     WHEREAS, amendment of the Agreement for compliance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue

months after the end of the applicable calendar year.”

	 	3.	 	By adding the following new sentence to the end of the paragraph of the
Agreement captioned “Change in Control”:

“Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph, the time or schedule of any

1

 

subsidiaries that provides for the ‘deferral of compensation’ (as such term is described
under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the ‘Code’)), may not
be accelerated except as otherwise permitted under Code Section 409A and the guidance and
Treasury regulations issued thereunder.”

	 	4.	 	By deleting the paragraph of the Agreement captioned “Severance” in its
entirety and substituting the following:

     “Severance. Subject to the provisions of paragraph 9, if your employment is
terminated other than by you voluntarily or for death, disability, or non-performance of
your duties, subject to your timely execution and delivery of a general release and such
other documents as the Company may reasonably request: (a) you will be paid a severance
benefit in an amount equal to two times the total of your then current annual base salary
plus your bonus for the immediately preceding year, provided that your severance, if any,
shall be paid in a lump sum within 60 days after your termination of employment; (b)
subject to Board and/or Committee approval, all your outstanding awards under the Plan (or
any other similar benefit plan or compensation program or arrangement of the Company or its
subsidiaries) may vest and/or become exercisable on the date of your termination, provided
that the time or schedule of any payment of your outstanding awards under the Plan (or any
other similar benefit plan or compensation program or arrangement of the Company or its
subsidiaries) that provides for the ‘deferral of compensation’ (as such term is described
under Code Section 409A), may not be accelerated except as otherwise permitted under Code
Section 409A and the guidance and Treasury regulations issued thereunder; (c) vested stock
options you hold will remain exercisable for a period of not less than 90 days from your
termination (but not longer than the original expiration date of the applicable option);
and (d) the Company will continue to provide to you, for one year following the date of the
termination of your employment, health benefits amounting to no less than the amount of
health benefits you receive at the time your employment commences. COBRA continuation
coverage will begin following this one year period.”

	 	5.	 	By adding the following new sentence to the end of the paragraph of the
Agreement captioned “Tax Gross-Up Payment”:

“Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph, payment of any Gross-Up
Payment shall not be made later than December 31 of the year next following the year in
which the excise tax imposed by Code Section 4999 is remitted to the taxing authority.”

	 	6.	 	By adding the following two new paragraphs immediately at the end of the
Agreement:

     “Reimbursements and In-kind Benefits. Any expense reimbursement under this
Agreement which provides for the ‘deferral of compensation’ (as such

2

 

term is described under Code Section 409A) shall be made promptly upon your presentation to
the Company of evidence of the fees and expenses incurred by you and in all events on or
before the last day of the taxable year following the taxable year in which such expense
was incurred by you; and no such reimbursement or the amount of expenses eligible for
reimbursement, or in-kind benefits provided, in any taxable year shall in any way affect
the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other
taxable year, except for any limit on the amount of expenses that may be reimbursed under
an arrangement described in Section 105(b) of the Code. Additionally, any right to expense
reimbursement or in-kind benefits shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for
another benefit.

     Code Section 409A. The parties intend that this Agreement and the benefits
provided hereunder qualify for an exemption from Code Section 409A, provided, however, that
if the Agreement and the benefits provided hereunder are not so exempt, they are intended
to comply with Code Section 409A to the extent applicable thereto. Notwithstanding any
provision of the Agreement to the contrary, the Agreement shall be interpreted and
construed consistent with this intent, provided that the Company shall not be required to
assume any increased economic burden in connection therewith. Although the Company intends
to administer the Agreement so that the Agreement and the benefits provided hereunder are
exempt from Code Section 409A or otherwise comply with the requirements of Code Section
409A, the Company does not represent or warrant that the Agreement will comply with Code
Section 409A or any other provision of federal, state, local, or non-United States law.
Neither the Company, its subsidiaries, nor their respective directors, officers, employees
or advisers shall be liable to you (or any other individual claiming a benefit through you)
for any tax, interest, or penalties you may owe as a result of compensation paid under the
Agreement, and the Company and its subsidiaries shall have no obligation to indemnify or
otherwise protect you from the obligation to pay any taxes pursuant to Code Section 409A.”

	 	7.	 	Except as modified herein the Agreement shall remain in full force and
effect.

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Amendment as of the date first above
written.

ARTICLE I.

PURCHASE ARRANGEMENTS

     Section 1.1 Purchase Facility.

          (a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, Seller may from time to time prior to
the Facility Termination Date request that the Groups purchase their respective Percentages of
Purchaser Interests offered for sale from time to time by delivering a Purchase Notice to the
Co-Agents in accordance with Section 1.2. Upon receipt of a copy of each Purchase Notice from
Seller, each of the Co-Agents shall determine whether its Conduit will purchase, its Group’s
Percentage of the Purchaser Interest specified in such Purchase Notice, and

     (i) in the event that Jupiter elects not to make its Percentage of such Purchase, the
Jupiter Agent shall promptly notify the Seller and, unless the Seller cancels the Purchase
Notice, each of the Jupiter Committed Purchasers severally agrees to make its Pro Rata
Share of the Jupiter Group’s Percentage of such Purchase on the terms and subject to the
conditions hereof, provided that at no time may the aggregate Capital of the Jupiter Group
at any one time outstanding
exceed the lesser of (A) the aggregate amount of the Jupiter Committed Purchasers’
Commitments divided by 102%, and (B) the Jupiter Group’s Percentage of the Purchase Limit;
and

2

 

     (ii) in the event that Liberty Street elects not to make its Percentage of such
Purchase, the Liberty Street Agent shall promptly notify the Seller and, unless the Seller
cancels its Purchase Notice, each of the Liberty Street Committed Purchasers severally
agrees to make its Pro Rata Share of the Liberty Street Group’s Percentage of such
Purchase, on the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, provided that at no time may
the aggregate Capital of the Liberty Street Group at any one time outstanding exceed the
lesser of (A) the aggregate amount of the Liberty Street Committed Purchasers’ Commitments
divided by 102%, and (B) the Liberty Street Group’s Percentage of the Purchase Limit.

          (b) Seller may, upon at least thirty (30) Business Days’ notice to the Agents, terminate in
whole or reduce in part, ratably between the Groups (and within each Group, ratably amongst the
Committed Purchasers therein), the unused portion of the Purchase Limit; provided that each partial
reduction of the Purchase Limit shall be in an amount equal to $5,000,000 or a larger integral
multiple of $500,000.

     Section 1.2 Increases. Not later than 10:00 a.m. (Chicago time) on the Business Day prior to
each Incremental Purchase, Seller shall provide the Co-Agents with notice in the form set forth as
Exhibit II hereto of each Incremental Purchase (a “Purchase Notice”). Each Purchase Notice shall be
subject to Section 6.2 hereof and, except as set forth below, shall be irrevocable and shall
specify the requested Purchase Price and each Group’s Percentage thereof (which shall not be less
than $1,000,000 in the aggregate), the proposed date of purchase (which shall be a Business Day)
and, in the case of an Incremental Purchase to be funded by a Group’s Committed Purchasers, the
requested Discount Rate and Tranche Period; provided, however, that in no event shall the aggregate
number of Incremental Purchases pursuant to this Section 1.2 exceed two (2) in any calendar week.
Following receipt of a Purchase Notice, each of the Co-Agents will determine whether its Conduit
agrees to make its Group’s Percentage of such Purchase. If a Conduit declines to make its
Percentage of the proposed Purchase (such Conduit being a “Declining Conduit”), the applicable
Co-Agent shall promptly advise the Seller and the Servicer of such fact, and the Seller may
thereupon cancel the Purchase Notice as to all Groups or, in the absence of such a cancellation,
the Incremental Purchase of that Group’s Percentage of the applicable Purchaser Interest will be
made by the Committed Purchasers in such Group. In addition, Seller may replace the Declining
Conduit and its Group by first offering the Declining Conduit’s Group’s rights under, interest in,
title to and obligations under this Agreement to the other Conduit’s Group and if the other
Conduit’s Group accepts such offer, the Declining Conduit’s Group shall assign all of its rights
under, interest in, title to and obligations under this Agreement to the other Conduit’s Group. If
such other Conduit’s Group declines such an offer, Seller shall have until the 30th day after the
other Conduit’s Group has declined such offer to find another special purpose asset-backed
commercial paper conduit having a short-term debt rating of A-1 or better by Standard & Poor’s and
P-1 by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (and
committed purchasers) to accept an assignment of the Declining Conduit’s Group rights under,
interest in, title to and obligations under this Agreement and if Seller finds such a conduit (and
committed purchasers), the Declining Conduit’s Group shall assign all of its rights under, interest
in, title to and obligations under this Agreement to such other conduit and committed purchasers.
If such replacement cannot be found within such period, at Seller’s request, the Declining

3

 

Conduit Group’s Capital shall amortize in accordance with Section 2.2 as if such Group was a
Terminating Committed Purchaser’s Group hereunder until such Capital shall be paid in full.

          On the date of each Incremental Purchase, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions
precedent set forth in Article VI, each Conduit or Committed Purchaser, as applicable, shall
deposit to an account specified by its Co-Agent, for transfer to an account designated by Seller
(or by Servicer on Seller’s behalf), in immediately available funds, no later than 12:00 noon
(Chicago time), an amount equal to (i) in the case of a Conduit, its Group’s Percentage of the
aggregate Purchase Price of the Purchaser Interests described in such Purchase Notice or (ii) in
the case of a Committed Purchaser, such Committed Purchaser’s Pro Rata Share of its Group’s
Percentage of the aggregate Purchase Price of such Purchaser Interests. Upon such transfer by a
Co-Agent to Seller’s designated account, Seller hereby, without the necessity of further action by
any Person, assigns, transfers, sets over and otherwise conveys to the Administrative Agent, for
the benefit of the Purchasers providing such funds, the applicable Purchaser Interest.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Liberty Street Agent shall pay, on May 4, 2005, $40,000,000
(the “Equalization Payment”) to the Jupiter Agent at the following account: Acct title: Jupiter,
Bank One, NA, ABA # 071000013, Acct # 5948118, SWIFT address: FNBCUS44XXX, Funding Contact: Raquel
Thompson (312) 732-5366, Reference: Tenneco Automotive RSA, so that (after giving effect to such
Equalization Payment and any funding by each Group of any Incremental Purchase to be made on May 4,
2005) each Group’s Percentage of the outstanding Aggregate Capital, after giving effect to any
funding of such Incremental Purchase and the addition of the Liberty Street Group provided for
herein, equals the amount which would be such Group’s Percentage of the outstanding Aggregate
Capital if all Groups (including the Liberty Street Group) funded their respective Group’s
Percentage of all Incremental Purchases on or prior to May 4, 2005 (after giving to all payments in
respect of the Aggregate Capital outstanding on or prior to May 4, 2005).

     Section 1.3 Decreases. Not later than 12:00 noon (Chicago time) on the Business Day prior to a
proposed reduction in Aggregate Capital outstanding, Seller shall provide the Co-Agents with
written notice of any reduction requested by the Seller of the Aggregate Capital outstanding (a
“Reduction Notice”). Such Reduction Notice shall designate (i) the date (the “Proposed Reduction
Date”) upon which any such reduction of Aggregate Capital shall occur (which date shall be not
earlier than one (1) Business Day after the Reduction Notice is given), and (ii) the amount of
Aggregate Capital to be reduced (the “Aggregate Reduction”), which shall be applied ratably to the
Purchaser Interests of each Group in accordance with the amount of Capital owing to each and
within each Group, ratably in accordance with the amount of Capital, if any, owing to each
member of such Group.

     Section 1.4 Payment Requirements. All amounts to be paid or deposited by a Seller Party
pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be paid or deposited in accordance with the terms
hereof no later than 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time) on the day when due in immediately available funds.
If such amounts are payable to the Administrative Agent or a member of the Jupiter Group, they
shall be paid for its account to the Jupiter Agent, at 1 Bank One Plaza, Chicago, Illinois 60670
until otherwise notified by the Jupiter Agent (the “Jupiter Group Account”). If such amounts are
payable to the Liberty Street Agent, the Administrative Agent or

4

 

to a member of the Liberty Street Group, they shall be paid to Liberty Street Funding Corp.’s
account no. 2158-13 at The Bank of Nova Scotia — New York Agency, in New York, New York, ABA No.
026-002532, until otherwise notified by the Liberty Street Agent or the Administrative Agent (the
“Liberty Street Group Account”). Upon notice to Seller, the Administrative Agent may debit any
account of Seller maintained at JPMorgan Chase for all amounts due and payable hereunder. Except
for computations of Yield based on the Prime Rate, all computations of Yield, per annum fees
calculated as part of any CP Costs, per annum fees hereunder and per annum fees under the Fee
Letter shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days elapsed. All
computations of Yield or Default Fee based on the Prime Rate shall be computed for actual days
elapsed on the basis of a year consisting of 365 (or, when appropriate, 366) days. If any amount
hereunder shall be payable on a day which is not a Business Day, such amount shall be payable on
the next succeeding Business Day.

ARTICLE II.

PAYMENTS AND COLLECTIONS

     Section 2.1 Payments. Notwithstanding any limitation on recourse contained in this Agreement,
Seller shall immediately pay to each of the Co-Agents when due, for the account of the relevant
Purchaser or Purchasers in its Group, on a full recourse basis: (i) such fees as are set forth in
the applicable Fee Letter (which fees shall be sufficient to pay all fees owing to the Committed
Purchasers in such Co-Agent’s Group), (ii) all CP Costs owing to such Co-Agent’s Conduit (which
shall be due and payable in arrears on Monthly Payment Dates for the Accrual Period then most
recently ended), (iii) all amounts payable as Yield to the Committed Purchasers in such Co-Agent’s
Group (which shall be due and payable on the last day of the applicable Tranche Period), (iv) such
Co-Agent’s Group’s Percentage of all amounts payable as Deemed Collections (which shall be
immediately due and payable by Seller and applied to reduce outstanding Aggregate Capital hereunder
in accordance with Sections 2.2 and 2.3 hereof), (v) such Co-Agent’s Group’s Percentage of all
amounts payable to reduce the aggregate Capital of the Purchaser Interests, if required, pursuant
to Section 2.6, (vi) such Co-Agent’s Group’s share of all amounts payable pursuant to Article X, if
any, (vii) such Co-Agent’s Group’s share of all Broken Funding Costs and (viii) such Co-Agent’s
Group’s Percentage of all Default Fees (all of the foregoing in clauses (i)-(viii), collectively,
the “Recourse Obligations”). If Seller fails to pay any of the Recourse Obligations when due: (a) a
Settlement Date shall occur, and (b) Seller agrees to pay, on demand, the Default Fee on
the unpaid portion of such Recourse Obligation until paid in full. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no provision of this Agreement or the Fee Letter shall require the payment or permit the
collection of any amounts hereunder in excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law. If at any
time Seller receives any Collections or is deemed to receive any Collections, Seller shall
immediately pay such Collections or Deemed Collections to the Servicer for application in
accordance with the terms and conditions hereof and, at all times prior to such payment, such
Collections or Deemed Collections shall be held in trust by Seller for the exclusive benefit of the
Purchasers and the Agents.

     Section 2.2 Collections Prior to Amortization. Prior to the Amortization Date, any Collections
and/or Deemed Collections received by the Servicer shall be set aside and held in trust by the
Servicer for the payment of any accrued and unpaid Aggregate Unpaids, for a

5

 

Reinvestment as provided in this Section 2.2 or to reduce the Aggregate Capital outstanding in
accordance with Section 1.3. If at any time any Collections are received by the Servicer prior to
the Amortization Date: (i) the Servicer shall set aside the Termination Percentage (hereinafter
defined) of Collections allocable to each Terminating Committed Purchaser’s Group and (ii) Seller
hereby requests, and the Purchasers (other than any Terminating Committed Purchasers) in each Group
are hereby deemed to make, simultaneously with such receipt, a reinvestment (each a “Reinvestment”)
with each Group’s Percentage of each and every Collection received by the Servicer that is part of
any Purchaser Interest (other than the Termination Percentage of any Collections allocable to each
Terminating Committed Purchaser’s Group and Collections set aside to reduce the Aggregate Capital
outstanding in accordance with Section 1.3), such that after giving effect to such Reinvestment,
the amount of Capital of such Purchaser Interest immediately after such receipt and corresponding
Reinvestment shall be equal to the amount of Capital immediately prior to such receipt. On each
Settlement Date prior to the occurrence of the Amortization Date, the Servicer shall remit to the
applicable Co-Agent’s account specified in Section 1.4 such Co-Agent’s Group’s Percentage of the
amounts set aside during the period since the prior Settlement Date that have not been subject to a
Reinvestment or used for an Aggregate Reduction pursuant to Section 1.3 and apply such amounts (if
not previously paid in accordance with Section 2.1): first, to reduce unpaid CP Costs, Yield and
other Recourse Obligations, if any, that are then due and owing to the members of such Group, and
second, to reduce the Capital of all Purchaser Interests of Terminating Committed Purchasers in
such Group, applied ratably to each such Terminating Committed Purchaser according to its
respective Termination Percentage. If any Group’s Capital, CP Costs, Yield and other Recourse
Obligations shall be reduced to zero, such Group’s Percentage of any additional Collections
received by the Servicer (i) if applicable, shall be remitted to the Agent’s account no later than
11:00 a.m. (Chicago time) to the extent required to fund such Group’s Percentage of any Aggregate
Reduction on such Settlement Date and (ii) any balance remaining thereafter shall be remitted from
the Servicer to Seller on such Settlement Date. Each Terminating Committed Purchaser shall be
allocated a ratable portion of Collections from the date of any assignment by Conduit pursuant to
Section
13.6 (the “Termination Date”) until such Terminating Committed Purchaser’s Capital shall be paid in
full. This ratable portion shall be calculated on the
Termination Date of each Terminating Committed Purchaser as a percentage equal to (i) Capital of
such Terminating Committed Purchaser outstanding on its Termination Date, divided by (ii) the
Aggregate Capital outstanding on such Termination Date (the “Termination Percentage”). Each
Terminating Committed Purchaser’s Termination Percentage shall remain constant prior to the
Amortization Date. On and after the Amortization Date, each Termination Percentage shall be
disregarded, and each Terminating Committed Purchaser’s Capital thereafter shall be reduced ratably
with all Committed Purchasers in accordance with Section 2.3.

     Section 2.3 Collections Following Amortization. On the Amortization Date and on each day
thereafter, the Servicer shall set aside and hold in trust, for the applicable Purchasers in each
Group, the applicable Group’s Percentage of all Collections received on each such day and an
additional amount for the payment of any accrued and unpaid Recourse Obligations owed by Seller and
not previously paid by Seller in accordance with Section 2.1. On and after the Amortization Date,
the Servicer shall, upon the request from time to time by (or pursuant to standing instructions
from) the Administrative Agent or pursuant to Section 1.3 (i) remit to each Co-Agent’s account
specified in Section 1.4, such Co-Agent’s Group’s Percentage of the

6

 

amounts set aside pursuant to the preceding sentence, and (ii) apply such amounts to reduce such
Group’s Capital associated with each such Purchaser Interest and any other Aggregate Unpaids owing
to such Group.

     Section 2.4 Application of Collections. If there shall be insufficient funds on deposit for
the Servicer to distribute funds in payment in full of the aforementioned amounts pursuant to
Section 2.2 or 2.3 (as applicable), the Servicer shall distribute funds in the following order of
priority:

     first, to the Servicer, in payment of the Servicer’s reasonable out-of-pocket
costs and expenses in connection with servicing, administering and collecting the
Receivables, including the Servicing Fee, if Seller or one of its Affiliates is not
then acting as the Servicer,

     second, (i) to the Administrative Agent in reimbursement of its reasonable costs of
collection and enforcement of this Agreement on behalf of the Purchasers and (ii) to the
Agents, in reimbursement of reasonable fees and expenses of a common legal counsel, or if
such common legal counsel determines that it cannot continue representation due to a
business or ethical conflict, separate legal counsel, representing Agents in connection
with such collection and enforcement,

     third, to each of the Co-Agents, ratably in accordance with its Group’s respective
Percentage, in payment of all accrued and unpaid fees under the Fee Letter, CP Costs
and Yield when and as due (to be shared ratably amongst the Purchasers in each Group in
accordance with their respective shares thereof),

     fourth, to each of the Co-Agents, ratably in accordance with its Group’s respective
Percentage, in reduction (if applicable) of its Group’s Capital (to be shared ratably
amongst the Purchasers in each Group in accordance with their respective shares
thereof),

     fifth, to each of the Co-Agents, ratably in accordance with its Group’s
respective Percentage, in ratable payment of all other unpaid Recourse Obligations
owing to such Group,

     sixth, in payment of the Servicer’s costs and expenses in connection with servicing,
administering and collecting the Receivables, including the Servicing Fee, if Seller or
one of its Affiliates is then acting as the Servicer, and

     seventh, after the Aggregate Unpaids have been indefeasibly reduced to zero, to
Seller.

     Section 2.5 Payment Rescission. No payment of any of the Aggregate Unpaids shall be considered
paid or applied hereunder to the extent that, at any time, all or any portion of such payment or
application is rescinded by application of law or judicial authority, or must otherwise be returned
or refunded for any reason. Seller shall remain obligated for the amount of any payment or
application so rescinded, returned or refunded, and shall promptly pay to each applicable Co-Agent
(for application to the Person or Persons who suffered such rescission,

7

 

return or refund) the full amount thereof, plus the Default Fee from the date of any such
rescission, return or refunding.

     Section 2.6 Maximum Purchaser Interests. Seller shall ensure that the Purchaser Interests of
the Purchasers do not exceed in the aggregate 100%. If the aggregate of the Purchaser Interests of
the Purchasers exceeds 100%, Seller shall determine the amount that must be applied to the
reduction of Capital of the Purchaser Interests to eliminate such excess (the “Mandatory Reduction
Amount”), and Seller shall pay, from funds available to Seller under Sections 2.2 and 2.3, to each
of the Co-Agents, not later than the next Business Day, its Group’s respective Percentage of the
Mandatory Reduction Amount for distribution to the Purchasers in such Group ratably in accordance
with their respective amounts of Capital outstanding.

     Section 2.7 Clean Up Call. Servicer shall have the right (after providing Agents with not less
than two (2) Business Days’ prior written notice), at any time following the reduction of the
Aggregate Capital to a level that is less than 10.0% of the original Purchase Limit, to purchase
from the Purchasers to the extent of available Collections for this purpose, all, but not less than
all, of the then outstanding Purchaser Interests. The aggregate purchase price in respect thereof
shall be an amount equal to the Aggregate Unpaids through the date of such repurchase, payable in
immediately available funds. Such repurchase shall be without representation, warranty or recourse
of any kind by, on the part of, or against any Purchaser or any Agent.

ARTICLE III.

CONDUIT FUNDING

     Section 3.1 CP Costs. Seller shall pay CP Costs with respect to the Capital funded by Conduit
for each day that any Capital in respect of such Purchaser Interest is outstanding. Capital funded
by a Conduit substantially with Pooled Commercial Paper will accrue CP Costs each day on a pro rata
basis, based upon the percentage share such Capital represents in relation to all assets held by
such Conduit and funded substantially with related Pooled Commercial Paper.

     Section 3.2 CP Costs Payments. On each Monthly Payment Date, Seller shall pay to each Co-Agent
(for the benefit of its Conduit) an aggregate amount equal to all accrued and unpaid CP Costs in
respect of all Capital of such Conduit for the immediately preceding Accrual Period in accordance
with Article II.

     Section 3.3 Calculation of CP Costs. Not later than the 5th Business Day of each
month hereafter, each Conduit shall calculate the aggregate amount of CP Costs of such Conduit
owing to it for the applicable Accrual Period and shall notify Seller of such aggregate amount.

ARTICLE IV.

COMMITTED PURCHASER FUNDING

     Section 4.1 Committed Purchaser Funding. Capital funded by the Committed Purchasers in a Group
shall accrue Yield for each day during each Tranche Period at either the

8

 

LIBO Rate, the Transaction Rate or the Prime Rate in accordance with the terms and conditions
hereof. Until Seller gives notice to the applicable Co-Agent of another Discount Rate in accordance
with Section 4.4, the initial Discount Rate for any interest in a Purchaser Interest transferred to
the Committed Purchasers in a Group by the applicable Conduit pursuant to the terms and conditions
of any Liquidity Agreement shall be the Prime Rate. If the Committed Purchasers in a Group acquire
by assignment from the applicable Conduit any interest in a Purchaser Interest pursuant to a
Liquidity Agreement, Capital allocable to each interest so assigned shall each be deemed to have a
new Tranche Period commencing on the date of any such assignment.

     Section 4.2 Yield Payments. On the last day of each Tranche Period for each portion of Capital
funded by the Committed Purchasers in a Group, Seller shall pay to the applicable Co-Agent (for the
benefit of the Committed Purchasers in its Group) an aggregate amount equal to the accrued and
unpaid Yield for the entire Tranche Period of each such portion of Capital in accordance with
Article II.

     Section 4.3 Selection and Continuation of Tranche Periods.

          (a) With consultation from (and approval by) the applicable Co-Agent, Seller shall from time
to time request Tranche Periods for Capital funded by the Committed Purchasers in each Group.

          (b) Seller or the applicable Co-Agent, upon notice to and consent by the other received at
least three (3) Business Days prior to the end of a Tranche Period (the “Terminating Tranche”) for
any portion of Capital, may, effective on the last day of the Terminating Tranche: (i) divide any
such portion of Capital into multiple portions, (ii) combine any such portion of Capital with one
or more other portions that have a Terminating Tranche ending on the same day as such Terminating
Tranche or (iii) combine any such portion of Capital with a new interest in the Purchaser Interests
to be purchased on the day such Terminating Tranche ends, provided that in no event may any portion
of Capital of a Conduit be combined with any portion of Capital of its Committed Purchasers.

     Section 4.4 Committed Purchaser Discount Rates. Seller may select the LIBO Rate, the
Transaction Rate or the Prime Rate for each portion of Capital of the Committed Purchasers in each
Group. Seller shall by 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time): (i) at
least three (3) Business Days prior to the expiration of any Terminating Tranche with respect
to which the LIBO Rate is being requested as a new Discount Rate and (ii) at least one (1) Business
Day prior to the expiration of any Terminating Tranche with respect to which the Prime Rate or the
Transaction Rate is being requested as a new Discount Rate, give the applicable Co-Agent
irrevocable notice of the new Discount Rate for the portion of Capital of its Group associated with
such Terminating Tranche. Until Seller gives notice to the applicable Co-Agent of another Discount
Rate, the initial Discount Rate for any Purchaser Interest transferred to the Committed Purchasers
pursuant to the terms and conditions of any Liquidity Agreement shall be the Prime Rate.

     Section 4.5 Suspension of the LIBO Rate.

          (a) If prior to the first day of any Tranche Period:

9

 

     (i) the applicable Co-Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be
conclusive and binding on Seller) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the
relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBO
Rate for such Tranche Period, or

     (ii) the applicable Co-Agent shall have received notice from Committed Purchasers
holding Commitments in excess of 50% of the aggregate of all Commitments in such
Co-Agent’s Group that the LIBO Rate determined for such Tranche Period will not adequately
and fairly reflect the cost of acquiring or maintaining a Purchaser Interest at such LIBO
Rate,

such Co-gent shall give fax or telephonic notice thereto to Seller and the relevant Committed
Purchasers as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given (A) any Capital funded by the
Committed Purchasers in such Group requested to accrue Yield at a LIBO Rate as of the first day of
such Tranche Period shall instead accrue Yield at the Prime Rate, (B) any Capital funded by the
Committed Purchasers in such Group that is already accruing Yield at a LIBO Rate shall, after the
last day of such Tranche Period, accrue Yield at the Prime Rate, and (C) until such notice is
withdrawn, Seller shall not request that Yield accrue at a LIBO Rate on any further Purchaser
Interests of such Group.

          (b) If less than all of the Committed Purchasers in a Group give a notice to the applicable
Co-Agent pursuant to Section 4.5(a)(ii), each Committed Purchaser in such Group which gave such a
notice shall be obliged, at the request of Seller, Conduit or such Co-Agent, to assign all of its
rights and obligations hereunder to (i) another Committed Purchaser or (ii) another funding entity
nominated by Seller or the applicable Co-Agent that is acceptable to such Conduit and willing to
participate in this Agreement through the Liquidity Termination Date in the place of such notifying
Committed Purchaser; provided that (i) the notifying Committed Purchaser receives payment in full,
pursuant to an Assignment Agreement, of an amount equal to such notifying Committed Purchaser’s Pro
Rata Share of the Capital and Yield owing to all of the Committed Purchasers in such Group and all
accrued but unpaid fees and other costs and expenses payable in respect of its Pro Rata Share of
the Purchaser Interests of the Committed Purchasers in such Group, and (ii) the replacement
Committed Purchaser otherwise satisfies the requirements of Section 12.1(b).

     Section 4.6 Liquidity Agreement Fundings. The parties hereto acknowledge that each Conduit may
assign all or any portion of its Purchaser Interests to the Committed Purchasers in its Group at
any time pursuant to its Liquidity Agreement to finance or refinance the necessary portion of its
Purchaser Interests through a funding under such Liquidity Agreement to the extent available. The
fundings under each Liquidity Agreement will accrue Yield in accordance with this Article IV.
Regardless of whether a funding of Purchaser Interests by Committed
Purchasers constitutes the direct purchase of an interest in Purchaser Interests hereunder, an
assignment under the applicable Liquidity Agreement of an interest in Purchaser Interests
originally funded by a Conduit or the sale of one or more participations or other interests under
such Liquidity Agreement of an interest in a Purchaser Interest originally funded by a Conduit,
each Committed Purchaser participating in a funding of an interest in Purchaser Interests shall
have the rights and obligations of a “Purchaser” hereunder with the same force and effect as if it
had directly purchased such interest from Seller hereunder.

ARTICLE V.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

     Section 5.1 Representations and Warranties of the Seller Parties. Each Seller Party hereby
represents and warrants to the Agents and the Purchasers, as to itself, as of the date hereof and
as of the date of each Incremental Purchase and the date of each Reinvestment that:

          (a) Corporate Existence and Power. Such Seller Party is a corporation duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of Delaware and no other state or jurisdiction, and
such jurisdiction must maintain a public record showing the organization to have been organized.
Such Seller Party is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing as a foreign
corporation, and has and holds all corporate power and all governmental licenses, authorizations,
consents and approvals required to carry on its business in each jurisdiction in which its business
is conducted except where the failure to so qualify or so hold could not reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect.

          (b) Power and Authority; Due Authorization, Execution and Delivery. The execution and delivery
by such Seller Party of this Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which it is a party,
and the performance of its obligations hereunder and thereunder and, in the case of Seller,
Seller’s use of the proceeds of purchases made hereunder, are within its corporate powers and
authority and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on its part. This
Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which such Seller Party is a party has been duly
executed and delivered by such Seller Party.

          (c) No Conflict. The execution and delivery by such Seller Party of this Agreement and each
other Transaction Document to which it is a party, and the performance of its obligations hereunder
and thereunder do not contravene or violate (i) its certificate or articles of incorporation or
by-laws, (ii) any law, rule or regulation applicable to it, (iii) any restrictions under any
agreement, contract or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of its property is
bound, or (iv) any order, writ,
judgment, award, injunction or decree binding on or affecting it or its property, and do not
result in the creation or imposition of any Adverse Claim on assets of such Seller Party or its
Subsidiaries (except as created hereunder) except, in any case, where such contravention or
violation could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; and no transaction
contemplated hereby requires compliance with any bulk sales act or similar law.

          (d) Governmental Authorization. Other than the filing of the financing statements required
hereunder, no authorization or approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any
governmental authority or regulatory body is required for the due execution and delivery by such
Seller Party of this Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which it is a party and the
performance of its obligations hereunder and thereunder.

          (e) Actions, Suits. There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending, or to the best of such
Seller Party’s knowledge, threatened, against or affecting such Seller Party, or any of its
properties, in or before any court, arbitrator or other body, that could reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect.

11

 

          (f) Binding Effect. This Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which such Seller
Party is a party constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of such Seller Party
enforceable against such Seller Party in accordance with their respective terms, except as such
enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar
laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity
(regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).

          (g) Accuracy of Information. All information heretofore furnished by such Seller Party or any
of its Affiliates to the Agents or the Purchasers for purposes of or in connection with this
Agreement, any of the other Transaction Documents or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby
is, and all such information hereafter furnished by such Seller Party or any of its Affiliates to
the Agents or the Purchasers will be, true and accurate in every material respect on the date such
information is stated or certified and does not and will not contain any material misstatement of
fact or omit to state a material fact or any fact necessary to make the statements contained
therein, taken as a whole, not misleading.

          (h) Use of Proceeds. No proceeds of any purchase hereunder will be used (i) for a purpose that
violates, or would be inconsistent with, Regulation T, U or X promulgated by the Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System from time to time or (ii) to acquire any security in any transaction
which is subject to Section 12, 13 or 14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

          (i) Good Title. Immediately prior to each purchase hereunder, Seller shall be the legal and
beneficial owner of the Receivables and Related Security with respect thereto, free and clear of
any Adverse Claim, except as created by the Transaction Documents. There have been duly filed all
financing statements or other similar instruments or documents necessary under the UCC (or any
comparable law) of all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect Seller’s ownership interest in each
Receivable, its Collections and the Related Security.

          (j) Perfection. This Agreement, together with the filing of the financing statements
contemplated hereby, is effective to, and shall, upon each purchase hereunder, transfer to the
Administrative Agent for the benefit of the relevant Purchaser or Purchasers (and the
Administrative Agent for the benefit of such Purchaser or Purchasers shall acquire from Seller) a
valid and perfected first priority undivided percentage ownership or security interest in each
Receivable existing or hereafter arising and in the Related Security and Collections with respect
thereto, free and clear of any Adverse Claim, except as created by the Transactions Documents.
There have been duly filed all financing statements or other similar instruments or documents
necessary under the UCC (or any comparable law) of all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect the
Administrative Agent’s (on behalf of the Purchasers) ownership or security interest in the
Receivables, the Related Security and the Collections. Such Seller Party’s jurisdiction of
organization is a jurisdiction whose law generally requires information concerning the existence of
a nonpossessory security interest to be made generally available in a filing, record or
registration system as a condition or result of such a security interest’s obtaining priority over
the rights of a lien creditor which respect to collateral.

          (k) Places of Business and Locations of Records. The principal places of business and chief
executive office of such Seller Party and the offices where it keeps all of its

12

 

Records are located at the address(es) listed on Exhibit III or such other locations of which the
Administrative Agent has been notified in accordance with Section 7.2(a) in jurisdictions where all
action required by Section 14.4(a) has been taken and completed. Seller’s Federal Employer
Identification Number is correctly set forth on Exhibit III.

          (l) Collections. The conditions and requirements set forth in Section 7.1(j) and Section 8.2
have at all times been satisfied and duly performed. The names and addresses of all Collection
Banks, together with the account numbers of the Collection Accounts of Seller at each Collection
Bank and the post office box number of each Lock-Box, are listed on Exhibit IV. Seller has not
granted any Person, other than the Administrative Agent as contemplated by this Agreement, dominion
and control of any Lock-Box or Collection Account, or the right to take dominion and control of any
such Lock-Box or Collection Account at a future time or upon the occurrence of a future event.

          (m) Material Adverse Effect. (i) The initial Servicer represents and warrants that since
December 31, 2004, no event has occurred that would have a material adverse effect on the financial
condition or operations of the initial Servicer and its Subsidiaries or the ability of the initial
Servicer to perform its obligations under this Agreement, and (ii) Seller represents and warrants
that since the date of this Agreement, no event has occurred that would have a material adverse
effect on (A) the financial condition or operations of Seller, (B) the ability of Seller to perform
its obligations under the Transaction Documents, or (C) the collectibility of the Receivables
generally or any material portion of the Receivables.

          (n) Names. The name in which Seller has executed this Agreement is identical to the name of
Seller as indicated on the public record of its state of organization which shows Seller to have
been organized. In the past five (5) years, Seller has not used
any corporate names, trade names or assumed names other than the name in which it has executed
this Agreement and the names set forth on Exhibit VI hereto.

          (o)
Ownership of Seller. Tenneco Operating owns, directly or indirectly, 100% of the issued
and outstanding capital stock of Seller. Such capital stock is validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable, and there are no options, warrants or other rights to acquire securities of Seller.

          (p)
Not a Holding Company or an Investment Company. Such Seller Party is not a “holding
company” or a “subsidiary holding company” of a “holding company” within the meaning of the Public
Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended, or any successor statute. Such Seller Party is not
an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or
any successor statute.

          (q) Compliance with Law. Such Seller Party has complied in all respects with all applicable
laws, rules, regulations, orders, writs, judgments, injunctions, decrees or awards to which it may
be subject, except where the failure to so comply could not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect. Each Receivable, together with the Contract related thereto, does not
contravene any laws, rules or regulations applicable thereto (including, without limitation, laws,
rules and regulations relating to truth in lending, fair credit billing, fair credit reporting,
equal credit opportunity, fair debt collection practices and privacy), and no part of

13

 

such Contract is in violation of any such law, rule or regulation, except where such contravention
or violation could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          (r) Compliance with Credit and Collection Policy. Such Seller Party has complied with the
Credit and Collection Policy with regard to each Receivable and in all material respects with the
related Contract, and has not made any change to such Credit and Collection Policy, except such
change as to which the Administrative Agent has been notified in accordance with Section
7.1(a)(vii).

          (s) Payments to the Applicable Originator. With respect to each Receivable transferred to
Seller under a Receivables Sale Agreement by the applicable Originator, Seller has given reasonably
equivalent value to such Originator in consideration therefor and such transfer was not made for or
on account of an antecedent debt. No transfer by any Originator of any Receivable under its
Receivables Sale Agreement is or may be voidable under any section of the Bankruptcy Reform Act of
1978 (11 U.S.C. §§ 101 et seq.), as amended.

          (t) Enforceability of Contracts. Each Contract with respect to each Receivable is effective to
create, and has created, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the related Obligor to pay the
Outstanding Balance of the Receivable created thereunder and any accrued interest thereon,
enforceable against the Obligor in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be
limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws relating to or
limiting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether
enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).

          (u) Eligible Receivables. Each Receivable included in the Net Receivables Balance as an
Eligible Receivable on the date of its purchase under the applicable Receivables Sale Agreement was
an Eligible Receivable on such purchase date.

          (v) Net Receivables Balance. Seller has determined that, immediately after giving effect to
each purchase hereunder, the Net Receivables Balance is at least equal to the sum of (i) the
Aggregate Capital, plus (ii) the Aggregate Reserves.

          (w) Accounting. The manner in which such Seller Party accounts for the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and the applicable Receivables Sale Agreement does not jeopardize
the true sale analysis.

     Section 5.2 Committed Purchaser Representations and Warranties. Each Committed Purchaser
hereby represents and warrants to its applicable Co-Agent, its Conduit, the Administrative Agent
and the Seller Parties that:

          (a)
Existence and Power. Such Committed Purchaser is a corporation or a banking association
duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of
incorporation or organization, and has all corporate power to perform its obligations hereunder.

          (b) No Conflict. The execution and delivery by such Committed Purchaser of this Agreement and
the performance of its obligations hereunder are within its corporate powers, have been duly
authorized by all necessary corporate action, do not contravene or violate (i) its

14

 

certificate or articles of incorporation or association or by-laws, (ii) any law, rule or
regulation applicable to it, (iii) any restrictions under any agreement, contract or instrument to
which it is a party or any of its property is bound, or (iv) any order, writ, judgment, award,
injunction or decree binding on or affecting it or its property, and do not result in the creation

          (c) Governmental Authorization. No authorization or approval or other action by, and no notice
to or filing with, any governmental authority or regulatory body is required for the due execution
and delivery by such Committed Purchaser of this Agreement and the performance of its obligations
hereunder.

          (d) Binding Effect. This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such

ARTICLE VI.

CONDITIONS OF PURCHASES

     Section 6.1 Conditions Precedent to Amendment and Restatement. The effectiveness of the

Agents shall have received all fees and expenses required to be paid on such date pursuant to
the terms of this Agreement and the Fee Letter.

Investors Service, Inc. or unless there has been a change in applicable law; and (d) on the date of
each such Incremental Purchase or Reinvestment, the following statements shall be true (and
acceptance of the proceeds of such Incremental Purchase or Reinvestment shall be deemed a
representation and warranty by Seller that such statements are then true):

               (i) the representations and warranties set forth in Section 5.1 excluding, in the case of any
Reinvestment, Section 5.1(e) (except as it relates to a Material Adverse Effect of the of the type

purchase and direct Seller to pay to each Co-Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers in its Group
an amount equal to such Group’s Percentage of the Collections prior to the Amortization Date that
shall have been applied to the affected Reinvestment.

18

 

          (d) Audits. Such Seller Party will furnish to the Agents from time to time such information
with respect to it and the Receivables as any Agent may reasonably request. Such Seller Party will,
from time to time during regular business hours as requested by the Agents, acting together, upon
reasonable notice and at the sole cost of such Seller Party, permit a single firm acting for both
Co-Agents: (i) to examine and make copies of and abstracts from all Records in the possession or
under the control of such Person relating to the Receivables and the Related Security, including,
without limitation, the related Contracts, and (ii) to visit the offices and properties of such
Person for the purpose of examining such materials described in clause (i) above, and to discuss

or any Person’s performance under any of the Transaction Documents or any Person’s performance
under the Contracts and, in each case, with any of the officers or employees of Seller or the
Servicer having knowledge of such matters (the procedures described in the foregoing clauses (i)

not more than two per calendar year so long as (i) no Amortization Event has occurred and is
continuing and (ii) the immediately preceding Audit was satisfactory to the Agents in all material
respects.

          (e) Keeping and Marking of Records and Books.

               (i) The Servicer will maintain and implement administrative and operating procedures
(including, without limitation, an ability to recreate records evidencing Receivables in the event
of the destruction of the originals thereof), and keep and maintain all documents, books, records
and other information reasonably necessary or advisable for the collection of all Receivables
(including, without limitation, records adequate to permit the immediate identification of each new
Receivable and all Collections of and adjustments to each existing Receivable). The Servicer will
give the Agents notice of any material change in the administrative and operating procedures
referred to in the previous sentence.

               (ii) Such Seller Party will: (A) on or prior to the date hereof, mark its master data
processing records and other books and records relating to the
Purchaser Interests with a legend, acceptable to the Administrative Agent, describing the
Purchaser Interests and (B) upon the request of the Administrative Agent following the occurrence
and during the continuance of any Amortization Event: (x) mark each Contract constituting an

Administrative Agent all Contracts (including, without limitation, all multiple originals of any
such Contract) relating to the Receivables.

          (f) Compliance with Contracts and Credit and Collection Policy. Such Seller Party will timely
and fully (i) perform and comply with all material provisions, covenants and other promises
required to be observed by it under the Contracts related to the Receivables, and (ii) comply in
all respects with the Credit and Collection Policy in regard to each Receivable and the related
Contract.

          (g) Performance and Enforcement of Receivables Sale Agreement. Seller will, and will require
the applicable Originator to, perform each of their respective obligations and undertakings under
and pursuant to the applicable Receivables Sale Agreement, will purchase Receivables thereunder in
strict compliance with the terms thereof and will vigorously

19

 

enforce the rights and remedies accorded to Seller under such Receivables Sale Agreement. Seller
will take all actions to perfect and enforce its rights and interests (and the rights and interests
of the Agents and the Purchasers as assignees of Seller) under the Receivables Sale Agreements as
the Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably request, including, without limitation,
making claims to which it may be entitled under any indemnity, reimbursement or similar provision
contained in the Receivables Sale Agreements.

          (h) Ownership. Seller will, and will require the Originators to, take all necessary action to
(i) vest legal and equitable title to the Receivables, the Related Security and the Collections
purchased under the Receivables Sale Agreements irrevocably in Seller, free and clear of any
Adverse Claims other than Adverse Claims in favor of the Agents and the Purchasers (including,
without limitation, the filing of all financing statements or other similar instruments or
documents necessary under the UCC (or any comparable law) of all appropriate jurisdictions to
perfect Seller’s interest in such Receivables, Related Security and Collections and such other
action to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the interest of Seller therein as any Agent may
reasonably request), and (ii) establish and maintain, in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the
benefit of the Purchasers, a valid and perfected first priority undivided percentage ownership
interest (and/or a valid and perfected first priority security interest) in all Receivables,
Related Security and Collections to the full extent contemplated herein, free and clear of any
Adverse Claims other than Adverse Claims in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of
the Purchasers (including, without limitation, the filing of all financing statements or other
similar instruments or documents necessary under the UCC (or any comparable law) of all appropriate
jurisdictions to perfect the Administrative Agent’s (for the benefit of the Purchasers) interest in
such Receivables, Related Security and Collections and such other action to perfect, protect or
more fully evidence the interest of
the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers as the Administrative Agent may
reasonably request).

          (i) Purchasers’ Reliance. Seller acknowledges that the Purchasers are entering into the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement in reliance upon Seller’s identity as a legal entity
that is separate from each of the Tenneco Automotive Entities. Therefore, from and after the date
of execution and delivery of this Agreement, Seller shall take all reasonable steps, including,
without limitation, all steps that any Agent or Purchaser may from time to time reasonably request,
to maintain Seller’s identity as a separate legal entity and to make it manifest to third parties
that Seller is an entity with assets and liabilities distinct from those of each of the Tenneco
Automotive Entities and not just a division of any of the Tenneco Automotive Entities. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing and in addition to the other covenants set forth herein:

                    (A) Seller will at all times have a board of directors consisting of at least two members, at
least one member of which is an Independent Director, and shall compensate the Independent Director
from its own funds;

                    (B) Seller will maintain its own telephone number, stationery, and other business forms
separate from those of any other Person (including each Tenneco Automotive Entity) and will conduct
business in its own name except that, as a general matter, Obligors will not be informed in the
first instance that Tenneco Operating is acting on behalf of Seller as servicer;

20

 

                    (C) Seller will conduct its business at an office separate from the offices of the Originators
(which however, may be within the premises of and leased (at a fair market rent) from a Tenneco
Automotive Entity in which case such office will be clearly identified (by signage or otherwise));

                    (D) Seller will require that any consolidated financial statements of the Tenneco Automotive
Entities that include Seller will contain a footnote to the effect that the Originators have sold
the Receivable Assets to Seller, which is a separate legal entity and which has then entered into
this Agreement. Separate unaudited balance sheets and statements of income and cash flows (with no
footnote disclosures) will also be prepared for Seller. In addition to the aforementioned footnote
to any consolidated financial statement, Seller will take (or require the Originators to take)
certain actions to disclose publicly Seller’s separate existence and the transactions, including,
without limitation, through the filing of UCC financing statements. Seller will not conceal or
permit the Originators to conceal from any interested party any transfers contemplated by the
Transaction Documents, although Obligors will not be affirmatively informed in the first instance
of the transfer of their obligations;

                    (E) Seller will ensure that any allocations of direct, indirect or overhead expenses for items
shared between Seller and any Tenneco Automotive Entity that are not included as part of the
Servicing Fee will be made among such entities to the extent practical on the basis of actual use
or value of services rendered and otherwise on a basis reasonably related to actual use or the
value of services rendered;

                    (F) Except as provided in paragraph (E) above regarding the allocation of certain shared
overhead items, Seller will pay its own operating expenses and liabilities from its own funds;

                    (G) Seller will ensure that each of the Tenneco Automotive Entities, on the one hand, and
Seller, on the other hand, maintain its assets and liabilities in such a manner that it is not
costly or difficult to segregate, ascertain or otherwise identify Seller’s individual assets and
liabilities from those of the other or from those of any other person or entity. Except as set
forth below, Seller will maintain its own books of account and corporate records separate from the
Tenneco Automotive Entities. Seller will not commingle or pool its funds (or other assets) or
liabilities with those of any except as specifically provided in this Agreement with respect to the
temporary commingling of collections of the Receivable Assets and except with respect to Servicer’s
retention of Records pertaining to the Receivable Assets. Seller will not maintain joint bank
accounts or other depository accounts to which any Tenneco Automotive Entity (other than solely in
their capacity as Servicer or, as applicable, a permitted designee of Servicer) has independent
access;

                    (H) Seller will strictly observe, and will require each of the Tenneco Automotive Entities to
strictly observe, corporate formalities, including with respect to its dealings with each other,
and will do all things reasonably necessary to ensure that no transfer of assets between any
Originator, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, is made without adherence to corporate
formalities;

21

 

                    (I) All distributions made by Seller to Tenneco Operating as its sole shareholder shall be
made in accordance with applicable law; and

                    (J) Seller will not enter into any transaction with any of the Tenneco Automotive Entities,
even if permitted (although not expressly provided for in) the Transaction Documents, unless such
transaction is fair and equitable to Seller, on the one hand, and such Tenneco Automotive Entity on
the other hand, and is of the type of transaction that would be entered into by a prudent Person in
the position of Seller vis à vis such Tenneco Automotive Entity and that is on terms that are at
least favorable as may be obtained from a Person who is not Tenneco Automotive Entity.

          (j) Collections. Such Seller Party will cause (1) all proceeds from all Lock-Boxes to be
directly deposited by a Collection Bank into a Collection Account and (2) each Lock-Box and
Collection Account to be subject at all times to a Collection Account Agreement that is in full
force and effect. In the event any payments relating to Receivables are remitted directly to Seller
or any Affiliate of Seller, Seller will remit (or will cause all such payments to be remitted)
directly to a Collection Bank and deposited into a Collection Account within two (2) Business Days
following receipt thereof, and, at all times prior to such remittance, Seller will itself hold or,
if applicable, will cause such payments to be held in trust for the exclusive benefit of the Agents
and the Purchasers. Seller will maintain exclusive ownership, dominion and control (subject to the
terms of this Agreement) of each Lock-Box and Collection Account and shall not grant the right to
take dominion and control of any Lock-Box or Collection Account at a future time or upon the
occurrence of a future event to any Person, except to the Administrative Agent as contemplated by
this Agreement.

          (k) Taxes. Such Seller Party will file all tax returns and reports required by law to be filed
by it and will promptly pay all taxes and governmental charges at any time owing, except any such
taxes which are not yet delinquent or are
being diligently contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and, in each case, for
which adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP shall have been set aside on its books. Seller will
pay when due any taxes payable in connection with the Receivables, exclusive of taxes on or
measured by income or gross receipts of any Agent or any Purchaser.

          (l) Payment to the Applicable Originator. With respect to any Receivable purchased by Seller
from an Originator, such sale shall be effected under, and in strict compliance with the terms of,
the applicable Receivables Sale Agreement, including, without limitation, the terms relating to the
amount and timing of payments to be made to such Originator in respect of the purchase price for
such Receivable.

     Section 7.2 Negative Covenants of the Seller Parties. Until the date on which the Aggregate
Unpaids have been indefeasibly paid in full and this Agreement terminates in accordance with its
terms, each Seller Party hereby covenants, as to itself, that:

          (a) Name Change, Offices and Records. Such Seller Party will not (i) change its name, identity
or corporate structure (within the meaning of Article 9 of any applicable enactment of the UCC) or
at any time while the location of its chief executive office is relevant to perfection of any
interest in the Receivables, relocate its chief executive office or (ii) change

22

 

any office where Records are kept, unless it shall have: (A) given the Administrative Agent at
least forty-five (45) days’ prior written notice thereof and (B) delivered to the Administrative
Agent all financing statements, instruments and other documents requested by the Agent in
connection with such change or relocation.

          (b) Change in Payment Instructions to Obligors. Except as may be required by the
Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.2(b), such Seller Party will not add or terminate any
bank as a Collection Bank, or make any change in the instructions to Obligors regarding payments to
be made to any Lock-Box or Collection Account, unless the Administrative Agent shall have received,
at least ten (10) days before the proposed effective date therefor, (i) written notice of such
addition, termination or change and (ii) with respect to the addition of a Collection Bank or a
Collection Account or Lock-Box, an executed Collection Account Agreement with respect to the new
Collection Account or Lock-Box; provided, however, that the Servicer may make changes in
instructions to Obligors regarding payments if such new instructions require such Obligor to make
payments to another existing Collection Account.

          (c) Modifications to Contracts and Credit and Collection Policy. Such Seller Party will not,
without the Agents’ consent, make any change to the Credit and Collection Policy that could
reasonably be expected to adversely affect the collectibility of the Receivables or decrease the
credit quality of any newly created Receivables. Except as provided in Section 8.2(d), the Servicer
will not extend, amend or otherwise modify the terms of any Receivable or any Contract related
thereto other than in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy.

          (d) Sales, Liens. Seller will not sell, assign (by operation of law or otherwise) or otherwise
dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, or create or suffer to exist any Adverse Claim
upon (including, without limitation, the filing of any financing statement) or with respect to, any
Receivable, Related Security or Collections,
or upon or with respect to any Contract under which any Receivable arises, or any Lock-Box or
Collection Account, or assign any right to receive income with respect thereto (other than, in each
case, the creation of the interests therein in favor of the Agents and the Purchasers provided for
herein), and Seller will defend the right, title and interest of the Agents and the Purchasers in,
to and under any of the foregoing property, against all claims of third parties claiming through or
under Seller or any Originator. Seller will not create or suffer to exist any mortgage, pledge,
security interest, encumbrance, lien, charge or other similar arrangement on any of its inventory.

          (e) Net Receivables Balance. At no time prior to the Amortization Date shall Seller permit the
Net Receivables Balance to be less than an amount equal to the sum of (i) the Aggregate Capital
plus (ii) the Aggregate Reserves.

          (f) Termination Date Determination. Seller will not designate the
“Termination Date” (as such term is defined in any Receivables Sale Agreement), or send any written
notice to the Originators in respect thereof, without the prior written consent of the Agents,
except with respect to the occurrence of such Termination Date arising pursuant to Section 5.1(d)
of any Receivables Sale Agreement.

23

 

          (g) Restricted Junior Payments. From and after the occurrence of any Amortization Event,
Seller will not make any Restricted Junior Payment if, after giving effect thereto, Seller would
fail to maintain the Required Capital Amount.

ARTICLE VIII.

ADMINISTRATION AND COLLECTION

     Section 8.1 Designation of Servicer. The servicing, administration and collection of the
Receivables shall be conducted by such Person (the “Servicer”) so designated from time to time in
accordance with this Section 8.1. Tenneco Operating is hereby designated as, and hereby agrees to
perform the duties and obligations of, the Servicer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The
Co-Agents, acting together, may at any time when an Amortization Event has occurred and is
continuing designate as Servicer any Person to succeed Tenneco Operating or any successor Servicer.

     Section 8.2 Duties of Servicer.

          (a) The Servicer shall take or cause to be taken all such actions as may be necessary or
advisable to collect each 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) The Servicer will instruct Seller or Obligors to pay all Collections directly to a
Lock-Box or Collection Account. The Servicer shall effect a Collection Account Agreement
substantially in the form of Exhibit VI with each bank party to a Collection Account at any time.
In the case of any remittances received in any Lock-Box or Collection Account that shall have been
identified, to the satisfaction of the Servicer, to not constitute Collections or other proceeds of
the Receivables or the Related Security, the Servicer shall promptly remit such items to the Person
identified to it as being the owner of such remittances.

          (c) The Servicer shall administer the Collections in accordance with the procedures described
herein and in Article II. The Servicer shall set aside and hold in trust for the account of Seller
and the Purchasers their respective shares of the Collections in accordance with Article II. The
Servicer shall, upon the request of the Administrative Agent after the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Amortization Event, segregate, in a manner acceptable to the Administrative
Agent, all cash, checks and other instruments received by it from time to time constituting
Collections from the general funds of the Servicer or Seller prior to the remittance thereof in
accordance with Article II. If the Servicer shall be required to segregate Collections pursuant to
the preceding sentence, the Servicer shall segregate and deposit with a bank designated by the
Administrative Agent such allocable share of Collections of Receivables set aside for the
Purchasers as soon as possible, but no later than two (2) Business Days following receipt by the
Servicer of such Collections, duly endorsed or with duly executed instruments of transfer.

          (d) The Servicer may, in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy, extend the maturity
of any Receivable or adjust the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable as

24

 

the Servicer determines to be appropriate to maximize Collections thereof; provided, however, that
such extension or adjustment shall not alter the status of such Receivable as a Delinquent
Receivable or Charged-Off Receivable or limit the rights of the Agents or the Purchasers under this
Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein at any time that an
Amortization Event has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent shall have the absolute
and unlimited right to direct the Servicer to commence or settle any legal action with respect to
any Receivable or to foreclose upon or repossess any Related Security.

          (e) The Servicer shall hold in trust for Seller and the Purchasers all Records that (i)
evidence or relate to the Receivables, the related Contracts and Related Security or (ii) are
otherwise necessary or desirable to collect the Receivables and shall, as soon as practicable upon
demand of the Administrative Agent, deliver or make available to the Administrative Agent all such
Records, at a place selected by the Administrative Agent. The Servicer shall, as soon as
practicable following receipt thereof turn over to Seller any cash collections or other cash
proceeds received with respect to Indebtedness not constituting Receivables. The Servicer shall,
from time to time at the request of any Purchaser, furnish to the Purchasers (promptly after any
such request) a calculation of the amounts set aside for the Purchasers pursuant to Article II.

          (f) Any payment by an Obligor in respect of any indebtedness owed by it to any Originator or
Seller shall, except as otherwise specified by such Obligor or otherwise required by contract or
law and unless otherwise instructed by the Administrative Agent, be applied as a Collection of any
Receivable of such Obligor (starting with the oldest such Receivable) to the extent of any amounts
then due and payable thereunder before being applied to any other receivable or other obligation of
such Obligor.

     Section 8.3 Collection Notices. The Administrative Agent is authorized at any time to date and
to deliver to the Collection Banks the Collection Notices. Seller hereby transfers to the
Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers, effective when the Administrative Agent
delivers such notice, the exclusive ownership and control of each Lock-Box and the Collection
Accounts. In case any authorized signatory of Seller whose signature appears on a Collection
Account Agreement shall cease to have such authority before the delivery of such notice, such
Collection Notice shall nevertheless be valid as if such authority had remained in force. Seller
hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent, and agrees that the Administrative Agent shall be
entitled after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Amortization Event to (i) endorse
Seller’s and the applicable Originator’s name on checks and other instruments representing
Collections, (ii) enforce the Receivables, the related Contracts and the Related Security and (iii)
take such action as shall be necessary or desirable to cause all cash, checks and other instruments
constituting Collections of Receivables to come into the possession of the Administrative Agent
rather than Seller. If an Originator identifies, to the satisfaction of the Administrative Agent,
any remittances received in any Lock-Box or Collection Account as not constituting Collections or
other proceeds of the Receivables and Related Security, the Administrative Agent shall promptly
remit (or instruct the applicable Collection Bank to remit) such remittances to such Originator.

25

 

     Section 8.4 Responsibilities of Seller. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the
exercise by the Agents and the Purchasers of their rights hereunder shall not release the Servicer,
any Originator or Seller from any of their duties or obligations with respect to any Receivables or
under the related Contracts. The Purchasers shall have no obligation or liability with respect to
any Receivables or related Contracts, nor shall any of them be obligated to perform the obligations
of Seller.

     Section 8.5 Portfolio Reports. The Servicer shall prepare and forward to the Agents (i) on or
before each Monthly Reporting Date, a Monthly Report for the month then most recently ended, (ii)
during each Level Two Ratings Period, on Monday of each week with respect to and as of the end of
the immediately preceding calendar week, a Weekly Report, (iii) during each Level Three Ratings
Period, on each Daily Reporting Date with respect to and as of the preceding Business Day, a Daily
Report and (iv) at such times as any Agent shall request, a listing by Obligor of all Receivables
together with an aging of such Receivables. For purposes of this Section 8.5, if at any time,
Tenneco Automotive’s long-term debt ratings fall within different categories and as a result
thereof more than one Ratings Period then applies, the Ratings Period corresponding to the lower
long-term debt rating shall control.

     Section 8.6 Servicing Fees. In consideration of Tenneco Operating’s agreement to act as
Servicer hereunder, the Purchasers hereby agree that, so long as Tenneco Operating shall continue
to perform as Servicer hereunder, Seller shall pay over to Tenneco Operating a fee (the “Servicing
Fee”) on the first calendar day of each month, in arrears for the immediately preceding month,
equal to 1.00% per annum of the aggregate Outstanding Balance of the Receivables on the last day of
such preceding month as compensation for its servicing activities.

ARTICLE IX.

AMORTIZATION EVENTS

Buyer or any of its assigns.

          (b) Any representation, warranty, certification or statement made by any Seller Party in this

Indebtedness or contained in any instrument or agreement evidencing, securing or relating thereto,

discharged, stayed or bonded pending appeal within 30 days from the entry thereof.

          (k) The “Purchase Termination Date” under and as defined in any
 Receivables Sale Agreement shall occur or any Originator shall for any reason cease to transfer, or

          (l) This Agreement shall terminate in whole or in part (except in accordance with its terms),
or shall cease to be effective or to be the legally valid, binding and enforceable obligation of

all damages, losses, claims, taxes, liabilities, costs, expenses and for all other amounts payable,
including reasonable attorneys’ fees (which attorneys may be employees of such Agent or such
Purchaser) 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 as a result of this
Agreement or the acquisition, either directly or indirectly, by a Purchaser of an interest in the
Receivables, and (B) the Servicer hereby agrees to indemnify (and pay upon demand to) each
Indemnified Party for Indemnified Amounts awarded against or incurred by any of them arising out of
the Servicer’s activities as Servicer hereunder, excluding, however, in all of the foregoing
instances under the preceding clauses (A) and (B):

     (a) Indemnified Amounts to the extent a final judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction holds that such Indemnified Amounts resulted from gross negligence or
willful misconduct on the part of the Indemnified Party seeking indemnification;

     (b) Indemnified Amounts to the extent the same includes losses in respect of
Receivables that are uncollectible on account of the insolvency, bankruptcy or lack of
creditworthiness of the related Obligor; or

     (c) taxes imposed by the jurisdiction in which such Indemnified Party’s principal
executive office is located, on or measured by the overall net income of such Indemnified
Party to the extent that the computation of such taxes is consistent with the

out of or in connection with merchandise, insurance or services that are the subject of any
Contract or any Receivable;

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

               (vi) the commingling of Collections of Receivables at any time with other funds;

any Indemnified Party becomes involved as a result of any of the transactions contemplated hereby;

30

 

               (viii) any inability to litigate any claim against any Obligor in respect of any Receivable as
a result of such Obligor being immune from civil and commercial law and suit on the grounds of
sovereignty or otherwise from any legal action, suit or proceeding;

               (ix) any Amortization Event described in Section 9.1(d);

               (x) any failure of Seller to acquire and maintain legal and equitable title to, and ownership
of any Receivable and the Related Security and Collections with respect thereto from the applicable
Originator, free and clear of any Adverse Claim (other than as created hereunder); or any failure
of Seller to give reasonably equivalent value to such Originator under the applicable Receivables
Sale Agreement in consideration of the transfer by such Originator of any Receivable, or any
attempt by any Person to void such transfer under statutory provisions or common law or equitable
action;

               (xi) any failure to vest and maintain vested in the Administrative Agent for the benefit of
the Purchasers, or to transfer to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers, legal
and equitable title to, and ownership of, a first priority perfected undivided percentage ownership
interest (to the extent of the Purchaser Interests contemplated hereunder) or security interest in
the Receivables, the Related Security and the Collections, free and clear of any Adverse Claim

subsequent time;

               (xiii) any action or omission by any Seller Party which reduces or impairs the rights of the
Agents or the Purchasers with respect to any Receivable or the value of any such Receivable;

               (xiv) any attempt by any Person to void any Incremental Purchase or Reinvestment hereunder
under statutory provisions or common law or equitable action; and

               (xv) the failure of any Receivable included in the calculation of the Net Receivables Balance
as an Eligible Receivable to be an Eligible Receivable at the time so included.

     Section 10.2 Increased Cost and Reduced Return. If after the date hereof, any Funding Source
shall be charged any fee, expense or increased cost on account of the adoption of any applicable
law, rule or regulation (including any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital
adequacy) or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by
any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or
administration thereof, or compliance with any request or directive (whether or not having the
force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency (a “Regulatory Change”): (i)
that subjects any Funding Source to any charge or withholding on or with respect to any Liquidity
Agreement or a Funding Source’s obligations under a Liquidity Agreement, or on or with respect to
the Receivables, or changes the basis of taxation of

31

 

payments to any Funding Source of any amounts payable under any Liquidity Agreement (except for
changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of a Funding Source or taxes excluded by
Section 10.1) or (ii) that imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve, assessment, insurance
charge, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account
of a Funding Source, or credit extended by a Funding Source pursuant to a Liquidity Agreement or
(iii) that imposes any other condition the result of which is to increase the cost to a Funding
Source of performing its obligations under a Liquidity Agreement, or to reduce the rate of return
on a Funding Source’s capital as a consequence of its obligations under a Liquidity Agreement, or
to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by a Funding Source under a Liquidity
Agreement or to require any payment calculated by reference to the amount of interests or loans
held or interest received by it (all of the foregoing, “Increased Costs”), then, upon demand by the
applicable Co-Agent, Seller shall pay to such Co-Agent, for the benefit of the relevant Funding
Source, such Increased Costs charged to such Funding Source or such amounts to otherwise compensate
such Funding Source for such Increased Costs. To the extent that any Liquidity Agreement described
in this Section covers facilities in addition to this Agreement, each Conduit shall allocate the
liability for any applicable Increased Costs among Seller and other Persons with whom such Conduit
has entered into agreements to purchase interests in or finance receivables and other financial
assets (“Other Customers”). If any Increased Costs are attributable to Seller and not attributable
to any Other Customer, Seller shall be solely liable for such Increased Costs. However, if
Increased Costs are attributable to Other Customers and not attributable to Seller, such Other
Customer shall be solely liable for such Increased Costs. All allocations to be made pursuant to
the foregoing provisions of this Section shall be made by Conduit in its sole discretion and shall
be binding on Seller and the Servicer.

     Section 10.3 Other Costs and Expenses. Subject to any limitation on the Liberty Street Group’s
reimburseable costs separately agreed to by the Liberty Street Agent and the Seller Parties, Seller
shall pay to each of the Agents on demand all reasonable costs and out-of-pocket expenses in
connection with the preparation, execution, amendment, delivery and administration of this
Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby and the other documents to be delivered hereunder,
including without limitation, the cost of the applicable Conduit’s auditors auditing the books,
records and procedures of Seller, reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of a legal counsel for
the Agents (which such counsel may be employees of a Purchaser or an Agent) with respect thereto
and with respect to advising such Agent as to its Group’s respective rights and remedies under this
Agreement. Seller shall pay to the Administrative Agent on demand any and all reasonable costs and
expenses of the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers, if any, including reasonable counsel fees
and expenses of a common legal counsel, or if such common legal counsel determines that it cannot
continue representation due to a business or ethical conflict, separate legal counsel for the
Agents, in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement and the other documents delivered
hereunder and in connection with any restructuring or workout of this Agreement or such documents,
or the administration of this Agreement following an Amortization Event.

Seller or the Servicer under the other provisions of this Agreement. This Article XI is intended
solely to govern the relationship between the Agents, on the one hand, and the Purchasers, on the
other.

          (c) In performing its functions and duties hereunder, (i) the Liberty Street Agent shall act

connection with, this Agreement or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness,
enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other document furnished in connection
herewith, or for any failure of either the Seller or the Servicer to perform its respective
obligations hereunder, or for the satisfaction of any condition specified in Article VI, except

appropriate under the relevant circumstances, or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction
by the Committed Purchasers in its Group against any and all liability, cost and expense which may
be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

          (b) Any action taken by any of the Agents in accordance with Section 11.4(a) shall be binding
upon all of the Agents and the Purchasers.

     Section 11.5 Notice of Seller Defaults. None of the Agents shall be deemed to have knowledge

Amortization Event unless such Agent has received notice from another Agent, a Purchaser, the
Seller or the

34

 

Servicer referring to this Agreement, stating that a Amortization Event or Potential Amortization
Event has occurred hereunder and describing such Amortization Event or Potential Amortization
Event. In the event that any of the Agents receives such a notice, it shall promptly give notice
thereof to the Purchasers and the other Agents. The Administrative Agent may exercise any rights
and remedies provided to the Administrative Agent under the Transaction Documents or at law or
equity (and at the written request of the Co-Agents acting together, shall exercise any such rights
and remedies and take such action as the Co-Agents shall direct) with respect to such Amortization
Event or Potential Amortization Event, provided that the Administrative Agent is indemnified to its
satisfaction by the Co-Agents and the Committed Purchasers against any and all liability, cost and
expense which may be incurred by it by reason of such exercise of rights and remedies and/or taking
any such action.

     Section 11.6 Non-Reliance on Other Agents and Purchasers. Each of the Purchasers expressly
acknowledges that none of the Agents, nor any of the Agents’ respective officers, directors,
employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it
and that no act by any of the Agents hereafter taken, including, without limitation, any review of
the affairs of the Seller, the Servicer or the Originators, shall be deemed to constitute any
representation or warranty by such Agent. Each of the Purchasers also represents and warrants to
the Agents and the other Purchasers that it has, independently and without reliance upon any such
Person (or any of their Affiliates) and based on such documents and information as it has deemed
appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property,
prospects, financial and other conditions and creditworthiness of the Seller, the Servicer and the
Originators and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement. Each of the Purchasers also
represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agents or any other Purchaser,
and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to
make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this
Agreement, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the
business, operations, property, prospects, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of
the Seller, the Servicer and the Originators. The Agents, the Purchasers and their respective
Affiliates, shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any party to this Agreement with any
credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, prospects, financial and
other condition or creditworthiness of the Seller, the Servicer and the Originators which may come
into the possession of such Person or any of its respective officers, directors, employees, agents,
attorneys-in-fact or affiliates, except that each of the Agents shall promptly distribute to the
other Agents and the Purchasers, copies of financial and other information expressly provided to it
by either of the Seller or the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement.

     Section 11.7 Indemnification of Agents. Each of the Committed Purchasers hereby agrees to
indemnify (a) its applicable Co-Agent, (b) the Administrative Agent, and (c) the officers,
directors, employees, representatives and agents of each of the
foregoing (to the extent not reimbursed by the Seller or the Servicer and without limiting the
obligation of the Seller or the Servicer to do so), ratably in accordance with their respective
Commitments, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever
(including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for such Co-Agent,
the Administrative Agent or such Person in connection with any investigative, administrative or
judicial proceeding

35

 

commenced or threatened, whether or not such Co-Agent or the Administrative Agent or such Person
shall be designated a party thereto) that may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted
against such Co-Agent, the Administrative Agent or such Person as a result of, or arising out of,
or in any way related to or by reason of, any of the transactions contemplated hereunder or the
execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement or any other document furnished in connection
herewith (but excluding any such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting solely from the bad faith, gross
negligence or willful misconduct of such Co-Agent, the Administrative Agent or such Person as
finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction).

     Section 11.8 Agents in their Individual Capacities. Each of the Agents in its individual
capacity and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any
kind of business with the Seller, the Servicer, the Originators and their Affiliates as though such
Agent were not an Agent hereunder. With respect to its Purchaser Interests, if any, pursuant to
this Agreement, each of the Agents shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as
any Purchaser and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Committed
Purchaser,” “Committed Purchasers,” “Purchaser” and “Purchasers” shall include each of the Agents
in their individual capacities.

     Section 11.9 UCC Filings. Each of the Co-Agents and the Purchasers hereby expressly recognizes
and agrees that the Administrative Agent may be listed as the assignee or secured party of record
on the various UCC filings required to be made under the Transaction Documents in order to perfect
their respective interests in the Receivables, the Collections, each Collection Account and all
Related Security, that such listing shall be for administrative convenience only in creating a
record or nominee holder to take certain actions hereunder on behalf of the Groups and that such
listing will not affect in any way the status of the Purchasers as the true parties in interest
with respect to the collateral covered thereby. In addition, such listing shall impose no duties on
the Administrative Agent other than those expressly and specifically undertaken in accordance with
this Article XI.

     Section 11.10 Successor Agents. If any Agent or its holding company is merged with or into any
other Person, such Agent may, upon five days’ notice to the Seller and the other Agents, assign its
rights and obligations hereunder to the survivor of such merger or any of its bank Affiliates, in
each case, provided that both Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. have approved
the proposed assignee as the successor administrator of such Agent’s Conduit. After the
effectiveness of any assigning Agent’s assignment hereunder, the assigning Agent shall be
discharged from its duties
and obligations hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents and the provisions of this
Article XI and Article X shall continue in effect for its benefit with respect to any actions taken
or omitted to be taken by it while it was an Agent under this Agreement and under the other
Transaction Documents.

ARTICLE XII.

ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATIONS

     Section 12.1 Assignments.

          (a) Each of the parties hereby agrees and consents to the complete or partial assignment by
each Conduit of all or any portion of its rights under, interest in, title to and obligations under
this Agreement to (i) its Committed Purchasers pursuant to its
Liquidity Agreement, and
(ii) another special purpose asset-backed commercial paper issuer administered by a Co-Agent or one of
its Affiliates having a short-term debt rating of A-1 or better by Standard & Poor’s and P-1 by
Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. Upon each such assignment pursuant to this Section 12.1(a), such
Conduit shall be released from its obligations so assigned. Further, each of the other parties
hereby agrees that any assignee of a Conduit of this Agreement or all or any of its Purchaser
Interests shall have all of the rights and benefits under this Agreement as if references to such
Conduit or to a “Purchaser” explicitly referred to such assignee, and no such assignment shall in
any way impair the rights and benefits of such Conduit hereunder. Neither of the Seller Parties nor
(except as set forth in Section 11.10) any Agent shall have the right to assign its rights or
obligations under this Agreement.

          (b) Any Committed Purchaser may at any time and from time to time assign to one or more
Persons (“Purchasing Committed Purchasers”) all or any part of its rights and obligations under
this Agreement pursuant to an assignment agreement, in a form and substance satisfactory to the
applicable Co-Agent (the “Assignment Agreement”), executed by such Purchasing Committed Purchaser
and such selling Committed Purchaser. The consent of (i) the applicable Conduit and (ii) provided
no Servicer Default or Potential Servicer Default exists and is continuing, the Seller (which
consent of the Seller shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed but may be conditioned upon a
change in the voting rights of the Co-Agents under this Agreement), shall be required prior to the
effectiveness of any such assignment. Each assignee of a Committed Purchaser must have a short-term
debt rating of A-1 or better by Standard & Poor’s and P-1 by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. and
must agree to deliver to the applicable Co-Agent, promptly following any request therefor by such
Co-Agent or its Conduit, an enforceability opinion in form and substance satisfactory to such
Co-Agent and Conduit. Upon delivery of the executed Assignment Agreement to the applicable
Co-Agent, such selling Committed Purchaser shall be released from its obligations hereunder to the
extent of such assignment. Thereafter the Purchasing Committed Purchaser shall for all purposes be
a Committed Purchaser party to this Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a
Committed Purchaser under this Agreement to the same extent as if it were an original party hereto
and no further consent or action by the Seller, the Purchasers or the Agents shall be required.

          (c) Each of the Committed Purchasers agrees that in the event that it shall cease to have a
short-term debt rating of A-1 or better by Standard & Poor’s and P-1 by
Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (an “Affected Committed Purchaser”), such Affected Committed
Purchaser shall be obliged, at the request of the applicable Conduit or its Co-Agent, to assign all
of its rights and obligations hereunder to (x) another Committed Purchaser or (y) another funding
entity nominated by the Agent and acceptable to Seller (which approval shall not be

37

 

unreasonably withheld or delayed) and to Conduit, and willing to participate in this Agreement
through the Liquidity Termination Date in the place of such Affected Committed Purchaser; provided
that the Affected Committed Purchaser receives payment in full, pursuant to an Assignment
Agreement, of an amount equal to such Committed Purchaser’s Pro Rata Share of its Group’s
Percentage of the Aggregate Capital and Yield owing to the Committed Purchasers and all accrued but
unpaid fees and other costs and expenses payable in respect of such Pro Rata Share.

     Section 12.2 Participations. Any Committed Purchaser may, in the ordinary course of its
business at any time sell to one or more Persons (each a “Participant”) participating interests in
its Pro Rata Share of the Purchaser Interests of the Committed Purchasers in its Group or any other
interest of such Committed Purchaser hereunder. Notwithstanding any such sale by a Committed
Purchaser of a participating interest to a Participant, such Committed Purchaser’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Committed Purchaser shall remain
solely responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and Seller, the Purchasers and
the Agents shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Committed Purchaser in connection
with such Committed Purchaser’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Each Committed
Purchaser agrees that any agreement between such Committed Purchaser and any such Participant in
respect of such participating interest shall not restrict such Committed Purchaser’s right to agree
to any amendment, supplement, waiver or modification to this Agreement, except for any amendment,
supplement, waiver or modification described in Section 14.1(b)(i).

ARTICLE XIII.

TERMINATING COMMITTED PURCHASERS

     Section 13.1 Terminating Committed Purchasers.

          (a) (i) Each Committed Purchaser hereby agrees to deliver written notice to the applicable
Co-Agent and the Administrative Agent not more than thirty (30) Business Days and not less than
five (5) Business Days prior to the Liquidity Termination Date indicating whether such Committed
Purchaser intends to renew its Commitment hereunder. If any Committed Purchaser fails to deliver
such notice on or prior to the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Liquidity
Termination Date, such Committed Purchaser will be deemed to have declined to renew its Commitment
(each Committed Purchaser which has declined or has been deemed to have declined to renew its
Commitment hereunder, a “Non-Renewing Committed Purchaser”). The applicable Co-Agent shall promptly
notify its Conduit of each Non-Renewing Committed Purchaser and such Conduit, in its sole
discretion, may upon one (1) Business Day’s notice to such Non-Renewing Committed Purchaser assign
to such Non-Renewing Committed Purchaser on a date specified by such Conduit its Pro Rata Share of
the aggregate Purchaser Interests
then held by such Conduit, subject to, and in accordance with, the applicable Liquidity
Agreement.

               (ii) In addition, unless an acceptable assignee can be found in accordance with Section
12.1(c), each Conduit may, in its sole discretion, at any time (x) to the extent of Commitment
Availability, declare that any Affected Committed Purchaser’s Commitment shall

38

 

automatically terminate on a date specified by such Conduit or (y) assign to any Affected Committed
Purchaser on a date specified by such Conduit its Pro Rata Share of the aggregate Purchaser
Interests then held by such Conduit, subject to, and in accordance with, the applicable Liquidity
Agreement (each Affected Committed Purchaser or each Non-Renewing Committed Purchaser is
hereinafter referred to as a “Terminating Committed Purchaser”). The parties hereto expressly
acknowledge that any declaration of the termination of any Commitment, any assignment pursuant to
this Section 13.1 and the order of priority of any such termination or assignment among Terminating
Committed Purchasers shall be made by the applicable Conduit in its sole and absolute discretion.

          (b) Upon any assignment to a Terminating Committed Purchaser as provided in this Section 13.1,
any remaining Commitment of such Terminating Committed Purchaser shall automatically terminate.
Upon reduction to zero of the Capital of all interests in the Purchaser Interests of a Terminating
Committed Purchaser (after application of Collections thereto pursuant to Sections 2.2 and 2.3) all
rights and obligations of such Terminating Committed Purchaser hereunder shall be terminated and
such Terminating Committed Purchaser shall no longer be a “Committed Purchaser” hereunder;
provided, however, that the provisions of Article X shall continue in effect for its benefit with
respect to Purchaser Interests held by such Terminating Committed Purchaser prior to its
termination as a Committed Purchaser.

ARTICLE XIV.

MISCELLANEOUS

     Section 14.1 Waivers and Amendments.

          (a) No failure or delay on the part of any Agent or any Purchaser in exercising any power,
right or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any such power, right or remedy preclude any other further exercise thereof or
the exercise of any other power, right or remedy. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be
cumulative and nonexclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law. Any waiver of this Agreement
shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

          (b) No provision of this Agreement may be amended, supplemented, modified or waived except in
writing in accordance with the provisions of this Section 14.1(b). Seller and the Agents may enter
into written modifications or waivers of any provisions of this Agreement, provided, however, that
no such modification or waiver shall:

               (i) without the consent of each affected Purchaser, (A) extend the applicable Liquidity
Termination Date or the date of any payment or deposit of Collections by Seller or the Servicer,
(B) reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of
Yield or any CP Costs (or any component of Yield or CP Costs), (C) reduce any fee payable to
as Co-Agent for the benefit of any Purchaser, (D) except pursuant to Article XII hereof, change the
amount of the Capital of any Purchaser, any Committed Purchaser’s Pro Rata Share or any Committed
Purchaser’s Commitment, (E) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section 14.1(b), (F)
consent to or permit the assignment or transfer by Seller of any of its rights and obligations
under

39

 

this Agreement, (G) change the definition of “Eligible Receivable” or “Loss Reserve,” or (H) amend
or modify any defined term (or any defined term used directly or indirectly in such defined term)
used in clauses (A) through (G) above in a manner that would circumvent the intention of the
restrictions set forth in such clauses; or

               (ii) without the written consent of the then applicable Agent, amend, modify or waive any
provision of this Agreement if the effect thereof is to affect the rights or duties of such Agent.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) without the consent of the Committed Purchasers, but with the
consent of Seller prior to the occurrence of an Amortization Event (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed but may be conditioned upon a change in the voting rights of the
Co-Agents under this Agreement), the Agents may amend this Agreement solely to add additional
Persons as Committed Purchasers hereunder and (ii) the Agents and the Purchasers may enter into
amendments to modify any of the terms or provisions of Article XI, Article XII, Section 14.13 or
any other provision of this Agreement without the consent of Seller, provided that such amendment
has no negative impact upon Seller. Any modification or waiver made in accordance with this Section
14.1 shall apply to each of the Purchasers equally and shall be binding upon Seller, the Purchasers
and the Agents.

     Section 14.2 Notices. Except as provided in this Section 14.2, all communications and notices
provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including bank wire, telecopy or electronic facsimile
transmission or similar writing) and shall be given to the other parties hereto at their respective
addresses or telecopy numbers set forth on the signature pages hereof or at such other address or
telecopy number as such Person may hereafter specify for the purpose of notice to each of the other
parties hereto. Each such notice or other communication shall be effective (i) if given by
telecopy, upon the receipt thereof, (ii) if given by mail, three (3) Business Days after the time
such communication is deposited in the mail with first class postage prepaid or (iii) if given by
any other means, when received at the address specified in this Section 14.2. Seller hereby
authorizes each of the Co-Agents to effect purchases and Tranche Period and Discount Rate
selections based on telephonic notices made by any Person whom such Co-Agent in good faith believes
to be acting on behalf of Seller. Seller agrees to deliver promptly to each Co-Agent a written
confirmation of each telephonic notice signed by an authorized officer of Seller; provided,
however, the absence of such confirmation shall not affect the validity of such notice. If the
written confirmation differs from the action taken by such Co-Agent, the records of such Co-Agent
shall govern absent manifest error.

40

 

     Section 14.3 Ratable Payments. If any Purchaser, whether by setoff or otherwise, has payment
made to it with respect to any portion of the Aggregate Unpaids owing to such Purchaser (other than
payments received pursuant to Section 10.2 or 10.3) in a greater proportion than that received by
any other Purchaser entitled to receive a ratable share of such Aggregate Unpaids, such Purchaser
agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase for cash without recourse or warranty a portion of such
Aggregate Unpaids held by the other Purchasers so that after such purchase each Purchaser will hold
its ratable proportion of such Aggregate Unpaids; provided that if all or any portion of such
excess amount is thereafter recovered from such Purchaser, such purchase shall be rescinded and the
purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

     Section 14.4 Protection of Ownership Interests of the Purchasers.

          (a) Seller agrees that from time to time, at its expense, it will promptly execute and deliver
all instruments and documents, and take all actions, that may be necessary or desirable, or that
any Agent may request, to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the Purchaser Interests, or to
enable the Agents or the Purchasers to exercise and enforce their rights and remedies hereunder. At
any time when an Amortization Event has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent may,
or the Administrative Agent may direct Seller or the Servicer to, notify the Obligors of
Receivables, at Seller’s expense, of the ownership or security interests of the Purchasers under
this Agreement and may also direct that payments of all amounts due or that become due under any or
all Receivables be made directly to the Administrative Agent or its designee. Seller or the
Servicer (as applicable) shall, at any Purchaser’s request, withhold the identity of such Purchaser
in any such notification.

          (b) If any Seller Party fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder, any Agent or any
Purchaser may (but shall not be required to) perform, or cause performance of, such obligations,
and such Agent’s or such Purchaser’s costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith shall be
payable by Seller as provided in Section 10.3. Each Seller Party irrevocably authorizes the
Administrative Agent at any time and from time to time in the sole discretion of the Administrative
Agent, and appoints the Administrative Agent as its attorney-in-fact, to act on behalf of such
Seller Party (i) to execute on behalf of Seller as debtor (if required) and to file financing
statements necessary or desirable in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion to perfect and to
maintain the perfection and priority of the interest of the Purchasers in the Receivables and (ii)
to file a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement
with respect to the Receivables as a financing statement in such offices as the Administrative
Agent in its sole discretion deems necessary or desirable to perfect and to maintain the perfection
and priority of the interests of the Purchasers in the Receivables. This appointment is coupled
with an interest and is irrevocable. Each of the Seller Parties hereby (A) authorizes the
Administrative Agent to file financing statements and other filing or recording documents with
respect to the Receivables and Related Security (including any amendments thereto, or continuation
or termination statements thereof), without the signature or other authorization of such Seller
Party, in such form and in such offices as the Administrative Agent reasonably determines
appropriate to perfect or maintain the perfection of the security interest of the Agent hereunder,
(B) acknowledges and agrees that it is not authorized to, and will not, file financing statements
or other filing or recording documents with respect to the Receivables or Related Security
(including any amendments thereto, or continuation or termination statements

41

 

thereof), without the express prior written approval by the Agent, consenting to the form and
substance of such filing or recording document, and (C) approves, authorizes and ratifies any
filings or recordings made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent in connection with the
perfection of the security interest in favor of Seller or the Administrative Agent.

     Section 14.5 Confidentiality.

          (a) Each Seller Party and each Purchaser shall maintain and shall cause each of its employees
and officers to maintain the confidentiality of this Agreement and the other confidential or
proprietary information with respect to the Agents and Conduits and their respective businesses
obtained by it or them in connection with the structuring, negotiating and execution of the
transactions contemplated herein, except that such Seller Party and such Purchaser and its officers
and employees may disclose such information to such Seller Party’s and such Purchaser’s external
accountants and attorneys and as required by any applicable law or order of any judicial or
administrative proceeding.

          (b) Each of the Agents and Purchasers agrees to keep confidential all non-public information
provided to it by either Seller Party pursuant to this Agreement that is designated by such Seller
Party as confidential.

          (c) Each of the Seller Parties, the Agents and the Purchasers hereby consents to the
disclosure of any nonpublic information with respect to it (i) to Performance Guarantor, the Agents
and the Purchasers, (ii) by a Seller Party, the Agents or the Purchasers to any prospective or
actual assignee or participant of any of them; provided that such assignee or participant agrees to
be bound by the terms of this Section 14.5 and (iii) by the Agents or Conduits, to any rating
agency, Commercial Paper dealer or provider of a surety, guaranty or credit or liquidity
enhancement to a Conduit or any entity organized for the purpose of purchasing, or making loans
secured by, financial assets for which either of the Co-Agents or one of its Affiliates acts as the
administrative agent and to any officers, directors, employees, outside accountants and attorneys
of any of the foregoing, provided that each such Person is informed of the confidential nature of
such information. In addition, the Purchasers and the Agents may disclose any such nonpublic
information pursuant to any law, rule, regulation, direction, request or order of any judicial,
administrative or regulatory authority or proceedings (whether or not having the force or effect of
law).

     Section 14.6 Bankruptcy Petition. Each of the Seller Parties, the Agents and the Purchasers
hereby covenants and agrees that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment
in full of all outstanding senior indebtedness of each Conduit, it will not institute against, or
join any other Person in instituting against, such Conduit any bankruptcy, reorganization,
arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or other similar proceeding under the laws of
the United States or any state of the United States.

     Section 14.7 Limitation of Liability. Except with respect to any claim arising out of the
willful misconduct or gross negligence of any Agent or Purchaser, no claim may be made by any
Seller Party or any other Person against any Agent or Purchaser or their respective Affiliates,
directors, officers, employees, attorneys or agents for any special, indirect, consequential or
punitive damages in respect of any claim for breach of contract or any other theory of liability

42

 

arising out of or related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or any act, omission
or event occurring in connection therewith; and each Seller Party hereby waives, releases, and
agrees not to sue upon any claim for any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not
known or suspected to exist in its favor. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary, no Conduit shall have any obligation to pay any amount required to be paid by it
hereunder in excess of any amount available to it after paying or making provision for the payment
in full of its Commercial Paper. All payment obligations of each Conduit hereunder are contingent
on the availability of funds in excess of the amounts necessary to pay in full its Commercial
Paper; and each of the other parties hereto agrees that it will not have a claim under Section
101(5) of the Bankruptcy Code if and to the extent that any such payment obligation owed to it by
such Conduit exceeds the amount available to such Conduit to pay such amount after paying or making
provision for the payment in full of its Commercial Paper. The provisions of this Section 14.7 will
survive termination of this Agreement and payment in full of each Conduit’s Commercial Paper.

     Section 14.8 CHOICE OF LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
THE INTERNAL LAWS (AND NOT THE LAW OF CONFLICTS) OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS.

     Section 14.9 CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. EACH SELLER PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE
NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY UNITED STATES FEDERAL OR ILLINOIS STATE COURT SITTING IN CHICAGO,
ILLINOIS IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS
AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENT EXECUTED BY SUCH PERSON PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH SELLER PARTY
HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND
DETERMINED IN ANY SUCH COURT AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE AS
TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT OR THAT SUCH COURT IS
AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT OF ANY AGENT OR PURCHASER TO BRING
PROCEEDINGS AGAINST ANY SELLER PARTY IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. ANY JUDICIAL
PROCEEDING BY ANY SELLER PARTY AGAINST ANY AGENT OR PURCHASER OR ANY AFFILIATE OF ANY AGENT OR ANY
PURCHASER INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR
CONNECTED WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENT EXECUTED BY SUCH SELLER PARTY PURSUANT TO THIS
AGREEMENT SHALL BE BROUGHT ONLY IN A COURT IN CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.

     Section 14.10 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY
JUDICIAL PROCEEDING INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER (WHETHER SOUNDING IN TORT,
CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH THIS AGREEMENT, ANY
DOCUMENT EXECUTED BY ANY SELLER PARTY PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER.

43

 

     Section 14.11 Integration; Binding Effect; Survival of Terms.

          (a) This Agreement and each other Transaction Document contain the final and complete
integration of all prior expressions by the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter
hereof and shall constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the
subject matter hereof superseding all prior oral or written understandings.

          (b) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and
their respective successors and permitted assigns (including any trustee in bankruptcy). 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 terminated in accordance
with its terms; provided, however, that the rights and remedies with respect to (i) any breach of
any representation and warranty made by any Seller Party pursuant to Article V, (ii) the
indemnification and payment provisions of Article X, and Sections 14.5 and 14.6 shall be continuing
and shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

     Section 14.12 Counterparts; Severability; Section References. This Agreement may be executed
in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of
which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken together shall
constitute one and the same Agreement. Any provisions of this Agreement which are prohibited or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of
such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any
such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Unless otherwise expressly indicated, all
references herein to “Article,” “Section,” “Schedule” or “Exhibit” shall mean articles and sections
of, and schedules and exhibits to, this Agreement.

     Section 14.13 Co-Agent Roles.

     Section 14.14 Characterization.

          (a) It is the intention of the parties hereto that each purchase hereunder shall constitute
and be treated as an absolute and irrevocable sale, which purchase shall provide the applicable
Purchaser with the full benefits of ownership of an interest in the applicable Purchaser Interest.

          (b) In addition to any ownership interest which the Administrative Agent may from time to time

FORM OF PERFORMANCE UNDERTAKING

THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED PERFORMANCE UNDERTAKING

          THIS THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED PERFORMANCE UNDERTAKING (this “Undertaking”), dated as of May
4, 2005, is executed by Tenneco Automotive Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Performance
Guarantor”) in favor of Tenneco Automotive RSA Company, a Delaware corporation (together with its
successors and assigns, “Recipient”), and amends and restates in its entirety that certain Second
Amended and Restated Performance Undertaking dated as of January 31, 2003 by the Performance
Guarantor in favor of the Recipient.

RECITALS

	1.	 	Tenneco Automotive Operating Company, a Delaware corporation (“Tenneco Operating”), and
Recipient have entered into a Receivables Sale Agreement, dated as of October 31, 2000, and
The Pullman Company, a Delaware corporation (“Pullman”), and Recipient have entered into a
Receivables Sale Agreement, dated as of December 27, 2000 (each of the foregoing, as amended,
restated or otherwise modified from time to time, a “Sale Agreement” and collectively, the
“Sale Agreements”), pursuant to which Tenneco Operating or Pullman, as the case may be, is
selling and/or contributing its right, title and interest in its accounts receivable to
Recipient subject to the terms and conditions contained therein.

	2.	 	Performance Guarantor owns, directly or indirectly, one hundred percent (100%) of the capital
stock of Tenneco Operating, Pullman and Recipient, and each of Tenneco Operating and Pullman
(and, accordingly, Performance Guarantor) is expected to receive substantial direct and
indirect benefits from their sale or contribution of receivables to Recipient pursuant to the
Sale Agreements (which benefits are hereby acknowledged).

	3.	 	As an inducement for Recipient to acquire Pullman’s accounts receivable, and to continue to
acquire Tenneco Operating’s accounts receivable, pursuant to the Sale Agreements, Performance
Guarantor has agreed to guaranty the due and punctual performance by each of Tenneco Operating
and Pullman of its obligations under the applicable Sale Agreement, as well as Tenneco
Operating’s Servicing Related Obligations (as hereinafter defined).

	4.	 	Performance Guarantor wishes to guaranty the due and punctual performance by (a) Tenneco
Operating of its obligations to Recipient under or in respect of the Sale Agreement to which
Tenneco Operating is a party and its Servicing Related Obligations (as hereinafter defined),
as provided herein, and (b) Pullman of its obligations to Recipient under or in respect of the
Sale Agreement to which Pullman is a party.

AGREEMENT

          NOW, THEREFORE, Performance Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:

          Section 1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein shall have the
respective meanings assigned thereto in the Sale Agreements or the Purchase Agreement (as
hereinafter defined). In addition:

          “Guaranteed Obligations” means, collectively: (a) all covenants, agreements, terms, conditions
and indemnities to be performed and observed by Tenneco Operating or Pullman under and pursuant to
the Sale Agreement to which it is a party and each other document executed and delivered by Tenneco
Operating or Pullman pursuant to the Sale Agreement to which it is a party, including, without
limitation, the due and punctual payment of all sums which are or may become due and owing by
Tenneco Operating or Pullman under the Sale Agreement to which it is a party, whether for fees,
expenses (including counsel fees), indemnified amounts or otherwise, whether upon any termination
or for any other reason and (b) all obligations of Tenneco Operating (i) as Servicer under the
Third Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 4, 2005 by and among
Recipient, Tenneco Operating, as Servicer, Jupiter Securitization Corporation, Liberty Street
Funding Corp., the Committed Purchasers, the Bank of Nova Scotia, New York Agency, as Liberty
Street Agent and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Jupiter Agent and Administrative Agent (as amended,
restated or otherwise modified, the “Purchase Agreement” and, together with the Sale Agreement, the
“Agreements”) or (ii) which arise pursuant to Sections 8.2, 8.3 or 14.4(a) of the Purchase
Agreement as a result of its termination as Servicer (all such obligations under this clause (b),
collectively, the “Servicing Related Obligations”).

          Section 2. Guaranty of Performance of Guaranteed Obligations. Performance Guarantor hereby
guarantees to Recipient, the full and punctual payment and performance by each of Tenneco Operating
and Pullman of its Guaranteed Obligations. This Undertaking is an absolute, unconditional and
continuing guaranty of the full and punctual performance of all Guaranteed Obligations of each of
Tenneco Operating and Pullman under the Agreements to which it is a party and each other document
executed and delivered by Tenneco Operating or Pullman pursuant to such Agreements and is in no way
conditioned upon any requirement that Recipient first attempt to collect any amounts owing by
Tenneco Operating or Pullman to Recipient, the Agents or the Purchasers from any other Person or
resort to any collateral security, any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of
Recipient, any Agent or any Purchaser in favor of Tenneco Operating or Pullman or any other Person
or other means of obtaining payment. Should Tenneco Operating or Pullman default in the payment or
performance of any of its Guaranteed Obligations, Recipient (or its assigns) may cause the
immediate performance by Performance Guarantor of such Guaranteed Obligations and cause any payment
Guaranteed Obligations to become forthwith due and payable to Recipient (or its assigns), without
demand or notice of any nature (other than as expressly provided herein), all of which are hereby
expressly waived by Performance Guarantor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Undertaking is not a
guarantee of the collection of any of the Receivables and Performance Guarantor shall not be
responsible for any Guaranteed Obligations to the extent the failure to perform such Guaranteed
Obligations by Tenneco Operating or Pullman results from Receivables being uncollectible on account
of the insolvency, bankruptcy or lack of

84

 

creditworthiness of the related Obligor; provided that nothing herein shall relieve Tenneco
Operating or Pullman from performing in full its Guaranteed Obligations under the Agreements to
which it is a party or Performance Guarantor of its undertaking hereunder with respect to the full
performance of such duties.

          Section 3. Performance Guarantor’s Further Agreements to Pay. Performance Guarantor further
agrees, as the principal obligor and not as a guarantor only, to pay to Recipient (and its
assigns), forthwith upon demand in funds immediately available to Recipient, all reasonable costs
and expenses (including court costs and reasonable legal expenses) incurred or expended by
Recipient in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations, this Undertaking and the enforcement
thereof, together with interest on amounts recoverable under this Undertaking from the time when
such amounts become due until payment, at a rate of interest (computed for the actual number of
days elapsed based on a 365-, or when appropriate, 366-day year) equal to the Prime Rate plus 2%
per annum, such rate of interest changing when and as the Prime Rate changes.

          Section 4. Waivers by Performance Guarantor. Performance Guarantor waives notice of acceptance
of this Undertaking, notice of any action taken or omitted by Recipient (or its assigns) in
reliance on this Undertaking, and any requirement that Recipient (or its assigns) be diligent or
prompt in making demands under this Undertaking, giving notice of any Termination Event,
Amortization Event, other default or omission by Tenneco Operating or Pullman or asserting any
other rights of Recipient under this Undertaking. Performance Guarantor warrants that it has
adequate means to obtain from Tenneco Operating or Pullman, as the case may be, on a continuing
basis, information concerning the financial condition of Tenneco Operating or Pullman, as
applicable, and that it is not relying on Recipient to provide such information, now or in the
future. Performance Guarantor also irrevocably waives all defenses (i) that at any time may be
available in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations by virtue of any statute of limitations,
valuation, stay, moratorium law or other similar law now or hereafter in effect or (ii) that arise
under the law of suretyship, including impairment of collateral. Recipient (and its assigns) shall
be at liberty, without giving notice to or obtaining the assent of Performance Guarantor and
without relieving Performance Guarantor of any liability under this Undertaking, to deal with
Tenneco Operating and Pullman and with each other party who now is or after the date hereof becomes
liable in any manner for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, in such manner as Recipient in its sole
discretion deems fit, and to this end Performance Guarantor agrees that the validity and
enforceability of this Undertaking, including without limitation, the provisions of Section 7
hereof, shall not be impaired or affected by any of the following: (a) any extension, modification
or renewal of, or indulgence with respect to, or substitutions for, the Guaranteed Obligations or
any part thereof or any agreement relating thereto at any time; (b) any failure or omission to
enforce any right, power or remedy with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof
or any agreement relating thereto, or any collateral securing the Guaranteed Obligations or any
part thereof; (c) any waiver of any right, power or remedy or of any Termination Event,
Amortization Event, or default with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof or
any agreement relating thereto; (d) any release, surrender, compromise, settlement, waiver,
subordination or modification, with or without consideration, of any other obligation of any person
or entity with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof; (e) the enforceability or
validity of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof or the genuineness, enforceability or
validity of any agreement relating thereto or with respect to the

85

 

Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof; (f) the application of payments received from any
source to the payment of any payment obligations of Tenneco Operating or Pullman or any part
thereof or amounts which are not covered by this Undertaking even though Recipient (or its assigns)
might lawfully have elected to apply such payments to any part or all of the payment obligations of
Tenneco Operating or Pullman or to amounts which are not covered by this Undertaking; (g) the
existence of any claim, setoff or other rights which Performance Guarantor may have at any time
against Tenneco Operating or Pullman in connection herewith or any unrelated transaction; (h) any
assignment or transfer of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof; or (i) any failure on the
part of Tenneco Operating or Pullman to perform or comply with any term of the Agreements or any
other document executed in connection therewith or delivered thereunder, all whether or not
Performance Guarantor shall have had notice or knowledge of any act or omission referred to in the
foregoing clauses (a) through (i) of this Section 4.

          Section 5. Unenforceability of Guaranteed Obligations Against Tenneco Operating or Pullman.
Notwithstanding (a) any change of ownership of Tenneco Operating or Pullman or the insolvency,
bankruptcy or any other change in the legal status of Tenneco Operating or Pullman; (b) the change
in or the imposition of any law, decree, regulation or other governmental act which does or might
impair, delay or in any way affect the validity, enforceability or the payment when due of the
Guaranteed Obligations; (c) the failure of Tenneco Operating or Pullman or Performance Guarantor to
maintain in full force, validity or effect or to obtain or renew when required all governmental and
other approvals, licenses or consents required in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations or
this Undertaking, or to take any other action required in connection with the performance of all
obligations pursuant to the Guaranteed Obligations or this Undertaking; or (d) if any of the moneys
included in the Guaranteed Obligations have become irrecoverable from Tenneco Operating or Pullman
for any other reason other than final payment in full of the payment Guaranteed Obligations in
accordance with their terms, this Undertaking shall nevertheless be binding on Performance
Guarantor. This
Undertaking shall be in addition to any other guaranty or other security for the Guaranteed
Obligations, and it shall not be rendered unenforceable by the invalidity of any such other
guaranty or security. In the event that acceleration of the time for payment of any of the
Guaranteed Obligations is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Tenneco
Operating or Pullman or for any other reason with respect to Tenneco Operating or Pullman, all such
amounts then due and owing with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations under the terms of the
Agreements, or any other agreement evidencing, securing or otherwise executed in connection with
the Guaranteed Obligations, shall be immediately due and payable by Performance Guarantor.

          Section 6. Representations and Warranties. Performance Guarantor hereby represents and
warrants to Recipient that:

          (a) Existence and Standing. Performance Guarantor is a corporation duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of its state of incorporation. Performance Guarantor
is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation, and has and
holds all corporate power and all governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals
required to carry on its business in each jurisdiction in which its business

86

 

is conducted except where the failure to so qualify or so hold could not reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect.

          (b) Authorization, Execution and Delivery; Binding Effect. The execution and delivery by
Performance Guarantor of this Undertaking, and the performance of its obligations hereunder, are
within its corporate powers and authority and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate
action on its part. This Undertaking has been duly executed and delivered by Performance Guarantor.
This Undertaking constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Performance Guarantor
enforceable against Performance Guarantor in accordance with their respective terms, except as such
enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar
laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity
(regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).

          (c) No Conflict; Government Consent. The execution and delivery by Performance Guarantor of
this Undertaking, and the performance of its obligations hereunder do not contravene or violate (i)
its certificate or articles of incorporation or by-laws, (ii) any law, rule or regulation
applicable to it, (iii) any restrictions under any agreement, contract or instrument to which it is
a party or by which it or any of its property is bound, or (iv) any order, writ, judgment, award,
injunction or decree binding on or affecting it or its property, and do not result in the creation
or imposition of any Adverse Claim on assets of Performance Guarantor or its Subsidiaries (except
as created hereunder) except, in any case, where such contravention or violation could not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          (d) Financial Statements. The consolidated financial statements of Performance Guarantor and
its consolidated Subsidiaries dated as of December 31, 2004 and March 31, 2005 heretofore delivered
to Recipient have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
consistently applied and fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial
condition and results of operations of Performance Guarantor and its consolidated Subsidiaries as
of such dates and for the periods ended on such dates. Since the later of (i) December 31, 2004 and
(ii) the last time this representation was made or deemed made, no event has occurred which would
or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          (e) Taxes. Performance Guarantor has filed all United States federal tax returns and all other
tax returns which are required to be filed and have paid all taxes due pursuant to said returns or
pursuant to any assessment received by Performance Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries, except
such taxes, if any, as are being contested in good faith and as to which adequate reserves have
been provided. No federal or state tax liens have been filed and no claims are being asserted with
respect to any such taxes. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of Performance Guarantor
in respect of any taxes or other governmental charges are adequate.

          (f) Litigation and Contingent Obligations. Except as disclosed in the filings made by
Performance Guarantor with the Securities and Exchange Commission, there are no actions, suits or
proceedings pending or, to the best of Performance Guarantor’s knowledge threatened against or
affecting Performance Guarantor or any of its properties, in or before any

87

 

court, arbitrator or other body, that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse
effect on (i) the business, properties, condition (financial or otherwise) or results of operations
of Performance Guarantor and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, (ii) the ability of Performance
Guarantor to perform its obligations under this Undertaking, or (iii) the validity or
enforceability of any of this Undertaking or the rights or remedies of Recipient hereunder.
Performance Guarantor does not have any material Contingent Obligations not provided for or
disclosed in the financial statements referred to in Section 6(d).

          Section 7. Subrogation; Subordination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, until the Guaranteed Obligations are paid in full Performance Guarantor: (a) will not
enforce or otherwise exercise any right of subrogation to any of the rights of Recipient, any Agent
or any Purchaser against Tenneco Operating or Pullman, (b) hereby waives all rights of subrogation
(whether contractual, under Section 509 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, at law or in equity
or otherwise) to the claims of Recipient, the Agents and the Purchasers against Tenneco Operating
or Pullman and all contractual, statutory or legal or equitable rights of contribution,
reimbursement, indemnification and similar rights and “claims” (as that term is defined in the
United States Bankruptcy Code) which Performance Guarantor might now have or hereafter acquire
against Tenneco Operating or Pullman that arise from the existence or performance of Performance
Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, (c) will not claim any setoff, recoupment or counterclaim
against Tenneco Operating or Pullman in respect of any liability of Performance Guarantor to
Tenneco Operating or Pullman and (d) waives any benefit of and any right to participate in any
collateral security which may be held by Beneficiaries, the Agents or the Purchasers. The payment
of any amounts due with respect to any indebtedness of Tenneco Operating or Pullman now or
hereafter owed to Performance Guarantor is hereby subordinated to the prior payment in full of all
of the Guaranteed Obligations. Performance Guarantor agrees that, after the occurrence of any
default in the payment or performance of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, Performance Guarantor
will not demand, sue for or otherwise attempt to collect any such indebtedness of Tenneco Operating
or Pullman to Performance Guarantor until all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid
and performed in full. If, notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, Performance Guarantor shall
collect, enforce or receive any amounts in respect of such indebtedness while any Guaranteed
Obligations are still unperformed or outstanding, such amounts shall be collected, enforced and
received by Performance Guarantor as trustee for Recipient (and its assigns) and be paid over to
Recipient (or its assigns) on account of the Guaranteed Obligations without affecting in any manner
the liability of Performance Guarantor under the other provisions of this Undertaking. The
provisions of this Section 7 shall be supplemental to and not in derogation of any rights and
remedies of Recipient under any separate subordination agreement which Recipient may at any time
and from time to time enter into with Performance Guarantor.

     Section 8. Termination of Performance Undertaking. Performance Guarantor’s obligations
hereunder shall continue in full force and effect until all Aggregate Unpaids are finally paid and
satisfied in full and the Purchase Agreement is terminated, provided that this Undertaking shall
continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment or
other satisfaction of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored
or returned upon the bankruptcy, insolvency, or reorganization of Tenneco Operating or Pullman or
otherwise, as though such payment had not been made or other satisfaction occurred, whether or not
Recipient (or its assigns) is in possession of this

88

 

Undertaking. No invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability by reason of the federal bankruptcy
code or any insolvency or other similar law, or any law or order of any government or agency
thereof purporting to reduce, amend or otherwise affect the Guaranteed Obligations shall impair,
affect, be a defense to or claim against the obligations of Performance Guarantor under this
Undertaking.

          Section 9. Effect of Bankruptcy. This Performance Undertaking shall survive the insolvency of
Tenneco Operating or Pullman and the commencement of any case or proceeding by or against Tenneco
Operating or Pullman under the federal bankruptcy code or other federal, state or other applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization statutes. No automatic stay under the federal bankruptcy
code with respect to Tenneco Operating or Pullman or other federal, state or other applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization statutes to which Tenneco Operating or Pullman is subject
shall postpone the obligations of Performance Guarantor under this Undertaking.

          Section 10. Setoff. Regardless of the other means of obtaining payment of any of the
Guaranteed Obligations, Recipient (and its assigns) is hereby authorized at any time and from time
to time, without notice to Performance Guarantor (any such notice being expressly waived by
Performance Guarantor) and to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any
deposits and other sums against the obligations of Performance Guarantor under this Undertaking,
whether or not Recipient (or any such assign) shall have made any demand under this Undertaking and
although such obligations may be contingent or unmatured.

          Section 11. Taxes. All payments to be made by Performance Guarantor hereunder shall be made
free and clear of any deduction or withholding. If Performance Guarantor is required by law to make
any deduction or withholding on account of tax or otherwise from any such payment, the sum due from
it in respect of such payment shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the
making of such deduction or withholding, Recipient receive a net sum equal to the sum which they
would have received had no deduction or withholding been made.

          Section 12. Further Assurances. Performance Guarantor agrees that it will from time to time,
at the request of Recipient (or its assigns), provide information relating to the business and
affairs of Performance Guarantor as Recipient may reasonably request.
Performance Guarantor also agrees to do all such things and execute all such documents as Recipient
(or its assigns) may reasonably consider necessary or desirable to give full effect to this
Undertaking and to perfect and preserve the rights and powers of Recipient hereunder.

          Section 13. Successors and Assigns. This Performance Undertaking shall be binding upon
Performance Guarantor, its successors and permitted assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of and
be enforceable by Recipient and its successors and assigns. Performance Guarantor may not assign or
transfer any of its obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each of Recipient
and the Agents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, Recipient may assign or
otherwise transfer the Agreements, any other documents executed in connection therewith or
delivered thereunder or any other agreement or note held by them evidencing, securing or otherwise
executed in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations, or sell participations in any interest
therein, to any other entity or other person, and such other

89

 

entity or other person shall thereupon become vested, to the extent set forth in the agreement
evidencing such assignment, transfer or participation, with all the rights in respect thereof
granted to the Beneficiaries herein.

          Section 14. Amendments and Waivers. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this
Undertaking nor consent to any departure by Performance Guarantor therefrom shall be effective
unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Recipient, the Agents and Performance Guarantor.
No failure on the part of Recipient 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.

          Section 15. Notices. All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be made
in writing and shall be addressed as follows: if to Performance Guarantor, at the address set forth
beneath its signature hereto, and if to Recipient, at the addresses set forth beneath its signature

W
I T N E S S E T H:

     WHEREAS, the Seller Parties, the Liberty Street Group, the Jupiter Group and
the Agents are parties to that certain Second Amended and Restated Receivables
Purchase Agreement dated as of May 4, 2005, as heretofore amended (the
“Agreement”); and

     WHEREAS, the parties wish to amend the Agreement on the terms and subject to
the conditions hereinafter set forth;

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises herein contained, and for other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby
agree as follows:

          1. Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined
shall have their meanings as attributed to such terms in the Agreement.

 

 

          2. Amendments.

          2.1. Each of the following definitions in the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its
entirety to read, respectively, as follows:

     “Concentration Limit” means, at any time, for any Obligor, 6% (7% if conditions
are such that the Loss Reserve Floor is 21%) of the aggregate Outstanding Balance of
all Eligible Receivables after subtracting the Pass Through Reserve, the Warranty
Reserve and the Price Give Back Accrual, or such other amount (a “Special Concentration
Limit”) for such Obligor designated by the Administrative Agent; provided that in the
case of an Obligor and any Affiliate of such Obligor, the Concentration Limit shall be
calculated as if such Obligor and such Affiliate are one Obligor; and provided,
further, that the Administrative Agent may, upon not less than ten (10) Business Days’
notice to Seller, cancel any Special Concentration Limit. As of the date hereof, and
subject to cancellation as described above, any Obligor and its Affiliates shall have a
Special Concentration Limit equal to 7% of aggregate Outstanding Balance of all
Eligible Receivables after subtracting the Pass Through Reserve, the Warranty Reserve
and the Price Give Back Accrual, so long as such Obligor’s long term debt ratings equal
or exceed “BBB-” from Standard & Poor’s, a division of the McGraw-Hill Companies
(“S&P”) and “Baa3” from Moody’s
Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”).

     “Percentage” means 56.52173% for the Jupiter Group and 43.47827% for the Liberty
Street Group, which percentages shall be adjusted to give effect to the terms and
provisions of Section 2.2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of the initial
Purchase on July 11, 2005, the applicable Percentage for the Liberty Street Group shall
be decreased, and the applicable Percentage for the Jupiter Group shall be increased,
such that after giving effect to such initial Purchase, the outstanding Capital from
each Group shall be 56.52173% for the Jupiter Group and 43.47827% for the Liberty
Street Group.

     “Purchase
Limit” means $115,000,000.

     2.2.
The table in Schedule A to the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its
entirety to read as follows:

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	Group	 	Committed Purchaser	 	Commitment
	Jupiter Group
	 	JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.	 	$	65,000,000	 
	Liberty Street Group
	 	The Bank of Nova Scotia, 
New York Agency	 	$	50,000,000	 

          3. Certain Representations. In order to induce the Agents and the Purchasers to
enter into this Amendment, each of the Seller Parties hereby represents and warrants to the Agents
and the Purchasers that, both before and after giving effect to the amendments contained

2

 

in Section 2 hereof, (a) no Amortization Event or Potential Amortization Event exists and is
continuing as of the Effective Date (as defined in Section 4 below), (b) the Agreement, as amended
hereby, constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligations of such Seller Party enforceable
against such Seller Party in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited
by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws relating to or limiting
creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement
is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law and (c) each of such Seller Party’s representations
and warranties contained in this Agreement is true and correct as of the Effective Date as though
made on such date (except for such representations and warranties that speak only as of an earlier
date).

          4.
Effective Date. This Amendment shall become effective as of the date first above
written (the “Effective Date”) upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of counterparts of this
Amendment, duly executed by each of the parties hereto, and consented to by the Performance
Guarantor in the space provided below.

          5. Ratification. Except as expressly modified hereby, the Agreement, as amended
hereby, is hereby ratified, approved and confirmed in all respects.

          6. Reference to Agreement. From and after the Effective Date hereof, each reference in
the Agreement to “this Agreement”, “hereof”, or “hereunder” or words of like import, and all
references to the Agreement in any and all agreements, instruments, documents, notes, certificates
and other writings of every kind and nature shall be deemed to mean the Agreement, as amended by
this Amendment.

          7. Costs and Expenses. The Seller agrees to pay all reasonable costs, fees, and
out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and time charges of attorneys for the
Agents, which attorneys may be employees of an Agent) incurred by the Agent in connection with the
preparation, execution and enforcement of this Amendment.

          8. CHOICE OF LAW. THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL
LAWS (AND NOT THE LAW OF CONFLICTS) OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS.

          9. Execution in Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of
counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so

W
I T N E S S E T H:

     WHEREAS, Tenneco Operating and Seller are parties to that certain Receivables
Sale Agreement, dated as of October 31, 2000, between Tenneco Operating, as seller,
and Seller, as purchaser, and Pullman and Seller are parties to that certain

Agreements, the “Agreements”); and

     WHEREAS, the parties wish to amend the Agreements on the terms and subject to the
conditions hereinafter set forth;

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises herein contained, and for other good and

               2.1. The definition of “Receivable” in the Receivables Purchase
Agreement (and as incorporated by reference in the Receivables Sale Agreements) is hereby amended
and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

     “Receivable” means all indebtedness and other obligations owed to Seller or an

Receivable separate from a Receivable consisting of the indebtedness and other rights
and obligations arising from any other transaction; provided further, that any
indebtedness, rights or obligations referred to in the immediately preceding sentence
shall be a Receivable regardless of whether the account debtor or Seller treats such
indebtedness, rights or obligations as a separate payment obligation.

     2.2. Each of the Agents and the Purchasers hereby consents to the sale by Seller to the
applicable Originator of all indebtedness and other obligations owing to Seller by Delphi
Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries as of September 21, 2005 together with all supporting
obligations, records, and collections with respect thereto and proceeds of the foregoing
(collectively, the “Delphi Receivable Assets”). For value received, Seller does hereby sell
and assign to the applicable Originator, and the applicable Originator does hereby purchase
and accept, all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Delphi Receivable Assets
originated by such Originator.

Purchasers that, both before and after giving effect to the amendments contained in Section 2
hereof, (a) no Amortization Event or Potential Amortization Event exists and is continuing as of
the Effective Date (as defined in Section 4 below), (b) each of the Agreements to which such
Company is a party, as amended hereby, constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligations of such
Company enforceable against such Company in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement
may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws relating

whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law and (c) each of such Company’s
representations and warranties contained in each of the Agreements to which it is a party is true

Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement dated as of May 4, 2005, as heretofore amended
(the “Receivables Purchase Agreement” and, together with the Receivable Sale

     WHEREAS, the parties wish to amend the Agreements on the terms and subject to the
conditions hereinafter set forth;

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises herein contained, and for other good and

amended and restated in their entirety to read, respectively, as follows:

     “Receivable” means all indebtedness and other obligations owed to Seller or an
Originator (at the time it arises, and before giving effect to any transfer or
conveyance under a Receivables Sale Agreement or hereunder) or in which Seller or an
Originator has a security interest or other interest, including, without limitation,
any indebtedness, obligation or interest constituting an account, chattel paper,
instrument or general intangible, arising in connection with the sale of goods or the
rendering of services by such Originator and the obligation to pay any Finance Charges
with respect thereto; provided, however, in no event shall the term “Receivable”
include any such indebtedness or obligations (i) owed by any Subsidiary of Tenneco
Automotive at any time, or (ii) owed by Delphi Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries
if originated on or prior to October 9, 2005. Indebtedness and other rights and
obligations arising from any one transaction, including, without limitation,
indebtedness and other rights and obligations represented by an individual invoice,
shall constitute a Receivable separate from a Receivable consisting of the indebtedness
and other rights and obligations arising from any other transaction; provided further,
that any indebtedness, rights or obligations referred to in the immediately preceding
sentence shall be a Receivable regardless of whether the account debtor or Seller
treats such indebtedness, rights or obligations as a separate payment obligation.

     “Tenneco Automotive” means (a) prior to October 27, 2005, Tenneco Automotive
Inc., a Delaware corporation, and (b) from and after October 27, 2005, Tenneco
Inc.,  a Delaware corporation formerly known as Tenneco Automotive Inc.

Agents and the Purchasers that, both before and after giving effect to the amendments
contained in Section 2 hereof, (a) no Amortization Event or Potential Amortization Event exists and is

(c) each of such Company’s representations and warranties contained in each of the Agreements to
which it is a party is true and correct as of the Effective Date as though made on such date
(except for such representations and warranties that speak only as of an earlier date).

reference in the Agreements to “this Agreement”,
“hereof”, or “hereunder” or words of like
import, and all references to the Agreements in any and all agreements, instruments,
documents, notes, certificates and other writings of every kind and nature shall be deemed to mean the

and out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and time charges of attorneys
for the Agents, which attorneys may be employees of an Agent) incurred by the Agent in

     “Dilutions” means, at any time, the aggregate amount of reductions or
cancellations described in clause (i) of the definition of “Deemed Collections”
less, solely prior to April 15, 2006, the original Outstanding Balance of all
Receivables arising from the production and shipment of prototypes.

          3. Certain Representations. In order to induce the Agents and the Purchasers to enter
into this Amendment, each of the Seller Parties hereby represents and warrants to the Agents and

          (b) The definition of the term “Sales-Promotion Reserve” is hereby added to

W I
T N E S S E T H : 

          WHEREAS, the Seller Parties, the Liberty Street Group, the Falcon Group and the Agents are
parties to that certain Second Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement dated as of May
4, 2005, as heretofore amended (the “Receivables Purchase
Agreement”);

          WHEREAS, the parties wish to amend the Receivables Purchase Agreement and extend the
facility evidenced thereby on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein; and

          WHEREAS, the Purchasers and Agents are willing to agree to such amendments and extension
subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein;

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises herein contained, and for other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby
agree as follows:

 

 

          1. Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined
shall have their meanings as attributed to such terms in the Receivables Purchase Agreement.

          2. Amendments.

               (a) Section 9.1 (f)(i) of the Receivables Purchase Agreement is hereby
amended by replacing “12.50%” with “3.00%”.

               (b) Section 9.1 (f)(ii) of the Receivables Purchase Agreement is hereby
amended by replacing “4.00%” with “2.00%”.

               (c) Section 9.1 (i) of the Receivables Purchase Agreement is hereby
amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

     “(i) Tenneco shall fail to observe any provision of Section 7.1 of the
Tenneco Credit Agreement as in effect on December 23, 2008 (regardless of whether
the same remains in effect).”

               (d) Section 10.2
of the Receivables Purchase Agreement is hereby
amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

     “Section 10.2 Increased Cost and Reduced Return: Accounting Based
Consolidation Event.

     (a) If after the date hereof, any Affected Entity shall be charged any fee,
expense or increased cost on account of the adoption of any applicable law, rule or
regulation (including any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital
adequacy), any accounting principles or any change in any of the foregoing, or any
change in the interpretation or administration thereof by the Financial Accounting
Standards Board (“FASB ”), any governmental authority, any central bank or any
comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or
compliance with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of
any such authority or agency (a “Regulatory Change”): (i) that subjects any Affected
Entity to any charge or withholding on or with respect to any Liquidity Agreement or
an Affected Entity’s obligations under a Liquidity Agreement, or on or with respect to
the Receivables, or changes the basis of taxation of payments to any Affected Entity
of any amounts payable under any Liquidity Agreement (except for changes in the rate
of tax on the overall net income of an Affected Entity or taxes excluded by
Section 10.1) or (ii) that imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve,
assessment, insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement against assets
of, deposits with or for the account of an Affected Entity, or credit extended by an
Affected Entity pursuant to a Liquidity Agreement or (iii) that imposes any other
condition the result of which is to increase the cost to an Affected Entity of
performing its obligations under a Liquidity Agreement, or to reduce the rate of
return on an Affected Entity’s capital as a consequence of its obligations under a
Liquidity Agreement, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by an
Affected Entity under a Liquidity Agreement or to require any payment calculated

2

 

by reference to the amount of interests or loans held or interest received by it (all of the
foregoing, “Increased Costs”), then, upon demand by the applicable Co-Agent, Seller shall
pay to such Co-Agent, for the benefit of the relevant Affected Entity, such Increased Costs
charged to such Affected Entity or such amounts to otherwise compensate such Affected Entity
for such Increased Costs. To the extent that any Liquidity Agreement described in this
Section covers facilities in addition to this Agreement, each Conduit shall allocate the
liability for any applicable Increased Costs among Seller and other Persons with whom such
Conduit has entered into agreements to purchase interests in or finance receivables and
other financial assets (“Other Customers”). If any Increased Costs are attributable to
Seller and not attributable to any Other Customer, Seller shall be solely liable for such
Increased Costs. However, if Increased Costs are attributable to Other Customers and not
attributable to Seller, such Other Customer shall be solely liable for such Increased Costs.
All allocations to be made pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall be
made by such Conduit in its sole discretion and shall be binding on Seller and the Servicer.
For the avoidance of doubt, if the issuance of FASB Interpretation No. 46, or any other
change in accounting standards or the issuance of any other pronouncement, release or
interpretation, causes or requires the consolidation of all or a portion of the assets and
liabilities of any Conduit or any Seller Party with the assets and liabilities of any Agent,
any Person or any other Affected Entity and such event results in Increased Costs, such
event shall constitute a circumstance on which such Affected Entity may base a claim for
reimbursement under this Section for such Increased Costs.

     (b) If after the date hereof, any Accounting Based Consolidation Event shall
occur which is not the result of a Regulatory Change, then, upon demand by the applicable
Co-Agent, Seller shall pay to such Co-Agent, for the benefit of the relevant Affected
Entity, such amounts as such Affected Entity reasonably determines will compensate or
reimburse such Affected Entity for any resulting (i) Increased Costs, charged to, incurred
or otherwise suffered by such Affected Entity, (ii) reduction in the rate of return on such
Affected Entity’s capital or reduction in the amount of any sum received or receivable by
such Affected Entity or (iii) internal capital charge or other imputed cost, in each case as
determined by such Affected Entity to be allocable to Seller or the transactions
contemplated in this Agreement in connection therewith; provided, however, that in no event
may any Affected Entity (or the applicable Co-Agent on its behalf) with respect to any
Conduit claim or receive reimbursement or compensation for amounts under this Section
10.2(b) that would result in the total compensation payable to it and all other Affected
Entities with respect to such Conduit (inclusive of Yield and fees) exceeding the total
compensation that would have been payable to all such Affected Entities immediately prior to
such Accounting Based Consolidation Event if fundings were made on behalf of such Conduit
hereunder through its Committed Purchaser purchasing or committing to purchase Purchaser
Interest pursuant to Article IV of this Agreement. Amounts under this Section 10.2(b) may be
demanded at any time without regard to the timing of issuance of any financial statement by
a Seller Party or by any Affected Entity.

3

 

     (c) Payment of any sum pursuant to this Section 10.2 shall be made by the Seller
to the applicable Co-Agent, for the benefit of the relevant Affected Entity, not later than
ten (10) days after any such demand is made. A certificate of any Affected Entity, signed by
an authorized officer claiming compensation under this Section 10.2 and setting forth in
reasonable detail the additional amount to be paid for its benefit and explaining the manner
in which such amount was determined shall be presumptive evidence of the amount to be paid,
absent manifest error. Amounts under this Section 10.2 may be demanded at any time without
regard to the timing of issuance of any financial statement by a Conduit or any Affected
Entity.”

               (e) Section 14.14 of the Receivables Purchase Agreement is hereby
amended by adding a new Section 14.14(c) to the end thereof to read as follows:

     “(c) If, notwithstanding the intention of the parties expressed above, any sale or
transfer by Seller hereunder shall be characterized as a secured loan and not a sale or such
sale shall for any reason be ineffective or unenforceable (any of the foregoing being a
“Recharacterization”), then this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a security
agreement under the UCC and other applicable law. In the case of any Recharacterization, the
Seller represents and warrants that each remittance of Collections to the Agent or the
Purchasers hereunder will have been (i) in payment of a debt incurred in the ordinary course
of business or financial affairs and (ii) made in the ordinary course of business or
financial affairs.”

               (f) Article 14 of the Receivables Purchase Agreement is hereby
amended by adding a new Section 14.15 to the end thereof to read as follows:

     “Section 14.15. Federal Reserve. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement to the contrary, any Purchaser may at any time pledge or grant a security interest
in all or any portion of its rights (including, without limitation, any Purchaser Interest
and any rights to payment of Capital and Yield) under this Agreement to secure obligations
of such Purchaser to a Federal Reserve Bank, without notice to or consent of the Seller, any
other Purchaser or the Agent; provided that no such pledge or grant of a security interest
shall release a Purchaser from any of its obligations hereunder, or substitute any such
pledgee or grantee for such Purchaser as a party hereto.”

               (g) The definition of “Applicable Margin” in Exhibit I to the
Receivables Purchase Agreement is deleted in its entirety.

               (h) The
definition of “LIBO Rate” in Exhibit I to the Receivables
Purchase Agreement is amended by replacing “(ii) the “Applicable Margin” that is applicable to
“Revolving Loans” that are “Eurodollar Loans” (in each of the foregoing cases, as defined in the
Tenneco Credit Agreement), per annum” with “(ii) 6.50%, per annum.”

4

 

               (i) The definition of “Loss Reserve Percentage” in Exhibit I to the Receivables
Purchase Agreement is amended by replacing “2.25” with “2.50”.

               (j) The following definitions in the Receivables Purchase Agreement are hereby amended
and restated in their entirety to read, respectively, as follows:

     “Concentration Limit” means, at any time, for any Obligor, 3.6% of the aggregate
Outstanding Balance of all Eligible Receivables after subtracting the Pass Through
Reserve, the Warranty Reserve and the Price Give Back Accrual, or such other higher
amount (a “Special Concentration Limit”) for such Obligor designated by the
Administrative Agent; provided that in the case of an Obligor and any Affiliate of
such Obligor, the Concentration Limit shall be calculated as if such Obligor and such
Affiliate are one Obligor; and provided, further, that any Agent may, upon not
less than ten (10) Business Days’ notice to Seller, cancel any Special Concentration
Limit. As of the Ninth Amendment Effective Date, and subject to cancellation as
described above, (i) any Obligor and its Affiliates shall have a Special Concentration
Limit equal to 6% of aggregate Outstanding Balance of all Eligible Receivables after
subtracting the Pass Through Reserve, the Warranty Reserve and the Price Give Back
Accrual, so long as such Obligor’s long term debt ratings equal or exceed “BBB-” from
Standard & Poor’s, a division of the McGraw-Hill Companies
(“S&P”) and “Baa3” from
Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”); and if the Obligor is Genuine Auto Parts
(NAPA), so long as an S&P long term debt shadow rating equal to or in excess of “A-”
is obtained; and (ii) the Special Concentration Limits of (a) Ford Motor Company and
its Affiliates shall be equal to the lesser of 4.5% of Eligible Receivables or 50% of
the Loss Reserve Floor, (b) General Motors Corporation and its Affiliates shall be
equal to the lesser of 4.5% of Eligible Receivables or 50% of the Loss Reserve Floor
and (c) Chrysler Corporation shall be equal to zero (0).

     “Dilution
Reserve” means, on any date of determination, an amount equal to
the greater of (a) 10% of the Net Receivables Balance, and (b) the amount
determined pursuant to the following formula:

{
(SF x ED) + [ (DS – ED) x (DS/ED) ] } x DHR x NRB

where:

SF= 2.50;

ED= Expected Dilution;

DS=
Dilution Spike;

DHR= Dilution Horizon Ratio; and

NRB= Net Receivables Balance.

5

 

     “Liquidity Termination Date” means March 2, 2009.

     “Prime Rate” means a rate per annum equal to the greatest of (a) the prime rate
of interest announced from time to time by the applicable Co-Agent or its parent (which
is not necessarily the lowest rate charged to any customer), changing when and as said
prime rate changes, (b) the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 1.50% and (c) the LIBO
Rate.

     “Tenneco Credit Agreement” means that certain Second Amended and Restated Credit

by and among Tenneco Automotive Inc., the several lenders from time to time parties
thereto, JPMorgan Chase Bank as Administrative Agent for the lenders, and the other
financial institutions named therein as agents for the lenders.

Purchase Agreement in their appropriate alphabetical order:

and/or regulatory accounting purposes, of all or any portion of the assets and
liabilities of any Conduit that is subject to this Agreement or any other Transaction

Accounting Based Consolidation Event shall be deemed to occur on the date any Funding
Source shall acknowledge in writing that any such consolidation of the assets and
liabilities of a Conduit shall occur.

     “AffectedEntity” means (i) any Funding Source, (ii) any agent, administrator
or manager of a Conduit or (iii) any bank holding company in respect of any of the
foregoing.

          3. Certain Representations. In order to induce the Agents and the Purchasers
to enter into this Amendment, each of the Seller Parties hereby represents and warrants to the
Agents and the Purchasers that after giving effect to the amendments contained in Section 2
