Unless defined elsewhere herein, capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in Exhibit I.

PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS

The parties hereto (other than PNC in its capacity as an LC Bank) have entered into that certain Third Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement, dated as of November
19, 2007 (as amended up to the date hereof, the “Existing Agreement”).

Seller has transferred and assigned to the Purchasers pursuant to the Existing Agreement, and desires to continue to transfer and assign to the Purchaser’s pursuant to this Agreement, Purchaser Interests from time to time.

Each Conduit may, in its absolute and sole discretion, purchase the Purchaser Interests from Seller from time to time.

In the event that any Conduit declines to make any purchase of Purchaser Interests or if the related Purchaser Group does not include a Conduit, the applicable Related Financial Institution(s) will, at the request of Seller, purchase such Purchaser Interests from time to time on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, the LC Banks have agreed to issue Letters of Credit, and each Financial Institution has agreed to acquire risk participations in such Letters of Credit.

BTMUNY has been requested and is willing to act as Agent on behalf of the Purchasers and Managing Agents in accordance with the terms hereof.

The parties hereto now desire to amend and restate the Existing Agreement in its entirety to read as set forth herein.

AGREEMENT




Now therefore, in consideration of the foregoing and for other valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree that, the Existing Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

ARTICLE I. PURCHASE ARRANGEMENTS

Section 1.1    Purchase Facility.

(a) On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, the Seller may, from time to time prior to the Amortization Date (but not more often than six times per calendar month), instruct (i) the Purchaser Groups ratably (based on the Commitments of their respective Related Financial Institutions) to make purchases of and reinvestments in Purchaser Interests, and each such purchase or reinvestment by a Purchaser Group shall be funded by (x) a Conduit (if any) in such Purchaser Group if such Conduit elects to make such purchase or reinvestment in its sole and absolute discretion (it being understood and agreed that no Conduit shall have any obligation to fund any purchase or reinvestment hereunder), or (y) by the Related Financial Institution(s) in such Purchaser Group if such Purchaser Group does not include a Conduit or if the Conduit(s) in such Purchaser Group decline(s) to make such purchase or reinvestment, or (ii) any LC Bank to issue Letters of Credit in return for Purchaser Interests, and upon each such issuance, each Financial Institution shall (and shall be deemed to) purchase a risk participation in such Letters of Credit and shall be required to make LC Participation Advances in connection with any draws under such Letters of Credit equal to such Financial Institution’s Pro Rata Share of such draws. In connection with each such purchase, reinvestment or issuance, the Seller shall (and shall be deemed to) sell and assign the related Purchaser Interests to the Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers. Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Section 1.1(a) or otherwise herein to the contrary, under no circumstances shall any Purchaser be obligated to fund any purchase of, or reinvestment in, any Purchaser Interest or issue any Letter of Credit, as applicable, if, after giving effect thereto:

(i)    the sum of the Aggregate Capital plus the LC Exposure, would exceed the
Purchase Limit;

(ii)    the LC Exposure would exceed the LC Facility Limit;

(iii) the sum of (A) such Purchaser’s outstanding Capital, plus (B) the outstanding Capital of all other Purchasers in such Purchaser’s Purchaser Group, plus (C) such Purchaser’s Purchaser Group’s Pro Rata Share of the LC Exposure, would exceed the Purchaser Group Commitment of such Purchaser Group;

(iv) if such Purchaser is a Financial Institution, the sum of such Financial Institution’s outstanding Capital plus such Financial Institution’s Pro Rata Share of the LC Exposure, would exceed such Financial Institution’s Commitment;

(v)    the amounts then available to be drawn under all outstanding Letters of
Credit issued by any LC Bank would exceed its LC Limit; or

(vi)    the aggregate of all Purchaser Interests would exceed 100%;

provided, however, that, for the avoidance of doubt, none of the foregoing conditions shall apply to any



Financial Institution’s obligation to fund LC Participation Advances hereunder. The Seller may, subject to this clause (a) and the other requirements and conditions herein, use the proceeds of any purchase by the Purchasers hereunder to satisfy any LC Reimbursement Obligation to the LC Bank and the Financial Institutions pursuant to Section 1.8 below.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no LC Bank shall have any obligation hereunder to issue, and shall not issue, any Letters of Credit the proceeds of which would be made available to any Person (i) to fund any activity or business of or with any Sanctioned Person, or in any Sanctioned Country, except, in each case, to the extent such use is licensed by OFAC and otherwise authorized under applicable law or (ii) in any manner that would result in a violation of any Sanctions by any party to this Agreement.

(b) Seller may, upon at least 10 Business Days’ notice to the Agent and each Managing Agent, terminate in whole or reduce in part, ratably among the Financial Institutions, the unused portion of the Purchase Limit (but not below the amount that would cause the Aggregate Capital plus the LC Exposure to exceed the Purchase Limit or the LC Exposure to exceed the LC Facility Limit); provided that (i) each partial reduction of the Purchase Limit shall be in an amount equal to $5,000,000 or an integral multiple thereof and (ii) in connection with each such termination or reduction of the Purchase Limit, the Financial Institutions’ respective Commitments and the Purchaser Groups’ respective Purchaser Group Commitments, in each case, shall be automatically terminated in whole or ratably reduced in part (as the case may be) by an amount (in the aggregate for all Financial Institutions and Purchaser Groups) equal to such termination or reduction in the Purchase Limit.

Section 1.2 Increases. Seller will provide the Agent and each Managing Agent with notice by at least 12:00 noon (New York time) one Business Day (or, with respect to the issuance of a Letter of Credit, three Business Days) prior in a form set forth as Exhibit II hereto of each Incremental Purchase (other than an LC Reimbursement Purchase deemed requested pursuant to Section 1.8) (each such notice, a “Purchase Notice”). Each Purchase Notice shall be subject to Section 6.2 hereof and, except as set forth below, shall be irrevocable and shall specify the requested Purchase Price (which shall not be less than $1,000,000 and shall be in integral multiples of $100,000 thereafter), whether the issuance of a Letter of Credit is being requested (in which case, the Purchase Notice shall specify the applicable LC Bank and shall include the related documents and information specified in Section 1.6(a)) and date of purchase and, in the case of an Incremental Purchase to be funded by any of the Financial Institutions, the requested Discount Rate and Tranche Period. Following receipt of a Purchase Notice (other than a Purchase Notice that requests only the issuance of a Letter of Credit), each Managing Agent will promptly notify the Purchasers in its Purchaser Group of such Purchase Notice.

On the date of each Incremental Purchase (other than an LC Reimbursement Purchase deemed requested pursuant to Section 1.8, which shall be funded in accordance with such Section), subject to satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 1.1(a), this Section 1.2 and Article VI, (i) in the case of any Incremental Purchase other than the issuance of a Letter of Credit, the Purchasers in each Purchaser Group (which may be Conduits and/or Financial Institutions, as determined in accordance with Section 1.1(a)) will deposit (or will initiate a deposit and, if requested, will provide the Seller the related wire confirmation number) to the Facility Account, in immediately available funds, no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time), an amount equal to such Purchaser Group’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate Purchase Price of such Incremental Purchase, and (ii) in the case of the issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit shall be issued in accordance with Sections 1.5 and 1.6.

Each Purchaser’s obligations hereunder shall be several, such that the failure of any Purchaser to make available to Seller any funds in connection with any purchase shall not relieve any other Purchaser



of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make funds available on the date of such purchase, but no Purchaser shall be responsible for the failure of any other Purchaser to make funds available in connection with any purchase.

Section 1.3 Decreases. Seller will provide the Agent and each Managing Agent with prior written notice substantially in the form of Exhibit XI (a “Reduction Notice”) in conformity with the Required Notice Period of any proposed reduction of Aggregate Capital on any Settlement Date from Collections and each Managing Agent will promptly notify each Purchaser in such Managing Agent’s Purchaser Group of such Reduction Notice after such Managing Agent’s receipt thereof. Such Reduction Notice shall designate (i) the date (the “Proposed Reduction Date”) upon which any such reduction of the Aggregate Capital shall occur (which date shall give effect to the applicable Required Notice Period), and (ii) the aggregate amount by which the Aggregate Capital will be reduced (the “Aggregate Reduction”), which shall be applied to reduce the Capital of the various Purchasers ratably (based on the amount of their respective outstanding Capital). Only one (1) Reduction Notice shall be outstanding at any time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Aggregate Reduction will not be made if the Amortization Date shall have occurred for any reason on or prior to the Proposed Reduction Date. Concurrently with any reduction of Aggregate Capital pursuant to this Section, Seller shall pay to the applicable Purchasers all Broken Funding Costs (if any) arising as a result of such reduction.

Section 1.4 Payment Requirements. All amounts to be paid or deposited by any Seller Party pursuant to any provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents shall be paid or deposited (or such Seller Party shall initiate a payment or deposit and, if requested, will provide the Agent or any Managing Agent the related wire confirmation number) in accordance with the terms hereof no later than 12:00 noon (New York time) on the day when due in immediately available funds, and if not received (or if such payment or deposit is not initiated) before 12:00 noon (New York time) shall be deemed to be received on the next succeeding Business Day. If such amounts are payable to a Purchaser, they shall be paid to such Purchaser by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the “Wiring Instructions” specified for such Purchaser on Schedule A or in accordance with such other wiring instructions specified by such Purchaser (or its Managing Agent) in writing to each other party hereto. If such amounts are payable to the Agent, they shall be paid to the Agent with the “Wiring Instructions” specified for the Agent on Schedule A or in accordance with such other wiring instructions specified by the Agent in writing to each other party hereto. All computations of Yield, per annum fees or discount calculated as part of any CP Costs, per annum fees hereunder and per annum fees under any Fee Letter shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days (or, if calculated by reference to the Prime Rate, 365 or 366 days, as applicable) for the actual number of days elapsed. If any amount hereunder or under any other Transaction Document shall be payable on a day which is not a Business Day, such amount shall be payable on the next succeeding Business Day.

Section 1.5 Letters of Credit. Upon the request of the Seller pursuant to a Purchase Notice delivered in accordance with Section 1.2 and subject to all applicable terms and conditions set forth herein (including, without limitation, those conditions set forth in Section 1.1(a), Section 1.2, Section 1.6 and Article VI), the applicable LC Bank shall issue or cause the issuance of Letters of Credit on behalf of the Seller or its assignee or subassignees (and, if applicable, on behalf of, or for the account of, the Performance Guarantor, an Originator or an Affiliate of an Originator in favor of such beneficiaries as the Performance Guarantor, such Originator or such Affiliate may elect). For the avoidance of doubt, Yield shall accrue on all amounts drawn under Letters of Credit for each day on and after the applicable LC Reimbursement Date so long as such drawn amounts shall have not been reimbursed to the applicable LC Bank pursuant to the terms hereof.




Section 1.6    Issuance of Letters of Credit; Participations.

(a) In accordance with Section 1.2, the Seller may from time to time request that an LC Bank issue a Letter of Credit by completing and delivering to the Agent and such LC Bank a Purchase Notice together with (i) a Letter of Credit Application completed to the satisfaction of the Agent and such LC Bank, and (ii) such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as the Agent and such LC Bank may reasonably request. The Seller will also have the right to give instructions and make agreements with respect to any Letter of Credit Application and the disposition of documents, and to agree with the LC Bank upon any amendment, extension or renewal of any Letter of Credit.

(b) Each Letter of Credit will, among other things, (i) provide for the payment of sight drafts or other written demands for payment when presented for honor thereunder in accordance with the terms thereof and when accompanied by the documents described therein and (ii) have an expiry date not later than twelve (12) months after the date of issuance, extension or renewal, as the case may be, of such Letter of Credit and in no event later than twelve (12) months after the Scheduled Facility Termination Date. The terms of each Letter of Credit may include customary “evergreen” provisions providing that such Letter of Credit’s expiry date shall automatically be extended for additional periods not to exceed twelve (12) months unless, not less than thirty (30) days (or such longer period as may be specified in such Letter of Credit) (the “LC Expiry Notice Date”) prior to the applicable expiry date, the applicable LC Bank delivers written notice to the Seller and the beneficiary thereof declining such extension; provided, however, that if (x) any such extension would cause the expiry date of such Letter of Credit to occur after the date that is twelve (12) months after the Scheduled Facility Termination Date or (y) the applicable LC Bank determines that any condition precedent (including, without limitation, those set forth in Section 1.1(a) or Exhibit VI) to issuing such Letter of Credit hereunder (as if such Letter of Credit were then being first issued) is not satisfied (other than any such condition requiring the Seller to submit a Purchase Notice or Letter of Credit Application in respect thereof), then such LC Bank, in the case of clause (x) above, may (or, at the written direction of any Financial Institution, shall) or, in the case of clause (y) above, shall, use reasonable efforts in accordance with (and to the extent permitted by) the terms of such Letter of Credit to prevent the extension of such expiry date (including notifying the Seller and the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit in writing prior to the LC Expiry Notice Date that such expiry date will not be so extended). 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 applicable LC Bank or the International Standby Practices (ISP98-International Chamber of Commerce Publication Number 590), and any amendments or revisions thereof adhered to by such LC Bank, as determined by such LC Bank.

(c) Immediately upon the issuance by an LC Bank of any Letter of Credit (or any amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof), such LC Bank shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each Financial Institution, and each Financial Institution shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from such LC Bank, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation, to the extent of such Financial Institution’s Pro Rata Share, in such Letter of Credit, each drawing made thereunder and the obligations of the Seller hereunder with respect thereto, and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto. Upon any change in the Commitments or Pro Rata Shares of the Financial Institutions pursuant to this Agreement, it is hereby agreed that, with respect to all outstanding Letters of Credit and unreimbursed drawings thereunder, there shall be an automatic adjustment to the participations pursuant to this Section 1.6(c) to reflect the new Pro Rata Shares of the assignor and assignee Financial Institutions or of all Financial Institutions with Commitments, as the case may be. In the event that an LC Bank makes any payment under any Letter of Credit and the Seller shall not have reimbursed such amount in full to such LC Bank pursuant to Section 1.8(a) or 1.8(b), each



Financial Institution that has not made an LC Reimbursement Purchase in accordance with Section 1.8(b) will be obligated to make LC Participation Advances with respect to such Letter of Credit in accordance with Section 1.8(c).

Section 1.7 Requirements For Issuance of Letters of Credit. The Seller shall authorize and direct the LC Bank to name the Seller, the Performance Guarantor, an Originator or an Affiliate of an Originator as the “Applicant” or “Account Party” of each Letter of Credit.

Section 1.8    Disbursements, Reimbursement.

(a) In the event of any request for a drawing under a Letter of Credit by the beneficiary or transferee thereof, the applicable LC Bank will promptly notify the Agent who will notify the Seller and each Managing Agent of such request, and the applicable LC Bank will honor such drawing if and when required pursuant to the terms of the applicable Letter of Credit (the date on which an LC Bank honors a drawing on a Letter of Credit, the “Honor Date”). The Seller shall reimburse (such obligation to reimburse the LC Bank, the “LC Reimbursement Obligation”) the LC Bank (i) if the Seller shall have received notice of such drawing prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on any Business Day, by no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on such Business Day or (ii) otherwise, by noon (New York time) on the Business Day immediately following the day that the Seller receives such notice (each such date for reimbursement, an “LC Reimbursement Date”) in an amount equal to the amount so paid by such LC Bank; provided, however, that recourse to the Seller for the LC Reimbursement Obligation shall be limited to the Collateral and all of the other rights, interests and assets from time to time owned by the Seller (including all rights and interests of the Seller under or in connection with the Transaction Documents). For the avoidance of doubt, no Cardinal Entity (other than the Seller) or any other account party on a Letter of Credit (unless such account party is the Seller) shall have any obligation to reimburse the LC Bank or any other Person for a drawing under a Letter of Credit or shall otherwise be required to fund or perform the Reimbursement Obligation hereunder on behalf of the Seller or otherwise.

(b) Upon receipt of a notice of a drawing under a Letter of Credit pursuant to clause (a) above, unless the Seller shall have already satisfied the Reimbursement Obligation from its own funds, (i) the Seller will be deemed (without further action or notice) to have requested that an Incremental Purchase (each such Incremental Purchase, an “LC Reimbursement Purchase”) be made on the applicable LC Reimbursement Date in an amount equal to such LC Reimbursement Obligation, (ii) the Agent will notify each Managing Agent of such requested LC Reimbursement Purchase and (iii) interest shall accrue and be owing by the Seller to the LC Bank on such amount so paid by such LC Bank between such Honor Date and the LC Reimbursement Date at a rate per annum equal to the Discount Rate at such time; provided, however, that recourse to the Seller for such interest payment obligations shall be limited to the Collateral and all of the other rights, interests and assets from time to time owned by the Seller (including all rights and interests of the Seller under or in connection with the Transaction Documents). Subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 1.1(a) and Article VI, a Reimbursement Purchase will be made on the LC Reimbursement Date by the Purchasers in each Purchaser Group (which may be Conduits and/or Financial Institutions, as determined in accordance with Section 1.1(a)) by delivering their respective Pro Rata Shares of such LC Reimbursement Purchase (or, in the case of a Defaulting Financial Institution, by the Agent using funds in the LC Collateral Account, if available, to fund such Defaulting Financial Institution’s Pro Rata Share of the Reimbursement Purchase) directly to the applicable LC Bank on behalf of the Seller in respect of the Seller’s LC Reimbursement Obligation. In the event an LC Bank is not reimbursed for the full amount of any drawing under any Letter of Credit by the applicable time on any LC Reimbursement Date (including, without limitation, because the conditions precedent to an LC Reimbursement Purchase deemed to have been requested by the Seller pursuant to this Section are not



satisfied), such LC Bank will promptly notify the Agent who will promptly notify each Financial Institution (or its Managing Agent) thereof (which notice may be delivered in writing, orally or by e-mail).

(c) Upon its (or its Managing Agent’s) receipt of any notice (including, without limitation, oral notice) pursuant to Section 1.8(b) that an LC Bank has not been reimbursed for the full amount of any drawing under any Letter of Credit by the applicable time on the applicable LC Reimbursement Date, each Financial Institution shall make available to such LC Bank an amount in immediately available funds equal to its Pro Rata Share of the amount of the drawing (an “LC Participation Advance”). For the avoidance of doubt, each Financial Institutions obligation under this clause (c) shall be binding upon such Financial Institution notwithstanding the limitation on recourse to the Seller set forth in Section 1.8(a). If any Financial Institution so notified fails to make available to the applicable LC Bank the amount of such Financial Institution’s Pro Rata Share of such amount by 4:00 p.m. (New York time) on the LC Reimbursement Date, then interest shall accrue on such Financial Institution’s obligation to make such payment, from the LC Reimbursement Date to the date on which such Financial Institution makes such payment (i) at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate during the first three days following the LC Reimbursement Date and (ii) at a rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate on and after the fourth day following the LC Reimbursement Date. Each Financial Institution’s Commitment to make LC Participation Advances to the LC Banks in respect of participation interests acquired by it pursuant to Section 1.6(c) shall survive and continue (notwithstanding the occurrence of the Amortization Date or any other termination of the purchase facility evidenced by this Agreement) until the last to occur of the following events: (i) the applicable LC Bank ceases to be obligated to issue or cause to be issued Letters of Credit hereunder, (ii) no Letter of Credit issued hereunder remains outstanding and un-cancelled or (iii) all Persons (other than the Seller) have been fully reimbursed for all payments made under or relating to Letters of Credit.

Section 1.9    Repayment of LC Participation Advances.

(a) Upon receipt by an LC Bank for its account of immediately available funds from or for the account of the Seller (i) in reimbursement of any payment made by such LC Bank under a Letter of Credit with respect to which any Financial Institution has made an LC Participation Advance to such LC Bank, or (ii) in payment of Yield on the LC Reimbursement Purchases made or deemed to have been requested in connection with any such draw, such LC Bank will pay to each Financial Institution, ratably (based on the outstanding drawn amounts funded by each Financial Institution in respect of such Letter of Credit), in the same funds as those received by the LC Bank.

(b) If an LC Bank is required at any time to return to the Seller, or to a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian, or any official in any insolvency proceeding, any portion of the payments made by the Seller to such LC Bank pursuant to this Agreement in reimbursement of a payment made under a Letter of Credit or interest or fee thereon, each Financial Institution shall, on demand of the LC Bank, forthwith return to such LC Bank the amount of its Pro Rata Share of any amounts so returned by such LC Bank (including any interest on such amounts owing by such LC Bank to the Seller, or to a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian, or any official in any insolvency proceeding) plus interest at the Federal Funds Rate, from the date the payment was returned by such LC Bank through, but not including, the date the payment is returned by such Financial Institution.

(c) If any Letters of Credit are outstanding and undrawn on the Amortization Date, the LC Collateral Account shall be funded from Collections (or, in the Seller’s sole discretion, by other funds available to the Seller) in an amount equal to the aggregate undrawn face amount of such Letters of Credit plus all related fees to accrue through the stated expiration dates thereof (such fees to accrue, as reasonably estimated by the applicable LC Bank, the “LC Fee Expectation”).




(d) Funds in the LC Collateral Account will be used to reimburse the LC Banks and (to the extent they have unreimbursed LC Participation Advances) the Financial Institutions for fees related to the Letters of Credit and for any draws on the Letters of Credit and LC Participation Advances which have not been reimbursed by the Seller or repaid from Collections. On each Settlement Date funds (if any) then on deposit in the LC Collateral Account shall be released to the Servicer for application as Collections in accordance with Article II to the extent that, after giving effect to such release and all distributions of Collections and any Purchases on such Settlement Date, (i) the Purchaser Interest will not exceed 100%, and (ii) only if the Amortization Date has occurred, the amount of the funds on deposit in the LC Collateral Account will not be less than 100% of the LC Exposure at such time, plus the amount of the LC Fee Expectation at such time. Any funds on deposit in the LC Cash Collateral Account after all Letters of Credit have expired, all draws on the Letters of Credit have been reimbursed, all LC Participation Advances have been repaid, all fees due with respect to the Letters of Credit have been paid in full, and the Amortization Date has occurred, shall be applied as Collections in accordance with Article II.

Section 1.10 Documentation. The Seller agrees to be bound by the terms of each Letter of Credit Application and by the applicable LC Bank’s reasonable interpretations of any Letter of Credit issued hereunder and by each LC Bank’s written regulations and customary practices relating to letters of credit, though the LC Bank’s reasonable interpretation of such regulations and practices may be different from the Seller’s own. In the event of a conflict between the Letter of Credit Application and this Agreement, this Agreement shall govern. It is understood and agreed that, except in the case of gross negligence or willful misconduct by an LC Bank, such LC Bank shall not be liable for any error, negligence and/or mistakes, whether of omission or commission, in following the Seller’s or the account party’s instructions or those contained in the Letters of Credit or any modifications, amendments or supplements thereto.

Section 1.11 Determination to Honor Drawing Request. In determining whether to honor any request for drawing under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, an LC Bank shall be responsible only to determine that the documents and certificates required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit have been delivered and that they comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit and that any other drawing condition appearing on the face of such Letter of Credit has been satisfied in the manner so set forth.

Section 1.12 Nature of LC Participations and LC Reimbursement Obligations. Each Financial Institution’s obligation in accordance with this Agreement to make LC Participation Advances as a result of a drawing under a Letter of Credit, and the obligations of the Seller to reimburse the applicable LC Bank upon a draw under a Letter of Credit, shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Article I under all circumstances, including the following circumstances:

(i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Financial Institution may have against any LC Bank, the Agent, any Managing Agent, any Purchaser, any Seller Party or any other Person for any reason whatsoever;

(ii) the failure of any Seller Party or any other Person to comply with the conditions set forth in this Agreement for the making of a purchase, reinvestments, requests for Letters of Credit or otherwise, it being acknowledged that such conditions are not required for the making of LC Participation Advances hereunder;

(iii) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or any set-off, counterclaim,



recoupment, defense or other right which any Seller Party, any Originator or any Affiliate thereof on behalf of which a Letter of Credit has been issued may have against any LC Bank, the Agent, any Managing Agent, any Purchaser, any Seller Party or any other Person for any reason whatsoever;
(iv) any claim of breach of warranty that might be made by any Seller Party, any LC Bank, any Financial Institution, any other Purchaser, the Agent, any Managing Agent or any other Person against the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit, or the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which any Seller Party, any LC Bank, any Financial Institution, any other Purchaser, the Agent, any Managing Agent or any other Person may have at any time against a beneficiary, any successor beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit or the proceeds thereof (or any Persons for whom any such transferee may be acting), any LC Bank, any Financial Institution, the Agent, any Purchaser or any Managing Agent or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transaction (including any underlying transaction between any Seller Party or any Affiliate of any Seller Party and the beneficiary for which any Letter of Credit was procured);

(v) the lack of power or authority of any signer of, or lack of validity, sufficiency, accuracy, enforceability or genuineness of, any draft, demand, instrument, certificate or other document presented under any Letter of Credit, or any such draft, demand, instrument, certificate or other document proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid, defective or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, even if the Agent, any LC Bank, any Financial Institution, any Managing Agent, any Purchaser or any Seller Party has been notified thereof;

(vi) payment by an LC Bank under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a demand, draft or certificate or other document which does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit other than as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such LC Bank;

(vii) the solvency of, or any acts or omissions by, any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit, or any other Person having a role in any transaction or obligation relating to a Letter of Credit, or the existence, nature, quality, quantity, condition, value or other characteristic of any property or services relating to a Letter of Credit;

(viii) any failure by an LC Bank or any of its Affiliates to issue any Letter of Credit in the form requested by the Seller, unless such LC Bank has received written notice from the Seller of such failure within three Business Days after the LC Bank shall have furnished the Seller a copy of such Letter of Credit and such error is material and no drawing has been made thereon prior to receipt of such notice;

(ix)    any Material Adverse Effect;

(x) any breach of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document by any party thereto;

(xi)    the bankruptcy or insolvency of any Seller Party, any Originator or any
Affiliate of the foregoing;

(xii) the fact that an Amortization Event or a Potential Amortization Event shall have occurred and be continuing;




(xiii)    the fact that this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or the obligations of any Seller Party hereunder or thereunder shall have been terminated; and

(xiv)    any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

Section 1.13 Liability for Acts and Omissions. As between the Seller, on the one hand, and the Agent, the LC Banks, the Financial Institutions, the Managing Agents and the Purchasers, on the other, the Seller assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of any Letter of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, none of the Agent, the LC Banks, the Financial Institutions, the Managing Agents or the Purchasers shall be responsible for: (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for an issuance of any such Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged (even if any LC Bank or any Financial Institution shall have been notified thereof); (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) the failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit, or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred, to comply fully with any conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit or any other claim of the Seller against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, or any such transferee, or any dispute between or among the Seller and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any such transferee; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, electronic mail, cable, telegraph, telex, facsimile or otherwise, whether or not they be encrypted; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Agent, the LC Banks, the Financial Institutions, the Managing Agents and the Purchasers, including any governmental acts, and none of the above shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of, any of any LC Bank’s rights or powers hereunder. Nothing in the preceding sentence shall relieve any LC Bank from liability for its gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, in connection with actions or omissions described in such clauses (i) through (viii) of such sentence. In no event shall the Agent, the LC Banks, the Financial Institutions, the Managing Agents or the Purchasers or their respective Affiliates, be liable to any Seller Party or any other Person for any indirect, consequential, incidental, punitive, exemplary or special damages or expenses (including without limitation attorneys’ fees), or for any damages resulting from any change in the value of any property relating to a Letter of Credit.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent, the LC Banks, the Financial Institutions, the Managing Agents and the Purchasers and each of its Affiliates (i) may rely on any written communication believed in good faith by such Person to have been authorized or given by or on behalf of the applicant for a Letter of Credit; (ii) may honor any presentation if the documents presented appear on their face to comply with the terms and conditions of the relevant Letter of Credit; (iii) may honor a previously dishonored presentation under a Letter of Credit, whether such dishonor was pursuant to a court order, to settle or compromise any claim of wrongful dishonor, or otherwise, and shall be entitled to reimbursement to the same extent as if such presentation had initially been honored, together with any interest paid by the applicable LC Bank or its Affiliates; (iv) may honor any drawing that is payable upon presentation of a statement advising negotiation or payment, upon receipt of such statement (even if such statement indicates that a draft or other document is being delivered separately), and shall not be liable for any failure



of any such draft or other document to arrive, or to conform in any way with the relevant Letter of Credit; (v) may pay any paying or negotiating bank claiming that it rightfully honored under the laws or practices of the place where such bank is located; and (vi) may settle or adjust any claim or demand made on the Agent, the LC Banks, the Financial Institutions, the Managing Agents or the Purchasers or their respective Affiliates, in any way related to any order issued at the applicant’s request to an air carrier, a letter of guarantee or of indemnity issued to a carrier or any similar document (each an “Order”) and may honor any drawing in connection with any Letter of Credit that is the subject of such Order, notwithstanding that any drafts or other documents presented in connection with such Letter of Credit fail to conform in any way with such Letter of Credit.

In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions set forth above, any action taken or omitted by any LC Bank under or in connection with any Letter of Credit issued by it or any documents and certificates delivered thereunder, if taken or omitted in good faith and without gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final non- appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, shall not put such LC Bank under any resulting liability to any Seller Party, the Agent, any Financial Institution, any other Purchaser, any Managing Agent or any other Person.

Section 1.14    Defaulting Financial Institutions.

(a) If any Financial Institution becomes a Defaulting Financial Institution at any time when there are undrawn Letters of Credit outstanding, then such Defaulting Financial Institution shall (i) within two (2) Business Days following notice by any LC Bank, cash collateralize for the benefit of the LC Banks a portion of the amount of the then outstanding Letters of Credit equal to such Defaulting Financial Institution’s Pro Rata Share of the undrawn stated amount of outstanding Letters of Credit by depositing such amount into the Defaulting Financial Institution Account, and (ii) maintain funds in the Defaulting Financial Institution Account to cash collateralize such Defaulting Financial Institution’s Pro Rata Share of the undrawn stated amount of outstanding Letters of Credit. The Agent shall apply funds deposited into the Defaulting Financial Institution Account to satisfy a Defaulting Financial Institution’s obligation to fund its portion of an LC Participation Advance required to be made by such Defaulting Financial Institution.

(b) No amount payable by the Seller for the account of a Defaulting Financial Institution (whether on account of Capital, Yield, fees, indemnity payments or other amounts) shall be paid or distributed to such Defaulting Financial Institution (or its Managing Agent), but instead shall be deposited to the Defaulting Financial Institution Account until the amount therein is equal to the amount of such Defaulting Financial Institution’s Pro Rata Share of the stated amount of the undrawn Letters of Credit that is not cash collateralized, and to the extent of any remaining amounts, to pay to such Defaulting Financial Institution amounts owed to it.
(c) Any funds on deposit in the Defaulting Financial Institution Account after all Letters of Credit have expired, all draws on the Letters of Credit have been reimbursed, all LC Participation Advances have been repaid, all fees due with respect to the Letters of Credit have been paid in full, and the Amortization Date has occurred, shall be applied as Collections in accordance with Article II.

(d) No Defaulting Financial Institution shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent under this Agreement (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Financial Institutions or each affected Financial Institution may be effected with the consent of the applicable Financial Institutions other than Defaulting Financial Institutions), except that (x) the Commitment of any Defaulting Financial Institution may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Financial Institution and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Financial Institutions or each affected Financial Institution that by its terms affects



any Defaulting Financial Institution more adversely than other affected Financial Institutions shall require the consent of such Defaulting Financial Institution.

ARTICLE II. PAYMENTS AND COLLECTIONS

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

Section 2.2 Collections Prior to Amortization. Prior to the Amortization Date, any Collections and/or Deemed Collections received by the Servicer shall be set aside and held in trust by the Servicer for the benefit of the Agent and the Purchasers for the payment of any accrued and unpaid Aggregate Unpaids or for a Reinvestment as provided in this Section 2.2. If at any time any Collections and/or Deemed Collections are received by the Servicer prior to the Amortization Date, (i) the Servicer shall set aside (x) the Termination Percentage (hereinafter defined) of Collections evidenced by the Purchaser Interests of each Terminating Financial Institution and its related Conduit(s), if any, (y) Collections to be used to effect any Aggregate Reduction in accordance with Section 1.3 and (z) amounts necessary to pay Obligations due on the next succeeding Settlement Date and (ii) Seller hereby requests and, subject to Section 6.2, the Purchasers (other than any Terminating Financial Institutions and their related Conduits, if any) hereby agree to make, simultaneously with such receipt, a reinvestment (each a “Reinvestment”) with that portion of the balance of each and every Collection and Deemed Collection received by the Servicer that is part of any Purchaser Interest (other than any Purchaser Interests of Terminating Financial Institutions and their related Conduits, if any), such that after giving effect to such Reinvestment, the amount of Capital of such Purchaser Interest and the LC Adjusted Exposure, in each case, immediately after such receipt and corresponding Reinvestment shall be equal to the amount of Capital and the LC Adjusted Exposure, in each case, immediately prior to such receipt (but giving effect to any reduction thereof pursuant to application of an Aggregate Reduction).

On each Settlement Date prior to the occurrence of the Amortization Date, the Servicer shall remit to the Agent’s or the applicable Purchaser’s account (or, in the case of any amount to be applied in reduction of the LC Adjusted Exposure, to the LC Collateral Account), no later than 12:00 noon (New York time), the amounts set aside during the preceding Settlement Period that have not been subject to a Reinvestment to be applied in the following order of priority (if not previously paid in accordance with Section 2.1):

second, to reduce the Capital of all Purchaser Interests of Terminating Financial Institutions and their respective related Conduits (if any), applied ratably to each Terminating Financial Institution (and its related Conduit(s), if any) according to its respective Termination Percentage,

third, if applicable, to ratably reduce the Aggregate Capital of all Purchasers (other than any Terminating Financial Institutions) and/or to reduce the LC Adjusted Exposure by deposit of funds to the LC Collateral Account, in each case, to the extent required to fund any Aggregate Reduction on such Settlement Date in accordance with Section 1.3 or 2.6, as applicable, and

This ratable portion shall be calculated on the Financial Institution Termination Date of such Terminating Financial Institution as a percentage (the “Termination Percentage”) equal to (i) Capital of such Terminating Financial Institution outstanding on its Financial Institution Termination Date, divided by (ii) the sum of (x) the Aggregate Capital outstanding on such Financial Institution Termination Date and (y) the LC Adjusted Exposure on such Financial

On and after the Amortization Date, the Servicer will, at any time upon the request from time to time by (or pursuant to standing instructions from) the Agent (i) remit to the Agent’s or applicable Purchaser’s account (or in the case of amounts applied in reduction of the LC Adjusted Exposure, to the LC Collateral Account) the amounts set aside pursuant to the preceding sentence, and (ii) apply such amounts to reduce the Capital associated with each such Purchaser Interest, the LC Adjusted Exposure and any other Aggregate Unpaids.

Section 2.4 Application of Collections. If the amount of funds held in trust by the Servicer are not sufficient to pay in full of the aforementioned amounts pursuant to Section 2.2 or 2.3 (as applicable), the Servicer will distribute such funds in the following order of priority:

seventh, after the Aggregate Unpaids have been indefeasibly reduced to zero, to Seller.

Collections applied to the payment of Aggregate Unpaids shall be distributed in accordance with the aforementioned provisions, and, giving effect to each of the priorities set forth in Section 2.4 above, shall be shared ratably (within each priority) among the Agent and the Purchasers in accordance with the amount of such Aggregate Unpaids owing to each of them in respect of each such priority.

Section 2.5 Payment Rescission. No payment of any of the Aggregate Unpaids shall be considered paid or applied hereunder to the extent that, at any time, all or any portion of such payment or application is rescinded by application of law or judicial authority, or must otherwise be returned or refunded for any reason. Seller will remain obligated for the amount of any payment or application so rescinded, returned or refunded, and will promptly pay to the Agent or applicable Managing Agent(s) (for application to the Person or Persons who suffered such rescission, return or refund) the full amount thereof, plus the Default Fee from the date of any such rescission, return or refunding.

The purchase price in respect thereof shall be an amount equal to the Aggregate Unpaids through the date of such repurchase, payable in immediately available funds. Such repurchase shall be without representation, warranty or recourse of any kind by, on the part of, or against any Purchaser, any Managing Agent or the Agent.

Section 2.8 Demand for Payment of Demand Loans.

(h) Enforceability of Contracts. Each Contract with respect to each Receivable is effective to create, and has created, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the related Obligor to pay the Outstanding Balance of the Receivable created thereunder and any accrued interest thereon, enforceable against the Obligor in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).

Incremental Purchase or Reinvestment shall be deemed a representation and warranty by Seller that such statements are then true):

(i) the representations and warranties set forth in Section 5.1 and 5.2 are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of such Incremental Purchase or Reinvestment as though made on and as of such date (other than the representation and warranty set forth in Section 5.1(j), which representation and warranty shall be true and correct on the date of the Initial Incremental Purchase as though made on and as of such date);

The failure of Seller to satisfy any of the foregoing conditions precedent in respect of any Reinvestment shall give rise to a right of the Agent, which right may be exercised at any time on demand of the Agent, to rescind the related purchase and direct Seller to pay to the Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers an amount equal to the Collections prior to the Amortization Date that shall have been applied to the affected Reinvestment.

ARTICLE VIII.
ADMINISTRATION AND COLLECTION

Section 8.1 Designation of Servicer. (a) The servicing, administration and collection of the Receivables shall be conducted by such Person (the “Servicer”) so designated from time to time in accordance with this Section 8.1. Griffin is hereby designated as, and hereby agrees to perform the duties and obligations of, the Servicer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The Agent (on behalf of the Purchasers) may, and at the direction of the Required Financial Institutions shall, at any time following the occurrence of a Collection Notice Event, by notice to Griffin and Seller designate any Person to succeed Griffin as Servicer or any successor Servicer.

(b) Without the prior written consent of the Agent and each Managing Agent, Griffin will not delegate any of its duties or responsibilities as Servicer to any Person other than (i) an Originator (with respect to Receivables originated by such Originator), (ii) Cardinal, (iii) Cardinal Health 2, Inc. a Nevada corporation, (iv) Cardinal Health 7, LLC and (v) with respect to certain Receivables that are Charged-Off Receivables, outside collection agencies in accordance with its customary practices (each, a “Permitted Sub-Servicer”). No Permitted Sub-Servicer will further delegate to any other Person, other than another Permitted Sub-Servicer, any of the duties or responsibilities of the Servicer delegated to it by Griffin. If the Agent shall, in accordance with this Agreement, designate as Servicer any Person other than Griffin, all duties and responsibilities theretofore delegated by Griffin to each Permitted Sub-Servicer may, at the discretion of the Agent, be terminated forthwith on notice given by the Agent to Griffin and to Seller (and, at the Agent’s discretion, any Permitted Sub-Servicer).

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing subsection (b), (i) Griffin shall be and remain primarily liable to the Agent and the Purchasers for the full and prompt performance of all duties and responsibilities of the Servicer hereunder and (ii) the Agent and the Purchasers shall be entitled to deal exclusively with Griffin in matters relating to the discharge by the Servicer of its duties and responsibilities hereunder. The Agent and the Purchasers shall not be required to (but may at their sole option) give notice, demand or other communication to any Person other than Griffin in order for communication to the Servicer and any of its Permitted Sub-Servicers with respect thereto to be accomplished. Griffin, at all times that it is the Servicer, shall be responsible for providing any Permitted Sub-Servicer or other delegate of the Servicer with any notice given to the Servicer under this Agreement.

Section 8.2 Duties of Servicer. (a) The Servicer will take or cause to be taken all such actions



as may be necessary or advisable to collect each Receivable from time to time, all in accordance with applicable laws, rules and regulations, with reasonable care and diligence, and in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy.

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

(c) The Servicer will administer the Collections in accordance with the procedures described herein and in Article II. The Servicer will set aside and hold in trust for the account of Seller and the Purchasers their respective shares of the Collections of Receivables in accordance with Article II. The Servicer will, upon the request of the Agent, segregate, in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Agent, all cash, checks and other instruments received by it from time to time constituting Collections from the general funds of the Servicer or Seller prior to the remittance thereof in accordance with Article II. If the Servicer shall be required to segregate Collections pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Servicer shall segregate and deposit with a bank designated by the Agent such allocable share of Collections of Receivables set aside for the Purchasers on the first Business Day following receipt by the Servicer of such Collections, duly endorsed or with duly executed instruments of transfer.

(d) The Servicer may, in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy, extend the maturity of any Receivable or adjust the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable or restructure any Receivable into a Note Receivable and sell such Note Receivable and its Related Security on a non-recourse basis, as agent for and on behalf of Seller, to a third party (other than Griffin or any Originator), in each case, as the Servicer determines to be appropriate to maximize Collections thereof; provided, however, that (i) such extension or adjustment shall not alter the status of such Receivable as a Delinquent Receivable or Charged-Off Receivable or limit the rights of the Agent, the Managing Agents or the Purchasers under this Agreement and (ii) any such restructuring shall be subject to the following conditions: (A) no Amortization Event shall exist immediately before such restructuring or after giving effect thereto (unless otherwise consented to by the Agent (at the instruction of each Managing Agent) in writing), (B) prior to such restructuring or concurrently therewith, Seller shall pay a Deemed Collection to the Agent in the amount of the Outstanding Balance of such Receivable and (C) Servicer shall identify the Receivable to be restructured to the Agent in writing. Upon and not until satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the foregoing clauses (A), (B) and (C), any Receivable restructured into a Note Receivable shall cease to be a “Receivable” for any purposes hereunder and the lien of the Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers shall be automatically released without further action. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Agent shall have the right, in its reasonable discretion, to direct the Servicer to commence or settle any legal action with respect to any Receivable or to foreclose upon or repossess any Related Security.

(e) The Servicer will hold in trust for Seller and the Purchasers all Records that (i) evidence or relate to the Receivables, the related Contracts and Related Security or (ii) are otherwise necessary or desirable to collect the Receivables and will, upon the occurrence of a Collection Notice Event, as soon as



practicable upon demand of the Agent, deliver or make available to the Agent all such Records, at a place selected by the Agent. The Servicer will, as soon as practicable following receipt thereof, turn over to Seller any cash collections or other cash proceeds received with respect to Indebtedness not constituting Receivables. The Servicer will, from time to time at the request of any Purchaser, furnish to the Purchasers (promptly after any such request) a calculation of the amounts set aside for the Purchasers pursuant to Article II.

(f) Any payment by an Obligor in respect of any indebtedness owed by it to any Originator, Griffin or Seller shall, except as otherwise specified by such Obligor or otherwise required by contract or law and unless otherwise instructed by the Agent, be applied as a Collection of any Receivable of such Obligor to the extent of any amounts then due and payable thereunder before being applied to any other receivable or other obligation of such Obligor.

Section 8.3 Collection Notices; Power-of-Attorney. (a) The Agent is authorized at any time after the occurrence of a Collection Notice Event to date and to deliver to the Collection Banks the Collection Notices. Seller hereby transfers to the Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers, effective when the Agent delivers such notice, the exclusive ownership and sole “control” (within the meaning of Section 9-104 of the UCC of all applicable jurisdictions) of each Lock-Box and the Collection Accounts. In case any authorized signatory of Seller whose signature appears on a Collection Account Agreement shall cease to have such authority before the delivery of such notice, such Collection Notice shall nevertheless be valid as if such authority had remained in force. Seller hereby authorizes the Agent, and agrees that the Agent shall be entitled after the occurrence of a Collection Notice Event to (i) endorse Seller’s name on checks
and other instruments representing Collections, (ii) take such action as shall be necessary or desirable to cause all cash, checks and other instruments constituting Collections of Receivables to come into the possession of the Agent rather than Seller and (iii) designate any Person to succeed Griffin as Servicer and enforce the Receivables, the related Contracts and the Related Security.

(b) The Seller hereby authorizes the Agent, and irrevocably appoints the Agent as its attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution and with full authority in the place and stead of the Seller, which appointment is coupled with an interest, to take any and all steps in the name of the Seller and on behalf of the Seller necessary or desirable, in the reasonable determination of the Agent, after the occurrence of a Amortization Event, to collect any and all amounts or portions thereof due under any and all Receivables, related Contracts and Related Security, including endorsing the name of the Seller on checks and other instruments representing Collections and otherwise enforcing Obligations hereunder and under the Transaction Documents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this subsection, none of the powers conferred upon such attorney-in-fact pursuant to the preceding sentence shall subject such attorney-in-fact to any liability if any action taken by it shall prove to be inadequate or invalid, nor shall they confer any obligations upon such attorney-in-fact in any manner whatsoever.

Section 8.4 Responsibilities of Seller. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the exercise by the Agent, the Managing Agents and the Purchasers of their rights hereunder shall not release the Servicer, Griffin, any Originator or Seller from any of their duties or obligations with respect to any Receivables or under the related Contracts. The Purchasers shall have no obligation or liability with respect to any Receivables or related Contracts, nor shall any of them be obligated to perform the obligations of Seller.

Section 8.5 Reports. (a) The Servicer will prepare and forward to the Agent and the Managing Agents (i) on the seventeenth (17th) calendar day of each month (or if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day) and at such times as the Agent or the Required Financial Institutions shall



request, a Monthly Report and (ii) at such times as the Agent or the Required Financial Institutions shall request, a listing by Obligor of all Receivables together with an aging of such Receivables.

(b) If on any date, less than two of S&P, Moody’s and Fitch are then maintaining senior unsecured long-term debt ratings on Cardinal of at least BBB- (as determined by S&P and Fitch) or Baa3 (as determined by Moody’s), then the Servicer shall prepare and forward to the Agent and each Managing Agent on the Tuesday of each week thereafter for the immediately preceding calendar week, a Weekly Report with respect to the calendar week most recently ended, which report shall be in addition to any required or requested Monthly Report. If on any date, less than two of S&P, Moody’s and Fitch are then maintaining senior unsecured long-term debt ratings on Cardinal of at least BB (as determined by S&P and Fitch) or Ba2 (as determined by Moody’s), the Servicer shall prepare and forward to the Agent and each Managing Agent on each Business Day thereafter, a Daily Report with respect to the immediately preceding Business Day or such other Business Day determined by the Agent, which report shall be in addition to any required or requested Monthly Report.

Section 8.6 Servicing Fees. In consideration of Griffin’s agreement to act as Servicer hereunder, the Purchasers hereby agree that, so long as Griffin continues to perform as Servicer hereunder, Seller will pay over to Griffin on the 20th calendar day of each month, in arrears for the preceding Calculation Period (as defined in the Receivables Sale Agreement), a fee (the “Servicing Fee”) equal to 1.00% per annum of the average aggregate Outstanding Balance of all Receivables during such period, as compensation for its servicing activities.

(v) shall change the amount of capital maintained or required or requested or directed to be maintained by any Affected Party;

and the result of any of the foregoing is or would be, in each case, as determined by the applicable LC Bank or Managing Agent:

(A) to increase the cost to (or impose a cost on) (1) an Affected Party funding or making, issuing or maintaining any purchases or Reinvestments, any Letter of Credit or



participation therein, 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) a Financial Institution or a LC Bank for continuing its or Seller’s 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) 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 Purchaser Interest, or arising in connection herewith (or therewith) to a level below that which such Affected Party could otherwise have achieved hereunder or thereunder,

then upon demand by such Managing Agent or LC Bank, Seller shall pay to such Managing Agent or LC Bank, for benefit of the relevant Affected Party, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Party for such additional or increased cost or such reduction; provided, however, that such fee, expense, increased cost or reduction is applicable generally to the class of institutions of which such Affected Party is a member; provided, further, however that no failure to make such demand shall adversely affect the rights of any such Affected Party to such compensation except as provided in the next sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall not be required to compensate an Affected Party for any such additional or increased cost or reduction suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Affected Party (or its Managing Agent on its behalf) notifies the Seller of such Affected Party’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that if a Regulatory Change or a Specified Regulation giving rise to such additional or increased cost or reduction is retroactive, then the nine month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

(b) In determining any amount provided for or referred to in this Section 10.2, no Managing Agent may claim or receive, on behalf of the Affected Parties in, or related to, its Purchaser Group, reimbursement or compensation for amounts under this Section 10.2 that would result in (i) the total compensation (inclusive of Yield and fees and after giving effect to the payment of such amounts under this Section 10.2 and imposition of the related additional or increased costs or reduction in the rate of return on Capital) received, in the aggregate, by all such Affected Parties, exceeding (ii) the total compensation (inclusive of Yield and fees) that would have been payable to all such Affected Parties immediately prior to such Regulatory Change or Specified Regulation, as the case may be. Subject to the nine-month limitation set forth in the last sentence of Section 10.2(a), amounts payable by Seller under this Section 10.2(b) may be demanded at any time without regard to the timing of issuance of any financial statement by any Affected Party.

Section 10.3 Other Costs and Expenses. Subject to any written agreement between the Agent or a Purchaser, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, to the contrary, Seller will pay to the Agent, each Managing Agent and each Purchaser on demand all reasonable costs and out-of-pocket expenses in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby and the other documents to be delivered hereunder, including without limitation, the cost of any Purchaser’s auditors auditing the books, records and procedures of Seller, reasonable fees and



out-of-pocket expenses of legal counsel for each Purchaser, each Managing Agent and the Agent (which such counsel may be employees of any Purchaser, any Managing Agent or the Agent) with respect thereto and with respect to advising any Purchaser, any Managing Agent and the Agent as to their respective rights and remedies under this Agreement. Seller will pay to the Agent, each Managing Agent and each Purchaser on demand any and all reasonable costs and expenses of the Agent, the Managing Agents and the Purchasers, if any, including reasonable counsel fees and expenses in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and any other documents delivered hereunder and in connection with (i) any amendment, modification, or waiver of this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any Funding Agreement or (ii) the restructuring, workout or administration of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents following an Amortization Event; provided, that the Agent, each Managing Agent and each Purchaser agree that, with respect to counsel fees and expenses incurred in connection with clause (i) of this Section 10.3, unless an Amortization Event has occurred and is continuing, all of such entities will be represented by a single law firm.

Section 10.4    Taxes.

(a) All payments by or on account of the Seller or the Servicer hereunder or under any Transaction Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all Taxes, except as required by applicable Law. If any Law shall require the deduction or withholding of any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any Transaction Document, (i) except to the extent such Taxes are attributable to the applicable Affected Party’s failure to comply with Section 10.4(d), the sum payable by the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 10.4) the applicable Affected Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, shall make such deductions, (iii) the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant authority in accordance with applicable Law and (iv) the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, shall furnish to the Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt or other documentation reasonably acceptable to the Agent evidencing payment thereof within thirty (30) days after such payment is made.

(b) In addition, the Seller hereby agrees to pay any present or future stamp, court, documentary, intangible, recording, filing or similar Taxes and any other excise or property Taxes, charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made under, from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or registration of, from the receipt under, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any Transaction Document (“Other Taxes”).

(c) The Seller hereby agrees to indemnify each Affected Party for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed on amounts payable under this Section 10.4) withheld or deducted on payments to, or paid by, such Affected Party and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Seller shall not be obligated to indemnify any Affected Party for any Taxes or any liability arising therefrom or with respect thereto to the extent such Taxes or liabilities are attributable to such Affected Party’s failure to comply with Section 10.4(d). Payments due under this indemnification shall be made within 30 days of the date the applicable Affected Party makes demand therefor pursuant to clause (f) of this Section 10.4.

(d) Any Affected Party that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments under this Agreement or any Transaction Document pursuant to the Law of any relevant jurisdiction shall deliver to each of Seller, the Servicer and the Agent, at the time or times



prescribed by applicable Law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding sentence, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 10.4(d)(i), (ii) and (iii)) shall not be required if in the Affected Party’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Affected Party to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Affected Party. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(i)    Each Affected Party this is a “United States person” as defined in Section
7701(a)(30) of the Code (each a “U.S. Affected Party”), on or prior to November 6, 2012 (or, in the case of any such U.S. Affected Party that is not a party hereto on such date, on or prior to the date on which such U.S. Affected Party first becomes entitled to any payment under this Agreement or any Transaction Document), shall deliver to each of Seller, the Servicer and the Agent, a duly completed and executed copy of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying that such U.S. Affected Party is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding Tax.

(ii) Each Affected Party that is not a “United States person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (each a “Non-U.S. Affected Party), on or prior to November 6, 2012 (or, in the case of any such Non-U.S. Affected Party that is not a party hereto on such date, on or prior to the date on which such Non-U.S. Affected Party first becomes entitled to any payment under this Agreement or any Transaction Document), shall deliver to Seller, the Servicer and the Agent (A) a duly completed and executed copy of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN certifying that such Affected Party is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement from the Seller, the Servicer and the Agent without deduction or withholding of any U.S. federal withholding Taxes; (B) a duly completed and executed copy of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI certifying that such Affected Party is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement from the Seller, the Servicer and the Agent without deduction or withholding of any U.S. federal withholding Taxes; or (C) if such Non-U.S. Affected Party is not the beneficial owner, a duly completed and executed copy of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY, accompanied by duly completed and executed copies of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8ECI, W-8BEN, W-9 and/or other certification documents from the beneficial owners, as applicable. Each Non-U.S. Affected Party, on or prior to November 6, 2012 (or, in the case of any such Non-U.S. Affected Party that is not a party hereto on such date, on or prior to the date on which such Non-U.S. Affected Party first becomes entitled to any payment under this Agreement or any Transaction Document), shall deliver to Seller, the Servicer and the Agent a duly completed and executed copy of any other form or documentation prescribed by applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding Tax, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Law to permit Seller, the Servicer and the Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

(iii) If a payment made to an Affected Party under any Transaction Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Affected Party were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Affected Party shall deliver to the Seller and the Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Seller or the Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Seller or the Agent as may be necessary for the Seller and the Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Affected Party has complied



with such Affected Party’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (h), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this
Agreement.

Each Affected Party shall promptly deliver to each of Seller, the Servicer and the Agent updates, renewals or additional copies, duly completed and executed, of any form or other documentation (or any successor thereto) contemplated by this Section 10.4(d) (A) from time to time as reasonably requested by Seller, the Servicer or the Agent, and (B) on or before the date that such form or other documentation expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate.

(e) Without limiting Section 11.6, each Financial Institution, LC Bank and Managing Agent shall severally indemnify the Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Taxes attributable to such Financial Institution or LC Bank (or to any member of its Purchaser Group or any related Affected Party) (but only to the extent that neither the Seller nor the Servicer has already indemnified the Agent for such Taxes pursuant to this Section 10.4 and without limiting the obligation of the Seller or the Servicer to do so), and (ii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Financial Institution, LC Bank or Managing Agent (or to any member of its Purchaser Group or any related Affected Party), in each case, that are payable or paid by the Agent in connection with any Transaction Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Financial Institution, LC Bank or Managing Agent by the Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Purchaser and Managing Agent hereby authorizes the Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Purchaser or Managing Agent under any Transaction Document or otherwise payable by the Agent to such Purchaser or Managing Agent from any other source against any amount due to the Agent under this clause (e).

(f) Each Managing Agent shall deliver a written statement to Seller, the Servicer and the Agent as to the amount due, if any, to the Purchasers in its Purchaser Group and any related Affected Parties under this Section 10.4. Such written statement shall set forth in reasonable detail the calculations upon which such Managing Agent determined such amount and shall be final, conclusive and binding on Seller, the Servicer and the Agent in the absence of manifest error. Unless otherwise provided herein, the amount specified in such written statement shall be payable on demand after receipt by the Seller of such written statement.

(g) If any party determines, in its sole discretion (exercised in good faith), that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 10.4 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 10.4), it shall pay to such indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such indemnifying party under this Section 10.4 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the indemnifying party, upon the request of the indemnified party, agrees to repay the amount paid over to it pursuant to this clause (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such indemnified party in the event such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This clause (g) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to any other party or Person. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event will any indemnified party be required to pay any amount pursuant to this clause (g) the payment of



which would place such indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been if the Taxes subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid.

(h) Each party’s obligations under this Section 10.4 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, an Affected Party, subject to the provisions of Section 11.8 and Section 12.1, respectively, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Transaction Document.

ARTICLE XI.
THE AGENT

Section 11.1 Authorization and Action. Each Purchaser hereby designates and appoints BTMUNY to act as its agent hereunder and under each other Transaction Document, and authorizes the Agent to take such actions as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein or in any other Transaction Document, or any fiduciary relationship with any Purchaser, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities on the part of the Agent shall be read into this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or otherwise exist for the Agent. In performing its functions and duties hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents, the Agent shall act solely as agent for the Purchasers and does not assume nor shall be deemed to have assumed any obligation or relationship of trust or agency with or for any Seller Party or any of such Seller Party’s successors or assigns. The Agent shall not be required to take any action that exposes the Agent to personal liability or that is contrary to this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or applicable law. The appointment and authority of the Agent hereunder shall terminate upon the indefeasible payment in full of all Aggregate Unpaids. Each Purchaser hereby authorizes the Agent to file each of the Uniform Commercial Code financing or continuation statements (and amendments thereto and assignments or terminations thereof) on behalf of such Purchaser (the terms of which shall be binding on such Purchaser).

Section 11.2 Delegation of Duties. The Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and each other Transaction Document by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

Section 11.3 Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (except for its, their or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Purchasers for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Seller Party contained in this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received under or in connection with, this Agreement, or any other Transaction Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement, or any other Transaction Document or any other document furnished in connection herewith or therewith, or for any failure of any Seller Party to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder, or for the satisfaction of any condition specified in Article VI, or for the perfection, priority, condition, value or sufficiency of any collateral pledged in connection herewith. The Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Purchaser to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any



of the agreements or covenants contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Seller Parties. The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Amortization Event or Potential Amortization Event unless the Agent has received notice from Seller or a Purchaser.

Section 11.4 Reliance by Agent. The Agent shall in all cases be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to Seller), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Agent. The Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Financial Institutions or all of the Purchasers, as applicable, as it deems appropriate and it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Purchasers, provided that unless and until the Agent shall have received such advice, the Agent may take or refrain from taking any action, as the Agent shall deem advisable and in the best interests of the Purchasers. The Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, in accordance with a request of the Required Financial Institutions or all of the Purchasers, as applicable, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Purchasers.

Section 11.5 Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Purchasers. Each Purchaser expressly acknowledges that neither the Agent, nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Agent hereafter taken, including, without limitation, any review of the affairs of any Seller Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Agent. Each Purchaser represents and warrants to the Agent that it has and will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Purchaser and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, prospects, financial and other conditions and creditworthiness of Seller and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and all other documents related hereto or thereto.

Section 11.6 Reimbursement and Indemnification. Each Financial Institution and each Managing Agent agrees to reimburse and indemnify the Agent and its officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents ratably based on the ratio of each such indemnifying Financial Institution’s commitment to the aggregate Commitment (or, in the case of an indemnifying Managing Agent, ratably based on the Commitment(s) of each Financial Institution in such Managing Agent’s Purchaser Group to the aggregate Commitment), to the extent not paid or reimbursed by the Seller Parties (i) for any amounts for which the Agent, acting in its capacity as Agent, is entitled to reimbursement by the Seller Parties hereunder and (ii) except with respect to any expenses arising out of the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Agent (to the extent a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction holds that the Agent was grossly negligent or engaged in willful misconduct), for any other expenses incurred by the Agent, in its capacity as Agent and acting on behalf of the Purchasers, in connection with the administration and enforcement of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

Section 11.7 Agent in its Individual Capacity. The Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with Seller or any Affiliate of Seller as though the Agent were not the Agent hereunder. With respect to the acquisition of Purchaser Interests pursuant to this Agreement, the Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement in its individual capacity as any Purchaser and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent, and the terms “Financial Institution,” “Purchaser,” “Related Financial Institution,” “Financial Institutions,”



“Purchasers,” and “Related Financial Institutions” shall include the Agent in its individual capacity.

Section 11.8 Successor Agent. The Agent may, upon five days’ notice to Seller and the Purchasers and with the consent of Seller (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), and the Agent will, upon the direction of all of the Purchasers (other than the Agent, in its individual capacity) and with the consent of Seller (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), resign as Agent. If the Agent shall resign, then the Required Financial Institutions during such five-day period shall appoint from among the Purchasers and the Managing Agents a successor agent. If for any reason no successor Agent is appointed by the Required Financial Institutions during such five-day period, then effective upon the termination of such five-day period, the Purchasers shall perform all of the duties of the Agent hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents and Seller and the Servicer (as applicable) shall make all payments in respect of the Aggregate Unpaids directly to the applicable Purchasers and for all purposes shall deal directly with the Purchasers. After the effectiveness of any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents and the provisions of this Article XI and Article X shall continue in effect for its benefit with respect to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement and under the other Transaction Documents.

ARTICLE XII.
ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATIONS

Section 12.1 Assignments. (a) Seller, the Agent, each Managing Agent, each LC Bank and each Financial Institution hereby agree and consent to the complete or partial assignment by any Conduit of all or any portion of its rights under, interest in, title to and/or obligations under this Agreement (or interests therein) to the Financial Institutions pursuant to any Funding Agreement or to any other Person, and upon such assignment, such Conduit shall be released from its obligations so assigned. Further, Seller and each Financial Institution hereby agree that any assignee of any Conduit of this Agreement or of all or any of the Purchaser Interests of any Conduit shall have all of the rights and benefits under this Agreement as if the term “Conduit” explicitly referred to and included such party (provided that (i) the Purchaser Interests of any such assignee that is a Conduit or a commercial paper conduit shall accrue CP Costs based on such assignee’s CP Rate, and (ii) the Purchaser Interests of any other such assignee shall accrue Yield pursuant to Section 4.1), and no such assignment shall in any way impair the rights and benefits of any Conduit hereunder. Neither Seller nor the Servicer shall have the right to assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement.

(b) Any Financial Institution may at any time and from time to time, upon notice to the Agent and Seller, assign to one or more Persons (“Purchasing Financial Institutions”) all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to an assignment agreement, substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit VI hereto (the “Assignment Agreement”) executed by such Purchasing Financial Institution and such selling Financial Institution. Each assignee of a Financial Institution must (i) have a short-term debt rating of A-1 or better by S&P and P-1 by Moody’s, and (ii) be approved by the Agent, each LC Bank and the Seller (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that no such approval of the Seller shall be required (but, for the avoidance of doubt, such approval of the Agent and the LC Banks shall be required in any event) (A) in the event that Seller does not approve of the proposed Purchasing Financial Institution and Seller, the Agent, such Conduit and the selling Financial Institution fail to agree on an alternative funding entity within 15 days after the selling Financial Institution gives notice pursuant to this Section 12.1(b) of the proposed assignment or (B) if an Amortization Event or a Potential Amortization Event shall have occurred and is continuing. Upon delivery of the executed Assignment Agreement to the Agent, such selling Financial Institution shall be released from its obligations



hereunder (including, without limitation, the applicable obligations of a Related Financial Institution) to the extent of such assignment. Thereafter the Purchasing Financial Institution shall for all purposes be a Financial Institution party to this Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Financial Institution under this Agreement to the same extent as if it were an original party hereto and no further consent or action by Seller, the Purchasers, the Managing Agents or the Agent shall be required.

(c) In the event that any Financial Institution shall cease to have a short-term debt rating of A-1 or better by S&P and P-1 by Moody’s (an “Affected Financial Institution”), such Affected Financial Institution and its related Conduit shall be obligated, upon ten (10) Business Days prior written request of the Seller, to sell and assign all of their respective rights and obligations under the Transaction Documents (including their Capital) (i) to any other Financial Institution selected by the Seller that is (x) a party to this Agreement, (y) not an Affected Financial Institution and (z) willing, in such Financial Institution’s sole discretion, to purchase and assume such rights and obligations (it being understood and agreed that no Financial Institution shall have any obligation to purchase or assume any such rights or obligations of any other Financial Institution or Conduit), or (ii) if no other Financial Institution then meets the criteria specified in clause (i) above or no Financial Institution agrees to purchase the Affected Financial Institution’s rights and obligations under the Transaction Documents, to any other commercial bank selected by the Seller and acceptable to the Agent and each LC Bank (such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld) with short-term debt ratings of A-1 or better by S&P and P-1 by Moody’s, which commercial bank is willing to purchase and assume such rights and obligations; provided that the Affected Financial Institution, its related Conduit, their Managing Agent and any other related Affected Parties receive payment in full, pursuant to an
Assignment Agreement, of all amounts then owing to them under the Transaction Documents (including, without limitation, all their outstanding Capital, accrued Yield, any fees accrued under the Fee Letter); and provided, further, that any such sale and assignment shall be made pursuant to an Assignment Agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, each LC Bank and the Seller; and provided, further, that if the Affected Financial Institution or any Affiliate thereof is the Agent, another Person shall have been appointed as a successor Agent in accordance with Section 11.8.

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

(e) The Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Seller, shall maintain at one of its offices in New York a copy of each Assignment Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Purchasers, and the Commitments of, and amount of Capital owing to, each Purchaser pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Seller, the Servicer, the Agent and each Affected Party shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Purchaser hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by Seller, the Servicer and any Affected Party at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

Section 12.2 Participations. Any Financial Institution may, in the ordinary course of its business at any time sell to one or more Persons (each a “Participant”) participating interests in its Pro Rata Share of the Purchaser Interests of the Financial Institutions in such Financial Institution’s Purchaser Group or



any other interest of such Financial Institution hereunder. Notwithstanding any such sale by a Financial Institution of a participating interest to a Participant, such Financial Institution’s rights and obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Financial Institution shall remain solely responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and Seller, each Purchaser, each Managing Agent and the Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Financial Institution in connection with such Financial Institution’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Each Financial Institution agrees that any agreement between such Financial Institution and any such Participant in respect of such participating interest shall not restrict such Financial Institution’s right to agree to any amendment, supplement, waiver or modification to this Agreement, except for any amendment, supplement, waiver or modification described in Section 14.1(b)(i). Each Financial Institution that sells a participating interest shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Seller, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the amount of each Participant’s participating interest in the Purchaser Interests or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Financial Institution shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to Seller, the Servicer, the
Agent or any other Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s participating interest in the Purchaser Interests or other obligations) except to the extent such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Purchaser Interests or other obligations are in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the U.S. Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Financial Institution shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining the Participant Register.

ARTICLE XIII.
MANAGING AGENTS

Section 13.1 Managing Agents. Each Purchaser Group shall designate a “Managing Agent” hereunder, which Managing Agent shall become a party to this Agreement. Unless otherwise notified in writing to the contrary by the applicable Purchaser, the Agent and the Seller Parties shall provide all notices and payments specified to be made by the Agent or any Seller Party to a Purchaser hereunder to such Purchaser’s Managing Agent, if any, for the benefit of such Purchaser, instead of to such Purchaser. Each Managing Agent may perform any of the obligations of, or exercise any of the rights of, any member of its Purchaser Group and such performance or exercise shall constitute performance of the obligations of, or exercise of the rights of, such member hereunder. Each member of the BTMU Conduit’s Purchaser Group hereby designates BTMUNY, and BTMUNY hereby agrees to perform the duties and obligations of, such Purchaser Group’s Managing Agent.

ARTICLE XIV. MISCELLANEOUS

Section 14.1 Waivers and Amendments. (a) No failure or delay on the part of any party to this Agreement in exercising any power, right or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or remedy preclude any other further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power, right or remedy. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and nonexclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law. Any waiver of this Agreement shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

Any modification or waiver made in accordance with this Section 14.1 shall apply to each of the Purchasers equally and shall be binding upon Seller, the Purchasers, the Managing Agents and the Agent.

Section 14.2 Notices. Except as provided in this Section 14.2 and in Section 1.8, all communications and notices provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including facsimile or electronic mail communication) and shall be given to the other parties hereto by facsimile, electronic mail or by overnight mail at their respective mailing or electronic mail addresses or facsimile numbers set forth on Schedule C or at such other mailing or electronic mail address or facsimile number as such Person may hereafter specify for the



purpose of notice to each of the other parties hereto. Each such notice or other communication shall be effective (i) if delivered by overnight mail, when received, and (ii) if transmitted by facsimile or electronic mail, when sent, receipt confirmed by telephone or electronic means. Seller hereby authorizes (i) the Agent and the Purchasers to effect purchases and (ii) the Agent or applicable Managing Agent to effect Tranche Period and Discount Rate selections, in each case, based on telephonic notices made by any Person whom the Agent or applicable Managing Agent in good faith believes to be acting on behalf of Seller. Seller agrees to deliver promptly to the Agent and each applicable Managing Agent a written confirmation of each telephonic notice signed by an authorized officer of Seller; provided, however, the absence of such confirmation shall not affect the validity of such notice. If the written confirmation differs from the action taken by the Agent or applicable Purchaser, the records of the Agent or applicable Managing Agent shall govern absent manifest error.

Section 14.3 Ratable Payments. If any Purchaser, whether by setoff or otherwise, has payment made to it with respect to any portion of the Aggregate Unpaids owing to such Purchaser (other than payments received pursuant to Section 10.2 or 10.3) in a greater proportion than that received by any other Purchaser entitled to receive a ratable share of such Aggregate Unpaids, such Purchaser agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase for cash without recourse or warranty a portion of such Aggregate Unpaids held by the other Purchasers so that after such purchase each Purchaser will hold its ratable proportion of such Aggregate Unpaids; provided that if all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from such Purchaser, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

Section 14.4 Protection of Ownership Interests of the Purchasers. (a) Seller agrees that from time to time, at its expense, it will promptly execute and deliver all instruments and documents, and take all actions, that may be reasonably necessary or desirable, or that the Agent may reasonably request, to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the Purchaser Interests, or to enable the Agent or the Purchasers to exercise and enforce their rights and remedies hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, Seller will, upon the request of the Agent, file (or authorize the Agent to file) such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto or assignments thereof, and execute and file such other instruments and documents, that may be necessary or desirable, or that the Agent may reasonably request, to perfect, protect or evidence such Purchaser Interest. At any time after the occurrence of a Collection Notice Event, the Agent may, or the Agent may direct Seller or the Servicer to, notify the Obligors of Receivables, at Seller’s expense, of the ownership or security interests of the Purchasers under this Agreement and may also direct that payments of all amounts due or that become due under any or all Receivables be made directly to the Agent or its designee; it being understood that the Agent shall only exercise such right after the occurrence of a Collection Notice Event notwithstanding that the terms of the Receivables Sale Agreement provide that Seller (or its assign) may notify Obligors at any time. Seller or the Servicer (as applicable) shall, at any Purchaser’s request, withhold the identity of such Purchaser in any such notification.

(b) If any Seller Party fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder, the Agent or any Purchaser may (but shall not be required to) perform, or cause performance of, such obligations, and the Agent’s or such Purchaser’s costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by Seller as provided in Section 10.3. Each Seller Party irrevocably authorizes the Agent at any time and from time to time in the sole discretion of the Agent, and appoints the Agent as its attorney-in-fact, to act on behalf of such Seller Party (i) to authorize on behalf of such Seller Party as debtor and to file financing statements or continuation statements (and amendments thereto and assignments thereof) necessary or desirable in the Agent’s sole discretion to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the interest of the Purchasers in the Receivables and (ii) to file a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement with respect to the Receivables as a financing statement in such offices as the Agent in its sole



discretion deems necessary or desirable to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the interests of the Purchasers in the Receivables. This appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable. The authorization set forth in the second sentence of this Section 14.4(b) is intended to meet all requirements for authorization by a debtor under Article 9 of any applicable enactment of the UCC, including, without limitation, Section 9-509 thereof.

Section 14.5 Confidentiality. (a) Each Seller Party and each Purchaser shall maintain and shall cause each of its employees and officers to maintain the confidentiality of this Agreement and the other confidential or proprietary information with respect to the Agent and each Purchaser and their respective businesses obtained by it or them in connection with the structuring, negotiating and execution of the transactions contemplated herein, except that such Seller Party and such Purchaser and its officers and employees may disclose such information to such Seller Party’s and such Purchaser’s external accountants and attorneys and as required by any applicable law or order of any judicial or administrative proceeding.

(b) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Seller Party hereby consents to the disclosure of any nonpublic information with respect to it (i) to the Agent, any Managing Agent, any LC Bank, any Financial Institution, any Funding Source or any Conduit by each other, (ii) by the Agent, any Managing Agent, any Funding Source or the Purchasers to any prospective or actual assignee or participant of any of them, provided, that such assignee or participant agrees to be bound by the terms of this Section 14.5 and (iii) by the Agent, any Managing Agent, any Funding Source or any Purchaser to any rating agency, Funding Source, Commercial Paper dealer or provider of a surety, guaranty or credit or liquidity enhancement to any Conduit or any entity organized for the purpose of purchasing, or making loans secured by, financial assets for which the Agent or any Managing Agent acts as the administrative agent and to any officers, directors, employees, outside accountants, advisors and attorneys of any of the foregoing, provided each such Person is informed of the confidential nature of such information. In addition, the Purchasers, any Funding Source, the Managing Agents and the Agent may disclose any such nonpublic information pursuant to any law, rule, regulation, direction, request or order of any judicial, administrative or regulatory authority or proceedings (whether or not having the force or effect of law), and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, may disclose any such nonpublic information to any nationally recognized statistical rating organization as contemplated by Section 17g-5 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Section 14.6 Bankruptcy Petition. Seller, the Servicer, each Managing Agent, the Agent and each Purchaser hereby covenants and agrees that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding senior indebtedness of any Conduit or any Funding Source that is a special purpose bankruptcy remote entity, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, any Conduit or any such entity any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or other similar proceeding under the laws of the United States or any state of the United States.

Section 14.7 Limitation of Liability. (a) Except with respect to any claim arising out of the willful misconduct or gross negligence of any Conduit, any LC Bank, the Agent, any Managing Agent or any Financial Institution, no claim may be made by any Seller Party or any other Person against any Conduit, any LC Bank, the Agent, any Managing Agent or any Financial Institution or their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, attorneys or agents for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages in respect of any claim for breach of contract or any other theory of liability arising out of or related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith; and each Seller Party hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue upon any claim for any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.




(b) Notwithstanding any provisions contained in this Agreement to the contrary, no Conduit shall, nor shall it be obligated to, pay any amount pursuant to this Agreement unless (i) such Conduit has received funds which may be used to make such payment and which funds are not required to repay its Commercial Paper when due and (ii) after giving effect to such payment, either (x) such Conduit could issue Commercial Paper to refinance all of its outstanding Commercial Paper (assuming such outstanding Commercial Paper matured at such time) in accordance with the program documents governing such Conduit’s securitization program or (y) all of such Conduit’s Commercial Paper is paid in full. Any amount which such Conduit does not pay pursuant to the operation of the preceding sentence shall not constitute a claim (as defined in §101 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code) against or corporate obligation of such Conduit for any such insufficiency unless and until such Conduit satisfies the provisions of clauses (i) and (ii) above. This paragraph (b) shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

NOTHING HEREIN SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT OF THE AGENT, ANY MANAGING AGENT OR ANY PURCHASER TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST ANY SELLER PARTY IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING BY ANY SELLER PARTY AGAINST THE AGENT, ANY MANAGING AGENT OR ANY PURCHASER OR ANY AFFILIATE OF THE AGENT, ANY MANAGING AGENT OR ANY PURCHASER INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENT EXECUTED BY SUCH SELLER PARTY PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE BROUGHT ONLY IN A COURT IN CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.

Section 14.11 Integration; Binding Effect; Survival of Terms.

Any provisions of this Agreement which are prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Unless otherwise expressly indicated, all references herein to “Article,” “Section,” “Schedule” or “Exhibit” shall mean articles and sections of, and schedules and exhibits to, this Agreement.

Section 14.14 Characterization. (a) It is the intention of the parties hereto that each purchase hereunder shall constitute and be treated as an absolute and irrevocable sale, which purchase shall provide the applicable Purchaser with the full benefits of ownership of the applicable Purchaser Interest.

(a) Upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, each reference to the Existing Agreement in any other Transaction Document, and any document, instrument or agreement executed and/or delivered in connection with the Existing Agreement or any other Transaction Document, shall mean and be a reference to this Agreement.

(b) The other Transaction Documents and all agreements, instruments and documents executed or delivered in connection with the Existing Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall each be deemed to be amended to the extent necessary, if any, to give effect to the provisions of this Agreement, as the same may be amended, modified, supplemented or restated from time to time.

(c) The effect of this Agreement is to amend and restate the Existing Agreement in its entirety, and to the extent that any rights, benefits or provisions in favor of the Agent or any Purchaser existed in the Existing Agreement and continue to exist in this Agreement without any written waiver of any such rights, benefits or provisions prior to the date hereof, then such rights, benefits or provisions are acknowledged to be and to continue to be effective from and after June

Each of Seller, the Servicer, each Purchaser, each Managing Agent and the Agent agrees that each Conduit shall be liable for any claims that such party may have against such Conduit only to the extent that such Conduit has funds in excess of those funds necessary to pay matured and maturing Commercial Paper and to the extent such excess funds are insufficient to satisfy the obligations of such Conduit hereunder, such Conduit shall have no liability with respect to any amount of such obligations remaining unpaid and such unpaid amount shall not constitute a claim against such Conduit. Any and all claims against any Conduit shall be subordinate to the claims against such Conduit of the holders of Commercial Paper and any Person providing liquidity support to such Conduit.

Section 14.17 Patriot Act. Each of the Agent and the Purchasers hereby notifies you that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, Title III of Pub.
