THIS PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT, dated as of December 10, 2010, as amended on December 21, 2011, (as it may be further amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, this “Agreement”) is entered into among the VARIOUS ENTITIES LISTED ON SCHEDULE I HERETO (each, in its capacity as originator hereunder, an “Originator”; and collectively, “Originators”), ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ WORLD INDUSTRIES, INC., individually (“Armstrong”) and as initial Servicer (as defined below) and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ RECEIVABLES COMPANY LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of Delaware (the “Company”).

DEFINITIONS

Unless otherwise indicated herein, capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Agreement are defined in Exhibit I to the Receivables Purchase Agreement of even date herewith (as the same exists as of the date hereof or as it may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Receivables Purchase Agreement”), among the Company, as Seller, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ World Industries, Inc. (individually, “Armstrong”), as initial Servicer (in such capacity, together with its successors and permitted assigns in such capacity, the “Servicer”), Liberty Street Funding LLC, as Conduit Purchaser, and The Bank of Nova Scotia, as Administrative Agent, Related Committed Purchaser and LC Bank. All references herein to months are to calendar months unless otherwise expressly indicated.

BACKGROUND:

1. The Company is a special purpose entity, all of the issued and outstanding voting shares of which are owned by the Originators;

2. The Originators generate Receivables in the ordinary course of their businesses;

3. The Originators, in order to finance their respective businesses, wish to sell Receivables to the Company, and the Company is willing to purchase Receivables and the Related Rights from the Originators, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein;

4. The Originators and the Company intend this transaction to be a true sale or contribution, as the case may be, of Receivables and Related Rights by each Originator to the Company, providing the Company with the full benefits of ownership of the Receivables, and the Originators and the Company do not intend the transactions hereunder to be characterized as a loan from the Company to any Originator; and

5. The Company intends to sell the Purchaser’s Interest in the Receivables and Related Rights to the Purchasers pursuant to the Receivables Purchase Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements herein contained, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

AGREEMENT TO PURCHASE AND SELL

SECTION 1.1 Conveyance of Receivables. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, each Originator, severally and for itself, hereby does (i) with respect to the Receivables contributed to the Company pursuant to Section 3.1 (the “Contributed Receivables”), contribute to the capital of, and transfer, assign and otherwise convey to the Company, without recourse (except as expressly provided herein), and the Company hereby agrees to, and hereby does, acquire all of such Originator’s right, title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to, and (ii) with respect to any other Receivables sold to the Company hereunder (the “Sold Receivables”), sell, transfer, assign and otherwise convey to the Company, without recourse (except to the extent expressly provided herein), and the Company agrees to purchase from such Originator, from time to time on or after the Closing Date, but before the Purchase and Sale Termination Date (as defined in Section 1.4 hereof), all of such Originator’s right, title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to:

(a) each Receivable of such Originator that existed and was owing to such Originator at the opening of such Originator’s business on the Closing Date (other than any Contributed Receivables);

(b) each Receivable generated by such Originator from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the Purchase and Sale Termination Date;

(d) all amounts due or to become due to such Originator with respect to any of the foregoing;

(e) all books and records of such Originator related to any of the foregoing, and all Transaction Documents to which such Originator is a party, together with all rights (but none of the obligations) of such Originator thereunder;

(f) all rights, remedies, powers, privileges, title and interest (but not obligations) of such Originator in and to (x) each Lock-Box Account and each Collection Account, (y) all amounts on deposit therein, and (z) any related investment property (as such term is defined in the applicable UCC); and

(g) all Collections and other proceeds (as defined in the applicable UCC) and products of any of the foregoing that are or were received by such Originator on or after the Closing Date, including, without limitation, all funds which either are received by such Originator, the Company or the Servicer from or on behalf of the Obligors in payment of any amounts owed (including, without limitation, invoice price, finance charges, interest and all other charges) in respect of such Receivables or are applied to such amounts owed by the Obligors (including, without limitation, any insurance payments that such Originator, the Company or the Servicer applies in the ordinary course of its business to amounts owed in respect of any Receivable, and net proceeds of sale or other disposition of repossessed goods or other collateral or property of the Obligors in respect of Receivables, or any other parties directly or indirectly liable for payment of such Receivables)

(clauses (a) through (g), collectively, the “Collateral”); provided, that upon receipt by the Seller of the Repurchase Price with respect to any Receivable in accordance with Section 3.3, such Receivable and all Related Rights immediately shall cease to constitute Collateral hereunder and shall be reconveyed to the applicable Originator in accordance with Section 3.4 and, thereafter, shall cease to constitute a Receivable for all purposes hereunder.

All purchases and contributions hereunder are absolute and irrevocable and shall be made without recourse (except as expressly provided herein), but shall be made pursuant to, and in reliance upon, the representations, warranties and covenants of the Originators set forth in this Agreement with respect to such Receivables. No obligation or liability to any Obligor on any Receivable is intended to be assumed by the Company hereunder, and any such assumption is expressly disclaimed. The Company’s foregoing commitment to purchase Receivables and the proceeds and rights described in clauses (c) through (g) (collectively, the “Related Rights”) is herein called the “Purchase Facility.”

SECTION 1.2 Timing of Purchases.

(a) Closing Date Purchases. Each Originator’s entire right, title and interest in (i) each Receivable that existed and was owing to such Originator as of the opening of such Originator’s business on the Closing Date and (ii) all Related Rights with respect thereto automatically shall be, and shall be deemed to have been, sold or contributed by such Originator to the Company on the Closing Date.

(b) Subsequent Purchases. On or after the Closing Date, until the Purchase and Sale Termination Date, each Receivable generated by each Originator and the Related Rights thereto shall be, and shall be deemed to have been, sold by such Originator to the Company immediately (and without further action) upon the creation of such Receivable.

SECTION 1.3 Consideration for Purchases. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Company agrees to make Purchase Price payments to the Originators in accordance with Article III and to reflect all contributions in accordance with Section 3.1. With respect to the Contributed Receivables, the Purchase Price therefore shall be deemed paid in full in cash and returned to the Company as a capital contribution by Armstrong.

SECTION 1.4 Purchase and Sale Termination Date. The “Purchase and Sale Termination Date” shall be the earliest to occur of (a) the date the Purchase Facility is terminated pursuant to Section 8.2 and (b) the Payment Date (as defined in Section 2.2) immediately following the day on which the Originators shall have given at least 30 days’ prior written notice to the Company and the Administrative Agent that the Originators desire to terminate this Agreement.

SECTION 1.5 Intention of the Parties. It is the express intent of each Originator and the Company that each conveyance by such Originator to the Company pursuant to this Agreement of the Receivables and Related Rights, including without limitation all Receivables, if any, constituting general intangibles as defined in the UCC, and all Related Rights, be construed as a valid and perfected sale and absolute assignment or contribution, as the case may be (without

recourse except as expressly provided herein) of such Receivables and Related Rights by such Originator to the Company (rather than the grant of a security interest to secure a debt or other obligation of such Originator) and that the right, title and interest in and to such Receivables and Related Rights conveyed to the Company be prior to the rights of and enforceable against all other Persons at any time, including, without limitation, lien creditors, secured lenders, purchasers and any Person claiming through such Originator. However, if, contrary to the mutual intent of the parties, any conveyance of Receivables and Related Rights, including without limitation all Receivables, if any, constituting general intangibles as defined in the UCC, is not construed to be both a valid and perfected sale and absolute assignment or contribution of such Receivables and Related Rights, and a conveyance of such Receivables and Related Rights that is prior to the rights of and enforceable against all other Persons at any time, including without limitation lien creditors, secured lenders, purchasers and any Person claiming through such Originator, then, it is the intent of such Originator and the Company that (i) this Agreement also shall be deemed to be, and hereby is, a security agreement within the meaning of the UCC; and (ii) such Originator shall be deemed to have granted to the Company as of the date of this Agreement, and such Originator hereby grants to the Company a security interest in, to and under all of such Originator’s right, title and interest in and to the Receivables and the Related Rights now existing and hereafter created by such Originator transferred or purported to be transferred hereunder.

ARTICLE II

PURCHASE REPORT; CALCULATION OF PURCHASE PRICE

SECTION 2.1 Purchase Report. On the Closing Date and on the Business Day immediately preceding each Settlement Date (each such date, a “Monthly Purchase Report Date”), the Servicer shall deliver to the Company, each Originator and the Administrative Agent a report in substantially the form of Exhibit A (each such report being herein called a “Purchase Report”) setting forth, among other things:

(a) Receivables purchased by the Company from each Originator (or, in the case of Contributed Receivables, received by the Company from ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇) (i) in the case of the Purchase Report to be delivered on the Closing Date, on the Closing Date, and (ii) thereafter, during the period commencing on (and including) the first day of the Settlement Period immediately preceding the calendar month in which such Monthly Purchase Report Date occurs to (and including) the last day of such Settlement Period; and

(b) the calculations described in Section 3.3(d) that are required to be included in such Purchase Report;

provided, that if a Termination Event or Incipient Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing, the Servicer shall, if so requested by the Administrative Agent, be required to deliver a Purchase Report to such Person for the period so requested by such Person (including as frequently as weekly or daily, provided, that such daily or weekly reporting shall only be required to include (x) the aggregate Outstanding Balance of the Pool Receivables at the beginning and end of each period covered, (y) aggregate sales during such period, and (z) aggregate Collections during such period).

SECTION 2.2 Calculation of Purchase Price. The “Purchase Price” to be paid to each Originator for the Receivables and the Related Rights that are purchased hereunder from such Originator shall be determined in accordance with the following formula:

	September 30,	September 30,
PP	=	OB x FMVD

where:

PP	=	Purchase Price for each Receivable as calculated on the relevant Payment Date.

OB	=	The Outstanding Balance of such Receivable on the relevant Payment Date.

FMVD	=	The “Fair Market Value Discount”, as measured on such Payment Date, which is equal to the quotient (expressed as percentage) of (a) one divided by (b) the sum of (i) one, plus (ii) the product of (A) the sum of (x) the Prime Rate on such Payment Date and (y) the Servicing Fee Rate, and (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Days’ Sales Outstanding (calculated as of the close of business of the last Business Day of the calendar month immediately preceding such Payment Date) and the denominator of which is 365.

“Payment Date” means (i) the Closing Date and (ii) each Business Day thereafter that Originators are open for business.

“Prime Rate” means, for each monthly period covered by a Purchase Report, a per annum rate equal to the “Prime Rate” as published in the “Money Rates” section of The Wall Street Journal on the first day of such monthly period or if such information ceases to be published in The Wall Street Journal, such other publication as determined by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion.

ARTICLE III

(a) On the Closing Date, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall, and hereby does, on a one-time basis, contribute to the capital of the Company either, or a combination of, (i) Receivables and Related Rights consisting of each Receivable of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ that existed and was owing to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ on the Closing Date, beginning with the oldest of such Receivables and continuing chronologically thereafter and/or (ii) cash, in either case such that the aggregate Outstanding Balance of all such Contributed Receivables plus the amount of cash, after giving effect to such contribution, shall be at least equal to 25% of the Purchase Limit as of the Closing Date. The Company shall reflect a capital contribution on its books and records from ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ contributing such Receivables or cash. The value (the “Contributed Value”) of any such capital contribution consisting of Receivables and Related Rights shall be calculated using the formula set forth in the Purchase Price.

(b) On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, on the Closing Date and each Payment Date thereafter, the Company agrees to pay to each Originator the Purchase Price for the Receivables sold by such Originator to the Company on such date. Such Purchase Price on each such Payment Date shall be paid:

(i) To the extent that the Company has cash available therefor and such payment is not prohibited under the Receivables Purchase Agreement, in cash (the amount of such cash paid to Originators being allocated among the Originators on a pro rata basis according to the Purchase Price owing to each Originator on such Payment Date (but excluding from such cash Purchase Price with respect to any Originator the aggregate stated amount of any Letters of Credit issued at the request of such Originator in connection with such sale)).

(ii) To the extent that such Purchase Price owed to any Originator exceeds the sum of (x) the amount of such Purchase Price paid by the Company in cash pursuant to clause (i) above and (y) the amount of such Purchase Price paid by the Company pursuant to the issuance of a Letter of Credit pursuant to clause (iii) below, such Originator hereby agrees to make a subordinated loan (each, a “Subordinated Loan”) to the Company in the amount of such excess. Such Subordinated Loans of an Originator shall be evidenced by a subordinated promissory note in the form of Exhibit B with an initial principal balance determined as of the Closing Date (each such promissory note, as it may be amended, supplemented, indorsed or otherwise modified from time to time, together with all promissory notes issued from time to time in substitution therefor or renewal thereof in accordance with the Transaction Documents, being herein called a “Company Note”). The Subordinated Loans shall bear interest and be payable as provided in the Company Note. The principal balance (the “Company Note Principal Balance”) of the Company Note issued to a particular Originator shall equal (i) the sum of (x) the initial principal balance thereof plus (y) the amount of any Subordinated Loans made to the Company by such Originator plus (z) the amount of any Expired Undrawn Amounts in respect of the L/C Note issued by such Originator minus (ii) the amount of principal payments (including any deemed principal payments) made by the Company to such Originator pursuant to the terms of such Company Note.

(iii) (1) If any Originator so requests, the Company shall pay all or part of such Purchase Price owed to such Originator by causing the Issuance of a Letter of Credit (pursuant to the terms of the Receivables Purchase Agreement) in favor of one or more beneficiaries selected by such Purchaser. Such Originator shall reimburse the Company for its expenses incurred in connection with obtaining such Letter of Credit and shall also pay Company a fee in an amount equal to 0.125% of the face amount thereof for procuring such Letter of Credit; provided, that such fees and expenses may be offset against the outstanding principal amount of the Company Note payable to such Originator.

(2) The face amount of each Letter of Credit issued at the request of an Originator shall be applied (x) as a payment deduction from the applicable Purchase Price otherwise payable by the Company to such Originator and (y) to the extent such face amount exceeds such Purchase Price, as a reduction in the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Company Note of the applicable Originator (the amounts described in clauses (x) and (y) above, the “Availability Amounts”).

(3) Notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Transaction Document to the contrary, it is understood and agreed that in no event shall any Originator have any reimbursement or recourse obligations in respect of any Letter of Credit.

(4) In connection with the initial issuance of any such Letter of Credit at the request of an Originator, the Company shall execute and deliver to such Originator a note substantially in the form of Exhibit C (each such note, as it may be amended, supplemented, indorsed or otherwise modified from time to time, together with all notes issued from time to time in substitution thereof in accordance with the Transaction Documents, being herein called an “L/C Note”) in favor of such Originator, with an initial principal amount equal to the face amount of such Letter of Credit. In the event that a Letter of Credit is issued at the request of an Originator, the principal amount of the applicable L/C Note shall be increased by the face amount of such Letter of Credit (such amount, an “L/C Principal Increase”). In the event that a Letter of Credit is drawn upon, the principal amount of the applicable L/C Note shall be reduced by the amount of such draw (such amount, a “Drawn Amount”).

(5) In the event that any portion of a Letter of Credit (as the same may be extended, replaced or renewed) expires undrawn, the principal amount of the applicable L/C Note shall be reduced by such undrawn amount (the “Expired Undrawn Amount”) and the principal balance of the Company Note in favor of the relevant Originator shall be increased by such undrawn amount. The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that any Expired Undrawn Amounts that increase the principal balance of any Company Note shall be deemed to be paid prior to any other outstanding principal amounts on such Company Note.

(6) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the repayment of each L/C Note shall be senior to repayment of the Company Notes. The principal balance (the “LC Note Principal Balance”) of the L/C Note issued to a particular Originator shall equal at any time (i) the sum of (x) the initial principal balance thereof plus (y) any L/C Principal Increase with respect to such L/C Note, minus (ii) the sum of (x) the amount of principal payments (including any deemed principal payments) made by the Company to such Originator pursuant to the terms of such L/C Note plus (y) the amount of any Drawn Amounts in respect of such L/C Note plus (z) the amount of any Expired Undrawn Amounts in respect of such L/C Note.

(c) The Servicer shall make all appropriate record keeping entries with respect to the Company Notes, the L/C Notes or otherwise to reflect the foregoing payments and reductions and any reductions made pursuant to Section 3.3, and the Servicer’s books and records shall constitute prima facie evidence of the principal amount of, and accrued interest on, any Company Note or L/C Note at any time. Furthermore, the Servicer shall hold the Company Notes and the L/C Notes for the benefit of the Originators. Each Originator hereby irrevocably authorizes the Servicer to ▇▇▇▇ the Company Notes or L/C Notes “CANCELED” and to return such Company Notes or L/C Notes to the Company upon the final payment thereof after the occurrence of the Purchase and Sale Termination Date.

SECTION 3.2 Company and L/C Note Allocations. If any Originator desires that the Company cause the Issuance of a Letter of Credit on a day on which the Company is not purchasing any Receivables from such Originator, the Originator shall be permitted to require the Seller to cause such an Issuance (subject to payment of the amounts described in the second sentence of clause 3.1(b)(iii)) if and to the extent that the face amount of such Letter of Credit is less than current outstanding principal balance of such Originator’s Company Note. In such event, the face amount of such Letter of Credit shall be offset against the Company’s obligations to such Originator by a reduction in the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Company Note of such Originator. In connection with such Issuance, the outstanding balance of such Originator’s L/C Note shall be increased by the amount of any reduction in the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Company Note of such Originator or deemed payment of interest on such Company Note as set forth in the preceding sentence.

SECTION 3.3 Settlement as to Specific Receivables and Dilution.

(a) If, (i) on the day on which a Receivable is purchased from an Originator hereunder, any of the representations or warranties set forth in Sections 5.1(j), 5.2(b) and 5.2(f) are not true with respect to such Receivable or (ii) as a result of any action or inaction (other than solely as a result of the failure to collect such Receivables due to a discharge in bankruptcy or similar insolvency proceeding or other credit related reasons with respect to the relevant Obligor) of such Originator, on any subsequent day, any of such representations or warranties set forth in Sections 5.1(j), 5.2(b) or 5.2(f) is no longer true with respect to such Receivable, then, promptly upon notice of such inaccuracy, the applicable Originator shall repurchase such Receivable from the Company for an amount equal to the Outstanding Balance thereof (such amount, the “Repurchase Price”). Any Repurchase Price with respect to such a Receivable shall be paid in accordance with clause (c) below and, in the event that the Servicer or the Company thereafter receives payment on account of such Receivable, the Company promptly shall deliver such payments to such Originator.

(b) If, on any day, the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable (including any Contributed Receivable) purchased from an Originator by the Company hereunder or contributed to the Company hereunder is reduced or adjusted as a result of any defective, rejected or returned goods or services, or any discount, revision, cancellation, allowance or other adjustment made by any Originator, the Company or the Servicer in the ordinary course of business (it being understood and agreed that none of the foregoing shall be done for any credit-related reason) or any setoff or dispute between any Originator or any Affiliate and an Obligor as indicated on the books of the Company (or, for periods prior to the Closing Date, the books of such Originator) (in

each case other than solely as a result of the failure to collect such Receivables due to a discharge in bankruptcy or similar insolvency proceeding or other credit related reasons with respect to the relevant Obligor), then the Purchase Price or the Contributed Value with respect to such Receivable shall be reduced by the amount of such net reduction (such amount, the “Net Reduction Amount”). For the avoidance of doubt, if goods in respect of any Receivable purchased from an Originator by the Company hereunder or contributed to the Company hereunder are repossessed or foreclosed by any Originator, the Company or the Servicer, the fair market value of such goods upon such repossession or foreclosure shall be deemed to be Collections on such Receivable hereunder.

(i) first, so long as the date of such payment is not an Amortization Day, the amount of such Repurchase Price or Net Reduction Amount shall be deemed to be a payment of the following amounts in the following order of priority:

(1)

first, as a credit towards the amount of any Purchase Price payable to such Originator on such date,

(2)

second, as a payment of any accrued and unpaid interest owing to such Originator under the terms of the applicable L/C Note,

(3)

third, as a payment of any accrued and unpaid interest owing to such Originator under the terms of the applicable Company Note, and

(4)

fourth, as a payment of the outstanding Company Note Principal Balance under the applicable Company Note;

(ii) second, the applicable Originator shall deposit (in immediately available funds) an amount equal to any unpaid Repurchase Price or Net Reduction Amount into a Collection Account for application by the Servicer to the same extent as if Collections of the applicable Receivable in such amount had actually been received on such date.

(d) Each Purchase Report (other than the Purchase Report delivered on the Closing Date) shall include a calculation of the Net Reduction Amounts and Repurchase Prices, in each case that arose since the last Purchase Report delivered hereunder (as indicated on the books of the Company). Nothing herein shall require the Company to take any action that would violate the terms of the Receivables Purchase Agreement.

SECTION 3.4 Reconveyance of Receivables. In the event that an Originator has paid to the Company the full Repurchase Price of any Receivable pursuant to Section 3.3, the Company shall automatically reconvey such Receivable to such Originator, without representation or warranty, but free and clear of all liens, security interests, charges, and encumbrances created by the Company.

SECTION 3.5 Letters of Credit.

(a) Upon the request of the Servicer (acting as agent for each Originator as described in clause (b) below), and in accordance with the terms and conditions for issuing Letters of Credit under the Receivables Purchase Agreement and hereunder (including any limitations therein on the amount of any such issuance), the Company agrees, on behalf of each Originator, to cause the LC Bank to issue, on any day specified by the Servicer (for the account of the Company and at the request of the applicable Originator or any Affiliate designated by such Originator), Letters of Credit in favor of the beneficiaries specified by the Servicer (on behalf of such Originator). The aggregate stated amount of Letters of Credit to be issued on any Payment Date on behalf of any Originator shall not exceed the Availability Amounts with respect to such Originator on such Payment Date. Under no circumstances shall any Originator (or any Affiliate thereof (other than the Company)) have any reimbursement or recourse obligations in respect of any Letter of Credit.

(b) Each Originator appoints the Servicer as its agent (on which appointment the Company, the Sub-Servicers, the Administrative Agent, the LC Bank and the Purchasers may rely until such Originator provides contrary written notice to each such Person) to act on such Originator’s behalf to take all actions and to make all decisions in respect of the issuance, amendment and administration of the Letters of Credit, including requests for the issuance and extension of Letters of Credit and the allocation of the stated amounts of Letters of Credit against Purchase Price owed to particular Originators and against Company Notes issued to particular Originators. In the event that an Originator or Servicer on its behalf requests a Letter of Credit hereunder, the Servicer and such Originator shall on a timely basis provide the Company with such information as is necessary for the Company to obtain such Letter of Credit from the LC Bank, and the Servicer shall notify the relevant Originators, the Company and the Administrative Agent of the allocations described in the preceding sentence. Such allocations shall be binding on the Company and each Originator, absent manifest error.

(c) Each Originator agrees to be bound by the terms of and conditions of the Receivables Purchase Agreement relating to the Letters of Credit.

Each Originator agrees that from time to time, at its expense, it will promptly execute, authorize and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action that the Company, the Servicer or the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in order to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the Receivables and Related Rights purchased or contributed by the Company hereunder, or to enable the Company to exercise or enforce any of its rights hereunder or under any other Transaction Document.

(i) Each of the Senior Interest Holders or, when no Senior Interests are outstanding, the holders of the L/C Note may, from time to time, at its sole discretion, without notice to the Holder, and without waiving any of its rights under these Subordination Provisions, take any or all of the following actions: (i) retain or obtain an interest in any property to secure any of the Senior Interests or the L/C Notes, as applicable; (ii) retain or obtain the primary or secondary obligations of any other obligor or obligors with respect to any of the Senior Interests or the L/C Notes, as applicable; (iii) extend or renew for one or more periods (whether or not longer than the original period), alter or exchange any of the Senior Interests or the L/C Notes, or release or compromise any obligation of any nature with respect to any of the Senior Interests or the L/C Notes, in each case as applicable; (iv) amend, supplement, amend and restate, or otherwise modify any Transaction Document; (v) release its security interest in, or surrender, release or permit any substitution or exchange for all or any part of any rights or property securing any of the Senior Interests or the L/C Notes, as applicable; or (vi) extend or renew for one or more periods (whether or not longer than the original period), or release, compromise, alter or exchange any obligations of any nature of any obligor with respect to any rights or property securing any of the Senior Interests or the L/C Notes, as applicable;

(j) The Holder hereby waives: (i) notice of acceptance of these Subordination Provisions by any of the Senior Interest Holders or the holders of the L/C Notes, as applicable; (ii) notice of the existence, creation, non-payment or non- performance of all or any of the Senior Interests and the L/C Notes; and (iii) all diligence in enforcement, collection or protection of, or realization upon, the Senior Interests and the L/C Notes, or any thereof, or any security therefor;

Exhibit B-5

(k) Each of the Senior Interest Holders and the holders of the L/C Notes, as applicable may, from time to time, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Transaction Documents to which such Persons are party, but without notice to the Holder, assign or transfer any or all of the Senior Interests or the L/C Notes, as applicable, or any interest therein; and, notwithstanding any such assignment or transfer or any subsequent assignment or transfer thereof, such Senior Interests or L/C Notes, as applicable, shall be and remain Senior Interests or L/C Notes, as applicable, for the purposes of these Subordination Provisions, and every immediate and successive assignee or transferee of any of the Senior Interests or L/C Notes or of any interest of such assignee or transferee in the Senior Interests or the L/C Notes shall be entitled to the benefits of these Subordination Provisions to the same extent as if such assignee or transferee were the assignor or transferor; and

(l) These Subordination Provisions constitute a continuing offer from the holder of this Company Note to all Persons who become the holders of, or who continue to hold, Senior Interests or the L/C Notes, as applicable; and these Subordination Provisions are made for the benefit of the Senior Interest Holders and the holder of the L/C Note, and the Administrative Agent or holders of the L/C Notes may proceed to enforce such provisions on behalf of each of such Persons.

10. General. No failure or delay on the part of the Originator in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power or right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right. No amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent with respect to, any provision of this Company Note shall in any event be effective unless (i) the same shall be in writing and signed and delivered by the Company and the Holder and (ii) all consents required for such actions under the Transaction Documents shall have been received by the appropriate Persons.

11. Maximum Interest. Notwithstanding anything in this Company Note to the contrary, the Company shall never be required to pay unearned interest on any amount outstanding hereunder and shall never be required to pay interest on the principal amount outstanding hereunder at a rate in excess of the maximum nonusurious interest rate that may be contracted for, charged or received under applicable federal or state law (such maximum rate being herein called the “Highest Lawful Rate”). If the effective rate of interest that would otherwise be payable under this Company Note would exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, or if the holder of this Company Note shall receive any unearned interest or shall receive monies that are deemed to constitute interest that would increase the effective rate of interest payable by the Company under this Company Note to a rate in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then (i) the amount of interest that would otherwise be payable by the Company under this Company Note shall be reduced to the amount allowed by applicable law, and (ii) any unearned interest paid by the Company or any interest paid by the Company in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate shall be refunded to the Company. Without limitation of the foregoing, all calculations of the rate of interest contracted for, charged or received by the Originator under this Company Note that are made for the purpose of determining whether such rate exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to the Originator (such Highest Lawful Rate being herein called the “Originator’s Maximum Permissible Rate”) shall be made, to the extent permitted by usury laws applicable to the Originator (now or hereafter enacted), by

Exhibit B-6

amortizing, prorating and spreading in equal parts over the actual period during which any amount has been outstanding hereunder all interest at any time contracted for, charged or received by the Originator in connection herewith. If at any time and from time to time (i) the amount of interest payable to the Originator on any date shall be computed at the Originator’s Maximum Permissible Rate pursuant to the provisions of the foregoing sentence and (ii) in respect of any subsequent interest computation period the amount of interest otherwise payable to the Originator would be less than the amount of interest payable to the Originator computed at the Originator’s Maximum Permissible Rate, then the amount of interest payable to Originator in respect of such subsequent interest computation period shall continue to be computed at the Originator’s Maximum Permissible Rate until the total amount of interest payable to the Originator shall equal the total amount of interest that would have been payable to the Originator if the total amount of interest had been computed without giving effect to the provisions of the foregoing sentence.

12. No Negotiation. This Company Note is not negotiable.

13. Governing Law. THIS COMPANY NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF).

14. Captions. Paragraph captions used in this Company Note are for convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of any provision of this Company Note.

In order to implement the foregoing: (i) all payments and distributions of any kind or character in respect of this L/C Note to which the Holder would be entitled except for this clause (b) shall be made directly to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Senior Interest Holders); (ii) the Holder shall promptly file a claim or claims, in the form required in any Bankruptcy Proceedings, for the full outstanding amount of this L/C Note, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause said claim or claims to be approved and all payments and other distributions in respect thereof to be made directly to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Senior Interest Holders) until the Senior Interests shall have been paid and performed in full and in cash; and (iii) the Holder hereby irrevocably agrees that the Administrative Agent (acting on behalf of the Purchasers), in the name of the Holder or otherwise, may demand, ▇▇▇ 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 Holder relating to this L/C Note, in each case until the Senior Interests shall have been paid and performed in full and in cash;

Exhibit C-3

(c) In the event that the Holder receives any payment or other distribution of any kind or character from the Company or from any other source whatsoever in respect of this L/C Note, other than as expressly permitted by the terms of this L/C Note, such payment or other distribution shall be received in trust for the Senior Interest Holders and shall be turned over by the Holder to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Senior Interest Holders) forthwith. The Holder will ▇▇▇▇ its books and records so as clearly to indicate that this L/C Note is subordinated in accordance with the terms hereof. All payments and distributions received by the Administrative Agent in respect of this L/C Note, to the extent received in or converted into cash, may be applied by the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Senior Interest Holders) first to the payment of any and all expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses) paid or incurred by the Senior Interest Holders in enforcing these Subordination Provisions, or in endeavoring to collect or realize upon this L/C Note, and any balance thereof shall, solely as between the Originator and the Senior Interest Holders, be applied by the Administrative Agent (in the order of application set forth in Section 1.4(d) of the Receivables Purchase Agreement) toward the payment of the Senior Interests;

(d) Notwithstanding any payments or distributions received by the Senior Interest Holders in respect of this L/C Note, while any Bankruptcy Proceedings are pending the Holder 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. If no Bankruptcy Proceedings are pending, the Holder shall only be entitled to exercise any subrogation rights that it may acquire (by reason of a payment or distribution to the Senior Interest Holders in respect of this L/C Note) to the extent that any payment arising out of the exercise of such rights would be permitted under Section 1(n) of Exhibit IV to the Receivables Purchase Agreement;

(e) These Subordination Provisions are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Holder, on the one hand, and the Senior Interest Holders on the other hand. Nothing contained in these Subordination Provisions or elsewhere in this L/C Note is intended to or shall impair, as between the Company, its creditors (other than the Senior Interest Holders) and the Holder, the Company’s obligation, which is unconditional and absolute, to pay Holder the principal of and interest on this L/C Note as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof or to affect the relative rights of Holder and creditors of the Company (other than the Senior Interest Holders);

(f) The Holder shall not, until the Senior Interests have been paid and performed in full and in cash, (i) cancel, waive, forgive, transfer or assign, or commence legal proceedings to enforce or collect, or subordinate to any obligation of the Company, howsoever created, arising or evidenced, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, or now or hereafter existing, or due or to become due, other than the Senior Interests, this L/C Note or any rights in respect hereof, or (ii) convert this L/C Note into an equity interest in the Company, unless the Holder shall, in either case, have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers in each case;

(g) The Holder shall not, without the advance written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser, commence, or join with any other Person in commencing, any Bankruptcy Proceedings with respect to the Company until at least one year and one day shall have passed since the Senior Interests shall have been paid and performed in full and in cash;

Exhibit C-4

(h) 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 Subordination Provisions shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, as though such payment had not been made;

(i) Each of the Senior Interest Holders may, from time to time, at its sole discretion, without notice to the Holder, and without waiving any of its rights under these Subordination Provisions, take any or all of the following actions: (i) retain or obtain an interest in any property to secure any of the Senior Interests; (ii) retain or obtain the primary or secondary obligations of any other obligor or obligors with respect to any of the Senior Interests; (iii) extend or renew for one or more periods (whether or not longer than the original period), alter or exchange any of the Senior Interests, or release or compromise any obligation of any nature with respect to any of the Senior Interests; (iv) amend, supplement, amend and restate, or otherwise modify any Transaction Document; (v) release its security interest in, or surrender, release or permit any substitution or exchange for all or any part of any rights or property securing any of the Senior Interests; or (vi) extend or renew for one or more periods (whether or not longer than the original period), or release, compromise, alter or exchange any obligations of any nature of any obligor with respect to any rights or property securing any of the Senior Interests;

(j) The Holder hereby waives: (i) notice of acceptance of these Subordination Provisions by any of the Senior Interest Holders; (ii) notice of the existence, creation, non-payment or non-performance of all or any of the Senior Interests; and (iii) all diligence in enforcement, collection or protection of, or realization upon, the Senior Interests, or any thereof, or any security therefor;

(k) Each of the Senior Interest Holders may, from time to time, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Transaction Documents to which such Persons are party, but without notice to the Holder, assign or transfer any or all of the Senior Interests, or any interest therein; and, notwithstanding any such assignment or transfer or any subsequent assignment or transfer thereof, such Senior Interests shall be and remain Senior Interests for the purposes of these Subordination Provisions, and every immediate and successive assignee or transferee of any of the Senior Interests or of any interest of such assignee or transferee in the Senior Interests shall be entitled to the benefits of these Subordination Provisions to the same extent as if such assignee or transferee were the assignor or transferor; and

(l) These Subordination Provisions constitute a continuing offer from the holder of this L/C Note to all Persons who become the holders of, or who continue to hold, Senior Interests; and these Subordination Provisions are made for the benefit of the Senior Interest Holders, and the Administrative Agent may proceed to enforce such provisions on behalf of each of such Persons.

Exhibit C-5

10. General. No failure or delay on the part of the Originator in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power or right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right. No amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent with respect to, any provision of this L/C Note shall in any event be effective unless (i) the same shall be in writing and signed and delivered by the Company and the Holder and (ii) all consents required for such actions under the Transaction Documents shall have been received by the appropriate Persons.

11. Maximum Interest. Notwithstanding anything in this L/C Note to the contrary, the Company shall never be required to pay unearned interest on any amount outstanding hereunder and shall never be required to pay interest on the principal amount outstanding hereunder at a rate in excess of the maximum nonusurious interest rate that may be contracted for, charged or received under applicable federal or state law (such maximum rate being herein called the “Highest Lawful Rate”). If the effective rate of interest that would otherwise be payable under this L/C Note would exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, or if the holder of this L/C Note shall receive any unearned interest or shall receive monies that are deemed to constitute interest that would increase the effective rate of interest payable by the Company under this L/C Note to a rate in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then (i) the amount of interest that would otherwise be payable by the Company under this L/C Note shall be reduced to the amount allowed by applicable law, and (ii) any unearned interest paid by the Company or any interest paid by the Company in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate shall be refunded to the Company. Without limitation of the foregoing, all calculations of the rate of interest contracted for, charged or received by the Originator under this L/C Note that are made for the purpose of determining whether such rate exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to the Originator (such Highest Lawful Rate being herein called the “Originator’s Maximum Permissible Rate”) shall be made, to the extent permitted by usury laws applicable to the Originator (now or hereafter enacted), by amortizing, prorating and spreading in equal parts over the actual period during which any amount has been outstanding hereunder all interest at any time contracted for, charged or received by the Originator in connection herewith. If at any time and from time to time (i) the amount of interest payable to the Originator on any date shall be computed at the Originator’s Maximum Permissible Rate pursuant to the provisions of the foregoing sentence and (ii) in respect of any subsequent interest computation period the amount of interest otherwise payable to the Originator would be less than the amount of interest payable to the Originator computed at the Originator’s Maximum Permissible Rate, then the amount of interest payable to Originator in respect of such subsequent interest computation period shall continue to be computed at the Originator’s Maximum Permissible Rate until the total amount of interest payable to the Originator shall equal the total amount of interest that would have been payable to the Originator if the total amount of interest had been computed without giving effect to the provisions of the foregoing sentence.

12. No Negotiation. This L/C Note is not negotiable.

13. Governing Law. THIS L/C NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF).

Exhibit C-6

14. Captions. Paragraph captions used in this L/C Note are for convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of any provision of this L/C Note.

This RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AGREEMENT, as amended on August 1, 2011 and further amended on December 21, 2011 (as it may be further amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, this “Agreement”) is entered into as of December 10, 2010, among ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ RECEIVABLES COMPANY LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as seller (the “Seller”), ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ WORLD INDUSTRIES, INC., a Pennsylvania corporation (“Armstrong”), as initial servicer (in such capacity, together with its successors and permitted assigns in such capacity, the “Servicer”) and collection agent (in such capacity, together with its successors and permitted assigns in such capacity, the “Collection Agent”), LIBERTY STREET FUNDING LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Liberty”), as Conduit Purchaser (in such capacity, the “Conduit Purchaser”), and THE BANK OF NOVA SCOTIA, as Administrative Agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”), Related Committed Purchaser for Liberty (in such capacity, the “Related Committed Purchaser”), and as issuer of Letters of Credit (in such capacity, the “LC Bank”).

PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS. Certain terms that are capitalized and used throughout this Agreement are defined in Exhibit I. References in the Exhibits hereto to the “Agreement” refer to this Agreement, as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time.

WHEREAS, the Seller (i) desires to sell, transfer and assign an undivided variable percentage interest in a pool of receivables, and the Purchasers desire to acquire such undivided variable percentage interest, as such percentage interest shall be adjusted from time to time based upon, in part, reinvestment payments that are made by such Purchasers and (ii) may, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, request that the LC Bank issue or cause the issuance of one or more Letters of Credit.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements, provisions and covenants contained herein, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF THE PURCHASES

Section 1.1 Purchase Facility.

(a) The Seller may, from time to time before the Facility Termination Date, request that:

(i) the Conduit Purchaser makes purchases of and reinvestments in undivided percentage ownership interests with regard to the Purchaser’s Interest, and in the event that the Conduit Purchaser denies such request, is unable to fund (and provides notice of such denial or inability to the Seller and the Administrative Agent) or otherwise does not make such requested purchase or reinvestment, then the Related Committed Purchasers shall make such purchase or reinvestment to the extent not made by the Conduit Purchaser in accordance with and subject to the terms hereof; and

(ii) the LC Bank cause the Issuance of Letters of Credit, and in the event that any such request is made, the LC Bank shall cause such an Issuance in accordance with and subject to Section 1.17(b) and the other terms hereof

(each such purchase, reinvestment or Issuance is referred to herein as a “Purchase”). Subject to Section 1.4(b), concerning reinvestments, at no time will the Conduit Purchaser have any obligation to make a Purchase.

Each Related Committed Purchaser severally hereby agrees, on the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, (x) to make Participation Advances in connection with any draws under such Letters of Credit equal to such Related Committed Purchaser’s Commitment Percentage of such draws, and (y) to make purchases of, and reinvestments in, undivided percentage ownership interests with regard to the Purchaser’s Interest from the Seller, in each case from time to time from the date hereof to the Facility Termination Date (based on its Commitment Percentage).

(b) Notwithstanding Section 1.1(a), under no circumstances shall any Purchaser make any Purchase (including, without limitation, any mandatory deemed Purchases pursuant to Section 1.1(c)) if, after giving effect to such Purchase:

(i) the sum of the aggregate of such Purchaser’s Capital plus such Purchaser’s ratable share of the LC Participation Amount would exceed the Commitment set forth opposite its name on the signature page hereto, as the same may be reduced from time to time pursuant to Section 1.1(d) (or, in the case of the Conduit Purchaser, the aggregate of the Conduit Purchaser’s Capital, together with the Capital and ratable share of the LC Participation Amount of its Related Committed Purchasers, would exceed the aggregate of the Commitments of its Related Committed Purchasers),

(ii) the Aggregate Capital plus the LC Participation Amount would (after giving effect to all Purchases on such date) exceed the Purchase Limit, or

(iii) the Purchaser’s Interest would exceed 100%.

(the conditions set forth in (i)-(iii) above, the “Relevant Conditions”).

In addition to the foregoing, under no circumstances shall the LC Bank cause the Issuance of any Letter of Credit (including, without limitation, any reinstatement or extension of any Letter of Credit) if, after giving effect to such Issuance, the sum of the Aggregate Capital plus the LC Participation Amount exceeds the Purchase Limit.

(c) In the event that the Seller fails to fully reimburse the LC Bank for the full amount of any drawing under any Letter of Credit on the applicable Drawing Date (out of its own funds available therefor at such time, out of the LC Collateral Account, or otherwise) pursuant to Section 1.15 below, and (ii) the conditions precedent to making a Purchase hereunder (including the Relevant Conditions) are satisfied, the Seller shall (without the requirement of any further action on the part of any Person hereunder) be deemed to have requested a Purchase from the Conduit Purchaser (and delivered the related Purchase Notice) on such date, pursuant to the terms hereof, in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing that remains unreimbursed at such time (a “Reimbursement Purchase”). Subject to the limitations on funding set forth in this Section 1.1 (and

-2-

the other requirements and conditions herein), the Conduit Purchaser or Related Committed Purchasers, as applicable, shall fund such Reimbursement Purchase and deliver the proceeds thereof directly to the Administrative Agent to be immediately distributed to the LC Bank in satisfaction of the Seller’s Reimbursement Obligation pursuant to Section 1.15 below. All such Reimbursement Purchases shall accrue Discount from the date of such draw. In the event that any Letter of Credit expires or is surrendered without being drawn (in whole or in part) then, in such event, the foregoing commitment to make Reimbursement Purchases shall expire with respect to such Letter of Credit and the LC Participation Amount shall automatically reduce by the amount of the Letter of Credit which is no longer outstanding.

(d) The Seller may, upon at least 30 days’ written notice to the Administrative Agent, reduce the unfunded portion of the Purchase Limit in whole or in part (but not below the amount which would cause the sum of (x) aggregate Capital of the Purchasers plus (y) the LC Participation Amount to exceed the aggregate Commitment of the Purchasers (after giving effect to such reduction); provided that each partial reduction shall be in the amount of at least $25,000,000 or an integral multiple in excess thereof and, unless terminated in whole, the Purchase Limit shall in no event be reduced below $75,000,000. Any such reduction shall automatically reduce the Commitments of the Related Committed Purchasers ratably, based upon the Commitments of each such Related Committed Purchaser. The Administrative Agent shall advise the Purchasers of any notice received by it pursuant to this Section 1.1(d). In addition to and without limiting any other requirements for termination, prepayment and/or the funding of the LC Collateral Account hereunder, no such reduction shall be effective unless and until the amount on deposit in the LC Collateral Account is at least equal to the excess of (i) the then-outstanding LC Participation Amount over (ii) the Purchase Limit as so reduced by such partial reduction.

Section 1.2 Making Purchases.

(a) Each Purchase with regard to the Purchaser’s Interest hereunder (other than with respect to any reinvestment, Issuance of a Letter of Credit, or Reimbursement Purchase) shall be made upon the Seller’s irrevocable written notice in the form of Annex B (each, a “Purchase Notice”) delivered to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 6.2, which notice must be received by the Administrative Agent before 11:00 a.m., New York City time, at least two Business Days prior to the requested Purchase Date. Each such notice shall specify: (A) the amount requested to be paid to the Seller (such amount, which shall not be less than $5,000,000 (or such lesser amount as agreed to by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Conduit Purchaser) and shall be in integral multiples of $1,000,000, (B) the date of such Purchase (which shall be a Business Day) and (C) a pro forma calculation of the Purchaser’s Interest after giving effect to the increase in the Aggregate Capital.

(b) On the date of each Purchase of undivided percentage ownership interests with regard to the Purchaser’s Interest hereunder (other than with respect to any reinvestment, Issuance of a Letter of Credit, or Reimbursement Purchase), the Conduit Purchaser (or the Administrative Agent on its behalf) or the Related Committed Purchasers, as applicable, shall, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Exhibit II, make available to the Seller in same day funds, at the account specified in Schedule VII (or such other account as may be so designated in writing by the Seller to the Administrative Agent), an amount equal to the proceeds of such Purchase.

-3-

(c) Effective on the date of each Purchase (other than with respect to the Issuance of a Letter of Credit), the Seller hereby sells and assigns to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers (ratably, based on each Purchaser’s Capital) an undivided percentage ownership interest in, to the extent of the Purchaser’s Interest: (i) each Pool Receivable then existing, (ii) all Related Security with respect to such Pool Receivables, and (iii) all Collections with respect to, and other proceeds of, such Pool Receivables and Related Security.

(d) To secure all of the Seller’s obligations (monetary or otherwise) under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, whether now or hereafter existing or arising, due or to become due, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, the Seller hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Purchasers and their assigns, a security interest in all of the Seller’s right, title and interest (including any undivided interest of the Seller) in, to and under all of the following, whether now or hereafter owned, existing or arising:

(i) all Pool Receivables,

(ii) all Related Security with respect to such Pool Receivables,

(iii) all Collections with respect to such Pool Receivables,

(iv) the Lock-Box Accounts and the Collection Accounts and all amounts on deposit therein relating to the Pool Receivables, and all certificates and instruments, if any, from time to time evidencing such Lock-Box Accounts and the Collection Accounts and amounts on deposit therein relating to the Pool Receivables,

(v) the LC Collateral Account and all amounts on deposit therein, and all certificates and instruments, if any, from time to time evidencing the LC Collateral Account and amounts on deposit therein,

(vi) all rights (but none of the obligations) of the Seller under the Sale Agreement,

(vii) all proceeds of, and all amounts received or receivable under any or all of, the foregoing, and

(viii) all of its other property (collectively, the “Pool Assets”);

provided, that upon receipt by the Seller of the Repurchase Price with respect to any Pool Receivables in accordance with Section 3.3 of the Sale Agreement, such Pool Receivable and all Related Security and Collections with respect thereto immediately shall cease to constitute Pool Assets and the Administrative Agent shall at the request of the Seller release, assign and convey, as applicable, to the Seller or its designee, without representation or warranty, but free and clear of any Adverse Claims, all right, title and interest in such Pool Asset and all Related Security.

The Seller hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to file financing statements describing the collateral covered thereby as “all of the debtor’s personal property or assets” or words to that effect, notwithstanding that such wording may be broader in scope than the collateral described in this Agreement. The Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Purchasers and their

-4-

assigns) shall have, with respect to the Pool Assets, and in addition to all the other rights and remedies available to the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers, all the rights and remedies of a secured party under any applicable UCC.

(e) The Seller may, with the written consent of the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Conduit Purchaser and the LC Bank, add additional Persons as Related Committed Purchasers or cause an existing Related Committed Purchaser to increase its Commitment in connection with a corresponding increase in the Purchase Limit; provided, however that the Commitment of any Related Committed Purchaser may only be increased with the prior written consent of such Purchaser. Each new Purchaser shall become a party hereto, by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent and the Seller, an Assumption Agreement in the form of Annex C hereto (which Assumption Agreement shall be executed by the Conduit Purchaser, the LC Bank and the Administrative Agent).

(f) Each Related Committed Purchaser’s obligations hereunder shall be several, but the failure of any Related Committed Purchaser to make a payment in connection with any Purchase hereunder, or Participation Advance hereunder, as the case may be, shall not relieve any other Related Committed Purchaser of its obligation hereunder to make payment for any such Purchase or such Participation Advance. Further, in the event any Related Committed Purchaser fails to satisfy its obligation to make a Purchase or Participation Advance as required hereunder, upon receipt of notice of such failure from the Administrative Agent, subject to the limitations set forth herein, the non-defaulting Related Committed Purchasers shall fund the defaulting Related Committed Purchaser’s Commitment Percentage of the related Purchase or Participation Advance (net of any amounts funded by such defaulting Related Committed Purchaser in respect of such Purchase or Participation Advance) pro rata in proportion to their relative Commitment Percentages (determined without regard to the Commitment Percentage of the defaulting Related Committed Purchaser), up to the amount that would cause the sum of such Related Committed Purchaser’s Capital plus its ratable share of the LC Participation Amount to equal its Commitment hereunder.

Section 1.3 Purchaser’s Interest Computation. The Purchaser’s Interest shall initially be computed on the date of the initial Purchase hereunder. Thereafter, until the Facility Termination Date, such Purchaser’s Interest shall be automatically recomputed (or deemed to be recomputed) on each Business Day other than an Amortization Day. From and after the occurrence of any Amortization Day, the Purchaser’s Interest shall (until the event(s) giving rise to such Amortization Day are cured or are waived by the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.2) be deemed to be 100%. The Purchaser’s Interest shall become zero when (a) the Aggregate Capital has been reduced to zero and all Aggregate Discount thereon shall have been paid in full, (b) the LC Participation Amount has been Cash Collateralized in full or all Letters of Credit shall have expired or been cancelled, and (c) all other amounts owed by the Seller and the Servicer hereunder to the Purchasers, the LC Bank, the Servicer, the Administrative Agent and any other Indemnified Party or Affected Person are paid in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 1.3 shall be construed to require the Seller, the Servicer or any Affiliate thereof to make actual computations on a daily basis or to deliver to the Purchasers or the Administrative Agent a writing setting forth any computation, recomputation or deemed recomputation effected under this Section 1.3, except as expressly required pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 1.4 Settlement Procedures.

(a) The collection of the Pool Receivables shall be administered by the Servicer in accordance with this Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement. The Seller shall provide to the Servicer on a timely basis all information needed for such administration, including notice of the occurrence of any Amortization Day and current computations of the Purchaser’s Interest.

(b) The Servicer shall, on each Business Day on which Collections of Pool Receivables are received (or deemed received) by the Seller or Servicer or are deposited into the Lock-Box Accounts, deposit all such Collections into a Collection Account and allocate such Collections in the following order of priority:

(i) The Servicer shall set aside and hold in trust (by book entry or otherwise or, if so requested by the Administrative Agent, segregated in a separate account approved by the Administrative Agent) for the benefit of each Purchaser (or, in the case of amounts described in clause (A), the Servicer), out of such Collections, the following amounts in the following order of priority:

(A)

first, an amount equal to the excess of (x) the amount of any Servicing Fee that has accrued through such day and that remains unpaid over (y) the amount of Collections that have previously been set aside in order to pay such accrued and unpaid Servicing Fee;

(B)

second, ratably, (i) an amount equal to the excess of (x) the amount of any Aggregate Discount that has accrued through such day and that remains unpaid over (y) the amount of Collections that have previously been set aside in order to pay such accrued and unpaid Aggregate Discount, and (ii) an amount equal to the excess of (x) the amount of any LC Fee that has accrued through such day and that remains unpaid over (y) the amount of Collections that have previously been set aside in order to pay such accrued and unpaid LC Fee;

(C)

third, an amount equal to the excess of (x) the amount of any Yield Protection Fees that have accrued through such day and that remain unpaid over (y) the amount of Collections that have previously been set aside in order to pay such accrued and unpaid Yield Protection Fee; and

(D)

fourth, an amount equal to the excess of (x) the amount of any Fee Letter Fees (other than the LC Fee) that have accrued through such day and that remain unpaid over (y) the amount of Collections that have previously been set aside in order to pay such accrued and unpaid Fee Letter Fees (other than the LC Fee).

(ii) If such day is an Amortization Day, the Servicer shall allocate, set aside, segregate and hold in trust (by book entry or otherwise or, if so requested by the Administrative Agent, segregated in a separate account approved by the Administrative Agent) for the benefit of the Purchasers, all remaining Collections.

-6-

(iii) In the event that (a) any Conduit Purchaser has delivered a notice (a “Declining Notice”) to the Administrative Agent and the Servicer stating that it no longer wishes Collections with respect to any Portion of Capital funded or maintained by it to be reinvested pursuant to this Section 1.4(b) (a “Declining Purchaser”) and there is any outstanding Capital with respect to such Conduit Purchaser, or (b) the Scheduled Termination Date with respect to any Related Committed Purchaser has occurred (an “Exiting Purchaser”, and such Scheduled Termination Date, the “Exit Date”) and there is any outstanding Capital with respect to such Related Committed Purchaser, the Servicer shall allocate, set aside, segregate and hold in trust (by book entry or otherwise or, if so requested by the Administrative Agent, segregated in a separate account approved by the Administrative Agent) for the benefit of such Declining Purchaser or Exiting Purchaser, as applicable, all of such Purchaser’s ratable share of remaining Collections (based on the portion of the Aggregate Capital attributable to such Purchaser, provided, that solely for purposes of this subclause (iii), a Declining Purchaser’s Capital shall be deemed to remain constant from the date a Declining Notice is delivered the Administrative Agent and the Servicer, and an Exiting Purchaser’s Capital shall be deemed to remain constant from its Scheduled Termination Date, in each case until the date on which sufficient amounts have been set aside for the benefit of such Declining Purchaser or Exiting Purchaser, as applicable, in order to reduce such Purchaser’s Capital to zero) up to the amount necessary to reduce such Purchaser’s Capital to zero on the next Settlement Date; provided that, in the event that any such Collections are so set aside for the benefit of a Declining Purchaser or Exiting Purchaser and, prior to the distribution of such Collections to such Declining Purchaser or Exiting Purchaser on the related Settlement Date, such Purchaser ceases to be a Declining Purchaser or Exiting Purchaser, as applicable, such Collections shall be reinvested pursuant to subclause (iv) below.

(iv) Subject to Section 1.4(f), any remaining Collections shall be remitted to the Seller, on behalf of each Purchaser (ratably, according to each Purchaser’s Capital). Such remainder shall, to the extent representing a return of the Aggregate Capital, be reinvested automatically in Pool Receivables, and in the Related Security, Collections and other proceeds with respect thereto; provided, however, that if the Purchaser’s Interest would exceed 100% after giving effect to any such reinvestment, then the Servicer shall instead set aside and hold in trust for the benefit of the Purchasers (by book entry or otherwise or, if so requested by the Administrative Agent, segregated in a separate account approved by the Administrative Agent) the portion of such Collections that shall equal the amount necessary to reduce the Purchaser’s Interest to 100%.

(c) On each Settlement Date, the Servicer shall, in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 1.4(d) below, allocate the Collections that have been retained pursuant to clause (b), (f) and (g) of Section 1.4 during the Settlement Period relating to such Settlement Date, and any such Collections that are allocated to a Purchaser in accordance therewith shall (i) be deposited on such Settlement Date into such Purchaser’s account (as specified in Schedule VII, as such Schedule VII may be modified from time to time by the Administrative Agent by reasonable notice to the Seller and the Servicer), or (ii) be paid to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 1.5, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such day is not an Amortization Day and the Administrative Agent has not notified the Servicer that such right is revoked, the Servicer may pay itself the portion of the Collections set aside pursuant to subclause (b)(i)(A). Within two

-7-

Business Days of the last day of each Yield Period, the Administrative Agent will notify the Servicer of the amount of the Discount accrued with respect to each such Portion of Capital during such related Yield Period or portion thereof.

(d) On each Settlement Date, the Servicer shall distribute the amounts described in Section 1.4(c) as follows:

(i) The amounts retained pursuant to Sections 1.4(b)(i) during the related Settlement Period shall be distributed in the following order of priority:

(A)

first, if the Servicer has set aside amounts pursuant to subclause (b)(i)(A) above and has not paid itself such amounts pursuant to clause (c) above, to the Servicer’s own account in payment of any accrued and unpaid Servicing Fees owing to the Servicer as of the last day of the related Settlement Period;

(B)

second, ratably, (x) to each Purchaser pro rata (based on the Discount owing to the Purchasers on such Settlement Date), the Discount that accrued on such Purchaser’s Portions of Capital prior to or during the related Settlement Period and that remains unpaid as of such Settlement Date, and (y) to the LC Bank, any LC Fee that accrued prior to or during the related Settlement Period and that remains unpaid as of such Settlement Date;

(C)

third, to each Purchaser pro rata (based on the Yield Protection Fees owing to the Purchasers on such Settlement Date), the Yield Protection Fees that accrued with respect to such Purchaser prior to or during the related Settlement Period and that remain unpaid as of such Settlement Date; and

(D)

fourth, to each Purchaser and the Administrative Agent pro rata (based on the Fee Letter Fees (other than the LC Fee) owing to the Purchasers and the Administrative Agent on such Settlement Date), the Fee Letter Fees (other than the LC Fee) that accrued prior to or during the related Settlement Period and that remain unpaid as of such Settlement Date; and

(ii) Any amounts that were set aside during the related Settlement Period pursuant to subclause (b)(ii) or the proviso in clause (b)(iv) shall be distributed in the following order of priority:

(A)

first, to the LC Collateral Account for the benefit of the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the LC Bank and the Related Committed Purchasers), (x) if such distribution occurs on an Amortization Day, the amount necessary to cause the LC Participation Adjusted Amount to equal zero, and (y) otherwise, the lesser of (I) the amount necessary to cause the LC Participation Adjusted Amount to equal zero and (II) the amount necessary to reduce the Purchaser’s Interest to 100% (after giving effect to such distribution to the LC Collateral Account);

-8-

(B)

second, to the Purchasers pro rata (based upon the outstanding Capital with respect to each such Purchaser) as payment in respect of outstanding Capital, (x) if such distribution occurs on an Amortization Day, the amount necessary to reduce such Purchasers’ Capital to zero and (y) otherwise, the lesser of (I) the amount necessary to reduce such Purchasers’ Capital to zero and (II) the amount necessary to reduce the Purchaser’s Interest to 100% (after giving effect to the distribution of such amount to the Purchasers and any distributions in the subclauses above);

(C)

third, to the Purchasers, the Administrative Agent and any other Indemnified Party or Affected Person pro rata (based on the amounts payable to each such Person pursuant this clause third), any other amounts owed to such Persons by the Seller hereunder; and

(D)

fourth, any remaining Collections shall be paid to the Seller for its own account.

(iii) Any amounts that have been set aside during the related Settlement Period pursuant to subclause (b)(iii) for the benefit of any Exiting Purchaser or Declining Purchaser and that remain available to be paid to such Existing Purchaser or Declining Purchaser shall be distributed to such Exiting Purchaser or Declining Purchaser.

(iv) Any remaining Collections shall be paid to the Seller for its own account.

(e) For the purposes of this Section 1.4:

(i) in the event that any Net Reduction Amount is paid in cash by any Originator pursuant to Section 3.3 of the Sale Agreement, the Seller shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection of such Pool Receivable in the amount of such Net Reduction Amount and shall promptly (and in any event within three Business Days) pay such Net Reduction Amount to a Collection Account (or as otherwise directed by the Administrative Agent at such time) for the benefit of the Purchasers and their assigns and for application pursuant to Section 1.4;

(ii) in the event that any Repurchase Price is paid in cash by any Originator pursuant to Section 3.3 of the Sale Agreement in respect of any Pool Receivable, the Seller shall be deemed to have received on the date of such payment a Collection in respect of such Pool Receivable in the amount of such payment and shall promptly (and in any event within two Business Days of receipt thereof) deposit such amounts into the Collection Account for the benefit of the Purchasers and their assigns and for application pursuant to this Section 1.4 (Collections deemed to have been received pursuant to subclause (i) or (ii) of this clause (e) are hereinafter sometimes referred to as “Deemed Collections”);

(iii) except as provided in clause (i) or (ii) above or as otherwise required by applicable law or the relevant Contract, all Collections received from an Obligor of any Pool Receivable shall be applied to the Pool Receivables of such Obligor in the order of the age of such Pool Receivables, starting with the oldest such Pool Receivable, unless such Obligor designates in writing its payment for application to specific Pool Receivables; and

-9-

(iv) if and to the extent the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser shall be required for any reason to pay over to an Obligor (or any trustee, receiver, custodian or similar official in any Insolvency Proceeding) any amount received by it hereunder and pays over such amount, such amount shall be deemed not to have been so received by such Person but rather to have been retained by the Seller and, accordingly, such Person shall have a claim against the Seller for such amount, payable when and to the extent that any distribution from or on behalf of such Obligor is made in respect thereof.

(f) If at any time the Seller shall wish to cause the reduction of Aggregate Capital (but not to commence the liquidation, or reduction to zero, of the entire Aggregate Capital), the Seller may do so as follows:

(i) the Seller shall give the Administrative Agent and the Servicer written notice in substantially the form of Annex D (each, a “Paydown Notice”) at least two Business Days prior to the date of such reduction, which notice shall include the amount of such proposed reduction and the proposed date on which such reduction will commence;

(ii) on the proposed date of commencement of such reduction and on each day thereafter, the Servicer shall retain (as directed by the Seller) (i) all or a portion of the Collections that would otherwise be available to be reinvested pursuant to the terms hereof and (ii) any other amounts that do not constitute Collections that the Seller allocates for such purpose until the aggregate amount so retained is equal to the desired amount of reduction; and

(iii) the Servicer shall hold such Collections and other amounts in trust for the benefit of each Purchaser, and on the next Settlement Date (or such other date as agreed to by the Administrative Agent) such Collections and other amounts shall be paid ratably (based on the Capital of each Purchaser on such Settlement Date) to each Purchaser in order to reduce the Aggregate Capital. Any such Collections that are so allocated to a Purchaser shall be deposited into such Purchaser’s account, as specified in Schedule VII hereto (as such Schedule VII may be modified from time to time by the Administrative Agent by reasonable notice to the Seller and the Servicer),

provided, that the amount of any such reduction shall be not less than $5,000,000 and shall be an integral multiple of $1,000,000, and the entire Aggregate Capital after giving effect to such reduction shall be not less than $5,000,000 (unless the Aggregate Capital shall have been reduced to zero).

(g) If on any day the LC Collateral Amount exceeds the sum of the LC Participation Amount and the amount of any outstanding Participation Advances (including any Discount accrued thereon) (the “LC Obligations”), the Administrative Agent shall, on the written request of the Seller and (or the Servicer at the direction of the Seller) (which request shall set forth the LC Collateral Amount and the amount of the LC Obligations), on the next Settlement Date transfer to the Servicer funds on deposit in the LC Collateral Account up to an amount necessary to reduce the LC Collateral Amount to equal the LC Obligations, and the Servicer shall allocate such funds pursuant to Section 1.4(d) on such Settlement Date as Collections hereunder.

-10-

Section 1.5 Fees. The Seller shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the applicable Purchasers, in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 1.4(d), certain fees (the “Fee Letter Fees”) in the amounts and on the dates set forth in one or more letters, dated the Closing Date, each such letter (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, a “Fee Letter”) among the Servicer, the Seller, and the Administrative Agent.

Section 1.6 Payments and Computations, Etc.

(a) All amounts to be paid or deposited by the Seller or the Servicer hereunder or under any other Transaction Document shall be made without reduction for offset or counterclaim and shall be paid or deposited no later than noon (New York City time) on the day when due in same day funds to the account or accounts listed on Schedule VII (as such Schedule VII may be modified from time to time by the Administrative Agent by reasonable notice to the Seller and the Servicer). All amounts received after noon (New York City time) will be deemed to have been received on the next Business Day.

(b) The Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, shall, to the extent permitted by law, pay interest on any amount not paid or deposited by the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, when due hereunder, at an interest rate equal to 2.0% per annum above the Base Rate, payable on demand and, in the case of the Seller, in accordance with Section 1.4.

(c) All computations of interest under clause (b) and all computations of Discount, Fee Letter Fees, Servicing Fees, Yield Protection Fees and other amounts hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 (or 365 or 366, as applicable, with respect to Discount or other amounts calculated by reference to the Base Rate) days for the actual number of days elapsed. Whenever any payment or deposit to be made hereunder shall be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment or deposit shall be made on the next Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of such payment or deposit.

Section 1.7 Increased Cost and Reduced Return.

(a) If, after the date hereof, the Administrative Agent, any Purchaser, Liquidity Provider or Program Support Provider or any of their respective Affiliates (each an “Affected Person”) reasonably determines that the existence of or compliance with (i) FAS 166/167, (ii) any law, rule, regulation, generally accepted accounting principle or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, or (iii) any request, guideline or directive from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) issued or adopted or occurring after the date hereof affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Affected Person, and such Affected Person reasonably determines that the increase in the amount of such capital is attributable to the existence of any commitment to make purchases of (or otherwise to maintain the investment in) Pool Receivables or issue any Letter of Credit or any related liquidity facility, credit enhancement facility or other commitments of the same type, then, upon demand by such Affected Person (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Seller shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such Affected Person, from time to time as specified by such Affected Person, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Affected Person for both increased costs and maintenance of bargained for yield in the light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Affected Person reasonably determines

-11-

such increase in capital to be allocable to the existence of any of such commitments. A certificate (including the certificate contemplated in Section 1.7(c), an “Increased Costs Certificate”) as to such amounts submitted to the Seller and the Administrative Agent by such Affected Person shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(b) If, after the date hereof, due to either: (i) FAS 166/167, (ii) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law, regulation or rule or (iii) compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) issued or adopted or occurring after the date hereof, there shall be any increase in the cost to any Affected Person of agreeing to purchase or purchasing, or maintaining the ownership of, the Purchaser’s Interest (or its portion thereof) in respect of which Discount is computed by reference to the Euro-Rate, then, upon demand by such Affected Person, the Seller shall promptly pay to such Affected Person, from time to time as specified by such Affected Person, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Affected Person for both increased costs and maintenance of bargained for yield. A certificate (including the certificate contemplated in Section 1.7(c), a “Euro-Dollar Certificate”) as to such amounts submitted to the Seller and the Administrative Agent by such Affected Person shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(c) Within a reasonable time after any Affected Person has actual knowledge that it is subject to increased capital requirements or incurs other increased costs pursuant to this Section 1.7, such Affected Person shall notify the Servicer of such fact by submitting a certificate specifying the applicable law, regulation, guideline or request causing such increased costs, the amount of compensation requested, and the basis of the calculation thereof.

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, (i) any increase in cost and/or reduction in yield caused by regulatory capital allocation adjustments due to Statements of Financial Accounting Standards Nos. 166 and 167 (or any future statements or interpretations issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or any successor thereto) (collectively, “FAS 166/167”), or (ii) any interpretation by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or any other change in foreign or domestic generally accepted accounting principles, that would require the consolidation of some or all of the assets and liabilities of any Conduit Purchaser with those of any of The Bank of Nova Scotia, the Administrative Agent, any Conduit, any bank, any entity that enters into a commitment to purchase any interest in the Purchaser’s Interest or any entity that provides liquidity or credit enhancement, shall be covered by this Section 1.7.

(e) The Seller shall not be under any obligation to compensate any Affected Person under this Section 1.07 with respect to any such increased costs that arose during any period during the date that is prior to 180 days prior to such Affected Person’s increased Costs Certificate being delivered to the Seller, provided that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to any increased costs arising out of the retroactive application of any Change in Law within such 180-day period.

(f) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, for purposes of this Section 1.7, (x) the ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar

-12-

authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be issued or adopted or occurring after the date hereof, regardless of the date issued, adopted or occurring.

Section 1.8 Requirements of Law. If, after the date hereof, any Affected Person determines that the existence of or compliance with (a) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law, regulation, rule or generally accepted accounting principle or (b) any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) made or issued after the date of this Agreement:

(i) does or shall subject such Affected Person to any increase in the Purchaser’s Interest (or its portion thereof) or in the amount of Capital relating thereto,

(ii) does or shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, Purchases, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Affected Person that are not otherwise included in the determination of the Euro-Rate or the Base Rate hereunder,

and the result of any of the foregoing is: (1) to increase the cost to such Affected Person of agreeing to purchase or purchasing or maintaining the ownership of undivided percentage ownership interests with regard to, or issuing any Letter of Credit in respect of, the Purchaser’s Interest (or interests therein) or any Portion of Capital, or (2) to reduce any amount receivable hereunder (whether directly or indirectly), then, in any such case, upon demand by such Affected Person, the Seller shall promptly pay to such Affected Person additional amounts necessary to compensate such Affected Person for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable. All such amounts shall be payable on demand.

Section 1.9 Funding Losses. The Seller shall compensate each Affected Person, upon written request by such Person, for all losses, expenses and liabilities (including any interest paid by such Affected Person to lenders of funds borrowed by it to fund or maintain any Portion of Capital hereunder at an interest rate determined by reference to the Euro-Rate, less amounts earned on reinvestment of such funds, and any loss sustained by such Person in connection with the re-employment of such funds), which such Affected Person may sustain with respect to funding or maintaining such Portion of Capital at the Euro-Rate if, for any reason, after the applicable request by the Seller to fund or maintain such Portion of Capital at an interest rate determined by reference to the Euro-Rate, such funding or maintenance does not occur on a date specified therefor.

Section 1.10 Taxes. The Seller agrees that:

(a) Any and all payments by the Seller under this Agreement and any other Transaction Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Taxes, except to the extent such Taxes are imposed by law. In the event that any Taxes are imposed by law and required to be withheld from any payment required to be made by the Seller to any Affected Person under any Transaction Document, then:

-13-

(i) if such Taxes are Taxes other than Excluded Taxes (all such Taxes other than Excluded Taxes shall hereinafter be referred to as “Indemnified Taxes”), the amount of such payment shall be increased as may be necessary such that such payment is made, after withholding or deduction for or on account of such Taxes, in an amount that is not less than the amount provided for herein or in such other Transaction Document; and

(ii) the Seller shall withhold the full amount of such Taxes from such payment (as increased pursuant to clause (a)(i)) and shall pay such amount to the Governmental Authority imposing such Taxes to the extent required by applicable law.

(b) In addition, the Seller shall pay any and all Other Taxes imposed to the relevant Governmental Authority imposing such Other Taxes in accordance with applicable law.

(c) Whenever any Indemnified Taxes are paid by the Seller, as promptly as reasonably practicable thereafter, the Seller shall send to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of any Affected Person, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt showing payment thereof or such other evidence of such payment as may be available to the Seller and acceptable to the taxing authorities having jurisdiction over such Person. If the Seller fails to pay any Indemnified Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Seller shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and/or any other Affected Person, as applicable, for any incremental Taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by such party as a result of any such failure

(d) The Seller shall indemnify each Affected Person, within ten days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes levied, imposed or assessed on (and whether or not paid directly by) such Affected Person on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Seller hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 1.10) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. None of Sections 1.7, 3.1, 3.2 or 6.4 shall apply to Taxes, which shall be governed exclusively by this Section 1.10.

(e) If an Affected Person determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Seller, it shall pay over such refund to the Seller (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Seller under this Section 1.10 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Affected Person and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund net of any applicable Taxes payable in respect of such interest); provided, that the Seller, upon the request of such Affected Person, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Seller (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Affected Person in the event such Affected Person is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section 1.10 shall not be construed to require any Affected Person to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Seller or any other Person.

-14-

(f) If an Affected Person requests indemnification or repayment under this Section 1.10, a certificate describing in reasonable detail such amounts and the basis for such Affected Person’s demand for such amounts shall be submitted to the Seller and the Administrative Agent by such Affected Person and shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(g) To the extent legally entitled, each Affected Person shall, immediately upon becoming a party hereto, and thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Seller, furnish to the Seller a duly executed and completed copy of Internal Revenue Service Form ▇-▇, ▇-▇ ▇▇▇, ▇-▇ ECI or W-8 IMY, or successor forms (as applicable), and such other forms, certificates, statements or documents reasonably requested by Seller as evidence of such Affected Person’s exemption from the withholding of United States tax with respect thereto. Each Affected Person promptly shall notify the Seller of any change in circumstance which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption from withholding after such Affected Person’s knowledge thereof.

(h) Upon the written request of the Seller, any Affected Person claiming or which would be entitled to claim a right to receive payment under this Section 1.10 shall use reasonable efforts to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Affected Person, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to this Section 1.10 in the future and (ii) would not subject such Affected Person to any unreimbursed cost or expense and the effectuation of such assignment would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Affected Person. The Seller hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Affected Person in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(i) The Seller, each Affected Person and each Participant acknowledge and agree that it is their mutual intent that, solely for U.S. federal and all applicable state and local income and franchise Tax purposes, the acquisition of an interest in the Receivables Pool pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated as debt financing provided to the Seller secured by the Receivables Pool. Further, each of the Seller, each Affected Person and each Participant (respectively) covenants to the Seller and every other Affected Person and Participant to adhere to, and take no action inconsistent with, the aforementioned treatment for U.S. federal and all applicable state and local income and franchise Tax purposes in all Tax filings, reports and returns and otherwise, except (and solely to the extent) otherwise required by applicable law.

Section 1.11 Inability to Determine Euro-Rate.

(a) If the Administrative Agent (or any Purchaser) determines before the first day of any Yield Period (which determination shall be final and conclusive) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank eurodollar market generally (i) deposits in dollars (in the relevant amounts for such Yield Period) are not being offered to banks in the interbank eurodollar market for such Yield Period, (ii) adequate means do not exist for ascertaining the Euro-Rate for such Yield Period or (iii) the Euro-Rate does not accurately reflect the cost to any Purchaser (as determined by the related Purchaser) of maintaining any Portion of Capital during such Yield Period, then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Seller. Thereafter, until the Administrative Agent or such Purchaser notifies the Seller that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, (a) no Portion of Capital shall be funded by the affected

Purchaser(s) at the Alternate Rate determined by reference to the Euro-Rate and (b) the Discount for any outstanding Portions of Capital then funded by the affected Purchaser(s) at the Alternate Rate determined by reference to the Euro-Rate shall, on the last day of the then current Yield Period, be converted to the Alternate Rate determined by reference to the Base Rate.

(b) If, on or before the first day of any Yield Period, the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Affected Person that such Affected Person has determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive) that, any enactment, promulgation or adoption of or any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by a governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by such Person with any guideline, request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall make it unlawful or impossible for such Person to fund or maintain any Portion of Capital at the Alternate Rate and based upon the Euro-Rate, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Seller thereof.

All amounts drawn upon Letters of Credit shall accrue Discount. The LC Participation Amount shall not accrue Discount.

Section 1.13 Issuance of Letters of Credit.

(a) In the case of the Initial Letter of Credit, the Seller shall be deemed to have requested the Issuance of the Initial Letter of Credit without any further action on the Closing Date, and, subject to Section 1.17(b) and the other terms hereof, the LC Bank shall cause such Issuance on the date of the issuance of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ County Bonds. In the case of any subsequent Letter of Credit, the Seller may request that the LC Bank issue a Letter of Credit by delivering to the Administrative Agent, at or prior to 11:00 a.m., New York time, on the second Business Day prior to the date of such requested Issuance, (i) the LC Bank’s form of Letter of Credit Application (the “Letter of Credit Application”), substantially in the form of Annex G attached hereto, completed to the satisfaction of the Administrative Agent and the LC Bank, and (ii) a Purchase

-16-

Notice, in the form of Annex B attached hereto, along with (iii) such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request. The Seller also has the right to give instructions and make agreements with respect to any Letter of Credit Application and the disposition of documents, and to agree with the Administrative Agent upon any amendment, extension or renewal of any Letter of Credit.

(b) Each Letter of Credit shall, among other things:

(i) provide for the payment of sight drafts or other written demands for payment when presented for honor thereunder in accordance with the terms thereof and when accompanied by the documents described therein,

(ii) permit the LC Bank to give notice to the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit of the occurrence of any LC Wind-Down Event and instruct such beneficiary to draw the full available amount under such Letter of Credit within a period of time specified in such Letter of Credit, and

(iii) have an expiry date not later than seven (7) days prior to the Facility Termination Date the in effect. Each Letter of Credit shall be subject either to (x) the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits (2007 Revision), International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 600, and any amendments or revisions thereof adhered to by the LC Bank, or (y) the International Standby Practices (ISP98-International Chamber of Commerce Publication Number 590), and any amendments or revisions thereof adhered to by the LC Bank, as determined by the LC Bank.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the LC Bank, at its address for notices hereunder, and each Related Committed Purchaser of the request by the Seller for a Letter of Credit hereunder, and shall provide the LC Bank with the Letter of Credit Application delivered to the Administrative Agent by the Seller pursuant to clause (a) above by the close of business on the day received, or if received on a day that is not a Business Day or on any Business Day after 11:00 a.m., New York time, on such day, on the next Business Day.

Section 1.14 Requirements For Issuance of Letters of Credit.

(a) The Seller shall authorize and direct the LC Bank to name the Seller as the “Applicant” or “Account Party” of each Letter of Credit, provided, that any such Letter of Credit may indicate that it is issued “at the request of” any Originator or Affiliate of an Originator designated by the Seller.

(b) In the case of any Letter of Credit that by its terms (i) is subject to reinstatement or (ii) may be automatically extended on the failure of the related LC Bank to provide specific notice or instruction not to so extend, any such reinstatement or extension shall be deemed an Issuance hereunder, and shall accordingly be subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 1.12, Section 2 of Exhibit II (other than clause 2(a)) and any other provisions herein governing the Issuance of Letters of Credit. The LC Bank shall not enter into a Letter of Credit described in the previous sentence unless such Letter of Credit permits the LC Bank to refuse to (i) reinstate such Letter of Credit if any of the conditions precedent to an Issuance of a Letter of Credit hereunder are not met at the time of such reinstatement, or (ii) extend such Letter of Credit if any of

-17-

the conditions precedent to an Issuance of a Letter of Credit hereunder are not met on the date of such extension or such extension would cause the expiry date of such Letter of Credit to be later than seven (7) days prior to the Facility Termination Date in effect on the date of such extension. In the event that LC Bank refuses to reinstate or extend a Letter of Credit pursuant to this clause (b), the LC Bank shall be entitled to provide any notices of such decision as set forth in such Letter of Credit, and to instruct the beneficiary to draw on such Letter of Credit to the extent set forth in such Letter of Credit.

Section 1.15 Disbursements, Reimbursement.

(a) In the event of any request for a drawing under a Letter of Credit by the beneficiary or transferee thereof, the LC Bank will promptly notify the Administrative Agent, each Related Committed Purchaser and the Seller of such request. Provided that it shall have received such notice, the Seller shall reimburse the LC Bank at or prior to 11:00 a.m., New York time, on the date that such drawing occurs (each such date, a “Drawing Date”) in an amount equal to the amount paid by the LC Bank under such Letter of Credit in respect of such drawing (such obligation to reimburse the LC Bank shall sometimes be referred to as a “Reimbursement Obligation”). The Seller shall be entitled to direct the Administrative Agent to apply any funds on deposit in the LC Collateral Account to satisfy its Reimbursement Obligation pursuant to this clause (a). The failure of the Seller to satisfy a Reimbursement Obligation at or prior to the time specified above shall not give rise to a Termination Event hereunder, provided, that in the event of such failure, the Seller shall have an absolute obligation, secured by all of the Pool Assets, to reimburse each Related Committed Purchaser that makes a Participation Advance to the LC Bank as set forth in clause (c) below.

(b) In the event the Seller fails to satisfy any Reimbursement Obligation at or prior to 11:00 a.m., New York time, on the Drawing Date, the LC Bank promptly will notify each Purchaser thereof, and the Seller shall be deemed to have requested that a Reimbursement Purchase be made by the Conduit Purchaser or Related Committed Purchasers, as applicable, pursuant to Section 1.1(c), to be disbursed on the Drawing Date under such Letter of Credit, subject to the satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Exhibit II. Any notice given by the LC Bank pursuant to this Section may be oral if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

Upon the receipt of any notice given pursuant to this clause (b), the Conduit Purchaser (or the Administrative Agent on its behalf) or the Related Committed Purchasers, as applicable, shall, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Exhibit II, make available to the LC Bank in immediately available funds an amount equal to its Commitment Percentage of the amount of the unpaid Reimbursement Obligation, whereupon the Conduit Purchaser or Related Committed Purchasers, as applicable, shall be deemed to have made a Reimbursement Purchase in that amount.

(c) If, because the conditions precedent for Purchases set forth in Exhibit II are not met or for any other reason, neither the Conduit Purchaser nor the Related Committed Purchasers make the Reimbursement Purchase pursuant to clause (b), the LC Bank will promptly notify each Related Committed Purchaser of such failure. Any notice given by the LC Bank pursuant to this Section may be oral if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

-18-

Upon the receipt of any notice given pursuant to this clause (c), each Related Committed Purchaser shall make an advance (a “Participation Advance”) in exchange for a participation interest in the related Letter of Credit by making available to the LC Bank an amount in immediately available funds equal to its Commitment Percentage multiplied by the amount of such drawing. Each Related Committed Purchaser’s Commitment to make Participation Advances shall continue until the last to occur of any of the following events: (A) the LC Bank ceases to be obligated to issue or cause to be issued Letters of Credit hereunder; (B) no Letter of Credit issued hereunder remains outstanding and uncancelled; and (C) all Persons (other than the Seller) have been fully reimbursed for all payments made under or relating to Letters of Credit.

Upon the funding of a Participation Advance by any Related Committed Purchaser, the Seller shall have an obligation to reimburse the Related Committed Purchaser for the amount of such Advance, plus any accrued Discount as set forth herein, and the Seller’s obligation to reimburse the LC Bank shall be correspondingly reduced by the amount of such Participation Advance.

Section 1.16 Repayment of Participation Advances.

(a) Upon (and only upon) receipt by the LC Bank for its account of immediately available funds from or for the account of the Seller in reimbursement of any draws under a Letter of Credit with respect to which any Related Committed Purchaser has made a Participation Advance to the LC Bank, the LC Bank will pay to each Related Committed Purchaser its ratable allocation of such funds (based on the outstanding Capital of such Related Committed Purchasers and the LC Bank), in the same funds as those received by the LC Bank; it being understood that the LC Bank shall retain a ratable amount of such funds that were not the subject of any Participation Advance in respect of such Letter of Credit by any Related Committed Purchaser.

(b) If the LC Bank is required at any time to return to the Seller, or to a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian, or any official in any insolvency proceeding, any portion of the payments made by the Seller to the LC Bank pursuant to this Agreement in reimbursement of a payment made under the Letter of Credit or interest or fee thereon, each Related Committed Purchaser shall, on demand of the LC Bank, forthwith return to the LC Bank the amount of its Commitment Percentage of any amounts so returned by the LC Bank pursuant to clause (a) above, plus interest at the Federal Funds Rate.

Section 1.17 Documentation.

(a) The Seller agrees to be bound by the terms of the Letter of Credit Application, by the LC Bank’s reasonable interpretations of any Letter of Credit issued for the Seller, and by the LC Bank’s written regulations and customary practices relating to letters of credit, notwithstanding that the LC Bank’s interpretation of such regulations and practices may be different from the Seller’s own. In the event of a conflict between the Letter of Credit Application and this Agreement, this Agreement shall govern. The LC Bank shall not be liable for any error, negligence and/or mistakes, whether of omission or commission, in following the Seller’s instructions or those contained in the Letters of Credit or any modifications, amendments or supplements thereto, other than in the case of gross negligence or willful misconduct by the LC Bank.

-19-

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision herein or in any other Transaction Document, the LC Bank shall be under no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit that the Seller has requested be issued in a form to which the LC Bank has not agreed in good faith and in its sole discretion.

Section 1.18 Determination to Honor Drawing Request.

In determining whether to honor any request for drawing under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, the LC Bank shall be responsible only to determine that the documents and certificates required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit have been delivered and that they comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit, and that any other drawing condition appearing on the face of such Letter of Credit has been satisfied in the manner so set forth (the delivery of such documents and the satisfaction of such conditions precedent, the “Applicable Conditions”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, there shall be no conditions precedent to any such drawing other than the Applicable Conditions.

Section 1.19 Nature of Participation and Reimbursement Obligations.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, each Related Committed Purchaser’s obligation in accordance with this Agreement to make Participation Advances as a result of a drawing under a Letter of Credit, and the obligations of the Seller to reimburse the LC Bank (or to reimburse any Purchaser that reimburses the LC Bank) upon a draw under a Letter of Credit, shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Article I under all circumstances, including without limitation the following circumstances:

(iii) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit;

(iv) any claim of breach of warranty that might be made by the Seller, the LC Bank or any Related Committed Purchaser against the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit, or the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which the Seller, the LC Bank or any Related Committed Purchaser may have at any time against a beneficiary, any successor beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit or the proceeds thereof (or any Persons for whom any such transferee may be acting), the LC Bank, any Related Committed Purchaser, any other Purchaser or any other Person, whether in connection

(v) the lack of power or authority of any signer of, or lack of validity, sufficiency, accuracy, enforceability or genuineness of, any draft, demand, instrument, certificate or other document presented under any Letter of Credit, or any such draft, demand, instrument, certificate or other document proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid, defective or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, even if the Administrative Agent or the LC Bank has been notified thereof;

(vi) payment by the LC Bank under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a demand, draft or certificate or other document which does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit other than as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the LC Bank;

(vii) the solvency of, or any acts or omissions by, any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit, or any other Person having a role in any transaction or obligation relating to a Letter of Credit, or the existence, nature, quality, quantity, condition, value or other characteristic of any property or services relating to a Letter of Credit;

(viii) any failure by the LC Bank or any of the LC Bank’s Affiliates to issue any Letter of Credit in the form requested by the Seller, unless the LC Bank has received written notice from the Seller of such failure within three Business Days after the LC Bank shall have furnished the Seller a copy of such Letter of Credit and such error is material and no drawing has been made thereon prior to receipt of such notice;

(ix) any Material Adverse Effect on the Seller, any Originator or any Affiliates thereof;

Section 1.21 Source of Funds.

All payments made by the LC Bank pursuant to any Letter of Credit shall be made from funds of the LC Bank, and not from the funds of any other Person.

Section 1.22 Indemnity.

In addition to other amounts payable hereunder, the Seller hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and save harmless the Administrative Agent, the LC Bank, each Related Committed Purchaser and any of the LC Bank’s Affiliates that have issued a Letter of Credit (provided, that the Issuance of a Letter of Credit by an Affiliate of the LC Bank shall not limit the obligations of the LC Bank hereunder) from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, taxes, penalties, interest, judgments, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including Attorney Costs) that the Administrative Agent, the LC Bank, any Related Committed Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of the Issuance of any Letter of Credit, unless resulting from (a) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party to be indemnified or (b) the wrongful dishonor by the LC Bank of a proper demand for payment made under any Letter of Credit, except if such dishonor resulted from any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto Governmental Authority (all such acts or omissions herein called “Governmental Acts”).

Section 1.23 Liability for Acts and Omissions.

As between the Seller, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the LC Bank and the Purchasers, on the other, the Seller assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, none of the Administrative Agent, the LC Bank or any Purchaser shall be responsible for: (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for an Issuance of any such Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged (even if the LC Bank shall have been notified thereof); (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, that may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) the failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit, or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred, to comply fully with any conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit or any other claim of the Seller against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, or any such transferee, or any dispute between or among the Seller and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any such transferee; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of

-22-

any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Administrative Agent, the LC Bank and the Purchasers, including any Governmental Acts; and none of the above shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of, any of the LC Bank’s rights or powers hereunder. Nothing in the preceding sentence shall relieve the LC Bank from liability for its gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, in connection with actions or omissions described in such clauses (i) through (viii) of such sentence. In no event shall the Administrative Agent, the LC Bank, the Purchasers or their respective Affiliates be liable to the Seller or any other Person for any indirect, consequential, incidental, punitive, exemplary or special damages or expenses (including without limitation attorneys’ fees), or for any damages resulting from any change in the value of any property relating to a Letter of Credit.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent, the LC Bank and the Purchasers and each of their respective Affiliates (i) may rely on any written communication believed in good faith by such Person to have been authorized or given by or on behalf of the applicant for a Letter of Credit; (ii) may honor any presentation if the documents presented appear on their face to comply with the terms and conditions of the relevant Letter of Credit; (iii) may honor a previously dishonored presentation under a Letter of Credit, whether such dishonor was pursuant to a court order, to settle or compromise any claim of wrongful dishonor, or otherwise, and shall be entitled to reimbursement to the same extent as if such presentation had initially been honored, together with any interest paid by the LC Bank or its Affiliates; (iv) may honor any drawing that is payable upon presentation of a statement advising negotiation or payment, upon receipt of such statement (even if such statement indicates that a draft or other document is being delivered separately), and shall not be liable for any failure of any such draft or other document to arrive, or to conform in any way with the relevant Letter of Credit; (v) may pay any paying or negotiating bank claiming that it rightfully honored under the laws or practices of the place where such bank is located; and (vi) may settle or adjust any claim or demand made on the Administrative Agent, the LC Bank, the Purchasers or their respective Affiliates, in any way related to any order issued at the applicant’s request to an air carrier, a letter of guarantee or of indemnity issued to a carrier or any similar document (each an “Order”), and honor any drawing in connection with any Letter of Credit that is the subject of such Order, notwithstanding that any drafts or other documents presented in connection with such Letter of Credit fail to conform in any way with such Letter of Credit.

In furtherance and not in limitation of the specific provisions set forth above, any action taken or omitted by the LC Bank under or in connection with the Letters of Credit issued by it or any documents and certificates delivered thereunder, if taken or omitted in good faith, shall not put the LC Bank under any resulting liability to the Seller, any Related Committed Purchaser or any other Person, unless such LC Bank shall have acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction,.

Section 1.24 Termination of Commitments.

-23-

(a) The Seller may advise the Administrative Agent in writing of its desire to extend the Scheduled Commitment Termination Date with respect to any Related Committed Purchaser, provided such request is made not less than 90 days prior to the then-current Scheduled Commitment Termination Date with respect to such Purchaser. Each Purchaser may accept or decline such a request in its sole discretion and on such terms as it may elect, and other than as set forth in clause (c), the failure of one or more Purchasers to accept the Seller’s request to extend the Scheduled Commitment Termination Date shall not affect the right of the other Purchasers to accept such request. The Administrative Agent shall notify each Purchaser of each other Purchaser’s decision to extend or not extend the Scheduled Termination Date, such that each Purchaser shall be entitled to know the aggregate Commitment of the extending Purchasers prior to confirming its decision to extend or decline to extend under this Section 1.24.

(b) In the event that any Purchasers are agreeable to such extension, the Administrative Agent shall so notify the Seller in writing not less than 60 days prior to the then-current Scheduled Commitment Termination Date of such extending Purchasers, and the Seller, the Administrative Agent and such extending Purchasers shall enter into such documents as such parties may deem necessary or appropriate to reflect such extension. All reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the accepting Purchasers and the Administrative Agent in connection with such extension (including reasonable Attorneys’ Costs) shall be paid by the Seller.

In the event any Purchaser declines the request for such extension, such Exiting Purchaser shall so notify the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall so notify the Seller of such determination; provided, a Purchaser shall be deemed to have refused to grant the requested extension in the event the Administrative Agent fails to affirmatively notify the Seller, in writing, of such Purchaser’s agreement to accept the requested extension.

(c) If any such Purchaser does not accept such extension request, then the Purchase Limit shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Commitment of each Exiting Purchaser, and each extending Purchaser’s Commitment Percentage shall be recalculated, effective as of the Scheduled Commitment Termination Date of the Exiting Purchasers, giving effect to the removal of such Exiting Purchaser’s from such calculation.

On the Scheduled Commitment Termination Date with respect to any Purchaser, in the event that the aggregate Commitment of the extending Purchasers is less than the sum of (i) the aggregate Capital plus (ii) the LC Participation Amount, then notwithstanding that any Purchaser wishes to extend its Commitment hereunder, the Scheduled Facility Termination Date for each Purchaser shall occur on the date previously set therefor without giving effect to any extension thereof pursuant to this Section 1.24.

ARTICLE IV

ADMINISTRATION AND COLLECTIONS

Section 4.1 Appointment of the Servicer.

(a) The servicing, administering and collection of the Pool Receivables shall be conducted by the Person so designated from time to time as the Servicer in accordance with this Section. Until the Administrative Agent gives notice to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (in accordance with this Section 4.1) of the designation of a new Servicer, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ is hereby designated as, and hereby agrees to perform the duties and obligations of, the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Termination Event, the Administrative Agent may (with the consent of the Majority Purchasers) or shall (at the direction of the Majority Purchasers) designate as Servicer any Person (including itself) to succeed ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or any successor Servicer, on the condition in each case that any such Person so designated shall have agreed in writing to perform the duties and obligations of the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof and under the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement.

(b) Upon the designation of a successor Servicer as set forth in clause (a), ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (or any successor Servicer being terminated) agrees that it will terminate its activities as Servicer hereunder in a manner that the Administrative Agent reasonably determines will facilitate the transition of the performance of such activities to the new Servicer, and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (or any successor Servicer being terminated) shall cooperate with and assist such new Servicer. Such cooperation shall include access to and transfer of related records (including all Contracts) and taking all commercially reasonable steps to transfer to the new Servicer all licenses, hardware or software necessary or desirable to collect the Pool Receivables and the Related Security.

(c) ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ acknowledges that, in making their decision to execute and deliver this Agreement, the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser have relied on ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ agreement to act as Servicer hereunder. Accordingly, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees that it will not voluntarily resign as Servicer.

-28-

(d) The Servicer may delegate its duties and obligations hereunder to any subservicer (each a “Sub-Servicer”); provided, that, in connection with each such delegation: (i) such Sub-Servicer shall agree in writing to perform the delegated duties and obligations of the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof, (ii) the Servicer shall remain primarily liable for the performance of the duties and obligations so delegated, (iii) the Seller, the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser shall have the right to look solely to the Servicer for such performance, and (iv) the terms of any agreement with any Sub-Servicer shall provide that the Administrative Agent may terminate such agreement upon the termination of the Servicer hereunder by giving notice of its desire to terminate such agreement to the Servicer (and the Servicer shall provide appropriate notice to each such Sub-Servicer); provided, however, that if any such delegation is to any Person other than an Affiliate of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, the Administrative Agent and the Majority Purchasers shall have consented in writing in advance to such delegation.

Section 4.2 Duties of the Servicer.

(a) The Servicer shall take or cause to be taken all such action as may be necessary or advisable to service, administer and collect each Pool Receivable (i) in accordance with this Agreement and all applicable laws, rules and regulations, (ii) with reasonable care and diligence, and (iii) in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policies (to the extent consistent with Applicable Law). The Servicer shall set aside, for the account of each Purchaser, the amount of the Collections to which each such Purchaser is entitled in accordance with Article I. The Servicer may extend or adjust the terms or Maturity of any Pool Receivable as set forth in clause 2(g) of Exhibit IV; provided, however, that, for purposes of this Agreement, (i) such action shall not change the number of days such Pool Receivable has remained unpaid from the date of the original due date related to such Pool Receivable, and (ii) such extension or adjustment shall not alter the status of such Pool Receivable as a Delinquent Receivable or a Defaulted Receivable or limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser under this Agreement with respect to such Pool Receivable. The Seller shall deliver to the Servicer and the Servicer shall hold for the benefit of the Seller and the Administrative Agent (individually and for the benefit of each Purchaser) all records and documents (including computer tapes or disks) with respect to each Pool Receivable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Administrative Agent may direct the Servicer (whether the Servicer is ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or any other Person) (x) during the occurrence of a Termination Event, to commence or settle any legal action, and (y) at any other time (including, for the avoidance of doubt, during the occurrence of an Incipient Termination Event that is not a Termination Event), to take any commercially reasonable action, in each case to enforce collection of any Pool Receivable or to foreclose upon or repossess any Related Security.

(b) The Servicer shall, as soon as practicable following actual receipt of collected funds, turn over to the Seller the collections of any indebtedness that is not a Pool Receivable, less all reasonable and appropriate out-of-pocket costs and expenses of such Servicer of servicing, collecting and administering such collections. The Servicer, if other than ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or an Affiliate thereof, shall, as soon as practicable upon demand, deliver to the Seller all records in its possession that evidence or relate to any indebtedness that is not a Pool Receivable, and copies of records in its possession that evidence or relate to any indebtedness that is a Pool Receivable.

-29-

(c) The Servicer’s obligations hereunder shall terminate on the latest of: (i) the Facility Termination Date, (ii) the date on which no Capital or Discount in respect of the Purchaser’s Interest shall be outstanding, (iii) the date the LC Participation Adjusted Amount is reduced to zero and (iv) the date on which all other amounts required to be paid to each Purchaser, the Administrative Agent and any other Indemnified Party or Affected Person hereunder shall have been paid in full.

After such termination, the Servicer shall promptly deliver to the Seller all books, records and related materials that the Seller previously provided to the Servicer, or that have been obtained by the Servicer, in connection with this Agreement.

Section 4.3 Account Arrangements.

(a) Prior to the Closing Date, the Seller shall have entered into (i) Lock-Box Agreements with all of the Lock-Box Banks, (ii) the Intercreditor Agreement, and (iii) a Collection Account Agreement with all of the Collection Account Banks, and delivered original counterparts of each to the Administrative Agent. Each of the Lock-Box Accounts and the Collection Accounts shall be used for the purpose of receiving Collections as described herein and in the other Transaction Documents. During the continuation of a Termination Event or Incipient Termination Event, the Administrative Agent may, with the consent of the Majority Purchasers, or shall, upon the direction of the Majority Purchasers, at any time thereafter provide a Stop Transfer Notice (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) to each Lock-Box Bank and provide notice to each Collection Account Bank that the Administrative Agent is exercising its rights under the Collection Account Agreements, as the case may be, to do any or all of the following, in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement: (a) to exercise exclusive dominion and control over the funds deposited in the Lock-Box Accounts and/or the Collection Accounts, (b) to have the proceeds of the Pool Receivables that are sent to the respective Lock-Box Accounts allocated in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement pursuant to the Administrative Agent’s instructions rather than deposited in the Collection Accounts and, and/or to have the proceeds that are sent to the Collection Accounts redirected pursuant to the Administrative Agent’s instructions rather than transferred to the Servicer, and (c) to take any or all other actions permitted under the applicable Lock-Box Agreement, Intercreditor Agreement and Collection Account Agreement. The Seller hereby agrees that if the Administrative Agent at any time takes any action set forth in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall have exclusive control (for the benefit of the Purchasers) of the proceeds (including Collections) of all Pool Receivables and the Seller and the Servicer hereby further agree to take any other action that the Administrative Agent may reasonably request to transfer such control. Any proceeds of Pool Receivables received by the Seller or the Servicer thereafter shall be sent immediately to, or as otherwise instructed by, the Administrative Agent. The parties hereto hereby acknowledge and agree that if at any time the Administrative Agent exercises its right to take control of any Lock-Box Account and/or any Collection Account, as the case may be, the Administrative Agent (i) shall not have any rights to the funds therein in excess of the unpaid amounts due to the Administrative Agent, any Purchaser, any Indemnified Party or any other Affected Person hereunder, and (ii) shall distribute or cause to be distributed such funds in accordance with Article I (as if such funds were held by the Servicer thereunder).

-30-

(b) Other than during the continuation of a Termination Event or Incipient Termination Event, all funds in a Collection Account during any Settlement Period may be invested, by or at the direction of the Servicer, in Permitted Investments, so long as (i) either (A) such Permitted Investments are credited to a “securities account” (as defined in the applicable UCC) over which the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Purchasers) shall have a first priority perfected security interest, (B) such Permitted Investments are purchased in the name of the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Purchasers) or (C) such Permitted Investments are held in another manner sufficient to establish the Administrative Agent’s first priority perfected security interest over such Permitted Investments and (ii) such Permitted Investments are scheduled to mature prior to the Settlement Date relating to the Settlement Period in which such investments were made. All income and gain or loss realized from any such investment shall be credited or debited (as applicable) to the applicable Collection Account. The Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to reimburse any Collection Account for any losses realized by reason of such investments.

Section 4.4 Enforcement Rights.

(a) At any time following the occurrence and during the continuation of a Termination Event, the Administrative Agent may:

(i) direct the Obligors that payment of all amounts payable under any Pool Receivable is to be made directly to the Administrative Agent or its designee,

(ii) instruct the Seller or the Servicer to give notice of the Purchaser’s Interest and the Purchasers’ security interest in the Pool Receivables to each Obligor, which notice shall direct that payments be made directly to the Administrative Agent or its designee (on behalf of such Purchasers), and the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, shall give such notice at the expense of the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be; provided, that if the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, fails to so notify each Obligor, the Administrative Agent (at the Seller’s or the Servicer’s, as the case may be, expense) may so notify the Obligors,

(iii) request the Servicer to, and upon such request the Servicer shall, (A) assemble all of the records necessary or desirable to collect the Pool Receivables and the Related Security, and take commercially reasonable action to transfer or license to a successor Servicer the use of all software necessary or desirable to collect the Pool Receivables and the Related Security, and make the same available to the Administrative Agent or its designee (for the benefit of the Purchasers) at a place selected by the Administrative Agent, and (B) segregate all cash, checks and other instruments received by it from time to time constituting Collections in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and, promptly upon receipt, remit all such cash, checks and instruments, duly indorsed or with duly executed instruments of transfer, to the Administrative Agent or its designee, in each case in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement, and

(iv) collect any amounts due from any Originator under the Sale Agreement.

-31-

(b) The Seller hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent (on behalf of each Purchaser), and irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution and with full authority in the place and stead of the Seller, which appointment is coupled with an interest, after the occurrence and during the continuation of a Termination Event to take any and all steps in the name of the Seller and on behalf of the Seller necessary or desirable, in the determination of the Administrative Agent, to collect any and all amounts or portions thereof due under any and all Pool Assets, including indorsing the name of the Seller on checks and other instruments representing Collections and enforcing such Pool Assets. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this subsection, none of the powers conferred upon such attorney-in-fact pursuant to the preceding sentence shall subject such attorney-in-fact to any liability if any action taken by it shall prove to be inadequate or invalid, nor shall they confer any obligations upon such attorney-in-fact in any manner whatsoever.

Section 4.5 Responsibilities of the Seller.

(a) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Seller shall: (i) perform all of its obligations, if any, under the Contracts related to the Pool Receivables to the same extent as if interests in such Pool Receivables had not been transferred hereunder, and the exercise by the Administrative Agent or the Purchasers of their respective rights hereunder shall not relieve the Seller from such obligations, and (ii) pay when due any taxes, including any sales taxes payable in connection with the Pool Receivables and their creation and satisfaction. None of the Administrative Agent or any of the Purchasers shall have any obligation or liability with respect to any Pool Asset, nor shall any of them be obligated to perform any of the obligations of the Seller, Servicer or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ hereunder or under any other Transaction Document or under the related Contracts or the obligations of any Originator under the Sale Agreement or any other Transaction Document or under the related Contracts.

(b) ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ hereby irrevocably agrees that if at any time it shall cease to be the Servicer hereunder, it shall act (if the then-current Servicer so requests) as the data-processing agent of the Servicer and, in such capacity, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall conduct the data-processing functions of the administration of the Receivables and the Collections thereon in substantially the same way that ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ conducted such data-processing functions while it acted as the Servicer; provided, that the reasonable costs and expenses of such data-processing functions shall be borne by the successor Servicer out of the Servicing Fee.

Section 4.6 Servicing Fee.

(a) Subject to clause (b), the Servicer shall be paid a fee (the “Servicing Fee”) equal to the Servicing Fee Rate multiplied by the daily average aggregate Outstanding Balance of the Pool Receivables during the applicable month to which such Servicing Fee relates, which shall be payable monthly in arrears. The Servicing Fee shall be paid through the distributions contemplated by Section 1.4(d).

(b) If the Servicer ceases to be ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or an Affiliate thereof, the servicing fee shall be the greater of (i) the amount calculated pursuant to clause (a), and (ii) an alternative amount specified by the successor Servicer not to exceed 110% of the aggregate reasonable costs and expenses incurred by such successor Servicer in connection with the performance of its obligations as Servicer.

-32-

Section 4.7 Annual Servicing Report of Independent Public Accountants. In addition to and without limiting any reports required to be provided by it in Exhibit IV hereto, at the request of the Administrative Agent (made no more than once in each calendar year), the Servicer shall cause a firm approved by the Administrative Agent (who may also render other services to the Servicer or the Seller) to furnish a report (addressed to the Administrative Agent) to the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser, to the effect that:

(i) they have examined certain documents and records relating to the servicing of Receivables under the Agreement, and compared the information contained in the Servicer Reports (delivered pursuant to Section 2(a)(iii) of Exhibit IV to the Agreement) during the period covered by such report with such documents and records, and that, on the basis of such examination, such firm is of the opinion that the servicing has been conducted in compliance with the terms and conditions as set forth in this Article IV, and

(ii) that they have compared the mathematical calculations of each amount set forth in the Servicer Reports (delivered pursuant to Section 2(a)(iii) of Exhibit IV to the Agreement) during the period covered by such report with the Servicer’s computer records that were the source of such amounts, and that, on the basis of such comparison, such firm is of the opinion that such amounts are in agreement,

in each case except for such exceptions as they believe to be immaterial and such other exceptions as shall be set forth in such statements.

The Administrative Agent shall hold, in its name, for the benefit of each Purchaser, ratably, the Purchaser’s Interest. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties other than those expressly set forth herein or any fiduciary relationship with any Purchaser, and no implied obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement, or otherwise exist, against the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent does not assume, nor shall it be deemed to have assumed, any obligation to, or relationship of trust or agency with, the Seller or Servicer. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to the contrary, in no event shall the Administrative Agent ever be required to take any action which exposes the Administrative Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to the provision of any Transaction Document or applicable law.

-33-

(b) Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, the provisions of this Article V are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers, and none of the Seller or Servicer shall have any rights as a third-party beneficiary or otherwise under any of the provisions of this Article V, except that this Article V shall not affect any obligations which the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser may have to the Seller or the Servicer under the other provisions of this Agreement.

(c) In performing its functions and duties hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall act solely as the agent of the Purchasers and does not assume nor shall be deemed to have assumed any obligation or relationship of trust or agency with or for the Seller or Servicer or any of their successors and assigns.

Section 5.2 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

Section 5.3 Exculpatory Provisions. None of the Administrative Agent or any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted (i) with the consent or at the direction of the Majority Purchasers and (ii) in the absence of such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible to any Purchaser or other Person for (i) any recitals, representations, warranties or other statements made by the Seller, Servicer, or any of their Affiliates, (ii) the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of any Transaction Document, (iii) any failure of the Seller, the Servicer, any Originator or any of their Affiliates to perform any obligation hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party (or under any Contract), or (iv) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Exhibit II. The Administrative Agent shall not have any obligation to any Purchaser to ascertain or inquire about the observance or performance of any agreement contained in any Transaction Document or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Seller, Servicer, Originator or any of their Affiliates.

Section 5.4 Reliance by Agents. (a) The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any document or other writing or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Seller), independent accountants and other experts selected with reasonable care by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Transaction Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Majority Purchasers, and assurance of its indemnification, as it deems appropriate.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement in accordance with a request of the Majority Purchasers, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all Purchasers and the Administrative Agent.

Section 5.5 Notice of Termination Events. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Termination Event or Incipient Termination Event unless such Administrative Agent has received notice from any Purchaser, the Servicer or the Seller stating that a Termination Event or Incipient Termination Event has occurred

-34-

hereunder and describing such Termination Event or Incipient Termination Event. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, it shall promptly give notice thereof to each Purchaser. The Administrative Agent shall take such action concerning a Termination Event or Incipient Termination Event as may be directed by the Majority Purchasers unless such action otherwise requires the consent of all Purchasers, the LC Bank and/or all Related Committed Purchasers, but until the Administrative Agent receives such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, as the Administrative Agent deems advisable and in the best interests of the Purchasers.

Section 5.6 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Purchasers. Each Purchaser expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Seller, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, Servicer or any Originator, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent. Each Purchaser represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent that, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Purchaser and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, it has made and will continue to make its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, prospects, financial and other conditions and creditworthiness of the Seller, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, Servicer or the Originators, and the Receivables and its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to take, or omit, action under any Transaction Document.

With respect to the acquisition of the Eligible Receivables pursuant to this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any Purchaser and may exercise the same as though it were not such an agent, and the terms “Purchaser” and “Purchasers” shall include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity.

Section 5.8 Indemnification. Each Related Committed Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) and the LC Bank and their respective officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents, ratably (based on its Commitment) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, judgments, settlements, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind whatsoever (including in connection with any investigative or threatened proceeding, whether or not the Administrative Agent, the LC Bank or such Person shall be designated a party thereto) that may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent, the LC Bank or such Person as a result of, or related to, any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents or the execution, delivery or performance of the Transaction Documents or any other document furnished in connection therewith (but excluding any such liabilities, obligations,

-35-

losses, damages, penalties, judgments, settlements, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or such Person as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), in each case to the extent not reimbursed by the Seller, the Servicer or any Originator in accordance with the terms hereof (it being understood that such indemnification by the Related Committed Purchasers shall not relieve the Seller, the Servicer or any Originator of any of its indemnification obligations hereunder). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Related Committed Purchaser agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent and the LC Bank, ratably according to their Commitment Percentages, promptly upon demand, for any out-of- pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred by the Administrative Agent or the LC Bank in connection with the administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of its rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement.

Such resignation shall not become effective until a successor Administrative Agent, appointed by the Majority Purchasers, shall have agreed in writing to perform the duties and obligations of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms hereof. Upon such agreement, such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Transaction Documents. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of Sections 3.1 and 3.2 and this Article V shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent.

Such Purchaser shall remain solely responsible for performing its obligations hereunder, and the Seller, the Servicer and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Purchaser in connection with such Purchaser’s rights and obligations hereunder. A Purchaser shall not agree with a Participant to restrict such Purchaser’s right to agree to any amendment hereto, except amendments that require the consent of all Purchasers.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything contained in clause (a) or subclause (b)(i) of this Section 6.3, each of the LC Bank and each Related Committed Purchaser may sell participations in all or any part of any Purchase made by such Related Committed Purchaser to a Participant so long as (i) no such grant of a participation shall, without the consent of the Seller, require the Seller to file a registration statement with the SEC and (ii) no holder of any such participation shall be entitled to require such Related Committed Purchaser to take or omit to take any action hereunder except that such Related Committed Purchaser may agree with such participant that, without such Participant’s consent, such Related Committed Purchaser will not consent to an amendment, modification or waiver referred to in clauses (A) through (H) of Section 6.1. Such Purchaser shall remain solely responsible for performing its obligations hereunder, and the Seller, the Servicer and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Purchaser in connection with such Purchaser’s rights and obligations hereunder.

Any such Participant shall not have any rights hereunder or under the Transaction Documents except that such Participant shall have rights under Sections 1.7, 1.8, 1.9 and 1.10 hereunder as if it were a Related Committed Purchaser; provided that no such Participant shall be entitled to receive any payment pursuant to such sections which is greater in amount than the payment which the transferor Related Committed Purchaser would have otherwise been entitled to receive in respect of the participation interest so sold.

In addition, any Purchaser may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights (including, without limitation), rights to payment of Capital and Yield) under this Agreement to secure the obligations of such Purchaser to any Federal Reserve Bank, in each case without notice to or consent of the Seller or the Administrative Agent; provided, that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Purchaser from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledge or assignee for such Purchaser as a party hereto.

(c) Assignments by Certain Related Committed Purchasers. Any Related Committed Purchaser may assign to one or more Persons (each a “Purchasing Related Committed Purchaser”), who is reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Seller, any portion

-38-

of its Commitment pursuant to a supplement hereto, substantially in the form of Annex E with any changes as have been approved by the parties thereto (each, a “Transfer Supplement”), executed by each such Purchasing Related Committed Purchaser, such selling Related Committed Purchaser, the Administrative Agent and the Seller, provided, that the consent of the Seller shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the consent of the Seller shall not be required if:

(i) a Termination Event or Incipient Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, or

(ii) if the assignment is made by a Related Committed Purchaser to (1) the Administrative Agent, (2) any other Related Committed Purchaser, (3) an Affiliate of the Administrative Agent or any Related Committed Purchaser, or (4) any Program Support Provider.

Additionally, any Purchaser hereunder may assign any funded portion of its Commitment, without the consent of the Seller, to (1) the Administrative Agent, (2) any other Related Committed Purchaser, (3) an Affiliate of the Administrative Agent or any Related Committed Purchaser, (4) any commercial paper conduit or similar financing vehicle sponsored or administered by such Purchaser and for whom such Purchaser acts as a program support provider or through which (directly or indirectly) such Purchaser does or may fund Purchases hereunder (each, a “Conduit”), or (5) any Program Support Provider.

Upon (i) the execution of the Transfer Supplement, (ii) delivery of an executed copy thereof to the Seller, the Servicer and the Administrative Agent and (iii) payment by the Purchasing Related Committed Purchaser to the selling Related Committed Purchaser of the agreed-upon purchase price, if any, such selling Related Committed Purchaser shall be released from its obligations hereunder to the extent of such assignment and such Purchasing Related Committed Purchaser shall for all purposes be a Related Committed Purchaser party hereto and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Related Committed Purchaser hereunder to the same extent as if it were an original party hereto. The amount of the Commitment of the selling Related Committed Purchaser allocable to such Purchasing Related Committed Purchaser shall be equal to the amount of the Commitment of the selling Related Committed Purchaser transferred regardless of the purchase price, if any, paid therefor. The Transfer Supplement shall be an amendment hereof only to the extent necessary to reflect the addition of such Purchasing Related Committed Purchaser as a “Related Committed Purchaser” and any resulting adjustment of the selling Related Committed Purchaser’s Commitment, and shall not otherwise be considered an amendment of this Agreement.

(d) Assignments to Liquidity Providers and other Program Support Providers. The Conduit Purchaser may at any time grant to one or more of its Liquidity Providers or other Program Support Providers, participating interests in its portion of the Purchaser’s Interest. The Seller agrees that each Liquidity Bank and Program Support Provider hereunder shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 1.7. Such Conduit Purchaser shall remain solely responsible for performing its obligations hereunder, and the Seller, the Servicer and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Conduit Purchaser in connection with such Conduit Purchaser’s rights and obligations hereunder.

-39-

(e) Other Assignment by Conduit Purchaser. Without limiting the right of the Conduit Purchaser to sell or grant interests or participations to its Liquidity Providers and Program Support Providers as described in clause (d), above, each party hereto agrees and consents to (i) the Conduit Purchaser’s assignment, participation, grant of security interests in or other transfers of any portion of, or any of its beneficial interest in, the Purchaser’s Interest (or portion thereof), including without limitation to any collateral agent in connection with a commercial paper program, and (ii) the complete assignment by the Conduit Purchaser of all of its rights and obligations hereunder to any other Person, and upon such assignment the Conduit Purchaser shall be released from all obligations and duties, if any, hereunder; provided, however, that the Conduit Purchaser may not, without the prior consent of its Related Committed Purchasers, make any such transfer of its rights pursuant to this clause (e) unless the assignee (x) is a Conduit or (y) (i) has as its Liquidity Bank any Liquidity Bank of the assigning Conduit Purchaser and (ii) is in the business or funding assets through the issuance (directly or indirectly) of commercial paper notes. Any assigning Conduit Purchaser shall deliver to any assignee a Transfer Supplement with any changes as have been approved by the parties thereto, duly executed by such Conduit Purchaser, assigning any portion of its interest in the Purchaser’s Interest to its assignee. Such Conduit Purchaser shall promptly (i) notify each of the other parties hereto of such assignment and (ii) take all further action that the assignee reasonably requests in order to evidence the assignee’s right, title and interest in such interest in the Purchaser’s Interest and to enable the assignee to exercise or enforce any rights of such Conduit Purchaser hereunder. Upon the assignment of any portion of its interest in the Purchaser’s Interest, the assignee shall have all of the rights hereunder with respect to such interest (except that the Discount therefor shall thereafter accrue at the rate, determined with respect to the assigning Conduit Purchaser unless the Seller and the assignee shall have agreed upon a different Discount). No assignment by any Conduit Purchaser of all or any portion of its Purchaser’s Interest shall in any way diminish the obligation of its Related Committed Purchasers under Section 1.1 to fund any Purchase not funded by such Conduit Purchaser or the assignee Conduit Purchaser.

(f) Register. The Seller hereby designates the Administrative Agent to serve as the Seller’s agent, solely for the purpose of this clause (f), to maintain a register (the “Register”) on which the Administrative Agent will record any interests in the Receivables Pool held by any Affected Person or Participant. The Register shall include the respective commitments, participation of each party in the Receivables Pool and each repayment in respect of the Receivables Pool, and annexed to which the Administrative Agent shall retain a copy of any Transfer Supplement delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this clause (f). Failure to make any recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect the Seller’s obligations in respect of the Transaction Documents. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive (provided, however, that any failure to make any recordation or any error in such recordation shall be corrected by the Administrative Agent upon notice or discovery thereof), and the Seller, the Administrative Agent and each other party to the transaction (including any assignees and Participants) shall treat each person in whose name an interest in the Receivables Pool is registered as the owner thereof for all purposes of the Transaction Documents, notwithstanding notice or any provision herein to the contrary.

As an integral part of the selling effort, CFS recognizes the importance of working with customers to help them prosper and grow into being even better customers. The department must also stand ready to take responsible risks in order to maximize sales, always weighing potential profit against possible loss.

In its financial role, CFS must conserve capital by maintaining as short an accounts receivable collection period as possible consistent with current practices in the industries serviced, yet be sensitive to short-term financial needs of customers.

The responsibilities of CFS encompass:

Customer Counseling—In exercising its marketing role, the department maintains a close working relationship with Lancaster and field sales management so that it can be responsive to the financial needs of the marketplace, recognizing that the needs of individual customers are not always financial. Members of CFS are in frequent contact with customers through correspondence and personal visits. Because of their unique opportunity to study the operations of many like businesses, customers often look to them for guidance and counsel and this is encouraged. By helping to develop a healthy, growing distribution system, CFS takes a positive approach to increasing profitable sales while reducing possible losses. The department also conducts and publishes financial and operating surveys and management guides for various classes of customers to provide those customers with benchmarks against which they can compare individual effort.

Credit Extension—Credit extension involves a judgment of financial risk as to prompt collection and ultimate collection. In appraising financial risk, many sources of information are used—some published and some of a private and highly confidential nature. Members of the department must establish and maintain channels of communications with the financial managements of other suppliers, banks, and sundry other members of the financial community. The extent to which mutual trust and confidence is developed often determines the completeness of information received.

Different criterion must be used in evaluating the information obtained, and therefore, a thorough knowledge of the customer business is required in order to reach valid conclusions.

Collection Efforts – CFS has the responsibility for collection of all funds due the Company. Most are a result of trade sales, but receivables may result from other transactions or unusual note financing. In extending credit with reasonable liberality, it is most important that payment follow-up be prompt and effective. It is equally important that it be done in such a way as to maintain customer goodwill. Collection effort must be fair and professional but frequent and forceful; if unsuccessful, legal proceedings are instituted.

Schedule I-1

The comment section of the customer master in SAP is to be used by CFS reps to document conversations with customers including the date and details of the conversation. This detail is available then if needed in future conversations.

To determine what items are past due, CFS personnel have access to aging reports that they can run at any time, a tickler system, and the order process.

ABP distributes nonstandard deductions to the customer focus group who determines if the item is to be credited. The role of CFS at this point is to follow up with customer focus or the sales rep if the item is not processed on a timely basis. If a credit is issued, the credit is applied against the nonstandard and removed from the account. If it is determined that the item is to be repaid, Customer Focus provides CFS with proper explanation so collection can be made.

ASA and AFP nonstandard deductions are forwarded to the appropriate CFS Claims Correspondent for handling. They will investigate and follow up with the appropriate sales representatives if necessary to determine if the item should be credited. If credit is issued, it will be applied against the nonstandard and removed from the account. If the item is one that the customer is to pay, the claims correspondent will provide a proper explanation to the customer, requesting that they pay back the nonstandard deduction.

Terms of Sale—CFS manages the implementation and execution of terms of sale. CFS has the sole responsibility for administering the terms in a consistent and fair manner.

Business Unit Support—CFS assists the business with all back office functions required to support existing or new businesses. CFS works closely with the other “order-to-cash” operations to assure delivery of low cost, value-added services as expected by the business unit and customer base.

Staff Services—Financial counsel is provided to other staff and line organizations, such as to the Purchasing Department in analyzing the financial responsibility of suppliers and contractors or to marketing management in helping to appraise potential distribution outlets.

International Operations—CFS provides oversight on the management of receivables world-wide and assures proper policies, procedures and controls are in place to confirm global compliance to business unit strategies on working capital and business risk.

Policies and Operating Procedures—Policies and operating procedures are to exist that confirm CFS’ compliance to Company and business unit policies.

Publications—CFS regularly publishes financial surveys and management guides, and over the years has produced articles on a variety of subjects appropriate for customer counseling.

Use of Credit Reporting Agencies

CFS subscribes to the Dun & Bradstreet credit reporting service. Because of the sizable cost of this service, CFS manages the usage of this service carefully.

Schedule I-2

It necessary to closely audit charges by Dun & Bradstreet. It is important to record all reports that are ordered in the D&B folder in the G drive so that we have an accurate count of the units to be charged against our contract and assure proper charges.

Frequently CFS receives requests from departments outside CFS, including Corporate Planning, Purchasing, Engineering, Research and Patent Departments. These requests should be monitored by CFS.

Exchange of Credit Information

The exchange of credit information is an important and integral part of the credit approval process. The courts have upheld the right of companies to exchange information in the commercial arena as long as the proper standards of conduct are maintained.

A.	Inquires Received in Lancaster

First and foremost is that the inquirer has the need to know. Where the inquirer will not be specific as to the reason for the inquiry, we will not provide information on the subject.

If the inquirer is currently doing business with the account, they should be willing to share their experience with us. Again, if they are unwilling to do so, we will not provide information on the subject.

The information reported should be restricted to:

The balance outstanding.

Recent high credit.

Manner of payment — discount, prompt, days slow.

We will not provide information or make reference to:

Future action we may be contemplating.

Recommendation of the account to the inquiring party.

Nonstandard terms.

B.	Inquiries Initiated by CFS

The same rules and courtesies we expect when receiving inquiries should be observed when initiating inquiries.

Generally most inquiries will be carried out by fax. We use our own forms which asks for the same information as on postage paid form #42630. Where written inquiries are made, we should use the postage-paid Form #42630 for trade inquiries and the NACM Form 20 or Request for Bank Credit Information for bank inquiries. See Exhibits A1 and B.

C.	Industry Trade Credit Groups

A very important source of trade credit information is obtained through CFS participation in various industry-wide trade credit groups. All of the groups in which we maintain memberships are governed by by-laws which prohibit illegal conduct during meetings where exchange of account information takes place.

Schedule I-3

CFS personnel attending these meetings have a responsibility to assure themselves that the by-laws be observed. If this is not the case, they shall announce that they are leaving the meeting if such behavior continues and, barring a cessation, leave.

Credit Approval Procedure

While an initial credit investigation is conducted on all new accounts, the degree and frequency of updated reviews is determined by the amount of credit extended and assumed risk. All accounts granted credit lines greater than or equal to $10,000 require credit reviews annually and are to be completed within 18 months of the prior review. All customers with credit lines between $5,000 and $10,000 are subject to a credit review every 18-24 months unless payment experience or other information learned dictates a more timely review. Accounts with credit lines below $5,000 are to be reviewed as necessary with continued credit extension based primarily on payment experience and other credit information learned.

All customers are to be assigned a credit risk code (see exhibit D-1). Companies determined to be financially strong and represent little risk to the company are assigned a sufficient credit line so that orders are not blocked unnecessarily. Customers are assigned to CFS personnel for day to day handling based on risk. High risk and/or slow paying customers are either assigned to management or assigned to credit correspondents for daily administration with close supervision from management.

At the option of the CFS account manager, customers may be assigned a lower credit line or a zero credit line that simply recognizes a higher degree of risk and the necessity for more control of the customer’s account.

The credit line and risk code assigned to each customer determines whether an order will be blocked or unblocked depending on various criteria. The procedure is as follows:

Orders taken by customer focus reps are entered into SAP. After the order is entered, the value of the order is calculated. SAP adds this order value to the customer’s total exposure, which is the sum of the value of all open orders and the A/R balance (see exhibit D-1 for variations to this calculation based on the criteria for each risk code). If the total exposure exceeds the assigned credit limit, the order is blocked. The order could also be blocked because it is not in compliance with the criteria set by the risk code.

The blocked order screen shows the order number, shipping date, name of the customer, order value and reason for it being held. The CFS rep can drill down into the order and see what product is being shipped along with the purchase order etc.

On-line daily, each CFS rep reviews blocked orders that are scheduled to ship. Inasmuch as order approval is top priority, the credit rep will immediately check the account status and either approve the order or ask the Customer focus rep to continue to hold it until some further action can be taken. Often times, that action involves contacting the customer for a commitment to arrange settlement of a past-due balance, and assuming appropriate arrangements can be made with the customer, the order will normally be approved the same day as requested. If unable to contact the customer or make appropriate arrangements, the order will continue to be held until such time as the CFS requirements are fulfilled. In all cases, there is an immediate, same-day attempt to negotiate an acceptable arrangement with the customer.

Schedule I-4

Every night, a batch interface is run to update the A/R balance and credit limit for each customer from SAP. This process also evaluates past-due balances. SAP then uses the criteria in the risk codes and credit lines to determine if the order is blocked. It must be noted that the customer focus reps will not be able to release held orders from the system.

Select and limited customer accounts in SAP, as approved by the Dir of CFS, are provided a credit risk code of “110” which permits orders for these customers to ignore SAP credit rules that reviewing balances against credit lines and delinquency. These exceptions are for large AFP distributors and ASA retailers that consistently earn the maximum discount. Through CFS’ close supervision of these accounts, CFS identifies that a problem may exist if these customers do not earn the maximum discount. These accounts also typically remit payment electronically so failure to make a payment is easily detected. In addition, CFS receives a daily credit report (FIARR357) reflecting the credit line in use by these customers. Should a customer exceed the approved credit line, the account is triggered for a credit line review and an approval for a credit line increase is pursued. (06/18/09)

Administration of Terms of Sale

It is CFS policy to administer established terms of sale in a fair and consistent manner as required by law and implicit in the Company’s operating principals.

Deviation from established terms of sale may occur for a number of reasons:

Credit Restriction — When open account cannot be justified, cash in advance, wire transfer of funds before shipment, C.O.D. (either certified or customer check) may be required. Unless there is a balance open on the account which is beyond the cash discount date, the established terms’ maximum cash discount will be allowed.

Schedule I-5

Competitive Terms — Occasionally the Company will be asked by our customer to meet terms offered by competing vendors. If the sales department elects to proceed with the request to change a customer’s terms, they are expected to obtain a letter from the customer stating the competitive nature of the request and review with CFS. Also, additional security may be provided to differentiate this request from other customers. Ultimately, CFS (Finance) and/or Legal are expected to approve each request before the modified terms will be extended.

C.	Promotional Terms — Rarely, the sales group will request to make available to customers promotional terms usually calling for extended payment periods which usually preserve the maximum cash discount opportunity.

It is CFS responsibility to analyze the cost of incremental investment that results from offering the terms and advise the Sales Manager of the costs prior to the promotion. Further, CFS will make recommendations concerning the timing and structure of the terms. From time to time, it may be necessary to withhold the availability of promotional terms from some customers because they cannot justify the higher level of credit and CFS will so advise the Sales Manager.

Following the promotion and when requested, CFS will provide an analysis of the actual results, including the cost of the incremental investment, to the Sales Manager if requested.

D.	A list of established terms of sale is maintained in CES.

Financial Assistance to Customers

The policy of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ World Industries, Inc., is to provide, where deserved, adequate trade credit on established terms of sale. It is not Company policy to provide working capital financing beyond this normal trade credit support.

Occasionally, unique situations develop in which some form of short or intermediate assistance, which goes beyond normal trade credit support, may be required or desirable. Examples of this could be:

1.	Assisting a distressed customer in the rehabilitation of their business when traditional lenders may be unwilling to increase or restructure their loans and support by the Company would enhance our ability to assure recovery of the existing accounts receivable investment due from that customer.

2.	As part of a program to return a customer to a discount basis of payment resulting eventually in improved turnover and thus less exposure with the account.

3.	Meeting competitive industry programs of short-term financing when availability of such financial assistance is necessary to enable the operation to meet its sales and profit goals.

Note: In all situations, we are referring to financing existing or future account balances. This policy does not provide for advances of cash or other forms of financial assistance.

Procedures:

Approval

Schedule I-6

The request for financial assistance should be directed to the appropriate CFS Manager. The CFS Manager may reject the request if it is inappropriate or does not meet the criteria for such assistance. If, however, the manager believes there may be merit to the request, he will advise the General Sales Manager that such a request is pending.

The CFS Manager will conduct an analysis of the credit which may include all or some of the following:

Financial analysis based upon last FYE and current interim financials which demonstrate the need for special assistance. In no case will assistance be provided without up-to-date and adequate financial data and the analysis based upon that data.

A cash forecast by month which shows how the notes will be repaid.

A current bank reference which confirms that the need for special assistance cannot or will not be met by traditional financing.

An aging of Accounts Payable — Are other suppliers being requested to help or will they benefit from our support?

Availability of security, guarantees, etc.

The CFS Manager will confer with Sales on the desirability of providing the assistance.

B.	Documentation of Terms

Special financial assistance shall ordinarily be evidenced by a note or series of notes properly endorsed. In addition, in some situations it may be desirable to obtain a second endorsement of an individual or another corporation.

As a general rule, regular payments of principal and interest shall be required, at least monthly, and serial notes utilized which permit acceleration of payment of the total principal amount if payments of an installment are not made on time. Large balloon payments should be avoided since they carry with them the pressure to refinance beyond the intended period.

As a general rule, the interest rate charged shall be the rate at which the customer could or is borrowing from traditional sources, but attempts may be made to require a slightly higher rate such that the customer prefers to pay ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ before other lenders or potential lenders.

Loan arrangements may be appropriate for assistance which will be outstanding for longer than six months. The covenants contained in such an agreement will vary with the situation but provide reasonable assurance that conditions before and after the agreement will be met. These loan agreements are established and written with the advice of legal counsel. See Exhibit C for a sample loan agreement.

C.	Processing Notes Receivable

1. At the time the note is received, it is entered into SAP as a notes receivable.

Schedule I-7

All notes and originals of loan agreements will be kept in a safe; however, a copy of the loan agreement should be in the case file to follow up for compliance with covenants and payments of principal and interest.

It shall be the responsibility of the Manager to see that the provisions on all notes are being observed.

Guarantees, Security Interests in Assets, and Letters of Credit

When an account cannot support adequate open account credit based on its own financial strength, it may be necessary to obtain some form of security to support the risk.

The security can take many forms but will fall into two categories:

•

Ongoing security, which could include:


		1 &		2—Personal or corporate guarantees.
		3 &		4—Standby, irrevocable letter of credit.
				5—A perfected security interest in specific assets of a business or assets of persons affiliated with the customer but outside the business.

•

Specific contracts or individual shipments of material, including:

1—An irrevocable bank letter of credit.

2—A guarantee of the general contractor or owner.

•

Other Arrangements

A.	Ongoing Security

Personal Guarantee

When a customer cannot support adequate open account credit and it is indicated that one or more of the principals of the business have significant personal assets, a personal guarantee should be considered.

In order to determine the value such a guarantee may have, financial information should be obtained from a guarantor before agreeing to extend credit based upon the guarantee.

Usually it is desirable to have more than one guarantor and this could be a spouse of the guarantor or other interested parties.

It should be recognized that the guarantee itself does not provide a justification for open account credit, but lends a moral commitment that the obligations of the customer will be paid. In our experience, unless there is a real willingness to pay, it is very difficult to collect without legal action.

An example of a personal guarantee is shown in Exhibit D.

Schedule I-8

Corporate Guarantee

Usually a corporate guarantee is used when the customer cannot justify the necessary credit on its own but is part of a group of two or more interrelated companies which, when taken as a whole, would support the credit.

Again, as in a personal guarantee, financial information on the guarantor should be requested and reviewed to determine if it will be sufficient to back up the credit before a commitment is made.

A copy of a corporate resolution authorizing the guarantee or a signed statement that those signing the guarantee are authorized to do should be obtained.

See exhibit D-1 for an example of a cross corporate guarantee.

Domestic Irrevocable Bank Letters of Credit

A bank letter of credit is nothing more than a bank assuming responsibility for payment of a customer’s obligations to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇. The bank’s own creditworthiness is substituted for the customer’s creditworthiness.

In a letter of credit transaction, the bank guarantees payment upon presentation of drafts drawn on the bank in accordance with the terms and conditions of the letter of credit. All terms and conditions of the letter of credit must be complied with precisely; if not, non-compliance nullifies the bank’s obligations under the letter of credit.

Upon receipt of the letter of credit, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ would credit approve the order for shipment, have the invoices come to CFS for preparation of the drafts which would then be mailed to the bank, along with the original letter of credit (a copy being retained in the files), including all necessary documents, and forwarded under a covering letter to the bank requesting that payment be sent by return mail to the appropriate location. If cash discount is involved under the terms of the sale, the discount should be deducted from the face of the invoices, the drafts should be prepared net of appropriate cash discount allowances, and the draft should be forwarded to the bank to reach the bank on or before the discount maturity date. Examples of drafts are shown in Exhibit E.

If partial shipments over a period of time are involved, the letter of credit should contain the stipulation that partial shipments are permitted. Following presentation and payment of drafts for partial shipments, the bank should then return the letter of credit to the supplier for preparation and forwarding the future drafts covering the remainder of the transaction. If numerous drawings for partial shipments will be made, it is acceptable to ask the bank to hold the original letter of credit in their possession for draft presentation from time to time. The drafts must be forwarded to the bank to arrive before the letter of credit expiration date.

In most letter of credit arrangements, the bank will charge an administrative fee for issuing and amending a letter of credit to cover their costs involved in the arrangement. This fee is normally paid by the customer to the issuing bank, although it may be paid by the beneficiary. Any financing fee should be paid by the customer.

An example of a Regular Letter of Credit is shown in Exhibit F.

Schedule I-9

Standby Letter of Credit

This type of letter of credit offers the customer the opportunity to receive invoices in the normal manner, make payment within discount terms, negating the necessity of ever having to draw a draft on the bank. If invoices are not discounted or paid on net terms under the agreement, the supplier may then draw a draft on the bank following the expiration of discount terms and prior to the time invoices mature on net terms for payment directly by the bank upon net maturity.

A standby letter of credit generally covers ongoing transactions, a typical length being that the credit would be available for one year for the full amount of the letter of credit.

An example of a Standby Letter of Credit is shown in Exhibit G.

Pledge of Assets to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇

Taking a security interest in specific assets requires actions to assure compliance with the provisions of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code to confirm a valid call on the assets pledged.

When considering security in assets, research should be conducted to determine if prior filings exist against the pledged assets.

Because state requirements vary, the CFS Manager is responsible for being aware of the requirements as outlined in “The Credit Manual of Commercial Laws.” If the requirements are not clear, they should be reviewed with the Legal Department.

The Manager should refer the matter to the Legal Department for preparation of the documentation (Security Agreement and UCC1 filing) or others as directed by the Legal Department.

CFS is responsible for obtaining the customer’s signature on the security agreement and the UCC1 and, in conjunction with Legal, to take the necessary steps for proper filing which meets the indicated requirements.

A security agreement and UCC1 filing are shown in Exhibits H and I.

At times, an exclusive security interest may not be available, but it may be possible to share priorities in a security interest in assets with a commercial lender. These are called inter-creditor agreements which clearly outline the order of priority between the parties, should it be necessary to liquidate the collateral. Example is shown in Exhibit ▇.

▇. Specific Transaction Security

Irrevocable Bank Letter of Credit

See previous discussion.

Guarantee from a General Contractor Owner

A subcontractor customer may be unable to qualify for the level of credit necessary to purchase materials to complete contracts. If this is the case and the subcontractor has a contract with a credit worthy general contractor, the general contractor may guarantee payment to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ for

Schedule I-10

materials shipped to specific jobs. This, in effect, adds the strength of the general contractor to the subcontractor’s creditworthiness and would allow for the sale of material on credit. This is a stronger form of security than joint check arrangements since the general contractor guarantees payment of material whether or not the contract is performed or completed. A guarantee should always be used where there is a high risk that the subcontractor may not be able to complete the contract. A copy of the standard general contractor guarantee is shown in Exhibit K.

C.	Other Arrangements

Agreement to Make Payment by Joint Check

This is not listed as security simply because it does not mean or add any security to the transaction. The subcontractor can make an arrangement with the person paying him (usually the general contractor) to make a check for the amount of materials payable jointly to the subcontractor and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇. The subcontractor would endorse the check and then turn it over to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ for deposit. While this does not represent hard security, several factors give ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ some advantages:

a. A request by the subcontractor for a joint check payment basis from the general contractor alerts the general contractor that there is some concern on ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ part that the subcontractor may not pay ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ for the material. Because of this, the general contractor, in order to protect himself from subsequent lien and bond claims, will usually be careful to see that the check is made out jointly. Using this arrangement also has the advantage of permitting ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ to go directly to the general contractor if a check is not received to determine when it could be anticipated.

An example of a joint check letter is found in Exhibit L.

Legal/Loss Protection—Contracting

As a supplier to a subcontractor, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ may be accorded one or more forms of legal protection by virtue of both state and federal laws.

A. Liens — A lien is a right to control or enforce a charge against the property of another until a claim is satisfied. A mechanics lien is a special statutory lien on buildings and other improvements to secure payment to suppliers of material, labor, and other items used for that building or improvement.

The mechanics lien laws in different states vary considerably in the following major areas:

1. For whom lien protection is available.

2. The extent of that protection.

3. The method and time limit (including those on which special notice is required in advance of shipment) necessary to obtain protection.

For this reason, when involved in administering contract credit, the manager should be familiar with the NCS Construction Services Group publication “The National Lien Digest” or a similar resource. The information provides specific information by state on additional protection afforded suppliers to contractors (materialman’s liens and bond claims). The manager should seek further interpretation from our Legal Department or local lawyer should questions arise regarding what actions are necessary.

Schedule I-11

In those states where a pre-notice is required in advance of shipment and it is determined that it is necessary to do so, filing of such notice could have a major impact on the subcontractor’s standing with the general contractor and thus the subcontractor should be advised that we are going to take such action.

Release or Waiver of Lien — Because of the threat of action under the lien laws, the general contractor in many cases will request the subcontractor to provide a release of lien from his suppliers prior to paying the subcontractor for the work performed. On large contracts, it is quite common to receive requests for partial waiver of liens while the job is in progress. In both cases, we should carefully check that the material invoices have been paid; and in a partial release of lien, we should be very careful that the release applies to shipments only prior to the date of the oldest invoice open. Examples of both a release of lien and a partial release of lien are shown in Exhibits M and ▇.

▇▇▇▇ Waivers may be signed according to the following authorizations:

▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇

▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇

Payment Bonds — The federal government and most state governments require that contractors provide payment bonds on at least some types of public construction. On bonded work, if the general contractor does not make payment to the subcontractor, or if a material supplier to a subcontractor does not receive payment, they can look to a third party, the surety, for their money. As with lien protection, requirements may vary and they should be established before they are needed if the situation is high risk. The “Credit Manual of Commercial Laws” is a good reference for state and federal bond requirements. If there is any question, the manager should request a copy of the bond for review by our Legal Department or, on their advice, by a local attorney.

If, after complying with the preliminary requirements, suit must be brought under the bond, there are also time and procedure requirements for this. Bonds are being required by owners of many private jobs today. Some of these bonds might follow the statutory provisions in the state, while others may not. If there is any question, it would be good to obtain a copy of the bond and have our Legal Department review it.

Suspense Accounts

A suspense account is any account which has been placed for collection, gone bankrupt, entered Receivership, entered negotiation with an informal creditors’ committee, or has otherwise been placed in a position where it has been determined that regular collection activities will no longer produce results.

Schedule I-12

The responsibility for the control of suspense accounts will rest with CFS managers and assistant managers for each of the business units.

A.	Accounts placed with collection agencies or directly with an outside attorney:

The CFS Manager or Assistant Manager recommends the action that should be taken and approves the assignment of a collection agency. Most accounts will normally be placed for collection with agencies under a free demand service. Ordinarily, the debtor is given ten days notice and, if payment is received in that time, there will be no collection fees.

If a decision has been made by a CFS manager that an outside attorney be appointed, instead of an agency, the case will be discussed with our Legal Department, and they should assist CFS in assigning the appropriate outside attorney and negotiate fees for services to be performed. In those cases where we are utilizing an outside attorney, the case becomes the responsibility of the CFS manager or assistant manager, who will be responsible for the appropriate follow-up with the Legal Department and the outside attorney on the progress of the case.

In those cases where there is a strong probability that the case will go to trial and involve the expense of providing witnesses, or if the possibility of a countersuit exists, the case should be reviewed with the appropriate Sales Manager before authorizing suit.

CFS has the responsibility of notifying the sales representatives that third party action has been initiated. Further, they should be advised that, if they are contacted by a suspense account, they should indicate that it is out of their hands and the account should respond to either the agency or the attorney. At the same time, the sales representative should notify CFS of the contact.

B.	Accounts which have entered into bankruptcy proceedings:

When confirmation has been received that an account has entered bankruptcy proceedings, the CFS manager or assistant manager should review the case and determine:

Should a reclamation petition be filed?

The possibility of a preference action being filed against ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.

The advisability of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ participating in the activities of a formal creditors’ committee.

In the case of Bankrupt Common Carriers, see E.

As soon as adequate information if available on the bankruptcy corporation, the manager or assistant manager, should determine the desirability and/or probability of supplying goods, usually on a cash-in advance, good-funds basis, and prepare a recommendation for Marketing’s consideration. In some cases, it may be reasonable to provide goods on open account credit with the major test being whether or not there are sufficient funds available to pay administrative claims in full.

C.	Processing and control of suspense cases:

Follow-up will then be the responsibility of the CFS manager or assistant manager. It is their responsibility to make sure Proofs of Claim are filed prior to bankruptcy bar date deadlines.

D.	Payments received on active suspense accounts:

Schedule I-13

If a check is received within the 10-day free demand period, no fee is charged.

Therefore, when a check is received directly from an account placed for collection, it should be immediately turned over to the CFS manager or assistant manager,

who will notify the agency of payment.

If a payment is made directly but not until after the free demand period has expired, the agency will ▇▇▇▇ for its services after it is advised of collection. The payment should be referred to the CFS manager or assistant manager, who will report the payment to the agency. The case should be kept active until a ▇▇▇▇ is received and verified.

The following steps should be taken with various payments received:

If the payment in full reflects a deduction for collection expense, an appropriate accounting entries should be made, crediting accounts receivable, debiting cash, and debiting collection expense.

Partial payment — same as number one. If indicated as a final payment, review with the CFS manager for authorization to write off the balance to worthless trade. Prepare accounting entries to credit accounts receivable and debit worthless trade accounts and the appropriate collection expense.

Partial write-downs — after approval by the CFS manager, prepare an accounting entry to credit accounts receivable and debit worthless trade. The account will not be closed until the final payment is received.

Final payment or write-off—same as number three. Account should be closed.

Payments received on accounts already written off to worthless trade – prepare an accounting entry debiting cash and crediting recovery to worthless trade.

Accounting entry distribution and retention—after completing the accounting entries for write-off to worthless trade, distribute copies to the business unit manager, finance manager, and a copy should be filed in the account file.

The account file should be stored with all other business unit Worthless Trade Account write-offs and retained until Tax Department releases the specific year of write-off as no longer needed and required for IRS audits.

E.	Claims Due From Bankrupt Carriers:

1. Upon notification of a bankruptcy, a review should be made by Transportation of all claims filed against the carrier. If there are claims which have not yet been filed on shipments which originated prior to the date of the bankruptcy, these claims should be filed immediately. Transportation will then file the proof of claim, maintain all the bankruptcy documentation, and advise CFS when to write off any uncollected balances to bad debt expense.

Schedule I-14

Reserve for Worthless Trade Accounts

It is Company policy to provide for a reserve for worthless trade accounts when in the opinion of CFS, a potential full or partial loss can be identified. Also, a reserve may be created when a decision is made in conjunction with Marketing to continue to sell an account with a high risk of potential loss and when that potential loss will reach or exceed low six figures ($100,000).

A.	The reserve accounts fall into two categories:

General Reserves:

A general reserve provision is determined by previous bad debt experience, factoring in economic and customer risk, and applied against the business moving forward (i.e. % of sales, % of a/r, actual customer risk $’s). The general reserve is calculated after deducting for the specific reserve.

Specific Reserves:

A specific reserve is established when an outstanding receivable exists and the customer’s payments have ceased due to insolvency or legal dispute. The reserve is determined by evaluating the collectability of the individual debtor’s outstanding receivable. The specific reserve is should be established using management’s best discretion and modified as more information on the financial condition of the debtor or outcome becomes available.

CFS management is to calculate the Bad Debt Reserve estimate each month. The actual Worthless Accounts Reserves (account 21217) are to remain within $50,000 of the CFS Bad Debt Reserve recommendation.

CFS will provide recommended reserve requirements to the Operations Controllers quarterly (at a minimum) in order to more accurately reflect the current cost of selling high-risk accounts. The report is submitted on the “Losses & Reserve Changes” form (Exhibit O) and represents activity year to date and a recommended reserve level for year-end.

CFS also provides an estimate of worthless trade activity for annual budgeting purposes. Projecting required reserves (to cover recognized risks) out to the end of the budget year is difficult at best because of the changes occurring in the accounts, the economy, etc. For this reason, we adopted the quarterly program (B above) to update required reserves to more accurately reflect the cost of selling high-risk accounts. Therefore, it should be kept in mind that the reserve amount actually required by year end of the budget year may differ significantly from the estimate supplied for budget purposes.

Charges to Worthless Trade

A.	Write-Off Justification

Under the specific charge-off method of deducting bad debts, the sole tests are worthlessness during the taxable year, and the fact that such debts are actually business bad debts either at the time they arose or at the time worthlessness occurs.

Whether a debt actually has become worthless in whole or in part is a question of fact. The deduction must be taken in the taxable year in which a debt becomes wholly worthless, not in a later year.

If a business debt does not become wholly worthless but is uncollectible in part, the law allows a partial deduction. It does not have to be taken in the year in which the debt becomes partially worthless but can be taken in a later year.

Schedule I-15

In either event, the taxpayer carries the burden of proof; he must establish to the satisfaction of the Revenue Service (or the court if the case goes to litigation) that each claimed bad debt is worthless, that it became worthless during the taxable year, and that it is a business bad debt. Among the many decisions involving the worthlessness of debts, these conditions have been held to establish a bad debt deduction:

Bankruptcy of debtor.

Collateral worthless.

Debtor out of business.

Debtor without assets.

Disappearance of debtor.

Insolvency of debtor.

Ill health of debtor.

Receivership of debtor.

In most cases, however, these conditions are not, alone, sufficient to establish a bad debt deduction. Thus, even though the debtor is bankrupt, the deduction will be disallowed if it is evident that some dividend may be paid to creditors, but a deduction for partial worthlessness may be in order.

It is not required that a suit at law be brought on an account which is already worthless in order to obtain a tax deduction. If it appears that the costs of collection would exceed the debt, or that a judgment would not be satisfied, it is not necessary to waste further time and money. The basis for this decision should be carefully documented.

B.	Documentation

In building up a record to establish a bad debt deduction, all records or evidence establishing the validity and character of the debt should be maintained. This would include a print-out of open items, as well as invoices and notes. It will not be necessary to keep the invoices in the case so long as they can be obtained through microfiche or SAP.

The file should also disclose the collection record. Copies of correspondence with the debtor, notations of phone calls or interviews, financial statements of the debtor, and other data showing efforts to collect and why the debtor doesn’t pay should be carefully prepared and preserved.

If the account is turned over to an attorney or collection agency, and should it appear to be a bad debt situation, prior to the end of the taxable year, the attorney or agency should be asked for a written opinion as to whether the particular account in his possession has become worthless.

If the charge-off results from a series of involved transactions, a brief outline should be prepared summarizing the situations leading to the write-off so that it can be understandable three or four years later when the Internal Revenue Service may wish to review it.

In the case of bankruptcies or liquidation proceedings, an effort should be made at that time to obtain a copy of the debtor’s financial statement or the schedule of assets and liabilities prepared by the debtor or trustee and filed with the proceedings. This might serve to establish partial worthlessness.

When charging off a bad debt which includes state sales tax, consult the Tax Department to see if the sales tax can be recovered by charging it back to the particular state. This is permissible in some states.

Schedule I-16

C.	Procedures

The Manager will evaluate the worth of a questionable account any time it appears a charge-off might be in order. Charge-offs will be made based on a judgment of value as outlined in Section A.

As mentioned earlier, documentation of the basis for the decision should be as complete as possible, but lack of documentation will not preclude taking a write-off.

If there is doubt concerning the documentation supporting the write-off, the CFS manager will review with the tax department and obtain their authorization to write off.

Write-offs which are not used in the computation of the Bad Debt Reserve for tax purposes may be used in a subsequent year when adequate documentation of worthlessness is ascertained.

Accounting for Worthless Accounts Receivable

(See exhibit P)

Remittance Processing Guidelines

The Customer Financial Services Department is responsible for limited approval or disapproval of deductions or discrepancies on the customer’s check.

In performing that function, a degree of responsibility has been delegated to the remittance processor; and the policy guidelines under which they perform their responsibilities are outlined below:


		Cash Discount		All cash discount discrepancies 10% of the invoices being paid for a total of not more than $50 may be adjusted to cash discount by the remittance processor.

				Cash discount deductions are acceptable if a check is received at the lockbox not more than 10 days (5 days for distributors and zero days for floor distributors) after discount maturity unless the 10th (or 5^th) day falls on a legal holiday or weekend, in which case, discount will be allowed if the check is received on the 1st working day thereafter.

		Arithmetic Errors		May be adjusted in cash discount provided that such adjustments do not exceed 10% of the invoices being paid for a total of not more than $50.

		Other Discrepancies		The remittance processor has been authorized by sales policy to adjust without verification all of the discrepancies provided that such adjustments do not exceed 10% of the invoices being paid for a total of not more than $100 for commercial distributors and contractors and $15 for retail and sundries customers.

				Such adjustments are made to the appropriate codes. Two or more checks received in a lockbox on the same date shall be considered one remittance.

Schedule I-17



		Differences Not Provided For		Any discrepancies that exceed the limits outlined above will normally be generated on a Write-up Form and referred to CFS for handling.

Adjustment of Cash Discount Involving Net Credits

1.	When a customer pays an invoice on a net basis and we later issue a credit, the credit would automatically be issued less cash discount in accordance with company policy. It is then necessary to reinstate the discount on the credit so that the customer would be reimbursed in full.

2.	Similarly, when a credit is issued to cancel a complete, unpaid invoice, discount must be manually added back to the credit memo.

3.	Finally, when a credit is issued against a deduction, the discount taken off the credit must be properly adjusted in accordance with how the original payment was handled.

Retention of Records

A.	General Principles

As a general rule, retention of records in CFS follows the guidelines established by Corporate.

“1.

Records must be retained long enough to meet legal, tax law, and accounting requirements.

“2.

Records should be retained as long as needed for the efficient operation of the Company but not past the time when the worth of the record can no longer justify the expense of storing and maintaining it.”

In addition, because of the importance of continuity in understanding the relationship with our customers, specific policies are established for retention of information in the CFS “Credit Files.”

B.	Credit File Retention of Records Guidelines

The Credit File should contain all information which is necessary when establishing/maintaining a line of credit for a customer. Because of space limitations and filing time requirements, every effort must be made to retain only those items of information that are necessary.

The following retention schedule should be followed for active customers’ credit files, unless there is an over-riding reason to retain additional material. An “active customer” is defined as an account on which there has been some activity within the last three years.

Dun & Bradstreet Reports — Retain the initial base report and the current report.

Financial Information — one year and current. This includes either financial statements or three years of financial data on D&B reports.

Trade Clearances from Industry Credit Groups — one year.

Schedule I-18

Worthless Trade Documentation — As advised by the Tax Department, this material may be discarded following completion of the IRS audit of the year the account was written off.

Special Data — This should be limited to spread sheets and case file memos or correspondence which contains data significant to the clear understanding of the account relationship. In this latter area, the manager will be expected to control the amount of information it’s necessary to retain.

All CFS staff members should make an effort to purge the files in accordance with the guidelines. On any question whether to retain information not on the retention schedule, the file shall be referred to the Manager for a decision.

With the implementation of our Comprehensive Credit Expert System (CCEx), certain information (e.g. financial statements) may be stored cost effectively for much longer periods of time. The information is entered and stored electronically in a data file residing on a personal computer. Provided the accumulated information does not materially affect the speed with which tasks may be run on the data file, aging information need not be discarded.

Confidentiality of Information

Due to the nature of its activities, CFS acquires and stores certain types of sensitive information on ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’▇ customers. All CFS staff members must acknowledge their important stewardship of such information and appreciate the trust customers place in CFS to keep this information confidential. It is only through such trust that our customers continue providing the information vital to our credit management efforts.

Two types of information warrant specific mention:

A.	Financial Information

The details of our customer’s financial statements are not to leave the confines of Finance, or CFS if communicated. Discussion of a customer’s financial position or performance with sales management is acceptable provided it is descriptive and does not include specifics.

B.	Credit Reference Information

Reference information obtained from other suppliers must be used only for credit purposes and is not to be divulged to sales or sales management.

Financial Surveys

CFS uses E Credit nFusion software to assist in the financial analysis of our customers and to compile financial information provided by our customers into an industry average. These results are then distributed to our customers that provided us with financials.

The system assists in the following:

Calculates key ratios

Provides trend data from year to year in a systematic manner.

Schedule I-19

Provides us with a tool to obtain a verbal and graphic financial analysis of each customer that shares their financial statements.

Compiles the information into an industry average that CFS and our customers can use for benchmarking purposes.

Setting up New Customers

When setting up a new customer, the following information is solicited and all information retained is reviewed to determine credit lines:

A completed credit application.

A financial statement including a balance sheet and income statement (dependent on amount of credit to be extended).

A tax exempt certificate if applicable.

Responses from Credit references.

Customer or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Contracts and Agreements

Some privately held customers simply refuse to provide financials. The requirement for financial statements may be waived if we have limited credit exposure.

Once an account is thoroughly investigated and credit approved, CFS works with COS to create a customer master. CFS is responsible for creating the Credit Management in SAP.

Direct ▇▇▇▇ Accounts

We are sometimes asked to sell to the end user for tax exempt purposes. If that request is made, the following requirements apply:

1.	The order should have a minimum value of $10,000 due to the administrative effort involved.

2.	A letter must be provided outlining both the reason for the request as well as a statement asking ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ to sell directly to the third party. Also include the billing address for mailing of the original invoices.

3.	The full legal name and address of the third party must be provided as well as a copy of their tax exempt certificate if the job is to be billed tax-exempt.

A purchase order from the third party itemizing each item and amount to be ordered by the third party. Only the items listed on that purchase order can be approved for shipment. In the event that additional materials are required, an additional purchase order will be needed to credit approve the order. This purchase order must then be initialed or signed by the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ sales representative so that we are certain that the prices were agreed upon by all parties.

5.	A cross corporate guarantee will need to be signed on behalf of the third party. The guarantee form will be provided by Customer Financial Services and states that our regular customer accepts

Schedule I-20

ultimate responsibility for the payment of materials shipped to the third party. CFS will not make a credit search on this third party. If the third party is a government agency, this cross corporate guarantee is not necessary.

6.	All orders are to be placed under the third party’s name.
