Exhibit 10.2

SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY

     THIS SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY, dated as of September 22, 2008 (together with all amendments and
supplements hereto, this “Guaranty”), is made by LENNOX INDUSTRIES INC., an Iowa
corporation, ALLIED AIR ENTERPRISES INC., a Delaware corporation, SERVICE EXPERTS LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company, LENNOX GLOBAL LTD., a Delaware corporation, and each other Subsidiary of
Parent Guarantor which, pursuant to Section 5.3(d)(19) of the Participation Agreement, becomes a
“Guarantor” hereunder pursuant to a Subsidiary Joinder Agreement in the form of Exhibit A
hereto (a “Subsidiary Joinder Agreement”), on a joint and several basis (collectively,
together with their respective successors and assigns, “Guarantors” and each, individually,
a “Guarantor”), each having an address at 2140 Lake Park Boulevard., Richardson, TX 75080,
in favor of BTMU CAPITAL CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (together with its successors and
assigns, “Lessor”), having an address at 111 Huntington Avenue, Suite 400, Boston, MA
02199, and the INDEMNITEES, as such term is defined in the Lease (hereinafter defined) (Lessor and
each Indemnitee are each a “Guaranty Beneficiary” and, collectively, “Guaranty
Beneficiaries”). Terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in
Appendix A to the Lease.

Preliminary Statement

     Lessor entered into a Lease Agreement dated as of June 22, 2006 with Lennox Procurement
Company Inc., a Delaware corporation, as lessee (together with its successors and assigns, and
together with each other Lessee from time to time, collectively, “Lessee”) relating to the
Leased Property (such Lease Agreement, as supplemented or amended from time to time, together with
any Memorandum of Lease related thereto, herein called the “Lease”). Pursuant to the terms
of the Lease, Lessee has leased the Leased Property from Lessor for a term of years, as more
particularly set forth in the Lease. Pursuant to the terms of the Participation Agreement, Lessor
acquired the Land and Improvements and leased the same to Lessee, which has leased the same from
Lessor and otherwise agreed to perform certain obligations relating thereto, all as more
particularly set forth in the Lease and other Operative Documents.

     Lennox International Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent Guarantor”), is the owner,
directly or indirectly, of all of the issued and outstanding stock of Lessee. Parent Guarantor
executed and delivered that certain Guaranty dated as of June 22, 2006 (the “Parent
Guaranty”) in favor of the Guaranty Beneficiaries wherein it agreed to, among other things,
unconditionally and irrevocably guaranty the prompt payment and performance of all debts, duties
and obligations of Lessee under the Lease, the Participation Agreement and all other Operative
Documents. Parent Guarantor is the owner, directly or indirectly, of all of the issued and
outstanding stock of each Guarantor and, as a result, the Guarantors and Lessee are under common
control.

     Pursuant to that certain Assignment and Assumption Agreement dated as of the date hereof (the
“Assignment Agreement”), and other instruments, MHCB (USA) Leasing and Finance Corporation
(“MHCB”) assigned all of its rights and obligations as Lender and Administrative Agent under the
Operative Documents to Compass Bank (“Lender”), and Lender assumed such rights and
obligations.

 

 

     In connection with the Assignment Agreement, the Lessee and Parent Guarantor desire to amend
certain terms of the Operative Documents and the parties are simultaneously herewith executing and
delivering that certain First Omnibus Amendment to Operative Documents dated as of the date hereof
by and among Lessor, Parent Guarantor, Guarantors, Lessee and Lender (the “Omnibus
Amendment”).

     In order to induce Lessor and Lender to enter into the Omnibus Amendment, and to induce Lender
to assume all of the rights and obligations of MHCB under the Operative Documents pursuant to the
Assignment Agreement and other instruments, the Guarantors are entering into this Guaranty with
respect to the obligations of Lessee under the Lease and the other Operative Documents.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, each Guarantor agrees
as follows:

     1. Each Guarantor, jointly with the other Guarantors and severally, unconditionally and
irrevocably guaranties, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, to Guaranty Beneficiaries, the
prompt payment and performance of all debts, duties, liabilities and obligations of Lessee
(pecuniary or otherwise) including, without limitation, all obligations in respect of Rent, Lease
Balance, Purchase Amount, End of Term Adjustment, fees, expenses and indemnities, under the Lease,
the Participation Agreement and all other Operative Documents (all of the foregoing payment and
performance obligations, collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”) as and when the same
shall become due and payable and in the manner required of Lessee. This Guaranty is an
irrevocable, absolute, present, primary, continuing, unlimited and unconditional promise with
respect to the full and punctual payment and performance by Lessee of each of the Guaranteed
Obligations, and is not a promise of collectibility only, and is in no way conditional upon the
requirement that any Guaranty Beneficiary first attempt to collect payment or demand performance
from Lessee or that any Guaranty Beneficiary resort to any security or other means of obtaining
such payment or performance or upon any other contingency. If for any reason (i) any such sums
shall not be paid promptly by Lessee when due, or (ii) any such covenant, agreement, term or
condition is not performed or observed by Lessee in accordance with the Lease, the Participation
Agreement or any other Operative Document, each Guarantor, shall, without notice or demand of any
nature, pay the same by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds to the Person or
Persons entitled thereto pursuant to the provisions of said instruments and shall perform and
observe or cause to be promptly performed and observed every such covenant, agreement, term and
condition, in each case regardless of (i) any defenses or rights of set-off or counterclaims which
any Guarantor or Lessee may have or assert, other than the defense of payment and performance in
full of the Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) whether any Guaranty Beneficiary shall have taken any
steps to enforce any rights against Lessee or any other remedy thereunder as a result of the
default of Lessee thereunder and (iii) any other event, condition, contingency or circumstance
whatsoever. Each Guarantor also agrees to pay to such Persons such further amounts as shall be
sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collecting such sums or any part thereof, or of
otherwise enforcing or protecting the rights of such Persons under the Lease, the Participation
Agreement, the other Operative Documents and this Guaranty, including reasonable fees and expenses
of its attorneys and to Lessor and its attorneys for all services rendered in that connection and
in any related proceeding.

Notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Operative Document to the contrary, in any
action or proceeding involving any state corporate law, or any state or federal bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if, as a
result of applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, including
Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or any applicable provisions of comparable state law
(collectively, “Fraudulent Transfer Laws”), the obligations of any Guarantor under this
Section 1 would otherwise, after giving effect to (a) all other liabilities of such
Guarantor, contingent or otherwise, that are relevant under such Fraudulent Transfer Laws and
(b) the value as assets of such Guarantor (as determined under the applicable provisions of such
Fraudulent Transfer Laws) of any rights of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or
similar rights held by such Guarantor pursuant to (i) applicable requirements of law,
(ii) Section 5 hereof or (iii) any other contractual obligations providing for an equitable
allocation among such Guarantor and other Affiliates of the Lessee of obligations arising under
this Guaranty or other guaranties of the obligations by such parties, be held or determined to be
void, invalid or unenforceable, on account of its liability under this Section 1, then the amount
of such liability shall, without any further action by such Guarantor, any Guaranty Beneficiary, or
any other Person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and
enforceable as determined in such action or proceeding.

     2. The obligations, covenants, agreements and duties of each Guarantor under this Guaranty
shall be absolute and unconditional, shall not be subject to any counterclaim, setoff, deduction,
diminution, abatement, recoupment, suspension, deferment, reduction or defense based upon any claim
that any Guarantor or any other Person may have against Lessee, any Guaranty Beneficiary or any
other Person, and, until the payment or performance in full of the Guaranteed Obligations, shall
remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be released, discharged or in any
way affected by, any circumstance or condition whatsoever (whether or not any Guaranty Beneficiary,
any Guarantor or Lessee shall have any knowledge or notice thereof), including, without limitation,
the happening from time to time of any of the following, although without notice to, or the consent
of, any Guarantor:

	 	(a)	 	the waiver by any Guaranty Beneficiary of the performance or observance by

	 	(b)	 	the extension, in whole or in part, of the time for payment by Lessee, Parent

the Participation Agreement, this Guaranty or any other Operative Document or the
renewal or extension of either thereof;
	 
	 	(c)	 	any assignment or subsequent reassignment of the Lease, the Participation
Agreement, this Guaranty or any other Operative Document, in whole or in part, or the
leasing or subletting of the Leased Property or any part thereof;

3

 

	 	(d)	 	the modification or amendment (whether material or otherwise) of any of the
obligations of Lessee, Parent Guarantor or any Guarantor under the Lease, the

	 	(e)	 	the taking or the omission by Lessee of any of the acts referred to in the
Lease, the Participation Agreement, this Guaranty or any other Operative Document
(including, without limitation, any such acts or omissions to which Lessor or
Administrative Agent has given any consent referred to herein or therein);
	 
	 	(f)	 	any failure, omission or delay on the part of any Guaranty Beneficiary to
enforce, assert or exercise any right, power or remedy conferred on or available to
such Guaranty Beneficiary in or by the Lease, the Participation Agreement, any other
Operative Document, this Guaranty or any other instrument, or any action on the part of
any Guaranty Beneficiary granting indulgence or extension in any form whatsoever;
	 
	 	(g)	 	the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, sale of all or
substantially all of the assets, marshaling of assets and liabilities, receivership,

proceeding affecting, any Guaranty Beneficiary, Lessee, Parent Guarantor, any Guarantor
or any other Person or any of their respective assets;
	 
	 	(h)	 	the release of Lessee, Parent Guarantor or any Guarantor from the performance

or of this Guaranty, as applicable, or any invalidity or unenforceability of the Lease,

	 	(i)	 	any defect in the title, or any damage to or loss or destruction of, or any
interruption or cessation in the use of the Leased Property or any portion thereof by
Lessee for any reason whatsoever (including, without limitation, any governmental
prohibition or restriction, condemnation, requisition, or any other act on the part of
any governmental authority) regardless of the duration thereof (even though such
duration would otherwise constitute a frustration of the Lease, the Participation
Agreement or any other Operative Document, as the case may be), whether or not
resulting from accident and whether or not without fault on the part of Lessee or any
other Person;
	 
	 	(j)	 	the inability of any Guaranty Beneficiary to enforce any provision of the
Lease, the Participation Agreement or any other Operative Document against Lessee for
any reason including due to any invalidity thereof or claim thereof;

4

 

	 	(k)	 	any merger or consolidation of Lessee, Parent Guarantor or any Guarantor into
or with any other Person or any sale, lease or transfer of any of the assets of Lessee,
Parent Guarantor or any Guarantor to any other Person;
	 
	 	(l)	 	any change in the corporate relationship between any Guarantor, Parent
Guarantor and Lessee;
	 
	 	(m)	 	the acceptance and release by any Guaranty Beneficiary of any other security or
guarantor for any obligation hereunder;
	 
	 	(n)	 	any value, estimation, termination, rejection, discharge or disaffirmance by

of the Guaranteed Obligations in connection with any insolvency, bankruptcy,

	 	(o)	 	any determination or claim that any Guaranty Beneficiary’s claims against
Lessee are or may be limited by Section 502(b)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code, as amended,
or to any similar or successor provision of law upon any rejection of the Lease, the
Participation Agreement or any other Operative Document in a bankruptcy proceeding
filed by or against Lessee;
	 
	 	(p)	 	any failure (except to the extent by reason of a Lessor Lien) or
recharacterization of title with respect to any Guaranty Beneficiary’s, Lessee’s or any
other Person’s interest in the Leased Property or other property relative to the
Transaction; or
	 
	 	(q)	 	any other occurrence or circumstance whatsoever, whether similar or dissimilar
to the foregoing and any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a legal or
equitable defense or discharge of the liabilities of a guarantor or surety or that
might otherwise limit recourse against any Guarantor.

     The obligations of each Guarantor set forth herein constitute the full recourse obligations of
such Guarantor enforceable against such Guarantor to the full extent of all its assets and
properties. In no event shall the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder be subordinated in any
manner to any other full recourse obligations of such Guarantor.

     3. Each Guarantor unconditionally waives (i) notice of any of the matters referred to in
Section 2, (ii) all notices that may be required by statute, rule of law or otherwise, now or
hereafter in effect, to preserve intact any rights against such Guarantor, including, without
limitation, any demand, presentment and protest, proof of notice of non-payment under the Lease,
the Participation Agreement or any other Operative Document and notice of Default or Event of
Default under the Lease, the Participation Agreement, this Guaranty or any other Operative
Document, or any failure on the part of Lessee or any other party to perform and comply with any
covenant, agreement, term or condition of the Lease, the Participation Agreement or any other
Operative Document, (iii) any right to the enforcement, assertion or exercise against Lessee of any
right, power, privilege or remedy conferred in the Lease, the Participation Agreement, any other
Operative Document or otherwise, (iv) any requirement of diligence on the part of any Guaranty
Beneficiary or any other Person, (v) any requirement that

5

 

any Guaranty Beneficiary take any steps to enforce any rights against Lessee, the Parent
Guarantor or any other party under the Lease, the Participation Agreement, or any other Operative
Document or any other remedy thereunder or any other requirement to exhaust any remedies or to
mitigate the damages resulting from any Default or Event of Default under the Lease, the
Participation Agreement, any other Operative Document or this Guaranty, (vi) any notice of any
sale, transfer or other disposition of any right, title to or interest in the Lease, the
Participation Agreement or any other Operative Document or the Leased Property covered thereby by
any Guaranty Beneficiary, (vii) all rights and defenses of such Guarantor as a surety under the
laws of the states in which the Leased Property is located, as the same may be amended, and (viii)
any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge,
release or defense of a guarantor or surety, or that might otherwise limit recourse against such
Guarantor hereunder.

     4. In each case, until all of the Guaranteed Obligations are fully and finally paid and
performed, each Guarantor hereby waives (i) any claim, right or remedy that such Guarantor may now
or hereafter acquire against Lessee that arises hereunder and/or by reason of any one or more
payments or acts of performance by such Guarantor hereunder, including without limitation, any
claim, remedy or right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification or
participation in any claim, right or remedy of any Guaranty Beneficiary against Lessee or any
security that any Guaranty Beneficiary now has or hereafter acquires, whether or not such claim,
right or remedy arises in equity, under contract, by statute, under common law or otherwise,
(ii) any right to enforce any remedy which Lessee or any other guarantor of Lessee’s obligations
now has or may hereafter have against any Guaranty Beneficiary or its assigns, and (iii) any right
to enforce or exercise the benefit of and any right to participate in, any security now or
hereafter held by any Guaranty Beneficiary. If any amount shall nevertheless be paid to any
Guarantor by any such Person in violation of this Guaranty, such amount shall be held by such
Guarantor in trust for the benefit of Guaranty Beneficiaries and shall forthwith be paid to the
Guaranty Beneficiary to whom such amount is due. Each Guarantor further waives any defense to the
recovery by any Guaranty Beneficiary from such Guarantor of any deficiency or otherwise to the
enforcement of this Guaranty after a judicial or nonjudicial sale or other disposition of any
security for or any of the obligations of Lessee under the Lease, the Participation Agreement or
any other Operative Document even though such a sale may prevent such Guarantor from exercising
rights of subrogation, if any, contribution or reimbursement against Lessee or any other party. No
payment hereunder by any Guarantor shall give rise to any claim by such Guarantor against any
Guaranty Beneficiary, except for payments made in error by such Guarantor to the extent such
payments are in excess of amounts due hereunder. Unless and until all obligations of Lessee under
and pursuant to the Lease, the Participation Agreement and the other Operative Documents, and of
Guarantors hereunder, shall have been discharged by payment or performance in full, no Guarantor
shall assign or otherwise transfer any such claim against Lessee to any other Person.

     5. To the extent that any Guarantor shall be required hereunder to pay a portion of the
Guaranteed Obligations exceeding the amount such Guarantor would otherwise have paid if such
Guarantor had paid the aggregate amount of the Guaranteed Obligations in the same proportion as
such Guarantor’s Net Worth at the date enforcement is sought hereunder bears to the aggregate Net
Worth of all the Guarantors at the date enforcement is sought hereunder, then such Guarantor shall
be reimbursed by such other Guarantors for the amount of such excess, pro

6

 

rata, based on the respective Net Worths of such other Guarantors at the date enforcement
hereunder is sought. As used in this Section 5, the “Net Worth” of each Guarantor means,
at any time, the remainder of (i) the fair value of such Guarantor’s assets (other than any rights
to contribution), minus (ii) the fair value of such Guarantor’s liabilities (other than its
liabilities under its guaranty of the Guaranteed Obligations).

     6. The following events shall constitute Events of Default under this Guaranty:

          (i) Guarantors shall fail to pay or perform any Guaranteed Obligation pursuant to this
Guaranty upon demand therefor, or

          (ii) the occurrence of a Lease Event of Default;

then, in each such case, so long as the same shall be continuing, any Guaranty Beneficiary may, at
its option, declare this Guaranty in default, and at any time thereafter, any Guaranty Beneficiary
shall be entitled to exercise any remedy available to it at law or in equity. No express or
implied waiver by any Guaranty Beneficiary of an Event of Default hereunder shall in any way be, or
be construed to be a waiver of any further or subsequent Event of Default. Each Guarantor hereby
waives any right now or hereinafter conferred upon it by statute or otherwise which may limit or
modify any of any Guaranty Beneficiary’s rights and remedies contained herein. Each Guarantor
agrees to give written notice to Lessor and Administrative Agent (a) of any Event of Default
hereunder promptly after the occurrence thereof and (b) of any Event of Default hereunder, any
Event of Default under the Lease, or any breach or default of any provision of the Participation
Agreement or any other Operative Document, promptly after any Responsible Officer of such Guarantor
obtains Actual Knowledge of the occurrence thereof.

     7. Without in any way limiting or otherwise affecting its Guaranteed Obligations contained
herein, each Guarantor also agrees in the event of a Default or Event of Default under the Lease,
such Guarantor may and, in the event of the rejection or disaffirmation of the Lease by Lessee as
debtor in possession or Lessee’s trustee in bankruptcy pursuant to any Bankruptcy Law, shall and
does hereby (without the necessity of any further agreement or act), assume all obligations and
liabilities of Lessee under the Lease to the same extent as if it had been originally named instead
of Lessee as a party to such documents and there had been no such rejection or disaffirmance; and
such Guarantor shall confirm such assumption in writing at the request of any Guaranty Beneficiary
upon or after such rejection or disaffirmance. Such Guarantor, upon such assumption, will have all
rights and obligations of Lessee under the Lease. From and after the date of such assumption, as
provided in this Section 6, all provisions of this Guaranty shall continue in full force
and effect as separate and independent undertakings of such Guarantor, binding upon and enforceable
against such Guarantor without regard to the validity or enforceability of such assumption, and all
provisions of this Guaranty applicable to the Lease and to Guaranty Beneficiaries and Lessee in
respect of the Lease shall also apply to such assumption and to any Guaranty Beneficiaries and such
Guarantor in respect of such assumption to the same extent and in the same manner as such
provisions are applicable to the Lease and to Guaranty Beneficiaries and Lessee in respect of the
Lease.

     8. It is agreed that the liabilities and obligations of Guarantors hereunder are primary and
those of a principal, and are enforceable either before, simultaneously with or after

7

 

proceeding against Lessee or against any property or security available to any Guaranty
Beneficiary.

     9. Upon the satisfaction in full of the Guaranteed Obligations, this Guaranty shall terminate
(other than those provisions expressly stated to survive such termination) without delivery of any
instrument of performance of any act by any party. The Guaranty Beneficiaries will thereafter,
upon any Guarantor’s request and at such Guarantor’s expense, execute and deliver to such Guarantor
such documents as such Guarantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.

     10. This Guaranty may not be modified or amended except by a written agreement duly executed
by each Guarantor with the consent in writing of Lessor, Administrative Agent and each Lender in
accordance with Section 8.4 of the Participation Agreement. Neither this Guaranty, nor any of the
obligations of any Guarantor hereunder may be assigned to any Person or entity by any Guarantor.

     11. Each Guarantor understands and acknowledges that Lessor has and may enter into one or more
financings to finance or refinance the acquisition of the Leased Property pursuant to which Lessor
has and may encumber its interests in the Lease and Leased Property. In connection with any such
financing, each Guarantor understands and acknowledges that Lessor may assign its rights in and to
this Guaranty and each Guarantor hereby agrees that: (i) Lessor may assign its rights hereunder to
the Administrative Agent in connection therewith; (ii) in connection with any such assignment by
Lessor, such Guarantor will consent in writing thereto; and (iii) from and after such assignment,
the rights and benefits of Lessor hereunder shall inure to the benefit of, and be exercisable by
any assignee, pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of such assignment.

     12. Each Guarantor agrees that from time to time so long as this Guaranty is in effect (but
not more frequently than annually, except upon and after the occurrence of a Default or Event of
Default), it will promptly, but in no event later than fifteen (15) days after written request by
any Guaranty Beneficiary, or any assignee, execute, acknowledge and deliver to such party a
certificate stating: (i) that this Guaranty is unmodified and in full force and effect (or if there
have been modifications, that this Guaranty is in full force and effect as modified, and
identifying such modification agreements); (ii) whether or not there is an existing Default or
Event of Default hereunder and, if there is any such Default or Event of Default, specifying the
nature and extent thereof; and (iii) whether or not there are any setoffs, defenses or
counterclaims against enforcement of the obligations to be performed hereunder existing in favor of
Guarantor. Each Guarantor further agrees that it will upon fifteen (15) days prior notice from
Lessor execute and deliver to Lessor’s mortgagee a certificate stating the above.

8

 

     13. All agreements, representations and warranties contained herein or made in writing by
Guarantors shall survive the execution and delivery of this Guaranty.

     14. This Guaranty shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and
their respective successors and assigns.

     15. THIS GUARANTY SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY, THE
LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (INCLUDING FOR SUCH PURPOSE SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE GENERAL
OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK). THIS GUARANTY AND THE OTHER OPERATIVE DOCUMENTS
CONSTITUTE THE ENTIRE UNDERSTANDING AMONG THE PARTIES HERETO WITH RESPECT TO THE SUBJECT MATTER
HEREOF AND SUPERSEDE ANY PRIOR AGREEMENTS, WRITTEN OR ORAL, WITH RESPECT THERETO.

     ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS GUARANTY OR
ANY OTHER OPERATIVE DOCUMENT, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER ORAL
OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF ANY GUARANTOR SHALL BE BROUGHT AND MAINTAINED IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE
OF NEW YORK, NEW YORK COUNTY OR IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF
NEW YORK; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT ANY SUIT SEEKING ENFORCEMENT AGAINST ANY LEASED
PROPERTY MAY BE BROUGHT, AT THE OPTION OF THE PERSON ENFORCING THIS GUARANTY, IN THE COURTS OF ANY
JURISDICTION WHERE SUCH LEASED PROPERTY MAY BE FOUND. EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND
IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, NEW YORK COUNTY AND
OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK FOR THE PURPOSE OF ANY
SUCH LITIGATION AS SET FORTH ABOVE AND IRREVOCABLY AGREES TO BE BOUND BY ANY JUDGMENT RENDERED
THEREBY IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH LITIGATION. EACH GUARANTOR IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF
PROCESS BY REGISTERED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, OR BY PERSONAL SERVICE WITHIN OR WITHOUT THE STATE OF
NEW YORK. EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED
BY LAW, ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY HAVE OR HEREAFTER MAY HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUCH
LITIGATION BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT REFERRED TO ABOVE AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH LITIGATION HAS
BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY GUARANTOR HAS OR HEREAFTER MAY
ACQUIRE ANY IMMUNITY FROM JURISDICTION OF ANY COURT OR FROM ANY LEGAL PROCESS (WHETHER THROUGH
SERVICE OR NOTICE, ATTACHMENT PRIOR TO JUDGMENT, ATTACHMENT IN AID OF EXECUTION OR OTHERWISE) WITH
RESPECT TO ITSELF OR ITS PROPERTY, SUCH GUARANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES SUCH IMMUNITY IN
RESPECT OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS GUARANTY AND THE OTHER OPERATIVE DOCUMENTS.

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.

Agreement.

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

ARTICLE I

THE CREDIT

     Section 1.1. The Facility. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this
Agreement, the Borrower (or the Servicer on the Borrower’s behalf) may from time to time during the
Revolving Period request Advances by delivering a Borrowing Request to the Agent in accordance with
Section 2.1. Upon receipt of a copy of each Borrowing Request from the Borrower or Servicer, the
Agent shall advise the Borrower not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the Business Day
following such receipt whether YC SUSI and/or the Liquidity Banks will fund a Loan (or Loans) in
the aggregate amount of the requested Advance, and in the event that YC SUSI elects not to make any
such Loan to the Borrower, each of the Liquidity Banks severally agrees to make its Ratable Share
of such Loan to the Borrower, on the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, provided that at
no time may the aggregate principal amount of YC SUSI’s and the Liquidity Banks’ Loans at any one
time outstanding exceed the lesser of (i) the aggregate amount of the Liquidity Banks’ Commitments,
and (ii) the Borrowing Base (such lesser amount, the “Allocation Limit”). If the Agent advises the
Borrower that YC SUSI elects not to fund a Loan, the Borrower or Servicer may rescind the Borrowing
Request. Each Loan shall be in the minimum amount of $1,000,000 or a larger integral multiple of
$500,000. In no event may the aggregate principal amount of the Advances hereunder exceed the
lesser of (x) the Aggregate Commitment, or (y) the Borrowing Base. All Liquidity Banks’
Commitments shall terminate on the Termination Date. Each of the Loans, and all other Obligations
of the Borrower, shall be secured by the Collateral as provided in Article IX.

     Section 1.2. Funding Mechanics; Liquidity Fundings. (a) Each Advance hereunder shall consist
of Loans made from YC SUSI and/or the Liquidity Banks.

     (b) If a Liquidity Bank fails to transfer to the Agent its full Ratable Share of any Loan when
required by Section 1.1 (the aggregate amount not made available to the Agent by each

2

 

such Liquidity Bank being the “Unpaid Amount”), then, upon notice from the Agent by not later
than 1:15 p.m. (Chicago time), each Liquidity Bank not owing an Unpaid Amount shall transfer to the
Agent, by not later than 1:45 p.m. (Chicago time), an amount equal to the lesser of such Liquidity
Bank’s proportionate share (based on its Commitment divided by the Commitments of all Liquidity
Banks that have not so failed to pay their full Ratable Share) of the Unpaid Amount and its
Commitment. If the Agent does not then receive the Unpaid Amount in full, upon notice from the
Agent by not later than 2:00 p.m. (Chicago time) on such day, each Liquidity Bank that has not
failed to fund any part of its obligations on such day under this Section 1.2 shall pay to the
Agent, by not later than 2:30 p.m. (Chicago time), its proportionate share (determined as described
above) of the amount of such remaining deficiency up to the amount of its unused Commitment. Any
Liquidity Bank that fails to make a payment under this Section 1.2 on the date of a Liquidity
Funding shall pay on demand to each other Liquidity Bank that makes a payment under this subsection
(b) the amount paid by it to cover such failure, together with interest thereon, for each day from
the date such payment was made until the date such other Liquidity Bank has been paid such amount
in full, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus two percent (2%) per annum. In
addition, without prejudice to any other rights YC SUSI may have under applicable law, any
Liquidity Bank that has failed to transfer to the Agent under Section 1.1 its full Ratable Share of
any Loan shall pay on demand to YC SUSI the difference between such unpaid Ratable Share of such
Loan and the amount paid by other Liquidity Banks or the Agent to cover such failure, together with
interest thereon, for each day from the date such Ratable Share of such Loan was due until the date
paid, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus two percent (2%) per annum.

     (c) While it is the intent of YC SUSI to fund each requested Advance through the issuance of
Commercial Paper Notes, the parties acknowledge that if YC SUSI is unable, or determines that it is
undesirable, to issue Commercial Paper Notes to fund all or any portion of the Loans, or is unable
to repay such Commercial Paper Notes upon the maturity thereof, YC SUSI may put all or any portion
of its Loans to the Liquidity Banks at any time pursuant to the Liquidity Agreement to finance or
refinance the necessary portion of its Loans through a Liquidity Funding to the extent available.
The Liquidity Fundings may be Alternate Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans, or a combination
thereof, selected by the Borrower in accordance with Article II. Regardless of whether a Liquidity
Funding constitutes an assignment of a Loan or the sale of one or more participations therein, 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 directly made a Loan to the Borrower in the amount of
its Liquidity Funding.

     (d) Nothing herein shall be deemed to commit YC SUSI to make Loans. Nothing herein shall be
deemed to give the Borrower the right to select Eurodollar Loans or Alternate Base Rate Loans for
any Advance.

     Section 1.3. Interest Rates. (a) (i) Borrower shall pay CP Costs with respect to the
principal balance of YC SUSI’s Loans from time to time outstanding. Each Loan of YC SUSI that is
funded substantially with Pooled Commercial Paper will accrue CP Costs each day on a pro rata
basis, based upon the percentage share that the principal in respect of such Loan represents in
relation to all assets held by YC SUSI and funded substantially with related Pooled Commercial
Paper. The Agent will notify the Borrower promptly after the commencement of

3

 

any period during which CP Costs are calculated pursuant to the last sentence of the
definition thereof, and will attempt to give prior notice if reasonably practicable under the
circumstances.

     (ii) Not later than the third Business Day immediately preceding each Reporting Date,
YC SUSI shall calculate the aggregate amount of CP Costs applicable to its CP Rate Loans for
the Settlement Period then most recently ended and shall notify Borrower of such aggregate
amount.

     (b) Each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from
and including the first day of the Interest Period applicable thereto selected in accordance with
Article II of this Agreement to (but not including) the last day of such Interest Period at a rate
per annum equal to the sum of (i) the applicable Eurodollar Rate (Reserve Adjusted) for such
Interest Period plus (ii) the Bank Rate Spread.

     (c) Each Alternate Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount
thereof, for each day from and including the date such Loan is made to but excluding the date it is
paid at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate for such day. Changes in the rate of
interest on Alternate Base Rate Loans will take effect simultaneously with each change in the
Alternate Base Rate.

     (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Sections 1.3(a), (b) or (c), upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default, and during the continuance thereof, all Obligations shall
bear interest, payable upon demand, at the Default Rate.

     (e) Interest at any of the aforementioned rates shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on
the basis of a 360-day year. Interest shall be payable for the day a Loan is made but not for the
day of any payment on the amount paid if payment is received prior to noon (local time) at the
place of payment. If any payment of principal of or interest on a Loan shall become due on a day
which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and, in
the case of a principal payment, such extension of time shall be included in computing interest in
connection with such payment.

     Section 1.4. Payment Dates; Noteless Agreement. (a) On each Settlement Date, Borrower shall
pay to the Agent (for the benefit of YC SUSI) an aggregate amount equal to all accrued and unpaid
CP Costs (to the extent allocated to the Borrower in accordance with Section 1.3(a)(i)) in respect
of the principal associated with all CP Rate Loans for the Settlement Period then most recently
ended in accordance with Article II. The principal on each CP Rate Loan shall be payable on and
after the Termination Date as and when Collections are received.

     (b) The Borrower promises to pay each Eurodollar Loan on the last day of its Interest Period.

     (c) The Borrower promises to pay each Alternate Base Rate Loan, together with all accrued and
unpaid interest thereon, on or before the earlier to occur of (i) the Termination Date, and (ii)
refinancing of such Loan with a CP Rate Loan or a Eurodollar Loan.

     (d) The Borrower promises to pay all accrued and unpaid interest on each Loan (other than a CP
Rate Loan) on its applicable Interest Payment Date.

4

 

     (e) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts
evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such
Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such
Lender from time to time hereunder. Upon request of the Borrower or the Agent, such Lender will
confirm the outstanding principal balances of its Loans and the amount of any accrued and unpaid
interest thereon. The entries maintained in the accounts maintained pursuant to this Section shall
be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the Obligations therein recorded; provided,
however, that the failure of any Lender to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in
any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Obligations in accordance with their
terms.

     Section 1.5. Prepayments. Subject, in the case of CP Rate Loans and Eurodollar Loans, to the
funding indemnification provisions of Section 4.3:

     (a) The Borrower may from time to time prepay, without penalty or premium, all
outstanding Loans, or, in a minimum aggregate amount of $2,000,000 (or a larger integral
multiple of $1,000,000), any portion of the outstanding Loans upon two Business Days’ prior
written notice to the Agent (each, a “Prepayment Notice”), provided that each such
prepayment of principal is accompanied by a payment of all accrued and unpaid interest
thereon and is made ratably amongst the Lenders; it being understood that the Borrower, in
its discretion, may designate the outstanding Loans to which the Agent will apply each such
prepayment or portion thereof, subject to, in the case of CP Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans,
the funding indemnification provisions of Section 4.3 hereof;

     (b) If on any Business Day, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of YC SUSI’s
Loans and the Liquidity Fundings made by the Liquidity Banks exceeds the Allocation Limit,
the Borrower shall prepay such Loans, subject, in the case of CP Rate Loans and Eurodollar
Loans, to the funding indemnification provision of Section 4.3 but otherwise without premium
or penalty, by initiating a wire transfer to the Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York
City time) on the second Business Day thereafter in an amount sufficient to eliminate such
excess, together with interest accrued and to accrue on the amount prepaid; and

     (c) Upon receipt of any wire transfer pursuant to Section 1.5(b), the Agent shall
initiate a wire transfer to the Lenders of their respective shares thereof not later than
1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date when received.

     (d) Upon the occurrence of a Credit Event, the Agent shall have the right (x) to
declare that the Termination Date has occurred, whereupon the Aggregate Commitment shall
terminate and all Collections shall be allocated and distributed pursuant to Section 3.2(b)
hereof (the “Credit Event Amortization Option”) or (y) to require the Borrower to pay
additional interest of 2.0% per annum on the principal amount of any Loan (the “Additional
Interest Option”). Within ten (10) days of the occurrence of a Credit Event, the Borrower
will deliver a notice (the “Credit Event Amortization Notice”) to the Agent describing such
event. Promptly after the occurrence of the Credit Event, the Agent will elect the Credit
Event Amortization Option or the Additional Interest Option, and the Agent shall deliver a
notice (the “Credit Event

5

 

Election Notice”) to the Borrower informing the Borrower of such election. If the
Agent elects the Credit Event Amortization Option, then on the date of delivery of the
Credit Event Notice, the Agent shall allocate and distribute all Collections pursuant to
Section 3.2(b) and on the earlier of (A) the date of such distribution and (B) the date the
Borrower receives the Credit Event Election Notice, the Aggregate Commitment shall
automatically terminate. If the Agent elects the Additional Interest Option, then from the
date of the occurrence of such Credit Event, the Borrower shall pay interest on the
principal amount of any Loan at a rate per annum equal at all times to 2.0% per annum above
the rate per annum required to be paid on such Loan pursuant to Section 1.3.

     Section 1.6. Reductions in Aggregate Commitment. The Borrower may permanently reduce the
Aggregate Commitment in whole, or ratably in part, in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 (or a larger
integral multiple of $1,000,000), upon at least five (5) Business Days’ written notice to the Agent
(each, a “Commitment Reduction Notice”), provided, however, that (a) the amount of the Aggregate
Commitment may not be reduced below the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Advances, and
(b) the amount of the Aggregate Commitment may not be reduced below $5,000,000 unless the Aggregate
Commitment is terminated in full. All accrued and unpaid fees shall be payable on the effective
date of any termination of the Aggregate Commitment. Each Commitment Reduction Notice shall be
irrevocable once delivered to the Agent.

     Section 1.7. Requests for Increases in Aggregate Commitment. The Borrower may from time to
time request increases in the Aggregate Commitment in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 (or a larger
integral multiple of $1,000,000), upon at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the
Agent, which notice shall specify the amount of and proposed effective date for any such requested
increase (each, a “Commitment Increase Request”). If each of the Lenders agrees to the requested
increase by notifying the Agent and the Borrower in writing of their concurrence, such increase
shall be made to the Commitments of the Liquidity Banks, ratably in accordance with their
respective Ratable Shares as of the effective date specified in the Commitment Increase Request.
If less than all of the Lenders agree to such increase, the amount of the Aggregate Commitment
shall remain unchanged.

     Section 1.8. Extension of the Scheduled Termination Date. Provided that no Event of Default
exists and is continuing, the Borrower may request an extension of the Scheduled Termination Date
by submitting a request for an extension (each, an “Extension Request”) to the Agent no more than
sixty (60) days prior to the Scheduled Termination Date then in effect. The Extension Request must
specify the new Scheduled Termination Date requested by the Borrower and the date (which must be at
least thirty (30) days after the Extension Request is delivered to the Agent) as of which the
Agent, the Lenders and the Liquidity Banks must respond to the Extension Request (the “Response
Date”). The new Scheduled Termination Date shall be no more than 364 days after the Scheduled
Termination Date in effect at the time the Extension Request is received, including the Scheduled
Termination Date as one of the days in the calculation of the days elapsed. Promptly upon receipt
of an Extension Request, the Agent shall notify YC SUSI and the Liquidity Banks of the contents
thereof and shall request each such Person to approve the Extension Request. Each Lender and
Liquidity Bank approving the Extension Request shall deliver its written approval to the Agent no
later than the Response Date, whereupon the Agent shall notify the Borrower within one (1) Business
Day thereafter as

6

 

to whether all of the Lenders have approved the Extension Request. If all of the Lenders have
approved the Extension Request, the Scheduled Termination Date specified in the Extension Request
shall become effective on the existing Scheduled Termination Date, and the Agent shall promptly
notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the new Scheduled Termination Date. If all of the Lenders
do not unanimously agree to an Extension Request, the Scheduled Termination Date shall remain
unchanged.

     Section 1.9. Distribution of Certain Notices; Notification of Interest Rates. Promptly after
receipt thereof, the Agent will notify YC SUSI and the Liquidity Banks of the contents of each
Information Package, Borrowing Request, Extension Request, Commitment Reduction Notice, Prepayment
Notice, Commitment Increase Request or notice of default received by it from the Borrower or the
Servicer hereunder. In addition, the Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders and the Borrower of
each determination of and change in Interest Rates.

ARTICLE II

BORROWING AND PAYMENT MECHANICS; CERTAIN COMPUTATIONS

     Section 2.1. Method of Borrowing. The Borrower (or the Servicer on the Borrower’s behalf)
shall give the Agent irrevocable notice in the form of Exhibit 2.1 hereto (each, a “Borrowing
Request”) not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) at least two Business Days before the
Borrowing Date of each Advance. On each Borrowing Date, each Lender shall make available its Loan
or Loans in immediately available funds to the Agent by initiating a wire transfer in such amount
not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time). Subject to its receipt of such wire transfers, the
Agent will initiate a wire transfer of the funds so received from the Lenders to the Borrower at
the account specified in its Borrowing Request not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the
applicable Borrowing Date. Neither the Borrower, nor the Servicer on the Borrower’s behalf, may
deliver more than four (4) Borrowing Requests in any month.

     Section 2.2. Selection of Interest Periods for Eurodollar Loans. If the Borrower has been
informed by the Agent that CP Rate Loans are not available, prior to the occurrence of an Event of
Default, the Borrower or the Servicer in its Borrowing Request may request Interest Periods for
Eurodollar Loans from time to time to apply to each Lender’s Eurodollar Loans; provided, however,
that (i) at least one Interest Period shall mature on each Settlement Date, and (ii) no Interest
Period which began prior to the Scheduled Termination Date shall extend beyond the Scheduled
Termination Date.

     While the Agent will use reasonable efforts to accommodate the Borrower’s or the Servicer’s
requests for Interest Periods prior to an Event of Default, the Agent shall have the right to
subdivide any requested Eurodollar Loan into one or more Eurodollar Loans of different Interest
Periods, or, if the requested period is not feasible, to suggest an alternative Interest Period,
provided that not less than $1,000,000 of principal may be allocated to any Interest Period of any
Lender, and no Alternate Base Rate Loan may have a principal amount of less than $1,000,000.

     The Borrower (or the Servicer on the Borrower’s behalf) may not request an Interest Period for
a Eurodollar Loan unless it shall have given the Agent written notice of its desire

7

 

therefor not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) at least three (3) Business Days prior
to the first day of the desired Interest Period. Accordingly, all Liquidity Fundings shall
initially be Alternate Base Rate Loans.

     Unless the Agent shall have received written notice by 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the
third Business Day prior to the last day of an Interest Period that the Borrower intends to reduce
the aggregate principal amount of the Eurodollar Loans outstanding from the Liquidity Banks, each
of the Liquidity Banks shall be entitled to assume that the Borrower desires to refinance its
maturing Eurodollar Loans on the last day of such Interest Period with Eurodollar Loans with an
Interest Period of one (1) month.

     The Agent acknowledges and agrees that a Borrowing Request shall not be required in connection
with the refinancing on the last day of an Interest Period of maturing Eurodollar Loans.

     If the Agent or any Liquidity Bank determines (i) that maintenance of any Eurodollar Loan
would violate any applicable law or regulation, (ii) that deposits of a type and maturity
appropriate to match fund any of such Liquidity Bank’s Eurodollar Loans are not available or (iii)
that the maintenance of any Eurodollar Loans will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost of
such Liquidity Bank of funding Eurodollar Loans, then the Agent, upon the direction of such
Liquidity Bank, shall suspend the availability of future Eurodollar Loans until such time as the
Agent or applicable Liquidity Bank provides notice that the circumstances giving rise to such
suspension no longer exist, and, if required by any applicable law or regulation, terminate any
outstanding Eurodollar Loan so affected. All Loans allocated to any such terminated Eurodollar
Loan shall be reallocated to an Alternative Base Rate Loan.

     Section 2.3. Computation of Concentration Limits and Unpaid Balance. The Obligor
Concentration Limits and the aggregate Unpaid Balance of Receivables of each Obligor and its
Affiliated Obligors (if any) shall be calculated as if each such Obligor and its Affiliated
Obligors were one Obligor.

     Section 2.4. Maximum Interest Rate. No provision of this Agreement shall require the payment
or permit the collection of interest in excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law.

     Section 2.5. Payments and Computations, Etc. (a) Payments. The Borrower or the Servicer, as
the case may be, shall initiate a wire transfer of immediately available funds of all amounts to be
paid or deposited by the Borrower or the Servicer to the Agent or any of the Lenders (other than
amounts payable under Section 4.2) no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the day when
due in lawful money of the United States of America to the Agent at its address specified in
Schedule 14.2, and, to the extent such payment is for the account of a Lender, the Agent shall
promptly disburse such funds to the appropriate Lender.

     (b) Late Payments. To the extent permitted by law, upon demand, the Borrower or the Servicer,
as applicable, shall pay to the Agent for the account of each Person to whom payment of any
Obligation is due, interest on all amounts not paid or deposited by 2:00 p.m. (New York City time)
on the date when due (without taking into account any applicable grace

8

 

period) at the Default Rate as specified in Section 10.1(a), provided, however, that no such
interest rate shall at any time exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law.

     (c) Method of Computation. All computations of interest, Servicer’s Fee, any per annum fees
payable under Section 4.1 and any other per annum fees payable by the Borrower to the Lenders, the
Servicer or the Agent under the Loan Documents shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for
the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) elapsed.

     (d) Avoidance or Recission of Payments. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, no
payment of any Obligation shall be considered to have been paid if at any time such payment is
rescinded or must be returned for any reason.

     Section 2.6. Non-Receipt of Funds by the Agent. Unless a Lender notifies the Agent prior to
the date and time on which it is scheduled to fund a Loan that it does not intend to fund, the
Agent may assume that such funding will be made and may, but shall not be obligated to, make the
amount of such Loan available to the intended recipient in reliance upon such assumption. If such
Lender has not in fact funded its Loan proceeds to the Agent, the recipient of such payment shall,
on demand by the Agent, repay to the Agent the amount so made available together with interest
thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was so made
available by the Agent until the date the Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to
the Federal Funds Rate for such day.

ARTICLE III

SETTLEMENTS

     Section 3.1. Reporting. (a) Information Packages. On the 15th Business Day after each
Cut-Off Date hereafter (each, a “Reporting Date”), the Servicer shall deliver to the Agent, a
report in the form of Exhibit 3.1(a) (each, an “Information Package”) accompanied by an electronic
file in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Agent; provided, however, that if an Event of Default
shall exist and be continuing, the Agent may request that a computation of the Borrowing Base be
made more frequently than monthly but no more frequently than once per day.

     (b) Interest; Other Amounts Due. At or before 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the Business
Day before each Settlement Date, the Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Servicer of (i) the
aggregate principal balance of all Loans made by the Lenders that are then outstanding, and (ii)
the aggregate amount of all principal, interest and fees that will be due and payable by the
Borrower to the Agent for the account of the Agent or the Lenders on such Settlement Date.

     Section 3.2. Allocations and Distributions.

     (a) Revolving Period. On each day during the Revolving Period, the Servicer shall set aside
and hold in trust solely for the account of the Agent, for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders
(or deliver to the Collection Account as required pursuant to Section 7.1(i) hereof), the
Percentage Share of all Collections and Deemed Collections received on such day, to the extent
required for the payment of any accrued and unpaid Obligations (other than principal) on the

9

 

next Settlement Date or Interest Payment Date. If at any time Collections are received by the
Servicer during the Revolving Period, the Servicer shall (i) set aside such amounts as are required
pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence to satisfy all Obligations (including but not
limited to interest, fees, principal, increased costs or indemnification payments required
hereunder or under any other Transaction Document) and the Servicer’s Fee due or to become due as
of the next Settlement Date or Interest Payment Date, as applicable, and (ii) provided clause (i)
above has been satisfied, unless otherwise requested by the Borrower, apply the remaining
Collections to the purchase of additional Receivables from the Seller under and in accordance with
the Purchase and Sale Agreement. On each Settlement Date or Interest Payment Date, as applicable,
during the Revolving Period, the Servicer shall remit the amounts set aside above that have not
been used for the purchase of additional Receivables, first, to the Lenders in reduction of
the Obligations due and owing, and second, to the Servicer, for payment of the Servicer’s
Fee then due and owing.

     (b) Termination Date. On each day on and after the Termination Date, the Servicer shall set
aside and hold in trust solely for the account of the Agent, for the benefit of the Agent and the
Lenders (or delivered to the Collection Account as required pursuant to Section 7.1(i) hereof), the
Percentage Share of all Collections received on such day and such Collections shall be remitted as
follows on each Settlement Date, or if an Event of Default has occurred, on each other Business Day
specified by the Agent (provided the Servicer has been given two (2) Business Days’ prior notice
thereof):

     (i) first, to the Lenders (ratably, based on their Ratable Share) until all Loans of,
and interest due but not already paid to, the Lenders have been paid in full;

     (ii) second, to the Lenders until all other amounts owed to the Lenders have been paid
in full;

     (iii) third, to the Agent until all amounts owed to the Agent have been paid in full;

     (iv) fourth, to any other Person to whom any amounts are owed under the Transaction
Documents until all such amounts have been paid in full;

     (v) fifth, to the Servicer until all amounts owed to the Servicer under the Agreement
have been paid in full; and

     (vi) sixth, to the Borrower (or as otherwise required by applicable law).

     Section 3.3. Non-Distribution of Servicer’s Fee. Each of the Agent and the Secured Parties
hereby consents to the retention by the Servicer of a portion of the Percentage Share of the
Collections equal to the Servicer’s Fee (and, if applicable, any invoiced expenses of such Servicer
that are due and owing pursuant to Section 8.1(d)) so long as the Collections received by the
Servicer are sufficient to pay all amounts pursuant to Section 3.2 of a higher priority as
specified in such Section.

10

 

     Section 3.4. Deemed Collections. If on any day:

     (a) the Unpaid 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 Loan Party or any Affiliate
thereof, or as a result of any tariff or other governmental or regulatory action, or

     (b) the Unpaid 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

     (c) the Unpaid Balance of any Receivable is reduced on account of the obligation of any Loan
Party or any Affiliate thereof to pay to the related Obligor any rebate or refund, or

     (d) the Unpaid Balance of any Receivable is less than the amount included in calculating the
Net Pool Balance for purposes of any Information Package (for any reason other than such Receivable
becoming a Defaulted Receivable), or

     (e) any of the representations or warranties of the Borrower set forth in Section 6.1(j), (l)
or (p) were not true when made with respect to any Receivable, or any of the representations or
warranties of the Borrower set forth in Section 6.1(k) are no longer true with respect to any
Receivable, or any Receivable is repurchased by the Seller pursuant to the Purchase and Sale
Agreement,

then, on such day, the Borrower shall be deemed to have received a Collection of such Receivable
(1) in the case of clauses (a)-(d) above, in the amount of such reduction or cancellation or the
difference between the actual Unpaid Balance and the amount included in calculating such Net Pool
Balance, as applicable; and (2) in the case of clause (e) above, in the amount of the Unpaid
Balance of such Receivable.

ARTICLE IV

FEES AND YIELD PROTECTION

     Section 4.1. Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Agent and the Lenders certain fees from time
to time in amounts and payable on such dates as are set forth in the Fee Letter (including the
Facility Fees, the Program Fees and the Structuring Fee).

     Section 4.2. Yield Protection. If (i) a change to Regulation D or (ii) any Regulatory Change,
in either case, occurring after the date hereof:

     (a) shall subject an Affected Party to any tax, duty or other charge with respect to
its Obligations or, as applicable, its Commitment or its commitment under any Liquidity
Agreement, or shall change the basis of taxation of payments to the Affected Party of any
Obligations, owed to or funded in whole or in part by it or any other amounts due under this
Agreement in respect of its Obligations or, as applicable, its Commitment or its commitment
under any Liquidity Agreement except for (1) taxes based on, or measured by, net income, or
changes in the rate of tax on or determined by reference to the overall net income, of such
Affected Party, (2) franchise taxes, taxes on, or in the nature of, doing business taxes or
capital taxes, or (3) withholding taxes required

11

 

for payments made to any foreign entity which, at the time such foreign entity issues
its Commitment or Liquidity Commitment or becomes an assignee of a Lender hereunder, fails
to deliver to the Agent and the Borrower an accurate IRS Form W-8 BEN or W-8 ECI, as
applicable; or

     (b) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including, without limitation,
any reserve imposed by the Federal Reserve Board, but excluding any reserve included in the
determination of interest), special deposit or similar requirement against assets of any
Affected Party, deposits or obligations with or for the account of any Affected Party or
with or for the account of any affiliate (or entity deemed by the Federal Reserve Board to
be an affiliate) of any Affected Party, or credit extended by any Affected Party; or

     (c) shall affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by any
Affected Party; or

     (d) shall impose any other condition affecting any Obligation owned or funded in whole
or in part by any Affected Party, or its rights or obligations, if any, to make Loans or
Liquidity Fundings; or

     (e) shall change the rate for, or the manner in which the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (or a successor thereto) assesses deposit insurance premiums or similar charges;

and the result of any of the foregoing is or would be:

     (x) to increase the cost to or to impose a cost on (I) an Affected Party
funding or making or maintaining any Loan, any Liquidity Funding, or any commitment
of such Affected Party with respect to any of the foregoing, or (II) any Agent for
continuing its or the Borrower’s relationship with any Affected Party, in each case,
in an amount deemed to be material by such Affected Party,

     (y) to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by an Affected Party
under this Agreement or under the Liquidity Agreement, or

     (z) to reduce the rate of return on such Affected Party’s capital as a
consequence of its Commitment, its Liquidity Commitment or the Loans made by it to a
level below that which such Affected Party could have achieved but for the
occurrence of such circumstances,

then, within thirty (30) days after demand by such Affected Party (which demand shall be
accompanied by a certificate setting forth, in reasonable detail, the basis of such demand and the
methodology for calculating, and the calculation of, the amounts claimed by the Affected Party),
the Borrower shall pay directly to such Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as will
compensate such Affected Party for such actual additional cost, actual increased cost or actual
reduction.

12

 

     (f) Each Affected Party will promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent of any event of
which it has knowledge (including any future event that, in the judgment of such Affected
Party, is reasonably certain to occur) which will entitle such Affected Party to
compensation pursuant to this Section 4.2; provided, however, no failure to give or delay in
giving such notification shall adversely affect the rights of any Affected Party to such
compensation.

     (g) In determining any amount provided for or referred to in this Section 4.2, an
Affected Party may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods (consistent with its
ordinary business practices) that it (in its reasonable discretion) shall deem applicable.
Any Affected Party when making a claim under this Section 4.2 shall submit to the Borrower
the above-referenced certificate as to such actual increased cost or actual reduced return
(including calculation thereof in reasonable detail), which statement shall, in the absence
of demonstrable error, be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower.

     (h) Each of the Lenders agrees, and will require each Affected Party to agree that,
with reasonable promptness after an officer of such Lender or such Affected Party
responsible for administering the Transaction Documents becomes aware that it has become an
Affected Party under this Section 4.2, is entitled to receive payments under this Section
4.2, or is or has become subject to U.S. withholding taxes payable by any Loan Party in
respect of its investment hereunder, it will, to the extent not inconsistent with any
internal policy of such Person or any applicable legal or regulatory restriction, (i) use
all reasonable efforts to make, fund or maintain its commitment or investment hereunder
through another branch or office of such Affected Party, or (ii) take such other reasonable
measures, if, as a result thereof, the circumstances which would cause such Person to be an
Affected Party under this Section 4.2 would cease to exist, or the additional amounts which
would otherwise be required to be paid to such Person pursuant to this Section 4.2 would be
reduced, or such withholding taxes would be reduced, and if the making, funding or
maintaining of such commitment or investment through such other office or in accordance with
such other measures, as the case may be, would not otherwise adversely affect such
commitment or investment or the interests of such Person; provided that, such Person will
not be obligated to utilize such other lending office pursuant to this Section 4.2 unless
the Borrower agrees to pay all incremental expenses incurred by such Person as a result of
utilizing such other office as described in clause (i) above. For the avoidance of doubt,
any interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51 by the Financial Accounting
Standards Board which becomes applicable to the Liquidity Banks shall constitute a
Regulatory Change subject to this Section 4.2.

     Section 4.3. Funding Losses. In the event that any Lender shall actually incur any actual
loss or expense (including any actual loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or
reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to make any Loan or any Liquidity
Funding, as applicable, or maintain any Loan or Liquidity Funding, as applicable) as a result of
(i) any payment of principal with respect to such Lender’s Loan being made on any day other than a
Settlement Date or the scheduled last day of an applicable Interest Period with respect thereto, as
applicable (it being understood that the foregoing shall not apply to any Alternate Base Rate
Loans), or (ii) any Loan not being made in accordance with a request therefor under Section 2.1,
then, upon written notice from the Agent to the Borrower and the

13

 

Servicer, the Borrower shall pay to the Servicer and the Servicer shall pay to the Agent for
the account of such Lender the amount of such actual loss or expense. Such written notice (which
notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis to the loss or expense and shall include the
methodology for calculating, and the calculation of, the amount of such actual loss or expense, in
reasonable detail) shall, in the absence of demonstrable error or unreasonable assumption,
methodology or allocations, be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower and the Servicer.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless the Agent gives notice to the Borrower and the Servicer
that it is obligated to pay an amount pursuant to this Section 4.3 within one year after the date
the Lender obtained knowledge of the respective actual loss or expense, then such Lender shall only
be entitled to be compensated for such actual loss or expense as are incurred or suffered on or
after the date which occurs one year prior to the Agent giving notice to the Borrower and the
Servicer unless such loss or expense is incurred on a retroactive basis, in which case, such Lender
shall be entitled to be compensated for all loss and expense provided the Agent or such Lender
gives notice within one year from the date of such retroactive change. If the Borrower pays any
additional amount under this Section 4.3 to a Lender and such Lender determines that it has
actually received or realized in connection therewith any refund or any reduction of, or credit
against its tax liabilities in or with respect to the taxable year in which the additional amount
is paid (a “Tax Benefit”), such Lender shall pay to the Borrower an amount that such Lender shall
determine is equal to the net benefit, after tax, which was obtained by such Lender in such year as
a consequence of such Tax Benefit; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 4.3 shall
require any Lender to (i) seek a Tax Benefit or (ii) disclose any confidential information to the
Borrower or Servicer (including, without limitation, its tax returns).

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

     Section 6.1. Representations and Warranties of the Borrower and the Servicer. Each of the
Borrower and the Servicer represents and warrants as of the date hereof and as of the date of any

beneficial stockholder (other than through a mutual fund the investment decisions of which
are not controlled by such person), officer, director, employee, affiliate, associate,
material supplier or material customer of Performance Guarantor or any of its Affiliates
(other than an Affiliate organized with a limited purpose charter for the purpose of
acquiring receivables or other financial assets or intangible property). The organizational
documents of the Borrower shall provide that (i) at least one member of the Borrower’s board
of managers or other similar governing body shall be an Independent Manager, (ii) the
Borrower’s board of managers or other similar governing body shall not approve, or take any
other action to cause the filing of, a voluntary bankruptcy petition with respect to the

and the provision described in clauses (i)

27

the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof;

     (d) Any director, employee, consultant or agent of the Borrower will be compensated

(which servicer will be fully compensated for its services by payment of the Servicer’s Fee)
and any other agent contemplated by the Transaction Documents for the Collateral;

     (e) The Borrower will contract with the Servicer to perform for the Borrower all
operations required on a daily basis to service the Collateral. The Borrower will pay the
Servicer the Servicer’s Fee pursuant hereto. The Borrower will not incur any material
indirect or overhead expenses for items shared with Performance Guarantor (or any other
Affiliate thereof) which are not reflected in the Servicer’s Fee. To the extent, if any,
that the Borrower (or any other Affiliate thereof) shares items of expenses not reflected in
the Servicer’s Fee, for legal, auditing and other professional services and directors’ fees,
such expenses will be allocated to the extent practical on the basis of actual use or the
value of services rendered, and otherwise on a basis reasonably related to the actual use or
the value of services rendered, it being understood that Performance Guarantor shall pay all
expenses relating to the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of the Transaction
Documents, including, without limitation, legal, rating agency and other fees;

     (f) The Borrower’s operating expenses will not be paid by any other Loan Party or other
Affiliate of the Borrower;

     (g) The Borrower will have its own stationery;

     (h) The books of account, financial reports and corporate records of the Borrower will
be maintained separately from those of Performance Guarantor and each other Affiliate of the
Borrower;

     (i) Any financial statements of any Loan Party or Affiliate thereof which are
consolidated to include the Borrower will contain detailed notes clearly stating that (A)
all of the Borrower’s assets are owned by the Borrower, and (B) the Borrower is a separate
corporate entity with its own separate creditors that will be entitled to be satisfied out
of the Borrower’s assets prior to any value in the Borrower becoming available to the
Borrower’s equity holders; and the accounting records and the published financial statements
of the Seller will clearly show that, for accounting purposes, the Receivables and Related
Assets have been sold by the Seller to the Borrower;

     (j) The Borrower’s assets will be maintained in a manner that facilitates their
identification and segregation from those of the Servicer and the other Affiliates;

28

 

     (k) Each Affiliate of the Borrower will strictly observe corporate formalities in its
dealings with the Borrower, and, except as permitted pursuant to this Agreement with respect
to Collections, funds or other assets of the Borrower will not be commingled with those of
any of its Affiliates;

     (l) No Affiliate of the Borrower will maintain joint bank accounts with the Borrower or
other depository accounts with the Borrower to which any such Affiliate (other than in the
Borrower’s or such Affiliate’s existing or future capacity as the Servicer hereunder or
under the Purchase and Sale Agreement) has independent access, provided that prior to demand
by the Agent pursuant to Section 7.1(i) to establish a segregated Collection Account,
Collections may be deposited into general accounts of Performance Guarantor, subject to the
obligations of the Servicer hereunder;

     (m) No Affiliate of the Borrower shall, directly or indirectly, name the Borrower or
enter into any agreement to name the Borrower as a direct or contingent beneficiary or loss
payee on any insurance policy covering the property of any Affiliate of the Borrower;

     (n) Each Affiliate of the Borrower will maintain arm’s length relationships with the
Borrower, and each Affiliate of the Borrower that renders or otherwise furnishes services or
merchandise to the Borrower will be compensated by the Borrower at market rates for such
services or merchandise;

     (o) No Affiliate of the Borrower will be, nor will it hold itself out to be,
responsible for the debts of the Borrower or the decisions or actions in respect of the
daily business and affairs of the Borrower. Packaging Corporation of America and the
Borrower will immediately correct any known misrepresentation with respect to the foregoing
and they will not operate or purport to operate as an integrated single economic unit with
respect to each other or in their dealing with any other entity;

     (p) The Borrower will keep correct and complete books and records of account and
minutes of the meetings and other proceedings of its member(s) and board of managers, and
the resolutions, agreements and other instruments of the Borrower will be continuously
maintained as official records by the Borrower; and

     (q) Each of the Borrower, on the one hand, and the Seller and the Originator, on the
other hand, will conduct its business solely in its own corporate name and in such a
separate manner so as not to mislead others with whom they are dealing.

ARTICLE VIII

ADMINISTRATION AND COLLECTION

     Section 8.1. Designation of Servicer. (a) Seller as Initial Servicer. The servicing,
administering and collection of the Receivables shall be conducted by the Person designated as
Servicer hereunder from time to time in accordance with this Section 8.1. Until the Agent gives to
Seller a Successor Notice (as defined in Section 8.1(b)), Seller is hereby designated as, and
hereby agrees to perform the duties and obligations of, Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof.

29

 

     (b) Successor Notice; Servicer Transfer Events. Upon Seller’s receipt of a notice from the
Agent following a Servicer Transfer Event of the designation of a new Servicer (a “Successor
Notice”), Seller agrees that it will terminate its activities as Servicer hereunder in a manner
that will facilitate the transition of the performance of such activities to the new Servicer, and
the Agent (or the designee of the Agent) shall assume each and all of Seller’s obligations to
service and administer such Receivables, on the terms and subject to the conditions herein set
forth, and Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts to assist the Agent (or the Agent’s
designee) in assuming such obligations. Without limiting the foregoing, Seller agrees, at its
expense, to take all actions necessary to provide the new Servicer with access to all computer
software necessary to generate reports useful in collecting or billing Receivables, solely for use
in collecting and billing Receivables. If Seller disputes the occurrence of a Servicer Transfer
Event, Seller may take appropriate action to resolve such dispute; provided that Seller must
terminate its activities hereunder as Servicer and allow the newly designated Servicer to perform
such activities on the date specified by the Agent as described above, notwithstanding the
commencement or continuation of any proceeding to resolve the aforementioned dispute, if the Agent
reasonably determines, in good faith, that such termination is necessary or advisable to protect
the Secured Parties’ interests hereunder.

     (c) Subcontracts. So long as Seller is acting as the Servicer, it may subcontract with the
Originator for servicing, administering or collecting all or any portion of the Receivables,
provided, however, that no such subcontract shall relieve Seller of its primary liability for
performance of its duties as Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof and any such subservicing
arrangement may be terminated at the request of the Agent at any time after a Successor Notice has
been given. In addition to the foregoing, with the prior written consent of the Agent (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), any Servicer may subcontract with other
Persons for servicing, administering or collecting all or any portion of the Receivables, provided,
however, that no such subcontract shall relieve such Servicer of its primary liability for
performance of its duties as Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof and any such subservicing
arrangement may be terminated at the request of the Agent at any time that such Agent reasonably
determines that such subservicer is not performing adequately.

     (d) Expense Indemnity after a Servicer Transfer Event. In addition to, and not in lieu of the
Servicer’s Fee, if Seller or one of its Affiliates is replaced as Servicer following a Successor
Notice, the Borrower shall reimburse the Servicer within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of a
written invoice, any and all reasonable costs and expenses (based on then current market prices) of
the Servicer incurred in connection with its servicing of the Receivables for the benefit of the
Secured Parties.

     Section 8.2. Duties of Servicer.

     (a) Appointment; Duties in General. Each of the Borrower, the Lenders and the Agent hereby
appoints as its agent, the Servicer, as from time to time designated pursuant to Section 8.1, to
enforce its rights and interests in and under the Receivables, the Related Security and the related
Contracts. 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 and the terms of the Transaction Documents.

30

 

     (b) Segregation of Collections. The Servicer shall not be required (unless otherwise
requested by the Agent) to segregate the funds constituting the Collections prior to the remittance
thereof in accordance with Article III. If the Agent determines in its reasonable judgment that it
is necessary or desirable and so instructs the Servicer, the Servicer shall segregate and deposit
into the Collection Account Collections not later than the second Business Day following receipt by
the Servicer of such Collections in immediately available funds.

     (c) Modification of Receivables. Seller, while it is the Servicer, may, in accordance with
the Credit and Collection Policy, so long as no Event of Default and no Unmatured Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, extend the maturity as Seller may reasonably determine to be
appropriate to maximize Collections thereof or adjust the Unpaid Balance of any Receivable in a
manner consistent with the Credit and Collection Policy (although no such extension or adjustment
shall alter the status of such Receivable as a Defaulted Receivable or a Delinquent Receivable or,
in the case of an adjustment, limit the rights of the Agent or the Lenders under Section 3.4).

     (d) Documents and Records. The Borrower shall deliver to the Servicer, and the Servicer shall
hold in trust for the Borrower and the Secured Parties, all documents, instruments and records
(including, without limitation, computer tapes or disks) that evidence or relate to Receivables.

     (e) Certain Duties to the Borrower. The Servicer shall, as soon as practicable following
receipt, turn over to the Borrower (i) that portion of the Collections which are not required to be
turned over to the Agent, less the Servicer’s Fee, and, in the event that neither Seller nor any
other Loan Party or Affiliate thereof is the Servicer, all reasonable and appropriate out-of-pocket
costs and expenses of the Servicer of servicing, collecting and administering the Receivables to
the extent not covered by the Servicer’s Fee received by it, and (ii) the collections of any
receivable which is not a Receivable. The Servicer, if other than Seller or any other Loan Party
or Affiliate thereof, shall, as soon as practicable upon demand, deliver to the Borrower all
documents, instruments and records in its possession that evidence or relate to Receivables of the
Borrower, and copies of documents, instruments and records in its possession that evidence or
relate to Receivables.

     (f) Termination. The Servicer’s authorization under this Agreement shall terminate upon the
Final Payout Date.

     (g) Power of Attorney. The Borrower hereby grants to the Servicer an irrevocable power of
attorney, with full power of substitution, coupled with an interest, to take in the name of the
Borrower all steps which are necessary or advisable to endorse, negotiate or otherwise realize on
any writing or other right of any kind held or transmitted by the Borrower or transmitted or
received by Lender (whether or not from the Borrower) in connection with any Receivable.

31

 

     Section 8.3. Rights of the Agent.

     (a) Notice to Obligors. At any time when an Unmatured Default or Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, the Agent may notify the Obligors of Receivables, or any of them, of
its security interest, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in the Collateral.

     (b) Notice to Lock-Box Banks. At any time after the occurrence of an Unmatured Default or an
Event of Default, the Agent is hereby authorized to direct the Servicer, and the Servicer is hereby
authorized and directed to comply with such direction, to give notice to the Lock-Box Banks, as
provided in the Lock-Box Agreements, of the transfer to the Agent of dominion and control over the
Lock-Boxes and related Lock-Box Accounts to which the Obligors of Receivables make payments. The
Borrower and the Servicer hereby transfer to the Agent, effective when the Agent shall give notice
to the Lock-Box Banks as provided in the Lock-Box Agreements, the exclusive dominion and control
over such Lock-Boxes and Lock-Box Accounts, and shall take any further action that the Agent may
reasonably request to effect such transfer.

     (c) Rights on Servicer Transfer Event. At any time following the designation of a Servicer
other than Initial Servicer pursuant to Section 8.1:

     (i) The Agent may direct the Obligors of Receivables, or any of them, to pay all
amounts payable under any Receivable directly to the Agent or its designee.

     (ii) The Borrower shall, at the Agent’s request and at the Borrower’s expense, give
notice of the Agent’s security interest in the Collateral to each Obligor of Receivables and
direct that payments be made directly to the Agent or its designee.

     (iii) The Borrower shall, at the Agent’s request: (A) assemble all of the documents,
instruments and other records (including, without limitation, computer programs, tapes and
disks) which evidence the Collateral, or which are otherwise necessary or desirable to
collect the Collateral, and make the same available to the successor Servicer at a place
selected by the Agent, and (B) segregate all cash, checks and other instruments received by
it from time to time constituting Collections in a manner acceptable to the Agent and
promptly upon receipt, remit all such cash, checks and instruments, duly endorsed or with
duly executed instruments of transfer, to the successor Servicer.

     (iv) The Borrower and the Lenders hereby authorize the Agent and grant to the Agent an
irrevocable power of attorney (which shall terminate on the Final Payout Date), to take any
and all steps in such Person’s name and on behalf of such Person which are necessary or
desirable, in the determination of the Agent, to collect all amounts due under any and all
Receivables, including, without limitation, endorsing the Borrower’s name on checks and
other instruments representing Collections and enforcing such Receivables and the related
Contracts.

     Section 8.4. Responsibilities of the Borrower. Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding:

32

 

     (a) Contracts. The Borrower shall remain responsible for performing all of its obligations
(if any) under the Contracts related to the Receivables and under the related agreements to the
same extent as if the security interest in the Collateral had not been granted hereunder, and the
exercise by the Agent or its designee of its rights hereunder shall not relieve the Borrower from
such obligations.

     (b) Limitation of Liability. The Agent and the Lenders shall not have any obligation or
liability with respect to any Receivables, Contracts related thereto or any other related
agreements, nor shall any of them be obligated to perform any of the obligations of the Borrower or
the Seller thereunder.

     Section 8.5. Further Action Evidencing the Security Interest.

     (a) Further Assurances. The Borrower agrees that from time to time, at its expense, it will
promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action
that the Agent or its designee may reasonably request in order to perfect, protect or more fully
evidence the Agent’s security interest, on behalf of the Secured Parties, in the Collateral, or to
enable the Agent or its designee to exercise or enforce any of the Secured Parties’ respective
rights hereunder or under any Transaction Document in respect thereof. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Borrower will:

     (i) upon the request of the Agent, file such financing or continuation statements, or
amendments thereto or assignments thereof, and such other instruments or notices, as may be
necessary or appropriate, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;

     (ii) upon the request of the Agent after the occurrence and during the continuance of
an Event of Default, mark conspicuously each Contract evidencing each Receivable
constituting chattel paper with a legend, acceptable to the Agent, evidencing its security
interest therein pursuant to this Agreement; and

     (iii) mark its master data processing records evidencing the Collateral with a legend,
acceptable to the Agent, evidencing that a security interest in the Collateral has been
granted pursuant to this Agreement.

Borrower hereby authorizes the Agent or its designee to file one or more financing or continuation
statements, and amendments thereto and assignments thereof, relative to all or any of the
Collateral now existing or hereafter arising in the name of the Borrower. If the Borrower fails to
perform any of its agreements or obligations under this Agreement, the Agent or its designee may
(but shall not be required to) itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement or
obligation, and the reasonable expenses of the Agent or its designee incurred in connection
therewith shall be payable by the Borrower as provided in Section 14.5.

     Section 8.6. Application of Collections. Any payment by an Obligor in respect of any
indebtedness owed by it to the Originator, the Seller or the Borrower shall, except as otherwise
specified by such Obligor or required by the underlying Contract or law, be applied, first, as a
Collection of any Receivable or Receivables then outstanding of such Obligor in the order of the

33

 

age of such Receivables, starting with the oldest of such Receivables and, second, to any
other indebtedness of such Obligor.

ARTICLE IX

     Section 9.1. Grant of Security Interest. To secure the due and punctual payment of the
Obligations, whether now or hereafter existing, due or to become due, direct or indirect, or
absolute or contingent, including, without limitation, all Indemnified Amounts, in each case pro
rata according to the respective amounts thereof, the Borrower hereby pledges to the Agent, for the
benefit of the Secured Parties, and hereby grants to the Agent, for the benefit of the Secured

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

     Section 9.4. Limitation on Rights to Collateral Proceeds. Nothing in this Agreement shall
entitle the Secured Parties to receive or retain proceeds of the Collateral in excess of the

claiming through such Secured Party).

for its, their or such Person’s own bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (ii)
responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or
warranties made by the Borrower contained in this Agreement or in any certificate, report,
statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received under or in connection
with, this Agreement or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or
sufficiency of this Agreement or any other document furnished in connection herewith, or for any
failure of the Borrower to perform its respective obligations hereunder, or for the satisfaction of
any condition specified in Article V, except receipt of items required to be delivered to the
Agent. The Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Lender or Liquidity Bank 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 to inspect the properties, books or records of the Borrower.
This Section 11.3 is intended solely to govern the relationship between each Agent, on the one
hand, and the Lenders and their respective Liquidity Banks, on the other.

     Section 11.4. Reliance by Agent.

     (a) The Agent shall in all cases be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in
relying upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter,
cablegram, telegram, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other 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 the Borrower), independent accountants and other
experts selected by the Agent. The Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing
or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other document furnished in
connection herewith unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of such of the
Lenders and Liquidity Banks as it shall determine to be appropriate under the relevant
circumstances, or it shall first be indemnified to its

38

 

satisfaction by the Liquidity Banks against any and all liability, cost and expense
which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

     (b) Any action taken by the Agent in accordance with Section 11.4(a) shall be binding
upon all Lenders.

     Section 11.5. Notice of Events of Default. The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or
notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default or Unmatured Default unless the Agent has received
notice from a Lender, a Liquidity Bank or a Loan Party referring to this Agreement, stating that an
Event of Default or Unmatured Default has occurred hereunder and describing such Event of Default
or Unmatured Default. In the event that the Agent receives such a notice, it shall promptly give
notice thereof to the Lenders and Liquidity Banks. The Agent shall take such action with respect
to such Event of Default or Unmatured Default as shall be directed by the Majority Lenders.

     Section 11.6. Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Lenders. Each of the Lenders expressly
acknowledges that neither the Agent, nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents,
attorneys-in-fact or affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by
the Agent hereafter taken, including, without limitation, any review of the affairs of the
Borrower, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Agent. Each of the
Lenders also represents and warrants to the Agent and the other Lenders that it has, independently
and without reliance upon any such Person (or any of their Affiliates) 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
the Borrower and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement. Each of the Lenders also
represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Liquidity
Bank or Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the
time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking
action under this Agreement, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself
as to the business, operations, property, prospects, financial and other condition and
creditworthiness of the Borrower. Neither of the Agent nor any of the Lenders, nor any of their
respective Affiliates, shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any party to this Agreement
with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, prospects,
financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower which may come into the
possession of such Person or any of its respective officers, directors, employees, agents,
attorneys-in-fact or affiliates, except that the Agent shall promptly distribute to the Lenders and
the Liquidity Banks, copies of financial and other information expressly provided to the Agent by
the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement for distribution to the Lenders.

     Section 11.7. Indemnification of Agent. Each Liquidity Bank agrees to indemnify the Agent and
its officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents (to the extent not reimbursed by the
Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably in accordance with
their respective Ratable Shares, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or
nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel
for the Agent or such Person in connection with any

39

 

investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not
the Agent in its capacity as such or such Person shall be designated a party thereto) that may at
any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Agent or such Person as a result of, or
arising out of, or in any way related to or by reason of, any of the transactions contemplated
hereunder or the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement or any other document
furnished in connection herewith (but excluding any such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting solely from the
bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent or such Person as finally determined
by a court of competent jurisdiction).

     Section 11.8. Agent in its Individual Capacity. The Agent in its individual capacity and its
affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business
with the Borrower and their Affiliates as though it were not the Agent hereunder. With respect to
its Loans, if any, pursuant to this Agreement, the Agent shall have the same rights and powers
under this Agreement as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and
the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include the Agent in its individual capacity.

     Section 11.9. Successor Agent. The Agent, upon five (5) days’ notice to the Borrower and the
Lenders, may voluntarily resign at any time; provided, however, that Bank of America shall not
voluntarily resign as the Agent so long as any of the Liquidity Banks’ respective Commitments
remain in effect or YC SUSI has any outstanding Loans hereunder. If the Agent (other than Bank of
America) shall voluntarily resign, then the Majority Lenders during such five-day period shall
appoint, from amongst the remaining Lenders, a successor agent, 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. Upon replacement of any Agent in accordance with
this Section 11.9, the retiring Agent shall execute such UCC-3 assignments and amendments, and
assignments and amendments of the Transaction Documents, as may be necessary to give effect to its
replacement by a successor Agent. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the
provisions of this Article XI and Article XIII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken
or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement.

     Section 11.10. Agent’s Conflict Waivers. Bank of America acts, or may in the future act, (i)
as administrative agent for YC SUSI, (ii) as issuing and paying agent for YC SUSI’s Commercial
Paper Notes, (iii) to provide credit or liquidity enhancement for the timely payment for YC SUSI’s
Commercial Paper Notes and (iv) to provide other services from time to time for YC SUSI
(collectively, the “Bank of America Roles”). Without limiting the generality of Sections 11.1 and
11.8, each Agent, Lender and Liquidity Bank hereby acknowledges and consents to any and all Bank of
America Roles and agrees that in connection with any Bank of America Role, Bank of America may
take, or refrain from taking, any action which it, in its discretion, deems appropriate, including,
without limitation, in its role as administrative agent for YC SUSI, the giving of notice to the
Liquidity Banks of a mandatory purchase pursuant to the Liquidity Agreement, and hereby
acknowledges that neither Bank of America nor any of its Affiliates has any fiduciary duties
hereunder to any Lender (other than YC SUSI) or to any of the Liquidity Banks arising out of any
Bank of America Roles.

40

 

     Section 11.11. UCC Filings. Each of the Secured Parties hereby expressly recognizes and
agrees that the Agent may be listed as the assignee or secured party of record on the various UCC
filings required to be made under the Transaction Documents in order to perfect their respective
interests in the Collateral, that such listing shall be for administrative convenience only in
creating a record or nominee holder to take certain actions hereunder on behalf of the Secured
Parties and that such listing will not affect in any way the status of the Secured Parties as the
true parties in interest with respect to the Collateral. In addition, such listing shall impose no
duties on the Agent other than those expressly and specifically undertaken in accordance with this
Article XI.

ARTICLE XII

ASSIGNMENTS AND PARTICIPATIONS

     Section 12.1. Restrictions on Assignments, etc. (a) Neither the Borrower nor the Servicer may
assign its rights, or delegate its duties hereunder or any interest herein without the prior
written consent of the Agent; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be deemed to restrict
Seller’s right, prior to delivery of a Successor Notice, to delegate its duties as Servicer to the
Originator, provided that Seller shall remain primarily liable for the performance or
non-performance of such duties.

     (b) YC SUSI may, at any time, assign all or any portion of a Loan, or sell participations
therein, to the Liquidity Banks (or to the Agent for the ratable benefit of the Liquidity Banks).
In addition, YC SUSI may assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations hereunder to another
Person if such Person (i) is a corporation whose principal business is the financing of financial
assets, (ii) has Bank of America as its administrative agent and (iii) issues commercial paper with
credit ratings substantially identical to the ratings applicable to the commercial paper of YC
SUSI. YC SUSI shall promptly notify each party hereto of any such assignment.

     (c) In addition to, and not in limitation of, assignments and participations described in
Section 12.1(b):

     (i) in the event that any Liquidity Bank becomes a Downgraded Liquidity Bank, such
Downgraded Liquidity Bank shall give prompt written notice of its Downgrading Event to the
Agent and to the Borrower, whereupon the Agent may identify an Eligible Assignee acceptable
to the Borrower (which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and the
Downgraded Liquidity Bank shall promptly assign its rights and obligations to the Eligible
Assignee designated by the Agent against payment in full of its Obligations;

     (ii) each of the Lenders may assign all or any portion of its Loans and, if applicable,
its Commitment under this Agreement to any Eligible Assignee acceptable to the Borrower
(which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); and

     (iii) each of the Lenders may sell participations in all or any portion of their
respective rights and obligations in, to and under the Transaction Documents and the
Obligations in accordance with Sections 12.2 and 14.7.

41

 

     Section 12.2. Rights of Assignees and Participants. (a) Upon the assignment by a Lender in
accordance with Section 12.1(b) or (c), the Eligible Assignee(s) acceptable to the Borrower
receiving such assignment shall have all of the rights of such Lender with respect to the
Transaction Documents and the Obligations (or such portion thereof as has been assigned).

     (b) In no event will the sale of any participation interest in any Lender’s or any Eligible
Assignee’s rights under the Transaction Documents or in the Obligations relieve the seller of such
participation of its obligations, if any, hereunder or, if applicable, under the applicable
Liquidity Agreement.

     Section 12.3. Terms and Evidence of Assignment. Any assignment to any Eligible Assignee(s)
pursuant to Section 12.1(b) or 12.1(c) shall be upon such terms and conditions as the assigning
Lender and the Agent, on the one hand, and the Eligible Assignee, on the other, may mutually agree,
and shall be evidenced by such instrument(s) or document(s) as may be satisfactory to such Lender,
the Agent and the Eligible Assignee(s). Any assignment made in accordance with the terms of the
Article XII shall relieve the assigning Lender of its obligations, if any, under this Agreement
(and, if applicable, the Liquidity Agreement) to the extent assigned.

ARTICLE XIII

INDEMNIFICATION

     Section 13.1. Indemnities by the Borrower.

     (a) General Indemnity. Without limiting any other rights which any such Person may have
hereunder or under applicable law, the Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify the Agent, each of the
Lenders, each of their respective Affiliates, and all successors, transferees, participants and
assigns and all officers, directors, shareholders, controlling persons, employees and agents of any
of the foregoing (each, an “Indemnified Party”), forthwith on demand, from and against any and all
damages, losses, claims, liabilities and related costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees,
disbursements and settlement costs (all of the foregoing being collectively referred to as
“Indemnified Amounts”) awarded against or incurred by any of them arising out of or relating to the
Transaction Documents, the Obligations or the Collateral, excluding, however, (i) Indemnified
Amounts to the extent determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from bad
faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Indemnified Party, (ii) recourse
(except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement) for Indemnified Amounts to the extent
the same includes losses in respect of Receivables which are uncollectible on account of the
insolvency, bankruptcy or lack of creditworthiness of the related Obligor, (iii) Indemnified
Amounts that represent taxes based upon, or measured by, net income, or changes in the rate of tax
or as determined by reference to the overall net income, of such Indemnified Party, (iv)
Indemnified Amounts that represent franchise taxes, taxes on, or in the nature of, doing business
taxes or capital taxes or (v) Indemnified Amounts that represent withholding taxes required for
payments made to any foreign entity which, at the time such foreign entity issues its Commitment or
Liquidity Commitment or becomes an assignee of a Lender hereunder, fails to deliver to the Agent
and the Borrower an accurate IRS Form W-8 BEN or W-8 ECI, as applicable. Without limiting the
foregoing, the Borrower shall indemnify each Indemnified Party for Indemnified Amounts arising out
of or relating to:

42

 

     (A) the creation of any Lien on, or transfer by any Loan Party of any interest in, the
Collateral other than the sale of Receivables and related property by the Originator to the
Seller pursuant to the Sale Agreement and by the Seller to the Borrower pursuant to the
Purchase and Sale Agreement and the grant by the Borrower of a security interest in the
Collateral to the Agent pursuant to Section 9.1;

     (B) any representation or warranty made by any Loan Party (or any of its officers)
under or in connection with any Transaction Document, any Information Package or any other
information or report delivered by or on behalf of any Loan Party pursuant hereto, which
shall have been false, incorrect or misleading in any respect when made or deemed made or
delivered, as the case may be;

     (C) the failure by any Loan Party to comply with any applicable law, rule or regulation
with respect to any Receivable or the related Contract, or the nonconformity of any
Receivable or the related Contract with any such applicable law, rule or regulation;

     (D) the failure to vest and maintain vested in the Agent, for the benefit of the
Secured Parties, a valid and perfected first priority security interest in the Collateral,
free and clear of any other Lien, other than a Lien arising solely as a result of an act of
one of the Secured Parties, now or at any time thereafter;

     (E) the failure to file, 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;

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

     (G) any matter described in Section 3.4;

     (H) any failure of any Loan Party, as the Borrower, the Servicer or otherwise, to
perform its duties or obligations in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the
other Transaction Documents to which it is a party;

     (I) any products liability claim or any claim of breach by any Loan Party of any
related Contract with respect to any Receivable;

     (J) any tax or governmental fee or charge, all interest and penalties thereon or with
respect thereto, and all out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including the reasonable fees and
expenses of counsel in defending against the same, which may arise by reason of the Agent’s
security interest in the Collateral;

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

43

 

     (L) any investigation, litigation or proceeding related to or arising from this
Agreement or any other Transaction Document, the transactions contemplated hereby or
thereby, the use of the proceeds of any Loan, the security interest in the Receivables and
Related Assets or any other investigation, litigation or proceeding relating to the
Borrower, the Seller or the Originator in which any Indemnified Party becomes involved as a
result of any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (other than an
investigation, litigation or proceeding (1) relating to a dispute solely amongst the Lenders
(or certain Lenders) and the Agent or (2) excluded by this Section 13.1(a));

     (M) 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;

     (N) the occurrence of any Event of Default of the type described in Section 10.1(e); or

     (O) any loss incurred by any of the Secured Parties as a result of the inclusion in the
Borrowing Base of (i) Receivables owing from any single Obligor and its Affiliated Obligors
which causes the aggregate Unpaid Balance of all such Receivables to exceed the applicable
Obligor Concentration Limit or (ii) Receivables in excess of the Extended Term Concentration
Limit.

     (b) Contest of Tax Claim; After-Tax Basis. If any Indemnified Party shall have notice of any
attempt to impose or collect any tax or governmental fee or charge for which indemnification will
be sought from any Loan Party under Section 13.1(a)(xi), such Indemnified Party shall give prompt
and timely notice of such attempt to the Borrower and the Borrower shall have the right, at its
expense, to participate in any proceedings resisting or objecting to the imposition or collection
of any such tax, governmental fee or charge. Indemnification hereunder shall be in an amount
necessary to make the Indemnified Party whole after taking into account any tax consequences to the
Indemnified Party of the payment of any of the aforesaid taxes (including any deduction) and the
receipt of the indemnity provided hereunder or of any refund of any such tax previously indemnified
hereunder, including the effect of such tax, deduction or refund on the amount of tax measured by
net income or profits which is or was payable by the Indemnified Party.

     (c) Contribution. If for any reason the indemnification provided above in this Section 13.1
(and subject to the exceptions set forth therein) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or is
insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless, then the Borrower shall contribute to the
amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or
liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received
by such Indemnified Party on the one hand and the Borrower on the other hand but also the relative
fault of such Indemnified Party as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

     Section 13.2. Indemnities by Servicer. Without limiting any other rights which any
Indemnified Party may have hereunder or under applicable law, the Servicer hereby agrees to
indemnify each of the Indemnified Parties forthwith on demand, from and against any and all
Indemnified Amounts awarded against or incurred by any of them arising out of or relating to the

44

 

Servicer’s performance of, or failure to perform, any of its obligations under or in
connection with any Transaction Document, or any representation or warranty made by the Servicer
(or any of its officers) under or in connection with any Transaction Document, any Information
Package or any other information or report delivered by or on behalf of the Servicer, which shall
have been false, incorrect or misleading in any material respect when made or deemed made or
delivered, as the case may be, or the failure of the Servicer to comply with any applicable law,
rule or regulation with respect to any Receivable or the related Contract. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in no event shall any Indemnified Party be awarded any Indemnified Amounts (a) to the
extent determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from gross negligence or
willful misconduct on the part of such Indemnified Party, (b) as recourse for Indemnified Amounts
to the extent the same includes losses in respect of Receivables which are uncollectible on account
of the insolvency, bankruptcy or lack of creditworthiness of the related Obligor, (c) that
represent taxes based upon, or measured by, net income, of changes in the rate of tax or as
determined by reference to the overall net income, of such Indemnified Party, (d) that represent
franchise taxes, taxes on, or in the nature of, doing business taxes or capital taxes or (e) that
represent withholding taxes required for payments made to any foreign entity which, at the time
such foreign entity issues its Commitment or Liquidity Commitment or becomes an assignee of a
Lender hereunder, fails to deliver to the Agent and the Borrower an accurate IRS Form W-8 BEN or
W-8 ECI, as applicable.

     If for any reason the indemnification provided above in this Section 13.2 (and subject to the
exceptions set forth therein) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or is insufficient to hold an
Indemnified Party harmless, then the Servicer shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by
such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as
is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by such Indemnified Party on the
one hand and the Servicer on the other hand but also the relative fault of such Indemnified Party
as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

ARTICLE XIV

ARTICLE XV

ADDITIONAL LIQUIDITY BANK PROVISIONS

     Section 15.1. Assignment to Liquidity Banks.

     (a) Assignment Amounts. At any time on or prior to the Conduit Investment Termination Date,
if the administrator for YC SUSI (the “Administrator”) so elects, by written notice to the Agent,
the Borrower hereby irrevocably requests and directs that YC SUSI assign, and YC SUSI does hereby
assign effective on the Assignment Date referred to below all or such portions as may be elected by
YC SUSI of its interest in the Obligations at such time to the Liquidity Banks pursuant to this
Section 15.1 and the Borrower hereby agrees to pay the amounts described in Section 15.1(b) within
two (2) Business Days of its receipt of a notice thereof specifying the amounts owed pursuant
thereto; provided that unless such assignment is an assignment of all of YC SUSI’s interest in the
Obligations in whole on or after the Conduit Investment Termination Date, no such assignment shall
take place pursuant to this Section 15.1 if an Event of Default described in Section 10.1(e) shall
then exist; and provided further that no such assignment shall take place pursuant to this Section
15.1 at a time when an Event of Bankruptcy with respect to YC SUSI exists. No further
documentation or action on the part of

50

 

YC SUSI or the Borrower shall be required to exercise the rights set forth in the immediately
preceding sentence, other than the giving of the notice by YC SUSI referred to in such sentence and
the delivery by YC SUSI of a copy of such notice to each Liquidity Bank (the date of the receipt of
any such notice being the “Assignment Date”). Each Liquidity Bank hereby agrees, unconditionally
and irrevocably and under all circumstances, without setoff, counterclaim or defense of any kind,
to pay the full amount of its Assignment Amount on such Assignment Date to YC SUSI in immediately
available funds to an account designated by YC SUSI. Upon payment of its Assignment Amount, each
Liquidity Bank shall acquire an interest in the Obligations equal to its pro rata share (based on
the outstanding portions of the Obligations funded by it) of the assigned portion of the
Obligations. At all times after the Conduit Investment Termination Date, YC SUSI shall cease to
make any additional Loans hereunder. At all times prior to the Conduit Investment Termination
Date, nothing herein shall prevent YC SUSI from making subsequent Loans hereunder, in its sole
discretion, following any assignment pursuant to this Section 15.1 or from making more than one
assignment pursuant to this Section 15.1.

     (b) Borrower’s Obligation to Pay Certain Amounts; Additional Assignment Amount. The Borrower
shall pay to the Administrator, for the account of YC SUSI, in connection with any assignment by YC
SUSI to a Liquidity Bank pursuant to this Section 15.1, an aggregate amount equal to all interest
and fees to accrue up to but not including the effective date of such assignment to the extent
attributable to the portion of the Obligations so assigned to the Liquidity Banks (which interest
shall be determined for such purpose using the CP Costs most recently determined by the
Administrator) (as determined immediately prior to giving effect to such assignment), plus all
other Obligations then due and owing to YC SUSI (other than any interest not described above)
related to the portion of the Obligations so assigned to the Liquidity Banks. If the Borrower
fails to make payment of such amounts at or prior to the time of assignment by YC SUSI to a
Liquidity Bank, such amount shall be paid by such Liquidity Bank to YC SUSI as additional
consideration for the interests assigned to such Liquidity Bank and the amount of the “Obligations”
hereunder held by such Liquidity Bank shall be increased by an amount equal to the additional
amount so paid by such Liquidity Bank and such Obligations shall no longer be owed to YC SUSI.

     (c) Administration of Agreement after Assignment from YC SUSI to the Liquidity Banks following
the Conduit Investment Termination Date. After any assignment in whole by YC SUSI to the Liquidity
Banks pursuant to this Section 15.1 at any time on or after the related Conduit Investment
Termination Date (and the payment of all amounts owing to YC SUSI in connection therewith), all
rights of the Administrator set forth herein shall be given to the Agent on behalf of the
applicable Liquidity Bank instead of the Administrator.

     (d) Payments to Agent’s Account. After any assignment in whole by a YC SUSI to the Liquidity
Banks pursuant to this Section 15.1 at any time on or after the related Conduit Investment
Termination Date, all payments to be made hereunder by the Borrower or the Servicer to YC SUSI
shall be made to the Agent’s account as such account shall have been notified to the Borrower and
the Servicer.

     (e) Recovery of Obligations. In the event that the aggregate of the Assignment Amounts paid
by the Liquidity Banks pursuant to this Section 15.1 on any Assignment Date

51

 

occurring on or after the Conduit Investment Termination Date is less than the Obligations of
YC SUSI on such Assignment Date, then to the extent Collections thereafter received by the Agent
and the Liquidity Banks hereunder in respect of the Obligations exceed the aggregate of the
unrecovered Assignment Amounts and Obligations funded by such Liquidity Banks, such excess shall be
remitted by the Liquidity Banks to YC SUSI (or to the Administrator on its behalf) for the account
of YC SUSI.

     Section 15.2. Downgrade of Liquidity Bank.

     (a) Downgrades Generally. If at any time on or prior to the Conduit Investment Termination
Date, the short term debt rating of any Liquidity Bank shall be “A-2” or “P-2” from S&P or Moody’s,
respectively, with negative credit implications, such Liquidity Bank, upon request of the Agent,
shall, within thirty (30) days of such request, assign its rights and obligations hereunder to
another financial institution (which institution’s short term debt shall be rated at least “A-2” or
“P-2” from S&P or Moody’s, respectively, and which shall not be so rated with negative credit
implications and which is acceptable to YC SUSI and the Agent). If the short term debt rating of a
Liquidity Bank shall be “A-3” or “P-3”, or lower, from S&P or Moody’s, respectively (or such rating
shall have been withdrawn by S&P or Moody’s), such Liquidity Bank, upon request of the Agent,
shall, within five (5) Business Days of such request, assign its rights and obligations hereunder
to another financial institution (which institution’s short term debt shall be rated at least “A-2”
or “P-2”, from S&P or Moody’s, respectively, and which shall not be so rated with negative credit
implications and which is acceptable to YC SUSI and the Agent). In either such case, if any such
Liquidity Bank shall not have assigned its rights and obligations under this Agreement within the
applicable time period described above (in either such case, the “Required Downgrade Assignment
Period”), the Agent on behalf of YC SUSI shall have the right to require such Liquidity Bank to pay
upon one (1) Business Day’s notice at any time after the Required Downgrade Assignment Period (and
each such Liquidity Bank hereby agrees in such event to pay within such time) to the Agent an
amount equal to such Liquidity Bank’s unused Commitment (a “Downgrade Draw”) for deposit by the
Agent into an account, in the name of the Agent (a “Downgrade Collateral Account”), which shall be
in satisfaction of such Liquidity Bank’s obligations to make Loans and to pay its Assignment Amount
upon an assignment from YC SUSI in accordance with Section 15.1; provided that if, during the
Required Downgrade Assignment Period, such Liquidity Bank delivers a written notice to the Agent of
its intent to deliver a direct pay irrevocable letter of credit pursuant to this proviso in lieu of
the payment required to fund the Downgrade Draw, then such Liquidity Bank will not be required to
fund such Downgrade Draw. If any Liquidity Bank gives the Agent such notice, then such Liquidity
Bank shall, within one (1) Business Day after the Required Downgrade Assignment Period, deliver to
the Agent a direct pay irrevocable letter of credit in favor of the Agent in an amount equal to the
unused portion of such Liquidity Bank’s Commitment, which letter of credit shall be issued through
an United States office of a bank or other financial institution (i) whose short-term debt ratings
by S&P and Moody’s are at least equal to the ratings assigned by such statistical rating
organization to the Commercial Paper of YC SUSI and (ii) that is acceptable to YC SUSI and the
Agent. Such letter of credit shall provide that the Agent may draw thereon for payment of any Loan
or Assignment Amount payable by such Liquidity Bank which is not paid hereunder when required,
shall expire no earlier than the related Conduit Investment Termination Date and shall otherwise be
in form and substance acceptable to the Agent.

52

 

     (b) Application of Funds in Downgrade Collateral Account. If any Liquidity Bank shall be
required pursuant to Section 15.2(a) to fund a Downgrade Draw, then the Agent shall apply the
monies in the Downgrade Collateral Account applicable to such Liquidity Bank’s share of Loans
required to be made by the Liquidity Banks and to any Assignment Amount payable by such Liquidity
Bank pursuant to Section 15.1 at the times, in the manner and subject to the conditions precedent
set forth in this Agreement. The deposit of monies in such Downgrade Collateral Account by any
Liquidity Bank shall not constitute a Loan or the payment of any Assignment Amount (and such
Liquidity Bank shall not be entitled to interest on such monies except as provided below in this
Section 15.2(b), unless and until (and then only to the extent that) such monies are used to fund
Loans or to pay any Assignment Amount. The amount on deposit in such Downgrade Collateral Account
shall be invested by the Agent in Eligible Investments and such Eligible Investments shall be
selected by the Agent in its sole discretion. The Agent shall remit to such Liquidity Bank, on the
last Business Day of each month, the income actually received thereon. Unless required to be
released as provided below in this subsection, Collections received by the Agent in respect of such
Liquidity Bank’s portion of the Obligations shall be deposited in the Downgrade Collateral Account
for such Liquidity Bank. Amounts on deposit in such Downgrade Collateral Account shall be released
to such Liquidity Bank (or the stated amount of the letter of credit delivered by such Liquidity
Bank pursuant to subsection (a) above may be reduced) within one (1) Business Day after each
Settlement Date following the Termination Date to the extent that, after giving effect to the
distributions made and received by the Lenders on such Settlement Date, the amount on deposit in
such Downgrade Collateral Account would exceed such Liquidity Bank’s pro rata share (determined as
of the day prior to the Termination Date) of the sum of all Loans then funded by YC SUSI, plus the
Interest Component. All amounts remaining in such Downgrade Collateral Account shall be released
to such Liquidity Bank no later than the Business Day immediately following the earliest of (i) the
effective date of any replacement of such Liquidity Bank or removal of such Liquidity Bank as a
party to this Agreement, (ii) the date on which such Liquidity Bank shall furnish the Agent with
confirmation that such Liquidity Bank shall have short-term debt ratings of at least “A-2” or “P-2”
from S&P and Moody’s, respectively, without negative credit implications, and (iii) the Conduit
Investment Termination Date. Nothing in this Section 15.2 shall affect or diminish in any way any
such downgraded Liquidity Bank’s Commitment to the Borrower or YC SUSI or such downgraded Liquidity
Bank’s other obligations and liabilities hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents.

     (c) Liquidity Agreement Downgrade Provisions. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this
Section 15.2, a Liquidity Bank shall not be required to make a Downgrade Draw (or provide for the
issuance of a letter of credit in lieu thereof) pursuant to Section 15.2(a) at a time when such
Liquidity Bank has a downgrade collateral account (or letter of credit in lieu thereof) established
pursuant to the Liquidity Agreement relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to
which it is a party in an amount at least equal to its unused Commitment, and the Agent may apply
monies in such downgrade collateral account in the manner described in Section 15.2(b) as if such
downgrade collateral account were a Downgrade Collateral Account.

	•	 	Corporate/UCC opinions should address the following matters as to the Borrower, the
Originator, and the Servicer (collectively, the “Companies”):

          1. Each of the Companies has been duly organized and is validly existing under the laws of
Delaware, with power and authority to conduct its business as now conducted (or, in the case of the
Borrower, proposed to be conducted), to own, or hold under lease, its assets and to enter into the
Transaction Documents to which it is a party and perform its obligations thereunder. Based solely
on certificates from public officials, we confirm that each of the Companies is qualified to do
business in the following States: Delaware, Illinois.

          2. The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents to which any of the
Companies is a party and the execution and delivery of the Financing Statements naming any of the

such Company.

          3. Each of the Transaction Documents constitutes a legally valid and binding obligation of
each of the Companies signatory thereto, enforceable against such Company in accordance with its
terms.

          4. The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and the Financing Statements by
each of the Companies signatory thereto, and the performance of their respective obligations do
not: (a) violate any federal or the State of Delaware or State of Illinois statute, rule or

interest (as defined in Section 1-201(37) of the New York UCC) in favor of the

 

 

Borrower and its assigns in that portion of the Receivables and Related Rights which

general intangibles as security for the payment of the Obligations.

          6. Each of the Financing Statements is in appropriate form for filing in the Filing Office
specified on the face thereof. Upon the proper filing of each of the Financing Statements in such
Filing Office, the security interest in favor of the Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties
in the Collateral described therein will be perfected.

          7. Based solely on our review of the Search Reports, and assuming (a) the proper filing of the
Financing Statements in the appropriate Filing Offices, and (b) the absence of any intervening
filings between the date and time of the Search Reports and the date and time of the filing of the
Financing Statements in the Filing Offices, the security interests of the Agent for the benefit of
Secured Parties in the Collateral described in #6 above will be prior to any other security
interest granted by any of the Companies in such collateral, the priority of which is determined
solely by the filing of a financing statement in the applicable Filing Office.

          8. None of the Companies is an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended.
