                                   DEFINITIONS

            SECTION 1.01 CERTAIN DEFINED TERMS. As used in this Agreement, the
following terms shall have the following meanings (such meanings to be equally
applicable to both the singular and plural forms of the terms defined):

            "ADJUSTED LIBO RATE" means, for any Settlement Period for any
Receivable Interest, an interest rate per annum equal to the rate per annum
obtained by dividing (i) the rate per annum (rounded upwards, if necessary, to
the nearest 1/100 of 1%) appearing on Dow Jones Market Service Page 3750 (or any
successor page) as the London interbank offered rate for deposits in U.S.
dollars at approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) two Business Days before the
first day of such Settlement Period for a term comparable to such Settlement
Period (PROVIDED that if for any reason such rate is not available, the term
"Adjusted LIBO Rate" shall mean, for any Settlement Period for any Receivable
Interest, the rate per annum (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest
1/100 of 1%) appearing on Reuters Screen LIBO Page as the London interbank

from time to time by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or,
if more than one such percentage shall be so applicable, the daily average of
such percentages for those days in such Settlement Period during which any such
percentage shall be so applicable) for determining the maximum reserve
requirement (including, but not limited to, any emergency, supplemental or other
marginal reserve requirement) for a member bank of the Federal Reserve System in
respect of liabilities or assets consisting of or including eurocurrency
liabilities (as that term is defined in Regulation D of the Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System as in effect from time to time) having a term
equal to such Settlement Period.

       such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day) for
       the three-week period ending on the previous Friday by the Administrative
       Agent on the basis of such rates reported by certificate of deposit
       dealers to and published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or, if
       such publication shall be suspended or terminated, on the basis of
       quotations for such rates received by the Administrative Agent from three
       New York certificate of deposit dealers of recognized standing selected
       by the Administrative Agent, by (B) a percentage equal to 100% minus the

            SECTION 2.01 FACILITY. On the terms and conditions hereinafter set
forth, any or all of the Purchasers may, in their discretion, make Purchases
from time to time during the period from the date hereof to the Facility
Termination Date. Purchases of Receivable Interests, if any, by Purchasers shall
be made by the Purchasers making such Purchases simultaneously and ratably
according to their respective Pro Rata Shares for such Purchases. Under no

                                       33
<Page>

circumstances shall any Purchaser make any Purchase if, after giving effect to
such Purchase, the aggregate outstanding Capital of Receivable Interests owned
by such Purchaser, together with the aggregate outstanding "Capital" of
"Receivable Interests" owned by the "Purchaser Group" of such Purchaser under
and as defined in the Parallel Purchase Commitment, would exceed such
Purchaser's Purchase Limit, or if, after giving effect to such Purchase to be
made by all the Purchasers, the aggregate outstanding Capital of Receivable
Interests, together with the aggregate outstanding "Capital" of "Receivable
Interests" under the Parallel Purchase Commitment, would exceed the total of the
Purchase Limits. The Owner of each Receivable Interest shall, with the proceeds
of such Receivable Interest, reinvest pursuant to SECTION 2.05 in additional
undivided percentage interests in the Pool Receivables by making an appropriate
readjustment of such Receivable Interest. Nothing in this Agreement shall be
deemed to be or construed as a commitment by any Purchaser to purchase any
Receivable Interest at any time.

            SECTION 2.02 MAKING PURCHASES. (a) Each Purchase of Receivable
Interests by the Purchasers shall be made on notice from the Seller to each
Managing Agent and the Administrative Agent, given not later than (i) in the
case of Receivable Interests for which Yield is computed by reference to the
Purchaser Rate, 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the second Business Day
before the date of such Purchase (except in the case of any Purchase of
Receivable Interests to be made on the Business Day immediately following the
New Closing Date, not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the New
Closing Date), and (ii) in the case of Receivable Interests for which Yield is
computed by reference to the Assignee Rate, 12:00 noon (New York City time) on
the fourth Business Day before the date of such Purchase. Each such notice of a
proposed Purchase of Receivable Interests shall be by telecopier to the
Administrative Agent and by electronic transmission to each Managing Agent and
the Administrative Agent, and shall specify the requested aggregate amount of
such Purchase (which shall not be less than $10,000,000) to be paid to the
Seller and the date of such Purchase (which shall be a Business Day). Each
Purchaser shall promptly notify each Managing Agent and the Administrative Agent
whether it has determined to make such Purchase. If any Purchaser so notifies
the Managing Agents and the Administrative Agent that it has determined not to
make such Purchase or will not so fund such Purchase and any or all of the other
Purchasers agree to make and so fund such Purchase in place of such Purchaser
(it being understood that each Purchaser willing to so make and fund such
Purchase shall be permitted by the other Purchasers and the Seller to do so),
the Purchasers so making such Purchase shall notify each Managing Agent and the
Administrative Agent of such agreement and their respective Pro Rata Shares for
such Purchase. The Administrative Agent shall promptly thereafter, on each day
it receives any such notice, notify the Seller of the identity of the
Purchasers, if any, which have determined to make and so fund such Purchase and
their respective Pro Rata Shares therefor. If any Purchaser shall have
determined not to make or so fund such Purchase and no other Purchasers shall
have agreed to make and so fund such Purchase in such Purchaser's place, the
Seller shall notify the Administrative Agent whether it has designated a new
Purchaser to replace such Purchaser pursuant to SECTION 2.14 and to make and so
fund such Purchase. On the date of each Purchase of Receivable Interests by the
Purchasers making such Purchase, each Purchaser making such Purchase shall, upon
satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in ARTICLE III, make
available to the Seller an amount equal to such Purchaser's Pro Rata Share of
such Purchase by deposit of such amount in same day funds to the Seller's
Account (or to such other account as the Seller may designate in writing from
time to time).

                                       34

            (b) The Managing Agent for each Purchaser holding any Receivable
Interest shall notify the Administrative Agent, (i) by 12:00 noon (New York City
time) on the third calendar day after the last day of each Settlement Period for
such Receivable Interest for which the Yield for such Settlement Period shall be
determined with reference to the Purchaser Rate, of (A) the Purchaser Rate for
such Settlement Period for such Receivable Interest and (B) the amount of Yield
accrued for such Receivable Interest during or with respect to such Settlement
Period, and (ii) by 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the third calendar day
after the last day of each Settlement Period for such Receivable Interest, of
the amount of fees accrued under the applicable Fee Letter during such
Settlement Period. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Seller and the
Servicer, by 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the fifth calendar day after the
last day of each Settlement Period for each Receivable Interest, of the
respective amounts of Yield and fees notified by each Managing Agent to the
Administrative Agent pursuant to the immediate preceding sentence. The
Administrative Agent shall, on the first day of each Settlement Period for such
Receivable Interest for which the Yield for such Settlement Period shall be
determined with reference to the Assignee Rate, notify the Seller, the Servicer
and each other Managing Agent of the Assignee Rate for such Settlement Period.

            (c) Each notice of a Purchase delivered pursuant to SECTION 2.02(A)
shall be irrevocable and binding on the Seller. The Seller shall indemnify each
Managing Agent and each Purchaser against any actual loss or expense incurred by
such Managing Agent and/or such Purchaser as a result of any failure to fulfill
on or before the date of any Purchase by such Purchaser (as to which notice has
been given pursuant to SECTION 2.02(A)) the applicable conditions set forth in
ARTICLE III, including, without limitation, any actual loss or expense incurred
by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired
by such Managing Agent and/or such Purchaser to fund such Purchaser's ratable
portion of such Purchase when such Purchase, as a result of such failure, is not
made on such date.

            (d) Either the Seller or the Managing Agent for any Owner, upon
notice to and consent by the other received at least three Business Days prior
to the end of any Settlement Period (the "TERMINATING SETTLEMENT PERIOD") for
any Receivable Interest of such Owner, may, effective on the last day of the
Terminating Settlement Period: (i) divide any such Receivable Interest into
multiple Receivable Interests, (ii) combine any such Receivable Interest with
one or more other Receivable Interests that have a Settlement Period ending on
the same day as such Terminating Settlement Period or (iii) combine any such
Receivable Interest with a new Receivable Interest to be purchased by such Owner
on the day such Terminating Settlement Period ends, PROVIDED, that in no event
may a Receivable Interest of any Owner be combined with a Receivable Interest of
any other Owner.

            SECTION 2.03 TERMINATION OR REDUCTION OF THE PURCHASE LIMITS. (A)
OPTIONAL. The Seller may, upon at least five Business Days' notice to the
Administrative Agent and each Managing Agent, terminate in whole or reduce in
part, and ratably for each Purchaser, the unused portion of the aggregate
Purchase Limits; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that for purposes of this SECTION 2.03(A),
the unused portion of the aggregate Purchase Limits shall be computed as the
excess of (i) the aggregate Purchase Limits immediately prior to giving effect
to such termination or reduction over (ii) the sum of (A) the aggregate Capital
of Receivable Interests outstanding at the time of such computation and (B) the
aggregate "Capital" of "Receivable Interests" outstanding under the Parallel
Purchase Commitment at such time; PROVIDED FURTHER, that each

                                       35
<Page>

partial reduction of the unused portion of the aggregate Purchase Limits shall
be in an amount equal to $10,000,000 or integral multiples of $1,000,000 in
excess thereof.

            (b) MANDATORY. On each day on which the Seller shall, pursuant to
SECTION 2.03(A) of the Parallel Purchase Commitment, reduce in part the unused
portion of the aggregate Commitments (as defined in the Parallel Purchase
Commitment), the aggregate Purchase Limits shall automatically, and ratably for
each Purchaser, reduce by an equal amount. The aggregate Purchase Limits shall
automatically terminate in whole on any day on which the Seller shall terminate
in whole the aggregate Commitments pursuant to SECTION 2.03(A) of the Parallel
Purchase Commitment.

            SECTION 2.04 RECEIVABLE INTEREST. Each Receivable Interest shall be
initially computed as of the opening of business of the Servicer on the date of
Purchase of such Receivable Interest. Thereafter until the Termination Date,
such Receivable Interest shall be automatically recomputed as of the close of
business of the Servicer on each day (other than a Liquidation Day). Such
Receivable Interest shall remain constant from the time as of which any such
computation or recomputation is made until the time as of which the next such
recomputation, if any, shall be made. Any Receivable Interest, as computed as of
the day immediately preceding the Termination Date, shall remain constant at all
times on and after the Termination Date. Such Receivable Interest shall become
zero at such time as the Owner of such Receivable Interest shall have received
the accrued Yield for such Receivable Interest, shall have recovered the Capital
of such Receivable Interest, and shall have received payment of the Fees and all
other amounts payable by the Seller to such Owner or its Managing Agent, and the
Servicer shall have received the accrued Servicer Fee for such Receivable
Interest. Upon any Receivable Interest becoming zero as aforesaid, the Owner
thereof and its Managing Agent and the Administrative Agent, respectively, shall
execute and deliver such documents and take such action as the Seller may
reasonably request to evidence the termination of such Owner's interest in the
remaining Pool Receivables and hereunder, including assignments to the Seller of
such Owner's interest in the remaining Pool Receivables and UCC termination
statements with respect thereto, all without recourse to, or representation or
warranty by, such Owner or its Managing Agent or the Administrative Agent, as
the case may be.

            SECTION 2.05 NON-LIQUIDATION SETTLEMENT PROCEDURES. (a) Except as
set forth in subsection (d) of this SECTION 2.05, on each Business Day (other
than a Liquidation Day or a Provisional Liquidation Day) during any Daily
Reporting Period, the Servicer shall cause all those funds on deposit in the
Lock-Box Accounts that constitute Collections of Pool Receivables to be
transferred electronically in immediately available funds to the Concentration
Account, and shall, based on the Daily Report delivered by the Servicer to each
Managing Agent and the Administrative Agent on such Business Day pursuant to
SECTION 2.07(C), at that time and in the following order:

            (i) allocate all Collections transferred to the Concentration
      Account since receipt of the last such Daily Report either as Owner
      Collections or as Seller Collections;

            (ii) for each Receivable Interest, out of such Owner Collections
      attributable to such Receivable Interest, cause the Concentration Bank to
      transfer to the Deposit

                                       36
<Page>

      Account, to be held and invested by the Administrative Agent pursuant to
      SECTION 6.06, the Cure Amount, if any, for such Receivable Interest for
      such Business Day;

            (iii) for each Receivable Interest, out of the remainder of such
      Owner Collections attributable to such Receivable Interest, set aside and
      hold in trust (in accordance with the provisions of SECTION 6.02(B)) for
      the Owner of such Receivable Interest and the Servicer an amount equal to
      the sum of (A) the Yield and Servicer Fee accrued through such Business
      Day for such Receivable Interest and not previously so set aside and (B)
      the aggregate of the Fees and any other amounts then accrued or owed
      hereunder by the Seller to such Owner or its Managing Agent and not
      previously so set aside;

            (iv) reinvest the remainder of such Owner Collections, for the
      benefit of the Owner of such Receivable Interest, by recomputation of such
      Receivable Interest pursuant to SECTION 2.04 as of the end of such
      Business Day and cause the Concentration Bank to transfer such remainder
      for account of the Seller either to the Seller's Account or to a deposit
      account of the Servicer; PROVIDED that, to the extent that any Owner shall
      be required for any reason to pay over any amount of Collections which
      shall have been previously reinvested for the account of such Owner
      pursuant to SECTION 2.04, such amount shall be deemed not to have been so
      transferred but rather to have been retained by the Seller and paid over
      for the account of such Owner and, notwithstanding any provision hereof to
      the contrary, such Owner shall have a claim for such amount; and

            (v) cause the Concentration Bank to transfer the Seller Collections
      for account of the Seller either to the Seller's Account or to a deposit
      account of the Servicer;

it being understood and agreed that if on any Business Day during any Daily
Reporting Period the Servicer shall fail to deliver the Daily Report for such
Business Day to each Managing Agent and the Administrative Agent pursuant to
SECTION 2.07(c), the Servicer shall, until such Daily Report shall be so
delivered, either hold all funds that constitute Collections of Pool Receivables
in the Concentration Account or, if and to the extent that the Servicer shall be
obligated to deposit such funds in the Deposit Account pursuant to this SECTION
2.05(A), deposit such funds in the Deposit Account.

If on any Business Day (other than a Settlement Date in respect of Capital)
during any Daily Reporting Period, the Servicer shall deliver to each Managing
Agent and the Administrative Agent, prior to 12:00 noon (New York City time) on
such Business Day, a Daily Report for such Business Day that shows any Excess
Amount in respect of the Receivable Interests on deposit in the Deposit Account
on such Business Day, the Administrative Agent shall, on such Business Day,
transfer by way of immediately available funds to the Concentration Account
funds equal to such Excess Amount.

On the Business Day that occurs two Business Days before the Settlement Date for
each Settlement Period for such Receivable Interest, the Servicer shall deposit
to the Deposit Account for the account of the Owner of such Receivable Interest
the amounts set aside in respect of such Settlement Period as described in
clause (iii) of this SECTION 2.05(a). Upon receipt of such funds by the
Administrative Agent and on such Settlement Date, the Administrative Agent shall

                                       37

distribute such funds and the Cure Deposited Amounts, if any, then held in the
Deposit Account and attributable to such Receivable Interest (i) to the Owner of
such Receivable Interest (A) in payment of the accrued Yield for such Receivable
Interest, (B) in reduction of Capital of such Receivable Interest in the amount
of the Cure Amount, if any, then in respect of such Receivable Interest, and (C)
in payment of the Fees and any other amounts then owed by the Seller hereunder
to such Owner or its Managing Agent and (ii) to the Servicer in payment of the
accrued Servicer Fee payable with respect to such Receivable Interest. If there
shall be insufficient funds on deposit for the Administrative Agent to
distribute funds in payment in full of the aforementioned amounts, the
Administrative Agent shall distribute such funds, FIRST, to the payment of the
Servicer's out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection with servicing,
administering and collecting the Pool Receivables, up to the amount of the
Servicer Fee, if WORLDCOM or one of its Affiliates is not then acting as the
Servicer, SECOND, in payment of the accrued Yield for such Receivable Interest,
THIRD, in reduction of Capital of such Receivable Interest in the amount of the
Cure Amount, if any, then in respect of such Receivable Interest, FOURTH, in
payment of the Fees and any other amounts owed by the Seller hereunder to such
Owner or its Managing Agent, FIFTH, in payment of the Servicer's out-of-pocket
costs and expenses in connection with servicing, administering and collecting
the Pool Receivables, in excess of the Servicer Fee, if WORLDCOM or one of its
Affiliates is not then acting as the Servicer, and SIXTH, in payment of the
accrued Servicer Fee payable with respect to such Receivable Interest if
WORLDCOM or one of its Affiliates is then acting as Servicer.

            (b) Except as set forth in subsection (d) of this SECTION 2.05, on
each Business Day (other than a Liquidation Day or a Provisional Liquidation
Day) during each Weekly Reporting Period, the Servicer shall cause all those
funds on deposit in the Lock-Box Accounts that constitute Collections of Pool
Receivables to be transferred electronically in immediately available funds to
the Concentration Account, and shall, based on information available to it, at
that time and in the following order:

            (i) allocate all such Collections transferred to the Concentration
      Account either as Owner Collections or as Seller Collections;

            (ii) for each Receivable Interest and subject to the PROVISO set
      forth below, out of such Owner Collections attributable to such Receivable
      Interest, set aside and hold in trust for the Owner of such Receivable
      Interest and the Servicer an amount equal to the sum of (A) the Yield and
      Servicer Fee accrued through such Business Day for such Receivable
      Interest and not previously so set aside, (B) the Cure Amount, if any, for
      such Receivable Interest for such Business Day, and (C) the aggregate of
      the Fees and any other amounts then accrued or owed hereunder by the
      Seller to such Owner or its Managing Agent and not previously so set
      aside;

            (iii) reinvest the remainder of such Owner Collections, for the
      benefit of the Owner of such Receivable Interest, by recomputation of such
      Receivable Interest pursuant to SECTION 2.04 as of the end of such
      Business Day and cause the Concentration Bank to transfer such remainder
      for account of the Seller either to the Seller's Account or to a deposit
      account of the Servicer; PROVIDED that, to the extent that any Owner shall
      be required for any reason to pay over any amount of Collections which
      shall have been previously reinvested for the account of such Owner
      pursuant to SECTION 2.04, such

                                       38
<Page>

      amount shall be deemed not to have been so transferred but rather to have
      been retained by the Seller and paid over for the account of such Owner
      and, notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, such Owner
      shall have a claim for such amount; and

            (iv) cause the Concentration Bank to transfer the Seller Collections
      for account of the Seller either to the Seller's Account or to a deposit
      account of the Servicer;

PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that on the first Business Day of each week, the Servicer
shall, based on the Weekly Report delivered by the Servicer to each Managing
Agent and the Administrative Agent on such Business Day pursuant to SECTION
2.07(D) for the immediately preceding week, for such Receivable Interest, out of
such Owner Collections referred to in clause (i) of this SUBSECTION (B)
attributable to such Receivable Interest, cause the Concentration Bank to
transfer to the Deposit Account, to be held and invested by the Administrative
Agent pursuant to SECTION 6.06, the Cure Amount, if any, for such Receivable
Interest for such Business Day, it being understood and agreed that if on the
first Business Day of any week during any Weekly Reporting Period, the Servicer
shall fail to have delivered the Weekly Report for such Business Day to each
Managing Agent and the Administrative Agent pursuant to SECTION 2.07(D), the
Servicer shall, until such Weekly Report shall be so delivered, either hold all
funds that constitute Collections of Pool Receivables in the Concentration
Account or, if and to the extent that the Servicer shall be obligated to deposit
such funds in the Deposit Account pursuant to this SECTION 2.05(B), deposit such
funds in the Deposit Account.

If, on the first Business Day (other than a Settlement Date in respect of
Capital) of any week during any Weekly Reporting Period, the Servicer shall
deliver to each Managing Agent and the Administrative Agent, prior to 12:00 noon
(New York City time) on such Business Day, a Weekly Report for such Business Day
that shows any Excess Amount in respect of the Receivable Interests on deposit
in the Deposit Account on such Business Day, the Administrative Agent shall, on
such Business Day, transfer by way of immediately available funds to the
Concentration Account funds equal to such Excess Amount.

On the Business Day that occurs two Business Days before the Settlement Date for
each Settlement Period for such Receivable Interest, the Servicer shall deposit
to the Deposit Account for the account of the Owner of such Receivable Interest
the amounts set aside in respect of such Settlement Period as described in
clause (ii) of this SECTION 2.05(B). Upon receipt of such funds by the
Administrative Agent and on such Settlement Date, the Administrative Agent shall
distribute such funds and the Cure Deposited Amounts, if any, then held in the
Deposit Account and attributable to such Receivable Interest (i) to the Owner of
such Receivable Interest (A) in payment of the accrued Yield for such Receivable
Interest, (B) in reduction of Capital of such Receivable Interest in the amount
of the Cure Amount, if any, then in respect of such Receivable Interest, and (C)
in payment of the Fees and any other amounts then owed by the Seller hereunder
to such Owner or its Managing Agent and (ii) to the Servicer in payment of the
accrued Servicer Fee payable with respect to such Receivable Interest. If there
shall be insufficient funds on deposit for the Administrative Agent to
distribute funds in payment in full of the aforementioned amounts, the
Administrative Agent shall distribute such funds, FIRST, to the payment of the
Servicer's out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection with servicing,
administering and collecting the Pool Receivables, up to the amount of the
Servicer Fee, if WORLDCOM or one of its Affiliates is not then acting as the
Servicer, SECOND, in payment of

                                       39
<Page>

the accrued Yield for such Receivable Interest, THIRD, in reduction of Capital
of such Receivable Interest in the amount of the Cure Amount, if any, then in
respect of such Receivable Interest, FOURTH, in payment of the Fees and any
other amounts owed by the Seller hereunder to such Owner or its Managing Agent,
FIFTH, in payment of the Servicer's out-of-pocket costs and expenses in
connection with servicing, administering and collecting the Pool Receivables, in
excess of the Servicer Fee, if WORLDCOM or one of its Affiliates is not then
acting as the Servicer, and SIXTH, in payment of the accrued Servicer Fee
payable with respect to such Receivable Interest if WORLDCOM or one of its
Affiliates is then acting as Servicer.

            (c) Except as set forth in subsection (d) of this SECTION 2.05, on
each Business Day (other than a Liquidation Day or a Provisional Liquidation
Day) during each Monthly Reporting Period, the Servicer shall cause all those
funds on deposit in the Lock-Box Accounts that constitute Collections of Pool
Receivables to be transferred electronically in immediately available funds to
the Concentration Account, and shall, based on information available to it, at
that time and in the following order:

            (i) allocate all such Collections transferred to the Concentration
      Account either as Owner Collections or as Seller Collections;

            (ii) for each Receivable Interest, out of such Owner Collections
      attributable to such Receivable Interest, set aside and hold in trust for
      the Owner of such Receivable Interest and the Servicer an amount equal to
      the sum of (A) the Yield and Servicer Fee accrued through such Business
      Day for such Receivable Interest and not previously so set aside, (B) the
      Cure Amount, if any, for such Receivable Interest for such Business Day,
      and (C) the aggregate of the Fees and any other amounts then accrued or
      owed hereunder by the Seller to such Owner or its Managing Agent and not
      previously so set aside;

            (iii) reinvest the remainder of such Owner Collections for the
      benefit of the Owner of such Receivable Interest, by recomputation of such
      Receivable Interest pursuant to SECTION 2.04 as of the end of such
      Business Day and cause the Concentration Bank to transfer such remainder
      for account of the Seller either to the Seller's Account or to a deposit
      account of the Servicer; PROVIDED that, to the extent that any Owner shall
      be required for any reason to pay over any amount of Collections which
      shall have been previously reinvested for the account of such Owner
      pursuant to SECTION 2.04, such amount shall be deemed not to have been so
      transferred but rather to have been retained by the Seller and paid over
      for the account of such Owner and, notwithstanding any provision hereof to
      the contrary, such Owner shall have a claim for such amount; and

            (iv) cause the Concentration Bank to transfer the Seller Collections
      for account of the Seller either to the Seller's Account or to a deposit
      account of the Servicer.

On the Settlement Date for each Settlement Period for such Receivable Interest,
the Servicer shall deposit to the Deposit Account for the account of the Owner
of such Receivable Interest the amounts set aside in respect of such Settlement
Period as described in clause (ii) of this SECTION 2.05(C). Upon receipt of such
funds by the Administrative Agent and on such Settlement Date, the
Administrative Agent shall distribute such funds (i) to the Owner of such
Receivable Interest (A) in payment of the accrued Yield for such Receivable
Interest, (B) in reduction of Capital of

                                       40
<Page>

such Receivable Interest in the amount of the Cure Amount, if any, then in
respect of such Receivable Interest, and (C) in payment of the Fees and any
other amounts then owed by the Seller hereunder to such Owner or its Managing
Agent and (ii) to the Servicer in payment of the accrued Servicer Fee payable
with respect to such Receivable Interest. If there shall be insufficient funds
on deposit for the Administrative Agent to distribute funds in payment in full
of the aforementioned amounts, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such
funds, FIRST, to the payment of the Servicer's out-of-pocket costs and expenses
in connection with servicing, administering and collecting the Pool Receivables,
up to the amount of the Servicer Fee, if WORLDCOM or one of its Affiliates is
not then acting as the Servicer, SECOND, in payment of the accrued Yield for
such Receivable Interest, THIRD, in reduction of Capital of such Receivable
Interest in the amount of the Cure Amount, if any, then in respect of such
Receivable Interest, FOURTH, in payment of the Fees and any other amounts owed
by the Seller hereunder to such Owner or its Managing Agent, FIFTH, in payment
of the Servicer's out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection with servicing,
administering and collecting the Pool Receivables, in excess of the Servicer
Fee, if WORLDCOM or one of its Affiliates is not then acting as the Servicer,
and SIXTH, in payment of the accrued Servicer Fee payable with respect to such
Receivable Interest if WORLDCOM or one of its Affiliates is then acting as
Servicer.

            (d) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, on each
Business Day (other than a Liquidation Day or a Provisional Liquidation Day) on
which a Special Event for any Purchaser shall have occurred and be continuing
during any Settlement Period for any Receivable Interest owned by such
Purchaser, (i) the Servicer shall set aside and hold in trust, and deposit to
the Deposit Account for the account of such Purchaser, all Collections of Pool
Receivables attributable to such Receivable Interest, and (ii) the
Administrative Agent shall distribute such Collections to such Purchaser and the
Servicer, in each case of clauses (i) and (ii) above as and in the manner and
order set forth in SECTION 2.06 as though the term "Owner" in SECTION 2.06
referred only to such Purchaser.

            SECTION 2.06 LIQUIDATION SETTLEMENT PROCEDURES. On each Liquidation
Day and on each Provisional Liquidation Day during each Settlement Period for
each Receivable Interest, the Servicer shall cause all those funds on deposit in
the Lock-Box Accounts that constitute Collections of Pool Receivables to be
transferred electronically in immediately available funds to the Concentration
Account, and, based on information available to it, at that time and in the
following order:

            (i) allocate all such Collections either as Owner Collections or as
      Seller Collections;

            (ii) for each Receivable Interest, out of such Owner Collections,
      cause the Concentration Bank to deposit to the Deposit Account for the
      account of the Owner of such Receivable Interest funds constituting such
      Owner Collections attributable to such Receivable Interest, but such
      deposit shall not exceed the sum of (A) the accrued Yield for each
      Receivable Interest as of such date, (B) the Capital of such Receivable
      Interest, (C) the accrued Servicer Fee payable as of such date, and (D)
      the aggregate of the Fees and any other amounts owed hereunder by the
      Seller to the Owner of such Receivable Interest or its Managing Agent;
      PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if such funds are so deposited to the Deposit
      Account on any Provisional Liquidation Day which is subsequently

                                       41
<Page>

      determined not to be a Liquidation Day, such funds shall be applied
      pursuant to SECTION 2.05 on the day of such subsequent determination; and

            (iii) cause the Concentration Bank to transfer the Seller
      Collections for account of the Seller either to the Seller's Account or to
      a deposit account of the Servicer.

Upon receipt of such funds by, and held by, the Administrative Agent, the
Administrative Agent shall, on the Settlement Date for each Settlement Period
for such Receivable Interest, distribute them (A) to the Owner of such
Receivable Interest (x) in payment of the accrued Yield for such Receivable
Interest, (y) in reduction (to zero) of the Capital of such Receivable Interest
and (z) in payment of the Fees and any other amounts owed by the Seller
hereunder to such Owner or its Managing Agent and (B) to the Servicer in payment
of accrued Servicer Fees payable with respect to such Receivable Interest. If
there shall be insufficient funds on deposit for the Administrative Agent to
distribute funds in payment in full of the aforementioned amounts, the
Administrative Agent shall distribute such funds, FIRST, to the payment of the
Servicer's reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection with
servicing, administering and collecting the Pool Receivables, including the
Servicer Fee, if WORLDCOM or one of its Affiliates is not then acting as the
Servicer, SECOND, to the reimbursement of the Administrative Agent's costs of
collection and enforcement of this Agreement, THIRD, in payment of the accrued
Yield for such Receivable Interest, FOURTH, in reduction of Capital of such
Receivable Interest, FIFTH, in payment of the Fees and any other amounts payable
to such Owner or its Managing Agent, and SIXTH, in payment of the accrued
Servicer Fee payable with respect to such Receivable Interest if WORLDCOM or one
of its Affiliates is then acting as the Servicer.

            SECTION 2.07 GENERAL SETTLEMENT PROCEDURES. (a) If on any day the
Outstanding Balance of a Pool Receivable is reduced or cancelled and such
reduction or cancellation constitutes a Dilution, the Seller shall be deemed to
have received on such day a Collection of such Receivable in the amount of such
reduction or cancellation and shall make the payment required to be made by it
in connection with such Collection on the day required by, and otherwise
pursuant to, SECTION 5.01(G). If on any day any of the representations or
warranties in SECTION 4.01(H) is no longer true with respect to any Pool
Receivable, the Seller shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection
in full of such Pool Receivable and shall make the payment required to be made
by it in connection with such Collection on the day required by, and otherwise
pursuant to, SECTION 5.01(G). Except as stated in the preceding sentences of
this SECTION 2.07 or as otherwise required by law or the underlying Contract,
all Collections received from an Obligor of any Receivable shall be applied to
Receivables then outstanding of such Obligor in the order of the age of such
Receivables, starting with the oldest such Receivable, except if payment is
designated by such Obligor for application to specific Receivables.

            (b) On or before the 25th day of each month and on the Termination
Date, the Servicer shall prepare and furnish by facsimile to the Administrative
Agent for each Owner of a Receivable Interest, and shall send by electronic
transmission to each Managing Agent, a Monthly Report, completed by the Servicer
in all respects and signed by a duly authorized officer of the Servicer,
relating to each Receivable Interest, as of the close of business of the
Servicer on the last day of the immediately preceding month. The Servicer shall,
from time to time at the reasonable request of the Administrative Agent or any
Managing Agent, furnish to the

                                       42
<Page>

Administrative Agent or such Managing Agent (promptly after any such request) a
list by Obligor of all Billed Pool Receivables, together with an analysis as to
the aging of such Billed Pool Receivables. On or prior to the day the Servicer
is required to make a deposit with respect to a Settlement Period pursuant to
SECTION 2.05 or 2.06, the Servicer will advise the Administrative Agent of each
Liquidation Day and each Provisional Liquidation Day occurring during such
Settlement Period and of the allocation of the amount of such deposit to each
outstanding Receivable Interest; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, if WORLDCOM is not the
Servicer, WORLDCOM shall advise the Servicer of the occurrence of each such
Liquidation Day and each Provisional Liquidation Day occurring during such
Settlement Period on or prior to such day.

            (c) On each Business Day during each Daily Reporting Period, by not
later than 12:00 noon (New York City time), the Servicer shall (i) prepare and
furnish by facsimile to the Administrative Agent for each Owner of a Receivable
Interest, a Daily Report, stating the information required by the form of Daily
Report attached hereto as Exhibit L and such other information as may be
specified to the Servicer from time to time by the Administrative Agent and
signed by a duly authorized officer of the Servicer, and (ii) send by electronic
transmission a copy of such Daily Report to each Managing Agent.

            (d) On or before the first Business Day of each week during each
Weekly Reporting Period, by not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time), the
Servicer shall (i) prepare and furnish by facsimile to the Administrative Agent
for each Owner of a Receivable Interest a Weekly Report, stating the information
required by the form of Weekly Report attached hereto as Exhibit M and such
other information as may be specified to the Servicer from time to time by the
Administrative Agent and signed by a duly authorized officer of the Servicer,
and (ii) send by electronic transmission a copy of such Weekly Report to each
Managing Agent.

            SECTION 2.08 PAYMENTS AND COMPUTATIONS, ETC. (a) All amounts to be
paid or deposited by the Seller or the Servicer hereunder shall be paid or
deposited in accordance with the terms hereof no later than 12:00 noon (New York
City time) on the day when due in lawful money of the United States in same day
funds to the Deposit Account. Amounts paid or deposited by the Seller or the
Servicer to the Deposit Account on any day later than 12:00 noon (New York City
time) on such day shall be deemed to be paid or deposited on the next succeeding
Business Day. The Administrative Agent shall promptly thereafter cause to be
distributed (i) like funds relating to the payment out of Collections in respect
of Capital, Yield, Servicer Fee, Fees or other amounts payable out of
Collections, to the applicable Owners (or, in the case of Fees, the applicable
Managing Agents), ratably in accordance with their respective interests and to
the Servicer in accordance with the provisions of SECTION 2.05 or 2.06, as
applicable, and (ii) like funds relating to the payment by the Seller of other
amounts payable by the Seller hereunder, to the parties hereto for whose benefit
such funds were paid (and if such funds are insufficient, such distribution
shall be made ratably in accordance with the respective amounts thereof).

            (b) The Seller shall, to the extent permitted by law, pay to the
Administrative Agent interest on all amounts not paid or deposited within 2
Business Days of the date due hereunder (except for those amounts with respect
to which Yield accrues) at the Default Rate in effect from time to time, payable
on demand, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such interest rate shall not at any time
exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. Such interest shall be for
the

                                       43
<Page>

account of, and distributed by the Administrative Agent to, the applicable
Owners ratably in accordance with their respective interests in such overdue
amount.

            (c) All computations of interest and all computations of Yield,
Liquidation Yield/Fee and fees hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of
360 days for the actual number of days (including the first but excluding the
last day) elapsed.

            (d) The Seller hereby authorizes each Owner, if and to the extent
any amount owed by the Seller to such Owner is not paid to the Administrative
Agent when due hereunder and if the Administrative Agent or such Owner shall
have notified the Seller that such amount is or will be due, to charge from time
to time against any or all of the Seller's accounts with such Owner any such
amount so due.

            (e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from
the Servicer or the Seller prior to the date on which any payment is due to the
Owners hereunder that the Servicer or the Seller, as the case may be, will not
make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Servicer
or the Seller, as the case may be, has made such payment in full to the
Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance
upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Owner on such due date an
amount equal to the amount then due such Owner. If and to the extent the
Servicer or the Seller, as the case may be, shall not have so made such payment
in full to the Administrative Agent, each Owner shall repay to the
Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Owner
together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is
distributed to such Owner until the date such Owner repays such amount to the
Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate.

            SECTION 2.09 FEES. (a) The Seller shall pay to the Administrative
Agent such fees as are set forth in the Fee Letters.

            (b) The Servicer shall be paid a fee (the "SERVICER FEE") of 1/2 of
1% per annum on the average daily amount of Capital of each Receivable Interest,
from the date of the initial Purchase hereunder until the later of the Facility
Termination Date or the date on which such Capital is reduced to zero, payable
on the Settlement Date for each Settlement Period for such Receivable Interest;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, upon three Business Days' notice to the Administrative
Agent, the Servicer (if not WORLDCOM or any Affiliate thereof) may elect to be
paid, as such fee, another percentage per annum on the average daily amount of
Capital of each such Receivable Interest, but in no event in excess of the
lesser of (i) 1% per annum on the average daily amount of such Capital, and (ii)
110% of the costs and expenses referred to in SECTION 6.02(C); and PROVIDED
FURTHER, that such fee shall be payable only from Collections pursuant to, and
subject to the priority of payment set forth in, SECTIONS 2.05 and 2.06.

            SECTION 2.10 INCREASED COSTS. If, due to either (a) a change in
Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (to the
extent any cost incurred pursuant to such regulation is not included in the
calculation of Adjusted LIBO Rate), (b) the introduction of or any change in or
in the interpretation of any law or regulation (other than any law or regulation
relating to taxes, as to which SECTION 2.12 shall govern) or (c) the compliance
with any guideline or request issued or made after the New Closing Date from any
central bank

                                       44
<Page>

or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law), there
shall be any increase in the cost to (or, in the case of Regulation D of the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, there shall be imposed a cost
on) any Indemnified Party of agreeing to make or making any Purchase or
purchasing or maintaining any Receivable Interest or any interest therein
hereunder, or, in the case of any Indemnified Party which is a Participant,
under any agreement entered into by such Participant with respect to this
Agreement, then the Seller shall from time to time, upon demand and delivery to
the Seller of the certificate referred to in the last sentence of this SECTION
2.10 by such Indemnified Party (or by the Administrative Agent for the account
of such Indemnified Party) (with a copy of such demand and certificate to the
Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such
Indemnified Party additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Indemnified
Party for such increased or imposed cost (except those costs incurred more than
360 days prior to the date of such demand, any cost or expense allocable to a
period prior to the publication or effective date of such change, introduction,
guideline or request being deemed to be incurred for purposes hereof on the
later of such publication or effective date). Each Indemnified Party hereto
agrees to use reasonable efforts promptly to notify the Seller of any event
referred to in clause (a), (b) or (c) above, PROVIDED that the failure to give
such notice shall not affect the rights of any Indemnified Party under this
SECTION 2.10. Each Indemnified Party agrees that it shall use reasonable efforts
to designate another applicable office of such Indemnified Party to hold its
interest in any Receivable Interest if the amounts payable to it under this
SECTION 2.10 would thereby be reduced and if the making, funding or maintenance
of its interest in such Receivable Interest through such other applicable office
would not otherwise adversely affect such interest or such Indemnified Party. A
certificate in reasonable detail as to the basis for and the amount of such
increased cost, submitted to the Seller and the Administrative Agent by such
Indemnified Party (or by the Administrative Agent for the account of such
Indemnified Party) shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent
manifest error.

            SECTION 2.11 INCREASED CAPITAL. If any Indemnified Party determines
that due to either the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation
of any law or regulation after the New Closing Date or the compliance with any
guideline or request issued or made after the New Closing Date from any central
bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law)
affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be
maintained by such Indemnified Party or any corporation controlling such
Indemnified Party and that the amount of such capital is increased by or based
upon the existence of such Indemnified Party's commitment, if any, to purchase
any Receivable Interest or any interest therein, or to maintain such Receivable
Interest or interest, hereunder, or, in the case of any Indemnified Party which
is a Participant, under any agreement entered into by such Participant with
respect to this Agreement, then, upon demand and delivery to the Seller of the
certificate referred to in the last sentence of this SECTION 2.11 by such
Indemnified Party (or by the Administrative Agent for the account of such
Indemnified Party) (with a copy of such demand and certificate to the
Administrative Agent) the Seller shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the
account of such Indemnified Party from time to time, as specified by such
Indemnified Party, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Indemnified
Party or such corporation in the light of such circumstances, to the extent that
such Indemnified Party reasonably determines such increase in capital to be
allocable to the existence of any such commitment (except any such increase in
capital incurred more than, or compensation attributable to the period before,
360 days prior to the date of such demand, any increase in capital allocable to,
or compensation attributable to, a

period prior to the publication or effective date of such introduction, change,
guideline or request being deemed to be incurred for purposes hereof on the
later of such publication or effective date). Each Indemnified Party hereto
agrees to use reasonable efforts promptly to notify the Seller of any event
referred to in the first sentence of this SECTION 2.11, PROVIDED that the
failure to give such notice shall not affect the rights of any Indemnified Party
under this SECTION 2.11. A certificate in reasonable detail as to the basis for,
and the amount of, such compensation submitted to the Seller and the
Administrative Agent by such Indemnified Party (or by the Administrative Agent
for the account of such Indemnified Party) shall be conclusive and binding for
all purposes, absent manifest error.

            SECTION 2.12 TAXES. (a) Any and all payments by the Seller hereunder
or deposits from Collections hereunder shall be made, in accordance with SECTION
2.08, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future
taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities
with respect thereto, EXCLUDING, in the case of each Indemnified Party, (i)
taxes that are imposed on its overall net income by the United States, (ii)
taxes that are imposed on its overall net income, assets or net worth (and
franchise taxes imposed in lieu thereof) by the state or foreign jurisdiction
under the laws of which such Indemnified Party is organized or qualified to do
business or in which such Indemnified Party holds any asset in connection with
this Agreement or, in each case, any political subdivision thereof, and (iii)
other liabilities, interest and penalties incurred as a result of actions by
such Indemnified Party constituting the gross negligence or willful misconduct
of such Indemnified Party, except to the extent that such actions shall have
been approved by or directed to be taken by the Seller or the Servicer (all such
non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and
liabilities in respect of payments hereunder or deposits from Collections
hereunder being hereinafter referred to as "TAXES"). If the Seller or the
Servicer or the Administrative Agent shall be required by law to deduct any
Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or deposit from
Collections hereunder to any Indemnified Party, (I) the sum payable shall be
increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions
(including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this SECTION
2.12) such Indemnified Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have
received had no such deductions been made, (II) the Seller or the Servicer or
the Administrative Agent shall make such deductions and (III) the Seller or the
Servicer or the Administrative Agent shall pay the full amount deducted to the
relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable
law.

            (b) In addition, the Seller shall pay any present or future sales,
stamp, documentary, excise, property or similar taxes, charges or levies that
arise from any payment made hereunder or deposit from Collections hereunder or
from the execution, delivery or registration of, performing under, or otherwise
with respect to, this Agreement, the Certificates, the Receivables Contribution
and Sale Agreement, the Consent and Agreement or the Fee Letters (hereinafter
referred to as "OTHER TAXES").

            (c) The Seller shall indemnify each Indemnified Party for and hold
it harmless against the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including, without
limitation, taxes of any kind imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable
under this SECTION 2.12) imposed on or paid by such Indemnified Party and any
liability (including penalties, additions to tax, interest and expenses other
than those incurred as a result of actions by such Indemnified Party
constituting the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified
Party, except to the

                                       46
<Page>

extent that such actions shall have been approved by or directed to be taken by
the Seller or the Servicer) arising therefrom or with respect thereto whether or
not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. This
indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such Indemnified
Party makes written demand therefor (with a copy to the Administrative Agent).

            (d) Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes or Other
Taxes, the Seller shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address
referred to in SECTION 12.02, the original or a certified copy of a receipt
evidencing such payment.

            (e) Each Owner organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside
the United States shall, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery
of this Agreement in the case of each original Purchaser, and on the date of the
Assignment or the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it became an Owner
in the case of each other Owner, and from time to time thereafter as requested
in writing by the Seller (but only so long thereafter as such Owner remains
lawfully able to do so), provide each of the Administrative Agent and the Seller
with two original Internal Revenue Service forms W-8BEN and W-8ECI, as
appropriate, or any successor or other form prescribed by the Internal Revenue
Service, certifying that such Owner is exempt from or entitled to a reduced rate
of United States withholding tax on payments pursuant to this Agreement. If the
forms provided by an Owner at the time such Owner first becomes a party to this
Agreement indicate a United States interest withholding tax rate in excess of
zero, withholding tax at such rate shall be considered excluded from Taxes
unless and until such Owner provides the appropriate form certifying that a
lesser rate applies, whereupon withholding tax at such lesser rate only shall be
considered excluded from Taxes for periods governed by such form; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER that if, at the effective date of the Assignment or the Assignment and
Acceptance pursuant to which an Assignee becomes an Owner hereunder, the Owner
assignor was entitled to payments under subsection (a) of this SECTION 2.12 in
respect of United States withholding tax with respect to amounts paid hereunder
at such date, then, to such extent, the term Taxes shall include (in addition to
withholding taxes that may be imposed in the future or other amounts otherwise
includable in Taxes) United States withholding tax, if any, applicable with
respect to such Assignee on such date. If any form or document referred to in
this subsection (e) requires the disclosure of information, other than
information necessary to compute the tax payable and information required on the
date hereof by Internal Revenue Service form 1001 or 4224, that the Owner
reasonably considers to be confidential, the Owner shall give notice thereof to
the Seller and shall not be obligated to include in such form or document such
confidential information.

            (f) For any period with respect to which an Owner has failed to
provide the Seller with the appropriate form described in subsection (e) of this
SECTION 2.12 (other than if such failure is due to a change in law occurring
after the date on which a form originally was required to be provided or if such
form otherwise is not required under subsection (e) of this SECTION 2.12), such
Owner shall not be entitled to indemnification under subsection (a) or (c) of
this SECTION 2.12 with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States by reason
of such failure; PROVIDED, HOWEVER that should an Owner become subject to Taxes
because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, the Seller shall
take such steps as such Owner shall reasonably request to assist such Owner (at
such Owner's expense) to recover such Taxes.

                                       47

            SECTION 2.13 SHARING OF PAYMENTS, ETC. If any Owner which is a
Purchaser or any successive Assignee thereof shall obtain any payment (whether
voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff, or
otherwise) on account of any Receivable Interests owned by it (other than
pursuant to SECTION 2.10, 2.11, 2.12 or 2.14) in excess of its ratable share of
payments on account of Receivable Interests obtained by all such Owners, such
Owner shall forthwith purchase from the other such Owners such participations in
the Receivable Interests owned by them as shall be necessary to cause such
purchasing Owner to share the excess payment ratably with each of them,
PROVIDED, HOWEVER that if all or any portion of such excess payment is
thereafter recovered from such purchasing Owner, such purchase from each Owner
shall be rescinded and such Owner shall repay to the purchasing Owner the
purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to
such Owner's ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of
such Owner's required payment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the
purchasing Owner) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the
purchasing Owner in respect of the total amount so recovered. The Seller agrees
that any Owner so purchasing an interest in Receivable Interests from another
Owner pursuant to this SECTION 2.13 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect
to such interest in Receivable Interests as fully as if such Owner were the
direct creditor of the Seller in the amount of such interest in Receivable
Interests.

            SECTION 2.14 SUBSTITUTION OF PURCHASERS. If any Purchaser shall (i)
determine not to make the portion of any Purchase to be made by it under SECTION
2.02(A) or refuse or be unable to fund or maintain such Purchase with the
issuance of commercial paper notes, or (ii) request, or if any Participant or
Participants for the Receivable Interest or Interests of such Purchaser shall
request, a payment pursuant to SECTION 2.10, 2.11 or 2.12, or (iii) be unable to
make any Purchase of, or maintain, any Receivable Interest bearing Yield based
on the Adjusted LIBO Rate as a result of the occurrence of any circumstance
specified in clause (A) or (C) of section (ii) in the proviso to the definition
of the term "Assignee Rate" contained herein, or (iv) have had its Affiliate
that is a Bank (under and as defined in the Parallel Purchase Commitment) become
a "Substitutable Member" under and as defined in SECTION 2.14 of the Parallel
Purchase Commitment (in each of clauses (i) through (iv) such a Purchaser being
a "SUBSTITUTABLE PURCHASER"), the Seller may cause such Substitutable Purchaser,
as instructed by the Seller, to assign to the other Purchasers which shall have
agreed to accept and assume such assignment (it being understood that each
Purchaser willing to so accept and assume such assignment shall be permitted to
do so by each other Purchaser and the Seller) ratably in accordance with their
respective Pro Rata Shares or as otherwise agreed by such Purchasers and
notified to the Seller and the Administrative Agent, or, if no other Purchaser
shall have agreed to so accept and assume such assignment within five Business
Days after the Seller shall give written notice to the Administrative Agent of
the Seller's offer of such assignment to the other Purchasers, to such other
Person as shall have been designated by the Seller and approved by the
Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed, and PROVIDED that the Person designated by such Person
as its Managing Agent shall also have been so approved by the Seller and the
Administrative Agent), all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement
and with respect to its Receivable Interests (including, without limitation, all
of its Purchase Limit and the amount of Capital owing to it) pursuant to an
Assignment and Acceptance executed under SECTION 9.02, provided, HOWEVER that
(x) such assignment shall not conflict with any law, rule, regulation, order or
decree of any governmental authority, (y) the Substitutable Purchaser shall have
received from such assignee full payment in immediately

                                       48
<Page>

available funds of all amounts payable to it in respect of Capital, accrued
Yield and other amounts owing to it in connection herewith and (z) such
assignment by such Substitutable Purchaser shall occur simultaneously with an
assignment by that Bank (under and as defined in the Parallel Purchase
Commitment) which is an Affiliate of such Substitutable Purchaser of all of such
Bank's rights and obligations under the Parallel Purchase Commitment and with
respect to its Receivable Interests, if any, to an assignee pursuant to SECTION
2.14 of the Parallel Purchase Commitment; and PROVIDED FURTHER, that nothing
contained in this SECTION 2.14 shall obligate any Purchaser to assume any rights
or obligations of any Substitutable Purchaser.

      enforceable against the Seller in accordance with their

                                       53

      respective terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
      moratorium or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally and
      to general equitable principles.

            (e) [Intentionally Omitted].

            (f) There is no pending or, to the Seller's knowledge, threatened
      action or proceeding affecting the Seller before any court, governmental
      agency or arbitrator which may materially adversely affect (i) the
      financial condition or operations of the Seller or (ii) the ability of the
      Seller to perform its obligations under this Agreement or any other
      Transaction Document to which the Seller is or will be a party, or which
      purports to affect the legality, validity or enforceability of any
      Transaction Document.

            (g) No proceeds of any Purchase or reinvestment will be used to
      acquire any security in any transaction which is subject to SECTIONS 13
      AND 14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or for any
      purpose that would violate Regulation T, U or X of the Board of Governors
      of the Federal Reserve System.

            (h) On the date of each Purchase and reinvestment, the Receivables
      with respect to which such Purchase or reinvestment is being made
      constitute Eligible Receivables. Immediately prior to the time of the
      initial creation of an interest hereunder in any Pool Receivable and each
      Purchase, the Seller is the legal and beneficial owner of the Pool
      Receivables and Related Security with respect thereto, in each case free
      and clear of any Adverse Claim. Upon each Purchase or reinvestment, the
      Seller shall transfer to the Owner making such Purchase or reinvestment

      interest to the extent of the pertinent Receivable Interest in each Pool
      Receivable then existing or thereafter arising and in the Related Security
      and Collections with respect thereto, free and clear of any Adverse Claim,
      which ownership interest shall be a perfected first priority ownership
      interest upon the filing of the financing statements referred to in
      SECTION 3.02(J). No effective financing statement or other instrument
      similarly in effect covering any Contract or any Pool Receivable or
      Related Security or Collections with respect thereto is on file in any
      recording office, except those filed in favor of the Administrative Agent
      relating to this Agreement and the Parallel Purchase Commitment or in
      favor of the Seller and the Administrative Agent relating to the
      Receivables Contribution and Sale Agreement.

            (i) Each Daily Report, Weekly Report and Monthly Report (if prepared
      by the Seller or one of its Affiliates, or to the extent that information
      contained therein is supplied by the Seller or any Affiliate thereof),
      information, exhibit, financial statement, or other report or document
      furnished or to be furnished at any time by or on behalf of the Seller to
      the Administrative Agent or any Owner in connection with this Agreement is
      and will be accurate in all material respects as of its date or as of the
      date so furnished, and no such report or document contains, or will
      contain, as of its date of delivery or the date so furnished, any untrue
      statement of a material fact or omits to state, or will omit to state, as
      of its date of delivery or the date so furnished, a material fact
      necessary in order to make the statements contained therein, in the light
      of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

      Originator or the Seller, as the case may be) of, the Lock-Box Accounts at
      such Lock-Box Banks, are specified in Schedule I hereto (or such other
      Lock-Box Banks and/or such other Lock-Box Accounts as have been notified
      to the Administrative Agent in accordance with SECTION 5.03(d)), SUBJECT,
      HOWEVER, to the provisions of SECTION 5.01(N).

            (l) Each Purchase of a Receivable Interest and each reinvestment of
      Collections in Pool Receivables will constitute (i) a "current
      transaction" within the meaning of SECTION 3(A)(3) of the Securities Act
      of 1933, as amended, and (ii) a purchase or other acquisition of notes,
      drafts, acceptances, open accounts receivable or other obligations
      representing part or all of the sales price of merchandise, insurance or

      respect thereto to any Person other than as contemplated by this Agreement
      and the Parallel Purchase Commitment.

            (p) The Seller has complied with the Credit and Collection Policy in
      all material respects and since the Amendment Closing Date there has been
      no change in the Credit and Collection Policy except as permitted

            (s) With respect to each transfer to it of any Pool Receivables, the
      Seller has either (i) purchased such Pool Receivables from a Originator in
      exchange for payment (made by the Seller to such Originator in accordance
      with the provisions of the Receivables Contribution and Sale Agreement) in
      an amount which constitutes fair consideration and approximates fair
      market value for such Pool Receivables and in a sale the terms and
      conditions of which (including, without limitation, the purchase price
      thereof) reasonably approximate an arm's-length transaction between
      unaffiliated parties or (ii) acquired such Pool Receivables from such
      Originator as a capital contribution in accordance with the provisions of
      the Receivables Contribution and Sale Agreement. No such sale, and no such
      contribution, has been made for or on account of an antecedent debt owed
      by such Originator to the Seller and no such sale or contribution is or
      may be voidable or subject to avoidance under any section of the U.S.
      Bankruptcy Code.

      be paid by it, except for such taxes (i) as are being contested in good
      faith by proper proceedings and (ii) against which adequate reserves shall
      have been established in accordance with and to the extent required by
      GAAP, but only so long as the proceedings referred to in clause (i) above

      to any civil or criminal penalty or liability or involve any material risk
      of the loss, sale or forfeiture of any property, rights or interests
      covered hereunder or under the Receivables Contribution and Sale
      Agreement.

            (u) Each Pool Receivable is effective to create, and has created, a
      legal, valid and binding obligation of the related Obligor to pay the
      Outstanding Balance of such Pool Receivable created thereunder and any
      accrued interest thereon, enforceable against such Obligor in accordance
      with its terms, except as may be limited by applicable bankruptcy,
      insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws relating to or limiting

      (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or
      at law).

Person, in each case to service, administer or collect any or all of the Pool
Receivables, PROVIDED that the Person with whom the Servicer so subcontracts
shall not become the Servicer hereunder and the Servicer shall remain liable for
the performance of the duties and obligations of the Servicer pursuant to the
terms hereof.

            SECTION 6.02 DUTIES OF SERVICER. (a) The Servicer shall take or
cause to be taken all such commercially reasonable actions as may be necessary
or advisable to collect each Pool Receivable from time to time, all in
accordance with applicable laws, rules and regulations, with reasonable care and
diligence, and in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy. Each of the
Seller, the Purchasers, the Managing Agents and the Administrative Agent hereby
appoints as its agent the Servicer, from time to time designated pursuant to
SECTION 6.01, to enforce its respective rights and interests in and under the
Pool Receivables, the Related Security and the related Contracts.

            (b) The Servicer shall set aside and hold in trust (in accordance
with the provisions of this SECTION 6.02) for the account of the Seller and each
Owner their respective allocable shares of the Collections of Pool Receivables
in accordance with SECTIONS 2.05 and 2.06, but shall not be required, unless
otherwise requested by the Administrative Agent (with the consent or at the
request of the Majority Managing Agents) to segregate the funds constituting
such portion of such Collections prior to the remittance thereof in accordance
with such Sections. While holding items in trust, except upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Termination or Potential Event of
Termination, the Servicer undertakes to perform only those duties specifically
set forth in this Agreement and no others, and no implied covenants or
obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Servicer in such
instances. If instructed by the Administrative Agent (with the consent or at the
request of the Majority Managing Agents), the Servicer shall segregate and
deposit with a bank (which may be any of the Managing Agents) designated by the
Administrative Agent such allocable share of Collections of Pool Receivables set
aside for each Owner on the first Business Day following receipt by the Servicer
of such Collections. If no Event of Termination or Potential Event of
Termination shall have occurred and be continuing, WORLDCOM, while it is the
Servicer, may, in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy, extend the
maturity or adjust the Outstanding Balance of any Defaulted Receivable as
WORLDCOM may determine to be appropriate to maximize Collections thereof.

            (c) The Servicer shall administer the Collections in accordance with
the procedures described herein and in SECTION 2.07. The Servicer shall set
aside and hold in trust (in accordance with the provisions of SECTION 6.02(b))
for the account of the Seller in accordance with subsection (b) of this SECTION
6.02, (i) the Seller's allocable share of the Collections of Pool Receivables
less all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of such Servicer of
servicing, administering and collecting the Pool Receivables to the extent not
covered by the Servicer Fee received by it and (ii) the Collections of any
Receivable which is not a Pool Receivable in accordance with SECTION 2.07. The
Servicer shall, if not WORLDCOM, as soon as practicable following receipt, turn
over to the Seller any cash collections or other cash proceeds received with
respect to Receivables not constituting Pool Receivables.

            (d) The Servicer shall hold as fiduciary for the Seller and each
Owner, in accordance with their respective interests, all Records that evidence
or relate to the Pool Receivables. The Servicer shall, upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Termination or Potential Event of
Termination, and at the request of the Administrative Agent or any Managing
Agent, provide Records with respect to Pool Receivables to such Administrative
Agent or Managing Agent.

            (e) The Servicer shall, from time to time at the request of the
Administrative Agent or any Managing Agent, furnish to the Administrative Agent
(promptly after any such request) a calculation of the amounts of Collections
attributable to each Receivable Interest pursuant to SECTION 2.05 or 2.06.

            (f) The Servicer shall permit, and shall cause each of its agents
and subcontractors to permit, from time to time during regular business hours as
requested by the Administrative Agent or any Managing Agent upon two Business
Days' notice (PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no such notice shall be required upon the
occurrence or during the continuance of an Event of Termination or Potential
Event of Termination), the Administrative Agent or any Managing Agent or any of
their agents or representatives, (i) to examine and make copies of and abstracts
from all Records in the possession or under the control of the Servicer, its
agents and subcontractors relating to Pool Receivables and the Related Security,
and (ii) to visit the offices and properties of the Servicer, its agents and
subcontractors for the purpose of examining such Records described in clause (i)
above, and to discuss matters relating to Pool Receivables and the Related
Security or the Servicer's performance hereunder or under the Contracts with any
of the officers or employees of the Servicer, its agents and subcontractors
having knowledge of such matters.

            SECTION 6.03 RIGHTS OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT. (a) The
Administrative Agent may, with the consent of the Majority Managing Agents, and
shall, at the request of the Majority Managing Agents, at any time execute and
date, and deliver to the Lock-Box Banks, the Lock-Box Notices referred to in the
Collection Notices. The Seller and WORLDCOM, each hereby, when the
Administrative Agent shall deliver the Lock-Box Notices to the Lock-Box Banks,
transfers to the Administrative Agent the exclusive ownership, dominion and
control of the Lock-Box Accounts to which the Obligors of Pool Receivables shall
make payments, and shall take any further action that the Administrative Agent,
at the request of, or with the consent of, the Majority Managing Agents,
reasonably request to effect such transfer. In case any authorized signatory of
the Seller or WORLDCOM whose signature shall appear on any Lock-Box Notice shall
cease to have such authority before the delivery of such Lock-Box Notice, such
signature shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes as if such
authority had remained in force at the time of such delivery. Further, the
Administrative Agent may at its election, and shall at the request of the
Majority Managing Agents, notify at any time and at the Seller's expense the
Obligors of Pool Receivables, or any of them, of the ownership of Receivable
Interests by the Owners.

            (b) At any time following the designation of a Servicer other than
WORLDCOM pursuant to SECTION 6.01:

                                       70
<Page>

                  First: The Administrative Agent may at its election, and shall
            at the request of the Majority Managing Agents, direct the Obligors
            of Pool Receivables, or any of them, to make payment of all amounts
            due or to become due to the Seller under any Pool Receivable
            directly to the Administrative Agent or its designee.

                  Second: The Seller and WORLDCOM each shall, at the
            Administrative Agent's request (either at the Administrative Agent's
            election or at the request of the Majority Managing Agents) and at
            the Seller's and WORLDCOM's expense, give notice of the Owners'
            ownership to such Obligors and direct them to make such payments
            directly to the Administrative Agent or its designee.

                  Third: The Seller and WORLDCOM each shall, at the
            Administrative Agent's request (either at the Administrative Agent's
            election or at the request of the Majority Managing Agents), (A)
            assemble all of the Records which evidence or relate to the Pool
            Receivables, and the related Contracts and Related Security, or
            which are otherwise necessary or desirable to collect the Pool
            Receivables, and shall make the same available to the Administrative
            Agent at a place selected by the Administrative Agent or its
            designee, and (B) segregate all cash, checks and other instruments
            received by it from time to time constituting Collections of Pool
            Receivables in a manner acceptable to the Administrative Agent and
            shall, promptly upon receipt, remit all such cash, checks and
            instruments, duly endorsed or with duly executed instruments of
            transfer, to the Administrative Agent or its designee.

                  Fourth: The Administrative Agent may at its election, and
            shall at the request of the Majority Managing Agents, take any and
            all commercially reasonable steps in the Seller's or WORLDCOM's name
            and on behalf of the Seller and the Owners necessary or desirable,
            in the determination of the Administrative Agent, to collect all
            amounts due under any and all Pool Receivables, including, without
            limitation, endorsing the Seller's or WORLDCOM's name on checks and
            other instruments representing Collections, enforcing such Pool
            Receivables and the related Contracts, and adjusting, settling or
            compromising the amount or payment thereof, in the same manner and
            to the same extent as the Seller or WORLDCOM might have done.

            SECTION 6.04 RESPONSIBILITIES OF EACH ORIGINATOR AND THE SELLER.
Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding:

            (a) Each of the Seller and each Originator shall perform all of its
      obligations under the Contracts related to the Pool Receivables to the
      same extent as if Receivable Interests had not been sold hereunder and the
      exercise by the Administrative Agent of its rights hereunder shall not
      release any Originator or the Seller from such obligations or its
      obligations with respect to Pool Receivables or under the related
      Contracts; and

            (b) Neither the Administrative Agent, nor any Managing Agent nor the
      Owners shall have any obligation or liability with respect to any Pool
      Receivables or

                                       71
<Page>

      related Contracts, nor shall any of them be obligated to perform any of
      the obligations of the Seller thereunder.

            SECTION 6.05 FURTHER ACTIONS EVIDENCING PURCHASES. (a) The Seller
and the Servicer each agree that from time to time, at the Seller's expense,
each will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents,
and take all further action, that may be necessary or desirable, or that the
Administrative Agent may at its election, and shall at the request of the
Majority Managing Agents, reasonably request, in order to perfect, protect or
more fully evidence the sale, transfer and assignment of the Receivable
Interests purchased by the Owners hereunder free and clear of any Adverse Claim
other than Adverse Claims contemplated by the Transaction Documents, or to
enable any of them or the Administrative Agent or any Managing Agent to exercise
and enforce any of their respective rights and remedies hereunder or under the
Certificates. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Seller and
(in the case of clause (ii) below) the Servicer will upon the reasonable request
of the Administrative Agent: (i) execute and file such financing or continuation
statements, or amendments thereto or assignments thereof, and such other
instruments or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as the
Administrative Agent may at its election, and shall at the request of the
Majority Managing Agents, request, in order to perfect, protect or evidence such
Receivable Interests; and (ii) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of
an Event of Termination or Potential Event of Termination, provide Records with
respect to the Pool Receivables and the related Contracts to the Administrative
Agent.

            (b) The Seller hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to file
one or more financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto and
assignments thereof, relating to all or any of the Contracts, or Pool
Receivables and the Related Security and Collections with respect thereto, now
existing or hereafter arising, without the signature of the Seller where
permitted by law. A photocopy or other reproduction of this Agreement or any
financing statement covering all or any of the Contracts, or Pool Receivables
and the Related Security and Collections with respect thereto, shall be
sufficient as a financing statement where permitted by law.

            (c) If the Servicer or the Seller fails to perform any agreement
contained herein, the Administrative Agent may itself perform, or cause
performance of, such agreement, and the reasonable costs and expenses of the
Administrative Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the
Seller under SECTION 10.01 or SECTION 12.04, as applicable.

            SECTION 6.06 THE CONCENTRATION ACCOUNT AND THE DEPOSIT ACCOUNT. (a)
On or prior to the New Closing Date and during the term of this Agreement, the
Servicer, for the benefit of the Indemnified Parties, shall establish and
maintain or cause to be established and maintained in the name of the Seller
with the Concentration Bank, the Concentration Account, such account bearing a
designation clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the
benefit of the Administrative Agent. The Servicer shall cause Collections of
Pool Receivables to be deposited into the Concentration Account on each Business
Day as promptly as is reasonably practicable after receipt in a Lock-Box
Account, and in any event no later than the day on which such Collections become
available funds in such Lock-Box Account.

                                       72
<Page>

            (b) Funds on deposit in the Deposit Account, shall, at the written
direction of the Servicer or, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of
any Event of Termination or Potential Event of Termination, in the sole
discretion of the Administrative Agent, be invested by the Administrative Agent
in Eligible Investments as instructed by the Servicer in writing (which may be a
standing instruction) or, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Termination or Potential Event of Termination, as determined by the
Administrative Agent in its sole discretion. All such Eligible Investments shall
be held by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Indemnified Parties.
Such funds shall be invested in Eligible Investments that will mature so that
funds will be available in amounts sufficient for the Administrative Agent to
make each distribution required under this Agreement or the Parallel Purchase
Commitment. All interest and other investment earnings (net of losses and
investment expenses) received on funds on deposit in the Deposit Account, to the
extent such investment income is not needed to pay the Indemnified Parties or
any of them under the terms of this Agreement or the Parallel Purchase
Commitment, shall be added to the Deposit Account and allocated in the manner
of, and treated as, Collections of Pool Receivables for all purposes of this
Agreement. The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized, unless otherwise
directed in writing by the Servicer, to effect transactions in Eligible
Investments through a capital markets affiliate of the Administrative Agent.

the Administrative Agent and each Owner shall have, in addition to all other
rights and remedies under this Agreement or otherwise, all other rights and
remedies provided under the UCC of the applicable jurisdiction and other
applicable laws, which rights shall be cumulative. Without limiting the
foregoing or the general applicability of ARTICLE IX hereof, any Owner may elect
to assign any Receivable Interest owned

                                       76

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                THE MANAGING AGENTS AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

            SECTION 8.01 AUTHORIZATION AND ACTION. Each Purchaser hereby
appoints and authorizes each of its Managing Agent and the Administrative Agent,
respectively, and each Managing Agent hereby appoints and authorizes the
Administrative Agent, to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise
such powers under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and each
other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto as are delegated to such
Managing Agent or the Administrative Agent, respectively, by the terms hereof or
thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. As to
any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement (including, without
limitation, enforcement of such Transaction Documents and such other instruments
and documents), neither the Administrative Agent nor any Managing Agent shall be
required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to
act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or
refraining from acting) upon the instructions or requests of the Majority
Managing Agents, in the case of the Administrative Agent, or such Managing
Agent's Purchaser, in the case of such Managing Agent, and such instructions and
requests shall be binding upon all parties hereto and all Assignees; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Managing Agent shall be
required to take any action which exposes the Administrative Agent or such
Managing Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or
any other Transaction Document, or any other instrument or document furnished
pursuant hereto or applicable law. Each of the Administrative Agent and each
Managing Agent agrees to give to each other and to each Purchaser prompt notice
of each notice given to it pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other
Transaction Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant
hereto, and in the case of each notice by the Seller to the Administrative Agent
of each requested Purchase by the Purchasers pursuant to SECTION 2.02(a), the
Administrative Agent agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to give notice of
such Purchase to each Managing Agent on the same day as such notice by the
Seller. The Administrative Agent hereby agrees to deliver promptly to each
Managing Agent each report, document, notice or other written communication
required to be delivered by or on behalf of the Seller or the Servicer or any
Originator to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Purchasers and the
Managing Agents by the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other
Transaction Documents (it being understood that the Administrative Agent shall
have no obligation to deliver, or cause to be delivered, to any Managing Agent
any such report, document, notice or other written communication if the Seller
or the Servicer or any Originator required to deliver, or have delivered on its
behalf, such report, document, notice or other written communication fails to
make or cause such delivery to the Administrative Agent).

            SECTION 8.02 ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT'S AND MANAGING AGENT'S RELIANCE,
ETC. Neither the Administrative Agent, nor any Managing Agent nor any of their
respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any
action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them as Administrative Agent or
Managing Agent, respectively, under or in connection with this Agreement or any
other Transaction Document or any other instrument or document furnished
pursuant hereto (including, without limitation, the Administrative Agent's
servicing,

                                       77
<Page>

administering or collecting the Pool Receivables as Servicer pursuant to SECTION
6.01), except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, except as otherwise agreed by
the Administrative Agent or any Managing Agent, as applicable, and any Owner,
each of the Administrative Agent and each Managing Agent, respectively: (i) may
consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Seller, the Servicer or
any Originator), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it
and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good
faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or
experts; (ii) makes no warranty or representation to any Owner or any other
Indemnified Party and shall not be responsible to any Owner or any other
Indemnified Party for any statements, warranties or representations (whether
written or oral) made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other
Transaction Document or any other instrument or document delivered pursuant
hereto; (iii) shall not have any duty to ascertain, to verify or to inquire as
to the performance or observance or accuracy of any of the terms, covenants or
conditions of, or information specified in, this Agreement or any other
Transaction Document or any Daily Report, Weekly Report, Monthly Report or other
instrument or document delivered pursuant hereto on the part of the Seller, the
Servicer or any Originator or to inspect the property (including the books and
records) of the Seller, the Servicer or any Originator; (iv) shall not be
responsible to any Owner or other Indemnified Party for the due execution,
legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this
Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any other instrument or document
furnished pursuant hereto, or the perfection, priority or value of any ownership
interest or security interest created or purported to be created hereunder or
under the Receivables Contribution and Sale Agreement; and (v) shall incur no
liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Transaction
Document or any other instrument or document delivered pursuant hereto by acting
upon any notice (including notice by electronic transmission or telephone),
consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telecopier,
telegram, cable, telex or electronic transmission) believed by it to be genuine
and signed or sent by the proper party or parties.

            SECTION 8.03 ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND MANAGING AGENTS. With respect
to any Receivable Interest owned by it, each of the Administrative Agent, the
CNAI Conduits Managing Agent, the Bank One Conduits Managing Agent, the GBFC
Managing Agent, the Delaware Funding Managing Agent, the Paradigm Managing Agent
and the Liberty Managing Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this
Agreement as any other Owner and may exercise the same as though it were not the
Administrative Agent or a Managing Agent, as applicable. Each of the
Administrative Agent, the CNAI Conduits Managing Agent, the Bank One Conduits
Managing Agent, the GBFC Managing Agent, the Delaware Funding Managing Agent,
the Paradigm Managing Agent and the Liberty Managing Agent and their respective
Affiliates may generally engage in any kind of business with the Seller or any
Originator or any Obligor, any of their respective Affiliates and any Person who
may do business with or own securities of the Seller or any Originator or any
Obligor or any of their respective Affiliates, all as if Bank One, CNAI, BLBNY,
JPMorgan, West LB and Nova Scotia were not the Administrative Agent or Managing
Agents, as applicable, and without any duty to account therefor to the Owners.

            SECTION 8.04 PURCHASERS' PURCHASE DECISIONS. Each Purchaser
acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the
Administrative Agent or any Managing Agent, any of their respective Affiliates
or any other Indemnified Party and based on such

                                       78
<Page>

documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own evaluation
and decision to enter into this Agreement and, if it so determines, to purchase
undivided ownership interests in Pool Receivables hereunder. Each Purchaser also
acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the
Administrative Agent or any Managing Agent, any of their respective Affiliates
or any other Indemnified Party and based on such documents and information as it
shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own decisions in taking
or not taking action under this Agreement.

            SECTION 8.05 INDEMNIFICATION. Each Purchaser agrees to cause to be
indemnified its Managing Agent and the Administrative Agent (to the extent not
reimbursed by the Seller or any Originator, and in the case of such
indemnification of the Administrative Agent, ratably in accordance with its
respective Pro Rata Share), from and against any and all liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed
on, incurred by, or asserted against such Managing Agent or the Administrative
Agent, respectively, in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or
any other Transaction Document or any other instrument or document furnished
pursuant hereto or in connection herewith or any action taken or omitted by such
Managing Agent or the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other
Transaction Document or any such instrument or document, PROVIDED that no
Purchaser shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations,
losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements resulting from such Managing Agent's or Administrative Agent's,
respectively, gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the
foregoing but subject to the PROVISO to the preceding sentence, each Purchaser
agrees to reimburse each of its Managing Agent, the Administrative Agent (in the
case of such reimbursement of the Administrative Agent, ratably in accordance
with its respective Pro Rata Share), promptly upon demand for any out-of-pocket
expenses (including counsel fees) incurred by such Managing Agent or the
Administrative Agent, respectively, in connection with the administration,
modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal
proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or
responsibilities under, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any
other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or in connection
herewith, to the extent, in the case of the Administrative Agent, that such
expenses are incurred in the interests of or otherwise in respect of all
Purchasers (and not just Delaware Funding or its Affiliates) hereunder and to
the extent that such Managing Agent or the Administrative Agent, respectively,
is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Seller or any Originator.

            SECTION 8.06 SUCCESSOR ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT. (a) The Administrative
Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Managing
Agents and the Seller and may be removed at any time with or without cause by
the Majority Managing Agents. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Managing
Agents shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent. If no
successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Managing
Agents, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the
retiring Administrative Agent's giving of notice of resignation or the Majority
Managing Agents' removal of the retiring Administrative Agent, then the retiring
Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Purchasers and the Majority Managing
Agents, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a commercial
bank organized under the laws of the United States or of any State thereof and
having a combined capital and surplus of at least

                                       79
<Page>

$250,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent
hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent and upon the execution and filing
or recording of such financing statements, or amendments thereto, and such other
instruments or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Managing
Agents may request, in order to continue the perfection of the security
interests granted or purported to be granted by the Transaction Documents, such
successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the
rights, powers, discretion, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative
Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties
and obligations under the Transaction Documents. Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, the retiring Administrative Agent's resignation or removal
shall not become effective, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall not be
discharged from its duties and obligations under the Transaction Documents,
unless and until a successor Administrative Agent shall have been appointed
hereunder and shall have accepted such appointment. After any retiring
Administrative Agent's resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent
shall have become effective, as specified above, the provisions of this ARTICLE
VIII shall inure to its benefit to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by
it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement.

            (b) Upon the effectiveness of this Agreement and on and after the
date hereof:

            (i) Bank One hereby resigns as Administrative Agent as defined in,
      and for purposes of, the Original Agreement, the A&R Agreement and the
      Second A&R Agreement and for purposes of this Agreement.

            (ii) The Managing Agents and the Purchasers hereby appoint JPMorgan
      as successor Administrative Agent under, and for purposes of, this
      Agreement and JPMorgan hereby accepts such appointment.

            (iii) The provisions of this Article VIII (including, without
      limitation, the indemnity provisions of SECTION 8.05) shall inure to Bank
      One's benefit to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by Bank One
      while Bank One was Administrative Agent as defined in, and under, the
      Original Agreement, the A&R Agreement and the Second A&R Agreement.

            SECTION 8.07 CO-LEAD MANAGERS. It is understood and agreed that CNAI
and JPMorgan, each as Co-Lead Manager hereunder, shall have no duties or
responsibilities hereunder as such Co-Lead Managers.

or willful misconduct on the part of such Indemnified Party, or (y) the failure
to collect amounts in respect of a Pool Receivable, which is an Eligible
Receivable, to the extent such failure results from a discharge of the Obligor

bankruptcy laws or otherwise results from the Obligor's financial inability to
pay such amounts. Without limiting or being limited by the foregoing (other
than, and subject to, the exclusions referred to in the "excluding, however"
clause above) and whether or not any of the transactions contemplated hereby are
consummated, the Seller shall pay on demand to each Indemnified Party any and

      applicable law, rule or regulation with respect to any Pool Receivable or
      the related Contract or any Related Security with respect thereto; or the
      failure of any Pool Receivable or the related Contract or any Related
      Security with respect thereto to conform to any such applicable law, rule
      or regulation;

      be in, the Receivables Pool and the Related Security and Collections in
      respect thereof, free and clear of any Adverse Claim; or the failure of
      the Seller to have obtained a first priority perfected ownership interest
      in the Pool Receivables and the Related Security and Collections with

<Page>

      other applicable laws with respect to any Receivable in, or purported to
      be in, the Receivables Pool and the Related Security and Collections in
      respect thereof, whether at the time of any Purchase or reinvestment or at
      any subsequent time unless such failure results directly and solely from
      the Administrative Agent's failure to take appropriate action;

            (vi) any dispute, claim, offset or defense (other than discharge in
      bankruptcy of the Obligor) of any Obligor to the payment of any Receivable
      in, or purported to be in, the Receivables Pool (including, without
      limitation, any defense based on the fact or allegation that such
      Receivable or the related Contract is not 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 goods or
      services related to such Receivable or the furnishing or failure to

                                   ARTICLE XI

                           GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST

            SECTION 11.01 GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST. The Seller hereby assigns

Indemnified Party from time to time a security interest in and to, the Demand
Note and all proceeds thereof.

            SECTION 11.02 SECURITY FOR SECURED OBLIGATIONS. The assignment,
pledge and security interest granted under this ARTICLE XI secures the payment
of all obligations of the Seller now or hereafter existing from time to time
under this Agreement, the Fee Letters and any other instruments and documents
furnished by the Seller pursuant hereto or otherwise in connection with this
Agreement, whether for Collections received or deemed to have been received or
otherwise payable by the Seller, interest, fees, costs, expenses, taxes,
indemnification or otherwise (all such obligations being the "SECURED
OBLIGATIONS").

            SECTION 11.03 FURTHER ASSURANCES. (a) The Seller agrees that from
time to time, at the expense of the Seller, the Seller will promptly execute and
deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that

order to perfect and protect the assignment and security interest granted or
purported to be granted hereby or to enable the Administrative Agent to exercise
and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to the Demand Note.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Seller will, upon the

Administrative Agent, execute and file such financing or continuation

be necessary or desirable, or as the Administrative Agent may reasonably
request, in order to perfect and preserve the assignment and security interest

            (b) The Seller hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to file
one or more financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto,
relating to the Demand Note and the proceeds thereof without the signature of
the Seller where permitted by law, and the Administrative Agent shall notify the
Seller of each such filing. A photocopy or other reproduction of this Agreement
or any financing statement covering the Demand Note and the proceeds thereof
shall be sufficient as a financing statement where permitted by law.

            SECTION 11.04 ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT APPOINTED ATTORNEY-IN-FACT. The
Seller hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent the Seller's
attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of the Seller and
in the name of the Seller or otherwise, from time to time in the Administrative

Event of Termination, to take any action and to execute any instrument which the
Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes
of the assignment, pledge and security interest granted hereunder, including,
without limitation:

            (a) to ask, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compromise, receive
      and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under

            (b) to file any claims or take any action or institute any
      proceedings which the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or desirable
      for the collection of the Demand Note or otherwise to enforce compliance
      with the terms and conditions of the Demand Note or the rights of the
      Administrative Agent with respect to the Demand Note.

            SECTION 11.05 ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT MAY PERFORM. If the Seller
fails to perform any agreement contained in this ARTICLE XI, the Administrative
Agent may itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the
expenses of the Administrative Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be
payable by the Seller under SECTION 12.04.

            SECTION 11.06 THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT'S DUTIES. The powers
conferred on the Administrative Agent hereunder are solely to protect its
interest in the Demand Note and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise
any such powers. Except for the safe custody of the Demand Note in its
possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the
Administrative Agent shall have no duty as to the Demand Note or as to the
taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties or any
other rights pertaining to the Demand Note. The Administrative Agent shall be
deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the
Demand Note in its possession if the Demand Note is accorded treatment
substantially equal to that which it accords its own property.

            SECTION 11.07 REMEDIES. If any Event of Termination shall have
occurred and be continuing:

                                       87

      remedies of the Seller under or in connection with the Demand Note or

      Note, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or
      otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party
      on default under the UCC in effect in the State of New York (whether or
      not such UCC applies to the Demand Note).

            (c) All payments received by the Seller in respect of the Demand
      Note shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Administrative
      Agent, shall be segregated from other funds of the Seller and shall be
      forthwith paid over to the Administrative Agent in the same form as so
      received (with any necessary endorsement).

            (d) All payments made in respect of the Demand Note, and all cash
      proceeds in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization
      upon all or any part of the Demand Note, received by the Administrative
      Agent may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be held by the
      Administrative Agent as collateral for, and/or then or at any time
      thereafter applied (after payment of any amounts payable to the
      Administrative Agent pursuant to SECTION 12.04) in whole or in part
      by the Administrative Agent for the Owners or the applicable
      Indemnified Parties against, all or any part of the Secured Obligations
      and the "Secured Obligations" under and as defined in the Parallel
      Purchase Commitment, to the Owners and Indemnified Parties hereunder and
      the "Members" and "Indemnified Parties" under and as defined in the
      Parallel Purchase Commitment ratably in accordance with the respective
      amounts of such Secured Obligations and "Secured Obligations" owing to
      them. Any surplus of such payments or cash proceeds held by the
      Administrative Agent and remaining after payment in full of all the
      Secured Obligations and the "Secured Obligations" under and as defined in
      the Parallel Purchase Commitment shall be paid over to the Seller or to
      whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.

                                   ARTICLE XII

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

            SECTION 12.01 AMENDMENTS, ETC. No amendment or waiver of any
provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by the Seller, or
the Servicer herefrom, shall be effective unless in a writing signed by the
Majority Managing Agents and, in the case of any such amendment, the Seller and
the Servicer, and then such amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only
in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that no such amendment, waiver or consent shall do any of the
following, unless such amendment, waiver or consent is in writing and signed by
all the Managing Agents and the Rating Agencies then rating the commercial paper
notes of GBFC, Paradigm and Liberty shall have confirmed that the ratings of the
commercial paper notes of GBFC, Paradigm and Liberty will not be downgraded or
withdrawn as a result of such amendment, waiver or consent: (a) waive any of the
conditions specified in SECTIONS 3.01 and 3.02, (b) subject the Purchasers or
the

                                       88
<Page>

Managing Agents to any additional obligations, (c) reduce the amount of Capital
or Yield with respect to Receivable Interests or any fees payable hereunder, (d)
postpone any date scheduled for any reduction of Capital or for any payment of
Yield or any fees payable hereunder, (e) amend or waive any of the conditions

of "Contract", "Default Ratio", "Defaulted Receivable", "Dilution Reserve",
"Eligible Receivable", "Loss Reserve", "Loss-to-Liquidation Ratio", or "Net
Receivables Pool Balance" or amend or (if applicable) waive any defined term
used (or contained) in any of the foregoing definitions as applied thereto, (g)
assign any interest of Receivable Interests in any Pool Receivables or Related
Security or Collections, other than as provided in this Agreement, (h) change
the percentage of Purchase Limits, or the number of Owners or Managing Agents,
which shall be required for any amendment, waiver or consent or for any other
action hereunder, or (i) amend this SECTION 12.01; PROVIDED FURTHER, HOWEVER,
that no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the
Administrative Agent in addition to the Managing Agents as required above to
take such action, affect the rights or duties or increase the obligations of the
Administrative Agent under this Agreement; and PROVIDED FURTHER, HOWEVER, that
no amendment; waiver or consent shall increase the obligations of any Managing
Agent under this Agreement without the prior written approval of such Managing
Agent. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event of any
conflict between (i) any action taken by the Majority Managing Agents or all the
Managing Agents, as applicable, or the Administrative Agent under this
Agreement, including without limitation, in respect of any of the definitions
contained in SECTION 1.01 hereof or in respect of any amendment, waiver or
consent pursuant to this SECTION 12.01, and (ii) any action taken by the
Majority Purchaser Groups or all the Purchaser Groups (as each such term is
defined in the Parallel Purchase Commitment), as applicable, or the
Administrative Agent under the Parallel Purchase Commitment, such action
referred to in this clause (ii) shall control and apply to this Agreement as
well as the Parallel Purchase Commitment. No failure on the part of any Owner or
any Managing Agent or any other Indemnified Party to exercise, and no delay in
exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any
single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. Without limiting the
foregoing, each Owner is hereby authorized by the Seller upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Termination and from time to time, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, to setoff and apply any and all deposits
(general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and
other indebtedness at any time owing by such Owner to or for the credit or the
account of the Seller against any and all of the obligations of the Seller now
or hereafter existing under this Agreement to such Owner irrespective of whether
or not any formal demand shall have been made under this Agreement and although
such obligations may be unmatured. Each Owner agrees promptly to notify the
Seller and each other Owner after any such setoff and application; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of
such setoff and application. The rights of each Owner under this SECTION 12.01
are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation,
other rights of setoff) which such Owner may have. The remedies herein provided
are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

            SECTION 12.02 NOTICES, ETC. All notices and other communications
hereunder shall, unless otherwise stated herein, be in writing (including
telegraphic, telecopy or telex communication) and mailed, telegraphed,
telecopied, telexed or delivered, (i) to each of the Seller, the Servicer, each
Managing Agent and each initial Purchaser, at its address set forth

                                       89

an initial Purchaser, at its address specified on the Assignment and Acceptance
pursuant to which it became a Purchaser hereunder or (iii) to any party hereto
at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice
to the other parties hereto. All such notices and communications shall, when
mailed, telegraphed, telecopied or telexed, be effective when deposited in the
mails, delivered to the telegraph company, transmitted by telecopier or
confirmed by telex answerback, respectively, except that notices and
communications to the Administrative Agent pursuant to ARTICLE II shall not be

be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Seller, WORLDCOM, each Managing
Agent, each Owner and each other Indemnified Party and their respective
successors and assigns, except that neither the Seller nor WORLDCOM shall have
the right to assign its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein
without the prior written consent of each Managing Agent. This Agreement shall
create and constitute the continuing obligation of the parties hereto in
accordance with its terms, and shall remain in full force and effect until such
time, after the Facility Termination Date, as no Capital of any Receivable
Interest shall be outstanding and no Yield, fee or other amounts payable
hereunder shall remain unpaid; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that rights and remedies with
respect to the provisions of SECTIONS 2.10, 2.11, 2.12, 10.01, 12.04, 12.05,
12.06 and 12.07 shall be continuing and shall survive any termination of this
Agreement.

            SECTION 12.04 COSTS AND EXPENSES. (a) In addition to the rights of
indemnification granted under this Agreement, the Seller agrees to pay on demand
all costs and expenses in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery
and administration (including periodic auditing of Receivables by an independent
accounting firm pursuant to SECTION 5.01(E)) of, and searches and filings in
respect of, this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the other

demand all costs and expenses, if any (including, without limitation, reasonable
counsel fees and disbursements), of the Administrative Agent, each Owner, each
Managing Agent and any Affiliate thereof, in connection with the enforcement
(whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of this
Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the other documents and

completion, issuance, delivery or payment of commercial paper notes issued to
fund the Purchase or maintenance of any Receivable Interest.

            (c) The Seller also shall pay on demand all other costs, expenses
and taxes (excluding taxes referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of SECTION
2.12(a)) incurred by each Owner or any general or limited partner or shareholder
of each such Owner ("OTHER COSTS"), including, without limitation, (i) any and
all costs relating to all arrangements contemplated

                                       90
<Page>

hereby with any of the Lock-Box Banks, (ii) the costs of auditing each Owner's
books by certified public accountants and of rating each Owner's commercial
paper notes by independent financial rating agencies, PROVIDED, that the Seller
shall only be obligated to pay such rating agency costs which are incurred in
connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this
Agreement, (iii) the taxes (excluding taxes referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and
(iii) of SECTION 2.12 (all resulting from each Owner's operations, and (iv) the
reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for each Owner or any counsel for
any general or limited partner or shareholder of each Owner with respect to
advising such Owner or any general or limited partner or shareholder of such
Owner as to its rights and remedies under this Agreement, the other Transaction
Documents and the agreements and documents entered into in connection herewith
or therewith, the enforcement of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents
and the agreements and documents entered into in connection herewith or
therewith, or advising as to matters relating to such Owner's operations, or
advising such Owner or any general or limited partner or shareholder of such
Owner as to the issuance of such Owner's commercial paper notes and acting in
connection with such issuance; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if any Owner enters into
agreements for the purchase of interests in receivables from one or more other
Persons ("Other Sellers"), the Seller and such Other Sellers shall each be
liable for such Other Costs ratably in accordance with the usage under the
respective facilities of such Owner to purchase receivables or interests therein
from the Seller and each Other Seller; and PROVIDED FURTHER, that if such Other
Costs are attributable to the Seller and not attributable to any Other Seller,
the Seller shall be solely liable for such Other Costs.

            SECTION 12.05 NON-BUSINESS DAYS. In any case where any payment or
action is due under this Agreement on a day which is not a Business Day, such
payment or action may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, but such
extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment
of interest, Yield, Liquidation Yield/Fee or fees, as the case may be, for
purposes of the applicable accrual period, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, if such
extension would cause payment in respect of Capital or Yield for Receivable
Interests for which Yield is computed by reference to the Assignee Rate to be
made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the
next preceding Business Day.

            SECTION 12.06 NO PROCEEDINGS. (a) Each of the Seller, WORLDCOM,
the Administrative Agent, each Managing Agent and each Purchaser hereby agree
that they will not institute against or join or assist any Person in instituting
against, any other Purchaser any proceeding of the type referred to in SECTION
7.01(G) so long as any commercial paper notes issued by such other Purchaser
shall be outstanding or there shall not have elapsed one year plus one day since
the last day on which any such commercial paper notes shall have been
outstanding.

            (b) Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that they will not
institute against the Seller any proceeding of the type referred to in SECTION
7.01(G).

            SECTION 12.07 OBLIGATIONS OF THE PURCHASERS; NO RECOURSE. Anything
herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of each Purchaser under
this Agreement and all other Transaction Documents are solely the business
entity obligations of such Purchaser and shall be payable solely from the assets
of such Purchaser in excess of funds necessary to pay matured and maturing
commercial paper notes issued by such Purchaser. No recourse shall be

                                       91
<Page>

had for the payment of any amount owing by any Purchaser under this Agreement,
or for the payment by any Purchaser of any fee in respect hereof or any other
obligation or claim of or against any Purchaser arising out of or based on this
Agreement, against any stockholder, employee, officer, director or incorporator
of any such Purchaser.

each of the parties hereto agrees that the disclosure of this Agreement, the
Receivables Contribution and Sale Agreement, the Consent and Agreement, the Fee
Letters or other information required to be made by or pursuant to court order
or subpoena will not be made until the other parties hereto have been notified

notification is prohibited by applicable law or such court order or subpoena.

            SECTION 12.09 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY,
AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

            SECTION 12.10 CONSENT TO JURISDICTION, ETC. (a) Each of the
parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and
its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or
Federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City, and any
appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or
relating to this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents to which it
is a party, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the
parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in
respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such
New York State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court.
Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that service of process in any such
action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a summons and complaint to it at
its address specified in SECTION 12.02 by registered mail, return receipt
requested, or in any other manner permitted by applicable law. Each of the
parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding

                                       92
<Page>

            (b) Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally
waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any
objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action
or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the other
Transaction Documents to which it is a party in any New York State or Federal
court. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance
of such action or proceeding in any such court.

            SECTION 12.11 EXECUTION IN COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be
executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be
deemed to be an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute
one and the same agreement. Delivery by telecopier of an executed counterpart of
a signature page to this Agreement shall be effective as delivery of an original
executed counterpart of this Agreement.

            SECTION 12.12 INTENT OF THE PARTIES. (a) It is the intention of
the parties hereto that each Purchase and reinvestment shall convey to each
Owner, to the extent of its Receivable Interests, an undivided ownership
interest in the Pool Receivables and the Related Security and Collections in
respect thereof and that such transaction shall constitute a purchase and sale
and not a secured loan. If, notwithstanding such intention, the conveyance of
the Receivable Interests from the Seller to the Administrative Agent for the
benefit of any Owner shall ever be recharacterized as a secured loan and not a
sale, it is the intention of the parties hereto that this Agreement shall
constitute a security agreement under applicable law, and that the Seller shall
be deemed to have granted to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of such
Owner, to the extent of said Owner's Receivable Interests, a duly perfected
first priority security interest in all of the Seller's right, title and
interest in, to and under the Pool Receivables, whether now owned or hereafter
acquired, and the Related Security and Collections with respect thereto from
time to time and all cash and non-cash proceeds in respect thereof, free and
clear of Adverse Claims. For such purpose, the Seller hereby grants to the
Administrative Agent for the benefit of each Owner, to the extent of such
Owner's Receivable Interests, a duly perfected first priority security interest
in all of the Seller's right, title and interest in, to and under the Pool
Receivables, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, and the Related Security
and Collections with respect thereto from time to time and all cash and non-cash
proceeds in respect thereof.

            (b) Notwithstanding SECTION 12.12(A) or any other provision of this
Agreement, the parties hereto agree to treat the transfers of Receivable
Interests described herein as secured financing for all federal, state and local
tax purposes.

            SECTION 12.13 ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement and the other
Transaction Documents contain a final and complete integration of all prior
expressions by the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and
shall constitute the entire agreement and understanding among the parties hereto
with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and
understandings, written or oral, relating to the subject matter hereof.

            SECTION 12.14 SEVERABILITY OF PROVISIONS. Any provision of this
Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to
such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or
unenforceability without invalidating the

                                       93
<Page>

remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such
provision in any other jurisdiction.

            SECTION 12.15 AMENDMENT, RESTATEMENT AND CONSENT. (a) This
Agreement amends and restates in its entirety the Second A&R Agreement. Upon the
effectiveness of this Agreement, the terms and provisions of the Second A&R
Agreement shall, subject to this SECTION 12.15, be superseded hereby.
Notwithstanding the amendment and restatement of the Second A&R Agreement by
this Agreement, the Seller and the Servicer shall continue to be liable to the
Administrative Agent, the Managing Agents, the Purchasers and the other Owners
with respect to agreements on the part of the Seller and the Servicer under the
Second A&R Agreement to indemnify any of the Administrative Agent, the Managing
Agents, the Purchasers and the other Owners in connection with events or
conditions arising or existing prior to the date hereof. This Agreement is given
in substitution for the Second A&R Agreement. Upon the effectiveness of this
Agreement, each reference to the Original Agreement, the A&R Agreement or the
Second A&R Agreement in any other document, instrument or agreement (including,
without limitation, the Certificates) and/or delivered in connection therewith
shall mean and be a reference to this Agreement. This Agreement is not a
novation. Nothing contained herein or in any of the other Transaction Documents,
unless expressly herein or therein stated to the contrary, is intended to amend,
modify or otherwise affect any other instrument, document or agreement executed
and/or delivered in connection with the Original Agreement, the A&R Agreement or
the Second A&R Agreement. All amounts outstanding under the Original Agreement,
the A&R Agreement or the Second A&R Agreement immediately prior to giving effect
to this Agreement to each Purchaser and each Managing Agent that is a party
thereto shall be deemed to be outstanding under this Agreement. Each Certificate
issued under the Original Agreement, the A&R Agreement or the Second A&R
Agreement and outstanding immediately prior to giving effect to this Agreement
shall be deemed to be a Certificate hereunder.

            (b) The Seller, the Administrative Agent, Bank One, and each
Purchaser that holds a Certificate as defined in, and issued under, the Original
Agreement, the A&R Agreement or the Second A&R Agreement hereby agree that each
such Certificate is, effective upon the effectiveness of this Agreement and on
and after the date hereof, hereby amended by deleting, in the first paragraph of
each such Certificate, the parenthetical phrase, "(the "ADMINISTRATIVE Agent")".

            (c) Each of the parties hereto consents to the amendment and
restatement of the Receivables Contribution and Sale Agreement in the form of
Exhibit F hereto.

            SECTION 12.16 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. Each of the parties hereto
irrevocably waives all right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or
counterclaim (whether based on contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of or
relating to this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, the
Purchases or the actions of the Administrative Agent, any Managing Agent or any
other Indemnified Party in the negotiation, administration, performance or
enforcement hereof or thereof.

<Page>

       liabilities, including, without limitation, contingent liabilities, of
       such Person, (b) the present fair salable value of the assets of such
       Person is not less than the amount that will be required to pay the
       probable liability of such Person on its debts as they become absolute

       business or a transaction, for which such Person's property would
       constitute an unreasonably small capital. The amount of contingent
       liabilities at any time shall be computed as the amount that, in the
       light of all the facts and circumstances existing at such time,
       represents the amount that can reasonably be expected to become an actual
       or matured liability.

       Obligor from time to time (including, without limitation, the terms and
       conditions affecting the creation, billing, payment and collections of
       Receivables) within the jurisdictional boundaries of any such government

                                   ARTICLE II
                           SALE OF SELLER RECEIVABLES

       SECTION 2.01. SALE OF SELLER RECEIVABLES. (a) Each Seller hereby sells,
transfers and assigns to the Buyer, without recourse subject to the terms and
conditions specifically set forth herein, and the Buyer hereby purchases, on the
terms and subject to the conditions specifically set forth herein, all such
Seller's right, title and interest in, to and under all Seller Receivables
existing on the date hereof and hereafter created from time to time until the
Termination Date, all Related Security and Collections with respect thereto and
all proceeds of the foregoing, together with all of such Seller's Rights with
respect to such Seller Receivables (collectively, the "RECEIVABLE ASSETS").

       (b) The parties to this Agreement intend that the transactions
contemplated hereby shall be, and shall be treated as, a purchase by the Buyer
and a sale by each Seller, of Receivable Assets and not as a lending
transaction. The foregoing sales, transfers, assignments and/or contributions do
not constitute and are not intended to result in a creation or assumption by the
Buyer of any obligation or liability with respect to any Seller Receivable or
Contract, nor shall the Buyer be obligated to perform or otherwise be
responsible for any obligation of any Seller or any other Person in connection
with any Receivable Assets or under any agreement or instrument relating
thereto.

       (c) In connection with the foregoing sales, transfers, assignments and/or
contributions, each of the Sellers agrees to record and file, at its own
expense, proper financing statements (and proper continuation statements with
respect to such financing statements when applicable) with respect to the
Receivable Assets now and hereafter from time to time acquired by the Buyer
under this Agreement, in such manner and in such jurisdictions as are reasonably
necessary to perfect the sales, transfers, assignments and/or contributions of
the Receivable Assets to the Buyer hereunder, and to deliver executed copies of
such financing statements to the Buyer and the Administrative Agent on or prior
to the initial Purchase under either Purchase Agreement. Such financing
statements shall name each of the Sellers as debtor/seller, the Buyer as secured
party/buyer and the Administrative Agent as assignee.

       SECTION 2.02. TERMS OF SALES. (a) On the date hereof, the Buyer does
accept from each Seller, and each Seller does sell, transfer and assign to the
Buyer, such Seller's right, title and interest in, to and under those Receivable
Assets that are outstanding on the date hereof. As consideration for such sales,
transfers and assignments of Receivable Assets on the date hereof the Buyer
shall pay (or cause to be paid) to each Seller on the date hereof an amount
(such Seller's "INITIAL PURCHASE PRICE") equal to the product of (i) the
aggregate Outstanding Balance on the date hereof of Seller Receivables purchased
from such Seller and outstanding on the date hereof and (ii) the Discount
Percentage applicable to such Seller Receivables on the date hereof. On the date
hereof the Buyer shall pay to such Sellers as part of the total Initial Purchase
Price paid to such Sellers the total amount which the Purchasers shall pay to
the Buyer in Capital for the Purchases under the Receivables Purchase Agreement
relating to such Seller Receivables. To the extent that such amount is not
sufficient to enable the Buyer to pay the Initial Purchase Price due to any such
Seller or Sellers hereunder, the Buyer shall on the date hereof pay to such

<Page>

Seller or Sellers the Initial Purchase Price due to such Seller or Sellers in a
manner set forth in subsection (c) of this SECTION 2.02.

       (b) On each Business Day after the date hereof until the Termination
Date, the Buyer shall accept from each Seller, and each Seller shall sell,
transfer and assign to the Buyer, such Seller's right, title and interest in, to
and under those of its Receivable Assets that are created on such Business Day.
As consideration for such continuing sale and assignment of Receivable Assets
after the date hereof, the Buyer shall pay (or cause to be paid) to such Seller
on or before each Settlement Date an amount (such Seller's "PURCHASE PRICE")
equal to the product of (i) the aggregate Outstanding Balance of Seller
Receivables that are newly created from time to time during the Settlement
Period ending on or immediately preceding such Settlement Date and (ii) the
Discount Percentage applicable to such Seller Receivables at the time of such
sale and assignment.

       (c) On each Settlement Date after the date hereof, each Seller's Purchase
Price for Receivable Assets sold by such Seller during the Settlement Period
ending on or immediately preceding such Settlement Date shall be determined in
the Monthly Report and shall be paid by the Buyer. Each Seller's Purchase Price
to be so paid on such Settlement Date by the Buyer to such Seller, and the
balance, if any, of each Seller's Initial Purchase Price due to such Seller to
be so paid by the Buyer on the date hereof in accordance with the last sentence
of subsection (a) of this Section 2.02, shall be paid in any of the following
ways:

              (i) in cash paid to such Seller in U.S. dollars in same day funds
       on or before such Settlement Date or the date hereof, as the case may be;
       or

              (ii) upon the agreement of such Seller and the Buyer, by means of
       indebtedness owed by the Buyer to such Seller evidenced by, and payable
       with interest pursuant to, the Subordinated Note payable to the order of
       such Seller; or

              (iii) a combination of any of the above;

       PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Buyer may not make any payment in respect of
       any such Purchase Price or Initial Purchase Price by means of
       indebtedness owed by the Buyer to such Seller evidenced by a Subordinated
       Note as contemplated by clause (ii) above unless, both before and after
       giving effect to the incurrence of such indebtedness, the total equity
       capital of the Buyer is at least 3% of the then aggregate Outstanding
       Balance of the then existing Seller Receivables (including such
       Receivable Assets).

       SECTION 2.03. GENERAL SETTLEMENT PROCEDURES. (a) If on any day any of the
representations or warranties in Section 3.01(f) is no longer true with respect
to any Seller Receivable, the Seller to which such Seller Receivable shall have
been originally owed shall be deemed to have received on such date a Collection
in full of such Seller Receivable and shall make the payment required to be made
by it in connection with such Collection on the day required by, and otherwise
pursuant to, Section 4.01(i). Except as otherwise required by law or the
underlying Contract, all Collections received from an Obligor of any Receivable
shall be applied to Receivables then outstanding of such Obligor in the order of
the age of such

<Page>

Receivables, starting with the oldest such Receivable, except if payment is
designated by such Obligor for application to specific Receivables.

       (b) On or prior to the day the Servicer is required to make a deposit
with respect to a Settlement Period pursuant to Section 2.05 or 2.06 of either
Purchase Agreement, the Buyer's Servicer shall advise the Buyer and the
Administrative Agent of each Liquidation Day and each Provisional Liquidation
Day occurring during such Settlement Period and the allocation of the amount of
such deposit to each outstanding Receivable Interest.

       (c) At least two Business Days before each Settlement Date, the Buyer's
Servicer shall prepare and forward to the Buyer and the Administrative Agent a
Monthly Report, certified by a senior financial officer (which for this purpose
shall include any of the Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer, Assistant Treasurer
or Controller) of the Buyer's Servicer, as of the close of business of the
Buyer's Servicer on the last day of the immediately preceding Settlement Period,
relating to the Receivable Assets during such Settlement Period and setting
forth the calculation of the actual Purchase Price for each Receivable Asset
sold, transferred and assigned during such Settlement Period, and the
reconciliation of how the Purchase Price has been paid reflecting the cash
advanced from the Buyer to each Seller during such Settlement Period, the
adjustments to and current balance, if any, due from the Buyer to each Seller
under its Subordinated Note, and the amount of additional cash, if any, to be
paid by the Buyer to each Seller on such Settlement Date.

       SECTION 2.04. PAYMENTS AND COMPUTATIONS, ETC. (a) All amounts to be paid
or deposited by any Seller or the Buyer's Servicer hereunder shall be paid or
deposited in accordance with the terms hereof no later than 12:00 noon (New York
City time) on the day when due in lawful money of the United States in same day
funds to the Buyer as directed by the Buyer to such Seller or the Buyer's
Servicer in writing. Each Seller shall, to the extent permitted by law, pay to
the Buyer interest on all amounts not paid or deposited when due hereunder at 2%
per annum above the Alternate Base Rate in effect from time to time, payable on
demand; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such interest rate shall not at any time exceed
the maximum rate permitted by applicable law.

       (b) All computations of interest and fees hereunder shall be made on the
basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first
but excluding the last day) elapsed.

       (c) Each Seller hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives and
relinquishes to the fullest extent it may legally do so (i) any express or
implied vendor's lien, and any other lien, security interest, charge or
encumbrance, which would otherwise be imposed on or affect any Seller Receivable
or any Receivable Asset on account of any unpaid amount of such Seller's Initial
Purchase Price or any Purchase Price therefor or on account of any other unpaid
amounts otherwise payable by the Buyer under or in connection with this
Agreement or the Subordinated Note payable to the order of such Seller or
otherwise and (ii) with respect to the obligations of such Seller to make
payments or deposits under this Agreement (including, without limitation,
payments under Sections 2.03 and 6.01), any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment,
defense and other right or claim which such Seller may have against the Buyer as
a result of or arising out of the failure of the Buyer to pay any amount on
account of such Seller's

<Page>

Initial Purchase Price or any Purchase Price under Sections 2.01 and 2.02 or any
other amount payable by the Buyer to such Seller under this Agreement or the
Subordinated Note payable to the order of such Seller or otherwise.

       SECTION 2.05. BUYER'S SERVICER FEE. The Buyer shall pay to the Buyer's
Servicer a collection fee (the "BUYER'S SERVICER FEE") from the date hereof
until the Termination Date, payable on each Settlement Date, in an amount equal
to the amount payable to the Servicer under the Purchase Agreements or such
other amount calculated on an arm's-length basis for services performed as a
subcontractor on terms common to collection agency arrangements in comparable
asset sale transactions; provided, however, that the Buyer shall be given a
credit against the Buyer's Servicer Fee payable under this Agreement equal to
the full amount of the Servicer Fee paid under the Purchase Agreements.

                                  ARTICLE III
                         REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

       SECTION 3.01. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SELLERS. Each Seller
represents and warrants as follows:

              (a) Such Seller is a corporation duly incorporated, validly
       existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
       incorporation. Except where failure could not be a Material Adverse
       Event, such Seller (a) is duly qualified to transact business and is in
       good standing in each jurisdiction where the nature and extent of its
       business and properties require the same, and (b) possesses all requisite
       authority, power, licenses, approvals, permits, Authorizations, and
       franchises to use its assets and conduct its business as is now being, or

       Authorizations of the FCC and any applicable PUC necessary to conduct its
       business, and all such Authorizations are in full force and effect,
       without conditions, except such conditions as are generally applicable to
       holders of such Authorizations.

              (b) The execution, delivery and performance by such Seller of each
       of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a
       party, and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including
       the use of the proceeds of the sales, transfers and assignments of
       Receivable Assets by such Seller hereunder, are within the powers of such
       Seller, have been duly authorized by all necessary action, do not (i)
       contravene the organizational documents of such Seller, (ii) violate any
       law, rule, regulation, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree,
       determination or award binding on or affecting such Seller or any of its
       properties or (iii) breach or result in a default under, or result in the
       acceleration of (or entitle any party to accelerate) the maturity of any
       obligation of such Seller under, or result in or require the creation of
       any Adverse Claim upon any property of such Seller pursuant to the terms
       of, any Contract, credit or loan agreement, or any other agreement or
       instrument (other than any Transaction Document) binding on or affecting
       such Seller or any of its properties.

<Page>

              (c) No authorization or approval or other action by, and no notice
       to or filing with, any Governmental Authority is required for the due
       execution, delivery and performance by such Seller of this Agreement or
       any of the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, or for the
       perfection of or the exercise by any Indemnified Party of its rights and
       remedies under this Agreement or such other Transaction Document, except
       for the filings of the financing statements referred to in Section
       2.01(d).

              (d) This Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which
       such Seller is a party have been duly executed and delivered by such
       Seller. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which such
       Seller is a party are the legal, valid and binding obligations of such
       Seller, enforceable against such Seller in accordance with their
       respective terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
       moratorium or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally
       and to general equitable principles.

              (e) There is no pending or, to the knowledge of such Seller,
       threatened action, suit or proceeding affecting such Seller before any
       court, governmental agency or arbitrator or other Governmental Authority
       that, if determined adversely to such Seller, could be a Material Adverse
       Event or that purports to affect the legality, validity or enforceability
       of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which such Seller
       is a party.

              (f) On the date of each sale, transfer, assignment and/or
       contribution by such Seller of Seller Receivables hereunder, such Seller
       Receivables constitute Eligible Receivables (except that no
       representation or warranty is made as to any dispute, offset,
       counterclaim or defense in respect of such Seller Receivables arising
       after the date of the sale, transfer, assignment and/or contribution

       or any Receivable Assets is on file in any recording office, except those
       filed in favor of the Buyer and the Administrative Agent relating to this
       Agreement or in favor of the Administrative Agent and relating to the
       Purchase Agreements.

              (g) No proceeds of any sale, transfer, assignment and/or
       contribution by such Seller of any Seller Receivable hereunder will be
       used to acquire any security in any transaction which is subject to
       Sections 13 and 14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or
       for any purpose that would violate Regulations T, U or X of the Board of
       Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

              (h) Each Monthly Report, Weekly Report and Daily Report (in each
       case if prepared by such Seller or one of its Affiliates, or to the
       extent that information contained therein is supplied by such Seller or
       any Affiliate thereof), and each information, exhibit,

<Page>

       financial statement, or other report or document furnished or to be
       furnished at any time by or on behalf of such Seller to the Buyer or any
       Managing Agent or any Group Managing Agent or the Administrative Agent or
       any Owner in connection with this Agreement or either Purchase Agreement,
       is or will be accurate in all material respects as of its date or as of
       the date so furnished, and no such report or document contains, or will
       contain, as of its date of delivery or the date so furnished, any untrue
       statement of a material fact or omits to state, or will omit to state, as
       of its date of delivery or the date so furnished, a material fact
       necessary in order to make the statements contained therein, in the light
       of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

              (i) The principal place of business, federal employer's
       identification number and chief executive office of such Seller and the
       office where each such Seller keeps its Records concerning the Receivable
       Assets are located at the address specified for such Seller in Schedule
       III hereto (or, by notice to the Buyer and the Administrative Agent in
       accordance with Section 4.01(e), at such other locations in
       jurisdictions, within the United States, where all actions required by
       Section 5.04(a) have been taken and completed).

              (j) The names and addresses of all the Lock-Box Banks, together
       with the lock-box numbers related to, and the account numbers and owners
       (any Seller or the Buyer, as the case may be) of the Lock-Box Accounts at
       such Lock-Box Banks, are specified in Schedule I hereto (or such other
       Lock-Box Banks and/or such other Lock-Box Accounts as have been notified
       to the Buyer and the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section
       4.02(d)), SUBJECT, HOWEVER, to the provisions of Section 4.01(k).

              (k) Such Seller has not changed its name during the four-month
       period prior to the date hereof, and has no tradenames, fictitious names,
       assumed names or "doing business as" names.

              (l) The Initial Purchase Price payable to such Seller on the date
       hereof pursuant to Section 2.02(a) for the Receivable Assets of such
       Seller outstanding on the date hereof, and the Purchase Price payable on
       each Settlement Date pursuant to Section 2.02(b) for the Receivable
       Assets of such Seller created after the date hereof, in each case
       constitutes fair consideration and approximates fair market value for
       such Receivable Assets, and the terms and conditions (including, without
       limitation, such Initial Purchase Price or Purchase Price, as applicable,
       therefor) of the sale, transfer and assignment of such Receivable Assets
       pursuant to Sections 2.01 and 2.02 reasonably approximate an arm's-length
       transaction between unaffiliated parties. No such sale, transfer or
       assignment has been made for or on account of an antecedent debt owed by
       such Seller to the Buyer and no such sale, transfer or assignment is or
       may be voidable or subject to avoidance under any section of the U.S.
       Bankruptcy Code.

              (m) Except for instances in which an extension has been granted by
       the relevant taxing authority, such Seller has filed, or caused to be
       filed or be included in, all tax reports and returns (federal, state,
       local and foreign), if any, required to be filed by it and paid, or
       caused to be paid, all amounts of taxes, including interest and
       penalties, required to be paid by it, except for such taxes (i) as are
       being contested in good faith by

<Page>

       proper proceedings and (ii) against which adequate reserves shall have
       been established in accordance with and to the extent required by GAAP,
       but only so long as the proceedings referred to in clause (i) above could
       not subject the Administrative Agent or any other Indemnified Party to
       any civil or criminal penalty or liability or involve any material risk
       of the loss, sale or forfeiture of any property, rights or interests
       covered hereunder or under the Purchase Agreements.

              (n) [Intentionally Omitted]

              (o) Each purchase or other acquisition of Receivable Assets
       hereunder will constitute (i) a "current transaction" within the meaning
       of Section 3(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and (ii) a
       purchase or other acquisition of notes, drafts, acceptances, open
       accounts receivable or other obligations representing part or all of the
       sales price of merchandise, insurance or services within the meaning of
       Section 3(c)(5) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

              (p) Such Seller has fulfilled its obligations under the minimum
       funding standards of ERISA and the Code with respect to any Plan subject
       to such funding standards, and is in compliance in all material respects
       with the presently applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code, and has
       not incurred any liability to the PBGC or a Plan under Title IV of ERISA
       other than a liability to the PBGC for premiums under Section 407 of
       ERISA.

              (q) Such Seller has not sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or
       hypothecated any interest in any Receivable Assets with respect thereto
       to any Person other than as contemplated by this Agreement.

              (r) Such Seller has complied with the Credit and Collection Policy
       in all material respects and since the date of this Agreement there has
       been no change in the Credit and Collection Policy except as permitted
       hereunder.

              (s) No event has occurred which could be a Material Adverse Event.

              (t) Such Seller has not extended or modified the terms of any
       Seller Receivable or the Contract under which any such Seller Receivable
       arose, except in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy.

              (u) Except under the Collection Notices, such Seller has not
       granted any Person dominion or control of any Lock-Box Account, or the
       right to take dominion or control over any Lock-Box Account at a future
       time or upon the occurrence of a future event; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that
       this subsection (u) shall not be effective until, and it shall be
       effective at all times after, the end of the 45 days referred to in
       Section 4.01(k).

              (v) Each Seller Receivable sold or otherwise transferred hereunder
       by such Seller is effective to create, and has created, a legal, valid
       and binding obligation of the related Obligor to pay the Outstanding
       Balance of such Seller Receivable created thereunder and any accrued
       interest thereon, enforceable against such Obligor in accordance with its
       terms, except as may be limited by applicable bankruptcy,

<Page>

       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).

              (w) Such Seller is neither a "holding company" nor a "subsidiary
       holding company" of a "holding company" within the meaning of the Public
       Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended, or any successor
       statute. Such Seller is not an "investment company" within the meaning of
       the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or any successor statute.

              (c) CHANGE IN BUSINESS OR CREDIT AND COLLECTION POLICY. Make any
       change in the character of its business or in the Credit and Collection
       Policy that would, in either case, materially adversely affect the

       payments to another Lock-Box Agreement that shall be subject to a then
       existing Collection Notice), unless the Administrative Agent shall have
       received at least 20 days' prior written notice of such addition,
       termination or change and shall have received, with respect to each new
       Lock-Box Account, a Collection Notice executed by the Lock-Box Bank that
       maintains such Lock-Box Account and the owner of such Lock-Box Account
       (that is, WORLDCOM or a Seller, as the case may be).

              (e) DEPOSITS TO LOCK-BOX ACCOUNTS. Deposit or otherwise credit, or

       that are inadvertently paid or transferred into any Lock-Box Account and
       are removed by such Seller or the Buyer's Servicer from such Lock-Box
       Account as soon as possible, but in any event no later than two Business
       Days, after such Seller or the Buyer's Servicer shall have knowledge of
       such payment or transfer.

              (f) CHANGE OF NAME, ETC. Change its name, identity, form of legal
       structure or jurisdiction or organization, unless, at least five Business
       Days prior to the effective date of any such change, such Seller delivers

       such Seller necessary to reflect such change and to continue the
       perfection of the Buyer's ownership interests in the Receivable Assets
       sold, transferred and assigned hereunder, (ii) if the identity or
       structure of such Seller has changed and such change adversely affects
       the rights of the Administrative Agent under

<Page>

       then existing Collection Notices with such Seller to take control of the
       Lock-Box Accounts pursuant to Section 5.02(a), new Collection Notices
       executed by such Seller and the Lock-Box Banks to the extent necessary to
       reflect such change and to continue to enable the Administrative Agent to
       exercise such rights, and (iii) all other instruments and other documents
       reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in connection with such
       change.

       of Receivable Assets by such Seller to the Buyer.

              (h) MERGERS, ETC. Enter into a transaction of consolidation or
       merger with any Person unless (i) before and after giving effect on a pro
       forma basis to such consolidation or merger, no event shall have occurred
       and be continuing, or would result from such consolidation or merger,
       that constitutes an Event of Termination or Potential Event of
       Termination and (ii) such Person is not the Buyer and either (A) such
       Seller shall survive such consolidation or merger or (B) such other
       corporation or entity formed by such consolidation or into which such
       Seller shall be merged shall assume, in a writing on terms reasonably
       satisfactory to the Buyer and the Managing Agents, all of the applicable,
       rights, obligations and liabilities of such Seller under the Transaction

       or documents delivered or to be delivered thereunder.

              (i) MAINTENANCE OF SEPARATE EXISTENCE. Take any action, or omit to
       take any action, if the effect is to cause the Buyer to fail to perform
       or observe in any material respect the covenants contained in Sections

       cause the Buyer not to be considered as a legal entity separate and

the Obligor of each Seller Receivable, at any time upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of any Event of Termination and at the expense of the
Seller to which such Seller Receivable shall have been originally owed of the
Buyer's interest in such Seller Receivable and the ownership of Receivable
Interests by the Owners. The Administrative Agent may, with the consent of the
Majority Managing Agents or the Majority Purchaser Groups, and shall, at the
request of the Majority Managing Agents or the Majority Purchaser Groups, at any
time execute and date, and deliver to the Lock-Box Banks, the Lock-Box Notices
referred to in the Collection Notices. Each Seller hereby, when the
Administrative Agent shall deliver the Lock-Box Notices to the Lock-Box Banks,
transfers to the Administrative Agent the exclusive ownership, dominion and
control of the Lock-Box Accounts to which the Obligors of Pool Receivables shall
make payments, and shall take any further action that the Administrative Agent
may reasonably request to effect such transfer.

       (b) At any time following the designation of a Servicer other than
WORLDCOM pursuant to Section 6.01 of either Purchase Agreement:

              First: Each of the Buyer and the Administrative Agent acting
       together or alone may, and the Administrative Agent shall at the request
       of the Majority Managing Agents or the Majority Purchaser Groups, at the
       expense of the respective Sellers to which the respective Seller
       Receivables shall have been originally owed, direct the Obligors of
       Seller Receivables, or any of them, to make payment of all amounts due or
       to become due to any Seller under Seller Receivables directly to the
       Administrative Agent or its designee.

              Second: Each Seller and WORLDCOM each shall, at the Buyer's or the
       Administrative Agent's request and at the expense of such Seller and
       WORLDCOM, give notice of the Owners' ownership to such Obligors and
       direct them to make such payments directly to the Administrative Agent or
       its designee.

              Third: Each Seller and WORLDCOM each shall, at the Buyer's or the
       Administrative Agent's request (in the case of the Administrative Agent,
       at its election or at the request of the Majority Managing Agents or the
       Majority Purchaser Groups) and at the expense of such Seller and
       WORLDCOM, (A) assemble all of the Records that evidence or relate to the
       Receivable Assets, and shall make the same available to the
       Administrative Agent at a place selected by the Administrative Agent or
       its designee, and (B) segregate all cash, checks and other instruments
       received by it from time to time constituting Collections of Seller
       Receivables in a manner acceptable to the Administrative Agent and,
       promptly upon receipt, remit all such cash, checks and instruments, duly
       endorsed or with duly executed instruments of transfer, to the
       Administrative Agent or its designee.

              Fourth: The Administrative Agent may at its election, and shall at
       the request of the Majority Managing Agents or the Majority Purchaser
       Groups, take any and all commercially reasonable steps in the name of any
       Seller or WORLDCOM and on behalf of such Seller, the Buyer and the Owners
       that are necessary or desirable, in the

<Page>

       determination of the Administrative Agent, to collect amounts due under
       the Seller Receivables, including, without limitation, endorsing the name
       of such Seller or WORLDCOM on checks and other instruments representing
       Collections of Seller Receivables, enforcing the Seller Receivables and
       the Related Security and related Contracts, and adjusting, settling or
       compromising the amount or payment thereof, in the same manner and to the
       same extent as such Seller or WORLDCOM might have done.

       SECTION 5.03. RESPONSIBILITIES OF EACH SELLER. Anything herein to the
contrary notwithstanding:

              (a) Each Seller shall perform its obligations under the Contracts
       related to the Seller Receivables to the same extent as if the Receivable
       Assets had not been sold and the exercise by the Buyer or the
       Administrative Agent of its rights hereunder shall not release the
       Buyer's Servicer or such Seller from any of their respective duties or
       obligations with respect to any Seller Receivables or under the related
       Contracts; and

              (b) Neither the Buyer nor the Administrative Agent nor the
       Managing Agents nor the Owners nor any other Indemnified Party shall have
       any obligation or liability with respect to any Seller Receivables or
       related Contracts, nor shall any of them be obligated to perform any of
       the obligations of any Seller thereunder.

       SECTION 5.04. FURTHER ACTIONS EVIDENCING PURCHASES. (a) Each Seller
agrees that from time to time, at its expense, it will promptly execute and
deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that
may be necessary or desirable, or that the Buyer or the Administrative Agent
may, or that the Administrative Agent shall at the request of the Majority
Managing Agents or the Majority Purchaser Groups, reasonably request, in order
to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the sale, transfer and assignment of
Receivable Assets by such Seller to the Buyer hereunder and the Receivable
Interests purchased by the Owners under the Purchase Agreements, in each case
free and clear of any Adverse Claim other than Adverse Claims contemplated by
the Transaction Documents, or to enable any of them or the Administrative Agent
to exercise and enforce their respective rights and remedies hereunder or under
the Purchase Agreements. Without limiting the foregoing, each Seller and (in the
case of clause (ii) below) the Buyer's Servicer will, upon the reasonable
request of the Buyer or the Administrative Agent, (i) execute and file such
financing or continuation statements or amendments thereto, and such other
instruments and documents, that may be necessary, or that the Buyer or the
Administrative Agent may, or that the Administrative Agent shall at the request
of the Majority Managing Agents or the Majority Purchaser Groups, reasonably
request, in order to perfect, protect or evidence such sales, transfers and
assignments of the Seller Receivables and the Receivable Interests and (ii) upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Termination or
Potential Event of Termination, and at the request of the Administrative Agent,
provide Records with respect to the Seller Receivables and the related Contracts
to the Administrative Agent.

       (b) Each Seller hereby authorizes each of the Buyer and the
Administrative Agent acting together or alone (upon prior written notice to such
Seller, except in the case of filing continuation statements) to file one or
more financing or continuation statements and amendments thereto relating to all
or any of the Receivable Assets without the signature of such

<Page>

Seller where permitted by law. A photocopy or other reproduction of this
Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement where permitted by law.

       (c) If WORLDCOM in its capacity as Buyer's Servicer or any Seller fails
to perform any of its obligations hereunder, the Buyer or the Administrative
Agent may itself perform, or cause performance of, such obligation; and the
reasonable costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent or the Buyer incurred
in connection therewith shall be payable by each of WORLDCOM or such Seller
under Section 6.01 or 7.04, as applicable.

       SECTION 5.05. INSTRUCTIONS BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT CONTROL. Anything
contained in this Article V to the contrary notwithstanding, if and so long as
either or both the Purchase Agreements is in effect or any Capital, Yield or
other amount payable thereunder or in connection therewith remains unpaid, then
as between the Administrative Agent and the Buyer, only the Administrative Agent
(and not the Buyer) shall have the right to make requests, to deliver notices
and otherwise to exercise the Rights and authorizations contemplated in this
Article V. Nothing contained in this Section 5.05 is intended to limit the
Rights or authorizations of the Administrative Agent under any of the
Transaction Documents.

                                   ARTICLE VI
                                 INDEMNIFICATION

       SECTION 6.01. INDEMNITIES BY THE SELLERS. Without limiting any other
rights that any Indemnified Party may have hereunder or under any other
Transaction Document or applicable law, and whether or not any of the
transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, each Seller hereby agrees to
indemnify each Indemnified Party from and against, and hold each thereof
harmless from, any and all claims, losses, liabilities, costs and expenses of
any kind whatsoever (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees
and expenses) (all of the foregoing being collectively referred to as
"INDEMNIFIED AMOUNTS") arising out of, or resulting from, in whole or in part,
the activities of such Seller in connection herewith or with any other
Transaction Document or the use of proceeds of sales, transfers and assignments
of Receivable Assets hereunder; EXCLUDING, HOWEVER, Indemnified Amounts to the
extent resulting solely and directly from either (x) the gross negligence or
willful misconduct on the part of such Indemnified Party, or (y) the failure to
collect amounts in respect of a Seller Receivable, which is an Eligible
Receivable, to the extent such failure results from a discharge of the Obligor
with respect thereto in a proceeding in respect of such Obligor under applicable
bankruptcy laws or otherwise results from the Obligor's financial inability to
pay such amounts. Without limiting or being limited by the foregoing (other
than, and subject to, the exclusions referred to in the EXCLUDING, HOWEVER
clause above) and whether or not any of the transactions contemplated hereby are
consummated, each Seller shall pay on demand to each Indemnified Party any and
all amounts necessary to indemnify such Indemnified Party from and against any
and all Indemnified Amounts which relate to or result from, or which would not
have occurred but for, one or more of the following:

<Page>

              (i) any Receivable originally owed to such Seller becoming a
       Seller Receivable which is not at the date of its sale, transfer and
       assignment hereunder an Eligible Receivable or which thereafter ceases to
       be an Eligible Receivable;

              (ii) any representation or warranty or statement made or deemed
       made by such Seller (or any of their respective officers) under or in
       connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any
       Monthly Report, Weekly Report, Daily Report or other document delivered
       or to be delivered by such Seller in connection herewith or with any
       other Transaction Document being incorrect in any material respect when
       made or deemed made or delivered;

              (iii) the failure by such Seller to comply with any applicable
       law, rule or regulation with respect to any Seller Receivable originally
       owed to such Seller or the related Contract or any Related Security with
       respect thereto; or the failure, as a result of any action or omission of
       such Seller of any such Seller Receivable or the related Contract or any
       Related Security with respect thereto to conform to any such applicable
       law, rule or regulation;

              (iv) the failure by any action or inaction of such Seller to vest
       in the Buyer a first priority perfected 100% ownership interest in each
       Seller Receivable originally owed to such Seller, and the Related
       Security and Collections in respect thereof, free and clear of any
       Adverse Claim;

              (v) the failure of such Seller to have filed, or any delay by such
       Seller 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 Seller Receivable originally owed to
       such Seller, and the Related Security and Collections in respect thereof,
       whether at the time of the initial sale, transfer and assignment
       hereunder or at any subsequent time, unless such failure results directly
       and solely from the Administrative Agent's failure to take appropriate
       action;

              (vi) any dispute, claim, offset or defense (other than discharge
       in bankruptcy of the Obligor) of any Obligor with or against such Seller
       to the payment of any Seller Receivable originally owed to such Seller
       based on the fact or allegation that such Receivable or the related
       Contract is not a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Obligor
       enforceable against it in accordance with its terms;

              (vii) any failure of such Seller, the Buyer's Servicer or the
       Servicer to perform its duties, obligations or covenants under and in
       accordance with this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents or to
       perform its duties or obligations under any Contract;

              (viii) any product liability, personal injury, copyright
       infringement, theft of services, property damage, or other breach of
       contract, antitrust, unfair trade practices or tortious claim arising out
       of or in connection with any action or omission of such Seller or the
       subject matter of any Contract related to any Seller Receivable
       originally owed to such Seller or out of or in connection with any
       transaction contemplated by this

<Page>

       Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any other instrument or
       document furnished pursuant hereto or such Contract;

              (ix) the commingling of Collections of Seller Receivables
       originally owed to such Seller by, or in any Lock-Box Account or any
       other deposit account of, such Seller or any of its Affiliates at any
       time with other funds;

              (x) any action or omission by such Seller, the Buyer's Servicer or
       the Servicer reducing or impairing the rights of the Buyer hereunder or
       of any Owner of a Receivable Interest under any Purchase Agreement, any
       other Transaction Document or any other instrument or document furnished
       pursuant hereto or thereto or with respect to any Seller Receivable
       originally owed to such Seller;

              (xi) any cancellation or modification of a Seller Receivable
       originally owed to such Seller, the related Contract or any Related
       Security, whether by written agreement, verbal agreement, acquiescence or
       otherwise, other than as expressly permitted by this Agreement or any
       other Transaction Document;

              (xii) (A) any investigation, litigation or proceeding related to
       or arising from this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any
       other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto, or any
       transaction contemplated by this Agreement or any Contract, or the
       ownership of, or other interest in, any Seller Receivable originally owed
       to such Seller, the related Contract or any Related Security, EXCLUDING,
       HOWEVER, Indemnified Amounts to the extent resulting from a claim of any
       Indemnified Party that does not arise out of or result from any action or
       omission of such Seller, or (B) the use by such Seller of proceeds of any
       sale, transfer and assignment of any Receivable Asset hereunder;

              (xiii) the existence of any Adverse Claim against or with respect
       to any Seller Receivable originally owed to such Seller, the related
       Contract, Related Security or Collections and resulting from any act or
       omission of such Seller, as applicable.

              (xiv) any failure by such Seller to pay when due any taxes,
       including without limitation sales, excise or personal property taxes,
       payable by such Seller in connection with any Seller Receivable
       originally owed to such Seller, or the related Contract or any Related
       Security with respect thereto;

              (xv) any claim brought by any Person other than an Indemnified
       Party arising from any activity by such Seller or any of their respective
       Affiliates (other than the Buyer) in servicing, administering or
       collecting any Seller Receivable originally owed to such Seller;

              (xvi) [Intentionally Omitted]; or

              (xvii) to the extent not covered by the foregoing clauses, the
       occurrence and continuance of any Event of Termination resulting from an
       act or omission of such Seller other than an Event of Termination arising
       under Section 7.01(i) of the Purchase Agreements.

                                  ARTICLE VII

                                 MISCELLANEOUS

       SECTION 7.01. AMENDMENTS, ETC. No amendment or waiver of any provision of
this Agreement or consent to any departure by any Seller or the Buyer therefrom
shall be effective unless in a writing and signed by the Administrative Agent
(with the consent or at the request of the Majority Managing Agents and the
Majority Purchaser Groups) and, in the case of any such waiver or consent, the
party against which the waiver or consent is to be enforced or, in the case of
any such amendment, the Buyer and each Seller, and then such amendment, waiver
or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific
purpose for which given. No failure on the part of the Buyer, any Owner, the
Administrative Agent or any Managing Agent to exercise, and no delay in
exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any
single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.

       SECTION 7.02. NOTICES, ETC. All notices and other communications
hereunder shall, unless otherwise stated herein, be in writing (including
telegraphic, telecopy or telex communication) and mailed, telegraphed,
telecopied, telexed or delivered, to each party hereto, at its address set forth
under its name on the signature pages hereof or at such other address as shall
be designated by such party in a written notice to the other parties hereto. All
such notices and communications shall, when mailed, telegraphed, telecopied or
telexed, be effective when deposited in the mails, delivered to the telegraph
company, transmitted by telecopier or confirmed by telex answerbacks,
respectively, except that notices and communications to the Buyer and the
Administrative Agent pursuant to Article II shall not be effective until
received by the Buyer and the Administrative Agent.

       SECTION 7.03. BINDING EFFECT; ASSIGNABILITY. This Agreement shall become
effective when it shall have been executed by each Seller, WORLDCOM, and the
Buyer and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent, and thereafter shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of each Seller, WORLDCOM, the Buyer, the
Administrative Agent, and each other Indemnified Party and their respective
successors and assigns, EXCEPT that no Seller shall have the right to assign its
rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written
consent of the Buyer, the Managing Agents and the Purchaser Groups, and the
Buyer shall not have the right to assign its rights or obligations hereunder or
any interest herein except pursuant to the Consent and Agreement. This Agreement
shall create and constitute the continuing obligation of the parties hereto in
accordance with its terms, and shall remain in full force and effect until the
Termination Date; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that rights and remedies with respect to
the provisions of Article VI and Sections 2.03, 7.04, 7.05 and 7.06 shall be
continuing and shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

       SECTION 7.04. COSTS, EXPENSES AND TAXES. (a) In addition to the rights of
indemnification granted under this Agreement, each Seller agrees to pay on
demand all costs and expenses in connection with the preparation, execution,
delivery and administration (including periodic auditing of Receivables by an
independent accounting firm pursuant to Section 4.01(g)) of, and searches and
filings in respect of, this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the
other documents and agreements to be delivered hereunder or thereunder,
including, without

<Page>

limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the
Administrative Agent, each Managing Agent, and each Purchaser with respect
thereto and advising the Administrative Agent, each Managing Agent and each
Purchaser as to its rights and remedies hereunder. Each Seller further agrees to
pay on demand all costs and expenses, if any (including, without limitation,
reasonable counsel fees and disbursements) of each Owner, the Administrative
Agent, each Managing Agent or any Affiliate thereof, in connection with the
enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of
this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the other instruments and
documents to be delivered in connection herewith or therewith.

       (b) In addition, each Seller agrees to pay any present or future stamp or
documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar
levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution,
delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement, any
other Transaction Document, or any other document or instrument delivered in
connection herewith or therewith (but excluding income taxes and any excise or
property taxes imposed on the Buyer's ownership of the Receivable Assets, such
non-excluded taxes being hereinafter referred to as "OTHER TAXES"). Each Seller
shall indemnify each Indemnified Party for and hold it harmless against the full
amount of Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any taxes imposed by any
jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 7.04(b)) imposed on or paid
by such Indemnified Party and any liability (including penalties, additions to
tax, interest and expenses other than those incurred as a result of actions by
such Indemnified Party constituting the gross negligence or willful misconduct
of such Indemnified Party except to the extent such actions shall have been
approved by or directed to be taken by such Seller or the Buyer's Servicer)
arising therefrom or with respect thereto whether or not such Other Taxes were
correctly or legally asserted. This indemnification shall be made within 30 days
from the date such Indemnified Party makes written demand therefor (with a copy
to the Administrative Agent).

       SECTION 7.05. NON-BUSINESS DAYS. In any case where any payment or action
is due under this Agreement on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment
or action may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, but such extension of
time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or
fees, as the case may be.

       SECTION 7.06. NO PROCEEDINGS. Each Seller and WORLDCOM each hereby agrees
that it will not institute against the Buyer or any Purchaser any proceeding of
the type referred to in Section 7.01(g) of the Receivables Purchase Agreement so
long as any commercial paper notes issued by such Purchaser shall be outstanding
or there shall not have elapsed one year plus one day since the last day on
which any such commercial paper notes shall have been outstanding.

       SECTION 7.07. CONFIDENTIALITY. Except as otherwise required by applicable
law, each of the parties hereto agrees to maintain the confidentiality of this
Agreement, the Purchase Agreements, the Consent and Agreement, the Fee Letters
(and all drafts thereof) and all non-public information delivered in connection
herewith in communications with third parties and otherwise; PROVIDED that this
Agreement, the Purchase Agreements, the Consent and Agreement, the Fee Letters
and such information may be disclosed (i) to third parties to the extent such
disclosure is made pursuant to a written confidentiality agreement in form and

<Page>

substance substantially identical to this Section 7.07, (ii) to each Seller's,
the Buyer's Servicer's, the Buyer's, the Administrative Agent's, each Managing
Agent's and each Owner's legal counsel, accountants and auditors if they agree
to hold it confidential, (iii) to any rating agency, (iv) to any regulatory
authority having jurisdiction over any Seller, the Buyer's Servicer, the Buyer,
the Administrative Agent, any Managing Agent or an Owner and (v) pursuant to
court order or subpoena; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that each of the parties hereto
agrees that the disclosure of this Agreement, either Purchase Agreement, the
Consent and Agreement, the Fee Letters or other information required to be made
by or pursuant to court order or subpoena will not be made until the other
parties hereto have been notified at least five Business Days in advance of any
such disclosure, unless such notification is prohibited by applicable law or
such court order or subpoena.

       SECTION 7.08. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

       SECTION 7.09. CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. (a) Each of the Sellers, the
Buyer's Servicer and the Buyer hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits,
for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York
State court or Federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York
City, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding
arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the other Transaction
Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition or enforcement of any
judgment, and each of the Sellers, the Buyer's Servicer and the Buyer hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such
action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such New York State
court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the
Sellers, the Buyer's Servicer and the Buyer hereby agrees that service of
process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a summons
and complaint to it at its address specified in Section 7.02 by registered mail,
return receipt requested, or in any other manner permitted by applicable law.
Each of the Sellers, the Buyer's Servicer and the Buyer agrees that a final
judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be
enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner
provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that any party
may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement
or any of the other Transaction Documents in the courts of any other
jurisdiction.

       (b) Each of the Sellers, the Buyer's Servicer and the Buyer irrevocably
and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively
do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of
any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or
any of the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party in any New York
State or Federal court. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to
the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the
maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

       SECTION 7.10. EXECUTION IN COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed
in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to
be an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the
same agreement.

<Page>

Delivery by telecopier of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this
Agreement shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of
this Agreement.

       SECTION 7.11. INTENT OF THE PARTIES, ETC. As provided in Section 2.01(b),
the parties to this Agreement intend that the transaction contemplated by this
Agreement shall be, and shall be treated as, a purchase by the Buyer and a sale
by each Seller of Receivable Assets and not as a lending transaction. It is the
intention of the parties hereto, and the parties hereto hereby agree, that this
Agreement creates in favor of the Buyer a "security interest", in the Seller
Receivables now and hereafter existing or arising from time to time, under and
within the meaning of Article 9 of the UCC as in effect in the State of New
York.

       SECTION 7.12. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents to which the parties hereto are a party contain a final and complete
integration of all prior expressions by the parties hereto with respect to the
subject matter hereof and shall constitute the entire agreement and
understanding among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof
and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, written or oral, relating
to the subject matter hereof.

       SECTION 7.13. SEVERABILITY OF PROVISIONS. Any provision of this Agreement
which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such
jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or
unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or
affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other
jurisdiction.

       SECTION 7.14. AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT. (a) This Agreement amends and
restates in its entirety the Original Receivables Contribution and Sale
Agreement. The terms and provisions of the Original Receivables Contribution and
Sale Agreement shall, subject to this Section 7.14, be superseded hereby.
Notwithstanding the amendment and restatement of the Original Receivables
Contribution and Sale Agreement by this Agreement, each Seller and the Buyer's
Servicer shall continue to be liable to the Buyer and each Indemnified Party
with respect to agreements on the part of such Seller and the Buyer's Servicer
under the Original Receivables Contribution and Sale Agreement to indemnify any
of the Buyer and each Indemnified Party in connection with events or conditions
arising or existing prior to the date hereof. This Agreement is given in
substitution for the Original Receivables Contribution and Sale Agreement. Each
reference to the Original Receivables Contribution and Sale Agreement in any
other document, instrument or agreement executed and/or delivered in connection
therewith shall mean and be a reference to this Agreement. This Agreement is not
a novation. Nothing contained herein or in any of the other Transaction
Documents, unless expressly herein or therein stated to the contrary, is
intended to amend, modify or otherwise affect any other instrument, document or
agreement executed and/or delivered in connection with the Original Receivables
Contribution and Sale Agreement. All amounts owing under the Original
Receivables Contribution and Sale Agreement immediately prior to giving effect
to this Agreement to the Buyer and each Indemnified Party that is a party
thereto shall be deemed to be owing under this Agreement.

       (b) Each Seller hereby agrees, and the Buyer hereby agrees, that,
effective as of the date hereof, the Subordinated Note payable to the order of
such Seller is amended (i) by deleting the phrase "THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF
CHICAGO, a national banking

<Page>

association ("BANK ONE"), as Administrative Agent" in the first paragraph of
such Subordinated Note and substituting for such phrase the phrase "the
administrative agent thereunder" and (ii) by deleting the phrase "BANK ONE, as
Administrative Agent" in the two places such phrase is used in the fifth
paragraph of such Subordinated Note and substituting for each such phrase the
phrase "the Administrative Agent".

       SECTION 7.15. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. Each of the parties hereto
irrevocably waives all right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or
counterclaim (whether based on contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of or
relating to this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents or the
actions of the Administrative Agent, any Managing Agent or any other Indemnified
Party in the negotiation, administration, performance or enforcement hereof or
thereof.

<Page>

       IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Agreement to be executed
by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized, as of the date first
above written.
