Each repurchase or purchase of a Transferred Receivable shall include the Related Security with respect to such Transferred Receivable. The proceeds of any such repurchase or purchase, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be a Collection in respect of such Transferred Receivable.

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

(b) On the 15th day of each month (or, if such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day), the Collection Agent shall prepare and forward to the Purchaser a Seller Report relating to the Receivables outstanding on the last day of the immediately preceding month.

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

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as IR Company is acting (i) as the Collection Agent hereunder and (ii) as the “Collection Agent” pursuant to the terms of the Secondary Purchase Agreement, the Tertiary Purchase Agreement and the RIPA, amounts paid as the “Collection Agent Fee” pursuant to Section 6.03(a) of the Secondary Purchase Agreement, Section 6.03(a) of the Tertiary Purchase Agreement and Section 2.05(a) of the RIPA which are allocable to the Receivables, as such term is defined in this Agreement, shall reduce, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, but without duplication, the obligation of the Purchaser to pay the Collection Agent Fee pursuant to this Section 6.03; provided that such obligation of the Purchaser shall in no event be reduced below zero.

SECTION 6.04. Certain Rights of the Purchaser. (a) The Purchaser is authorized at any time when the long term public senior unsecured non-credit-enhanced debt securities of the Undertaking Party are rated below BB by S&P or below Ba2 by Moody’s or no such debt rating by S&P or ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ is available or an Event of Termination or Incipient Event of Termination has occurred and is continuing to (i) at the Seller’s expense, require the Seller to notify each Obligor of Transferred Receivables of the ownership of Transferred Receivables under this Agreement and direct that payments be made directly to the Purchaser or its assigns or designees, and (ii) if the Seller has not so notified and directed each Obligor within three Business Days of the Purchaser’s request, notify each Obligor of Transferred Receivables of the ownership of Transferred Receivables under this Agreement and direct the Obligors of Transferred Receivables that all payments thereunder be made directly to the Purchaser or its assigns or designees; provided, however, that prior to the RIPA Final Payment Date, the Purchaser shall not take any action pursuant to this sentence without the prior written consent of the Program Agent. The Seller hereby transfers to the Purchaser (and its assigns and designees) the exclusive ownership and control of the Lock-Box Accounts maintained by the Seller for the purpose of receiving Collections.

(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Collection Agent Default:

(i) At the Purchaser’s request and at the Seller’s expense, the Seller and the Collection Agent shall (A) assemble all of the documents, instruments and other records (including, without limitation, computer tapes and disks) that evidence or relate to the Transferred Receivables, and the related Contracts and Related Security, or that are otherwise necessary or desirable to collect the Transferred Receivables, and shall make the same available to the Purchaser at a place selected by the Purchaser or its assignees, and (B) segregate all cash, checks and other instruments received by it from time to time constituting Collections of Transferred Receivables in a manner acceptable to the Purchaser and, promptly upon receipt, remit all such cash, checks and instruments, duly indorsed or with duly executed instruments of transfer, to the Purchaser or its assignees. The Purchaser shall also have the right to make copies of all such documents, instruments and other records at any time.

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

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

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

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

(d) The Seller hereby grants to the Collection Agent an irrevocable power of attorney, with full power of substitution, coupled with an interest, to take in the name of the Seller all steps necessary or advisable to endorse, negotiate or otherwise realize on any writing or other right of any kind held or transmitted by the Seller or transmitted or received by the Purchaser (whether or not from the Seller) in connection with any Transferred Receivable.

SECTION 6.06. Transfer of Records to Purchaser. Each Purchase and contribution of Receivables hereunder shall include the transfer to the Purchaser of all of the Seller’s right and title to and interest in the records relating to such Receivables and shall include an irrevocable non-exclusive license to the use of the Seller’s computer software system to access and create such records (but, in the case of any such license of any portion of the Seller’s computer software system which itself is licensed to the Seller from any Person which is not an Affiliate of the Seller, only to the extent that the grant of such license to the Purchaser does not violate the license agreement between the Seller and such non-Affiliated Person regarding the use of such portion of such computer software system). Such license shall be without royalty or payment of any kind, is coupled with an interest, and shall be irrevocable until all of the Transferred Receivables are either collected in full or become Defaulted Receivables.

The Seller shall take such action requested by the Purchaser, from time to time hereafter, that may be necessary or appropriate to ensure that the Purchaser has an enforceable ownership interest in the records relating to the Transferred Receivables and rights (whether by ownership, license or sublicense) to the use of the Seller’s computer software system to access and create such records.

In recognition of the Seller’s need to have access to the records transferred to the Purchaser hereunder, the Purchaser hereby grants to the Seller an irrevocable license to access such records in connection with any activity arising in the ordinary course of the Seller’s business or (if the Seller is the Collection Agent or the subcontractor of the Collection Agent in such capacity) in performance of its duties as Collection Agent; provided that (i) the Seller shall not disrupt or otherwise interfere with the Purchaser’s use of and access to such records during such license period and (ii) the Seller consents to the assignment and delivery of the records (including any information contained therein relating to the Seller or its operations) to any assignees or transferees of the Purchaser provided they agree to hold such records confidential.

ARTICLE VII

EVENTS OF TERMINATION

SECTION 7.01. Events of Termination. If any of the following events (“Events of Termination”) shall occur and be continuing:

(a) The Collection Agent (if other than the Purchaser) (i) shall fail to perform or observe any term, covenant or agreement under this Agreement (other than as referred to in clause (ii), (iii) or (iv) of this subsection (a)) and such failure shall remain unremedied for three Business Days, (ii) shall fail to make when due any payment or deposit to be made by it under this Agreement, (iii) shall fail to perform or observe any term, covenant or agreement contained in Section 6.02(g), or (iv) shall fail to deliver any Seller Report when due and such failure shall remain unremedied for more than one Business Day; or

(c) Any representation or warranty made or deemed made by the Seller or the Collection Agent (or any of their respective officers) under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document delivered hereunder or any information or report delivered by the Seller or the Collection Agent pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document delivered hereunder shall prove to have been incorrect or untrue in any material respect when made or deemed made or delivered; or

(d) The Seller shall fail to perform or observe any other term, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement on its part to be performed or observed and any such failure shall remain unremedied for 10 Business Days after written notice thereof shall have been given to the Seller by the Purchaser or its assignees; or

(e) Any event or condition shall occur which results in the acceleration of the maturity of any Material Debt of the Seller, IR Parent or Parent; or

(f) Any Purchase or contribution of Receivables hereunder, the Related Security and the Collections with respect thereto shall for any reason cease to constitute valid and perfected ownership of such Receivables, Related Security and Collections free and clear of any Adverse Claim (it being agreed that any failure of any Underlying Inventory Security Interest to constitute a first priority security interest in the related inventory shall not, in and of itself, constitute an Event of Termination under this clause (f)); or

(g) IR Parent, Parent, the Seller or the Collection Agent (if other than the Purchaser) shall generally not pay its debts as such debts become due, or shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally, or shall make a general assignment for the

benefit of creditors; or any proceeding shall be instituted by or against IR Parent, Parent, the Seller or the Collection Agent (if other than the Purchaser) seeking to adjudicate it a bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking liquidation, winding up, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, protection, relief, or composition of it or its debts under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors, or seeking the entry of an order for relief or the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official for it or for any substantial part of its property and, in the case of any such proceeding instituted against IR Parent, Parent, the Seller or the Collection Agent (but not instituted by IR Parent, Parent, the Seller or the Collection Agent), either such proceeding shall remain undismissed or unstayed for a period of 60 days, or any of the actions sought in such proceeding (including, without limitation, the entry of an order for relief against, or the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official for, it or for any substantial part of its property) shall occur; or IR Parent, Parent, the Seller or the Collection Agent (if other than the Purchaser) shall take any corporate or limited liability company action, as applicable, to authorize any of the actions set forth above in this subsection (g); or

(h) An Event of Termination shall have occurred under the Secondary Purchase Agreement, the Tertiary Purchase Agreement or the RIPA; or

(i) There shall have occurred any event or circumstance which may materially adversely affect (i) the ability of the Seller or the Collection Agent to perform its respective obligations under this Agreement or any other documents required to be delivered by the Seller or the Collection Agent hereunder, (ii) the legality, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other documents required to be delivered by the Seller or the Collection Agent hereunder or (iii) the collectibility of the Receivables taken as a whole; or

(j) (i) The majority of the outstanding capital stock or other equity interests, including a majority of the outstanding capital stock or other equity interests having ordinary voting power in the election of directors, of the Seller shall cease to be owned, directly or indirectly, by Parent or (ii) Parent shall cease to have the power, directly or indirectly, to elect a majority of the directors of the Seller or (iii) all of the outstanding capital stock of Parent shall cease to be owned, directly or indirectly, by IR Parent; or

(k) [Intentionally omitted];

then, and in any such event, the Purchaser or its assignees may, by notice to the Seller, take either or both of the following actions: (x) declare the Facility Termination Date to have occurred (in which case the Facility Termination Date shall be deemed to have occurred) and (y) if such Event of Termination is a Collection Agent Default (but subject, prior to the RIPA Final Payment Date, to the designation made under the RIPA), designate another Person to succeed IR Company as Collection Agent; provided, that, automatically upon the occurrence of any event (without any requirement for the passage of time or the giving of notice) described in paragraph (g) of this Section 7.01, the Facility Termination Date shall occur. Upon any such declaration or designation or upon such automatic termination, the Purchaser shall have, in addition to the rights and remedies under this Agreement, all other rights and remedies with respect to the Receivables provided after default under the UCC and under other applicable law, which rights and remedies shall be cumulative.

ARTICLE VIII

INDEMNIFICATION

SECTION 8.01. Indemnities by the Seller. Without limiting any other rights which the Purchaser may have hereunder or under applicable law, the Seller hereby agrees to indemnify the Purchaser and its assigns and transferees and each of their respective officers, directors, employees and advisors (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all damages, claims, losses, liabilities and related costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements (all of the foregoing being collectively referred to as “Indemnified Amounts”), awarded against or incurred by any Indemnified Party arising out of or as a result of this Agreement or the purchase or contribution of any Transferred Receivables or in respect of any Transferred Receivable or any Contract, including, without limitation, arising out of or as a result of:

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

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

(iv) the sale by the Seller of any Receivable in violation of applicable laws, rules or regulations;

(v) the failure to vest in the Purchaser absolute ownership of the Receivables that are, or that purport to be, the subject of a Purchase or contribution under this Agreement and the Related Security and Collections in respect thereof, free and clear of any Adverse Claim (it being agreed that this clause (v) is not intended to be an indemnity for the failure of any Underlying Inventory Security Interest to constitute a first priority security interest in the related inventory);

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

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

(viii) any failure of the Seller, as Collection Agent, subcontractor of the Collection Agent or otherwise, to perform its duties or obligations in accordance with the provisions hereof or to perform its duties or obligations under any Contract related to a Transferred Receivable;

(ix) any products liability or other claim by an Obligor or other third party arising out of or in connection with merchandise, insurance or services which are the subject of any Contract;

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

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

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

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

(xv) any Transferred Receivable (in whole or in part) becoming a Diluted Receivable.

It is expressly agreed and understood by the parties hereto (i) that the foregoing indemnification is not intended to, and shall not, constitute a guarantee of the collectibility or payment of the Transferred Receivables and (ii) that nothing in this Section 8.01 shall require the Seller to indemnify any Person (A) for Receivables which are not collected, not paid or uncollectible on account of the insolvency, bankruptcy, or financial inability to pay of the applicable Obligor, (B) for damages, losses, claims or liabilities or related costs or expenses to the extent found in a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, or (C) for any income taxes or franchise taxes or withholding taxes (in the case of withholding taxes, other than due to changes in law) incurred by such Person arising out of or as a result of this Agreement or in respect of any Transferred Receivable or any Contract.

No failure on the part of the Purchaser 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.

(b) 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 such time, after the Facility Termination Date, when all of the Transferred Receivables are either collected in full or become Defaulted Receivables; provided, however, that rights and remedies with respect to any breach of any representation and warranty made by the Seller pursuant to Article IV and the provisions of Article VIII and Sections 9.04 and 9.06 shall be continuing and shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

(b) In addition, the Seller agrees to pay any and all stamp or other documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies, which arise from any payment made hereunder, and fees payable in connection with the execution, delivery, filing and recording of this Agreement or the other documents or agreements to be delivered hereunder, and the Seller agrees to save each Indemnified Party harmless from and against any liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay in paying or omission to pay such taxes and fees.
