PURCHASE AND CONVEYANCE OF RECEIVABLES
Section 2.1. Purchase. (a) By execution of this Agreement, the
Sellers do hereby transfer, assign, and otherwise convey to Purchaser
(collectively, the "Conveyance"), without recourse, all of their respective
right, title and interest in and to the Additional Receivables, including all
Collections thereon, other than Credit Balances, received by the Sellers (the
"Purchased Assets").
(b) In connection with such Conveyance, each Seller agrees (i)
to record and file, at its own expense, any financing statements (continuation
4
statements with respect to such financing statements when applicable) and to
take such other action with respect to the Additional Receivables meeting the
requirements of applicable state law in such manner and in such jurisdictions as
are necessary to perfect, and maintain perfection of, the Conveyance of such
Purchased Assets from such Seller to Purchaser after the Closing Date (and the
Purchaser to the Trust, as assignee, if Purchaser so directs), (ii) that such
financing statements shall name AIC or AICCO, as applicable, as seller, and
Purchaser, as purchaser of the Receivables (or Purchaser as seller and Trust as
purchaser if Purchaser so directs) and (ii) to deliver a file-stamped copy of
such financing statements or other evidence of such filings (excluding
continuation statements, which shall be delivered as filed) to Purchaser (or to
the Trustee, if Purchaser so directs) as soon as is practicable after filing.
(c) In connection with such Conveyance, each Seller further
agrees that it will, at its own expense, (i) on each Addition Date, indicate in
its computer files or microfiche lists that the Additional Receivables have been
(A) sold to Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement and (B) transferred by
Purchaser to the Trustee pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for the
benefit of the Certificateholders, by including in such computer files or
microfiche lists a code or other notation identifying such Additional
Receivables, (ii) on each Removal Date, indicate in its computer files or
microfiche lists that the Removed Receivables have been reassigned to it by
deleting in such computer files or microfiche lists the code or other notation
identifying such Removed Receivables, (iii) deliver to the Purchaser on each
Addition Date or Removal Date, a computer file, microfiche or printed list
containing a true and complete list of all such Additional or Removed
Receivables, specifying for each such Receivable, as of the applicable Addition
Cut-Off Date or the Removal Date, as applicable, (A) its account number, (B) the
aggregate amount outstanding in such Receivable and (C) the aggregate amount of
Principal Receivables in such Receivable. Such computer files or microfiche
lists, as supplemented from time to time to reflect Additional Receivables and
Removed Receivables, shall be marked as Schedule I to this Agreement, shall be
delivered to Purchaser (or to the Trustee, if so directed by Purchaser) and
marked as proprietary and confidential, and are hereby incorporated into and
made a part of this Agreement. Each Seller further agrees not to alter the code
or other notation referenced in clauses (i) and (ii) of this paragraph with
respect to any Receivable during the term of this Agreement unless and until (x)
such Receivable becomes a Removed Receivable, or (y) such Seller shall have
delivered to Purchaser and the Trustee at least 30 days prior written notice of
its intention to do so and has taken such action as is necessary or advisable to
cause the respective interests of Purchaser and the Trustee in the Receivables
to continue to be perfected with the priority required by this Agreement and the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, respectively.
5
(d) It is the intention of the parties hereto that the
conveyance of the Receivables hereunder by the Sellers to Purchaser as provided
in this Section 2.1 be, and be construed as, an absolute sale, without recourse,
of such Receivables by the Sellers to Purchaser. Furthermore, it is not intended
that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of such Receivables by the Sellers to
Purchaser to secure a debt or other obligation of the Sellers. If, however,
notwithstanding the intention of the parties, the conveyance provided for in
this Section 2.1 is determined to be a transfer for security, then this
Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of
Article 9 of the UCC and the Sellers hereby grant to Purchaser a "security
interest" within the meaning of Article 9 of the UCC in all of the Sellers'
right, title and interest in and to such Receivables and all amounts payable to
the holders of such Receivables after the Closing Date in accordance with the
terms thereof and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of
the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other property, to secure
the payment of all amounts due and to become due in respect of such Receivables
and any other amounts owed to Purchaser hereunder.
Section 2.2. Addition of Additional Receivables. If, from time
to time, Purchaser becomes obligated to designate Additional Receivables
pursuant to Section 2.6(a) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, then
Purchaser shall give the Sellers written notice thereof on or before the fourth
Business Day prior to the Addition Date therefor, and the Sellers shall on or
before the Addition Date, designate sufficient Additional Receivables to be sold
to Purchaser under this Agreement so that, after the inclusion thereof as Trust
Assets, Purchaser will be in compliance with the requirements of Section 2.6(a)
of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; provided, however, that the failure of
the Sellers to transfer Receivables to Purchaser as provided in this paragraph
solely as a result of the unavailability of a sufficient amount of Eligible
Receivables shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement. Additionally,
pursuant to Section 2.6(b) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, Receivables
may, from time to time, be designated to be included as Additional Receivables
upon the mutual agreement of the Sellers and Purchaser. In either event, the
Sellers shall have sole responsibility for selecting such Additional
Receivables, subject to the provisions hereof, including without limitation the
representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.2(a). The Sellers shall on
or prior to the Addition Date therefor execute and deliver to Purchaser a
written assignment from the Sellers to Purchaser in substantially the form of
Exhibit A (the "Additional Conveyance"). Upon such designation, such Additional
Receivables shall be deemed to be Receivables hereunder.

ARTICLE III.
CONSIDERATION AND PAYMENT
Section 3.1. Purchase Price. (a) The purchase price for the
Additional Receivables to be conveyed to the Purchaser under this Agreement (the
"Purchase Price") shall be payable on the date of conveyance in an amount equal
to 100% of the Principal Receivables represented thereby.
(b) The Purchase Price to be paid by Purchaser with respect to
the Additional Receivables on each Addition Date shall be paid (i) in cash, (ii)
with the consent of the related Seller, by issuance to the related Seller of a
Subordinated Note or by increase in the principal amount outstanding thereunder,
or (iii) any combination of the foregoing, in each case in accordance with
Section 3.2.
(c) To the extent that Purchaser shall not have paid before,
or shall not have available to it, cash in U.S. dollars in same day funds
sufficient to pay (or cause to be paid) to the Sellers the Purchase Price for
Receivables that have been designated for sale pursuant hereto during a Monthly
Period, the remainder of the Purchase Price shall be paid on each Distribution
Date by increasing the principal amount of the related Subordinated Note by an
amount equal to such insufficiency.
Section 3.2. Settlement and Ongoing Payment of Purchase Price.
On each Distribution Date under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, each Seller
shall deliver a settlement statement (each, a "Settlement Statement") to
Purchaser, showing (a) the aggregate Purchase Price of Receivables conveyed to
Purchaser during the prior Monthly Period, the portion thereof paid in cash and
the portion represented by an increase in the related Subordinated Note and (b)
any adjustment to the Purchase Price of Receivables with respect to such Monthly
Period pursuant to Section 6.1 hereof. Any cash balance due from Purchaser to a
Seller shall be paid in cash in immediately available funds to such Seller or
the outstanding balance of the related Subordinated Note shall be increased to
reflect such unpaid balance, or a combination of the foregoing shall occur, and
any balance due from a Seller to Purchaser shall be paid in immediately
available funds to Purchaser. To the extent that either Seller has received an
amount greater than the Purchase Price of such Receivables, such Seller shall
first apply such amount to the payment of the unpaid principal of the related
Subordinated Note, if any. If, after giving effect to any such payment in
respect of the Subordinated Note, such Seller has received an amount greater
than the Purchase Price, such Seller shall retain such amounts and, at the
option of Purchaser (A) issue its note to Purchaser with
7
terms substantially similar to the terms of the related Subordinated Note or (B)
subject to applicable legal restrictions, elect to treat such amounts as a
dividend.

therein or on the legal title to any Loan the Receivable under which is part of
the Trust Assets; it will immediately notify the Purchaser of the existence of
any Lien on any of the Trust Assets or on the legal title to any Loan the
Receivable under which is part of the Trust Assets; and it shall defend the
right, title and interest of the Trust in, to and under the Trust Assets,
whether now existing or hereafter created, against all claims of third parties
claiming through or under it; provided, however, that nothing in this subsection
5.1(a) shall prevent or be deemed to prohibit it from suffering to exist upon
any of the Trust Assets any Liens for municipal or other local taxes if such
taxes shall not at the time be due and payable or if it shall currently be
contesting the validity thereof in good faith by appropriate proceedings and
shall have set aside on its books adequate reserves with respect thereto;
provided, further, that it shall not be prohibited hereby from conveying,
assigning, selling, exchanging or otherwise transferring Receivables and related
Loans in connection with a transaction complying with the provisions of Section
7.2 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
(c) Receivables Allocations. In the event that it is unable
for any reason to transfer Receivables to the Purchaser in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, by reason of an
order by any federal or state governmental agency having regulatory authority
over it or any court of competent jurisdiction that it not transfer any
Receivables to the Purchaser) then, in any such event, it agrees to allocate and
pay to the Purchaser, after the date of such inability, all Collections with
respect to Receivables, and all amounts which would have constituted Collections
with respect to Receivables but for its inability to transfer such Receivables
to the Purchaser.
(d) Delivery of Collections. If it receives Collections, it
agrees to pay to Purchaser (or its designee if Purchaser so directs) all such
Collections as soon as practicable after receipt thereof but in no event later
than two Business Days after receipt thereof; provided, however, that for so
long as it is acting as a Servicer pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, it shall apply Collections received by it in accordance with the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
(e) Notice of Liens. It shall notify Purchaser promptly after
becoming aware of any Lien on any Receivable other than the conveyances
hereunder or any Lien for municipal or other local taxes if such taxes shall not
at the time be due and payable or if it shall currently be contesting the
validity thereof in good faith by appropriate proceedings and shall have set
aside on its books adequate reserves with respect thereto.
14
(f) Documentation of Transfer. It shall cause to be executed
and delivered to Purchaser any documents (including financing statements and/or
continuation statements under the UCC) that would be necessary to fully preserve
and protect the Purchaser's (or its designee's) right, title and interest to the
Receivables.
(g) Sale. It agrees to treat the Conveyance, for financial
accounting purposes, as a sale on all financial statements and other applicable
documents.
(h) Continuous Perfection. It shall not change its name,
identity or structure in any manner that might cause any financing or
continuation statement filed pursuant to this Agreement to be misleading within
the meaning of Section 9-402(7) of the UCC (or any other then applicable
provision of the UCC) unless it shall have delivered to Purchaser or its
designees at least 30 days prior written notice thereof and, no later than 30
days after making such change, shall have taken all action necessary or
advisable to amend such financing statement or continuation statement so that it
is not misleading. It shall not change its chief executive office or change the
location of its principal records concerning the Receivables or the Collections
unless it has delivered to Purchaser or its designees at least 30 days prior
written notice of its intention to do so and has taken such action as is
necessary or advisable to cause the interest of Purchaser or its designees in
the Receivables to continue to be perfected with the priority required by this
Agreement.

constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) a material default
under, any indenture, contract, agreement, mortgage, deed of trust or other
instrument to which it is a party or by which it or its properties are bound;
(g) No Violation. The execution and delivery of

Receivables, as of the Additional Cut-Off Date, is a true and complete schedule
