ARTICLE V
INDEMNIFICATION; EXPENSES; RELATED MATTERS

22

Indemnities by the Transferor

. Without limiting any other rights which the Indemnified Parties may have hereunder or under applicable Law and notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, including Section 5.03 of the Transfer and Servicing Agreement, the Transferor hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless (on an after tax basis) the Agent, each Investor and their respective successors and permitted assigns and their respective officers, directors, employees, partners, representatives, members, managers, advisors, shareholders, attorneys, Affiliates and agents (collectively, “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all damages, losses, claims, liabilities, deficiencies, obligations, fines, penalties, actions (whether threatened or existing), judgments, suits (whether threatened or existing), costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements (all of the foregoing being collectively referred to as “Indemnified Amounts”) awarded against or incurred by any of them arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, the Receivable Sales Agreement, the Loan Servicing Agreement, the ownership or maintenance, either directly or indirectly, by such Investor of the Offered Notes or by the Certificateholder of the Class A Trust Certificate or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or in respect of the Trust Estate, except, (i) Indemnified Amounts to the extent determined in a final and non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have directly resulted from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct, (ii) to the extent that any Indemnified Amount relates to Excluded Taxes or amounts payable by the Issuer under Sections 5.2 or 5.3, (iii) for recourse for the payment of principal of or interest on, or other amounts due in respect of, the Offered Notes or the Class A Trust Certificate as a result of nonpayment by Obligors on the Accounts or the related Receivables (collectively, the “Excluded Liabilities”). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Transferor shall indemnify each Indemnified Party for Indemnified Amounts relating to or resulting from:

(a) any representation or warranty made by the Transferor or the Issuer or any officers of the Transferor or the Issuer under or in connection with this Agreement, any of the other Transaction Documents, or any other information or report delivered by the Transferor or the Issuer pursuant hereto, or pursuant to any of the other Transaction Documents having been incomplete, false or incorrect when made or deemed made;

(b) the failure by the Transferor or the Issuer to comply with any applicable Law with respect to any Receivable or the related Credit Card Agreement, or the nonconformity of any Receivable or the related Credit Card Agreement with any such applicable Law;

(c) any dispute, claim, offset or defense (other than bankruptcy) of the Obligor to the payment of any Receivable (including a defense based on such Receivable or the related Credit Card Agreement not being the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Obligor enforceable against it in accordance with its terms);

(d) the failure by the Transferor or the Issuer to comply with any term, provision or covenant contained in this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party or to perform any of its respective duties or obligations under the Receivables or related Contracts; or

(e) any action taken by the Transferor or the Issuer in the enforcement or collection of any Receivable.

Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party of notice of the commencement of any action, such Indemnified Party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made under this Section 5.1, notify the Transferor, provided, however, the omission to so notify the Transferor will not relieve the Transferor from any liability which it may have to any such Indemnified Party under this Section 5.1, except to the extent the Transferor was actually prejudiced by the failure to give such notices promptly.

Thereafter, the Indemnified Party and the Transferor shall consult, to the extent appropriate, with a view to minimizing the cost to the Transferor of its obligations hereunder; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall obligate any Indemnified Party to take any action that imposes on such Person any additional costs or legal or regulatory burdens which in such Person’s reasonable opinion, would have an adverse effect on its business, operations or financial condition. In case any Indemnified Party receives written notice of any damage, loss or expense in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder by it and it notifies the Transferor thereof, the Transferor will be entitled to participate therein, and to the extent that it may elect by written notice delivered to the Indemnified Party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such Indemnified Party, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory at all times to such Indemnified Party; provided, however, that if the parties against which any damage, loss or expense arises include both the Indemnified Party and the Transferor, and the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the Transferor, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to select one separate counsel for such Indemnified Party to assume such legal defenses and otherwise to participate in the defense of such damage, loss or expenses on behalf of such Indemnified Party. Upon receipt of notice from the Transferor to such Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense of such action and approval by the Indemnified Party of such counsel, the Transferor shall not be liable to such Indemnified Party under this Section 5.1 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the Indemnified Party shall have employed such counsel in connection with assumption of legal defenses in accordance with the proviso to the next preceding sentence, (ii) the Transferor shall not have employed and continued to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party to represent the Indemnified Party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action or (iii) the Transferor shall have authorized the employment of counsel for the Indemnified Party at the expense of the Transferor.

Taxes

. (a) All payments and distributions made hereunder by the Issuer, Transferor or the Servicer (each, a “payor”) to each Investor (a “recipient”) shall be made, to the extent permitted by applicable law, free and clear of and without deduction for any present or future income, excise, stamp or franchise taxes and any other taxes, fees, duties, withholdings or other charges of any nature whatsoever imposed by any taxing authority on any recipient (or any assignee of such parties), but excluding Excluded Taxes (such non‑excluded items being called “Taxes”). In the event that any withholding or deduction from any payment made by the payor hereunder is required in respect of any Taxes, then the payor (or if such payor is the Servicer, the Issuer):

(i) shall pay directly to the relevant authority the full amount required to be so withheld or deducted;

(ii) shall promptly forward to such Investor an official receipt or other documentation satisfactory to such Investor evidencing such payment to such authority; and

(iii) shall pay to the recipient such additional amount or amounts as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by the recipient will equal the full amount such recipient would have received had no such withholding or deduction been required.

Moreover, if any Taxes are directly asserted against any recipient with respect to any payment received by such payment recipient hereunder, the recipient may pay such Taxes and the payor (or if such payor is the Servicer, the Issuer) will promptly pay such additional amounts (including any penalties, interest or expenses), as shall be necessary in order that the net amount received by the payment recipient after the payment of such Taxes (including any Taxes on such additional amount) shall equal the amount such payment recipient would have received had such Taxes not been asserted.

If the payor fails to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the recipient the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the payor (or if such payor is the Servicer, the Issuer) shall indemnify the recipient for any incremental Taxes, interest, or penalties that may become payable by any recipient as a result of any such failure.

(b) Each Investor shall, prior to becoming a party to any Transaction Document, deliver to each payor two duly completed copies of an Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or applicable successor form.

(i) Each Investor shall deliver to each payor two (2) further copies of any such form or certification previously delivered on or before the date that any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to the payor;

(ii) Each Investor shall obtain such extensions of time for filing and complete such forms or certifications as may reasonably be requested by the payor; unless, in any such case, an event (including, without limitation, any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred after the Closing Date and prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Investor from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it, and such Investor so advises the payor. In such event, the Investor shall make reasonable efforts to cooperate with the payor in availing itself of any other then reasonably available exemption for Taxes. Each such Investor shall certify that it is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax;

(iii) If a payment made to a recipient would be subject to United States federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such recipient were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such recipient shall deliver to the Transferor at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the payor such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the payor as may be necessary for the payor to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to determine that such recipient has complied with such recipient’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (iii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

23

(c) If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 5.2 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 5.2), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant government or taxing authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this subsection 5.2(c) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant government or taxing authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such government or taxing authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection 5.2(c), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this subsection 5.2(c) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(d) Each Investor agrees that it will use reasonable efforts to reduce or eliminate any claim for compensation pursuant to this Section 5.2, including but not limited to designating a different office in which any funding hereunder is made, accounted for or booked if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any additional amount or amounts otherwise owing pursuant to this Section 5.2 and will not, in the good faith opinion of such Investor, be unlawful or otherwise materially disadvantageous to such Investor.

Indemnities by the Servicer

. (a) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, including Section 6.03 of the Transfer and Servicing Agreement, the Servicer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless (on an after tax basis) each Indemnified Party from and against any Indemnified Amount suffered or sustained by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, or negligence in the performance of the duties of the Servicer, by reason of reckless disregard or breach of covenants, obligations and duties of the Servicer hereunder or under any other Transaction Document to which the Servicer is a party or by reason of the failure of any representation or warranty made or deemed made by the Servicer (or any of its officers) under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which the Servicer is a party have been true and correct in all material respects as of the date made or deemed made; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not indemnify any such Indemnified Party for any such Indemnified Amount suffered or sustained by reason of any action taken or omitted at the written request of any such Indemnified Party; and provided, further, that the Servicer shall not indemnify any such Indemnified Party for any such Indemnified Amount to the extent determined in a final and non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have directly resulted from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct, with respect to the uncollectibility of the Receivables on account of the insolvency, bankruptcy or lack of creditworthiness of the related Obligor or with respect to any Excluded Taxes required to be paid by any such Indemnified Party in connection herewith to any taxing authority. The Servicer shall not be liable for acts or omissions of any Successor Servicer. The provisions of this indemnity shall run directly to and be enforceable by an injured party subject to the limitations hereof.

(b) Each Indemnified Party shall use its good faith efforts to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any losses, expenses or claims for indemnification pursuant to this Section 5.3; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall obligate any Indemnified Party to take any action that imposes on such Person any additional costs or legal or regulatory burdens which in such Person’s reasonable opinion, would have an adverse effect on its business, operations or financial condition.

(c) Promptly after the receipt by an Indemnified Party of written notice of any damage, loss or expense in respect of which indemnity may be sought under this Section 5.3 by it, such Indemnified Party will, if a claim is to be made against the Servicer, notify the Servicer thereof in writing; but the omission so to notify the Servicer will not relieve the Servicer from any liability which it may have to any Indemnified Party except as may be required or provided otherwise than under this Section 5.3. Thereafter, the Indemnified Party and the Servicer shall consult, to the extent appropriate, with a view to minimizing the cost to the Servicer of its obligations hereunder; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall obligate any Indemnified Party to take any action that imposes on such Person any additional costs or legal or regulatory burdens which in such Person’s reasonable opinion, would have an adverse effect on its business, operations or financial condition. In case any Indemnified Party receives written notice of any damage, loss or expense in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder by it and it notifies the Servicer thereof, the Servicer will be entitled to participate therein, and to the extent that it may elect by written notice delivered to the Indemnified Party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such Indemnified Party, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory at all times to such Indemnified Party; provided, however, that if the parties against which any damage, loss or expense arises include both the Indemnified Party and the Servicer, and the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the Servicer, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to select one separate counsel for such Indemnified Party to assume such legal defenses and otherwise to participate in the defense of such damage, loss or expenses on behalf of such Indemnified Party. Upon receipt of notice from the Servicer to such Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense of such action and approval by the Indemnified Party of such counsel, the Servicer shall not be liable to such Indemnified Party under this Section 5.3 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the Indemnified Party shall have employed such counsel in connection with assumption of legal defenses in accordance with the proviso to the next preceding sentence, (ii) the Servicer shall not have employed and continued to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party to represent the Indemnified Party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action or (iii) the Servicer shall have authorized the employment of counsel for the Indemnified Party at the expense of the Servicer.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provisions contained in this Section 5.3, (i) the Servicer shall not be liable for any settlement, compromise or consent to the entry of any order adjudicating or otherwise disposing of any damage, loss or expense effected without its consent and (ii) after the Servicer has assumed the defense of any damage, loss or expense under this Section 5.3 with respect to any Indemnified Party, it will not settle, compromise or consent to entry of any order adjudicating or otherwise disposing thereof (1) if such settlement, compromise or order involved the payment of money damages, unless the Servicer agrees with such Indemnified Party to pay such money damages and, if not simultaneously paid, to furnish such Indemnified Party with satisfactory evidence of its ability to pay such money damages, (2) if such settlement, compromise or order involved any relief against such Indemnified Party, other than the payment of money damages, without the prior written consent of such Indemnified Party and (3) if such settlement, compromise or order does not provide a full release of the Indemnified Party, without the prior written consent of such Indemnified Party.

ARTICLE VI
MISCELLANEOUS

Waivers; Amendments

. (a) No failure or delay on the part of any party hereto in exercising any power, right or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or remedy preclude any other further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power, right or remedy. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and nonexclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

(b) This Agreement may be amended from time to time only with the written consent of the Transferor, the Servicer, the Issuer, the Agent and Investors in Offered Notes representing more than 66 2/3% of the Class A Note Principal Balance.

Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Appointment of Service Agent

26

(a) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT REFERENCE TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF OTHER THAN SECTION 5‑1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW). EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY SUBMITS TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK AND OF ANY NEW YORK STATE COURT SITTING IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK FOR PURPOSES OF ALL LEGAL PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY EFFECTIVELY DO SO, ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 6.4 SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST ANY OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE PROPERTY IN THE COURTS OF OTHER JURISDICTIONS.

(b) EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO HAVE A JURY PARTICIPATE IN RESOLVING ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, AMONG ANY OF THEM ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATING TO OR INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THEM IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS.

(c) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 6.3 of this Agreement; provided, that nothing in this Agreement shall affect the right of any such party to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

(d) In the event of a dispute or litigation under any Transaction Document, the prevailing party shall be entitled to receive all expenses incurred therewith, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses.

(e) Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that any breach or threatened breach of Section 4.2(jj) of this Agreement is likely to cause irreparable harm for which money damages may not be an appropriate or sufficient remedy. Each party hereto therefore agrees that the party alleging such breach or threat to commit such breach is entitled to seek injunctive or other equitable relief to remedy or prevent any breach or threatened breach of Section 4.2(jj) of this Agreement. Such remedy is not the exclusive remedy for any breach or threatened breach of Section 4.2(jj) of this Agreement, but is in addition to all other rights and remedies available at law or in equity and pursuant to this Agreement.

Integration

. This Agreement contains the final and complete integration of all prior expressions by the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall constitute the entire Agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof superseding all prior oral or written understandings.

Severability of Provisions

. If any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement shall for any reason whatsoever be held invalid, then such provisions shall be deemed severable from the remaining provisions of this Agreement and shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of such other provisions.

Counterparts; Facsimile Delivery

. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement. Electronic delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement shall be effective as delivery of an executed counterpart hereof.

Successors and Assigns; Binding Effect; Stapled Transfers of Offered Notes

. This Agreement shall be binding upon each of and inure to the benefit of the Transferor, the Issuer, the Servicer, the Certificateholder and the Investors and their respective successors and permitted assigns (including any subsequent holders of the Offered Notes or the Class A Trust Certificate). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, except as provided in Section 5.02 or 6.02 of the Transfer and Servicing Agreement, this Agreement may not be assigned by the Transferor, the Issuer or the Servicer without the prior written consent of the Agent on behalf of the Investors. Each Investor with the consent of the Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) may Transfer its rights hereunder in whole or in part to any Permitted Transferee without the consent of the Transferor and to any other Person with the prior written consent of the Transferor, in each case in compliance with the Indenture Supplement; provided that if an Early Redemption Event or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, each Investor may Transfer its rights hereunder in whole or in part to any Person without the consent of the Transferor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Offered Note may be transferred other than pursuant to a transfer of a pro rata portion of Class A-1 Notes, Class A-2 Notes, Class A-3 Notes, Class A-4 Notes, and Class A-5 Notes (a “Stapled Transfer”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Class A Trust Certificate can be transferred separately from the Offered Notes.

Confidentiality

. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that it will not disclose the contents of this Agreement, any information disclosed pursuant to this Agreement including confidential information of or with respect to the Investors, the Agent, the Certificateholder, the Transferor, the Servicer or the Issuer to any other Person; except that each such party, its Affiliates and such party’s and it’s Affiliates’ respective officers, managers, members, partners, advisors, consultants and employees may disclose this Agreement and such information (i) to its external accountants and attorneys, financing sources, potential financing sources, investors, potential investors, and the agents of such Persons (“Excepted Persons”), and as required by an applicable law or order of any judicial or administrative proceeding or regulatory examination, (ii) to any Permitted Transferee or potential Permitted Transferee; provided that to the extent that such Permitted Transferee or potential Permitted Transferee actually receives the confidential information described below, it will enter into a confidentiality agreement for the benefit of the Transferor and its Affiliates in a mutually agreeable form and (iii) in any suit, action, proceeding or investigation (whether in law or in equity or pursuant to arbitration) involving this Agreement for the purpose of defending itself, reducing its liability, or protecting or exercising any of its claims, rights, remedies or interests under or in connection with this Agreement; provided, however, that the disclosing party shall, as a condition to any such disclosure, direct and require any Excepted Person receiving such information to maintain the confidentiality of such information and the disclosing party shall be liable for any failure of such Excepted Person to maintain the confidentiality of such information. It is understood that the financial terms that may not be disclosed except in compliance with this Section 6.9 are: all fees and other pricing terms, and all provisions relating to Early Redemption Events. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that any breach or threatened breach of this Section is likely to cause the disclosing party irreparable harm for which money damages may not be an appropriate or sufficient remedy. The party receiving confidential information therefore agrees that the disclosing party is entitled to seek injunctive or other equitable relief to remedy or prevent any breach or threatened breach of this Section. Such remedy is not the exclusive remedy for any breach or threatened breach of this Section, but is in addition to all other rights and remedies available at law or in equity and pursuant to this Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each party (and each employee, representative or other agent of each party) hereto may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, any information with respect to the United States federal income “tax treatment” and “tax structure” of the transactions contemplated hereby (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to such parties (or their representatives) relating to such tax treatment and tax structure; provided that with respect to any document or similar item that in either case contains information concerning the tax treatment or tax structure of the transaction as well as other information, this sentence shall only apply to such portions of the document or similar item that relate to the tax treatment or tax structure of the transactions contemplated hereby.

No Bankruptcy Petition Against the Issuer or the Transferor

. Each of the parties hereto, by entering into this Agreement, covenants and agrees that it will not at any time institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, the Issuer or the Transferor any proceeding of a type referred to in the definition of Insolvency Event.

No Recourse Against Issuer

. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the obligations of the Issuer under this Agreement, the Indenture and the Indenture Supplement shall be payable at such time as funds are received by or are available to the Issuer in excess of funds necessary to pay in full all outstanding Notes and, to the extent funds are not available to pay such obligations, the claims relating thereto shall not constitute a claim against the Issuer but shall continue to accrue. Each party hereto agrees that the payment by the Issuer of any “claim” (as defined in Section 101 of Title 11 of the Bankruptcy Code) of any such party hereunder shall be subordinated to the payment in full of all Notes.

Limitation of Liability

. It is expressly understood and agreed by the parties hereto that (a) this Agreement is executed and delivered by Wilmington Trust, National Association, not individually or personally but solely as trustee of the Issuer, in the exercise of the powers and authority conferred and vested in it under the Trust Agreement, (b) each of the representations, undertakings and agreements herein made on the part of the Issuer is made and intended not as personal representations, undertakings and agreements by Wilmington Trust, National Association but is made and intended for the purpose of binding only the Issuer and (c) under no circumstances shall Wilmington Trust, National Association be personally liable for the payment of any indebtedness or expenses of the Issuer or be liable for the breach or failure of any obligation, representation, warranty or covenant made or undertaken by the Issuer under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents to which the Issuer is a party.

Amounts Limited to Available Collections

. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, the obligations of the Issuer and Transferor hereunder shall be payable hereunder solely to the extent funds are available therefor and, to the extent such funds are insufficient or unavailable to pay any amounts owing by the Issuer or the Transferor, as applicable, hereunder, it shall not constitute a claim against the Issuer or the Transferor, as applicable.

27

ARTICLE VII
THE AGENT

Authorization and Action

.

(a) Each Investor and Certificateholder hereby irrevocably designates and appoints TSO-Fortiva Notes Holdco LP, as Agent hereunder, and authorizes the Agent to take such actions as agent on its behalf, including execution of the other Transaction Documents, and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Agent by the terms of this Agreement together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with the Investor, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities on the part of the Agent shall be read into this Agreement or otherwise exist for the Agent, regardless of whether an Event of Default or Early Redemption Event has occurred and is continuing. In performing its functions and duties hereunder, the Agent shall act solely as agent for the Investors and the Certificateholder and does not assume nor shall be deemed to have assumed any obligation or relationship of trust or agency with or for the Issuer, the Transferor or the Servicer or any of their successors or assigns. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Agent, the Investors and the Certificateholder, and none of the Issuer, the Transferor or the Servicer shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any such provisions. The Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes the Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) the Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers; provided that, the Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Transaction Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any applicable law, and (ii) except as expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents, the Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Issuer, the Transferor, the Servicer or any of their respective Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Event of Default or Early Redemption Event unless and until written notice thereof is given to Agent by the Issuer, the Transferor, the Servicer or an Investor, and the Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (A) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Transaction Document, (B) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection with any Transaction Document, (C) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Transaction Document, (D) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Transaction Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (E) the creation, perfection or priority of Liens on the Trust Estate or the existence of the Trust Estate or (F) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article III or elsewhere in any Transaction Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Agent. The Agent shall not be liable or responsible for any act or omission of the Account Bank.

(b) Each Investor and each subsequent Investor hereby consents to the registration of the Class A Notes in the name of Agent as the “Class A Noteholder” (as defined in the Indenture Supplement) solely for the purposes of administration and convenience, and that as such Class A Noteholder, the Agent shall have no beneficial ownership interest in the Class A Notes. Without limiting the authorization of and delegation to the Agent set forth in the foregoing Section 7.1(a), it is hereby acknowledged and agreed that all payments in respect of the Class A Notes and in respect of fees and other amounts owing to the Investors under this Agreement shall, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, be remitted by the applicable payor to the Agent as the Class A Noteholder, and the Agent in such capacity shall distribute all such amounts, promptly following receipt thereof, to the applicable parties in interest according to their respective interests therein, determined by reference to the terms of the Indenture, the Indenture Supplement, this Agreement and the Agent’s books and records relating to the Class A Notes, the Indenture, the Indenture Supplement and this Agreement (it being agreed that the entries made in such books and records of the Agent shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error).

Delegation of Duties

.

The Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. The exculpatory provisions set forth in Section 7.3 shall apply to any such agents or attorneys-in-fact.

Exculpatory Provisions

.

Neither the Agent nor any of its Affiliates or any of its or their respective directors, members, managers, shareholders, partners, officers, agents, representatives or employees shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with this Agreement (except for its, their or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (ii) responsible in any manner to any Investor or Certificateholder for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by the Transferor, the Issuer or the Servicer contained in this Agreement or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received under or in connection with, this Agreement or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other document furnished in connection herewith, or for any failure of the Transferor, the Issuer or the Servicer to perform its obligations hereunder, or for the satisfaction of any condition specified herein. The Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Investor or Certificateholder to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements or covenants contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Transferor, the Issuer or the Servicer. The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Early Redemption Event unless the Agent has received notice from the Transferor, the Issuer or the Investor.

Reliance

.

The Agent (including in its capacity as “Class A Noteholder”) shall in all cases be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Servicer, the Transferor or the Issuer), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Agent. The Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other document furnished in connection herewith unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Investors as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Investors, provided that unless and until the Agent shall have received such advice, the Agent may take or refrain from taking any action, as the Agent shall deem advisable and in the best interests of the Investors. The Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, in accordance with a request of an Investor, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon each Investor.

Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Investors and Certificateholder

.

The Investors and Certificateholder expressly acknowledge that neither the Agent nor any of its Affiliates or any of its or their respective directors, members, managers, shareholders, partners, officers, agents, representatives or employees has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Agent hereafter taken, including, without limitation, any review of the affairs of the Servicer, the Issuer, the Account Owner, the Seller or the Transferor, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Agent. Each Investor and Certificateholder represents and warrants to the Agent that it has and will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any Investor and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other conditions and creditworthiness of the Transferor, the Seller, the Issuer, the Account Owner and the Servicer and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement.

The Investors and Certificateholder are not partners or co-venturers, and no Investor shall be liable for the acts or omissions of, or (except as otherwise set forth herein in case of the Agent) authorized to act for, any other Investor or Certificateholder. The Agent shall have the exclusive right on behalf of the Investors to enforce the payment of the principal of and interest on any Offered Note after the date such principal or interest has become due and payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

28

Reimbursement and Indemnification

.

The Investors and Certificateholder agree to reimburse and indemnify the Agent (including in its capacity as “Class A Noteholder”) and each of its of its Affiliates or any of its or their respective directors, members, managers, shareholders, partners, officers, agents, representatives or employees ratably according to their pro rata shares, to the extent not paid or reimbursed by the Transferor, the Servicer or the Issuer (a) for any amounts for which the Agent, acting in its capacity as Agent, is entitled to reimbursement by the Transferor, the Servicer or the Issuer hereunder and (b) for any other expenses incurred by the Agent, acting in its capacity as Agent, in connection with the administration and enforcement of this Agreement.

Agent in its Individual Capacity.

The Agent and each of its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Servicer, the Seller, the Issuer or the Transferor as though the Agent was not the Agent hereunder. With respect to purchasing the Offered Notes or Class A Note Principal Balance Increases or Class A Trust Certificate pursuant to this Agreement, the Agent and each of its Affiliates shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any Investor and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent, and the terms “Investor” and “Investors” shall include the Agent, in its individual capacity.

Successor Agent

.

The Agent may, upon 5 days’ notice to the Transferor, the Issuer, the Investors and Certificateholder resign as Agent. If the Agent shall resign, then Investors holding a majority of the outstanding principal balance of the Class A Notes during such 5-day period shall appoint a successor agent. If for any reason no successor Agent is appointed by the Investors and accepted such appointment during such 5-day period, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Investors and Certificateholder, appoint a successor Agent. Any successor agent shall be an Investor, a Certificateholder or an Affiliate of an Investor who shall agree to comply with Section 6.9 hereof; provided that any successor agent that is not an Investor or a Certificateholder shall comply with Section 9.04 of the Indenture Supplement as if it were a Class A Noteholder. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. Such successor Agent shall be designated as the “Class A Noteholder” as described in Section 7.1(b) hereof. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Article VII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement.
