                    RECEIVABLES SALE AGREEMENT

                  THIS RECEIVABLES SALE AGREEMENT, dated as of June 28,2001, is
by and between AVNET, INC., a New York corporation ("Originator"), and AVNET
RECEIVABLES CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation ("Buyer"). Unless defined
elsewhere herein, capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the
meanings assigned to such terms in Exhibit I hereto (or, if not defined in
Exhibit I hereto, the meaning assigned to such term in Exhibit I to the Purchase
Agreement).

                                PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS

                  Originator now owns, and from time to time hereafter will own,
          Receivables. Originator wishes to sell and assign to Buyer, and
          Buyer wishes to purchase from Originator, all of Originator's right,
          title and interest in and to such Receivables, together with the
          Related Security and Collections with respect thereto.

                  Originator and Buyer intend the transactions contemplated
          hereby to be true sales of the Receivables from Originator to Buyer,
          providing Buyer with the full benefits of ownership of the
          Receivables, and Originator and Buyer do not intend these transactions
          to be, or for any purpose to be characterized as, loans from Buyer to
          Originator.

                  Following the purchase of Receivables from Originator, Buyer
          will sell undivided interests therein and in the associated Related
          Security and Collections pursuant to that certain Receivables Purchase
          Agreement dated as of June 28,200l (as the same may from time to time
          hereafter be amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified,
          the "Purchase Agreement") among Buyer, Originator, as Servicer,
          Preferred Receivables Funding Corporation ("Companv"), the financial
          institutions from time to time party thereto as "Financial
          Institutions" and Bank One, NA (Main Office Chicago) or any successor
          agent appointed pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, as
          agent for Company and such Financial Institutions (in such capacity,
          the "Agent").

                  NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and
the mutual agreements herein contained and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the
parties hereto agree as follows:

                                    ARTICLE I
                        AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF THE PURCHASE

                   Section 1.1       Purchase of Receivables.

                            (a) Effective on the date hereof, in consideration
for the Purchase Price and upon the terms and subject to the conditions set
forth herein, Originator does hereby sell, assign, transfer, set-over and
otherwise convey to Buyer, without recourse (except to the extent expressly
provided herein), and Buyer does hereby purchase from Originator, all of
Originator's right, title and interest in and to all Receivables existing as of
the close of business on the Business Day immediately prior to the date hereof
and all Receivables thereafter arising through and including the Termination
Date, together, in each case, with all Related Security relating thereto and all
Collections thereof. In accordance with the preceding sentence, on the date
hereof Buyer shall acquire all of Originator's right, title and interest in and
to all Receivables existing as of the close of business on the Business Day
immediately prior to the date hereof and thereafter arising through and
including the Termination Date, together with all Related Security relating
thereto and all Collections thereof. Buyer shall be obligated to pay the
Purchase Price for the Receivables purchased hereunder in accordance with
Section 1.2. In connection with consummation of the Purchase Price for any
Receivables purchased hereunder, Buyer may request that Originator deliver, and
Originator shall deliver, such approvals, opinions, information, reports or
documents as Buyer may reasonably request.

                            (b) It is the intention of the parties hereto that
the Purchase of Receivables made hereunder shall constitute a sale, which sale
is absolute and irrevocable and provides Buyer with the full benefits of
ownership of the Receivables. Except for the Purchase Price Credits owed
pursuant to Section 1.3, the sale of Receivables hereunder is made without
recourse to Originator; provided, however, that (i) Originator shall be liable
to Buyer for all representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities made by
Originator pursuant to theterms of the Transaction Documents to which Originator
is a party, and (ii) such sale does not constitute and is not intended to result
in an assumption by Buyer or any assignee thereof of any obligation of
Originator or any other Person arising in connection with the Receivables, the
related Contracts and/or other Related Security or any other obligations of
Originator. In view of the intention of the parties hereto that the Purchase of
Receivables made hereunder shall constitute a sale of such Receivables rather
than loans secured thereby, Originator agrees that it will, on or prior to the
date hereof and in accordance with Section 4.1(e)(n), identify in its general
ledger relating to the Receivables a legend acceptable to Buyer and to the Agent
(as Buyer's assignee), evidencing that Buyer has purchased such Receivables as
provided in this Agreement and to note in its financial statements that its
Receivables have been sold to Buyer. Upon the request of Buyer or the Agent (as
Buyer's assignee), Originator will 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 appropriate to perfect and
maintain the perfection of Buyer's

                                       -2-
<PAGE>

ownership interest in the Receivables and the Related Security and Collections
with respect thereto, or as Buyer or the Agent (as Buyer's assignee) may
reasonably request.

                   Section 1.2      Payment for the Purchase.

                           (a) The Purchase Price for the Purchase of
Receivables in existence on the close of business on the Business Day
immediately preceding the date hereof (the "Initial Cutoff Date") shall be
payable in full by Buyer to Originator on the date hereof, and shall be paid to
Originator in the following manner:

                                         (i) by delivery of immediately
          available funds, to the extent of funds made available to Buyer in
          connection with its subsequent sale of an interest in such Receivables
          to the Purchasers under the Purchase Agreement; provided that a
          portion of such funds shall be offset by amounts owed by Originator to
          Buyer on account of the issuance of equity in the manner contemplated
          in the Subscription Agreement and having a total value of not less
          than the Required Capital Amount, and

                                         (ii) the balance, by delivery of the
          proceeds of a subordinated revolving loan from Originator to Buyer (a
          "Subordinated Loan") in an amount not to exceed the least of (i) the
          remaining unpaid portion of such Purchase Price, (ii) the maximum
          Subordinated Loan that could be borrowed without rendering Buyer's Net
          Worth less than the Required Capital Amount and (iii) the maximum
          Subordinated Loan that could be borrowed without rendering the Net
          Value less than the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the
          Subordinated Loans (including the Subordinated Loan proposed to be
          made on such date). Originator is hereby authorized by Buyer to
          endorse on the schedule attached to the Subordinated Note an
          appropriate notation evidencing the date and amount of each advance
          thereunder, as well as the date of each payment with respect thereto,
          provided that the failure to make such notation shall not affect any
          obligation of Buyer thereunder.

The Purchase Price for each Receivable coming into existence after the Initial
Cutoff Date shall be due and owing in full by Buyer to Originator or its
designee on the date each such Receivable came into existence (except that Buyer
may, with respect to any such Purchase Price, offset against such Purchase Price
any amounts owed by Originator to Buyer hereunder and which have become due
but remain unpaid) and shall be paid to Originator in the manner provided in the
following paragraphs (b), (c) and (d).

                            (b) With respect to any Receivables coming into
existence after the Initial Cutoff Date, on each Settlement Date, Buyer shall
pay the Purchase Price therefor in accordance with Section 1.2(d) and in the
following manner:

                                       -3-
<PAGE>

                           first, by delivery of immediately available funds, to
          the extent of funds available to Buyer from its subsequent sale of an
          interest in the Receivables to the Agent for the benefit of the
          Purchasers under the Purchase Agreement or other cash on hand;

                           second, by delivery of the proceeds of a Subordinated
          Loan, provided that the making of any such Subordinated Loan shall be
          subject to the provisions set forth in Section 1.2(a)(ii); and

                           third, unless Originator has declared the Termination
          Date to have occurred pursuant to Section 5.2, by accepting a
          contribution to its capital pursuant to the Subscription Agreement in
          an amount equal to the remaining unpaid balance of such Purchase
          Price.

Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 1.2(a)(ii), Originator
irrevocably agrees to advance each Subordinated Loan requested by Buyer on or
prior to the Termination Date. The Subordinated Loans shall be evidenced by, and
shall be payable in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Subordinated
Note and shall be payable solely from funds which Buyer is not required under
the Purchase Agreement to set aside for the benefit of, or otherwise pay over
to, the Purchasers.

                            (c) From and after the Termination Date, Originator
shall not be obligated to (but may, at its option): (i) sell Receivables to
Buyer, or (ii) contribute Receivables to Buyer's capital pursuant to clause
third of Section 1.2(b) unless Originator reasonably determines that the
Purchase Price therefor will be satisfied with funds available to Buyer from
sales of interests in the Receivables pursuant to the Purchase Agreement,
Collections, proceeds of Subordinated Loans, other cash on hand or otherwise.

                            (d) Although the Purchase Price for each Receivable
coming into existence after the Initial Cutoff Date shall be due and payable in
full by Buyer to Originator on the date such Receivable came into existence,
settlement of the Purchase Price between Buyer and Originator shall be effected
on a monthly basis on Settlement Dates with respect to all Receivables coming
into existence during the same Calculation Period and based on the information
contained in the Monthly Report delivered by the Servicer pursuant to Article
VIII of the Purchase Agreement for the Calculation Period then most recently
ended. Although settlement shall be effected on Settlement Dates, increases or
decreases in the amount owing under the Subordinated Note made pursuant to
Section 1.2(b) and any contribution of capital by Originator to Buyer made
pursuant to Section 1.2(b) shall be deemed to have occurred and shall be
effective as of the last Business Day of the Calculation Period to which such
settlement relates.

                   Section 1.3 Purchase Price Credit Adjustments. If on any day:

                           (a) the Outstanding Balance of a Receivable is:

                                         (i) reduced as a result of any
          defective or rejected or returned goods or services, any discount or
          any adjustment or otherwise by Originator (other than cash Collections
          on account of the Receivables),

                                         (ii) reduced or canceled as a result of
          a setoff in respect of any claim by any Person (whether such claim
          arises out of the same or a related transaction or an unrelated
          transaction), or

                            (b) any of the representations and warranties set
forth in Article u are not true when made or deemed made with respect to any
Receivable,

then, in such event, Buyer shall be entitled to a credit (each, a "Purchase
Price Credit") against the Purchase Price otherwise payable hereunder equal to
the Outstanding Balance of such Receivable (calculated before giving effect to
the applicable reduction or cancellation). If such Purchase Price Credit exceeds
the Original Balance of the Receivables coming into existence on any day, then
Originator shall pay the remaining amount of such Purchase Price Credit in cash
immediately, provided that if the Termination Date has not occurred, Originator
shall be allowed to deduct the remaining amount of such Purchase Price Credit
from any indebtedness owed to it under the Subordinated Note.

                   Section 1.4 Payments and Computations, Etc. All amounts to be
paid or deposited by Buyer hereunder shall be paid or deposited in accordance
with the terms hereof on the day when due in immediately available funds to the
account of Originator designated from time to time by Originator or as otherwise
directed by Originator. In the event that any payment owed by any Person
hereunder becomes due on a day that is not a Business Day, then such payment
shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day. If any Person fails to pay
any amount hereunder when due, such Person agrees to pay, on demand, the Default
Fee in respect thereof until paid in full; provided, however, that such Default
Fee shall not at any time exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law.
All computations of interest payable 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.

                   Section 1.5 Transfer of Records.

                             (a) In connection with the Purchase of Receivables
hereunder, Originator hereby sells, transfers, assigns and otherwise conveys to
Buyer all of Originator's right and title to and interest in the Records
relating to all Receivables sold hereunder, without the

                                       -5-

<PAGE>
need for any further documentation in connection with the Purchase. In
connection with such transfer, Originator hereby grants to each of Buyer, the
Agent and the Servicer an irrevocable, non-exclusive license to use, without
royalty or payment of any kind, all software used by Originator to account for
the Receivables, to the extent necessary to administer the Receivables, whether
such software is owned by Originator or is owned by others and used by
Originator under license agreements with respect thereto, provided that should
the consent of any licenser of such software be required for the grant of the
license described herein, to be effective, Originator hereby agrees that upon
the request of Buyer Buyer's assignee), Originator will use its reasonable
efforts to obtain the consent of such third-party licenser. The license granted
hereby shall be irrevocable until the indefeasible payment in full of the
Aggregate Unpaids, and shall terminate on the date this Agreement terminates in
accordance with its terms.

                   (b) Originator (i) shall take such action requested by Buyer
and/or the Agent (as Buyer's assignee), from time to time hereafter, that may be
necessary or appropriate to ensure that Buyer and its assigns under the
Purchase Agreement have an enforceable ownership interest in the Records
relating to the Receivables purchased from Originator hereunder, and (ii) shall
use its reasonable efforts to ensure that Buyer, the Agent and the Servicer each
has an enforceable right (whether by license or sublicense or otherwise) to use
all of the computer software used to account for the Receivables and/or to
recreate such Records.

                   Section 1.6 Characterization. If, notwithstanding the
intention of the parties expressed in Section 1.1 (b), any sale or contribution
by Originator to Buyer of Receivables hereunder shall be characterized as a
secured loan and not a sale or such sale shall for any reason be ineffective or
unenforceable, then this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a security
agreement under the UCC and other applicable law. For this purpose and without
being in derogation of the parties' intention that the sale of Receivables
hereunder shall constitute a true sale thereof, Originator hereby grants to
Buyer a duly perfected security interest in all of Originator's right, title and
interest in, to and under all Receivables now existing and hereafter arising,
all Collections and Related Security with respect thereto, each Lock-Box and
Collection Account, all other rights and payments relating to the Receivables
and all proceeds of the foregoing to secure the prompt and complete payment of a
loan deemed to have been made in an amount equal to the Purchase Price of the
Receivables together with all other obligations of Originator hereunder, which
security interest shall be prior to all other Adverse Claims thereto. Buyer and
its assigns shall have, in addition to the rights and remedies which they may
have under this Agreement, all other rights and remedies provided to a secured
creditor under the UCC and other applicable law, which rights and remedies shall
be cumulative.

                         REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

                   Section 2.1 Representations and Warranties of Originator.
Originator hereby represents and warrants to Buyer on the date hereof, on the
date of the Purchase and on each date that any Receivable comes into existence
that:

                             (a) Corporate Existence and Power. Originator is a

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

    heretofore furnished by Originator or any of its Affiliates to Buyer (or its
    assigns) for purposes of or in connection with this Agreement, any of the
    other Transaction Documents or any transaction contemplated hereby or

    any of its Affiliates to Buyer (or its assigns) will be, true and accurate
    in every material respect on the date such information is stated or
    certified and does not and will not contain any material misstatement of

 the offices where it keeps of its Records are located at the address listed on

 with Section 4.2(a) in jurisdictions where action required by Section 4.2(a)

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

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

                           (r) Compliance with Credit and Collection Policy.
Originator has complied in all material respects with the Credit and Collection
Policy with regard to each Receivable and the related Contract, and has not made
any change to such Credit and Collection Policy, except such material change as
to which Buyer (or its assigns) has been notified in accordance with Section 4.1
(a)(vii).

                           (s) Payments to Originator. With respect to each
Receivable transferred to Buyer hereunder, the Purchase Price received by
Originator constitutes reasonably equivalent value in consideration therefor and
such transfer was not made for or on account of an antecedent debt. No transfer
by Originator of any Receivable hereunder is or may be voidable under any
section of the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978 (11 U.S.C. Sections 101 et seq.),
as amended.

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

                           (u) Eligible Receivables. Each Receivable included at
any time in the Net Receivables Balance as an Eligible Receivable was, on the
later to occur of the date of the Purchase and the date it came into existence,
an Eligible Receivable on such date.

                           (v) Accounting. The manner in which Originator
accounts for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement does not jeopardize
the characterization of the transactions contemplated herein as being true sales
of the Receivables by the Originator to the Buyer.

                                   ARTICLE III
                             CONDITIONS OF PURCHASE

                   Section 3.1 Conditions Precedent to Purchase. The Purchase
under this Agreement is subject to the conditions precedent that (a) Buyer shall
have received on or before the date of such purchase those documents listed on
Schedule A and (b) all of the conditions to the initial purchase under the
Purchase Agreement shall have been satisfied or waived in accordance with the
terms thereof.

                   Section 3.2 Conditions Precedent to Subsequent Payments.
Buyer's obligation to pay for Receivables coming into existence after the
Initial Cutoff Date shall be subject to the further conditions precedent that
(a) the Facility Termination Date shall not have occurred; (b) Buyer (or its
assigns) shall have received such other approvals, opinions or documents as it
may reasonably request and (c) on the date such Receivable came into existence,
the following statements shall be true (and acceptance of the proceeds of any
payment for such Receivable shall be deemed a representation and warranty by
Originator that such statements are then true):

                   (i) the representations and warranties set forth in Article
II are true and correct on and as of the date such Receivable came into
existence as though made on and as of such date; and

                   (ii) no event has occurred and is continuing that will
constitute a Termination Event or a Potential Termination Event.

Notwithstanding the foregoing conditions precedent, upon payment of the Purchase
Price for any Receivable (whether by payment of cash, through an increase in the
amounts outstanding under the Subordinated Note, by offset of amounts owed to
Buyer and/or by offset of capital contributions), title to such Receivable and
the Related Security and Collections with respect thereto shall vest in Buyer,
whether or not the conditions precedent to Buyer's obligation to pay for such
Receivable were in fact satisfied. The failure of Originator to satisfy any of
the foregoing conditions precedent, however, shall give rise to a right of Buyer
to rescind the related purchase and direct Originator to pay to Buyer an amount
equal to the Purchase Price payment that shall have been made with respect to
any Receivables related thereto.

                                         (ii) Originator will (A) on or prior to
           the date hereof, identify in its general ledger a legend, acceptable
           to Buyer (or its assigns), describing Buyer's ownership interests in

           Agent (on behalf of the Purchasers) under the Purchase Agreement and
           (B) upon the request of Buyer (or its assigns), (x) mark each
           Contract with a legend describing Buyer's ownership interests in the

Originator will take all reasonable steps including, without limitation, all
steps that Buyer, or any assignee of Buyer, may from time to time reasonably
request to maintain Buyer's identity as a separate legal entity and to make it
manifest to third parties that Buyer is an entity with assets and liabilities
distinct from those of Originator and any

                                      -15-
<PAGE>

Affiliates thereof and not a division of Originator or any such Affiliate.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and in addition to the other
covenants set forth herein, Originator (i) will not hold itself out to third
parties as liable for the debts of Buyer nor purport to own the Receivables and
other assets acquired by Buyer, (ii) will take all other actions necessary on
its part to ensure that Buyer is at all times in compliance with the covenants
set forth in Section 7.1(i) of the Purchase Agreement and (iii) will cause all
tax liabilities arising in connection with the transactions contemplated herein
or otherwise to be allocated between Originator and Buyer on an arm's-length
basis and in a manner consistent with the procedures set forth in U.S.
Treasury Regulations Sections 1.1502-33(d) and 1.1552-l.

proceeds from all Lock-Boxes to be directly deposited by a Collection Bank into
a Collection Account and (2) each Lock-Box and Collection Account to be subject
at all times to a Collection Account Agreement that is in full force and effect.
In the event any payments relating to Receivables are remitted directly to
Originator or any Affiliate of Originator, Originator will remit (or will cause
all such payments to be remitted) directly to a Collection Bank and deposited
into a Collection Account within two (2) Business Days following receipt thereof
and, at all times prior to such remittance, Originator will itself hold such
payments in trust for the exclusive benefit of Buyer and its assigns. Originator
will transfer exclusive ownership, dominion and control of each Lock-Box and
Collection Account to Buyer and, will not grant the right to take dominion and
control of any Lock-Box or Collection Account at a future time or upon the
occurrence of a future event to any Person, except to Buyer (or its assigns) as
contemplated by this Agreement and the Purchase Agreement.

                           (j) Taxes. Originator will file all tax returns and
reports required by law to be filed by it and promptly pay all taxes and
governmental charges at any time owing. Originator will pay when due any taxes
payable in connection with the Receivables, exclusive of taxes on or measured by
income or gross receipts of Buyer and its assigns.

                           (k) Insurance. Originator will maintain in effect, or
cause to be maintained in effect, at Originator's own expense, such casualty and
liability insurance as Originator deems appropriate in its good faith business
judgment. Buyer and the Agent, for the benefit of the Purchasers, shall be named
as additional insureds with respect to all such liability insurance maintained
by Originator. Originator will pay or cause to be paid, the premiums therefor
and deliver to Buyer and the Agent evidence satisfactory to Buyer and the Agent
of such insurance coverage. Copies of each policy shall be furnished to Buyer,
the Agent and any Purchaser in certificated form upon Buyer's, the Agent's or
such Purchaser's request.

                  Section 4.2 Negative Covenants of Originator. Until the date

hereby covenants that:

                                      -16-
<PAGE>

                           (a) Name Change, Offices and Records. Originator will
not change its name, identity or corporate structure (within the meaning of
Section 9-402(7) of any applicable enactment of the UCC) or relocate its chief
executive office or any office where Records are kept unless it shall have: (i)
given Buyer (or its assigns) at least forty-five (45) days' prior written
notice thereof and (ii) delivered to Buyer (or its assigns) all financing
statements, instruments and other documents requested by Buyer (or its assigns)
in connection with such change or relocation.

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

                           (c) Modifications to Contracts and Credit and
Collection Policy. Originator will not make any change to the Credit and
Collection Policy that could adversely affect the collectibility of the
Receivables or decrease the credit quality of any newly created Receivables.
Except as otherwise permitted in its capacity as Servicer pursuant to Article
VIII of the Purchase Agreement, Originator will not extend, amend or otherwise
modify the terms of any Receivable or any Contract related thereto other than in
accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy.

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

                           (e) Accounting; for Purchase. Originator will not,
and will not permit any Affiliate to, account for or treat (whether in financial
statements or otherwise) the

                                      -17-

transactions contemplated hereby in any manner other than the sale of the
Receivables and the Related Security by Originator to Buyer or in any other
respect account for or treat the transactions contemplated hereby in any manner
other than as a sale of the Receivables and the Related Security by Originator
to Buyer except to the extent that such transactions are not recognized on

                                 INDEMNIFICATION

                   Section 6.1 Indemnities by Originator. Without limiting any
 other rights that Buyer may have hereunder or under applicable law, Originator
 hereby agrees to indemnify (and pay upon demand to) Buyer and its assigns,
 officers, directors, agents and employees (each an "Indemnified Party") from
 and against any and all damages, losses, claims, taxes, liabilities, costs,
 expenses and for all other amounts payable, including reasonable attorneys'
 fees (which attorneys may be employees of Buyer or any such assign) and
 disbursements (all of the foregoing being collectively referred to as
 "Indemnified

                                      -19-
<PAGE>

Amounts") awarded against or incurred by any of them arising out of or as a
result of this Agreement or the acquisition, either directly or indirectly, by
Buyer of an interest in the Receivables, excluding, however:

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

                                         (ii) Indemnified Amounts to the extent
         the same includes losses in respect of Receivables that are

         creditworthiness of the related Obligor; or

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

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

         by Originator (or any officers of Originator) under or in connection
         with this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any other
         information or report delivered by Originator pursuant hereto or
         thereto that shall have been false or incorrect when made or deemed
         made;

                                         (ii) the failure by Originator, to
         comply with any applicable law, rule or regulation with respect to any
         Receivable or Contract related thereto, or the nonconformity of any
         Receivable or Contract included therein with any such applicable law,
         rule or regulation or any

                                      -20-

failure of Originator to keep or perform any of its obligations, express or
implied, with respect to any Contract;

duties, covenants or other obligations in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement or any other Transaction Document;

                                (iv) any products liability, personal injury or
damage, suit or other similar claim arising out of or in connection with

services;

Purchase Price Payment, the ownership of the Receivables or any other
investigation, litigation or proceeding relating to Originator in which any
Indemnified Party becomes involved as a result of any of the transactions
contemplated hereby;

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

                                (ix) any Termination Event described in Section
5.1 (d);

                                (x) any failure to vest and maintain vested in

         whether at the time of the Purchase or at any subsequent time;

                                         (xii) any action or omission by
