BACKGROUND

2. Each Sub-Originator, in order to finance its business, wishes to sell Receivables and the Related Rights to the Buyer, and the Buyer is willing to purchase such Receivables and the Related Rights from the Sub-Originators, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

3. Each Sub-Originator and the Buyer intend each such transaction to be a true sale and conveyance of Receivables and the Related Rights by such Sub-Originator to the Buyer, providing the Buyer with the full benefits of ownership of the Receivables, and the Sub-Originators and the Buyer do not intend the transactions hereunder to be characterized as a loan from the Buyer to the Sub-Originators.

4.The Buyer intends to sell the Receivables and the Related Rights to the SPV pursuant to the Sub-Originator Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, between the Buyer, as Originator, the Servicer and the SPV, as buyer.

Sub-Originator Purchase and Sale Agreement

ARTICLE I
AGREEMENT TO PURCHASE AND SELL

SECTION 1.1 Agreement To Purchase and Sell. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, each Sub-Originator agrees to sell to the Buyer, and the Buyer agrees to purchase from such Sub-Originator, from time to time on or after the Closing Date, but before the Purchase and Sale Termination Date (as defined in Section 1.4), all of such Sub-Originator’s right, title and interest in and to:

(a)each Receivable of such Sub-Originator that existed and was owing to such Sub-Originator at the closing of such Sub-Originator’s business on the Cut-Off Date (as defined below);

(b)each Receivable generated or otherwise acquired by such Sub-Originator from and including the Cut-Off Date to but excluding the Purchase and Sale Termination Date;

(c)all of such Sub-Originator’s interest in any goods (including Returned Goods), and documentation of title evidencing the shipment or storage of any goods (including Returned Goods), the sale of which gave rise to such Receivable;

(d)all instruments and chattel paper that may evidence such Receivable;

(e)all other letter of credit rights, security interests or liens and property subject thereto from time to time purporting to secure payment of such Receivable, whether pursuant to the Contract related to such Receivable or otherwise, together with all UCC financing statements or similar filings relating thereto;

(f)solely to the extent applicable to such Receivable, all of such Sub-Originator’s rights, interests and claims under the related Contracts and all guaranties, indemnities, insurance and other agreements (including the related Contract) or arrangements of whatever character from time to time supporting or securing payment of such Receivable or otherwise relating to such Receivable, whether pursuant to the Contract related to such Receivable or otherwise;

(g)all records of such Sub-Originator to the extent related to any of the foregoing, and all rights, remedies, powers, privileges, title and interest (but not obligations) in and to each Lock-Box and all Collection Accounts, into which any Collections or other proceeds with respect to such Receivables may be deposited, and any related investment property acquired with any such Collections or other proceeds (as such term is defined in the applicable UCC); and

(h)all Collections and other proceeds (as defined in the UCC) of any of the foregoing that are or were received by such Sub-Originator on or after the Cut-Off Date.

All purchases hereunder shall be made without recourse, but shall be made pursuant to, and in reliance upon, the representations, warranties and covenants of the Sub-Originators set forth in this Agreement. No obligation or liability to any Obligor on any Receivable is intended to be assumed by the Buyer hereunder, and any such assumption is expressly disclaimed. The property, proceeds and rights described in clauses (c) through (h) above are herein referred to as

the “Related Rights”, and the Buyer’s foregoing commitment to purchase Receivables and Related Rights is herein called the “Purchase Facility.”

As used herein, “Cut-Off Date” means (a) with respect to each Sub-Originator party hereto on the date hereof, February 29, 2020, and (b) with respect to any Sub-Originator that first becomes a party hereto after the date hereof, the Business Day prior to the date on which such Sub-Originator becomes a party hereto or such other date as the Buyer and such Sub-Originator agree to in writing.

SECTION 1.2 Timing of Purchases.

(a)Closing Date Purchases. Effective on the Closing Date, each Sub-Originator hereby sells to the Buyer, and the Buyer hereby purchases, such Sub-Originator’s entire right, title and interest in, to and under (i) each Receivable that existed and was owing to Sub-Originator at the Cut-Off Date, (ii) each Receivable generated or otherwise acquired by Sub-Originator from and including the Cut-Off Date, to and including the Closing Date, and (iii) all Related Rights with respect thereto.

(b)Subsequent Purchases. After the Closing Date, until the Purchase and Sale Termination Date, each Receivable and the Related Rights generated or otherwise acquired by such Sub-Originator shall be, and shall be deemed to have been, sold by such Sub-Originator to the Buyer immediately (and without further action) upon the creation by such Sub-Originator, sale to the Sub-Originator or purported sale of such Receivable, as applicable.

SECTION 1.3 Consideration for Purchases. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Buyer agrees to make Purchase Price payments to the Sub-Originators in accordance with Article III.

SECTION 1.4 Purchase and Sale Termination Date. The “Purchase and Sale Termination Date” shall be the earlier to occur of (a) the date the Purchase Facility is terminated pursuant to Section 8.2(a) and (b) the Final Payout Date.

SECTION 1.5 Intention of the Parties. It is the express intent of each Sub-Originator and the Buyer that each conveyance by such Sub-Originator to the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement of the Receivables, including all Receivables, if any, constituting general intangibles as defined in the UCC, and all Related Rights be construed as a valid and perfected sale and absolute assignment (without recourse except as provided herein) of such Receivables and Related Rights by such Sub-Originator to the Buyer (rather than the grant of a security interest to secure a debt or other obligation of such Sub-Originator) and that the right, title and interest in and to such Receivables and Related Rights conveyed to the Buyer be prior to the rights of and enforceable against all other Persons at any time, including lien creditors, secured lenders, purchasers and any Person claiming through such Sub-Originator. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) this Agreement also shall be deemed to be, and hereby is, a security agreement within the meaning of the UCC and (ii) such Sub-Originator shall be deemed to have granted to the Buyer as of the date of this Agreement, and such Sub-Originator hereby grants to the Buyer a security interest in, to and under all of such Sub-Originator’s right, title and interest in and to: the

Receivables and the Related Rights now existing and hereafter created, generated or otherwise acquired by such Sub-Originator.

ARTICLE II
PURCHASE REPORT; CALCULATION OF PURCHASE PRICE

SECTION 2.1 Purchase Report. On the Closing Date and on each date when an Information Package is due to be delivered under the Receivables Financing Agreement (each such date, a “Monthly Purchase Report Date”), the Servicer shall deliver to the Buyer and each Sub-Originator a report in substantially the form of Exhibit A (each such report being herein called a “Purchase Report”) setting forth, among other things:

(a)Receivables purchased by the Buyer from each Sub-Originator on the Closing Date (in the case of the Purchase Report to be delivered on the Closing Date);

(b)Receivables purchased by the Buyer from each Sub-Originator during the calendar month immediately preceding such Monthly Purchase Report Date (in the case of each subsequent Purchase Report); and

(c)the calculations of reductions of the Purchase Price for any Receivables as provided in Section 3.4(a) and (b).

SECTION 2.2 Calculation of Purchase Price. The “Purchase Price” to be paid to each Sub-Originator on any Payment Date in accordance with the terms of Article III for the Receivables and the Related Rights that are purchased hereunder from such Sub-Originator shall be determined in accordance with the following formula:


PP	=	(OB x (1 – DF)) - PPC
where:
PP	=	Purchase Price for each Receivable as calculated on the relevant Payment Date.
OB	=	The Outstanding Balance of such Receivable on the relevant Payment Date.

Discount Factor, as measured on such Payment Date, which is equal to a percentage calculated to provide Buyer with a reasonable return on its investment in the Receivables after taking account of (i) the time value of money based upon the anticipated dates of collection of the Receivables and the cost to Buyer of financing its investment in the Receivables during such period and (ii) the risk of nonpayment by the Obligors. The Sub-Originator and Buyer may agree from time to time to change the Discount Factor based on changes in one or more of the items affecting the calculation thereof;

provided that any change to the Discount Factor shall take effect as of the first day of a calendar month, shall apply only prospectively and shall not affect the Purchase Price payment in respect of Receivables which came into existence during any calendar month ending prior to the calendar month during which the Sub-Originator and Buyer agree to make such change.

PPC

A credit against the Purchase Price of a Receivable due to the Sub-Originator being deemed to have received a Deemed Collection with respect to such Receivable in the amount of such Deemed Collection.

“Payment Date” means (i) the Closing Date and (ii) each Business Day thereafter that such Sub-Originator is open for business.

ARTICLE III
PAYMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE

SECTION 3.1 Purchase Price Payment.

(a)On the Closing Date, each Sub-Originator shall, and hereby does, sell to the Buyer, Receivables and Related Rights consisting of each Receivable of such Sub-Originator that exists and is owing to such Sub-Originator on the Cut-Off Date.

(b)On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Buyer agrees to pay to such Sub-Originator the Purchase Price for the purchase to be made from such Sub-Originator on the Closing Date, (i) to the extent the Buyer has cash available therefor, partially in cash (in an amount to be agreed between the Buyer and such Sub-Originator and set forth in the initial Purchase Report), if requested by such Sub-Originator and permitted under the Receivables Financing Agreement, by causing the LC Bank to issue one or more Letters of Credit in accordance with Section 3.3 and on the terms and conditions contained for issuing Letters of Credit under the Receivables Financing Agreement and (ii) the remainder by accepting an Intercompany Loan from such Sub-Originator that was made under an intercompany loan agreement in the form of Exhibit B (each such intercompany loan agreement, as it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, each being herein called an “Intercompany Loan Agreement”) with an initial principal amount equal to the remaining Purchase Price payable to such Sub-Originator not paid in cash.

SECTION 3.2 Subsequent Purchase Price Payments. On each Payment Date subsequent to the Closing Date, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Buyer shall pay the Purchase Price to such Sub-Originator for the Receivables and the Related Rights generated or otherwise acquired by such Sub-Originator on such Payment Date:

(a)First, in cash to each Sub-Originator to the extent the Buyer has cash available therefor, if requested by such Sub-Originator and permitted under the Receivables Financing Agreement, by causing the LC Bank to issue one or more Letters of Credit in

accordance with Section 3.3 and on the terms and conditions for issuing Letters of Credit under the Receivables Financing Agreement; and

(b)Second, to the extent any portion of the Purchase Price remains unpaid, an Intercompany Loan shall automatically be made by such Sub-Originator to the Buyer with an initial principal amount equal to such remaining unpaid portion of such Purchase Price;

provided, however, that if more than one Sub-Originator is selling Receivables to the Buyer on the date of such purchase, the Buyer shall make cash payments among the Sub-Originators in such a way as to minimize to the greatest extent practicable the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Intercompany Loans.

All amounts paid by the Buyer to any Sub-Originator shall be allocated first to the payment of any Purchase Price then due and unpaid, second to the payment of accrued and unpaid interest on the Intercompany Loans made by such Sub-Originator and third to the repayment of the outstanding principal amount on the Intercompany Loans made by such Sub-Originator to the extent of such outstanding principal amount thereof as of the date of such payment, in each case before such amounts may be allocated for any other purpose. The Servicer shall make all appropriate record keeping entries with respect to each of the Intercompany Loans to reflect the foregoing payments and payments and reductions made pursuant to Section 3.3, and absent manifest error, such entries shall constitute prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information so entered.

If, on any Business Day, the Buyer is unable to pay the Purchase Price for Receivables and Related Rights pursuant to this Section 3.2, then the Sub-Originators shall on such Business Day provide written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 3.3 Letters of Credit

(a)Any Sub-Originator may request that the Purchase Price for Receivables sold on a Payment Date be paid by the Buyer procuring the issuance of a Letter of Credit by the LC Bank. Upon the request of a Sub-Originator, and on the terms and conditions for issuing Letters of Credit under the Receivables Financing Agreement (including any limitations therein on the amount of any such issuance), the Buyer agrees to obtain from the SPV one or more Letters of Credit issued by LC Bank to issue, on the Payment Dates specified by such Sub-Originator, on behalf of the SPV (and, if applicable, on behalf of, or for the account of, such Sub-Originator or an Affiliate of such Sub-Originator that is acceptable to the LC Bank in its sole discretion) in favor of the beneficiaries elected by such Sub-Originator or Affiliate of such Sub-Originator, with the consent of the Buyer. The aggregate stated amount of the Letters of Credit being issued on any Payment Date on behalf of such Sub-Originator or an Affiliate of such Sub-Originator shall constitute a credit against the aggregate Purchase Price otherwise payable by the Buyer to such Sub-Originator on such Payment Date pursuant to Section 3.2. To the extent that the aggregate stated amount of the Letters of Credit being issued on any Payment Date exceeds the aggregate Purchase Price payable by the Buyer to such Sub-Originator on such Payment Date, such excess shall be deemed to be (i) a reduction in the outstanding principal balance of (and, to the extent necessary, the accrued but unpaid interest on) the Intercompany Loan payable to such Sub-Originator, to the extent the outstanding principal balance (and

accrued interest) is greater than such excess and/or (ii) a reduction in the Purchase Price payable on the Payment Dates immediately following the date any such Letter of Credit is issued. In the event that any such Letter of Credit issued pursuant to this Section 3.3 (i) expires or is cancelled or otherwise terminated with all or any portion of its stated amount undrawn, (ii) has its stated amount decreased (for a reason other than a drawing having been made thereunder) or (iii) the SPV’s Reimbursement Obligation in respect thereof is reduced for any reason other than by virtue of a payment made in respect of a drawing thereunder, then an amount equal to such undrawn amount or such reduction, as the case may be, shall either be paid in cash to such Sub-Originator on the next Payment Date or, if the Buyer does not then have cash available therefor, shall be deemed to be added to the outstanding principal balance of the Intercompany Loan payable to such Sub-Originator. Under no circumstances shall such Sub-Originator (or any Affiliate thereof (other than the SPV)) have any reimbursement or recourse obligations in respect of any Letter of Credit.

(b)In the event that any Sub-Originator requests that any purchases be paid for by the issuance of a Letter of Credit hereunder, such Sub-Originator shall on a timely basis provide the Buyer with such information as is necessary for the SPV to obtain such Letter of Credit from the LC Bank, and shall notify the Buyer, the Servicer and the Administrative Agent of the allocations described in clause (a) above. Such allocations shall be binding on the SPV and such Sub-Originator, absent manifest error.

(c)Each Sub-Originator agrees to be bound by the terms of each applicable Letter of Credit Application referenced in the Receivables Financing Agreement and that each Letter of Credit shall be subject either to the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits (2007 Revision), International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 600, and any amendments or revisions thereof adhered to by the LC Bank or the International Standby Practices (ISP98-International Chamber of Commerce Publication Number 590), and any amendments or revisions thereof adhered to by the LC Bank, as determined by the LC Bank, in each case subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Receivables Financing Agreement.

SECTION 3.4 Settlement as to Specific Receivables and Dilution.

(a)If, (i) on the day of purchase of any Receivable from a Sub-Originator hereunder, any of the representations or warranties set forth in Sections 5.5, 5.12, 5.20, 5.22, 5.23, 5.26 or 5.27 are not true with respect to such Receivable or (ii) as a result of any action or inaction (other than solely as a result of the failure to collect such Receivable due to a discharge in bankruptcy or similar insolvency proceeding or other credit related reasons with respect to the relevant Obligor) of any Sub-Sub-Originator, on any subsequent day, any of such representations or warranties set forth in Sections 5.5, 5.12, 5.20, 5.22, 5.23, 5.26 or 5.27 is no longer true with respect to such Receivable, then the Purchase Price for such Receivable shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Outstanding Balance of such Receivable and shall be accounted to such Sub-Originator as provided in clause (c) below; provided, that if the Buyer thereafter receives payment on account of the Outstanding Balance of such Receivable, the Buyer promptly shall deliver such funds to such Sub-Originator.

(b)If, on any day, the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable purchased hereunder is either (i) reduced or canceled as a result of (A) any defective, rejected, returned,

repossessed or foreclosed goods or services, or any revision, cancellation, allowance, rebate, credit memo, discount, or other adjustment made by any Sub-Originator, or any setoff, counterclaim, or dispute between or among a Sub-Originator or any Affiliate of a Sub-Originator, and an Obligor or (ii) subject to any specific dispute, offset, counterclaim or defense whatsoever (except the discharge in bankruptcy of the Obligor thereof), then the Purchase Price with respect to such Receivable shall be reduced by the amount of such net reduction or dispute and shall be accounted to such Sub-Originator as provided in clause (c) below.

(c)Any reduction in the Purchase Price of any Receivable pursuant to clause (a) or (b) above shall be applied as a credit for the account of the Buyer against the Purchase Price of Receivables subsequently purchased by the Buyer from such Sub-Originator hereunder; provided, however if there have been no purchases of Receivables from such Sub-Originator (or insufficiently large purchases of Receivables prior to the Settlement Date immediately following any such reduction in the Purchase Price of any Receivable) to create a Purchase Price sufficient to so apply such credit against, the amount of such credit:

(a)to the extent of any outstanding principal balance under the Intercompany Loans made by such Sub-Originator, shall be deemed to be a payment under, and shall be deducted from the outstanding principal amount of, the Intercompany Loans made by such Sub-Originator; and

(b)after making any deduction pursuant to clause (i) above, shall be paid in cash to the Buyer by such Sub-Originator on such Settlement Date in an amount equal to the lesser of (A) the amount of such reduction and (B) an amount necessary to eliminate the Borrowing Base Deficit that exists of such day after giving effect to clauses (a) and (b), subject to the following proviso;

provided, further, that at any time (x) when an Event of Default exists under the Receivables Financing Agreement or (y) on or after the Purchase and Sale Termination Date, the amount of any such credit shall be paid by such Sub-Originator to the Buyer in cash by deposit of immediately available funds into a Collection Account for application by the Servicer to the same extent as if Collections of the applicable Receivable in such amount had actually been received on such date.

(o)[Reserved.]

(p)Receivables Not to Be Evidenced by Promissory Notes or Chattel Paper.

ARTICLE VII
ADDITIONAL RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
IN RESPECT OF RECEIVABLES

SECTION 7.1 Rights of the Buyer. Such Sub-Originator hereby authorizes the Buyer, the Servicer or their respective designees or assignees under this Agreement or the Receivables Financing Agreement (including the Administrative Agent) to take any and all steps in such Sub-Originator’s name reasonably necessary in their respective determination, to collect all amounts due under any and all Receivables sold or otherwise conveyed or purported to be conveyed by it hereunder, including endorsing the name of such Sub-Originator on checks and other instruments representing Collections and enforcing such Receivables and the provisions of the related Contracts that concern payment or enforcement of rights to payment; provided, however, the

Administrative Agent shall not take any of the foregoing actions unless a Purchase and Sale Termination Event or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

SECTION 7.2 Responsibilities of such Sub-Originator. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding:

(a)Such Sub-Originator shall perform its obligations hereunder, and the exercise by the Buyer or its designee of its rights hereunder shall not relieve such Sub-Originator from such obligations.

(b)None of the Buyer, the Servicer, the Lenders or the Administrative Agent shall have any obligation or liability to the Obligor or any other third Person with respect to any Receivables, Contracts related thereto or any other related agreements, nor shall the Buyer, the Servicer, the Lenders or the Administrative Agent be obligated to perform any of the obligations of such Sub-Originator thereunder.

(c)Such Sub-Originator hereby grants to the Buyer and the Administrative Agent an irrevocable power-of-attorney, with full power of substitution, coupled with an interest, during the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default to take in the name of such Sub-Originator all steps necessary or advisable to endorse, negotiate or otherwise realize on any writing or other right of any kind held or transmitted by such Sub-Originator or transmitted or received by the Buyer or the Administrative Agent (whether or not from such Sub-Originator) in connection with any Receivable sold or otherwise conveyed or purported to be conveyed by it hereunder or Related Right.

SECTION 7.3 Further Action Evidencing Purchases. On or prior to the Closing Date, such Sub-Originator shall xxxx its master data processing records evidencing Pool Receivables with a legend, acceptable to the Buyer and the Administrative Agent, evidencing that the Pool Receivables have been transferred in accordance with this Agreement and such Sub-Originator or Servicer shall not change or remove such notation without the consent of the Buyer and the Administrative Agent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Such Sub-Originator agrees that from time to time, at its expense, it will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action that the Buyer, the Servicer or the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in order to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the Receivables and Related Rights purchased by the Buyer hereunder, or to enable the Buyer to exercise or enforce any of its rights hereunder or under any other Transaction Document. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon the request of the Buyer or the Administrative Agent, such Sub-Originator will execute (if applicable), authorize and file such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto or assignments thereof, and such other instruments or notices, as may be reasonably necessary.

Such Sub-Originator hereby authorizes the Buyer or its designee or assignee (including the Administrative Agent) to file one or more financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto and assignments thereof, relative to all or any of the Receivables and Related Rights sold or otherwise conveyed or purported to be conveyed by it hereunder and now existing or hereafter generated or acquired by such Sub-Originator. If such Sub-Originator fails to perform any of its agreements or obligations under this Agreement, the Buyer or its designee or assignee

(including, the Administrative Agent) may (but shall not be required to) itself perform, or cause the performance of, such agreement or obligation, and the expenses of the Buyer or its designee or assignee (including the Administrative Agent) incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by such Sub-Originator.

SECTION 7.4 Application of Collections. Any payment by an Obligor in respect of any indebtedness owed by it to such Sub-Originator shall, except as otherwise specified by such Obligor or required by Applicable Law and unless otherwise instructed by the Servicer (with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent) or the Administrative Agent, be applied as a Collection of any Receivable or Receivables of such Obligor to the extent of any amounts then due and payable thereunder (such application to be made starting with the oldest outstanding Receivable or Receivables) before being applied to any other indebtedness of such Obligor.

SECTION 7.5 Performance of Obligations. Such Sub-Originator shall (i) perform all of its obligations under the Contracts related to the Receivables generated or acquired by such Sub-Originator to the same extent as if interests in such Receivables had not been transferred hereunder, and the exercise by the Buyer or the Administrative Agent of its rights hereunder shall not relieve such Sub-Originator from any such obligations and (ii) pay when due any taxes, including any sales taxes payable in connection with the Receivables generated or acquired by such Sub-Originator and their creation and satisfaction, except where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

ARTICLE VIII

SECTION 8.1 Purchase and Sale Termination Events. Each of the following events or occurrences described in this Section 8.1 shall constitute a “Purchase and Sale Termination Event” (each event which with notice or the passage of time or both would become a Purchase and Sale Termination Event being referred to herein as an “Unmatured Purchase and Sale Termination Event”):

further that no breach of a representation or warranty set forth in Sections 5.5, 5.12, 5.20, 5.22, 5.23, 5.26 or 5.27 shall constitute a Purchase and Sale Termination Event pursuant to this clause (c) if credit has been given for a reduction of the Purchase Price or such Sub-Originator has made a cash payment to the Buyer, in any case, as required pursuant to Section 3.4(c) with respect to such breach;

(d)any Sub-Originator shall fail to perform or observe any other term, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party on its part to be performed or observed and such failure shall continue unremedied for thirty (30) days after such Sub-Originator has knowledge or receives written notice thereof; or

ARTICLE IX

(a)the breach of any representation or warranty made or deemed made by such Sub-Originator (or any employee, officer or agent of such Sub-Originator) under or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, or any information

or report delivered by or on behalf of such Sub-Originator pursuant hereto or thereto which shall have been untrue or incorrect when made or deemed made or delivered;

(e)the failure to have filed, or any delay in filing, financing statements (including, as extracted collateral filings), financing statement amendments, continuation statements or other similar instruments or documents under the UCC of any applicable jurisdiction or other Applicable Laws with respect to any Pool Receivable or the Related Rights;

(f)any suit or claim related to the Pool Receivables originated or acquired by such Sub-Originator (including any products liability or environmental liability claim arising out of or in connection with the property, products or services that are the subject of any Pool Receivable originated or acquired by such Sub-Originator);

(g)(g)any dispute, claim, offset or defense (other than discharge in bankruptcy) of the Obligor to the payment of any Receivable in the Pool Receivables (including a defense based on such Pool Receivable’s or the related Contract’s not being a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Obligor enforceable against it in accordance with its terms) or any other claim resulting from the sale of the property, products or services to such Receivable or the furnishing or failure to furnish such property, products or services;

(h)any failure of such Sub-Originator to perform any its duties or obligations in accordance with the provisions hereof and of each other Transaction Document related to Pool Receivables or to timely and fully comply with the Credit and Collection Policy in regard to each Pool Receivable;

(i)[reserved];

Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative economic interests of such Sub-Originator and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and such Purchase and Sale Indemnified Party, on the other hand, in the matters contemplated by this Agreement as well as the relative fault of such Sub-Originator and its Affiliates and such Purchase and Sale Indemnified Party with respect to such loss, claim, damage or liability and any other relevant equitable considerations.
