NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(currency and share amounts in thousands, except per share amounts)

NOTE 1—BACKGROUND AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
Background
Concentrix Corporation (“Concentrix,” the “CX business” or the “Company”) is a leading global provider of Customer Experience (“CX”) solutions and technology that help iconic and disruptive brands drive deep understanding, full lifecycle engagement, and differentiated experiences for their end-customers around the world. The Company provides end-to-end capabilities, including CX process optimization, technology innovation and design engineering, front- and back-office automation, analytics and business transformation services to clients in five primary industry verticals. The Company’s primary verticals are technology and consumer electronics, communications and media, retail, travel and e-commerce, banking, financial services and insurance, and healthcare.
On December 1, 2020, the separation of the CX business (the “separation”) from SYNNEX Corporation, now known as TD SYNNEX Corporation (“TD SYNNEX” or the “former parent”) was completed through a tax-free distribution of all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock to TD SYNNEX stockholders (the “distribution” and, together with the separation, the “spin-off”). TD SYNNEX stockholders received one share of the Company’s common stock for each share of TD SYNNEX common stock held as of the close of business on November 17, 2020. As a result of the spin-off, the Company became an independent public company and the Company’s common stock commenced trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “CNXC” on December 1, 2020.

Basis of presentation
The accompanying interim unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The amounts as of November 30, 2021 have been derived from the Company’s annual audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2021. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to state fairly the financial position of the Company and its results of operations and cash flows as of and for the periods presented. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2021. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Risks and uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the global economy, disrupted global supply chains and labor force participation, and created significant volatility and disruption of financial markets. The Company successfully transitioned a significant portion of its workforce to a remote working environment throughout the second quarter of 2020 and implemented a number of safety and social distancing measures in the Company’s sites to protect the health and safety of the team. During the three and six months ended May 31, 2022, almost all of the Company’s workforce was productive, but the Company experienced the continued effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, as variants caused new waves of COVID-19 cases around the globe.

The extent of the continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s operational and financial performance, including its ability to execute business strategies and initiatives in the expected time frame, will depend on future developments, including the duration, spread and severity of the pandemic, the evolution of the
9



virus and the effects of mutations in its genetic code, country and state restrictions regarding virus containment, the availability and effectiveness of vaccines and treatment options, accessibility to the Company’s delivery and operations locations, its continued utilization of remote work environments in response to future health and safety restrictions, and the effect on the Company’s clients’ businesses and the demand for their products and services, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted. The Company is unable to predict how long the pandemic conditions will persist in regions in which the Company operates, if or when countries or localities may experience an increase in COVID-19 cases, what additional measures may be introduced by governments or the Company’s clients in response to the pandemic generally or to an increase in COVID-19 cases in a particular country or locality, and the effect of any such additional measures on the Company’s business. As a result, many of the estimates and assumptions used in preparation of these consolidated financial statements required increased judgment and carry a higher degree of variability and volatility. As events continue to evolve with respect to the pandemic and the global recovery from the pandemic, the Company’s estimates may materially change in future periods.
NOTE 2—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
For a discussion of the Company’s significant accounting policies, refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2021. Accounting pronouncements adopted during the six months ended May 31, 2022 are discussed below.
Concentration of credit risk
For the three and six months ended May 31, 2022, no client accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s consolidated revenue. For the three and six months ended May 31, 2021, one client accounted for 11.2% and 11.5%, respectively, of the Company’s consolidated revenue.
As of May 31, 2022 and November 30, 2021, one client comprised 10.4% and 15.3%, respectively, of the Company’s total accounts receivable balance.
Recently adopted accounting pronouncements
In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued new guidance that simplifies the accounting for income taxes. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those reporting periods. This standard became effective for the Company in fiscal year 2022 and did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements
In March 2020, the FASB issued optional guidance to ease the potential burden for a limited time in accounting for or recognizing the effects of reference rate reform, particularly, the risk of cessation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) on financial reporting. The guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments are elective and are effective upon issuance for all entities through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance.
NOTE 3—ACQUISITIONS:

PK Acquisition

Background

On December 27, 2021, the Company completed its acquisition of PK, a leading CX design engineering company with more than 5,000 staff in four countries. PK creates pioneering experiences that accelerate digital outcomes for their clients’ customers, partners and staff. The acquisition of PK expanded the Company’s scale in the digital IT services market and supported the Company’s growth strategy of investing in digital transformation to
10



deliver exceptional customer experiences. The addition of the PK staff and technology to the Company’s team further strengthened its capabilities in CX design and development, artificial intelligence (“AI”), intelligent automation, and customer loyalty.
Purchase price consideration

The total purchase price consideration, net of cash acquired, was $1,581.0 million, which was funded by proceeds from the Company’s new term loan (the “Term Loan”) under its amended senior secured credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) and additional borrowings under its accounts receivable securitization facility (the “Securitization Facility”). See Note 8Borrowings for a further discussion of the Term Loan, the Credit Facility and the Securitization Facility.
The preliminary purchase price consideration to acquire PK consisted of the following:

Cash consideration for PK stock (1)
$1,177,342 
Cash consideration for PK vested equity awards (2)
246,229 
Cash consideration for repayment of PK debt, including accrued interest (3)

(1) Represents the cash consideration paid for the outstanding shares of PK’s common stock, which includes the final settlement of the merger consideration adjustment paid pursuant to the merger agreement.
(2) Represents the cash consideration paid for vested PK stock option awards and restricted stock awards.
(3) Represents the cash consideration paid to retire PK’s outstanding third-party debt, including accrued interest.
(4) Represents the cash consideration paid for expenses incurred by PK in connection with the merger and paid by Concentrix pursuant to the merger agreement. These expenses primarily related to third-party consulting services.
(5) Represents the issuance of vested Concentrix stock options that were issued in conversion of certain vested PK stock options that were assumed by Concentrix pursuant to the merger agreement.
(6) Represents the PK cash balance acquired at acquisition.
Preliminary purchase price allocation

The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805, Business Combinations. The purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and non-controlling interest based on management’s estimate of the respective fair values at the date of acquisition. Goodwill was calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and represents the estimated future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. The factors contributing to the recognition of goodwill were the
11



assembled workforce, comprehensive service portfolio delivery capabilities and strategic benefits that are expected to be realized from the acquisition. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

The following table summarizes the preliminary estimates of fair values of the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and non-controlling interest as of the acquisition date:

As of
December 27, 2021
Assets acquired:
Cash and cash equivalents$29,653 
Accounts receivable86,955 
Property and equipment11,198 
Operating lease right-of-use assets12,288 
Identifiable intangible assets469,300 
Goodwill1,126,111 
Other assets11,954 
Total assets acquired$1,747,459 
Liabilities assumed and non-controlling interest:
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities68,438 
Operating lease liabilities12,288 
Deferred tax liabilities54,103 
Non-controlling interest2,000 
Total liabilities assumed and non-controlling interest $136,829 
Total consideration transferred$1,610,630 

As of May 31, 2022, the purchase price allocation is preliminary. The preliminary purchase price allocation was based upon a preliminary valuation, and the Company’s estimates and assumptions are subject to change within the measurement period (not to exceed twelve months following the acquisition date). The primary areas of the preliminary purchase price allocation that are not yet finalized relate to the valuation of identifiable intangible assets acquired, the fair value of certain tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and deferred income taxes. The Company expects to continue to obtain information for the purpose of determining the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the acquisition date throughout the remainder of the measurement period. The Company made immaterial measurement period adjustments during the second quarter of fiscal year 2022.

The preliminary purchase price allocation includes $469.3 million of acquired identifiable intangible assets, all of which have finite lives. The preliminary fair value of the identifiable intangible assets has been estimated using the income approach through a discounted cash flow analysis of certain cash flow projections. The cash flow projections are based on forecasts used by the Company to price the PK acquisition, and the discount rates applied were benchmarked by referencing the implied rate of return of the Company’s pricing model and the weighted average cost of capital. The intangible assets are being amortized over their estimated useful lives on either a straight-line basis or an accelerated method that reflects the economic benefit of the asset. The determination of the useful lives is based upon various industry studies, historical acquisition experience, economic factors, and future forecasted cash flows of the Company following the acquisition of PK.

The preliminary amounts allocated to intangible assets are as follows:

12





Gross Carrying AmountWeighted-Average Useful Life
Customer relationships$398,600 15 years
Technology63,500 5 years
Trade name5,000 3 years
Non-compete agreements2,200 3 years
Total$469,300 

Impact on results of operations

The results of the PK operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements since December 27, 2021. The following table provides the results of operations for PK included in the consolidated statement of operations from the acquisition date through May 31, 2022:

ServiceSource Pending Acquisition

In May 2022, the Company announced a definitive agreement to acquire ServiceSource International, Inc. (“ServiceSource”), a global market leader in B2B digital sales, for $1.50 per share in an all-cash transaction valued at approximately $131 million, inclusive of ServiceSource’s net cash. ServiceSource is a global outsourced go-to-market services provider, delivering B2B digital sales and customer success solutions that are expected to complement the Company’s existing offerings in this area. The transaction is expected to close in the second half of fiscal year 2022, subject to customary closing conditions, including approval by ServiceSource’s stockholders and regulatory requirements. ServiceSource has established a special meeting date of July 20, 2022 for its stockholders to consider approval of the transaction.
NOTE 4—SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION:
In November 2020, in connection with the spin-off, TD SYNNEX, as sole stockholder of Concentrix, approved the Concentrix Corporation 2020 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Concentrix Stock Incentive Plan”) and the Concentrix Corporation 2020 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Concentrix ESPP”), each to be effective upon completion of the spin-off. 4,000 shares of Concentrix common stock were reserved for issuance under the Concentrix Stock Incentive Plan, and 1,000 shares of Concentrix common stock were authorized for issuance under the Concentrix ESPP. In December 2021, 523 additional shares of Concentrix common stock were reserved for issuance under the Concentrix Stock Incentive Plan resulting from an automatic annual increase pursuant to the terms of the plan.

In January 2022, the Company granted 137 restricted stock awards and restricted stock units and 129 performance-based restricted stock units under the Concentrix Stock Incentive Plan, which included annual awards to the Company’s senior executive team and retention and new hire awards to staff who joined the Company as part of the PK acquisition. The restricted stock awards and restricted stock units awards had a weighted average grant date fair value of $181.09 per share and vest over a service period of four years. The performance-based restricted stock units will vest, if at all, upon the achievement of certain annual financial targets during the three-year period ending November 30, 2024. The performance-based restricted stock units had a grant date weighted average fair value of $178.58 per share.
The Company recorded share-based compensation expense in the consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended May 31, 2022 and 2021 as follows:

NOTE 6—DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS:
In the ordinary course of business, the Company is exposed to foreign currency risk and credit risk. The Company enters into transactions, and owns monetary assets and liabilities, that are denominated in currencies other than the legal entity’s functional currency. The Company may enter into forward contracts, option contracts, or other derivative instruments to offset a portion of the risk on expected future cash flows, earnings, net investments in certain non-U.S. legal entities and certain existing assets and liabilities. However, the Company may choose not to hedge certain exposures for a variety of reasons including, but not limited to, accounting considerations and the prohibitive economic cost of hedging particular exposures. There can be no assurance the hedges will offset more than a portion of the financial impact resulting from movements in foreign currency exchange or interest rates. Generally, the Company does not use derivative instruments to cover equity risk and credit risk. The Company’s hedging program is not used for trading or speculative purposes.
All derivatives are recognized on the consolidated balance sheets at their fair values. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations, or as a component of AOCI in the consolidated balance sheets, as discussed below.
Cash Flow Hedges
To mitigate the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates on gross margins, certain of the Company’s legal entities with functional currencies that are not U.S. dollars may hedge a portion of forecasted revenue or costs not denominated in the entities’ functional currencies. These instruments mature at various dates through May 2024. Gains and losses on cash flow hedges are recorded in AOCI until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. Deferred gains and losses associated with cash flow hedges of foreign currency revenue are recognized as a component of “Revenue” in the same period as the related revenue is recognized, and deferred gains and losses related to cash flow hedges of foreign currency costs are recognized as a component of “Cost of revenue” or “Selling, general and administrative expenses” in the same period as the related costs are recognized. Derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges must be de-designated as hedges when it is probable the forecasted hedged transaction will not occur in the initially identified time period or within a subsequent two-month time
18



period. Deferred gains and losses in AOCI associated with such derivative instruments are reclassified into earnings in the period of de-designation. Any subsequent changes in fair value of such derivative instruments are recorded in earnings unless they are re-designated as hedges of other transactions.
Non-Designated Derivatives
The Company uses short-term forward contracts to offset the foreign exchange risk of assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the Company’s legal entities that own the asset or liability. These contracts, which are not designated as hedging instruments, mature or settle within twelve months. Derivatives that are not designated as hedging instruments are adjusted to fair value through earnings in the financial statement line item to which the derivative relates.
Fair Values of Derivative Instruments in the Consolidated Balance Sheets
The fair values of the Company’s derivative instruments are disclosed in Note 7 and summarized in the table below:
Value as of
Balance Sheet Line ItemMay 31, 2022November 30, 2021
Derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments:
Foreign exchange forward contracts (notional value)$1,405,674 $1,415,447 
Other current assets

Derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges:
Foreign exchange forward contracts (notional value)$907,910 $918,097 
Other current assets and other assets     
1,252 7,851 
Other accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities     
20,916 9,736 
Volume of activity
The notional amounts of foreign exchange forward contracts represent the gross amounts of foreign currency, including, principally, the Philippine peso, the Indian rupee, the euro, the British pound, the Canadian dollar and the Japanese yen, that will be bought or sold at maturity. The notional amounts for outstanding derivative instruments provide one measure of the transaction volume outstanding and do not represent the amount of the Company’s exposure to credit or market loss. The Company’s exposure to credit loss and market risk will vary over time as currency exchange rates change.

There were no material gain or loss amounts excluded from the assessment of effectiveness. Existing net losses in AOCI that are expected to be reclassified into earnings in the normal course of business within the next twelve months are $16,697.
Offsetting of Derivatives
In the consolidated balance sheets, the Company does not offset derivative assets against liabilities in master netting arrangements.
Credit exposure for derivative financial instruments is limited to the amounts, if any, by which the counterparties’ obligations under the contracts exceed the Company’s obligations to the counterparties. The
20



Company manages the potential risk of credit losses through careful evaluation of counterparty credit standing and selection of counterparties from a limited group of financial institutions.
NOTE 7—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS:
The Company’s fair value measurements are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and
Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity).
The following table summarizes the valuation of the Company’s investments and financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:
As of May 31, 2022As of November 30, 2021

Liabilities:
Forward foreign currency exchange contracts$32,846 $ $32,846 $ $22,278 $ $22,278 $ 
The Company’s cash equivalents consist primarily of highly liquid investments in money market funds and term deposits with maturity periods of three months or less. The carrying values of cash equivalents approximate fair value since they are near their maturity. Investment in foreign government bond classified as an available-for-sale debt security is recorded at fair value based on quoted market prices. The fair values of forward exchange contracts are measured based on the foreign currency spot and forward rates quoted by banks or foreign currency dealers. Fair values of long-term foreign currency exchange contracts are measured using valuations based upon quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and are valued by reference to similar financial instruments, adjusted for terms specific to the contracts. The effect of nonperformance risk on the fair value of derivative instruments was not material as of May 31, 2022 and November 30, 2021.
The carrying values of term deposits with maturities less than one year, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to their short maturities and interest rates that are variable in nature. The carrying values of the outstanding balance on the Term Loan under the Company’s Credit Facility and the outstanding balance on the Securitization Facility approximate their fair values since they bear interest rates that are similar to existing market rates.
During the three and six months ended May 31, 2022 and 2021, there were no transfers between the fair value measurement category levels.

Credit Facility

On December 27, 2021, in connection with the closing of the acquisition of PK, Concentrix entered into an amendment of its senior secured credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) to (i) refinance the then-outstanding term loan (the “Prior Term Loan”) with a new term loan, which was fully advanced, in the aggregate outstanding principal amount of $2,100,000 (the “Term Loan”), (ii) increase the commitments under its revolving credit facility to $1,000,000 (the “Revolver”), (iii) extend the maturity of the Credit Facility from November 30, 2025 to December 27, 2026, (iv) replace LIBOR with SOFR (the Secured Overnight Financing Rate) as the primary reference rate used to calculate interest on the loans under the Credit Facility, and (v) modify the commitment fee on the unused portion of the Revolver and the margins in excess of the reference rates at which the loans under the Credit Facility bear interest. The proceeds from the Term Loan and additional borrowings under the Securitization Facility were used to repay the outstanding principal amount of the Prior Term Loan and to finance the acquisition of PK, including the repayment of certain indebtedness of PK and the payment of fees and expenses in connection with the acquisition of PK.

Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest, in the case of SOFR rate loans, at a per annum rate equal to the applicable SOFR rate (but not less than 0.0%), plus an adjustment of between 0.10% and 0.25% depending on the interest period of each SOFR loan, plus an applicable margin, which ranges from 1.25% to 2.00%, based on Concentrix’ consolidated leverage ratio. Borrowings under the Credit Facility that are not SOFR rate loans bear interest at a per annum rate equal to (i) the greatest of (a) the Federal Funds Rate in effect on such day plus ½ of 1.00%, (b) the rate of interest last publicly announced by Bank of America as its “prime rate” and (c) the term SOFR rate plus 1.00%, plus (ii) an applicable margin, which ranges from 0.25% to 1.00%, based on Concentrix’ consolidated leverage ratio. A commitment fee is payable on the unused portion of the Revolver that ranges from 22.5 to 30 basis points, based on Concentrix’ consolidated leverage ratio.

Beginning August 31, 2022, the outstanding principal of the Term Loan will be payable in quarterly installments of $26.25 million, with the unpaid balance due in full on the maturity date.

Concentrix may request, subject to obtaining commitments from any participating lenders and certain other conditions, incremental commitments to increase the amount of the Revolver or the Term Loan available under the Credit Facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $450,000, plus an additional amount, so long as after giving effect to the incurrence of such additional amount, the Company’s pro forma first lien leverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Facility) would not exceed 3.00 to 1.00.
Obligations under the Credit Facility are secured by substantially all of the assets of Concentrix and certain of its U.S. subsidiaries and are guaranteed by certain of its U.S. subsidiaries.
22



The Credit Facility contains various loan covenants that restrict the ability of Concentrix and its subsidiaries to take certain actions, including, incurrence of indebtedness, creation of liens, mergers or consolidations, dispositions of assets, repurchase or redemption of capital stock, making certain investments, entering into certain transactions with affiliates or changing the nature of their business. In addition, the Credit Facility contains financial covenants that require Concentrix to maintain at the end of each fiscal quarter, (i) a consolidated leverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Facility) not to exceed 3.75 to 1.0 and (ii) a consolidated interest coverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Facility) equal to or greater than 3.00 to 1.0. The Credit Facility also contains various customary events of default, including payment defaults, defaults under certain other indebtedness, and a change of control of Concentrix.
Prior to being amended in December 2021, Concentrix initially entered into its senior secured credit facility on October 16, 2020, and it initially provided for the extension of revolving loans of up to $600,000 and term loan borrowings of up to $900,000. On November 30, 2020, in connection with the spin-off, the Company incurred the full $900,000 of term loan borrowings under the Credit Facility. Substantially all of the proceeds from such borrowings, net of debt issuance costs, were transferred to TD SYNNEX on November 30, 2020 to eliminate debt owed by Concentrix to TD SYNNEX and in exchange for the contribution of certain Concentrix trademarks from TD SYNNEX to Concentrix.

Beginning May 31, 2021, the outstanding principal of the Prior Term Loan was payable in quarterly installments of $11,250, with the unpaid balance due in full on the maturity date. During the fiscal year ended November 30, 2021, the Company paid $200,000 of the principal balance on the Prior Term Loan, including $166,250 of voluntary prepayments, without penalty.

At May 31, 2022 and November 30, 2021, no amounts were outstanding under the Revolver.
Securitization Facility
On October 30, 2020, Concentrix entered into a $350,000 accounts receivable securitization facility (the “Securitization Facility”) pursuant to certain agreements, including a Receivables Financing Agreement and a Receivables Purchase Agreement. On November 30, 2020, in connection with the spin-off, the Company incurred $250,000 of borrowings under the Securitization Facility. Substantially all of the proceeds from such borrowings were transferred to TD SYNNEX on November 30, 2020 to eliminate debt owed by Concentrix to TD SYNNEX and in exchange for the contribution of certain Concentrix trademarks from TD SYNNEX to Concentrix.
Under the Securitization Facility, Concentrix and certain of its subsidiaries (the “Originators”) sell or otherwise transfer all of their accounts receivable to a special purpose bankruptcy-remote subsidiary of Concentrix (the “Borrower”) that grants a security interest in the receivables to the lenders in exchange for available borrowings of up to $350,000. The amount received under the Securitization Facility is recorded as debt on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Borrowing availability under the Securitization Facility may be limited by the Company’s accounts receivable balances, changes in the credit ratings of the clients comprising the receivables, client concentration levels in the receivables, and certain characteristics of the accounts receivable being transferred (including factors tracking performance of the accounts receivable over time). The Securitization Facility has a termination date of October 28, 2022. Amounts drawn under the Securitization Facility are classified as long-term debt within the consolidated balance sheet based on the Company’s ability and intent to refinance on a long-term basis as of May 31, 2022 as evidenced through the amendment to the Securitization Facility described below.
Borrowings under the Securitization Facility bear interest with respect to loans that are funded through the issuance of commercial paper at the applicable commercial paper rate plus a spread of 1.05% and, otherwise, at a per annum rate equal to the applicable LIBOR rate plus a spread of 1.15%. Concentrix is also obligated to pay a monthly undrawn fee that ranges from 30 to 37.5 basis points based on the portion of the Securitization Facility that is undrawn.
The Securitization Facility contains various affirmative and negative covenants, including a consolidated leverage ratio covenant that is consistent with the Credit Facility and customary events of default, including payment
23



defaults, defaults under certain other indebtedness, a change in control of Concentrix, and certain events negatively affecting the overall credit quality of the transferred accounts receivable.
The Borrower’s sole business consists of the purchase or acceptance through capital contributions of the receivables and related security from the Originators and the subsequent retransfer of or granting of a security interest in such receivables and related security to the administrative agent under the Securitization Facility for the benefit of the lenders. The Borrower is a separate legal entity with its own separate creditors who will be entitled, upon its liquidation, to be satisfied out of the Borrower’s assets prior to any assets or value in the Borrower becoming available to the Borrower’s equity holders, and the assets of the Borrower are not available to pay creditors of Concentrix and its subsidiaries.
On July 6, 2022, the Company entered into an amendment to the Securitization Facility to (i) increase the commitment of the lenders to provide available borrowings of up to $500,000, (ii) extend the termination date of the Securitization Facility from October 28, 2022 to July 5, 2024, and (iii) replace LIBOR with SOFR as one of the reference rates used to calculate interest on borrowings under the Securitization Facility. In addition, the interest rate margins were amended, such that borrowings under the Securitization Facility that are funded through the issuance of commercial paper bear interest at the applicable commercial paper rate plus a spread of 0.70% and, otherwise, at a per annum rate equal to the applicable SOFR rate (which includes a SOFR related adjustment of 0.10%), plus a spread of 0.80%.
Covenant compliance
As of May 31, 2022, Concentrix was in compliance with all covenants for the above arrangements.
NOTE 9—EARNINGS PER SHARE:

Basic and diluted earnings per common share (EPS) are computed using the two-class method, which is an earnings allocation formula that determines EPS for each class of common stock and participating security. The Company’s restricted stock awards are considered participating securities because they are legally issued at the grant date and holders have a non-forfeitable right to receive dividends.

NOTE 11—PENSION AND EMPLOYEE BENEFITS PLANS:
The Company has a 401(k) plan in the United States under which eligible employees may contribute up to the maximum amount as provided by law. Employees become eligible to participate in the 401(k) plan on the first day of the month after their employment date. The Company may make discretionary contributions under the plan. Employees in most of the Company’s non-U.S. legal entities are covered by government mandated defined contribution plans. During the three and six months ended May 31, 2022, the Company contributed $26,855 and $48,667, respectively, to defined contribution plans. During the three and six months ended May 31, 2021, the Company contributed $18,967 and $39,141, respectively, to defined contribution plans.
Defined Benefit Plans
The Company has defined benefit pension and retirement plans for eligible employees of certain non-U.S. legal entities. For eligible employees in the U.S., the Company maintains a frozen defined benefit pension plan (“the cash balance plan”), which includes both a qualified and non-qualified portion. The pension benefit formula for the cash balance plan is determined by a combination of compensation, age-based credits and annual guaranteed interest credits. The qualified portion of the cash balance plan has been funded through contributions made to a trust fund.
The Company maintains funded or unfunded defined benefit pension or retirement plans for certain eligible employees in the Philippines, Malaysia, India, and France. Benefits under these plans are primarily based on years of service and compensation during the years immediately preceding retirement or termination of participation in the plans.
Net benefit costs related to defined benefit plans were $2,353 and $5,628, during the three and six months ended May 31, 2022, respectively. Net benefit costs related to defined benefit plans were $3,372 and $6,683, during the three and six months ended May 31, 2021, respectively. On an aggregate basis, the plans were underfunded by $96,016 and $104,689 at May 31, 2022 and November 30, 2021, respectively.
NOTE 12—INCOME TAXES:
Income taxes consist of current and deferred tax expense resulting from income earned in domestic and international jurisdictions. The effective tax rates for the three and six months ended May 31, 2022 and 2021 were impacted by the geographic mix of worldwide income and certain discrete items, which included an additional expense of $9,247 in the second quarter of 2021 related to the change in the Company’s indefinite reinvestment assertion for Concentrix Insurance Solutions due to the then-pending sale, which closed in the third quarter of 2021.
The liability for unrecognized tax benefits was $54,302 and $56,308 at May 31, 2022 and November 30, 2021, respectively, and is included in other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. As of May 31, 2022 and November 30, 2021, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that would affect income tax expense if recognized in the consolidated financial statements was $46,449 and $48,438, respectively. This amount includes net interest and penalties of $8,604 and $8,861 for the respective periods. The net interest and penalties balance for November 30, 2021 includes an immaterial prior period disclosure adjustment to properly present the amount. This disclosure adjustment resulted in no impact to the Company’s consolidated balance sheets or consolidated statement of operations for any period presented. The Company believes that it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits could decrease between approximately $5,348 and $12,108 in the next twelve months; however, actual developments in this area could differ from those currently expected.

NOTE 14—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
From time to time, the Company receives notices from third parties, including customers and suppliers, seeking indemnification, payment of money or other actions in connection with claims made against them. Also, from time to time, the Company has been involved in various bankruptcy preference actions where the Company was a supplier to the companies now in bankruptcy. In addition, the Company is subject to various other claims, both asserted and unasserted, that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company evaluates these claims and records the related liabilities. It is possible that the liabilities ultimately incurred by the Company could differ from the amounts recorded.
Under the separation and distribution agreement with TD SYNNEX, the Company agreed to indemnify TD SYNNEX, each of its subsidiaries and each of their respective directors, officers and employees from and against all liabilities allocated to Concentrix under the separation and distribution agreement, which are generally those liabilities that relate to the CX business and the Company’s business activities, whether incurred prior to or after the spin-off.

Under the tax matters agreement with TD SYNNEX, if the spin-off fails to qualify for tax-free treatment, the Company is generally required to indemnify TD SYNNEX for any taxes resulting from the spin-off (and related costs and other damages) to the extent such amounts result from (1) an acquisition of all or a portion of the Company’s equity securities or assets by any means, (2) any action or failure to act by the Company after the distribution affecting the voting rights of the Company’s stock, (3) other actions or failures to act by the Company, or (4) certain breaches of the Company’s agreements and representations in the tax matters agreement. The Company’s indemnification obligations to TD SYNNEX and its subsidiaries, officers, directors and employees are not limited by any maximum amount.

The Company does not believe that the above commitments and contingencies will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
NOTE 15—STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY:

Share repurchase program
In September 2021, the Company’s board of directors authorized the Company to purchase up to $500,000 of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock from time to time as market and business conditions warrant, including through open market purchases or Rule 10b5-1 trading plans. The repurchase program has no termination date and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. During the three and six months ended May 31, 2022, the Company repurchased 367 aggregate shares of its common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $57,850. The share repurchases were made on the open market and the shares repurchased by the Company are held in treasury for general corporate purposes. At May 31, 2022, approximately $417,055 remained available for share repurchases under the existing authorization from the Company’s board of directors.
During June 2022, the Company repurchased 92 aggregate shares of its common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $13,764.

Overview and Basis of Presentation
Concentrix is a leading global provider of Customer Experience (“CX”) solutions and technology that help iconic and disruptive brands drive deep understanding, full lifecycle engagement, and differentiated experiences for their end-customers. We provide end-to-end capabilities, including CX process optimization, technology innovation and design engineering, front- and back-office automation, analytics and business transformation services to clients in five primary industry verticals. Our differentiated portfolio of solutions supports Fortune Global 500 as well as new economy clients across the globe in their efforts to deliver an optimized, consistent brand experience across all channels of communication, such as voice, chat, email, social media, asynchronous messaging, and custom applications. We strive to deliver exceptional services globally supported by our deep industry knowledge, technology and security practices, talented people, and digital and analytics expertise.
We generate revenue from performing services that are generally tied to our clients’ products and services. Any shift in business or the size of the market for our clients’ products or services, or any failure of technology or failure of acceptance of our clients’ products or services in the market may impact our business. The staff turnover rate in our business is high, as is the risk of losing experienced team members. High staff turnover rates may increase costs and decrease operating efficiencies and productivity.
30



PK Acquisition
On December 27, 2021, we completed our acquisition of PK, a leading CX design engineering company with more than 5,000 staff in four countries. PK creates pioneering experiences that accelerate digital outcomes for their clients’ customers, partners and staff. The acquisition of PK expanded our scale in the digital IT services market and supported our growth strategy of investing in digital transformation to deliver exceptional customer experiences. The addition of the PK staff and technology to our team further strengthened our capabilities in CX design and development, artificial intelligence (“AI”), intelligent automation, and customer loyalty.
ServiceSource Pending Acquisition
In May 2022, we announced a definitive agreement to acquire ServiceSource International, Inc. (“ServiceSource”), a global market leader in B2B digital sales, for $1.50 per share in an all-cash transaction valued at approximately $131 million, inclusive of ServiceSource’s net cash. ServiceSource is a global outsourced go-to-market services provider, delivering B2B digital sales and customer success solutions that are expected to complement our existing offerings in this area. The transaction is expected to close in the second half of fiscal year 2022, subject to customary closing conditions, including approval by ServiceSource’s stockholders and regulatory requirements. ServiceSource has established a special meeting date of July 20, 2022 for its stockholders to consider approval of the transaction.
Spin-off
On December 1, 2020, the previously announced separation (the “separation”) of Concentrix and our technology-infused CX solutions business from TD SYNNEX was completed through a tax-free distribution of all of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock to TD SYNNEX stockholders (the distribution and, together with the separation, the “spin-off”). TD SYNNEX stockholders received one share of our common stock for each share of TD SYNNEX common stock held as of the close of business on November 17, 2020. As a result of the spin-off, we became an independent public company and our common stock commenced trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “CNXC” on December 1, 2020. In connection with the spin-off, on November 30, 2020, we entered into a separation and distribution agreement, an employee matters agreement, a tax matters agreement and a commercial agreement with TD SYNNEX to set forth the principal actions to be taken in connection with the spin-off and define our ongoing relationship with TD SYNNEX after the spin-off.
Risks and uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the global economy, disrupted global supply chains and labor force participation, and created significant volatility and disruption of financial markets. We successfully transitioned a significant portion of our workforce to a remote working environment throughout the second quarter of 2020 and implemented a number of safety and social distancing measures in our sites to protect the health and safety of our staff. During the six months ended May 31, 2022, almost all of our workforce was productive, but we experienced the continued effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, as variants caused new waves of COVID-19 cases around the globe.
The extent of the continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operational and financial performance, including our ability to execute our business strategies and initiatives in the expected time frame, will depend on future developments, including the duration, spread and severity of the pandemic, the evolution of the virus and the effects of mutations in its genetic code, country and state restrictions regarding virus containment, the availability and effectiveness of vaccines and treatment options, accessibility to our delivery and operations locations, our continued utilization of remote work environments in response to future health and safety restrictions, and the effect on our clients’ businesses and the demand for their products and services, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted. We are unable to predict how long the pandemic conditions will persist in regions in which we operate, if or when countries or localities may experience an increase in COVID-19 cases, what additional measures may be introduced by governments or our clients in response to the pandemic generally or to an increase in COVID-19 cases in a particular country or locality, and the effect of any such additional measures on our business. As a result, many of the estimates and assumptions involved in preparation of the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q required increased judgment and carry a higher degree of variability and volatility. As events continue to evolve with respect to the pandemic and the global recovery from the pandemic, our estimates may materially change in future periods. Accordingly, current results and financial condition discussed herein may not be indicative of future operating results and trends.
31



Revenue and Cost of Revenue
We generate revenue through the provision of CX solutions and technology to our clients pursuant to client contracts. Our client contracts typically consist of a master services agreement, supported in most cases by multiple statements of work, which contains the terms and conditions of each contracted solution. Our client contracts can range from less than one year to over five years in term and are subject to early termination by our clients for any reason, typically with 30 to 90 days’ notice.
Our CX solutions and technology are generally characterized by flat unit prices. Approximately 95% of our revenue is recognized as services are performed, based on staffing hours or the number of client customer transactions handled using contractual rates. Remaining revenue from the sale of these solutions are typically recognized as the services are provided over the duration of the contract using contractual rates.
Our cost of revenue consists primarily of personnel costs related to the delivery of our solutions. The costs of our revenue can be impacted by the mix of client contracts, where we deliver the CX solutions, additional lead time for programs to be fully scalable, and transition and initial set-up costs. Our cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue has also fluctuated in the past, based primarily on our ability to achieve economies of scale, the management of our operating expenses, and the timing and costs incurred related to our acquisitions and investments.
In the second quarter of 2022 and 2021, approximately 78% and 84% of our consolidated revenue was generated from our non-U.S. operations, and approximately 67% and 62%, respectively, of our consolidated revenue was priced in U.S. dollars and we expect this to continue. As a result, we have certain client contracts that are priced in non-U.S. dollar currencies for which a substantial portion of the costs to deliver the services are in other currencies. Accordingly, our revenue may be earned in currencies that are different from the currencies in which we incur corresponding expenses. Fluctuations in the value of currencies, such as the Philippine peso, the Indian rupee, and the Canadian dollar, against the U.S. dollar or other currencies in which we bill our clients, and inflation in the local economies in which these delivery centers are located, can impact the operating and labor costs in these delivery centers, which can result in reduced profitability. As a result, our revenue growth, costs and profitability have been impacted, and we expect will continue to be impacted, by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and inflation.
Margins
Our gross margins fluctuate and can be impacted by the mix of client contracts, services provided, shifts in the geography from which our CX services are delivered, client volume trends, the amount of lead time that is required for programs to become fully scalable, and transition and set-up costs. Our operating margin fluctuates based on changes in gross margins as well as overall volume levels, as we are able to gain scale efficiencies in our selling, general and administrative costs in periods of larger volume.
Economic and Industry Trends
The CX solutions industry in which we operate is competitive. Clients’ performance measures are based on competitive pricing terms and quality of services. Further, there can be competitive pressure in various labor markets, which could result in increased labor costs. Accordingly, we could be subject to pricing and labor cost pressures and may experience a decrease in revenue and operating income. Our business operates in over 40 countries across 6 continents. We have significant concentrations in the Philippines, India, the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, throughout Europe, China and Japan. Accordingly, we would be impacted by economic strength or weakness in these geographies and by the strengthening or weakening of local currencies relative to the U.S. dollar.
Seasonality
Our revenue and margins fluctuate with the underlying trends in our clients’ businesses and trends in the level of consumer activity. As a result, our revenue and margins are typically higher in the fourth quarter of the year than in any other quarter.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
During the three and six months ended May 31, 2022, there were no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2021.

We generate revenue by delivering our CX solutions and technology to our clients categorized in the above primary industry verticals. Our solutions focus on customer engagement, process optimization, and back-office automation.
Our revenue increased 14.5% in the three months ended May 31, 2022 compared to the three months ended May 31, 2021, which included revenue related to the acquired PK operations of $124.0 million, or an increase of 9.0%, and larger volumes across all verticals over the prior year period. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in revenue related to divested businesses of $16.6 million, or 1.2%, and an unfavorable translation effect of foreign currencies of $36.7 million, or 2.7%. The unfavorable foreign currency translation effect on revenue was primarily due to the weakening of the euro, Japanese yen, British pound and Australian dollar against the U.S. dollar.
Our revenue increased 14.0% in the six months ended May 31, 2022 compared to the six months ended May 31, 2021, which included approximately five months of revenue related to the acquired PK operations of $207.2 million, or an increase of 7.6%, and larger volumes across all verticals over the prior year period. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in revenue related to divested businesses of $32.6 million, or 1.2%, and an unfavorable translation effect of foreign currencies of $62.3 million, or 2.3%. The unfavorable foreign currency translation effect on revenue was primarily due to the weakening of the euro, Japanese yen, British pound and Australian dollar against the U.S. dollar.
For the three and six months ended May 31, 2022, revenue in our technology and consumer electronics vertical increased as a result of increases in volumes from several social media and internet-related service clients and increases in volumes from a broad-based group of hardware and software clients over the prior year periods. For the three and six months ended May 31, 2022, revenue
33



in our communications and media vertical increased primarily due to contributions from the PK operations resulting in increased volumes over the prior year periods. For the three and six months ended May 31, 2022, revenue in our retail, travel and ecommerce vertical increased primarily due to contributions from the PK operations and increased volumes across the majority of our retail and ecommerce and travel and tourism clients over the prior year periods. For the three and six months ended May 31, 2022, revenue from clients in the banking, financial services and insurance vertical increased due to increased volumes from several banking and financial services clients offset by a decrease in volumes related to several of our insurance clients. For the three and six months ended May 31, 2022, revenue in our healthcare vertical increased due to contributions from the PK operations and increased volumes across the majority of our health insurance clients. For the three and six months ended May 31, 2022, revenue in our other vertical increased primarily reflecting contributions from the PK operations.

Cost of revenue consists primarily of personnel costs. Gross margins can be impacted by resource location, client mix and pricing, additional lead time for programs to be fully scalable, and transition and initial set-up costs.
Our cost of revenue increased by 13.8% in the three months ended May 31, 2022 compared to the three months ended May 31, 2021, primarily due to the increase in our revenue and personnel costs related to staff supporting the acquired PK operations. The increases were partially offset by foreign currency impacts of $34.5 million. The foreign currency impact on our cost of revenue was caused primarily by the weakening of the euro, Philippine peso, Japanese yen, and British pound against the U.S. dollar.

Our cost of revenue increased by 14.4% in the six months ended May 31, 2022 compared to the six months ended May 31, 2021, primarily due to the increase in our revenue and personnel costs related to staff supporting the acquired PK operations during the six months ended May 31, 2022. The increases were partially offset by foreign currency impacts of $57.2 million. The foreign currency impact on our cost of revenue was caused primarily by the weakening of the euro, Philippine peso, Japanese yen, and British pound against the U.S. dollar.

Our gross profit increased 15.8% in the three months ended May 31, 2022 compared to the three months ended May 31, 2021, primarily due to the increase in revenue and the contributions from the PK operations, partially offset by a net unfavorable foreign currency impact of $2.2 million on gross profit. Our gross margin percentage for the three months ended May 31, 2022 increased to 35.6% from 35.2% in the prior year period due to the impact of the PK operations and changes in the mix of geographies where our services were delivered.
Our gross profit increased 13.2% in the six months ended May 31, 2022 compared to the six months ended May 31, 2021, primarily due to the increase in revenue and the contributions from approximately five months of the PK operations, partially offset by a net unfavorable foreign currency impact of $5.1 million on gross profit. Our gross margin percentage for the six months ended May 31, 2022 decreased to 35.3% from 35.6% in the prior year period due to the impact of approximately five months of the PK operations and changes in the mix of geographies where our services were delivered.

our global delivery facilities, utility expenses, hardware and software costs related to our technology infrastructure, legal and professional fees, depreciation on our technology and facility equipment, share-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets resulting from acquisitions, marketing expenses and acquisition-related and integration expenses.
Our selling, general and administrative expenses increased 13.4% in the three months ended May 31, 2022 compared to the three months ended May 31, 2021, primarily due to incremental selling, general and administrative expenses associated with the PK operations, an increase in share-based compensation expense of $3.3 million, an increase in amortization expense of $6.9 million primarily associated with the intangible assets recognized in the PK acquisition and an increase in acquisition-related and integration expenses of $1.7 million. These increases were partially offset by favorable currency impacts of $9.9 million. These items and scale efficiencies resulted in a decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue from 25.9% in the second fiscal quarter of 2021 to 25.6% in the second fiscal quarter of 2022.
Our selling, general and administrative expenses increased 12.3% in the six months ended May 31, 2022 compared to the six months ended May 31, 2021, primarily due to incremental selling, general and administrative expenses associated with approximately five months of the PK operations during the first half of 2022, an increase in share-based compensation expense of $11.4 million, an increase in amortization expense of $10.3 million primarily associated with the intangible assets recognized in the acquisition of PK and an increase in acquisition-related and integration expenses of $2.6 million.

Provision for income taxes consist of our current and deferred tax expense resulting from our income earned in domestic and international jurisdictions.
Our provision for income taxes decreased in the three and six months ended May 31, 2022 compared to the three and six months ended May 31, 2021, primarily due to the additional expense of $9.2 million in the second quarter of 2021 related to the change in our indefinite reinvestment assertion for Concentrix Insurance Solutions (“CIS”) due to the then-pending sale that closed in the third quarter of 2021, income tax benefits of $5.4 million and $7.3 million for the three and six months ended May 31, 2022, respectively, related to favorable changes in uncertain tax positions and favorable tax rulings, partially offset by the increase in expense as a result of the increase in income before taxes. The effective tax rate for the three month and six months ended May 31, 2022 decreased compared to the prior year periods primarily due to the decrease in the provision for income taxes as previously described, despite the overall increase in income before taxes.

Certain Non-GAAP Financial Information

In addition to disclosing financial results that are determined in accordance with GAAP, we also disclose certain non-GAAP financial information, including:
Revenue in constant currency, which is revenue adjusted for the translation effect of foreign currencies so that certain financial results can be viewed without the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, thereby facilitating period-to-period comparisons of our business performance. Revenue in constant currency is calculated by translating the revenue of each fiscal year in the billing currency to U.S. dollars using the comparable prior year’s currency conversion rate. Generally, when the U.S. dollar either strengthens or weakens against other currencies, our revenue growth at constant currency rates or adjusting for currency will be higher or lower than our revenue growth reported at actual exchange rates.
Revenue in adjusted constant currency, which is constant currency revenue excluding revenue for businesses acquired or divested since the beginning of the prior year period so that revenue growth can be viewed without the impact of acquisitions or divestitures, thereby facilitating period-to-period comparisons of our business performance.
36




Non-GAAP operating income, which is operating income, adjusted to exclude acquisition-related and integration expenses, including related restructuring costs, amortization of intangible assets and share-based compensation.
Non-GAAP operating margin, which is non-GAAP operating income, as defined above, divided by revenue.
Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, or adjusted EBITDA, which is non-GAAP operating income, as defined above, plus depreciation.
Adjusted EBITDA margin, which is adjusted EBITDA, as defined above, divided by revenue.
Non-GAAP net income, which is net income excluding the tax effected impact of acquisition-related and integration expenses, including related restructuring costs, amortization of intangible assets and share-based compensation.

Free cash flow, which is cash flows from operating activities less capital expenditures. We believe that free cash flow is a meaningful measure of cash flows since capital expenditures are a necessary component of ongoing operations. However, free cash flow has limitations because it does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. For example, free cash flow does not incorporate payments for business acquisitions.
Non-GAAP diluted earnings per common share (“EPS”), which is diluted EPS excluding the per share, tax effected impact of acquisition-related and integration expenses, including related restructuring costs, amortization of intangible assets and share-based compensation.

We believe that providing this additional information is useful to the reader to better assess and understand our base operating performance, especially when comparing results with previous periods and for planning and forecasting in future periods, primarily because management typically monitors the business adjusted for these items in addition to GAAP results. Management also uses these non-GAAP measures to establish operational goals and, in some cases, for measuring performance for compensation purposes. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude amortization of intangible assets. Our acquisition activities have resulted in the recognition of intangible assets, which consist primarily of client relationships, technology and trade names. Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives and are tested for impairment when events indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The amortization of intangible assets is reflected in our statements of operations. Although intangible assets contribute to our revenue generation, the amortization of intangible assets does not directly relate to the services performed for our clients. Additionally, intangible asset amortization expense typically fluctuates based on the size and timing of our acquisition activity. Accordingly, we believe excluding the amortization of intangible assets, along with the other non-GAAP adjustments, which neither relate to the ordinary course of our business nor reflect our underlying business performance, enhances our and our investors’ ability to compare our past financial performance with its current performance and to analyze underlying business performance and trends. Intangible asset amortization excluded from the related non-GAAP financial measure represents the entire amount recorded within our GAAP financial statements, and the revenue generated by the associated intangible assets has not been excluded from the related non-GAAP financial measure. Intangible asset amortization is excluded from the related non-GAAP financial measure because the amortization, unlike the related revenue, is not affected by operations of any particular period unless an intangible asset becomes impaired or the estimated useful life of an intangible asset is revised. These non-GAAP financial measures also exclude share-based compensation expense. Given the subjective assumptions and the variety of award types that companies can use when calculating share-based compensation expense, management believes this additional information allows investors to make additional comparisons between our operating results and those of our peers. As these non-GAAP financial measures are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, they may not necessarily be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the comparable GAAP measures and should be used as a complement to, and in conjunction with, data presented in accordance with GAAP.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary uses of cash are working capital, capital expenditures to expand our delivery footprint and enhance our technology solutions, debt repayments and acquisitions, including our recent acquisition of PK and our pending acquisition of ServiceSource. Our financing needs for these uses of cash have been a combination of operating cash flows and third-party debt arrangements. Our working capital needs are primarily to finance accounts receivable. When our revenue is increasing, our net investment in working capital typically increases. Conversely, when revenue is decreasing, our net investment in working capital typically decreases. To increase our market share and better serve our clients, we may further expand our operations through investments or acquisitions. We expect that such expansion would require an initial investment in working capital, personnel, facilities, and operations. These investments or acquisitions would likely be funded primarily by our existing cash and cash equivalents, available liquidity, including capacity on our debt arrangements, or the issuance of securities.

In September 2021, considering our strong free cash flow, low leverage and adequate liquidity to support capital return to stockholders while maintaining flexibility to pursue acquisitions, the Company’s board of directors authorized a share repurchase program. Under the share repurchase program, the board of directors authorized the Company to purchase up to $500 million of our common stock from time to time as market and business conditions warrant, including through open market purchases or Rule 10b5-1 trading plans. The repurchase program has no termination date and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. During the three and six months ended May 31, 2022, we purchased 366,704 shares of our common stock under the program for approximately $57.9 million in the aggregate. At May 31, 2022, approximately $417.1 million remained available for share repurchases under the existing authorization from the Company’s board of directors. During June 2022, we repurchased 92,306 aggregate shares of our common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $13.8 million.

During fiscal years 2022 and 2021, the Company has paid the following dividends per share approved by the Company’s board of directors:

Announcement DateRecord DatePer Share Dividend AmountPayment Date
September 27, 2021October 22, 2021$0.25November 2, 2021
January 18, 2022January 28, 2022$0.25February 8, 2022
March 29, 2022April 29, 2022$0.25May 10, 2022

On June 27, 2022, we announced a cash dividend of $0.25 per share to stockholders of record as of July 29, 2022, payable on August 9, 2022.

The board of directors expects that future cash dividends will be paid on a quarterly basis. However, any decision to pay future cash dividends will be subject to our board of directors’ approval, and will depend on many factors, such as our financial condition, earnings, capital requirements, debt service obligations, restrictive covenants in our debt agreements, industry practice, legal requirements, regulatory constraints, and other factors that our board of directors deems relevant. Our ability to pay dividends will depend on our ongoing ability to generate cash from operations and on our access to the capital markets. We cannot guarantee that we will continue to pay a dividend in the future.
Debt Arrangements
Credit Facility
On December 27, 2021, in connection with the closing of the acquisition of PK, we entered into an amendment of our senior secured credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) to (i) refinance the then-outstanding term loan (the “Prior Term Loan”) with a new term loan, which was fully advanced, in the aggregate outstanding principal amount of $2,100 million (the “Term Loan”), (ii) increase the commitments under our revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”) to $1,000 million, (iii) extend the maturity of the Credit Facility from November 30, 2025 to December 27, 2026, (iv) replace LIBOR with SOFR as the primary reference rate used to calculate interest on the loans under the Credit Facility, and (v) modify the commitment fee on the unused portion of the Revolver and the margins in excess of the reference rates at which the loans under the Credit Facility bear interest. The proceeds from the Term Loan and additional borrowings under the Securitization Facility were used to repay the outstanding principal amount of the Prior Term
40



Loan and to finance the acquisition of PK, including the repayment of certain indebtedness of PK and the payment of fees and expenses in connection with the acquisition.

Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest, in the case of SOFR rate loans, at a per annum rate equal to the applicable SOFR rate (but not less than 0.0%), plus an adjustment of between 0.10% and 0.25% depending on the interest period of each SOFR loan, plus an applicable margin, which ranges from 1.25% to 2.00%, based on our consolidated leverage ratio. Borrowings under the Credit Facility that are not SOFR rate loans bear interest at a per annum rate equal to (i) the greatest of (a) the Federal Funds Rate in effect on such day plus ½ of 1.00%, (b) the rate of interest last publicly announced by Bank of America as its “prime rate” and (c) the term SOFR rate plus 1.00%, plus (ii) an applicable margin, which ranges from 0.25% to 1.00%, based on our consolidated leverage ratio. A commitment fee is payable on the unused portion of the Revolver that ranges from 22.5 to 30 basis points, based on our consolidated leverage ratio.

Beginning August 31, 2022, the outstanding principal of the Term Loan is payable in quarterly installments of $26.25 million, with the unpaid balance due in full on the maturity date.

We may request, subject to obtaining commitments from any participating lenders and certain other conditions, incremental commitments to increase the amount of the Revolver or the Term Loan available under the Credit Facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $450 million, plus an additional amount, so long as after giving effect to the incurrence of such additional amount, our pro forma first lien leverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Facility) would not exceed 3.00 to 1.00.

Obligations under the Credit Facility are secured by substantially all of the assets of Concentrix and certain of its U.S. subsidiaries and are guaranteed by certain of its U.S. subsidiaries.

The Credit Facility contains various loan covenants that restrict the ability of Concentrix and its subsidiaries to take certain actions, including incurrence of indebtedness, creation of liens, mergers or consolidations, dispositions of assets, repurchase or redemption of capital stock, making certain investments, entering into certain transactions with affiliates or changing the nature of our business. In addition, the Credit Facility contains financial covenants that require us to maintain at the end of each fiscal quarter, (i) a consolidated leverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Facility) not to exceed 3.75 to 1.0 and (ii) a consolidated interest coverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Facility) equal to or greater than 3.00 to 1.0. The Credit Facility also contains various customary events of default, including payment defaults, defaults under certain other indebtedness, and a change of control of Concentrix.

Prior to being amended in December 2021, we initially entered into our senior secured credit facility on October 16, 2020, and it initially provided for the extension of revolving loans of up to $600 million and term loan borrowings of up to $900 million. On November 30, 2020, in connection with the spin-off, we incurred the full $900 million of term loan borrowings under the Credit Facility and $250 million of borrowings under the Securitization Facility (as defined below). Substantially all of the proceeds from such borrowings, net of debt issuance costs, were transferred to TD SYNNEX on November 30, 2020 to eliminate debt owed by the Company to TD SYNNEX and in exchange for the contribution of certain Company trademarks from TD SYNNEX to the Company.

Beginning May 31, 2021, the outstanding principal of the Prior Term Loan was payable in quarterly installments of $11.25 million, with the unpaid balance due in full on the maturity date. During the fiscal year ended November 30, 2021, we paid $200.0 million of the principal balance on the Prior Term Loan, including $166.25 million of voluntary prepayments without penalty.

We had no outstanding borrowings on the Revolver as of May 31, 2022 or November 30, 2021.

Securitization Facility

On October 30, 2020, we entered into a $350 million accounts receivable securitization facility (the “Securitization Facility”) pursuant to certain agreements, including a receivables financing agreement and a receivables purchase agreement.

The Securitization Facility has a termination date of October 28, 2022. Under the Securitization Facility, Concentrix and certain of its U.S. based subsidiaries (the “Originators”) sell or otherwise transfer all of their accounts receivable to a special purpose bankruptcy-remote subsidiary of Concentrix that grants a security interest in the receivables to the lenders in exchange for available borrowings of up to $350 million. Borrowing availability under the Securitization Facility may be limited by our accounts receivable balances, changes in the credit ratings of our clients comprising the receivables, client concentration levels in the receivables, and
41



certain characteristics of the accounts receivable being transferred (including factors tracking performance of the accounts receivable over time).

Borrowings under the Securitization Facility bear interest with respect to loans that are funded through the issuance of commercial paper at the applicable commercial paper rate plus a spread of 1.05% and, otherwise, at a per annum rate equal to the applicable LIBOR rate plus a spread of 1.15%. We are also obligated to pay a monthly undrawn fee that ranges from 30 to 37.5 basis points based on the portion of the Securitization Facility that is undrawn.

The Securitization Facility contains various affirmative and negative covenants, including a consolidated leverage ratio covenant that is consistent with the Credit Facility and customary events of default, including payment defaults, defaults under certain other indebtedness, a change in control of Concentrix, and certain events negatively affecting the overall credit quality of the transferred accounts receivable.

As of May 31, 2022, we were in compliance with the debt covenants related to our debt arrangements.

Cash Flows – Six Months Ended May 31, 2022 and 2021
The following summarizes our cash flows for the six months ended May 31, 2022 and 2021, as reported in our consolidated statement of cash flows in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Six Months Ended

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash at beginning of year183,010 156,351 
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash at the end of the period$164,099 $132,481 
Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $212.5 million for the six months ended May 31, 2022 in comparison to $239.1 million for the six months ended May 31, 2021. The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities over the prior year period was primarily due to changes in working capital over the prior year period partially offset by the increase in net income.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended May 31, 2022 was $1,637.4 million in comparison to $73.8 million for the six months ended May 31, 2021. The increase in net cash used in investing activities over the prior year period primarily related to the cash paid in connection with our acquisition of PK of $1,565.3 million.

Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended May 31, 2022 was $1,415.4 million, consisting primarily of net proceeds of $1,400.0 million from the refinancing of the Prior Term Loan with the Term Loan under the Credit Facility and net proceeds of $106.0 million from borrowings under the Securitization Facility, offset by share repurchases of $57.9 million, cash paid for debt issuance costs of $8.9 million and dividends of $26.2 million.
Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended May 31, 2021 was $182.6 million, consisting primarily of the payment of $200.0 million of the principal balance of the Prior Term Loan under the Credit Facility (prior to giving effect to the
42



December 2021 amendment), partially offset by net borrowings of $12.5 million under the Securitization Facility and proceeds from the exercise of stock options and employee stock purchase plan of $5.4 million.

We believe our current cash balances and credit availability are enough to support our operating activities for at least the next twelve months.
Free Cash Flow (a non-GAAP measure)
Six Months Ended
May 31, 2022May 31, 2021
($ in thousands)
Net cash provided by operating activities$212,484 $239,115 
Purchases of property and equipment(71,166)(70,758)
Free cash flow (a non-GAAP measure)$141,318 $168,357 
Our free cash flow was $141.3 million for the six months ended May 31, 2022 compared to $168.4 million for the six months ended May 31, 2021. The decrease in free cash flow for the six months ended May 31, 2022 was due to the decrease in cash provided by operating activities and a slight increase in capital expenditures.
Capital Resources
As of May 31, 2022, we had total liquidity of approximately $1,302.4 million, which includes undrawn Revolver capacity of $1,000.0 million on the Credit Facility, undrawn capacity of $139.0 million on the Securitization Facility and cash and cash equivalents.
Our cash and cash equivalents totaled $163.4 million and $182.0 million as of May 31, 2022 and November 30, 2021, respectively. Of our total cash and cash equivalents, 99% and 87% were held by our non-U.S. legal entities as of May 31, 2022 and November 30, 2021, respectively. The cash and cash equivalents held by our non-U.S. legal entities are no longer subject to U.S. federal tax on repatriation into the United States. Repatriation of some non-U.S. balances is restricted by local laws. Historically, we have fully utilized and reinvested all non-U.S. cash to fund our international operations and expansion; however, the Company has recorded deferred tax liabilities related to non-U.S. withholding taxes on the earnings of certain previously acquired non-U.S. entities that are likely to be repatriated in the future. If in the future our intentions change, and we repatriate the cash back to the United States, we will report in our consolidated financial statements the impact of the state and withholding taxes depending upon the planned timing and manner of such repatriation. Presently, we believe we have sufficient resources, cash flow and liquidity within the United States to fund current and expected future working capital, investment and other general corporate funding requirements.

We believe that our available cash and cash equivalents balances, the cash flows expected to be generated from operations, and our sources of liquidity will be sufficient to satisfy our current and planned working capital and investment needs for the next twelve months. We also believe that our longer-term working capital, planned capital expenditures and other general corporate funding requirements will be satisfied through cash flows from operations and, to the extent necessary, from our borrowing facilities and future financial market activities.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market Risk
We are and will be exposed to a variety of market risks, including the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. Market risk is the potential loss arising from changes in market rates and prices. Our risk management strategy includes managing these risks through our regular operating and financing activities and, when appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instruments. We utilize derivative financial instruments to hedge economic exposures, as well as reduce earnings and cash flow volatility resulting from shifts in market rates. In using derivative financial instruments to hedge our exposures to changes in exchange rates, we expose ourselves to counterparty credit risk. We manage our exposure to counterparty credit risk by entering into
43



derivative financial instruments with investment grade-rated institutions that can be expected to perform fully under the terms of the agreements and by diversifying the financial institutions with which we enter into such agreements. There can be no guarantee that the risk management activities that we have entered into will be sufficient to fully offset market risk or reduce earnings and cash flow volatility resulting from shifts in market rates. See Note 6 of the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional discussion of our financial risk management.
Foreign Currency Risk
While approximately 67% of our revenue is priced in U.S. dollars, we recognize a substantial amount of revenue under contracts that are denominated in euros, British pounds, Australian dollars and Japanese yen, among other currencies. A significant increase in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to these currencies may have a material adverse effect on the value of those services when translated into U.S. dollars.
We serve many of our U.S.-based, European and British clients from our CX delivery centers located around the world. As a result, a substantial portion of the costs to deliver these services are denominated in the local currency of the country where the services are performed. This creates a foreign exchange exposure for us. As of May 31, 2022, we have hedged a portion of our exposure related to the anticipated cash flow requirements denominated in certain foreign currencies by entering into hedging contracts with institutions to acquire a total of PHP 35,090.0 million at a fixed price of $674.6 million at various dates through May 2024; and INR 20,085.0 million at a fixed price of $253.0 million at various dates through May 2024. The fair value of these derivative instruments as of May 31, 2022 is presented in Note 7 of the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The potential loss in fair value at May 31, 2022 for such contracts resulting from a hypothetical 10% adverse change in the underlying foreign currency exchange rates is approximately $90.8 million. This loss would be substantially mitigated by corresponding gains on the underlying foreign currency exposures.
Other foreign currency exposures arise from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency. We periodically enter into hedging contracts that are not denominated as hedges. The purpose of these derivative instruments is to protect us against foreign currency exposure related receivables, payables and intercompany transactions that are denominated in currencies that are different from the functional currencies of our respective legal entities that are party to the transactions. As of May 31, 2022, the fair value of these derivatives not designated as hedges was a net payable of $0.6 million.
Interest Rate Risk
At May 31, 2022, all of our outstanding debt under the Credit Facility and Securitization Facility is variable debt, which exposes the Company to changes in interest rates. Holding other variables constant, including the total amount of outstanding indebtedness, a one hundred basis point increase in interest rates on our variable-rate debt would cause an estimated increase in interest expense of approximately $23.1 million per year.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) required by 13a-15(b) or 15d-15(b) under the Exchange Act, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in such reports is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

We acquired PK in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022. We are currently in the process of evaluating and integrating the acquired operations, processes, and internal controls. See Note 3 of the consolidated financial statements included in this report for additional information on the acquisition of PK.

Except for the acquisition of PK, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our second fiscal quarter of fiscal year 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, we are involved in legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. We do not believe that these proceedings will have a material adverse effect on the results of our operations, our financial position or the cash flows of our business. During the three months ended May 31, 2022, there were no new material legal proceedings and no material developments in any legal proceedings reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2021.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
You should carefully review and consider the information regarding certain factors that could materially affect our business, results of operations and financial condition set forth in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2021. There have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2021.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
In September 2021, our board of directors authorized the Company to purchase up to $500 million of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock from time to time as market and business conditions warrant, including through open market purchases or Rule 10b5-1 trading plans. The repurchase program has no termination date and may be suspended or discontinued at any time

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
On July 6, 2022, we entered into an amendment to the Securitization Facility to (i) increase the commitment of the lenders to provide available borrowings of up to $500 million, (ii) extend the termination date of the Securitization Facility from October 28, 2022 to July 5, 2024, and (iii) replace LIBOR with SOFR as one of the reference rates used to calculate interest on borrowings under the Securitization Facility. In addition, the interest rate margins were amended, such that borrowings under the Securitization Facility that are funded through the issuance of commercial paper bear interest at the applicable commercial paper rate plus a spread of 0.70% and, otherwise, at a per annum rate equal to the applicable SOFR rate (which includes a SOFR related adjustment of 0.10%), plus a spread of 0.80%.

SECTION 3Administration of the Plan.
(a)Administrative Powers and Responsibilities. The Plan shall be administered by the Committee. The Committee shall have full power and authority, subject to the provisions of the Plan, to promulgate such rules and regulations as it deems necessary for the proper administration of the Plan, to interpret the provisions and supervise the administration of the Plan, and to take all action in connection therewith or in relation thereto as it deems necessary or advisable. Any decision reduced to writing and signed by all of the members of the Committee shall be fully effective as if it had been made at a meeting duly held. The Committee’s determinations under the Plan, unless otherwise determined by the Board, shall be final and binding on all persons. The Company shall pay all expenses incurred in the administration of the Plan. No member of the Committee shall be personally liable for any action, determination, or interpretation made in good faith with respect to the Plan, and all members of the Committee shall be fully indemnified by the Company with respect to any such action, determination or interpretation. The Committee may adopt such rules, guidelines and forms as it deems appropriate to implement the Plan. Subject to the requirements of applicable law, the Committee may designate persons other than members of the Committee to carry out its responsibilities and may prescribe such conditions and limitations as it may deem appropriate. All decisions, interpretations and other actions of the Committee shall be final and binding on all Participants and all persons deriving their rights from a Participant. No member of the Committee shall be liable for any action that he has taken or has failed to take in good faith with respect to the Plan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, the Board may, in its sole discretion, at any time and from time to time, resolve to administer the Plan. In such event, the Board shall have all of the authority and responsibility granted to the Committee herein.
(b)International Administration. The Committee shall establish sub-plans (which need not qualify under Section 423 of the Code) and initiate separate Offerings through such sub-plans for the purpose of (i) facilitating participation in the Plan by non-U.S. employees in compliance with foreign laws and regulations without affecting the qualification of the remainder of the Plan under Section 423 of the Code or (ii) qualifying the Plan for preferred tax treatment under foreign tax laws (which sub-plans, at the Committee’s discretion, may provide for allocations of the authorized shares reserved for issue under the Plan as set forth in Section 14(a)). The rules, guidelines and forms of such sub-plans (or the Offerings thereunder) may take precedence over other provisions of the Plan, with the exception of Section 4(a)(i), Section 5(b),



Section 8(b) and Section 14(a), but unless otherwise superseded by the terms of such sub-plan, the provisions of the Plan shall govern the operation of such sub-plan.
SECTION 4Enrollment and Participation.
(a)Offering Periods. While the Plan is in effect, the Committee may from time to time grant options to purchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Plan to Eligible Employees during a specified Offering Period. Each such Offering shall be in such form and shall contain such terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine, subject to compliance with the terms and conditions of the Plan (which may be incorporated by reference) and the requirements of Section 423 of the Code, including the requirement that all Eligible Employees have the same rights and privileges (except with respect to sub-plans established for the purpose of facilitating participation by non-U.S. employees). The Committee shall specify prior to the commencement of each Offering (i) the period during which the Offering shall be effective, which may not exceed 27 months from the Offering Date and may include one or more successive Purchase Periods within the Offering, (ii) the Purchase Dates and Purchase Price for shares of Common Stock which may be purchased pursuant to the Offering, and (iii) if applicable, any limits on the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable by a Participant, or by all Participants in the aggregate, during any Offering Period or, if applicable, Purchase Period, in each case consistent with the limitations of the Plan. The Committee shall have the discretion to provide for the automatic termination of an Offering following any Purchase Date on which the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock is equal to or less than the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the Offering Date, and for the Participants in the terminated Offering to be automatically re-enrolled in a new Offering that commences immediately after such Purchase Date. The terms and conditions of each Offering need not be identical, and shall be deemed incorporated by reference and made a part of the Plan.
(b)Enrollment. Any individual who, on the day preceding the first day of an Offering Period, qualifies as an Eligible Employee may elect to become a Participant in the Plan for such Offering Period by completing the enrollment process prescribed and communicated for this purpose from time to time by the Company to Eligible Employees. By completing the enrollment process, an Eligible Employee: (i) authorizes the applicable Participating Company to make the relevant payroll deductions from the Eligible Employee’s Compensation on each applicable payday and to pay or apply such amounts to the purchase of Common Stock under the Plan; (ii) agrees to be bound by the terms of any enrollment form and the Plan; and (iii) accepts and consents to any action taken under the Plan by the Committee, the Company or the applicable Participating Company.
(c)Duration of Participation. Once enrolled in the Plan, a Participant shall continue to participate in the Plan until he or she ceases to be an Eligible Employee or withdraws from the Plan under Section 6(a). A Participant who withdrew from the Plan under Section 6(a) may again become a Participant, if he or she then is an Eligible Employee, by following the procedure described in Section 4(b). A Participant whose employee contributions were discontinued automatically shall automatically resume participation at the beginning of the earliest Offering Period ending in the next calendar year, if he or she is then an Eligible Employee. When a Participant reaches the end of an Offering Period but his or her participation is to continue, then such Participant shall automatically be re-enrolled for the Offering Period that commences immediately after the end of the prior Offering Period.
SECTION 5Employee Contributions.
(a)Frequency of Payroll Deductions. A Participant may purchase shares of Common Stock under the Plan solely by means of payroll deductions; provided, however, that to the extent provided in the terms and conditions of an Offering, a Participant may also make contributions



through payment by cash or check prior to one or more Purchase Dates during the Offering. Payroll deductions, subject to the provisions of Section 5(b) or as otherwise provided under the terms and conditions of an Offering, shall occur on each payday during participation in the Plan.
(b)Amount of Payroll Deductions. An Eligible Employee shall designate during the enrollment process the portion of his or her Compensation that he or she elects to have withheld for the purchase of Common Stock. Such portion shall be a whole percentage of the Eligible Employee’s Compensation, but not less than 1% nor more than 15% (or such lower rate of Compensation specified as the limit in the terms and conditions of the applicable Offering). Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the amount of an Eligible Employee’s Compensation that may be withheld for the purchase of Common Stock shall not exceed an amount per calendar year that is equal to the product of (x) $25,000 multiplied by (y) the percentage of Fair Market Value utilized for the Purchase Price, as set forth in Section 8(b).
(c)Changing Withholding Rate. Unless otherwise provided under the terms and conditions of an Offering, a Participant may not increase the rate of payroll withholding during the Offering Period, but may decrease the rate of payroll withholding during the Offering Period to a whole percentage of his or her Compensation in accordance with such procedures and subject to such limitations as the Company may establish for all Participants. A Participant may also increase or decrease the rate of payroll withholding effective for a new Offering Period by submitting an authorization to change the payroll deduction rate pursuant to the process prescribed by the Company from time to time. The new withholding rate shall be a whole percentage of the Eligible Employee’s Compensation consistent with Section 5(b).
(d)Discontinuing Payroll Deductions. If a Participant wishes to discontinue employee contributions entirely, he or she may do so by withdrawing from the Plan pursuant to Section 6(a). In addition, employee contributions may be discontinued automatically pursuant to Section 9(b).
SECTION 6Withdrawal from the Plan.
(a)Withdrawal. A Participant may elect to withdraw from the Plan by giving notice pursuant to the process prescribed and communicated by the Company from time to time. Such withdrawal may be elected at any time before the last day of an Offering Period, except as otherwise provided in the Offering. In addition, if payment by cash or check is permitted under the terms and conditions of an Offering, Participants may be deemed to withdraw from the Plan by declining or failing to remit timely payment to the Company for the shares of Common Stock. As soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, payroll deductions shall cease and the entire amount credited to the Participant’s Plan Account shall be refunded to him or her in cash, without interest. No partial withdrawals shall be permitted.
(b)Re-enrollment After Withdrawal. A former Participant who has withdrawn from the Plan shall not be a Participant until he or she re-enrolls in the Plan in accordance with the terms hereof. Re-enrollment may be effective only at the commencement of an Offering Period.
SECTION 7Change in Employment Status.
(a)Termination of Employment. Termination of employment as an Eligible Employee for any reason, including death, shall be treated as an automatic withdrawal from the Plan under Section 6(a). A transfer from one Participating Company to another shall not be treated as a termination of employment.
(b)Leave of Absence. For purposes of the Plan, employment shall not be deemed to terminate when the Participant goes on a military leave, a sick leave or another bona fide leave of



absence, if the leave was approved by the Company in writing. For purposes of the Plan, employment, however, shall be deemed to terminate three (3) months after the Participant goes on a leave, unless a contract or statute guarantees his or her right to return to work. Employment shall be deemed to terminate in any event when the approved leave ends, unless the Participant immediately returns to work.
(c)Death. In the event of the Participant’s death, the amount credited to his or her Plan Account shall be paid to the Participant’s estate.
SECTION 8Plan Accounts and Purchase of Shares.
(a)Plan Accounts. The Company shall maintain a Plan Account on its books in the name of each Participant. Whenever an amount is deducted from the Participant’s Compensation under the Plan, such amount shall be credited to the Participant’s Plan Account. Amounts credited to Plan Accounts shall not be trust funds and may be commingled with the Company’s general assets and applied to general corporate purposes. No interest will accrue, be credited or be paid to Participants in respect of any amounts credited to the Participant’s Plan Account.
(b)Purchase Price. The Purchase Price for each share of Common Stock purchased during an Offering Period shall be the lesser of:
(i)95% of the Fair Market Value of such share on the Purchase Date; or
(ii)95% of the Fair Market Value of such share on the Offering Date.
The Committee may specify an alternative Purchase Price amount or formula in the terms and conditions of an Offering, but in no event may such amount or formula result in a Purchase Price less than that calculated pursuant to the immediately preceding formula.
(c)Number of Shares Purchased. As of each Purchase Date, each Participant shall be deemed to have elected to purchase the number of shares of Common Stock calculated in accordance with this Section 8(c), unless the Participant has previously elected to withdraw from the Plan in accordance with Section 6(a). The amount then in the Participant’s Plan Account shall be divided by the Purchase Price and rounded down to the nearest whole number, and the number of shares that results shall be purchased from the Company with the funds in the Participant’s Plan Account. Unless provided otherwise by the Committee prior to commencement of an Offering, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock which may be purchased by an individual Participant during an Offering is 500 shares. The foregoing notwithstanding, no Participant shall purchase more than such number of shares of Common Stock as may be determined by the Committee with respect to the Offering Period, or Purchase Period, if applicable, nor more than the amounts of Common Stock set forth in Sections 9(b) and 14(a). For each Offering Period and, if applicable, Purchase Period, the Committee shall have the authority to establish additional limits on the number of shares purchasable by all Participants in the aggregate.
(d)Available Shares Insufficient. In the event that the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that all Participants elect to purchase during an Offering Period exceeds the maximum number of shares remaining available for issuance under Section 14(a), or which may be purchased pursuant to any additional aggregate limits imposed by the Committee, then the number of shares to which each Participant is entitled shall be determined by multiplying the number of shares available for issuance by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares that such Participant has elected to purchase and the denominator of which is the number of shares that all Participants have elected to purchase.



(e)Issuance of Common Stock. Shares may be registered in the name of the Participant or jointly in the name of the Participant and his or her spouse as joint tenants with right of survivorship or as community property.
(f)Unused Cash Balances. An amount remaining in the Participant’s Plan Account that represents the Purchase Price for any fractional share shall be refunded to the Participant in cash at the end of the Offering Period, without interest. Any amount remaining in the Participant’s Plan Account that represents the Purchase Price for whole shares that could not be purchased by reason of Section 8(c), Section 8(d), Section 9(b) or Section 14(a) shall be refunded to the Participant in cash, without interest.
(g)Stockholder Approval. The Plan shall be submitted to the stockholders of the Company for their approval within twelve (12) months after the date the Plan is adopted by the Board. Any other provision of the Plan notwithstanding, no shares of Common Stock shall be purchased under the Plan unless and until the Company’s stockholders have approved the adoption of the Plan.
SECTION 9Limitations on Stock Ownership.
(a)Five Percent Limit. Any other provision of the Plan notwithstanding, no Participant shall be granted a right to purchase Common Stock under the Plan if such Participant, immediately after his or her election to purchase such Common Stock, would own shares of Common Stock, together with any other equity interests, representing 5% or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of the Company or any parent or Subsidiary of the Company. For purposes of this Section 9(a), the following rules shall apply:
(i)Ownership of stock shall be determined after applying the attribution rules of Section 424(d) of the Code;
(ii)Each Participant shall be deemed to own any stock that he or she has a right or option to purchase under this or any other plan; and
(iii)Each Participant shall be deemed to have the right to purchase up to the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be purchased by a Participant under this Plan under the individual limit specified pursuant to Section 8(c) with respect to each Offering Period.
(b)Dollar Limit. Any other provision of the Plan notwithstanding, no Participant shall accrue the right to purchase Common Stock at a rate which exceeds $25,000 of Fair Market Value of such Common Stock per calendar year (under this Plan and all other employee stock purchase plans of the Company or any parent or Subsidiary of the Company), determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 423(b)(8) of the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.
For purposes of this Section 9(b), the Fair Market Value of Common Stock shall be determined as of the beginning of the Offering Period in which such Common Stock is purchased. Employee stock purchase plans not described in Section 423 of the Code shall be disregarded, and this dollar limit shall not apply to such plans. If a Participant is precluded by this Section 9(b) from purchasing additional Common Stock under the Plan, then his or her employee contributions shall automatically be discontinued and shall resume at the beginning of the earliest Offering Period ending in the next calendar year (if he or she then is an Eligible Employee).



SECTION 10Rights Not Transferable.
The rights of any Participant under the Plan, or any Participant’s interest in any Common Stock or cash to which he or she may be entitled under the Plan, shall not be transferable by voluntary or involuntary assignment or by operation of law, or in any other manner other than by the laws of descent and distribution. If a Participant in any manner attempts to transfer, assign or otherwise encumber his or her rights or interest under the Plan, other than by the laws of descent and distribution, then such act shall be treated as an election by the Participant to withdraw from the Plan under Section 6(a).
SECTION 11No Rights as an Employee
Nothing in the Plan or in any right granted under the Plan shall confer upon any Eligible Employee or Participant any right to become or remain an employee of a Participating Company (or any affiliate thereof) or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of the Participating Company (or any affiliate thereof), which rights are hereby expressly reserved, to terminate the employment of such person at any time and for any reason, with or without cause, except as otherwise restricted by applicable law.
SECTION 12No Rights as a Stockholder.
A Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares of Common Stock that he or she may have a right to purchase under the Plan unless and until such shares have been purchased on the applicable Purchase Date.
SECTION 13Securities Law Requirements.
Shares of Common Stock shall not be issued under the Plan unless the issuance and delivery of such shares comply with (or are exempt from) all applicable requirements of law, including (without limitation) the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, state securities laws and regulations, and the regulations of any stock exchange or other securities market on which the Company’s securities may then be traded, to the extent applicable.
SECTION 14Stock Offered under the Plan.
(a)Authorized Shares. The maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock available for purchase under the Plan is 1,000,000 shares. The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock available for purchase under the Plan shall at all times be subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 14(b).
(b)Anti-dilution Adjustments. The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock offered under the Plan, the individual and aggregate Participant share limitations described in Section 8(c) and the price of shares that any Participant has elected to purchase shall be adjusted proportionately by the Committee in the event of any change in the number of issued shares of Common Stock (or issuance of shares other than Common Stock) by reason of any forward or reverse share split, subdivision or consolidation, or share dividend or bonus issue, recapitalization, reclassification, merger, amalgamation, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, reorganization, combination, exchange of shares of Common Stock, or any other change in corporate structure or in the event of any extraordinary distribution (whether in the form of cash, shares of Common Stock, other securities or other property).
(c)Reorganizations. Any other provision of the Plan notwithstanding, in the event of a Corporate Reorganization in which the Plan is not assumed by the surviving corporation or its



parent corporation pursuant to the applicable plan of merger or consolidation, the Offering Period then in progress shall terminate immediately prior to the effective time of such Corporate Reorganization and either shares of Common Stock shall be purchased pursuant to Section 8 or, if so determined by the Board or Committee, all amounts in all Participant Accounts shall be refunded pursuant to Section 15 without any purchase of shares of Common Stock. The Plan shall in no event be construed to restrict in any way the Company’s right to undertake a dissolution, liquidation, merger, consolidation or other reorganization.
SECTION 15Amendment or Discontinuance.
The Board or Committee shall have the right to amend, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time and without notice. Upon any such amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan during an Offering Period, the Board or Committee may in its discretion determine that the applicable Offering shall immediately terminate and that all amounts in the Participant Accounts shall be carried forward into a payroll deduction account for each Participant under a successor plan, if any, or promptly refunded to each Participant. Except as provided in Section 14, any increase in the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to be issued under the Plan shall be subject to approval by a vote of the stockholders of the Company. In addition, any other amendment of the Plan shall be subject to approval by a vote of the stockholders of the Company to the extent required by applicable law or regulation. This Plan shall continue until the earlier to occur of (a) termination of this Plan pursuant to this Section 15 or (b) issuance of all of the shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under this Plan.
SECTION 16Execution.
To record the adoption of the Plan by the Board, the Company has caused its authorized officer to execute the same.

CONCENTRIX CORPORATION
INTERNATIONAL EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
(as adopted by the Board of Directors on November 12, 2020)
(Effective on December 1, 2020)
(A Sub-Plan of the Concentrix Corporation 2020 Employee Stock Purchase Plan)
SECTION 1Purpose of the Sub-Plan.
Concentrix Corporation (the “Company”) adopts this Concentrix Corporation International Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Sub-Plan”), effective as of December 1, 2020 to provide Eligible Employees (as defined below) of Participating Companies organized in jurisdictions outside of the United States (each such Participating Company, an “Employer”) with an opportunity to increase their proprietary interest in the success of the Company by purchasing Common Stock from the Company on favorable terms and to pay for such purchases through payroll deductions. The Sub-Plan is a component of the Concentrix Corporation Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Plan”) and subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan to the extent not provided otherwise herein. However, the Sub-Plan is not intended to qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” under Section 423 of the Code. In the event of any inconsistency between this Sub-Plan and the Plan, the terms of the Sub-Plan prevail. Any terms that are capitalized but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Plan.
SECTION 2Definitions.
(a)Eligible Employee” means any employee of a Participating Company who has rendered services as an employee for at least six (6) months after the employee’s date of hire with the Company or a Participating Company and whose customary employment is for more than five (5) months per calendar year and for more than twenty (20) hours per week that the Company, in its sole discretion, determines shall receive an Invitation. The foregoing notwithstanding, an individual shall not be considered an Eligible Employee if his or her participation in the Plan is prohibited by the law of any country which has jurisdiction over him or her.
(b)Invitation” means the written or electronic offering document inviting an Eligible Employee to participate in the Sub-Plan.
(c)Participant” means an Eligible Employee who received an Invitation to participate in the Sub-Plan, who elects to participate in the Sub-Plan in accordance with the terms hereof.
(d)“Section” means the applicable section of this Sub-Plan, unless expressly identified as a reference to the applicable section of the Plan.

SECTION 3Enrollment and Participation.
(a)Offering Periods. While the Sub-Plan is in effect, the Committee may from time to time, in its discretion, issue or cause to be issued an Invitation on behalf of the Company to any Eligible Employee to purchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Plan during a



specified Offering Period. Each such Invitation shall be in such form and shall contain such terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine, subject to compliance with the terms and conditions of the Sub-Plan (which may be incorporated by reference) and the requirements of applicable law. An Invitation must be issued with an enrollment form and such explanatory or other material in respect of the Plan and Sub-Plan as the Committee or the Company in its discretion considers appropriate, or as required by applicable law. The Committee or the Company may in its absolute discretion amend an Invitation for any reason at any time prior to the enrollment deadline for the applicable Offering Period. The Committee shall specify prior to the commencement of each Offering (i) the period during which the Offering shall be effective, which may not exceed 27 months from the Offering Date and may include one or more successive Purchase Periods within the Offering, (ii) the Purchase Dates and Purchase Price for shares of Common Stock which may be purchased pursuant to the Offering, and (iii) if applicable, any limits on the number of shares purchasable by a Participant, or by all Participants in the aggregate, during any Offering Period or, if applicable, Purchase Period, in each case consistent with the limitations of the Sub-Plan. The Committee shall have the discretion to provide for the automatic termination of an Offering following any Purchase Date on which the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock is equal to or less than the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the Offering Date, and for the Participants in the terminated Offering to be automatically re-enrolled in a new Offering that commences immediately after such Purchase Date. The terms and conditions of each Offering need not be identical, and shall be deemed incorporated by reference and made a part of the Sub-Plan.
(b)Enrollment. Any individual who, on the day preceding the first day of an Offering Period, qualifies as an Eligible Employee may elect to become a Participant in the Sub-Plan for such Offering Period in response to an Invitation by returning a duly completed enrollment form on or before the relevant enrollment deadline. By returning a duly completed enrollment form, an Eligible Employee: (i) authorizes his or her Employer to make the relevant payroll deductions from the Eligible Employee’s Compensation on each applicable payday and to pay or apply such amounts to the purchase of Common Stock under the Sub-Plan; (ii) agrees to be bound by the terms of the Invitation, the enrollment form, the Plan and the Sub-Plan; and (iii) accepts and consents to any action taken under the Sub-Plan by the Committee, the Company or the Employer.
(c)Duration of Participation. Once enrolled in the Sub-Plan, a Participant shall continue to participate in the Sub-Plan until he or she ceases to be an Eligible Employee or withdraws from the Plan. A Participant who remains an Eligible Employee through an Offering Period shall be deemed to remain a Participant in the immediately following Offering Period unless the Company, in its sole discretion, determines that the Participant is no longer an Eligible Employee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Participant ceases to be an Eligible Employee due to a transfer of employment to the Company or another Subsidiary, then no further payroll deductions will be made on behalf of the Participant under the Sub-Plan, the amount credited to the Participant’s Plan Account shall be applied to the purchase of whole shares of Common Stock on the applicable Purchase Date, and any balance credited to the Participant’s Plan Account shall be returned to the Participant in one lump sum payment as soon as practicable thereafter, without any interest thereon. After such purchase, the Participant shall cease to participate in the Sub-Plan. A Participant who withdrew from the Plan may again become a Participant, if he or she then is an Eligible Employee, by following the procedure described in Section 3(b). Termination of employment as an Eligible Employee for any reason, including death, shall be treated as an automatic withdrawal from the Plan under Section 6 of the Plan.
(d)Dollar Limit. Any other provision of the Sub-Plan notwithstanding, no Participant shall accrue the right to purchase Common Stock at a rate which exceeds $25,000 of Fair Market Value of such Common Stock per calendar year (under this Plan and all other employee stock purchase plans of the Company or any parent or Subsidiary of the Company).



For purposes of this Section 3(d), the Fair Market Value of Common Stock shall be determined as of the beginning of the Offering Period in which such Common Stock is purchased. If a Participant is precluded by this Section 3(d) from purchasing additional Common Stock under the Plan, then his or her employee contributions shall automatically be discontinued and shall resume at the beginning of the earliest Offering Period ending in the next calendar year (if he or she then is an Eligible Employee).
SECTION 4Employee Contributions.
(a)Frequency of Payroll Deductions. A Participant may purchase shares of Common Stock under the Plan solely by means of payroll deductions; provided, however, that to the extent provided in the terms and conditions of an Offering, a Participant may also make contributions through payment by cash or check prior to one or more Purchase Dates during the Offering. Payroll deductions, subject to the provisions of Section 4(b) or as otherwise provided under the terms and conditions of an Offering, shall occur on each payday during participation in the Plan.
(b)Amount of Payroll Deductions. An Eligible Employee shall designate during the enrollment process the portion of his or her Compensation that he or she elects to have withheld for the purchase of Common Stock. Such portion shall be a whole percentage of the Eligible Employee’s Compensation, but not less than 1% nor more than 15% (or such lower rate of Compensation specified as the limit in the terms and conditions of the applicable Offering). Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the amount of an Eligible Employee’s Compensation that may be withheld for the purchase of Common Stock shall not exceed an amount per calendar year that is equal to the product of (x) $25,000 multiplied by (y) the percentage of Fair Market Value utilized for the Purchase Price, as set forth in Section 8(b) of the Plan, as such limit is converted into the applicable local currency in accordance with Section 5(b).
(c)Changing Withholding Rate. Unless otherwise provided under the terms and conditions of an Offering, a Participant may not increase the rate of payroll withholding during the Offering Period, but may decrease the rate of payroll withholding during the Offering Period to a whole percentage of his or her Compensation in accordance with such procedures and subject to such limitations as the Company may establish for all Participants. A Participant may also increase or decrease the rate of payroll withholding effective for a new Offering Period by submitting an authorization to change the payroll deduction rate pursuant to the process prescribed by the Company from time to time. The new withholding rate shall be a whole percentage of the Eligible Employee’s Compensation consistent with Section 4(b).
(d)Discontinuing Payroll Deductions. If a Participant wishes to discontinue employee contributions entirely, he or she may do so by withdrawing from the Plan pursuant to Section 6 of the Plan. In addition, employee contributions may be discontinued automatically as provided in Section 3(d).
(e)Plan Account. Pending purchase of shares of Common Stock in accordance with Section 5, a Participant’s accumulated contributions will be credited to a Plan Account on behalf of the Participant in the local currency in which the Participant’s salary is paid. The Participant’s Employer may, but is not obligated to, establish a bank or other custodial account to hold contributions pending application to the purchase of Common Stock. However, amounts credited to Plan Accounts shall not be trust funds and may be commingled with the Employer’s or the Company’s general assets and applied to general corporate purposes. No interest will accrue, be credited or be paid to Participants in respect of any amounts credited to the Participant’s Plan Account.




SECTION 5Conversion of Plan Account into U.S. Currency.
(a)Conversion to U.S. Dollars. For the purposes of determining the number of shares of Common Stock subject to purchase by a Participant on a Purchase Date, the amount accumulated as of the relevant Purchase Date and credited to the Participant’s Plan Account on such Purchase Date shall be converted from local currency into U.S. currency on the relevant Purchase Date or such other time as the Company, in its discretion, may reasonably establish, and at the exchange rate utilized on the Company’s general ledger, or at such other exchange rate, as the Company, in its discretion, may reasonably utilize.

(b)Conversion to Local Currency. If an Employer returns to a Participant any amounts credited to the Participant’s Plan Account, it must do so in the Participant’s local currency (converted, if necessary, at such time as the Company, in its discretion, may reasonably establish and at the exchange rate utilized on the Company’s general ledger or such other exchange rate as the Company, in its discretion, may reasonably utilize).

SECTION 6Miscellaneous
(a)Effect of Addenda. From time to time, the Committee may adopt one or more country-specific addenda for the purpose of specifying additional or different terms and conditions applicable to Eligible Employees of Employers located in the relevant country. In case of any conflict between the provisions in the body of the Sub-Plan and the provision in the applicable addendum, the terms of the addendum govern.
(b)Effect of Certain Plan Terms.
(i)Sections 4, 5, 7(a), 8(a) and 9(b) of the Plan do not apply to the Sub-Plan.
(ii)Any adjustments to shares of Common Stock provided under Section 14(b) of the Plan, including any changes to the Purchase Price, Purchase Date or number of shares of Common Stock, shall be subject to applicable law.
(iii)All Sections of the Plan not identified in Section 2 or this Section 6(b) apply to the Sub-Plan as if set forth verbatim herein.
(c)No Retention Rights. No provision in the Plan, Sub-Plan or any Invitation available under the Sub-Plan shall be construed to give any Eligible Employee or Participant any right to become or remain an employee of an Employer (or any affiliate thereof) or interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of an Employer (or applicable affiliate thereof), which rights are expressly reserved, to terminate the employment of such person at any time and for any reason, with or without cause, except as otherwise restricted by applicable law.

(d)No Guaranty of Gain. None of the Company, its Subsidiaries or the Employer guaranties that the value of Common Stock will increase during or after the Offering Period. Among other factors, the value of Common Stock to a Participant varies according to its demand on the stock market and changes in the exchange rate between the applicable local currency and the U.S. dollar.

(e)Waiver. No failure, delay or indulgence by a party in exercising any power or right under the Sub-Plan will operate as a waiver of such power or right. No single exercise of any power or right under the Sub-Plan will preclude any other or future exercise of that (or any other) power or right.




(f)Severability. If any provision of the Sub-Plan is rendered void, unenforceable or otherwise ineffective, such avoidance, unenforceability or ineffectiveness will not affect the enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Sub-Plan or any provision of the Plan.

SECTION 7Execution.
To record the adoption of the Sub-Plan by the Board, the Company has caused its authorized officer to execute the same.

(2)    a public statement or publication of information by a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent, the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof), the Federal Reserve Board, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component), a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component) or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or

    (d)    The Borrower shall repay in full the outstanding Capital of each Lender on the Maturity Date.

    (e)    The Borrower may, at any time upon at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent (any such notice a “Facility Limit Reduction Notice”), terminate the Facility Limit in whole or ratably reduce the Facility Limit in part.

    Section 2.04.    Records of Loans. Each Group Agent shall record in its records, the date and amount of each Loan made by the Lenders in its Group, the interest rate with respect thereto, the Interest accrued thereon and each repayment and payment thereof. Subject to Section 14.03(c), such records shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error. The failure to so record any such information or any error in so recording any such information shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents to repay the Capital of each Lender, together with all Interest accruing thereon and all other Borrower Obligations.
    Section 2.05.    Selection of Interest Rates . (a) Subject to the following sentence, each Lender’s Capital (including all portions thereof) shall accrue Interest initially at Daily 1M SOFR plus the SOFR Adjustment. Thereafter, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower may from time to time elect to change or continue the type of SOFR Rate borne by the Lenders’ Capital or, subject to the minimum amount requirement set forth in Section 2.02, a portion thereof by notice to the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time), one (1) Business Day prior to the expiration of any Interest Period, as applicable; provided, that there shall not be more than three (3) Term SOFR Tranches outstanding hereunder at any one time; provided, further, that for the avoidance of doubt, any change from Daily 1M SOFR to the Term SOFR Rate applicable to any Capital (or portion thereof) shall not be effective until the first day of the calendar month occurring after the date of such request. Any such notices requesting the continuation or conversion of any Capital (or any portion thereof) to the Administrative Agent may be given by telephone, telecopy, or other telecommunication device acceptable to the Administrative Agent (which notice shall be irrevocable once given and, if by telephone, shall be promptly confirmed in writing in a manner acceptable to the Administrative Agent).
    (b)    If, by the time required in Section 2.05(a), the Borrower fails to select a SOFR Rate for any Capital (or portion thereof), such Capital (or portion thereof) shall automatically accrue Interest at Daily 1M SOFR plus the SOFR Adjustment for the next occurring Interest Period.
    Section 2.06.    Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Committed Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Committed Lender is a Defaulting Lender:
    (a)    Commitment Fees (as defined in the Fee Letter) shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender.
-43-



    (b)    The Commitment and Capital of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Majority Group Agents have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 14.01); provided, that, except as otherwise provided in Section 14.01, this clause (b) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of such Committed Lender or each Committed Lender directly affected thereby (if such Lender is directly affected thereby).
    (c)    In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Servicer each agrees in writing that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then on such date such Committed Lender (or a member of such Committed Lender’s Group) shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Committed Lender’s Group to hold such Loans in accordance with its Pro Rata Percentage; provided, that no adjustments shall be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while such Committed Lender was a Defaulting Lender, and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender that is not a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender having been a Defaulting Lender.

Article IV

Settlement Procedures and Payment Provisions
    Section 4.01.    Settlement Procedures. (a) The Servicer shall set aside and hold in trust in the Collection Accounts for the benefit of the Secured Parties (or, if so requested by the Administrative Agent, segregate in a separate account designated by the Administrative Agent in the name of the Borrower), for application in accordance with the priority of payments set forth below, all Collections on Pool Receivables (other than Foreign Currency Receivables) that are received by the Servicer or the Borrower or received in any Lock-Box or Collection Account; provided, however, that so long as each of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 6.04 are satisfied on any date, the Servicer may release to the Borrower from such Collections the amount (if any) necessary to pay (x) the purchase price for Receivables purchased by the Borrower on such date in accordance with the terms of the Receivables Purchase Agreement or (y) amounts owing by the Borrower to any Originator under any Subordinated Notes (each such release of Collections, a “Reinvestment”). On each Settlement Date, the Servicer (or, following its assumption of control of the Collection Accounts, the Administrative Agent) shall, distribute such Collections in the following order of priority:
    (i)    first, to the Servicer for the payment of the accrued Servicing Fees payable for the immediately preceding Interest Period (plus, if applicable, the amount of Servicing Fees payable for any prior Interest Period to the extent such amount has not been distributed to the Servicer);
-45-



    (ii)    second, to each Lender and other Credit Party (ratably, based on the amount then due and owing), all accrued and unpaid Interest, Fees and Breakage Fees due to such Lender and other Credit Party for the immediately preceding Interest Period (including any additional amounts or indemnified amounts payable under Sections 5.03 and 13.01 in respect of such payments), plus, if applicable, the amount of any such Interest, Fees and Breakage Fees (including any additional amounts or indemnified amounts payable under Sections 5.03 and 13.01 in respect of such payments) payable for any prior Interest Period to the extent such amount has not been distributed to such Lender or Credit Party;
    (iii)    third, as set forth in clause (x), (y) or (z) below, as applicable:
    (x)    prior to the occurrence of the Termination Date, to the extent that a Borrowing Base Deficit exists on such date, to the Lenders (ratably, based on the aggregate outstanding Capital of each Lender at such time) for the payment of a portion of the outstanding Aggregate Capital at such time, in an aggregate amount equal to the amount necessary to reduce the Borrowing Base Deficit to zero ($0);
    (y)    on and after the occurrence of the Termination Date, to each Lender (ratably, based on the aggregate outstanding Capital of each Lender at such time) for the payment in full of the aggregate outstanding Capital of such Lender at such time; or
    (z)    prior to the occurrence of the Termination Date, at the election of the Borrower and in accordance with Section 2.02(d), to the payment of all or any portion of the outstanding Capital of the Lenders at such time (ratably, based on the aggregate outstanding Capital of each Lender at such time);
    (iv)    fourth, to the Credit Parties, the Affected Persons and the Borrower Indemnified Parties (ratably, based on the amount due and owing at such time), for the payment of all other Borrower Obligations then due and owing by the Borrower to the Credit Parties, the Affected Persons and the Borrower Indemnified Parties; and
    (v)    fifth, the balance, if any, to be paid to the Borrower for its own account.
    (b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 4.01, the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to distribute or pay any amount under this Section 4.01 except to the extent actually received by the Administrative Agent. All payments or distributions to be made by the Servicer, the Borrower and any other Person to the Lenders (or their respective related Affected Persons and the Borrower Indemnified Parties) hereunder shall be paid or distributed to the Administrative Agent’s Account.  The Administrative Agent, upon its receipt in the Administrative Agent’s Account of any such payments or distributions, shall distribute such amounts to the applicable Group Agent; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall have received insufficient funds to pay all of the above amounts in full on any such date, the Administrative Agent shall pay such amounts to the applicable Group Agents in accordance with the priority of payments set forth above, and with respect to any such category above for
-46-



which there are insufficient funds to pay all amounts owing on such date, ratably (based on the amounts in such categories owing to each such Group) among all such Groups entitled to payment thereof. Each Group Agent, upon its receipt in the applicable Group Agent’s Account of any such payments or distributions, shall distribute such amounts to the applicable Lenders, Affected Persons and the Borrower Indemnified Parties within its Group ratably; provided that if such Group Agent shall have received insufficient funds to pay all of the above amounts in full on any such date, such Group Agent shall pay such amounts to the applicable Lenders, Affected Persons and the Borrower Indemnified Parties within its Group in accordance with the priority of payments set forth above, and with respect to any such category above for which there are insufficient funds to pay all amounts owing on such date, ratably (based on the amounts in such categories owing to each such Person in such Group) among all such Persons in such Group entitled to payment thereof. Each Lender and Group Agent hereby covenants and agrees to provide timely and accurate responses to each of the Administrative Agent’s requests for information necessary for the Administrative Agent to make the allocations to the Lenders and the Group Agents required to be made by the Administrative Agent hereunder, including the applicable account of each Lender or Group Agent for which amounts should be distributed.
    (c)    If and to the extent the Administrative Agent, any Credit Party, any Affected Person or any Borrower Indemnified Party shall be required for any reason to pay over to any Person (including any Obligor or any trustee, receiver, custodian or similar official in an Insolvency Proceeding) any amount received on its behalf hereunder, such amount shall be deemed not to have been so received by such Person but rather to have been retained by the Borrower and, accordingly, the Administrative Agent, such Credit Party, such Affected Person or such Borrower Indemnified Party, as the case may be, shall have a claim against the Borrower for such amount.
    (d)    For the purposes of this Section 4.01:
    (i)    if on any day the Outstanding Balance of any Pool Receivable is reduced or adjusted as a result of any defective, rejected, returned, repossessed or foreclosed goods or services, or any revision, cancellation, allowance, rebate, credit memo, discount or other adjustment made by the Borrower, any Originator, the Servicer or any Affiliate of the Servicer, or any setoff, counterclaim or resolution of a dispute between or among the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower, an Originator or any Affiliate of an Originator, or the Servicer or any Affiliate of the Servicer, and an Obligor, the Borrower shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection of such Pool Receivable in the amount of such reduction or adjustment and shall pay any and all such amounts in respect thereof to a Collection Account (or as otherwise directed by the Administrative Agent at such time) promptly (but no later than two (2) Business Days) for the benefit of the Credit Parties for application pursuant to Section 4.01(a);
    (ii)    if on any day any of the representations or warranties in Section 7.01 is not true with respect to any Pool Receivable, the Borrower shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection of such Pool Receivable in full and shall pay the amount of such deemed Collection to a Collection Account (or as otherwise directed by the Administrative Agent at such time) promptly (but no later than two (2) Business
-47-



Days) for the benefit of the Credit Parties for application pursuant to Section 4.01(a) (Collections deemed to have been received pursuant to Section 4.01(d) are hereinafter sometimes referred to as “Deemed Collections”); and
    (iii)    except as provided in clauses (i) or (ii) above or otherwise required by Applicable Law or the relevant Contract, all Collections received from an Obligor of any Receivable shall be applied to the Receivables of such Obligor in the order of the age of such Receivables, starting with the oldest such Receivable, unless such Obligor designates in writing its payment for application to specific Receivables.
    Section 4.02.    Payments and Computations, Etc. (a) All amounts to be paid by the Borrower or the Servicer to the Administrative Agent, any Credit Party, any Affected Person or any Borrower Indemnified Party hereunder shall be paid no later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the day when due in same day funds to the Administrative Agent’s Account.
    (b)    Each of the Borrower and the Servicer shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, pay interest on any amount for each day not paid or deposited by it when due hereunder, at an interest rate per annum equal to 2.00% per annum above the Base Rate, payable on demand.
    (c)    All computations of interest under subsection (b) above and all computations of Interest, Fees and other amounts hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days (or, in the case of amounts determined by reference to the Base Rate, 365 or 366 days, as applicable) for the actual number of days (including the first but excluding the last day) elapsed. Whenever any payment or deposit to be made hereunder shall be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment or deposit shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of such payment or deposit.
Article V

Increased Costs; Funding Losses; Taxes; and Illegality
    Section 5.01.    Increased Costs.
    (a)    Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:
    (i)    impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, liquidity, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Affected Person (except any such reserve requirements reflected in the Term SOFR Rate or Daily 1M SOFR);
    (ii)    subject any Affected Person to any Taxes (other than Indemnified Taxes, Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes, and Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or
-48-



    (iii)    impose on any Affected Person any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) (A) affecting the Collateral, this Agreement, any other Transaction Document, any Program Support Agreement, any Loan or any participation therein or (B) affecting its obligations or rights to make Loans;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Affected Person of (A) acting as the Administrative Agent, Group Agent or a Lender hereunder or as a Program Support Provider with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, (B) funding or maintaining any Loan or (C) maintaining its obligation to fund or maintain any Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Affected Person hereunder, then, upon request of such Affected Person (or its Group Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Affected Person such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Person for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered in accordance with Section 5.01(d).
    (b)    Capital and Liquidity Requirements. If any Affected Person determines that any Change in Law affecting such Affected Person or any lending office of such Affected Person or such Affected Person’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of (x) increasing the amount of capital required to be maintained by such Affected Person or Affected Person’s holding company, if any, or increasing the amount of high quality liquid assets such Affected Person or Affected Person’s holding company, if any, is required to maintain as a result of any funding commitment made by such Affected Person under any Transaction Document, (y) reducing the rate of return on such Affected Person’s capital or on the capital of such Affected Person’s holding company, if any, or (z) causing an internal capital or liquidity charge or other imputed cost to be assessed upon such Affected Person or Affected Person’s holding company, if any, in each case, as a consequence of (A) this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, (B) the commitments of such Affected Person hereunder or any related Program Support Agreement, (C) the Loans made by such Affected Person, or (D) any Capital, to a level below that which such Affected Person or such Affected Person’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Affected Person’s policies and the policies of such Affected Person’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time, upon request of such Affected Person (or its Group Agent), the Borrower will pay to such Affected Person such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Person or such Affected Person’s holding company for any such increase, reduction or charge.
    (c)    Adoption of Changes in Law. The Borrower acknowledges that any Affected Person may institute measures in anticipation of a Change in Law (including, without limitation, the imposition of internal charges on such Affected Person’s interests or obligations under any Transaction Document), and may commence allocating charges to or seeking compensation from the Borrower under this Section 5.01 in connection with such measures, in advance of the effective date of such Change in Law, and the Borrower agrees to pay such charges or compensation to such Affected Person, following demand therefor in accordance with the terms of this Section 5.01, without regard to whether such effective date has occurred.
    (d)    Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of an Affected Person (or its Group Agent on its behalf) setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Affected
-49-



Person or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in clause (a), (b) or (c) of this Section and delivered to the Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall, subject to the priorities of payment set forth in Section 4.01, pay such Affected Person the amount shown as due on any such certificate on the later of (i) the first Settlement Date occurring after the Borrower’s receipt of such certificate and (ii) ten (10) days after the Borrower’s receipt of such certificate.
    (e)    Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Affected Person to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Affected Person’s right to demand such compensation provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate an Affected Person pursuant to this Section 5.01 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Affected Person notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Affected Person’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
    Section 5.02.    Funding Losses. (a) The Borrower will pay each Lender all Breakage Fees as and when due and owing.
    (b)    A certificate of a Lender (or the its Group Agent on its behalf) setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender, as specified in clause (a) above and delivered to the Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall, subject to the priorities of payment set forth in Section 4.01, pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate on the later of (i) the first Settlement Date occurring after the Borrower’s receipt of such certificate and (ii) ten (10) days after the Borrower’s receipt of such certificate.
    Section 5.03.    Taxes.
    (a)    Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation under any Transaction Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by such withholding agent, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 5.03), the applicable Affected Person or Borrower Indemnified Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
    (b)    Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or, at the option of the Administrative Agent, timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
-50-



    (c)    Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify each Affected Person, within ten days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 5.03) payable or paid by such Affected Person or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Affected Person and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate any Affected Person pursuant to this Section 5.03 for any Indemnified Taxes unless such Affected Person requests compensation from the Borrower not later than 180 days after the earlier of (i) the date on which the relevant Governmental Authority makes written demand upon such Affected Person for payment of such Indemnified Taxes, and (ii) the date on which such Affected Person has made payment of such Indemnified Taxes. A certificate that states the amount of such payment or liability shall be delivered to the Borrower by an Affected Person (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) together with all backup information and documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of an Affected Person and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
    (d)    Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender (other than the Conduit Lenders) shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender, its Related Conduit Lender or any of their respective Affiliates that are Affected Persons (but only to the extent that the Borrower and its Affiliates have not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting any obligation of the Borrower, the Servicer or their Affiliates to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to the failure of such Lender, its Related Conduit Lender or any of their respective Affiliates that are Affected Persons to comply with Section 14.03(f) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, its Related Conduit Lender or any of their respective Affiliates that are Affected Persons, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Transaction Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender (or its Group Agent) by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender (other than the Conduit Lenders) hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender, or any of their respective Affiliates that are Affected Persons under any Transaction Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender, its Related Conduit Lender or any of their respective Affiliates that are Affected Persons from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this clause (d).
    (e)    Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 5.03, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
-51-



    (f)    Status of Affected Persons. (i) Any Affected Person that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Transaction Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Affected Person, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Affected Person is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 5.03(f)(ii)(A), 5.03(f)(ii)(B) and 5.03(g)) shall not be required if, in the Affected Person’s reasonable judgment, such completion, execution or submission would subject such Affected Person to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Affected Person.
    (ii)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:
    (A)    any Affected Person that is a “United States Person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or about the date on which such Affected Person becomes a party hereto (and from time to time upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying that such Affected Person is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding Tax;
    (B)    any Affected Person that is not a “United States Person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Foreign Affected Person”) shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) on or about the date on which such Foreign Affected Person becomes an Affected Person with respect to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

    (C)    any Foreign Affected Person, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient), on or about the date on which such Foreign Affected Person becomes a party hereto (and from time to time upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, executed copies of any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.
    (g)    Documentation Required by FATCA. If a payment made to an Affected Person under any Transaction Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Affected Person 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 Affected Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower 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 the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under
-53-



FATCA and to determine that such Affected Person has complied with such Affected Person’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (g), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
    (h)    Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 5.03 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Credit Party or any other Affected Person, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the Borrower Obligations and the Servicer’s obligations hereunder.
    (i)    Updates. Each Affected Person agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to this Section 5.03 expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
    (j)    Intended Tax Treatment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, all parties to this Agreement covenant and agree to treat each Loan under this Agreement as debt (and all Interest as interest) for all federal, state, local and franchise tax purposes and agree not to take any position on any tax return inconsistent with the foregoing.
    (k)    Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 5.03 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 5.03), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 5.03 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (k) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (k), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (k) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
    Section 5.04.    Inability to Determine SOFR Rate; Change in Legality. (a) If any Group 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 (with respect to the SOFR Rate determined by reference to the Term SOFR Rate) or on any day (with respect to
-54-



the SOFR Rate determined by reference to Daily 1M SOFR), either that: (i) the SOFR Rate cannot be determined because it is not available, (ii) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the SOFR Rate for such Interest Period or day, as applicable, or (iii) the SOFR Rate determined pursuant hereto does not accurately reflect the cost to the applicable Affected Person (as conclusively determined by such Group Agent) of maintaining any Portion of Capital during such Interest Period or day, as applicable, such Group Agent shall promptly give telephonic notice of such determination, confirmed in writing, to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower before the first day of any Interest Period (with respect to the SOFR Rate determined by reference to the Term SOFR Rate) or on such day (with respect to the SOFR Rate determined by reference to Daily 1M SOFR).

    (b)    If at any time any Group Agent shall have been notified by any Affected Person that such Affected Person has determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive absent manifest error) that the funding or maintenance of any Portion of Capital at or by reference to the SOFR Rate has been made impracticable or unlawful by compliance by such Affected Person in good faith with any Applicable Law or any interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority or with any request or directive of any such Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), such Group Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof. Upon receipt of such notice, until the applicable Group Agent notifies the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer apply, (i) no Portion of Capital shall be funded thereafter at the SOFR Rate, and shall instead be funded at the Base Rate, unless and until such Group Agent shall have given notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist and (ii) with respect to any outstanding Portion of Capital then funded at the SOFR Rate, the Interest Rate with respect to such Portion of Capital shall automatically and immediately be converted to the Base Rate.

    (ii)    In connection with the implementation and administration of a Benchmark Replacement, 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 or any other Transaction Document; provided, that any such amendment implementing such Conforming Changes that results in any incremental material cost or expense for the Borrower will not become effective without the consent of the Borrower.

Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Group Agent (or group of Group Agents) pursuant to this Section, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section.
    (iv)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (A) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate and either (I) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (II) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or will be no longer representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Tranche Period” or “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (B) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (A) above either (I) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (II) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Tranche Period” or “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.
    (v)    Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any request for a Loan, or a conversion to or continuation of Capital, accruing Interest at the SOFR Rate to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Loan, or a conversion of Capital to Capital, accruing Interest at the Base Rate, and, for the avoidance of doubt, all outstanding Capital accruing Interest at the SOFR Rate shall automatically be converted to Capital accruing Interest
-56-



at the Base Rate.

The Borrower will strictly observe corporate formalities in its dealings with the Servicer, the Performance Guarantor, the Originators or any Affiliates thereof, and funds or other assets of the Borrower will not be commingled with those of the Servicer, the Performance Guarantor, the Originators or any Affiliates thereof except as permitted by this Agreement in connection with servicing the Pool Receivables. The Borrower shall not maintain joint bank accounts or other depository accounts to which the Servicer, the Performance Guarantor the Originators or any Affiliate thereof (other than the Servicer solely in its capacity as such) has independent access. The Borrower is not named, and has not entered into any agreement to be named, directly or indirectly, as a direct or contingent beneficiary or loss payee on any insurance policy with respect to any loss relating to the property of the Servicer, the Performance Guarantor, the Originators or any Subsidiaries or other Affiliates thereof. The Borrower will pay to the appropriate Affiliate the marginal increase or, in the absence of such increase, the market amount of its portion of the premium payable with respect to any insurance policy that covers the Borrower and such Affiliate.
    (n)    Arm’s-Length Relationships. The Borrower will maintain arm’s-length relationships with the Servicer, the Performance Guarantor, the Originators and any Affiliates thereof.

Neither the Borrower on the one hand, nor the Servicer, the Performance Guarantor any Originator or any Affiliate thereof, on the other hand, will be or will hold itself out to be responsible for the debts of the other or the decisions or actions respecting the daily business and affairs of the other. The Borrower, the Servicer, the Performance Guarantor, the Originators and their respective Affiliates will immediately correct any known misrepresentation with respect to the foregoing, and they will not operate or purport to operate as an integrated single economic unit with respect to each other or in their dealing with any other entity.

    (o)    Allocation of Overhead. To the extent that Borrower, on the one hand, and the Servicer, the Performance Guarantor, any Originator or any Affiliate thereof, on the other hand, have offices in the same location, there shall be a fair and appropriate allocation of overhead costs between them, and the Borrower shall bear its fair share of such expenses, which may be paid through the Servicing Fee or otherwise; provided, that the foregoing shall not require the Performance Guarantor to make any additional capital contributions to the Borrower.
Article IX

Administration and Collection of Receivables
    Section 9.01.    Appointment of the Servicer. (a) The servicing, administering and collection of the Pool Receivables shall be conducted by the Person so designated from time to time as the Servicer in accordance with this Section 9.01. Until the Administrative Agent gives notice to Sponsor (in accordance with this Section 9.01) of the designation of a new Servicer, Sponsor is hereby designated as, and hereby agrees to perform the duties and obligations of, the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may (with the consent of the Majority Group Agents) and shall (at the direction of the Majority Group Agents) designate as Servicer any Person (including itself) to succeed Sponsor or any successor Servicer, on the condition in each case that any such Person so designated shall agree in writing to perform the duties and obligations of the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof.
    (b)    Upon the designation of a successor Servicer as set forth in clause (a) above, Sponsor agrees that it will terminate its activities as Servicer hereunder in a manner that the Administrative Agent reasonably determines will facilitate the transition of the performance of such activities to the new Servicer, and Sponsor shall cooperate with and assist such new Servicer. Such cooperation shall include access to and transfer of records (including all Contracts) related to Pool Receivables and use by the new Servicer of all licenses (or the obtaining of new licenses), hardware or software necessary or desirable to collect the Pool Receivables and the Related Security.
    (c)    Sponsor acknowledges that, in making its decision to execute and deliver this Agreement, the Administrative Agent and each Lender have relied on Sponsor’s agreement to act as Servicer hereunder. Accordingly, Sponsor agrees that it will not voluntarily resign as Servicer without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Majority Group Agents.
    (d)    The Servicer may delegate its duties and obligations hereunder to any subservicer (each a “Sub-Servicer”); provided, that, in each such delegation: (i) such Sub-Servicer shall agree in writing to perform the delegated duties and obligations of the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof, (ii) the Servicer shall remain liable for the performance of the duties and obligations so delegated, (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each Group Agent and each Lender shall have the right to look solely to the Servicer for performance, (iv) the terms of any agreement with any Sub-Servicer shall provide that the Administrative Agent may terminate such agreement upon the termination of the Servicer hereunder by giving notice of its desire to
-92-



terminate such agreement to the Servicer (and the Servicer shall provide appropriate notice to each such Sub-Servicer) and (v) if such Sub-Servicer is not an Affiliate of the Performance Guarantor, the Administrative Agent shall have consented in writing in advance to such delegation.
    Section 9.02.    Duties of the Servicer. (a) The Servicer shall take or cause to be taken all such action as may be necessary or reasonably advisable to service, administer and collect each Pool Receivable from time to time, all in accordance with this Agreement and all Applicable Laws, with reasonable care and diligence, and in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy and consistent with the past practices of the Originators. The Servicer shall set aside, for the accounts of each Credit Party, the amount of Collections to which each such Credit Party is entitled in accordance with Article IV hereof. The Servicer may, in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy and consistent with past practices of the Originators, take such action, including modifications, waivers, extensions of maturity or restructurings of Pool Receivables and related Contracts, as the Servicer may reasonably determine to be appropriate to maximize Collections thereof or reflect adjustments expressly permitted under the Credit and Collection Policy or as expressly required under Applicable Laws or the applicable Contract; provided, that for purposes of this Agreement: (i) such action shall not, and shall not be deemed to, change the number of days such Pool Receivable has remained unpaid from the date of the original due date related to such Pool Receivable, (ii) such action shall not alter the status of such Pool Receivable as a Delinquent Receivable or a Defaulted Receivable or limit the rights of any Secured Party under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document and (iii) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Servicer may take such action only upon the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. The Borrower shall deliver to the Servicer and the Servicer shall hold for the benefit of the Administrative Agent (individually and for the benefit of each Credit Party), in accordance with their respective interests, all records and documents (including computer tapes or disks) with respect to each Pool Receivable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent may direct the Servicer to commence or settle any legal action to enforce collection of any Pool Receivable that is a Defaulted Receivable or to foreclose upon or repossess any Related Security with respect to any such Defaulted Receivable.
    (b)    The Servicer shall, as soon as reasonably practicable following actual receipt of collected funds, turn over to the appropriate Person entitled thereto the collections of any indebtedness that is not a Pool Receivable, less, if Sponsor or an Affiliate of the Performance Guarantor is not the Servicer, all reasonable and appropriate out-of-pocket costs and expenses of such Servicer of servicing, collecting and administering such collections. The Servicer, if other than Sponsor or an Affiliate of the Sponsor, shall, as soon as reasonably practicable upon written demand, deliver to the appropriate Person entitled thereto all records in its possession that evidence or relate to any indebtedness that is not a Pool Receivable, and copies of records in its possession that evidence or relate to any indebtedness that is a Pool Receivable.
    (c)    The Servicer’s obligations hereunder shall terminate on the Final Payout Date. Promptly following the Final Payout Date, the Servicer shall deliver to the Borrower all books, records and related materials that the Borrower previously provided to the Servicer, or that have been obtained by the Servicer, in connection with this Agreement.
-93-



    Section 9.03.    Collection Account Arrangements. Prior to the Closing Date, the Borrower shall have entered into Account Control Agreements with all of the Collection Account Banks and delivered executed counterparts of each to the Administrative Agent. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may (with the consent of the Majority Group Agents) and shall (upon the direction of the Majority Group Agents) at any time thereafter give notice to each Collection Account Bank that the Administrative Agent is exercising its rights under the Account Control Agreements to do any or all of the following: (a) to have the exclusive ownership and control of the Collection Accounts transferred to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) and to exercise exclusive dominion and control over the funds deposited therein, (b) to have the proceeds that are sent to the respective Collection Accounts redirected pursuant to the Administrative Agent’s instructions rather than deposited in the applicable Collection Account and (c) to take any or all other actions permitted under the applicable Account Control Agreement. The Borrower 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 (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) of the proceeds (including Collections) of all Pool Receivables and the Borrower hereby further agrees to take any other action that the Administrative Agent may reasonably request to transfer such control. Any proceeds of Pool Receivables received by the Borrower or the Servicer thereafter shall be sent immediately to, or as otherwise instructed by, the Administrative Agent.
    Section 9.04.    Enforcement Rights. (a) At any time following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default:
    (i)    the Administrative Agent (at the Borrower’s expense) may direct the Obligors that payment of all amounts payable under any Pool Receivable is to be made directly to the Administrative Agent or its designee;
    (ii)    the Administrative Agent may instruct the Borrower or the Servicer to give notice of the Secured Parties’ interest in Pool Receivables to each Obligor, which notice shall direct that payments be made directly to the Administrative Agent or its designee (on behalf of the Secured Parties), and the Borrower or the Servicer, as the case may be, shall give such notice at the expense of the Borrower or the Servicer, as the case may be; provided, that if the Borrower or the Servicer, as the case may be, fails to so notify each Obligor within two (2) Business Days following instruction by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent (at the Borrower’s or the Servicer’s, as the case may be, expense) may so notify the Obligors;
    (iii)    the Administrative Agent may request the Servicer to, and upon such request the Servicer shall: (A) assemble all of the records necessary or desirable to collect the Pool Receivables and the Related Security, and transfer or license to a successor Servicer the use of all software necessary or desirable to collect the Pool Receivables and the Related Security, and make the same available to the Administrative Agent or its designee (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) at a place selected by the Administrative Agent and (B) segregate all cash, checks and other instruments received by it from time to time constituting Collections in a manner reasonably acceptable to the
-94-



Administrative Agent and, promptly upon receipt, remit all such cash, checks and instruments, duly endorsed or with duly executed instruments of transfer, to the Administrative Agent or its designee;
    (iv)    the Administrative Agent may assume exclusive control of each Collection Account and notify the Collection Account Banks that the Borrower and the Servicer will no longer have any access to the Collection Accounts;
    (v)    the Administrative Agent may (or, at the direction of the Majority Group Agents shall) replace the Person then acting as Servicer; and
    (vi)    the Administrative Agent may collect any amounts due from an Originator under the Receivables Purchase Agreement or the Performance Guarantor under the Performance Guaranty.
For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent upon an Event of Default are in addition to and not exclusive of the rights and remedies contained herein and under the other Transaction Documents.
    (b)    The Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Secured Parties), and irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution and with full authority in the place and stead of the Borrower, which appointment is coupled with an interest, to take any and all steps in the name of the Borrower and on behalf of the Borrower necessary or desirable, in the reasonable determination of the Administrative Agent, after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, to collect any and all amounts or portions thereof due under any and all Collateral, including endorsing the name of the Borrower on checks and other instruments representing Collections and enforcing such Collateral. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this subsection, none of the powers conferred upon such attorney-in-fact pursuant to the 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.
    (c)    The Servicer hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Secured Parties), and irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution and with full authority in the place and stead of the Servicer, which appointment is coupled with an interest, to take any and all steps in the name of the Servicer and on behalf of the Servicer necessary or desirable, in the reasonable determination of the Administrative Agent, after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, to collect any and all amounts or portions thereof due under any and all Collateral, including endorsing the name of the Servicer on checks and other instruments representing Collections and enforcing such Collateral. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this subsection, none of the powers conferred upon such attorney-in-fact pursuant to the 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.

    Section 9.05.    Responsibilities of the Borrower. (a) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower shall: (i) perform all of its obligations, if any, under the Contracts related to the Pool Receivables to the same extent as if interests in such Pool Receivables had not been transferred hereunder, and the exercise by the Administrative Agent, or any other Credit Party of their respective rights hereunder shall not relieve the Borrower from such obligations and (ii) pay when due any taxes, including any sales taxes payable in connection with the Pool Receivables and their creation and satisfaction. None of the Credit Parties shall have any obligation or liability with respect to any Collateral, nor shall any of them be obligated to perform any of the obligations of the Borrower, the Servicer or any Originator thereunder.
    (b)    Sponsor hereby irrevocably agrees that if at any time it shall cease to be the Servicer hereunder, it shall act (if the then-current Servicer so requests) as the data-processing agent of the Servicer and, in such capacity, Sponsor shall conduct the data-processing functions of the administration of the Receivables and the Collections thereon in substantially the same way that Sponsor conducted such data-processing functions while it acted as the Servicer. In connection with any such processing functions, the Borrower shall pay to Sponsor its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses from the Borrower’s own funds (subject to the priority of payments set forth in Section 4.01).
    Section 9.06.    Servicing Fee. (a) Subject to clause (b) below, the Servicer shall be paid a fee (the “Servicing Fee”) equal to 1% per annum (the “Servicing Fee Rate”) of the monthly average aggregate Outstanding Balance of the Pool Receivables.
    (b)    If the Servicer ceases to be Sponsor or an Affiliate of the Sponsor, the Servicing Fee shall be the greater of (i) the amount calculated pursuant to clause (a) above and (ii) an alternative amount specified by the successor Servicer not to exceed 110% of the aggregate reasonable costs and expenses incurred by such successor Servicer in connection with the performance of its obligations as Servicer hereunder.

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 at the direction of the Group Agents or the Majority Group Agents, as the case may be, and such request or direction and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all Credit Parties. The Credit Parties and the Administrative Agent agree that unless any action to be taken by the Administrative Agent under a Transaction Document (i) specifically requires the advice or concurrence of all Group Agents or (ii) may be taken by the Administrative Agent alone or without any advice or concurrence of any Group Agent, then the Administrative Agent may take action based upon the advice or concurrence of the Majority Group Agents.

If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Majority Group Agents, within thirty (30) days after the departing Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, the departing Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Secured Parties, appoint a successor Administrative Agent as successor Administrative Agent.

No Group Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them as a Group Agent under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents in the absence of its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, a Group Agent: (a) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Borrower or the Servicer), independent certified public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (b) makes no warranty or representation to any Credit Party (whether written or oral) and shall not be responsible to any Credit Party for any statements, warranties or representations (whether written or oral) made by any other party in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; (c) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document on the part of the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof or any other Person or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof; (d) shall not be responsible to any Credit Party for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any other Transaction Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; and (e) shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in so relying, upon any notice (including notice by telephone), consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by facsimile) believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties.
    Section 12.03.    Group Agent and Affiliates. With respect to any Credit Extension or interests therein owned by any Credit Party that is also a Group Agent, such Credit Party shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not a Group Agent. A Group Agent and any of its Affiliates may generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof and any Person who may do business with or own securities of the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof or any of their respective Affiliates, all as if such Group Agent were not a Group Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to any other Secured Party.

    Section 12.06.    Notice of Events of Default. No Group Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default unless such Group Agent has received notice from the Administrative Agent, any other Group Agent, any other Credit Party, the Servicer or the Borrower stating that an Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default has occurred hereunder and describing such Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default. If a Group Agent receives such a notice, it shall promptly give notice thereof to the Credit Parties in its Group and to the Administrative Agent (but only if such notice received by such Group Agent was not sent by the Administrative Agent). A Group Agent may take such action concerning an Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default as may be directed by Committed Lenders in its Group representing a majority of the Commitments in such Group (subject to the other provisions of this Article XII), but until such Group Agent receives such directions, such Group Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, as such Group Agent deems advisable and in the best interests of the Conduit Lenders and Committed Lenders in its Group.
    Section 12.07.    Non-Reliance on Group Agents and Other Parties. Each Credit Party expressly acknowledges that neither the Group Agent for its Group nor any of such Group Agent’s directors, officers, agents or employees has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by such Group Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by such Group Agent. Each Credit Party represents and warrants to the Group Agent for its Group that, independently and without reliance upon such Group Agent, any other Group Agent, the Administrative Agent or any other Credit Party and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, it has made and will continue to make its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, prospects, financial and other conditions and creditworthiness of the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof and the Receivables and its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to take, or omit, action under any Transaction Document. Except for items expressly required to be delivered under any Transaction Document by a Group Agent to any Credit Party in its Group, no Group Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Credit Party in its Group with any information concerning the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof that comes into the possession of such Group Agent or any of its directors, officers, agents, employees, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.
    Section 12.08.    Successor Group Agent. Any Group Agent may, upon at least thirty (30) days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, the Servicer and the Credit Parties in its Group, resign as Group Agent for its Group. Such resignation shall not become effective until a successor Group Agent is appointed by the Lender(s) in such Group. Upon such acceptance of
-106-



its appointment as Group Agent for such Group hereunder by a successor Group Agent, such successor Group Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights and duties of the resigning Group Agent, and the resigning Group Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Transaction Documents. After any resigning Group Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article XII and Article XIII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was a Group Agent.

    (iv)    the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement.
Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, (x) the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement, and to the extent that rights and obligations under this Agreement have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Committed Lender hereunder and (y) the assigning Committed Lender shall, to the extent that rights and obligations have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, relinquish such rights and be released from such obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Committed Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Committed Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).
    (c)    Register. The Administrative Agent shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain at its address referred to on Schedule III of this Agreement (or such other address of the Administrative Agent notified by the Administrative Agent to the other parties hereto) a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance Agreement delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Committed Lenders and the Conduit Lenders, the Commitment of each Committed Lender and the aggregate outstanding Capital (and stated interest) of the Loans of each Committed Lender and Conduit Lender from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Servicer, the Administrative Agent, the Group Agents, the Lenders and the other Credit Parties may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Committed Lender or a Conduit Lender, as the case may be, under this Agreement for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Servicer, any Group Agent, any Committed Lender, any Group Agent or any Conduit Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
    (d)    Procedure. Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement executed and delivered by an assigning Committed Lender and an Eligible Assignee or assignee Committed Lender, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement has been duly completed, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower and the Servicer.
-114-



    (e)    Participations. Each Committed Lender may sell participations to one or more Eligible Assignees (each, a “Participant”) in or to all or a portion of its rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment and the interests in the Loans owned by it); provided, however, that
    (i)    such Committed Lender’s obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Commitment to the Borrower hereunder) shall remain unchanged, and
    (ii)    such Committed Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties to this Agreement for the performance of such obligations.
    (iii)    Such Committed Lender agrees that any agreement between such Committed Lender and any such Participant in respect of such participating interest shall not restrict such Committed Lender’s right to agree to any amendment, supplement, waiver or modification to this Agreement, except for any amendment, supplement, waiver or modification described in Section 14.01(a)(B).
The Administrative Agent, the Group Agents, the Committed Lenders, the Group Agents, the Conduit Lenders, the Borrower and the Servicer shall have the right to continue to deal solely and directly with such Committed Lender in connection with such Committed Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 5.01 and 5.03 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 5.03(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 5.03(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Committed Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 5.01 or 5.03, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation.
    (f)    Participant Register. Each Committed Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Committed Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans or its other obligations under any this Agreement) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Committed Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For
-115-



the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
    (g)    Assignments by Agents. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the Administrative Agent and each Group Agent herein shall be assignable by the Administrative Agent or such Group Agent, as the case may be, and its successors and assigns; provided that in the case of an assignment to a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Administrative Agent or such Group Agent, so long as no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such assignment shall require the Borrower’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
    (h)    Assignments by the Borrower or the Servicer. Neither the Borrower nor, except as provided in Section 9.01, the Servicer may assign any of its respective rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Group Agent (such consent to be provided or withheld in the sole discretion of such Person).
    (i)    Addition of New Lenders or Groups. The Borrower may, with written notice to and the consent of the Administrative Agent and each Group Agent, add additional Persons as Lenders (by creating a new Group) or cause an existing Lender to increase its Commitment; provided, however, that the Commitment of any existing Lender may only be increased with the prior written consent of such Lender. Each new Lender (or Group) shall become a party hereto, by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, an assumption agreement (each, an “Assumption Agreement”) in the form of Exhibit C hereto (which Assumption Agreement shall, in the case of any new Lender, be executed by each Person in such new Lender’s Group).
    (j)    Pledge to a Federal Reserve Bank. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, (i) any Lender, Program Support Provider or any of their respective Affiliates may at any time pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its interest in, to and under this Agreement (including, without limitation, rights to payment of Capital and Interest) and any other Transaction Document to secure its obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, without notice to or the consent of the Borrower, the Servicer, any Affiliate thereof or any Credit Party; provided, however, that that no such pledge shall relieve such assignor of its obligations under this Agreement.
    (k)    Pledge to a Security Trustee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, any Conduit Lender may at any time pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its interest in, to and under this Agreement (including, without limitation, rights to payment of Capital and Interest) and any other Transaction Document to a collateral trustee (or Person acting in a similar capacity) as collateral security in connection with such Conduit Lender’s asset-backed commercial paper note program, without notice to or the consent of the Borrower, the Servicer, any Affiliate thereof or any Credit Party; provided, however, that that no such pledge shall relieve such assignor of its obligations under this Agreement.
-116-



    Section 14.04.    Costs and Expenses. In addition to the rights of indemnification granted under Section 13.01 hereof, the Borrower agrees to pay on demand all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement, any Program Support Agreement (or any supplement or amendment thereof) related to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (together with all amendments, restatements, supplements, consents and waivers, if any, from time to time hereto and thereto), including, without limitation, (i) the reasonable Attorney Costs for the Administrative Agent and the other Credit Parties and any of their respective Affiliates with respect thereto and with respect to advising the Administrative Agent and the other Credit Parties and their respective Affiliates as to their rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, (ii) reasonable and documented out-of-pocket accountants’, auditors’ and consultants’ fees and expenses for the Administrative Agent and the other Credit Parties and any of their respective Affiliates incurred in connection with the administration and maintenance of this Agreement or advising the Administrative Agent or any other Credit Party as to their rights and remedies under this Agreement or as to any actual or reasonably claimed breach of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document and (iii) the reasonable and documented fees and charges of any nationally recognized statistical rating agency incurred in relation to the rating of any Notes (solely to the extent related to this Agreement). In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay on demand all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable Attorney Costs), of the Administrative Agent and the other Credit Parties and their respective Affiliates, incurred in connection with the enforcement of any of their respective rights or remedies under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.
    Section 14.05.    No Proceedings; Limitation on Payments. (a) Each of the Servicer, Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Servicer, each Group Agent, each Lender and each assignee of Capital or any Interest thereof or of any other Borrower Obligations agrees that it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, any Conduit Lender any Insolvency Proceeding so long as any Notes or other senior indebtedness issued by such Conduit Lender shall be outstanding or there shall not have elapsed one year plus one day since the last day on which any such Notes or other senior indebtedness shall have been outstanding.
    (b)    Each of the Servicer, each Group Agent, each Lender and each assignee of a Loan or any interest therein, hereby covenants and agrees that it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, the Borrower any Insolvency Proceeding until one year and one day after the Final Payout Date; provided, that the Administrative Agent may take any such action in its sole discretion following the occurrence of an Event of Default.
    (c)    Notwithstanding any provisions contained in this Agreement to the contrary, a Conduit Lender shall not, and shall be under no obligation to, pay any amount, if any, payable by it pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document unless (i) such Conduit Lender has received funds which may be used to make such payment and which funds are not required to repay such Conduit Lender’s Notes when due and (ii) after giving effect to such payment, either (x) such Conduit Lender could issue Notes to refinance all of its outstanding Notes (assuming such outstanding Notes matured at such time) in accordance with the program documents governing such Conduit Lender’s securitization program or (y) all of such Conduit
-117-



Lender’s Notes are paid in full. Any amount which any Conduit Lender does not pay pursuant to the operation of the preceding sentence shall not constitute a claim (as defined in Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code) against or company obligation of such Conduit Lender for any such insufficiency unless and until such Conduit Lender satisfies the provisions of clauses (i) and (ii) above. The provisions of this Section 14.05 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
    Section 14.06.    Confidentiality. (a) Each of the Borrower and the Servicer covenants and agrees to hold in confidence, and not disclose to any Person, the terms of this Agreement or the Fee Letter (including any fees payable in connection with this Agreement, the Fee Letter or any other Transaction Document or the identity of the Administrative Agent or any other Credit Party), except as the Administrative Agent, each Group Agent and each Lender may have consented to in writing prior to any proposed disclosure; provided, however, that it may disclose such information (i) to its Advisors and Representatives, (ii) to the extent such information has become available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by or through the Borrower, the Servicer or their Advisors and Representatives or (iii) to the extent it should be (A) required by Applicable Law, or in connection with any legal or regulatory proceeding or (B) requested by any Governmental Authority to disclose such information; provided, that, in the case of clause (iii) above, the Borrower and the Servicer will use reasonable efforts to maintain confidentiality and will (unless otherwise prohibited by Applicable Law) notify the Administrative Agent and the affected Credit Party of its intention to make any such disclosure prior to making such disclosure. Each of the Borrower and the Servicer agrees to be responsible for any breach of this Section 14.06 by its Representatives and Advisors and agrees that its Representatives and Advisors will be advised by it of the confidential nature of such information and shall agree to comply with this Section 14.06. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expressly agreed that each of the Borrower, the Servicer and their respective Affiliates may publish a press release or otherwise publicly announce the existence and principal amount of the Commitments under this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby; provided that the Administrative Agent shall be provided a reasonable opportunity to review such press release or other public announcement prior to its release and provide comment thereon; and provided, further, that no such press release shall name or otherwise identify the Administrative Agent, any other Credit Party or any of their respective Affiliates without such Person’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
    (b)    Each of the Administrative Agent and each other Credit Party, severally and with respect to itself only, agrees to hold in confidence, and not disclose to any Person, any confidential and proprietary information concerning the Borrower, the Servicer and their respective Affiliates and their businesses or the terms of this Agreement (including any fees payable in connection with this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents), except as the Borrower or the Servicer may have consented to in writing prior to any proposed disclosure; provided, however, that it may disclose such information (i) to its Advisors and Representatives and to any related Program Support Provider on a need-to-know basis, (ii) to its assignees and Participants and potential assignees and Participants and their respective counsel if they agree in writing to hold it confidential on terms substantially identical to those set forth in this clause (b), (iii) to the extent such information has become available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by or through it or its Representatives or Advisors, or any related Program Support Provider, (iv) to any nationally recognized statistical rating organization solely in connection
-118-



with obtaining or maintaining the rating of any Conduit Lender’s Notes or as contemplated by 17 CFR 240.17g-5(a)(3), (v) at the request of a bank examiner or other regulatory authority or in connection with an examination of any of the Administrative Agent, any Group Agent or any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates or Program Support Providers or (vi) to the extent it should be (A) required by Applicable Law, or in connection with any legal or regulatory proceeding or (B) requested by any Governmental Authority to disclose such information; provided, that, in the case of clauses (iv) and (v) above, the Administrative Agent, each Group Agent and each Lender will use reasonable efforts to maintain confidentiality and will (unless otherwise prohibited by Applicable Law) notify the Borrower and the Servicer of its making any such disclosure as promptly as reasonably practicable thereafter. Each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, severally and with respect to itself only, agrees to be responsible for any breach of this Section 14.06 by its Representatives, Advisors and Program Support Providers and agrees that its Representatives, Advisors and Program Support Providers will be advised by it of the confidential nature of such information and shall agree to comply with this Section 14.06. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower and the Servicer each consents to the publication by the Administrative Agent or any other Credit Party of a tombstone or similar advertising material relating to the financing transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
    (c)    As used in this Section, (i) ”Advisors” means, with respect to any Person, such Person’s accountants, attorneys and other confidential advisors and (ii) ”Representatives” means, with respect to any Person, such Person’s Affiliates, Subsidiaries, directors, managers, officers, employees, members, investors, financing sources, insurers, professional advisors, representatives and agents; provided that such Persons shall not be deemed to Representatives of a Person unless (and solely to the extent that) confidential information is furnished to such Person.
    (d)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent not inconsistent with applicable securities laws, each party hereto (and each of its employees, representatives or other agents) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure (as defined in Section 1.6011-4 of the Treasury Regulations and applicable state and local tax law) of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to such Person relating to such tax treatment and tax structure.
    Section 14.07.    Governing Law. This Agreement, including the rights and duties of the parties hereto, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York (including Sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 of the General Obligations Law of the State of New York, but without regard to any other conflicts of law provisions thereof, except to the extent that the perfection, the effect of perfection or priority of the interests of Administrative Agent or any Lender in the collateral is governed by the laws of a jurisdiction other than the State of New York).
    Section 14.08.    Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of 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. The parties agree to electronic contracting and signatures with respect to this Agreement and the other Transaction

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Lender shall request manually signed counterpart signatures to any Transaction Document, the Borrower hereby agrees to use its reasonable endeavors to provide such manually signed signature pages as soon as reasonably practicable (but in any event within 30 days of such request or such longer period as the requesting Lender and the Borrower may mutually agree). The Borrower agrees to assume all risks arising out of the use of electronic or digital signatures and electronic methods to submit communications to the Administrative Agent, including without limitation the risk of the Administrative Agent acting on unauthorized instructions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties.
    Section 14.09.    Integration; Binding Effect; Survival of Termination. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents contain 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.

Nothing in this Section 14.10 shall affect the right of the Administrative Agent or any other Credit Party to bring any action or proceeding against the Borrower or the Servicer or any of their respective property in the courts of other jurisdictions. Each of the Borrower and the Servicer hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent they may effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding. The parties hereto agree that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall
-120-



be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.
    (b)    Each of the Borrower and the Servicer consents to the service of any and all process in any such action or proceeding by the mailing of copies of such process to it at its address specified in Section 14.02. Nothing in this Section 14.10 shall affect the right of the Administrative Agent or any other Credit Party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by applicable law.
    Section 14.11.    Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party hereto hereby waives, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, trial by jury in any judicial proceeding involving, directly or indirectly, any matter (whether sounding in tort, contract or otherwise) in any way arising out of, related to, or connected with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.
    Section 14.12.    Ratable Payments. If any Credit Party, whether by setoff or otherwise, has payment made to it with respect to any Borrower Obligations in a greater proportion than that received by any other Credit Party entitled to receive a ratable share of such Borrower Obligations, such Credit Party agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase for cash without recourse or warranty a portion of such Borrower Obligations held by the other Credit Parties so that after such purchase each Credit Party will hold its ratable proportion of such Borrower Obligations; provided that if all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from such Credit Party, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.
    Section 14.13.    Limitation of Liability. (a) No claim may be made by the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof or any other Person against any Credit Party or their respective Affiliates, members, directors, officers, employees, incorporators, attorneys or agents for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages in respect of any claim for breach of contract or any other theory of liability arising out of or related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection herewith or therewith; and each of the Borrower and the Servicer hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue upon any claim for any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.
    (b)    The obligations of the Administrative Agent and each of the other Credit Parties under this Agreement and each of the Transaction Documents are solely the corporate obligations of such Person. No recourse shall be had for any obligation or claim arising out of or based upon this Agreement or any other Transaction Document against any member, director, officer, employee or incorporator of any such Person.
    Section 14.14.    Intent of the Parties. The Borrower has structured this Agreement with the intention that the Loans and the obligations of the Borrower hereunder will be treated under United States federal, and applicable state, local and foreign tax law as debt (the “Intended Tax Treatment”). The Borrower, the Servicer, the Administrative Agent and the other Credit Parties agree to file no tax return, or take any action, inconsistent with the Intended Tax Treatment unless required by applicable law. Each assignee and each Participant acquiring an interest in a
-121-



Credit Extension, by its acceptance of such assignment or participation, agrees to comply with the immediately preceding sentence.
    Section 14.15.    USA Patriot Act. Each of the Administrative Agent and each of the other Credit Parties hereby notifies the Borrower and the Servicer that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001) (the “PATRIOT Act”), the Administrative Agent and the other Credit Parties may be required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, the Originators, the Servicer and the Performance Guarantor, which information includes the name, address, tax identification number and other information regarding the Borrower, the Originators, the Servicer and the Performance Guarantor that will allow the Administrative Agent and the other Credit Parties to identify the Borrower, the Originators, the Servicer and the Performance Guarantor in accordance with the PATRIOT Act. This notice is given in accordance with the requirements of the PATRIOT Act. Each of the Borrower and the Servicer agrees to provide the Administrative Agent and each of the other Credit Parties, from time to time, with all documentation and other information required by bank regulatory authorities under “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including, without limitation, the PATRIOT Act.
    Section 14.16.    Right of Setoff. Each Credit Party is hereby authorized (in addition to any other rights it may have), at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, to setoff, 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 such Credit Party (including by any branches or agencies of such Credit Party) to, or for the account of, the Borrower or the Servicer against amounts owing by the Borrower or the Servicer hereunder (even if contingent or unmatured); provided that such Credit Party shall notify the Borrower or the Servicer, as applicable, promptly following such setoff.
    Section 14.17.    Severability. Any provisions of this Agreement which are prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
    Section 14.18.    Mutual Negotiations. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents are the product of mutual negotiations by the parties thereto and their counsel, and no party shall be deemed the draftsperson of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any provision hereof or thereof or to have provided the same. Accordingly, in the event of any inconsistency or ambiguity of any provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, such inconsistency or ambiguity shall not be interpreted against any party because of such party’s involvement in the drafting thereof.
    Section 14.19.    Captions and Cross References. The various captions (including the table of contents) in this Agreement are provided solely for convenience of reference and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of any provision of this Agreement. Unless otherwise indicated, references in this Agreement to any Section, Schedule or Exhibit are to such Section, Schedule or Exhibit to this Agreement, as the case may be, and references in any Section,
-122-



subsection, or clause to any subsection, clause or subclause are to such subsection, clause or subclause of such Section, subsection or clause.
    Section 14.20.    Acknowledgment Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Transaction Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any Hedging Agreement 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 Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.
    (b)    Solely as used in this Section 14.20, 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).
-123-



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.
Hedging Agreement” means any agreement with respect to any swap, forward, future or derivative transaction or option or similar agreement involving, or settled by reference to, one or more rates, currencies, commodities, equity or debt instruments or securities, or economic, financial or pricing indices or measures of economic, financial or pricing risk or value or any similar transaction or any combination of these transactions.
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).
