RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AGREEMENT

THIS RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) dated as of April 25, 2000 made by and between CENDANT MOBILITY FINANCIAL CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation, as originator and seller (the “Seller”) and APPLE RIDGE SERVICES CORPORATION, a Delaware Corporation, as buyer (“ARSC”).

WHEREAS, the Seller has purchased certain Receivables and Related Assets from Cendant Mobility Services Corporation (“CMSC”) and from time to time hereafter will create, and will purchase from CMSC, additional Receivables and Related Assets; and

WHEREAS, the Seller wishes to sell Receivables and Related Assets that it now owns and Receivables and Related Assets that it from time to time hereafter will own to ARSC, and ARSC is willing to purchase such Receivables and Related Assets from the Seller from time to time, on the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, ARSC intends to transfer the ARSC Purchased Assets to the Issuer from and after the Closing Date pursuant to the terms of the Transfer and Servicing Agreement;

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

DEFINITIONS

Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Agreement have the meanings specified in Part A of Appendix A or as specified in Appendix A of the Purchase Agreement. In addition, this Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with the conventions set forth in Parts B, C and D of Appendix A.

ARTICLE II

SALE AND PURCHASE OF ASSETS

Section 2.1 Sale and Purchase.

(a) Agreement. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, ARSC agrees to buy, and the Seller agrees to sell, all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the following:

(i) all CMSC Purchased Assets owned by the Seller on the Closing Date or thereafter purchased, and all rights of the Seller under the Purchase Agreement


	1

and the PHH Guarantee with respect to the CMSC Purchased Assets (collectively, the “Seller Purchased Assets”);

(ii) all Receivables arising out of or with respect to Equity Payments, Mortgage Payments and Mortgage Payoffs made by the Seller in respect of Home Purchase Contracts to which CMF is a party from and after the Closing Date (collectively, the “Seller Receivables”);

(iii) all Related Property with respect to the Seller Receivables (collectively, the “Seller Related Property”);

(iv) all CMF Collections;

(v) all proceeds of and earnings on any of the foregoing; and

(vi) all of the right, title and interest (if any) CMF has in, to or under CMF Designated Receivables, including all Related Property with respect thereto and all proceeds thereof, including all rights, if any, to reimbursement of, or interest on, such CMF Designated Receivables.

The items listed above in clauses (iii), (iv) and (v), whenever and wherever arising, are collectively referred to herein as the “Seller Related Assets.” The Seller Purchased Assets, the Seller Receivables and the Seller Related Assets are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “Seller Assets.”

As used herein, “CMF Purchased Assets” means Seller Purchased Assets that are being purchased or have been Purchased by ARSC hereunder; “CMF Receivables” means Seller Receivables that are being purchased or have been Purchased by ARSC hereunder; “CMF Related Property” means Seller Related Property that is being purchased or has been Purchased by ARSC hereunder; “CMF Related Assets” means Seller Related Assets that are being purchased or have been Purchased by ARSC hereunder; and “ARSC Purchased Assets” means Seller Assets that are being purchased or have been Purchased by ARSC hereunder.

Schedule 2.1 sets forth a list of all CMF Home Purchase Contracts as of the Closing Date. Each new Home Purchase Contract that is not an Excluded Contract and that is entered into by the Seller on any day in a month shall be added to the CMF Home Purchase Contracts and shall be reported on the last day of such month by delivering a notice as set forth in Exhibit 2.1 to ARSC or its designee, whereupon Schedule 2.1 shall be amended by the Seller to add such new Home Purchase Contract to the list of CMF Home Purchase Contracts set forth therein. On or prior to the date of the delivery of any such notice, the Seller shall indicate, or cause to be indicated, in its computer files, books and records that the CMF Receivables and other ARSC Purchased Assets then existing and thereafter created pursuant to or in connection with each such CMF Home Purchase Contract are being transferred to ARSC pursuant to this Agreement.

(b) Treatment of Certain Receivables and CMF Related Assets. It is expressly understood that (i) each Pool Receivable sold to ARSC hereunder, together with all other CMSC Purchased Assets and all CMF Related Assets then existing or thereafter created and arising with


	2

respect thereto, will thereafter be the property of ARSC (or its assignees), without the necessity of any further purchase or other action by ARSC (other than satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein) and (ii) the change of a Receivable’s status from that of Unsold Home Receivable to Unbilled Receivable or from Unbilled Receivable to Billed Receivable shall not be deemed the creation of a new Receivable for any purpose.

Section 2.2 Purchases. On the Closing Date, ARSC shall purchase all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in and to all Seller Assets and in any property described in clause (vi) of Section 2.1 existing as of the close of business on the immediately preceding Business Day. On each Business Day thereafter until the ARSC Termination Date, ARSC shall purchase all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in and to all Seller Assets and in any property described in clause (vi) of Section 2.1 existing as of the close of business on the immediately preceding Business Day that were not previously purchased by ARSC hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Insolvency Proceeding is pending with respect to either the Seller or ARSC prior to the Termination Date, the Seller shall not sell and ARSC shall not buy any ARSC Purchased Assets hereunder unless and until such Insolvency Proceeding is dismissed or otherwise terminated.

Section 2.3 No Assumption. The sales and Purchases of ARSC Purchased Assets do not constitute and are not intended to result in a creation or an assumption by ARSC or its successors and assigns of any obligation of CMSC, the Seller or any other Person in connection with the ARSC Purchased Assets (other than such obligations as may arise from the ownership of the Pool Receivables) or under the related Contracts or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto, including without limitation any obligation to any Obligors or Transferred Employees. None of the Servicer, ARSC or ARSC’s assignees shall have any obligation or liability to any Obligor, Transferred Employee or other customer or client of CMSC (including without limitation any obligation to perform any of the obligations of CMSC under any Relocation Management Agreement, CMSC Home Purchase Contract, CMSC Related Property or any other agreement or any obligation of the Seller under any CMF Home Purchase Contract), except such obligations as may arise from the ownership of the Pool Receivables. Except as expressly provided in Section 3.05(j) of the Transfer and Servicing Agreement, no such obligation or liability to any Obligor, Transferred Employee or other customer or client of CMSC is intended to be assumed by the Servicer or its successors and assigns hereunder or under the Transfer and Servicing Agreement, and any such assumption is expressly disclaimed.

Section 2.4 No Recourse. Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, the sale and Purchase of the ARSC Purchased Assets and any other property described in clause (vi) of Section 2.1(a) under this Agreement shall be without recourse to the Seller; provided, however, that the Seller shall be liable to ARSC and its successors and assigns for all representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities made by it pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (it being understood that such obligations of the Seller will not arise solely on account of the credit-related inability of an Obligor to pay a Receivable).

Section 2.5 True Sales. The Seller and ARSC intend the transfers of ARSC Purchased Assets hereunder to be true sales by the Seller to ARSC that are absolute and irrevocable and to provide ARSC with the full benefits of ownership of the ARSC Purchased Assets, and neither the Seller nor ARSC intends the transactions contemplated hereunder to be,


	3

or for any purpose to be characterized as, loans from ARSC to the Seller, secured by the ARSC Purchased Assets.

Section 2.6 Servicing of ARSC Purchased Assets. Consistent with ARSC’s ownership of all ARSC Purchased Assets and subject to the terms of the Pool Relocation Management Agreements, as between the parties to this Agreement, ARSC shall have the sole right to service, administer and collect all ARSC Purchased Assets, to assign such right and to delegate such right to others. In consideration of ARSC’s purchase of the ARSC Purchased Assets and as more fully set forth in Section 11.12, the Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that ARSC intends to assign for the benefit of the Issuer and its successors and assigns the rights and interests granted by the Seller to ARSC hereunder, and agrees to cooperate fully with the Issuer and its successors and assigns in the exercise of such rights.

Section 2.7 Financing Statements. In connection with the transfer described above, the Seller agrees, at its expense, to record and file financing statements (and continuation statements when applicable) with respect to the ARSC Purchased Assets conveyed by the Seller meeting the requirements of applicable law in such manner and in such jurisdictions as are necessary to perfect and maintain the perfection of the transfer and assignment of its interest in the ARSC Purchased Assets to ARSC, and to deliver a file stamped copy of each such financing statement or other evidence of such filing to ARSC as soon as practicable after the Closing Date; provided, however, that prior to recordation pursuant to Section 8.3 or the sale of a Home to an Ultimate Buyer, record title to such Home may remain in the name of the related Transferred Employee and no recordation in real estate records of the conveyance pursuant to the related Home Purchase Contract or Home Sale Contract shall be made except as otherwise required or permitted under Section 2.01(d)(i) of the Transfer and Servicing Agreement.

ARTICLE III

CALCULATION OF ARSC PURCHASE PRICE

Section 3.1 Calculation of the ARSC Purchase Price.

(a) On each Business Day from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the Termination Date, the Seller shall deliver, or cause the Servicer to deliver, to ARSC an accounting (each, a “Daily Seller Report”) with respect to (i) the Purchases of ARSC Purchased Assets to be made on such Business Day and (ii) the ARSC Purchase Price to be paid on account of the foregoing as calculated in accordance with this Section 3.1.

(b) With respect to the Purchase of any ARSC Purchased Assets by ARSC from the Seller pursuant to Article II, (i) on the Closing Date, ARSC shall pay to the Seller a purchase price equal to $653,974,274, and (ii) on any day thereafter ARSC shall pay to the Seller a purchase price equal to the fair market value thereof using a discount rate and expected collection period to be recalculated monthly based on ARSC’s weighted cost of funds and Average Days Outstanding for the prior month and assuming a reasonable return on ARSC’s equity (each such purchase price, the “ARSC Purchase Price”), calculated in the case of each CMF Receivable at the time of such CMF Receivable’s sale to ARSC, and adjusted to reflect


	4

such factors as the Seller and ARSC mutually agree will result in an ARSC Purchase Price determined to be the fair market value of such ARSC Purchased Assets.

ARTICLE IV

PAYMENT OF ARSC PURCHASE PRICE

Section 4.1 ARSC Purchase Price Payments. On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, ARSC shall pay to the Seller on the Closing Date the ARSC Purchase Price for the ARSC Purchased Assets sold on such date, by paying such ARSC Purchase Price to the Seller in cash. On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, ARSC shall pay to the Seller, on each other Business Day on which any ARSC Purchased Assets are purchased from the Seller by ARSC pursuant to Article II, the ARSC Purchase Price for such ARSC Purchased Assets by paying such ARSC Purchase Price to the Seller in cash (including funds borrowed under the ARSC Subordinated Note as provided in the ARSC Subordinated Note and in Sections 4.2 and 5.2 of this Agreement).

Section 4.2 The ARSC Subordinated Note. On the Closing Date, ARSC shall deliver to CMSC the ARSC Subordinated Note in the form set forth as Exhibit 4.2. Pursuant to the terms of, and subject to the limitations set forth in, the ARSC Subordinated Note, CMF will request from CMSC an advance (each, an “ARSC Subordinated Loan”) on or prior to the ARSC Termination Date for the purpose of purchasing ARSC Purchased Assets hereunder. Pursuant to the terms of the ARSC Subordinated Note, ARSC shall not request or receive any advance thereunder on any date if the aggregate principal amount outstanding thereunder on such date, after giving effect to such advance, would exceed an amount equal to five times the net worth of ARSC (such maximum amount required to be advanced at any time, the “ARSC Subordinated Note Cap”). The ARSC Subordinated Loans shall be evidenced by, and shall be payable in accordance with the terms and provisions of, the ARSC Subordinated Note. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, ARSC shall not use funds borrowed under the ARSC Subordinated Note for any purpose other than paying the ARSC Purchase Price.

Section 4.3 Seller Adjustments; Originator Adjustments

(a) With respect to any CMF Receivable created by the Seller, if on any day ARSC (or ARSC’s assignee), the Servicer or the Seller determines that (i) any CMF Receivable that (A) was not identified by or on behalf of the Seller in the Daily Seller Report as other than an Eligible Receivable on the Business Day such CMF Receivable was sold hereunder or (B) was otherwise treated as or represented to be an Eligible Receivable in any Receivables Activity Report, was not in fact an Eligible Receivable on such date or (ii) any of the representations or warranties set forth in Section 6.1(d) or 6.1(k) was not true when made with respect to such CMF Receivable or the related CMF Related Asset (each such CMF Receivable described in clause (i) or clause (ii), a “CMF Noncomplying Asset”), then the Seller shall pay the aggregate Unpaid Balance of such CMF Receivables (such payment, the “CMF Noncomplying Asset Adjustment”) to ARSC in accordance with Section 4.3(c).

(b) If on any day the Unpaid Balance of any CMF Receivable (i) is reduced as a result of any cash discount or any adjustment by the Seller, (ii) is subject to reduction on


	5

account of any offsetting account payable of the Seller to an Obligor or is reduced or cancelled as a result of a set-off in respect of any claim by, or defense or credit of, the related Obligor against the Seller (whether such claim, defense or credit arises out of the same or a related or an unrelated transaction) or (iii) is reduced on account of the obligation of the Seller to pay to the related Obligor any rebate or refund (each of the reductions and cancellations described above in clauses (i) through (iii), a “Seller Dilution Adjustment”), then the Seller shall pay such Seller Dilution Adjustment to ARSC in accordance with Section 4.3(c).

(c) On each Business Day, the Seller shall pay to ARSC in cash in accordance with Section 4.4, an amount (a “Seller Adjustment”) equal to the sum of (A) the aggregate Seller Dilution Adjustment, if any, for each day from and including the immediately preceding Business Day plus (B) the CMF Noncomplying Asset Adjustment, if any, for each day from and including the immediately preceding Business Day. The CMF Receivables that gave rise to any CMF Noncomplying Asset Adjustment shall remain the property of ARSC. From and after the day on which any CMSC Noncomplying Asset Adjustment or CMF Noncomplying Asset Adjustment is made, any collections received by ARSC that are identified as proceeds of the Receivables that gave rise to such CMSC Noncomplying Asset Adjustment or CMF Noncomplying Asset Adjustment and any Related Property with respect to such Receivable shall be promptly returned to the Seller.

(d) The Seller shall pay to ARSC in cash, on the date of receipt by the Seller, any payment in respect of Originator Adjustments relating to the ARSC Purchased Assets made by CMSC to the Seller pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. The Seller shall instruct CMSC to deposit all payments in respect of such Originator Adjustments directly in the Collection Account.

Section 4.4 Payments and Computations, Etc. All amounts to be paid by the Seller to ARSC hereunder shall be paid in accordance with the terms hereof no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the day when due in United States dollars in immediately available funds to an account specified in writing from time to time by ARSC or its designee. Payments received by ARSC after such time shall be deemed to have been received on the next Business Day. If any payment becomes due on a day that is not a Business Day, then such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day. The Seller shall pay to ARSC, on demand, interest on all amounts not paid when due hereunder at a rate equal to the Prime Rate plus 2% per annum; provided, however, that such interest rate shall not at any time exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. All computations of interest payable hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). All payments made under this Agreement shall be made without set-off or counterclaim.

ARTICLE V

	8

under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party or the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party or (D) individually or in the aggregate for all such actions, suits, proceedings and investigations could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(g) Governmental Approvals. Except where the failure to obtain or make such authorization, consent, order, approval or action could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (i) all authorizations, consents, orders and approvals of, or other actions by, any Governmental Authority that are required to be obtained by the Seller in connection with the conveyance of the ARSC Purchased Assets transferred hereunder on and after such date, or the due execution, delivery and performance by the Seller of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents to which it is a party have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect and (ii) all filings with any Governmental Authority that are required to be obtained in connection with such conveyance and the execution and delivery by the Seller of this Agreement have been made; provided, however, that prior to recordation pursuant to Section 8.3 or the sale of a Home to an Ultimate Buyer, record title to such Home may remain in the name of the related Transferred Employee and no recordation in real estate records of the conveyance pursuant to the related Home Purchase Contract or Home Sale Contract shall be made except as otherwise required or permitted under Section 2.01(d)(i) of the Transfer and Servicing Agreement.

(h) Margin Regulations. The Seller is not engaged, principally or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock (within the meanings of Regulations T, U and X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System). The Seller has not taken and will not take any action to cause the use of proceeds of the sales hereunder to violate said Regulations T, U or X.

(i) Taxes. The Seller has filed (or there have been filed on its behalf as a member of a consolidated group) all tax returns and reports required by law to have been filed by it and has paid all taxes, assessments and governmental charges thereby shown to be owing by it, other than any such taxes, assessments or charges (i) that are being diligently contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, for which adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP have been set aside on its books and that have not given rise to any Liens (other than Permitted Liens) or (ii) the amount of which, either singly or in the aggregate, would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

(j) Solvency. After giving effect to the conveyance of ARSC Purchased Assets hereunder on such date, the Seller is solvent and able to pay its debts as they come due and has adequate capital to conduct its business as presently conducted.

	9

ownership interest of ARSC and its successors and assigns in such ARSC Purchased Assets against all creditors of, and purchasers from, the Seller (subject to Permitted Exceptions).

(ii) With respect to each Pool Receivable transferred hereunder on such date, ARSC shall acquire a valid and (subject to Permitted Exceptions) perfected ownership interest in such Pool Receivable and any identifiable proceeds thereof, free and clear of any Lien (other than any Permitted Liens).

(iii) Immediately prior to the sale of an ARSC Purchased Asset hereunder on such date, no effective financing statement or other instrument similar in effect that covers all or part of any ARSC Purchased Asset or any interest therein is on file in any recording office except such as may be filed (A) in favor of CMSC in accordance with the Pool Relocation Management Agreements, (B) in favor of the Seller in accordance with the Purchase Agreement, (C) in favor of ARSC pursuant to this Agreement, (D) in favor of ARSC’s successors and assigns pursuant to the Transfer and Servicing Agreement or the Indenture or otherwise filed by or at the direction of ARSC’s successors and assigns or (E) to evidence any Mortgage on a CMSC Home or CMF Home created by a Transferred Employee.

(iv) The ARSC Purchase Price constitutes reasonably equivalent value for the ARSC Purchased Assets conveyed in consideration therefor on such date, and no purchase of an interest in such ARSC Purchased Assets by ARSC from the Seller constitutes a fraudulent transfer or fraudulent conveyance under the United States Bankruptcy Code or applicable state bankruptcy or insolvency laws or subject to subordination under similar laws or principles or for any other reason.

(l) Eligible Receivables. Each CMF Receivable included in the ARSC Purchased Assets transferred hereunder on such date, unless otherwise identified to ARSC and its assignees by the Seller in the related Daily Seller Report, is an Eligible Receivable on such date.

Section 10.1 Indemnities by the Seller. Without limiting any other rights that any CMF Indemnified Party may have hereunder or under applicable law, the Seller agrees to indemnify ARSC and each of its successors, permitted transferees and assigns, and all officers, directors, shareholders, controlling Persons, employees and agents of any of the foregoing (each of the foregoing Persons, a “CMF Indemnified Party”), from and against any and all damages, losses, claims (whether on account of settlements or otherwise), actions, suits, demands, judgments, liabilities (including penalties), obligations or disbursements of any kind or nature and related costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) awarded against or incurred by any of them, arising out of or as a result of any of the following (all of the foregoing, collectively, “CMF Indemnified Losses”):

(a) any representation or warranty made by the Seller under any of the Transaction Documents, any Daily Seller Report or any other information or report delivered by the Seller with respect to the Seller or the ARSC Purchased Assets, having been untrue or incorrect in any respect when made or deemed to have been made; provided, however, that the Seller’s obligation to make a CMF Noncomplying Asset Adjustment pursuant to Section 4.3(a) with respect to any representation made in Section 6.1(l) as to Eligible Receivables having been incorrect when made shall be the only remedy available to ARSC or its assignees relating to such incorrect representation;

(b) the failure by the Seller to comply with any material applicable law, rule or regulation applicable to the Seller with respect to any ARSC Purchased Asset or any failure of a ARSC Purchased Asset to comply with any such law, rule or regulation as of the date of the sale of such ARSC Purchased Asset hereunder;

(c) the failure to vest and maintain in ARSC a valid ownership or security interest in the ARSC Purchased Assets, free and clear of any Lien arising through the Seller or anyone claiming through or under the Seller (including without limitation any such failure arising from a circumstance described in the definition of Permitted Exceptions);

applicable laws with respect to the transfer of any ARSC Purchased Assets to ARSC, whether at the time of any sale or at any subsequent time;

(f) the failure by the Seller to pay when due any taxes owing by it (including sales, excise or property taxes) payable in connection with the ARSC Purchased Assets, other than any such taxes, assessments or charges that are being diligently contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, for which adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP have been set aside on its books and that have not given rise to any Liens (other than Permitted Liens);

(g) any reduction in the Unpaid Balance of any CMF Receivable included in the ARSC Purchased Assets as a result of (i) any cash discount or any adjustment by the Seller or any Affiliate of the Seller (other than CMSC, the Issuer or ARSC), (ii) any offsetting account payable of the Seller to an Obligor, (iii) a set-off in respect of any claim by, or defense or credit of, the related Obligor against the Seller or any Affiliate of the Seller (other than CMSC, the Issuer or ARSC) (whether such claim, defense or credit arises out of the same or a related or an unrelated transaction) or (iv) the obligation of the Seller to pay to the related Obligor any rebate or refund;

(h) any product liability or personal injury claim in connection with the service which is the subject of any CMF Receivable or CMF Related Property; and

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no indemnification payments shall be payable by the Seller pursuant to this Section 10.1 until all amounts owing by the Issuer under the Indenture have been paid in full and all amounts payable by the Seller to CMSC under the CMF Subordinated Note have been paid in full.

Notwithstanding the foregoing (and with respect to clause (ii) below, without prejudice to the rights that ARSC may have pursuant to the other provisions of this Agreement or the provisions of any of the other Transaction Documents), in no event shall any CMF Indemnified Party be indemnified for any CMF Indemnified Losses (i) resulting from negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such CMF Indemnified Party, (ii) to the extent the same includes losses in respect of ARSC Purchased Assets and reimbursement therefor that would constitute credit recourse to the Seller for the amount of any ARSC Purchased Asset not paid by the related Obligor or (iii) resulting from the action or omission of the Servicer.

If for any reason the indemnification provided in this Section 10.1 is unavailable to a CMF Indemnified Party or is insufficient to hold a CMF Indemnified Party harmless, then the Seller shall contribute to the maximum amount payable or paid to such CMF Indemnified


	25

Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by such CMF Indemnified Party on the one hand and the Seller on the other hand, but also the relative fault of such CMF Indemnified Party and the Seller, and any other relevant equitable considerations.

Section 10.2 Security Interest. Without prejudice to the provisions of Section 2.1 providing for the absolute transfer of the Seller’s interest in the ARSC Purchased Assets and the proceeds thereof and any interest of the Seller in the other property described in clause (vi) of Section 2.1(a) to ARSC in order to secure the prompt payment and performance of all obligations of the Seller to ARSC arising in connection with this Agreement, whether now or hereafter existing, due or to become due, direct or indirect, or absolute or contingent, the Seller hereby assigns and grants to ARSC a first priority security interest in the Seller’s right, title and interest, if any, in, to and under all of the ARSC Purchased Assets and the proceeds thereof and any interest of the Seller in the other property described in clause (vi) of Section 2.1(a), whether now or hereafter existing.

EXHIBIT 4.2

RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AGREEMENT

Dated as of April 25, 2000

FORM OF ARSC SUBORDINATED NOTE

April 25, 2000

1. Note. FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, APPLE RIDGE SERVICES CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (“ARSC”), hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the order of CENDANT MOBILITY SERVICES CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (“CMSC”), in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds, on the day following the Final Payout Date, the aggregate unpaid principal sum outstanding of all “ARSC Subordinated Loans” made from time to time by CMSC to ARSC pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of that certain Receivables Purchase Agreement dated as of April 25, 2000, between the Seller and ARSC (as amended, restated, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Receivables Purchase Agreement”). Reference to Sections 4.2 and 5.2 of the Receivables Purchase Agreement is hereby made for a statement of the terms and conditions under which the loans evidenced hereby have been and will be made. All capitalized terms used herein that are not otherwise specifically defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Receivables Purchase Agreement. No advance shall be made hereunder on any date if the aggregate principal amount outstanding hereunder on such date, after giving effect to such advance, plus the aggregate amount then outstanding under the Notes, would exceed an amount equal to five times the net worth of ARSC. Proceeds of any loan hereunder shall be used solely for the purposes of paying the Purchase Price of the ARSC Purchased Assets.

2. Agreement to Make Advances. Subject to the limitations set forth herein and the following limitations set forth in Section 5.2 of the Receivables Purchase Agreement: (a) this ARSC Subordinated Note has been duly executed and delivered by ARSC and is in full force and effect, (b) no Event of Bankruptcy has occurred and is continuing with respect to ARSC and (c) after giving effect to the ARSC Subordinated Loan, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of this ARSC Subordinated Note does not exceed the ARSC Subordinated Note Cap, CMSC irrevocably agrees to make each ARSC Subordinated Loan requested by ARSC on or prior to the Termination Date for the sole purpose of purchasing ARSC Purchased Assets under the Receivables Purchase Agreement.

3. Interest. ARSC further promises to pay interest on the outstanding unpaid principal amount hereof from the date hereof until payment in full hereof at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 2.25%; provided, however, that if ARSC defaults in the payment of any principal hereof, ARSC promises to pay, on demand, interest at the Prime Rate plus 2.00% per annum on any such unpaid amounts, accrued with respect to each Interest Period from the date such payment is due to the date of actual payment. LIBOR shall be determined on each LIBOR


	E-4.2-1

Determination Date on the basis of the rate for deposits in United States dollars for a one-month period which appears on Telerate Page 3750 as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on such date. If such rate does not appear on Telerate Page 3750, the rate for that LIBOR Determination Date shall be determined on the basis of the rates quoted by the four major banks in the London interbank market selected by the Paying Agent to the Paying Agent as the rates at which deposits in United States dollars are offered by such banks in the London interbank market at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on that day to prime banks in the London interbank market for a one-month period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, interest shall accrue at a rate equal to 8.46% per annum during the first Interest Period. Interest shall be payable on the Distribution Date in each month in arrears. The outstanding principal of any loan made under this ARSC Subordinated Note shall be due and payable on the day after the Final Payout Date, and may be repaid or prepaid at any time without premium or penalty.

LIBOR Determination Date means the second London Business Day prior to the commencement of the second and each subsequent Interest Period. A London Business Day is any Business Day on which dealings in deposits in U.S. dollars are transacted in the London interbank market and banking institutions in London are not authorized or obligated by law or regulation to close. An Interest Period is the period beginning on and including the Distribution Date immediately preceding such Distribution Date and ending on and excluding such Distribution Date; provided that the first Interest Period shall begin on and include April 25, 2000 and end on and exclude June 15, 2000. A Distribution Date means June 15, 2000 and the fifteenth day of each calendar month thereafter, or if such fifteenth day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day.

4. Principal Payments. CMSC is authorized and directed by ARSC to enter in its books and records the date and amount of each loan made by it that is evidenced by this ARSC Subordinated Note and the amount of each payment of principal made by ARSC and, absent manifest error, such entries shall constitute prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information so entered; provided that neither the failure of CMSC to make any such entry or any error therein shall expand, limit or affect the obligations of ARSC hereunder.

5. Subordination. The indebtedness evidenced by this ARSC Subordinated Note is subordinated to the prior payment in full of all of ARSC’s recourse obligations under the Transfer and Servicing Agreement. The subordination provisions contained herein are for the direct benefit of, and may be enforced by, ARSC’s successors and assigns and/or any of their respective assignees (collectively, the “Senior Claimants”) under the Transfer and Servicing Agreement. Until the date after the Final Payout Date on which all advances outstanding under the Transfer and Servicing Agreement have been repaid in full and all other obligations of ARSC thereunder (all such obligations, collectively, the “Senior Claims”) have been indefeasibly paid and satisfied in full, CMSC shall not demand, accelerate, xxx for, take, receive or accept from ARSC, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or any other manner (including without limitation from or by way of collateral) any payment or security of all or any of the indebtedness under this ARSC Subordinated Note or exercise any remedies or take any action or proceeding to enforce the same; provided, however, that (i) CMSC hereby agrees that it will not institute against ARSC any Insolvency Proceeding unless and until a period of one year and one day has elapsed after the Final Payout Date and (ii) nothing in this paragraph shall


	E-4.2-4

restrict ARSC from paying, or CMSC from requesting, any payments under this ARSC Subordinated Note so long as ARSC is not required under the Transfer and Servicing Agreement to set aside the funds used for such payments for the benefit of, or otherwise pay over to, any of the Senior Claimants; and provided, further, that the making of such payment would not otherwise violate the terms and provisions of the Transfer and Servicing Agreement. Should any payment, distribution or security or proceeds thereof be received by CMSC in violation of the immediately preceding sentence, CMSC agrees that such payment shall be segregated, received and held in trust for the benefit of, and deemed to be the property of, and shall be immediately paid over and delivered to the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Senior Claimants.

6. Bankruptcy; Insolvency. Upon the occurrence of any Insolvency Proceeding involving ARSC as debtor, then and in any such event the Senior Claimants shall receive payment in full of all amounts due under the Transfer and Servicing Agreement (whether or not any or all of such amount is an allowable claim in any such proceeding) before CMSC is entitled to receive payment on account of this ARSC Subordinated Note and, to that end, any payment or distribution of assets of ARSC of any kind or character, whether in cash, securities or other property in any applicable Insolvency Proceeding which would otherwise be payable to, or deliverable upon or with respect to, any or all indebtedness under this ARSC Subordinated Note, is hereby assigned to and shall be paid or delivered by the Person making such payment or delivery (whether a trustee in bankruptcy, a receiver, custodian or liquidating trustee or otherwise) pursuant to the Transfer and Servicing Agreement for application to, or as collateral for the payment of, the Senior Claim until such Senior Claim shall have been paid in full and satisfied.

7. GOVERNING LAW. THIS ARSC SUBORDINATED NOTE SHALL BE INTERPRETED AND THE RIGHTS AND LIABILITIES OF THE PARTIES HERETO DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS AND DECISIONS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. WHEREVER POSSIBLE EACH PROVISION OF THIS ARSC SUBORDINATED NOTE SHALL BE INTERPRETED IN SUCH MANNER AS TO BE EFFECTIVE AND VALID UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, BUT IF ANY PROVISION OF THIS ARSC SUBORDINATED NOTE SHALL BE PROHIBITED BY OR INVALID UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, SUCH PROVISION SHALL BE INEFFECTIVE TO THE EXTENT OF SUCH PROHIBITION OR INVALIDITY, WITHOUT INVALIDATING THE REMAINDER OF SUCH PROVISION OR THE REMAINING PROVISIONS OF THIS ARSC SUBORDINATED NOTE.

8. Waivers. All parties hereto, whether as makers, endorsers, or otherwise, severally waive presentment for payment, demand, protest and notice of dishonor. CMSC additionally expressly waives all notice of the acceptance by any Senior Claimant of the subordination and other provisions of this ARSC Subordinated Note and expressly waives reliance by any Senior Claimant upon the subordination and other provisions herein provided.

9. Assignment. Prior to the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture pursuant to Article IV thereof, this ARSC Subordinated Note may not be assigned, pledged or otherwise transferred to any party other than Originator except in accordance with the Transfer and Servicing Agreement.
