ARTICLE II

PURCHASES AND SETTLEMENTS

Section 2.01. General Terms; Intent of the Parties. (a) On each Purchase Date, in consideration for the Purchase Price and upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, the Seller does hereby sell to the Purchaser, without recourse (except to the extent expressly provided herein), and the Purchaser does hereby purchase from the Seller, all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Receivables, the Related Security, Collections and all Proceeds of each of the foregoing (other than any such assets contributed to Buyer pursuant to Section 2.01(d) below), in each case, whether now existing or hereafter arising or acquired.

(b) The Receivables arising after the initial Purchase Date and while no Purchase Termination Event exists shall be deemed to have been sold by the Seller to the Purchaser immediately (and without further action by any Person) upon the creation of such Receivable. Receivables arising while a Purchase Termination Event exists shall not be deemed to have been sold by the Seller to the Purchaser unless and until the first day thereafter on which no Purchase Termination Event exists. The Related Security and Collections with respect to each Receivable (and Proceeds of such Receivable, Related Security and Collections) shall be sold at the same time as such Receivable together with all related Proceeds received thereon.

(c) It is the intention of the parties hereto that each conveyance of Receivables made under this Agreement shall constitute an outright “sale of accounts” (as such terms are used in Article 9 of the UCC) or other transfer, in each case which is absolute and irrevocable and shall provide the Purchaser with the full benefits of ownership of the Receivables and the associated Related Security, Collections and Proceeds. Each conveyance of Receivables hereunder is made without recourse to the Seller; provided, however, that (i) the Seller will be liable to the Purchaser for all representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities made by the Seller to the Purchaser pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Documents to which the Seller is a party, and (ii) such conveyance does not constitute and is not intended to result in an assumption by the Purchaser or any assignee thereof of any obligation of the Seller or any other Person arising in connection with the Receivables, the associated Related Security or any other obligations of the Seller. In view of the intention of the parties hereto that the conveyances of Receivables made hereunder shall constitute outright sales or contributions, as applicable of such Receivables rather than loans secured thereby, the Seller agrees that it will, on or prior to the Closing Date, xxxx its Records to indicate that the Receivables have been sold or contributed.

-6-

(d) Nothing herein shall be deemed to preclude the Seller from contributing to the Purchaser’s capital, in lieu of selling, Receivables originated by the Seller and all associated Related Security, Collections and Proceeds, and any such contribution is made with the intention that each such contribution, if any, will be made with the same intentions as are set forth in Section 2.01(c) above. Except as provided in Section 2.02(a)(3), the Purchaser hereby acknowledges that Seller shall have no obligations to make capital contributions to Purchaser in respect of Seller’s equity interest in Purchaser or otherwise in order to provide funds to pay the Purchase Price to Seller under this Agreement or for any other reason.

Section 2.02. Purchase Price. (a) The purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) for the Receivables, Related Security, Collections and Proceeds payable on each Purchase Date shall be equal to 100% of the aggregate Outstanding Balance of the Receivables conveyed on that date multiplied by the Discount Factor. The Seller and the Purchaser have each determined the Purchase Price payable on each Purchase Date approximates the fair value of the Receivables, Related Security, Collections and Proceeds sold on such Purchase Date. Such Purchase Price will be payable in full by the Purchaser to the Seller on the related Purchase Date (except that the Purchaser may, with respect to any such purchase, offset against such Purchase Price any amounts owing from the Seller to the Purchaser as provided herein or in the Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement), and shall be paid to the Seller in the following manner:

(1) first, by delivery of immediately available funds, to the extent of the Available Funds;

(2) second, by increasing the amount of the Subordinated Loan, so long as the aggregate principal amount of the Subordinated Loan does not cause the Purchaser’s tangible net worth to be less than the 3% of the aggregate Outstanding Balance of the Receivables then owned by the Purchaser; and

(3) third, by accepting such Receivables, Related Security, Collections and Proceeds as a contribution to Purchaser’s capital.

The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Purchase Price with respect to the Receivables, Related Security, Collections and Proceeds sold on the initial Purchase Date shall be paid (i) first, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.02(b)(2), by means of an increase in the amount of the Subordinated Loan and (ii) second, by means of a contribution to Purchaser’s capital.

(b) Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.02(a)(2), the Seller irrevocably agrees to make each increase in the amount of the Subordinated Loan as contemplated in Section 2.02(a)(2) so long as no Purchase Termination Event exists. The Subordinated Loan owing to the Seller will be evidenced by, and shall be payable in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Subordinated Note and any cash repayment of the Subordinated Loan shall be payable

-7-

solely from Available Funds at the time of each such payment. The Seller is hereby authorized by the Purchaser to maintain a record with respect to the Subordinated Note, evidencing the date and amount of each increase in the Subordinated Loan thereunder, as well as the date of each payment with respect thereto, provided that the failure to maintain such a record shall not affect any obligation of the Purchaser thereunder.

(c) Although the Purchase Price for each Purchase of Receivables, Related Security, Collections and Proceeds shall be due and payable in full by the Purchaser to the Seller on each Purchase Date, settlement of the Purchase Price between the Purchaser and the Seller will be effected on each Distribution Date with respect to all Purchases within the most recently ended Calculation Period. Although cash settlements shall be effected on each Distribution Date, increases or decreases in the Subordinated Loan shall be deemed to have occurred and shall be effective as of the last Business Day of the Calculation Period to which such settlement relates.

(d) Each contribution of Receivables, Related Security, Collections and Proceeds by Seller to Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.02(a)(3) shall be deemed to be a Purchase of such Receivables, Related Security, Collections and Proceeds by Purchaser for all purposes of this Agreement.

Section 2.03. Purchase Price Credits. On each Purchase Date, all Deemed Collections shall be credited (each, a “Purchase Price Credit”) against the Purchase Price otherwise payable hereunder. If the aggregate amount of Purchase Price Credits exceeds the Purchase Price of the Receivables to be sold by the Seller on such Purchase Date, then the Seller will pay to the Purchaser the remaining amount of such Purchase Price Credit in cash not later than the next Business Day; provided that if no Termination Event or a Potential Termination Event exists, the Seller may deduct the remaining amount of such Purchase Price Credit from any amount owed to it under the Subordinated Note.

Section 2.04. Payments and Computations, Etc. All amounts to be paid or deposited by the Purchaser hereunder shall be paid or deposited in accordance with the terms hereof on the day when due in immediately available funds to the account of the Seller designated from time to time by the Seller. In the event that any payment owed by any Person hereunder becomes due on a day that is not a Business Day, then such payment shall be made on the next Business Day. If any Person fails to pay any amount hereunder when due, such Person agrees to pay, on demand, interest on the past due amount at the Default Rate until paid in full; provided, however, that such interest shall not at any time exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable Law. All computations of the Default Rate shall be calculated based on a 365/366 day year.

Section 2.05. Access to Records. (a) In connection with the transfer of Records hereunder, the Seller hereby agrees that following any replacement of Xxxxxxxx 66 Company as the Servicer, it will promptly grant access to the new Servicer to all data embedded in or created by all software used by the Seller to account for its Receivables.

-8-

(b) In addition to the requirements of Section 4.03, the Seller (i) shall take such action reasonably requested by the Purchaser or its assignee that may be necessary or desirable to ensure that the Purchaser has an enforceable ownership interest in the Records relating to the Receivables purchased from, or contributed by, the Seller hereunder and (ii) shall use its reasonable efforts to ensure that the Purchaser and the Servicer each has an enforceable right (whether by license or sublicense or otherwise) to use all of the computer software used to account for the Receivables and/or to recreate such Records.

Section 2.06. Characterization; Granting Clause. (a) If, notwithstanding the intention of the parties expressed in Section 2.01(c), any sale or contribution by the Seller to the Purchaser of Receivables, Related Security, Collections and Proceeds hereunder shall be characterized as a secured loan and not a sale or contribution, as the case may be, then this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a security agreement under the UCC and other applicable Law. For this purpose and without being in derogation of the parties’ intention that each sale and contribution of Receivables, Related Security, Collections and Proceeds hereunder shall constitute a true sale or contribution, respectively, thereof, the Seller hereby grants to the Purchaser a duly perfected security interest in all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in, whether now existing or hereafter arising, in and to (i) (A) the Receivables, (B) all Related Security with respect thereto, and (C) all Collections and (ii) all Proceeds of any of the foregoing, which security interest shall be prior to all other Liens thereon. The Purchaser and its assigns shall have as against the Seller, in addition to the rights and remedies which they may have under this Agreement, all other rights and remedies provided to a secured creditor under the UCC and other applicable Law, which rights and remedies shall be cumulative. The Seller hereby authorizes Purchaser (or any of its assigns), as secured party, within the meaning of Section 9-509 of any applicable enactment of the UCC, to file, without further authorization by Seller, as debtor, the UCC financing statements contemplated hereby. In the event that a court of competent jurisdiction holds that the transactions hereunder are not true sales or contributions, each of the Seller and the Purchaser represents and warrants as to itself that, each remittance of Collections by the Seller to the Purchaser hereunder will have been made (i) in payment of a debt incurred by the Seller in the ordinary course of the Seller’s and the Purchaser’s business or financial affairs and (ii) made in the ordinary course of the Seller’s and the Purchaser’s business or financial affairs.

Section 2.07. Transfer by Purchaser; Third-Party Beneficiary. (a) The Seller acknowledges and agrees that the Purchaser may, pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement, sell and assign undivided interests in the Receivables and assign its rights under this Agreement to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Facility Agents and their Purchase Groups) and (b) the Seller and the Purchaser acknowledge and agree that, by virtue of the transactions contemplated in the Receivables Purchase Agreement, the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Facility Agents and their Purchase Groups) shall be an assignee of this Agreement and, following the occurrence of a Termination Event, shall have the right to enforce directly all rights hereunder of Purchaser and all obligations hereunder of Seller (but without the assumption of any obligations or liabilities hereunder).

-9-

ARTICLE III

(g) Litigation. As of the Closing Date, there is no litigation pending or, to the Seller’s knowledge, threatened in writing, against or affecting the Seller or any of its Subsidiaries that (i) purports to adversely affect the legality, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (other than such litigation that the Purchaser has reasonably determined to be frivolous) or (ii) has had or could reasonably be expected to result in, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect or a Parent Material Adverse Effect;

-12-

(i) Payments from the Purchaser. The Purchase Price payable by Purchaser hereunder in connection with each sale of Receivables hereunder represents a reasonable arms-length price for the Receivables and constitutes reasonably equivalent value for the Receivables so sold. No sale of Receivables hereunder was made for or on account of an antecedent debt owed by the Seller to the Purchaser or is or may be voidable as a fraudulent transfer under Section 548 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code or a voidable preference under Section 547 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code;

The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Seller in respect of taxes or other governmental charges are, in the opinion of the Seller, adequate.
