PURCHASE ARRANGEMENTS

accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Company may, at its option,

fourth amended and restated

receivables purchase agreement

behalf of such Company, or if any Company shall decline to
purchase, the Agent shall purchase, on behalf of such declining Company’s Related Financial
Institutions, Purchaser Interests from time to time in an amount not to exceed in the aggregate for
all Sellers at such time (i) in the case of each Company, its Company Purchase Limit and (ii) in
the aggregate, the lesser of (A) the Purchase Limit and (B) the aggregate amount of the Commitments
during the period from the date hereof to but not including the Facility Termination Date.

a The Administrative Seller may, upon at least 10 Business Days’ notice to the Agent, each
Company and each Financial Institution, terminate in whole or reduce in part, ratably among the
Financial Institutions, the unused portion of the Purchase Limit; provided that (i) any such notice
shall be irrevocable, (ii) each partial reduction of the Purchase Limit shall be in an amount equal
to $5,000,000 or an integral multiple thereof and (iii) the aggregate of the Company Purchase
Limits for all of the Companies shall also be terminated in whole or reduced in part, ratably among
the Companies, by an amount equal to such termination or reduction in the Purchase Limit.

2 Increases.

     The Administrative Seller shall provide the Agent and each Purchaser with at least two
Business Days’ prior notice in a form set forth as Exhibit II hereto of each Incremental
Purchase (a “Purchase Notice”) to be made by a Seller. Each Purchase Notice shall be
subject to Section 6.2 hereof and, except as set forth below, (i) shall be irrevocable and
shall specify the requested Purchase Price (which, in the case of the initial Incremental Purchase
hereunder shall not be less than $10,000,000 and in the case of subsequent Incremental Purchases
shall not be less than $1,000,000), (ii) the date of purchase (which, in the case of Incremental
Purchases after the initial Incremental Purchase hereunder, shall not exceed four per calendar
month), (iii) in the case of an Incremental Purchase to be funded by any of the Financial
Institutions, the requested Discount Rate and Tranche Period and (iv) in the case of an Incremental
Purchase to be funded by the CL Company or by any Pool Company (other than an Incremental Purchase
funded by such Pool Company substantially with Pooled Commercial Paper), the requested CP (Tranche)
Accrual Period. Following receipt of a Purchase Notice, the Agent will promptly notify each
Company of such Purchase Notice and the Agent will identify the Companies that agree to make the
purchase. If any Company declines to make a proposed purchase, the Administrative Seller may
cancel the Purchase Notice as to all Purchasers no

3

 

fourth amended and restated

receivables purchase agreement

later than 2:00 p.m. (Chicago time) on the
Business Day immediately prior to the date of purchase specified in the Purchase Notice or, in the
absence of such a cancellation, the Incremental Purchase of the Purchaser Interest, which such
Company has declined to purchase, will be made by such declining Company’s Related Financial
Institutions in accordance with the rest of this Section 1.2. If the proposed Incremental
Purchase or any portion thereof is to be made by any of the Financial Institutions, the Agent shall
send notice of the proposed Incremental Purchase to the applicable Financial Institutions
concurrently by telecopier, telex or cable specifying (i) the date of such Incremental Purchase,
which date must be at least one Business Day after such notice is received by the applicable
Financial Institutions, (ii) each Financial Institution’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate Purchase
Price of the Purchaser Interests the Financial Institutions in such Financial Institution’s
Purchaser Group are then purchasing and (iii) the requested Discount Rate and Tranche Period. On
the date of each Incremental Purchase, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions precedent set
forth in Article VI and the conditions set forth in this Section 1.2, the Companies
and/or the Financial Institutions, as applicable, shall use their reasonable best efforts to
deposit to the Facility Account, in immediately available funds, no later than 12:00 noon (Chicago
time), and in any event no later than 2:00 pm (Chicago time), an amount equal to (i) in the case of
a Company that has agreed to make such Incremental Purchase, such Company’s Pro Rata Share of the
aggregate Purchase Price of the Purchaser Interests of such Incremental Purchase or (ii) in the
case of a Financial Institution, such Financial Institution’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate
Purchase Price of the Purchaser Interests the Financial Institutions in such Financial
Institution’s Purchaser Group are then purchasing. Each Financial Institution’s Commitment
hereunder shall be limited to purchasing Purchaser Interests that the Company in such Financial
Institution’s Purchaser Group has declined to purchase. Each Financial Institution’s obligation
shall be several, such that the failure of any Financial Institution to make available to any
Seller any funds in connection with any purchase shall not relieve any other Financial Institution
of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make funds available on the date of such purchase, but no
Financial Institution shall be responsible for the failure of any other Financial Institution to
make funds available in connection with any purchase.

3 Decreases. The Administrative Seller shall provide the Agent with an irrevocable prior
written notice in conformity with the Required Notice Period (a “Reduction Notice”) of any proposed
reduction of Aggregate Capital from Collections and the Agent will promptly notify each Purchaser
of such Reduction Notice after Agent’s receipt thereof. Such Reduction Notice shall designate (i)
the date (the “Proposed Reduction Date”) upon which any such reduction of Aggregate

4

 

fourth amended and restated

receivables purchase agreement

 Capital shall
occur (which date shall give effect to the applicable Required Notice Period), and (ii) the amount
of Aggregate Capital to be reduced that shall be applied ratably to the Purchaser Interests of the
Companies and the Financial Institutions in accordance with the amount of Capital (if any) owing to
the Companies (ratably to each Company, based on the ratio of such Company’s Capital at such time
to the aggregate Capital of all the Companies at such time), on the one hand, and the amount of
Capital (if any) owing to the Financial Institutions (ratably to each Financial Institution, based
on the ratio of such Financial Institution’s Capital at such time to the aggregate Capital of all
of the Financial Institutions at such time), on the other hand (the “Aggregate Reduction”). Only
one (1) Reduction Notice shall be outstanding at any time. Concurrently with any reduction of
Aggregate Capital pursuant to this Section, the Sellers shall pay to the applicable Purchaser all
Broken Funding Costs arising as a result of such reduction. No Aggregate Reduction will be made
following the occurrence of the Amortization Date without the prior written consent of the Agent.

4 Payment Requirements. All amounts to be paid or deposited by any Seller Party pursuant to any
provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents shall be paid or deposited in
immediately available funds in accordance with the terms hereof. Such Seller Party shall use its
reasonable best efforts to pay or deposit all such amounts no later than 12:00 noon (Chicago time)
on the day when due. Any such payment or deposit not received by 1:00 pm (Chicago time) shall be
deemed to be received on the next succeeding Business Day. If such amounts are payable to a
Purchaser, they shall be paid to such Purchaser at the “Payment Address” specified for such
Purchaser on Schedule A or such other address specified in writing to each other party hereto. If
such amounts are payable to the Agent, they shall be paid to the Agent at 1 Bank One Plaza,
Chicago, Illinois 60670 until otherwise notified by the Agent. Upon notice to the Administrative
Seller, the Agent may debit the Facility Account for all amounts due and payable hereunder. All
computations of Yield, per annum fees or discount calculated as part of any CP Costs, per annum
fees hereunder and per annum fees under any Fee Letter shall be made on the basis of a year of 360
days for the actual number of days elapsed. If any amount hereunder or under any other Transaction
Document shall be payable on a day that is not a Business Day, such amount shall be payable on the
next succeeding Business Day.

shall immediately pay to the Agent or relevant Purchaser, as applicable, when due, for the account
of the relevant Purchaser or Purchasers on a full recourse basis, (i) such fees as set forth in
each Fee Letter (which fees collectively shall be sufficient to pay all fees owing to the Financial
Institutions and other Funding Sources), (ii) all CP Costs, (iii) all amounts payable as Yield,
(iv) all amounts payable as Deemed Collections (which shall be immediately due and payable by the
Sellers and applied to reduce outstanding Aggregate Capital hereunder in accordance with Sections
2.2 and 2.3 hereof), (v) all amounts required pursuant to Section 2.6, (vi) all amounts payable
pursuant to Article X, if any, (vii) all Servicer costs and expenses, including the Servicing Fee,
in connection with servicing, administering and collecting the Receivables, (viii) all Broken
Funding Costs (any request for reimbursement of which shall be accompanied by a certificate in
reasonable detail demonstrating the reasonable calculation of ay such amount) and (ix) all Default
Fees (collectively, the “Obligations”). If any Person fails to pay any of the Obligations (other
than the Default Fee) when due, such Person agrees to pay, on demand, the Default Fee in respect
thereof until paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of this Agreement or any Fee
Letter shall require the payment or permit the collection of any amounts hereunder in excess of the
maximum permitted by applicable law. If at any time any Seller receives any Collections or is
deemed to receive any Collections, such Seller shall immediately pay such Collections or Deemed
Collections to the applicable Servicer for application in accordance with the terms and conditions
hereof and, at all times prior to such payment, such Collections or Deemed Collections shall be
held in trust by such Seller for the exclusive benefit of the Purchasers and the Agent.

6 Collections Prior to Amortization. Prior to the Amortization Date, any Collections
and/or Deemed Collections received by each Servicer shall be set aside and held in trust by such
Servicer for the benefit of the Agent and the Purchasers for the payment of any accrued and unpaid
Aggregate Unpaids or for a Reinvestment as provided in this Section 2.2. If at any time
any Collections and/or Deemed Collections are received by any Servicer prior to the Amortization
Date, (i) such Servicer shall set aside the Termination Percentage (hereinafter defined) of
Collections and/or Deemed Collections evidenced by the Purchaser Interests of each Terminating
Financial Institution and of each Company in a Terminating Financial Institution’s Purchaser Group,
shall set aside Collections to be used to effect any Aggregate Reduction in accordance with
Section 1.3 and shall set aside amounts

6

 

fourth amended and restated

receivables purchase agreement

 necessary to pay Obligations due on the next
succeeding Settlement Date and (ii) each Seller hereby requests and the Purchasers (other than any
Terminating Financial Institutions and, to the extent applicable, any Company in a Terminating
Financial Institution’s Purchaser Group) hereby agree to make, simultaneously with such receipt, a
reinvestment (each a “Reinvestment”) with that portion of the balance of each and every
Collection and Deemed Collection received by any Servicer that is part of any Purchaser Interest
(other than any Purchaser Interests of Terminating Financial Institutions and, to the extent
applicable, of any Company in a Terminating Financial Institution’s Purchaser Group), such that
after giving effect to such Reinvestment, the amount of Capital of such Purchaser Interest
immediately after such receipt and corresponding Reinvestment shall be equal to the amount of
Capital immediately prior to such receipt (but giving effect to any ratable reduction thereof
pursuant to application of an Aggregate Reduction). On each Settlement Date prior to the
occurrence of the Amortization Date, the Servicers shall remit to the Agent’s or applicable
Purchaser’s account the amounts set aside during the preceding Settlement Period that have not been
subject to a Reinvestment and apply such amounts (if not previously paid in accordance with
Section 2.1) first, to reduce unpaid CP Costs, Yield and other Obligations and
second, to reduce the Capital of all Purchaser Interests of Terminating Financial
Institutions and, to the extent applicable, of each Company in a Terminating Financial
Institution’s Purchaser Group, applied ratably to such Terminating Financial Institution and each
such Company according to its respective Termination Percentage. If such Capital, CP Costs, Yield
and other Obligations shall be reduced to zero, any additional Collections received by any Servicer
(i) if applicable, shall be remitted to the Agent’s or applicable Purchaser’s account to the extent
required to fund any Aggregate Reduction on such Settlement Date and (ii) any balance remaining
thereafter shall be remitted from such Servicer to the Sellers on such Settlement Date. Such
Servicer shall use its reasonable best efforts to remit all deposit amounts in the Agent’s or
applicable Purchaser’s account no later than 12:00 noon (Chicago time) on such Settlement Date.
Any such amounts not received by Agent or the applicable Purchaser by 1:00 pm (Chicago time) shall
be deemed to be received on the next succeeding Business Day. Each Terminating Financial
Institution and each Company in such Terminating Financial Institution’s Purchaser Group shall be
allocated a ratable portion of Collections from its Termination Date until, with respect to a
Terminating Financial Institution, such Terminating Financial Institution’s Capital, if any, shall
be paid in full and, with respect to a related Company (i) if any Related Financial Institution
with respect to such Company continues to exist, the Capital of such Company is equal to the
Company Purchase Limit (as reduced pursuant to Section 4.6(b)) of such Company or (ii) if
there are no Related Financial Institutions with respect to such Company, the Capital of such
Company shall be paid in full. The applicable ratable portion shall be calculated,

7

 

fourth amended and restated

receivables purchase agreement

 with respect to
any Terminating Financial Institution or applicable Company, on the Termination Date of each
Terminating Financial Institution or applicable Company as a percentage equal to (i) the Capital of
such Terminating Financial Institution or applicable Company outstanding on its Termination Date,
divided by (ii) the Aggregate Capital outstanding on such Termination Date (the
“Termination Percentage”). Each Terminating Financial Institution’s and applicable
Company’s Termination Percentage shall remain constant prior to the Amortization Date. On and
after the Amortization Date, each Termination Percentage shall be disregarded, and each Terminating
Financial Institution’s and each applicable Company’s Capital shall be reduced ratably with all
Financial Institutions and Companies in accordance with Section 2.3.

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

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

     first, to the payment of each Servicer’s reasonable actual out-of-pocket costs
and expenses in connection with servicing, administering and collecting the Receivables,
including the Servicing Fee, provided no Seller nor any of its Affiliates is then acting as
a Servicer,

     second, to the reimbursement of the Agent’s and the Purchasers’ costs of

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

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

     sixth, after the Aggregate Unpaids have been indefeasibly reduced to zero, to
the Administrative Seller for ratable distribution to the Sellers.

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

9 Payment Rescission. No payment of any of the Aggregate Unpaids shall be considered
paid or applied hereunder to the extent that, at any time, all or any portion of such payment or
application is rescinded by application of law or judicial authority, or must otherwise be returned
or refunded for any reason. Each Seller shall remain obligated for the amount of any payment or
application so rescinded, returned or refunded, and shall promptly pay to the Agent (for

amount thereof, plus the Default Fee from the date of any such rescission, return or refunding.

the ratio of each Purchaser’s Capital at such time to the Aggregate Capital at such time) within
one (1) Business Day an amount to be applied to reduce the Aggregate Capital, such that after
giving effect to such payment the aggregate of the Purchaser Interests equals or is less than 100%.

the right, upon two Business Days’ prior written notice to the Agent and the Purchasers, at any
time following the reduction of the Aggregate Capital to a level that is less than 20.0% of the
original Purchase Limit hereunder, to repurchase from the Purchasers all, but not less than all, of
the then outstanding Purchaser Interests. The purchase price in respect thereof shall be an amount
equal to the Aggregate Unpaids (including any Broken Funding Costs arising as a result of such
repurchase) through the date of such repurchase, payable in immediately available funds. Such
repurchase shall be without representation, warranty or recourse of any kind by, on the part of, or
against any Purchaser or the Agent.

COMPANY FUNDING

11 CP Costs. The Sellers shall pay CP Costs with respect to the Capital
associated with each Purchaser Interest of the Companies for each day that any Capital in respect
of any such Purchaser Interest is outstanding. Each Purchaser Interest of any Pool Company funded
substantially with Pooled Commercial Paper will accrue CP Costs each day on a pro rata basis, based
upon the percentage share the Capital in respect of such Purchaser Interest represents in relation
to all assets held by the applicable Pool Company and funded substantially with Pooled Commercial
Paper. Each Purchaser Interest of the CL Company and each Purchaser Interest of any Pool Company
not funded substantially with Pooled Commercial Paper shall accrue CP Costs for each day during its
CP (Tranche) Accrual Period at the rate determined in accordance with the definition of “Company
Costs” set forth in Exhibit I.

Company for the related CP (Tranche) Accrual Period in accordance with Article II.

Calculation of Pool Company Costs. On the third Business Day immediately preceding each Settlement
Date relating to a CP (Pool) Accrual Period, each Pool Company shall calculate the aggregate amount
of its Company Costs with respect to all Purchaser Interests funded substantially with Pooled
Commercial Paper for the

10

 

fourth amended and restated

receivables purchase agreement

applicable CP (Pool) Accrual Period and shall notify the Administrative
Seller of such aggregate amount of such Company Costs due and payable on such Settlement Date.

13 Selection and Calculation of CP (Tranche) Accrual Periods.

a In the case of Purchaser Interests of each Pool Company, the Administrative Seller shall (and
following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Potential Amortization Event or an
Amortization Event, shall with consultation from, and approval by, each Pool Company), from time to
time request CP (Tranche) Accrual Periods for the Purchaser Interests of each Pool Company other
than those funded substantially with Pooled Commercial Paper, provided, that (i) the consent of the
Agent and each Purchaser shall be required, (ii) the Administrative Seller must elect CP (Tranche)
Accrual Periods for all Purchaser Interests of each Pool Company, such that after giving effect to
such election, no Purchaser Interest of any Pool Company is funded with Pooled Commercial Paper and

Purchaser Interests of the CL Company, the Administrative Seller shall, with consultation from, and
approval by, the CL Company (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), from time to time
request CP (Tranche) Accrual Periods for the Purchaser Interests of the CL Company.

b The Administrative Seller or the applicable Company, upon notice to and consent by the other
received at least three (3) Business Days prior to the end of a CP (Tranche) Accrual Period (the

Terminating CP Tranche: (i) divide any such Purchaser Interest into multiple Purchaser Interests,
(ii) combine any such Purchaser Interest with one or more other Purchaser Interests that have a
Terminating CP Tranche ending on the same day as such Terminating CP Tranche or (iii) combine any
such Purchaser Interest with a new Purchaser Interest (other than a Purchaser Interest funded
substantially with Pooled Commercial Paper) to be purchased on the day such Terminating CP Tranche
ends, provided, that in no event may a Purchaser Interest of any Purchasers be combined with a
Purchaser Interest of any other Purchaser.

c The Administrative Seller shall, at least three (3) Business Days prior to the expiration of
any Terminating CP Tranche, give the applicable Company (or its agent) irrevocable notice of the
new CP (Tranche) Accrual Period associated with such Terminating CP Tranche and the amount of
Capital to be allocated to such new CP (Tranche) Accrual Period. The Administrative Seller shall
use its reasonable best efforts to give such notice such that the applicable Company (or its agent)
receives it no later than 12:00 noon (Chicago time) on the day such request is being made. Any
such request not received by the applicable Company by 1:00 pm (Chicago time) shall be deemed to be
received on the next succeeding Business Day.

FINANCIAL INSTITUTION FUNDING

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

15 Yield Payments. On the Settlement Date for each Purchaser Interest of the Financial
Institutions, the Sellers shall pay to the applicable Financial Institutions an aggregate amount

in accordance with Article II.

16 Selection and Continuation of Tranche Periods.

a In the case of Purchaser Interests of any Financial Institution in the Purchaser Group
of the Bank One Company, the Administrative Seller shall (and following the occurrence and during
the continuance of a Potential Amortization Event or an Amortization Event, shall with consultation
from, and approval by, the applicable Financial Institution), from time to time request Tranche
Periods for the Purchaser Interests of such Financial Institutions. In the case of Purchaser
Interests of any Financial Institution in the Purchaser Group of any Company other than the Bank
One Company, the Administrative Seller shall, with consultation from, and approval by, the
applicable Financial Institution (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), from time to time
request Tranche Periods for the Purchaser Interests of such Financial Institution. Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions of this subsection (a), if at any time the Financial Institutions shall
have a Purchaser Interest, the Administrative Seller shall always request Tranche Periods such that
at least one Tranche Period shall end on the date specified in clause (A) of the definition of
Settlement Date.

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

17 Financial Institution Discount Rates. The Administrative Seller may select the LIBO
Rate or the Prime Rate for each Purchaser Interest of the Financial Institutions. The
Administrative Seller shall: (i) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the expiration of any
Terminating Tranche with respect to which the LIBO Rate is being requested as a new Discount Rate
and (ii) at least one (1) Business Day prior to the expiration of any Terminating Tranche with
respect to which the Prime Rate is being requested as a new Discount Rate, give the applicable
Financial Institution irrevocable notice of the new Discount Rate for the Purchaser Interest
associated with such Terminating Tranche. The Administrative Seller shall use its reasonable best
efforts to give such notice such that the applicable Financial Institution receives it no later
than 12:00 noon (Chicago time) on the day such request is being made. Any such request not
received by the applicable Financial Institution by 1:00 pm (Chicago time) shall be deemed to be
received on the next succeeding Business Day. Until the Administrative Seller gives notice to the
applicable Financial Institution of another Discount Rate, the initial Discount Rate for any
Purchaser Interest transferred to the Financial Institutions pursuant to the terms and conditions
hereof (or transferred to, or funded by, any Funding Source pursuant to any Funding Agreement or to
or by any other Person) shall be the Prime Rate.

18 Suspension of the LIBO Rate.

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

14

 

fourth amended and restated

receivables purchase agreement

b If less than all of the Financial Institutions in such Financial Institution’s Purchaser
Group give a notice to the Agent pursuant to Section 4.5(a), each Financial Institution which gave
such a notice shall be obliged, at the request of the Administrative Seller, the Company in such
Financial Institution’s Purchaser Group or the Agent, to assign all of its rights and obligations
hereunder to (i) another Financial Institution in such Financial Institution’s Purchaser Group or
(ii) another funding entity nominated by the Administrative Seller or the Agent that is acceptable
to the Company in such Financial Institution’s Purchaser Group and willing to participate in this
Agreement through the Liquidity Termination Date in the place of such notifying Financial
Institution; provided that (i) the notifying Financial Institution receives payment in full,
pursuant to an Assignment Agreement, of an amount equal to such notifying Financial Institution’s
Pro Rata Share of the Capital and Yield owing to all of the Financial Institutions in such
Financial Institution’s Purchaser Group and all accrued but unpaid fees and other costs and
expenses payable in respect of its Pro Rata Share of the Purchaser Interests of the Financial
Institutions in such Financial Institution’s Purchaser Group, and (ii) the replacement Financial
Institution otherwise satisfies the requirements of Section 12.1(b).

Extension of Liquidity Termination Date.

c The Administrative Seller may request one or more 364-day extensions of the Liquidity
Termination Date then in effect by giving written notice of such request to the Agent (each such
notice an “Extension Notice”) at least 60 days prior to the Liquidity Termination Date then in
effect. After the Agent’s receipt of any Extension Notice, the Agent shall promptly advise each
Financial Institution of such Extension Notice. Each Financial Institution may, in its sole
discretion, by a written irrevocable notice (a “Consent Notice”) given to the Agent on or prior to
the 30th day prior to the Liquidity Termination Date then in effect (such period from
the date of the Extension Notice to such 30th day being referred to herein as the
“Consent Period”), consent to such extension of such Liquidity Termination Date; provided, however,
that such extension shall not be effective with respect to a Financial Institution if such
Financial Institution: (i) notifies the Agent during the Consent Period that such Financial
Institution does not wish to consent to such extension or (ii) fails to respond to the Agent within
the Consent Period (each Financial Institution that does not wish to consent to such extension or
fails to respond to the Agent within the Consent Period is herein referred to as a “Non-Renewing
Financial Institution”). If at the end of the Consent Period, there is no Non-Renewing

15

 

fourth amended and restated

receivables purchase agreement

 Financial
Institution then, the Liquidity Termination Date shall be irrevocably extended until the date that
is 364 days after the Liquidity Termination Date then in effect. If at the end of the Consent
Period there is a Non-Renewing Financial Institution, then unless such Non-Renewing Financial
Institution assigns its rights and obligations hereunder pursuant to Section 4.6(b) (each such
Non-Renewing Financial Institution whose rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other
applicable Transaction Documents are not so assigned is herein referred to as a “Terminating
Financial Institution”), the then existing Liquidity Termination Date shall be extended for an
additional 364 days with respect to all Financial Institutions other than the Terminating Financial
Institution; provided, however, that (i) the Purchase Limit shall be reduced on the Termination
Date applicable to each Terminating Financial Institution by an aggregate amount equal to the
Terminating Commitment Availability of each Terminating Financial Institution and shall thereafter
continue to be reduced by amounts equal to any reduction in the Capital of any Terminating
Financial Institution (after application of Collections pursuant to Sections 2.2 and 2.3), (ii) the
Company Purchase Limit of each Company shall be reduced by the aggregate amount of the Terminating
Commitment Amount of each Terminating Financial Institution in such Company’s Purchaser Group and
(iii) the Commitment of each Terminating Financial Institution shall be reduced to zero on the
Termination Date applicable to such Terminating Financial Institution. Upon reduction to zero of
the Capital of all of the Purchaser Interests of a Terminating Financial Institution (after
application of Collections thereto pursuant to Sections 2.2 and 2.3) all rights and obligations of
such Terminating Financial Institution hereunder shall be terminated and such Terminating Financial
Institution shall no longer be a “Financial Institution”; provided, however, that the provisions of
Article X shall continue in effect for its benefit with respect to Purchaser Interests held by such
Terminating Financial Institution prior to its termination as a Financial Institution.

d Upon receipt of notice from the Agent pursuant to Section 4.6(a) of any Non-Renewing
Financial Institution, one or more of the Financial Institutions (including any Non-Renewing
Financial Institution) may proffer to the Agent and the Company in such Non-Renewing Financial
Institution’s Purchaser Group the names of one or more institutions meeting the criteria set forth
in Section 12.1(b)(i) that are willing to accept assignments of and assume the rights and
obligations under this Agreement and the other applicable Transaction Documents of the Non-Renewing
Financial Institution. Provided the proffered name(s) are acceptable to the Agent and the Company
in such Non-Renewing Financial Institution’s Purchaser Group, the Agent shall notify

16

 

fourth amended and restated

receivables purchase agreement

 the remaining
Financial Institutions of such fact, and the then existing Liquidity Termination Date shall be
extended for an additional 364 days upon satisfaction of the conditions for an assignment in
accordance with Section 12.1, and the Commitment of each Non-Renewing Financial Institution shall
be reduced to zero.

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

Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended, or any successor statute. Such Seller Party is not an
“investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or any
successor statute.

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

under any Receivables Sale Agreement is or may be voidable under any section of the
Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978 (11 U.S.C. §§ 101 et seq.), as amended.

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

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

v Net Receivables Balance. Each Seller has determined that, immediately after giving effect to
each purchase hereunder, the Net Receivables Balance is at least equal to the sum of (i) the
Aggregate Capital, plus (ii) the Aggregate Reserves.

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

decrease the credit quality of any newly created Receivables. Except as provided in Section
8.2(d), the Servicers will not, and will not permit any Originator to, extend, amend or otherwise
modify the terms of any Receivable or the Writing or Contract related thereto other than in
accordance with such Originator’s Credit and Collection Policy.

d Sales, Liens. No Seller will sell, assign (by operation of law or otherwise) or otherwise
dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, or create or suffer to exist any Adverse Claim
upon (including, without limitation, the filing of any financing statement) or with respect to, any
Receivable, Related Security or Collections, or upon or with respect to the Writing or Contract
under which any Receivable arises, or any Lock-Box or Collection Account, or assign any right to
receive income with respect thereto (other than, in each case, the creation of the interests
therein in favor of the Agent and the Purchasers provided for herein), and each Seller will defend
the right, title and interest of the Agent and the Purchasers in, to and under any of the foregoing
property, against all claims of third parties claiming through or under such Seller or any
Originator. No Seller will create or suffer to exist any mortgage, pledge, security interest,
encumbrance, lien, charge or other similar arrangement on any of its inventory, the financing or
lease of which gives rise to any Receivable. Notwithstanding this Section 7.2(d), so long as no
Amortization Event or Potential Amortization Event exists, the Sellers collectively may, at their
discretion and in a single transaction occurring on a single day, sell all of the Fleming
Receivables to White Wave, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“White Wave”); provided that no later than
3 Business Days after such sale, each Seller shall deliver to the Agent a certificate executed by
an Authorized Officer of such Seller (A) stating that, with respect to all Fleming Receivables sold
in such sale, (I) neither Seller nor any Servicer (in its capacity as Servicer hereunder) has made,
and neither Seller nor the Servicer (in its capacity as Servicer hereunder) will make, any
representations or warranties in connection with such sale of Fleming Receivables, (II) both before
and after giving effect to such sale, no Amortization Event or Potential Amortization Event exists,

purchaser that is not an Affiliate of any Seller Party or Provider and (y) to receive advertising
trade credits in exchange for such Fleming Receivables, (V) such Fleming Receivables have been or
will be included as Charged-Off Receivables in at least one Monthly Report and (VI) White Wave has
given fair consideration and reasonably equivalent value to each Seller in consideration of such
sale of the Fleming Receivables, the cash purchase price for such Fleming Receivables is no less
than the fair market value to be paid to White Wave upon White Wave’s subsequent transfer of such
Fleming Receivables and the sale of such Fleming Receivables to White Wave was not made for or on
account of an antecedent debt, (B) setting forth the aggregate Outstanding Balance of all such
Fleming Receivables and (C) setting forth the aggregate purchase price paid for all such Fleming
Receivables. Upon any such sale of the Fleming Receivables in accordance with the terms of this
Section 7.2(d) and the Sellers’ receipt of the purchase price therefor in immediately available
funds in a Collection Account and Agent’s receipt of the certificate described above, such Fleming
Receivables shall be automatically released without any further action by any party hereto from the
security interest granted to the Agent for the ratable benefit of the Purchasers pursuant to
Section 14.14(b). For the avoidance of doubt, each party hereto agrees that the purchase price
paid upon any such sale of Fleming Receivables shall constitute Collections hereunder and shall be
applied in accordance with the terms hereof, including, without limitation, Article II.

e Net Receivables Balance. At no time prior to the Amortization Date shall any Seller permit
the Net Receivables Balance to be less than an amount equal to the sum of (i) the Aggregate Capital
plus (ii) the Aggregate Reserves.

f Termination Date Determination. No Seller will designate the Termination Date (as defined in
each Receivables Sale Agreement) under the Receivables Sale Agreement to which it is a party, or

Date arising pursuant to Section 5.1(d) of such Receivables Sale Agreement.

g Restricted Junior Payments. From and after the occurrence of any Amortization Event, no
Seller will make any Restricted Junior Payment if, after

39

giving effect thereto, such Seller would

ADMINISTRATION AND COLLECTION

25 Designation of Servicers. (a) The servicing, administration and collection of the
Receivables shall be conducted by such Person or Persons (each such Person, a “Servicer”) so
designated from time to time in accordance with this Section 8.1. Each of National Brand, Country
Fresh, Land-O-Sun, Southern Foods, GTL, Tuscan Dairies, each Dean Entity, each Additional Entity
and each New Entity is hereby designated as, and hereby agrees to perform the duties and
obligations of, Servicer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement with respect to the Receivables
originated by such entity. The Agent may, and at the direction of the Required Purchasers shall,
at any time following an Amortization Event, designate as Servicer any Person to succeed National
Brand, Country Fresh, Land-O-Sun, Southern Foods, GTL, Tuscan Dairies, any Dean Entity, any
Additional Entity or any New Entity, or any successor Servicer.

Without the prior written consent of the Agent and the Required Purchasers, neither National
Brand, Country Fresh, Land-O-Sun, Southern Foods, GTL, Tuscan Dairies, any Dean Entity, any
Additional Entity nor any New Entity shall be permitted to delegate any of its duties or
responsibilities as Servicer to any Person other than (i) a Seller and (ii) with respect to certain
Charged-Off Receivables, outside collection agencies in accordance with its customary practices.
No Seller shall be permitted to further delegate to any other Person any of the duties or
responsibilities of a Servicer delegated to it by National

40

 

fourth amended and restated

receivables purchase agreement

Brand, Country Fresh, Land-O-Sun,
Southern Foods, GTL, Tuscan Dairies, any Dean Entity, any Additional Entity or any New Entity. If
at any time following an Amortization Event the Agent shall designate as Servicer any Person other
than National Brand, Country Fresh, Land-O-Sun, Southern Foods, GTL, Tuscan Dairies, any Dean
Entity, any Additional Entity or any New Entity, all duties and responsibilities theretofore
delegated by National Brand, Country Fresh, Land-O-Sun, Southern Foods, GTL, Tuscan Dairies, any
Dean Entity, any Additional Entity or any New Entity to any Seller may, at the discretion of the
Agent, be terminated forthwith on notice given by the Agent to National Brand, Country Fresh,
Land-O-Sun, Southern Foods, GTL, Tuscan Dairies, any Dean Entity, any Additional Entity or any New
Entity, as applicable, and to the Administrative Seller.

Notwithstanding the foregoing subsection (b), (i) each of National Brand, Country Fresh,
Land-O-Sun, Southern Foods, GTL, Tuscan Dairies, each Dean Entity, each Additional Entity and each
New Entity shall be and remain primarily liable to the Agent and the Purchasers for the full and
prompt performance of all of its duties and responsibilities as a Servicer hereunder and (ii) the
Agent and the Purchasers shall be entitled to deal exclusively with National Brand, Country Fresh,
Land-O-Sun, Southern Foods, GTL, Tuscan Dairies, each Dean Entity, each Additional Entity and each
New Entity in matters relating to the discharge by a Servicer of its duties and responsibilities
hereunder. The Agent and the Purchasers shall not be required to give notice, demand or other
communication to any Person other than National Brand, Country Fresh, Land-O-Sun, Southern Foods,
GTL, Tuscan Dairies, each Dean Entity, each Additional Entity or each New Entity in order for
communication to a Servicer and its sub-servicer or other delegate with respect thereto to be
accomplished. Each of National Brand, Country Fresh, Land-O-Sun, Southern Foods, GTL, Tuscan
Dairies, each Dean Entity, each Additional Entity and each New Entity, at all times that it is a
Servicer, shall be responsible for providing any sub-servicer or other delegate of a Servicer with
any notice given to a Servicer under this Agreement.

Duties of Servicer. (b) Each Servicer shall take or cause to be taken all such actions
as may be necessary or advisable to collect each Receivable originated by such entity from time to
time, all in accordance in all material respects with applicable laws, rules and regulations, with
reasonable care and diligence, and in accordance in all material respects with the applicable
Originator’s Credit and Collection Policy.

41

 

 fourth amended and restated

receivables purchase agreement

Each Servicer will instruct all Obligors to pay all Collections with respect to the
Receivables originated by such entity directly to a Lock-Box or Collection Account; provided,
however, that to the extent that the Originator (other than a Local Originator) of the Receivable
giving rise to such Collections, as applicable, currently permits the Obligor of such Receivable to
pay such Collections to a local employee of such Originator, as applicable, such Servicer will
insure that such local employees remit such Collections to a local depository account no less
frequently than weekly, and within two (2) Business Days of such local employee’s deposit of such
Collections, such Servicer will cause such Collections to be deposited directly to a Lock-Box or
Collection Account. With respect to payments relating to Receivables that are remitted directly to
any Servicer, such Servicer will remit such payments (or will cause all such payments to be
remitted) directly to a Collection Bank and deposited into a Collection Account within two (2)
Business Days following receipt thereof, and, at all times prior to such remittance, such Servicer
will itself hold or, if applicable, will cause such payments to be held in trust for the exclusive
benefit of the Agent and the Purchasers. Each Servicer shall effect a Collection Account Agreement
substantially in the form of Exhibit VI with each bank party to a Collection Account at any time.
Prior to the delivery of any Collection Notice to any Collection Bank, in the case of any
remittances received in any Lock-Box or Collection Account that shall have been identified, to the
satisfaction of the applicable Servicer, to not constitute Collections or other proceeds of the
Receivables or the Related Security (which identification shall occur no later than two (2)
Business Days after such amounts are received therein), such Servicer shall promptly (and, in any
event, no later than one (1) Business Day after such identification) remit such items to the Person
identified to it as being the owner of such remittances and cause such amounts to be removed from
such Lock-Box or Collection Account. From and after the date the Agent delivers to any Collection
Bank a Collection Notice pursuant to Section 8.3, the Agent may request that the Servicers, and the
Servicers thereupon promptly shall instruct all Obligors with respect to the Receivables, to remit
all payments thereon to a new depositary account specified by the Agent and, at all times
thereafter, each Seller and the Servicers shall not deposit or otherwise credit, and shall not
permit any other Person to deposit or otherwise credit to such new depositary account any cash or
payment item other than Collections. 

42

 

 fourth amended and restated

receivables purchase agreement

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

The Servicers may, in accordance with the applicable Originator’s Credit and Collection Policy,
extend the maturity of any Receivable or adjust the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable as the
Servicers determine to be appropriate to maximize Collections thereof; provided, however, that such
extension or adjustment shall not alter the status of such Receivable as a Delinquent Receivable or
Charged-Off Receivable or limit the rights of the Agent or the Purchasers under this Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Amortization Event and until such time as the Aggregate Unpaids have been
indefeasibly paid in full, the Agent shall have the absolute and unlimited right to direct the
Servicers to commence or settle any legal action with respect to any Receivable or to foreclose
upon or repossess any Related Security.

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

43

 

 fourth amended and restated

receivables purchase agreement

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

Collection Notices . The Agent is authorized at any time to date and to deliver to the
Collection Banks the Collection Notices. Each Seller hereby agrees that, effective when the Agent
delivers such notice, the Agent (for the benefit of the Purchasers) shall have exclusive ownership
and sole “control” (within the meaning of Section 9-104 of the UCC of all applicable jurisdictions)
of each Lock-Box, the Collection Accounts and the amounts on deposit therein. In case any
authorized signatory of any Seller whose signature appears on a Collection Account Agreement shall
cease to have such authority before the delivery of such notice, such Collection Notice shall
nevertheless be valid as if such authority had remained in force. Each Seller hereby authorizes
the Agent, and agrees that the Agent shall be entitled to (i) endorse such Seller’s name on checks
and other instruments representing Collections, (ii) enforce the Receivables, the related Writings
and Contracts and the Related Security and (iii) take such action as shall be necessary or
desirable to cause all cash, checks and other instruments constituting Collections of Receivables
to come into the possession of the Agent rather than the Sellers or any Servicer.

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

Reports. The Servicers shall prepare and forward to the Agent and each Financial Institution (i)
on the 20th calendar day of each month and at such times as the Agent or the Required
Purchasers shall request, a Monthly Report and (ii) at such times as

44

 

 fourth amended and restated

receivables purchase agreement

the Agent or the Required
Purchasers shall request, a listing by Obligor of all Receivables together with an aging of such
Receivables. In addition, during any time when the long-term debt rating of Provider is rated Ba3
or lower by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. and BB- or lower by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group,
the Servicers shall prepare and forward to the Agent and each Financial Institution on Wednesday of
each calendar week, an abbreviated Monthly Report in a form acceptable to the Agent (each such
report, a “Weekly Report”) with respect to and as of the end of the immediately preceding calendar
week.

Servicing Fees. In consideration of each of National Brand’s, Country Fresh’s, Land-O-Sun’s,
Southern Foods’, GTL’s, Tuscan Dairies’, each Dean Entity’s, each Additional Entity’s and each New
Entity’s agreement to each act as a Servicer hereunder, the Purchasers hereby agree that, so long
as each of National Brand, Country Fresh, Land-O-Sun, Southern Foods, GTL, Tuscan Dairies, each
Dean Entity, each Additional Entity and each New Entity shall continue to perform as a Servicer
hereunder, Seller shall pay over to National Brand, Country Fresh, Land-O-Sun, Southern Foods, GTL,
Tuscan Dairies, each Dean Entity, each Additional Entity and each New Entity collectively, a fee
(the “Servicing Fee”) on each Settlement Date (other than a Settlement Date relating to a CP
(Tranche) Accrual Period) for the immediately preceding Settlement Period equal to 1% (one percent)
of the lesser of the (a) the average Net Receivables Balance during such Settlement Period and (b)
the average Capital of all Receivables during such period, as compensation for its servicing
activities. Such Servicing Fee shall be allocated among National Brand, Country Fresh, Land-O-Sun,
Southern Foods, GTL, Tuscan Dairies, each Dean Entity, each Additional Entity and each New Entity
as such parties shall mutually determine.

AMORTIZATION EVENTS

Amortization Events . The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall
constitute an Amortization Event:

Capital required hereunder when due, or (ii) to make any payment or deposit of any other amount

reorganization or relief of debtors, or seeking the entry of an order for relief or the appointment

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

Purchasers to the Sellers secured by the Receivables, the Related Security, the Collection Accounts
and the Collections;

provided, however, that nothing contained in this sentence shall limit the
liability of any Seller Party or limit the recourse of the Purchasers to any Seller Party for
amounts otherwise specifically provided to be paid by such Seller Party under the terms of this
Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing indemnification, each Seller shall
indemnify each Indemnified Party for Indemnified Amounts (including, without limitation, losses in
respect of uncollectible receivables, regardless of whether reimbursement therefor would constitute

connection with this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any other information or report

One Company, after the Original Closing Date with respect to any Funding Source relating to the
CL Company, after November 20, 2003 with respect to any Funding Source relating to the Rabo Company
or the Wachovia Company, or after the date hereof with respect to any other Funding Source, any
such Funding Source shall be charged any fee, expense or increased cost on account of the adoption
of any applicable law, rule or regulation (including any applicable law, rule or regulation
regarding capital adequacy), any accounting principles or any change in any of the foregoing, or
any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by the Financial Accounting Standards
Board (“FASB”), any governmental authority, any central bank or comparable agency charged with the
interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance with any request or directive (whether or
not having the force of law) of any such authority or agency (a “Regulatory Change”): (i) that
subjects any Funding Source to any charge or withholding on or with respect to any Funding
Agreement or a Funding Source’s obligations under a Funding

Agreement, or on or with respect to the
Receivables, or changes the basis of taxation of payments to any Funding Source of any amounts
payable under any Funding Agreement (except for changes in the rate of tax on the overall net
income of a Funding Source or taxes excluded by Section 10.1) or (ii) that imposes, modifies or
deems applicable any reserve, assessment, insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement
against assets of, deposits with or for the account of a Funding Source, or credit extended by a
Funding Source pursuant to a Funding Agreement or (iii) that imposes any other condition the result
of which is to increase the cost to a Funding Source of performing its obligations under a Funding
Agreement, or to reduce the rate of return on a Funding Source’s capital as a consequence of its
obligations under a Funding Agreement, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by
a Funding Source under a Funding Agreement or to require any payment calculated by reference to the
amount of interests or loans held or interest received by it, then, upon demand by the Agent, each
Seller shall pay to the Agent, for the benefit of the relevant Funding Source, such amounts charged
to such Funding Source or such amounts to otherwise compensate such Funding Source for such
increased cost or such reduction. For the avoidance of doubt, if the issuance of FASB
Interpretation No. 46, or any other change in accounting standards or the issuance of any other
pronouncement, release or interpretation, causes or requires the consolidation of all or a portion
of the assets and liabilities of any Company or any Seller with the assets and liabilities of the
Agent, any Financial Institution or any other Funding Source, such event shall constitute a
circumstance on which such Funding Source may base a claim for reimbursement under this
Section.

If less than all of the Financial Institutions are subject to any Regulatory Change giving rise
to a demand by the Agent pursuant to Section 10.2(a), each Financial Institution so subject, at the
request of the Administrative Seller, the Company in such Financial Institution’s Purchaser Group
or the Agent, shall assign all of its rights and obligations hereunder to (i) another Financial
Institution in such Financial Institution’s Purchaser Group or (ii) another funding entity
nominated by the Administrative Seller or the Agent that is acceptable to the Company in such
Financial Institution’s Purchaser

54

 

 fourth amended and restated

receivables purchase agreement

 Group and willing to participate in this Agreement through the
Liquidity Termination Date in the place of such notifying Financial Institution and that is not so
subject; provided that (i) the subject Financial Institution receives payment in full, pursuant to
an Assignment Agreement, of an amount equal to such notifying Financial Institution’s Pro Rata
Share of the Capital and Yield owing to all of the Financial Institutions in such Financial
Institution’s Purchaser Group and all accrued but unpaid fees and other costs and expenses payable
in respect of its Pro Rata Share of the Purchaser Interests of the Financial Institutions in such
Financial Institution’s Purchaser Group, and (ii) the replacement Financial Institution otherwise
satisfies the requirements of Section 12.1(b).

Other Costs and Expenses. Each Seller shall reimburse the Agent and each Purchaser on demand for
all costs and out-of-pocket expenses in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery and
administration of this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby and the other documents to
be delivered hereunder, including without limitation, the cost of any Purchaser’s auditors auditing
the books, records and procedures of any Seller Party, reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses
of legal counsel for each Purchaser and the Agent (which such counsel may be employees of any
Purchaser or the Agent) with respect thereto and with respect to advising any Purchaser or the
Agent as to their respective rights and remedies under this Agreement. Each Seller shall reimburse
the Agent on demand for any and all costs and expenses of the Agent and the Purchasers, if any,
including reasonable counsel fees and expenses in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement
and the other documents delivered hereunder and in connection with any restructuring or workout of
this Agreement or such documents, or the administration of this Agreement following an Amortization
Event. Each Seller shall reimburse each Company on demand for all other costs and expenses
incurred by such Company (“Other Costs”), including, without limitation, the cost of auditing such
Company’s books by certified public accountants, the cost of rating the Commercial Paper by
independent financial rating
agencies, and the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel for such Company or any
counsel for any shareholder of such Company with respect to advising such Company or such
shareholder as to matters relating to such Company’s operations.

 fourth amended and restated

receivables purchase agreement

Allocations. Each Company shall allocate the liability for Other Costs among the Sellers and other
Persons with whom such Company has entered into agreements to purchase interests in receivables
(“Other Sellers”). If any Other Costs are attributable to the Sellers and not attributable to any
Other Seller, the Sellers shall be solely liable for such Other Costs. However, if Other Costs are
attributable to Other Sellers and not attributable to the Sellers, such Other Sellers shall be
solely liable for such Other Costs. All allocations to be made pursuant to the foregoing
provisions of this Article X shall be made by the applicable Company in its sole discretion and
shall be binding on the Sellers and the Servicers.

THE AGENT

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

Delegation of Duties. The Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and each other
Transaction Document by or through agents or

56

 

 fourth amended and restated

receivables purchase agreement

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

Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees
shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in
connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (except for its, their or such
Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of
the Purchasers for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Seller Party
contained in this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any certificate, report, statement
or other document referred to or provided for in, or received under or in connection with, this
Agreement, or any other Transaction Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness,
genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement, or any other Transaction Document or
any other document furnished in connection herewith or therewith, or for any failure of any Seller
Party to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder, or for the satisfaction of any condition
specified in Article VI, or for the perfection, priority, condition, value or sufficiency of any
collateral pledged in connection herewith. The Agent shall not be under any obligation to any
Purchaser to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements
or covenants contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or
to inspect the properties, books or records of the Seller Parties. The Agent shall not be deemed
to have knowledge of any Amortization Event or Potential Amortization Event unless the Agent has
received notice from a Seller or a Purchaser.

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

57

 

 fourth amended and restated

receivables purchase agreement

from acting, in accordance with a request of the Required Purchasers or all of the
Purchasers, as applicable, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto
shall be binding upon all the Purchasers.

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

Reimbursement and Indemnification. The Financial Institutions agree to reimburse and indemnify the
Agent and its officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents, ratably based on the
ratio of each Financial Institution’s Commitment to the aggregate Commitment, to the extent not
paid or reimbursed by the Seller Parties (i) for any amounts for which the
Agent, acting in its capacity as Agent, is entitled to reimbursement by the Seller Parties
hereunder and (ii) for any other expenses incurred by the Agent, in its capacity as Agent and
acting on behalf of the Purchasers, in connection with the administration and enforcement of this
Agreement and the other Transaction Documents; provided that the Agent shall not be entitled to any
indemnity or reimbursement under this Section 11.6 for any expenses resulting from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent, as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment
rendered by a court of competent jurisdiction.

Agent in Its Individual Capacity . The Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept
deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Seller or any Affiliate of any
Seller as though the Agent were not the Agent hereunder. With respect to the acquisition of
Purchaser Interests pursuant to this Agreement,

58

 

 fourth amended and restated

receivables purchase agreement

the Agent shall have the same rights and powers
under this Agreement in its individual capacity as any Purchaser and may exercise the same as
though it were not the Agent, and the terms “Financial Institution,” “Related Financial
Institution,” “Purchaser,” “Financial Institutions,” “Related Financial Institutions,” and
“Purchasers” shall include the Agent in its individual capacity.

Successor Agent. The Agent may, upon five days’ notice to the Administrative Seller and the
Purchasers, and the Agent will, upon the direction of all of the Purchasers (other than the Agent,
in its individual capacity) resign as Agent. If the Agent shall resign, then the Required
Purchasers during such five-day period shall appoint, with the consent of the Administrative
Seller, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, from among the Purchasers a
successor agent. If for any reason no successor Agent is appointed by the Required Purchasers
during such five-day period, then effective upon the termination of such five day period, the
Purchasers shall perform all of the duties of the Agent hereunder and under the other Transaction
Documents and the Sellers and the Servicers (as applicable) shall make all payments in respect of
the Aggregate Unpaids directly to the applicable Purchasers and for all purposes shall deal
directly with the Purchasers. After the effectiveness of any retiring Agent’s resignation
hereunder as Agent, the retiring
Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Transaction
Documents and the provisions of this Article XI and Article X shall continue in effect for its
benefit with respect to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under
this Agreement and under the other Transaction Documents.

ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATIONS

Assignments. (c) Each Seller Party, the Agent and each Purchaser hereby agree and consent to
the complete or partial assignment by any Company of all or any portion of its rights under,
interest in, title to and obligations under this Agreement to any Funding Source pursuant to any
Funding Agreement or to any other Person, and upon such assignment, such Company shall be released
from its obligations so assigned. Further, each Seller Party, the Agent and each Purchaser hereby
agree that any assignee of any Company of this Agreement or of all or any of the Purchaser

59

 

 fourth amended and restated

receivables purchase agreement

Interests of any Company shall have all of the rights and benefits under this Agreement as if the
term “Company” explicitly referred to and included such party (provided that (i) the Purchaser
Interests of any such assignee that is a Company or a commercial paper conduit shall accrue CP
Costs based on such Company’s Company Costs or on such commercial paper conduit’s cost of funds,
respectively, and (ii) the Purchaser Interests of any other such assignee shall accrue Yield
pursuant to Section 4.1), and no such assignment shall in any way impair the rights and benefits of
any Company hereunder. Neither any Seller nor any Servicer shall have the right to assign its
rights or obligations under this Agreement.

Any Financial Institution may at any time and from time to time assign to one or more Persons
(“Purchasing Financial Institutions”) all or any part of its rights and obligations under this
Agreement pursuant to an assignment agreement, substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit VII
hereto (the “Assignment Agreement”) executed by such Purchasing Financial Institution and such
selling Financial Institution. The consent of the Company in such selling Financial Institution’s
Purchaser Group and the consent of the Administrative Seller shall be required prior to the
effectiveness of any such assignment; provided, however, that in the event the Administrative
Seller fails to consent to any proposed Purchasing Financial Institution during the thirty
(30) day period following the Administrative Seller’s initial receipt of a request for its
consent to any such assignment, only the consent of the Company in such selling Financial
Institution’s Purchaser Group shall thereafter be required with respect to any such assignment.
Each assignee of a Financial Institution must (i) have a short-term debt rating of A-1 or better by
Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group and P-1 by Moody’s Investor Service, Inc. and (ii) agree to deliver
to the Agent, promptly following any request therefor by the Agent or the Company in such selling
Financial Institution’s Purchaser Group, an enforceability opinion in form and substance
satisfactory to the Agent and such Company (such opinion may be delivered by in-house counsel of
such assignee). Upon delivery of the executed Assignment Agreement to the Agent, such selling
Financial Institution shall be released from its obligations hereunder to the extent of such
assignment. Thereafter the Purchasing Financial Institution shall for all purposes be a Financial
Institution party to this Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Financial
Institution (including, without limitation, the applicable obligations of a Related Financial
Institution) under this Agreement to the same extent as if it were an original party hereto and no
further consent or action by any Seller, the Purchasers or the Agent shall be required.

60

 

 fourth amended and restated

receivables purchase agreement

Each of the Financial Institutions agrees that in the event that it shall cease to have a
short-term debt rating of A-1 or better by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group and P-1 by Moody’s
Investor Service, Inc. (or, solely in the case of CLNY, a short-term debt rating of A-2 or better
by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group and P-2 by Moody’s Investor Service, Inc.) (an “Affected
Financial Institution”), such Affected Financial Institution shall be obliged, at the request of
the Company in such Affected Financial Institution’s Purchaser Group or the Agent, to assign all of
its rights and obligations hereunder to (x) another Financial Institution in such Affected
Financial Institution’s Purchaser Group or (y) another funding entity nominated by the Agent and
acceptable to the Company in such Affected Financial Institution’s Purchaser Group, and willing to
participate in this Agreement through the Liquidity Termination Date in the place of such Affected
Financial Institution; provided that the Affected Financial Institution receives payment in full,
pursuant to an Assignment Agreement, of an amount equal to such Financial Institution’s Pro Rata
Share of the Aggregate Capital and Yield owing to the Financial Institutions in such Affected
Financial Institution’s Purchaser Group and all accrued but unpaid fees and other costs and
expenses payable in respect of its Pro Rata Share of the Purchaser Interests of the Financial
Institutions in such Affected Financial Institution’s Purchaser Group.

Participations. Any Financial Institution may, in the ordinary course of its business at
any time sell to one or more Persons (each a “Participant”) participating interests in its
Pro Rata Share of the Purchaser Interests of the Financial Institutions in such Financial
Institution’s Purchaser Group or any other interest of such Financial Institution hereunder.
Notwithstanding any such sale by a Financial Institution of a participating interest to a
Participant, such Financial Institution’s rights and obligations under this Agreement shall remain
unchanged, such Financial Institution shall remain solely responsible for the performance of its
obligations hereunder, and each Seller, each Company and the Agent shall continue to deal solely
and directly with such Financial Institution in connection with such Financial Institution’s rights
and obligations under this Agreement. Each Financial Institution agrees that any agreement between
such Financial Institution and any such Participant in respect of such participating interest shall
not restrict such Financial Institution’s right to agree to any amendment, supplement, waiver or
modification to this Agreement, except for any amendment, supplement, waiver or modification
described in Section 14.1(b)(i).

INTENTIONALLY OMITTED

MISCELLANEOUS

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

No provision of this Agreement may be amended, supplemented, modified or
waived except in writing in accordance with the provisions of this Section 14.1(b). Each
Company, each Seller and the Agent, at the direction of the Required Purchasers, may enter into
written modifications or waivers of any provisions of this Agreement, provided, however, that with
respect to any modification or waiver, the Rating Agencies then rating the commercial paper notes
of the Rabo Company and the CL Company shall have confirmed that the ratings of the commercial
paper notes of the Rabo Company and the CL Company will not be downgraded or withdrawn as a result
of such modification or waiver; and provided, further, that no such modification or waiver shall:

without the consent of each affected Purchaser, (A) extend the Liquidity Termination Date or
the date of any payment or deposit of Collections by any Seller or any Servicer, (B) reduce the
rate or extend the time of payment of Yield or any CP Costs (or any component of Yield or CP

any

62

defined term used directly or indirectly in such defined term) used in clauses (A) through (G)
above in a manner that would circumvent the intention of the restrictions set forth in such
clauses; or

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

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) without the consent of the Financial Institutions, but with
the consent of the Administrative Seller, the Agent may amend this Agreement solely to add
additional Persons as Financial Institutions hereunder and (ii) the Agent, the Required Purchasers
and each Company may enter into amendments to modify any of the terms or provisions of Article
XI, Article XII, Section 14.13 or any other provision of this Agreement without
the consent of any Seller Party, provided that such amendment has no negative impact upon such
Seller Party and provided further that the Rating Agencies then rating the commercial paper notes
of the Rabo Company and the CL Company shall have confirmed that the ratings of the commercial
paper notes of the Rabo Company and the CL Company will not be downgraded or withdrawn as a result
of such amendments. Any modification or waiver made in accordance with this Section 14.1
shall apply to
each of the Purchasers equally and shall be binding upon each Seller Party, the Purchasers and the
Agent.

Notices. Except as provided in this Section 14.2, all communications and notices provided for
hereunder shall be in writing (including bank wire, telecopy or electronic facsimile transmission
or similar writing) and shall be given to the other parties hereto at their respective addresses or
telecopy numbers set forth on Schedule E hereto or at such other address or telecopy number as such
Person may hereafter specify for the purpose of notice to each of the other parties hereto. Each
such notice or other communication shall be effective (i) if given by telecopy, upon the receipt
thereof, (ii) if given by mail, three (3) Business Days after the time such communication is
deposited in the mail with first class postage prepaid or (iii) if given by any other means, when
received at the address specified in this Section 14.2. Each Seller hereby authorizes the Agent
and the Purchasers to effect purchases and, selections of CP (Tranche) Accrual Periods, Tranche
Periods and Discount Rates based on telephonic notices made by any Person whom the Agent or
applicable Purchaser in good faith believes to be acting on behalf of such Seller. Each Seller
agrees to deliver promptly to the Agent and each applicable Purchaser a written confirmation of
each telephonic notice signed by an authorized officer of such Seller; provided, however, the
absence of such confirmation shall not affect the validity of such notice. If the written
confirmation differs from the action taken by

63

 

 fourth amended and restated

receivables purchase agreement

the Agent or applicable Purchaser, the records of the
Agent or applicable Purchaser shall govern absent manifest error.

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

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

If any Seller Party fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder, the Agent or any
Purchaser may (but shall not be required to) perform, or cause performance of, such obligations,
and the Agent’s or such Purchaser’s costs and

64

 

 fourth amended and restated

receivables purchase agreement

expenses incurred in connection therewith shall be
payable by the Sellers as provided in Section 10.3. Each Seller Party irrevocably authorizes the
Agent at any time and from time to time in the sole discretion of the Agent, and appoints the Agent
as its attorney-in-fact, to act on behalf of such Seller Party (i) to execute on behalf of any
Seller as debtor and to file financing or continuation statements (and amendments thereto and
assignments thereof) necessary or desirable in the Agent’s sole discretion to perfect and to
maintain the perfection and priority of the interest of the Purchasers in the Receivables and (ii)
to file a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement
with respect to the Receivables as a financing statement in such offices as the Agent in its sole
discretion deems necessary or desirable to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of
the interests of the Purchasers in the Receivables. The financing statements described in this
Section14.4(b) may describe the collateral in the same manner as described herein or may contain an
indication or description of collateral that describes such property in any other manner as the
Agent may determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, is necessary, advisable or prudent to
ensure the perfection and priority of the
interests of the Purchasers in the Receivables, the Related Security and the Collections, and
of the security interest granted hereunder, including, without limitation, describing such property
as “all assets” or “all personal property” or “all assets, whether now owned or hereafter acquired”
or “all personal property of the debtor, whether now owned or hereafter acquired”.This appointment
is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable. The authorization set forth in the second sentence
of this Section 14.4(b) is intended to meet all requirements for authorization by a debtor under
Article 9 of any applicable enactment of the UCC, including, without limitation, Section 9-509
thereof.

Confidentiality. (f) Each Seller Party and each Purchaser shall maintain and shall cause each of
its employees and officers to maintain the confidentiality of this Agreement and the other
confidential or proprietary information with respect to the Agent and each Purchaser and their
respective businesses obtained by it or them in connection with the structuring, negotiating and
execution of the transactions contemplated herein, except that such Seller Party and such Purchaser
and its officers and employees may disclose such information to such Seller Party’s and such
Purchaser’s external accountants and attorneys and as required by any applicable law or order of
any judicial or administrative proceeding.

Markets, LLC or CLNY acts as the administrative agent and to any officers, directors, employees,
outside accountants and attorneys of any of the foregoing. In addition, the Purchasers and the
Agent may disclose any such nonpublic information pursuant to any law, rule, regulation, direction,
request or order of any judicial, administrative or regulatory authority or proceedings (whether or
not having the force or effect of law).

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

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

Integration; Binding Effect; Survival of Terms.

This Agreement and each other Transaction Document contain the final and complete
integration of all prior expressions by the parties hereto with respect

67

 

fourth amended and restated

receivables purchase agreement

to the subject matter
hereof and shall constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the
subject matter hereof superseding all prior oral or written understandings.

This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective successors and permitted assigns (including any trustee in bankruptcy). This Agreement
shall create and constitute the continuing obligations of the parties hereto in accordance with its
terms and shall remain in full force and effect until terminated in accordance with its terms;
provided, however, that the rights and remedies with respect to (i) any breach of any
representation and warranty made by any Seller Party pursuant to Article V, (ii) the
indemnification and payment provisions of Article X, and Sections 14.5 and 14.6 shall be continuing
and shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

Counterparts; Severability; Section References. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so
executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute
one and the same Agreement. Any provisions of this Agreement that are prohibited or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of
such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any
such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Unless otherwise expressly indicated, all
references herein to “Article,” “Section,” “Schedule” or “Exhibit” shall mean articles and sections
of, and schedules and exhibits to, this Agreement.

Bank One Roles. Each of the Purchasers acknowledges that Bank One acts, or may in the future act,
(i) as administrative agent for the Bank One Company or any Financial Institution in the Bank One
Company’s Purchaser Group, (ii) as issuing and paying agent for certain Commercial Paper, (iii) to
provide credit or liquidity enhancement for the timely payment for certain Commercial Paper and
(iv) to provide other services from time to time for the Bank One Company or any Financial
Institution in the Bank One Company’s Purchaser Group (collectively, the “Bank One Roles”).
Without limiting the generality of this Section 14.13, each Purchaser hereby acknowledges and
consents to any and all Bank One Roles and agrees that in connection with any Bank One Role, Bank
One may take, or refrain

68

 

fourth amended and restated

receivables purchase agreement

from taking, any action that it, in its discretion, deems appropriate,
including, without limitation, in its role as administrative agent for the Bank One Company.

Characterization. (g) It is the intention of the parties hereto that each purchase hereunder shall
constitute and be treated as an absolute and irrevocable sale, which purchase shall provide the
applicable Purchaser with the full benefits of ownership of the applicable Purchaser Interest.
Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, each sale of a Purchaser Interest hereunder is
made without recourse to any Seller; provided, however, that (i) each Seller shall be liable to
each Purchaser and the Agent for all representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities made by
such Seller pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and (ii) such sale does not constitute and is
not intended to result in an assumption by any Purchaser or the Agent or any assignee thereof of
any obligation of any Seller or any Originator or any other Person arising in connection with the
Receivables, the Related Security, or the related Writings or Contracts, or any other obligations
of any Seller or any Originator.

In addition to any ownership interest that the Agent may from time to time acquire pursuant
hereto, each Seller hereby grants to the Agent for the ratable benefit of the Purchasers a valid
and perfected security interest in all of such Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under
all Receivables now existing or hereafter arising, the Collections, each Lock-Box, each Collection
Account, all Related Security, all other rights and payments relating to such Receivables, and all
proceeds of any thereof prior to all other liens on and security interests therein to secure the
prompt and complete payment of the Aggregate Unpaids. The Agent and the Purchasers shall have, in
addition to the rights and remedies that they may have under this Agreement, all other rights and
remedies provided to a secured creditor under the UCC and other applicable law, which rights and
remedies shall be cumulative.

Withholding. Any Purchaser that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of
America, or a state thereof, agrees to deliver to the Agent (with copies to Seller) two duly
completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8BEN or W-8ECI, certifying in
either case that such Purchaser is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without
deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes.

[Intentionally
Omitted].

Confirmation and Ratification of Terms.

Upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, each reference to the Original Agreement in any other
Transaction Document, and any document, instrument or agreement executed and/or delivered in
connection with the Original Agreement or any other Transaction Document, shall mean and be a
reference to this Agreement.

The other Transaction Documents and all agreements, instruments and 

documents executed or delivered in connection with the Original Agreement or any other
Transaction Document shall each be deemed to be amended to the extent necessary, if any, to give
effect to the provisions of this Agreement, as the same may be amended, modified, supplemented or
restated from time to time.

The effect of this Agreement is to amend and restate the Original Agreement in its entirety,
and to the extent that any rights, benefits or provisions in favor of the Agent or any Purchaser
existed in the Original Agreement and continue to exist in this Agreement without any written
waiver of any such rights, benefits or provisions prior to the date hereof, then such rights,
benefits or provisions are acknowledged to be and to continue to be effective from and after June
30, 2000. This Agreement is not a novation.

The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that any and all rights, remedies and payment
provisions under the Original Agreement, including, without limitation, any and all rights,
remedies and payment provisions with respect to (i) any representation and warranty made or deemed
to be made pursuant to the Original Agreement, or (ii) any indemnification provision, shall
continue and survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement.

The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that any and all amounts owing as or for Capital,
Yield, CP Costs, fees, expenses or otherwise under or pursuant to the Original Agreement,
immediately prior to the effectiveness of this

70

 

fourth amended and restated

receivables purchase agreement

Agreement shall be owing as or for Capital, Yield,
CP Costs, fees, expenses or otherwise, respectively, under or pursuant to this Agreement.

Excess Funds. Each of the Sellers, each Servicer, each Purchaser and the Agent agrees that any
Company shall be liable for any claims that such party may have against such Company only to the
extent that such Company has funds in excess of those funds necessary to pay matured and maturing
Commercial Paper of such Company and to the extent such excess funds are insufficient to satisfy
the obligations of such Company hereunder, such Company shall have no liability with respect to any
amount of such obligations remaining unpaid and such unpaid amount shall not constitute a claim
against such Company. Any and all claims against any Company
shall be subordinate to the
claims against such Company of the holders of such Company’s Commercial Paper and any Person
providing liquidity support to such Company.

Administrative Seller. Each Seller hereby irrevocably appoints Dairy Group as its agent and
attorney-in-fact (the “Administrative Seller”) which appointment shall remain in full force and
effect unless and until the Agent shall have received prior written notice signed by each of the
Sellers that such appointment has been revoked and that another Seller has been appointed the
Administrative Seller. Each Seller hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative
Seller (i) to provide the Agent with all Purchase Notices for the benefit of any Seller and all
other notices and instructions under this Agreement, (ii) to receive all notices and instructions
from the Agent or any Purchaser hereunder and (iii) to exercise such other powers as are reasonably
incidental thereto to carry out the purposes of this Agreement.

Joint and Several.

Each of the Sellers is accepting joint and several liability hereunder and under the other
Transaction Documents in consideration of the financial accommodations to be provided by the
Purchasers under this Agreement, for the mutual benefit, directly and indirectly, of each of the
Sellers and in consideration of the undertakings of the other Seller to accept joint and several
liability for the Aggregate Unpaids.

71

 

fourth amended and restated

receivables purchase agreement

Each of the Sellers, jointly and severally, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally accepts, not
merely as a surety but also as a co-debtor, joint and several liability with the other Seller, with
respect to the payment and performance of all of the Aggregate Unpaids, it being the intention of
the parties hereto that all the Aggregate Unpaids shall be the joint and several obligations of
each of the Sellers without preferences or distinction between them.

Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, each Seller hereby
waives notice of acceptance of its joint and several liability, notice of the occurrence of any
Amortization Event or Potential Amortization Event, or of any demand for any payment under this
Agreement, notice of any action at any time taken or omitted by the Agent or any Purchaser under or
in respect of the Aggregate Unpaids, any requirement of diligence or to mitigate damages and,
generally, to the extent permitted by applicable law, all demands, notices and other formalities of
every kind in connection with this Agreement (except as otherwise provided in this Agreement).
Each Seller hereby assents to, and waives notice of, any extension or postponement of the time for
the payment of any of the Aggregate Unpaids, the acceptance of any payment of any of the Aggregate
Unpaids, the acceptance of any partial payment thereon, any waiver, consent or other action or
acquiescence by the Agent or any Purchaser at any time or times in respect of any default by any
Seller in the performance or satisfaction of any term, covenant, condition or provision of this
Agreement, any and all other indulgences whatsoever by the Agent or any Purchaser in respect of any
of the Aggregate Unpaids, and the taking, addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part,
at any time or times, of any security for any of the Aggregate Unpaids or the addition,
substitution or release, in whole or in part, of any Seller. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, each Seller assents to any other action or delay in acting or failure to act on the
part of the Agent or any Purchaser with respect to the failure by any Seller to comply with any of
its respective obligations, it being the intention of each Seller that, so long as any of the
Aggregate Unpaids hereunder remain unsatisfied, the obligations of such Seller under this Section
14.19 shall not be discharged except by performance and then only to the extent of such
performance. The obligations of each Seller under this Section 14.19 shall not be diminished or
rendered unenforceable by any winding up, reorganization, arrangement, liquidation, reconstruction
or similar proceeding with respect to any Seller or the Agent or any Purchaser.

72

 

fourth amended and restated

receivables purchase agreement

Each Seller represents and warrants to the Agent and the Purchasers that such Seller is
currently informed of the financial condition of the other Seller and of all other circumstances
which a diligent inquiry would reveal and which bear upon the risk of nonpayment of the Aggregate
Unpaids. Each Seller hereby covenants that such Seller will continue to keep informed of the other
Seller’s financial condition, the financial condition of other guarantors, if any, and of all other
circumstances which bear upon the risk of nonpayment or nonperformance of the Aggregate
Unpaids.

Each Seller agrees that the Agent and the Purchasers may, in their sole and absolute
discretion, select the Receivables of any one of the Sellers for sale or application to the
Aggregate Unpaids, without regard to the ownership of such Receivables, and shall not be required
to make such selection ratably from the Receivables owned by any of the Sellers.

The provisions of this Section 14.19 are made for the benefit of the Agent, the Purchasers and
their respective successors and assigns, and may be enforced by it or them from time to time
against any or all of the Sellers as often as occasion therefor may arise and without requirement
on the part of the Agent, any Purchasers or any such successor or assign first to marshal any of
its or their claims or to exercise any of its or their rights against any of the other Sellers or
to exhaust any remedies available to it or them against any of the other Sellers or to resort to
any other source or means of obtaining payment of any of the Aggregate Unpaids hereunder or to
elect any other remedy. The provisions of this Section 14.19 shall remain in effect until all of
the Aggregate Unpaids shall have been paid in full or otherwise fully satisfied. If at any time,
any payment, or any part thereof, made in respect of any of the Aggregate Unpaids, is rescinded or
must otherwise be restored or returned by the Agent or any Purchaser upon the insolvency,
bankruptcy or reorganization of any of the Sellers, or otherwise, the provisions of this Section
14.19 will forthwith be reinstated in effect, as though such payment had not been made.

Each Seller hereby agrees that it will not enforce any of its rights of contribution or
subrogation against the other Seller with respect to any liability incurred by it hereunder or
under any of the other Transaction Documents, any payments made by it to the Agent or any Purchaser
with respect to any of the

73

 

fourth amended and restated

receivables purchase agreement

Aggregate Unpaids or any collateral security therefor until such time as
all of the Aggregate Unpaids have been paid in full in cash. Any claim which any Seller may have
against any other Seller with respect to any payments to the Agent or any Purchaser hereunder or
under any other Transaction Documents are hereby expressly made subordinate and junior in right of
payment, without limitation as to any increases in the Aggregate Unpaids arising hereunder or
thereunder, to the prior payment in full in cash of the Aggregate Unpaids and, in the event of any
insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar proceeding under
the laws of any jurisdiction relating to any Seller, its debts or its assets, whether voluntary or
involuntary, all such Aggregate Unpaids shall be paid in full in cash before any payment or distribution of
any character, whether in cash, securities or other property, shall be made to any other Seller
therefor.

Each of the Sellers hereby agrees that, after the occurrence and during the continuance of any
Amortization Event or Potential Amortization Event, the payment of any amounts due with respect to
the indebtedness owing by any Seller to any other Seller is hereby subordinated to the prior
payment in full in cash of the Aggregate Unpaids. Each Seller hereby agrees that after the
occurrence and during the continuance of any Amortization Event or Potential Amortization Event,
such Seller will not demand, sue for or otherwise attempt to collect any indebtedness of any other
Seller owing to such Seller until the Aggregate Unpaids shall have been paid in full in cash. If,
notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, such Seller shall collect, enforce or receive any amounts
in respect of such indebtedness, such amounts shall be collected, enforced and received by such
Seller as trustee for the Agent and the Purchasers, and such Seller shall deliver any such amounts
to the Agent for application to the Aggregate Unpaids in accordance with Article II.

Assignments by Dairy Group. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.2(d), the Agent and the
Purchasers hereby consent to the assignment by Dairy Group of all of its right, title and interest
in and to the Lock-Boxes and Collection Accounts identified in the Acknowledgments and Amendments
to National Brand Group or Dairy Group II, as applicable, pursuant to such Acknowledgments and
Amendments; provided, that in each case, such property shall be sold and assigned to Dairy Group II
or National Brand Group, as applicable, subject to the Agent’s lien hereunder and such lien shall
continue to be in full force and effect.

Purchaser Interest multiplied by a per annum rate equivalent to the “weighted average cost” (as
defined below) related to the issuance of Commercial Paper of such Pool Company that is allocated,
in whole or in part, to fund such Pool Company’s Pro Rata Share of Aggregate Capital (and which may
also be allocated in part to the funding of other assets of such Pool

Exh. I-6

 

fourth amended and restated

receivables purchase agreement

Company); provided, however, that if any component of such rate is a discount
rate, in calculating such rate for such Pool Company’s Pro Rata Share of the Aggregate Capital for
such date, the rate used to calculate such component of such rate shall be a rate resulting from
converting such discount rate to an interest bearing equivalent rate per annum. As used in this
definition, the “weighted average cost” shall consist of (x) the actual interest rate paid to
purchasers of Commercial Paper issued by such Pool Company, (y) the costs associated with the
issuance of such Commercial Paper (including dealer fees and commissions to placement agents), and
(z) interest on other borrowing or funding sources by such Pool Company, including to fund small or
odd dollar amounts that are not easily accommodated in the commercial paper market;

          (iii) for any Purchaser Interest purchased by the CL Company, for any CP (Tranche) Accrual

equal to the sum of (i) the rate or, if more than one rate, the weighted average of the rates,
determined by converting to an interest-bearing equivalent rate per annum the discount rate (or
rates) at which Commercial Paper of the CL Company having a term equal to such CP (Tranche) Accrual
Period and to be issued to fund or to maintain such Purchaser Interest by the CL Company
(including, without limitation, the related Capital and accrued and unpaid interest thereon) may be
sold by any placement agent or commercial paper dealer selected by CLNY (or other agent of the CL
Company) for the CL Company, as agreed between each such placement agent or dealer and CLNY (or
such other agent); plus, (ii) the commissions and charges charged by such placement agent
or dealer with respect to such Commercial Paper of the CL Company, expressed as a percentage of
such face amount, converted to an interest-bearing equivalent rate per annum;

          (iv) for any Purchaser Interest purchased by the Rabo Company and funded substantially with
Pooled Commercial Paper, for any day, an amount equal to the Capital of such Purchaser Interest
multiplied by a rate per annum equal to the weighted average of the per annum rates paid or payable
by the Rabo Company from time to time as interest on Commercial Paper (by means of interest rate
hedges or otherwise and taking into consideration any incremental carrying costs associated with
Commercial Paper issued by the Rabo Company maturing on dates other than those certain dates on
which the Rabo Company is to receive funds) in respect of Commercial Paper issued by the Rabo
Company that are allocated, in whole or in part, by Rabobank (or other agent of the Rabo Company)
on behalf of the Rabo Company to fund or maintain the Capital of the Rabo Company during such
period, as determined by Rabobank (or other agent of the Rabo Company) on behalf of the Rabo
Company, which rates shall reflect and give effect to (i) the

Exh. I-7

 

fourth amended and restated

receivables purchase agreement

commissions of placement agents and dealers in respect of such Commercial Paper, to the extent
such commissions are reasonably allocated, in whole or in part, to such Commercial Paper by
Rabobank (or other agent of the Rabo Company) on behalf of the Rabo Company and (ii) other
borrowings by the Rabo Company, including, without limitation, borrowings to fund small or odd
dollar amounts that are not easily accommodated in the commercial paper market; provided
that if any component of such rate is a discount rate, in calculating the Company Costs, Rabobank
(or other agent of the Rabo Company) shall for such component use the rate resulting from
converting such discount rate to an interest bearing equivalent rate per annum. In addition to the
foregoing costs, if the Administrative Seller shall request any Purchaser Interest during any
period of time determined by the Rabo Company in its sole discretion to result in incrementally
higher Company Costs with respect to the Rabo Company applicable to such Purchaser Interest, the
Capital associated with any such Purchaser Interest shall, during such period, be deemed to be
funded by the Rabo Company in a special pool (which may include capital associated with other
receivable purchase or financing facilities) for purposes of determining such additional Company
Costs applicable only to such special pool and charged each day during such period against such
Capital. Each Purchaser Interest funded substantially with Pooled Commercial Paper will accrue
Company Costs with respect to the Rabo Company each day on a pro rata basis, based upon the
percentage share the Capital in respect of such Purchaser Interest represents in relation to all
assets held by the Rabo Company and funded substantially with Pooled Commercial Paper. For each
Settlement Period, the Rabo Company shall calculate its aggregate Company Costs for such Settlement
Period and report such Company Costs to the Administrative Seller pursuant to Section 3.3
of this Agreement; and

          (v) for any Purchaser Interest purchased by the Wachovia Company and funded substantially with
Pooled Commercial Paper, for any day, the sum of (i) discount or yield accrued on Pooled Commercial
Paper on such day, plus (ii) any and all accrued commissions in respect of placement agents and
Commercial Paper dealers, and issuing and paying agent fees incurred, in respect of such Pooled
Commercial Paper for such day, plus (iii) other costs associated with funding small or odd-lot
amounts with respect to all receivable purchase facilities which are funded by Pooled Commercial
Paper for such day, minus (iv) any accrual of income net of expenses received on such day from
investment of collections received under all receivable purchase facilities funded substantially
with Pooled Commercial Paper, minus (v) any payment received on such day net of expenses in respect
of broken funding costs related to the prepayment of any purchaser interest of the Wachovia Company
pursuant to the terms of any receivable purchase facilities funded substantially with Pooled
Commercial Paper. In addition to the foregoing costs, if

Exh. I-8

 

fourth amended and restated

the Administrative Seller shall request any Incremental Purchase during any period of time
determined by the Wachovia Company (or by the Wachovia Company’s agent on its behalf) in its sole
discretion to result in incrementally higher Company Costs with respect to the Wachovia Company
applicable to such Incremental Purchase by the Wachovia Company, the Capital associated with any
such Incremental Purchase shall, during such period, be deemed to be funded by the Wachovia Company
in a special pool (which may include capital associated with other receivable purchase facilities)
for purposes of determining such additional Company Costs applicable only to such special pool and
charged each day during such period against such Capital. Each Purchaser Interest funded
substantially with Pooled Commercial Paper will accrue Company Costs with respect to the Wachovia
Company each day on a pro rata basis, based upon the percentage share the Capital in respect of
such Purchaser Interest represents in relation to all assets held by the Wachovia Company and
funded substantially with Pooled Commercial Paper. For each Settlement Period, the Wachovia
Company shall calculate its aggregate Company Costs for such Settlement Period and report such
Company Costs to the Administrative Seller pursuant to Section 3.3 of this Agreement.

     “Company Purchase Limit” means, for each Company, the purchase limit of such Company
with respect to the purchase of Purchaser Interests from the Sellers, in an amount not to exceed
(i) in the aggregate, the amount set forth opposite such Company’s name on Schedule A to

Section 4.6(b)) and (ii) with respect to any individual purchase hereunder, its Pro Rata
Share of the Purchase Price therefor.

7%, and for any other Obligor designated by Agent, such other percentage as Agent may designate
(each of the foregoing, a “Special Concentration Limit”); provided, that in the case of an
Obligor and any Affiliate of such Obligor, the Concentration Limit shall be calculated as if such
Obligor and such Affiliate are one Obligor; and provided, further, that the Required Purchasers
may, upon not less than five Business Days’ notice to Seller, cancel any Special Concentration
Limit.

     “Consent Notice” has the meaning set forth in Section 4.6(a).

          A. This Assignment Agreement is being executed and delivered in accordance with Section

          C. Assignor is selling and assigning to Assignee an undivided                     % (the
“Transferred Percentage”) interest in all of Assignor’s rights and obligations under the

Assignor’s Commitment and (if applicable) the Capital of Assignor’s Purchaser Interests as set

AGREEMENT

     The parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

          1. The sale, transfer and assignment effected by this Assignment Agreement shall become
effective (the “Effective Date”) two (2) Business Days (or such other date selected by the
Agent in its sole discretion) following the date on which a notice substantially in the form of

all purposes thereof as if Assignee were an original party thereto and Assignee agrees to be
bound by all of the terms and provisions contained therein.

          2. If Assignor has no outstanding Capital under the Purchase Agreement, on the Effective Date,
Assignor shall be deemed to have hereby transferred and assigned to Assignee, without recourse,
representation or warranty (except as provided in paragraph 6 below), and the Assignee
shall be deemed to have hereby irrevocably taken, received and assumed from Assignor, the
Transferred Percentage of Assignor’s Commitment and all rights and obligations associated therewith
under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, including, without limitation, the
Transferred Percentage of Assignor’s future funding obligations under Article I of the Purchase

Capital of Assignor’s Purchaser Interests (such amount, being hereinafter referred to as the
“Assignee’s Capital”); (ii) all accrued but unpaid (whether or not then due) Yield
attributable to Assignee’s Capital; and (iii) accruing but unpaid fees and other costs and expenses
payable in respect of Assignee’s Capital for the period commencing upon each date such unpaid
amounts commence accruing, to and including the Effective Date (the “Assignee’s Acquisition
Cost”); whereupon, Assignor shall be deemed to have sold, transferred and assigned to Assignee,
without recourse, representation or warranty (except as provided in paragraph 6 below), and
Assignee shall be deemed to have hereby irrevocably taken, received and assumed from Assignor, the
Transferred Percentage of Assignor’s Commitment and the Capital of Assignor’s Purchaser Interests
(if applicable) and all related rights and obligations under the Purchase Agreement and the
Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, the Transferred Percentage of
Assignor’s future funding obligations under Article I of the Purchase Agreement.

          4. Concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, Assignor will provide to Assignee
copies of all documents requested by Assignee that were delivered to Assignor pursuant to the
Purchase Agreement.

          5. Each of the parties to this Assignment Agreement agrees that at any time and from time to
time upon the written request of any other party, it will execute and deliver such further
documents and do such further acts and things as
such other party may reasonably request in order to effect the purposes of this Assignment
Agreement.

          6. By executing and delivering this Assignment Agreement, Assignor and Assignee confirm to and
agree with each other, the Agent and the other Financial Institutions in the Assignor’s and

limitation, Article I and Sections 4.1 and 14.6 thereof.
