-20-

of the Additional Funding Amount on such Additional Funding Date). The Additional Funding Date applicable to such Substitute Funding Notice shall be the third Business Day following the Additional Funding Date on which the applicable payment failure occurred, and all other terms and conditions of Clauses 3.2(a) and 3.2(b) shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to such Substitute Funding Notice and the payment to Sellers of the Substitute Funding Amount; provided, that unless otherwise agreed by Purchaser and Sellers Agent, the applicable Defaulting Participant shall not fund any such Substitute Funding Amount, and the third proviso to Clause 3.2(b) shall not apply to any failure by such Defaulting Participant to fund any portion of such Substitute Funding Amount.

4. PURCHASE PRICE ADJUSTMENT; ADMINISTRATIVE FEE

4.1. Adjustment. The Sellers, jointly and severally, shall pay to Purchaser, in respect of each Calculation Period, an adjustment (the “Purchase Price Adjustment”) to the Purchaser Amount Balance to provide Purchaser an acceptable yield on its investment for having paid the Face Amount for the Acquired Eligible Receivables. The Purchase Price Adjustment shall be calculated in accordance with the following formula:

Purchase Price Adjustment = PAB*(LIBOR+M)*T/360

where:

PAB refers to the Purchaser Amount Balance as of the first day of the Calculation Period;

LIBOR refers to LIBOR for such Calculation Period;

M refers to [***]; and

-22-

T refers to the number of days in the applicable Calculation Period for which the Purchase Price Adjustment is calculated;

provided, that if any Substitute Funding Amount is advanced on any date which is after the Monthly Date that is the first day of a Calculation Period, then the Sellers shall also pay to the Purchaser as part of the Purchase Price Adjustment for such Calculation Period an amount equal to the product of (x) such Substitute Funding Amount, (y) (LIBOR+M) and (z) the number of days from and including the related advance date to but excluding the following Calculation Date divided by 360.

4.2. Administrative Fee. The Sellers, jointly and severally, shall pay to Purchaser, in respect of each Annual Period, an annual administrative fee equal to [***] (the “Annual Administrative Fee”). In addition, the Sellers, jointly and severally, shall pay to Purchaser, in respect of each Calculation Period, an additional administrative fee (the “Variable Administrative Fee” and, together with the Annual Administrative Fee, the “Administrative Fees”). The Variable Administrative Fee shall be calculated in accordance with the following formula:

Variable Administrative Fee = PAB*M*T/360

where:

PAB refers to the Purchaser Amount Balance as of the first day of the Calculation Period

M refers to [***]

T refers to the number of days in the applicable Calculation Period for which the Variable Administrative Fee is calculated

4.3. Unused Fee. The Sellers, jointly and severally, shall pay to Purchaser, in respect of each Calculation Period, an unused fee (the “Unused Fee”) for each day during the related Calculation Period equal to the product of (x) Unused Fee Rate times (y) the excess, if any, of (i) the daily average aggregate Commitment during the related Calculation Period over (ii) the daily average Purchaser Amount Balance during such Calculation Period.

4.4 Payment of Purchase Price Adjustment, Administrative Fee and Unused Fee. The Purchase Price Adjustment shall be payable in arrears to Purchaser on each Calculation Date, commencing on September 28, 2018. The Variable Administrative Fee shall be payable in arrears to Purchaser on each Calculation Date, commencing on September 28, 2018. The Unused Fee shall be payable in arrears to Purchaser on each Calculation Date, commencing on October 30, 2020. The Annual Administrative Fee shall be payable in advance to Purchaser on the Monthly Date occurring in September of each calendar year, commencing on September 28, 2018. For the avoidance of doubt, Sellers’ obligation to pay the Purchase Price Adjustment, the Unused Fee and the Administrative Fees is a separate obligation of Sellers and the payment thereof shall not be made from amounts in the Collections Account.

-23-

4.5 Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, the Purchaser and the Sellers Agent may amend this Agreement to replace LIBOR with a Benchmark Replacement. No replacement of LIBOR with a Benchmark Replacement will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.

In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Purchaser will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement.

The Purchaser will promptly notify the Sellers Agent of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date and Benchmark Transition Start Date, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes and (iv) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Purchaser pursuant to this Clause 4.5 including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Clause 4.5.

If no Benchmark Replacement has been determined on or before the Benchmark Replacement Date, Purchaser will promptly so notify Sellers Agent of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period. During such Benchmark Availability Period, “LIBOR” shall be deemed to equal the Base Rate.

5. PURCHASE PRICE

5.1. Taxes. The Purchase Price shall constitute full consideration for any Taxes which any Seller may be liable to account for in respect of the sale of the Acquired Eligible Receivables hereunder and accordingly no Seller shall be entitled to require that any amounts be added to any Purchase Price in respect of any such Taxes. To the extent any Receivable includes an amount of any state and local taxes and similar amounts payable by the Eligible Obligor together with the purchase price, the obligation to remit such state and local taxes shall remain with the applicable Seller and such Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser from any such taxes.

6. COLLECTION AND ADMINISTRATION OF THE COLLECTIONS ACCOUNT

6.1. Duties Regarding Servicing of the Receivables. Subject to the transfer of such duties pursuant to Clause 7.1, Servicer shall, at its expense, act as servicer for the Acquired Eligible Receivables. In such capacity, Servicer shall manage, service, administer and make collections on the Acquired Eligible Receivables with reasonable care, using that degree of skill and attention that Servicer exercises with respect to all comparable receivables owned outright by Servicer or its Affiliates. Servicer’s duties shall include collection and posting of all payments and enforcing

-24-

such claims, responding to inquiries of companies or by Governmental Entities with respect to the Acquired Eligible Receivables, investigating delinquencies, reporting tax information to Debtors in accordance with their Contracts or customary practices, policing the collateral, generating income tax information, and performing the other duties specified herein. Subject to Clauses 7.3, 11 and 12, in exercising its duties hereunder, Servicer shall follow its customary standards, policies and procedures and shall have full power and authority, acting alone, to do any and all things in connection with such managing, servicing, administration and collection that it may reasonably deem necessary or desirable. Servicer is acting as such in consideration of the amounts paid to the Sellers by the Purchaser hereunder.

6.2. Payments to Collections Account. Sellers shall procure within thirty days of the date that any Debtor became an Eligible Obligor that all payments by such Debtors in connection with the Acquired Eligible Receivables shall be made directly into the Collections Account, and until such procuring is completed, if any payment by any Debtors in connection with Acquired Eligible Receivables is received by any Seller or any Affiliate thereof in any other account, Sellers shall cause such payment to be deposited into the Collections Account within two Business Days of discovery of the receipt thereof. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, and after the initial thirty-day period, any payment by any Debtors in connection with Acquired Eligible Receivables is received by any Seller or any Affiliate thereof in any other account, Sellers shall cause such payment to be promptly deposited into the Collections Account and, in any event, within two Business Days of discovery of the receipt thereof. To the extent any Related Right is not assigned hereunder due to any contractual restrictions and any Seller or any Affiliate thereof received any payment thereunder relating to an Acquired Eligible Receivable, Sellers shall cause such payment to be promptly deposited into the Collections Account and, in any event, within two Business Days of discovery of the receipt thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, the obligations of the Sellers under this Clause 6.2 shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any limitation imposed upon any Seller or any Affiliates thereof on distributions from any account into which a payment on an Acquired Eligible Receivable is made.

6.3. Distribution of the Amount on Deposit in Collections Account.

The parties hereto acknowledge that although maintained in Servicer’s name, the Collections Account is a segregated account maintained by Servicer for the benefit of Purchaser and that Servicer has no right or interest (other than bare legal title) in any amounts on deposit in the Collections Account. In furtherance of the foregoing, Servicer agrees that it shall hold all funds in the Collections Account in trust for Purchaser and shall not transact any business in or with respect to the Collections Account other than expressly provided herein. In order to facilitate the payments of Purchase Price and to reduce the Purchaser Amount Balance all in accordance with the terms set forth in this Clause 6.3 and Clause 7.3 below, Purchaser hereby and pursuant to the terms of the Control Agreement authorizes Servicer (until the delivery of an Access Termination Notice) to effect distributions from the Collections Account strictly in accordance with Clauses 6.3 and 7.3.

(a) During the Acquisition Period. Subject to Clause 7.3, prior to the end of the Acquisition Period:

-25-

(i) on any Business Day, Servicer may distribute available Amounts on Deposit in the Collections Account to Sellers Agent to pay unpaid Purchase Price owing pursuant to Clause 3.1(b)

(ii) on any Calculation Date, to the extent the Purchaser Amount Balance exceeds the Commitment as of such date (after giving effect to any distributions made on such date pursuant to Clause 6.3 (a)(i)), Servicer shall distribute to Purchaser any remaining Amounts on Deposit in the Collections Account until the amount of such excess is reduced to zero; and

(iii) on any Calculation Date, upon at least two Business Days’ prior notice to Purchaser, Servicer may distribute to Purchaser available Amounts on Deposit in the Collections Account (after giving effect to any other distributions made or required to be made on such day pursuant to this Clause 6.3(a)) in reduction of the Purchaser Amount Balance.

(b) Upon Expiration of the Acquisition Period. Subject to Clause 7.3, on each Calculation Date occurring on or after the termination of the Acquisition Period (including any early termination thereof), all amounts in the Collections Account (other than amounts disregarded under Clause 7.3(e)) as of such Calculation Date shall be distributed to the Purchaser until the Purchaser Amount Balance has been reduced to zero and Sellers have paid Purchaser all accrued and unpaid Purchase Price Adjustments and Administrative Fees and all amounts owing to Purchaser pursuant to Clause 7.3(b), whereupon any remaining amounts may be retained by the Servicer or distributed to its designee.

(c) Collections in Respect of Other Receivables. In accordance with the second proviso to the definition of Amount on Deposit in the Collections Account, if any amount is deposited into the Collections Account in respect of cash collections from a Debtor on a Receivable which is not an Acquired Eligible Receivable and no amounts are due and owing by such Debtor in respect of any Acquired Eligible Receivable, Servicer may, so long as no Notification Event or Potential Notification Event shall have occurred and be continuing, distribute such amount to the Sellers Agent who shall pay the funds to the applicable Seller; provided that any such amount not distributed due to the continuance of Notification Event or Potential Notification Event shall be distributed from any remaining balance in the Collections Account after the Purchaser Amount Balance has been reduced to zero and all other amounts due and owing to Purchaser hereunder have been paid in full.

(d) No Other Distributions. Except as provided in this Clause 6.3, Clause 6.4 or Clause 7.3, Servicer shall have no right to effect any distributions from the Collections Account.

(e) Collections Account Access. In the event that Purchaser delivers an Access Termination Notice under the Control Agreement with respect to the Collections Account, Purchaser will provide Sellers and the Sellers Agent (i) promptly upon becoming available to Purchaser, a daily report (“Balance Report”) showing the balance in the Collections Account as of the beginning of such Business Day, together with the prior Business Day’s debits and credits to the Collections Account and invoice specific remittance information (to the extent such information is available), (ii) promptly upon becoming available to Purchaser, copies of all periodic statements on the Collections Accounts which are subsequently sent to Purchaser, and

-26-

(iii) promptly upon request, such other information with regards to the Collections Account as the Sellers and/or the Sellers Agent their respective officers, directors, employees and agents may reasonably request to the extent such information is available to Purchaser.

6.4. Investment of Amounts in the Collection Account. All amounts held in the Collections Account, may, to the extent permitted by law, be invested by Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (or any successor holder of the Collections Account and party to the Control Agreement), as directed by the Servicer in writing, in Permitted Investments that mature not later than one Business Day after the date of such investment. Investments in Permitted Investments shall not, except as specifically required below, be sold or disposed of prior to their maturity. The taxpayer identification number associated with the Collections Account shall be that of the Servicer and the Servicer shall report for Federal, state and local income tax purposes, the income, if any, recognized in respect of such account. If any amounts are needed for disbursement from the Collections Account and sufficient uninvested funds are not available therein to make such disbursement, the Servicer shall cause to be sold or otherwise converted to cash a sufficient amount of the investments in the Collections Account to make such disbursement. The Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser from any loss of principal incurred or suffered by Purchaser on Permitted Investments selected by the Servicer pursuant to this Section 6.4.

If, during the Acquisition Period, on any Calculation Date, after giving effect to the distributions provided for in Section 6.3(a), there are any remaining Amounts on Deposit in the Collections Account, then, so long as no Notification Event or Potential Notification Event shall have occurred and be continuing, the Servicer may distribute to itself or any designee the lesser of (i) such remaining amount and (ii) the excess of (x) the amount of investment earnings received since the preceding Calculation Date on Permitted Investments of funds on deposit in the Collection Account (y) the fees owing to Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. with respect to the Collections Account since such preceding Calculation Date. In addition, during the Acquisition Period, so long as no Notification Event or Potential Notification Event shall have occurred and be continuing, the Servicer may apply to itself or any designee any “earnings credit” in respect of the Collections Account in excess of fees owing to Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (or any successor holder of the Collections Account and party to the Control Agreement) with respect to such Collections Account.

7. REPURCHASE OF RECEIVABLES; DEFAULTED RECEIVABLES

7.1. Repurchase. If any Acquired Eligible Receivable is not an Eligible Receivable (including by reason of any breach of representations and warranties in this Agreement) the applicable Seller shall be required to repurchase such Receivable. Such Receivable shall be repurchased for the Face Amount thereof by the applicable Seller depositing such amount in the Collections Account (less, for the avoidance of doubt, any collections with respect to such Receivable received in the Collections Account from the Debtor) no later than two Business Days after such Seller’s becoming aware that the applicable Receivable is not an Eligible Receivable. Except for purposes of any indemnity obligations (including tax indemnification obligations) of Sellers hereunder, upon and following such deposit, such repurchased Receivable shall no longer be considered an Acquired Eligible Receivable, and Purchaser shall be deemed to have assigned all of its right, title, and interest in and to such Receivable to the applicable Seller and such Seller shall be the sole owner thereof.

-27-

7.2 Credit Default Certification. If any applicable Eligible Obligor has not paid all or any portion of Acquired Eligible Receivables (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, any such non-payment in respect of which the related Seller has made a Dilution payment hereunder) in cash by the 50th day after the Specified Payment Date thereof, then the applicable Seller(s) shall on such day (or, if such day, is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day), either (x) certify to Purchaser in writing that the unpaid portion of the Acquired Eligible Receivable is payable and that the missed payment is a result of a credit default by such Eligible Obligor and not as a result of an event that would require such Seller to repurchase the Receivable pursuant to Clause 7.1 or otherwise indemnify Purchaser pursuant to Clause 8.1 (a “Credit Default Certification”); provided that no such certification may be delivered if such Eligible Obligor has objected to the payment of the applicable Receivable based on any assertion (whether valid or not) that such Receivable is subject to a Dilution or which, if true, would require that a Seller repurchase such Receivable pursuant to Clause 7.1 or, in the case of an Eligible Obligor that is part of an Eligible Obligor Group and is not the Eligible Obligor Parent, if the Eligible Obligor Parent of the applicable Eligible Obligor is not Insolvent, in which case such Receivable shall be deemed to not have been an Eligible Receivable as a result of not satisfying clause 1 of the Eligibility Criteria and shall be required to be repurchased pursuant to Clause 7.1, which shall be the sole remedy for such breach, or (y) if Seller is unable to deliver such a Credit Default Certification, fund the Collections Account with the amount of the unpaid Acquired Eligible Receivable (or apply the corresponding amount as set-off against the Purchase Price for additional Acquired Eligible Receivables in lieu of such funding of the Collections Account pursuant to (and to the extent permitted by) Clause 3.1(c)). The failure to duly deliver a Credit Default Certification shall be deemed an irrevocable admission by Sellers that the cause of the missed payment is not the result of a credit default by the applicable Eligible Obligor. If a Seller anticipates that it will be required to repurchase any Acquired Eligible Receivables as provided in Clause 7.1 above, such Seller may effect such repurchase prior to the date required above by depositing the applicable amount into the Collections Account (or applying the corresponding amount as set-off against the Purchase Price for additional Acquired Eligible Receivables in lieu of such deposit pursuant to (and to the extent permitted by) Clause 3.1(c)). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Seller may deliver a Credit Default Certification even if the applicable Eligible Obligor has objected to the payment of unpaid Acquired Eligible Receivables if such Seller believes in good faith that the missed payment is the result of a credit default by the applicable Eligible Obligor and not the result of an event that would give rise to an obligation of such Seller under Clause 7.1 or Clause 8 so long as such Seller funds the full amount of such missed payment into the Collections Account and references such missed payment and the amount thereof in its Credit Default Certification; provided that no such certification may be delivered in the case of an Eligible Obligor that is part of an Eligible Obligor Group and is not the Eligible Obligor Parent, if the Eligible Obligor Parent of the applicable Eligible Obligor is not Insolvent. If it is subsequently finally determined that (x) such Acquired Eligible Receivables or any portion thereof were not subject to a Dilution and not subject to a repurchase obligation pursuant to Clause 7.1 and (y) the failure of such Acquired Eligible Receivables or relevant portion thereof to be paid was the result of a credit default by the applicable Eligible Obligor (either by a written acknowledgement from the applicable Eligible Obligor to such effect, a final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction that such amount is payable by such Eligible Obligor or the allowance of a claim in respect thereof in a Bankruptcy of the applicable Eligible Obligor) and (z) in the case of an Eligible Obligor that is part of an Eligible Obligor Group and is not the

-28-

Eligible Obligor Parent, if the Eligible Obligor Parent of the applicable Eligible Obligor is determined to have been Insolvent (either by a written acknowledgement from the applicable Eligible Obligor Parent to such effect or a final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction), then Purchaser shall reimburse the applicable Seller the excess, if any, of (A) the amount that Purchaser received as a result of such Seller having funded the Collections Account as provided above with respect to the applicable portion over (B) the amount Purchaser would have received had such Seller not been required to so fund the Collections Account with respect to the applicable portion; provided, that to the extent Purchaser has sold participations in any Eligible Receivables as provided in Clause 17.9, Purchaser’s obligation to reimburse any Participant’s share in accordance with its participation agreement of such amounts shall be solely recourse to the amount so recovered from the Participant. (In connection with the proviso to the preceding sentence, Purchaser hereby agrees that (x) Purchaser will require each Eligible Participant to whom a participation is sold to promptly reimburse its pro rata portion of any such excess reimbursable by Purchaser and (y) if an Eligible Participant shall fail to comply with such reimbursement obligation at any time, Purchaser will use commercially reasonable efforts to enforce such reimbursement obligation.). Such reimbursement shall be made as promptly as practicable following the date such amount can be reasonably finally determined.

7.3. Defaulted Receivables. If (x) any Seller provides a Credit Default Certification with respect to an Eligible Obligor as to which there are any outstanding Acquired Eligible Receivables or (y) any Eligible Obligor Parent becomes Insolvent and either Sellers Agent or Purchaser has delivered to the other party a notice of Publicly Available Information confirming that such Eligible Obligor Parent is Insolvent, all outstanding Acquired Eligible Receivables with respect to such Eligible Obligor Parent and each other Eligible Obligor (each such Obligor, a “Defaulted Obligor”) in the applicable Eligible Obligor Group shall be considered “Defaulted Receivables”. Upon the occurrence of an event described in clause (x) or (y) (such occurrence, a “Defaulted Receivables Event” (it being agreed that any Credit Default Certification or notice of Publicly Available Information shall be deemed to be effective upon the delivery of such Credit Default Certification or notice of Publicly Available Information)):

(a) all collections on or with respect to the Defaulted Receivables shall be distributed to Purchaser promptly upon receipt and identification thereof by a Seller or Servicer,

(b) the Eligible Obligor Group Limit of the Defaulted Obligor(s) shall be reduced to zero,

(c) the Defaulted Receivables and the cash proceeds thereof shall be disregarded for purposes of calculating the Amounts on Deposit in the Collections Account, and

(d) the Purchaser Amount Balance shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Face Amount of the Defaulted Receivables as of the end of the day immediately prior to the occurrence of the Defaulted Receivables Event.

In addition to the foregoing, the Purchaser may, with respect to the Defaulted Receivables, elect to enforce on behalf of itself and Sellers all remedies and take such actions against the Defaulted Obligor as Purchaser deems necessary to collect the Defaulted Receivables including taking all of the actions set forth in Clause 12.1(a), (b) and (e). In connection with any such

-29-

enforcement by Purchaser, Sellers shall provide such information to the Purchaser as necessary to enable Purchaser to take such actions, including providing copies of the applicable invoices and legal names and addresses of the applicable Defaulted Obligors. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Clause 7.3 or otherwise, the occurrence of a Defaulted Receivables Event shall not limit the Sellers’ obligations under Clause 7.1 above or Clause 8 below.

8. DILUTIONS

8.1. Dilutions. If the full Purchase Price of any Acquired Eligible Receivable is not paid by reason of any Dilution or other dispute or defense in respect of an Acquired Eligible Receivable by the relevant Debtor (whether valid or not, unless as a result of collusion with the Purchaser or its assignee) then the applicable Seller shall be deemed to have received a collection of each such Receivable on the applicable Specified Payment Date and Seller shall pay the amount of each such deemed collection to the Collections Account no later than two Business Days after the applicable Specified Payment Date.

9. COSTS AND TAXATION

9.1. Costs. Sellers shall, jointly and severally, on demand pay on the basis of a full indemnity all reasonably incurred costs, liabilities, losses, damages and expenses (including legal costs and any Tax in relation thereto) incurred or suffered by Purchaser in connection with (x) the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and any related documents (including any documents related to any participation by an Eligible Participant) or (y) the consummation of the Transactions (including in respect of any Additional Purchase Date).

9.2. Taxation. Any amounts stated in this Agreement to be payable by Purchaser are inclusive of value added tax, sales tax, purchase tax and other similar Taxes or duties and any such Taxes shall be paid by the applicable Seller (even if such Taxes are payable by Purchaser as a matter of law) and Sellers shall jointly and severally, indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless from and against any such Taxes. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary (other than Clause 17.8), however, no Seller shall have any obligation whatsoever for any Taxes payable by Purchaser based on the income or earnings (whether gross, net or other portion thereof) of Purchaser. Further, for the avoidance of doubt, Sellers shall have no obligation to indemnify or hold harmless any assignee of Acquired Eligible Receivables from and against any Taxes to the extent such (i) arise as a result of such transfer, or (ii) are in excess of Seller’s obligation to indemnify or hold harmless the assignor based on applicable law on the date of the assignment.

9.3. No deductions. All payments made by Purchaser to Sellers under or in connection with this Agreement shall be made in full without any deduction or withholding in respect of Taxes (or otherwise) unless the deduction or withholding is required by law in which event Purchaser shall ensure that the deduction or withholding does not exceed the minimum amount legally required. For the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser shall not be obliged to gross up any such payment following any such deduction or withholding.

10. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND UNDERTAKINGS

10.1. Sellers. In entering into the Transaction Documents each Seller hereby, jointly and severally, represents and warrants on the date hereof and each Purchase Date as follows:

19. THE SELLERS AGENT

19.1. Appointment and Authorization. Each Seller hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Sellers Agent as the agent of such Seller under this Agreement, and each Seller irrevocably authorizes the Sellers Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Sellers Agent by the terms of this Agreement, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto to the extent permitted by applicable law. Each Seller and each Guarantor hereby further authorizes the Sellers Agent to consent to amendments to this Agreement, except with respect to any amendment relating to the calculation of the Purchase Price or the timing of the payment thereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Sellers Agent shall be responsible for maintaining and the delivering Portfolio Reports, the collection of

-46-

the Purchase Prices and delivery of Funding Notices. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Sellers Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Seller, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or otherwise exist against the Sellers Agent.

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

19.3. Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Sellers Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be (a) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement (except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (b) responsible in any manner to any of the Sellers for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any of the Sellers, Purchaser, or any Guarantor, or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Sellers Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or for any failure of any of the Sellers, Purchaser, or any Guarantor a party thereto to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Sellers Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Seller to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any of the Sellers, Purchaser, or any Guarantor.

19.4. Reliance by Sellers Agent. The Sellers Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other 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 counsel to the Purchaser), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Sellers Agent. The Sellers Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Purchase Price as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Sellers Agent. The Sellers Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence any of the Sellers (or, all Sellers) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Sellers against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Sellers Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement in accordance with a request of any Seller (or all Sellers), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Sellers and any future assignees.

19.5. Notification Events. The Sellers Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Potential Notification Event or Notification Event hereunder unless the Sellers Agent has received notice from a Seller, a Guarantor or the Purchaser referring

-47-

to this Agreement, describing such Potential Notification Event or Notification Event and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Potential Notification Event,” or “Notice of Notification Event.” In the event that the Sellers Agent receives such a notice, the Sellers Agent shall give notice thereof to the Sellers, the Guarantors and the Purchaser. The Sellers Agent shall take such action with respect to such Potential Notification Event or Notification Event as required in this Agreement, or shall be reasonably directed by the Sellers; provided that unless and until the Sellers Agent shall have received such directions, the Sellers Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Potential Notification Event or Notification Event as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Sellers.

19.6. Non-Reliance on the Sellers Agent and Other Sellers. Each Seller expressly acknowledges that neither the Sellers Agent nor any of its respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Sellers Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a party or any affiliate of a party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Sellers Agent to any Seller. Each Seller represents to the Sellers Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Sellers Agent or any other Seller, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of, and investigation into, the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Purchaser and its affiliates and made its own decision to make its sales hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Seller also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Sellers Agent or any other Seller, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Purchaser and its affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Sellers by the Sellers Agent hereunder, the Sellers Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Seller with any other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of the Purchaser or any affiliate of the Purchaser which may come into the possession of the Sellers Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates.

19.7. Indemnification. The Sellers agree to, jointly and severally, indemnify the Sellers Agent in its capacity as such from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including at any time following the payment of the Purchase Prices) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Sellers Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Sellers Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Seller shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements which are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the Sellers Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Clause 19.7 shall survive the payment of the Purchase Prices and all other amounts payable hereunder.

-48-

19.8. Agent in Its Individual Capacity. The Sellers Agent and its affiliates may make sales to, make purchases from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Seller, Purchaser or any Guarantor as though the Sellers Agent were not an Agent. With respect to its sales made or renewed by it the Sellers Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any Seller and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Seller” and “Sellers” shall include the Sellers Agent in its individual capacity.

19.9. Successor Sellers Agent. The Sellers Agent may resign as Sellers Agent upon 30 days’ notice to the Sellers, the Guarantors and Purchaser. If the Sellers Agent shall resign as Sellers Agent under this Agreement, then the Sellers shall appoint from among the Sellers a successor agent for the Sellers, whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Sellers Agent, and the term “Sellers Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Sellers Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Sellers Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Sellers Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any other Sellers. After any retiring Sellers Agent’s resignation as Sellers Agent, the provisions of this Clause 19 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Sellers Agent under this Agreement.

20. ALLOCATIONS AMONG THE SELLERS

20.1. Payments by the Servicer to the Sellers Agent. All payments of Purchase Price and all distributions to the Sellers Agent of Purchase Price pursuant to Clause 6.3 shall be allocated and applied among the Sellers on a pro rata basis, based on the respective amounts of outstanding Purchase Price owing to each Seller as of the relevant Allocation Date (in each case, the “Applicable Pro Rata Basis”), and as between Purchaser and Sellers, all such payments and distributions to the Sellers Agent shall be deemed to have been so allocated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Sellers and Sellers Agent may separately agree in writing that payments or distributions received by Sellers Agent will, as between the Sellers, be allocated, applied or disseminated on an alternative basis, and Sellers Agent may make payments and distributions to the Seller(s) in accordance with such agreement; provided that any such reallocation of payments or distributions and any other deviation by Sellers’ Agent from the Applicable Pro Rata Basis in making actual payments or distributions to the Seller(s), shall represent transfers solely among and between the Sellers and Sellers Agent, and for purposes of this Agreement, as between Sellers and Purchaser, all aforementioned payments and distributions to Sellers Agent shall be deemed to have been received by, and shall discharge Purchaser’s obligations with respect to, each Seller hereunder in accordance with the Applicable Pro Rata Basis, regardless of any such reallocations or transfers.

20.2. Payments by the Sellers. As among the Sellers, Sellers agree that any amounts that are payable by the Sellers hereunder in respect of Purchase Price Adjustments, Administrative Fees indemnification or otherwise on a joint and several basis shall be allocated among the Sellers as separately agreed among the Sellers in writing, and to the extent any Seller pays any amount in excess of the amount so allocated, the applicable Seller(s) shall reimburse such Seller so that after giving effect thereto each Seller shall have paid no more than its allocable portion.

21. SECURITY INTEREST

-49-

21.1. Security Interest. Each Seller, as security for the payment or performance, as the case may be, in full of the Secured Obligations, hereby grants to the Purchaser, its successors and assigns, a security interest in, all right, title and interest of such Seller in and to (i) the Collections Account, (ii) all funds on deposit therein, and (iii) all proceeds of the foregoing (together, the “Collateral”). The foregoing security interest is granted as security only and shall not subject the Purchaser to, or in any way alter or modify, any obligation or liability of any Seller with respect to or arising out of the Collateral.

21.2. Financing Statements. Each Seller hereby irrevocably authorizes the Purchaser at any time and from time to time to file in any relevant jurisdiction any initial financing statements with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof and amendments thereto that (i) indicate the Collateral as the Collections Account and all amounts on deposit therein or words of similar effect as being of an equal or lesser scope or with greater detail, and (ii) contain the information required by Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of each applicable jurisdiction for the filing of any financing statement or amendment, including whether such Seller is an organization, the type of organization and any organizational identification number issued to such Seller. Each Seller agrees to provide such information to the Purchaser promptly upon request.

Each Seller also ratifies its authorization for the Purchaser to file in any relevant jurisdiction any initial financing statements or amendments thereto covering the Collateral if filed prior to September 25, 2018.

For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 21.2 shall require the Purchaser to file financing statements or amendments thereto.

21.3. Remedies. Without limiting Section 12 of this Agreement, the Purchaser shall have the right, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Notification Event, with full power of substitution either in the Purchaser’s name or in the name of any Seller (a) to receive, endorse, assign and/or deliver any and all notes, acceptances, checks, drafts, money orders or other evidences of payment relating to the Collateral or any part thereof; (b) to demand, collect, receive payment of, give receipt for and give discharges and releases of all or any of the Collateral; (c) to sign the name of such Seller on any invoice or bill of lading relating to any of the Collateral; (d) to commence and prosecute any and all suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect or otherwise realize on all or any of the Collateral or to enforce any rights in respect of any Collateral; (e) to settle, compromise, compound, adjust or defend any actions, suits or proceedings relating to all or any of the Collateral; and (f) to use, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with all or any of the Collateral, and to do all other acts and things necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, as fully and completely as though the Purchaser were the absolute owner of the Collateral for all purposes; provided that nothing herein contained shall be construed as requiring or obligating the Purchaser to make any commitment or to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by the Purchaser, or to present or file any claim or notice, or to take any action with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof or the moneys due or to become due in respect thereof or any property covered thereby. The Purchaser shall be accountable only for amounts actually received as a result of the exercise of the powers granted to it herein, and neither it nor its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Seller for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

-50-

21.4. Application of Proceeds. The Purchaser shall apply the proceeds of any collection or sale of Collateral consisting of cash as follows:

FIRST, to the payment of all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Purchaser in connection with such collection or sale or otherwise in connection with this Agreement, the Control Agreement or any of the Secured Obligations, including all court costs and the reasonable fees and expenses of its agents and legal counsel, and any other reasonable costs or expenses incurred in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under the Control Agreement;

SECOND, to the payment in full of the Secured Obligations in the order and manner specified in Sections 6 and 7 hereof; and

THIRD, to Sellers, their respective successors or assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

The Purchaser shall have discretion as to the time of application of any such proceeds, moneys or balances in accordance with this Agreement, but agrees that all such proceeds, moneys and balances shall be applied in a reasonable time. Upon any sale of the Collateral by the Purchaser (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of the Purchaser or of the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the Purchaser or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof.
