     Insolvency Event shall have occurred and be continuing. Each APA Bank
     hereby agrees to purchase from PARCO such APA Bank's Pro Rata Share of the
     Purchase Percentage of the PARCO Interest for a purchase price equal to
     such APA Bank's Pro Rata Share of the Purchase Price on the Purchase Date
     (which date, subject to Section 2.1(b) below, may be the same as the date
     of the Sale Notice). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in
     this Agreement, no APA Bank shall have any obligation to purchase the PARCO
     Interest or any portion thereof from PARCO if, on such Purchase Date, a
     PARCO Insolvency Event shall have occurred and be continuing. The Funding
     Agent shall promptly advise each APA Bank (by telecopy or by telephone call
     promptly confirmed in writing by telecopy) of the receipt and content of
     any Sale Notice delivered to it by PARCO and shall promptly advise PARCO of
     the Purchase Price and each APA Bank of its Pro Rata Share of the Purchase
     Price thereunder. The Purchase Price shall be deposited in immediately
     available funds into the account(s) specified by PARCO in the related Sale
     Notice.

               (b) Timing of Sale Notice and Purchase Date. If, at or prior to
     12:30 P.M. (New York time) on any Business Day, PARCO delivers a Sale
     Notice to the Funding Agent specifying that the Purchase Date shall be the
     same date as the date of the Sale Notice, the Funding Agent shall, by no
     later than 1:30 P.M. (New York time) on such Business Day, notify each APA
     Bank of such Sale Notice. Each APA Bank shall make a purchase of its Pro
     Rata Share of the Purchase Percentage of the PARCO Interest by advancing
     immediately available funds on such date to the account of PARCO maintained
     at the principal office of the Funding Agent no later than 3:00 P.M. (New
     York time). Notwithstanding the fact that the Purchase Date may occur on a
     date which is later than the date on which the Sale Notice is delivered to
     the Funding Agent, the several obligations of each APA Bank to accept such
     transfer and to make payment of the amounts required to be paid by it
     pursuant to Section 2.2 shall arise immediately upon

                                        9

<PAGE>

     receipt by the Funding Agent of the Sale Notice. Regardless of when the
     Sale Notice is received, any APA Bank may designate any one or more of its
     domestic or foreign branches, offices or affiliates through which it will
     fund its Pro Rata Share of the Purchase Price for a Purchase, and the term
     "APA Bank" shall include any such branch, office or affiliate for such
     purpose.

          SECTION 2.2. Several Commitments of the APA Banks.

               (a) Funding upon Receipt of the Sale Notice. Each APA Bank hereby
     absolutely and unconditionally (except as provided in Section 2.1(a))
     severally commits to PARCO and to the Funding Agent to provide the Funding
     Agent, on the Purchase Date (if notice has been given in accordance with
     Section 2.1(b)) at the principal office of the Funding Agent in The City of
     New York for delivery to PARCO, with immediately available funds in an
     amount equal to such APA Bank's Pro Rata Share of the Purchase Price with
     respect to such Purchase Date, whereupon such APA Bank shall become the
     sole owner of its Pro Rata Share of the APA Bank's Purchase Percentage with
     respect to such Purchase Date of the Transferred Assets. The APA Banks'
     several obligations under this Section 2.2(a) to provide the Funding Agent
     with funds shall terminate on the Commitment Expiry Date. Notwithstanding
     anything contained in this Section 2.2(a) or elsewhere in this Agreement to
     the contrary, no APA Bank shall be obligated to provide the Funding Agent
     with aggregate funds in connection with a Purchase in an amount that would
     exceed such APA Bank's Available Commitment then in effect. The failure of
     any APA Bank to make its Pro Rata Share of the Purchase Price available to
     the Funding Agent shall not relieve any other APA Bank of its obligations
     hereunder.

               (b) Defaulting APA Banks. If, by 3:00 P.M. (New York time) on any
     Purchase Date, one or more APA Banks (each, a "Defaulting APA Bank", and
     each APA Bank other than the Defaulting APA Bank being referred to as a
     "Non-Defaulting APA Bank") fails to make its Pro Rata Share of the Purchase
     Price available to the Funding Agent pursuant to Section 2.1(a) (the
     aggregate amount not so made available to the Funding Agent being herein
     called the "Purchase Price Deficit"), then the Funding Agent shall, by no
     later than 3:30 P.M. (New York time) on such Purchase Date, instruct each
     Non-Defaulting APA Bank to pay, by no later than 4:00 P.M. (New York time)
     on such Purchase Date, in immediately available funds, to the account
     designated by the Funding Agent, an amount equal to the lesser of (x) such
     Non-Defaulting APA Bank's proportionate share (based upon the relative
     Commitments of the Non-Defaulting APA Banks) of the Purchase Price Deficit
     and (y) its Available Commitment. A Defaulting APA Bank shall forthwith,
     upon demand, pay to the Funding Agent for the ratable benefit of the
     Non-Defaulting APA Banks all amounts paid by each Non-Defaulting APA Bank
     on behalf of such Defaulting APA Bank, together with interest thereon, for
     each day from the date a payment was made by a Non-Defaulting APA Bank
     until the date such Non-Defaulting APA Bank has been paid such amounts in
     full, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Federal Funds Rate plus
     2%. In addition, without prejudice to any other rights that

                                       10

<PAGE>

     PARCO may have under applicable law, each Defaulting APA Bank shall pay to
     PARCO forthwith upon demand, the difference between the Defaulting APA
     Bank's unpaid Pro Rata Share of the Purchase Price and the amount paid with
     respect thereto by the Non-Defaulting APA Banks, together with interest
     thereon, for each day from the date of the Funding Agent's request for such
     Defaulting APA Bank's Pro Rata Share of the Purchase Price pursuant to
     Section 2.1(b) until the date the requisite amount is paid to PARCO in
     full, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Federal Funds Rate plus
     2%.

          SECTION 2.3. Nonrecourse Nature of Transactions. Each of the Funding
Agent and the APA Banks hereby agrees that all Purchases shall be without
recourse of any kind to PARCO or the Funding Agent, except as expressly provided
in Sections 4.3 and 4.7 with respect to the Funding Agent.

          SECTION 2.4. Payments; Indemnity.

               (a) Payments Generally. On or prior to the Closing Date, the
     Funding Agent shall establish a demand deposit account with Chase for the
     benefit of PARCO and the APA Banks (the "Funding Account"), into which all
     payments received by the Funding Agent from the Servicer, the Back-up
     Servicer, TMN, the Administrative Agent or the Transferor in respect of the
     PARCO Facility Interest shall be deposited. The Funding Agent, on behalf of
     PARCO and the APA Banks, shall have the sole right of withdrawal from the
     Funding Account. For so long as any amounts remain due and owing to PARCO
     or the APA Banks hereunder or pursuant to the Receivables Transfer
     Agreement, the Funding Agent shall distribute all payments received by it
     in respect of the PARCO Facility Interest immediately after receipt thereof
     by (i) transferring to PARCO and the APA Banks, on a pro rata basis, based
     on the amounts thereof owing to PARCO and the APA Banks, respectively, all
     payments of Discount or interest, (ii) transferring to PARCO and the APA
     Banks, on a pro rata basis, based on the PARCO Interest and the APA Bank
     Interest, respectively, on the date of payment, all payments in reduction
     of the PARCO Facility Net Investment and (iii) transferring to PARCO and/or
     the APA Banks, any other amounts owing to PARCO and/or the APA Banks under
     the Receivables Transfer Agreement; provided, that any amounts deposited in
     the Funding Account by the Transferor pursuant to the first sentence of
     Section 2.6 of the Receivables Transfer Agreement and deposited by the
     Administrative Agent in the Funding Account in accordance with Section 2.10
     of the Receivables Transfer Agreement shall remain in the Funding Account
     until transferred to PARCO and/or the APA Banks, as applicable, on the
     Settlement Date or the last day of Tranche Periods selected by the Funding
     Agent in reduction of the Aggregate Net Investment. Such transfers shall be
     made by the Funding Agent by withdrawing funds on deposit in the Funding
     Account and remitting such funds to the accounts of PARCO and the several
     APA Banks specified by each of them from time to time. The Funding Agent
     shall remit any such funds to the APA Banks ratably in accordance with
     their Pro Rata Shares (calculated without regard to that portion of the
     PARCO APA Bank Commitment of a Defaulting APA Bank which such Defaulting
     APA

                                       11

<PAGE>

     Bank failed to fund pursuant to this Agreement). Funds transferred to the
     Administrative Agent by the Transferor pursuant to the first sentence of
     Section 2.6 of the Receivables Transfer Agreement and deposited by the
     Administrative Agent in the Funding Account in accordance with Section 2.10
     of the Receivables Transfer Agreement shall be invested by the Funding
     Agent in Permitted Investments that will mature so that such funds will be
     available prior to each Settlement Date and the last day of each successive
     Tranche Period following such investment. On each Settlement Date and the
     last day of each Tranche Period, all interest and earnings (net of losses
     and investment expenses) on funds on deposit in the Funding Account shall
     be retained in the Funding Account and be available to make any payments
     required to be made under the Transaction Documents by the Transferor to
     PARCO and the APA Banks. On the date on which the Aggregate Net Investment
     is zero and all accrued Discount and all other Aggregate Unpaids have been
     paid in full, any funds remaining on deposit in the Funding Account shall
     be paid to the Transferor.

               (b) Requests for Indemnity under the Transaction Documents. The
     Funding Agent shall, at the written request of any APA Bank, make demand of
     PARCO for payment of any amounts from time to time claimed by such APA Bank
     pursuant to the terms of the Receivables Transfer Agreement, and the
     Funding Agent shall, upon its receipt of such amounts, distribute them to
     each such APA Bank ratably in accordance with their respective Pro Rata
     Shares (calculated without regard to that portion of the PARCO APA Bank
     Commitment of a Defaulting APA Bank which such Defaulting APA Bank failed
     to fund pursuant to this Agreement); provided that no such demand shall be
     made of PARCO except to the extent that such claim arises out of, or
     relates to, PARCO's beneficial interest in the Transferred Interests.

               (c) Payments Conditional upon Receipt from the Administrative
     Agent, PARCO, the Servicer, the Back-up Servicer, TMN or the Transferor.
     Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the Funding
     Agent shall have no obligation to make any payments to the APA Banks unless
     and until it has received such amounts from the Administrative Agent,
     PARCO, the Servicer, the Back-up Servicer, TMN or the Transferor pursuant
     to the terms of the Receivables Transfer Agreement.

          SECTION 2.5. Reduction of Commitments. The PARCO APA Bank Commitment
of each APA Bank (i) shall be automatically reduced following any permanent
reduction of the APA Bank Aggregate Commitment under the Receivables Transfer
Agreement in an amount equal to such APA Bank's Pro Rata Share of the amount of
such reduction and (ii) shall be automatically reduced to zero on the Commitment
Expiry Date.

          SECTION 2.6. Issuance of Commercial Paper by PARCO. For so long as
this Agreement is in full force and effect, PARCO shall not issue Commercial
Paper with respect to the Transferred Interests on any day if, after giving
effect to such issuance and the use of proceeds thereof, the Face Amount of all
outstanding Commercial Paper

                                       12

<PAGE>

issued by PARCO with respect to the Transferred Interests on such day would
exceed 102% of the sum of the Transfer Prices related to all PARCO Facility
Interests (after giving effect to the issuance and payment of such Commercial
Paper on such day).

          SECTION 2.7. Purchase Price Reduction Percentage. If on the related
Purchase Date, there is a Loss Amount, then, in such event, each APA Bank agrees
that the Funding Agent, for the benefit of PARCO, shall immediately remit to
PARCO the Reduction Percentage of any amounts received by the Funding Agent with
respect to the PARCO Facility Interest; provided, however, that such amounts
shall be remitted to PARCO only after the APA Bank Net Investment is zero.

                                   ARTICLE III

                         REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Administrative Agent of any of their respective obligations under the

                                   ARTICLE IV

                                THE FUNDING AGENT

          SECTION 4.1. Appointment. PARCO and each APA Bank hereby irrevocably
designates and appoints Chase as Funding Agent on its behalf under the
Transaction Documents and under Section 2.4(a) of this Agreement, and each APA
Bank hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Chase as Funding Agent on its
behalf under this Agreement. In furtherance of the foregoing, PARCO and each APA
Bank hereby authorizes the Funding Agent to take such action on its behalf under
the provisions of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents and to exercise
such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Funding
Agent by the terms of the Agreement and the Transaction Documents, together with
such other powers as are reasonably incidental hereto or thereto.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement or the
Transaction Documents, the Funding Agent shall not have any duties or
responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein or therein, or any
fiduciary relationship with any APA Bank or PARCO, and no implied covenants,
functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities on the part of
the Funding Agent shall be read into this Agreement or any Transaction Document
or shall otherwise exist against the Funding Agent. The provisions of this
Article IV are solely for the benefit of the Funding Agent, PARCO and the APA
Banks. In performing its functions and duties solely under this Agreement
(except with respect to Section 2.4(a) hereof), subject to the provisions of
Section 5.10 hereof, the Funding Agent shall act solely as the agent of the APA
Banks and does not assume, nor shall be deemed to have assumed, any obligation
or relationship of trust or agency with or for PARCO.

                                       14

<PAGE>

          SECTION 4.2. Delegation of Duties. The Funding Agent may execute any
of its duties under this Agreement by or through its subsidiaries, affiliates,
agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel
(including without limitation, counsel for the Servicer, the Back-up Servicer,
the Sellers, the Initial Purchasers or the APA Bank Purchasers), independent
public accountants and other experts selected by it concerning all matters
pertaining to such duties. The Funding Agent shall not be responsible for the
negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with
reasonable care.

          SECTION 4.3. Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Funding Agent nor any
of its directors, officers, agents, employees, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates
shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it
or them or any Person described in Section 4.2 under or in connection with this
Agreement or the Transaction Documents (x) with the consent or at the request of
either PARCO or the APA Banks or (y) in the absence of its own gross negligence
or willful misconduct, or (ii) responsible in any manner to either PARCO or any
APA Bank for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties contained
in this Agreement or the Transaction Documents or in any certificate, report,
statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the
Funding Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or the Transaction
Documents or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability
or sufficiency of the Transaction Documents, this Agreement or any other
document furnished in connection therewith or herewith, or for any failure of
PARCO, an APA Bank or any of the Transaction Parties to perform its obligations
under this Agreement or any Transaction Document or for the satisfaction of any
condition specified in this Agreement or the Transaction Documents. The Funding
Agent shall not be under any obligation to either PARCO or any APA Bank to
ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the
agreements or covenants contained in, or conditions of, the Transaction
Documents, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Transaction
Parties.

          SECTION 4.4. Reliance by Funding Agent. The Funding Agent shall in all
cases be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any
note, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter,
cablegram, telegram, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or
other document or conversation 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 for the
Servicer, the Back-up Servicer, the Sellers, the Initial Purchasers or the APA
Bank Purchasers), independent accountants and other experts selected by the
Funding Agent and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be
taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel,
accountants or experts. The Funding Agent shall in all cases be fully justified
in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement, the Transaction
Documents or any other document furnished in connection herewith or therewith
unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of PARCO, the Required
Participants, the Required APA Banks or all of the APA Banks, as applicable, as
it deems appropriate, or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by
PARCO or the APA Banks, as applicable, against any and all liability, cost and
expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take

                                       15

<PAGE>

any such action. The Funding Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in
acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any Transaction
Document or any other document furnished in connection herewith or therewith in
accordance with a request of PARCO, the Required Participants, the Required APA
Banks or all of the APA Banks, as applicable, and such request and any action
taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon PARCO and all the
APA Banks, as applicable.

          SECTION 4.5. Notice of Events of Default and other Events; Voting. The
Funding Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence
of any Termination Event unless the Funding Agent has received notice from any
APA Bank Purchaser, an Initial Purchaser or any Transaction Party referring to
the Transaction Documents stating that a Termination Event has occurred with
respect to the Transferred Interests and describing such event. If the Funding
Agent receives such a notice, the Funding Agent shall promptly give notice
thereof to PARCO, each APA Bank and each Rating Agency. Subject to the
provisions of Section 5.1(b), to the extent the Funding Agent is entitled to
consent to or withhold its consent of any waiver or amendment of any Transaction
Document in accordance with the terms thereof, the Funding Agent shall (a) give
prompt notice to PARCO, the APA Banks and the Rating Agencies of any such waiver
or amendment of which it is aware, and (b) take such action with respect to such
waiver, amendment, or Termination Event as shall be directed by PARCO and the
Required Participants; provided, however, that unless and until the Funding
Agent shall have received such directions, the Funding Agent may (but shall not
be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with
respect to such Termination Event as the Funding Agent shall deem advisable and
in the best interests of PARCO and the APA Banks.

          SECTION 4.6. Non-Reliance on Funding Agent. PARCO and each APA Bank
expressly acknowledges that neither the Funding Agent, nor any of its officers,
directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made any
representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Funding Agent
hereafter taken, including, without limitation, any review of the affairs of
PARCO, the APA Banks or any Transaction Party, shall be deemed to constitute any
representation or warranty by the Funding Agent. The Funding Agent shall not
have any duty or responsibility to provide PARCO or any APA Bank with any credit
or other information concerning the business, operations, property, prospects,
financial and other condition or creditworthiness of PARCO, the APA Banks or the
Transaction Parties which may come into the possession of the Funding Agent or
any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or
Affiliates.

          SECTION 4.7. Indemnification. The APA Banks agree to indemnify the
Funding Agent and its officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents
(to the extent not reimbursed by the Transaction Parties, and without limiting
the obligation of any Transaction Party to do so in accordance with the terms of
the Transaction Documents), ratably according to their Pro Rata Shares, from and
against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or
nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and
disbursements of counsel for the Funding Agent or the

                                       16

<PAGE>

affected Person in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial
proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not the Funding Agent or such
affected Person shall be designated a party thereto) that may at any time be
imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Funding Agent or such affected
Person as a result of, or arising out of, or in any way related to or by reason
of, any of the transactions contemplated hereunder or under the Transaction
Documents or the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement, any
Transaction Document or any other document furnished in connection herewith or
therewith (but excluding any such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting
solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Funding Agent or
such affected Person).

          SECTION 4.8. Funding Agent in its Individual Capacity. The Funding
Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally
engage in any kind of business with PARCO or any Transaction Party or any
Affiliate of such Persons as though the Funding Agent were not the Funding Agent
hereunder. With respect to its acquisition of any interest in the Transferred
Assets pursuant to this Agreement, the Funding Agent shall have the same rights
and powers under this Agreement as any APA Bank and may exercise the same as
though it were not the Funding Agent, and the terms "APA Bank" and "APA Banks"
shall include the Funding Agent in its individual capacity as an APA Bank.

          SECTION 4.9. Successor Funding Agent. The Funding Agent may, upon five
(5) days' notice to PARCO, the APA Banks and the Rating Agencies, and the
Funding Agent will, upon the direction of the Required APA Banks (calculated
without regard to the Pro Rata Share of Chase or any Affiliate of Chase), resign
as Funding Agent; provided, in either case, that an APA Bank agrees to become
the successor Funding Agent hereunder in accordance with the next sentence. If
the Funding Agent shall resign as Funding Agent under this Agreement, then the
Required APA Banks during such period shall appoint from among the APA Banks a
successor agent, whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights,
powers and duties of the Funding Agent, and the term "Funding Agent" shall mean
such successor agent, effective upon its acceptance of such appointment, and the
former Funding Agent's rights, powers and duties as Funding Agent shall be
terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former
Funding Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement. After the retiring
Funding Agent's resignation hereunder as Funding Agent, the provisions of this
Article IV shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be
taken by it while it was Funding Agent under this Agreement.

          SECTION 4.10. Chase Conflict Waiver. Chase acts as PARCO
Administrative Agent, as issuing and paying agent for PARCO's Commercial Paper,
as provider of other backup facilities for PARCO, as Administrative Agent, as
Successor Servicer under the Receivables Transfer Agreement and may provide
other services or facilities from time to time (the "Chase Roles"). Without
limiting the generality of Section 4.8, each APA Bank hereby acknowledges and
consents to any and all Chase Roles, waives any objections it may have to any
actual or potential conflict of interest caused by Chase's acting as the Funding
Agent or as an APA Bank hereunder and acting

                                       17

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

          SECTION 5.1. Waivers; Amendments, etc.

               (a) No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the
     part of the Funding Agent or any APA Bank in exercising any power, right or
     remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall
     any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or remedy preclude
     any other 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 and remedies provided by law. Any
     waiver of this Agreement shall be effective only for the specific purpose
     for which given.

               (b) Amendments, Etc. This Agreement may be amended, supplemented,
     modified or waived with the written consent of all of the parties hereto;
     provided that no such amendment, supplement, modification or waiver shall
     become effective without prior written notice to each of the Rating
     Agencies. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of the APA
     Banks, the Funding Agent and PARCO may amend this Agreement solely to add
     additional Persons as APA Banks. Any such amendment, supplement,
     modification or waiver shall apply to each of the APA Banks equally and
     shall be binding upon PARCO, the APA Banks and the Funding Agent. In the
     case of any waiver, PARCO, the APA Banks and the Funding Agent shall be
     restored to their former positions and rights hereunder.

               (c) Integration. This Agreement and the Transaction Documents
     contain a final and complete integration 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, superseding all prior oral or written
     understandings.

          SECTION 5.2. Notices. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein,
all communications and notices provided for hereunder shall be in writing and
shall be (a) hand-delivered by messenger, (b) sent by reputable overnight or
second business day courier, or (c) sent by telecopy or similar electronic
transmission directed to the applicable address or telecopy number, as the case
may be, set forth on Exhibit C hereto (as amended from time to time) or at such
other address or telecopy number as any party may hereafter specify in writing
to the Funding Agent for the purpose of receiving notices. Each such notice or
other communication shall be effective only upon receipt

                                       18

thereof.

          SECTION 5.3. Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. This Agreement
shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of
New York.

          SECTION 5.4. Severability; Counterparts; Waiver of Setoff. This
Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties
hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed
to be an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and
the same agreement. Any provisions of this Agreement which are prohibited or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective
to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the
remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any
jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any
other jurisdiction. Each APA Bank and the Funding Agent hereby waives any right
of setoff it may have or to which it may be entitled under this Agreement from
time to time against PARCO or its assets.

          SECTION 5.5. Successors and Assigns; Participations; Assignments.

               (a) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon
     the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
     No APA Bank may participate, assign or sell any portion of its rights
     hereunder except as required by operation of law, in connection with the
     merger, consolidation or dissolution of any APA Bank or as provided in this
     Section 5.5. No assignment hereunder shall become effective without a
     Rating Confirmation.

               (b) Participations. Any APA Bank may, with the consent of TMN
     (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) and the Funding Agent and in
     the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable law,
     at any time sell to one or more Persons (each, a "Participant")
     participating interests in its rights and obligations hereunder and under
     the Transaction Documents; provided, however, that each Participant shall
     purchase an identical percentage in such selling APA Bank's PARCO APA Bank
     Commitment, unused PARCO APA Bank Commitment and Pro Rata Share of the APA
     Bank Net Investment; provided, further, that each Participant shall, prior
     to the effectiveness of such participation, be required to provide all of
     the forms and statements required pursuant to subsection 7.3(b) of the
     Receivables Transfer Agreement and shall, as of the date such Person
     becomes a Participant comply with the provisions of subsection 7.3(b) and
     Section 10.9 of the Receivables Transfer Agreement. Notwithstanding any
     such sale by an APA Bank of participating interests to a Participant, such
     APA Bank's rights and obligations under this Agreement shall remain
     unchanged, such APA Bank shall remain solely responsible for the
     performance thereof, and PARCO and the Funding Agent shall continue to deal
     solely and directly with such APA Bank in connection with such APA Bank's
     rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents.
     Each APA Bank agrees that any agreement between such APA Bank and any

                                       19

<PAGE>

     such Participant in respect of such participating interest shall not
     restrict such APA Bank's right to agree to any amendment, supplement,
     waiver or modification to this Agreement.

               (c) Assignments to Purchasers.

                    (i) Any APA Bank may at any time and from time to time, upon
          the prior written consent of TMN (such consent not to be unreasonably
          withheld), PARCO and the Funding Agent, assign to one or more
          accredited investors or other Persons ("Purchaser(s)") all or any part
          of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Transaction
          Documents pursuant to a supplement to this Agreement, substantially in
          the form of Exhibit A hereto (each, a "Transfer Supplement"), executed
          by the Purchaser, such selling APA Bank and, as applicable, the
          Funding Agent; and provided however that (A) each Purchaser shall
          purchase an identical percentage in such selling APA Bank's PARCO APA
          Bank Commitment, unused PARCO APA Bank Commitment and Pro Rata Share
          of the APA Bank Net Investment, (B) any such assignment cannot be for
          an amount less than the lesser of (1) $10,000,000 and (2) such selling
          APA Bank's PARCO APA Bank Commitment or Pro Rata Share of the APA Bank
          Net Investment (calculated at the time of such assignment), (C) each
          Purchaser must be a financial institution incorporated in an OECD
          Country rated at least A-1/P-1 (or the equivalent short-term rating)
          by the Rating Agencies and (D) each Purchaser shall deliver to the
          Funding Agent and PARCO an opinion of such Purchaser's counsel in
          substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto.

                    (ii) Each of the APA Banks agrees that in the event that it
          shall cease to have short-term debt ratings of at least A-1 by S&P and
          at least P-1 by Moody's, or, if such APA Bank does not have short-term
          debt which is rated by S&P's and Moody's, in the event that the parent
          corporation of such APA Bank has rated short-term debt, such parent
          corporation ceases to have short-term debt ratings of at least A-1 by
          S&P and at least P-1 by Moody's (each, an "Affected APA Bank"), such
          Affected APA Bank shall be obliged, at the request of PARCO and the
          Funding Agent, to assign all of its rights and obligations hereunder
          to (x) one or more other APA Banks selected by PARCO and the Funding
          Agent which are willing to accept such assignment, or (y) another
          financial institution rated at least A-1/P-1 (or the equivalent
          short-term rating) by the Rating Agencies nominated by the Funding
          Agent and consented to by PARCO (which consent shall not be
          unreasonably withheld) and the Funding Agent, and willing to
          participate in this facility through the Scheduled Commitment
          Termination Date in the place of such Affected APA Bank; provided that
          (i) the Affected APA Bank receives payment in full, pursuant to a
          Transfer Supplement and/or, as applicable, an assignment, of an amount
          equal to the Affected APA Bank's Pro Rata Share of the APA Bank Net
          Investment and any other amounts due and

                                       20

<PAGE>

          owing to such Affected APA Bank under the Transaction Documents and
          (ii) such nominated financial institution, if not an existing APA
          Bank, satisfies all the requirements of this Agreement and provides
          the Funding Agent with an opinion of counsel in substantially the form
          of Exhibit B hereto.

                    (iii) Upon (A) execution of a Transfer Supplement, (B)
          delivery of an executed copy thereof to PARCO, the Funding Agent and
          the Administrative Agent and delivery to the Funding Agent and PARCO
          of an opinion of such Purchaser's counsel in substantially the form of
          Exhibit B hereto, (C) payment, if applicable, by the Purchaser to such
          selling APA Bank of an amount equal to the purchase price agreed
          between such selling APA Bank and the Purchaser and (D) receipt by
          PARCO of a Rating Confirmation, such selling APA Bank shall be
          released from its obligations hereunder and under the Transaction
          Documents to the extent of such assignment and the Purchaser shall,
          for all purposes, be an APA Bank party to this Agreement and shall
          have all the rights and obligations of an APA Bank under this
          Agreement to the same extent as if it were an original party hereto or
          thereto, and no further consent or action by PARCO, the APA Banks or
          the Funding Agent shall be required. The amount of the assigned
          portion of the selling APA Bank's Pro Rata Share of the APA Bank Net
          Investment allocable to the Purchaser shall be equal to the
          Transferred Percentage (as defined in the Transfer Supplement) of such
          selling APA Bank's Pro Rata Share of the APA Bank Net Investment which
          is transferred thereunder regardless of the purchase price paid
          therefor. Such Transfer Supplement shall be deemed to amend this
          Agreement to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to reflect
          the addition of the Purchaser as an APA Bank and the resulting
          adjustment of the selling APA Bank's PARCO APA Bank Commitment arising
          from the purchase by the Purchaser of all or a portion of the selling
          APA Bank's rights, obligations, and interest hereunder and under the
          Transaction Documents.

          SECTION 5.6. Effectiveness of this Agreement. This Agreement, and the
obligations of the Funding Agent and the APA Banks hereunder, shall become
effective when the Funding Agent has received counterparts hereof, duly executed
by the Funding Agent, PARCO and each of the APA Banks.

          SECTION 5.7. No Petition. The Funding Agent, each APA Bank and PARCO
hereby covenant and agree that, prior to the date which is one year and one day
after the payment in full of all outstanding Commercial Paper of PARCO, such
party will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting
against, PARCO any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or
liquidation proceedings or other similar proceeding or otherwise seek the entry
of any order for relief or for the appointment of any receiver, trustee or other
similar official for PARCO or any substantial part of PARCO's property, under
the laws of any jurisdiction. The provisions of this Section 5.7 shall survive
termination of this Agreement.

                                       21

<PAGE>

          SECTION 5.8. Waiver of Trial by Jury. To the extent permitted by
applicable law, the Funding Agent, each APA Bank and PARCO irrevocably waives
all right of trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim arising out
of or in connection with this Agreement or the operative documents or any matter
arising hereunder or thereunder.

          SECTION 5.9. Limited Recourse. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, the obligations of PARCO under this Agreement are
solely the corporate obligations of PARCO and, in the case of obligations of
PARCO other than Commercial Paper, shall be payable at such time as funds are
received by or are available to PARCO in excess of funds necessary to pay in
full all outstanding Commercial Paper and, to the extent funds are not available
to pay such obligations, the claims relating thereto shall not constitute a
claim against PARCO but shall continue to accrue. Each party hereto agrees that
the payment of any claim (as defined in Section 101 of Title 11 of the
Bankruptcy Code) of any such party shall be subordinated to the payment in full
of all Commercial Paper.

          No recourse under any obligation, covenant or agreement of PARCO
contained in this Agreement shall be had against any incorporator, stockholder,
officer, director, employee or agent of PARCO, the Administrative Agent, the
PARCO Administrative Agent, the Funding Agent, the Manager or any of their
Affiliates (solely by virtue of such capacity) by the enforcement of any
assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, by virtue of any statute or
otherwise; it being expressly agreed and understood that this Agreement is
solely a corporate obligation of PARCO individually, and that no personal
liability whatever shall attach to or be incurred by any incorporator,
stockholder, officer, director, employee or agent of PARCO, the Administrative
Agent, the PARCO Administrative Agent, the Funding Agent, the Manager or any of
their Affiliates (solely by virtue of such capacity) or any of them under or by
reason of any of the obligations, covenants or agreements of PARCO contained in
this Agreement, or implied therefrom, and that any and all personal liability
for breaches by PARCO of any of such obligations, covenants or agreements,
either at common law or at equity, or by statute, rule or regulation, of every
such incorporator, stockholder, officer, director, employee or agent is hereby
expressly waived as a condition of and in consideration for the execution of
this Agreement; provided that the foregoing shall not relieve any such Person
from any liability it might otherwise have as a result of fraudulent actions
taken or omissions made by them. The provisions of this Section 5.9 shall
survive termination of this Agreement.

          SECTION 5.10. Liability of Funding Agent. Notwithstanding any
provision of this Agreement: (i) the Funding Agent shall not have any
obligations under this Agreement other than those specifically set forth herein,
and no implied obligations of the Funding Agent shall be read into this
Agreement; and (ii) in no event shall the Funding Agent be liable under or in
connection with this Agreement for indirect, special, or consequential losses or
damages of any kind, including lost profits, even if advised of the possibility
thereof and regardless of the form of action by which such losses or damages may
be claimed. Neither the Funding Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents
or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good

                                       22

<PAGE>

faith by it or them under or in connection with this Agreement, except for its
or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the
foregoing, the Funding Agent (a) may consult with legal counsel (including,
without limitation, counsel for the Servicer, the Back-up Servicer, the Sellers,
the Initial Purchasers or the APA Bank Purchasers), independent 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) shall not be responsible to
PARCO for any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection
with this Agreement or the Transaction Documents, (c) shall not be responsible
to PARCO for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness,
sufficiency or value of this Agreement or the Transaction Documents, (d) shall
incur no liability under or in respect of any of the Commercial Paper or other
obligations of PARCO under this Agreement or the Transaction Documents and (e)
shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or the
Transaction Documents by acting upon any notice (including notice by telephone),
consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by facsimile)
believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties.
Notwithstanding anything else herein or in the Transaction Documents, it is
agreed that where the Funding Agent may be required under this Agreement or the
Transaction Documents to give notice of any event or condition or to take any
action as a result of the occurrence of any event or the existence of any
condition, the Funding Agent agrees to give such notice or take such action only
to the extent that it has actual knowledge of the occurrence of such event or
the existence of such condition, and shall incur no liability for any failure to
give such notice or take such action in the absence of such knowledge.
