On April 21, 2015, Computer Sciences Corporation (the “Company”) entered into a Master Accounts Receivable Purchase Agreement between the Company, as Seller, and The Royal Bank of Scotland, PLC (“RBS”) as Purchaser (the "Purchase Agreement"), along with Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group Ltd. and Bank of Nova Scotia, each as a Participant. The structured transaction results in the continuous non-recourse true sale of eligible receivables.

The Purchase Agreement establishes a receivables purchase facility (the "Facility") that provides for up to $450 million in funding based on the availability of eligible receivables and the satisfaction of certain conditions. The Facility is an uncommitted facility that has a term of 1 year, unless earlier terminated by the Company or the Purchaser (or Participants).

Under the Facility, the Company will sell eligible North American Public Sector segment receivables, including both receivables that have already been billed under an invoice and also certain unbilled receivables arising from contracts where the Company has performed work under a “cost plus fixed fee” or “time and materials” contract and other required conditions.

The Company expects to use the proceeds from receivables sales under the Facility for general corporate purposes.

The Purchase Agreement is filed as exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference, and the description of the Facility contained herein is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the Purchase Agreement.

SECTION 2.
Purchase and Sale; Uncommitted Arrangement; Term.

Section 2.1.    Purchase and Sale of Eligible Receivables. On the Closing Date, the Seller Representative will submit a Servicing Report to the Purchaser via the PrimeRevenue System, and simultaneously with the submission of such Servicing Report, each Seller will be deemed to offer to Purchaser, and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.1 and Section 8.2, the Purchaser will be deemed to purchase from each such Seller, without any further action on the part of such Seller, all of such Seller’s right, title and interest in and to all outstanding Eligible Receivables of such Seller specified on such Servicing Report. On each Business Day following the Closing Date and prior to the Termination Date, each Seller will be deemed to offer to Purchaser, and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.2, the Purchaser will be deemed to purchase from each such Seller, without any further action on the part of such Seller, all of such Seller’s right, title and interest in and to all outstanding Eligible Receivables of such Seller that have not previously been acquired (except to the extent that it was acquired and was subsequently the subject of a Deemed Repurchase) in whole by the Purchaser hereunder. The deemed offer by each Seller to sell, assign and transfer all of its right, title and interest in and to all outstanding Eligible Receivables of each such Seller that have not previously been acquired (except to the extent that it was acquired and was subsequently the subject of a Deemed Repurchase) in whole by the Purchaser hereunder is irrevocable and unconditional on the part of each such Seller and shall occur (without any further action by any such Seller) on each Business Day prior to the Termination Date.

Section 2.2.    Deemed Repurchase by the Sellers. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if (a) the Total Outstanding Amount exceeds the Maximum RBS Funding Amount and (b) the Purchaser does not, on or before 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on a given Settlement Date, receive from the Participants the full amount of the Participation Share relating to the Payment Amount payable on such Settlement Date, then the Payment Amount will be reduced in accordance with the definition thereof, and without any further action on the part of the Purchaser or any Seller, the requisite Net Face Value of Billed Receivables acquired by the Purchaser during the immediately preceding Settlement Period will automatically be deemed to be repurchased by the relevant

    



Seller (a “Deemed Repurchase”), and the Purchased Receivables allocated for such automatic repurchase shall be selected based on Maturity Date (such that the relevant Seller(s) shall be deemed to repurchase the Purchased Receivable with the latest Maturity Date first, then the Purchased Receivable with the second latest Maturity Date, and the allocation shall continue in the same manner until Purchased Receivables with a total Net Face Value equal to or greater than the shortfall in the Participation Share have been repurchased by the relevant Seller(s)); provided, that each Deemed Repurchase shall be for whole Billed Receivables and not a portion thereof.

Section 2.3.    Purchase Price. The purchase price (the “Discounted Purchase Price”) for each Purchased Receivable purchased on any given Purchase Date will be calculated as follows:

DPP = NFV - Purchase Discount, in which “Purchase Discount” = NFV x DR x (DP / 360), in which:
Term
Definition
DPPequals 
Discounted Purchase Price of such Receivable
NFVequals 
Net Face Value of such Receivable as of such Purchase Date
DRequals
Discount Rate applicable to such Receivable
DPequals
Discount Period applicable to such Receivable

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchaser may, in its sole and absolute discretion, elect to purchase a Receivable for an amount equal to such Receivable’s Net Face Value, as reduced by any amount (including any Accrued Aggregate Unreimbursed Purchase Discount) then due and payable by a Seller to the Purchaser hereunder (such amount, the “Adjusted Purchase Price”). In this event, an amount equal to the Accrued Aggregate Unreimbursed Purchase Discount for such Purchased Receivable will be payable by the Seller Representative on each Settlement Date and each Termination Settlement Date until such time as the Aggregate Unreimbursed Purchase Discount or such Purchased Receivable has been paid in full. The Seller shall not be entitled to set-off its obligation to pay the Aggregate Unreimbursed Purchase Discount (or any portion thereof) against the Refundable Discount Advance paid by the Seller on the Closing Date.

With respect to each Purchased Receivable, the Purchase Price thereof shall be payable by the Purchaser to the Seller Representative (on behalf of the relevant Seller) by deposit into the Remittance Account on the Settlement Date immediately following the Settlement Period during which such Purchased Receivable was purchased. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchase Price shall be subject to netting and set-off as provided for under Section 5.6.

Section 2.4.    Maximum Funded Amount; Payment Amount; Termination Payment Amount.
    
(a)    On each Settlement Date and Termination Settlement Date, the Purchaser shall (by reference to the Servicing Report received via the PrimeRevenue System by the Purchaser on the immediately preceding Reconciliation Date) determine the Maximum Funded Amount, the Payment Amount (in the case of a Settlement Date) or Termination Payment Amount (in the case of a Termination Settlement Date), as applicable, and shall notify the Seller Representative of the same.

(b)    Following the determination of the Payment Amount, and in accordance with Section 5.6, on each Settlement Date (x) if the Payment Amount is positive, the Purchaser shall pay the full amount thereof to the Seller Representative, and upon payment of such amount, the Purchaser’s payment obligations with respect to the Purchased Receivables acquired during the Settlement Period ending immediately prior to such Settlement Date shall be satisfied in full and (y) if the Payment Amount is negative, the Seller Representative shall pay the full absolute value thereof to the Purchaser by deposit into the Purchaser’s Account. Furthermore, in connection with Section 3.3, the Administration Fee payable by the Seller Representative on each Settlement Date shall be set-off against any positive Payment Amount payable by the Purchaser (and the surplus of the Administration Fee, if any, after effecting such set-off shall be payable by the Seller Representative to the Purchaser), and the absolute value of any

    



negative Payment Amount payable by the Seller Representative shall be combined with the Administration Fee payable on such Settlement Date (such that both amounts will be paid simultaneously to the Purchaser).

(c)    Following the determination of the Termination Payment Amount, and in accordance with Section 5.6, on each Termination Settlement Date until the Funded Amount has been reduced to zero and all other amounts payable to the Purchaser by the Sellers hereunder have been paid in full, the Seller Representative shall pay the full amount of the Termination Payment Amount to the Purchaser by deposit into the Purchaser’s Account. Furthermore, in connection with Section 3.3, the Administration Fee payable by the Seller Representative on each Termination Settlement Date shall be combined with the Termination Payment Amount payable on such Termination Settlement Date (such that both amounts will be paid simultaneously to the Purchaser).

Section 2.5.Seller Representative. Each Seller hereby appoints the Initial Seller as its agent, attorney-in-fact and representative (in such capacity, the “Seller Representative”), and the Initial Seller accepts such appointment, for the purpose of (i) making any requests required under this Agreement, (ii) the receipt of any notice of required repurchase pursuant to Section 11.2, (iii) the giving and receipt of any other notices to, or demand of, any Seller under this Agreement, (iv) the delivery of all documents, reports, financial statements and written materials required to be delivered by any Seller under this Agreement, (v) the receipt of all payments owing to a Seller hereunder, together with the subsequent allocation of such payment proceeds between the Sellers, (vi) taking any and all other actions required to be undertaken hereunder by the Seller Representative, and (vii) all other purposes incidental to any of the foregoing. Each Seller agrees that any action taken by the Seller Representative as the agent, attorney-in-fact and representative of each such Seller shall be binding upon it, as applicable, to the same extent as if directly taken by such Seller, as applicable.
 
Section 2.6.    UNCOMMITTED ARRANGEMENT. EACH OF THE SELLERS ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS IS AN UNCOMMITTED ARRANGEMENT, THAT NO SELLER HAS PAID, OR IS REQUIRED TO PAY, A COMMITMENT FEE OR COMPARABLE FEE TO THE PURCHASER, AND THAT THE PURCHASER MAY TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF SECTION 2.7.

Section 2.7.    Term. Purchases of Receivables under this Agreement may be effected during the period from the Closing Date until April 21, 2016. In addition, either the Purchaser or the Seller Representative may terminate this Agreement in its sole discretion at any time by delivering thirty days prior written notice to the other party (in which case the Termination Date shall be the first Business Day following such thirty-day period). Furthermore, upon the occurrence of a Facility Suspension Event, the Purchaser may terminate this Agreement at any time by providing written notice of such termination to the Seller Representative (in which case the Termination Date shall be the day specified as such in the written notice, which may be the date upon which such written notice is received by the Seller Representative (or, in each case, if such date is not a Business Day, the Termination Date shall be the immediately following Business Day)). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the termination of this Agreement will have no effect on any rights or obligations hereunder in respect of any Purchased Receivables outstanding as of the date of termination and all covenants, representations and warranties, repurchase obligations and indemnities made herein shall continue in full force and effect so long as any Purchased Receivables remain outstanding.

Section 2.8.    Effect of Termination.

(a)    For the sake of clarity, the parties agree that, at all times on and following the Termination Date:
(i)    Except to the extent otherwise removed in accordance with Section 5, each Seller shall continue to service and administer the Purchased Receivables sold by it as agent for the Purchaser, all on terms further set out in this Agreement.
(ii)    The Seller Representative shall continue to pay the Accrued Aggregate Unreimbursed Purchase Discount on each Termination Settlement Date until the Aggregate Unreimbursed Purchase Discount has been paid in full to the Purchaser by deposit into the Purchaser’s Account. The Refundable Discount Advance will

    



be promptly repaid by the Purchaser to the Seller Representative upon payment in full by the Seller Representative of the Aggregate Unreimbursed Purchase Discount in accordance with Section 2.9.
Section 2.9.    Aggregate Unreimbursed Purchase Discount; Refundable Discount Advance.

(a)    The Aggregate Unreimbursed Purchase Discount shall be payable in full by the Seller Representative on the Final Maturity Date; provided, however, that following the occurrence of the Termination Date, if a Seller’s appointment as servicer hereunder is terminated by the Purchaser as the result of a Servicer Replacement Event, the Purchaser may, by written notice to the Seller Representative, demand payment in full of the Aggregate Unreimbursed Purchase Discount. In any such case, the Seller Representative shall pay the Aggregate Unreimbursed Purchase Discount to the Purchaser on the date designated for such payment in the written notice from the Purchaser (which date must be at least one Business Day following the date upon with such written notice is received by the Seller Representative) by deposit into the Purchaser’s Account.
The parties hereto agree that the Seller Representative’s obligation to pay the Aggregate Unreimbursed Purchase Discount is not credit recourse for any failure of an Approved Obligor to pay the full outstanding balance of any Purchased Receivable, but rather is an obligation to reimburse the Purchaser for electing not to deduct the Purchase Discount from the Purchase Price with respect to the applicable Purchased Receivables for the purpose of administrative convenience.
(b)    On the Closing Date, the Seller Representative will pay to the Purchaser a refundable purchase discount advance (the “Refundable Discount Advance”) equal to 0.40% of the Maximum Facility Amount. The Refundable Discount Advance shall be held in a blocked account established with the Purchaser and maintained in the name of the Seller Representative (the “Refundable Discount Advance Account”). The Refundable Discount Advance Account shall at all times be blocked with respect to the Seller Representative, such that only the Purchaser will be permitted to transfer funds out of the Refundable Discount Advance Account. Subject to repayment in full of the Aggregate Unreimbursed Purchase Discount, the Purchaser will promptly repay the Refundable Discount Advance to the Seller Representative by deposit into the Remittance Account; provided, however, that if the Seller Representative has not paid the Aggregate Unreimbursed Purchase Discount in full as of the Final Maturity Date (or any such earlier date as required by Section 2.9(a)), the Purchaser may set-off the Refundable Discount Advance against the unpaid balance of the Aggregate Unreimbursed Purchase Discount, and upon doing so, the Purchaser will promptly repay the excess Refundable Discount Advance (if any) to the Seller Representative by deposit into the Remittance Account.
Section 2.10.    Eligible Unbilled Receivables. The Seller Representative shall procure that each Eligible Unbilled Receivable sold, transferred and assigned to the Purchaser hereunder will be the subject of an Invoice as soon as reasonably practicable, and in any event within ten (10) Business Days following the Seller Representative’s receipt of a written request to issue such Invoice from the Purchaser; provided, however, that if any Approved Obligor becomes insolvent or is unable to pay its debts or fails or admits in writing its inability generally to pay its debts as they become due, the Seller Representative shall promptly (and in any event, within five (5) Business Days) issue an Invoice for each Purchased Receivable that is an Eligible Unbilled Receivable payable by such Approved Obligor, and shall provide the Purchaser with a copy of each such Invoice. In the event of a termination of the Agreement by either the Purchaser or the Seller Representative or a revocation of the Purchaser’s approval of any Approved Obligor pursuant to Section 13.20, the Purchaser shall have the option to (i) retain ownership of any Eligible Unbilled Receivable and/or (ii) at any time following such termination or revocation, but solely to the extent that an Approved Obligor Termination Event has not occurred with respect to the Approved Obligor of the applicable Eligible Unbilled Receivable, cause the applicable Seller to repurchase such Eligible Unbilled Receivable from the Purchaser pursuant to Section 11. The Purchaser shall promptly inform the Seller Representative following any such termination or revocation of its decision to either retain ownership or cause a Repurchase Event with respect to any such Eligible Unbilled Receivable. In the event that the Purchaser elects to retain ownership of any Eligible Unbilled Receivable after the termination of the Agreement or the revocation of the Purchaser’s approval of any Approved Obligor pursuant to Section 13.20, the Seller Representative shall promptly (and in any event, within five (5) Business Days) issue an Invoice for any such retained Eligible Unbilled Receivable. Upon issuance by the relevant Seller of an Invoice for a Purchased

    



Receivable that is an Eligible Unbilled Receivable, such Purchased Receivable shall immediately become a Billed Receivable for purposes hereof (the date upon which such Purchased Receivable becomes a Billed Receivable, the “Conversion Date”).

Each Seller will advise all Persons inquiring about the ownership of the Receivables that all Purchased Receivables have been sold to the

    



Purchaser. Against the possibility that, contrary to the mutual intent of the parties, the purchase of any Receivable is not characterized as a sale by any applicable court, each Seller hereby grants to the Purchaser a security interest in, and right of setoff with respect to, all of the Purchased Receivables to secure the payment and performance of the Seller’s payment and performance obligations hereunder and under each other Purchase Document. The grant of this security interest is a supplemental protection to the Purchaser and is not meant to negate or affect in any way the intended sale of the Receivables by the Sellers to the Purchaser. In addition, each Seller hereby grants to the Purchaser a security interest in, and right of setoff with respect to, all of the Seller Account Collateral related to such Seller and all proceeds thereof to secure the payment and performance of the Seller’s payment and performance obligations hereunder and under each other Purchase Document. Furthermore, the Seller Representative hereby grants to the Purchase a security interest in, and right of setoff with respect to, the Refundable Discount Advance Account and all proceeds therein to secure the payment of the Aggregate Unreimbursed Purchase Discount by each Seller hereunder.

Section 4.2.    No Purchaser Liability. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Seller Representative and each Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Purchaser shall not be in any way responsible for the performance of any Contract and the Purchaser shall not have any obligation to intervene in any Dispute arising out of the performance of any Contract. All obligations of a Seller as seller of the Goods and Services and provider of any related services, including, without limitation, all obligations of such Seller as seller under the Contracts, all representations and warranty obligations, all servicing obligations, all maintenance obligations, and all delivery, transport and insurance obligations, shall be retained by such Seller (the “Retained Obligations”). Any claim which a Seller may have against an Obligor or any other party, and/or the failure of an Obligor to fulfill its obligations under the applicable Contract, shall not affect the obligations of such Seller to perform its obligations and make payments hereunder, and shall not be used as a defense or as set-off, counterclaim or cross-complaint as against the performance or payment of any of its obligations.

Section 4.3.    Further Assurances. Seller Representative and each Seller agrees that from time to time, at its expense, it will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that the Purchaser may reasonably request in order to perfect, protect or more fully evidence or implement the transactions contemplated hereby, or to enable the Purchaser to exercise or enforce any of its rights with respect to the Purchased Receivables, including, in the case of a Facility Suspension Event and/or a Non-Payment Event, any action reasonably requested by the Purchaser in order to make the sale, assignment and transfer of any Purchased Receivables compliant with FACA.

Each Seller hereby agrees to service and administer the Purchased Receivables sold by it as agent for the Purchaser, all on the terms set out in this Agreement. Each Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to collect each Purchased Receivable sold by it as if such Purchased Receivable had not been purchased by the Purchaser. Each Seller agrees that such Seller shall cooperate with the Purchaser and shall take any and all commercially reasonable actions requested by the Purchaser including, without limitation, initiating appropriate legal proceedings and exercising all rights and remedies that may be available to the Seller under its commercial arrangements with the Approved Obligors, in each case, in connection with collecting and recovering all amounts owed by any Approved Obligor with respect to such Purchased Receivable. The Purchaser agrees to pay the reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses) incurred by each Seller in connection with the performance by each such Seller of the actions requested by the Purchaser and specified in the immediately preceding sentence, provided, however, that the Purchaser shall not be responsible for any costs and/or expenses of any Seller with respect to (i) the preservation of any rights of, or the exercise of any rights by, the Purchaser under, or the enforcement (whether through legal proceedings or otherwise) of, this Agreement against any Seller and (ii) actions necessary for a Seller to perform its representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement (it being understood that any such costs and expenses shall be for the account of the Sellers). Without limiting the foregoing, each Seller agrees to devote to the servicing of Purchased Receivables at

    



least the same amount of time and attention, and to exercise at least the same level of skill, care and diligence in such servicing, as if each Seller were servicing Receivables legally and beneficially owned by it.

(a)If any payment is received by a Seller from an Approved Obligor, and such payment is not identified by such Approved Obligor as relating to a particular Receivable or Purchased Receivable and cannot otherwise be reasonably identified as relating to a particular Receivable or Purchased Receivable, such Seller will first attempt to confer with the Approved Obligor to identify the Receivable(s) to which such payment should be applied. In the event such Seller is unable to identify within two (2) Business Days the Receivable(s) to which such payment should be applied, the Seller Representative and the Purchaser will negotiate in good faith as to the allocation of such payment, and once the allocation of any such payment has been agreed by the Seller Representative and the Purchaser, such allocated payment shall be considered to be relating to the particular Receivable or Purchased Receivable agreed upon by the Seller Representative and the Purchaser. To the extent the preceding sentence results in collections received by a Seller being deemed collections on a Purchased Receivable, such Seller shall promptly, and in any event within two (2) Business Days, deposit such collections into the Collection Account for application in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.6.

(b)If following the application of any funds in the Collection Account which is deemed to be collections on a Purchased Receivable pursuant to this Section, such payment is identified by the applicable Seller to the reasonable satisfaction of the Purchaser as being payment on a Receivable which is not a Purchased Receivable, then the Purchaser shall promptly, and in any event within one Business Day of such identification, repay such amount to the applicable Seller, in immediately available funds, by deposit to the Remittance Account for the benefit of such Seller.

SECTION 12.
Taxes, Etc.

Section 12.1 Taxes. All payments to be made by any Seller under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for or on account of all Taxes, except to the extent required by applicable law. All Taxes required to be deducted or withheld from any amounts paid or payable by a Seller under this Agreement, if

    



any, shall be paid by such Seller to the applicable Governmental Authority within the time allowed under the relevant law. In addition, if any Taxes or amounts in respect of Taxes must be deducted from any amounts payable by a Seller under this Agreement and such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, such Seller shall pay such additional amounts as may be necessary to ensure that the Purchaser receives a net amount equal to the full amount which the Purchaser would have received had payment not been made subject to deduction of Tax by such Seller. Within 30 days of each payment to the relevant Governmental Authority by a Seller under this Section 12.1 of Tax or in respect of Taxes, such Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser if the same is available an original receipt, certified copy or other appropriate evidence issued by the Governmental Authority to whom the payment was made that the Tax has been duly remitted to the appropriate authority. If the Purchaser determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 12.1, the Purchaser shall pay to the applicable Seller an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of additional amounts made under this Section 12.1 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Purchaser and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, however, that nothing contained in this Agreement shall interfere with the right of the Purchaser to arrange its Tax affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit and, in particular, the Purchaser shall not be under any obligation to claim credit, relief, remission, repayment or other benefit from or against its corporate profits or similar Tax liability in respect of the amount of any deduction in priority to any other claims, reliefs, credits or deductions available to it, nor shall any Seller be entitled to make any enquiries of the Purchaser in relation to the Purchaser’s Tax affairs. The Purchaser shall (if and to the extent that it is entitled to do so under applicable law) submit in duplicate to the Seller Representative within 21 days after the Closing Date, and, in any event, prior to the date of the first payment by any Seller to the Purchaser, duly completed and signed copies of either (i) Form W-8BEN-E (relating to the Purchaser and claiming complete or partial exemption from withholding on all amounts (to which such withholding would otherwise apply) to be received by the Purchaser including fees, from such Seller pursuant to this Agreement) or (ii) Form W-8ECI (relating to all amounts (to which such withholding would otherwise apply) to be received by the Purchaser, including fees, from such Seller pursuant to this Agreement). In addition and from time to time the Purchaser shall (if and to the extent that it is entitled to do so under applicable law) submit to the Seller Representative such additional duly completed and signed copies of one or the other of such Forms (or such successor forms as shall be adopted from time to time by the relevant United States taxation authorities) and any additional information as may be required under then current United States law, regulations or any income tax treaty to which the United States is a party to claim the inapplicability of, or exemption or partial exemption from, United States withholding (including backup withholding) taxes on payments in respect of all amounts (to which such withholding would otherwise apply) to be received by the Purchaser including fees, from such Seller pursuant to this Agreement. The Purchaser agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Seller Representative in writing of its legal inability to do so.

Section 12.2.    Duties and Taxes. All stamp, documentary, registration or other like duties or Taxes (excluding Excluded Taxes and any Taxes that are the subject of Section 12.1), including Taxes and any penalties, additions, fines, surcharges or interest relating thereto, or any notarial fees which are imposed or chargeable on or in connection with this Agreement or any other Purchase Document or any other document executed pursuant hereto or thereto shall be paid by each of the Sellers, it being understood and agreed that the Purchaser shall be entitled but not obligated to pay any such duties or Taxes (whether or not they are its primary responsibility), and each of the Sellers shall on demand indemnify the Purchaser against those duties or Taxes and against any reasonable costs and expenses so incurred by it in discharging them. Without prejudice to the survival of any other provision hereof, the terms of this Section 12.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and payment of all other amounts payable hereunder.

Without prejudice to the survival of any other provision hereof, the terms of this Section 13.1 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and payment of all other amounts payable hereunder.

From time to time during the term of this Agreement, the Seller Representative may request that one or more of its Affiliates be added as an additional seller (each, an “Additional Seller”) under this Agreement. Any such request shall be made by the Seller Representative to the Purchaser, and provided that the Additional Seller Conditions Precedent are satisfied (as determined by the Purchaser in its sole and absolute discretion), the Purchaser shall approve any such request. In the event that the Purchaser approves any such request, prior to becoming an Additional Seller such approved Affiliate must execute a Joinder Agreement and deliver the same to the Purchaser. Once an Affiliate has been added as an Additional Seller hereunder, such Additional Seller shall be a Seller hereunder, and each reference in this Agreement to “Seller” or “Sellers” shall also mean and be a reference to such Additional Seller.

Once the Purchaser has effectively revoked its approval of an Approved Obligor, such Person shall immediately cease to be an Approved Obligor hereunder (except with respect to outstanding Purchased Receivables) and the Purchaser shall provide an updated copy of Schedule A to the Seller Representative reflecting the then-current Approved Obligors.

Section 13.21.    Addition of Approved Obligor. From time to time during the term of this Agreement, the Seller Representative may request that one or more account debtors be added as an additional Approved Obligor under this Agreement.
