Section 4.3    Financial Institution Discount Rates. Subject to Section 4.4, the Capital related to each outstanding Purchaser Interest of the Financial Institutions shall accrue Yield initially at the LIBO Rate.
Section 4.4    Suspension of the LIBO Rate.

7



appropriate to match fund its Purchaser Interest at such LIBO Rate are not available or (ii) such LIBO Rate does not accurately reflect the cost of acquiring or maintaining a Purchaser Interest at such LIBO Rate, then such Managing Agent shall notify the Seller, the Servicer and the Administrative Agent and shall suspend the availability of such LIBO Rate for the Financial Institutions in such Managing Agent’s Purchaser Group and the Base Rate shall apply to any Purchaser Interests funded by the Financial Institution in its related Purchaser Group for so long as such suspension shall persist.

The fundings under such Liquidity Agreement will accrue interest at the Discount Rate in accordance with this Article IV. Regardless of whether a funding of Purchaser Interests by the Financial Institutions constitutes the direct purchase of a Purchaser Interest hereunder, an assignment under the related Liquidity Agreement of a Purchaser Interest originally funded by a Conduit or the sale of one or more participations or other interests under the related Liquidity Agreement in a Purchaser Interest originally funded by a Conduit, each Financial Institution participating in a funding of a Purchaser Interest shall have the rights and obligations of a “Purchaser” hereunder with the same force and effect as if it had directly purchased such Purchaser Interest from the Seller hereunder.

(y)    Seller’s Indebtedness. The Seller has no Indebtedness other than Indebtedness arising under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents.
(z)    Other Representations and Warranties. The Seller has determined that this Agreement is effective to transfer to the Administrative Agent, the Managing Agents and the Purchasers, as assignees of the Seller, the full benefit of and a direct claim against LKQ, as Servicer, and each Originator in respect of each representation or warranty made by LKQ, as Servicer, and each Originator under any Transaction Document.
Section 5.2    Representations and Warranties of the Servicer. The Servicer hereby represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent, the Managing Agents and the Purchasers as of the date hereof and as of the date of each Incremental Purchase and the date of each Reinvestment that:
(a)    Corporate Existence and Power. The Servicer is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its state of incorporation. The Servicer is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation, and has and holds all corporate power and all governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals required to carry on its business in each jurisdiction in which its business is conducted, other than those qualifications, good standings, licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals the absence of which would not reasonably have a Material Adverse Effect.
(b)    Power and Authority; Due Authorization, Execution and Delivery. The execution and delivery by the Servicer of this Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which it is a party, and the performance of its obligations hereunder and thereunder are within

12



its corporate powers and authority and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on its part. This Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which the Servicer is a party has been duly executed and delivered by the Servicer.
(c)    No Conflict. The execution and delivery by the Servicer of this Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which it is a party, and the performance of its obligations hereunder and thereunder do not contravene or violate (i) its certificate or articles of incorporation or by-laws, (ii) any law, rule or regulation applicable to it other than any contravention or violation which would not reasonably have an Material Adverse Effect, (iii) any restrictions under any agreement, contract or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of its property is bound other than any contravention or violation which would not reasonably have an Material Adverse Effect, or (iv) any order, writ, judgment, award, injunction or decree binding on or affecting it or its property other than any contravention or violation which would not reasonably have an Material Adverse Effect, and do not result in the creation or imposition of any Adverse Claim on any assets of the Servicer or its Subsidiaries (except as created hereunder) and no transaction contemplated hereby requires compliance with any bulk sales act or similar law.
(d)    Governmental Authorization. No authorization or approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental authority or regulatory body is required for the due execution and delivery by the Servicer of this Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which it is a party and the performance of its obligations hereunder and thereunder in its capacity as Servicer.
(e)    Actions, Suits. Other than as disclosed on Schedule C, there are no actions, suits or proceedings pending, or to the best of the Servicer’s knowledge, threatened, against or affecting the Servicer, or any of its properties, in or before any court, arbitrator or other body that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Servicer is not in default with respect to any order of any court, arbitrator or governmental body applicable to it or its properties other than defaults which would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(f)    Binding Effect. This Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which the Servicer is a party constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Servicer enforceable against the Servicer in accordance with their respective 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).
(g)    Accuracy of Information. All information heretofore furnished by the Servicer or any of its Affiliates to the Administrative Agent, any Managing Agent or any Purchaser for purposes of or in connection with this Agreement, any of the other Transaction Documents or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby is, and all such information hereafter furnished by the Servicer or any of its Affiliates to the Administrative Agent, any Managing Agent or any Purchaser (including all Monthly Reports) will be, true and accurate in every material respect on the date such information is stated or certified and, when considered as a whole, does not and will not contain any material misstatement of fact or omit to state a

Each Purchased Receivable, together with the Contract and Invoice related thereto, does not contravene any laws, rules or regulations applicable to the collection and servicing thereof (including, without limitation, laws, rules and regulations relating to fair credit billing, fair credit reporting, fair debt collection practices and privacy), unless such contravention would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No part of any Contract or Invoice related to any Purchased Receivable is in violation of any such law, rule or regulation, except where such violation would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(k)    Compliance with Credit and Collection Policy. The Servicer has complied in all material respects with the Credit and Collection Policy with regard to each Purchased Receivable and the related Contract and Invoice, and has not made any change to such Credit and Collection Policy, other than as permitted under Section 7.2(c), and in compliance with the notification requirements in Section 7.1(a)(vii).

22



Business Days following receipt thereof, and, at all times prior to such remittance, the Seller will itself hold or, if applicable, will cause such payments to be held in trust for the exclusive benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Managing Agents and the Purchasers.

Except as may be required by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.2(b), such Seller Party will not add or terminate any bank as a Collection Bank, or make any change in the instructions to Obligors regarding payments to be made to any Lock-Box or Collection Account, unless the Administrative Agent and each Managing Agent shall have received, at least ten (10) days before the proposed effective date therefor, (i) written notice of such addition, termination or change and (ii) with respect to the addition of a Collection Bank or a Collection Account or Lock-Box, an executed Collection Account Agreement with respect to the new Collection Account or Lock-Box; provided, however, that the Servicer may make changes in instructions to Obligors regarding payments if such new instructions require such Obligor to make payments to another existing Collection Account.
(c)    Modifications to Contracts, Invoices and Credit and Collection Policy. Such Seller Party will not, and will not permit any Originator to, amend, modify or otherwise make any change to the Credit and Collection Policy or any Contract or Invoice that could adversely affect the collectibility of the Receivables or decrease the credit quality of any newly created Receivables. Except as provided in Section 8.2(c), the Servicer will not, and will not permit any Originator to, extend, amend or otherwise modify the terms of any Purchased Receivable or any Invoice related thereto other than in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy without the prior written consent of each Managing Agent in compliance with the notification requirements in Section 7.1(a)(vii).
(d)    Sales, Liens. The Seller 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, any Purchased Receivable, or upon or with respect to any Contract or Invoice under which any Purchased Receivable arises, or any Lock-Box or Collection 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 the Administrative Agent, the Managing Agents and the Purchasers provided for herein), and the Seller will defend the right, title and interest of the Administrative Agent, the Managing Agents and the Purchasers in, to and under any of the foregoing property, against all claims of third parties claiming through or under the Seller or any Originator. The Seller will not create or suffer to exist any mortgage, pledge, security interest, encumbrance, lien, charge or other similar arrangement on any of its inventory, the financing or lease of which gives rise to any Receivable.

ARTICLE VIII
ADMINISTRATION AND COLLECTION
Section 8.1    Designation of the Servicer.
(a)    The servicing, administration and collection of the Receivables shall be conducted by such Person (the “Servicer”) so designated from time to time in accordance with this Section 8.1. LKQ is hereby designated as, and hereby agrees to perform the duties and obligations of, the Servicer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. At any time following the occurrence of an Amortization Event, the Administrative Agent may, and shall, at the direction of any Managing Agent, at any time upon at least five (5) Business Days’ notice designate as the Servicer any Person to succeed LKQ or any successor Servicer.
(b)    Without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, LKQ shall not be permitted to delegate any of its duties or responsibilities as the Servicer to any Person other than (i) an Originator with respect to the Receivables originated by it, and (ii) with respect to certain Defaulted Receivables, outside collection agencies in accordance with its customary practices. None of the Originators shall be permitted to further delegate to any other Person. If at any time, in accordance with Section 8.1(a), the Administrative Agent shall designate as the Servicer any Person other than LKQ, all duties and responsibilities theretofore delegated by LKQ to any Originator may, at the discretion of the Administrative Agent, and shall, at the direction of any Managing Agent, be terminated forthwith on notice given by the Administrative Agent to LKQ.
(c)    Notwithstanding the foregoing subsection (b), (i) The Servicer shall be and remain primarily liable to the Administrative Agent, the Managing Agents and the Purchasers for the full and prompt performance of all duties and responsibilities of the Servicer hereunder and (ii) the Administrative Agent, the Managing Agents and the Purchasers shall be entitled to deal exclusively with Person serving as Servicer in matters relating to the discharge by the Servicer of its duties and responsibilities hereunder. The Administrative Agent, the Managing Agents and the Purchasers shall not be required to give notice, demand or other communication to any Person other than the Servicer in order for communication to the Servicer and its sub-servicer or other delegate with respect thereto to be accomplished. LKQ, at all times that it is the Servicer, shall be responsible for providing any sub-servicer or other delegate of the Servicer with any notice given to the Servicer under this Agreement.
Section 8.2    Duties of Servicer. (a) The Servicer shall take or cause to be taken all such actions as may be necessary or advisable to collect each Receivable from time to time, all in accordance with applicable laws, rules and regulations, with reasonable care and diligence, and in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy.

25



(b)    The Servicer will instruct all Obligors to pay all Collections directly to a Lock-Box or Collection Account. The Servicer shall enter into a Collection Account Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit VI (or such other form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent) with each Collection Bank. The Seller and the Servicer shall not deposit or otherwise credit, on or after October 1, 2012, and shall not permit any other Person to deposit or otherwise credit to any Collection Account any cash or payment item other than Collections; provided, however, that it is acknowledged that, from time to time, there may be de-minimus amounts that are deposited in the Collection Account that are not Collections so long as (i) the Servicer, the Originator, and the Seller maintain books and records which clearly establish the amounts on deposit in such accounts that relate to Purchased Receivables and amounts that do not relate to Purchased Receivables (the “Unrelated Funds”), and the Seller will identify and remit the Unrelated Funds (or will cause all such Unrelated Funds to be identified and remitted) out of the Collection Account to the appropriate Person or account within two (2) Business Days following receipt thereof and (ii) the Unrelated Funds deposited in a Collection Account during any calendar month shall not exceed five percent (5.0%) of the aggregate monthly Collections on the Purchased Receivables. In the case of any remittances received in any Lock-Box or Collection Account that do not constitute Collections or other proceeds of the Purchased Receivables, including without limitation, the Unrelated Funds, the Servicer shall promptly remit such items to the owner of such remittances.
(c)    The Servicer shall administer the Collections in accordance with the procedures described herein and in Article II. The Servicer shall set aside and hold in trust for the account of the Seller and the Purchasers their respective shares of the Collections of the Receivables Assets in accordance with Article II. The Servicer shall, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, segregate, in a manner acceptable to the Administrative Agent, all cash, checks and other instruments received by it from time to time constituting Collections of the Receivables Assets from the general funds of the Servicer or the Seller prior to the remittance thereof in accordance with Article II. If the Servicer shall be required to segregate Collections of the Receivables Assets pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Servicer shall segregate and deposit with a bank designated by the Administrative Agent such allocable share of Collections of Receivables Assets set aside for the Purchasers on the first Business Day following receipt by the Servicer of such Collections, duly endorsed or with duly executed instruments of transfer.
(d)    The Servicer may, in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy, extend the maturity of any Purchased Receivable or adjust the Outstanding Balance of any Purchased Receivable as the Servicer determines to be appropriate to maximize Collections thereof; provided, however, that such extension or adjustment shall not alter the status of such Purchased Receivable as a Defaulted Receivable or limit the rights of the Administrative Agent, the Managing Agents or the Purchasers under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Administrative Agent shall have the absolute and unlimited right to direct the Servicer to commence or settle any legal action with respect to any Receivables Asset or to foreclose upon or repossess any Related Security.
(e)    The Servicer shall hold in trust for the Seller and the Purchasers all Records that (i) evidence or relate to the Purchased Receivables, the related Contracts, Invoices and Related Security or (ii) are otherwise necessary or desirable to collect the Purchased Receivables and shall, as soon as practicable upon demand of the Administrative Agent or any

26



Managing Agent, deliver or make available to the Administrative Agent all such Records, at a place selected by the Administrative Agent. The Servicer shall, as soon as practicable following receipt thereof turn over to the Seller any cash collections or other cash proceeds received with respect to indebtedness owed to the Seller not constituting Purchased Receivables. The Servicer shall, from time to time at the request of any Purchaser, furnish to the Purchasers (promptly after any such request) a calculation of the amounts set aside for the Purchasers pursuant to Article II.
(f)    Any payment by an Obligor in respect of any indebtedness owed by it to an Originator or the Seller shall, except as otherwise specified by such Obligor or otherwise required by contract or law and unless otherwise instructed by the Administrative Agent, be applied as a Collection of any Receivable of such Obligor (starting with the oldest such Receivable) to the extent of any amounts then due and payable thereunder before being applied to any other receivable or other obligation of such Obligor.
Section 8.3    Collection Notices. The Administrative Agent is authorized at any time after the occurrence of an Amortization Event, in accordance with the applicable Collection Account Agreements, to date and to deliver to the Collection Banks the Collection Notices. The Seller hereby transfers to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers, exclusive control of each Lock-Box and the Collection Accounts. In case any authorized signatory of the Seller whose signature appears on a Collection Account Agreement shall cease to have such authority before the delivery of such notice, such Collection Notice shall nevertheless be valid as if such authority had remained in force. The Seller hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent, and agrees that the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to, at any time after the occurrence of an Amortization Event, (i) endorse the Seller’s name on checks and other instruments representing Collections of Receivables Assets, (ii) enforce the Receivables, the related Contracts, Invoices and the Related Security and (iii) take such action as shall be necessary or desirable to cause all cash, checks and other instruments constituting Collections of Receivables Assets to come into the possession of the Administrative Agent rather than the Seller.
Section 8.4    Responsibilities of the Seller. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the exercise by the Administrative Agent, any Managing Agent or any Purchaser of its rights hereunder shall not release the Servicer, any Originator or the Seller from any of their duties or obligations with respect to any Receivables or under the related Contracts or Invoices. None of the Administrative Agent, the Managing Agents or the Purchasers shall have any obligation or liability with respect to any Receivables or related Contracts or Invoices, nor shall any of them be obligated to perform the obligations of the Seller.
Section 8.5    Reports. The Servicer shall prepare and forward to the Administrative Agent and each Managing Agent:
(i)    (A)    on the eighteenth (18th) calendar day of each month (or if such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day) (each such date, a “Monthly Reporting Date”) and at such times as the Administrative Agent or any Managing Agent shall request, a Monthly Report; and
(B)    at such times as the Administrative Agent or any Managing Agent shall have reasonable cause to make such request, a Weekly Report covering the period

27



from and including Monday of the preceding week to but excluding Monday of such week; and
(ii)    at such times as the Administrative Agent or any Managing Agent shall request, a listing by Obligor of all Receivables together with an aging of such Receivables.
Section 8.6    Servicing Fees. In consideration of LKQ’s agreement to act as the Servicer hereunder, the Purchasers hereby agree that, so long as LKQ shall continue to perform as the Servicer hereunder, LKQ shall be entitled to receive a fee (the “Servicing Fee”) on each Settlement Date, in arrears for the immediately preceding month, equal to the Servicing Fee Rate multiplied by the Net Receivables Balance during such period, as compensation for its servicing activities.

INDEMNIFICATION
Section 10.1    Indemnities by The Seller Parties. Without limiting any other rights that the Administrative Agent, any Managing Agents or any Purchaser may have hereunder or under applicable law, (A) the Seller hereby agrees to indemnify (and pay upon demand to) the Administrative Agent, each Managing Agent and each Purchaser and their respective assigns, officers, directors, agents and employees (each an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all damages, losses, claims, taxes, liabilities, costs, expenses and for all other

30



amounts payable, including reasonable attorneys’ fees (which attorneys may be employees of the Administrative Agent, such Managing Agent or Purchaser) and disbursements (all of the foregoing being collectively referred to as “Indemnified Amounts”) awarded against or incurred by any of them arising out of or as a result of this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or the acquisition, either directly or indirectly, by a Purchaser of an interest in the Receivables, and (B) the Servicer hereby agrees to indemnify (and pay upon demand to) each Indemnified Party for Indemnified Amounts awarded against or incurred by any of them arising out of its activities as the Servicer hereunder excluding, however, in all of the foregoing instances under the preceding clauses (A) and (B):

provided, however, that nothing contained in this sentence shall limit the liability of any Seller Party or limit the recourse of any Indemnified Party to any Seller Party for amounts otherwise specifically provided to be paid by such Seller Party under the terms of this Agreement.

(xii)    the failure to have filed, or any delay in filing, financing statements or other similar instruments or documents under the UCC of any applicable jurisdiction or other applicable laws;

Section 11.4    Reliance by the Administrative Agent and the Managing Agents. The Administrative Agent and the Managing Agents 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 the Seller), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent or any Managing Agent. Each of the Administrative Agent and each Managing 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 related Purchaser Group Conduit or the Required Financial Institutions or all of the Purchasers, as applicable, as it deems appropriate and it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Purchasers, provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent or such Managing Agent shall have received such advice, the Administrative Agent or such Managing Agent may take or refrain from taking any action, as the Administrative Agent or such Managing Agent shall deem advisable and in the best interests of the Purchasers. The Administrative Agent and the Managing Agents shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, in accordance with a request of its related Purchaser Group or the Required Financial Institutions or all of the Purchasers, as applicable, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Purchasers.
Section 11.5    Non-Reliance on the Administrative Agent, the Managing Agents and Other Purchasers. Each Purchaser expressly acknowledges that none of the Administrative Agent, the Managing Agents, or any of their 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 or any Managing Agent hereafter taken, including, without limitation, any review of the affairs of any Seller Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent or such Managing Agent. Each Purchaser represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Managing Agents that it has and will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Managing Agents or any other Purchaser and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, prospects, financial and other conditions and creditworthiness of the Seller and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and all other documents related hereto or thereto.

The Administrative Agent, each Managing Agent and each of their respective Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Seller or any Affiliate of the Seller as though it were not the Administrative Agent or a Managing Agent hereunder. With respect to the acquisition of Purchaser Interests pursuant to this Agreement, the Administrative Agent and each Managing 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 or a Managing Agent, and the terms “Financial Institution,” “Purchaser,” “Financial Institutions” and “Purchasers” shall include the Agent in its individual capacity, as applicable.
Section 11.8    Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may, upon five days’ notice to the Seller and the Purchasers, and the Administrative Agent will, upon the direction of all of the Purchasers (other than the Administrative Agent, in its individual capacity) resign as Administrative Agent. If the Administrative Agent shall resign, then the Required Financial Institutions during such five-day period shall appoint from among the Purchasers a successor administrative agent. If for any reason no successor Administrative Agent is appointed by the Required Financial Institutions during such five-day period, then effective upon the termination of such five-day period, the Managing Agents shall perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents with respect to its Purchaser Group and the Seller and the Servicer (as applicable) shall make all payments in respect of the Aggregate Unpaids that would otherwise be payable directly to the Administrative Agent directly to the applicable Managing Agents and for all purposes shall deal directly with the Managing Agents as they would the Administrative Agent.

Further, the Seller and each Financial Institution hereby agree that any assignee of any Conduit of this Agreement or all or any of the Purchaser Interests of such Conduit shall have all of the rights and benefits under this Agreement as if the term “Conduit” explicitly referred to such party, and no such assignment shall in any way impair the rights and benefits of such Conduit hereunder. Neither the Seller nor the Servicer shall have the right to assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement.
(c)    Any Financial Institution may at any time and from time to time assign to one or more Eligible Assignee (“Purchasing Financial Institutions”) all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to an assignment agreement, substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit VII hereto (the “Assignment Agreement”) executed by such Purchasing Financial Institution and such selling Financial Institution. The consent of the Conduits in such Financial Institution’s Purchaser Group shall be required prior to the effectiveness of any such assignment. Each assignee of a Financial Institution must (i) have a short-term debt rating of A-1 or better by S&P and P-1 by Moody’s and (ii) agree to deliver to the Administrative Agent and the related Managing Agent, promptly following any request therefor by the Managing Agent for

38



its Purchaser Group or the affected Conduits, an enforceability opinion in form and substance satisfactory to such Managing Agent and such Conduit or Conduits. Upon delivery of the executed Assignment Agreement to the related Managing Agent and the Administrative Agent, such selling Financial Institution shall be released from its obligations hereunder to the extent of such assignment. Thereafter the Purchasing Financial Institution shall for all purposes be a Financial Institution party to this Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Financial Institution under this Agreement to the same extent as if it were an original party hereto and no further consent or action by the Seller, the Purchasers, the Managing Agents or the Administrative Agent shall be required.
Section 12.2    Participations. Any Financial Institution may, in the ordinary course of its business, at any time sell to one or more Persons (each a “Participant”) participating interests in its Pro Rata Share of the Purchaser Interests of such Financial Institutions or any other interest of such Financial Institution hereunder. Notwithstanding any such sale by a Financial Institution of a participating interest to a Participant, such Financial Institution’s rights and obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Financial Institution shall remain solely responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and the Conduits, the Managing Agents, the Administrative Agent and the Seller shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Financial Institution in connection with such Financial Institution’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Each Financial Institution agrees that any agreement between such Financial Institution and any such Participant in respect of such participating interest shall not restrict such Financial Institution’s right to agree to any amendment, supplement, waiver or modification to this Agreement, except for any amendment, supplement, waiver or modification described in Section 13.1(b)(i).
Section 12.3    Additional Purchaser Groups. Upon the Seller’s request with approval of the Administrative Agent and each Managing Agent, an additional Purchaser Group may be added to this Agreement at any time by the execution and delivery of a Joinder Agreement by the members of such proposed additional Purchaser Group, the Seller, the Servicer, the Administrative Agent and each Managing Agent. Upon the effective date of such Joinder Agreement, (i) each Person specified therein as a “Conduit” shall become a party hereto as a Conduit, entitled to the rights and subject to the obligations of a Conduit hereunder, (ii) each Person specified therein as a “Financial Institution” shall become a party hereto as a Financial Institution, entitled to the rights and subject to the obligations of a Financial Institution hereunder, (iii) each Person specified therein as a “Managing Agent” shall become a party hereto as a Managing Agent, entitled to the rights and subject to the obligations of a Managing Agent hereunder and (iv) the Purchase Limit shall be increased by an amount equal to the aggregate Commitments of the Financial Institutions party to such Joinder Agreement.
Section 12.4    Non-Renewing Financial Institutions.
(a)    Each Financial Institution hereby agrees to deliver written notice to the Managing Agent in its Purchaser Group not more than 30 Business Days and not less than 5 Business Days prior to the Liquidity Termination Date indicating whether such Financial Institution intends to renew its Commitment hereunder. If any Financial Institution fails to deliver such notice on or prior to the date that is 5 Business Days prior to the Liquidity Termination Date, such Financial Institution will be deemed to have declined to renew its

39



Commitment (each Financial Institution which has declined or has been deemed to have declined to renew its Commitment hereunder, a “Non-Renewing Financial Institution”). The Managing Agent in such Financial Institution’s Purchaser Group shall promptly notify the Conduits in the related Purchaser Group of each Non-Renewing Financial Institution and each such Conduit, in its sole discretion, may (i) to the extent of Commitment Availability, declare that such Non-Renewing Financial Institution’s Commitment shall, to such extent, automatically terminate on a date specified by such Conduit on or before the Liquidity Termination Date or (ii) upon one (1) Business Day’s notice to such Non-Renewing Financial Institution assign to such Non-Renewing Financial Institution on a date specified by such Conduit its ratable share of the aggregate Purchaser Interests then held by the Conduit, subject to, and in accordance with, a Liquidity Agreement. The parties hereto expressly acknowledge that any declaration of the termination of any Commitment, any assignment pursuant to this Section 12.4 and the order of priority of any such termination or assignment among Non-Renewing Financial Institutions shall be made by the Conduits in the related Purchaser Group in their sole and absolute discretion.
(b)    Upon any assignment to a Non-Renewing Financial Institution as provided in this Section 12.4, any remaining Commitment of such Non-Renewing Financial Institution shall automatically terminate. Upon reduction to zero of the Capital of all of the Purchaser Interests of a Non-Renewing Financial Institution (after application of Collections thereto pursuant to Sections 2.2 and 2.4) all rights and obligations of such Non-Renewing Financial Institution hereunder shall be terminated and such Non-Renewing Financial Institution shall no longer be a “Financial Institution” hereunder; provided, however, that the provisions of Article X shall continue in effect for its benefit with respect to Purchaser Interests held by such Non-Renewing Financial Institution prior to its termination as a Financial Institution.
Section 12.5    Federal Reserve. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any Financial Institution may at any time pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its rights (including, without limitation, any Purchaser Interest and any rights to payment of Capital and Yield) under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Financial Institution to a Federal Reserve Bank, without notice to or consent of the Seller, the Administrative Agent, the applicable Managing Agent or any other Person; provided that no such pledge or grant of a security interest shall release a Financial Institution from any of its obligations hereunder, or substitute any such pledgee or grantee for such Financial Institution as a party hereto.

Section 13.4    Protection of Ownership Interests of the Purchasers.
(a)    The Seller agrees that from time to time, at its expense, it will promptly execute and deliver all instruments and documents, and take all actions, that may be necessary or desirable, or that the Administrative Agent or any Managing Agent may reasonably request, to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the sale and assignment of the Purchaser Interests, or to enable the Administrative Agent, the Managing Agents or the Purchasers to exercise and enforce their rights and remedies hereunder. At any time after the occurrence of an Amortization Event, the Administrative Agent may, or the Administrative Agent may direct the Seller or the Servicer to, notify the Obligors of Receivables Assets, at the Seller’s expense, of the ownership or security interests of the Purchasers under this Agreement and may also direct that payments of all amounts due or that become due under any or all Receivables Assets be made directly to the Administrative Agent or its designee. The Seller or the Servicer (as applicable) shall, at any Purchaser’s request, withhold the identity of such Purchaser in any such notification.

42



(b)    If any Seller Party fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder, the Administrative Agent, any Managing Agent or any Purchaser may (but shall not be required to) perform, or cause performance of, such obligations, and the Administrative Agent’s, such Managing Agent’s or such Purchaser’s costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the Seller as provided in Section 10.3.

(a) It is the intention of the parties hereto that each purchase hereunder shall constitute and be treated as an absolute and irrevocable sale, which purchase shall provide the Purchasers or the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers, with the full benefits of ownership of the applicable Purchaser Interests. Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, each sale of Purchaser Interests hereunder is made without recourse to the Seller; provided, however, that (i) the Seller shall be liable to each Purchaser, each Managing Agent and the Administrative Agent for all representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities made by the Seller pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and (ii) such sale does not constitute and is not intended to result in an assumption by any Purchaser, any Managing Agent or the Administrative Agent or any assignee thereof of any obligation of the Seller or any Originator or any other person arising in connection with the Receivables, the Related Security, or the related Contracts or Invoices, or any other obligations of the Seller or any Originator.
(b)    In addition to any ownership interest which the Purchasers or the Administrative Agent may from time to time acquire pursuant hereto, the Seller hereby grants to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Managing Agents and the Purchasers a valid security interest in all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under the following assets, now existing or hereafter arising: (i) all Purchased Receivables, (ii) the Collections

46



relating to Purchased Receivables, (iii) each Lock-Box, (iv) each Collection Account, (v) all Related Security, (vi) all other rights and payments relating to such Purchased Receivables, (vii) all of the Seller’s rights, title, and interest in, to and under the Receivables Sale Agreement (including, without limitation, (a) all rights to indemnification arising thereunder and (b) all UCC financing statements filed pursuant thereto), (viii) all proceeds of any of the foregoing, and (ix) all other assets of the Seller in which the Purchasers or the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Managing Agents and the Purchasers has acquired, may hereafter acquire and/or purports to have acquired an interest hereunder to secure the prompt and complete payment of the Aggregate Unpaids, which security interest shall be prior to all other Adverse Claims thereto. The Administrative Agent, the Managing Agents and the Purchasers shall have, in addition to the rights and remedies that 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. The Seller hereby authorizes, within the meaning of 9-509 of any applicable enactment of the UCC, the Administrative Agent as secured party for the benefit of itself, the Managing Agents and of the Purchasers, (x) to file, without the signature of the Seller or any Originator, as debtors, the UCC financing statements contemplated herein and under the Receivables Sale Agreement and (y) to include, on any financing statement filed against the Seller, the collateral description: “all of the Debtor’s personal property and other assets, whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or arising, and wheresoever located, together with all products and proceeds thereof, substitutions and replacements therefor, and additions and accessions thereto.”
(c)    If, notwithstanding the intention of the parties expressed above, any sale or transfer by the Seller hereunder shall be characterized as a secured loan and not a sale or such sale shall for any reason be ineffective or unenforceable (any of the foregoing being a “Recharacterization”), then this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a security agreement under the UCC and other applicable law. In the case of any Recharacterization, each of the Seller and the Administrative Agent, each Managing Agent and each Purchaser represents and warrants as to itself that each remittance of Collections by the Seller to the Administrative Agent, any Managing Agent or any Purchaser hereunder will have been (i) in payment of a debt incurred by the Seller in the ordinary course of business or financial affairs of the Seller, the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser and (ii) made in the ordinary course of business or financial affairs of the Seller, the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser.
(d)    In connection with the Seller’s transfer of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Receivables Sale Agreement, the Seller agrees that the Administrative Agent shall have the right to enforce the Seller’s rights and remedies under the Receivables Sale Agreement, to receive all amounts payable thereunder or in connection therewith, to consent to amendments, modifications or waivers thereof, and to direct, instruct or request any action thereunder, but in each case without any obligation on the part of the Administrative Agent, any Managing Agent or any Purchaser or any of its or their respective Affiliates to perform any of the obligations of the Seller under the Receivables Sale Agreement. To the extent that the Seller enforces the Seller’s rights and remedies under the Receivables Sale Agreement, from and after the occurrence of an Amortization Event, and during the continuance thereof, the Administrative Agent shall have the exclusive right to direct such enforcement by the Seller.

L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”) hereby notifies the Seller Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Seller Party, which information includes the name and address of the each Seller Party and other information that will allow such Committed Purchaser to identify each Seller Party in accordance with the Act.

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all terms of an accounting or financial nature shall be construed in accordance with GAAP, as in effect from time to time; provided that, if the Seller notifies the Administrative Agent that the Seller requests an amendment to any provision hereof to eliminate the effect of any change occurring after the date hereof in GAAP or in the application thereof on the operation of such provision (or if the Administrative Agent notifies the Seller that the Required Financial Institutions request an amendment to any provision hereof for such purpose), regardless of whether any such notice is given before or after such change in GAAP or in the application thereof, then such provision shall be interpreted on the basis of GAAP as in effect and applied immediately before such change shall have become effective until such notice shall have been withdrawn or such provision amended in accordance herewith. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, all terms of an accounting or financial nature used herein shall be construed, and all computations of amounts and ratios referred to herein shall be made (i) without giving effect to any election under Accounting Standards Codification 825-10-25 (or any other Accounting Standards Codification or Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any Indebtedness or other liabilities of the Company or any Subsidiary at "fair value", as defined therein and (ii) without giving effect to any treatment of Indebtedness in respect of convertible debt instruments under Accounting Standards Codification 470-20 (or any other Accounting Standards Codification or Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any such Indebtedness in a reduced or bifurcated manner as described therein, and such Indebtedness shall at all times be valued at the full stated principal amount thereof.
