-----------------------------------
(a) When the Purchaser accepts an offer from the Seller to purchase an
interest in (i) Receivables of any Division other than Bristol or (ii) the
Seller's Interest, the Purchaser shall have acquired, in exchange for the
purchase price paid, an undivided percentage ownership interest in (i) the
Receivables Pool of such Division and any Collections relating to such
Receivables Pool or (ii) the Seller's Interest, as the case may be. Each such
undivided percentage interest of the Purchaser shall be referred to in this
Agreement as an "Ownership Interest". The Ownership Interest with respect to the
Receivables Pool of any Division other than Bristol shall at any time, except as
provided in paragraphs (b) and (c) of this Section, be equal to the following
fraction (expressed as a percentage):
I + R
------------
ER x (1 - D)
-10-
where:
I = the Investment in such Receivables Pool at such time;
R = the Reserve with respect to such Division at such time;
ER = the outstanding balance of all Eligible Receivables in such
Receivables Pool at such time, minus an amount equal to the sum
-----
of (i) the aggregate amount by which the outstanding balance of
Eligible Receivables of each Obligor in such Receivables Pool
exceeds the Standard Concentration Limit or Special Concentration
Limit for such Obligor, (ii) the positive result of (A) the
aggregate amount by which the outstanding balance of Foreign
Receivables in such Receivables Pool exceeds the lesser of (1)
the product of (x) a fraction, expressed as a decimal, the
numerator of which is equal to the outstanding balance of all
Foreign Receivables in such Receivables Pool and the denominator
of which is equal to the aggregate outstanding balance of all
Foreign Receivables in all of the Receivables Pools and (y) the
Foreign Concentration Limit and (2) an amount equal to the
product of (x) the weighted average at such time of the four
percentages determined pursuant to (I) clause (a) or clause (b),
as the case may be, of the definition of Reserve for each
Division (other than Bristol) and (II) clause (a) or clause (b),
as the case may be, of the definition of "Reserve" contained in
the Transfer Agreement and (y) the Investment, less (B) the
----
amount, if any, determined in clause (i) hereof with respect to
each Obligor described therein which is an Obligor of a Foreign
Receivable, (iii) the positive result of (A) the aggregate amount
by which the outstanding balance of Government Receivables in
such Receivables Pool exceeds the product of (1) a fraction,
expressed as a decimal, the numerator of which is equal to the
outstanding balance of all Government Receivables in such
Receivables Pool and the denominator of which is equal to the
aggregate outstanding balance of all Government Receivables in
all of the Receivables Pools and (2) the Government Concentration
Limit, less (B) the amount, if any, determined in clause (i)
----
hereof with respect to each Obligor described therein which is an
Obligor of a Government Receivable; (iv) with respect to the
Receivables Pool of UPG, the positive result of (A) the aggregate
amount by which the outstanding balance of all Eligible
Receivables not required to be paid in full until a date between
sixty-one days and ninety days, inclusive, after the billing date
thereof exceeds the product of (1) 30% and (2) an amount equal to
the outstanding balance of all Receivables of UPG at such time,
less (B) the amount, if any, determined in clause (i) hereof with
----
respect to each Obligor described therein which is an Obligor of
a Receivable described in this clause; and (v) with respect to
the Receivable Pool of UPG, the positive result of (A) the
aggregate amount by which the outstanding balance of all Eligible
Receivables not required to be paid in full until a date between
ninety-one days and one hundred eighty days, inclusive, after the
billing date thereof exceeds the product of (1) 10% and (2) an
amount equal to the outstanding balance of all Receivables of UPG
at such time, less (B) the amount, if any, determined in clause
----
-11-
(i) hereof with respect to each Obligor described therein which
is an Obligor of a Receivable described in this clause; and
D = the Dilution Percentage with respect to such Division at such
time.
The Ownership Interest with respect to the Seller's Interest shall at any time,
except as provided in paragraphs (b) and (c) of this Section, be equal to the
following fraction (expressed as a percentage):
I/1/
------
I/2/
where:
I/1/ = the Investment in the Seller's Interest; and
I/2/ = the amount of the Seller's "Investment" (as defined in the
Transfer Agreement) in Bristol's Receivables pursuant to the
Transfer Agreement.
The Ownership Interest will change from time to time, except as provided in
paragraphs (b) and (c) of this Section, whenever there is a change in (i)
with respect to any Division other than Bristol, the value of Investment
with respect to the Receivables Pool of such Division, Reserve with respect
to such Division, Eligible Receivables (as so reduced) in such Receivables
Pool, Standard Concentration Limit or Special Concentration Limit with
respect to any Obligor, Foreign Concentration Limit, Government
Concentration Limit or Dilution Percentage with respect to such Division
and (ii) with respect to the Seller's Interest, whenever there is a change
in the value of I/1/ or I/2/.
(b) During any period when the Investment with respect to any Division is
being reduced, the Ownership Interest in both the Receivables of such Division
and the Seller's Interest will remain fixed at the percentage in effect as of
the date immediately preceding the commencement of that period and the Purchaser
shall cease acquiring an interest in any such Receivables, Seller's Interest or
Collections thereon arising during such period.
(c) The Ownership Interest in both the Receivables of each Division and the
Seller's Interest will be reduced to zero (and all Receivables and Collection
owned by the Purchaser and attributable to such Ownership Interests therein as
calculated immediately prior to its reduction to zero shall be applied as
provided in Section 4.2) when the Purchaser receives: (1) the Aggregate
Investment; (2) the amounts payable pursuant to Section 7.2.2(b)(i); and (3) all
other amounts then payable to the Purchaser under this Agreement. When the
Ownership Interest in both the Receivables of each Division and the Seller's
Interest is reduced to zero, the Purchaser shall not be entitled to receive any
additional Collections from the Receivables or Seller's Interest, as set forth
in Section 4.2. Upon written request of the Seller, the Purchaser shall
acknowledge in
-12-
writing whether or not the Purchaser has received in full the amounts and
payments identified in clauses (1) through (3) of this Section 3.1(c).
(d) Subject to the Collection Agent's rights under Section 8.2(d), which
rights shall be exclusive for so long as the Seller or an Affiliate of the
Seller is the Collection Agent, upon the Purchaser's purchase of an Ownership
Interest in the Receivables Pool of any Division, the Purchaser and the
Servicing Agent shall be entitled to (i) endorse all drafts, checks and other
forms of payment on account of the Pool Receivables in such Receivables Pool and
to settle, adjust and forgive any amounts payable on such Pool Receivables and
(ii) exercise all other incidences of ownership in such Pool Receivables to the
extent of the Ownership Interest.
(e) The Seller hereby sells and assigns to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser
hereby acquires from the Seller, the Ownership Interest in all Receivables Pools
of the Divisions and the Seller's Interest (as same may change from time to time
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, but not in excess of 100% and subject
to Article II and Section 3.1(b) hereof).
SECTION 3.2 Frequency of Determining Ownership Interest. The
-------------------------------------------
Collection Agent shall determine or be deemed to determine the Ownership
Interest in the Receivables Pool of each Division daily, and shall report it to
the Servicing Agent at the following times only:
(a) on the date of an Initial Purchase from the Seller in respect of
Receivables generated by such Division;
(b) on each Settlement Date;
(c) on the date of an Incremental Purchase from the Seller in respect of
Receivables generated by such Division;
(d) on the Business Day immediately preceding any period during which the
Investment with respect to any Division is being reduced;
(e) on the Business Day on which the Investment with respect to any
Division ceases being reduced;
(f) when the Collection Agent has reason to believe that the Maximum
Ownership Interest has been exceeded; and
(g) at the request of the Purchaser.
SECTION 3.3 Maximum Ownership Interest. (a) If, on any day (after
--------------------------
giving effect to Collections and the generation of new Receivables with respect
to the Receivables Pool of any Division on such day), the Ownership Interest in
such Receivables Pool would exceed the Maximum Ownership Interest (such Division
referred to herein as the "Overextended Division"), the Purchaser shall be
deemed to make an Incremental Purchase in the Receivables Pools of each
-13-
of the other Divisions (each such Division, a "Selling Division") in, and the
Investment in the Receivables Pool of the Overextended Division shall be deemed
reduced by, the amount determined in accordance with the immediately succeeding
sentence. Subject to subsection (b) below, the Incremental Purchase deemed to
be made in the Receivables Pool of each Selling Division shall be in an amount
equal to the product of (i) the amount sufficient to reduce the Ownership
Interest in the Receivables Pool of the Overextended Division to the Maximum
Ownership Interest and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the
Investment with respect to such Selling Division and the denominator of which is
equal to the sum of the Investment for each Selling Division; provided, that the
--------
amount of such Incremental Purchase would not cause (and such amount shall be
reduced so as not to cause) either:
(1) the Investment with respect to such Selling Division to exceed the
Purchase Limit with respect to such Selling Division, or
(2) the Ownership Interest in the Receivables Pool of such Selling Division
to exceed the Maximum Ownership Interest.
(b) If the Incremental Purchase with respect to any Selling Division
is reduced in accordance with the proviso contained in subsection (a) above, the
amount of such reduction shall be applied as deemed Incremental Purchases in the
Receivables Pools of the remaining Selling Divisions on a pro rata basis;
provided, that the amount of such Incremental Purchases would not cause (and
--------
such amount shall be so as not to cause) either:
(1) the Investment with respect to any such Selling Division to exceed
the Purchase Limit with respect to such Selling Division, or
(2) the Ownership Interest in the Receivables Pool of any such Selling
Division to exceed the Maximum Ownership Interest with respect to
such Selling Division.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Seller shall not
be required to deliver any written notice with respect to the sale of an
Ownership Interest arising from the Purchaser's making of Incremental Purchases
in accordance with subsection (a) above or this subsection (b).
(c) If, after giving effect to subsections (a) and (b) above, the
Ownership Interest in the Receivables Pool of the Overextended Division or
Seller's Interest exceeds the Maximum Ownership Interest, the Purchaser shall
cease making Reinvestment Purchases and the Collection Agent shall remit to the
Purchaser on a daily basis all Collections attributable to such Ownership
Interest (net of amounts distributed or to be distributed pursuant to Sections
7.2.2(a) and 7.2.(b)(i)) as a reduction to its Investment with respect to such
Overextended Division until the Purchaser has received an amount sufficient to
reduce the respective Ownership Interest to the Maximum Ownership Interest. The
Seller shall remit to the Purchaser in reduction of its Investment with respect
to an Overextended Division any payment made by the Purchaser to the
-14-
Seller on account of Reinvestment Purchases with respect to such Overextended
Division to the extent the Ownership Interest with respect to such Overextended
Division exceeded the Maximum Ownership Interest at the time the Seller received
any such Reinvestment Purchase payment.
SECTION 3.4 Canadian Receivables. For all purposes of this

Purchases deemed made pursuant to Section 3.3(a)), the amount specified in the
notice required to be delivered by the Seller under Section 6.2(a) or (ii) for
Incremental Purchases deemed to be made pursuant to Section 3.3(a) hereof, the
amount determined in the second sentence of Section 3.3(a): or
(b) for a Reinvestment Purchase in Eligible Receivables of any Division,
the positive result of (i) the product of (A) the dollar amount of the
Collections received on account of Pool Receivables of such Division on the date
of such Purchase and (B) the Ownership Interest with respect to such Division on
that date, less (ii) any fees payable under Section 7.2.2(b)(i); that
provided, that the payment of any amount described in (a) or (b) above would not
--------
cause (and such amount shall be reduced so as not to cause) either:
(1) the Investment to exceed the Purchase Limit with respect to the
related Division;
(2) the Aggregate Investment to exceed the Purchase Limit for all
Divisions in the aggregate; or
(3) the Ownership Interest in the Receivables Pool of such related
Division to exceed the Maximum Ownership Interest.

Dear Sirs:
We represent York International Corporation, a
corporation (the "Company") in connection with the Receivables
Sale Agreement dated as of June 30, 1992 among each of you and the Company (the
"Agreement"), and the other Sale Documents (as such term is defined in the
Agreement) (the Agreement and the Sale Documents are herein collectively called
the "Sale Agreement"), which we have reviewed for the purpose of rendering this
opinion.
We have also reviewed the corporate organization and existence of the
Company and the corporate proceedings of the Company in relation to the Sale
Agreements and such other matters as we have deemed necessary or relevant as a
basis for this opinion.
All capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the
meanings assigned to them in the Agreement.
Based upon the foregoing, it is our opinion that:
1. The Company is a duly organized and @validly existing corporation in
good standing under the laws of the State of , with perpetual corporate
existence, and has the
corporate power and authority to own its properties and to transact the business
in which it is engaged. The Company is duly qualified to do business in each
jurisdiction where the failure to be so qualified could adversely affect the
Ownership
1990 Asset Securitization cooperative Corporation
Interests of the Purchaser or the ability of the Company to
perform its obligations under the Sale Agreements.
2. The Company has the corporate power to execute, deliver and carry out
the terms and provisions of the Sale-Agreements and the Company has duly taken
or caused to be taken all necessary corporate action (including but not limited
to the obtaining of any consent of stockholders required by law or by the
Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws of the Company) to
authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Sale Agreements.
3. Neither the execution and delivery of the Sale Agreements, nor the
compliance with the provisions thereof, will violate any law or regulation or
any order or decree of any court or governmental instrumentality, or will
conflict with, or result in the breach of, or constitute a default under, any
indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, agreement or other instrument to which the
Company is a party or by which it might be bound, or result in the creation or
imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the property of the
Company thereunder (except in your favor), or violate any provision of the
Certificate of Incorporation, By-laws or any preferred stock provisions of the
Company. In this connection, we have made a reasonable investigation with
respect to the existence of any such indenture, mortgage, deed of trust,
agreement or other instrument.
4. There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or (to our
knowledge) threatened against or affecting the Company before any court,
arbitrator or governmental or administrative body or agency which might result
in any material adverse change in the business, operations, properties or
assets, or in the condition, financial or otherwise, of the Company or the
Ownership Interests of the Purchaser.
5. No action of, or filing with, any governmental or public body or
authority (except for the filings referred to in paragraphs 7 and 8 hereof) is
required to authorize, or is otherwise required in connection with, the
execution, delivery and performance of the Sale Agreements.
6. The Sale Agreements (other than the Supplemental Agreement) have been
duly executed and delivered by the Company and constitute valid and binding
obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with their respective
terms.
2
1990 Asset Securitization Cooperative Corporation
7. If the Agreement creates the sale of Ownership Interests in Receivables
to you, then upon the execution and delivery of the Agreement, you shall have
acquired all right, title and interest of the Company in and to such Ownership
Interests (including the proceeds thereof) and such right, title and interest
acquired by you will be free and clear of any lien, claim, encumbrance or
interest of any third party. If the Agreement does not create the sale of
Ownership Interests in Receivables, then the Agreement creates a valid and
enforceable security interest in your favor in the Ownership Interests and the
proceeds thereof.' Upon the filing of the financing statements attached hereto
as Exhibit A in the filing offices indicated, such security interest will
constitute a perfected
security interest in the Ownership Interests and the proceeds thereof and will
rank prior to the liens, claims, encumbrances and interests of any third party.
8. Each Purchase will constitute a purchase or other acquisition of notes,
drafts, acceptances, open accounts receivable or other obligations representing
part or all of the-sales price of merchandise, insurance or services within the
meaning of Section 3(c)(5) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
