(a)Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, from time to time prior to the Purchase Termination Date, Seller may request that Administrative Agent, on behalf of (x) the Conduit Purchasers or, if any Conduit Purchaser is unable or unwilling to make a purchase, the related Committed Purchaser in such Conduit Purchaser’s Purchaser Group, and/or (y) the Committed Purchasers if such Committed Purchaser’s Purchaser Group does not have a Conduit Purchaser, purchase from Seller the Pool Assets and Related Assets from time to time and Administrative Agent, on behalf of such Purchasers, shall make such purchase (each such purchase, a “Committed Purchase”) subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement in an amount (the “Committed Purchase Price”) equal in each instance to the lesser of: (i) the amount requested by Seller under Section 1.2(a)(i), and (ii) the largest amount that will not cause (a) with respect to any Purchaser Group, such Purchaser Group’s Purchaser Group Committed Investment to exceed such Purchaser Group’s Purchaser Group Commitment, (b) the aggregate Total Committed Investment to exceed the Purchasers’ Total Commitment, or (c) the Total Investment to exceed the sum of the Receivables Investment Base and the Loan Investment Base at such time; provided, however, that if any requested Conduit Purchaser is unwilling or unable for any reason to make such Committed Purchase, Seller shall be deemed to have requested that the related Committed Purchaser in such Conduit Purchaser’s Purchaser Group make such Committed Purchase subject to the limitations set forth in the foregoing clause (ii). Each Committed Purchase made pursuant to this Section 1.1(a) shall be in an amount at least equal to $5,000,000 and, in each case, in integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof. Each Committed Purchaser hereby agrees, on the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, to make Committed Purchases deemed to be so requested by Seller under this Section 1.1(a) if the Conduit Purchaser in such Committed Purchaser’s Purchaser Group, if any, is unable or unwilling to make such Committed Purchase, or if such Committed Purchaser’s Purchaser Group does not have a Conduit Purchaser, so long as after giving effect to such Committed Purchase (and any other Purchase to be made on such date) (i) the aggregate Total Committed Investment would not exceed the Purchasers’ Total Commitment, (ii) the Purchaser Group’s Purchaser Group Committed Investment would not exceed such Purchaser Group’s Purchaser Group Commitment, and (iii) the aggregate Total Investment would not exceed the sum of the Receivables Investment Base and the

755931971 16509877

Loan Investment Base at such time. At no time shall a Conduit Purchaser that is not a Committed Purchaser have any obligation or commitment to make any Purchase.

(b)Solely to the extent that each Purchaser Group’s Purchaser Group Committed Investment is greater than or equal to each such Purchaser Group’s Purchaser Group Commitment and upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, from time to time prior to the Purchase Termination Date, Seller may request that Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Purchasers, purchase on an uncommitted basis from Seller the Pool Assets and Related Assets from time to time, and Administrative Agent, on behalf of each Purchaser that has expressly agreed, in its sole and absolute discretion, to make such purchase, shall make such Purchase (each such purchase, an “Uncommitted Purchase”) and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement in an amount (the “Uncommitted Purchase Price”) equal in each instance to the lesser of: (i) the amount requested by Seller under Section 1.2(a)(ii), and (ii) the largest amount that will not cause (a) with respect to any Purchaser Group, such Purchaser Group’s Purchaser Group Uncommitted Investment to exceed such Purchaser Group’s Uncommitted Amount, (b) the aggregate Total Uncommitted Investment to exceed the Purchasers’ Total Uncommitted Amount, or (c) the Total Investment to exceed the sum of the Receivables Investment Base and the Loan Investment Base at such time. Each Uncommitted Purchase, if any, made pursuant to this Section 1.1(b) shall be in an amount at least equal to $5,000,000 and, in each case, in integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof. At no time shall any Purchaser have any obligation or commitment to make any Uncommitted Purchase and any Uncommitted Purchase (including the amount such Purchaser is required to fund in connection therewith) shall be at the sole and absolute discretion of each Purchaser.

(c)For all purposes under this Agreement and each other Transaction Document and notwithstanding anything contained herein or in any other Transaction Document to the contrary, following the occurrence of the Specified Purchase Termination Date, each Specified Purchaser’s Commitment, Uncommitted Amount, related Purchaser Group’s Purchaser Group Commitment and related Purchaser Group’s Uncommitted Amount shall, in each case, be immediately reduced to zero ($0.00) and such Specified Purchaser shall have no further obligation to fund any Purchase. On the Specified Final Payout Date each Specified Purchaser and its related Purchaser Agent shall, without further action on the part of any Person, cease to be a party to this Agreement as a Purchaser or Purchaser Agent, as applicable, for any purpose.

SECTION 1.2 Purchase Procedures; Assignment of Seller’s Interests.

(a)Notice of Purchases and Purchase Requests. Except as set forth in Section 1.3, each Committed Purchase shall be made pursuant to a Notice of Purchase in accordance with clause (i) below and each Uncommitted Purchase, if any, shall be made pursuant to a Purchase Request in accordance with clause (ii) below; provided, however, that Seller shall not request, and the Purchasers shall not be required to fund, more than six (6) Purchases per calendar month (for the avoidance of doubt, this shall not, however, restrain the making of Reinvestments of Collections in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement in any calendar month).

(i)With respect to any Committed Purchase, Seller shall deliver a Notice of Purchase to Administrative Agent and each Purchaser Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the second (2nd) Business Day preceding the date of such proposed Committed Purchase. Each Notice of Purchase shall specify (A) the desired Committed Purchase Price and date of such proposed Committed Purchase (each such date, a “Requested Committed

755931971 16509877

Purchase Date”) (which shall be a Business Day), (B) the amount of such proposed Committed Purchase to be allocated to each Purchaser Group in accordance with each Purchaser Group’s Ratable Share, and (C) a pro forma calculation of the Asset Interest after giving effect to such Committed Purchase and any other Purchase proposed to be made on such day. If any Conduit Purchaser is willing and able, in its sole discretion, to make its Ratable Share of a Committed Purchase requested of it pursuant to this Section 1.2(a)(i) subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such Conduit Purchaser shall make such Committed Purchase by transferring such amount in accordance with clause (b) below on the applicable Requested Committed Purchase Date. If any Conduit Purchaser is unwilling or unable for any reason to make its Ratable Share of such Committed Purchase, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Committed Purchaser in such Conduit Purchaser’s Purchaser Group, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, shall make its Ratable Share of such Committed Purchase by transferring such amount in accordance with clause (b) below on the applicable Requested Committed Purchase Date.

(ii)With respect to any Uncommitted Purchase, Seller shall deliver a Purchase Request to Administrative Agent and each Purchaser Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the fifteenth (15th) Business Day preceding the date of such proposed Uncommitted Purchase. Each Purchase Request shall specify (A) the desired Uncommitted Purchase Price and date of such proposed Uncommitted Purchase (each such date, a “Requested Uncommitted Purchase Date”) (which shall be a Business Day), (B) the amount of such proposed Uncommitted Purchase to be initially allocated (unless otherwise agreed by each of the Purchaser Agents in writing) to each Purchaser Group in accordance with each Purchaser Group’s Uncommitted Ratable Share, and (C) a pro forma calculation of the Asset Interest after giving effect to such Uncommitted Purchase and any other Purchase proposed to be made on such day. Each Purchaser Agent shall promptly forward each Purchase Request received by it to the Purchasers in its Purchaser Group. Each Purchaser Agent shall notify Seller and Administrative Agent in writing no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) three (3) Business Days prior to the related Requested Uncommitted Purchase Date whether or not any Purchasers in its Purchaser Group have determined, in their sole and absolute discretion, to make the requested Uncommitted Purchase pursuant to the related Purchase Request and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement (each such written acceptance of the related Purchase Request with respect to any Purchaser Group pursuant to this clause (ii), a “Purchase Acceptance”); provided, however, that the failure of any Purchaser Agent to so notify Seller and Administrative Agent, by 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) three (3) Business Days prior to the related Requested Uncommitted Purchase Date, of the determination of the Purchasers in its Purchaser Group, shall be deemed a rejection by the Purchasers in such Purchaser Group to make such requested Uncommitted Purchase.

(A)In the event that one or more Purchaser Groups reject (or is deemed to have rejected) any requested Uncommitted Purchase (any such Purchaser Group, solely with respect to the related Purchase Request, a “Rejecting Purchaser Group”), Seller may send a written request (each such request, a “Supplemental Purchase Request”) to the Administrative Agent and the Purchaser Agents for each of the Purchaser Groups that delivered a Purchase Acceptance (any such Purchaser Group, solely with respect to the related Purchase Request, an “Accepting Purchaser Group”), no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) three (3) Business Days

755931971 16509877

prior to the related Requested Uncommitted Purchase Date, requesting that each Accepting Purchaser Group makes an additional purchase on the related Requested Uncommitted Purchase Date in accordance with the Supplemental Purchase Request in an amount equal to such Accepting Purchaser Group’s Accepting Purchaser Group Percentage of the aggregate amount requested to be purchased by all Rejecting Purchaser Groups in the related Purchase Request, which Supplemental Purchase Request shall specify (i) the amount that each Accepting Purchaser Group has agreed, pursuant to the applicable Purchase Acceptance, to pay to Seller on the related Requested Uncommitted Purchase Date, (ii) each Accepting Purchaser Group’s Accepting Group Purchaser Percentage of the aggregate amount requested to be purchased by all Rejecting Groups in the applicable Purchase Request, (iii) the additional amount that Seller is requesting each Accepting Purchaser Group to pay to Seller, pursuant to the applicable Supplemental Purchase Request, on the related Requested Uncommitted Purchase Date and (iv) the aggregate amount that Seller is asking each Accepting Purchaser Group to pay to Seller on the related Requested Uncommitted Purchase Date. Each Purchaser Agent shall promptly forward each Supplemental Purchase Request received by it to the Purchasers in its Purchaser Group.

(B)Each Purchaser Agent for an Accepting Purchaser Group shall notify Seller and Administrative Agent in writing no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) one (1) Business Day prior to the related Requested Uncommitted Purchase Date whether or not any Purchasers in its Accepting Purchaser Group have determined, in their sole and absolute discretion, to make the requested Uncommitted Purchase pursuant to the Supplemental Purchase Request and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement (each such written acceptance of a Supplemental Purchase Request with respect to any Accepting Purchaser Group, a “Supplemental Purchase Acceptance”); provided, however, that the failure of any Purchaser Agent to so notify Seller and Administrative Agent, by 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) one (1) Business Day prior to the related Requested Uncommitted Purchase Date, of the determination of the Purchasers in its Accepting Purchaser Group, shall be deemed a rejection by the Purchasers in such Accepting Purchaser Group to make such requested Uncommitted Purchase set forth in such Supplemental Purchase Request.

(C)If any Purchaser agrees to fund the related Purchase Request or Supplemental Purchase Request pursuant to this Section 1.2(a)(ii) subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such Purchaser shall make such Uncommitted Purchase by transferring such amount in accordance with clause (b) below on the related Requested Uncommitted Purchase Date.

(D)Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall not request any Purchaser Group to make any Uncommitted Purchase under this Section 1.2(a)(ii) pursuant to a Purchase Request, Supplemental Purchase Request or otherwise that would cause such Purchaser Group’s Purchaser Group Uncommitted Investment to exceed such Purchaser Group’s Uncommitted Amount.

755931971 16509877

(E)No Purchaser in any Purchaser Group shall (x) be obligated to make any Uncommitted Purchase, (y) be obligated to make any commitment with respect to any Uncommitted Purchase or (z) be responsible for the failure of any other Purchaser or Purchaser Group to make funds available in connection with any Uncommitted Purchase.

(b)Payment of Purchase Price. On the date of each Purchase hereunder, the applicable Purchasers, or the related Purchaser Agent, shall, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth herein (including in Article V), make available to the Seller (i) with respect to Committed Purchases, their Ratable Share, and (ii) with respect to Uncommitted Purchases, their respective portion, of the aggregate Purchase Price with respect to such Purchase in immediately available funds at the following account:

Holder Name:     [***]
Bank Name:     [***]
Address:    [***]

Account Number: [***]

ABA Number: [***]

Reference: [***]

or such other account as designated from time to time by Seller in a written notice to Administrative Agent and each Purchaser Agent.

(c)Sale and Assignment of Asset Interest. Seller hereby absolutely and irrevocably sells, assigns and transfers to Administrative Agent (on behalf of Purchasers) (ratably, according to each Purchaser Group’s Purchaser Group Investment), upon the payment of the aggregate Purchase Price, effective on and as of the date of each Purchase and Reinvestment hereunder, all of its right, title and interest in, to and under all Pool Assets and Related Assets and all proceeds of any of the foregoing, whether currently owned or existing or thereafter arising, acquired or originated, or in which Seller now or hereafter has any rights, and wherever so located (the assets so assigned to include not only the Pool Assets and Related Assets existing as of the date of such Purchase but also all future Pool Assets and the Related Assets acquired by Seller from time to time as provided in Section 1.3). Administrative Agent’s (on behalf of the Purchasers) right, title and interest in, to and under all such assets is herein called the “Asset Interest”.

On any date the Asset Interest will represent Purchasers’ ownership interest in all then outstanding Pool Assets and all Related Assets with respect thereto (including all Collections and other proceeds thereof as described in this Section 1.2(c)), as at such date. On any date, the Asset Interest will be equal to a percentage, expressed as the following fraction:

TI + RR
NPB

where:


TI	=	Total Investment;
RR	=	the Required Reserves; and
NPB	=	the Net Pool Balance;

755931971 16509877

in each case as of that date; provided, that the Asset Interest will remain constant at 100% of the Net Pool Balance at all times on and after (x) the Specified Purchase Termination Date until the Specified Final Payout Date and (y) the Purchase Termination Date until the Final Payout Date. Administrative Agent’s right, title and interest in and to such assets, for the benefit of the Purchasers, is herein called the “Asset Interest”.

(d)Characterization as a Purchase and Sale; Recharacterization. It is the intention of the parties to this Agreement that the conveyance of Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Asset Interest to Administrative Agent (on behalf of Purchasers) pursuant to this Agreement shall not constitute a purchase and sale and shall instead constitute a pledge and financing, and such purchase and sale of the Asset Interest to Administrative Agent (on behalf of Purchasers) hereunder shall be treated as a financing for all purposes including, U.S. federal, state and local income and franchise tax and accounting purposes. The provisions of this Agreement and all related Transaction Documents shall be construed to further these intentions of the parties. Accordingly, the Seller hereby grants to Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Affected Parties) a security interest to secure Xxxxxx’s Obligations hereunder in the Asset Interest as provided in Section 9.1. Each of the parties hereto hereby acknowledges and intends that no Purchase hereunder shall constitute, or be deemed to constitute, a Security under U.S. securities laws or within the meaning of the UCC. The provisions of this Agreement and all related Transaction Documents shall be construed to further these intentions of the parties hereto.

(e)Tax Treatment. It is the intention of the parties to this Agreement that for U.S. federal, state and local income and franchise tax purposes, each Purchase will be treated as a loan from the applicable Purchaser to Seller (it being understood that all payments to the Purchasers, in their capacity as such, representing Yield, fees and other amounts accrued under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents shall be deemed to constitute interest payments).

(f)Purchasers’ Limitation on Payments. Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to the contrary, none of the Purchasers, Purchaser Agents or Administrative Agent shall, and none of them shall be obligated (whether on behalf of a Purchaser or otherwise) to, pay any amount to Seller as a Reinvestment under Section 1.3, except to the extent that Collections are available for distribution to Seller for such purpose in accordance with this Agreement. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, the obligations of any Conduit Purchaser under this Agreement and all other Transaction Documents shall be payable by such Conduit Purchaser solely to the extent of funds received from Seller in accordance herewith or from any party to any Transaction Document in accordance with the terms thereof in excess of funds necessary to pay such Person’s matured and maturing Commercial Paper Notes or other senior indebtedness when due. Any amount which Administrative Agent, a Purchaser Agent or a Purchaser is not obligated to pay pursuant to the operation of the two preceding sentences shall not constitute a claim (as defined in § 101 of the Bankruptcy Code) against, or corporate obligation of, any Purchaser Agent, any Purchaser or Administrative Agent, as applicable, for any such insufficiency unless and until such amount becomes available for distribution to Seller pursuant to the terms hereof.

(g)Obligations Not Assumed. The foregoing sale, assignment and transfer does not constitute, and is not intended to result in, the creation or an assumption by Administrative Agent, any Purchaser Agent, any Purchaser or any other Affected Party of any obligation or liability of the Seller, any Originator, the Servicer or any other Person

755931971 16509877

under or in connection with all, or any portion of, the Asset Interest (including the Pool Assets and Related Assets), all of which shall remain the obligations and liabilities of the Seller, the Originators, the Servicer and such other Persons, as applicable.

(h)Obligations. Each Committed Purchaser’s obligations hereunder shall be several, such that the failure of any Committed Purchaser to make a payment in connection with any Purchase hereunder shall not relieve any other Committed Purchaser of its obligations hereunder to make payment for any Purchase.

SECTION 1.3 Reinvestments of Certain Collections; Payment of Remaining Collections; Asset Interest.

(a)On the close of business on each Business Day during the period from the Effective Date to the Final Payout Date, Servicer shall, on behalf of Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Affected Parties), out of all Collections from Pool Assets received since the end of the immediately preceding Business Day:

(i)set aside and hold in trust for Administrative Agent on behalf of the Affected Parties, an amount (based on information provided by Administrative Agent pursuant to Article II) equal to the sum of (a) the estimated amount of Yield accrued in respect of each Rate Tranche, (b) all other amounts due to Administrative Agent, Purchaser Agents, Purchasers or any other Affected Party hereunder (including Deemed Collections, Repurchase Payments and costs and expenses described in Section 13.6), (c) all Custodian fees and expenses due to the Custodian under the Custodian Agreement, (d) the Servicing Fee (in each case, accrued through such day and not so previously set aside or anticipated to accrue through the end of the then current Settlement Period, as determined by Servicer based upon, among other relevant information, the then outstanding Total Investment and the Yield Rates then in effect) and (e) any other obligations of Seller hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents accrued through such day and not previously set aside, or then due and owing or otherwise outstanding (other than any portion of the Total Investment that is not otherwise payable on the following Settlement Date); and

(ii)subject to Sections 3.1(c)(iv) and 3.2(c), set aside such Collections as are not required to be set aside and held in trust pursuant to clause (i) above (including any such Collections not set aside but commingled), for Seller to pay to the Originators for additional Pool Assets and Related Assets with respect to such Pool Assets (each such purchase being a “Reinvestment”); provided, that, (A) if (I) the Total Investment would exceed the sum of the Receivables Investment Base and the Loan Investment Base, (II) any Purchaser Group’s Purchaser Group Committed Investment would exceed such Purchaser Group’s Purchaser Group Commitment, (III) any Purchaser Group’s Purchaser Group Uncommitted Investment would exceed such Purchaser Group’s Uncommitted Amount, (IV) the Total Committed Investment would exceed the Purchasers’ Total Commitment, or (V) the Total Uncommitted Investment would exceed the Purchasers’ Total Uncommitted Amount (in each case, at such time and after giving effect to such Reinvestment), then Servicer (for the benefit of the Purchasers) shall only make Reinvestments after first setting aside and holding in trust for the benefit of Administrative Agent on behalf of the Affected Parties in accordance with Section 3.4, a portion of such Collections which, together with other Collections previously set aside for such purpose and then so held, shall equal the amount necessary to reduce (i) the Total Committed Investment to an amount equal to or less than the Purchasers’ Total Commitment, (ii) the Total Uncommitted

755931971 16509877

Investment to an amount equal to or less than the Purchasers’ Total Uncommitted Amount, (iii) each Purchaser Group’s Purchaser Group Committed Investment to an amount equal to or less than such Purchaser Group’s Purchaser Group Commitment, (iv) each Purchaser Group’s Purchaser Group Uncommitted Investment to an amount equal to or less than such Purchaser Group’s Uncommitted Amount and (v) the Total Investment to an amount equal to or less than the sum of the Receivables Investment Base and the Loan Investment Base, in each case, at such time (any remaining Collections after giving effect to this proviso shall then be applied as described above in this Section 1.3(a)(ii)); and (B) if the conditions precedent to Reinvestment in clause (a), (b), (d), (e) or (f) of Section 5.3 are not satisfied or no Reinvestments are to be made in accordance with Section 3.2(c), then Servicer shall not apply any of such remaining Collections to a Reinvestment.

(b)Unreinvested Collections. Subject to Sections 1.3(a)(ii) and 3.1(c)(iv), Servicer shall set aside and hold in trust for the benefit of Administrative Agent on behalf of the applicable Affected Parties, all Collections which, pursuant to clause (ii) of Section 1.3(a), may not be reinvested in the Pool Assets and Related Assets. If, prior to the date when such Collections are required to be paid to the applicable Purchaser Agents for the benefit of the applicable Affected Parties, pursuant to Section 1.3(c), the amount of Collections so set aside exceeds the amount, if any, necessary to reduce (i) the Total Committed Investment to an amount equal to or less than the Purchasers’ Total Commitment, (ii) the Total Uncommitted Investment to an amount equal to or less than the Purchasers’ Total Uncommitted Amount, (iii) each Purchaser Group’s Purchaser Group Committed Investment to an amount equal to or less than the related Purchaser Group Commitment, (iv) each Purchaser Group’s Purchaser Group Uncommitted Investment to an amount equal to or less than the related Purchaser Group’s Uncommitted Amount and (v) Total Investment to an amount equal to or less than the sum of the Receivables Investment Base and the Loan Investment Base (in each case, at such time), and the conditions precedent to Reinvestment set forth in clauses (a), (b), (d), (e) and (f) of Section 5.3 are satisfied and Reinvestments are permitted in accordance with Section 3.2(c), then Servicer shall apply such Collections (or, if less, a portion of such Collections equal to the amount of such excess) in accordance with Section 1.3(a)(ii) to the making of a Reinvestment.

(c)Payment of Amounts Set Aside.

(i)Servicer shall pay all amounts of Collections set aside and held in trust pursuant to clause (i) of Section 1.3(a) in respect of Yield on a Rate Tranche not funded by the issuance of Commercial Paper Notes (including under a Liquidity Agreement or an Enhancement Agreement) to the applicable Purchaser Agent on the last day of the then current Yield Period for such Rate Tranche based on information provided by such Purchaser Agent pursuant to Article II, or during the Liquidation Period or after the occurrence of an Event of Default that has not been waived in accordance with this Agreement, on such earlier date or dates as any such Purchaser Agent shall require on at least two (2) Business Days’ prior written notice to Servicer.

(ii)Servicer shall pay all amounts of Collections set aside and held in trust pursuant to clause (i) of Section 1.3(a) above and not applied pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 1.3(c) to the applicable Purchaser Agent on the Settlement Date for each Settlement Period, as provided in Section 3.1, or during the Liquidation Period or after the occurrence of an Event of Default that has not been waived in accordance with this Agreement, on such earlier date or dates as

755931971 16509877

any such Purchaser Agent shall require on at least two (2) Business Days’ prior written notice to Servicer.

(iii)Servicer shall pay all amounts set aside and held in trust pursuant to Section 1.3(b) above (and not otherwise applied pursuant to the last sentence of such Section) to the applicable Purchaser Agent for the account of the Affected Parties (A) on the last day of the then current Yield Period for any Rate Tranche not funded by the issuance of Commercial Paper Notes in an amount not exceeding each Committed Purchaser’s Tranche Investment of such Rate Tranche (based on information provided by the applicable Purchaser Agent pursuant to Article II), and (B) on the Settlement Date for each Settlement Period, as provided in Section 3.1, in an amount not exceeding each Conduit Purchaser’s Tranche Investment of the Rate Tranche funded by Commercial Paper Notes (based on information provided by the applicable Purchaser Agent pursuant to Article II), or, in the case of clause (A) or clause (B) above, during the Liquidation Period or after the occurrence of an Event of Default that has not been waived in accordance with this Agreement, on such earlier date or dates as any Purchaser Agent shall require on at least two (2) Business Days’ prior written notice to Servicer.

(d)Reduction of Total Investment. The Total Investment, any Purchaser Group’s Purchaser Group Committed Investment and any Purchaser Group’s Purchaser Group Uncommitted Investment, shall not be reduced by the amount of Collections set aside pursuant to this Section unless and until such Collections are actually received by the applicable Purchaser Agent for application hereunder to reduce the Total Investment, the applicable Purchaser Group’s Purchaser Group Committed Investment and the applicable Purchaser Group’s Purchaser Group Uncommitted Investment in accordance with the terms hereof.

ARTICLE II

COMPUTATIONAL RULES

SECTION 2.1 Selection of Rate Tranches. Subject to the requirements set forth in this Article II, each Purchaser Agent shall from time to time, only for purposes of computing Yield with respect to each Purchaser in its Purchaser Group, account for the Asset Interest in terms of one or more Rate Tranches, and the applicable Yield Rate may be different for each Rate Tranche. Each Purchaser Group’s Purchaser Group Investment shall be allocated to each Rate Tranche by the related Purchaser Agent to reflect the funding sources for each portion of the Asset Interest, so that:

(a)there will be one or more Rate Tranches, selected by each Purchaser Agent, reflecting the portion, if any, of the Asset Interest funded or maintained by its related Committed Purchaser other than through the issuance of Commercial Paper Notes (including by outstanding Liquidity Advances or by funding under an Enhancement Agreement); and

(b)there will be a Rate Tranche, selected by each Purchaser Agent, equal to the excess of such Purchaser Group’s aggregate Purchaser Group Investment over the aggregate amounts allocated at such time pursuant to clause (a) above, which Rate Tranche shall reflect the portion of the Asset Interest funded or maintained by Commercial Paper Notes.

755931971 16509877

SECTION 2.2 Computation of each Purchaser Group Investment and each Purchaser’s Tranche Investment. In making any determination of any Total Investment, any Purchaser Group’s Purchaser Group Investment and any Purchaser’s Tranche Investment, the following rules shall apply:

(a)each Purchaser Group’s Purchaser Group Investment shall not be considered reduced by any allocation, setting aside or distribution of any portion of Collections unless such Collections shall have been actually received by the applicable Purchaser Agent in accordance with the terms hereof;

(b)each Purchaser Group’s Purchaser Group Investment (or any other amounts payable under any Transaction Document) shall not be considered reduced (or paid) by any distribution of any portion of Collections or other payments, as applicable, if at any time such distribution or payment is rescinded or must otherwise be returned for any reason; and

(c)if there is any reduction in any Purchaser Group’s Purchaser Group Investment, there shall be a corresponding reduction (in the aggregate) in such Purchaser’s Tranche Investment with respect to one or more Rate Tranches selected by the related Purchaser Agent in its sole discretion (subject to Section 1.3(c)(iii)).

SECTION 2.3 Computation of Account Debtor Concentration Limit, Account Debtor Concentration Overage Amount, Concentration Overage Amount (Loans) and Unpaid Balance. In the case of any Account Debtor which is an Affiliate of any other Account Debtor, the Account Debtor Concentration Limit, the Account Debtor Concentration Overage Amount and the aggregate Unpaid Balance of Pool Receivables of such Account Debtors shall be calculated as if such Account Debtors were one Account Debtor. In the case of any Obligor which is an Affiliate of any other Obligor, the Concentration Overage Amount (Loans) and the aggregate Unpaid Balance of Pool Loans of such Obligors shall be calculated as if such Obligors were one Obligor.

SECTION 2.4 Computation of Yield. In making any determination of Yield, the following rules shall apply:

(a)each Purchaser Agent shall determine the Yield accruing with respect to each Rate Tranche for the Purchasers in its Purchaser Group, based on the Yield Period therefor determined in accordance with Section 2.1 and the other terms hereof (or, in the case of the Rate Tranche funded by Commercial Paper Notes, each Settlement Period), in accordance with the definition of Yield;

(b)no provision of this Agreement shall require the payment or permit the collection of Yield in excess of the maximum permitted by Applicable Law; and

(c)Yield for any Rate Tranche shall not be considered paid by any distribution or other payment if at any time such distribution or payment is rescinded or must otherwise be returned for any reason.

SECTION 2.5 Estimates of Yield Rate, Fees, Etc.

(a)It is understood and agreed that (a) the Yield Rate for any Rate Tranche may change from one applicable Yield Period or Settlement Period to the next, and the applicable Bank Rate, Base Rate or CP Rate used to calculate the applicable Yield Rate may, to the extent set forth in the definitions thereof contained in Appendix A, change from time to time and at any time during an applicable Yield Period or Settlement Period,

755931971 16509877

(b) any rate information provided by any Purchaser Agent to Seller or Servicer shall be based upon such Purchaser Agent’s good faith estimate, (c) the amount of Yield actually accrued with respect to a Rate Tranche during any Yield Period (or, in the case of the Rate Tranche funded by Commercial Paper Notes, any Settlement Period) may exceed, or be less than, the amount set aside with respect thereto by Servicer, and (d) the amount of fees and amounts provided for in Section 4.3 payable to any Affected Party accrued hereunder with respect to any Settlement Period may exceed, or be less than, the amount set aside with respect thereto by Servicer. Failure to set aside any amount so accrued shall not relieve Servicer of its obligation to remit Collections to the applicable Purchaser Agent or otherwise to any other Person with respect to such accrued amount, as and to the extent provided in Section 3.1.

(b)In connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR or Daily 1M SOFR, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Seller and the Purchaser Agents of the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR or Daily 1M SOFR.

SECTION 2.6 Rates. The Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to (a) the continuation of, administration of, submission of, calculation of or any other matter related to the Base Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR or Daily 1M SOFR, or any component definition thereof or rates referred to in the definition thereof, or any alternative, successor or replacement rate thereto (including any Benchmark Replacement), including whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, or have the same volume or liquidity as, the Base Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR, Daily 1M SOFR or any other Benchmark prior to its discontinuance or unavailability, or (b) the effect, implementation or composition of any Conforming Changes. The Administrative Agent and its affiliates or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of the Base Rate, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR, Daily 1M SOFR, any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Seller.

(b) Yield; Other Amounts Due. On or before the second (2nd) Business Day prior to the Reporting Date for each Settlement Period, each Purchaser Agent shall notify Servicer of (i) the amount of Yield accrued in respect of each related Rate Tranche for the Purchasers in its Purchaser Group during such Settlement Period and (ii) all fees and other amounts accrued and payable or to be paid by Seller under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents on the related Settlement Date (other than amounts described in clause (c) below) to such Purchaser Agent or any Purchaser in, or Affected Party related to, its Purchaser Group. Seller (or Servicer on its behalf), on the Settlement Date for such Settlement Period, or when otherwise required hereunder prior to each such date, shall pay such Yield and all fees and other amounts due in respect of such Settlement Period to the applicable Purchaser Agent or Affected Party out of amounts set aside pursuant to Section 1.3 for such purpose and, to the extent such amounts were not so set aside, Seller hereby agrees to pay such amounts (notwithstanding any limitation on recourse or other liability limitation contained herein to pay such amounts) to the applicable Purchaser Agent or Affected Party.

(i) Before each Reporting Date, Servicer shall compute, as of the most recent Cut-Off Date and based upon the assumption in the next sentence, (A) the Total Investment, the Purchaser Group Investment of each Purchaser Group, the Required Reserves, the Required Loan Reserves, the Required Receivable Reserves, the Loan Investment Base, the Receivables Investment Base, the Net Loan Pool Balance, the Net Receivables Pool Balance, the Net Pool Balance and each component of each of the foregoing, (B) the amount of the reduction or increase (if any) in each of the Required Reserves, the Required Receivable Reserves, the Required Loan Reserves, the Net Receivables Pool Balance, the Net

755931971 16509877

Loan Pool Balance, the Net Pool Balance, the Purchaser Group Investment of each Purchaser Group, the Loan Investment Base, the Receivables Investment Base and the Total Investment since the immediately preceding Cut-Off Date, (C) the excess (if any) of the aggregate Total Investment over the sum of the Receivables Investment Base and the Loan Investment Base, (D) the excess (if any) of the Total Committed Investment, over the Purchasers’ Total Commitment, (E) the excess (if any) of the Total Uncommitted Investment, over the Purchasers’ Total Uncommitted Amount, (F) the excess (if any) of the Purchaser Group Committed Investment of each Purchaser Group, over the Purchaser Group Commitment of each such Purchaser Group, (G) the excess (if any) of the Purchaser Group Uncommitted Investment of each Purchaser Group, over each such Purchaser Group’s Uncommitted Amount and (H) each of the components of any of the foregoing. Such calculations shall be based upon the assumption that Collections set aside pursuant to Section 1.3(b) (and not otherwise applied in accordance with such Section) will be paid to the applicable Purchaser Agent ratably (based on the related Purchaser Group Uncommitted Investment, Purchaser Group Committed Investment or Purchaser Group Investment, as applicable) for the benefit of the applicable Purchasers in its Purchaser Group on the Settlement Date for the Settlement Period related to such Reporting Date.

(ii) If, according to the computations made pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 3.1(c), the Total Investment at such time shall exceed the sum of the Receivables Investment Base and the Loan Investment Base, the Total Committed Investment at such time shall exceed the Purchasers’ Total Commitment, the Total Uncommitted Investment at such time shall exceed the Purchasers’ Total Uncommitted Amount, the Purchaser Group Committed Investment of any Purchaser Group shall exceed the Purchaser Group Commitment of such Purchaser Group or the Purchaser Group Uncommitted Investment of any Purchaser Group shall exceed any Purchaser Group’s Uncommitted Amount, Servicer shall, on behalf of Seller, (i) promptly notify Administrative Agent and each Purchaser Agent thereof and (ii) immediately pay to the applicable Purchaser Agents for the benefit of the applicable Purchasers the amount necessary to reduce (A) the Total Committed Investment to no more than the Purchasers’ Total Commitment, (B) the Total Uncommitted Investment to no more than the Purchasers’ Total Uncommitted Amount, (C) the aggregate Total Investment to no more than the sum of the Receivables Investment Base and the Loan Investment Base at such time, (D) the Purchaser Group Committed Investment of each Purchaser Group to no more than the Purchaser Group Commitment of each such Purchaser Group, (E) the Purchaser Group Uncommitted Investment of each Purchaser Group to no more than such Purchaser Group’s Uncommitted Amount, as applicable.

(iii) The payment described in clause (ii) of this Section 3.1(c) shall be made out of amounts set aside pursuant to Section 1.3 for such purpose and, to the extent such amounts were not so set aside, Seller hereby agrees to pay such amounts (notwithstanding any limitation on recourse or other liability limitation contained herein to pay such amounts) to Servicer during the relevant Settlement Period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above, on any date on or prior to the Final Payout Date, if the Total Investment exceeds the sum of the Loan Investment Base and the Receivables Investment Base at such time, Servicer shall immediately pay to each Purchaser Agent (ratably, based on the Purchaser Group Investment of such Purchaser Agent’s Purchaser Group at such time) an amount equal to such excess.

SECTION 3.2 Deemed Collections; Event of Repurchase; Reduction of Total Investment, Etc.

(a) Deemed Collections. If, on any day, the Unpaid Balance of a Pool Asset is reduced (but not cancelled) as a result of any Dilution, Seller shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection of such Pool Asset in the amount of such reduction. If, on any day, a Pool Asset is canceled (or reduced to zero) as a result of any Dilution, Seller shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection of such Pool Asset in the amount of the Unpaid Balance (as determined immediately prior to such Dilution) of such Pool Asset. If, on any day, the Unpaid Balance of a Pool Asset is less than the amount included in calculating the Net Pool Balance for purposes of any Information Package (for any reason other than such Pool Asset becoming a Defaulted Loan or Defaulted Receivable, as applicable, or due to the application of Collections received with respect to such Pool Asset), Seller shall be deemed to have received a Collection of such Pool Asset in the amount of such difference. Any amount deemed to have been received under this Section 3.2(a) shall constitute a “Deemed Collection”. In the event of any such Deemed Collection, Seller shall, if (i) the Liquidation Period has commenced, or (ii) the aggregate Total Investment at such time exceeds the sum of the Loan Investment Base and Receivables Investment Base at such time after giving effect to such Deemed Collection, deposit an amount equal to such Deemed Collection into the Concentration Account by no later than the fourth (4th) Business Day after Seller or Servicer obtains knowledge or notice thereof (or during the Liquidation Period, within two (2) Business Days from the event giving rise to such Deemed Collection) for application as provided in this Agreement.

(b) Repurchase Event. If any of the following events (each, an “Event of Repurchase”) occurs and is continuing with respect to a Pool Asset:

(i) any representation or warranty by Seller hereunder with respect to such Pool Asset is incorrect either (A) in any material respect or (B) in any manner that adversely affects the value or collectability of such Pool Asset, in each case, when made or deemed made;

(ii) Seller or Servicer fails to perform or observe any other term, covenant or agreement with respect to such Pool Asset set forth in any Transaction Document or any related Receivable Documentation or Loan Documents, as applicable, on its part to be performed or observed and such failure shall or could reasonably be expected to have an adverse effect on the ability to collect the Unpaid Balance of such Pool Asset on the due date thereof; or

(iii) either (A) Seller or Servicer instructs the related Account Debtor or Obligor to pay any amount with respect to such Pool Asset to an account other than a Lockbox, an Originator Specified Account, a Collection Account or the Concentration Account or (B) the related Account Debtor or Obligor refuses to make any payment to a Lockbox, an Originator Specified Account, a Collection Account or the Concentration Account (unless to the extent such refusal to pay is due to the financial or credit condition of such Account Debtor or Obligor (including the occurrence of an Insolvency Event with respect to such Account Debtor or Obligor)),

then, Seller shall immediately deliver notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and, at the time, in the manner and otherwise as hereinafter set forth, repurchase such Pool Asset at the Administrative Agent’s option and demand; provided, however, that if a “Sale Agreement Event of Repurchase” (as defined in the Sale Agreement) shall have occurred

755931971 16509877

under the Sale Agreement with respect to such Pool Asset, then such event shall also constitute an Event of Repurchase for purposes of this Agreement. The repurchase price for a Pool Asset shall be the amount equal to the Unpaid Balance of such Pool Asset at such time and shall be paid to the Concentration Account in immediately available funds by no later than the second (2nd) Business Day following demand therefor by the Administrative Agent. Upon the payment in full of the repurchase price with respect to a Pool Asset, such Pool Asset shall hereby be, and be deemed to be, repurchased by Seller from the applicable Purchasers without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser but free and clear of any lien, encumbrance or other Adverse Claim created by or through the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser. Except as specifically set forth in this clause (b), the Seller shall not have any right or obligation to repurchase Pool Assets.

(c) Seller’s Optional Reduction of Total Investment. Subject to Sections 1.2(a) and 4.3, Seller may at any time and from time to time elect to reduce (in whole or in part) Total Investment as follows:

(i) Seller shall give Administrative Agent and each Purchaser Agent a Notice of Payment with respect to such elected reduction (including the amount of such proposed reduction and the proposed date on which such reduction will commence) no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed reduction date;

(ii) on the proposed date of commencement of such reduction and on each day thereafter, Servicer shall refrain from reinvesting Collections pursuant to Section 1.3 until the amount thereof not so reinvested shall equal the desired amount of reduction; and

(iii) Servicer shall hold such Collections in trust for Purchasers, pending payment to the applicable Purchaser Agents, as provided in Section 1.3; provided that

(A) the amount of any such reduction shall be not less than $5,000,000 and shall be an integral multiple of $100,000; and

(B) Seller shall use reasonable efforts to choose a reduction amount, and the date of commencement thereof, so that such reduction shall commence and conclude in the same Settlement Period.

(d) No Further Reinvestments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein (including Section 3.1), after giving effect to any reduction of the Total Investment under Section 3.2(c), or otherwise, which reduces the Total Investment to zero, so long as there are no outstanding amounts constituting liabilities or other obligations of Seller, any Originator, Servicer or Performance Guarantor hereunder or under any other Transaction Document owing to any Purchaser, any Purchaser Agent, Administrative Agent, any Indemnified Party or any Affected Party, no further Reinvestments shall be made unless and until a new Purchase is made in accordance with Sections 1.1 and 1.2.

(e) Seller’s Optional Reduction of Purchaser’s Total Commitment. Seller may at any time and from time to time elect to reduce the unused portion of the Purchaser’s Total Commitment by giving the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser Agent a Notice of Payment with respect to such elected reduction (including the amount of such proposed reduction and the proposed date on which such reduction will

755931971 16509877

commence) no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) 30 days prior to the proposed reduction date; provided that the amount of any such reduction shall be not less than $5,000,000 and shall be an integral multiple of $100,000. Any such reduction shall be applied pro rata to the Commitment of each Committed Purchaser.

SECTION 3.3 Payments and Computations, Etc.

(a) Payments. All amounts to be paid to, or deposited by Seller, Servicer, CHS or Performance Guarantor with, Administrative Agent, any Purchaser Agent or any other Person hereunder (other than amounts payable under Section 4.2) shall be paid or deposited in accordance with the terms hereof no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the day when due in USD in same day funds to the applicable account set forth on Schedule I or to such other account as Administrative Agent or any Purchaser Agent, as applicable, shall designate in writing to Servicer from time to time.

(b) Late Payments. Seller or Servicer, as applicable, shall, out of amounts set aside pursuant to Section 1.3 for such purpose and to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, pay to the applicable Purchaser Agent, for the benefit of the applicable Affected Party, interest on all amounts not paid or deposited by such party on the date when due hereunder at an annual rate equal to 2.0% above the Base Rate, payable on demand; provided that such interest rate shall not at any time exceed the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law.

(c) Method of Computation. All computations of interest, Yield, any fees payable under Section 4.1 and any other fees payable by Seller to any Purchaser, any Purchaser Agent, Administrative Agent or any other Affected Party in connection with Purchases hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) elapsed (except that calculations with respect to the Prime Rate shall be on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be).

(d) Payment of Currency and Setoff. All payments by Seller or Servicer to any Affected Party or any other Person shall be made in USD and without set-off or counterclaim. Any of Seller’s or Servicer’s obligations hereunder shall not be satisfied by any tender or recovery of another currency except to the extent such tender or recovery results in receipt of the full amount of USD.

(e) Taxes. (i) Except to the extent required by Applicable Law, any and all payments and deposits required to be made hereunder, under any other Transaction Document or under any instrument delivered hereunder or thereunder to any Affected Party or otherwise hereunder or thereunder by Seller or Servicer shall be made free and clear of, and without withholding or deduction for, any and all present or future Taxes. If Seller or Servicer shall be required by Applicable Law to make any such withholding or deduction, (A) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, Seller (or Servicer, on its behalf) shall make an additional payment to such Affected Party, in an amount sufficient so that, after making all required withholdings or deductions (including withholdings or deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.3(e)), such Affected Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholdings or deductions been made, (B) Seller (or Servicer, on its behalf) shall make such deductions and (C) Seller (or Servicer, on its behalf) shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.

755931971 16509877

(ii) Seller will indemnify each Affected Party for the full amount of (A) Indemnified Taxes (including any Indemnified Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section paid by such Affected Party, as the case may be, and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) paid or payable by such Affected Party arising therefrom or with respect thereto) and (B) Taxes that arise because a Purchase or the Asset Interest is not treated for U.S. federal, state or local income or franchise tax purposes as intended under Section 1.2(e) (such indemnification will include any U.S. federal, state or local income and franchise taxes necessary to make such Affected Party whole on an after-tax basis taking into account the taxability of receipt of payments under the this clause (B) and any reasonable expenses (other than Taxes) arising out of, relating to, or resulting from the foregoing). Any indemnification under this Section 3.3(e)(ii) shall be paid on the next Settlement Date (or during the Liquidation Period or after the occurrence of an Event of Default that has not been waived in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, within two (2) Business Days) after the date any Affected Party makes written demand therefor, together with a statement of reasons for such demand and the calculations of such amount. Such calculations, absent manifest error, shall be final and conclusive on all parties.

(iii) Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes withheld by any of Seller or Servicer, as applicable, in respect of any payment to any Affected Party, Seller or Servicer, as applicable, will furnish to Administrative Agent and each Purchaser Agent, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof (or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent).

(iv) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement contained herein, the agreements and obligations contained in this Section shall survive the payment in full of Obligations hereunder.

(v) Any Affected Party that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Transaction Document shall deliver to CHS and Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by CHS or Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by CHS or Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Affected Party, if reasonably requested by CHS or Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by CHS or Administrative Agent as will enable CHS or Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Affected Party is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.

(vi) Any Affected Party that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “U.S. Person”) shall deliver to CHS and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Affected Party becomes a Affected Party under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of CHS or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Affected Party is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax.

(vii) Any Affected Party that is not a U.S. Person (a “Foreign Affected Party”) shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to CHS and the

755931971 16509877

Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Affected Party becomes an Affected Party under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of CHS or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

Seller shall immediately deliver to Servicer all Deemed Collections and Repurchase Payments, and Servicer shall hold or distribute such Deemed Collections and Repurchase Payments as Yield, accrued Servicing Fee, repayment of Total Investment or as otherwise applicable hereunder to the same extent as if such Collections had actually been received on the date of such delivery to Servicer.

Seller shall promptly enforce all obligations of Originators under the Sale Agreement, including, payment of Deemed Collections (as defined in the Sale Agreement).

SECTION 3.5 Erroneous Payments.

(a) If the Administrative Agent notifies a Purchaser, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Purchaser (such Purchaser or other recipient, a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under the immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Purchaser or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and such Purchaser shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to), promptly, but in no event later than two (2) Business Days thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent 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 Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(b) Without limiting the immediately preceding clause (a), each Purchaser or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Purchaser, hereby further agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, repayment or prepayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of

755931971 16509877

payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Purchaser or such other recipient otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) in each case:

(i) (A) in the case of the immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Administrative Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and

(ii) such Purchaser shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one (1) Business Day of its knowledge of such error) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 3.5.

(c) Each Purchaser hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Purchaser under any Transaction Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Purchaser from any source, against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under the immediately preceding clause (a) or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.

(d) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the immediately preceding clause (a), from any Purchaser that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Administrative Agent’s notice to such Purchaser at any time, (i) such Purchaser shall be deemed to have assigned its portion of the related Purchaser Group Investment (but not its Commitments) (the “Subject Investment”) with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Investment”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Subject Investment (but not the Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Investment, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Administrative Agent in such instance), and is hereby (together with Seller) deemed to execute and deliver an assignment agreement with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (ii) the Administrative Agent as the assignee Purchaser shall be deemed to acquire the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (iii) upon such deemed acquisition, the Administrative Agent as the assignee Purchaser shall become a Purchaser hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Purchaser shall cease to be a Purchaser hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Purchaser, and (iv) the Administrative Agent may cause to be reflected in the Register its ownership interest in the Subject Investment. The Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Subject Investment acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Purchaser shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Subject Investment (or portion thereof), and the

755931971 16509877

Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Purchaser (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its behalf). For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Purchaser and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In addition, each party hereto agrees that, except to the extent that the Administrative Agent has sold a Subject Investment (or portion thereof) acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, the Administrative Agent shall be contractually subrogated to all the rights and interests of the applicable Purchaser under the Transaction Documents with respect to each Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”).

(e) The parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by Seller, CHS or CHS Capital, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from Seller, CHS or CHS Capital or Collections of any Receivable or Loan for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.

(f) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including, without limitation, waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.

(g) Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 3.5 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Purchaser, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Transaction Document.

participation in any of the foregoing) or any other amounts due under this Agreement in respect of the Asset Interest owned, maintained or funded by it or its obligations or rights, if any, to make or participate in Purchases or Reinvestments or to provide funding therefor or the maintenance thereof;

(ii) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of any Affected Party, deposits or obligations with or for the account of any Affected Party or with or for the account of any Affiliate (or entity deemed by the Federal Reserve Board or other Governmental Authority to be an affiliate) of any Affected Party, or credit extended by any Affected Party;

(iii) shall impose any other condition affecting any Asset Interest owned, maintained or funded (or participated in) in whole or in part by any Affected Party, or its obligations or rights, if any, to make (or participate in) Purchases or Reinvestments or to provide (or to participate in) funding therefor or the maintenance thereof;

and the result of any of the foregoing is or would be, in each case, as determined by the applicable Purchaser Agent or the applicable Affected Party:

(A) to increase the cost to (or impose a cost on) (1) an Affected Party funding or making or maintaining any Purchases or Reinvestments, any purchases, reinvestments, or loans or other extensions of credit under any Liquidity Agreement, any Enhancement Agreement or any commitment (hereunder or under any Liquidity Agreement or any Enhancement Agreement) of such Affected Party with respect to any of the foregoing, or (2) any Purchaser Agent or Administrative Agent for continuing its relationship with any Purchaser;

(B) to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by an Affected Party under this Agreement, any Liquidity Agreement or any Enhancement Agreement (or its participation in any such Liquidity Agreement or Enhancement Agreement) with respect thereto; or

(C) (i) to reduce the rate of return on the capital of such Affected Party as a consequence of its obligations hereunder, under any Liquidity Agreement or under any Enhancement Agreement (or its participation in any such Liquidity Agreement or Enhancement Agreement), including its funding or maintenance of any portion of the Asset Interest, or arising in connection herewith (or therewith) to a level below that which such Affected Party could otherwise have achieved hereunder or thereunder or (ii) to increase the liquidity required of such Affected Party as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or under any Liquidity Agreement or any Enhancement Agreement (or its participation in any such Liquidity Agreement or Enhancement Agreement), including

755931971 16509877

its funding or maintenance of any portion of the Asset Interest, or arising in connection herewith (or therewith) to a level greater than that which such Affected Party could otherwise have achieved hereunder or thereunder,

then, subject to Section 4.2(d) below, on the Settlement Date (or during the Liquidation Period or after the occurrence of an Event of Default that has not been waived in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, within two (2) Business Days) following its receipt of notice from such Affected Party (or by the Administrative Agent or a Purchaser Agent on its behalf) in accordance with Section 4.2(c) below, Seller shall pay directly to such Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Party for such additional or increased cost or such reduction or liquidity increase; provided that such additional amount or amounts shall not be payable with respect to any Regulatory Change for any period in excess of 180 days prior to the date of demand by the Affected Party unless (1) the effect of such Regulatory Change was retroactive by its terms to a period prior to the date of such Regulatory Change, in which case any additional amount or amounts shall be payable for the retroactive period but only if the Affected Party provides its written demand not later than 180 days after such Regulatory Change; or (2) the Affected Party reasonably and in good faith did not believe such Regulatory Change resulted in such an additional or increased cost or charge or such a reduction during such prior period.

(b) Each Affected Party (or the Administrative Agent or a Purchaser Agent on its behalf), shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Seller and Administrative Agent of any event of which it has knowledge which will entitle such Affected Party to compensation pursuant to this Section 4.2; provided that no failure to give or delay in giving such notification shall adversely affect the rights of any Affected Party to such compensation.

(c) In determining any amount provided for or referred to in this Section 4.2, an Affected Party may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods that it, in its reasonable discretion, shall deem applicable. Any Affected Party (or the Administrative Agent or a Purchaser Agent on its behalf) when making a claim under this Section 4.2 shall submit to Seller and Administrative Agent a written statement of such increased cost or reduced return, which statement, in the absence of manifest error, shall be conclusive and binding upon Seller.

(d) Except as set forth above in this Section 4.2, failure or delay on the part of any Affected Party (or Administrative Agent or a Purchaser Agent) to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall not constitute a waiver of such Affected Party’s (or the Administrative Agent’s or a Purchaser Agent’s on its behalf) right to demand such compensation.

SECTION 4.3 Funding Losses. If any Affected Party incurs any cost, loss or expense (including any loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Affected Party), at any time, as a result of (a) any optional or required settlement or repayment with respect to such Purchaser’s Tranche Investment of any Rate Tranche, howsoever funded, being made on any day other than the scheduled last day of an applicable Yield Period with respect thereto, (b) any Purchase not being completed by Seller in accordance with its request therefor under Section 1.2, (c) the failure to exercise or complete (in accordance with Section 3.2(c)) any reduction in Total Investment elected to be made under Section 3.2(c), (d) any reduction in Total Investment elected under Section 3.2(c) exceeding the total amount of Rate Tranches, howsoever funded, with respect to which the last day of the related Yield Period is the date of such reduction or (e) any other mandatory or voluntary reduction in Total Investment (each, a “Loss Event”), then, upon written

755931971 16509877

notice from such Affected Party (or the Administrative Agent or a Purchaser Agent on its behalf) to Seller and Servicer, Seller shall pay to the applicable Purchaser Agent for the account of the applicable Affected Parties, on the next Settlement Date (or during the Liquidation Period, after the occurrence of an Event of Default that has not been waived in accordance with this Agreement, within two (2) Business Days from the receipt of such notice) the amount of such cost, loss or expense. Such written notice shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding upon Seller. If an Affected Party incurs any cost, loss or expense (including any loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Affected Party), at any time, and is not entitled to reimbursement for such loss or expense in the manner set forth above, such Affected Party shall individually bear such loss or expense without recourse to, or payment from, any other Affected Party; provided that such additional amount or amounts shall not be payable with respect to any Loss Event for any period in excess of 180 days prior to the date of demand by the Affected Party unless the Affected Party reasonably and in good faith did not believe such Loss Event resulted in such a loss during such prior period.

(a) Each Affected Party (or the Administrative Agent or a Purchaser Agent on its behalf), shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Seller and Administrative Agent of any event of which it has knowledge which will entitle such Affected Party to compensation pursuant to this Section 4.3; provided that no failure to give or delay in giving such notification shall adversely affect the rights of any Affected Party to such compensation.

(b) In determining any amount provided for or referred to in this Section 4.3, an Affected Party may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods that it, in its reasonable discretion, shall deem applicable. Any Affected Party (or the Administrative Agent or a Purchaser Agent on its behalf) when making a claim under this Section 4.3 shall submit to Seller and Administrative Agent a written statement of such increased cost or reduced return, which statement, in the absence of manifest error, shall be conclusive and binding upon Seller.

(c) Except as set forth above in this Section 4.3, failure or delay on the part of any Affected Party (or Administrative Agent or a Purchaser Agent on its behalf) to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 4.3 shall not constitute a waiver of such Affected Party’s (or the Administrative Agent’s or a Purchaser Agent’s on its behalf) right to demand such compensation.

SECTION 4.4 Benchmark Replacement Setting.

(a) Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, the Administrative Agent and the Seller may amend this Agreement to replace the then-current Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all affected Purchasers and the Seller so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Committed Purchasers comprising the Required Purchasers. No replacement of a Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section 4.4(a) will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.

(b) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time

755931971 16509877

and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

(c) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Seller and the Purchasers of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (ii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Seller of the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 4.4(d). Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Purchaser (or group of Purchasers) pursuant to this Section 4.4, 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 4.4.

(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 the Term SOFR Reference Rate) 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 Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the administrator of such Benchmark or 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 not or will not be representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Yield Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable, non-representative, non-compliant or non-aligned 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 not or will not be representative or in compliance with or aligned with the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) Principles for Financial Benchmarks for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Yield Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) 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, none of the Purchasers or Purchaser Agents shall allocate any Rate Tranche with respect to Purchases made during such period or reallocate any Rate Tranches allocated to any then existing Yield Period ending during such period, to a Rate Tranche for which Yield is calculated by reference to Term SOFR or Daily 1M SOFR, as applicable. During a Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of the Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of the Base Rate.

755931971 16509877

SECTION 4.5 Illegality. If any Purchaser determines that any Applicable Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Purchaser or its applicable lending office to make, maintain or fund Purchases or Rate Tranches whose interest is determined by reference to SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR or Daily 1M SOFR, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR or Daily 1M SOFR, then, upon notice thereof by such Purchaser to the Seller (through the Administrative Agent), (a) any obligation of the Purchasers to allocate Rate Tranches for Purchases or the Total Investment for which the Yield Rate is Term SOFR or Daily 1M SOFR, as applicable, shall be suspended, and (b) the interest rate on which Rate Tranches for which the Yield Rate is the Base Rate shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate”, in each case until such Purchaser notifies the Administrative Agent and the Seller that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) all Rate Tranches for which the Yield Rate is Term SOFR or Daily 1M SOFR, as applicable, shall automatically be re-allocated to a Rate Tranche for which the Yield Rate is the Base Rate (the interest rate on which Rate Tranche of such Purchaser shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate”), on the last day of the Yield Period therefor (in the case of a Rate Tranche for which the Yield Rate is Term SOFR), if all affected Purchasers may lawfully continue to maintain such Rate Tranche for which the Yield Rate is Term SOFR to such day, or immediately, in the case of any Rate Tranche for which the Yield Rate is Daily 1M SOFR or, in the case of any Rate Tranche for which the Yield Rate is Term SOFR, if any Purchaser may not lawfully continue to maintain such Rate Tranche to such day, and (ii) if necessary to avoid such illegality, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate,” in each case until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by each affected Purchaser that it is no longer illegal for such Purchaser to determine or charge interest rates based upon SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Term SOFR or Daily 1M SOFR.

SECTION 4.6 Inability to Determine Rates. Subject to Section 4.4, if (x) on or prior to the first day of any Yield Period for any Rate Tranche with a Yield Rate that is Term SOFR or (y) on any date for any Rate Tranche with a Yield Rate that is Daily 1M SOFR:

(a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Term SOFR” or “Daily 1M SOFR” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof,

(b) the Required Purchasers (calculated without giving effect to the Commitment of the PNC Purchaser Group) determine that for any reason that Term SOFR for any requested Yield Period does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Purchasers of funding such Purchaser’s Total Investment, and the Required Purchasers have provided notice of such determination to the Administrative Agent; or

(c) the Purchaser Agent for the PNC Purchaser Group determines that for any reason that Daily 1M SOFR for any day in any Yield Period does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the PNC Purchaser Group of funding such Purchaser Group’s Purchaser Group Investment, and the Purchaser Agent for the PNC Purchaser Group has provided notice of such determination to the Administrative Agent,

the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Seller and each Purchaser.

Upon notice thereof by the Administrative Agent to the Seller, any obligation of the Purchasers to allocate Rate Tranches for Purchases or Total Investment for which the Yield Rate is Term SOFR or Daily 1M SOFR, as applicable, shall be suspended until the

755931971 16509877

Administrative Agent (with respect to clause (b), at the instruction of the Required Purchasers) revokes such notice or the Administrative Agent (with respect to clause (c), at the instruction of the Purchaser Agent for the PNC Purchaser Group) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, any Rate Tranche for any Purchase or Total Investment for which the Yield Rate is Term SOFR or Daily 1M SOFR, as applicable, shall be automatically be converted into a Rate Tranche for which the Yield Rate is the Base Rate at the end of the applicable Yield Period. Subject to Section 4.4, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “Term SOFR” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof on any given day, the Yield Rate for any Rate Tranche that is the Base Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate” until the Administrative Agent revokes such determination.

ADMINISTRATION AND COLLECTION

SECTION 8.1 Designation of Servicer.

(a)CHS as Initial Servicer. The servicing, administering and collection of the Pool Assets on behalf of Seller, Administrative Agent, Purchaser Agents and Purchasers shall be conducted by the Person designated as Servicer hereunder (“Servicer”) from time to time in accordance with this Section 8.1. Until Administrative Agent (with the consent, or acting at the direction of, the Required Purchasers) gives to CHS a Successor Notice (as defined in Section 8.1(b)), CHS is hereby designated as, and hereby agrees to perform the duties and obligations of, Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof. Servicer shall receive the Servicing Fee, payable as described in Article III, for the performance of its duties hereunder.

(b)Successor Notice. In the event that a Servicer Termination Event has occurred and has not been waived in accordance with this Agreement, Administrative Agent (with the consent of, or at the direction of, the Required Purchasers) shall have the right, upon not less than five (5) Business Days’ notice to CHS and Seller, to designate a successor Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof (a “Successor Notice”). Upon effectiveness of a Successor Notice, CHS agrees that it shall terminate its activities as Servicer hereunder in a manner that Administrative Agent reasonably believes will facilitate the transition of the performance of such activities to the successor Servicer, and such successor Servicer shall assume each and all of CHS’s obligations to service and administer the Pool Assets, on the terms and subject to the conditions herein set forth, and CHS shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist such successor Servicer in assuming such obligations.

(c)Subservicers; Subcontracts. Servicer may not subcontract with any Person that is not an Affiliate of Servicer (excluding Seller) or otherwise delegate any of its duties or obligations hereunder except with the prior written consent of Administrative Agent and each Purchaser Agent; provided that, notwithstanding any such designation, delegation or subcontract, Servicer shall remain primarily and directly liable for the performance of all the duties and obligations of Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that Servicer may so subcontract with CHS Capital subject to the proviso in the previous sentence.

SECTION 8.2 Duties of Servicer. Seller, each Purchaser, each Purchaser Agent and Administrative Agent hereby appoints as its agent Servicer, as from time to time designated pursuant to Section 8.1, to enforce its rights and interests in and under the Pool Assets and the other Seller Assets. Servicer shall take or cause to be taken all necessary and appropriate commercial servicing and collection activities in arranging the timely payment of amounts due and owing by any Account Debtor or Obligor (including the identification of the proceeds of the Pool Assets and related record keeping) all in accordance with Applicable Laws, with reasonable care and diligence, including diligently and faithfully performing all servicing and collection actions. In connection with its administration, collection and servicing obligations, Servicer will perform its duties under the Receivable Documentation related to the Pool Receivables and the

755931971 16509877

Loan Documents related to the Pool Loans with the same care and applying the same policies as it applies to its own assets generally and would exercise and apply if it owned the Pool Assets and shall act in the best interest of the Affected Parties to maximize Collections.

(a)Allocation of Collections; Segregation. Servicer shall set aside and hold in trust Collections of Pool Assets in accordance with Section 1.3. Servicer acknowledges and agrees that the Pool Assets have been sold and assigned to the Seller pursuant to the Sale Agreement and no portion of the Collections with respect thereto held by the Servicer prior to depositing into a Collection Account, an Originator Specified Account or the Concentration Account shall constitute property of the Servicer.

(b)Documents and Records. Other than the Custodian File held by the Custodian in accordance with the Custodian Agreement, Seller shall deliver to Servicer, and Servicer shall hold in trust for Seller, Administrative Agent, each Purchaser Agent, each Purchaser and each other Affected Party in accordance with their respective interests, all Records (and all original documents relating thereto) (and after the occurrence of any Event of Default, shall deliver the same to Administrative Agent promptly upon Administrative Agent’s written request). Upon written request of Administrative Agent or any Purchaser Agent, Servicer shall promptly provide (or cause Custodian to provide) Administrative Agent and the Purchaser Agents with the location(s) of all Records (and all original documents relating thereto).

(c)Certain Duties of Servicer and Seller. Servicer shall, promptly following receipt of the collections of any Asset that is not a Pool Asset, a Related Asset or any other property included in the grant set forth in Section 9.1, turn over such collection to the Person entitled to such collection.

(d)Termination. Servicer’s obligations as such under this Agreement shall terminate upon the Final Payout Date.

(e)Power of Attorney. Seller hereby appoints Servicer as the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of Seller, with full power of substitution, coupled with an interest, and hereby authorizes and empowers Servicer to take in Seller’s name and on behalf of Seller any and all steps necessary or desirable, in the reasonable determination of Servicer, to collect all amounts due under any and all Pool Assets, including to make demands for any portion of Pool Assets remaining outstanding past its applicable due date, commence enforcement proceedings, exercise other powers under the Receivable Documentation and Loan Documents, endorse Seller’s name on checks and other instruments representing Collections, enforce Pool Receivables and the related Receivable Documentation, enforce Pool Loans and the related Loan Documents and take such other action and execute such other agreements, instruments and other documents in the name of Seller, to the extent necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes hereof. Seller hereby appoints the Administrative Agent as the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of Seller, with full power of substitution, coupled with an interest, and hereby authorizes and empowers the Administrative Agent in the name and on behalf of Seller at any time following removal of CHS as Servicer pursuant to this Agreement or at any time following the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event that has not been waived in accordance with this Agreement, to take such actions, and execute and deliver such documents, as the Administrative Agent deems necessary or advisable in connection with any Pool Assets (i) to obtain the full benefits of the Transaction Documents and the Pool Assets, (ii) to perfect each of the ownership and/or security interests in the Pool Assets and the other Seller Assets under the Transaction Documents, including to send a notice of each purchase, sale and pledge of the Pool Assets under the Transaction Documents to the applicable Account Debtor or Obligor, (iii) to communicate directly with the

755931971 16509877

applicable Account Debtor or Obligor to collect any portion of a Pool Asset that remains outstanding past its applicable due date, (iv) to notify and require (x) Account Debtors to remit the proceeds of Pool Receivables directly to a Lockbox, an Originator Specified Account, a Collection Account or the Concentration Account and (y) Obligors to remit the proceeds of Pool Loans directly to a Seller Collection Account or the Concentration Account or (v) to make collection of and otherwise realize the benefits of any Pool Asset. At any time that CHS is no longer serving as Servicer hereunder or at any time following the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event that has not been waived in accordance with this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to bring suit, in the Administrative Agent’s or Seller’s name, and generally have all other rights of an owner and holder respecting any Pool Assets, including the right to accelerate or extend the time of payment, settle, compromise, release in whole or in part any amounts owing on any Pool Assets and issue credits in its own name or the name of Seller. At any time following removal of CHS as Servicer or at any time following the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event that has not been waived in accordance with this Agreement, the Administrative Agent may endorse or sign the Administrative Agent’s or Seller’s name on any checks or other instruments with respect to any Pool Assets or the goods covered thereby. This power of attorney, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable and shall not expire until the Final Payout Date.

(f)Resignation of CHS as Servicer. CHS shall not resign in its capacity as Servicer hereunder without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent and each Purchaser Agent, which consent shall be given or withheld in the sole and absolute discretion of Administrative Agent and each Purchaser Agent.

SECTION 8.3 Rights of Administrative Agent. In addition to all of its other rights herein including under Articles IX and X, under the other Transaction Documents or at law or in equity, Administrative Agent shall have the other following rights set forth in this Section 8.3:

(a)Notice to Account Debtors and Obligors. At any time after the occurrence of any Event of Default, Servicer shall (on behalf of Seller), at Administrative Agent’s or any Purchaser Agent’s request and at Seller’s expense, give notice of Administrative Agent’s ownership and security interest in the Pool Assets to each applicable Account Debtor or Obligor and instruct them that payments on the Pool Assets will only be effective if made to, or as otherwise instructed in writing by, Administrative Agent.

(b)[Reserved].

(c)Other Rights. At any time after (i) the occurrence of an Event of Default that has not been waived in accordance with this Agreement or (ii) the commencement of the Liquidation Period, Servicer shall (on behalf of Seller), (A) at Administrative Agent’s request and at Seller’s expense, assemble all of the Records (other than the Custodian File held by the Custodian pursuant to the Custodian Agreement) and deliver such Records to or at the direction of Administrative Agent and (B) at the request of Administrative Agent or its designee, exercise or enforce any of their respective rights hereunder, under any other Transaction Document, under any Pool Asset or under any other Seller Assets (to the extent permitted hereunder or thereunder). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of Servicer and Seller shall upon the request of Administrative Agent or its designee and at Seller’s expense:

(I) authorize, execute (if required) and file such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto or assignments thereof, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or appropriate;

(d)Additional Financing Statements; Performance by Administrative Agent. Seller hereby authorizes Administrative Agent or its designee to file one or more financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto and assignments thereof, or any similar instruments in any relevant jurisdiction relative to all or any of the Pool Assets and the other Seller Assets now existing or hereafter arising in the name of Seller. Seller agrees that an “all assets” or similar filing against it may be filed for the purposes hereof and to perfect the security interest and transfers created hereby. If Seller fails to perform any of its agreements or obligations under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, Administrative Agent or its designee may (but shall not be required to) itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement or obligation, and the expenses of Administrative Agent or its designee incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by Seller as provided in Section 13.6.

SECTION 8.4 Responsibilities of Servicer. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding:

(a)Contracts. Servicer shall, in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy, Applicable Law and the terms of this Agreement, perform all of its obligations under the Records, so long as it is an Affiliate of Seller, to the same extent as if the Asset Interest had not been sold hereunder and the exercise by Administrative Agent or its designee of its rights hereunder shall not relieve Servicer from such obligations.

(b)Limitation of Liability. None of Administrative Agent, any Purchaser or any Purchaser Agent shall have any obligation or liability with respect to any Pool Asset or Related Assets related thereto, nor shall any of them be obligated to perform any of the obligations of Servicer or Seller thereunder.

SECTION 8.5 Further Action Evidencing Purchases and Reinvestments. Seller agrees that from time to time, at its expense, it shall (or cause Servicer to) promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further actions, that Administrative Agent or its designee may reasonably request or that are necessary in order to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the transactions contemplated by the other Transaction Documents, the Purchases hereunder and the resulting Asset Interest.

SECTION 8.6 Application of Collections. The Servicer shall be responsible for promptly identifying, matching, applying and reconciling any payments received in the Collection Accounts or Originator Specified Accounts with the Asset associated with such payment.

SECTION 8.7 Funds and Documents to be held in Trust. Whenever this Agreement or any other Transaction Document requires the Seller or the Servicer to hold funds or documents in trust for the Administrative Agent, it is understood and agreed that CHS, Seller or Servicer is not required to establish trust accounts or arrangements with independent trustees, custodians or third parties, but may hold such funds for the Administrative Agent in Originator

755931971 16509877

Collection Accounts which may be commingled with other deposit accounts maintained by CHS, Seller or Servicer, and may hold such documents for safekeeping for the Administrative Agent in such manner as CHS, Seller of Servicer holds its own documents in safekeeping; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, (x) Seller, CHS and the Servicer shall not be permitted to deposit any funds in a Seller Collection Account or the Concentration Account other than Collections and proceeds thereof and (y) neither the Seller Collection Accounts nor the Concentration Account may be commingled with any other deposit accounts.

ARTICLE IX

To the fullest extent it may lawfully so agree, Xxxxxx agrees that it will not at any time insist upon, claim, plead, or take any benefit or advantage of any appraisal, valuation, stay, extension, moratorium, redemption or similar law now or hereafter in force in order to prevent, delay, or hinder the enforcement hereof or the absolute sale of any part of the Seller Assets; Seller for itself and all who claim through it, so far as it or they now or hereafter lawfully may do so, hereby waives the benefit of all such laws and all right to have the Seller Assets marshalled upon any foreclosure hereof, and agrees that any court having jurisdiction to foreclose this Agreement may order the sale of the Seller Assets in its entirety. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller hereby waives and releases any and all right to require Administrative Agent to collect any of such obligations from any specific item or items of the Seller Assets or from any other party liable as guarantor or in any other manner in respect of any of such obligations or from any collateral (including the Seller Assets) for any of such obligations.

(V) bid for and acquire, unless prohibited by Applicable Law, free from any redemption right, the Seller Assets or any part thereof, and, if the Affected Parties are then the holders of any Obligations or any participation or other interest therein, in lieu of paying cash therefor, Administrative Agent on behalf of the Affected Parties may make settlement for the selling price by crediting the net selling price, if any, after deducting all costs and expenses of every kind, upon the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations, in such order and manner as Administrative Agent on behalf of the Affected Parties, in its discretion, may deem advisable and as permissible and required under the Transaction Documents. Administrative Agent for the benefit of Affected Parties, upon so acquiring the Seller Assets or any part thereof shall be entitled to hold or

755931971 16509877

otherwise deal with or dispose of the same in any manner not prohibited by Applicable Law; or

(VI) enforce any other remedy available to Administrative Agent on behalf of the Affected Parties at law or in equity.

From time to time Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, postpone the time and change the place of any proposed disposition of any of the Seller Assets for which notice has been given as provided above and may retain the Seller Assets until such time as the proposed disposition occurs if, in the sole discretion of Administrative Agent, such postponement or change is necessary or appropriate in order that the provisions of this Agreement applicable to such disposition may be fulfilled or in order to obtain more favorable conditions under which such disposition may take place. Seller and CHS each acknowledges and agrees that private dispositions may be made at prices and upon other terms less favorable than might have been attained if the Seller Assets were disposed of at public disposition. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any disposition of the Seller Assets or any part thereof notwithstanding any prior notice of a proposed disposition. No demand, advertisement or notice, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Seller and CHS to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, shall be required in connection with any disposition of the Seller Assets or any part thereof, except for the notice described in this clause (iii).

In case of any disposition by Administrative Agent of any of the Seller Assets on credit, which may be elected at the option and in the complete discretion of Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Affected Parties, the Seller Assets so disposed may be retained by Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Affected Parties until the disposition price is paid by the purchaser, but neither Administrative Agent nor the Affected Parties shall incur any liability in case of failure of the purchaser to take up and pay for the Seller Assets so disposed. In case of any such failure, such Seller Assets so disposed may be again disposed.

After deducting all costs or expenses of every kind (including the attorneys’ fees and legal expenses incurred by Administrative Agent or the Affected Parties, or both), Administrative Agent shall apply the residue of the proceeds of any disposition or dispositions, if any, to pay the principal of and interest upon the Obligations in such order and manner as Administrative Agent in its discretion may deem advisable and as permissible and required under the Transaction Documents. The excess, if any, shall be paid to Seller in accordance with the Transaction Documents. Neither Administrative Agent nor the Affected Parties shall incur any liability as a result of the dispositions of the Seller Assets at any private or public disposition that complies with the provisions of this Section 10.2(d).

Notwithstanding a foreclosure upon any of the Seller Assets or exercise of any other remedy by Administrative Agent on behalf of the Affected Parties in connection with the Purchase Termination Date pursuant to Section 10.2, neither Seller nor CHS shall be subrogated thereby to any rights of Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Affected Parties against the Seller Assets or any other security for the Obligations, nor shall Seller or CHS be deemed to be the owner of any interest in any Obligations, or exercise any rights or remedies with respect to itself or any other party until the Obligations have been paid to Administrative

755931971 16509877

Agent for the benefit of the Affected Parties and are fully and indefeasibly performed and discharged.

Administrative Agent shall have no duty to prepare or process the Seller Assets for disposition.

755931971 16509877

liabilities to the extent resulting from (x) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of an Indemnified Party as determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction or (y) the failure of an Account Debtor or Obligor to pay any sum due under its Pool Asset by reason of the financial or credit condition of such Account Debtor or Obligor (including the occurrence of an Insolvency Event with respect to the applicable Account Debtor or Obligor).

(i) Each Committed Purchaser may freely assign to any Eligible Assignee without the consent of Seller unless Seller’s consent is required pursuant to the definition of “Eligible Assignee” all or a portion of any of its other rights and obligations under this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document (including all or a portion of its Commitment and its interest in the Asset Interest), in each case, with prior written notice to Administrative Agent, the related

Purchaser Agent and Seller; provided, however, that the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent and to Seller, for its recording in the Register, a duly executed and enforceable joinder to this Agreement (“Joinder”).

(e) Register.

The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(f) Opinions of Counsel. If requested by Administrative Agent or an assigning Purchaser or related Purchaser Agent or necessary to maintain the ratings of any Conduit Purchaser’s Commercial Paper Notes, each assignment agreement or transfer supplement, as the case may be, must be accompanied by an opinion of counsel of the assignee as to such matters as Administrative Agent or such Purchaser or related Purchaser Agent may reasonably request.

In the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, or Administrative Agent waives compliance with the provisions of this Section 13.8(c), such party will furnish only that portion of the Program Information which (in such party’s good faith judgment) is legally required to be furnished and will exercise commercially reasonable efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Program Information.

Business Overview - Energy

Business Overview – Propane

Propane is a liquid gas that is a by-product of the petroleum refining process. A small portion of the propane CHS distributes is produced at one of its two refineries. The majority of propane sold by CHS is purchased from other producers.

From a supply and pricing perspective, CHS’ propane business has two main market hubs —Conway, KS and Mont Belvieu, TX. The Xxxxxx market covers the West and Midwest area of the US while the Mont Belvieu market encompasses the Southern and Eastern portion of the US. US exports generally come out of the Mont Belvieu market given its access to the Gulf of Mexico.

Major uses of propane are for residential heating, crop drying (corn and tobacco), irrigation, and poultry farms (chicken and turkey barns). A majority of propane sales are in rural areas where natural gas pipelines have not been constructed. Besides natural gas, another major energy alternative to propane is electric heat.

By its very nature, propane is an odorless gas but its stench with a sour odor for safety reasons. Approximately 60% of the propane sold by CHS is done so on future contracts. These contracts may be fixed priced and thus present potential mark-to-market risk for CHS or they may be an indexed contract in which the price fluctuates with the market. Indexed contracts are generally for just a one-month period while fixed priced contracts are typically for a 12-month period. With its fixed priced contracts, CHS allows the customer the option to extend the contract for another 12- month period if they have not lifted the required gallons. The customer has to pay an extension fee for this option.

In addition to propane, CHS also sells a small amount of other NGLs such as butane and propylene.

Margins:

Propane, may experience higher volumes and profitability during the winter heating and fall crop drying seasons.

Types of Customers:

•CHS Member Cooperatives

•Independents

•Regional/National/Global

•Traders

Collateral is generally used as a credit enhancement. Most common types of collateral are:

•Standby Letter of Credit

•Corporate and Personal Guarantee

•Cash Collateral

•Credit Insurance

Off-Premise Inventory Storage

PROPANE: No prepayment activity. CHS leases approximately 10 sites to store propane. Title to the product remains with CHS. The propane accounting team receives monthly inventory balance reports from the storage facilities and the Energy Accounting staff reconciles these reports to our records. The value of the off-premise inventory varies with the peak usage seasons like fall and winter.

Business Overview - Lubricants

Last modified on 3, October 2018 Data Classification: For Internal-Use only 1

732718355 16509877

755931971 16509877

The US lubricant market is dominated by a few major producers. They include BP/Castrol, Shell, Exxon Mobil, and Chevron. As such, CHS is a market follower in respect to price increases or decreases. CHS produces its lubricant products at one of three manufacturing sites located in the US — Inver Grove Heights, MN; Kenton, OH; and Amarillo, TX. CHS markets its branded products under two different brand names — Cenex and Farm Oyl. Branded products are primarily sold for agricultural purposes to maintain farm implement equipment. CHS also produces unbranded product primarily used to maintain fleet vehicles and to be used for various industrial purposes. The final segment of lubricant sales made by CHS are private label products produced exclusively for various clients according to their own unique specifications.

A vast majority of CHS lubricant sales are made through a CLT (Cenex Lubricant Terminal) network. There are approximately 20 CLT dealers throughout the country that purchase lubricant product in bulk from CHS. They warehouse the product in their market territory and then redistribute the product to other CHS customers, primarily member farm coops, in the area. In these cases, CHS credits the CLT distributor and rebills directly the member farm coop customer.

Margins:

Since the production of lubricant product is more of a traditional manufacturing process compared to either the distribution of refined fuels or propane, it enjoys much higher margins, especially for branded product. Unbranded margins are slightly lower than that for branded product while margins for private label products are generally the lowest given the competitive bidding nature.

Types of Customers:

•CHS Member Cooperatives

•Independents

•Regional/National

Collateral is generally used as a credit enhancement. Most common types of collateral are:

•Corporate and Personal Guarantee

•Cash Collateral

Off Premise Inventory Storage

CHS has three plants that store the majority of the inventory until it is sold. Use of third party off premise inventory storage is uncommon.

Regional/National Energy Corporations:

There are three types of energy companies:

•Downstream — companies generally involved in refining and the marketing and distribution of refined fuels

•Mid-Stream — generally those companies involved with the gathering and storing petroleum products

•Fully Integrated — are companies that encompass Upstream Mid-Stream and Downstream activities

•Traders — companies involved with the physical and paper bulk refined fuel transactions.

Business Overview - Refined Fuels

The refined fuels business segment within CHS focuses on the distribution of our refined fuel offtake from CHS owned refineries. Generally, our supply of gas is larger than demand while our supply of distillate is smaller than our demand. Refined fuel products are distributed to our core customer via refined fuel “rack” terminals. Over/Under supply of refined fuel products are

generally resolved through trades/exchanges of product with national/global companies via pipeline transactions.

Margins:

Refined Fuels Products generally experiences higher volumes and profitability, in the summer and early fall when gasoline and diesel fuel usage is highest and is subject to global supply and demand forces

Types of customers:

Customers are classified as

•Branded — Customers that have signed a Branded Petroleum Marketing Agreement (BPMA), and/or a Branded Petroleum Distribution Agreement (BPDA) with CHS.

•Unbranded - Customers that purchase unbranded fuels from CHS. The types of Refined Fuels customers include:

•CHS Member Cooperatives

•Independents:

Independents are split into three categories.

•Retailer — dealer or non-dealer c-store, card troll, bulk distribution locations What is the risk profile and key consideration for the typical retailer that is different from other customer types? (i.e. Their ability to collection on their receivables? Their inventory turnover?) What makes one jobber higher risk than others? What do you look for in subjective factors, etc.

•Jobber — distributor of refined fuels products to retail and bulk locations only. What is the risk profile and key consideration for the typical jobber that is different from other customer types? (i.e. Their ability to collection on their receivables? Their inventory turnover?) What makes one jobber higher risk than others? Do jobbers typically have fixed assets? What do you look for in subjective factors, etc.

•Combo — Have retail and jobber functions

Collateral is generally used as a credit enhancement. Most common types of collateral are:

•Standby Letter of Credit

•Corporate and Personal Guarantee

•Cash Collateral

•Credit Insurance

•Unbilled Inventory Risk

Off-Premise Inventory Storage

REFINED FUELS: No prepayment activity. CHS leases 7 or 8 larger storage facilities and a higher number of smaller facilities for offsite inventory storage. Title to the product remains with CHS. At the end of each month, CHS receives reports from each facility listing the inventory balance and the Energy Accounting staff reconciles the inventory balances to our records.

Business Overview — Crop Nutrients

Business Overview

CHS is a marketer in the fertilizer industry. It competes with other marketers, traders, brokers, manufactures and dealers. It is a highly competitive industry which may cause customers buying habits to be inconsistent from year to year. In addition, the competitive nature of the industry requires credit to be more flexible. For example; personal and corporate guarantees are the prevalent source of credit enhancement; payment is generally by check rather than ACH or wire transfer.

Types of Customers:

•CHS Member Cooperatives

•Dealers

•Manufactures

•Marketers

•Traders

Collateral

•Corporate and Personal Guarantees

•Cash Collateral

•Standby Letter of Credit

•Use of credit insurance

•UCC’s

Off-Premise Inventory Storage

Crop Nutrients utilizes third party warehouse locations to store crop nutrient products. In these situations, the value of the product should be considered credit risk and included in the exposure calculation. CHS utilizes a Warehousing Storage and Handling Agreement to document the ownership of the product. A UCC is typically filed at the state level to notify other lenders of CHS’ interest in the product. The Crop Nutrient group maintains a monthly accounting of the receipt and disbursement of the product at the location. Consideration should be given to completing periodic physical inventory checks for higher risk credits. The Crop Nutrients group maintains of list of all OPI locations.
