ARTICLE I.
PURCHASE AND CONTRIBUTION

Section 1.1 Purchase of Receivables. In consideration for the Purchase Price and upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, (a) effective on the date hereof, Originator does hereby sell, assign, transfer, set-over and otherwise convey to Buyer, without recourse (except to the extent expressly provided herein), and Buyer does hereby purchase from Originator, all of Originator’s right, title and interest in and to all Receivables originated by it and existing as of the close of business on the Business Day immediately prior to the date hereof, together, in each case, with all Related Security relating thereto and all Collections thereof and (b) from and after the date hereof, Originator hereby agrees to sell, assign, transfer, set-over and otherwise convey to Buyer, without recourse (except to the extent expressly provided herein), and Buyer hereby agrees to purchase from Originator, all of Originator’s right, title and interest in and to all Receivables originated by it from and after the date hereof, together, in each case, with all Related Security relating thereto and all Collections thereof. In accordance with the preceding sentence, Buyer shall acquire all of Originator’s right, title and interest in and to all Receivables originated by it and existing as of the close of business on the Business Day immediately prior to the date hereof and thereafter arising through and including the Termination Date, together with all Related Security relating thereto and all Collections thereof, and Buyer shall be obligated to pay the Purchase Price for each Receivable, its Related Security and Collections in accordance with Section 1.2. In connection with the payment of the Purchase Price for any Receivables purchased hereunder, Buyer may request that Originator deliver, and Originator shall deliver, such approvals, opinions, information, reports or documents as Buyer may reasonably request, it being understood that buyer will not request supplemental opinions more than once every 5 years except in connection with a material change in applicable law or a material amendment to this Agreement.

Section 1.2 Payment for the Purchases.

(a) The Purchase Price for the Purchase of Receivables originated by Originator that are in existence on the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the date hereof (the “Initial Cutoff Date”) shall be payable in full by Buyer to such Originator on the date hereof, and shall be paid to such Originator in the following manner:

(i) by delivery of immediately available funds, to the extent of funds made available to Buyer in connection with its subsequent sale of an interest in such Receivables to the Purchasers under the Purchase Agreement, and

(ii) the balance, by the incurrence of a subordinated revolving loan from Originator to Buyer (a “Subordinated Loan”) in an amount not to exceed the lesser of (A) the remaining unpaid portion of such Purchase Price, and (B) the maximum Subordinated Loan that could be borrowed without rendering Buyer’s Net Worth to be less than the Required Capital Amount. Originator is hereby authorized by Buyer to endorse on the schedule attached to the Subordinated Note an appropriate notation evidencing the date and of the incurrence of each advance thereunder, as well as the date of each payment with respect thereto, provided that the failure to make such notation shall not affect any obligation of Buyer thereunder.

The Purchase Price for each Receivable coming into existence after the Initial Cutoff Date shall be due and owing in full by Buyer to Originator or its designee on the date each such Receivable comes into existence (except that Buyer may, with respect to any such Purchase Price, offset against such Purchase Price any amounts owed by Originator to Buyer hereunder and which have become due but remain unpaid) and shall be paid to such Originator in the manner provided in the following paragraphs (b), (c) and (d)).

(b) With respect to any Receivables coming into existence after the Initial Cutoff Date, on each Settlement Date, Buyer shall pay the Purchase Price therefor to Originator in accordance with Section 1.2(d) and in the following manner:

first, by delivery of immediately available funds, to the extent of funds available to Buyer from its subsequent sale of an interest in the Receivables to the Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers under the Purchase Agreement, or other cash on hand; and/or

second, by increasing the amount of the Subordinated Loan, provided that the increase of any such Subordinated Loan shall be subject to the provisions set forth in Section 1.2(a)(ii).

third, by accepting such Receivables as contribution to Buyer’s capital; provided that no such capital contribution shall be made from and after the date on which Originator notifies Buyer in writing that it has designated a date as the Termination Date.

Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 1.2(a)(ii), Originator irrevocably agrees to advance each Subordinated Loan requested by Buyer on or prior to the Termination Date. The Subordinated Loans shall be evidenced by, and shall be payable in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Subordinated Note and shall be payable solely from funds which Buyer is not required under the Purchase Agreement to set aside for the benefit of, or otherwise pay over to, the Agent or the Purchasers.

(c) From and after the Termination Date, Originator shall not be obligated to sell Receivables to Buyer but, may, at its option, sell Receivables if Originator reasonably determines that the Purchase Price therefor will be satisfied with funds available to Buyer from sales of interests in the Receivables pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Collections, proceeds of Subordinated Loans, other cash on hand or otherwise.

(d) Although the Purchase Price for each Receivable coming into existence after the Initial Cutoff Date shall be due and payable in full by Buyer to Originator on the date such Receivable comes into existence, settlement of the Purchase Price between Buyer and such Originator shall be effected on a monthly basis on Settlement Dates with respect to all Receivables coming into existence during the same Calculation Period and based on the information contained in the Monthly Report delivered by the Servicer pursuant to Article VIII of the Purchase Agreement for the Calculation Period then most recently ended. Although settlement shall be effected on Settlement Dates, increases or decreases in the amount owing under the applicable Subordinated Note made pursuant to Section 1.2(b) and any contribution of capital by Originator to Buyer made pursuant to section 1.2(b) shall be deemed to have occurred and shall be effective as of the last Business Day of the Calculation Period to which such settlement relates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, on any date that the Aggregate Capital increases, the Buyer shall pay to the Originator the amount of such increase in partial settlement of the purchase of Receivables.

(e) Each contribution of a Receivable by Originator to Buyer shall be deemed to be a Purchase of such Receivable by the Buyer for all purposes of this Agreement. Buyer hereby acknowledges that Originator shall have no obligations to make further capital contributions to Buyer, in respect of Originator’s equity interest in the Buyer or otherwise in order to provide funds to pay the Purchase Price to Originator under this Agreement or for any other reason.

Section 1.3 Deemed Collections. If on any day the Outstanding Balance of a Receivable is either (i) reduced as a result of any defective or rejected goods or services, any cash discount or any adjustment by Originator, or (ii) reduced or cancelled as a result of a setoff in respect of any claim by any Person (whether such claim arises out of the same or a related transaction or an unrelated transaction), Originator shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection of such Receivable in the amount of such reduction or cancellation. If on any day any of the representations or warranties in Section 3.1(h), (i), (j), (r) or (t) is no longer true with respect to any Receivable, Originator shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection of such Receivable in full.

Section 1.4 Payments and Computations, Etc.

(a) All amounts to be paid or deposited by Buyer hereunder (except amounts payable by increasing the outstanding principal balance under the Subordinated Note) shall be paid or deposited to the Originator’s account no. 4518054085 at Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., in San Francisco, California, ABA No. 121000248 (the “Originator’s Account”) in accordance with the terms hereof on the day when due in immediately available funds. All amounts to be paid or deposited by Originator hereunder shall be paid or deposited to the Facility Account in accordance with the terms hereof on the day when due in immediately available funds.

(b) In the event that any payment owed by any Person hereunder becomes due on a day that is not a Business Day, then such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day.

(c) If any Person fails to pay any amount hereunder when due, such Person agrees to pay, on demand, the Default Fee in respect thereof until paid in full; provided, however, that such Default Fee shall not at any time exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law.

Section 1.5 Intention of the Parties. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the contribution and the sale of the Receivables hereunder, shall constitute sales, contributions or other outright conveyances which are absolute and irrevocable and provide Buyer with the full benefits of ownership of the Receivables and the associated Related Security. The sale and contribution of the Receivables hereunder are made without recourse to Originator; provided, however, that (i) Originator shall be liable to Buyer for all representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities made by Originator pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Documents to which Originator is a party, and (ii) such sale and contribution do not constitute and are not intended to result in an assumption by Buyer or any assignee thereof of any obligation of Originator or any other Person arising in connection with the Receivables, the related Contracts and/or other associated Related Security or any other obligations of Originator. In view of the intention of the parties hereto that the conveyances of the Receivables made hereunder shall constitute sales, contributions or other outright conveyances thereof rather than loans secured thereby, Originator agrees that it will, on or prior to the date hereof, mark its master data processing records relating to the Receivables with a legend acceptable to Buyer and to the Agent (as Buyer’s assignee), evidencing that Buyer owns the Receivables as provided in this Agreement and to note in its financial statements that the Receivables has been sold or contributed, to Buyer and have been further sold or pledged to the Agent. Originator authorizes Buyer or the Agent (as Buyer’s assignee) to file such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto or assignments thereof, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or appropriate to perfect and maintain the perfection of Buyer’s ownership of the Receivables and the associated Related Security.

Section 1.6 Characterization.

(a) If, notwithstanding the intention of the parties expressed in Section 1.5, a court of competent jurisdiction shall characterize any sale or contribution by Originator to Buyer of Receivables hereunder as a secured loan and not a sale, or such sale shall for any reason be ineffective or unenforceable, then this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a security agreement under the UCC and other applicable law. For this purpose and without being in derogation of the parties’ intention that each sale of Receivables hereunder shall constitute a true sale thereof, Originator hereby grants to Buyer a valid and perfected security interest in all of Originator’s right, title and interest in, to and under all Receivables now existing and hereafter arising, and in all Collections and Related Security with respect thereto, the Servicer’s Concentration Account, all other rights and payments relating to the Receivables and all proceeds of the foregoing to secure the prompt and complete payment of a loan deemed to have been made in an amount equal to the Purchase Price of the Receivables originated by Originator together with all other obligations of such Originator hereunder, which security interest shall be prior to all other Adverse Claims thereto. Buyer and its assigns shall have, in addition to the rights and remedies which they may have under this Agreement, all other rights and remedies provided to a secured creditor under the UCC and other applicable law, which rights and remedies shall be cumulative, Originator hereby authorizes Buyer (or any of its assigns), within the meaning of Section 9-509 of any applicable enactment of the UCC, as secured party, to file, without the signature of the debtor, the UCC financing statements contemplated hereby.

(b) Originator acknowledges that Buyer, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, shall assign to the Agent, for the benefit of the Agent and the Purchasers thereunder, all of its rights, remedies, powers and privileges under this Agreement and that the Agent may further assign such rights, remedies, powers and privileges to the extent permitted in the Purchase Agreement. Originator agrees that the Agent, as the assignee of the Seller, shall, subject to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, have the right to enforce this Agreement and to exercise directly all of Buyer’s rights and remedies under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the right to give or withhold any consents or approvals of Buyer to be given or withheld hereunder, and, in any case, without regard to whether specific reference is made to Buyer’s assigns in the provisions of this Agreement which set forth such rights and remedies) and Originator agrees to cooperate fully with the Agent and the Purchasers in the exercise of such rights and remedies. Originator further agrees to give to the Agent copies of all notices it is required to give to Buyer hereunder.

ARTICLE II.
PAYMENTS

Section 2.1 Ordinary Course. In the event that a court of competent jurisdiction holds that the transactions hereunder are not true sales or contributions, each of Originator and Buyer represents and warrants as to itself that each remittance of Collections by Originator to Buyer under this Agreement will have been (a) in payment of a debt incurred by Originator in the ordinary course of business or financial affairs of Originator and Buyer and (b) made in the ordinary course of business or financial affairs of Originator and Buyer.

Section 2.2 Payment Rescission. No amount due and owing to either party hereunder 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. The paying party shall remain obligated for the amount of any payment or application so rescinded, returned or refunded, and shall promptly pay to the Person who suffered such rescission, return or refund) the full amount thereof, plus interest thereon at the Default Fee from the date of any such rescission, return or refunding.

(p) Compliance with Law. Originator has complied with all applicable laws, rules, regulations, orders, writs, judgments, injunctions, decrees or awards to which it may be subject, except where the failure to so comply could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Receivable, together with the Contract related thereto, does not contravene any laws, rules or regulations applicable thereto (including, without limitation, laws, rules and regulations relating to truth in lending, fair credit billing, fair credit reporting, equal credit opportunity, fair debt collection practices and privacy), and no part of such Contract is in violation of any such law, rule or regulation, except where such contravention or violation could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(r) Eligible Receivables. Each of the Receivables included in the Net Receivables Balance (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) in any Monthly Report or Daily Report (each, as defined in the Purchase Agreement) on any day prior to the Termination Date is an Eligible Receivable (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) as of the date specified in such report.

(s) Payments to Originator. Neither the sale nor the contribution by Originator of the Receivables is voidable under any section of the Federal Bankruptcy Code.

(t) 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).

(u) Accounting. The manner in which Originator accounts for the sale and the contribution of the Receivables does not jeopardize its characterization as being a true sale or a true contribution, as applicable.

(v) Tax Status. Originator is subject to taxation under the Code only as a partnership and not as a corporation.

Section 5.11 Purchasers’ Reliance. Originator acknowledges that the Agent and the Purchasers are entering into the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement in reliance upon Buyer’s identity as a legal entity that is separate from Originator and any Affiliates thereof. Therefore, from and after the date of execution and delivery of this Agreement, Originator will take all reasonable steps including, without limitation, all steps that Buyer or any assignee of Buyer may from time to time reasonably request to maintain Buyer’s identity as a separate legal entity and to make it manifest to third parties that Buyer is an entity with assets and liabilities distinct from those of Originator and any Affiliates thereof and not just a division of Originator or any such Affiliate. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and in addition to the other covenants set forth herein, Originator (i) will not hold itself out to third parties as liable for the debts of Buyer nor purport to own the Receivables, (ii) will take all other actions necessary on its part to ensure that Buyer is at all times in compliance with the covenants set forth in Section 7.10 of the Purchase Agreement and (iii) will cause all tax liabilities arising in connection with the transactions contemplated herein or otherwise to be allocated between Originator and Buyer on an arm’s-length basis and in a manner consistent with the procedures set forth in U.S. Treasury Regulations §§1.1502-33(d) and 1.1552-1.

Section 5.12 Collections. Originator, individually or as Servicer, will cause all Collections on the Receivables to be concentrated each Business Day into the Servicer’s Concentration Account; provided, however, that solely with respect to each account listed on Schedule C to the Purchase Agreement (as such Schedule C may be updated by the Servicer with a delivery of a revised Schedule C concurrent with the delivery of the Monthly Report pursuant to Article VIII of the Purchase Agreement provided that no account may be added to such Schedule C without the consent of Buyer and the Agents if, after giving effect to such account’s addition and any prior or concurrent account closures and deletions, the aggregate Collections flowing through all accounts listed on Schedule C could reasonably be expected to exceed 5% of total weekly Collections on a pro forma basis), so long as the daily balance therein does not exceed $2,500, Originator, individually or as Servicer, will concentrate the Collections therein into the Servicer’s Concentration Account not less than once per calendar week. Originator, individually or as Servicer, will sweep all such Collections from the Servicer’s Concentration Account no less than daily into the Facility Account and, unless the Termination Date has occurred, immediately thereafter transferred to the Originator’s Account.

Section 5.13 Negative Covenants of Originator. Until the date on which this Agreement terminates in accordance with its terms, and all Aggregate Unpaids (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) have been paid in full, Originator hereby covenants that:

(a) Name Change, Offices and Records. Originator will not change its name, identity or legal structure (within the meaning of Article 9 of any applicable enactment of the UCC) or relocate any office where Records are kept unless it shall have given Buyer (or its assigns) at least fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice thereof. Furthermore, Originator authorizes Buyer (or its assigns) to file all financing statements, instruments and other documents in connection with such change or relocation.

(b) Change in Payment Instructions to Obligors. Originator will not authorize any Obligor to make payment to any Lock-Box or Collection Account (each, as defined in the Purchase Agreement) other than one which is swept into the Servicer’s Concentration Account in accordance with Section 5.12.

(c) Modifications to Contracts and Credit and Collection Policy. Originator will not make any change to the Credit and Collection Policy that could adversely affect the collectibility of the Receivables or decrease the credit quality of any newly created Receivables. Except as otherwise permitted in its capacity as Servicer pursuant to Article VIII of the Purchase Agreement, Originator will not extend, amend or otherwise modify the terms of any Receivable or any Contract related thereto other than in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy.

(d) Sales, Adverse Claims. Originator will not sell, assign (by operation of law or otherwise) or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, or create or suffer to exist any Adverse Claim upon (including, without limitation, the filing of any financing statement) or with respect to, the Receivables, or the Servicer’s Concentration Account, or assign any right to receive income with respect thereto (other than, in each case, the creation of the interests therein in favor of Buyer provided for herein), and Originator will defend the right, title and interest of Buyer in, to and under any of the foregoing property, against all claims of third parties claiming through or under Originator.

(e) Accounting for Purchase. Originator will not, and will not permit any Affiliate to, account for or treat (whether in financial statements or otherwise) the transactions contemplated hereby in any manner other than the sale and contribution of the Receivables by Originator to Buyer except to the extent that either such transaction is not recognized on account of consolidated financial reporting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

(f) Change in Business. Originator shall not engage in any material line of business substantially different from those lines of business carried on by Originator and the Restricted Subsidiaries on the date of this Agreement.

(g) Accounting Changes. Originator shall not, and shall not suffer or permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, make any significant change in accounting treatment or reporting practices, except as required by GAAP, or change the fiscal year of Originator or of any Restricted Subsidiary except as required by the Code.
