        SECTION 2.2    Purchases of Note Principal Balance Increases.    (a) Subject to the terms
and conditions hereof, including Article III, in consideration for the sale, assignment and transfer of the Offered Notes by the Transferor to the Investors
hereunder from time to time during the Revolving Period, on request of the Transferor on behalf of the Issuer in accordance with subsection 2.2(c), the Investors shall pay
to the Issuer an amount equal in each instance to the lesser of (i) the amount requested by the Issuer, (ii) the largest amount that will not cause the aggregate Note Principal Balance
to exceed the Maximum Principal Amount and (iii) the largest amount for each Class of Offered Notes that will not cause the Class A Note Principal Balance, the Class B Note
Principal Balance or the Class C Note Principal Balance to exceed the Class A Maximum Principal Amount, Class B Maximum Principal Amount or Class C Maximum Principal
Amount, respectively. 


        (b)   The
Transferor, on behalf of the Issuer, may within one hundred eighty (180) days, but no later than ninety (90) days prior to the then Scheduled
Expiration Date, by written notice to the Investors request the Investors to extend the Scheduled Expiration Date for an additional period of three hundred sixty four (364) days. Each Investor
shall make a determination, in its sole discretion and after a full credit review, as to whether or not it will agree to extend the Scheduled Expiration Date; provided,
however, that the failure of any Investor to make a response at least 15 days prior to the then Scheduled Expiration Date to the Transferor's (on behalf of the
Issuer) request for extension of the Scheduled Expiration Date shall be deemed to constitute a refusal by such Investor, as the case may be, to extend the Scheduled Expiration Date. The Scheduled
Expiration Date shall only be extended upon the consent of 100% of the Investors. 


        (c)   The
purchase of each Note Principal Balance Increase shall be made pursuant to the terms of an increase notice (the "Increase Notice") in
form substantially similar to that attached hereto as Exhibit A, delivered by the Transferor, on behalf of the Issuer, to Investors not later than 2:00 p.m.
(New York City time) on a Business Day which is not later than three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed Increase Date. Each such notice shall specify (i) the aggregate amount of the
Note Principal Balance Increase with regard to the Class A Notes, Class B Notes and/or Class C Notes, as applicable, which amount must satisfy the applicable minimum requirement
set forth below and (ii) the proposed Increase Date. Any such notice, once given, shall be irrevocable. The Issuer shall deliver no more than four such notices to the Investors in any calendar
month, and each amount specified in any such notice must be in an aggregate amount of not less than $5,000,000. On the date of purchase of the Note Principal Balance Increase, each Investor shall,
upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, make available to the Transferor, on behalf of the Issuer, in same day funds, at such bank
or other location reasonably designated by the Transferor, on behalf of the Issuer, in its Increase Notice given pursuant to this subsection 2.2(c), an amount equal to its
Commitment Percentage of the Note Principal Balance Increase. 


        SECTION
2.3    Reductions to the Maximum Principal Amount.    The Transferor, on behalf
of the Issuer, may, upon at least five Business Days prior written notice to the Investors, terminate in whole or
reduce in part the portion of the Maximum Principal Amount that exceeds the Note Principal Balance, and the Class A Maximum Principal Amount, Class B Maximum Principal Amount and
Class C Maximum Principal Amount of the Investors shall be reduced proportionately; provided, however, that each partial reduction of
the Maximum Principal Amount shall be in an aggregate amount equal to $1,000,000 or an integral multiple thereof and shall not cause the Class A Maximum Principal Amount to be less than the
Class A Note Principal Balance, the Class B Maximum Principal Amount to be less than the Class B Note Principal Balance and the Class C Maximum Principal Amount to be less
than the Class C Note Principal Balance. Each notice of reduction or termination pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall be irrevocable. 


        SECTION
2.4    Note Interest, Additional Interest, Fees and Other Costs and
Expenses.    (a) The Issuer or the Transferor, as applicable, shall pay, as and when due in accordance with the Indenture Supplement and this Agreement, all fees hereunder and
under the Fee Letter, the Class A Monthly

Interest,
the Class B Monthly Interest, the Class C Monthly Interest, the Class A Additional Interest, the Class B Additional Interest, the Class C Additional
Interest and all amounts payable by it pursuant to Article V, if any. 


        (b)   The
amount of interest (the "Class A Daily Interest") allocable to the Class A Notes with respect to any day falling in any
Interest Period shall be an amount equal to the sum of (a) the product of (i) the Class A Interest Rate for that Interest Period, (ii) a fraction the numerator of which is
1 and the denominator of which is 360 and (iii) the Class A Note Principal Balance as of the close of business on the first day of such Interest Period, minus any principal payments made
on the Class A Notes during that Interest Period and on or prior to that day; plus (b) for each Class A Note Principal Balance Increase purchased by the Investors during that
Interest Period and on or prior to such day, the product of (i) the applicable Class A Interest Rate, (ii) a fraction the numerator of which is 1 and the denominator of which is
360 and (iii) such Class A Note Principal Balance Increase. The amount of interest (the "Class A Monthly Interest") which shall accrue for the benefit
of the Investors with respect to any Interest Period shall be the sum of the Class A Daily Interest for each day in such Interest Period. 


        On
the Determination Date preceding each Distribution Date, the Servicer shall determine an amount (the "Class A Interest Shortfall") equal to the
excess, if any, of (x) the Class A Monthly Interest for the Interest Period applicable to the Distribution Date over (y) the amount available to be paid to the Investors in
respect of interest on such Distribution Date. If there is a Class A Interest Shortfall with respect to any Distribution Date, an additional amount ("Class A Additional
Interest") shall be payable as provided herein to the Investors on each Distribution Date following such Distribution Date on which there was a Class A Interest Shortfall, to and
including the Distribution Date on which such Class A Interest Shortfall is paid to the Investors, equal to the product of (i) the Class A Interest Rate for the current Interest
Period, (ii) a fraction the numerator of which is the actual number of days in the related Interest Period and the denominator of which is 360 and (iii) such Class A Interest
Shortfall remaining unpaid. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Class A Additional Interest shall be payable or distributed to the Investors only to the extent permitted by
applicable law. 


        (c)   The
amount of interest (the "Class B Daily Interest") allocable to the Class B Notes with respect to any day falling in any
Interest Period shall be an amount equal to the sum of (a) the product of (i) the Class B Interest Rate for that Interest Period, (ii) a fraction the numerator of which is
1 and the denominator of which is 360 and (iii) the Class B Note Principal Balance as of the close of business on the first day of such Interest Period, minus any principal payments made
on the Class B Notes during that Interest Period and on or prior to that day; plus (b) for each Class B Note Principal Balance Increase purchased by the Investors during that
Interest Period and on or prior to such day, the product of (i) the applicable Class B Interest Rate, (ii) a fraction the numerator of which is 1 and the denominator of which is
360 and (iii) such Class B Note Principal Balance Increase. The amount of interest (the "Class B Monthly Interest") which shall accrue for the benefit
of the Investors with respect to any Interest Period shall be the sum of the Class B Daily Interest for each day in such Interest Period. 


        On
the Determination Date preceding each Distribution Date, the Servicer shall determine an amount (the "Class B Interest Shortfall") equal to the
excess, if any, of (x) the Class B Monthly Interest for the Interest Period applicable to the Distribution Date over (y) the amount available to be paid to the Investors in
respect of interest on such Distribution Date. If there is a Class B Interest Shortfall with respect to any Distribution Date, an additional amount ("Class B Additional
Interest") shall be payable as provided herein to the Investors on each Distribution Date following such Distribution Date on which there was a Class B Interest Shortfall, to and
including the Distribution Date on which such Class B Interest Shortfall is paid to the Investors, equal to the product of (i) the Class B Interest Rate for the current Interest
Period, (ii) a fraction the numerator of which is the 


9





 



actual
number of days in the related Interest Period and the denominator of which is 360 and (iii) such Class B Interest Shortfall remaining unpaid. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein, Class B Additional Interest shall be payable or distributed to the Investors only to the extent permitted by applicable law. 


        (d)   The
amount of interest (the "Class C Daily Interest") allocable to the Class C Notes with respect to any day falling in any
Interest Period shall be an amount equal to the sum of (a) the product of (i) the Class C Interest Rate for that Interest Period, (ii) a fraction the numerator of which is
1 and the denominator of which is 360 and (iii) the Class C Note Principal Balance as of the close of business on the first day of such Interest Period, minus any principal payments made
on the Class C Notes during that Interest Period and on or prior to that day; plus (b) for each Class C Note Principal Balance Increase purchased by the Investors during that
Interest Period and on or prior to such day, the product of (i) the applicable Class C Interest Rate, (ii) a fraction the numerator of which is 1 and the denominator of which is
360 and (iii) such Class C Note Principal Balance Increase. The amount of interest (the "Class C Monthly Interest") which shall accrue for the benefit
of the Investors with respect to any Interest Period shall be the sum of the Class C Daily Interest for each day in such Interest Period. 



        On
the Determination Date preceding each Distribution Date, the Servicer shall determine an amount (the "Class C Interest Shortfall") equal to the
excess, if any, of (x) the Class C Monthly Interest for the
Interest Period applicable to the Distribution Date over (y) the amount available to be paid to the Investors in respect of interest on such Distribution Date. If there is a Class C
Interest Shortfall with respect to any Distribution Date, an additional amount ("Class C Additional Interest") shall be payable as provided herein to the Investors
on each Distribution Date following such Distribution Date on which there was a Class C Interest Shortfall, to and including the Distribution Date on which such Class C Interest
Shortfall is paid to the Investors, equal to the product of (i) the Class C Interest Rate for the current Interest Period, (ii) a fraction the numerator of which is the actual
number of days in the related Interest Period and the denominator of which is 360 and (iii) such Class C Interest Shortfall remaining unpaid. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein, Class C Additional Interest shall be payable or distributed to the Investors only to the extent permitted by applicable law. 


        (e)   For
purposes of determining Class A Monthly Interest, Class B Monthly Interest or Class C Monthly Interest, as applicable, for any Interest Period,
the Transferor may elect on each LIBOR Determination Date to determine LIBOR based on a one month, two month or three month period (each, a "LIBOR Period"). If the
Transferor chooses a one month LIBOR Period, then the related Interest Period will correspond to that LIBOR Period. If the Transferor chooses a two or three month LIBOR Period, then the next two or
three Interest Periods, as applicable, will together make up that LIBOR Period. The "LIBOR Period" for any Class A Stub Period, Class B Stub Period or Class C Stub Period, as
applicable, shall be one month, and shall commence on (and include) the related Increase Date and end on (but exclude) the next succeeding Distribution Date. "LIBOR" shall
mean, as of any LIBOR Determination Date, the offered rate for deposits in United States dollars for one month, two months or three months (as applicable commencing on the first day of the relevant
LIBOR Period) which appears on Telerate Page 3750 as of 11:00 A.M., London time, on the LIBOR Determination Date for such LIBOR Period. If such rate does not appear on Telerate Page 3750, the
rate for such LIBOR Determination Date will be determined on the basis of the rates at which deposits in the United States dollars are offered by four major banks in the London interbank market
selected by the Investors at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on such LIBOR Determination Date to prime banks in the London interbank market for a period equal to one month, two months or
three months (as applicable commencing on the first day of the relevant LIBOR Period). The Investors will request the principal London office of each such bank to provide a quotation of its rate. If
at least two such quotations are provided, the rate for such LIBOR Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided as requested, the rate
for such 


10





 



LIBOR
Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted by four major banks in New York City, selected by the Investors, at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the
LIBOR Determination Date for loans in United States dollars to leading European banks for a period equal to one month, two months or three months (as applicable commencing on the first day of such
LIBOR Period). 


        (f)    The
Issuer may repay all or any portion of the Note Principal Balance, plus any other costs or fees set forth in Article V, at any
time upon three (3) Business Days notice to the Investors with prior written consent of the Investors in their sole discretion. 


        SECTION
2.5    Payments and Computations, Etc.    All amounts to be paid or deposited by
the Transferor or the Servicer hereunder shall be paid or deposited in accordance with the terms hereof no later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the day when due in same day funds; if
such amounts are payable to the Investors they shall be paid or deposited in the account indicated under the heading "Payment Information" in Section 6.3, until
otherwise notified by the Investors. All computations of per annum fees hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days
(including the first but excluding the last day) elapsed. Any computations by the Investors of amounts payable under Article V shall be supported by a certificate
prepared in good faith setting forth the basis and the calculation of the amount (in reasonable detail) of each request by the Investors, shall be binding upon the Trustee and the Transferor absent
manifest error, and the Investors shall deliver a copy thereof to the Transferor and the Servicer. Nothing in this Section 2.5 shall be deemed to require the
Trustee or the Transferor to pay any amount to the Investors to the extent the Investors have been compensated therefor under another provision of this Agreement or to the extent such amount is
already reflected in the computations of Class A Additional Interest, Class B Additional Interest, Class C Additional Interest or any other fees hereunder.

ARTICLE V    
    
    INDEMNIFICATION; EXPENSES; RELATED MATTERS    
    



        SECTION
5.1    Indemnities by the Transferor.    Without limiting any other rights which
the Indemnified Parties may have hereunder or under applicable Law, the Transferor hereby agrees to indemnify each Investor and its respective officers, directors, employees and agents (collectively,
"Indemnified Parties") from and against any and all damages, losses, claims, liabilities, 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 in any action or proceeding between the Transferor and
any of the Indemnified Parties (but only to the extent that the Indemnified Party is the prevailing party in such action or proceeding against the Transferor) or between any of the Indemnified Parties
and any third party or otherwise arising out of or as a result of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, the ownership or maintenance, either directly or indirectly, by such Investor of the
Offered Notes or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except, (i) Indemnified Amounts to the extent resulting from gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct on the
part of such Indemnified Party, (ii) to the extent that any claim, damage, loss, liability, cost or expense relates to Excluded Taxes or amounts payable by the Issuer under
Sections 5.2, 5.3, or 5.4 (iii) for recourse for the payment of principal of or interest on, or other amounts due in respect of, the
Offered Notes as a result of nonpayment by Obligors on the Accounts or the related Receivables (collectively, the "Excluded Liabilities"). Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, 


23





 

the
Transferor shall indemnify each Indemnified Party for Indemnified Amounts relating to or resulting from: 


        (a)   reliance
on any representation or warranty made by the Transferor or any officers of the Transferor under or in connection with this Agreement, any of the other
Transaction Documents, or any other information or report delivered by the Transferor pursuant hereto, or pursuant to any of the other Transaction Documents which shall have been incomplete, false or
incorrect in any material respect when made or deemed made; 


        (b)   the
failure by the Transferor to comply with any applicable Law with respect to any Receivable or the related Credit Card Agreement, or the nonconformity of any
Receivable or the related Credit Card Agreement with any such applicable Law; 


        (c)   any
valid dispute, claim, offset or defense (other than discharge in bankruptcy) of the Obligor to the payment of any Receivable (including a defense based on such
Receivable or the related Credit Card Agreement not being the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Obligor enforceable against it in accordance with its terms); 


        (d)   the
failure by the Transferor to comply with any term, provision or covenant contained in this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party
or to perform any of its respective duties or obligations under the Receivables or related Contracts; or 


        (e)   any
action taken by the Transferor in the enforcement or collection of any Receivable. 



        Promptly
after receipt by an Indemnified Party of notice of the commencement of any action, such Indemnified Party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made under this
Section 5.1, notify the Transferor, provided, however, the omission to so notify the Transferor will not
relieve the Transferor from any liability which it may have to any such Indemnified Party under this Section 5.1, except to the extent the Transferor was actually
prejudiced by the failure to give such notices promptly. 


        Each
Indemnified Party shall use its good faith efforts to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any losses, expenses or claims for indemnification pursuant to this
Section 5.1; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall obligate any Indemnified Party to take
any action that imposes on such Person any additional costs or legal or regulatory burdens which in such Person's reasonable opinion, would have an adverse effect on its business, operations or
financial condition. 


        SECTION
5.2    Yield Protection.    (a) If after the Effective Date, the adoption of any
Law or bank regulatory guideline or any amendment or change in the administration, interpretation or application of any existing or future Law or bank regulatory guideline by any Governmental
Authority charged with the administration, interpretation or application thereof, or the compliance with any directive of any Governmental Authority (in the case of any bank regulatory guideline,
whether or not having the force of Law): 



        (i)    shall
impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement (including any such requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Indemnified Party or shall impose on any Indemnified Party or on the United States market for
certificates of deposit or the London interbank market any other similar condition affecting this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, the ownership, maintenance or financing of the Offered
Notes, or payments of amounts due hereunder or its obligation to advance funds hereunder or otherwise in respect of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, the ownership, maintenance or
financing of the Offered Notes; or 



24







  




        (ii)   imposes
upon any Indemnified Party any other condition or expense (including any loss of margin, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, and expenses of litigation or
preparation therefor in contesting any of the foregoing) with respect to this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, the ownership, maintenance or financing of the Offered Notes, or, other than
Excluded Taxes, payments of amounts due hereunder or its obligation to advance funds hereunder or otherwise in respect of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, the ownership, maintenance or
financing of the Offered Notes, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Indemnified Party with respect to
this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, the ownership, maintenance or financing of the Offered Notes, the Receivables, the obligations hereunder, the funding of any purchases hereunder by an
amount deemed by such Indemnified Party to be material, then, on the next succeeding Distribution Date after written demand by such Indemnified Party, the Transferor shall pay to such Investor such
additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Indemnified Party for such increased cost or reduction. 




        (b)   If
any Indemnified Party shall have determined that after the date hereof, the adoption of any applicable Law or bank regulatory guideline regarding capital adequacy, or
any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, or any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (in the case of any bank
regulatory guideline, whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of such Indemnified Party (or
its parent) as a consequence of such Indemnified Party's obligations hereunder or with respect hereto to a level below that which such Indemnified Party (or its parent) could have achieved but for
such adoption, change, request or directive (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Indemnified Party to be material, then on the next
succeeding Distribution Date after written demand by such Indemnified Party, the Transferor shall pay to such Investor such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Indemnified Party (or
its parent) for such reduction. 


        (c)   After
learning of any event occurring after the date hereof which will entitle an Indemnified Party to compensation pursuant to this
Article V, the applicable Investor shall notify the Transferor in writing. A notice by such Investor or the applicable Indemnified Party claiming compensation under
this Section and setting forth in reasonable detail an explanation therefor and a calculation of the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of
manifest error. In determining such amount, such Investor or any applicable Indemnified Party may use any reasonable averaging and attributing methods and shall describe such methods in reasonable
detail in any notice to the Transferor seeking compensation pursuant to this Article V. 


        SECTION
5.3    Taxes.    (a) All payments and distributions made hereunder by the
Transferor or the Servicer (each, a "payor") to each Investor (a "recipient") shall be made, to the extent permitted by applicable law, free
and clear of and without deduction for any present or future income, excise, stamp or franchise taxes and any other taxes, fees, duties, withholdings or other charges of any nature
whatsoever imposed by any taxing authority on any recipient (or any assignee of such parties), but excluding Excluded Taxes (such non-excluded items being called
"Taxes"). In the event that any withholding or deduction from any payment made by the payor hereunder is required in respect of any Taxes, then the Transferor shall: 



        (i)    pay
directly to the relevant authority the full amount required to be so withheld or deducted; 



        (ii)   promptly
forward to such Investor an official receipt or other documentation satisfactory to such Investor evidencing such payment to such authority; and 



25





 




        (iii)  pay
to the recipient such additional amount or amounts as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by the recipient will equal the full amount such
recipient would have received had no such withholding or deduction been required. 




        Moreover,
if any Taxes are directly asserted against any recipient with respect to any payment received by such payment recipient hereunder, the recipient may pay such Taxes and the
Transferor will promptly pay such additional amounts (including any penalties, interest or expenses), as shall be necessary in order that the net amount received by the payment recipient after the
payment of such Taxes (including any Taxes on such additional amount) shall equal the amount such payment recipient would have received had such Taxes not been asserted. 


        If
the Transferor fails to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the recipient the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the
Transferor shall indemnify the recipient for any incremental Taxes, interest, or penalties that may become payable by any recipient as a result of any such failure. 


        (b)   Each
Investor that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof or the District of Columbia shall, prior to becoming a party to
any Transaction Document, deliver to the Transferor two duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, or an applicable successor form. Each Investor that is
incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof or the District of Columbia shall, prior to becoming a party to any Transaction Document, deliver to the Transferor two
duly completed copies of an Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or applicable successor form. 



        (i)    Each
Investor shall deliver to the Transferor two (2) further copies of any such form or certification previously delivered on or before the date that any such
form or certification expires or becomes obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to the Transferor; and 


        (ii)   Each
Investor shall obtain such extensions of time for filing and complete such forms or certifications as may reasonably be requested by the Transferor; unless, in any
such case, an event (including, without limitation, any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred after the Effective Date and prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be
required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Investor from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it, and such Investor so advises the
Transferor. In such event, the Investor shall make reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Transferor in availing itself of any other then reasonably available exemption for Taxes. Each such Investor
so organized shall certify (i) in the case of an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, that it is entitled to receive payments under the this Agreement and the other
Transaction Documents without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes and (ii) in the case of an Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, that it is
entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax. 




        SECTION
5.4    Other Costs and Expenses; Breakage Costs.    (a) To the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, the Transferor agrees, on the next succeeding Distribution Date after receipt of a written invoice, to pay or cause to be paid, and to save each Investor harmless against
liability for the payment of, all reasonable out of pocket expenses (including attorneys' fees and expenses, any filing fees and expenses incurred by officers or employees of the Investor and fees and
expenses of the Investor with respect to one audit per year; provided, however, that upon the occurrence of an Early Redemption Event, the
Investors shall be reimbursed by the Transferor for reasonable fees and expenses incurred in connection with an unlimited number of audits) or intangible, documentary or recording taxes incurred by or
on behalf of the Investor (i) in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and any documents or instruments
delivered pursuant hereto and thereto and the transactions contemplated 


26





 

hereby
or thereby (including the perfection or protection of the Offered Notes) and (ii) from time to time (A) relating to any amendments, waivers or consents under this Agreement and
the other Transaction Documents, or (B) arising in connection with an Investor's enforcement or preservation of rights under this Agreement or in any of the other Transaction Documents. 


        (b)   The
Issuer shall pay an Investor, on the next succeeding Distribution Date after request from such Investor, such amount or amounts as shall compensate such Investor for
any loss (including loss of profit), cost or expense incurred by an Investor (as reasonably determined by such Investor) as a result of any reduction of the Class A Note Principal Balance,
Class B Note Principal Balance or Class C Note Principal Balance, as applicable, other than at the end of a LIBOR Period and for which the Transferor failed to provide notice to the
Investor pursuant to subsection 2.4(c). After such Investor receives actual knowledge of any of the events specified in this subsection
5.4(b), a certificate of such Investor setting forth in reasonable detail a calculation of any amount or amounts that such Investor is entitled to receive pursuant to this
subsection 5.4(b) and the reason(s) therefor shall be delivered to the Transferor (with a copy to the Investor) and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 


        SECTION
5.5    Indemnities by the Servicer.    (a) The Servicer shall indemnify and hold
harmless each Indemnified Party from and against any loss, liability, expense, damage or injury suffered or sustained by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, or negligence in the performance of
the duties of the Servicer, by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties of the Servicer hereunder or under the Indenture, the Indenture Supplement and the Transfer and Servicing
Agreement or by reason of the failure of any representation or warranty made or deemed made by the Servicer (or any of its officers) under or in connection with this Agreement to have been true and
correct in all material respects as of the date made or deemed made; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not indemnify any such
Indemnified Party for any such loss, liability, expense, damage or injury suffered or sustained by reason of any action taken or omitted at the written request of any such Indemnified Party; and
provided, further, that the Servicer shall not indemnify any such Indemnified Party for any such loss, liability, expense, damage or injury
incurred with respect to any action taken by such Indemnified Party constituting fraud, gross negligence, breach of fiduciary duty or willful misconduct, with respect to the uncollectibility of the
Receivables or with respect to any federal, state or local income or franchise taxes (or any interest or penalties with respect thereto) required to be paid by any such Indemnified Party in connection
herewith to any taxing authority. The Servicer shall not be liable for acts or omissions of any Successor Servicer. The provisions of this indemnity shall run directly to and be enforceable by an
injured party subject to the limitations hereof. 


        (b)   Each
Indemnified Party shall use its good faith efforts to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any losses, expenses or claims for indemnification pursuant to this
Section 5.5; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall obligate any Indemnified Party to take
any action that imposes on such Person any additional costs or legal or regulatory burdens which in such Person's reasonable opinion, would have an adverse effect on its business, operations or
financial condition.

further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power, right or remedy. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and nonexclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.

THE COURTS OF OTHER JURISDICTIONS.

THEM ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATING TO OR INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THEM IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS. 


        (c)   Each
of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in

any other manner permitted by law. 


        SECTION

of all prior expressions by the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall constitute the entire Agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof

6.6    Severability of Provisions.    If any one or more of the provisions of
this Agreement shall for any reason whatsoever be held invalid, then such provisions shall be deemed severable from the remaining provisions of this Agreement and shall in no way affect the validity
or enforceability of such other provisions.

limitation of any kind, any information with respect to the United States federal income "tax treatment" and "tax structure"

contained herein, the obligations of the Issuer under this Agreement, the Indenture and the Indenture Supplement shall be payable at such time as funds are received by or are available to the Issuer
in excess of funds necessary to pay in full all outstanding Notes and, to the extent funds are not available to pay such obligations, the claims relating thereto shall not constitute a claim against
the Issuer but shall continue to accrue. Each party hereto agrees that the payment by the Issuer of any "claim" (as defined in Section 101 of Title 11 of the Bankruptcy Code) of any such party
hereunder shall be subordinated to the payment in full of all Notes.

undertaken by the Issuer under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents to which the Issuer is a party.

6.13    Amounts Limited to Available Collections.    Notwithstanding anything
else in this Agreement to the contrary, the obligations of the Transferor hereunder shall be payable hereunder solely to the extent funds are available therefor and, to the extent such funds are

Transferor shall have a net worth calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of at least $10,000,000 and (ii) the Transferor shall make no distributions of dividends
or returns of capital comprising its net worth, as calculated in accordance with GAAP, except to the extent that, after giving effect thereto, the Transferor shall have a net worth at least equal to
$10,000,000. 


31
