THE PURCHASE; INCREASES
SECTION 2.01. The Purchase. (a) CRC may, in its sole
discretion, make the Purchase. CRC's election to make the Purchase is subject to
the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.01.
(b) If CRC shall elect not to make the Purchase on the
Purchase Date, the Liquidity Providers shall, subject to the satisfaction of the

become "the Purchaser" in all respects hereunder. Each Liquidity Provider shall
make the Purchase in an amount equal to its Liquidity Provider Commitment
Percentage of the Purchase Price.
(c) Under no circumstances shall CRC or the Liquidity
Providers make the Purchase if, as a result thereof, the Class A Invested Amount
would exceed the Class A Purchase Limit or, in the case of a Liquidity Provider,
such Liquidity Provider's Liquidity Provider Commitment.
SECTION 2.02. Increases. (a) CRC may, in its sole discretion,
from time to time during the period from the date of this Agreement to the last
day of the Revolving Period, upon the request of the Seller and subject to the
satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.01, fund
Increases, and, upon so funding an Increase, shall acquire Class A Certificate

(b) If CRC elects not to fund a requested Increase, each

satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.01, fund such
Increase in an amount equal to its Liquidity Provider Commitment Percentage of

Liquidity Providers shall be at the Assignee Rate and shall be made on a pro
rata basis in accordance with the Liquidity Provider Commitments.
(c) Under no circumstances shall CRC or any Liquidity Provider
fund any Increase to the extent that, after giving effect to such Increase and
the other Increases to be funded by the other Liquidity Providers concurrently
therewith, (i) the Class A Invested Amount would exceed the Class A Purchase
Limit or (ii) with respect to any Liquidity Provider, the funding of such
Increase would exceed its Liquidity Provider Commitment.
SECTION 2.03. Class A Certificates. On the Purchase Date, on
each date an Increase in the Class A Invested Amount is funded hereunder and on
each date the Class A Invested Amount is reduced, a duly authorized officer or
employee of the Program Agent
5
9
shall make appropriate notations in its books and records of the Purchase Price,
the amount of such Increase and the amount of such reduction, as applicable.
Each of the Servicer, the Seller and the Trustee hereby authorizes each duly
authorized officer and employee of the Program Agent to make such notations on
the books and records as aforesaid and every such notation made in accordance
with the foregoing authority shall be prima facie evidence of the accuracy of
the information so recorded and shall be binding on the Seller and the Trustee
absent manifest error. All Increases in the Class A Invested Amount shall be
subject to reduction in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the
Series 1995-1 Supplement.
SECTION 2.04. Reductions to the Class A Purchase Limit. The
Seller may, from time to time, upon at least 10 Business Days' prior written
notice to the Program Agent, elect to reduce the Class A Purchase Limit by an
amount up to the difference between the Class A Purchase Limit at such time and
the Class A Invested Amount at such time. Any such reduction shall be permanent
and shall reduce the Liquidity Provider Commitments of the Liquidity Providers
hereunder ratably in accordance with the Liquidity Provider Commitment
Percentages.
SECTION 2.05. Procedures for Making the Purchase and
Increases.
(a) Notice of the Purchase and Increases. The Purchase and
each Increase shall occur on a Business Day and shall be made or funded on
notice from the Seller (substantially in the form of Exhibit B, in the case of
the Purchase, or Exhibit C, in the case of an Increase) to the Program Agent
received by the Program Agent not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on,
in the case of the Purchase, the fifth Business Day immediately preceding the
Purchase Date or, in the case of an Increase, on the Business Day immediately
preceding the date of such increase (with a copy provided to the Trustee);
provided that if the Class A Certificate Rate for the initial Collection Period
for the resulting Increase is to be calculated at a rate based on the Adjusted
Eurodollar Rate, then such notice must be received not later than 12:00 noon
(New York City time) on the third Business Day next preceding the date of such
Increase. Each notice shall specify the Purchase Price or the amount of the
Increase (in each case, not to be less than $5,000,000) and the Purchase Date or
date of the Increase. The Program Agent shall promptly notify the Seller and
each Liquidity Provider if CRC elects in its discretion not to make the Purchase
or fund an Increase.
(b) Delivery of the Class A Certificates. On the Purchase
Date, the Seller will deliver to the Program Agent, on behalf of the Purchaser,
the Class A Certificates, dated the Purchase Date, registered in the name of the
Purchaser and duly authenticated in accordance with the provisions of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement against delivery by the Program Agent, on behalf
of the Purchaser, to the Seller of the Purchase Price.
6
10
(c) Funding of the Purchase and Increases. On the Purchase
Date and any date on which the an Increase is funded, CRC or the Liquidity
Providers, as applicable, shall, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions
set forth in Article IV, deposit to the Program Agent's account, which shall be
identified as "Dell Master Trust CRC Remittance Account No. 4067-5766",
established at Citibank, N.A., the Purchase Price or amount of the Increase (in
the case of CRC) or its Liquidity Provider Commitment Percentage of the Increase
(in the case of each Liquidity Provider) in same day funds, and after receipt by
the Program Agent of such funds, the Program Agent will deposit the same into
the Seller's account, which shall be identified as "Dell Receivables L.P.
Account No. 4068-5227", established at Citibank, N.A., the Program Agent to use
its best efforts to make such deposit by not later than 12:00 noon (New York
City time).
SECTION 2.06. Assignments by CRC to Liquidity Providers. (a)
On any date during the Term (including, without limitation, any date on which
CRC has elected in its discretion not to fund an Increase hereunder pursuant to
Section 2.02), CRC may, in its own discretion, upon written notice given to the
Program Agent and the Seller, assign to the Liquidity Providers (in accordance
with their respective Liquidity Provider Commitment Percentages) and the
Liquidity Providers shall purchase all of the right and title to and interest in
all Class A Certificate Interests which are then owned by CRC. Such assignment
of Class A Certificate Interests shall be made upon receipt of consideration (in
cash) from the Liquidity Providers equal to the lesser of:
(i) the aggregate amount of outstanding Class A Invested
Amount plus accrued but unpaid interest thereon, and
(ii) FAP x (OB-Writeoffs)
--------------------
LDRA
Where:
FAP = the Class A Certificates' pro rata portion of the
Series 1995-1 Floating Allocation Percentage
OB = the Outstanding Balance of the Receivables
Writeoffs = the Outstanding Balance of any Receivables which
have been or should have been written off,
determined by the Program Agent (which
determination shall be conclusive absent manifest
error) in accordance with CRC's practices and
policies, which practices and policies are in
accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles
7
11
LDRA = a loss and dilution reserve adjustment, computed by
adding to the number 1 an amount (expressed as a
fraction) equal to 50% of the Class A Specified
Loss and Dilution Reserve Percentage;
provided that no Liquidity Provider shall be required to purchase any Class A
Certificate Interest to the extent that, after giving effect thereto, its
Liquidity Provider Commitment Percentage of the then outstanding Class A
Invested Amount would exceed its Liquidity Provider Commitment. For purposes of
the foregoing computations, Outstanding Balance shall be calculated on the date,
and Writeoffs shall be computed since the date, the Series 1995-1 Floating
Allocation Percentage was last computed or deemed computed.
(b) Upon the assignment described in subsection (a) above, (i)
all Class A Certificate Interests previously owned by CRC and so assigned shall
become Class A Certificate Interests owned by the Liquidity Providers, (ii) the
Program Agent will present the Class A Certificates to the Trustee for transfer
to the Liquidity Providers and the Trustee shall register new Class A
Certificates in the name of the Liquidity Providers and the Program Agent shall
make appropriate notations in its books and records of such assignment and (iii)
the Program Agent shall, to the extent provided under the Series 1995-1
Supplement, pay to CRC on the date of such assignment if such assignment occurs
on a Distribution Date, or on the next succeeding Distribution Date, out of
Collections available for such payments as provided in the Series 1995-1
Supplement, (A) to the extent CRC received the amount described in clause (ii)
of Section 2.06(a) above, all accrued and unpaid interest with respect to the
Class A Invested Amount related to the Class A Certificate Interests so assigned
and (B) any Breakage Costs.
(c) The assignment of Class A Certificate Interests and the
Class A Certificates from CRC to the Liquidity Providers pursuant to this
Section 2.06 shall be without recourse or warranty, express or implied, except
that such Class A Certificate Interests and the Class A Certificates are free
and clear of adverse claims created by or arising as a result of claims against
the Program Agent or CRC. Nothing in this Section 2.06 shall be deemed to limit
any rights of CRC under any other provisions of this Agreement to assign its
right, title to and interest in and to any portion of the Class A Certificate
Interests or the Class A Certificates owned by it.
SECTION 2.07. Term. (a) The Initial Term of each Liquidity Provider
Commitment hereunder shall be for a period commencing on the date such Liquidity
Provider enters into this Agreement and ending on the date that is three years
after the date of this Agreement. Prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or
any Extension Term, the Program Agent may request an extension of such Term
(such extended period being an "Extension Term") and each Liquidity Provider
may, in its sole and absolute discretion, extend
8
12
its Liquidity Provider Commitment by delivering to the Program Agent a written
notice of such Liquidity Provider's commitment to extend, provided, however,
that any such extension shall be ineffective if an Early Amortization Event has
occurred and is continuing at the time of the proposed commencement of such
Extension Term. Failure of a Liquidity Provider to deliver a notice of such
Liquidity Provider's intent to grant an Extension Term shall be deemed to be an
election by such Liquidity Provider not to grant an Extension Term. If less than
all of the Liquidity Providers have elected to grant an Extension Term and the
Program Agent has been unable to replace any Liquidity Provider which has
declined to grant an Extension Term, such request for an Extension Term shall be
withdrawn and the Program Agent will so notify the Liquidity Providers prior to
the day on which the Term expires.

ARTICLE III
FEES AND INTEREST PROTECTION
SECTION 3.01. Fees. The Seller shall pay to the Program Agent
such fee for its own account and for the account of CRC and the Liquidity
Providers in such amounts and at such times as set forth in the Fee Letter.
SECTION 3.02. Increased Costs. (a) If CRC or any Liquidity
Provider (each, an "Affected Person") determines that compliance with any law or
regulation or any guideline or request from any central bank or other
governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law) affects or would
affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such
Affected Person and such Affected Person determines that the amount of such
capital is increased by or based upon the existence of any commitment to make
the Purchase or fund Increases or otherwise to maintain its investment in the
Class A Certificates or Class A Certificate Interests, then, upon demand by such
Affected Person (with a copy to the Program Agent and the Seller), the Seller
shall immediately pay to the Program Agent, for the account of such Affected
Person (as a third party beneficiary), additional amounts sufficient to
compensate such Affected Person, in light of the circumstances, for such
increase in capital. A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Seller
and the Program Agent by such Affected Person shall be conclusive and binding
for all purposes, absent manifest error.
(b) If, due to either (i) the introduction or any change
(other than any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements
referred to in the definition of Eurodollar Reserve Percentage) in or in the
interpretation of any law or regulation or (ii) compliance with any guideline or
request from any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not
having the force of law), there shall be an increase in the cost to any
Liquidity Provider of any commitment to make the Purchase or to fund Increases
or otherwise to maintain the investment in the Class A Certificates or Class A
Certificate Interests in respect of which the Class A Certificate Rate is the
Adjusted Eurodollar Rate, then, upon demand by such Liquidity Provider (with a
copy to the Program Agent and the Seller), the Seller shall immediately pay to
the Program Agent, for the account of such Liquidity Provider (as a third party
beneficiary), additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Liquidity
Provider for such increase in cost. A certificate as to such amounts submitted
to the Seller and the Program Agent by such Affected Person, shall be conclusive
and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
(c) CRC and each Liquidity Provider will promptly notify the
Seller and the Program Agent of any event of which it has knowledge which is
reasonably likely to entitle such Liquidity Provider to compensation pursuant to
this Section 3.02; provided, however, that no failure to give or delay in giving
such
10
14
notification shall adversely affect the rights of CRC or any Liquidity Provider
to such compensation.
SECTION 3.03. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments and deposits
required to be made hereunder or under any other Transaction Document by the
Seller or the Trustee to or for the benefit of CRC or any Liquidity Provider
shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or
future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all
liabilities with respect thereto, excluding taxes imposed on, or measured by
reference to, the net income of, franchise taxes imposed on, and taxes (other
than withholding taxes) imposed on the receipts or gross receipts that are
imposed on CRC or such Liquidity Provider by any of (i) the United States or any
State thereof, (ii) the state jurisdiction under the laws of which CRC or such
Liquidity Provider is organized or in which it is otherwise doing business or
(iii) any political subdivision thereof (all such non-excluded taxes, levies,
imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter
referred to as "Taxes"). If the Seller or the Trustee shall be required by law
to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum required to be paid or
deposited hereunder or under any instrument delivered hereunder to or for the
benefit of CRC or any Liquidity Provider, (A) such sum shall be increased as may
be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions
applicable to additional sums required to be paid or deposited under this
Section 3.03) the amount received by CRC or the relevant Liquidity Provider, or
otherwise deposited hereunder or under such instrument, shall be equal to the
sum which would have been so received or deposited had no such deductions been
made, (B) the Seller or the Trustee (as appropriate) shall make such deductions
and (C) the Seller or the Trustee (as appropriate) shall pay the full amount of
such deductions to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in
accordance with applicable law.
(b) The Seller will indemnify CRC and each Liquidity Provider
for the full amount of Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes imposed
by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 3.03) paid by CRC or
such Liquidity Provider and any liability (including penalties, interest and
expenses) arising therefrom or required to be paid with respect thereto. CRC and
each Liquidity Provider agrees to promptly notify the Seller of any payment of
Taxes made by it and, if practicable, any request, demand or notice received in
respect thereof prior to such payment. CRC and each Liquidity Provider shall be
entitled to payment of this indemnification, as owner of Class A Certificate
Interests pursuant to the terms of the Series 1995-1 Supplement, within 30 days
from the date CRC or such Liquidity Provider makes written demand therefor to
the Program Agent and the Seller. A certificate as to the amount of such
indemnification submitted to the Seller and the Program Agent by CRC or such
Liquidity Provider, setting forth the calculation thereof, shall (absent
manifest error) be conclusive and binding for all purposes.
11
15
(c) Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes, the
Seller or the Trustee (as the case may be) will furnish to the Program Agent the
original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing and any other provisions of
this Section 3.03, the obligations of the Trustee under this Section 3.03 shall
be payable only out of the Trust Assets.
(e) Each Liquidity Provider that is organized under the laws
of a jurisdiction other than the United States or a state thereof hereby agrees
to complete, execute and deliver to the Trustee from time to time prior to the
initial Distribution Date on which such Liquidity Provider will be entitled to
receive distributions pursuant to the Series 1995-1 Supplement and this
Agreement, Internal Revenue Service Forms 1001 or 4224 (or any successor form),
as applicable, or such other forms or certificates as may be required under the
laws of any applicable jurisdiction in order to permit the Seller or the Trustee
to make payments to, and deposit funds to or for the account of, such Liquidity
Provider hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents without any
deduction or withholding for or on account of any tax or with such withholding
or deduction at a reduced rate.
SECTION 3.04. Sharing of Payments. If CRC or any Liquidity
Provider shall obtain any payment or other recovery (whether voluntary,
involuntary, by application of set-off or otherwise) on account of any
Obligation (other than pursuant to Section 3.02 of this Agreement) which is in
excess of its pro rata share of the sum of payments then or theretofore obtained
by CRC and the Liquidity Providers, CRC or any such Liquidity Provider shall
purchase from the Liquidity Providers or CRC, as applicable, such participations
in Obligations held by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchaser to
share the excess payment or other recovery ratably with each of them; provided,
however, that if all or any portion of the excess payment or other recovery is
thereafter recovered from such purchasing Liquidity Provider or CRC, as the case
may be, the purchase of such participations shall be rescinded and the seller of
such participation shall repay to such purchaser the purchase price of such
participation to the ratable extent of such recovery together with an amount
equal to such Liquidity Provider's or CRC's ratable share (according to the
proportion of the amount of such seller's required repayment to such purchaser
to the total amount so recovered from such purchaser) of any interest or other
Amount payable by such purchaser in respect of the total amount so recovered.

RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF THE PARTIES HERETO, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN

hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the nonexclusive
jurisdiction of any New York State court or federal court of the United States
of America sitting in New York City, and any appellate court from any thereof,

unconditionally (i) agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or
proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent
permitted by law, such federal court and (ii) waives the defense of an

SECTION 8.11. Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party to this
Agreement waives any right to a trial by jury in any action or proceeding to

herewith or therewith or arising from any course of conduct, course of dealing,
statements (whether verbal of written), actions of any of the parties hereto and

this Agreement of any other Transaction Document or the Fee Letter, and agrees
that any such action or proceeding shall be tried before a court and not before
a jury.
SECTION 8.12. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be
executed in any number of counterparts and by the 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.
SECTION 8.13. Replacement of Liquidity Providers. The Program
Agent shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate the rights and
obligations of the Liquidity Providers to make the Purchase or fund Increases in
the event that the applicable rating described in the definition of "Eligible
Assignee" shall be downgraded. Such termination shall be effective upon written
notice to such effect delivered by the Program Agent to such Liquidity Provider,
whereupon the Term of such Liquidity
23
27
Provider's Commitment shall be deemed to have terminated. Upon such termination,
the Liquidity Provider shall cease to have any rights or obligations with
respect to future Increases under this Agreement but shall continue to have the
rights and obligations of a Liquidity Provider with respect to any Increases
funded by it under this Agreement prior to such termination.
SECTION 8.14. Reimbursement of Program Agent. Each Liquidity
Provider will on demand reimburse the Program Agent its Liquidity Provider

Certificate in which such Liquidity Provider purchases Class A Certificate

for any such amount, the Program Agent shall immediately pay to each Liquidity
Provider its Liquidity Provider Commitment Percentage of such amount.
SECTION 8.15. No Conflict of Interest. The Program Agent and
its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money or otherwise extend credit
to, act as trustee under indentures of, and generally engage in any kind of
business with, the Seller and any of its Affiliates and any Person who may do
business with or own securities of the Seller or any of its Affiliates, all as
though this Agreement had not been entered into and without any duty to account
therefor to CRC or any Liquidity Provider.
SECTION 8.16. Withholding Taxes. Each Liquidity Provider
warrants that it is not subject to any taxes, charges, levies or withholdings
with respect to payments under this Agreement that are imposed by means of
withholding by any applicable taxing authority ("Withholding Tax"). Each
Liquidity Provider agrees to provide the Program Agent, from time to time upon
the Program Agent's request, completed and signed copies of any documents that
may be required by any applicable taxing authority to certify such Liquidity
Provider's exemption from Withholding Tax with respect to payments to be made to
such Liquidity Provider under this Agreement. Each Liquidity Provider agrees to
hold the Program Agent and the Seller harmless from any Withholding Tax imposed
due to such Liquidity Provider's failure to establish that it is not subject to
Withholding Tax.
