Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Originator will (i) on or prior to the date hereof (and promptly upon any changes or additions at any time and from time to time thereafter), xxxx its master data processing records and other books and records relating to the Purchased Assets with respect to such Originator with a legend describing the Buyer’s ownership interest therein (and the assignment by the Buyer thereof to the Assignee) and (ii) upon the request of the Buyer, (a) xxxx each Contract with a legend describing the Buyer’s ownership interest in the Purchased Assets with respect to such Originator (and the assignment by the Buyer thereof to the Assignee), (b) execute and file such financing or continuation statements or amendments thereto or assignments thereof as may be requested by the Buyer and (c) deliver to the Buyer or its designee all Contracts and Records (including all multiple originals of any such Contract) relating to the Purchased Assets with respect to such Originator, with any appropriate endorsement or assignment requested by the Buyer.

Each Originator shall at all times maintain its chief executive offices within a jurisdiction in the United States (other than
7
the states of Florida, Louisiana, Maryland and Tennessee) and in which Article 9 of the UCC is in effect, and in the event it moves its chief executive office to a location that may charge taxes, fees, costs, expenses or other charges to perfect an interest in the Purchased Assets with respect to such Originator, such Originator shall pay all taxes, fees, costs, expenses and other charges associated with perfecting the Buyer’s ownership interest in the Purchased Assets with respect to such Originator and any other costs and expenses incurred in order to maintain the enforceability of this Agreement and the ownership interest of the Buyer in the Purchased Assets with respect to such Originator.
Section 2.6 Contractual Payment Obligations. Notwithstanding any limitation on recourse contained in this Agreement, each Originator hereby consents and agrees as follows:
(a) If on any day the Outstanding Balance of a Receivable originated by any Originator is either (i) reduced or cancelled as a result of any defective or rejected goods or services, any cash discount or any adjustment by such Originator or (ii) reduced or cancelled as a result of a setoff in respect of any claim by any Person (whether such claim arises out of the same or a related transaction or an unrelated transaction), such Originator hereby agrees to pay to the Buyer on such day the amount of such reduction in the Outstanding Balance or, if such Receivable is cancelled, the amount of the Outstanding Balance of such Receivable in full.
(b) If on any day any of the representations or warranties made or deemed made by any Originator in Article III is no longer true with respect to a Receivable originated by such Originator, such Originator shall pay to the Buyer on such day the Outstanding Balance of such Receivable in full.
Section 2.7 Servicing Agent. (e) Until the Buyer (or the Assignee pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement) gives contrary notice, the Buyer hereby appoints each Originator as its agent (and as sub-collection agent under the terms of the Receivables Purchase Agreement) with respect to the servicing, administering and collecting of the Receivables originated by such Originator, and each such Originator hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to perform in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions of the Receivables Purchase Agreement. Each Originator hereby further agrees not to voluntarily resign as agent for the Buyer in connection with such servicing, administering and collecting functions. Each of the Originators hereby acknowledges that the Buyer can replace such Originator as its agent (and sub-collection agent) at any time for any reason.
(a) As servicing agent for the Buyer, each Originator shall take all actions necessary or advisable to collect each Receivable originated by such Originator with care and diligence and to perform all other servicing activities related to such Receivables as are required by the Collection Agent pursuant to Article II and VII of the Receivables Purchase Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Originator hereby agrees to provide such
reports and other information with respect to the Receivables originated by such Originator required to be furnished by the Collection Agent pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement.
(b) In consideration for each Originator’s services pursuant to this Section 2.7, the Buyer shall pay to each Originator a cash fee of One Hundred Dollars ($100) per month payable on the Monthly Settlement Date with respect to the immediately preceding month.

Credit and Collection Policy
Exhibit B
to
Revolving Subordinated Promissory Note
December 21, 2009
For Value Received, BWA Receivables Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to the order of [Name of Originator], a Delaware corporation (“Lender”), at the principal office of Lender at [Insert Address], or at such other place as Lender may designate from time to time, the unpaid principal amount hereof, together with accrued interest thereon at a floating rate per annum equal to the LMIR (which rate shall not exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law), in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds, on the sixtieth (60th) day after the “Termination Date” with respect to Lender described in the Receivables Sale Agreement referred to below or, if such sixtieth (60th) day is not a Business Day, on the first Business Day thereafter (such sixtieth (60th) day or later Business Day being referred to as the “Maturity Date”). Except as otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein and defined in the Receivables Sale Agreement dated as of December 21, 2009 between Borrower and the Originators party thereto (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time the “Receivables Sale Agreement”) shall be used herein as so defined. This note is one of the “Notes” referred to in the Receivables Sale Agreement.
1. Interest. Interest shall be computed hereunder for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a year consisting of three hundred sixty-five (365) days. All accrued interest on the principal amount of this Note will be due and payable on the twenty-fifth (25th) day of each month or, if such twenty-fifth (25th) day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, with interest accrued thereon until such next succeeding Business Day, beginning on January 25, 2010; provided, however, that on or prior to the Maturity Date, unless Lender instructs Borrower otherwise, such interest may be paid by means of an increase in the amount of the unpaid principal amount hereof by an amount equal to the interest being so paid.
2. Principal. The principal amount of this Note shall be initially established and adjusted from time to time in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Receivables Sale Agreement (the terms and conditions of which are hereby incorporated in this Note by this reference) and the terms of this Note. Lender shall record the initial principal amount of this Note, all adjustments thereto and all payments thereof on Schedule 1 annexed hereto and made a part hereof, or on a continuation thereof which shall be attached hereto and made a part hereof, and any such recordation shall, absent manifest error, constitute prima facie evidence of the information so recorded; provided, however, that the failure to so record shall not limit the obligations of Borrower hereunder or under the Receivables Sale Agreement.
3. Subordination. Borrower and, by its acceptance of this Note, Lender hereby acknowledge and agree that any and all payments made in respect of this Note are and shall
remain subordinate and junior in right of payment to all Aggregate Unpaids (as defined in the Receivables Purchase Agreement hereinafter described) owed to Wachovia Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent (together with its successors in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) for itself and various other purchasers from time to time party thereto (the “Purchasers” or “Senior Interest Holders”), pursuant that certain Receivables Purchase Agreement dated as of December 21, 2009 by and among Borrower, the Purchasers and the Administrative Agent, BorgWarner Inc. as collection agent (as amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Receivables Purchase Agreement”). Borrower shall, subject to the terms of this Section 3, have the right to pay all or any part of the unpaid principal amount of this Note without premium or penalty at any time; provided, that interest shall be paid on the amount repaid to and including the date of repayment.
In the event of any dissolution, winding up, liquidation, readjustment, reorganization or other similar event relating to Borrower, whether voluntary or involuntary, partial or complete, and whether in bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership proceedings, or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or any other marshaling of the assets
17
and liabilities of Borrower or any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of Borrower (such proceedings being herein collectively called “Bankruptcy Proceedings”), the Senior Interest shall first be paid and performed in full and in cash before the Lender shall be entitled to receive and to retain any payment or distribution in respect to this Note. In order to implement the foregoing, in accepting this Note, the Lender hereby irrevocably agrees that the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Lender or otherwise, may demand, xxx for, collect, receive and receipt for any and all such payments or distributions, and file, prove and vote or consent in any such Bankruptcy Proceedings with respect to any and all claims of the Lender relating to this Note, in each case until the Senior Interests shall have been paid and performed in full and in cash.
In the event that the Lender receives any payment or other distribution of any kind or character from Borrower or from other source whatsoever, in respect of this Note, other than as expressly permitted by the terms of this Note, such payment or other distribution shall be received for the sole benefit of the Senior Interest Holders and shall be turned over by the Lender to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Senior Interest Holders) forthwith.
Notwithstanding any payments or distributions received by the Senior Interest Holders in respect of this Note, while any Bankruptcy Proceedings are pending the Lender shall not be subrogated to the then existing rights of the Senior Interest Holders in respect of the Senior Interests until the Senior Interests have been paid and performed in full and in cash. Upon payment in full of the Aggregate Unpaids and termination of the commitments under the Receivables Purchase Agreement (the “Final Payout Date”), the Lender shall be subrogated to the then existing rights of the Senior Interest Holders, if any.
In accepting this Note, the Lender agrees that (i) the Lender shall not, until the Senior Interest has been paid and performed in full and in cash, transfer, pledge or assign, or commence legal proceedings to enforce or collect this Note or any rights in respect hereof; (ii) the Lender shall not, without the advance written consent of the Administrative Agent, commence, or join with any other Person in commencing, any Bankruptcy Proceedings with respect to Borrower until at least one year and one day shall have passed since the Final Payout Date shall have occurred; (iii) if, at any time, any payment (in whole or in part) of any Senior Interest is rescinded or must be restored or returned by a Senior Interest Holder (whether in connection with Bankruptcy
Proceedings or otherwise), these provisions shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, as though such payment had not been made; (iv) the Lender waives: (x) notice of acceptance of these provisions by any of the Senior Interest Holders; (y) notice of the existence, creation, non-payment or non-performance of all or any of the Senior Interests; and (z) all diligence in enforcement, collection or protection of, or realization upon, the Senior Interests, or any thereof, or any security therefor; (v) these provisions constitute a continuing offer from the holder of this Note to all Persons who become the holders of, or who continue to hold, Senior Interests, and these provisions are made for the benefit of the Senior Interest Holders, and the Administrative Agent or the Purchaser may proceed to enforce such provisions on behalf of each of such Persons; (vi) the Lender will not (A) institute against, join any other Person in instituting against or take any action, direct or indirect, in furtherance or contemplation of instituting against, Borrower any bankruptcy, insolvency, winding up, dissolution, receivership, conservatorship or other similar proceeding or action or(B) exercise any right of set-off or recoupment, or assert any counterclaim, against Borrower, in each case so long as there shall not have elapsed one year and one day since the Final Payout Date has occurred; and (vii) the Lender expressly recognizes and agrees that the obligations represented by this Note are not secured by any interest in any of the assets of Borrower, including, without limitation, any Receivables or Related Security.
The provisions set forth in this Section 3 are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Lender, on the one hand, and the Senior Interest Holders on the other hand. Nothing contained in this Note is intended to or shall impair, as between Borrower, its creditors (other than the Senior Interest Holders) and the Lender, Borrower’s obligation, which is unconditional and absolute, to pay the Lender the principal of and interest on this Note as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof or to affect then relative rights of the Lender and creditors of Borrower (other than the Senior Interest Holders).
4. Waivers. Borrower hereby waives presentment, diligence, notice of dishonor, payment, demand, protest, notice of protest, notice of nonpayment and all other demands and notices of every kind in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance and enforcement of this Note and, to the full extent permitted by law, the right to plead any statute of limitations as a defense to any demands hereunder. Borrower and, by its acceptance of this Note, Lender also assent to extension of the time of payment, forbearance or other indulgence without notice.
5. Successors and Assigns; Governing Law. This Note applies to, inures to the benefit of, and binds the successors and assigns of, Borrower and Lender. Lender may not assign any duties or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Borrower and the Administrative Agent and any attempted pledge or assignment in contravention of this Section 5 shall be null and void ab initio. This Note is made under, and all questions
18
concerning the construction, validity and interpretation of this Note shall be governed by, the internal laws of the State of New York.
6. Cancellation. On the first Business Day after the Maturity Date at the close of business of which all principal and accrued interest owing on this Note have been paid in full, this Note will be surrendered to Borrower for cancellation.
In Witness Whereof, Borrower has executed and delivered this Note by its duly authorized officer as of the day hereof.
