(b)    each Receivable generated by the Originator from and including the Cut-off Date to and including the Purchase and Sale Termination Date (other than any Receivable later contributed pursuant to the second sentence of Section 3.1);

SECTION 2.2    Calculation of Purchase Price.  The “Purchase Price” to be paid to the Originator (or in the case of Contributed Receivables, the amount to be recognized as a capital contribution) for the Receivables that are hereunder purchased from or contributed by, as the case may be, the Originator shall be determined in accordance with the following formula:
	
			
	PP
	=
	OB x FMVD

	where:
	 
	 

	PP
	=
	Purchase Price for each Receivable as calculated on the relevant Payment Date.

	OB
	=
	The Outstanding Balance of such Receivable on the relevant Payment Date.

	FMVD
	=
	Fair Market Value Discount, as measured on such Payment Date, which is equal to the quotient (expressed as percentage) of (a) one divided by (b) the sum of (i) one, plus (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is 6% and the denominator of which is 12.

	 




“Payment Date” means (i) the Closing Date and (ii) each Business Day thereafter that the Originator is open for business.
“Prime Rate” means a per annum rate equal to the “Prime Rate” as published in the “Money Rates” section of The Wall Street Journal or if such information ceases to be published in The Wall Street Journal, such other publication as determined by the Administrator in its reasonable discretion.

PAYMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE
SECTION 3.1    Contribution of Receivables and Initial Purchase Price Payment.  (a) On the Closing Date, UGI shall, and hereby does, irrevocably and absolutely contribute to the capital of the Company Receivables and Related Rights consisting of each Receivable of UGI 


	
			
	 
	5
	 











that existed and was owing to UGI on the Closing Date beginning with the oldest of such Receivables and continuing chronologically thereafter such that the aggregate Outstanding Balance of all such Contributed Receivables shall be not less than $4,000,000.  Notwithstanding anything in  this Agreement to the contrary, UGI shall not be prevented from contributing Receivables to the Company from time to time.  Contributions made in connection with the immediately preceding sentence (i) shall have no effect on the aggregate Purchase Price of any Receivables sold by UGI to the Company on the date of such contribution and (ii) shall not affect the aggregate outstanding balance of any Company Note. 
(b)    On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Company agrees to pay to the Originator the Purchase Price for the purchase to be made from the Originator on the Closing Date partially in cash (in an amount to be agreed between the Company and the Originator and set forth in the initial Purchase Report) and partially by issuing a promissory note in the form of Exhibit B to the Originator with an initial principal balance equal to the remaining Purchase Price (each such promissory note, as it may be amended, supplemented, endorsed or otherwise modified from time to time, together with all promissory notes issued from time to time in substitution therefor or renewal thereof in accordance with the Transaction Documents, each being herein called a “Company Note”).
SECTION 3.2    Subsequent Purchase Price Payments.  On each Payment Date subsequent to the Closing Date, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Company shall pay to the Originator the Purchase Price for the Receivables generated by the Originator on such Payment Date and sold to the Company hereunder:
(a)    First, in cash to the extent the Company has cash available therefor; and
(b)    Second, to the extent any portion of the Purchase Price remains unpaid, the principal amount outstanding under the applicable Company Note shall be increased by an amount equal to such remaining Purchase Price.
The Servicer shall make all appropriate record keeping entries with respect to each of the Company Notes to reflect the foregoing payments and reductions made pursuant to Section 3.3, and in the absence of manifest error the Servicer’s books and records shall constitute rebuttable presumptive evidence of the principal amount of, and accrued interest on, each of the Company Notes at any time.  Furthermore, the Servicer shall hold the Company Notes for the benefit of the Originator.  The Originator hereby irrevocably authorizes the Servicer to mark the Company Notes “CANCELED” and to return such Company Notes to the Company upon the final payment thereof after the occurrence of the Purchase and Sale Termination Date.
SECTION 3.3    Settlement as to Specific Receivables and Dilution.
(a)    If, on the day of purchase or contribution of any Receivable from the Originator hereunder, any of the representations or warranties set forth in Sections 5.4 and 5.12 are not true with respect to such Receivable or as a result of any action or inaction of the Originator, on any subsequent day, any of such representations or warranties set forth in Sections 5.4 and 5.12 are no longer true with respect to such Receivable, then the Purchase Price (or in the 


	
			
	 
	6
	 











case of a Contributed Receivable, the capital contribution with respect to such Receivable (the “Contributed Value”)), with respect to such Receivable shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Outstanding Balance of such Receivable and shall be accounted to the Originator as provided in clause (c) below; provided, that if the Company thereafter receives payment on account of Collections due with respect to such Receivable, the Company promptly shall deliver such funds to the Originator.
(b)    If, on any day, the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable (including any Contributed Receivable) purchased or contributed hereunder is reduced or adjusted as a result of any defective, rejected, returned goods or services, or any discount or other adjustment made by the Originator, the Company or the Servicer or any setoff or dispute between the Originator or the Servicer and an Obligor as indicated on the books of the Company (or, for periods prior to the Closing Date, the books of the Originator), then the Purchase Price or Contributed Value, as the case may be, with respect to such Receivable shall be reduced by the amount of such net reduction and shall be accounted to the Originator as provided in clause (c) below.
(c)    Any reduction in the Purchase Price or Contributed Value of any Receivable pursuant to clause (a) or (b) above shall be applied as a credit for the account of the Company against the Purchase Price of Receivables subsequently purchased by or contributed to the Company from the Originator hereunder; provided, however if there have been no purchases of Receivables from the Originator (or insufficiently large purchases of Receivables) to create a Purchase Price sufficient to so apply such credit: (i) shall be paid in cash to the Company by the Originator in the manner and for application as described in the following proviso, or (ii) shall be deemed to be a payment under, and shall be deducted from the principal amount outstanding under, the Company Note payable to the Originator; against, the amount of such credit shall be paid in cash to the Company by the Originator in the manner and for application as described in the following proviso;
provided, further, that at any time (y) when a Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event exists under the Receivables Purchase Agreement or (z) on or after the Purchase and Sale Termination Date, the amount of any such credit shall be paid by the Originator to the Company by deposit in immediately available funds into the relevant Lock-Box Account for application by the Servicer to the same extent as if Collections of the applicable Receivable in such amount had actually been received on such date.
SECTION 3.4    Reconveyance of Receivables.  In the event that the Originator has paid to the Company the full Outstanding Balance of any Receivable pursuant to Section 3.3, the Company shall reconvey such Receivable to the Originator, without representation or warranty, but free and clear of all liens, security interests, charges, and encumbrances created by the Company.

SECTION 6.4    Substantive Consolidation.  The Originator hereby acknowledges that this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents are being entered into in reliance upon the Company’s identity as a legal entity separate from the Originator and its Affiliates.  Therefore, from and after the date hereof, the Originator shall take all reasonable steps necessary to make it apparent to third Persons that the Company is an entity with assets and liabilities distinct from those of the Originator and any other Person, and is not a division of the Originator, its Affiliates or any other Person.

	17
	 











institutions and other entities and (iii) that the special purpose Subsidiary’s assets are not available to satisfy the obligations of UGI or any Affiliate;
(d)    except as permitted by the Receivables Purchase Agreement or this Agreement, (i) the Originator shall maintain its assets separately from the assets of the Company, and (ii) the Company’s assets, and records relating thereto, have not been, are not, and shall not be, commingled with those of the Originator;
(e)    all of the Company’s business correspondence and other communications shall be conducted in the Company’s own name and on its own stationery;

(o)    the Originator shall not enter into, or be a party to, any transaction with the Company, except in the ordinary course of its business and on terms which are intrinsically fair and not less favorable to it than would be obtained in a comparable arm’s-length transaction with an unrelated third party; and
(p)    the Originator shall not pay the salaries of the Company’s employees, if any.


	
			
	 
	18
	 











The provisions of this Section 6.4 shall survive any termination of this Agreement for one year and one day after the latest of the Facility Termination Date, the date on which no Capital of or Discount in respect of the Purchased Interest shall be outstanding or the date on which all other amounts owed by the Originator under this Agreement or the Receivables Purchase Agreement to the Seller, the Issuer, the Administrator and any other Indemnified Party or Affected Person shall be paid in full.
ARTICLE VII
ADDITIONAL RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS IN 
RESPECT OF RECEIVABLES
SECTION 7.1    Rights of the Company.   The Originator hereby authorizes the Company, the Servicer or their respective designees to take any and all steps in the Originator’s name necessary or desirable, in their respective determination, to collect on behalf of the Company all amounts due under any and all Receivables, including, without limitation, indorsing the name of the Originator on checks and other instruments representing Collections and enforcing such Receivables and the provisions of the related Contracts that concern payment and/or enforcement of rights to payment.
SECTION 7.2    Responsibilities of the Originator.  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding:
(a)    Collection Procedures.  Within 30 days of the Closing Date, the Originator agrees to direct its respective Obligors to make payments of Receivables directly to a post office box related to the relevant Lock-Box Account at a Lock-Box Bank.  The Originator further agrees to transfer any Collections that it receives directly to the Servicer (for the Company’s account) within two (2) Business Days of receipt thereof, and agrees that all such Collections shall be deemed to be received in trust for the Company.
(b)    The Originator shall perform its obligations hereunder, and the exercise by the Company or its designee of its rights hereunder shall not relieve the Originator from such obligations.
(c)    None of the Company, the Servicer or the Administrator shall have any obligation or liability to any Obligor or any other third Person with respect to any Receivables, Contracts related thereto or any other related agreements, nor shall the Company, the Servicer, the Issuer or the Administrator be obligated to perform any of the obligations of the Originator thereunder.
(d)    The Originator hereby grants to the Servicer an irrevocable power of attorney, with full power of substitution, coupled with an interest, to take, upon the occurrence and continuation of a Purchase and Sale Termination Event, in the name of the Originator and on behalf of the Company all steps necessary or advisable to endorse, negotiate or otherwise realize on any writing or other right of any kind held or transmitted by the Originator or transmitted or received by the Company (whether or not from the Originator) in connection with any 


	
			
	 
	19
	 











Receivable and to take all other steps necessary to comply with its obligations as Servicer set forth in Article IV of the Receivables Purchase Agreement.
SECTION 7.3    Further Action Evidencing Purchases.  The Originator agrees that from time to time, at its expense, it will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action that the Servicer may reasonably request in order to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the Receivables and Related Rights purchased by or contributed to the Company hereunder, or to enable the Company to exercise or enforce any of its rights hereunder or under any other Transaction Document.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon the request of the Servicer, the Originator will:
(a)    execute and file such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto or assignments thereof, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or appropriate; and
(b)    mark the master data processing records that evidence or list (i) such Receivables and (ii) related Contracts with the legend set forth in Section 4.1(j).
The Originator hereby authorizes the Company or its designee to file one or more financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto and assignments thereof, relative to all or any of the Receivables and Related Rights now existing or hereafter generated by the Originator.  If the Originator fails to perform any of its agreements or obligations under this Agreement, the Company or its designee may (but shall not be required to) itself perform, or cause the performance of, such agreement or obligation, and the expenses of the Company or its designee incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the Originator as provided in Section 9.1.
SECTION 7.4    Application of Collections.  Any payment by an Obligor in respect of any amount owed by it to the Originator shall, except as otherwise specified by such Obligor or required by applicable law and unless otherwise instructed by the Servicer (with the prior written consent of the Administrator) or the Administrator, be applied as a Collection of any Receivable or Receivables of such Obligor to the extent of any amounts then due and payable thereunder (such application to be made starting with the oldest outstanding Receivable or Receivables) before being applied to any other indebtedness of such Obligor.

	20
	 











(b)    The Originator shall fail to make any payment or deposit to be made by it hereunder when due and such failure shall remain unremedied for two (2) Business Days; or

(d)    The Originator shall fail to perform or observe any other term, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement on its part to be performed or observed and such failure shall remain unremedied for 30 days after written notice thereof shall have been given by the Servicer to the Originator.
SECTION 8.2    Remedies.
(a)    Optional Termination.  Upon the occurrence of a Purchase and Sale Termination Event, the Company (and not the Servicer) shall have the option, by notice to the Originator (with a copy to the Administrator), to declare the Purchase Facility as terminated.

INDEMNIFICATION
SECTION 9.1    Indemnities by the Originator.  Without limiting any other rights which the Company may have hereunder or under applicable law, the Originator hereby agrees to indemnify the Company and each of its officers, directors, employees and agents (each of the foregoing Persons being individually called a “Purchase and Sale Indemnified Party”), forthwith on demand, from and against any and all damages, losses, claims, judgments, liabilities and related costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements (all of the foregoing being collectively called “Purchase and Sale Indemnified Amounts”) awarded against or incurred by any of them arising out of or as a result of the failure of the Originator to perform its obligations under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or arising out of the claims asserted against a Purchase and Sale Indemnified Party relating to the transactions contemplated herein or therein or the use of proceeds thereof or therefrom, excluding, however, (i) Purchase and Sale Indemnified Amounts to the extent resulting from gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Purchase and Sale Indemnified Party, (ii) recourse with 


	
			
	 
	21
	 











respect to any Receivable to the extent that such Receivable is uncollectible on account of insolvency, bankruptcy or lack of creditworthiness of the related Obligor (except as otherwise specifically provided under this Agreement) and (iii) any tax based upon or measured by net income property, or gross receipts.  Without limiting the foregoing, the Originator shall  indemnify each Purchase and Sale Indemnified Party for Purchase and Sale Indemnified Amounts relating to or resulting from:
(a)    the transfer by the Originator of an interest in any Receivable to any Person other than the Company;
(b)    the breach of any representation or warranty made by the Originator (or any of its officers) under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or any written information or report delivered by the Originator pursuant hereto or thereto, which shall have been false or incorrect in any respect when made or deemed made;
(c)    the failure by the Originator to comply with any applicable law, rule or regulation with respect to any Receivable generated by the Originator or the related Contract, or the nonconformity of any Receivable generated by the Originator or the related Contract with any such applicable law, rule or regulation;
(d)    the failure to vest and maintain vested in the Company an ownership interest in the Receivables generated by the Originator free and clear of any Adverse Claim, other than an Adverse Claim arising solely as a result of an act of the Company, the Issuer or the Administrator whether existing at the time of the purchase or contribution of such Receivables or at any time thereafter;
(e)    the failure to file, or any delay in filing, financing statements or other similar instruments or documents under the UCC of any applicable jurisdiction or other applicable laws with respect to any Receivables or purported Receivables generated by the Originator, whether at the time of any purchase or contribution or at any subsequent time;
(f)    any dispute, claim, offset or defense (other than discharge in bankruptcy) of the Obligor to the payment of any Receivable or purported Receivable generated by the Originator (including, without limitation, a defense based on such Receivable’s or the related Contract’s 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 services related to any such Receivable or the furnishing of or failure to furnish such services;
(g)    any product liability claim arising out of or in connection with services that are the subject of any Receivable generated by the Originator; and
(h)    any tax or governmental fee or charge (other than any tax excluded pursuant to clause (iii) in the proviso to the preceding sentence), all interest and penalties thereon or with respect thereto, and all out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel in defending against the same, which may arise by reason of the 


	
			
	 
	22
	 











purchase or ownership of the Receivables generated by the Originator or any Related Security connected with any such Receivables.
If for any reason the indemnification provided above in this Section 9.1 is unavailable to a Purchase and Sale Indemnified Party or is insufficient to hold such Purchase and Sale Indemnified Party harmless, then the Originator, severally and for itself,  shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Purchase and Sale Indemnified Party to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law.

benefit of the Senior Interest Holders) until the Senior Interests shall have been paid and performed in full and in cash; and (iii) Holder hereby irrevocably agrees that the Issuer (or the Administrator acting on the Issuer’s behalf), in the name of Holder or otherwise, may demand, sue for, collect, receive and receipt for any and all such payments or distributions, and file, prove and vote or consent in any such Bankruptcy Proceedings with respect to any and all claims of Holder relating to this Company Note, in each case until the Senior Interests shall have been paid and performed in full and in cash;
(c)    In the event that Holder receives any payment or other distribution of any kind or character from the Company or from any other source whatsoever, in respect of this Company Note, other than as expressly permitted by the terms of this Company Note, such payment or other distribution shall be received in trust for the Senior Interest Holders and shall be turned over by Holder to the Administrator (for the benefit of the Senior Interest Holders) forthwith.  Holder will mark its books and records so as clearly to indicate that this Company Note is subordinated in accordance with the terms hereof.  All payments and distributions received by the Administrator in respect of this Company Note, to the extent received in or converted into cash, may be applied by the Administrator (for the benefit of the Senior Interest Holders) first to the payment of any and all expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses) paid or incurred by the Senior Interest Holders in enforcing these Subordination Provisions, or in endeavoring to collect or realize upon this Company Note, and any balance thereof shall, solely as between the Originator and the Senior Interest Holders, be applied by the Administrator (in the order of application set forth in Section 1.4(d)(ii) of the Receivables Purchase Agreement) toward the payment of the Senior Interests; but as between the Company and its creditors, no such payments or distributions of any kind or character shall be deemed to be payments or distributions in respect of the Senior Interests;

(g)    Holder shall not, without the advance written consent of the Administrator and the Issuer, commence, or join with any other Person in commencing, any Bankruptcy Proceedings with respect to the Company until at least one year and one day shall have passed since the Senior Interests shall have been paid and performed in full and in cash;

(i)    Each of the Senior Interest Holders may, from time to time, at its sole discretion, without notice to Holder, 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 Interests; (ii) retain or obtain the primary or secondary obligations of any other obligor or obligors with respect to any of the Senior Interests; (iii) extend or renew for one or more periods (whether or not longer than the original period), alter or exchange any of the Senior Interests, or release or compromise any obligation of any nature with respect to any of the Senior Interests; (iv) amend, supplement, amend and restate, or otherwise modify any Transaction Document; and (v) 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 Interests, or extend or renew for one or more periods (whether or not longer than the original period), or release, compromise, alter or exchange any obligations of any nature of any obligor with respect to any such rights or property;
(j)    Holder hereby waives: (i) notice of acceptance of these Subordination Provisions by any of the Senior Interest Holders; (ii) notice of the existence, creation, non-payment or non-performance of all or any of the Senior Interests; and (iii) all diligence in enforcement, collection or protection of, or realization upon, the Senior Interests, or any thereof, or any security therefor;
(k)    Each of the Senior Interest Holders may, from time to time, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Transaction Documents to which such Persons are party, but without notice to Holder, assign or transfer any or all of the Senior Interests, or any interest therein; and, notwithstanding any such assignment or transfer or any subsequent assignment or transfer thereof, such Senior Interests shall be and remain Senior Interests for the purposes of these Subordination Provisions, and every immediate and successive assignee or transferee of any of the Senior Interests or of any interest of such assignee or transferee in the Senior Interests shall be 


	
			
	 
	 
	 











entitled to the benefits of these Subordination Provisions to the same extent as if such assignee or transferee were the assignor or transferor; and
(l)    These Subordination Provisions constitute a continuing offer from the holder of this Company Note to all Persons who become the holders of, or who continue to hold, Senior Interests; and these Subordination Provisions are made for the benefit of the Senior Interest Holders, and the Administrator may proceed to enforce such provisions on behalf of each of such Persons.
10.    General.  No failure or delay on the part of the Originator in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power or right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right.  No amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent with respect to, any provision of this Company Note shall in any event be effective unless (i) the same shall be in writing and signed and delivered by the Company and Holder and (ii) all consents required for such actions under the Transaction Documents shall have been received by the appropriate Persons.
11.    Maximum Interest.  Notwithstanding anything in this Company Note to the contrary, the Company shall never be required to pay unearned interest on any amount outstanding hereunder and shall never be required to pay interest on the principal amount outstanding hereunder at a rate in excess of the maximum interest rate that may be contracted for, charged or received under applicable federal or state law (such maximum rate being herein called the “Highest Lawful Rate”).  If the effective rate of interest which would otherwise by payable under this Company Note would exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, or if the holder of this Company Note shall receive any unearned interest or shall receive monies that are deemed to constitute interest which would increase the effective rate of interest payable by the Company under this Company Note to a rate in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then (i) the amount of interest which would otherwise by payable by the Company under this Company Note shall be reduced to the amount allowed by applicable law, and (ii) any unearned interest paid by the Company or any interest paid by the Company in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate shall be refunded to the Company.  Without limitation of the foregoing, all calculations of the rate of interest contracted for, charged or received by the Originator under this Company Note that are made for the purpose of determining whether such rate exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to the Originator (such Highest Lawful Rate being herein called the “Originator’s Maximum Permissible Rate”) shall be made, to the extent permitted by usury laws applicable to the Originator (now or hereafter enacted), by amortizing, prorating and spreading in equal parts during the actual period during which any amount has been outstanding hereunder all interest at any time contracted for, charged or received by the Originator in connection herewith.  If at any time and from time to time (i) the amount of interest payable to the Originator on any date shall be computed at the Originator’s Maximum Permissible Rate pursuant to the provisions of the foregoing sentence and (ii) in respect of any subsequent interest computation period the amount of interest otherwise payable to the Originator would be less than the amount of interest payable to the Originator computed at the Originator’s Maximum Permissible Rate, then the amount of interest payable to the Originator in respect of such subsequent interest computation period shall continue to be computed at the Originator’s Maximum Permissible Rate until the total amount of 


	
			
	 
	 
	 











interest payable to the Originator shall equal the total amount of interest which would have been payable to the Originator if the total amount of interest had been computed without giving effect to the provisions of the foregoing sentence.
12.    No Negotiation. This Company Note is not negotiable except that is may be assigned to any Affiliate of the Originator.
13.    GOVERNING LAW.   THIS COMPANY NOTE HAS BEEN DELIVERED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK, AND SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A CONTRACT MADE UNDER AND GOVERNED BY THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
14.    Captions.  Paragraph captions used in this Company Note are for convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of any provision of this Company Note.

Each of the Seller and UGI hereby acknowledges that the Purchasers, the Issuer and the Administrator are entering into the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents in reliance upon the Seller’s identity as a legal entity separate from UGI and its Affiliates. Therefore, from and after the date hereof, each of the 


	
			
	 
	 
	 








 





Seller and UGI shall take all steps specifically required by the Agreement or reasonably required by the Administrator to continue the Seller’s identity as a separate legal entity and to make it apparent to third Persons that the Seller is an entity with assets and liabilities distinct from those of UGI and any other Person, and is not a division of UGI, its Affiliates or any other Person. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and in addition to and consistent with the other covenants set forth herein, each of the Seller and UGI shall take such actions as shall be required in order that:

The certificate of incorporation of the Seller shall provide that: (i) the Seller’s Board of Directors shall not approve, or take any other action to cause the filing of, a voluntary bankruptcy petition with respect to the Seller unless the Independent Director shall approve the taking of such action in writing before the taking of such action, and (ii) such provision cannot be amended without the prior written consent of the Independent Director;
(d)    The Independent Director shall not at any time serve as a trustee in bankruptcy for the Seller, UGI or any Affiliate thereof;
(e)    Any employee, consultant or agent of the Seller will be compensated from the Seller’s funds for services provided to the Seller.

(f)    The Seller will contract with the Servicer to perform for the Seller all operations required on a daily basis to service the Receivables Pool. The Seller will pay the Servicer the Servicing Fee pursuant hereto.

To the extent, if any, that the Seller (or any Affiliate thereof) shares items of expenses not reflected in the Servicing Fee or the manager’s fee, such as legal, auditing and other professional services, such expenses will be allocated to the extent practical on the basis of actual use or the value of services rendered, and otherwise on a basis reasonably related to the actual use or the value of services rendered; it being understood

(j)    All financial statements of UGI or any Affiliate thereof that are consolidated to include Seller will contain detailed notes clearly stating that: (i) a special purpose corporation exists as a Subsidiary of UGI, (ii) the Originator has sold receivables and other related assets to such special purpose Subsidiary that, in turn, has sold undivided interests therein to certain financial institutions and other entities and (iii) that the special purpose Subsidiary’s assets are not available to satisfy the obligations of UGI, the Performance Guarantor or any Affiliate;
(k)    The Seller’s assets will be maintained in a manner that facilitates their identification and segregation from those of UGI or any Affiliate thereof;
(l)    The Seller will strictly observe corporate formalities in its dealings with UGI or any Affiliate thereof, and funds or other assets of the Seller will not be commingled with those of UGI or any Affiliate thereof except as permitted by the Agreement in connection with servicing the Pool Receivables. The Seller shall not maintain joint bank accounts or other depository accounts to which UGI or any Affiliate thereof (other than UGI in its capacity of Servicer) has independent access.  The Seller is not named, and has not entered into any agreement to be named, directly or indirectly, as a direct or contingent beneficiary or loss payee on any insurance policy (other than directors and officers liability and credit insurance policies) with respect to any loss relating to the property of UGI or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate of UGI. The Seller will pay to the appropriate Affiliate the marginal increase or, in the absence of such increase, the market amount of its portion of the premium payable with respect to any insurance policy that covers the Seller and such Affiliate;
(m)    The Seller will maintain arm’s-length relationships with UGI (and any Affiliate thereof). Any Person that renders or otherwise furnishes services to the Seller will be compensated by the Seller at market rates for such services it renders or otherwise furnishes to the Seller. Neither the Seller nor UGI will be or will hold itself out to be responsible for the debts of the other or the decisions or actions respecting the daily business and affairs of the other. The Seller and UGI will immediately correct any known misrepresentation with respect to the foregoing, and they will not operate or purport to operate as an integrated single economic unit with respect to each other or in their dealing with any other entity; and
