AGREEMENT TO PURCHASE, SELL AND CONTRIBUTE
SECTION 2.1 Purchase, Sale and Contribution. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, each Originator hereby sells or contributes, as applicable, to the Buyer, and the Buyer hereby purchases or acquires from each Originator, as applicable, all of such Originators right, title and interest in, to and under the Receivables and the Related Assets, in each case whether now existing or hereafter arising, acquired, or originated.
SECTION 2.2 Timing of Purchases. All of the Receivables existing at the opening of each Originators business on the Closing Date are hereby sold or contributed, as applicable, to the Buyer on such date in accordance with the terms hereof. All of the Receivables originated by any Originator on any date after the Closing Date until the Purchase and Sale Termination Date
2
shall be sold or contributed, as applicable, to the Buyer on such date in accordance with the terms hereof. With respect to any Receivables that are sold to the Buyer, the Buyer shall pay to the applicable Originator on the date of such sale the applicable Purchase Price for such Receivables in immediately available funds; provided, however, to the extent that the Buyer does not have funds available to pay the Purchase Price due on the sale date in cash (such cash insufficiency being a Deferred Payment), the Buyer shall pay the Deferred Payment by (a) in the case of Dayforce Licensing, treating the Deferred Payment as a capital contribution, as provided in Section 2.3(e) below or (b) in the case of any other Originator, increasing the principal amount of the Subordinated Note in favor of such Originator, as provided in Section 2.3(e) below. On and after the Closing Date until the Purchase and Sale Termination Date, each Receivable shall be deemed to have been sold or contributed to the Buyer immediately (and without further action by any Person) upon the creation or acquisition of such Receivable by the related Originator. The Related Assets with respect to each Receivable shall be sold or contributed at the same time as such Receivable, whether such Related Assets exist at such time or arise, are acquired or are originated thereafter.
SECTION 2.3 Purchase Price. (a) The purchase price (Purchase Price) for the Receivables and the Related Assets shall equal the fair market value of the Receivables and the Related Assets (taking into account a discount for the time value of money, historic and expected losses and each Originators obligations pursuant to Section 3.2) as agreed by the applicable Originator and the Buyer at the time of purchase or acquisition. The Purchase Price shall not be adjusted or modified after the applicable purchase date.
(b) On the date hereof, Dayforce Licensing shall contribute Receivables and the Related Assets to the Buyer as a capital contribution in the amount of the Required Capital Amount.
(c) Other than in the case of any contribution of Receivables and Related Assets to the Buyer in accordance with Section 2.3(b), the Buyer shall pay the related Originator the Purchase Price with respect to each Receivable and the Related Assets, created or acquired by such Originator and transferred to the Buyer hereunder as set forth above by transfer of funds, to the extent that the Buyer has funds available for that purpose after satisfying the Buyers obligations under the Receivables Purchase Agreement.
(d) In the case of Dayforce Licensing, to the extent that any portion of the Purchase Price arising on any day remains unpaid after giving effect to the amount paid in cash by the Buyer as provided in Section 2.3(c) above, Dayforce Licensing shall treat related Receivables and Related Assets (or portions thereof) allocable to such unpaid portion of the Purchase Price to have been transferred by Dayforce Licensing to the Buyer as a capital contribution, in return for an increase in the value of the equity interest in the Buyer held by Dayforce Licensing.
(e) In the case of any Originator (other than Dayforce Licensing), to the extent that any portion of the Purchase Price owing to such Originator and arising on any day remains unpaid after giving effect to the amount paid in cash by the Buyer to such Originator as provided in Section 2.3(c) above, the Buyer shall (i) execute and deliver in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit 2.3(e), a subordinated promissory note
3
(each, a Subordinated Note) in a principal amount equal to such Deferred Payment and payable to the related Originator or (ii) if the Subordinated Note for such Originator is outstanding at such time, increase the principal amount of such Subordinated Note by the principal amount of such Deferred Payment; provided, that the aggregate principal amount of the Subordinated Notes shall not at any time exceed or be permitted to exceed an amount that would render the Sellers Net Worth less than the Required Capital Amount. The Servicers shall make all appropriate record keeping entries with respect to the Subordinated Notes to reflect the aggregate principal amount outstanding under each Subordinated Note. The applicable Servicers books and records shall constitute rebuttable presumptive evidence of the aggregate principal amount outstanding under each Subordinated Note. Each Originator hereby irrevocably authorizes the applicable Servicer to mark the Subordinated Note CANCELED and to return the Subordinated Note to the Buyer upon the final payment thereof after the occurrence of the Purchase and Sale Termination Date. Each Originator acknowledges that it has received a copy of its Subordinated Note and agrees to be bound by, and to comply with, all the terms of such Subordinated Note, including, without limitation, the Subordination Provisions.
(f) In addition to contributions of Receivables and Related Assets by Dayforce Licensing to the Buyer hereunder, Dayforce Licensing may also, at its option in its sole discretion, contribute cash to the Buyer in return for an increase in the value of the equity interest in the Buyer held by Dayforce Licensing. The U.S. Trade Servicer shall evidence Dayforces election to treat all or any portion of a Deferred Payment as a capital contribution by recording it as such on the books and records of the Buyer as maintained by the U.S. Trade Servicer, and no further notice or acceptance of any such contribution shall be necessary. Dayforce Licensing, the U.S. Trade Servicer and the Buyer shall each record on its respective books and records any capital contribution made by Dayforce Licensing to the Buyer promptly following its occurrence.
SECTION 2.4 No Recourse or Assumption of Obligations. Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, the sale or contribution, as applicable, of Receivables and Related Assets under this Agreement shall be without recourse to any Originator. Each Originator and the Buyer intend the transactions hereunder to constitute absolute and irrevocable true sales or valid contributions of Receivables and the Related Assets by each Originator to the Buyer, providing the Buyer with the full risks and benefits of ownership of the Receivables and Related Assets (such that the Receivables and the Related Assets would not be property of any Originators estate in the event of such Originators bankruptcy).
None of the Buyer, the Administrative Agent, the Purchaser Parties or the other Affected Persons shall have any obligation or liability under any Receivables or Related Assets, nor shall the Buyer, the Administrative Agent, any Purchaser Party or the other Affected Persons have any obligation or liability to any Obligor or other customer or client of any Originator (including any obligation to perform any of the obligations of any Originator under any Receivables or Related Assets) or to any Servicer.

SECTION 3.5 Originator Accounts. Each Servicer and each Originator hereby acknowledge and agree that neither any Servicer nor any Originator has any right, title or interest in any Collections on deposit in any Originator Account.

(a) No payment or other distribution of the Buyers assets of any kind or character, whether in cash, securities, or other rights or property, shall be made on account of this Note except to the extent such payment or other distribution is either (i) permitted under the Receivables Purchase Agreement or (ii) made pursuant to Sections 4 or 6 of this Note.
(b) (i) In the event of any Event of Bankruptcy involving Buyer, and (ii) on and after the occurrence of the Purchase and Sale Termination Date, the Senior Interests shall first be indefeasibly paid and performed in full and in cash before the Holder shall be entitled to receive and to retain any payment or distribution in respect of this Note. In order to implement the foregoing: (A) all payments and distributions of any kind or character in respect of this Note to which the Holder would be entitled except for this subsection 7(b) shall be made directly to the
Exhibit 2.3(e), Page 2
Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Senior Interest Holders); (B) if the Holder shall timely file a claim or claims in any Event of Bankruptcy for any outstanding amount owed under this Note (and if the Holder does not timely do so, the Administrative Agent may), all payments and other distributions in respect thereof shall be made directly to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Senior Interest Holders) until the Senior Interests shall have been paid and performed in full and in cash and (C) the Holder hereby irrevocably agrees that Administrative Agent, in the name of the Holder or otherwise, may demand, sue for, collect, receive and receipt for any and all such payments or distributions, and file, prove and vote or consent in any such Event of Bankruptcy with respect to any and all claims of the Holder relating to this Note, in each case until the Senior Interests shall have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full and in cash. All payments and distributions received by Administrative Agent in respect of this Note, to the extent received in or converted into cash, may be applied by Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Senior Interest Holders) first, to the payment of any and all expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys fees and other legal expenses) paid or incurred by Administrative Agent or the Senior Interest Holders in enforcing these Subordination Provisions, or in endeavoring to collect or realize upon the Junior Liabilities, and second, any balance thereof shall, solely as between any Holder (including Company hereunder) and the Senior Interest Holders, be applied by Administrative Agent toward the payment of the Senior Interests in a manner determined by Administrative Agent to be in accordance with the Receivables Purchase Agreement; but as between the Buyer and its creditors, no such payments or distributions of any kind or character shall be deemed to be payments or distributions in respect of the Senior Interests.
(c) In the event that the Holder receives any payment or other distribution of any kind or character from the Buyer or from any other source whatsoever, in respect of this Note, other than as expressly permitted by the terms of this Note, such payment or other distribution shall be received in trust for the Senior Interest Holders and shall immediately be turned over in cash by the Holder to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Senior Interest Holders) until the Senior Interests have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full and in cash.
(d) Upon the indefeasible payment in full and in cash of all Senior Interests, the Holder shall be subrogated to the rights of the Senior Interest Holders to receive payments or distributions from the Buyer that are applicable to the Senior Interests until this Note is paid in full and in cash.
(e) These Subordination Provisions are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Holder, on the one hand, and the Senior Interest Holders, on the other hand. Nothing contained in these Subordination Provisions or elsewhere in this Note is intended to or shall impair, as between the Buyer, its creditors (other than the Senior Interest Holders) and the Holder, the Buyers obligation, which is unconditional and absolute, to pay this Note as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof and of the Purchase and Sale Agreement or to affect the relative rights of the Holder and creditors of the Buyer (other than the Senior Interest Holders).
(f) Each Holder shall not, until the Senior Interests have been indefeasibly paid in full and in cash: (i) cancel, waive, forgive, transfer or assign, or commence legal proceedings to enforce or collect, or subordinate to any obligation of the Buyer, howsoever created, arising or evidenced, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, or now or hereafter existing, or due or to become due, other than the Senior Interests, this Note, or any rights in respect thereof or (ii) convert this Note into an equity interest in Buyer, unless, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) above, the Holder shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.
Exhibit 2.3(e), Page 3
(g) Each Holder shall not commence, or join with any other Person in commencing, any proceedings related to an Event of Bankruptcy with respect to the Buyer until at least one year and one day shall have passed since the Senior Interests shall have been indefeasibly paid in full and in cash.
(h) If, at any time, any payment (in whole or in part) made with respect to any Senior Interest is rescinded or must be restored or returned by a Senior Interest Holder (whether in connection with any Event of Bankruptcy or otherwise), these Subordination Provisions shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, as though such payment had not been made.
(i) Each of the Senior Interest Holders may, from time to time, at its sole discretion, without notice or demand to the Holder, and without waiving any of its rights under these Subordination Provisions, take any or all of the following actions: (i) retain or obtain an interest in any property securing any of the Senior Interests pursuant to, and to the extent set forth in, the Transaction Documents; (ii) retain or obtain the primary or secondary obligations of any other obligor or obligors with respect to any of the Senior Interests; (iii) extend or renew for one or more periods (whether or not longer than the original period), alter or exchange any of the Senior Interests, or release or compromise any obligation of any nature with respect to any of the Senior Interests in accordance with the Transaction Documents; (iv) amend, supplement, or otherwise modify any Transaction Document in accordance with the terms thereof; and (v) release its security interest in, or surrender, release or permit any substitution or exchange for all or any part of any rights or property securing any of the Senior Interests, or extend or renew for one or more periods (whether or not longer than the original period), or release, compromise, alter or exchange any obligations of any nature of any obligor with respect to any such rights or property.
(j) The Holder agrees that this Note shall be pari-passu with all other Junior Liabilities.
(k) The Holder hereby waives: (i) notice of acceptance of these Subordination Provisions by any of the Senior Interest Holders; (ii) notice of the existence, creation, non-payment or non-performance of all or any of the Senior Interests; and (iii) all diligence in enforcement, collection or protection of, or realization upon the Senior Interests, or any thereof, or any security therefor.
(l) Each of the Senior Interest Holders may, from time to time, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Transaction Documents to which such Persons are party, but without notice to the Holder, assign or transfer any or all of the Senior Interests, or any interest therein; and, notwithstanding any such assignment or transfer or any subsequent assignment or transfer thereof, such Senior Interests shall be and remain Senior Interests for the purposes of the Subordination Provisions, and every immediate and successive assignee or transferee of any of the Senior Interests or of any interest of such assignee or transferee in the Senior Interests shall be entitled to the benefits of these Subordination Provisions to the same extent as if such assignee or transferee were the assignor or transferor.
Exhibit 2.3(e), Page 4
(m) These Subordination Provisions constitute a continuing offer from the Buyer to all Persons who become the holders of, or who continue to hold, Senior Interests; and these Subordination Provisions are made for the benefit of the Senior Interest Holders, and Administrative Agent may proceed to enforce such provisions on behalf of each of such Persons.
8. Cumulative Remedies; Amendments, Etc. No failure or delay on the part of the Holder in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power or right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right. No amendment, restatement, modification or waiver of, or consent with respect to, any provision of this Note shall in any event be effective unless (a) the same shall be in writing and signed and delivered by the Buyer and the Holder and acknowledged and agreed to in writing by Administrative Agent, and (b) all consents required for such actions under the Transaction Documents shall have been received by the appropriate Persons.
9. Limitation on Interest. Notwithstanding anything in this Note to the contrary, the Buyer shall never be required to pay unearned interest on any amount outstanding hereunder, and shall never be required to pay interest on the principal amount outstanding hereunder, at a rate in excess of the maximum interest rate that may be contracted for, charged or received without violating applicable federal or state law.
10. Negotiation. This Note is not negotiable.
11. Governing Law. THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (INCLUDING SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW, BUT WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY OTHER CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS THEREOF).
