Within the limits of each Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, Borrower may reborrow under this Section 2.01 amounts that have been repaid pursuant to Section 2.09; provided, however, that, for the avoidance of doubt, Borrower shall not have any right to reborrow all or any portion of any Revolving Credit Loans which are prepaid pursuant to Section 2.05(b).

(c)Class A Loans and Class B Loans. Each Revolving Credit Loan made hereunder shall be designated as a “Class A Loan” or a “Class B Loan” by the Administrative Agent as follows:

(i)Each Revolving Credit Loan shall be funded pro-rata based on the Aggregate Commitments from: (a) first, Class A Funding Amount (without giving effect to any Borrowing Base Shortfall), (b) second, the available Borrowing Base for Class B Loans;

(iii)the remaining amount of such Revolving Credit Loan shall be designated as a “Class B Loan.”

As used herein, the “Class A Funding Amount” means, as of any date of determination, the Borrowing Base calculated with the following adjustments:

(1)in the case of clause (A) in the definition thereof, using 90% in lieu of 95%, as applicable, in respect of the Eligible Principal Balance;

(e)Unused Fee. On the fifth (5th) Business Day following each calendar quarter after the Closing Date, Borrower agrees to pay to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Class A Lenders, a fully-earned, non-refundable unused fee in an amount equal to 1/4th of (i) the average daily difference for the preceding quarter between (i) the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment held by Class A Lenders, and (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Legal Balance of the Class A Loans, multiplied by 0.50%.

(b)Voluntary Prepayments. Except as set forth below, Borrower is not permitted to voluntarily prepay the Revolving Credit Loans, in-whole or in-part, prior to August 30, 2025; provided, however that Borrower may, at any time, repay the Revolving Credit Loans (A) solely from amounts released to the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.09(b)(x) so long as, following such repayment, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans will not be less than the Revolving Loan Floor Amount or (B) in connection with a Monetizing Event so long as the credit facility contemplated by this Revolving Credit Agreement is not replaced. On or after August 30, 2025, Borrower may voluntarily prepay the Revolving Credit Loans in-whole (but not in-part) and terminate the Aggregate Commitments upon five (5) Business Days' written notice to Administrative Agent. If Borrower gives such notice, then Borrower’s prepayment obligation shall be irrevocable, and Borrower shall make such prepayment and terminate the Aggregate Commitments on the date specified therein.

(i)the Outstanding Legal Balance of all Class B Loans shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to fifteen percent (15%); provided, that, in the event of a successful bona-fide initial public offering of CCF Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, the interest rate on the Class B Loans shall be reduced to twelve percent (12%) per annum); provided further, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, any such interest accrued on the Class B Loans up to $96,153.85 on any Remittance Date shall be paid partially as Class B PIK Interest and the remainder as cash; provided further still, that the cumulative aggregate amount of Class B PIK Interest shall not exceed $5,000,000. All Revolving Loan PIK Interest shall automatically be added to the principal amount of the Class B Loans on each Remittance Date and shall thereafter constitute principal of the Class B Loans for all purposes of this Agreement (including the accrual of interest); and

(ii)the Outstanding Legal Balance of all Class A Loans shall bear interest at the Class A Rate. Each determination by Administrative Agent of the interest rate under this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower in all respects absent manifest error and may be computed using any reasonable averaging and attribution method. In connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR, Administrative Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Revolving Credit Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of Borrower or any other party to the Revolving Credit Documents.

(iii)all interest on the Revolving Credit Loans shall accrue from the date of disbursement through the date of repayment in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed.

(b)Default Rate. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (unless waived by each applicable Lender), the Outstanding Legal Balance of all Revolving Credit Loans shall bear interest at the Default Rate without further action on the part of Administrative Agent. Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.

(c)Payment Dates; Accrual of Interest. Interest on each Revolving Credit Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Remittance Date, on the Maturity Date and at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof both before and after judgment, and both before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law.

(d)Inability to Determine Rate. Unless and until a Benchmark Replacement is implemented in accordance with Section 2.08(e) below, if (a) Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower) that Term SOFR cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof, or (b) Class A Lenders determine that for any reason Term SOFR does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding the Class A Loans, Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Class A Lender. Upon receipt of such notice, the Class A Rate shall be the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

Such replacement shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York, New York time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to Borrower without any amendment to, or further action or consent of Borrower, or any other party to, this Agreement or any other Revolving Credit Document.

(ii)In connection with the implementation and administration of Term SOFR or a Benchmark Replacement, Administrative Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Revolving Credit Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of Borrower or any other party to this Agreement or any other Revolving Credit Document.

(iii)Administrative Agent will promptly notify Borrower of (i) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, and (ii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Conforming Changes. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by Administrative Agent 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, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its sole discretion and without consent from Borrower or any other party hereto or to any other Revolving Credit Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.08(e).

(iv)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Revolving Credit Document, at any time, if a relevant setting of the then-current Benchmark is temporarily unavailable due to a systemic market disruption not falling within the scope of subsection (i) above, as determined by Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion, then Administrative Agent may utilize the last available setting of the then-current Benchmark until such time as the source and/or publisher of the then-current Benchmark resumes timely publication of such Benchmark’s settings.

(f)Illegality. If any Class A Lender determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that any applicable law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, it would create safety and soundness risks, or it would not be consistent with sound banking practices, for any Class A Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain or fund Borrowings whose interest is determined by reference to Term SOFR, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon Term SOFR then, upon notice thereof by such Class A Lender to Borrower (through Administrative Agent), the Class A Rate shall be the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin, in each case until such Class A Lender notifies Administrative Agent and Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist.

SECTION 2.09

APPLICATION OF FUNDS.

(a)Daily Remittances from Concentration Accounts. On each Business Day, so long as no Default, Event of Default, Borrowing Base Shortfall or Cease Funding Event has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall direct each Concentration Account Bank, as applicable, to distribute Borrower's Available Funds for such Business Day on deposit in such Concentration Account in the

(iv)Fourth, to Administrative Agent, for further distribution to the Class A Lenders and Class B Lenders in accordance with Section 2.09(c), to pay all accrued but unpaid interest (and Yield Maintenance Fees, if any) on the Class A Loans and Class B Loans since the preceding Remittance Date and then due and payable (including any interest accrued as of any prior Remittance Date and not yet paid);

(x)Tenth, the remainder, if any, to the Borrower Funding Account.

(c)Allocation of Payments Among Lenders.

(iv)The priority of payments set forth in clauses (ii) and (iii) above constitute a subordination agreement by the Class B Lender in favor of the Class A Lender of the Obligations owed to the Class B Lender under this Agreement (the “Class B Subordinated Debt”) to the Obligations owed to the Class A Lender under this Agreement (the “Class A Senior Debt”) and shall be subject to the provisions set forth in Section 10.22.

(v)In addition to and not in limitation of each Lender’s obligations pursuant to Section 2.13, if any Class B Lender shall receive any amount that should have been delivered instead to the Class A Lenders in accordance with the waterfall set forth above in this Section 2.09 (each, a “Mistaken Payment”), then such Lender receiving the Mistaken Payment shall promptly deliver the same to the Administrative Agent for further delivery to the correct recipient(s) in the form received (except for endorsement or assignment where required by the payee), and, until so delivered, the same shall be held in trust for the correct recipient.

(vi)The allocations and other provisions set forth in this Section 2.09(c) are solely to determine the rights and priorities of Administrative Agent and the Lenders as among themselves and may be changed by Administrative Agent and the Lenders without notice to or the consent or approval of Borrower or any other Person.

SECTION 2.10

COMPUTATIONS OF INTEREST AND FEES.

All computations of interest and fees hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed. Interest shall accrue on each Revolving Credit Loan for the day on which the Revolving Credit Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Revolving Credit Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Revolving Credit Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Revolving Credit Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.12(a), bear interest for one day. Each determination by Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.11

EVIDENCE OF DEBT.

(a)Evidence of Payments. The Revolving Credit Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Revolving Credit Loans made by Lenders to Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. If any conflict exists between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. In addition, if so requested by a Lender at any time following the Closing Date, the Borrower shall, within three (3) Business Days of such request, execute and deliver a Note in the form of Exhibit E-1 (with respect to a Class A Lender) or Exhibit E-2 (with respect to a Class B Lender) further evidencing such Lender's Revolving Credit Loans. Each Lender may attach schedules to its respective Note, if any, and endorse thereon the date, amount and maturity of its Revolving Credit Loans and payments with respect thereto. In the event of the mutilation, destruction, loss or theft of any Notes, Borrower shall, upon the written request of the holder of such Notes, and in any event within three (3) Business Days of any such request, execute and deliver to such Lender new replacement Notes in the same form and original principal balance amount and original date as the Notes so mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen, and such replaced Notes shall then be deemed no longer outstanding hereunder.  If the Notes being

ANNEX A TO FOURTH AMENDMENT TO SECOND AMENDMENT

AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT (CCF OpCo, LLC)

replaced have been mutilated, they shall be surrendered to Borrower after the applicable Lender’s receipt of the replacement Notes and if such replaced Notes have been destroyed, lost or stolen, such holder shall furnish Borrower with an indemnity in writing reasonably acceptable such Lender to save them harmless in respect of such replaced Note.

(b)Administrative Agent’s Records Control. If any conflict exists between the accounts and records maintained by Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

SECTION 2.12****PAYMENTS GENERALLY; RIGHT OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT TO MAKE DEDUCTIONS AUTOMATICALLY.

(a)Payments Generally.

(i)All payments to be made by Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by Borrower hereunder shall be made to Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 12:30 p.m. on the date specified herein. Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its applicable Percentage Share (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by Administrative Agent after 12:30 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment to be made by Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

(ii)Borrower hereby authorizes Administrative Agent: (A) to deduct automatically all principal, interest or fees when due hereunder or with respect to any Revolving Credit Loan from any account of Borrower maintained with Administrative Agent; and (B) if and to the extent any payment of principal, interest or fees under this Agreement or otherwise with respect to any Revolving Credit Loan is not made when due to deduct any such amount from any or all of the accounts of Borrower maintained at or controlled by Administrative Agent, as the case may be. Administrative Agent agrees to provide written notice to Borrower of any automatic deduction made pursuant to this Section 2.12(a)(ii) showing in reasonable detail the amounts of such deduction. Each Lender agrees to reimburse Borrower based on its applicable Percentage Share for any amounts deducted from such accounts in excess of the amount due hereunder and under any other Revolving Credit Documents.

(b)Fundings by Lenders, Payments by Borrower and Presumptions by Administrative Agent.

(i)Unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.02 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to

(CCF OpCo, LLC)

ANNEX A TO FOURTH AMENDMENT TO SECOND AMENDMENT

AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT (CCF OpCo, LLC)

Page 58


Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender, on the one hand, and Borrower, on the other hand, each severally agrees to pay to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to Borrower to the date of payment to Administrative Agent, at: (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing; and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Revolving Credit Loans. If Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to Borrower the amount of such interest paid by Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Credit Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to Administrative Agent.

(ii)Unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice from Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due hereunder to Administrative Agent for the account of Lenders that Borrower will not make such payment, Administrative Agent may assume that Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to Lenders the amount due. In such event, if Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then Lenders each severally agrees to repay to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lenders in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to it to the date of payment to Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. A notice of Administrative Agent to any Lender or Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(c)Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to Administrative Agent funds for any Revolving Credit Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to Borrower by Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Borrowing set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

(d)Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of Lenders hereunder to make Revolving Credit Loans and to make payments under Section 10.04(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Revolving Credit Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 10.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Revolving Credit Loan, purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 10.04(c).

(e)Funding Sources. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Revolving Credit Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Revolving Credit Loan in any particular place or manner.

SECTION 2.13

SHARING OF PAYMENTS.

If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Revolving Credit Loans made by it, resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Revolving Credit Loans or accrued interest thereon greater than its Percentage Share (or other applicable share as provided herein) thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall: (a) notify Administrative Agent of such fact; and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Revolving Credit Loans of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Revolving Credit Loans and other amounts owing them; provided that: (i) if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and (ii)the provisions of this Section 2.13 shall not be construed to apply to: (A) any payment made by Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement; or (B) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Revolving Credit Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section 2.13 shall apply).

Each Credit Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Credit Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Credit Party in the amount of such participation.

SECTION 2.14

[INTENTIONALLY OMITTED].

SECTION 2.15

SECURITY FOR THE OBLIGATIONS; SERVICE PROVIDERS.

Except as otherwise specifically provided in any Revolving Credit Document, all Obligations shall be secured pursuant to the terms of the Collateral Documents. All cash collateral required to secure the Obligations (or any portion thereof) shall be maintained in accordance with Section 6.13, and be subject to the perfected, first priority security interest of Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Administrative Agent and the Lenders; provided that the security interest in each Zero Balance Account (or any CIC Existing Account, in the Administrative Agent’s and Class B Agent’s Permitted Discretion), shall not be required to be perfected. Borrower shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each Processor, no later than the thirtieth (30th) day following the Closing Date, (i) to acknowledge the perfected, first priority security interest of Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Administrative Agent and the Lenders, in and to all Collections of Borrower or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, and also in and to all Contractual Obligations between Borrower or such Subsidiary on the one hand, and the Processor, on the other hand, and (ii) to promptly execute a collateral assignment of rights with respect to such Contractual Obligations, in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent in its Permitted Discretion.

SECTION 2.16

DEFAULTING LENDERS.

Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(CCF OpCo, LLC)

ANNEX A TO FOURTH AMENDMENT TO SECOND AMENDMENT

AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT (CCF OpCo, LLC)

Page 60


(a)such Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive any portion of the Yield Maintenance Fee, if any, payable pursuant to Section 2.05(b); and

(b)in the event that Administrative Agent and Borrower agree that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Credit Loans of the other Revolving Credit Lenders as Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Revolving Credit Loans in accordance with its Revolving Credit Percentage Share.

ARTICLE 3

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

SECTION 3.01

TAXES.

(a)Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by Borrower to or on account of any obligation of any CCF Party hereunder or under any other Revolving Credit Document shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Taxes, provided that, if any Withholding Agent shall be required by any applicable Law to deduct any Taxes from such payments, then: (i) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, the sum payable by the applicable CCF Party shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.01), Administrative Agent or Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made; (ii) the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deductions; and (iii) the applicable Withholding Agent Borrower shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law.

(b)Payment of Other Taxes by Borrower.  Without limiting the provisions of Section 3.01(a), Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes 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.

(c)Indemnification by Borrower. Borrower shall indemnify Administrative Agent and each Lender, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.01) paid by Administrative Agent or Lenders, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other 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 Borrower by any Lender (with a copy to Administrative Agent), or by Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d)Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall jointly and severally indemnify Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Credit Party has not already indemnified Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Credit Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.6(c) relating to the maintenance of a Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by Administrative Agent in connection with any Revolving Credit 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 by Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Revolving Credit Document or otherwise payable by Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to Administrative Agent under this paragraph (d).

(e)Evidence of Payments. If requested in writing by Administrative Agent, any Credit Party shall deliver to Administrative Agent, as soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes under this Section 3.01 by any Credit Party to a Governmental Authority, 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 Administrative Agent.

(f)Status of Lenders. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Revolving Credit 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 Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by 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 Lender 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 paragraphs (ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) of this Section) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii)

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

(A)any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or about the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is not subject to U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Lender 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 Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(g)Treatment of Certain Refunds. If Administrative Agent or any Lender receives a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by Borrower or with respect to which Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.01, it shall pay to Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by Borrower under this Section 3.01 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that Borrower, upon the request of Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, agrees to repay the amount paid over to Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, in the event Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will Administrative Agent or Lender be required to pay any amount to a Borrower or any CCF Party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place Administrative Agent or Lender (as applicable) in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such 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 subsection (g) shall not be construed to require Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to Borrower or any other Person.

(h)Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.01 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Revolving Credit Document.

to such Lender in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 3.01 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Taxes described in clauses (b) through (c) of the definition of Excluded Tax payable by such Lender); or

(iii)impose on any Lender any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Revolving Credit Loans made by such Lender or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Revolving Credit Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Revolving Credit Loan), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount), then, upon request of such applicable Lender, Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b)Capital Requirements. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or the Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Revolving Credit Loans made by such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c)Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section 3.04, as well as the basis for determining such amount or amounts, and delivered to Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof.

(d)Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.04 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.04 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six (6) months prior to the date that such Lender notifies Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six (6) month period referred to in this subsection (d) shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

SECTION 3.05

[INTENTIONALLY OMITTED].

SECTION 3.06

MITIGATION OBLIGATIONS.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 10.01 if any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, then such Lender, at the request of Borrower, shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Revolving Credit Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder

The execution and delivery by each of the Credit Parties and their respective Subsidiaries, and the performance by each of the Credit Parties and their respective Subsidiaries of its obligations under, each Revolving Credit Document to which such Person is party have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other organizational action, and do not and will not: (a) contravene the terms of any of such Person’s Organizational Documents; (b) conflict with or result in any breach or contravention of, or the creation of any Lien under, or require any payment to be made under: (i) any Contractual Obligation to which such Person is a party or affecting such Person or the properties of such Person or any Subsidiary thereof or (ii) any order, injunction, writ or decree of any Governmental Authority or any arbitral award to which such Person or its property is subject; or (c) violate in any material respect any applicable Law. Each of the Credit Parties and their respective Subsidiaries are in compliance with all Contractual Obligations referred to in clause (b)(i), except to the extent that any failure to be in compliance could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Credit Party or any Subsidiary thereof is a party to or is bound by any Contractual Obligation, or is subject to any restriction in any Organizational Document, or any requirement of Law, which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 5.03

GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORIZATION; COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS.

(b)Compliance with Laws. Each Credit Party and each Subsidiary thereof are in compliance in all material respects with the requirements of all Laws and all orders, writs, injunctions and decrees applicable to it or to its properties, except in such instances in which such requirement of Law or order, writ, injunction or decree is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and the failure to comply therewith, either individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 5.04

BINDING EFFECT.

This Agreement has been, and each other Revolving Credit Document (when delivered hereunder) will have been, duly executed and delivered by each Credit Party that is party thereto. This Agreement and each other Revolving Credit Document to which any Credit Party is a party constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligations of such Credit Party, enforceable against such Credit Party in accordance with their respective terms.

SECTION 5.05

LITIGATION.

Except as specifically disclosed on Schedule 5.05, there are no actions, suits, proceedings, claims, disputes or Regulatory Actions pending, or to the best knowledge of Borrower, threatened in writing, at law, in equity, in arbitration or before any Governmental Authority, against any Credit Party or any Subsidiary of any Credit Party that: (a) purport to affect or pertain to any Revolving Credit Document, or any of the transactions contemplated thereby (including any prior iteration of the Revolving Credit Documents such as the Existing Revolving Credit Agreement); or (b) could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No injunction, writ, temporary restraining order or any order of any nature has been issued by any court or other Governmental Authority purporting to enjoin or restrain the execution, delivery or performance of any Revolving Credit Document, or directing that the transactions provided for therein not be consummated as therein provided. Since the Closing Date, there has been no change in the status of any matters disclosed on Schedule 5.05 that, individually or in the aggregate, has resulted in, or materially increased the likelihood of, a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 5.06

NO DEFAULTS, CEASE FUNDING EVENT OR BACKUP SERVICING TRIGGER EVENT.

No Default, Event of Default, Cease Funding Event, Cease Funding Event (Defaulting Lender) or Backup Servicing Trigger Event has occurred and is continuing or would result from the incurring of any Obligations by Borrower or from the grant and perfection of the Liens upon the Collateral in favor of Administrative Agent. As of the Closing Date, none of Borrower, any other Credit Party or any Subsidiary of any Credit Party is in default under or with respect to any Contractual Obligation in any respect that, individually or together with all such defaults, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, or that would, if such default had occurred after the Closing Date, create an Event of Default under Section 8.01(e).

SECTION 5.07

EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS.

(a)Compliance with ERISA Generally. As of the Closing Date, Borrower and each ERISA Affiliate are in compliance with the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code and other federal or state Law with respect to each Plan, and each Plan which is intended to qualify under subsection 401(a) of the Code has received a favorable determination letter from the IRS and nothing has

(CCF OpCo, LLC)

ANNEX A TO FOURTH AMENDMENT TO SECOND AMENDMENT

AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT (CCF OpCo, LLC)

Page 73


occurred that would cause the loss of such qualification, in each case, except as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. As of the Closing Date, Borrower and each ERISA Affiliate have made all required contributions to any Pension Plan subject to Section 412 of the Code, and no application for a funding waiver or an extension of any amortization period pursuant to Section 412 of the Code has been made with respect to any Plan.

(b)No Actions. As of the Closing Date: (i) there are no pending or, to the best knowledge of Borrower, threatened claims, actions or lawsuits, or action by any Governmental Authority, with respect to any Plan that has resulted or could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect; and (ii) there has been no prohibited transaction or violation of the fiduciary responsibility rules with respect to any Plan that has resulted or could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(c)Certain Events. As of the Closing Date: (i) except as could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, no ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur and neither Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has engaged in a transaction that could be subject to Section 4069(a) or 4212(c) of ERISA; and (ii) no event or circumstance has occurred or exists that, if such event or circumstance had occurred or arisen after the Closing Date, would create an Event of Default under Section 8.01(i).

(d)Each Foreign Pension Plan is in compliance in all material respects with all requirements of Law applicable thereto and the respective requirements of the governing documents for such plan except to the extent such non-compliance could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. With respect to each Foreign Pension Plan, none of Borrower, its Affiliates or any of its directors, officers, employees or agents has engaged in a transaction which would subject Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, to a tax or civil penalty which could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

commitments and obligation shall be terminated;

(b)Acceleration of Obligations. Declare the Outstanding Legal Balance and all other Obligations payable hereunder or under any other Revolving Credit Document to be immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower; and

(c)Exercise of Rights and Remedies.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Credit Party hereby authorizes Administrative Agent (and each Consumer Receivable Obligor is hereby directed and authorized to recognize such authorization), following the occurrence of an Event of Default or a Backup Servicing Trigger Event, to direct any or all Consumer Receivable Obligors to make all further payments on Eligible Consumer Receivables in accordance with the directions of Administrative Agent.

In the event that following the occurrence of a Backup Servicing Trigger Event, Administrative Agent does not receive any installment of principal or interest due and payable under any of such pledged Eligible Consumer Receivables on or prior to the date upon which such installment becomes due, Administrative Agent may, at its election (but without any obligation to do so), request Backup Servicing Agent to give notice of such event of default to the defaulting party or parties, and Administrative Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation), subject to the terms of such instruments, to accelerate payment of the unpaid balance of any of such pledged Eligible Consumer Receivables in default and to enforce any remedies available to the holder of such pledged Eligible Consumer Receivables, with respect to such event of default. Each Credit Party hereby further authorizes, directs, and empowers Administrative Agent (or any Person as may be designated by Administrative Agent in writing) to collect and receive all checks and drafts evidencing such payments and to endorse such checks or drafts in the name of such Credit Party and, upon such endorsements, to collect and receive the money therefor. Subject to applicable Laws, each Credit Party also authorizes Administrative Agent’s agents and advisors to conduct verifications of the pledged Eligible Consumer Receivables by contacting the related Consumer Receivable Obligors directly. The right to endorse checks and drafts granted pursuant to the preceding sentence is irrevocable by the Credit Parties until such time as the Discharge of Secured Obligations has occurred and this Agreement has terminated in accordance with Section 10.05, and the banks or banks paying such checks or drafts upon such endorsements, as well as the signers of the same, shall be as fully protected as though the checks or drafts had been endorsed by the Credit Parties.

During (i) the sixty (60) day period immediately following the occurrence of an Event of Default, other than an Event of Default under Section 8.01(n), or (ii) the thirty (30) day period immediately following the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 8.01(n), Required Lenders shall not request, or consent to, the exercise of any rights or remedies by Administrative Agent against any Credit Party or the Collateral pursuant to the Revolving Credit

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

SECTION 9.10

Each Lender hereby: (a) irrevocably authorizes Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Guarantor from its obligations under a Guaranty if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder; and (b) agrees that, upon request by Administrative Agent at any time, it will confirm in writing Administrative Agent’s authority to release any such Guarantor pursuant to this Section 9.10.

Each Lender hereby, irrevocably authorizes and directs Administrative Agent:  (i) to enter into the Collateral Documents for the benefit of such Person; (ii) without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any such Person from time to time prior to an Event of Default, to take any action with respect to any Collateral or Collateral Documents that may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the Liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to the Collateral Documents; (iii) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by Administrative Agent under any Revolving Credit Document: (A) upon the Discharge of Secured Obligations; (B) that is sold or to be sold as part of or in connection with any Asset Sale or other Disposition permitted hereunder or under any other Revolving Credit Document; (C) subject to Section 10.01, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by Required Lenders; or (D) in connection with any foreclosure sale or other disposition of Collateral after the occurrence of an Event of Default; and (iv) to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by Administrative Agent under any Revolving Credit Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by this Agreement or any other Revolving Credit Document. Upon request by Administrative Agent at any time, each Lender will confirm in writing Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 9.11.

(b)Certain Actions by Administrative Agent. Subject to Section 9.11(a)(iii) and Section 9.11(a)(iv), Administrative Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by each Lender to) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release or subordination of Liens granted to Administrative Agent herein or pursuant hereto upon the applicable Collateral; provided that: (i) Administrative Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms that, in Administrative Agent’s opinion, would expose Administrative Agent to or create any liability or entail any consequence other than the release or subordination of such Liens without recourse or warranty; and (ii) such release or subordination shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or any Liens upon (or obligations of Borrower or any other CCF Party in respect of) all interests retained by Borrower or any other CCF Party, including the proceeds of the sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral. In the event of any sale or transfer of Collateral, or any foreclosure with respect to any of the Collateral, Administrative Agent shall be authorized to deduct all expenses reasonably incurred by Administrative Agent from the proceeds of any such sale, transfer or foreclosure.

Each Lender hereby appoints each other such Person as agent for the purpose of perfecting Administrative Agent’s or such Person’s security interest in assets that, in accordance with Article 9 or Division 9 (as applicable) of the UCC, can be perfected only by possession. Should any such Person (other than Administrative Agent) obtain possession of any such Collateral, such Person shall notify Administrative Agent thereof, and, promptly upon Administrative Agent’s request therefor, shall deliver such Collateral to Administrative Agent or in accordance with Administrative Agent’s instructions.

(a)Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any asset in favor of Borrower or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of Borrower or any other Credit Party is made to Administrative Agent or any Lender, or Administrative Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by Administrative Agent or any Lender in such Person’s discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law or otherwise, then: (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred; and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by Administrative Agent plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate.

(b)Subject to Section 10.04 and all other provisions of this Agreement and any other Revolving Credit Document that survive the Discharge of the Secured Obligations in accordance with their terms, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect until the Discharge of Secured Obligations has occurred.

SECTION 10.06

(a)Successors and Assigns Generally.

Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this Section 10.06 and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of Administrative Agent and each Lender) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b)Assignments by any Lender. Any Lender may at any time assign (x) to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights (but not its obligations) under this Agreement, and (y) to an Affiliate of any Lender all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, in each case. including all or a portion of its Commitment(s) and the Revolving Credit Loans at the time owing to it; provided that (i) except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment(s) and Revolving Credit Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender, the aggregate amount of the Commitment(s) (which for this purpose includes Revolving Credit Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if any Commitment is not then in effect, the Outstanding Legal Balance of the Revolving Credit Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to Administrative Agent or, if a “trade date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of such trade date, shall not be less than $1,000,000.00 unless Administrative Agent otherwise consents in its sole discretion; (ii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights (and, solely with respect to an assignment to an Affiliate of a Lender, the assigning Lender's obligations) under this Agreement with respect to the Revolving Credit Loans or the Commitment assigned; (iii) any assignment of a Commitment must be approved by Administrative Agent, unless the Person that is the proposed assignee is itself a Lender (whether or not the proposed assignee would otherwise qualify as an Eligible Assignee) or in the case of any assignment of Commitments of any Lender that is a Class B Lender as of the Closing Date, an Affiliate of such Class B Lender; (iv) the Eligible Assignee, if it is not then a Lender, shall deliver to Administrative Agent an Administrative Detail Form; (v) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500.00; provided that Administrative Agent hereby waives such

processing and recordation fee in connection with any assignment effected pursuant to Section 3.07(a); (vi) no assignment shall require the prior written consent of Borrower; and (vii) in no event shall any Person be entitled to be a Class A Lender without the prior consent of Administrative Agent (including without limitation, any Person which is directly or indirectly owned, in whole or in part, by BP Funding Trust V or any Affiliate of BP Funding Trust V). Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section 10.06, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights (and, solely with respect to an assignment to an Affiliate of a Lender, the obligations) of Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall not be released from its obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption between an assigning Lender and an Affiliate of a Lender, the assigning Lender shall be released from its obligations under this Agreement to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption between an assigning Lender and an Affiliate of a Lender covering all of such assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such assigning Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01, Section 3.04 and Section 10.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such Assignment and Assumption. Upon request, Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver Notes to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of its rights under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section 10.06.

(c)Register. Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrower, shall maintain at Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a Register, which meets the requirements of U.S. Treasury Regulation § 5f.103-1(c). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and Borrower, Administrative Agent and Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of all rights under this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by each of Borrower and Lenders, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. In addition, at any time that a request for a consent for a material or substantive change to the Revolving Credit Documents is pending, any Lender wishing to consult with other Lenders in connection therewith may request and receive from Administrative Agent a copy of the Register.

(d)Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, Borrower or Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Participant in all or a portion of such Person’s rights (but, except with respect to a Participant that is an Affiliate of a Lender, not obligations) under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment(s) and/or the Revolving Credit Loans owing to it); provided that: (i) such Person’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged; (ii) such Person shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations; and (iii) Borrower, Administrative Agent and Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Person in connection with such Person’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any document pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Person shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Revolving Credit Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and the other Revolving Credit Documents; provided that such document may provide that such Person will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 10.01 that affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section 10.06, Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01, Section 3.04 and

(CCF OpCo, LLC)

ANNEX A TO FOURTH AMENDMENT TO SECOND AMENDMENT

AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT (CCF OpCo, LLC)

Page 123


Section 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender hereunder and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section 10.06. To the extent permitted by Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender, as long as such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of 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 obligations under this Agreement and the Revolving Credit Loans; provided that no 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 Revolving Credit Loans) 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 Untitled States Treasury Regulations. The entries in each such participant register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such 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 the avoidance of doubt, Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a register of Participants.

(e)Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.04 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 unless Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of Borrower, to comply with Section 3.01(e) as though it were a Lender.

(f)Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(g)Class A Syndication. In connection with efforts of Veritex to syndicate Revolving Credit Commitment in accordance with the Engagement Letter dated December 1, 2023, Lenders agree that (i) Class B Lenders will, within ten (10) Business Days following a written request of Veritex, assign to an Eligible Assignee selected by Veritex in accordance with Section 10.06(b) a portion of the Revolving Credit Commitment classified as Class B Loans in an amount requested by such Eligible Assignee (a “Syndication Transfer”), and (ii) simultaneously with such Syndication Transfer, the portion of the Revolving Credit Commitment classified as Class B Loans assigned to such Eligible Assignee shall be reclassified as Class A Loans; provided that, in no event shall the aggregate Class A Revolving Credit Commitment Amount exceed $80,000,000. Administrative Agent and Lender agree to execute such documents as may be necessary to reflect such Syndication Transfer and the conversion of such Class B Loan to a Class A Loan. Class B Lenders agree to cooperate with any Syndication Transaction, including the execution and delivery of any documents, instruments or certificates as may be reasonably necessary to evidence or effectuate such Syndication Transfer. In the event Class B Lenders are unwilling to assign, or unable to agree which Class B Lender will assign, a portion of their Revolving Credit Commitment as part of a Syndication Transfer, Administrative Agent shall have the right to either (A) select the portion of the Class B Loan which will be subject to the Syndication Transfer and execute such documents as may be necessary to effectuate such Syndication Transfer without the consent or approval of Class B Lenders, or (B) declare the Class B Lender to be Defaulting Lenders until such time

as the Syndication Transfer is completed.

(h)Purchase Option. During the existence of an Event of Default or Subordination Event, BP Funding Trust V shall have the option to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Class A Revolving Credit Commitments from Class A Lenders by providing prior written notice (which written notice shall be irrevocable) (“Purchase Notice”) which sets forth a closing date for the purchase of the Class A Revolving Credit Commitments no less than five (5) Business Days after such Purchase Notice and no later than thirty (30) days after such Purchase Notice (the “Purchase Closing Date”). On the Purchase Closing Date (a) BP Funding Trust V shall pay to each Class A Lender the aggregate Outstanding Legal Balance of all of its Class A Loans at the time owing to it, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, all accrued and unpaid fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder (collectively, the “Purchase Price”), and (b) Class A Lenders shall cause the assignment of the Class A Loans to BP Funding Trust V pursuant to this Section 10.06 upon receipt of the Purchase Price. Simultaneously with the receipt of the Purchase Price by every Class A Lender, Veritex shall be deemed to have automatically resigned as Administrative Agent and BP Funding Trust V shall be automatically appointed as successor Administrative Agent. Failure of BP Funding Trust V to deliver the Purchase Price to every Class A Lender on or before the Purchase Closing Date (a “Purchase Default”) shall constitute a termination of the right to purchase the Class A Revolving Credit Commitment pursuant to this subsection (h). A Standstill Period shall be deemed to exist when a Purchase Notice is delivered, which Standstill Period shall terminate on the Purchase Closing Date or a Purchase Default.

SECTION 10.07

TREATMENT OF CERTAIN INFORMATION; CONFIDENTIALITY.

Administrative Agent and each Lender each agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information by exercising the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information in the ordinary course of business in accordance with its customary practices, except that Information (as defined below) may be disclosed: (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, trustees, partners, owners, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys, representatives and financing sources (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and accepts receipt of such Information subject to a duty of confidentiality); (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners); (c) to the extent required by applicable Laws or regulations or by any investigative process, subpoena or similar legal process; (d) to any other party hereto; (e) to any Person that provides statistical analysis and/or information services to Administrative Agent or Lenders (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and accepts receipt of such Information subject to a duty of confidentiality); (f) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Revolving Credit Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Revolving Credit Document or the interpretation, preservation or enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder; (g) to: (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement; or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to any Credit Party; provided that, in each case of this clause (g)(i) and (ii), the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and will accept receipt of such Information subject to a duty of confidentiality; (h) to any other Person with the consent of Borrower; or (i) to the extent such Information: (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.07; or (ii) becomes available to Administrative Agent, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a non-confidential basis from a source other than Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof and not in contravention of this Section 10.07. For purposes of this Section 10.07,

“Information” means all information (including financial information) received from the Credit Parties relating to the Credit Parties or any of their respective businesses and constituting financial information or other any other information marked as “CONFIDENTIAL” when furnished, other than any such information whatsoever that is available to Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis, and not in contravention of this Section 10.07, prior to disclosure by the Credit Parties thereof. Any  Person  required  to  maintain  the  confidentiality  of  Information  as  provided  in  this Section 10.07 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information in the ordinary course of business in accordance with its customary practices. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Credit Parties hereby agree that Administrative Agent, Lenders or any of their respective Affiliates may (i) disclose a general description of transactions arising under the Revolving Credit Documents for advertising, marketing or other similar purposes and (ii) use the Credit Parties’ name, logo or other indicia germane to such party in connection with such advertising, marketing or other similar purposes.

SECTION 10.08

RIGHT OF SETOFF.

If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of Borrower or any other Credit Party against any and all of the Obligations to such Lender or such Affiliate, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Revolving Credit Document and although such obligations of Borrower or such Credit Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such obligations. The rights of each Lender and its Affiliates under this Section 10.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or its Affiliates may have. Each Lender agrees to notify Borrower and Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, NO LENDER SHALL EXERCISE, OR ATTEMPT TO EXERCISE, ANY RIGHT OF SET-OFF, BANKER’S LIEN, OR THE LIKE, AGAINST ANY DEPOSIT ACCOUNT OR PROPERTY OF BORROWER OR ANY SUBSIDIARY THEREOF HELD OR MAINTAINED BY SUCH LENDER WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT.

SECTION 10.09

INTEREST RATE LIMITATION.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Revolving Credit Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Revolving Credit Documents shall not exceed the Maximum Rate. If Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Revolving Credit Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law: (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest; (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof; and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

SECTION 10.10

COUNTERPARTS; INTEGRATION; EFFECTIVENESS; ELECTRONIC EXECUTION.

(a)Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Revolving Credit Documents, and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to Administrative Agent, constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by Administrative Agent and when Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or in electronic (i.e., “pdf” or “tif”) format shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

(b)Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state Laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

SECTION 10.11

SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Revolving Credit Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Borrowing, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the Discharge of Secured Obligations has not occurred.

SECTION 10.12

SEVERABILITY.

If any provision of this Agreement or the other Revolving Credit Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Revolving Credit Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 10.13

USA PATRIOT ACT NOTICE.

Each Lender that is subject to the Act and Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notify Borrower that, pursuant to the requirements of the Act, they are each required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Borrower and each other Credit Party, which information includes the name and address of Borrower and each other Credit Party and other

(CCF OpCo, LLC)

ANNEX A TO FOURTH AMENDMENT TO SECOND AMENDMENT

AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT (CCF OpCo, LLC)

Page 127


information that will allow such Lender or Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify Borrower and each other Credit Party in accordance with the Act.

SECTION 10.14

GUARANTY BY SUBSIDIARIES.

(a)Guaranty. Each Subsidiary of Borrower party hereto (each, a “Subsidiary Guarantor”) unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to Administrative Agent and Lenders the full and prompt payment when due (whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise) and performance of the Obligations (the “Guaranteed Obligations”). The Guaranteed Obligations include interest that, but for a proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law, would have accrued on such Guaranteed Obligations, whether or not a claim is allowed against Borrower for such interest in any such proceeding.

(b)Separate Obligation. Each Subsidiary Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the Guaranteed Obligations are separate and distinct from any Debt arising under or in connection with any other document, including under any provision of this Agreement other than this Section 10.14, executed at any time by such Subsidiary Guarantor in favor of Administrative Agent or any Lender; and (ii) such Subsidiary Guarantor shall pay and perform all of the Guaranteed Obligations as required under this Section 10.14, and Administrative Agent and Lenders may enforce any and all of their respective rights and remedies hereunder, without regard to any other document, including any provision of this Agreement other than this Section 10.14, at any time executed by such Subsidiary Guarantor in favor of Administrative Agent or any Lenders, irrespective of whether any such other document, or any provision thereof or hereof, shall for any reason become unenforceable or any of the Debt thereunder shall have been discharged, whether by performance, avoidance or otherwise. Each Subsidiary Guarantor acknowledges that, in providing benefits to Borrower, Administrative Agent and Lenders are relying upon the enforceability of this Section 10.14 and the Guaranteed Obligations as separate and distinct Debt of such Subsidiary Guarantor, and each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that Administrative Agent and Lenders would be denied the full benefit of their bargain if at any time this Section 10.14 or the Guaranteed Obligations were treated any differently. The fact that the guaranty is set forth in this Agreement rather than in a separate guaranty document is for the convenience of Borrower and Subsidiary Guarantors and shall in no way impair or adversely affect the rights or benefits of Administrative Agent and Lenders under this Section 10.14. Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees to execute and deliver a separate document, promptly upon request at any time of Administrative Agent or any Lender, evidencing such Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations under this Section 10.14. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, a separate action or actions may be brought against such Subsidiary Guarantor, whether or not Borrower, any other Subsidiary Guarantor or any other Person is joined therein or a separate action or actions are brought against Borrower, any such other Subsidiary Guarantor or any such other Person.

(c)Limitation of Guaranty. To the extent that any court of competent jurisdiction shall impose by final judgment under applicable Law (including the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act and Sections 544 and 548 of the Bankruptcy Code) any limitations on the amount of any Subsidiary Guarantor’s liability with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations that Administrative Agent or any Lender can enforce under this Section 10.14, Administrative Agent and Lenders by their acceptance hereof accept such limitation on the amount of such Subsidiary Guarantor’s liability hereunder to the extent needed to make this Section 10.14 fully enforceable and nonavoidable.

(d)Liability of Subsidiary Guarantors. The liability of any Subsidiary Guarantor under this Section 10.14 shall be irrevocable, absolute, independent and unconditional, and shall not be affected by any circumstance that might constitute a discharge of a surety or guarantor other than the

(CCF OpCo, LLC)

ANNEX A TO FOURTH AMENDMENT TO SECOND AMENDMENT

AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT (CCF OpCo, LLC)

Page 128


indefeasible payment and performance in full of all Guaranteed Obligations. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees as follows:

(i)such Subsidiary Guarantor’s liability hereunder shall be the immediate, direct, and primary obligation of such Subsidiary Guarantor and shall not be contingent upon Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s exercise or enforcement of any remedy it may have against Borrower or any other Person, or against any collateral or other security for any Guaranteed Obligations;

(ii)this Guaranty is a guaranty of payment when due and not merely of collectibility;

(iii)Administrative Agent and Lenders may enforce this Section 10.14 upon the occurrence of an Event of Default notwithstanding the existence of any dispute among Administrative Agent and Lenders, on the one hand, and Borrower or any other Person, on the other hand, with respect to the existence of such Event of Default;

(iv)such Subsidiary Guarantor’s payment of a portion, but not all, of the Guaranteed Obligations shall in no way limit, affect, modify or abridge such Subsidiary Guarantor’s liability for any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations remaining unsatisfied; and

(v)such Subsidiary Guarantor’s liability with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be impaired or affected by, nor shall such Subsidiary Guarantor be exonerated or discharged by, any of the following events:

(A)any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law;

(B)any limitation, discharge, or cessation of the liability of Borrower or any other Person for any Guaranteed Obligations due to any statute, regulation or rule of law, or any invalidity or unenforceability in whole or in part of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or the Revolving Credit Documents;

(C)any merger, acquisition, consolidation or change in structure of any CCF Holdings or any other guarantor or Person, or any sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of any or all of the assets or shares of Borrower or any other Person;

(D)any assignment or other transfer, in whole or in part, of Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s interests in and rights under this Agreement (including this Section 10.14) or the other Revolving Credit Documents;

(E)any claim, defense, counterclaim or setoff, other than that of prior performance, that Borrower, such Subsidiary Guarantor, any other Guarantor or any other Person may have or assert, including any defense of incapacity or lack of corporate or other authority to execute any of the Revolving Credit Documents;

(F)Administrative Agent’s or any Lenders’ amendment, modification, renewal, extension, cancellation or surrender of any Revolving Credit Document or any Guaranteed Obligations;

(G)Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s exercise or non-exercise of any power, right or remedy with respect to any Guaranteed Obligations or any collateral;

(CCF OpCo, LLC)

ANNEX A TO FOURTH AMENDMENT TO SECOND AMENDMENT

AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT (CCF OpCo, LLC)

Page 129


(H)Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s vote, claim, distribution, election, acceptance, action or inaction in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law; or

(I)any other guaranty, whether by such Subsidiary Guarantor or any other Person, of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other indebtedness, obligations or liabilities of Borrower to Administrative Agent or any Lender.

(e)Consents of Subsidiary Guarantors. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby unconditionally consents and agrees that, without notice to or further assent from such Subsidiary Guarantor:

(i)the principal amount of the Guaranteed Obligations may be increased or decreased and additional indebtedness or obligations of Borrower under the Revolving Credit Documents may be incurred and the time, manner, place or terms of any payment under any Revolving Credit Document may be extended or changed, by one or more amendments, modifications, renewals or extensions of any Revolving Credit Document or otherwise;

(ii)the time for Borrower’s (or any other Person’s) performance of or compliance with any term, covenant or agreement on its part to be performed or observed under any Revolving Credit Document may be extended, or such performance or compliance waived, or failure in or departure from such performance or compliance consented to, all in such manner and upon such terms as Administrative Agent and Lenders (as applicable under the relevant Revolving Credit Documents) may deem proper;

(iii)Administrative Agent and Lenders may request and accept other guaranties and may take and hold security as collateral for the Guaranteed Obligations, and may, from time to time, in whole or in part, exchange, sell, surrender, release, subordinate, modify, waive, rescind, compromise or extend such other guaranties or security and may permit or consent to any such action or the result of any such action, and may apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof; and

(iv)Administrative Agent or Lenders may exercise, or waive or otherwise refrain from exercising, any other right, remedy, power or privilege even if the exercise thereof affects or eliminates any right of subrogation or any other right of such Subsidiary Guarantor against Borrower.

(f)Subsidiary Guarantor’s Waivers. Each Subsidiary Guarantor waives and agrees not to assert:

(i)any right to require Administrative Agent or any Lender to proceed against Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person, or to pursue any other right, remedy, power or privilege of Administrative Agent or any Lender whatsoever;

(ii)the defense of the statute of limitations in any action hereunder or for the collection or performance of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(iii)any defense arising by reason of any lack of corporate or other authority or any other defense of Borrower, such Guarantor or any other Person;

(CCF OpCo, LLC)

ANNEX A TO FOURTH AMENDMENT TO SECOND AMENDMENT

AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT (CCF OpCo, LLC)

Page 130


(iv)any defense based upon Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s errors or omissions in the administration of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(v)any rights to set-offs and counterclaims;

(vi)without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by applicable Law limiting the liability of or exonerating guarantors or sureties, or that may conflict with the terms of this Section 10.14; and

(vii)any and all notice of the acceptance of this guaranty, and any and all notice of the creation, renewal, modification, extension or accrual of the Guaranteed Obligations, or the reliance by Administrative Agent and Lenders upon this Guaranty, or the exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder. The Guaranteed Obligations shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted, incurred and permitted to exist in reliance upon this Guaranty. Each Subsidiary Guarantor waives promptness, diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment, notice of default, dishonor or nonpayment and all other notices to or upon Borrower, each Guarantor or any other Person with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations.

(g)Financial Condition of Borrower. No Subsidiary Guarantor shall have any right to require Administrative Agent or any Lender to obtain or disclose any information with respect to: the financial condition or character of Borrower or the ability of Borrower to pay and perform the Guaranteed Obligations; the Guaranteed Obligations; any collateral or other security for any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations; the existence or nonexistence of any other guarantees of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; any action or inaction on the part of Administrative Agent or any Lender or any other Person; or any other matter, fact or occurrence whatsoever. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby acknowledges that it has undertaken its own independent investigation of the financial condition of Borrower and all other matters pertaining to this Guaranty and further acknowledges that it is not relying in any manner upon any representation or statement of Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect thereto.

(h)Subrogation. Until the Guaranteed Obligations shall be satisfied in full and the Aggregate Commitments shall be terminated, each Subsidiary Guarantor shall not have, and shall not directly or indirectly exercise: (i) any rights that it may acquire by way of subrogation under this Section 10.14, by any payment hereunder or otherwise; (ii) any rights of contribution, indemnification, reimbursement or similar suretyship claims arising out of this Section 10.14; or (iii) any other right that it might otherwise have or acquire (in any way whatsoever) that could entitle it at any time to share or participate in any right, remedy or security of Administrative Agent or any Lender as against any Borrower or other Guarantors or any other Person, whether in connection with this Section 10.14, any of the other Revolving Credit Documents or otherwise. If any amount shall be paid to any Subsidiary Guarantor on account of the foregoing rights at any time when all the Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of Administrative Agent and Lenders and shall forthwith be paid to Administrative Agent to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Revolving Credit Documents.

(i)Subordination. All payments on account of all indebtedness, liabilities and other obligations of Borrower to any Subsidiary Guarantor or to any other Subordinated Guarantor, whether now existing or hereafter arising, and whether due or to become due, absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, determined or undetermined (the “Subsidiary Guarantor Subordinated Debt”) shall be

AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT (CCF OpCo, LLC)

Page 131


subject, subordinate and junior in right of payment and exercise of remedies, to the extent and in the manner set forth herein, to the prior payment in full in cash or cash equivalents of the Guaranteed Obligations. As long as any of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than unasserted contingent indemnification obligations) shall remain outstanding and unpaid, each Subsidiary Guarantor shall not accept or receive any payment or distribution by or on behalf of Borrower or any other Subsidiary Guarantor, directly or indirectly, or assets of Borrower or any other Subsidiary Guarantor, of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, including on account of the purchase, redemption or other acquisition of Subsidiary Guarantor Subordinated Debt, as a result of any collection, sale or other disposition of collateral, or by setoff, exchange or in any other manner, for or on account of the Subsidiary Guarantor Subordinated Debt (“Subsidiary Guarantor Subordinated Debt Payments”), except that, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any Subsidiary Guarantor shall be entitled to accept and receive payments on its Subsidiary Guarantor Subordinated Debt, in accordance with past business practices of such Subsidiary Guarantor and Borrower (or any other applicable Subsidiary Guarantor) and not in contravention of any Law or the terms of the Revolving Credit Documents.

If any Subsidiary Guarantor Subordinated Debt Payments shall be received in contravention of this Section 10.14, such Subsidiary Guarantor Subordinated Debt Payments shall be held in trust for the benefit of Administrative Agent and Lenders and shall be paid over or delivered to Administrative Agent for application to the payment in full in cash or cash equivalents of all Guaranteed Obligations remaining unpaid to the extent necessary to give effect to this Section 10.14 after giving effect to any concurrent payments or distributions to Administrative Agent and Lenders in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations.

(j)Continuing Guaranty. This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and agreement of subordination and shall continue in effect and be binding upon each Subsidiary Guarantor until termination of the Aggregate Commitments and payment and performance in full of the Guaranteed Obligations, including Guaranteed Obligations which may exist continuously or which may arise from time to time under successive transactions, and each Subsidiary Guarantor expressly acknowledges that this guaranty shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding that there may be periods in which no Guaranteed Obligations exist. This Guaranty shall continue in effect and be binding upon each Subsidiary Guarantor until actual receipt by Administrative Agent of written notice from such Subsidiary Guarantor of its intention to discontinue this Guaranty as to future transactions (which notice shall not be effective until noon on the day that is five (5) Business Days following such receipt); provided that no revocation or termination of this guaranty shall affect in any way any rights of Administrative Agent, or any Lender hereunder with respect to any Guaranteed Obligations arising or outstanding on the date of receipt of such notice, including any subsequent continuation, extension, or renewal thereof, or change in the terms or conditions thereof, or any Guaranteed Obligations made or created after such date to the extent made or created pursuant to a legally binding commitment of any Lender in existence as of the date of such revocation (collectively, “Existing Guaranteed Obligations”), and the sole effect of such notice shall be to exclude from this Guaranty Guaranteed Obligations thereafter arising which are unconnected to any Existing Guaranteed Obligations.

(k)Reinstatement. This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated and revived, as the case may be, if, for any reason, any payment of the Guaranteed Obligations by or on behalf of Borrower (or receipt of any proceeds of collateral) shall be rescinded, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, voided or otherwise required to be repaid to Borrower, its estate, trustee, receiver or any other Person (including under any Bankruptcy Law), or must otherwise be restored by Administrative Agent or any Lender, whether as a result of proceedings under any Bankruptcy Law or otherwise. All losses, damages, costs and expenses that Administrative Agent, or any Lender may suffer or incur as a result of any voided or otherwise set aside payments shall be specifically

ANNEX A TO FOURTH AMENDMENT TO SECOND AMENDMENT

AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT (CCF OpCo, LLC)

Page 132


covered by the indemnity in favor of Administrative Agent and Lender contained in Section 10.04.

(l)Substantial Benefits. The Revolving Credit Loans provided to or for the benefit of Borrower hereunder by Lenders have been and are to be contemporaneously used for the benefit of Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor. It is the position, intent and expectation of the parties that Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor have derived and will derive significant and substantial benefits from the Revolving Credit Loans to be made available by Lenders under the Revolving Credit Documents. Each Subsidiary Guarantor has received at least “reasonably equivalent value” (as such phrase is used in Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code, and in comparable provisions of other applicable Law) and more than sufficient consideration to support its obligations hereunder in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations. Immediately prior to and after and giving effect to the incurrence of each Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty, such Subsidiary Guarantor will be solvent.

(m)Knowing and Explicit Waivers. Each Subsidiary Guarantor acknowledges that it either has obtained the advice of legal counsel or has had the opportunity to obtain such advice in connection with the terms and provisions of this Section 10.14. Each Subsidiary Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that each of the waivers and consents set forth herein is made with full knowledge of its significance and consequences, that all such waivers and consents herein are explicit and knowing and that each Subsidiary Guarantor expects such waivers and consents to be fully enforceable.

If, while any Subsidiary Guarantor Subordinated Debt is outstanding, any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law is commenced by or against Borrower or its property, Administrative Agent, when so instructed by Required Lenders, is hereby irrevocably authorized and empowered (in the name of Lenders or in the name of any Subsidiary Guarantor or otherwise), but shall have no obligation, to demand, sue for, collect and receive every payment or distribution in respect of all Subsidiary Guarantor Subordinated Debt and give acquittances therefor and to file claims and proofs of claim and take such other action (including voting the Subsidiary Guarantor Subordinated Debt) as it may deem necessary or advisable for the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights or interests of Administrative Agent and Lenders; and each Subsidiary Guarantor shall promptly take such action as Administrative Agent (on instruction from Required Lenders) may reasonably request: (A) to collect the Subsidiary Guarantor Subordinated Debt for the account of the Lenders and to file appropriate claims or proofs of claim in respect of the Subsidiary Guarantor Subordinated Debt; (B) to execute and deliver to Administrative Agent such powers of attorney, assignments and other instruments as it may request to enable it to enforce any and all claims with respect to the Subsidiary Guarantor Subordinated Debt; and (C) to collect and receive any and all Subsidiary Guarantor Subordinated Debt Payments.

(n)Keepwell. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Credit Party to honor all of its obligations under this Section 10.14 or any other Guaranty now or hereafter executed by such Qualified ECP Guarantor in respect of Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 10.14 or such other Guaranty for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 10.14, or otherwise under a Guaranty, voidable under applicable Law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section 10.14, or otherwise under a Guaranty, shall remain in full force and effect, until all of the Obligations shall have been paid in full and the Lenders' commitments to make Revolving Credit Loans and/or extend credit to or for the benefit of Borrower shall have terminated or expired. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 10.14(n) constitute, and this Section 10.14(n) shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Credit Party for all purposes of

(b)Payments Held in Trust. If, during the continuance of a Subordination Event to the extent provided in Section 2.09(c), any payment, distribution, security or proceeds thereof be received by Class B Lender upon or with respect to any Class B Subordinated Debt prior to the satisfaction of all related Class A Senior Debt, Class B Lender shall promptly deliver the same to Class A Lender in the form received (except for endorsement or assignment by Class B Lender where required by the payee), for application on any such Class A Senior Debt, and, until so delivered, the same shall be held in trust by Class B Lender as the property of Class A Lender.

Upon any distribution of the assets of BP Seller by reason or reorganization, liquidation, dissolution, bankruptcy, receivership or assignment for the benefit of creditors, Class A Lender shall be entitled to receive payment in full of all related Class A Senior Debt prior to the payment of all or any part of any related Class B Subordinated Debt to the extent provided in Section 2.09(c). To enable each Class A Lender to give effect to the right set forth in this Section 10.22, any Class A Lender may demand that the related Class B Lender make and present appropriate proofs of claim against BP Seller with respect to the related Class B Subordinated Debt to the extent provided in Section 2.09(c). If such Class B Lender has not made and presented appropriate proofs of claim within thirty (30) days following demand by such Class A Lender, then such Class A Lender shall hereby be
