    AMOUNTS
AND TERMS OF THE LOANS

     

    SECTION
2.01.     The
Commitments.  On
the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, each Lender agrees to make a
Loan to the Borrower on the Effective Date in an amount equal to the lesser of
(a) such Lender’s Ratable Share of the then Borrowing Base, and (b) such
Lender’s Commitment.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein (including the immediately preceding sentence) (and without
affecting any other provisions hereof), the funded portion of the Loan to be
made by a Lender on the Effective Date (i.e., the amount advanced by
a Lender to the Borrower on the Effective Date) shall be equal to 97.00% of the
principal amount of such Loan (it being agreed that the full principal amount of
each such Loan will be deemed outstanding on the Effective Date and the Borrower
shall be obligated to repay 100% of the principal amount of each such Loan
(together with interest on such 100% of the principal amount of each such Loan)
as provided herein).  Amounts repaid or prepaid in respect of Loans
may not be reborrowed.  Unless previously terminated in accordance
with the terms of 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        21

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    this
Agreement, the Commitments shall terminate at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on
February 20, 2009.

     

    SECTION
2.02.      Loans and
Borrowings.

     

    (a)           Each
Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans of the same Type
made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the amounts of their
Commitments.  The failure of any Lender to make the Loan required to
be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder;
provided that the Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be
responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make a Loan as
required.

     

    (b)           Subject
to Section 2.10, each Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or
Eurodollar Loans as the Borrower may request in accordance
herewith.  Each Lender at its option may make any Eurodollar Loan by
causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such
Loan; provided
that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower
to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

     

    (c)           At
the commencement of each Interest Period for any Eurodollar Borrowing, such
Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of
$1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000.  At the time that each ABR
Borrowing is made, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an
integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than
$5,000,000.  Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at
the same time; provided that there shall not at any time be more than a total of
3 Eurodollar Borrowings outstanding.

     

    (d)           Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be entitled to
request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Borrowing if the Interest
Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Maturity
Date.

     

    SECTION
2.03.      Requests for
Borrowings.  To
request a Borrowing, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such
request by telephone (a) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than
11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of the
proposed Borrowing or (b) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than (1)
10:30 a.m., New York City time, on the Business Day of the proposed Borrowing,
in the case of Borrowings to be made on the same day as such notice is given or
(2) 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the Business Day before the proposed
Borrowing, in the case of all other Borrowings.  Each such telephonic
Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand
delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Request
in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the
Borrower.  Each such telephonic and written Borrowing Request shall
specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

     

    
      
        
          
            
              	 
      	
                      (i) 
      

                    	
                      the
      aggregate amount of such Borrowing;

                    
	 	 	 
	 
      	
                      (ii) 
      

                    	
                      the
      date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day and shall be the
      Effective Date;

                    

            

          

        

      

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          22

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      
        
          
            
              	 
      	
                      (iii) 
      

                    	
                      whether
      such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing;
      and

                    
	 	 	 
	 
      	
                      (iv) 
      

                    	
                      in
      the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be
      applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition
      of the term “Interest
Period.”

                    

            

          

        

      

    

     

    If
no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested
Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing.  If no Interest Period is
specified with respect to any requested Eurodollar Borrowing, then the Borrower
shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s
duration.  Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in
accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender
of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as
part of the requested Borrowing.

     

    SECTION
2.04.      Funding of
Borrowings.  (a)  Each
Lender shall make the Loan to be made by it hereunder on the Effective Date by
wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, New York City time,
on the Effective Date to the account of the Administrative Agent designated by
it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders.  The Administrative
Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower on the Effective Date by
wire transfer, in like funds, to the deposit account designated by the Borrower
in the Funds Transfer Letter.

     

    (b)           Unless
the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the
Effective Date that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative
Agent such Lender’s share of the Loans to be made on the Effective Date, the
Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available
on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in
reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding
amount.  In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of
the Loans available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and
the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on
demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and
including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but
excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the
case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined
by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on
interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate
applicable to ABR Loans.  If such Lender pays such amount to the
Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan
included in the Loans made on the Effective Date.

     

    SECTION
2.05.      Interest
Elections.  (a)  Each
Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the Borrowing Request and,
in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as
specified in such Borrowing Request.  Thereafter, the Borrower may
elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such
Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods
therefor, all as provided in this Section.  The Borrower may elect
different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing,
in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders,
and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate
Borrowing.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        23

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    (b)           To
make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the
Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing
Request would be required to be made under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were
requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on
the effective date of such election.  Each such telephonic Interest
Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand
delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election
Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the
Borrower.

     

    (c)           Each
telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following
information in compliance with Section 2.02 and paragraph (f) of this
Section:

     

    
      
        
          
            
              
                	 
      	
                        (i)

                      	
                        the
      Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if
      different options are being elected with respect to different portions
      thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing
      (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii)
      and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting
      Borrowing);

                      
	 	 	 
	 
      	
                        (ii)

                      	
                        the
      effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election
      Request, which shall be a Business Day;

                      
	 	 	 
	 
      	
                        (iii)

                      	
                        whether
      the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar
      Borrowing; and

                      
	 	 	 
	 
      	
                        (iv)

                      	
                        if
      the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period to
      be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be
      a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest
      Period”.

                      

              

            

          

        

      

    

     

    If
any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not
specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected
an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

     

    (d)           Promptly
following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent
shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of
each resulting Borrowing.

     

    (e)           If
the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to
a Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable
thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of
such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR
Borrowing.  Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the
request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an
Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to
or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar
Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest
Period applicable thereto.

     

    (f)           A
Borrowing may not be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing if
after giving effect thereto the Interest Period therefor would end after the
Maturity Date.

    SECTION
2.06.      Repayment of Loans; Evidence
of Indebtedness.  (a)  The
Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for
the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of the Loan of such
Lender as provided in Section 2.07.

     

    (b)           Each
Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or
accounts evidencing the Debt of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from the
Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest
payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this
Agreement.

     

    (c)           The
Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record
(i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and the
Interest Period, if any, applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or
interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each
Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative
Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share
thereof.

     

    (d)           The
entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this
Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the
obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the
Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in
any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

     

    (e)           Any
Lender may request that the Loan made by it be evidenced by a
Note.  In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver
to such Lender a Note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by
such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in the form attached
hereto as Annex F, or in such other form approved by the Administrative Agent
and the Borrower.  Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such Note and
interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to
Section 11.03) be represented by one or more Notes in such form payable to the
order of the payee named therein (or, if such Note is a registered note, to such
payee and its registered assigns).

     

    SECTION
2.07.      Repayment of
Loans.  To
the extent not previously paid, all Loans shall be due and payable on the
Maturity Date together with all accrued but unpaid interest owing hereunder and
all other unpaid Obligations.  If, at any time, the “Commitment
Termination Date” under, and as defined in, the Receivables Financing Agreement
shall occur or be declared or if the Receivables Financing Agreement shall be
terminated for any reason (whether by the Borrower, the RFA Program Agent or
otherwise), then, in any such case, the Borrower shall, concurrently with such
occurrence, declaration or termination, prepay the outstanding principal amount
of the Loans in full together with all accrued but unpaid interest owing
hereunder and all other unpaid Obligations.

     

    SECTION
2.08.      Prepayment of
Loans.  (a)  The
Borrower shall have the right, at any time and from time to time on or after the
date that is six months after the Effective Date, to prepay any Borrowing in
whole or in part, subject to the requirements of this Section; provided,
however, that any partial prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.08(a) shall
be in a principal amount that is a multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than
$5,000,000.  The Borrower 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        25

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    shall
have no right to voluntarily prepay any Borrowing at any time prior to the date
that is six months after the Effective Date.

     

    (b)           In
the event that on any date (each, a “Non-Compliance Date”)
the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Loans on such date shall
exceed the then Borrowing Base, then, subject to Section 2.19, during the
Cure Period applicable to such Non-Compliance Date, each of the Borrower and the
Collection Agent shall (and the Borrower hereby authorizes the Collection Agent
to) deposit any amount to be distributed to or otherwise received by the
Borrower hereunder or under the Receivables Financing Agreement out of
“Collections” (as defined herein or therein), into the Cure Account (up to an
aggregate amount equaling such excess).  At the end of the Cure Period
corresponding to any Non-Compliance Date, if the aggregate outstanding principal
balance of the Loans on such date exceeds the then Borrowing Base (the amount of
such excess being the “Required Cure Payment
Amount”), (y) the Administrative Agent shall apply all Cure Funds
then on deposit in the Cure Account, up to the applicable Required Cure Payment
Amount, as a prepayment of the Loans (and to the extent the Cure Funds on
deposit in the Cure Account exceeds such Required Cure Payment Amount and there
exists no Default or Event of Default, the Administrative Agent, upon the
Borrower’s written request together with an officer’s certificate of the
Borrower stating that, after taking into account the remittance of the excess
funds in the Cure Account to the Borrower, the Borrowing Base is equal to or
greater than the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Loans, shall
remit such excess to the Borrower), and (z) to the extent that the prepayment of
the Loans pursuant to the preceding clause (y) is less than the Required Cure
Payment Amount, the Borrower shall prepay the Loans in an amount of the
deficiency.  The Administrative Agent may, at any time during the
continuance of an Event of Default, transfer any and all of the Cure Funds then
on deposit in the Cure Account to the Administrative Agent’s Account for payment
of the Obligations and Collection Agent Fees in the manner set forth in
Section 2.19(c).

     

    (c)           Prior
to any optional or mandatory prepayment hereunder of less than all of the
Borrowings, the Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be prepaid
and shall specify such selection in the notice of such prepayment pursuant to
paragraph (d) of this Section.  If the Borrower shall fail to so
specify the Borrowing or Borrowings to be prepaid prior to such prepayment, the
Administrative Agent may apply any such prepayment to such Borrowing or
Borrowings as the Administrative Agent may elect.

     

    (d)           The
Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by
telecopy) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a
Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three
Business Days before the date of prepayment, or (ii) in the case of prepayment
of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, one Business
Day before the date of prepayment.  Each such notice shall be
irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date, the Borrowings to be prepaid
and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid and,
in the case of a mandatory prepayment, a reasonably detailed calculation of the
amount of such prepayment.  Promptly following receipt of any such
notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents
thereof.  Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an
amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the
same Type as provided in Section 2.02, except as necessary to apply fully the
required amount of a mandatory prepayment.  Each prepayment of a
Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        26

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    in
the prepaid Borrowing.  Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued
interest on the principal amount being prepaid.

     

    SECTION
2.09.      Interest.  (a)  The
Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at the Alternate Base
Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

     

    (b)           The
Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted
LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the
Applicable Margin.

     

    (c)           Notwithstanding
the foregoing, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of
Default, at the option of the Administrative Agent or at the request of the
Required Lenders, the Borrower shall pay interest on all of the Obligations to
but excluding the date of actual payment, after as well as before judgment, (i)
in the case of principal, at a rate per annum equal to 2% plus the rate
otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of
this Section and (ii) in the case of any other amount, at a rate per annum equal
to the highest rate then payable on any of the Loans (or, if there are no Loans
then outstanding, at a rate per annum equal to 2% plus the Alternate Base Rate
plus the Applicable Margin for ABR Loans).

     

    (d)           Accrued
interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date
for such Loan and on the Maturity Date; provided that (i) interest accrued
pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in
the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan, accrued interest on the
principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such
repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any
Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor,
accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such
conversion, together with any amounts due and payable pursuant to Section
2.12.

     

    (e)           All
interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and
shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day
but excluding the last day).  The applicable Alternate Base Rate or
Adjusted LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such
determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

     

    SECTION
2.10.      Alternate Rate of
Interest.  If
prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar
Borrowing:

     

    (a)           the
Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent
manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining
the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period; or

     

    (b)           the
Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO
Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to
such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for
such Interest Period;

     

    then
the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the
Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and,
until the Administrative Agent 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        27

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    notifies
the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice
no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion
of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing
shall be ineffective and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar
Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing.

     

    SECTION
2.11.      Increased
Costs.  (a)  If
any Change in Law shall:

     

    
      
        
          
            	 
      	
                    (i)

                  	
                    impose,
      modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar
      requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or
      credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement
      reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate); or

                  
	 	 	 
	 
      	
                    (ii)

                  	
                    impose
      on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition affecting
      this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such
  Lender;

                  

          

        

      

    

     

    and
the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender
of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligation
to make any such Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable
by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the
Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will
compensate such Lender, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred
or reduction suffered.

     

    (b)           If
any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has
or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital
or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of
this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such
Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change
in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of
such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time
to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts
as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such
reduction suffered.  Each Lender will promptly notify the Borrower and
the Administrative Agent of any event of which it has knowledge that will
entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant to this Section 2.11; provided that
the failure to provide such notification will not affect such Lender’s rights to
compensation hereunder.

     

    (c)           A
certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to
compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified
in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and
shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The Borrower shall pay
such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after
receipt thereof.

     

    (d)           Failure
or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this
Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such
compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a
Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred
more than 270 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of
the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such
Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the
Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        28

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    or
reductions is retroactive, then the 270-day period referred to above shall be
extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

     

    SECTION
2.12.      Break Funding
Payments.  In
the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than
on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result
of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on
the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to
borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in
any notice delivered pursuant hereto, or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar
Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a
result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.16, then, in any such
event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense
attributable to such event.  In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such
loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to consist of an amount
determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of
interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such
event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to
such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the
then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow,
convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for
such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such
principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would
bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a
comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar
market.  A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or
amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall
be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest
error.  The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on
any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

     

    SECTION
2.13.      Fees.  (a) The
Borrower shall pay to the Collection Agent a fee (the “Collection Agent
Fee”) of 1% per annum on the average daily Outstanding Balance of the
Receivables and Participated Receivables, from the date of this Agreement until
the date on which all outstanding Obligations shall have been paid in full,
payable in arrears on each Distribution Date.  Upon three Business
Days’ notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the Collection Agent
(if not an Originator, the Borrower or its designee or an Affiliate of the
Borrower) may elect to be paid, as such fee, another percentage per annum on the
average daily Outstanding Balance of the Receivables and Participated
Receivable, but in no event in excess of 110% of the reasonable costs and
expenses of the Collection Agent in administering and collecting the Receivables
and Participated Receivables.  The Collection Agent Fee shall be
payable only from Collections received by the Borrower pursuant to, and subject
to the priority of payment set forth in, Section 2.19.  The amounts
paid as the “Collection Agent Fee” under, and as defined in, the Receivables
Financing Agreement or any Purchase Agreement shall reduce (but not below zero
dollars), on a dollar-for-dollar basis, the obligation of the Borrower to pay
the Collection Agent Fee pursuant to this Section 2.13(a).

     

    (b)           The
Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Persons
entitled thereto certain fees (collectively, the “Fees”) in the amounts
and on the dates set forth in a separate fee agreement of even date herewith
among the Borrower, the Administrative

    Agent
and Citigroup Global Markets Inc., as the same may be amended or restated from
time to time (the “Fee
Agreement”).

     

    (c)           If
any portion of the Loans are prepaid prior to the date that is six months before
the Maturity Date, whether pursuant to the second sentence of Section 2.07
or Section 2.08 or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement (including, without
limitation, any required prepayment following the occurrence of an Event of
Default), and whether such prepayment is mandatory or voluntary, the Borrower
shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, a
prepayment fee equal to 1.0% of the principal amount of the Loans being so
prepaid, which prepayment fee shall be due and payable on the date of the
applicable prepayment.

     

    SECTION
2.14.      Taxes.  (a) Any
and all payments and deposits required to be made hereunder or under any other
Transaction Document by the Collection Agent or the Borrower shall be made free
and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes,
levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with
respect thereto, excluding net income
taxes that are imposed by the United States and franchise taxes and net income
taxes that are imposed on the Administrative Agent, a Lender or any of its
Affiliates (each of the foregoing, an “Affected Person”) by
the state or foreign jurisdiction under the laws of which such Affected Person
is organized or any political subdivision thereof (all such non-excluded taxes,
levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being
hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”).  If
the Borrower or the Collection Agent shall be required by law to deduct any
Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Affected Person,
(i) the Borrower shall make an additional payment to such Affected Person, in an
amount sufficient so that, after making all required deductions (including
deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.14), such
Affected Person receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had
no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower or the Collection Agent, as the
case may be, shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower or the Collection
Agent, as the case may be, shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant
taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable
law.

     

    (b)           In
addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp or other
documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar
levies which arise from any payment made hereunder or under any other
Transaction Document or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or
otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document
(hereinafter referred to as “Other
Taxes”).

     

    (c)           The
Borrower will indemnify each Affected Person for the full amount of Taxes or
Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by
any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.14) paid by such
Affected Person and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses)
arising therefrom or with respect thereto whether or not such Taxes or Other
Taxes were correctly or legally asserted.  This indemnification shall
be made within thirty days from the date the Affected Person makes written
demand therefor (and a copy of such demand if delivered by other than the
Administrative Agent shall be delivered to the Administrative
Agent).  A certificate as to the amount of such indemnification
submitted to the Borrower and, with respect to any notification 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        30

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    by
any Lender, to the Administrative Agent, setting forth, in reasonable detail,
the basis for and the calculation thereof, shall be conclusive and binding for
all purposes absent manifest error.

     

    (d)           Each
Affected Person which is organized outside the United States and which is
entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax under the laws
of the United States as in effect on the date hereof (or, in the case of any
Person which becomes an Affected Person after the date hereof, on the date on
which it so becomes an Affected Person with respect to any payments under this
Agreement) shall, on or prior to the date hereof (or, in the case of any Person
who becomes an Affected Person after the date hereof, on or prior to the date on
which it so becomes an Affected Person), deliver to the Borrower such
certificates, documents or other evidence, as required by the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended or Treasury Regulations issued pursuant thereto,
including Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI and any other
certificate or statement of exemption required by Treasury Regulation Section
1.1441-1(a) or Section 1.1441-6(c) or any subsequent version thereof, properly
completed and duly executed by such Affected Person as will permit such payments
to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate.  Each such
Affected Person shall from time to time thereafter, upon written request from
the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower any new certificates, documents or other
evidence as described in the preceding sentence as will permit payments under
this Agreement to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate (but only so
long as such Affected Person is legally able to do so).

     

    (e)           The
Borrower shall not be required to pay any amounts to any Affected Person in
respect of Taxes and Other Taxes pursuant to paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) above
if the obligation to pay such amounts is attributable to the failure by such
Affected Person to comply with the provisions of paragraph (d) above; provided, however, that should
an Affected Person become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a
form required hereunder, the Borrower shall take such steps as such Affected
Person shall reasonably request to assist such Affected Person to recover such
Taxes.

     

    SECTION
2.15.      Payments Generally; Pro Rata
Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs.  (a)  Each
of the Borrower and the Collection Agent shall make each payment or deposit
required to be made by it hereunder or under any other Transaction Document
(whether of principal, interest, fees, or otherwise) prior to the time expressly
required hereunder or under such other Transaction Document for such payment or
deposit (or, if no such time is expressly required, prior to 12:00 noon, New
York City time), on the date when due or when such deposit is required to be
made, in immediately available funds, without setoff or
counterclaim.  Any amounts received after such time on any date may,
in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received
on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest
thereon.  All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent
at its offices at 390 Greenwich Street, New York, NY 10013, except that
payments pursuant to Sections 2.11, 2.12, 2.14, 10.01 and 11.04 shall be made
directly to the Persons entitled thereto and payments pursuant to other
Transaction Documents shall be made to the Persons specified
therein.  The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments
received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient
promptly following receipt thereof.  If any payment or deposit under
any Transaction Document shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the
date for payment or deposit shall be extended to the next succeeding Business
Day, and, in the case of any payment or deposit accruing interest, interest
thereon shall be payable for the period 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        31

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    of
such extension.  All payments under each Transaction Document shall be
made in United States dollars.

     

    (b)           If
at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the
Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest, fees and
other Obligations then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied in the order
of payment of Obligations set forth in Section 2.19.

     

    (c)           If
any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or
otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of
its Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of
the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon than the
proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater
proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans
of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such
payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate
relative amounts of principal of and accrued interest on their Loans; provided
that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the
payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded
and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without
interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed
to apply to any payment made by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to and in
accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a
Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any
of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any
Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph
shall apply).  The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to
the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender
acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise
against the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such
participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower
in the amount of such participation.

     

    (d)           Unless
the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to
the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account
of the Lenders that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative
Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in
accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the
Lenders the amount due.  In such event, if the Borrower has not in
fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to
the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such
Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such
amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the
Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate
determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules
on interbank compensation.

     

    (e)           If
any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to
Section 2.04(b), 2.15(d) or 8.04, then the Administrative Agent may, in its
discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts
thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender
to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such
unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

    SECTION
2.16.      Mitigation Obligations;
Replacement of Lenders.  (a)  If
any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.11, or if the Borrower is
required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental
Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.14, then such
Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for
funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations
hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment
of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce
amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.11 or 2.14, as the case may be, in the
future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or
expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such
Lender.  The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and
expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or
assignment.

     

    (b)           If
(i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.11, (ii) the Borrower
is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental
Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.14 or
(iii) any Lender refuses to consent to any amendment or waiver of any
Transaction Document requested by the Borrower that requires the consent of all
Lenders, and such amendment or waiver is consented to by the Supermajority
Lenders, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to
such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and
delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions
contained in Section 11.03), all its interests, rights and obligations under
this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee
may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that
(i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the
Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii)
such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding
principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other
amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such
outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the
case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment
resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.11 or payments
required to be made pursuant to Section 2.14, such assignment will result in a
material reduction in such compensation or payments.  A Lender shall
not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as
a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling
the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to
apply.

     

    SECTION
2.17.      Security
Interest.  To
secure the performance by the Borrower of all the terms, covenants and
agreements on the part of the Borrower (whether as Borrower or otherwise) to be
performed under this Agreement or any document delivered in connection with this
Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof, including, without limitation,
the punctual payment when due of all obligations of the Borrower hereunder or
thereunder, whether for principal, interest, fees, indemnification payments,
expenses or otherwise (all of the foregoing, collectively, the “Obligations”), the
Borrower hereby assigns to the Administrative Agent for its benefit and the
ratable benefit of the Lenders, and hereby grants to the Administrative Agent
for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Lenders a security interest in,
all of the Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to the following
(collectively, the “Collateral”):  (A)
the Purchase Agreements and the Parent Undertakings, including, without
limitation, (i) all rights of the Borrower to receive moneys due or to become
due under or pursuant to the Purchase Agreements or the Parent Undertakings,
(ii) all security interests and property subject thereto from time to

    time
purporting to secure payment of monies due or to become due under or pursuant to
the Purchase Agreements or the Parent Undertakings, (iii) all rights of the
Borrower to receive proceeds of any insurance, indemnity, warranty or guaranty
with respect to the Purchase Agreements or the Parent Undertakings, (iv) claims
of the Borrower for damages arising out of or for breach of or default under the
Purchase Agreements or the Parent Undertakings, and (v) the right of the
Borrower to compel performance and otherwise exercise all remedies thereunder,
(B) all Transferred Assets, whether now owned and existing or hereafter acquired
or arising, the Related Security and Collections with respect thereto and all
other assets of the Borrower, including, without limitation, accounts, chattel
paper, instruments, payment intangibles and general intangibles (as those terms
are defined in the UCC), including undivided interests in any of the foregoing,
(C) the Lock-Boxes and Deposit Accounts and (D) to the extent not included in
the foregoing, all proceeds of any and all of the foregoing.

     

    SECTION
2.18.      Right of
Setoff.  Without
in any way limiting the provisions of Section 2.15(c), the Administrative
Agent and each Lender is hereby authorized (in addition to any other rights it
may have) at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default to set-off, appropriate and apply (without presentment, demand,
protest or other notice which are hereby expressly waived) any deposits and any
other indebtedness held or owing by the Administrative Agent or such Lender to,
or for the account of, the Borrower, the Collection Agent or any Originator
against any amount owing by the Borrower, the Collection Agent or such
Originator, respectively, to such Person or to the Administrative Agent on
behalf of such Person (even if contingent or unmatured).

     

    SECTION
2.19.      Settlement
Procedures.  (a)  On

follows:

     

    (A)           If
on such date no Event of Default is continuing:

          34

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      
        
          
            
              
                	 
      	 
      	
                        Agent’s
      Account in respect thereof is less than the sum of the accrued and unpaid
      interest, Fees and Collection Agent Fees owing hereunder as of such date
      and the Administrative Agent Amounts;

      Section 2.08(b), to be held by the Administrative Agent for the
      benefit of the Beneficiaries and distributed in accordance with

                        (iii)

                      	
                        Third, if such
      date is the Maturity Date, to be deposited into the Administrative Agent’s
      Account for the benefit of the Beneficiaries and the Collection Agent, an
      amount equal to all unpaid principal and interest on the Loans and all
      other unpaid Obligations and unpaid Collection Agent Fees, to the extent
      such amount is not then on deposit in the Administrative Agent’s Account;
      and

                      
	 	 	 
	 
      	
                        (iv)

                      	
                        Thereafter, to
      be deposited into the Borrower’s
Account.

                      

              

            

          

        

      

    

     

     

    (B)           If
on such date an Event of Default is continuing:

     

    
      
        
          
            	 
      	
                    (i)

                  	
                    First, to be
      deposited into the Administrative Agent’s Account for the benefit of the
      Beneficiaries and the Collection Agent, the entire such amount to be
      applied to the payment in full of the Obligations and Collection Agent
      Fees; and

                  
	 	 	 
	 
      	
                    (ii)

                  	
                    Thereafter,
      once all Obligations and Collection Agent Fees have been paid in full, to
      be deposited into the Borrower’s
Account.

                  

          

        

      

    

     

    For
purposes of determining the amount to be deposited into the Administrative
Agent’s Account pursuant to the preceding clause (A)(i) with respect to
interest, Fees and Administrative Agent Amounts, the Administrative Agent shall,
from time to time, provide written notice to the Collection Agent and the
Borrower of the estimated per diem accrual amount of interest and Fees and of
the Administrative Agent Amounts.  The Borrower agrees that it shall
not instruct the Collection Agent to direct the RFA Trustee to hold in the RFA
Trustee’s Account all or a portion of any Collections that otherwise would be
deposited into the Borrower’s Account (as defined in the Receivables Financing
Agreement) pursuant to the terms of the Receivables Financing Agreement if doing
so would reduce the amounts that would otherwise be deposited into the
Administrative Agent’s Account or the Cure Account pursuant to any of clauses
(A) (i), (ii) or (iii) above.  The Borrower hereby authorizes the
Administrative Agent, at any time and from time to time upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or if the aggregate
outstanding principal balance of the Loans exceeds the Borrowing Base or if the
Maturity Date shall occur, to instruct the RFA Trustee to disburse to the
Administrative Agent any and all amounts held by or otherwise in the possession
or control of the RFA Trustee (including, without limitation, in the RFA
Trustee’s Account) that are to be deposited into the Borrower’s Account (as
defined in the Receivables Financing Agreement) or otherwise paid to or for the
benefit of the Borrower pursuant to the terms of the Receivables Financing
Agreement.  

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        35

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    Any
such amounts received by the Administrative Agent under the preceding sentence
shall be deposited into the Administrative Agent’s Account and distributed in
the manner provided in this Section 2.19.

     

    (b)           On
each date on which any accrued interest, Fees or Collection Agent Fees are due
and payable hereunder or any Administrative Agent Amounts have not been
reimbursed or are due and payable and, in each case, there exists no Event of
Default and such date is not the Maturity Date, the Administrative Agent shall
distribute the amount then on deposit in the Administrative Agent’s Account in
respect thereof to, in the case of any such interest, Fees and Administrative
Agent Amounts, the Administrative Agent or Lender entitled to receive the same
and, in the case of any such Collection Agent Fees, to the Collection Agent;
provided, that
if on any such date there shall be insufficient amounts on deposit in the
Administrative Agent’s Account in respect thereof, such amounts shall be
distributed (i) first, to the
Administrative Agent for Administrative Agent Amounts, (ii) second, to the
Collection Agent (if the Collection Agent is other than an Originator or one of
its Affiliates) for due and payable Collection Agent Fees, (iii) third, ratably to the
Administrative Agent and Lenders entitled to receive same for due and payable
accrued interest and Fees and (iv) fourth, to the
Collection Agent (if the Collection Agent is an Originator or one of its
Affiliates) for due and payable Collection Agent Fees.

     

    (c)           During
the continuance of an Event of Default or if the Maturity Date shall occur, the
Administrative Agent shall distribute the amount on deposit in the
Administrative Agent’s Account to the payment of the Obligations and Collection
Agent Fees in the following order: (i) first, to the
Administrative Agent for Administrative Agent Amounts, (ii) second, to the
Collection Agent (if the Collection Agent is other than an Originator or one of
its Affiliates) for accrued and unpaid Collection Agent Fees, (iii) third, ratably to the
Administrative Agent and Lenders entitled to receive same for accrued and unpaid
interest and Fees, (iv) fourth, ratably to
the Lenders in reduction of the aggregate outstanding principal on the Loans
until such principal is reduced to zero, (v) fifth, ratably to the
Beneficiaries for other unpaid Obligations and (vi) sixth, to the
Collection Agent (if the Collection Agent is an Originator or one of its
Affiliates) for accrued and unpaid Collection Agent Fees.

     

    (d)           Nothing
in this Section 2.19 shall relieve the Borrower of any obligation to pay any
Obligation or Collection Agent Fee hereunder as and when the same shall be due
and payable or to deposit into the Cure Account the amount then required to be
deposited pursuant to Section 2.08(b).  If, on the date any
Obligations or Collection Agent Fees are payable to the Administrative Agent,
any Lender or the Collection Agent hereunder, the amount then on deposit in the
Administrative Agent’s Account in respect thereof is less than the amount
thereof then due and payable, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent
for the benefit of the relevant Beneficiaries or the Collection Agent, as
applicable, on such due date, the amount of such deficiency.

     

    (e)           If
at any time any payment of any Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be
returned by a Beneficiary for any reason, effective upon such rescission or
return such payment shall automatically be deemed, as between the Beneficiaries
and the Borrower, never to have occurred, and the Borrower shall be required, to
the extent it received any amounts 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        36

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    under
this Section 2.19 or otherwise, to remit to the Administrative Agent for the
account of the applicable Beneficiaries an amount equal to the rescinded or
returned payment.

    (c)           as
of the Effective Date, the following statements shall be true (and acceptance of

warranty by the Borrower, the Parent and the Collection Agent (each as to

      shall have been sold or contributed to the purchaser under each Purchase
      Agreement, all Participation Interests in all Originator Receivables which
      are Governmental Receivables arising on or prior to such date;

      “Event of Termination” or “Incipient Event of Termination” under, and as

    (d)           the
Administrative Agent shall have received a completed Borrower Report, a
completed Interim Report and a completed Daily Report containing information
covering the most recently ended reporting period for which information is
required pursuant to Section 6.02(g) of the Receivables Financing Agreement and
demonstrating that, after giving effect to the making of the Loans hereunder, no
Event of Default or Default will occur and the Borrowing Base will equal or
exceed the aggregate original principal amount of the Loans and the
Administrative Agent shall be satisfied with the calculation of the borrowing
base under the Receivables Financing Agreement (including, without limitation,
the concentration limits utilized in such calculation).

     

    (e)           in
the reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent, (i) since March 1,
2008, there shall have been no material adverse change in the business, assets,
liabilities, condition (financial or otherwise), operations or prospects of the
Borrower, Parent, any Originator, HQ or Cayman SPE I, and (ii) since January 22,
2009, there shall have occurred no circumstance, change or condition in the loan
syndication, financial or capital markets generally that could reasonably be
expected to materially impair syndication of the Loans.

its understanding, based on the information previously provided to it, of the
business, assets, liabilities, condition (financial or otherwise), operations or
prospects of the Borrower, Parent, any Originator, HQ or Cayman SPE
I.

     

    (g)           the
Administrative Agent shall have had an opportunity to conduct a take-over audit
of the Collateral and the results of such audit shall have been satisfactory to
the Administrative Agent.

     

    (h)           the
Administrative Agent shall have received such other approvals, opinions or
documents as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request.

    REPRESENTATIONS
AND WARRANTIES

     

    SECTION
4.01.      Representations and
Warranties of the Borrower.  The
Borrower hereby represents and warrants as follows, which representations and
warranties shall be deemed repeated on each day during the Term:

     

    (a)           The
Borrower is an exempted company incorporated with limited liability validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the Cayman Islands, and is duly
qualified to do business, and is in good standing, in every jurisdiction where
the nature of its business requires it to be so qualified.

     

    (b)           The
execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of the Transaction Documents
to which it is a party and the other documents to be delivered by it hereunder,
including the Borrower’s use of the proceeds of the Loans, (i) are within the
Borrower’s corporate powers, (ii) have been duly authorized by all necessary
corporate action, (iii) do not contravene (1) the Borrower’s Memorandum and
Articles of Association, (2) any law, rule or regulation applicable to the
Borrower, (3) any contractual restriction binding on or affecting the Borrower
or its property or (4) any order, writ, judgment, award, injunction or decree
binding on or affecting the Borrower or its property, and (iv) do not result in
or require the creation of any lien, security interest or other charge or
encumbrance upon or with respect to any of its properties (except for the
interest created pursuant to this Agreement).  Each of the Transaction
Documents to which the Borrower is a party has been duly executed and delivered
by the Borrower.

     

    (c)           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,
delivery and performance by the Borrower of the Transaction Documents to which
it is a party or any other document to be delivered thereunder, except for the
filing of UCC financing statements which are referred to herein and
therein.

     

    (d)           Each
of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party constitutes the legal, valid
and binding obligation of the Borrower enforceable against the Borrower in
accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
moratorium or other 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        41

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    similar
laws affecting the rights of creditors generally and general equitable
principles (whether considered in a proceeding at law or in
equity).

     

    (e)           Since
its date of formation, August 11, 2004, there has been no material adverse
change in the business, operations, property, prospects or financial or other
condition of the Borrower.

     

    (f)           Except
as set forth in Schedule V or as otherwise disclosed by the Parent in its
publicly available SEC filings, there is no pending or threatened action,
investigation or proceeding affecting the Borrower, the Parent or any of their
Subsidiaries before any court, governmental agency or arbitrator which if
determined adversely to any of them, could reasonably be expected, individually
or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

     

    (g)           No
proceeds of any Loans will be used to acquire any equity security of a class
which is registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934.

     

    (h)           The
Borrower is the legal and beneficial owner of the Transferred Assets and Related
Security free and clear of any Adverse Claim (other than the security interests
therein granted under the Receivables Financing Agreement subject to the RFA
Intercreditor Agreement).  The Administrative Agent for the benefit of
the Lenders has a valid and perfected security interest in each Transferred
Asset now existing or hereafter arising and in the Related Security and
Collections with respect thereto, second only in priority to the security
interests granted under the Receivables Financing Agreement that are the subject
of the RFA Intercreditor Agreement.  No effective financing statement
or other instrument similar in effect covering any Collateral is on file in any
recording office, except (i) those relating to the Credit Agreement and the
Indentures, all of which the Borrower represents relate to security interests
that are subject to the Senior Collateral Intercreditor Agreement, (ii) those
relating to the Receivables Financing Agreement, all of which the Borrower
represents relate to security interests that are subject to the RFA
Intercreditor Agreement, (iii) those filed in favor of the Administrative Agent
relating to this Agreement and (iv) those filed pursuant to the Purchase
Agreements.  Each Transferred Asset characterized in any Borrower
Report or other written statement made by or on behalf of the Borrower as an
Eligible Receivable or Eligible Participation Interest, or as included in the
Borrowing Base is, as of the date of such Borrower Report or other statement
(or, if applicable, as of a date certain specified in such report), an Eligible
Receivable or Eligible Participation Interest, as properly included in the
Borrowing Base.

     

    (i)           Each
Borrower Report, Interim Report and Daily Report (if prepared by the Borrower or
one of its Affiliates, or to the extent that information contained therein is
supplied by the Borrower or an Affiliate), information, exhibit, financial
statement, document, book, record or report furnished or to be furnished at any
time by or on behalf of the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders
in connection with and before or after the date of this Agreement is or will be
accurate in all material respects as of its date or (except as otherwise
disclosed to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, as the case may be, at
such time) as of the date so furnished (or, if applicable, as of a date certain
specified in such report), and no such document contains or will contain any
untrue statement of a material fact or omits or will omit to state a material
fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein, in the light
of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        42

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    (j)           The
principal place of business and chief executive office of the Borrower and the
office where the Borrower keeps its records concerning the Transferred Assets
are located at the address or addresses referred to in Section
5.01(b).

     

    (k)           The
names and addresses of all the Deposit Banks and Account Banks, together with
the post office boxes and account numbers of the Lock-Boxes, Deposit Accounts
and Governmental Entity Receivables Accounts, as the case may be, of the
Borrower at such banks, are as specified in Schedule I hereto, as such Schedule
I may be updated from time to time pursuant to Section 5.01(g).  The
Lock-Boxes, Deposit Accounts and Governmental Entity Receivables Accounts, as
the case may be, are the only post office boxes and bank accounts into which
Collections of Receivables and Participated Receivables are deposited or
remitted.  The Borrower has delivered to the Administrative Agent a
fully executed Deposit Account Agreement or Governmental Entity Receivables
Agreement with respect to each Deposit Account, Governmental Entity Receivables
Account and any associated Lock-Boxes.

     

    (l)      
     [Intentionally Omitted].

     

    (m)          The
Borrower is not known by and does not use any tradename or doing-business-as
name.

     

    (n)           The
Borrower has no Subsidiaries.

     

    (o)           (i)
The fair value of the property of the Borrower is greater than the total amount
of liabilities, including contingent liabilities, of the Borrower, (ii) the
present fair salable value of the assets of the Borrower is not less than the
amount that will be required to pay all probable liabilities of the Borrower on
its debts as they become absolute and matured, (iii) the Borrower does not
intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur debts or liabilities beyond
the Borrower’s abilities to pay such debts and liabilities as they mature and
(iv) the Borrower is not engaged in a business or a transaction, and is not
about to engage in a business or a transaction, for which the Borrower’s
property would constitute unreasonably small capital.

     

    (p)           With
respect to each Transferred Asset, the Borrower (i) shall have received such
Transferred Asset as a contribution to the capital of the Borrower by Cayman
SPE I, (ii) shall have purchased such Transferred Asset from Cayman SPE I
in exchange for payment (made by the Borrower to Cayman SPE I in accordance with
the provisions of the Tertiary Purchase Agreement) of cash or (iii) shall have
received such Transferred Asset partially as a capital contribution and
partially for payment in cash, in each case in an amount which constitutes fair
consideration and reasonably equivalent value.  Each such sale
referred to in the preceding sentence shall not have been made for or on account
of an antecedent debt owed by Cayman SPE I to the Borrower.

     

    (q)           Taxes.  The
Borrower has timely filed or caused to be filed all required income tax and
sales tax returns and reports and all other material tax returns and reports
required to have been filed and has paid or caused to be paid all material taxes
due pursuant to such returns or pursuant to any assessment received by the
Borrower, except where the payment of any such taxes is being contested in good
faith by appropriate proceedings and for which the Borrower has set aside on its
books adequate reserves.  The charges, accruals and reserves on the

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        43

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    books
of the Borrower in respect of such taxes or charges imposed by a Governmental
Entity are, in the opinion of the Borrower, adequate for the payment
thereof.

     

    SECTION
4.02.      Representations and
Warranties of the Collection Agent.  The
Collection Agent hereby represents and warrants as follows, which
representations and warranties shall be deemed repeated on each day during the
Term:

     

    (a)           The
Collection Agent is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in
good standing under the laws of Delaware, and is duly qualified to do business,

    SECTION
5.01.      Covenants of the
Borrower.  Until
the Commitments have expired or been terminated and the principal and interest
of each Loan and all other Obligations have been paid in full, the Borrower
covenants and agrees with the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
that:

     

    (a)           Compliance with Laws,
Etc.  The Borrower will comply in all material respects with
all applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders and preserve and maintain its
corporate existence, rights, franchises, qualifications, and privileges except
to the extent that the failure so to comply with such laws, rules and
regulations or the failure so to preserve and maintain such rights, franchises,
qualifications, and privileges could not reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect.

     

    (b)           Offices, Records, Name and
Organization.  The Borrower will keep its principal place of
business and chief executive office and the office where it keeps its records
concerning the Transferred Assets at the address of the Borrower set forth on
Schedule III hereto or, upon 30 days’ prior written notice to the Administrative
Agent, at any other locations within the United States.  The Borrower
will not change its name or its jurisdiction of organization, unless (i) the
Borrower shall have provided the Administrative Agent with at least 30 days’
prior written notice thereof and (ii) no later than the effective date of such
change, all actions reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to protect
and perfect the security interest in the Transferred Assets have been taken and
completed.  The Borrower also will maintain and implement (or cause
the Collection Agent to maintain or implement) administrative and operating
procedures (including, without limitation, an ability to recreate records
evidencing Transferred Assets and related Contracts in the event of the
destruction of the originals thereof), and keep and maintain (or cause the
Collection Agent to maintain or implement) all documents, books, records and
other information reasonably necessary or advisable for the collection of all
Receivables and Participated Receivables (including, without limitation, records
adequate to permit the daily identification of each Receivable and Participated
Receivables and all Collections of and adjustments to each existing Participated
Receivable).

     

    (c)           Performance and Compliance
with Contracts and Credit and Collection Policy.  The Borrower
will, at its expense, timely and fully perform and comply with all material
provisions, covenants and other promises required to be observed by it under the
Contracts related to the Transferred Assets and timely and fully comply in all
material respects with the Credit and Collection Policy in regard to each of the
Transferred Assets and the related Contract.

     

    (d)           Sales, Liens,
Etc.  Except for the security interest created hereunder in
favor of the Administrative Agent and the security interest created in favor of
the RFA Program Agent under the Receivables Financing Agreement (and which is
subject to the RFA Intercreditor Agreement), the Borrower will not sell, assign
(by operation of law or otherwise) or

    otherwise
dispose of, or create or suffer to exist any Adverse Claim upon or with respect
to any Collateral, or upon or with respect to any account to which any
Collections of any Receivable or Participated Receivable are sent, or assign any
right to receive income in respect thereof.

     

    (e)           Extension or Amendment of
Receivables and Participated Receivables.  Except as provided
in Section 6.02(c), the Borrower will not (and will not permit the Collection
Agent or any Originator to) extend, amend or otherwise modify the terms of any
Receivable or Participated Receivable, or amend, modify or waive any term or
condition of any Contract related thereto.

     

    (f)           Change in Business or Credit
and Collection Policy.  The Borrower will not make any change
in the character of its business or in the Credit and Collection Policy that
could, in either case, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect.

     

    (g)           Change in Payment
Instructions to Obligors.  The Borrower will not add or
terminate any bank, post office box or bank account as a Deposit Bank, Account
Bank, Lock-Box, Deposit Account or Governmental Entity Receivables Account from
those listed in Schedule I to this Agreement, or make any change in its
instructions to Obligors regarding payments to be made to the Borrower or
payments to be made to any such account or box, unless the Administrative Agent
shall have received notice of such addition, termination or change (including an
updated Schedule I) and a fully executed Deposit Account Agreement or
Governmental Entity Receivables Agreement with each new Deposit Bank or Account
Bank, as the case may be, or with respect to each new Lock-Box, Deposit Account
or Governmental Entity Receivables Account.

     

    (h)           Deposits to Lock-Boxes,
Deposit Accounts, Governmental Entity Receivables
Accounts.  The Borrower will (or will cause the Collection
Agent or the Originators to) instruct all Obligors that are Governmental
Entities other than Contract Payors to remit all their payments in respect of
Participated Receivables to Governmental Entity Receivables Accounts or
Lock-Boxes associated therewith.  The Borrower will (or will cause the
Collection Agent or the Originators to) instruct all Obligors that are not
Governmental Entities other than Contract Payors to remit all their payments in
respect of Receivables to Deposit Accounts or Lock-Boxes associated
therewith.  If the Borrower shall receive any Collections directly, it
shall immediately (and in any event within one Business Day) deposit the same to
a Deposit Account (in the case of Collections of Receivables) or a Governmental
Entity Receivables Account (in the case of Collections of Participated
Receivables).  The Borrower will not deposit or otherwise credit, or
cause or permit to be so deposited or credited, to any Lock-Box, Deposit Account
or Governmental Entity Receivables Account, cash or cash proceeds other than
Collections of Receivables or Participated Receivables.

its expense, promptly to execute and deliver all further instruments and
documents, and to take all further actions, that may be necessary or desirable,
or that the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, to perfect or protect
the security interest granted under this Agreement, or to

    The
Borrower and the Originators hereby acknowledge that (a) the Administrative
Agent may make available to the Lenders materials and/or information
(collectively, “Borrower Party
Materials”) provided by or on behalf of any of the Borrower, the
Originators, Parent, HQ and Cayman SPE I (collectively, the “Borrower Parties”)
hereunder by posting the Borrower Party Materials on Intralinks, the Internet or
another similar electronic system (the “Platform”) and
(b) certain of the Lenders may be "public-side" Lenders (i.e., Lenders that
do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the
Borrower Parties or any of their securities) (each, a “Public
Lender”).  The Borrower and each Originator agrees that (w) all
Borrower Party Materials that are to be made available to Public Lenders shall
be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean
that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (x)
by marking Borrower Party Materials “PUBLIC,” Borrower and each Originator, on
its behalf and on behalf of each other Borrower Party,  shall be
deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to treat such
Borrower Party Materials as not containing any material non-public information
with respect to any Borrower Party or its securities for purposes of United
States federal and state securities laws; (y) all Borrower Party Materials
marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the
Platform designated for distribution of “PUBLIC” materials and/or information;
and (z) the Administrative Agent shall treat any Borrower Party Materials that
are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the
Platform not designated for distribution of “PUBLIC” materials and/or
information and shall not make such Borrower Party Materials available through
the portion of the Platform designated for distribution of “PUBLIC” materials
and/or information.  At the request of the Administrative Agent, the
Borrower shall promptly provide to the Administrative Agent versions of any
non-“PUBLIC” Borrower Party Materials that do not contain material non-public
information with respect to the Borrower Parties and their securities, which
versions shall be suitable for posting through a portion of the Platform
designated for distribution of “PUBLIC” materials and/or
information.  None of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any
other Indemnified Party shall be liable to any Borrower Party or any of their
respective Affiliates or any of their respective security holders or creditors
for any damages arising from the use by unauthorized Persons of information or
other materials sent though the Platform that are intercepted by such
Persons.

provided, further, that the
Borrower shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and each Lender of any
such amendment.  The Borrower will perform all of its obligations
under the Tertiary Purchase Agreement in all material respects and will enforce
the Tertiary Purchase Agreement in accordance with its terms in all material
respects.

     

    (n)           Nature of

    (p)           Distributions,
Etc.  The Borrower will not declare or make any dividend

retire, defease, redeem or otherwise acquire for value or make any payment in

    (v)           Amendments to First Lien
Loan Documents.  (i) If any amendment, supplement or other
modification of any provision of the First Lien Loan Documents has the effect of
imposing on the Borrower any representations, warranties, covenants, events of
default or remedies that are more restrictive or burdensome to the Borrower than
the terms and provisions of such First Lien Loan Documents as in effect on the
date of this Agreement, or altering any definitions to effect any of the
foregoing, (A) the Required Lenders shall be entitled to require that a
substantially similar amendment be made to the comparable Second Lien Loan
Documents, and (B) the Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees
that at least three (3) Business Days prior to effecting any such amendment,
supplement or other modification of any provision of such First Lien Loan
Documents, the Borrower shall, with respect to the applicable Second Lien Loan
Documents, provide to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders an amendment or
amendments (the “Corresponding
Amendment”) that amends the applicable Second Lien Loan Documents to
effect such modifications on equivalent terms.  The Required Lenders,
at their sole discretion, may accept or decline any Corresponding
Amendment.  If the Required Lenders accept any Corresponding
Amendment, the Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to effect
the Corresponding Amendment substantially concurrently with the related
amendment, supplement or modification of the First Lien Loan
Documents.

     

     (ii)
The Borrower will not, directly or indirectly, enter into any amendment,
supplement or modification of any of the First Lien Loan Documents (or consent
or agree thereto) if any such amendment, supplement or modification
shall:

     

    (1)           increase
the aggregate principal amount of, without duplication, loans or other
extensions of credit or commitments therefor so that the aggregate principal
amount of such loans or other extensions of credit is in excess of the First
Lien Cap (as defined in the RFA Intercreditor Agreement);

     

    (2)           modify
the method of computing interest or Yield (as defined in the Receivables
Financing Agreement) or increase the interest or Yield rate (including by any
increase in the “applicable margin” or similar component of the interest rate)
or interest or yield provisions applicable to the First Lien Obligations (as
defined in the RFA Intercreditor Agreement) or any commitment fee, program fee,
liquidity fee, or similar

    fee
so that the combined interest rate and fees are increased by more than 2% per
annum in the aggregate (excluding increases resulting from (A) increases in
the underlying reference rate not caused by any amendment, supplement or
modification of the Receivables Financing Agreement, or (B) accrual of
interest or Yield at the rate applicable following an “Event of Termination”
under and as defined in the Receivables Financing Agreement as in effect on the
date hereof);

     

    (3)           extend
any scheduled amortization payments or the scheduled final maturity of the
Receivables Financing Agreement or make amendments or modifications to
(A) clause (a) of the definition of “Facility Termination Date”
contained in the Receivables Financing Agreement as in effect on the date hereof
to make the date appearing therein later than September 14, 2010, or
(B) clause (a) of the definition of “Commitment Termination Date”
contained in the Receivables Financing Agreement as in effect on the date
hereof, other than the extension of the date appearing therein to a date no
later than September 14, 2010 or (C) clause (d) of such
definition of “Commitment Termination Date” to make the date appearing therein
later than September 14, 2010;

     

    (4)           amend,
modify or have the effect of a modification of the mandatory prepayment
provisions of the Receivables Financing Agreement in a manner that reduces
amounts which would be otherwise required to be used to prepay the First Lien
Obligations (as defined in the RFA Intercreditor Agreement);

     

    (5)           amend
Sections 2.04 or 2.04A of the Receivables Financing Agreement or alter any

    (6)           modify
or add any covenant or event of default under the First Lien Loan Documents

Documents as in effect on the date hereof;

     

    (7)           increase
the “Concentration Limit” (as defined in the Receivables Financing Agreement)
applicable to any account debtor (other than, in the event any such

or make amendments or modifications to the definitions of “Borrowing Base”,
“Eligible Participated Receivable”, “Eligible Receivable”, “Net Receivables Pool

    SECTION
5.02.      Covenants of the Borrower,
the Collection Agent and the Originators.  Until
the Commitments have expired or been terminated and the principal and interest
of each Loan and all other Obligations have been paid in full, each of the
Borrower, the Collection Agent and each Originator will, at their respective
expense, from time to time during regular business hours as requested by the
Administrative Agent permit the Administrative Agent or its agents or
representatives (including independent public accountants, which may be the
Borrower’s or the Parent’s independent public accountants), (i) to conduct
audits of the Receivables, Participated Receivables, the Related Security and
the related books and records and collections systems of the Borrower, the
Collection Agent or such Originator, as the case may be, (ii) to examine and
make copies of and abstracts from all books, records and documents (including,
without limitation, computer tapes and disks) in the possession or under the
control of the Borrower, the Collection Agent or such Originator, as the case
may be, relating to Receivables, Participated Receivables and the Related
Security, including, without limitation, the Contracts, and (iii) to visit the
offices and properties of the Borrower, the Collection Agent or such Originator,
as the case may be, for the purpose of examining such materials described in
clause (ii) above, and to discuss matters relating to Receivables, Participated
Receivables and the Related Security or the Borrower’s, the Collection Agent’s
or such Originator’s performance under the Transaction Documents or under the
Contracts with any of the officers or employees of the Borrower, the Collection
Agent or such Originator, as the case may be, having knowledge of such
matters.  In addition, upon the Administrative Agent’s request no more
than four times per year (but without such limitation if an audit deficiency is
described during any such audit), the Administrative Agent will, at the
Borrower’s expense, appoint independent public accountants or other Persons
acceptable to the Administrative Agent (which shall not be the Parent’s or the
Borrower’s independent public accountants who perform regular financial
statement audits for the Parent and its Subsidiaries), to prepare and deliver to
the Administrative Agent and each Lender a written report with respect to the
Receivables, Participated Receivables and the Credit and Collection Policy
(including, in each case, the systems, procedures and records relating thereto)
on a scope and in a form reasonably requested by the Administrative
Agent.  The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, prior to the
RFA Termination Date, each audit performed by independent public accountants or
other Persons acceptable to the RFA Program Agent pursuant to the sentence of
Section 5.02 of the Receivables Financing Agreement (as in effect on the
date hereof) corresponding to the preceding sentence shall constitute an audit
under the preceding sentence, provided that the Administrative Agent receives a
copy of the reports and other information provided to the RFA Program Agent in
connection with such audit and 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        55

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    such
reports and other information are posted on the Platform.  In
conjunction with the audits, examinations and visits referred to in the first
two sentences of this Section 5.02, the Administrative Agent and its agents,
representatives, advisors or consultants shall have full access during regular
business hours to premises, books and records and members of management as may
be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or any such agent,
representative, advisor or consultant in connection with a review of the
business and operations of the Borrower (including budgets, records,
projections, financial information, reports and turnaround plans) and the
Borrower shall at all times cooperate with the reasonable requests of the
Administrative Agent and its agents, representatives, advisors or
consultants.  Until the Commitments have expired or been terminated
and the principal and interest of each Loan and all other Obligations have been
paid in full, the Parent shall continue to report in its filings with the SEC
the borrowing base calculations under the Receivables Financing Agreement in a
manner and at such time as it has historically done and shall additionally
include in such filings the borrowing base calculations under this Agreement in
a similar manner.

    ADMINISTRATION
AND COLLECTION

    OF
RECEIVABLES AND PARTICIPATED RECEIVABLES

     

    SECTION
6.01.      Designation of Collection
Agent.  The
servicing, administration and collection of the Receivables and Participated
Receivables shall be conducted by the Collection Agent so designated hereunder
from time to time.  Until the Administrative Agent gives notice to the
Borrower of the designation of a new Collection Agent in accordance with the
terms hereof, HQ is hereby designated as, and hereby agrees to perform the
duties and obligations of, the Collection Agent pursuant to the terms
hereof.  At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance
of a Collection Agent Default (and then, only after the RFA Termination Date or
earlier if permitted under the RFA Intercreditor Agreement), the Administrative
Agent may and, at the request of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent
shall designate as Collection Agent any Person (including itself) to succeed the
Parent or any successor Collection Agent, if such Person shall consent and agree
to the terms hereof.  The Collection Agent may, with the prior consent
of the Administrative Agent, subcontract with any other Person (except that in
the case of an Originator no such consent is required) for the servicing,
administration or collection of the Receivables and Participated
Receivables.  Any such subcontract shall not affect the Collection
Agent’s liability for performance of its duties and obligations pursuant to the
terms hereof, and any such subcontract shall automatically terminate upon
designation of a successor Collection Agent.  The foregoing to the
contrary notwithstanding (but subject to the RFA Intercreditor Agreement), until
the RFA Termination Date, the “Collection Agent” under, and as defined in, the
Receivables Financing Agreement from time to time shall be the Collection Agent
hereunder and the right of the Administrative Agent to designate any successor
Collection Agent shall be subject to the prior right of the RFA Program Agent to
designate the “Collection Agent” under the Receivables Financing
Agreement.

     

    SECTION
6.02.      Duties of Collection
Agent.  (a) The
Collection Agent shall take or cause to be taken all such actions as may be
necessary or advisable to collect each Receivable and Participated Receivable
from time to time, all in accordance in all material respects with applicable
laws, rules and regulations, with reasonable care and diligence, and in

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        56

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    accordance
with the Credit and Collection Policy.  The Borrower, the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby appoint the Collection Agent, from
time to time designated pursuant to Section 6.01 (including, without limitation,
deemed designated pursuant to the last sentence thereof), as agent for
themselves to enforce their respective rights and interests in the Receivables,
the Participated Receivables, the Participation Interests, the Related Security
and the Collections with respect thereto.  In performing its duties as
Collection Agent, the Collection Agent shall exercise the same care and apply
the same policies as it would exercise and apply if it owned such Receivables or
Participated Receivables and shall act in the best interests of the Borrower,
the Lenders and the Administrative Agent.

     

    (b)           The
Collection Agent shall (i) prior to the RFA Termination Date, administer the
Collections in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Receivables
Financing Agreement and, to the extent not inconsistent with the Receivables
Financing Agreement, this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections
2.08(b) and 2.19), and (ii) thereafter, administer the Collections in accordance
with the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including, without limitation,
Sections 2.08(b) and 2.19).

     

    (c)           If
no Event of Default or Default shall have occurred and be continuing, HQ, while
it is the Collection Agent, may, in accordance with the Credit and Collection
Policy, extend the maturity or adjust the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable
or Participated Receivable as it deems appropriate to maximize Collections
thereof, or otherwise amend or modify other terms of any Receivable or
Participated Receivable, provided that the classification of any such Receivable
or Participated Receivable as ineligible for inclusion in the Borrowing Base
shall not be affected by any such extension.

     

    (d)           The
Collection Agent shall hold in trust for the Borrower, the Administrative Agent
and each Lender, in accordance with their respective interests, all documents,
instruments and records (including, without limitation, computer tapes or disks)
which evidence or relate to Transferred Assets.  The Collection Agent
shall mark each Originator’s master data processing records evidencing the
Transferred Assets with a legend, acceptable to the Administrative Agent,
evidencing that such Transferred Assets have been sold to the Borrower and
marking the Participated Receivables with a legend, acceptable to the
Administrative Agent, evidencing that such Purchased Receivables are the subject
of a Participation Interest sold to the Borrower.

     

    (e)           The
Collection Agent shall, as soon as practicable following receipt, turn over to
the Person entitled thereto any cash collections or other cash proceeds received
with respect to Receivables and Participated Receivables not constituting
Collateral.

     

    (f)           The
Collection Agent shall, from time to time at the request of the Administrative
Agent, furnish to the Administrative Agent (promptly after any such request)
(i) a calculation of the amounts set aside for or payable to the Investors,
the Banks, the Investor Agents and the Collection Agent (as such terms are
defined in the Receivables Financing Agreement) pursuant to Sections 2.04
and 2.04A of the Receivables Financing Agreement and (ii) information in
reasonable detail as to funds deposited into the Administrative Agent’s Account
and the Cure Account.

                        No
      later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the seventh Business Day of
      each Month, prepare and forward to the Administrative Agent a Borrower
      Report relating to the Receivables and Participated Receivables
      outstanding on the last day of the immediately preceding
      Month.

                      
	 	 	 
	 
      	
                        (ii)

                      	
                        On
      each Business Day, by no later than 12:00 noon (New York City time),
      provide to the Administrative Agent, a Daily Report as of the prior
      Business Day.

                      
	 	 	 
	 
      	
                        (iii)

                      	
                        [Intentionally
      Omitted].

                      
	 	 	 
	 
      	
                        (iv)

                      	
                        No
      later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the fourth Business Day
      following the end of each calendar week of each Month, prepare and deliver
      to the Administrative Agent an Interim Report relating to Receivables and

    The
Collection Agent shall transmit the Borrower Reports and the Daily Reports to
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, concurrently by facsimile and by
electronic mail (each an “E-Mail
Report”).  Each E-Mail Report shall be (A) formatted as the
Administrative Agent may designate from time to time and shall be digitally
signed and (B) sent to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, at an
electronic mail address designated by each of them.

     

    SECTION
6.03.      Certain Rights of the
Administrative Agent.  (a) After
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or a Default,
the Administrative Agent may and, at the direction of the Required Lenders,
shall notify the Obligors of Receivables and Participated Receivables, at any
time and at the Borrower’s expense, of the security interest granted under this
Agreement.

     

    (b)           At
any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default
or a Default:

     

    
      
        
          
            	 
      	
                    (i)

                  	
                    The
      Administrative Agent may, and, at the direction of the Required Lenders,
      the Administrative Agent shall to the extent permitted under applicable
      law, direct the Obligors of Receivables and Participated Receivables that
      all payments thereunder be made directly to the Administrative Agent or

                    (ii)

                  	
                    At
      the Administrative Agent’s request and at the Borrower’s expense, the
      Borrower shall notify each Obligor of Receivables and Participated

                    At
      the Administrative Agent’s request and at the Borrower’s expense, the
      Borrower and the Collection Agent shall (A) assemble all of the documents,
      instruments and other records (including, without limitation, computer

                    The
      Borrower authorizes the Administrative Agent to take any and all steps in
      the Borrower’s name and on behalf of the Borrower that are necessary or
      desirable, in the determination of the Administrative Agent, to collect
      amounts due under the Receivables and Participated Receivables, including,
      without limitation, endorsing the Borrower’s name on checks and other
      instruments representing Collections of Receivables and Participated

Contracts.

                  

          

        

      

    

     

    SECTION
6.04.      Rights and
Remedies.  (a) If
the Collection Agent fails to perform any of its obligations under this
Agreement, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be required to) (after
notice to the Collection Agent and such failure to perform, if capable of being
cured, is not cured within five Business Days after such notice is sent) itself
perform, or cause performance of, such obligation; and the Administrative
Agent’s costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by
the Collection Agent.

     

    (b)           The
Borrower and the Originators shall perform their respective obligations under
the Contracts related to the Receivables, the Participated Receivables or the
Participation Interests and the exercise by the Administrative Agent on behalf
of the Lenders of their rights under this Agreement shall not release the
Originators, the Collection Agent or the Borrower from any of their duties or
obligations with respect to any Receivables, the Participated Receivables or the
Participation Interests or related Contracts.  Neither the
Administrative Agent nor the Lenders shall have any obligation or liability with
respect to any Receivables, the Participated Receivables or the Participation
Interests or related Contracts, nor shall any of them or the Borrower be
obligated to perform the obligations of the Originators thereunder.

     

    (c)           In
the event of any conflict between the provisions of Article VI of this Agreement
and Article VI of any Purchase Agreement, the provisions of Article VI of this
Agreement shall control.

     

    SECTION
6.05.      Further Actions Evidencing
the Loans.  The
Borrower and each Originator agrees from time to time, at its expense, to
promptly execute and deliver all further

    instruments
and documents, and to take all further actions, that may be reasonably necessary
or desirable, or that the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders may
reasonably request, to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the security
interest granted hereunder, or to enable the Lenders or the Administrative Agent
to exercise and enforce their respective rights and remedies
hereunder.  Without limiting the foregoing, the Borrower and each
Originator hereby authorizes the filing of any financing statements or
continuation statements, and amendments to financing statements, in any
jurisdictions as the Administrative Agent may reasonably determine are necessary
to perfect the security interest granted to the Administrative Agent pursuant to
Section 2.17 hereof or the interests assigned pursuant to the Originator
Purchase Agreement.  Such financing statements filed against the
Borrower may describe the collateral in the same manner specified in Section
2.17 hereof or in any other manner as the Administrative Agent may reasonably
determine is necessary to ensure the perfection of such security interest,
including, without limitation, describing such property as all assets or all
personal property of the Borrower whether now owned or hereafter
acquired.

     

    SECTION
6.06.      Covenants of the Collection
Agent and each Originator.  (a) [Intentionally
Omitted.]

     

    (b)           Change in Credit and
Collection Policy.  Neither the Collection Agent nor any
Originator will make any change in the Credit and Collection Policy that would
impair the collectibility of a significant amount of the Receivables or
Participated Receivables or the ability of HQ (if it is acting as Collection
Agent) to perform its obligations under this Agreement.  In the event
that the Collection Agent or any Originator makes any change to the Credit and
Collection Policy, it shall, contemporaneously with such change, provide the
Administrative Agent with an updated Credit and Collection Policy and a summary
of all material changes.

     

    (c)           Change in Payment
Instructions to Obligors.  The Collection Agent will not add or
terminate any bank, post office box or bank account as a Deposit Bank, Account
Bank, Lock-Box, Deposit Account or Governmental Entity Receivables Account from
those listed in Schedule I to this Agreement, or make any change in its
instructions to Obligors regarding payments to be made to the Borrower or
payments to be made to any such box or account, unless the Administrative Agent
shall have received notice of such addition, termination or change (including an
updated Schedule I) and a fully executed Deposit Account Agreement, Governmental
Entity Receivables Agreement with each new Deposit Bank or Account Bank or with
respect to each new such box or account.

     

    (d)           Deposits to Governmental
Entity Receivables Accounts, Lock-Boxes and Deposit
Accounts.  The Collection Agent will (or will cause the
Borrower or the Originators to) instruct all Obligors that are Governmental
Entities (other than Contract Payors) to remit all their payments in respect of
Participated Receivables to Governmental Entity Receivables Accounts or
Lock-Boxes associated therewith.  The Collection Agent will (or will
cause the Borrower or the Originator to) instruct all Obligors that are not
Governmental Entities (other than Contract Payors) to remit all their payments
in respect of Receivables to Deposit Accounts or Lock-Boxes associated
therewith.  If the Collection Agent shall receive any Collections
directly, it shall immediately (and in any event within one Business Day)
deposit the same to a Deposit Account or a Governmental Entity Receivables
Account, as the case may be.  The Collection Agent will not deposit or
otherwise credit, or cause or permit to be so deposited or credited, to any
Lock-

    Box,
Deposit Account or Governmental Entity Receivables Account cash proceeds other
than Collections of Receivables or Participated Receivables.

     

    In
furtherance of the foregoing, the Collection Agent (i) represents and warrants
that, prior to the date hereof, it has notified all Obligors that are not
Governmental Entities (other than Contract Payors) to remit all their payments
in respect of Receivables to Deposit Accounts or Lock-Boxes associated therewith
and (ii) agrees to use ongoing commercially reasonable efforts to obtain
compliance with such notice from those Obligors who have failed to so
comply.

     

    (e)           Maintenance of

    Account

                  At
      the written direction of the Collection Agent (which may be a standing
      direction), funds on deposit in the Administrative Agent’s Account shall
      be invested by the Administrative Agent in Eligible Investments selected
      by the Collection Agent that will mature so that such funds will be
      available to be distributed out of the Administrative Agent’s Account as
      and when required pursuant hereto.  All such Eligible
      Investments shall be held by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of
      the Beneficiaries.  All amounts on deposit in the Administrative
      Agent’s Account (including, all interest and other investment earnings
      (net of losses and investment expenses) on funds on deposit therein) shall
      be applied in accordance with Section 2.19 or as otherwise provided
      herein.

accessible only by and under the sole dominion and control of the Administrative
Agent (the “Cure
Account”), which shall be identified as the “Cure Account for the Rite
Aid Funding II Credit Agreement” and shall bear a designation clearly indicating
that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of the
Beneficiaries.  The Cure Account shall initially be established with
the Administrative Agent or an Affiliate thereof and thereafter may only be
established or maintained at an Eligible Institution.  Except as
specifically provided in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent agrees that it
shall have no right of set-off or banker’s lien against and no right to
otherwise deduct from any funds held in the Cure Account for any amount owed to
it by any Beneficiary, the Borrower, any Predecessor Purchaser or any
Originator.  The tax identification number associated with the Cure
Account shall be that of the Borrower.

     

    
      
        
          	 
      	
                  (ii)

                	
                  At
      the written direction of the Collection Agent (which may be a standing
      direction), funds on deposit in the Cure Account shall be invested by the
      Administrative Agent in Eligible Investments selected by the Collection
      Agent that will mature so that such funds will be available on or before
      the end of any then applicable Cure Period.  All such Eligible
      Investments shall be held by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of
      the Beneficiaries.

Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Beneficiaries, shall possess all right,
title and interest in and to all funds on deposit from time to time in, and all
Eligible Investments credited to, the Administrative Agent’s Account and the
Cure Account and in all proceeds thereof.  Each of the Administrative
Agent’s Account and the Cure Account shall be under the sole dominion and
control of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the
Beneficiaries.  If, at any time, either of the Administrative Agent’s
Account or the Cure Account is held by an institution other than the
Administrative Agent, an Affiliate thereof or an Eligible Institution, the
Administrative Agent (or the Collection Agent, at the direction of the
Administrative Agent and on its behalf) shall within 10 Business Days establish
a new

    Administrative
Agent’s Account or Cure Account, as applicable, meeting the conditions specified
in paragraph (a)(i) or (b)(i) above, as applicable, and shall transfer any cash
and/or any investments in the applicable existing account to such new
Administrative Agent’s Account or Cure Account, as
applicable.  Neither the Borrower, the Collection Agent nor any Person
or entity claiming by, through or under the Borrower, the Collection Agent or
any such Person or entity shall have any right, title or interest in, or any
right to withdraw any amount from, either of the Administrative Agent’s Account
or Cure Account, except as expressly provided herein.  Once the
Administrative Agent’s Account and the Cure Account have been established, the
Collection Agent shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a Schedule VII which
identifies each of the Administrative Agent’s Account and the Cure Account by
setting forth the identification name of such account, the account number of
each such account, the account designation of each such account and the name and
location of the institution with which such account has been
established.  If a substitute Administrative Agent’s Account or Cure
Account is established pursuant to this Section 6.10, the party establishing
such substitute Administrative Agent’s Account or Cure Account shall promptly
provide to the Collection Agent or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, an
amended Schedule VII, setting forth the relevant information for such substitute
Administrative Agent’s Account or Cure Account.

     

    (d)           At
no time may an amount greater than 10% of the funds on deposit in either of the
Administrative Agent’s Account or the Cure Account be invested in Eligible
Investments (other than obligations of the United States government or agencies
the obligations of which are guaranteed by the United States government or
investments described in clause (e) of the definition of Eligible Investments)
of any single entity or its Affiliates.  Nothing herein shall be
construed to impose any obligation on the Administrative Agent to monitor
compliance with this Section 6.10(d).

     

    (e)           Any
request by the Collection Agent to invest funds on deposit in either of the
Administrative Agent’s Account or the Cure Account shall be in writing (which
may be a standing instruction) and shall state that the requested investment is
an Eligible Investment.

     

    (f)           The
Administrative Agent is hereby authorized, unless otherwise directed by the
Collection Agent, to effect transactions in Eligible Investments through a
capital markets affiliate of the Administrative Agent.

are hereby waived by the Borrower, (y) the Administrative Agent may in its

rights and remedies provided after default under the UCC and under other

    THE
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

     

    SECTION
8.01.      Authorization and
Action.  Each
Lender hereby appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such
action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement
and the other Transaction Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent
by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably
incidental thereto.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to enter into the RFA
Intercreditor Agreement and the Senior Collateral Intercreditor Agreement
Amendment and agrees that such Lender shall be bound by the terms and conditions
of the RFA Intercreditor Agreement and the Senior Collateral Intercreditor
Agreement as amended by the Senior Collateral Intercreditor Agreement
Amendment.  The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties other
than those expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents, and no implied
obligations or liabilities shall be read into any Transaction Document, or
otherwise exist, against the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative
Agent does not assume, nor shall it be deemed to have assumed, any obligation
to, or relationship of trust or agency with, the Borrower, any Predecessor
Purchaser, the Parent, the Collection Agent or any other
Originator.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or any
other Transaction Document, in no event shall the Administrative Agent ever be
required to take any action which exposes the Administrative Agent to personal
liability or which is contrary to any provision of any Transaction Document or
applicable law.

    SECTION
8.02.      Administrative Agent’s
Reliance, Etc.  Neither
the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees
shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them as
Administrative Agent under or in connection with this Agreement (including,
without limitation, the Administrative Agent’s servicing, administering or
collecting Receivables and Participated Receivables as Collection Agent) or any
other Transaction Document, except for its or their own gross negligence or
willful misconduct.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the Administrative Agent:  (a) may consult with legal counsel
(including counsel for any Lender, the Borrower, any Predecessor Purchaser, the
Parent, any other Originator and the Collection Agent), independent certified
public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for
any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with
the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (b) makes no warranty
or representation to any Lender (whether written or oral) and shall not be
responsible to any Lender for any statements, warranties or representations
(whether written or oral) made in or in connection with this Agreement or any
other Transaction Document; (c) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to
inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or
conditions of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document on the part of
the Borrower, any Predecessor Purchaser, the Parent, any other Originator or the
Collection Agent or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of
the Borrower, any Predecessor Purchaser, the Parent, any other Originator or the
Collection Agent; (d) shall not be responsible to any Lender for the due
execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value
of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any other instrument or
document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; and (e) shall incur no liability
under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document by
acting upon any notice (including notice by telephone), consent, certificate or
other instrument or writing (which may be by telecopier or telex) believed by it
to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties.

     

    SECTION
8.03.      Administrative Agent and
Affiliates.  The
Person serving as Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and
powers in its capacity as a “Lender” under this Agreement as any other Lender
and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative
Agent.  Such Person and any of its Affiliates may generally engage in
any kind of business with the Borrower, the Parent, any other Originator, any
Predecessor Purchaser, the Collection Agent or any Obligor, any of their
respective Affiliates and any Person who may do business with or own securities
of the Borrower, the Parent, any other Originator, any Predecessor Purchaser,
the Collection Agent or any Obligor or any of their respective Affiliates, all
as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent and without any duty to
account therefor to the Lenders.  Without limiting the foregoing,
(i) the Lenders hereby acknowledge that CNAI is the program agent under the
Receivables Financing Agreement and that, in such capacity, CNAI has or may have
interests, or take actions, that may conflict with the interests of the Lenders
and (ii) the Lenders hereby waive any such conflict of interests and agree
that CNAI, as program agent under the Receivables Financing Agreement, shall
have no duty to disclose to the Lenders or use on behalf of the Lenders any
information whatsoever about or derived from its role or activities in such
capacity.

     

    SECTION
8.04.      Indemnification of
Administrative Agent.  Each
Lender agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not
reimbursed by the Borrower, the Parent or any other Originator), ratably
according to the respective Ratable Share of such Lender, from 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        70

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    and
against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or
nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the
Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or
any other Transaction Document or any action taken or omitted by the
Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document,
provided that
no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations,
losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or
willful misconduct.

     

    SECTION
8.05.      Delegation of
Duties.  The
Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties through agents or
attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all
matters pertaining to such duties.  The Administrative Agent shall not
be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or
attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

     

    SECTION
8.06.      Action or Inaction by
Administrative Agent.  The
Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or
refusing to take action under any Transaction Document unless it shall first
receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders and assurance of its
indemnification by the Lenders, as it deems appropriate.  The
Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in
refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document
in accordance with a request or consent or at the direction of the Required
Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary
under the circumstances as provided in Section 11.01) and such request,
consent or direction and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto
shall be binding upon all Lenders and the Administrative Agent.  The
Administrative Agent agrees that any consent permitted to be made by it under
the RFA Intercreditor Agreement shall only be made if the Administrative Agent
receives the prior written approval of the Required Lenders
therefor.

     

    SECTION
8.07.      Notice of Events of
Default.  The
Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the
occurrence of any Default or of any Event of Default unless the Administrative
Agent has received notice from any Lender, the Collection Agent, any Originator,
any Predecessor Purchaser or the Borrower stating that a Default or Event of
Default has occurred hereunder and describing such Default or Event of
Default.  If the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, it shall
promptly give notice thereof to each Lender.  The Administrative Agent
shall take such action concerning a Default or an Event of Default as may be
directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number of percentage of the
Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in
Section 11.01) (subject to the other provisions of this Article VIII),
but until the Administrative Agent receives such directions, the Administrative
Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from
taking such action, as the Administrative Agent deems advisable and in the best
interests of the Lenders.

     

    SECTION
8.08.      Non-Reliance on
Administrative Agent and Other Parties.  Each
Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent, any of its
Affiliates nor any of their respective directors, officers, agents or employees
has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the
Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        71

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    review
of the affairs of the Borrower, the Collection Agent, any Predecessor
Purchasers, the Parent or any other Originator, shall be deemed to constitute
any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent.  Each
Lender represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent that, independently
and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any of its Affiliates or any
other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed
appropriate, it has made and will continue to make its own appraisal of and
investigation into the business, operations, property, prospects, financial and
other conditions and creditworthiness of the Borrower, the Parent and the other
Originators, and the Loans and its own decision to enter into this Agreement and
to take, or omit, action under this Agreement or any other Transaction
Document.  Except for items expressly required to be delivered under
this Agreement or any other Transaction Document by the Administrative Agent to
any Lender, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility
to provide any Lender with any information concerning the Borrower, the
Collection Agent, any Predecessor Purchaser, the Parent or any other Originator
or any of their Affiliates that comes into the possession of the Administrative
Agent or any of its directors, officers, agents, employees, attorneys-in-fact or
Affiliates.

     

    SECTION
8.09.      Successor Administrative
Agent.  The
Administrative Agent may, upon at least thirty (30) days’ notice to the Borrower
and each Lender, resign as Administrative Agent.  Such resignation
shall not become effective until a successor agent is appointed by the Required
Lenders (with the approval of the Borrower, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld and shall not be required if a Default or an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing) and has accepted such
appointment.  If no successor agent shall have been so appointed by
the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30)
days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation,
then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a
successor Administrative Agent (which shall be a financial institution with an
office in New York, New York or an Affiliate of any such financial
institution).  Upon such acceptance of its appointment as
Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such
successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the
rights and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring
Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under
the Transaction Documents.  After any retiring Administrative Agent’s
resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article VIII and Section 6.07 and
Article X shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be
taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent.

     

    SECTION
8.10.      Reports and
Notices.  The
Administrative Agent hereby agrees to provide each Lender with copies of all
material notices, reports and other documents provided to the Administrative
Agent by the Borrower or the Collection Agent hereunder which are not otherwise
required to be provided by the Borrower or the Collection Agent directly to the
Lenders in accordance with the terms hereof.  Further, the
Administrative Agent hereby agrees to provide each Lender with copies of any
“Enforcement Notice” delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section
2.05 of the Senior Collateral Intercreditor Agreement and of any notice of an
“Event of Default” or “Event of Termination” delivered to the Administrative
Agent under Section 2.07 of the Senior Collateral Intercreditor
Agreement.

10.01.    Indemnities by the
Borrower.  Without
limiting any other rights that the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or any of
their respective Affiliates or members or any of their respective officers,
directors, employees or advisors (each, an “Indemnified Party”)
may have hereunder or under applicable law, the Borrower hereby agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Party from and against any and all
claims, losses and liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) (all of
the foregoing being collectively referred to as “Indemnified Amounts”)
arising out of or resulting from this Agreement or the other Transaction
Documents or the use of proceeds of the Loans or the security interest granted
hereunder or in respect of any Transferred Asset or any Contract, excluding,
however, (a) Indemnified Amounts to the extent found in a final
non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted
from gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Indemnified
Party, (b) recourse (except as otherwise specifically provided in this
Agreement) for Transferred Assets which are not collected, not paid or
uncollectible on account of the insolvency, bankruptcy or financial inability to
pay of the applicable Obligor or (c) any income taxes or franchise taxes
measured by income or any other tax or fee measured by income incurred by such
Indemnified Party arising out of or as a result of this Agreement or the
security interest granted hereunder or in respect of any Transferred Asset or
any Contract.  Without limiting or being limited by the foregoing, the
Borrower shall pay on demand to each Indemnified Party any and all amounts
necessary to indemnify such Indemnified Party from and against any and all
Indemnified Amounts relating to or resulting from any of the
following:

      characterization in any Borrower Report or other written statement made by
      or on behalf of the Borrower of any Transferred Asset as an Eligible
      Receivable or Eligible Participation Interest or as included in the

      certified, is not an Eligible Receivable or Eligible Participation
      Interest or should not be included in the Borrowing
  Base;

      Borrower (or any of its officers) under or in connection with this
      Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents which shall have been
      incorrect in any material respect when made;

                    
	 	 	 
	 
      	
                      (iii)

                    	
                      the
      failure by the Borrower to comply with any applicable law, rule or
      regulation with respect to any Receivable, Participated Receivable,
      Participated Interest, or the related Contract; or the failure of any
      Receivable, Participated Receivable, Participation Interest, or the

amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction
Document or consent to any departure by the Borrower, the Parent, HQ (as
Collection Agent or otherwise), any Originator or any Predecessor Purchaser
therefrom shall be effective unless in a writing signed by, with respect to this

of the Required Lenders) (and, in the case of any amendment, also signed by the
other parties thereto); provided, however, that the
signatures of the Borrower, HQ and the Originators party hereto shall not be
required for the effectiveness of any amendment which modifies the
representations, warranties, covenants or responsibilities of the Collection
Agent at any time when the Collection Agent is not an Originator, the Parent or
an Affiliate of such Originator or the Parent or a successor Collection Agent is
designated by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 6.01, and then such
amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance
and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that no
amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and additionally signed by
(x) the Collection Agent, affect the rights or duties of the Collection
Agent under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or (y) the
Administrative Agent, affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent
under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; provided further that no
amendment, waiver or consent shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender
without the written consent of such Lender or increase the aggregate amount of
the Commitments of the Lenders without the written consent of each Lender,

    definition
or amend the first sentence of the definitions of “Eligible Participated

Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder or under any
other Transaction Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any
single or partial exercise of any right hereunder or under any other Transaction
Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
other right.

    (a)           This
Agreement and the Lenders’ rights and obligations herein (including ownership of
the Loan made by it) shall be assignable in whole or in part by the Lenders and
their successors and assigns, with the Borrower’s consent, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided, that the
Borrower’s consent shall not be required if (i) the assignment shall be to
an Eligible Assignee or by CNAI or any of its Affiliates to any institution made
prior to the date that is 30 days after the Effective Date or (ii) an Event
of Default or a Default has occurred and is continuing.  Each such
assignor shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower of any such
assignment.  Each such assignor may, in connection with any such
assignment, disclose to the assignee or potential assignee any information
relating to the Borrower, the Collection Agent, any Predecessor Purchaser, the
Parent or any other Originator, including the Transferred Assets furnished to
such assignor by or on behalf of the Borrower, the Parent, any other Originator
or by the Administrative Agent; provided that, prior to any such disclosure, the
assignee or potential assignee agrees to preserve the confidentiality of any
such information which is confidential in accordance with the provisions of
Section 11.06 hereof.

    (b)           Each
Lender may assign to any Eligible Assignee all or a portion of its rights and
obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a
portion of its Commitment and any Loan made by it); provided, however,
that:

     

    
      
        
          
            
              	 
      	
                      (i)

                    	
                      each
      such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of
      all rights and obligations under this Agreement,

                    
	 	 	 
	 
      	
                      (ii)

                    	
                      except
      in the case of an assignment to a Person described in clause (i) or
      (ii) of the definition of “Eligible Assignee”, the amount being assigned
      pursuant to each such assignment (determined as of the date of the
      Assignment and Acceptance Agreement with respect to such assignment) shall
      in no event be less than the lesser of (x) $1,000,000 and
      (y) all of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or outstanding Loans,
      and

                    
	 	 	 
	 
      	
                      (iii)

                    	
                      the
      parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the
      Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an
      Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, together with a processing and
      recordation fee of $2,500; provided that,
      in the event of concurrent assignments to two or more assignees that are
      Affiliates of one another, or by or to two or more Approved Funds managed
      by the same investment advisor or by affiliated investment advisors, only
      one such fee shall be
payable.

                    

            

          

        

      

    

     

    Upon
such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording and any necessary consents
required from the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, from and after the
effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, (x) the
assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent that
rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such
Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender
hereunder and (y) the assigning Lender shall, to the extent that rights and
obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and
Acceptance Agreement, relinquish such rights and be released from such
obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and
Acceptance Agreement covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning
Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to
be a party hereto).

     

    (c)           The
Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 11.02
of this Agreement a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance Agreement delivered
to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and
addresses of the Lenders and the Commitments of, and aggregate outstanding
principal of Loans owned by, each Lender from time to time (the “Register”).  The
entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent
manifest error, and the Borrower, the Originators, the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders may treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register as a
Lender under this Agreement for all purposes of this Agreement.  The
Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender at any
reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior
notice.  Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement
executed by an assigning Lender and an Eligible Assignee, the Administrative
Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement has been completed,
(i) accept such 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        77

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    Assignment
and Acceptance Agreement, (ii) record the information contained therein in
the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower.

     

    (d)           Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Section 11.03, any Lender may at any time pledge or
grant a security interest in all or any portion of its rights (including,
without limitation, rights to payment of principal and interest) under this
Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including, without limitation,
any pledge or grant to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, without
notice to or consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent; provided that no such
pledge or grant of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its
obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or grantee for such Lender
as a party hereto.

     

    (e)           [Intentionally
Omitted].

     

    (f)           This
Agreement and the rights and obligations of the Administrative Agent herein
shall be assignable by the Administrative Agent and its successors and
assigns.

     

    (g)           Neither
the Borrower, the Parent, any Originator or the Collection Agent may assign its
rights or obligations hereunder or under any other Transaction Document or any
interest herein or therein without the prior written consent of the
Administrative Agent and each Lender.

     

    (h)           Each
Lender may, without the consent of the Administrative Agent or the Borrower,
sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (each, a “Participant”) in all
or a portion of its rights and obligations hereunder (including the outstanding
Loans); provided that
following the sale of a participation under this Agreement (i) the
obligations of such Lender shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall
remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of
such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the
other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in
connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this
Agreement.  Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which any Lender
sells such a participation shall provide that the Participant shall not have any
right to direct the enforcement of this Agreement or the other Transaction
Documents or to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision
of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents; provided that such
agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the
consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that
(i) reduces the amount of principal or interest (other than default
interest) that is payable on account of any Loan subject to such participation
or delays any scheduled date for payment thereof or (ii) reduces any fees
payable by the Borrower to such Lender (to the extent relating to payments to
the Participant) or delays any scheduled date for payment of such
fees.  The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that each Lender’s source
of funds may derive in part from its Participants.  Accordingly,
references in Sections 2.11, 2.14, 6.07 and 11.04 and the other terms and
provisions of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to
determinations, reserve and capital adequacy requirements, expenses, increased
costs, reduced receipts and the like as they pertain to any Lender shall be
deemed also to include those of its Participants; provided that the
Borrower shall not be required to pay higher costs, expenses and indemnification
amounts pursuant to this sentence than would be required to be paid by the
Borrower in the absence of the sale of any participation by any Lender to a
Participant as

    contemplated
by this Section 11.03(h).  Each Lender or the Administrative Agent
may, in connection with any such participation, disclose to Participants and
potential Participants any information relating to the Borrower, the Collection
Agent, any Predecessor Purchaser, the Parent or the Originators, including the
Transferred Assets, furnished to such Lender or the Administrative Agent by or
on behalf of the Borrower; provided that, prior
to any such disclosure, such Participant or potential Participant agrees to
preserve the confidentiality of any such information which is confidential in
accordance with the provisions of Section 11.06 hereof.

     

    (i)           [Intentionally
Omitted].

     

    (j)           Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Section 11.03, none of the rights or obligations
under this Agreement may be assigned in whole or in part unless as of the
effective date of such assignment, the assignee is either (A) a “United States
person” (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), or (B) entitled
to a complete exemption from all U.S. withholding taxes with respect to payments
made to such assignee under any Transaction Document.

     

    SECTION
11.04.    Costs, Expenses and
Taxes.

     

    (a)           In
addition to the rights of indemnification granted under Section 10.01
hereof, the Borrower agrees to pay on demand all costs and expenses of the
Administrative Agent and its Affiliates and, to the extent described in
clause (z) below, of the Lenders in connection with the preparation,
negotiation, execution, delivery, syndication, administration (including
periodic auditing and the other activities contemplated in Section 5.02)
and enforcement of this Agreement and the other documents and agreements to be
delivered hereunder, including, without limitation, (x) the reasonable fees
and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel for the Administrative Agent and its
Affiliates with respect thereto and with respect to advising the Administrative
Agent and its Affiliates as to their rights and remedies under this Agreement
and the other Transaction Documents, (y) the costs and expenses of the
Administrative Agent’s due diligence and monitoring of the Collateral,
including, without limitation, field examinations and audits and (z) all
costs and expenses, if any (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses), of
the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and their respective Affiliates in
connection with the enforcement of this Agreement and the other documents and
agreements to be delivered hereunder.

     

    (b)           [Intentionally
Omitted].

     

    (c)           [Intentionally
Omitted].

     

    (d)           Further,
the Borrower agrees to pay any and all breakage and other expenses of the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders (including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys’ fees and disbursements and the cost including accrued interest, of
terminating or transferring any agreements such as interest rate swaps,
over-the-counter forward agreements and future contracts engaged by the Lenders
or the Administrative Agent) in connection with any reduction of the principal
relating to the funding or maintenance of any Loan (or portion
thereof).

    SECTION
11.05.    No Proceedings; Waiver of
Consequential Damages.  (a)  Each
of the Collection Agent, the Originators, the Administrative Agent, each Lender,
each assignee of a Loan or any interest therein and each entity which enters
into a commitment to make a Loan or any interest therein or purchase interests

SECURITY INTERESTS OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR THE LENDERS, AS APPLICABLE, IN
THE COLLATERAL ARE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF A JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE
OF NEW YORK.

     

    SECTION
11.08.    Execution in

    SECTION
11.10.    Consent to
Jurisdiction.

     

    (a)           Each
party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any
New York State or Federal court sitting in New York City in any action or
proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Transaction
Documents, and each party hereto hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in
respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New
York State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal
court.  The parties hereto hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest
extent they may effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the
maintenance of such action or proceeding.  The Borrower hereby
irrevocably appoints CT Corporation (the “Process Agent”), with an office on the
date hereof at 111 Eighth Avenue, 13th Floor, New York, New York 10011, United
States, as its agent to receive on behalf of the Borrower and its property
service of copies of the summons and complaint and any other process which may
be served in any such action or proceeding.  Such service may be made
by mailing or delivering a copy of such process to the Borrower in care of the
Process Agent at the Process Agent’s above address, and the Borrower hereby
irrevocably authorizes and directs the Process Agent to accept such service on
its behalf.  The parties hereto agree that a final judgment in any
such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other
jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by
law.

     

    (b)           Each
of the Borrower, the Parent, the Collection Agent and the Originators consents

process in any other manner permitted by law.

     

    (c)           To
the extent that the Borrower has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from
jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether through service or
notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution, execution
or otherwise) with respect to itself or its property, the Borrower hereby
irrevocably waives such immunity in respect of its obligations under this
Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

     

    SECTION

MATTER (WHETHER SOUNDING IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT
OF, RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENT EXECUTED OR
DELIVERED PURSUANT HERETO.

     

    SECTION
11.12.    Judgment.

     

    (a)           If
for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a
sum due hereunder in U.S. Dollars into another currency, the parties hereto
agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of
exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking
procedures the judgment creditor could purchase U.S. Dollars with such other
currency at New York, New York on the Business Day preceding that on which final
judgment is given.

     

    (b)           The
obligation of the Borrower in respect of any sum due from it to the Lenders or
the Administrative Agent hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a
currency other than U.S. Dollars, be discharged only to the extent that on the
Business Day following receipt by the Lenders or the Administrative Agent (as
the case may be) of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency, the
Lenders or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) may in accordance with
normal banking procedures purchase U.S. Dollars with such other currency; if the
U.S. Dollars so purchased are less than the sum originally due to the Lenders or
the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) in U.S. Dollars, the Borrower
agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to
indemnify the Lenders or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) against
such loss, and if the U.S. Dollars so purchased exceed the sum originally due to
the Lenders or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) in U.S. Dollars,
the Lenders or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) shall remit to the
Borrower such excess.

     

    SECTION

Act.  Each
Lender hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA
Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that
identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the
Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the
Borrower in accordance with its requirements.  The Borrower shall
promptly, following a request by the Administrative Agent or any Lenders provide
all documentation and other information that the Administrative Agent or such
Lender reasonably requests in order to comply with its

rules and regulations, including the USA Patriot Act.

     

    SECTION
11.14.    RFA Intercreditor
Agreement.  Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the lien and security interest granted to the
Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement and the exercise of any right or
remedy by the Administrative Agent hereunder are subject to the provisions of
the RFA Intercreditor Agreement.  In the event of any conflict between
the terms of the RFA Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of
the RFA Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control.

              $______________

            	
              _________,
      2009

            
	 
      	 
      

    

    FOR
VALUE RECEIVED, THE UNDERSIGNED, Rite Aid Funding II, a Cayman Islands exempted
company incorporated with limited liability (the “Borrower”), promises
to pay to the order of [Name of Lender] (“Payee”), the
principal sum of ______________ ($____________) or, if less, the aggregate
unpaid principal amount of all Loans shown on the schedule attached hereto (and
any continuation thereof) and/or in the records of the Payee pursuant to that
certain Credit Agreement, dated as of February 18, 2009 (together with all
amendments, restatements and other modifications, if any, from time to time
thereafter made thereto, the “Credit Agreement”),
among Rite Aid Funding II, as borrower, the “Lenders” party thereto from time to
time, Citicorp North America, Inc., as Administrative Agent, Rite Aid Hdqtrs.
Funding, Inc., as the collection agent, and the parties thereto named as
Originators.

     

    The
Borrower also promises to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount hereof
from time to time outstanding from the date hereof until paid in full, and any
fees, expenses and other amounts due to Payee under the Credit Agreement, at the
rates per annum and on the dates specified in the Credit
Agreement.  In any event, all principal, interest and any fees,
expenses and other amounts due to Payee under the Credit Agreement shall be due
and payable on the Maturity Date.

     

    Payments
of principal, interest and any fees, expenses and other amounts due to Payee
under the Credit Agreement are to be made in lawful money of the United States
of America in same day or immediately available funds to the account designated
by the Administrative Agent from time to time in accordance with the Credit
Agreement.

     

    This
Note is a Note referred to in, and evidences indebtedness incurred under, the
Credit Agreement, and the holder hereof is entitled to the benefits of the
Credit Agreement, to which reference is also made for a description of the
security for this Note and for a statement of the terms and conditions on which
the Borrower is permitted and required to make prepayments and repayments of
principal of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note.  Unless
otherwise defined, capitalized terms used herein have the meanings provided in
the Credit Agreement.

     

    All
parties hereto, whether as makers, endorsers, or otherwise, severally waive
presentment for payment, demand, protest and notice of dishonor.

     

    The
Borrower hereby irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New
York State or Federal court sitting in New York City in any action or proceeding
arising out of or relating to this Note, and the Borrower hereby irrevocably
agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and
determined in such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in
such Federal court.  The Borrower hereby irrevocably waives, to the
fullest extent it may effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to
the maintenance of such action or proceeding.  The Borrower agrees
that a final judgment in any such action or 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        F-1

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    proceeding
shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the
judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

     

    The
Borrower consents to the service of any and all process in any such action or
proceeding by the mailing of copies of such process to it at its address
specified in Section 11.02 of the Credit Agreement.  Nothing in this
Note shall affect the right of the Payee or its assignees to serve legal process
in any other manner permitted by law.

     

    To
the extent that the Borrower has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from
jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether through service or
notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution, execution
or otherwise) with respect to itself or its property, the Borrower hereby
irrevocably waives such immunity in respect of its obligations under this
Note.

     

    If
for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a
sum due hereunder in U.S. Dollars into another currency, the Borrower agrees, to
the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used
shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the judgment
creditor could purchase U.S. Dollars with such other currency at New York, New
York on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is
given.

     

    The
obligation of the Borrower in respect of any sum due hereunder shall,
notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than U.S. Dollars, be
discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the
Payee, the Payee may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase U.S.
Dollars with such other currency; if the U.S. Dollars so purchased are less than
the sum originally due to the Payee in U.S. Dollars, the Borrower agrees, as a
separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the
Payee against such loss.

     

    THIS
NOTE SHALL, IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF
THE STATE OF NEW YORK, BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE
LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES
THEREOF THAT WOULD CALL FOR THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANY OTHER
JURISDICTION.

      (c)      Subject
to any limitations on the aggregate principal amount of First Lien Obligations
set forth in the definition of “First Lien Obligations” and the limitation in
Section 7.3, the
lien priorities provided in Sections 2.1 and
2.2 shall not
be altered or otherwise affected by any such amendment, modification,
supplement, extension, repayment, reborrowing, increase, replacement, renewal or
restatement of either the First Lien Obligations or the Second Lien Obligations,
or any portion thereof.

       

      2.7      Limitations on Duties and
Obligations.  Each of the Second Lien Agent, for itself and on
behalf of each Second Lien Claimholder, and the First Lien Agent, for itself and
on behalf of each First Lien Claimholder, agrees that, except in the case of
(i) the obligations of the First Lien Agent under Section 5.4 as
bailee and agent for perfection for the Second Lien Agent and (ii) the
obligations of the Second Lien Agent under Section 5.4 as
bailee and agent for perfection for the First Lien Agent, each of the First Lien
Agent (on behalf of the First Lien Claimholders) and the Second Lien Agent (on
behalf of the Second Lien Claimholders) shall be solely responsible for
perfecting and maintaining the perfection of its Lien in and to each item
constituting the Collateral in which the First Lien Agent (on behalf of the
First Lien Claimholders) or the Second Lien Agent (on behalf of the Second Lien
Claimholders) has been granted a Lien.  The foregoing provisions of
this Agreement are intended solely to govern the respective Lien priorities as
between the Creditors and shall not impose on either the First Lien Agent (on
behalf of the First Lien Claimholders) or the Second Lien Agent (on behalf of
the Second Lien Claimholders) any obligations in respect of the disposition of
proceeds of foreclosure on any Collateral that would conflict with prior
perfected claims therein in favor of

       

      
        
           

        

        
          9

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      any
other Person or any order or decree of any court or other Governmental Authority
or any applicable law.

       

      SECTION
3.     Enforcement.

       

      3.1     Exercise of
Remedies.

       

      (a)      Until
the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, whether or not any
Insolvency Proceeding has been commenced by or against the Borrower, the Second
Lien Agent and the Second Lien Claimholders:

       

      (1)      will
not take any Enforcement Action with respect to any Lien held by it under any
Second Lien Loan Document or otherwise; provided, however, that the
Second Lien Agent may take Enforcement Action at any time after a period of 30
days has elapsed since the date on which the First Lien Agent shall have
received written notice from the Second Lien Agent of the existence of any Event
of Default under the Second Lien Credit Agreement and the Second Lien
Obligations are currently due and payable in full as a result of acceleration or
otherwise (the “Standstill
Period”); provided, in no event
shall the Second Lien Agent or any Second Lien Claimholder take any Enforcement
Action with respect to any Lien held by it under any Second Lien Loan Document
or otherwise if, notwithstanding the expiration of the Standstill Period,
(i) the First Lien Agent or First Lien Claimholders shall have commenced
and are diligently pursuing an Enforcement Action with respect to all or any
material portion of the Collateral or shall be diligently attempting to vacate
any stay or prohibition against such exercise (prompt written notice of the
initial commencement of such exercise to be given to the Second Lien Agent provided, that the
First Lien Agent shall incur no liability for, and the rights of the First Lien
Agent hereunder or in respect of the Collateral shall be unaffected by, the
failure of the First Lien Agent to give any such notice); (ii) the
“Amortization Period” (as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement) shall then
exist and collections of the Collateral are being applied and distributed
pursuant to Sections 2.04(c) and 2.04A(b) of the First Lien Credit
Agreement; or (iii) the acceleration of the Second Lien Obligations (if
any) is rescinded in accordance with the terms of the Second Lien Credit
Agreement or by court order;

       

      (2)      subject
to their rights under Section 3.1(b),
will not contest, protest or object to any Enforcement Action brought by the
First Lien Agent or any First Lien Claimholder or any other exercise by the
First Lien Agent or any First Lien Claimholder of any rights and remedies
relating to the Collateral under the First Lien Loan Documents or otherwise so
long as the Liens granted to secure the Second Lien Obligations of the Second
Lien Claimholders attach to the Proceeds thereof subject to the relative
priorities described in Section 2.1;
and

       

      (3)      subject
to their rights under clause (a)(1)
above, will not contest, protest or object to (and waive any and all claims with
respect to) the forbearance by the First Lien Agent or the First Lien
Claimholders from bringing or pursuing any Enforcement Action so long as the
Liens granted to secure the Second Lien Obligations

       

      
        
           

        

        
          10

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      of
the Second Lien Claimholders attach to the Proceeds thereof subject to the
relative priorities described in Section 2.1.

       

      (b)      Whether
or not any Insolvency Proceeding has been commenced by or against the Borrower,
the First Lien Agent and the First Lien Claimholders agree that they will not
effectuate any Collateral Sale during the first 45 days after the occurrence of
the “Amortization Period” (as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement) unless
either (1) such Collateral Sale will result in the payment in full in cash of
the First Lien Obligations and the Second Lien Obligations or (2) the Second
Lien Agent shall have consented thereto.  If the First Lien Agent
desires to arrange a Collateral Sale at any time after such 45-day period, First
Lien Agent will first offer the Second Lien Claimholders the option to purchase
the First Lien Obligations in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.4 by giving
the Second Lien Agent notice thereof (the “Purchase Notice”), which the
Second Lien Agent will promptly forward to each Second Lien
Claimholder.

       

      (c)      Until
the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has occurred, whether or not any
Insolvency Proceeding has been commenced by or against the Borrower, but subject
to the first proviso of Section 3.1(a)(1)
and to Section 3.1(b),
the First Lien Agent and the First Lien Claimholders shall have the exclusive
right to enforce rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral, commence,
and if applicable, maintain an Enforcement Action (including set-off) and,
subject to Section 5.1,
make determinations regarding the release, disposition, or restrictions with
respect to the Collateral without any consultation with or the consent of the
Second Lien Agent or any Second Lien Claimholder.  In exercising
rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral and Enforcement Actions with
respect to the Collateral, the First Lien Agent and the First Lien Claimholders
may, subject to Section 3.1(b),
enforce the provisions of the First Lien Loan Documents and exercise remedies
thereunder, all in such order and in such manner as they may determine in the
exercise of their sole discretion.  Such exercise and enforcement
shall include, subject to Section 3.1(b), the
right to exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured creditor under the
UCC and of a secured creditor under Bankruptcy Laws of any applicable
jurisdiction.

       

      (d)      Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Second Lien Agent and any Second Lien Claimholder
may:

       

      (1)      file
a claim or statement of interest with respect to the Second Lien Obligations in
any Insolvency Proceeding commenced by or against the Borrower;

       

      (2)      take
any action (not adverse to the priority status of Liens on the Collateral
securing the First Lien Obligations, or the rights of the First Lien Agent or
the First Lien Claimholders to exercise remedies in respect thereof) in order to
create, perfect, preserve or protect its Lien on the Collateral;

       

      (3)      file
any necessary responsive or defensive pleadings in opposition to any motion,
claim, adversary proceeding or other pleading made by any person objecting to or
otherwise seeking the disallowance of the claims of the Second Lien
Claimholders, including any claims secured by the Collateral, if any, in each
case in a manner not inconsistent with any other provisions of this
Agreement;

       

      
        
           

        

        
          11

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      (4)      vote
on any plan of reorganization (including, without limitation, vote to accept or
reject any plan of partial or complete liquidation, reorganization, arrangement,
composition or extension), file any proof of claim, make other filings and make
any arguments and motions that are, in each case, not inconsistent with any
other provisions of this Agreement, with respect to the Second Lien Obligations
and the Collateral;

       

      (5)      exercise
any of its rights or remedies with respect to the Collateral after the
termination of the Standstill Period to the extent permitted by Section 3.1(a)(1);
and

       

      (6)      join
(but not exercise any control with respect to) any judicial foreclosure
proceeding or other judicial lien enforcement proceeding with respect to the
Collateral initiated by the First Lien Agent to the extent that any such action
could not reasonably be expected, in any material respect, to restrain, hinder,
limit, delay for any material period or otherwise interfere with the Enforcement
Action by the First Lien Agent (it being understood that any Liens attaching to
the proceeds thereof shall be subject to the relative priorities described in
Section 2.1).

       

      The
Second Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Claimholders, agrees
that it will not take or receive any Collateral or any Proceeds of Collateral in
connection with any Enforcement Action against any Collateral in its capacity as
a creditor, unless and until the Discharge of First Lien Obligations has
occurred, except in connection with any Enforcement Action expressly permitted
by Section 3.1(a)(1)
to the extent the Second Lien Agent and Second Lien Claimholders are permitted
to retain the Proceeds thereof in accordance with Section 4.2 of
this Agreement.

       

      (e)           Subject
to Sections 3.1(a),
(b) and (d) and Section 6.4(b):

       

      (1)      except
as otherwise permitted hereunder, the Second Lien Agent, for itself and on
behalf of the Second Lien Claimholders, agrees that the Second Lien Agent and
the Second Lien Claimholders will not take any action that would hinder any
exercise of remedies under the First Lien Loan Documents;

       

      (2)      except
as otherwise permitted hereunder, the Second Lien Agent, for itself and on
behalf of the Second Lien Claimholders, hereby waives any and all rights it or
the Second Lien Claimholders may have as a junior lien creditor or otherwise to
object to the manner in which the First Lien Agent or the First Lien
Claimholders seek to enforce or collect the First Lien Obligations or the Liens
securing the First Lien Obligations granted in any of the First Lien Collateral
undertaken in accordance with this Agreement, regardless of whether any action
or failure to act by or on behalf of the First Lien Agent or First Lien
Claimholders is adverse to the interest of the Second Lien Claimholders;
and

       

      (3)      the
Second Lien Agent hereby acknowledges and agrees that no covenant, agreement or
restriction contained in any Second Lien Loan Document (other than this
Agreement) shall be deemed to restrict in any way the rights and remedies of
the

       

      
        
           

        

        
          12

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      First
Lien Agent or the First Lien Claimholders with respect to the Collateral as set
forth in this Agreement and the First Lien Loan Documents.

       

      (f)       Except
as specifically set forth in Sections 3.1(a)
and (d), the
Second Lien Agent and the Second Lien Claimholders may exercise rights and
remedies as unsecured creditors against the Borrower in accordance with the
terms of the Second Lien Loan Documents and applicable law; provided that in the
event that any Second Lien Claimholder becomes a judgment lien creditor in
respect of Collateral as a result of its enforcement of its rights as an
unsecured creditor with respect to the Second Lien Obligations, such judgment
lien shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement for all purposes (including
in relation to the First Lien Obligations) as the other Liens securing the
Second Lien Obligations are subject to this Agreement.

       

      (g)      Except
as specifically set forth in Sections 3.1(a)
and (d),
nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by the Second Lien Agent or
any Second Lien Claimholders of the required payments of interest, principal and
other amounts owed in respect of the Second Lien Obligations so long as such
receipt is not the direct or indirect result of any Enforcement Action by the
Second Lien Agent or any Second Lien Claimholders of rights or remedies as a
secured creditor in contravention of this Agreement or any Lien held by any of
them.

       

      3.2     Actions Upon
Breach.  If any Second Lien Claimholder, in contravention of
the terms of this Agreement, in any way takes, attempts to or threatens to take
or participate in any Enforcement Action with respect to the Collateral, or
fails to take any action required by this Agreement, the First Lien Agent or the
Borrower may obtain relief against such Second Lien Claimholder by injunction,
specific performance and/or other appropriate equitable relief, it being
understood and agreed by the Second Lien Agent on behalf of each Second Lien
Claimholder that (i) the First Lien Claimholders’ damages from its actions
may at that time be difficult to ascertain and may be irreparable, and
(ii) each Second Lien Claimholder waives any defense that the Borrower
and/or the First Lien Claimholders cannot demonstrate damage and/or be made
whole by the awarding of damages.

       

      3.3     Commercially Reasonable
Dispositions; Notice of Exercise.  First Lien Agent agrees that
any Enforcement Action by First Lien Agent with respect to Collateral subject to
Article 9 of the UCC shall be conducted by First Lien Agent in a
commercially reasonable manner.  Second Lien Agent agrees that any
Enforcement Action by Second Lien Agent with respect to Collateral subject to
Article 9 of the UCC shall be conducted by Second Lien Agent in a
commercially reasonable manner.  First Lien Agent shall provide to
Second Lien Agent prompt notice of any acceleration of the First Lien
Obligations and reasonable prior notice of its initial Enforcement
Action.  Second Lien Agent shall provide to First Lien Agent prompt
notice of any acceleration of the Second Lien Obligations and reasonable prior
notice of its initial Enforcement Action.  Second Lien Agent and
Second Lien Claimholders acknowledge that they have been advised by the First
Lien Agent that the delivery by the Second Lien Agent of the notice referred to
in Section 3.1(a)(1)
which triggers the start of the Standstill Period will automatically cause the
“Amortization Period” to commence under the First Lien Credit Agreement,
whereupon the taking of any Enforcement Action by the Second Lien Agent will be
prohibited, subject to the provisions of clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of
Section 3.1(a)(1).

       

      
        
           

        

        
          13

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      3.4     Purchase
Option.  The Second Lien Claimholders will have the option,
exercisable (a) at any time following the occurrence of the “Amortization
Period” (as such term is defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement) and prior
to receipt of the Purchase Notice referred to in Section 3.1(b) or (b)
within ten (10) Business Days following receipt of the Purchase Notice, to
purchase all, but not less than all, of the First Lien Obligations, without
warranty, representation or recourse of any kind (except for representations and
warranties required to be made by assigning banks  pursuant to the
“Assignment and Acceptance” (as such term is defined in the First Lien Credit
Agreement)).  The purchase price for any such purchase shall be equal
to the aggregate outstanding amount of  First Lien Obligations due and
payable on the closing date of such purchase (including, without limitation,
accrued interest, fees, costs, indemnities and expenses) and shall be payable
all in cash in immediately available funds.  If one or more of the
Second Lien Claimholders choose to exercise such right, each of them must
irrevocably notify the First Lien Agent thereof (and any such notice given
following delivery of the Purchase Notice must be given within ten (10) Business
Days following the date of the Purchase Notice), and the parties shall endeavor
to close promptly thereafter, but in any event within ten (10) Business Days
following notice of the exercise of the Second Lien Claimholders’ purchase right
(the “Purchase
Period”).  Each Second Lien Claimholder that gives notice of
its intention to exercise its purchase right shall concurrently provide a copy
of such notice to the Second Lien Agent and the other Second Lien
Claimholders.  If more than one Second Lien Claimholder elects to
exercise its purchase option in accordance with this Section 3.4, the
First Lien Obligations shall be purchased by such Second Lien Claimholders on a
pro rata basis according to the amount of Second Lien Obligations owing to each
Second Lien Claimholder that has exercised its purchase right relative to the
aggregate amount of Second Lien Obligations owing to all Second Lien
Claimholders that have exercised their purchase right.  If any Second
Lien Claimholders choose to exercise their purchase right, such purchase shall
be effected pursuant to documentation mutually acceptable to each of the First
Lien Agent and the Second Lien Agent (and, in the event more than one Second
Lien Claimholder has exercised its purchase right, in a single
closing).  If the Second Lien Claimholders elect not to exercise their
purchase right under this Section 3.4 following receipt of the Purchase
Notice (or do not irrevocably provide notice of such exercise within the
required timeframe or close the purchase within the Purchase Period, unless such
failure is to due solely to breach by the First Lien Claimholders of this
Agreement), the First Lien Claimholders shall have no further obligations
pursuant to this Section 3.4.  Each
Second Lien Claimholder which exercises its purchase right hereunder agrees to
indemnify the First Lien Claimholders from and against any loss, liability,
claim, damage or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and
expenses of legal counsel) arising out of any claim asserted by a third party
against the First Lien Claimholders as a direct result of any acts by such
Second Lien Claimholder occurring after the date of such purchase.

       

      

      SECTION 4.     Payments.

       

      4.1     Application of
Proceeds.  Whether or not any Insolvency Proceeding has been
commenced by or against the Borrower, except as otherwise provided in Section 4.2, any
Collateral or Proceeds thereof received upon the exercise of remedies in
connection with any Enforcement Action shall be
applied:  (a) first, so long as the Discharge of First Lien
Obligations has not occurred, to the payment in full in cash of the First Lien
Obligations in such order as specified in the relevant First Lien Loan Documents
or as otherwise determined by the First Lien Claimholders, and (b) second,
upon the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, to the payment in

       

      
        
           

        

        
          14

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      full
in cash of the Second Lien Obligations in such order as specified in the Second
Lien Loan Documents or as otherwise determined by the Second Lien Claimholders,
or, in each case, as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise
direct.

       

      4.2     Payment
Turnover.  So long as the Discharge of First Lien Obligations
has not occurred, whether or not any Insolvency Proceeding has been commenced by
or against the Borrower, any Collateral or Proceeds thereof received by the
Second Lien Agent or any Second Lien Claimholders in connection with any
Enforcement Action relating to the Collateral shall be segregated and held in
trust and forthwith paid over to the Trustee (as defined in the First Lien
Credit Agreement) for deposit to the Trustee’s Account (as defined in the First
Lien Credit Agreement) and for allocation pursuant to Section 2.04A(b) of the
First Lien Credit Agreement for the benefit of the First Lien Claimholders in
the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements or as a court of
competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.  The First Lien Agent is
hereby authorized to make any such endorsements as agent for the Second Lien
Agent or any such Second Lien Claimholders in connection with any payment over
described in the prior sentence.  This authorization is coupled with
an interest and is irrevocable until the Discharge of First Lien
Obligations.  For the avoidance of doubt, the deposit of Proceeds of
the Collateral into the Trustee’s Account and the application of such Proceeds,
in each case in accordance with Section 2.04A(b) of the First Lien Credit
Agreement, shall not constitute an Enforcement Action and the Second Lien Agent
and the Second Lien Claimholders shall have no obligation to pay over to the
Trustee, the First Lien Agent or First Lien Claimholders any payment received by
the Second Lien Agent or the Second Lien Claimholders on account of the Second
Lien Obligations that is paid out of any amount that, in accordance with the
First Lien Credit Agreement, is permitted to be deposited into the “Borrower’s
Account” (as defined therein) or is otherwise permitted under the First Lien
Credit Agreement to be paid to or on behalf of the Borrower, notwithstanding
that such amount constitutes Proceeds of any Collateral.

       

      SECTION
5.     Other
Agreements.

       

      5.1     Releases.

       

      If,
in connection with an Enforcement Action by the First Lien Agent, the First Lien
Agent, for itself or on behalf of any of the First Lien Claimholders, releases
any of its Liens on any part of the Collateral, then the Liens, if any, of the
Second Lien Agent, for itself or for the benefit of the Second Lien
Claimholders, on such Collateral shall be automatically, unconditionally and
simultaneously released (the “Second Lien Release”) and the
Second Lien Agent, for itself or on behalf of any such Second Lien Claimholders,
promptly shall execute and deliver to the First Lien Agent or the Borrower such
termination statements, releases and other documents as the First Lien Agent or
the Borrower may request to effectively confirm such release; provided, however, that the
Second Lien Release shall not occur without the consent of the Second Lien Agent
as to any Collateral the net proceeds of the disposition of which will not be
applied to repay (and, to the extent applicable, to reduce permanently
commitments with respect to) the First Lien Obligations.

       

      5.2     [Intentionally
Omitted].

       

      5.3     Legend; Benefit of
Agreement.  (a)  [Intentionally
Omitted].

       

      
        
           

        

        
          15

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      (b)      [Intentionally
Omitted].

       

      (c)      The
Second Lien Agent agrees that the Second Lien Credit Agreement shall include the
following language (or language to similar effect approved by the First Lien
Agent):

       

      “Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the lien and security interest granted to the
Second Lien Agent pursuant to this Agreement and the exercise of any right or
remedy by the Second Lien Agent hereunder are subject to the provisions of the
Intercreditor Agreement, dated as of February ___, 2009 (as amended, restated,
supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Intercreditor Agreement”),
among Citicorp North America, Inc., as First Lien Agent and Citicorp North
America, Inc., as Second Lien Agent and Rite Aid Funding II, as
Borrower.  In the event of any conflict between the terms of the
Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor
Agreement shall govern and control.”

       

      (d)      [Intentionally
Omitted].

       

      (e)      Except
as otherwise expressly set forth in any First Lien Loan Document, no Person who
obtains the benefit of the provisions of this Agreement or any Collateral by
virtue of the provisions hereof or any First Lien Loan Document shall have any
right to notice of any amendment of this Agreement or any action hereunder or to
consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any First Lien
Loan Document in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment
of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a First Lien Lender and, in
such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the First Lien Loan
Documents.

       

      5.4     Gratuitous Bailee for
Perfection.  (a)  The First Lien Agent agrees to hold
that part of the Collateral that is in its possession or control (or in the
possession or control of its agents or bailees) to the extent that possession or
control thereof is taken to perfect a Lien thereon under the UCC (such
Collateral being the “Pledged
Collateral”) as collateral agent for the First Lien Claimholders and as
gratuitous bailee and agent for perfection for the Second Lien Agent (such
bailment and agency for perfection being intended, among other things, to
satisfy the requirements of Sections 8-106(d)(3), 8-301(a)(2) and 9-313(c)
of the UCC) and any assignee solely for the purpose of perfecting the security
interest granted under the First Lien Loan Documents and the Second Lien Loan
Documents, respectively, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.4.  Solely
with respect to any deposit accounts under the control (within the meaning of
Section 9-104 of the UCC) of the First Lien Agent, the First Lien Agent agrees
to also hold control over such deposit accounts as gratuitous agent for the
Second Lien Agent, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section
5.4.

       

      (b)      The
First Lien Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the First Lien
Claimholders, the Second Lien Agent or any Second Lien Claimholder to ensure
that the Pledged Collateral is genuine or owned by the Borrower or to preserve
rights or benefits of any Person except as expressly set forth in this Section 5.4.  The
duties or responsibilities of the First Lien Agent under this Section 5.4
shall be limited solely to holding the Pledged Collateral as bailee (and with
respect to deposit accounts, agent) in accordance with this Section 5.4 and
delivering

       

      
        
           

        

        
          16

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      the
Pledged Collateral upon a Discharge of First Lien Obligations as provided in
paragraph (d)
below.

       

      (c)      The
First Lien Agent shall not have by reason of the First Lien
Loan  Documents, the Second Lien Loan Documents, this Agreement or any
other document a fiduciary relationship in respect of the First Lien
Claimholders, the Second Lien Agent or any Second Lien Claimholder and the
Second Lien Agent and the Second Lien Claimholders hereby waive and release the
First Lien Agent from all claims and liabilities arising pursuant to the First
Lien Agent’s role under this Section 5.4 as
gratuitous bailee and gratuitous agent with respect to the Pledged
Collateral.  It is understood and agreed that the interests of the
First Lien Agent and the Second Lien Agent may differ and the First Lien Agent
shall be fully entitled to act in its own interest without taking into account
the interests of the Second Lien Agent or Second Lien Claimholders.

       

      (d)      Upon
the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, the First Lien Agent shall deliver the
remaining Pledged Collateral in its possession (if any) together with any
necessary endorsements (such endorsement shall be without recourse and without
any representation or warranty), first, to the Second
Lien Agent to the extent Second Lien Obligations remain outstanding, and second, to the
Borrower to the extent no First Lien Obligations or Second Lien Obligations
remain outstanding (in each case, so as to allow such Person to obtain
possession or control of such Pledged Collateral).  The First Lien
Agent further agrees to take all other action reasonably requested by the Second
Lien Agent at the expense of the Second Lien Agent or the Borrower in connection
with the Second Lien Agent obtaining a first-priority interest in the Collateral
(including, without limitation, cooperating with the Second Lien Agent in the
transfer of control to the Second Lien Agent of any deposit account under the
control of the First Lien Agent) or as a court of competent jurisdiction may
otherwise direct.

       

      (e)      Pursuant
to the First Lien Credit Agreement, First Lien Agent (either in its individual
capacity or in its capacity as “Program Agent”), as assignee of Borrower, is the
secured party of record with respect to certain UCC-1 financing statements (the
“Assigned Financing
Statements”) filed against the “Originators” (as defined in the First
Lien Credit Agreement), Rite Aid Hdqtrs. Funding, Inc., a Delaware corporation,
and Rite Aid Funding I, a Cayman Islands exempted company incorporated with
limited liability.  First Lien Agent agrees that it is secured party
of record with respect to the Assigned Financing Statements for the benefit of
the First Lien Claimholders and the Second Lien Claimholders.  Except
as provided in Section
5.1, First Lien Agent shall not (and shall not authorize any other Person
to) terminate any of the Assigned Financing Statements, or release any
collateral therefrom, in each case, without the prior consent of the Second Lien
Agent.  Upon the Discharge of First Lien Obligations, if any Second
Lien Obligations remain outstanding, First Lien Agent shall (and Borrower hereby
authorizes First Lien Agent to) assign to Second Lien Agent, First Lien Agent’s
rights as secured party of record with respect to the Assigned Financing
Statements.

6.     Insolvency
Proceedings.

       

      6.1     Use of Cash Collateral and
DIP Financing.

       

      
        
           

        

        
          17

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      (a)      In
its capacity as the holder of a Lien on the Collateral, the Second Lien Agent,
for itself and on behalf of the Second Lien Claimholders, shall not contest,
protest or object to, and shall be deemed to have consented to, any use of “cash
collateral” (as defined in Section 363(a) of the Bankruptcy Code) in any
Insolvency Proceeding if First Lien Agent has consented in writing to such use,
provided that (i) Second Lien Claimholders shall have the right to seek
adequate protection permitted by Section 6.4 and (ii) such cash
collateral shall be used and applied to pay any customary “carve-out” or other
similar administrative priority expense or claim (at the same or higher level of
priority as is applicable to trustee’s fees and expenses in clause (i) of
Section 2.04A(b) of the First Lien Credit Agreement) and otherwise in
accordance with the order of priority set forth in Section 2.04A(b) of the
First Lien Credit Agreement applicable during the “Amortization Period” (as
defined therein).

       

      (b)      If
Borrower shall be subject to any Insolvency Proceeding, nothing in this
Agreement shall limit the rights of any First Lien Claimholder or Second Lien
Claimholder, as applicable, to object to or agree to post-petition financing or
the use of cash collateral, except as otherwise provided in Section 6.1(a), 6.1(c), 6.4 or 6.8.

       

      (c)      Second
Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Claimholders, agrees that it
shall not, directly or indirectly, provide, offer to provide or support any DIP
financing secured by a Lien senior to or pari passu with the Liens
securing the First Lien Obligations.

       

      6.2     [Intentionally
Omitted].

       

      6.3     [Intentionally
Omitted].

       

      6.4     Adequate
Protection.

       

      (a)      In
any Insolvency Proceeding, the Second Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and the
Second Lien Claimholders, agrees that none of them shall contest, protest or
object to (or support any other Person contesting or objecting to) (i) any
request by the First Lien Agent or the First Lien Claimholders for “adequate
protection” (within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar Bankruptcy
Law) or any agreement between the Borrower and First Lien Claimholders providing
for adequate protection to First Lien Claimholders; or (ii) any objection
by the First Lien Agent or the First Lien Claimholders to any motion, relief,
action or proceeding based on the First Lien Agent or the First Lien
Claimholders claiming a lack of adequate protection.

       

      (b)      Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions in this Section 6.4, in
any Insolvency Proceeding:

       

      (i)       except
as permitted in this Section 6.4, the
Second Lien Claimholders may not seek or request adequate protection and may not
seek relief from the automatic stay imposed by Section 362 of the
Bankruptcy Code (or similar Bankruptcy Law) or other relief based upon a lack of
adequate protection;

       

      (ii)       if
the First Lien Claimholders (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate
protection in the form of additional Collateral, then the Second
Lien

       

      
        
           

        

        
          18

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      Agent,
on behalf of itself and the Second Lien Claimholders, may seek or request
adequate protection in the form of a Lien on such additional or replacement
Collateral, which Lien will be subordinated to the Liens at any time securing
the First Lien Obligations on the same basis as the other Liens securing the
Second Lien Obligations are so subordinated to the First Lien Obligations under
this Agreement (and the First Lien Claimholders will not contest or object
thereto); and

       

      (iii)      any
claim of the Second Lien Claimholders under Section 507(b) of the
Bankruptcy Code (or similar Bankruptcy Law) shall be subordinate in right of
payment to any claim of the First Lien Claimholders under Section 507(b) of
the Bankruptcy Code (or similar Bankruptcy Law).

       

      6.5     No
Waiver.  Subject to Sections 3.1(a)
and (d) and
6.8(b), nothing
contained herein shall prohibit or in any way limit the First Lien Agent or any
First Lien Claimholder from objecting in any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise
to any action taken by the Second Lien Agent or any of the Second Lien
Claimholders, including the seeking by the Second Lien Agent or any Second Lien
Claimholders of adequate protection or the asserting by the Second Lien Agent or
any Second Lien Claimholders of any of its rights and remedies under the Second
Lien Loan Documents or otherwise.

       

      6.6     Avoidance
Issues.  To the extent any First Lien Claimholder receives
payment or any property on account of any First Lien Obligations and such
transfer is subsequently invalidated, avoided, declared to be fraudulent or
preferential, set aside or otherwise required to be transferred to a trustee,
receiver, or the estate of the Borrower (a “Recovery”), then, to the
extent of such Recovery, such First Lien Obligations intended to have been
satisfied by such transfer shall be reinstated as First Lien Obligations from
and after the date of such Recovery and the Discharge of First Lien Obligations
shall be deemed not the have occurred for all purposes hereunder.  If
this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such Recovery, this Agreement
shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior termination shall
not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of
the parties hereto from such date of reinstatement.

       

      6.7     Reorganization
Securities.  Nothing in this Agreement shall in any way
prohibit or limit the right of any Second Lien Claimholder to receive and retain
any debt or equity securities that are issued by any reorganized debtor pursuant
to any plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan in
connection with any Insolvency Proceeding.  If, in any Insolvency
Proceeding, debt obligations of the reorganized debtor secured by Liens upon any
property of the reorganized debtor are distributed pursuant to a plan of
reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan, both on account of
First Lien Obligations and on account of Second Lien Obligations, then, to the
extent the debt obligations distributed on account of the First Lien Obligations
and on account of the Second Lien Obligations are secured by Liens upon the same
property, the provisions of this Agreement will survive the distribution of such
debt obligations pursuant to such plan and will apply with like effect to the
Liens securing such debt obligations.

       

      
        
           

        

        
          19

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      6.8     Post-Petition
Claims.  (a)  Neither the Second Lien Agent nor any
Second Lien Claimholder shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the First
Lien Agent or any First Lien Claimholder for allowance or payment in any
Insolvency Proceeding of First Lien Obligations consisting of Post-Petition
Claims to the extent of the value of any Collateral securing the First Lien
Obligations without regard to the existence of the Lien securing the Second Lien
Obligations.

       

      (b)      Neither
the First Lien Agent nor any other First Lien Claimholder shall oppose or seek
to challenge any claim by the Second Lien Agent or any Second Lien Claimholder
for allowance in any Insolvency Proceeding of Second Lien Obligations consisting
of Post-Petition Claims to the extent of the value of any Collateral securing
the Second Lien Obligations after taking into account the amount of the First
Lien Obligations.

       

      6.9     Valuation of
Collateral.  In any Insolvency Proceeding, the First Lien Agent
and First Lien Claimholders agree not to contest the characterization of the
Second Lien Obligations as secured claims under Section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy
Code or otherwise seek a valuation of the Collateral for the purpose of
determining whether the Second Lien Obligations constitute secured claims under
the Bankruptcy Code in each case for a period of 60 days following the
commencement of the “Amortization Period” (as defined in the First Lien Credit
Agreement).

       

      6.10   Separate Grants of Security
and Separate Classification.  The Second Lien Agent, for itself
and on behalf of the Second Lien Claimholders, and the First Lien Agent for
itself and on behalf of the First Lien Claimholders, acknowledges and agrees
that (i) the grants of Liens pursuant to the First Lien Loan Documents and
the Second Lien Loan Documents constitute two separate and distinct grants of
Liens and (ii) because of, among other things, their differing rights in
the Collateral, the Second Lien Obligations, to the extent deemed to be “secured
claims” within the meaning of Section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any
similar Bankruptcy Law), are fundamentally different from the First Lien
Obligations and must be separately classified in any plan of reorganization in
an Insolvency Proceeding.  The Second Lien Claimholders shall not seek
in any Insolvency Proceeding to be treated as part of the same class of
creditors as the First Lien Claimholders and shall not oppose or contest any
pleading by the First Lien Claimholders seeking separate classification of their
respective secured claims.

       

      6.11   Effectiveness in Insolvency
Proceedings.  This Agreement, which the parties hereto
expressly acknowledge is a “subordination agreement” under Section 510(a)
of the Bankruptcy Code, shall be effective before, during and after the
commencement of an Insolvency Proceeding.  All references in this
Agreement to the Borrower shall include the Borrower as a debtor-in-possession
and any receiver or trustee for the Borrower in any Insolvency
Proceeding.

Lien Claimholders, acknowledges that it and the Second Lien Claimholders have,

Claimholder, and based on documents and information deemed by them appropriate,
made their own credit analysis and decision to enter into each of the Second
Lien Loan Documents and be bound by the terms of this Agreement and they will
continue to make their own credit decision in taking or not taking any action
under the Second Lien Loan Documents or this Agreement.

Liability.  The First Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and the
First Lien Claimholders under the First Lien Loan Documents, acknowledges and
agrees that each of the Second Lien Agent and the Second Lien Claimholders have
made no express or implied representation or warranty, including with respect to

Lien Claimholders have made no express or implied representation or warranty,

Claimholders will be entitled to manage and supervise their respective loans and
extensions of credit under their respective First Lien Loan Documents in
accordance with law and as they may otherwise, in their sole discretion, deem
appropriate.  The Second Lien Agent and the Second Lien Claimholders
shall have no duty to the First Lien Agent or any of the First Lien
Claimholders, and the First Lien Agent and the First Lien Claimholders shall
have no duty to the Second Lien Agent or any of the Second Lien Claimholders, to
act or refrain from acting in a manner which allows, or results in, the
occurrence or continuance of an Event of Default or default under any agreements
with the Borrower (including the First Lien Loan Documents and the Second Lien
Loan Documents), regardless of any knowledge thereof which they may have or be
charged with.

       

      7.3     No Waiver of Lien
Priorities.

       

      (a)      No
right of the First Lien Claimholders, the First Lien Agent or any of them to
enforce any provision of this Agreement or any First Lien Loan Document shall at
any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on
the part of the Borrower or by any act or failure to act by any First Lien
Claimholder or the First Lien Agent, or by any noncompliance by any Person with
the terms, provisions and covenants of this Agreement, any of the First Lien
Loan Documents or any of the Second Lien Loan Documents, regardless of any
knowledge thereof which the First Lien Agent or the First Lien Claimholders, or
any of them, may have or be otherwise charged with.

      (b)      Without
in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraph (but subject to
the rights of the Borrower under the First Lien Loan Documents and subject to
the other provisions herein, including Section 3.1(b)),

Credit Agreement to an amount in excess of the First Lien Cap, except for
Inadvertent Excess Advances not exceeding an aggregate amount of $7,000,000
outstanding at any time and (y) the scheduled termination date under the First

First Lien Loan Documents;

       

      (2)      the
collection of the First Lien Obligations; or

       

      (3)      the
foreclosure upon, or sale, liquidation or other disposition of, any First Lien
Collateral.

       

      Except
as otherwise provided herein, the Second Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and the
Second Lien Claimholders, agrees that the First Lien Claimholders and the First
Lien Agent have no duty to them in respect of the maintenance or preservation of

Obligations, the Second Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and the Second Lien
Claimholders, agrees not to assert and hereby waives, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, any right to demand, request, plead or otherwise assert or
otherwise claim the benefit of, any marshalling, appraisal, valuation or other

under applicable law.

       

      7.4     Obligations
Unconditional.  All rights, interests, agreements and
obligations of the First Lien Agent and the First Lien Claimholders and the
Second Lien Agent and the Second Lien Claimholders, respectively, hereunder
shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of:

       

      (a)      any

Second Lien Loan Documents or any setting aside or avoidance of any
Lien;

all or any of the First Lien Obligations or Second Lien Obligations or any
guaranty thereof;

          23

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      (e)      any
other circumstances which otherwise might constitute a defense available to, or
a discharge of, the Borrower in respect of the First Lien Agent, the First Lien
Obligations, any First Lien Claimholder, the Second Lien Agent, the Second Lien
Obligations or any Second Lien Claimholder in respect of this
Agreement.

       

      SECTION
8.     Miscellaneous.

       

      8.1     Conflicts.  In
the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the
provisions of the First Lien Loan Documents or the Second Lien Loan Documents,
the provisions of this Agreement shall govern and control.

       

      8.2     Effectiveness; Continuing
Nature of this Agreement; Severability.  This Agreement shall
become effective when executed and delivered by the parties
hereto.  This is a continuing agreement of lien subordination and the
First Lien Claimholders may continue, at any time and without notice to the
Second Lien Agent or any Second Lien Claimholder subject to the Second Lien Loan
Documents, to extend credit and other financial accommodations and lend monies
to or for the benefit of the Borrower constituting First Lien Obligations in
reliance hereof.  The First Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and the
First Lien Claimholders, and the Second Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and the
Second Lien Claimholders, each hereby waives any right it may have under
applicable law to revoke this Agreement or any of the provisions of this
Agreement.  The terms of this Agreement shall survive, and shall
continue in full force and effect, in any Insolvency Proceeding.  Any
provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction shall not invalidate the remaining provisions hereof, and any such
prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or
render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.  This
Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect:

       

      (a)      with
respect to the First Lien Agent, the First Lien Claimholders and the First Lien
Obligations, on the date of Discharge of First Lien Obligations, subject to the
rights of the First Lien Claimholders under Section 6.6;
and

       

      (b)      with
respect to the Second Lien Agent, the Second Lien Claimholders and the Second
Lien Obligations, upon the later of (1) the date upon which the obligations
under the Second Lien Credit Agreement terminate if there are no other Second
Lien Obligations outstanding on such date and (2) if there are other Second Lien
Obligations outstanding on such date, the date upon which such Second Lien
Obligations are paid in full in cash and terminate.

       

      8.3     Amendments;
Waivers.  No amendment, modification or waiver of any of the
provisions of this Agreement by the Second Lien Agent or the First Lien Agent
shall be deemed to be made unless the same shall be in writing signed on behalf
of each party hereto or its authorized agent and each waiver, if any, shall be a
waiver only with respect to the specific instance involved and shall in no way
impair the rights of the parties making such waiver or the obligations of the
other parties to such party in any other respect or at any other
time.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall not have any
right to consent to or approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any
provision of this Agreement except to the extent its rights are directly
affected.

      8.4     Information Concerning
Financial Condition of the Borrower.  The First Lien Agent and
