SECTION 7. Execution in Counterparts.

On the Closing Date, and thereafter from time to time during the Reinvestment Period, on request of the SPV in accordance with Section 2.3, each Funding Agent (on behalf of its related Conduit Investors or the Related Alternate Investors as determined pursuant to Section 2.3) shall deposit in the Funding Account for payment to the SPV from funds received from the related Investors pursuant to Section 2.3(d) an amount equal in each instance to the least of (i) its Purchaser Group’s Pro Rata Share of the amount requested by the SPV under Section 2.3(a), (ii) its Purchaser Group’s Pro Rata Share of the largest amount that will not cause (A) the Net Investment to exceed the Maximum Net Investment or (B) the sum of the Net Investment and the Required Reserves to exceed the Net Pool Balance and (iii) the largest amount which will not cause such Investor to exceed its Conduit Funding Limit or Commitment, as applicable. Each such payment is herein called an “Investment”.

(b)            Reinvestments. On each Business Day during the Reinvestment Period, the Master Servicer, on behalf of the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Funding Agents for the benefit of the Conduit Investors and/or the Alternate Investors as applicable), shall pay to the SPV, out of Collections of Receivables, the amount available for Reinvestment in accordance with Section 2.12(a)(iii). Each such payment is hereinafter called a “Reinvestment”. All Reinvestments with respect to the Conduit Investor Percentage and the Alternate Investor Percentage of the Asset Interest shall be made ratably on behalf of the Conduit Investors and Alternate Investors, as applicable, pro rata in accordance with their respective outstanding portions of the Alternate Investor Percentage and Conduit Investor Percentage, as applicable, of the Net Investment funded by them.

(c)            Deferred Purchase Price. On each Business Day on and after the Final Payout Date, the Master Servicer, on behalf of the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Funding Agents for the benefit of the Investors, shall pay to the SPV an amount equal to the Collections of Receivables received by the SPV less the accrued and unpaid Servicing Fee (and the SPV (or the Master Servicer on its behalf) shall apply such Collections in the manner described in Section 2.14).

(d)            SPV Payments Limited to Collections. Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not, and shall not be obligated (whether on behalf of the Funding Agents for the benefits of the Conduit Investors or the Alternate Investors, as applicable), to pay any amount to the SPV as the purchase price of Receivables pursuant to subsections (b) and (c) above except to the extent of Collections on Receivables available for distribution to the SPV in accordance with this Agreement. Any amount which the Administrative Agent (whether on behalf of the Funding Agents for the benefit of the Conduit Investors or the Alternate Investors, if applicable) does not pay pursuant to the preceding sentence shall not constitute a claim (as defined in § 101 of the Bankruptcy Code) against or corporate obligation of the Administrative Agent, any Funding Agent or any Investor for any such insufficiency unless and until such amount becomes available for distribution to the SPV under Section 2.12.

SECTION 2.3         Investment Procedures.

(a)            Notice. The SPV shall request an Investment hereunder, by request to the Administrative Agent, with a copy to each Funding Agent, given by email or facsimile in the form of an Investment Request by no later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the same Business Day of the proposed date of such Investment. Each such Investment Request shall specify (i) the desired amount of such Investment (which shall be at least $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or, to the extent that the then available unused portion of the Maximum Net Investment is less than such amount, such lesser amount) up to the entire available unused portion of the Maximum Net Investment), including the aggregate Pro Rata Shares per Purchaser Group of such Investment and (ii) the desired date of such Investment (the “Investment Date”) which shall be a Permitted Investment Date.

(b)            [Reserved].

(i)            Each Funding Agent will promptly notify the related Conduit Investor of each Funding Agent’s receipt of any Investment Request. Each Conduit Investor shall instruct such Funding Agent to accept or reject (on such Conduit Investor’s behalf) such Investment Request by notice given to the SPV, the Administrative Agent and such Funding Agent by telephone or facsimile by no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the requested Investment Date. Failure by a Conduit Investor to timely deliver such notice shall be deemed to be an acceptance of such Investment Request. If more than one Conduit Investor in any Purchaser Group accepts an Investment Request, the portion of such Investment Request to be funded by each Conduit Investor in such Purchaser Group shall be determined by the Related Funding Agent in its sole discretion.

(ii)            Each Investment Request shall be irrevocable and binding on the SPV, and the SPV shall indemnify each Investor against any loss or expense incurred by such Investor, either directly or indirectly (including, in the case of a Conduit Investor, through a Program Support Agreement) as a result of any failure by the SPV to complete such Investment, including any loss (including loss of profit) or expense incurred by a Funding Agent or any Investor, either directly or indirectly (including, in the case of a Conduit Investor, pursuant to a Program Support Agreement) by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of funds acquired by such Investor (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 Investment.

(d)            Alternate Investor’s Commitment. Subject to Section 2.2(b) concerning Reinvestments, at no time will a Conduit Investor have any obligation to fund an Investment or Reinvestment. At any time when all Conduit Investors in a Purchaser Group have rejected a request for Investment or a Conduit Investor has failed to make an Investment in connection with an Investment Request it has accepted (or the portion thereof determined by the Related Funding Agent), the Related Funding Agent shall so notify the Related Alternate Investors and such Alternate Investors shall make such Investment, on a pro rata basis, in accordance with their respective Special Pro Rata Shares. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 2.3(d) or elsewhere in this Agreement to the contrary, no Alternate Investor shall be obligated to provide any Funding Agent or the SPV with funds in connection with an Investment in an amount that would result in the portion of the Net Investment then funded by it exceeding its Allocable Portion of Maximum Net Investment then in effect (minus the unrecovered principal amount of such Alternate Investor’s investment in the Asset Interest pursuant to the Program Support Agreement to which it is a party). The obligation of each Alternate Investor to remit its Special Pro Rata Share of any such Investment shall be several from that of each other Alternate Investor, and the failure of any Alternate Investor to so make such amount available to the Related Funding Agent shall not relieve any other Alternate Investor of its obligation hereunder.

(e)            Payment of Investment. On any Investment Date, each Conduit Investor and/or Alternate Investor, as the case may be, shall, not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such date, remit its share of the aggregate amount of such Investment (determined pursuant to Section 2.2(a)) to the Funding Account specified from time to time by the Administrative Agent to each Funding Agent by notice to such Persons by wire transfer of same day funds. Following the Administrative Agent’s receipt of funds from the Investors as aforesaid, the Administrative Agent shall promptly (but in no event later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such day) remit such funds in the Funding Account in respect of each Investment to the SPV’s account designated pursuant to Section 11.3, by wire transfer of same day funds.

(f)            Administrative Agent May Advance Funds. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Funding Agent that any related Investor will not make its share of any Investment available on the applicable Investment Date therefor, the Administrative Agent may (but shall have no obligation to) make any such Investor’s share of any such Investment available to the SPV in anticipation of the receipt by the Administrative Agent of such amount from the applicable Investor. To the extent any such Investor or Funding Agent on behalf of such Investor fails to remit any such amount to the Administrative Agent after any such advance by the Administrative Agent on such Investment Date, such Investor, on the one hand, and the SPV, on the other hand, shall be required to pay such amount to the Administrative Agent for its own account, together with interest thereon at a per annum rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate, in the case of such Investor, or the Base Rate, in the case of the SPV, to the Administrative Agent upon its demand therefor (provided that a Conduit Investor shall have no obligation to pay such interest amounts except to the extent that it shall have sufficient funds to pay the face amount of its Commercial Paper in full). Until such amount shall be repaid, such amount shall be deemed to be Net Investment paid by the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to be the owner of an interest in the Asset Interest hereunder to the extent of such Investment. Upon the payment of such amount to the Administrative Agent (i) by the SPV, the amount of the aggregate Net Investment shall be reduced by such amount or (ii) by such Investor, such payment shall constitute such Investor’s payment of its share of the applicable Investment.

SECTION 2.4         [IS RESERVED AND IS SPECIFIED IN SCHEDULE I.]

SECTION 2.5         Yield, Fees and Other Costs and Expenses. Notwithstanding any limitation on recourse herein, the SPV shall pay, as and when due in accordance with this Agreement, all Fees, Yield, all amounts payable pursuant to Article IX, if any, and the Servicing Fees. On each Remittance Date, to the extent not paid pursuant to Section 2.12 for any reason, the SPV shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Funding Agents on behalf of the Conduit Investors or the Alternate Investors, as applicable, an amount equal to the accrued and unpaid Yield in respect of the prior calendar month. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit in any way the obligations of the SPV to pay the amounts set forth in this Section 2.5.

SECTION 2.6         Deemed Collections. (a)  Dilutions. If on any day the Unpaid Balance of a Receivable is reduced or such Receivable is canceled as a result of any Dilution, the SPV shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection of such Receivable in the amount of the Unpaid Balance (as determined immediately prior to such Dilution) of such Receivable (if such Receivable is canceled) or, otherwise in the amount of such reduction, and the SPV shall pay to the Master Servicer an amount equal to such Deemed Collection and such amount shall be applied by the Master Servicer as a Collection in accordance with Section 2.12.

(b)            Breach of Representation or Warranty. If on any day any of the representations or warranties in Article IV was or becomes untrue with respect to a Receivable (whether on or after the date of transfer thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Funding Agents, on behalf of the Investors, as contemplated hereunder), the SPV shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection of such Receivable in full and the SPV shall on such day pay to the Master Servicer an amount equal to the Unpaid Balance of such Receivable and such amount shall be allocated and applied by the Master Servicer as a Collection in accordance with Section 2.12. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any representation or warranty made with respect to a Receivable in respect of the criteria set forth in clause (e), (h) or (m) of the definition of “Eligible Receivable” in Section 1.1 shall be made with respect to such criteria solely as of the date such Receivable was purchased hereunder.

SECTION 2.7         Payments and Computations, Etc. All amounts to be paid or deposited by the SPV or the Master Servicer hereunder shall be paid or deposited in accordance with the terms hereof no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the day when due in immediately available funds; if such amounts are payable to the Administrative Agent (whether on behalf of any Funding Agent, any Investor or otherwise) they shall be paid or deposited in the account designated pursuant to Section 11.3, until otherwise notified by the Administrative Agent. The SPV shall, to the extent permitted by Law, pay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Funding Agents, on behalf of the Investors, upon demand, interest on all amounts not paid or deposited when due hereunder at a rate equal to [*****]% per annum, plus the Base Rate. All computations of Yield and all per annum fees hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first but excluding the last day) elapsed. Any computations by the Administrative Agent of amounts payable by the SPV hereunder shall be binding upon the SPV absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.8         Reports. By no later than 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on each Reporting Date, the Master Servicer shall prepare and forward to the Administrative Agent a Master Servicer Report, as at, and for the Calculation Period ending on, the immediately preceding Month End Date; provided, however, that with respect to a Master Servicer Report delivered on a weekly basis, the information shall be provided as of the Friday of the preceding week and with respect to a Master Servicer Report delivered more frequently than weekly, the information shall be provided as of the Business Day immediately prior to such Reporting Date. The Master Servicer Report shall be certified by the SPV and the Master Servicer. The Administrative Agent shall promptly provide a copy of such Master Servicer Report to each Investor.

SECTION 2.9         Collection Account. (a)  The SPV shall establish and at all times maintain the Collection Account, bearing a designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Funding Agents, on behalf of the Investors. If at any time the Collection Account is not maintained at or in the name of the Administrative Agent, such account shall be subject to an Account Control Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control over the Collection Account and all monies, instruments and other property from time to time in the Collection Account. On and after the occurrence of a Termination Event or a Potential Termination Event (which Potential Termination Event is not capable of being cured), the Master Servicer shall remit daily within one Business Day of receipt to the Collection Account all Collections received. Funds on deposit in the Collection Account (other than investment earnings) shall be invested by the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Funding Agents on behalf of the Investors, in Eligible Investments that will mature so that such funds will be available so as to permit amounts in the Collection Account to be paid and applied on the next Settlement Date and otherwise in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.12; provided that such funds shall not reduce the Net Investment or accrued Yield hereunder until so applied under Section 2.12. On each Remittance Date, all interest and earnings (net of losses and investment expenses) on funds on deposit in the Collection Account shall be applied as Collections set aside for the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.12. On the Final Payout Date, any funds remaining on deposit in the Collection Account shall be paid to the SPV for application as set forth in Section 2.14.

(b)            The Administrative Agent shall establish in its name on or before the day of the initial Investment hereunder and shall maintain the Funding Account for the benefit of the Funding Agents, on behalf of the Conduit Investors and the Alternate Investors, into which all payments received by the Administrative Agent from the Funding Agents and the Investors shall be deposited pursuant to Section 2.3(d). The Administrative Agent shall have the sole right of withdrawal from the Funding Account.

SECTION 2.10         Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Investor (for purposes of this Section 2.10 only, being a “Recipient”) shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff, or otherwise) on account of the portion of the Asset Interest owned by it (other than pursuant to the Fee Letter, or Article IX and other than as a result of the differences in the timing of the applications of Collections pursuant to Section 2.12 and other than a result of the different methods for calculating Yield) in excess of its ratable share of payments on account of the Asset Interest obtained by the Investors entitled thereto, such Recipient shall forthwith purchase from the Investors entitled to a share of such amount participations in the portions of the Asset Interest owned by such Persons as shall be necessary to cause such Recipient to share the excess payment ratably with each such other Person entitled thereto; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such Recipient, such purchase from each such other Person shall be rescinded and each such other Person shall repay to the Recipient the purchase price paid by such Recipient for such participation to the extent of such recovery, together with an amount equal to such other Person’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (a) the amount of such other Person’s required payment to (b) the total amount so recovered from the Recipient) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the Recipient in respect of the total amount so recovered.

SECTION 2.11         Right of Setoff. Without in any way limiting the provisions of Section 2.10, the Administrative Agent, each Funding Agent and each Investor is hereby authorized (in addition to any other rights it may have) at any time after the occurrence of the Termination Date due to the occurrence of a Termination Event or during the continuance of a Potential Termination Event (which Potential Termination Event is not capable of being cured) to set-off, appropriate and apply (without presentment, demand, protest or other notice which are hereby expressly waived) any deposits and any other indebtedness held or owing by the Administrative Agent, such Funding Agent or such Investor to, or for the account of, the SPV against the amount of the Aggregate Unpaids owing by the SPV to such Person or to the Administrative Agent, or such Funding Agent on behalf of such Person (even if contingent or unmatured).

SECTION 2.15         [RESERVED]

SECTION 2.16         Special Termination Date with Respect to a Particular Conduit Investor. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if there shall occur a Special Termination Date with respect to a Conduit Investor or its Related Alternate Investors, then, from and after such Special Termination Date, (a) no further Investments or Reinvestments shall be made by such Conduit Investors or Related Alternate Investor, (b) the Administrative Agent shall distribute Collections to such Conduit Investor or Related Alternate Investor in accordance with the provisions of Sections 2.12 and 2.13 applicable to a Special Termination Date, (c) in all respects, the provisions of this Agreement with respect to a Termination Date shall be deemed to apply with respect to such Conduit Investor or Related Alternate Investor for which a Special Termination Date has occurred, other than as explicitly set forth herein, and (d) all provisions of this Agreement shall continue to apply to the other Conduit Investors and Related Alternate Investors.

SECTION 2.17         Payments by SPV; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the SPV prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Funding Agents or Investors hereunder that the SPV will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the SPV has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Funding Agents or Investors, as the case may be, the amount due.

With respect to any payment that the Administrative Agent makes for the account of the Funding Agents or Investors hereunder as to which the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that any of the following applies (such payment referred to as the “Rescindable Amount”) : (1) the SPV has not in fact made such payment; (2) the Administrative Agent has made a payment in excess of the amount so paid by the SPV (whether or not then owed); or (3) the Administrative agent has for any reason otherwise erroneously made such payment; then each of the Funding Agents or Investors, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the Rescindable Amount so distributed to such Funding Agent or Investor, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Funding Agent, any Investor or the SPV with respect to any amount owing under this section shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

ADDITIONAL ALTERNATE INVESTOR PROVISIONS

SECTION 3.1         Assignment to Alternate Investors.

(a)            SPV’s Obligation to Pay Certain Amounts; Additional Assignment Amount. The SPV shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of a Funding Agent, for the account of the related Conduit Investors, in connection with any assignment by any such Conduit Investor to the Related Alternate Investors pursuant to this Agreement, an aggregate amount equal to all Yield to accrue through the end of the current Interest Period to the extent attributable to the portion of the Net Investment so assigned to such Alternate Investors (as determined immediately prior to giving effect to such assignment), plus all other accrued Aggregate Unpaids (other than the Net Investment and other than any Yield not described above) payable to any such Conduit Investor in respect of such portion of the Net Investment so assigned. If the SPV fails to make payment of such amounts at or prior to the time of assignment by any such Conduit Investor to the Related Alternate Investors, such amount shall be paid by the Alternate Investors (in accordance with their respective Special Pro Rata Shares) to any such Conduit Investor as additional consideration for the interests assigned to the Alternate Investors and the amount of the “Net Investment” hereunder held by the Alternate Investors shall be increased by an amount equal to the additional amount so paid by the Alternate Investors.

After any assignment in whole by a Conduit Investor to the Related Alternate Investors pursuant to this Agreement at any time on or after the Conduit Investment Termination Date, all payments to be made hereunder by the SPV or the Master Servicer to such Conduit Investor shall be made to the Related Funding Agent’s account as such account shall have been designated by such Funding Agent to the Administrative Agent, the SPV and the Master Servicer

SECTION 3.2         [RESERVED.]

SECTION 3.3         Extension of Commitment Termination Date.

(a)            The SPV may, at any time during the period which is no more than sixty (60) days or less than thirty (30) days immediately preceding the Commitment Termination Date then in effect, request that such Commitment Termination Date be extended for an additional 364 days. Any such request shall be in writing, in substantially the form of Exhibit J (an “Extension Request”), and delivered to the Administrative Agent (which shall be promptly forwarded by the Administrative Agent to each Alternate Investor), and shall be subject to the following conditions: (i) such extension shall be at each Alternate Investor’s sole and absolute discretion, including in respect of any extension or renewal fee that may be payable at the time of such extension, (ii) no Alternate Investor shall have any obligation to extend the Commitment Termination Date at any time, and (iii) any such extension with respect to any Alternate Investor shall be effective only upon the written agreement of the Administrative Agent, such Alternate Investor, the SPV and the Master Servicer, as evidenced by their execution of a counterpart signature page to the applicable Extension Request. Each Alternate Investor will respond to any such request no later than the fifteenth day prior to the Commitment Termination Date (the “Response Deadline”), provided, that a failure by any Alternate Investor to respond by the Response Deadline shall be deemed to be a rejection of the requested extension.

(b)            If at any time the SPV requests that the Alternate Investors extend the Commitment Termination Date in accordance with Section 3.3(a), and some but less than all the Alternate Investors consent to such renewal as of the applicable Response Deadline, the SPV may arrange for an assignment to one or more financial institutions of all the rights and obligations hereunder of each such non-consenting Alternate Investor in accordance with Section 11.8, provided that any such financial institution shall be acceptable to the Related Funding Agent in its sole and absolute discretion. Any such assignment shall become effective on the then-current Commitment Termination Date. Each Alternate Investor which does not so consent to any renewal shall cooperate fully with the SPV in effectuating the administrative details of any such assignment. If none or less than all the Commitments of the non-renewing Alternate Investors are so assigned as provided above and the aggregate Conduit Investor Percentage of the related Conduit Investors equals 100%, then (i) the extended Commitment Termination Date shall be effective solely with respect to the renewing Alternate Investors, (ii) the Facility Limit shall automatically be reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate of the Commitments of all non-renewing Alternate Investors, (iii) the Conduit Funding Limit of the related Conduit Investors shall automatically be reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate of the Commitments of all non-renewing Related Alternate Investors, and (iv) this Agreement and the Commitments of the renewing Alternate Investors shall remain in effect in accordance with their terms notwithstanding the expiration of the Commitments of such non-renewing Alternate Investors.

SECTION 3.4         Increase to Facility Limit. The SPV may, from time to time upon at least thirty (30) days (or such lesser number of days agreed to by the Funding Agents) prior written notice, increase the Aggregate Commitment by up to $500,000,000 in the aggregate by (a) adding a new Purchaser Group and/or (b) causing one or more existing Alternate Investors in one or more Purchaser Groups to increase its Commitment or their Commitments, as applicable. Each notice of a proposed increase in the Aggregate Commitment shall specify (i) the proposed date such increase shall become effective, (ii) the proposed amount of such increase (which amount shall be at least $50,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof), and (iii) whether such proposed increase is proposed to be reflected in the Commitment of an Alternate Investor in a new Purchaser Group (and the amount of such Commitment) or is requested to be provided by the Alternate Investors in existing Purchaser Groups (and the aggregate amount requested to be provided by the existing Alternate Investors), or both. If all or any portion of such proposed increase is to be effectuated by the addition of a new Purchaser Group, then the Investors and the Funding Agent in such new Purchaser Group shall become parties to this Agreement by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent, the Funding Agents, the SPV and the Master Servicer an Assignment and Assumption Agreement (with appropriate deletions of the assignment provisions) setting forth the Commitment of the Alternate Investor in such new Purchaser Group. If all or a portion of such increase is proposed to be effectuated by an increase in the Commitment of one or more existing Alternate Investors, then that portion of such increase shall (i) become effective, if, and only if, one or more Funding Agents (on behalf of the related Alternate Investors) approves such increase by delivering a written confirmation of such approval to the Administrative Agent, the Funding Agents and the SPV, setting forth the amount of increase applicable to such Alternate Investor’s Commitment Aggregate Commitment, and (ii) shall be effective solely with respect to the approving Alternate Investors and solely with respect to the amount set forth in their related Funding Agents’ written confirmations. Schedule A shall be revised to reflect each increase in the Aggregate Commitment, the applicable Commitments of the Alternate Investors in the Purchaser Group in connection with such increase, and other appropriate changes. Nothing contained herein shall constitute a commitment on the part of any Alternate Investor hereunder to agree to any proposed increase in its Commitment in connection with a proposed increase in the Aggregate Commitment.

(l)             Nature of Receivables.

It has no knowledge of any fact (including any defaults by the Obligor thereunder on any other Receivable) that would cause it or should have caused it to expect any payments on such Receivable not to be paid in full when due or that is reasonably likely to cause or result in any other Material Adverse Effect with respect to such Receivable.

(p)            No Termination Event. In the case of the SPV, no event has occurred and is continuing and no condition exists, or would result from any Investment or Reinvestment or from the application of the proceeds therefrom, which constitutes or may be reasonable be expected to constitute a Termination Event or a Potential Termination Event. In the case of the Master Servicer, no Master Servicer Default has occurred and is continuing to exist.

(q)            Not an Investment Company; Volcker Compliance. It is not, and is not controlled by, an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, or is exempt from all provisions of such act.

Neither Arrow, the SPV nor any ERISA Affiliates of either such Person has incurred any withdrawal liability (which has not been satisfied) under Title IV of ERISA with respect to any Multiemployer Plan. No contribution failure has occurred with respect to any Pension Plan sufficient to give rise to a lien under Section 303(k) of ERISA, and each Pension Plan has been administered in all material respects in compliance with its terms and applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code.

(u)            Transfers Under First Tier Agreement. In the case of the SPV, each Receivable has been purchased by it from Arrow pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the First Tier Agreement.

(w)            Nonconsolidation. The SPV is operated in such a manner that the separate corporate existence of the SPV, on the one hand, and each Originator or any Affiliate thereof, on the other, would not be disregarded in the event of the bankruptcy or insolvency of any Originator or any Affiliate thereof and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(i)            the SPV is a limited purpose corporation whose activities are restricted in its certificate of incorporation to activities related to purchasing or otherwise acquiring receivables (including the Receivables) and related assets and rights and conducting any related or incidental business or activities it deems necessary or appropriate to carry out its primary purpose, including entering into agreements like the Transaction Documents;

(ii)            the SPV has not engaged, and does not presently engage, in any activity other than those activities expressly permitted hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents, nor has the SPV entered into any agreement other than this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, and with the prior written consent of the Investors, each Funding Agent and the Administrative Agent, any other agreement necessary to carry out more effectively the provisions and purposes hereof or thereof;

(ix)            no Affiliate of the SPV advances funds to the SPV, other than as is otherwise provided herein or in the other Transaction Documents, and no Affiliate of the SPV otherwise supplies funds to, or guaranties debts of, the SPV; provided, however, that an Affiliate of the SPV may provide funds to the SPV in connection with the capitalization of the SPV;

(x)            other than organizational expenses and as expressly provided in the Transaction Documents, the SPV pays all expenses, indebtedness and other obligations incurred by it;

(xi)           the SPV does not guarantee, and is not otherwise liable, with respect to any obligation of any of its Affiliates;

(xiii)          at all times the SPV is adequately capitalized to engage in the transactions contemplated in its certificate of incorporation;

(xiv)         the financial statements and books and records of the SPV and Arrow reflect the separate corporate existence of the SPV;

(xv)          the SPV does not act as agent for any Originator or any Affiliate thereof, but instead presents itself to the public as a corporation separate from each such member and independently engaged in the business of purchasing and financing Receivables;

(xvi)         the SPV maintains a three-person board of directors, including at least one independent director, who has never been, and shall at no time be a stockholder, director, officer, employee or associate, or any relative of the foregoing, of any Originator or any Affiliate thereof (other than the SPV and any other bankruptcy-remote special purpose entity formed for the sole purpose of securitizing, or facilitating the securitization of, financial assets of any Originator or any Affiliate thereof), all as provided in its certificate or articles of incorporation, and is otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Investors, the Funding Agents and the Administrative Agent; and

(xvii)        the bylaws or the certificate or articles of incorporation of the SPV require the affirmative vote of the independent director before a voluntary petition under Section 301 of the Bankruptcy Code may be filed by the SPV, and the SPV to maintain correct and complete books and records of account and minutes of the meetings and other proceedings of its stockholders and board of directors.

So long as no Termination Event or Potential Termination Event shall have occurred and is continuing, the Master Servicer may, in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy, extend the maturity of any Receivable (but not beyond ten (10) days) and extend the maturity or adjust the Unpaid Balance of any Defaulted Receivable as the Master Servicer may determine to be appropriate to maximize Collections thereof; provided, however, that (i) such extension or adjustment shall not alter the status of such Receivable as a Defaulted Receivable or limit the rights of the SPV, the Investors, the Funding Agents or the Administrative Agent under this Agreement and (ii) if a Termination Event or Potential Termination Event has occurred and Arrow is still acting as Master Servicer, Arrow may make such extension or adjustment only upon the prior written approval of the Administrative Agent. The SPV shall deliver to the Master Servicer and the Master Servicer shall hold in trust for the SPV and the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Funding Agents on behalf of the Investors, in accordance with their respective interests, all Records which evidence or relate to any Affected Asset. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Administrative Agent shall have the right in its reasonable discretion to direct the Master Servicer (whether Arrow, any other Originator or any other Person is the Master Servicer) to commence or settle any legal action to enforce collection of any Receivable or to foreclose upon or repossess any Affected Asset provided, however, that upon the occurrence of a Termination Event or Potential Termination Event (which Potential Termination Event is not capable of being cured), the Administrative Agent shall have the absolute and unlimited right to so direct the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall not make the Administrative Agent, any Funding Agent or any Investor a party to any litigation without the prior written consent of such Person. At any time when a Termination Event or Potential Termination Event (which Potential Termination Event is not capable of being cured) exists, the Administrative Agent may notify any Obligor of its interest in the Receivables and the other Affected Assets.

(b)            The Master Servicer shall, as soon as practicable following receipt thereof, turn over to the SPV all collections from any Person of indebtedness of such Person which are not on account of a Receivable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article VII, the Master Servicer, if not the SPV, Arrow, any Affiliate of the SPV, or Arrow, shall have no obligation to collect, enforce or take any other action described in this Article VII with respect to any indebtedness that is not included in the Asset Interest other than to deliver to the SPV the Collections and documents with respect to any such indebtedness as described above in this Section 7.2(b).

(c)            The Funding Agents may engage twice during any twelve-month period, commencing October 27, 2010, at the Master Servicer’s sole expense, the services of a specialty audit firm or a firm of independent public accountants that is acceptable to the Funding Agents, to furnish an agreed-upon procedures report to the Funding Agents substantially in compliance with the procedures set forth in Schedule V or any additional procedures as the Funding Agents reasonably deem appropriate; provided that, if the senior unsecured debt of Arrow is rated below BBB- or Baa3 by S&P or Moody’s, respectively, the Funding Agents retain the right to request such reports on a reasonable, more frequent basis, at the Master Servicer’s sole expense. An audit report of such firm shall be delivered to the Funding Agents not later than the last Business Day of each calendar year and at such other times as may be specified by the Administrative Agent.

(d)            Any payment by an Obligor in respect of any indebtedness owed by it to an Originator shall, except as otherwise specified by such Obligor, required by contract or law or clearly indicated by facts or circumstances (including by way of example an equivalence of a payment and the amount of a particular invoice) after due investigation in accordance with such Originator’s Credit and Collection Policy, and unless otherwise instructed by the Administrative Agent, upon the occurrence of a Termination Date, be applied as a Collection of any Receivable of such Obligor (starting with the oldest such Receivable) to the extent of any amounts then due and payable thereunder before being applied to any other receivable or other indebtedness of such Obligor.

SECTION 7.3         Blocked Account Arrangements. Prior to the initial Investment hereunder, the SPV, Arrow and each other Originator shall enter into Blocked Account Agreements with all of the Blocked Account Banks, and deliver original counterparts thereof to the Administrative Agent. Upon the occurrence of a Termination Event or a Potential Termination Event (which Potential Termination Event is not capable of being cured), the Administrative Agent may at any time thereafter give notice to each Blocked Account Bank that the Administrative Agent is exercising its rights under the Blocked Account Agreements to do any or all of the following: (i) to have the exclusive ownership and control of the Blocked Account Accounts transferred to the Administrative Agent and to exercise exclusive dominion and control over the funds deposited therein, (ii) to have the proceeds that are sent to the respective Blocked Accounts be redirected pursuant to its instructions rather than deposited in the applicable Blocked Account, and (iii) to take any or all other actions permitted under the applicable Blocked Account Agreement. Arrow hereby agrees that if the Administrative Agent, at any time, takes any action set forth in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall have exclusive control of the proceeds (including Collections) of all Receivables and Arrow hereby further agrees to take any other action that the Administrative Agent may reasonably request to transfer such control. Any proceeds of Receivables received by Arrow, as Master Servicer or otherwise, thereafter shall be sent immediately to the Administrative Agent. The parties hereto hereby acknowledge that if at any time the Administrative Agent takes control of any Blocked Account, the Administrative Agent shall not have any rights to the funds therein in excess of the unpaid amounts due to SPV, the Administrative Agent and the Investors or any other Person hereunder and the Administrative Agent shall distribute or cause to be distributed such funds in accordance with Section 7.2(b) (including the proviso thereto) and Article II (in each case as if such funds were held by the Master Servicer thereunder); provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall not be under any obligation to remit any such funds to the SPV, Arrow or any other Person unless and until the Administrative Agent has received from such Person evidence satisfactory to the Administrative Agent that the Originator or such Person is entitled to such funds hereunder and under applicable Law.

SECTION 7.4         Enforcement Rights After Designation of New Master Servicer.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this subsection (b), none of the powers conferred upon such attorney-in-fact pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall subject such attorney-in-fact to any liability if any action taken by it shall prove to be inadequate or invalid, nor shall they confer any obligations upon such attorney-in-fact in any manner whatsoever.

(d)            any Event of Bankruptcy shall occur with respect to the Master Servicer or any of its Significant Subsidiaries; or

SECTION 7.6         Servicing Fee. The Master Servicer shall be paid a Servicing Fee in accordance with Section 2.12 and subject to the priorities therein. If the Master Servicer is not the SPV or Arrow or an Affiliate of the SPV or Arrow, the Master Servicer, by giving three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, may revise the percentage used to calculate the Servicing Fee so long as the revised percentage will not result in a Servicing Fee that exceeds [*****]% of the reasonable and appropriate out-of-pocket costs and expenses of such Master Servicer incurred in connection with the performance of its obligations hereunder as documented to the reasonable satisfaction of the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that at any time after the Net Investment, plus Required Reserves exceeds the Net Pool Balance, any compensation to the Master Servicer in excess of the Servicing Fee initially provided for herein shall be an obligation of the SPV and shall not be payable, in whole or in part, from Collections allocated to the Investors.

(a) If after the Closing Date, (x) the adoption of or change in any Law or in the interpretation or application thereof (y) any directive, guidance or request (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or any other Official Body or (z) compliance, application or implementation by any Indemnified Party with the foregoing subclauses (x) or (y):

(i)            imposes or modifies any reserve, fee, tax (other than Taxes which are covered by Section 9.3 or Excluded Taxes), assessment, insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, any liabilities of or any credit or liquidity extended by, any of the Indemnified Parties in respect of or in connection with this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or any Program Support Agreement;

(ii)            has the effect of reducing an Indemnified Party’s rate of return in respect of this Agreement on such Indemnified Party’s capital to a level below that which such Indemnified Party would have achieved but for the occurrences set forth in this subsection (a);

(iii)            affects or would affect the amount of the capital required to be maintained by such Indemnified Party; or

(iv)            causes an internal capital or liquidity charge or other imputed cost to be assessed upon such Indemnified Party, which in the sole discretion of such Indemnified Party is allocable to the SPV or to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to impose a cost on, or increase the cost to, any Indemnified Party of its commitment under any Transaction Document or Program Support Agreement or of purchasing, maintaining or funding any interest acquired under any Transaction Document or Program Support Agreement, then, upon written demand, the SPV shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Indemnified Party such additional amounts as will compensate such Indemnified Party for such new or increased cost. For the avoidance of doubt, the SPV acknowledges that this Section 9.2 permits any Indemnified Party to institute measures in anticipation of a Law (including, without limitation, the imposition of internal charges on the Indemnified Party’s interests or obligations under this Agreement), and allows any Indemnified Party to commence allocating charges to or seeking compensation from the SPV under this Section 9.2 in connection with such measures (such amounts being referred to as “Early Adoption Increased Costs”), in advance of the effective date of such Law, and the SPV agrees to pay such Early Adoption Increased Costs to the Indemnified Party, following demand therefor without regard to whether such effective date has occurred. In the event that any Indemnified Party seeks compensation for Early Adoption Increased Costs from the SPV, such Indemnified Party shall notify each Funding Agent of such request.

(b)            The applicable Funding Agent shall promptly notify the SPV and the Administrative Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle an Indemnified Party to compensation pursuant to this Section 9.2; provided that no failure to give or any delay in giving such notice shall affect the Indemnified Party’s right to receive such compensation. A notice by such Funding Agent or the applicable Indemnified Party claiming compensation under this Section 9.2 and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, such Funding Agent or any applicable Indemnified Party may use any reasonable averaging and attributing methods.

(c)            Anything in this Section 9.2 to the contrary notwithstanding, if any Conduit Investor enters into agreements for the acquisition of interests in receivables from one or more Other SPVs, such Conduit Investor shall allocate the liability for any amounts under this Section 9.2 which are in connection with a Program Support Agreement or the credit or liquidity support provided by a Program Support Provider (“Additional Costs”) to the SPV and each Other SPV; provided, however, that if such Additional Costs are attributable to the SPV, any Originator or the Master Servicer and not attributable to any Other SPV, the SPV shall be solely liable for such Additional Costs or if such Additional Costs are attributable to Other SPVs and not attributable to the SPV, any Originator or the Master Servicer, such Other SPVs shall be solely liable for such Additional Costs.

SECTION 9.3         Taxes.

(a)            All payments and distributions made hereunder by or on behalf of the SPV or the Master Servicer (each, a “payor”) to any Indemnified Party (each, a “recipient”) shall be made 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 (such items being called “Taxes”), unless required by applicable law or administrative practice.

(b)            In the event that any withholding or deduction from any payment made by the payor hereunder is required in respect of any Taxes, then such payor shall:

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

(ii)            promptly forward to the Administrative Agent an official receipt or other documentation satisfactory to the Administrative Agent evidencing such payment to such authority; and

(iii)            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 of Taxes, other than Excluded Taxes been required.

(c)            If any Taxes are directly asserted against any recipient with respect to any payment received by such recipient hereunder, the recipient may pay such Taxes and the payor 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 recipient after the payment of such Taxes other than Excluded Taxes (including any Taxes on such additional amount) shall equal the amount such recipient would have received had such Taxes other than Excluded Taxes not been asserted.

(d)            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 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.

(e)            Each Investor that is not a United States person within the meaning of section 7701(A)(30) of the Code shall on the Closing Date (or if later, the date on which such person first becomes an Investor hereunder by assignment or otherwise) provide to the Administrative Agent to be forwarded to the relevant payor either (i) a duly completed IRS Form W-8ECI, (ii) a duly completed IRS Form W-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, in each case entitling such Investor to a complete exemption from withholding on payments and distributions hereunder (which in the case of a form W-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, is based on its entitlement to exemption under an applicable income tax treaty).

(f)            If a payment made to an Investor under any Transaction Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Investor 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 Investor shall deliver to Arrow and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Arrow or the Administrative Agent 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 Arrow or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for Arrow and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Investor has complied with such Investor’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (f), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(g)            In addition to the obligations under Section 9.3(e), any Indemnified Party that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the applicable payor is resident for tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to any payments made to it shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the applicable payor, at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or as otherwise reasonably requested by the applicable payor or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Indemnified Party, if requested by the applicable payor or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the applicable payor or Administrative Agent as will enable the applicable payor to determine whether or not such Indemnified Party is subject to withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9.3(g), but without limiting any Indemnified Party’s obligations under Section 9.3(e), no Indemnified Party shall be required to deliver any documentation that it is not legally eligible to deliver or that would, in the reasonable judgement of such Indemnified Party, subject such Indemnified Party to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Indemnified Party.

SECTION 9.4         Other Costs and Expenses; Breakage Costs.

(a)            The SPV agrees, upon receipt of a written invoice, to pay or cause to be paid, and to hold the Investors, the Funding Agents and the Administrative Agent harmless against liability for the payment of, all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including attorneys’, accountants’, rating agencies’, and other third parties’ fees and expenses, any filing fees and expenses incurred by officers or employees of any Investor and/or the Administrative Agent) or intangible, documentary or recording taxes incurred by or on behalf of the any Investor, any Funding Agent or the Administrative Agent (i) in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and any documents or instruments delivered pursuant hereto and thereto and the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including the perfection or protection of the Asset Interest) (which payment of attorneys’ fees and expenses, in the case of this clause (i) shall be limited to Dechert LLP, Sidley Austin LLP or any other attorneys’ fees and expenses of an attorney approved in advance by the Master Servicer) and (ii) from time to time (A) relating to any amendments, waivers or consents under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, (B) arising in connection with any Investor’s, any Funding Agent’s or the Administrative Agent’s enforcement or preservation of rights (including the perfection and protection of the Asset Interest under this Agreement), or (C) arising in connection with any dispute, disagreement, litigation or preparation for litigation involving this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents (all of such amounts, collectively, “Transaction Costs”).

(b)            The SPV shall pay the Administrative Agent for the account of each Investor, as applicable, on demand, such amount or amounts as shall compensate such Investor for any loss (including loss of profit), cost or expense incurred by it (as reasonably determined by the applicable Funding Agent) as a result of any reduction of any portion of Investment of such Investor other than on the last day of the related Interest Period (determined without regard for clause (ii) of paragraph (a) of the definition thereof) funding such portion of Investment of such Investor, such compensation to be (i) limited to an amount equal to any loss or expense suffered by the Investors 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 portion of Investment. The determination by the Related Funding Agent of the amount of any such loss or expense shall be set forth in a written notice to the SPV and Administrative Agent in reasonable detail and shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

SECTION 9.5         Reconveyance Under Certain Circumstances. The SPV agrees to accept the reconveyance from the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Funding Agents for the benefit of the Investors, of the Asset Interest if the Administrative Agent notifies SPV of a material breach of any representation or warranty made or deemed made pursuant to Article IV and the SPV shall fail to cure such breach within fifteen (15) days (or, in the case of the representations and warranties in Sections 4.1(d) and 4.1(k), three (3) days) of such notice. The reconveyance price shall be paid by the SPV to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Investors, as applicable in immediately available funds on such 15th day (or 3rd day, if applicable) in an amount equal to the Aggregate Unpaids.

SECTION 9.6         Indemnities by the Master Servicer. Without limiting any other rights which the Administrative Agent, the Funding Agents or the Investors or the other Indemnified Parties may have hereunder or under applicable law, the Master Servicer hereby agrees to indemnify (without recourse, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement) the Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Indemnified Amounts arising out of or resulting from (whether directly or indirectly) (a) the failure of any information contained in any Master Servicer Report (to the extent provided by the Master Servicer) to be true and correct, or the failure of any other information provided to any Indemnified Party by, or on behalf of, the Master Servicer to be true and correct, (b) the failure of any representation, warranty or statement made or deemed made by the Master Servicer (or any of its officers) under or in connection with this Agreement to have been true and correct as of the date made or deemed made, (c) the failure by the Master Servicer to comply with any applicable Law with respect to any Receivable or the related Contract, (d) any dispute, claim, offset or defense of the Obligor to the payment of any Receivable resulting from or related to the collection activities in respect of such Receivable, or (e) any failure of the Master Servicer to perform its duties or obligations in accordance with the provisions hereof.

ARTICLE X

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

SECTION 10.1         Appointment and Authorization of Administrative Agent. Each of the Investors and the Funding Agents hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Transaction Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement and any other Transaction Document, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth in this Agreement, nor shall the Administrative Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Investor or Funding Agent, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

SECTION 10.2         Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any Administrative Agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects with reasonable care.

SECTION 10.3         Liability of Administrative Agent. No Administrative Agent-Related Person shall (a) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (ii) be responsible in any manner to any Investor or Funding Agent for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by the SPV, any Originator or the Master Servicer, or any officer thereof, contained in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or for any failure of the SPV, any Originator, the Master Servicer or any other party to any Transaction Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Administrative Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Investor to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the SPV, any Originator or the Master Servicer or any of their respective Affiliates.

SECTION 10.4         Reliance by Administrative Agent.

(a)            The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the SPV, the Originators and the Master Servicer), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Funding Agents, on behalf of the Conduit Investors or the Majority Investors, as applicable, as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Investors or Funding Agents, as applicable, against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Funding Agents, on behalf of the Conduit Investors or the Majority Investors, as applicable, or, if required hereunder, all Investors and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Funding Agents and Investors.

(b)            For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Article V, each Funding Agent and Investor that has executed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter either sent by the Administrative Agent to such Funding Agent or Investor for consent, approval, acceptance or satisfaction, or required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to such Funding Agent or Investor.

SECTION 10.5         Notice of Termination Event, Potential Termination Event or Master Servicer Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Potential Termination Event, a Termination Event or a Master Servicer Default, unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice from a Funding Agent, an Investor, the Master Servicer or the SPV referring to this Agreement, describing such Potential Termination Event, Termination Event or Master Servicer Default and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Termination Event or Potential Termination Event” or “Notice of Master Servicer Default,” as applicable. The Administrative Agent will notify the Investors and the Funding Agents of its receipt of any such notice. The Administrative Agent shall (subject to Section 10.4) take such action with respect to such Potential Termination Event, Termination Event or Master Servicer Default as may be requested by the Majority Investors (except as otherwise explicitly set forth herein), provided, however, that, unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received any such request, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Potential Termination Event, Termination Event or Master Servicer Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Investors.

SECTION 10.6         Credit Decision; Disclosure of Information by the Administrative Agent. Each Investor and Funding Agent acknowledges that none of the Administrative Agent-Related Persons has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereinafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of the SPV, the Master Servicer, the Originators or any of their respective Affiliates, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Administrative Agent-Related Person to any Investor or Funding Agent as to any matter, including whether the Administrative Agent-Related Persons have disclosed material information in their possession. Each Investor and Funding Agent, including any Investor or Funding Agent by assignment, represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Administrative 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 SPV, the Master Servicer, the Originators 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 SPV hereunder. Each Investor and Funding Agent also represents that it shall, independently and without reliance upon any Administrative 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 Transaction 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 SPV, the Master Servicer or the Originators. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly herein required to be furnished to the Investors or the Funding Agents by the Administrative Agent herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Investor or Funding Agent with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the SPV, the Master Servicer, the Originators or their respective Affiliates which may come into the possession of any of the Administrative Agent-Related Persons.

SECTION 10.7         Indemnification of the Administrative Agent. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, each of the Alternate Investors shall indemnify upon demand each Administrative Agent-Related Person (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of the SPV (including by the Seller under the First Tier Agreement or the Master Servicer hereunder) and without limiting the obligation of the SPV to do so), pro rata based upon such Alternate Investor’s Allocable Portion of Maximum Net Investment relative to the Maximum Net Investment, and hold harmless each Administrative Agent Related Person from and against any and all Indemnified Amounts incurred by it; provided, however, that no Alternate Investor shall be liable for the payment to any Administrative Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Amounts resulting from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct; provided, however, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Majority Investors shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Funding Agent and Alternate Investor shall reimburse the Administrative Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including attorney’s fees) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Transaction Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the SPV (including by the Seller under the First Tier Agreement or the Master Servicer hereunder). The undertaking in this Section shall survive payment on the Final Payout Date and the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 10.8         Administrative Agent in Individual Capacity. Bank of America (and any successor acting as Administrative Agent) and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with any of the SPV, any Originator and the Master Servicer or any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates as though Bank of America were not the Administrative Agent or an Alternate Investor hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Investors or the Funding Agents. The Funding Agents and the Investors acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Bank of America or its Affiliates may receive information regarding the SPV, the Originators, the Master 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, Bank of America (and any successor acting as Administrative Agent) in its capacity as an Alternate Investor hereunder shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Alternate Investor and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent or an Alternate Investor, and the term “Alternate Investor” or “Alternate Investors” shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity.

SECTION 10.9         Resignation of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Funding Agents and the Investors. If the Administrative Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Majority Investors shall appoint from among the Alternate Investors a successor agent for the Investors. 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 Investors and Arrow a successor agent from among the Alternate Investors. 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 retiring 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 10.9 and Sections 10.3 and 10.7 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 may engage a third-party to act as Administrative Agent, after consulting with the SPV, the Master Servicer and the Investors. The Administrative Agent’s resignation shall become effective upon the acceptance of such Person as administrative agent. Any fees payable to the successor administrative agent in excess of the Administrative Fee then payable to the resigning Administrative Agent shall be paid by the Alternate Investors and reimbursed by the SPV as an Aggregate Unpaid.

SECTION 10.10         Payments by the Administrative Agent. Unless specifically allocated to an Alternate Investor or an Indemnified Party pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, all amounts received by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Alternate Investors shall be paid by the Administrative Agent to the Alternate Investors (at their respective accounts specified in their respective Assignment and Assumption Agreements) pro rata in accordance with their respective outstanding funded portions of the Net Investment on the Business Day received by the Administrative Agent, unless such amounts are received after 12:00 noon on such Business Day, in which case the Administrative Agent shall use its reasonable efforts to pay such amounts to the Alternate Investors on such Business Day, but, in any event, shall pay such amounts to the Alternate Investors not later than the following Business Day.

SECTION 10.11         Recovery of Erroneous Payments. Without limitation of any other provision in this Agreement, if at any time the Administrative Agent makes a payment hereunder in error to any Funding Agent or any Investor (the “Credit Party”), whether or not in respect of an Obligation due and owing by the SPV at such time, where such payment is a Rescindable Amount, then in any such event, each Credit Party receiving a Rescindable Amount severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the Rescindable Amount received by such Credit Party in immediately available funds in the currency so received, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such Rescindable Amount is received by it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. Each Credit Party irrevocably waives any and all defenses, including any “discharge for value” (under which a creditor might otherwise claim a right to retain funds mistakenly paid by a third party in respect of a debt owed by another) or similar defense to its obligation to return any Rescindable Amount. The Administrative Agent shall inform each Credit Party promptly upon determining that any payment made to such Credit Party comprised, in whole or in part, a Rescindable Amount.

SECTION 11.2         Waivers; Amendments.

(a)            No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent, any Funding Agent, any Conduit Investor or any Alternate Investor 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)            Any provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by the SPV, Arrow, the applicable Originator, the Master Servicer and the Required Funding Agents (and, if Article X or the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent are affected thereby, by the Administrative Agent, and if the rights or duties of any Funding Agent are affected thereby solely in its role as a Funding Agent and not in its capacity as an Investor, such Funding Agent) and if such amendment is material, the Rating Agencies have provided rating confirmation, to the extent required by the terms and conditions of the commercial paper program of any Conduit Investor, of such Conduit Investor’s Commercial Paper; provided that no such amendment or waiver shall, unless signed by each Alternate Investor directly affected thereby, (i) increase the Commitment of an Alternate Investor, (ii) reduce the Net Investment or change the definition of “Yield” (or any of its component definitions) or reduce any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, (iii) postpone any date fixed for the payment of any scheduled distribution in respect of the Net Investment or Yield with respect thereto or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or for termination of any Commitment, (iv) change the percentage of the Commitments of Alternate Investors which shall be required for the Alternate Investors or any of them to take any action under this Section 11.2(b) or any other provision of this Agreement, (v) change the definition of “Required Reserves” (or any of its component definitions) or the definition of “Delinquency Ratio”, (vi) release any material portion of the property with respect to which a security or ownership interest therein has been granted hereunder to the Administrative Agent or the Alternate Investors, (vii) extend or permit the extension of the Commitment Termination Date (it being understood that a waiver of a Termination Event shall not constitute an extension or increase in the Commitment of any Alternate Investor), (viii) change the required percentage for voting requirements under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or (ix) amend or modify any defined term (or any defined term used directly or indirectly in such defined term) used in clauses (i) through (viii) above in a manner which would circumvent the intention of the restrictions set forth in such clauses; and provided, further, that the signature of the SPV or any Originator shall not be required for the effectiveness of any amendment which modifies the representations, warranties, covenants or responsibilities of the Master Servicer at any time when the Master Servicer is not Arrow or any Affiliate of Arrow or a successor Master Servicer designated by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 7.1. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.2(b), in connection solely with an Additional Commitment Amendment to this Agreement, the consent solely of the SPV, Arrow and the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required and this Agreement shall be amended by such Additional Commitment Amendment if such amendment is in writing and signed by each of the SPV, Arrow and the Administrative Agent and such Additional Commitment Amendment does not increase the Conduit Funding Limit for any Conduit Investor or the Commitment of any Alternate Investor without such Conduit Investor’s and/or Alternate Investor’s consent in its sole discretion.

Except as provided below, all communications and notices provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including facsimile or email or electronic transmission or similar writing) and shall be given to the other party at its address or facsimile number set forth in Schedule 11.3 or at such other address or facsimile number as such party may hereafter specify for the purposes of notice to such party. Each such notice or other communication shall be effective (i) if given by facsimile, when such facsimile is transmitted to the facsimile number specified in this Section 11.3 and confirmation is received, (ii) if given by mail, three (3) Business Days following such posting, if postage prepaid, and if sent via U.S. certified or registered mail, (iii) if given by overnight courier, one (1) Business Day after deposit thereof with a national overnight courier service, or (iv) if given by any other means, when received at the address specified in this Section 11.3, provided that an Investment Request shall only be effective upon receipt by the Administrative Agent. However, anything in this Section 11.3 to the contrary notwithstanding, the SPV hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent, the Funding Agents and the Investors to make investments in Permitted Investments and to make Investments based on telephonic notices made by any Person which the Conduit Investor in good faith believes to be acting on behalf of the SPV. The SPV agrees to deliver promptly to the Administrative Agent, each Funding Agent and Conduit Investor a written confirmation of each telephonic notice signed by an authorized officer of SPV. However, the absence of such confirmation shall not affect the validity of such notice. If the written confirmation differs in any material respect from the action taken by the Administrative Agent, the records of the Administrative Agent shall govern.

SECTION 11.4         Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Appointment of Service Administrative Agent.

(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 COUNTY 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 11.4 SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF THE INVESTORS TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST ANY OF THE SPV, ANY ORIGINATOR OR THE MASTER SERVICER 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)            The SPV and the Master Servicer each hereby appoint, and Arrow shall cause each Originator to appoint, Arrow located at 50 Marcus Drive, Melville, New York 11747, as the authorized agent upon whom process may be served in any action arising out of or based upon this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents to which such Person is a party or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby that may be instituted in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and of any New York State court sitting in The County of New York by any Investor, the Administrative Agent, any Funding Agent or any successor or assignee of any of them.

SECTION 11.5         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.

SECTION 11.6         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.

SECTION 11.7         Counterparts; Facsimile Delivery; Electronic Signatures and Records. 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. Delivery by facsimile of an executed signature page of this Agreement shall be effective as delivery of an executed counterpart hereof. This Agreement and any document, amendment, approval, consent, information, notice, certificate, request, statement, disclosure or authorization related to this Agreement (each a “Communication”), including Communications required to be in writing, may be in the form of an Electronic Record and may be executed using Electronic Signatures. Each of the parties hereto agrees that any Electronic Signature on or associated with any Communication shall be valid and binding on such party to the same extent as a manual, original signature, and that any Communication entered into by Electronic Signature, will constitute its legal, valid and binding obligation enforceable against it in accordance with the terms thereof to the same extent as if a manually executed original signature was delivered. Any Communication may be executed in as many counterparts as necessary or convenient, including both paper and electronic counterparts, but all such counterparts are one and the same Communication. For the avoidance of doubt, the authorization under this paragraph may include, without limitation, use or acceptance by the Administrative Agent and each of the Investors of a manually signed paper Communication which has been converted into electronic form (such as scanned into PDF format), or an electronically signed Communication converted into another format, for transmission, delivery and/or retention. Each of the Administrative Agent and each of the Investors may, at its option, create one or more copies of any Communication in the form of an imaged Electronic Record (“Electronic Copy”), which shall be deemed created in the ordinary course of such Person’s business, and destroy the original paper document. All Communications in the form of an Electronic Record, including an Electronic Copy, shall be considered an original for all purposes, and shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a paper record. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent is under no obligation to accept an Electronic Signature in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by the Administrative Agent pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided, further, without limiting the foregoing, (a) to the extent the Administrative Agent has agreed to accept such Electronic Signature, the Administrative Agent and each of the Investors shall be entitled to rely on any such Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on behalf of the SPV or Master Servicer without further verification and (b) upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Investor, any Electronic Signature shall be promptly followed by such manually executed counterpart. For purposes hereof, “Electronic Record” and “Electronic Signature” shall have the meanings assigned to them, respectively, by 15 USC §7006, as it may be amended from time to time.

SECTION 11.8         Successors and Assigns; Binding Effect.

(a)            This Agreement shall be binding on the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that none of the SPV, the Master Servicer, any Originator (including Arrow) may assign any of its rights or delegate any of its duties hereunder, or under the First Tier Agreement, or under any Originator Sale Agreement, as applicable or under any of the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party without the prior written consent of each Funding Agent. Except as provided in clause (b) below, no provision of this Agreement shall in any manner restrict the ability of any Investor to assign, participate, grant security interests in, or otherwise transfer any portion of the Asset Interest, including without limitation, the right of any Conduit Investor to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to its Related Alternate Investors without the consent of any other party hereto.

(b)            Any Alternate Investor may assign all or any portion of its Commitment and its interest in the Net Investment, the Asset Interest and its other rights and obligations hereunder to any Person with notice to the Administrative Agent and the written approval of the Related Funding Agent, on behalf of the Conduit Investors and, so long as no Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the SPV (which approval of the SPV shall not be unreasonably withheld). In connection with any such assignment, the assignor shall deliver to the assignee(s) an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, duly executed, assigning to such assignee a pro rata interest in such assignor’s Commitment and other obligations hereunder and in the Net Investment, the Asset Interest and other rights hereunder, and such assignor shall promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that the assignee may reasonably request, in order to protect, or more fully evidence the assignee’s right, title and interest in and to such interest and to enable the Administrative Agent, on behalf of such assignee, to exercise or enforce any rights hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents to which such assignor is or, immediately prior to such assignment, was a party. Upon any such assignment, (i) the assignee shall have all of the rights and obligations of the assignor hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents to which such assignor is or, immediately prior to such assignment, was a party with respect to such assignor’s Commitment and interest in the Net Investment and the Asset Interest for all purposes of this Agreement and under the other Transaction Documents to which such assignor is or, immediately prior to such assignment, was a party and (ii) the assignor shall have no further obligations with respect to the portion of its Commitment which has been assigned and shall relinquish its rights with respect to the portion of its interest in the Net Investment and the Asset Interest which has been assigned for all purposes of this Agreement and under the other Transaction Documents to which such assignor is or, immediately prior to such assignment, was a party. No such assignment shall be effective unless a fully executed copy of the related Assignment and Assumption Agreement shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent and the SPV. All costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney fees) of the Administrative Agent, the assignor Alternate Investor and the assignee Alternate Investor incurred in connection with any assignment hereunder shall be borne by the assignor.

(c)            By executing and delivering an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the assignor and assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the assignor makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value or this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or any such other instrument or document; (ii) the assignor makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of the SPV, Arrow, any Originator other than Arrow or the Master Servicer or the performance or observance by the SPV, Arrow, any Originator other than Arrow or the Master Servicer of any of their respective obligations under this Agreement, the First Tier Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, the First Tier Agreement, each other Transaction Document and such other instruments, documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Assumption Agreement and to purchase such interest; (iv) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, or any of its Affiliates, or the assignor and based on such agreements, documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents; (v) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers as provided (and subject to all restrictions set forth) in this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto and to enforce its respective rights and interests in and under this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the Affected Assets; (vi) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents are required to be performed by it as the assignee of the assignor; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will not institute against the Conduit Investor any proceeding of the type referred to in Section 11.11 prior to the date which is one year and one day after the payment in full of all Commercial Paper issued by the Conduit Investor.

(d)            Without limiting the foregoing, a Conduit Investor may, from time to time, with prior or concurrent notice to SPV, the Master Servicer and the Administrative Agent, in one transaction or a series of transactions, assign all or a portion of its Net Investment and its rights and obligations under this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents to which it is a party to a Conduit Assignee. Upon and to the extent of such assignment by the Conduit Investor to a Conduit Assignee, (i) such Conduit Assignee shall be the owner of the assigned portion of the applicable Net Investment, (ii) the related administrator for such Conduit Assignee will act as the Funding Agent for such Conduit Assignee, with all corresponding rights and powers, express or implied, granted to the Related Funding Agent hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents, (iii) such Conduit Assignee and its 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 such Conduit Investor and its Program Support Provider(s) herein and in the other Transaction 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 such Conduit Investor’s obligations, if any, hereunder or any other Transaction Document, and such Conduit Investor shall be released from such obligations, in each case to the extent of such assignment, and the obligations of such Conduit Investor and such Conduit Assignee shall be several and not joint, (v) all distributions in respect of the Net Investment shall be made to the applicable Funding Agent, on behalf of such Conduit Investor and such Conduit Assignee on a pro rata basis according to their respective interests, (vi) [reserved], (vii) the defined terms and other terms and provisions of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents shall be interpreted in accordance with the foregoing, and (viii) if requested by the Funding Agent with respect to the Conduit Assignee, the parties will execute and deliver such further agreements and documents and take such other actions as the Funding Agent may reasonably request to evidence and give effect to the foregoing. No assignment by such Conduit Investor to a Conduit Assignee of all or any portion of the Net Investment shall in any way diminish the Related Alternate Investors’ obligation under Section 2.3 to fund any Investment not funded by such Conduit Investor or such Conduit Assignee or to acquire from the Conduit Investor or such Conduit Assignee all or any portion of the Net Investment pursuant to Section 3.1.

(e)            In the event that a Conduit Investor makes an assignment to a Conduit Assignee in accordance with clause (d) above, the Related Alternate Investors: (i) if requested by the applicable Funding Agent, shall terminate their participation in the applicable Program Support Agreement to the extent of such assignment, (ii) if requested by the applicable Funding Agent, shall execute (either directly or through a participation agreement, as determined by such Funding Agent) 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 Alternate Investor with respect to the applicable Program Support Agreement (or which shall be otherwise reasonably satisfactory to such Funding Agent and the Alternate Investors), (iii) if requested by such Conduit Investor, shall enter into such agreements as requested by such Conduit Investor pursuant to which they shall be obligated to provide funding to such Conduit Assignee on substantially the same terms and conditions as is provided for in this Agreement in respect of such Conduit Investor (or which agreements shall be otherwise reasonably satisfactory to such Conduit Investor and the Related Alternate Investors), and (iv) shall take such actions as the Administrative Agent and the Funding Agent shall reasonably request in connection therewith.

(f)            Each of the SPV, the Master Servicer and Arrow hereby agrees and consents to the assignment by a Conduit Investor from time to time of all or any part of its rights under, interest in and title to this Agreement and the Asset Interest to any Program Support Provider.

(g)            Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any Investor may at any time pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its rights (including, without limitation, any portion of Investment and any rights to payment of Yield and Fees) under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Investor to a Federal Reserve Bank, without notice to or consent of the SPV or the Administrative Agent; provided, that no such pledge or grant of a security interest shall release an Investor from any of its obligations hereunder, or substitute any such pledgee or grantee for such Investor as a party hereto.

(h)            For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, each Conduit Investor may at any time pledge, grant a security interest in or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its interest in the Affected Assets or under this Agreement to a Collateral Trustee, in each case without notice to or consent of the SPV or the Servicer, but such pledge, grant or transfer shall not relieve any such Conduit Investor from its obligations hereunder.

SECTION 11.9         Waiver of Confidentiality. Each of the SPV, the Master Servicer and Arrow hereby consents to the disclosure, solely for the purposes related to the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby, of any non-public information with respect to it received by the Administrative Agent, any Funding Agent, or any Investor to any other Investor or potential Investor, the Administrative Agent, any nationally recognized statistical rating organization rating a Conduit Investor’s Commercial Paper, any dealer or placement agent of or depositary for such Conduit Investor’s Commercial Paper, its administrator, any Collateral Trustee, any Program Support Provider or any of such Person’s counsel or accountants in relation to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

SECTION 11.10         Confidentiality Agreement. Each of the SPV, the Master Servicer and Arrow (collectively, the “Arrow Parties”) on the one hand, and each of the Administrative Agent, each Investor and each Funding Agent (collectively, the “Investor Parties”), on the other hand, hereby agrees that it will not disclose the contents of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any other proprietary or confidential information of or with respect to any Arrow Party (in the case of the Investor Parties) or with respect to any Investor, the Funding Agent, the Administrative Agent or any Program Support Provider (in the case of the Arrow Parties) to any other Person except (a) its auditors and attorneys, employees or financial advisors (other than any commercial bank) and any nationally recognized statistical rating organization, provided such auditors, attorneys, employees, financial advisors or rating agencies are informed of the highly confidential nature of such information, (b) to any commercial paper conduits and their related funding agents and alternate investors in connection with an Additional Commitment Amendment, (c) as otherwise required by applicable law or order of a court of competent jurisdiction or (d) by each Investor (or any administrative agent on its behalf), to a nationally recognized statistical rating organization in compliance with Rule 17g-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (or to any other rating agency in compliance with any similar rule or regulation in any relevant jurisdiction). For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent does not prohibit any individual from communicating or disclosing information regarding suspected violations of laws, rules, or regulations to a governmental, regulatory, or self-regulatory authority.

SECTION 11.11         No Bankruptcy Petition Against the Conduit Investors. Each of the SPV, the Master Servicer and Arrow hereby covenants and agrees that, prior to the date which is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding Commercial Paper or other rated indebtedness of the Conduit Investors, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, any Conduit Investor any proceeding of a type referred to in the definition of Event of Bankruptcy.

SECTION 11.12         No Recourse Against Conduit Investors, Stockholders, Officers or Directors. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the obligations of the Conduit Investors under this Agreement and all other Transaction Documents are solely the corporate obligations of the Conduit Investors and shall be payable solely to the extent of funds received from the SPV in accordance herewith or from any party to any Transaction Document in accordance with the terms thereof in excess of funds necessary to pay matured and maturing Commercial Paper, and to the extent funds are not available to pay such obligations, the claims relating thereto shall not constitute a claim against the Conduit Investors but shall continue to accrue. Each party hereto agrees that the payment of any claim (as defined in Section 101 of Title 11 of the Bankruptcy Code) of any such party shall be subordinated to the payment in full of all Commercial Paper. No recourse under any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Conduit Investors contained in this Agreement shall be had against any stockholder, employee, officer, director, manager, administrator, agent or incorporator of the Conduit Investors or beneficial owner of any of them, as such, by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, by virtue of any statute or otherwise; it being expressly agreed and understood that this Agreement is solely a corporate obligation of the Conduit Investors, and that no personal liability whatsoever shall attach to or be incurred by any stockholder, employee, officer, director, manager, administrator, agent or incorporator of the Conduit Investors or beneficial owner of any of them, as such, or any of them, under or by reason of any of the obligations, covenants or agreements of the Conduit Investors contained in this Agreement, or implied therefrom, and that any and all personal liability for breaches by the Conduit Investors of any of such obligations, covenants or agreements, either at common law or at equity, or by statute or constitution, of every such stockholder, employee, officer, director, manager, administrator, agent or incorporator of the Conduit Investors or beneficial owner of any of them is hereby expressly waived as a condition of and consideration for the execution of this Agreement; provided, however, that this Section 11.12 shall not relieve any such stockholder, employee, officer, director, manager, agent or incorporator of the Conduit Investor or beneficial owner of any of them of any liability it might otherwise have for its own intentional misrepresentation or willful misconduct. Bankers Trust Company shall have no obligation, in its capacity as program administrator for Victory Receivables Corporation or otherwise, to take any actions under the Transaction Documents if Bankers Trust Company is relieved of its obligations as program administrator for Victory Receivables Corporation.

SECTION 11.13         U.S. Patriot Act. Each Investor that is subject to the Act (as hereinafter defined) and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Investor) hereby notifies the SPV that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the SPV, which information includes the name and address of the SPV and other information that will allow such Investor or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the SPV in accordance with the Act. The SPV shall, promptly following a request by the Administrative Agent or any Investor, provide all documentation and other information that the Administrative Agent or such Investor requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the Act.

SECTION 11.14         Acknowledgment and Consent to Bail-in of EEA Financial Institutions.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(a)            the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and

(b)            the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

(i)            a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

(ii)            a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

(iii)            the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.

SECTION 11.15         ~~Acknowledgement~~Acknowledgment Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Transaction Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any swap contract or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support”, and each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Transaction Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

(a)            In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Transaction Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Transaction Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a defaulting Purchaser or Agent shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

(b)            As used in this Section 11.15, the following terms have the following meanings:

“BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.

“Covered Entity” means any of the following: (i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b); (ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or (iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).

“Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable. “QFC” has the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D).

“QFC” has the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D).

Section 2.4 of the Agreement shall be read in its entirety as follows:

SECTION 2.4 Determination of Yield and Interest Periods

(a)          Yield. The Net Investment shall accrue Yield at the Rate Types specified and determined in accordance with this Section 2.4.

(b)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the SPV or Required Funding Agents notify the Administrative Agent (with, in the case of the Required Funding Agents, a copy to the SPV) that the SPV or Required Funding Agents (as applicable) have determined, that:

(i)            adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining Term SOFR, including without limitation, because the Term SOFR Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or

(ii)           CME or any successor administrator of the Term SOFR Screen Rate or an Official Body having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent or such administrator with respect to its publication of Term SOFR, in each case, acting in such capacity, has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which Term SOFR or the Term SOFR Screen Rate shall or will no longer be made available, or permitted to be used for determining the interest rate of U.S. dollar denominated syndicated loans, or shall or will otherwise cease, provided that, at the time of such statement, there is no successor administrator that is satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, that will continue to provide Term SOFR after such specific date (the latest date on which Term SOFR or the Term SOFR Screen Rate are no longer available, permanently or indefinitely, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”);

then, on a date and time determined by the Administrative Agent (any such date, the “Term SOFR Replacement Date”), which date shall be at the end of an Interest Period or on the relevant interest payment date, as applicable, for interest calculated and, solely with respect to clause (ii) above, no later than the Scheduled Unavailability Date, Term SOFR will be replaced hereunder and under any Transaction Document with Daily Simple SOFR for any payment period for interest calculated that can be determined by the Administrative Agent, in each case, without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (Daily Simple SOFR, or a successor rate as determined in accordance with Section 2.4(c), as applicable, the “Successor Rate”).

(c)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) if the Administrative Agent determines that Daily Simple SOFR is not available on or prior to the Term SOFR Replacement Date, or (ii) if the events or circumstances of the type described in Section 2.4(b)(i) or (ii) above have occurred with respect to the Successor Rate then in effect, then, in each case, the Administrative Agent and the SPV may amend this Agreement solely for the purpose of replacing Term SOFR or any then current Successor Rate in accordance with this Section 2.4 at the end of any Interest Period, relevant interest payment date or payment period for interest calculated, as applicable, with an alternative benchmark rate giving due consideration to any evolving or then-existing convention for similar U.S. dollar denominated credit facilities syndicated and agented in the United States for such alternative benchmark, and, in each case, including any mathematical or other adjustments to such benchmark giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. dollar denominated credit facilities syndicated and agented in the United States for such benchmark, which adjustment or method for calculating such adjustment shall be published on an information service as selected by the Administrative Agent from time to time in its reasonable discretion and may be periodically updated. For the avoidance of doubt, any such proposed rate and adjustments, shall constitute a “Successor Rate”.

Any Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided that to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent, such Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding anything else herein, if at any time any Successor Rate as so determined would otherwise be less than zero, the Successor Rate will be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

In connection with the implementation of a Successor Rate, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement; provided that, with respect to any such amendment effected, the Administrative Agent shall post each such amendment implementing such Conforming Changes to the SPV and the Investors reasonably promptly after such amendment becomes effective.

(d)            Inability to Determine Term SOFR; Change in Legality.

(i)            If any Funding Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto absent manifest error) before the first day of any Interest Period that: (a) no Successor Rate has been determined in accordance with this Section 2.4, and the circumstances under clause (i) of Section 2.4(d) or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred; (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist or determining Term SOFR for such Interest Period; (c) Term SOFR does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Investors (as conclusively determined by such Funding Agent) or maintaining any portion of its Investment during such Interest Period or (d) dollar deposits in the relevant amounts and for the relevant Interest Period are not available, then the applicable Funding Agent shall promptly give telephonic notice of such determination, confirmed in writing, to the SPV and the Administrative Agent before the first day of any Interest Period. Upon delivery of such notice: (a) no portion of Investments shall be funded thereafter at Term SOFR unless and until such Funding Agents shall have given notice to the SPV and the Administrative Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist and (b) with respect to any outstanding portion of Investments then funded at Term SOFR, the Yield Rate with respect to such portion of Investment shall automatically be converted to the Base Rate on the last day of the then-current Interest Period.

Upon receipt of such notice, until the applicable Funding Agent notifies the SPV and the Administrative Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer apply, (a) no portion of Investment shall be funded thereafter at Term SOFR unless and until such Investor shall have given notice to the Administrative Agent and the SPV that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist and (b) with respect to any outstanding portion of Investment then funded at Term SOFR, the Yield Rate with respect to such portion of Investment shall automatically be converted to the Base Rate on the last day of the then-current Interest Period.

Schedule IV-1

SCHEDULE V

AGREED UPON PROCEDURES

1.             Monthly Report – Originator Level

Verify the accuracy of the monthly reports for Month#1 and Month#2.

Determine whether the items shown on the monthly report complies with the terms of the TAA, such as proper reporting of the rollforward and aging and proper calculation of ineligibles.

Verify the accuracy of the large obligor (concentrations) and payable and contra information provided to the corporate location for possible inclusion in the consolidated monthly report.

Trace line items to supporting documentation (and to the general ledger, if applicable), including tracing cash back to the bank statements. Recalculate line items.

2.             Monthly Report – Consolidated / Consolidating

Verify the accuracy of the monthly report for Month#1 and Month#2.

Determine whether the rollforward, aging, and eligible receivables are accurately stated by tracing line items for the various originators to the consolidating schedule.

Recalculate the consolidated ratios in accordance with the definitions in the TAA.

Review supporting documentation for determining the obligor concentrations. Ascertain that the concentration information was accurately included in the consolidating and consolidated concentration information.

Prepare a chart of the line items analyzed and a comparison of the company prepared figures to those you recomputed. Briefly describe the nature of the supporting documentation for each line item.

3.             Obligor Concentration

Ask management to provide you with an aged listing of the 10 largest obligors (aggregating exposure among affiliated obligors) at month end Month#2. Verify the accuracy of this information on a sample basis by tracing amounts to the summary or detailed aged receivable trial balance. Include the payment terms granted to each obligor in your exhibit. Attach this listing as an exhibit to your report.

4.             Aging

For Month#1 and Month#2, obtain the reconciliation of the aging per monthly report to the aged trial balance & the general ledger. Describe the nature of any significant reconciling items. Note the timeliness of completion. Summarize each of the reconciliations and include the details for each significant reconciling item in the report.

Schedule V-1

Include a description of the aging methodology in your report (i.e. DPI). Describe how unapplied amounts and/or partial payments affect an account’s aging status.

Select 10 invoices from among the various aging categories at month end Month#2, and:

Determine if the accounts are being properly aged in accordance with the terms and methodology. Note any accounts that may be aged in a non-conforming manner.

Determine whether the terms of payment on the sale receipt would make the sales receipt ineligible for purchase. If so, determine if the company is properly excluding such invoices from sale to the conduits.

Obtain the related documentation pertaining to proof of delivery. Determine that the invoices were issued either coincident with or subsequent to the purchase of goods.

Prepare a listing of the accounts analyzed with an indication of the aging accuracy, the payment terms as stated on the face of the invoice, which entity the invoice relates to, and reason for delinquency, if any.

Verify the originator name listed on each invoice and whether the name matches the name of an Originator listed in the underlying transaction documents and indicate whether the Originator is eligible.

Discuss with management the magnitude of accounts/invoices in the aging at the end of Month#2 that have been extended, modified or restructured.

Ask management to provide an aging of debit balances only as of a recent month end (i.e. no credits in the aging buckets). Compare debit balance aging totals to the aging on the monthly report. Recalculate the delinquency ratio based on debit balance aging and compare it to the ratio reported on the monthly report.

5.            Dilution - Credit Memos & Rebills

Select 30 credit memos that were issued in the last 2-3 months (SPECIFIED MONTHS). Compute the weighted average dilution horizon (WADH). Prepare a table summarizing the WADH by entity and by type (returns, discounts, allowances, rebates, etc.) of credit memo. In addition, compare this year’s WADH with what was calculated in the prior audit.

6.            Invoice Resolution Test

Select a sample of 10 invoices dating from Month 200X (three months prior) and trace these invoices through to resolution (i.e. collection, dilution, write-off, or delinquent). Prepare a listing of each invoice analyzed and include this detailed information in an exhibit to your report. Be sure to include the payment terms on the face of invoice your exhibit.

7.            Delinquent Obligors

Obtain from management a listing of the 10 obligors that comprise the largest portion of the 61-90 DPI aging bucket at month end Month#2. Note what actions have been taken by management to expedite payment and the expected resolution. Inquire as to the reasons for material past due amounts. In your report, note whether or not these balances were paid as of the date of fieldwork. Include this analysis as an exhibit to your report.

Schedule V-2

8.            Write-offs

Obtain an understanding of the method used to write off uncollectible accounts (i.e.: write off to an accrued allowance account or write off directly to the bad debt expense). Review the appropriate general ledger account (e.g. bad debt allowance account) for conformity with the write offs reported on the Receivables Rollforward. Provide an explanation for any variances noted.

Obtain from management the 5 largest write-offs in the 6-12 months ended Month#2. Obtain an explanation for each write-off and determine which aging bucket these receivable amounts were in at the time they were written-off. Be sure to include the date of the write-off in your analysis. Include this analysis as an exhibit to your report.

9.            Collection Methodology

Obtain a current listing of the lockbox/collection account(s) into which collections on purchased receivables are deposited. Compare this to the listing presented in the TAA.

Examine the most recent bank statement/general ledger reconciliations for the 1-2 largest lockbox/collection account(s), noting the timeliness of completion and materiality of any unreconciled variances. Which entity’s name is on each of these bank statements?

Ask management to prepare a schedule for Month#1 and Month#2 summarizing collections by obligor remittance location.

~~SECTION 1.13~~ Location of Remittance	~~SECTION 11.17~~ ~~Bank Name~~ ~~SECTION 11.18~~Bank Name Account Number Account Holder~~SECTION 11.19~~ ~~Account Holder~~	~~ARTICLE XII~~ ~~Month #1~~ ~~ARTICLE XIII~~Month #1 ($000’s)	~~ARTICLE XIV~~	~~ARTICLE XV~~ Month #2 ($000’s)	%

(b) Less: Non-AR related Deposits
(c) ~~SSubtotal~~Subtotal		$	100%	$	100%
(d) +/- Reconciling items
(e) Total Collections per Monthly Report		$		$

Schedule V-3

Verify the accuracy of the information on the Excel spreadsheet by tracing the data to the bank statements, accounting records, and the monthly report. Explain any large reconciling items.

If any of the collections are remitted directly to the company’s offices, ask management where (bank name & account number) these in-house receipts are eventually deposited. If the amount of monthly in-house collections cannot be precisely quantified, ask for an estimate. Also, describe how promptly such collections are being deposited into the bank account (i.e. are the payments deposited within 2 business days or do they wait until the end of the week before making the deposit?).

10.          Cash Applications Test

Select a sample of 5 cash receipts from a recent cash collections report and determine if the cash was applied to the correct invoices and if the paid invoices were promptly removed from the aging. (In your sample, attempt to select one receipt from each of the remittance locations noted in the preceding step.)

11.          Credit & Collection Policy / Credit File Review

Inquire as to any material changes/updates in the Credit and Collection Policy since Month [20XX]. If so, obtain a copy of any revisions. If not, inquire if any changes are being planned.

Select [3-5] credit files for a sample active new receivable obligors (i.e. recently granted credit for the first time) in the last 6-12 months. Test adherence to the company’s Credit Policy, including: proper credit approval, recency/date of financial information (D&B, financial statements), credit references, adherence to credit limit, etc. Prepare a listing of the files analyzed, noting your results and the adequacy of compliance with the required terms.

12.          Daily Balances

Obtain the daily receivable balances for Month#1 and Month#2 (OR use daily sales and daily collections to create a pro-forma daily AR balance). Graph this information and include both the underlying data and the graph in your report.

13.          Contras/Payables Concentration

Inquire of management regarding any known contra accounts. For any known contra accounts, obtain the receivable balance and the payable balance at month end Month#2. Confirm that any contra offset amounts are included in the ineligible receivables calculation. Attach your analysis as an exhibit to the report.

14.          Accounting Entries Relating to the Transaction

Determine whether the receivables being transferred were done so in accordance with the Sale Agreement and TAA by reviewing the most recent the journal entries made on the books & records of the various entities involved. In each case, be sure to note the date the entries were recorded, trace the journal entries to the respective general ledgers, and attach copies of the journal entries to your report.

Schedule V-4

Review the entries made on the books & records of Arrow Electronics, Inc., Arrow Enterprises Computing Solutions, Inc. (“Originators”) to reflect the sale of the receivables to Arrow Electronics Funding Corporation (“SPE”). Note whether or not the funds received by Originator from the SPE were commensurate with the value of the receivables transferred. What discount rate was used by the Originator? Ask management to provide (ideally in writing) the rationale behind the establishment of the discount rate.

Review the entries made on the books & records of the SPE to reflect the purchase of receivables from the Originator.

Review the entries made on the books & records of SPE to reflect the sale of an interest in the receivables to the conduit(s). Note that the initial funding date was [XX/XX/XX].

15.           Computer Systems & Reporting

Determine whether the master data processing records are marked with a legend in accordance with the terms of the TAA to indicate the ownership interest. Ascertain the coding used to identify the purchased receivables on the system. Briefly describe the legend and the coding in your report. Is there a header or note on the aging indicating that the receivables are no longer owned by the Originators (Arrow Electronics, Inc., Arrow Enterprises Computing Solutions, Inc.)?

How is the fact that the receivables are securitized reflected on the Originators’ (Arrow Electronics, Inc., Arrow Enterprises Computing Solutions, Inc.) general ledger?

Inquire of management if any significant changes have been made to the computer systems used in servicing the receivables since [XX/XX/XX]. If so, document any changes. If not, inquire as to whether any changes are being planned.

Inquire of management when Arrow Electronics, Inc. (“Servicer or Originator”) last tested its disaster recovery plan, what the results were, how any issues were addressed, and when the next disaster recovery test will be conducted.

16.           Audits - Internal & External

Inquire if Internal Auditors have performed any reviews of the credit procedures and/or receivable system during [20XX/the last twelve months]. Review copies of any internal audit reports. Include in your report a list of any issues that may pertain to the receivables being purchased and related areas (i.e. EDP, collections, invoicing or general ledger systems) and how these issues have been/will be addressed. Discuss with the Internal Auditors their planned schedule of coverage in [20XX/the next twelve months].

Discuss with the Public Accounting Firm (“External Auditors” or [AUDIT FIRM NAME]) the results from the receivable confirmation procedures performed in connection with the [XX/XX/XX] FYE financial audit of the Servicer or Originator – Arrow Electronics, Inc. If possible, quantify the extent of the coverage and specify the type of procedures used (negative/positive confirmations, subsequent cash receipts), noting any issues.

Schedule V-5

Obtain a copy of the Management Letter (if any) prepared in conjunction with the [XX/XX/XX] FYE financial audit of the Servicer. Note any weaknesses identified in the Servicer’s receivable operations and/or related controls (i.e. EDP and general ledger systems). Discuss the current status of these issues with management.

Regarding the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requirements, review the 10K filing (Annual report - SEC, EDGAR, or Company’s website). State in your report the External Auditor’s opinion on the effectiveness of the client’s internal controls. If any deficiencies are noted in their opinion, discuss with management steps taken to resolve any deficiencies relating to receivables.

17.           Seller/Originator

Ask management to provide details regarding any events that may impact the UCC Financing Statement filings such as mergers, acquisitions, asset sales, or any changes in corporate names, location of chief executive offices, location of books and records relative to receivables. Provide a legal organizational chart indicating where receivables are originated. Validate the listing matches the Originators listed in the underlying documents.

8.            The Assignee shall not be required to fund hereunder an aggregate amount at any time outstanding in excess of $[___________], minus the aggregate outstanding amount of any interest funded by the Assignee in its capacity as a participant under any Program Support Agreement.

Form of Opinion of Robert E. Klatell, Counsel to SPV, Originators and Master Servicer

March __, 2001

To the parties listed on Schedule A
annexed hereto

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This opinion is furnished to you pursuant to Section 5.1(m) of the Transfer and Administration Agreement dated as of March 21, 2001 (the “Agreement”) among Arrow Electronics Funding Corporation, as transferor (in such capacity, the “SPV”), Arrow Electronics, Inc., individually (“Arrow”) and as master servicer (in such capacity, the “Master Servicer”), the parties thereto as “Conduit Investors,” “Alternate Investors” and “Funding Agents,” and Bank of America, National Association, as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given such terms in the Agreement.

I have acted as counsel to Arrow, Gates/Arrow Distributing, Inc. (together with Arrow, the Applicable Originators) (in connection with the preparation of the Agreement, the Originator Sale Agreement, the First Tier Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby.

I have examined, on the date hereof, the Agreement and all exhibits thereto, the First Tier Agreement and all exhibits thereto, each Originator Sale Agreement, certificates of public officials and of officers of the SPV, Arrow and the other Originators and certified copies of Arrow’s, the others Originator’s and the SPV’s certificate of incorporation, by-laws, the Board of Directors’ resolutions authorizing Arrow’s, the other Originator’s and the SPV’s participation in the transactions contemplated by the Agreement, the Originator Sale Agreement, the First Tier Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, copies of each of the above having been delivered to you. I have also examined the closing documents delivered pursuant to the Agreement, the Originator Sale Agreement and the First Tier Agreement and copies of all such documents and records, and have made such investigations of law, as we have deemed necessary and relevant as a basis for our opinion. With respect to the accuracy of material factual matters which were not independently established, we have relied on certificates and statements of officers of Arrow, the other Originators and the SPV.

On the basis of the foregoing, I am of the opinion that:

1.            ~~22.~~ Each of the Applicable Originators is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its respective state or jurisdiction of formation, has the corporate power and authority to own its properties and to carry on its business as now being conducted, and had at all relevant times, and now has, all necessary power, authority, and legal right to acquire and own the Receivables and other Affected Assets, and is duly qualified and in good standing as a foreign corporation and is authorized to do business in each jurisdiction in which the character of its properties or the nature of its business requires such qualification or authorization.

Exhibit I-1-1

2.            ~~23.~~ Each of the Applicable Originators has the power, corporate and other, and has taken all necessary corporate action to execute, deliver and perform the Agreement, the First Tier Agreement, the Originator Sale Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, each in accordance with its respective terms, and to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby. The Transaction Documents to which each of Arrow and the other Originators is a party have been duly executed and delivered by Arrow and the other Originators, as applicable, and constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of each such party, enforceable against such party in accordance with their terms, except as enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency and other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles.

3.            ~~24.~~ The execution, delivery and performance in accordance with their terms by each of Arrow and the other Originators of the First Tier Agreement, Originator Sale Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, do not and will not (i) require (a) any governmental approval or (b) any consent or approval of any stockholder of Arrow or any of the other Originators that has not been obtained, (ii) violate or conflict with, result in a breach of, or constitute a default under (a) the certificate of incorporation or the by-laws of Arrow or any of the other Originators, or (b) any other agreement to which Arrow or any of the other Originators is a party or by which Arrow or any of the other Originators or any of their respective properties may be bound, or (iii) result in or require the creation or imposition of any Adverse Claim upon any of the assets, property or revenue of Arrow or any of the other Originators other than as contemplated by the First Tier Agreement or the Originator Sale Agreement, as applicable.

4.            ~~25.~~ Except as set forth in the schedules attached hereto, there are not, in any court or before any arbitrator of any kind or before or by any governmental or non-governmental body, any actions, suits, proceedings, litigation or investigations, pending or to the best of our knowledge, after due inquiry, threatened, (i) against the Arrow or any of the other Originators or the business or any property of such parties except actions, suits or proceedings that, if adversely determined, would not, singly or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) relating to the First Tier Agreement, the Originator Sale Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

5.            ~~26.~~ None of Arrow or any other Originator is, or is controlled by, an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

The foregoing opinions and conclusions were given only in respect of the laws of [insert state or other jurisdiction], the State of New York and, to the extent specifically referred to herein, the Federal laws of the United States of America.

This opinion has been delivered at your request for the purposes contemplated by the Agreement. Without our prior written consent, this opinion is not to be utilized or quoted for any other purpose and no one other than you is entitled to rely thereon; provided, that any Alternate Investor, any Program Support Provider and any placement Agent or dealer of the Conduit Investor’s commercial paper may rely on this opinion as of it were addressed to them.

Very truly yours,

Exhibit I-1-2

Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given such terms in the Agreement.

We have acted as counsel to Arrow, the other Originators and the SPV in connection with the preparation of the Agreement, the Originator Sale Agreement, the First Tier Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby.

We have examined, on the date hereof, the Agreement and all exhibits thereto, the First Tier Agreement and all exhibits thereto, the Originator Sale Agreement, certificates of public officials and of officers of the SPV, Arrow and the other Originators and certified copies of Arrow’s, the others Originator’s and the SPV’s certificate of incorporation, by-laws, the Board of Directors’ resolutions authorizing Arrow’s, the other Originator’s and the SPV’s participation in the transactions contemplated by the Agreement, the Originator Sale Agreement, the First Tier Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, copies of each of the above having been delivered to you, copies of the financing statements on Form UCC-1 filed in the filing offices listed in Schedule I hereto executed by each Originator (other than Arrow), as debtor, in favor of Arrow, as secured party and showing the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Funding Agents (on behalf of the Conduit Investors and the Alternate Investor), as the assignee of the secured party substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Originator Financing Statements”), copies of the financing statements filed on Form UCC-1 filed in the filing offices listed in Schedule II hereto executed by Arrow, as debtor, in favor of the SPV, as secured party and showing the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Funding Agents (on behalf of the Conduit Investors and the Alternate Investors), as the assignee of the secured party, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Arrow Financing Statements”) and copies of the financing statements on Form UCC-1 filed in the filing offices listed in Schedule III hereto executed by SPV, as debtor, in favor of the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Funding Agents (on behalf of the Conduit Investors and the Alternate Investors), as secured party, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “SPV Financing Statements”). We have also examined the closing documents delivered pursuant to the Agreement, the Originator Sale Agreement and the First Tier Agreement and copies of all such documents and records, and have made such investigations of law, as we have deemed necessary and relevant as a basis for our opinion. With respect to the accuracy of material factual matters which were not independently established, we have relied on certificates and statements of officers of Arrow, the other Originators and the SPV.

Exhibit I-2-1

On the basis of the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

1.            ~~27.~~ The SPV is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, has the corporate power and authority to own its properties and to carry on its business as now being conducted, and had at all relevant times, and now has, all necessary power, authority, and legal right to acquire and own the Receivables and other Affected Assets, and is duly qualified and in good standing as a foreign corporation and is authorized to do business in each jurisdiction in which the character of its properties or the nature of its business requires such qualification or authorization.

2.            ~~28.~~ The SPV has the power, corporate and other, and has taken all necessary corporate action to execute, deliver and perform the Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, each in accordance with its respective terms, and to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby. The Transaction Documents to which the SPV is a party have been duly executed and delivered by the SPV and constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the SPV enforceable against the SPV in accordance with their terms, except as enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency and other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles.

3.            ~~29.~~ The execution, delivery and performance in accordance with their terms by the SPV of the Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, do not and will not (i) require (a) any governmental approval or (b) any consent or approval of any stockholder of the SPV that has not been obtained, (ii) violate or conflict with, result in a breach of, or constitute a default under (a) the certificate of incorporation or the by-laws of the SPV, (b) any other agreement to which the SPV is a party or by which the SPV or any of its properties may be bound, or (c) any Law applicable to the SPV of any court or of any Official Body having jurisdiction over the SPV or any of its properties, or (iii) result in or require the creation or imposition of any Adverse Claim upon any of the assets, property or revenue of the SPV other than as contemplated by the Agreement.

4.            ~~30.~~ The execution, delivery and performance in accordance with their terms by each of Arrow and the other Originators of the First Tier Agreement, Originator Sale Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, do not and will not (i) require (a) any governmental approval or (b) any consent or approval of any stockholder of Arrow or any of the other Originators that has not been obtained, (ii) violate or conflict with, result in a breach of, or constitute a default under (a) the certificate of incorporation or the by-laws of Arrow or any of the other Originators, (b) any other agreement to which Arrow or any of the other Originators is a party or by which Arrow or any of the other Originators or any of their respective properties may be bound, or (c) any Law applicable to Arrow or any of the other Originators of any Official Body having jurisdiction over Arrow or any of the other Originators or any of its properties, or (iii) result in or require the creation or imposition of any Adverse Claim upon any of the assets, property or revenue of Arrow or any of the other Originators other than as contemplated by the First Tier Agreement or the Originator Sale Agreement, as applicable.

Exhibit I-2-2

5.            ~~31.~~ Except as set forth in the schedules attached hereto, there are not, in any court or before any arbitrator of any kind or before or by any governmental or non-governmental body, any actions, suits, proceedings, litigation or investigations, pending or to the best of our knowledge, after due inquiry, threatened, (i) against the SPV or the business or any property of the SPV except actions, suits or proceedings that, if adversely determined, would not, singly or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) relating to the Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

6.            ~~32.~~ Except as set forth in the schedules attached hereto, there are not, in any court or before any arbitrator of any kind or before or by any governmental or non-governmental body, any actions, suits, proceedings, litigation or investigations, pending or to the best of our knowledge, after due inquiry, threatened, (i) against the Arrow or any of the other Originators or the business or any property of such parties except actions, suits or proceedings that, if adversely determined, would not, singly or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) relating to the First Tier Agreement, the Originator Sale Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

7.            ~~33.~~ The Receivables constitute “accounts” or “general intangibles” as that term is defined in the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York.

8.            ~~34.~~ The Originator Sale Agreement creates a valid and enforceable security interest (as that term is defined in Section 1-201(37) of the Uniform Commercial Code (including the conflict of laws rules thereof) (the “UCC”) as in effect in New York (the “New York UCC”) and [insert reference to applicable jurisdiction], under Article 9 of the New York UCC [and under similar provisions of applicable jurisdiction] (“Originator Sale Security Interest”) in favor of the SPV in the Receivables and other Affected Assets and the proceeds thereof (except that the First Tier Security Interest will attach to any Receivable created after the date hereof only when the Originator possesses rights in such Receivable). The internal laws of [insert state or other jurisdiction] govern the perfection by the filing of financing statements of the Originator Sale Security Interest in the Receivables and the proceeds thereof. The Originator Financing Statement(s) have been filed in the filing office(s) located in [insert state or other jurisdiction] listed in Schedule I hereto, which [is] [are] the only office(s) in which filings are required under the [insert state or other jurisdiction] UCC to perfect the Originator Sale Security Interest in the Receivables and the proceeds thereof, and accordingly the Originator Sale Security Interest in each Receivable and the proceeds thereof will, on the date of the initial transfer under the First Tier Agreement, be perfected under Article 9 of the [insert state or other jurisdiction] UCC. All filing fees and all taxes required to be paid as a condition to or upon the filing of the Originator Financing Statement(s) in [insert state or other jurisdiction] have been paid in full. As of the date hereof, there were no (i) UCC financing statements naming the Originators as debtor, originator or assignor and covering any Receivables or other Affected Assets or any interest therein or (ii) notices of the filing of any federal tax lien (filed pursuant to Section 6323 of the Internal Revenue Code) or lien of the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (filed pursuant to Section 4068 of the Employment Retirement Income Security Act) covering any Receivable or other Affected Asset or any interest therein. The filing of the Originator Financing Statements in the filing offices listed in Schedule I will create a first priority security interest in each Receivable. Such perfection and priority will continue, provided that appropriate continuation statements are timely filed where and when required under the UCC.

Exhibit I-2-3

9.            ~~35.~~ The First Tier Agreement creates a valid and enforceable security interest (as that term is defined in Section 1-201(37) of the Uniform Commercial Code (including the conflict of laws rules thereof) (the “UCC”) as in effect in New York (the “New York UCC”) under Article 9 of the New York UCC (“First Tier Security Interest”) in favor of the SPV in the Receivables and other Affected Assets and the proceeds thereof (except that the First Tier Security Interest will attach to any Receivable created after the date hereof only when Arrow possesses rights in such Receivable). The internal laws of New York govern the perfection by the filing of financing statements of the First Tier Security Interest in the Receivables and the proceeds thereof. The Arrow Financing Statement(s) have been filed in the filing office(s) located in [insert jurisdictions] listed in Schedule II hereto, which are the only office(s) in which filings are required under the New York UCC to perfect the First Tier Security Interest in the Receivables and the proceeds thereof, and accordingly the First Tier Security Interest in each Receivable and the proceeds thereof will, on the date of the initial transfer under the First Tier Agreement, be perfected under Article 9 of the New York UCC. All filing fees and all taxes required to be paid as a condition to or upon the filing of the Arrow Financing Statement(s) in New York have been paid in full. As of the date hereof, there were no (i) UCC financing statements naming Arrow as debtor, originator or assignor and covering any Receivables or other Affected Assets or any interest therein or (ii) notices of the filing of any federal tax lien (filed pursuant to Section 6323 of the Internal Revenue Code) or lien of the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (filed pursuant to Section 4068 of the Employment Retirement Income Security Act) covering any Receivable or other Affected Asset or any interest therein. The filing of the Originator Financing Statement(s) in the filing offices listed in Schedule II will create a first priority security interest in each Receivable. Such perfection and priority will continue, provided that appropriate continuation statements are timely filed where and when required under the UCC.

10.          ~~36.~~ The Agreement creates a valid and enforceable security interest (as that term is defined in Section 1-201(37) of the New York UCC, under Article 9 of the New York UCC (“Second Tier Security Interest”) in favor of the Agent in each Receivable and other Affected Assets (except that the Second Tier Security Interest will attach only when the SPV possesses rights in such Receivable). The internal laws of New York govern the perfection by the filing of financing statements of the Second Tier Security Interest in the Receivables and the proceeds thereof. The SPV Financing Statement(s) have been filed in the filing office(s) located in [insert state or other jurisdiction] listed in Schedule II hereto, which are the only office(s) in which filings are required under the UCC to perfect the Second Tier Security Interest in the Receivables and the proceeds thereof, and accordingly the Second Tier Security Interest in each Receivable and the proceeds thereof will, on the date of the initial transfer under the Agreement, be perfected under Article 9 of the New York UCC. All filing fees and all taxes required to be paid as a condition to or upon the filing of the SPV Financing Statement(s) in New York have been paid in full. As of the date hereof, there were no (i) UCC financing statements naming SPV as debtor, originator or assignor and covering any Receivables or other Affected Assets or any interest therein or (ii) notices of the filing of any federal tax lien (filed pursuant to Section 6323 of the Internal Revenue Code) or lien of the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (filed pursuant to Section 4068 of the Employment Retirement Income Security Act) covering any Receivable or other Affected Assets or any interest therein. The filing of the SPV Financing Statement(s) in the filing offices listed in Schedule III will create a first priority security interest in each Receivable. Such perfection and priority will continue, provided that appropriate continuation statements are timely filed where and when required under the UCC.

Exhibit I-2-4

11.          ~~37.~~ The SPV is not, and is not controlled by, an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

In giving the opinions in paragraphs 8, 9 and 10, we have assumed that Arrow’s, each of the Originator’s and the SPV’s chief executive office will continue to be located in [insert state or other jurisdiction]. The conclusions expressed in paragraphs 8, 9 and 10 are subject to the accuracy of the personnel in the filing offices referred to above with regard to the filing, indexing and recording of financing statements and notices of Adverse Claim, and to the correctness of reports to us by [____________], who performed the searches of such records and who made the filings on behalf of Arrow, the Originators and the SPV in [insert state or other jurisdiction].

In giving the opinions set forth in paragraphs 8, 9 and 10, we have assumed that all filings as appropriate in the event of a change in the name, identity or corporate structure of the debtor (or the Originator or assignor) named in any financing statements and all continuation statements necessary under the UCC to maintain the perfection of the Originator Sale Agreement, First Tier Security Interest and the Second Tier Security Interest in the Receivables and the proceeds thereof will be duly and timely filed. In giving such opinions, we also do not express any opinion as to (a) transactions excluded from Article 9 of the UCC by virtue of Section 9-104 of the UCC, (b) any security interest in proceeds except to the extent that the validity and perfection of any interest in proceeds (as such term is defined under the UCC) thereof that is covered by the Originator Financing Statements or the SPV Financing Statements or any duly filed financing statement referred to above may be permitted by Section 9-306 of the UCC, and (c) any security interest that is terminated or released.
