3. Reservation of Rights. By press releases dated January 31, 2005 and March 15, 2005, SIRVA, Inc. announced various matters, including (i) a delay in the release of the 2004 Audit, (ii) anticipated adjustments to prior financial statements as a result of an ongoing review by its audit committee of SIRVA, Inc.’s financial reporting practices and related processes, and (iii) the existence of an informal investigation by the SEC of such practices and processes. Notwithstanding the agreement of the Agent and the Purchasers pursuant to the First Amendment to a delay in the delivery of the 2004 Audit and ongoing discussions between the Agent, the Purchasers and the Originators with respect to the matters described in the Press Releases, the Agent and the Purchasers have not waived any rights or remedies they may have with respect to the matters, except as set forth in Section 3(b)(iii) of the First Amendment, that are the subject of such review and investigation or any related matters. The Agent and the Purchasers hereby
2
expressly continue to reserve all of their rights and remedies with respect to all of the foregoing, including all rights with respect to any related Termination Event that may have occurred and not been waived pursuant to Section 3(b)(iii) of the First Amendment.
4. Representations and Warranties. With respect to the Sale Agreement, the Seller and each Servicer, and with respect to the Purchase Agreement, the Originators hereby represent and warrant to the Agent and the Purchasers as follows:
(i) Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties contained in Article IV of the Receivables Sale Agreement, Section 4 of the Purchase Agreement and Section 6 of the First Amendment are true and correct as of the date hereof (except to the extent such representations and warranties relate solely to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct as of such earlier date and except for the matters to be corrected by the Specified Adjustments).
(ii) Enforceability. The execution and delivery by the Seller and each Servicer of this Amendment, and the performance by the Seller and each Servicer of this Amendment and the Receivables Sale Agreement, as amended hereby (the “Amended Agreement”), are within the corporate powers of the Seller and each Servicer and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or company action on the part of the Seller and each Servicer. This Amendment and the Amended Agreement are valid and legally binding obligations of the Seller and each Servicer, enforceable in accordance with their terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles relating to enforceability.
(iii) No Potential Termination Event. No Potential Termination Event that will not be cured by this Amendment becoming effective has occurred and is continuing.
5. Acknowledgment by Originators. Each of SIRVA Relo and Executive Relo, in its capacity as an Originator, acknowledges and agrees to the terms of this Amendment.
6. Effect of Amendment. Except as expressly amended and modified by this Amendment, all provisions of the Receivables Sale Agreement shall remain in full force and effect; and the Seller and the Servicers confirm and reaffirm their obligations under the Amended Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, the Seller and the Originators confirm and reaffirm their obligation under Section 3 of the Fee Letter, and acknowledge that nothing in this Amendment shall limit the ability of the Agent and the Purchasers to require changes to the terms of the Transaction Documents as contemplated by such Section 3. After this Amendment becomes effective, all references in the Receivables Sale Agreement (or in any other Transaction Document) to “this Agreement”, “hereof”, “herein” or otherwise referring to the Receivables Sale Agreement shall be deemed to be references to the Amended Agreement. This Amendment shall not be deemed to expressly or impliedly waive, amend or supplement any provision of the Receivables Sale Agreement other than as set forth herein.

7. Effectiveness. This Amendment shall become effective as of May 31, 2005 (the “Amendment Effective Date”); provided that no later than June 3, 2005, (a) the Agent receives counterparts of this Amendment (whether by facsimile or otherwise) executed by the Seller, the Servicers, the Originators, the Agent and the Purchasers and consented to by Parent and NAVL and (b) the Seller pays an amendment fee of $25,000 to the Agent for the account of LaSalle and GECC (each to receive half of such fee).
8. Headings; Counterparts. Section Headings in this Amendment are for reference only and shall not affect the construction of this Amendment. This Amendment may be executed by different parties on any number of counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original and all of which, taken together, shall constitute one and the same agreement.
9. Cumulative Rights and Severability. All rights and remedies of the Purchasers and the Agent hereunder shall be cumulative and non-exclusive of any rights or remedies such Persons have under law or otherwise. Any provision hereof that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, in such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof and without affecting such provision in any other jurisdiction.
10. Governing Law. This Amendment shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws (and not the law of conflicts) of the State of Illinois.
