                           SELLER GUARANTY PROVISIONS

         SECTION 2.1. Seller Guaranty. The Guarantor hereby absolutely,
unconditionally and irrevocably (all of the following guaranteed and indemnified
obligations being collectively called the "Guaranteed Obligations")

                  (a) guarantees the full and punctual payment when due, whether
         at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration,
         demand or otherwise, of all Obligations of the Borrower now or
         hereafter existing under the Receivables Financing Agreement, the Note
         and each other Transaction Document, whether for principal, interest,
         fees, expenses or otherwise, and all other obligations of the Borrower
         to the Lenders, howsoever created, arising or evidenced, whether direct
         or indirect, absolute or contingent or now or hereafter existing or due
         or to become due (including in all cases all such amounts which would
         become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section
         362(a) of the United States Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C.ss.362(a), and
         the operation of Sections 502(b) and 506(b) of the United States
         Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C.ss.502(b) andss.506(b)), and

                  (b) indemnifies and holds harmless the Collateral Agent for
         any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees
         and expenses) incurred by the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, in
         enforcing any rights under this Seller Guaranty;

provided, however, that the aggregate liability of the Guarantor under this
Seller Guaranty shall not exceed the product of (a) the Expected Loss Percentage
times (b) the Maximum Principal Balance as of the date of any demand on this
Seller Guaranty (the "Cap"). This Seller Guaranty constitutes a guaranty of
payment when due and not of collection, and the Guarantor specifically agrees
that it shall not be necessary or required that the Collateral Agent exercise
any right, assert any claim or demand or enforce any remedy whatsoever against
the Borrower (or any other Person) before or as a condition to the obligations
of the Guarantor hereunder.

         SECTION 2.2. Acceleration of Seller Guaranty. The Guarantor agrees
that, in the event of the dissolution or insolvency of the Borrower or the
Guarantor, or the inability or failure of the Borrower or the Guarantor to pay
debts as they become due, or an assignment by the Borrower or the Guarantor for
the benefit of creditors, or the commencement of any case or proceeding in
respect of the Borrower or the Guarantor under any bankruptcy, insolvency or
similar laws, and if such event shall occur at a time when any of the Guaranteed
Obligations may not then be due and payable, the Guarantor will pay to the
Collateral Agent forthwith the full amount which would be payable hereunder by
the Guarantor if all such Guaranteed Obligations were then due and payable.

         SECTION 2.3. Seller Guaranty Absolute, etc. This Seller Guaranty shall
in all respects be a continuing, absolute, unconditional and irrevocable
guaranty of payment, and shall

<PAGE>

remain in full force and effect until all Guaranteed Obligations have been paid
in full, all obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall have been paid in full
and the Commitments of the Committed Lenders shall have terminated. The
Guarantor guarantees that the Guaranteed Obligations will be paid strictly in
accordance with the terms of the Receivables Financing Agreement and each other
Transaction Document under which they arise, regardless of any law, regulation
or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such
terms or the rights of the Collateral Agent. The liability of the Guarantor
under this Seller Guaranty shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable
irrespective of:

                  (a) any lack of validity, legality or enforceability of the
         Receivables Financing Agreement, any Note or any other Transaction
         Document;

                  (b) the failure of the Collateral Agent;

                           (i) to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any
                  right or remedy against the Borrower or any other Person
                  (including any other guarantor) under the provisions of the
                  Receivables Financing Agreement, any Note, any other
                  Transaction Document or otherwise, or

                           (ii) to exercise any right or remedy against any
                  other guarantor of, or collateral securing, any Guaranteed
                  Obligations;

                  (c) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or
         in any other term of, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any
         other extension, compromise or renewal of any Guaranteed Obligation;

                  (d) any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination of
         any Guaranteed Obligations for any reason, including any claim of
         waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be
         subject to (and the Guarantor hereby waives any right to or claim of)
         any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination
         whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality, nongenuineness,
         irregularity, compromise, unenforceability of, or any other event or
         occurrence affecting, any Guaranteed Obligations;

                  (e) any amendment to, rescission, waiver, or other
         modification of, or any consent to departure from, any of the terms of
         the Receivables Financing Agreement, any Note or any other Transaction
         Document;

                  (f) any addition, exchange, release, surrender or
         non-perfection of any collateral, or any amendment to or waiver or
         release or addition of, or consent to departure from, the MFN Guaranty
         or any other guaranty, held by the Collateral Agent securing any of the
         Guaranteed Obligations;

                  (g) any recovery or demand for recovery made under the MFN
         Guaranty; or

                  (h) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a
         defense available to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, the
         Borrower, any surety or any guarantor.

<PAGE>

         SECTION 2.4. Reinstatement, etc. The Guarantor agrees that this Seller
Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if
at any time any payment (in whole or in part) of any of the Guaranteed
Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by the Collateral Agent,
upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or otherwise,
as though such payment had not been made.

         SECTION 2.5. Waiver, etc. The Guarantor hereby waives promptness,
diligence, notice of acceptance and any other notice with respect to any of the
Guaranteed Obligations and this Seller Guaranty and any requirement that the
Collateral Agent protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or
Lien, or any property subject thereto, or exhaust any right or take any action
against the Borrower or any other Person (including any other guarantor) or
entity or any collateral securing any Guaranteed Obligations.

         SECTION 2.6. Subrogation, etc. The Guarantor will not exercise any
rights which it may acquire by reason of any payment made hereunder, whether by
way of subrogation, reimbursement or otherwise, until the prior payment, in full
and in cash, of all Guaranteed Obligations. Any amount paid to the Guarantor on
account of any payment made hereunder prior to the payment in full of all
Guaranteed Obligations shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Collateral
Agent and shall immediately be paid to the Collateral Agent and credited and
applied against the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in
accordance with the terms of the Receivables Financing Agreement (or other
agreement(s) pursuant to which such Guaranteed Obligations are outstanding);
provided, however, that if

                  (a) the Guarantor has made payment to the Collateral Agent of
         all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, and

                  (b) all Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full and the
         Commitments and other commitments of the Committed Lenders to the
         Borrower have permanently terminated,

the Collateral Agent agrees that, at the Guarantor's request, the Collateral
Agent will execute and deliver to the Guarantor appropriate documents (without
recourse and without representation or warranty) necessary to evidence the
transfer by subrogation to the Guarantor of an interest in the Guaranteed
Obligations resulting from such payment by the Guarantor. In furtherance of the
foregoing, for so long as any Guaranteed Obligations or Commitments and other
commitments of the Lenders to the Borrower remain outstanding, the Guarantor
shall refrain from taking any action or commencing any proceeding against the
Borrower (or its successors or assigns, whether in connection with a bankruptcy
proceeding or otherwise) to recover any amounts in respect of payments made
under this Seller Guaranty to the Collateral Agent.

         SECTION 2.7. Successors, Transferees and Assigns; Transfers of Notes,
etc. This Seller Guaranty shall:

                  (a) be binding upon the Guarantor, and its successors,
         transferees and assigns; and

                  (b) inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the
         Collateral Agent and each of its respective successors, transferees and
         assigns.

<PAGE>

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (b), the Collateral
Agent may assign or otherwise transfer (in whole or in part) any Note or Loan
held by it to any other Person or entity, and such other Person or entity shall
thereupon become vested with all rights and benefits in respect thereof granted
to the Collateral Agent under any Transaction Document (including this Seller
Guaranty) or otherwise, subject, however, to any contrary provisions in such
assignment or transfer, and to the provisions of Article XVI of the Receivables
Financing Agreement.

         SECTION 2.8. Joint and Several. The obligations of the Guarantor
hereunder are joint and several with the obligations of MFN under the MFN
Guaranty and in no event may the aggregate obligations of the Guarantor
hereunder and MFN under the MFN Guaranty exceed the Cap.

                                  ARTICLE III

and assigns; provided, however, that the Guarantor may not assign any of its

provision of this Seller Guaranty, nor consent to any departure by the Guarantor

effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which

                             MFN GUARANTY PROVISIONS

         SECTION 28.1. MFN Guaranty. The Guarantor hereby absolutely,
unconditionally and irrevocably (all of the following guaranteed and indemnified
obligations being collectively called the "Guaranteed Obligations")

                  (a) guarantees the full and punctual payment when due, whether
         at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration,
         demand or otherwise, of all Obligations of the Borrower now or
         hereafter existing under the Receivables Financing Agreement, the Note
         and each other Transaction Document, whether for principal, interest,
         fees, expenses or otherwise, and all other obligations of the Borrower
         to the Lenders, howsoever created, arising or evidenced, whether direct
         or indirect, absolute or contingent or now or hereafter existing or due
         or to become due (including in all cases all such amounts which would
         become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section
         362(a) of the United States Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C.ss.362(a), and
         the operation of Sections 502(b) and 506(b) of the United States
         Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C.ss.502(b) andss.506(b)), and

                  (b) indemnifies and holds harmless the Collateral Agent for
         any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees
         and expenses) incurred by the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, in
         enforcing any rights under this MFN Guaranty;

provided, however, that the aggregate liability of the Guarantor under this MFN
Guaranty shall not exceed the product of (a) the Expected Loss Percentage times
(b) the Maximum Principal Balance as of the date of any demand on this MFN
Guaranty (the "Cap"). This MFN Guaranty constitutes a guaranty of payment when
due and not of collection, and the Guarantor specifically agrees that it shall
not be necessary or required that the Collateral Agent exercise any right,
assert any claim or demand or enforce any remedy whatsoever against the Borrower
(or any other Person) before or as a condition to the obligations of the
Guarantor hereunder.

         SECTION 28.2. Acceleration of MFN Guaranty. The Guarantor agrees that,
in the event of the dissolution or insolvency of the Borrower or the Guarantor,
or the inability or failure of the Borrower or the Guarantor to pay debts as
they become due, or an assignment by the Borrower or the Guarantor for the
benefit of creditors, or the commencement of any case or proceeding in respect
of the Borrower or the Guarantor under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar
laws, and if such event shall occur at a time when any of the Guaranteed
Obligations may not then be due and payable, the Guarantor will pay to the
Collateral Agent forthwith the full amount which would be payable hereunder by
the Guarantor if all such Guaranteed Obligations were then due and payable.

<PAGE>

         SECTION 28.3. MFN Guaranty Absolute, etc. This MFN Guaranty shall in
all respects be a continuing, absolute, unconditional and irrevocable guaranty
of payment, and shall remain in full force and effect until all Guaranteed
Obligations have been paid in full, all obligations of the Guarantor hereunder
shall have been paid in full and the Commitments of the Committed Lenders shall
have terminated. The Guarantor guarantees that the Guaranteed Obligations will
be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the Receivables Financing
Agreement and each other Transaction Document under which they arise, regardless
of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction
affecting any of such terms or the rights of the Collateral Agent. The liability
of the Guarantor under this MFN Guaranty shall be absolute, unconditional and
irrevocable irrespective of:

                  (a) any lack of validity, legality or enforceability of the
         Receivables Financing Agreement, any Note or any other Transaction
         Document;

                  (b) the failure of the Collateral Agent;

                           (i) to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any
                  right or remedy against the Borrower or any other Person
                  (including any other guarantor) under the provisions of the
                  Receivables Financing Agreement, any Note, any other
                  Transaction Document or otherwise, or

                           (ii) to exercise any right or remedy against any
                  other guarantor of, or collateral securing, any Guaranteed
                  Obligations;

                  (c) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or
         in any other term of, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any
         other extension, compromise or renewal of any Guaranteed Obligation;

                  (d) any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination of
         any Guaranteed Obligations for any reason, including any claim of
         waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be
         subject to (and the Guarantor hereby waives any right to or claim of)
         any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination
         whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality, nongenuineness,
         irregularity, compromise, unenforceability of, or any other event or
         occurrence affecting, any Guaranteed Obligations;

                  (e) any amendment to, rescission, waiver, or other
         modification of, or any consent to departure from, any of the terms of
         the Receivables Financing Agreement, any Note or any other Transaction
         Document;

                  (f) any addition, exchange, release, surrender or
         non-perfection of any collateral, or any amendment to or waiver or
         release or addition of, or consent to departure from, the Seller
         Guaranty or any other guaranty, held by the Collateral Agent securing
         any of the Guaranteed Obligations;

                  (g) any recovery or demand for recovery made under the Seller
         Guaranty; or

<PAGE>

                  (h) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a
         defense available to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, the
         Borrower, any surety or any guarantor.

         SECTION 28.4. Reinstatement, etc. The Guarantor agrees that this MFN
Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if
at any time any payment (in whole or in part) of any of the Guaranteed
Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by the Collateral Agent,
upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or otherwise,
as though such payment had not been made.

         SECTION 28.5. Waiver, etc. The Guarantor hereby waives promptness,
diligence, notice of acceptance and any other notice with respect to any of the
Guaranteed Obligations and this MFN Guaranty and any requirement that the
Collateral Agent protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or
Lien, or any property subject thereto, or exhaust any right or take any action
against the Borrower or any other Person (including any other guarantor) or
entity or any collateral securing any Guaranteed Obligations.

         SECTION 28.6. Subrogation, etc. The Guarantor will not exercise any
rights which it may acquire by reason of any payment made hereunder, whether by
way of subrogation, reimbursement or otherwise, until the prior payment, in full
and in cash, of all Guaranteed Obligations without regard to the proviso in
Section 2.1. Any amount paid to the Guarantor on account of any payment made
hereunder prior to the payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations shall be
held in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and shall immediately be
paid to the Collateral Agent and credited and applied against the Guaranteed
Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the
Receivables Financing Agreement (or other agreement(s) pursuant to which such
Guaranteed Obligations are outstanding); provided, however, that if

                  (a) the Guarantor has made payment to the Collateral Agent of
         all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, and

                  (b) all Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full and the
         Commitments and other commitments of the Committed Lenders to the
         Borrower have permanently terminated,

the Collateral Agent agrees that, at the Guarantor's request, the Collateral
Agent will execute and deliver to the Guarantor appropriate documents (without
recourse and without representation or warranty) necessary to evidence the
transfer by subrogation to the Guarantor of an interest in the Guaranteed
Obligations resulting from such payment by the Guarantor. In furtherance of the
foregoing, for so long as any Guaranteed Obligations or Commitments and other
commitments of the Lenders to the Borrower remain outstanding, the Guarantor
shall refrain from taking any action or commencing any proceeding against the
Borrower (or its successors or assigns, whether in connection with a bankruptcy
proceeding or otherwise) to recover any amounts in respect of payments made
under this MFN Guaranty to the Collateral Agent.

<PAGE>

         SECTION 28.7. Successors, Transferees and Assigns; Transfers of Notes,
etc. This MFN Guaranty shall:

                  (a) be binding upon the Guarantor, and its successors,
         transferees and assigns; and

                  (b) inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the
         Collateral Agent and each of its respective successors, transferees and
         assigns.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (b), the Collateral
Agent may assign or otherwise transfer (in whole or in part) any Note or Loan
held by it to any other Person or entity, and such other Person or entity shall
thereupon become vested with all rights and benefits in respect thereof granted
to the Collateral Agent under any Transaction Document (including this MFN
Guaranty) or otherwise, subject, however, to any contrary provisions in such
assignment or transfer, and to the provisions of Article XVI of the Receivables
Financing Agreement.

         SECTION 28.8. Joint and Several Liability. The obligations of the
Guarantor hereunder are joint and several with the obligations of the Seller
under the Seller Guaranty and in no event may the aggregate obligations of the
Guarantor hereunder and the Seller under the Seller Guaranty exceed the Cap.

                                  ARTICLE XXIX

successors, transferees and assigns; provided, however, that the Guarantor may
not assign any of its obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of
the Collateral Agent.

         SECTION 29.3. Amendments, etc. No amendment to or waiver of any

and signed by the Collateral Agent, and then such waiver or consent shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which
