AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF THE PURCHASES.
SECTION 2.01. Agreement to Purchase. (a) On the terms and
conditions hereinafter set forth, the Buyer agrees to make the Initial Purchase
hereunder on the Closing Date by purchasing from each Originator, and each
Originator agrees to sell to the Buyer, all Receivables of such Originator
existing as of the close of business on the Business Day immediately prior to
the Closing Date, together with all of the Related Security relating to such
Receivables, all Collections with respect to, and other proceeds of, such
Receivables. On each Business Day after the Initial Purchase until the
occurrence of the Termination Date, the Buyer agrees to purchase from each
Originator, and each Originator agrees to sell to the Buyer, all Receivables of
such Originator existing as of the close of business on the immediately
preceding Business Day which have not been previously purchased hereunder,
together with all of the Related Security relating to such Receivables and all
Collections with respect to and other proceeds of such Receivables. Prior to
making any Purchase hereunder, the Buyer may request of any Originator, and the
applicable Originator shall deliver, such approvals, opinions, information,
reports or documents as the Buyer may reasonably request.
(b) It is the intention of the parties hereto that each
Purchase of Receivables to be made hereunder shall constitute a "sale of
accounts," as such term is used in Article 9 of the UCC of the State of New
York, and not a loan secured by such accounts. Except for the Noncomplying
Receivables Adjustment made on each Asset Report Date and the Dilution
Adjustment Credit made on any Business Day, each sale of Receivables by any
Originator to the Buyer is made without recourse; provided, however, that (i)
the Originators shall be liable to the Buyer for all representations,
warranties and covenants made by the Originators pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement, and (ii) such sale does not constitute and is not intended to result
in an assumption by the Buyer or any assignee thereof of any obligation of the
Originators or any other person arising in connection with the Transferred
Assets, or any other obligations of the Originators. In view of the intention
of the parties hereto that the Purchases of Receivables to be made hereunder
shall constitute a sale of such Receivables rather than a loan secured by such
Receivables, each Originator agrees to clearly, expressly and accurately state
on its respective financial statements that the Receivables have been sold to
the Buyer.
15
-11-
(c) The parties hereto acknowledge that on the Closing Date
OutSource International shall, and from time to time thereafter OutSource
International may (but without any obligation to do so), contribute to the
capital of Buyer such amounts as may be necessary or desirable for the
operation of Buyer's business and the payment of its obligations under this
Agreement. In connection with any such contribution, the parties hereto agree
that OutSource International may, in lieu of making a cash transfer, authorize
Buyer to deduct the amount of such contributions from the Purchase Price
otherwise payable by Buyer to OutSource International on the applicable date.
All of the Receivables so paid for through such deductions shall constitute
Transferred Assets within the meaning of this Agreement and shall be subject to
all of the representations, warranties and covenants hereunder to the same
extent as if Buyer had paid the Purchase Price for such Receivables with cash
from its own funds.
SECTION 2.02. Payment for the Purchases. (a) The Purchase
Price for each Purchase shall be payable in full in cash by the Buyer to the
applicable Originator or its designee on the date of such Purchase; except that
the Buyer may, with respect to any Purchase, offset against such Purchase
Price, (i) any positive Noncomplying Receivables Adjustments or other amounts
shown on an Asset Report as owing from such Originator to the Buyer and which
remain unpaid; (ii) any Dilution Adjustment Credits for Receivables sold by
such Originator reported on the most recent Weekly Settlement Report and any
Dilution Adjustment Credits for Receivables sold by such Originator and
reported in any previous Weekly Settlement Report which remain unpaid; and
(iii) any other amounts owed by such Originator to the Buyer hereunder and
which remain unpaid.
(b) If, on any day, the amount of cash available to the Buyer
under the OutSource Funding Credit Agreement is less than the Purchase Price
owing for all Purchases of Receivables to be made on such day, then the Buyer
may, by written notice to the Originators, elect to pay such remaining part of
the Purchase Price by borrowing a subordinated revolving loan (each an
"Originator Loan") and each Originator shall have irrevocably agreed to
advance, and shall be deemed to have advanced, an Originator Loan in the amount
so specified by the Buyer; provided, however, that the Buyer may not make any
such election and no Originator shall have any obligation to extend any
Originator Loans to the Buyer if, as a result thereof, the aggregate unpaid
principal amount of all of the Originator Loans would exceed the sum of (i) the
aggregate Outstanding Balance of Eligible Receivables as of the opening of
business on such date minus (ii) one hundred ten percent (110%) of outstanding
"Loans" under the OutSource Funding Credit Agreement.
(c) The Originator Loans advanced by each Originator shall be
evidenced by, and payable in accordance with the terms and provisions of, a
promissory note (the "Originator Note") payable to such Originator in the form
of Exhibit C attached hereto. On each Business Day, to the extent that the
Buyer receives either Collections or proceeds from any loans under the
OutSource Funding Credit Agreement which, in any case, it is not required to
16
-12-
hold in trust for, or remit to, the Servicer or the Agent, then the Buyer shall
remit such funds to the Originators (net of any funds needed to pay existing
expenses which are then accrued and unpaid) in the following order of priority
and application: first to pay the Purchase Price owed on such date; second to
pay any Noncomplying Receivables Adjustment payments owed under Section 2.03;
and third to pay amounts owed under the Originator Notes.
(d) The Originator Loans shall, subject to the terms of the
Originator Note, be subordinated to the prior right and payment in full of all
obligations of the Buyer under the OutSource Funding Credit Agreement. The
Buyer shall, to the extent reasonably practicable, use its best efforts (i) to
allocate the amount of Originator Loans made on any day first to OutSource
International and then ratably according to the respective Purchase Prices owed
to each other Originator for Receivables sold on such date and (ii) to allocate
payments of principal and interest on the Originator Notes ratably to each
Originator other than OutSource International according to the outstanding
principal amounts thereof and thereafter to OutSource International.
SECTION 2.03. Settlement Procedures. (a) Weekly. The
Servicer shall, as part of the Weekly Settlement Report, note the Dilution
Adjustment Credit due to the Buyer from any Originator. The Buyer shall,
pursuant to Section 2.02, subtract such Dilution Adjustment Credit from the
Purchase Price which would otherwise be owed to such Originator on such day
and, if the amount of such credit exceeds the amount of such Purchase Price,
the unused amount of the Dilution Adjustment Credit shall be applied as a
prepayment of the then outstanding principal amount of the Originator Note
issued in favor of such Originator. Any remaining unutilized amount of the
Dilution Adjustment Credit shall be credited by the Buyer against all future
Purchases from such Originator; provided, however, that if such credits are not
fully utilized within five (5) Business Days, the applicable Originator shall
pay the remaining amount of such credit in cash on the next succeeding Business
Day.
(b) Monthly. On or prior to each Asset Report Date, the
Servicer shall prepare and deliver to the Buyer pursuant to 6.06(b), a
statement of the Noncomplying Receivables Adjustment due to the Buyer from any
Originator or from the Buyer to any Originator, as the case may be. If the
Noncomplying Receivables Adjustment is a positive number, such number shall be
shown on the Asset Report as an amount due to the Buyer and the Buyer shall
subtract such Noncomplying Receivables Adjustment from the Purchase Price which
would otherwise be owed to the applicable Originator on such day and, if the
amount of such adjustment exceeds the amount of such Purchase Price, the unused
positive amount of the Noncomplying Receivables Adjustment shall be applied as
a prepayment of the then outstanding principal amount of the Originator Note
held by such Originator. Any remaining unutilized positive amount of the
Noncomplying Receivables Adjustment shall be credited by the Buyer against all
future Purchases from the applicable Originator; provided, however, that if
such credits are not fully utilized within five (5) Business Days, such
Originator shall pay the remaining amount of such adjustment in cash on the
17
-13-
next succeeding Business Day. Alternatively, if the Noncomplying Receivables
Adjustment is a negative number, such number shall be shown on the Asset Report
as an amount due to such Originator, and the Buyer shall pay to such Originator
the amount, if any, shown on the Asset Report as the net amount due from Buyer
to such Originator. To the extent that such net amount due remains unpaid as of
the end of such Asset Report Date, the principal amount of the Originator Note
issued to such Originator shall be increased on the applicable Asset Report
Date by such remaining unpaid amount, subject, however, to the limits on the
amounts of the Originator Note permitted under Section 2.02(b) above.
(c) Generally. Until the Originators or the Buyer shall
notify the Servicer of any exceptions to the calculations contained therein,
the calculations of the Dilution Adjustment Credit and Noncomplying Receivables
Adjustment in each Weekly Settlement Report and each Asset Report shall be
deemed to be correct as originally delivered. If any Originator or the Buyer
shall have notified the Servicer of any exceptions to such calculations, such
Originator and the Buyer shall promptly endeavor to resolve the matters set
forth in such notice. If no such resolution is agreed upon on or before the
next Asset Report Date, however, then the Asset Report originally delivered by
the Servicer shall, absent manifest error, continue to be presumed correct
until a resolution is reached to the contrary. Nothing contained in this
Section 2.03(c) shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Buyer under Section
8.01.
SECTION 2.04. Payments and Computations, Etc. All amounts to
be paid by any Originator or the Servicer to the Buyer hereunder shall be paid
in accordance with the terms hereof no later than 11:00 A.M. (Boston,
Massachusetts time) on the day when due in immediately available funds to such
account as the Buyer may from time to time specify in writing. Payments
received by the Buyer after such time shall be deemed to have been received on
the next Business Day. In the event that any payment becomes due on a day which
is not a Business Day, then such payment shall be made on the next succeeding
Business Day. Each of the Originators shall, and if any Originator is the
Servicer, the Servicer shall, to the extent permitted by law, pay to the Buyer,
on demand, interest on all amounts not paid when due hereunder (whether owing
by any Originator individually or as Servicer) at 2.0% per annum above the Base
Rate, payable on demand; provided, however, that such interest rate shall not
at any time exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. All
computations of interest payable hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year
of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first but excluding
the last day) elapsed.
SECTION 2.05. Transfer of Records to the Buyer. (a) Each
Purchase of Receivables hereunder shall include the transfer to the Buyer of
all of the applicable Originator's right and title to and interest in the
Records relating to such Receivables and rights to the use of such Originator's
computer software to access and create the Records, and each Originator hereby
agrees that such transfer shall be effected automatically with each such
Purchase, without any action on the part of the parties hereto or any further
documentation.
18
-14-
(b) Each Originator shall take such action requested by the
Buyer, from time to time hereafter, that may be necessary or appropriate to
ensure that the Buyer and its assignees have (i) an enforceable ownership
interest in the Records relating to the Receivables purchased hereunder and
(ii) an enforceable right (whether by license or sublicense or otherwise) to
use all of the computer software used to account for the Receivables and/or to
recreate such Records.

Originators has any trade names, fictitious names, assumed names or "doing
business as" names or other names under which it has done (at any time during
the five year period preceding the date hereof) or is currently doing business.
22
-18-
(m) No event has occurred and is continuing, or would result

true sale of the Receivables and the related property, are true and correct at
all times. Without limiting the foregoing, the Originators will cause any
financial statements consolidated with those of the Buyer to contain footnotes
or other disclosures which describe the Buyer's business and otherwise inform

of their Affiliates.
(h) Supplemental Opinions. Each Originator will cause to be

pursuant to Section 3.01 or providing in reasonable detail the reasons why any
such opinions cannot be reaffirmed.
(i) Change in Corporate Name. No Originator will make any
change to its corporate name or use any trade names, fictitious names, assumed
names or conduct business under any names other than those described in

name change or use, the applicable Originator shall have delivered to the Buyer
such financing statements (Form UCC-1 and UCC-3) executed by such Originator
which the Buyer may request to reflect such name change or use, together with
such other documents and instruments that the Buyer may request in connection
therewith.
(j) Audits. At any time and from time to time upon prior
written notice from the Buyer during regular business hours and on an annual
(or more frequent) basis, if requested by the Buyer, the Originators will

purposes of examining such Records. Each such audit shall be at the sole

operating procedures (including, without limitation, an ability to recreate

originals thereof) and keep and maintain, all documents, books, records and
other information which are reasonably necessary or advisable for the
collection of the Transferred Assets (including all Receivables and Collections
included therein). Such books and records shall be marked to indicate the sales

consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) and the Buyer shall have received
(i) ten Business Days' prior notice of such addition, termination or change,
(ii) prior to the effective date of such addition, termination or change, (x)

Originator shall pay or cause to be paid all taxes shown to be due and payable
on such returns or on any assessments received by it, other than any taxes or

fullest extent practicable prevent the deposit into any of the Lock-Box

funds are nevertheless deposited into any of such Lock-Box Accounts, such funds
will be relatively insignificant in amount and the applicable Originator will
promptly identify any such funds to the Servicer for segregation and remittance
to the owner thereof. To the extent that an Obligor has assigned other

receivables exceeds the balance of such Receivables, the applicable Originator
will promptly identify any such funds to the Servicer for segregation and
remittance to the applicable Obligor.

ARTICLE VI
ADMINISTRATION, COLLECTION AND MONITORING OF ASSETS
SECTION 6.01. Appointment and Designation of the Servicer.
The Originators and the Buyer hereby appoint the Person (the "Servicer")
designated by the Buyer from time to time pursuant to this Section 6.01, as the
Buyer's agent to service, administer and collect the Receivables and otherwise
to enforce its rights and interests in, to and under the Receivables, the
Related Security and the Contracts. The Servicer's authorization under this
Agreement shall terminate on the Collection Date. Until the Buyer gives notice
to the Originators of a designation of a new Servicer, OutSource International
is hereby designated as, and hereby agrees to perform the duties and
obligations of, the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof. The Buyer may
designate as Servicer any Person to succeed OutSource International or any
successor Servicer, on the condition in each case that any such Person so
designated shall agree to perform the duties and obligations of the Servicer
pursuant to the terms hereof. Each of the Originators and the Servicer hereby
grants to any successor Servicer an irrevocable power of attorney to take any
and all steps in such Originators' or the Servicer's name, as applicable, and
on behalf of the Buyer, as may be necessary or desirable, in the determination
of the successor Servicer, to collect all amounts due under any and all
Receivables, including, without limitation, endorsing the applicable
Originator's name on checks and other instruments representing Collections and
enforcing such Receivables and the related Contracts. The Servicer may, with
the prior consent of the Buyer, subcontract with any other Person for
servicing, administering or collecting the Receivables, provided that the
Servicer shall remain liable for the performance of the duties and obligations
30
-26-
of the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Agreement, the Servicer, if not OutSource
International, an Originator or an Affiliate thereof, shall have no obligation
to collect, enforce or take any other action described in this Article VI with
respect to any Receivable that is not a Transferred Asset other than to deliver
to the Originators the Collections and documents with respect to any such
Receivable that is not a Transferred Asset as described in Sections 6.03 and
6.06(b). The Buyer shall pay to the Servicer a collection fee (the "Servicer
Fee") of 1% per annum on the average daily amount of the Outstanding Balance of
Purchased Receivables, from the date hereof until the Collection Date, payable
on each Settlement Date; provided, however, that such fee shall be payable only
from Collections; and provided, further, that, upon three Business Days' notice
to the Agent, the Servicer may (if not OutSource International or an Affiliate
thereof), elect to be paid, as such fee, another percentage per annum on the
average daily amount of outstanding Receivables, but in no event shall the
Servicer Fee payable in respect of any Collection Period after the date any
such election is made exceed 110% of the reasonable and appropriate costs and
expenses of the Servicer incurred during such Collection Period.
SECTION 6.02. Collection of Receivables by the Servicer;
Extensions and Amendments of Receivables. The Servicer shall take or cause to
be taken all such actions as may be necessary or advisable to collect each
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; provided, however, that, (a) the Buyer shall have
the absolute and unlimited right to direct the Servicer (whether the Servicer
is OutSource International, an Originator or otherwise) to commence or settle
any legal action, to enforce collection of any Transferred Asset or to
foreclose upon or repossess any Related Security, and (b) the Servicer shall
not make the Buyer a party to any litigation without the express written
consent of the Buyer. If the Termination Date shall not have occurred,
OutSource International, while it is Servicer, may, in accordance with the
Credit and Collection Policy, (1) extend the maturity or adjust the Outstanding
Balance of any Defaulted Receivable as OutSource International may determine to
be appropriate to maximize Collections thereof and (2) adjust the Outstanding
Balance of any Receivable to reflect Actual Dilution and any reductions or
cancellations as a result of setoff in respect of any claim by the Obligor
thereof, in accordance with the requirements of the Credit and Collection
Policy and provided that such extension or adjustment shall not alter the
status of such Receivable as a Defaulted Receivable or limit the rights of the
Buyer under this Agreement. Except as otherwise permitted pursuant to the next
preceding sentence, neither the Servicer nor the Originators will extend,
amend, cancel or otherwise modify the terms of any Transferred Asset, or amend,
modify, cancel or waive any term or condition of any Contract related thereto
without the prior written approval of the Buyer.
SECTION 6.03. Distribution and Application of Collections.
The Servicer shall set aside and segregate funds and shall be required to
segregate all Collections on the Receivables from the other funds belonging to
the Servicer. The Servicer shall as soon as practicable following receipt turn
31
-27-
over to the applicable Originator the Collections of any Receivable which is
not a Transferred Asset less, in the event neither OutSource International, an
Originator nor an Affiliate thereof is the Servicer, all reasonable and
appropriate out-of-pocket costs and expenses of such Servicer of servicing,
collecting and administering the Receivables to the extent not covered by the
Servicer Fee received by it.
SECTION 6.04. Other Rights of the Buyer. At any time
following the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event or the designation of
a Servicer other than OutSource International, an Originator or any Affiliate
of either thereof pursuant to Section 6.01:
(a) The Buyer may or, at the request of the Buyer, the
Originators shall (in either case, at the Originators' expense) direct the
Obligors of Receivables, or any of them, to pay all amounts payable under any
Receivable directly to the Buyer or its designee;
(b) The Buyer may, or at the request of the Buyer, the
Originators shall (in either case, at the Originators' expense) give each of

(c) The Originators shall, at the Buyer's request and at the
Originators' expense, (i) assemble all Records and make the same available to
the Buyer or its designee at a place selected by the Buyer or its designee, and
(ii) segregate all cash, checks and other instruments received by it from time
to time constituting Collections of Receivables in a manner acceptable to the
Buyer and, promptly following receipt, remit all such cash, checks and
instruments, duly endorsed or with duly executed instruments of transfer, to
the Buyer or its designee.
SECTION 6.05. Records; Audits. (a) The Servicer will maintain
and implement administrative and operating procedures (including, without
limitation, an ability to recreate records evidencing the Receivables in the
event of the destruction of the originals thereof), and keep and maintain all
documents, books, records and other information reasonably necessary or
advisable for the collection of all Receivables (including, without limitation,
records adequate to permit the daily identification of each new Transferred
Asset and all Collections of and adjustments to each existing Transferred
Asset).
(b) The Servicer, whether or not OutSource International, an
Originator or an Affiliate thereof, shall hold all Records in trust for the
Buyer. Subject to the receipt of contrary instructions from the Buyer, each
Originator will deliver all Records to such Servicer; provided, however, that
the Servicer, if other than OutSource International or an Originator, shall as
soon as practicable upon demand deliver to the Originators all Records in its
possession relating to Receivables of the Originators other than Transferred
Assets, and copies of Records in its possession relating to Transferred Assets.
32
-28-
(c) The Servicer will, from time to time during regular
business hours as requested by the Buyer, permit the Buyer, or its agents or
representatives, (i) to examine and make copies of and abstracts from all
Records and (ii) to visit the offices and properties of the Servicer for the
purpose of examining such Records and to discuss matters relating to the
Receivables or the Servicer's or the Originators' performance hereunder with
any of the officers or employees of the Servicer or the Originators having
knowledge of such matters.
SECTION 6.06. Receivable Reporting. (a) The Servicer, so long
as it is OutSource International, an Originator or an Affiliate thereof, and
otherwise the Originators, will deliver to the Buyer (i) prior to the Asset
Report Date occurring during each Collection Period hereafter, a report
identifying the Transferred Assets (and the aged balance thereof), by Obligor
and invoice number, as of the last day of the next preceding Collection Period,
(ii) as of the Termination Date, a report identifying the Transferred Assets
(and the aged balance thereof), by Obligor and invoice number, within five (5)
Business Days after the Termination Date, (iii) upon the Buyer's request, no
less frequently than once per week, a report identifying the Transferred Assets
by Obligor and invoice number as of the close of business on the preceding
Sunday and (iv) prior to the Asset Report Date occurring in each Collection
Period hereafter, a report identifying the outstanding accounts payable of each
of the Originators as of the last day of the next preceding Collection Period,
identified by the relevant account payee.
(b) On or prior to the Asset Report Date occurring in each
Collection Period, the Servicer shall prepare and forward to the Buyer, an
Asset Report relating to all Transferred Assets, as of the close of business of
the Servicer on the last day of the preceding Collection Period.
SECTION 6.07. Collections and Lock-Boxes. The Originators and
the Servicer will:
(i) instruct all Obligors to cause all Collections
to be either (A) remitted to a Lock-Box and will cause each
Lock-Box Bank to retrieve such Collections promptly and
deposit the same to the respective Lock-Box Accounts or (B)
deposited directly with the Lock-Box Bank, and
(ii) pursuant to the OutSource Funding Credit
Agreement, instruct all Lock-Box Banks to transfer such
Collections in same day funds to the BKB Collection Account
maintained with the BKB Collection Account Bank. If the
Originators receive any Collections, the applicable
Originator will remit such Collections to the BKB Collection
Account within one Business Day following such Originator's
receipt thereof. The Originators will not add or terminate
any bank as a Lock-Box Bank from those listed in Schedule III
or make any change in their instructions to Obligors
33
-29-
regarding payments to be made to any Lock Box or any Lock-Box
Bank, unless the Buyer shall have received at least ten
Business Days' prior written notice of such addition,
termination or change and all actions reasonably requested by
the Buyer to protect and perfect the interest of the Buyer in
the Collections of Transferred Assets have been taken and
completed. The Originators hereby transfer to the Buyer,
effective upon the Initial Purchase, the exclusive ownership
and control of each of the Lock-Box Accounts, and each
Lock-Box Bank shall be instructed to remit any amounts
deposited in its Lock-Box Accounts solely according to the
direction of the Buyer or its assigns. The Originators hereby
agree to take any further action necessary that the Buyer may
reasonably request to effect such transfer.
SECTION 6.08. UCC Matters; Protection and Perfection of
Transferred Assets. Each Originator will keep its principal place of business
and chief executive office, and the office where it keeps the Records, at the
address of such Originator referred to in Section 9.02 or, upon 30 days' prior
written notice to the Buyer, at such other locations within the United States
where all actions reasonably requested by the Buyer to protect and perfect the
interest of the Buyer in the Transferred Assets have been taken and completed.
Each Originator will not make any change to its corporate name or use any
tradenames, fictitious names, assumed names, "doing business as" names or other
names other than those described in Schedule IV, unless prior to the effective
date of any such name change or use, the applicable Originator delivers to the
Buyer such executed financing statements as the Buyer may request to reflect
such name change or use, together with such other documents and instruments as
the Buyer may request in connection therewith. Each Originator agrees that from
time to time, at its expense, it will promptly execute and deliver all further
instruments and documents, and take all further action that the Buyer may
reasonably request in order to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the
Transferred Assets acquired by the Buyer hereunder, or to enable the Buyer to
exercise or enforce any of its respective rights hereunder. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, the Originators will: (a) upon the request of
the Buyer, execute and file such financing or continuation statements, or
amendments thereto or assignments thereof, and such other instruments or
notices, as may be necessary or appropriate or as the Buyer may request, and
(b) on or prior to the date hereof, ▇▇▇▇ their master data processing records
evidencing such Transferred Assets and related Contracts with a legend,
34
-30-
acceptable to the Buyer, evidencing that the Buyer or its assigns have
purchased all right and title thereto. Each Originator hereby authorizes the
Buyer to file one or more financing or continuation statements, and amendments
thereto and assignments thereof, relative to all or any of the Transferred
Assets now existing or hereafter arising without the signature of the
applicable Originator where permitted by law. A carbon, photographic or other
reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement covering the
Transferred Assets or any part thereof shall be sufficient as a financing
statement. The Originators shall, upon the request of the Buyer at any time and
at the Originators' expense, notify the Obligors of Transferred Assets, or any
of them, of the ownership of Transferred Assets by the Buyer. If the
Originators fail to perform any of their agreements or obligations under this
Section 6.08, the Buyer may (but shall not be required to) itself perform, or
cause performance of, such agreement or obligation, and the expenses of the
Buyer incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the Originators upon
the Buyer's demand therefor. For purposes of enabling the Buyer to exercise its
rights described in the preceding sentence and elsewhere in this Article VI,
the Originators hereby authorize the Buyer to take any and all steps in the
Originators' names and on behalf of the Originators necessary or desirable, in
the determination of the Buyer, to collect all amounts due under any and all
Receivables, including, without limitation, endorsing the Originators' names on
checks and other instruments representing Collections and enforcing such
Receivables and the related Contracts.
SECTION 6.09. Obligations of the Originators With Respect to
Receivables. Each Originator will (a) at its expense, regardless of any
exercise by the Buyer of its rights hereunder, timely and fully perform and
comply with all material provisions, covenants and other promises required to
be observed by it under the Contracts related to the Transferred Assets to the
same extent as if Transferred Assets therein had not been sold hereunder and
(b) pay when due any taxes, including without limitation, sales and excise
taxes, payable in connection with the Transferred Assets. In no event shall the
Buyer have any obligation or liability with respect to any Transferred Assets
or related Contracts, nor shall it be obligated to perform any of the
obligations of the Originators or any of their Affiliates thereunder. The
Originators will timely and fully comply in all material respects with the
Credit and Collection Policy in regard to each Receivable and the related
Contract. The Originators will not make any change in the character of their
businesses or in the Credit and Collection Policy, which change would, in
either case, impair the collectibility of any Transferred Asset.
SECTION 6.10. Applications of Collections. Any payment by an
Obligor in respect of any indebtedness owed by it to any Originator shall,
except as otherwise specified by such Obligor or otherwise required by contract
or law and unless otherwise instructed by the Buyer, be applied as a Collection
of any Receivables constituting Transferred Assets of such Obligor, in the
order of the age of such Receivables, starting with the oldest such Receivable,
to the extent of any amounts then due and payable thereunder, before being
applied to any Receivable that is not a Transferred Asset or other indebtedness
of such Obligor.
SECTION 6.11. Annual Servicing Report of Independent Public
Accountants. On an annual basis on or before March 31 of each calendar year,
the Servicer shall cause nationally recognized independent public accountants
acceptable to the Buyer to furnish a report to each of the Servicer and the
Buyer substantially to the effect that (i) such accountants have examined
certain documents and records relating to the servicing of Receivables under
this Agreement, compared the information contained in the Weekly Settlement
35
-31-
Reports and Asset Reports delivered by or on behalf of the Originators under
this Agreement during the annual period covered by such report (or such shorter
initial period, as the case may be) with such documents and records and that,
on the basis of such examination, and subject to such reasonable limitations
and qualifications as may be set forth in such report, such accountants are of
the opinion that the servicing has been conducted substantially in compliance
with the terms and conditions as set forth in Article VI of this Agreement,
except for such exceptions as they believe to be immaterial and such other
exceptions as shall be set forth in such statement and (ii) such accountants
have compared the mathematical calculations of each amount set forth in the
Weekly Settlement Reports and Asset Reports delivered pursuant to this
Agreement during the period covered by such report with the Servicer's computer
reports which were the source of such amounts and that on the basis of such
comparison, such accountants are of the opinion that such amounts are in
agreement, except for such exceptions as they believe to be immaterial and such
other exceptions as shall be set forth in such statement.

clear of an Adverse Claim or (ii) this Agreement shall for any reason cease to
evidence the transfer to the Buyer of legal and equitable title to, and
ownership of, the Transferred Assets; or
(f) (i) Any Originator or any of their respective Affiliates
shall generally not pay its debts as such debts become due, or shall admit in
writing its inability to pay its debts generally, or shall make a general
assignment for the benefit of creditors; or any proceeding shall be instituted
by or against any Originator seeking to adjudicate it a bankrupt or insolvent,
or seeking liquidation, winding up, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment,
protection, relief, or composition of it or its debts under any law relating to
bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors, or seeking the
entry of an order for relief or the appointment of a receiver, trustee, or
other similar official for it or for any substantial part of its property and,

then, and in any such event, the Buyer may, by notice to the Originators
declare the Termination Date to have occurred, except that, in the case of any
event described in Section 7.01(f) above, the Termination Date shall be deemed
to have occurred automatically upon the occurrence of such event. Upon any such
declaration or automatic occurrence, the Buyer shall have, in addition to all
other rights and remedies under this Agreement or otherwise, all other rights
and remedies provided under the UCC of the applicable jurisdiction and other
applicable laws, which rights shall be cumulative.

SECTION 9.04. No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of

42
-38-

conditions set forth in, the Originator Sale Agreement. This Note represents
all or a portion of the Purchase Price for Receivables purchased by the Issuer
from the Holder pursuant to the terms of the Originator Sale Agreement. Each
capitalized term utilized herein which is defined in the Originator Sale
Agreement shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Originator Sale
Agreement.
This Note is subject to prepayment in full or in part at the
option of the Issuer at any time upon three Business Days' prior notice to the
Holder, without a premium, subject in all events to the terms of the Originator
Sale Agreement.
This Note is subordinate and junior in right and time of
payment to all obligations and required payments or deposits of the Issuer in
favor of BankBoston, N.A., as agent (the "Agent") for the banks party to the
OutSource Funding Credit Agreement (collectively, together with their
respective successors and assignees, the "Senior Claimants"), howsoever
created, arising or evidenced, whether direct or indirect, absolute or
contingent, now or hereafter, or due or to become due on or before the Final
Payment Date (collectively, the "Senior Issuer Claims"), pursuant to the
following subordination provisions (the "Subordination Provisions"):
(A) The Holder agrees upon any distribution of all or any of
the assets of the Issuer to creditors of the Issuer upon the dissolution,
winding up, total or partial liquidation, arrangement, reorganization,
adjustment protection, relief, or composition of the Issuer or its debts, any
payment or distribution of any kind in respect of this Note (including, without
limitation, cash, property, securities and any payment or distribution which
may be payable or deliverable by reason of the payment of any other Debt of the
Issuer being subordinated to the payment of this Note) that otherwise would be
payable or deliverable upon or with respect to this Note, directly or
indirectly, by set-off or in any other manner, including, without limitation,
59
-3-
from or by way of liquidation of the Transferred Assets, shall be paid or
delivered directly to the Agent for application (in the case of cash) to, or as
Related Security or Collections on, the Transferred Assets, for the payment or
prepayment in full of all amounts payable under the Senior Issuer Claims, until
all of the Senior Issuer Claims shall have been indefeasibly paid in full in
cash. The Agent is irrevocably authorized and empowered (in its own name or in
the name of the Holder or otherwise), but shall have no obligation, to demand,
▇▇▇ for, collect and receive every payment or distribution referred to in the
preceding sentence and give acquittance therefor and to file claims and proofs
of claim and take such other action (including, without limitation, voting this
Note and enforcing any security interest or other lien securing payment of this
Note) as the Agent may request to (i) collect this Note for the account of
itself and the other Senior Claimants and to file appropriate claims or proofs
of claim in respect of this Note, (ii) execute and deliver to the Agent such
powers of attorney, assignments or other instruments as the Agent may request
in order to enable the Agent to enforce any and all claims with respect to, and
any security interest and other liens securing payment of, this Note, and (iii)
collect and receive any and all payments or distribution which may be payable
or deliverable upon or with respect to this Note.
(B) All payments or distributions upon or with respect to
this Note that are received by the Holder contrary to the provisions of this
Note, any of the Originator Sale Agreement, the OutSource Funding Credit
Agreement or the Lock-Box Agreement, or any of the other documents, agreements
and instruments entered into in connection therewith and the transactions
contemplated thereby (collectively, the "Facility Documents") shall be received
in trust for the benefit of the Senior Claimants, shall be segregated from
other funds and property held by the Holder and shall be forthwith paid over to
the Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement) to
be applied (in the case of cash) to, or held as Related Security or Collections
(in the case of non-cash property) for the payment or prepayment in full of the
Senior Issuer Claims until the Senior Issuer Claims shall have been
indefeasibly paid in full in cash. The Holder agrees that no payment or
distribution to any of the Senior Claimants pursuant to the provisions of this
Note shall entitle the Holder to exercise any rights of subrogation in respect
thereof against the Issuer until the Senior Issuer Claims shall have been
indefeasibly paid in full and in cash. The Holder and the Issuer hereby waive
promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance and any other notice with respect
to any of the Senior Issuer Claims and any requirement that the Agent or any
other Person protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien
on any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against
the Issuer or any other Person or any assets or property.
(C) The Holder agrees and confirms that none of the Senior
Claimants (including, without limitation, the Agent) shall have any duty
whatsoever to the Holder as holder of this Note and that none of the Senior
Claimants shall be liable to the Holder for any action taken or omitted, to the
extent authorized under the terms of any Facility Document, with respect to
this Note.
60
-4-
(D) Prior to the indefeasible payment in full and in cash of
all of the Senior Issuer Claims, the Holder will not seek to collect, ask,
demand, ▇▇▇ for or take or receive from the Issuer in cash or other property,
by set-off or in any other manner, any amounts owing under this Note in any
manner, or exercise or enforce any of its rights under this Note.
(E) The Holder and the Issuer agree that at no time hereafter
will any part of the indebtedness represented by this Note be represented by
any negotiable instruments or other writings except this Note.
(F) The Holder and the Issuer waive notice of and consent to
the creation of additional Senior Issuer Claims from time to time pursuant to
the other Facility Documents, and any other obligation, any extensions granted
by any of the Senior Claimants with respect thereto, the taking or releasing of
collateral or any obligors or guarantors for the payment thereof, and the
releasing of the Holder or any other subordinating creditors. No failure or
delay by any of the Senior Claimants to exercise any right granted herein, or
in any other agreement or bylaw shall constitute a waiver of such right or of
any other right.
(G) The Holder and the Issuer agree to execute and deliver to
any of the Senior Claimants, such additional documents, and to take such
