                 Amended and Restated Receivables Sale Agreement


            (b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement
(including, without limitation, Article III), on the Effective Date and on the
date of creation of each newly created Receivable (but only so long as no Early

title and interest in and to (i) in the case of the Effective Date, all then
existing Receivables originated by such Seller, all Related Property,
Collections, all rights (including rescission, replevin or reclamation) in
respect of such Receivables originated by such Seller and all proceeds or

all Related Property, Collections, all rights (including rescission, replevin or

respect of any of the foregoing shall be considered to be part of the assets
that have been sold, transferred, assigned, set over and otherwise conveyed to

Seller or any other Person. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, to
the extent any Seller shall not have received payment from the Company of the

provided herein. The foregoing sale, assignment, transfer and conveyance does
not constitute and is not intended to result in the creation or assumption by
the Company of any obligation of the Sellers or any other Person in connection
with the Receivables, the other Receivable Assets or any agreement or instrument
relating thereto, including any obligation to any Obligor. Although it is the
intent of the parties to this Agreement that the conveyance of the Sellers'
right, title and interest in, to and under the Receivables, the Related
Property, Collections, all rights (including rescission, replevin or
reclamation) in respect of the Receivables and all proceeds or payments in
respect of any of the foregoing pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute
purchases and sales and not loans, in the event that any such conveyance is
deemed to be a loan, it is the intent of the parties to this Agreement that each
Seller hereby grant to the Company a perfected first priority security interest
in all of such Seller's present and future right, title and interest in, to and
under the Receivables, the Related Property, all Collections, all rights
(including rescission, replevin or reclamation) relating to any Receivable
originated by such Seller or arising therefrom and all proceeds or payments in
respect of any of the foregoing and that this Agreement shall constitute a
security agreement under applicable law in favor of the Company.

            (d) In connection with the foregoing conveyances, each Seller agrees
to record and file, or cause to be recorded and filed, at its own expense,
financing statements (and continuation statements with respect to such financing
statements when applicable), (i) with respect to the Receivables originated by
such Seller now existing and hereafter acquired pursuant to this Agreement by
the Company from such Seller and (ii) with respect to any other Receivable
Assets for which a security interest may be perfected under the relevant UCC,
legislation or similar statute by such filing, in each case meeting the
requirements of applicable law in such manner and in such jurisdictions as are
necessary to perfect and maintain

cause to be indicated on the computer files and other physical records (but not
including individual invoices or individual collection files) relating to such
Receivables and any such other receivables (by means of a general legend that
will automatically appear at or near the beginning of any screen, list or

such screen, list or print-out as a receivable not so sold, transferred,
assigned and conveyed, all Receivables (and any such other receivables) included

similar related property) have been sold, transferred, assigned and conveyed to
the Company in accordance with this Agreement and (ii) deliver or transmit or
cause to be delivered or transmitted to the Company a computer tape, diskette or

other Receivable Assets after the Payment Date relating thereto; provided that
the foregoing shall not be interpreted to limit the right of the Company herein

            SECTION 2.05. Rebates, Adjustments, Returns, Reductions and

therein with respect to any Receivable sold to the Company or any Receivable
encompassed by the representation or warranty under subsection 4.02(c) is
determined not to be an Eligible Receivable as of its date of purchase, (ii)
there is a breach of any covenant under Section 6.01 with respect to any
Receivable or (iii) the Company's interest in any Receivable is not a first
priority perfected ownership or security interest at any time as a result of any
action taken by, or the failure to take action by, a Seller (each event referred
to in clause (i), (ii) and (iii) of this subsection 2.06(a) shall be referred to
herein as an "Ineligibility Event" and any Receivable as to which an
Ineligibility Event applies shall be referred to herein as an "Ineligible
Receivable"), then the Seller that originated such Receivable agrees to pay to
the Company, upon the request of the Company or such Seller obtaining knowledge
thereof, an amount (the "Adjustment Amount") equal to the

                                                                              19
                 Amended and Restated Receivables Sale Agreement


Principal Amount of such Receivable (whether the Company paid the related
Purchase Price in cash or otherwise) less Collections received by the Company in
respect of such Receivable. Such payment shall be made on or prior to the 30th
day after the day the Company requests such payment or such Seller obtains
knowledge thereof (except that if such day is not a Business Day, then such
payment shall be made on the Business Day immediately succeeding such day);
provided that in the event that (x) a Purchase Termination Event with respect to
such Seller has occurred and is continuing or (y) the Company shall be required
to make a payment in respect of such Receivable pursuant to Section 2.05 of the
Pooling Agreement and the Company has insufficient funds to make such payment,
such Seller shall make such payment immediately. Any payment by such Seller
pursuant to this subsection 2.06(a) is referred to as a "Seller Adjustment
Payment". If, on or prior to such 30th day (or the Business Day immediately
succeeding such 30th day, as applicable), a Seller shall make a Seller
Adjustment Payment in respect of any such Ineligible Receivable, then the
Company shall have no further remedy against such Seller in respect of the
Ineligibility Event with respect to such Receivable. Upon a Seller Adjustment
Payment, the Company shall automatically agree to pay to the appropriate Seller
all Collections received with respect to such Ineligible Receivable.

            (b) Special Indemnification. In addition to its obligations under

the Company from any loss, liability, expense, damage or injury which may at any
time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Company in any way
relating to or arising out of (i) any Eligible Receivable originated by such
Seller becoming subject to any defense, dispute, offset or counterclaim of any
kind (other than as expressly permitted by this Agreement or the Pooling
Agreement) or (ii) such Seller breaching any covenant contained in Section 5.02,
5.08, 5.09, 5.10, 6.01, 6.02, 6.03, 6.04, 6.05, 6.09 or 6.10 with respect to any
Receivable originated by it (each of the

                 Amended and Restated Receivables Sale Agreement


foregoing events or circumstances being an "Indemnification Event"), and such
Receivable (or a portion thereof) ceasing to be an Eligible Receivable on the
date on which such Indemnification Event occurs. The amount of such
indemnification shall be equal to the Principal Amount of such Receivable
(whether the Company paid the related Purchase Price in cash or otherwise) less
Collections received by the Company in respect of such Receivable. Such payment
shall be made on or prior to the 30th Business Day after the day the Company
requests such payment or such Seller obtains knowledge thereof unless such
Indemnification Event shall have been cured on or before such 30th Business Day;
provided, however, that in the event that (x) a Purchase Termination Event with
respect to such Seller has occurred and is continuing or (y) the Company shall
be required to make a payment with respect to such Receivable pursuant to
Section 2.05 of the Pooling Agreement and the Company has insufficient funds to
make such a payment, such Seller shall make such payment immediately. If, on or
prior to such 30th Business Day, such Seller shall make such payment, then the
Company shall have no further remedy against such Seller in respect of such
Indemnification Event. Any payment by such Seller pursuant to this subsection
2.06(b) is referred to as a "Seller Indemnification Payment". Upon a Seller
Indemnification Payment, the Company shall automatically agree to pay to the
appropriate Seller all Collections with respect to the Receivable in respect of
which a Seller Indemnification Payment is made.

            SECTION 2.07. Certain Charges. Each of the Sellers and the Company
agree that late charge revenue, reversals of discounts, other fees and charges
and other similar items, whenever created, accrued in respect of Purchased

            SECTION 2.08. Certain Allocations. Each Seller hereby agrees that,
following the occurrence of an Early Termination, all Collections and other
proceeds received in respect of Receivables generated by the Sellers shall be

Company; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Seller
can attribute a Collection to a specific Obligor and a specific Receivable, then
such Collection shall be applied to pay such Receivable of such Obligor.

                 Amended and Restated Receivables Sale Agreement


with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code and the regulations and

in contemplation of the occurrence thereof. Both prior to and after giving
effect to the transactions occurring on the Effective Date and after giving
effect to each subsequent transaction contemplated hereunder, (i) the fair value
of the assets of such Seller at a fair valuation will exceed the debts and
liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, of such Seller; (ii) the
present fair salable value of the property of such Seller will be greater than
the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of such Seller on
its debts and other liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such
debts and other liabilities become absolute and matured; (iii) such Seller will
be able to pay its debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise,
as such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured; and (iv) such Seller
will not have unreasonably small capital with which to conduct the business in
which it is engaged as such business is now conducted and is proposed to be
conducted. For all purposes of clauses (i) through (iv) above, the amount of
contingent liabilities at any time shall be computed as the amount that, in the
light of all the facts and circumstances existing at such time, represents the
amount that can reasonably be expected to become an actual or matured liability.
Such Seller does not intend to, nor does it believe that it will, incur debts
<PAGE>

                                                                              33
                 Amended and Restated Receivables Sale Agreement

Purchase Termination Event or Potential Purchase Termination Event with respect
to such Seller has occurred and is continuing.

            (s) No Fraudulent Transfer. Such Seller is not entering into this
Agreement with the intent (whether actual or constructive) to hinder, delay, or
defraud its present or future creditors and is receiving reasonably equivalent
value and fair consideration for the Receivables originated by it being
transferred hereunder.

            (t) Liabilities. Other than the liabilities, commitments or
obligations (whether absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise) arising under
or in respect of the Transaction Documents, the Credit Agreement, the
Subordinated Notes or any documents executed in connection with any of the
foregoing, such Seller does not have any liabilities, commitments or obligations
(whether absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise), whether due or to become
due which would be reasonably likely to have a Seller Material Adverse Effect.

            (u) Collection Procedures. Such Seller has in place procedures
pursuant to the Transaction Documents which are either necessary or advisable to
ensure the timely collection of Receivables originated by it.

            (v) Ownership. Except in the case of Furnishings International Inc.,

represents and warrants to the Company on each Payment Date that with respect to
the Receivables originated by it being paid for as of such date:

            (a) Receivables Description. As of the Cut-Off Date, the computer
      tape, diskette or data transmission delivered or transmitted pursuant to
      Section 2.01(e) sets forth in all material respects an accurate and
      complete listing of all Receivables sold to the Company as of the Cut-Off
      Date and the information contained therein in accordance with Schedule 2
      with respect to each such Receivable is true and correct as of the Cut-Off
      Date. As of the Cut-Off Date, the aggregate amount of Receivables owned by
      the Sellers is accurately set forth on such computer tape, diskette or
      data transmission.

            (b) No Liens. Each Receivable existing on the Effective Date or, in
      the case of Receivables sold to the Company after the Effective Date, on
      the date that each such Receivable shall have been sold to the Company,
      has been conveyed to the Company free and clear of any Liens, except for
      Permitted Liens specified in clause (i) of the definition thereof.

            (c) Eligible Receivable. On the Effective Date, each Receivable that
      is represented to be an Eligible Receivable sold to the Company on such
      date is an Eligible Receivable on the Effective Date and, in the case of
      Receivables sold to the Company after the Effective Date, each such
      Receivable that is represented to be an Eligible Receivable sold to the
      Company on such later date is an Eligible Receivable on such later date.

            (d) Filings. On or prior to the Effective Date, all filings and
      other acts necessary (including but not limited to all filings and other
      acts necessary or advisable under the UCC) shall have been made or
      performed in order to grant the Company on the

      Effective Date a first priority perfected ownership or security interest
      in respect of all Receivables.

            SECTION 4.03. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The

            (a) Organization; Powers. The Company (i) is a corporation duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its organization, (ii) has all requisite power and authority to
own its property and assets and to carry on its business as now conducted and as
proposed to be conducted, (iii) is qualified to do business in, and is in good
standing in, every jurisdiction where the nature of its business so requires,
except where the failure so to qualify would not have a Company Material Adverse
Effect and (iv) has the corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and
perform its obligations under each of the Transaction Documents and each other
agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby to which it is or will be
a party.

            (b) Authorization. The execution, delivery and performance by the
Company of each of the Transactions (i) have been duly authorized by all
requisite corporate and, if required, stockholder action and (ii) will not (A)
violate (1) any Requirement of Law or (2) any provision of any Transaction
Document or any other material Contractual Obligation to which the Company is a
party or by which it or any of its property is or may be bound, (B) be in
conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute (alone or with notice or
lapse of time or both) a default under, or give rise to any right to accelerate
or to require the pre-payment, repurchase or redemption of any obligation under
any Transaction Document or any other material Contractual Obligation or (C)
result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon or with respect to any

                 Amended and Restated Receivables Sale Agreement


            (c) Enforceability. This Agreement has been duly executed and
delivered by the Company and constitutes, and each other Transaction Document to
which the Company is a party when executed and delivered by the Company will
constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable
against the Company in accordance with its respective terms, subject (a) as to
enforcement of remedies, to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium and other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights
generally, from time to time in effect and (b) to general principles of equity
whether enforcement is sought by a proceeding in equity or at law.

            (d) Accounting Treatment. The Company will not prepare any financial
statements that shall account for the transactions contemplated hereby, nor will
it in any other respect (other than for tax purposes) account for the
transactions contemplated hereby, in a manner that is inconsistent with the
Company's ownership interest in the Receivables.

                 Amended and Restated Receivables Sale Agreement


      Seller stating that, to the knowledge of such Responsible Officer (after
      due inquiry), such Seller during such period has observed or performed all
      of its covenants and other agreements, and satisfied every condition,
      contained in the Sale Documents to which it is a party to be observed,
      performed or satisfied by it, and that such Responsible Officer has
      obtained no knowledge of any Purchase Termination Event or Potential
      Purchase Termination Event except as specified in such certificate; and

            (b) promptly, such additional financial and other information as the

                 Amended and Restated Receivables Sale Agreement


will not be diverted to the Company, nor will such funds be commingled with the
funds of the Company;

            (ii) To the extent that it shares any officers or other employees

entered into, shall be only on an arm's length basis;

            (iv) Maintain office space separate from the office space of the
Company (but which may be located at the same address as the Company). To the
extent that it and the Company have offices in the same location, there shall be
a fair and appropriate allocation of overhead costs between them, and each shall
bear its fair share of such expenses;

            (v) Issue financial statements separate from any financial
statements issued by the Company;

            (vi) Not assume or guarantee any of the liabilities of the Company;

                 Amended and Restated Receivables Sale Agreement


            (vii) Take, or refrain from taking, as the case may be, all other
actions that are necessary to be taken or not to be taken in order (x) to ensure

described in such provisions that are applicable to it.

            SECTION 5.05. Inspection of Property; Books and Records;

Agency shall be notified of any such changes in location and such location shall
not be changed to a state which is within the Tenth Circuit unless it delivers

discharge or otherwise satisfy at or before maturity or before they become

where the amount or validity thereof is currently being contested in good faith

thereto have been provided on its books or except where the failure to so pay,
discharge or otherwise satisfy such obligations would not have a Seller Material
Adverse Effect. Such Seller shall defend the right, title and interest of the
Company in, to and under the Receivables originated by it and the other
Receivable Assets, whether now existing or hereafter created, against all claims
of third parties claiming through such Seller. Such Seller will duly fulfill all
obligations on its part to be fulfilled under or in connection with each
Receivable originated by it and will do nothing to impair the rights of the
Company in such Receivable.

            SECTION 5.09. Collections. Instruct each Obligor to make payments in
respect of its Receivables to a Lockbox or a Lockbox Account or by wire transfer

      thereof, to the knowledge of such officer, that no Purchase Termination
      Event has occurred and is continuing or if one has so occurred, specifying
      the nature and extent thereof and any corrective action taken or proposed
      to be taken with respect thereto;

      documents, records or reports regarding or with respect to the Purchased
      Receivables of such Seller, as the Company may from time to time
      reasonably request;

            (d) promptly after a Responsible Officer of such Seller obtains
      knowledge of the occurrence thereof, written notice of any event of
      default or default under any other Sale Document; and

anything herein to the contrary, (i) such Seller shall perform or cause to be
performed all its obligations under the Policies related to the Purchased
Receivables to the same extent as if such Purchased Receivables had not been
transferred to the Company hereunder, (ii) the exercise by the Company of any of
its rights hereunder shall not relieve such Seller of its obligations with
respect to such Purchased Receivables and (iii) except as provided by law, the
Company shall not have any obligation or liability with respect to any Purchased
Receivables, nor shall the Company be obligated to perform any of the
obligations or duties of such Seller thereunder.

            SECTION 5.13. Assessments. Promptly pay and discharge all taxes,
assessments, levies and other governmental charges imposed on it except such

      will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents,
      and take all further action, that may be necessary in such Seller's
      reasonable judgment or that the Company may reasonably request, in order
      to more fully effect the purposes of

                 Amended and Restated Receivables Sale Agreement


      this Agreement and the transfer of the Receivables hereunder, to protect
      or more fully evidence the Company's right, title and interest in the
      Purchased Receivables, or to enable the Company to exercise or enforce any
      of its rights in respect thereof. Without limiting the generality of the
      foregoing, the Seller will upon the request of the Company (i) execute and
      file such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto, and
      such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or, in the opinion
      of the Company, advisable and (ii) obtain the agreement of any Person
      having a Lien on any Receivables owned by such Seller (other than any Lien
      created or imposed hereunder or under the Pooling Agreement or any
      Permitted Lien) to release such Lien upon the purchase of any such
      Receivables by the Company.

            (b) Such Seller hereby irrevocably authorizes the Company to file
      one or more financing or continuation statements (and other similar
      instruments), and amendments thereto, relative to all or any part of the
      Purchased Receivables and the other Receivable Assets sold or to be sold
      by such Seller without the signature of such Seller to the extent
      permitted by applicable law.

            (c) If such Seller fails to perform any of its agreements or
      obligations under this Agreement, the Company may (but shall not be
      required to) perform, or cause performance of, such agreements or
      obligations, and the expenses of the Company incurred in connection
      therewith shall be payable by such Seller as provided in Section 9.02. The
      Company agrees promptly to notify such Seller after any such performance;
      provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect
      the validity of any such performance.

            Each Seller hereby agrees that, so long as there are any amounts
outstanding with respect to Purchased Receivables originated by it previously
sold by such Seller to the Company or until an Early Termination with respect to
such Seller, whichever is later, such Seller shall not, directly or indirectly:

            SECTION 6.01. Limitations on Transfers of Receivables, Etc. At any
time sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of the Receivables or other
Receivable Assets pursuant to:

            (i) any Lien Creation except for Permitted Liens; or

            (ii) any Investment.

            SECTION 6.02. Extension or Amendment of Receivables. Extend, make

                 Amended and Restated Receivables Sale Agreement


to make any payments with respect to any Receivables other than, in accordance
with Section 5.09, to a Lockbox, a Lockbox Account or by wire transfer to the
Collection Account; provided, however, that, in accordance with Section 2.03 of
the Servicing Agreement, (i) it may terminate any Lockbox Agreements or Lockbox
Accounts and (ii) it may execute additional Lockbox Agreements or Lockbox
Accounts and instruct Obligors to make payments in respect of any Receivables to
such additional accounts; provided, however, upon the satisfaction of the Rating
Agency Condition (or, if no Outstanding Series has been rated by a Rating
Agency, with the consent of the Agent) the Seller may enter into any amendments
or modifications of a Lockbox Agreement that the Seller reasonably deems
necessary to conform such Lockbox Agreement to the cash management system of the
Company or such Seller.

            SECTION 6.04. Change in Name. Change its name, use an additional
name, or change its identity or corporate structure in any manner which would or
might make any financing statement or continuation statement (or other similar
instrument) relating to this Agreement seriously misleading within the meaning
of Section 9-402(7) of the UCC, or impair the perfection of the Company's
interest in any Receivable under any other similar law, without 30 days' prior
written notice to the Company.

            SECTION 6.05. Policies. Make any change or modification (or permit
any change or modification to be made) in any material respect to the Policies,
except (i) if such changes or modifications are necessary under any Requirement
of Law, or (ii) if the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied with respect
thereto; provided, however, that if any change or modification, other than a
change or modification permitted pursuant to clause (i) above, would be
reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect on the interests of the
Investor Certificateholders of a Series which is not rated by a Rating Agency,
the consent of the applicable Agent (or if none, as specified in the related

            SECTION 6.07. Accounting for Purchases. Prepare any financial
statements which shall account for the transactions contemplated hereby (other
than capital contributions and the Seller Note contemplated hereby) in any
manner other than as a sale of the Purchased Receivables originated by such
Seller to the Company or in any other respect account for or treat the
transactions contemplated hereby (including for financial accounting purposes,
except as required by law) (other than capital contributions and the Seller Note
contemplated hereby) in any manner other than as sales of the Purchased
Receivables originated by such Seller to the Company; provided, however, that
this subsection shall not apply for any tax or tax accounting purposes.

            SECTION 6.08. Instruments. Subject to the delivery requirements set
forth in Section 2.01(b) of the Pooling Agreement, take any action to cause any
Receivable not evidenced by an "instrument" (as defined in the UCC as in effect
in the State of New York or other similar statute or legislation) upon
origination to become evidenced by an instrument, except in connection with the
enforcement or collection of an overdue Receivable.

            SECTION 6.09. Ineligible Receivables. Without the prior written
approval of the Company, take any action to cause, or which would permit, a
Receivable that was designated as an Eligible Receivable on the Payment Date
relating to such Receivable to cease to be an Eligible Receivable, except as
otherwise expressly provided by this Agreement.

            SECTION 6.10. Business of the Seller. Fail to maintain and operate

substantially the manner in which it is presently conducted and operated if such
failure would materially adversely affect the interests of the Company under the
Transaction Documents.

      thereof; or

      dismissed, bonded or disclosed; (iii) the Seller shall at its request have
      a decree or an order for relief entered with respect to it or commence a
      voluntary case under any Applicable Insolvency Law now or hereafter in
      effect, or shall consent to the entry of a decree or an order for relief

            (g) a notice of Lien shall have been filed by the PBGC against a
      Seller under Section 412(n) of the Code or Section 302(f) of ERISA for a
      failure to make a required installment or other payment to a plan to which
      Section 412(n) of the Code or Section 302(f) of ERISA applies unless there
      shall have been delivered to the Trustee and the Rating Agencies proof of
      release of such Lien; or

            (h) any Lien in an amount equal to or greater than $1,000,000 has
      been asserted against or imposed on, any real or personal property of a

Sellers shall thereupon automatically terminate without further notice of any
kind, which is hereby waived by the Sellers, (ii) in the case of any Purchase
Termination Event described in paragraph (d), (g), (h) or (i) above, the
obligation of the Company to purchase Receivables from such Seller shall
thereupon automatically terminate without further notice of any kind, which is
hereby waived by such Seller, (iii) in the case of any Purchase Termination
Event described in paragraph (e)(ii) above, the obligation of the Company to
purchase Receivables from such Seller shall thereupon terminate without notice
of any kind, which is hereby waived

                 Amended and Restated Receivables Sale Agreement


by such Seller unless both the Company and such Seller agree in writing that
such event shall not trigger an Early Termination hereunder and (iv) in the case
of any other Purchase Termination Event, so long as such Purchase Termination
Event shall be continuing, the Company may terminate its obligation to purchase
Receivables from such Seller by written notice to such Seller (any termination
pursuant to clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) of this Article VII is herein called
an "Early Termination"); provided, however, that in the event of an involuntary
petition or proceeding as described in paragraphs (d)(i) and (d)(ii) above, the
Company shall not purchase Receivables from such Seller unless such involuntary
petition or proceeding is dismissed, bonded or discharged within 60 days of the
filing of such petition or the commencement of such proceeding.

            SECTION 7.02. Remedies. (a) If a Purchase Termination Event has
occurred and is continuing, the Company (and its assignees) shall have all of
the rights and remedies provided to a secured creditor or a purchaser of
accounts under the UCC by applicable law in respect thereto.

            (b) Such Seller agrees that, upon the occurrence and during the
continuation of a Purchase Termination Event under Section 7.01(d) or (e)(i):

            (i) the Company (and its assignees) shall have the right at any time
      to notify, or require that such Seller at such Seller's expense notify,
      the respective Obligors of the Company's ownership of the Purchased
      Receivables and other Receivable Assets and may direct that payment of all
      amounts due or to become due under the Purchased Receivables be made
      directly to the Company or its designee;

            (ii) the Company (and its assignees) shall have the right to (A) sue
      for collection on any Purchased Receivables or (B) sell any Purchased
      Receivables to any Person for a price that is acceptable to the
<PAGE>

                                                                              52
                 Amended and Restated Receivables Sale Agreement


      Company. If required by the terms of Section 9-504 or 9-505 of the UCC (or
      analogous provisions of any other similar law applicable to the
      Receivables), the Company (and its assignees) may offer to sell any
      Purchased Receivable to any Person, together, at its option, with all
      other Receivables created by the same Obligor. Any Purchased Receivable
      sold hereunder (other than pursuant to the Pooling Agreement) shall cease
      to be a Receivable for all purposes under this Agreement as of the
      effective date of such sale;

            (iii) such Seller shall, upon the Company's written request and at
      such Seller's expense, (A) assemble all of such Seller's documents,
      instruments and other records (including credit files and computer tapes
      or disks) that (1) evidence or will evidence or record Receivables sold by
      such Seller and (2) are otherwise necessary or desirable to effect
      Collections of such Purchased Receivables (collectively, the "Documents")
      and (B) deliver the Documents to the Company or its designee at a place
      designated by the Company. In recognition of such Seller's need to have
      access to any Documents which may be transferred to the Company hereunder,
      whether as a result of its continuing business relationship with any
      Obligor for Receivables purchased hereunder or as a result of its
      responsibilities as a Servicer, the Company hereby grants to such Seller
      an irrevocable license to access the Documents transferred by such Seller
      to the Company and to access any such transferred computer software in
      connection with any activity arising in the ordinary course of such
      Seller's business or in performance of such Seller's duties as a Servicer;
      provided that such Seller shall not disrupt or otherwise interfere with
      the Company's use of and access to the Documents and its computer software
      during such license period;

            (iv) such Seller hereby grants to the Company an irrevocable power
      of attorney (coupled with an interest) to take any and all steps in such
      Seller's

                                                                              53

      name necessary or desirable, in the reasonable opinion of the Company, to
      collect all amounts due under the Purchased Receivables, including,
      without limitation, endorsing such Seller's name on checks and other
      instruments representing Collections, enforcing the Purchased Receivables
      and exercising all rights and remedies in respect thereof; and

            (v) upon written request of the Company, such Seller will (A)
      deliver to the Company all licenses, rights, computer programs, related
      material, computer tapes, disks, cassettes and data necessary for the
      immediate collection of the Purchased Receivables by the Company, with or
      without the participation of such Seller (excluding software licenses
      which by their terms are not permitted to be so delivered; provided that
      such Seller shall use reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of the
      relevant licensor to such delivery) and (B) make such arrangements with
      respect to the collection of the Purchased Receivables as may be
      reasonably required by the Company.

                                   Seller Note

            SECTION 8.01. Seller Note. On the Effective Date, the Company shall
issue to the Sellers a subordinated note substantially in the form of Exhibit A
(as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the "Seller
Note"). The Seller Note will have an initial principal amount equal to the
amount outstanding under that certain seller note issued pursuant to the
Receivables Sale Agreement, dated as of August 5, 1996, among the parties
hereto. The Company has incurred Indebtedness evidenced by the Seller Note and
may continue to incur Indebtedness evidenced by the Seller Note on any date only
(i) if such date is a Payment Date; (ii) in payment to the Sellers of all or a
portion of the Purchase Price (net of such

deductions as provided in Section 2.03(d)) for Receivables and other Receivable
Assets required to be paid for by the Company to the Sellers on such Payment
Date in accordance with Section 2.02; (iii) to the extent that cash was not
available to pay such Purchase Price (net of such deductions) in accordance with
subsections 2.03(b)(i), 2.03(b)(ii) and 2.03(b)(iii) (as applicable); and (iv)
subject, in any event, to Section 8.03. Interest on the principal amount of the
Seller Note (as such principal amount may have been increased pursuant to the
following proviso) shall accrue at One-Month LIBOR plus 2.50% per annum (or, if
less, the "Applicable Percentage" with respect to "Eurodollar Loans" (as each
such term is defined in the Credit Agreement)) from and including the Effective
Date and shall be paid on each Distribution Date with respect to amounts accrued
and not paid as of the last day of the preceding Settlement Period and the
maturity date thereof; provided, however, that, to the maximum extent permitted
by law, accrued interest on the Seller Note which is not so paid shall be added,
at the request of the Sellers, to the principal amount of the Seller Note. The
principal amount of the Seller Note (as such principal amount may have been
increased pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence) shall be payable on
the maturity date of the Seller Note (unless sooner prepaid pursuant to the
terms thereof and of the other Transaction Documents). Each Seller's interest
in, and all payments in respect of, the Seller Note shall be allocated among the
Sellers by the Master Servicer pro-rata in accordance with the amount of
Receivables sold by each such Seller to the Company that are paid for by the
incurrence of debt under the Seller Note. Default in the payment of principal or
interest under the Seller Note shall not constitute a default or event of
default or a Purchase Termination Event hereunder, a Servicer Default under the
Servicing Agreement or an Early Amortization Event under the Pooling Agreement
or any Supplement thereto.

            SECTION 8.02. Restrictions on Transfer of Seller Note. Neither the
Seller Note, nor any right of the Sellers to receive payments thereunder, shall
be assigned, trans-

ferred, exchanged, pledged, hypothecated, participated or otherwise conveyed.

            SECTION 8.03. Discretion; Aggregate Amount. Anything herein to the
contrary notwithstanding, no Seller shall be obligated to accept payment of any
Purchase Price in the form of Indebtedness of the Company under the Seller Note
if, after giving effect to such Indebtedness to be incurred on such date, the
aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness evidenced by the Seller Note,
incurred on or before such Payment Date and outstanding on such Payment Date
(after giving effect to all repayments thereof on or before such Payment Date)
would be more than 50% of the outstanding balance of the Receivables on such
Payment Date, unless such Seller shall be satisfied (and, for purposes hereof,
in the absence of notice to the contrary by such Seller to the Company and the
Trustee, such Seller shall be deemed satisfied) that, in the ordinary course of
its business, the Company will pay the principal of, and interest on, such
Indebtedness in accordance with the terms thereof. The principal amount of
Indebtedness evidenced by the Seller Note incurred on any Payment Date shall
not, in any event, be greater than the excess, if any, of (x) the Purchase Price
for Receivables and other Receivable Assets required to be paid for by the
Company on such Payment Date pursuant to Section 2.03 over (y) the portion of
such Purchase Price paid in cash pursuant to subsections 2.03(b)(i), 2.03(b)(ii)
and 2.03(b)(iii).

which may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the
execution and delivery of, or consummation or administration of any of the
transactions contemplated by, or any amendment, supplement or modification of,
or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, this Agreement and any such
other documents, and (d) to pay, indemnify, and hold the Company harmless from
and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any
kind or nature whatsoever (i) which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by
or asserted against the Company in any way relating to or arising out of this
Agreement or the other Sale Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby
and thereby or in connection herewith or any action taken or omitted by the
Company under or in connection with any of the foregoing (all such other
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits,
costs, expenses and

disbursements being herein called "Indemnified Liabilities") or (ii) which would
not have been imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Company but for
its having acquired the Receivables hereunder; provided, however, that such
indemnity shall not be available to the extent that such Indemnified Liabilities
result from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of the Company; and
provided, further, that such Seller shall have no obligation under this Section
9.02 to the Company with respect to Indemnified Liabilities arising from (i) any
action taken, or omitted to be taken, by a Servicer that is not such Seller
itself or an Affiliate of such Seller, (ii) any action taken by the Trustee or
the Company at the direction of the Trustee in collecting from an Obligor or
(iii) a default by an Obligor with respect to any Purchased Receivable (other
than arising out of (x) any discharge, claim, offset or defense (other than
discharge in bankruptcy of the Obligor) of the Obligor to the payment of any
Purchased Receivable (including, without limitation, a defense based on such
Purchased Receivable not being a legal, valid and binding obligation of such
Obligor enforceable against it in accordance with its terms) or any other claim
resulting from the sale of the merchandise or services related to any such
Purchased Receivable or the furnishing or failure to furnish such merchandise or
services, (y) a failure by such Seller to perform its duties or obligations
under this Agreement or (z) the sale of any Purchased Receivable that is
designated on the applicable Daily Report to be an Eligible Receivable and is
determined to have been at the date of such sale an Ineligible Receivable or any
Purchased Receivable which thereafter becomes subject to a Dilution Adjustment).
The agreements in this Section 9.02 shall survive the collection of all
Receivables, the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all amounts
payable hereunder.

            SECTION 9.03. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Sellers and the Company and their
respective successors (whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise) and
assigns. Each Seller agrees that it will not assign or transfer all

                                                                              58

or any portion of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written
consent of the Company. Each Seller acknowledges that the Company shall assign
all of its rights hereunder to the Trustee. Each Seller consents to such
assignment and agrees that the Trustee, to the extent provided in the Pooling
Agreement, shall be entitled to enforce the terms of this Agreement and the
rights (including, without limitation, the right to grant or withhold any
consent or waiver) of the Company directly against such Seller, whether or not a
Purchase Termination Event or a Potential Purchase Termination Event has
occurred. Each Seller further agrees that, in respect of its obligations
hereunder, it will act at the direction of and in accordance with all requests
and instructions from the Trustee until all amounts due to the Investor
Certificateholders are paid in full. The Trustee, on behalf of the Investor
Certificateholders, shall have the rights of a third-party beneficiary under

            SECTION 9.05. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise
and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Company, any right, remedy, power
or privilege hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single
or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude
any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right,
remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein
provided are cumulative and not exhaustive of any rights, remedies, powers and
privileges provided by law.

prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction,

and the terms and conditions of this Section 9.12, from time to time one or more

                 Amended and Restated Receivables Sale Agreement


Purchased Receivables sold by all Sellers which so cease to be wholly owned
Subsidiaries at such time (together with the aggregate outstanding Principal
Amount of Purchased Receivables sold by all Sellers which have been terminated
pursuant to this Section 9.13 within the preceding 90 days) shall not exceed 10%
of the aggregate outstanding Principal Amount of all Purchased Receivables and
(ii) that no Purchase Termination Event or Potential Purchase Termination Event

party hereto on the 90th day after the date on which there are no amounts
outstanding with respect to Purchased Receivables previously sold by such Seller
to the Company, whether such amounts have been collected or written off in

under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party with respect to Purchased
Receivables previously sold by such Seller to the Company, including, without
limitation, its obligation to direct the deposit of Collections into the

occurred and is continuing, or would result as a result thereof. Any such
request shall specify the minimum aggregate Principal Amount of outstanding
Purchased Receivables sold by the Sellers to be so designated and terminated by

than 30 days after the date of receipt of such designation, as the "Sale
Termination Date" for such designated Sellers. From and after such date, the
Company shall cease buying Receivables and other Receivable Assets from such
Sellers. Each such Seller shall be released as a Seller hereunder and a party
hereto for all purposes and shall cease to be a party hereto on the 90th day
after the date on which there are no amounts outstanding with respect to
Purchased Receivables previously sold by such Seller to the Company, whether
such amounts have been collected or written off in accordance with the Policies
of such Seller. Prior to such date, such Seller shall be obligated to perform
its servicing and other obligations hereunder and under the Transaction
Documents to which it is a party with respect to Purchased Receivables
previously sold by such Seller to the Company, including, without limitation,
its obligation to direct the deposit of Collections into the appropriate
Lockbox.

            (c) A terminated Seller shall have no obligation to repurchase any

obligations with respect to such Receivables (including making any Seller
Dilution Adjustment Payments, Seller Adjustment Payments and Seller
Indemnification Payments) to the extent such obligations arise hereunder.

            SECTION 9.14. No Bankruptcy Petition. Each Seller, by entering into

instituting against, the Company any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement,

                 Amended and Restated Receivables Sale Agreement


to purchase Receivables from all the Sellers hereunder shall have terminated and
(b) all Receivables purchased hereunder have been collected, and the proceeds
thereof turned over to the Company and all other amounts owing to the Company
hereunder shall have been paid in full or, if Receivables sold hereunder have
not been collected, such Receivables have become Defaulted Receivables and the
Company shall have completed its collection efforts in respect thereto;
provided, however, that the indemnities of the Sellers to the Company set forth
in this Agreement shall survive such termination and provided, further that, to
the extent any amounts remain due and owing to the Company hereunder, the
Company shall remain entitled to receive any collections on Receivables sold
hereunder which have become Defaulted Receivables after it shall have completed
its collection efforts in respect thereof.

            SECTION 9.16. Construction of Agreement. (a) Each Seller hereby
grants to the Company a security interest in all of such Seller's right, title
and interest in, to and under the Receivables originated by it and other
Receivable Assets now existing and hereafter created, all monies due or to
become due and all amounts received with respect thereto and all "proceeds"
thereof (including Recoveries), to secure all of such Seller's obligations
hereunder.

            (b) This Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under
applicable law.

the Holders (as defined in the

                                                                               3


Pooling Agreement) howsoever created, arising or evidenced, whether direct or
indirect, absolute or contingent, now or hereafter existing, or due or to become
due (the "Senior Obligations") to the extent and in the manner set forth in this
paragraph including each of the following subparts:

            (a) Insolvency Events; Priority of Senior Obligations; Payments Made
      Directly to the Trustee. In the event of any bankruptcy, dissolution,
      winding up, liquidation, readjustment, reorganization or other similar
      event relating to the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, partial
      or complete, and whether in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other
      similar proceedings, or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors,
      or any other marshalling of the assets and liabilities of the Company
      (each an "Insolvency Event") or any sale of all or substantially all the
      assets of the Company (except pursuant to the Pooling Agreement and any
      Supplement thereto),

                  (i) the Senior Obligations shall first be paid and performed
            in full and in cash before the Sellers shall be entitled to receive
            and to retain any payment or distribution from or with the Proceeds
            in respect of the Seller Subordinated Debt, whether of principal,
            interest or otherwise; and

                  (ii) any payment or distribution from or with the Proceeds of
            any kind (including cash or property arising from Proceeds which may
            be payable or deliverable by reason of the payment of any other
            indebtedness of the Company being subordinated to the payment of the
            Seller Subordinated Debt) in respect of the Seller Subordinated Debt
            that otherwise would be payable or deliverable with respect to the
            Seller Subordinated Debt directly or indirectly, by set-off or in
            any other manner to the Sellers, shall be paid or delivered by the
            Person making such
<PAGE>

                                                                               4


            payment or delivery (whether a trustee in bankruptcy, a receiver,
            custodian, liquidating trustee or otherwise) directly to the Trustee
            on behalf of the Holders for application to (in the case of cash) or
            as collateral for (in the case of noncash property or securities)
            the payment of the Senior Obligations until the Senior Obligations
            shall have been paid in full in cash.

            (b) Payments Received by Sellers. In the event that any Seller
      receives any payment or other distribution of any kind or character
      arising from Proceeds from the Company or from any other source whatsoever
      in respect of the Seller Subordinated Debt after the commencement of an
      Insolvency Event, such payment or other distribution shall be deemed to be
      property of the Holders and shall be received and held by such Seller in
      trust for the Trustee on behalf of the Holders and shall be turned over by
      such Seller to the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders forthwith, until
      all Senior Obligations have been paid and performed in full and in cash.

            (c) Application of Payments. All payments and distributions arising
      from Proceeds received by the Trustee in respect of the Seller
      Subordinated Debt, to the extent received in or converted into cash, may
      be applied by the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders (i) first to the
      payment of any and all reasonable expenses (including reasonable
      attorneys' fees and legal expenses) paid or incurred by the Trustee or any
      Holder in enforcing these Subordination Provisions, or in endeavoring to
      collect or realize upon the Seller Subordinated Debt, and (ii) any balance
      remaining therefrom shall be applied by the Trustee toward the payment of
      the Senior Obligations in a manner determined by the Trustee to be in
      accordance with the Pooling Agreement.

                                                                               5


            (d) Sellers' Rights of Subrogation. Each Seller agrees that no
      payment or distribution to Holders pursuant to these Subordination
      Provisions shall entitle any Seller to exercise any right of subrogation
      in respect thereof until the Senior Obligations shall have been paid in
      full in cash. Each Seller agrees that these Subordination Provisions
      herein shall not be affected by any action, or failure to act, by any
      holder of Senior Obligations which results, or may result, in affecting,
      impairing or extinguishing any right of reimbursement or subrogation or
      other right or remedy of any Seller.

            (e) Company's Obligations Absolute. The provisions of this paragraph
      are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights with
      respect to Proceeds of the Sellers, on the one hand, and the Holders, on
      the other hand. Nothing contained in these provisions or elsewhere in this
      Seller Note is intended to or shall impair, as between the Company, its
      creditors (other than the Holders) and the Sellers, the Company's
      obligation, which is unconditional and absolute, to pay the Seller
      Subordinated Debt as and when the same shall become due and payable in
      accordance with the terms hereof and of the Receivables Sale Agreement or
      to affect the relative rights of the Sellers and creditors of the Company
      (other than the Certificateholders); provided that any payments made by
      the Company pursuant to this subsection shall be made solely from funds
      available to the Company which are not otherwise needed to be applied to
      the payment of any amounts pursuant to any Pooling and Servicing
      Agreements, shall be non-recourse other than with respect to proceeds in
      excess of the proceeds to make such payment, and shall not constitute a
      claim against the Company to the extent that insufficient proceeds exist
      to make such payment.

            (f) Avoided Payments. If, at any time, any payment (in whole or in
      part) made with respect to any
<PAGE>

                                                                               6


      Senior Obligations is rescinded or must be restored or returned by a
      Holder or the Trustee on behalf of the Holders, the provisions of this
      paragraph shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the
      case may be, as though such payment had not been made.

            (g) Subordination Not Affected by Certain Actions of Holders or the
      Trustee. As between the Sellers, on the one hand, and the Holders and the
      Trustee, on the other hand, each of the Holders or the Trustee may, from
      time to time, at its sole discretion, without notice to the Sellers, and
      without waiving any of its rights under these Subordination Provisions,
      take any or all of the following actions: (i) retain or obtain an interest
      in any property to secure any of the Senior Obligations; (ii) extend or
      renew for one or more periods (whether or not longer than the original
      period), alter, increase or exchange any of the Senior Obligations, or
      release or compromise any obligation of any nature with respect to any of
      the Senior Obligations; (iii) amend, supplement, amend and restate, or
      otherwise modify any Transaction Document; and (iv) release its security
      interest in, or surrender, release or permit any substitution or exchange
      for all or any part of any rights or property securing any of the Senior
      Obligations.

            (h) Waiver of Notice. By its acceptance hereof, each Seller hereby
      waives: (i) notice of acceptance of the provisions of this paragraph by
      any of the Holders or the Trustee; (ii) notice of the existence, creation,
      non-payment or non-performance of all or any of the Senior Obligations;
      and (iii) all diligence in enforcement, collection or protection of, or
      realization upon, the Senior Obligations or any security therefor.

            4. Restrictions on Assignment. Neither this Seller Note, nor any
right of the Sellers to receive payments hereunder, shall be assigned,
transferred,
<PAGE>

                                                                               7


exchanged, pledged, hypothecated, participated or otherwise conveyed.

            5. No Bankruptcy Petition. Each Seller covenants and agrees that,
prior to the date which is one year and one day after the date of termination of
the Receivables Sale Agreement pursuant to Section 9.15 thereof, it will not
institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, the Company
any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation
proceedings, or other proceedings under any federal or state bankruptcy or
similar law.

            6. Certain Termination Events. During the continuance of any Early
Amortization Event:

            (a) the Company shall cease making any payments to the Sellers under
      this Seller Note;

            (b) the Trustee (on behalf of the Holders) may demand, sue for,
      collect and receive every payment or distribution of any kind made in
      respect of the Seller Subordinated Debt and file claims and proofs of
      claim and take such other action (including enforcing any security
      interest or other lien securing payment of the Seller Subordinated Debt)
      as the Trustee (on behalf of the Holders) may deem necessary for the
      exercise or enforcement of any of the rights or interests of Holders;
      provided that in the event the Trustee takes such action, it shall apply
      all proceeds first to the payment of costs under this Seller Note, then to
      the payment of the Senior Obligations and any surplus proceeds remaining
      thereafter to be paid over to whosoever may be lawfully entitled thereto;
      and

            (c) each Seller shall promptly take such action as the Trustee (on
      behalf of the Holders) may request (i) to file appropriate claims or
      proofs of claim in respect of the Seller Subordinated Debt; (ii) to
      execute and deliver to the Trustee (on behalf of the
<PAGE>

                                                                               8


      Holders) such powers of attorney, assignments, or other instruments as the
      Trustee may request in order to enable it to enforce any and all claims
      with respect to, and any security interests and other liens securing
      payment of, the Seller Subordinated Debt, and (iii) to collect and receive
      any and all payments or distributions which may be payable or deliverable
      upon or with respect to the Seller Subordinated Debt for account of the
      Trustee (on behalf of the Holders).

            THIS SELLER NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ANY CONFLICT OF LAW
PRINCIPLES.

                                 Amended and Restated Receivables Sale Agreement


                              Discounted Percentage

            All terms defined or referenced in the Receivables Sale Agreement,
the Pooling Agreement or a Supplement and not otherwise defined or referenced
herein are used herein as therein defined or referenced.

The Discounted Percentage applicable to the Receivables purchased on any date
from any Seller shall equal (a) during the initial Accrual Period, 98.50% and
(b) thereafter, the percentage obtained from the following formula:

            100% - (A + B + C + D)

all determined by the Company as of the related Payment Date,

Where

A =   Adjusted Loss Reserve Percentage, which as of such Payment Date will equal
      the ratio obtained by dividing (a) Charged-Off Receivables (net of
      recoveries in respect of Charged-Off Receivables) with respect to such
      Seller during the six-fiscal-month period immediately preceding the
      Settlement Report Date most recently preceding such Payment Date by (b)
      two times the aggregate amount of Collections during the three-
      fiscal-month period immediately preceding the Settlement Report Date most
      recent to such Payment Date with respect to Receivables originated by such
      Seller.

B =   Adjusted Carrying Cost Reserve Percentage, which as of such Payment Date
      will equal the amount obtained by dividing (a) the product of (i) 1.5,
      (ii) Days Sales Outstanding and (iii) the ABR plus 2% by (b) 365.

C =   The Servicing Fee Percentage divided by 360.

D =   Processing Expense Reserve Percentage, which will equal 1/4% and reflects
      the cost of the Company's overhead,

                                                                               2


      including costs of processing the purchase of Receivables and other normal
      operating costs and a reasonable profit margin.

None of the elements of the above-referenced formula, in respect of any purchase
of Receivables, will be adjusted following the related Payment Date.

With respect to each calculation set forth above with respect to a Settlement
Report Date, such calculation as calculated on such Settlement Report Date and
included in the applicable Monthly Settlement Statement shall remain in effect
from and including the related Settlement Report Date to but excluding the
following Settlement Report Date.
