(i)first, as a deemed repayment of any Subordinated Loans then owed to the applicable Originator until such Subordinated Loans have been repaid in full; and

(ii)second, as a credit against future Purchase Price payments otherwise due (or to become due) to the applicable Originator hereunder.

SECTION V.19 No Fraudulent Conveyance. With respect to each Receivable transferred to Buyer by such Originator hereunder, the applicable Purchase Price received by such Originator constitutes reasonably equivalent value in consideration therefor and such transfer was not made for or on account of an antecedent debt.

Each of the Originator and the Buyer represents and warrants as to itself that any remittance of Collections by or on behalf of the Originator to the Buyer under this Agreement will have been (i) in payment of a debt incurred by the Originator in the ordinary course of business or financial affairs of the Originator and the Buyer and (ii) made in the ordinary course of business or financial affairs of the Originator and the Buyer.

SECTION V.21 Good Title; Perfection.

(a)Immediately preceding its sale or contribution of each Receivable hereunder, the Originator was the owner of such Receivable and Related Rights sold or contributed or purported to be sold or contributed, as the case may be, free and clear of any Adverse Claims, and each such sale or contribution hereunder constitutes a valid sale or contribution, transfer and assignment of all of the Originator’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Receivables and Related Rights sold or contributed by it, free and clear of any Adverse Claims.

(b)On or before the date hereof and before the sale, contribution or other conveyance of any new Receivable to be sold, contributed or otherwise conveyed hereunder, all financing statements and other documents, if any, required to be recorded or filed in order to perfect and protect the Buyer’s ownership or security interest in Receivables and Related Rights to be sold or otherwise conveyed hereunder against all creditors of and purchasers from the Originator have been duly filed in each filing office necessary for such purpose, and all filing fees and transfer and other similar taxes, if any, payable in connection with such filings shall have been paid in full.

(c)Upon the sale, contribution or other conveyance of each new Receivable sold, contributed or otherwise conveyed or purported to be conveyed hereunder and on

127299818\V-5

the Closing Date for then existing Receivables, the Buyer shall have a valid and perfected first priority ownership or security interest in each Receivable sold to it hereunder, free and clear of any Adverse Claim.

SECTION V.22 Perfection Representations.

(a)This Agreement creates a valid and continuing ownership or security interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in the Originator’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Receivables and Related Rights which (i) security interest has been or will be on the date hereof perfected and is enforceable against creditors of and purchasers from the Originator and (ii) is free of all Adverse Claims.

(b)The Receivables constitute “accounts” or “general intangibles” within the meaning of Section 9-102 of the UCC.

(c)Prior to their sale or contribution to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, the Originator owned and had good and marketable title to the Receivables and Related Rights free and clear of any Adverse Claim of any Person.

(d)All appropriate financing statements, financing statement amendments and continuation statements have been filed, or will be filed, in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable Law in order to perfect (and continue the perfection of) the sale and contribution of the Receivables and Related Rights from the Originator to the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement.

(e)Other than the ownership or security interest granted to the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, the Originator has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the Receivables or Related Rights except as permitted by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. The Originator has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing statements filed against the Originator that include a description of collateral covering the Receivables and Related Rights other than any financing statement (i) in favor of the Administrative Agent or (ii) that has been terminated or amended to reflect the release of any security interest in the Receivables and Related Rights. The Originator is not aware of any judgment lien, ERISA lien or tax lien filings against the Originator.

SECTION V.24 Enforceability of Contracts. Each Contract related to any Receivable sold or contributed by the Originator hereunder, as of the date of such sale or contribution, is effective to create, and has created, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the related Obligor to pay the outstanding balance of such Receivable, enforceable against the Obligor in accordance with its terms, and the Originator has fully performed its obligations under

127299818\V-5

such Contract in all material respects except as may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity regardless of whether enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

SECTION V.25 Nature of Pool Receivables. All Pool Receivables sold or contributed by such Originator represent all, or a portion of the purchase price of merchandise, insurance or services within the meaning of Section 3(c)(5)(A) of the Investment Company Act. The purchase of Pool Receivables sold or contributed by such Originator with the proceeds of Investments made under the Receivables Purchase Agreement would constitute a “current transaction” for purposes of Section 3(a)(3) of the Securities Act.

SECTION V.26 Compliance with Law. The Originator is in compliance with the requirements of all applicable Laws, rules and regulations applicable to its property or business operations, except in such instance where any failure to comply therewith, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION V.27 Servicing Programs. No license or approval is required for Servicer’s use of any software or other computer program used by the Originator in the servicing of the Receivables, other than those that have been obtained and are in full force and effect.

SECTION V.28 Compliance with Transaction Documents. The Originator has complied with all of the terms, covenants and agreements contained in the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party.

(j)Fundamental Changes. The Originator shall not make any change in the Originator’s name, location or make any other change in the Originator’s identity or corporate structure that could impair or otherwise render any UCC financing statement filed in connection with this Agreement or the Receivables Purchase Agreement “seriously misleading” as such term (or similar term) is used in the applicable UCC, in each case, unless the Buyer and the Administrative Agent have each (i) received written notice thereof within thirty (30) days of such change, (ii) received executed copies of all documents, certificates and opinions (including, opinions relating to bankruptcy and UCC matters) as the Buyer or the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request and (iii) been reasonably satisfied that all other action to perfect and protect the interests of the Buyer and the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Purchasers, in and to the Receivables to be sold or contributed by it hereunder and other Related Rights, as reasonably requested by

(m)Ownership Interest, Etc. The Originator shall (and shall cause the Servicer to), at its expense, take all action necessary or reasonably requested by the Buyer or the Administrative Agent to establish and maintain a valid and enforceable ownership or security interest in the Pool Receivables, the Related Rights and Collections with respect thereto, and a perfected security interest in the Supporting Assets, in each case free and clear of any Adverse Claim, in favor of the Buyer (and the Administrative Agent, as the Buyer’s assignee), including taking such action to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the interest of the Buyer (and the Administrative Agent, as the Buyer’s assignee) as the Buyer or the Administrative Agent may reasonably request.

pursuant to this Agreement or as otherwise permitted by the Receivables Purchase Agreement and the other Transaction Documents).

(p)Frequency of Billing. The Originator shall prepare and deliver (or cause to be prepared and delivered) invoices with respect to all Receivables in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policies, but in any event no less frequently than as required under the Contract related to such Receivable.

(q)Receivables Not to Be Evidenced by Promissory Notes or Chattel Paper. The Originator shall not take any action to cause or permit any Receivable created, acquired or originated by it to become evidenced by any “instrument” or “chattel paper” (as defined in the applicable UCC) without the prior written consent of the Buyer and the Administrative Agent.

(s)Buyer’s Tax Status. The Originator shall not take or cause any action to be taken that could result in the Buyer (i) being treated other than as a “disregarded entity” within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulation § 301.7701-3 for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (ii) becoming an association taxable as a corporation or a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (iii) subject to any Tax in any jurisdiction outside the United States or (iv) except as a result of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, subject to any material Tax based on net income or gross receipts imposed by a state or local taxing authority.

(u)Other Additional Information. The Originator will provide to the Administrative Agent such information and documentation as may reasonably be requested by the Administrative Agent from time to time for purposes of compliance by the Administrative Agent or such Purchaser with Laws (including without limitation the USA PATRIOT Act and other “know your customer” rules and regulations), and any policy or procedure implemented by the Administrative Agent or such Purchase to comply therewith.

(v)Change in Payment Instructions to Obligors.

Each Originator hereby acknowledges that this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents are being entered into in reliance upon the Buyer’s identity as a legal entity separate from the Originator and its Affiliates. Therefore, from and after the date hereof, the Originator shall take all reasonable steps necessary to make it apparent to third Persons that the Buyer is an entity with assets and liabilities distinct from those of the Originators and any other Persons, and is not a division of any Originator, its Affiliates or any other Person.

(c)Each Originator hereby grants to 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 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 VII.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 the Administrative Agent of its rights hereunder shall not relieve any Originator from any such obligations and (ii) pay (or cause to be paid) when due any Taxes that are required to be paid by it, (including any sales Taxes) payable in connection with the Receivables generated by such Originator and their creation and satisfaction.

hand, in the matters contemplated by this Agreement as well as the relative fault of the Originators and their Affiliates and such Sale and Contribution Indemnified Party with respect to such loss, claim, damage or liability and any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Originators shall have no contribution obligation to the extent such loss, claim, damage or liability are in respect of Receivables that are uncollectable by reason of the bankruptcy, insolvency, lack of creditworthiness or other financial inability to pay, of the related Obligor. The reimbursement, indemnity and contribution obligations of the Originators under this Section 9.1 shall be in addition to any liability which the Originators may otherwise have, shall extend upon the same terms and conditions to the Sale and Contribution Indemnified Party, and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of such Originator and the Sale and Contribution Indemnified Parties.

Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that the Purchasers and the Administrative Agent are third-party beneficiaries of the rights of the Buyer arising hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents to which any Originator is a party, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, during the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default under the Receivables Purchase Agreement, the Administrative Agent, and not the Buyer, shall have the sole right to exercise all such rights and related remedies (subject to the terms of the Receivables Purchase Agreement).

SECTION X.10 No Proceeding. Each Originator hereby agrees that it will not institute, or join any other Person in instituting, against the Buyer any Relief Proceeding for at least one year and one day following the Final Payout Date. Each Originator further agrees that notwithstanding any provisions contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Buyer shall not pay any amount to such Originator in respect of any Subordinated Loan, any Subordinated Loan Agreement or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement unless the Buyer has received funds which may, subject to Section 3.01 of the Receivables Purchase Agreement, be used to make such payment or are not limited to as to use. Any amount which the Buyer does not pay pursuant to the operation of the preceding sentence shall not constitute a claim (as defined in §101 of the Bankruptcy Code) against, or corporate obligation of, the Buyer for any such insufficiency in any Relief Proceeding unless and until the provisions of the foregoing sentence are satisfied. The agreements in this Section 10.10 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
