benefit of one or more of the Purchasers. In accordance with the terms and
conditions set forth herein, Company may, at its option, instruct the Agent to

<PAGE>
               (b) Seller may, upon at least ten (10) Business Days' notice to
the Agent, terminate in whole or reduce in part, ratably among the Financial
Institutions, the unused portion of the Purchase Limit; provided that each
partial reduction of the Purchase Limit shall be in an amount equal to
$5,000,000 or an integral multiple thereof.

          Section 1.2 Increases.

          Seller shall provide the Agent with at least two Business Days' prior
notice substantially in the form set forth as Exhibit II hereto of each
Incremental Purchase (a "Purchase Notice"). Each Purchase Notice shall be
subject to Section 6.2 hereof and, except as set forth below, shall be
irrevocable and shall specify the requested Purchase Price (which shall be equal

Period. Following receipt of a Purchase Notice, the Agent will determine whether
Company agrees to make the purchase. If Company declines to make a proposed

Financial Institutions. On the date of each Incremental Purchase, upon
satisfaction of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article VI,
Company or the Financial Institutions, as applicable, shall initiate a wire
transfer to an account designated by Seller of immediately available funds, no
later than 12:00 noon (Chicago time), an amount equal to (i) in the case of
Company, the aggregate Purchase Price of the Purchaser Interests Company is then

Institution's Pro Rata Share of the aggregate Purchase Price of the Purchaser
Interests the Financial Institutions are purchasing.

          Section 1.3 Decreases. Seller shall provide the Agent with prior
notice in substantially the form set forth as Exhibit XI hereto in conformity
with the Required Notice Period (a "Reduction Notice") of any proposed reduction
of Aggregate Capital from Collections. Such Reduction Notice shall designate (i)
the date (the "Proposed Reduction Date") upon which any such reduction of
Aggregate Capital shall occur (which date shall give effect to the applicable
Required Notice Period), and (ii) the amount of Aggregate Capital to be reduced
which shall be applied ratably to the Purchaser Interests of Company and the
Financial Institutions in accordance with the amount of Capital (if any) owing
to Company, on the one hand, and the amount of Capital (if any) owing to the
Financial Institutions (ratably, based on their respective Pro Rata Shares), on
the other hand (the "Aggregate Reduction"). Only one (1) Reduction Notice shall
be outstanding at any time.

          Section 1.4 Payment Requirements. All amounts to be paid or deposited
by Seller or Servicer pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be paid
or deposited in accordance with the terms hereof no later than 11:00 a.m.
(Chicago time) on the day when due in immediately available funds, and if not
received before 11:00 a.m. (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 the Agent, for the account of such Purchaser, at 1 Bank One
Plaza, Chicago, Illinois 60670 until otherwise notified by the Agent. All
computations of Yield, per annum fees calculated as part of any CP Costs, per
annum fees hereunder and per annum fees under the Fee Letter shall be made on
the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of

                                     Page 2
<PAGE>
days elapsed. If any amount hereunder shall be payable on a day which is not a
Business Day, such amount shall be payable on the next succeeding Business Day.

                                   ARTICLE II
                            PAYMENTS AND COLLECTIONS

          Section 2.1 Payments. Seller shall immediately pay to the Agent when
due, for the account of the relevant Purchaser or Purchasers, (i) such fees as
are set forth in the Fee Letter, (ii) all CP Costs, (iii) all amounts payable as
Yield, (iv) all amounts payable as Deemed Collections (which shall be due and
payable by Seller within two Business Days 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 and (viii) all Broken Funding Costs (collectively, the
"Obligations"). If Seller fails to pay any of the Obligations when due, Seller
agrees to pay, on demand, interest on any such unpaid Obligations at the Default
Rate until such Obligations are paid in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
provision of this Agreement or the 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 Seller receives any Collections or
is deemed to receive any Deemed Collections, Seller shall immediately pay such
Collections or Deemed Collections to the 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 Seller for the
exclusive benefit of the Purchasers and the Agent.

          Section 2.2 Collections Prior to Amortization. Prior to the
Amortization Date, any Collections received by the Servicer (including any
Deemed Collections paid by Seller to Servicer) shall be set aside and held in
trust by the Servicer 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 are received by the Servicer prior to the Amortization Date, (i)
the Servicer shall set aside the Termination Percentage (hereinafter defined) of
Collections evidenced by the Purchaser Interests of each Terminating Financial
Institution and (ii) Seller hereby requests and the Purchasers (other than any
Terminating Financial Institutions) hereby agree to make, simultaneously with
such receipt, a reinvestment (each a "Reinvestment") with that portion of the
balance of each and every Collection received by the Servicer that is part of
any Purchaser Interest (other than any Purchaser Interests of Terminating
Financial Institutions), 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. On each Settlement Date prior to the occurrence of the
Amortization Date, the Servicer shall remit to the Agent's account the
Collections (including any Deemed Collections) received by the Servicer which
have been set aside during the preceding Settlement Period and 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 Obligations and second, to
reduce the Capital of all Purchaser Interests of Terminating Financial
Institutions, applied ratably to each Terminating Financial Institution
according to its Termination Percentage. If

                                     Page 3
<PAGE>
such Obligations shall be reduced to zero, any additional Collections received
by the Servicer (i) if applicable, shall be remitted to the Agent's account no
later than 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time) to the extent required to fund any
Aggregate Reduction on such Settlement Date and (ii) any balance remaining
thereafter shall be remitted from the Servicer to Seller on such Settlement
Date. Each Terminating Financial Institution shall be allocated a ratable
portion of Collections from the date of any assignment by Company pursuant to
Section 13.6 (the "Termination Date") until such Terminating Financing
Institution's Capital shall be paid in full. This ratable portion shall be
calculated on the Termination Date of each Terminating Financial Institution as
a percentage equal to (i) Capital of such Terminating Financial Institution
outstanding on its Termination Date, divided by (ii) the Aggregate Capital
outstanding on such Termination Date (the "Termination Percentage"). Each
Terminating Financial Institution'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 Capital shall be reduced ratably with all Financial Institutions
in accordance with Section 2.3.

          Section 2.3 Collections Following Amortization. On the Amortization
Date and on each day thereafter until the Aggregate Unpaids shall have been
indefeasibly reduced to zero, the Servicer 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 Obligations
owed by Seller and not previously paid by Seller in accordance with Section 2.1.
On and after the Amortization Date, the Servicer 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 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.

          Section 2.4 Application of Collections. If there shall be insufficient
funds on deposit for the Servicer to distribute funds in payment in full of the
aforementioned amounts pursuant to Section 2.2 or 2.3 (as applicable), the
Servicer shall distribute funds:

          first, to the payment of the Servicer's reasonable out-of-pocket costs
     and expenses in connection with servicing, administering and collecting the
     Receivables, including the Servicing Fee,

          second, to the reimbursement of the Agent's costs of collection and
     enforcement of this Agreement,

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

          fourth, for the ratable payment of all other unpaid Obligations, and

          fifth, after the Aggregate Unpaids have been indefeasibly reduced to
     zero, to Seller.

          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

                                     Page 4
<PAGE>
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.

          Section 2.5 Payment Recission. 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. 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 application to the Person or Persons who suffered such
recission, return or refund) the full amount thereof plus interest on any such
unpaid Aggregate Unpaids at the Default Rate from the date of any such
recission, return or refunding.

          Section 2.6 Maximum Purchaser Interests. Seller shall ensure that the
Purchaser Interests of the Purchasers shall at no time exceed in the aggregate
100%. If the aggregate of the Purchaser Interests of the Purchasers exceeds
100%, Seller shall pay to the Agent within one (1) Business Day an amount to be
applied to reduce the Aggregate Capital (as allocated by the Agent), such that
after giving effect to such payment the aggregate of the Purchaser Interests
equals or is less than 100%.

          Section 2.7 Clean Up Call. In addition to Seller's rights pursuant to
Section 1.3, Seller shall have the right (after providing written notice to the
Agent in accordance with the Required Notice Period), at any time following the
reduction of the Aggregate Capital to a level that is less than 10.0% of the
original Purchase Limit, 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 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, other than as to the
non-creation of any Adverse Claim on such Purchaser Interests by the Purchasers
and the Agent.

                                 COMPANY FUNDING

          Section 3.1 CP Costs. Seller shall pay CP Costs with respect to the
Capital associated with each Purchaser Interest of Company for each day that any
Capital in respect of such Purchaser Interest is outstanding. Each Purchaser
Interest funded by Company 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 Company and funded substantially with Pooled Commercial Paper.

          Section 3.2 CP Costs Payments. On each Settlement Date, Seller shall
pay to the Agent (for the benefit of Company) an aggregate amount equal to all
accrued and unpaid CP Costs in respect of the Capital associated with all
Purchaser Interests of Company for the immediately preceding Accrual Period in
accordance with Article II.

          Section 3.3 Calculation of CP Costs. On the fifth Business Day of each

applicable Accrual Period ending on the last day of the immediately preceding
calendar month and shall notify Seller of such aggregate amount.

                          FINANCIAL INSTITUTION FUNDING

          Section 4.1 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 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 the Financial
Institutions acquire by assignment from Company any Purchaser Interest pursuant
to a Liquidity Agreement, each Purchaser Interest so assigned shall each be
deemed to have a new Tranche Period commencing on the date of any such
assignment.

          Section 4.2 Yield Payments. On the Settlement Date for each Purchaser
Interest of the Financial Institutions, Seller shall pay to the Agent (for the
benefit of the Financial Institutions) an aggregate amount equal to the accrued
and unpaid Yield for the entire Tranche Period of each such Purchaser Interest
in accordance with Article II.

          Section 4.3 Selection and Continuation of Tranche Periods.

               (a) With consultation from (and approval by) the Agent, Seller
shall from time to time request Tranche Periods for the Purchaser Interests of
the Financial Institutions, provided that, if at any time the Financial
Institutions shall have a Purchaser Interest, 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. Without limiting
the foregoing, in no event may the Seller request a Tranche Period for a
Purchaser Interest of Company.

               (b) Seller or the Agent, 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 Interests to be purchased on the day such
Terminating Tranche ends. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event may a
Purchaser Interest of Company be combined with a Purchaser Interest of the
Financial Institutions.

          Section 4.4 Financial Institution Discount Rates. Seller may select
the LIBO Rate or the Prime Rate for each Purchaser Interest of the Financial
Institutions. Seller shall by 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time): (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

                                     Page 6
<PAGE>
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 Agent irrevocable notice of the new Discount Rate
for the Purchaser Interest associated with such Terminating Tranche. Unless and
until Seller gives notice to the Agent 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 any Liquidity
Agreement shall be the Prime Rate.

          Section 4.5 Suspension of the LIBO Rate. 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 at a LIBO Rate would violate
any applicable law, rule, regulation, or directive of any governmental or
regulatory authority, whether or not having the force of law, or that (i)
deposits of a type and maturity appropriate to match fund its Purchaser
Interests at such LIBO Rate are not available or (ii) such LIBO Rate does not
accurately reflect the cost of acquiring or maintaining a Purchaser Interest at
such LIBO Rate, then the Agent shall suspend the availability of such LIBO Rate
for such Financial Institution and require Seller to select the Prime Rate for
any Purchaser Interest accruing Yield at such LIBO Rate.

                                    ARTICLE V

law).

               (g) Accuracy of Information. All information heretofore furnished
by Seller or any of its Affiliates to the Agent or the Purchasers for purposes
of or in connection with this Agreement, any of the other Transaction Documents

               (k) Compliance with Law. Seller 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, with respect to the
Servicer, where the failure to so comply could not reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Receivable, together with the Contract
related thereto, does not contravene any laws, rules or regulations applicable
thereto (including, without limitation, laws, rules and regulations relating to
truth in lending, fair credit billing, fair credit reporting, equal credit
opportunity, fair debt collection practices and privacy), and no part of such
Contract is in violation of any such law, rule or regulation.

               (l) Compliance with Credit and Collection Policy. Seller has

be used by Seller (i) for a purpose that violates, or would be inconsistent
with, Regulation T, U or X promulgated by the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System from time to time or (ii) to acquire any security in any
transaction which is subject to Section 12, 13 or 14 of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended.

undivided percentage ownership interest or a valid and perfected first priority
security interest in each Receivable existing or hereafter arising and in the
Related Assets and Collections with respect thereto, free and clear of any
Adverse Claim, except as created by the Transactions Documents. There have been

or assumed names other than the name in which it has executed this Agreement.

               (r) Payments to Originators. With respect to each Receivable
transferred to Seller under the Receivables Sale Agreements, Seller has given
reasonably equivalent value to each Originator in consideration therefor and
such transfer was not made for or on account of an antecedent debt. No transfer
by any Originator of any Receivable to Seller under any Receivables Sale
Agreement is or may be voidable under any section of the Bankruptcy Reform Act
of 1978 (11 U.S.C. Sections 101 et seq.), as amended.

               (s) Ownership of Seller. Provider indirectly owns 100% of the

there are no outstanding options, warrants or other rights to acquire securities
of Seller.

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

               (u) Net Receivables Balance. 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.

               (v) Federal Employee Identification Number. Seller's Federal
Employer Identification Number is correctly set forth on Exhibit III.

               (w) Lock-Boxes and Collection Accounts. The names and addresses
of all Collection Banks, together with the account numbers of the Collection
Accounts of Seller at each Collection Bank and the post office box number of
each Lock-Box, are listed on Exhibit IV. Seller has not granted any Person,
other than the Agent as contemplated by this Agreement, dominion or control of
any Lock-Box or Collection Account, or the right to take dominion and control of
any such Lock-Box or Collection Account at any time.

               (x) Enforceability of Contracts. Each Contract with respect to
each Receivable (other than Receivables that are not Eligible Receivables and
that have been identified in writing to the Agent for purposes of this Section
by the Seller or the Servicer) 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 (net of any related amount then
reflected in the Promotional Accrual Account for purposes of calculating Net
Eligible Receivables Balance at such time) 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).

Seller to satisfy any of the foregoing conditions precedent in respect of such
Reinvestment. The failure of Seller to satisfy any of the foregoing conditions
precedent in respect of any Reinvestment shall give rise to a right of the
Agent, which right may be exercised at any time on demand of the Agent, to
rescind the related purchase and direct Seller to pay to the Agent for the
benefit of the Purchasers an amount equal to the Collections prior to the
Amortization Date that shall have been applied to the affected Reinvestment.

                    (ii) Each of Seller and the Servicer will (A) on or prior to
the date hereof, mark its master data processing records and other books and

necessary or desirable to the Agent, in the Agent's sole discretion, to protect
the interests of the Agent and the Purchasers hereunder, Seller and Servicer
shall deliver to the Agent originals of such Contracts.

under and pursuant to the applicable Receivables Sale Agreement, will purchase
Receivables thereunder in strict compliance with the terms thereof and will
vigorously enforce the rights and remedies accorded to Seller under each
Receivables Sale Agreement. Seller will take all actions to exercise, perfect
and enforce its rights and interests (and the rights and interests of the Agent
and the Purchasers as assignees of Seller) under the Receivables Sale Agreements
as the Agent may from time to time reasonably request, including, without
limitation, (A) facilitating access by the Agent to copies of the Records
maintained at and the offices of each Originator and (B) making claims to which
it may be entitled under any indemnity, reimbursement or similar provision
contained in any Receivables Sale Agreement. Without limiting the generality of
Section 7.1(a)(iv), Seller will promptly deliver to the Agent a copy of all
notices, certificates or other information delivered to Seller pursuant to or in
connection with any Receivables Sale Agreement.

                    (ii) Seller will require the Provider to perform its
obligations and undertakings under and pursuant to the Performance Undertaking
and will vigorously enforce the rights accorded to Seller under the Performance
Undertaking. Seller will take all actions to perfect and enforce its rights and

connection with the Performance Undertaking.

               (h) Ownership. Seller will take all necessary action to (i) vest
legal and equitable title to the Receivables, the Related Assets and the
Collections purchased under the

                                    Page 18
<PAGE>
Receivables Sale Agreements irrevocably in Seller, free and clear of any Adverse
Claims other than Adverse Claims in favor of the Agent and the Purchasers
(including, without limitation, the filing of all financing statements or other
similar instruments or documents necessary under the UCC (or any comparable law)
of all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect Seller's interest in such
Receivables, Related Assets and Collections and such other action to perfect,
protect or more fully evidence the interest of Seller therein as the Agent may
reasonably request), and (ii) establish and maintain, in favor of the Agent, for
the benefit of the Purchasers, a valid and perfected first priority undivided
percentage ownership interest (and/or a valid and perfected first priority
security interest) in all Receivables, Related Assets and Collections to the
full extent contemplated herein, free and clear of any Adverse Claims
(including, without limitation, the filing of all financing statements or other
similar instruments or documents necessary under the UCC (or any comparable law)
of all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect the Agent's (for the benefit of the
Purchasers) interest in such Receivables, Related Assets and Collections and
such other action to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the interest of the
Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers as the Agent may reasonably request).

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

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

                    (B) compensate all employees, consultants and agents
directly, from Seller's own funds, for services provided to Seller by such
employees, consultants and agents and, to the extent any employee, consultant or
agent of Seller is also an employee, consultant or agent of any Originator, the
Servicer, the Provider or any Affiliate thereof, allocate the compensation of
such employee, consultant or agent between Seller and such Originator, the
Servicer, the Provider or such Affiliate, as applicable, on a basis that
reflects the services rendered to Seller and such Originator, the Servicer, the
Provider or such Affiliate, as applicable;

                    (C) clearly identify its offices (by signage or otherwise)
as its offices and, if any such office is located in the offices of any
Originator, the Servicer, the Provider or any Affiliate thereof, Seller shall
lease such office at a fair market rent;

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

                                    Page 19
<PAGE>
                    (E) conduct all transactions with the Provider, the
Originators and the Servicer (including, without limitation, any delegation of
its obligations hereunder as Servicer) strictly on an arm's length basis,
allocate all overhead expenses (including, without limitation, telephone and
other utility charges) for items shared between Seller, the Servicer, the
Provider or any Originator on the basis of actual use to the extent practicable
and, to the extent such allocation is not practicable, on a basis reasonably
related to actual use;

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

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

                    (H) maintain Seller's books and records separate from those
of the Originators, the Servicer, the Provider and any Affiliate thereof and
otherwise readily identifiable as its own assets rather than assets of the
Originators, the Servicer, the Provider and any Affiliate thereof;

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

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

                    (K) pay all of Seller's operating expenses from Seller's own
assets (except for certain payments by the Originators, the Servicer, the
Provider or other Persons pursuant to allocation arrangements that comply with
the requirements of this Section 7.1(i));

                    (L) operate its business and activities such that: it does
not engage in any business or activity of any kind, or enter into any
transaction or indenture, mortgage, instrument, agreement, contract, lease or
other undertaking, other than the transactions contemplated and authorized by
this Agreement and the Receivables Sale Agreements; and does

                                    Page 20
<PAGE>
not create, incur, guarantee, assume or suffer to exist any indebtedness or
other liabilities, whether direct or contingent, other than (1) as a result of
the endorsement of negotiable instruments for deposit or collection or similar
transactions in the ordinary course of business, (2) the incurrence of
obligations under this Agreement, (3) the incurrence of obligations, as
expressly contemplated in the Receivables Sale Agreements, to make payment to
the Originators thereunder for the purchase of Receivables from the Originators
under the Receivables Sale Agreements, and (4) the incurrence of operating
expenses in the ordinary course of business of the type otherwise contemplated
by this Agreement;

                    (M) maintain its corporate charter in conformity with this
Agreement, such that it does not amend, restate, supplement or otherwise modify
its articles of incorporation or by-laws (or equivalent thereof) in any respect
that would impair its ability to comply with the terms or provisions of any of
the Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, Section 7.1(i) of this
Agreement;

                    (N) maintain the effectiveness of, and continue to perform
under each Receivables Sale Agreement and the Performance Undertaking, such that
it does not amend, restate, supplement, cancel, terminate or otherwise modify
any Receivables Sale Agreement or the Performance Undertaking, or give any
consent, waiver, directive or approval thereunder or waive any default, action,
omission or breach under any Receivables Sale Agreement or the Performance
Undertaking or otherwise grant any indulgence thereunder, without (in each case)
the prior written consent of the Agent;

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

                    (P) maintain at all times the Required Capital Amount (as
defined in each Receivables Sale Agreement) and refrain from making any
dividend, distribution, redemption of capital stock or payment of any
subordinated indebtedness which would cause the Required Capital Amount to cease
to be so maintained; and

                    (Q) take such other actions as are necessary on its part to
ensure that the facts and assumptions set forth in the opinion letter issued by
Drinker Biddle & Reath LLP, as counsel for Seller, in connection with the
closing or initial Incremental Purchase under this Agreement and relating to
substantive consolidation issues, and in the certificates accompanying such
opinion, remain true and correct in all material respects at all times.

               (j) Collections. Each of Seller and the Servicer will cause (1)
all proceeds from all Lock-Boxes to be directly deposited by a Collection Bank
into a Collection Account and (2) each Lock-Box and Collection Account to be
subject at all times to a Collection Account Agreement that is in full force and
effect. In the event any payments relating to Receivables are remitted directly
to Seller or any Affiliate of Seller, Seller will remit (or will use its best
efforts to cause all such payments to be remitted) directly to a Collection Bank
and

                                    Page 21
<PAGE>
deposited into a Collection Account within two (2) Business Days following
receipt thereof, and, at all times prior to such remittance, Seller 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. Seller will maintain
exclusive ownership, dominion and control (subject to the terms of this
Agreement) of each Lock-Box and Collection Account and shall not grant the right
to take dominion and control of any Lock-Box or Collection Account at any time,
except to the Agent as contemplated by this Agreement. Until the Agent delivers
a Collection Notice to the applicable Collection Bank, the Agent shall permit
Seller and the Servicer to provide instructions to such Collection Bank with
respect to the Collection Accounts and Lock-Boxes maintained by such Collection
Bank.

               (k) Taxes. Each of Seller and the Servicer will file all tax
returns and reports required by law to be filed by it and will promptly pay all
taxes and governmental charges at any time owing, except in the case of the
Servicer where such taxes are being contested in good faith and in respect of
which Servicer shall have established adequate reserves and no enforcement
proceeding has been commenced. Seller will pay when due any taxes payable in
connection with the Receivables, exclusive of taxes on or measured by income or
gross receipts of Company, the Agent or any Financial Institution.

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

          Section 7.2 Negative Covenants of Seller and the Servicer. Until the
date on which the Aggregate Unpaids have been indefeasibly paid in full and this
Agreement terminates in accordance with its terms, each of Seller and the
Servicer hereby severally, and not jointly, covenants, as to itself, that:

               (a) Name Change, Offices and Records. Seller will not make any
change to its name (within the meaning of Section 9-507(c) of any applicable
enactment of the UCC), identity, or jurisdiction of organization, unless (i) at
least forty-five (45) days prior to the effective date of any such change,
Seller provides written notice thereof to the Agent, (ii) at least ten (10) days
prior to such effective date, Seller delivers to the Agent such financing
statements (Forms UCC-1 and UCC-3), executed by Seller (if required under
applicable law) which the Agent or any Purchaser may reasonably request to
reflect such change, together with such other documents and instruments that the
Agent or any Purchaser may reasonably request in connection therewith, (iii) at
least ten (10) days prior to such effective date, Seller has taken all other
steps to ensure that the Agent, for the benefit of itself and the Purchasers,
continues to have a first priority perfected ownership in the Receivables, the
Related Assets related thereto and any Collections thereon and (iv) in the case
of any change in its jurisdiction of organization, if requested by the Agent or
any Purchaser, the Agent and such Purchaser shall have received, prior to such
change, an opinion of counsel, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
the Agent and such Purchaser, as to such incorporation and Seller's valid
existence and good standing and the perfection and preservation of priority of
the Agent's ownership or security interest in, the Receivables, the Related
Assets and Collections.

                                    Page 22
<PAGE>
               (b) Change in Payment Instructions to Obligors. Except as may be
required by the Agent pursuant to Section 8.2(b), neither Seller nor Servicer
will add or terminate any bank as a Collection Bank, or make any change in the
instructions to Obligors regarding payments to be made to any Lock-Box or
Collection Account, unless the Agent shall have received, at least ten (10) days
before the proposed effective date therefor, (i) written notice of such
addition, termination or change and (ii) with respect to the addition of a
Collection Bank or a Collection Account or Lock-Box, an executed Collection
Account Agreement with respect to the new Collection Account or Lock-Box;
provided, however, that the Servicer may make changes in instructions to
Obligors regarding payments if such new instructions require such Obligor to
make payments to another existing Collection Account.

               (c) Modifications to Contracts and Credit and Collection Policy.
Without the Agent's prior written consent, Seller will not agree to make any
change to the Credit and Collection Policy that could reasonably be expected to
adversely affect the collectibility of the Receivables. Except as provided in
Section 8.2(d), the Servicer will not and will not agree to, extend, amend or
otherwise modify the terms of any outstanding Receivable or the terms of any
Contract related thereto to the extent that such terms relate to such Receivable
other than in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy.

               (d) Sales, Liens. Seller will not 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 Assets or Collections, or upon or with respect to any
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 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 Seller
or any Originator. Seller will not create or suffer to exist any mortgage,
pledge, security interest, encumbrance, lien, charge or other similar
arrangement on any of its inventory, except in favor of the Agent and the
Purchasers as provided hereunder.

               (e) Net Receivables Balance. At no time prior to the Amortization
Date shall 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. Seller will not designate the
Termination Date (as defined in any Receivables Sale Agreement), or send any
written notice to any Originator in respect thereof, without the prior written
consent of the Agent, except with respect to the occurrence of such Termination
Date arising pursuant to Section 5.1(d) of a Receivables Sale Agreement.

               (g) Restricted Junior Payments. From and after the continuance of
any Amortization Event, Seller will not make any Restricted Junior Payment if,
after giving effect thereto, Seller would fail to meet its obligations set forth
in Section 7.2(e).

                                  ARTICLE VIII
                          ADMINISTRATION AND COLLECTION

          Section 8.1 Designation of Servicer. (a) The servicing, administration
and collection of the Receivables shall be conducted by the Servicer so
designated from time to time in accordance with this Section 8.1. The Agent and
the Purchasers hereby appoint Seller to perform all such servicing,
administration and collection tasks. Seller hereby delegates such servicing,
administration and collection tasks to Cott and the Agent and the Purchasers
consent to such delegation. Cott hereby accepts such delegation from Seller and
agrees to perform the duties and obligations of the Servicer pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement. The Agent may, or upon the direction of the Required
Financial Institutions, the Agent shall, at any time after the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Amortization Event, designate any Person to succeed
Cott as Servicer. From and after the designation of any Person as the successor
Servicer to Cott, the Agent may, or upon the direction of the Required Financial
Institutions, the Agent shall designate any Person as a subsequent successor
Servicer at any time.

               (b) Without the prior written consent of the Agent and the
Required Financial Institutions, Seller, Cott and any other Person subsequently
designated as Servicer by the Agent in accordance with Section 8.1(a)) shall not
be permitted to delegate any of its duties or responsibilities as Servicer to
any Person other than (i) Seller, (ii) Cott and (iii) with respect to certain
Charged-Off Receivables, outside collection agencies and attorneys in accordance
with its customary practices. If at any time the Agent shall designate any
successor Servicer, all duties and responsibilities theretofore delegated to the
Servicer being replaced may, at the discretion of the Agent, be terminated
forthwith on notice given by the Agent to the Servicer being replaced and to
Seller.

               (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing subsection (b), for so long as
Cott shall serve as the Servicer (i) Cott shall be and remain primarily liable
to the Agent and the Purchasers for the full and prompt performance of all
duties and responsibilities of the Servicer hereunder and (ii) the Agent and the
Purchasers shall be entitled to deal exclusively with Cott in matters relating
to the discharge by the 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 Cott in order for communication to
the Servicer and its sub-servicer or other delegate with respect thereto to be
accomplished. Cott, at all times that it is the Servicer, shall be responsible
for providing any sub-servicer or other delegate of the Servicer with any notice
given to the Servicer under this Agreement.

          Section 8.2 Duties of Servicer. (a) The Servicer shall take or cause
to be taken all such actions as may be necessary or advisable to collect each
Receivable from time to time, all in accordance with applicable laws, rules and
regulations, with reasonable care and diligence, and in accordance with the
Credit and Collection Policy.

               (b) The Servicer will instruct all Obligors to pay all
Collections directly to a Lock-Box or Collection Account owned by and maintained
in the name of Seller. The Servicer shall enter into and cause to be in effect
at all times a Collection Account Agreement substantially in the form of one of
the agreements attached hereto as Exhibit VI (or such other form as the Agent
may agree in writing) with each bank maintaining a Collection

                                    Page 24
<PAGE>
Account at any time. In the case of any remittances received in any Lock-Box or
Collection Account that shall have been identified, to the satisfaction of the
Servicer, to not constitute Collections or other proceeds of the Receivables or
the Related Assets, the Servicer shall promptly remit such items to the Person
identified to it as being the owner of such remittances. From and after the date
the Agent delivers to any Collection Bank a Collection Notice pursuant to
Section 8.3, the Agent may request that the Servicer, and the Servicer thereupon
promptly shall, instruct all Obligors with respect to the Receivables to remit
all payments thereon to a new depositary account specified by the Agent and, at
all times thereafter, Seller and the Servicer shall not deposit or otherwise
credit, and shall not permit any other Person to deposit or otherwise credit to
such new depositary account any cash or payment item other than Collections.

               (c) The Servicer shall administer the Collections in accordance
with the procedures described herein and in Article II. The Servicer shall 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 Servicer
shall, upon the request of the Agent, segregate, in a manner reasonably
acceptable to the Agent, all cash, checks and other instruments received by it
from time to time constituting Collections from the general funds of the
Servicer or Seller prior to the remittance thereof in accordance with Article
II. If the Servicer shall be required to segregate Collections pursuant to the
preceding sentence, the Servicer shall segregate and deposit with a bank
designated by the Agent such allocable share of Collections of Receivables set
aside for the Purchasers on the first Business Day following the date of receipt
by the Servicer of such Collections, duly endorsed or with duly executed
instruments of transfer; provided, that if such Collections are not received
until after 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time), the Servicer shall not be required to set
aside such Collections in accordance with this sentence until the second
Business Day following receipt of such Collections.

               (d) The Servicer may, in accordance with the Credit and
Collection Policy, extend the maturity of any Receivable or adjust the
Outstanding Balance of any Receivable as the Servicer determines to be
appropriate to maximize Collections thereof; provided, however, that such
extension or adjustment shall not alter the status of such Receivable as a
Defaulted Receivable, 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, at any time after the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Amortization Event, the Agent shall have the
absolute and unlimited right to direct the Servicer to commence or settle any
legal action with respect to any Receivable or to foreclose upon or repossess
any Related Assets.

               (e) The Servicer shall hold in trust for Seller and the
Purchasers all Records that (i) evidence or relate to the Receivables, the
related Contracts and Related Assets or (ii) are otherwise necessary or
desirable to collect the Receivables and shall, as soon as practicable upon
demand of the Agent following an Amortization Event, deliver or make available
to the Agent all such Records, at a place selected by the Agent. The Servicer
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.

                                    Page 25
<PAGE>
               (f) Any payment by an Obligor in respect of any Indebtedness owed
by it to any Originator or 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. The Servicer shall, as soon as practicable following
receipt thereof turn over to Seller any cash collections or other cash proceeds
received with respect to Indebtedness of an Obligor not constituting
Receivables.

          Section 8.3 Collection Notices. The Agent is authorized at any time to
date and to deliver to the Collection Banks the Collection Notices. The Agent
agrees to deliver to Servicer a copy of any Collection Notice promptly following
delivery thereof to a Collection Bank; provided, that any failure or delay in
delivering any Collection Notice shall not impair or adversely affect the
effectiveness of any such Collection Notice. Seller hereby transfers to the
Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers, exclusive dominion and control of each
Lock-Box and Collection Account and, effective when the Agent delivers any
Collection Notice, the exclusive ownership of each Lock-Box and the Collection
Accounts. Until the Agent delivers a Collection Notice to the applicable
Collection Bank, the Agent shall permit Seller and the Servicer to provide
instructions to such Collection Bank with respect to the applicable Collection
Accounts and Lock-Boxes. In case any authorized signatory of 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. Seller hereby
authorizes the Agent, and agrees that the Agent shall be entitled to (i) endorse
Seller's name on checks and other instruments representing Collections, (ii)
enforce the Receivables, the related Contracts and the Related Assets 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 Seller.

          Section 8.4 Responsibilities of Seller. Anything herein to the
contrary notwithstanding, the exercise by the Agent and the Purchasers of their
rights hereunder shall not release the Servicer, any Originator or Seller from
any of their respective duties or obligations with respect to any Receivables or
under the related Contracts. The Purchasers shall have no obligation or
liability with respect to any Receivables or related Contracts, nor shall any of
them be obligated to perform the obligations of Seller.

          Section 8.5 Reports. The Servicer shall prepare and forward to the
Agent (i) on the 15th day of each calendar month and at such times as the Agent
shall reasonably request, a Monthly Report in respect of the Monthly Accounting
Period then most recently ended and (ii) at such times as the Agent shall
reasonably request, a listing by Obligor of all Receivables together with an
aging of such Receivables.

          Section 8.6 Servicing Fees. In consideration of Cott's agreement to
act as Servicer hereunder, the Purchasers hereby agree that, so long as Cott
shall continue to perform as Servicer hereunder, Seller shall pay over to Cott a
fee (the "Servicing Fee") on each Settlement Date, in arrears for the
immediately preceding Accrual Period, equal to 1.00% per annum of the average
aggregate Outstanding Balance of all Receivables during the preceding Accrual
Period, as compensation for its servicing activities.

Indebtedness to become due prior to its stated maturity; or any Indebtedness
shall be declared to be due and payable or required to be prepaid (other than by
a regularly scheduled payment) prior to the date of maturity thereof;

Indebtedness to become due prior to its stated maturity; or any Material
Indebtedness shall be declared to be due and payable or required to be prepaid

of permitting termination of any financing commitments or the acceleration of
any outstanding Indebtedness or recourse to any guaranty or collateral for any
outstanding Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement shall occur or exist;
provided, that, in the absence of an "Event of Default," (1) a refinancing or
replacement of the Credit Agreement or (2) the expiration of the

                                    Page 27

order for relief or the appointment of a receiver, trustee or other similar
official for it or any substantial part of its property); provided that, in the
case of any proceeding instituted against Servicer, such event shall not
constitute an Amortization Event until either (A) such proceeding shall have
remained undismissed or unstayed for a period of thirty (30) days, (B) an order

                                 INDEMNIFICATION

          Section 10.1 Indemnities by the Seller and the Servicer.

               (a) Indemnification by the Seller. Without limiting any other
rights that the Agent or any Purchaser may have hereunder or under applicable
law, Seller hereby agrees to indemnify (and pay upon demand to) the Agent, the
Arranger and each Purchaser and their respective assigns, officers, directors,
agents and employees (each an "Indemnified Party") from and against any and all
damages, losses, claims, taxes, liabilities, costs, expenses and for all other
amounts payable, including reasonable attorneys' fees (which attorneys may be
employees of the Agent or such Purchaser) and disbursements (all of the
foregoing being collectively referred to as "Indemnified Amounts") awarded
against or incurred by any of them arising out of or as a result of this
Agreement or any other Transaction Document or the acquisition, either directly
or indirectly, by a Purchaser of an interest in the Receivables, excluding,
however, in all of the foregoing instances:

                    (x) Indemnified Amounts to the extent a final judgment of a
court of competent jurisdiction holds that such Indemnified Amounts resulted
from gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Indemnified Party
seeking indemnification;

                    (y) Indemnified Amounts to the extent the same includes
losses in respect of Receivables that are uncollectible on account of the
insolvency, bankruptcy or lack of creditworthiness of the related Obligor or due
to the failure of any Obligor to pay any amounts in respect of any Receivable
(other than any such failure directly or indirectly related to any action or
omission on the part of Seller or any of its Affiliates or any adverse
development in the relationship between such Obligor and Seller or any of its
Affiliates other than to the extent such adverse development arises due to an
adverse development in the creditworthiness of such Obligor); or

                    (z) taxes imposed by such Indemnified Party's jurisdiction
of organization, on or measured by the overall net income or revenues of such
Indemnified Party;

provided, however, that nothing contained in this sentence shall limit the
liability of the Seller for amounts otherwise specifically provided to be paid
by the Seller under the terms of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing indemnification, but subject to the limitations in clauses (x),
(y) and (z) above, Seller shall indemnify each Indemnified Party for Indemnified
Amounts relating to or resulting from:

                    (i) any representation or warranty made by Seller, Servicer,
Provider or any Originator (or any officers of any such Person) under or in
connection with this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any other
information or report delivered by any

                                    Page 30
<PAGE>
such Person pursuant hereto or thereto, which shall have been false or incorrect
when made or deemed made;

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

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

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

                    (v) any dispute, claim, offset (other than (A) an offset
properly recorded in a Promotional Accrual Account and included in the
calculation of Net Eligible Receivables Balance or (B) any discount on the
payment of any Receivable set forth in the terms of the Contract related thereto
in respect of the applicable Obligor's early payment of the amounts owing under
such Contract) or defense of the Obligor to the payment of any Receivable
(including, without limitation, a defense based on such Receivable or the
related Contract not being a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Obligor
enforceable against it in accordance with its terms), or any other claim
resulting from the sale of the merchandise or service related to such Receivable
or the furnishing or failure to furnish such merchandise or services;

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

                    (vii) any investigation, litigation or proceeding related to
or arising from this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, the
transactions contemplated hereby, the use of the proceeds of an Incremental
Purchase or a Reinvestment, the ownership of the Purchaser Interests or any
other investigation, litigation or proceeding relating to Seller, the Servicer,
Provider or any Originator in which any Indemnified Party becomes involved as a
result of any of the transactions contemplated hereby;

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

                    (ix) any Amortization Event;

                    (x) any failure of Seller to acquire and maintain legal and
equitable title to, and ownership of any Receivable and the Related Assets and
Collections with respect thereto from any Originator, free and clear of any
Adverse Claim (other than as created under the Transaction Documents); or any
failure of Seller to give reasonably equivalent value to

                                    Page 31
<PAGE>
any Originator under the applicable Receivables Sale Agreement in consideration
of the transfer by such Originator of any Receivable, or any attempt by any
Person to void such transfer under statutory provisions or common law or
equitable action;

                    (xi) any failure to vest and maintain vested in the Agent
for the benefit of the Purchasers, or to transfer to the Agent for the benefit
of the Purchasers, legal and equitable title to, and ownership of, a first
priority perfected undivided percentage ownership interest (to the extent of the
Purchaser Interests contemplated hereunder) or a first priority perfected
security interest in the Receivables, the Related Assets and the Collections,
free and clear of any Adverse Claim (except as created by the Transaction
Documents);

                    (xii) the failure to have filed, or any delay in filing,
financing statements or other similar instruments or documents under the UCC of
any applicable jurisdiction or other applicable laws with respect to any
Receivable, the Related Assets and Collections with respect thereto, and the
proceeds of any thereof, whether at the time of any Incremental Purchase or
Reinvestment or at any subsequent time;

                    (xiii) any action improperly taken, any omission of any
action required to be taken, or any other action elected to be taken by Seller
or Servicer which reduces or impairs the rights of the Agent or the Purchasers
with respect to any Receivable or the value of any such Receivable;

                    (xiv) any attempt by any Person (other than Agent, Arranger
or any Person) to void any Incremental Purchase or Reinvestment hereunder under
statutory provisions or common law or equitable action; and

                    (xv) the failure of any Receivable included in the
calculation of the Net Receivables Balance as an Eligible Receivable to be an
Eligible Receivable at the time so included.

               (b) Indemnification by the Servicer. Without limiting any other
rights that the Agent or any Purchaser may have hereunder or under applicable
law, the Servicer hereby agrees to indemnify (and pay upon demand to) each
Indemnified Party for Indemnified Amounts awarded against or incurred by any of
them arising out of the Servicer's activities as Servicer hereunder excluding,
however, in all of the foregoing instances:

                    (x) Indemnified Amounts to the extent a final judgment of a
court of competent jurisdiction holds that such Indemnified Amounts resulted
from gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Indemnified Party
seeking indemnification;

                    (y) Indemnified Amounts to the extent the same includes
losses in respect of Receivables that are uncollectible on account of the
insolvency, bankruptcy or lack of creditworthiness of the related Obligor or due
to the failure of any Obligor to pay any amounts in respect of such Receivable
(other than any such failure directly or indirectly related to any action or
omission on the part of Servicer or any of its Affiliates or any adverse
development in the relationship between such Obligor and Servicer or any of its
Affiliates other than to the extent such adverse development arises due to an
adverse development in the creditworthiness of such Obligor)); or

                                    Page 32
<PAGE>
                    (z) taxes imposed by such Indemnified Party's jurisdiction
of organization, on or measured by the overall net income or revenues of such
Indemnified Party;

provided, however, that nothing contained in this sentence shall limit the
liability of the Servicer for amounts otherwise specifically provided to be paid
by the Servicer under the terms of this Agreement. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing indemnification, but subject to the limitations in
clauses (x), (y) and (z) above, Servicer shall indemnify each Indemnified Party
for Indemnified Amounts relating to or resulting from:

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

                    (ii) the failure by the Servicer to comply with any
applicable law, rule or regulation with respect to any Receivable or Contract
related thereto;

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

                    (iv) the commingling of Collections of Receivables by or
under the supervision of the Servicer at any time with other funds;

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

                    (vi) any Amortization Event arising out of an action or
omission by the Servicer;

                    (vii) any action improperly taken, any omission of any
action required to be taken, or any other action elected to be taken by Servicer
which reduces or impairs the rights of the Agent or the Purchasers with respect
to any Receivable or the value of any such Receivable; and

                    (viii) the failure of any Receivable included in the
calculation of the Net Receivables Balance as an Eligible Receivable to be an
Eligible Receivable at the time so included.

          Section 10.2 Increased Cost and Reduced Return.

          If after the date hereof, any Funding Source shall be charged any fee,
expense or increased cost on account of the adoption of any applicable law, rule
or regulation (including any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding
capital adequacy) or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or
administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable
agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or

                                    Page 33
<PAGE>
compliance with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of
law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency (a "Regulatory
Change"): (i) that 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 or revenue 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, 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 reimburse such Funding Source for the amount of such
increased cost or such reduction.

          Section 10.3 Other Costs and Expenses.

               (a) Seller shall pay to the Arranger, the Purchasers, the Agent
and Company on demand (i) all reasonable costs and out-of-pocket expenses in
connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration of this
Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby and the other documents to be
delivered hereunder and (ii) all costs and out-of-pocket expenses in connection
with the enforcement of this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby and
the other documents to be delivered hereunder, including without limitation, (A)
the cost of Company's auditors auditing the books, records and procedures of
Seller, (B) reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of legal counsel for
Company and the Agent (which such counsel may be employees of Company or the
Agent) with respect thereto and with respect to advising Company and the Agent
as to their respective rights and remedies under this Agreement, (C) the costs
and expenses of the Arranger of the facility contemplated herein, and (D) all
costs and expenses incurred in connection with any amendment or restructuring or
workout of this Agreement or such documents.

               (b) Without limiting the generality of Section 10.3(a), Seller
shall reimburse the Agent and Company on demand in respect of all reasonable
fees and expenses incurred in connection with any audit conducted of any
Originator, Seller or Servicer.

                                   ARTICLE XI
                                    THE AGENT

          Section 11.1 Authorization and Action. Each Purchaser hereby
designates and appoints JPMorgan to act as its agent hereunder and under each
other Transaction Document,

                                    Page 34
<PAGE>
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 Seller or Servicer or any of such Person's respective 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).

          Section 11.2 Delegation of Duties. The Agent may execute any of its
duties under this Agreement and each other Transaction Document by or through
agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel
concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Agent shall not be
responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact
selected by it with reasonable care.

          Section 11.3 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 Seller or Servicer 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 Seller or Servicer 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 and the Servicer. The
Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Amortization Event or
Potential Amortization Event unless the Agent has received notice from Seller or
a Purchaser.

          Section 11.4 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 reasonably believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have
been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or

                                    Page 35
<PAGE>
Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without
limitation, counsel to Seller), 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
Company or the Required Financial Institutions or all of the Purchasers, as
applicable, as it deems appropriate and it shall first be indemnified to its
satisfaction by the Purchasers, 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 from
acting, in accordance with a request of Company or the Required Financial
Institutions 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.

          Section 11.5 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 the Seller
and the Servicer, 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 Seller and made its own decision to enter into this
Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and all other documents related
hereto or thereto.

          Section 11.6 Reimbursement and Indemnification. The Financial
Institutions agree to reimburse and indemnify the Agent and its officers,
directors, employees, representatives and agents ratably according to their Pro
Rata Shares, to the extent not paid or reimbursed by the Seller and the Servicer
(i) for any amounts for which the Agent, acting in its capacity as Agent, is
entitled to reimbursement by the Seller and the Servicer 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.

          Section 11.7 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 Seller or any Affiliate of Seller as though the Agent were
not the Agent hereunder. With respect to the acquisition of Purchaser Interests
pursuant to this 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," "Purchaser," "Financial Institutions" and "Purchasers" shall
include the Agent in its individual capacity.

          Section 11.8 Successor Agent. The Agent may, upon five days' notice to
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 Financial Institutions during such
five-day period shall appoint from among the Purchasers a

                                    Page 36
<PAGE>
successor agent. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, so long as no
Amortization Event or Potential Amortization Event has occurred and is
continuing, each such successor Agent (other than any successor Agent that is an
Affiliate of JPMorgan) shall be subject to approval by Seller, which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If for any reason no successor
Agent is appointed by the Required Financial Institutions 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 Seller and the Servicer (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.

                                   ARTICLE XII
                           ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATIONS

          Section 12.1 Assignments. (a) Seller and each Financial Institution
hereby agree and consent to the complete or partial assignment by Company of all
or any portion of its rights under, interest in, title to and obligations under
this Agreement to the Financial Institutions pursuant to a Liquidity Agreement
or to any other Person, and upon such assignment, Company shall be released from
its obligations so assigned. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, so
long as no Amortization Event or Potential Amortization Event has occurred and
is continuing, each such assignee of Company shall be subject to approval by
Seller, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided,
that assignments by the Company (1) pursuant to any Liquidity Agreement, (2) to
any Person administered or managed by the Agent whose primary business is
participating in securitizations and similar financial transactions or (3) to
any Affiliate of the Agent, shall not be subject to the consent of the Seller.
Further, Seller and each Financial Institution hereby agree that any assignee of
Company of this Agreement or all or any of the Purchaser Interests of Company
shall have all of the rights and benefits under this Agreement as if the term
"Company" explicitly referred to such party, and no such assignment shall in any
way impair the rights and benefits of Company hereunder. Neither Seller nor the
Servicer shall have the right to assign its rights or obligations under this
Agreement.

               (b) 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 Company shall be required
prior to the effectiveness of any such assignment. In addition, so long as no
Amortization Event or Potential Amortization Event has occurred and is
continuing, each such assignee of any Financial Institution shall be subject to
approval by Seller, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed; provided, that assignments by an Financial Institution

                                    Page 37
<PAGE>
to any Affiliate to any Affiliate of such Financial Institution, shall not be
subject to the consent of the Seller. Each assignee of a Financial Institution
must (i) have a short-term debt rating of A-1 or better by S&P and P-1 by
Moody's and (ii) agree to deliver to the Agent, promptly following any request
therefor by the Agent or Company, an enforceability opinion in form and
substance satisfactory to the Agent and Company. 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 under this Agreement to the same extent
as if it were an original party hereto and no further consent or action by
Seller, the Purchasers or the Agent shall be required.

               (c) 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 S&P and
P-1 by Moody's (an "Affected Financial Institution"), such Affected Financial
Institution shall be obliged, at the request of Company or the Agent, to assign
all of its rights and obligations hereunder to (x) another Financial Institution
or (y) another funding entity nominated by the Agent and acceptable to Company,
and willing to participate in this Agreement and the related Liquidity 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 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.

          Section 12.2 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, its obligation to the Company pursuant
to a Liquidity Agreement 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 Seller, 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 13.1(b)(i).

          Section 12.3 Terminating Financial Institutions.

               (a) Each Financial Institution hereby agrees to deliver written
notice to the Agent and Seller not more than 30 Business Days and not less than
5 Business Days prior to the Liquidity Termination Date indicating whether such
Financial Institution intends to renew its Commitment hereunder. If any
Financial Institution fails to deliver such notice on or prior to the date that
is 5 Business Days prior to the Liquidity Termination Date, such Financial
Institution

                                    Page 38
<PAGE>
will be deemed to have declined to renew its Commitment (each Financial
Institution which has declined or has been deemed to have declined to renew its
Commitment hereunder, a "Non-Renewing Financial Institution"). The Agent shall
promptly notify Company of each Non-Renewing Financial Institution and Company,
in its sole discretion, may (A) to the extent of Commitment Availability,
declare that such Non-Renewing Financial Institution's Commitment shall, to such
extent, automatically terminate on a date specified by Company on or before the
Liquidity Termination Date or (B) upon one (1) Business Days' notice to such
Non-Renewing Financial Institution assign to such Non-Renewing Financial
Institution on a date specified by Company its Pro Rata Share of the aggregate
Purchaser Interests then held by Company, subject to, and in accordance with the
applicable Liquidity Agreement. In addition, Company may, in its sole
discretion, at any time (x) to the extent of Commitment Availability, declare
that any Affected Financial Institution's Commitment shall automatically
terminate on a date specified by Company or (y) assign to any Affected Financial
Institution on a date specified by Company its Pro Rata Share of the aggregate
Purchaser Interests then held by Company, subject to, and in accordance with the
applicable Liquidity Agreement (each Affected Financial Institution or each
Non-Renewing Financial Institution is hereinafter referred to as a "Terminating
Financial Institution"). The parties hereto expressly acknowledge that any
declaration of the termination of any Commitment, any assignment pursuant to
this Section 12.3 and the order of priority of any such termination or
assignment among Terminating Financial Institutions shall be made by Company in
its sole and absolute discretion.

               (b) Upon any assignment to a Terminating Financial Institution as
provided in this Section 12.3, any remaining Commitment of such Terminating
Financial Institution shall automatically terminate. 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" hereunder; 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.

                                  ARTICLE XIII
                                  MISCELLANEOUS

          Section 13.1 Waivers and Amendments. (a) 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.

               (b) No provision of this Agreement may be amended, supplemented,
modified or waived except in writing in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 13.1(b). Company, Seller and, at the direction of the Required Financial
Institutions, the Agent, may enter

                                    Page 39
<PAGE>
into written modifications or waivers of any provisions of this Agreement,
provided, however, that no such modification or waiver shall:

                    (i) without the consent of each affected Purchaser, (A)
extend the Liquidity Termination Date or the date of any payment or deposit of
Collections by Seller or the Servicer, (B) reduce the rate or extend the time of
payment of Yield or any CP Costs (or any component of Yield or CP Costs), (C)
reduce any fee payable to the Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers, (D)
except pursuant to Article XII hereof, change the amount of the Capital of any
Purchaser, any Financial Institution's Pro Rata Share (except as may be required
pursuant to a Liquidity Agreement) or any Financial Institution's Commitment,
(E) amend, modify or waive any provision of the definition of Required Financial
Institutions or this Section 13.1(b), (F) consent to or permit the assignment or
transfer by Seller of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement,
(G) change the definition of "Eligible Receivable", "Receivable", "New Division
Receivable" or any of the terms used in the determination of "Aggregate
Reserves" or (H) amend or modify any defined term (or any 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;

                    (ii) 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 the Agent; or

                    (iii) without the written consent of the then Servicer,
amend, modify or waive any provision of this Agreement if the effect thereof is
to affect the rights or duties of the Servicer;

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) without the consent of the Financial
Institutions, but with the consent of Seller, the Agent may amend this Agreement
solely to add additional Persons as Financial Institutions hereunder and (ii)
the Agent, the Required Financial Institutions and Company may enter into
amendments to modify any of the terms or provisions of Article XI, Article XII
or Section 13.13 without the consent of Seller, provided that such amendment has
no negative impact upon Seller. Any modification or waiver made in accordance
with this Section 13.1 shall apply to each of the Purchasers equally and shall
be binding upon Seller, the Purchasers and the Agent.

          Section 13.2 Notices. Except as provided in this Section 13.2, all
communications and notices provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including
bank wire, telecopy or electronic facsimile transmission or similar writing) and
shall be given to the other parties hereto at their respective addresses or
telecopy numbers set forth on the signature pages hereof or at such other
address or telecopy number as such Person may hereafter specify for the purpose
of notice to each of the other parties hereto. Each such notice or other
communication shall be effective (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 13.2. Seller hereby authorizes the Agent to effect purchases and Tranche
Period and Discount Rate selections based on telephonic notices made by any
Person whom the Agent in good faith believes to be acting on behalf of Seller.
Seller agrees to deliver promptly to the

                                    Page 40
<PAGE>
Agent a written confirmation of each telephonic notice signed by an Authorized
Officer of 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 the Agent, the records of the Agent shall govern absent manifest
error. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, any
communications or notices delivered by telecopy, electronic facsimile or similar
writing after 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on any day shall be deemed to have
been delivered to such Person on the Business Day immediately following such
day.

          Section 13.3 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.

          Section 13.4 Protection of Ownership Interests of the Purchasers.

               (a) 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 desirable, or that the Agent may reasonably
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. At any time, the Agent may, or the Agent may direct Seller
or the Servicer to, notify the Obligors of Receivables, at Seller's 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. Seller or the
Servicer (as applicable) shall, at any Purchaser's request, withhold the
identity of such Purchaser in any such notification.

               (b) If Seller or Servicer 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 expenses incurred in connection therewith shall be payable
by Seller as provided in Section 10.3. Seller 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 Seller (i)
within the meaning of Section 9-509 of any applicable enactment of the UCC, as
secured party for the benefit of itself and of the Purchasers, to file against
the Seller or any Originator, as debtors, the UCC financing statements
contemplated herein and under the Receivables Sale Agreements (ii) to file
financing statements 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 (iii) 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

                                    Page 41
<PAGE>
the interests of the Purchasers in the Receivables. This appointment is coupled
with an interest and is irrevocable.

               (a) Each party hereto 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 other parties
hereto and their respective businesses obtained by it or them in connection with
the structuring, negotiating and execution of the transactions contemplated

confidentiality of the terms of the Fee Letter and the terms used in the
determination of any Special Concentration Limit, the definition of "LIBO Rate",
the definition of "Aggregate Reserves" or any other terms or provisions
identified by JPMorgan as containing confidential commercial or financial
information. In addition, the Transaction Information may be disclosed by the
Seller or its Affiliates to any Person with the Agent's prior written consent.

               (b) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Seller and
Servicer hereby consents to the disclosure of any nonpublic information with
respect to it (i) to the Agent, the Financial Institutions or Company by each
other, (ii) by the Arranger, the Agent or the Purchasers to any prospective or

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).

Servicer, each Purchaser, the Agent, the Arranger, each Indemnified Party and
any successor or assign of any of the foregoing (and each employee,

arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or other similar proceeding
under the laws of the United States or any state of the United States. The
provisions of this Section 13.6 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

agents for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages in respect

of or related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or any act,

special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, whether or not accrued and
whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

          Section 13.11 Integration; Binding Effect; Survival of Terms.

               (a) This Agreement and each other Transaction Document contain
the final and complete integration of all prior expressions by the parties
hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall constitute the entire
agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof
superseding all prior oral or written understandings.

               (b) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit
of 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 Seller or
Servicer pursuant to Article V, (ii) the indemnification and payment provisions
of Article X, and Sections 13.5 and 13.6 shall be continuing and shall survive
any termination of this Agreement.

          Section 13.12 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

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

sections of, and schedules and exhibits to, this Agreement.

from time to time for Company or any Financial Institution (collectively, the
"JPMorgan Roles"). Without limiting the generality of this Section 13.13, each
Financial Institution hereby acknowledges and consents to any and all JPMorgan
Roles and agrees that in connection with any JPMorgan Role, JPMorgan may take,
or refrain from taking, any action that it, in its discretion, deems
appropriate, including, without limitation, in its role as administrative agent
for Company, and the giving of notice to the Agent of a mandatory purchase
pursuant to a Liquidity Agreement.

          Section 13.14 Characterization. (a) 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 Seller or Servicer;
provided, however, that (i) Seller shall be liable to (A) each Purchaser and the
Agent for all representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities made by
Seller pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and (B) the Agent, the Purchasers
and the Servicer for the items described in Section 2.1 of this Agreement, (ii)
Servicer shall be liable to each Purchaser and the Agent for all
representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities made by Servicer pursuant
to the terms of this Agreement and (iii) 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 Seller or any Originator or any other
Person arising in connection with the Receivables, the Related Assets, or the
related Contracts, or any other obligations of Seller or any Originator.

               (b) In addition to any ownership interest which the Agent may
from time to time acquire pursuant hereto, Seller hereby grants to the Agent for
the ratable benefit of the Purchasers a valid and perfected security interest in
all of 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 Assets with respect to such Receivables, all other rights
with respect 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.

          Section 13.15 Limited Recourse.

               (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
the obligations of the Company under this Agreement are solely the obligations
of the Company and, in the case of obligations of the Company other than
Commercial Paper, shall be payable at such time as funds are received by or are
available to the Company in excess of funds necessary to pay in full all
outstanding Commercial Paper and, to the extent funds are not available to pay
such obligations, the claims relating thereto shall not constitute a claim
against the Company but shall continue to accrue. Each party hereto agrees that
the payment of any claim (as defined in the Federal Bankruptcy Code) of any such
party as against the Company shall be subordinated to the payment in full of all
Commercial Paper.

               (b) The Agent and the Purchasers acknowledge and agree that
Seller is a separate legal entity from the Originators, the Servicer and
Provider. The Agent and the Purchasers further acknowledge and agree that the
Seller itself is not granting recourse to the stock or assets of the
Originators, the Servicer or the Provider; provided however, that Agent and the
Purchasers have claims and nothing herein shall be construed to impair,
subordinate, or in any way limit the claims of the Agent and the Purchasers (i)
against the Servicer under this Agreement, (ii) against the Originators under
the Receivables Sale Agreements (as assignee of all of the Seller's right, title
and interest in the Receivables Sale Agreements) and (iii) against the Provider
under the Performance Undertaking (as assignee of all of the Seller's right,
title and

                                    Page 45
<PAGE>
interest in the Performance Undertaking). In addition, for purposes of
clarification and without in any way limiting Cott's obligations as Servicer
hereunder, nothing in this Agreement shall cause Cott to be directly or
indirectly liable for any indebtedness (as reflected as a liability on the
balance sheet) of the Seller created hereunder or constitute credit support for
any indebtedness (as reflected as a liability on a balance sheet) of the Seller
created hereunder.

     prejudice to any guarantee, security or indemnity in respect of any of the
     Liabilities now or hereafter given to the Security Agent (in its capacity
     as such or in other relevant capacity) by the Mortgagor or any other
     person.

7.2  The Mortgagor acknowledges that this Mortgage shall constitute a continuing
     security for the performance of the Liabilities and that, except as
     provided in Clause 14, the security constituted by this Mortgage shall not
     be discharged or otherwise prejudiced nor shall the liability of the
     Mortgagor hereunder be in any way lessened or affected by any failure of
     the Security Agent to take or enforce any other security for the
     Liabilities or any invalidity of any other security taken.

                                                                              10

7.3  No failure to exercise and no failure or delay on the part of the Security
     Agent in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate
     as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right,
     power, or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the
     exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies
     herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or
     remedies provided by law and, for the avoidance of doubt, the Security
     Agent shall not be obliged to sell the Mortgaged Securities in the event
     that this Mortgage shall become enforceable but shall be entitled to
     enforce the same in such manner as it sees fit (in accordance with
     applicable laws).

7.4  Subject to Clause 14, until the security constituted by this Mortgage is
     released or discharged in respect of the Mortgaged Securities (or relevant
     part thereof) the Security Agent may retain all share certificates,
     relevant instruments and documents of title deposited under Clause 3.

8.   Voting Rights and Dividends

8.1  Until this Mortgage becomes enforceable in accordance with Clause 9.1, the
     Mortgagor shall be entitled to:

     (A)  receive all dividends, interest and other monies arising from or
          receivable pursuant to the Mortgaged Securities; and

     (B)  exercise all voting rights (whether in its own name or through its
          nominee(s) or proxies) in respect of each of the Mortgaged Securities
          provided that no vote shall be cast or right exercised or other action
          taken that would be result in any breach of the terms and conditions
          of this Mortgage.

8.2  Upon this Mortgage becoming enforceable in accordance with Clause 9.1, the
     Mortgagor shall not be entitled thereafter (unless and until this Mortgage
     shall have been released) to exercise any voting rights in respect of any
     of the Mortgaged Securities and the Security Agent or its nominee(s) may at
     any time at the Security Agent's discretion exercise any voting rights and
     all the powers which may be exercised by the person or persons in whose
     name or names the Mortgaged Securities are registered. The Security Agent
     shall promptly notify the Mortgagor of any such exercise of voting rights
     or powers under this Clause.

8.3  The Security Agent or its nominee(s) need not vote at any meeting or
     exercise any rights in relation to the Mortgaged Securities and shall not
     be responsible for loss occasioned by a failure to act or delay in so
     acting. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Security Agent shall consider in
     good faith any request by the Mortgagor or the Obligor to exercise its
     voting or other rights in relation to the Mortgaged Securities under Clause
     8.2 and shall so act if, in its absolute discretion, it sees fit.

9.   Enforcement of Security

9.1  The Security Agent shall be entitled to enforce all or any part of the
     security constituted by this Mortgage after the Enforcement Date provided
     that the relevant event referred to in the definition of the Enforcement

9.2  At any time after this Mortgage shall have become enforceable in accordance
     with Clause 9.1, the Security Agent may:-

     (A)  appoint one or more Receivers; or

                                       6

     (B)  do any thing that a Receiver could do under Clause 10.

9.3  Upon any disposal, sale, transfer or assignment of the Mortgaged Securities
     or any part thereof the purchaser shall not be bound to enquire whether the
     power of sale has arisen in manner herein provided and the sale shall be
     deemed to be within the power of the Security Agent and the receipt of the
     Security Agent for any purchase monies shall effectively discharge the
     purchaser who shall not be concerned with the manner of application of the
     proceeds of sale or be in any way answerable therefor.

     applicable legislation) and, in particular:

     (B)  to take possession of, collect and get in all or any part of the

     (E)  to sell, transfer, assign or otherwise dispose of or deal with all or
          any of the Security Agent's rights in respect of such Mortgaged
          Securities under this Mortgage,

     (F)  to receive all rights, dividends, distributions, monies, warrants or
          property paid, accruing or deriving directly or indirectly from the
          Mortgaged Securities at any time by way of bonus, preference, option,
          dividend, interest or otherwise;

     (G)  to exercise all voting rights (whether in its own name or through its
          nominee(s) or proxies) in respect of each of the Mortgaged Securities;
          and

     (H)  to do all such other acts and things as the applicable law allows the
          owner or a mortgagee or a Receiver of the Mortgaged Securities to do
          and as may be considered to be incidental or conductive to any of the
          matters or powers aforesaid.

10.2 In exercising its power to appoint a Receiver, the Security Agent may
     appoint a Receiver to all or any part of the Mortgaged Securities.

10.3 Where more than one Receiver is appointed they shall have power to act
     severally (unless the Security Agent shall specify to the contrary) in

     Mortgaged Securities shall not preclude the Security

     Agent from making a subsequent appointment of a Receiver over any part of
     the Mortgaged Securities over which an appointment has not previously been
     made by the Security Agent.

10.4 The Security Agent may from time to time determine the remuneration of the
     Receiver and may at any time remove the Receiver from all or any part of
     the Mortgaged Securities of which he is the Receiver and after the Receiver
     has vacated office or ceased to act in respect of any of the Mortgaged
     Securities appoint a further Receiver over all or any part in respect of
     which he shall have ceased to act.

10.5 The Receiver shall be the agent of the Mortgagor (who shall be solely
     liable for his acts, defaults and remuneration, unless and until the
     Mortgagor goes into liquidation and thereafter he shall act as principal
     and shall not become the agent of the Security Agent) and shall be entitled
     to exercise all powers contained in the Law of Property Act 1925 (or any
     equivalent applicable legislation) in the same way as if appointed
     thereunder.

11.  Distribution and Payments

11.1 Subject to Clause 11.2, all moneys from time to time received by the
     Security Agent or a Receiver under or pursuant to this Mortgage, whether
     from the enforcement of this Mortgage or otherwise, shall be applied by the
     Security Agent as follows:-

     (A)  in the payment of all reasonable costs, charges, losses, liabilities
          and expenses of and incidental to the exercise of any of its rights
          including its remuneration and all outgoings paid by it and
          liabilities incurred by it as a result of such exercise;

     (B)  in or towards discharge of the Liabilities in such order or manner as
          the Security Agent may select; and

     (C)  in payment of any surplus to the Mortgagor or such other person as the
          Mortgagor may direct.

11.2 (A)  Where any amount from time to time received by the Security Agent
          under or pursuant to this Mortgage is equal to (or exceeds) the
          Redemption Amount then due and payable to the Beneficiaries under the
          Note plus any sum then due under this Mortgage, the Liabilities shall
          be reduced to zero and the Security Agent shall have no further
          entitlement under this Mortgage, nor shall the Beneficiaries have any
          further entitlements under the Note, as from the date of full payment
          of such amount. In these circumstances, the Note (or relevant part
          thereof registered in the names of the Beneficiaries) shall be
          cancelled and the Security Agent hereby undertakes to deliver (or
          procure the delivery of) the Certificate(s) relating to their
          entitlement to the Note to the Mortgagor (together with duly executed
          Transfer Forms and any other documentation required to effect
          cancellation thereof).

     (B)  Where any amount from time to time received by the Security Agent
          under or pursuant to this Mortgage is less than the Redemption Amount
          then due and payable to the Beneficiaries under the Note plus any sum
          then due under this Mortgage, the amount so received shall be deemed
          to have been deducted from the Redemption Amount to which the
          Beneficiaries would otherwise be entitled as at the date of such
          payment, so that as from such date interest shall accrue under the
          Note in respect of the remaining amount of the Redemption Amount to
          which such Beneficiaries are entitled after such deduction and all
          references in the Conditions (including, without limitation, to the
          Redemption Amount and the

          Principal Amount), and all references in this Mortgage (including,
          without limitation, to Liabilities), shall be construed accordingly.

     (C)  Where, after the date on which this Mortgage becomes enforceable in
          accordance with Clause 9.1 but prior to the date of payment to (or
          receipt by) the Security Agent of any Liabilities, any right or option
          is exercised (or notice of the exercise thereof is served) in
          accordance with the Conditions as a result of which the Redemption
          Amount payable to the Beneficiaries under the Note is (or would be)
          reduced (including, without limitation, by reason of the issue of a
          Conversion Notice or the transfer by a Beneficiary of any part of the
          Note then registered in its name to a person who is not a member of
          the Telstra Group), all references in this Mortgage to Liabilities
          shall be read and construed as references to the amount (if any)
          thereof which would remain payable to the Beneficiaries after the
          exercise of the relevant right or option).

11.3 Each payment to be made by the Mortgagor under this Mortgage shall be made
     to the Security Agent, in the appropriate currency in accordance with the
     terms hereof, to such account as the Security Agent may from time to time
     direct.

11.4 (A)  All payments by the Mortgagor under this Mortgage shall be made on
          the due date therefor in same day funds free and clear of any
          withholdings or deductions for any present or future taxes, imposts,
          levies, duties, assessments or other governmental charges imposed or
          levied by or on behalf of Bermuda, Hong Kong or, in each case, by or
          within any political subdivision thereof or any authority therein
          having power to tax. In the event that the Mortgagor is required to
          make any such deduction or withholding from any amount paid hereunder,
          the Mortgagor shall pay to the Security Agent such additional amount
          ("additional amount") as shall be necessary so that the Security Agent
          receives a net amount equal to the full amount which it would have
          received if such withholding or deduction had not been made. When
          making payments to the Security Agent, fractions of one cent will be
          rounded down to the nearest cent.

     (B)  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligation of the Mortgagor to pay
          such additional amount shall not apply with respect to (i) any taxes
          imposed on the overall net income of the Security Agent arising from
          the carrying on of business or trade in Bermuda or in Hong Kong, or
          (ii) any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer or personal
          property tax or any similar taxes, duties, assessments or other
          governmental charges, or (iii) any taxes, duties, assessments or other
          governmental charges that are payable otherwise than by deduction or
          withholding from payments on this Mortgage.

     (C)  In the event that any additional amount actually paid with respect to
          this Mortgage is based on rates of deduction or withholding in excess
          of the appropriate rate applicable to the Security Agent, and, as a
          result thereof, the Security Agent is entitled to make a claim for a
          refund or credit of such excess, then the Security Agent shall make
          all reasonable efforts to submit any such claim for a refund or credit
          of such excess and to pay the amount recovered (or other benefit
          received) in respect thereof to the Mortgagor forthwith after receipt.
          The Security Agent shall give reasonable assistance to the Mortgagor
          to maximise the recovery of any additional amount paid by the
          Mortgagor under Clause 11.4(A) but without any liability on the part
          of the Security Agent to incur any additional obligations (whether for
          tax or otherwise) in order to provide such assistance.

     (D)  References in this Mortgage to any amount payable hereunder shall be
          deemed also to refer to any additional amount which may be payable in
          respect thereof under this Clause 11.4.

12.  Assignment and Transfer

     The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that this Mortgage is issued
     solely for the benefit of the Security Agent in its capacity as such and in
     its capacity as the Initial Noteholder. Accordingly, the Security Agent may
     not assign or transfer any of its title, rights, benefits or obligations
     under this Mortgage or enter into any transaction or arrangement which
     would result in any of those title, rights, benefits or obligations passing
     to or being held in trust for or for the benefit of another person.

13.  Further Assurance and Power of Attorney

13.1 The Mortgagor undertakes to execute and do all such assurances, acts and
     things as the Security Agent may consider necessary or desirable for
     obtaining the full benefit of this Mortgage and the right, title, interest,
     authorisations and discretions herein contained and, in particular, to
     execute all transfers, conveyances, assignments and assurances of the
     Mortgaged Securities whether to the Security Agent or to its nominee(s) or
     purchasers and give all notices, orders and directions which the Security
     Agent may think expedient for the purposes of this Clause.

13.2 The Mortgagor hereby appoints the Security Agent with full power of
     substitution to be its attorney and in its name or otherwise on its behalf
     and as its act or deed to sign, seal, execute, deliver, perfect and do all
     deeds, instruments, acts, directions and things to any nominee for the time
     being holding any of the Mortgaged Securities on behalf of the Mortgagor
     and all such other documents whatsoever which the Security Agent may
     consider to be necessary (acting reasonably) for vesting or enabling the
     Security Agent to vest the Mortgaged Securities or any of them in itself or
     in its nominee or nominees or in any purchaser and to execute, seal,
     deliver and otherwise perfect any deed, assurance, agreement, instrument or
     act which may in the reasonable opinion of the Security Agent be required
     or be necessary for any of the purposes of this Mortgage and so that the
     appointment hereby made shall, to the extent of the matters described
     above, operate as a general power of attorney made under the laws of the
     Bermuda. The Security Agent shall not exercise any rights or powers under
     this power of attorney unless and until this Mortgage has become
     enforceable in accordance with Clause 9.1.

13.3 The Mortgagor ratifies and confirms and agrees to ratify and confirm
     whatever its attorney appointed by Clause 13.2 shall do or purport to do in
     the exercise or purported exercise of any of the powers, authorities and
     discretions conferred on it by the Mortgagor.

13.4 The Security Agent may enter (or procure the entry of) this Mortgage as a
     charge on any appropriate register and the Mortgagor agrees to procure
     execution by it of all relevant documents required by the Security Agent
     which are necessary to procure the registration of this Mortgage.

14.  Redelivery and Release

     As soon as reasonably practicable after the obligations of the Mortgagor
     under this Deed and the Liabilities have been discharged in full pursuant
     to the respective terms thereof, the Security Agent shall at the request

     Mortgagor of the Shares and all documents deposited pursuant to Clause 3,

     relevant part thereof (if necessary) and all other documents, instruments
     or agreements (whether under hand or by deed) and (iii) take all other
     steps that may be necessary or desirable to redeliver the relevant Shares
     or the remainder thereof to vest the same in the Mortgagor and to

     Business Days after receipt of the documents redelivered by the Security
     Agent hereunder, deliver (or procure the delivery of) the certificates and
     blank instruments of transfer representing the number of Shares then

     of security in respect of such number of Shares pursuant to this Clause
     14).

     The Security Agent may choose when, where, how and how often to exercise
     each of its rights, powers and remedies as provided by this Mortgage or by
     law. No failure on the part of the Security Agent to exercise, nor any
     delay on its part in exercising, any such right, power or remedy shall
     impair the same or operate or be construed as a waiver thereof, nor shall
     any single, partial or defective exercise of any such right, power or
     remedy preclude any further or other exercise thereof or the exercise of
     any other such right, power or remedy. The rights, powers and remedies
     provided in this Mortgage are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights,
     powers or remedies provided by law.

17.  Partial Invalidity

     If, at any time, any provision of this Mortgage is or becomes illegal,
     invalid or unenforceable in any respect under any law of any jurisdiction,
     such illegality, invalidity or unenforceability or ineffectiveness shall

     transaction, conveyance or transfer in connection with the liability is
     void or voidable under law relating to insolvency or the protection of
     creditors generally or for any other reason and the claim is upheld,
     conceded or compromised, then:

     (A)  the Security Agent is entitled immediately as against the Mortgagor to
          the rights in respect of the liability to which it would have been
          entitled if all or that part of that payment, obligation, settlement,
          transaction, conveyance or transfer had not taken place; and

     (B)  promptly on request from the Security Agent, the Mortgagor agrees to
          do any act and sign any document to restore to the Security Agent any
          security interest or guarantee held by it from the Mortgagor
          immediately before that payment, obligation, settlement, transaction,
          conveyance or transfer.

22.  Law and Jurisdiction

22.1 This Mortgage shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the
     laws of England.

22.2 In relation to any Proceedings, each of the Mortgagor and the Security
     Agent irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts
     of England and waives any objection to Proceedings in such courts on the
     grounds of venue or on the grounds that Proceedings have been brought in an
     inappropriate forum. The taking of Proceedings in one or more jurisdictions
     shall not preclude the taking of Proceedings in any other jurisdiction
     (whether concurrently or not).

22.3 (A)  The Security Agent irrevocably appoints Telstra Corporation Limited of
          44 Paul Street, London EC2A 4LB as its process agent to receive on its
          behalf service of process of any Proceedings in England.

     (B)  The Mortgagor irrevocably appoints Simmlaw Services Limited of
          CityPoint, One Ropemaker Street, London EC2Y 9SS as its process agent
          to receive on its behalf service of process of any Proceedings in
          England.

     (C)  If for any reason the relevant process agent ceases to be able to act
          as process agent or no longer has an address in England, each of the
          Security Agent and the Mortgagor irrevocably agree to appoint a
          substitute process agent with an address in England acceptable to the
          other parties and to deliver to the other parties a copy of the
          substitute process agent's acceptance of that appointment within 30
          days. In the event that the Security Agent fails to appoint a
          substitute process agent, it shall be effective service for the
          Mortgagor or the Security Agent (as the case may be) to serve the
          process upon the last known address in England of the last known
          process agent for the relevant party notified to the other parties
          notwithstanding that such process agent is no longer found at such
          address or has ceased to act provided that a copy of the proceedings
          is also sent to the relevant party's current registered office or
          principal place of business wherever situated. Nothing in this
          Mortgage shall affect the right to serve process in any other manner
          permitted by law.

      this document to be a deed and the Mortgagor executes
