B. The Borrower has been formed for the purpose of purchasing, or otherwise acquiring by capital contribution, Receivables of the Parent and the other Originators party to the Receivables Sale Agreement.

C. The Borrower intends to fund its purchases of the Receivables, in part, by borrowing Advances hereunder and pledging all of its right, title and interest in and to the Receivables and certain other assets as security therefor, and, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Conduit Lender and the Committed Lender intend to make such Advances, from time to time, as described herein.

D. The Administrative Agent has been requested and is willing to act as administrative agent on behalf of each of the Conduit Lender and the Committed Lender in connection with the making and financing of such Advances.

E. In order to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement, the Conduit Lender and the Committed Lender each desires to appoint the Parent to service, administer and collect the Receivables securing the Advances pursuant to this Agreement and the Parent is willing to act in such capacity as Servicer hereunder on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants hereinafter contained, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Section 1.01. Definitions. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to them in Annex X.

Section 1.02. Rules of Construction. For purposes of this Agreement, the rules of construction set forth in Annex X shall govern. All Appendices hereto, or expressly identified to this Agreement, are incorporated herein by reference and, taken together with this Agreement, shall constitute but a single agreement.

Section 2.01. Advances. (a) From and after the Closing Date and until the Facility Termination Date and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Conduit Lender (prior to the occurrence of a Redwood Termination Date or the Redwood Transfer Date) and the Committed Lender (after the occurrence of the Committed Lender Funding Event) severally agree to make advances (each such

advance hereunder, an "Advance") to the Borrower from time to time. Under no circumstances shall a Lender make any Advances if, after giving effect thereto, a Funding Excess would exist. The aggregate amount of Advances outstanding shall not exceed at any time (i) the Availability as determined by the most recent Borrowing Base Certificate delivered by the Borrower under Section 2.03(a) less (ii) Standby L/C Exposure at such time. Borrower may from time to time borrow, repay and reborrow Advances hereunder on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

(b) Borrower shall execute and deliver to each Lender a note to evidence the Advances which may be made hereunder from time to time by such Lender. The note shall be in the principal amount of the Maximum Facility Amount, dated the Closing Date and substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.01(b) (each, a "Revolving Note"). Each Revolving Note shall represent the obligation of Borrower to the applicable Lender to pay the amount of the Maximum Facility Amount or, if less, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Advances made by such Lender to Borrower together with interest thereon as prescribed in Section 2.06. The entire unpaid balance of all of the Advances and all other unpaid Borrower Secured Obligations shall be immediately due and payable in full in immediately available funds on the Facility Termination Date.

(a) So long as no Incipient Termination Event or Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower may, not more than twice during each calendar year, reduce the Maximum Facility Amount permanently; provided, that (i) the Borrower shall give ten Business Days' prior written notice of any such reduction to the Administrative Agent substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.02(a) (each such notice, a "Commitment Reduction Notice"), (ii) any partial reduction of the Maximum Facility Amount shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 or an integral multiple thereof, and (iii) no such reduction shall reduce the Maximum Facility Amount below the greater of (x) Outstanding Principal Amount and (y) $50,000,000.

(b) The Borrower may at any time on at least 90 days' prior written notice by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent irrevocably terminate the Maximum Facility Amount; provided, that (i) such notice of termination shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.02(b) (the "Commitment Termination Notice") and (ii) the Borrower shall reduce the Outstanding Principal Amount to zero and make all payments required by Section 2.03(c) at the time and in the manner specified therein. Upon such termination, the Borrower's right to request that any Lender make Advances hereunder shall simultaneously terminate and the Facility Termination Date shall automatically occur.

(c) Each written notice required to be delivered pursuant to Sections 2.02(a) and (b) shall be irrevocable and shall be effective (i) on the day of receipt if received by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders not later than 4:00 p.m. (New York time) on any Business Day and (ii) on the immediately succeeding Business Day if received by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders after such time on such Business Day or if any such notice is received on a day other than a Business Day (regardless of the time of day such notice is received). Each such notice of termination or reduction shall specify, respectively, the amount of, or the amount of the proposed reduction in, the Maximum Facility Amount.

Section 2.03. Notices Relating to Increases and Reductions in the Outstanding Principal Amount.

(a) Not later than 12:00 noon (New York time) on each Business Day, the Borrower shall deliver to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent an Officer's Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.03(a) (each, a "Borrowing Base Certificate"). Funding Availability shall be determined by the Administrative Agent based on information related to the Borrower Collateral available to it, including (A) any information obtained in connection with any audit or reflected in the most recent Borrowing Base Certificate or (B) any other information that may be available to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent.

(b) Each Advance shall be made upon the provision of notice by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent in the manner provided herein. Any such notice must be given in writing so that it is received no later than 4:00 p.m. (New York time) (i) in respect of any Advance to be made by the Conduit Lender, on the Business Day immediately preceding the proposed Advance Date set forth therein and (ii) after the occurrence of a Committed Lender Funding Event, in respect of any Advance to be made by the Committed Lender on the Business Day immediately preceding the proposed Advance Date set forth therein. Each such notice (a "Borrowing Request") shall (x) be substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.03(b), (y) be irrevocable and (z) specify the amount of the requested increase in Outstanding Principal Amount (which shall be in a minimum amount of $500,000) and the proposed Advance Date (which shall be a Business Day), and shall include such other information as may be required by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent.

(c) The Borrower may at any time reduce the Outstanding Principal Amount; provided, that (i) the Borrower shall give one Business Day's prior written notice of any such reduction to the Administrative Agent substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.03(c) (each such notice, a "Repayment Notice"), (ii) each such notice shall be irrevocable, (iii) each such notice shall specify the amount of the requested reduction in the Outstanding Principal Amount and the proposed date of such reduction (which shall be a Business Day) and (iv) any such reduction must be accompanied by payment of (A) all Daily Yield accrued and unpaid on the Outstanding Principal Amount being reduced through but excluding the date of such reduction and (B) the costs, if any, required by Section 2.10. Any such notice of reduction must be received by the Administrative Agent no later than 4:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of the proposed reduction in the Outstanding Principal Amount.

(b) Repurchases of Transferred Receivables.

Lenders shall release their liens on and security interests in the Transferred Receivables being so repurchased.

Section 2.05. Facility Termination Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, no Lender shall have any obligation to make any Advances from and after the Facility Termination Date.

(a) The Borrower shall pay Daily Yield to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, for each day on which any Outstanding Principal Amount is outstanding, in the manner and at the times specified in Sections 6.03, 6.04 and 6.05.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall pay interest at the applicable Daily Yield Rate on unpaid Daily Yield 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.

(a) On or prior to the Closing Date, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of itself and the Lenders, the fees set forth in the Fee Letter that are payable on the Closing Date.

(b) On each Settlement Date, the Borrower shall pay to the Servicer or to the Successor Servicer, as applicable, the Servicing Fee or the Successor Servicing Fees and Expenses, respectively, in each case to the extent of available funds therefor as provided in Section 6.04.

(c) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Applicable Lender, an unused facility fee (the "Unused Facility Fee") equal to one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) per annum, calculated daily from the Closing Date until the Termination Date and payable monthly in arrears on the fifth Business Day of each month, commencing with the month of March 2001, on the amount by which the Maximum Facility Amount as in effect on such date exceeds the sum (without duplication) of the aggregate Outstanding Principal Amount and Standby L/C Exposure on such date, which fee shall be fully earned when payable and shall be non-refundable.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Sections 6.02, 6.03, 6.04 and 6.05, all payments with respect to the Outstanding Principal Amount and all payments of interest, fees and other amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (for its account or the account of the applicable Lenders, Affected Parties or Indemnified Persons) not later than 12:00 noon (New York time) on the due date therefor. Any such payment made on such date but after such time shall be deemed to have been made on, and interest shall continue to accrue and be payable thereon at the applicable Daily Yield Rate until, the next succeeding Business Day. If any such payment becomes due on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof will be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and interest thereon at the applicable Daily Yield Rate shall be payable during such extension.

(b) Any and all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made in accordance with this Section 2.08 without setoff or counterclaim and free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, excluding taxes imposed on or measured by the net income of any Affected Party by the jurisdictions under the laws of which such Affected Party is organized or by any political subdivisions thereof (such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges and withholdings being "Indemnified Taxes"). If the Borrower shall be

required by law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as much as shall be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.08) the Affected Party entitled to receive any such payment receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions, and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing or other authority in accordance with applicable law. Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Indemnified Taxes, the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof. The Borrower shall indemnify any Affected Party from and against, and, within ten days of demand therefor, pay any Affected Party for, the full amount of Indemnified Taxes (together with any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.08) paid by such Affected Party and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally asserted.

(a) If the Administrative Agent on behalf of any Affected Party shall have determined that the adoption after the date hereof of any law, treaty, governmental (or quasi-governmental) rule, regulation, guideline or order regarding capital adequacy, reserve requirements or similar requirements or compliance by such Affected Party with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy, reserve requirements or similar requirements (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority increases or would have the effect of increasing the amount of capital, reserves or other funds required to be maintained by such Affected Party against commitments made by it under this Agreement, any other Related Document or any Program Document and thereby reducing the rate of return on such Affected Party's capital as a consequence of its commitments hereunder or thereunder, then the Borrower shall from time to time upon demand by the Administrative Agent pay to the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Affected Party additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Affected Party for the Borrower's Share of such reduction together with interest thereon from the date of any such demand until payment in full at the applicable Daily Yield Rate. A certificate as to the amount of that reduction and showing the basis of the computation thereof submitted by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower shall be final, binding and conclusive on the parties hereto (absent manifest error) for all purposes.

(b) If, due to any Regulatory Change, there shall be any increase in the cost to any Affected Party of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any commitment hereunder, under any other Related Document or under any Program Document, including with respect to any Advances, Outstanding Principal Amount, Borrower LOC Draws or Liquidity Loans, or any reduction in any amount receivable by such Affected Party hereunder or thereunder, including with respect to any Advances, Outstanding Principal Amount, Borrower LOC Draws or Liquidity Loans (any such increase in cost or reduction in amounts receivable are hereinafter referred to as "Additional Costs"), then the Borrower shall, from time to time upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay to the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Affected Party additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Affected Party for the Borrower's Share of such Additional Costs together with interest thereon from the date demanded until payment in full thereof at the applicable Daily Yield Rate. Each Affected Party agrees that, as promptly as practicable after it becomes aware of any circumstance referred to above that would result in any such Additional Costs, it shall, to the extent not inconsistent with its internal policies of general application, use reasonable commercial efforts to minimize costs and expenses incurred by it and payable to it by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.09(b).

(c) Determinations by any Affected Party for purposes of this Section 2.09 of the effect of any Regulatory Change on its costs of making, funding or maintaining any commitments hereunder, under any other Related Document or under any Program Document or on amounts receivable by it hereunder or thereunder or of the additional amounts required to compensate such Affected Party in

respect of any Additional Costs shall be set forth in a written notice to the Borrower in reasonable detail and which is calculated the same as for comparable claims with respect to similarly situated sellers or borrowers of the Affected Party and shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Borrower (absent manifest error) for all purposes.

Section 2.10. Breakage Costs. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of either Lender, upon request of such Lender, such amount or amounts as shall compensate such Lender for any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender (as determined by such Lender) as a result of any reduction by the Borrower in the Outstanding Principal Amount (and accompanying loss of Daily Yield thereon) other than on the maturity date of the Commercial Paper (or other financing source) funding such Outstanding Principal Amount, which compensation shall include an amount equal to any loss or expense incurred by such Lender during the period from the date of such reduction to (but excluding) the maturity date of such Commercial Paper (or other financing source) if the rate of interest obtainable by such Lender upon the redeployment of funds in an amount equal to such reduction is less than the interest rate applicable to such Commercial Paper (or other financing source) (any such loss, cost or expense, "Breakage Costs"). The determination by such Lender of the amount of any such loss or expense shall be set forth in a written notice to the Borrower in reasonable detail and shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Borrower (absent manifest error) for all purposes.

Section 2.11. Funding Excess. On each Business Day during the Revolving Period and after completion of the disbursements specified in Section 6.03, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Servicer of any Funding Excess on such day, and the Borrower shall deposit the amount of such Funding Excess in the Collection Account by 12:00 noon (New York time) on the immediately succeeding Business Day.

To induce each Lender to make Advances from time to time and the Administrative Agent to take any action required to be performed by it hereunder, the Borrower makes the following representations and warranties to each Lender and the Administrative Agent, each and all of which shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement.

(a) Corporate Existence; Compliance with Law. The Borrower (i) is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation; (ii) is duly qualified to conduct business and is in good standing in each other jurisdiction where its ownership or lease of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification; (iii) has the requisite corporate power and authority and the legal right to own, pledge, mortgage or otherwise encumber and operate its properties, to lease the property it operates under lease, and to conduct its business, in each case, as now, heretofore and proposed to be conducted; (iv) has all licenses, permits, consents or approvals from or by, and has made all filings with, and has given all notices to, all Governmental Authorities having jurisdiction, to the extent required for such ownership, operation and conduct; (v) is in compliance with its charter and bylaws; and (vi) subject to specific representations set forth herein regarding labor, employment, ERISA, tax and other laws, is in compliance with all applicable provisions of law, except where the failure to comply, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

The exercise by each of the Borrower, the Lenders or the Administrative Agent of any of its rights and remedies under any Related Document to which it is a party, do not require the consent or approval of any Governmental Authority or any other Person (other than consents or approvals solely relating to or required to be obtained by a Lender or the Administrative Agent, and subject to the Bankruptcy Code), except those which will have been duly obtained, made or complied with prior to the Closing Date as provided in Section 3.01(b). On or prior to the Closing Date, each of the Related Documents to which the Borrower is a party shall have been duly executed and delivered by the Borrower and each such Related Document shall then constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower enforceable against it in accordance with its terms.

(d) No Litigation. No Litigation is now pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against the Borrower that (i) challenges the Borrower's right or power to enter into or perform any of its obligations under the Related Documents to which it is a party, or the validity or enforceability of any Related Document or any action taken thereunder, (ii) seeks to prevent the transfer, sale, pledge or contribution of any Receivable or the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated under this Agreement or the other Related Documents, or (iii), has a reasonable risk of being determined adversely to the Borrower and that, if so determined, could have a Material Adverse Effect.

Since the date of the Borrower's organization, no event has occurred with respect to the Borrower that alone or together with other events could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(g) Ownership of Property; Liens. None of the properties and assets (including the Transferred Receivables) of the Borrower are subject to any Adverse Claims, and there are no facts, circumstances or conditions known to the Borrower that may result in (i) with respect to the Transferred Receivables, any Adverse Claims (including Adverse Claims arising under environmental laws) and (ii) with respect to its other properties and assets, any Adverse Claims (including Adverse Claims arising under environmental laws). The Borrower has received all assignments, bills of sale and other documents, and has duly effected all recordings, filings and other actions necessary to establish, protect and perfect the Borrower's right, title and interest in and to the Transferred Receivables and its other properties and assets.

All information contained in this Agreement, any Borrowing Base Certificate or any of the other Related Documents, or any written statement furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower to either Lender or the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Related Documents is true and accurate in every material respect, and none of this Agreement, any Borrowing Base Certificate or any of the other Related Documents, or any written statement furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower to either Lender or the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Related Documents is misleading as a result of the failure to include therein a material fact.

(k) ERISA. The Borrower is in compliance with ERISA and has not incurred and does not expect to incur any liabilities (except for premium payments arising in the ordinary course of business) payable to the PBGC under ERISA.

(l) Brokers.

(m) Margin Regulations. The Borrower is not engaged in the business of extending credit for the purpose of "purchasing" or "carrying" any "margin security," as such terms are defined in Regulation U of the Federal Reserve Board as now and from time to time hereafter in effect (such securities being referred to herein as "Margin Stock"). The Borrower owns no Margin Stock, and no portion of the proceeds of the Advances made hereunder will be used, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock, for the purpose of reducing or retiring any Debt that was originally incurred to purchase or carry any Margin Stock or for any other purpose that might cause any portion of such proceeds to be considered a "purpose credit" within the meaning of Regulations T, U or X of the Federal Reserve Board. The Borrower will not take or permit to be taken any action that might cause any Related Document to violate any regulation of the Federal Reserve Board.

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

Agreement and the other Related Documents will not violate any provision of any such statute or any rule, regulation or order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

(p) Nonconsolidation. The Borrower is operated in such a manner that the separate corporate existence of the Borrower, on the one hand, and any member of the Parent Group, on the other hand, would not be disregarded in the event of the bankruptcy or insolvency of any member of the Parent Group and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(q) Deposit and Disbursement Accounts. Schedule 4.01(q) lists all banks and other financial institutions at which the Borrower maintains deposit or other bank accounts as of the Closing Date, including the Concentration Account, the Borrower Account and any Lockbox Accounts, and such schedule correctly identifies the name, address and telephone number of each depository, the name in which the account is held, a description of the purpose of the account, and the complete account number therefor.

Each Originator, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender 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, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall have the absolute and unlimited right to direct the Servicer (whether the Servicer is the Parent or otherwise) (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 Administrative Agent deems necessary or advisable with respect thereto; provided, that in lieu of commencing any such action or taking other enforcement action, the Servicer may, at its option, elect to pay to the Collection Account for the benefit of the Applicable Lenders, an amount equal to the Outstanding Balance of such Transferred Receivable.

Section 7.06. Representations and Warranties of the Servicer. To induce the Lenders to make Advances from time to time and the Administrative Agent to take any action required to be performed by it hereunder, the Servicer represents and warrants to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, which representation and warranty shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement:

(a) Corporate Existence; Compliance with Law.

On or prior to the Closing Date, each of the Related Documents to which the Servicer is a party shall have been duly executed and delivered by the Servicer and each such Related Document shall then constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Servicer enforceable against it in accordance with its terms.

(c) No Litigation. No Litigation is now pending or, to the knowledge of the Servicer, threatened against the Servicer that (i) challenges the Servicer's right or power to enter into or perform any of its obligations under the Related Documents to which it is a party, or the validity or enforceability of any Related Document or any action taken thereunder, (ii) seeks to prevent the transfer, sale, pledge or contribution of any Receivable or the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated under this Agreement or the other Related Documents, or (iii) has a reasonable risk of being determined adversely to the Servicer and that, if so determined, could have a Material Adverse Effect.

(d) Full Disclosure. No information contained in this Agreement, any Borrowing Base Certificate or any of the other Related Documents, or any written statement furnished by or on behalf of the Servicer to either Lender or the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Related Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits or will omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made.

The Borrower hereby certifies that (a) the benefits of the representations, warranties and covenants of each Selling Subsidiary made to the Parent under the Receivables Sale Agreement and made by the Parent to the Borrower under the Sale and Contribution Agreement have been assigned by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders hereunder; (b) the rights of the Borrower to require a capital contribution from the Parent or to require payment of a Rejected Amount from an Originator under either Sale Agreement may be enforced by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent; and (c) each of the Sale Agreements provides that the representations, warranties and covenants described in Sections 4.01, 4.02 and 4.03 thereof, the indemnification and payment provisions of Article V thereof and the provisions of Sections 4.03(j), 8.03 and 8.14 thereof shall survive the sale of the Transferred Receivables (and undivided percentage ownership interests therein) and the termination of the Sale Agreements and this Agreement.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Termination Event, the Borrower and the Servicer shall deliver and turn over such books and records to the Administrative Agent or its representatives at any time on demand of the Administrative Agent. Prior to the occurrence of a Termination Event and upon notice from the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Servicer shall permit any representative of the Administrative Agent to inspect such books and records and shall provide photocopies thereof to the Administrative Agent as more specifically set forth in Section 8.06(b).

Each of the Borrower and the Servicer shall, at its own expense, during normal business hours, from time to time upon one Business Day's prior notice as frequently as the Administrative Agent determines to be appropriate: (i) provide the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and any of their respective officers, employees and agents access to its properties (including properties utilized in connection with the collection, processing or servicing of the Transferred Receivables), facilities, advisors and employees (including officers) and to the Borrower Collateral, (ii) permit the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and any of their respective officers, employees and agents to inspect, audit and make extracts from its books and records, including all Records, (iii) permit the Lenders or the Administrative Agent and their respective officers, employees and agents to inspect, review and evaluate the Transferred Receivables and the Borrower Collateral and (iv) permit the Lenders or the Administrative Agent and their respective officers, employees and agents to discuss matters relating to the Transferred Receivables or its performance under this Agreement or the other

Related Documents or its affairs, finances and accounts with any of its officers, directors, employees, representatives or agents (in each case, with those persons having knowledge of such matters) and with its independent certified public accountants. If (A) an Incipient Termination Event or a Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing or (B) the Administrative Agent, in good faith, believes that an Incipient Termination Event or a Termination Event is imminent or deems any Lender's rights or interests in the Transferred Receivables, the Borrower Assigned Agreements or any other Borrower Collateral insecure, then each of the Borrower and the Servicer shall, at its own expense, provide such access at all times and without advance notice and provide the Lenders or the Administrative Agent with access to its suppliers and customers.

Except as otherwise provided in this Section 8.06(d), the Servicer shall continue to collect or cause to be collected, at its sole cost and expense, all amounts due or to become due to the Borrower under the Transferred Receivables, the Borrower Assigned Agreements and any other Borrower Collateral. In connection therewith, the Borrower and the Servicer shall take such action as it, and from and after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Termination Event, the Administrative Agent, may deem necessary or desirable to enforce collection of the Transferred Receivables, the Borrower Assigned Agreements and the other Borrower Collateral; provided, that the Borrower or the Servicer may, rather than commencing any such action or taking any other enforcement action, at its option, elect to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Applicable Lender (in accordance with its Advances), the Outstanding Balance of any such Transferred Receivable; provided further, that if (i) an Incipient Termination Event or a Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing or (ii) the Administrative Agent, in good faith believes that an Incipient Termination Event or a Termination Event is imminent or deems any Lender's rights or interests in the Transferred Receivables, the Borrower Assigned Agreements or any other Borrower Collateral insecure, then the Administrative Agent may, without prior notice to the Borrower or the Servicer, notify any Obligor under any Transferred Receivable or obligors under the Borrower Assigned Agreements of the assignment of such Transferred Receivables or Borrower Assigned Agreements, as the case may be, to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders hereunder and direct that payments of all amounts due or to become due to the Borrower thereunder be made directly to the Administrative Agent or any servicer, collection agent or lockbox or other account designated by the Administrative Agent and, upon such notification and at the sole cost and expense of the Borrower and the Servicer, the Administrative Agent may enforce collection of any such Transferred Receivable or the Borrower Assigned Agreements and adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof. The Administrative Agent shall provide prompt notice to the Borrower and the Servicer of any such notification of assignment or direction of payment to the Obligors under any Transferred Receivables.

Each of the Borrower and the Servicer shall (i) perform and observe all the terms and provisions of the Borrower Assigned Agreements to be performed or observed by it, maintain the Borrower Assigned Agreements in full force and effect, enforce the Borrower Assigned Agreements in accordance with their terms and take all action as may from time to time be requested by the Administrative Agent in order to accomplish the foregoing, and (ii) upon the request of and as directed by the Administrative Agent, make such demands and requests to any other party to the Borrower Assigned Agreements as are permitted to be made by the Borrower or the Servicer thereunder.

(f) License for Use of Software and Other Intellectual Property. Unless expressly prohibited by the licensor thereof or any provision of applicable law, if any, each of the Borrower and the Parent hereby grants to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders a license to use, without charge, the Borrower's and the Parent's computer programs, software, printouts and other computer materials, technical knowledge or processes, data bases, materials, trademarks, registered trademarks, trademark applications, service marks, registered service marks, service mark applications, patents, patent applications, trade names, rights of use of any name, labels fictitious names, inventions, designs, trade secrets, goodwill, registrations, copyrights, copyright applications, permits, licenses, franchises, customer lists, credit files, correspondence, and advertising materials or any property of a similar nature, as it pertains to the Borrower Collateral, or any rights to any of the foregoing, in the advertising for sale, and selling any of the Borrower Collateral, or exercising of any other remedies hereto, and each of the Borrower and the Parent agrees that its rights under all licenses and franchise agreements shall inure to the Administrative Agent's benefit (on behalf of itself and the Lenders).

If any Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing and the Administrative Agent shall have declared the Facility Termination Date to have occurred or the Facility Termination Date shall be deemed to have occurred pursuant to Section 9.01, then the Administrative Agent may exercise in respect of the Borrower Collateral, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies granted to it hereunder, under any other Related Document or under any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Borrower Secured Obligations or otherwise available to it, all of the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the UCC (such rights and remedies to be cumulative and nonexclusive), and, in addition, may take the following actions:

(a) The Administrative Agent may, without notice to the Borrower except as required by law and at any time or from time to time, charge, offset or otherwise apply amounts payable to the Borrower from the Collection Account, the Concentration Account, any Lockbox Account, the Retention Account or any part of such accounts in accordance with the priorities set forth in Sections 6.05 and 6.07 against all or any part of the Borrower Secured Obligations.

(b) The Administrative Agent may, without notice except as specified below, solicit and accept bids for and sell the Borrower Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any exchange, broker's board or any of the Lenders', or Agent's offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Administrative Agent may deem commercially reasonable. The Administrative Agent shall have the right to conduct such sales on the Borrower's premises or elsewhere and shall have the right to use any of the Borrower's premises without charge for such sales at such time or times as the Administrative Agent deems necessary or advisable. The Borrower agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten Business Days' notice to the Borrower of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Borrower Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Administrative Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for such sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Every such sale shall operate to divest all right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever of the Borrower in and to the Borrower Collateral so sold, and shall be a perpetual bar, both at law and in equity, against each Originator, the Borrower, any Person claiming the Borrower Collateral sold through any Originator or the Borrower, and their respective successors or assigns. The Administrative Agent shall deposit the net proceeds of any such sale in the Collection Account and such proceeds shall be disbursed in accordance with Section 6.05.

(c) Upon the completion of any sale under Section 10.01(b), the Borrower or the Servicer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the purchaser or purchasers at such sale on the date thereof, or within a reasonable time thereafter if it shall be impracticable to make immediate delivery, all of the Borrower Collateral sold on such date, but in any event full title and right of possession to such property shall vest in such purchaser or purchasers upon the completion of such sale. Nevertheless, if so requested by the Administrative Agent or by any such purchaser, the Borrower shall confirm any such sale or transfer by executing and delivering to such purchaser all proper instruments of conveyance and transfer and releases as may be designated in any such request.

(d) At any sale under Section 10.01(b), the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or any other Conduit Lender Secured Party may bid for and purchase the property offered for sale and, upon

compliance with the terms of sale, may hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability therefor.

(e) The Administrative Agent may exercise, at the sole cost and expense of the Borrower, any and all rights and remedies of the Borrower under or in connection with the Borrower Assigned Agreements or the other Borrower Collateral, including any and all rights of the Borrower to demand or otherwise require payment of any amount under, or performance of any provisions of, the Borrower Assigned Agreements.

Section 10.02. Exercise of Remedies. No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement and no course of dealing between any Originator, the Borrower or the Servicer, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, on the other hand, shall operate as a waiver of such right, power or privilege, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under this Agreement preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies under this Agreement are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently, and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that the Administrative Agent would otherwise have at law or in equity. No notice to or demand on any party hereto shall entitle such party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances, or constitute a waiver of the right of the party providing such notice or making such demand to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

Section 10.03. Power of Attorney. On the Closing Date, each of the Borrower and the Servicer shall execute and deliver a power of attorney substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 10.03 (each, a "Power of Attorney"). The power of attorney granted pursuant to each Power of Attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until all of the Borrower Secured Obligations are indefeasibly paid or otherwise satisfied in full. The powers conferred on the Administrative Agent under each Power of Attorney are solely to protect the Administrative Agent's and the Lenders' Liens upon and interests in the Borrower Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Administrative Agent to exercise any such powers. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall not be accountable for any amount other than amounts that the Administrative Agent actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers and none of the Administrative Agent's or any Lender's officers, directors, employees, agents or representatives shall be responsible to the Borrower or the Servicer for any act or failure to act, except in respect of damages attributable solely to their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

Section 10.04. Continuing Security Interest. This Agreement shall create a continuing Lien in the Borrower Collateral until the conditions to the release of the Liens of the Lender and the Administrative Agent thereon set forth in Section 6.07(b) have been satisfied.

Section 11.01. Servicer Not to Resign.

Any such determination shall (i) with respect to clause (a) above, be evidenced by an opinion of counsel to such effect and (ii) with respect to clause (b) above, be evidenced by an Officer's Certificate to such effect, in each case delivered to the Lender and the Administrative Agent. No such resignation shall become effective until a Successor Servicer shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Servicer in accordance with Section 11.02.

Section 11.02. Appointment of the Successor Servicer. In connection with the termination of the Servicer's responsibilities or the resignation by the Servicer under this Agreement pursuant to Sections 9.02 or 11.01, the Administrative Agent shall (a) succeed to and assume all of the Servicer's responsibilities, rights, duties and obligations as Servicer (but not in any other capacity, including specifically not the obligations of the Servicer set forth in Section 12.02) under this Agreement (and except that the Administrative Agent makes no representations and warranties pursuant to Section 4.02) and (b) may at any time appoint a successor servicer to the Servicer that shall be acceptable to the Administrative Agent and shall succeed to all rights and assume all of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the Servicer under this Agreement (the Administrative Agent, in such capacity, or such successor servicer being referred to as the "Successor Servicer"); provided, that the Successor Servicer shall have no responsibility for any actions of the Servicer prior to the date of its appointment or assumption of duties as Successor Servicer. In selecting a Successor Servicer, the Administrative Agent may obtain bids from any potential Successor Servicer and may agree to any bid it deems appropriate. The Successor Servicer shall accept its appointment by executing, acknowledging and delivering to the Administrative Agent an instrument in form and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent.

Section 11.03. Duties of the Servicer. The Servicer covenants and agrees that, following the appointment of, or assumption of duties by, a Successor Servicer:

The Servicer 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.

(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.

Section 11.04. Effect of Termination or Resignation. Any termination of or resignation by the Servicer hereunder shall not affect any claims that the Borrower, the Lenders, or the Administrative Agent may have against the Servicer for events or actions taken or not taken by the Servicer arising prior to any such termination or resignation.

(a) Without limiting any other rights that the Conduit Lender, the Committed Lender, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Liquidity Agent, any Liquidity Lender, the Letter of Credit Agent or any Letter of Credit Provider or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys, agents or representatives (each, an "Indemnified Person") may have hereunder or under applicable law, the Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person from and against any and all Indemnified Amounts that may be claimed or asserted against or incurred by any such Indemnified Person in connection with or arising out of the transactions contemplated under this Agreement or under any other Related Document or any actions or failures to act in connection therewith, including any and all legal costs and expenses arising out of or incurred in connection with disputes between or among any parties to any of the Related Documents; provided,

that the Borrower shall not be liable for any indemnification to an Indemnified Person to the extent that any such Indemnified Amount (x) results from (i) with respect to any Indemnified Person other than the Conduit Lender, such Indemnified Person's gross negligence or (ii) with respect to any Indemnified Person, such Indemnified Person's willful misconduct, in each case as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or (y) constitutes recourse for uncollectible or uncollected Transferred Receivables.

NO INDEMNIFIED PERSON SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE TO ANY OTHER PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER RELATED DOCUMENT, ANY SUCCESSOR, ASSIGNEE OR THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY OF SUCH PERSON OR ANY OTHER PERSON ASSERTING CLAIMS DERIVATIVELY THROUGH SUCH PARTY, FOR INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES THAT MAY BE ALLEGED AS A RESULT OF ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER.

(a) The Administrative Agent may take such action and carry out such functions under this Agreement as are authorized to be performed by it pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, any other Related Document or otherwise contemplated hereby or thereby or are reasonably incidental thereto; provided, that the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, and, other than the duties set forth in Section 13.02, any permissive right of the Administrative Agent hereunder shall not be construed as a duty.

Section 13.02. Reliance. None of the Administrative Agent, any of its Affiliates or any of their respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or the other Related Documents, except for damages solely caused by its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and notwithstanding any term or provision hereof to the contrary, the Borrower, the Servicer, the Conduit Lender and the Committed Lender hereby acknowledge and agree that the Administrative Agent (a) acts as agent hereunder for the Conduit Lender and the Committed Lender and has no duties or obligations to, shall incur no liabilities or obligations to, and does not act as an agent in any capacity for, the Borrower (other than, with respect to the Administrative Agent, under the Power of Attorney with respect to remedial actions) or the Originators, (b) may consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts, (c) makes no representation or warranty hereunder to any Affected Party and shall not be responsible to any such Person for any statements, representations or warranties made in or in connection with this Agreement or the other Related Documents, (d) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement, or the other Related Documents on the part of the Borrower, the Servicer, the Conduit Lender or the Committed Lender or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of the Borrower, the Servicer, the Conduit Lender or the Committed Lender, (e) shall not be responsible to the Borrower, the Servicer or any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or the other Related Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto, (f) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or the other Related Documents by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing believed by it to be genuine and signed, sent or communicated by the proper party or parties and (g) shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any notice or other communication hereunder and may rely on the accuracy of such facts or matters.

Section 13.03. GE Capital and Affiliates. GE Capital and its Affiliates may generally engage in any kind of business with any Obligor, the Originators, the Borrower, the Servicer, the Conduit Lender or the Committed Lender, any of their respective Affiliates and any Person who may do business with or own securities of such Persons or any of their respective Affiliates, all as if GE Capital were not the Administrative Agent and without the duty to account therefor to any Obligor, any Originator, the Borrower, the Servicer, any Lender or any other Person.

Section 14.01. Notices. Except as otherwise provided herein, whenever it is provided herein that any notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or other communication shall or may be given to or served upon any of the parties by any other parties, or whenever any of the parties desires to give or serve upon any other parties any communication with respect to this Agreement, each such notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or other communication shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been validly served, given or delivered (a) upon the earlier of actual receipt and three Business Days after deposit in the United States Mail, registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, with proper postage prepaid, (b) upon transmission, when sent by facsimile (with such facsimile promptly confirmed by delivery of a copy by personal delivery or United States Mail as

Failure or delay in delivering copies of any notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or other communication to any Person (other than the Conduit Lender, the Committed Lender and the Administrative Agent) designated in any written notice 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.

(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Servicer, the Conduit Lender, the Committed Lender and the Administrative Agent and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

Borrower Secured Obligations, 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 Facility 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 the Borrower or the Servicer, and all rights of any Affected Party 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 provided for herein with respect to any breach of any representation or warranty made by the Borrower or the Servicer pursuant to Article IV, the indemnification and payment provisions of Article XII and Sections 14.04, 14.05 and 14.06 shall be continuing and shall survive the Termination Date.

(a) The Borrower shall reimburse each Lender and the Administrative Agent for all out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation and preparation of this Agreement and the other Related Documents (including the reasonable fees and expenses of all of its special counsel, advisors, consultants and auditors retained in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby and advice in connection therewith). The Borrower shall reimburse the Conduit Lender, the Committed Lender and the Administrative Agent for all fees, costs and expenses, including the fees, costs and expenses of counsel or other advisors (including environmental and management consultants and appraisers) for advice, assistance, or other representation in connection with:

The Borrower may, however, disclose the general terms of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other 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.

Section 14.06. No Proceedings. Each of the Borrower and the Servicer hereby agrees that, from and after the Closing Date and until the date one year plus one day following the date on which the Commercial Paper with the latest maturity has been indefeasibly paid in full in cash, it will not, directly or indirectly, institute or cause to be instituted against the Conduit Lender or the Committed Lender any proceeding of the type referred to in Sections 9.01(d), 9.01(e) and 9.01(f).

Section 14.07. Complete Agreement; Modification of Agreement.

Section 14.09. No Waiver; Remedies. The failure by the Conduit Lender, the Committed Lender or the Administrative Agent, at any time or times, to require strict performance by the Borrower or the Servicer of any provision of this Agreement or any Receivables Assignment shall not waive, affect or diminish any right of any Lender or the Administrative Agent 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 undertakings, agreements, warranties, covenants and representations of the Borrower or the Servicer contained in this Agreement or any Receivables Assignment, and no breach or default by the Borrower or the Servicer hereunder or thereunder, shall be deemed to have been suspended or waived by any Lender or the Administrative Agent unless such waiver or suspension is by an instrument in writing signed by an officer of or other duly authorized signatory of the Conduit Lender, the Committed Lender, the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent and directed to the Borrower or the Servicer, as applicable, specifying such suspension or waiver. The rights and remedies of the Conduit Lender, the Committed Lender, the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent under this Agreement shall be cumulative and nonexclusive of any other rights and remedies that the Conduit Lender, the Committed Lender, the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent may have under any other agreement, including the other Related Documents, by operation of law or otherwise.

Section 14.10. GOVERNING LAW; CONSENT TO JURISDICTION; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

(a) THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH OTHER 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 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 ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT 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 EXCLUSIVE 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 OTHER RELATED DOCUMENT; PROVIDED, THAT EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY APPEALS FROM THOSE COURTS 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 ANY LENDER OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT FROM BRINGING SUIT OR TAKING OTHER LEGAL ACTION IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION TO REALIZE ON THE BORROWER COLLATERAL OR ANY OTHER SECURITY FOR THE BORROWER SECURED OBLIGATIONS, OR TO ENFORCE A JUDGMENT OR OTHER COURT ORDER IN FAVOR OF THE CONDUIT LENDER, THE COMMITTED LENDER OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT. 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 BENEATH ITS NAME ON THE SIGNATURE PAGES 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 OTHER RELATED DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.

Section 14.11. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of separate counterparts, each of which shall collectively and separately constitute one agreement.

Section 14.12. 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 14.13. Section Titles. The section titles and table of contents contained in this Agreement are 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 14.14. Limited Recourse. The obligations of the Conduit Lender and the Committed Lender under this Agreement and all Related Documents are solely the corporate obligations of each such Lender. No recourse shall be had for the payment of any amount owing in respect of Advances or for the payment of any fee hereunder or any other obligation or claim arising out of or based upon this Agreement or any other Related Document against any Stockholder, employee, officer, director, agent or incorporator of such Lender. Any accrued obligations owing by the Conduit Lender or the Committed Lender under this Agreement shall be payable by such Lender solely to the extent that funds are available therefor from time to time in accordance with the provisions of Article VI of this Agreement, and, with respect to the Conduit Lender, in accordance with Article VI of the Collateral Agent Agreement (and such accrued obligations shall not be extinguished until paid in full).

(a) Each of the Borrower and the Servicer shall, at its sole cost and expense, upon request of the Conduit Lender, the Committed Lender or the Administrative Agent, promptly and duly execute and deliver any and all further instruments and documents and take such further action that may be necessary or desirable or that the Conduit Lender, the Committed Lender or the Administrative Agent may request to (i) perfect, protect, preserve, continue and maintain fully the Liens granted to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement, (ii) enable the Conduit Lender, the Committed Lender or the Administrative Agent to exercise and enforce its rights under this Agreement or any of the other Related Documents or (iii) otherwise carry out more effectively the provisions and purposes of this Agreement or any other Related Document.

A carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement or of any notice or financing statement covering the Transferred Receivables, the Borrower Collateral or any part thereof shall be sufficient as a notice or financing statement where permitted by law.
