shall be obligated to make any Purchase if, after giving effect to such
Purchase, the aggregate outstanding Capital of such Member's Pro Rata Share of
Receivable Interests owned by such Purchaser Group, together with such Member's
Pro Rata Share of the aggregate outstanding "Capital" of "Receivable Interests"
owned by the Affiliated Purchaser of such Member's Purchaser Group, would exceed
such Member's Commitment; and PROVIDED, FURTHER, HOWEVER, that upon the
occurrence of a Special Event for any Purchaser, each such Member of such
Purchaser's Purchaser Group shall, automatically and permanently, cease to be
obligated to make any Purchase hereunder. Each Purchase shall be made by the
Members of the applicable Purchaser Group simultaneously and ratably in
accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares.
SECTION 2.02. MAKING PURCHASES. (a) Each Purchase of Receivable Interests
hereunder shall be made on notice from the Seller to each Group Managing Agent
and the Administrative Agent, given not later than 12:00 noon (
New York City
time) on the second Business Day before the date of such Purchase if the Bank
Rate for such Purchase is based on the Alternate Base Rate and on the fourth
Business Day before the date of such Purchase if the Bank Rate for such Purchase
is based on the Adjusted LIBO Rate. Each such notice of a proposed Purchase of
Receivable Interests by the applicable Purchaser Group shall be by telecopier to
the Administrative Agent and by electronic transmission to each Group Managing
Agent and the Administrative Agent, and shall specify (i) the requested
aggregate amount of such Purchase (which shall not be less than $10,000,000) to
be paid to the Seller, (ii) the date of such Purchase (which shall be a Business
Day), and (iii) the Bank Rate for such Purchase. On the date of each Purchase of
Receivable Interests by a Purchaser Group, each Member of such Purchaser Group
shall, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in ARTICLE III,
make available to the Seller its Pro Rata Share of the amount of the Capital of
the Receivable Interests being acquired in such Purchase by deposit of such Pro
Rata Share in same day funds to the Seller's Account (or to such other account
as the Seller may designate in writing from time to time).
10
(b) The Administrative Agent shall on the first day of each Settlement
Period for each Receivable Interest hereunder notify the Seller and each Member
of any Purchaser Group that owns such Receivable Interest or any interest
therein of the Bank Rate for such Settlement Period.
(c) Each notice of a Purchase delivered pursuant to SECTION 2.02(A) shall
be irrevocable and binding on the Seller. The Seller shall indemnify the Group
Managing Agent and each Member of any Purchaser Group against any actual loss or
expense incurred by such Group Managing Agent and/or such Member as a result of
any failure to fulfill on or before the date of any Purchase by such Purchaser
Group (as to which notice has been given pursuant to SECTION 2.02(A)) the
applicable conditions set forth in ARTICLE III, including, without limitation,
any actual loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment
of deposits or other funds acquired by such Group Managing Agent and/or such
Member to fund its Pro Rata Share of such Purchase when such Purchase, as a
result of such failure, is not made on such date.
(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a
Group Managing Agent or a Member prior to the date of any Purchase that a Member
will not make available to the Administrative Agent all or any portion of such
Member's Pro Rata Share of such Purchase, the Administrative Agent may assume
that each Member has made such Pro Rata Share available to the Administrative
Agent on the date of such Purchase in accordance with SECTION 2.02(A), and the
Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to
the Seller on such date a corresponding amount. However, if the Administrative
Agent has received such notice from such Group Managing Agent or Member, the
Administrative Agent may not make such assumption and may not make available to
the Seller on such date such corresponding amount. If and to the extent that any
Member shall not have made all or such portion available to the Administrative
Agent, such Member and the Seller severally agree to pay (to the extent not
repaid by the Seller or such Member, respectively) to the Administrative Agent
forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon,
for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Seller until the
date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of
the Seller, the Yield rate applicable to such amount and (ii) in the case of
such Member, the Federal Funds Rate. If such Member shall repay to the
Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall
constitute such Member's Pro Rata Share of such Purchase for purposes of this
Agreement.
(e) The failure of any Member to make available such Member's Pro Rata
Share of any Purchase shall not relieve any other Member of its obligation, if
any, hereunder to make available such other Member's Pro Rata Share of such
Purchase on the date of such Purchase, but no Member shall be responsible for
the failure of any other Member to make available such other Member's portion of
such Purchase on the date of any Purchase.
(f) Either the Seller or any Member, upon notice to and consent by the
other received at least three Business Days prior to the end of any Settlement
Period (the "TERMINATING SETTLEMENT PERIOD") for any Receivable Interest of such
Member, may, effective on the last day of the Terminating Settlement Period: (i)
divide any such Receivable Interest into multiple Receivable Interests, (ii)
combine any such Receivable Interest with one or more other Receivable Interests
that have a Settlement Period ending on the same day as such Terminating
11
Settlement Period or (iii) combine any such Receivable Interest with a new
Receivable Interest to be purchased by such Member on the day such Terminating
Settlement Period ends, PROVIDED, that in no event may a Receivable Interest of
any Member be combined with a Receivable Interest of any other Member.
SECTION 2.03. TERMINATION OR REDUCTION OF THE COMMITMENTS. (a) OPTIONAL.
The Seller may, upon at least five Business Days' notice to the Administrative
Agent and each Group Managing Agent, terminate in whole or reduce in part,
ratably for each Member, the unused portions of the Commitments of the Members;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that for purposes of this SECTION 2.03(A), the unused
portions of the Commitments of the Members shall be computed as the excess of
(i) the aggregate of the Commitments of the Members immediately prior to giving
effect to such termination or reduction over (ii) the sum of (A) the aggregate
Capital of Receivable Interests outstanding at the time of such computation and
(B) the aggregate "Capital" of "Receivable Interests" outstanding under the
Purchase Agreement at such time; and PROVIDED, FURTHER, that each such partial
reduction of the unused portions of the Commitments (i) shall be in an aggregate
amount equal to $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess
thereof and (ii) shall be made ratably among the Members in accordance with
their respective Commitments.
(b) MANDATORY. On each day on which the Seller shall, pursuant to SECTION
2.03(A) of the Purchase Agreement, reduce in part the unused portion of the
aggregate Purchase Limits, the aggregate Commitments shall automatically, and
ratably for the Members in accordance with their respective Commitments, reduce
by an equal amount. The aggregate Commitments shall automatically terminate in
whole on any day on which the Seller shall terminate in whole the aggregate
Purchase Limits under and pursuant to SECTION 2.03(A) of the Purchase Agreement.
SECTION 2.04. RECEIVABLE INTEREST. Each Receivable Interest shall be
initially computed as of the opening of business of the Servicer on the date of
Purchase of such Receivable Interest. Thereafter until the Termination Date,
such Receivable Interest shall be automatically recomputed as of the close of
business of the Servicer on each day (other than a Liquidation Day). Such
Receivable Interest shall remain constant from the time as of which any such
computation or recomputation is made until the time as of which the next such
recomputation, if any, shall be made. Any Receivable Interest, as computed as of
the day immediately preceding the Termination Date, shall remain constant at all
times on and after the Termination Date. Such Receivable Interest shall become
zero at such time as each Member owning any portion of such Receivable Interest
shall have received the accrued Yield for such Receivable Interest, shall have
recovered the Capital of such Receivable Interest, and shall have received
payment of the Fees and all other amounts payable by the Seller to such Member
or its Group Managing Agent, and the Servicer shall have received the accrued
Servicer Fee for such Receivable Interest. Upon any Receivable Interest becoming
zero as aforesaid, each Member owning any portion of such Receivable Interest
and the Administrative Agent, respectively, shall execute and deliver such
documents and take such action as the Seller may reasonably request to evidence
the termination of such Member's interest in the remaining Pool Receivables and
hereunder, including assignments to the Seller of such Member's interest in the
remaining Pool Receivables and UCC termination statements with respect thereto,
all without recourse to, or
12
representation or warranty by, such Member or its Group Managing Agent or the
Administrative Agent, as the case may be.
SECTION 2.05. NON-LIQUIDATION SETTLEMENT PROCEDURES. (a) Except as set
forth in subsection (d) of this SECTION 2.05, on each Business Day (other than a
Liquidation Day or a Provisional Liquidation Day) during any Daily Reporting
Period, the Servicer shall cause all those funds on deposit in the Lock-Box
Accounts that constitute Collections of Pool Receivables to be transferred
electronically in immediately available funds to the Concentration Account, and
shall, based on the Daily Report delivered by the Servicer to each Group
Managing Agent and the Administrative Agent on such Business Day pursuant to
SECTION 2.07(C), at that time and in the following order:
(i) allocate all Collections transferred to the Concentration
Account since receipt of the last such Daily Report either as Member
Collections or as Seller Collections;
(ii) for each Receivable Interest, out of such Member Collections
attributable to such Receivable Interest, cause the Concentration Bank to
transfer to the Deposit Account, to be held and invested by the
Administrative Agent pursuant to SECTION 6.06, the Cure Amount, if any,
for such Receivable Interest for such Business Day;
(iii) for each Receivable Interest, out of the remainder of such
Member Collections attributable to such Receivable Interest, set aside
and hold in trust (in accordance with the provisions of SECTION 6.02(B))
for the Member owning such Receivable Interest and the Servicer an amount
equal to the sum of (A) the Yield and Servicer Fee accrued through such
Business Day for such Receivable Interest and not previously so set aside
and (B) the aggregate of the Fees and any other amounts then accrued or
owed hereunder by the Seller to such Member or its Group Managing Agent
and not previously so set aside;
(iv) reinvest the remainder of such Member Collections, for the
benefit of the Member owning such Receivable Interest, by recomputation
of such Receivable Interest pursuant to SECTION 2.04 as of the end of
such Business Day and cause the Concentration Bank to transfer such
remainder for account of the Seller either to the Seller's Account or to
a deposit account of the Servicer; PROVIDED that, to the extent that any
Member of any Purchaser Group shall be required for any reason to pay
over any amount of Collections which shall have been previously
reinvested for the account of such Member pursuant to SECTION 2.04, such
amount shall be deemed not to have been so transferred but rather to have
been retained by the Seller and paid over for the account of such Member
and, notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, such Member
shall have a claim for such amount; and
(v) cause the Concentration Bank to transfer the Seller
Collections for account of the Seller either to the Seller's Account or
to a deposit account of the Servicer;
it being understood and agreed that if on any Business Day during any Daily
Reporting Period the Servicer shall fail to deliver the Daily Report for such
Business Day to each Group Managing
13
Agent and the Administrative Agent pursuant to SECTION 2.07(C), the Servicer
shall, until such Daily Report shall be so delivered, either hold all funds that
constitute Collections of Pool Receivables in the Concentration Account or, if
and to the extent that the Servicer shall be obligated to deposit such funds in
the Deposit Account pursuant to this SECTION 2.05(A), deposit such funds in the
Deposit Account.
If on any Business Day (other than a Settlement Date in respect of Capital)
during any Daily Reporting Period, the Servicer shall deliver to each Group
Managing Agent and the Administrative Agent, prior to 12:00 noon (New York City

Day, transfer by way of immediately available funds to the Concentration Account
funds equal to such Excess Amount.
On the Business Day that occurs two Business Days before the Settlement Date for
each Settlement Period for such Receivable Interest, the Servicer shall deposit

Interest the amounts set aside in respect of such Settlement Period as described
in clause (iii) of this SECTION 2.05(A). Upon receipt of such funds by the
Administrative Agent and on such Settlement Date, the Administrative Agent shall
distribute such funds and the Cure Deposited Amounts, if any, then held in the
Deposit Account and attributable to such Receivable Interest (i) to the Member
owning such Receivable Interest (A) in payment of the accrued Yield for such
Receivable Interest, (B) in reduction of Capital of such Receivable Interest in
the amount of the Cure Amount, if any, then in respect of such Receivable
Interest, and (C) in payment of the Fees and any other amounts then owed by the
Seller hereunder to such Member or its Group Managing Agent and (ii) to the
Servicer in payment of the accrued Servicer Fee payable with respect to such
Receivable Interest. If there shall be insufficient funds on deposit for the
Administrative Agent to distribute funds in payment in full of the
aforementioned amounts, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such funds,
FIRST, to the payment of the Servicer's out-of-pocket costs and expenses in
connection with servicing, administering and collecting the Pool Receivables, up
to the amount of the Servicer Fee, if WORLDCOM or one of its Affiliates is not
then acting as the Servicer, SECOND, in payment of the accrued Yield for such

during each Weekly Reporting Period, the Servicer shall cause all those funds on
deposit in the Lock-Box Accounts that constitute Collections of Pool Receivables
to be transferred electronically in immediately available funds to the
Concentration Account, and shall, based on information available to it, at that
time and in the following order:
14
(i) allocate all such Collections transferred to the Concentration
Account either as Member Collections or as Seller Collections;
(ii) for each Receivable Interest and subject to the PROVISO set
forth below, out of such Member Collections attributable to such
Receivable Interest, set aside and hold in trust for the Member owning
such Receivable Interest and the Servicer an amount equal to the sum of
(A) the Yield and Servicer Fee accrued through such Business Day for such
Receivable Interest and not previously so set aside, (B) the Cure Amount,
if any, for such Receivable Interest for such Business Day, and (C) the
aggregate of the Fees and any other amounts then accrued or owed
hereunder by the Seller to such Member or its Group Managing Agent and
not previously so set aside;
(iii) reinvest the remainder of such Member Collections, for the
benefit of the Member owning such Receivable Interest, by recomputation
of such Receivable Interest pursuant to SECTION 2.04 as of the end of

a deposit account of the Servicer; PROVIDED that, to the extent that any
Member of any Purchaser Group shall be required for any reason to pay
over any amount of Collections which shall have been previously
reinvested for the account of such Member pursuant to SECTION 2.04, such
amount shall be deemed not to have been so transferred but rather to have
been retained by the Seller and paid over for the account of such Member
and, notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, such Member

Managing Agent and the Administrative Agent on such Business Day pursuant to
SECTION 2.07(D) for the immediately preceding week, for such Receivable

On the Business Day that occurs two Business Days before the Settlement Date for
each Settlement Period for such Receivable Interest, the Servicer shall deposit

Interest the amounts set aside in respect of such Settlement Period as described
in clause (ii) of this SECTION 2.05(B). Upon receipt of such funds by the

time against any or all of the Seller's accounts with such Member any such
amount so due.
(e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the

such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the
Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be

due such Member. If and to the extent the Servicer or the Seller, as the case
may be, shall not have so made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent,
each Member shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such
amount distributed to such Member together with interest thereon, for each day
from the date such amount is distributed to such Member until the date such
Member repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds
Rate.

for the account of the Administrative Agent, the Group Managing Agents and the

Settlement Date for each Settlement Period for such Receivable Interest;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, upon three Business Days' notice to the Administrative
Agent, the Servicer (if not WORLDCOM or any Affiliate thereof) may elect to be
paid, as such fee, another percentage per annum on the average daily amount of
Capital of each such Receivable Interest, but in no event in excess of the
lesser of (i) 1% per annum on the average daily amount of such Capital, and (ii)
110% of the costs and expenses referred to in SECTION 6.02(C); and PROVIDED
FURTHER that such fee shall be payable only from Collections pursuant to, and

respect to payments due to such Member pursuant to SECTION 2.10, 2.11, 2.12 or
2.14) in excess of its ratable share of payments on account of the Purchases
obtained by all the Members, such Member shall forthwith purchase from the other
Members such interests in the Receivable Interests purchased by them as shall be
necessary to cause such purchasing Member to share the excess payment ratably
with each of them; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if all or any portion of such excess
payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Member, such purchase from
each other Member shall be rescinded and such other Member shall repay to the
purchasing Member the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together
with an amount equal to such other Member's ratable share (according to the
proportion of (i) the amount of such other Member's required repayment to (ii)
the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Member) of any interest or
20
other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Member in respect of the total
amount so recovered. The Seller agrees that any Member so purchasing an interest
in Receivable Interests from another Member pursuant to this Section 2.13 may,
to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment
(including the right of set-off) with respect to such interest in Receivable
Interests as fully as if such Member were the direct creditor of the Seller in
the amount of such interest in Receivable Interests.
SECTION 2.14. SUBSTITUTION OF MEMBERS. If any Member shall (i) request,
or if any Participant or Participants for the Receivable Interest or Interests
of such Member shall request, a payment pursuant to SECTION 2.10, 2.11 or 2.12,
or (ii) have had its Affiliated Purchaser become a "Substitutable Purchaser"
under and as defined in SECTION 2.14 of the Purchase Agreement (in each of
clauses (i) and (ii) such a Member being a "SUBSTITUTABLE MEMBER"), the Seller
may cause such Member, as instructed by the Seller, to assign to the other
Members which shall have agreed to accept and assume such assignment (it being
understood that each Member willing to so accept and assume such assignment
shall be permitted to do so by each other Member and the Seller) ratably in
accordance with their respective Commitments or as otherwise agreed by such
Members and notified to the Seller and the Administrative Agent, or, if no other
Member shall have agreed to so accept and assume such assignment within five
Business Days after the Seller shall give written notice to the Administrative
Agent of the Seller's offer of such assignment to the other Members, to such
other Person as shall have been designated by the Seller and approved by the
Administrative Agent and the Group Managing Agent of such Substitutable Member's
Purchaser Group (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned
or delayed), all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and with
respect to its Receivable Interests (including, without limitation, all of its
Commitment and the amount of Capital owing to it) pursuant to an Assignment and
Acceptance executed under SECTION 9.02, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that (x) such
assignment shall not conflict with any law, rule, regulation, order or decree of
any Governmental Authority, (y) the Substitutable Member shall have received
from such assignee full payment in immediately available funds of all amounts
payable to it in respect of Capital, accrued Yield and other amounts owing to it
in connection herewith and (z) such assignment by such Substitutable Member
shall occur simultaneously with an assignment by that Purchaser which is an
Affiliate of such Substitutable Member of all of such Purchaser's rights and
obligations under the Purchase Agreement and with respect to its Receivable
Interests, if any, to an assignee pursuant to SECTION 2.14 of the Purchase
Agreement; and PROVIDED, FURTHER, that nothing contained in this SECTION 2.14
shall obligate any Member to assume any rights or obligations of any
Substitutable Member.

Member hereby appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent, to take such
action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement
and the other Transaction Documents and each other instrument or document
furnished pursuant hereto as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the
terms hereof or thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental
thereto. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement
(including, without limitation, enforcement of such Transaction Documents and
such other instruments and documents), the Administrative Agent shall not be
required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to
act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or

Agents of the Majority Purchaser Groups, and such instructions and requests
shall be binding upon all parties hereto and all Assignees; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action which
exposes the Administrative Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to
this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or any other instrument or
document furnished pursuant hereto or applicable law. The Administrative Agent
agrees to give to each Member prompt notice of each notice given to it pursuant
to the terms of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any other
instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto, and in the case of each notice
by the Seller to the Administrative Agent of each requested Purchase by the
Members pursuant to SECTION 2.02(A), the Administrative Agent agrees to use its
reasonable best efforts to give notice of such Purchase to each Member on the
same day as such notice by the Seller. The Administrative Agent hereby agrees to
deliver promptly to each Member each report, document, notice or other written
communication required to be delivered by or on behalf of the Seller or the
Servicer or any Originator to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Members
by the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents (it being understood that the Administrative Agent shall have no
obligation to deliver, or cause to be delivered, to any Member any such report,
document, notice or other written communication if the Seller or the Servicer or
any Originator required to deliver, or have delivered on its behalf, such
report, document, notice or other written communication fails to make or cause
such delivery to the Administrative Agent).

Agent of such Purchaser Group to take such action as agent on its behalf and to
exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents
and each other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto as are delegated
to such Group Managing Agent (whether in its capacity as Group Managing Agent
hereunder or as Managing Agent under any other Transaction Document) by the
terms hereof or thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental
thereto. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement
(including, without limitation, enforcement of such Transaction Documents and
such other instruments and documents), no Group Managing Agent shall be required
to exercise any discretion or take any action, but each Group Managing Agent
shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected
in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions or requests of the
Members of such Group Managing Agent's Purchaser Group, and
31
such instructions and requests shall be binding upon all parties hereto and all
Assignees; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no Group Managing Agent shall be required to
take any action which exposes such Group Managing Agent to personal liability or
which is contrary to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any
other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or applicable law. The
Group Managing Agent of each Purchaser Group agrees to give to each Member of
such Purchaser Group prompt notice of each notice given to it pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any other
instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto, and in the case of each notice
by the Seller or the Administrative Agent to such Group Managing Agent of each
requested Purchase by the Members of such Group Managing Agent's Purchaser Group
pursuant to SECTION 2.02(A), such Group Managing Agent agrees to use its
reasonable best efforts to give notice of such Purchase to each such Member of
such Purchaser Group on the same day as it receives such notice. The Group
Managing Agent of each Purchaser Group hereby agrees to deliver promptly to each
Member of such Purchaser Group each report, document, notice or other written
communication required to be delivered by or on behalf of the Seller, the
Servicer, the Administrative Agent or any Originator to such Group Managing
Agent on behalf of such Members by the terms and conditions of this Agreement
and the other Transaction Documents (it being understood that such Group
Managing Agent shall have no obligation to deliver, or cause to be delivered, to
any such Member any such report, document, notice or other written communication
if the Seller, the Servicer, the Administrative Agent or any Originator required
to deliver, or have delivered on its behalf, such report, document, notice or
other written communication fails to make or cause such delivery to such Group
Managing Agent).
SECTION 8.03. ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT'S AND GROUP MANAGING AGENTS' RELIANCE,
ETC. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Group Managing Agent nor any of
their respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for
any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them as Administrative Agent or
Group Managing Agent, respectively, under or in connection with this Agreement
or any other Transaction Document or any other instrument or document furnished
pursuant hereto (including without limitation, the Administrative Agent's
servicing, administering or collecting the Pool Receivables as Servicer pursuant
to SECTION 6.01), except for its or their own gross negligence or willful
misconduct. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, except as
otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and any Member, or the Group
Managing Agent of any Purchaser Group and any Member of such Purchaser Group,
the Administrative Agent or such Group Managing Agent, as applicable: (i) may
consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Seller, the Servicer or

be
32
responsible to any Member or other Indemnified Party for the due execution,

interest or security interest created or purported to be created hereunder or
under the Receivables Contribution and Sale Agreement; and (v) shall incur no
liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Transaction
Document or any other instrument or document delivered pursuant hereto by acting

telegram, cable, telex or electronic transmission) believed by it to be genuine
and signed or sent by the proper party or parties.
SECTION 8.04. RIGHTS AND POWERS. With respect to any Receivable Interest
owned by it, the Administrative Agent and each Group Managing Agent shall have
the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Member and may
exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent or a Group
Managing Agent, as applicable. The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates and
each Group Managing Agent and its respective Affiliates may generally engage in
any kind of business with the Seller or any Originator or any Obligor, any of
their respective Affiliates and any Person who may do business with or own
securities of the Seller or any Originator or any Obligor or any of their
respective Affiliates, all as if Bank One or such Group Managing Agent were not
the Administrative Agent or a Group Managing Agent, respectively, and without
any duty to account therefor to the Members.
SECTION 8.05. MEMBERS' PURCHASE DECISIONS. Each Member acknowledges that
it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any
of its Affiliates or any Group Managing Agent or any of its respective
Affiliates or any other Indemnified Party and based on such documents and
information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own evaluation and decision
to enter into this Agreement and, if it so determines, to purchase undivided
ownership interests in Pool Receivables hereunder. Each Member also acknowledges
that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent
or any of their respective Affiliates or any Group Managing Agent or any of its
respective Affiliates or any other Indemnified Party and based on such documents
and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its
own decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement.
SECTION 8.06. INDEMNIFICATION. The Members of each Purchaser Group agree
to indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Group Managing Agent of such
Purchaser Group (to the extent not reimbursed by the Seller or any Originator),
ratably according to the respective amounts of Capital of their respective
Receivable Interests (or, if no Receivable Interest is at that time owned by
them, ratably according to their respective Commitments), from and against any
and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature
whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the
Administrative Agent or such Group Managing Agent in any way relating to or
arising out of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any other
instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or in connection herewith or
any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent or such Group Managing
Agent under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any such
instrument or document, PROVIDED that no Member shall be liable for any portion
of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
33
judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the
Administrative Agent's or such Group Managing Agent's gross negligence or
willful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing but subject to the
PROVISO to the preceding sentence, the Members agree to reimburse the
Administrative Agent, ratably according to the respective amounts of Capital of
their respective Receivable Interests (or, if no Receivable Interest is at that
time owned by them, ratably according to their respective Commitments), promptly
upon demand for any out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) incurred by
the Administrative Agent in connection with the administration, modification,
amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or
otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under,
this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any other instrument or
document furnished pursuant hereto or in connection herewith, to the extent that
the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Seller or
any Originator.
SECTION 8.07. SUCCESSOR ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT. (a) The Administrative
Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Group
Managing Agents and the Seller and may be removed at any time with or without
cause by the Majority Purchaser Groups. Upon any such resignation or removal,
the Group Managing Agents shall have the right to appoint a successor
Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so
appointed by the Group Managing Agents, and shall have accepted such
appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent's giving of
notice of resignation or the Majority Purchaser Groups' removal of the retiring
Administrative Agent, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of
the Members, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a
commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States or of any State
thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $250,000,000. Upon
the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a
successor Administrative Agent and upon the execution and filing or recording of
such financing statements, or amendments thereto, and such other instruments or
notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Group Managing Agents may
request, in order to continue the perfection of the security interests granted
or purported to be granted by the Transaction Documents, such successor
Administrative Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights,
powers, discretion, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent,
and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and
obligations under the Transaction Documents. Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, the retiring Administrative Agent's resignation or removal
shall not become effective, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall not be
discharged from its duties and obligations under the Transaction Documents,
unless and until a successor Administrative Agent shall have been appointed
hereunder and shall have accepted such appointment. After any retiring
Administrative Agent's resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent
shall have become effective, as specified above, the provisions of this ARTICLE
VIII shall inure to its benefit to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by
it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement.
(b) Upon the effectiveness of this Agreement and on and after the date

JPMorgan as successor Administrative Agent under, and for purposes of,
this Agreement, and JPMorgan hereby accepts such appointment.
(iii) The provisions of this ARTICLE VIII (including, without
limitation, the indemnity provisions of SECTION 8.06) shall inure to Bank
One's benefit to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by Bank One
while Bank One was Administrative Agent as defined in, and under, the
Original Parallel Purchase Commitment and the A&R Parallel Purchase
Commitment.
SECTION 8.08. CO-LEAD MANAGERS. It is understood and agreed that CNAI and
JPMorgan, each as Co-Lead Manager hereunder, shall have no duties or
responsibilities hereunder as such Co-Lead Managers.
SECTION 8.09. AUTHORIZATIONS AND ACTIONS WITHIN PURCHASER GROUPS. Any
authorization, consent or waiver that is to be taken by any Purchaser Group
hereunder shall be taken by the Group Managing Agent of such Purchaser Group on
its behalf at the direction or with the consent of the Members of such Purchaser
Group. The specific manner in which such direction or consent shall be given or
authorized with respect to any Purchaser Group shall be determined by the
Members of such Purchaser Group. Any action with respect to the removal or
replacement of any Group Managing Agent shall be determined by the Members of
the Purchaser Group of such Group Managing Agent. Any authorization, consent,
waiver or other action that is to be taken by the Majority Purchaser Groups
hereunder shall be taken by the Group Managing Agents representing such Majority
Purchaser Groups unless otherwise expressly stated herein.

Receivable in, or purported to be in, the Receivables Pool and the
Related Security and Collections in respect thereof, whether at the time
of any Purchase or reinvestment or at any subsequent time unless such
failure
39
results directly and solely from the Administrative Agent's failure to
take appropriate action;

ARTICLE XI
GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST
SECTION 11.01. GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST. The Seller hereby assigns and
pledges to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of itself, the Members and
each other Indemnified Party from time to time, and hereby grants to the
Administrative Agent for the benefit of itself, the Members and each other
Indemnified Party from time to time a security interest in and to, the Demand
Note and all proceeds thereof.
SECTION 11.02. SECURITY FOR SECURED OBLIGATIONS. The assignment, pledge
and security interest granted under this ARTICLE XI secures the payment of all
obligations of the Seller now or hereafter existing from time to time under this
Agreement, the Fee Letters and any other instruments and documents furnished by
the Seller pursuant hereto or otherwise in connection with this Agreement,
whether for Collections received or deemed to have been received or otherwise
payable by the Seller, interest, fees, costs, expenses, taxes, indemnification
or otherwise (all such obligations being the "SECURED OBLIGATIONS").
SECTION 11.03. FURTHER ASSURANCES. (a) The Seller agrees that from time
to time, at the expense of the Seller, the Seller will promptly execute and
deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that
may be necessary or desirable, or that the Administrative Agent may request, in
order to perfect and protect the assignment and security interest granted or
purported to be granted hereby or to enable the Administrative Agent to exercise
and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to the Demand Note.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Seller will, upon the
request of the Administrative Agent, execute and file such financing or
continuation statements, or amendments thereto, and such other instruments or
notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Administrative Agent may
reasonably request, in order to perfect and preserve the assignment and security
interest granted or purported to be granted hereby.
41
(b) The Seller hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to file one or
more financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, relating to
the Demand Note and the proceeds thereof without the signature of the Seller
where permitted by law, and the Administrative Agent shall notify the Seller of
each such filing. A photocopy or other reproduction of this Agreement or any
financing statement covering the Demand Note and the proceeds thereof shall be
sufficient as a financing statement where permitted by law.
SECTION 11.04. ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT APPOINTED ATTORNEY-IN-FACT. The
Seller hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent the Seller's
attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of the Seller and
in the name of the Seller or otherwise, from time to time in the Administrative
Agent's discretion following the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Termination, to take any action and to execute any instrument which the
Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes
of the assignment, pledge and security interest granted hereunder, including,
without limitation:
(a) to ask, demand, collect, xxx for, recover, compromise, receive
and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under
or in connection with the Demand Note, and
(b) to file any claims or take any action or institute any
proceedings which the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or
desirable for the collection of the Demand Note or otherwise to enforce
compliance with the terms and conditions of the Demand Note or the rights
of the Administrative Agent with respect to the Demand Note.
SECTION 11.05. ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT MAY PERFORM. If the Seller fails to
perform any agreement contained in this ARTICLE XI, the Administrative Agent may
itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the expenses of the
Administrative Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the
Seller under SECTION 12.04.
SECTION 11.06. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT'S DUTIES. The powers conferred on
the Administrative Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the
Demand Note and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers.
Except for the safe custody of the Demand Note in its possession and the
accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Administrative
Agent shall have no duty as to the Demand Note or as to the taking of any
necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties or any other rights
pertaining to the Demand Note. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have
exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Demand Note in
its possession if the Demand Note is accorded treatment substantially equal to
that which it accords its own property.
SECTION 11.07. REMEDIES. If any Event of Termination shall have occurred
and be continuing:
(a) The Administrative Agent may exercise any and all rights and
remedies of the Seller under or in connection with the Demand Note or
otherwise in respect of the Demand Note, including, without limitation,
any and all rights of the Seller to demand or otherwise require payment
of the Demand Note.
42
(b) The Administrative Agent may exercise in respect of the Demand
Note, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or
otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party
on default under the UCC in effect in the State of New York (whether or
not such UCC applies to the Demand Note).
(c) All payments received by the Seller in respect of the Demand
Note shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Administrative
Agent, shall be segregated from other funds of the Seller and shall be
forthwith paid over to the Administrative Agent in the same form as so
received (with any necessary endorsement).
(d) All payments made in respect of the Demand Note, and all cash
proceeds in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization
upon all or any part of the Demand Note, received by the Administrative
Agent may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be held by the
Administrative Agent as collateral for, and/or then or at any time
thereafter applied (after payment of any amounts payable to the
Administrative Agent pursuant to SECTION 12.04) in whole or in part by
the Administrative Agent for the Members or the applicable Indemnified
Parties against, all or any part of the Secured Obligations and the
"Secured Obligations" under and as defined in the Purchase Agreement, to
the Members and Indemnified Parties hereunder and the "Owners" and
"Indemnified Parties" under and as defined in the Purchase Agreement
ratably in accordance with the respective amounts of such Secured
Obligations and "Secured Obligations" owing to them. Any surplus of such
payments or cash proceeds held by the Administrative Agent and remaining
after payment in full of all the Secured Obligations and the "Secured
Obligations" under and as defined in the Purchase Agreement shall be paid
over to the Seller or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive
such surplus.
ARTICLE XII
MISCELLANEOUS
SECTION 12.01. AMENDMENTS, ETC. No amendment or waiver of any provision
of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by the Seller, or the
Servicer here from, shall be effective unless in a writing signed by the
Majority Purchaser Groups and, in the case of any such amendment, the Seller and
the Servicer, and then such amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only
in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that no such amendment, waiver or consent shall do any of the following
unless in writing and signed by all the Group Managing Agents and Members and
the Rating Agencies then rating the commercial paper notes of GBFC, Paradigm and
Liberty shall have confirmed that the rating of the commercial paper notes of
GBFC will not be downgraded or withdrawn as a result of such amendment, waiver
or consent: (a) waive any of the conditions specified in SECTION 3.01 and 3.02,
(b) subject the Members or the Group Managing Agents to any additional
obligations, (c) reduce the amount of Capital or Yield with respect to
Receivable Interests or any fees payable hereunder, (d) postpone any date
scheduled for any reduction of Capital or for any payment of Yield or any fees
payable hereunder, (e) amend or waive any of the conditions specified in SECTION
3.02 or any Event of Termination, (f) amend the definition of "Contract",
"Default Ratio", "Defaulted Receivable", "Dilution Reserve", "Eligible
Receivable", "Loss Reserve", "Loss-to-Liquidation Ratio", or "Net Receivables
Pool Balance" or amend or (if
43
applicable) waive any defined term used (or contained) in any of the foregoing
definitions as applied thereto, (g) assign any interest of Receivable Interests
in any Pool Receivables or Related Security or Collections, other than as
provided in this Agreement, (h) change the percentage of Commitments, or the
number of Members or Group Managing Agents or Purchaser Groups, which shall be
required for any amendment, waiver or consent or for any other action hereunder
or (i) amend this SECTION 12.01; PROVIDED, FURTHER, HOWEVER, that no amendment,
waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Administrative
Agent in addition to the Group Managing Agents and Members as required above to
take such action, affect the rights or duties or increase the obligations of the
Administrative Agent under this Agreement; and PROVIDED, FURTHER, HOWEVER, that
no amendment, waiver or consent shall increase the obligations of any Group
Managing Agent or Member under this Agreement without the prior written approval
of such Group Managing Agent or Member, as applicable. Anything herein to the
contrary notwithstanding, in the event of any conflict between (i) any action
taken by the Majority Purchaser Groups or all of the Purchaser Groups or
Members, as applicable, or the Administrative Agent under this Agreement,
including without limitation, in respect of any of the definitions contained in
SECTION 1.01 hereof or in respect of any amendment, waiver or consent pursuant
to this SECTION 12.01, and (ii) any action taken by the Majority Managing Agents
or all of the Managing Agents (as each such term is defined in the Purchase
Agreement), as applicable, or the Administrative Agent under the Purchase
Agreement, such action referred to in clause (i) of SECTION 12.01 of this
Agreement shall control and apply to the Purchase Agreement as well as this
Agreement. No failure on the part of any Member or any other Indemnified Party
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. Without limiting the foregoing, each Member is hereby authorized by the
Seller upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Termination
and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to setoff and
apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or
final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Member
to or for the credit or the account of the Seller against any and all of the
obligations of the Seller now or hereafter existing under this Agreement to such
Member irrespective of whether or not any formal demand shall have been made
under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. Each Member
agrees promptly to notify the Seller and each other Member after any such setoff
and application; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the failure to give such notice shall
not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of each
Member under this SECTION 12.01 are in addition to other rights and remedies
(including, without limitation, other rights of setoff) which such Member may
have. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any
remedies provided by law.
SECTION 12.02. NOTICES, ETC. All notices and other communications
hereunder shall, unless otherwise stated herein, be in writing (including
telegraphic, telecopy or telex communication) and mailed, telegraphed,
telecopied, telexed or delivered, (i) to each of the Seller, the Servicer, the
Administrative Agent, each Group Managing Agent and the Initial Banks, at its
address set forth under its name on the signature pages hereof, (ii) to each
Member other than the Initial Banks, at its address specified on the Assignment
and Acceptance to which it is a party or (iii) to any party hereto, at such
other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the
other parties hereto. All such notices and communications shall, when mailed,
telegraphed, telecopied or telexed, be effective when deposited in the mails,
delivered to
44
the telegraph company, transmitted by telecopier or confirmed by telex
answerback, respectively, except that notices and communications to the
Administrative Agent pursuant to ARTICLE II shall not be effective until
received by the Administrative Agent.
SECTION 12.03. BINDING EFFECT, ASSIGNABILITY. This Agreement shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Seller, WORLDCOM, the
Administrative Agent, each Group Managing Agent, each Member from time to time,
and each other Indemnified Party from time to time, and their respective
successors and assigns, except that neither the Seller nor WORLDCOM shall have
the right to assign its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein
without the prior written consent of each Member. This 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, after
the Commitment Termination Date, as no Capital of any Receivable Interest shall
be outstanding and no Yield, fees or other amounts payable hereunder shall
remain unpaid; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that rights and remedies with respect to the
provisions of SECTIONS 2.10, 2.11, 2.12, 10.01, 12.04, 12.05, 12.06, 12.14 shall
be continuing and shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
SECTION 12.04. COSTS AND EXPENSES. In addition to the rights of
indemnification granted under this Agreement, the Seller agrees to pay on demand
all costs and expenses in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery
and administration (including periodic auditing of Receivables by an independent
accounting firm pursuant to SECTION 5.01(E)) of, and searches and filings in
respect of, this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the other
documents and agreements to be delivered hereunder and thereunder, including,
without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the
Administrative Agent with respect thereto and advising the Administrative Agent
as to its rights and remedies hereunder. The Seller further agrees to pay on
demand all costs and expenses, if any (including, without limitation, reasonable
counsel fees and disbursements), of each Member, the Administrative Agent and
any Affiliate thereof, in connection with the enforcement (whether through
negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of this Agreement, the other
Transaction Documents and the other documents and agreements to be delivered in
connection herewith or therewith.
SECTION 12.05. NON-BUSINESS DAYS. In any case where any payment or action
is due under this Agreement on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment
or action may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, but such extension of
time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest,
Yield, Liquidation Yield/Fee or fees, as the case may be, for purposes of the
applicable accrual period; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, if such extension would
cause payment in respect of Capital or Yield for Receivable Interests for which
Yield is computed by reference to the Bank Rate to be made in the next
succeeding calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding
Business Day.
SECTION 12.06. CONFIDENTIALITY. Except as otherwise required by
applicable law, each of the parties hereto agrees to maintain the
confidentiality of this Agreement, the Purchase Agreement, the Receivables
Contribution and Sale Agreement, Consent and Agreement, the Fee Letters (and all
drafts thereof) and all non-public information delivered in connection herewith
in communications with third parties and otherwise; PROVIDED that this
Agreement, the Purchase Agreement, the Receivables Contribution and Sale
Agreement,
45
Consent and Agreement, the Fee Letters and such information may be disclosed (i)
to third parties to the extent such disclosure is made pursuant to a written
confidentiality agreement in form and substance substantially identical to this
SECTION 12.06, (ii) to the Seller's, the Servicer's, the Administrative Agent's,
each Group Managing Agent's and each Member's legal counsel, accountants and
auditors if they agree to hold it confidential, (iii) to any rating agency, (iv)
to any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the Seller, the Servicer,
the Administrative Agent, any Group Managing Agent or any Member, and (v)
pursuant to court order or subpoena; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that each of the parties
hereto agrees that the disclosure of this Agreement, the Purchase Agreement, the
Receivables Contribution and Sale Agreement, the Consent and Agreement, the Fee
Letters or other information required to be made by or pursuant to court order
or subpoena will not be made until the other parties hereto have been notified
at least five Business Days in advance of any such disclosure, unless such
notification is prohibited by applicable law or such court order or subpoena.
SECTION 12.07. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
SECTION 12.08. JURISDICTION, ETC. (a) Each of the parties hereto hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the
nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or Federal court of the
United States of America sitting in New York City, and any appellate court from
any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this
Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, or
for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any
such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such New York State
court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the
parties hereto hereby agrees that service of process in any such action or
proceeding may be effected by mailing a summons and complaint to it at its
address specified in SECTION 12.02 by registered mail, return receipt requested,
or in any other manner permitted by applicable law. Each of the parties hereto
agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be
conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or
in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any
right that any party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding
relating to this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents in the
courts of any other jurisdiction.
(b) Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to
the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it
may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding
arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the other Transaction
Documents to which it is a party in any New York State or Federal court. Each of
the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or
proceeding in any such court.
SECTION 12.09. EXECUTION IN COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed
in any number of 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. Delivery by
46
telecopier of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement
shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this
Agreement.
SECTION 12.10. INTENT OF THE PARTIES. (a) It is the intention of the
parties hereto that each Purchase and reinvestment shall convey to each Member,
to the extent of its Receivable Interests, an undivided ownership interest in
the Pool Receivables and the Related Security and Collections in respect thereof
and that such transaction shall constitute a purchase and sale and not a secured
loan. If, notwithstanding such intention, the conveyance of the Receivable
Interests from the Seller to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of any
Member shall ever be recharacterized as a secured loan and not a sale, it is the
intention of the parties hereto that this Agreement shall constitute a security
agreement under applicable law, and that the Seller shall be deemed to have
granted to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of such Member a duly
perfected first priority security interest in all of the Seller's right, title
and interest in, to and under the Pool Receivables, whether now owned or
hereafter acquired, and the Related Security and Collections with respect
thereto from time to time and all cash and non-cash proceeds in respect thereof,
free and clear of Adverse Claims. For such purpose, the Seller hereby grants to
the Administrative Agent for the benefit of each Member, to the extent of such
Member's Receivable Interests, a duly perfected first priority security interest
in all of the Seller's right, title and interest in, to and under the Pool
Receivables, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, and the Related Security
and Collections with respect thereto from time to time and all cash and non-cash
proceeds in respect thereof.
(b) Notwithstanding SECTION 12.10(A) or any other provision of this
Agreement, the parties hereto agree to treat the transfers of Receivable
Interests described herein as secured financing for all federal, state and local
tax purposes.
SECTION 12.11. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents contain a final and complete integration of all prior expressions by
the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall
constitute the entire agreement and understanding among the parties hereto with
respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and
understandings, written or oral, relating to the subject matter hereof.
SECTION 12.12. SEVERABILITY OF PROVISIONS. Any provision of this
Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to
such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or
unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or
affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other
jurisdiction.
SECTION 12.13. AMENDMENT, RESTATEMENT, AND CONSENT. (a) This Agreement
amends and restates in its entirety the A&R Parallel Purchase Commitment. Upon
the effectiveness of this Agreement, the terms and provisions of the A&R
Parallel Purchase Commitment shall, subject to this SECTION 12.13, be superseded
hereby. Notwithstanding the amendment and restatement of the A&R Parallel
Purchase Commitment by this Agreement, the Seller and the Servicer shall
continue to be liable to the Administrative Agent, the Group Managing Agents,
the Members and the other Owners with respect to agreements on the part of the
Seller and the Servicer under the A&R Parallel Purchase Commitment to indemnify
any of the Administrative Agent, the Group Managing Agents, the Members and the
other Owners in
47
connection with events or conditions arising or existing prior to the date
hereof. This Agreement is given in substitution for the A&R Parallel Purchase
Commitment. Upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, each reference to the
Original Parallel Purchase Commitment or the A&R Parallel Purchase Commitment in
any other document, instrument or agreement (including, without limitation, the
Certificates) and/or delivered in connection therewith shall mean and be a
reference to this Agreement. This Agreement is not a novation. Nothing contained
herein or in any of the other Transaction Documents, unless expressly herein or
therein stated to the contrary, is intended to amend, modify or otherwise affect
any other instrument, document or agreement executed and/or delivered in
connection with the Original Parallel Purchase Commitment or the A&R Parallel
Purchase Commitment. All amounts outstanding under the Original Parallel
Purchase Commitment or the A&R Parallel Purchase Commitment immediately prior to
giving effect to this Agreement to each Member and each Group Managing Agent
that is a party thereto shall be deemed to be outstanding under this Agreement.
Each Certificate issued under the Original Parallel Purchase Commitment or the
A&R Parallel Purchase Commitment and outstanding immediately prior to giving
effect to this Agreement shall be deemed to be a Certificate hereunder.
(b) The Seller, the Administrative Agent, Bank One, and each Member that
holds a Certificate as defined in, and issued under, the Original Parallel
Purchase Commitment or the A&R Parallel Purchase Commitment hereby agree that
each such Certificate is, effective upon the effectiveness of this Agreement and
on and after the date hereof, hereby amended by deleting, in the first paragraph
of each such Certificate, the parenthetical phrase, "(the "ADMINISTRATIVE
AGENT")".
(c) Each of the parties hereto consents to (i) the amendment and
restatement of the Receivables Contribution and Sale Agreement in the form of
Exhibit F to the Purchase Agreement and (ii) the amendment and restatement of
the Purchase Agreement in the form referred to in the definition of "Purchase
Agreement" contained in SECTION 1.01.
SECTION 12.14. NO PROCEEDINGS. (a) Each of the Seller, WORLDCOM, the
Administrative Agent, each Group Managing Agent and each Member hereby agrees
that they will not institute against or join or assist any Person in instituting
against, any Purchaser any proceeding of the type referred to in SECTION 7.01(G)
so long as any commercial paper notes issued by such Purchaser shall be
outstanding or there shall not have elapsed one year plus one day since the last
day on which any such commercial paper notes shall have been outstanding.
(b) Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that they will not institute
against the Seller any proceeding of the type referred to in SECTION 7.01(G).
SECTION 12.15. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. Each of the parties hereto
irrevocably waives all right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or
counterclaim (whether based on contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of or
relating to this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, the
Purchases or the actions of the Administrative Agent, any Group Managing Agent
or any other Indemnified Party in the negotiation, administration, performance
or enforcement hereof or thereof.
