RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AGREEMENT    
  

        
This Receivables Purchase Agreement,   dated as of December 12, 2001 is entered into by and among: 

        (a)  ADC
Receivables Corp. I, a Minnesota corporation (  "Seller"  ), 

        (b)  ADC
Telecommunications, Inc., a Minnesota corporation (  "ADC Telecom"  ), as initial Servicer, 

        (c)  Blue
Ridge Asset Funding Corporation, a Delaware corporation (  "Blue Ridge"  ), and 

        (d)  Wachovia
Bank, N.A., as agent for Blue Ridge and its assigns under the Transaction Documents and under the Liquidity Agreement (together with its successors and assigns
in such capacity, the  "Agent"  ). 

Unless defined elsewhere herein, capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in Exhibit I.  

 
 

PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS  

        Seller
desires to transfer and assign Receivable Interests from time to time. 

        Blue
Ridge shall purchase Receivable Interests from Seller from time to time either by issuing its Commercial Paper or by availing itself of a Liquidity Funding to the extent available. 

        Wachovia
Bank, N.A. has been requested and is willing to act as Agent on behalf of Blue Ridge and its assigns in accordance with the terms hereof. 

 
 

ARTICLE I.    
    
    PURCHASE ARRANGEMENTS    
  

        Section
1.1    Purchase Facility.    

        (a)  Upon
the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Article VI), from time to time after the execution of the First
Amendment but prior to the Facility Termination Date, Seller may request that Blue Ridge purchase from Seller undivided ownership interests in the Receivables and the associated Related Security and
Collections, and Blue Ridge shall make such Purchase;  provided that  no Purchase shall be made by Blue Ridge if, after giving effect thereto, either (i)the Aggregate Invested Amount would exceed
the Purchase Limit, or (ii) the aggregate
of the Receivable Interests would exceed 100%. It is the intent of Blue Ridge to fund the Purchases by the issuance of Commercial Paper. If for any reason Blue Ridge is unable, or determines that it
is undesirable, to issue Commercial Paper to fund or maintain its investment in the Receivable Interests, or is unable for any reason to repay such Commercial Paper upon the maturity thereof, Blue
Ridge will avail itself of a Liquidity Funding to the extent available. If Blue Ridge funds or refinances its investment in a Receivable Interest through a Liquidity Fundings, in lieu of paying CP
Costs on the Invested Amount pursuant to Article III hereof, Seller will pay Yield thereon at the Alternate Base Rate or the LIBO Rate, selected in accordance with Article IV hereof.
Nothing herein shall be deemed to constitute a commitment of Blue Ridge to issue Commercial Paper. 

        (b)  Seller
may, upon at least 5 Business Days' notice to the Agent, terminate in whole or reduce in part, the unused portion of the Purchase Limit;  provided that   each partial reduction of the Purchase
Limit shall be in an amount equal to $10,000,000 (or a larger integral multiple of $1,000,000 if in excess thereof). 

        Section
1.2    Incremental Purchases.    Seller shall provide the Agent with at least two (2) Business Days'
prior written notice in a form set forth as Exhibit II hereto of each Incremental Purchase (each, 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 not be less 

 

than $1,000,000 or a larger integral multiple of $100,000) and the Purchase Date (which, in the case of any Incremental Purchase after the initial Purchase hereunder, shall only be on a Settlement
Date). Following receipt of a Purchase Notice, the Agent will determine whether Blue Ridge will fund the requested Incremental Purchase through the issuance of Commercial Paper or through a Liquidity
Funding. If Blue Ridge determines to fund an Incremental Purchase through a Liquidity Funding, Seller may cancel the Purchase Notice or, in the absence of such a cancellation, the Incremental Purchase
will be funded through a Liquidity Funding. The Agent shall notify the Seller as soon as possible of any determination by Blue Ridge to fund any Incremental Purchase through a Liquidity Funding. On
each Purchase Date, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article VI, Blue Ridge shall deposit to the Facility Account, in immediately available funds, no later
than 2:00 p.m. (New York time), an amount equal to the requested Purchase Price. 

        Section
1.3    Decreases.    Seller shall provide the Agent with prior written notice in conformity with the Required
Notice Period (a  "Reduction Notice"  ) of any proposed reduction of Aggregate Invested Amount. Such Reduction Notice shall designate (i) the date (the  "Proposed
Reduction Date"  ) upon which any such reduction of Aggregate Invested Amount shall occur (which date shall give effect to the applicable Required Notice Period), and (ii) the amount of
Aggregate Invested Amount to be reduced which shall be applied ratably to all Receivable Interests in accordance with the respective Invested Amounts thereof (the  "Aggregate Reduction"  ). Only
one (1) Reduction Notice shall be outstanding at any time. 

        Section
1.4    Deemed Collections; Purchase Limit.    

        (a)  If
on any day: 

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

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

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

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

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

then,
on such day, Seller shall be deemed to have received a Collection of such Receivable (A) in the case of clauses (i)-(iv) above, in the amount of such reduction or cancellation or
the difference between the actual Outstanding Balance and the amount included in calculating such Net Pool Balance, as applicable; and (B) in the case of clause (v) above, in the amount
of the Outstanding Balance of such Receivable and, effective as of the next succeeding Settlement Date shall pay to the Agent's Account the amount of any such Collection deemed to have been received
in the same manner as actual cash Collections are distributed under the terms of this Agreement. 

        (b)  Seller
shall ensure that the Aggregate Invested Amount at no time exceeds the Purchase Limit. If at any time the Aggregate Invested Amount exceeds the Purchase Limit,
Seller shall pay to the Agent immediately an amount to be applied to reduce the Aggregate Invested Amount (as 

2

 

allocated by the Agent), such that after giving effect to such payment the Aggregate Invested Amount is less than or equal to the Purchase Limit. 

        (c)  Seller
shall also ensure that the Receivable Interests shall at no time exceed in the aggregate 100%. If the aggregate of the Receivable Interests exceeds 100%, Seller
shall pay to the Agent on or before the next succeeding Settlement Date (or, if such excess is discovered on a Settlement Date, on such Settlement Date) an amount to be applied to reduce the Aggregate
Invested Amount (as allocated by the Agent), such that after giving effect to such payment the aggregate of the Receivable Interests equals or is less than 100%. 

        Section
1.5    Payment Requirements and Computations.    All amounts to be paid or deposited by any Seller Party
pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be paid or deposited in accordance with the terms hereof no later than 12:00 noon (New York time) on the day when due in immediately available funds,
and if not received before 12:00 noon (New York time) shall be deemed to be received on the next succeeding Business Day. If such amounts are payable to the Agent for the account of Blue Ridge, they
shall be paid to the Agent's Account, for the account of Blue Ridge until otherwise notified by the Agent. Upon notice to Seller, the Agent may debit the Facility Account for all amounts due and
payable hereunder. All computations of CP Costs, 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 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 of Recourse Obligations.    Seller hereby promises to pay the following (collectively, the  "Recourse Obligations"
): 

        (a)  all
amounts due and owing under Section 1.3 or 1.4 on the dates specified therein; 

        (b)  the
fees set forth in the Fee Letter on the dates specified therein; 

        (c)  all
accrued and unpaid Yield on the Receivable Interests accruing Yield at the Alternate Base Rate or the Default Rate on each Settlement Date applicable thereto; 

        (d)  all
accrued and unpaid Yield on the Receivable Interests accruing Yield at the LIBO Rate on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto; 

        (e)  all
accrued and unpaid CP Costs on the Receivable Interests funded with Commercial Paper on each Settlement Date; and 

        (f)    all
Broken Funding Costs and Indemnified Amounts upon demand. 

        Section
2.2    Collections Prior to the Facility Termination Date; Repayment of Certain Demand Advances.    

        (a)  Prior
to the Facility Termination Date, any Deemed Collections received by the Servicer and Blue Ridge's Portion of any Collections received by the 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 Facility Termination Date, Seller hereby requests and Blue Ridge hereby agrees to make, simultaneously with such receipt, a reinvestment (each, a  "Reinvestment"  ) with Blue Ridge's Portion of the balance of each and every Collection received by the Servicer such that after giving effect to such Reinvestment, the Invested Amount of such
Receivable Interest 

3

 

immediately after such receipt and corresponding Reinvestment shall be equal to the amount of Invested Amount immediately prior to such receipt. 

        (b)  On
each Settlement Date prior to the Facility Termination Date, the Servicer shall remit to the Agent's Account the amounts set aside during the preceding Settlement
Period that have not been subject to a Reinvestment and (after deduction of its Servicing Fee) apply such amounts (if not previously paid in accordance with Section 2.1) to the Aggregate
Unpaids in the order specified: 

         first,   ratably to the payment of all accrued and unpaid CP Costs, Yield and Broken Funding Costs (if any) that are then due and
owing, 

        
second,   ratably to the payment of all accrued and unpaid fees under the Fee Letter (if any) that are then due and owing, 

        
third,   if required under Section 1.3 or 1.4, to the ratable reduction of Aggregate Invested Amount, 

         fourth,   for the ratable payment of all other unpaid Recourse Obligations, if any, that are then due and owing, and 

        
fifth,   the balance, if any, to Seller or otherwise in accordance with Seller's instructions. 

        (c)  If
the Collections are insufficient to pay the Servicing Fee and the Aggregate Unpaids specified above on any Settlement Date, Seller shall make demand upon ADC Telecom
for repayment of any outstanding Demand Advances in an aggregate amount equal to the lesser of (i) the amount of such shortfall in Collections, and (ii) the aggregate outstanding
principal balance of the Demand Advances, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and ADC Telecom hereby agrees to pay such amount to the Agent's Account on such Settlement Date. 

        Section
2.3    Repayment of Demand Advances on the Facility Termination Date; Collections.    

        (a)  On

Servicing Fee as of such date): (i) remit to the Agent's Account the amounts set aside pursuant to the preceding two sentences, and (ii) apply such amounts to reduce the Aggregate
Unpaids as follows:

         second,   ratably to the payment of all accrued and unpaid CP Costs, Yield and Broken Funding Costs, 

        
third,   ratably to the payment of all accrued and unpaid fees under the Fee Letter, 

        
fourth,   to the ratable reduction of Aggregate Invested Amount, 

        
fifth,   for the ratable payment of all other Aggregate Unpaids, and 

         sixth,   after the Final Payout Date, to Seller. 

4

 

        Section
2.4    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 thereon at the Default Rate from the date of any such recission, return or refunding. 

        Section
2.5    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 Invested Amount to a level that is less than
10.0% of the original Purchase Limit, to repurchase all, but not less than all, of the then outstanding Receivable 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 to the Agent's Account. Such repurchase shall be without representation, warranty or recourse of any kind
by, on the part of, or against Blue Ridge or the Agent. 

 
 

ARTICLE III.    
    
    COMMERCIAL PAPER FUNDING    
  

        Section
3.1    CP Costs.    Seller shall pay CP Costs with respect to the Invested Amount of all Receivable Interests
funded through the issuance of Commercial Paper. Each Receivable Interest that is funded substantially with Pooled Commercial Paper will accrue CP Costs each day on a pro rata basis, based upon the
percentage share that the Invested Amount in respect of such Receivable Interest represents in relation to all assets held by Blue Ridge and funded substantially with related Pooled Commercial Paper. 

        Section
3.2    Calculation of CP Costs.    Not later than the 3rd Business Day immediately preceding
each Monthly Reporting Date, Blue Ridge shall calculate the aggregate amount of CP Costs applicable to its Receivable Interests for the Calculation Period then most recently ended and shall notify
Seller of such aggregate amount. 

        Section
3.3    CP Costs Payments.    On each Settlement Date, Seller shall pay to the Agent (for the benefit of Blue
Ridge) an aggregate amount equal to all accrued and unpaid CP Costs in respect of the Invested Amount of all Receivable Interests funded with Commercial Paper for the Calculation Period then most
recently ended in accordance with Article II. 

        Section
3.4    Default Rate.    From and after the occurrence of an Amortization Event, all Receivable Interests shall
accrue Yield at the Default Rate. 

 
 

ARTICLE IV.    
    
    LIQUIDITY FUNDINGS    
  

        Section
4.1    Liquidity Fundings.    Prior to the occurrence of an Amortization Event, the outstanding Invested
Amount of each Receivable Interest funded with a Liquidity Funding shall accrue Yield for each day during its Interest Period at either the LIBO Rate or the Alternate Base Rate in accordance
with the terms and conditions hereof. Until Seller gives the required notice to the Agent of another Yield Rate in accordance with Section 4.4, the initial Yield Rate for any Receivable
Interest funded with a Liquidity Funding shall be the Alternate Base Rate (unless the Default Rate is then applicable). If any undivided interest in a Receivable Interest initially funded with
Commercial Paper is sold to the Liquidity Banks pursuant to this Agreement and the Liquidity Agreement, such undivided interest in such Receivable Interest shall be deemed to have a Interest Period
commencing on the date of such sale. 

5

 

        Section
4.2    Yield Payments.    On the Settlement Date for each Receivable Interest that is funded with a Liquidity
Funding, Seller shall pay to the Agent (for the benefit of the Liquidity Banks) an aggregate amount equal to the accrued and unpaid Yield thereon for the entire Interest Period of each such Liquidity
Funding ending on such Settlement Date in accordance with Article II. 

        Section
4.3    Selection and Continuation of Interest Periods.    

        (a)  With
consultation from (and approval by) the Agent, Seller shall from time to time request Interest Periods for the Receivable Interests funded with Liquidity Fundings,  provided that   if at any time
any Liquidity Funding is outstanding, Seller shall always request Interest Periods such that at least one Interest Period shall end on the date specified in
clause (A) of the definition of Settlement Date. 

        (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 Interest Period (the  "Terminating Tranche"  ) for any Liquidity Funding,
may, effective on the last day of the Terminating Tranche: (i) divide any such Liquidity Funding into multiple Liquidity Fundings,
(ii) combine any such Liquidity Funding with one or more other Liquidity Fundings that have a Terminating Tranche ending on the same day as such Terminating Tranche or (iii) combine any
such Liquidity Funding with a new Liquidity Funding to be made by the Liquidity Banks on the day such Terminating Tranche ends. 

        Section
4.4    Liquidity Funding Yield Rates.    Seller may select the LIBO Rate (subject to Section 4.5 below)
or the Alternate Base Rate for each Liquidity Funding. Seller shall by 12:00 noon (New York 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 Yield Rate and (ii) at least one (1) Business Day prior to the expiration of any Terminating Tranche with respect to which
the Alternate Base Rate is being requested as a new Yield Rate, give the Agent irrevocable notice of the new Yield Rate for the Liquidity Funding associated with such Terminating Tranche. Until Seller
gives notice to the Agent of another Yield Rate, the initial Yield Rate for any Receivable Interest assigned or participated to the
Liquidity Banks pursuant to the Liquidity Agreement shall be the Alternate Base Rate (unless the Default Rate is then applicable). 

        Section
4.5    Suspension of the LIBO Rate.    

        (a)  If
any Liquidity Bank notifies the Agent that it has determined that funding its ratable share of the Liquidity Fundings 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
Liquidity Funding at such LIBO Rate are not available or (ii) such LIBO Rate does not accurately reflect the cost of acquiring or maintaining a Liquidity Funding at such LIBO Rate, then the
Agent shall suspend the availability of such LIBO Rate and require Seller to select the Alternate Base Rate for any Liquidity Funding accruing Yield at such LIBO Rate. 

        (b)  If
less than all of the Liquidity Banks give a notice to the Agent pursuant to Section 4.5(a), each Liquidity Bank which gave such a notice shall be obliged, at
the request of Seller, Blue Ridge or the Agent, to assign all of its rights and obligations hereunder to (i) another Liquidity Bank or (ii) another funding entity nominated by Seller or
the Agent that is an Eligible Assignee willing to participate in the Liquidity Agreement through the Liquidity Termination Date in the place of such notifying Liquidity Bank;  provided that  
(i) the notifying Liquidity Bank receives payment in full of all Aggregate Unpaids owing to it (whether due or accrued), and (ii) the replacement Liquidity Bank
otherwise satisfies the requirements of the Liquidity Agreement. 

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

ARTICLE V.    
    
    REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES    
  

        Section
5.1    Representations and Warranties of the Seller Parties.    Each Seller Party hereby represents and
warrants to the Agent and Blue Ridge, as to itself, as of the date hereof and as of the date of each Incremental Purchase and the date of each Reinvestment that:

in good standing as a foreign entity, and has and holds all organizational power and all governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals required to carry on its business in each

Party of this Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which it is a party, and the performance of its obligations hereunder and thereunder and, in the case of Seller, Seller's use of the

by-laws, (ii) any law, rule or regulation applicable to it, (iii) any restrictions under any agreement, contract or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of
its property is bound, or (iv) any order, writ, judgment, award, injunction or decree binding on or affecting it or its property, and do not result in the creation or imposition of any Adverse
Claim on assets of such Seller Party or its Subsidiaries (except as created hereunder) except, in any case, where such contravention or violation could not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect; and no transaction contemplated hereby requires compliance with any bulk sales act or similar law. 

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

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

        (f)    Binding Effect.    This Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which such Seller Party is a party
constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of such Seller Party enforceable against such Seller Party in accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar 

7

 

laws relating to or limiting creditors' rights generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law). 

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

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

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

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

        (k)    Places of Business and Locations of Records.    The principal places of business and chief executive office of
such Seller Party and the offices where it keeps all of its Records are located at the address(es) listed on Exhibit III or such other locations of which the Agent has been notified in
accordance with Section 7.2(a) in jurisdictions where all action required by Section 13.3(a) has been taken and completed. Seller's Federal Employer Identification Number or
organizational number is correctly set forth on Exhibit III. 

        (l)    Collections.    The conditions and requirements set forth in Section 7.1(j) and Section 8.2 have
at all times been satisfied and duly performed. The names, addresses and jurisdictions of organization 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 and control of any Lock-Box or Collection Account, or the right to take dominion and control of any such Lock-Box or Collection Account at a future time or
upon the occurrence of a future event. 

        (m)    Material Adverse Effect.    (i) The initial Servicer represents and warrants that since  [  June 30, 2001 
]  , no event has occurred that would have a material adverse effect on the financial 

8

 

condition or operations of the initial Servicer and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or the ability of the initial Servicer to perform its obligations under this Agreement, and (ii) Seller
represents and warrants that since the date of this Agreement, no event has occurred that would have a material adverse effect on (A) the financial condition or operations of Seller,
(B) the ability of Seller to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents, or (C) the collectibility of the Receivables generally or any material portion of the Receivables. 

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

        (o)    Ownership of Seller.    ADC Telecom owns, directly or indirectly, 100% of the issued and outstanding capital
stock of Seller, free and clear of any Adverse Claim. Such capital stock is validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and there are no options, warrants or other rights to acquire securities of
Seller. 

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

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

        (r)    Compliance with Credit and Collection Policy.    Such Seller Party has complied in all material respects with
the Credit and Collection Policy with regard to each Receivable and the related Contract, and has not made any material adverse change to such Credit and Collection Policy, except such material
adverse changes as to which the Agent has been notified in accordance with Section 7.1(a)(vii) and have given its prior written consent. 

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

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

9

  

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

        (v)    Purchase Limit and Maximum Receivable Interests.    Immediately after giving effect to each Incremental
Purchase hereunder, the Aggregate Invested Amount is less than or equal to the Purchase Limit and the aggregate of the Receivable Interests does not exceed 100%. 

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

 
 

ARTICLE VI.    
    
    CONDITIONS OF PURCHASES    
  

        Section
6.1    Conditions Precedent to Initial Incremental Purchase.    The initial Incremental Purchase of a
Receivable Interest under this Agreement is subject to the conditions precedent that (a) the Agent shall have received on or before the date of such Purchase those documents listed on
Schedule A and (b) the Agent shall have received all fees and expenses required to be paid on such date pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Fee Letter; provided that the
execution of this Agreement by the parties hereto shall not be deemed a waiver of any of the conditions precedent to the initial Incremental Purchase of a Receivable Interest under this Agreement in
any way. 

        Section
6.2    Conditions Precedent to All Purchases and Reinvestments.    Each Incremental Purchase and each
Reinvestment shall be subject to the further conditions precedent that (a) in the case of each such Purchase: (i) the Servicer shall have delivered to the Agent on or prior to the date
of such Purchase, in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent, all Monthly Reports as and when due under Section 8.5 and (ii) upon the Agent's request, the Servicer shall have
delivered to the Agent at least three (3) days prior to such Purchase an interim Monthly Report showing the amount of Eligible Receivables; (b) the Agent shall have received such other
approvals, opinions or documents as it may reasonably request
and (c) on each Purchase Date, the following statements shall be true (and acceptance of the proceeds of such Incremental Purchase or Reinvestment shall be deemed a representation and warranty
by Seller that such statements are then true): 

          (i)  the
representations and warranties set forth in Section 5.1 are true and correct on and as of the date of such Incremental Purchase or Reinvestment as though
made on and as of such Purchase Date; 

        (ii)  no
event has occurred and is continuing, or would result from such Incremental Purchase or Reinvestment, that will constitute an Amortization Event, and no event has

        (iii)  the
Aggregate Invested Amount does not exceed the Purchase Limit and the aggregate Receivable Interests do not exceed 100%. 

It
is expressly understood that each Reinvestment shall, unless otherwise directed by the Agent or Blue Ridge, occur automatically on each day that the Servicer shall receive any Collections without
the requirement that any further action be taken on the part of any Person and notwithstanding the failure of 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's Account, for the benefit 

10

 

of Blue Ridge, an amount equal to the Collections prior to the Facility Termination Date that shall have been applied to the affected Reinvestment.

to which it may be entitled under any indemnity, reimbursement or similar provision contained in the Receivables Sale Agreements. 

        (h)    Ownership.    Seller will (or will cause each Originator to) take all necessary action to (i) vest legal
and equitable title to the Purchased Assets purchased under the Receivables Sale 

13

 

Agreements irrevocably in Seller, free and clear of any Adverse Claims (other than Adverse Claims in favor of the Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties) including, without limitation, the
filing of all financing statements or other similar instruments or documents necessary under the UCC (or any comparable law) of all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect Seller's interest in such
Purchased Assets 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 Secured Parties, a valid and perfected first priority security interest in all Purchased
Assets, free and clear of any Adverse Claims, including, without limitation, the filing of all financing statements or other similar instruments or documents necessary under the UCC (or any comparable
law) of all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect the Agent's (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) security interest in the Purchased Assets and such other action to perfect, protect or more fully
evidence the interest of the Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties as the Agent may reasonably request. 

        (i)    Reliance.    Seller acknowledges that the Agent and Blue Ridge are entering into the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement in reliance upon Seller's identity as a legal entity that is separate from each Originator. Therefore, from and after the date of execution and delivery of this Agreement, Seller
shall take all reasonable steps, including, without limitation, all steps that the Agent or Blue Ridge 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 each Originator and any Affiliates thereof (other than Seller) and not just
a division of any Originator or any such Affiliate. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and in addition to the other covenants set forth herein, Seller will: 

        (A)  conduct
its affairs in accordance with the following provisions: 

        1.    it
will establish an office through which its business will be conducted, which office will be separate and apart from that of any person or entity owning beneficially
more than 50% of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Seller and will be separate and apart from that of any of such owner's Subsidiaries or Affiliates other than the Seller; 

        2.    it
will maintain separate corporate records and books of account, including financial records and books of account, from those of such owner, subsidiaries and affiliates
as are referred to in (c); in addition, if the Seller shall at any time prepare financial statements, the Seller shall prepare footnotes to such financial statements indicating that the assets of the
Seller are owned by the Seller and are not available to satisfy the claims of any creditor of any other entity; 

        3.    its
assets will not be commingled with those of any other person or entity; and 

        4.    its
Board of Directors will hold regular meetings, not less frequently than once every calendar year, to review the actions of the officers of the Seller and to authorize
and approve (1) all transactions outside the ordinary course of the Seller's business, and (2) such other transactions, agreements and actions of the Seller as the Board of Directors
deems appropriate in connection with its review and supervision of the Seller's actions. The Board of Directors must consider the interests of the creditors of the Seller in connection with all
corporate actions; 

        (B)  maintain
its bank accounts separate from any other person or entity; 

        (C)  conduct

an arm's length relationship with its affiliates and enter into transactions with affiliates only on a commercially reasonable basis; 

        (F)  pay
the salaries of its own employees from its own funds; 

        (G)  maintain
a sufficient number of employees in light of its contemplated business operations; 

        (H)  not

        (I)  allocate
fairly and reasonably any overhead expenses that are shared with an affiliate, including paying for office space and services performed by any employee of an
affiliate; 

        (J)  not
incur obligations in excess of $10,750 to any entity other than (1) purchasers of the accounts receivables pursuant to the transactions described in

        (K)  use
separate stationery, invoices and checks bearing its own name; 

        (L)  hold
itself out as a separate entity; and 

        (M)maintain
adequate capital in light of its contemplated business operations 

        (j)    Collections.    Such Seller Party 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 the Purchased Assets are remitted directly to Seller or any Affiliate of Seller, Seller will remit (or will cause all such payments to
be remitted) directly to a Collection Bank and deposited into a Collection Account within two (2) Business Days following receipt thereof, and, at all times prior to such remittance, Seller
will itself hold or, if applicable, will cause such payments to be held in trust for the exclusive benefit of the Agent and Blue Ridge. 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 a future time or upon the occurrence of a future event to any Person, except to the Agent as contemplated by this Agreement. 

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

        (l)    Payment to Applicable Originator.    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 Receivables Sale Agreements, 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.

        (a)    Name Change, Offices and Records.    Such Seller Party will not change its name, identity or structure (within
the meaning of any applicable enactment of the UCC), relocate its chief executive office at any time while the location of its chief executive office is relevant to perfection of the Agent's security
interest, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in the Receivables, Related Security and Collections, or change any office where Records are kept unless it shall have: (i) given the Agent at
least forty-five (45) days' prior written notice thereof and (ii) delivered to the Agent all financing statements, instruments and other documents requested by the Agent in

payments to another existing Collection
Account. 

        (c)    Modifications to Contracts and Credit and Collection Policy.    Unless Agent otherwise consents in accordance
with 7.1(a)(vii), such Seller Party will not, and will not permit any Originator to, make any change to the Credit and Collection Policy that could adversely affect the collectibility of the
Receivables or decrease the credit quality of any newly created Receivables. Except as provided in Section 8.2(d), the Servicer will not, and will not permit any Originator to, extend, amend or
otherwise modify the payment terms of any Receivable at any time while such Receivable is counted, in whole or in part, as an Eligible Receivable in the Net Pool Balance or any Contract related
thereto 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 of the Purchased
Assets, or assign any right to receive income with respect thereto (other than, in each case, the creation of a security interest therein in favor of the Agent as provided for herein), and Seller will
defend the right, title and interest of the Secured Parties in, to and under any of the foregoing property, against all claims of third parties claiming through or under Seller or any Originator.

Restricted Junior Payments to the extent permitted under this Agreement. 

        (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 

16

 

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

        (g)    Restricted Junior Payments.    Seller will not make any Restricted Junior Payment if after giving effect

ARTICLE VIII.    
    
    ADMINISTRATION AND COLLECTION    
  

        Section 8.1    Designation of Servicer.    

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

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

        (c)  Notwithstanding
the foregoing subsection (b): so long as ADC Telecom is acting as the Servicer (i) ADC Telecom shall be and remain primarily liable to the Agent
and Blue Ridge for the full and prompt performance of all duties and responsibilities of the Servicer hereunder and (ii) the Agent and Blue Ridge shall be entitled to deal exclusively with ADC
Telecom in matters relating to the discharge by the Servicer of its duties and responsibilities hereunder. The Agent and Blue Ridge shall not be required to give notice, demand or other communication
to any Person other than ADC Telecom in order for communication to the Servicer and its sub-servicer or other delegate with respect thereto to be accomplished. ADC Telecom, at all times
that it is the 

17

 

Servicer, shall be responsible for providing any sub-servicer or other delegate of the Servicer with any notice given to the Servicer under this Agreement. 

        Section 8.2    Duties of Servicer.    

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

        (b)  The
Servicer will instruct all Obligors to pay all Collections directly to a Lock-Box or Collection Account. The Servicer shall effect a Collection Account
Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit VI with each bank party to a Collection Account at any time. In the case of any remittances received in any Lock-Box or Collection
Account that shall have been identified, to the satisfaction of the Servicer, to not constitute Collections or other proceeds of the Receivables or the Related Security, the Servicer shall promptly
remit such items to the Person identified to it as being the owner of such remittances. If an Amortization Event has occurred and is continuing, the Agent may deliver to any Collection Bank a
Collection Notice pursuant to Section 8.3, and from such time 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 Blue Ridge their respective shares of the Collections in accordance with Article II. The Servicer shall, upon the request of the Agent, segregate, in a manner
acceptable to the Agent, all cash, checks and other instruments received by it from time to time constituting Collections from the general funds of the Servicer or 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 Blue Ridge on the first Business Day following receipt by the Servicer of such Collections, duly endorsed or
with duly executed instruments of transfer. 

        (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 Delinquent
Receivable or Defaulted Receivable or limit the rights of the Agent or Blue
Ridge under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, after the occurrence and during the continuation 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 Security. 

        (e)  The
Servicer shall hold in trust for Seller and the Agent and Blue Ridge all Records that (i) evidence or relate to the Receivables, the related Contracts and
Related Security or (ii) are otherwise necessary or desirable to collect the Receivables and shall, as soon as practicable upon demand of the Agent, after the occurrence and during the
continuation of an Amortization Event, deliver or make available to the Agent all such Records, at a place selected by the Agent. The Servicer shall, as soon as practicable following receipt thereof
turn over to Seller any cash collections or other cash proceeds received with respect to Indebtedness not constituting Receivables. The Servicer shall, from time to time at the request of the Agent or
Blue Ridge, 

18

 

furnish to Blue Ridge (promptly after any such request) a calculation of the amounts set aside for Blue Ridge pursuant to Article II. 

        (f)    Any
payment by an Obligor in respect of any indebtedness owed by it to 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. 

        Section
8.3    Collection Notices.    The Agent is authorized at any time after the occurrence and continuation of an
Amortization Event to date and to deliver to the Collection Banks the Collection Notices. Seller hereby transfers to the Agent for the benefit of Blue Ridge, effective when the Agent delivers such
notice, the exclusive ownership and control of each Lock-Box and the Collection Accounts. In case any authorized signatory of 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 (i) at any time after delivery of the Collection Notices, to endorse Seller's name on checks and other instruments representing
Collections, (ii) at any time after the occurrence of an Amortization Event, to enforce the Receivables, the related Contracts and the Related Security, and (iii) at any time after the
occurrence of an Amortization Event, to take such action as shall be necessary or desirable to cause all cash, checks and other instruments constituting Collections of Receivables to come into the
possession of the Agent rather than Seller. 

        Section
8.4    Responsibilities of Seller.    Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the exercise by the
Agent, on behalf of Blue Ridge, of the Agent's rights hereunder shall not release the Servicer, any Originator or Seller from any of their duties or obligations with respect to any Receivables or
under the related Contracts. The Agent and Blue Ridge 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 or any Originator thereunder. 

        Section
8.5    Monthly Reports.    The Servicer shall prepare and forward to the Agent (i) on each Monthly
Reporting Date, a Monthly Report and an electronic file of the data contained therein and (ii) at such times as the Agent shall request, a listing by Obligor of all Receivables together with an
aging of such Receivables;  provided, however,   that the Agent may reasonably request that the Servicer deliver a Monthly Report more frequently than monthly. 

        Section
8.6    Servicing Fee.    As compensation for the Servicer's servicing activities on their behalf, the Servicer
shall be paid the Servicing Fee in arrears on each Settlement Date out of Collections.

Source or such amounts to otherwise compensate such Funding Source for such increased cost or such reduction; provided, however, such claim for compensation is made no more than 45 days after
the occurrence of the events giving rise to such increased cost or reduction in the rate of return. 

        Section
10.3  Other Costs and Expenses  . Seller shall pay to the Agent and Blue Ridge on demand all costs and out-of-pocket expenses in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery

the books, records and procedures of Seller, reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of legal counsel for Blue Ridge and the Agent (which shall not include counsel that are
employees of Blue Ridge or the Agent) with respect thereto and with respect to advising Blue Ridge and the Agent as to their respective rights and remedies under this Agreement. Seller shall pay to
the Agent on demand any and all costs and expenses of the Agent and Blue Ridge, if any, including reasonable counsel fees and expenses in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement and the
other documents delivered hereunder and in connection with any restructuring or workout of this Agreement or such documents, or the administration of this Agreement following an Amortization Event. 

        Section
10.4  Control of Defense  . Unless an Indemnified Party reasonably determines that its business reputation is the essence of a claim for which it is seeking indemnification pursuant to this
Article X (each such claim, an  "  Excluded Claim  "  ), the Seller, when required or reasonably expected to be required, to indemnify a
party pursuant to this Article X, may in its sole discretion assume the defense,
conduct or settlement of a claim giving rise to an Indemnified Amount (an  "  Other Claim  "  ) with counsel reasonably satisfied to the
Indemnified Party. After notice from Seller to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense, conduct or settlement of
such Other Claim giving rise to an Indemnified Amount, the Seller shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in
connection with the defense, conduct or settlement of such Other Claim. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Seller in connection 

24

 

with any Other Claim resolution, making personnel and books and records (to the extent not inconsistent with any applicable privilege) relevant to the Other Claim available to the Seller, and grant
such authorizations or powers of attorney to the agents, representative and counsel of the Seller as it
may reasonably consider desirable in connection with the defense of any such Other Claim. In the event that the Seller does not wish to assume the defense, conduct or settlement of any Other Claim
giving rise to an Indemnified Amount, the Indemnified Party shall not settle any such Other Claim for an amount in excess of $50,000 without consent of the Originator, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld. The Indemnified Party shall use its best efforts consistent with sound business practice to defend and mitigate any claim giving rise to an Indemnified Amount.

agrees and consents to the complete or partial sale by Blue Ridge of all or any portion of its

sale of a participation in such rights and obligations. 

        Section

ARTICLE XIII.
  
    MISCELLANEOUS    
  

        Section 13.1    Waivers and Amendments.    

        (a)  No
failure or delay on the part of the Agent or Blue Ridge 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. 

25

  

        (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). Blue
Ridge, Seller and the Agent, at the direction of the Required Liquidity Banks, may enter 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 Blue Ridge and each affected Liquidity Bank, (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 Blue Ridge, (D) change the Invested Amount of any Receivable Interest, (E) amend, modify or waive any provision of the definition of Required Liquidity Banks

        (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 such
Agent.

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

faith believes to be acting on behalf of Seller. Seller agrees to deliver promptly to the 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

desirable, or that the Agent may reasonably request, to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the Agent's security interest in the Purchased Assets, or to enable the Agent or Blue Ridge to exercise
and enforce their rights and remedies hereunder. At any time after the occurrence and continuance of an Amortization Event, 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 Blue Ridge 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 the Agent's request, withhold the identities of the Agent and Blue Ridge in any
such notification. 

26

obligations, and the Agent's or Blue Ridge's costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by Seller as provided in Section 10.3. Each Seller Party irrevocably authorizes

interest of Blue Ridge in the Receivables and (ii) to file a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement with respect to the Receivables as a
financing statement in such offices as the Agent in its sole discretion deems necessary or desirable to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the Agent's security interest in the
Purchased Assets, for the benefit of the Secured Parties. This appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable. Each of the Seller Parties hereby authorizes the Agent to file financing
statements and other filing or recording documents with respect to the Receivables and Related Security (including any amendments thereto, or continuation or termination statements thereof), without
the signature or other authorization of such Seller Party, in such form and in such offices as the Agent reasonably determines appropriate to perfect or maintain the perfection of the security
interest of the Agent hereunder, each of the Seller Parties acknowledges and agrees that it is not authorized to, and will not, file financing statements or other filing or recording documents with
respect to the Receivables or Related Security (including any amendments thereto, or continuation or termination statements thereof), without the express prior written approval by the Agent,
consenting to the form and substance of such filing or recording document, and each of the Seller Parties approves, authorizes and ratifies any filings or recordings
made by or on behalf of the Agent in connection with the perfection of the security interests in favor of Seller or the Agent. 

        Section 13.4    Confidentiality.

transactions contemplated herein, except that such Seller Party and its officers and employees may disclose such information to such Seller Party's external accountants and attorneys and as required
by any applicable law or order of any judicial or administrative proceeding. 

        (b)  Anything
herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Seller Party hereby consents to the disclosure of any nonpublic information with respect to it (i) to the
Agent, the Liquidity Banks or Blue Ridge by each other, (ii) by the Agent or Blue Ridge to any prospective or actual assignee or participant of any of them and (iii) by the Agent in

outside accountants and attorneys of any of the foregoing,  provided that   each such Person is informed of the confidential nature of such information. In addition, Blue Ridge and the Agent may
disclose any such nonpublic information pursuant to any
law, rule, regulation, direction, request or order of any judicial, administrative or regulatory authority or proceedings (whether or not having the force or effect of law). 

        Section
13.5    Bankruptcy Petition.    Seller, the Servicer, the Agent and each Liquidity Bank hereby covenants and
agrees that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding senior indebtedness of Blue Ridge, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in
instituting against, Blue Ridge any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation

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

        Section
13.7    CHOICE OF LAW.    THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE
STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS THEREOF OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW (EXCEPT IN THE CASE OF THE OTHER TRANSACTION
DOCUMENTS, TO THE EXTENT OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY STATED THEREIN) AND EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT THE PERFECTION OF THE OWNERSHIP INTEREST OF SELLER OR THE SECURITY INTEREST OF THE AGENT, FOR THE BENEFIT OF
THE SECURED PARTIES, IN ANY OF THE COLLATERAL IS GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF A JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 

        Section
13.8    CONSENT TO JURISDICTION.    EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE
NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY UNITED STATES FEDERAL OR NEW YORK STATE COURT SITTING IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK, IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR
ANY DOCUMENT EXECUTED BY SUCH PERSON PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT, AND EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN
ANY SUCH COURT AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE AS TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT OR THAT SUCH COURT IS AN INCONVENIENT
FORUM. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT OF THE AGENT OR ANY PURCHASER TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST ANY SELLER PARTY IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING BY ANY SELLER
PARTY AGAINST THE AGENT OR ANY PURCHASER OR ANY AFFILIATE OF THE AGENT OR ANY PURCHASER INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH THIS
AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENT EXECUTED BY SUCH SELLER PARTY PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE BROUGHT ONLY IN A COURT IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK. 

        Section
13.9    WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.    EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING

SELLER PARTY PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER.

        (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. 

28

 

        (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

Article V, (ii) the
indemnification and payment provisions of Article X, and Sections 13.4 and 13.5 shall be continuing and shall survive any termination of this Agreement. 

        (c)  Each

Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents. 

        Section

counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and
the same Agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by telecopier shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of a signature page to
this Agreement. Any provisions of this Agreement which are prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or
unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in
any other jurisdiction. Unless otherwise expressly indicated, all references herein to  "Article," "Section," "Schedule"   or  "Exhibit"  
shall mean articles and sections of, and schedules and exhibits to, this Agreement. 

        Section 13.12    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 Blue Ridge with the full benefits of ownership of the applicable Receivable Interest. Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, each sale of a Receivable Interest hereunder is made
without recourse to Seller;  provided, however,   that (i) Seller shall be liable to Blue Ridge and the Agent for all representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities made by Seller
pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement, and (ii) such sale does not
constitute and is not intended to result in an assumption by Blue Ridge 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 Security, or the related Contracts, or any other obligations of Seller or any Originator. 

        (b)  In
addition to any ownership interest which the Agent or Blue Ridge may from time to time acquire pursuant hereto, Seller hereby grants to the Agent for the ratable
benefit of Blue Ridge 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 Security, all other rights and payments relating to such Receivables, and all proceeds of any thereof prior to all other liens on and
security interests therein to secure the prompt and complete payment of the Aggregate Unpaids. The Agent, on behalf of Blue Ridge, shall have, in addition to the rights and remedies that it 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.

PERFORMANCE UNDERTAKING    
  

         THIS PERFORMANCE UNDERTAKING   (this  "Undertaking"  ), dated as of December
12, 2001, is executed by ADC Telecommunications, Inc., a Minnesota corporation (the  "Performance Guarantor"  ) in favor of ADC Receivables Corp. I, a Minnesota corporation (together with its
successors and assigns,  "Recipient"  ). 

RECITALS  

        1.    From
time to time on or after the date hereof, one or more direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Performance Guarantor (each, a  "Subsidiary Originator"  ), and Recipient may enter into a
receivables sale agreement pursuant to which a Subsidiary Originator, subject to the terms and conditions contained therein, will sell its
right, title and interest in its accounts receivable and certain related security to Recipient (each, as amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, a  "Sale Agreement"  ).

        2.    Performance
Guarantor will receive substantial direct and indirect benefits from each Subsidiary Originator's sale of receivables to Recipient pursuant to a Sale
Agreement. 

        3.    As
an inducement for Recipient to acquire any Subsidiary Originator's accounts receivable pursuant to a Sale Agreement, Performance Guarantor has agreed to guaranty the
due and punctual performance by each of the Subsidiary Originators of its obligations under the Sale Agreement to which it becomes a party. 

AGREEMENT  

         NOW, THEREFORE,   Performance Guarantor hereby agrees as follows: 

        Section 1.    Definitions.    Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein shall the respective
meanings attributed to them in the Sale Agreements. In addition: 

"Guaranteed Obligations"   means, collectively, (a) all covenants, agreements, terms, conditions and indemnities to be performed and observed by any Subsidiary Originator under and pursuant to
the Sale Agreement to which it hereafter becomes a party and each other document executed and delivered by any Subsidiary Originator pursuant to such Sale Agreement, including, without limitation, the
due and punctual payment of all sums which are or may become due and owing by any Subsidiary Originator under such Sale Agreement, whether for fees, expenses (including counsel fees), indemnified
amounts or otherwise, whether upon any termination or for any other reason and (b) all obligations for the repayment of Demand Advances. 

        Section 2.    Guaranty of Performance of Guaranteed Obligations.    Performance Guarantor hereby guarantees to
Recipient, the full and punctual payment and performance by each Subsidiary Originator of its respective Guaranteed Obligations. This Undertaking is an absolute, unconditional and continuing guaranty
of the full and punctual performance of all Guaranteed Obligations of each Subsidiary Originator under the applicable Sale Agreement and each other document executed and delivered by any Subsidiary
Originator pursuant thereto and is in no way conditioned upon any requirement that Recipient first attempt to collect any amounts owing by any Subsidiary Originator to Recipient, the Agent or Blue
Ridge from any other Person or resort to any collateral security, any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of Recipient, the Agent or Blue Ridge in favor of any Subsidiary Originator
or any other Person or other means of obtaining payment. Should any Subsidiary Originator default in the payment or performance of any of its Guaranteed Obligations, Recipient (or its assigns) may
cause the immediate performance by Performance Guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations and cause any payment Guaranteed Obligations to become forthwith due and payable to Recipient (or its assigns),
without demand or notice of any nature (other than as expressly provided herein), all of which are hereby expressly waived by Performance Guarantor. Notwithstanding the 

foregoing, this Undertaking is not a guarantee of the collection of any of the Receivables and Performance Guarantor shall not be responsible for any Guaranteed Obligations to the extent the
failure to perform such Guaranteed Obligations by any Subsidiary Originator results from Receivables being uncollectible on account of the insolvency, bankruptcy or lack of creditworthiness of the
related Obligor;  provided that   nothing herein shall relieve any Subsidiary Originator from performing in full its Guaranteed Obligations under the applicable Sale Agreement or Performance
Guarantor of its
undertaking hereunder with respect to the full performance of such duties. 

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

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

Obligations or any part thereof; or (i) any failure on the part of any Subsidiary Originator to perform or comply with any term of its Sale Agreement or any other document executed in
connection therewith or delivered thereunder, all whether or not Performance Guarantor shall have had notice or knowledge of any act or omission referred to in the foregoing clauses (a) through
(i) of this Section 4. 

        Section 5.    Unenforceability of Guaranteed Obligations Against Subsidiary Originators.    Notwithstanding
(a) any change of ownership of any Subsidiary Originator or the insolvency, bankruptcy or any other change in the legal status of any Subsidiary Originator; (b) the change in or the
imposition of any law, decree, regulation or other governmental act which does or might impair, delay or in any way affect the validity, enforceability or the payment when due of the Guaranteed
Obligations; (c) the failure of any Subsidiary Originator or Performance Guarantor to maintain in full force, validity or effect or to obtain or renew when required all governmental and other
approvals, licenses or consents required in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations or this Undertaking, or to take any other action required in connection with the performance of all obligations
pursuant to the Guaranteed Obligations or this Undertaking; or (d) if any of the moneys included in the Guaranteed Obligations have become irrecoverable from any Subsidiary Originator for any
other reason other than final payment in full of the payment obligations in accordance with their terms, this Undertaking shall nevertheless be binding on Performance Guarantor. This Undertaking shall
be in addition to any other guaranty or other security for the Guaranteed Obligations, and it shall not be rendered unenforceable by the invalidity of any such other guaranty or security. In the event
that acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Subsidiary Originator or for any other reason with
respect to any Subsidiary Originator, all such amounts then due and owing with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations under the terms of any Sale Agreement, or any other agreement evidencing, securing
or otherwise executed in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations, shall be immediately due and payable by Performance Guarantor. 

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

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

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

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

hereunder) except, in any case, where such contravention or violation could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

        Section 7.    Subrogation; Subordination.    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, until
the Guaranteed Obligations are paid in full Performance Guarantor: (a) will not enforce or otherwise exercise any right of subrogation to any of the rights of Recipient, the Agent or Blue Ridge
against any Subsidiary Originator, (b) hereby waives all rights of subrogation (whether contractual, under Section 509 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, at law or in equity or
otherwise) to the claims of Recipient, the Agent and Blue Ridge against any Subsidiary Originator and all contractual, statutory or legal or equitable rights of contribution, reimbursement,
indemnification and similar rights and "claims" (as that term is defined in the United States Bankruptcy Code) which Performance Guarantor might now have or hereafter acquire against any Subsidiary
Originator that arise from the existence or performance of Performance Guarantor's obligations hereunder, (c) will not claim any setoff, recoupment or counterclaim against any Subsidiary
Originator in respect of any liability of Performance Guarantor to such Subsidiary Originator and (d) waives any benefit of and any right to participate in any collateral security which may be
held by the Recipient, the Agent, Blue Ridge or any Liquidity Bank. The payment of any amounts due with respect to any indebtedness of any Subsidiary Originator now or hereafter owed to Performance
Guarantor is hereby subordinated to the prior payment in full of all of the Guaranteed Obligations. Performance Guarantor agrees that, after the occurrence of any default in the payment or performance
of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, Performance Guarantor will not demand, sue for or otherwise attempt to collect any such indebtedness of any Subsidiary Originator to Performance Guarantor until
all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid and performed in full. If, notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, Performance Guarantor shall collect, enforce or receive any amounts in respect
of such indebtedness while any obligations are still unperformed or outstanding, such amounts shall be collected, enforced and received by Performance Guarantor as trustee for
Recipient (and its assigns) and be paid over to Recipient (or its assigns) on account of the Guaranteed Obligations without affecting in any manner the liability of Performance Guarantor under the
other provisions of this Undertaking. The provisions of this Section 7 shall be supplemental to and not in derogation of any rights and remedies of Recipient under any separate subordination
agreement which Recipient may at any time and from time to time enter into with Performance Guarantor. 

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

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

        Section 10.    Setoff.    Regardless of the other means of obtaining payment of any of the Guaranteed
Obligations, Recipient (and its assigns) is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, without notice to Performance Guarantor (any such notice being expressly waived by Performance 

Guarantor) and to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any deposits and other sums against the obligations of Performance Guarantor under this Undertaking, whether or not
Recipient (or any such assign) shall have made any demand under this Undertaking and although such obligations may be contingent or unmatured. 

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

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

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

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

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

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

        Section 17.    CONSENT TO JURISDICTION.    EACH OF PROVIDER AND RECIPIENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE
NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY UNITED STATES FEDERAL OR NEW YORK STATE COURT SITTING IN THE BOROUGH OF
MANHATTAN IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS UNDERTAKING, THE SALE AGREEMENTS OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT EXECUTED IN CONNECTION THEREWITH OR DELIVERED THEREUNDER AND EACH OF THE 

PERFORMANCE GUARANTOR AND RECIPIENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN ANY SUCH COURT AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY
OBJECTION IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE AS TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT OR THAT SUCH COURT IS AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. 

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

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

        
IN WITNESS WHEREOF,   Performance Guarantor has caused this Undertaking to be executed and delivered as of the date first above written.
