                                   ARTICLE I

                                  THE ADVANCES

      SECTION 1.1 CREDIT FACILITY.

      (a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, from time to time
on and after the Initial Funding Date and prior to the Facility Termination
Date:

            (i) Borrower may, at its option, request Advances from the Lenders
      in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed
      the lesser of the Aggregate Commitment and the Borrowing Base (such lesser
      amount, the "Borrowing Limit");

            (ii) subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each
      Lender Group shall make available Loans in an amount equal to the lesser
      of such Lender Group's Lender Group Limit and its Lender Group Share of
      the Advance requested, as provided for herein; and

            (iii) any Conduit may, at its option, make available its Lender
      Group Share of the requested Advance, or if any Conduit shall decline to
      make available its Lender Group Share of any Advance requested prior to
      the Commitment Termination Date, except as otherwise provided in Section
      1.2, the Liquidity Banks that are members of the related Lender Group
      severally agree to make Loans in an amount equal to the lesser of such
      Lender Group's Lender Group Limit and the related Lender Group Share of
      the requested Advance, it being understood that no Liquidity Bank shall
      have any obligation to make any Loan after the Commitment Termination
      Date.

      Each of the Advances, and all other Obligations, shall be secured by the
Collateral as provided in Article XIII. It is the intent of each Conduit to fund
its Lender Group Share of all Advances by the issuance of Commercial Paper.

      (b) Borrower may, upon at least 30 days' notice to the Agent, terminate in
whole or reduce in part, ratably among the Lender Groups, the unused portion of
the Aggregate Commitment of the Liquidity Banks; provided that each partial
reduction of the Aggregate Commitment shall be in an amount equal to at least
$10,000,000 (or a larger integral multiple of $1,000,000 if in excess thereof).
Each such reduction shall reduce the Commitments of the Liquidity Banks of each
Lender Group ratably among such Liquidity Banks in such Lender Group.

      SECTION 1.2 INCREASES.

      Borrower shall provide the Agent and each Lender Group Agent with at least
two (2) Business Days' prior notice in a form set forth as Exhibit II hereto of
each Advance (each, a "Borrowing Notice"). Each Borrowing Notice shall be
subject to Section 6.2 hereof and shall be irrevocable and shall specify the
requested increase in Aggregate Principal (which shall not be less than
$1,000,000 or a larger integral multiple of $100,000) and the Borrowing Date
(which, in the case of any Advance after the initial Advance hereunder, shall
only be on a Settlement

                                       2

<PAGE>

Date) and, in the case of an Advance requested on or before the Commitment
Termination Date and to be funded by the Liquidity Banks, the requested Interest
Rate and Interest Period. Following receipt of a Borrowing Notice, each Lender
Group Agent will determine whether related Conduit will make available such
Lender Group's Lender Group Share of the requested Advance. If any Conduit or
the related Lender Group Agent determines that such Conduit will not make
available the related Lender Group's Lender Group Share of a proposed Advance,
then such Lender Group's Lender Group Share of a proposed Advance will be made
by the related Liquidity Banks and such Loan will accrue CP Costs for the period
from the date such Loan is made to the end to the then current Settlement
Period. On the date of each Advance, upon satisfaction of the applicable
conditions precedent set forth in Article VI, each Conduit or the related
Liquidity Banks (with respect to Advances requested on or before the Commitment
Termination Date), as applicable, shall wire transfer, or cause to be wire
transferred, immediately available funds to the Facility Account in an amount
equal to (a) in the case of a Conduit, its Lender Group Share of the principal
amount of the requested Advance or (b) in the case of a Liquidity Bank, such
Liquidity Bank's Pro Rata Share of its Lender Group Share of the principal
amount of the requested Advance.

      SECTION 1.3 DECREASES.

      Except as provided in Section 1.4, Borrower shall provide the Agent with
prior written notice in conformity with the Required Notice Period and in a form
set forth as Exhibit XIII hereto (a "Reduction Notice") of any proposed
reduction of Aggregate Principal. Such Reduction Notice shall designate (a) the
date (the "Proposed Reduction Date") upon which any such reduction of Aggregate
Principal shall occur (which date shall give effect to the applicable Required
Notice Period) and (b) the amount of Aggregate Principal to be reduced (the
"Aggregate Reduction"), which shall be applied ratably among all Lender Groups
and, within each Lender Group, to the Loans specified by Borrower in the
Reduction Notice, or if no Loans are so specified, ratably to the Loans of the
related Conduit and the Liquidity Banks. Only one (1) Reduction Notice shall be
outstanding at any time.

      SECTION 1.4 DEEMED COLLECTIONS; BORROWING LIMIT.

      (a)   If on any day on or after the Initial Funding Date:

            (i) the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable is reduced as a result
      of any defective or rejected goods or services, any cash discount or any
      other adjustment by any Originator or any Affiliate thereof, or as a
      result of any tariff or other governmental or regulatory action, or

            (ii) the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable is reduced or
      canceled as a result of a setoff in respect of any claim by the Obligor
      thereof (whether such claim arises out of the same or a related or an
      unrelated transaction), or

            (iii) the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable is reduced on
      account of the obligation of any Originator or any Affiliate thereof to
      pay to the related Obligor any rebate or refund, or

                                       3

<PAGE>

            (iv) the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable is less than the
      amount included in calculating the Net Pool Balance for purposes of any
      Monthly Report (for any reason other than such Receivable becoming a
      Defaulted Receivable), or

            (v) any of the representations or warranties of Borrower set forth
      in Section 5.1(i), (j), (r), (s), (t) or (u) were not true when made with
      respect to any Receivable,

then, on such day, Borrower shall be deemed to have received a Collection of
such Receivable (A) in the case of clauses (i) - (iv) above, in the amount of
such reduction or cancellation or the difference between the actual Outstanding
Balance and the amount included in calculating such Net Pool Balance, as
applicable; and (B) in the case of clause (v) above, in the amount of the
Outstanding Balance of such Receivable; provided, however, that in any such
case, (1) provided that no Amortization Event has occurred, if after giving
effect to a reduction in the Outstanding Balances of all affected Receivables in
the amounts described in clauses (A) and (B) of this Section 1.4(a), a Borrowing
Base Deficiency exists, Borrower shall immediately pay to each Lender Group
Agent, in accordance with Section 1.4(b), an amount necessary to cure such
Borrowing Base Deficiency or (2) if an Amortization Event has occurred, Borrower
shall pay to the Collection Account, in immediately available funds, the amounts
specified in clauses (A) or (B) of this Section 1.4(a), as applicable on the
Business Day that Borrower or the Servicer becomes aware such breach exists.

      If, in accordance with clause (B) of Section 1.4(a), Borrower deposits or
caused to be deposited in a Collection Account the Outstanding Balance of a
Receivable, then, on the next Settlement Date, upon receipt by the Agent and
each Lender Group Agent of a Monthly Report identifying such Receivable and the
Outstanding Balance thereof, the Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties shall
release its security interest in such Receivable and the Related Security and
Collections (other than the related Deemed Collection) with respect thereto
without any further action required on the part of Borrower, the Agent or the
Secured Parties.

      (b) Borrower shall ensure that the Aggregate Principal at no time exceeds
the Borrowing Limit. If at any time a Borrowing Base Deficiency exists, then
Borrower shall immediately pay to each Lender Group Agent, in immediately
available funds, an amount equal to such Lender Group Share of the amount
necessary to reduce the Aggregate Principal, such that after giving effect to
such payment the Aggregate Principal is less than or equal to the Borrowing
Limit. Upon receipt of such funds, each Lender Group Agent shall apply such
funds to the Loans specified by Borrower in writing to each Lender Group Agent,
or if no Loans are so specified, ratably to the Loans of the related Conduit and
the Liquidity Banks, such that after giving effect to such payment the related
Lender Group Principal is less than or equal to the Lender Group Limit.

      SECTION 1.5 PAYMENT REQUIREMENTS.

      All amounts to be paid or deposited by any Loan Party pursuant to any
provision of this Agreement shall be paid or deposited in accordance with the
terms hereof no later than 1:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the day when due in
immediately available funds, and if not received by 1:30 p.m. (New York City
time) shall be deemed to be received on the next succeeding

                                       4

<PAGE>

Business Day. If such amounts are payable to a Lender Group they shall be paid
to the related Lender Group Agent's Account, for the account of such Lender
Group, until otherwise notified by the applicable Lender Group Agent. Upon
notice to Borrower, the Agent may debit the Facility Account for all amounts due
and payable hereunder. All computations of CP Costs, Interest, per annum fees
calculated as part of any CP Costs, per annum fees hereunder and per annum fees
under each Fee Letter shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the
actual number of days elapsed. Unless otherwise provided for herein, if any
amount hereunder shall be payable on a day which is not a Business Day, such
amount shall be payable on the next succeeding Business Day.

      SECTION 1.6 RATABLE LOANS; FUNDING MECHANICS; LIQUIDITY FUNDINGS.

      (a) Each Advance hereunder shall consist of one or more Loans made by each
Lender Group and, within each Lender Group, by the related Conduit and/or the
related Liquidity Banks.

      (b) Each Lender funding any Loan shall transfer the principal amount of
its Loan to its Lender Group Agent on the applicable Borrowing Date and each
Lender Group Agent, subject to its receipt of such Loan proceeds, shall transfer
such funds to the Facility Account on such Borrowing Date.

      (c) While it is the intent of each Conduit to fund the related Lender
Group Share of each requested Advance through the issuance of its Commercial
Paper, the parties acknowledge that if any Conduit is unable, or such Conduit or
the related Lender Group Agent determines that it is undesirable, to issue
Commercial Paper to fund all or any portion of its Lender Group Share of Loans,
or is unable to repay such Commercial Paper upon the maturity thereof, such
Conduit may put all or any portion of its Loans (including any requested
Advance) to the Liquidity Banks for the related Lender Group at any time
pursuant to the Liquidity Agreement for such Lender Group to finance or
refinance any portion or all of its Lender Group Share of Loans through a
Liquidity Funding to the extent available. The Liquidity Fundings may be
Alternate Base Rate Loans or LIBO Rate Loans, or a combination thereof, selected
by Borrower in accordance with Article IV, provided, however, that if a Conduit
puts all or any portion of its Loans to the related Liquidity Banks for the
purpose of funding a Borrowing Request, then such Loan will accrue CP Costs for
the period from the date such Liquidity Funding is made to the end to the then
current Settlement Period. Regardless of whether a Liquidity Funding constitutes
the direct funding of a Loan, an assignment of a Loan made by the related
Conduit or the sale of one or more participations in a Loan made by the related
Conduit, each Liquidity Bank participating in a Liquidity Funding shall have the
rights of a "Lender" hereunder with the same force and effect as if it had

                             LIQUIDITY BANK FUNDING

      SECTION 4.1 LIQUIDITY BANK FUNDING.

      Prior to the occurrence of an Amortization Event, the outstanding
principal balance of each Liquidity Funding shall, subject to the provisions of
Section 1.2 and 1.6(c) relating to Loans made by any Lender, accrue interest for
each day during its Interest Period at either the LIBO Rate or the Alternate
Base Rate in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. Subject to the
provisions of Section 1.2 and 1.6(c) relating to Loans made by any Lender, until
Borrower gives notice to the Lender Group Agent for each Lender Group of another
Interest Rate in accordance with Section 4.4, the initial Interest Rate for any
Loan made by any Conduit that is transferred to the Liquidity Banks for such
Conduit's Lender Group pursuant to the related Liquidity Agreement shall be the
Alternate Base Rate (unless the Default Rate is then applicable). If the
Liquidity Banks of a Lender Group acquire by assignment from the related Conduit
any Loan pursuant to the Liquidity Agreement for such Lender Group, each such
Loan so assigned shall be deemed to have an Interest Period commencing on the
date of any such assignment.

      SECTION 4.2 INTEREST PAYMENTS.

      On the last day of each Interest Period for each Liquidity Funding,
Borrower shall pay to the applicable Lender Group Agent (for the benefit of the
related Liquidity Banks) the accrued and unpaid Interest for the entire Interest
Period of each such Liquidity Funding of such Lender Group.

      SECTION 4.3 SELECTION AND CONTINUATION OF INTEREST PERIODS.

      (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 1.2 and 1.6(c) relating to Loans
made by any Lender, Borrower shall from time to time request Interest Periods
for the Liquidity Fundings of a Lender Group by providing notice to the related
Lender Group Agent in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.4, provided
that if at any time any Liquidity Funding is outstanding for a Lender Group,
Borrower shall always request Interest Periods for such Lender Group such that
at least one Interest Period for such Lender Group shall end on the next
succeeding Settlement Date; provided, further, that if no Interest Period is so
selected, the Interest Period shall be one month.

      (b) Borrower or a Lender Group Agent, upon notice to and consent by the
other received at least three (3) Business Days prior to the end of an Interest
Period (the "Terminating Tranche") for any Liquidity Funding of the related
Lender Group, may, effective on the last day of the Terminating Tranche: (i)
divide any such Liquidity Funding into multiple Liquidity Fundings, (ii) combine
any such Liquidity Funding with one or more other Liquidity Fundings of such
Lender Group that have a Terminating Tranche ending on the same day as such
Terminating Tranche or (iii) combine any such Liquidity Funding with a new
Liquidity Funding to be made by the Liquidity Banks of such Lender Group on the
day such Terminating Tranche ends.

<PAGE>

      SECTION 4.4 LIQUIDITY BANK INTEREST RATES.

      Subject to the provisions of Section 1.2 and 1.6(c) relating to Loans made
by any Lender, Borrower may select the LIBO Rate or the Alternate Base Rate for
each Liquidity Funding. Borrower shall by 1:30 pm (New York City time): (a) at
least three (3) Business Days prior to the expiration of any Terminating Tranche
with respect to which the LIBO Rate is being requested as a new Interest Rate
and (b) at least one (1) Business Day prior to the expiration of any Terminating
Tranche with respect to which the Alternate Base Rate is being requested as a
new Interest Rate, give the applicable Lender Group Agent irrevocable notice of
the new Interest Rate for the Liquidity Funding associated with such Terminating
Tranche. Subject to the provisions of Section 1.2 and 1.6(c) relating to Loans
made by any Lender, until Borrower gives notice to the applicable Lender Group
Agent of another Interest Rate, the initial Interest Rate for any Loan
transferred to the Liquidity Banks of a Lender Group pursuant to the Liquidity
Agreement for such Lender Group shall be the Alternate Base Rate (unless the
Default Rate is then applicable).

      SECTION 4.5 SUSPENSION OF THE LIBO RATE.

      (a) If any Liquidity Bank notifies the applicable Lender Group Agent that
it has determined that funding its Pro Rata Share of the Liquidity Fundings for
such Lender Group at a LIBO Rate would violate any applicable law, rule,
regulation, or directive of any governmental or regulatory authority, whether or
not having the force of law, or that such LIBO Rate does not accurately reflect
the cost of acquiring or maintaining a Liquidity Funding at such LIBO Rate by
such Liquidity Bank, then such Lender Group Agent shall suspend the availability
of such LIBO Rate and require Borrower to select the Alternate Base Rate for any
Liquidity Funding of such Lender Group accruing Interest at such LIBO Rate.

      (b) If less than all of the Liquidity Banks of a Lender Group give a
notice to the applicable Lender Group Agent pursuant to Section 4.5(a), then
each Liquidity Bank which gave such a notice or requested such reimbursement or
indemnity shall be obligated, at the request of Borrower to assign all of its
rights and obligations hereunder to (A) another Liquidity Bank that is a member
of the related Lender Group Agent, if such Liquidity Bank accepts such
assignment or (B) another entity nominated by Borrower or the related Lender
Group Agent that is an Eligible Assignee willing to participate in this
Agreement through the Liquidity Termination Date in the place of such notifying
Liquidity Bank; provided that (1) the notifying Liquidity Bank receives payment
in full, pursuant to an Assignment Agreement, of all Obligations owing to it
(whether due or accrued), (2) the replacement Liquidity Bank otherwise satisfies
the requirements of Section 12.1(b) and (3) such replacement Liquidity Bank
shall be satisfactory to the Agent and the related Lender Group Agent.

      SECTION 4.6 DEFAULT RATE.

      From and after the occurrence of an Amortization Event, all Liquidity
Fundings shall accrue Interest at the Default Rate.

                         REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

      SECTION 5.1 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE LOAN PARTIES.

      Each Loan Party hereby represents and warrants to the Agent, each Lender
Group Agent and the Lenders, as to itself, as of the date hereof, as of the date
of each Advance, of each Reinvestment and of each Settlement Date that:

      (a) Existence and Power. Such Loan Party's jurisdiction of organization is
correctly set forth in the preamble to this Agreement. Such Loan Party is duly
organized under the laws of that jurisdiction and no other state or
jurisdiction, and such jurisdiction must maintain a public record showing the
organization to have been organized. Such Loan Party is validly existing and in
good standing under the laws of its state of organization. Such Loan Party is
duly qualified to do business and is in good standing as a foreign entity, and
has and holds all organizational power and all governmental licenses,
authorizations, consents and approvals required to carry on its business in each
jurisdiction in which its business is conducted except where the failure to so
qualify or so hold could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.

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

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

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

                                       11

<PAGE>

      (e) Actions, Suits. There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending, or
to the best of such Loan Party's knowledge, threatened, against or affecting
such Loan Party, or any of its properties, in or before any court, arbitrator or
other body, that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
Such Loan Party is not in default with respect to any order of any court,
arbitrator or governmental body.

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

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

      (h) Use of Proceeds. No proceeds of any Advance hereunder will be used (i)
for a purpose that violates, or would be inconsistent with, (A) Section 7.2(e)
of this Agreement or (B) Regulation T, U or X promulgated by the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System from time to time or (ii) to acquire any
security in any transaction which is subject to Section 12, 13 or 14 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

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

      (j) Perfection. This Agreement is effective to create a valid security
interest in favor of the Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties in the
Collateral to secure payment of the Obligations, free and clear of any Adverse
Claim except as created by the Transactions Documents. As of the Initial Funding
Date, there have been duly filed all financing statements or other similar
instruments or documents necessary under the UCC (or any comparable law) of all
appropriate jurisdictions to perfect the Agent's (on behalf of the Secured
Parties) security interest in the Collateral. Such Loan Party's jurisdiction of
organization is a jurisdiction whose law generally requires information
concerning the existence of a nonpossessory security interest to be made
generally available in a filing, record or registration system as a condition or
result of such a security interest's obtaining priority over the rights of a
lien creditor which respect to collateral.

                                       12

granted any Person, other than the Agent as contemplated by this Agreement,
dominion and control of any Lock-Box or Collection Account, or the right to take
dominion and control of any such Lock-Box or Collection Account at a future time
or upon the occurrence of a future event.

      (m) Material Adverse Effect. (i) The initial Servicer represents and
warrants that since December 31, 2002, no event has occurred that would have a
material adverse effect on the financial condition or operations of the initial
Servicer and its Subsidiaries or the ability of the initial Servicer to perform
its obligations under this Agreement, and (ii) Borrower represents and warrants
that since the date of this Agreement, no event has occurred that would have a
material adverse effect on (A) the financial condition or operations of
Borrower, (B) the ability of Borrower to perform its obligations under the
Transaction Documents, or (C) the collectibility of the Receivables generally or
any material portion of the Receivables.

      (n) Names. The name in which Borrower has executed this Agreement is
identical to the name of Borrower as indicated on the public record of its state
of organization which shows Borrower to have been organized. In the past five
(5) years, Borrower has not used any corporate names, trade names or assumed
names other than the name in which it has executed this Agreement.

      (o) Ownership of Borrower. Allied owns, directly or indirectly, 100% of
the issued and outstanding capital stock of Borrower, free and clear of any
Adverse Claim, other than any Adverse Claim subject to a written agreement
between the Agent and Person holding such Adverse Claim, which agreement shall
be in the form and substance of Section 9.16 of the Senior Credit Agreement
(notwithstanding the definition of Senior Credit Agreement, as such Senior
Credit Agreement exists on the Closing Date without giving effect to any
amendment, modification, waiver, restatement, replacement or supplement thereof
or thereto) and shall apply equally to any capital stock, notes or other
interests in or obligations of Borrower, with the Agent expressly noted as a
third party beneficiary of such agreement (the "Standstill Agreement") and the
Standstill Agreement shall be executed by, and enforceable (as evidenced by a
representation to such effect by the Performance Guarantor) against, each party
thereto (except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws relating to or limiting
creditors' rights generally and by general principles of equity, regardless of
whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law) on or before
June 5, 2003. Such capital stock is validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable, and there are no options, warrants or other rights to acquire
securities of Borrower.

                                       13

<PAGE>

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

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

      (r) Compliance with Credit and Collection Policy. Such Loan Party has
complied in all material respects with the Credit and Collection Policy with
regard to each Receivable and the related Contract, and has not made any
material change to such Credit and Collection Policy, except in accordance with
Section 7.1(a)(vii).

      (s) Payments to Applicable Originator. With respect to each Receivable
transferred to Borrower under the Receivables Sale Agreement, Borrower has given
reasonably equivalent value (determined as of the date such Receivable was
acquired by Borrower) to the applicable Originator in consideration therefor and
such transfer was not made for or on account of an antecedent debt. No transfer
by any Originator of any Receivable under the Receivables Sale Agreement is or
may be voidable under any section of the Federal Bankruptcy Code.

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

      (u) Eligible Receivables. Each Receivable included in the Net Pool Balance
as an Eligible Receivable on any date was an Eligible Receivable on such date.

      (v) Borrowing Limit. Immediately after giving effect to each Advance, each
Reinvestment and each settlement on any Settlement Date hereunder, the Aggregate
Principal is less than or equal to the Borrowing Limit.

      (w) Accounting. Each Loan Party accounts for the transactions contemplated
by the Receivables Sale Agreement as a sale of the Receivables, Related Security
and Collections.

      its respective fiscal years, audited, unqualified financial statements
      (which shall include balance sheets, statements of income and retained
      earnings and a statement of cash flows) for itself and its consolidated
      subsidiaries for such fiscal year certified by independent public
      accountants reasonably acceptable to the Agent and each Lender Group
      Agent.

            (ii)  Quarterly Reporting. Within 45 days after the close of the

            (vii) Change in Credit and Collection Policy. Promptly after the
      effectiveness of any material change in or amendment to the Credit and
      Collection Policy, a copy of the Credit and Collection Policy then in

      quality of any newly created Receivables, the Agent's and each Lender
      Group Agent's prior written consent thereto shall be required. The Agent

      in order to protect the interests of the Agent and the Secured Parties
      under or as contemplated by this Agreement.

      Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer's obligations pursuant to

      their respective Subsidiaries exceeds $50,000,000 after deducting (I) the
      amount with respect to which Performance Guarantor, the Servicer or any
      such Subsidiary, as the case may be, is insured and with respect to which

      to file or commence, any action, suit or proceeding, whether at law or in
      equity or by or before any governmental authority, against the Performance
      Guarantor or the Servicer that could, individually or in the aggregate,
      reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, provided,
      however, that any notice required by this subclause (A)(2) shall be

Loan Party will comply in all respects with all applicable laws, rules,

it may be subject, except where the failure to so comply could not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Such Loan Party will preserve and
maintain its corporate existence, rights, franchises and privileges in the
jurisdiction of its incorporation, and qualify and remain qualified in good
standing as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction where its business is
conducted, except where the failure to so preserve and maintain or qualify could

Event has occurred and is continuing, (A) excluding the first Review after the
Closing Date and any Reviews to ascertain compliance by the Servicer (and its
Affiliates who are sub-servicers) with the requirements of Section 8.8, the Loan
Parties shall only be responsible for the costs and expenses of two (2) Reviews
in any one calendar year and (B) the Agent and the Lender Group Agents will not
request more than four (4) Reviews in any one calendar year.

      (e) Keeping and Marking of Records and Books.

            (i)   The Servicer will (and will cause each Originator to) maintain
      and implement administrative and operating procedures (including, without
      limitation, an ability to recreate records evidencing Receivables in the
      event of the destruction of the originals thereof), and keep and maintain
      all documents, books, records and other information reasonably necessary
      or advisable for the collection of all Receivables (including, without
      limitation, records adequate to permit the immediate identification of
      each new Receivable and all Collections of and adjustments to each
      existing Receivable). The Servicer will (and will cause each Originator

      paper) relating to the Receivables.

      (f)   Compliance with Contracts and Credit and Collection Policy. Such
Loan Party will (and will cause each Originator to) timely and fully (i) perform
and comply with all provisions, covenants and other promises required to be
observed by it under the Contracts related to the Receivables, and (ii) comply
in all respects with the Credit and Collection Policy in regard to each
Receivable and the related Contract; provided, however, any failure to so
perform or comply shall not constitute a breach hereof except to the extent such
failure or non-compliance could be reasonably expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.

      (g)   Performance and Enforcement of Receivables Sale Agreement and other
Transaction Documents. Borrower (i) will perform each of its obligations and
undertakings under and pursuant to the Receivables Sale Agreement and the other
Transaction Documents to which it is a party, (ii) will purchase Receivables
thereunder in strict compliance with the terms of the Receivables Sale
Agreement, (iii) will promptly enforce the rights and remedies accorded to
Borrower under the Receivables Sale Agreement and (iv) will maintain the
effectiveness of, and continue to perform under the Receivables Sale Agreement
and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, such that it does
not amend, restate, supplement, cancel, terminate or otherwise modify the
Receivables Sale Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which it is a
party, or give any consent, waiver, directive or approval thereunder or

                                       19
<PAGE>

waive any default, action, omission or breach under the Receivables Sale
Agreement or any Transaction Document or otherwise grant any indulgence
thereunder, without (in each case) the prior written consent of the Agent or
otherwise as permitted by this Agreement. Borrower will take all actions
necessary to perfect and enforce its rights and interests (and the rights and
interests of the Agent, the Lender Group Agents and the Lenders as assignees of
Borrower) under the Receivables Sale Agreement and as the Agent or any Lender
Group Agent may from time to time reasonably request, including, without
limitation, making claims to which it may be entitled under any indemnity,
reimbursement or similar provision contained in the Receivables Sale Agreement.

      (h)   Ownership. Borrower will take all necessary action to (i) vest
legal and equitable title to the Collateral purchased under the Receivables Sale
Agreement irrevocably in Borrower, free and clear of any Adverse Claims (other
than Adverse Claims in favor of the Agent, for the benefit of the Secured
Parties) including, without limitation, the filing of all financing statements
or other similar instruments or documents necessary under the UCC (or any
comparable law) of all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect Borrower's interest
in such Collateral and such other action to perfect, protect or more fully
evidence the interest of Borrower therein as the Agent or any Lender Group Agent
may reasonably request), and (ii) establish and maintain, in favor of the Agent,
for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a valid and perfected first priority
security interest in all Collateral, free and clear of any Adverse Claims,
including, without limitation, the filing of all financing statements or other
similar instruments or documents necessary under the UCC (or any comparable law)
of all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect the Agent's (for the benefit of the
Secured Parties) security interest in the Collateral and such other action to
perfect, protect or more fully evidence the interest of the Agent for the
benefit of the Secured Parties as the Agent or any Lender Group Agent may
reasonably request.

      (i)   Lenders' Reliance. Borrower acknowledges that the Lenders are
entering into the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in reliance upon
Borrower's identity as a legal entity that is separate from each Originator.
Therefore, from and after the date of execution and delivery of this Agreement,
Borrower shall take all reasonable steps, including, without limitation, all
steps that the Agent, any Lender Group Agent or any Lender may from time to time
reasonably request, to maintain Borrower's identity as a separate legal entity
and to make it manifest to third parties that Borrower is an entity with assets
and liabilities distinct from those of each Originator and any Affiliates
thereof (other than Borrower) and not just a division of any Originator or any
such Affiliate. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and in addition
to the other covenants set forth herein, Borrower will:

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

            (ii)  compensate all employees, consultants and agents directly,
      from Borrower's own funds, for services provided to Borrower by such
      employees, consultants and agents and, to the extent any employee,
      consultant or agent of Borrower is also an employee, consultant or agent
      of any Originator or any Affiliate thereof, allocate the

                                       20
<PAGE>

      compensation of such employee, consultant or agent between Borrower and
      such Originator or such Affiliate, as applicable, on a basis that reflects
      the services rendered to Borrower and such Originator or such Affiliate,
      as applicable;

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

            (iv)  have a separate telephone number, which will be answered only
      in its name and separate stationery and checks in its own name;

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

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

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

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

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

            (x)   except as herein specifically otherwise provided, maintain the
      funds or other assets of Borrower separate from, and not commingled with,
      those of any Originator or any Affiliate thereof and only maintain bank
      accounts or other depository accounts to which Borrower alone is the
      account party, into which Borrower alone makes deposits and from which
      Borrower alone (or the Agent hereunder) has the power to make withdrawals;

                                       21
<PAGE>

            (xi)  pay all of Borrower's operating expenses from Borrower's own
      assets (except for certain payments by any Originator or other Persons
      pursuant to allocation arrangements that comply with the requirements of
      this Section 7.1(i));

            (xii) operate its business and activities such that: it does not
      engage in any business or activity of any kind, or enter into any
      transaction or indenture, mortgage, instrument, agreement, contract, lease
      or other undertaking, other than the transactions as contemplated and
      authorized by this Agreement and the Receivables Sale Agreement and its
      Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws; and does not create, incur,
      guarantee, assume or suffer to exist any indebtedness or other
      liabilities, whether direct or contingent, other than (A) as a result of
      the endorsement of negotiable instruments for deposit or collection or
      similar transactions in the ordinary course of business, (B) the
      incurrence of obligations under this Agreement, (C) the incurrence of
      obligations, as expressly contemplated in the Receivables Sale Agreement,
      to make payment to the applicable Originator thereunder for the purchase
      of Receivables from such Originator under the Receivables Sale Agreement,
      and (D) the incurrence of operating expenses in the ordinary course of
      business of the type otherwise contemplated by this Agreement;

            (xiii) maintain its corporate charter in conformity with this
      Agreement, such that it does not amend, restate, supplement or otherwise
      modify its Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws in any respect that
      would impair its ability to comply with the terms or provisions of any of
      the Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, Section 7.1(i)
      of this Agreement;

            (xiv) [RESERVED];

            (xv)  maintain its corporate separateness such that it does not
      merge or consolidate with or into, or convey, transfer, lease or otherwise
      dispose of (whether in one transaction or in a series of transactions, and
      except as otherwise contemplated herein) all or substantially all of its
      assets (whether now owned or hereafter acquired) to, or acquire all or
      substantially all of the assets of, any Person, nor at any time create,
      have, acquire, maintain or hold any interest in any Subsidiary.

            (xvi) maintain at all times the Required Capital Amount and refrain
      from making any dividend, distribution, redemption of capital stock or
      payment of any subordinated indebtedness which would cause the Required
      Capital Amount to cease to be so maintained; and

            (xvii) take such other actions as are necessary on its part to
      ensure that the facts and assumptions set forth in the opinion issued by
      Latham & Watkins, counsel for Borrower, in connection with the closing or
      initial Advance under this Agreement and relating to substantive
      consolidation issues, and in the certificates accompanying such opinion,
      remain true and correct in all material respects at all times.

      (j)   Collections.

            (i)   Such Loan Party will cause (A) all proceeds from all
      Lock-Boxes to be directly deposited by a Collection Bank into a Collection

<PAGE>

      Box and Collection Account to be subject at all times to a Collection
      Account Agreement that is in full force and effect. In the event any
      payments relating to the Collateral are remitted directly to Borrower or
      any Affiliate of Borrower, Borrower will remit (or will cause all such
      payments to be remitted) directly to a Collection Bank and deposited into
      a Collection Account within two (2) Business Days following receipt
      thereof, and, at all times prior to such remittance, Borrower will itself
      hold or, if applicable, will cause such payments to be held in trust for
      the exclusive benefit of the Agent and the Lenders. Borrower will maintain
      exclusive ownership, dominion and control (subject to the terms of this
      Agreement) of each Lock-Box and Collection Account and shall not grant the
      right to take dominion and control of any Lock-Box or Collection Account
      at a future time or upon the occurrence of a future event to any Person,
      except to the Agent as contemplated by this Agreement.

            (ii)  Borrower, or Servicer on behalf of Borrower, shall cause
      evidence to be delivered to Agent showing that each Lock-Box and each
      Collection Account is maintained in the name of Borrower.

      (k) Taxes. Such Loan Party will file all tax returns and reports required
by law to be filed by it and will promptly pay all taxes and governmental
charges at any time owing, except any such taxes which are not yet delinquent or
are being diligently contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for
which adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP shall have been set aside on its
books. Borrower will pay when due any taxes payable in connection with the
Receivables, exclusive of taxes on or measured by income or gross receipts of
the Agent, any Lender Group Agent or any Lender.

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

      (m) Accuracy of Information. Each Loan Party will cause all information
furnished by such Loan Party or any of its Affiliates to the Agent, any Lender
Group Agent or the Lenders for purposes of or in connection with this Agreement,
any of the other Transaction Documents or any transaction contemplated hereby or
thereby to be true and accurate in all material respects on the date such
information is stated or certified and to not contain any material misstatement
of fact or omit to state a material fact or any fact necessary to make the
statements contained therein not misleading.

      (n) Standstill Agreement. Allied will, if the Agent is not a signatory of
the Standstill Agreement, deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Agent, prior
to the execution of the Standstill Agreement, a final draft of the Standstill
Agreement at least three (3) Business Days prior to the execution of the
Standstill Agreement and the Agent shall have the right to request modifications
and other changes to the final execution copy of the Standstill Agreement for
the purpose of conforming such copy to the substance of Section 9.16 of the
Senior Credit Agreement (notwithstanding the definition of Senior Credit
Agreement, as such Senior Credit Agreement

                                       23
<PAGE>

exists on the Closing Date without giving effect to any amendment, modification,
waiver, restatement or supplement thereof or thereto).

      SECTION 7.2 NEGATIVE COVENANTS OF THE LOAN PARTIES.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                          ADMINISTRATION AND COLLECTION

      SECTION 8.1 DESIGNATION OF SERVICER.

      (a)   The servicing, administration and collection of the Receivables
shall be conducted by such Person (the "Servicer") so designated from time to
time in accordance with this Section 8.1. Allied is hereby designated as, and
hereby agrees to perform the duties and obligations of, the Servicer pursuant to
the terms of this Agreement. The Agent may, at any time from and after the
occurrence of an Amortization Event, designate as Servicer any Person to succeed
Allied or any successor Servicer provided that the Rating Agency Condition is
satisfied.

      (b)   Allied may delegate to the Originators, as sub-servicers of the
Servicer, certain of its duties and responsibilities as Servicer hereunder in
respect of the Receivables originated by

                                       25
<PAGE>

such Originator. Without the prior written consent of the Agent and the Required
Liquidity Banks, Allied shall not be permitted to delegate any of its duties or
responsibilities as Servicer to any Person other than (i) Borrower, (ii) the
Originators, and (iii) with respect to certain Defaulted Receivables, outside
collection agencies in accordance with its customary practices. Neither Borrower
nor any Originator shall be permitted to further delegate to any other Person
any of the duties or responsibilities of the Servicer delegated to it by Allied.
If at any time the Agent shall designate as Servicer any Person other than
Allied, all duties and responsibilities theretofore delegated by Allied to
Borrower or the Originators may, at the discretion of the Agent, be terminated
forthwith on notice given by the Agent to Allied and to Borrower and the
Originators.

      (c)   Notwithstanding the foregoing subsection (b), for so long as Allied
is the Servicer: (i) Allied shall be and remain primarily liable to the parties
hereto for the full and prompt performance of all duties and responsibilities of
the Servicer hereunder and (ii) each of the parties hereto shall be entitled to
deal exclusively with Allied in matters relating to the discharge by the
Servicer of its duties and responsibilities hereunder. For so long as Allied is
the Servicer, no party hereto shall be required to give notice, demand or other
communication to any Person other than Allied in order for communication to the
Servicer and its sub-servicer or other delegate with respect thereto to be
accomplished. Allied, at all times that it is the Servicer, shall be responsible
for providing any sub-servicer or other delegate of the Servicer with any notice
given to the Servicer under this Agreement.

      SECTION 8.2 DUTIES OF SERVICER.

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

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

      (c)   The Servicer shall administer the Collections in accordance with the
procedures described herein and in Article II. The Servicer shall, upon the
request of the Agent, segregate, in a manner acceptable to the Agent, all cash,
checks and other instruments received by it from time to time constituting
Collections from the general funds of the Servicer or Borrower prior to the
remittance thereof in accordance with Article II. If the Servicer shall be
required to segregate

                                       26
<PAGE>

Collections pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Servicer shall segregate and
deposit with a bank designated by the Agent such allocable share of Collections
of Receivables set aside for the Lenders on the first Business Day following
receipt by the Servicer of such Collections, duly endorsed or with duly executed
instruments of transfer.

      (d)   Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Servicer may
extend the maturity of any Receivable or adjust the Outstanding Balance of any
Receivable or otherwise modify the terms of any Receivable as the Servicer
determines to be appropriate to maximize Collections thereof or minimize losses
thereon; provided, however, that such extension or adjustment shall not alter
the status of such Receivable as a Delinquent Receivable or Defaulted
Receivable, otherwise make such Receivable an Eligible Receivable or limit the
rights of the Agent or any Secured Party under this Agreement.

      (e)   The Servicer shall hold in trust for Borrower and the Secured
Parties all Records that (i) evidence or relate to the Receivables, the related
Contracts, Related Security and Collections or (ii) are otherwise necessary or
desirable to collect the Receivables and shall, as soon as practicable upon
demand of the Agent, deliver or make available to the Agent all such Records, at
a place selected by the Agent. The Servicer shall, as soon as practicable
following receipt thereof turn over to Borrower any cash collections or other
cash proceeds in accordance with Article II. The Servicer shall, from time to
time at the request of any Lender Group Agent, furnish to such Lender Group
Agent (promptly after any such request) a calculation of the amounts set aside
for the Lenders pursuant to Article II.

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

      SECTION 8.3 COLLECTION NOTICES.

      The Agent is authorized at any time to date and to deliver to the
Collection Banks the Collection Notices. Borrower hereby transfers to the Agent
for the benefit of the Secured Parties, effective when the Agent delivers such
notice, the exclusive ownership and control of each Lock-Box and the Collection
Accounts. In case any authorized signatory of Borrower whose signature appears
on a Collection Account Agreement shall cease to have such authority before the
delivery of such notice, such Collection Notice shall nevertheless be valid as
if such authority had remained in force. Borrower hereby authorizes the Agent,
and agrees that the Agent shall be entitled (a) at any time after delivery of
the Collection Notices, to endorse Borrower's name on checks and other
instruments representing Collections, (b) at any time after the occurrence of an
Amortization Event, to enforce the Receivables, the related Contracts and the
Related Security, and (c) at any time after the occurrence of an Amortization
Event, to take such action as shall be necessary or desirable to cause all cash,
checks and other instruments constituting Collections of Receivables to come
into the possession of the Agent rather than Borrower.

                                       27
<PAGE>

      SECTION 8.4 RESPONSIBILITIES OF BORROWER.

      Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the exercise by the Agent
and the Secured Parties of their rights hereunder shall not release the
Servicer, any Originator or Borrower from any of their duties or obligations
with respect to any Receivables or under the related Contracts. Neither the
Agent nor any of the Secured Parties shall have any obligation or liability with
respect to any Receivables or related Contracts, nor shall any of them be
obligated to perform the obligations of Borrower.

      SECTION 8.5 MONTHLY REPORTS.

      The Servicer shall prepare and forward to the Agent and each Lender Group
Agent (a) on each Monthly Reporting Date, a Monthly Report and an electronic
file of the data contained therein and (b) at such times as the Agent or a
Lender Group Agent shall reasonably request, (i) a listing by Obligor of all
Receivables together with an aging of such Receivables and (ii) other interim
reporting as may from time to time be reasonably requested by the Agent or a
Lender Group Agent.

      SECTION 8.6 SERVICING FEE.

      As compensation for the Servicer's servicing activities on their behalf,
the Lenders hereby agree to pay the Servicer the Servicing Fee, which fee shall
be paid in arrears on each Settlement Date.

      SECTION 8.7 SERVICER INDEMNITIES.

      (a)   Without limiting any other rights that the Agent or any Secured
Party may have hereunder or under applicable law, the Servicer hereby agrees to
indemnify (and pay upon demand to) each Indemnified Party for Indemnified
Amounts actually awarded against or incurred by any of them arising out of or as
a result of any Covered Servicing Matters (as defined below), excluding,
however:

            (i)   Indemnified Amounts to the extent a final judgment of a court
      of competent jurisdiction holds that such Indemnified Amounts resulted

      Party seeking indemnification;

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

            (iii) Indemnified Amounts to the extent the same includes losses in
      respect of Receivables that are late, delinquent or uncollectible on
      account of the insolvency, bankruptcy, payment history or lack of
      creditworthiness of the related Obligor; or

                                       28
<PAGE>

            (iv)  Indemnified Amounts to the extent the same arise as a result
      of the performance by the Servicer of its duties and obligations in
      accordance with the terms of this Agreement;

      provided, however, that nothing contained in this sentence shall limit the
liability of the Servicer for amounts otherwise specifically provided to be paid
by the Servicer under the terms of this Agreement.

      (b)   Subject in each case to clause (a)(i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above,
each of the following shall be a "Covered Servicing Matter":

            (i)   any representation or warranty made by any Servicer Party
      under or in connection with any Monthly Report, this Agreement, any other
      Transaction Document to which it is a party or that is delivered by it or
      any other information or report delivered by any Servicer Party pursuant
      hereto or thereto that shall have been false or incorrect when made or
      deemed made;

            (ii)  the failure by any Servicer Party to service, collect or

      any failure by any Servicer Party to have or maintain any license or other
      government authorization, to be qualified to do business in any
      jurisdiction or to file any notice of business activities or similar
      report in such jurisdiction);

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

            (iv)  any suit or other claim arising out of or in connection with
      the servicing, administration or collection of any Contract or any
      Receivable or Related Security;

            (v)   any dispute, claim, offset or defense (other than discharge in
      bankruptcy of the Obligor) of the Obligor to the payment of any Receivable

      Receivable;

            (vii) any Amortization Event described in Section 9.1(g);

            (viii) any breach by any Servicer Party of any term of this

      Originator or Servicer Party to maintain, all indebtedness and other

      standard required by Section 412 of the Tax Code or Section 302 of ERISA
      for any plan year or a waiver of such standard is sought or granted with
      respect to such Plan under Section 412 of the Tax Code or Section 303 of
      ERISA; or

            (ii)  is being, or within the five years preceding the Closing Date,

      ERISA Affiliates under applicable law, or Title IV ERISA, other than a
      liability for PBGC premiums due but not delinquent under Section 4007 of
      ERISA,

and there shall result from any such failure, waiver, termination or other event
a liability to the PBGC or a Plan that would have a Material Adverse Effect.

      (q) Any event shall occur which has, or could be reasonably expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect.

      SECTION 9.2 REMEDIES.

      Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Amortization Event,
the Agent may, or upon the direction of the Required Liquidity Banks shall, take
any of the following actions: (a) declare the Amortization Date to have
occurred, whereupon the Aggregate Commitment shall immediately terminate and the
Amortization Date shall forthwith occur, all without demand, protest or further
notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by each Loan Party;
provided, however, that upon the occurrence of an Event of Bankruptcy with
respect to any Loan Party, the Amortization Date shall automatically occur,
without demand, protest or any notice of any kind, all of which are hereby
expressly waived by each Loan Party and (b) exercise all rights and remedies of
a secured party upon default under the UCC and other applicable laws. The
aforementioned rights and remedies shall be without limitation, and shall be in
addition to all other rights and remedies of the Agent and the Lenders otherwise
available under any other provision of this Agreement, by operation of law, at
equity or otherwise, all of which are hereby expressly preserved, including,
without limitation, all rights and remedies provided under the UCC, all of which
rights shall be cumulative.

                                   ARTICLE X

                                 INDEMNIFICATION

      SECTION 10.1 INDEMNITIES BY THE LOAN PARTIES.

      Without limiting any other rights that the Agent or any Secured Party may
have hereunder or under applicable law, Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify (and
pay upon demand to) the Agent, each of the Secured Parties and each of the
respective assigns, officers, directors,

                                       33
<PAGE>

agents and employees of the foregoing (each, an "Indemnified Party") from and
against any and all actual damages, losses, claims, liabilities, costs, expenses
and for all other amounts payable (except any amounts payable with respect to
taxes, which shall be governed exclusively by Section 10.4), including
reasonable attorneys' fees (which attorneys may be employees of the Agent, any
Lender Group Agent or any Lender) and disbursements (all of the foregoing being
collectively referred to as "Indemnified Amounts") awarded against or incurred
by any of them arising out of or as a result of this Agreement or the grant to,
or acquisition by, the Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties of a
security interest in the Receivables, Related Security and Collections,
excluding, however, Indemnified Amounts to the extent a final judgment of a
court of competent jurisdiction holds that such Indemnified Amounts resulted
from gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Indemnified Party
seeking indemnification; provided, however, that nothing contained in this
sentence shall limit the liability of Borrower or limit the recourse of the
Lenders to Borrower for amounts otherwise specifically provided to be paid by
Borrower under the terms of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing indemnification (but subject to the foregoing and except to the
extent the Secured Parties have received payments or Borrower has adjusted the
Borrowing Base as contemplated by Section 1.4(a)), Borrower shall indemnify the
Indemnified Parties for Indemnified Amounts (including, without limitation,
losses in respect of uncollectible receivables, regardless of whether
reimbursement therefor would constitute recourse to Borrower) relating to or
resulting from:

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

                  (B)   the failure by Borrower to comply with any applicable
            law, rule or regulation with respect to any Receivable or Contract
            related thereto, or the nonconformity of any Receivable or Contract
            included therein with any such applicable law, rule or regulation or
            any failure of any Originator to keep or perform any of its
            obligations, express or implied, with respect to any Contract;

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

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

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

                                       34
<PAGE>

            from the sale of the merchandise or service related to such
            Receivable or the furnishing or failure to furnish such merchandise
            or services;

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

                        (G)   any investigation, litigation or proceeding
            related to or arising from this Agreement or any other Transaction
            Document, the transactions contemplated hereby, the use of the
            proceeds of any Advance, the Collateral or any other investigation,
            litigation or proceeding relating to Borrower in which any
            Indemnified Party becomes involved as a result of any of the
            transactions contemplated hereby;

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

                        (I)   any Amortization Event described in Section
            9.1(g);

                        (J)   any failure of Borrower to acquire and maintain
            legal and equitable title to, and ownership of any of the Collateral
            from the applicable Originator, free and clear of any Adverse Claim
            (other than as created hereunder); or any failure of Borrower to
            give reasonably equivalent value to any Originator under the
            Receivables Sale Agreement in consideration of the transfer by such
            Originator of any Receivable, or any attempt by any Person to void
            such transfer under statutory provisions or common law or equitable
            action;

                        (K)   any failure to vest and maintain vested in the
            Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, or to transfer to the
            Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a valid first priority
            perfected security interests in the Collateral, free and clear of
            any Adverse Claim (except as created by the Transaction Documents);

                        (L)   the failure to have filed, or any delay in filing,
            financing statements or other similar instruments or documents under
            the UCC of any applicable jurisdiction or other applicable laws with
            respect to any Collateral, and the proceeds thereof, whether at the
            time of any Advance or at any subsequent time;

                        (M)   any action or omission by any Loan Party which
            reduces or impairs the rights of the Agent or the Lenders with
            respect to any Collateral or the value of any Collateral;

                        (N)   any attempt by any Person to void any Advance or
            the Agent's security interest in the Collateral under statutory
            provisions or common law or equitable action;

                        (O)   the failure of any Receivable included in the
            calculation of the Net Pool Balance as an Eligible Receivable to be
            an Eligible Receivable; and

                                       35
<PAGE>

                        (P)   any Receivable arising under any Temporarily
            Eligible Municipal Contract.

      SECTION 10.2 INCREASED COST AND REDUCED RETURN.

      (a)   If after the date hereof, any Funding Source shall be charged any
fee, expense or increased cost on account of the adoption of any applicable law,
rule or regulation (including any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding
capital adequacy) or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or
administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable
agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or any
accounting board or authority (whether or not part of government) which is
responsible for the establishment or interpretation of national or international
accounting principles, in each case whether foreign or domestic or compliance
with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any
such authority, central bank or comparable agency (a "Regulatory Change"): (i)
that imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve, assessment, insurance
charge, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with
or for the account of a Funding Source, or credit extended by a Funding Source
pursuant to a Funding Agreement or (ii) that imposes any other condition the
result of which is to increase the cost to a Funding Source of performing its
obligations under a Funding Agreement, or to reduce the rate of return on a
Funding Source's capital as a consequence of its obligations under a Funding
Agreement, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by a
Funding Source under a Funding Agreement or to require any payment calculated by
reference to the amount of interests or loans held or interest received by it,
then, upon demand by the related Lender Group Agent, Borrower shall pay to such
Lender Group Agent, for the benefit of the relevant Funding Source, such amounts
charged to such Funding Source or such amounts to otherwise compensate such
Funding Source for such increased cost or such reduction. For avoidance of
doubt, any interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51 by the
Financial Accounting Standards Board shall constitute an adoption, change,
request or directive subject to this Section 10.2. Borrower's obligation to pay
any amounts with respect to taxes shall be governed exclusively by Section 10.4.

      (b)   If Borrower is obligated to pay any Funding Source under this
Section 10.2 then such Funding Source 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 Funding Source, such designation or
assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce the total amounts payable pursuant to
this Section 10.2 and Section 10.4, if any, in the future and (ii) would not
subject such Funding Source to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not
otherwise be disadvantageous to such Funding Source. Borrower hereby agrees to
pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Funding Source in
connection with any such designation or assignment.

      (c)   If Borrower is obligated to pay any Funding Source under this
Section 10.2 or if any Funding Source defaults in its obligation to fund Loans
hereunder, then Borrower may (provided no Amortization Event or Unmatured
Amortization Event has occurred), at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to
such Funding Source and the Agent and the related Funding Source Group Agent
require such Funding Source to assign and delegate, without recourse (in
accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Article XII), all
its interests, rights

                                       36
<PAGE>

and obligations under this Agreement to an Eligible Assignee acceptable to the
Lender Group Agent of the affected Funding Source Group that shall assume such
obligations (which assignee may be another Funding Source, if a Funding Source
accepts such assignment); provided that (i) Borrower shall have received the
prior written consents of the Agent and the related Lender Group Agent, which
consents shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Funding Source shall have
received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans
and participations, 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 Borrower (in the case of all other
amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a payment
under this Section 10.2, such assignment will result in a material reduction in
such payments. A Funding Source shall not be required to make any such
assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such
Funding Source or otherwise, the circumstances entitling Borrower to require
such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

      SECTION 10.3 OTHER COSTS AND EXPENSES.

      Borrower shall pay to the Agent and each Lender Group Agent on demand
all reasonable costs and out-of-pocket expenses in connection with the
preparation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement, the
transactions contemplated hereby and the other documents to be delivered
hereunder, including without limitation, the reasonable cost of any auditors
auditing the books, records and procedures of Borrower, reasonable fees and
out-of-pocket expenses of legal counsel for the Agent and for each Lender Group
Agent with respect thereto and with respect to advising the Agent and each
Lender Group Agent as to their respective rights and remedies under this
Agreement. Borrower shall pay to the Agent and each Lender Group Agent on demand
any and all costs and expenses of the Agent, such Lender Group Agent and the
Lenders, if any, including reasonable fees and expenses for one counsel in
connection with the enforcement of this Agreement against any of the Loan
Parties and the other documents delivered hereunder and in connection with any
restructuring or workout of this Agreement or such documents, or the
administration of this Agreement following an Amortization Event.

      SECTION 10.4 TAXES.

      (a)   Any and all payments by the Borrower hereunder or under any other
Transaction Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or
withholding for or on account of any and all present or future taxes, levies,
imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, additions to tax, interest,
penalties and all other liabilities with respect thereto imposed by the U.S.,
excluding (i) net income, franchise or similar taxes (including branch profits
taxes or alternative minimum tax) based on or measured by net income that are
imposed or levied on the Agent, any Conduit Lender, any Lender Group Agent, or
any Funding Source (each, a "Tax Indemnitee") as a result of a connection
between the Tax Indemnitee and the jurisdiction of the governmental authority
imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or
therein (other than any such connection arising solely from such Tax Indemnitee
having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment
under, or enforced by, this Agreement) and (ii) in the case of any Foreign Tax
Indemnitee, any taxes that are in effect and that would apply to a payment
hereunder or under any other Transaction Document made to such Foreign Tax
Indemnitee as of the date such Foreign Tax Indemnitee

                                       37
<PAGE>

becomes a party to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or in the
case of any other Tax Indemnitee which changes its lending office with respect
to any Loan to an office outside the United States, any taxes that are in effect
and would apply to a payment to such Tax Indemnitee as of the date of the change
of the lending office; provided, however, that if such change was solely at the
request of Borrower or required pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.2(b),
then this Section 10.4(a)(ii) shall not apply; provided, further, however, that
the computation of such Taxes and Other Taxes is consistent with the
characterization for federal income tax purposes of the acquisition by such Tax
Indemnitee of Loans as a loan or loans by such Tax Indemnitee to Borrower
secured by the Receivables, the Related Security, the Collection Accounts and
the Collections (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imports, deductions,
charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as "Taxes").
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term "Taxes" shall include, with respect to a
Foreign Tax Indemnitee that becomes a party to this Agreement as a result of an
assignment or a Tax Indemnitee that changes its lending office to an office
outside the U.S., taxes (or a portion thereof) that would have constituted Taxes
in the hands of the assigning (or transferring) Tax Indemnitee (or lending
office) under the preceding sentence as of the date of such assignment or change
in the lending office. If the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct or
withhold any Taxes from, or in respect of, any sum payable hereunder or under
any other Transaction Document to a Tax Indemnitee: (i) the sum payable
thereunder shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all
required deductions or withholdings (including deductions or withholdings
applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 10.4) the Tax
Indemnitee or any of its respective Affiliates receives an amount equal to the
sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made;
(ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions or withholdings; and (iii) the
Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant tax authority or
other authority in accordance with applicable laws.

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

      (c)   The Borrower will indemnify the Tax Indemnitees for the full amount
of Taxes or Other Taxes arising in connection with payments made under this
Agreement or any other Transaction Document paid by the Tax Indemnitees or any
of their respective Affiliates and any liability (including penalties, additions
to tax interest and other liabilities) arising therefrom or with respect
thereto. Payment under this indemnification shall be made within thirty days
from the date a Tax Indemnitee or any of its respective Affiliates makes written
demand therefor; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be obligated to
make payment to such Tax Indemnitee (as the case may be) pursuant to this
Section 10.4(c) in respect of penalties, interest and other liabilities
attributable to any Taxes or Other Taxes, if such penalties, interest and other
liabilities are attributable to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
such Tax Indemnitee or its Affiliates. After a Tax Indemnitee receives written
notice of the imposition of the Taxes or Other Taxes which are subject to this
Section 10.4, such Tax Indemnitee will act in good faith to promptly notify the
Borrower of its obligations hereunder.

                                       38
<PAGE>

      (d)   The Borrower will furnish to the Tax Indemnitees immediately after
payment of any Taxes original or certified copies of tax receipts evidencing
such payment by the Borrower or, if such receipts are not obtainable, other
evidence of such payments by the Borrower reasonably satisfactory to the Tax
Indemnitees.

      (e)   Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the
Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower contained in
this Section 10.4 shall survive the payment in full of all amounts due
hereunder.

      (f)   If the Borrower is required to pay additional amounts to or for the
account of any Tax Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 10.4 as a result of a
change in law or treaty occurring after such Tax Indemnitee first became a party
to this Agreement, then such Tax Indemnitee will, at the request of the
Borrower, either change the jurisdiction of its applicable lending office if
such change (i) will eliminate or reduce the total amounts payable pursuant to
Section 10.2 (if any) and Section 10.4 which may thereafter accrue and (ii) is,
in such Tax Indemnitee's sole, reasonable discretion, determined not to be
materially disadvantageous or cause unreasonable hardship to such Tax
Indemnitee, provided that fees, charges, costs or expenses that are related to
such change shall be borne by the Borrower on behalf of a Tax Indemnitee, and
the mere existence of such expenses, fees or costs shall not be deemed to be
materially disadvantageous or cause undue hardship to the Tax Indemnitee or
assign and delegate all its interests, rights and obligations under this
Agreement in the manner described in Section 10.2(c).

      (g)   Each Foreign Tax Indemnitee or any person receiving payments on its
behalf shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent, and if applicable, the
assigning Tax Indemnitee, on or before the date on which it becomes a party to
this Agreement:

            (i)   two duly completed and signed copies of either Internal
      Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (claiming an exemption from or a reduction in
      U.S. withholding tax under an applicable treaty) or its successor form or
      Form W-8ECI (claiming an exemption from U.S. withholding tax as
      effectively connected income) or its successor form and any related
      applicable forms, as the case may be;

            (ii)  in the case of a Foreign Tax Indemnitee that is not a "bank"
      within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Tax Code and that cannot
      comply with the requirements of clause (i) hereof, (x) a statement to the
      effect that such Tax Indemnitee is eligible for a complete exemption from
      withholding of U.S. Taxes under Tax Code Section 871(h) or 881(c), and (y)
      two duly completed and signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form
      W-8BEN or successor and related applicable form;

            (iii) if such Foreign Tax Indemnitee or any person receiving
      payments on its behalf is a "qualified intermediary" within the meaning of
      Treasury Regulation Section 1.1441-1(e)(5)(ii), two properly completed
      Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY and any related documents required in
      conjunction with such Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY before the
      payment of any amounts under this Agreement; or

            (iv)  if such Foreign Tax Indemnitee or any person receiving
      payments on behalf of a Foreign Tax Indemnitee is a "nonqualified
      intermediary" within the meaning

                                       39
<PAGE>

      of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1441-1(c)(14), two properly completed
      Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY and any related documents (including
      any forms described above) required in connection with such Internal
      Revenue Service Form W-8IMY before the payment of any amounts under this
      Agreement.

Further, each Foreign Tax Indemnitee agrees to deliver, following receipt of
written request therefor from Borrower, to the Borrower and the Agent, and if
applicable, the assigning Tax Indemnitee two further duly completed and signed
copies of the above referenced forms, or successor and related applicable forms,
on or before the date that any such form expires or becomes obsolete and
promptly after the occurrence of any event requiring a change from the most
recent form(s) previously delivered by it in accordance with applicable U.S.
laws and regulations and to deliver promptly to the Borrower and the Agent, and
if applicable, the assigning Tax Indemnitee, such additional statements and
forms as shall be reasonably requested by the Borrower from time to time unless,
in any such case, any change in law or regulation has occurred subsequent to the
date such Foreign Tax Indemnitee became a party to this Agreement which renders
all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Tax Indemnitee from
properly completing and executing any such form with respect to it and such Tax
Indemnitee promptly notifies the Borrower and the Agent if it is no longer able
to deliver, or if it is required to withdraw or cancel, any form or statement
previously delivered by it pursuant to this Section 10.4(g).

      (h)   The Borrower shall not be required to pay any Taxes or Other Taxes
pursuant to this Section 10.4 in respect of U.S. federal income taxes if the
obligation to withhold with respect to such Taxes or Other Taxes results from,
or would not have occurred but for, the failure of any Foreign Tax Indemnitee to
deliver the forms described in the preceding Section 10.4(g) in the manner and
at the times specified in such section; provided, however, that (i) the Borrower
shall be required to pay any Taxes or Other Taxes resulting from a change in law
(or interpretation thereof) that becomes effective after the date hereof and
(ii) should a Tax Indemnitee become subject to Taxes because of its failure to
deliver the forms required hereunder, Borrower shall, at the expense of such Tax
Indemnitee, take such steps as such Tax Indemnitee shall reasonably request to
assist such Tax Indemnitee to recover such Taxes. A Foreign Tax Indemnitee shall
not be required to deliver any form or statement pursuant to Section 10.4 that
such Foreign Tax Indemnitee is not legally able to deliver.

      (i)   If and to the extent that any Tax Indemnitee is able, in its
reasonable discretion, to apply or otherwise take advantage of any offsetting
tax credit or other similar tax benefit arising out of or in conjunction with
any deduction or withholding which gives rise to an obligation on the Borrower
to pay any Taxes or Other Taxes pursuant to this Section 10.4 then such Tax
Indemnitee shall, to the extent that in its sole opinion it can do so without
prejudice to the retention of the amount of such credit or benefit and without
any other adverse tax consequences for such Tax Indemnitee, reimburse to the
Borrower at such time as such tax credit or benefit shall have actually been
received by such Tax Indemnitee such amount as such Tax Indemnitee shall have
determined to be attributable to the relevant deduction or withholding and as
will leave such Tax Indemnitee in no better or worse position than it would have
been in if the payment of such Taxes or Other Taxes had not been required.
Nothing in this paragraph shall require any Tax Indemnitee to make available to
Borrower any tax return or information contained therein that such Tax
Indemnitee deems to be confidential or proprietary.

                                   THE AGENTS

      SECTION 11.1 AUTHORIZATION AND ACTION.

      (a)   Each Lender and each Lender Group Agent hereby designates and
appoints Wachovia to act as its agent under the Transaction Documents, and
authorizes the Agent to take such actions as agent on its behalf and to exercise
such powers as are delegated to the Agent by the terms of the Transaction
Documents, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The
Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set
forth in any Transaction Document, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender
or any Lender Group Agent, and no implied covenants, functions,
responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities on the part of the Agent

not assume nor shall be deemed to have assumed any obligation or relationship of
trust or agency with or for any Lender, any Lender Group Agent, any Loan Party
or any of such Loan Party's successors or assigns. The Agent shall not be
required to take any action that exposes the Agent to personal liability or that
is contrary to any Transaction Document or applicable law. The appointment and
authority of the Agent hereunder shall terminate upon the indefeasible payment
in full of all Obligations. Each Lender and each Lender Group Agent hereby
authorizes the Agent to file each of the UCC financing statements and each
Collection Account Agreement on behalf of such Lender and such Lender Group
Agent (the terms of which shall be binding on such Lender and Lender Group
Agent).

      (b)   Each Person in each Lender Group, on behalf of itself and its
assigns, hereby designates and appoints the Person identified as the Lender
Group Agent for such Lender Group in such Lender Group's Assignment Agreement to
act as its agent hereunder and under each other Transaction Document, and
authorizes such Lender Group Agent to take such actions as agent on its behalf
and to exercise such powers as are delegated to such Lender Group Agent by the
terms of the this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents together with
such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

      SECTION 11.2 DELEGATION OF DUTIES.

      (a)   The Agent may execute any of its duties hereunder and each
Transaction Document by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be
entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties.
The Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any
agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

      (b)   Each Lender Group Agent may execute any of its duties hereunder and
each Transaction Document by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be
entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties.
No Lender Group Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of
any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

      SECTION 11.3 EXCULPATORY PROVISIONS.

      Neither the Agent, any Lender Group Agent nor any of their respective
directors, officers, agents or employees shall be (a) liable for any action
lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with
this Agreement or any Transaction Document (except for its, their or such
Person's own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (b) responsible in any
manner to any of the Secured Parties for any recitals, statements,
representations or warranties made by any Loan Party contained in this
Agreement, any Transaction Document or any certificate, report, statement or
other document referred to or provided for in, or received hereunder or under or
in connection with, any Transaction Document or for the value, validity,
effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or
any Transaction Document or any other document furnished in connection herewith
or therewith, or for any failure of any Loan Party to perform its obligations
hereunder or under any Transaction Document, or for the satisfaction of any
condition specified in Article VI, or for the perfection, priority, condition,
value or sufficiency of any collateral pledged in connection herewith. Neither
the Agent nor any Lender Group Agent shall be under any obligation to any
Secured Party to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of
any of the agreements or covenants contained in, or conditions of, this
Agreement or any Transaction Document, or to inspect the properties, books or
records of the Loan Parties. Neither the Agent nor any Lender Group Agent shall
be deemed to have knowledge of any Amortization Event or Unmatured Amortization
Event unless it has received notice of such event.

      SECTION 11.4 RELIANCE.

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

      SECTION 11.5 NON-RELIANCE ON AGENT AND OTHER LENDERS.

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

      SECTION 11.6 REIMBURSEMENT AND INDEMNIFICATION.

      (a)   The Liquidity Banks agree to reimburse and indemnify the Agent and
its officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents ratably according
to their Pro Rata Shares, to the extent not paid or reimbursed by the Loan
Parties (i) for any amounts for which the Agent, acting in its capacity as
Agent, is entitled to reimbursement by the Loan Parties hereunder and (ii) for
any other expenses incurred by the Agent, in its capacity as Agent and acting on
behalf of the Lenders, in connection with the administration and enforcement of
the Liquidity Agreement and the Transaction Documents.

      (b)   The Liquidity Banks that are members of each Lender Group agree to
reimburse and indemnify the related Lender Group Agent and its officers,
directors, employees, representatives and agents ratably according to their Pro
Rata Shares, to the extent not paid or reimbursed by the Loan Parties (i) for
any amounts for which such Lender Group Agent, acting in its capacity as Lender
Group Agent, is entitled to reimbursement by the Loan Parties hereunder and (ii)
for any other expenses incurred by such Lender Group Agent, in its capacity as
Lender Group Agent and acting on behalf of the Lenders in such Lender Group, in
connection with the administration and enforcement of this Agreement and the
Transaction Documents.

      SECTION 11.7 INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY.

      The Agent, each Lender Group Agent and their respective Affiliates may
make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business
with Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower as though the Agent or such Lender
Group Agent were not the Agent or a Lender Group Agent hereunder. With respect
to the making of Loans pursuant to this Agreement, the Agent and each Lender
Group Agent shall have the same rights and powers under the Liquidity Agreement
for its Lender Group and this Agreement in its individual capacity as any Lender
and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent or Lender Group Agent,
as the case may be, and the terms "Liquidity Bank," "Lender," "Liquidity Banks"
and "Lenders" shall include the Agent and each Lender Group Agent, as
applicable, in its individual capacity.

                                       43

      SECTION 11.8 SUCCESSORS.

      The Agent and each Lender Group Agent, upon thirty (30) days' notice to
the Loan Parties and the Lenders, may voluntarily resign and may be removed at
any time, with or without cause, by the Required Liquidity Lenders (in the case
of the Agent) and by a Majority In Interest of the Liquidity Banks of the
related Lender Group (in the case of a Lender Group Agent); provided, however,
that Wachovia shall not voluntarily resign as the Agent so long as any of the
Liquidity Commitments remain in effect or Blue Ridge has any outstanding Loans.
If the Agent (other than Wachovia) shall voluntarily resign or be removed as
Agent under this Agreement, then the Required Liquidity Lenders, during such
five-day period, shall appoint, from among the remaining Liquidity Banks, a
successor Agent reasonably acceptable to Borrower (provided that Borrower's
consent shall not be required if any Amortization Event shall have occurred),
whereupon such successor Agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of
the Agent and the term "Agent" shall mean such successor agent, effective upon
its appointment, and the former Agent's rights, powers and duties as Agent shall
be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such
former Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement. If a Lender Group Agent
shall voluntarily resign or be removed as Lender Group Agent under this
Agreement, then a majority in interest of the Liquidity Banks that are members
of the related Lender Group, during such five-day period, shall appoint, from
among the remaining Liquidity Banks that are members of such Lender Group, a
successor Lender Group Agent reasonably acceptable to Borrower (provided that
Borrower's consent shall not be required if any Amortization Event shall have
occurred), whereupon such successor Lender Group Agent shall succeed to the
rights, powers and duties of the Lender Group Agent for such Lender Group and
the term "Lender Group Agent" shall mean such successor agent, effective upon
its appointment, and the former Lender Group Agent's rights, powers and duties
as Lender Group Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or
deed on the part of such former Lender Group Agent or any of the parties to this
Agreement. Upon resignation or replacement of the Agent in accordance with this
Section 11.8, the retiring Agent shall file or cause to be filed such UCC-3
assignments and amendments, and shall execute assignments and amendments of this
Agreement and the Transaction Documents, as may be necessary to give effect to
its replacement by a successor Agent. After the retiring Agent's Lender Group
Agent's resignation hereunder as Agent or as Lender Group Agent, as the case may
be, the provisions of this Article XI and Article X shall inure to its benefit
as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent or
Lender Group Agent, as the case may be, under this Agreement.

                                  ARTICLE XII

                           ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATIONS

      SECTION 12.1 ASSIGNMENTS.

      (a)   Each of the Agent, the Loan Parties, each of the Lender Group Agents
and the Liquidity Banks hereby agrees and consents to the complete or partial
assignment by a Conduit of all or any portion of its rights under, interest in,
title to and obligations under this Agreement to the Liquidity Banks that are
members of such Conduit's Lender Group pursuant to the related Liquidity
Agreement.

                                       44
<PAGE>

      (b)   Any Liquidity Bank may at any time and from time to time assign to
one or more Eligible Assignees (each, a "Purchasing Liquidity Bank") all or any
part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to an
assignment agreement substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit VII hereto
(an "Assignment Agreement") executed by such Purchasing Liquidity Bank and such
selling Liquidity Bank. The consent of the related Conduit shall be required
prior to the effectiveness of any such assignment. Each assignee of a Liquidity
Bank must (i) be an Eligible Assignee and (ii) agree to deliver to the Agent or
the related Lender Group Agent, promptly following any request therefor by the
Agent or such Lender Group Agent, an enforceability opinion in form and
substance satisfactory to the Agent and such Lender Group Agent. Upon delivery
of an executed Assignment Agreement to the Agent and the related Lender Group
Agent, such selling Liquidity Bank shall be released from its obligations
hereunder to the extent of such assignment. Thereafter the Purchasing Liquidity
Bank shall for all purposes be a Liquidity Bank party to this Agreement and
shall have all the rights and obligations of a Liquidity Bank hereunder to the
same extent as if it were an original party hereto and thereto and no further
consent or action by Borrower, the Lenders, the Lender Group Agents, any Loan
Party (except as set forth in Section 12.1(d)) or the Agent shall be required.

      (c)   Each of the Liquidity Banks agrees that in the event that it shall
suffer a Downgrading Event, such Downgraded Liquidity Bank shall, at the request
of the related Lender Group Agent, either (i) collateralize its Commitment in a
manner acceptable to the Agent and such Lender Group Agent, or (ii) subject to
Section 12.1(d), assign all of its rights and obligations hereunder to an
Eligible Assignee nominated by the related Lender Group Agent or by a Loan Party
(and acceptable to related Lender Group Agent) and willing to participate in
this Agreement through the Liquidity Termination Date in the place of such
Downgraded Liquidity Bank; provided that the Downgraded Liquidity Bank receives
payment in full, pursuant to an Assignment Agreement, of an amount equal to such
Liquidity Bank's Pro Rata Share of the Obligations owing to the Liquidity Banks
that are members of its Lender Group.

      (d)   No Loan Party may assign any of its rights or obligations under this
Agreement without the prior written consents of the Agent and each of the Lender
Group Agents and without satisfying any applicable Rating Agency Condition. No
Lender may assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without
the prior written consents of Borrower, provided, however Borrower's consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld and in any event, Borrower's consent shall
not be required for any such assignment to (i) any Affiliate of the Agent, any
Lender Group Agent or any Liquidity Bank, (ii) any Conduit administered by the
Agent or any Lender Group Agent or (iii) from and after the occurrence of any
Amortization Event.

      (e)   Each Lender Group Agent shall, on behalf of the Borrower, maintain a
copy of each Assignment Agreement delivered to and a register (each "Register")
for the recordation of the names and addresses of, and the principal amount of
the Loans owing to, the Lenders that are members of such Lender Group Agent's
Lender Group and the Commitments of each Liquidity Bank that is a member of such
Lender Group from time to time. The entries in each Register shall be
conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower, each Lender,
each Lender Group Agent and the Agent shall treat the person whose name is
recorded in a Register as the owner of the Loans described therein for all
purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding

                                       45
<PAGE>

anything to the contrary, any assignment of any Loan by a Lender shall be
effective only upon appropriate entries with respect thereto being made in a
Register.

      SECTION 12.2 PARTICIPATIONS.

      (a)   Any Liquidity Bank may, in the ordinary course of its business at
any time sell to one or more Persons (each, a "Participant") participating
interests in its Pro Rata Share of the Aggregate Commitment, its Loans or any
other interest of such Liquidity Bank hereunder. Notwithstanding any such sale
by a Liquidity Bank of a participating interest to a Participant, such Liquidity
Bank's rights and obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such
Liquidity Bank shall remain solely responsible for the performance of its
obligations hereunder, and the Loan Parties, the related Lender Group Agent and
the Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Liquidity Bank in
connection with such Liquidity Bank's rights and obligations under this
Agreement. Each Liquidity Bank agrees that any agreement between such Liquidity
Bank and any such Participant in respect of such participating interest shall
not restrict such Liquidity Bank's right to agree to any amendment, supplement,
waiver or modification to this Agreement.

      (b)   A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment
under Section 10.2 or 10.4 than the applicable Liquidity Bank would have been
entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant,
unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with Borrower's
prior written consent. In addition, a Participant that would be a Foreign Tax
Indemnitee if it were a Liquidity Bank shall not be entitled to the benefits of
Section 10.4 unless Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such
Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of Borrower, to comply
with Section 10.4(g) and 10.4(i) as though it were a Liquidity Bank.

                                  ARTICLE XIII

                                SECURITY INTEREST

      SECTION 13.1 GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST.

      To secure the due and punctual payment of the Obligations to the Secured
Parties, whether now or hereafter existing, due or to become due, direct or
indirect, or absolute or contingent, Borrower hereby grants to the Agent, for
the benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in all assets of
Borrower, including, without limitation, all of Borrower's right, title and
interest, whether now owned and existing or hereafter arising in and to all of
the Receivables, the Related Security, the Collections and all other assets of
Borrower and all proceeds of the foregoing (collectively, the "Collateral").

      SECTION 13.2 TERMINATION AFTER FINAL PAYOUT DATE.

      Upon the Final Payout Date, all right, title and interest of the Agent and
the other Secured Parties in and to the Collateral shall terminate.

                                  ARTICLE XIV

                                 MISCELLANEOUS

      SECTION 14.1 WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS.

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

      (b)   No provision of this Agreement may be amended, supplemented,
modified or waived except in writing in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 14.1(b). The parties hereto may enter into written modifications or
waivers of any provisions of this Agreement, and any material amendment, waiver
or other modification of this Agreement shall require satisfaction of the Rating
Agency Condition. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of the
unaffected Lender Group Agents and the members of such unaffected Lender Group,
but with the consent of Borrower, the Agent and a Lender Group Agent may amend
this Agreement solely to add additional Persons as Liquidity Banks hereunder for
such Lender Group Agent's Lender Group. Any modification or waiver made in
accordance with this Section 14.1 shall apply to each of the Lenders equally and
shall be binding upon Borrower, the Lenders and the Agent.

      SECTION 14.2 NOTICES.

      Except as provided in this Section 14.2, all communications and notices
provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including bank wire, telecopy or
electronic facsimile transmission or similar writing) and shall be given to the
other parties hereto at their respective addresses or telecopy numbers set forth
on the signature pages hereof or at such other address or telecopy number as
such Person may hereafter specify for the purpose of notice to each of the other
parties hereto. Each such notice or other communication shall be effective (a)
if given by telecopy, upon the receipt thereof, (b) if given by mail, three (3)
Business Days after the time such communication is deposited in the mail with
first class postage prepaid or (c) if given by any other means, when received at
the address specified in this Section 14.2. Borrower hereby authorizes each
Lender Group Agent to effect Advances and Interest Period and Interest Rate
selections based on telephonic notices made by any Person whom such Lender Group
Agent in good faith believes to be acting on behalf of Borrower. Borrower agrees
to deliver promptly to the related Lender Group Agent a written confirmation of
each telephonic notice signed by an authorized officer of Borrower; provided,
however, the absence of such confirmation shall not affect the validity of such
notice. If the written confirmation differs from the action taken by such Lender
Group Agent, the records of such Lender Group Agent shall govern absent manifest
error.

<PAGE>

      SECTION 14.3 RATABLE PAYMENTS.

      If any Lender, whether by setoff or otherwise, has payment made to it with
respect to any portion of the Obligations owing to such Lender (other than
payments received pursuant to Section 10.2, 10.3 or 10.4) in a greater
proportion than that received by any other Lender entitled to receive a ratable
share of such Obligations, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase
for cash without recourse or warranty a portion of such Obligations held by the
other Lenders so that after such purchase each Lender will hold its ratable
proportion of such Obligations; provided that if all or any portion of such
excess amount is thereafter recovered from such Lender, such purchase shall be
rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but
without interest.

      SECTION 14.4 PROTECTION OF AGENT'S SECURITY INTEREST.

      (a)   Borrower agrees that from time to time, at its expense, it will
promptly execute and deliver all instruments and documents, and take all
actions, that may be necessary or that the Agent may reasonably request, to
perfect, protect or more fully evidence the Agent's security interest in the
Collateral, or to enable the Agent or the Secured Parties to exercise and
enforce their rights and remedies hereunder. At any time after the occurrence of
an Amortization Event, the Agent may, or the Agent may direct Borrower or the
Servicer to, notify the Obligors of Receivables, at Borrower's expense, of the
ownership or security interest of the Agent for the benefit of the Secured
Parties under this Agreement and may also direct that payments of all amounts
due or that become due under any or all Receivables be made directly to the
Agent or its designee. Borrower or the Servicer (as applicable) shall, at any
Lender's request, withhold the identity of such Lender in any such notification.

      (b)   If any Loan Party fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder,
the Agent, any Lender Group Agent or any Lender may (but shall not be required
to) perform, or cause performance of, such obligations, and the Agent's, such
Lender Group Agent's or such Lender's costs and expenses incurred in connection
therewith shall be payable by Borrower as provided in Section 10.3. Borrower
hereby authorizes the Agent to file financing statements and other filing or
recording documents with respect to the Receivables, Related Security and
Collections (including any amendments thereto, or continuation or termination
statements thereof), without the signature or other authorization of such Loan
Party, in such form and in such offices as the Agent deems necessary to perfect
or maintain the perfection of the security interest of the Agent hereunder.
Borrower acknowledges and agrees that it is not authorized to, and will not,
file financing statements or other filing or recording documents with respect to
the Receivables, Related Security or Collections (including any amendments
thereto, or continuation or termination statements thereof), without the express
prior written approval by the Agent, consenting to the form and substance of
such filing or recording document. Borrower approves, authorizes and ratifies
any filings or recordings made by or on behalf of the Agent in connection with
the perfection of the security interests in favor of Borrower (with respect to
the interests acquired by Borrower under the Receivables Sale Agreement) or the
Agent.

      (c)   Borrower hereby authorizes the Agent to file all appropriate UCC
financing statements to protect, preserve and perfect the security interest of
the Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, granted hereunder by Borrower in
the Collateral.

      SECTION 14.5 CONFIDENTIALITY.

      (a)   Each Loan Party, each Lender Group Agent and each Lender shall hold
in confidence (in accordance with procedures it applies generally to information
of this kind) and shall cause each of its employees and officers to hold in
confidence all Confidential Information, except that such Loan Party, the Agent,
each Lender Group Agent and each Lender and their respective officers and
employees may disclose such Confidential Information to such Person's
accountants and attorneys and other professional advisors, the lenders under the
Senior Credit Agreement, rating agencies providing a rating of Allied's and any
of its Affiliate's debt obligations, each holder of such debt obligations and as
required by any law, rule, regulation, direction, request or order of any
judicial, administrative or regulatory authority or proceedings (whether or not
having the force of effect of law) and each party hereto (and each employee,
representative, or other agent of such party) may disclose to any and all
persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of
the transaction and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax
analyses) that are provided to such party relating to such tax treatment and tax
structure.

      (b)   Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Loan Party
hereby consents to the disclosure of any Confidential Information with respect
to it (i) to the Agent, each Lender Group Agent, the Liquidity Banks, the
Lenders or their respective Affiliates by each other, (ii) by the Agent, any
Lender Group Agent or any Lender to any prospective or actual assignee or
participant of any of them and (iii) by the Agent or any Lender Group Agent to
any rating agency assigning a rating to the debt obligations of a Conduit, any
commercial paper dealer for any Conduit's debt obligations, any Funding Source
and any entity organized for the purpose of purchasing, or making loans secured
by, financial assets for which any Lender Group Agent acts as agent and to any
officers, directors, employees, outside accountants and attorneys of any of the
foregoing, provided that each recipient of such nonpublic information is
informed of the confidential nature of such information. In addition, each
Lender, each Lender Group Agent and the Agent may disclose any such nonpublic
information pursuant to any law, rule, regulation, direction, request or order
of any judicial, administrative or regulatory authority or proceedings (whether
or not having the force or effect of law), provided that each recipient of such
nonpublic information is informed of the confidential nature of such
information.

      SECTION 14.6 BANKRUPTCY PETITION.

      Borrower, the Servicer, the Agent, each Lender Group Agent and each
Liquidity Bank hereby covenants and agrees that, prior to the date that is one
year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding senior
indebtedness of any Conduit, it will not institute against, or join any other
Person in instituting against, such Conduit any bankruptcy, reorganization,
arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or other similar proceeding
under the laws of the United States or any state of the United States.

      The Servicer, each Lender Group Agent, each Lender and the Agent (unless
instructed otherwise by the Required Liquidity Banks) hereby covenants and
agrees that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in
full of all outstanding Obligations of Borrower, it will not institute against,
or join any other Person in instituting against, Borrower any

                                       49
<PAGE>

bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings
or other similar proceeding under the laws of the United States or any state of
the United States.

      SECTION 14.7 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

      Except with respect to any claim arising out of the willful misconduct or
gross negligence of the Agent, any Lender Group Agent or any Lender, no claim
may be made by any Loan Party or any other Person against the Agent, any Lender
Group Agent or any Lender or their respective Affiliates, directors, officers,
employees, attorneys or agents for any special, indirect, consequential or
punitive damages in respect of any claim for breach of contract or any other
theory of liability arising out of or related to the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection
therewith; and each Loan Party hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue
upon any claim for any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not
known or suspected to exist in its favor.

                         FORM OF PERFORMANCE UNDERTAKING

      This Performance Undertaking (this "Undertaking"), dated as of March 7,
2003, is executed by ALLIED WASTE INDUSTRIES, INC., a Delaware corporation (the
"Performance Guarantor") in favor of ALLIED RECEIVABLES FUNDING INCORPORATED, a
Delaware corporation (together with its successors and assigns, "Recipient").

                                    RECITALS

      1.    Allied Waste North America, Inc. and the other originators party
thereto (collectively, the "Originators"), and Recipient have entered into a
Receivables Sale Agreement, dated as of March 7, 2003 (as amended, restated or
otherwise modified from time to time, the "Sale Agreement"), pursuant to which
Originators, subject to the terms and conditions contained therein, are selling
and/or contributing their respective right, title and interest in their accounts
receivable to Recipient.

      2.    Performance Guarantor directly or indirectly owns one hundred
percent (100%) of the capital stock of each of the Originators and Recipient,
and each of the Originators, and accordingly, Performance Guarantor, is expected
to receive substantial direct and indirect benefits from their sale or
contribution of receivables to Recipient pursuant to the Sale Agreement (which
benefits are hereby acknowledged).

      3.    As an inducement for Recipient to acquire Originators' accounts
receivable pursuant to the Sale Agreement, Performance Guarantor has agreed to
guaranty the due and punctual performance by Originators of their obligations
under the Sale Agreement as well as Allied Waste North America, Inc.'s Servicing
Related Obligations (as hereinafter defined).

      4.    Performance Guarantor wishes to guaranty the due and punctual
performance by Originators of their obligations to Recipient under or in respect
of the Sale Agreement, as provided herein.

                                    AGREEMENT

      NOW, THEREFORE, Performance Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:

      Section 1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used herein and not defined
herein shall the respective meanings assigned thereto in the Sale Agreement or
the Credit and Security Agreement (as hereinafter defined). In addition:

Guaranteed Obligations: Collectively: all covenants, agreements, terms,
conditions and indemnities to be performed and observed by any Originator under
and pursuant to the Sale Agreement and each other document executed and
delivered by any Originator pursuant to the Sale Agreement, including, without
limitation, the due and punctual payment of all sums which are or may become due
and owing by any Originator under the Sale Agreement, whether for

                                   Exh XI - 1
<PAGE>

fees, expenses (including counsel fees), indemnified amounts or otherwise,
whether upon any termination or for any other reason and (ii) all obligations of
Allied Waste North America, Inc. ("AWNA"), as Servicer under the Credit and
Security Agreement, dated as of March 7, 2003 by and among Recipient, as
Borrower, the Servicer Parties, as Servicer, Blue Ridge Asset Funding
Corporation, the Liquidity Banks time to time party thereto, the Lender Group
Agents from time to time party thereto and Wachovia Bank, National Association,
as Agent (as amended, restated or otherwise modified, the "Credit and Security
Agreement" and, together with the Sale Agreement, the "Agreements") (all such
obligations under this clause (ii), collectively, the "Servicing Related
Obligations")

      Section 2. Guaranty of Performance of Guaranteed Obligations. Performance
Guarantor hereby guarantees to Recipient, the full and punctual payment and
performance by each Originator and AWNA of their respective Guaranteed
Obligations. This Undertaking is an absolute, unconditional and continuing
guaranty of the full and punctual performance of all Guaranteed Obligations of
each Originator and AWNA under the Agreements and each other document executed
and delivered by any Originator or AWNA pursuant to the Agreements and is in no
way conditioned upon any requirement that Recipient first attempt to collect any
amounts owing by any Originator or AWNA to any other Person or resort to any
collateral security, any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books
of Recipient in favor of any Originator, AWNA or any other Person or other means
of obtaining payment. Should any Originator or AWNA default in the payment or
performance of any of its Guaranteed Obligations, Recipient (or its assigns) may
cause the immediate performance by Performance Guarantor of the Guaranteed
Obligations and cause any payment Guaranteed Obligations to become forthwith due
and payable to Recipient (or its assigns), without demand or notice of any
nature (other than as expressly provided herein), all of which are hereby
expressly waived by Performance Guarantor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this
Undertaking is not a guarantee of the collection of any of the Receivables and
Performance Guarantor shall not be responsible for any Guaranteed Obligations to
the extent the failure to perform such Guaranteed Obligations by any Originator
or AWNA results from Receivables being late, delinquent or uncollectible on
account of the insolvency, bankruptcy, payment behavior or lack of
creditworthiness of the related Obligor; provided that nothing herein shall
relieve any Originator or AWNA from performing in full its Guaranteed
Obligations under the Agreements or Performance Guarantor of its undertaking
hereunder with respect to the full performance of such duties.

      Section 3. Performance Guarantor's Further Agreements to Pay. Performance
Guarantor further agrees, as the principal obligor and not as a guarantor only,
to pay to Recipient (and its assigns), forthwith upon demand in funds
immediately available to Recipient, all reasonable costs and expenses (including
court costs and reasonable legal expenses) incurred or expended by Recipient in
connection with the Guaranteed Obligations, this Undertaking and the enforcement
thereof, together with interest on amounts recoverable under this Undertaking
from the time when such amounts become due until payment, at a rate of interest
(computed for the actual number of days elapsed based on a 360 day year) equal
to the Prime Rate plus 2% per annum, such rate of interest changing when and as
the Prime Rate changes.

      Section 4. Waivers by Performance Guarantor. Performance Guarantor waives
notice of acceptance of this Undertaking, notice of any action taken or omitted
by Recipient (or its assigns) in reliance on this Undertaking, and any
requirement that Recipient (or its assigns) be

                                   Exh XI - 2
<PAGE>

diligent or prompt in making demands under this Undertaking, giving notice of
any Termination Event, Amortization Event, other default or omission by any
Originator or asserting any other rights of Recipient under this Undertaking.
Performance Guarantor warrants that it has adequate means to obtain from each
Originator, on a continuing basis, information concerning the financial
condition of such Originator, and that it is not relying on Recipient to provide
such information, now or in the future. Performance Guarantor also irrevocably
waives all defenses (i) that at any time may be available in respect of the
Obligations by virtue of any statute of limitations, valuation, stay, moratorium
law or other similar law now or hereafter in effect or (ii) that arise under the
law of suretyship, including impairment of collateral. Recipient (and its
assigns) shall be at liberty, without giving notice to or obtaining the assent
of Performance Guarantor and without relieving Performance Guarantor of any
liability under this Undertaking, to deal with each Originator and AWNA and with
each other party who now is or after the date hereof becomes liable in any
manner for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, in such manner as Recipient in its
sole discretion deems fit, and to this end Performance Guarantor agrees that the
validity and enforceability of this Undertaking, including without limitation,
the provisions of Section 7 hereof, shall not be impaired or affected by any of
the following: (a) any extension, modification or renewal of, or indulgence with
respect to, or substitutions for, the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof
or any agreement relating thereto at any time; (b) any failure or omission to
enforce any right, power or remedy with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or
any part thereof or any agreement relating thereto, or any collateral securing
the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof; (c) any waiver of any right,
power or remedy or of any Termination Event, Amortization Event, or default with
respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof or any agreement
relating thereto; (d) any release, surrender, compromise, settlement, waiver,
subordination or modification, with or without consideration, of any other
obligation of any person or entity with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or
any part thereof; (e) the enforceability or validity of the Guaranteed
Obligations or any part thereof or the genuineness, enforceability or validity
of any agreement relating thereto or with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations
or any part thereof; (f) the application of amounts which are not covered by
this Undertaking even though Recipient (or its assigns) might lawfully have
elected to apply such payments to any part or all of the payment Obligations of
such Originator or AWNA or to amounts which are not covered by this Undertaking;
(g) the existence of any claim, setoff or other rights which Performance
Guarantor may have at any time against any Originator or AWNA in connection
herewith or any unrelated transaction; (h) any assignment or transfer of the
Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof; or (i) any failure on the part of
any Originator or AWNA to perform or comply with any term of the Agreements or
any other document executed in connection therewith or delivered thereunder, all
whether or not Performance Guarantor shall have had notice or knowledge of any
act or omission referred to in the foregoing clauses (a) through (i) of this
Section 4.

      Section 5. Unenforceability of Guaranteed Obligations Against Originators
or AWNA. Notwithstanding (a) any change of ownership of any Originator or AWNA
or the insolvency, bankruptcy or any other change in the legal status of any
Originator or AWNA; (b) the change in or the imposition of any law, decree,
regulation or other governmental act which does or might impair, delay or in any
way affect the validity, enforceability or the payment when due of the
Guaranteed Obligations; (c) the failure of any Originator, AWNA or Performance
Guarantor to maintain in full force, validity or effect or to obtain or renew
when required all governmental and other approvals, licenses or consents
required in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations or

                                   Exh XI - 3
<PAGE>

this Undertaking, or to take any other action required in connection with the
performance of all obligations pursuant to the Guaranteed Obligations or this
Undertaking; or (d) if any of the moneys included in the Guaranteed Obligations
have become irrecoverable from any Originator for any other reason other than
final payment in full of the payment Obligations in accordance with their terms,
this Undertaking shall nevertheless be binding on Performance Guarantor. This
Undertaking shall be in addition to any other guaranty or other security for the
Guaranteed Obligations, and it shall not be rendered unenforceable by the
invalidity of any such other guaranty or security. In the event that
acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is
stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Originator or
AWNA or for any other reason with respect to any Originator or AWNA, all such
amounts then due and owing with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations under the
terms of the Agreements, or any other agreement evidencing, securing or
otherwise executed in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations, shall be
immediately due and payable by Performance Guarantor.

      Section 6. Representations and Warranties. Performance Guarantor hereby
represents and warrants to Recipient that:

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

      (b)   Authorization, Execution and Delivery; Binding Effect. The execution
and delivery by Performance Guarantor of this Undertaking, and the performance
of its obligations hereunder, are within its corporate powers and authority and
have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on its part. This
Undertaking has been duly executed and delivered by Performance Guarantor. This
Undertaking constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Performance
Guarantor enforceable against Performance Guarantor in accordance with its
terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws relating to or limiting
creditors' rights generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of
whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).

      (c)   No Conflict; Government Consent. The execution and delivery by
Performance Guarantor of this Undertaking, and the performance of its
obligations hereunder do not contravene or violate (i) its certificate or
articles of incorporation or by-laws, (ii) any law, rule or regulation
applicable to it, (iii) any restrictions under any agreement, contract or
instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of its property is
bound, or (iv) any order, writ, judgment, award, injunction or decree binding on
or affecting it or its property, and do not result in the creation or imposition
of any Adverse Claim on its assets, except, in any case, where such
contravention or violation or Adverse Claim could not reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect.

                                   Exh XI - 4
<PAGE>
      (d)   Financial Statements. The consolidated financial statements of
Performance Guarantor and its consolidated Subsidiaries dated as of December 31,
2002 heretofore delivered to Recipient have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied and fairly present
in all material respects the consolidated financial condition and results of
operations of Performance Guarantor and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of such
dates and for the periods ended on such date. Since the later of (i) December
31, 2002 and (ii) the last time this representation was made or deemed made, no
event has occurred which would or could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.

      (e)   Taxes. Performance Guarantor has filed all United States federal tax
returns and all other tax returns which are required to be filed and have paid
all taxes due pursuant to said returns or pursuant to any assessment received by
Performance Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries, except such taxes, if any, as
are being contested in good faith and as to which adequate reserves have been
provided. The United States income tax returns of Performance Guarantor have
been audited by the Internal Revenue Service through the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2002. No federal or state tax liens have been filed and no claims
are being asserted with respect to any such taxes. The charges, accruals and
reserves on the books of Performance Guarantor in respect of any taxes or other
governmental charges are adequate.

      (f)   Litigation and Contingent Obligations. Except as disclosed in the
filings made by Performance Guarantor with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, there are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the best
of Performance Guarantor's knowledge, threatened against or affecting
Performance Guarantor or any of its properties, in or before any court,
arbitrator or other body, that could reasonably be expected to have a material
adverse effect on (i) the business, properties, condition (financial or
otherwise) or results of operations of Performance Guarantor and its
Subsidiaries taken as a whole, (ii) the ability of Performance Guarantor to
perform its obligations under this Undertaking, or (iii) the validity or
enforceability of any of this Undertaking or the rights or remedies of Recipient
hereunder. Performance Guarantor does not have any material Contingent
Obligations not provided for or disclosed in the financial statements referred
to in Section 6(d).

      Section 7. Subrogation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, until the Guaranteed Obligations are paid in full, Performance
Guarantor: (a) will not enforce or otherwise exercise any right of subrogation
to any of the rights of Recipient or any of its assignees against any
Originator, (b) hereby waives all rights of subrogation (whether contractual,
under Section 509 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code, at law or in equity or
otherwise) to the claims of Recipient or any of its assignees against any
Originator and/or AWNA and all contractual, statutory or legal or equitable
rights of contribution, reimbursement, indemnification and similar rights and
"claims" (as that term is defined in the United States Bankruptcy Code) which
Performance Guarantor might now have or hereafter acquire against any Originator
and/or AWNA that arise from the existence or performance of Performance
Guarantor's obligations hereunder, (c) will not claim any setoff, recoupment or
counterclaim against any Originator and/or AWNA in respect of any liability of
Performance Guarantor to such Originator and/or AWNA and (d) waives any benefit
of and any right to participate in any collateral security which may be held by
Recipient or any of its assigns. The provisions of this Section 7 shall be
supplemental to and not in derogation of any rights and remedies of Recipient
under any separate

                                   Exh XI - 5
<PAGE>

subordination agreement which Recipient may at any time and from time to time
enter into with Performance Guarantor.

      Section 8. Termination of Performance Undertaking. Performance Guarantor's
obligations hereunder shall continue in full force and effect until all
Obligations are finally paid and satisfied in full and the Credit and Security
Agreement is terminated, provided that this Undertaking shall continue to be
effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment or
other satisfaction of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must
otherwise be restored or returned upon the bankruptcy, insolvency, or
reorganization of any Originator or AWNA or otherwise, as though such payment
had not been made or other satisfaction occurred, whether or not Recipient (or
its assigns) is in possession of this Undertaking. No invalidity, irregularity
or unenforceability by reason of the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any insolvency
or other similar law, or any law or order of any government or agency thereof
purporting to reduce, amend or otherwise affect the Guaranteed Obligations shall
impair, affect, be a defense to or claim against the obligations of Performance
Guarantor under this Undertaking.

      Section 9. Effect of Bankruptcy. This Performance Undertaking shall
survive the insolvency of any Originator and/or AWNA and the commencement of any
case or proceeding by or against any Originator under the Federal Bankruptcy
Code or other federal, state or other applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or
reorganization statutes. No automatic stay under the Federal Bankruptcy Code
with respect to any Originator and/or AWNA or other federal, state or other
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization statutes to which any
Originator is subject shall postpone the obligations of Performance Guarantor
under this Undertaking.

      Section 10. Setoff. Regardless of the other means of obtaining payment of
any of the Guaranteed Obligations, Recipient (and its assigns) is hereby
authorized at any time and from time to time, without notice to Performance
Guarantor (any such notice being expressly waived by Performance Guarantor) and
to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any deposits and
other sums against the obligations of Performance Guarantor under this
Undertaking, whether or not Recipient (or any such assign) shall have made any
demand under this Undertaking and although such Obligations may be contingent or
unmatured.

      Section 11. Taxes. All payments to be made by Performance Guarantor
hereunder shall be made free and clear of any deduction or withholding. If
Performance Guarantor is required by law to make any deduction or withholding on
account of tax or otherwise from any such payment, the sum due from it in
respect of such payment shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure
that, after the making of such deduction or withholding, Recipient receive a net
sum equal to the sum which they would have received had no deduction or
withholding been made.

      Section 12. Further Assurances. Performance Guarantor agrees that it will
from time to time, at the request of Recipient (or its assigns), provide
information relating to the business and affairs of Performance Guarantor as
Recipient may reasonably request. Performance Guarantor also agrees to do all
such things and execute all such documents as Recipient (or its assigns) may
reasonably consider necessary to give full effect to this Undertaking and to
preserve the rights and powers of Recipient hereunder.

                                   Exh XI - 6
<PAGE>

      Section 13. Successors and Assigns. This Performance Undertaking shall be
binding upon Performance Guarantor, its successors and permitted assigns, and
shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Recipient and its successors
and assigns. Performance Guarantor may not assign or transfer any of its
obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each of Recipient and
the Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, Recipient
may assign or otherwise transfer the Agreements, any other documents executed in
connection therewith or delivered thereunder or any other agreement or note held
by them evidencing, securing or otherwise executed in connection with the
Guaranteed Obligations, or sell participations in any interest therein, to any
other entity or other person, and such other entity or other person shall
thereupon become vested, to the extent set forth in the agreement evidencing
such assignment, transfer or participation, with all the rights in respect
thereof granted to Recipient herein and Recipient hereby notifies Performance
Guarantor that, simultaneously herewith, Recipient is assigning all of its
right, title and interest, including, without limitation, its right to enforce
the obligations of Performance Guarantor hereunder, to the Agent.

      Section 14. Amendments and Waivers. No amendment or waiver of any
provision of this Undertaking nor consent to any departure by Performance
Guarantor therefrom shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and
signed by Recipient, the Agent and Performance Guarantor. No failure on the part
of Recipient to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall
operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any
right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise
of any other right.

      Section 15. Notices. All notices and other communications provided for
hereunder shall be made in writing and shall be addressed as follows: if to
Performance Guarantor, at the address set forth beneath its signature hereto,
and if to Recipient, at the addresses set forth beneath its signature hereto, or
at such other addresses as each of Performance Guarantor or any Recipient may
designate in writing to the other. Each such notice or other communication shall
be effective (1) if given by telecopy, upon the receipt thereof, (2) if given by
mail, three (3) Business Days after the time such communication is deposited in
the mail with first class postage prepaid or (3) if given by any other means,
when received at the address specified in this Section 15.

      Section 16. GOVERNING LAW. THIS UNDERTAKING SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS (AND NOT THE LAW OF CONFLICTS) OF THE STATE OF
NEW YORK.

      Section 17. CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. EACH OF PERFORMANCE GUARANTOR AND
RECIPIENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY
UNITED STATES FEDERAL OR NEW YORK STATE COURT SITTING IN THE BOROUGH OF
MANHATTAN IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS
UNDERTAKING, THE AGREEMENTS OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT EXECUTED IN CONNECTION
THEREWITH OR DELIVERED THEREUNDER AND EACH OF THE PERFORMANCE GUARANTOR AND
RECIPIENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF SUCH ACTION OR
PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN ANY SUCH COURT AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES
ANY OBJECTION IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE AS TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT,

                                   Exh XI - 7
<PAGE>

ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT OR THAT SUCH COURT IS AN
INCONVENIENT FORUM.

      Section 18. Bankruptcy Petition. Performance Guarantor hereby covenants
and agrees that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the
payment in full of all outstanding Indebtedness of Recipient, it will not
institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, Recipient
any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation
proceedings or other similar proceeding under the laws of the United States or
any state of the United States.

      Section 19. Miscellaneous. This Undertaking constitutes the entire
agreement of Performance Guarantor with respect to the matters set forth herein.
The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any
remedies provided by law or any other agreement, and this Undertaking shall be
in addition to any other guaranty of or collateral security for any of the
Guaranteed Obligations. The provisions of this Undertaking are severable, and in
any action or proceeding involving any state corporate law, or any state or
Federal Bankruptcy Code or any insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting
the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of Performance Guarantor
hereunder would otherwise be held or determined to be avoidable, invalid or
unenforceable on account of the amount of Performance Guarantor's liability
under this Undertaking, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this
Undertaking to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any
further action by Performance Guarantor or Recipient, be automatically limited
and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable as determined in
such action or proceeding. Any provisions of this Undertaking which are
prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction,
be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without
invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or
unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Unless otherwise
specified, references herein to "Section" shall mean a reference to sections of
this Undertaking.

            (a)   Each such Person is an entity duly organized, validly
      existing, and in good standing under the laws of the state of its
      formation.

            (b)   Each such Person has all requisite authority to conduct its
      business in each jurisdiction where failure to be so qualified would have
      a material adverse effect on such entity's business.

            (c)   The execution and delivery by each such Person of the
      Transaction Document to which it is a party and its performance of its
      obligations thereunder have been duly authorized by all necessary
      organizational action and proceedings on the part of such entity and will
      not:

                  (i)   require any action by or in respect of, or filing with,
            any governmental body, agency or official (other than the filing of
            UCC financing statements); or

                  (ii)  contravene, or constitute a default under, any provision
            of applicable law or regulation or of its articles or certificate of
            incorporation or bylaws or of any material agreement, judgment,
            injunction, order, decree or other instrument binding upon such
            Person.

            (d)   Each of the Transaction Documents to which each such Person is
      a party has been duly executed and delivered by such entity and
      constitutes the legally valid, and binding obligation of such entity
      enforceable in accordance with its terms, except to the

                                    Sch B - 2

      extent the enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or
      similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and
      subject also to the availability of equitable remedies if equitable
      remedies are sought.

            (e)   The provisions of the Credit and Security Agreement are
      effective to create valid security interests in favor of the Agent, for
      the benefit of the Secured Parties, in all of Borrower's right, title and
      interest in and to the Receivables and Related Security described therein
      which constitute "accounts," "chattel paper" or "general intangibles"
      (each as defined in the UCC) (collectively, the "Opinion Collateral"), as
      security for the payment of the Obligations.

            (f)   Each of the UCC-1 Financing Statements naming Borrower as
      debtor, and Agent, as secured party, to be filed in the filing offices, is
      in appropriate form for filing therein. Upon filing of such UCC-1
      Financing Statements in such filing offices and payment of the required
      filing fees, the security interest in favor of the Agent, for the benefit
      of the Secured Parties, in the Opinion Collateral will be perfected.

            (g)   The UCC search reports set forth the proper filing office and
      the proper debtor necessary to identify those persons who under the
      Delaware UCC have on file financing statements against Borrower covering
      the Opinion Collateral as of the date of such reports. Such search reports
      identify no secured party who has filed a financing statement naming
      Borrower as debtor, and describing the Opinion Collateral.

            (h)   No such Person is a "holding company" or a "subsidiary holding
      company" of a "holding company" within the meaning of the Public Utility
      Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended, or an "investment company" within
      the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

      5.    A Compliance Certificate of Borrower and of the Performance
Guarantor.

      6.    A Monthly Report as at the close of business on the last Business
Day of the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which the Initial
Funding Date occurs.

      7.    A pro forma balance sheet of Borrower as at the Business Day
immediately preceding the Initial Funding Date.

      8.    Executed copies of (i) all consents from and authorizations by any
Persons and (ii) all waivers and amendments to existing credit facilities, that
are necessary in connection with this Agreement.

      9.    If applicable, a direction letter executed by each of the Loan
Parties authorizing the Agent and Blue Ridge, and directing warehousemen to
allow the Agent and Blue Ridge to inspect and make copies from such Loan Party's
books and records maintained at off-site data processing or storage facilities.

defined below and amended hereby).

      WHEREAS, The parties hereto have entered into that certain Receivables
Sale Agreement, dated as of March 7, 2003 (as amended, restated, supplemented or
otherwise modified to the date hereof, the "Agreement");

      WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to amend the Agreement in certain
respects as hereinafter set forth;

      NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the other mutual
covenants contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

      SECTION 1. Amendments.

      The Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

            (a) The definition of "Receivable" is hereby amended by replacing
such definition in its entirety with the following:

            "Receivable: All indebtedness and other obligations owed to Borrower
            or any Originator (at the time it arises, and before giving effect
            to any transfer or conveyance under the Receivables Sale Agreement)
            or in which Borrower or an Originator has a security interest or
            other interest, including, without limitation, any indebtedness,
            obligation or interest constituting an account, chattel paper,
            instrument or general intangible, arising in connection with the
            sale of goods or the rendering of services by an Originator and all
            other obligations of each Obligor in respect thereto, and further
            includes, without limitation, the obligation to pay any Finance
            Charges and sales or use taxes with respect thereto; provided,
            however, that "Receivables" shall only include such indebtedness and
            other obligations that, on the date such indebtedness or other
            obligation arises, are maintained on either an Originator's (or the
            Servicer's) (i) "Commercial Management System", excluding the
            Excluded CMS Districts or (ii) "InfoPro System", excluding the
            Excluded InfoPro System Divisions and InfoPro System obligations
            with a class code of RESI. Indebtedness and other rights and

<PAGE>

            obligations arising from any one transaction, including, without
            limitation, indebtedness and other rights and obligations
            represented by an individual invoice, shall constitute a Receivable
            separate from a Receivable consisting of the indebtedness and other
            rights and obligations arising from any other transaction; provided
            further, that any indebtedness, rights or obligations referred to in
            the immediately preceding sentence shall be a Receivable regardless
            of whether the account debtor or Borrower treats such indebtedness,
            rights or obligations as a separate payment obligation."

            (b)   The following definitions are added in the appropriate
alphabetical order to Exhibit I to the Agreement:

                  (I) "Excluded CMS Districts: The Commercial Management System
                  Districts set forth on Schedule I to this Agreement, as such
                  schedule may be modified from time to time in writing by the
                  Borrower, each Originator, each Lender Group Agent and the
                  Agent."

                  (II) "Excluded InfoPro System Divisions: The InfoPro System
                  Divisions set forth on Schedule II to this Agreement, as such
                  schedule may be modified from time to time in writing by the
                  Borrower, each Originator, each Lender Group Agent and the
                  Agent."

            (c)   Section 1.4(b) is hereby amended and restated in its entirety
as follows:

                  "(b) any of the representations and warranties set forth in
            Section 2.1(i), Section 2.1(j), Section 2.1(r), Section 2.1(s),
            Section 2.1(t) and Section 2.1(u) are not true when made or deemed
            made with respect to any Receivable, other than the failure of such
            representation and warranty to be true from and after September 30,
            2004 to and including October 30, 2004 arising from the failure of
            an Originator to file or cause to be filed on or prior to October
            30, 2004 proper UCC termination statements necessary to release all
            security interests and other rights of any Person in the

                  B.

            (e)   Schedule C hereto is hereby added to the Agreement as Schedule
                  C.

            (f)   Schedule D hereto is hereby added to the Agreement as Schedule
                  D.
