Reports and financial statements required to be delivered pursuant to clauses (i), (ii) and (iv) of this Section 5.01(m) shall be deemed to have been delivered on the date on which EDS posts such reports, or reports containing such financial statements, on EDS’ website on the Internet at ▇▇▇.▇▇▇.▇▇▇ or when such reports, or reports containing such financial statements, are posted on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website at ▇▇▇.▇▇▇.▇▇▇; provided, that EDS shall deliver to the Purchaser paper copies of the reports and financial statements referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iv) of this Section 5.01(m), if the Purchaser requests EDS to deliver such paper copies, until written notice to cease delivering such paper copies is given by the Purchaser.

(n) Separate Conduct of Business. The Seller will: (i) maintain separate records and books of account from those of the Purchaser; (ii) conduct its business from an office separate from that of the Purchaser (but which may be located in the same facility as the Purchaser); (iii) ensure that all oral and written communications, including without limitation, letters, invoices, purchase orders, contracts, statements and applications, will be made solely in its own name; (iv) have stationery and other business forms and a mailing address and a telephone number separate from those of the Purchaser; (v) not hold itself out as

having agreed to pay, or as being liable for, the obligations of the Purchaser; (vi) not engage in any transaction with the Purchaser except as contemplated by this Agreement or as permitted by the Sale Agreement; (vii) continuously maintain as official records the resolutions, agreements and other instruments underlying the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and (viii) disclose on its annual financial statements (A) the effects of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and (B) that the assets of the Purchaser are not available to pay its creditors.

SECTION 5.02 Grant of Security Interest. To secure all obligations of the Seller arising in connection with this Agreement, and each other agreement entered into in connection with this Agreement, whether now or hereafter existing, due or to become due, direct or indirect, or absolute or contingent, including, without limitation, Indemnified Amounts, payments on account of Collections received or deemed to be received, and any other amounts due the Purchaser hereunder, the Seller hereby assigns and grants to Purchaser a security interest in all of the Seller’s right, title and interest now or hereafter existing in, to and under all Receivables which do not constitute Transferred Receivables, the Related Security and all Collections with regard thereto and, to the extent not included in the foregoing, all proceeds of any and all of the foregoing.

SECTION 5.03 Covenant of the Seller and the Purchaser. The Seller and the Purchaser have structured this Agreement with the intention that each Purchase of Receivables hereunder be treated as a sale of such Receivables by the Seller to the Purchaser for all purposes and each contribution of Receivables hereunder shall be treated as an absolute transfer of such Receivables by the Seller to the Purchaser for all purposes (except that, in accordance with applicable tax principles, each Purchase and contribution may be disregarded for tax purposes). The Seller and the Purchaser intend each transfer of the Transferred Receivables and the Related Security pursuant to this Agreement to be a true sale or a true conveyance by means of a contribution, as the case may be, by the Seller to the Purchaser, which is and will be absolute and irrevocable and that provides the Purchaser with the full benefits and risks of ownership of the Transferred Receivables and the Related Security. Neither the Seller nor the Purchaser intends the sales and contributions by the Seller to the Purchaser contemplated under this Agreement to be, or to be

characterized for any purpose as, a secured or unsecured loan from the Purchaser to the Seller. Nor is it the parties’ intention that the conveyance of the Transferred Receivables and Related Security, any related rights and other property related thereto be deemed a grant of a security interest in the Transferred Receivables and Related Security by the Seller to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement as a sale or contribution, as the case may be, of those Transferred Receivables and the Related Security on their separate books and records. Although as a result of generally accepted accounting principles, for financial reporting purposes, the assets, liabilities, results of operations and cash flows of the Purchaser will be consolidated with those of EDS and its other consolidated subsidiaries in the consolidated financial statements of EDS and its consolidated subsidiaries and, as a result, the consolidated financial statements of EDS and its consolidated subsidiaries will continue to reflect the Transferred Receivables and the Related Security on the balance sheet of those consolidated financial statements, if the consolidation of the Purchaser with EDS and its other consolidated subsidiaries were not required by generally accepted accounting principles for financial reporting purposes, the Seller and the Purchaser acknowledge that such consolidated financial statements of EDS and its consolidated subsidiaries would not reflect the Transferred Receivables and the Related Security as assets on the consolidated balance sheet of EDS and its consolidated subsidiaries as a result of the sale or contribution of those Transferred Receivables and the Related Security by the Seller to the Purchaser. In the event that, contrary to the mutual intent of the Seller and the Purchaser, any Purchase or contribution of Receivables hereunder is not characterized as a sale or absolute transfer, the Seller shall, effective as of the date hereof, be deemed to have granted (and the Seller hereby does grant) to the Purchaser a first priority security interest in and to any and all Receivables, the Related Security and the proceeds thereof to secure the repayment of all amounts advanced to the Seller hereunder with accrued interest thereon, and this Agreement shall be deemed to be a security agreement.

ARTICLE VI

ADMINISTRATION AND COLLECTION

SECTION 6.01 Designation of Collection Agent. The servicing, administration and collection of the Transferred Receivables shall be conducted by such Person (the “Collection

Agent”) so designated hereunder from time to time. Until the Purchaser or its assignee gives notice to the Seller of the designation of a new Collection Agent, EIS is hereby designated as, and hereby agrees to perform the duties and obligations of, the Collection Agent pursuant to the terms hereof. EIS agrees that such notice may be given at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Termination or an Incipient Bankruptcy Event of Termination and so long as it shall continue, in the Purchaser’s or assignee’s discretion. Upon EIS’s receipt of such notice, the Seller agrees that it will terminate its activities as Collection Agent hereunder in a manner which the Purchaser (or its designee) believes will facilitate the transition of the performance of such activities to the new Collection Agent, and EIS shall use its best efforts to assist the Purchaser (or its designee) to take over the servicing, administration and collection of the Transferred Receivables, including, without limitation, providing access to and copies of all computer tapes or disks and other documents or instruments that evidence or relate to Transferred Receivables maintained in its capacity as Collection Agent; provided, however, that such documents or instruments (i) shall not include Contracts or any part or abstract thereof or any confidential information of the Seller or any of its Affiliates, but (ii) shall include sufficient information to enable the Purchaser or its designee or a replacement Collection Agent to administer, collect and enforce the Transferred Receivables. The Purchaser at any time after giving such notice may designate as Collection Agent any Person (including itself) to succeed EIS or any successor Collection Agent, if such Person shall consent and agree to the terms hereof. The Collection Agent may, with the prior consent of the Purchaser, subcontract with any other Person for the servicing, administration or collection of Transferred Receivables. Any such subcontract shall not affect the Collection Agent’s liability for performance of its duties and obligations pursuant to the terms hereof, and any such subcontract shall terminate upon designation of a successor Collection Agent.

SECTION 6.02 Duties of Collection Agent. (a) The Collection Agent shall take or cause to be taken all such actions as may be necessary or advisable to collect each Transferred Receivable from time to time, all in accordance with applicable laws, rules and regulations, with reasonable care and diligence, and in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy. The Purchaser hereby appoints the Collection Agent, from time to time designated pursuant to Section 6.01, as agent to enforce its ownership and other rights in the Transferred Receivables, the Related Security and the Collections with

respect thereto. In performing its duties as Collection Agent, the Collection Agent shall exercise the same care and apply the same policies as it would exercise and apply if it owned the Transferred Receivables and shall act in the best interests of the Purchaser and its assignees.

(b) On or prior to the tenth Business Day of each month, the Collection Agent shall prepare and forward to the Purchaser (i) a Seller Report, relating to all then outstanding Transferred Receivables, and the Related Security and Collections with respect thereto, in each case, as of the close of business of the Collection Agent on the last day of the immediately preceding month, and (ii) if requested by the Purchaser, a listing by Obligor of all Transferred Receivables, together with an aging report of such Transferred Receivables.

(c) If no Event of Termination or Incipient Event of Termination shall have occurred and be continuing, EIS, while it is the Collection Agent, may, in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy, extend the maturity or adjust the Outstanding Balance of any Transferred Receivable as EIS deems appropriate to maximize Collections thereof, or otherwise amend or modify other terms of any Transferred Receivable.

(d) The Seller shall deliver to the Collection Agent, and the Collection Agent shall hold in trust for the Seller and the Purchaser in accordance with their respective interests, all documents, instruments and records (including, without limitation, computer tapes or disks) which evidence or relate to Transferred Receivables; provided, however, that such documents or instruments to be held in trust (i) shall not include Contracts or any part or abstract thereof or any confidential information of the Seller or any of its Affiliates, but (ii) shall include sufficient information to enable the Purchase or its assignees or a replacement Collection Agent to administer, collect and enforce the Transferred Receivables.

(e) The Collection Agent shall, as soon as practicable following receipt (and, in the case of Third Party Payments, within one Business Day following receipt), turn over to the Seller any cash collections or other cash proceeds received with respect to Third Party Payments and any other Receivables not constituting Transferred Receivables, less, in the event the Seller is not the Collection Agent, all reasonable and appropriate out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Collection Agent of servicing, collecting and administering the Receivables to the extent not covered by the Collection Agent Fee received by it.

(f) The Collection Agent also shall perform the other obligations of the “Collection Agent” set forth in this Agreement with respect to the Transferred Receivables.

SECTION 6.03 Collection Agent Fee. The Purchaser shall pay to the Collection Agent, so long as it is acting as the Collection Agent hereunder, a periodic collection fee (the “Collection Agent Fee”) of 0.25% per annum on the average daily aggregate Outstanding Balance of the Transferred Receivables, payable on the twelfth Business Day of each month or such other day during each calendar month as the Purchaser and the Collection Agent shall agree.

SECTION 6.04 Certain Rights of the Purchaser. At any time following (i) the designation of a Collection Agent other than EIS pursuant to Section 6.01 or (ii) an Event of Termination or an Incipient Bankruptcy Event of Termination which is continuing:

(a) The Purchaser may give notice of ownership and/or direct the Obligors of Transferred Receivables and any Person obligated on any Related Security, or any of them, that payment of all amounts payable under any Transferred Receivable shall be made directly to the Purchaser or its designee. The Seller hereby agrees to the transfer by EPC to the Agent the exclusive ownership and control of the Lock-Box Accounts maintained by EPC for the purpose of receiving Collections.

(b) The Seller shall, upon the Purchaser’s request and at the Seller’s expense, give notice of the Purchaser’s ownership to each Obligor of Transferred Receivables and direct that payments of all amounts payable under the Transferred Receivables be made directly to the Purchaser or its designee.

(c) At the Purchaser’s request and at the Seller’s expense, the Seller and the Collection Agent shall (A) assemble all of the documents, instruments and other records (including, without limitation, computer tapes and disks) that evidence or relate to the Transferred Receivables and Related Security, or that are otherwise necessary or desirable to collect the Transferred Receivables, and shall make the same available to the Purchaser at a place selected by the Purchaser or its designee; provided, however, that such documents, instruments and other records (i) shall not include Contracts or any part or abstract thereof or any

confidential information of the Seller or its Affiliates, but (ii) shall include sufficient information to enable the Purchaser or its designee or a replacement Collection Agent to administer, collect and enforce the Transferred Receivables, and (B) segregate all cash, checks and other instruments received by it from time to time constituting Collections of Transferred Receivables in a manner acceptable to the Purchaser and, promptly upon receipt, remit all such cash, checks and instruments, duly indorsed or with duly executed instruments of transfer, to the Purchaser or its designee.

(d) The Seller authorizes the Purchaser to take any and all steps in the Seller’s name and on behalf of the Seller that are necessary or desirable, in the determination of the Purchaser, to collect amounts due under the Transferred Receivables, including, without limitation, endorsing the Seller’s name on checks and other instruments representing Collections of Transferred Receivables and enforcing the Transferred Receivables and the Related Security.

SECTION 6.05 Rights and Remedies. (a) If either the Seller or the Collection Agent fails to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement, the Purchaser may (but shall not be required to) itself perform, or cause performance of, such obligation, and, if the Seller (as Collection Agent or otherwise) fails to so perform, the reasonable costs and expenses of the Purchaser incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the Seller as provided in Section 8.01 or Section 9.04 as applicable.

(b) The Seller shall perform all of its obligations under the Contracts related to the Transferred Receivables to the same extent as if the Seller had not sold or contributed Receivables hereunder, and the exercise by the Purchaser of its rights hereunder shall not relieve the Seller from such obligations or its obligations with respect to the Transferred Receivables or related Contracts. The Purchaser shall not have any obligation or liability with respect to any Transferred Receivables or related Contracts, nor shall the Purchaser be obligated to perform any of the obligations of the Seller thereunder.

(c) The Seller shall cooperate with the Collection Agent in collecting amounts due from Obligors in respect of the Transferred Receivables.

(d) The Seller hereby grants to EIS, as the Collection Agent, and to a successor Collection Agent if an Event of Termination or an Incipient Bankruptcy Event of Termination has occurred and is continuing, an irrevocable power of attorney, with full power of substitution, coupled with an interest, to take in the name of the Seller all steps necessary or advisable to endorse, negotiate or otherwise realize on any writing or other right of any kind held or transmitted by the Seller or transmitted or received by Purchaser (whether or not from the Seller) in connection with any Transferred Receivable.

SECTION 6.06 Transfer of Records to Purchaser. (a) Each Purchase and contribution of Receivables hereunder shall include the transfer to the Purchaser of all of the Seller’s right and title to and interest in the records relating to such Receivables and in connection therewith, the Seller agrees to download from its computer system and distribute to Purchaser and its assignees all pertinent data and information in usable form as requested by the Purchaser or its assignees following an Event of Termination or Incipient Bankruptcy Event of Termination; provided, however, that records (i) shall not include Contracts or any part or abstract thereof or any confidential information of the Seller or its Affiliates, but (ii) shall include sufficient information to enable the Purchaser or its designee or a replacement Collection Agent to administer, collect and enforce the Transferred Receivables.

(b) The Seller shall take such action requested by the Purchaser, from time to time hereafter, that is necessary to ensure that the Purchaser has an enforceable ownership interest in the records described in Section 6.02(a) with the limitations provided therein relating to the Transferred Receivables.

(c) In recognition of the Seller’s need to have access to the records transferred to the Purchaser hereunder, the Purchaser hereby grants to the Seller the irrevocable right to download, prepare, review and use all pertinent data and information in usable form as requested by the Seller, contained in such records in connection with any activity arising in the ordinary course of the Seller’s business or in performance of its duties as Collection Agent, provided that (i) the Seller shall not disrupt or otherwise interfere with the Purchaser’s use of and access to such records during such period and (ii) the Seller consents to the assignment and delivery of the records described in Section 6.02(a) with the limitations provided therein, to any assignees or transferees of the Purchaser provided they agree to hold such records confidential.

(f) Any Purchase or contribution of Receivables hereunder or under the EDS Contribution Agreement, the Related Security and the Collections with respect thereto shall for any reason cease to constitute valid and perfected ownership of such Receivables, Related Security and Collections free and clear of any Adverse Claim (unless (i) such defect in creation, perfection or priority relates solely to specific Transferred Receivables in the aggregate amount of not more than $5,000,000 and (ii) the Seller either (A) cures such defect within two Business Days or (B) repurchases such Transferred Receivables pursuant to Section 2.04(b)); or

part of its property and, in the case of any such proceeding instituted against it (but not instituted by it), either such proceeding shall remain undismissed or unstayed for a period of 60 days, or any of the actions sought in such proceeding (including, without limitation, the entry of an order for relief against, or the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official for, it or for any substantial part of its property) shall occur; or the Seller, EDS or EPC shall take any corporate or limited liability company action to authorize any of the actions set forth above in this subsection (g); or

(h) An “Event of Termination” or “Facility Termination Date” shall have occurred under the Sale Agreement, or the Sale Agreement shall cease to be in full force and effect; or

(j) (i) EDS shall fail to make any payment required by the Undertaking (Originator) within five Business Days after it is due, or (ii) EDS shall fail to perform or observe any other term, covenant or agreement contained in the Undertaking (Originator) and such failure shall remain unremedied for 10 Business Days after written notice thereof shall have been given to the Seller by the Purchaser or its designee, or (iii) the Undertaking (Originator) shall be terminated, revoked or declared void or invalid or in any other manner ceases to exist; or

(k) A default shall occur under the EDS Contribution Agreement, or the EDS Contribution Agreement shall cease to be in full force and effect;

then, and in any such event, the Purchaser may, by notice to the Seller, take either or both of the following actions: (x) declare the Facility Termination Date to have occurred (in which case the Facility Termination Date shall be deemed to have occurred) and (y) without limiting any right under this Agreement to replace the Collection Agent, designate another Person to succeed EIS as Collection Agent; provided, that, automatically upon the occurrence of any event (without any requirement for the passage of time

or the giving of notice) described in paragraph (g) of this Section 7.01, the Facility Termination Date shall occur, EIS (if it is then serving as the Collection Agent) shall cease to be the Collection Agent, and the Purchaser (or its assigns or designees) shall become the Collection Agent. Upon any such declaration or designation or upon such automatic termination, the Purchaser shall have, in addition to the rights and remedies under this Agreement, all other rights and remedies with respect to the Receivables provided after default under the UCC and under other applicable law, which rights and remedies shall be cumulative.

ARTICLE VIII

INDEMNIFICATION

SECTION 8.01 Indemnities by the Seller. Without limiting any other rights which the Purchaser may have hereunder or under applicable law, the Seller hereby agrees to indemnify the Purchaser and its assigns and transferees or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or advisors (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all damages, claims, losses, liabilities and related costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, but excluding consequential damages incurred by an Indemnified Party (it being agreed that consequential damages payable by an Indemnified Party to a third party are not excluded)) (all of the foregoing being collectively referred to as “Indemnified Amounts”), awarded against or incurred by any Indemnified Party arising out of or as a result of this Agreement or the purchase or contribution of any Transferred Receivables or in respect of any Transferred Receivable, including, without limitation, arising out of or as a result of:

(i) the characterization in any Seller Report or other statement made by the Seller of any Transferred Receivable as an Eligible Receivable which is not an Eligible Receivable as of the date of such Seller Report or statement;

(ii) any representation or warranty or statement made or deemed made by the Seller (or any of its officers) under or in connection with this Agreement, which shall have been incorrect in any material respect when made;

(iii) the failure by the Seller to comply with any applicable law, rule or regulation with respect to any Transferred Receivable or the related Contract; or the failure of any Transferred Receivable or the related Contract to conform to any such applicable law, rule or regulation;

(iv) the failure to vest in the Purchaser absolute ownership of the Receivables that are, or that purport to be, the subject of a Purchase from the Seller or contribution by the Seller under this Agreement and the Related Security and Collections in respect thereof, free and clear of any Adverse Claim;

(v) the failure of the Seller to have filed, or any delay in filing, financing statements or other similar instruments or documents under the UCC of any applicable jurisdiction with respect to any Receivables that are, or that purport to be, the subject of a Purchase from the Seller or contribution by the Seller under this Agreement and the Related Security and Collections in respect thereof, whether at the time of any such Purchase or contribution or at any subsequent time;

(vi) any dispute, claim, offset or defense (including termination for convenience or default by a governmental Obligor, but not including discharge in bankruptcy of an Obligor) of or by the Obligor to the payment of any Receivable that is, or that purports to be, the subject of a Purchase from the Seller or contribution by the Seller under this Agreement (including, without limitation, a defense based on such Receivable or the related Contract not being a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Obligor enforceable against it in accordance with its terms), or any other claim resulting from the sale of the merchandise or services related to such Receivable or the furnishing or failure to furnish such merchandise or services or relating to collection activities with respect to such Receivable (if such collection activities were performed by the Seller acting as Collection Agent);

(vii) any failure of funds or revenues to be set aside or otherwise appropriated for payment of any U.S. Government Receivable arising out of an Approved Government Contract;

(viii) any failure to obtain any acknowledgment, authorization or approval under, or provide any notice required by, the Assignment of Claims Act with respect to any Approved Government Contract;

(xi) any products liability or other claim arising out of or in connection with merchandise or services which are the subject of any Contract;

(xii) the commingling of Collections of Transferred Receivables by the Seller or a designee of the Seller, as Collection Agent or otherwise, at any time with other funds of the Seller or an Affiliate of the Seller;

(xiii) any investigation, litigation or proceeding related to this Agreement or the use of proceeds of Purchases or the ownership of Receivables sold or contributed by it, the Related Security, or Collections with respect thereto or in respect of any Receivable, Related Security or Contract;

(xiv) any failure of the Seller to comply with its covenants contained in this Agreement;

(xv) any Collection Agent Fees or other costs and expenses payable to any replacement Collection Agent, to the extent in excess of the Collection Agent Fees payable to the Seller hereunder; or

(xvi) any claim brought by any Person other than an Indemnified Party arising from any activity by the Seller or any Affiliate of the Seller in servicing, administering or collecting any Transferred Receivable.

It is expressly agreed and understood by the parties hereto (i) that the foregoing indemnification is not intended to, and shall not, constitute a guarantee of the collectibility or payment of the Transferred Receivables and (ii) that nothing in this Section 8.01 shall require the Seller to indemnify any

Person (A) for Receivables which are not collected, not paid or uncollectible on account of the insolvency, bankruptcy, or financial inability to pay of the applicable Obligor, (B) for damages, losses, claims or liabilities or related costs or expenses to the extent found in a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, or (C) for any income taxes, franchise taxes or any other tax or fee measured by income, capital or the number of shares or other equity interests outstanding incurred by such Person arising out of or as a result of this Agreement or in respect of any Transferred Receivable or any Contract.

SECTION 8.02 Procedures When Litigation or Similar Proceedings Involved. (a) In case any suit, proceeding or action is brought or any claim is asserted against any Indemnified Party (and a claim for indemnification in respect thereof may be made by such Indemnified Party against the Seller under Section 8.01 hereof), such Indemnified Party shall promptly give notice of such suit, proceeding, action or claim of which it has notice to the Seller; provided, however, that failure of such Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Seller from any of its obligations under the indemnity herein, except to the extent such failure prejudices the defense of such suit, proceeding or action, or the contest of such claim, by the Seller.

(b) Following receipt by the Seller of any such notice from an Indemnified Party as provided in subsection (a) above, and provided that (i) the Seller shall have acknowledged in writing that, to the extent of the matters of any suit, proceeding, action or other claim for which the Seller wishes to assume the defense as set forth below, Section 8.01 will cover any judgment, settlement, loss, costs or expenses in any suit, proceeding, action or other claim referred to in such notice (provided such acknowledgment shall not be deemed to expand the Seller’s obligations under Section 8.01 hereof), (ii) no Event of Termination or Incipient Event of Termination has occurred and is continuing and (iii) such suit, proceeding, action or other claim does not involve any claim by the Seller against any Indemnified Party or any claim by an Indemnified Party against the Seller, then the Seller shall be entitled to assume control of and conduct the defense of any or

all of the matters involved in such suit, proceeding, action or other claim on behalf of such Indemnified Party at the Seller’s own cost and expense with independent counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, and if the Seller shall so assume the defense of any or all of the matters involved in such suit, proceeding, action or other claim, the Seller shall consult with the Agent and such Indemnified Party and shall conduct such defense with due diligence and at its own cost and expense. To the extent of the matters for which the Seller has so assumed the defense, any participation in such defense by the Agent or such Indemnified Party shall be at their sole cost and expense and not subject to indemnification hereunder. Except as otherwise provided in the preceding sentence, nothing in this subparagraph (b) is intended in any way to diminish the obligation of the Seller to pay promptly on demand the legal fees and expenses of any Indemnified Party.

(c) The Seller shall not be liable for any settlement of or confession of judgment in any action or proceeding without its consent provided that if an Event of Termination or Incipient Bankruptcy Event of Termination shall have occurred and be continuing, the Indemnified Party shall notify the Seller of any proposed settlement but shall not be required to obtain the Seller’s consent.

(d) The Seller, at its own cost and expense, agrees to assist, at the request of and to the extent reasonably required by the Agent or any Indemnified Party, in any suit, proceeding or other action brought by or against such Indemnified Party relating to any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the Receivables, Related Security or any related Contracts and as to which the Seller has any indemnification obligation; provided, that in rendering any such assistance, the Seller shall not be obligated to take any action or provide any information to any party if to do so would be reasonably likely to result in a loss of the attorney-client privilege.

DEFERRED PURCHASE PRICE NOTE

New York, New York

December , 200_

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, LEGACY RECEIVABLES LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Purchaser”), hereby promises to pay to EDS INFORMATION SYSTEMS L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (the “Seller”), the principal amount of this Note, determined as described below, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal at all times to 2.25% per annum above the Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the Sale Agreement) for periods of one month, in each case in lawful money of the United States of America. Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Purchase and Contribution Agreement dated as of December 27, 2002 between the Seller and the Purchaser (such agreement, as it may from time to time be amended, restated or otherwise modified in accordance with its terms, the “Purchase and Contribution Agreement”). This Note is the note referred to in the definition of “Deferred Purchase Price” in the Purchase and Contribution Agreement.

The aggregate principal amount of this Note at any time shall be equal to the difference between (a) the sum of the aggregate principal amount of this Note on the date of the issuance hereof and each addition to the principal amount of this Note pursuant to the terms of Section 2.02 of the Purchase and Contribution Agreement minus (b) the aggregate amount of all payments made in respect of the principal amount of this Note, in each case, as recorded on the schedule annexed to and constituting a part of this Note, but failure to so record shall not affect the obligations of the Purchaser to the Seller.

The entire principal amount of this Note shall be due and payable one year and one day after the Facility Termination Date or such later date as may be agreed in writing by the Seller and the Purchaser. The principal amount of this Note may, at the option of the Purchaser, be prepaid in whole at any time or in part from time to time. Interest on this Note shall be paid in arrears on each Settlement Date, at maturity and thereafter on demand. All payments hereunder shall be made by

C-1

wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account of the Seller as the Seller may designate in writing.

Notwithstanding any other provisions contained in this Note, in no event shall the rate of interest payable by the Purchaser under this Note exceed the highest rate of interest permissible under applicable law.

The obligations of the Purchaser under this Deferred Purchase Price Note are (a) subordinated in right of payment, to the extent set forth in Section 2.03(c) of the Purchase and Contribution Agreement, to the prior payment in full of all Capital, Yield, Fees and other obligations of the Purchaser under the Sale Agreement, and (b) do not constitute a claim against the Purchaser to the extent that the funds of the Purchaser are insufficient to make all payments required to be made by and fulfill all other obligations of the Purchaser under the Sale Agreement.

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Deferred Purchase Price Note or elsewhere, other than with respect to payments specifically permitted by Section 2.03(c) of the Purchase and Contribution Agreement, no demand for any payment may be made hereunder, no payment shall be due with respect hereto and the Seller shall have no claim for any payment hereunder prior to the occurrence of the Facility Termination Date and then only on the date, if ever, when all Capital, Yield, Fees and other obligations owing under the Sale Agreement shall have been paid in full.
