Upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, each Seller may, at its option, sell and assign Purchaser Interests to the Agent for the benefit of one or more of the Purchasers. In accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Company may, at its option, instruct the Agent to purchase on

fourth amended and restated
receivables purchase agreement

behalf of such Company, or if any Company shall decline to purchase, the Agent shall purchase, on behalf of such declining Company’s Related Financial Institutions, Purchaser Interests from time to time in an amount not to exceed in the aggregate for all Sellers at such time (i) in the case of each Company, its Company Purchase Limit and (ii) in the aggregate, the lesser of (A) the Purchase Limit and (B) the aggregate amount of the Commitments during the period from the date hereof to but not including the Facility Termination Date.

a The Administrative Seller may, upon at least 10 Business Days’ notice to the Agent, each Company and each Financial Institution, terminate in whole or reduce in part, ratably among the Financial Institutions, the unused portion of the Purchase Limit; provided that (i) any such notice shall be irrevocable, (ii) each partial reduction of the Purchase Limit shall be in an amount equal to $5,000,000 or an integral multiple thereof and (iii) the aggregate of the Company Purchase Limits for all of the Companies shall also be terminated in whole or reduced in part, ratably among the Companies, by an amount equal to such termination or reduction in the Purchase Limit.

2 Increases.

The Administrative Seller shall provide the Agent and each Purchaser with at least two Business Days’ prior notice in a form set forth as Exhibit II hereto of each Incremental Purchase (a “Purchase Notice”) to be made by a Seller. Each Purchase Notice shall be subject to Section 6.2 hereof and, except as set forth below, (i) shall be irrevocable and shall specify the requested Purchase Price (which, in the case of the initial Incremental Purchase hereunder shall not be less than $10,000,000 and in the case of subsequent Incremental Purchases shall not be less than $1,000,000), (ii) the date of purchase (which, in the case of Incremental Purchases after the initial Incremental Purchase hereunder, shall not exceed four per calendar month), (iii) in the case of an Incremental Purchase to be funded by any of the Financial Institutions, the requested Discount Rate and Tranche Period and (iv) in the case of an Incremental Purchase to be funded by the CL Company or by any Pool Company (other than an Incremental Purchase funded by such Pool Company substantially with Pooled Commercial Paper), the requested CP (Tranche) Accrual Period. Following receipt of a Purchase Notice, the Agent will promptly notify each Company of such Purchase Notice and the Agent will identify the Companies that agree to make the purchase. If any Company declines to make a proposed purchase, the Administrative Seller may cancel the Purchase Notice as to all Purchasers no

fourth amended and restated
receivables purchase agreement

later than 2:00 p.m. (Chicago time) on the Business Day immediately prior to the date of purchase specified in the Purchase Notice or, in the absence of such a cancellation, the Incremental Purchase of the Purchaser Interest, which such Company has declined to purchase, will be made by such declining Company’s Related Financial Institutions in accordance with the rest of this Section 1.2. If the proposed Incremental Purchase or any portion thereof is to be made by any of the Financial Institutions, the Agent shall send notice of the proposed Incremental Purchase to the applicable Financial Institutions concurrently by telecopier, telex or cable specifying (i) the date of such Incremental Purchase, which date must be at least one Business Day after such notice is received by the applicable Financial Institutions, (ii) each Financial Institution’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate Purchase Price of the Purchaser Interests the Financial Institutions in such Financial Institution’s Purchaser Group are then purchasing and (iii) the requested Discount Rate and Tranche Period. On the date of each Incremental Purchase, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article VI and the conditions set forth in this Section 1.2, the Companies and/or the Financial Institutions, as applicable, shall use their reasonable best efforts to deposit to the Facility Account, in immediately available funds, no later than 12:00 noon (Chicago time), and in any event no later than 2:00 pm (Chicago time), an amount equal to (i) in the case of a Company that has agreed to make such Incremental Purchase, such Company’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate Purchase Price of the Purchaser Interests of such Incremental Purchase or (ii) in the case of a Financial Institution, such Financial Institution’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate Purchase Price of the Purchaser Interests the Financial Institutions in such Financial Institution’s Purchaser Group are then purchasing. Each Financial Institution’s Commitment hereunder shall be limited to purchasing Purchaser Interests that the Company in such Financial Institution’s Purchaser Group has declined to purchase. Each Financial Institution’s obligation shall be several, such that the failure of any Financial Institution to make available to any Seller any funds in connection with any purchase shall not relieve any other Financial Institution of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make funds available on the date of such purchase, but no Financial Institution shall be responsible for the failure of any other Financial Institution to make funds available in connection with any purchase.

3 Decreases. The Administrative Seller shall provide the Agent with an irrevocable prior written notice in conformity with the Required Notice Period (a “Reduction Notice”) of any proposed reduction of Aggregate Capital from Collections and the Agent will promptly notify each Purchaser of such Reduction Notice after Agent’s receipt thereof. Such Reduction Notice shall designate (i) the date (the “Proposed Reduction Date”) upon which any such reduction of Aggregate

fourth amended and restated
receivables purchase agreement

Capital shall occur (which date shall give effect to the applicable Required Notice Period), and (ii) the amount of Aggregate Capital to be reduced that shall be applied ratably to the Purchaser Interests of the Companies and the Financial Institutions in accordance with the amount of Capital (if any) owing to the Companies (ratably to each Company, based on the ratio of such Company’s Capital at such time to the aggregate Capital of all the Companies at such time), on the one hand, and the amount of Capital (if any) owing to the Financial Institutions (ratably to each Financial Institution, based on the ratio of such Financial Institution’s Capital at such time to the aggregate Capital of all of the Financial Institutions at such time), on the other hand (the “Aggregate Reduction”). Only one (1) Reduction Notice shall be outstanding at any time. Concurrently with any reduction of Aggregate Capital pursuant to this Section, the Sellers shall pay to the applicable Purchaser all Broken Funding Costs arising as a result of such reduction. No Aggregate Reduction will be made following the occurrence of the Amortization Date without the prior written consent of the Agent.

4 Payment Requirements.

Notwithstanding any limitation on recourse contained in this Agreement, the Sellers shall immediately pay to the Agent or relevant Purchaser, as applicable, when due, for the account of the relevant Purchaser or Purchasers on a full recourse basis, (i) such fees as set forth in each Fee Letter (which fees collectively shall be sufficient to pay all fees owing to the Financial Institutions and other Funding Sources), (ii) all CP Costs, (iii) all amounts payable as Yield, (iv) all amounts payable as Deemed Collections (which shall be immediately due and payable by the Sellers and applied to reduce outstanding Aggregate Capital hereunder in accordance with Sections 2.2 and 2.3 hereof), (v) all amounts required pursuant to Section 2.6, (vi) all amounts payable pursuant to Article X, if any, (vii) all Servicer costs and expenses, including the Servicing Fee, in connection with servicing, administering and collecting the Receivables, (viii) all Broken Funding Costs (any request for reimbursement of which shall be accompanied by a certificate in reasonable detail demonstrating the reasonable calculation of ay such amount) and (ix) all Default Fees (collectively, the “Obligations”). If any Person fails to pay any of the Obligations (other than the Default Fee) when due, such Person agrees to pay, on demand, the Default Fee in respect thereof until paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of this Agreement or any Fee Letter shall require the payment or permit the collection of any amounts hereunder in excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law. If at any time any Seller receives any Collections or is deemed to receive any Collections, such Seller shall immediately pay such Collections or Deemed Collections to the applicable Servicer for application in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof and, at all times prior to such payment, such Collections or Deemed Collections shall be held in trust by such Seller for the exclusive benefit of the Purchasers and the Agent.

Prior to the Amortization Date, any Collections and/or Deemed Collections received by each Servicer shall be set aside and held in trust by such Servicer for the benefit of the Agent and the Purchasers for the payment of any accrued and unpaid Aggregate Unpaids or for a Reinvestment as provided in this Section 2.2. If at any time any Collections and/or Deemed Collections are received by any Servicer prior to the Amortization Date, (i) such Servicer shall set aside the Termination Percentage (hereinafter defined) of Collections and/or Deemed Collections evidenced by the Purchaser Interests of each Terminating Financial Institution and of each Company in a Terminating Financial Institution’s Purchaser Group, shall set aside Collections to be used to effect any Aggregate Reduction in accordance with Section 1.3 and shall set aside amounts

fourth amended and restated
receivables purchase agreement

necessary to pay Obligations due on the next succeeding Settlement Date and (ii) each Seller hereby requests and the Purchasers (other than any Terminating Financial Institutions and, to the extent applicable, any Company in a Terminating Financial Institution’s Purchaser Group) hereby agree to make, simultaneously with such receipt, a reinvestment (each a “Reinvestment”) with that portion of the balance of each and every Collection and Deemed Collection received by any Servicer that is part of any Purchaser Interest (other than any Purchaser Interests of Terminating Financial Institutions and, to the extent applicable, of any Company in a Terminating Financial Institution’s Purchaser Group), such that after giving effect to such Reinvestment, the amount of Capital of such Purchaser Interest immediately after such receipt and corresponding Reinvestment shall be equal to the amount of Capital immediately prior to such receipt (but giving effect to any ratable reduction thereof pursuant to application of an Aggregate Reduction). On each Settlement Date prior to the occurrence of the Amortization Date, the Servicers shall remit to the Agent’s or applicable Purchaser’s account the amounts set aside during the preceding Settlement Period that have not been subject to a Reinvestment and apply such amounts (if not previously paid in accordance with Section 2.1) first, to reduce unpaid CP Costs, Yield and other Obligations and second, to reduce the Capital of all Purchaser Interests of Terminating Financial Institutions and, to the extent applicable, of each Company in a Terminating Financial Institution’s Purchaser Group, applied ratably to such Terminating Financial Institution and each such Company according to its respective Termination Percentage. If such Capital, CP Costs, Yield and other Obligations shall be reduced to zero, any additional Collections received by any Servicer (i) if applicable, shall be remitted to the Agent’s or applicable Purchaser’s account to the extent required to fund any Aggregate Reduction on such Settlement Date and (ii) any balance remaining thereafter shall be remitted from such Servicer to the Sellers on such Settlement Date. Such Servicer shall use its reasonable best efforts to remit all deposit amounts in the Agent’s or applicable Purchaser’s account no later than 12:00 noon (Chicago time) on such Settlement Date. Any such amounts not received by Agent or the applicable Purchaser by 1:00 pm (Chicago time) shall be deemed to be received on the next succeeding Business Day. Each Terminating Financial Institution and each Company in such Terminating Financial Institution’s Purchaser Group shall be allocated a ratable portion of Collections from its Termination Date until, with respect to a Terminating Financial Institution, such Terminating Financial Institution’s Capital, if any, shall be paid in full and, with respect to a related Company (i) if any Related Financial Institution with respect to such Company continues to exist, the Capital of such Company is equal to the Company Purchase Limit (as reduced pursuant to Section 4.6(b)) of such Company or (ii) if there are no Related Financial Institutions with respect to such Company, the Capital of such Company shall be paid in full. The applicable ratable portion shall be calculated,

fourth amended and restated
receivables purchase agreement

with respect to any Terminating Financial Institution or applicable Company, on the Termination Date of each Terminating Financial Institution or applicable Company as a percentage equal to (i) the Capital of such Terminating Financial Institution or applicable Company outstanding on its Termination Date, divided by (ii) the Aggregate Capital outstanding on such Termination Date (the “Termination Percentage”). Each Terminating Financial Institution’s and applicable Company’s Termination Percentage shall remain constant prior to the Amortization Date. On and after the Amortization Date, each Termination Percentage shall be disregarded, and each Terminating Financial Institution’s and each applicable Company’s Capital shall be reduced ratably with all Financial Institutions and Companies in accordance with Section 2.3.

7 Collections Following Amortization. On the Amortization Date and on each day thereafter, the Servicers shall set aside and hold in trust, for the holder of each Purchaser Interest, all Collections received on such day and an additional amount for the payment of any accrued and unpaid Aggregate Unpaids owed by the Sellers and not previously paid by the Sellers in accordance with Section 2.1. On and after the Amortization Date, the Servicers shall, at any time upon the request from time to time by (or pursuant to standing instructions from) the Agent (i) remit to the Agent’s or applicable Purchaser’s account the amounts set aside pursuant to the preceding sentence, and (ii) apply such amounts to reduce the Capital associated with each such Purchaser Interest and any other Aggregate Unpaids.

8 Application of Collections. If there shall be insufficient funds on deposit for the Servicers to distribute funds in payment in full of the aforementioned amounts pursuant to Section 2.2 or 2.3 (as applicable), the Servicers shall distribute funds to the applicable payee:

first, to the payment of each Servicer’s reasonable actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection with servicing, administering and collecting the Receivables, including the Servicing Fee, provided no Seller nor any of its Affiliates is then acting as a Servicer,

second, to the reimbursement of the Agent’s and the Purchasers’ costs of collection and enforcement of this Agreement,

third, ratably to the payment of all accrued and unpaid fees under the Fee Letters, CP Costs and Yield,

fourth amended and restated
receivables purchase agreement

fourth, (to the extent applicable) to the ratable reduction of the Aggregate Capital (without regard to any Termination Percentage),

fifth, for the ratable payment of all other unpaid Obligations, provided that to the extent such Obligations relate to the payment of Servicer costs and expenses, including the Servicing Fee, when any Seller or any of its Affiliates is acting as a Servicer, such costs and expenses will not be paid until after the payment in full of all other Obligations, and

sixth, after the Aggregate Unpaids have been indefeasibly reduced to zero, to the Administrative Seller for ratable distribution to the Sellers.

Collections applied to the payment of Aggregate Unpaids shall be distributed in accordance with the aforementioned provisions, and, giving effect to each of the priorities set forth in Section 2.4 above, shall be shared ratably (within each priority) among the Agent and the Purchasers in accordance with the amount of such Aggregate Unpaids owing to each of them in respect of each such priority.

9 Payment Rescission. No payment of any of the Aggregate Unpaids shall be considered paid or applied hereunder to the extent that, at any time, all or any portion of such payment or application is rescinded by application of law or judicial authority, or must otherwise be returned or refunded for any reason. Each Seller shall remain obligated for the amount of any payment or application so rescinded, returned or refunded, and shall promptly pay to the Agent (for application to the Person or Persons who suffered such rescission, return or refund) the full amount thereof, plus the Default Fee from the date of any such rescission, return or refunding.

10 Maximum Purchaser Interests. Each Seller shall ensure that the Purchaser Interests of the Purchasers shall at no time exceed in the aggregate 100%. If the aggregate of the Purchaser Interests of the Purchasers exceeds 100%, the Sellers shall pay to the Purchasers (ratably based on the ratio of each Purchaser’s Capital at such time to the Aggregate Capital at such time) within one (1) Business Day an amount to be applied to reduce the Aggregate Capital, such that after giving effect to such payment the aggregate of the Purchaser Interests equals or is less than 100%.

fourth amended and restated
receivables purchase agreement

Clean Up Call. In addition to the Sellers’ rights pursuant to Section 1.3, the Sellers shall have the right, upon two Business Days’ prior written notice to the Agent and the Purchasers, at any time following the reduction of the Aggregate Capital to a level that is less than 20.0% of the original Purchase Limit hereunder, to repurchase from the Purchasers all, but not less than all, of the then outstanding Purchaser Interests. The purchase price in respect thereof shall be an amount equal to the Aggregate Unpaids (including any Broken Funding Costs arising as a result of such repurchase) through the date of such repurchase, payable in immediately available funds. Such repurchase shall be without representation, warranty or recourse of any kind by, on the part of, or against any Purchaser or the Agent.

COMPANY FUNDING

11 CP Costs. The Sellers shall pay CP Costs with respect to the Capital associated with each Purchaser Interest of the Companies for each day that any Capital in respect of any such Purchaser Interest is outstanding. Each Purchaser Interest of any Pool Company funded substantially with Pooled Commercial Paper will accrue CP Costs each day on a pro rata basis, based upon the percentage share the Capital in respect of such Purchaser Interest represents in relation to all assets held by the applicable Pool Company and funded substantially with Pooled Commercial Paper. Each Purchaser Interest of the CL Company and each Purchaser Interest of any Pool Company not funded substantially with Pooled Commercial Paper shall accrue CP Costs for each day during its CP (Tranche) Accrual Period at the rate determined in accordance with the definition of “Company Costs” set forth in Exhibit I.

12 CP Costs Payments. On each Settlement Date relating to a CP (Tranche) Accrual Period, the Sellers shall pay to the applicable Company an aggregate amount equal to all accrued and unpaid CP Costs in respect of the Capital associated with all Purchaser Interests of such Company for the related CP (Tranche) Accrual Period in accordance with Article II.

Calculation of Pool Company Costs. On the third Business Day immediately preceding each Settlement Date relating to a CP (Pool) Accrual Period, each Pool Company shall calculate the aggregate amount of its Company Costs with respect to all Purchaser Interests funded substantially with Pooled Commercial Paper for the

fourth amended and restated
receivables purchase agreement

applicable CP (Pool) Accrual Period and shall notify the Administrative Seller of such aggregate amount of such Company Costs due and payable on such Settlement Date.

13 Selection and Calculation of CP (Tranche) Accrual Periods.

a In the case of Purchaser Interests of each Pool Company, the Administrative Seller shall (and following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Potential Amortization Event or an Amortization Event, shall with consultation from, and approval by, each Pool Company), from time to time request CP (Tranche) Accrual Periods for the Purchaser Interests of each Pool Company other than those funded substantially with Pooled Commercial Paper, provided, that (i) the consent of the Agent and each Purchaser shall be required, (ii) the Administrative Seller must elect CP (Tranche) Accrual Periods for all Purchaser Interests of each Pool Company, such that after giving effect to such election, no Purchaser Interest of any Pool Company is funded with Pooled Commercial Paper and (iii) the Administrative Seller may only make such election once hereunder. In the case of Purchaser Interests of the CL Company, the Administrative Seller shall, with consultation from, and approval by, the CL Company (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), from time to time request CP (Tranche) Accrual Periods for the Purchaser Interests of the CL Company.

b The Administrative Seller or the applicable Company, upon notice to and consent by the other received at least three (3) Business Days prior to the end of a CP (Tranche) Accrual Period (the “Terminating CP Tranche”) for any Purchaser Interest, may, effective on the last day of the Terminating CP Tranche: (i) divide any such Purchaser Interest into multiple Purchaser Interests, (ii) combine any such Purchaser Interest with one or more other Purchaser Interests that have a Terminating CP Tranche ending on the same day as such Terminating CP Tranche or (iii) combine any such Purchaser Interest with a new Purchaser Interest (other than a Purchaser Interest funded substantially with Pooled Commercial Paper) to be purchased on the day such Terminating CP Tranche ends, provided, that in no event may a Purchaser Interest of any Purchasers be combined with a Purchaser Interest of any other Purchaser.

fourth amended and restated
receivables purchase agreement

c The Administrative Seller shall, at least three (3) Business Days prior to the expiration of any Terminating CP Tranche, give the applicable Company (or its agent) irrevocable notice of the new CP (Tranche) Accrual Period associated with such Terminating CP Tranche and the amount of Capital to be allocated to such new CP (Tranche) Accrual Period. The Administrative Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts to give such notice such that the applicable Company (or its agent) receives it no later than 12:00 noon (Chicago time) on the day such request is being made. Any such request not received by the applicable Company by 1:00 pm (Chicago time) shall be deemed to be received on the next succeeding Business Day.

FINANCIAL INSTITUTION FUNDING

14 Financial Institution Funding.

On the Settlement Date for each Purchaser Interest of the Financial Institutions, the Sellers shall pay to the applicable Financial Institutions an aggregate amount equal to the accrued and unpaid Yield for the entire Tranche Period of each such Purchaser Interest in accordance with Article II.

16 Selection and Continuation of Tranche Periods.

a In the case of Purchaser Interests of any Financial Institution in the Purchaser Group of the Bank One Company, the Administrative Seller shall (and following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Potential Amortization Event or an Amortization Event, shall with consultation from, and approval by, the applicable Financial Institution), from time to time request Tranche Periods for the Purchaser Interests of such Financial Institutions. In the case of Purchaser Interests of any Financial Institution in the Purchaser Group of any Company other than the Bank One Company, the Administrative Seller shall, with consultation from, and approval by, the applicable Financial Institution (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), from time to time request Tranche Periods for the Purchaser Interests of such Financial Institution. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this subsection (a), if at any time the Financial Institutions shall have a Purchaser Interest, the Administrative Seller shall always request Tranche Periods such that at least one Tranche Period shall end on the date specified in clause (A) of the definition of Settlement Date.

b The Administrative Seller or the applicable Financial Institution, upon notice to and consent by the other received at least three (3) Business Days prior to the end of a Tranche Period (the “Terminating Tranche”) for any Purchaser Interest, may, effective on the last day of the Terminating Tranche: (i) divide any such Purchaser Interest into multiple Purchaser Interests, (ii) combine any such Purchaser Interest with one or more other Purchaser Interests that have a Terminating Tranche ending on the same day as such Terminating Tranche or (iii) combine any such Purchaser Interest with a new Purchaser Interest to be purchased on the day such Terminating Tranche ends, provided, that in no event may a Purchaser Interest of any Purchasers be combined with a Purchaser Interest of any other Purchaser.

17 Financial Institution Discount Rates. The Administrative Seller may select the LIBO Rate or the Prime Rate for each Purchaser Interest of the Financial Institutions. The Administrative Seller shall: (i) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the expiration of any Terminating Tranche with respect to which the LIBO Rate is being requested as a new Discount Rate and (ii) at least one (1) Business Day prior to the expiration of any Terminating Tranche with respect to which the Prime Rate is being requested as a new Discount Rate, give the applicable Financial Institution irrevocable notice of the new Discount Rate for the Purchaser Interest associated with such Terminating Tranche. The Administrative Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts to give such notice such that the applicable Financial Institution receives it no later than 12:00 noon (Chicago time) on the day such request is being made. Any such request not received by the applicable Financial Institution by 1:00 pm (Chicago time) shall be deemed to be received on the next succeeding Business Day. Until the Administrative Seller gives notice to the applicable Financial Institution of another Discount Rate, the initial Discount Rate for any Purchaser Interest transferred to the Financial Institutions pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof (or transferred to, or funded by, any Funding Source pursuant to any Funding Agreement or to or by any other Person) shall be the Prime Rate.

18 Suspension of the LIBO Rate.

a If any Financial Institution notifies the Agent that it has determined that funding its Pro Rata Share of the Purchaser Interests of the Financial Institutions in such Financial Institution’s Purchaser Group at the LIBO Rate would violate any applicable law, rule, regulation or directive of any governmental or regulatory authority, whether or not having the force of law, or that (i) deposits of a type and maturity appropriate to match fund its Purchaser Interests at the LIBO Rate are not available or (ii) the LIBO Rate does not accurately reflect the cost of acquiring or maintaining a Purchaser Interest at the LIBO Rate, then the Agent shall suspend the availability of the LIBO Rate for the Financial Institutions in such Financial Institution’s Purchaser Group and require Seller to select the Prime Rate for any Purchaser Interest funded by the Financial Institutions in such Financial Institution’s Purchaser Group accruing Yield at the LIBO Rate.

b If less than all of the Financial Institutions in such Financial Institution’s Purchaser Group give a notice to the Agent pursuant to Section 4.5(a), each Financial Institution which gave such a notice shall be obliged, at the request of the Administrative Seller, the Company in such Financial Institution’s Purchaser Group or the Agent, to assign all of its rights and obligations hereunder to (i) another Financial Institution in such Financial Institution’s Purchaser Group or (ii) another funding entity nominated by the Administrative Seller or the Agent that is acceptable to the Company in such Financial Institution’s Purchaser Group and willing to participate in this Agreement through the Liquidity Termination Date in the place of such notifying Financial Institution; provided that (i) the notifying Financial Institution receives payment in full, pursuant to an Assignment Agreement, of an amount equal to such notifying Financial Institution’s Pro Rata Share of the Capital and Yield owing to all of the Financial Institutions in such Financial Institution’s Purchaser Group and all accrued but unpaid fees and other costs and expenses payable in respect of its Pro Rata Share of the Purchaser Interests of the Financial Institutions in such Financial Institution’s Purchaser Group, and (ii) the replacement Financial Institution otherwise satisfies the requirements of Section 12.1(b).

Extension of Liquidity Termination Date.

c The Administrative Seller may request one or more 364-day extensions of the Liquidity Termination Date then in effect by giving written notice of such request to the Agent (each such notice an “Extension Notice”) at least 60 days prior to the Liquidity Termination Date then in effect. After the Agent’s receipt of any Extension Notice, the Agent shall promptly advise each Financial Institution of such Extension Notice. Each Financial Institution may, in its sole discretion, by a written irrevocable notice (a “Consent Notice”) given to the Agent on or prior to the 30^th day prior to the Liquidity Termination Date then in effect (such period from the date of the Extension Notice to such 30^th day being referred to herein as the “Consent Period”), consent to such extension of such Liquidity Termination Date; provided, however, that such extension shall not be effective with respect to a Financial Institution if such Financial Institution: (i) notifies the Agent during the Consent Period that such Financial Institution does not wish to consent to such extension or (ii) fails to respond to the Agent within the Consent Period (each Financial Institution that does not wish to consent to such extension or fails to respond to the Agent within the Consent Period is herein referred to as a “Non-Renewing Financial Institution”). If at the end of the Consent Period, there is no Non-Renewing

fourth amended and restated
receivables purchase agreement

Financial Institution then, the Liquidity Termination Date shall be irrevocably extended until the date that is 364 days after the Liquidity Termination Date then in effect. If at the end of the Consent Period there is a Non-Renewing Financial Institution, then unless such Non-Renewing Financial Institution assigns its rights and obligations hereunder pursuant to Section 4.6(b) (each such Non-Renewing Financial Institution whose rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other applicable Transaction Documents are not so assigned is herein referred to as a “Terminating Financial Institution”), the then existing Liquidity Termination Date shall be extended for an additional 364 days with respect to all Financial Institutions other than the Terminating Financial Institution; provided, however, that (i) the Purchase Limit shall be reduced on the Termination Date applicable to each Terminating Financial Institution by an aggregate amount equal to the Terminating Commitment Availability of each Terminating Financial Institution and shall thereafter continue to be reduced by amounts equal to any reduction in the Capital of any Terminating Financial Institution (after application of Collections pursuant to Sections 2.2 and 2.3), (ii) the Company Purchase Limit of each Company shall be reduced by the aggregate amount of the Terminating Commitment Amount of each Terminating Financial Institution in such Company’s Purchaser Group and (iii) the Commitment of each Terminating Financial Institution shall be reduced to zero on the Termination Date applicable to such Terminating Financial Institution. Upon reduction to zero of the Capital of all of the Purchaser Interests of a Terminating Financial Institution (after application of Collections thereto pursuant to Sections 2.2 and 2.3) all rights and obligations of such Terminating Financial Institution hereunder shall be terminated and such Terminating Financial Institution shall no longer be a “Financial Institution”; provided, however, that the provisions of Article X shall continue in effect for its benefit with respect to Purchaser Interests held by such Terminating Financial Institution prior to its termination as a Financial Institution.

d Upon receipt of notice from the Agent pursuant to Section 4.6(a) of any Non-Renewing Financial Institution, one or more of the Financial Institutions (including any Non-Renewing Financial Institution) may proffer to the Agent and the Company in such Non-Renewing Financial Institution’s Purchaser Group the names of one or more institutions meeting the criteria set forth in Section 12.1(b)(i) that are willing to accept assignments of and assume the rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other applicable Transaction Documents of the Non-Renewing Financial Institution. Provided the proffered name(s) are acceptable to the Agent and the Company in such Non-Renewing Financial Institution’s Purchaser Group, the Agent shall notify

fourth amended and restated
receivables purchase agreement

the remaining Financial Institutions of such fact, and the then existing Liquidity Termination Date shall be extended for an additional 364 days upon satisfaction of the conditions for an assignment in accordance with Section 12.1, and the Commitment of each Non-Renewing Financial Institution shall be reduced to zero.

e Any requested extension may be approved or disapproved by a Financial Institution in its sole discretion. In the event that the Commitments are not extended in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.6, the Commitment of each Financial Institution shall be reduced to zero on the Liquidity Termination Date. Upon reduction to zero of the Commitment of a Financial Institution and upon reduction to zero of the Capital of all of the Purchaser Interests of such Financial Institution all rights and obligations of such Financial Institution hereunder shall be terminated and such Financial Institution shall no longer be a “Financial Institution”; provided, however, that the provisions of Article X shall continue in effect for its benefit with respect to Purchaser Interests held by such Financial Institution prior to its termination as a Financial Institution.

From and after the date the Agent delivers to any Collection Bank a Collection Notice pursuant to Section 8.3, the Agent may request that the Servicers, and the Servicers thereupon promptly shall instruct all Obligors with respect to the Receivables, to remit all payments thereon to a new depositary account specified by the Agent and, at all times thereafter, each Seller and the Servicers shall not deposit or otherwise credit, and shall not permit any other Person to deposit or otherwise credit to such new depositary account any cash or payment item other than Collections.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Amortization Event and until such time as the Aggregate Unpaids have been indefeasibly paid in full, the Agent shall have the absolute and unlimited right to direct the Servicers to commence or settle any legal action with respect to any Receivable or to foreclose upon or repossess any Related Security.

receivables purchase agreement

from acting, in accordance with a request of the Required Purchasers or all of the Purchasers, as applicable, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Purchasers.

Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Purchasers. Each Purchaser expressly acknowledges that neither the Agent, nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Agent hereafter taken, including, without limitation, any review of the affairs of any Seller Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Agent. Each Purchaser represents and warrants to the Agent that it has and will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Purchaser and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, prospects, financial and other conditions and creditworthiness of any Seller and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and all other documents related hereto or thereto.

Reimbursement and Indemnification. The Financial Institutions agree to reimburse and indemnify the Agent and its officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents, ratably based on the ratio of each Financial Institution’s Commitment to the aggregate Commitment, to the extent not paid or reimbursed by the Seller Parties (i) for any amounts for which the Agent, acting in its capacity as Agent, is entitled to reimbursement by the Seller Parties hereunder and (ii) for any other expenses incurred by the Agent, in its capacity as Agent and acting on behalf of the Purchasers, in connection with the administration and enforcement of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents; provided that the Agent shall not be entitled to any indemnity or reimbursement under this Section 11.6 for any expenses resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent, as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment rendered by a court of competent jurisdiction.

Agent in Its Individual Capacity . The Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Seller or any Affiliate of any Seller as though the Agent were not the Agent hereunder. With respect to the acquisition of Purchaser Interests pursuant to this Agreement,

fourth amended and restated
receivables purchase agreement

the Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement in its individual capacity as any Purchaser and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent, and the terms “Financial Institution,” “Related Financial Institution,” “Purchaser,” “Financial Institutions,” “Related Financial Institutions,” and “Purchasers” shall include the Agent in its individual capacity.

Successor Agent. The Agent may, upon five days’ notice to the Administrative Seller and the Purchasers, and the Agent will, upon the direction of all of the Purchasers (other than the Agent, in its individual capacity) resign as Agent. If the Agent shall resign, then the Required Purchasers during such five-day period shall appoint, with the consent of the Administrative Seller, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, from among the Purchasers a successor agent. If for any reason no successor Agent is appointed by the Required Purchasers during such five-day period, then effective upon the termination of such five day period, the Purchasers shall perform all of the duties of the Agent hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents and the Sellers and the Servicers (as applicable) shall make all payments in respect of the Aggregate Unpaids directly to the applicable Purchasers and for all purposes shall deal directly with the Purchasers. After the effectiveness of any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents and the provisions of this Article XI and Article X shall continue in effect for its benefit with respect to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement and under the other Transaction Documents.

ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATIONS

Assignments. (c) Each Seller Party, the Agent and each Purchaser hereby agree and consent to the complete or partial assignment by any Company of all or any portion of its rights under, interest in, title to and obligations under this Agreement to any Funding Source pursuant to any Funding Agreement or to any other Person, and upon such assignment, such Company shall be released from its obligations so assigned. Further, each Seller Party, the Agent and each Purchaser hereby agree that any assignee of any Company of this Agreement or of all or any of the Purchaser

fourth amended and restated
receivables purchase agreement

Interests of any Company shall have all of the rights and benefits under this Agreement as if the term “Company” explicitly referred to and included such party (provided that (i) the Purchaser Interests of any such assignee that is a Company or a commercial paper conduit shall accrue CP Costs based on such Company’s Company Costs or on such commercial paper conduit’s cost of funds, respectively, and (ii) the Purchaser Interests of any other such assignee shall accrue Yield pursuant to Section 4.1), and no such assignment shall in any way impair the rights and benefits of any Company hereunder. Neither any Seller nor any Servicer shall have the right to assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement.

Any Financial Institution may at any time and from time to time assign to one or more Persons (“Purchasing Financial Institutions”) all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to an assignment agreement, substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit VII hereto (the “Assignment Agreement”) executed by such Purchasing Financial Institution and such selling Financial Institution. The consent of the Company in such selling Financial Institution’s Purchaser Group and the consent of the Administrative Seller shall be required prior to the effectiveness of any such assignment; provided, however, that in the event the Administrative Seller fails to consent to any proposed Purchasing Financial Institution during the thirty (30) day period following the Administrative Seller’s initial receipt of a request for its consent to any such assignment, only the consent of the Company in such selling Financial Institution’s Purchaser Group shall thereafter be required with respect to any such assignment. Each assignee of a Financial Institution must (i) have a short-term debt rating of A-1 or better by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group and P-1 by ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Investor Service, Inc. and (ii) agree to deliver to the Agent, promptly following any request therefor by the Agent or the Company in such selling Financial Institution’s Purchaser Group, an enforceability opinion in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent and such Company (such opinion may be delivered by in-house counsel of such assignee). Upon delivery of the executed Assignment Agreement to the Agent, such selling Financial Institution shall be released from its obligations hereunder to the extent of such assignment. Thereafter the Purchasing Financial Institution shall for all purposes be a Financial Institution party to this Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Financial Institution (including, without limitation, the applicable obligations of a Related Financial Institution) under this Agreement to the same extent as if it were an original party hereto and no further consent or action by any Seller, the Purchasers or the Agent shall be required.

fourth amended and restated
receivables purchase agreement

Each of the Financial Institutions agrees that in the event that it shall cease to have a short-term debt rating of A-1 or better by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group and P-1 by ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Investor Service, Inc. (or, solely in the case of CLNY, a short-term debt rating of A-2 or better by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group and P-2 by ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Investor Service, Inc.) (an “Affected Financial Institution”), such Affected Financial Institution shall be obliged, at the request of the Company in such Affected Financial Institution’s Purchaser Group or the Agent, to assign all of its rights and obligations hereunder to (x) another Financial Institution in such Affected Financial Institution’s Purchaser Group or (y) another funding entity nominated by the Agent and acceptable to the Company in such Affected Financial Institution’s Purchaser Group, and willing to participate in this Agreement through the Liquidity Termination Date in the place of such Affected Financial Institution; provided that the Affected Financial Institution receives payment in full, pursuant to an Assignment Agreement, of an amount equal to such Financial Institution’s Pro Rata Share of the Aggregate Capital and Yield owing to the Financial Institutions in such Affected Financial Institution’s Purchaser Group and all accrued but unpaid fees and other costs and expenses payable in respect of its Pro Rata Share of the Purchaser Interests of the Financial Institutions in such Affected Financial Institution’s Purchaser Group.

Participations. Any Financial Institution may, in the ordinary course of its business at any time sell to one or more Persons (each a “Participant”) participating interests in its Pro Rata Share of the Purchaser Interests of the Financial Institutions in such Financial Institution’s Purchaser Group or any other interest of such Financial Institution hereunder. Notwithstanding any such sale by a Financial Institution of a participating interest to a Participant, such Financial Institution’s rights and obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Financial Institution shall remain solely responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and each Seller, each Company and the Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Financial Institution in connection with such Financial Institution’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Each Financial Institution agrees that any agreement between such Financial Institution and any such Participant in respect of such participating interest shall not restrict such Financial Institution’s right to agree to any amendment, supplement, waiver or modification to this Agreement, except for any amendment, supplement, waiver or modification described in Section 14.1(b)(i).

MISCELLANEOUS

Waivers and Amendments. (d) No failure or delay on the part of the Agent or any Purchaser in exercising any power, right or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or remedy preclude any other further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power, right or remedy. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and nonexclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

defined term used directly or indirectly in such defined term) used in clauses (A) through (G) above in a manner that would circumvent the intention of the restrictions set forth in such clauses; or

without the written consent of the then Agent, amend, modify or waive any provision of this Agreement if the effect thereof is to affect the rights or duties of such Agent.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) without the consent of the Financial Institutions, but with the consent of the Administrative Seller, the Agent may amend this Agreement solely to add additional Persons as Financial Institutions hereunder and (ii) the Agent, the Required Purchasers and each Company may enter into amendments to modify any of the terms or provisions of Article XI, Article XII, Section 14.13 or any other provision of this Agreement without the consent of any Seller Party, provided that such amendment has no negative impact upon such Seller Party and provided further that the Rating Agencies then rating the commercial paper notes of the Rabo Company and the CL Company shall have confirmed that the ratings of the commercial paper notes of the Rabo Company and the CL Company will not be downgraded or withdrawn as a result of such amendments. Any modification or waiver made in accordance with this Section 14.1 shall apply to each of the Purchasers equally and shall be binding upon each Seller Party, the Purchasers and the Agent.

Notices. Except as provided in this Section 14.2, all communications and notices provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including bank wire, telecopy or electronic facsimile transmission or similar writing) and shall be given to the other parties hereto at their respective addresses or telecopy numbers set forth on Schedule E hereto or at such other address or telecopy number as such Person may hereafter specify for the purpose of notice to each of the other parties hereto.

Each Seller hereby authorizes the Agent and the Purchasers to effect purchases and, selections of CP (Tranche) Accrual Periods, Tranche Periods and Discount Rates based on telephonic notices made by any Person whom the Agent or applicable Purchaser in good faith believes to be acting on behalf of such Seller. Each Seller agrees to deliver promptly to the Agent and each applicable Purchaser a written confirmation of each telephonic notice signed by an authorized officer of such Seller; provided, however, the absence of such confirmation shall not affect the validity of such notice. If the written confirmation differs from the action taken by

fourth amended and restated
receivables purchase agreement

the Agent or applicable Purchaser, the records of the Agent or applicable Purchaser shall govern absent manifest error.

Ratable Payments. If any Purchaser, whether by setoff or otherwise, has payment made to it with respect to any portion of the Aggregate Unpaids owing to such Purchaser (other than payments received pursuant to Section 10.2 or 10.3) in a greater proportion than that received by any other Purchaser entitled to receive a ratable share of such Aggregate Unpaids, such Purchaser agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase for cash without recourse or warranty a portion of such Aggregate Unpaids held by the other Purchasers so that after such purchase each Purchaser will hold its ratable proportion of such Aggregate Unpaids; provided that if all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from such Purchaser, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

Protection of Ownership Interests of the Purchasers. (e) Each Seller agrees that from time to time, at its expense, it will promptly execute and deliver all instruments and documents, and take all actions, that may be necessary or reasonably desirable, or that the Agent may request, to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the Purchaser Interests, or to enable the Agent or the Purchasers to exercise and enforce their rights and remedies hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, each Seller will, upon the request of the Agent or the Required Purchasers, execute and file such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto or assignments thereof, and such other instruments and documents, that may be necessary or desirable, or that the Agent may reasonably request, to perfect, protect or evidence such Purchaser Interests. At any time after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Amortization Event, the Agent may, or the Agent may direct any Seller or any Servicer to, notify the Obligors of Receivables, at the Sellers’ expense, of the ownership or security interests of the Purchasers under this Agreement and may also direct that payments of all amounts due or that become due under any or all Receivables be made directly to the Agent or its designee. The Sellers or the Servicers (as applicable) shall, at any Purchaser’s request, withhold the identity of such Purchaser in any such notification.

If any Seller Party fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder, the Agent or any Purchaser may (but shall not be required to) perform, or cause performance of, such obligations, and the Agent’s or such Purchaser’s costs and

fourth amended and restated
receivables purchase agreement

expenses incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the Sellers as provided in Section 10.3. Each Seller Party irrevocably authorizes the Agent at any time and from time to time in the sole discretion of the Agent, and appoints the Agent as its attorney-in-fact, to act on behalf of such Seller Party (i) to execute on behalf of any Seller as debtor and to file financing or continuation statements (and amendments thereto and assignments thereof) necessary or desirable in the Agent’s sole discretion to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the interest of the Purchasers in the Receivables and (ii) to file a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement with respect to the Receivables as a financing statement in such offices as the Agent in its sole discretion deems necessary or desirable to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the interests of the Purchasers in the Receivables. The financing statements described in this Section14.4(b) may describe the collateral in the same manner as described herein or may contain an indication or description of collateral that describes such property in any other manner as the Agent may determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, is necessary, advisable or prudent to ensure the perfection and priority of the interests of the Purchasers in the Receivables, the Related Security and the Collections, and of the security interest granted hereunder, including, without limitation, describing such property as “all assets” or “all personal property” or “all assets, whether now owned or hereafter acquired” or “all personal property of the debtor, whether now owned or hereafter acquired”.This appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable. The authorization set forth in the second sentence of this Section 14.4(b) is intended to meet all requirements for authorization by a debtor under Article 9 of any applicable enactment of the UCC, including, without limitation, Section 9-509 thereof.

Confidentiality. (f) Each Seller Party and each Purchaser shall maintain and shall cause each of its employees and officers to maintain the confidentiality of this Agreement and the other confidential or proprietary information with respect to the Agent and each Purchaser and their respective businesses obtained by it or them in connection with the structuring, negotiating and execution of the transactions contemplated herein, except that such Seller Party and such Purchaser and its officers and employees may disclose such information to such Seller Party’s and such Purchaser’s external accountants and attorneys and as required by any applicable law or order of any judicial or administrative proceeding.

In addition, the Purchasers and the Agent may disclose any such nonpublic information pursuant to any law, rule, regulation, direction, request or order of any judicial, administrative or regulatory authority or proceedings (whether or not having the force or effect of law).

Bankruptcy Petition. Each Seller, the Servicers, the Agent, each Financial Institution and each Company (except with respect to itself) hereby covenants and agrees that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding senior indebtedness of any Funding Source that is a special purpose bankruptcy remote entity or of any Company, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, any such entity or any Company any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or other similar proceeding under the laws of the United States or any state of the United States.

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

to the subject matter hereof and shall constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof superseding all prior oral or written understandings.

This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns (including any trustee in bankruptcy). This Agreement shall create and constitute the continuing obligations of the parties hereto in accordance with its terms and shall remain in full force and effect until terminated in accordance with its terms; provided, however, that the rights and remedies with respect to (i) any breach of any representation and warranty made by any Seller Party pursuant to Article V, (ii) the indemnification and payment provisions of Article X, and Sections 14.5 and 14.6 shall be continuing and shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

Counterparts; Severability; Section References. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement. Any provisions of this Agreement that are prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Unless otherwise expressly indicated, all references herein to “Article,” “Section,” “Schedule” or “Exhibit” shall mean articles and sections of, and schedules and exhibits to, this Agreement.

Characterization. (g) It is the intention of the parties hereto that each purchase hereunder shall constitute and be treated as an absolute and irrevocable sale, which purchase shall provide the applicable Purchaser with the full benefits of ownership of the applicable Purchaser Interest. Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, each sale of a Purchaser Interest hereunder is made without recourse to any Seller; provided, however, that (i) each Seller shall be liable to each Purchaser and the Agent for all representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities made by such Seller pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and (ii) such sale does not constitute and is not intended to result in an assumption by any Purchaser or the Agent or any assignee thereof of any obligation of any Seller or any Originator or any other Person arising in connection with the Receivables, the Related Security, or the related Writings or Contracts, or any other obligations of any Seller or any Originator.

In addition to any ownership interest that the Agent may from time to time acquire pursuant hereto, each Seller hereby grants to the Agent for the ratable benefit of the Purchasers a valid and perfected security interest in all of such Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under all Receivables now existing or hereafter arising, the Collections, each Lock-Box, each Collection Account, all Related Security, all other rights and payments relating to such Receivables, and all proceeds of any thereof prior to all other liens on and security interests therein to secure the prompt and complete payment of the Aggregate Unpaids.

Confirmation and Ratification of Terms.

Upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, each reference to the Original Agreement in any other Transaction Document, and any document, instrument or agreement executed and/or delivered in connection with the Original Agreement or any other Transaction Document, shall mean and be a reference to this Agreement.

The other Transaction Documents and all agreements, instruments and documents executed or delivered in connection with the Original Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall each be deemed to be amended to the extent necessary, if any, to give effect to the provisions of this Agreement, as the same may be amended, modified, supplemented or restated from time to time.

The effect of this Agreement is to amend and restate the Original Agreement in its entirety, and to the extent that any rights, benefits or provisions in favor of the Agent or any Purchaser existed in the Original Agreement and continue to exist in this Agreement without any written waiver of any such rights, benefits or provisions prior to the date hereof, then such rights, benefits or provisions are acknowledged to be and to continue to be effective from and after June 30, 2000. This Agreement is not a novation.

The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that any and all rights, remedies and payment provisions under the Original Agreement, including, without limitation, any and all rights, remedies and payment provisions with respect to (i) any representation and warranty made or deemed to be made pursuant to the Original Agreement, or (ii) any indemnification provision, shall continue and survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement.

fourth amended and restated
receivables purchase agreement

Agreement shall be owing as or for Capital, Yield, CP Costs, fees, expenses or otherwise, respectively, under or pursuant to this Agreement.

Excess Funds. Each of the Sellers, each Servicer, each Purchaser and the Agent agrees that any Company shall be liable for any claims that such party may have against such Company only to the extent that such Company has funds in excess of those funds necessary to pay matured and maturing Commercial Paper of such Company and to the extent such excess funds are insufficient to satisfy the obligations of such Company hereunder, such Company shall have no liability with respect to any amount of such obligations remaining unpaid and such unpaid amount shall not constitute a claim against such Company. Any and all claims against any Company shall be subordinate to the claims against such Company of the holders of such Company’s Commercial Paper and any Person providing liquidity support to such Company.

Administrative Seller. Each Seller hereby irrevocably appoints Dairy Group as its agent and attorney-in-fact (the “Administrative Seller”) which appointment shall remain in full force and effect unless and until the Agent shall have received prior written notice signed by each of the Sellers that such appointment has been revoked and that another Seller has been appointed the Administrative Seller.

Joint and Several.

Each of the Sellers is accepting joint and several liability hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents in consideration of the financial accommodations to be provided by the Purchasers under this Agreement, for the mutual benefit, directly and indirectly, of each of the Sellers and in consideration of the undertakings of the other Seller to accept joint and several liability for the Aggregate Unpaids.

fourth amended and restated
receivables purchase agreement

Each of the Sellers, jointly and severally, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally accepts, not merely as a surety but also as a co-debtor, joint and several liability with the other Seller, with respect to the payment and performance of all of the Aggregate Unpaids, it being the intention of the parties hereto that all the Aggregate Unpaids shall be the joint and several obligations of each of the Sellers without preferences or distinction between them.

Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, each Seller hereby waives notice of acceptance of its joint and several liability, notice of the occurrence of any Amortization Event or Potential Amortization Event, or of any demand for any payment under this Agreement, notice of any action at any time taken or omitted by the Agent or any Purchaser under or in respect of the Aggregate Unpaids, any requirement of diligence or to mitigate damages and, generally, to the extent permitted by applicable law, all demands, notices and other formalities of every kind in connection with this Agreement (except as otherwise provided in this Agreement). Each Seller hereby assents to, and waives notice of, any extension or postponement of the time for the payment of any of the Aggregate Unpaids, the acceptance of any payment of any of the Aggregate Unpaids, the acceptance of any partial payment thereon, any waiver, consent or other action or acquiescence by the Agent or any Purchaser at any time or times in respect of any default by any Seller in the performance or satisfaction of any term, covenant, condition or provision of this Agreement, any and all other indulgences whatsoever by the Agent or any Purchaser in respect of any of the Aggregate Unpaids, and the taking, addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, at any time or times, of any security for any of the Aggregate Unpaids or the addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, of any Seller. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Seller assents to any other action or delay in acting or failure to act on the part of the Agent or any Purchaser with respect to the failure by any Seller to comply with any of its respective obligations, it being the intention of each Seller that, so long as any of the Aggregate Unpaids hereunder remain unsatisfied, the obligations of such Seller under this Section 14.19 shall not be discharged except by performance and then only to the extent of such performance. The obligations of each Seller under this Section 14.19 shall not be diminished or rendered unenforceable by any winding up, reorganization, arrangement, liquidation, reconstruction or similar proceeding with respect to any Seller or the Agent or any Purchaser.

fourth amended and restated
receivables purchase agreement

Each Seller represents and warrants to the Agent and the Purchasers that such Seller is currently informed of the financial condition of the other Seller and of all other circumstances which a diligent inquiry would reveal and which bear upon the risk of nonpayment of the Aggregate Unpaids. Each Seller hereby covenants that such Seller will continue to keep informed of the other Seller’s financial condition, the financial condition of other guarantors, if any, and of all other circumstances which bear upon the risk of nonpayment or nonperformance of the Aggregate Unpaids.

Each Seller agrees that the Agent and the Purchasers may, in their sole and absolute discretion, select the Receivables of any one of the Sellers for sale or application to the Aggregate Unpaids, without regard to the ownership of such Receivables, and shall not be required to make such selection ratably from the Receivables owned by any of the Sellers.

The provisions of this Section 14.19 are made for the benefit of the Agent, the Purchasers and their respective successors and assigns, and may be enforced by it or them from time to time against any or all of the Sellers as often as occasion therefor may arise and without requirement on the part of the Agent, any Purchasers or any such successor or assign first to marshal any of its or their claims or to exercise any of its or their rights against any of the other Sellers or to exhaust any remedies available to it or them against any of the other Sellers or to resort to any other source or means of obtaining payment of any of the Aggregate Unpaids hereunder or to elect any other remedy. The provisions of this Section 14.19 shall remain in effect until all of the Aggregate Unpaids shall have been paid in full or otherwise fully satisfied. If at any time, any payment, or any part thereof, made in respect of any of the Aggregate Unpaids, is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Agent or any Purchaser upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any of the Sellers, or otherwise, the provisions of this Section 14.19 will forthwith be reinstated in effect, as though such payment had not been made.

Each Seller hereby agrees that it will not enforce any of its rights of contribution or subrogation against the other Seller with respect to any liability incurred by it hereunder or under any of the other Transaction Documents, any payments made by it to the Agent or any Purchaser with respect to any of the

fourth amended and restated
receivables purchase agreement

Aggregate Unpaids or any collateral security therefor until such time as all of the Aggregate Unpaids have been paid in full in cash. Any claim which any Seller may have against any other Seller with respect to any payments to the Agent or any Purchaser hereunder or under any other Transaction Documents are hereby expressly made subordinate and junior in right of payment, without limitation as to any increases in the Aggregate Unpaids arising hereunder or thereunder, to the prior payment in full in cash of the Aggregate Unpaids and, in the event of any insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar proceeding under the laws of any jurisdiction relating to any Seller, its debts or its assets, whether voluntary or involuntary, all such Aggregate Unpaids shall be paid in full in cash before any payment or distribution of any character, whether in cash, securities or other property, shall be made to any other Seller therefor.

Each of the Sellers hereby agrees that, after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Amortization Event or Potential Amortization Event, the payment of any amounts due with respect to the indebtedness owing by any Seller to any other Seller is hereby subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of the Aggregate Unpaids. Each Seller hereby agrees that after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Amortization Event or Potential Amortization Event, such Seller will not demand, ▇▇▇ for or otherwise attempt to collect any indebtedness of any other Seller owing to such Seller until the Aggregate Unpaids shall have been paid in full in cash. If, notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, such Seller shall collect, enforce or receive any amounts in respect of such indebtedness, such amounts shall be collected, enforced and received by such Seller as trustee for the Agent and the Purchasers, and such Seller shall deliver any such amounts to the Agent for application to the Aggregate Unpaids in accordance with Article II.

Exh. I-6

fourth amended and restated
receivables purchase agreement

Company); provided, however, that if any component of such rate is a discount rate, in calculating such rate for such Pool Company’s Pro Rata Share of the Aggregate Capital for such date, the rate used to calculate such component of such rate shall be a rate resulting from converting such discount rate to an interest bearing equivalent rate per annum. As used in this definition, the “weighted average cost” shall consist of (x) the actual interest rate paid to purchasers of Commercial Paper issued by such Pool Company, (y) the costs associated with the issuance of such Commercial Paper (including dealer fees and commissions to placement agents), and (z) interest on other borrowing or funding sources by such Pool Company, including to fund small or odd dollar amounts that are not easily accommodated in the commercial paper market;

(iii) for any Purchaser Interest purchased by the CL Company, for any CP (Tranche) Accrual Period, an amount equal to the Capital of such Purchaser Interest multiplied by a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) the rate or, if more than one rate, the weighted average of the rates, determined by converting to an interest-bearing equivalent rate per annum the discount rate (or rates) at which Commercial Paper of the CL Company having a term equal to such CP (Tranche) Accrual Period and to be issued to fund or to maintain such Purchaser Interest by the CL Company (including, without limitation, the related Capital and accrued and unpaid interest thereon) may be sold by any placement agent or commercial paper dealer selected by CLNY (or other agent of the CL Company) for the CL Company, as agreed between each such placement agent or dealer and CLNY (or such other agent); plus, (ii) the commissions and charges charged by such placement agent or dealer with respect to such Commercial Paper of the CL Company, expressed as a percentage of such face amount, converted to an interest-bearing equivalent rate per annum;

(iv) for any Purchaser Interest purchased by the Rabo Company and funded substantially with Pooled Commercial Paper, for any day, an amount equal to the Capital of such Purchaser Interest multiplied by a rate per annum equal to the weighted average of the per annum rates paid or payable by the Rabo Company from time to time as interest on Commercial Paper (by means of interest rate ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or otherwise and taking into consideration any incremental carrying costs associated with Commercial Paper issued by the Rabo Company maturing on dates other than those certain dates on which the Rabo Company is to receive funds) in respect of Commercial Paper issued by the Rabo Company that are allocated, in whole or in part, by Rabobank (or other agent of the Rabo Company) on behalf of the Rabo Company to fund or maintain the Capital of the Rabo Company during such period, as determined by Rabobank (or other agent of the Rabo Company) on behalf of the Rabo Company, which rates shall reflect and give effect to (i) the

Exh. I-7

fourth amended and restated
receivables purchase agreement

commissions of placement agents and dealers in respect of such Commercial Paper, to the extent such commissions are reasonably allocated, in whole or in part, to such Commercial Paper by Rabobank (or other agent of the Rabo Company) on behalf of the Rabo Company and (ii) other borrowings by the Rabo Company, including, without limitation, borrowings to fund small or odd dollar amounts that are not easily accommodated in the commercial paper market; provided that if any component of such rate is a discount rate, in calculating the Company Costs, Rabobank (or other agent of the Rabo Company) shall for such component use the rate resulting from converting such discount rate to an interest bearing equivalent rate per annum. In addition to the foregoing costs, if the Administrative Seller shall request any Purchaser Interest during any period of time determined by the Rabo Company in its sole discretion to result in incrementally higher Company Costs with respect to the Rabo Company applicable to such Purchaser Interest, the Capital associated with any such Purchaser Interest shall, during such period, be deemed to be funded by the Rabo Company in a special pool (which may include capital associated with other receivable purchase or financing facilities) for purposes of determining such additional Company Costs applicable only to such special pool and charged each day during such period against such Capital. Each Purchaser Interest funded substantially with Pooled Commercial Paper will accrue Company Costs with respect to the Rabo Company each day on a pro rata basis, based upon the percentage share the Capital in respect of such Purchaser Interest represents in relation to all assets held by the Rabo Company and funded substantially with Pooled Commercial Paper. For each Settlement Period, the Rabo Company shall calculate its aggregate Company Costs for such Settlement Period and report such Company Costs to the Administrative Seller pursuant to Section 3.3 of this Agreement; and

(v) for any Purchaser Interest purchased by the Wachovia Company and funded substantially with Pooled Commercial Paper, for any day, the sum of (i) discount or yield accrued on Pooled Commercial Paper on such day, plus (ii) any and all accrued commissions in respect of placement agents and Commercial Paper dealers, and issuing and paying agent fees incurred, in respect of such Pooled Commercial Paper for such day, plus (iii) other costs associated with funding small or odd-lot amounts with respect to all receivable purchase facilities which are funded by Pooled Commercial Paper for such day, minus (iv) any accrual of income net of expenses received on such day from investment of collections received under all receivable purchase facilities funded substantially with Pooled Commercial Paper, minus (v) any payment received on such day net of expenses in respect of broken funding costs related to the prepayment of any purchaser interest of the Wachovia Company pursuant to the terms of any receivable purchase facilities funded substantially with Pooled Commercial Paper. In addition to the foregoing costs, if

Exh. I-8

fourth amended and restated
receivables purchase agreement

the Administrative Seller shall request any Incremental Purchase during any period of time determined by the Wachovia Company (or by the Wachovia Company’s agent on its behalf) in its sole discretion to result in incrementally higher Company Costs with respect to the Wachovia Company applicable to such Incremental Purchase by the Wachovia Company, the Capital associated with any such Incremental Purchase shall, during such period, be deemed to be funded by the Wachovia Company in a special pool (which may include capital associated with other receivable purchase facilities) for purposes of determining such additional Company Costs applicable only to such special pool and charged each day during such period against such Capital. Each Purchaser Interest funded substantially with Pooled Commercial Paper will accrue Company Costs with respect to the Wachovia Company each day on a pro rata basis, based upon the percentage share the Capital in respect of such Purchaser Interest represents in relation to all assets held by the Wachovia Company and funded substantially with Pooled Commercial Paper. For each Settlement Period, the Wachovia Company shall calculate its aggregate Company Costs for such Settlement Period and report such Company Costs to the Administrative Seller pursuant to Section 3.3 of this Agreement.

“Company Purchase Limit” means, for each Company, the purchase limit of such Company with respect to the purchase of Purchaser Interests from the Sellers, in an amount not to exceed (i) in the aggregate, the amount set forth opposite such Company’s name on Schedule A to this Agreement, as such amount may be modified in accordance with the terms hereof (including Section 4.6(b)) and (ii) with respect to any individual purchase hereunder, its Pro Rata Share of the Purchase Price therefor.

“Concentration Limit” means, at any time, (a) for any Obligor other than an Obligor for which a Special Concentration Limit has been designated, 3% of the aggregate Outstanding Balance of all Eligible Receivables, or (b) for Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., 15%, for Albertson’s Inc., 7%, and for any other Obligor designated by Agent, such other percentage as Agent may designate (each of the foregoing, a “Special Concentration Limit”); provided, that in the case of an Obligor and any Affiliate of such Obligor, the Concentration Limit shall be calculated as if such Obligor and such Affiliate are one Obligor; and provided, further, that the Required Purchasers may, upon not less than five Business Days’ notice to Seller, cancel any Special Concentration Limit.

“Consent Notice” has the meaning set forth in Section 4.6(a).

“Consent Period” has the meaning set forth in Section 4.6(a).
