          (a) any representation or warranty made by the Issuer under this Note Purchase Agreement, in any of the other Transaction Documents, in any Monthly Servicer Report or in any other written information or report delivered by the Issuer pursuant hereto or thereto, which shall have been false or incorrect in any respect when made or deemed made;

          (c) any dispute, claim, offset or defense (other than discharge in bankruptcy) of an Obligor to the payment of any Receivable (including, without limitation, a defense based on such Receivable or the related Loan not being the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Obligor enforceable against it in accordance with its terms);

          (g) the commingling by the Issuer of Collections at any time with other funds;

          (h) any investigation, litigation or proceeding related to this Note Purchase Agreement, any of the other Transaction Documents, the use of proceeds by the Issuer, the ownership directly or indirectly of the VFN or any interest in the Trust Estate;

          (i) any failure of the Issuer to give reasonably equivalent value to any Seller in consideration of the purchase by the Issuer from such Seller of any Receivable, or any attempt by any Person to void, rescind or set aside any such transfer under statutory provisions or common law or equitable action, including, without limitation, any provision of the Bankruptcy Code;

          (j) any action taken by the Issuer in the enforcement or collection of any portion of the Trust Estate;

     If for any reason the indemnification provided in this Section 8.01 is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or is insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless for the Issuer Indemnified Amounts, then the indemnifying party shall (subject to the exclusions set forth in the first sentence of this Section 8.01) contribute to the maximum amount payable or paid to such Indemnified Party as a result of the applicable claim, damage, expense, loss or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by such Indemnified Party on the one hand and the indemnifying party on the other hand, but also the relative fault of such Indemnified Party (if any) and the indemnifying party and any other relevant equitable considerations. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that all amounts payable under this Section 8.01 shall be payable by the Issuer solely to the extent funds are available therefor in accordance with the priority of payments set forth in Article V of the Base Indenture.

          SECTION 8.02 Indemnity for Reserves and Expenses. (a) If after the date hereof, the adoption of any law or bank regulatory guideline or any amendment or change in the

interpretation of any existing or future law or bank regulatory guideline by any Official Body charged with the administration, interpretation or application thereof, or the compliance with any directive of any Official Body (whether or not having the force of law), other than laws, interpretations, guidelines or directives relating to Taxes:

          (i) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement (including, without limitation, any such requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, the Funding Agent, any Purchaser or any other liquidity and/or credit support provider of any Conduit Purchaser (each, an “Affected Party”) or shall impose on any Affected Party or on the United States market for certificates of deposit or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Note Purchase Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, the ownership, maintenance or financing of the VFN, the Receivables, the Trust Estate or payments of amounts due hereunder or its obligation to advance funds hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents; or

          (ii) imposes upon any Affected Party any other expense deemed by such Affected Party to be material (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, and expenses of litigation or preparation therefor in contesting any of the foregoing) with respect to this Note Purchase Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, the ownership, maintenance or financing of the VFN, the Receivables, the Trust Estate, or payments of amounts due hereunder or its obligation to advance funds hereunder or otherwise in respect of this Note Purchase Agreement or the other Transaction Documents,

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Affected Party with respect to this Note Purchase Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, the ownership, maintenance or financing of the VFN, the Receivables, the Trust Estate, the obligations hereunder or the funding of any Increases hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents, by an amount reasonably deemed by such Affected Party to be material, then, on the first Settlement Date which is not less than ten (10) Business Days after demand by such Affected Party through the Funding Agent, the Issuer shall pay to such Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Party for such increased cost or reduction. In making demand hereunder, the applicable Affected Party shall submit to the Issuer a certificate as to such increased costs incurred which shall provide in detail the basis for such claim which certificate shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error; provided, however, that no such Affected Party shall be required to disclose any confidential or tax planning information in any such certificate. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that all amounts payable under this Section 8.02(a) shall be payable by the Issuer solely to the extent funds are available therefor in accordance with the priority of payments set forth in Article V of the Base Indenture.

          (b) If any Affected Party shall have determined that after the Closing Date, the adoption of any applicable law or bank regulatory guideline regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation thereof by any Official Body, or any directive regarding capital adequacy (in the case of any bank regulatory guideline, whether or not having the force of law) of any such Official Body, has or would have, due to an increase in the

amount of capital required to be maintained by such Affected Party, the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of such Affected Party as a consequence of such Affected Party’s obligations hereunder or with respect hereto to a level below that which such Affected Party could have achieved but for such adoption, change, request or directive (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount reasonably deemed by such Affected Party to be material, then from time to time, on the first Settlement Date which is not less than ten (10) Business Days after demand by such Affected Party through the Funding Agent, the Issuer shall pay to such Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Party for such reduction. For avoidance of doubt, any interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51 by the Financial Accounting Standards Board shall constitute an adoption, change, request or directive subject to this Section 9.2(b). In making demand hereunder, the applicable Affected Party shall submit to the Issuer a certificate as to such increased costs incurred which shall provide in detail the basis for such claim which certificate shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error; provided, however, that no such Affected Party shall be required to disclose any confidential or tax planning information in any such certificate. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that all amounts payable under this Section 8.02(b) shall be payable by the Issuer solely to the extent funds are available therefor in accordance with the priority of payments set forth in Article V of the Base Indenture.

          SECTION 8.03 Indemnity for Taxes. (a) All payments made by the Issuer to the Funding Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers under this Note Purchase Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future stamp or similar taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Official Body, excluding (i) taxes that would not have been imposed if the Affected Party had timely complied with the requirements of Section 8.03(b), and (ii) taxes imposed on the net income of the Funding Agent or any other Affected Party, in each case imposed by any jurisdiction under the laws of which the Funding Agent or such Affected Party is organized or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (all such nonexcluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, collectively or individually, “Taxes”). If any such Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the Funding Agent or any Affected Party hereunder, the amounts so payable to the Funding Agent or such Affected Party shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the Funding Agent or such Affected Party (after payment of all Taxes) all amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Note Purchase Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. The Issuer shall indemnify the Funding Agent or any such Affected Party for the full amount of any such Taxes on the first Settlement Date which is not less than ten (10) days after the date of written demand therefor by the Funding Agent.

          (b) Each Affected Party that is a Non-United States Person shall:

          (i) deliver to the Issuer and the Funding Agent two duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8 BEN or Form W-8 ECI, or successor applicable form, as the case may be;

          (ii) deliver to the Issuer and the Funding Agent two (2) further copies of any such form or certification on or before the date that any such form or certification

expires or becomes obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to the Issuer; and

          (iii) obtain such extensions of time for filing and complete such forms or certifications as may reasonably be requested by the Issuer or the Funding Agent;

unless, in any such case, an event (including, without limitation, any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which, regardless of the identity of the Affected Party, renders all such forms inapplicable or which, regardless of the identity of the Affected Party, would prevent such Affected Party from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it, and such Affected Party so advises the Issuer and the Funding Agent. Each such Affected Party so organized shall certify in the case of an IRS Form W-8 BEN or IRS Form W-8 ECI (or successor applicable form), that it is entitled to receive payments under this Note Purchase Agreement and the other Transaction Documents without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes. Each Affected Party which is a Non-United States Person represents and warrants to the Issuer and the Funding Agent that, as of the date of this Note Purchase Agreement (or the date such Person otherwise becomes an Affected Party, as the case may be), (i) it is entitled to receive all payments hereunder without deduction or withholding for or on account of any United States federal Taxes and (ii) it is permitted to take the actions described in the preceding sentence under the laws and any applicable double taxation treaties of the jurisdiction of its head office or any booking office used in connection with this Note Purchase Agreement. Each Affected Party which is a Non-United States Person further agrees that, to the extent any form claiming complete or partial exemption from withholding and deduction of United States federal Taxes delivered under this clause (b) is found to be incomplete or incorrect in any material respect, such Affected Party shall (to the extent it is permitted to do so under the laws and any double taxation treaties of the United States, the jurisdiction of its organization and the jurisdictions in which its relevant booking offices are located) execute and deliver to each of the Funding Agent and the Issuer a complete and correct replacement form.

          (c) Limitations. Each Affected Party agrees to use reasonable efforts to mitigate the imposition of any Taxes referred to in this Section 8.03, including changing the office of such Affected Party from which any Funding Tranche (or portion thereof) funded or maintained by such Affected Party or this Note Purchase Agreement is booked; provided that such reasonable efforts would not be disadvantageous to such Affected Party or result in the imposition of any additional Taxes upon such Affected Party or cause such Affected Party, in its good faith judgment, to violate one or more of its policies in order to avoid such imposition of Taxes. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that all amounts payable under this Section 8.03 shall be payable by the Issuer solely to the extent funds are available therefor in accordance with the priority of payments set forth in Article V of the Base Indenture.

          SECTION 8.04 Other Costs, Expenses and Related Matters. (a) The Issuer agrees, upon receipt of a written invoice, to pay or cause to be paid, and to hold the Funding Agent and the Purchasers harmless against liability for the payment of, all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’, accountants’ and other third parties’ fees and expenses, any filing fees and expenses incurred by officers or employees of the Funding Agent and/or the Purchasers) or intangible, documentary or recording

taxes incurred by or on behalf of the Funding Agent and the Purchasers (i) in connection with the negotiation, execution, delivery and preparation of this Note Purchase Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and any documents or instruments delivered pursuant hereto and thereto and the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including, without limitation, the perfection or protection of the Purchasers’ interest in the Trust Estate) and (ii) (A) relating to any amendments, waivers or consents under this Note Purchase Agreement, any Asset Purchase Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, (B) arising in connection with the Funding Agent’s or such Purchaser’s enforcement or preservation of rights (including the perfection and protection of the Purchasers’ interest in the Trust Estate under this Note Purchase Agreement and the other Transaction Documents), or (C) arising in connection with any audit, dispute, disagreement, litigation or preparation for litigation involving this Note Purchase Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that all amounts payable under this Section 8.04 shall be payable by the Issuer solely to the extent funds are available therefor in accordance with the priority of payments set forth in Article V of the Base Indenture.

          (b) The Funding Agent will notify the Issuer and the Servicer in writing of any event occurring after the date hereof which will entitle an Indemnified Party or Affected Party to compensation pursuant to this Article VIII. Any notice by the Funding Agent claiming compensation under this Article VIII and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, the Funding Agent or any applicable Indemnified Party or Affected Party may use any reasonable averaging and attributing methods.

          (c) If the Issuer is required to pay any additional amount to any Purchaser pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03, then such Purchaser shall use reasonable efforts (which shall not require such Purchaser to incur an unreimbursed loss or unreimbursed cost or expense or otherwise take any action inconsistent with its internal policies or legal or regulatory restrictions or suffer any disadvantage or burden reasonably deemed by it to be significant) to assign its rights and delegate and transfer its obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if such filing or assignment would reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03, as the case may be, in the future.

No failure on the part of any party hereto 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 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 10.04 Binding Effect; Assignability. (a) This Note Purchase Agreement shall be binding on the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that the Issuer may not assign any of its rights or delegate any of its duties hereunder or under any of the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party without the prior written consent of the Funding Agent. No provision of this Note Purchase Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall in any manner restrict the ability of any Purchaser to assign, participate, grant security interests in, or otherwise transfer any portion of its interest in the VFN (and its rights to receive any payments in respect thereof, including in connection with any collateral securing payment with respect to such VFN); provided, that any such transfer, participation or assignment shall only be made in compliance with the transfer restrictions set forth herein and in the Indenture; provided, further, that unless otherwise consented to by the Issuer, such transferee, participant or assignee shall have executed and delivered to the Issuer, the Trustee and the Funding Agent a Transfer Supplement (as defined in subsection (b) below), with such changes as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Issuer. Without limiting the foregoing, any Conduit Purchaser may, in one or a series of transactions, transfer all or any portion of its interest in the VFN, and its rights and obligations under the Transaction Documents to a Conduit Assignee, a Committed Purchaser or any bank or other financial institution providing liquidity or credit support to the Conduit Purchaser under the Asset Purchase Agreement.

          (b) Each Committed Purchaser may assign to one or more Persons (each an “Assignee Committed Purchaser”), reasonably acceptable to the Issuer and the Funding Agent a portion of such Purchaser’s commitment in respect of its Purchaser Percentage of the Maximum Funded Amount (for each such Purchaser, the “Commitment”) pursuant to a supplement hereto, substantially in the form of Exhibit C with any changes as have been approved by the parties thereto (a “Transfer Supplement”), executed by each such Assignee Committed Purchaser, the assignor Committed Purchaser, and the Funding Agent; provided, that any such transfer, participation or assignment shall only be made in compliance with the transfer restrictions set forth herein and in the Indenture. Any such assignment by a Committed Purchaser pursuant to this paragraph cannot be for an amount less than $10,000,000. Upon (i) the execution of the Transfer Supplement, (ii) delivery of an executed copy thereof to the Issuer and the Funding Agent and (iii) solely to the extent such assignor Committed Purchaser has any portion of the Aggregate Purchaser Funded Amount outstanding, payment by the Assignee Committed Purchaser to the assignor Committed Purchaser of the agreed purchase price, such assignor Committed Purchaser shall be released from its obligations hereunder to the extent of such

assignment and such Assignee Committed Purchaser shall for all purposes herein be a Committed Purchaser party hereto and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Committed Purchaser hereunder to the same extent as if it were an original party hereto. The amount of the Commitment of the assignor Committed Purchaser allocable to such Assignee Committed Purchaser shall be equal to the amount of the portion of the Commitment of the assignor Committed Purchaser transferred, regardless of the purchase price paid therefor. The Transfer Supplement shall be an amendment hereof only to the extent necessary to reflect the addition of such Assignee Committed Purchaser as an “Committed Purchaser” and any resulting adjustment of the assignor Committed Purchaser’s Commitment.

          (c) Any Purchaser may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more Persons (each, a “Participant”) participating interests in all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Note Purchase Agreements; provided, that any such transfer, participation or assignment shall only be made in compliance with the transfer restrictions set forth herein and in the Indenture. Notwithstanding any such sale by a Purchaser of participating interests to a Participant, such Purchaser’s rights and obligations under this Note Purchase Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Purchaser shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, and the other parties hereto shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Purchaser in connection with such Purchaser’s rights and obligations under this Note Purchase Agreement. Each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Article VIII; provided, however, that all amounts payable to any such Participant shall be limited to the amounts which would have been payable to the Purchaser selling such participating interest had such interest not been sold.

          (d) This Note Purchase Agreement shall create and constitute the continuing obligation of the parties hereto in accordance with its terms, and shall remain in full force and effect until such time as all amounts payable with respect to the VFN or hereunder shall have been paid in full.

          SECTION 10.05 Confidentiality. The Issuer shall maintain, and shall cause each officer, employee and agent of itself and its Affiliates to maintain, the confidentiality of the Transaction Documents and all other confidential proprietary information with respect to the Funding Agent and the Purchasers and each of their respective businesses obtained by them in connection with the structuring, negotiation and execution of the transactions contemplated herein and in the other Transaction Documents, except for information that has become publicly available or information disclosed (i) to legal counsel, accountants and other professional advisors to the Issuer and its Affiliates, (ii) as required by law, regulation, the requirements of the any self-regulating organization such as a stock exchange or legal process or (iii) in connection with any legal or regulatory proceeding to which the Issuer or any of its Affiliates is subject; it being understood, that solely with respect to the Base Indenture, the Issuer may distribute such Base Indenture to the holders of any Notes issued pursuant thereto from time to time. The Issuer hereby consents to the disclosure of any nonpublic information with respect to it received by the Funding Agent or any Purchaser from the Issuer or the Servicer to (i) any of the Purchasers or the Funding Agent, (ii) legal counsel, accountants and other professional advisors to the Funding Agent, the Purchasers or their Affiliates, (iii) as required by law, regulation or legal process, (iv) in connection with any legal or regulatory proceeding to which the Funding Agent, any Purchaser or any of their Affiliates is subject, (v) any nationally

recognized rating agency providing a rating or proposing to provide a rating to the Conduit Purchasers’ Commercial Paper or the VFN, (vi) any placement agent which proposes herein to offer and sell the Conduit Purchasers’ Commercial Paper, (vii) any provider of the Conduit Purchasers’ program-wide liquidity or credit support facilities, (viii) any potential Committed Purchaser or (ix) any participant or potential participant of the Commitment of any Committed Purchaser, the Trustee, any Enhancement Provider, any Secured Party, or any liquidity or credit support provider of a Conduit Purchaser; provided, that the Funding Agent and the Purchasers, as the case may be, shall advise any such recipient of information that the information they receive is nonpublic information and may not be disclosed or used for any other purposes other than that for which it is disclosed to such recipient without the prior written consent of the Issuer.

          SECTION 10.06 GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION. THIS NOTE PURCHASE AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS. EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS NOTE PURCHASE AGREEMENT HEREBY AGREES TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK AND ANY APPELLATE COURT HAVING JURISDICTION TO REVIEW THE JUDGMENTS THEREOF. EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION BASED ON FORUM NON CONVENIENS AND ANY OBJECTION TO VENUE OF ANY ACTION INSTITUTED HEREUNDER IN ANY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED COURTS AND CONSENTS TO THE GRANTING OF SUCH LEGAL OR EQUITABLE RELIEF AS IS DEEMED APPROPRIATE BY SUCH COURT.

          SECTION 10.07 Wavier of Trial by Jury. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each of the parties hereto irrevocably waives all right of trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim arising out of or in connection with this Note Purchase Agreement or any matter arising hereunder.

          SECTION 10.08 No Proceedings. The Issuer agrees that so long as any indebtedness of the Conduit Purchaser shall be outstanding or there shall not have elapsed one year plus one day since the last day on which any indebtedness of the Conduit Purchaser shall have been outstanding, it shall not file, or join in the filing of, a petition against such Conduit Purchaser under the Federal Bankruptcy Code, or join in the commencement of any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, liquidation or other similar proceeding against the Conduit Purchaser.

          SECTION 10.09 Execution in Counterparts. This Note Purchase Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

          SECTION 10.10 No Recourse. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the obligations of the Purchasers under this Note Purchase Agreement are solely the corporate obligations of the Purchasers and, in the case of obligations of the Conduit Purchaser other than Commercial Paper, shall be payable at such time as funds are actually received by, or are available to, the Conduit Purchaser in excess of funds necessary to pay in full

all outstanding Commercial Paper and, to the extent funds are not available to pay such obligations, the claims relating thereto shall not constitute a claim against the Conduit Purchaser but shall continue to accrue. Each party hereto agrees that the payment of any claim (as defined in Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code) of any such party shall be subordinated to the payment in full of all Commercial Paper.

     No recourse under any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Conduit Purchaser contained in this Note Purchase Agreement shall be had against any incorporator, stockholder, officer, director, member, manager, employee or agent of the Conduit Purchaser (solely by virtue of such capacity) by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, by virtue of any statute or otherwise; it being expressly agreed and understood that this Note Purchase Agreement is solely a corporate obligation of the Conduit Purchaser, and that no personal liability whatever shall attach to or be incurred by any incorporator, stockholder, officer, director, member, manager, employee or agent of the Conduit Purchaser (solely by virtue of such capacity) or any of them under or by reason of any of the obligations, covenants or agreements of the Conduit Purchaser contained in this Note Purchase Agreement, or implied therefrom, and that any and all personal liability for breaches by the Conduit Purchaser of any of such obligations, covenants or agreements, either at common law or at equity, or by statute, rule or regulation, of every such incorporator, stockholder, officer, director, member, manager, employee or agent is hereby expressly waived as a condition of and in consideration for the execution of this Note Purchase Agreement; provided that the foregoing shall not relieve any such Person from any liability it might otherwise have as a result of fraudulent actions taken by them.

          SECTION 10.11 Survival. All representations, warranties, covenants, guaranties and indemnifications contained in this Note Purchase Agreement, and in any document, certificate or statement delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall survive the sale, transfer or repayment of the VFN.

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Note Purchase Agreement to be executed by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized, as of the date first above written.
