TRANSFERS OF RECEIVABLES

Section 2.01.  Agreement to Transfer.

(a)                                  Receivables Transfers.  Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Originator agrees to sell (without recourse except to the limited extent specifically provided herein) or, in the case of the Member, sell or contribute, to Buyer on the Effective Date and on each Business Day thereafter until the Commitment Termination Date (each such date, a “Transfer Date”) all Receivables owned by it on each such Transfer Date, and Buyer agrees to purchase or acquire as a capital contribution all such Receivables on each such Transfer Date.  All such Transfers by an Originator to Buyer shall collectively be evidenced by a certificate of assignment substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.01(a) (each, a “Receivables Assignment,” and collectively, the “Receivables Assignments”), and each Originator and Buyer shall execute and deliver a Receivables Assignment on or before the Effective Date.

(b)                                 Determination of Sold Receivables.  On and as of each Transfer Date, (i) all Receivables then owned by each Originator (other than the Member) and not previously acquired by Buyer shall be sold immediately upon its creation, and (ii) to the extent Receivables then owned by the Member have not been contributed to Buyer in accordance with Section 2.01(d), such Receivables shall be sold to Buyer (each such Receivable sold immediately upon its creation pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) above, individually, a “Sold Receivable” and, collectively, the “Sold Receivables”).

(c)                                  Payment of Sale Price.  (i)  In consideration for each Sale of Sold Receivables hereunder, Buyer shall pay to the Originator thereof on the Transfer Date therefor the applicable Sale Price therefor in Dollars in immediately available funds.  All cash payments by Buyer under this Section 2.01(c)(i) shall be effected by means of a wire transfer on the day when due to such account or accounts as the Originators may designate from time to time.

(ii)                                  To the extent that the Sale Price of Sold Receivables exceeds the amount of cash then available to Buyer, the applicable Originator hereby agrees to make a subordinated loan (each, a “Subordinated Loan”) to Buyer in an amount not to exceed the lesser of (i) the amount of such excess in satisfaction of the equivalent portion of the Sale Price not paid in cash and (ii) the maximum Subordinated Loan that could be borrowed without rendering Buyer’s Net Worth less than the Required Capital Amount.  The Subordinated Loans of an Originator shall be evidenced by a subordinated promissory note substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.01(c)(ii) hereto (a “Subordinated Note”) executed by Buyer and payable to such Originator.  The Subordinated Loans shall bear interest and be payable as provided in the Subordinated Note.

(d)                                 Determination of Contributed Receivables.  Prior to the delivery of an Election Notice pursuant to this Section 2.01(d) on any Transfer Date the Member (i) may, by written notice to the Buyer, elect to treat the Receivables transferred by it on such date as a capital contribution to the Buyer, and (ii) hereby elects, on any Transfer Date on which the Buyer cannot pay the Sale Price therefore in cash or with Subordinated Loans, to treat the Receivables transferred by it on such date as a capital contribution to the Buyer (each Receivable that is the

2

subject of an election under clause (i) or (ii) hereof shall be a “Contributed Receivable”).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Member shall not be obligated or required at any time to make any capital contributions to Buyer and may by written notice to the Buyer, revoke its election under clause (ii) above.  On any Transfer Date on which the Buyer cannot pay the Sale Price for Receivables in cash or with Subordinated Loans to an Originator, and if such Originator is the Member, Member does not elect to make a capital contribution of such Receivable Originator shall elect to terminate sales and transfers of Receivables hereunder by sending a written notice to Buyer and, at any time the Funding Agreement remains outstanding, to the Administrative Agent (any such notice an “Election Notice”).

(e)                                  Ownership of Transferred Receivables.  On and after each Transfer Date and after giving effect to the Transfers to be made on each such date, Buyer shall own the Transferred Receivables and no Originator shall take any action inconsistent with such ownership nor shall any Originator claim any ownership interest in such Transferred Receivables.

(f)                                    Servicing of Receivables.  So long as no Event of Servicer Termination shall have occurred and be continuing and no Successor Servicer has assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Servicer pursuant to Section 9.02, the Servicer shall (i) conduct the servicing, administration and collection of the Transferred Receivables and shall take, or cause to be taken, all such actions as may be necessary or advisable to service, administer and collect the Transferred Receivables, all in accordance with (A) the terms of this Agreement, (B) customary and prudent servicing procedures for trade receivables of a similar type and (C) all applicable laws, rules and regulations, and (ii) hold all Contracts and other documents and incidents relating to the Transferred Receivables in trust for the benefit of Buyer, as the owner thereof, and for the sole purpose of facilitating the servicing of the Transferred Receivables in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  Buyer hereby instructs the Servicer, and the Servicer hereby acknowledges, that the Servicer shall hold all Contracts and other documents relating to such Transferred Receivables in trust for the benefit of the Buyer and the Servicer’s retention and possession of such Contracts and documents shall at all times be solely in a custodial capacity for the benefit of the Buyer and its assigns and pledgees.

Section 2.02.  Grant of Security Interest.  The parties hereto intend that each Transfer shall be absolute and shall constitute a purchase and sale or capital contribution, as applicable, and not a loan.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in addition to and not in derogation of any rights now or hereafter acquired by Buyer under Section 2.01 hereof, the parties hereto intend that this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law and if a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any transaction provided for herein constitutes a loan and not a sale or capital contribution, as applicable, that each Originator shall be deemed to have granted, and each Originator does hereby grant, to Buyer a continuing security interest in all of such Originator’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Receivables whether now owned or hereafter acquired by such Originator to secure the obligations of such Originator to Buyer hereunder (including, if and to the extent that any Transfer is recharacterized as a transfer for security under applicable law, the obligation to transfer ownership of the Receivables hereunder).

Section 2.03.  Originator Support Agreement.  The Parent hereby agrees that in the event that any of its Affiliates become parties to this Agreement as Originators, the Parent shall undertake and agree, to and for the benefit of Buyer, to cause the due and punctual performance

3

and observance by each such Originator of all of the terms, conditions, agreements and undertakings on the part of such Originator to be performed or observed by it hereunder or under any other Related Document and, in connection therewith, shall execute and deliver to Buyer an Originator Support Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 2.03, to more fully evidence such undertaking.

Section 2.04.  Originators Remain Liable.  It is expressly agreed by the Originators that, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Originator shall remain liable to the Obligor (and any other party to the related Contract) under any and all of the Receivables originated by it and under the Contracts therefor to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder.  Buyer shall not have any obligation or liability to the Obligor or any other party to the related Contract under any such Receivables or Contracts by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the granting herein of a Lien thereon or the receipt by Buyer of any payment relating thereto pursuant hereto.  The exercise by Buyer of any of its rights under this Agreement shall not release any Originator from any of its respective duties or obligations under any such Receivables or Contracts.  Buyer shall not be required or obligated in any manner to perform or fulfill any of the obligations of any Originator under or pursuant to any such Receivable or Contract, or to make any payment, or to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or the sufficiency of any performance by any party under any such Receivable or Contract, or to present or file any claims, or to take any action to collect or enforce any performance or the payment of any amounts that may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.

(ii)                                  None of the Transaction Parties has been notified that either the IRS, or any other Governmental Authority, has raised, or intends to raise, any adjustments with respect to Taxes of the Transaction Parties, which adjustments would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

in connection with any Plan, that would subject any Transaction Party to a material tax on prohibited transactions imposed by Section 502(i) of ERISA or Section 4975 of the IRC.

(p)                                 Nonapplicability of Bulk Sales Laws.  No transaction contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Related Documents requires compliance with any bulk sales act or similar law.

(q)                                 Investment Company Act Exemptions.  Each purchase of Transferred Receivables under this Agreement constitutes a purchase or other acquisition of notes, drafts, acceptances, open accounts receivable or other obligations representing part or all of the sales price of merchandise, insurance or services within the meaning of Section 3(c)(5) of the Investment Company Act.

(r)                                    Government Regulation.  No Transaction Party is subject to regulation under the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, the Federal Power Act, or any other federal or state statute that restricts or limits its ability to incur Debt or to perform its obligations hereunder or under any other Related Document.  The purchase or acquisition of the Transferred Receivables by Buyer hereunder, the application of the Sale Price therefor and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Related Documents will not

10

violate any provision of any such statute or any rule, regulation or order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

(s)                                  Notices to Obligors.  Each Transaction Party has directed all Obligors of Transferred Receivables originated by it to remit all payments with respect to such Receivables for deposit in a Lockbox or Collection Account.

25

United States Mail, registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, with proper postage prepaid, (b) upon transmission, when sent by email of the signed notice in PDF form or facsimile transmission (with such email or facsimile promptly confirmed by delivery of a copy by personal delivery or United States Mail as otherwise provided in this Section 6.01), (c) one Business Day after deposit with a reputable overnight courier with all charges prepaid or (d) when delivered, if hand-delivered by messenger, all of which shall be addressed to the party to be notified and sent to the address or facsimile number set forth below in this Section 6.01 or to such other address (or facsimile number) as may be substituted by notice given as herein provided:

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all notices to be provided to the Buyer hereunder shall be delivered to both the Buyer and the Administrative Agent under the Funding Agreement, and shall be effective only upon such delivery to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of the Funding Agreement.  The giving of any notice required hereunder may be waived in writing by the party entitled to receive such notice.  Failure or delay in delivering copies of any notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or other communication to any Person (other than Buyer) designated in any written communication provided hereunder to receive copies shall in no way adversely affect the effectiveness of such notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or other communication.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, whenever it is provided herein that a notice is to be given to any other party hereto by a specific time, such notice shall only be effective if actually received by such party prior to such time, and if such notice is received after such time or on a day other than a Business Day, such notice shall only be effective on the immediately succeeding Business Day.

Section 6.02.  No Waiver; Remedies.  Buyer’s failure, at any time or times, to require strict performance by the Originators of any provision of this Agreement or any Receivables Assignment shall not waive, affect or diminish any right of Buyer thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance herewith or therewith.  Any suspension or waiver of any breach or default hereunder shall not suspend, waive or affect any other breach or default whether the same is prior or subsequent thereto and whether the same or of a different type.  None of the

26

undertakings, agreements, warranties, covenants and representations of any Originator contained in this Agreement or any Receivables Assignment, and no breach or default by any Originator hereunder or thereunder, shall be deemed to have been suspended or waived by Buyer unless such waiver or suspension is by an instrument in writing signed by an officer of or other duly authorized signatory of Buyer and directed to such Originator specifying such suspension or waiver.  Buyer’s rights and remedies under this Agreement shall be cumulative and nonexclusive of any other rights and remedies that Buyer may have under any other agreement, including the other Related Documents, by operation of law or otherwise.  Recourse to the Receivables shall not be required.

Section 6.03.  Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of each Originator, Servicer and Buyer and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except as otherwise provided herein.  No Originator nor the Servicer may assign, transfer, hypothecate or otherwise convey its obligations or duties hereunder without the prior express written consent of Buyer.  Any such purported assignment, transfer, hypothecation or other conveyance by any Originator without the prior express written consent of Buyer, shall be void.  Each Originator and the Servicer acknowledges that Buyer may assign its rights granted hereunder, including the benefit of any indemnities under Article V, and upon such assignment, such assignee shall have, to the extent of such assignment, all rights of Buyer hereunder and, to the extent permitted under the Funding Agreement, may in turn assign such rights.  Each Originator and the Servicer agrees that, upon any such assignment, such assignee may enforce directly, without joinder of Buyer, the rights set forth in this Agreement.  All such assignees, including parties to the Funding Agreement in the case of any assignment to such parties, shall be third party beneficiaries of, and shall be entitled to enforce Buyer’s rights and remedies under, this Agreement to the same extent as Buyer or any of its designated representatives may do.  The terms and provisions of this Agreement are for the purpose of defining the relative rights and obligations of each Originator, the Servicer and Buyer with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and, except for the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, no Person shall be a third party beneficiary of any of the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

Section 6.04.  Termination; Survival of Obligations.

(a)           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 the later of (i) the Termination Date and (ii) the date on which Buyer and Originators enter into a written agreement providing for the termination of their rights and obligations hereunder..

(b)           Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in any other Related Document, no termination or cancellation (regardless of cause or procedure) of any commitment made by Buyer under this Agreement shall in any way affect or impair the obligations, duties and liabilities of any Originator or the rights of Buyer relating to any unpaid portion of any and all recourse and indemnity obligations of such Originator to Buyer, including those set forth in Sections 4.04, 5.01, 6.12, 6.14 and 6.15, due or not due, liquidated, contingent or unliquidated or any transaction or event occurring prior to such termination, or any transaction or event, the performance of which is required after the Commitment Termination Date.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in any other Related Document, all undertakings, agreements, covenants, warranties and representations of or binding upon each Originator, and all rights of

27

Buyer hereunder, all as contained in the Related Documents, shall not terminate or expire, but rather shall survive any such termination or cancellation and shall continue in full force and effect until the Termination Date; provided, that the rights and remedies pursuant to Sections 4.04, the indemnification and payment provisions of Article V, and the provisions of Sections 4.03(j), 6.03, 6.12, 6.14 and 6.15 shall be continuing and shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

Section 6.05.  Complete Agreement; Modification of Agreement.  This Agreement and the other Related Documents constitute the complete agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, supersede all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and may not be modified, altered or amended except as set forth in Section 6.06.

Section 6.06.  Amendments and Waivers.  No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Related Documents, or any consent to any departure by any Originator therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by each of the parties hereto; provided, that, prior to the Termination Date, no amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Related Documents, or any consent to any departure by any Originator therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent.  No consent or demand in any case shall, in itself, entitle any party to any other consent or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

Section 6.07.  Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a)           THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH RELATED DOCUMENT (EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY RELATED DOCUMENT EXPRESSLY PROVIDES TO THE CONTRARY) AND THE OBLIGATIONS ARISING HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS, INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE, BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (INCLUDING SECTION 5-1401 AND SECTION 5-1402 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAWS BUT OTHERWISE WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES), EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT THE PERFECTION, EFFECT OF PERFECTION OR PRIORITY OF THE INTERESTS OF THE BUYER IN THE RECEIVABLES OR REMEDIES HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER, IN RESPECT THEREOF, ARE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF A JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF NEW YORK, AND ANY APPLICABLE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

(b)           EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY CONSENTS AND AGREES THAT THE STATE OR FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN IN NEW YORK CITY SHALL HAVE JURISDICTION TO HEAR AND DETERMINE ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES BETWEEN THEM PERTAINING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR TO ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY RELATED DOCUMENT; PROVIDED, THAT EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY APPEALS FROM THOSE COURTS

28

MAY HAVE TO BE HEARD BY A COURT LOCATED OUTSIDE OF THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN IN NEW YORK CITY; PROVIDED, FURTHER, THAT NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED OR OPERATE TO PRECLUDE BUYER FROM BRINGING SUIT OR TAKING OTHER LEGAL ACTION IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION TO REALIZE ON THE RECEIVABLES OR ANY OTHER SECURITY FOR THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE ORIGINATORS ARISING HEREUNDER, OR TO ENFORCE A JUDGMENT OR OTHER COURT ORDER IN FAVOR OF BUYER.  EACH PARTY HERETO SUBMITS AND CONSENTS IN ADVANCE TO SUCH JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION OR SUIT COMMENCED IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE BASED UPON LACK OF PERSONAL JURISDICTION, IMPROPER VENUE OR FORUM NON CONVENIENS AND HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE GRANTING OF SUCH LEGAL OR EQUITABLE RELIEF AS IS DEEMED APPROPRIATE BY SUCH COURT.  EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF THE SUMMONS, COMPLAINT AND OTHER PROCESS ISSUED IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR SUIT AND AGREES THAT SERVICE OF SUCH SUMMONS, COMPLAINT AND OTHER PROCESS MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL ADDRESSED TO SUCH PARTY AT THE ADDRESS SET FORTH IN SECTION 6.01 HEREOF AND THAT SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE DEEMED COMPLETED UPON THE EARLIER OF SUCH PARTY’S ACTUAL RECEIPT THEREOF OR THREE DAYS AFTER DEPOSIT IN THE UNITED STATES MAIL, PROPER POSTAGE PREPAID.  NOTHING IN THIS SECTION SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO SERVE LEGAL PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW.

(c)           BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH COMPLEX FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED BY AN EXPERIENCED AND EXPERT PERSON AND THE PARTIES WISH APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS TO APPLY (RATHER THAN ARBITRATION RULES), THE PARTIES DESIRE THAT THEIR DISPUTES BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS.  THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION OF THE BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF ARBITRATION, THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED TO, OR INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED AMONG THEM IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY RELATED DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.

Section 6.08.  Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of separate counterparts, each of which shall collectively and separately constitute one agreement.

Section 6.09.  Severability.  Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such

29

provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

Section 6.10.  Section Titles.  The section titles and table of contents contained in this Agreement are provided for ease of reference only and shall be without substantive meaning or content of any kind whatsoever and are not a part of the agreement between the parties hereto.

Section 6.11.  No Setoff.  Each Originator’s obligations under this Agreement shall not be affected by any right of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right such Originator might have against Buyer, all of which rights are hereby expressly waived by such Originator.

Section 6.12.  Confidentiality.

(a)           Except to the extent otherwise required by applicable law, as reasonably believed to be appropriate to be filed publicly with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or unless each Affected Party shall otherwise consent in writing, each Originator, the Servicer and Buyer agree to maintain the confidentiality of this Agreement (and all drafts hereof and documents ancillary hereto) in its communications with third parties other than any Affected Party or any Buyer Indemnified Person and otherwise not to disclose, deliver or otherwise make available to any third party (other than its directors, officers, employees, accountants or counsel) the original or any copy of all or any part of this Agreement (or any draft hereof and documents ancillary hereto) except to an Affected Party, a Buyer Indemnified Person.

(b)           Each Originator and the Servicer agrees that it shall not (and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to) issue any news release or make any public announcement pertaining to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Related Documents without the prior written consent of Buyer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) unless such news release or public announcement is required by law, in which case such Originator or the Servicer shall consult with Buyer prior to the issuance of such news release or public announcement.  Any Originator or the Servicer may, however, disclose the general terms of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Related Documents to trade creditors, suppliers and other similarly-situated Persons so long as such disclosure is not in the form of a news release or public announcement.

(c)           Except to the extent otherwise required by applicable law, or in connection with any judicial or administrative proceedings, reasonably believed to be appropriate to be filed publicly with the Securities Exchange Commission, or unless the Originators and the Servicer otherwise consent in writing, the Buyer agrees (i) to maintain the confidentiality of (A) this Agreement (and all drafts hereof and documents ancillary hereto) and (B) all other confidential proprietary information with respect to the Originators, the Servicer and their respective Affiliates and each of their respective businesses obtained by the Buyer in connection with the structuring, negotiation and execution of the transactions contemplated herein and in the other documents ancillary hereto, in each case, in its communications with third parties other than any Originator or the Servicer, and (ii) not to disclose, deliver, or otherwise make available to any third party (other than its directors, officers, employees, accountants or counsel) the original or any copy of all or any part of this Agreement (or any draft hereof and documents ancillary

30

hereto) except to any Originator. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall be permitted to disclose copies of this Agreement and the confidential proprietary information described above to (1) each Affected Party and each Affected Party’s and their respective Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential and to not disclose or use such Information in violation of Regulation FD (17 C.F.R. § 243.100-243.103));  (2) any regulatory authority (it being understood that it will to the extent reasonably practicable provide the Originators and/or the Servicer with an opportunity to request confidential treatment from such regulatory authority), (3) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (4) to any other party to the Funding Agreement, (5) to the extent required in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Related Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (6) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to any assignee or pledgee of (or participant in), or any prospective assignee or pledgee of (or participant in), any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, (7) with the consent of the applicable Originator or Servicer or (8) to the extent such Agreement or other information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Buyer or Affected Party on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than Holdings or any Subsidiary thereof.

Section 6.13.  Further Assurances.

(a)           Each Originator shall, at its sole cost and expense, upon request of Buyer, promptly and duly execute and deliver any and all further instruments and documents and take such further actions that may be necessary or desirable or that Buyer may request to carry out more effectively the provisions and purposes of this Agreement or any other Related Document or to obtain the full benefits of this Agreement and of the rights and powers herein granted, including (i) using its best efforts to secure all consents and approvals necessary or appropriate for the assignment to or for the benefit of Buyer of any Transferred Receivable held by such Originator or in which such Originator has any rights not heretofore assigned, and (ii) filing any financing or continuation statements under the UCC with respect to the ownership interests or Liens granted hereunder or under any other Related Document.  Each Originator hereby authorizes Buyer, to file any such financing or continuation statements without the signature of such Originator to the extent permitted by applicable law.  A carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement or of any notice or financing statement covering the Transferred Receivables or any part thereof shall be sufficient as a notice or financing statement where permitted by law.  If any amount payable under or in connection with any of the Transferred Receivables is or shall become evidenced by any instrument, such instrument, other than checks and notes received in the ordinary course of business, shall be duly endorsed in a manner satisfactory to Buyer immediately upon such Originator’s receipt thereof and promptly delivered to Buyer.

(b)           If any Originator fails to perform any agreement or obligation under this Section 6.13, Buyer may (but shall not be required to) itself perform, or cause performance of, such

31

agreement or obligation, and the expenses of Buyer incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by such Originator upon demand of Buyer.

Section 6.14.  Fees and Expenses.  In addition to its indemnification obligations pursuant to Article V, each Originator agrees, jointly and severally, to pay on demand all Rating Agency fees and all costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Related Documents, including the fees and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Buyer, (including any such amounts owed by Buyer in connection with its financing of the Transfers hereunder), for counsel, advisors, consultants and auditors retained in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and advice in connection therewith, and each Originator agrees, jointly and severally, to pay all costs and expenses, if any (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses but excluding any costs of enforcement or collection of the Transferred Receivables), in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement and the other Related Documents.

Section 6.15.  Nonrecourse Obligations.  Notwithstanding any provision in any other Section of this Agreement to the contrary, any obligation of Buyer to pay any amounts payable to the Originators pursuant to this Agreement shall be paid pursuant hereto only if the Buyer has Excess Funds.  In the event that the Buyer does not have Excess Funds, the excess of the amounts due hereunder (and subject to this Section 6.15) over the amounts paid shall not constitute a “claim” under Section 101(5) of the Bankruptcy Code against Buyer until such time as the Buyer has Excess Funds.

ARTICLE VII

(a)           In the event that the Servicer is unable to determine the specific Transferred Receivables on which Collections have been received from the Obligor thereunder, the parties agree that such Collections shall be deemed to have been received on such Receivables in the order in which they were originated with respect to such Obligor.  In addition, if an Obligor is an obligor on Transferred Receivables and any other Receivables or indebtedness owed to any Originator, then, unless (i) otherwise required by applicable law or (ii) specified by the applicable Obligor in good faith and without direction of the Servicer, the Borrower or any member of the Parent Group with respect to the application of payments in respect of multiple Transferred Receivables owing by such Obligor, Collections on such Transferred Receivables or other Receivables or indebtedness shall be treated first, as a Collection of any Transferred Receivables of such Obligor, in the order in which they were originated, before being applied to any other Receivables or other indebtedness of such Obligor.  In the event that the Servicer is unable to determine the specific Transferred Receivables on which discounts, offsets or other non-cash reductions have been granted or made with respect to the Obligor thereunder, the parties agree for purposes of this Agreement only that such reductions shall be deemed to have been granted or made (i) prior to a Termination Event, on such Receivables as determined by the Servicer, and (ii) from and after the occurrence of a Termination Event, in the reverse order in which they were originated with respect to such Obligor.

(b)           If the Servicer determines that amounts unrelated to the Transferred Receivables (the “Unrelated Amounts”) have been deposited in any Account, then the Servicer shall provide written evidence thereof to the Buyer no later than the first Business Day following the day on which the Servicer had actual knowledge thereof, which evidence shall be provided in writing and shall be otherwise satisfactory to Buyer.

(c)           Authorization of the Servicer.  Buyer hereby authorizes the Servicer to take, solely in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policies, any and all reasonable steps in its name and on its behalf necessary or desirable and not inconsistent with the rights of the Buyer hereunder, in the determination of the Servicer, to (a) collect all amounts due under any Transferred Receivable, including endorsing the applicable name on checks and other instruments representing Collections on such Receivable, and execute and deliver any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation or of partial or full release or discharge and all other comparable instruments with respect to any such Receivable and (b) after any Transferred Receivable becomes a Delinquent Receivable or a Defaulted Receivable and to the extent permitted under and in compliance with applicable law and regulations, commence proceedings with respect to the enforcement of payment of any such Receivable and the Contract therefor and adjust, settle or compromise any payments due thereunder, in each case to the same extent as the applicable Originator could have done if it had continued to own such Receivable.  The Borrower shall furnish the Servicer with any powers of attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, at any time at which the Administrative Agent succeeds to, or upon the exercise of remedies with respect to, Buyer’s rights under this Agreement (in each case in accordance with the provisions of the Funding Agreement), the Administrative Agent shall also have the absolute and unlimited right to direct the Servicer (at the Servicer’s expense) (i) to commence or settle any legal action to enforce collection of any Transferred Receivable or (ii) to foreclose upon, repossess or take any other action that the Buyer deems necessary or advisable with respect thereto.  In no event shall the Servicer be entitled to make Buyer or any Affected Party a party to any Litigation without such Affected Party’s express prior written consent.

(d)           Servicing Fees.  As compensation for its servicing activities and as reimbursement for its reasonable expenses in connection therewith, the Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Servicing Fees monthly on each Settlement Date.  Such Servicing Fees shall be payable from available funds in accordance with Section 2.07 and 2.08 of the Funding Agreement.  The Servicer shall be required to pay for all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities hereunder (including any payments to accountants, counsel or any other Person) and shall not be entitled to any payment therefor other than the Servicing Fees.

(e)           Sales of Receivables.  The Buyer agrees that the Servicer, on behalf of the Buyer, may from time to time sell or otherwise transfer Transferred Receivables for which the applicable Obligor is a BK Obligor to a third party that is not an Affiliate of Holdings; provided, that, (i) until the Termination Date, no such transfers shall be permitted under this Section 7.03(e) if either a Termination Event or an Incipient Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing prior to or after the consummation of any such transfer, (ii) the Outstanding Balance of any Transferred Receivables sold or otherwise transferred pursuant to this Section 7.03(e) in any transaction shall not exceed $3,000,000, (iii) the aggregate Outstanding Balance of all Transferred Receivables sold or otherwise transferred pursuant to this Section 7.03(e) from and after the Closing Date shall not exceed $10,000,000, (iv) each sale or transfer of Transferred Receivables pursuant to this Section 7.03(e) shall be made without any recourse to the Buyer and (v) any buyer of any Transferred Receivables sold or otherwise transferred pursuant to this Section 7.03(e) shall agree in writing that, until the date that is one year plus one day following the date on which all Borrower Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash, such

(a)           The Servicer shall terminate its activities as Servicer hereunder in a manner that facilitates the transfer of servicing duties to the Successor Servicer and is otherwise acceptable to the Buyer and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall, at its own expense, timely deliver (i) any funds to the Administrative Agent that were required to be remitted to the Administrative Agent for deposit in the Agent Account under the Funding Agreement and (ii) all Servicing Records and other information with respect to the Transferred Receivables to the Successor Servicer at a place selected by the Successor Servicer.  The Servicer shall cooperate with the Successor Servicer in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the predecessor Servicer under this Agreement and shall account for all funds and shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may be required to vest and confirm in the Successor Servicer all rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Servicer.  All reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with transferring all files and other documents in respect of the Transferred Receivables to the Successor Servicer shall be for the account of the predecessor Servicer.

(b)           The Servicer shall terminate each existing Sub-Servicing Agreement and the Successor Servicer shall not be deemed to have assumed any of the Servicer’s interests therein or to have replaced the Servicer as a party thereto.

(c)           In the event that the Servicer is terminated as Servicer hereunder but no Successor Servicer has been appointed, the Servicer shall at the direction of Buyer with the consent of the Administrative Agent timely deliver to the Administrative Agent as assignee of Buyer or its designee, at a place designated by the Administrative Agent or such designee, copies of all Servicing Records and other information with respect to the Transferred Receivables which otherwise would be required to be delivered to the Successor Servicer under Section 9.03(a) above, and all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in

43

connection with transferring such files and other documents to the Administrative Agent shall be for the account of the predecessor Servicer.

Section 9.04.  Effect of Termination or Resignation.  Any termination of or resignation by the Servicer hereunder shall not affect any claims that the Buyer or its assigns may have against the Servicer for events or actions taken or not taken by the Servicer arising prior to any such termination or resignation.

Section 9.05.  Power of Attorney.  On the Closing Date, the Servicer shall execute and deliver a power of attorney in substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 9.05 (a “Power of Attorney”).  The Power of Attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until this Agreement has terminated in accordance with its terms and all of the Transferred Receivables have been indefeasibly paid or otherwise written off as uncollectible.  The powers conferred on the Buyer under each Power of Attorney are solely to protect the interests of the Buyer in the Transferred Receivables and the ability of the Successor Servicer to assume the servicing rights, powers and responsibilities of the Servicer hereunder and shall not impose any duty upon the Buyer or the Successor Servicer to exercise any such powers.

SUBORDINATED NOTE

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ RECEIVABLES II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to the order of [                                ], a [                                ] (the “Subordinated Lender”), or its assigns, at ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇  ▇▇▇▇▇, or at such other place as the holder of this Subordinated Note (“Note”) may designate from time to time in writing, in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds, the principal amount of [         ] DOLLARS [$         ], or, if less, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Subordinated Loans (as defined in the Sale Agreement referred to below) made to the Borrower, upon the earlier to occur of (i) Final Advance Date and (ii) the Termination Date (in each case, as defined in Annex X to the Sale Agreement referred to below), together with interest thereon from time to time from the Effective Date (as defined in the Sale Agreement referred to below) at the rate shown in The Wall Street Journal as the “Prime Rate” on such date (the “Interest Rate”) on the unpaid principal amount of each Subordinated Loan for the period commencing on and including the date of such Subordinated Loan to but excluding the date such Subordinated Loan is paid in full.

The date, amount and interest rate of each Subordinated Loan made by the Subordinated Lender to the Borrower, and each payment made by or on behalf of the Borrower on account of the principal thereof, shall be recorded by the Subordinated Lender on its books and, prior to any transfer of this Note, endorsed by the Subordinated Lender on the schedule attached hereto or any continuation thereof.  The books of the Subordinated Lender and such schedule shall be presumptive evidence of the amounts due and owing to the Subordinated Lender by the Borrower; provided, that any failure of the Subordinated Lender to record a notation in its books or on the schedule to this Note as aforesaid or any error in so recording shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay Subordinated Loans in accordance with their respective terms set forth herein.

All capitalized terms, unless otherwise defined herein, shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Receivables Sale and Servicing Agreement of even date herewith (as the same may be subsequently amended, restated or otherwise modified, the “Sale Agreement”) by and among the Borrower, the Subordinated Lender, the other Originators thereunder and ▇▇▇▇▇▇, Inc.  This Note is issued pursuant to the Sale Agreement and is one of the Subordinated Notes referred to therein.  All of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Sale Agreement and all other instruments evidencing the indebtedness hereunder, including the other Related Documents, are hereby made a part of this Note and are deemed incorporated herein in full.

The Borrower may at any time and from time to time voluntarily repay, in whole or in part, all Subordinated Loans made hereunder.  Any amount so repaid may, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, be reborrowed hereunder; provided, that all repayments of

Subordinated Loans or any portion thereof shall be made together with payment of all interest accrued on the amount repaid to (but excluding) the date of such repayment.

Interest shall be payable on the outstanding principal amount of this Note from time to time in arrears on the first Business Day of each calendar month.  All computations of interest shall be made by the Subordinated Lender on the basis of a 365 day year, in each case for the actual number of days occurring in the period for which such interest is payable.  The Interest Rate shall be determined (i) on the first Business Day immediately prior to the Effective Date for calculation of the Interest Rate for the period from the Effective Date through the end of the first calendar month following the Effective Date, and (ii) as of the last Business Day of each month for use in calculating the interest that is payable for the following calendar month, and the Interest Rate so determined shall be utilized for such calendar month.  Each determination by the Subordinated Lender of an interest rate hereunder shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Borrower (absent manifest error).  The Borrower shall pay interest at the applicable Interest Rate on unpaid interest on any Subordinated Loan or any installment thereof, and on any other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder (to the extent permitted by law) that shall not be paid in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) for the period commencing on the due date thereof to (but excluding) the date the same is indefeasibly paid in full.

If any payment or prepayment on this Note becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the Interest Rate during such extension.

As set forth below, the indebtedness evidenced by this Subordinated Note is subordinate in right of payment to all Borrower Obligations and all renewals, extensions, refinancings or refundings of any such obligations (whether for principal, interest (including but not limited to interest accruing after the filing of a petition initiating any bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership proceeding (each, an “Insolvency Proceeding”) whether or not such interest is allowed in such Insolvency Proceeding), fees, indemnities, repurchase price, expenses or otherwise) (collectively, the “Senior Obligations”).  The subordination provisions contained herein are for the direct benefit of, and may be enforced by, any holder of a Senior Obligation, and may not be terminated, amended or otherwise revoked until the Senior Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash and the Related Documents terminated in accordance with their respective terms. This Subordinated Note shall not be subject to any defense or any rights of set-off, including on account of any past or present debt.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Termination Event or Incipient Termination Event, the Subordinated Lender shall not demand, accelerate, ▇▇▇ for, take, receive or accept from the Borrower, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or any other manner (including, without limitation, from or by way of collateral) any payment of or security for all or any part of the indebtedness under this Subordinated Note or exercise any remedies or take any action or proceeding to enforce the same.  The Subordinated Lender hereby agrees that prior to the date that is one year and one day after all of the Senior Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash and the Related Documents terminated in accordance with their respective terms, the Subordinated Lender will not take any action to institute any Insolvency Proceeding in respect of the Borrower or which would be reasonably likely to cause the Borrower to be subject to, or seek the protection of, any such Insolvency Proceeding.

2

If the Borrower becomes subject to any Insolvency Proceeding, then the holders of the Senior Obligations shall receive payment in full of all amounts due or to become due on or with respect to the Senior Obligations before the Subordinated Lender shall be entitled to receive any payment on account of this Subordinated Note.  Accordingly, any payment or distribution of assets of the Borrower of any kind or character, whether in cash, securities or other property, in any applicable Insolvency Proceeding, that would otherwise be payable to or deliverable upon or with respect to any or all indebtedness under this Subordinated Note, is hereby assigned to and shall be paid or delivered by the person making such payment or delivery (whether a trustee in bankruptcy, a receiver, custodian or liquidating trustee or otherwise) directly to the Administrative Agent for application to, or as collateral for the payment of, the Senior Obligations until such Senior Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash.

In no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of advancement of the proceeds hereof or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to Subordinated Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of money advanced hereunder exceed the highest rate of interest permissible under law (the “Maximum Lawful Rate”).  In the event that a court of competent jurisdiction determines that Subordinated Lender has charged or received interest hereunder in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate, the amount of interest payable hereunder shall be equal to the amount payable under the Maximum Lawful Rate; provided, that if at any time thereafter the amount of interest payable to Subordinated Lender hereunder is less than the amount payable under the Maximum Lawful Rate, the Borrower shall continue to pay interest hereunder at the Maximum Lawful Rate until such time as the total interest received by Subordinated Lender from the making of Subordinated Loans hereunder is equal to the total interest that Subordinated Lender would have received had the amount of interest payable to Subordinated Lender hereunder been (but for the operation of this paragraph) the amount of interest payable from the Effective Date.  Thereafter, the amount of interest payable hereunder shall be the amount determined in accordance with the terms hereof unless and until the amount so calculated again exceeds the amount payable under the Maximum Lawful Rate, in which event this paragraph shall again apply.  In no event shall the total interest received by Subordinated Lender pursuant to the terms hereof exceed the amount that Lender could lawfully have received had the interest due hereunder been calculated for the full term hereof at the Maximum Lawful Rate.  In the event the amount payable under the Maximum Lawful Rate is calculated pursuant to this paragraph, such interest shall be calculated at a daily rate equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate divided by the number of days in the year in which such calculation is made.  In the event that a court of competent jurisdiction, notwithstanding the provisions of this Note, shall make a final determination that Subordinated Lender has received interest hereunder in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate, Subordinated Lender shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, promptly apply such excess first to any interest due and not yet paid hereunder, then to the outstanding principal amount of the Subordinated Loans, then to fees and any other unpaid charges, and thereafter shall refund any excess to the Borrower or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise order.

Wherever possible each provision of this Note shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Note shall be prohibited or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating the remainder of such provision or remaining provisions of this Note.

3

Time is of the essence of this Note.  To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower expressly waives presentment, demand, diligence, protest and all notices of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Note.

BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH COMPLEX FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED BY AN EXPERIENCED AND EXPERT PERSON AND THE PARTIES WISH APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS TO APPLY (RATHER THAN ARBITRATION RULES), THE PARTIES DESIRE THAT THEIR DISPUTES BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS.  THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION OF THE BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF ARBITRATION, THE BORROWER HERETO WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY RIGHTS OR REMEDIES UNDER THIS NOTE, THE SALE AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY, WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE.

THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (INCLUDING SECTION 5-1401 AND SECTION 5-1402 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAWS BUT OTHERWISE WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES), AND ANY APPLICABLE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Borrower has caused this Note to be signed and delivered by its duly authorized officer as of the date set forth above.

ORIGINATOR SUPPORT AGREEMENT

THIS ORIGINATOR SUPPORT AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is entered into as of [            ,        ], by ▇▇▇▇▇▇, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), in favor of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ RECEIVABLES II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“SPE”).

RECITALS

A.                                   SPE, as purchaser, has entered into a Receivables Sale and Servicing Agreement dated as of November 25, 2005 (as the same may from time to time be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, the “Sale Agreement”), with Parent, and the persons party thereto as “Originators.”  Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms or matters of construction defined or established Annex X to the Sale Agreement shall be applied herein as defined or established therein.

B.                                     It is a condition precedent to [            ] becoming a party to the Sale Agreement as an “Originator” that Parent, as owner, directly or indirectly, of at least 100% of the outstanding Stock having ordinary voting power to elect the board of directors of [            ] and each other Originator, shall have executed and delivered this Agreement.

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual covenants herein contained and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and in order to induce SPE to make purchases under the Sale Agreement, Parent hereby agrees as follows:

Section 1.  Unconditional Undertaking.  Parent hereby unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes and agrees with and for the benefit of SPE and the Administrative Agent (for itself and for the benefit of the Lenders and the Swing Line Lender) to cause the due and punctual performance and observance by the Servicer and each other Originator and their respective successors and assigns (collectively, the “▇▇▇▇▇▇ Entities”) of all of the terms, covenants, conditions, agreements and undertakings on the part of such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Entity to be performed or observed under the Sale Agreement or any document delivered by such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Entity in connection with the Sale Agreement, the Funding Agreement and the Related Documents in accordance with the terms thereof, including the punctual payment when due of all obligations of such ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Entity now or hereafter existing under the Sale Agreement whether for indemnification payments, fees, expenses or otherwise (such terms, covenants, conditions, agreements, undertakings and other obligations being the “Guaranteed Obligations”), and agrees to pay any and all reasonable and documented expenses (including reasonable and documented fees and expenses of attorneys, auditors and accountants) incurred by SPE and its assigns in enforcing any rights under this Agreement; provided, that the foregoing unconditional undertaking of Parent is not intended to, and shall not, constitute a guarantee of the collectibility or payment of the Transferred Receivables.  Parent agrees that each of its Subsidiaries that

becomes an “Originator” under the Sale Agreement shall be deemed to be an “Originator” for purposes of this Agreement.  In the event that any ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Entity shall fail in any manner whatsoever to perform or observe any of its Guaranteed Obligations when the same shall be required to be performed or observed under the Sale Agreement or any such other Related Document, then Parent will itself duly and punctually perform or observe, or cause to be duly and punctually performed or observed, such Guaranteed Obligations, and it shall not be a condition to the accrual of the obligation of Parent hereunder to perform or observe any Guaranteed Obligation (or to cause the same to be performed or observed) that SPE or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall have first made any request of or demand upon or given any notice to Parent or to any ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Entity or their respective successors or assigns, or have instituted any action or proceeding against Parent or any ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Entity or their respective successors or assigns in respect thereof.

Section 2.  Obligation Absolute.  Parent undertakes that the Guaranteed Obligations will be performed or paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the Sale Agreement or any other Related Document delivered by a ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Entity in connection with the Sale Agreement regardless of any law, regulation or order applicable to SPE now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of SPE or the Administrative Agent with respect thereto.  The obligations of Parent under this Agreement are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against Parent to enforce this Agreement, irrespective of whether any action is brought against any ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Entity or whether any ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Entity is joined in any such action or actions.  The liability of Parent under this Agreement shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:

(a)                                  any lack of validity or enforceability of the Sale Agreement or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;

(b)                                 any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from the Sale Agreement or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto, including, without limitation, any increase in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from additional purchases or contributions of Receivables or otherwise;

(c)                                  any taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of any collateral, or any taking, release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any guaranty, for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(d)                                 any manner of application of collateral, or proceeds thereof, to all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any manner of sale or other disposition of any collateral for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other assets of any ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Entity or any of its subsidiaries;

(e)                                  any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of any ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Entity or any of its subsidiaries; or

2

(f)                                    any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Entity or a guarantor.

This Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by SPE upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Entity or otherwise, all as though payment had not been made.

Section 3.  Waivers.  Parent hereby waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance and, except to the extent required under the Sale Agreement any other notice with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and this Agreement and any requirement that SPE protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien or any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against any ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Entity or any other person or entity or any collateral.

Section 4.  Subrogation.  Parent agrees not to exercise any rights that it may acquire by way of subrogation against any ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Entity and its property or any rights of indemnification, contribution and reimbursement from any ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Entity and its property, in each case in connection with this Agreement and any payments made hereunder, until such time as the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid and performed in full and the Termination Date has occurred.

Section 5.  Separate Identity from Buyer.  Parent shall itself, and shall ensure that each of its Affiliates, at all times comply with the covenants and agreements of the Originators set forth in Section 4.02(i) of the Sale Agreement as if Parent and each of its Affiliates were identified therein.  Parent is party to no agreements with SPE or the Administrative Agent other than pursuant to the Related Documents.

Section 6.  No Proceedings.  From and after the Closing Date and until the date one year plus one day following the date on which all Borrower Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash, Parent shall not, directly or indirectly, institute or cause to be instituted against SPE any proceeding of the type referred to in Sections 8.01(c) or 8.01(d) of the Sale Agreement.

Section 7.  Amendments and Waivers.  No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by Parent herefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by SPE and the Administrative Agent, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

Section 8.  Addresses for Notices.  All notices and other communications hereunder shall be sent in the manner provided in Section 6.01 of the Sale Agreement, which provisions are incorporated herein by this reference as though fully set forth herein.

Section 9.  No Waiver; Remedies.  No failure on the part of SPE or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any

3

other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.  The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

Section 10.  Continuing Agreement; Assignments under Sale Agreement.  This Agreement is a continuing agreement and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the Termination Date has occurred and the payment and performance in full of the Guaranteed Obligations and the payment of all other amounts payable under this Agreement, (b) be binding upon Parent, its successors and assigns, and (c) inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, SPE and its successors, transferees and assigns.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (c), if Buyer assigns all or any of the Transferred Receivables, or any interest therein, the assignees shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to SPE and the Administrative Agent herein or otherwise, including the rights to receive any notices hereunder, to consent to any waivers, amendments or other modifications of this Agreement, and/or to be reimbursed for any expenses in enforcing any rights hereunder.

Section 11.  Severability.  Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

Section 12.  GOVERNING LAW.  THIS AGREEMENT AND THE ORIGINATOR OBLIGATIONS ARISING HEREUNDER SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS, INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE, BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (INCLUDING SECTION 5-1401 AND SECTION 5-1402 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAWS BUT OTHERWISE WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES) AND ANY APPLICABLE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Parent has caused this Agreement to be duly executed and delivered by its officer thereunto duly authorized as of the date first above written.

Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Attorney (and all officers, employees or agents designated by Attorney), with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney in fact with full irrevocable power and authority in its place and stead and in its name or in Attorney’s own name, from time to time in Attorney’s discretion, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute and deliver any and all documents and instruments that may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of the Sale Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, hereby grants to Attorney the power and right, on its behalf, without notice to or assent by it, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Termination Event, to do the following:  (a) open mail for it, and ask, demand, collect, give acquittances and receipts for, take possession of, or endorse and receive payment of, any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances, or other instruments for the payment of moneys due in respect of Transferred Receivables, and sign and endorse any invoices, freight or express bills, bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications, and notices in connection with any Transferred Receivable or other Borrower Collateral; (b) pay or discharge any taxes, Liens, or other encumbrances levied or placed on or threatened against any Borrower Collateral; (c) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against it or any Borrower Collateral if the Grantor does not defend such suit, action or proceeding or if Attorney believes that it is not pursuing such defense in a manner that will maximize the recovery to Attorney, and settle, compromise or adjust any suit, action, or proceeding described above and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as Attorney may deem appropriate; (d) file or prosecute any claim, Litigation, suit or proceeding in any court of competent jurisdiction or before any arbitrator, or take any other action otherwise deemed appropriate by Attorney for the

SUPPLEMENTARY REPRESENTATIONS

In addition to the representations, warranties and covenants contained in Section 4.01 hereof, each Originator, hereby makes the following additional representations, warranties and covenants:

1.                                       Receivables.  Each Eligible Receivable constitutes an “account” or a “general intangible” within the meaning of the applicable UCC.

2.                                       Creation of Security Interest.  Immediately prior to their transfer thereof to the Buyer, the Originators owned and had good and marketable title to the Receivables free and clear of any Adverse Claim.  The Agreement creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in the Receivables, the Accounts and the Lockboxes in favor of the Buyer, which security interest is prior to all other Adverse Claims and is enforceable as such as against any creditors of and purchasers from the Originators.

3.                                       Perfection.  The Originators have caused the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect the sale of the Receivables from the Originators to the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement.

4.                                       Priority.

(a)                                  Other than the transfer of the Receivables by the Originators to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, no Originator  has pledged, assigned, sold, conveyed, or otherwise granted a security interest in any of the Receivables, the Accounts or the Lockboxes to any other Person.

(b)                                 No Originator has authorized, or is aware of, any filing of any financing statement against any Originator that include a description of collateral covering the Receivables or all other assets transferred to the Buyer hereunder, other than any financing statement filed pursuant to this Agreement and the Funding Agreement or financing statements that have been validly terminated on or prior to the date hereof.

(c)                                  No Originator is aware of any judgment, ERISA or tax lien filings against any Originator.

(d)                                 None of the Accounts or any of the Lockboxes are in the name of any Person other than the Borrower or the Administrative Agent.  No Originator has consented to any Bank complying with instructions of any person other than the Administrative Agent.

5.                                       Survival of Supplemental Representations.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other Related Document, the representations contained in this Schedule 4.01(z) shall be continuing, and remain in full force and effect until the termination of the Sale Agreement in accordance with Section 6.04 thereof.

6.                                       Originators to Maintain Perfection and Priority.  In order to evidence the interests of the Buyer under this Agreement, each Originator shall, from time to time take such action, or execute and deliver such instruments (other than filing financing statements) as may be necessary or advisable (including, such actions as are requested by the Buyer) to maintain and perfect, as a first-priority interest, the Buyer’s ownership and security interest in the Receivables and all other assets sold to the Buyer pursuant hereto.  Each Originator shall, from time to time and within the time limits established by law, prepare and present to the Buyer for the Buyer’s authorization and approval all financing statements, amendments, continuations or initial financing statements in lieu of a continuation statement in the, or other filings necessary to continue, maintain and perfect the Buyer’s ownership and security interest in the Receivables and all other assets sold to the Buyer pursuant hereto as a first-priority interest. The Buyer’s approval of such filings shall authorize the Originators to file such financing statements under the UCC without the signature of the Buyer where allowed by applicable law.  Notwithstanding anything else in the Related Documents to the contrary, neither the Servicer nor any Originator shall have any authority to file a termination, partial termination, release, partial release or any amendment that deletes the name of a debtor or excludes collateral of any such financing statements, without the prior written consent of the Buyer.

Capitalized terms used in this Annex Z and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in Annex X.

Rules of Construction Concerning Financial Tests.  Unless otherwise specifically provided therein, any accounting term used in any Related Document shall have the meaning customarily given such term in accordance with GAAP, and all financial computations thereunder shall be computed in accordance with GAAP consistently applied.  That certain items or computations are explicitly modified by the phrase “in accordance with GAAP” shall in no way be construed to limit the foregoing.  If any Accounting Changes occur and such changes result in a change in the calculation of the financial tests, standards or terms used in any Related Document, then the parties thereto agree to enter into negotiations in order to amend such provisions so as to equitably reflect such Accounting Changes with the desired result that the criteria for evaluating the financial condition of such Persons and their Subsidiaries shall be the same after such Accounting Changes as if such Accounting Changes had not been made.  If the parties thereto agree upon the required amendments thereto, then after appropriate amendments have been executed and the underlying Accounting Change with respect thereto has been implemented, any reference to GAAP contained therein shall, only to the extent of such Accounting Change, refer to GAAP consistently applied after giving effect to the implementation of such Accounting Change.  If such parties cannot agree upon the required amendments within 30 days following the date of implementation of any Accounting Change, then all financial statements delivered and all calculations of financial tests and other standards and terms in accordance with the Related Documents shall be prepared, delivered and made without regard to the underlying Accounting Change.
