Procedure for Making Purchases

(a) On any Business Day during the term of this Agreement, the Servicer may deliver to the Purchasers a fully completed Purchase Notice with respect to Scheduled Receivables set forth on Schedule A thereto or submit, via the PrimeRevenue System, a Purchase Notice with respect to the Scheduled Receivables submitted onto the PrimeRevenue System. Each Purchase Notice delivered prior to 11:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on any Business Day shall be deemed to have been made on such Business Day and, except as may be agreed by the Purchasers and the Servicer, the applicable Purchase Date shall be the second (2nd) Business Day after such date, and each Purchase Notice delivered after 11:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on any Business Day shall be deemed to have been made on the next Business Day and, except as may be agreed by the Purchasers and the Servicer, the applicable Purchase Date shall be the second (2nd) Business Day after the date such Purchase Notice is deemed received. The delivery or submission of such Purchase Notice shall be and be deemed for all purposes hereunder as, an offer by the Seller of such Scheduled Receivables to sell to the Purchasers such Scheduled Receivables. The Purchasers, in their sole and absolute discretion, may elect to accept or reject the offer to purchase such Scheduled Receivables, in whole or in part.

(b) The Servicer and the Sellers acknowledge and agree that at the request of the Servicer participation interests in Canadian Purchaser Receivables will be offered for sale by the Canadian Purchaser to the Purchasing Participants, pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of participation agreements entered into between each Purchasing Participant and the Canadian Purchaser. While the Canadian Purchaser will be the nominal purchaser of any such Scheduled Receivables taken up by Purchasing Participants, on the terms and subject to the conditions of such participation agreements, the Purchasers' notice of acceptance of the offer to purchase any such Receivables will identify which Receivables (or portions thereof) will be acquired for the benefit of a Purchasing Participant and the participation percentage of the Purchasing Participant in such Receivables. The Purchasers shall have no liability, contingent or otherwise, for payment of the portion of the Purchase Price allocable to a Purchasing Participant or any loss resulting from the non-payment of such amounts.

(c) If any Purchasing Participant declines (or is deemed to have declined) to fund its participation percentage of the applicable Canadian Purchaser Receivables (a “Declining Participant”) , then by no later than 4:30 p.m. on the second (2nd) Business Day prior to such Purchase Date, the Purchasers shall notify the Servicer of such Declining Participant, and the applicable Purchase Notice shall be deemed withdrawn.

(d) Upon receipt by the Servicer of any notice in accordance with Section 2.2(c), the Servicer shall, at its option and in its sole discretion, submit a new Purchase Notice for a reduced amount of Eligible Receivables that are Canadian Purchaser Receivables so that the Purchase Price of such Canadian Purchaser Receivables shall be equal to or less than the aggregate amount to be funded by the Purchasers and the applicable non-Declining Participant. Any submission of a new Purchase Notice to be made in pursuant to this Section 2.2(d) shall be made in accordance with Section 2.2(a) as if it had not been previously submitted, except that the Purchasers shall distribute such Purchase Notice only to the applicable non-Declining Participant; provided, that the participation percentage of the non-Declining Participant with respect to any revised Canadian Purchaser Receivables subject to such Purchase Notice shall be an amount, stated as a percentage rounded up, if necessary, on a pro rata basis so that the aggregate percentage interests of the Canadian Purchaser and the non-Declining Participant shall equal one hundred percent (100%), equal to (x) the Dollar amount of the Canadian Purchaser’s and the non-Declining Participant’s percentage interest in the Purchase Price of the Canadian Purchaser Receivables included in the original Purchase Notice, divided by (y) the Purchase Price of the revised Canadian Purchaser Receivables included in such revised Purchase Notice.

(e) If the Purchasers and the Purchasing Participants or the non-Declining Participant, as the case may be, accept an offer, then no later than 4:30 p.m. on the second (2nd) Business Day prior to such Purchase Date, the Purchasers shall notify the Servicer and shall identify the Scheduled Receivables that they have agreed to purchase on the Purchase Date therefor, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, and (i) each Purchaser shall purchase from each relevant Seller the accepted Scheduled Receivables and Related Security to be sold by such Seller (allocated to each Purchaser as set out below), and (b) each such Seller shall sell and assign to the relevant Purchaser all of such Seller’s right, title and interest in and to such Scheduled Receivables and Related Security as absolute owner thereof.

Purchase Price. On each Purchase Date, each Purchaser shall pay to the applicable Seller a purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) for each Scheduled Receivable purchased by it on such Purchase Date calculated as follows:

PP = NFV – Discount

In which:

Term Definition

“Discount” equals NFV x DR x (DP/360)

“PP” equals Purchase Price of such Receivable

“NFV” equals Net Face Value of such Receivable as of such Purchase Date

“DR” equals Discount Rate applicable to such Receivable

“DP” equals Discount Period applicable to such Receivable

The parties acknowledge and agree that any Receivables that are Canadian Purchaser Receivables shall be purchased solely by the Canadian Purchaser and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, U.S. Purchaser shall not be liable for the payment of the Purchase Price therefor. The parties further acknowledge and agree that any Receivables that are U.S. Purchaser Receivables shall be purchased solely by the U.S. Purchaser and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Canadian Purchaser shall not be liable for the payment of the Purchase Price therefor.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, unless and until the Purchasers shall have received each Purchasing Participant’s participation percentage interest of the Purchase Price in connection with any requested purchase of Canadian Purchaser Receivables hereunder, the Purchasers shall have no obligation to make any purchase of a Canadian Purchaser Receivable then offered.

(f) In the event any Purchasing Participant (a “Defaulting Participant”) fails to make its participation percentage of the applicable Purchase Price (or any portion thereof) available to the Purchasers in accordance herewith (such amount, the “Defaulted Share”), then, unless a non-Defaulting Participant or the Canadian Purchaser shall have agreed to purchase such Defaulting Participant’s Defaulted Share in such amount and on such terms as may be agreed amongst the Servicer, such non-Defaulting Participant and the Canadian Purchaser, the Canadian Purchaser shall:

(i) On or before 4:30 p.m. on such Purchase Date, revise the applicable Canadian Purchaser Receivables then offered by reducing (in its reasonable discretion) the number of Eligible Receivables subject thereto so that the Purchase Price of the revised Canadian Purchaser Receivables shall be equal to or less than the aggregate amount funded by such non-Defaulting Participant and the Canadian Purchaser and send such revised list of Receivables to the Servicer and the non-Defaulting Participant; and

(ii) Prior to the close of business on such Purchase Date, return any amount funded by such non-Defaulting Participant in excess of the Aggregate Purchase Price paid with respect to any revised list of Receivables to the non-Defaulting Participant.

5.Amendment of Section 2.12(c). Clause (c) of Section 2.12 is hereby deleted in its entirety and clause (d) is restated as clause (c) and amended and restated as follows:

(c) The Purchasers shall have the right to net and set-off against all amounts payable to the applicable Seller’s Account the amount of any indemnity or Deemed Collection then owing by any Seller provided such amounts are denominated in the same currency.
