any Diluted Receivables.
2. Vestar III Repurchase Obligation. On the seventh Business
Day following delivery to Vestar of the notice referred to in the second
sentence of paragraph 8(b) (the "Repurchase Date") with respect to a Pool of
Purchased Receivables, Vestar III agrees to repurchase from the Purchaser, up to

remaining Diluted Receivables. Vestar III agrees that any payments made the
Customers on account of any Diluted Receivables in which it owns a fractional
interest shall be paid first to the Purchaser until the Purchaser has received
in full the Purchase Price paid by it for such Receivables together with all
other amounts owed to it thereunder pursuant to the Receivables Purchase
Agreement.
No less than ten Business Days prior to each Final Settlement
Date, the Purchaser shall give Vestar III written notice of the Repurchase
Obligation as of such notification date (assuming such date was a Final
Settlement Date).
3. No Subrogation, Contribution, Reimbursement or Indemnity.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Repurchase Agreement, Vestar
III hereby irrevocably waives all rights which may have arisen in connection
with this Repurchase Agreement to be subrogated to any of the rights (whether
contractual, under Title 11 of the United States Code, including Section 509
thereof, under common law or otherwise) of the Purchaser against the Seller,
Great American or ▇▇▇▇▇▇ American or against any right of offset of the
Purchaser with respect to the Obligations. Vestar III hereby further irrevocably
waives all contractual, common law, statutory or other rights of reimbursement,
contribution, exoneration or indemnity (or any similar right) from or against
the Seller, Great American, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ American or any other Person which may have
arisen in connection with this Repurchase Agreement. The provisions of this
paragraph shall survive the termination of the Purchase Agreement and the
Repurchase Agreement; provided that the foregoing waiver shall be of no force
and effect 370 days following the termination of the Purchase Agreement and the
Repurchase Agreement but only if during such 370-day period the Seller shall not
have commenced or have commenced against it a bankruptcy proceeding under Title
11 of the United States Code.
4. Amendments, etc. with respect to the Purchased Receivables.
Vestar III shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any
reservation of rights against Vestar III, and without notice to or further
assent by Vestar III, any demand for payment of any of the Purchased Receivables
made by the Purchaser may be rescinded by such Purchaser, and the liability of
any Customer upon or for any part of the Purchased Receivables, or any
collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect
thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended,
amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by
the Purchaser, and the Purchase Agreement or any other documents executed and
delivered in connection therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or
terminated, in whole or in part, as the Purchaser may deem advisable from time
to time, and any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time
held by the Purchaser for the payment of the Purchased Receivables may be sold,
exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. The Purchaser shall not have any
obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it
as security for the Purchased Receivables or for this Repurchase Agreement or
any property subject thereto.
5. Repurchase Agreement Absolute and Unconditional. Vestar III
waives any and all notices of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of the
Purchase Agreement or any of the Purchased Receivables and notice of or proof of
reliance by the Purchaser upon this Repurchase Agreement or acceptance of this
Repurchase Agreement; the Purchased Agreement shall conclusively be deemed to
have been created, contracted or incurred in reliance upon this Repurchase
Agreement; and all dealings between the Seller, Great American, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ American
or Vestar III, on the one hand, and the Purchaser, on the other, shall likewise
be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this
Repurchase Agreement. Vestar III waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand
for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon the Seller, Great
American, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ American or Vestar III with respect to the Purchased
Receivables. This Repurchase Agreement shall be construed as a continuing,
absolute and unconditional Repurchase Agreement without regard to (k) the
validity or enforceability of the Purchase Agreement, the Receivables Transfer
Agreement, the Assignments or any other document or instrument executed in
connection with any of the foregoing documents, any of the Purchased Receivables
or any collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect
thereto at any time or from time to time held by the Purchaser, (l) any defense
which relates, directly or indirectly, to the matters covered by the
representations and warranties set forth in the Purchase Agreement or this
Repurchase Agreement or set-off which in either case may at any time be
available to or be asserted by the Seller, Great American or ▇▇▇▇▇▇ American
against the Purchaser, or (m) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without
notice to or knowledge of the Seller, Great American, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ American or Vestar
III) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or
legal discharge of the Seller, Great American, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ American, any Customer for
the Purchased Receivables, or of Vestar III under this Repurchase Agreement, in
bankruptcy or in any other instance; provided that this sentence shall not
prevent Vestar III from being discharged from its obligations under this
Repurchase Agreement pursuant to confirmation of a plan of reorganization under
Chapter 11 of the United States Code in a case in which Vestar III is the
debtor. Except as provided in paragraph 8(b), when the Purchaser is pursuing its
rights and remedies hereunder against Vestar III, the Purchaser may, but shall
be under no obligation to, pursue such rights and remedies as it may have
against the Seller, the Customer on any Purchased Receivable or any other Person
or against any collateral security or guarantee for the Purchased Receivables or
any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by the Purchaser to
pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from the Seller,
any such Customer or any such other Person or to realize upon any such
collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any
release of the Seller, any such Customer or any such other Person or of any such
collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve Vestar III
of any liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and
remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of the
Purchaser against Vestar III.
6. Reinstatement. This Repurchase Agreement shall continue to
be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or
any part thereof, of any of the Purchased Receivables is rescinded or must
otherwise be restored or returned by the Purchaser upon the insolvency,
bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Seller or any
Customer or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or
conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Seller or any Customer or
any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments
had not been made. Vestar III agrees that it will indemnify the Purchaser for
all reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and
expenses of counsel) incurred by the Purchaser in connection with such
rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in
defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference,
fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or
similar law.
7. Payments. Vestar III hereby agrees that all payments
made by it hereunder will be paid to the Purchaser in immediately available
funds without set-off in U.S. Dollars at the office of the Purchaser at the
address for notices thereto specified in the Purchase Agreement.
8. Deposit of Capital Call Notices. (a) On each Purchase Date,
Vestar III will deliver to the Purchaser Capital Call Notices for the Pool of
Receivables to be purchased on such date. Each of the Capital Call Notices
delivered by Vestar III to the Purchaser hereunder shall be held by the
Purchaser and shall be (i) duly completed by the Purchaser no earlier than the
Final Settlement Date for the related Pool of Receivables, stating the amount of
the applicable Capital Contribution thereunder will be equal to the pro rata
share of the applicable Limited Partner (determined in proportion to such
Limited Partner's total capital commitment obligation to Vestar III under the
Partnership Agreement) of the Repurchase Obligation due on such Final Settlement
Date (such amount for a Pool of Purchased Receivables, the "Reserved Amount" for
such Pool) and (ii) delivered by the Purchaser to the Limited Partners only in
the event that Vestar III fails to pay any of its payment obligations hereunder
within three Business Days after the applicable Final Settlement Date. All
payments received by the Purchaser from the Limited Partners pursuant to the
Capital Call Notices shall be applied to the payment of Vestar III's obligations
hereunder.
(b) It shall be a condition precedent to the obligation of
Vestar III to pay any amounts hereunder, and to the right of the Purchaser to
deliver any Deposited Notices that the Purchaser shall have made demand, in
writing, for payment of any Diluted Receivables of both Great American and
▇▇▇▇▇▇ American to the extent each such Person is obligated therefor under the
Receivables Transfer Agreement or any guaranties thereof. The Purchaser shall
deliver a copy of such notice to Vestar. It shall be a further condition
precedent to the right of the Purchaser to deliver any Deposited Notices to the
Limited Partners that the Purchaser shall have given Vestar III no less than 2
Business Days' prior written notice of such intended action.
(c) No later than the fifteenth (15) Business Day following
each Final Settlement Date, the Purchaser shall deliver to Vestar III any

authority under such laws and its partnership agreement and all
material governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals
required to carry on its business as now conducted.

any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 14 hereof), delay,
indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy
hereunder or to have acquiesced in any default or breach of any of the terms and

a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege
hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise
of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Purchaser of any right
or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any
