All purchases and contributions hereunder shall be made without recourse, but shall be made pursuant to, and in reliance upon, the representations, warranties and covenants of such 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, including with respect to any Contributed Receivable, 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, each Originator hereby sells to the Buyer, and the Buyer hereby purchases, such Originator’s entire right, title and interest in, to and under (i) each Receivable (other than Contributed Receivables) that existed and was owing to such Originator at the Cut-Off Date, (ii) each Receivable (other than Contributed Receivables) generated by such 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 RSCA Termination Date, each Receivable and the Related Rights generated by such Originator shall be, and shall be deemed to have been, sold or contributed, as applicable, by such Originator to the Buyer immediately (and without further action) upon the creation of such Receivable.

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 Originators and to reflect all capital contributions in accordance with Article III.

SECTION 1.4 RSCA Termination Date. The “RSCA Termination Date” shall be the earliest to occur of (a) the date the Purchase Facility is terminated pursuant to Section 8.2(a), (b) the Termination Date, and (c) the Commitment under the Receivables Purchase Agreement being reduced to zero dollars.

SECTION 1.5 Intention of the Parties. It is the express intent of each Originator and the Buyer that each conveyance by such 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 construed as a valid and perfected sale (or contribution) and absolute assignment (without recourse except as provided herein) of such Receivables and Related Rights by such Originator to the Buyer (rather than the grant of a security interest to secure a debt or other obligation of such Originator) 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, unsecured creditors, lien creditors, secured lenders, purchasers and any Person claiming through such 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) each Originator shall be deemed to have granted to the Buyer as of the date of this Agreement, and such Originator hereby grants to the Buyer a security interest in, to and under all of such Originator’s right, title and interest in and to: (A) the Receivables and the Related Rights now existing and hereafter created by the Originator transferred or purported to be transferred hereunder, (B) all monies due or to become due and all amounts received with respect thereto and (C) all books and records of such Originator to the extent related to any of the foregoing.

SECTION 2.1 Purchase Data. In order to enable the Master Servicer to timely prepare the Monthly Reports when and as required under the Receivables Purchase Agreement, each Originator shall ensure that its records that are made accessible to Finacity Corporation, as the Master Servicer’s designee, include the information required on Exhibit A (the “Purchase Data”) with respect to:

(a) Receivables purchased by the Buyer from such Originator, and, solely in the case of the Contributing Originator, contributed to the capital of the Buyer by such Originator, on the Closing Date (in the case of the Purchase Data to be delivered on the Closing Date); and

(b) Receivables purchased by the Buyer from such Originator, and, solely in the case of the Contributing Originator, contributed to the capital of the Buyer by such Originator, during the month (or portion thereof) then most recently ended (in the case of each subsequent delivery of Purchase Data).

SECTION 2.2 Calculation of Purchase Price. The “Purchase Price” to be paid to each Originator on any Payment Date in accordance with the terms of Article III for the Receivables and the Related Rights that are purchased hereunder from such Originator shall be determined in accordance with the following formula:

“Payment Date” means (i) the Closing Date and (ii) each Business Day thereafter that the Originators are open for business.

“Prime Rate” means a per annum rate equal to the greater of 0% and the “U.S. Prime Rate” as published in the “Money Rates” section of The Wall Street Journal or if such information ceases to be published in The Wall Street Journal, such other publication as determined by Regions Bank in its sole discretion.

SECTION 3.1 Initial Contribution of Receivables and Initial Purchase Price Payment.

(a) On the Closing Date, the Contributing Originator shall, and hereby does, contribute to the capital of the Buyer Receivables and Related Rights consisting of each Receivable of the Contributing Originator that exists and is owing to the Contributing Originator on the Closing Date beginning with the oldest of such Receivables and continuing chronologically thereafter such that the equity (taking into account any cash contributions made on or prior to the Closing Date) held by the Contributing Originator in the Buyer, after giving effect to such contribution of Receivables (the aggregate value of which shall be determined based on the Purchase Price definition), shall be at least equal to the Required Capital Amount. Each Receivable contributed by the Contributing Originator to the capital of the Buyer pursuant to this Section 3.1(a) and Section 3.2 below is herein referred to as a “Contributed Receivable”.

(b) On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Buyer agrees to pay to each Originator the Purchase Price for the purchase to be made from such Originator on the Closing Date (i) to the extent the Buyer has cash available therefor, partially in cash (in an amount to be agreed between the Buyer and such Originator) and, solely in the case of the Contributing Originator, if elected by the Contributing Originator in its sole discretion, by accepting a contribution to the Buyer’s capital and (ii) the remainder by issuing a promissory note in the form of Exhibit B to such Originator (each such promissory note, as it may be amended, supplemented, endorsed or otherwise modified from time to time, together with all promissory notes issued from time to time in substitution therefor or renewal thereof in accordance with the Transaction Documents, each being herein called a “Subordinated Note”) with an initial principal amount equal to the remaining Purchase Price payable to such Originator not paid in cash or, in the case of the Contributing Originator, contributed to the Buyer’s capital.

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 each Originator for the Receivables and the Related Rights generated by such Originator on such Payment Date:

(a) First, in cash to each Originator to the extent the Buyer has cash available therefor (and such payment is not prohibited under the Receivables Purchase Agreement);

(b) Second, solely in the case of the Contributing Originator, if elected by the Contributing Originator in its sole discretion, to the extent any portion of the Purchase Price remains unpaid, by accepting a contribution of such Receivable and the Related Rights to its capital in an amount equal to such remaining unpaid portion of such Purchase Price; and

(c) Third, to the extent any portion of the Purchase Price remains unpaid, the principal amount outstanding under the applicable Subordinated Note shall be automatically increased by an amount equal to the lesser of (x) such remaining unpaid portion of such Purchase Price and (y) the maximum increase in the principal balance of the applicable Subordinated Note that could be made without rendering the Buyer’s Net Worth less than the Required Capital Amount;

provided, however, that (i) if all Originators are selling Receivables to the Buyer on the date of such purchase, the Buyer shall make cash payments between the Originators in such a way as to minimize (to the greatest extent practicable) the aggregate principal amounts outstanding under the Subordinated Notes, and (ii) the foregoing shall not be construed to require the Contributing Originator to make any capital contribution to the Buyer.

“Net Worth” means “Seller’s Net Worth” (as defined in the Receivables Purchase Agreement).

All amounts paid by the Buyer to any Originator shall be allocated first to the payment of any Purchase Price then due and unpaid, second to the payment of accrued and unpaid interest on the Subordinated Note of such Originator and third to the repayment of the principal outstanding on the Subordinated Note of such Originator to the extent of such outstanding principal thereof as of the date of such payment before such amounts may be allocated for any other purpose. The Originator shall make all appropriate record keeping entries with respect to the Subordinated Note to reflect the foregoing payments, and payments and reductions made pursuant to Section 3.3, and the Originator’s books and records shall constitute rebuttable presumptive evidence of the principal amount of, and accrued interest on, the Subordinated Notes at any time. Each Originator hereby irrevocably agrees to mark its Subordinated Note “CANCELED” and to return such Subordinated Notes to the Buyer upon the final payment thereof after the occurrence of the RSCA Termination Date.

If, on any Business Day, the Buyer is unable to pay the Purchase Price for Receivables and Related Rights pursuant to this Section 3.2, then the Originators shall on such Business Day provide written notice thereof to Regions Bank.

(a) If, (i) on the day of purchase of any Receivable from an Originator hereunder, any of the representations or warranties set forth in Sections 5.5 [Valid Sale], 5.12 [Eligible Receivables] , 5.20 [No Fraudulent Conveyance], 5.22 [Perfection Representations], 5.23 [Additional Perfection Representations], 5.26 [Enforceability of Contracts] or 5.27 [Nature of Pool Receivables] are not true with respect to such Receivable or (ii) as a result of any action or inaction (other than solely as a result of the failure to collect such Receivable due to a discharge in bankruptcy or similar insolvency proceeding or other credit related reasons with respect to the relevant Obligor) of such Originator, on any subsequent day, any of such representations or warranties set forth in Sections 5.5, 5.12, 5.20, 5.22, 5.23, 5.26 or 5.27 is no longer 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 such 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 Originator.

(b) If, on any day, the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable purchased or contributed hereunder is reduced or adjusted as a result of any defective, rejected, returned, repossessed or foreclosed goods or services, or any revision, cancellation, allowance, rebate, credit memo, discount or other adjustment made by the applicable Originator or any Affiliate of the Originator (other than the Buyer), or any setoff, counterclaim or dispute between an Originator or any Affiliate of an Originator, or and an Obligor, then the Purchase Price with respect to such Receivable shall be reduced by the amount of such net reduction and shall be accounted to such Originator as provided in clause (c) below.

(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 such Originator hereunder; provided, however, if there have been no purchases of Receivables from such 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:

(i) to the extent of any outstanding principal balance under the Subordinated Note payable to such Originator, shall be deemed to be a payment under, and shall be deducted from the principal amount outstanding under, the Subordinated Note payable to such Originator; and

(ii) after making any deduction pursuant to clause (i) above, shall be paid in cash to the Buyer by such Originator on such Settlement Date subject to the following proviso;

provided, further, that at any time (x) when an Event of Termination or an Unmatured Event of Termination, exists under the Receivables Purchase Agreement or (y) on or after the RSCA Termination Date, the amount of any such credit shall be paid by such Originator to the Buyer in cash by deposit of immediately available funds into a Collection Account for application to the same extent as if Collections of the applicable Receivable in such amount had actually been received on such date.

The initial purchase hereunder is subject to the condition precedent that the Buyer and Regions Bank (as the Buyer’s assignee) 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 satisfactory to the Buyer and Regions Bank (as the Buyer’s assignee):

(n) such Originator shall not enter into, or be a party to, any transaction with the Buyer, 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.

(c) Each Originator hereby grants to Regions Bank (as the Buyer’s assignee) an irrevocable power-of-attorney, with full power of substitution, coupled with an interest, during the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Termination to take in the name of such 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 such Originator or transmitted or received by the Buyer (whether or not from such Originator) in connection with any Receivable sold, contributed or otherwise conveyed or purported to be conveyed by it hereunder or Related Right.

SECTION 7.3 Further Action Evidencing Purchases.

SECTION 7.5 Performance of Obligations. Each Originator shall (i) perform all of its obligations under the Contracts related to the Receivables generated by such Originator to the same extent as if interests in such Receivables had not been transferred hereunder, and the exercise by the Buyer or Regions Bank of its rights hereunder shall not relieve any 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 such Originator and their creation and satisfaction.

To the extent that the Buyer (or following the occurrence of any Event of Termination, Regions Bank) instructs an Originator to remit any such amounts on deposit in any such Collection Account, such Originator shall promptly remit such amounts directly to Regions Bank in partial satisfaction of the Seller Obligations and to be applied in accordance with the priority of payments set forth in Section 4.01 of the Receivables Purchase Agreement.

(d) an 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 thirty (30) days after such Originator has knowledge or receives written notice thereof; or

(e) any Insolvency Proceeding shall be instituted against an 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.

Upon any termination of the Purchase Facility pursuant to Section 8.2(a), the Buyer (and Regions Bank as Buyer’s 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.

(a) No payment or other distribution of the Buyer’s assets of any kind or character, whether in cash, securities, or other rights or property, shall be made on account of this Subordinated Note except to the extent such payment or other distribution is (i) permitted under the Receivables Purchase Agreement or (ii) made pursuant to paragraph 4 or clause (a) or (b) of paragraph 6 of this Subordinated Note;

(b) In the event of any dissolution, winding up, liquidation, readjustment, reorganization or other similar event relating to the Buyer, whether voluntary or involuntary, partial or complete, and whether in bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership proceedings, or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or any other marshalling of the assets and liabilities of the Buyer or any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Buyer other than as permitted by the Receivables Sale and Contribution Agreement (such proceedings being herein collectively called “Bankruptcy Proceedings”), the Senior Interests shall first be paid and performed in full and in cash before the Originator shall be entitled to receive and to retain any payment or distribution in respect of this Subordinated Note.

All payments and distributions received by Regions Bank in respect of this Subordinated Note, to the extent received in or converted into cash, may be applied by Regions Bank (for the benefit of the Senior Interest Holders) first to the payment of any and all expenses (including reasonable Attorney Costs) paid or incurred by the Senior Interest Holders in enforcing these Subordination Provisions, or in endeavoring to collect or realize upon this Subordinated Note, and any balance thereof shall, solely as between the Originator and the Senior Interest Holders, be applied by Regions Bank (in the order of application set forth in Article IV of the Receivables Purchase Agreement) toward the payment of the Senior Interests; but as between the Buyer and its creditors, no such payments or distributions of any kind or character shall be deemed to be payments or distributions in respect of the Senior Interests;

(g) The Holder shall not, without the advance written consent of Regions Bank, commence, or join with any other Person in commencing, any Bankruptcy Proceedings with respect to the Buyer until at least one year and one day shall have passed since the Senior Interests shall have been paid and performed in full and in cash;

(h) If, at any time, any payment (in whole or in part) of any Senior Interest is rescinded or must be restored or returned by a Senior Interest Holder (whether in connection with Bankruptcy Proceedings or otherwise), these Subordination Provisions shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, as though such payment had not been made;

(i) Each of the Senior Interest Holders may, from time to time, at its sole discretion, without notice to the Holder, and without waiving any of its rights under these Subordination Provisions, take any or all of the following actions: (i) retain or obtain an interest in any property to secure any of the Senior Interests; (ii) retain or obtain the primary or secondary obligations of any other obligor or obligors with respect to any of the Senior Interests; (iii) extend or renew for one or more periods (whether or not longer than the original period), alter or exchange any of the Senior Interests, or release or compromise any obligation of any nature with respect to any of the Senior Interests; (iv) amend, supplement, amend and restate, or otherwise modify any Transaction Document; and (v) release its security interest in, or surrender, release or permit any substitution or exchange for all or any part of any rights or property securing any of the Senior Interests, or extend or renew for one or more periods (whether or not longer than the original period), or release, compromise, alter or exchange any obligations of any nature of any obligor with respect to any such rights or property;

(j) The Holder hereby waives: (i) notice of acceptance of these Subordination Provisions by any of the Senior Interest Holders; (ii) notice of the existence, creation, non-payment or non-performance of all or any of the Senior Interests; and (iii) all diligence in enforcement, collection or protection of, or realization upon, the Senior Interests, or any thereof, or any security therefor;

(k) Each of the Senior Interest Holders may, from time to time, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Transaction Documents to which such Persons are party, but without notice to the Holder, assign or transfer any or all of the Senior Interests, or any interest therein; and, notwithstanding any such assignment or transfer or any subsequent assignment or transfer thereof, such Senior Interests shall be and remain Senior Interests for the purposes of these Subordination Provisions, and every immediate and successive assignee or transferee of any of the Senior Interests or of any interest of such assignee or transferee in the Senior Interests shall be entitled to the benefits of these Subordination Provisions to the same extent as if such assignee or transferee were the assignor or transferor; and

(l) These Subordination Provisions constitute a continuing offer from the Holder to all Persons who become the holders of, or who continue to hold, Senior Interests; and these Subordination Provisions are made for the benefit of the Senior Interest Holders, and Regions Bank may proceed to enforce such provisions on behalf of each of such Persons.

10. General. No failure or delay on the part of the Originator 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 amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent with respect to, any provision of this Subordinated Note shall in any event be effective unless (i) the same shall be in writing and signed and delivered by the Buyer and the Holder and (ii) all consents required for such actions under the Transaction Documents shall have been received by the appropriate Persons.

11. Maximum Interest. Notwithstanding anything in this Subordinated Note to the contrary, the Buyer shall never be required to pay unearned interest on any amount outstanding hereunder and shall never be required to pay interest on the principal amount outstanding hereunder at a rate in excess of the maximum nonusurious interest rate that may be contracted for, charged or received under applicable federal or state law (such maximum rate being herein called the “Highest Lawful Rate”). If the effective rate of interest which would otherwise be payable under this Subordinated Note would exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, or if the holder of this Subordinated Note shall receive any unearned interest or shall receive monies that are deemed to constitute interest which would increase the effective rate of interest payable by the Buyer under this Subordinated Note to a rate in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then (i) the amount of interest which would otherwise be payable by the Buyer under this Subordinated Note shall be reduced to the amount allowed by applicable Law, and (ii) any unearned interest paid by the Buyer or any interest paid by the Buyer in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate shall be refunded to the Buyer. Without limitation of the foregoing, all calculations of the rate of interest contracted for, charged or received by the Originator under this Subordinated Note that are made for the purpose of determining whether such rate exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to the Originator (such Highest Lawful Rate being herein called the “Originator’s Maximum Permissible Rate”) shall be made, to the extent permitted by usury laws applicable to the Originator (now or hereafter enacted), by amortizing, prorating and spreading in equal parts during the actual period during which any amount has been outstanding hereunder all interest at any time contracted for, charged or received by the Originator in connection herewith. If at any time and from time to time (i) the amount of interest payable to the Originator on any date shall be computed at the Originator’s Maximum Permissible Rate pursuant to the provisions of the foregoing sentence and (ii) in respect of any subsequent interest computation period the amount of interest otherwise payable to the Originator would be less than the amount of interest payable to the Originator computed at the Originator’s Maximum Permissible Rate, then the amount of interest payable to the Originator in respect of such subsequent interest computation period shall continue to be computed at the Originator’s Maximum Permissible Rate until the total amount of interest payable to the Originator shall equal the total amount of interest which would have been payable to the Originator if the total amount of interest had been computed without giving effect to the provisions of the foregoing sentence.

13. Governing Law. THIS SUBORDINATED NOTE, INCLUDING THE RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF THE PARTIES HERETO, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (INCLUDING SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, BUT WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY OTHER CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS THEREOF).

14. Captions. Paragraph captions used in this Subordinated Note are for convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of any provision of this Subordinated Note.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Buyer has caused this Subordinated Note to be executed as of the date first written above.
