Prior to the Note Initial Increase Date or Note Balance Increase Date, as applicable, the Primary Note Purchaser shall provide the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer with the applicable Purchasers and amount being funded by each such Purchaser on such Note Initial Increase Date or Note Balance Increase Date, as applicable; provided, that (a) the identity of the Purchasers and amounts being funded may change after such notice is delivered in accordance with this sentence, and (b) nothing in such notice or delivery thereof shall (i) remove, limit or otherwise change the Primary Note Purchaser’s obligation to fund the entire Note Initial Increase or Note Balance Increase, as applicable, or (ii) impose on any listed Purchaser an obligation to fund any percentage of such Note Initial Increase or Note Balance Increase.

(d) The Issuer may reduce the Note Balance on any Payment Date by making a Note Balance Decrease in the manner specified in Section 2.08(b) of the Indenture. Any Note Balance Decrease shall be made as specified in Section 2.08(b) of the Indenture, subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein and in the Indenture.

(e) If one or more Purchasers consent and commit to fund a Note Initial Increase or a Note Balance Increase, as applicable, in accordance with Section 2.08(a) of the Indenture, the Primary Note Purchaser shall provide to the Issuer, the Administrative Agent, the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer a letter (a “Commitment Letter”) evidencing the amount and timing of such commitment substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto, with such modifications as are mutually agreed to by the Primary Note Purchaser and the Issuer. Delivery of the Commitment Letter shall solely bind the Primary Note Purchaser to fund such Note Initial Increase or Note Balance Increase, as applicable.

Section 2.05. Extensions.

If the Issuer wishes to extend the Maturity Date in effect at any time for a period of up to 364 days, it may so request in writing to the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent shall promptly forward the same to each Purchaser) no fewer than 45 days and no more than 90 days prior to the Maturity Date then in effect. No later than 15 days prior to the Maturity Date, each Purchaser will advise the Administrative Agent whether it has elected (such election to be made in its sole and absolute discretion) to extend the Maturity Date to a date which shall be no later than 364 days following the Maturity Date then in effect in accordance with the Issuer’s request and, if so extended, the Facility Turbo Date shall be as determined by the Administrative Agent and Depositor in accordance with the definition thereof. A failure on the part of any Purchaser to reply to the Administrative Agent by such time shall be construed as a denial of the requested extension. Unless each Purchaser shall have elected to grant a requested extension of the Maturity Date, the Maturity Date then in effect shall not be extended.

Section 2.06. Indemnification.

(a) Without limiting any other rights which the Administrative Agent or the Owners may have hereunder or under applicable law, the Issuer hereby agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Purchaser and their respective successors and permitted assigns and their respective officers, directors and employees (collectively, “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all damages, losses, claims, liabilities, costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees (which attorneys may be employees of the Administrative Agent or an Owner, as applicable) and disbursements (all of the foregoing being collectively referred to as “Indemnified Amounts”) awarded against or incurred by any of them in any action or proceeding between the Issuer and any of the Indemnified Parties or between any of the Indemnified Parties and any third party or otherwise arising out of or as a result of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, the ownership or maintenance, either directly or indirectly, of the Notes or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, excluding (i) Indemnified Amounts to the extent a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction holds that such Indemnified Amounts result from bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of an Indemnified Party seeking indemnification or any material breach by an Indemnified Party of its obligations hereunder or under the Transaction Documents, (ii) Indemnified Amounts arising from a claim by an Indemnified Party against another Indemnified Party or (iii) Indemnified Amounts to the extent the same include losses in respect of Receivables that are uncollectible on account of the insolvency, bankruptcy or lack of creditworthiness of the related Receivables Obligor. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject to the exclusions set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the Issuer shall indemnify each Indemnified Party for Indemnified Amounts arising out of or resulting from:

(i) reliance on any representation or warranty made by the Issuer, the Seller, the Servicer, or the Sponsor (or any of their respective officers) under or in connection with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents or any other report, certificate or other written information prepared by the Issuer or by the Servicer on its behalf delivered to any Purchaser by it pursuant hereto and thereto, which shall have been false or incorrect when made;

(ii) the failure by the Issuer to comply with any applicable law, rule or regulation with respect to the Receivables (including any tax laws) or the nonconformity of the Receivables with any such applicable law, rule or regulation;

(iii) any commingling of Collections or the failure to vest and maintain vested in the Indenture Trustee a first priority perfected security interest in the Trust Estate and the proceeds thereof, free and clear of any Lien (other than the lien of the Indenture);

(iv) the failure to file, or any delay in filing, financing statements, continuation statements or other similar instruments or documents under the UCC of any applicable jurisdiction or other applicable laws with respect to all or any part of the Trust Estate and the proceeds thereof, which failure has an adverse effect on the validity, perfected status or priority of the security granted to the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture;

(v) any dispute, claim, offset or defense (other than discharge in bankruptcy of the related Receivables Obligor) of a Receivables Obligor to the payment of any Receivables (including a defense based on the Receivables not being the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Receivables Obligor enforceable against it in accordance with its terms);

(vi) any failure by the Issuer, any Seller, the Servicer, or the Sponsor to perform its duties, covenants or obligations in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document;

(vii) any dispute, claim, offset or defense (other than discharge in bankruptcy of the related Receivables Obligor) of a Receivables Obligor to the payment of any Receivables based on the failure of the Issuer, any Seller, the Servicer, or the Sponsor to qualify to do business or file reports in a given jurisdiction; or

(viii) any litigation, investigation or proceeding, or liability claim or damage suit or other similar or related claim or action of whatever sort (except as expressly excluded above), arising out of or in connection with the Trust Estate or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

Any Indemnified Amounts payable hereunder by the Issuer will be payable solely from funds available to the Issuer for distribution pursuant to Section 8.06 of the Indenture (it being understood that, in the event that the Issuer has insufficient funds available to pay any such amounts in full on any Payment Date, the remaining unpaid amounts shall be due and payable on each subsequent Payment Date until paid in full to the extent of available funds for such purpose in accordance with Section 8.06 of the Indenture on each such Payment Date).

(b) Without limiting any other rights which the Administrative Agent or the Owners may have hereunder or under applicable law, the Depositor hereby agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Party for all Indemnified Amounts awarded against or incurred by any of them in any action or proceeding between the Depositor and any of the Indemnified Parties or between any of the Indemnified Parties and any third party or otherwise arising out of or as a result of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, the ownership or maintenance, either directly or indirectly, of the Notes or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, in each case to the extent arising out of or as a result of any breach, default or misrepresentation of the Depositor under this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, excluding (i) Indemnified Amounts to the extent a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction holds that such Indemnified Amounts result from bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of an Indemnified Party seeking indemnification or any material breach by an Indemnified Party of its obligations hereunder or under the Transaction Documents, (ii) Indemnified Amounts arising from a claim by an Indemnified Party against another Indemnified Party or (iii) Indemnified Amounts to the extent the same include losses in respect of Receivables that are uncollectible on account of the insolvency, bankruptcy or lack of creditworthiness of the related Receivables Obligor. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject to the exclusions set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the Depositor shall indemnify each Indemnified Party for Indemnified Amounts arising out of or resulting from:

(i) reliance on any representation or warranty made by the Depositor (or any of its officers) under or in connection with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents or any other report, certificate or other written information prepared by the Depositor delivered to any Purchaser or the Administrative Agent by the Depositor pursuant hereto and thereto, which shall have been false or incorrect when made;

(ii) the failure by the Depositor to comply with any applicable law, rule or regulation with respect to the Receivables (including any tax laws) or the nonconformity of the Receivables with any such applicable law, rule or regulation;

(iii) any failure by the Depositor to perform its duties, covenants or obligations in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; or

(iv) any litigation, investigation or proceeding, or liability claim or damage suit or other similar or related claim or action of whatever sort (except as expressly excluded above) relating to, arising out of or in connection with the Receivables, the Trust Estate or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents, in each case to the extent arising out of or resulting from the acts or omissions of the Depositor in violation of the provisions of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

Any Indemnified Amounts payable hereunder by the Depositor will be payable solely from funds available to the Depositor, and the remaining unpaid amounts shall be due and payable on each subsequent Payment Date until paid in full to the extent of available funds for such purpose.

(c) Without limiting any other rights which the Administrative Agent or the Owners may have hereunder or under applicable law, the Servicer hereby agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Party for all Indemnified Amounts awarded against or incurred by any of them in any action or proceeding between the Servicer (in its capacity as Servicer) and any of the Indemnified Parties or between any of the Indemnified Parties and any third party or otherwise arising out of or as a result of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, the ownership or maintenance, either directly or indirectly, of the Notes or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, in each case to the extent arising out of or as a result of any breach, default or misrepresentation of the Servicer under this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, excluding (i) Indemnified Amounts to the extent a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction holds that such Indemnified Amounts result from bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of an Indemnified Party seeking indemnification or any material breach by an Indemnified Party of its obligations hereunder or under the Transaction Documents, (ii) Indemnified Amounts arising from a claim by an Indemnified Party against another Indemnified Party or (iii) Indemnified Amounts to the extent the same include losses in respect of Receivables that are uncollectible on account of the insolvency, bankruptcy or lack of creditworthiness of the related Receivables Obligor. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject to the exclusions set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the Servicer shall indemnify each Indemnified Party for Indemnified Amounts arising out of or resulting from:

(i) reliance on any representation or warranty made by the Servicer (or any of its officers) under or in connection with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents or any other report, certificate or other written information prepared by the Servicer delivered to any Purchaser or the Administrative Agent by it pursuant hereto and thereto, which shall have been false or incorrect when made;

(ii) the failure by the Servicer to comply with any applicable law, rule or regulation with respect to the Receivables (including any tax laws);

(iii) any failure by the Servicer to perform its duties, covenants or obligations in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document;

(iv) any litigation, investigation or proceeding, or liability claim or damage suit or other similar or related claim or action of whatever sort (except as expressly excluded above) relating to, arising out of or in connection with the Receivables, the Trust Estate or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents in each case to the extent arising out of or resulting from the acts or omissions of the Servicer in violation of the provisions of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document;

(v) any dispute, claim, offset or defense (other than discharge in bankruptcy of the related Receivables Obligor) of a Receivables Obligor to the payment of any Receivables based on the failure of the Servicer to qualify to do business or file reports in a given jurisdiction; or

(vi) any commingling by the Servicer of Collections with other funds of the Servicer or any other Person (other than the Issuer).

(d) Without limiting any other rights which the Administrative Agent or the Owners may have hereunder or under applicable law, the Sponsor hereby agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Party for all Indemnified Amounts awarded against or incurred by any of them in any action or proceeding between the Sponsor (in its capacity as Sponsor) and any of the Indemnified Parties or between any of the Indemnified Parties and any third party or otherwise arising out of or as a result of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, the ownership or maintenance, either directly or indirectly, of the Notes or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, in each case to the extent arising out of or as a result of any breach, default or misrepresentation of the Sponsor under this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, excluding (i) Indemnified Amounts to the extent a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction holds that such Indemnified Amounts result from bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of an Indemnified Party seeking indemnification or any material breach by an Indemnified Party of its obligations hereunder or under the Transaction Documents, (ii) Indemnified Amounts arising from a claim by an Indemnified Party against another Indemnified Party or (iii) Indemnified Amounts to the extent the same include losses in respect of Receivables that are uncollectible on account of the insolvency, bankruptcy or lack of creditworthiness of the related Receivables Obligor. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject to the exclusions set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the Sponsor shall indemnify each Indemnified Party for Indemnified Amounts arising out of or resulting from:

(i) reliance on any representation or warranty made by the Sponsor (or any of its officers) under or in connection with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents or any other report, certificate or other written information prepared by the Sponsor delivered to any Purchaser or the Administrative Agent by the Sponsor pursuant hereto and thereto, which shall have been false or incorrect when made;

(ii) the failure by the Sponsor to comply with any applicable law, rule or regulation with respect to the Receivables (including any tax laws);

(iii) any failure by the Sponsor to perform its duties, covenants or obligations in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document;

(iv) any litigation, investigation or proceeding, or liability claim or damage suit or other similar or related claim or action of whatever sort (except as expressly excluded above) relating to, arising out of or in connection with the Receivables, the Trust Estate or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents in each case to the extent arising out of or resulting from the acts or omissions of the Sponsor in violation of the provisions of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; or

(v) the failure to file, or any delay in filing, financing statements, continuation statements or other similar instruments or documents under the UCC of any applicable jurisdiction or other applicable laws with respect to all or any part of the Trust Estate and the proceeds thereof, which failure has an adverse effect on the validity, perfected status or priority of the security granted to the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture.

(e) In the event that for any reason, (i) the basis for calculation of interest on any Conduit’s share of the Note Balance shall change from the CP Cost to the Alternative Rate, (ii) the basis for calculation of interest on a Conduit’s share of the Note Balance is the CP Cost and (a) such Conduit receives any repayment of its share of the Note Balance on a date other than a Payment Date, or (b) such Conduit does not receive repayment of its share of the Note Balance on a Payment Date when notice of a Note Balance Decrease had been given pursuant to 2.08(b) of the Indenture, or (iii) (a) any Purchaser other than a Conduit receives any repayment of its share of the Note Balance on a date other than a Payment Date, or (b) any Purchaser other than a Conduit does not receive repayment of its share of the Note Balance on a Payment Date when notice of a Note Balance Decrease had been given pursuant to 2.08(b) of the Indenture, then in any such case the Issuer agrees to indemnify each affected Purchaser against, and to promptly pay on the Payment Date in the Collection Period following demand, to such Purchaser the amount equal to any loss suffered by such Purchaser as a result of such change or such repayment, including, in the case of a Conduit, any loss, cost or expense suffered by such Conduit by reason of its issuance of Commercial Paper Notes or its incurrence of other obligations reasonably allocated by such Conduit to its funding or the maintenance of its funding of its share of the Note Balance, or, in the case of any Purchaser, redeploying funds prepaid or repaid, in amounts which correspond to its share of the Note Balance. A statement setting forth in reasonable detail the calculations of any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by a Purchaser to the Issuer, the Administrative Agent, the Sponsor and the Servicer shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Any amounts payable under this clause (e) by the Issuer will be payable solely from funds available to the Issuer for distribution pursuant to Section 8.06 of the Indenture (it being understood that, in the event that the Issuer has insufficient funds available to pay any such amounts in full on any Payment Date, the remaining unpaid amounts shall be due and payable on each subsequent Payment Date until paid in full to the extent of available funds for such purpose in accordance with Section 8.06 of the Indenture on each such Payment Date).

Section 2.07. Change in Law or Accounting; Capital Costs.

(a) If after the date hereof (or, in the case of any assignee Owner of the Notes or any other Affected Person with respect thereto, after the date of such assignment) (x) any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof or (y) the requirements of (1) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, (2) the FAS 166/167 Regulatory Capital Rules, or (3) the Basel Rules, or (z) the compliance with any guideline or request made after the date hereof from any Governmental Authority, either:

(i) subjects an Owner or any of its related Affected Persons to any loss due to the recharacterization of any payments made with respect to the Notes; or

(ii) imposes, modifies or holds applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory Receivables or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by such Owner or related Affected Person;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Owner or such related Affected Person, by an amount that such Owner deems to be material, of maintaining its interest in the Notes or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof (collectively, “Regulatory Costs”), then, and in any such case, after submission by such Affected Person to the Issuer (with a copy to the Trustee) of a written request therefor (which shall include calculations in reasonable detail), the Issuer will pay to such Owner any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Owner or related Affected Person for such Regulatory Costs. Such additional amounts payable hereunder with respect to Regulatory Costs will be payable solely from funds available to the Issuer for distribution pursuant to Section 8.06 of the Indenture (it being understood that, in the event that the Issuer has insufficient funds available to pay any such amounts in full on any Payment Date, the remaining unpaid amounts shall be due and payable on each subsequent Payment Date until paid in full to the extent of available funds for such purpose in accordance with Section 8.06 of the Indenture on each such Payment Date).

(b) If after the date hereof (or, in the case of any assignee Owner that is not an Affiliate of the assignee Owner of the Notes as of the date of such assignment or any Affected Person with respect thereto, after the date of such assignment) (x) any change in any Requirement of Law (including any new Requirement of Law) regarding capital adequacy (a “Capital Guideline”) or in the interpretation or application thereof or (y) the requirements of (1) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, (2) the FAS 166/167 Regulatory Capital Rules, or (3) the Basel Rules, and in each case, any regulations, rules, guidelines or directives issued or promulgated thereunder or in connection therewith or any change in the interpretation or application of the foregoing, either:

(i) affects the amount of capital to be maintained by an Owner or any of its related Affected Persons and such Owner or such Affected Person determines that the amount of such capital is increased as a direct or indirect consequence of its investment in the Notes; or

(ii) has the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Owner’s or such other Affected Person’s capital as a direct or indirect consequence of making or maintaining its investment in the Notes, to a level below that which such Owner or such other Affected Person would have achieved but for such requirement, change in or interpretation or application of such Capital Guideline or compliance with such request or directive (taking into consideration such Owner’s or such entity’s or such other Affected Person’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Owner to be material;

then, from time to time, upon demand (which shall include calculations in reasonable detail) by such Owner in writing to the Issuer, the Issuer will pay to such Owner such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Owner or such other Affected Person for the cost of maintaining such increased capital or such reduction in the rate of return on the Owner’s or such other Affected Person’s capital (collectively, “Capital Costs”). Such additional amounts payable hereunder with respect to Capital Costs will be payable solely from funds available to the Issuer for distribution pursuant to Section 8.06 of the Indenture (it being understood that, in the event that the Issuer has insufficient funds available to pay any such amounts in full on any Payment Date, the remaining unpaid amounts shall be due and payable on each subsequent Payment Date until paid in full to the extent of available funds for such purpose in accordance with Section 8.06 of the Indenture on each such Payment Date).

(c) Failure or delay on the part of any Owner to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Owner’s right to demand such compensation; provided, that Issuer shall not be required to compensate an Owner or other Affected Person pursuant to this Section 2.07 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Owner notifies Seller in writing of the change in Requirement of Law or other circumstance giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Owner’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that if the change in Requirement of Law or other circumstance giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.07 to the contrary, if any Affected Person enters into agreements for the acquisition or financing of interests in receivables, notes or other financial assets from one or more Persons, other than the Issuer, that has entered into a receivables purchase agreement, receivables transfer agreement, note purchase agreement, loan agreement or funding agreement with such Person (“Other Issuers”) (or to provide liquidity or credit support therefor), such Affected Person shall ratably allocate the liability for any amounts under this Section 2.07, which are generally imposed on or applicable to such Affected Party, to the Issuer and each Other Issuer to the extent the amounts hereunder are ratably attributable; provided, however, that if such amounts are solely attributable to the Issuer and not attributable to any Other Issuer, as determined in such Affected Person’s reasonable discretion, the Issuer shall be solely liable for such amounts or if such amounts are attributable to Other Issuers and not attributable to the Issuer, as determined in such Affected Person’s reasonable discretion, such Other Issuers shall be solely liable for such amounts

Section 2.08. Taxes.

(a) All payments made by the Issuer under any of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents will be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any taxing authority (hereinafter called “Taxes”) unless required to be withheld under applicable law. If any Taxes (other than Excluded Taxes) are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to any Owner hereunder or thereunder, after submission by such Owner to the Issuer of a written request therefor, the amounts so payable to such Owner will, at the written request of the Owner, be increased by the Issuer to the extent necessary to yield to such Owner (after payment of all Taxes, other than Excluded Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder or thereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in any of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. Whenever any Taxes are payable by the Issuer, as promptly as possible thereafter the Issuer will send to each Owner a certified copy of an original official receipt received by Issuer or other reasonable evidence showing payment thereof. If the Issuer fails to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority, fails to remit to each Owner the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, or if any Taxes (other than Excluded Taxes) in respect of a payment made by the Issuer under any of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents are paid by any Owner, the Issuer will pay such Owner, solely from funds available to the Issuer for distribution pursuant to Section 8.06 of the Indenture (it being understood that, in the event that the Issuer has insufficient funds

available to pay any such amounts in full on any Payment Date, the remaining unpaid amounts shall be due and payable on each subsequent Payment Date until paid in full to the extent of available funds for such purpose in accordance with Section 8.06 of the Indenture on each such Payment Date), for any incremental taxes, reasonable costs or penalties that may become payable by such Owner as a result of any such failure and reimburse any such Taxes paid directly by the Owner to the applicable taxing authority upon delivery to the Issuer by an Owner (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a certificate as to the amount of any such liability or payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else herein to the contrary, no amounts will be paid pursuant to this Section 2.08 (collectively “Tax Costs”) to any Owner that is not a United States person for U.S. federal income tax purposes if such Owner fails to comply with the requirements of Section 2.08(b).

(b) Each Owner and the Administrative Agent, if required by law shall timely furnish the Issuer or its agents any U.S. federal income tax form or certification (such as IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, IRS Form W-8IMY, IRS Form W-9 or IRS Form W-8ECI or any successors to such IRS forms or any other certification that the Issuer may reasonably request) that the Issuer or its agents may reasonably request and shall update or replace such form or certification in accordance with its terms or its subsequent amendments. Each Owner understands that the Issuer may require additional certification acceptable to it (a) to permit the Issuer to make payments to it without, or at a reduced rate of, withholding or (b) to enable the Issuer to qualify for a reduced rate of withholding in any jurisdiction from or through which the Issuer receives payments on its assets. Each Owner agrees to provide any such certification applicable to it that is requested by the Issuer, unless the Owner determines in good faith that providing such certificate could materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Owner or subject such Owner to unreimbursed costs or expenses.

(c) If a payment made to an Owner under this Agreement or any Transaction Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Owner 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 Owner shall deliver to the Issuer or its agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Issuer, 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 Issuer as may be necessary for the Issuer to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Owner has complied with such Owner’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.

(d) 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 2.08 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.08), it shall pay to the Issuer an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant taxing authority with respect to such refund). Solely from funds available for distribution for such purpose by the Issuer, the Issuer, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this

paragraph (d) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant taxing authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such taxing authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (d), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to the Issuer pursuant to this paragraph (d) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This paragraph 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 the Issuer or any other Person.

(e) The Issuer shall indemnify and hold harmless any Owner from any present or future claim for liability for any stamp or other similar Tax and any penalties or interest with respect thereto, that may be assessed, levied or collected by any jurisdiction in connection with the Notes or Indenture. The Issuer shall pay, or reimburse an Owner for, any and all amounts in respect of, all search, filing, recording and registration and other similar Taxes that may be payable or reasonably determined to be payable in respect of the execution, delivery, performance and/or enforcement of the Notes or the Indenture except any amounts that are Other Connection Taxes imposed with respect to an assignment.

Section 2.09. No Setoff. All payments to be made on behalf of the Issuer under this Agreement or the Indenture, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York City time), on the due date thereof to the account specified by the applicable Owner, in Dollars and in immediately available funds.

Section 2.10. Mitigation.

(a) Each Owner agrees that it will use its commercially reasonable efforts to take any actions, including designating a different lending office for purposes of its investment in the Notes, that will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any Regulatory Costs, Capital Costs, Tax Costs or Indemnified Amounts (collectively, “Increased Costs”) owing to such Owner or its related Affected Persons; provided, however, that:

(i) no such Owner will be obligated to take any actions that would, in the reasonable determination of such Owner, be materially disadvantageous to such Owner;

(ii) if any Increased Costs will not be eliminated or reduced by the Owner taking such actions and payment therefor hereunder will not be waived by such Owner, the Issuer will have the right to replace the Owner hereunder with a new Owner (the “Replacement Owner”) that will succeed to the rights of such Owner with respect to the Notes. Upon notice from the Issuer, an Owner being replaced hereunder shall assign, without recourse, its rights and obligations (if any) hereunder, or a ratable share thereof, to the Replacement Owner or Replacement Owners designated and consented to as provided in this Section 2.10(a)(ii) for a purchase price equal to the sum of such Owner’s Note Balance so assigned, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and any other amounts (including fees and any Increased Costs) to which such Owner is entitled hereunder; and

(iii) no Owner will be replaced hereunder (including, without limitation, pursuant to clause (ii) above) with a new Owner until such Owner has been repaid in full all amounts owed to it pursuant to this Agreement and the Transaction Documents.

Section 2.11. Determination of Amounts. Each Owner or other Affected Person claiming Increased Costs will furnish to the Issuer a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis, calculation and amount of each request by such Owner or other Affected Person, as applicable. Each Owner’s determination of any Increased Cost will be conclusive, absent manifest error.

Article III

CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO FUNDING BY THE PURCHASERS

The Depositor agrees to take such action and furnish such documents as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in connection with the obtaining or maintenance of ratings in respect of the Notes, and the Depositor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to furnish such documents and take any such other action; provided that the Depositor or its Affiliates shall not be required to engage any Rating Agency in connection with the Notes or incur any out-of-pocket expenses with respect to any Rating Agency rating the Notes unless the Administrative Agent directs the Issuer to undertake such engagement and agrees to reimburse the Issuer, Depositor and Servicer for all expenses related thereto.

Section 7.12. Amendment of Transaction Documents. The Depositor shall not amend or modify any Transaction Document or waive any term thereof, without the express written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Required Noteholders.

Section 7.13. Compliance with Credit Risk Retention Rules. The Sponsor or (to the extent permitted by the Credit Risk Retention Rules) one or more Majority-Owned Affiliates will continue to comply with all requirements imposed on the “sponsor of a securitization transaction” by the Credit Risk Retention Rules for so long as those requirements are applicable, including (i) holding the Retained Interest for the duration required in the Credit Risk Retention Rules, without any impermissible hedging, transfer or financing of the Retained Interest, and (ii) retaining more or additional ABS Interests in connection with any Note Balance Increase, in which case such additional ABS Interests also will be deemed to be Retained Interests hereunder. The Sponsor is and will be solely responsible for compliance with the disclosure requirements of the Credit Risk Retention Rules, including the contents of all such disclosures, ensuring that the required pre-sale disclosures were made to Purchasers, ensuring that any required post-closing disclosures are provided to Purchasers, and ensuring that all pre-sale and post-closing disclosures required in connection with a Note Balance Increase are provided to Note Holders, in each case timely and by an appropriate method that does not require any involvement of the Primary Note Purchaser or the Administrative Agent. To the extent that an Eligible Horizontal Residual Interest is retained as a Retained Interest in connection with any Note Balance Increase, the Sponsor will determine such fair value of the Retained Interest based on its own valuation methodology, inputs and assumptions and will be solely responsible therefor. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing covenant is not an argument or an admission that any Note Initial Increase or Note Balance Increase, as applicable, is a securitization transaction subject to the Credit Risk Retention Rules.

Article VIII

Article IX

COVENANTS OF THE SERVICER

The Servicer hereby makes the following covenants and agreements for so long as any amount of the Notes shall be outstanding or any monetary obligation arising hereunder is owing and shall remain unpaid, unless the Required Noteholders shall otherwise consent in writing.

To the extent that any rating provided with respect to any commercial paper notes issued by any Conduit by any rating agency is conditional upon the furnishing of documents or the taking of any other action by the Servicer in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Servicer shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to furnish such documents and take any such other action.

Section 9.05. Inspection of Servicer. The Servicer will permit the Administrative Agent or its agents or representatives (including any independent public accounting firm or other third party auditors), at the sole cost and expense of the Servicer (up to an amount equal to $40,000 per annum, with the sum of all amounts payable by the Servicer and the Depositor in accordance with this Section 9.05 and Section 7.10 not to exceed $40,000 per annum), in the aggregate collectively with respect to the inspection of the Depositor under Section 7.10 and the Servicer under Section 9.05, to visit the offices the Servicer to examine all books, records and documents (including computer tapes and disks) relating to, and conduct an audit with respect to, the Notes.

Nothing in this Section shall derogate from the obligation of the Issuer, the Depositor or the Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Receivables Obligors and the failure of the Servicer to provide access as provided in this Section as a result of any such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section. For the avoidance of doubt any recovery of audit expenses shall also constitute a recovery for purpose of Section 7.10 hereof.

Section 9.06. Agreed Upon Procedures Report. On or before April 30^th each year beginning April 30, 2018, the Servicer shall deliver or cause to be delivered, at the cost of the Servicer (up to an amount equal to $50,000 per annum, with the sum of all amounts payable by the Servicer and the Depositor in accordance with this Section 9.06, Section 7.10 and Section 9.05 not to exceed $90,000 per annum), to the Administrative Agent, a written report demonstrating the result of certain agreed upon procedures, the scope of which is described on Exhibit B attached hereto, performed by an independent audit and consulting firm specializing in securitization transactions selected by the Servicer and reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent.

Article XII

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

Section 12.01. Authorization and Action. Each Purchaser hereby designates and appoints Credit Suisse AG, New York Branch to act as its agent hereunder and under each other Transaction Document, and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative by the terms of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

In performing their functions and duties hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents, the Administrative Agent shall act solely as agent for the Purchasers, and the Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation or relationship of trust or agency with or for the Issuer or any of the Issuer’s successors or assigns. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that exposes the Administrative Agent to personal liability or that is contrary to this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or applicable law. The appointment and authority of the Administrative Agent hereunder shall terminate upon the indefeasible payment in full of all Notes. Each Purchaser hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to file each of the Uniform Commercial Code financing statements on behalf of such Purchaser (the terms of which shall be binding on such Purchaser).

Section 12.02. Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of their respective 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 Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys in fact selected and maintained by it with reasonable care.

Section 12.03. Exculpatory Provisions. None of the Administrative Agent or any of their respective 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 bad faith, 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 Transaction 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 Transaction Party to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder, or for the satisfaction of any condition specified in Article III, or for the perfection, priority, condition, value or sufficiency of any collateral pledged in connection herewith. The Administrative 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 Transaction Parties. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any actual or potential Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from Issuer or a Purchaser.

Section 12.04. Reliance by Agent.

(a) The Administrative 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 Issuer), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative 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 Noteholders 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 Administrative Agent shall have received such advice, the Administrative Agent may take or refrain from taking any action, as the Administrative Agent shall deem advisable and in the best interests of the Purchasers. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, in accordance with a request of the Required Noteholders 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 12.05. Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Purchasers. Each Purchaser expressly acknowledges that none of the Administrative Agent or any of its respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys in fact or affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken,

including, without limitation, any review of the affairs of any Transaction Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent. Each Purchaser represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent that it has and will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Purchaser and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of an investigation into the business, operations, property, prospects, financial and other conditions and creditworthiness of Issuer and the other Transaction Parties and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and all other documents related hereto or thereto.

Section 12.07. Agents in their Individual Capacity. The Administrative Agent, and each of its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with Issuer or any Affiliate of Issuer as though it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder. With respect to the acquisition of interest in Notes pursuant to this Agreement, the Administrative 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 Administrative Agent “Purchaser” and “Purchasers” shall include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity.

Section 12.08. Successor Agent. The Administrative Agent may, upon five (5) days’ prior notice to Issuer and the Purchasers, and the Administrative Agent shall, upon the direction of all of the Purchasers (other than the Administrative Agent, in its individual capacity) resign as Administrative Agent.
