This AMENDED AND RESTATED RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AGREEMENT (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, this “Agreement”) is entered into as of October 24, 2006, among AGC FUNDING CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation, as seller (the “Seller”), AMERICAN GREETINGS CORPORATION, an Ohio corporation (“Greetings”), as servicer (in such capacity, together with its successors and permitted assigns in such capacity, the “Servicer”), THE MEMBERS OF VARIOUS PURCHASER GROUPS FROM TIME TO TIME PARTIES HERETO, PNC BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (“PNC”), as Administrator for each Purchaser Group (in such capacity, the “Administrator”) and as issuer of Letters of Credit (in such capacity, together with its successors and permitted assigns in such capacity, the “LC Bank”), and each of the other members of each Purchaser Group party hereto or that become parties hereto by executing an Assumption Agreement or a Transfer Supplement.

PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS. Certain terms that are capitalized and used throughout this Agreement are defined in Exhibit I. References in the Exhibits hereto to the “Agreement” refer to this Agreement, as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time.

The Seller (i) desires to sell, transfer and assign an undivided variable percentage interest in a pool of receivables, and the Purchasers desire to acquire such undivided variable percentage interest, as such percentage interest shall be adjusted from time to time based upon, in part, reinvestment payments that are made by such Purchasers and (ii) may, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, request that the LC Bank issue or cause the issuance of Letters of Credit.

This Agreement amends and restates in its entirety, as of the Closing Date, the Receivables Purchase Agreement, dated as of August 7, 2001 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified prior to the date hereof, the “Original Agreement”), among the Seller, the Servicer, the financial institutions party thereto from time to time and the Administrator. Notwithstanding the amendment and restatement of the Original Agreement by this Agreement, the Seller and Servicer shall continue to be liable to PNC, each of the financial institutions party to the Original Agreement from time to time or any other Indemnified Party or Affected Person (as such terms are defined in the Original Agreement) for fees and expenses which are accrued and unpaid under the Original Agreement on the date hereof, as notified by each Purchaser Agent to the Seller and the Servicer (collectively, the “Original Agreement Outstanding Amounts”), and all agreements to indemnify such parties in connection with events or conditions arising or existing prior to the effective date of this Agreement. Upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, PNC as LC Bank shall become a party to this Agreement and each reference to the Original Agreement in any other document, instrument or agreement shall mean and be a reference to this Agreement. Nothing contained herein, unless expressly herein stated to the contrary, is intended to amend, modify or otherwise affect any other instrument, document or agreement executed and/or delivered in connection with the Original Agreement.

In consideration of the mutual agreements, provisions and covenants contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF THE PURCHASES

Section 1.1 Purchase Facility.

(a) On the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, the Seller may, from time to time before the Facility Termination Date, request that the Conduit Purchasers, or, only if a Conduit Purchaser denies such request or is unable to fund (and provides notice of such denial or inability to the Seller, the Administrator and its Purchaser Agent), ratably request that the Related Committed Purchasers, make purchases of and reinvestments in and, if so requested in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement, the LC Bank hereby agrees to issue Letters of Credit in return for undivided percentage ownership interests with regard to the Purchased Interest from the Seller from time to time from the date hereof to the Facility Termination Date. Subject to Section 1.4(b), concerning reinvestments, at no time will a Conduit Purchaser that is not also a Related Committed Purchaser have any obligation to make a Purchase. Each Related Committed Purchaser severally hereby agrees, on the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, to make Purchases before the Facility Termination Date, based on the applicable Purchaser Group’s Ratable Share of each purchase requested pursuant to Section 1.2(a) (each a “Purchase”) (and, in the case of each Related Committed Purchaser, its Commitment Percentage of its Purchaser Group’s Ratable Share of such Purchase) to the extent its Investment would not thereby exceed its Commitment and the Aggregate Investment would not (after giving effect to all Purchases on such date) exceed the Purchase Limit.

The Seller may, subject to the remainder of this paragraph (a) and the other requirements and conditions herein, use the proceeds of any purchase or reinvestment by the Purchasers hereunder to satisfy its Reimbursement Obligation to the LC Bank pursuant to Section 1.14 below.

In addition, in the event the Seller fails to reimburse the LC Bank for the full amount of any drawing under any Letter of Credit on the applicable Drawing Date (out of its own funds available therefor, or otherwise, at such time), pursuant to Section 1.14 below, then the Seller shall, automatically (and without the requirement of any further action on the part of any Person hereunder), be deemed to have requested a new Purchase from the Purchasers on such date, pursuant to the terms hereof, in an amount equal to the amount of such Reimbursement Obligation that is due and owing at such time. Subject to the limitations on funding set forth in the remainder of this paragraph (a) below (and the other requirements and conditions herein), the Purchasers shall fund such deemed purchase request and deliver the proceeds thereof directly to the Administrator to be immediately distributed to the LC Bank in satisfaction of the Seller’s Reimbursement Obligation pursuant to Section 1.14 below, to the extent of the amounts permitted to be funded by the Purchasers, at such time, hereunder.

Notwithstanding anything set forth in this paragraph (a) or otherwise herein to the contrary, under no circumstances shall any Purchaser make any such purchase or

reinvestment (including, without limitation, any deemed purchases by the Purchasers pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraphs of this Section 1.1(a)), or issue any Letter of Credit, as applicable, if, after giving effect to such purchase, reinvestment or issuance, (i) the aggregate outstanding amount of the Investment funded by such Purchaser shall exceed (A) its Purchaser Group’s Group Commitment, as the same may be reduced from time to time pursuant to Section 1.1(b), minus (B) in the case of the LC Bank, the face amount of any outstanding Letters of Credit or (ii) the Aggregate Investment plus the LC Amount would exceed the Purchase Limit.

(b) The Seller may, upon at least 60 days’ written notice to the Administrator and each Purchaser Agent terminate the purchase facility provided for in this Section in whole or, upon 30 days’ written notice to the Administrator and each Purchaser Agent, from time to time, irrevocably reduce in part the unfunded portion of the Purchase Limit (but not below the amount which would cause the Investment of any Purchaser Group to exceed its Group Commitment (after giving effect to such reduction)); provided that each partial reduction shall be in the amount of at least $10,000,000, or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and unless terminated in whole, the Purchase Limit shall in no event be reduced below $50,000,000. Such reduction shall, at the option of the Seller, be applied to reduce the Group Commitment of the Purchaser Group to which Liberty Street Funding Corporation is a member. The Administrator shall promptly advise the Purchaser Agents of any notice received by it pursuant to this Section 1.1(b); it being understood that (in addition to and without limiting any other requirements for termination, prepayment and/or funding of the LC Collateral Account hereunder) no such termination or reduction shall be effective unless and until (i) in the case of a termination, the amount on deposit in the LC Collateral Account is at least equal to the then outstanding LC Amount and (ii) in the case of a partial reduction, the amount on deposit in the LC Collateral Account is at least equal to the positive difference between the then outstanding LC Amount minus the Purchase Limit as so reduced by such partial reduction.

Section 1.2 Making Purchases.

(a) Each Funded Purchase (but not reinvestment) of undivided percentage ownership interests with regard to the Purchased Interest hereunder shall be made upon the Seller’s irrevocable written notice in the form of Annex B delivered to the Administrator and each Purchaser Agent in accordance with Section 6.2 (which notice must be received by the Administrator and each Purchaser Agent before 11:00 a.m., New York City time) at least two Business Days before the requested Purchase Date, which notice shall specify: (A) solely in the case of a Funded Purchase to be made by a Conduit Purchaser or a Related Committed Purchaser, the amount requested to be paid to the Seller (such amount, which shall not be less than $300,000 (or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof), or such lesser amount as is agreed to by the Administrator and each Purchaser Agent, with respect to each Purchaser Group, being the aggregate of the Investments of each Purchaser within such Purchaser Group, relating to the undivided percentage ownership interest then being purchased), (B) the date of such Funded Purchase (which shall be a Business Day), and (C) a pro forma calculation of the Purchased Interest after giving effect to the increase in the Aggregate

Investment. If the Purchase is requested from a Conduit Purchaser and such Conduit Purchaser determines, in its sole discretion, to make the requested Purchase, such Conduit Purchaser shall transfer to the account of the Seller described in Section 1.2(b), below (the “Disbursement Account”), an amount equal to such Conduit Purchaser’s Purchaser Group Ratable Share of such Purchase by no later than 4:00 p.m. (New York time) on the requested Purchase Date. If the Purchase is requested from the Related Committed Purchasers for a Purchaser Group (in the case where the related Conduit Purchaser determined not to or was unable to make such Purchase), subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such Related Committed Purchasers for a Purchaser Group shall transfer the applicable Purchaser Group’s Ratable Share of each Purchase (and, in the case of each Related Committed Purchaser, its Commitment Percentage of its Purchaser Group’s Ratable Share of such Purchase) into the Disbursement Account by no later than 4:00 p.m. (New York time) on the requested Purchase Date.

(b) On the date of each Funded Purchase (but not reinvestment or issuance of a Letter of Credit) of undivided percentage ownership interests with regard to the Purchased Interest hereunder, each Purchaser (or the related Purchaser Agent on its behalf) shall make available to the Seller, at or prior to the time set forth above, in same day funds, in the bank account set forth on Schedule 1.2(b), an amount equal to the proceeds of such Purchase.

(c) Effective on the date of each Funded Purchase pursuant to this Section 1.2 and each reinvestment pursuant to Section 1.4, the Seller hereby sells and assigns to the Administrator for the benefit of the applicable Purchasers (ratably, according to each such Purchaser’s Investment plus the LC Amount outstanding at such time) an undivided percentage ownership interest in: (i) each Pool Receivable then existing, (ii) all Related Security with respect to such Pool Receivables, and (iii) all Collections with respect to, and other proceeds of, such Pool Receivables and Related Security.

(d) To secure all of the Seller’s obligations (monetary or otherwise) under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, whether now or hereafter existing or arising, due or to become due, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, the Seller hereby grants to the Administrator for the benefit of the Purchasers a security interest in all of the Seller’s right, title and interest (including any undivided interest of the Seller) in, to and under all of the following, whether now or hereafter owned, existing or arising: (i) all Pool Receivables, (ii) all Related Security with respect to such Pool Receivables, (iii) all Collections with respect to such Pool Receivables, (iv) the Lock-Box Accounts and all amounts on deposit therein, and all certificates and instruments, if any, from time to time evidencing such Lock-Box Accounts and amounts on deposit therein, (v) all books and records of each Pool Receivable, and all Transaction Documents to which the Seller is a party, together with all rights (but none of the obligations) of the Seller thereunder and (vi) all proceeds and products of, and all amounts received or receivable under any or all of, the foregoing (collectively, the “Pool Assets”). The Administrator, for the benefit of the Purchasers, shall have, with respect to the Pool Assets, and in addition to all the other rights and remedies available to the Administrator and the Purchasers, all the rights and remedies of a secured party under any applicable UCC.

(e) Whenever the LC Bank issues a Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 1.12 hereof, the LC Bank shall, automatically and without further action of any kind being required on the effective date of issuance of such Letter of Credit, irrevocably be deemed to have made a Funded Purchase hereunder in the event that such Letter of Credit is subsequently drawn and such drawn amount shall not have been reimbursed pursuant to Section 1.14 upon such draw. All such Funded Purchases shall comprise Base Rate Portions of Investment in an amount equal to the amount of such draw (without regard to the numerical requirements set forth in Section 1.2(a)) and shall accrue Discount from the date of such draw. In the event that any Letter of Credit expires or is surrendered without being drawn (in whole or in part) then, in such event, the LC Bank’s commitment to make Funded Purchases shall expire with respect to such Letter of Credit and the LC Amount shall automatically reduce by the amount of the Letter of Credit which is no longer outstanding.

(f) The Seller may, with the written consent of the Administrator and each Purchaser Agent, add additional Persons as Purchasers (either to an existing Purchaser Group or by creating new Purchaser Groups) or cause an existing Purchaser to increase its Commitment in connection with a corresponding increase in the Purchase Limit; provided, however, that the Commitment of any Purchaser may only be increased with the consent of such Purchaser. Each new Purchaser (or Purchaser Group) and each Purchaser increasing its Commitment shall become a party hereto or increase its Commitment, as the case may be, by executing and delivering to the Administrator and the Seller an Assumption Agreement in the form of Annex C hereto (which Assumption Agreement shall, in the case of any new Purchaser or Purchasers, be executed by each Person in such new Purchaser’s Purchaser Group).

(g) Each Related Committed Purchaser’s obligation hereunder shall be several, such that the failure of any Related Committed Purchaser to make a payment in connection with any Funded Purchase hereunder shall not relieve any other Related Committed Purchaser of its obligation hereunder to make payment for any Purchase. Further, in the event any Related Committed Purchaser fails to satisfy its obligation to make a Funded Purchase as required hereunder, upon receipt of notice of such failure from the Administrator (or any relevant Purchaser Agent), subject to the limitations set forth herein, the non-defaulting Related Committed Purchasers in such defaulting Related Committed Purchaser’s Purchaser Group shall purchase the defaulting Related Committed Purchaser’s Commitment Percentage of the related Purchase pro rata in proportion to their relative Commitment Percentages (determined without regard to the Commitment Percentage of the defaulting Related Committed Purchaser; it being understood that a defaulting Related Committed Purchaser’s Commitment Percentage of any Purchase shall be first put to the Related Committed Purchasers in such defaulting Related Committed Purchaser’s Purchaser Group and thereafter if there are no other Related Committed Purchasers in such Purchaser Group or if such other Related Committed Purchasers are also defaulting Related Committed Purchasers, then such defaulting Related Committed Purchaser’s Commitment Percentage of such Funded Purchase shall be put to each other Purchaser Group ratably and applied in accordance with this paragraph (g)). Notwithstanding anything in this paragraph (g) to the contrary, no Related Committed Purchaser shall be required to make a Purchase pursuant to this

paragraph for an amount which would cause (i) the Investment of such Related Committed Purchaser (after giving effect to such Funded Purchase) to exceed its Commitment or (ii) the sum of the aggregate Investments of all Purchasers in the Purchaser Group of such Related Committed Purchaser (after giving effect to such Funded Purchase) to exceed the sum of the Commitments of all of the Purchasers in such Purchaser Group.

Section 1.3 Purchased Interest Computation. The Purchased Interest shall be initially computed on the date of the initial Purchase hereunder. Thereafter, until the Facility Termination Date, such Purchased Interest shall be automatically recomputed (or deemed to be recomputed) on each Business Day other than a Termination Day. From and after the occurrence of any Termination Day, the Purchased Interest shall (until the event(s) giving rise to such Termination Day are satisfied or are waived by the Administrator and the Majority Purchaser Agents) be deemed to be 100%. The Purchased Interest shall become zero when the Aggregate Investment thereof and Aggregate Discount thereon shall have been paid in full, an amount equal to 100% of the LC Amount has been deposited in the LC Collateral Account, all the amounts owed by the Seller, each Originator, Greetings and the Servicer hereunder or under any other Transaction Document to each Purchaser, each Purchaser Agent, the Administrator and any other Indemnified Party or Affected Person are paid in full, and the Servicer shall have received the accrued Servicing Fee thereon.

Section 1.4 Settlement Procedures.

(a) The collection of the Pool Receivables shall be administered by the Servicer in accordance with this Agreement. The Seller shall provide to the Servicer on a timely basis all information needed for such administration, including notice of the occurrence of any Termination Day and current computations of the Purchased Interest.

(ii) subject to Section 1.4(f), if such day is not a Termination Day, remit to the Seller, ratably, on behalf of each Purchaser Group, the remainder of

the Purchasers’ Share of such Collections. Such remainder shall, to the extent representing a return on the Aggregate Investment, ratably, according to each Purchaser’s Investment, be automatically reinvested in Pool Receivables, and in the Related Security, Collections and other proceeds with respect thereto; provided, however, that if the Purchased Interest would exceed 100%, then the Servicer shall not reinvest, but shall set aside and hold in trust for the benefit of the Purchasers (and shall, at the request of the Administrator (with the consent or at the direction of the Majority Purchaser Agents), segregate in a separate account approved by the Administrator if, at the time of such request, there exists an Unmatured Termination Event or a Termination Event (or if the failure to so segregate reasonably could be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect)) a portion of such Collections that, together with the other Collections set aside pursuant to this paragraph, shall equal the amount necessary to reduce the Purchased Interest to 100%; provided, further, that in the case of any Purchaser that has provided notice (an “Exiting Notice”) to its Purchaser Agent of its refusal, pursuant to Section 1.20, to extend its Commitment hereunder (an “Exiting Purchaser”), then such Purchaser’s ratable share of such Collections based on its Investment shall not be reinvested and shall instead be held in trust for the benefit of such Purchaser and applied in accordance with clause (iii) below,

(iii) if such day is a Termination Day (or any day following the provision of an Exiting Notice), set aside, segregate and hold in trust (and shall, at the request of the Administrator (with the consent or at the direction of the Majority Purchaser Agents), segregate in a separate account approved by the Administrator) for the benefit of each Purchaser Group the entire remainder of the Purchasers’ Share of the Collections (or in the case of an Exiting Purchaser an amount equal to such Purchaser’s ratable share of such Collections based on its Investment; provided, that solely for the purpose of determining such Purchaser’s ratable share of such Collections, such Purchaser’s Investment shall be deemed to remain constant from the date of the provision of an Exiting Notice until the date such Purchaser’s Investment has been paid in full; it being understood that if such day is also a Termination Day, such Exiting Purchaser’s Investment shall be recalculated taking into account amounts received by such Purchaser in respect of this parenthetical and thereafter Collections shall be set aside for such Purchaser ratably in respect of its Investment (as recalculated)); provided, that if amounts are set aside and held in trust on any Termination Day of the type described in clause (a) of the definition of “Termination Day” (or any day following the provision of an Exiting Notice) and, thereafter, the conditions set forth in Section 2 of Exhibit II are satisfied or waived by the Administrator and the Majority Purchaser Agents (or in the case of an Exiting Notice, such Exiting Notice has been revoked by the related Exiting Purchaser, and written notice thereof has been provided to the Administrator, the related Purchaser Agent and the Servicer), such previously set-aside amounts shall, to the extent representing a return on Aggregate Investment (or the Investment of the Exiting Purchaser) and ratably in accordance with each Purchaser’s Investment, be reinvested in accordance with

clause (ii) on the day of such subsequent satisfaction or waiver of conditions or revocation of Exiting Notice, and

(iv) release to the Seller (subject to Section 1.4(f)) for its own account any Collections in excess of: (w) amounts required to be reinvested in accordance with clause (ii) or the proviso to clause (iii) plus (x) the amounts that are required to be set aside pursuant to clause (i) and the provisos to clause (ii) and clause (iii) plus (y) the Seller’s Share of the Servicing Fee accrued and unpaid through such day and all reasonable and appropriate out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Servicer for servicing, collecting and administering the Pool Receivables plus (z) all other amounts then due and owing by the Seller under this Agreement to the applicable Conduit Purchaser, the LC Bank, the Administrator and any other Indemnified Party or Affected Person.

(c) The Servicer shall, in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 1.4(d), below, deposit into each applicable Purchaser’s account (or such other account designated by such applicable Purchaser or its Purchaser Agent), on each Settlement Date, Collections held for each Purchaser with respect to such Purchaser’s Portion(s) of Investment pursuant to clause (b)(i) or (f) of Section 1.4 plus the amount of Collections then held for such Purchaser pursuant to clauses (b)(ii) and (iii) of Section 1.4; provided, that if Greetings, any Originator, AGSC or an Affiliate thereof is the Servicer, such day is not a Termination Day and the Administrator has not notified Greetings, AGSC or such Originator (or such Affiliate) that such right is revoked, Greetings, AGSC or such Originator (or such Affiliate) may retain the portion of the Collections set aside pursuant to clause (b)(i) that represents the aggregate of each Purchaser Group’s Ratable Share of the Purchasers’ Share of the Servicing Fee. On or before the last day of each Yield Period with respect to any Portion of Investment, the applicable Purchaser Agent will notify the Servicer by facsimile of the amount of the Discount accrued with respect to each such Portion of Investment during the related Yield Period then ending.

(d) The Servicer shall distribute the amounts described (and at the times set forth) in Section 1.4(c), as follows:

the aggregate of each Purchaser Group’s Ratable Share of the Purchasers’ Share of accrued Servicing Fees so set aside, and

(ii) if such distribution occurs on a Termination Day or on a day when the Purchased Interest exceeds 100%, first if Greetings, AGSC or any Originator or an Affiliate thereof is not the Servicer, to the Servicer’s own account in payment in full of all accrued Servicing Fees, second to each Purchaser Agent ratably according to Discount (for the benefit of the relevant Purchasers within such Purchaser Agent’s Purchaser Group) in payment in full of all accrued Discount with respect to each Portion of Investment funded or maintained by the Purchasers within such Purchaser Agent’s Purchaser Group, third to each Purchaser Agent ratably according to the aggregate of the Investment of each Purchaser in each such Purchaser Agent’s Purchaser Group (for the benefit of the relevant Purchasers within such Purchaser Agent’s Purchaser Group) in payment in full of each Purchaser’s Investment (or, if such day is not a Termination Day, the amount necessary to reduce the Purchased Interest to 100%) and to the LC Collateral Account for the benefit of the LC Bank, until the amount of cash collateral held in such LC Collateral Account equals the aggregate outstanding amount of the LC Amount, fourth, it being understood that each Purchaser Agent shall distribute the amounts described in the second and third clauses of this Section 1.4(d)(ii) to the Purchasers within its Purchaser Group ratably according to Discount and Investment, respectively, fifth, if the Aggregate Investment and accrued Aggregate Discount with respect to each Portion of Investment for all Purchaser Groups have been reduced to zero or if such day is not a Termination Day, the Purchased Interest is reduced to 100%, and all accrued Servicing Fees payable to the Servicer (if other than Greetings, AGSC or any Originator or an Affiliate thereof) have been paid in full, to each Purchaser Group ratably (for the benefit of the Purchasers within such Purchaser Group) in accordance with its Ratable Share, the Administrator and any other Indemnified Party or Affected Person in payment in full of any other amounts owed thereto by the Seller or Servicer hereunder and, sixth, to the Servicer’s own account (if the Servicer is Greetings, AGSC or any Originator or an Affiliate thereof) in payment in full of the aggregate of each Purchaser Group’s Ratable Share of all accrued Servicing Fees.

After the Aggregate Investment, Aggregate Discount, fees payable pursuant to each Purchaser Group Fee Letter and Servicing Fees with respect to the Purchased Interest, and any other amounts payable by the Seller and the Servicer to each Purchaser Group, the Administrator or any other Indemnified Party or Affected Person hereunder, have been paid in full, and (on and after a Termination Day) after an amount equal to 100% of the LC Amount has been deposited in the LC Collateral Account, all additional Collections with respect to the Purchased Interest shall be paid to the Seller for its own account.

(ii) if on any day any of the representations or warranties in Section 1(g) or (n) of Exhibit III is not true with respect to any Pool Receivable, the Seller shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection of such Pool Receivable in full;

(iii) except as provided in clause (i) or (ii), or as otherwise required by applicable law or the relevant Contract, all Collections received from an Obligor of any Receivable shall be applied to the Receivables of such Obligor in the order of the age of such Receivables, starting with the oldest such Receivable, unless such Obligor designates in writing its payment for application to specific Receivables; and

(iv) if and to the extent the Administrator, any Purchaser Agent or any Purchaser shall be required for any reason to pay over to an Obligor (or any trustee, receiver, custodian or similar official in any Insolvency Proceeding) any amount received by it hereunder, such amount shall be deemed not to have been so received by such Person but rather to have been retained by the Seller and, accordingly, such Person shall have a claim against the Seller for such amount, payable when and to the extent that any distribution from or on behalf of such Obligor is made in respect thereof.

(f) If at any time the Seller shall wish to cause the reduction of the Aggregate Investment (but not to commence the liquidation, or reduction to zero, of the entire Aggregate Investment), the Seller may do so as follows:

(i) the Seller shall give the Administrator, each Purchaser Agent and the Servicer (A) at least two Business Days’ prior written notice thereof for any reduction of Aggregate Investment less than or equal to $10,000,000 and (B) at least ten Business Days’ prior written notice thereof for any reduction of Aggregate Investment greater than $10,000,000 (in each case such notice shall

include the amount of such proposed reduction and the proposed date on which such reduction will commence);

(ii) on the proposed date of commencement of such reduction and on each day thereafter, the Servicer shall cause Collections not to be reinvested until the amount thereof not so reinvested shall equal the desired amount of reduction; and

(iii) the Servicer shall hold such Collections in trust for the benefit of each Purchaser ratably according to its Investment, for payment to each such Purchaser (or its related Purchaser Agent for the benefit of such Purchaser) on the (i) next Settlement Date with respect to any Portions of Investment maintained by such Purchaser immediately following the related current Yield Period or (ii) such other date approved by the Administrator, and the Aggregate Investment (together with the Investment of any related Purchaser) shall be deemed reduced in the amount to be paid to such Purchaser (or its related Purchaser Agent for the benefit of such Purchaser) only when in fact finally so paid;

provided, that:

(A) the amount of any such reduction shall be not less than $1,000,000 for each Purchaser Group and shall be an integral multiple of $100,000, and the entire Aggregate Investment after giving effect to such reduction shall be an integral multiple of $1,000,000 (unless the Aggregate Investment shall have been reduced to zero); and

(B) with respect to any Portion of Investment, the Seller shall choose a reduction amount, and the date of commencement thereof, so that to the extent practicable such reduction shall commence and conclude in the same Yield Period.

Section 1.5 Fees. The Seller shall pay to each Purchaser Agent for the benefit of the related Purchasers certain fees in the amounts and on the dates set forth in letters, dated the date hereof (or dated the date that the Purchasers in the related Purchaser Group become party to this Agreement; each such letter, as amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, a “Purchaser Group Fee Letter”) in each case among the Seller, the Servicer and the related Purchaser Agent.

Section 1.6 Payments and Computations, Etc. All amounts to be paid or deposited by the Seller or the Servicer hereunder shall be made without reduction for offset or counterclaim and shall be paid or deposited no later than noon (New York City time) on the day when due in same day funds to the applicable Purchaser’s account (as such account is identified in the related Purchaser Group Fee Letter). All amounts received after noon (New York City time) will be deemed to have been received on the next Business Day.

(a) The Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, shall, to the extent permitted by law, pay interest on any amount not paid or deposited by the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, when due hereunder, at an interest rate equal to the Base Rate, payable on demand.

(b) All computations of interest under clause (b) and all computations of Discount, fees and other amounts hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 (or 365 or 366, as applicable, with respect to Discount or other amounts calculated by reference to the Base Rate) days for the actual number of days elapsed. Whenever any payment or deposit to be made hereunder shall be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment or deposit shall be made on the next Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of such payment or deposit.

(c) Each Affected Person will notify Seller and the applicable Purchaser Agent promptly after it has actual knowledge of any event which will entitle such Affected Person to such additional amounts as compensation pursuant to Section 1.7. and Section 1.8. Such additional amounts shall accrue from the date as to which such Affected Person becomes subject to such additional costs as a result of such event (or if such notice of such event is not given to Seller by such Affected Person within 90 days after such Affected Person has actual knowledge of such event, from the date which is 90 days prior to the date such notice is given to Seller by such Affected Person).

Section 1.7 Increased Costs.

(a) If any Purchaser Agent, Purchaser, Liquidity Provider, the Administrator or any other Program Support Provider or any of their respective Affiliates (each an “Affected Person”) reasonably determines that the existence of or compliance with: (i) any law, rule or regulation (including any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy) or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, in each case adopted, issued or occurring after the date hereof, or (ii) any request, guideline or directive from Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), or any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) issued or occurring after the date of this Agreement, 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 purchases of (or otherwise to maintain the investment in) Pool Receivables or to issue any Letter of Credit, in each case, related to this Agreement or any related liquidity facility, credit enhancement facility or other commitments of the same type, then, upon demand by such Affected Person (with a copy to the Administrator), the Seller shall promptly pay to the Administrator, for the account of such Affected Person, from time to time as specified by such Affected Person, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Affected Person in the light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Affected Person reasonably determines such increase in capital to be allocable to the existence of any of such commitments. For the avoidance of doubt, if the issuance of FASB Interpretation No. 46, or any other change in accounting standards or the issuance of any other pronouncement, release or interpretation, guideline or directive from FASB or any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), causes or requires the consolidation of all or a portion of the assets and liabilities of the Seller or the applicable Conduit Purchaser with the assets and liabilities of such Affected Person, and such consolidation affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Affected Person, such event shall constitute a circumstance on

which such Person may base a claim for reimbursement under this Section 1.7. A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Seller and the Administrator by such Affected Person shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(b) If, due to either: (i) the introduction of or any change 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 any increase in the cost to any Affected Person of agreeing to purchase or purchasing, or maintaining the ownership of, the Purchased Interest or any portion thereof in respect of which Discount is computed by reference to the Euro-Rate, then, upon demand by such Affected Person, the Seller shall promptly pay to such Affected Person, from time to time as specified by such Affected Person, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Affected Person for such increased costs. A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Seller and the Administrator by such Affected Person shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(c) If such increased costs affect the related Affected Person’s portfolio of financing transactions, such Affected Person shall use reasonable averaging and attribution methods to allocate such increased costs to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 1.8 Requirements of Law. If any Affected Person reasonably determines that the existence of or compliance with: (a) any law, rule or regulation or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, in each case adopted, issued or occurring after the date hereof, or (b) any request, guideline or directive from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) issued or occurring after the date of this Agreement:

(i) does or shall subject such Affected Person to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any increase in the Purchased Interest or any portion thereof or in the amount of such Person’s Investment relating thereto, or does or shall change the basis of taxation of payments to such Affected Person on account of Collections, Discount or any other amounts payable hereunder (excluding, in each case, taxes imposed on the overall pre-tax net income of such Affected Person, and franchise taxes imposed on such Affected Person, by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Affected Person is organized or a political subdivision thereof),

(ii) does or shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, purchases, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Affected Person that are not otherwise included in the determination of the Euro-Rate or the Base Rate hereunder, or

(iii) does or shall impose on such Affected Person any other condition,

and the result of any of the foregoing is: (A) to increase the cost to such Affected Person of acting as Administrator or as a Purchaser Agent, or of agreeing to purchase or purchasing or maintaining the ownership of undivided percentage ownership interests with regard to, or issuing any Letter of Credit in respect of, the Purchased Interest (or interests therein) or any Portion of Investment, or (B) to reduce any amount receivable hereunder (whether directly or indirectly), then, in any such case, upon written demand by such Affected Person, the Seller shall promptly pay to such Affected Person additional amounts necessary to compensate such Affected Person for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable. All such amounts shall be payable as incurred. A certificate from such Affected Person to the Seller and the Administrator certifying, in reasonably specific detail, the basis for, calculation of, and amount of such additional costs or reduced amount receivable shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error; provided, however, that no Affected Person shall be required to disclose any confidential or tax planning information in any such certificate.

Section 1.9 Inability to Determine Euro-Rate.

(a) If the Administrator (or any Purchaser Agent) determines before the first day of any Yield Period (which determination shall be final and conclusive) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank eurodollar market generally, deposits in dollars (in the relevant amounts for such Yield Period) are not being offered to banks in the interbank eurodollar market for such Yield Period, or adequate means do not exist for ascertaining the Euro-Rate for such Yield Period, then the Administrator shall give notice thereof to the Seller. Thereafter, until the Administrator or such Purchaser Agent notifies the Seller that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, (a) no Portion of Investment shall be funded at the Yield Rate determined by reference to the Euro-Rate and (b) the Discount for any outstanding Portions of Investment then funded at the Yield Rate determined by reference to the Euro-Rate shall, on the last day of the then current Yield Period, be converted to the Yield Rate determined by reference to the Base Rate.

(b) If, on or before the first day of any Yield Period, the Administrator shall have been notified by any Purchaser, Purchaser Agent or Liquidity Provider that, such Person has determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive) that, any enactment, promulgation or adoption of or any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by a Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by such Person with any guideline, request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall make it unlawful or impossible for such Person to fund or maintain any Portion of Investment at the Yield Rate and based upon the Euro-Rate, the Administrator shall notify the Seller thereof. Upon receipt of such notice, until the Administrator notifies the Seller that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer apply, (a) no Portion of Investment shall be funded at the Yield Rate determined by reference to the Euro-Rate and (b) the Discount for any outstanding Portions of Investment then funded at the Yield Rate determined by reference to the Euro-Rate shall be converted to the Yield Rate determined by reference to the Base Rate either (i) on the last day of the then current Yield Period if such Person

may lawfully continue to maintain such Portion of Investment at the Yield Rate determined by reference to the Euro-Rate to such day, or (ii) immediately, if such Person may not lawfully continue to maintain such Portion of Investment at the Yield Rate determined by reference to the Euro-Rate to such day.

Section 1.10 Taxes. The Seller agrees that any and all payments by the Seller under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all current or future taxes, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding overall income or franchise taxes, in either case, imposed on the Person receiving such payment by the Seller hereunder by the jurisdiction under whose laws such Person is organized or any political subdivision thereof (all such nonexcluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If the Seller shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Affected Person, then the sum payable shall be increased by the amount necessary to yield to such Person (after payment of all Taxes) an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made. Whenever any Taxes are payable by the Seller, the Seller agrees that, as promptly as possible thereafter, the Seller shall send to the Administrator for its own account or for the account of any Affected Person, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt showing payment thereof or such other evidence of such payment as may be available to the Seller and acceptable to the taxing authorities having jurisdiction over such Person. If the Seller fails to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Administrator the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Seller shall indemnify the Administrator and/or any other Affected Person, as applicable, for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by such party as a result of any such failure.

Section 1.11 Letters of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the LC Bank shall issue or cause the issuance of Letters of Credit (“Letters of Credit”) on behalf of Seller (and, if applicable, on behalf of, or for the account of, Greetings, as the Originator under the Sale and Contribution Agreement, in favor of such beneficiaries as Greetings, as the Originator under the Sale and Contribution Agreement, may elect); provided, however, that the LC Bank will not be required to issue or cause to be issued any Letters of Credit to the extent that the issuance of such Letters of Credit would then cause either (a) the sum of (i) the Aggregate Investment plus (ii) the LC Amount to exceed the Purchase Limit or (b) the Investment for Purchasers in the LC Bank’s Purchaser Group to exceed the Group Commitment for such Purchaser Group. The LC Amount shall not exceed in the aggregate, at any time, the aggregate of the Commitments of the Purchaser Group of which the LC Bank is a member. All amounts drawn upon Letters of Credit shall accrue Discount until reimbursed through a deemed Purchase or otherwise. Letters of Credit that have not been drawn upon shall not accrue Discount.

Section 1.12 Issuance of Letters of Credit.

(a) The Seller may request the LC Bank, upon two (2) Business Days’ prior written notice submitted on or before 11:00 a.m., New York time, to issue a Letter of Credit by delivering to the Administrator, the LC Bank’s form of Letter of Credit Application (the “Letter of Credit Application”), substantially in the form of Annex F attached hereto, completed to the satisfaction of the Administrator and the LC Bank;

and, such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as the Administrator may reasonably request. The Seller also has the right to give instructions and make agreements with respect to any Letter of Credit Application and the disposition of documents, and to agree with the Administrator upon any amendment, extension or renewal of any Letter of Credit.

(b) Each Letter of Credit shall, among other things, (i) provide for the payment of sight drafts or other written demands for payment when presented for honor thereunder in accordance with the terms thereof and when accompanied by the documents described therein and (ii) have an expiry date not later than twelve (12) months after such Letter of Credit’s date of issuance. Each Letter of Credit shall be subject either to the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits (1993 Revision), International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 500, and any amendments or revisions thereof adhered to by the LC Bank (“UCP 500”) or the International Standby Practices (ISP98-International Chamber of Commerce Publication Number 590), and any amendments or revisions thereof adhered to by the LC Bank (the “ISP98 Rules”), as determined by the LC Bank.

(c) The Administrator shall promptly notify the LC Bank, at its address for notices hereunder, of the request by the Seller for a Letter of Credit hereunder, and shall provide the LC Bank with the Letter of Credit Application delivered to the Administrator by the Seller pursuant to paragraph (a), above, by the close of business on the day received or if received on a day that is not a Business Day or on any Business Day after 11:00 a.m., New York time, on the next Business Day.

Section 1.13 Requirements For Issuance of Letters of Credit. The Seller shall authorize and direct the LC Bank to name the Seller as the “Applicant” or “Account Party” of each Letter of Credit.

Section 1.14 Disbursements, Reimbursement. In the event of any request for a drawing under a Letter of Credit by the beneficiary or transferee thereof, the LC Bank will promptly notify the Administrator and the Seller of such request. Provided that it shall have received such notice prior to 12:00 p.m., New York time, on the Drawing Date, the Seller shall reimburse (such obligation to reimburse the LC Bank shall sometimes be referred to as a “Reimbursement Obligation”) the LC Bank prior to 1:00 p.m., New York time, on each date that an amount is paid by the LC Bank under any Letter of Credit (each such date, a “Drawing Date”) in an amount equal to the amount so paid by the LC Bank. In the event the Seller fails to reimburse the LC Bank for the full amount of any drawing under any Letter of Credit by 1:00 p.m., New York time, on the Drawing Date, the Seller shall be deemed to have requested that a Funded Purchase be made by Purchasers in the Purchaser Group for the LC Bank to be disbursed on the Drawing Date under such Letter of Credit, subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Group Commitment for such Purchaser Group.

Section 1.15 Documentation. The Seller agrees to be bound by the terms of the Letter of Credit Application and by the LC Bank’s interpretations of any Letter of Credit issued for the Seller and by the LC Bank’s written regulations and customary practices relating to letters of credit, though the LC Bank’s interpretation of such regulations and practices may be different

from the Seller’s own. In the event of a conflict between the Letter of Credit Application and this Agreement, this Agreement shall govern. It is understood and agreed that, except in the case of gross negligence or willful misconduct by the LC Bank, the LC Bank shall not be liable for any error, negligence and/or mistakes, whether of omission or commission, in following the Seller’s instructions or those contained in the Letters of Credit or any modifications, amendments or supplements thereto.

Section 1.16 Determination to Honor Drawing Request. In determining whether to honor any request for drawing under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, the LC Bank shall be responsible only to determine that the documents and certificates required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit have been delivered and that they comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit and that any other drawing condition appearing on the face of such Letter of Credit has been satisfied in the manner so set forth.

Section 1.17 Nature of Reimbursement Obligations. The obligations of the Seller to reimburse the LC Bank upon a draw under a Letter of Credit, shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Article I under all circumstances, including the following circumstances:

(i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which the Seller may have against the LC Bank, the Administrator, any Purchaser or any other Person for any reason whatsoever;

(ii) the failure of the Seller or any other Person to comply with the conditions set forth in this Agreement for the making of a purchase, reinvestments, requests for Letters of Credit or otherwise, it being acknowledged that such conditions are not required for the making of participation advances hereunder;

(iii) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit;

(iv) any claim of breach of warranty that might be made by the Seller or the LC Bank against the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit, or the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which the Seller or the LC Bank may have at any time against a beneficiary, any successor beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit or the proceeds thereof (or any Persons for whom any such transferee may be acting), the Administrator, any Purchaser or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transaction (including any underlying transaction between the Seller or any Subsidiaries of the Seller or any Affiliates of the Seller and the beneficiary for which any Letter of Credit was procured);

(v) the lack of power or authority of any signer of, or lack of validity, sufficiency, accuracy, enforceability or genuineness of, any draft, demand, instrument, certificate or other document presented under any Letter of Credit, or any such draft, demand, instrument, certificate or other document proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid, defective or insufficient in any respect or any

statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, even if the Administrator or the LC Bank has been notified thereof;

(vi) payment by the LC Bank under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a demand, draft or certificate or other document which does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit other than as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the LC Bank;

(vii) the solvency of, or any acts or omissions by, any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit, or any other Person (other than the LC Bank) having a role in any transaction or obligation relating to a Letter of Credit, or the existence, nature, quality, quantity, condition, value or other characteristic of any property or services relating to a Letter of Credit;

(viii) any failure by the LC Bank or any of the LC Bank’s Affiliates to issue any Letter of Credit in the form requested by the Seller, unless the LC Bank has received written notice from the Seller of such failure within three Business Days after the LC Bank shall have furnished the Seller a copy of such Letter of Credit and such error is material and no drawing has been made thereon prior to receipt of such notice;

(ix) any Material Adverse Effect on the Seller, any Originator or any Affiliates thereof;

(x) any breach of this Agreement or any Transaction Document by any party thereto;

(xi) the occurrence or continuance of an Insolvency Proceeding with respect to the Seller, any Originator or any Affiliate thereof (other than a Permitted Holder);

(xii) the fact that a Termination Event or an Unmatured Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing;

(xiii) the fact that this Agreement or the obligations of Seller or Servicer hereunder shall have been terminated; and

(xiv) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

Section 1.18 Indemnity. In addition to other amounts payable hereunder, the Seller hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and save harmless the Administrator, the LC Bank and any of the LC Bank’s Affiliates that have issued a Letter of Credit from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, taxes, penalties, interest, judgments, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including Attorney Costs) which the Administrator, the LC Bank or any of their respective Affiliates may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of the issuance of any Letter of Credit, except to the extent resulting from (a) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party to be indemnified as determined by a final judgment of a court of

competent jurisdiction or (b) the wrongful dishonor by the LC Bank of a proper demand for payment made under any Letter of Credit, except if such dishonor resulted from any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto Governmental Authority (all such acts or omissions herein called “Governmental Acts”).

Section 1.19 Liability for Acts and Omissions. As between the Seller, on the one hand, and the Administrator, the LC Bank and the other Purchasers, on the other, the Seller assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, none of the Administrator, the LC Bank or any other Purchaser shall be responsible for: (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for an issuance of any such Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged (even if the LC Bank shall have been notified thereof); (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) the failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit, or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred, to comply fully with any conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit or any other claim of the Seller against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, or any such transferee, or any dispute between or among the Seller and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any such transferee; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Administrator, the LC Bank and any Conduit Purchaser, including any Governmental Acts, and none of the above shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of, any of the LC Bank’s rights or powers hereunder. Nothing in Sections 1.17, 1.18 or 1.19 of this Agreement shall relieve the LC Bank from liability for its gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, in connection with actions or omissions described in such Sections. In no event shall the Administrator, the LC Bank, any Conduit Purchaser or their respective Affiliates, be liable to the Seller or any other Person for any indirect, consequential, incidental, punitive, exemplary or special damages or expenses (including without limitation Attorney Costs), or for any damages resulting from any change in the value of any property relating to a Letter of Credit.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrator, the LC Bank and any Conduit Purchaser and each of their respective Affiliates (i) may rely on any written communication believed in good faith by such Person to have been authorized or given by or on behalf of the applicant for a Letter of Credit; (ii) may honor any presentation if the documents presented appear on their face to comply with the terms and conditions of the relevant Letter of Credit; (iii) may honor a previously dishonored presentation under a Letter of Credit where such dishonor is the subject of disagreement, dispute or litigation, whether such dishonor was pursuant to a court order, to settle or compromise any claim of wrongful dishonor, or otherwise, and shall be entitled to reimbursement to the same extent as if such presentation had initially

been honored, together with any interest paid by the LC Bank or its Affiliates; (iv) may honor any drawing that is payable upon presentation of a statement advising negotiation or payment, upon receipt of such statement (even if such statement indicates that a draft or other document is being delivered separately), and shall not be liable for any failure of any such draft or other document to arrive, or to conform in any way with the relevant Letter of Credit; (v) may pay any paying or negotiating bank claiming that it rightfully honored under the laws or practices of the place where such bank is located; and (vi) may settle or adjust any claim or demand made on the Administrator, the LC Bank, any Conduit Purchaser or their respective Affiliates, in any way related to any order issued at the applicant’s request to an air carrier, a letter of guarantee or of indemnity issued to a carrier or any similar document (each an “Order”) and may honor any drawing in connection with any Letter of Credit that is the subject of such Order, notwithstanding that any drafts or other documents presented in connection with such Letter of Credit fail to conform in any way with such Letter of Credit.

In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions set forth above, any action taken or omitted by the LC Bank under or in connection with the Letters of Credit issued by it or any documents and certificates delivered thereunder, if taken or omitted in good faith and without gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, shall not put the LC Bank under any resulting liability to the Seller or any other Person.

Section 1.20 Extension of Termination Date. The Seller may advise the Administrator and each Purchaser Agent in writing of its desire to extend the Facility Termination Date, provided such request is made not more than 90 days prior to, and not less than 60 days prior to, the then current Facility Termination Date. In the event that the Purchaser Agents are all agreeable to such extension, the Administrator shall so notify the Seller in writing (it being understood that the Purchaser Agents may accept or decline such a request in their sole discretion and on such terms as they may elect) not less than 30 days prior to the then current Facility Termination Date and the Seller, the Administrator, the Purchaser Agents and the Purchasers shall enter into such documents as the Purchasers may deem necessary or appropriate to reflect such extension, and all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Purchasers, the Administrator and the Purchaser Agents in connection therewith (including reasonable Attorney Costs) shall be paid by the Seller. In the event the Purchaser Agents decline the request for such extension, the Administrator shall so notify the Seller of such determination; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrator to notify the Seller of the determination to decline such extension shall not affect the understanding and agreement that the Purchaser Agents shall be deemed to have refused to grant the requested extension in the event the Administrator fails to affirmatively notify the Seller, in writing, of their agreement to accept the requested extension.

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 3.1 Indemnities by the Seller. Without limiting any other rights that any Purchaser Agent, Purchaser, Liquidity Provider, the Administrator or any Program Support Provider or any of their respective Affiliates, employees, officers, directors, agents, counsel, successors, transferees or assigns (each, an “Indemnified Party”) may have hereunder or under applicable law, the Seller hereby agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Party from and against any and all claims, damages, expenses, costs, losses, liabilities, penalties and Taxes (including Attorney Costs) (all of the foregoing being collectively referred to as “Indemnified Amounts”) arising out of or resulting from this Agreement (whether directly or indirectly), the use of proceeds of Purchases or reinvestments, the ownership of the Purchased Interest, or any interest therein, or in respect of any Receivable, Related Security or Contract, excluding, however: (a) Indemnified Amounts to the extent resulting from gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Indemnified Party or its officers, directors, agents or counsel, (b) recourse with respect to any Receivable to the extent that such Receivable is uncollectible on account of the insolvency, bankruptcy or lack of credit worthiness of the related Obligor, or (c) any overall net income taxes or franchise taxes imposed on such Indemnified Party by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Indemnified Party is organized or otherwise is considered doing business (unless the Indemnified Party would not be considered doing business in such jurisdiction, but for having entered into, or engaged in the transactions in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document) or any political subdivision thereof. Without limiting or being limited by the foregoing, and subject to the exclusions set forth in the preceding sentence, the

ARTICLE IV

ADMINISTRATION AND COLLECTIONS

Section 4.1 Appointment of the Servicer.

(a) The servicing, administering and collection of the Pool Receivables shall be conducted by the Person so designated from time to time as the Servicer in accordance with this Section. Until the Administrator gives notice to Greetings (in

accordance with this Section 4.1) of the designation of a new Servicer, Greetings is hereby designated as, and hereby agrees to perform the duties and obligations of, the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof. Upon the occurrence of a Termination Event, the Administrator may (with the consent of the Majority Purchaser Agents) or shall (at the direction of the Majority Purchaser Agents) designate as Servicer any Person (including itself) to succeed Greetings or any successor Servicer, on the condition in each case that any such Person so designated shall agree to perform the duties and obligations of the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof.

(b) Upon the designation of a successor Servicer as set forth in clause (a), Greetings agrees that it will terminate its activities as Servicer hereunder in a manner that the Administrator determines will facilitate the transition of the performance of such activities to the new Servicer, and Greetings shall cooperate with and assist such new Servicer. Such cooperation shall include access to and transfer of related records (including all Contracts) and use by the new Servicer of all licenses, hardware or software necessary or desirable to collect the Pool Receivables and the Related Security.

(c) Greetings acknowledges that, in making their decision to execute and deliver this Agreement, the Administrator and each Purchaser Group have relied on Greetings’ agreement to act as Servicer hereunder. Accordingly, Greetings agrees that it will not voluntarily resign as Servicer without the consent of the Majority Purchaser Agents.

(d) The Servicer may delegate its duties and obligations hereunder to any subservicer (each a “Sub-Servicer”); provided, that, in each such delegation: (i) such Sub-Servicer shall agree in writing to perform the duties and obligations of the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof, (ii) the Servicer shall remain primarily liable for the performance of the duties and obligations so delegated, (iii) the Seller, the Administrator and each Purchaser Group shall have the right to look solely to the Servicer for performance, and (iv) the terms of any agreement with any Sub-Servicer shall provide that the Administrator may terminate such agreement upon the termination of the Servicer hereunder by giving notice of its desire to terminate such agreement to the Servicer (and the Servicer shall provide appropriate notice to each such Sub-Servicer); provided, however, that if any such delegation is to any Person other than an Originator or an Affiliate thereof, the Administrator and the Majority Purchaser Agents shall have consented in writing in advance to such delegation; provided further that the parties agree that AGSC and each Originator shall serve as initial Sub-Servicers.

Section 4.2 Duties of the Servicer.

(a) The Servicer shall take or cause to be taken all such action as may be necessary or advisable to administer and collect each Pool Receivable from time to time, all in accordance with this Agreement and all applicable laws, rules and regulations, with reasonable care and diligence, and in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policies. The Servicer shall set aside, for the account of each Purchaser Group, the amount of the Collections to which each such Purchaser Group is entitled in accordance with Article I. The Servicer may, in accordance with the applicable Credit and

Collection Policy, take such action as the Servicer may determine to be appropriate to maximize Collections thereof or reflect adjustments required under the applicable Contract; provided, however, that: (i) such action shall not change the number of days such Pool Receivable has remained unpaid from the date of the original due date related to such Pool Receivable and (ii) such action shall not alter the status of such Pool Receivable as a Delinquent Receivable or a Defaulted Receivable or limit the rights of the Administrator or any Purchaser Group under this Agreement. The Seller shall deliver to the Servicer and the Servicer shall hold for the benefit of the Seller and the Administrator (individually and for the benefit of each Purchaser Group), in accordance with their respective interests, all records and documents (including computer tapes or disks) with respect to each Pool Receivable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Administrator may direct the Servicer (whether the Servicer is Greetings, AGSC, any Originator or any other Person) to commence or settle any legal action to enforce collection of any Pool Receivable or to foreclose upon or repossess any Related Security; provided, however, that no such direction may be given unless either: (A) a Termination Event has occurred or (B) the Administrator believes in good faith that failure to commence, settle or effect such legal action, foreclosure or repossession could adversely affect Receivables constituting a material portion of the Pool Receivables.

(b) The Servicer shall, as soon as practicable following actual receipt of collected funds, turn over to the Seller the collections of any indebtedness that is not a Pool Receivable, less, if Greetings, AGSC, any Originator or an Affiliate thereof is not the Servicer, all reasonable and appropriate out-of-pocket costs and expenses of such Servicer of servicing, collecting and administering such collections. The Servicer, if other than Greetings, AGSC, any Originator or an Affiliate thereof, shall, as soon as practicable upon demand, deliver to the Seller all records in its possession that evidence or relate to any indebtedness that is not a Pool Receivable, and copies of records in its possession that evidence or relate to any indebtedness that is a Pool Receivable.

(c) The Servicer’s obligations hereunder shall terminate on the later of: (i) the Facility Termination Date, (ii) the date on which no Investment of or Discount in respect of the Purchased Interest shall be outstanding, (iii) the date on which an amount equal to 100% of the LC Amount has been deposited in the LC Collateral Account and (iv) the date on which all amounts required to be paid to the Purchaser Agents, each Purchaser, the Administrator and any other Indemnified Party or Affected Person hereunder shall have been paid in full.

After such termination, if Greetings, AGSC, any Originator or an Affiliate thereof was not the Servicer on the date of such termination, the Servicer shall promptly deliver to the Seller all books, records and related materials that the Seller previously provided to the Servicer, or that have been obtained by the Servicer, in connection with this Agreement.

Section 4.3 Lock-Box Account Arrangements. On the Closing Date, the Seller shall have entered into Lock-Box Agreements with all of the Lock-Box Banks and delivered original counterparts of each to the Administrator and each Purchaser Agent. Upon the occurrence of a Termination Event, the Administrator may (with the consent of the Majority Purchaser Agents)

or shall (upon the direction of the Majority Purchaser Agents) at any time thereafter give notice to each Lock-Box Bank that the Administrator is exercising its rights under the Lock-Box Agreements to do any or all of the following: (a) to have the exclusive ownership and control of the Lock-Box Accounts transferred to the Administrator (for the benefit of the Purchasers) and to exercise exclusive dominion and control over the funds deposited therein, (b) to have the proceeds that are sent to the respective Lock-Box Accounts redirected pursuant to the Administrator’s instructions rather than deposited in the applicable Lock-Box Account, and (c) to take any or all other actions permitted under the applicable Lock-Box Agreement. The Seller hereby agrees that if the Administrator at any time takes any action set forth in the preceding sentence, the Administrator shall have exclusive control (for the benefit of the Purchasers) of the proceeds (including Collections) of all Pool Receivables and the Seller hereby further agrees to take any other action that the Administrator or any Purchaser Agent may reasonably request to transfer such control. Any proceeds of Pool Receivables received by the Seller or the Servicer thereafter shall be sent immediately to the Administrator. The parties hereto hereby acknowledge that if at any time the Administrator takes control of any Lock-Box Account, the Administrator shall not have any rights to the funds therein in excess of the unpaid amounts due to the Administrator, the Purchaser Groups, any Indemnified Party or any other Person hereunder, and the Administrator shall distribute or cause to be distributed such funds in accordance with Section 4.2(b) and Article I (in each case as if such funds were held by the Servicer thereunder).

Section 4.4 Enforcement Rights.

(a) At any time following the occurrence of a Termination Event:

(i) the Administrator may (with the consent or at the direction of the Majority Purchaser Agents) direct the Obligors that payment of all amounts payable under any Pool Receivable is to be made directly to the Administrator or its designee,

(ii) the Administrator may (with the consent or at the direction of the Majority Purchaser Agents) instruct the Seller or the Servicer to give notice of the Purchaser Groups’ interest in Pool Receivables to each Obligor, which notice shall direct that payments be made directly to the Administrator or its designee (on behalf of such Purchaser Groups), and the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, shall give such notice at the expense of the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be; provided, that if the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, fails to so notify each Obligor, the Administrator (at the Seller’s or the Servicer’s, as the case may be, expense) may so notify the Obligors, and

(iii) the Administrator may (with the consent or at the direction of the Majority Purchaser Agents) request the Servicer to, and upon such request the Servicer shall: (A) assemble all of the records necessary or desirable to collect the Pool Receivables and the Related Security, and transfer or license to a successor Servicer the use of all software necessary or desirable to collect the Pool Receivables and the Related Security, and make the same available to the Administrator or its designee (for the benefit of the Purchasers) at a place selected

by the Administrator, and (B) segregate all cash, checks and other instruments received by it from time to time constituting Collections in a manner acceptable to the Administrator and, promptly upon receipt, remit all such cash, checks and instruments, duly endorsed or with duly executed instruments of transfer, to the Administrator or its designee.

(b) The Seller hereby authorizes the Administrator (on behalf of each Purchaser Group), and irrevocably appoints the Administrator as its attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution and with full authority in the place and stead of the Seller, which appointment is coupled with an interest, to take any and all steps in the name of the Seller and on behalf of the Seller necessary or desirable, in the determination of the Administrator, after the occurrence of a Termination Event, to collect any and all amounts or portions thereof due under any and all Pool Assets, including endorsing the name of the Seller on checks and other instruments representing Collections and enforcing such Pool Assets. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this subsection, none of the powers conferred upon such attorney-in-fact pursuant to the preceding sentence shall subject such attorney-in-fact to any liability if any action taken by it shall prove to be inadequate or invalid, nor shall they confer any obligations upon such attorney-in-fact in any manner whatsoever.

Section 4.5 Responsibilities of the Seller.

(a) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Seller shall: (i) perform all of its obligations, if any, under the Contracts related to the Pool Receivables to the same extent as if interests in such Pool Receivables had not been transferred hereunder, and the exercise by the Administrator, the Purchaser Agents or the Purchasers of their respective rights hereunder shall not relieve the Seller from such obligations, and (ii) pay when due any taxes, including any sales taxes payable in connection with the Pool Receivables and their creation and satisfaction. The Administrator, the Purchaser Agents or any of the Purchasers shall not have any obligation or liability with respect to any Pool Asset, nor shall any of them be obligated to perform any of the obligations of the Seller, Servicer, Greetings, AGSC or the Originators thereunder.

(b) Greetings hereby irrevocably agrees that if at any time it shall cease to be the Servicer hereunder, it shall act, and shall cause any former or current Sub-Servicers to act, (if the then-current Servicer so requests) as the data-processing agent of the Servicer and, in such capacity, Greetings shall conduct, and shall cause the former or current Sub-Servicers to conduct, the data-processing functions of the administration of the Pool Receivables and the Collections thereon in substantially the same way that Greetings conducted such data-processing functions while it acted as the Servicer.

Section 4.6 Servicing Fee.

(a) Subject to clause (b), the Servicer shall be paid a fee (the “Servicing Fee”) equal to the lesser of (i) 1.00% per annum on the daily average aggregate Outstanding Balance of the Pool Receivables and (ii) 110% of the aggregate reasonable

costs and expenses incurred by Servicer in connection with the performance of its obligations as Servicer. The aggregate of each Purchaser Group’s Ratable Share of such fee shall be paid through the distributions contemplated by Section 1.4(d), and the Seller’s Share of such fee shall be paid by the Seller.

(b) If the Servicer ceases to be Greetings or an Affiliate thereof, the servicing fee shall be the greater of: (i) the amount calculated pursuant to clause (a), and (ii) an alternative amount specified by the successor Servicer not to exceed 110% of the aggregate reasonable costs and expenses incurred by such successor Servicer in connection with the performance of its obligations as Servicer.

In the event that the Administrator receives such a

notice, it shall promptly give notice thereof to each Purchaser Agent whereupon each such Purchaser Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to its Purchasers. In the event that a Purchaser Agent receives such a notice (other than from the Administrator), it shall promptly give notice thereof to the Administrator.

disbursements of any kind whatsoever (including in connection with any investigative or threatened proceeding, whether or not the Administrator, the LC Bank or such Person shall be designated a party thereto) that may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrator, the LC Bank or such Person as a result of, or related to, any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents or the execution, delivery or performance of the Transaction Documents or any other document furnished in connection therewith (but excluding any such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, judgments, settlements, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting solely from the Administrator’s, the LC Bank’s or such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction); provided, that in the case of each Purchaser that is a commercial paper conduit, such indemnity shall be provided solely to the extent of amounts received by such Purchaser under this Agreement which exceed the amounts required to repay such Purchaser’s outstanding Notes.

Upon such acceptance of its appointment as Administrator hereunder by a successor Administrator, such successor Administrator shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights and duties of the retiring Administrator, and the retiring Administrator shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Transaction Documents. After any retiring Administrator’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of Sections 3.1 and 3.2 and this Article V shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrator.

All notices and other communications hereunder shall, unless otherwise stated herein, be in writing (which shall include facsimile communication) and be sent or delivered to each party hereto at its address set forth under its name on the signature pages hereof (or in any Assumption Agreement pursuant to which it became a party hereto) or at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other parties hereto. Notices and communications by facsimile shall be effective when sent (and shall be followed by hard copy sent by first class mail), and notices and communications sent by other means shall be effective when received.

Section 6.3 Successors and Assigns; Participations; Assignments.

(a) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Seller may not assign or transfer any of its rights or delegate any of its duties hereunder or under any Transaction Document without the prior consent of the Administrator and the Purchaser Agents.

(b) Participations. Any Purchaser may sell to one or more Persons (each a “Participant”) participating interests in the interests of such Purchaser hereunder;

provided, however, that no Purchaser shall grant any participation under which the Participant shall have rights to approve any amendment to or waiver of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. Such Purchaser shall remain solely responsible for performing its obligations hereunder, and the Seller, each Purchaser Agent and the Administrator shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Purchaser in connection with such Purchaser’s rights and obligations hereunder. A Purchaser shall not agree with a Participant to restrict such Purchaser’s right to agree to any amendment hereto, except amendments that require the consent of all Purchasers.

(c) Assignments by Certain Related Committed Purchasers. Any Related Committed Purchaser may assign to one or more Persons (each a “Purchasing Related Committed Purchaser”), reasonably acceptable to the related Purchaser Agent in its sole discretion, any portion of its Commitment pursuant to a supplement hereto, substantially in the form of Annex D with any changes as have been approved by the parties thereto (a “Transfer Supplement”), executed by each such Purchasing Related Committed Purchaser, such selling Related Committed Purchaser and such related Purchaser Agent. Any such assignment by a Related Committed Purchaser cannot be for an amount less than $10,000,000. Upon (i) the execution of the Transfer Supplement, (ii) delivery of an executed copy thereof to the Seller, such related Purchaser Agent and the Administrator and (iii) payment by the Purchasing Related Committed Purchaser to the selling Related Committed Purchaser of the agreed purchase price, such selling Related Committed Purchaser shall be released from its obligations hereunder to the extent of such assignment and such Purchasing Related Committed Purchaser shall for all purposes be a Related Committed Purchaser party hereto and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Related Committed Purchaser hereunder to the same extent as if it were an original party hereto. The amount of the Commitment of the selling Related Committed Purchaser allocable to such Purchasing Related Committed Purchaser shall be equal to the amount of the Commitment of the selling Related Committed Purchaser transferred regardless of the purchase price paid therefor. The Transfer Supplement shall be an amendment hereof only to the extent necessary to reflect the addition of such Purchasing Related Committed Purchaser as a “Related Committed Purchaser” and any resulting adjustment of the selling Related Committed Purchaser’s Commitment.

(d) Replaceable Related Committed Purchaser. If any Related Committed Purchaser (a “Replaceable Related Committed Purchaser”) shall (i) petition the Seller for any amounts under Section 1.7 or 1.8 or (ii) cease to have a short-term debt rating of “A-1” by Standard & Poor’s and “P-1” by ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ (if such a rating is required by the related Purchaser’s securitization program), the related Purchaser Agent or the Administrator may designate a replacement financial institution (a “Replacement Related Committed Purchaser”), to which such Replaceable Related Committed Purchaser shall, subject to its receipt of an amount equal to the aggregate outstanding principal balance of its Investment and accrued and unpaid Discount thereon (and, if applicable, its receipt (unless a later date for the remittance thereof shall be agreed upon by the Seller and such Replaceable Related Committed Purchaser) of all amounts claimed under Section 1.7 and/or 1.8), promptly assign all of its rights, obligations and Commitment hereunder, together with all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Purchased Interest allocable to it, to the Replacement Related Committed Purchaser

in accordance with Section 6.3(c), above. Once such assignment becomes effective, the Replacement Related Committed Purchaser shall be deemed to be a “Related Committed Purchaser” for all purposes hereof and such Replaceable Related Committed Purchaser shall cease to be a “Related Committed Purchaser” for all purposes hereof and shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder.

(e) Assignment by Conduit Purchasers. Each party hereto agrees and consents (i) to any Conduit Purchaser’s assignment, participation, grant of security interests in or other transfers of any portion of, or any of its beneficial interest in, the Purchased Interest (or portion thereof), including without limitation to any Liquidity Provider or to any collateral agent in connection with its commercial paper program and (ii) to the complete assignment by any Conduit Purchaser of all of its rights and obligations hereunder to any other Person, and upon such assignment such Conduit Purchaser shall be released from all obligations and duties, if any, hereunder; provided, however, that such Conduit Purchaser may not, without the prior consent of its Related Committed Purchasers, make any such transfer of its rights hereunder unless the assignee (i) is principally engaged in the purchase of assets similar to the assets being purchased hereunder, (ii) has as its Purchaser Agent the Purchaser Agent of the assigning Conduit Purchaser and (iii) issues commercial paper or other Notes with credit ratings substantially comparable to the ratings of the assigning Conduit Purchaser. Any assigning Conduit Purchaser shall deliver to any assignee a supplement hereto, substantially in the form of Annex D with any changes as have been approved by the parties thereto (also, a “Transfer Supplement”), duly executed by such Conduit Purchaser, assigning any portion of its interest in the Purchased Interest to its assignee. Such Conduit Purchaser shall promptly (i) notify each of the other parties hereto of such assignment and (ii) take all further action that the assignee reasonably requests in order to evidence the assignee’s right, title and interest in such interest in the Purchased Interest and to enable the assignee to exercise or enforce any rights of such Conduit Purchaser hereunder. Upon the assignment of any portion of its interest in the Purchased Interest, the assignee shall have all of the rights hereunder with respect to such interest (except that the Discount therefor shall thereafter accrue at the rate, determined with respect to the assigning Conduit Purchaser unless the Seller, the related Purchaser Agent and the assignee shall have agreed upon a different Discount).

(f) Opinions of Counsel. If required by the Administrator or the applicable Purchaser Agent or to maintain the ratings of any Conduit Purchaser, each Transfer Supplement must be accompanied by an opinion of counsel of the assignee as to such matters as the Administrator or such Purchaser Agent may reasonably request.

Section 6.4 Costs, Expenses and Taxes. In addition to the rights of indemnification granted under Section 3.1, the Seller agrees to pay on written demand (which demand shall be accompanied by documentation thereof in reasonable detail) all reasonable costs and expenses in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery and administration (including periodic internal audits by the Administrator of Pool Receivables) of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the other documents and agreements to be delivered hereunder (and all reasonable costs and expenses in connection with any amendment, waiver or modification of any thereof), including: (i) Attorney Costs for the Administrator, each Purchaser Group and their

respective Affiliates and agents with respect thereto, as the case may be, and with respect to advising the Administrator, each Purchaser Group or their respective Affiliates and agents as to their rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, and (ii) all reasonable costs and expenses (including Attorney Costs), if any, of the Administrator, each Purchaser Group or their respective Affiliates and agents, as the case may be, in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

(a) In addition, the Seller shall pay on written demand any and all stamp and other taxes and fees payable in connection with the execution, delivery, filing and recording of this Agreement or the other documents or agreements to be delivered hereunder, and agrees to save each Indemnified Party harmless from and against any liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay in paying or omission to pay such taxes and fees.

Section 6.5 No Proceedings; Limitation on Payments.

(a) Each of the Seller, Greetings, the Servicer, the Administrator, the Purchaser Agents, the Purchasers, each assignee of the Purchased Interest or any interest therein, and each Person that enters into a commitment to purchase the Purchased Interest or interests therein, hereby covenants and agrees that it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, any Conduit Purchaser any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding, or other proceeding under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and one day after the latest maturing Note issued by such Conduit Purchaser is paid in full. The provision of this Section 6.5 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding any provisions contained in this Agreement to the contrary, no Conduit Purchaser shall be obligated to pay any amount, if any, payable by it pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document unless (i) it has received funds which may be used to make such payment and which funds are not required to repay the Notes when due and (ii) after giving effect to such payment, either (x) it could issue Notes to refinance all outstanding Notes (assuming such outstanding Notes matured at such time) in accordance with the program documents governing its securitization program or (y) all Notes are paid in full. Any amount which a Conduit Purchaser does not pay pursuant to the operation of the preceding sentence shall not constitute a claim (as defined in §101 of the Bankruptcy Code) against or company obligation of the applicable Conduit Purchaser for any such insufficiency unless and until the applicable Conduit Purchaser satisfies the provisions of clauses (i) and (ii) above. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

Section 6.6 Confidentiality.

(a) Unless otherwise required by applicable law, each of the Seller and the Servicer agrees to maintain the confidentiality of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (and all drafts thereof) in communications with third parties and otherwise; provided, that this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents may be

disclosed: (i) to third parties to the extent such disclosure is made pursuant to a written agreement of confidentiality in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrator and each Purchaser Agent, (ii) to the Seller’s legal counsel, accountants and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such documents and be instructed to keep such documents confidential), (iii) in connection with any legal proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or the preservation or maintenance of that party’s rights hereunder or thereunder, (iv) if required to do so by a court of competent jurisdiction whether in pursuance of any procedure for discovering documents or otherwise, (v) pursuant to any law in accordance with which that party is required or accustomed to act (including applicable SEC requirements), (vi) to any Governmental Authority and (vii) to any Person in connection with any credit agreement or other financing transaction. The restrictions in the preceding sentence shall not apply to disclosures to any party to this Agreement by any other party hereto, information already known to a recipient otherwise than in breach of this Section, information also received from another source on terms not requiring it to be kept confidential, or information that is or becomes publicly available otherwise than in breach of this Section.

(b) Each of the Administrator, each Purchaser Agent, the LC Bank and each Purchaser agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information, except that Confidential Information may be disclosed (i) to its Affiliates and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, auditors, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Confidential Information and be instructed to keep such Confidential Information confidential), (ii) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority or required by applicable laws or regulations (including applicable SEC requirements) or by any subpoena or similar legal process, provided that unless specifically prohibited by applicable law, regulation or court order, each of the Administrator, each Purchaser Agent, the LC Bank and each Purchaser, as applicable, shall make reasonable efforts to notify Greetings of any such request or requirement prior to disclosure of such information (other than any request in connection with any examination of the financial condition or other routine examination of the Administrator, the LC Bank, such Purchaser Agent or such Purchaser by such Governmental Authority), (iii) to any other party to this Agreement, (iv) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to any assignee of or participant in, or any prospective assignee of or participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, (v) with the consent of Greetings, (vi) to (A) third parties to the extent such disclosure is made pursuant to a written agreement of confidentiality in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Greetings, (B) if applicable, the rating agencies rating the Notes of the applicable Conduit Purchaser (it being understood that the Person making such disclosure shall give Greetings prompt notice thereof and the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Confidential Information and be instructed to keep such Confidential Information confidential), (C) any Program Support Provider or potential Program Support Provider (it being understood that the Person making such disclosure shall give Greetings prompt notice thereof and the Persons to whom such disclosure is

made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Confidential Information and be instructed to keep such Confidential Information confidential), (D) any placement agency placing the Notes (it being understood that the Person making such disclosure shall give Greetings prompt notice thereof and the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Confidential Information and be instructed to keep such Confidential Information confidential) and (E) any regulatory authorities or Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrator, any Purchaser, any Program Support Provider or any Liquidity Provider, (vii) to the extent such Confidential Information (A) is or becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section, or (B) becomes available to the Administrator, any Purchaser Agent, any Purchaser or the LC Bank on a non-confidential basis from a source other than Greetings, the Seller or any Originator and (viii) not otherwise in violation of this Section.

(c) As used in this Section, “Confidential Information” shall mean all information received from Greetings, any of its Subsidiaries or The Hatchery LLC relating to such Person or its business, other than any such information that is available to the Administrator, the LC Bank, any Purchaser Agent or any Purchaser on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by such Person; provided, however, that, in the case of information received from such Person after the Closing Date, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential.

(d) Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Confidential Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. The Seller, the Servicer, AGSC and each Originator hereby agree that the failure of the Administrator, the LC Bank, any Purchaser Agent or any Purchaser to comply with the provisions of this Section shall not relieve the Seller, Greetings, AGSC or any Originator of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents.

Section 6.7 GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION.

(a) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A CONTRACT MADE UNDER AND GOVERNED BY THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (INCLUDING FOR SUCH PURPOSE SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK) EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT THE VALIDITY OR PERFECTION OF A SECURITY INTEREST OR REMEDIES HEREUNDER, IN RESPECT OF ANY PARTICULAR COLLATERAL ARE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF A JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

(b) ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK; AND, BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH

OF THE PARTIES HERETO CONSENTS, FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THOSE COURTS. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY OBJECTION, INCLUDING ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON THE GROUNDS OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN SUCH JURISDICTION IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENT RELATED HERETO. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF ANY SUMMONS, COMPLAINT OR OTHER PROCESS, WHICH SERVICE MAY BE MADE BY ANY OTHER MEANS PERMITTED BY NEW YORK LAW.

Section 6.8 Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of 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 6.9 Survival of Termination. The provisions of Sections 1.7, 1.8, 3.1, 3.2, 6.4, 6.5, 6.7, 6.10 and 6.15 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

Section 6.10 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVES THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR OTHER LITIGATION OF ANY TYPE BROUGHT BY ANY OF THE PARTIES AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY OR PARTIES, WHETHER WITH RESPECT TO CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS OR OTHERWISE. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE TRIED BY A COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO FURTHER AGREES THAT ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IS WAIVED BY OPERATION OF THIS SECTION AS TO ANY ACTION, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER PROCEEDING THAT SEEKS, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, TO CHALLENGE THE VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY PROVISION HEREOF. THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT.

Section 6.11 Sharing of Recoveries. Each Purchaser (other than the LC Bank) agrees that if it receives any recovery, through set-off, judicial action or otherwise, on any amount payable or recoverable hereunder in a greater proportion than should have been received hereunder or otherwise inconsistent with the provisions hereof, then the recipient of such recovery shall purchase for cash an interest in amounts owing to the other Purchasers (as return of Investment or otherwise), without representation or warranty except for the representation and warranty that such interest is being sold by each such other Purchaser free and clear of any Adverse Claim created or granted by such other Purchaser, in the amount necessary to create proportional participation by the Purchaser in such recovery. If all or any portion of such

amount is thereafter recovered from the recipient, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

Section 6.12 Right of Setoff. During a Termination Event, each Purchaser is hereby authorized (in addition to any other rights it may have) to setoff, appropriate and apply (without presentment, demand, protest or other notice which are hereby expressly waived) any deposits and any other indebtedness held or owing by such Purchaser (including by any branches or agencies of such Purchaser) to, or for the account of, the Seller against amounts owing by the Seller hereunder (even if contingent or unmatured).

Section 6.13 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents embody the entire agreement and understanding between the parties hereto, and supersede all prior or contemporaneous agreements and understandings of such Persons, verbal or written, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

Section 6.14 Headings. The captions and headings of this Agreement and any Exhibit, Schedule or Annex hereto are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the interpretation hereof or thereof.

Section 6.15 Purchaser Groups’ Liabilities. The obligations of each Purchaser Agent and each Purchaser under the Transaction Documents are solely the corporate obligations of such Person. Except with respect to any claim arising out of the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Administrator, any Purchaser Agent or any Purchaser, no claim may be made by the Seller or the Servicer or any other Person against the Administrator, any Purchaser Agent or any Purchaser 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 the Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith; and each of Seller and Servicer hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to ▇▇▇ upon any claim for any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

Section 6.16 Call Option. The Seller shall have the right to repurchase the Purchased Interest from the Purchasers on any Settlement Date on the terms hereinafter set forth in this Section 6.16. The Seller shall give the Administrator at least ten Business Days’ prior written notice of such repurchase and upon payment of the repurchase price for the Purchased Interest, as hereinafter provided, the Purchasers shall be deemed to have reconveyed the Purchased Interest to the Seller without recourse, representation or warranty except for a representation from each Purchaser that the Purchased Interest assigned is (or concurrently with the Administrator’s receipt of such repurchase price shall become) free of any Adverse Claim created by such Purchaser. The Seller shall pay such repurchase price for the Purchased Interest in immediately available funds to the Administrator (for the benefit of the Purchasers or the Administrator, as the case may be) in an amount equal to the sum of (i) the aggregate of the Aggregate Discount accrued for each Portion of Investment for each Purchaser accrued to and including the repurchase date, (ii) the Aggregate Investment for each Purchaser, (iii) the amounts payable pursuant to Sections 1.5, 1.7 and 1.8, or Article III (of which the Seller has notice) related to the Purchased Interest accrued to and including the repurchase date, (iv) all other

obligations that are then due and payable and (v) if Greetings is not the Servicer, the Servicing Fee allocated to the Purchased Interest that has accrued to and including the repurchase date.

Each of the Seller and Greetings hereby acknowledges that the Purchasers, the Purchaser Agents, the Administrator and the Liquidity Providers are entering into the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents in reliance upon the Seller’s and AGSC’s identity as a legal entity separate from Greetings and its Affiliates. Therefore, from and after the date hereof, each of the Seller and Greetings shall take all steps specifically required by the Agreement or reasonably required by the Administrator to continue the Seller’s and AGSC’s identity as separate legal entities and to make it apparent to third Persons that each of the Seller and AGSC is an entity with assets and liabilities distinct from those of Greetings and any other Person, and is not a division of Greetings, its Affiliates or any other Person. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and in addition to and consistent with the other covenants set forth herein, each of the Seller and Greetings shall take such actions as shall be required in order that:

(a) The Seller will be a limited purpose corporation whose primary activities are restricted in its certificate of incorporation to: (i) purchasing or otherwise acquiring from the Originators, owning, holding, granting security interests or selling interests in Pool Assets, (ii) entering into agreements for the selling and servicing of the Receivables Pool, and (iii) conducting such other activities as it deems necessary or appropriate to carry out its primary activities;

(b) Seller shall not engage in any business or activity, or incur any indebtedness or liability, other than as set forth in clause (a) above or as otherwise expressly permitted by the Transaction Documents;

Exh. IV - 9

(c) Not less than one member of the Seller’s Board of Directors (the “Independent Director”) shall be an individual who is not a direct, indirect or beneficial stockholder, officer, director, employee, affiliate, associate or supplier of Greetings or any of its Affiliates. The certificate of incorporation of the Seller shall provide that: (i) the Seller’s Board of Directors shall not approve, or take any other action to cause the filing of, a voluntary bankruptcy petition with respect to the Seller unless the Independent Director shall approve the taking of such action in writing before the taking of such action, and (ii) such provision cannot be amended without the prior written consent of the Independent Director;

(d) The Independent Director shall not at any time serve as a trustee in bankruptcy for the Seller, Greetings or any Affiliate thereof;

(e) Any employee, consultant or agent of the Seller or AGSC will be compensated from the Seller’s or AGSC’s funds (as appropriate) for services provided to the Seller or AGSC. Seller will not engage any agents other than its attorneys, auditors and other professionals and a servicer and any other agent contemplated by the Transaction Documents for the Receivables Pool, which servicer will be fully compensated for its services by payment of the Servicing Fee;

(f) The Seller will contract with the Servicer to perform for the Seller all operations required on a daily basis to service the Receivables Pool. The Seller will pay the Servicer the Servicing Fee pursuant to the Agreement. The Seller will not incur any material indirect or overhead expenses for items shared with Greetings (or any other Affiliate thereof) that are not reflected in the Servicing Fee. To the extent, if any, that the Seller or AGSC (or any Affiliate thereof) shares items of expenses not reflected in the Servicing Fee, such as legal, auditing and other professional services, such expenses will be allocated to the extent practical on the basis of actual use or the value of services rendered, and otherwise on a basis reasonably related to the actual use or the value of services rendered; it being understood that Greetings shall pay all expenses relating to the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents, including legal, agency and other fees;

(g) Neither the Seller’s nor AGSC’s operating expenses will be paid by Greetings or any other Affiliate thereof;

(h) All of the Seller’s and AGSC’s business correspondence and other communications shall be conducted in their respective names and on their own separate stationery;

(i) The Seller’s and AGSC’s books and records will be maintained separately from those of Greetings and any other Affiliate thereof;

(j) All financial statements of Greetings or any Affiliate thereof that are consolidated to include Seller or AGSC will contain detailed notes clearly stating that: (i) each is a special purpose corporation and a Subsidiary of Greetings, and (ii) the

Exh. IV - 10

Originators have sold Receivables and other related assets to Seller and Seller has sold undivided interests therein to certain financial institutions and other entities;

(k) The Seller’s and AGSC’s assets will be maintained in a manner that facilitates their identification and segregation from those of Greetings or any Affiliate thereof;

(l) Each of the Seller and AGSC will strictly observe corporate formalities in its dealings with Greetings or any Affiliate thereof, and funds or other assets of the Seller will not be commingled with those of Greetings or any Affiliate thereof except as permitted by the Agreement in connection with servicing the Pool Receivables. The Seller shall not maintain joint bank accounts or other depository accounts to which Greetings and/or any Affiliate thereof (other than Greetings in its capacity as the Servicer and any permitted Sub-Servicer) has independent access. Neither the Seller nor AGSC has been named, nor has entered into any agreement to be named, directly or indirectly, as a direct or contingent beneficiary or loss payee on any insurance policy with respect to any loss relating to the property of Greetings or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate of Greetings. The Seller will pay to the appropriate Affiliate their respective share of the marginal increase or, in the absence of such increase, the market amount of their respective share of the portion of the premium payable with respect to any insurance policy that covers the Seller and such Affiliate;

(m) The Seller and AGSC will maintain arm’s-length relationships with Greetings (and any Affiliate thereof). Any Person that renders or otherwise furnishes services to the Seller and/or AGSC will be compensated by the Seller or AGSC (as appropriate) at market rates for such services it renders or otherwise furnishes to the Seller or AGSC (as appropriate). Neither the Seller or AGSC, on the one hand, nor Greetings, on the other hand, will be or will hold itself out to be responsible for the debts of the other or the decisions or actions respecting the daily business and affairs of the other. The Seller, AGSC and Greetings will immediately correct any known misrepresentation with respect to the foregoing, and they will not operate or purport to operate as an integrated single economic unit with respect to each other or in their dealing with any other entity; and

(n) Greetings shall not pay the salaries of Seller’s or AGSC’s employees, if any, for services rendered by such employees exclusively for the Seller.
