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

ARTICLE I 
 
AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF THE PURCHASE
Section 1.1    Purchases of Receivables.
(a)    Agreement to Sell and Purchase. (i) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, each Originator may, at its option from time to time, sell, assign, transfer and convey to Buyer, without recourse (except to the extent expressly provided herein), and Buyer may, at its option, purchase from such Originator, all of Originator’s right, title and interest in, to and under certain Originated Receivables owned by such Originator, together, in each case, with all Related Security and Collections with respect thereto. In connection with the payment of the Purchase Price for any Receivables, Buyer may request that Originator selling such Receivables deliver, and such Originator shall deliver, such approvals, opinions, information, reports or documents as Buyer may reasonably request.
(i)    Not less than two Business Days prior to each date on which any Originator proposes to sell Originated Receivables to Buyer, such Originator shall deliver to Buyer (i) a notice that such Originator proposes to sell to Buyer, on the specified Purchase Date, Originated Receivables, and (ii) an executed Sale Assignment, to which shall be attached a schedule of the Originated Receivables to be sold on such Purchase Date, identified at least by contract number, Obligor and principal amount outstanding as of such Purchase Date or any other date identified in such Sale Assignment. Effective upon Buyer’s acceptance of such Sale Assignment, such Originator does hereby sell to Buyer without recourse (except to the extent expressly provided herein), and Buyer does hereby purchase or acquire, from such Originator, all of Originator’s right, title and interest in and to the Originated Receivables identified in such Sale Assignment. The schedule attached to the first Sale Assignment delivered pursuant to this Section 1.1(a)(ii) shall be deemed to be Schedule B to this Agreement (and this Agreement shall be deemed, automatically and without further action by any Person, supplemented and modified thereby) and each schedule attached to any Sale Assignment thereafter delivered pursuant to this Section 1.1(a)(ii) shall be deemed to amend and supplement Schedule B hereto. Buyer shall be obligated to pay the Purchase Price for the Receivables purchased hereunder in accordance with Section 1.2.
(b)    It is the intention of the parties hereto that each Purchase of Receivables made hereunder shall constitute a sale, which sale is absolute and irrevocable and provides Buyer with the full benefits of ownership of the Receivables. Except for the Purchase Price Credits owed pursuant to Section 1.3, each sale of Receivables hereunder is made without recourse to any Originator; provided, however, that (i) each Originator shall be liable to Buyer for all representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities made by such Originator pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Documents to which such Originator is a party, and (ii) such sale does not constitute and is not intended to result in an assumption 

by Buyer or any assignee thereof of any obligation of any Originator or any other Person arising in connection with the Receivables, the related Contracts and/or other Related Security or any other obligations of any Originator. In view of the intention of the parties hereto that the Purchases of Receivables made hereunder shall constitute sales of such Receivables rather than loans secured thereby, each Originator agrees that it will, on or prior to the date hereof and in accordance with Section 4.1(e)(ii), mark its master data processing records relating to the Receivables with a legend acceptable to Buyer and to the Agent (as Buyer’s assignee), evidencing that Buyer has purchased such Receivables as provided in this Agreement and to note in its financial statements that its Receivables have been sold to Buyer. Upon the request of Buyer or the Agent (as Buyer’s assignee), each Originator will execute and file such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto or assignments thereof, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or appropriate to perfect and maintain the perfection of Buyer’s ownership interest in the Receivables and the Related Security and Collections with respect thereto, or as Buyer or the Agent (as Buyer’s assignee) may reasonably request.
Section 1.2    Payment for the Purchase.
(a)    The Purchase Price for any Purchase of Receivables hereunder shall be payable in full by Buyer to the Originator of such Receivables in accordance with Section 1.2(b), and shall be paid to such Originator in the following manner:
(i)    by delivery of immediately available funds, to the extent of funds made available to Buyer in connection with its subsequent sale of an interest in such Receivables to the Purchasers under the Purchase Agreement or other cash on hand; and
(ii)    the balance, by delivery of the proceeds of a subordinated revolving loan from such Originator to Buyer (a “Subordinated Loan”) in an amount not to exceed the least of (A) the remaining unpaid portion of such Purchase Price, (B) the maximum Subordinated Loan that could be borrowed without rendering Buyer’s Net Worth less than the Required Capital Amount and (C) the maximum Subordinated Loan that could be borrowed without rendering the Net Value less than the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Subordinated Loans (including the Subordinated Loan proposed to be made on such date). Each Originator is hereby authorized by Buyer to endorse on the schedule attached to its Subordinated Note an appropriate notation evidencing the date and amount of each advance thereunder, as well as the date of each payment with respect thereto, provided that the failure to make such notation shall not affect any obligation of Buyer thereunder.
Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 1.2(a)(ii), each Originator irrevocably agrees to advance each Subordinated Loan requested by Buyer on or prior to the Termination Date. The Subordinated Loans shall be evidenced by, and shall be payable in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Subordinated Notes and shall be payable solely from funds which Buyer is not required under the Purchase Agreement to set aside for the benefit of, or otherwise pay over to, the Purchasers.

(b)    The Purchase Price for each Receivable purchased hereunder shall be due and payable in full by Buyer to the Originator of such Receivable on the Purchase Date for such Receivable, provided that settlement of the Purchase Price between Buyer and each Originator shall be effected on the next occurring Settlement Date (or, if the Purchase Date is a Settlement Date, on such Settlement Date). In addition, increases or decreases in the amount owing under the Subordinated Notes made pursuant to Section 1.2(a) shall be deemed to have occurred and shall be effective as of the next Settlement Date to occur after such increase or decrease.
Section 1.3    Purchase Price Credit Adjustments. If on any day:
(a)    the Outstanding Balance of a Receivable is:
(i)    reduced as a result of any defective or rejected or returned goods or services, any discount or any adjustment or otherwise by the Originator of such Receivable (other than cash Collections on account of the Receivables),
(ii)    reduced or canceled as a result of a setoff in respect of any claim by any Person (whether such claim arises out of the same or a related transaction or an unrelated transaction), or
(b)    any of the representations and warranties set forth in Article II are not true when made or deemed made with respect to any Receivable, or
(c)    the Related Equipment for any Receivable is Repossessed and sold for less than the fair market value of such Related Equipment,
then, in such event, Buyer shall be entitled to a credit (each, a “Purchase Price Credit”) against the Purchase Price otherwise payable hereunder to the Originator of such Receivable equal to (i) in the case of clause (a) above, the amount of such reduction or cancellation, (ii) in the case of clause (b) above, the Outstanding Balance of such Receivable and in the case of clause (c) above, the difference between the fair market value of the Repossessed Related Equipment and the gross proceeds received upon the sale of such Repossessed Related Equipment. If such Purchase Price Credit exceeds the Purchase Price on any day, then such Originator shall pay the remaining amount of such Purchase Price Credit in cash immediately, provided that if the Termination Date has not occurred, such Originator shall be allowed to deduct the remaining amount of such Purchase Price Credit from any indebtedness owed to it under such Originator’s Subordinated Note.
Section 1.4    Payments and Computations, Etc. All amounts to be paid or deposited by Buyer hereunder shall be paid or deposited in accordance with the terms hereof on the day when due in immediately available funds to the account of the applicable Originator as designated from time to time by such Originator or as otherwise directed by such Originator. In the event that any payment owed by any Person hereunder becomes due on a day that is not a Business Day, then such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day. If any Person fails to pay any amount hereunder when due, such Person agrees to pay, on demand, the Default Fee in respect thereof until 

paid in full; provided, however, that such Default Fee shall not at any time exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. All computations of interest payable hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first but excluding the last day) elapsed.

Section 1.5    Transfer of Records.
(a)    In connection with each Purchase of Receivables hereunder, each Originator hereby sells, transfers, assigns and otherwise conveys to Buyer all of such Originator’s right and title to and interest in the Records relating to all Receivables sold hereunder, without the need for any further documentation in connection with the Purchase. In connection with such transfer, each Originator hereby grants to each of Buyer, the Agent and the Servicer an irrevocable, non-exclusive license to use, without royalty or payment of any kind, all software used by such Originator to account for its Receivables, to the extent necessary to administer such Receivables, whether such software is owned by such Originator or is owned by others and used by such Originator under license agreements with respect thereto, provided that should the consent of any licensor of such software be required for the grant of the license described herein, to be effective, such Originator hereby agrees that upon the request of Buyer (or Buyer’s assignee), such Originator will use its reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of such third-party licensor. The license granted hereby shall be irrevocable until the indefeasible payment in full of the Aggregate Unpaids, and shall terminate on the date this Agreement terminates in accordance with its terms.
(b)    Each Originator (i) shall take such action requested by Buyer and/or the Agent (as Buyer’s assignee), from time to time hereafter, that may be necessary or appropriate to ensure that Buyer and its assigns under the Purchase Agreement have an enforceable ownership interest in the Records relating to the Receivables purchased from such Originator hereunder, and (ii) shall use its reasonable efforts to ensure that Buyer, the Agent and the Servicer each has an enforceable right (whether by license or sublicense or otherwise) to use all of the computer software used to account for the Receivables and/or to recreate such Records.
Section 1.6    Characterization. If, notwithstanding the intention of the parties expressed in Section 1.1(b), any sale by any Originator to Buyer of Receivables hereunder shall be characterized as a secured loan and not a sale or such sale shall for any reason be ineffective or unenforceable, then this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a security agreement under the UCC and other applicable law. For this purpose and without being in derogation of the parties’ intention that the sale of Receivables hereunder shall constitute a true sale thereof, each Originator hereby grants to Buyer a duly perfected security interest in all of such Originator’s right, title and interest in, to and under all Receivables now existing and hereafter arising, all Collections and Related Security with respect thereto, each Lock-Box, P.O. Box and Collection Account, all other rights and payments relating to such Originator’s Receivables and all proceeds of the foregoing to secure the prompt and complete payment of a loan deemed to have been made in an amount equal to the aggregate Purchase Price of the Receivables together with all other obligations of such Originator hereunder, which security interest shall be prior to all other Adverse Claims thereto. Buyer and its assigns shall have, in addition to the rights and remedies which they may have under this Agreement, all other rights and remedies provided to a secured creditor under the UCC and other applicable law, which rights and remedies shall be cumulative.

(o)    Ownership of Buyer. PDCo owns 100% of the issued and outstanding membership units of Buyer, free and clear of any Adverse Claim. Such membership units are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and there are no options, warrants or other rights to acquire securities of Buyer.
(p)    Not a Holding Company or an Investment Company. Such Originator is not a “holding company” or a “subsidiary holding company” of a “holding company” within the meaning of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended, 

or any successor statute. Such Originator is not and, after giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby, will not be required to be registered as, an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or any successor statute.
(q)    Compliance with Law. Such Originator has complied in all respects with all applicable laws, rules, regulations, orders, writs, judgments, injunctions, decrees or awards to which it may be subject, except where the failure to so comply could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Receivable, together with any Contract related thereto, does not contravene any laws, rules or regulations applicable thereto (including, without limitation, laws, rules and regulations relating to truth in lending, fair credit billing, fair credit reporting, equal credit opportunity, fair debt collection practices and privacy), and no part of such Contract is in violation of any such law, rule or regulation.
(r)    Compliance with Credit and Collection Policies. Such Originator has complied in all material respects with such Originator’s Credit and Collection Policy with regard to each Receivable and any related Contract, and has not made any material change to such Credit and Collection Policy, except such material change as to which Buyer (or its assigns) has been notified in accordance with Section 4.1(a)(vii).
(s)    Payments to Originator. With respect to each Receivable transferred to Buyer by such Originator hereunder, the Purchase Price received by such Originator constitutes reasonably equivalent value in consideration therefor and such transfer was not made for or on account of an antecedent debt. No transfer by such Originator of any Receivable hereunder is or may be voidable under any section of the Federal Bankruptcy Code.
(t)    Enforceability of Contracts. Each Contract with respect to each Receivable sold by such Originator hereunder 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 sold by such Originator hereunder and included at any time in the Net Portfolio Balance as an Eligible Receivable was, on its Purchase Date, an Eligible Receivable.
(v)    Accounting. The manner in which such Originator accounts for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement does not jeopardize the characterization of the transactions contemplated herein as being true sales.
(w)    No Adverse Selection. To the extent that such Originator has retained Originated Receivables that would be Eligible Receivables but which have not 

been transferred to Buyer hereunder, such Originator has not selected those Originated receivables to be transferred hereunder in any manner that materially adversely affects Buyer.

CONDITIONS OF PURCHASE
Section 3.1    Conditions Precedent to Purchase. The initial Purchase under this Agreement is subject to the conditions precedent that (a) Buyer shall have received on or before the date of such Purchase those documents listed on Schedule A and (b) all of the conditions precedent to the initial Incremental Purchase under the Purchase Agreement shall have been satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms thereof.
Section 3.2    Conditions Precedent to Subsequent Payments. Buyer’s obligation to pay for Receivables on any Purchase Date shall be subject to the further conditions precedent that (a) the Facility Termination Date shall not have occurred; (b) Buyer (or its assigns) shall have received the notice required pursuant to Section 1.1(a)(ii), an executed Sale Assignment and such other approvals, opinions or documents as it may reasonably request and (c) on the Purchase Date for such Receivables, the following statements shall be true (and acceptance of the proceeds by any Originator of any payment for such Receivable shall be deemed a representation and warranty by such Originator that such statements are then true):
(i)    the representations and warranties of such Originator set forth in Article II are true and correct on and as of such Purchase Date (and after giving effect to the Purchase consummated thereon) as though made on and as of such date; and

The failure of any Originator to satisfy any of the foregoing conditions precedent, however, shall give rise to a right of Buyer to rescind the related purchase and direct such Originator to pay to Buyer an amount equal to the Purchase Price that shall have been paid with respect to any Receivables related thereto.

enforceable against it in accordance with its terms), or any other claim resulting from the sale of the merchandise or service related to such Receivable or the furnishing or failure to furnish such merchandise or services;
(vi)    the commingling of Collections of Receivables of such Originator at any time with other funds;
(vii)    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 Purchase, the ownership of the Receivables of such Originator or any other investigation, litigation or proceeding relating to such Originator in which any Indemnified Party becomes involved as a result of any of the transactions contemplated hereby;

(ix)    any Termination Event described in Section 5.1(d);
(x)    any failure to vest and maintain vested in Buyer, or to transfer to Buyer, legal and equitable title to, and ownership of, the Receivables of such Originator and the Collections, and all of such Originator’s right, title and interest in the Related Security associated with the Receivables of such Originator, in each case, free and clear of any Adverse Claim;

(xv)    the Hedging Obligations.

Section 6.2    Other Costs and Expenses. Each Originator shall be jointly and severally liable for, and shall reimburse Buyer on demand for, all costs and out-of-pocket expenses in connection with the preparation, negotiation, arrangement, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby and the other documents to be delivered hereunder.

Section 7.10    Integration; Binding Effect; Survival of Terms.
(a)    This Agreement and each other Transaction Document contain the final and complete integration of all prior expressions by the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall constitute the entire agreement among the parties 

hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof superseding all prior oral or written understandings.
(b)    This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each Originator and Buyer, and their respective successors and permitted assigns (including any trustee in bankruptcy). No Originator may assign any of its rights and obligations hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of Buyer.

This Agreement shall create and constitute the continuing obligations of the parties hereto in accordance with its terms and shall remain in full force and effect until terminated in accordance with its terms; provided, however, that the rights and remedies with respect to (i) any breach of any representation and warranty made by the Originators pursuant to Article II; (ii) the indemnification and payment provisions of Article VI; and (iii) Section 7.5 shall be continuing and shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

Any provisions of this Agreement 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 expressly indicated, all references herein to “Article,” “Section,” “Schedule” or “Exhibit” shall mean articles and sections of, and schedules and exhibits to, this Agreement.
