RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT

This RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT, dated as of March 15, 2006, is by and between ▇▇▇▇ RECEIVABLES II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Transferor”), and ▇▇▇▇ FUNDING II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Buyer”). Unless defined elsewhere herein, capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in Exhibit I.

PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS

Transferor now owns, and from time to time hereafter will own, Receivables (each a “Transferred Receivable”). Transferor wishes to sell and assign to Buyer, and Buyer wishes to purchase from Transferor, all of Transferor’s right, title and interest in and to all of Transferor’s Receivables, together with the Related Security and Collections with respect thereto.

Transferor and Buyer intend the transactions contemplated hereby to be true sales of the Transferred Receivables from Transferor to Buyer, providing Buyer with the full benefits of ownership of the Transferred Receivables, and Transferor and Buyer do not intend these transactions to be, or for any purpose to be characterized as, loans from Buyer to Transferor.

Following the purchase of Transferred Receivables from Transferor, Buyer will sell undivided interests therein and in the associated Related Security and Collections pursuant to that certain Receivables Purchase Agreement dated as of the date hereof (as the same may from time to time hereafter be amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified, the “Purchase Agreement”) among Buyer, ▇▇▇▇ Company, as Servicer (in such capacity, the “Servicer”), Park Avenue Receivables Company, LLC (“Company”), the financial institutions from time to time party thereto (together with Company, the “Purchasers”) and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMorgan Chase”) or any successor agent appointed pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, as agent for the Purchasers (in such capacity, the “Agent”).

ARTICLE I
AMOUNTS AND TERMS

SECTION 1.01. Purchase of Transferred Receivables.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Transferor agrees to sell, assign, transfer, set-over, contribute and otherwise convey to Buyer, without recourse (except to the extent expressly provided herein), and Buyer agrees to purchase or acquire from Transferor, all of Transferor’s right, title and interest in and to all Transferred Receivables existing as of the close of business on the Business Day immediately prior to the Initial Funding Date and all Transferred Receivables thereafter acquired by it until the Termination Date, together, in each case, with all Related Security relating thereto and all Collections thereon.

(b) Effective on the Initial Funding Date, in consideration for the Purchase Price and upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, Transferor does hereby sell, assign, transfer, set-over and otherwise convey to Buyer, without recourse (except to the extent expressly provided herein), and Buyer does hereby purchase from Transferor, all of Transferor’s right, title and interest in and to (i) the Receivables set forth on the Schedule of Receivables (other than the Existing Receivables, as to which Transferor has no, and claims no interest), existing as of the close of business on the Business Day immediately prior to the Initial Funding Date and (ii) the Receivables that shall be, from time to time, until the Termination Date, be added to or listed on the Schedule of Receivables, which are intended to be all Transferred Receivables thereafter acquired by it through until the Termination Date, together, in each case, with all Related Security relating thereto and all Collections thereon. In accordance with the preceding sentence, on the Initial Funding Date Buyer shall acquire all of Transferor’s right, title and interest in and to all Transferred Receivables existing as of the close of business on the Business Day immediately prior to the Initial Funding Date and thereafter arising through and including the Termination Date, together with all Related Security relating thereto and all Collections thereon; provided, that, Buyer shall be obligated to pay the Purchase Price therefor in accordance with Section 1.02. In connection with the payment of the Purchase Price for any Transferred Receivables purchased hereunder, Buyer may request that Transferor deliver, and Transferor shall deliver, such approvals, opinions, information, reports or documents as Buyer may reasonably request.

(c) It is the intention of the parties hereto that the Purchases of Transferred Receivables made hereunder shall constitute sales of “accounts”, “payment intangibles” or “chattel paper” (as each such term is defined in Article 9 of the UCC), which sales are absolute and irrevocable and provide Buyer with the full benefits of ownership of the Transferred Receivables. Except for the Purchase Price Credits owed pursuant to Section 1.03, the sales of Transferred Receivables hereunder are made without recourse to Transferor; provided, however, that (i) Transferor shall be liable to Buyer for all representations, warranties and covenants made by Transferor pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Documents to which Transferor is a party, and (ii) such sales do not constitute and are not intended to result in an assumption by Buyer or any assignee thereof of any obligation of Transferor or any other Person arising in connection with the Transferred Receivables, the related Contracts and/or other Related Security or any other obligations of Transferor. In view of the intention of the parties hereto that the Purchase of Transferred Receivables made hereunder shall constitute sales of such Transferred Receivables rather than loans secured thereby, Transferor agrees that it will, on or prior to the Initial Funding Date and in accordance with Section 4.01(e)(ii), ▇▇▇▇ its master data processing records, file cabinets and file folders relating to the Transferred Receivables with a legend acceptable to Buyer and to the Agent (as Buyer’s assignee), evidencing that Buyer has purchased such Transferred Receivables as provided in this Agreement and to note in its financial statements that the Transferred Receivables have been sold to Buyer. Upon the request of Buyer or the Agent (as Buyer’s assignee), Transferor will file such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto or assignments thereof, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or appropriate to perfect and maintain the perfection of Buyer’s ownership interest in the Transferred Receivables and the Related Security and Collections with respect thereto, or as Buyer or the Agent (as Buyer’s assignee) may reasonably request.

SECTION 1.02. Payment for the Purchase.

(a) The Purchase Price for the Purchase of Transferred Receivables in existence on the close of business on the Business Day immediate preceding the Initial Funding Date shall be payable in full by Buyer to Transferor on the Initial Funding Date, and shall be paid to Transferor in the following manner:

(i) by delivery of immediately available funds, in an amount confirmed by the parties hereto on the Initial Funding Date; provided, that a portion of such funds shall be offset by amounts owed by Transferor to Buyer or Transferor shall contribute Transferred Receivables on account of the issuance of equity in the manner contemplated in the operating agreement of the Buyer and having a total value of not less than the Required Capital Amount,

(ii) the balance, by delivery of the proceeds of a subordinated revolving loan from Transferor to Buyer (a “Subordinated Loan”) in an amount not to exceed the least of (i) the remaining unpaid portion of such Purchase Price, (ii) the maximum Subordinated Loan that could be borrowed without rendering Buyer’s Net Worth less than the Required Capital Amount and (iii) the maximum Subordinated Loan that could be borrowed without rendering the Net Value less than the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Subordinated Loan hereunder (including the Subordinated Loan proposed to be made on such date). The Transferor is hereby authorized by Buyer to endorse on the schedule attached to the Subordinated Note an appropriate notation evidencing the date and amount of each advance thereunder, as well as the date of each payment with respect thereto, provided that the failure to make such notation shall not affect any obligation of Buyer thereunder.

Each Transferred Receivable coming into existence after the Initial Funding Date shall be sold to Buyer on the first Settlement Date following the date that such Transferred Receivable came into existence and the Purchase Price for such Transferred Receivable shall be due and owing in full by Buyer to Transferor or its designee on the Settlement Date that such Transferred Receivable is transferred to the Buyer (except that Buyer may, with respect to any such Purchase Price, offset against such Purchase Price any amounts owed by Transferor to Buyer hereunder and which have become due but remain unpaid) and shall be paid to Transferor in the manner provided in the following paragraphs (b) and (c). The conveyance of such Transferred Receivables shall occur and take effect automatically upon the listing of each such item in the Schedule of Receivables, without further action by any Person.

(b) With respect to any Transferred Receivables coming into existence after the Initial Funding Date, of each Settlement Date, Buyer shall pay the Purchase Price therefor in the following manner:

first, by delivery of immediately available funds, to the extent of funds available to Buyer from its subsequent sale of interests in the Transferred Receivables under the Purchase Agreement or other cash on hand;

second, by delivery of the proceeds of a Subordinated Loan, provided that the making of any such Subordinated Loan shall be subject to the provisions set forth in Section 1.02(a)(ii); and

third, unless Transferor has declared the Termination Date to have occurred pursuant to Section 5.02(b), at the election of the Transferor (which may be a standing election), by accepting a contribution to its capital pursuant to its operating agreement in an amount equal to the remaining unpaid balance of such Purchase Price.

Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 1.02(a)(ii), Transferor irrevocably agrees to advance each Subordinated Loan requested by Buyer on or prior to the Termination Date. The Subordinated Loans shall be evidenced by, and shall be payable in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Subordinated Note.

(c) From and after the Termination Date, Transferor shall not be obligated to (but may, at its option) (i) sell Transferred Receivables to Buyer unless Transferor reasonably determines that the Purchase Price therefor will not be satisfied with funds available to Buyer from sales of interests in the Receivables pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Collections, proceeds of Subordinated Loans or otherwise or (ii) contribute Transferred Receivables to Buyer’s capital.

SECTION 1.03. Purchase Price Credit Adjustments. If on any day:

(a) the Outstanding Balance of a Transferred Receivable is:

(i) reduced as a result of any defective or rejected goods or services, any discount or any adjustment or otherwise by Originator, Transferor or, in the case of any Transferred Receivable acquired by Originator from a Dealer, by the applicable Dealer (other than cash Collections on account of the Transferred Receivables), or

(ii) reduced or canceled as a result of a setoff in respect of any claim by any Person (whether such claim arises out of the same or a related transaction or an unrelated transaction), or

(b) any of the representations and warranties set forth in Article II are no longer true with respect to any Transferred Receivable,

then, in such event, Buyer shall be entitled to a credit (each, a “Purchase Price Credit”) against the aggregate Purchase Price otherwise payable hereunder for new Transferred Receivables in an amount equal to the amount of such reduction or cancellation in the case of clause (a) or the Outstanding Balance of such Transferred Receivable in the case of clause (b). If such Purchase Price Credit exceeds the Original Balance of the Transferred Receivables coming into existence on any day, then Transferor shall pay the remaining amount of such Purchase Price Credit in cash within 5 Business Days thereafter, provided that if the Termination Date has not occurred, Transferor shall be allowed to deduct the remaining amount of such Purchase Price Credit from any indebtedness owed to it under the Subordinated Note. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in connection with the representations and warranties relating to good title, absence of Adverse Claims, or effectiveness of transfer of any Receivable transferred hereunder, Transferor shall be deemed to have breached such representations and warranties so that a Purchase Price Credit shall be payable by the Transferor in the amount of the Outstanding Balance of any Transferred Receivable if (i) a Dealer shall have originated such Transferred Receivable, (ii) such Dealer shall have suffered an Insolvency Event at any time following the date such Transferred Receivable was transferred hereunder and (iii) an action is brought in the Dealer’s bankruptcy case seeking to claim an affected Transferred Receivable or proceeds thereof as property of the estate, exercise any avoiding power of the bankruptcy trustee, challenge good title to or ownership of such Transferred Receivable or proceeds, assert any Adverse Claim on such Transferred Receivable or proceeds or otherwise challenge the effectiveness or validity of such Dealer’s transfer of any Transferred Receivable and either (A) no ▇▇▇▇ Entity answers such action on a timely basis, (B) no ▇▇▇▇ Entity seeks the dismissal with prejudice of such action on a timely basis or submits a motion for summary judgment of such action on a timely basis or (C) such action survives a motion to dismiss or motion for summary judgment.

SECTION 1.04. Payments and Computations, Etc. All amounts to be paid or deposited by Buyer hereunder shall be paid or deposited in accordance with the terms hereof on the day when due in immediately available funds to the account of Transferor designated from time to time by Transferor or as otherwise directed by Transferor. If any payment owed by any Person hereunder becomes due on a day that is not a Business Day, then such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day. If any Person fails to pay any amount hereunder when due, interest shall accrue on such unpaid amount at the rate per annum specified in clause (ii) of the definition of “Default Fee” until such amount is paid in full and, such Person agrees to pay such interest on demand; provided, however, that such rate shall not at any time exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. All computations of interest payable hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first but excluding the last day) elapsed.

SECTION 1.05. Transfer of Records.

(a) In connection with the Purchases of Transferred Receivables hereunder, Transferor hereby sells, transfers, assigns and otherwise conveys to Buyer all of Transferor’s right and title to and interest in the Records relating to all Transferred Receivables sold hereunder, without the need for any further documentation in connection with the Purchases. In connection with such transfer, Transferor hereby grants to each of Buyer, the Agent and the Servicer an irrevocable, non-exclusive license to use, without royalty or payment of any kind, all software used by Transferor to account for the Transferred Receivables, to the extent necessary to administer the Transferred Receivables, whether such software is owned by Transferor or is owned by others and used by Transferor under license agreements with respect thereto, provided that should the consent of any licensor of Transferor to such grant of the license described herein be required, Transferor hereby agrees that upon the request of Buyer (or the Agent as Buyer’s assignee), Transferor will use its reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of such third-party licensor. The license granted hereby shall be irrevocable, and shall terminate on the date this Agreement terminates in accordance with its terms.

(b) Transferor (i) shall take such action requested by Buyer and/or the Agent (as Buyer’s assignee), from time to time hereafter, that may be necessary or appropriate to ensure that Buyer and Buyer’s assigns under the Purchase Agreement have an enforceable ownership interest in the Records relating to the Transferred Receivables purchased from Transferor hereunder, and (ii) shall use its reasonable efforts to ensure that Buyer, the Agent and the Servicer each has an enforceable right (whether by license or sublicense or otherwise) to use all of the computer software used to account for the Transferred Receivables and/or to recreate such Records.

SECTION 1.06. Characterization.

(a) If, notwithstanding the intention of the parties expressed in Section 1.01(c), any sale or contribution by Transferor to Buyer of Transferred Receivables hereunder shall be characterized as a secured loan and not a sale or such sale shall for any reason be ineffective or unenforceable (any of the foregoing being a “Recharacterization”), then this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a security agreement under the UCC and other applicable law. For this purpose and without being in derogation of the parties’ intention that the sale of Transferred Receivables hereunder shall constitute a true sale thereof, Transferor hereby grants to Buyer a valid and perfected security interest in all of Transferor’s right, title and interest in, to and under all Transferred Receivables now existing and hereafter arising, all Collections, all Related Security and Records with respect thereto, all other rights and payments relating to the Transferred Receivables and all proceeds of the foregoing, and all other assets in which Buyer has acquired, may hereafter acquire and/or purports pursuant to the terms and provisions of this Agreement to have acquired an interest under this Agreement to secure all payment and performance obligations of Transferor hereunder (including (a) the obligation to remit all Collections with respect to the Transferred Receivables to the Buyer and (b) the obligation to transfer Receivables to the Buyer with a value at least equal to the Transferred Receivables, Collections thereon and the Related Security with respect thereto) which security interest shall be prior to all other Adverse Claims thereto. After the occurrence of a Termination Event, Buyer and its assigns shall have, in addition to the rights and remedies which they may have under this Agreement, all other rights and remedies provided to a secured creditor after default under the UCC and other applicable law, which rights and remedies shall be cumulative. In the case of any Recharacterization, each of the Transferor and the Buyer represents and warrants as to itself that each remittance of Collections and other property by the Transferor to the Buyer hereunder will have been (i) in payment of a debt incurred by the Transferor in the ordinary course of business or financial affairs of the Transferor and the Buyer and (ii) made in the ordinary course of business or financial affairs of the Transferor and the Buyer.

(b) Transferor hereby authorizes Buyer (and any of its assigns), within the meaning of Section 9-509 of any applicable enactment of the UCC, as secured party, to file, without the signature of the debtor, the UCC financing statements contemplated hereby.

(c) Transferor acknowledges (i) that Buyer, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, shall assign to the Agent, for the benefit of the Agent, the Purchasers and the Hedge Providers under the Purchase Agreement, such rights, remedies, powers and privileges and (ii) that the Agent may further assign such rights, remedies, powers and privileges to the extent permitted in the Purchase Agreement. Transferor agrees that the Agent, as the assignee of the Buyer, shall, subject to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, have the right to enforce this Agreement and to exercise directly all of Buyer’s rights and remedies under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the right to give or withhold any consents or approvals of Buyer to be given or withheld hereunder, and, in any case, without regard to whether specific reference is made to Buyer’s assigns in the provisions of this Agreement which set forth such rights and remedies) and Transferor agrees to cooperate fully with the Agent and the Purchasers in the exercise of such rights and remedies. Transferor further agrees to give to the Agent copies of all notices it is required to give to Buyer hereunder.

All information heretofore furnished by Transferor or any of its Affiliates to Buyer (or its assigns) 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 Transferor or any of its Affiliates to Buyer (or its assigns) 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 the Purchase hereunder will be used (i) for a purpose that violates, or would be inconsistent with, Regulation T, U or X promulgated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System from time to time or (ii) to acquire any security in any transaction which is subject to Section 13 or 14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

(i) Good Title. Immediately prior to the time each Transferred Receivable is sold hereunder, Transferor shall be the legal and beneficial owner of each such Transferred Receivable and Related Security with respect thereto, free and clear of any Adverse Claim, except as created by the Transaction Documents.

(j) Perfection. This Agreement, together with the filing of the financing statements contemplated hereby, is effective to, and shall, upon each Purchase hereunder, transfer to Buyer (and Buyer shall acquire from Transferor) legal and equitable title to, with the right to sell and encumber each Transferred Receivable existing and hereafter arising, together with the Related Security and Collections with respect thereto, 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 Buyer’s ownership interest in the Transferred Receivables, the Related Security and the Collections.

(k) Places of Business. The principal places of business and chief executive office of Transferor and the offices where it keeps all of its Records are located at the address listed on Exhibit II or such other locations of which Buyer has been notified in accordance with Section 4.02(a) in jurisdictions where all action required by Section 4.02(a) has been taken and completed. Transferor’s Federal Employer Identification Number is correctly set forth on Exhibit II.

(l) Collections. The requirements set forth in Section 4.01(j) have at all times been satisfied and duly performed. The name and address of the Lockbox Account Bank, together with the account number of the Lockbox Account at the Lockbox Account Bank and the post office box number of the Lockbox, are listed on Exhibit III. Transferor has instructed all Obligors of Transferred Receivables to pay all Collections with respect thereto directly to the Lockbox, the Lockbox Account or the Collection Account. Transferor has not granted any Person, other than the Collateral Agent (in the case of the Lockbox, the Lockbox Account) as contemplated by the Intercreditor Agreement, control (within the meaning of Section 9-104 of the applicable UCC) of the Lockbox, the Lockbox Account or the Collection Account, or the right to take control (within the meaning of Section 9-104 of the applicable UCC) of the Lockbox, the Lockbox Account or the Collection Account at a future time or upon the occurrence of a future event. The Intercreditor Agreement remains in full force and effect.

(m) Material Adverse Effect. Since the date of its formation, no event has occurred that would have a material adverse effect on (i) the financial condition or operations of Transferor or the Transferor and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole or (ii) the ability of Transferor to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents. Since February 2, 2006, no event has occurred that would have a material adverse effect on the collectibility of the Transferred Receivables generally or any material portion of the Transferred Receivables.

(n) Names. In the past five (5) years, Transferor has not used any legal names, trade names or assumed names other than the name in which it has executed this Agreement and has not been organized in any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

(o) Ownership of Buyer. Transferor owns, directly or indirectly, 100% of the issued and outstanding membership interests of Buyer, 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 Buyer.

(p) Not an Investment Company. Transferor 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. Transferor has complied in all respects with all applicable laws, rules, regulations, orders, writs, judgments, injunctions, decrees or awards to which it may be subject. Each Transferred Receivable transferred to Buyer hereunder, 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.

(r) Compliance with Credit and Collection Policy. Transferor has complied in all material respects with the Credit and Collection Policy with regard to each Transferred Receivable and the related Contract, and has not made any material change to such Credit and Collection Policy.

(s) Payments to Transferor. With respect to each Transferred Receivable transferred to Buyer hereunder, the Purchase Price received by Transferor constitutes reasonably equivalent value in consideration therefor and such transfer was not made for or on account of an antecedent debt. No transfer by Transferor of any Transferred Receivable hereunder 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 Transferred Receivable transferred to Buyer hereunder is effective to create, and has created, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the related Obligor to pay the Outstanding Balance of the Transferred Receivable created thereunder and any accrued interest thereon, enforceable against the Obligor in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).

(u) Qualified Receivables. Each Receivable transferred to the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement was an “Qualified Receivable” (as such term is defined in the Receivables Sale Agreement) on the date of such transfer.

(v) Accounting. The manner in which Transferor accounts for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement does not jeopardize the legal true sale analysis.

(w) Compliance with Representations. On and as of the date of each Purchase hereunder, Transferor hereby represents and warrants that all of the other representations and warranties set forth in this Article II are true and correct on and as of each such date (and after giving effect to all Transferred Receivables in existence on each such date) as though made on and as of each such date.

(x) Receivable File. Transferor has delivered to the Servicer the Receivable File for each Transferred Receivable transferred pursuant hereto.

(y) No Breach. The execution and delivery by Transferor of this Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which it is a party, and the performance of its obligations hereunder and thereunder do not contravene or violate the terms of the Credit Agreement (including, without limitation, the terms of Section 8.7 thereof). The transactions contemplated by this Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents constitute a “Qualified Securitization Transaction.”
