Background
 
1. Seller is engaged in the business of purchasing receivables arising in
revolving credit card accounts originated by Crosstown Traders, Inc., a Delaware
corporation, and its subsidiaries.
 
2. Seller has, and expects to have, Pool Receivables in which Seller intends to
sell an undivided interest. Seller has requested Purchaser, and Purchaser has
agreed, subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, to
purchase such undivided interest, referred to herein as the Asset Interest, from
Seller from time to time during the term of this Agreement (the “Transaction”).
 
3. Seller and Purchaser desire that, subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, certain of the daily Collections in respect of the Asset Interest be
reinvested in Pool Receivables, which reinvestment shall constitute part of the
Asset Interest.
 
4. Spirit has been requested, and is willing, to act as the Servicer of the Pool
Receivables in accordance with the terms hereof.
 
5. Barclays has been requested, and is willing, to act as the Administrator.
 
6. To effect the Transaction, Seller, Servicer, Purchaser and Administrator
initially entered into the Receivables Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 18,
2005 (the “Prior RPA”).
 
7. This Agreement amends and restates the Prior RPA in its entirety to recognize
the addition of each of the Sub-Originators as a Transferring Party.
 
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements
herein contained, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby,
agree as follows:
 

 
ARTICLE I  
 
PURCHASES AND REINVESTMENTS
 
SECTION 1.01  Commitments to Purchase; Limits on Purchaser’s Obligations. Upon
the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, from time to time
prior to the Termination Date, Seller may request that Purchaser purchase from
Seller ownership interests in the Pool Assets (each being a “Purchase”) and
Purchaser shall make such Purchase; provided that no Purchase shall be made by
Purchaser to the extent that, after giving effect thereto, the then Senior
Investor Balance would exceed the lesser of (a) the Facility Limit and (b) the
Benchmark Amount; and provided further that each Purchase made pursuant to this
Section 1.01 shall have a Purchase Price of at least $500,000 and shall be in
integral multiples of $250,000.
 
SECTION 1.02  Purchase Procedures; Assignment of Purchaser’s Interests.
 
(a)  Notice of Purchase. Each Purchase from Seller by Purchaser shall be made on
notice from Seller to the Administrator received by the Administrator not later
than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day before the date
of such proposed Purchase. Each such notice of a proposed Purchase shall specify
the desired amount and date of such Purchase. The “Purchase Price” for each
Purchase shall be the lesser of (i) the amount requested by Seller pursuant to
this Section 1.02(a) and (ii) the amount permitted pursuant to Section 1.01.
 
(b)  Funding of Purchase. On the date of each Purchase, Purchaser shall, upon
satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Article V, make available
to the Administrator at the Administrator’s Office (or to such account as
designated by the Administrator) the amount of its Purchase in same day funds,
and after receipt by the Administrator of such funds, the Administrator will (a)
apply such funds to make a deposit to the Cash Collateral Account to the extent
necessary to cause the amount on deposit therein to equal or exceed the Required
Cash Collateral Amount, and (b) make the remaining portion of such funds
immediately available to Seller at such office or to such account as Seller
shall designate in writing to the Administrator on or prior to the date hereof
(or such other office or account as Seller shall designate from time to time).
 
(c)  Assignment of Asset Interest. Seller hereby sells, assigns and transfers to
Purchaser, effective on and as of the date of each Purchase by the Purchaser
hereunder, the corresponding undivided ownership interest in the Pool Assets.
 
SECTION 1.03  Reinvestments of Certain Collections; Payment of Remaining
Collections. (a) On the close of business on each Business Day during the period
from the date hereof to the Final Payout Date, Servicer shall, out of all
Collections received on such day:
 
(i)  determine the portion of such Collections attributable on such day to the
Asset Interest by multiplying (x) the amount of such Collections times (y) the
Asset Interest at such time;
 
(ii)  out of the portion of such Collections allocated to the Asset Interest
pursuant to clause (i), set aside and deposit into the Collection Account within
two Business Days an amount at least equal to the sum of the estimated amount of
Earned Discount accrued in respect of the Senior Investor Balance (based on rate
information provided by the Administrator pursuant to Section 2.03), all other
amounts due to Purchaser or the Administrator hereunder and the Servicer’s Fee
(in each case, accrued through such day) and an amount equal to any Cash
Collateral Shortfall and any Reserve Account Shortfall not so previously set
aside;
 
(iii)  apply the Collections allocated to the Asset Interest pursuant to clause
(i) and not required to be set aside pursuant to clause (ii) to the purchase
from Seller of ownership interests in Pool Assets (each such purchase being a
“Reinvestment”); provided that (A) if the then Senior Investor Balance would
exceed the Benchmark Amount, then the Servicer shall not reinvest, but shall set
aside and deposit into the Collection Account within two Business Days, a
portion of such Collections which, together with other Collections previously
set aside and then so held in the Collection Account, shall equal the amount
necessary to reduce the Senior Investor Balance to the Benchmark Amount; (B) if
the conditions precedent to Reinvestment in Section 5.02 are not satisfied then
Servicer shall not reinvest, but shall set aside and hold for the benefit of
Purchaser, any of such remaining Collections, which Collections shall be
deposited into the Collection Account within two Business Days; and (C) if the
Seller shall have requested a reduction in the Senior Investor Balance, then,
during the times specified in Section 3.02(b)(ii), Servicer shall not reinvest,
but shall set aside and hold for the benefit of Purchaser, a portion of such
Collections until the amount thereof not so reinvested shall equal the amount of
such reduction; and
 
(iv)  pay to Seller (A) the portion of such Collections not allocated to the
Asset Interest pursuant to clause (i) and (B) the Collections applied to
Reinvestment pursuant to clause (iii).
 
(b)  Unreinvested Collections. Servicer shall set aside in the Collection
Account and hold in trust for the benefit of Purchaser all Collections which
pursuant to clause (iii) of Section 1.03(a), may not be reinvested in Pool
Assets. If, prior to the date when such Collections are required to be paid to
the Administrator for the benefit of Purchaser pursuant to Section 3.01, the
amount of Collections so set aside exceeds the amount, if any, necessary to
reduce the Senior Investor Balance to the Discounted Principal Receivables
Balance, and the conditions precedent to Reinvestment set forth in Section 5.02
are satisfied, then the Servicer shall apply such Collections (or, if less, a
portion of such Collections equal to the amount of such excess) to the making of
a Reinvestment.
 
SECTION 1.04  Asset Interest. (a) Components of Asset Interest. On any date the
Asset Interest will represent Purchaser’s combined undivided percentage
ownership interest in (i) all then outstanding Pool Receivables, (ii) related
Contracts, (iii) all Related Security with respect to such Pool Receivables,
(iv) all Collections with respect thereto, (v) all rights of Seller (directly or
as assignee of Transferor) under the First Tier Agreement and the Second Tier
Agreement, (vi) all books and records evidencing or related to the foregoing,
and (vii) all proceeds of the foregoing (collectively, the “Pool Assets”);
provided, that, the Pool Assets shall not include any interests in any returned,
repossessed or foreclosed goods and/or merchandise the sale of which gave rise
to a Receivable.
 
(b)  Computation of Asset Interest. On any date, the Asset Interest shall be
equal to a fraction (expressed as a percentage), the numerator of which is the
Senior Investor Balance and the denominator of which is the Benchmark Amount,
each as of such day; provided, however, that during the Liquidation Period, the
Asset Interest shall be the Asset Interest computed as of the day immediately
preceding the commencement of the Liquidation Period; provided, further, that
the Asset Interest shall not exceed 100%.
 
(c)  Frequency of Computation. The Asset Interest shall be computed as of the
close of business on each Business Day (after giving effect to Section 1.03) and
shall be reported as of the end of the Due Period in the Information Package
delivered on each Report Date.
 
SECTION 1.05  Reduction of Facility Limit; Termination. Upon three Business
Days’ prior written notice to the Administrator, the Seller may reduce the
Facility Limit, or terminate this Agreement, provided that, after giving effect
thereto, the Facility Limit is not less than the Senior Investor Balance. Any
such reduction or termination shall be permanent.
 
ARTICLE II  
 
COMPUTATIONAL RULES
 
SECTION 2.01  Computation of Senior Investor Balance. In making any
determination of the Senior Investor Balance, the following rules shall apply:
 
(a)  Senior Investor Balance shall not be considered reduced by any allocation,
setting aside or distribution of any portion of Collections unless such
Collections shall have been actually delivered to the Administrator pursuant
hereto; and
 
(b)  Senior Investor Balance shall not be considered reduced by any distribution
of any portion of Collections if at any time such distribution is rescinded or
otherwise returned for any reason.
 
SECTION 2.02  Computation of Earned Discount. In making any determination of
Earned Discount, the following rules shall apply:
 
(a)  the Administrator shall determine the Earned Discount accruing with respect
to the Senior Investor Balance, in accordance with the definition of Earned
Discount;
 
(b)  no provision of this Agreement shall require the payment or permit the
collection of Earned Discount in excess of the maximum permitted by applicable
law; and
 
(c)  Earned Discount shall not be considered paid by any distribution if at any
time such distribution is rescinded or otherwise returned for any reason.
 
SECTION 2.03  Estimates of Earned Discount Rate, Fees, etc. For purposes of
determining the amounts required to be set aside by Servicer pursuant to Section
1.03, the Administrator shall notify Servicer from time to time of the Earned
Discount Rate applicable to the Senior Investor Balance and the rates at which
fees and other amounts are accruing hereunder. It is understood and agreed that
(i) the Earned Discount Rate may change from time to time, (ii) certain rate
information provided by the Administrator to Servicer shall be based upon the
Administrator’s good faith estimate, (iii) the amount of Earned Discount
actually accrued with respect to any Settlement Period may exceed, or be less
than, the amount set aside with respect thereto by Servicer, and (iv) the amount
of fees or other payables accrued hereunder with respect to any Settlement
Period may exceed, or be less than, the amount set aside with respect thereto by
Servicer. Failure to set aside any amount so accrued shall not relieve Servicer
of its obligation to remit Collections to the Administrator with respect to such
accrued amount, as and to the extent provided in Section 3.01.
 
ARTICLE III  
 
SETTLEMENTS
 
SECTION 3.01  Settlement Procedures.
 
The parties hereto will take the following actions with respect to each
Settlement Period:
 
(a)  Information Package. On or before the Report Date preceding each Settlement
Date, Servicer shall deliver to the Administrator an electronic mail containing
such information as shall be agreed in writing by Servicer and the Administrator
prior to the Initial Funding Date (each, an “Information Package”).
 
(b)  Earned Discount; Other Amounts Due. (i) On the tenth day before each
Settlement Date, the Administrator shall notify Servicer of (x) the amount of
Earned Discount that will have accrued in respect of the Senior Investor Balance
during such Settlement Period (the amount of such Earned Discount shall be
calculated using an estimate of the CP Rate, if necessary, for the remaining
days in such Settlement Period; provided that each such estimated amount shall
be adjusted as provided in the following paragraph (ii)), and (y) all fees and
other amounts accrued and payable by Seller under this Agreement (other than the
Senior Investor Balance).
 
(ii)  If the Administrator shall have notified Servicer of the estimated amount
of Earned Discount as provided in clause (i) above with respect to a Settlement
Period and, on or prior to the applicable Settlement Date, the Administrator
shall have determined that such estimate is inaccurate, the Administrator shall
notify Servicer as soon as reasonably practicable and the Earned Discount for
the subsequent Settlement Period shall be adjusted as follows. If the actual
Earned Discount exceeds the estimated amount thereof, such excess shall be added
to the Earned Discount for the subsequent Settlement Period (and in any event
paid to the Administrator by Seller on or prior to the Final Payout Date). If
the actual Earned Discount is less than the estimated amount thereof, the
difference shall be subtracted from the Earned Discount for the subsequent
Settlement Period (and in any event credited to amounts owed by Seller to the
Administrator by Seller on the Final Payout Date). Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any reconciliation in respect of the final Settlement Period as a
consequence of any estimate described above shall be effected on the final
Settlement Date.
 
      (c)  Settlement Date Procedure - Reinvestment Period. On the twentieth
(20th) day of each calendar month (commencing in August, 2005), or if such day
is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day (each, a “Settlement
Date”) prior to the Termination Date, the Servicer shall transfer from the
Collection Account all Available Funds, and shall apply such amount in the
following order:
 
(1)  to the Administrator on behalf of the Purchaser, an amount equal to the (i)
Earned Discount accrued during such Settlement Period, plus any previously
accrued Earned Discount not paid on a prior Settlement Date, and (ii) Program
Fees accrued during such Settlement Period, plus any previously accrued Program
Fees and not paid on a prior Settlement Date;
 
(2)  to the Administrator on behalf of the Purchaser, an amount equal to the
Unused Program Fees accrued during such Settlement Period, plus any previously
accrued Unused Program Fees not paid on a prior Settlement Date;
 
(3)  to the Administrator, an amount equal to the amount, if any, necessary to
reduce the Senior Investor Balance to the Benchmark Amount (calculated after
giving effect to any distribution to be made from the Cash Collateral Account on
such day) and to reduce the Senior Investor Balance in accordance with Section
3.02(b), which amount shall be distributed by the Administrator to the Purchaser
for application to the Senior Investor Balance;
 
(4)  to the Servicer, an amount equal to the Servicer’s Fee for such preceding
Due Period, plus any previously accrued and unpaid Servicer’s Fee for the
payment of the accrued and unpaid Servicer’s Fees;
 
(5)  to the Reserve Account, to the extent necessary to cause funds on deposit
therein to equal the Required Reserve Account Amount;
 
(6)  to the Cash Collateral Account, to the extent necessary to cause funds on
deposit therein to equal (or, if Seller shall so direct, to exceed) the Required
Cash Collateral Amount; and
 
(7)  to the Administrator, all other amounts then due under this Agreement to
the Administrator, the Purchaser, the Affected Parties or the Indemnified
Parties;
 
(8)  to, or at the direction of, Seller any remaining amounts.
 
(d)  Settlement Date Procedure - Liquidation Period. On each Settlement Date
during the Liquidation Period, the Servicer shall transfer from the Collection
Account all Available Funds, and shall apply such amount in the following order:
 
(1)  to the Administrator on behalf of the Purchaser, an amount equal to the (i)
Earned Discount accrued during such Settlement Period, plus any previously
accrued Earned Discount not paid on a prior Settlement Date, and (ii) Program
Fees accrued during such Settlement Period, plus any previously accrued Program
Fees and not paid on a prior Settlement Date;
 
(2)  to the Administrator on behalf of the Purchaser, an amount equal to the
Unused Program Fees accrued during such Settlement Period, plus any previously
accrued Unused Program Fees not paid on a prior Settlement Date;
 
(3)  to the Administrator, an amount equal to any remaining Purchaser’s Share of
Collections until the Senior Investor Balance is reduced to zero, which amount
shall be distributed by the Administrator to the Purchaser for application to
the Senior Investor Balance;
 
(4)  to the Servicer, an amount equal to the Servicer’s Fee for such preceding
Due Period, plus any previously accrued and unpaid Servicer’s Fee for the
payment of the accrued and unpaid Servicer’s Fees;
 
(5)  to the Administrator, all other amounts then due under this Agreement to
the Administrator, the Purchaser, the Affected Parties or the Indemnified
Parties; and
 
(6)  to, or at the direction of, Seller any remaining amounts.
 
(e)  Non-Distribution of Servicer’s Fee. Unless the Administrator gives written
notice to the contrary to Servicer (which notice may be given at any time), from
and after the date on which the amounts (if any) set aside pursuant to Section
1.03 for any Settlement Period in respect of payments required to be made prior
to the payment of the Servicer’s Fee on the related Settlement Date are
sufficient to make such payments, the amounts (if any) set aside pursuant to
Section 1.03 in respect of the Servicer’s Fee may be paid to Servicer, in which
case no distribution shall be made in respect of Servicer’s Fee pursuant to
clause (c) or (d) above.
 
(f)  Cap Agreements.
 
(i)  Prior to the Initial Funding Date, Seller shall obtain a Cap Agreement in
substantially the form of Exhibit B. The Cap Agreement shall entitle the Seller
to receive monthly the Cap Payment, if any, as set forth in the Cap Agreement.
Payments received by Seller under the Cap Agreement shall be deposited in the
Collection Account within two Business Days of such receipt (or, if earlier, on
the related Settlement Date), except that any payments received under a Cap
Agreement as a result of the early termination thereof may instead be applied by
Seller to the acquisition of a Replacement Interest Rate Cap.
 
(ii)  The Administrator hereby appoints the Servicer to act as calculation agent
under the Cap Agreements and the Servicer accepts such appointment.
 

 
SECTION 3.02  Deemed Collections; Reduction of Senior Investor Balance, Etc.
 
(a)  Deemed Collections. If on any day
 
(i)  any Pool Receivable is
 
(A)  reduced as a result of any defective, rejected or returned merchandise or
services, any cash discount, or any incorrect billing or other adjustment by
Seller or any Affiliate of Seller,
 
(B)  reduced or canceled as a result of a setoff in respect of any claim by the
Obligor thereof against Seller or any Affiliate of Seller or any other Person
(whether such claim arises out of the same or a related or an unrelated
transaction), or
 
(C)  reduced on account of the obligation of Seller to pay to the related
Obligor any rebate or refund; or
 
(ii)  any of the representations or warranties of Seller set forth in Section
6.01(j) were not true when made with respect to any Pool Receivable, or any of
the representations or warranties of Seller set forth in Section 6.01(j) are no
longer true with respect to any Pool Receivable,
 
then, on such day, Seller shall be deemed to have received a Collection of such
Pool Receivable
 
(I) in the case of clause (i) above, in the amount of such reduction or
cancellation; and
 
(II) in the case of clause (ii) above, in the outstanding amount of such Pool
Receivable.
 
If Seller shall have deposited into the Collection Account the full outstanding
amount of any Pool Receivable pursuant to this Section 3.2(a), Purchaser and the
Administrator shall reconvey any interest they have in such Pool Receivable, and
the Contracts and Related Security with respect thereto, to Seller, without
representation or warranty, but free and clear of all liens created by Purchaser
and the Administrator. Any such reconveyed Receivable (and the Contracts and
Related Security with respect thereto) shall be released from the ownership and
security interests created under this Agreement and shall no longer be
considered Pool Assets. It is understood and agreed that Seller may reconvey any
such released Receivables, Contracts and Related Securities to Transferor, and
Transferor may reconvey such assets to Parent Originator, in accordance with the
terms of the Second Tier Agreement and the First Tier Agreement. At the expense
of Seller, the Administrator and Purchaser shall execute such instruments and
documents as Seller shall reasonably request to evidence such release, and,
subject to giving at least five Business Days prior written notice to the
Administrator, Seller is authorized to file amendments to the financing
statements filed against the Transferring Parties in connection with the
Transaction Documents to evidence such release.
 
(b)  Seller’s Optional Reduction of Senior Investor Balance. Seller may at any
time elect to reduce the Senior Investor Balance as follows:
 
(i)  Seller shall give the Administrator at least three Business Days’ prior
written notice of such reduction (including the amount of such proposed
reduction and the proposed date on which such reduction will commence),
 
(ii)  on the proposed date of commencement of such reduction and on each day
thereafter, Servicer shall refrain from reinvesting Collections pursuant to
Section 1.03 until the amount thereof not so reinvested shall equal the amount
of such reduction, and
 
(iii)  Servicer shall hold such Collections in trust for Purchaser, pending
payment to the Administrator, as provided in Section 3.01;
 
provided that,
 
(A)  the amount of any such reduction shall be not less than $100,000 and the
Senior Investor Balance after giving effect to such reduction shall be not less
than $100,000 (unless such reduction reduces Senior Investor Balance to zero),
and
 
(B)  Seller shall use reasonable efforts to attempt to choose a reduction
amount, and the date of commencement thereof, so that such reduction shall
commence and conclude in the same Settlement Period to the extent possible.
 
SECTION 3.03  Payments and Computations, Etc.
 
(a)  Payments. All amounts to be paid or deposited by Seller or Servicer to the
Administrator or any other Person hereunder (other than amounts payable under
Section 4.02) shall be paid or deposited in accordance with the terms hereof no
later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the day when due in lawful money
of the United States of America in same day funds to the Administrator at the
bank account listed on Schedule B, for credit to such account as the
Administrator shall specify.
 
(b)  Method of Computation. All computations of interest, Earned Discount, any
fees payable under Sections 4.01(a) and (b) and any other fees payable by Seller
to Purchaser or the Administrator in connection with Purchases or the Asset
Interest hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the
actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day)
elapsed.
 
SECTION 3.04  Treatment of Collections and Deemed Collections. Seller shall
deliver to Servicer all Collections deemed received by Seller pursuant to
Section 3.02(a) during any Due Period by no later than the second Business Day
preceding the related Settlement Date, and Servicer shall deposit any deemed
Collections to the Collection Account within two Business Days of receipt
thereof. So long as Seller shall hold any Collections or deemed Collections
required to be paid to Servicer or the Administrator, it shall hold such
Collections in trust and shall clearly mark its records to reflect such trust;
provided that Seller shall not be required to hold such Collections in a
separate deposit account containing only such Collections.
 
SECTION 3.05  Collection Account. Seller shall establish an Eligible Account in
the name of the Seller, which is designated as the “Collection Account”. The
Collection Account shall be maintained at the Transaction Account Bank subject
to the terms of the Account Control Agreement and Section 3.08.
 
SECTION 3.06  Reserve Account.
 
(a)  Seller shall establish an Eligible Account in the name of the Seller until
the Senior Investor Balance is reduced to zero, which is designated as the
“Reserve Account”. The Reserve Account shall be maintained at the Transaction
Account Bank subject to the terms of the Account Control Agreement and Section
3.08.
 
(b)  If on any Settlement Date a Shortfall shall exist, the Administrator shall
withdraw from the Reserve Account an amount equal to the lesser of such
Shortfall or the amount on deposit in the Reserve Account, and apply such funds
in the same manner as Collections pursuant to Section 3.01(c) or 3.01(d), as
applicable.
 
(c)  If on any Settlement Date or on the Final Payout Date, as applicable, after
giving effect to all other withdrawals from and payments to the Reserve Account,
the funds on deposit in the Reserve Account (exclusive of earnings on the
investment of such funds) shall exceed the Required Reserve Account Amount, the
Servicer (with prior written notice to the Administrator) shall withdraw such
excess and pay such excess to, or at the direction of, Seller.
 
SECTION 3.07  Cash Collateral Account.
 
(a)  Seller shall establish an Eligible Account in the name of the Seller until
the Senior Investor Balance is reduced to zero, which is designated as the “Cash
Collateral Account”. The Cash Collateral Account shall be maintained at the
Transaction Account Bank subject to the terms of the Account Control Agreement
and Section 3.08.
 
(b)  If on any Settlement Date a Shortfall shall remain after giving effect to
any application of funds from the Reserve Account pursuant to Section 3.06, the
Administrator shall withdraw from the Cash Collateral Account an amount equal to
the lesser of such Shortfall or the amount on deposit in the Cash Collateral
Account, and apply such funds in the same manner as Collections pursuant to
Section 3.01(c) or 3.01(d), as applicable.
 
(c)  If on any Settlement Date or on the Final Payout Date, as applicable, after
giving effect to all other withdrawals from and payable to the Collection
Account, the funds on deposit in the Cash Collateral Account (exclusive of
earnings on the investment of such funds) shall exceed the Required Cash
Collateral Amounts and Seller shall request Servicer to do so, the Servicer
(with prior written notice to the Administrator) shall withdraw such excess and
pay such excess to, or at the direction of, Seller.
 
SECTION 3.08  Accounts Generally.
 
(a)  Funds on deposit in each Transaction Account shall be invested by the
Transaction Account Bank in Permitted Investments at the direction of Seller.
Such investments made at any time will mature so that funds will be available
for withdrawal no later than the following Settlement Date. All earnings on such
investment during any such Settlement Period shall be deemed to be Available
Funds on the related Settlement Date.
 
(b)  If any Transaction Account shall cease to be an Eligible Account, the
Administrator, until the Senior Investor Balance has been reduced to zero,
shall, as necessary, cause each such account to be moved to an institution at
which it shall be an Eligible Account.
 
(c)  The Administrator shall have exclusive control of the Transaction Accounts.
To the extent that a Transaction Account constitutes a “securities account” as
defined in Section 8-501(a) of the UCC, the Transaction Account Bank shall act
as securities intermediary and will treat the Administrator as entitled to
exercise the rights that comprise such property, including all security
entitlements, securities, financial assets, investment property and instruments
(each as defined in the UCC) attributable to such Transaction Account. In the
event that a Transaction Account is not considered to be a “securities account”
under applicable law, such Transaction Account shall be deemed to be a “deposit
account” (as defined in the UCC) to the extent a security interest can be
granted and perfected under the UCC in such Transaction Account as a deposit
account, and the Transaction Account Bank shall maintain such account not as a
securities intermediary but as a “bank” (as defined in the UCC). The
Administrator shall be deemed to be the customer of the Transaction Account Bank
for purposes of such Transaction Account and as such shall be entitled to all
rights that customers of banks have under applicable law with respect to deposit
accounts, including the right to withdraw funds from, or close, such Transaction
Account (which rights shall be exercised in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement). Unless a Replacement Event shall take place and be continuing, the
Administrator shall instruct the Transaction Account Bank to allow Servicer
access to funds in the Transaction Accounts in order to effect the application
of funds described in (and subject to the terms of) this Agreement and the other
Transaction Documents.

obligations hereunder or arising in connection herewith to a level below that
which such Affected Party could otherwise have achieved but for Regulation D or
such Regulatory Change,
 
then within thirty days after demand by such Affected Party (which demand shall
be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis of such demand), Seller
shall pay directly to such Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as
will compensate such Affected Party for such additional or increased cost or
such reduction. This Section 4.02(a) shall not apply to taxes.
 
(b)  Each Affected Party will promptly notify Seller and the Administrator of
any event of which it has knowledge which will entitle such Affected Party to
compensation pursuant to this Section 4.02; provided, however, no failure to
give or delay in giving such notification shall adversely affect the rights of
any Affected Party to such compensation.
 
(c)  In determining any amount provided for or referred to in this Section 4.02,
an Affected Party may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods that
it (in its sole discretion) shall deem applicable. Any Affected Party when
making a claim under this Section 4.02 shall submit to Seller a statement as to
such increased cost or reduced return (including calculation thereof in
reasonable detail), which statement shall, in the absence of demonstrable error,
be conclusive and binding upon Seller.
 
(d)  Purchaser agrees that it shall use its reasonable best efforts to take any
action that will avoid the need to pay, or reduce the amount of, any increased
amounts referred to in paragraph (a); provided that Purchaser shall not be
obligated to take any actions that would, in the reasonable opinion of
Purchaser, be disadvantageous to Purchaser.
 
(e)  Subject to Section 4.02(g), any and all payments made under this Agreement
shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction for, any and all present
or future Taxes. If any amount of Taxes shall be required by law to be deducted
from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Foreign assignee or
participant of Purchaser, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be
necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions
applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 4.02(e)), such Foreign
assignee or participant of Purchaser, as the case may be, receives an amount
equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii)
Seller shall make such deductions and (iii) Seller shall pay the full amount
deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance
with applicable law.
 
(f)  Each Foreign assignee or participant of Purchaser, on or prior to the date
pursuant to which it becomes an assignee or participant of Purchaser, and from
time to time thereafter if requested in writing by Seller (unless such Foreign
assignee or participant of Purchaser can no longer lawfully do so due to a
change in law subsequent to the date it became an assignee or participant of
Purchaser hereunder), shall provide Seller with Internal Revenue Service Form
W-8BEN or W-8ECI, as appropriate, or any successor form prescribed by the
Internal Revenue Service, certifying that such Foreign assignee or participant
of Purchaser is entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty to which the
United States is a party which reduces the rate of withholding tax on payments
of interest to zero or certifying that the income receivable pursuant to this
Agreement is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in
the United States.
 
(g)  For any period with respect to which a Foreign assignee or participant of
Purchaser has failed to provide the Seller with the appropriate form described
in Section 4.02(f) (other than if such failure is due to a change in law
occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be
provided), such Foreign assignee or participant of Purchaser shall not be
entitled to payments of additional amounts under Section 4.02(e).
 
SECTION 4.03  Funding Losses. In the event that the Purchaser or any Liquidity
Bank shall incur any loss or expense (including any loss or expense incurred by
reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by
the Purchaser or such Liquidity Bank to make any Purchase or Liquidity Funding
or maintain any Purchase or Liquidity Funding) as a result of (i) any settlement
with respect to any portion of the Senior Investor Balance being made on any day
other than a Settlement Date, or (ii) any Purchase not being made in accordance
with a request therefore under Section 1.02 (other than by reason of (a) a
default by the Purchaser or such Liquidity Bank, (b) Purchaser’s failure to make
available to the Administrator the required funds as set forth in Section
1.02(b) or (c) the Administrator’s failure to make available the required funds
to Seller as set forth in Section 1.02(b)), then, upon written notice from the
Administrator to Seller and Servicer, Seller shall pay to Servicer, and Servicer
shall pay to the Administrator for the account of the Purchaser or such
Liquidity Bank, the amount of such loss or expense. Such written notice (which
shall include calculations in reasonable detail) shall, in the absence of
manifest error, be conclusive and binding upon the Seller and Servicer.

Until the Administrator gives to Seller and to Servicer a Successor Notice (as
defined in Section 8.01(b)), Spirit of America, Inc. is hereby designated as,
and hereby agrees to perform the duties and obligations of, Servicer pursuant to
the terms hereof.

the Administrator (or its designee) shall assume each and all of Seller’s
obligations to service and administer such Receivables, on the terms and subject
to the conditions herein set forth, and Servicer shall use its best efforts to
assist the Administrator (or its designee) in assuming such obligations. The

occurrence of a Replacement Event, in which case such Successor Notice may be
given at any time in the Administrator’s discretion. If Servicer disputes the
occurrence of a Replacement Event, Servicer may take appropriate action to
resolve such dispute; provided that Servicer must terminate its activities
hereunder as Servicer and allow the newly designated Servicer to perform such
activities in accordance with the Replacement Servicer Plan on the date provided
by the Administrator as described above, notwithstanding the commencement or

request, Servicer shall be reinstated as Servicer.

calendar year, commencing May 31, 2006, Servicer shall cause a firm of

agents (other than Originators), and the accountants may qualify the report in a
manner that is typical for reports of this type.

documents, instruments and other records (including, without limitation,

reasonably necessary or desirable to service such Pool Receivables, and make the
same available to the Administrator at a place selected by the Administrator and

all steps in Seller’s name and on behalf of Seller and Purchaser which are
reasonably necessary or desirable, in the determination of the Administrator, to
collect all amounts due under any and all Pool Receivables, including, without
limitation, endorsing Seller’s name on checks and other instruments representing

request in order to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the Purchases
hereunder and the resulting Asset Interest, or to enable Purchaser or the
Administrator or its designee to exercise or enforce any of their respective
rights hereunder or under any Transaction Document. Without limiting the

notices, as may be necessary or appropriate.

Servicer shall establish, or permit to be established, any other Lockbox Account
unless the related account bank shall have entered into a Lockbox Agreement with
Seller, Servicer and the Administrator.
 
(b)  Servicer shall direct all Obligors to make payments in respect of the
Receivables to a Lockbox Account described in the notice given to the
Administrator pursuant to clause (a) above or to another Lockbox Account as to

agree, for the benefit of the Bank Agent, that the Bank Agent may have
reasonable access to any books and records of the Transferring Parties, and use
any equipment (including data processing equipment) of the Transferring Parties,
that may be in the possession or control of the Administrative Agent and the
Purchaser during reasonable business hours and at its own expense, but without
any obligation to pay rent or compensation to the Transferring Parties, the
Administrative Agent or the Purchaser, to the extent necessary to service and
collect upon the collateral on which the Bank Agent has a lien.

THE ADMINISTRATOR
 
SECTION 11.01  Authorization and Action. Purchaser hereby irrevocably appoints,
designates and authorizes the Administrator to take such action as agent on its
behalf under the provisions of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document
and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated
to the Administrator by the terms of this Agreement or any other Transaction
Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The
Administrator shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those
expressly set forth herein or in any other Transaction Document, or any
fiduciary relationship with the Purchaser, and no implied covenants, functions,
responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities on the part of the
Administrator shall be read into this Agreement or any other Transaction
Document or otherwise exist for the Administrator. In performing its functions
and duties hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents, (i) the

Parties and (ii) the Administrator shall not be deemed to have assumed any
obligation or relationship of trust or agency with or for any Transferring Party
or the Servicer or any of such parties’ successors or assigns. The Administrator
shall not be required to take any action that exposes the Administrator to
personal liability or that is contrary to this Agreement, any other Transaction
Document or applicable law. The appointment and authority of the Administrator
hereunder shall terminate immediately following the Final Payout Date.
 
SECTION 11.02  Administrator’s Reliance, Etc. The Administrator and its
directors, officers, agents or employees shall not be (i) liable to Purchaser
for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection
with the Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, the servicing,
administering or collecting of Pool Receivables as Servicer pursuant to Section
8.01 (except for its or their own gross negligence, breach of contract or
willful misconduct) or (ii) responsible in any manner to the Purchaser for any
recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Transferring
Party or the Servicer contained in this Agreement, any other Transaction
Document or any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or
provided for in, or received under or in connection with, this Agreement, or any
other Transaction Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness,
genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement, or any other
Transaction Document or any other document furnished in connection herewith or
therewith, or for any failure of any Transferring Party or the Servicer to
perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder, or for the perfection,
priority, condition, value or sufficiency of any collateral pledged in
connection herewith. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Administrator: (a) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for
Seller), independent certified public accountants and other experts selected by
it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good
faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or
experts; (b) makes no warranty or representation to Purchaser or any other
holder of any interest in Pool Receivables and shall not be responsible to
Purchaser or any such other holder for any statements, warranties or
representations made in or in connection with any Transaction Document; (c)

observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of any Transaction
Document on the part of Seller or to inspect the property (including the books
and records) of Seller; (d) shall not be responsible to Purchaser or any other
holder of any interest in Pool Receivables for the due execution, legality,
validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of any Transaction
Document; and (e) shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Unmatured
Liquidation Event or Liquidation Event unless the Administrator has received
notice from any Transferring Party, the Servicer or the Purchaser.
 
SECTION 11.03  Barclays and Affiliates. Barclays and any of its Affiliates may
generally engage in any kind of business with Seller or any Obligor, any of
their respective Affiliates and any Person who may do business with or own
securities of Seller or any Obligor or any of their respective Affiliates, all
as if Barclays were not the Administrator and without any duty to account
therefor to Purchaser or any other holder of an interest in Pool Receivables.
 
SECTION 11.04  Reliance by Administrator. The Administrator shall in all cases
be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any document
or conversation reasonably believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have
been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and
statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to Seller
(it being understood that counsel to the Seller has no duty to or
client-relationship with the Administrator)), independent accountants and other
experts selected by the Administrator. The Administrator shall in all cases be
fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement
or any other Transaction Document unless it shall first receive such advice or
concurrence of the Purchaser as it deems appropriate and it shall first be
indemnified to its satisfaction, provided that unless and until the
Administrator shall have received such advice, or unless the Purchaser shall
have directed the Administrator to take or refrain from taking any action, the
Administrator may take or refrain from taking any action, as the Administrator
shall deem advisable and in the best interest of the Purchaser. The
Administrator shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining
from acting, in accordance with a request of the Purchaser and such request and
any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon the
Purchaser.
 
SECTION 11.05  Non-Reliance. The Purchaser expressly acknowledges that none of
the Administrator or any of its respective officers, directors, employees,
agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates has made any representations or
warranties to it and that no act by the Administrator hereafter taken,
including, without limitation, any review of the affairs of any Transferring
Party or the Servicer, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or
warranty by the Administrator. The Purchaser represents and warrants to the
Administrator that it has and will, independently and without reliance upon the
Administrator and based on such documents and information as it has deemed
appropriate, made its own appraisal of an investigation into the business,
operations, property, prospects, financial and other conditions and
creditworthiness of the Seller and made its own decision to enter into this
Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and all other documents related
hereto or thereto.

ASSIGNMENT OF PURCHASER’S INTEREST
 
SECTION 12.01  Restrictions on Assignments.
 
(a)  Except as provided in the next sentence, neither the Seller nor Servicer
may assign its rights, or delegate its duties hereunder or any interest herein
without the prior written consent of the Administrator. Servicer may assign its
rights as Servicer under this Agreement to any of its Affiliates without prior
written consent of the Administrator, provided that Servicer shall have given
the Administrator ten days’ prior written notice thereof. Purchaser may not
assign its rights hereunder (although it may delegate its duties hereunder as
expressly indicated herein) or the Asset Interest (or any portion thereof) to
any Person without the prior written consent of Seller, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld (it being recognized and understood by all parties hereto
that all parties hereto shall deem it reasonable for Seller to withhold such
consent if any such proposed assignment would, in the reasonable determination
of Seller, cause Seller to be required to pay to any Affected Party any of the
amounts referred to in Section 4.02); provided, however, that Purchaser may
assign all of its rights and interests in the Transaction Documents, together
with all its interest in the Asset Interest, to Barclays or any Affiliate of
Barclays, or to any “bankruptcy remote” special purpose entity, the business of
which is administered by Barclays or any Affiliate of Barclays or to any
Liquidity Bank; provided, further, that such assignment shall not be expected to
cause an increase in the Earned Discount Rate.
 
(b)  Seller agrees to advise the Administrator within five Business Days after
notice to Seller of any proposed assignment by Purchaser of the Asset Interest
(or any portion thereof), not otherwise permitted under subsection (a), of
Seller’s consent or non-consent to such assignment and, if it does not consent,
the reasons therefor. If Seller does not consent to such assignment, Purchaser
may immediately assign such Asset Interest (or portion thereof) to Barclays or
any Affiliate of Barclays. All of the aforementioned assignments shall be upon
such terms and conditions as Purchaser and the assignee may mutually agree.
 
SECTION 12.02  Rights of Assignee. Upon the assignment by Purchaser in
accordance with this Article XII, the assignee receiving such assignment shall
have all of the rights of Purchaser with respect to the Transaction Documents
and the Asset Interest (or such portion thereof as has been assigned).
 
SECTION 12.03  Evidence of Assignment. Any assignment of the Asset Interest (or
any portion thereof) to any Person may be evidenced by such instrument(s) or
document(s) as may be reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser, the Administrator
and the assignee.
 
ARTICLE XIII  
 
INDEMNIFICATION
 
SECTION 13.01  Indemnities by Seller.
 
(a)  General Indemnity. Without limiting any other rights which any such Person
may have hereunder or under applicable law, Seller hereby agrees to indemnify
each of the Administrator, Purchaser, the Liquidity Banks, the Liquidity Agent,
each of their respective Affiliates, and all successors, transferees,
participants and assigns and all officers, directors, shareholders, controlling
persons, employees and agents of any of the foregoing (each an “Indemnified
Party”), forthwith on demand, from and against any and all damages, losses,
claims, liabilities and related costs and expenses, including reasonable
attorneys’ fees and disbursements (all of the foregoing being collectively
referred to as “Indemnified Amounts”) awarded against or incurred by any of them
arising out of or relating to the Transaction Documents, the Stock Purchase
Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby or the ownership or funding
of the Asset Interest or in respect of any Receivable or Account or any
Contract, excluding, however, (a) Indemnified Amounts to the extent resulting
from gross negligence, breach of contract or willful misconduct on the part of
any Indemnified Party or successor Servicer pursuant to Section 8.01(b) if such
successor Servicer is not an Affiliate of the Seller, (b) recourse (except as
otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement) for any Receivable that is
not paid as a result of credit related issues, or (c) any tax based upon or
measured by net income.
 
(b)  Procedure. In order for an Indemnified Party to be entitled to any
indemnification provided for under this Agreement in respect of, arising out of,
or involving a claim made by any Person against the Indemnified Party (a “Third
Party Claim”), such Indemnified Party must notify the Seller in writing of the
Third Party Claim within a reasonable time after receipt by such Indemnified
Party of written notice of the Third Party Claim unless the Seller shall have
previously obtained actual knowledge thereof. Thereafter, the Indemnified Party
shall deliver to the Seller, within a reasonable time after the Indemnified
Party’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court
papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating to the Third Party Claim.
 
(c)  Defense of Claims. If a Third Party Claim is made against an Indemnified
Party, (a) the Seller will be entitled to participate in the defense thereof
and, (b) if it so chooses, to assume the defense thereof with counsel selected
by the Seller, provided that in connection with such assumption (i) such counsel
is not reasonably objected to by the Indemnified Party, (ii) no material
conflict of interest shall exist in relation to such Third Party Claim between
such Indemnified Party and Seller, and (iii) the Seller, subject to Section
14.15, first admits in writing its liability to indemnify the Indemnified Party
with respect to all elements of such claim in full to the extent such claim is
valid. Should the Seller so elect to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim,
the Seller will not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal expenses
subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense
thereof. If the Seller elects to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the
Indemnified Party will (i) cooperate in all reasonable respects with the Seller
in connection with such defense and (ii) not admit any liability with respect
to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such Third Party Claim without the
Seller’s prior written consent, as the case may be. If the Seller shall assume
the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to
participate in (but not control) such defense with its own counsel at its own
expense. If the Seller does not assume the defense of any such Third Party
Claim, the Indemnified Party may defend the same in such manner as it may deem
appropriate, including settling such claim or litigation after giving prompt
notice to the Seller of such terms and, subject to Section 14.15, the Seller
will promptly reimburse the Indemnified Party upon written request. Anything
contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the Seller shall
not be entitled to assume the defense of any part of a Third Party Claim that
seeks an order, injunction or other equitable relief or relief for other than
money damages against the Indemnified Party.
