Survival of Indemnification

6.3

Where a written claim under this  has been made within the permitted time periods applicable to such claim set out herein, the right to indemnification in respect of such claim shall continue in full force and effect until the claim is finally settled or adjudicated and all payments to be made in respect of any settlement of adjudication have been made.

Notice of Claim

6.4

If a party (the “Indemnified Party”) becomes aware of any claim in respect of which another party (the “Indemnifying Party”) agreed to indemnify the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall promptly give written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party.  Such notice shall specify whether the claim arises as a result of a claim by a person against the Indemnified Party (a “Third Party Claim”) or whether the claim does not so arise (a “Direct Claim”), and shall also specify with reasonable particularity (to the extent that the information is available) the factual basis for the claim and the amount of the claim, if known.  The failure to notify an Indemnifying Party hereunder shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually and materially prejudiced by the failure to so promptly notify.

Direct Claims

6.5

With respect to any Direct Claim, following receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party of the claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have 60 days to make such investigation of the claim as is considered necessary or desirable.  For the purpose of such investigation, the Indemnified Party shall make available to the Indemnifying Party the information relied upon by the Indemnified Party to substantiate the claim, together with all such other information as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request.  If both parties agree at or before the expiration of such 60 day period (or any mutually agreed upon extension thereof) to the validity and amount of such claim, the Indemnifying Party shall immediately pay to the Indemnified Party the full agreed upon amount of the claim.  If no such agreement is reached, or if such payment shall not be made when due, the parties may, upon mutual consent, submit the dispute to arbitration or mediation in accordance with procedures to be discussed and agreed between the parties at the relevant time, provided that if the dispute is not submitted to arbitration or mediation in accordance with the provisions of this section within 60 Technology days following receipt of notice of the claim from the Indemnified Party, each of the parties to the dispute shall be entitled to pursue all other available remedies.

Third Party Claims

6.6

With respect to any Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its expense, to participate in or assume control of the negotiation, settlement or defense of the claim.  If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume such control, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the negotiation, settlement or defense of such Third Party Claim at its sole cost and to retain counsel to act on its behalf, provided that the fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be paid by the Indemnified Party unless the Indemnifying Party consent to the retention of such counsel or unless the named parties to any action or proceeding include both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party and representation of both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to the actual or potential differing interests between them (such as the availability of different defences).  If the Indemnifying Party, having elected to assume such control, thereafter fails to defend the Third Party Claim within a reasonable time, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to assume such control, and the Indemnifying Party shall be bound by the results obtained by the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim.  If any Third Party Claim is of a nature such that the Indemnified Party is required by applicable law to make a payment to any person (a “Third Party”) with respect to the Third Party Claim before the completion of settlement negotiations or related legal proceedings, the Indemnified Party may make such payment and the Indemnifying Party shall, forthwith after demand by the Indemnified Party, reimburse the Indemnified Party for such payment.  If the amount of any liability of the Indemnified Party under the Third Party Claim in respect of which such payment was made, as finally determined, is less than the amount that was paid by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall, forthwith after receipt of the difference from the Third Party, pay the amount of such difference to the Indemnifying Party.

Settlement of Third Party Claims

6.7

If the Indemnifying Party fails to assume control of the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the exclusive right to, but not the obligation to, contest, settle or pay the amount claimed.  Whether or not the Indemnifying Party assumes control of the negotiation, settlement or defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not settle any Third Party Claim without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that the liability of the Indemnifying Party for such claims shall be limited to the proposed settlement amount if any such consent is not obtained for any reason.

Co-operation

6.8

The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall co-operate fully with each other with respect to Third Party Claims, and shall keep each other fully advised with respect thereto (including supplying copies of all relevant documentation promptly as it becomes available).

    ARTICLE I

    PURCHASE
ARRANGEMENTS

     

    Section
1.1 Purchase
Facility

     

        Upon the terms and
subject to the conditions hereof, Seller may, at its option, sell and assign
Purchaser Interests to the Agent for the benefit of one or more of the
Purchasers.  In accordance with the terms and conditions set forth
herein, the Relevant Conduits in their respective Conduit Groups may
collectively, at their option, instruct the Agent to purchase on their behalf,
or if either of the Relevant Conduits shall decline to purchase, the Agent shall
purchase, on behalf of the Committed Purchasers in the related Conduit Group,
Purchaser Interests from time to time in an aggregate amount not to exceed at
such time the lesser of (i) the Purchase Limit and (ii) the aggregate amount of
the Commitments during the period from the date hereof to but not including the
Facility Termination Date.  Furthermore, with respect to each Conduit
Group, the product of (x) the Purchase Pro Rata Share of such Conduit Group and
(y) the amount of the Purchaser Interests so purchased by the Purchasers in such
Conduit Group from time to time in an aggregate amount shall not exceed at such
time the lesser of (a) the related Group Purchase Limit and (b) the aggregate
amount of the related Commitments for such Conduit Group during the period from
the date hereof to but not including the Facility Termination Date.

     

    Section
1.2 Increases

     

        Seller shall provide
the Funding Agents with at least one Business Days’ prior notice in a form set
forth as Exhibit
II hereto of each Incremental Purchase (a “Purchase Notice”),
with a written copy thereof delivered simultaneously to the
Agent.  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 (which shall be at least $1,000,000 and integral
multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof) and date of purchase and, in the case
of an Incremental Purchase to be funded by the Committed Purchasers, the
requested Discount Rate and Tranche Period.  Following receipt of a
Purchase Notice, the Funding Agents will determine whether the Relevant Conduits
in their respective Conduit Groups agree to make the
purchase.  Without the prior approval of the Relevant Conduit in each
Conduit Group, Seller shall not request more than three proposed purchases in
any calendar month and, unless approved by each Relevant Conduit in its sole
discretion, any such requests in excess of three in any calendar month shall be
void.  If the Relevant Conduit in a Conduit Group declines to make a
proposed purchase, Seller may cancel the Purchase Notice (with a written copy of
the notice of such cancellation delivered simultaneous to the Agent) or, in the
absence of such a cancellation, the Incremental Purchase of the Purchaser
Interest will be made by the Committed Purchasers in the related Conduit
Group.  On the date of each Incremental Purchase, upon satisfaction of
the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article VI, each
Funding Agent on behalf of the Relevant Conduit or the Committed Purchasers in
each Conduit Group, as applicable, shall deposit to the Facility Account, in
immediately available funds, no later than 3:00 p.m. (New York time), an amount
equal to (i) in the case of the Relevant Conduit, the relevant Purchase Pro Rata
Share of the aggregate Purchase Price of the Purchaser Interests such Relevant
Conduit is then purchasing or (ii) in the case of a Committed Purchaser, such
Committed Purchaser’s Pro Rata Share of the relevant Purchase Pro Rata Share of
the aggregate Purchase Price of the Purchaser Interests the Committed Purchasers
in the related Conduit Group are purchasing.  A default by a Purchaser
in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement shall not relieve the
other Purchasers of their obligations hereunder.

     

    Section
1.3 Decreases

     

        Seller shall provide
the Funding Agents with prior written notice in conformity with the Required
Notice Period (a “Reduction Notice”) of
any proposed reduction of Aggregate Capital from Collections, with a copy of
such Reduction Notice delivered simultaneously to the Agent.  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 give effect to the applicable Required Notice Period), and
(ii) the amount of Aggregate Capital to be reduced (the “Aggregate
Reduction”), which shall be applied ratably to the Purchaser Interests of
each Conduit Group in accordance with the amount of Capital (if any) owing to
such Conduit Group (ratably, based on their respective Reduction Pro Rata
Shares).  The Reduction Pro Rata Share of such Aggregate Reduction
with respect to a Conduit Group shall in turn be applied ratably to the
Purchaser Interests of the Conduit(s) and the Committed Purchasers in such
Conduit Group in accordance with the amount of Capital (if any) owing to such
Conduit(s), on the one hand, and the amount of Capital (if any) owing to such
Committed Purchasers (ratably, based on their respective Pro Rata Shares), on
the other hand.  Only one (1) Reduction Notice shall be outstanding at
any time.  No Aggregate Reduction will be made following the
occurrence of the Amortization Date without the consent of the Agent and each
Funding Agent.

     

    Section
1.4 Payment
Requirements

     

        All amounts to be
paid or deposited by any Seller Party pursuant to any provision of this
Agreement shall be paid or deposited in accordance with the terms hereof no
later than 12:00 p.m. (New York time) on the day when due in immediately
available funds, and if not received before 12:00 p.m. (New York time) shall be
deemed to be received on the next succeeding Business Day.  If such
amounts are payable to a Purchaser they shall be paid to the relevant Funding
Agent, for the account of such Purchaser, at 1251 Avenue of the Americas,
New York, New York 10020 (in the case of a Purchaser in the Conduit Group with
Mizuho Corporate Bank Ltd. as a Funding Agent) or 1251 Avenue of the Americas,
New York, New York 10020 or an account or address designated from time to time
by BTMU (in the case of a Purchaser in the Conduit Group with BTMU as a Funding
Agent), as applicable, until the applicable Seller Party is otherwise notified
in writing by the relevant Funding Agent.  Upon notice to Seller, the
relevant Funding Agent may debit the Facility Account for all relevant amounts
due and payable hereunder.  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.  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.

     

     

    Section
1.5 Restated
Agreement

     

        Upon the
effectiveness of this Agreement, each reference to the Original Agreement in any
other Transaction Document, and any document, instrument or agreement executed
and/or delivered in connection with the Original Agreement or any other
Transaction Document, shall mean and be a reference to this
Agreement.  The other Transaction Documents and all agreements,
instruments and documents executed or delivered in connection with the Original
Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall each be deemed to be amended
to the extent necessary, if any, to give effect to the provisions of this
Agreement, as the same may be amended, modified, supplemented or restated from
time to time.  The effect of this Agreement is to amend and restate
the Original Agreement in its entirety, and to the extent that any rights,
benefits or provisions in favor of the Agent or any Purchaser existed in the
Original Agreement and continue to exist in this Agreement without any written
waiver of any such rights, benefits or provisions prior to the date hereof, then
such rights, benefits or provisions are acknowledged to be and to continue to be
effective from and after April 4, 2000.  This Agreement is not a
novation.  The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that any and all
rights, remedies and payment provisions under the Original Agreement, including,
without limitation, any and all rights, remedies and payment provisions with
respect to (i) any representation and warranty made or deemed to be made
pursuant to the Original Agreement, or (ii) any indemnification provision, shall
continue and survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, it being
understood that any breach of a representation or warranty or occurrence of an
Amortization Event that was disclosed to the Agent and Funding Agents prior to
the date hereof and that is no longer continuing after giving effect to the
revisions effected by this Agreement shall be deemed to have been waived by the
due execution of this Agreement by the parties hereto.  The parties
hereto agree and acknowledge that any and all amounts owing as or for Capital,
Yield, CP Costs, fees, expenses or otherwise under or pursuant to the Original
Agreement, immediately prior to the effectiveness of this Agreement, shall be
owing as or for Capital, Yield, CP Costs, fees, expenses or otherwise,
respectively, under or pursuant to this Agreement.

     

     

    ARTICLE II

    PAYMENTS AND
COLLECTIONS

     

    Section
2.1 Payments

     

        Notwithstanding any
limitation on recourse contained in this Agreement, Seller shall immediately pay
to each Funding Agent (or to an account designated by such Funding Agent) when
due, for the account of the Purchaser or Purchasers in the relevant Conduit
Group on a full recourse basis, (i) such relevant fees as set forth in the Fee
Letter (which fees shall be sufficient to pay all fees owing to the relevant
Committed Purchasers), (ii) all relevant CP Costs, (iii) all relevant amounts
payable as Yield, (iv) all relevant 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) all relevant amounts payable to reduce the Purchaser Interest, if required,
pursuant to Section
2.6, (vi) all relevant amounts payable pursuant to Article X, if any,
(vii) all relevant Servicer costs and expenses, including the Servicing Fee, in
connection with servicing, administering and collecting the Receivables, (viii)
all relevant Broken Funding Costs and (ix) all relevant Default Fees
(collectively, the “Obligations”).  If
any Person fails to pay any of the Obligations when due, such Person agrees to
pay, on demand, the Default Fee in respect thereof until
paid.  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 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 Funding Agents.

     

    Section
2.2 Collections Prior to
Amortization

     

        Prior to the
Amortization Date, any Collections and/or Deemed Collections received by
Servicer shall be set aside and held in trust by Servicer for the payment of any
accrued and unpaid Aggregate Unpaids or for a Reinvestment as provided in this
Section
2.2.  If at any time any Collections and/or Deemed Collections
are received by Servicer prior to the Amortization Date, (i) Servicer shall set
aside the Termination Percentage (hereinafter defined) of Collections evidenced
by the Purchaser Interests of each Terminating Committed Purchaser and (ii)
Seller hereby requests and the Purchasers (other than any Terminating Committed
Purchasers) hereby agree to make, simultaneously with such receipt, a
reinvestment (each a “Reinvestment”) with
that portion of the balance of each and every Collection and Deemed Collection
received by Servicer that is part of any Purchaser Interest (other than any
Purchaser Interests of Terminating Committed Purchasers), 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, Servicer shall
remit to the account of, or designated by, each Funding Agent the relevant
portion of the amounts set aside during the preceding Settlement Period that
have not been subject to a Reinvestment and apply such amounts (if not
previously paid in accordance with Section 2.1) first, to reduce the
relevant unpaid Obligations and second, to reduce the
Capital of all Purchaser Interests of Terminating Committed Purchasers in the
relevant Conduit Group, applied ratably to each Terminating Committed Purchaser
according to its respective Termination Percentage.  If such Capital
and Obligations shall be reduced to zero with respect to the Purchasers in a
Conduit Group, any additional Collections received by Servicer (i) if
applicable, shall be remitted to an account designated by the relevant Funding
Agent no later than 12:00 p.m. (New York time) to the extent required to fund
such Conduit Group’s Reduction Pro Rata Share of any Aggregate Reduction on such
Settlement Date and (ii) any balance remaining thereafter shall be remitted from
Servicer to Seller on such Settlement Date.  Each Terminating
Committed Purchaser shall be allocated a ratable portion of Collections from the
Liquidity Termination Date that such Terminating Committed Purchaser did not
consent to extend (as to such Terminating Committed Purchaser, the “Termination Date”)
until such Terminating Financing Institution’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 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, Servicer shall set aside and hold in trust, for
the holder of each Purchaser Interest, all Collections received on such day and
an additional amount, from Seller’s assets, for the payment of any accrued and
unpaid Obligations owed by Seller and not previously paid by Seller in
accordance with Section
2.1.  On and after the Amortization Date, Servicer shall, at
any time upon the request from time to time by (or pursuant to standing
instructions from) any Funding Agent (i) remit to an account designated by such
Funding Agent the relevant portion of the amounts set aside pursuant to the
preceding sentence, and (ii) apply such relevant amounts to reduce the Capital
associated with each such Purchaser Interest held by a Purchaser in the relevant
Conduit Group and any other relevant Aggregate Unpaids.

     

    Section
2.4 Application of
Collections

     

        If there shall be
insufficient funds on deposit for Servicer to distribute funds in payment in
full of the aforementioned amounts pursuant to Section 2.2 or 2.3 (as applicable),
Servicer shall distribute such funds:

     

    first, to the payment
of 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
Servicer,

     

    second, to the
reimbursement of the Agent’s costs of collection and enforcement of this
Agreement,

     

    third, for the
ratable payment of all other unpaid Obligations , provided that to the
extent such Obligations relate to the payment of Servicer costs and expenses,
including the Servicing Fee, when Seller or one of its Affiliates is acting as
Servicer, such costs and expenses will not be paid until after the payment in
full of all other Obligations,

     

    fourth, (to the
extent applicable) to the ratable reduction of the Aggregate Capital (without
regard to any Termination Percentage) and

     

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

     

     

    Collections applied
to the payment of Aggregate Unpaids shall be distributed in accordance with the
aforementioned provisions, and, giving effect to each of the priorities set
forth in Section
2.4 above, shall be shared ratably (within each priority) among the Agent
and the Purchasers in accordance with the amount of such Aggregate Unpaids owing
to each of them in respect of each such priority.

     

    Section
2.5 Payment
Recission

     

        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 the relevant Funding Agent (for application to the
Person or Persons who suffered such recission, return or refund) the full amount
thereof, plus the related Default Fee from the date of any such recission,
return or refunding.

     

    Section
2.6 Maximum Purchaser
Interests

     

        Seller shall ensure
that the Purchaser Interests of the Purchasers shall at no time exceed in the
aggregate 100%.  If the aggregate of the Purchaser Interests of the
Purchasers exceeds 100%, Seller shall pay to each Funding Agent within three (3)
Business Days an amount to be applied to reduce its Conduit Group’s Reduction
Pro Rata Shares of the Aggregate Capital, such that after giving effect to such
payment the aggregate of the Purchaser Interests equals or is less than
100%.

     

    Section
2.7 Clean Up
Call

     

        In addition to
Seller’s rights pursuant to Section 1.3, Seller
shall have the right (after providing written notice to the Funding Agents (with
a copy thereof to the Agent) in accordance with the Required Notice Period), at
any time following the reduction of the Aggregate Capital to a level that is
less than 100.0% of the original Purchase Limit, to repurchase from the
Purchasers all, but not less than all, of the then outstanding Purchaser
Interests.  The 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 to the Funding Agents.  Such repurchase
shall be without representation, warranty or recourse of any kind by, on the
part of, or against any Purchaser, any Funding Agent or the Agent.

    Section
3.1 CP Costs

     

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

     

    Section
3.2 CP Costs
Payments

     

        On each Settlement
Date, Seller shall pay to each Funding Agent (for the benefit of the Conduit(s)
in the relevant Conduit Group) an aggregate amount in each case equal to all
accrued and unpaid CP Costs in respect of the Capital associated with all
Purchaser Interests of the relevant Conduit(s) in such Conduit Group for the
immediately preceding Accrual Period in accordance with Article
II.

     

    Section
3.3 Calculation of CP
Costs

     

        On the tenth calendar
day of each month or, if such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding
Business Day, each Funding Agent shall calculate the aggregate amount of the
relevant CP Costs for the applicable Accrual Period and shall notify Seller of
such aggregate amount.

Purchaser
Funding

     

        Each Committed
Purchaser Interest shall accrue Yield for each day during its Tranche Period at
either the LIBO Rate or the Prime Rate in accordance with the terms and
conditions hereof.  Until Seller gives notice to the Agent of another
Discount Rate in accordance with Section 4.4, the
initial Discount Rate for any Committed Purchaser Interest shall be the Prime
Rate.  If any Funding Source acquires by assignment from a Conduit any
Purchaser Interest pursuant to any Funding Agreement, each Purchaser Interest so
assigned shall each be deemed to have a new Tranche Period commencing on the
date of any such assignment and shall accrue Yield for each day during its
Tranche Period at either the LIBO Rate or the Prime Rate in accordance with the
terms and conditions hereof as if each such Purchaser Interest was held by a
Committed Purchaser, and with respect to each such Purchaser Interest, the
assignee thereof shall be deemed to be a Committed Purchaser solely for the
purposes of Sections
4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4 and 4.5.

     

    Section
4.2 Yield
Payments

     

        On the Settlement
Date for each Committed Purchaser Interest , Seller shall pay to each Funding
Agent (for the benefit of the Committed Purchasers in the relevant Conduit
Group) an aggregate amount equal to the accrued and unpaid Yield for the entire
Tranche Period of each such Purchaser Interest held by a Purchaser in such
Conduit Group in accordance with Article
II.

     

    Section
4.3 Selection and Continuation
of Tranche Periods

     

     

    (a) With consultation
from (and approval by) the relevant Funding Agent, Seller shall from time to
time request Tranche Periods for the Committed Purchaser Interests in a Conduit
Group, provided that, if at any time the Committed Purchasers shall have a
Purchaser Interest, Seller shall always request Tranche Periods such that at
least one Tranche Period shall end on the date specified in clause (A) of the
definition of Settlement Date.

     

    (b) Seller or the
relevant Funding 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
Purchaser Interest, may, effective on the last day of the Terminating
Tranche:  (i) divide any such Purchaser Interest into multiple
Purchaser Interests, (ii) combine any such Purchaser Interest with one or more
other Purchaser Interests that have a Terminating Tranche ending on the same day
as such Terminating Tranche or (iii) combine any such Purchaser Interest with a
new Purchaser Interests to be purchased on the day such Terminating Tranche
ends, provided,
that in no event may a Purchaser Interest of a Conduit be combined with a
Committed Purchaser Interest or of another Conduit, and in no event may a
Committed Purchaser Interest be combined with a Purchaser Interest of a
Purchaser in a different Conduit Group.

     

    Section
4.4 Committed
Purchaser
Discount
Rates

     

        Seller may select the
LIBO Rate or the Prime Rate for each Committed Purchaser
Interest.  Seller shall by 12:00 p.m. (New York 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 is being requested as a new
Discount Rate, give the relevant Funding Agent irrevocable notice of the new
Discount Rate for the Purchaser Interest associated with such Terminating
Tranche.  Until Seller gives notice to the relevant Funding Agent of
another Discount Rate, the initial Discount Rate for any Purchaser Interest
transferred to the Committed Purchasers pursuant to the terms and conditions
hereof (or assigned or transferred to any Funding Source or to any other Person)
shall be the Prime Rate.

     

    Section
4.5 Suspension of the LIBO
Rate

     

                   (a)  If any
Committed Purchaser notifies the relevant Funding Agent and the Agent that it
has determined that funding its Pro Rata Share of the Committed Purchaser
Interest at a LIBO Rate would violate any applicable law, rule, regulation or
directive of any governmental or regulatory authority, whether or not having the
force of law, or that (i) deposits of a type and maturity appropriate to match
fund its Purchaser Interests at such LIBO Rate are not available or (ii) such
LIBO Rate does not accurately reflect the cost of acquiring or maintaining a
Purchaser Interest at such LIBO Rate, then the relevant Funding Agent shall
suspend the availability of such LIBO Rate and require Seller to select the
Prime Rate for any Purchaser Interest accruing Yield at such LIBO
Rate.

     

    (b) If less than all of
the Committed Purchasers give a notice to the relevant Funding Agent pursuant to
Section 4.5(a),
each Committed Purchaser which gave such a notice shall be obliged, at the
request of Seller, a Conduit in the same Conduit Group or the Agent, to assign
all of its rights and obligations hereunder to (i) another Committed
Purchaser in the same Conduit Group or (ii) another funding entity
nominated by Seller or the 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 the same Conduit 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 the same Conduit Group, and
(ii) the replacement Committed Purchaser otherwise satisfies the requirements of
Section
12.1(b).

     

     

    Section
4.6 Extension of Liquidity
Termination Date.

     

    (a) Seller may request one or more 364-day
extensions of the Liquidity Termination Date then in effect by giving written
notice of such request to the Agent (each such notice an “Extension Notice”) at
least 60 days prior to the Liquidity Termination Date then in
effect.  After the Agent’s receipt of any Extension Notice, the Agent
shall promptly advise each Committed Purchaser of such Extension
Notice.  Each Committed Purchaser may, in its sole discretion, by a
revocable notice (a “Consent Notice”)
given to the Agent on or prior to the 30th day prior to the Liquidity
Termination Date then in effect (such period from the date of the Extension
Notice to such 30th day being referred to herein as the “Consent Period”),
consent to such extension of such Liquidity Termination Date; provided, however, that, except
as provided in Section
4.6(b), such extension shall not be effective with respect to any of the
Committed Purchasers if any one or more Committed Purchasers:  (i)
notifies the Agent during the Consent Period that such Committed Purchaser
either does not wish to consent to such extension or wishes to revoke its prior
Consent Notice or (ii) fails to respond to the Agent within the Consent Period
(each Committed Purchaser that does not wish to consent to such extension or
wishes to revoke its prior Consent Notice or fails to respond to the Agent
within the Consent Period is herein referred to as a “Non-Renewing Committed
Purchaser”).  If none of the events described in the foregoing
clauses (i) or (ii) occurs during the Consent Period and all Consent Notices
have been received, then, the Liquidity Termination Date shall be irrevocably
extended until the date that is 364 days after the Liquidity Termination Date
then in effect.  The Agent shall promptly notify Seller of any Consent
Notice or other notice received by the Agent pursuant to this Section
4.6(a).

     

    (b) Upon receipt of notice from the Agent pursuant
to Section
4.6(a) of any Non-Renewing Committed Purchaser or that the Liquidity
Termination Date has not been extended, one or more of the Committed Purchasers
(including any Non-Renewing Committed Purchaser) may proffer to the Agent and
each Funding Agent the names of one or more institutions meeting the criteria
set forth in Section
12.1(b)(i) that are willing to accept assignments of and assume the
rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other applicable Transaction
Documents of the Non-Renewing Committed Purchaser.  Provided the
proffered name(s) are acceptable to the Agent and each Funding Agent, the Agent
shall notify the remaining Committed Purchasers of such fact, and the then
existing Liquidity Termination Date shall be extended for an additional 364 days
upon satisfaction of the conditions for an assignment in accordance with Section 12.1 and the
Commitment of each Non-Renewing Committed Purchaser shall be reduced to
zero.  If the rights and obligations under this Agreement and the
other applicable Transaction Documents of each Non-Renewing Committed Purchaser
are not assigned as contemplated by this Section 4.6(b) (each such
Non-Renewing Committed Purchaser whose rights and obligations under this
Agreement and the other applicable Transaction Documents are not so assigned is
herein referred to as a “Terminating Committed
Purchaser”) and at least one Committed Purchaser is not a Non-Renewing
Committed Purchaser, the then existing Liquidity Termination Date shall be
extended for an additional 364 days; provided, however, that (i)
each of the Purchase Limit and the relevant Group Purchase Limit shall be
reduced on the Liquidity Termination Date that such Terminating Committed
Purchaser did not consent to extend by an aggregate amount equal to the
Terminating Commitment Availability as of such date of each Terminating
Committed Purchaser and shall thereafter continue to be reduced by amounts equal
to any reduction in the Capital of any Terminating Committed Purchaser (after
application of Collections pursuant to Sections 2.2 and
2.3) and (ii)
the Commitment of each Terminating Committed Purchaser shall be reduced to zero
on the Termination Date applicable to such Terminating Committed
Purchaser.  Upon reduction to zero of the Capital of all of 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”; 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.

     

    (c) Any requested extension of the Liquidity
Termination Date may be approved or disapproved by a Committed Purchaser in its
sole discretion.  In the event that the Commitments are not extended
in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.6, the
Commitment of each Committed Purchaser shall be reduced to zero on the Liquidity
Termination Date.  Upon reduction to zero of the Commitment of a
Committed Purchaser and upon reduction to zero of the Capital of all of the
Committed Purchaser Interests all rights and obligations of such Committed
Purchaser hereunder shall be terminated and such Committed Purchaser shall no
longer be a “Committed Purchaser”; provided, however, that the
provisions of Article
X shall continue in effect for its benefit with respect to Purchaser
Interests held by such Committed Purchaser prior to its termination as a
Committed Purchaser.

     

     

    ARTICLE V

    REPRESENTATIONS AND
WARRANTIES

     

    Section
5.1 Representations and
Warranties of the Seller
Parties

     

        Each Seller Party
hereby represents and warrants to the Agent, the Funding 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 its state of
incorporation.  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.  Such Seller Party is not in default with respect to any order
of any court, arbitrator or governmental body, which default, individually or in
the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.

     

    (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 Agent 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 Agent 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 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 Agent for the benefit of the relevant Purchaser or Purchasers (and the 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 Agent’s (on behalf of the Purchasers) ownership or
security interest in the Receivables, the Related Security and the
Collections.

     

    (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 Records are located at the address(es) listed on Exhibit III or such
other locations of which the 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.  Such Seller Party’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 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, 1999, 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.  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.

     

    (o) Ownership of
Seller.  Originator owns, directly or indirectly, 100% of the
issued and outstanding capital stock of Seller, free and clear of any Adverse
Claim.  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 an Investment
Company.  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 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 in all
material respects with the Credit and Collection Policy with regard to each
Receivable and the related Contract, and has not made any change to such Credit
and Collection Policy, except such material change as to which the Agent has
been notified in accordance with Section
7.1(a)(vii).

     

    (s) Payments to
Originator and
Original Sellers.  With respect to each Receivable transferred
to Seller under the Receivables Sale Agreement, Seller has given reasonably
equivalent value to Originator in consideration therefor and such transfer was
not made for or on account of an antecedent debt.  No transfer by
Originator of any Receivable under the 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.  With respect to each Receivable transferred to Originator
under the Transfer Agreement, Originator has given reasonably equivalent value
to the applicable Original Seller in consideration therefor and such transfer
was not made for or on account of an antecedent debt.  No transfer by
any Original Seller of any Receivable under the Transfer 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
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 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 the Agent and the Conduit(s) in the
related Conduit Group 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 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 or imposition of any Adverse
Claim on its assets.  This Agreement has been duly authorized,
executed and delivered by such Committed Purchaser.

     

    (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 Committed Purchaser enforceable against such
Committed Purchaser 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 such enforcement is sought in a
proceeding in equity or at law).

for the benefit of the Purchasers in their respective Conduit Groups an
aggregate amount equal to the Collections prior to the Amortization Date that

corporate entity and that its assets will be available first and foremost to
satisfy the claims of the creditors of Seller;

     

     

    (J) except as herein
specifically otherwise provided, maintain the funds or other assets of Seller
separate from, and not commingled with, those of Originator, any Original Seller

or substantially all of its assets (whether now owned or hereafter acquired) to,
or acquire all or substantially all of the assets of, any Person, nor at any
time create, have, acquire, maintain or hold any interest in any
Subsidiary.

     

     

    (P) maintain at all
times the Required Capital Amount (as defined in the Receivables Sale Agreement)

8.1(a).  Any Collections or other amounts due to the Agent or
Purchasers hereunder held by any such delegate shall, for the purposes of this
Agreement, be treated as held by Servicer in trust for the holders of the
Purchaser Interests.  Each agreement by which Servicer delegates any
of its duties or responsibilities to any other Person (including, without
limitation, Seller) shall state that if at any time the Agent shall designate as
Servicer any Person other than such delegating Servicer, all duties and
responsibilities theretofore delegated by such Servicer to such Person may, at
the discretion of the Agent, be terminated forthwith on notice given by the
Agent to such delegating Servicer and such Person.  If Servicer shall
delegate any duties or responsibilities to Seller, Seller shall not be permitted
to further delegate to any other Person any of such duties or
responsibilities.

     

    (c) Notwithstanding the
foregoing subsection (b), (i) Servicer shall be and remain primarily liable to
the Agent and the Purchasers for the full and prompt performance of all duties
and responsibilities of Servicer hereunder and (ii) the Agent and the Purchasers
shall be entitled to deal exclusively with Servicer in matters relating to the
discharge by Servicer of its duties and responsibilities
hereunder.  The Agent and the Purchasers shall not be required to give
notice, demand or other communication to any Person other than Servicer in order
for communication to Servicer and its sub-servicer or other delegate with
respect thereto to be accomplished.  Servicer shall be responsible for
providing any sub-servicer or other delegate of Servicer with any notice given
to Servicer under this Agreement.

     

    Section
8.2 Duties of
Servicer

     

                   (a)  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) Servicer will
instruct all Obligors to pay all Collections directly to a Lock-Box or
Collection Account.  Servicer shall effect a Collection Account
Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit VI with each
bank maintaining 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 Servicer, to not constitute Collections or
other proceeds of the Receivables or the Related Security, Servicer shall
promptly remit such items to the Person identified to it as being the owner of
such remittances.  From and after the date the Agent delivers to any
Collection Bank a Collection Notice pursuant to Section 8.3, the
Agent may request that Servicer, and Servicer thereupon promptly shall instruct
all Obligors with respect to the Receivables, to remit all payments thereon to a
new depositary account specified by the Agent and, at all times thereafter,
Seller and Servicer shall not deposit or otherwise credit, and shall not permit
any other Person to deposit or otherwise credit to such new depositary account
any cash or payment item other than Collections.

     

    (c) Servicer shall
administer the Collections in accordance with the procedures described herein
and in Article
II.  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.  Servicer shall, upon the request of the Agent, segregate,
in a manner acceptable to the Agent, all cash, checks and other instruments
received by it from time to time constituting Collections from the general funds
of Servicer or Seller prior to the remittance thereof in accordance with Article
II.  If Servicer shall be required to segregate Collections
pursuant to the preceding sentence, Servicer shall segregate and deposit with a
bank designated by the Agent such allocable share of Collections of Receivables
set aside for the Purchasers on the first Business Day following receipt by
Servicer of such Collections, duly endorsed or with duly executed instruments of
transfer.

     

    (d) 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 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 Agent
or the Purchasers under this Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein, the Agent shall have the absolute and unlimited
right to direct Servicer to commence or settle any legal action with respect to
any Receivable or to foreclose upon or repossess any Related
Security.

     

    (e) 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 Agent at any time following a Potential
Amortization Event, deliver or make available to the Agent all such Records, at
a place selected by the Agent.  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 and
belonging to Seller.  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 Originator, any Original
Seller or Seller shall, except as otherwise specified by such Obligor or
otherwise required by contract or law or unless otherwise permitted by the
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 Agent is
authorized, at any time during the continuance of a Potential Amortization
Event, to date and to deliver to the Collection Banks the Collection
Notices.  Seller hereby transfers to the Agent for the benefit of the
Purchasers, effective when the 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 Agent, and agrees that the Agent shall be entitled to, following
the delivery of the Collection Notices, (i) endorse Seller’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 Agent
rather than Seller.

     

    Section
8.4 Responsibilities of
Seller

     

        Anything herein to
the contrary notwithstanding, the exercise by the Agent and the Purchasers of
their rights hereunder shall not release Servicer, Originator, any Original
Seller 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 Reports

     

        Servicer shall
prepare and forward to the Agent and each Funding Agent (i) on the tenth day of
each month and at such times as the Agent shall request, a Monthly Report and
(ii) at such times as the Agent shall request, a listing by Obligor of all
Receivables together with an aging of such Receivables and (iii) on the
twenty-second day of each month and at such times as the Agent shall request, an
Interim Report.

     

    Section
8.6 Servicing
Fees

     

        In consideration of
Energizer Battery, Inc.’s agreement to act as Servicer hereunder, the Purchasers
hereby agree that, so long as Energizer Battery, Inc. shall continue to perform
as Servicer hereunder, Seller shall pay over to Energizer Battery, Inc., as
compensation for its servicing activities, a fee (the “Servicing Fee”) on
the first calendar day of each month, in arrears for the immediately preceding
month, at such rate as Energizer Battery, Inc. and Seller shall agree upon from
time to time on fair and reasonable basis and no less favorable to Energizer
Battery, Inc. or Seller than a rate Energizer Battery, Inc. or Seller could
obtain in an arm’s-length transaction for servicing with a Person other than
Energizer Battery, Inc. or Seller.

consecutive days or (iii) any Seller Party, any Subsidiary of Seller, Provider

    (i) The “Termination

Transfer Agreement or Originator or any Original Seller shall for any reason
cease to transfer, or cease to have the legal capacity to transfer, or otherwise
be incapable of transferring Receivables to Seller under the Receivables Sale

    Section

        Upon the occurrence
and during the continuation of an Amortization Event, the Agent may, or upon the
direction of any Funding Agent on behalf of the Committed Purchasers in its
Conduit Groups shall, take any of the following actions: (i) replace the
Person then acting as Servicer, (ii) declare the Amortization Date to have
occurred, whereupon the Amortization Date shall forthwith occur, without demand,

    ARTICLE X

    INDEMNIFICATION

     

    Section
10.1 Indemnities by the Seller
Parties

     

        Without limiting any
other rights that the Agent or any Purchaser may have hereunder or under
applicable law, (A) Seller hereby agrees to indemnify (and pay upon demand to)
the Agent, each Funding Agent, each Funding Source and each Purchaser and their
respective assigns, officers, directors, agents and employees (each an “Indemnified Party”)
from and against any and all damages, losses, claims, taxes, liabilities, costs,
expenses and for all other amounts payable, including reasonable attorneys’ fees
(which attorneys may be employees of the Agent, such Funding Agent, such Funding
Source 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) 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 Servicer’s activities as
Servicer hereunder excluding, however, in all of the foregoing instances under
the preceding clauses (A) and (B):

     

    (i) 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;

     

    (ii) 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

     

    (iii) 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
characterization for income tax purposes of the acquisition by the Purchasers of
Purchaser Interests as a loan or loans by the Purchasers to Seller secured by
the Receivables, the Related Security, the Collection Accounts and the
Collections;

     

    provided, however, that nothing
contained in this sentence shall limit the liability of any Seller Party or
limit the recourse of the Purchasers to any Seller Party for amounts otherwise
specifically provided to be paid by such Seller Party under the terms of this
Agreement.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing
indemnification, Seller shall indemnify each Indemnified Party for Indemnified
Amounts (including, without limitation, losses in respect of uncollectible
receivables, regardless of whether reimbursement therefor would constitute
recourse to Seller or Servicer) relating to or resulting from:

     

    (i) any representation
or warranty made by any Seller Party, Provider, Originator, or any Original
Seller (or any officers of any such Person) under or in connection with this
Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any other information or report
delivered by any such Person pursuant hereto or thereto, which shall have been
false or incorrect when made or deemed made;

     

    (ii) the failure by
Seller, Servicer, Provider, Originator, or any Original Seller to comply with
any applicable law, rule or regulation with respect to any Receivable or
Contract related thereto, or the nonconformity of any Receivable or Contract
included therein with any such applicable law, rule or regulation or any failure
of Originator or any Original Seller to keep or perform any of its obligations,
express or implied, with respect to any Contract;

     

    (iii) any failure of
Seller, Servicer, Provider, Originator or any Original Seller to perform its
duties, covenants or other obligations in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement or any other Transaction Document;

     

    (iv) any products
liability, personal injury or damage suit, or other similar claim arising 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;

     

    (vii) any investigation,
litigation or proceeding related to or arising from this Agreement or any other
Transaction Document, the transactions contemplated hereby, the use of the
proceeds of an Incremental Purchase or a Reinvestment, the ownership of the
Purchaser Interests or any other investigation, litigation or proceeding
relating to Seller, Servicer, Provider, Originator or any Original Seller in
which any Indemnified Party becomes involved as a result of any of the
transactions contemplated hereby;

     

    (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 Originator, free and clear of any Adverse Claim (other than as created
hereunder); or any failure of Seller to give reasonably equivalent value to
Originator under the Receivables Sale Agreement in consideration of the transfer
by 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 Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers, or to
transfer to the 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 (except as created by the
Transaction Documents);

     

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

     

    (xiii) the failure to have
filed, or any delay in filing, financing statements or other similar instruments
or documents under the UCC of any applicable jurisdiction or other applicable
laws with respect to any Receivable, the Related Security and Collections with
respect thereto, and the proceeds of any thereof, whether at the time of any
Incremental Purchase or Reinvestment or at any subsequent time;

     

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

     

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

     

    (xvi) 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 April 4,
2000, 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), 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 Funding Source to any charge or withholding on or with
respect to any Funding Agreement or a Funding Source’s obligations under a
Funding Agreement, or on or with respect to the Receivables, or changes the
basis of taxation of payments to any Funding Source of any amounts payable under
any Funding 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 Funding 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 Funding Agreement, or to reduce the rate of return on a
Funding Source’s capital as a consequence of its obligations under a Funding
Agreement, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by a
Funding Source under a Funding Agreement or to require any payment calculated by
reference to the amount of interests or loans held or interest received by it,
then, upon demand by the Agent, Seller shall pay to the relevant Funding Agent,
for the benefit of the relevant Funding Source with respect to such Funding
Agent’s Conduit Group, such amounts charged to such Funding Source or such
amounts to otherwise compensate such Funding Source for such increased cost or
such reduction.  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
Company or Seller with the assets and liabilities of the Agent, any Committed
Purchaser or any other Funding Source, such event shall constitute a
circumstance on which such Funding Source may base a claim for reimbursement
under this Section.

     

    Section
10.3 Other Costs and
Expenses

     

        Seller shall pay to
the Agent, the Funding Agents and each Conduit on demand all reasonable
out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection with the preparation, execution,
delivery and administration of this Agreement, the transactions contemplated
hereby and the other documents to be delivered hereunder, including without
limitation, the cost of each Conduit’s auditors auditing the books, records and
procedures of Seller, reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of legal
counsel for the Conduits, the Funding Agents and the Agent (which such counsel
may be employees of any Conduit, a Funding Agent or the Agent) with respect
thereto and with respect to advising the Conduits, the Funding Agents and the
Agent as to their respective rights and remedies under this
Agreement.  Seller shall pay to the Agent (in the case of costs and
expenses incurred by the Agent) or the relevant Funding Agent (in the case of
costs and expenses incurred by the Purchasers in the related Conduit Group) on
demand any and all costs and expenses of the Agent and the Purchasers, if any,
including reasonable counsel fees and expenses 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 shall reimburse any Conduit on demand for all other
costs and expenses incurred by such Conduit (“Other Costs”),
including, without limitation, the cost of auditing such Conduit’s books by
certified public accountants, the cost of rating its Commercial Paper by
independent financial rating agencies, and the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket
expenses of counsel for such Conduit or any counsel for any shareholder of such
Conduit with respect to advising such Conduit or such shareholder as to matters
relating to such Conduit’s operations.  For the avoidance of any
doubt, Other Costs shall include costs and expenses in connection with any audit
performed by Protiviti Inc., including the audit they performed in February and
March 2009.

     

    Section
10.4 Allocations

     

        Each Conduit shall
allocate the liability for Other Costs among Seller and other Persons with whom
Conduit has entered into agreements to purchase interests in receivables (“Other
Sellers”).  If any Other Costs are attributable to Seller and
not attributable to any Other Seller, Seller shall be solely liable for such
Other Costs.  However, if Other Costs are attributable to Other
Sellers and not attributable to Seller, such Other Sellers shall be solely
liable for such Other Costs.  All allocations to be made pursuant to
the foregoing provisions of this Article X shall be made by the relevant Conduit
in its sole discretion on a reasonable basis and shall be binding on Seller and
Servicer.

     

     

    ARTICLE XI

    THE
AGENT

     

    Section
11.1 Authorization and
Action

     

        Each Purchaser hereby
designates and appoints Mizuho Corporate Bank, Ltd. to act as its agent
hereunder and under each other Transaction Document, and authorizes the Agent to
take such actions as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are
delegated to the Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents together with such powers as are reasonably incidental
thereto.  The Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities,
except those expressly set forth herein or in any other Transaction Document, or
any fiduciary relationship with any Purchaser, and no implied covenants,
functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities on the part of
the Agent shall be read into this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or
otherwise exist for the Agent.  In performing its functions and duties
hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents, the Agent shall act solely
as agent for the Purchasers and does not assume nor shall be deemed to have
assumed any obligation or relationship of trust or agency with or for any Seller
Party, any Original Seller or any of such Seller Party’s or Original Seller’s
successors or assigns.  The Agent shall not be required to take any
action that exposes the Agent to personal liability or that is contrary to this
Agreement, any other Transaction Document or applicable law.  The
appointment and authority of the Agent hereunder shall terminate upon the
indefeasible payment in full of all Aggregate Unpaids.  Each Purchaser
hereby authorizes the Agent to execute each of the Uniform Commercial Code
financing statements on behalf of such Purchaser (the terms of which shall be
binding on such Purchaser).

     

    Section
11.2 Delegation of
Duties

     

        The Agent may execute
any of its duties under this Agreement and each other Transaction Document by or
through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel
concerning all matters pertaining to such duties.  The Agent shall not
be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or
attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

     

    Section
11.3 Exculpatory
Provisions

     

        Neither the Agent nor
any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be (i) liable for any
action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in
connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (except for
its, their or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (ii)
responsible in any manner to any of the Purchasers for any recitals, statements,
representations or warranties made by any Seller Party, any Original Seller or
Provider contained in this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any
certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in,
or received under or in connection with, this Agreement, or any other
Transaction Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness,
enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement, or any other Transaction
Document or any other document furnished in connection herewith or therewith, or
for any failure of any Seller Party, any Original Seller or Provider to perform
its obligations hereunder or thereunder, or for the satisfaction of any
condition specified in Article VI, or for the perfection, priority, condition,
value or sufficiency of any collateral pledged in connection
herewith.  The Agent shall not be under any obligation to any
Purchaser to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any
of the agreements or covenants contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or
any other Transaction Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records
of the Seller Parties, the Original Sellers or Provider.  The Agent
shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Amortization Event or Potential
Amortization Event unless the Agent has received notice from Seller or a
Purchaser.

     

    Section
11.4 Reliance by
Agent

     

        The Agent shall in
all cases be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any
document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have
been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and
statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to Seller),
independent accountants and other experts selected by the Agent.  The
Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any
action under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document unless it shall
first receive such advice or concurrence of the Funding Agents on behalf of the
Committed Purchasers in their respective Conduit Groups or all of the
Purchasers, as applicable, as it deems appropriate and it shall first be
indemnified to its satisfaction by the Purchasers, provided that unless
and until the Agent shall have received such advice, the Agent may take or
refrain from taking any action, as the Agent shall deem advisable and in the
best interests of the Purchasers.  The Agent shall in all cases be
fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, in accordance with a
request of all Funding Agents on behalf of the Committed Purchasers in their
respective Conduit Groups or all of the Purchasers, as applicable, and such
request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding
upon all the Purchasers.

     

    Section
11.5 Non-Reliance on Agent and Other
Purchasers

     

        Each Purchaser
expressly acknowledges that neither the Agent, nor any of its officers,
directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates has made any
representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Agent hereafter
taken, including, without limitation, any review of the affairs of any Seller
Party, any Original Seller or Provider, shall be deemed to constitute any
representation or warranty by the Agent.  Each Purchaser represents
and warrants to the Agent that it has and will, independently and without
reliance upon the Agent or any other Purchaser 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 Seller and made its own decision to
enter into this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and all other
documents related hereto or thereto.

     

    Section
11.6 Reimbursement and
Indemnification

     

        The Committed
Purchasers agree to reimburse and indemnify the Agent and its officers,
directors, employees, representatives and agents ratably according to their Pro
Rata Shares and the Purchase Pro Rata Shares of their respective Conduit Groups,
to the extent not paid or reimbursed by the Seller Parties (i) for any amounts
for which the Agent, acting in its capacity as Agent, is entitled to
reimbursement by the Seller Parties hereunder and (ii) for any other expenses
incurred by the Agent, in its capacity as Agent and acting on behalf of the
Purchasers, in connection with the administration and enforcement of this
Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

     

    Section
11.7 Agent in its Individual
Capacity

     

        The Agent and its
Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any
kind of business with Seller or any Affiliate of Seller as though the Agent were
not the Agent hereunder.  With respect to the acquisition of Purchaser
Interests pursuant to this Agreement, the Agent shall have the same rights and
powers under this Agreement in its individual capacity as any Purchaser and may
exercise the same as though it were not the Agent, and the terms “Committed
Purchaser,” “Purchaser, “ “Committed Purchasers” and “Purchasers” shall include
the Agent in its individual capacity.

     

    Section
11.8 Successor
Agent

     

        The Agent may, upon
thirty days’ notice to Seller and the Purchasers, and the Agent will, upon the
direction of all of the Purchasers (other than the Agent, in its individual
capacity) resign as Agent.  If the Agent shall resign, then the
Funding Agents, acting on behalf of the Committed Purchasers in their respective
Conduit Groups, during such thirty-day period shall collectively appoint from
among the Purchasers a successor agent.  If for any reason no
successor Agent is collectively appointed by the Funding Agents, acting on
behalf of the Committed Purchasers in their respective Conduit Groups, during
such thirty-day period, then effective upon the termination of such thirty-day
period, the Purchasers shall perform all of the duties of the Agent hereunder
and under the other Transaction Documents and Seller and Servicer (as
applicable) shall make all payments in respect of the Aggregate Unpaids directly
to the applicable Purchasers and for all purposes shall deal directly with the
Purchasers.  After the effectiveness of any retiring Agent’s
resignation hereunder as Agent, the retiring 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 Agent under this Agreement and under the other
Transaction Documents.

    ASSIGNMENTS;
PARTICIPATIONS

     

    Section
12.1 Assignments

     

                   (a)  Seller,
Servicer, Agent and each Committed Purchaser hereby agree and consent to the
complete or partial assignment by a Conduit of all or any portion of its rights
under, interest in, title to and obligations under this Agreement to any Funding
Source or, with the consent of the Seller (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld), to any other Person, and upon such assignment, such
Conduit shall be released from its obligations so assigned.  Further,
Seller, Servicer, the Agent and each Committed Purchaser hereby agree that any
assignee of such Conduit of this Agreement or all or any of the Purchaser
Interests of such Conduit shall have all of the rights and benefits under this
Agreement as if the terms “WCMC,” “Gotham,” “Victory”, and/or “Conduit,” as
applicable, explicitly referred to such party (provided that the Purchaser
Interests of any such assignee shall accrue Yield pursuant to Section 4.1), and
no such assignment shall in any way impair the rights and benefits of such
Conduit hereunder.  Neither Seller nor Servicer 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, substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit VII hereto
(the “Assignment
Agreement”) executed by such Purchasing Committed Purchaser and such
selling Committed Purchaser.  The consent of each Conduit shall be
required prior to the effectiveness of any such assignment; and, in the event of
any such assignment by any Committed Purchaser, other than to an Affiliate of
such Committed Purchaser, another Committed Purchaser or an Affiliate of another
Committed Purchaser, the consent of Seller (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld) shall be required prior to the effectiveness of any such
assignment.  Each assignee of a Committed Purchaser must (i) have a
short-term debt rating of A-1 or better by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group
and P-1 by Moody’s Investor Service, Inc. and (ii) agree to deliver to the
Agent, promptly following any request therefor by the Agent or any Conduit, an
enforceability opinion in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent and such
Conduit.  Upon delivery of the executed Assignment Agreement to the
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 Seller, the Purchasers or the
Agent 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 Ratings Group
and P-1 by Moody’s Investor Service, Inc. (an “Affected Committed
Purchaser”), such Affected Committed Purchaser shall be obliged, at the
request of any Conduit or the 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 such 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 (or the relevant Funding Agent on behalf of 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 the Capital and Yield owing to the Committed Purchasers in the same
Conduit 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
such Committed Purchasers.

     

    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 the same Conduit Group, its obligation hereunder 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, each
Conduit, the relevant Funding Agent and the Agent 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).

                  (a)  No failure or
delay on the part of the 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

for the specific purpose for which given.

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;

     

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

     

    (iii) without the written
consent of the then Servicer, amend, modify or waive any provision of Article VIII if the
effect thereof is to affect the rights or duties of such Servicer.

foregoing, (i) without the consent of the Committed Purchasers, but with the
consent of Seller, the Agent may amend this Agreement solely to add additional
Persons as Committed Purchasers hereunder; (ii) the Agent, the Funding Agents on

Conduit may enter into amendments to modify any of the terms or provisions of
Article XI,

Purchasers, the Funding Agents and the Agent; and (iii) the Agent, acting upon
the direction of both Funding Agents on behalf of the Committed Purchasers in
their respective Conduit Groups, may waive the occurrence of an Amortization

    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

Days after the time such communication is deposited in the mail with first class
postage prepaid or  if given by any other means, when received at the

Agents to effect purchases and Tranche Period and Discount Rate selections, as
applicable, based on telephonic notices made by any Person whom the Agent or the
relevant Funding Agent, as applicable, in good faith believes to be acting on
behalf of Seller.  Seller agrees to deliver promptly to the Agent or
the relevant Funding Agent, as applicable, 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 the Agent or the
relevant Funding Agent, as applicable, the records of the Agent or such Funding
Agent, as applicable, shall govern absent manifest error.

     

    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

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 the Agent may request, to perfect, protect or more fully
evidence the Purchaser Interests, or to enable the Agent or the Purchasers to
exercise and enforce their rights and remedies hereunder.  At any time
upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Potential Amortization
Event, the Agent may, or the Agent may direct Seller or 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 Funding Agents or a designee thereof.  Seller or
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, the Agent or any Purchaser
may (but shall not be required to) perform, or cause performance of, such
obligations, and the Agent’s or such Purchaser’s reasonable costs and expenses
incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by Seller as provided in Section
10.3.  Each Seller Party irrevocably authorizes the Agent at
any time and from time to time in the sole discretion of the Agent, and appoints
the Agent as its attorney-in-fact, to act on behalf of such Seller Party (i) to
execute on behalf of Seller as debtor and to file financing statements necessary
or desirable in the 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 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.

Funding Agents, the Committed Purchasers or the Conduits by each other, (ii) by
the Agent, the Funding Agents or the Purchasers to any prospective or actual

information pursuant to any law, rule, regulation, direction, request or order
of any judicial, administrative or regulatory authority or proceedings (whether

or a Transferor.
