          Facility, and the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary will not make
          any further assignment of the account or create any further security
          interest in the account other than in favor of the Company or any
          Restricted Subsidiary or in connection with a Securitization or the
          New Credit Facility, nor permit its rights in the account to be
          reached by attachment, levy, garnishment or other judicial process;

     (c)  The account arose in the ordinary course of the business of, or was
          acquired by, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary;

     (d)  The account does not arise with respect to an account debtor from whom
