The Sub-Originator and the Buyer intend each such transaction to be a true sale and conveyance of Receivables and the Related Rights by the Sub-Originator to the Buyer, providing the Buyer with the full benefits of ownership of the Receivables, and the Sub-Originator and the Buyer do not intend the transactions hereunder to be characterized as a loan from the Buyer to the Sub-Originator.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements herein contained, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

SECTION 1.1 Agreement To Purchase and Sell. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Sub-Originator agrees to sell to the Buyer, and the Buyer agrees to purchase from the Sub-Originator, from time to time on or after the Closing Date, but before the Purchase and Sale Termination Date (as defined in Section 1.4), all of the Sub-Originator’s right, title and interest in and to:

(b) each Receivable generated or otherwise acquired by the Sub-Originator from and including the Cut-Off Date to but excluding the Purchase and Sale Termination Date;

(c) all of the Sub-Originator’s interest in any goods (including returned goods), and documentation of title evidencing the shipment or storage of any goods (including returned goods), the sale of which gave rise to such Receivable;

(f) solely to the extent applicable to such Receivable, all of the Sub-Originator’s rights, interests and claims under the related Contracts and all guaranties, indemnities, insurance and other agreements (including the related Contract) or arrangements of whatever character from time to time supporting or securing payment of such Receivable or otherwise relating to such Receivable, whether pursuant to the Contract related to such Receivable or otherwise;

(g) all books and records of the Sub-Originator to the extent related to any of the foregoing, and all rights, remedies, powers, privileges, title and interest (but not obligations) in and to each Lock-Box and all Collection Accounts, into which any Collections or other proceeds with respect to such Receivables may be deposited, and any related investment property acquired with any such Collections or other proceeds (as such term is defined in the applicable UCC); and

(h) all Collections and other proceeds (as defined in the UCC) of any of the foregoing that are or were received by the Sub-Originator on or after the Cut-Off Date, including, without limitation, all funds which either are received by the Sub-Originator, the Buyer or the Servicer from or on behalf of the Obligors in payment of any amounts owed (including, without limitation, invoice price, finance charges, interest and all other charges) in respect of any of the above Receivables or are applied to such amounts owed by the Obligors (including, without limitation, any insurance payments that the Sub-Originator, the Buyer or the

Servicer applies in the ordinary course of its business to amounts owed in respect of any of the above Receivables, and net proceeds of sale or other disposition of repossessed goods or other collateral or property of the Obligors in respect of any of the above Receivables or any other parties directly or indirectly liable for payment of such Receivables).

All purchases hereunder shall be made without recourse, but shall be made pursuant to, and in reliance upon, the representations, warranties and covenants of the Sub-Originator set forth in this Agreement. No obligation or liability to any Obligor on any Receivable is intended to be assumed by the Buyer hereunder, and any such assumption is expressly disclaimed. The property, proceeds and rights described in clauses (c) through (h) above are herein referred to as the “Related Rights”, and the Buyer’s foregoing commitment to purchase Receivables and Related Rights is herein called the “Purchase Facility.”

(a) Closing Date Purchases. Effective on the Closing Date, the Sub-Originator hereby sells to the Buyer, and the Buyer hereby purchases, the Sub-Originator’s entire right, title and interest in, to and under (i) each Receivable that existed and was owing to the Sub-Originator at the Cut-Off Date, (ii) each Receivable generated or otherwise acquired by the Sub-Originator from and including the Cut-Off Date, to and including the Closing Date, and (iii) all Related Rights with respect thereto.

(b) Subsequent Purchases. After the Closing Date, until the Purchase and Sale Termination Date, each Receivable and the Related Rights generated or otherwise acquired by the Sub-Originator shall be, and shall be deemed to have been, sold by the Sub-Originator to the Buyer immediately (and without further action) upon the creation, sale or purported sale of such Receivable, as applicable.

SECTION 1.3 Consideration for Purchases. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Buyer agrees to make Purchase Price payments to the Sub-Originator in accordance with Article III.

SECTION 1.4 Purchase and Sale Termination Date. The “Purchase and Sale Termination Date” shall be the earlier to occur of (a) the date the Purchase Facility is terminated pursuant to Section 8.2(a) and (b) the date elected by the Sub-Originator (such date, the “Elected Date”) in a written notice received by the Buyer and the Administrative Agent from such Sub-Originator specifying that such Sub-Originator wishes to terminate this Agreement, so long as each of the Voluntary Termination Conditions are satisfied as of the Elected Date and (c) the Final Payout Date.

For purpose of this Section 1.4, “Voluntary Termination Conditions” means, as of any date of determination, the satisfaction of each of the following conditions:

(i) the Elected Date is no earlier than the date that written notice has been delivered to the Buyer and the Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (b) of the definition of “Purchase and Sale Termination Date”;

(ii) as of the Elected Date, either (a) no Release has occurred on or prior to the Elected Date in violation of Section 6.03 of the Receivables Financing Agreement or (b) if any Release has occurred on or prior to the Elected Date in violation of Section 6.03 of the Receivables Financing Agreement, the Servicer has deposited into the LC Collateral Account (or, if elected by the Administrative Agent, transferred to the Administrative Agent) on the Elected Date, the aggregate amount of Collections so released to the SPV or any other Person in violation of such Section;

(iii) the Sub-Originator (or the Servicer on its behalf) has provided a written report to the Buyer and the Administrative Agent on the Elected Date (such report, the “Voluntary Termination Report”), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Buyer and the Administrative Agent, which Voluntary Termination Report shall include, without limitation, (a) a pro forma Information Package as of the Business Day immediately preceding the Elected Date and (b) a written analysis demonstrating each of the following: (I) the amount of Collections received on each day during the prior sixty days, (II) the amount of Receivables transferred and conveyed to the SPV on each day during the prior sixty days, (III) the amount of Collections transferred out of the Collection Accounts on each day during the prior sixty days, (IV) the method of consideration given to the SPV for each of the Receivables transferred and conveyed to the SPV on each day during the prior sixty days and (V) the Borrowing Base (and each component thereof) as of each day during the prior sixty days;

(v) the Sub-Originator has delivered (or caused the Servicer to deliver) notice to each Collection Account Bank that the Administrative Agent is permitted to exercise its rights to take control over each of the Collection Accounts.

SECTION 1.5 Intention of the Parties. It is the express intent of the Sub-Originator and the Buyer that each conveyance by the Sub-Originator to the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement of the Receivables, including without limitation, all Receivables, if any, constituting general intangibles as defined in the UCC, and all Related Rights be a true sale and be construed as a valid and perfected sale and an absolute and irrevocable assignment (without recourse except as provided herein) of such Receivables and Related Rights by the Sub-Originator to the Buyer (rather than the grant of a security interest to secure a debt or other obligation of the Sub-Originator) providing the Buyer with the full benefits of ownership and that the right, title and interest in and to such Receivables and Related Rights conveyed to the Buyer be prior to the rights of and enforceable against all other Persons at any time, including, without limitation, lien creditors, secured lenders, purchasers and any Person claiming through the Sub-Originator. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) this Agreement also shall be deemed to be, and hereby is, a security agreement within the meaning of the UCC and (ii) the Sub-Originator shall be deemed to have granted to the Buyer as of the date of this Agreement, and the Sub-Originator hereby grants to the Buyer a security interest in, to and under all of the Sub-Originator’s right, title and interest in and to: (A) the Receivables and the Related Rights now existing and hereafter created, generated or otherwise acquired by the Sub-Originator and sold or purported to be sold to the Buyer hereunder, (B) all monies due or to become due and all amounts received with respect thereto and (C) all books and records of the Sub-Originator to the extent related to any of the foregoing.

SECTION 2.1 Purchase Report. On the Closing Date and on each date when an Information Package is due to be delivered under the Receivables Financing Agreement (each such date, a “Monthly Purchase Report Date”), the Servicer shall deliver to the Buyer and the Sub-Originator a report in substantially the form of Exhibit A (each such report being herein called a “Purchase Report”) setting forth, among other things:

(a) Receivables purchased by the Buyer from the Sub-Originator on the Closing Date (in the case of the Purchase Report to be delivered on the Closing Date);

(b) Receivables purchased by the Buyer from the Sub-Originator during the calendar month immediately preceding such Monthly Purchase Report Date (in the case of each subsequent Purchase Report); and

(a) The Purchase Price for each Receivable and the Related Rights that are purchased hereunder from the Sub-Originator shall become owing in full by the Buyer to the Sub-Originator or its designee on the date each such Receivable comes into existence and shall be paid not later than the next Payment Date in accordance with the terms of Article III.

(b) Although the Purchase Price for each Receivable and the Related Rights purchased after the date hereof shall be due and payable by the Buyer to the Sub-Originator on the date such Receivable comes into existence, for administrative convenience, a precise reconciliation of the Purchase Prices between Buyer and the Sub-Originator shall be effected on a Payment Date with respect to all Receivables sold during the Interest Period (or portion thereof) most recently ended prior to such Payment Date; provided, however, that the Sub-Originator shall maintain (or cause the Servicer to maintain) such books and records as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that such reconciliation, if requested by the Buyer, may be performed on any Business Day.

(c) The “Purchase Price” for each Receivable and the Related Rights that are purchased hereunder shall be determined in accordance with the following formula:

“Payment Date” means (i) the Closing Date and (ii) each Settlement Date thereafter.

“Sale Date” means, with respect to any Receivable, the date such Receivable is sold or purportedly sold to the Buyer hereunder.

“Discount Factor” means a percentage calculated to provide the Buyer with a reasonable return on its investment in the Receivables after taking account of (i) the time value of money based upon the anticipated dates of collection of the Receivables and the cost to the Buyer of financing its investment in the Receivables during such period and (ii) the risk of nonpayment by the Obligors. Each of the Sub-Originator and the Buyer may agree from time to time and at any time to change the Discount Factor based on changes in one or more of the items affecting the calculation thereof; provided, that any change to the Discount Factor shall take effect as of the commencement of an Interest Period, shall apply only prospectively and shall not affect the Purchase Price payment made prior to the Interest Period during which each of the Sub-Originator and the Buyer agree to make such change. As of the date of this Agreement, the Discount Factor is 0.50%.

(a) On the Closing Date, the Sub-Originator shall, and hereby does, sell to the Buyer, Receivables and Related Rights consisting of each Receivable of the Sub-Originator that exists and is owing to the Sub-Originator on the Cut-Off Date.

(b) On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, on the Closing Date the Buyer agrees to pay to the Sub-Originator the Purchase Price in cash for the purchase to be made from the Sub-Originator on the Closing Date.

SECTION 3.2 Subsequent Purchase Price Payments. On each Payment Date subsequent to the Closing Date, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Buyer shall pay the Purchase Price to the Sub-Originator for the Receivables and the Related Rights generated or otherwise acquired by the Sub-Originator during the Interest Period (or portion thereof) most recently ended prior to such Payment Date in cash and/or, if requested by the Sub-Originator and permitted under the Receivables Financing Agreement, by causing the SPV to cause the LC Bank to issue one or more Letters of Credit in accordance with Section 3.3 and on the terms and conditions for issuing Letters of Credit under the Receivables Financing Agreement.

If the Buyer is unable to pay the Purchase Price in full in accordance with Section 3.2, the Sub-Originator shall promptly deliver notice to such effect to the Buyer and the Administrative Agent, whereupon the Purchase and Sale Termination Date shall occur on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 1.4.

(a) The Sub-Originator may request that the Purchase Price for Receivables sold on a Sale Date be paid by the Buyer procuring the issuance of a Letter of Credit by the LC Bank. Upon the request of the Sub-Originator, and on the terms and conditions for issuing Letters of Credit under the Receivables Financing Agreement (including any limitations therein on the amount of any such issuance), the Buyer agrees to obtain from the SPV one or more Letters of Credit issued by the LC Bank on the Sale Dates specified by the Sub-Originator, on behalf of the SPV (and, if applicable, for the benefit, or for the account of, the Sub-Originator or an Affiliate of the Sub-Originator that is acceptable to the LC Bank in its sole discretion) in favor of the beneficiaries elected by the Sub-Originator or such Affiliate of the Sub-Originator, with the consent of the Buyer. The aggregate stated amount of the Letters of Credit being issued on any Sale Date for the benefit of the Sub-Originator or an Affiliate of the Sub-Originator shall constitute a credit against the aggregate Purchase Price otherwise payable by the Buyer to the Sub-Originator on the following Payment Date pursuant to Section 3.2. To the extent that the aggregate stated amount of the Letters of Credit being issued during the Interest Period (or portion thereof) most recently ended prior to such Payment Date exceeds the aggregate Purchase Price payable by the Buyer to the Sub-Originator on such Payment Date, such excess shall be deemed to be a reduction in the Purchase Price payable on the Payment Dates immediately following the date any such Letter of Credit is issued. In the event that any such Letter of Credit issued pursuant to this Section 3.3 (i) expires or is cancelled or otherwise terminated with all or any portion of its stated amount undrawn, (ii) has its stated amount decreased (for a reason other than a drawing having been made thereunder) or (iii) the SPV’s Reimbursement Obligation in respect thereof is reduced for any reason other than by virtue of a payment made in respect of a drawing thereunder, then an amount equal to such undrawn amount or such reduction, as the case may be, shall be paid in cash to the Sub-Originator on the next Payment Date. Under no circumstances shall the Sub-Originator (or any Affiliate thereof (other than the SPV)) have any reimbursement or recourse obligations in respect of any Letter of Credit.

(b) In the event that the Sub-Originator requests that any purchases be paid for by the issuance of a Letter of Credit hereunder, the Sub-Originator shall on a timely basis provide the Buyer with such information as is necessary for the SPV to obtain such Letter of Credit from the LC Bank, and shall notify the Buyer, the Servicer and the Administrative Agent of the allocations described in clause (a) above. Such allocations shall be binding on the Buyer and the Sub-Originator, absent manifest error.

(c) The Sub-Originator acknowledges that each Letter of Credit shall be subject either to the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits (2007 Revision), International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 600, and any amendments or revisions thereof adhered to by the LC Bank or the International Standby Practices (ISP98-International Chamber of Commerce Publication Number 590), and any amendments or revisions thereof adhered to by the LC Bank as of the date of issuance, as determined by the LC Bank, in each case subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Receivables Financing Agreement.

(a) If, on the day of purchase of any Receivable from the Sub-Originator hereunder, any of the representations or warranties set forth in Sections 5.5, 5.12, 5.20, 5.22, 5.23, 5.26 or 5.27 are not true with respect to such Receivable, then the Purchase Price for such Receivable shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Outstanding Balance of such Receivable and shall be accounted to the Sub-Originator as provided in clause (c) below; provided, that if the Buyer thereafter receives payment on account of the Outstanding Balance of such Receivable, the Buyer promptly shall deliver such funds to the Sub-Originator.

(b) If, on any day, the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable purchased hereunder is either (i) reduced or canceled as a result of (A) any defective, rejected or returned goods or services, any cash or other discount, or any failure by the Sub-Originator to deliver any goods or perform any services or otherwise perform under the underlying Contract or invoice, (B) any change in or cancellation of any of the terms of such Contract or invoice or any other adjustment by the Sub-Originator, the Servicer or the Buyer which reduces the amount payable by the Obligor on the related Receivable, (C) any rebates, warranties, allowances or charge-backs or (D) any setoff or credit in respect of any claim by the Obligor thereof (whether such claim arises out of the same or a related transaction or an unrelated transaction), or (ii) subject to any specific dispute, offset, counterclaim or defense whatsoever (except the discharge in bankruptcy of the Obligor thereof), then the Purchase Price with respect to such Receivable shall be reduced by the amount of such net reduction or dispute and shall be accounted to the Sub-Originator as provided in clause (c) below; provided, that notwithstanding the foregoing, no such reduction shall be made to the extent the same represents losses in respect of Receivables that are uncollectible on account of insolvency, bankruptcy, lack of creditworthiness or other financial or credit condition or financial default of the related Obligor.

(c) Any reduction in the Purchase Price of any Receivable pursuant to clause (a) or (b) above shall be applied as a credit for the account of the Buyer against the Purchase Price of Receivables subsequently purchased by the Buyer from the Sub-Originator hereunder; provided, however if there have been no purchases of Receivables from the Sub-Originator (or insufficiently large purchases of Receivables prior to the Settlement Date immediately following any such reduction in the Purchase Price of any Receivable) to create a Purchase Price sufficient to so apply such credit against, the amount of such credit, shall be paid in cash to the Buyer by the Sub-Originator; provided, that at any time (x) when an Event of Default exists under the Receivables Financing Agreement or (y) on or after the Purchase and Sale Termination Date, the amount of any such credit shall be paid by the Sub-Originator to the Buyer in cash by deposit of immediately available funds into a Collection Account for application by the Servicer to the same extent as if Collections of the applicable Receivable in such amount had actually been received on such date.

SECTION 4.1 Conditions Precedent to Initial Purchase. The initial purchase hereunder is subject to the condition precedent that the Buyer, the Administrative Agent (as the Buyer’s ultimate assignee) and each Lender shall have received, on or before the Closing Date, the following, each (unless otherwise indicated) dated the Closing Date, and each in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Buyer and the Administrative Agent (as the Buyer’s ultimate assignee):

(n) the Sub-Originator shall not enter into, or be a party to, any transaction with the SPV, except in the ordinary course of its business and on terms which are intrinsically fair and not less favorable to it than would be obtained in a comparable arm’s-length transaction with an unrelated third party;

(o) the Sub-Originator shall not pay the salaries of the SPV’s employees, if any; and

(p) the Sub-Originator will not account for or treat (whether in financial statements or otherwise) the transactions contemplated hereby in any manner other than the sale and absolute assignment of the Receivables and the Related Security by it to the Buyer or in any other respect account for or treat the transactions contemplated hereby in any manner other than as a sale and absolute assignment of the Receivables and the Related Security by it to the Buyer (except to the extent that such transactions are not recognized on account of consolidated financial reporting in accordance with GAAP).

SECTION 7.1 Rights of the Buyer. The Sub-Originator hereby authorizes the Buyer, the SPV, the Servicer or their respective designees or assignees under this Agreement, the Purchase and Sale Agreement or the Receivables Financing Agreement (including, without limitation, the Administrative Agent) to take any and all steps in the Sub-Originator’s name necessary or desirable, in their respective determination, to collect all amounts due under any and all Receivables sold or otherwise conveyed or purported to be conveyed by it hereunder, including, without limitation, endorsing the name of the Sub-Originator on checks and other instruments representing Collections and enforcing such Receivables and the provisions of the related Contracts that concern payment and/or enforcement of rights to payment; provided, however, the Administrative Agent shall not take any of the foregoing actions unless a Purchase and Sale Termination Event or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

SECTION 7.2 Responsibilities of the Sub-Originator. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding:

(a) The Sub-Originator shall perform its obligations hereunder, and the exercise by the Buyer or its designee of its rights hereunder shall not relieve the Sub-Originator from such obligations.

(b) None of the Buyer, the SPV, the Servicer, the Lenders or the Administrative Agent shall have any obligation or liability to any Obligor or any other third Person with respect to any Receivables, Contracts related thereto or any other related agreements, nor shall the Buyer, the SPV, the Servicer, the Lenders or the Administrative Agent be obligated to perform any of the obligations of the Sub-Originator thereunder.

(c) The Sub-Originator hereby grants to the Buyer and the Administrative Agent an irrevocable power-of-attorney, with full power of substitution, coupled with an interest, during the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default to take in the name of the Sub-Originator all steps necessary or advisable to endorse, negotiate or otherwise realize on any writing or other right of any kind held or transmitted by the Sub-Originator or transmitted or received by the Buyer or the Administrative Agent (whether or not from the Sub-Originator) in connection with any Receivable sold or otherwise conveyed or purported to be conveyed by it hereunder or Related Right.

SECTION 7.3 Further Action Evidencing Purchases. On or prior to the Closing Date, the Sub-Originator shall mark its master data processing records evidencing Pool Receivables and Contracts with the following legend (or the substantive equivalent thereof): “THE RECEIVABLES DESCRIBED HEREIN HAVE BEEN SOLD PURSUANT TO A SUB-ORIGINATOR SALE AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF NOVEMBER 30, 2017, AS AMENDED, BETWEEN SUB-ORIGINATOR AND CONSOL, AS SERVICER AND AS BUYER; FURTHER SOLD PURSUANT TO A PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF NOVEMBER 30, 2017, AS AMENDED, BETWEEN EACH ORIGINATOR PARTY THERETO, CONSOL, AS SERVICER AND CONSOL FUNDING LLC, AS BUYER; AND THE RECEIVABLES DESCRIBED HEREIN HAVE BEEN PLEDGED TO PNC BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, AS ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, PURSUANT TO A RECEIVABLES FINANCING AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF NOVEMBER 30, 2017, AS AMENDED, AMONG CONSOL FUNDING LLC AS BORROWER, CONSOL, AS SERVICER, THE VARIOUS LENDERS FROM TIME TO TIME PARTY THERETO AND PNC BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, AS ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT”.

The Sub-Originator hereby authorizes the Buyer or its designee or assignee (including, without limitation, the Administrative Agent) to file one or more financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto and assignments thereof, relative to all or any of the Receivables and Related Rights sold or otherwise conveyed or purported to be conveyed by it hereunder and now existing or hereafter generated or acquired by the Sub-Originator. If the Sub-Originator fails to perform any of its agreements or obligations under this Agreement, the Buyer or its designee or assignee (including, without limitation, the Administrative Agent) may (but shall not be required to) itself perform, or cause the performance of, such agreement or obligation, and the expenses of the Buyer or its designee or assignee (including, without limitation, the Administrative Agent) incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the Sub-Originator.

SECTION 7.4 Application of Collections. Any payment by an Obligor in respect of any indebtedness owed by it to the Sub-Originator shall, except as otherwise specified by such Obligor or required by Applicable Law and unless otherwise instructed by the Servicer (with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent) or the Administrative Agent, be applied as a Collection of any Receivable or Receivables of such Obligor in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy.

SECTION 7.5 Performance of Obligations. The Sub-Originator shall (i) perform all of its obligations under the Contracts related to the Receivables generated by the Sub-Originator to the same extent as if interests in such Receivables had not been transferred hereunder, and the exercise by the Buyer or the Administrative Agent of its rights hereunder shall not relieve the Sub-Originator from any such obligations, and (ii) pay when due any taxes, including, without limitation, any sales taxes payable in connection with the Receivables generated by the Sub-Originator and their creation and satisfaction.

SECTION 8.1 Purchase and Sale Termination Events. Each of the following events or occurrences described in this Section 8.1 shall constitute a “Purchase and Sale Termination Event” (each event which with notice or the passage of time or both would become a Purchase and Sale Termination Event being referred to herein as an “Unmatured Purchase and Sale Termination Event”):

(b) the Sub-Originator shall fail to make when due any payment or deposit to be made by it under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party and such failure shall remain unremedied for three (3) Business Days;

(c) any representation or warranty made or deemed to be made by the Sub-Originator (or any of its officers) under or in connection with this Agreement, any other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, or any other information or report delivered pursuant hereto or thereto shall prove to have been incorrect or untrue in any material respect when made or deemed made or delivered and the same shall continue unremedied for ten (10) Business Days after the earlier of (i) a responsible officer of the Sub-Originator has knowledge of the same and (i) the date on which written notice of the same shall have been given to the Sub-Originator; provided, that no breach of a representation or warranty set forth in Sections 5.5, 5.12, 5.20, 5.22, 5.23, 5.26 or 5.27 shall constitute a Purchase and Sale Termination Event pursuant to this clause (c) if credit has been given for a reduction of the Purchase Price or the Sub-Originator has made a cash payment to the Buyer, in any case, as required pursuant to Section 3.4(c) with respect to such breach;

(d) the Sub-Originator shall fail to perform or observe any other term, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party on its part to be performed or observed and such failure shall continue unremedied for ten (10) Business Days after the earlier of (i) a responsible officer of the Sub-Originator has knowledge of such failure and (i) the date on which written notice of such failure shall have been given to the Sub-Originator; or

(e) any Insolvency Proceeding shall be instituted against the Sub-Originator and such proceeding shall remain undismissed or unstayed for a period of sixty (60) consecutive days or any of the actions sought in such proceeding (including the entry of an order for relief against, or the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official for, it or for any substantial part of its property) shall occur.

(a) Optional Termination. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Purchase and Sale Termination Event, the Buyer (and not the Servicer), with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent shall have the option, by notice to the Sub-Originator (with a copy to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders), to declare the Purchase Facility terminated.

(b) Remedies Cumulative. Upon any termination of the Purchase Facility pursuant to Section 8.2(a), the Buyer (and the Administrative Agent as Buyer’s ultimate assignee) shall have, in addition to all other rights and remedies under this Agreement, all other rights and remedies provided under the UCC of each applicable jurisdiction and other Applicable Laws, which rights shall be cumulative.

SECTION 9.1 Indemnities by the Sub-Originator. Without limiting any other rights that the Buyer may have hereunder or under Applicable Law, the Sub-Originator hereby agrees to indemnify the Buyer, the SPV, each of its officers, directors, employees, agents, employees and respective assigns, the Administrative Agent and each Lender (each of the foregoing Persons being individually called a “Purchase and Sale Indemnified Party”), forthwith on demand, from and against any and all damages, claims, losses, judgments, liabilities, penalties and related costs and expenses (including Attorney Costs) (all of the foregoing being collectively called “Purchase and Sale Indemnified Amounts”) awarded against or incurred by any of them to the extent relating to an event identified below:

(a) any representation or warranty made or deemed made by the Sub-Originator (or any officer of the Sub-Originator) under or in connection with this Agreement, any other Transaction Document to which the Sub-Originator is a party or any other information or report delivered by any the Sub-Originator pursuant hereto or thereto, which shall have been false or incorrect when made or deemed made;

(b) the failure by the Sub-Originator to comply with any Applicable Law with respect to any Receivable or Contract related thereto, or the nonconformity of any Receivable or Contract included therein with any such Applicable Law;

(c) the failure of the Sub-Originator to timely and fully comply with the Credit and Collection Policy in regard to any Receivable or to perform any of its obligations, express or implied, with respect to any Contract;

(f) the failure to have filed, or any delay in filing, financing statements (including, as extracted collateral filings), financing statement amendments, continuation statements or other similar instruments or documents under the UCC of any applicable jurisdiction or other Applicable Laws with respect to any Pool Receivable or the Related Rights;

(i) the commingling of Collections of Pool Receivables at any time with other funds;

(j) the failure or delay to provide any Obligor with an invoice or other evidence of indebtedness;

(l) any claim brought by any Person other than a Purchase and Sale Indemnified Party arising from any activity by the Sub-Originator or any Affiliate of the Sub-Originator in servicing, administering or collecting any Pool Receivable;

(m) the failure by the Sub-Originator to pay when due any taxes, including, without limitation, sales, excise or personal property taxes;

(n) any dispute, claim, offset or defense (other than discharge in bankruptcy of the Obligor) of the Obligor to the payment of any Pool Receivable (including, without limitation, a defense based on such Pool Receivable or the related Contract not being a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Obligor enforceable against it in accordance with its terms), or any other claim resulting from or relating to collection activities with respect to such Pool Receivable, the sale of goods or the rendering of services related to such Pool Receivable or the furnishing or failure to furnish any such goods or services or other similar claim or defense not arising from the financial inability of any Obligor to pay undisputed indebtedness;

(o) any product liability claim arising out of or in connection with goods or services that are the subject of any Receivable generated by the Sub-Originator;

(p) the failure by the Sub-Originator to pay when due any sales, excise or personal property taxes or charges (including interest and penalties thereon or with respect thereto), imposed on the purchase of the Pool Receivables or any Related Rights generated by the Sub-Originator;

(s) any action taken by the Administrative Agent as attorney-in-fact for the Sub-Originator pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document;

provided that such indemnity shall not be available to any Purchase and Sale Indemnified Party to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of a Purchase and Sale Indemnified Party, (y) constitute recourse with respect to a Pool Receivable by reason of the bankruptcy, insolvency, lack of creditworthiness or other financial or credit condition or financial default, of the related Obligor or (z) Taxes (other than Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc., arising from any non-Tax claim).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, solely for purposes of the Sub-Originator’s indemnification obligations in this Article IX, any representation, warranty or covenant qualified by the occurrence or non-occurrence of a material adverse effect or similar concepts of materiality shall be deemed to be not so qualified.

(b) No failure or delay on the part of the Buyer, the Servicer, the Sub-Originator, the Administrative Agent or any third-party beneficiary in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power or right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right. No notice to or demand on the Buyer, the Servicer or the Sub-Originator in any case shall entitle it to any notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. No waiver or approval by the Buyer, the Administrative Agent or the Servicer under this Agreement shall, except as may otherwise be stated in such waiver or approval, be applicable to subsequent transactions.
