Any such partial reduction in the Facility Limit shall result in a reduction in each Committed Lender’s Commitment in an amount equal to such Committed Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount by which the Aggregate Commitment is being reduced. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such reduction at any time that an Accordion Commitment is in effect shall be deemed to first, temporarily reduce the Accordion Facility Limit then in effect by reducing the Accordion Commitment of each Lender Group with an Accordion Commitment in an amount equal to such Lender Group’s Accordion Pro Rata Share of the amount by which the Accordion Facility Limit is being reduced until such Accordion Facility Limit equals $0 and second, permanently reduce the Non-Accordion Facility Limit then in effect by reducing each Committed Lender’s Commitment in accordance with this clause (a)
(b)    Facility Termination. The Borrower may, at any time, on at least 30 days’ prior written notice by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent and each Managing Agent, terminate the facility provided in this Article II by irrevocably reducing the Facility Limit to zero; provided that (i) such notice of termination shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.02(b) (the “Facility Termination Notice”), (ii) the Borrower shall reduce the aggregate outstanding amount of Advances to zero, and make all payments required by Section 2.03(h) at the time and in the manner specified therein and (iii) the Borrower shall pay any amounts owed under Section 2.02(d) in connection therewith. Upon such termination, the Borrower’s right to request that any Lender make Advances hereunder shall in each case simultaneously terminate and the Facility Termination Date shall automatically occur.
(c)    Increases to Facility Limit. (i) So long as no Incipient Termination Event or Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower may, once per quarter, during any calendar quarter of each year request that one or more Lender Groups increase their respective Commitments then in effect; provided that (A) the Borrower shall submit such request

(iii)    The Borrower’s request for the increases in the respective Commitments of the Lender Groups shall be ratable with respect to each such Lender Group (according to the then existing Commitments of all such Lender Groups) in respect of any Facility Limit Increase Request greater than $25,000,000, and if Lender Groups holding less than 100% of the aggregate Commitments of all Lender Groups consent to such increase in their respective Commitment, the Borrower may request further increases in the Commitments of the Lender Groups who have consented (any such Lender Group, an “Increasing Lender Group”) (by written notice to the Managing Agents for the Increasing Lender Groups), on a ratable basis (based on the then existing Commitments of all such Increasing Lender Groups), unless otherwise consented to in writing by all of the Managing Agents for such Increasing Lender Groups and at the sole discretion of the Managing Agents for each such Increasing Lender Group.
(iv)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (A) to the extent that the Outstanding Principal Amount of all Advances is at any time equal to or less than the Non-Accordion Facility Limit, all Advances shall be made during such time ratably according to each Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Non-Accordion Facility Limit prior to giving effect to any increases under this clause (c) and (B) so long as the Outstanding Principal Amount of all Advances is greater than the Non-Accordion Facility Limit, all

(ii)    Each Managing Agent (on behalf of its related Lender Group) shall, in its sole discretion, make a determination whether or not to grant any request to increase its Lender Group’s Commitment under this clause (e) and shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of such determination on or before the requested date of such increase; provided that if any Managing Agent fails to so notify the Administrative Agent, the Lenders in its Lender Group shall be deemed to have refused to consent to such increase request.

Section 2.03.    Procedures for Making Advances.
(a)    Borrowing Requests. Except as provided in Section 2.06(c), each Borrowing shall be made upon notice by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent (with a copy to each Managing Agent) in the manner provided herein. Any such notice must be in writing and received no later than 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Business Day preceding the Business Day of the proposed Advance Date set forth therein. Each such notice (a “Borrowing Request”) shall (i) be substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.03(a), (ii) be irrevocable and (iii) specify the amount of the requested Borrowing (which shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $500,000 in excess of $1,000,000) and the proposed Advance Date (which shall be a Business Day), and shall include such other information as may be required by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent. Each Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower, and the Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any loss or expense incurred by such Lender, either directly or indirectly (including, in the case of any Conduit Lender, through a Program Support Agreement) as a result of any failure by the Borrower to complete such borrowing, including any loss (including loss of profit) or expense incurred by the Administrative Agent, any Managing Agent or any Lender, either directly or indirectly (including, in the case of any Conduit Lender, pursuant to a Program Support Agreement) by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of funds acquired by such Lender (or the applicable Program Support Provider(s)) (including funds obtained by issuing commercial paper or promissory notes or obtaining deposits or loans from third parties) in order to fund such borrowing.
(b)    Advances; Payments. The Administrative Agent shall, promptly after receipt of a Borrowing Request and in any event prior to 4:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date such Borrowing Request is deemed received, by telecopy, telephone or other similar form of communication notify each Managing Agent of its receipt of such Borrowing Request, and the applicable Lenders shall make the amount of such applicable Advance available to the Administrative Agent in same day funds by wire transfer to the Agent Account not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on the requested Advance Date. After receipt of such wire transfers (or, in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion in accordance with Section 2.03(c), before receipt of such wire transfers), subject to the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall make available to the Borrower by deposit into the Borrower Account on the Advance Date therefor, the amount of the requested Borrowing.
(c)    Availability of Lenders’ Advances. The Administrative Agent may assume that each Lender will make its Pro Rata Share of each Borrowing of Advances available to the Administrative Agent on each Advance Date. If the Administrative Agent has made available to the Borrower such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any such Borrowing but such Pro Rata Share is not, in fact, paid to the Administrative Agent by such Lender when due, the Administrative Agent will be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender without set-off, counterclaim or deduction of any kind. If any Lender fails to pay the amount of its Pro Rata Share forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Borrower shall immediately repay such amount to the Administrative Agent. Nothing in this Section 2.03(c) or elsewhere in this Agreement or the other Related Documents shall be deemed to require the Administrative Agent to advance funds on behalf of any Lender or to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment hereunder or to take any action that would

To the extent that the Administrative Agent advances funds to the Borrower on behalf of any Lender and is not reimbursed therefor on the same Business Day as such Advance is made, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to retain for its account all interest accrued on such Advance from the date of such Advance to the date such Advance is reimbursed by the applicable Lender.
(d)    Return of Payments. (i) If the Administrative Agent pays an amount to a Lender under this Agreement in the belief or expectation that a related payment has been or will be received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower and such related payment is not received by the Administrative Agent, then the Administrative Agent will be entitled to recover such amount from such Lender on demand without set-off, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.
(ii)    If at any time any amount received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement must be returned to the Borrower or paid to any other Person pursuant to any insolvency law or otherwise, then, notwithstanding any other term or condition of this Agreement or any other Related Document, the Administrative Agent will not be required to distribute any portion thereof to any Lender. In addition, each Lender will repay to the Administrative Agent on demand any portion of such amount that the Administrative Agent has distributed to such Lender, together with interest at such rate, if any, as the Administrative Agent is required to pay to the Borrower or such other Person, without set-off, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.
(e)    Non-Funding Lenders. The failure of any Lender (each such Lender, a “Non-Funding Lender”) to make any Advance required to be made by it on the date specified therefor shall not relieve any other Lender (each such other Lender, an “Other Lender”) of its obligations to make the Advance required to be made by it, but neither any Other Lender nor the Administrative Agent shall be responsible for the failure of any Non-Funding Lender to make an Advance to be made by such Non-Funding Lender. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, a Non-Funding Lender shall not have any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Related Document or constitute a “Lender” (or be included in the calculation of “Requisite Lenders” hereunder) for any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Related Document unless and until such Non-Funding Lender shall have cured in full its failures to make Advances hereunder.
(f)    [Reserved].
(g)    [Reserved].

Any such notice of repayment must be received by the Administrative Agent no later than 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of the proposed repayment; provided further that the foregoing requirements shall not apply to repayment of the outstanding principal amount of Advances as a result of the application of Collections pursuant to Section 2.08.
Section 2.04.    Pledge and Release of Transferred Receivables.
(a)    Pledge. The Borrower shall indicate in its Records that the Transferred Receivables have been pledged hereunder and that the Administrative Agent has a lien on and security interest in all such Transferred Receivables for the benefit of the Secured Parties. The Borrower shall, and shall cause the Servicer to, hold all Contracts and other documents relating to such Transferred Receivables in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with their interests hereunder. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that its retention and possession of such Contracts and documents shall at all times be at the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and in a custodial capacity for the Administrative Agent’s (on behalf of the Secured Parties) benefit only.
(b)    Repurchases of Transferred Receivables. If an Originator is required (or permitted) to repurchase Transferred Receivables from the Borrower pursuant to Section 4.04 of the Sale Agreement, upon payment by such Originator to the applicable Concentration Account of the applicable repurchase price thereof (which repurchase price shall not be less than an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of the Outstanding Balance of such Transferred Receivable), the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties shall release their liens on and security interests in the Transferred Receivables being so repurchased.
Section 2.05.    Facility Termination Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, no Lender shall have any obligation to make any Advances from and after the Facility Termination Date.
Section 2.06.    Interest, Charges.
(a)    From time to time, for purposes of determining the Interest Periods applicable to the different portions of the Outstanding Principal Amount funded by its Lender Group and of calculating Yield with respect thereto, each Managing Agent shall allocate the Outstanding Principal Amount allocable to its Lender Group to one or more tranches (each a “Portion of Advances”). At any time, each Portion of Advances shall have only one Interest Period and one Rate Type.
(b)    All outstanding Borrower Obligations shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date of any Termination Event until such Termination Event is waived.

Each Affected Party agrees that, as promptly as practicable after it becomes aware of any circumstance referred to above that would result in any such Additional Costs, it shall, to the extent not inconsistent with its internal policies of general application, use reasonable commercial efforts to minimize costs and expenses incurred by it and payable to it by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.09(b).
(c)    Determination Binding. Determinations by any Affected Party for purposes of this Section 2.09 of the effect of any Regulatory Change on its costs of making, funding or maintaining any commitments hereunder or under any other Related Documents or on amounts payable to it hereunder or thereunder or of the additional amounts required to compensate such Affected Party in respect of any Additional Costs shall be set forth in a written notice to the Borrower in reasonable detail and shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Borrower (absent manifest error) for all purposes.
(d)    LIBOR Rate Protection; Illegality. (i) If any Managing Agent is unable to obtain on a timely basis the information necessary to determine the LIBOR Rate or the LMIR Rate for any proposed Interest Period (or portion thereof), then:
(A)    such Managing Agent shall forthwith notify the Lenders in its Lender Group and the Borrower that the LIBOR Rate or the LMIR Rate, as applicable, cannot be determined for such Interest Period (or portion thereof), and
(B)    while such circumstances exist, none of such Lenders or such Managing Agent shall allocate any Portion of Advances with respect to Advances made during such period or reallocate any Portion of Advances allocated to any then existing Interest Period ending during such period, to an Interest Period with respect to which Yield is calculated by reference to the LIBOR Rate or the LMIR Rate.
(ii)    If, with respect to any outstanding Interest Period (or, solely with respect to the LMIR Rate, with respect to any day), any Lender on behalf of which a Managing Agent holds any Portion of Advances notifies such Managing Agent that it is unable to obtain matching deposits in the London interbank market to fund its purchase or maintenance of

15


Confidential Treatment Requested

such Portion of Advances or that the LIBOR Rate or the LMIR Rate applicable to such Portion of Advances will not adequately reflect the cost to such Person of funding or maintaining such Portion of Advances for such Interest Period or day, then (A) such Managing Agent shall forthwith so notify the Borrower and (B) upon such notice and thereafter while such circumstances exist none of such Managing Agent or such Lender shall allocate any other Portion of Advances with respect to Advances made during such period or reallocate any Portion of Advances allocated to any Interest Period ending during such period, to an Interest Period with respect to which Yield is calculated by reference to the LIBOR Rate or the LMIR Rate.
(iii)    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender shall notify its Managing Agent that it has determined (or it has been notified by any Program Support Provider) that the introduction after the Closing Date of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law makes it unlawful (either for such Lender or such Program Support Provider, as applicable), or any central bank or other Official Body asserts that it is unlawful for such Lender or such Program Support Provider, as applicable, to fund the purchases or maintenance of any Portion of Advances accruing Yield calculated by reference to the LIBOR Rate or the LMIR Rate, then (A) as of the effective date of such notice from such Person to its Managing Agent, the obligation or ability of such Lender to fund the making or maintenance of any Portion of Advances accruing Yield calculated by reference to the LIBOR Rate or the LMIR Rate, as applicable, shall be suspended until such Person notifies its Managing Agent that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist and (B) each Portion of Advances made or maintained by such Person shall either (1) if such Person may lawfully continue to maintain such Portion of Advances accruing Yield calculated by reference to the LIBOR Rate or the LMIR Rate until the last day of the applicable Interest Period, be reallocated on the last day of such Interest Period (or, solely with respect to the LMIR Rate, immediately) to another Interest Period and shall accrue Yield calculated by reference to the Base Rate or (2) if such Person shall determine that it may not lawfully continue to maintain such Portion of Advances accruing Yield calculated by reference to the LIBOR Rate or the LMIR Rate until the end of the applicable Interest Period, such Person’s share of such Portion of Advances allocated to such Interest Period shall be deemed to accrue Yield at the Base Rate from the effective date of such notice until the end of such Interest Period.
(e)    Replacement of the Lenders. Upon any Lender’s making a claim for compensation under Section 2.09, the Borrowers may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 13.02.
Section 2.10.    Breakage Costs. (a) If (i) any LIBOR Rate Advances are, except by reason of the requirements in Section 2.03(c), repaid in whole or in part on any date other than a Settlement Date (whether that repayment is made pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement or any other Related Document or is the result of acceleration, by operation of law or otherwise); (ii) the Borrower shall default in payment when due of the principal amount of or interest on any LIBOR Rate Advance; (iii) the Borrower shall default in making any borrowing of LIBOR Rate Advances after the Borrower has given notice requesting the same in accordance herewith (including any failure to satisfy conditions precedent to the making of any LIBOR Rate Advances); or (iv) the

16


Confidential Treatment Requested

Borrower shall fail to make any prepayment of a LIBOR Rate Advance after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance herewith, then, in any such case, the Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless each applicable Lender or Program Support Provider from and against all losses, costs and expenses resulting from or arising from any of the foregoing (any such loss, cost or expense, “Breakage Costs”). Such indemnification shall include any loss (including loss of margin) or expense arising from the reemployment of funds obtained by it or from fees payable to terminate deposits from which such funds were obtained (if any). For the purpose of calculating amounts payable under this subsection, each Lender shall be deemed to have actually funded its relevant LIBOR Rate Advance through the purchase of a deposit bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate in an amount equal to the amount of that LIBOR Rate Advance; provided that each such Lender may fund each of its LIBOR Rate Advances in any manner it sees fit, and the foregoing assumption shall be utilized only for the calculation of amounts payable under this subsection. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Revolving Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder. The determination by any Lender of the amount of any such loss or expense shall be set forth in a written notice to the Borrower in reasonable detail and shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Borrower (absent manifest error) for all purposes.
(b)    In addition, the Borrower shall pay the Managing Agents for the account of the Conduit Lenders, as applicable, on demand, such amount or amounts as shall compensate the Conduit Lenders for any loss, cost or expense incurred by the Conduit Lenders (as reasonably determined by its Managing Agent) as a result of any reduction of any Advance other than on the maturity date of the Commercial Paper (or other financing source) funding such Advance, such compensation to be (i) limited to an amount equal to any loss or expense suffered by the Conduit Lenders (other than any loss of margin above the applicable cost of funds) during the period from the date of receipt of such repayment to (but excluding) the maturity date of such Commercial Paper (or other financing source) and (ii) net of the income, if any, received by the recipient of such reductions from investing the proceeds of such reductions of such Advance. The determination by any Managing Agent of the amount of any such loss or expense shall be set forth in a written notice to the Borrower in reasonable detail and shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
Section 2.11.    Ratings Confirmation. Upon the written request of any Managing Agent, the Borrower shall (at such requesting Managing Agent’s expense) obtain a rating, from a nationally-recognized rating agency reasonably acceptable to such Managing Agent and the Administrative Agent (an “Approved Rating Agency”), of the facility contemplated by this Agreement (each, an “External Rating”) within sixty (60) days from the date of such written request; provided that if such Approved Rating Agency issues an External Rating less than the equivalent of the Explicit Rating, then the Borrower shall effect a Ratings Cure within sixty (60) days of receiving such External Rating; provided, further that the Borrower may effect one such Ratings Cure for each Managing Agent request prior to obtaining a subsequent External Rating that is equal to or better than the Explicit Rating. For purposes of the foregoing, “Ratings Cure” means the Borrower has: (i) promptly following receipt of the External Rating, notified the Administrative Agent and the applicable Managing Agent of its intention to effect a Ratings Cure, (ii) taken, or caused the Originators to take, such actions permitted under this Agreement and the Sale Agreement that the Borrower reasonably believes would improve (or indicated as required, by the Approved Rating Agency, in order to improve) the rating of the facility contemplated by this Agreement and

17

(iii) within sixty (60) days of receiving such External Rating obtained a new rating of the facility contemplated by this Agreement from the Approved Rating Agency that provided the initial External Rating (or, with the Administrative Agent's consent (and the consent of any Managing Agent which may have requested a rating), from another Approved Rating Agency) and such new rating is at least equal to the Explicit Rating.

20

All tax returns, reports and statements, including information returns (Form 1120-S), required by any Governmental Authority to be filed by the Borrower and all material tax returns, reports and statements, including information returns, required by any Governmental Authority to be filed by any Affiliate of the Borrower, have in each case been filed with the appropriate Governmental Authority and all Charges and other impositions shown thereon to be due and payable (other than Charges or other impositions which Borrower is diligently contesting in good faith by appropriate proceedings, in respect of which no final unappealable order has been made against Borrower, and with respect to which Borrower is maintaining adequate reserves under GAAP) have been paid prior to the date on which any fine, penalty, interest or late charge may be added thereto for nonpayment thereof, or any such fine, penalty, interest, late charge or loss has been paid. Borrower has paid when due and payable all material Charges required to be paid by it. Proper and accurate amounts have been withheld by the Borrower or such Affiliate from its employees (as applicable) for all periods in full and complete compliance with the tax, social security and unemployment withholding provisions of applicable federal, state, provincial, local and foreign law and such withholdings have been timely paid to the respective Governmental Authorities. Schedule 4.01(i) sets forth those taxable years for which the Borrower’s or such Affiliates’ are currently being audited by the IRS or any other applicable Governmental Authority and any assessments or threatened assessments in connection with any such audit or otherwise currently outstanding. Except as described in Schedule 4.01(i), neither the Borrower nor any such Affiliate has executed or filed with the IRS or any other Governmental Authority any agreement or other document extending, or having the effect of extending, the period for assessment or collection of any Charges. Neither as of nor following the Effective Date have the Borrower or any of its Affiliates included in the Parent Group agreed or been requested to make any adjustment under IRC 481(a) by reason of a change in accounting method or otherwise that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(j)    Full Disclosure. No information contained in this Agreement, any Borrowing Base Certificate or any of the other Related Documents, or any other written statement or information furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower to any Lender, any Managing Agent or the Administrative Agent relating to this Agreement, the Transferred Receivables or any of the other Related Documents, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made. All business plans and other forecasts and projections (including the Projections) furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower and made available to any Lender, any Managing Agent or the Administrative Agent relating to the financial condition, operations, business, properties or prospects of Borrower were prepared in good faith on the basis of the facts and assumptions stated therein, which assumptions were fair in light of the conditions existing at the time of delivery of such forecasts, and represented, at the time of delivery, Borrower’s reasonable estimate of its plans, forecasts or projections, as applicable, based on the information available at the time (it being acknowledged that actual results may vary, and such variations may be material).
(k)    ERISA. During the twelve-consecutive-month period prior to the date of the execution and delivery of this Agreement, no steps have been taken that would reasonably be expected to result in the termination of any Pension Plan of the Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate

23


Confidential Treatment Requested

of the Borrower, and no contribution failure has occurred with respect to any Pension Plan of the Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate of the Borrower that would reasonably be expected to give rise to a Lien under section 303(k) of ERISA. No condition exists or event or transaction has occurred with respect to any Pension Plan of the Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate of the Borrower which would reasonably be expected to result in the Borrower incurring any material liability, fine or penalty.
(l)    Brokers. No broker or finder acting on behalf of the Borrower was employed or utilized in connection with this Agreement or the other Related Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby and the Borrower has no obligation to any Person in respect of any finder’s or brokerage fees in connection therewith.
(m)    Margin Regulations. The Borrower is not engaged in the business of extending credit for the purpose of “purchasing” or “carrying” any “margin security,” as such terms are defined in Regulation U of the Federal Reserve Board as now and from time to time hereafter in effect (such securities being referred to herein as “Margin Stock”). The Borrower owns no Margin Stock, and no portion of the proceeds of the Advances made hereunder will be used, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock, for the purpose of reducing or retiring any Debt that was originally incurred to purchase or carry any Margin Stock or for any other purpose that might cause any portion of such proceeds to be considered a “purpose credit” within the meaning of Regulations T, U or X of the Federal Reserve Board. The Borrower will not take or permit to be taken any action that might cause any Related Document to violate any regulation of the Federal Reserve Board.
(n)    Nonapplicability of Bulk Sales Laws. No transaction contemplated by this Agreement or any of the Related Documents requires compliance with any bulk sales act or similar law.
(o)    Government Regulation. The Borrower (i) is not a “covered fund” under the Volcker Rule and (ii) is not, and after giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby, will not be required to register as, an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act or any successor statute. In determining that the Borrower is not a covered fund, the Borrower is entitled to rely on the exemption from the definition of “investment company” set forth in Section 3(c)(5) of the Investment Company Act. The making of Advances by the Lenders hereunder, the application of the proceeds thereof and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Related Documents will not violate any provision of any such statute or any rule, regulation or order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
(p)    Nonconsolidation. The Borrower is operated in such a manner that the separate corporate existence of the Borrower, on the one hand, and any member of the Parent Group, on the other hand, would not be disregarded in the event of the bankruptcy or insolvency of any member of the Parent Group and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(a)    The Administrative Agent may, without notice to the Borrower except as required by law and at any time or from time to time, (i) charge, offset or otherwise apply amounts payable to the Borrower from any Account against all or any part of the Borrower Obligations and (ii) without limiting the terms of Section 7.05(d), notify any Obligor under any Transferred Receivable or obligors under the Borrower Assigned Agreements of the transfer of the Transferred Receivables to the Borrower and the pledge of such Transferred Receivables or Borrower Assigned Agreements, as the case may be, to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties and direct that payments of all amounts due or to become due to the Borrower thereunder be made directly to the Administrative Agent or any servicer, collection agent or lockbox or other account designated by the Administrative Agent.
(b)    The Administrative Agent may, without notice except as specified below, solicit and accept bids for and sell the Borrower Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any exchange, broker’s board or any of the Lenders’ or Managing Agents’ offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Administrative Agent may deem commercially reasonable. The Administrative Agent shall have the right to conduct such sales on the Borrower’s premises or elsewhere and shall have the right to use any of the Borrower’s premises without charge for such sales at such time or times as the Administrative Agent deems necessary or advisable. The Borrower agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, ten days’ notice to the Borrower of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Borrower Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Administrative Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for such sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Every such sale shall operate to divest all right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever of the Borrower in and to the Borrower Collateral so sold, and shall be a perpetual bar, both at law and in equity, against each Originator, the Borrower, any Person claiming any right in the Borrower Collateral sold through any Originator or the Borrower, and their respective successors or assigns. The Administrative Agent shall deposit the net proceeds of any such sale in the Agent Account and such proceeds shall be applied against all or any part of the Borrower Obligations.
(c)    Upon the completion of any sale under Section 9.01(b), the Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the purchaser or purchasers at such sale on the date thereof, or within a reasonable time thereafter if it shall be impracticable to make immediate delivery, all of the Borrower Collateral sold on such date, but in any event full title and right of possession to such property shall vest in such purchaser or purchasers upon the completion of such sale. Nevertheless, if so requested by the Administrative Agent or by any such purchaser, the Borrower shall confirm any such sale or transfer by executing and delivering to such purchaser all proper instruments of conveyance and transfer and releases as may be designated in any such request.
(d)    At any sale under Section 9.01(b), any Lender, any Managing Agent or the Administrative Agent may bid for and purchase the property offered for sale and, upon compliance with the terms of sale, may hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability therefor.

(e)    The Administrative Agent may (but in no event shall be obligated to) exercise, at the sole cost and expense of the Borrower, any and all rights and remedies of the Borrower under or in connection with the Borrower Assigned Agreements or the other Borrower Collateral, including any and all rights of the Borrower to demand or otherwise require payment of any amount under, or performance of any provisions of, the Borrower Assigned Agreements. Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall, upon the occurrence of any Event of Servicer Termination, have the right to name any Successor Servicer (including itself) pursuant to Article VIII of the Sale Agreement.
Section 9.02.    Exercise of Remedies. No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent, any Managing Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement and no course of dealing between any Originator, the Borrower or the Servicer, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, any Managing Agent or any Lender, on the other hand, shall operate as a waiver of such right, power or privilege, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under this Agreement preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies under this Agreement are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently, and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that the Administrative Agent, any Managing Agent or any Lender would otherwise have at law or in equity. No notice to or demand on any party hereto shall entitle such party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances, or constitute a waiver of the right of the party providing such notice or making such demand to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.
Section 9.03.    Power of Attorney. On the 2016 Effective Date, the Borrower shall execute and deliver a power of attorney substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 9.03 (a “Power of Attorney”). The Power of Attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until this Agreement has terminated in accordance with its terms and all of the Borrower Obligations are indefeasibly paid or otherwise satisfied in full. The powers conferred on the Administrative Agent under each Power of Attorney are solely to protect the Liens of the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Secured Parties) upon and interests in the Borrower Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Administrative Agent to exercise any such powers. The Administrative Agent shall not be accountable for any amount other than amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers and none of the Administrative Agent’s officers, directors, employees, agents or representatives shall be responsible to the Borrower, any Originator, the Servicer or any other Person for any act or failure to act, except to the extent of damages attributable to their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. The Administrative Agent covenants and agrees not to use the Power of Attorney except following a Termination Event and prior to the occurrence of the Termination Date.

Section 11.05.    Notice of Termination Event, Incipient Termination Event, Event of Servicer Termination or Incipient Servicer Termination Event. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Managing Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of an Incipient Termination Event, Termination Event, Event of Servicer Termination or Incipient Servicer Termination Event, unless it has received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Incipient Termination Event, Termination Event, Event of Servicer Termination or Incipient Servicer Termination Event and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Termination Event or Incipient Termination Event” or “Notice of Incipient Servicer Termination Event or Event of Servicer Termination,” as applicable.

Each Secured Party, including any Lender by assignment, represents to the Administrative Agent and its Managing Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower, the Parent, the Servicer, each Originator or their respective Affiliates, and all applicable bank regulatory laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrower hereunder. Each Secured Party also represents that it shall, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Related Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower, the Parent, the Servicer or the Originators. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly herein required to be furnished to the Security Parties by the Administrative Agent or any Managing Agent herein, neither the Administrative Agent nor any Managing Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Secured Party with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower, the Parent, the Servicer, any Originator or their respective Affiliates which may come into the possession of any of the Agent-Related Persons.
Section 11.07.    Indemnification. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Committed Lenders (or the Committed Lenders in the applicable Lender Group) shall indemnify upon demand each Agent-Related Person (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), pro rata, and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person from and against any and all Indemnified Amounts incurred by it; provided that no Committed Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Amounts resulting from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that no action taken by Administrative Agent (or any Managing Agent) in accordance with the directions of the Managing Agents (or the Lenders in its Lender Group) shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section 11.07. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse its Managing Agent, the Administrative Agent and each Letter of Credit Issuer upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including attorney’s fees) incurred in connection with the preparation,

The undertaking in this Section 11.07 shall survive payment on the Termination Date and the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or such Managing Agent.

The Secured Parties acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, any such Person or its Affiliates may receive information regarding the Borrower, the Parent, the Originators, the Servicer or their respective Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Person) and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to its Commitment, the Administrative Agent and each Managing Agent (and any successor thereto in such capacity) in its capacity as a Committed Lender hereunder shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Committed Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, a Managing Agent or a Committed Lender, as applicable, and the term “Committed Lender” shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent and each Managing Agent in its individual capacity.
Section 11.09.    Resignation. The Administrative Agent or any Managing Agent may resign upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the applicable Lenders. If the Administrative Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Requisite Lenders shall appoint from among the Committed Lenders a successor agent for the Secured Parties. If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders, a successor agent from among the Committed Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent hereunder, such successor agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent and the Administrative Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 11.09 and Sections 11.03 and 11.07 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent under this Agreement. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date which is thirty (30) days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Committed Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Requisite Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. If a Managing Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Lenders in such Lender Group shall appoint a successor agent.

Any Lender or holder of any Revolving Note exercising a right to set off or otherwise receiving any payment on account of the Borrower Obligations in excess of its Pro Rata Share thereof shall purchase for cash (and the other Lenders or holders shall sell) such participations in each such other Lender’s or holder’s Pro Rata Share of the Borrower Obligations as would be necessary to cause such Lender to share the amount so set off or otherwise received with each other Lender or holder in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares. The Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that (a) any Lender or holder may exercise its right to set off with respect to amounts in excess of its Pro Rata Share of the Borrower Obligations and may sell participations in such amount so set off to other Lenders and holders and (b) any Lender or holders so purchasing a participation in the Advances made or other Borrower Obligations held by other Lenders or holders may exercise all rights of set off, bankers’ lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender or holder were a direct holder of the Advances, and the other Borrower Obligations in the amount of such participation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if all or any portion of the set-off amount or payment otherwise received is thereafter recovered from the Lender that has exercised the right of set-off, the purchase of participations by that Lender shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored without interest.

Failure or delay in delivering copies of any notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or other communication to any Person (other than any Lender, any Managing Agent and the Administrative Agent) designated in any written notice provided hereunder to receive copies shall in no way adversely affect the effectiveness of such notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or other communication. Notwithstanding the foregoing, whenever it is provided herein that a notice is to be given to any other party hereto by a specific time, such notice shall only be effective if actually received by such party prior to such time, and if such notice is received after such time or on a day other than a Business Day, such notice shall only be effective on the immediately succeeding Business Day.
Section 12.02.    Binding Effect; Assignability.
(a)    This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, each Lender, each Managing Agent, each Administrator and the Administrative Agent and their respective successors and permitted assigns. The Borrower may not assign, transfer, hypothecate or otherwise convey any of its rights or obligations hereunder or interests herein without the express prior written consent of the Requisite Lenders. Any such purported assignment, transfer, hypothecation or other conveyance by the Borrower without the prior express written consent of the Requisite Lenders shall be void. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, to the extent the terms and provisions of any Intercreditor Agreement are inconsistent with the terms and provisions of this Agreement or the Sale Agreement, the terms and provisions of such Intercreditor Agreement shall control. Each of the Lenders, Managing Agents, Administrators and the Administrative Agent agrees not to transfer any interest it may have in the Related Documents unless the applicable transferee has been notified of the existence of each Intercreditor Agreement and has agreed to be bound thereby.

(b)    The Borrower hereby consents to any Lender’s assignment or pledge of, and/or sale of participations in, at any time or times after the Effective Date of the Related Documents, Advances, and any Commitment or of any portion thereof or interest therein, including any Lender’s rights, title, interests, remedies, powers or duties thereunder, whether evidenced by a writing or not, made in accordance with this Section 12.02(b). Any assignment by a Lender shall (i) require the execution of an assignment agreement (an “Assignment Agreement”) substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 12.02(b) or otherwise in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent, and the consent of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and may be withheld if the short-term unsecured debt rating of the proposed Lender is not at least “A-1” or the equivalent by S&P and “P-1” or the equivalent by Moody’s at the time of such assignment); (ii) if a partial assignment, be in an amount at least equal to $5,000,000 and, after giving effect to any such partial assignment, the assigning Committed Lender shall have retained Commitments in an amount at least equal to $5,000,000; and (iii) require the delivery to the Administrative Agent by the assignee or participant, as the case may be, of any forms, certificates or other evidence with respect to United States tax withholding matters. In the case of an assignment by a Lender under this Section 12.02, the assignee shall have, to the extent of such assignment, the same rights, benefits and obligations as it would if it were a Lender hereunder. The assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to its Commitments or assigned portion thereof from and after the date of such assignment. The Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that any assignment made in accordance with this Section 12.02(b) will give rise to a direct obligation of the Borrower to the assignee and that the assignee shall thereupon be a “Lender” for all purposes. In all instances, each Committed Lender’s obligation to make Advances shall be several and not joint and shall be limited to such Committed Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the applicable Commitment. In the event any Lender assigns or otherwise transfers all or any part of a Revolving Note, such Lender shall so notify the Borrower and the Borrower shall, upon the request of such Lender, execute new Revolving Notes in exchange for the Revolving Notes being assigned. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 12.02(b), any Lender may, without consent from or notice to the Borrower or any other party hereto, at any time pledge or assign all or any portion of such Lender’s rights under this Agreement and the other Related Documents to any Federal Reserve Bank or to any holder or trustee of such Lender’s securities; provided that no such pledge or assignment to any Federal Reserve Bank, holder or trustee shall release such Lender from such Lender’s obligations hereunder or under any other Related Document and no such holder or trustee shall be entitled to enforce any rights of such Lender hereunder unless such holder or trustee becomes a Lender hereunder through execution of an Assignment Agreement as set forth above.
(c)    In addition to the foregoing right, without notice to or consent from the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, (x) any Lender may assign to any of its Affiliates and any Discretionary Lender may assign to a Committed Lender or to a Program Support Provider all or a portion of its rights (but not its obligations) under the Related Documents, including a sale of any Advances or other Borrower Obligations hereunder and such Lender’s right to receive payment with respect to any such Borrower Obligation and (y) sell participations to one or more Persons in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under the Related Documents (including all its rights and obligations with respect to the Advances); provided that (A) no such participant shall

61


Confidential Treatment Requested

have a commitment, or be deemed to have made an offer to commit, to make Advances hereunder, and none shall be liable to any Person for any obligations of such Lender hereunder (it being understood that nothing in this Section 12.02(c) shall limit any rights the Lender may have as against such participant under the terms of the applicable option, sale or participation agreement between or among such parties); and (B) no holder of any such participation shall be entitled to require such Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder except actions directly affecting (i) any reduction in the principal amount of, or interest rate or Fees payable with respect to, any Advance in which such holder participates, (ii) any extension of any scheduled payment of the principal amount of any Advance in which such holder participates or the final maturity date thereof, and (iii) any release of all or substantially all of the Borrower Collateral (other than in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the other Related Documents). Solely for purposes of Sections 2.08, 2.09, 2.10, and 9.01, Borrower acknowledges and agrees that each such sale or participation shall give rise to a direct obligation of the Borrower to the participant and each such participant shall be considered to be a “Lender” for purposes of such sections. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, such Lender’s rights and obligations, and the rights and obligations of the other Lenders, the Managing Agents and the Administrative Agent towards such Lender under any Related Document shall remain unchanged and none of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any Managing Agent or any Lender (other than the Lender selling a participation) shall have any duty to any participant and may continue to deal solely with the assigning or selling Lender as if no such assignment or sale had occurred.
(d)    Without limiting the foregoing, a Conduit Lender may, from time to time, with prior or concurrent notice to the Borrower, in one transaction or a series of transactions, assign all or a portion of its interest in the Advances and its rights and obligations under this Agreement and any other Related Documents to which it is a party to a Conduit Assignee; provided that (i) if the ratings of the Commercial Paper of such Conduit Assignee are not at least equal to the ratings of such Conduit Lender, then Borrower consent shall be required, and (ii) such assignment complies with Section 12.02(b) (other than not requiring the consent of the Borrower). Upon and to the extent of such assignment by a Conduit Lender to a Conduit Assignee, (i) such Conduit Assignee shall be the owner of the assigned portion of such interest, (ii) the related Administrator for such Conduit Assignee will act as the Administrator for such Conduit Assignee hereunder, with all corresponding rights and powers, express or implied, granted to the Administrator hereunder or under the other Related Documents, (iii) such Conduit Assignee (and any related commercial paper issuer, if such Conduit Assignee does not itself issue commercial paper) and their respective liquidity support provider(s) and credit support provider(s) and other related parties shall have the benefit of all the rights and protections provided to the Conduit Lender and its Program Support Provider(s) herein and in the other Related Documents (including any limitation on recourse against such Conduit Assignee or related parties, any agreement not to file or join in the filing of a petition to commence an insolvency proceeding against such Conduit Assignee, and the right to assign to another Conduit Assignee as provided in this paragraph), (iv) such Conduit Assignee shall assume all (or the assigned or assumed portion) of the Conduit Lender’s obligations, if any, hereunder or any other Related Document, and the Conduit Lender shall be released from such obligations, in each case to the extent of such assignment, and the obligations of the Conduit Lender and such Conduit Assignee shall be several and not joint, (v) all distributions in respect of such interest in the Advances shall be made to the applicable Managing Agent or the related Administrator, as

62


Confidential Treatment Requested

applicable, on behalf of the Conduit Lender and such Conduit Assignee on a pro rata basis according to their respective interests, (vi) the definition of the term “CP Rate” with respect to the portion of the Advances funded with commercial paper issued by the Conduit Lender from time to time shall be determined in the manner set forth in the definition of “CP Rate” applicable to the Conduit Lender on the basis of the interest rate or discount applicable to commercial paper issued by such Conduit Assignee (or the related commercial paper issuer, if such Conduit Assignee does not itself issue commercial paper) rather than the Conduit Lender, (vii) the defined terms and other terms and provisions of this Agreement and the other Related Documents shall be interpreted in accordance with the foregoing, (viii) the Conduit Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender already, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Servicer, all applicable tax documentation reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower or the Servicer and (ix) if requested by the related Managing Agent or the related Administrator with respect to the Conduit Assignee, the parties will execute and deliver such further agreements and documents and take such other actions as the related Managing Agent or such Administrator may reasonably request to evidence and give effect to the foregoing. For the avoidance of doubt, no assignment by a Conduit Lender to a Conduit Assignee of all or any portion of its interest in the Advances shall in any way diminish the related Committed Lenders’ obligations under Section 2.03 to fund any Advances not funded by the related Conduit Lender or such Conduit Assignee.
(e)    In the event that a Conduit Lender makes an assignment to a Conduit Assignee in accordance with clause (d) above, the Related Committed Lenders: (i) if requested by the related Administrator, shall terminate their participation in the applicable Program Support Agreement to the extent of such assignment, (ii) if requested by the related Administrator, shall execute (either directly or through a participation agreement, as determined by such Administrator) the program support agreement related to such Conduit Assignee, to the extent of such assignment, the terms of which shall be substantially similar to those of the participation or other agreement entered into by such Committed Lender with respect to the applicable Program Support Agreement (or which shall be otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Administrator and the Related Committed Lenders), (iii) if requested by the related Conduit Lender, shall enter into such agreements as requested by such Conduit Lender pursuant to which they shall be obligated to provide funding to the Conduit Assignee on substantially the same terms and conditions as is provided for in this Agreement in respect of such Conduit Lender (or which agreements shall be otherwise reasonably satisfactory to such Conduit Lender and the Committed Lenders), and (iv) shall take such actions as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request in connection therewith.
(f)    Except as expressly provided in this Section 12.02, no Lender shall, as between the Borrower and that Lender, or between the Administrative Agent and that Lender, be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder as a result of any sale, assignment, transfer or negotiation of, or granting of a participation in, all or any part of the Advances, the Revolving Notes or other Borrower Obligations owed to such Lender.
(g)    The Borrower shall assist any Lender permitted to sell assignments or participations under this Section 12.02 as reasonably required to enable the assigning or selling Lender to effect any such assignment or participation, including the execution and delivery of any

63

and all agreements, notes and other documents and instruments as shall be reasonably requested and the participation of management in meetings with potential assignees or participants.
(h)    A Lender may furnish any information concerning the Borrower, the Originators, the Servicer and/or the Receivables in the possession of such Lender from time to time to assignees and participants (including prospective assignees and participants). Each Lender shall obtain from all prospective and actual assignees or participants confidentiality covenants substantially equivalent to those contained in Section 12.05.
(i)    The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, a copy of each Assignment Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Advances owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.  Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Advances or other obligations under the Related Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant's interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any of the Related Documents) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.
(j)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any Conduit Lender may at any time pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including rights to payment of principal and interest on such Conduit Lender’s Advances) to any Conduit Trustee without notice to or consent of the Borrower (and without entering into an Assignment Agreement); provided, that no such pledge or assignment to any Conduit Trustee shall release such Conduit Lender from such Conduit Lender’s obligations hereunder or under any other Related Document or substitute any such Conduit Trustee for such Conduit Lender as a party hereto.
Section 12.03.    Termination; Survival of Borrower Obligations Upon Facility Termination Date.
(a)    This Agreement shall create and constitute the continuing obligations of the parties hereto in accordance with its terms, and shall remain in full force and effect until the Termination Date.

64

(b)    Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in any other Related Document, no termination or cancellation (regardless of cause or procedure) of any commitment made by any Affected Party under this Agreement shall in any way affect or impair the obligations, duties and liabilities of the Borrower or the rights of any Affected Party relating to any unpaid portion of the Borrower Obligations, due or not due, liquidated, contingent or unliquidated or any transaction or event occurring prior to such termination, or any transaction or event the performance of which is required after the Facility Termination Date. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in any other Related Document, all undertakings, agreements, covenants, warranties and representations of or binding upon the Borrower and all rights of any Affected Party hereunder, all as contained in the Related Documents, shall not terminate or expire, but rather shall survive any such termination or cancellation and shall continue in full force and effect until the Termination Date; provided that the rights and remedies provided for herein with respect to any breach of any representation or warranty made by the Borrower pursuant to Section 4.01(a), (c), (e), (j), (p), (r) and (v), Article IV, the indemnification and payment provisions of Article X and Sections 11.05, 12.05, 12.14 and 12.15 shall be continuing and shall survive the Termination Date.

The Borrower may, however, disclose the general terms of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Related Documents to trade creditors, suppliers and other similarly-situated Persons so long as such disclosure is not in the form of a news release or public announcement.
(c)    The Administrative Agent, each Managing Agent, each Administrator and each Lender agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), and will not use such confidential Information for any purpose or in any matter except in connection with this Agreement, except that Information may be disclosed (1) to (i) each Affected Party (ii) its and each Affected Party’s and their respective Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential and to not disclose or use such Information in violation of Regulation FD (17 C.F.R. § 243.100-243.103)) and (iii) industry trade organizations for inclusion in league table measurements, (2) to any regulatory authority, (3) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (4) to any other party to this Agreement, (5) to the extent required in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Related Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (6) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 12.05, to any assignee of (or participant in), or any prospective assignee of (or participant in), any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, (7) with the consent of the Borrower, (8) to any nationally recognized statistical rating organization rating a Conduit Lender’s Commercial Paper, any dealer or placement agent of or depositary for the Conduit Lender’s Commercial Paper, any Administrator, any Program Support Provider, any credit/financing provider to any Conduit Lender or any of such Person’s counsel or accountants in relation to this Agreement or any other Related Document if they agree to hold the Information confidential, (9) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 12.05 or any other confidentiality agreement to which it is party with the Borrower or the Parent or any subsidiary thereof or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Managing Agent, any Administrator or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Parent or any subsidiary thereof or (10) to any Conduit Trustee.

Section 12.07.    Amendments and Waivers.
(a)    Except for actions expressly permitted to be taken by the Administrative Agent, no amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any Revolving Note, or any consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Borrower and the Requisite Lenders or, to the extent required under clause (b) below, by all affected Lenders, and, to the extent required under clause (b) below, by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Managing Agents. Except as set forth in clause (b) below, all amendments, modifications, terminations or waivers requiring the consent of any Lenders without specifying the required percentage of Lenders shall require the written consent of the Requisite Lenders.

Furthermore, no amendment, modification, termination or waiver shall be effective to the extent that it affects the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or any Managing Agent under this Agreement or any other Related Document unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent or such Managing Agent, as applicable.
Each amendment, modification, termination or waiver shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No amendment, modification, termination or waiver shall be required for the Administrative Agent to take additional Borrower Collateral pursuant to any Related Document. No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of any Revolving Note shall be effective without the written concurrence of the holder of such Revolving Note. No notice to or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. Any amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent effected in accordance with this Section 12.07 shall be binding upon each holder of a Revolving Note at the time outstanding and each future holder of a Revolving Note.
Neither the Administrative Agent, any Managing Agent nor any Lender shall waive any of the provisions set forth in Section 4.01(v) or Section 5.01(g) if such waiver would adversely affect the Ratings.
If required by any rating agency then rating the Commercial Paper of a Conduit Lender, the applicable Administrator shall provide to such rating agency copies of each material amendment to this Agreement or the other Related Documents (provided such rating agency agrees to hold such information confidential).
(c)    If, in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, waiver or termination:
(i)    requiring the consent of all affected Lenders, the consent of Requisite Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is not obtained as described this clause (i) or in clause (ii) below being referred to as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), or
(ii)    requiring the consent of all Lenders, the consent of Requisite Lenders is obtained, but the consent of all Lenders is not obtained,
then, so long as the Administrative Agent is not a Non-Consenting Lender, at the Borrower’s request the Administrative Agent, or a Person acceptable to the Administrative Agent, shall have the right with the Administrative Agent’s consent and in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion (but shall have no obligation) to purchase from such Non-Consenting Lenders, and such Non-Consenting Lenders agree that they shall, upon the Administrative Agent’s request, sell and assign to the

69

Administrative Agent or such Person, all of the Commitments of such Non-Consenting Lender for an amount equal to the principal balance of all Advances held by the Non-Consenting Lender and all accrued interest and Fees with respect thereto through the date of sale, such purchase and sale to be consummated pursuant to an executed Assignment Agreement.
(d)    Upon indefeasible payment in full in cash and performance of all of the Borrower Obligations (other than indemnification obligations under Section 10.01), termination of the aggregate Commitments of all Lenders and a release of all claims against the Secured Parties, and so long as no suits, actions, proceedings or claims are pending or threatened against any Indemnified Person asserting any damages, losses or liabilities that are Indemnified Liabilities, the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower termination statements and other documents necessary or appropriate to evidence the termination of the Liens securing payment of the Borrower Obligations.
Section 12.08.    No Waiver; Remedies. The failure by any Lender, any Managing Agent or the Administrative Agent, at any time or times, to require strict performance by the Borrower or the Servicer of any provision of this Agreement, any Receivables Assignment or any other Related Document shall not waive, affect or diminish any right of any Lender, any Managing Agent or the Administrative Agent thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance herewith or therewith. Any suspension or waiver of any breach or default hereunder shall not suspend, waive or affect any other breach or default whether the same is prior or subsequent thereto and whether the same or of a different type. None of the undertakings, agreements, warranties, covenants and representations of the Borrower or the Servicer contained in this Agreement, any Receivables Assignment or any other Related Document, and no breach or default by the Borrower or the Servicer hereunder or thereunder, shall be deemed to have been suspended or waived by any Lender, any Managing Agent or the Administrative Agent unless such waiver or suspension is by an instrument in writing signed by an officer of or other duly authorized signatory of each applicable Managing Agent and the Administrative Agent and directed to the Borrower or the Servicer, as applicable, specifying such suspension or waiver. The rights and remedies of the Lenders, the Managing Agents and the Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Related Documents shall be cumulative and nonexclusive of any other rights and remedies that the Lenders, the Managing Agents and the Administrative Agent may have hereunder, thereunder, under any other agreement, by operation of law or otherwise.

(a)    THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH OTHER RELATED DOCUMENT (EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY RELATED DOCUMENT EXPRESSLY PROVIDES TO THE CONTRARY) AND THE OBLIGATIONS ARISING HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS, INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE, BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (INCLUDING SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW BUT OTHERWISE WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES), EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT THE

PERFECTION, EFFECT OF PERFECTION OR PRIORITY OF THE INTERESTS OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT IN THE BORROWER COLLATERAL OR REMEDIES HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER, IN RESPECT THEREOF, ARE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF A JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF NEW YORK, AND ANY APPLICABLE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
(b)    EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY CONSENTS AND AGREES THAT THE STATE OR FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN IN NEW YORK CITY SHALL HAVE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION TO HEAR AND DETERMINE ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES BETWEEN THEM PERTAINING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR TO ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER RELATED DOCUMENT; PROVIDED THAT EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY APPEALS FROM THOSE COURTS MAY HAVE TO BE HEARD BY A COURT LOCATED OUTSIDE OF THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN IN NEW YORK CITY; PROVIDED FURTHER THAT NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED OR OPERATE TO PRECLUDE ANY LENDER, ANY MANAGING AGENT OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT FROM BRINGING SUIT OR TAKING OTHER LEGAL ACTION IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION TO REALIZE ON THE BORROWER COLLATERAL OR ANY OTHER SECURITY FOR THE BORROWER OBLIGATIONS, OR TO ENFORCE A JUDGMENT OR OTHER COURT ORDER IN FAVOR OF THE LENDERS, THE MANAGING AGENTS OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT. EACH PARTY HERETO SUBMITS AND CONSENTS IN ADVANCE TO SUCH JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION OR SUIT COMMENCED IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE BASED UPON LACK OF PERSONAL JURISDICTION, IMPROPER VENUE OR FORUM NON CONVENIENS AND HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE GRANTING OF SUCH LEGAL OR EQUITABLE RELIEF AS IS DEEMED APPROPRIATE BY SUCH COURT. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF THE SUMMONS, COMPLAINT AND OTHER PROCESS ISSUED IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR SUIT AND AGREES THAT SERVICE OF SUCH SUMMONS, COMPLAINT AND OTHER PROCESS MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL ADDRESSED TO SUCH PARTY AT THE ADDRESS PROVIDED FOR IN SECTION 12.01 HEREOF AND THAT SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE DEEMED COMPLETED UPON THE EARLIER OF SUCH PARTY’S ACTUAL RECEIPT THEREOF OR THREE DAYS AFTER DEPOSIT IN THE UNITED STATES MAIL, PROPER POSTAGE PREPAID. NOTHING IN THIS SECTION SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO SERVE LEGAL PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW.
(c)    BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH COMPLEX FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED BY AN EXPERIENCED AND EXPERT PERSON AND THE PARTIES WISH APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS TO APPLY (RATHER THAN ARBITRATION RULES), THE PARTIES DESIRE THAT THEIR DISPUTES BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS.

Section 12.10.    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile or electronic mail) in any number of separate counterparts, each of which shall collectively and separately constitute one agreement.
Section 12.11.    Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
Section 12.12.    Section Titles. The section, titles and table of contents contained in this Agreement are and shall be without substantive meaning or content of any kind whatsoever and are not a part of the agreement between the parties hereto.
Section 12.13.    Further Assurances.
(a)    The Borrower shall, or shall cause the Servicer to, at its sole cost and expense, upon request of any of the Lenders or the Managing Agents, promptly and duly execute and deliver any and all further instruments and documents and take such further action that may be necessary or desirable or that any of the Lenders, the Managing Agents or the Administrative Agent may request to (i) perfect, protect, preserve, continue and maintain fully the Liens granted to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties under this Agreement, (ii) enable the Lenders, the Managing Agents or the Administrative Agent to exercise and enforce its rights under this Agreement or any of the other Related Documents or (iii) otherwise carry out more effectively the provisions and purposes of this Agreement or any other Related Document. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower shall, upon request of any of the Lenders, the Managing Agents or the Administrative Agent, (A) execute and file such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto or assignments thereof, and such other instruments or notices that may be necessary or desirable or that any of the Lenders, the Managing Agents or the Administrative Agent may request to perfect, protect and preserve the Liens granted pursuant to this Agreement, free and clear of all Adverse Claims, (B) mark, or cause the Servicer to mark, each Contract evidencing each Transferred Receivable with a legend, acceptable to each Lender, the Managing Agents and the Administrative Agent evidencing that the Borrower has purchased such Transferred Receivables and that the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, has a security interest in and lien thereon, (C) mark, or cause the Servicer to mark, its master data processing

72


Confidential Treatment Requested

records evidencing such Transferred Receivables with such a legend and (D) notify or cause the Servicer to notify Obligors of the Liens on the Transferred Receivables granted hereunder.
(b)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower hereby authorizes the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, and each of the Lenders hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent, to file one or more financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto or assignments thereof, relating to all or any part of the Transferred Receivables, including Collections with respect thereto, or the Borrower Collateral without the signature of the Borrower or, as applicable, the Lenders, as applicable, to the extent permitted by applicable law. The Borrower hereby agrees that such financing statements may described “all assets in which the debtor now or hereafter has rights” as the Borrower Collateral in which the Administrative Agent has a grant of security hereunder. A carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement or of any notice or financing statement covering the Transferred Receivables, the Borrower Collateral or any part thereof shall be sufficient as a notice or financing statement where permitted by law.
Section 12.14.    No Proceedings. Each of Administrative Agent, each Managing Agent, each Administrator and each Lender agrees that, from and after the Closing Date and until the date one year plus one day following the Termination Date, it will not, directly or indirectly, institute or cause to be instituted against the Borrower any proceeding of the type referred to in Sections 8.01(d) and 8.01(e). This Section 12.14 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
Section 12.15.    Limitation on Payments. Notwithstanding any provision in any other section of this Agreement to the contrary, the obligation of the Borrower to pay any amounts payable to Lender or any other Affected Party pursuant to Sections 2.09, 2.10 and 10.01 of this Agreement shall be without recourse to the Borrower except as to any Collections and other amounts and/or proceeds of the Transferred Receivables (collectively, the “Available Amounts”) required to be distributed to the Lenders, to the extent that such amounts are available for distribution. In the event that amounts payable to a Lender or any other Affected Party pursuant to this Agreement exceed the Available Amounts, the excess of the amounts due hereunder over the Available Amounts paid shall not constitute a “claim” under Section 101(5) of the Bankruptcy Code against the Borrower until such time as the Borrower has Available Amounts. The foregoing shall not operate to limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any other Affected Party to enforce any claims of Borrower or its assigns against the Originators under the Sale Agreement or any other Related Document.
Section 12.16.    Limited Recourse. The obligations of the Secured Parties under this Agreement and all Related Documents are solely the corporate obligations of each such Secured Party. No recourse shall be had for the payment of any amount owing in respect of Advances or for the payment of any fee hereunder or any other obligation or claim arising out of or based upon this Agreement or any other Related Document against any Stockholder, employee, officer, director, agent or incorporator of such Secured Party. No Conduit Lender shall, nor shall be obligated to, pay any amount pursuant to the Related Documents unless such Conduit Lender has received funds which may be used to make such payment pursuant to such Conduit Lender’s commercial paper program documents. Any amount which such Conduit Lender does not pay pursuant to the operation of the preceding sentence shall not constitute a claim (as defined in Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code) against or an obligation of such Conduit Lender for any insufficiency unless and until such

73


Confidential Treatment Requested

Conduit Lender satisfies the provisions of such preceding sentence. This Section 12.16 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
Section 12.17.    Agreement Not to Petition. Each party hereto agrees, for the benefit of the holders of the privately or publicly placed indebtedness for borrowed money for any of the Discretionary Lenders, not, prior to the date which is one (1) year and one (1) day after the payment in full of all such indebtedness, to acquiesce, petition or otherwise, directly or indirectly, invoke, or cause such Discretionary Lender to invoke, the process of any Governmental Authority for the purpose of (a) commencing or sustaining a case against the such Discretionary Lender under any federal, provincial or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law (including any Debtor Relief Laws), (b) appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official for such Discretionary Lender, or any substantial part of its property, or (c) ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of such Discretionary Lender. The provisions of this Section 12.17 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
ARTICLE XIII
Section 13.01.    Extension of Final Advance Date; Non-Renewing Committed Lenders. Not more than ninety (90) days or less than seventy-five (75) days prior to the then current Final Advance Date, the Borrower may request an extension thereof for an additional period not to exceed 364 days. Each Committed Lender will deliver to the Borrower at least sixty (60) days prior to the then current Final Advance Date a non-binding indication of whether it intends to consent to such extension. Any failure of a Committed Lender to respond by the sixtieth day preceding such Final Advance Date shall constitute a refusal to consent to such an extension. If at any time the Borrower requests that the Committed Lenders renew their Commitments hereunder and some but less than all the Committed Lenders consent to such renewal, the Borrower may arrange for an assignment, and such non-consenting Committed Lenders shall agree to assign, to one or more financial institutions acceptable to the related Conduit Lender and the Borrower of all the rights and obligations hereunder of each such non-consenting Committed Lender in accordance with this Agreement. Any such assignment shall become effective on the then-current Final Advance Date. Each Committed Lender which does not so consent to any renewal shall cooperate fully with the Borrower in effectuating any such assignment. If none or less than all the Commitments of the non-renewing Committed Lenders are so assigned as provided above, then the Final Advance Date shall not be extended.
Section 13.02.    Replacement of Lender. Following a demand by the Administrative Agent or a Managing Agent (whether on behalf of a Lender (an “Affected Lender”), its related Program Support Provider or any other Affected Party in such Affected Lender’s Lender Group) for payment of any amounts under Section 2.09, the Borrower may elect to replace such Affected Lender as a Lender party to this Agreement with an assignee Lender procured by the Borrower, provided that no Incipient Termination Event or Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement; and provided further that, concurrently with such replacement, such assignee Lender shall agree to purchase for cash the Advances and all other rights of, and obligations due to, the Affected Lender hereunder pursuant to an Assignment Agreement and to become a Lender for all purposes under this Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Affected Lender to be terminated as of such date. Any such Affected Lender shall assign its rights

74


Confidential Treatment Requested

and interests hereunder, such assignment to be effected in compliance with the requirements of Section 12.02. In the event that such an assignment occurs, the assignee Lender (i) if requested by the applicable Administrator, shall execute (either directly or through a participation agreement, as determined by the Administrator) a Program Support Agreement related to the applicable Conduit Lender, to the extent of such assignment, the terms of which shall be substantially similar to those of the participation or other agreement by the assigning Affected Lender with respect to the applicable Program Support Agreement (or which shall be otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Administrator), it being understood that the assignee Lender shall not be required to execute a Program Support Agreement if its Lender Group does not include a Conduit Lender, and (ii) shall take such actions as the Administrative Agent and the Managing Agents shall reasonably request in connection therewith. For so long as the sum of the Commitments of any Affected Lenders under this Section 13.02 is equal to or less than 50% of the Aggregate Commitments, each such Affected Lender shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assign its rights and interests hereunder to any Person identified by the Borrower as a potential assignee Lender hereunder.

The date and amount of each Advance made by the Lender to the Borrower, the rates of interest applicable thereto and each payment made on account of the principal thereof, shall be recorded by the Administrative Agent on its books; provided that the failure of the Administrative Agent to make any such recordation shall not affect the obligations of the Borrower to make a payment when due of any amount owing under the Funding Agreement or this Revolving Note in respect of the Advances actually made by the Lender to the Borrower.
The principal amount of the indebtedness evidenced hereby shall be payable in the amounts and on the dates specified in the Funding Agreement, the terms of which are hereby incorporated herein by reference.

ARTICLE II
TRANSFERS OF RECEIVABLES
Section 2.01.     Agreement to Transfer.
(a)    Receivables Transfers. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Originator agrees to sell (without recourse except to the limited extent specifically provided herein) or, in the case of the Parent, sell or contribute, to Buyer on (x) with respect to Parent, the Effective Date and on each Business Day thereafter, (y) with respect to Hyve, November 29, 2014 and on each Business Day thereafter and (z) with respect to Synnex Canada, on the Synnex Canada Effective Date and on each Business Day thereafter (each such date, a “Transfer Date”) all Receivables owned by it on each such Transfer Date other than the Excluded Receivables, and Buyer agrees to purchase or acquire as a capital contribution all such Receivables on each such Transfer Date. All such Transfers by an Originator to Buyer shall collectively be evidenced by a certificate of assignment substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.01(a) (each, a “Receivables Assignment,” and collectively, the “Receivables Assignments”), and each Originator and Buyer shall have executed and delivered a Receivables Assignment on or before the initial Transfer Date on which such Originator first transferred Receivables to Buyer hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each Originator and the Buyer agree that no Receivables shall be transferred or contributed to the Buyer, and no Transfer Date shall occur, following receipt by the Administrative Agent or the Buyer of a notice of a “Stop Event” under and as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement referred to in clause (i) of the definition thereof.
(b)    Determination of Sold Receivables. On and as of each Transfer Date, (i) all Receivables other than the Excluded Receivables then owned by each Originator (other than the Parent) and not previously acquired by Buyer shall be sold immediately upon its creation, and (ii) to the extent Receivables then owned by the Parent other than the Excluded Receivables have not been contributed to Buyer in accordance with Section 2.01(d), such Receivables shall be sold to

2


Confidential Treatment Requested


Buyer (each such Receivable sold immediately upon its creation pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) above, individually, a “Sold Receivable” and, collectively, the “Sold Receivables”).
(c)    Payment of Sale Price. (i) In consideration for each Sale of Sold Receivables hereunder, Buyer shall pay to the Originator thereof on the Transfer Date therefor the applicable Sale Price therefor in (x) Dollars, with respect to Sold Receivables denominated in Dollars and (y) Canadian Dollars, with respect to Sold Receivables denominated in Canadian Dollars, in each case, in immediately available funds. All cash payments by Buyer under this Section 2.01(c)(i) shall be effected on the day when due by means of a wire transfer of same day funds to such account or accounts as the Originators may designate from time to time.
(ii)    To the extent that the Sale Price of Sold Receivables exceeds the amount of cash then available to Buyer, the applicable Originator hereby agrees to make a subordinated loan (each, a “Subordinated Loan”) to Buyer in an amount not to exceed the lesser of (A) the amount of such excess in satisfaction of the equivalent portion of the Sale Price not paid in cash and (B) the maximum Subordinated Loan that could be borrowed without rendering Buyer’s Net Worth less than the Required Capital Amount. The Subordinated Loans of an Originator shall be evidenced by a subordinated promissory note substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.01(c)(ii) (a “Subordinated Note”) executed by Buyer and payable to such Originator. The Subordinated Loans shall bear interest and be payable as provided in the Subordinated Note.
(d)    Determination of Contributed Receivables. Prior to the delivery of an Election Notice, on each Transfer Date on which Buyer cannot pay the Sale Price therefor in cash or with Subordinated Loans pursuant to clause (c) above, the Parent shall identify Receivables then owned by it which have not been previously acquired by Buyer other than the Excluded Receivables, and shall, prior to the delivery of an Election Notice, contribute such Receivables as a capital contribution to Buyer (each such contributed Receivable, individually, a “Contributed Receivable,” and collectively, the “Contributed Receivables”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parent shall not be obligated to make additional contributions to Buyer at any time. If on any Transfer Date (i) the Parent elects not to contribute Receivables (other than the Excluded Receivables) to Buyer when Buyer cannot pay the Sale Price therefor in cash or through Subordinated Loans, or (ii) any Originator (other than the Parent) does not sell all of its then owned Receivables to Buyer other than the Excluded Receivables, such Originator shall deliver to Buyer not later than 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Business Day immediately preceding such Transfer Date a notice of election thereof (each such notice, an “Election Notice”).
(e)    Ownership of Transferred Receivables. On and after each Transfer Date and after giving effect to the Transfers to be made on each such date, Buyer shall own the Transferred Receivables and no Originator shall take any action inconsistent with such ownership nor shall any Originator claim any ownership interest in such Transferred Receivables. The Excluded Receivables shall not be transferred hereunder or otherwise constitute “Sold Receivables”, “Contributed Receivables” or “Transferred Receivables” hereunder or under the Related Documents.
(f)    Reconstruction of General Trial Balance. If at any time any Originator fails to generate its General Trial Balance, Buyer shall have the right to reconstruct such General Trial

3


Confidential Treatment Requested


Balance so that a determination of the Transferred Receivables can be made pursuant to Section 2.01(b). Each Originator agrees to cooperate with such reconstruction, including by delivery to Buyer, upon Buyer’s request, of copies of all Records.
(g)    Servicing of Receivables. So long as no Event of Servicer Termination shall have occurred and be continuing and no Successor Servicer has assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Servicer pursuant to Section 9.02, the Servicer shall (i) conduct the servicing, administration and collection of the Transferred Receivables and shall take, or cause to be taken, all such actions as may be necessary or advisable to service, administer and collect the Transferred Receivables, all in accordance with (A) the terms of this Agreement, (B) customary and prudent servicing procedures for trade receivables of a similar type and (C) all applicable laws, rules and regulations, and (ii) hold all Contracts and other documents and incidents relating to the Transferred Receivables in trust for the benefit of Buyer, as the owner thereof, and for the sole purpose of facilitating the servicing of the Transferred Receivables in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Buyer hereby instructs the Servicer, and the Servicer hereby acknowledges, that the Servicer shall hold all Contracts and other documents relating to such Transferred Receivables in trust for the benefit of Buyer and the Servicer’s retention and possession of such Contracts and documents shall at all times be solely in a custodial capacity for the benefit of Buyer and its assigns and pledgees.
Section 2.02.     Grant of Security Interest.
(a)    The parties hereto intend that each Transfer shall be absolute and shall constitute a purchase and sale or capital contribution, as applicable, and not a loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in addition to and not in derogation of any rights now or hereafter acquired by Buyer under Section 2.01, the parties hereto intend that this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law and if a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any transaction provided for herein constitutes a loan and not a sale or capital contribution, as applicable, that each Originator shall be deemed to have granted, and each Originator does hereby grant, to Buyer a continuing security interest in all of such Originator’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Transferred Receivables whether now owned or hereafter acquired by such Originator to secure the obligations of such Originator to Buyer hereunder (including, if and to the extent that any Transfer is recharacterized as a transfer for security under applicable law, the repayment of a loan deemed to have been made by Buyer to the applicable Originator in the amount of the Sale Price with respect thereto, including interest thereon at the Base Rate). Each Originator hereto reconfirms its grant of a security interest to Buyer of a first priority Lien in and to all of such Originator’s right, title and interest in, to and under the “Transferred Receivables” under, and as defined in, the Existing Transfer Agreement. This Section 2.02(a) shall not be deemed to cause any Originator formed under the provincial or federal laws of Canada to grant a security interest in the Transferred Receivables to the Buyer under Canadian law other than the interest of the Buyer as assignee of the Transferred Receivables.
(b)    Each Originator hereby grants, assigns, conveys, pledges, hypothecates and transfers to Buyer a Lien upon and security interest in all of such Originator’s right, title and interest in, to and under, but none of its obligations arising from, (i) the Originator Collection Accounts, the related Lockboxes and all funds on deposit therein and all certificates and instruments, if any, from time

4


Confidential Treatment Requested


to time representing or evidencing such Account, such Lockboxes or such funds, (ii) all interest, dividends, cash, instruments, investment property and other property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed with respect to or in exchange for such Accounts, such Lockboxes or such funds on deposit therein, and (iii) all proceeds and products of the foregoing and all accessions to, substitutions and replacements for, and profits of, such Accounts, such Lockboxes and such funds on deposit therein, in each case, whether now owned by or owing to, or hereafter acquired by or arising in favor of, such Originator (including under any trade names styles or derivations of such Originator) and regardless of where located. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Section 2.02(b) shall not apply to Synnex Canada or any Originator Collection Account prior to the Synnex Canada Effective Date.
Section 2.03.     Originator Support Agreement. The Parent hereby agrees that in the event that any of its Affiliates become parties to this Agreement as Originators, the Parent shall undertake and agree, to and for the benefit of Buyer, to cause the due and punctual performance and observance by each such Originator of all of the terms, conditions, agreements and undertakings on the part of such Originator to be performed or observed by it hereunder or under any other Related Document and, in connection therewith, shall execute and deliver to Buyer an Originator Support Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 2.03, to more fully evidence such undertaking.
Section 2.04.     Originators Remain Liable. It is expressly agreed by the Originators that, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Originator shall remain liable to the Obligor (and any other party to the related Contract) under any and all of the Transferred Receivables originated by it and under the Contracts therefor to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder. Buyer shall not have any obligation or liability to the Obligor or any other party to the related Contract under any such Transferred Receivables or Contracts by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the granting herein of a Lien thereon or the receipt by Buyer of any payment relating thereto pursuant hereto. The exercise by Buyer of any of its rights under this Agreement shall not release any Originator from any of its respective duties or obligations under any such Transferred Receivables or Contracts. Buyer shall not be required or obligated in any manner to perform or fulfill any of the obligations of any Originator under or pursuant to any such Transferred Receivable or Contract, or to make any payment, or to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or the sufficiency of any performance by any party under any such Transferred Receivable or Contract, or to present or file any claims, or to take any action to collect or enforce any performance or the payment of any amounts that may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time.

Except as otherwise provided herein, whenever it is provided herein that any notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or other communication shall or may be given to or served upon any of the parties by any other parties, or whenever any of the parties desires to give or serve upon any other parties any communication with respect to this Agreement, each such notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or other communication shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been validly served, given or delivered (a) upon the earlier of actual receipt and three Business Days after deposit in the United States Mail, registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, with proper postage prepaid, (b) upon transmission, when sent by email of the signed notice in PDF form or facsimile transmission (with such email or facsimile promptly confirmed by delivery of a copy by personal delivery or United States Mail as otherwise provided in this Section 6.01), (c) one Business Day after deposit with a reputable overnight courier with all charges prepaid or (d) when delivered, if hand‑delivered by messenger, all of which shall be addressed to the party to be notified and sent to the address or facsimile number set forth in Schedule 6.01 attached hereto or to such other address (or facsimile number) as may be substituted by notice given as herein provided. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all notices to be provided to Buyer hereunder shall be delivered to both Buyer and the Administrative Agent under the Funding Agreement, and shall be effective only upon such delivery to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of the Funding Agreement. The giving of any notice required hereunder may be waived in writing by the party entitled to receive such notice. Failure or delay in delivering copies of any notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or other communication to any Person (other than Buyer) designated in any written communication provided hereunder to receive copies shall in no way adversely affect the effectiveness of such notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or other communication. Notwithstanding the foregoing, whenever it is provided herein that a notice is to

be given to any other party hereto by a specific time, such notice shall only be effective if actually received by such party prior to such time, and if such notice is received after such time or on a day other than a Business Day, such notice shall only be effective on the immediately succeeding Business Day.
Section 6.02.     No Waiver; Remedies. Buyer’s failure, at any time or times, to require strict performance by the Originators of any provision of this Agreement or any Receivables Assignment shall not waive, affect or diminish any right of Buyer thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance herewith or therewith. Any suspension or waiver of any breach or default hereunder shall not suspend, waive or affect any other breach or default whether the same is prior or subsequent thereto and whether the same or of a different type. None of the undertakings, agreements, warranties, covenants and representations of any Originator contained in this Agreement or any Receivables Assignment, and no breach or default by any Originator hereunder or thereunder, shall be deemed to have been suspended or waived by Buyer unless such waiver or suspension is by an instrument in writing signed by an officer of or other duly authorized signatory of Buyer and directed to such Originator specifying such suspension or waiver. Buyer shall not waive any of the provisions set forth in Section 4.01(x) or Section 4.02(n) if such waiver would adversely affect the Ratings. Buyer’s rights and remedies under this Agreement shall be cumulative and nonexclusive of any other rights and remedies that Buyer may have under any other agreement, including the other Related Documents, by operation of law or otherwise. Recourse to the Transferred Receivables shall not be required.
Section 6.03.     Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of each Originator, Servicer and Buyer and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except as otherwise provided herein. No Originator nor the Servicer may assign, transfer, hypothecate or otherwise convey its rights, benefits, obligations or duties hereunder without the prior express written consent of Buyer. Any such purported assignment, transfer, hypothecation or other conveyance by any Originator or the Servicer without the prior express written consent of Buyer shall be void. Each Originator and the Servicer acknowledges that Buyer may collaterally assign (and has collaterally assigned) all of its rights granted hereunder to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) under the Funding Agreement, including the benefit of any indemnities under Article V, and the Administrative Agent shall have all rights of Buyer hereunder and, to the extent permitted under the Funding Agreement, may in turn assign such rights. Each Originator and the Servicer acknowledges and agrees that until the Termination Date under the Funding Agreement, (i) no consent or approval by Buyer hereunder nor any delivery of a Servicer Termination Notice hereunder shall be effective without the written consent and approval of the Administrative Agent, (ii) each determination specified to be made by Buyer hereunder may be made by the Administrative Agent, and (iii) the Administrative Agent may enforce directly, without joinder of Buyer, all of Buyer’s rights set forth in this Agreement, including, without limitation, Sections 4.02(b), 4.02(c), 4.04, 6.13, 7.03(f), 7.03(h), 7.03(i), 7.03(j), 7.03(k), 8.01 and 9.02. All such assignees, including parties to the Funding Agreement in the case of any assignment to such parties, shall be third party beneficiaries of, and shall be entitled to enforce Buyer’s rights and remedies under, this Agreement to the same extent as Buyer or any of its designated representatives may do. The terms and provisions of this Agreement are for the purpose of defining the relative rights and obligations of each Originator, the Servicer and Buyer with respect to the transactions

(a)    This Agreement shall create and constitute the continuing obligations of the parties hereto in accordance with its terms, and shall remain in full force and effect until the Termination Date.
(b)    Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in any other Related Document, no termination or cancellation (regardless of cause or procedure) of any commitment made by Buyer under this Agreement shall in any way affect or impair the obligations, duties and liabilities of any Originator or the rights of Buyer relating to any unpaid portion of any and all recourse and indemnity obligations of such Originator to Buyer, including those set forth in Sections 4.04, 5.01, 6.12, 6.14 and 6.15, whether due or not due, liquidated, contingent or unliquidated or any transaction or event occurring prior to such termination, or any transaction or event, the performance of which is required after the Facility Termination Date. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in any other Related Document, all undertakings, agreements, covenants, warranties and representations of or binding upon each Originator, and all rights of Buyer hereunder, all as contained in the Related Documents, shall not terminate or expire, but rather shall survive any such termination or cancellation and shall continue in full force and effect until the Termination Date; provided that the rights and remedies set forth in Section 4.04, the indemnification and payment provisions of Article V, and the provisions of Sections 4.03(j), 6.03, 6.12 and 6.14 shall be continuing and shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
Section 6.05.     Complete Agreement; Modification of Agreement.

Section 6.06.     Amendments and Waivers. No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Related Documents, or any consent to any departure by any Originator therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by each of the parties hereto; provided that prior to the Termination Date, no amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Related Documents, or any consent to any departure by any Originator therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent.

VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE, BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (INCLUDING SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW BUT OTHERWISE WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES), EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT THE PERFECTION, EFFECT OF PERFECTION OR PRIORITY OF THE INTERESTS OF BUYER IN THE RECEIVABLES OR REMEDIES HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER, IN RESPECT THEREOF, ARE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF A JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF NEW YORK, AND ANY APPLICABLE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
(b)    EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY CONSENTS AND AGREES THAT THE STATE OR FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN IN NEW YORK CITY SHALL HAVE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION TO HEAR AND DETERMINE ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES BETWEEN THEM PERTAINING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR TO ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY RELATED DOCUMENT; PROVIDED THAT EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY APPEALS FROM THOSE COURTS MAY HAVE TO BE HEARD BY A COURT LOCATED OUTSIDE OF THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN IN NEW YORK CITY; PROVIDED FURTHER THAT NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED OR OPERATE TO PRECLUDE BUYER FROM BRINGING SUIT OR TAKING OTHER LEGAL ACTION IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION TO REALIZE ON THE RECEIVABLES OR ANY OTHER SECURITY FOR THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE ORIGINATORS ARISING HEREUNDER, OR TO ENFORCE A JUDGMENT OR OTHER COURT ORDER IN FAVOR OF BUYER. EACH PARTY HERETO SUBMITS AND CONSENTS IN ADVANCE TO SUCH JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION OR SUIT COMMENCED IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE BASED UPON LACK OF PERSONAL JURISDICTION, IMPROPER VENUE OR FORUM NON CONVENIENS AND HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE GRANTING OF SUCH LEGAL OR EQUITABLE RELIEF AS IS DEEMED APPROPRIATE BY SUCH COURT. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF THE SUMMONS, COMPLAINT AND OTHER PROCESS ISSUED IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR SUIT AND AGREES THAT SERVICE OF SUCH SUMMONS, COMPLAINT AND OTHER PROCESS MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL ADDRESSED TO SUCH PARTY AT THE ADDRESS SET FORTH IN SECTION 6.01 AND THAT SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE DEEMED COMPLETED UPON THE EARLIER OF SUCH PARTY’S ACTUAL RECEIPT THEREOF OR THREE DAYS AFTER DEPOSIT IN THE UNITED STATES MAIL, PROPER POSTAGE PREPAID. NOTHING IN THIS SECTION SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO SERVE LEGAL PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW.
(c)    BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH COMPLEX FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED BY AN EXPERIENCED AND EXPERT PERSON AND THE PARTIES WISH APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS TO APPLY (RATHER THAN ARBITRATION RULES), THE PARTIES DESIRE THAT THEIR DISPUTES BE

Section 6.09.     Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

(b)    Each Originator and the Servicer agrees that it shall not (and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to) issue any news release or make any public announcement pertaining to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Related Documents without the prior written consent of Buyer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) unless such news release or public announcement is required by law, in which case such Originator or the Servicer shall consult with Buyer prior to the issuance of such news release or public announcement.

Originator has any rights not heretofore assigned, and (ii) filing any financing or continuation statements under the UCC or PPSA with respect to the ownership interests or Liens granted hereunder or under any other Related Document. Each Originator hereby authorizes Buyer to file any such financing or continuation statements without the signature of such Originator to the extent permitted by applicable law. A carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement or of any notice or financing statement covering the Transferred Receivables or any part thereof shall be sufficient as a notice or financing statement where permitted by law. If any amount payable under or in connection with any of the Transferred Receivables is or shall become evidenced by any instrument, such instrument, other than checks and notes received in the ordinary course of business, shall be duly endorsed in a manner satisfactory to Buyer immediately upon such Originator’s receipt thereof and promptly delivered to Buyer.
(b)    If any Originator fails to perform any agreement or obligation under this Section 6.13, Buyer may (but shall not be required to) itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement or obligation, and the reasonable expenses of Buyer incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by such Originator upon demand of Buyer.

Section 7.03.     Collections on Receivables.
(a)    In the event that the Servicer is unable to determine the specific Transferred Receivables on which Collections have been received from the Obligor thereunder, the parties agree that such Collections shall be deemed to have been received on such Receivables in the order in which they were originated with respect to such Obligor. In the event that the Servicer is unable to determine the specific Transferred Receivables on which discounts, offsets or other non-cash reductions have been granted or made with respect to the Obligor thereunder, the parties agree for purposes of this Agreement only that such reductions shall be deemed to have been granted or made (i) prior to a Termination Event, on such Receivables as determined by the Servicer, and (ii) from and after the occurrence of a Termination Event, in the reverse order in which they were originated with respect to such Obligor.
(b)    If the Servicer determines that amounts unrelated to the Transferred Receivables (the “Unrelated Amounts”) have been deposited in any Account, then the Servicer shall provide written evidence thereof to Buyer no later than the first Business Day following the day on which the Servicer had actual knowledge thereof, which evidence shall be provided in writing and shall be otherwise satisfactory to Buyer.
(c)    Authorization of the Servicer. Buyer hereby authorizes the Servicer to take any and all reasonable steps in its name and on its behalf necessary or desirable and not inconsistent with the rights of Buyer hereunder, in the determination of the Servicer, to (a) collect all amounts due under any Transferred Receivable, including endorsing the applicable name on checks and other instruments representing Collections on such Receivable, and execute and deliver any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation or of partial or full release or discharge and all other comparable instruments with respect to any such Receivable and (b) after any Transferred Receivable becomes a Delinquent Receivable or a Defaulted Receivable and to the extent permitted under and in compliance with applicable law and regulations, commence proceedings with respect to the enforcement of payment of any such Receivable and the Contract therefor and adjust, settle or compromise any payments due thereunder, in each case to the same extent as the applicable Originator could have done if it had continued to own such Receivable. Buyer shall furnish the Servicer with any powers of attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Buyer shall have the absolute and unlimited right to direct the Servicer (at the Servicer’s expense) (i) to commence or settle any legal action to enforce collection of any Transferred Receivable or (ii) to foreclose upon, repossess or take any other action that Buyer deems necessary or advisable with respect thereto. In no event shall the Servicer be entitled to make Buyer or any Affected Party a party to any Litigation without Buyer’s or such Affected Party’s express prior written consent.

As compensation for its servicing activities and as reimbursement for its reasonable expenses in connection therewith, the Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Servicing Fees monthly on each Settlement Date.

The Servicer agrees to render to Buyer, at the Servicer’s own cost and expense, such clerical and other assistance as may be reasonably requested with regard to the foregoing, it being understood that the Servicer shall be required to comply with a request under this Section 7.03(i) only to the extent such request is reasonably related to the transactions contemplated by the Related Documents and to the Transferred Receivables.
(j)    Collection of Transferred Receivables. In connection with the collection of amounts due or to become due under the Transferred Receivables, the Borrower Assigned Agreements and any other Borrower Collateral, the Servicer shall take such action as it, and from and after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Termination Event, Buyer may deem necessary or desirable to enforce collection of the Transferred Receivables, the Borrower Assigned Agreements and the other Borrower Collateral; provided that the applicable Originator may, rather than commencing any such action or taking any other enforcement action, at its option, elect to pay to Buyer, for deposit into the Agent Account, an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of the Outstanding Balance of any such Transferred Receivable. If (i) an Incipient Termination Event or a Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing or (ii) Buyer in good faith believes that an Incipient Termination Event or a Termination Event is imminent, then Buyer may, without prior notice to any Originator or the Servicer, (x) exercise its right to take exclusive ownership and control of (1) the Collections, the Collection Accounts and the Concentration Accounts in accordance with the terms of the applicable Collection Account Agreement or Concentration Account Agreement, as applicable, and (2) the Borrower Account in accordance with the Borrower Account Agreement (in which case the Servicer shall be required to deposit any Collections it then has in its possession or at any time thereafter receives, immediately in the relevant Concentration Account) and (y) notify any Obligor under any Transferred Receivable or obligors under the Borrower Assigned Agreements of the sale to Buyer of such Transferred Receivables and of the pledge of such Transferred Receivables or Borrower Assigned Agreements, as the case may be, to the Administrative Agent and direct that payments of all amounts due or to become due to Buyer thereunder be made directly to Buyer or any servicer, collection agent or Account designated by Buyer and Buyer may enforce collection of any such Transferred Receivable or the Borrower Assigned Agreements and adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof. Buyer shall provide prompt notice to the Servicer of any such notification of assignment, pledge or direction of payment to the Obligors under any Transferred Receivables.

Unless expressly prohibited by the licensor thereof or any provision of applicable law, if any, the Servicer hereby grants to Buyer (and to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties as assignee of Buyer) a limited license to use, without charge, the Servicer’s computer programs, software, printouts and other computer materials, technical knowledge or processes, data bases, materials, trademarks, registered trademarks, trademark applications, service marks, registered service marks, service mark applications, patents, patent applications, trade names, rights of use of any name, labels, fictitious names, inventions, designs, trade secrets, goodwill, registrations, copyrights, copyright applications, permits, licenses, franchises, customer lists, credit files, correspondence, and advertising materials or any property of a similar nature, as it pertains to the Transferred Receivables and the other Borrower Collateral, or any rights to any of the foregoing, only as reasonably required in connection with the collection of the Transferred Receivables and the advertising for sale, and selling any of the Borrower Collateral, or exercising of any other remedies with respect thereto, and the Servicer agrees that its rights under all licenses and franchise agreements shall inure to Buyer (and to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties as assignee of Buyer) for purposes of the license granted herein. Except upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Termination Event, Buyer agrees not to use (and shall cause the Administrative Agent to covenant not to use) any such license without giving the Servicer prior written notice.
(m)    Deposit of Collections. The Servicer shall (and shall cause each of its Affiliates to) (i) instruct all Obligors to remit all payments with respect to any Transferred Receivables directly into the relevant Lockbox, the relevant Collection Account or the relevant Concentration Account, and (ii) deposit or cause to be deposited promptly into the relevant Lockbox, the relevant Collection Account or the relevant Concentration Account, and in any event no later than the first Business Day after receipt thereof, all Collections it may receive in respect of Transferred Receivables (and until so deposited, all such Collections shall be held in trust for the benefit of Buyer and its assigns (including the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties)). The Servicer shall not make or permit to be made deposits into any Lockbox, any Collection Account or any Concentration Account other than in accordance with this Agreement and the other Related Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer shall ensure that no Collections or other proceeds with respect to a Receivable reconveyed to any Originator pursuant to Section 4.04 are paid or deposited into any Lockbox, any Collection Account or any Concentration Account. The Servicer shall (and shall cause each of its Affiliates to) endorse, to the extent necessary, all checks or other instruments received in any Lockbox so that the same can be deposited into the relevant Collection Account or the relevant Concentration Account, in the form so received (with all necessary endorsements), on the first Business Day after the date of receipt thereof. In addition, the Servicer shall (and shall cause each of its Affiliates to) deposit or cause to be deposited into the relevant Concentration Account all cash, checks, money orders or other proceeds of Transferred Receivables or Borrower

The Servicer shall direct all Obligors of Transferred Receivables originated by Synnex Canada to remit all payments with respect to such Receivables for deposit in the relevant Concentration Account prior to the Canadian Originator Account Deadline. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this clause (m) shall not apply to Synnex Canada or any Originator Collection Account prior to the Synnex Canada Effective Date.
(n)    Commingling. The Servicer shall not (and shall cause each other member of the Parent Group not to) deposit or permit the deposit of any funds that do not constitute Collections of Transferred Receivables into any Lockbox, any Collection Account or any Concentration Account except as otherwise permitted by Section 4.03(m). If any funds not constituting Collections of Transferred Receivables are nonetheless impermissibly deposited into any Lockbox, any Collection Account or any Concentration Account and the Servicer so notifies Buyer, Buyer shall promptly remit any such amounts to the applicable Originator. So long as any Transferred Receivables of an Obligor remain unpaid, the Servicer shall not instruct such Obligor to remit Collections of any Receivables other than Excluded Receivables to any Person or account other than to the relevant Lockbox, the relevant Collection Account or the relevant Concentration Account.
(o)    Separate Identity. The Servicer shall comply with Section 4.02(i) to the same extent as if it were an Originator.
(p)    Anti-Corruption Laws, Anti-Terrorism Laws and Sanctions. Policies and procedures will be maintained and enforced by or on behalf of the Servicer that are designed in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner to promote and achieve compliance, in the reasonable judgment of the Servicer, by the Servicer and each of its Subsidiaries and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents with Anti-Corruption Laws, Anti-Terrorism Laws and applicable Sanctions, in each case giving due regard to the nature of such Person’s business and activities.

Any such determination shall (i) with respect to clause (a) above, be evidenced by an opinion of counsel to such effect and (ii) with respect to clause (b) above, be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate to such effect, in each case delivered to the Administrative Agent. No such resignation shall become effective until a Successor Servicer shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Servicer in accordance with Section 9.02.
Section 9.02.     Appointment of the Successor Servicer. In connection with the termination of the Servicer’s responsibilities or the resignation by the Servicer under this Agreement pursuant to Sections 8.01 or 9.01, Buyer may at any time appoint a successor servicer to the Servicer that shall be acceptable to the Administrative Agent and shall succeed to all rights and assume all of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the Servicer under this Agreement (the Administrative Agent, in such capacity, or such successor servicer being referred to as the “Successor Servicer”); provided that the Successor Servicer shall have no responsibility for any actions of the Servicer prior to the date of its appointment or assumption of duties as Successor Servicer. In selecting a Successor Servicer, Buyer may (but shall not be required to) obtain bids from any potential Successor Servicer and may agree to any bid it deems appropriate. The Successor Servicer shall accept its appointment by executing, acknowledging and delivering to Buyer an instrument in form and substance acceptable to Buyer and the Administrative Agent.
Section 9.03.     Duties of the Servicer. The Servicer covenants and agrees that, following the appointment of, or assumption of duties by, a Successor Servicer:

All reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with transferring all files and other documents in respect of the Transferred Receivables to the Successor Servicer shall be for the account of the predecessor Servicer.

(b)    The Servicer shall terminate each existing Sub-Servicing Agreement and the Successor Servicer shall not be deemed to have assumed any of the Servicer’s interests therein or to have replaced the Servicer as a party thereto.
(c)    In the event that the Servicer is terminated as Servicer hereunder but no Successor Servicer has been appointed, the Servicer shall timely deliver to the Administrative Agent or its designee, at a place designated by the Administrative Agent or such designee, all Servicing Records and other information with respect to the Transferred Receivables which otherwise would be required to be delivered to the Successor Servicer under Section 9.03(a) above, and all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with transferring such files and other documents to the Administrative Agent shall be for the account of the predecessor Servicer.
Section 9.04.     Effect of Termination or Resignation. Any termination of or resignation by the Servicer hereunder shall not affect any claims that Buyer or its assigns may have against the Servicer for events or actions taken or not taken by the Servicer arising prior to any such termination or resignation.
Section 9.05.     Power of Attorney. On the 2016 Effective Date, the Servicer shall execute and deliver a power of attorney in substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 9.05 (a “Power of Attorney”). The Power of Attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until this Agreement has terminated in accordance with its terms and all of the Transferred Receivables have been indefeasibly paid or otherwise written off as uncollectible. The powers conferred under the Power of Attorney are solely to protect the interests of Buyer and its assigns (including the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties) in the Transferred Receivables and the ability of the Successor Servicer to assume the servicing rights, powers and responsibilities of the Servicer hereunder and shall not impose any duty upon the Administrative Agent or the Successor Servicer to exercise any such powers. The Administrative Agent covenants and agrees not to use the Power of Attorney except following a Termination Event and prior to the occurrence of the Termination Date.
Section 9.06.     No Proceedings. Each Originator and Servicer agrees that, from and after the Closing Date and until the date one year plus one day following the Termination Date, it will not, directly or indirectly, institute or cause to be instituted against Buyer any proceeding of the type referred to in Sections 8.01(d) and 8.01(e) of the Funding Agreement. This Section 9.06 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
Section 9.07.     Interest Act (Canada) Disclosure. For the purposes of disclosure pursuant to the Interest Act (Canada) and not for any other purpose, whenever interest, a discount rate or a rate at which a fee is to be calculated hereunder is to be paid or calculated hereunder on the basis of a period other than a calendar year, the yearly rate of interest, discount rate or fee to which the rate determined pursuant to such calculation is equivalent is the rate so determined multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the same is to be ascertained and divided by the number of days in the period in respect of which the calculation is being made.

Section 9.08.     Judgment Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining or enforcing judgment against Synnex Canada in any court in any jurisdiction with respect to this Agreement, it becomes necessary to convert into a particular currency (the “Judgment Currency”) any amount due under this Agreement in any currency other than the Judgment Currency (the “Currency Due”), then conversion shall be made at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Business Day before the day on which judgment is given. In this Section “rate of exchange” means the rate at which the Buyer is able, on the relevant date, to purchase the Currency Due with the Judgment Currency. In the event that there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between such Business Day and the date of receipt by Buyer of the amount due, Synnex Canada will, on the date of receipt by Buyer, pay Buyer such additional amount, if any, or be entitled to receive reimbursement of such amount, if any, as may be necessary to ensure that the amount received by Buyer on such date is the amount in the Judgment Currency which when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of receipt by it is the amount then due under this Agreement or any other Related Document in the Currency Due. If the amount of the Currency Due which Buyer is so able to purchase is less than the amount of the Currency Due originally due to it, Synnex Canada shall indemnify and save Buyer harmless from and against all loss or damage arising as a result of such deficiency. This indemnity shall constitute an obligation separate and independent from the other obligations contained in this Agreement, and shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action, shall apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by Buyer from time to time and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any judgment or order for a liquidated sum in respect of an amount due under this Agreement or under any judgment or order.

Form of
SUBORDINATED NOTE
[[$/C$]__________]    [______ __, ____]
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, SIT FUNDING CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to the order of [___________________], a (the “Subordinated Lender”), or its assigns, at [ADDRESS], or at such other place as the holder of this Subordinated Note (“Note”) may designate from time to time in writing, in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds, the principal amount of [_____] [CANADIAN] DOLLARS [[$/C$]_____], or, if less, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Subordinated Loans (as defined in the Sale Agreement referred to below) made to the Borrower, upon the earlier to occur of (i) Final Advance Date and (ii) the Termination Date (in each case, as defined in Annex X to the Sale Agreement referred to below), together with interest thereon from time to time from the Effective Date (as defined in the Sale Agreement referred to below) at the rate shown in The Wall Street Journal as the “Prime Rate” on such date (the “Interest Rate”) on the unpaid principal amount of each Subordinated Loan for the period commencing on and including the date of such Subordinated Loan to but excluding the date such Subordinated Loan is paid in full.
The date, amount and interest rate of each Subordinated Loan made by the Subordinated Lender to the Borrower, and each payment made by or on behalf of the Borrower on account of the principal thereof, shall be recorded by the Subordinated Lender on its books and, prior to any transfer of this Note, endorsed by the Subordinated Lender on the schedule attached hereto or any continuation thereof. The books of the Subordinated Lender and such schedule shall be presumptive evidence of the amounts due and owing to the Subordinated Lender by the Borrower; provided that any failure of the Subordinated Lender to record a notation in its books or on the schedule to this Note as aforesaid or any error in so recording shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay Subordinated Loans in accordance with their respective terms set forth herein.
All capitalized terms, unless otherwise defined herein, shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Third Amended and Restated Receivables Sale and Servicing Agreement, dated as of January 23, 2009 (as the same may be subsequently amended, restated or otherwise modified, the “Sale Agreement”) by and among the Borrower, the Subordinated Lender, the other Originators thereunder and SYNNEX Corporation. This Note is issued pursuant to the Sale Agreement and is one of the Subordinated Notes referred to therein. All of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Sale Agreement and all other instruments evidencing the indebtedness hereunder, including the other Related Documents, are hereby made a part of this Note and are deemed incorporated herein in full.

Receivables Sale and Servicing Agreement


Confidential Treatment Requested


The Borrower may at any time and from time to time voluntarily repay, in whole or in part, all Subordinated Loans made hereunder. Any amount so repaid may, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, be reborrowed hereunder; provided that all repayments of Subordinated Loans or any portion thereof shall be made together with payment of all interest accrued on the amount repaid to (but excluding) the date of such repayment.
Interest shall be payable on the outstanding principal amount of this Note from time to time in arrears on the first Business Day of each calendar month. All computations of interest shall be made by the Subordinated Lender on the basis of a 365 day year, in each case for the actual number of days occurring in the period for which such interest is payable. The Interest Rate shall be determined (i) on the first Business Day immediately prior to the Effective Date for calculation of the Interest Rate for the period from the Effective Date through the end of the first calendar month following the Effective Date, and (ii) as of the last Business Day of each month for use in calculating the interest that is payable for the following calendar month, and the Interest Rate so determined shall be utilized for such calendar month. Each determination by the Subordinated Lender of an interest rate hereunder shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Borrower (absent manifest error). The Borrower shall pay interest at the applicable Interest Rate on unpaid interest on any Subordinated Loan or any installment thereof, and on any other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder (to the extent permitted by law) that shall not be paid in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) for the period commencing on the due date thereof to (but excluding) the date the same is indefeasibly paid in full.
If any payment or prepayment on this Note becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the Interest Rate during such extension.
As set forth below, the indebtedness evidenced by this Subordinated Note is subordinate in right of payment to all Borrower Obligations and all renewals, extensions, refinancings or refundings of any such obligations (whether for principal, interest (including but not limited to interest accruing after the filing of a petition initiating any bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership proceeding (each, an “Insolvency Proceeding”) whether or not such interest is allowed in such Insolvency Proceeding), fees, indemnities, repurchase price, expenses or otherwise) (collectively, the “Senior Obligations”). The subordination provisions contained herein are for the direct benefit of, and may be enforced by, any holder of a Senior Obligation, and may not be terminated, amended or otherwise revoked until the Senior Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash and the Related Documents terminated in accordance with their respective terms. This Subordinated Note shall not be subject to any defense or any rights of set-off, including on account of any past or present debt. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Termination Event or Incipient Termination Event, the Subordinated Lender shall not demand, accelerate, sue for, take, receive or accept from the Borrower, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or any other manner (including, without limitation, from or by way of collateral) any payment of or security for all or any part of the indebtedness under this Subordinated Note or exercise any remedies or take any action or proceeding to enforce the same. The Subordinated Lender hereby agrees that prior to the date that is one year and one day after all of

Receivables Sale and Servicing Agreement
Exhibit 2.01(c)(ii)-2

the Senior Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash and the Related Documents terminated in accordance with their respective terms, the Subordinated Lender will not take any action to institute any Insolvency Proceeding in respect of the Borrower or which would be reasonably likely to cause the Borrower to be subject to, or seek the protection of, any such Insolvency Proceeding.
If the Borrower becomes subject to any Insolvency Proceeding, then the holders of the Senior Obligations shall receive payment in full of all amounts due or to become due on or with respect to the Senior Obligations before the Subordinated Lender shall be entitled to receive any payment on account of this Subordinated Note. Accordingly, any payment or distribution of assets of the Borrower of any kind or character, whether in cash, securities or other property, in any applicable Insolvency Proceeding, that would otherwise be payable to or deliverable upon or with respect to any or all indebtedness under this Subordinated Note, is hereby assigned to and shall be paid or delivered by the person making such payment or delivery (whether a trustee in bankruptcy, a receiver, custodian or liquidating trustee or otherwise) directly to the Administrative Agent for application to, or as collateral for the payment of, the Senior Obligations until such Senior Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash.
In no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of advancement of the proceeds hereof or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to Subordinated Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of money advanced hereunder exceed the highest rate of interest permissible under law (the “Maximum Lawful Rate”). In the event that a court of competent jurisdiction determines that Subordinated Lender has charged or received interest hereunder in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate, the amount of interest payable hereunder shall be equal to the amount payable under the Maximum Lawful Rate; provided that if at any time thereafter the amount of interest payable to Subordinated Lender hereunder is less than the amount payable under the Maximum Lawful Rate, the Borrower shall continue to pay interest hereunder at the Maximum Lawful Rate until such time as the total interest received by Subordinated Lender from the making of Subordinated Loans hereunder is equal to the total interest that Subordinated Lender would have received had the amount of interest payable to Subordinated Lender hereunder been (but for the operation of this paragraph) the amount of interest payable from the Effective Date. Thereafter, the amount of interest payable hereunder shall be the amount determined in accordance with the terms hereof unless and until the amount so calculated again exceeds the amount payable under the Maximum Lawful Rate, in which event this paragraph shall again apply. In no event shall the total interest received by Subordinated Lender pursuant to the terms hereof exceed the amount that Lender could lawfully have received had the interest due hereunder been calculated for the full term hereof at the Maximum Lawful Rate. In the event the amount payable under the Maximum Lawful Rate is calculated pursuant to this paragraph, such interest shall be calculated at a daily rate equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate divided by the number of days in the year in which such calculation is made. In the event that a court of competent jurisdiction, notwithstanding the provisions of this Note, shall make a final determination that Subordinated Lender has received interest hereunder in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate, Subordinated Lender shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, promptly apply such excess first to any interest due and not yet paid hereunder, then to the outstanding principal amount of the Subordinated Loans, then to fees and any other unpaid charges, and thereafter shall refund any excess to the Borrower or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise order.

Wherever possible each provision of this Note shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Note shall be prohibited or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating the remainder of such provision or remaining provisions of this Note.
Time is of the essence of this Note. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower expressly waives presentment, demand, diligence, protest and all notices of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Note.
BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH COMPLEX FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED BY AN EXPERIENCED AND EXPERT PERSON AND THE PARTIES WISH APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS TO APPLY (RATHER THAN ARBITRATION RULES), THE PARTIES DESIRE THAT THEIR DISPUTES BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS. THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION OF THE BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF ARBITRATION, THE BORROWER HERETO WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY RIGHTS OR REMEDIES UNDER THIS NOTE, THE SALE AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY, WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE.
THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (INCLUDING SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW BUT OTHERWISE WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES), AND ANY APPLICABLE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Borrower has caused this Note to be signed and delivered by its duly authorized officer as of the date set forth above.

Form of
ORIGINATOR SUPPORT AGREEMENT
THIS ORIGINATOR SUPPORT AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is entered into as of [_____ __, ____], by SYNNEX CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), in favor of SIT FUNDING CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (“SPE”).
RECITALS
A.    SIT Funding Corporation, as purchaser, has entered into a Third Amended and Restated Receivables Sale and Servicing Agreement dated as of January 23, 2009 (as the same may from time to time be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, the “Sale Agreement”), with SYNNEX Corporation, and the persons party thereto as “Originators.” Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms or matters of construction defined or established Annex X to the Sale Agreement shall be applied herein as defined or established therein.
B.    It is a condition precedent to [______] becoming a party to the Sale Agreement as an “Originator” that Parent, as owner, directly or indirectly, of at least 100% of the outstanding Stock having ordinary voting power to elect the board of directors of [_____] and each other Originator, shall have executed and delivered this Agreement.
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual covenants herein contained and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and in order to induce SPE to make purchases under the Sale Agreement, Parent hereby agrees as follows:
Section 1. Unconditional Undertaking. Parent hereby unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes and agrees with and for the benefit of SPE and the Administrative Agent (for itself and for the benefit of the Secured Parties) to cause the due and punctual performance and observance by the Servicer and each other Originator and their respective successors and assigns (collectively, the “Synnex Entities”) of all of the terms, covenants, conditions, agreements and undertakings on the part of such Synnex Entity to be performed or observed under the Sale Agreement or any document delivered by such Synnex Entity in connection with the Sale Agreement, the Funding Agreement and the Related Documents in accordance with the terms thereof, including the punctual payment when due of all obligations of such Synnex Entity now or hereafter existing under the Sale Agreement whether for indemnification payments, fees, expenses or otherwise (such terms, covenants, conditions, agreements, undertakings and other obligations being the “Guaranteed Obligations”), and agrees to pay any and all reasonable and documented expenses (including reasonable and documented fees and expenses of attorneys, auditors and accountants) incurred by SPE, the Administrative Agent and their respective assigns in enforcing any rights under this

Receivables Sale and Servicing Agreement


Confidential Treatment Requested


Agreement; provided that the foregoing unconditional undertaking of Parent is not intended to, and shall not, constitute a guarantee of the collectibility or payment of the Transferred Receivables. Parent agrees that each of its Subsidiaries that becomes an “Originator” under the Sale Agreement shall be deemed to be an “Originator” for purposes of this Agreement. In the event that any Synnex Entity shall fail in any manner whatsoever to perform or observe any of its Guaranteed Obligations when the same shall be required to be performed or observed under the Sale Agreement or any such other Related Document, then Parent will itself duly and punctually perform or observe, or cause to be duly and punctually performed or observed, such Guaranteed Obligations, and it shall not be a condition to the accrual of the obligation of Parent hereunder to perform or observe any Guaranteed Obligation (or to cause the same to be performed or observed) that SPE or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall have first made any request of or demand upon or given any notice to Parent or to any Synnex Entity or their respective successors or assigns, or have instituted any action or proceeding against Parent or any Synnex Entity or their respective successors or assigns in respect thereof.
Section 2. Obligation Absolute. Parent undertakes that the Guaranteed Obligations will be performed or paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the Sale Agreement or any other Related Document delivered by any Synnex Entity in connection with the Sale Agreement regardless of any law, regulation or order applicable to SPE or the Administrative Agent now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of SPE or the Administrative Agent with respect thereto. The obligations of Parent under this Agreement are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against Parent to enforce this Agreement, irrespective of whether any action is brought against any Synnex Entity or whether any Synnex Entity is joined in any such action or actions. The liability of Parent under this Agreement shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:
(a)    any lack of validity or enforceability of the Sale Agreement or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;
(b)    any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from the Sale Agreement or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto, including, without limitation, any increase in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from additional purchases or contributions of Receivables (other than Excluded Receivables) or otherwise;
(c)    any taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of any collateral, or any taking, release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any guaranty, for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations;
(d)    any manner of application of collateral, or proceeds thereof, to all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any manner of sale or other disposition of any collateral for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other assets of any Synnex Entity or any of its subsidiaries;

Receivables Sale and Servicing Agreement
Exhibit 2.03-2


Confidential Treatment Requested


(e)    any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of any Synnex Entity or any of its subsidiaries; or
(f)    any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Synnex Entity or a guarantor.
This Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by SPE upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Synnex Entity or otherwise, all as though payment had not been made.
Section 3. Waivers. Parent hereby waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance and, except to the extent required under the Sale Agreement, any other notice with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and this Agreement and any requirement that SPE or the Administrative Agent protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien or any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against any Synnex Entity or any other person or entity or any collateral.
Section 4. Subrogation. Parent agrees not to exercise any rights that it may acquire by way of subrogation against any Synnex Entity and its property or any rights of indemnification, contribution and reimbursement from any Synnex Entity and its property, in each case in connection with this Agreement and any payments made hereunder, until such time as the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid and performed in full and the Termination Date has occurred.
Section 5. Separate Identity from Buyer. Parent shall itself, and shall ensure that each of its Affiliates, at all times comply with the covenants and agreements of the Originators set forth in Section 4.02(i) of the Sale Agreement as if Parent and each of its Affiliates were identified therein. Parent is party to no agreements with SPE or the Administrative Agent other than pursuant to the Related Documents.
Section 6. No Proceedings. From and after the Closing Date and until the date one year plus one day following the date on which all Borrower Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash, Parent shall not, directly or indirectly, institute or cause to be instituted against SPE any proceeding of the type referred to in Sections 8.01(c) or 8.01(d) of the Sale Agreement.
Section 7. Amendments and Waivers. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by Parent herefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by SPE and the Administrative Agent, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.
Section 8. Addresses for Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be sent in the manner provided in Section 6.01 of the Sale Agreement, which provisions are incorporated herein by this reference as though fully set forth herein.

Receivables Sale and Servicing Agreement
Exhibit 2.03-3

Section 9. No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of SPE or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.
Section 10. Continuing Agreement; Assignments under Sale Agreement. This Agreement is a continuing agreement and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the Termination Date has occurred and the payment and performance in full of the Guaranteed Obligations and the payment of all other amounts payable under this Agreement, (b) be binding upon Parent, its successors and assigns, and (c) inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, SPE, the Administrative Agent and their respective successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (c), if SPE assigns all or any of the Transferred Receivables, or any interest therein, the assignees shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to SPE and the Administrative Agent herein or otherwise, including the rights to receive any notices hereunder, to consent to any waivers, amendments or other modifications of this Agreement, and/or to be reimbursed for any expenses in enforcing any rights hereunder.
Section 11. Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
Section 12. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE ORIGINATOR OBLIGATIONS ARISING HEREUNDER SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS, INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE, BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (INCLUDING SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW BUT OTHERWISE WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES) AND ANY APPLICABLE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Parent has caused this Agreement to be duly executed and delivered by its officer thereunto duly authorized as of the date first above written.
