall be considered excluded from Taxes unless and until such Purchaser provides the appropriate forms certifying that a lesser rate applies, whereupon withholding tax at such lesser rate only shall be considered excluded from Taxes for periods governed by such form.
(f)    For any period with respect to which a Purchaser has failed to provide the Seller with the appropriate form, certificate or other document described in Section 1.10(e) (other than as a result of a change in law occurring after the date such Purchaser becomes a Purchaser), such Purchaser shall not be entitled to gross up under Section 1.10(a)(1) with respect to Taxes imposed by reason of such failure; provided, however, that should a Purchaser become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form, certificate or other document required hereunder, the Seller shall take such steps at the Purchaser’s expense as the Purchaser shall reasonably request to assist the Purchaser to recover such Taxes.
(g)    Any Affected Person claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 1.10 agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its lending office if the making of such a change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Affected Person, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Affected Person.
Section 1.11.Inability to Determine Euro-Rate or the LIBOR Market Index Rate. If the Administrator (or any Purchaser Agent) determines before the first day of any Yield Period (which determination shall be final and conclusive) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank eurodollar market generally (i) deposits in Dollars (in the relevant amounts for such Yield Period) are not being offered to banks in the interbank eurodollar market for such Yield Period, (ii) adequate means do not exist for ascertaining the Euro-Rate or the LIBOR Market
-18-

Index Rate, as applicable, for such Yield Period or (iii) the Euro-Rate or the LIBOR Market Index Rate, as applicable, does not accurately reflect the cost to any Purchaser (as determined by the related Purchaser or the applicable Purchaser Agent) of maintaining any Portion of Capital during such Yield Period, then the Administrator or such Purchaser Agent shall give notice thereof to the Seller. Thereafter, until the Administrator or such Purchaser Agent notifies the Seller that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, (a) no Portion of Capital shall be funded at the Alternate Rate determined by reference to the Euro-Rate or the LIBOR Market Index Rate, as applicable, and (b) the Discount for any outstanding Portions of Capital then funded at the Alternate Rate determined by reference to the Euro-Rate or the LIBOR Market Index Rate, as applicable, shall, on the last day of the then current Yield Period, be converted to the Alternate Rate determined by reference to the Base Rate.
(b)    If, on or before the first day of any Yield Period, the Administrator shall have been notified by any Affected Person that such Affected Person has determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive) that any enactment, promulgation or adoption of or any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by a Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by such Affected Person with any guideline, request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority shall make it unlawful or impossible for such Affected Person to fund or maintain any Portion of Capital at the Alternate Rate and based upon the Euro-Rate or the LIBOR Market Index Rate, as applicable, the Administrator shall notify the Seller thereof. Upon receipt of such notice, until the Administrator notifies the Seller that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer apply, (a) no Portion of Capital shall be funded at the Alternate Rate determined by reference to the Euro-Rate or the LIBOR Market Index Rate, as applicable, and (b) the Discount for any outstanding Portions of Capital then funded at the Alternate Rate determined by reference to the Euro-Rate or the LIBOR Market Index Rate, as applicable, shall be converted to the Alternate Rate determined by reference to the Base Rate either (i) on the last day of the then current Yield Period if such Affected Person may lawfully continue to maintain such Portion of Capital at the Alternate Rate determined by reference to the Euro-Rate or the LIBOR Market Index Rate, as applicable, to such day, or (ii) immediately, if such Affected Person may not lawfully continue to maintain such Portion of Capital at the Alternate Rate determined by reference to the Euro-Rate or the LIBOR Market Index Rate, as applicable, to such day.
Section 1.12.Letters of Credit. On the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, the LC Bank shall issue or cause the issuance of Letters of Credit on behalf of Seller (and, if applicable, on behalf of, or for the account of, any Originator or any Affiliate of any Originator in favor of such beneficiaries as such Originator or such Affiliate of an Originator may elect); provided, that the LC Bank will not be required to issue or cause to be issued any Letters of Credit to the extent that after giving effect thereto the issuance of such Letters of Credit would then cause (a) the sum of (i) the Aggregate Capital plus (ii) the LC Participation Amount to exceed the Purchase Limit or (b) the LC Participation Amount to exceed the aggregate of the Commitments of the LC Bank and the LC Participants. All amounts drawn upon Letters of Credit shall accrue Discount. Letters of Credit that have not been drawn upon shall not accrue Discount.
-19-

Section 1.13.Issuance of Letters of Credit.
(a)The Seller may request the LC Bank, upon two (2) Business Days’ prior written notice submitted on or before 11:00 a.m., New York time, to issue a Letter of Credit by delivering to the Administrator a Letter of Credit Application (the “Letter of Credit Application”), substantially in the form of Annex F hereto and a Purchase Notice, in the form of Annex B hereto, in each case completed to the satisfaction of the Administrator and the LC Bank and, such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as the Administrator may reasonably request. The Seller also has the right to give instructions and make agreements with respect to any Letter of Credit Application and the disposition of documents, and to agree with the Administrator upon any amendment, extension or renewal of any Letter of Credit.
(b)Each Letter of Credit shall, among other things, (i) provide for the payment of sight drafts or other written demands for payment when presented for honor thereunder in accordance with the terms thereof and when accompanied by the documents described therein and (ii) have an expiry date not later than twelve (12) months after such Letter of Credit’s date of issuance, extension or renewal, as the case may be, and in no event later than the date that is twelve (12) months after the date in clause (a) of the definition of “Facility Termination Date.” Each Letter of Credit shall be subject either to the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits (2007 Revision), International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 600, and any amendments or revisions thereof adhered to by the LC Bank or the International Standby Practices (ISP98-International Chamber of Commerce Publication Number 590), and any amendments or revisions thereof adhered to by the LC Bank, as determined by the LC Bank.
(c)The Administrator shall promptly notify the LC Bank and LC Participants, at such Person’s respective address for notices hereunder, of the request by the Seller for a Letter of Credit hereunder, and shall provide the LC Bank and LC Participants with the Letter of Credit Application delivered to the Administrator by the Seller pursuant to Section 1.13(a) above, by the close of business on the day received or if received on a day that is not a Business Day or on any Business Day after 11:00 a.m. New York time on such day, on the next Business Day.
Section 1.14.Requirements For Issuance of Letters of Credit. The Seller (i) shall authorize and direct the LC Bank to name the Seller, any Originator or any Affiliate of an Originator as the “Applicant” or “Account Party” of each Letter of Credit, and (ii) if an Originator or Affiliate is named as the “Applicant” (an “Applicant”), (A) shall have received an executed reimbursement agreement from such Applicant pursuant to which such Applicant shall have agreed to reimburse Seller for any drawing on such Letter of Credit on the applicable Drawing Date, and (B) in connection with such reimbursement agreement, shall have received a fronting fee for arranging such Letter of Credit in an amount not less than 0.10% of the face amount of such Letter of Credit.
Section 1.15.Disbursements, Reimbursement.
(a)Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each LC Participant shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the LC Bank a participation in such Letter of Credit and each drawing thereunder in an amount equal to such
-20-

LC Participant’s Pro Rata Share of the face amount of such Letter of Credit and the amount of such drawing, respectively.
(b)In the event of any request for a drawing under a Letter of Credit by the beneficiary or transferee thereof, the LC Bank will promptly notify the Administrator and the Seller of such request. Provided that it shall have received such notice, the Seller shall reimburse (such obligation to reimburse the LC Bank shall sometimes be referred to as a “Reimbursement Obligation”) the LC Bank prior to 12:00 p.m., New York time on each date that an amount is paid by the LC Bank under any Letter of Credit (each such date, a “Drawing Date”) in an amount equal to the amount so paid by the LC Bank. In the event the Seller fails to reimburse the LC Bank for the full amount of any drawing under any Letter of Credit by 12:00 p.m., New York time, on the Drawing Date, the LC Bank will promptly notify each LC Participant thereof, and the Seller shall be deemed to have requested that a Funded Purchase be made by the Purchasers in the Purchaser Group for the LC Bank and the LC Participants to be disbursed on the Drawing Date under such Letter of Credit in accordance with Section 1.1(b). Any notice given by the LC Bank pursuant to this Section 1.15(b) may be oral if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of any such written confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of the oral notice.
(c)Each LC Participant shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 1.15(b) above make available to the LC Bank an amount in immediately available funds equal to its Pro Rata Share of the amount of the drawing. If any LC Participant so notified fails to make available to the LC Bank the amount of such LC Participant’s Pro Rata Share of such amount by no later than 2:00 p.m., New York time on the Drawing Date, then interest shall accrue on such LC Participant’s obligation to make such payment, from the Drawing Date to the date on which such LC Participant makes such payment (i) at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate during the first three days following the Drawing Date and (ii) at a rate per annum equal to the rate applicable to Capital on and after the fourth day following the Drawing Date. The LC Bank will promptly give notice of the occurrence of the Drawing Date, but failure of the LC Bank to give any such notice on the Drawing Date or in sufficient time to enable any LC Participant to effect such payment on such date shall not relieve such LC Participant from its obligation under this Section 1.15(c); provided that such LC Participant shall not be obligated to pay interest as provided in clauses (i) and (ii) above until and commencing from the date of receipt of notice from the LC Bank or the Administrator of a drawing. Each LC Participant’s Commitment shall continue until the last to occur of any of the following events: (A) the LC Bank ceases to be obligated to issue or cause to be issued Letters of Credit hereunder; (B) no Letter of Credit issued hereunder remains outstanding and uncancelled; or (C) all Persons (other than the Seller) have been fully reimbursed for all payments made under or relating to Letters of Credit.
Section 1.16.Repayment of Participation Advances.
(a)Upon (and only upon) receipt by the LC Bank for its account of immediately available funds from or for the account of the Seller in reimbursement of any payment made by the LC Bank under a Letter of Credit with respect to which any LC Participant has made a participation advance to the LC Bank, the LC Bank (or the Administrator on its behalf) will pay
-21-

to each LC Participant, ratably (based on the outstanding drawn amounts funded by each such LC Participant in respect of such Letter of Credit), in the same funds as those received by the LC Bank; it being understood, that the LC Bank shall retain a ratable amount of such funds that were not the subject of any payment in respect of such Letter of Credit by any LC Participant.
(b)If the LC Bank is required at any time to return to the Seller, or to a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian, or any official in any Insolvency Proceeding, any portion of the payments made by the Seller to the LC Bank pursuant to this Agreement in reimbursement of a payment made under the Letter of Credit or interest or fee thereon, each LC Participant shall, on demand of the LC Bank, forthwith return to the LC Bank the amount of its Pro Rata Share of any amounts so returned by the LC Bank plus interest at the Federal Funds Rate, from the date the payment was first made to such LC Participant through, but not including, the date the payment is returned by such LC Participant.
Section 1.17.Documentation. The Seller agrees to be bound by (i) the terms of the Letter of Credit Application, (ii) by the LC Bank’s interpretations of any Letter of Credit issued for the Seller and (iii) by the LC Bank’s written regulations and customary practices relating to letters of credit, though the LC Bank’s interpretation of such regulations and practices may be different from the Seller’s own. In the event of a conflict between the Letter of Credit Application and this Agreement, this Agreement shall govern. It is understood and agreed that, except in the case of gross negligence or willful misconduct by the LC Bank, the LC Bank shall not be liable for any error, negligence and/or mistakes, whether of omission or commission, in following the Seller’s instructions or those contained in the Letters of Credit or any modifications, amendments or supplements thereto.
Section 1.18.Determination to Honor Drawing Request. In determining whether to honor any request for drawing under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, the LC Bank shall be responsible only to determine that the documents and certificates required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit have been delivered and that they comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit and that any other drawing condition appearing on the face of such Letter of Credit has been satisfied in the manner so set forth.
Section 1.19.Nature of Participation and Reimbursement Obligations. Each LC Participant’s obligation in accordance with this Agreement to make participation advances as a result of a drawing under a Letter of Credit, and the obligations of the Seller to reimburse the LC Bank upon a draw under a Letter of Credit, shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Article I under all circumstances, including the following circumstances:

(e)    the lack of power or authority of any signer of, or lack of validity, sufficiency, accuracy, enforceability or genuineness of, any draft, demand, instrument, certificate or other document presented under any Letter of Credit, or any such draft, demand, instrument, certificate or other document proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid, defective or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, even if the Administrator or the LC Bank has been notified thereof;
(f)    payment by the LC Bank under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a demand, draft or certificate or other document which does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit other than as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the LC Bank;

(h)    any failure by the LC Bank or any of the LC Bank’s Affiliates to issue any Letter of Credit in the form requested by the Seller, unless the LC Bank has received written notice from the Seller of such failure within three (3) Business Days after the LC Bank shall have furnished the Seller a copy of such Letter of Credit and such error is material and no drawing has been made thereon prior to receipt of such notice;
(i)    any Material Adverse Effect on the Seller, any Originator or any Affiliates thereof;

Section 1.20.Indemnity. In addition to other amounts payable hereunder, the Seller hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and save harmless the Administrator, the LC Bank, each LC Participant and any of the LC Bank’s Affiliates that have issued a Letter of Credit from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, taxes, penalties, interest, judgments, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including Attorney Costs) which the Administrator, the LC Bank, any LC Participant or any of their respective Affiliates may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of the issuance of any Letter of Credit, other than as a result of (a) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party to be indemnified as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or (b) the wrongful dishonor by the LC Bank of a proper demand for payment made under any Letter of Credit, except if such dishonor resulted from any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto Governmental Authority (all such acts or omissions herein called “Governmental Acts”).
Section 1.21.Liability for Acts and Omissions. As between the Seller, on the one hand, and the Administrator, the LC Bank, the LC Participants, the Purchasers and the Purchaser Agents, on the other, the Seller assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of any Letter of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the respective foregoing, none of the Administrator, the LC Bank, the LC Participants, the Purchasers or the Purchaser Agents shall be responsible for: (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for an issuance of any such Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged (even if the LC Bank or any LC Participant shall have been notified thereof); (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) the failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit, or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred, to comply fully with any conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit or any other claim of the Seller against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, or any such transferee, or any dispute between or among the Seller and any beneficiary of any Letter of
-24-

Credit or any such transferee; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Administrator, the LC Bank, the LC Participants, the Purchasers and the Purchaser Agents, including any Governmental Acts, and none of the above shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of, any of the LC Bank’s rights or powers hereunder. Nothing in the preceding sentence shall relieve the LC Bank from liability for its gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, in connection with actions or omissions described in such clauses (i) through (viii) of such sentence. In no event shall the Administrator, the LC Bank, the LC Participants, the Purchasers or the Purchaser Agents or their respective Affiliates, be liable to the Seller or any other Person for any indirect, consequential, incidental, punitive, exemplary or special damages or expenses (including without limitation Attorney Costs), or for any damages resulting from any change in the value of any property relating to a Letter of Credit.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrator, the LC Bank, the LC Participants, the Purchasers and the Purchaser Agents and each of its Affiliates: (i) may rely on any written communication believed in good faith by such Person to have been authorized or given by or on behalf of the applicant for a Letter of Credit; (ii) may honor any presentation if the documents presented appear on their face to comply with the terms and conditions of the relevant Letter of Credit; (iii) may honor a previously dishonored presentation under a Letter of Credit, whether such dishonor was pursuant to a court order, to settle or compromise any claim of wrongful dishonor, or otherwise, and shall be entitled to reimbursement to the same extent as if such presentation had initially been honored, together with any interest paid by the LC Bank or its Affiliates; (iv) may honor any drawing that is payable upon presentation of a statement advising negotiation or payment, upon receipt of such statement (even if such statement indicates that a draft or other document is being delivered separately), and shall not be liable for any failure of any such draft or other document to arrive, or to conform in any way with the relevant Letter of Credit; (v) may pay any paying or negotiating bank claiming that it rightfully honored under the laws or practices of the place where such bank is located; and (vi) may settle or adjust any claim or demand made on the Administrator, the LC Bank, the LC Participants, the Purchasers or the Purchaser Agents or their respective Affiliates, in any way related to any order issued at the applicant’s request to an air carrier, a letter of guarantee or of indemnity issued to a carrier or any similar document (each an “Order”) and may honor any drawing in connection with any Letter of Credit that is the subject of such Order, notwithstanding that any drafts or other documents presented in connection with such Letter of Credit fail to conform in any way with such Letter of Credit.
In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions set forth above, any action taken or omitted by the LC Bank under or in connection with any Letter of Credit issued by it or any documents and certificates delivered thereunder, if taken or omitted in good faith and without gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final non-
-25-

appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, shall not put the LC Bank under any resulting liability to the Seller, any LC Participant or any other Person.
Section 1.22.Extension of Termination Date. The Seller may request the extension of the then current Facility Termination Date by providing written notice to the Administrator and each Purchaser Agent; provided such request is made not more than 180 days prior to, and not less than 90 days prior to, the then current Facility Termination Date. In the event that the Purchasers are all agreeable to such extension, the Administrator shall so notify the Seller and the Servicer (it being understood that the Purchasers may accept or decline such a request in their sole discretion and on such terms as they may elect) not more than 90 days from the date of the Seller’s written notice and the Seller, the Servicer, the Administrator, the Purchaser Agents and the Purchasers shall enter into such documents as the Purchasers may deem necessary or appropriate to reflect such extension, and all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Purchasers, the Administrator and the Purchaser Agents in connection therewith (including Attorney Costs) shall be paid by the Seller. In the event any Purchaser declines the request for such extension, (a) the Purchase Limit shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Commitment of such Purchaser and (b) such Purchaser (or the applicable Purchaser Agent on its behalf) shall so notify the Administrator and the Administrator shall so notify the Seller of such determination; provided, that the failure of the Administrator to notify the Seller of the determination to decline such extension shall not affect the understanding and agreement that the applicable Purchasers shall be deemed to have refused to grant the requested extension in the event the Administrator fails to affirmatively notify the Seller of their agreement to accept the requested extension.
Section 1.23.Increase in Purchase Limit. The Seller may, on any Business Day prior to the Facility Termination Date, with the written consent of the Administrator (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), request an increase of the Purchase Limit by delivering a request substantially in the form attached hereto as Annex G (each, a “Purchase Limit Increase Request”) or in such other form acceptable to the Administrator, at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the desired effective date of such increase (the “Purchase Limit Increase”) identifying the additional Purchaser(s) (or, with the written consent of the applicable Purchaser Agent and Related Committed Purchaser(s) or related LC Participant, additional Commitments for existing Purchaser(s)) and the related Purchaser Group(s), which additional Purchaser(s) shall be reasonably acceptable to the Administrator (other than in the case of the existing Purchaser(s), which shall be deemed acceptable), and the amount of its Commitment (or additional amount of the Commitment(s) of the existing Purchaser(s)); provided, however, that:
(a)the aggregate amount of all Purchase Limit Increases shall not exceed $100,000,000 and any such Purchase Limit Increase shall be in an amount not less than $10,000,000 (or such lesser amount then agreed to by the Administrator);
(b)no Unmatured Termination Event or Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of the request or the effective date of the Purchase Limit Increase;
(c)the representations and warranties of the Seller contained in Exhibit III of this Agreement are true and correct in all material respects on and as the date of such purchase or
-26-

reinvestment as though made on and as of such date (except for representations and warranties which apply as to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct as of such earlier date); and
(d)the conditions set forth in clause 2 of Exhibit II shall be satisfied.
The effective date of the Purchase Limit Increase shall be agreed upon by the Seller and the Administrator. Upon the effectiveness thereof, the new Purchaser (or, if applicable, existing Purchaser) shall make Purchases in an amount sufficient such that after giving effect to its Purchases each Purchaser Group shall have outstanding its Ratable Share of the Aggregate Capital outstanding. The Seller agrees to pay the expenses of the Administrator (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) relating to any Purchase Limit Increase. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Purchaser shall have any obligation to increase its Commitment and no Purchaser’s Commitment shall be increased without its written consent thereto, and each Purchaser may at its option, unconditionally and without cause, decline to increase its Commitment.
Section 1.24.Benchmark Replacement Setting.
(a)Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Transaction Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Transaction Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Purchasers without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document so long as the Administrator has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Purchasers comprising the Majority Purchaser Agents.
(b)Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrator will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.
-27-

(c)Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrator will promptly notify the Seller and the Purchaser Agents of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (iv) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to paragraph (d) below and (v) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrator or, if applicable, any Purchaser (or group of Purchasers) pursuant to this Section 1.24, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 1.24.
(d)Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR or USD LIBOR) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrator in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or will be no longer representative, then the Administrator may modify the definition of “Yield Period” for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrator may modify the definition of “Yield Period” for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.
(e)Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon the Seller’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Seller may revoke any request for a Purchase bearing interest based on USD LIBOR , conversion to or continuation of Purchases bearing interest based on USD LIBOR to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Seller will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Purchase of or conversion to Purchases bearing interest under the Alternate Rate. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Alternate Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the Alternate Rate.
(f)Secondary Term SOFR Conversion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document and subject to the proviso below in this paragraph,
-28-

if a Term SOFR Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (i) the applicable Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder or under any Transaction Document in respect of such Benchmark setting (the “Secondary Term SOFR Conversion Date”) and subsequent Benchmark settings, without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; and (ii) Purchases outstanding on the Secondary Term SOFR Conversion Date bearing interest based on the then-current Benchmark shall be deemed to have been converted to Purchases bearing interest at the Benchmark Replacement with a tenor approximately the same length as the interest payment period of the then-current Benchmark; provided that, this paragraph (f) shall not be effective unless the Administrator has delivered to the Purchaser Agents and the Seller a Term SOFR Notice.
(g)Certain Defined Terms. As used in this Section 1.24:
“Available Tenor” means, as of any date of determination and with respect to the then-current Benchmark, as applicable, (x) if the then current Benchmark is a term rate or is based on a term rate, any tenor for such Benchmark that is or may be used for determining the length of a Yield Period pursuant to this Agreement as of such date and not including, for the avoidance of doubt, any tenor for such Benchmark that is then-removed from the definition of “Yield Period” pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section 1.24, or (y) if the then current Benchmark is not a term rate nor based on a term rate, any payment period for interest calculated with reference to such Benchmark pursuant to this Agreement as of such date.
“Benchmark” means, initially, USD LIBOR; provided that if a Benchmark Transition Event a Term SOFR Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to USD LIBOR or the then-current Benchmark, then “Benchmark” means the applicable Benchmark Replacement to the extent that such Benchmark Replacement has replaced such prior benchmark rate pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 1.24.
“Benchmark Replacement” means, for any Available Tenor, the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Administrator for the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date:
(i)    the sum of: (a) Term SOFR and (b) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment;
(ii)    the sum of: (a) Daily Simple SOFR and (b) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment;
(iii)     the sum of: (a) the alternate benchmark rate that has been selected by the Administrator and the Seller as the replacement for the then-current Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of a replacement benchmark rate or the mechanism for determining such a rate by the Relevant Governmental Body or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing market
-29-

convention for determining a benchmark rate as a replacement for the then-current Benchmark for U.S. dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities at such time and (b) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment;
provided that, in the case of clause (1), such Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement is displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrator in its reasonable discretion; provided, further, that, with respect to a Term SOFR Transition Event, on the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date, the “Benchmark Replacement” shall revert to and shall be determined as set forth in clause (1) of this definition. If the Benchmark Replacement as determined pursuant to clause (1), (2) or (3) above would be less than the Floor, the Benchmark Replacement will be deemed to be the Floor for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.
“Benchmark Replacement Adjustment” means, with respect to any replacement of the then-current Benchmark with an Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for any applicable Available Tenor for any setting of such Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement:
(1)    for purposes of clauses (1) and (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement,” the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Administrator:
(a)     the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) as of the Reference Time such Benchmark Replacement is first set for such Available Tenor that has been selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for the applicable Corresponding Tenor;
(b)     the spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) as of the Reference Time such Benchmark Replacement is first set for such Available Tenor that would apply to the fallback rate for a derivative transaction referencing the ISDA Definitions to be effective upon an index cessation event with respect to such Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor; and
(2)     for purposes of clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement,” the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected by the Administrator and the Seller for the applicable Corresponding Tenor giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement by the Relevant Governmental Body on the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such
-30-

Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for U.S. dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities;
provided that, (x) in the case of clause (1) above, such adjustment is displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such Benchmark Replacement Adjustment from time to time as selected by the Administrator in its reasonable discretion and (y) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate, more than one tenor of such Benchmark is available as of the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date and the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement will not be a term rate, the Available Tenor of such Benchmark for purposes of this definition of “Benchmark Replacement Adjustment” shall be deemed to be the Available Tenor that has approximately the same length (disregarding business day adjustments) as the payment period for interest calculated with reference to such Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement.
“Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes” means, with respect to any Benchmark Replacement, any technical, administrative or operational changes (including changes to the definition of “Alternate Rate,” the definition of “Business Day,” the definition of “Yield Period,” timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest, timing of borrowing requests or prepayment, conversion or continuation notices, length of lookback periods, the applicability of breakage provisions, and other technical, administrative or operational matters) that the Administrator decides may be appropriate to reflect the adoption and implementation of such Benchmark Replacement and to permit the administration thereof by the Administrator in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Administrator decides that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Administrator determines that no market practice for the administration of such Benchmark Replacement exists, in such other manner of administration as the Administrator decides is reasonably necessary in connection with the administration of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents).
“Benchmark Replacement Date” means the earliest to occur of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:
(1)     in the case of clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the later of (a) the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein and (b) the date on which the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) permanently or indefinitely ceases to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof);
(2)     in the case of clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the date determined by the Administrator, which date shall promptly follow the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein;
(3)     in the case of a Term SOFR Transition Event, the date that is set forth in the Term SOFR Notice provided to the Purchaser Agents and the Seller pursuant to this Section titled “Benchmark Replacement Setting”, which date shall be at least 30 days from the date of the Term SOFR Notice; or
-31-

(4)     in the case of an Early Opt-in Election, the sixth (6th) Business Day after the date notice of such Early Opt-in Election is provided to the Purchaser Agents, so long as the Administrator has not received, by 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Early Opt-in Election is provided to the Purchaser Agents, written notice of objection to such Early Opt-in Election from Purchaser Agents comprising the Majority Purchaser Agent.
For the avoidance of doubt, (i) if the event giving rise to the Benchmark Replacement Date occurs on the same day as, but earlier than, the Reference Time in respect of any determination, the Benchmark Replacement Date will be deemed to have occurred prior to the Reference Time for such determination and (ii) the “Benchmark Replacement Date” will be deemed to have occurred in the case of clause (1) or (2) with respect to any Benchmark upon the occurrence of the applicable event or events set forth therein with respect to all then-current Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).
“Benchmark Transition Event” means the occurrence of one or more of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:
(1)     a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) announcing that such administrator has ceased or will cease to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof), permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof);
(2)     a public statement or publication of information by an Relevant Governmental Body having jurisdiction over the Administrator, the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof), the Federal Reserve Board, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component), a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component) or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component), which states that the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component) has ceased or will cease to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof); or
(3)     a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) or an Relevant Governmental Body having jurisdiction over the Administrator announcing that all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) are no longer representative.

ADMINISTRATION AND COLLECTIONS
Section 4.1.Appointment of the Servicer.
(a)The servicing, administering and collection of the Pool Receivables shall be conducted by the Person so designated from time to time as the Servicer in accordance with this Section 4.1. Until the Administrator gives notice to Swift (in accordance with this Section 4.1) of the designation of a new Servicer, Swift is hereby designated as, and hereby agrees to perform the duties and obligations of, the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof. Upon the occurrence of a Termination Event, the Administrator may (with the consent of the Majority Purchaser Agents) or shall (at the direction of the Majority Purchaser Agents) terminate Swift as Servicer and designate as Servicer any Person (including itself) to succeed Swift or any successor Servicer, on
-37-

the condition in each case that any such Person so designated shall agree to perform the duties and obligations of the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof.
(b)Upon the designation of a successor Servicer as set forth in Section 4.1(a), Swift agrees that it will terminate its activities as Servicer hereunder in a manner that the Administrator determines will facilitate the transition of the performance of such activities to the new Servicer, and Swift shall cooperate with and assist such new Servicer. Such cooperation shall include access to and transfer of related records (including all Contracts) and use by the new Servicer of all licenses (or the obtaining of new licenses), hardware or software necessary or desirable to collect the Pool Receivables and the Related Security.
(c)Swift acknowledges that, in making their decision to execute and deliver this Agreement, the Administrator and each member in each Purchaser Group have relied on Swift’s agreement to act as Servicer hereunder. Accordingly, Swift agrees that it will not voluntarily resign as Servicer.
(d)The Servicer may delegate its duties and obligations hereunder to any subservicer (each a “Sub-Servicer”); provided, that, in each such delegation: (i) such Sub-Servicer shall agree in writing to perform the delegated duties and obligations of the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof, (ii) the Servicer shall remain liable for the performance of the duties and obligations so delegated, (iii) the Seller, the Administrator and each Purchaser Group shall have the right to look solely to the Servicer for performance, (iv) the terms of any agreement with any Sub-Servicer shall provide that the Administrator may terminate such agreement upon the termination of the Servicer hereunder by giving notice of its desire to terminate such agreement to the Servicer (and the Servicer shall provide appropriate notice to each such Sub-Servicer) and (v) the Administrator and the Majority Purchaser Agents shall have consented in writing in advance to such delegation. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 4.1(d) shall not apply to any third party collection agency collecting Defaulted Receivables or other third party servicer provider assisting in the servicing of the Defaulted Receivables.
Section 4.2.Duties of the Servicer.
(a)The Servicer shall take or cause to be taken all such action as may be necessary or advisable to administer and collect each Pool Receivable from time to time, all in accordance with this Agreement and all applicable laws, rules and regulations, with reasonable care and diligence, and in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy. The Servicer shall set aside (or cause the Seller to set aside and hold) for the accounts of the Seller and each Purchaser Group the amount of Collections to which each such Purchaser Group is entitled in accordance with Article I hereof. The Servicer may, in accordance with the applicable Credit and Collection Policy, extend the maturity of any Pool Receivable and extend the maturity or adjust the Outstanding Balance of any Defaulted Receivable, as the Servicer may reasonably determine to be appropriate to maximize Collections thereof or reflect adjustments expressly permitted under the Credit and Collection Policy or as expressly required under applicable laws, rules or regulations or the applicable Contract; provided, that for purposes of this Agreement: (i) such extension shall not, and shall not be deemed to, change the number of days such Pool Receivable has remained unpaid from the date of the original due date related to such Pool Receivable unless
-38-

such Pool Receivable has been cancelled and reissued pursuant to the Credit and Collection Policy with appropriate Deemed Collections being recorded pursuant to Section 1.4(e)(i) hereof, (ii) such extension or adjustment shall not alter the status of such Pool Receivable as a Delinquent Receivable or a Defaulted Receivable or limit the rights of any Purchaser, any Purchaser Agent or the Administrator under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document and (iii) if a Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and Swift or an Affiliate thereof is serving as the Servicer, Swift or such Affiliate may take such action only upon the prior approval of the Administrator. The Seller shall deliver to the Servicer and the Servicer shall hold for the benefit of the Seller and the Administrator (individually and for the benefit of each Purchaser Group, in accordance with their respective interests), all records and documents (including computer tapes or disks) with respect to each Pool Receivable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if a Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Administrator may direct the Servicer (whether the Servicer is Swift or any other Person) to commence or settle any legal action to enforce collection of any Pool Receivable or to foreclose upon or repossess any Related Security.
(b)The Servicer shall, as soon as practicable following actual receipt of collected funds, turn over to the Seller the collections of any indebtedness owed to the Seller that is not a Pool Receivable, less, if Swift or an Affiliate thereof is not the Servicer, all reasonable and appropriate out-of-pocket costs and expenses of such Servicer of servicing, collecting and administering such collections. The Servicer, if other than Swift or an Affiliate thereof, shall, as soon as practicable upon demand, deliver to the Seller all records in its possession that evidence or relate to any indebtedness that is not a Pool Receivable, and copies of records in its possession that evidence or relate to any indebtedness that is a Pool Receivable.
(c)The Servicer’s obligations hereunder shall terminate on the later of: (i) the Facility Termination Date, (ii) the date on which no Capital or Discount in respect of the Purchased Interest shall be outstanding, (iii) the date on which an amount equal to 100% of the LC Participation Amount has been deposited in the LC Collateral Account or all Letters of Credit have expired, and (iv) the date on which all amounts required to be paid to each Purchaser Agent, each Purchaser, the Administrator and any other Indemnified Party or Affected Person hereunder shall have been paid in full.
After such termination, if Swift or an Affiliate thereof was not the Servicer on the date of such termination, the Servicer shall promptly deliver to the Seller all books, records and related materials that the Seller previously provided to the Servicer, or that have been obtained by the Servicer, in connection with this Agreement.
Section 4.3.Lock-Box Account Arrangements. Prior to the Closing Date, the Seller shall have entered into Lock-Box Agreements with all of the Lock-Box Banks and delivered executed counterparts of each to the Administrator. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Termination Event, the Administrator may (with the consent of the Majority Purchaser Agents) or shall (upon the direction of the Majority Purchaser Agents) at any time thereafter give notice to each Lock-Box Bank that the Administrator is exercising its rights under the Lock-Box Agreements to do any or all of the following: (a) to have the exclusive ownership
-39-

and control of the Lock-Box Accounts transferred to the Administrator (for the benefit of the Purchasers) and to exercise exclusive dominion and control over the funds deposited therein, (b) to have the proceeds that are sent to the respective Lock-Box Accounts redirected pursuant to the Administrator’s instructions rather than deposited in the applicable Lock-Box Account, and (c) to take any or all other actions permitted under the applicable Lock-Box Agreement. The Seller hereby agrees that if the Administrator at any time takes any action set forth in the preceding sentence, the Administrator shall have exclusive control (for the benefit of the Purchasers) of the proceeds (including Collections) of all Pool Receivables and the Seller hereby further agrees to take any other action that the Administrator or any Purchaser Agent may reasonably request to transfer such control. Any proceeds of Pool Receivables received by the Seller or the Servicer thereafter shall be sent immediately to, or as otherwise instructed by, the Administrator. The parties hereto hereby acknowledge that if at any time the Administrator takes control of any Lock-Box Account, the Administrator shall not have any rights to the funds therein in excess of the unpaid amounts due to the Administrator, any member of any Purchaser Group, any Indemnified Party or Affected Person or any other Person hereunder, and the Administrator shall distribute or cause to be distributed such funds in accordance with Section 4.2(b) and Article I (in each case as if such funds were held by the Servicer thereunder).
Section 4.4.Enforcement Rights.

(i)the Administrator may direct the Obligors that payment of all amounts payable under any Pool Receivable is to be made directly to the Administrator or its designee,
(ii)the Administrator may instruct the Seller or the Servicer to give notice of the Purchaser Groups’ interest in Pool Receivables to each Obligor, which notice shall direct that payments be made directly to the Administrator or its designee (on behalf of such Purchaser Groups), and the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, shall give such notice at the expense of the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be; provided, that if the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, fails to so notify each Obligor, the Administrator (at the Seller’s or the Servicer’s, as the case may be, expense) may so notify the Obligors,
(iii)the Administrator may request the Servicer to, and upon such request the Servicer shall: (A) assemble all of the records necessary or desirable to collect the Pool Receivables and the Related Security, and transfer or license to a successor Servicer the use of all software necessary or desirable to collect the Pool Receivables and the Related Security, and make the same available to the Administrator or its designee (for the benefit of the Purchasers) at a place selected by the Administrator, and (B) segregate all cash, checks and other instruments received by it from time to time constituting Collections in a manner acceptable to the Administrator and, promptly upon receipt, remit all such cash, checks and instruments, duly endorsed or with duly executed instruments of transfer, to the Administrator or its designee, and

(iv)the Administrator may collect any amounts due from any Originator under the Sale Agreement.
(b)The Seller hereby authorizes the Administrator (on behalf of each Purchaser Group), and irrevocably appoints the Administrator as its attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution and with full authority in the place and stead of the Seller, which appointment is coupled with an interest, to take any and all steps in the name of the Seller and on behalf of the Seller necessary or desirable, in the determination of the Administrator, after the occurrence and during the continuation of a Termination Event, to collect any and all amounts or portions thereof due under any and all Pool Assets, including endorsing the name of the Seller on checks and other instruments representing Collections and enforcing such Pool Assets. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 4.4(b), none of the powers conferred upon such attorney-in-fact pursuant to the preceding sentence shall subject such attorney-in-fact to any liability if any action taken by it shall prove to be inadequate or invalid, nor shall they confer any obligations upon such attorney-in-fact in any manner whatsoever.
Section 4.5.Responsibilities of the Seller.
(a)Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Seller shall: (i) perform all of its obligations, if any, under the Contracts related to the Pool Receivables to the same extent as if interests in such Pool Receivables had not been transferred hereunder, and the exercise by the Administrator, the Purchaser Agents or the Purchasers of their respective rights hereunder shall not relieve the Seller from such obligations, and (ii) pay when due any Taxes, including any sales taxes payable in connection with the Pool Receivables and their creation and satisfaction. None of the Administrator, the Purchaser Agents or any of the Purchasers shall have any obligation or liability with respect to any Pool Asset, nor shall any of them be obligated to perform any of the obligations of the Seller, the Servicer, Swift or the Originators thereunder.
(b)Swift hereby irrevocably agrees that if at any time it shall cease to be the Servicer hereunder, it shall act (if the then-current Servicer so requests) as the data-processing agent of the Servicer and, in such capacity, Swift shall conduct the data-processing functions of the administration of the Receivables and the Collections thereon in substantially the same way that Swift conducted such data-processing functions while it acted as the Servicer.
Section 4.6.Servicing Fee.  Subject to clause (b), the Servicer shall be paid a fee (the “Servicing Fee”) equal to 1.00% per annum (the “Servicing Fee Rate”) of the daily average aggregate Outstanding Balance of the Pool Receivables.

(b)If the Servicer ceases to be Swift or an Affiliate thereof, the Servicing Fee shall be the greater of: (i) the amount calculated pursuant to clause (a), and (ii) an alternative amount specified by the successor Servicer not to exceed 110% of the aggregate reasonable costs and expenses incurred by such successor Servicer in connection with the performance of its obligations as Servicer.
-41-

Section 4.7.Reporting Frequency. The Seller may, upon two Business Days prior notice to the Administrator and the Servicer, elect to provide Weekly Reports to the Administrator. Upon such election, a Weekly Reporting Period shall begin and the Seller and the Servicer shall be required to provide Weekly Reports in accordance with Clauses 1(a)(ii) and 2(a)(iv) of Exhibit IV, as applicable. Upon any such election of the implementation of a Weekly Reporting Period, such Weekly Reporting Period shall continue hereunder at all times until the date on which Seller provides the Administrator and the Servicer with no less than two Business Days prior notice that it would like to terminate the Weekly Reporting Period and the Administrator provides its written consent to the termination of such Weekly Reporting Period (which consent may be provided or denied in the Administrator’s sole discretion).

The Administrator shall take such action concerning a Termination Event or an Unmatured Termination Event as may be directed by the Majority Purchaser Agents (unless such action otherwise requires the consent of all Purchasers, the LC Bank and/or the Required LC Participants), but until the Administrator receives such directions, the Administrator may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from
-44-

taking such action, as the Administrator deems advisable and in the best interests of the Purchasers and the Purchaser Agents.
Section 5.6.Non-Reliance on Administrator, Purchaser Agents and Other Purchasers. Each Purchaser expressly acknowledges that none of the Administrator, the Purchaser Agents or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrator, or any Purchaser Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Seller, Swift, the Servicer or any Originator, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrator or such Purchaser Agent, as applicable. Each Purchaser represents and warrants to the Administrator and the Purchaser Agents that, independently and without reliance upon the Administrator, Purchaser Agents or any other Purchaser and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, it has made and will continue to make its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, prospects, financial and other conditions and creditworthiness of the Seller, Swift, the Servicer or the Originators, and the Receivables and its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to take, or omit, action under any Transaction Document. Except for items specifically required to be delivered hereunder, the Administrator shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Purchaser Agent with any information concerning the Seller, Swift, the Servicer or the Originators or any of their Affiliates that comes into the possession of the Administrator or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.
Section 5.7.Administrator, Purchasers, Purchaser Agents and Affiliates. Each of the Administrator, the Purchasers and the Purchaser Agents and any of their respective Affiliates may extend credit to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, debt, equity or other business with the Seller, Swift, the Servicer or any Originator or any of their Affiliates. With respect to the acquisition of the Eligible Receivables pursuant to this Agreement, each of the Purchaser Agents and the Administrator shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any Purchaser and may exercise the same as though it were not such an agent, and the terms “Purchaser” and “Purchasers” shall include, to the extent applicable, each of the Purchaser Agents and the Administrator in their individual capacities.
Section 5.8.Indemnification. Each LC Participant and Related Committed Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrator (but solely in its capacity as Administrator) and the LC Bank and their respective officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents (to the extent not reimbursed by the Seller, the Servicer or any Originator and without limiting the obligation of the Seller, the Servicer, or any Originator to do so), ratably (based on its Commitment) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, judgments, settlements, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind whatsoever (including in connection with any investigative or threatened proceeding, whether or not the Administrator, the LC Bank or such Person shall be designated a party thereto) that may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrator, the LC Bank or such Person as a result of, or related to, any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents or the execution, delivery or performance of the Transaction Documents or any other document furnished in connection therewith (but excluding any such liabilities, obligations, losses,
-45-

damages, penalties, judgments, settlements, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrator, the LC Bank or such Person as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each LC Participant agrees to reimburse the Administrator and the LC Bank, ratably according to its Pro Rata Shares, promptly upon demand, for any out of pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by the Administrator or the LC Bank in connection with the administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of, its rights and responsibilities under this Agreement.
Section 5.9.Successor Administrator. The Administrator may, upon at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Seller, each Purchaser and Purchaser Agent, resign as Administrator. Such resignation shall not become effective until (x) a successor Administrator is appointed by the Majority Purchaser Agents and has accepted such appointment and (y) so long as no Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Seller and the Servicer shall have consented to such successor Administrator (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Upon such acceptance of its appointment as Administrator hereunder by a successor Administrator, such successor Administrator shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights and duties of the retiring Administrator, and the retiring Administrator shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Transaction Documents. After any retiring Administrator’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of Sections 3.1 and 3.2 and this Article V shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrator.
Section 5.10.Erroneous Payments. (a) Each Purchaser Agent hereby agrees that (i) if the Administrator notifies such Purchaser Agent that the Administrator has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Purchaser Agent from the Administrator or any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Purchaser Agent (whether or not known to such Purchaser Agent (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise), individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Purchaser Agent shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrator the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Purchaser Agent to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrator in same day funds at the greater of the Overnight Bank Funding Rate and a rate determined by the Administrator in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect, and (ii) such Purchaser Agent shall not assert any right or claim to the Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrator for the return of any Erroneous Payments received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine. A notice of the Administrator to any Purchaser Agent under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
-46-

(b)    Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Purchaser Agent hereby further agrees that if it receives an Erroneous Payment from the Administrator (or any of its Affiliates) (i) that is in an amount different than (other than a de minimis difference), or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment sent by the Administrator (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Erroneous Payment (an “Erroneous Payment Notice”), or (ii) that was not preceded or accompanied by an Erroneous Payment Notice, it shall be on notice that, in each such case, an error has been made with respect to such Erroneous Payment. Each Purchaser Agent further agrees that, in each such case, or if it otherwise becomes aware an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) may have been sent in error, such Purchaser Agent shall promptly notify the Administrator of such occurrence and, upon demand from the Administrator, it shall promptly, but in no event later than one (1) Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrator the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) that was received by such Purchaser Agent to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrator in same day funds at the greater of the Overnight Bank Funding Rate and a rate determined by the Administrator in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect.
(c)    The Seller and each other loan party hereby agree that (i) in the event an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Purchaser Agent that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrator shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Purchaser Agent with respect to such amount and (ii) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any obligations owed by the Seller or any other loan party.
(d)    Each party’s obligations under this Section 5.10 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrator or any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Purchaser Agent, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Transaction Document.

Section 6.3.Successors and Assigns; Participations; Assignments.
(a)Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.1(d), neither the Seller nor the Servicer may assign or transfer any of its rights or delegate any of its duties hereunder or under any Transaction Document without the prior consent of the Administrator, the LC Bank, the Required LC Participants and the Purchaser Agents.
(b)Participations. (i) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, any Purchaser may sell to one or more Persons (each a “Participant”) participating interests in the interests of such Purchaser hereunder; provided, that no Purchaser shall grant any participation under which the Participant shall have rights to approve any amendment to or waiver of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. Such Purchaser shall remain solely responsible for performing its obligations hereunder, and the Seller, the Servicer, each Purchaser Agent and the Administrator shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Purchaser in connection with such Purchaser’s rights and obligations hereunder. A Purchaser shall not agree with a Participant
-48-

to restrict such Purchaser’s right to agree to any amendment hereto, except amendments that require the consent of all Purchasers.
    (ii) Notwithstanding anything contained in paragraph (a) or clause (i) of paragraph (b) of this Section 6.3, each of the LC Bank and each LC Participant may sell participations in all or any part of any Funded Purchase made by such LC Participant to another bank or other entity so long as (x) no such grant of a participation shall, without the consent of the Seller, require the Seller to file a registration statement with the SEC and (y) no holder of any such participation shall be entitled to require such LC Participant to take or omit to take any action hereunder except that such LC Participant may agree with such participant that, without such Participant’s consent, such LC Participant will not consent to an amendment, modification or waiver referred to in Section 6.1. Any such Participant shall not have any rights hereunder or under the Transaction Documents.
(c)Assignments by Certain Related Committed Purchasers. Any Related Committed Purchaser may assign to one or more Persons (each a “Purchasing Related Committed Purchaser”), reasonably acceptable to the Administrator, the LC Bank and the related Purchaser Agent in its sole discretion, any portion of its Commitment (which shall be inclusive of its Commitment as an LC Participant) pursuant to a supplement hereto, substantially in the form of Annex D with any changes as have been approved by the parties thereto (each, a “Transfer Supplement”), executed by each such Purchasing Related Committed Purchaser, such selling Related Committed Purchaser, such related Purchaser Agent and the Administrator and with the consent of the Seller (provided, that the consent of the Seller shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and that no such consent shall be required if a Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event has occurred and is continuing; provided, further, that no consent of the Seller shall be required if the assignment is made by any Related Committed Purchaser to the Administrator, to any other Related Committed Purchaser, to any Affiliate of the Administrator or any Related Committed Purchaser, to any Program Support Provider or any Person which (i) is in the business of issuing commercial paper notes and (ii) is associated with or administered by the Administrator or any Affiliate of the Administrator). Any such assignment by a Related Committed Purchaser cannot be for an amount less than $10,000,000. Upon (i) the execution of the Transfer Supplement, (ii) delivery of an executed copy thereof to the Seller, the Servicer, such related Purchaser Agent and the Administrator and (iii) payment by the Purchasing Related Committed Purchaser to the selling Related Committed Purchaser of the agreed purchase price, if any, such selling Related Committed Purchaser shall be released from its obligations hereunder to the extent of such assignment and such Purchasing Related Committed Purchaser shall for all purposes be a Related Committed Purchaser party hereto and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Related Committed Purchaser hereunder to the same extent as if it were an original party hereto. The amount of the Commitment of the selling Related Committed Purchaser allocable to such Purchasing Related Committed Purchaser shall be equal to the amount of the Commitment of the selling Related Committed Purchaser transferred regardless of the purchase price, if any, paid therefor. The Transfer Supplement shall be an amendment hereof only to the extent necessary to reflect the addition of such Purchasing Related Committed Purchaser as a “Related Committed Purchaser” and a related “LC Participant” and any resulting adjustment of the selling Related Committed Purchaser’s Commitment.
-49-

(d)Assignments to Liquidity Providers and other Program Support Providers. Any Conduit Purchaser may at any time grant to one or more of its Liquidity Providers or other Program Support Providers, participating interests in its portion of the Purchased Interest. In the event of any such grant by such Conduit Purchaser of a participating interest to a Liquidity Provider or other Program Support Provider, such Conduit Purchaser shall remain responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder. The Seller agrees that each Liquidity Provider and Program Support Provider of any Conduit Purchaser hereunder shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 1.7.
(e)Other Assignment by Conduit Purchasers. Each party hereto agrees and consents (i) to any Conduit Purchaser’s assignment, participation, grant of security interests in or other transfers of any portion of, or any of its beneficial interest in, the Purchased Interest (or portion thereof), including without limitation to any collateral agent or trustee in connection with such Conduit Purchaser’s commercial paper note program and (ii) to the complete assignment by any Conduit Purchaser of all of its rights and obligations hereunder to any other Person, and upon such assignment such Conduit Purchaser shall be released from all obligations and duties, if any, hereunder; provided, that such Conduit Purchaser may not, without the prior consent of its Related Committed Purchasers and the Seller (provided, that the consent of the Seller shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and that no such consent shall be required if a Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event has occurred and is continuing), make any such transfer of its rights hereunder unless the assignee (x) is principally engaged in the purchase of assets similar to the assets being purchased hereunder, (y) has as its Purchaser Agent the Purchaser Agent of the assigning Conduit Purchaser and (z) issues commercial paper or other Notes with credit ratings substantially comparable to the ratings of the assigning Conduit Purchaser.
(f)Opinions of Counsel.

(g)Assignments to Federal Reserve Banks. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6.3, any Purchaser may at any time assign, as collateral or otherwise, all or any portion of its rights (including, without limitation, rights to payment of interest and repayment of the Purchased Interest) under this Agreement to any Federal Reserve Bank, without notice to or consent of the Seller, Administrator or any other Person. In connection with such pledge, such Purchaser shall be entitled to receive a physical note evidencing such Purchased Interest.

The Seller shall, subject to the provisos in clause (e) of each of Sections 1 and 2 of Exhibit IV, reimburse the Administrator, each Purchaser Agent and each Purchaser for the cost of such Person’s auditors (which may be employees of such Person) auditing the books, records and procedures of the Seller or the Servicer; provided, that the Administrator shall discuss the scope and cost of any such audit prior to commencement (it being understood that failure to discuss the scope or cost of any such audit shall not relieve the Seller of its obligation to pay such amounts). The Seller shall reimburse each Conduit Purchaser for any amounts such Conduit Purchaser must pay to any related Liquidity Provider or other related Program Support Provider pursuant to any Program Support Agreement on account of any Tax. The Seller shall reimburse each Purchaser on demand for all reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses incurred by such Purchaser in connection with the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby.
(b)In addition, the Seller shall pay on demand any and all stamp, franchise and other taxes and fees payable in connection with the execution, delivery, filing and recording of this Agreement or the other documents or agreements to be delivered hereunder, and agrees to save each Indemnified Party and Affected Person harmless from and against any liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay in paying or omission to pay such taxes and fees.

(b)Notwithstanding any provisions contained in this Agreement to the contrary, no Conduit Purchaser shall or shall be obligated to, pay any amount, if any, payable by it pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document unless (i) such Conduit Purchaser has received funds which may be used to make such payment and which funds are not required to repay the Notes when due and (ii) after giving effect to such payment, either (x) such Conduit Purchaser could issue Notes to refinance all outstanding Notes (assuming such outstanding Notes matured at such time) in accordance with the program documents governing such Conduit Purchaser’s securitization program or (y) all Notes are paid in full. Any amount which such Conduit Purchaser does not pay pursuant to the operation of the preceding sentence shall not constitute a claim (as defined in §101 of the Bankruptcy Code) against or company obligation of such Conduit Purchaser for any such insufficiency unless and until such Conduit Purchaser satisfies the provisions of clauses (i) and (ii) above. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a defaulting Purchaser or Agent shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

Reference to this specific Agreement need not be made in any agreement, document, instrument, letter, certificate, the Original Purchase Agreement itself, or any communication issued or made pursuant to or with respect to the Original Purchase Agreement, any reference to the Original Purchase Agreement being sufficient to refer to the Original Purchase Agreement as amended and restated hereby.
    From and after the Restatement Date, (a)(i) the commitments of those Purchasers under the Original Purchase Agreement that are continuing as Purchasers under this Agreement (the “Continuing Purchasers”) shall be amended as set forth below the signatures of such Purchasers to this Agreement and (ii) the commitments of those Purchasers party to this Agreement that were not “Purchasers” under the Original Purchase Agreement immediately prior to the Restatement Date (the “New Purchasers”) shall be as set forth below the signatures of such Purchasers to this Agreement; and (b) all outstanding “Capital” of the Continuing Purchasers and all interests in outstanding “Letters of Credit” under the Original Purchase Agreement shall remain outstanding as the Capital and Letters of Credit hereunder.
