One Company of such Purchase Notice, Scotia will promptly notify the Scotia
Company of such Purchase Notice and the Agent and Scotia will identify the
Companies that agree to make the purchase. If any Company declines to make a
proposed purchase, Seller may cancel the Purchase Notice as to all Purchasers
or, in the absence of such a cancellation, the Incremental Purchase of the
Purchaser Interests, which such Company has declined to purchase, will be made
by such declining Company's Related Financial Institutions in accordance with
the rest of this Section 1.2. If the proposed Incremental Purchase or any
portion thereof is to be made by any of the Financial Institutions, the Agent
shall send notice of the proposed Incremental Purchase to the Bank One Company's
Related Financial Institutions and/or Scotia shall send notice of the proposed
Incremental Purchase to the Scotia Company's Related Financial Institutions, as
applicable, in each case concurrently by telecopier, telex or cable specifying
(i) the date of such Incremental Purchase, which date must be at least one
Business Day after such notice is received by the applicable Financial
Institutions, (ii) each Financial Institution's Pro Rata Share of the aggregate
Purchase Price of the Purchaser Interests the Financial Institutions in such
Financial Institution's Purchaser Group are then purchasing and (iii) the
requested Discount Rate and Tranche Period. On the date of each Incremental
Purchase, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in
Article VI and the conditions set forth in this Section 1.2, the Companies
and/or the Financial Institutions, as applicable, shall deposit to the Facility
Account, in immediately available funds, no later than 12:00 noon (Chicago
time), an amount equal to (i) in the case of a Company that has agreed to make
such Incremental Purchase, such Company's Pro Rata Share of the aggregate
Purchase Price of the Purchaser Interests of such Incremental Purchase or (ii)
in the case of a Financial Institution, such Financial Institution's Pro Rata
Share of the aggregate Purchase Price of the Purchaser Interests the Financial
Institutions in such Financial Institution's Purchaser Group are then
purchasing. Each Financial Institution's Commitment hereunder shall be limited
to purchasing Purchaser Interests that the Company in such Financial
Institution's Purchaser Group has declined to purchase. Each Financial
Institution's obligation shall be several, such that the failure of any
Financial Institution to make available to Seller any funds in connection with
any purchase shall not relieve any other Financial Institution of its
obligation, if any, hereunder to make funds available on the date of such
purchase, but no Financial Institution shall be responsible for the failure of
any other Financial Institution to make funds available in connection with any
purchase.

            Section 1.3 Decreases. Seller shall provide the Agent and Scotia
with prior written notice in conformity with the Required Notice Period (a
"Reduction Notice") of any proposed reduction of Aggregate Capital from
Collections and the Agent will promptly notify each Purchaser in the Bank One
Company's Purchaser Group of such Reduction Notice after the Agent's receipt
thereof and Scotia will promptly notify each Purchaser in the Scotia Company's
Purchaser Group of such Reduction Notice after Scotia's receipt thereof. Such
Reduction Notice shall designate (i) the date (the "Proposed Reduction Date")
upon which any such reduction of Aggregate Capital shall occur (which date shall
give effect to the applicable Required Notice Period), and (ii) the amount of
Aggregate Capital to be reduced which shall be applied ratably to the Purchaser
Interests of the Companies and the Financial Institutions in accordance with

the amount of Capital (if any) owing to the Companies (ratably, based on their
respective Pro Rata Shares), on the one hand, and the amount of Capital (if any)
owing to the Financial Institutions (ratably to each Financial Institution,
based on the ratio of such Financial Institution's Capital at such time to the
aggregate Capital of all of the Financial Institutions at such time), on the
other hand (the "Aggregate Reduction"). Only one (1) Reduction Notice shall be
outstanding at any time. Concurrently with any reduction of Aggregate Capital
pursuant to this Section, Seller shall pay to the applicable Purchaser all
Broken Funding Costs arising as a result of such reduction. No Aggregate
Reduction will be made following the occurrence of the Amortization Date without
the consent of the Agent.

            Section 1.4 Payment Requirements. All amounts to be paid or
deposited by any Seller Party pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall
be paid or deposited in accordance with the terms hereof no later than 11:00
a.m. (Chicago time) on the day when due in immediately available funds, and if
not received before 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time) shall be deemed to be received on
the next succeeding Business Day. If such amounts are payable to a Purchaser,
they shall be paid to such Purchaser at the "Payment Address" specified for such
Purchaser on Schedule A or such other address specified in writing to each other
party hereto. If such amounts are payable to the Agent, they shall be paid to
the Agent at 1 Bank One Plaza, Chicago, Illinois 60670 until otherwise notified
by the Agent. Upon notice to Seller, the Agent (on behalf of itself and/or any
Purchaser) may debit the Facility Account for all amounts due and payable
hereunder. All computations of Yield, per annum fees or discount calculated as
part of any CP Costs, per annum fees hereunder and per annum fees under the Fee
Letters shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number
of days elapsed. If any amount hereunder or under any other Transaction Document
shall be payable on a day which is not a Business Day, such amount shall be
payable on the next succeeding Business Day.

            Section 2.1 Payments. Notwithstanding any limitation on recourse
contained in this Agreement, Seller shall immediately pay to the Agent or
relevant Purchaser, as applicable, when due, for the account of the Agent or the
relevant Purchaser or Purchasers on a full recourse basis, (i) such fees as set
forth in the Fee Letters (which fees collectively shall be sufficient to pay all
fees owing to the Financial Institutions), (ii) all CP Costs, (iii) all amounts
payable as Yield, (iv) all amounts payable as Deemed Collections (which shall be
immediately due and payable by Seller and applied to reduce outstanding
Aggregate Capital hereunder in accordance with Sections 2.2 and 2.3 hereof), (v)
all amounts required pursuant to Section 2.6, (vi) all amounts payable pursuant
to Article X, if any, (vii) all Servicer costs and expenses, including the
Servicing Fee, in connection with servicing, administering and collecting the
Receivables, (viii) all Broken Funding Costs and (ix) all Default Fees
(collectively, the "Obligations"). If any Person fails to pay any of the
Obligations when due, such Person agrees to pay, on demand, the Default Fee in
respect thereof until paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of this
Agreement or the Fee Letters shall require the payment or permit the collection

any amounts hereunder in excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law. If
at any time Seller receives any Collections or is deemed to receive any
Collections, Seller shall immediately pay such Collections or Deemed Collections
to the Servicer for application in accordance with the terms and conditions
hereof and, at all times prior to such payment, such Collections or Deemed
Collections shall be held in trust by Seller for the exclusive benefit of the
Purchasers and the Agent.

            Section 2.2 Collections Prior to Amortization. Prior to the
Amortization Date, any Collections and/or Deemed Collections received by the
Servicer shall be set aside and held in trust by the Servicer for the benefit of
the Agent and the Purchasers for the payment of any accrued and unpaid Aggregate
Unpaids or for a Reinvestment as provided in this Section 2.2. If at any time
any Collections and/or Deemed Collections are received by the Servicer prior to
the Amortization Date, (i) the Servicer shall set aside the Termination
Percentage (hereinafter defined) of Collections evidenced by the Purchaser
Interests of each Terminating Financial Institution, shall set aside Collections
to be used to effect any Aggregate Reduction in accordance with Section 1.3 and
shall set aside amounts necessary to pay Obligations due on the next succeeding
Settlement Date and (ii) Seller hereby requests and the Purchasers (other than
any Terminating Financial Institutions) hereby agree to make, simultaneously
with such receipt, a reinvestment (each a "Reinvestment") with that portion of
the balance of each and every Collection and Deemed Collection received by the
Servicer that is part of any Purchaser Interest (other than any Purchaser
Interests of Terminating Financial Institutions), such that after giving effect
to such Reinvestment, the amount of Capital of such Purchaser Interest
immediately after such receipt and corresponding Reinvestment shall be equal to
the amount of Capital immediately prior to such receipt (but giving effect to
any ratable reduction thereof pursuant to application of an Aggregate
Reduction). On each Settlement Date prior to the occurrence of the Amortization
Date, the Servicer shall remit to the Agent's or applicable Purchaser's account
the amounts set aside during the preceding Settlement Period that have not been
subject to a Reinvestment and apply such amounts (if not previously paid in
accordance with Section 2.1) first, to reduce unpaid Obligations and second, to
reduce the Capital of all Purchaser Interests of Terminating Financial
Institutions, applied ratably to each Terminating Financial Institution
according to its respective Termination Percentage. If such Capital and
Obligations shall be reduced to zero, any additional Collections received by the
Servicer (i) if applicable, shall be remitted to the Agent's or applicable
Purchaser's account no later than 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time) to the extent
required to fund any Aggregate Reduction on such Settlement Date and (ii) any
balance remaining thereafter shall be remitted from the Servicer to Seller on
such Settlement Date. Each Terminating Financial Institution shall be allocated
a ratable portion of Collections from the Liquidity Termination Date that such
Terminating Financial Institution did not consent to extend (as to such
Terminating Financial Institution, the "Liquidity Provider Termination Date"),
until such Terminating Financial Institution's Capital shall be paid in full.
This ratable portion shall be calculated on the Liquidity Provider Termination
Date of each Terminating Financial Institution as a percentage equal to (i)
Capital of such Terminating Financial Institution outstanding on its Liquidity
Provider Termination Date, divided by (ii) the Aggregate Capital outstanding on
such Liquidity Provider Termination Date (the

"Termination Percentage"). Each Terminating Financial Institution's Termination
Percentage shall remain constant prior to the Amortization Date. On and after
the Amortization Date, each Termination Percentage shall be disregarded, and
each Terminating Financial Institution's Capital shall be reduced ratably with
all Financial Institutions in accordance with Section 2.3.

            Section 2.3 Collections Following Amortization. On the Amortization
Date and on each day thereafter, the Servicer shall set aside and hold in trust,
for the holder of each Purchaser Interest, all Collections received on such day
and an additional amount for the payment of any Aggregate Unpaids owed by Seller
and not previously paid by Seller in accordance with Section 2.1. On and after
the Amortization Date, the Servicer shall, at any time upon the request from
time to time by (or pursuant to standing instructions from) the Agent (i) remit
to the Agent's or applicable Purchaser's account the amounts set aside pursuant
to the preceding sentence, and (ii) apply such amounts to reduce the Capital
associated with each such Purchaser Interest and any other Aggregate Unpaids.

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

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

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

            third, ratably to the payment of all accrued and unpaid fees
      under the Fee Letters, CP Costs and Yield,

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

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

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

            Collections applied to the payment of Aggregate Unpaids shall be
distributed in accordance with the aforementioned provisions, and, giving effect
to each

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

            Section 2.5 Payment Rescission. No payment of any of the Aggregate
Unpaids shall be considered paid or applied hereunder to the extent that, at any
time, all or any portion of such payment or application is rescinded by
application of law or judicial authority, or must otherwise be returned or
refunded for any reason. Seller shall remain obligated for the amount of any
payment or application so rescinded, returned or refunded, and shall promptly
pay to the Agent (for application to the Person or Persons who suffered such
rescission, return or refund) the full amount thereof, plus the Default Fee from
the date of any such rescission, return or refunding.

            Section 2.6 Maximum Purchaser Interests. Seller shall ensure that
the Purchaser Interests of the Purchasers shall at no time exceed in the
aggregate 100%. If the aggregate of the Purchaser Interests of the Purchasers
exceeds 100%, Seller shall pay to the Purchasers (ratably based on the ratio of
each Purchaser's Capital at such time to the Aggregate Capital at such time)
within one (1) Business Day an amount to be applied to reduce the Aggregate
Capital, such that after giving effect to such payment the aggregate of the
Purchaser Interests equals or is less than 100%.

            Section 2.7 Clean Up Call. In addition to Seller's rights pursuant
to Section 1.3, Servicer shall have the right (after providing written notice to
the Agent and Scotia in accordance with the Required Notice Period), at any time
following the reduction of the Aggregate Capital to a level that is less than
10.0% of the maximum amount drawn, to repurchase from the Purchasers all, but
not less than all, of the then outstanding Purchaser Interests. The purchase
price in respect thereof shall be an amount equal to the Aggregate Unpaids
through the date of such repurchase, payable in immediately available funds.
Such repurchase shall be without representation, warranty or recourse of any
kind by, on the part of, or against any Purchaser or the Agent.

            Section 2.8 Release of Lock-Box Arrangements. After all Aggregate
Unpaids have been reduced to zero, the Agent and Purchasers agree that the
Collection Account Agreements maintained pursuant to Section 7.1(j) hereof for
the benefit of the Purchasers shall be terminated and any amounts remaining in
such accounts shall be released to Seller, provided, however, if any amounts
paid to the Agent or Purchaser is voided, limited or otherwise required to be
disgorged by any Purchaser in a bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other
proceeding, each Seller Party hereby agrees to use its best efforts to reinstate
such Lock-Box arrangements and Collection Account Agreements, and hereby grants
a power of attorney (which shall be irrevocable and coupled with an interest) to
the Agent and hereby authorizes the Agent, on its behalf, to execute Lock-Box
arrangements and Collection Account Agreements in the event of any such
reinstatement.

that any Capital in respect of any such Purchaser Interest is outstanding.

            Section 3.2 CP Costs Payments. On each Settlement Date, Seller shall
pay to each Company an aggregate amount equal to all accrued and unpaid Company
Costs in respect of the Capital associated with all Purchaser Interests of such
Company for the immediately preceding Accrual Period in accordance with Article
II.

            Section 3.3 Calculation of CP Costs. On the fifth Business Day
immediately preceding each Settlement Date, each Company shall calculate the
aggregate amount of its Company Costs for the applicable Accrual Period and
shall notify the Agent of such aggregate amount. Within two (2) Business Days of
the Agent's receipt of notification of such Company Costs for all Companies, the
Agent shall calculate the aggregate amount of CP Costs due and payable on the

            Section 4.1 Financial Institution Funding. Each Purchaser Interest
of the Financial Institutions shall accrue Yield for each day during its Tranche
Period at either the LIBO Rate or the Prime Rate in accordance with the terms
and conditions hereof. Until Seller gives notice to the Agent of a change in the
rate applicable to the Discount Rate in accordance with Section 4.4, the initial
Discount Rate for any Purchaser Interest transferred to the Financial
Institutions pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof shall be the Prime
Rate. If any Purchaser Interest of any Company is assigned or transferred to, or
funded by, any Funding Source of such Company pursuant to any Funding Agreement
or to or by any other Person, each such Purchaser Interest so assigned,
transferred or funded shall each be deemed to have a new Tranche Period
commencing on the date of any such transfer or funding and shall accrue Yield
for each day during its Tranche Period at either the LIBO Rate or the Prime Rate
in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof as if each such Purchaser
Interest was held by a Financial Institution, and with respect to each such
Purchaser Interest, the assignee or transferee thereof or lender with respect
thereto shall be deemed to be a Financial Institution in the transferring
Company's Purchaser Group solely for the purposes of Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4
and 4.5.

            Section 4.2 Yield Payments. On the Settlement Date for each
Purchaser Interest of each Financial Institution, Seller shall pay to each
Financial Institution an aggregate amount equal to all accrued and unpaid Yield
for the entire Tranche Period of each Purchaser Interest funded by such
Financial Institution. On the

fifth Business Day immediately preceding the Settlement Date for each Purchaser
Interest of the Financial Institutions, each Financial Institution shall
calculate the aggregate amount of accrued and unpaid Yield for the entire
Tranche Period of each Purchaser Interest funded by such Financial Institution
and shall notify the Agent of such aggregate amount. Within two Business Days of
the Agent's receipt of notification of such applicable Yield for all Financial
Institutions, the Agent shall calculate the aggregate amount of Yield due and
payable on the applicable Settlement Date and shall notify Seller of the
aggregate amount of Yield due and payable on such Settlement Date to each
Financial Institution.

            Section 4.3 Selection and Continuation of Tranche Periods.

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

                  (b) Seller or the applicable Financial Institution, upon
notice to and consent by the other received at least three (3) Business Days
prior to the end of a Tranche Period (the "Terminating Tranche") for any
Purchaser Interest, may, effective on the last day of the Terminating Tranche:
(i) divide any such Purchaser Interest into multiple Purchaser Interests by
subdividing the associated Capital for such Purchaser Interest into smaller
amounts of Capital, (ii) combine any such Purchaser Interest with one or more
other Purchaser Interests that have a Terminating Tranche ending on the same day
as such Terminating Tranche by combining the associated Capital for such
Purchaser Interests or (iii) combine any such Purchaser Interest with a new
Purchaser Interest to be purchased on the day such Terminating Tranche ends by
combining the associated Capital for such Purchaser Interests; provided that in
no event may a Purchaser Interest of any Purchaser be combined with a Purchaser
Interest of any other Purchaser.

            Section 4.4 Financial Institution Discount Rates. Seller may select
the LIBO Rate or the Prime Rate for each Purchaser Interest of the Financial
Institutions. Seller shall by 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time): (i) at least three (3)
Business Days prior to the expiration of any Terminating Tranche with respect to
which the LIBO Rate is being requested as a new Discount Rate and (ii) at least
one (1) Business Day prior to the expiration of any Terminating Tranche with
respect to which the Prime Rate is being requested as a new Discount Rate, give
the applicable Financial Institution irrevocable notice of the new Discount Rate
for the Purchaser Interest associated with such Terminating Tranche. Until
Seller gives notice to the applicable Financial Institution (or Funding Source)
of another Discount Rate, the initial Discount Rate for any Purchaser Interest
transferred to the Financial Institutions pursuant to the terms and conditions
hereof (or assigned or transferred to, or funded by, any Funding Source pursuant
to any Funding Agreement or to or by any other Person) shall be the Prime Rate.

            Section 4.5 Suspension of the LIBO Rate. If any Financial
Institution notifies the Agent that it has determined that funding its Pro Rata
Share of the Purchaser Interests of the Financial Institutions in such Financial
Institution's Purchaser Group at the LIBO Rate would violate any applicable law,
rule, regulation, or directive of any governmental or regulatory authority,
whether or not having the force of law, or that (i) deposits of a type and
maturity appropriate to match fund its Purchaser Interests at the LIBO Rate are
not available or (ii) the LIBO Rate does not accurately reflect the cost of
acquiring or maintaining a Purchaser Interest at the LIBO Rate, then the Agent
shall suspend the availability of the LIBO Rate for the Financial Institutions
in such Financial Institution's Purchaser Group and require Seller to select the
Prime Rate for any Purchaser Interest funded by the Financial Institutions in
such Financial Institution's Purchaser Group accruing Yield at the LIBO Rate.

            Section 4.6 Extension of Liquidity Termination Date.

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

                  (b) Upon receipt of notice from the Agent pursuant to Section
4.6(a) of any Non-Renewing Financial Institution or that the Liquidity
Termination Date has not been extended, one or more of the Financial
Institutions (including any Non-Renewing Financial Institution) may proffer to
the Agent and the Company in such Non-Renewing Financial Institution's Purchaser
Group the names of one or more institutions meeting the criteria set forth in
Section 12.1(b)(i) that are willing to accept assignments of and assume the
rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other applicable Transaction

proffered name(s) are acceptable to the Agent and the Company in such
Non-Renewing Financial Institution's Purchaser Group, the Agent shall notify the
remaining Financial Institutions of such fact, and the then existing Liquidity
Termination Date shall be extended for an additional 364 days upon satisfaction
of the conditions for an assignment in accordance with Section 12.1 and the
Commitment of each Non-Renewing Financial Institution shall be reduced to zero.
If the rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other applicable
Transaction Documents of each Non-Renewing Financial Institution are not
assigned as contemplated by this Section 4.6(b) (each such Non-Renewing
Financial Institution whose rights and obligations under this Agreement and the
other applicable Transaction Documents are not so assigned is herein referred to
as a "Terminating Financial Institution") and at least one Financial Institution
is not a Non-Renewing Financial Institution, the then existing Liquidity
Termination Date shall be extended for an additional 364 days; provided,
however, that (i) the Purchase Limit shall be reduced on the Liquidity Provider
Termination Date applicable to each Terminating Financial Institution by an
aggregate amount equal to the Terminating Commitment Availability of each
Terminating Financial Institution as of such date and shall thereafter continue
to be reduced by amounts equal to any reduction in the Capital of any
Terminating Financial Institution (after application of Collections pursuant to
Sections 2.2 and 2.3), (ii) the Company Purchase Limit of each Company shall be
reduced by the aggregate amount of the Terminating Commitment Amount of each
Terminating Financial Institution in such Company's Purchaser Group and (iii)
the Commitment of each Terminating Financial Institution shall be reduced to
zero on the Liquidity Provider Termination Date applicable to such Terminating
Financial Institution. Upon reduction to zero of the Capital of all of the
Purchaser Interests of a Terminating Financial Institution (after application of
Collections thereto pursuant to Sections 2.2 and 2.3) all rights and obligations
of such Terminating Financial Institution hereunder shall be terminated and such
Terminating Financial Institution shall no longer be a "Financial Institution";
provided, however, that the provisions of Article X shall continue in effect for
its benefit with respect to Purchaser Interests held by such Terminating
Financial Institution prior to its termination as a Financial Institution.

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

                         REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

            Section 5.1 Representations and Warranties of The Seller Parties.
Each Seller Party hereby represents and warrants to the Agent and the
Purchasers, as to itself (and not as to any other Seller Party), as of the date
hereof and as of the date of each Incremental Purchase and the date of each
Reinvestment that:

                  (a) Corporate Existence and Power. Such Seller Party is a
corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws
of its state of incorporation. Such Seller Party is duly qualified to do
business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation, and has and holds all
corporate power and all governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and
approvals required to carry on its business in each jurisdiction in which its
business is conducted, except where the failure of the Servicer to so qualify or
so hold could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

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

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

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

                  (e) Actions, Suits. There are no actions, suits or proceedings
pending, or to the best of such Seller Party's knowledge, threatened, against or
affecting such Seller Party, or any of its properties, in or before any court,
arbitrator or other body,

                                                            AMENDED AND RESTATED
                                                  RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AGREEMENT

                                     Page 12
<PAGE>
except for actions, suits or proceedings (i) that, individually or in the
aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or
(ii) that have been publicly disclosed in any periodic report or other filing
made by such Seller Party pursuant to, and in full conformity with the
requirements of, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In addition to the
foregoing, there are no actions, suits or proceedings pending, or to the best of
such Seller Party's knowledge, threatened against or affecting the Receivables,
the Related Security or any Transaction Document, in or before any court,
arbitration or other body. Such Seller Party is not in default with respect to
any order of any court, arbitrator or governmental body.

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

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

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

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

                  (j) Perfection. This Agreement, together with the filing of
the financing statements contemplated hereby, is effective to, and shall, upon
each purchase hereunder, transfer to the Agent for the benefit of the relevant
Purchaser or Purchasers (and the Agent for the benefit of such Purchaser or
Purchasers shall acquire from Seller) a valid and perfected first priority
undivided percentage ownership or security interest in

                                                            AMENDED AND RESTATED

                                     Page 13
<PAGE>
each Receivable existing or hereafter arising and in the Related Security and
Collections with respect thereto, free and clear of any Adverse Claim, except as
created by the Transaction Documents. There have been duly filed all financing
statements or other similar instruments or documents necessary under the UCC (or
any comparable law) of all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect the Agent's (on
behalf of the Purchasers) ownership or security interest in the Receivables, the
Related Security and the Collections.

                  (k) Places of Business, Jurisdiction of Organization and
Locations of Records. The principal places of business, jurisdiction of
organization and chief executive office of such Seller Party and the offices
where it keeps all of its Records are located at the address(es) listed on
Exhibit III or such other locations of which the Agent has been notified in
accordance with Section 7.2(a) in jurisdictions where all action required by
Section 7.1(h) and/or Section 13.4(a) has been taken and completed. Seller's
organizational number assigned to it by its jurisdiction of organization and
Seller's Federal Employer Identification Number are correctly set forth on
Exhibit III. Seller has not changed the location of its principal place of
business and chief executive office or its corporate structure within the four
months prior to June 28, 2001. Seller has not changed its jurisdiction of
organization. Seller is a Delaware corporation and is a "registered
organization" (within the meaning of Section 9-102 of the UCC in effect in the
State of Delaware). Servicer is a New York corporation and is a "registered
organization" (within the meaning of Section 9-102 of the UCC in effect in the
State of New York).

                  (l) Collections. The conditions and requirements set forth in
Section 7.1(j) and Section 8.2 have at all times been satisfied and duly
performed. The names and addresses of all Collection Banks, together with the
account numbers of the Collection Accounts of Seller at each Collection Bank and
the post office box number of each Lock-Box, are listed on Exhibit IV. Seller
has not granted any Person, other than the Agent as contemplated by this
Agreement, dominion and control or "control" (within the meaning of Section
9-104 of the UCC of all applicable jurisdictions) of any Lock-Box or Collection
Account, or the right to take dominion and control or "control" (within the
meaning of Section 9-104 of the UCC of all applicable jurisdictions) of any such
Lock-Box or Collection Account at a future time or upon the occurrence of a
future event. Seller has taken all steps necessary to ensure that the Agent has
"control" (within the meaning of Section 9-104 of the UCC of all applicable
jurisdictions) over all its Collection Accounts and Lock-Boxes.

                  (m) Material Adverse Effect. (i) The initial Servicer
represents and warrants that since March 31, 2001, no event has occurred that
would have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or operations of
the initial Servicer and its Subsidiaries or the ability of the initial Servicer
to perform its obligations under this Agreement, and (ii) Seller represents and
warrants that since June 28, 2001, no event has occurred that would have a
material adverse effect on (A) the financial condition or operations of Seller,
(B) the ability of Seller to perform its obligations under the Transaction
Documents, or (C) the collectibility of the Receivables generally or any
material portion of the Receivables.

                                                            AMENDED AND RESTATED
                                                  RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AGREEMENT

<PAGE>
                  (n) Names. In the past five (5) years, Seller has not used any
corporate names, trade names or assumed names other than the name in which it
has executed this Agreement.

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

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

                  (q) Compliance with Law. Such Seller Party has complied in all
respects with all applicable laws, rules, regulations, orders, writs, judgments,
injunctions, decrees or awards to which it may be subject, except where the
failure to so comply could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect. Seller represents that 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. Seller 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
material change to such Credit and Collection Policy, except as permitted in
accordance with Section 7.2(c) and except such material change as to which the
Agent has been notified in accordance with Section 7.1(a)(vii).

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

                  (t) Enforceability of Contracts. Seller represents that 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, if any, 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

                                                            AMENDED AND RESTATED
                                                  RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AGREEMENT

                                     Page 15
<PAGE>
relating to or limiting creditors' rights generally and by general principles of
equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or
at law).

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

                  (v) Net Receivables Balance. At all times from June 28, 2001,
the Net Receivables Balance is at least equal to the sum of (i) the Aggregate
Capital, plus (ii) the Aggregate Reserves.

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

      Section 5.2 Financial Institution Representations and Warranties. Each
Financial Institution hereby represents and warrants to the Agent and the
Company in such Financial Institution's Purchaser Group that:

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

                  (b) No Conflict. The execution and delivery by such Financial
Institution of this Agreement and the performance of its obligations hereunder
are within its corporate powers, have been duly authorized by all necessary
corporate action, do not contravene or violate (i) its certificate or articles
of incorporation or association or by-laws, (ii) any law, rule or regulation
applicable to it, (iii) any restrictions under any agreement, contract or
instrument to which it is a party or by which any of its property is bound, or
(iv) any order, writ, judgment, award, injunction or decree binding on or
affecting it or its property, and do not result in the creation or imposition of
any Adverse Claim on its assets. This Agreement has been duly authorized,
executed and delivered by such Financial Institution.

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

                  (d) Binding Effect. This Agreement constitutes the legal,
valid and binding obligation of such Financial Institution enforceable against
such Financial Institution in accordance with its terms, except as such
enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization
or other similar laws relating to or

                                                            AMENDED AND RESTATED

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

                             CONDITIONS OF PURCHASES

diligence review satisfactory to the Agent and Scotia of the Originator's
operating locations, (b) the Purchasers shall have obtained approval of the
transactions contemplated hereby by their respective credit committees, (c) the
Agent and Scotia shall have received on or before the date of such purchase
those documents listed on Schedule B, (d) the Agent and the Purchasers shall

            Section 6.2 Conditions Precedent to All Purchases and Reinvestments.
Each purchase of a Purchaser Interest and each Reinvestment shall be subject to
the further conditions precedent that (a) in the case of each such purchase or
Reinvestment: (i) the Servicer shall have delivered to the Agent and Scotia on
or prior to the date of such purchase, in form and substance satisfactory to the
Agent, all Monthly Reports as and when due under Section 8.5 and (ii) upon the

      Section 5.1 are true and correct on and as of the date of such Incremental
      Purchase or Reinvestment as though made on and as of such date;

                        (ii) no event has occurred and is continuing, or would
      result from such Incremental Purchase or Reinvestment, that will
      constitute an Amortization Event, and no event has occurred and is
      continuing, or would result from such Incremental Purchase or

<PAGE>
It is expressly understood that each Reinvestment shall, unless otherwise
directed by the Agent or any Purchaser, occur automatically on each day that the
Servicer shall receive any Collections without the requirement that any further
action be taken on the part of any Person and notwithstanding the failure of
Seller to satisfy any of the foregoing conditions precedent in respect of such
Reinvestment. The failure of Seller to satisfy any of the foregoing conditions
precedent in respect of any Reinvestment shall give rise to a right of the
Agent, which right may be exercised at any time on demand of the Agent, to
rescind the related purchase and direct Seller to pay to the Agent for the
benefit of the Purchasers an amount equal to the Collections prior to the
Amortization Date that shall have been applied to the affected Reinvestment.

                                  ARTICLE VII
                                    COVENANTS

            Section 7.1 Affirmative Covenants of The Seller Parties. Until the
date on which the Aggregate Unpaids have been indefeasibly paid in full and this
Agreement terminates in accordance with its terms, each Seller Party hereby
covenants, as to itself (and not as to any other Seller Party), as set forth
below:

                  (a) Financial Reporting. Such Seller Party will maintain, for

      each of its respective fiscal years, audited, unqualified consolidated

      its Subsidiaries, for such fiscal year certified in a manner acceptable to

under the UCC (or any comparable law) of all appropriate jurisdictions to
perfect Seller's interest in such Receivables, Related Security and Collections
and such other action to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the interest of
Seller therein as the Agent may reasonably request), and (ii) establish and
maintain, in favor of the Agent, for the benefit of the Purchasers, a valid and
perfected first priority undivided percentage ownership interest (and/or a valid
and perfected first priority security interest) in all such Receivables, Related
Security and Collections to the full extent contemplated herein, free and clear

as the Agent may reasonably request).

                  (i) Purchasers' Reliance. Seller acknowledges that the
Purchasers are entering into the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in
reliance upon Seller's identity as a legal entity that is separate from
Originator. Therefore, from and after June 28, 2001, Seller shall take all
reasonable steps, including, without limitation, all steps that the Agent or any
Purchaser may from time to time reasonably request, to maintain Seller's
identity as a separate legal entity and to make it manifest to third parties
that Seller is an entity with assets and liabilities distinct from those of
Originator and any Affiliates thereof and not just 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, Seller will:

                        (A) conduct its own business in its own name and require
      that all full-time employees of Seller, if any, identify themselves as
      such and not as employees of Originator (including, without limitation, by
      means of providing appropriate employees with business or identification
      cards identifying such employees as Seller's employees);

                        (B) compensate all employees, consultants and agents
      directly, from Seller's own funds, for services provided to Seller by such
      employees, consultants and agents and, to the extent any employee,
      consultant or agent of Seller is also an employee, consultant or agent of
      Originator or any Affiliate thereof, allocate the compensation of such
      employee, consultant or agent between Seller and Originator or such
      Affiliate, as applicable, on a basis that reflects the services rendered
      to Seller and Originator or such Affiliate, as applicable;

                        (C) clearly identify its offices (by signage or
      otherwise) as its offices and, if such office is located in the offices of
      Originator, Seller shall lease such office at a fair market rent;

                                                            AMENDED AND RESTATED

      its own name;

                        (E) conduct all transactions with Originator, the
      Servicer and any Affiliate thereof (including, without limitation, any
      delegation of its obligations hereunder as Servicer) strictly on an
      arm's-length basis, allocate all overhead expenses (including, without
      limitation, telephone and other utility charges) for items shared between
      Seller and Originator or any Affiliate thereof on the basis of actual use
      to the extent practicable and, to the extent such allocation is not
      practicable, on a basis reasonably related to actual use;

                        (F) at all times have a Board of Directors consisting of
      three members, at least one member of which is an Independent Director;

                        (G) observe all corporate formalities as a distinct
      entity, and ensure that all corporate actions relating to (A) the
      selection, maintenance or replacement of the Independent Director, (B) the
      dissolution or liquidation of Seller or (C) the initiation of,
      participation in, acquiescence in or consent to any bankruptcy,
      insolvency, reorganization or similar proceeding involving Seller, are
      duly authorized by unanimous vote of its Board of Directors (including the
      Independent Director);

                        (H) maintain Seller's books and records separate from
      those of Originator and any Affiliate thereof and otherwise readily
      identifiable as its own assets rather than assets of Originator and any
      Affiliate thereof;

                        (I) prepare its financial statements separately from
      those of Originator and insure that any consolidated financial statements
      of Originator or any Affiliate thereof that include Seller and that are
      filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other
      governmental agency have notes clearly stating that Seller is a separate
      corporate entity and that its assets will be available first and foremost
      to satisfy the claims of the creditors of Seller;

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

      depository accounts to which Seller alone is the account party;

                        (K) pay all of Seller's operating expenses from Seller's

      does not engage in any business or activity of any kind, or enter into any
      transaction or indenture, mortgage, instrument, agreement, contract, lease
      or other undertaking, other than the transactions contemplated and
      authorized by this Agreement and the Receivables Sale Agreement; and does
      not create, incur, guarantee, assume or suffer to exist any indebtedness
      or other liabilities, whether direct or contingent, other than (1) as a
      result of the endorsement of negotiable instruments for deposit or
      collection or similar transactions in the ordinary course of business, (2)
      the incurrence of obligations under this Agreement, (3) the incurrence of
      obligations, as expressly contemplated in the Receivables Sale Agreement,
      to make payment to Originator thereunder for the purchase of Receivables
      from Originator under the Receivables Sale Agreement, and (4) the
      incurrence of operating expenses in the ordinary course of business of the
      type otherwise contemplated by this Agreement;

                        (M) maintain its corporate charter in conformity with
      this Agreement, such that it does not amend, restate, supplement or
      otherwise modify its Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws in any
      respect that would impair its ability to comply with the terms or
      provisions of any of the Transaction Documents, including, without

      Required Capital Amount to cease to be so maintained; and

                        (Q) take such other actions as are necessary on its part
      to ensure that the facts and assumptions set forth in the opinion issued
      by Carter, Ledyard & Milburn, as counsel for Seller, in connection with

      and relating to substantive consolidation issues, and in the certificates

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

to be remitted) directly to a Collection Bank and deposited into a Collection
Account within two (2) Business Days following receipt thereof, and, at all
times prior to such remittance, Seller will itself hold or, if applicable, will
cause such payments to be held in trust for the exclusive benefit of the Agent

Account, Seller shall take all steps necessary to ensure that the Agent has
"control" (within the meaning of Section 9-104 of the UCC of all applicable
jurisdictions) over such Lock-Box or Collection Account. So long as no
Amortization Event or Potential Amortization Event shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Servicer will be permitted to transfer proceeds from a Lock-Box
or Collection Account to another account of Servicer, provided that at all times
Servicer will hold such payments or, if applicable, will cause such payments to
be held in trust for the exclusive benefit of the Agent and the Purchasers
subject to application pursuant to Sections 2.2 and 2.3 hereof.

                  (k) Taxes. Such Seller Party will file all tax returns and

                  (l) Insurance. Seller will maintain in effect, or cause to be
maintained in effect, at Seller's own expense, such liability insurance as

respect to all such liability insurance maintained by Seller. Seller will pay or
cause to be paid, the premiums therefor and deliver to the Agent evidence
satisfactory to the Agent of such insurance

Purchaser in certificated form upon the Agent's or such Purchaser's request. The
foregoing requirements shall not be construed to negate, reduce or modify, and
are in addition to, Seller's obligations hereunder.

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

                  (n) Segregation of Other Servicer Collected Funds. Upon the
request of the Agent or Scotia and subject to the Servicer's ability to do so,
the Servicer shall, within six days of the date any Other Servicer Collected
Funds are deposited, credited or funded to any Collection Account, (i)
specifically identify all such Other Servicer Collected Funds and (ii) cause all
Other Servicer Collected Funds to be transferred from the applicable Collection
Account.

Collected Funds from, and prevent all Other Servicer Collected Funds from being
deposited, credited or otherwise funded to, any and all Collection Accounts.

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

the Agent at least forty-five (45) days' prior written notice thereof and (ii)
delivered to the Agent all financing statements, instruments and other documents
requested by the Agent in connection with such change or relocation.

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

regarding payments if such new instructions require such Obligors to make
payments to another existing Collection Account.

                  (c) Modifications to Contracts and Credit and Collection
Policy. Such Seller Party 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 provided
in Section 8.2(d), the Servicer will not extend, amend or otherwise modify the
terms of any Receivable or any Contract related thereto other than in accordance
with the Credit and Collection Policy.

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

                  (e) Net Receivables Balance. At no time after June 28, 2001
shall Seller permit the Net Receivables Balance to be less than an amount equal
to the sum of (i) the Aggregate Capital plus (ii) the Aggregate Reserves.

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

                  (g) Restricted Junior Payments. From and after the occurrence
of any Amortization Event, Seller will not make any Restricted Junior Payment
if, after giving effect thereto, Seller would fail to meet its obligations set
forth in Section 7.2(e).

                                  ARTICLE VIII
                          ADMINISTRATION AND COLLECTION

            Section 8.1 Designation of Servicer. (a) The servicing,
administration and collection of the Receivables shall be conducted by such
Person (the "Servicer") so designated from time to time in accordance with this
Section 8.1. Avnet is hereby designated as, and hereby agrees to perform the
duties and obligations of, the Servicer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
The Agent (on behalf of the Purchasers) may, and at the direction of the
Required Purchasers shall, at any time after the occurrence of

                                                            AMENDED AND RESTATED

<PAGE>
any Amortization Event, designate as Servicer any Person to succeed Avnet or any
successor Servicer.

                  (b) Without the prior written consent of the Agent and the
Required Purchasers, Avnet shall not be permitted to delegate any of its duties
or responsibilities as Servicer to any Person other than (i) Seller and (ii)
with respect to certain Charged-Off Receivables, outside collection agencies or
law firms, taking action in connection with collection activities, in accordance
with its customary practices. Seller shall not be permitted to further delegate
to any other Person any of the duties or responsibilities of the Servicer
delegated to it by Avnet. If at any time the Agent shall designate as Servicer
any Person other than Avnet, all duties and responsibilities theretofore
delegated by Avnet to Seller may, at the discretion of the Agent, be terminated
forthwith on notice given by the Agent to Avnet and to Seller.

                  (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing subsection (b), (i) Avnet
shall be and remain primarily liable to the Agent and the Purchasers for the
full and prompt performance of all duties and responsibilities of the Servicer
hereunder (unless a successor servicer has been designated by the Agent pursuant
to Section 8.1 hereof) and (ii) the Agent and the Purchasers shall be entitled
to deal exclusively with Avnet in matters relating to the discharge by the
Servicer of its duties and responsibilities hereunder. The Agent and the
Purchasers shall not be required to give notice, demand or other communication
to any Person other than Avnet in order for communication to the Servicer and
its sub-servicer or other delegate with respect thereto to be accomplished.
Avnet, at all times that it is the Servicer, shall be responsible for providing
any sub-servicer or other delegate of the Servicer with any notice given to the
Servicer under this Agreement.

            Section 8.2 Duties of Servicer. (a) The Servicer shall take or cause
to be taken all such actions as may be necessary or advisable to collect each
Receivable from time to time, all in accordance with applicable laws, rules and
regulations, with reasonable care and diligence, and in accordance with the
Credit and Collection Policy.

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

                                                            AMENDED AND RESTATED

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

                  (d) The Servicer may, in accordance with the Credit and
Collection Policy, extend the maturity of any Receivable or adjust the
Outstanding Balance of any Receivable as the Servicer determines to be
appropriate to maximize Collections thereof; provided, however, that such
extension or adjustment shall not alter the status of such Receivable as a
Delinquent Receivable or Charged-Off Receivable or limit the rights of the Agent
or the Purchasers under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, the Agent shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to
direct the Servicer to take all actions that a reasonable business person,
exercising prudent business judgment, would undertake to commence or settle any
legal action with respect to any Receivable or to foreclose upon or repossess
any Related Security.

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

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

            Section 8.3 Collection Notices. The Agent is authorized at any time
after the occurrence of any Amortization Event to date and to deliver to the
Collection Banks the Collection Notices. The Agent agrees to notify the Seller
promptly after the

                                                            AMENDED AND RESTATED
                                                  RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AGREEMENT

                                     Page 29
<PAGE>
delivery of such Collection Notices to the Collection Banks. Seller hereby
transfers to the Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers, effective when the
Agent delivers such notice, the dominion and control and "control" (within the
meaning of Section 9-104 of the UCC of all applicable jurisdictions) of each
Lock-Box, each Collection Account and the amounts on deposit therein. In case
any authorized signatory of Seller whose signature appears on a Collection
Account Agreement shall cease to have such authority before the delivery of such
notice, such Collection Notice shall nevertheless be valid as if such authority
had remained in force. Seller hereby authorizes the Agent, and agrees that the
Agent shall be entitled to (i) endorse Seller's name on checks and other
instruments representing Collections, (ii) enforce the Receivables, the related
Contracts and the Related Security and (iii) take such action as shall be
necessary or desirable to cause all cash, checks and other instruments
constituting Collections of Receivables to come into the possession of the Agent
rather than Seller. The Agent agrees that after delivery of a Collection Notice,
the Collection Banks may continue to provide or otherwise make available to the
Seller and the Servicer copies of all correspondence or other mail which will be
sent directly to the Agent subsequent to the delivery of such Collection Notice
pursuant to the Collection Account Agreements.

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

            Section 8.5 Reports. The Servicer shall prepare and forward to the
Agent and Scotia (i) on the fifteenth (15th) calendar day of each month (or if
such day is not a Business Day, the next Business Day) and at such times as the
Agent or the Required Purchasers shall request, a Monthly Report (which shall
include a work sheet calculating the Net Receivables Balance and the amount of
Eligible Receivables) and (ii) at such times as the Agent or the Required
Purchasers shall request, a listing by Obligor of all Receivables together with
an aging of such Receivables.

            Section 8.6 Servicing Fees. In consideration of Avnet's agreement to
act as Servicer hereunder, the Purchasers hereby agree that, so long as Avnet
shall continue to perform as Servicer hereunder, Seller shall pay over to Avnet
a fee (the "Servicing Fee") on the first calendar day of each month, in arrears
for the immediately preceding month, equal to 1/12 of 1% per annum (in an
aggregate amount equal to 1% per annum) of the average Net Receivables Balance
during such period, as compensation for its servicing activities.

            Section 8.7 Limited Recourse to Servicer. Purchasers shall have no
recourse to Servicer for any amounts due hereunder, other than those
specifically provided to be paid by Servicer hereunder and under the other
Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, for amounts payable
pursuant to Section 10.1(b) hereof.

such failure shall continue for three (3) consecutive Business Days.

                  (b) Any representation, warranty, certification or statement

affiliate of Servicer which is a party thereto, in the performance of any term,
provision or condition contained in the Avnet 364-Day Credit Agreement or in the
Avnet Multi-Year Credit Agreement, the effect of which is to cause, or to permit
the holder or holders of such Indebtedness to cause, such Indebtedness to become
due prior to its stated maturity; or any Indebtedness of any Seller Party in
excess of $35 million (other than the Avnet 364-Day Credit Agreement and the
Avnet Multi-Year Credit Agreement) shall be caused to be declared due and
payable, or shall be declared to be due and payable or required to be prepaid
(other than by a regularly scheduled payment) prior to the date of maturity
thereof.

                  (d) (i) Any Seller Party or any of its Subsidiaries shall
generally not pay its debts as such debts become due or shall admit in writing
its inability to pay its debts generally or shall make a general assignment for
the benefit of creditors; or (ii) any proceeding shall be instituted by or
against any Seller Party or any of its Subsidiaries seeking to adjudicate it
bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking liquidation, winding up, reorganization,
arrangement, adjustment, protection, relief or composition of it or its debts
under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of
debtors, or seeking the entry of an order for relief or the appointment of a
receiver, trustee or other similar official for it or any substantial part of
its property or (iii) any Seller Party or any of its Subsidiaries shall take any
corporate action to authorize any of the actions set forth in clauses (i) or
(ii) above in this subsection (d).

                  (e) Seller shall fail to comply with the terms of Section 2.6
hereof.

rolling average of the Delinquency Ratio Trigger shall exceed 9.25%, or the
three-month rolling average of the Dilution Ratio Trigger shall exceed 8.25% or
the three-month rolling average of the Loss Ratio Trigger shall exceed 5.25%.

and such judgment shall continue unsatisfied and in effect for thirty (30)
consecutive days without a stay of execution.

                  (j) The "Termination Date" under and as defined in the
Receivables Sale Agreement shall occur under the Receivables Sale Agreement or
Originator shall for any reason cease to transfer, or cease to have the legal
capacity to transfer, or otherwise be incapable of transferring Receivables to
Seller under the Receivables Sale Agreement.

                                 INDEMNIFICATION

            Section 10.1 Indemnities by The Seller Parties. (a) Without limiting
any other rights that the Agent, any Purchaser, any Funding Source or any of
their respective Affiliates may have hereunder or under applicable law, Seller
hereby agrees to indemnify (and pay upon demand to) the Agent, each Funding
Source, each Purchaser and their respective Affiliates, assigns, officers,
directors, agents and employees (each an "Indemnified Party") from and against
any and all damages, losses, claims, taxes, liabilities, costs, expenses and for
all other amounts payable, including reasonable attorneys' fees (which attorneys
may be employees of the Agent or such Purchaser) and disbursements (all of the
foregoing being collectively referred to as "Indemnified Amounts") awarded
against or incurred by any of them arising out of or as a result of this
Agreement, or the use of the proceeds of any purchase hereunder, or the
acquisition, funding or ownership, either directly or indirectly, by a Purchaser
or a Funding Source of a Purchaser Interest or of an interest in the
Receivables, or any Receivable or any Contract or any Related Security, or any
action of any Seller Party or any Affiliate of any Seller Party, 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 uncollectible on account of the
      insolvency, bankruptcy or lack of creditworthiness of the related Obligor;
      or

                        (iii) taxes imposed by the jurisdiction in which such
      Indemnified Party's principal executive office is located, on or measured
      by the overall net income of such Indemnified Party to the extent that the
      computation of such taxes is consistent with the characterization for
      income tax purposes of the acquisition by the Purchasers of Purchaser
      Interests as a loan or loans by the Purchasers to Seller secured by the
      Receivables, the Related Security, the Collection Accounts and the
      Collections;

provided, however, that nothing contained in this sentence shall limit the
liability of Seller or limit the recourse of the Purchasers to Seller for
amounts otherwise specifically provided to be paid by Seller under the terms of
this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing
indemnification, Seller shall indemnify each Indemnified

Party for Indemnified Amounts (including, without limitation, losses in respect
of uncollectible receivables, regardless of whether reimbursement therefor would
constitute recourse to Seller or the Servicer) relating to or resulting from:

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

                        (v) the failure by Seller, the Servicer or 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 failure of Originator to keep or perform any of its
      obligations, express or implied, with respect to any Contract;

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

                        (vii) any products liability, personal injury or damage
      suit, or other similar claim arising out of or in connection with
      merchandise, insurance or services that are the subject of any Contract or
      any Receivable;

                        (viii) any dispute, claim, offset or defense (other than
      discharge in bankruptcy of the Obligor) of the Obligor to the payment of
      any Receivable (including, without limitation, a defense based on such
      Receivable or the related Contract not being a legal, valid and binding
      obligation of such Obligor enforceable against it in accordance with its
      terms), or any other claim resulting from the sale of the merchandise or
      service related to such Receivable or the furnishing or failure to furnish
      such merchandise or services;

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

                        (x) any investigation, litigation or proceeding related

      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

      Receivables, the Related Security, the Collection Accounts and the

changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of a Funding Source or
taxes excluded by Section 10.1) or (ii) that imposes, modifies or deems
applicable any reserve, assessment, insurance charge, special deposit or similar
requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of a Funding
Source, or credit extended by a Funding Source pursuant to a Funding Agreement
or (iii) that imposes any other condition the result of which is to increase the

consequence of its obligations under a Funding Agreement, or to reduce the
amount of any sum received or receivable by a Funding Source under a Funding

                                    THE AGENT

            Section 11.1 Authorization and Action. Each Purchaser hereby
designates and appoints Bank One to act as its agent hereunder and under each
other Transaction Document, and authorizes the Agent to take such actions as
agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Agent by
the terms of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents together with
such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Agent shall not have any
duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein or in any
other Transaction Document, or any fiduciary relationship with any Purchaser,
and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or
liabilities on the part of the Agent shall be read into this Agreement or any
other Transaction Document or otherwise exist for the Agent. In performing its
functions and duties hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents, the
Agent shall act solely as agent for the Purchasers and does not assume nor shall
be deemed to have assumed any obligation or relationship of trust or agency with
or for any Seller Party or any of such Seller Party's successors or assigns. The
Agent shall not be required to take any action that exposes the Agent to
personal liability or that is contrary to this Agreement, any other Transaction
Document or applicable law. The appointment and authority of the Agent hereunder
shall terminate upon the indefeasible payment in full of all Aggregate Unpaids.
Each Purchaser hereby authorizes the Agent to execute each of the Uniform
Commercial Code financing or continuation statements (and amendments thereto and
assignments or terminations thereof) on behalf of such Purchaser (the terms of
which shall be binding on such Purchaser).

            Section 11.2 Delegation of Duties. The Agent may execute any of its
duties under this Agreement and each other Transaction Document by or through
agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel
concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Agent shall not be
responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact
selected by it with reasonable care.

            Section 11.3 Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Agent nor any of
its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be (i) liable for any action
lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with
this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (except for its, their or such
Person's own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (ii) responsible in any
manner to any of the Purchasers for any recitals, statements, representations or
warranties made by any Seller Party contained in this Agreement, any other
Transaction Document or any certificate, report, statement or other document
referred to or provided for in, or received under or in connection with, this
Agreement, or any other Transaction Document or for the value, validity,
effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement, or
any other Transaction Document or any other document furnished in connection
herewith or therewith, or for any failure of any Seller Party to perform its
obligations hereunder or thereunder, or for the satisfaction of any condition
specified in Article VI, or for the

perfection, priority, condition, value or sufficiency of any collateral pledged
in connection herewith. The Agent shall not be under any obligation to any
Purchaser to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any
of the agreements or covenants contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or
any other Transaction Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records
of the Seller Parties. The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any
Amortization Event or Potential Amortization Event unless the Agent has received
notice from Seller or a Purchaser.

            Section 11.4 Reliance by Agent. The Agent shall in all cases be
entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any document or
conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed,
sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of
legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to Seller), independent
accountants and other experts selected by the Agent. The Agent shall in all
cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this
Agreement or any other Transaction Document unless it shall first receive such
advice or concurrence of the Required Purchasers or all of the Purchasers, as
applicable, as it deems appropriate and it shall first be indemnified to its
satisfaction by the Purchasers, provided that unless and until the Agent shall
have received such advice, the Agent may take or refrain from taking any action,
as the Agent shall deem advisable and in the best interests of the Purchasers.
The Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from
acting, in accordance with a request of the Required Purchasers or all of the
Purchasers, as applicable, and such request and any action taken or failure to
act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Purchasers.

            Section 11.5 Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Purchasers. Each
Purchaser expressly acknowledges that neither the Agent, nor any of its
officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates has made
any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Agent hereafter
taken, including, without limitation, any review of the affairs of any Seller
Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the
Agent. Each Purchaser represents and warrants to the Agent that it has and will,
independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Purchaser and
based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its
own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property,
prospects, financial and other conditions and creditworthiness of Seller and
made its own decision to enter into this Agreement, the other Transaction
Documents and all other documents related hereto or thereto.

            Section 11.6 Reimbursement and Indemnification. Each Financial
Institution agrees to reimburse and indemnify the Agent and its officers,
directors, employees, representatives and agents ratably based on the ratio of
each such indemnifying Financial Institution's Commitment to the aggregate
Commitment, to the extent not paid or reimbursed by the Seller Parties (i) for
any amounts for which the Agent, acting in its capacity as Agent, is entitled to
reimbursement by the Seller Parties hereunder and (ii) for any other expenses
incurred by the Agent, in its capacity as Agent and acting on behalf of the
Purchasers, in connection with the administration and enforcement of this
Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

            Section 11.7 Agent in its Individual Capacity. The Agent and its
Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any
kind of business with Seller or any Affiliate of Seller as though the Agent were
not the Agent hereunder. With respect to the acquisition of Purchaser Interests
pursuant to this Agreement, the Agent shall have the same rights and powers
under this Agreement in its individual capacity as any Purchaser and may
exercise the same as though it were not the Agent, and the terms "Financial
Institution," "Purchaser," "Related Financial Institution," "Financial
Institutions," "Purchasers," and "Related Financial Institutions," shall include
the Agent in its individual capacity.

            Section 11.8 Successor Agent. The Agent may, upon five days' notice
to Seller and the Purchasers, and the Agent will, upon the direction of all of
the Purchasers (other than the Agent, in its individual capacity), resign as
Agent. If the Agent shall resign, then the Required Purchasers during such
five-day period shall appoint from among the Purchasers a successor agent. If
for any reason no successor Agent is appointed by the Required Purchasers during
such five-day period, then effective upon the termination of such five-day
period, the Purchasers shall perform all of the duties of the Agent hereunder
and under the other Transaction Documents and Seller and the Servicer (as
applicable) shall make all payments in respect of the Aggregate Unpaids directly
to the applicable Purchasers and for all purposes shall deal directly with the
Purchasers. After the effectiveness of any retiring Agent's resignation
hereunder as Agent, the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and
obligations hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents and the
provisions of this Article XI and Article X shall continue in effect for its
benefit with respect to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it
was Agent under this Agreement and under the other Transaction Documents.

            Section 12.1 Assignments. (a) Seller, the Servicer, the Agent and
each Purchaser hereby agree and consent to the complete or partial assignment by
any Company of all or any portion of its rights under, interest in, title to and
obligations under this Agreement to any Funding Source pursuant to any Funding
Agreement or to any other Person, and upon such assignment, such Company shall
be released from its obligations so assigned. Further, Seller, the Servicer, the
Agent and each Purchaser hereby agree that any assignee of any Company of this
Agreement or of all or any of the Purchaser Interests of any Company shall have
all of the rights and benefits under this Agreement as if the term "Company"
explicitly referred to and included such party (provided that (i) the Purchaser
Interests of any such assignee that is a Company or a commercial paper conduit
shall accrue CP Costs based on such Company's Company Costs or on such
commercial paper conduit's cost of funds, respectively, and (ii) the Purchaser
Interests of any other such assignee shall accrue Yield pursuant to Section
4.1), and no such assignment shall in any way impair the rights and benefits of
any Company hereunder. Neither Seller nor the Servicer shall have the right to
assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement.

                  (b) Any Financial Institution may at any time and from time to
time assign to one or more Persons ("Purchasing Financial Institutions") all or
any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to an
assignment agreement, substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit VII hereto
(the "Assignment Agreement") executed by such Purchasing Financial Institution
and such selling Financial Institution. The consent of the Company in such
selling Financial Institution's Purchaser Group shall be required prior to the
effectiveness of any such assignment. Each assignee of a Financial Institution
must (i) have a short-term debt rating of A-1 or better by Standard & Poor's
Ratings Services and P-1 by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. and (ii) agree to
deliver to the Agent, promptly following any request therefor by the Agent or
the Company in such selling Financial Institution's Purchaser Group, an
enforceability opinion in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent and such
Company. Upon delivery of the executed Assignment Agreement to the Agent, such
selling Financial Institution shall be released from its obligations hereunder
to the extent of such assignment. Thereafter the Purchasing Financial
Institution shall for all purposes be a Financial Institution party to this
Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Financial
Institution (including, without limitation, the applicable obligations of a
Related Financial Institution) under this Agreement to the same extent as if it
were an original party hereto and no further consent or action by Seller, the
Purchasers or the Agent shall be required.

                  (c) Each of the Financial Institutions agrees that in the
event that it shall cease to have a short-term debt rating of A-1 or better by
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services and P-1 by Moody's Investors Service, Inc.
(an "Affected Financial Institution"), such Affected Financial Institution shall
be obliged, at the request of the Company in such Affected Financial
Institution's Purchaser Group or the Agent, to assign all of its rights and
obligations hereunder to (x) another Financial Institution in such Affected
Financial Institution's Purchaser Group or (y) another funding entity nominated
by the Agent or Scotia and acceptable to the Company in such Affected Financial
Institution's Purchaser Group, and willing to participate in this Agreement
through the Liquidity Termination Date in the place of such Affected Financial
Institution; provided that the Affected Financial Institution receives payment
in full, pursuant to an Assignment Agreement, of an amount equal to such
Financial Institution's Pro Rata Share of the Aggregate Capital and Yield owing
to the Financial Institutions in such Affected Financial Institution's Purchaser
Group and all accrued but unpaid fees and other costs and expenses payable in
respect of its Pro Rata Share of the Purchaser Interests of the Financial
Institutions in such Affected Financial Institution's Purchaser Group.

            Section 12.2 Participations. Any Financial Institution may, in the
ordinary course of its business at any time sell to one or more Persons (each a
"Participant") participating interests in its Pro Rata Share of the Purchaser
Interests of the Financial Institutions in such Financial Institution's
Purchaser Group or any other interest of such Financial Institution hereunder.
Notwithstanding any such sale by a Financial Institution of a participating
interest to a Participant, such Financial Institution's rights and obligations
under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Financial Institution shall
remain solely responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and

                                                            AMENDED AND RESTATED

Seller, each Company and the Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly
with such Financial Institution in connection with such Financial Institution's
rights and obligations under this Agreement. Each Financial Institution agrees
that any agreement between such Financial Institution and any such Participant
in respect of such participating interest shall not restrict such Financial
Institution's right to agree to any amendment, supplement, waiver or
modification to this Agreement, except for any amendment, supplement, waiver or
modification described in Section 13.1(b)(i).

                                  ARTICLE XIII
                                  MISCELLANEOUS

            Section 13.1 Waivers and Amendments. (a) No failure or delay on the
part of the Agent or any Purchaser in exercising any power, right or remedy
under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any such power, right or remedy preclude any other further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power, right or remedy. The rights
and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and nonexclusive of any rights
or remedies provided by law. Any waiver of this Agreement shall be effective
only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

                  (b) No provision of this Agreement may be amended,
supplemented, modified or waived except in writing in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 13.1(b). Each Company, Seller and the Agent, at the
direction of the Required Purchasers, may enter into written modifications or
waivers of any provisions of this Agreement, provided, however, that no such
modification or waiver shall:

      extend the Liquidity Termination Date or the date of any payment or
      deposit of Collections by Seller or the Servicer, (B) reduce the rate or
      extend the time of payment of Yield or any CP Costs (or any component of
      Yield or CP Costs), (C) reduce any fee payable to the Agent for the
      benefit of the Purchasers, (D) except pursuant to Article XII hereof,
      change the amount of the Capital of any Purchaser, any Financial

      than, to the extent applicable, pursuant to Section 4.6 or the terms of
      any Funding Agreement), (E) amend, modify or waive any provision of the
      definition of Required Purchasers or this Section 13.1(b) or Section 4.6
      or Section 13.6, (F) consent to or permit the assignment or transfer by
      Seller of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, or (G)
      amend or modify any defined term (or any defined term used directly or
      indirectly in such defined term) used in clauses (A) through (F) above in
      a manner that would circumvent the intention of the restrictions set forth

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

                        (iii) without the written consent of the Agent and each
      Purchaser (A) amend, modify or waive any Potential Amortization Event or

      intention of the restrictions set forth in such clauses.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) without the consent of the Financial
Institutions, but with the consent of Seller, the Agent may amend this Agreement
solely to add additional Persons as Financial Institutions hereunder and (ii)
the Agent, the Required Purchasers and each Company may enter into amendments to
modify any of the terms or provisions of Article XI, Section 13.13 or any other
provision of this Agreement without the consent of Seller, provided that such
amendment has no negative impact upon Seller. Any modification or waiver made in
accordance with this Section 13.1 shall apply to each of the Purchasers equally
and shall be binding upon Seller, the Purchasers and the Agent.

            Section 13.2 Notices. Except as provided in this Section 13.2, all
communications and notices provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including
bank wire, telecopy or electronic facsimile transmission or similar writing) and
shall be given to the other parties hereto at their respective addresses or
telecopy numbers set forth on the signature pages hereof or at such other
address or telecopy number as such Person may hereafter specify for the purpose
of notice to each of the other parties hereto. Each such notice or other
communication shall be effective (i) if given by telecopy, upon the receipt
thereof, (ii) if given by mail, three (3) Business Days after the time such
communication is deposited in the mail with first class postage prepaid or (iii)

Section 13.2. Seller hereby authorizes the Agent and the Purchasers to effect
purchases and selections of Tranche Periods and Discount Rates based on
telephonic notices made by any Person whom the Agent or applicable Purchaser in
good faith believes to be acting on behalf of Seller. Seller agrees to deliver
promptly to the Agent and each applicable Purchaser a written confirmation of
each telephonic notice signed by an authorized officer of Seller; provided,
however, the absence of such confirmation shall not affect the validity of such
notice. If the written confirmation differs from the action taken by the Agent
or applicable Purchaser, the records of the Agent or applicable Purchaser shall
govern absent manifest error.

            Section 13.3 Ratable Payments. If any Purchaser, whether by setoff
or otherwise, has payment made to it with respect to any portion of the
Aggregate Unpaids owing to such Purchaser (other than payments received pursuant
to Section 10.2 or 10.3) in a greater proportion than that received by any other
Purchaser entitled to receive a ratable share of such Aggregate Unpaids, such
Purchaser agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase for cash without recourse or
warranty a portion of such Aggregate Unpaids held by the other Purchasers so
that after such purchase each Purchaser will hold its ratable proportion of such
Aggregate Unpaids; provided that if all or any portion of such excess amount is
thereafter recovered from such Purchaser, such purchase shall be rescinded and
the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without
interest.

            Section 13.4 Protection of Ownership Interests of the Purchasers.
(a) Seller agrees that from time to time, at its expense, it will promptly
execute and deliver all instruments and documents, and take all actions, that
may be necessary or desirable, or that the Agent may request, to perfect,
protect or more fully evidence the Purchaser Interests, or to enable the Agent
or the Purchasers to exercise and enforce their rights and remedies hereunder.
Without limiting the foregoing, Seller will, upon the request of the Agent, file
such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto or assignments
thereof, and execute and file such other instruments and documents, that may be
necessary or desirable, or that the Agent may reasonably request, to perfect,
protect or evidence such Purchaser Interest. At any time after an Amortization
Event or Potential Amortization Event shall have occurred and be continuing, the
Agent may, or the Agent may direct Seller or the Servicer to, notify the Obligor
of Receivables, at Seller's expense, of the ownership or security interests of
the Purchasers under this Agreement and may also direct that payments of all
amounts due or that become due under any or all Receivables be made directly to
the Agent or its designee. Seller or the Servicer (as applicable) shall, at any
Purchaser's request, withhold the identity of such Purchaser in any such
notification.

                  (b) If any Seller Party fails to perform any of its
obligations hereunder, the Agent or any Purchaser may (but shall not be required
to) perform, or cause performance of, such obligations, and the Agent's or such
Purchaser's costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith shall be payable
by Seller as provided in Section 10.3. Each Seller Party irrevocably authorizes
the Agent at any time and from time to time after the occurrence of any
Amortization Event in the sole discretion of the Agent, and appoints the Agent
as its attorney-in-fact, to act on behalf of such Seller Party (i) to authorize
on behalf of such Seller Party as debtor and to file financing or continuation
statements (and amendments thereto and assignments thereof) necessary or
desirable in the Agent's sole discretion to perfect and to maintain the
perfection and priority of the interest of the Purchasers in the Receivables and
(ii) to file a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement or
any financing statement with respect to the Receivables as a financing statement
in such offices as the Agent in its sole discretion deems necessary or desirable
to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the interests of the
Purchasers in the Receivables. This appointment is coupled with an interest and
is irrevocable. The authorization by each Seller Party set forth in the

                                                            AMENDED AND RESTATED

second sentence of this Section 13.4(b) is intended to meet all requirements for
authorization by a debtor under Article 9 of any applicable enactment of the
UCC, including, without limitation, Section 9-509 thereof.

            Section 13.5 Confidentiality. (a) Each Seller Party and each
Purchaser shall maintain and shall cause each of its employees and officers to
maintain the confidentiality of this Agreement, except as required by law, and
the other confidential or proprietary information with respect to the Agent and
each Purchaser and their respective businesses obtained by it or them in
connection with the structuring, negotiating and execution of the transactions
contemplated herein, except that such Seller Party and such Purchaser and its
officers and employees may disclose such information to such Seller Party's and
such Purchaser's external accountants and attorneys and as required by any law,
rule, regulation, direction, request or order of any judicial, administrative or
regulatory authority or proceedings (whether or not having the force or effect
of law), including disclosure in the financial statements of each of the Seller
Parties of the existence and financial effects of the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement.

                  (a) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each
Seller Party hereby consents to the disclosure of any nonpublic information with
respect to it (i) to the Agent, the Financial Institutions or the Companies by
each other, (ii) by the Agent or the Purchasers to any prospective or actual
assignee or participant of any of them and (iii) by the Agent or any Purchaser
to any rating agency, Funding Source, Commercial Paper dealer or provider of a
surety, guaranty or credit or liquidity enhancement to any Company or any entity
organized for the purpose of purchasing, or making loans secured by, financial
assets for which Bank One or Scotia acts as the administrative agent and to any
officers, directors, employees, outside accountants and attorneys of any of the
foregoing. In addition, the Purchasers and the Agent may disclose any such
nonpublic information pursuant to any law, rule, regulation, direction, request
or order of any judicial, administrative or regulatory authority or proceedings
(whether or not having the force or effect of law). Except as provided in this
clause (b) above, the Agent, Bank One, NA (Main Office Chicago), as a Purchaser,
and the other Purchasers shall maintain and shall cause each of its employees
and officers to maintain the confidentiality of any confidential or proprietary
information with respect to the Seller Parties obtained by it or them in
connection with the structuring, negotiating and execution of the transactions
contemplated herein.

            Section 13.6 Bankruptcy Petition. Seller, the Servicer, the Agent
and each Purchaser hereby covenants and agrees that, prior to the date that is
one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding senior
indebtedness of any Company or any Funding Source that is a special purpose
bankruptcy remote entity, it will not institute against, or join any other
Person in instituting against, any Company or any such entity any bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or other
similar proceeding under the laws of the United States or any state of the
United States.

            Section 13.7 Limitation of Liability. Except with respect to any
claim arising out of the willful misconduct or gross negligence of any Company,
the Agent or any Financial Institution, no claim may be made by any Seller Party
or any other Person against any Company, the Agent or

therewith; and each Seller Party hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue
upon any claim for any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not
known or suspected to exist in its favor.

Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties
hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed
to be an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and
the same Agreement. Any provisions of this Agreement which are prohibited or

Bank One Role, Bank One may take, or refrain from taking, any action that it, in
its discretion, deems appropriate, including, without limitation, in its role as

the Agent for all representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities made by
Seller pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and (ii) such sale does not

the Agent or any assignee thereof of any obligation of Seller or Originator or
any other Person arising in connection with the Receivables, the Related
Security, or the related Contracts, or any other obligations of Seller or
Originator.

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

Account, all Related Security, all other rights and payments relating to such
Receivables, and all proceeds of any thereof prior to all other liens on and
security interests therein to secure the prompt and complete payment of the
Aggregate Unpaids. The Agent and the Purchasers shall have, in addition to the
rights and remedies that they may have under this Agreement, all other rights
and remedies provided to a secured creditor under the UCC (or any comparable
law) and other applicable law, which rights and remedies shall be cumulative.
