                           (A)      if, after giving effect to such
                  Reinvestment, (1) the Asset Interest would exceed the
                  Allocation Limit, (2) any Purchaser Group Invested Amount
                  shall exceed the related Purchaser Group Limit or (3) the
                  Invested Amount would exceed the Purchase Limit, then the
                  Master Servicer shall not make such Reinvestment, but shall
                  identify and hold in trust for the benefit of the Purchasers,
                  a portion of such Collections which, together with other
                  Collections previously identified and then so held, shall

                  to the Purchase Limit, (y) any Purchaser Group's Purchaser

                  subject to the proviso set forth in Section 5.2, are not
                  satisfied, then the Master Servicer shall not reinvest any of
                  such remaining Collections, but shall identify them and hold
                  them in trust for the benefit of the Purchasers;

                  (iv)     out of the portion of Collections not allocated to

         previously paid; and

                  (v)      pay to the Seller (A) the remaining portion of
         Collections not allocated to the Asset Interest pursuant to clause (i)
         above and (B) the Collections applied to Reinvestment pursuant to
         clause (iii) above.

         (b)      Unreinvested Collections. The Master Servicer shall identify
and hold in trust for the benefit of the Purchasers all Collections which,
pursuant to clause (iii) of Section 1.3(a), may not be reinvested in the Pool
Receivables and Related Assets, provided that unless otherwise requested by any
Purchaser Agent, such Collections need not be held in a segregated account. If,
prior to the date when such Collections are required to be paid to any Purchaser
Agent for the benefit of the related Purchaser pursuant to Section 1.3(c)(iv),
the amount of Collections so identified exceeds the amount, if any, necessary to
reduce (i) the Invested Amount to the Purchase Limit, (ii) each Purchaser
Group's Invested Amount to the related Purchaser Group Limit and (iii) the Asset
Interest to the Allocation Limit, and the conditions precedent to Reinvestment
set forth in clauses (a), (b) and (d) of Section 5.2, subject to the proviso set
forth in Section 5.2, are satisfied, then the Master Servicer shall apply such
Collections (or, if less, a portion of such Collections equal to the amount of
such excess) to the making of a Reinvestment.

         (c)      Payment of Amounts.

the Sale Agreement) owing to the Originators. The Seller may make withdrawals of
such funds only for the purposes of (1) at any time, purchasing Receivables from
an Originator in accordance with the Sale Agreement; (2) on the Settlement Date
for any Collection Period, making payments in accordance with the last sentence
of Section 3.1(c)(ii), and (3) on the Settlement Date for any Collection Period,
if, on the basis of the most recent Information Package or Interim Information
Package, as the case may be, and after giving effect to any payment made to the
Master Servicer on such date pursuant to the last sentence of Section
3.1(c)(ii), (I) the Invested Amount does not exceed the Purchase Limit, (II) no
Purchaser Group Invested Amount exceeds the related Purchaser Group Limit and
(III) the Asset Interest does not exceed the Allocation Limit, and provided that
no Liquidation Event or Unmatured Liquidation

                                        5

<PAGE>

Event shall have occurred and be continuing, repaying principal of the Initial
Seller Notes in accordance with this Agreement and the Sale Agreement.

         SECTION 1.4 ASSET INTEREST.

         (a)      Components of Asset Interest. On any date the Asset Interest
will represent the Investors' undivided percentage ownership interest in all
then outstanding Pool Receivables and all Related Assets with respect to such
Pool Receivables as at such date.

         (b)      Computation of Asset Interest. On any date, the Asset Interest
will be equal to the percentage equivalent of the following fraction:

                                      IA+RR
                                      -----
                                       NPB

      where:

            IA    =    the Invested Amount on the date of such computation;

            RR    =    the Required Reserve on the date of such computation; and

            NPB   =    the Net Pool Balance on the date of such computation;

provided, however, that the Asset Interest during the Liquidation Period shall
equal 100% and shall at no time exceed 100%.

         (c)      Frequency of Computation. The Asset Interest shall be computed
(i) as provided in Section 3.1, as of the Cut-Off Date for each Collection
Period, and (ii) on the Settlement Date following each Reporting Date, after
giving effect to the payments made pursuant to Section 3.1. In addition, at any
time, any Purchaser Agent, on behalf of the related Purchaser, may require the
Master Servicer to provide an interim report (an "Interim Information Package"),
based on the information then available to the Master Servicer, for purposes of
computing the Asset Interest, any Purchaser Group Limit or the Purchase Limit as
of any other date, and the Master Servicer agrees to do so within five (5) (or
three (3), if a Liquidation Event or a Credit Event has occurred and is
continuing) Business Days of its receipt of such Purchaser Agent's request (such
date, the "Interim Reporting Date").

                               COMPUTATIONAL RULES

         SECTION 2.1 SELECTION OF ASSET TRANCHES.

         Each Purchaser Agent shall, from time to time for purposes of computing
Earned Discount on that portion of the Asset Interest funded with Liberty Street
Alternate Fundings or Liquidity Fundings made by the related Purchaser Group, as
the case may be, divide such portion of the Asset Interest into Asset Tranches.
The applicable Earned Discount Rate may be different for each Asset Tranche
funded by a Liquidity Funding or a Liberty Street Alternate Funding, as the case
may be. The related Purchaser Group Invested Amount shall be allocated to each
Asset

                                        6

<PAGE>

Tranche by the related Purchaser Agent, on the related Purchaser's behalf, to
reflect the funding sources for the Asset Interest, so that:

         (a)      there will be a single Asset Tranche equal to the excess of
the related Purchaser Group Invested Amount over the aggregate amount allocated
at such time pursuant to clause (b) below, which Asset Tranche shall reflect the
portion of the Asset Interest funded by Commercial Paper Notes of the related
Purchaser; and

         (b)      there may be one or more Asset Tranches, selected by a
Purchaser Agent, on the related Purchaser's behalf, reflecting the portion or
portions of the Asset Interest funded by outstanding Liberty Street Alternate
Fundings or Liquidity Fundings of such Purchaser Group, as the case may be.

         SECTION 2.2 COMPUTATION OF INVESTED AMOUNT AND PURCHASER'S TRANCHE
INVESTMENT.

         In making any determination of the Invested Amount, any Purchaser Group
Invested Amount and any Purchaser's Tranche Investment, the following rules
shall apply:

         (a)      the Invested Amount and each Purchaser Group Invested Amount,
as the case may be, shall not be considered reduced by any allocation, setting
aside or distribution of any portion of Collections unless such Collections
shall have been actually delivered hereunder to the related Purchaser Agent, on
the related Purchaser's behalf;

         (b)      the Invested Amount and each Purchaser Group Invested Amount,
as the case may be, shall not be considered reduced by any distribution of any
portion of Collections if at any time such distribution is rescinded or must
otherwise be returned for any reason; and

         (c)      if there is any reduction in the Invested Amount or any
Purchaser Group Invested Amount, as the case may be, there shall be a
corresponding reduction in the related Purchaser's Tranche Investment with
respect to one or more Asset Tranches selected by a Purchaser Agent, on the
related Purchaser's behalf, in its discretion.

         SECTION 2.3 COMPUTATION OF CONCENTRATION LIMITS AND UNPAID BALANCE.

         The Obligor Concentration Limits and the aggregate Unpaid Balance of
Pool Receivables of any Obligor and its Affiliated Obligors (if any) shall be
calculated as if such Obligor and its Affiliated Obligors were one Obligor.

         SECTION 2.4 COMPUTATION OF EARNED DISCOUNT.

         In making any determination of Earned Discount, the following rules
shall apply:

         (a)      each Purchaser Agent, on the related Purchaser's behalf, shall
determine the Earned Discount accruing with respect to each Asset Tranche funded
by a Liberty Street Alternate Funding or a Liquidity Funding of such Purchaser
Group, as the case may be, for each Yield Period, in accordance with the
definition of Earned Discount;

                                        7

<PAGE>

         (b)      no provision of this Agreement shall require the payment or
permit the collection of Earned Discount in excess of the maximum permitted by
applicable law; and

         (c)      the Earned Discount for any Asset Tranche shall not be
considered paid by any distribution if at any time such distribution is
rescinded or must otherwise be returned for any reason.

It is the intent of Blue Ridge and Liberty Street to fund its portion of the
Asset Interest by the issuance of Commercial Paper Notes. If, for any reason,
either Blue Ridge or Liberty Street is unable, or determines that it is
undesirable, to issue Commercial Paper Notes to fund its portion of the Asset
Interest, or is unable to repay such Commercial Paper Notes upon the maturity
thereof, such Purchaser will draw on Liquidity Fundings (or a Liberty Street
Alternate Funding, in the case of Liberty Street) to the extent available. If
any Purchaser funds itself through Liquidity Fundings (or a Liberty Street
Alternate Funding, in the case of Liberty Street), the Earned Discount payable
by the Seller will be based on the Bank Rate.

         SECTION 2.5 ESTIMATES OF EARNED DISCOUNT RATE, FEES, ETC.

         For purposes of determining the amounts required to be identified by
Master Servicer pursuant to Section 1.3, each Purchaser Agent, on the related
Purchaser's behalf, shall notify the Master Servicer (and, if Lennox is not the
Master Servicer, the Seller) from time to time of the related Purchaser's
Tranche Investment of each Asset Tranche, the Earned Discount Rate applicable to
each Asset Tranche funded by a Liberty Street Alternate Funding or Liquidity
Funding of such Purchaser Group, as the case may be, and the rates at which fees
and other amounts are accruing hereunder. It is understood and agreed that (a)
the CP Costs for any Asset Tranche funded by the issuance of Commercial Paper
Notes for any Purchaser Group are determined in arrears and may change from one
applicable CP Accrual Period to the next, (b) the Earned Discount Rate for any
Asset Tranche funded by a Liberty Street Alternate Funding or a Liquidity
Funding of any Purchaser Group may change from one applicable Yield Period to
the next, and the Bank Rate used to calculate the Earned Discount Rate may
change from time to time during an applicable Yield Period, (c) certain rate
information provided by any Purchaser Agent to the Master Servicer shall be
based upon such Purchaser Agent's good faith estimate, (d) the amount of Earned
Discount actually accrued with respect to an Asset Tranche funded by a Liberty
Street Alternate Funding or a Liquidity Funding of any Purchaser Group during
any Yield Period may exceed, or be less than, the amount identified with respect
thereto by Master Servicer, and (e) the amount of fees or other amounts payable
by the Seller hereunder which have accrued hereunder with respect to any
Collection Period may exceed, or be less than, the amount identified with
respect thereto by the Master Servicer. Failure to identify any amount so
accrued shall not relieve the Master Servicer of its obligation to remit
Collections to each Purchaser Agent, for the benefit of the related Purchaser,
with respect to such accrued amount, as and to the extent provided in Section
3.1.

                                   SETTLEMENTS

         SECTION 3.1 SETTLEMENT PROCEDURES.

         The parties hereto will take the following actions with respect to each
Collection Period:

         (a)      Information Package. On the eighth day of each month or if
such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day (each a
"Reporting Date"), the Master Servicer shall deliver to each Purchaser Agent, on
the related Purchaser's behalf, a report in the form of Exhibit 3.1(a), provided
that, if a Credit Event has occurred and is continuing, such Information Package
shall be accompanied by an electronic file in a form satisfactory to each
Purchaser Agent (collectively, an "Information Package").

         (b)      Earned Discount and CP Costs; Other Amounts Due. (i) (A) On or
before 12:00 noon (Atlanta, Georgia, time) on the Business Day before the last
day of each Yield Period, each Purchaser Agent shall notify the Master Servicer
of the amount of Earned Discount accrued with respect to any Asset Tranche
funded by a Liberty Street Alternate Funding or a Liquidity Funding of the
related Purchaser Group, as the case may be, corresponding to such Yield Period,
and (B) on or before 12:00 noon (Atlanta, Georgia time) five (5) Business Days
before each Reporting Date, each Purchaser Agent shall notify the Master
Servicer of the CP Costs accrued during the most recently ended CP Accrual
Period with respect to any Asset Tranche funded with Commercial Paper Notes of
such Purchaser Group during all or any portion of such CP Accrual Period (ii)
the Master Servicer shall pay to each Agent for the benefit of the related
Purchaser the amount of such Earned Discount before 12:00 noon (Atlanta, Georgia
time) on the last day of such Yield Period and the amount of such CP Costs
before 12:00 noon (Atlanta, Georgia time) on each Settlement Date (iii) on or
before 12:00 noon (Atlanta, Georgia time) on the Business Day before each
Reporting Date, each Purchaser Agent, on the related Purchaser's behalf, shall
notify the Master Servicer of all Broken Funding Costs, fees and other amounts
accrued and payable by the Seller under this Agreement to the related Purchaser
during the prior calendar month (other than amounts described in clause (c)
below). The Master Servicer shall pay to each Purchaser Agent, for the benefit
of the related Purchaser, the amount of such Broken Funding Costs, fees and
other amounts (to the extent of Collections attributable to the Asset Interest
funded by such Purchaser Group during such Collection Period) on the Settlement
Date for such month. Such payments shall be made out of amounts identified
pursuant to Section 1.3 for such payment; provided, however, that to the extent
Collections attributable to the Asset Interest funded by such Purchaser Group
during such Collection Period are not sufficient to make such payment, such
payment shall be made out of funds paid by the Master Servicer to the Seller
(which amounts the Seller hereby agrees to pay to the Master Servicer), up to
the aggregate amount of Collections applied to Reinvestments under Section
1.3(a) or (b) during such month.

         (c)      Asset Interest Computations.

                  (i)      On the Reporting Date for each Collection Period, the
         Master Servicer shall compute, as of the related Cut-Off Date and based
         upon the assumptions in the next

                                        9

<PAGE>

         sentence, (A) the Asset Interest, (B) the amount of the reduction or
         increase (if any) in the Asset Interest since the next preceding
         Cut-Off Date, (C) the excess (if any) of the Asset Interest over the
         Allocation Limit, (D) the excess (if any) of any Purchaser Group
         Invested Amount over such Purchaser Group Limit and (E) the excess (if
         any) of the Invested Amount over the Purchase Limit. Such calculations
         shall be based upon the assumptions that the (1) information in the
         Information Package is correct, and (2) Collections identified pursuant
         to Section 1.3(b) will be paid to each Purchaser Agent, for the benefit
         of the related Purchaser, on the Settlement Date for such Collection
         Period.

                  (ii)     If, according to the computations made pursuant to
         clause (i) above, (A) the Asset Interest exceeds the Allocation Limit,
         (B) any Purchaser Group Invested Amount exceeds such Purchaser Group
         Limit or (C) the Invested Amount exceeds the Purchase Limit, then on
         the Settlement Date for such Collection Period, the Master Servicer
         shall pay to the applicable Purchaser Agent, for the benefit of the
         related Purchaser, (to the extent of Collections during the related
         Collection Period attributable to all Asset Tranches funded by such
         Purchaser Group and not previously paid to such Purchaser Agent) the
         amount necessary to reduce (1) the Invested Amount to the Purchase
         Limit, (2) any Purchaser Group Invested Amount to such Purchaser Group
         Limit and (3) the Asset Interest to the Allocation Limit, subject,
         however, to the proviso to Section 1.3(c)(iv). Such payment shall be
         made out of amounts identified pursuant to Section 1.3 for such purpose
         and, to the extent such amounts were not so identified, the Seller
         hereby agrees to pay such amounts to the Master Servicer to the extent
         of Collections applied to Reinvestment under Section 1.3 during the
         relevant Collection Period.

                  (iii)    In addition to the payments described in clause (ii)
         above and clause (iv) below, during the Liquidation Period, the Master
         Servicer shall pay to each Agent, for the benefit of the related
         Purchaser, all amounts identified pursuant to Section 1.3 (A) on the
         last day of the current Yield Period for any Asset Tranche funded by a
         Liberty Street Alternate Funding or a Liquidity Funding funded by such
         Purchaser Group, as the case may be, in an amount not exceeding such
         Purchaser's Tranche Investment of such Asset Tranche, and (B) after
         reduction to zero of such Purchaser's Tranche Investments of the Asset
         Tranches, if any, funded by Liberty Street Alternate Fundings or
         Liquidity Fundings of such Purchaser Group, as the case may be, on the
         last day of the each CP Accrual Period, in an amount not exceeding such
         Purchaser's Tranche Investment of the Asset Tranche funded by
         Commercial Paper Notes issued by such Purchaser Group.

                  (iv)     On the Interim Reporting Date for each Interim
         Reporting Period, the Master Servicer shall compute, as of the related
         Interim Cut-Off Date and based upon the assumptions in the next
         sentence, (A) the Asset Interest, (B) the amount of the reduction or
         increase (if any) in the Asset Interest since the next preceding
         Cut-Off Date or Interim Cut-Off Date, (C) the excess (if any) of the
         Asset Interest over the Allocation Limit, (D) the excess (if any) of
         any Purchaser Group Invested Amount over the related Purchaser Group
         Limit and (E) the excess (if any) of the Invested Amount over the
         Purchase Limit. Such calculations shall be based upon the assumptions
         that (1) the information in the Interim Information Package is correct,
         and (2) Collections identified pursuant to Section 1.3(b) will be paid
         to each Purchaser Agent, for the benefit of the related Purchaser, on
         the Settlement Date for such Collection Period.

<PAGE>

                  (v)      If, according to the computations made pursuant to
         clause (iv) above, (A) the Asset Interest exceeds the Allocation Limit,
         (B) any Purchaser Group Invested Amount exceeds the related Purchaser
         Group Limit or (C) the Invested Amount exceeds the Purchase Limit, then
         on the Interim Settlement Date for such Interim Reporting Period, the
         Master Servicer shall pay to the applicable Purchaser Agent, for the
         benefit of the related Purchaser, (to the extent of Collections during
         the related Interim Reporting Period attributable to all Asset Tranches
         funded by the related Purchaser Group and not previously paid to such
         Purchaser Agent) the amount necessary to reduce (1) the Invested Amount
         to the Purchase Limit, (2) any Purchaser Group Invested Amount to the
         related Purchaser Group Limit and (3) the Asset Interest to the
         Allocation Limit, subject, however, to the proviso to Section
         1.3(c)(iv). Such payment shall be made out of amounts identified
         pursuant to Section 1.3 for such purpose and, to the extent such
         amounts were not so identified, the Seller hereby agrees to pay such
         amounts to the Master Servicer to the extent of Collections applied to
         Reinvestment under Section 1.3 during the relevant Interim Reporting
         Period.

         (d)      Order of Application. Upon receipt by each Purchaser Agent, on
the related Purchaser's behalf, of funds distributed pursuant to this Section
3.1, such Purchaser Agent shall apply them to the items specified in the
subclauses below, in the order of priority of such subclauses:

                  (i)      to accrued Earned Discount, CP Costs and Broken
         Funding Costs, plus any previously accrued Earned Discount, CP Costs
         and Broken Funding Costs not paid, to the extent owing to such
         Purchaser Group;

                  (ii)     to the related Purchaser's Share of the accrued and
         unpaid Servicing Fee (if the Master Servicer is not Lennox or its
         Affiliate);

                  (iii)    to such Purchaser Group's Pro Rata Share of the
         Program Fee and the Unused Fee accrued during such Collection Period,
         plus any previously accrued Program Fee and the Unused Fee not paid on
         a prior Settlement Date;

                  (iv)     to the reduction of the Invested Amount on a pro-rata
         basis and the reduction of any Purchaser Group Invested Amount, to the
         extent such reduction is required under Section 3.1(c);

                  (v)      to other accrued and unpaid amounts owing to any
         Purchaser or any Agent hereunder (except Earned Discount on any Asset
         Tranche funded by a Liberty Street Alternate Funding or a Liquidity
         Funding of any Purchaser Group, as the case may be, which has accrued
         but is not yet overdue under Section 1.3(c));

                  (vi)     to the related Purchaser's Share of the accrued and
         unpaid Servicing Fee (if the Master Servicer is Lennox or its
         Affiliate); and

                  (vii)    to purchase newly originated Receivables during the
         Revolving Period.

         (e)      Non-Distribution of Servicing Fee. Each Purchaser Agent hereby
consents (which consent may be revoked at any time), to the retention by the
Master Servicer of the

                                       11

<PAGE>

amounts (if any) identified pursuant to Section 1.3 in respect of the Servicing
Fee, in which case no distribution shall be made in respect of the Servicing Fee
pursuant to clause (d) above.

         (f)      Delayed Payment. If on any day described in this Section 3.1
(or in Section 1.3(c) in respect of accrued Earned Discount on Asset Tranches
funded by Liberty Street Alternate Fundings or Liquidity Fundings of any
Purchaser Group, as the case may be, or accrued CP Costs on Asset Tranches
funded by the issuance of Commercial Paper Notes issued by any Purchaser Group),
because Collections during the relevant CP Accrual Period or Yield Period were
less than the aggregate amounts payable, the Master Servicer shall not make any
payment otherwise required, the next available Collections in respect of the
Asset Interest shall be applied to such payment, and no Reinvestment shall be
permitted hereunder until such amount payable has been paid in full.

         SECTION 3.2 DEEMED COLLECTIONS; REDUCTION OF INVESTED AMOUNT, ETC.

         (a)      Deemed Collections. If on any day:

                  (i)      the Unpaid Balance of any Pool Receivable is:

                           (A)      reduced as a result of any defective,
                  rejected or returned merchandise or services, any cash
                  discount, or any other adjustment by any Seller Party or any
                  Affiliate thereof, or as a result of any tariff or other
                  governmental or regulatory action, or

                           (B)      reduced or canceled as a result of a setoff
                  in respect of any claim by the Obligor thereof (whether such
                  claim arises out of the same or a related or an unrelated
                  transaction, including without limitation, any setoff or claim
                  arising as a result of any amount at any time owed by any
                  Originator in connection with any account receivable owed by
                  any such Originator to such Obligor), or

                           (C)      reduced on account of the obligation of any
                  Seller Party or any Affiliate thereof to pay to the related

                           (D)      less than the amount included in calculating
                  the Net Pool Balance for purposes of any Information Package
                  or Interim Information Package, as the case may be (for any
                  reason other than such Receivable becoming a Defaulted
                  Receivable), or

                  (ii)     any of the representations or warranties of the
         Seller set forth in Section 6.1(j), (l) or (p) were not true when made
         with respect to any Pool Receivable, or any of the representations or
         warranties of the Seller set forth in Section 6.1(l) are no longer true
         with respect to any Pool Receivable, or any Pool Receivable is
         repurchased by an Originator pursuant to the Sale Agreement,

then, on such day, the Seller shall be deemed to have received a Collection of
such Pool Receivable

                  amount of such reduction or cancellation or the difference
                  between the actual Unpaid Balance and the amount included in
                  calculating such Net Pool Balance, as applicable; and

                           (B)      in the case of clause (ii) above, in the
                  amount of the Unpaid Balance of such Pool Receivable.

Collections deemed received by the Seller under this Section 3.2(a) are herein
referred to as "Deemed Collections."

         (b)      Seller's Optional Reduction of the Invested Amount. The Seller
may at any time elect to reduce the Invested Amount and each Purchaser Group
Invested Amount as follows:

                  (i)      the Seller shall give each Purchaser Agent, on the
         related Purchaser's behalf, at least five (5) Business Days' prior
         written notice of such reduction (including the amount of such proposed
         reduction and the proposed date on which such reduction will commence),

                  (ii)     on the proposed date of commencement of such
         reduction and on each day thereafter, the Master Servicer shall refrain
         from reinvesting Collections pursuant to Section 1.3 until the amount
         thereof not so reinvested shall equal the desired amount of reduction,
         and

                  (iii)    the Master Servicer shall hold such Collections in
         trust for the Purchasers, pending payment to the related Purchaser
         Agent, as provided in Section 1.3;

provided that:

                           (A)      the amount of any such reduction shall be in
                  (1) an amount of $1,000,000, (2) an integral multiple thereof
                  or (3) an amount equal to the remaining Invested Amount,

                           (B)      the Seller shall use reasonable efforts to
                  attempt to choose a reduction amount, and the date of
                  commencement thereof, so that such reduction shall commence
                  and conclude in the same Collection Period,

                           (C)      unless the Invested Amount will be reduced
                  to zero, after giving effect to such reduction, the Invested
                  Amount will be at least $25,000,000, and

                           (D)      each reduction of the Invested Amount shall
                  be done on a pro rata basis and shall result in a
                  corresponding reduction in each Purchaser Group Invested
                  Amount.

         SECTION 3.3 PAYMENTS AND COMPUTATIONS, ETC.

         (a)      Payments. All amounts to be paid to any Purchaser Agent or any
other Person or deposited by the Seller or the Master Servicer hereunder (other
than amounts payable under Section 4.2) shall be paid or deposited in accordance
with the terms hereof no later than 12:00

                                       13

noon (New York City time) on the day when due in lawful money of the United
States of America in same day funds to the related Purchaser Agent Account, or
to such other account at the bank named therein or at such other bank as any
Purchaser Agent on behalf of the related Purchaser may designate by written
notice to the Person making such payment.

         (b)      Late Payments. The Seller or the Master Servicer, as
applicable, shall, to the extent permitted by law, pay to the Person to whom
payment is due interest on all amounts not paid or deposited when due hereunder
at 2% per annum above the Base Rate, payable on demand, provided, however, that
such interest rate shall not at any time exceed the maximum rate permitted by
applicable law.

         (c)      Method of Computation. All computations of interest, CP Costs,
Broken Funding Costs, Earned Discount, any fees payable under Section 4.1 and
any other fees payable by the Seller to any Purchaser or any Purchaser Agent
hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number
of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) elapsed.

         SECTION 3.4 TREATMENT OF COLLECTIONS AND DEEMED COLLECTIONS.

         The Seller shall forthwith deliver to the Master Servicer all Deemed
Collections, and the Master Servicer shall hold or distribute such Deemed
Collections as Earned Discount, CP Costs, Broken Funding Costs, accrued
Servicing Fee, repayment of the Invested Amount or any Purchaser Group Invested
Amount and to other accrued amounts owing hereunder to the same extent as if
such Deemed Collections had actually been received on the date of such delivery
to the Master Servicer. If Collections are then being paid to any Agent, on
behalf of the Purchasers, or its designee, or to lock boxes or accounts directly
or indirectly owned or controlled by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the
Purchasers, the Master Servicer shall forthwith cause such Deemed Collections to
be paid to each Purchaser Agent, on the related Purchaser's behalf, or its
designee or to such lock boxes or accounts, as applicable, or as the Agents
shall request. So long as the Seller shall hold any Collections (including
Deemed Collections) required to be paid to the Master Servicer or any Agent, it
shall hold such Collections in trust for the benefit of the Agents, on behalf of
the Purchasers, and shall clearly mark its records to reflect such trust;
provided that unless the Administrative Agent shall have requested it in writing
to do so, the Seller shall not be required to hold such Collections in a
separate deposit account containing only such Collections.

                           (A)      shall subject an Affected Party to any tax,
                  duty or other charge with respect to the portion of the Asset
                  Interest owned by or funded by it, or any obligations or right
                  to make Purchases or Reinvestments or to provide funding
                  therefor, or shall change the basis of taxation of payments to
                  the Affected Party of any portion of the Invested Amount or
                  Earned Discount owned by, owed to or funded in whole or in
                  part by it or any other amounts due under this Agreement in
                  respect of the portion of the Asset Interest owned by or
                  funded by it or its obligations or rights, if any, to make
                  Purchases or Reinvestments or to provide funding therefor
                  (except for (1) taxes based on, or measured by, net income, or

                  Affected Party's principal executive office is located and, if
                  such Affected Party's principal executive office is not in the
                  United States of America, by the jurisdiction where such
                  Affected Party's principal office in the United States is
                  located or, (2) franchise taxes, taxes on, or in the nature
                  of, doing business taxes or capital taxes); or

                           (B)      shall impose, modify or deem applicable any
                  reserve (including, without limitation, any reserve imposed by
                  the Federal Reserve Board, but excluding any reserve included
                  in the determination of Earned Discount), special deposit or
                  similar requirement against assets of any Affected Party,
                  deposits or obligations with or for the account of any
                  Affected Party or with or for the account of any affiliate (or
                  entity deemed by the Federal Reserve Board to be an affiliate)
                  of any Affected Party, or credit extended by any Affected
                  Party; or

                           (C)      shall change the amount of capital
                  maintained or required or requested or directed to be
                  maintained by any Affected Party; or

                           (D)      shall impose any other condition affecting
                  any Asset Interest owned or funded in whole or in part by any
                  Affected Party, or its obligations or rights, if any, to make
                  Purchases or Reinvestments or to provide funding therefor; or

                           (E)      shall change the rate for, or the manner in
                  which the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (or a
                  successor thereto) assesses, deposit insurance premiums or
                  similar charges;

and the result of any of the foregoing is or would be

                           (A)      to increase the cost to or to impose a cost
                  on (1) an Affected Party funding or making or maintaining any
                  Purchases or Reinvestments, any purchases, reinvestments, or
                  loans or other extensions of credit under any Liquidity
                  Agreement, or any commitment of such Affected Party with
                  respect to any of the foregoing, or (2) any Agent for
                  continuing its or the Seller's relationship with any
                  Purchaser, in each case, in an amount deemed to be material by
                  such Affected Party,

<PAGE>

                           (B)      to reduce the amount of any sum received or
                  receivable by an Affected Party under this Agreement or under
                  any Liquidity Agreement, or

                           (C)      in the reasonable determination of such
                  Affected Party, to reduce the rate of return on the capital of
                  an Affected Party as a consequence of its obligations
                  hereunder or arising in connection herewith to a level below
                  that which such Affected Party could otherwise have achieved,

then, within thirty days after demand by such Affected Party (which demand shall
be accompanied by a certificate setting forth, in reasonable detail, the basis
of such demand and the methodology for calculating, and the calculation of, the
amounts claimed by the Affected Party), the Seller shall pay directly to such
Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such
Affected Party for such additional or increased cost or such reduction;
provided, however, the Seller shall only be required to compensate any such
Affected Party for such amounts to the extent that such Affected Party is
requiring all of its other similarly situated customers to compensate it for
such amounts.

         (b)      Each Affected Party will promptly notify the Seller and each
Agent of any event of which it has knowledge (including any future event that,
in the judgment of such Affected Party, is reasonably certain to occur) which
will entitle such Affected Party to compensation pursuant to this Section 4.2;
provided, however, no failure to give or delay in giving such notification shall
adversely affect the rights of any Affected Party to such compensation.

         (c)      In determining any amount provided for or referred to in this
Section 4.2, an Affected Party may use any reasonable averaging and attribution
methods (consistent with its ordinary business practices) that it (in its
reasonable discretion) shall deem applicable. Any Affected Party when making a
claim under this Section 4.2 shall submit to the Seller the certificate
(referred to in subsection (a) above) as to such increased cost or reduced
return (including calculation thereof in reasonable detail), which statement
shall, in the absence of demonstrable error, be conclusive and binding upon the
Seller.

         (d)      For avoidance of doubt, any interpretation of Accounting
Research Bulletin No. 51 by the Financial Accounting Standards Board shall
constitute an adoption, change, request or directive subject to this Section
4.2.

         SECTION 4.3 FUNDING LOSSES.

         In the event that any Purchaser or any Liquidity Bank shall actually
incur any loss or expense (including any loss or expense incurred by reason of
the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such
Purchaser through the issuance of Commercial Paper Notes to fund any Purchase,
such Liquidity Bank to make any Liquidity Funding or maintain any Liquidity
Funding or such Liberty Street Investor to make any Liberty Street Alternate
Funding or maintain any Liberty Street Alternate Funding) as a result of (a) any
settlement with respect to the related Purchaser's Tranche Investment of the
portion of any Asset Tranche being made by such Purchaser Group on any day other
than the scheduled last day of an applicable CP Accrual Period or Yield Period
with respect thereto (it being understood that the foregoing shall not apply to
any portion of the Invested Amount that is accruing Earned Discount calculated
by reference

to the Base Rate), or (b) any Purchase not being made in accordance with a
request therefor under Section 1.2, then, upon written notice from any Purchaser
Agent to the Seller and the Master Servicer, the Seller shall pay to the Master
Servicer, and the Master Servicer shall pay to such Purchaser Agent for the
account of the related Purchaser or such Liquidity Bank, as the case may be, the
amount of such loss or expense. Such written notice (which shall include the
methodology for calculating, and the calculation of, the amount of such loss or
expense, in reasonable detail) shall, in the absence of demonstrable error, be
conclusive and binding upon the Seller and the Master Servicer.

Purchase or Reinvestment the following statements shall be true (and the Seller,
by accepting the amount of such Purchase or by receiving the proceeds of such
Reinvestment, and each other Seller Party, upon such acceptance or receipt by
the Seller, shall be deemed to have certified that):

         (a)      the representations and warranties contained in Section 6.1

Party, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be
limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or other similar laws from
time to time in effect affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally
and by general principles of equity, regardless of whether such enforceability
is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

         (e)      No Violation. The execution, delivery and performance by it of
this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party and
the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will
not (i) conflict with, result in any breach of any of the terms and provisions

(iii) violate any law or any order, rule, or regulation applicable to it of any
court or of any federal or state regulatory body, administrative agency, or
other governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over it or any of its
properties.

pending, or, to its knowledge, threatened, before any Governmental Authority (i)

         SECTION 7.4 SEPARATE CORPORATE EXISTENCE OF THE SELLER.

         Each Seller Party hereby acknowledges that the Purchaser and each Agent
are entering into the transactions contemplated hereby in reliance upon the
Seller's identity as a legal entity separate from the Master Servicer and its
other Affiliates. Therefore, each Seller Party shall take all steps specifically
required by this Agreement or reasonably required by the Agents 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 its Affiliates, and is not a division of the Master Servicer or any
other Person. Without limiting the foregoing, each Seller Party will take such
actions as shall be required in order that:

         (a)      The Seller will be a limited purpose corporation whose primary
activities are restricted in its Certificate of Incorporation to purchasing or
otherwise acquiring from the

                                       29

<PAGE>

Originators, owning, holding, granting security interests, or selling interests,
in Receivables in the Receivables Pool and Related Assets, entering into
agreements for the selling and servicing of the Receivables Pool, and conducting
such other activities as it deems necessary or appropriate to carry out its
primary activities;

         (b)      At least one member of the Seller's Board of Directors shall
be an Independent Director. The certificate of incorporation of the Seller shall
provide that (i) at least one member of the Seller's Board of Directors shall be
an Independent Director, (ii) 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 prior to the taking of such action and (iii)
the provisions requiring an Independent Director and the provisions described in
clauses (i) and (ii) of this paragraph (b) cannot be amended without the prior
written consent of the Independent Director;

         (c)      The Independent Director shall not at any time serve as a
trustee in bankruptcy for the Seller or any Affiliate thereof;

         (d)      Any employee, consultant or agent of the Seller will be
compensated from the Seller's funds for services provided to the Seller. The
Seller will not engage any agents other than its attorneys, auditors and other
professionals, and a servicer and any other agent contemplated by the
Transaction Documents for the Receivables Pool (the parties acknowledge that the
Master Servicer will be fully compensated for its services by payment of the
Servicing Fee), and certain organizational expenses in connection with the
formation of the Seller;

         (e)      The Seller will contract with the Master Servicer to perform
for the Seller all operations required on a daily basis to service the
Receivables Pool. The Seller will pay the Master Servicer the Servicing Fee
pursuant hereto. The Seller will not incur any material indirect or overhead
expenses for items shared with the Master Servicer (or any other Affiliate
thereof) which are not reflected in the Servicing Fee. To the extent, if any,
that the Seller (or any other Affiliate thereof) shares items of expenses not
reflected in the Servicing Fee, for legal, auditing and other professional
services and directors' fees, 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 that Lennox shall pay or cause to be paid
all expenses relating to the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of
the Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, legal, rating agency
and other fees;

         (f)      The Seller's operating expenses will not be paid by any other
Seller Party or other Affiliate of the Seller;

         (g)      The Seller will have its own stationery;

         (h)      The books of account, financial reports and corporate records
of the Seller will be maintained separately from those of the Master Servicer
and each other Affiliate of the Seller;

         (i)      Any financial statements of any Seller Party or Affiliate
thereof which are consolidated to include the Seller will contain detailed notes
clearly stating that (i) all of the Seller's assets are owned by the Seller, and
(ii) the Seller is a separate corporate entity with its own

                                       30

<PAGE>

separate creditors that will be entitled to be satisfied out of the Seller's
assets prior to any value in the Seller becoming available to the Seller's
equity holders; and the accounting records and the published financial
statements of the Originators will clearly show that, for accounting purposes,
the Pool Receivables and Related Assets have been sold by the Originators to the
Seller;

         (j)      The Seller's assets will be maintained in a manner that
facilitates their identification and segregation from those of the Master
Servicer and the other Affiliates;

         (k)      Each Affiliate of the Seller will strictly observe corporate
formalities in its dealings with the Seller, and, except as permitted pursuant
to this Agreement with respect to Collections, funds or other assets of the
Seller will not be commingled with those of any of its Affiliates;

         (l)      No Affiliate of the Seller will maintain joint bank accounts
with the Seller or other depository accounts with the Seller to which any such
Affiliate (other than in its capacity as the Master Servicer hereunder or under
the Sale Agreement) has independent access, provided that prior to the
occurrence of a Credit Event, Collections may be deposited into general accounts
of the Master Servicer, subject to the obligations of the Master Servicer
hereunder;

         (m)      No Affiliate of the Seller shall, directly or indirectly, name
the Seller or enter into any agreement to name the Seller as a direct or
contingent beneficiary or loss payee on any insurance policy covering the
property of any Affiliate of the Seller;

         (n)      Each Affiliate of the Seller will maintain arm's length
relationships with the Seller, and each Affiliate of the Seller that renders or
otherwise furnishes services or merchandise to the Seller will be compensated by
the Seller at market rates for such services or merchandise;

         (o)      No Affiliate of the Seller will be, nor will it hold itself
out to be, responsible for the debts of the Seller or the decisions or actions
in respect of the daily business and affairs of the Seller. The Seller shall not
(i) guarantee or become obligated for the debts of any other entity or hold out
its credit as being available to satisfy the obligations of others, (ii) acquire
obligations of its shareholders or (iii) pledge its assets for the benefit of
any other entity or make any loans to any other entity. The Master Servicer and
the Seller 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;

         (p)      The Seller will keep correct and complete books and records of
account and minutes of the meetings and other proceedings of its stockholder and
board of directors, as applicable, and the resolutions, agreements and other
instruments of the Seller will be continuously maintained as official records by
the Seller; and

         (q)      The Seller, on the one hand, and each Originator, on the other
hand, will conduct its business solely in its own corporate name and in such a
separate manner so as not to mislead others with whom they are dealing.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                          ADMINISTRATION AND COLLECTION

         SECTION 8.1 DESIGNATION OF MASTER SERVICER.

         (a)      Lennox as Initial Master Servicer. The servicing,
administering and collection of the Pool Receivables shall be conducted by the
Person designated as Master Servicer hereunder from time to time in accordance
with this Section 8.1. Until the Administrative Agent at the request of the
Agents, on the Purchasers' behalf, gives to Lennox a Successor Notice (as
defined in Section 8.1(b)), Lennox is hereby designated as, and hereby agrees to
perform the duties and obligations of, the Master Servicer pursuant to the terms
hereof. Each of the Originators named in the Sale Agreement, has agreed to act
as subservicer for the purpose of performing certain duties and obligations with
respect to all Receivables purchased by the Seller from such Originator pursuant
to the terms of the Sale Agreement. In so acting as subservicer, each of the
Originators has agreed to comply with, and be bound by, all of the terms and
provisions of this Agreement applicable to such Originator in the performance of
its duties as subservicer; provided, however, that each such Originator (i)
shall cease to act as subservicer upon the Administrative Agent's delivery of a
Successor Notice to Lennox, and (ii) shall not be entitled to receive any
Servicing Fee provided for herein (except that the Master Servicer may agree to
pay to the subservicers a proportional share of the Servicing Fee which
obligation shall be that of the Master Servicer).

         (b)      Successor Notice; Master Servicer Transfer Events. Upon
Lennox's receipt of a notice from the Administrative Agent of the Administrative
Agent's designation at the direction of the Purchaser Agents, on the Purchasers'
behalf, of a new Master Servicer (a "Successor Notice"), Lennox agrees that it
will terminate its activities as Master Servicer hereunder in a manner that the
Agents believe will facilitate the transition of the performance of such
activities to the new Master Servicer, and the Administrative Agent (or its
designee) shall assume each and all of Lennox's obligations to service and
administer such Receivables, on the terms and subject to the conditions herein
set forth, and Lennox shall use its best efforts to assist the Administrative
Agent (or its designee) in assuming such obligations. Without limiting the
foregoing, Lennox agrees, at its expense, to take all actions necessary to
provide the new Master Servicer with access to all computer software necessary
or useful in collecting, billing or maintaining records with respect to the
Receivables.

         (c)      Subcontracts. The Master Servicer may, with the prior consent
of the Agents, subcontract with any other Person for servicing, administering or
collecting the Pool Receivables, provided that the Master Servicer shall remain
liable for the performance of the duties and obligations of the Master Servicer
pursuant to the terms hereof and such subservicing arrangement may be terminated
at any Agent's request, on the related Purchaser's behalf, at anytime after a
Successor Notice has been given.

         SECTION 8.2 DUTIES OF MASTER SERVICER.

         (a)      Appointment; Duties in General. Each of the Seller, the
Purchasers and the Agents hereby appoints as its agent the Master Servicer, as
from time to time designated

                                       32

<PAGE>

pursuant to Section 8.1, to enforce its rights and interests in and under the
Pool Receivables, the Related Security and the related Contracts. The Master
Servicer shall take or cause to be taken all such actions as may be necessary or
advisable to collect each Pool Receivable from time to time, all in accordance
with applicable laws, rules and regulations, with reasonable care and diligence,
and in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy.

         (b)      Allocation of Collections; Segregation. The Master Servicer
shall identify for the account of the Seller and Purchasers their respective
allocable shares of the Collections of Pool Receivables in accordance with
Section 1.3 but shall not be required (unless otherwise requested by the
Administrative Agent, on the Purchasers' behalf) to segregate the funds
constituting such portions of such Collections prior to the remittance thereof
in accordance with said Section. If instructed by any Agent, on the Purchasers'
behalf, the Master Servicer shall segregate and deposit into the Collection
Account, the Purchasers' Share of Collections of Pool Receivables, on the second
Business Day following receipt by the Master Servicer of such Collections in
immediately available funds.

         (c)      Modification of Receivables. So long as no Liquidation Event
and no Unmatured Liquidation Event shall have occurred and be continuing,
Lennox, while it is Master Servicer, may, in accordance with the applicable
Credit and Collection Policy, (i) extend the maturity or adjust the Unpaid
Balance of any Defaulted Receivable as the Master Servicer may reasonably
determine to be appropriate to maximize Collections thereof, and (ii) adjust the
Unpaid Balance of any Receivable to reflect the reductions or cancellations
described in the first sentence of Section 3.2(a); provided that such extension
or adjustment shall not alter the status of such Receivables as Delinquent
Receivables or Defaulted Receivables or limit the rights of any Agent or any
Purchaser with respect thereto.

         (d)      Documents and Records. Each Seller Party shall deliver to the
Master Servicer, and the Master Servicer shall hold in trust for the Seller and
the Purchaser in accordance with their respective interests, all documents,
instruments and records (including, without limitation, computer tapes or disks)
that evidence or relate to Pool Receivables.

         (e)      Certain Duties to the Seller. The Master Servicer shall, as
soon as practicable following receipt, turn over to the Seller (i) that portion
of Collections of Pool Receivables representing its undivided percentage
interest therein, less the Seller's Share of the Servicing Fee, and, in the
event that neither Lennox nor any other Seller Party or Affiliate thereof is the
Master Servicer, all reasonable and appropriate out-of-pocket costs and expenses
of the Master Servicer of servicing, collecting and administering the Pool
Receivables to the extent not covered by the Servicing Fee received by it, and
(ii) the Collections of any Receivable which is not a Pool Receivable. The
Master Servicer, if other than Lennox or any other Seller Party or Affiliate
thereof, shall, as soon as practicable upon demand, deliver to the Seller all
documents, instruments and records in its possession that evidence or relate to
Receivables of the Seller other than Pool Receivables, and copies of documents,
instruments and records in its possession that evidence or relate to Pool
Receivables.

         (f)      Termination. The Master Servicer's authorization under this
Agreement shall terminate upon the Final Payout Date.

                                       33

<PAGE>

         (g)      Power of Attorney. The Seller hereby grants to the Master
Servicer an irrevocable power of attorney, with full power of substitution,
coupled with an interest, to take in the name of the Seller all steps which are
necessary or advisable to endorse, negotiate or otherwise realize on any writing
or other right of any kind held or transmitted by the Seller or transmitted or
received by the Purchaser (whether or not from the Seller) in connection with
any Receivable.

         SECTION 8.3 [RESERVED].

         SECTION 8.4 SERVICER DEFAULTS.

         If any one of the following events (a "Servicer Default") shall occur

         (b)      any failure on the part of the Master Servicer duly to observe

on which written notice of such incorrectness requiring the same to be remedied
shall have been given to the Master Servicer by any Agent and (ii) the date on

case of any representation, warranty or certification that was not made in
writing, a Servicer Default shall occur hereunder only if such representation,

Purchasers;

<PAGE>

         (e)      any change in the control of the Master Servicer which takes
the form of either a merger or consolidation in which the Master Servicer is not
the surviving entity.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, so long as any such Servicer
Default shall not have been remedied, the Agents, by written notice to the
Master Servicer (a "Termination Notice"), may terminate all of the rights and
obligations of the Master Servicer as Master Servicer under this Agreement and
appoint a successor Master Servicer satisfactory to the Agents (in the Agents'
sole discretion).

         SECTION 8.5 RIGHTS OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT.

         (a)      Notice to Obligors. At any time when a Liquidation Event has

         authorizes the Administrative Agent, on such Purchaser's behalf, and
         grants to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable power of attorney

         steps in such Seller Party's name and on behalf of the Seller Parties
         and Purchaser which are necessary or desirable, in the determination of
         the Administrative Agent, to collect all amounts due under any and all

         Party's name on checks and other instruments representing Collections
         and enforcing such Pool Receivables and the related Contracts.

         SECTION 8.6 RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE SELLER PARTIES.

         Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding:

         (a)      Contracts. Each Seller Party shall remain responsible for
performing all of its obligations (if any) under the Contracts related to the
Pool Receivables and under the related agreements to the same extent as if the
Asset Interest had not been sold hereunder, and the exercise by the
Administrative Agent or its designee of its rights hereunder shall not relieve
any Seller Party from such obligations.

         (b)      Limitation of Liability. No Agent or Purchaser shall have any
obligation or liability with respect to any Pool Receivables, Contracts related
thereto or any other related agreements, nor shall any of them be obligated to

evidence the Purchases hereunder and the resulting Asset Interest, or to enable
the Secured Parties or the Agents or any of their respective designees to
exercise or enforce any of their respective rights hereunder or under any
Transaction Document in respect thereof. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, each Seller Party will:

                  (i)      upon the request of the Administrative Agent at the
         direction of the Purchaser Agents on behalf of the Purchasers, execute

         and during the continuance of a Liquidation Event, mark conspicuously

Interest funded by the related Purchaser Group (or any portion thereof) to any
Person without the prior written consent of the Seller, which consent shall not

         or any Affiliate thereof (which assignee shall then be subject to this
         Article XII); and

                  (ii)     Each Purchaser may assign and grant a security
         interest in all of its rights in the Transaction Documents, together
         with all of its rights and interest in the Asset Interest, to secure
         such Purchaser's obligations under or in connection with the Commercial
         Paper Notes, the related Liquidity Agreement, and certain other
         obligations of such Purchaser incurred in connection with the funding
         of the Purchases and Reinvestments hereunder, which assignment and

         Agreement (other than Section 12.3).

         (b)      The Seller agrees to advise the Agents within five (5)
Business Days after notice to the Seller of any proposed assignment by any
Purchaser of the Asset Interest (or any portion thereof), not otherwise

Persons permitted under clause (i) of Section 12.1(a).

         SECTION 12.3 TERMS AND EVIDENCE OF ASSIGNMENT.

         Any assignment of the Asset Interest (or any portion thereof) to any
Person which is otherwise permitted under this Article XII shall be upon such
terms and conditions as the related Purchaser and the assignee may mutually
agree, and may be evidenced by such instrument(s) or document(s) as may be
satisfactory to the Purchaser, the related Purchaser Agent and the assignee.

         SECTION 12.4 RIGHTS OF LIQUIDITY BANKS.

         The Seller hereby agrees that, upon notice to the Seller, the Liquidity
Banks may exercise all the rights of the related Purchaser Agent and Purchaser
hereunder, with respect to the portion

                                       44

of the Asset Interest funded by the related Purchaser Group (or any portions
thereof), and Collections with respect thereto, which are owned by the related
Purchaser, and all other rights and interests of the related Purchaser in, to or
under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. Without limiting the
foregoing, upon such notice or at any time thereafter (but subject to any
conditions applicable to the exercise of such rights by the Agents), the
Liquidity Banks may request the Master Servicer to segregate Purchasers'
allocable shares of Collections from the Seller's allocable share, may give a
Successor Notice pursuant to and in accordance with Section 8.1(b), may give or
require the Administrative Agent to give notice to the Lockbox Banks as referred
to in Section 8.5(b) and may direct the Obligors of Pool Receivables to make
payments in respect thereof directly to an account designated by them, in each
case, to the same extent as the Administrative Agent might have done.

to indemnify each of Scotiabank, both individually and as the Liberty Street
Purchaser Agent, Wachovia, both individually and as the Administrative Agent and
the Blue Ridge Purchaser Agent, the Purchasers, the Liquidity Banks, the
Liquidity Agent, each of their respective Affiliates, and all successors,
transferees, participants and assigns and all officers, directors, shareholders,
controlling persons, and employees of any of the foregoing, and any successor
servicer and subservicer not affiliated with Lennox (each an "Indemnified
Party"), forthwith on demand, from and against any and all damages, losses,
claims, liabilities and related costs and expenses, including attorneys' fees
and disbursements (all of the foregoing being collectively referred to as
"Indemnified Amounts") awarded against or incurred by any of them arising out of
or relating to the Transaction Documents or the ownership or funding of the
Asset Interest or in respect of any Receivable or any Contract, excluding,
however, (x) Indemnified Amounts to the extent determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction to have resulted from gross negligence or willful
misconduct on the part of such Indemnified Party or (y) recourse (except as
otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement) for Defaulted Receivables;
the Seller further agrees to indemnify any agent (which is not otherwise an
Indemnified Party) of any of Scotiabank, Wachovia, the Agents, the Purchasers,
the Liquidity Banks, and the Liquidity Agent forthwith on demand, from and
against any and all Indemnified Amounts awarded against or incurred by any of
them arising out of or caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
the Seller (unless otherwise expressly agreed to in writing by the Seller).
Without limiting the foregoing, the Seller shall indemnify each Indemnified
Party for Indemnified Amounts arising out of or relating to:

                  (i)      the transfer by any Seller Party of any interest in
         any Receivable other than the transfer of Receivables and related
         property by the Originators to the Seller pursuant to the Sale
         Agreement, the transfer of an Asset Interest to the Purchaser pursuant
         to this Agreement and the grant of a security interest to the Purchaser
         pursuant to Section 9.1;

                                       45

<PAGE>

                  (ii)     any representation or warranty made in writing by any
         Seller Party (or any of its officers) under or in connection with any
         Transaction Document, any Information Package, Interim Information
         Package or any other information or report delivered by or on behalf of
         any Seller Party pursuant hereto, which shall have been false,
         incorrect or misleading in any material respect when made or deemed
         made or delivered, as the case may be; provided, however, that in the
         case of any representation, warranty or information that was not made
         or delivered in writing, indemnification shall be available to an
         Indemnified Party hereunder only if such representation, warranty or
         information was reasonably relied upon by such Indemnified Party;

                  (iii)    the failure by any Seller Party to comply with any
         applicable law, rule or regulation with respect to any Pool Receivable
         or the related Contract, or the nonconformity of any Pool Receivable or
         the related Contract with any such applicable law, rule or regulation;

                  (iv)     the failure to vest and maintain vested in Purchaser
         an undivided percentage ownership interest, to the extent of the Asset
         Interest, in the Receivables in, or purporting to be in, the
         Receivables Pool, free and clear of any Lien, other than a Lien arising
         solely as a result of an act of any Purchaser or the Administrative
         Agent, whether existing at the time of any Purchase or Reinvestment of
         such Asset Interest or at any time thereafter;

                  (v)      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 in, or purporting to be in, the Receivables
         Pool, whether at the time of any Purchase or Reinvestment or at any
         time thereafter;

                  (vi)     any dispute, claim, offset or defense (other than
         discharge in bankruptcy) of the Obligor to the payment of any
         Receivable in, or purporting to be in, the Receivables Pool (including,
         without limitation, a defense based on such Receivables or the related
         Contract 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 such Receivable or the furnishing or failure to furnish such
         merchandise or services;

                  (vii)    any matter described in clause (i) or (ii) of Section
         3.2(a);

                  (viii)   any failure of any Seller Party, as the Master
         Servicer or otherwise, to perform its duties or obligations in
         accordance with the provisions of Article III or Article VIII;

                  (ix)     any product liability claim arising out of or in
         connection with merchandise or services that are the subject of any
         Pool Receivable;

                  (x)      any claim of breach by any Seller Party of any
         related Contract with respect to any Pool Receivable; or

                                       46

<PAGE>

                  (xi)     any tax or governmental fee or charge (but not
         including franchise taxes or taxes upon or measured by net income), 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 purchase or ownership of any Asset Interest, or any other
         interest in the Pool Receivables or in any goods which secure any such
         Pool Receivables.

         (b)      Contest of Tax Claim; After-Tax Basis. If any Indemnified
Party shall have notice of any attempt to impose or collect any tax or
governmental fee or charge for which indemnification will be sought from any
Seller Party under Section 13.1(a)(xi), such Indemnified Party shall give prompt
and timely notice of such attempt to the Seller and the Seller shall have the
right, at its expense, to participate in any proceedings resisting or objecting
to the imposition or collection of any such tax, governmental fee or charge.
Indemnification hereunder shall be in an amount necessary to make the
Indemnified Party whole after taking into account any tax consequences to the
Indemnified Party of the payment of any of the aforesaid taxes (including any
deduction) and the receipt of the indemnity provided hereunder or of any refund
of any such tax previously indemnified hereunder, including the effect of such
tax, deduction or refund on the amount of tax measured by net income or profits
which is or was payable by the Indemnified Party.

         (c)      Contribution. If for any reason the indemnification provided
above in this Section 13.1 (and subject to the exceptions set forth therein) is
unavailable to an Indemnified Party or is insufficient to hold an Indemnified
Party harmless, then the Seller shall contribute to the amount paid or payable
by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability
in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits
received by such Indemnified Party on the one hand and the Seller on the other
hand but also the relative fault of such Indemnified Party as well as any other
relevant equitable considerations.

         SECTION 13.2 INDEMNITIES BY MASTER SERVICER.

         Without limiting any other rights which any Indemnified Party may have
hereunder or under applicable law, the Master Servicer hereby agrees to
indemnify each of the Indemnified Parties forthwith on demand, from and against
any and all Indemnified Amounts awarded against or incurred by any of them
arising out of or relating to the Master Servicer's performance of, or failure
to perform, any of its obligations under or in connection with any Transaction
Document, or any representation or warranty made by the Master Servicer (or any
of its officers) under or in connection with any Transaction Document, any
Information Package, Interim Information Package or any other information or
report delivered by or on behalf of the Master Servicer, which shall have been
false, incorrect or misleading in any material respect when made or deemed made
or delivered, as the case may be, or the failure of the Master Servicer to
comply with any applicable law, rule or regulation with respect to any Pool
Receivable or the related Contract; provided, however, that in the case of any
representation, warranty or information that was not made or delivered in
writing, indemnification shall be available to an Indemnified Party hereunder
only if such representation, warranty or information was reasonably relied upon
by such Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall any
Indemnified Party be awarded any Indemnified Amounts (a) to the extent
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from gross
negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such

                                       47

<PAGE>

Indemnified Party or (b) recourse for Defaulted Receivables. The Master Servicer
further agrees to indemnify any agent (which is not otherwise an Indemnified
Party) of any of Scotiabank, Wachovia, the Agents, the Purchasers, the Liquidity
Banks, and the Liquidity Agents forthwith on demand, from and against any and
all Indemnified Amounts awarded against or incurred by any of them arising out
of or caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Master
Servicer (unless otherwise expressly agreed to in writing by the Master
Servicer).

         If for any reason the indemnification provided above in this Section
13.2 (and subject to the exceptions set forth therein) is unavailable to an
Indemnified Party or is insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless, then
the Master Servicer shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such
Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received
by such Indemnified Party on the one hand and the Master Servicer on the other
hand but also the relative fault of such Indemnified Party as well as any other
relevant equitable considerations.

                                  ARTICLE XIV

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

         SECTION 14.1 AMENDMENTS, ETC.

         No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement nor consent
to any departure by any Seller Party therefrom shall in any event be effective
unless the same shall be in writing and signed by (a) each Seller Party, the
Agents and the Purchasers (with respect to an amendment), or (b) the Agents and
the Purchasers (with respect to a waiver or consent by them) or any Seller Party
(with respect to a waiver or consent by it), as the case may be, and then such
waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the
specific purpose for which given. The parties acknowledge that, before entering
into such an amendment or granting such a waiver or consent, any Purchaser may
also be required to obtain the approval of some or all of the related Liquidity
Banks or to obtain confirmation from certain rating agencies that such
amendment, waiver or consent will not result in a withdrawal or reduction of the
ratings of the Commercial Paper Notes.

         SECTION 14.2 NOTICES, ETC.

         All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall,
unless otherwise stated herein, be in writing (including facsimile
communication) and shall be personally delivered or sent by express mail or
courier or by certified mail, postage prepaid, or by facsimile, to the intended

electronic means; provided, however, that the financial statements required to

delivered on the date such financial statements are deposited in the United
States mail with first class postage prepaid, addressed to the intended

shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other parties
hereto.

         SECTION 14.3 NO WAIVER; REMEDIES.

         No failure on the part of the Administrative Agent, any Affected Party,
any Indemnified Party, any Purchaser or any other holder of the Asset Interest
(or any portion thereof) to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right
hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof
or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative
and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law. Without limiting the
foregoing, each of Scotiabank, individually and as Liberty Street Purchaser
Agent, Wachovia, individually, and as Administrative Agent and the Blue Ridge
Purchaser Agent, each Liberty Street Investor and each Liquidity Bank is hereby
authorized by the Seller at any time and from time to time, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or
special, time or demand provisional or final) at any time held and other
indebtedness at any time owing by Scotiabank, Wachovia, such Liberty Street
Investor and such Liquidity Bank to or for the credit or the account of the
Seller, against any and all of the obligations of the Seller now or hereafter
existing under this Agreement, to any Agent, any Affected Party, any Indemnified
Party or any Purchaser, or their respective successors and assigns.

         SECTION 14.4 BINDING EFFECT; SURVIVAL.

         This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each
Seller Party, the Agents, the Purchasers and their respective successors and
assigns, and the provisions of Section 4.2 and Article XIII shall inure to the
benefit of the Affected Parties and the Indemnified Parties, respectively, and
their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, nothing in the
foregoing shall be deemed to authorize any assignment not permitted by Section
12.1. This Agreement shall create and constitute the continuing obligations of
the parties hereto in accordance with its terms, and shall remain in full force
and effect until the Final Payout Date. The rights and remedies with respect to
any breach of any representation and warranty made by the Seller pursuant to
Article VI and the indemnification and payment provisions of Article XIII and
Sections 4.2, 14.5, 14.6, 14.7 and 14.15 shall be continuing and shall survive

         In addition to its obligations under Article XIII, the Seller Parties
jointly and severally agree to pay on demand:

                  (i)      the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery
         of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or the Liquidity
         Agreement, any amendment of or consent or waiver under any of the
         Transaction Documents which is requested or proposed by any Seller
         Party (whether or not consummated), or the enforcement by any of the
         foregoing Persons of, or any actual or claimed breach of, this
         Agreement or any of the other

                                       49

<PAGE>

         Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, the reasonable
         fees and expenses of counsel to any of such Persons incurred in
         connection with any of the foregoing or in advising such Persons as to
         their respective rights and remedies under any of the Transaction
         Documents in connection with any of the foregoing, and

                  (ii)     the administration (including periodic auditing as
         provided for herein) of this Agreement and the other Transaction
         Documents, including, without limitation, all reasonable out-of-pocket
         expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of independent
         accountants), incurred in connection with any review of any Seller
         Party's books and records either prior to the execution and delivery
         hereof but subject to the provisions of the Fee Letter or pursuant to

         7.1(c); and

         (b)      all stamp and other taxes and fees payable or determined to be

Agreement or the other Transaction Documents (and the Seller Parties, jointly
and severally agree to indemnify each Indemnified Party against any liabilities
with respect to or resulting from any delay in paying or omission to pay such
taxes and fees).

         (c)      all losses, costs and expenses incurred by the Purchasers or
the Agents in connection with or as a result of any failure to make a timely
payment or deposit, including, without limitation, by reason of any mechanical
delay in or malfunction of the Fedwire system or due to an error on the part of
the initiating or receiving bank.

         SECTION 14.6 NO PROCEEDINGS.

         The Master Servicer hereby agrees that it will not institute against
the Seller, or join any Person in instituting against the Seller, and each
Seller Party, the Master Servicer and Scotiabank (individually or as Liberty
Street Purchaser Agent), Wachovia (individually or as Administrative Agent or
Blue Ridge Purchaser Agent) hereby agrees that it will not institute against any
Purchaser, or join any other Person in instituting against any Purchaser, any
insolvency proceeding (namely, any proceeding of the type referred to in the
definition of Event of Bankruptcy) so long as any Commercial Paper Notes issued
by such Purchaser shall be outstanding or there shall not have elapsed one year
plus one day since the last day on which any such Commercial Paper Notes shall
have been outstanding.

         SECTION 14.7 CONFIDENTIALITY OF SELLER INFORMATION.

         (a)      Confidential Seller Information. Each party hereto (other than
Seller Parties) acknowledges that certain of the information provided to such
party by or on behalf of the Seller Parties in connection with this Agreement
and the transactions contemplated hereby is or may be confidential, and each
such party severally agrees that, unless the Master Servicer shall otherwise
agree in writing, and except as provided in subsection (b), such party will not
disclose to any other person or entity:

                  (i)      any information regarding, or copies of, any
         nonpublic financial statements, reports, schedules and other
         information furnished by any Seller Party to any Purchaser or any Agent
         (A) prior to the date hereof in connection with such party's due

                                       50

<PAGE>

         diligence relating to the Seller Parties and the transactions
         contemplated hereby, or (B) pursuant to this Agreement, including
         without limitation, Section 3.1, 5.1, 6.1(i), 7.1(c) or 7.2, or

                  (ii)     any other information regarding any Seller Party
         which is designated by any Seller Party to such party in writing as
         confidential

(the information referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above, whether furnished by
any Seller Party or any attorney for or other representative thereof (each a
"Seller Information Provider"), is collectively referred to as the "Seller
Information"); provided, however, Seller Information shall not include any
information which is or becomes generally available to the general public or to
such party on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than any Seller
Information Provider, or which was known to such party on a nonconfidential
basis prior to its disclosure by any Seller Information Provider.

         (b)      Disclosure. Notwithstanding subsection (a), each party may
disclose any Seller Information:

                  (i)      to any of such party's independent attorneys,
         consultants and auditors, and to any dealer or placement agent for such
         Purchaser's Commercial Paper Notes, who (A) in the good faith belief of
         such party, have a need to know such Seller Information, and (B) are
         informed by such party of the confidential nature of the Seller
         Information and the terms of this Section 14.7 and has agreed, verbally
         or otherwise, to be bound by the provisions of this Section 14.7,

                  (ii)     to any Liquidity Bank, any actual or potential
         assignees of, or participants in, any rights or obligations of any
         Purchaser, any Liquidity Bank or the related Purchaser Agent under or
         in connection with this Agreement who has agreed to be bound by the
         provisions of this Section 14.7,

                  (iii)    to any rating agency that maintains a rating for such
         Purchaser's Commercial Paper Notes or is considering the issuance of
         such a rating, for the purposes of reviewing the credit of such
         Purchaser in connection with such rating,

                  (iv)     to any other party to this Agreement (and any
         independent attorneys, consultants and auditors of such party), for the
         purposes contemplated hereby,

                  (v)      as may be required by any municipal, state, federal
         or other regulatory body having or claiming to have jurisdiction over
         such party, in order to comply with any law, order, regulation,
         regulatory request or ruling applicable to such party,

                  (vi)     subject to subsection (c), in the event such party is
         legally compelled (by interrogatories, requests for information or
         copies, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process) to
         disclose such Seller Information, or

                  (vii)    in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement
         or any other Transaction Document.

                                       51

<PAGE>

In addition, each Purchaser and each Agent may disclose on a "no name" basis to
any actual or potential investor in such Purchaser's Commercial Paper Notes
information regarding the nature of this Agreement, the basic terms hereof
(including without limitation the amount and nature of such Purchaser's
commitment and Invested Amount with respect to the Asset Interest funded by such
Purchaser Group and any other credit enhancement provided by any Seller Party
hereunder), the nature, amount and status of the Pool Receivables, and the
current and/or historical ratios of losses to liquidations and/or outstandings
with respect to the Receivables Pool.

         (c)      Legal Compulsion. In the event that any party hereto (other
than any Seller Party) or any of its representatives is requested or becomes
legally compelled (by interrogatories, requests for information or documents,
subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process) to disclose any of the
Seller Information, such party will (or will cause its representative to):

                  (i)      provide the Master Servicer with prompt written
         notice so that (A) the Master Servicer may seek a protective order or
         other appropriate remedy, or (B) the Master Servicer may, if it so
         chooses, agree that such party (or its representatives) may disclose
         such Seller Information pursuant to such request or legal compulsion;
         and

                  (ii)     unless the Master Servicer agrees that such Seller
         Information may be disclosed, make a timely objection to the request or
         compulsion to provide such Seller Information on the basis that such
         Seller Information is confidential and subject to the agreements
         contained in this Section 14.7.

In the event such protective order or remedy is not obtained, or the Master
Servicer agrees that such Seller Information may be disclosed, such party will
furnish only that portion of the Seller Information which (in such party's good
faith judgment) is legally required to be furnished and will exercise reasonable
efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be
afforded the Seller Information.

         (d)      Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any party to
this Agreement (and any employee, representative, or other agent of any party to
this Agreement) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any
kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement and all materials of any kind (including opinions and other tax
analyses) that are provided to it relating to such tax treatment and tax
structure. However, any such information relating to the tax treatment or tax
structure is required to be kept confidential to the extent necessary to comply
with any applicable federal or state securities laws.

         (e)      This Section 14.7 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

         SECTION 14.8 CAPTIONS AND CROSS REFERENCES.

         The obligations of each Purchaser under this Agreement are solely the

such Purchaser hereunder, such Purchaser shall have no liability with respect to
any amount of such obligations remaining unpaid and such unpaid amount shall not

Purchaser Group Invested Amount of such Asset Tranche if such reduction,
assignment or termination had not occurred or such notice had not been
delivered, over (B) the sum of (1) to the extent all or a portion of such the
related Purchaser Group Amount is allocated to another Asset Tranche, the amount
of CP Costs or Earned Discount actually accrued during the remainder of such
period on such Invested Amount for the new Asset Tranche, and (2) to the extent
such Purchaser Group Invested Amount is not allocated to another Asset Tranche,
the income, if any, actually received during the remainder of such period by the

Blue Ridge pursuant to the terms of any receivable purchase or financing
facilities funded substantially with Pooled Commercial Paper. In addition to the
foregoing costs, if Seller shall request any Purchase during any period of time
determined by the Blue Ridge Purchaser Agent in its sole discretion to result in
incrementally higher CP Costs applicable to such Purchase, the principal
associated with any such Purchase shall, during such period, be deemed to be
funded by Blue Ridge in a special pool (which may include capital associated
with other receivable purchase or financing facilities) for purposes of
determining such additional Blue Ridge CP Costs applicable only to such special
pool and charged each day during such period against such principal.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, on any day when any Liquidation Event or
Unmatured Liquidation Event shall have occurred and be continuing, the Blue
Ridge CP Costs for each Asset Tranche funded through the issuance of Commercial
Paper Notes by Blue Ridge shall equal the greater of (A) the amount determined
