PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS
This Agreement amends and restates in its entirety that certain
Credit and Security Agreement,
dated as of March 7, 2003 (as amended supplemented and otherwise modified to the date hereof), by
and among the Borrower, Allied, the Conduit Lenders, the Liquidity Banks, the Lender Group Agents,
VFCC and Wachovia Bank, as agent for the Lender Group, and
Borrower desires to borrow from the Lenders from time to time.
Each Conduit may, in its absolute and sole discretion, make Advances to Borrower from time to
time.
In the event that a Conduit declines to make any Advance, the Liquidity Banks that are members
of the related Lender Group shall, at the request of Borrower, make Advances from time to time.
Wachovia Bank, National Association has been requested and is willing to act as Agent on
behalf of the Lenders in accordance with the terms hereof.
Article I
The Advances
Section 1.1 Credit Facility.
(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, from time to time prior to the
Facility Termination Date:
(i) Borrower may, at its option, request Advances from the Lenders in an aggregate
principal amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed the lesser of the Aggregate
Commitment and the Borrowing Base (such lesser amount, the “Borrowing Limit”);
(ii) subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Lender Group shall
make available Loans in an amount equal to the lesser of such Lender Group’s Lender Group
Limit and its Lender Group Share of the Advance requested, as provided for herein; and
(iii) any Conduit may, at its option, make available its Lender Group Share of the
requested Advance, or if any Conduit shall decline to make available its Lender Group Share
of any Advance requested prior to the Commitment Termination Date, except as otherwise
provided in Section 1.2, the Liquidity Banks that are members of the related Lender
Group severally agree to make Loans in an amount equal to the lesser of such Lender Group’s
Lender Group Limit and the related Lender Group Share of the requested Advance, it being
understood that no Liquidity Bank shall have any obligation to make any Loan after the
Commitment Termination Date.
Each of the Advances, and all other Obligations, shall be secured by the Collateral as
provided in Article XIII. It is the intent of each Conduit to fund its Lender Group Share
of all Advances by the issuance of Commercial Paper.
(b) Borrower may, upon at least 30 days’ notice to the Agent, terminate in whole or reduce in
part, ratably among the Lender Groups, the unused portion of the Aggregate Commitment of the
Liquidity Banks; provided that each partial reduction of the Aggregate Commitment shall be
in an amount equal to at least $10,000,000 (or a larger integral multiple of $1,000,000 if in
excess thereof). Each such reduction shall reduce the Commitments of the Liquidity Banks of each
Lender Group ratably among such Liquidity Banks in such Lender Group.
2
Section 1.2 Increases.
Borrower shall provide the Agent and each Lender Group Agent with at least two (2) Business
Days’ prior notice in a form set forth as Exhibit II hereto of each Advance (each, a
“Borrowing Notice”). Each Borrowing Notice shall be subject to Section 6.2 hereof
and shall be irrevocable and shall specify the requested increase in Aggregate Principal (which
shall not be less than $1,000,000 or a larger integral multiple of $100,000) and the Borrowing Date
(which, in the case of any Advance after the initial Advance hereunder, shall only be on a
Settlement Date) and, in the case of an Advance requested on or before the Commitment Termination
Date and to be funded by the Liquidity Banks, the requested Interest Rate and Interest Period.
Following receipt of a Borrowing Notice, each Lender Group Agent will determine whether related
Conduit will make available such Lender Group’s Lender Group Share of the requested Advance. If
any Conduit or the related Lender Group Agent determines that such Conduit will not make available
the related Lender Group’s Lender Group Share of a proposed Advance, then such Lender Group’s
Lender Group Share of a proposed Advance will be made by the related Liquidity Banks and such Loan
will accrue CP Costs for the period from the date such Loan is made to the end to the then current
Settlement Period. On the date of each Advance, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions
precedent set forth in Article VI, each Conduit or the related Liquidity Banks (with
respect to Advances requested on or before the Commitment Termination Date), as applicable, shall
wire transfer, or cause to be wire transferred, immediately available funds to the Facility Account
in an amount equal to (a) in the case of a Conduit, its Lender Group Share of the principal amount
of the requested Advance or (b) in the case of a Liquidity Bank, such Liquidity Bank’s Pro Rata
Share of its Lender Group Share of the principal amount of the requested Advance.
Section 1.3 Decreases.
Except as provided in Section 1.4, Borrower shall provide the Agent with prior written
notice in conformity with the Required Notice Period and in a form set forth as Exhibit
XIII hereto (a “Reduction Notice”) of any proposed reduction of Aggregate Principal.
Such Reduction Notice shall designate (a) the date (the “Proposed Reduction Date”) upon
which any such reduction of Aggregate Principal shall occur (which date shall give effect to the
applicable Required Notice Period) and (b) the amount of Aggregate Principal to be reduced (the
“Aggregate Reduction”), which shall be applied ratably among all Lender Groups and, within
each Lender Group, to the Loans specified by Borrower in the Reduction Notice, or if no Loans are
so specified, ratably to the Loans of the related Conduit and the Liquidity Banks. Only one (1)
Reduction Notice shall be outstanding at any time.
Section 1.4 Deemed Collections; Borrowing Limit.
(a) If on any day:
(i) the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable is reduced as a result of any defective
or rejected goods or services, any cash discount or any other adjustment by any Originator
or any Affiliate thereof, or as a result of any tariff or other governmental or regulatory
action, or
3
(ii) the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable is reduced or canceled as a result of a
setoff in respect of any claim by the Obligor thereof (whether such claim arises out of the
same or a related or an unrelated transaction), or
(iii) the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable is reduced on account of the obligation
of any Originator or any Affiliate thereof to pay to the related Obligor any rebate or
refund, or
(iv) the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable is less than the amount included in
calculating the Net Pool Balance for purposes of any Monthly Report (for any reason other
than such Receivable becoming a Defaulted Receivable), or
(v) any of the representations or warranties of Borrower set forth in Section
5.1(i), (j), (r), (s), (t) or (u) were not true
when made with respect to any Receivable,
then, on such day, Borrower shall be deemed to have received a Collection of such Receivable (A) in
the case of clauses (i) — (iv) above, in the amount of such reduction or cancellation or
the difference between the actual Outstanding Balance and the amount included in calculating such
Net Pool Balance, as applicable; and (B) in the case of clause (v) above, in the amount of
the Outstanding Balance of such Receivable; provided, however, that in any such case, (1)
provided that no Amortization Event has occurred, if after giving effect to a reduction in the
Outstanding Balances of all affected Receivables in the amounts described in clauses (A)
and (B) of this Section 1.4(a), a Borrowing Base Deficiency exists, Borrower shall
immediately pay to each Lender Group Agent, in accordance with Section 1.4(b), an amount
necessary to cure such Borrowing Base Deficiency or (2) if an Amortization Event has occurred,
Borrower shall pay to the Collection Account, in immediately available funds, the amounts specified
in clauses (A) or (B) of this Section 1.4(a), as applicable on the Business
Day that Borrower or the Servicer becomes aware such breach exists.
If, in accordance with clause (B) of Section 1.4(a), Borrower deposits or
caused to be deposited in a Collection Account the Outstanding Balance of a Receivable, then, on
the next Settlement Date, upon receipt by the Agent and each Lender Group Agent of a Monthly Report
identifying such Receivable and the Outstanding Balance thereof, the Agent on behalf of the Secured
Parties shall release its security interest in such Receivable and the Related Security and
Collections (other than the related Deemed Collection) with respect thereto without any further
action required on the part of Borrower, the Agent or the Secured Parties.
(b) Borrower shall ensure that the Aggregate Principal at no time exceeds the Borrowing Limit.
If at any time a Borrowing Base Deficiency exists, then Borrower shall immediately pay to each
Lender Group Agent, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to such Lender Group Share of
the amount necessary to reduce the Aggregate Principal, such that after giving effect to such
payment the Aggregate Principal is less than or equal to the Borrowing Limit. Upon receipt of such
funds, each Lender Group Agent shall apply such funds to the Loans specified by Borrower in writing
to each Lender Group Agent, or if no Loans are so specified, ratably to the Loans of the related
Conduit and the Liquidity Banks, such that after
4
giving effect to such payment the related Lender
Group Principal is less than or equal to the Lender Group Limit.
Section 1.5 Payment Requirements.
All amounts to be paid or deposited by any Loan Party pursuant to any provision of this
Agreement shall be paid or deposited in accordance with the terms hereof no later than 1:30 p.m.
(
New York City time) on the day when due in immediately available funds, and if not received by
1:30 p.m. (
New York City time) shall be deemed to be received on the next succeeding Business Day.
If such amounts are payable to a Lender Group they shall be paid to the related Lender Group
Agent’s Account, for the account of such Lender Group, until otherwise notified by the applicable
Lender Group Agent. Upon notice to Borrower, the Agent may debit the Facility Account for all
amounts due and payable hereunder. All computations of CP Costs, Interest, per annum fees
calculated as part of any CP Costs, per annum fees hereunder and per annum fees under each Fee
Letter shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days elapsed.
Unless otherwise provided for herein, if any amount hereunder shall be payable on a day which is
not a Business Day, such amount shall be payable on the next succeeding Business Day.
Section 1.6 Ratable Loans; Funding Mechanics; Liquidity Fundings.
(a) Each Advance hereunder shall consist of one or more Loans made by each Lender Group and,
within each Lender Group, by the related Conduit and/or the related Liquidity Banks.
(b) Each Lender funding any Loan shall transfer the principal amount of its Loan to its Lender
Group Agent on the applicable Borrowing Date and each Lender Group Agent, subject to its receipt of
such Loan proceeds, shall transfer such funds to the Facility Account on such Borrowing Date.
(c) While it is the intent of each Conduit to fund the related Lender Group Share of each
requested Advance through the issuance of its Commercial Paper, the parties acknowledge that if any
Conduit is unable, or such Conduit or the related Lender Group Agent determines that it is
undesirable, to issue Commercial Paper to fund all or any portion of its Lender Group Share of
Loans, or is unable to repay such Commercial Paper upon the maturity thereof, such Conduit may put
all or any portion of its Loans (including any requested Advance) to the Liquidity Banks for the
related Lender Group at any time pursuant to the Liquidity Agreement for such Lender Group to
finance or refinance any portion or all of its Lender Group Share of Loans through a Liquidity
Funding to the extent available. The Liquidity Fundings may be Alternate Base Rate Loans or LIBO
Rate Loans, or a combination thereof, selected by Borrower in accordance with Article IV,
provided, however, that if a Conduit puts all or any portion of its Loans to the related
Liquidity Banks for the purpose of funding a Borrowing Request, then such Loan will accrue CP Costs
for the period from the date such Liquidity Funding is made to the end to the then current
Settlement Period. Regardless of whether a Liquidity Funding constitutes the direct funding of a
Loan, an assignment of a Loan made by the related Conduit or the sale of one or more participations
in a Loan made by the related Conduit, each Liquidity Bank participating in a Liquidity Funding
shall have the rights of a “Lender” hereunder with the same force and effect as if it had directly
made a Loan to Borrower in the amount of its Liquidity Funding.
5
(d) Nothing herein shall be deemed to commit any Conduit to make Loans.
Article II
Payments and Collections
Section 2.1 Payment Obligations.
Borrower hereby promises to pay the following (collectively, the “Obligations”):
(a) the Aggregate Principal on and after the Facility Termination Date as and when Collections
are received;
(b) the fees set forth in each Fee Letter on the dates specified therein;
(c) all accrued and unpaid Interest on the Alternate Base Rate Loans on each Settlement Date
applicable thereto;
(d) all accrued and unpaid Interest on the LIBO Rate Loans on the last day of each Interest
Period applicable thereto;
(e) all accrued and unpaid CP Costs on the CP Rate Loans on each Settlement Date; and
(f) all Broken Funding Costs and Indemnified Amounts upon demand.
Section 2.2 Collections Prior to Amortization.
(a) Prior to the Facility Termination Date, any Deemed Collections received by the Servicer
and any other Collections received by the Servicer shall be held in trust by the Servicer for the
payment of any accrued and unpaid Obligations or for a Reinvestment as provided in this Section
2.2. If at any time any Collections are received by the Servicer prior to the Facility
Termination Date, Borrower hereby requests, and each Lender, each Lender Group Agent and the Agent
hereby agrees, that simultaneously with such receipt, such funds shall be reinvested by Borrower in
the purchase of additional Eligible Receivables (each, a “Reinvestment”) such that after
giving effect to such Reinvestment, the Aggregate Principal is less than or equal to the Borrowing
Limit.
(b) On each Settlement Date prior to the Facility Termination Date, the Servicer shall remit
to each Lender Group Agent’s Account, for distribution to the Persons specified below, from
Collections received during the related Settlement Period, the following amounts in the order
specified:
first, ratably among each Lender Group in accordance with the Lender Group
Shares, to the payment of all accrued and unpaid CP Costs, Interest and Broken Funding Costs
(if any) of each Lender Group that are then due and owing,
6
second, ratably among each Lender Group in accordance with the Lender Group
Shares, to the payment of all accrued and unpaid fees under each Fee Letter that are then
due and owing,
third, to the accrued and unpaid Servicing Fee,
fourth, if required under Section 1.3 or 1.4, to the ratable
reduction, among each Lender Group in accordance with the Lender Group Shares, of the
Aggregate Principal,
fifth, for the ratable payment, among each Lender Group in accordance with the
Lender Group Shares, of all other unpaid Obligations, if any, that are then due and owing,
and
sixth, the balance, if any, to Borrower or otherwise in accordance with
Borrower’s instructions.
Collections applied to the payment of Obligations shall be distributed to each Lender Group Agent
in accordance with the aforementioned provisions and in accordance with each of the priorities set
forth above in this Section 2.2(a). Upon receipt of any such funds, each Lender Group
Agent shall distribute such funds to the appropriate members of its Lender Group.
Section 2.3 Collections Following Amortization.
On (a) each day on which any of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 6.2 are
not satisfied, (b) the Facility Termination Date and (c) each day thereafter, the Servicer shall
set aside and hold in trust, for the Secured Parties, all Collections received on such day. On and
after the Facility Termination Date, the Servicer shall, on each Settlement Date and on each other
Business Day specified by the Agent (after deduction of any accrued and unpaid Servicing Fee as of

relating to Loans made by any Lender, accrue interest for each day during its Interest Period at
either the LIBO Rate or the Alternate Base Rate in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof.
Subject to the provisions of Section 1.2 and 1.6(c) relating to Loans made by any
Lender, until Borrower gives notice to the Lender Group Agent for each Lender Group of another
Interest Rate in accordance with Section 4.4, the initial Interest Rate for any Loan made

for such Lender Group shall be the Alternate Base Rate (unless the Default Rate is then
applicable).
Section 4.5 Suspension of the LIBO Rate.
(a) If any Liquidity Bank notifies the applicable Lender Group Agent that it has determined
that funding its Pro Rata Share of the Liquidity Fundings for such Lender Group at a LIBO Rate
would violate any applicable law, rule, regulation, or directive of any governmental or regulatory
authority, whether or not having the force of law, or that such LIBO Rate does not accurately
reflect the cost of acquiring or maintaining a Liquidity Funding at such LIBO Rate by such
Liquidity Bank, then such Lender Group Agent shall suspend the availability of such LIBO Rate and
require Borrower to select the Alternate Base Rate for any Liquidity Funding of such Lender Group
accruing Interest at such LIBO Rate.
(b) If less than all of the Liquidity Banks of a Lender Group give a notice to the applicable
Lender Group Agent pursuant to Section 4.5(a), then each Liquidity Bank which gave such a
notice or requested such reimbursement or indemnity shall be obligated, at the request of Borrower

No transfer by any Originator of any Receivable under the Receivables Sale Agreement is or may be
voidable under any section of the Federal Bankruptcy Code.

effective to create, and has created, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the related Obligor
to pay the Outstanding Balance of the Receivable created thereunder and any accrued interest
thereon, enforceable against the Obligor in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement
may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws relating

expenses of two (2) Reviews in any one calendar year and (B) the Agent and the Lender Group Agents
will not request more than four (4) Reviews in any one calendar year.
(e) Keeping and Marking of Records and Books.
(i) The Servicer will (and will cause each Originator to) maintain and implement
administrative and operating procedures (including, without limitation, an ability to
recreate records evidencing Receivables in the event of the destruction of the originals
thereof), and keep and maintain all documents, books, records and other information
reasonably necessary or advisable for the collection of all Receivables (including, without
limitation, records adequate to permit the immediate identification of each new Receivable
and all Collections of and adjustments to each existing Receivable). The Servicer will (and
will cause each Originator to) give the Agent and each Lender Group Agent notice of any
material change in the administrative and operating procedures referred to in the previous
sentence.
(ii) Such Loan Party will (and will cause each Originator to): (A) on or prior to the
date hereof, xxxx its master data processing records and other books and records relating to
the Loans with a legend, acceptable to the Agent, describing the Agent’s security interest
in the Collateral and (B) upon the request of the Agent or any Lender Group Agent after an
Amortization Event, deliver to the Agent all Contracts (including, without limitation, all
multiple originals of any such Contract constituting an instrument, a certificated security
or chattel paper) relating to the Receivables.
(f) Compliance with Contracts and Credit and Collection Policy. Such Loan Party will
(and will cause each Originator to) timely and fully (i) perform and comply with all provisions,
covenants and other promises required to be observed by it under the Contracts related to the
Receivables, and (ii) comply in all respects with the Credit and Collection Policy in regard to
each Receivable and the related Contract; provided, however, any failure to so perform or
comply shall not constitute a breach hereof except to the extent such failure or non-compliance
could be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(g) Performance and Enforcement of Receivables Sale Agreement and other Transaction
Documents. Borrower (i) will perform each of its obligations and undertakings under and
pursuant to the Receivables Sale Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a
party, (ii) will purchase Receivables thereunder in strict compliance with the terms of the
Receivables Sale Agreement, (iii) will promptly enforce the rights and remedies accorded to
Borrower under the Receivables Sale Agreement and (iv) will maintain the effectiveness of, and
continue to perform under the Receivables Sale Agreement and the other Transaction
19
Documents to which it is a party, such that it does not amend, restate, supplement, cancel,
terminate or otherwise modify the Receivables Sale Agreement or any other Transaction Document to
which it is a party, or give any consent, waiver, directive or approval thereunder or waive any
default, action, omission or breach under the Receivables Sale Agreement or any Transaction
Document or otherwise grant any indulgence thereunder, without (in each case) the prior written
consent of the Agent or otherwise as permitted by this Agreement. Borrower will take all actions
necessary to perfect and enforce its rights and interests (and the rights and interests of the
Agent, the Lender Group Agents and the Lenders as assignees of Borrower) under the Receivables Sale
Agreement and as the Agent or any Lender Group Agent may from time to time reasonably request,
including, without limitation, making claims to which it may be entitled under any indemnity,
reimbursement or similar provision contained in the Receivables Sale Agreement.
(h) Ownership. Borrower will take all necessary action to (i) vest legal and
equitable title to the Collateral purchased under the Receivables Sale Agreement irrevocably in
Borrower, free and clear of any Adverse Claims (other than Adverse Claims in favor of the Agent,
for the benefit of the Secured Parties) including, without limitation, the filing of all financing
statements or other similar instruments or documents necessary under the UCC (or any comparable
law) of all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect Borrower’s interest in such Collateral and such
other action to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the interest of Borrower therein as the
Agent or any Lender Group Agent may reasonably request), and (ii) establish and maintain, in favor
of the Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a valid and perfected first priority security
interest in all Collateral, free and clear of any Adverse Claims, including, without limitation,
the filing of all financing statements or other similar instruments or documents necessary under
the UCC (or any comparable law) of all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect the Agent’s (for the
benefit of the Secured Parties) security interest in the Collateral and such other action to
perfect, protect or more fully evidence the interest of the Agent for the benefit of the Secured
Parties as the Agent or any Lender Group Agent may reasonably request.
(i) Lenders’ Reliance. Borrower acknowledges that the Lenders are entering into the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement in reliance upon Borrower’s identity as a legal entity
that is separate from each Originator. Therefore, from and after the date of execution and
delivery of this Agreement, Borrower shall take all reasonable steps, including, without
limitation, all steps that the Agent, any Lender Group Agent or any Lender may from time to time
reasonably request, to maintain Borrower’s identity as a separate legal entity and to make it
manifest to third parties that Borrower is an entity with assets and liabilities distinct from
those of each Originator and any Affiliates thereof (other than Borrower) and not just a division
of any Originator or any such Affiliate. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and in
addition to the other covenants set forth herein, Borrower will:
(i) conduct its own business in its own name and require that all full-time employees
of Borrower, if any, identify themselves as such and not as employees of any Originator
(including, without limitation, by means of providing appropriate employees with business or
identification cards identifying such employees as Borrower’s employees);
20
(ii) compensate all employees, consultants and agents directly, from Borrower’s own
funds, for services provided to Borrower by such employees, consultants and agents and, to
the extent any employee, consultant or agent of Borrower is also an employee, consultant or
agent of any Originator or any Affiliate thereof, allocate the compensation of such
employee, consultant or agent between Borrower and such Originator or such Affiliate, as
applicable, on a basis that reflects the services rendered to Borrower and such Originator
or such Affiliate, as applicable;
(iii) clearly identify its offices (by signage or otherwise) as its offices and, if
such office is located in the offices of any Originator, Borrower shall lease such office at
a fair market rent;
(iv) have a separate telephone number, which will be answered only in its name and
separate stationery and checks in its own name;
(v) conduct all transactions with each Originator and the Servicer (including, without
limitation, any delegation of its obligations hereunder as Servicer) on an arm’s-length
basis, allocate all overhead expenses (including, without limitation, telephone and other
utility charges) for items shared between Borrower and such Originator on the basis of
actual use to the extent practicable and, to the extent such allocation is not practicable,
on a basis reasonably related to actual use;
(vi) at all times have a Board of Directors consisting of at least three members, at
least one member of which is an Independent Director;
(vii) observe all corporate formalities as a distinct entity, and ensure that all
corporate actions relating to (A) the selection, maintenance or replacement of the
Independent Director, (B) the dissolution or liquidation of Borrower or (C) the initiation
of, participation in, acquiescence in or consent to any bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization or similar proceeding involving Borrower, are duly authorized by unanimous
vote of its Board of Directors (including the Independent Director);
(viii) maintain Borrower’s books and records separate from those of each Originator and
any Affiliate thereof and otherwise readily identifiable as its own assets rather than
assets of any Originator or any Affiliate thereof;
(ix) prepare its financial statements separately from those of each Originator and
insure that any consolidated financial statements of any Originator or any Affiliate thereof
that include Borrower and that are filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission or any
other governmental agency have notes clearly stating that Borrower is a separate corporate
entity and that its assets will be available first and foremost to satisfy the claims of the
creditors of Borrower;
(x) except as herein specifically otherwise provided, maintain the funds or other
assets of Borrower separate from, and not commingled with, those of any Originator or any
Affiliate thereof and only maintain bank accounts or other depository accounts to which
Borrower alone is the account party, into which Borrower alone makes
21
deposits and from which Borrower alone (or the Agent hereunder) has the power to make
withdrawals;
(xi) pay all of Borrower’s operating expenses from Borrower’s own assets (except for
certain payments by any Originator or other Persons pursuant to allocation arrangements that
comply with the requirements of this Section 7.1(i));
(xii) operate its business and activities such that: it does not engage in any
business or activity of any kind, or enter into any transaction or indenture, mortgage,
instrument, agreement, contract, lease or other undertaking, other than the transactions as
contemplated and authorized by this Agreement and the Receivables Sale Agreement and its
Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws; and does not create, incur, guarantee, assume or
suffer to exist any indebtedness or other liabilities, whether direct or contingent, other
than (A) as a result of the endorsement of negotiable instruments for deposit or collection
or similar transactions in the ordinary course of business, (B) the incurrence of
obligations under this Agreement, (C) the incurrence of obligations, as expressly
contemplated in the Receivables Sale Agreement, to make payment to the applicable Originator
thereunder for the purchase of Receivables from such Originator under the Receivables Sale
Agreement, and (D) the incurrence of operating expenses in the ordinary course of business
of the type otherwise contemplated by this Agreement;
(xiii) maintain its corporate charter in conformity with this Agreement, such that it
does not amend, restate, supplement or otherwise modify its Certificate of Incorporation or
By-Laws in any respect that would impair its ability to comply with the terms or provisions
of any of the Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, Section 7.1(i)
of this Agreement;
(xiv) [reserved];
(xv) maintain its corporate separateness such that it does not merge or consolidate
with or into, or convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of (whether in one transaction
or in a series of transactions, and except as otherwise contemplated herein) all or
substantially all of its assets (whether now owned or hereafter acquired) to, or acquire all
or substantially all of the assets of, any Person, nor at any time create, have, acquire,
maintain or hold any interest in any Subsidiary.
(xvi) maintain at all times the Required Capital Amount and refrain from making any
dividend, distribution, redemption of capital stock or payment of any subordinated
indebtedness which would cause the Required Capital Amount to cease to be so maintained; and
(xvii) take such other actions as are necessary on its part to ensure that the facts
and assumptions set forth in the opinion issued by Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx, counsel for Borrower,
in connection with the closing or initial Advance under this Agreement and relating to
substantive consolidation issues, and in the certificates accompanying such opinion, remain
true and correct in all material respects at all times.
(j) Collections.
22
(i) Such Loan Party will cause (A) all proceeds from all Lock-Boxes to be directly
deposited by a Collection Bank into a Collection Account and (B) each Lock-Box and
Collection Account to be subject at all times to a Collection Account Agreement that is in
full force and effect. In the event any payments relating to the Collateral are remitted
directly to Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower, Borrower will remit (or will cause all
such payments to be remitted) directly to a Collection Bank and deposited into a Collection
Account within two (2) Business Days following receipt thereof, and, at all times prior to
such remittance, Borrower will itself hold or, if applicable, will cause such payments to be
held in trust for the exclusive benefit of the Agent and the Lenders. Borrower will
maintain exclusive ownership, dominion and control (subject to the terms of this Agreement)
of each Lock-Box and Collection Account and shall not grant the right to take dominion and
control of any Lock-Box or Collection Account at a future time or upon the occurrence of a
future event to any Person, except to the Agent as contemplated by this Agreement.
(ii) Borrower, or Servicer on behalf of Borrower, shall cause evidence to be delivered
to Agent showing that each Lock-Box and each Collection Account is maintained in the name of
Borrower.
(k) Taxes. Such Loan Party will file all tax returns and reports required by law to
be filed by it and will promptly pay all taxes and governmental charges at any time owing, except
any such taxes which are not yet delinquent or are being diligently contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings and for which adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP shall have been set
aside on its books. Borrower will pay when due any taxes payable in connection with the
Receivables, exclusive of taxes on or measured by income or gross receipts of the Agent, any Lender
Group Agent or any Lender.
(l) Payment to Applicable Originator. With respect to any Receivable purchased by
Borrower from any Originator, such sale shall be effected under, and in strict compliance with the
terms of, the Receivables Sale Agreement, including, without limitation, the terms relating to the
amount and timing of payments to be made to such Originator in respect of the purchase price for
such Receivable.
(m) Accuracy of Information. Each Loan Party will cause all information furnished by
such Loan Party or any of its Affiliates to the Agent, any Lender Group Agent or the Lenders for
purposes of or in connection with this Agreement, any of the other Transaction Documents or any
transaction contemplated hereby or thereby to be true and accurate in all material respects on the
date such information is stated or certified and to not contain any material misstatement of fact
or omit to state a material fact or any fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not
misleading.

Standstill Agreement, deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Agent, prior to the execution of
the Standstill Agreement, a final draft of the Standstill Agreement at least three (3) Business

request modifications and other changes to the final execution copy of the Standstill Agreement for
the purpose of conforming such copy to the substance of Section 9.16 of the Senior Credit Agreement
23
(notwithstanding the definition of Senior Credit Agreement, as such Senior Credit Agreement

(c) Modifications to Contracts and Credit and Collection Policy. Except in compliance
with the provisions of Section 7.1(a)(vii), such Loan Party will not make any change to the

Article VIII
Administration and Collection
Section 8.1 Designation of Servicer.
(a) The servicing, administration and collection of the Receivables shall be conducted by such
Person (the “Servicer”) so designated from time to time in accordance with this Section
8.1. Allied is hereby designated as, and hereby agrees to perform the duties and obligations
of, the Servicer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The Agent may, at any time from and
after the occurrence of an Amortization Event, designate as Servicer any Person to succeed Allied
or any successor Servicer provided that the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied.
(b) Allied may delegate to the Originators, as sub-servicers of the Servicer, certain of its
duties and responsibilities as Servicer hereunder in respect of the Receivables originated by such
Originator. Without the prior written consent of the Agent and the Required Liquidity Banks,
Allied shall not be permitted to delegate any of its duties or responsibilities as Servicer to any
Person other than (i) Borrower, (ii) the Originators, and (iii) with respect to certain Defaulted
Receivables, outside collection agencies in accordance with its customary practices. Neither
25
Borrower nor any Originator shall be permitted to further delegate to any other Person any of
the duties or responsibilities of the Servicer delegated to it by Allied. If at any time the Agent
shall designate as Servicer any Person other than Allied, all duties and responsibilities
theretofore delegated by Allied to Borrower or the Originators may, at the discretion of the Agent,
be terminated forthwith on notice given by the Agent to Allied and to Borrower and the Originators.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing subsection (b), for so long as Allied is the
Servicer: (i) Allied shall be and remain primarily liable to the parties hereto for the full and
prompt performance of all duties and responsibilities of the Servicer hereunder and (ii) each of
the parties hereto shall be entitled to deal exclusively with Allied in matters relating to the
discharge by the Servicer of its duties and responsibilities hereunder. For so long as Allied is
the Servicer, no party hereto shall be required to give notice, demand or other communication to
any Person other than Allied in order for communication to the Servicer and its sub-servicer or
other delegate with respect thereto to be accomplished. Allied, at all times that it is the
Servicer, shall be responsible for providing any sub-servicer or other delegate of the Servicer
with any notice given to the Servicer under this Agreement.
Section 8.2 Duties of Servicer.
(a) The Servicer shall take or cause to be taken all such actions as may be necessary or
advisable to collect each Receivable from time to time, all in accordance with applicable laws,
rules and regulations, with reasonable care and diligence, and in accordance with the Credit and
Collection Policy.
(b) The Servicer will instruct all Obligors to pay all Collections directly to a Lock-Box or
Collection Account. The Servicer shall effect a Collection Account Agreement substantially in the
form of Exhibit VI with each bank party to a Collection Account at any time. In the case
of any remittances received in any Lock-Box or Collection Account that shall have been identified,
to the satisfaction of the Servicer, to not constitute Collections or other proceeds of the
Receivables or the Related Security, the Servicer shall promptly remit such items to the Person
identified to it as being the owner of such remittances. From and after the date the Agent
delivers to any Collection Bank a Collection Notice pursuant to Section 8.3, the Agent may
request that the Servicer, and the Servicer thereupon promptly shall instruct all Obligors with
respect to the Receivables, to remit all payments thereon to a new depositary account specified by
the Agent and, at all times thereafter, Borrower and the Servicer shall not deposit or otherwise
credit, and shall not permit any other Person to deposit or otherwise credit to such new depositary
account any cash or payment item other than Collections.
(c) The Servicer shall administer the Collections in accordance with the procedures described
herein and in Article II. The Servicer shall, upon the request of the Agent, segregate, in
a manner acceptable to the Agent, all cash, checks and other instruments received by it from time
to time constituting Collections from the general funds of the Servicer or Borrower prior to the
remittance thereof in accordance with Article II. If the Servicer shall be required to
segregate Collections pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Servicer shall segregate and deposit
with a bank designated by the Agent such allocable share of Collections of Receivables set aside
for the Lenders on the first Business Day following receipt by the Servicer of such Collections,
duly endorsed or with duly executed instruments of transfer.
26
(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Servicer may extend the maturity of
any Receivable or adjust the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable or otherwise modify the terms of
any Receivable as the Servicer determines to be appropriate to maximize Collections thereof or
minimize losses thereon; provided, however, that such extension or adjustment shall not
alter the status of such Receivable as a Delinquent Receivable or Defaulted Receivable, otherwise
make such Receivable an Eligible Receivable or limit the rights of the Agent or any Secured Party
under this Agreement.
(e) The Servicer shall hold in trust for Borrower and the Secured Parties all Records that (i)
evidence or relate to the Receivables, the related Contracts, Related Security and Collections or
(ii) are otherwise necessary or desirable to collect the Receivables and shall, as soon as
practicable upon demand of the Agent, deliver or make available to the Agent all such Records, at a
place selected by the Agent. The Servicer shall, as soon as practicable following receipt thereof
turn over to Borrower any cash collections or other cash proceeds in accordance with Article
II. The Servicer shall, from time to time at the request of any Lender Group Agent, furnish to
such Lender Group Agent (promptly after any such request) a calculation of the amounts set aside
for the Lenders pursuant to Article II.
(f) Any payment by an Obligor in respect of any indebtedness owed by it to Originator or
Borrower shall, except as otherwise specified by such Obligor or otherwise required by contract or
law and unless otherwise instructed by the Agent, be applied as a Collection of any Receivable of
such Obligor (starting with the oldest such Receivable) to the extent of any amounts then due and
payable thereunder before being applied to any other receivable or other obligation of such
Obligor.
Section 8.3 Collection Notices.
The Agent is authorized at any time to date and to deliver to the Collection Banks the
Collection Notices. Borrower hereby transfers to the Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties,
effective when the Agent delivers such notice, the exclusive ownership and control of each Lock-Box
and the Collection Accounts. In case any authorized signatory of Borrower whose signature appears
on a Collection Account Agreement shall cease to have such authority before the delivery of such
notice, such Collection Notice shall nevertheless be valid as if such authority had remained in
force. Borrower hereby authorizes the Agent, and agrees that the Agent shall be entitled (a) at
any time after delivery of the Collection Notices, to endorse Borrower’s name on checks and other
instruments representing Collections, (b) at any time after the occurrence of an Amortization
Event, to enforce the Receivables, the related Contracts and the Related Security, and (c) at any
time after the occurrence of an Amortization Event, to take such action as shall be necessary or
desirable to cause all cash, checks and other instruments constituting Collections of Receivables
to come into the possession of the Agent rather than Borrower.
Section 8.4 Responsibilities of Borrower.
Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the exercise by the Agent and the Secured
Parties of their rights hereunder shall not release the Servicer, any Originator or Borrower from
any of their duties or obligations with respect to any Receivables or under the
27
related Contracts. Neither the Agent nor any of the Secured Parties shall have any obligation
or liability with respect to any Receivables or related Contracts, nor shall any of them be
obligated to perform the obligations of Borrower.
Section 8.5 Monthly Reports.
The Servicer shall prepare and forward to the Agent and each Lender Group Agent (a) on each
Monthly Reporting Date, a Monthly Report and an electronic file of the data contained therein and
(b) at such times as the Agent or a Lender Group Agent shall reasonably request, (i) a listing by
Obligor of all Receivables together with an aging of such Receivables and (ii) other interim
reporting as may from time to time be reasonably requested by the Agent or a Lender Group Agent.
Section 8.6 Servicing Fee.
As compensation for the Servicer’s servicing activities on their behalf, the Lenders hereby
agree to pay the Servicer the Servicing Fee, which fee shall be paid in arrears on each Settlement
Date.
Section 8.7 Servicer Indemnities.
(a) Without limiting any other rights that the Agent or any Secured Party may have hereunder
or under applicable law, the Servicer hereby agrees to indemnify (and pay upon demand to) each
Indemnified Party for Indemnified Amounts actually awarded against or incurred by any of them
arising out of or as a result of any Covered Servicing Matters (as defined below), excluding,
however:
(i) Indemnified Amounts to the extent a final judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction holds that such Indemnified Amounts resulted from gross negligence or willful
misconduct on the part of the Indemnified Party seeking indemnification;
(ii) taxes imposed by the jurisdiction in which such Indemnified Party’s principal
executive office is located, on or measured by the overall net income of such Indemnified
Party to the extent that the computation of such taxes is consistent with the
characterization for income tax purposes of the acquisition by the Lenders of Loans as a
loan or loans by the Lenders to Borrower secured by the Receivables, the Related Security,
the Collection Accounts and the Collections;
(iii) Indemnified Amounts to the extent the same includes losses in respect of
Receivables that are late, delinquent or uncollectible on account of the insolvency,
bankruptcy, payment history or lack of creditworthiness of the related Obligor; or
(iv) Indemnified Amounts to the extent the same arise as a result of the performance by
the Servicer of its duties and obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;
28
provided, however, that nothing contained in this sentence shall limit the liability
of the Servicer for amounts otherwise specifically provided to be paid by the Servicer under the
terms of this Agreement.
(b) Subject in each case to clause (a)(i), (ii), (iii) and
(iv) above, each of the following shall be a “Covered Servicing Matter”:
(i) any representation or warranty made by any Servicer Party under or in connection
with any Monthly Report, this Agreement, any other Transaction Document to which it is a
party or that is delivered by it or any other information or report delivered by any
Servicer Party pursuant hereto or thereto that shall have been false or incorrect when made
or deemed made;
(ii) the failure by any Servicer Party to service, collect or administer any
Receivables Related Security or Contract related thereto in accordance with this Agreement,
the related Contract, the Credit and Collection Policy (but subject to the provisions of
this Agreement), applicable laws, rules and/or regulations (including, without limitation
any failure by any Servicer Party to have or maintain any license or other government
authorization, to be qualified to do business in any jurisdiction or to file any notice of
business activities or similar report in such jurisdiction);
(iii) any failure of any Servicer Party to perform its duties, covenants or other
obligations in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or any other Transaction
Document;
(iv) any suit or other claim arising out of or in connection with the servicing,
administration or collection of any Contract or any Receivable or Related Security;
(v) any dispute, claim, offset or defense (other than discharge in bankruptcy of the
Obligor) of the Obligor to the payment of any Receivable resulting from the servicing,
administration or collection of such Receivable;
(vi) the commingling of Collections of Receivables at any time with other funds of any
Servicer Party or any failure of Collections to be deposited into a Lock-Box or a Collection
Account as required by Section 8.2(b) hereof;
(vii) any Amortization Event described in Section 9.1(g);
(viii) any breach by any Servicer Party of any term of this Agreement or any other
Transaction Document applicable to it which reduces or impairs the rights of the Agent or
any other Person with respect to any Receivable or the value of any Receivable;
(ix) any failure by the Servicer to maintain or to cause any Originator or Servicer
Party to maintain, all indebtedness and other obligations owed to Borrower or any Originator
that, on the date such indebtedness or other obligation arises (the “Creation Date”)
on the “Commercial Management System” (excluding the Excluded CMS Districts) or “InfoPro
System” (excluding the Excluded InfoPro System Divisions and InfoPro System obligations with
a class code of RESI) of any Originator or any
29
Servicer Party, on such “Commercial Management System” (excluding the Excluded CMS
Districts) or “InfoPro System” (excluding the Excluded InfoPro System Divisions and InfoPro
System obligations with a class code of RESI) at all times from and after such Creation Date
until such time as such indebtedness or other obligations are no longer subject to the terms
of this Agreement.
Section 8.8 Servicer Covenants.
(a) The Servicer shall, and shall cause each of its Affiliates that acts as a sub-servicer to,
install, test and fully implement, to the reasonable satisfaction of the Agent, any and all system

sub-servicer to track and report (in a manner acceptable to the Agent) on a
Receivable-by-Receivable basis all short payments by Obligors of Receivables.
(b) The Servicer shall maintain, and shall cause each Originator and Servicer Party to
maintain, all indebtedness and other obligations owed to Borrower or any Originator that, on the
Creation Date, are reported on the “Commercial Management System” (excluding the Excluded CMS

obligations with a class code of RESI) of any Originator or any Servicer Party, on such “Commercial
Management System” (excluding the Excluded CMS Districts) or “InfoPro System” (excluding the
Excluded InfoPro System Divisions and InfoPro System obligations with a class code of RESI) at all
times from and after such Creation Date until such time as such indebtedness or other obligations
are no longer subject to the terms of this Agreement.
(c) At any time that any Receivables becomes subject to any dispute by the Obligor thereof,
such Receivable shall be removed from the Borrowing Base and the Borrowing Base recalculated
immediately upon a Servicer Party becoming aware of such dispute and the Servicer agrees to
maintain such internal processes as are commercially reasonable to enable it to provide itself with
such awareness.

the Discount Factor (as defined in the Receivables Sale Agreement) as required by the definition
thereof in the Receivable Sale Agreement.

Article X
Indemnification
Section 10.1 Indemnities by the Loan Parties.
Without limiting any other rights that the Agent or any Secured Party may have hereunder or
under applicable law, Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify (and pay upon demand to) the Agent, each
of the Secured Parties and each of the respective assigns, officers, directors, agents and
employees of the foregoing (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all
actual damages, losses, claims, liabilities, costs, expenses and for all other amounts payable
33
(except any amounts payable with respect to taxes, which shall be governed exclusively by
Section 10.4), including reasonable attorneys’ fees (which attorneys may be employees of
the Agent, any Lender Group Agent or any Lender) and disbursements (all of the foregoing being
collectively referred to as “Indemnified Amounts”) awarded against or incurred by any of
them arising out of or as a result of this Agreement or the grant to, or acquisition by, the Agent
for the benefit of the Secured Parties of a security interest in the Receivables, Related Security
and Collections, excluding, however, Indemnified Amounts to the extent a final judgment of a court
of competent jurisdiction holds that such Indemnified Amounts resulted from gross negligence or
willful misconduct on the part of the Indemnified Party seeking indemnification; provided,
however, that nothing contained in this sentence shall limit the liability of Borrower or limit the
recourse of the Lenders to Borrower for amounts otherwise specifically provided to be paid by
Borrower under the terms of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing
indemnification (but subject to the foregoing and except to the extent the Secured Parties have
received payments or Borrower has adjusted the Borrowing Base as contemplated by Section
1.4(a)), Borrower shall indemnify the Indemnified Parties for Indemnified Amounts (including,
without limitation, losses in respect of uncollectible receivables, regardless of whether
reimbursement therefor would constitute recourse to Borrower) relating to or resulting from:
(A) any representation or warranty made by any Loan Party or any Originator (or
any officers of any such Person) under or in connection with this Agreement, any
other Transaction Document or any other information or report delivered by any such
Person pursuant hereto or thereto, which shall have been false or incorrect when
made or deemed made;
(B) the failure by Borrower to comply with any applicable law, rule or
regulation with respect to any Receivable or Contract related thereto, or the

perform any of its obligations, express or implied, with respect to any Contract;
(C) any failure of Borrower to perform its duties, covenants or other
obligations in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or any other
Transaction Document;

claim arising out of or in connection with merchandise, insurance or services that
are the subject of any Contract or any Receivable;
(E) any dispute, claim, offset or defense (other than discharge in bankruptcy
of the Obligor) of the Obligor to the payment of any Receivable (including, without
limitation, a defense based on such Receivable or the related Contract not being a
legal, valid and binding obligation of such Obligor enforceable against it in
accordance with its terms), or any other claim resulting from the sale of the
merchandise or service related to such Receivable or the furnishing or failure to
furnish such merchandise or services;
34
(F) the commingling of Collections of Receivables at any time with other funds;
(G) any investigation, litigation or proceeding related to or arising from this
Agreement or any other Transaction Document, the transactions contemplated hereby,
the use of the proceeds of any Advance, the Collateral or any other investigation,
litigation or proceeding relating to Borrower in which any Indemnified Party becomes
involved as a result of any of the transactions contemplated hereby;
(H) any inability to litigate any claim against any Obligor in respect of any
Receivable as a result of such Obligor being immune from civil and commercial law
and suit on the grounds of sovereignty or otherwise from any legal action, suit or
proceeding;
(I) any Amortization Event described in Section 9.1(g);
(J) any failure of Borrower to acquire and maintain legal and equitable title
to, and ownership of any of the Collateral from the applicable Originator, free and
clear of any Adverse Claim (other than as created hereunder); or any failure of
Borrower to give reasonably equivalent value to any Originator under the Receivables
Sale Agreement in consideration of the transfer by such Originator of any
Receivable, or any attempt by any Person to void such transfer under statutory
provisions or common law or equitable action;
(K) any failure to vest and maintain vested in the Agent for the benefit of the
Secured Parties, or to transfer to the Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties,
a valid first priority perfected security interests in the Collateral, free and

other similar instruments or documents under the UCC of any applicable jurisdiction
or other applicable laws with respect to any Collateral, and the proceeds thereof,
whether at the time of any Advance or at any subsequent time;
(M) any action or omission by any Loan Party which reduces or impairs the
rights of the Agent or the Lenders with respect to any Collateral or the value of
any Collateral;
(N) any attempt by any Person to void any Advance or the Agent’s security
interest in the Collateral under statutory provisions or common law or equitable

35
Section 10.2 Increased Cost and Reduced Return.
(a) If after the date hereof, any Funding Source shall be charged any fee, expense or
increased cost on account of the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation (including any
applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy) or any change therein, or any change
in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or
comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or any accounting
board or authority (whether or not part of government) which is responsible for the establishment
or interpretation of national or international accounting principles, in each case whether foreign
or domestic or compliance with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of
any such authority, central bank or comparable agency (a “Regulatory Change”): (i) that
imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve, assessment, insurance charge, special deposit or
similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of a Funding Source, or
credit extended by a Funding Source pursuant to a Funding Agreement or (ii) that imposes any other
condition the result of which is to increase the cost to a Funding Source of performing its
obligations under a Funding Agreement, or to reduce the rate of return on a Funding Source’s
capital as a consequence of its obligations under a Funding Agreement, or to reduce the amount of
any sum received or receivable by a Funding Source under a Funding Agreement or to require any
payment calculated by reference to the amount of interests or loans held or interest received by
it, then, upon demand by the related Lender Group Agent, Borrower shall pay to such Lender Group
Agent, for the benefit of the relevant Funding Source, such amounts charged to such Funding Source
or such amounts to otherwise compensate such Funding Source for such increased cost or such
reduction. For avoidance of doubt, any interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51 by
the Financial Accounting Standards Board shall constitute an adoption, change, request or directive
subject to this Section 10.2. Borrower’s obligation to pay any amounts with respect to
taxes shall be governed exclusively by Section 10.4.
(b) If Borrower is obligated to pay any Funding Source under this Section 10.2 then
such Funding Source shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for
funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another
of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Funding Source, such
designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce the total amounts payable pursuant to this
Section 10.2 and Section 10.4, if any, in the future and (ii) would not subject
such Funding Source to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous
to such Funding Source. Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred
by any Funding Source in connection with any such designation or assignment.
(c) If Borrower is obligated to pay any Funding Source under this Section 10.2 or if
any Funding Source defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder, then Borrower may (provided
no Amortization Event or Unmatured Amortization Event has occurred), at its sole expense and
effort, upon notice to such Funding Source and the Agent and the related Funding Source Group Agent
require such Funding Source to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and
subject to the restrictions contained in Article XII), all its interests, rights and
obligations under this Agreement to an Eligible Assignee acceptable to the Lender Group Agent of
the affected Funding Source Group that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another
Funding Source, if a Funding Source accepts such assignment); provided that (i)
36
Borrower shall have received the prior written consents of the Agent and the related Lender
Group Agent, which consents shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Funding Source shall have
received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations,
accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the
assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or Borrower
(in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a
payment under this Section 10.2, such assignment will result in a material reduction in
such payments. A Funding Source shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation
if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Funding Source or otherwise, the circumstances
entitling Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
Section 10.3 Other Costs and Expenses.
Borrower shall pay to the Agent and each Lender Group Agent on demand all reasonable costs and
out-of-pocket expenses in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery and administration
of this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby and the other documents to be delivered
hereunder, including without limitation, the reasonable cost of any auditors auditing the books,
records and procedures of Borrower, reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of legal counsel for
the Agent and for each Lender Group Agent with respect thereto and with respect to advising the
Agent and each Lender Group Agent as to their respective rights and remedies under this Agreement.
Borrower shall pay to the Agent and each Lender Group Agent on demand any and all costs and
expenses of the Agent, such Lender Group Agent and the Lenders, if any, including reasonable fees
and expenses for one counsel in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement against any of
the Loan Parties and the other documents delivered hereunder and in connection with any
restructuring or workout of this Agreement or such documents, or the administration of this
Agreement following an Amortization Event.
Section 10.4 Taxes.
(a) Any and all payments by the Borrower hereunder or under any other Transaction Document
shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any and
all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, additions to
tax, interest, penalties and all other liabilities with respect thereto imposed by the U.S.,
excluding (i) net income, franchise or similar taxes (including branch profits taxes or alternative
minimum tax) based on or measured by net income that are imposed or levied on the Agent, any
Conduit Lender, any Lender Group Agent, or any Funding Source (each, a “Tax Indemnitee”) as
a result of a connection between the Tax Indemnitee and the jurisdiction of the governmental
authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein
(other than any such connection arising solely from such Tax Indemnitee having executed, delivered
or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced by, this Agreement) and (ii)
in the case of any Foreign Tax Indemnitee, any taxes that are in effect and that would apply to a
payment hereunder or under any other Transaction Document made to such Foreign Tax Indemnitee as of
the date such Foreign Tax Indemnitee becomes a party to this Agreement or any other Transaction
Document, or in the case of any other Tax Indemnitee which changes its lending office with respect
to any Loan to an office outside the United States, any taxes that are in effect and would apply to
a payment to such Tax
37
Indemnitee as of the date of the change of the lending office; provided, however, that
if such change was solely at the request of Borrower or required pursuant to the provisions of
Section 10.2(b), then this Section 10.4(a)(ii) shall not apply; provided,
further, however, that the computation of such Taxes and Other Taxes is consistent with the
characterization for federal income tax purposes of the acquisition by such Tax Indemnitee of Loans
as a loan or loans by such Tax Indemnitee to Borrower secured by the Receivables, the Related
Security, the Collection Accounts and the Collections (all such non-excluded taxes, levies,
imports, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as
“Taxes”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term “Taxes” shall include, with respect to a
Foreign Tax Indemnitee that becomes a party to this Agreement as a result of an assignment or a Tax
Indemnitee that changes its lending office to an office outside the U.S., taxes (or a portion
thereof) that would have constituted Taxes in the hands of the assigning (or transferring) Tax
Indemnitee (or lending office) under the preceding sentence as of the date of such assignment or
change in the lending office. If the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct or withhold any
Taxes from, or in respect of, any sum payable hereunder or under any other Transaction Document to
a Tax Indemnitee: (i) the sum payable thereunder shall be increased as may be necessary so that
after making all required deductions or withholdings (including deductions or withholdings
applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 10.4) the Tax Indemnitee or any of
its respective Affiliates receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such
deductions or withholdings been made; (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions or withholdings;
and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant tax authority or other
authority in accordance with applicable laws.
(b) In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp, mortgage recording or
documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies which arise from
any payment made hereunder or under other Transaction Document or from the execution, delivery or
registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents
(hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).
(c) The Borrower will indemnify the Tax Indemnitees for the full amount of Taxes or Other
Taxes arising in connection with payments made under this Agreement or any other Transaction
Document paid by the Tax Indemnitees or any of their respective Affiliates and any liability
(including penalties, additions to tax interest and other liabilities) arising therefrom or with
respect thereto. Payment under this indemnification shall be made within thirty days from the date
a Tax Indemnitee or any of its respective Affiliates makes written demand therefor;
provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be obligated to make payment to such
Tax Indemnitee (as the case may be) pursuant to this Section 10.4(c) in respect of
penalties, interest and other liabilities attributable to any Taxes or Other Taxes, if such
penalties, interest and other liabilities are attributable to the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of such Tax Indemnitee or its Affiliates. After a Tax Indemnitee receives written
notice of the imposition of the Taxes or Other Taxes which are subject to this Section
10.4, such Tax Indemnitee will act in good faith to promptly notify the Borrower of its
obligations hereunder.
(d) The Borrower will furnish to the Tax Indemnitees immediately after payment of any Taxes
original or certified copies of tax receipts evidencing such payment by the Borrower or, if such
receipts are not obtainable, other evidence of such payments by the Borrower reasonably
satisfactory to the Tax Indemnitees.
38
(e) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrower hereunder, the
agreements and obligations of the Borrower contained in this Section 10.4 shall survive the
payment in full of all amounts due hereunder.
(f) If the Borrower is required to pay additional amounts to or for the account of any Tax
Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 10.4 as a result of a change in law or treaty occurring
after such Tax Indemnitee first became a party to this Agreement, then such Tax Indemnitee will, at
the request of the Borrower, either change the jurisdiction of its applicable lending office if
such change (i) will eliminate or reduce the total amounts payable pursuant to Section 10.2
(if any) and Section 10.4 which may thereafter accrue and (ii) is, in such Tax Indemnitee’s
sole, reasonable discretion, determined not to be materially disadvantageous or cause unreasonable
hardship to such Tax Indemnitee, provided that fees, charges, costs or expenses that are
related to such change shall be borne by the Borrower on behalf of a Tax Indemnitee, and the mere
existence of such expenses, fees or costs shall not be deemed to be materially disadvantageous or
cause undue hardship to the Tax Indemnitee or assign and delegate all its interests, rights and
obligations under this Agreement in the manner described in Section 10.2(c).
(g) Each Foreign Tax Indemnitee or any person receiving payments on its behalf shall deliver
to the Borrower and the Agent, and if applicable, the assigning Tax Indemnitee, on or before the
date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement:
(i) two duly completed and signed copies of either Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN
(claiming an exemption from or a reduction in U.S. withholding tax under an applicable
treaty) or its successor form or Form W-8ECI (claiming an exemption from U.S. withholding
tax as effectively connected income) or its successor form and any related applicable forms,
as the case may be;
(ii) in the case of a Foreign Tax Indemnitee that is not a “bank” within the meaning of
Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Tax Code and that cannot comply with the requirements of
clause (i) hereof, (x) a statement to the effect that such Tax Indemnitee is
eligible for a complete exemption from withholding of U.S. Taxes under Tax Code Section
871(h) or 881(c), and (y) two duly completed and signed copies of Internal Revenue Service
Form W-8BEN or successor and related applicable form;
(iii) if such Foreign Tax Indemnitee or any person receiving payments on its behalf is
a “qualified intermediary” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section
1.1441-1(e)(5)(ii), two properly completed Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY and any
related documents required in conjunction with such Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY
before the payment of any amounts under this Agreement; or
(iv) if such Foreign Tax Indemnitee or any person receiving payments on behalf of a
Foreign Tax Indemnitee is a “nonqualified intermediary” within the meaning of Treasury
Regulation Section 1.1441-1(c)(14), two properly completed Internal Revenue Service Form
W-8IMY and any related documents (including any forms described above) required in
connection with such Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY before the payment of any amounts
under this Agreement.
39
Further, each Foreign Tax Indemnitee agrees to deliver, following receipt of written request
therefor from Borrower, to the Borrower and the Agent, and if applicable, the assigning Tax
Indemnitee two further duly completed and signed copies of the above referenced forms, or successor
and related applicable forms, on or before the date that any such form expires or becomes obsolete
and promptly after the occurrence of any event requiring a change from the most recent form(s)
previously delivered by it in accordance with applicable U.S. laws and regulations and to deliver
promptly to the Borrower and the Agent, and if applicable, the assigning Tax Indemnitee, such
additional statements and forms as shall be reasonably requested by the Borrower from time to time
unless, in any such case, any change in law or regulation has occurred subsequent to the date such
Foreign Tax Indemnitee became a party to this Agreement which renders all such forms inapplicable
or which would prevent such Tax Indemnitee from properly completing and executing any such form
with respect to it and such Tax Indemnitee promptly notifies the Borrower and the Agent if it is no
longer able to deliver, or if it is required to withdraw or cancel, any form or statement
previously delivered by it pursuant to this Section 10.4(g).
(h) The Borrower shall not be required to pay any Taxes or Other Taxes pursuant to this
Section 10.4 in respect of U.S. federal income taxes if the obligation to withhold with
respect to such Taxes or Other Taxes results from, or would not have occurred but for, the failure
of any Foreign Tax Indemnitee to deliver the forms described in the preceding Section
10.4(g) in the manner and at the times specified in such section; provided,
however, that (i) the Borrower shall be required to pay any Taxes or Other Taxes resulting
from a change in law (or interpretation thereof) that becomes effective after the date hereof and
(ii) should a Tax Indemnitee become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver the forms
required hereunder, Borrower shall, at the expense of such Tax Indemnitee, take such steps as such
Tax Indemnitee shall reasonably request to assist such Tax Indemnitee to recover such Taxes. A
Foreign Tax Indemnitee shall not be required to deliver any form or statement pursuant to
Section 10.4 that such Foreign Tax Indemnitee is not legally able to deliver.
(i) If and to the extent that any Tax Indemnitee is able, in its reasonable discretion, to
apply or otherwise take advantage of any offsetting tax credit or other similar tax benefit arising
out of or in conjunction with any deduction or withholding which gives rise to an obligation on the
Borrower to pay any Taxes or Other Taxes pursuant to this Section 10.4 then such Tax
Indemnitee shall, to the extent that in its sole opinion it can do so without prejudice to the
retention of the amount of such credit or benefit and without any other adverse tax consequences
for such Tax Indemnitee, reimburse to the Borrower at such time as such tax credit or benefit shall
have actually been received by such Tax Indemnitee such amount as such Tax Indemnitee shall have
determined to be attributable to the relevant deduction or withholding and as will leave such Tax
Indemnitee in no better or worse position than it would have been in if the payment of such Taxes
or Other Taxes had not been required. Nothing in this paragraph shall require any Tax Indemnitee
to make available to Borrower any tax return or information contained therein that such Tax
Indemnitee deems to be confidential or proprietary.

binding on such Lender and Lender Group Agent).
(b) Each Person in each Lender Group, on behalf of itself and its assigns, hereby designates
and appoints the Person identified as the Lender Group Agent for such Lender Group in such Lender
Group’s Assignment Agreement to act as its agent hereunder and under each other Transaction

Neither the Agent, any Lender Group Agent nor any of their respective directors, officers,
agents or employees shall be (a) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it
or them under or in connection with this Agreement or any Transaction Document (except for its,
their or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (b) responsible in any
manner to any of the Secured Parties for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties
made by any Loan Party contained in this Agreement, any Transaction Document or any certificate,
report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received hereunder or under
or in connection with, any Transaction Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness,
genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any Transaction Document or any
other document furnished in connection herewith or therewith, or for any failure of any Loan Party
to perform its obligations hereunder or under any Transaction Document, or for the satisfaction of
any condition specified in Article VI, or for the perfection, priority, condition, value or
sufficiency of any collateral pledged in connection herewith. Neither the Agent nor any Lender
Group Agent shall be under any obligation to any Secured Party to ascertain or to inquire as to the
observance or performance of any of the agreements or covenants contained in, or conditions of,
this Agreement or any Transaction Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the
Loan Parties. Neither the Agent nor any Lender Group Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of
any Amortization Event or Unmatured Amortization Event unless it has received notice of such event.
Section 11.4 Reliance.
The Agent and each Lender Group Agent shall in all cases be entitled to rely, and shall be
fully protected in relying, upon any document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and
correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and
statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to Borrower), independent
accountants and other experts selected by it. The Agent and each Lender Group Agent shall in all
cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any
Transaction Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required
Liquidity Banks, a majority in interest of the Liquidity Banks that are members of its Lender Group
or (in the case of the Agent, in such instances as are provided for herein) all of the Lenders, as
applicable, as it deems appropriate and it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the
Lenders (in the case of the Agent) or the Lenders that are members of its Lender Group (in the case
of a Lender Group Agent), provided that unless and until the Agent or a Lender Group Agent
shall have received such advice, the Agent or such Lender Group Agent, as the case may be, may take
or refrain from taking any action, as it shall deem advisable and in the best interests of the
Lenders (in the case of the Agent) or the Lenders that are members of its Lender Group (in the case
of a Lender Group Agent). The Agent and each Lender Group Agent shall in all cases be fully
protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, in accordance with a request of the Required
Liquidity Banks or all of the Lenders, as applicable (in the case of the Agent) or the Lenders that
are members of its Lender Group (in the case of a Lender Group Agent), and such request and any
action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders (in the case
of the Agent) or the Lenders that are members of its Lender Group (in the case of a Lender Group
Agent).
42
Section 11.5 Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Lenders.
Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Agent, any Lender Group Agent, nor any of
their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates has made
any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Agent or any Lender Group Agent
hereafter taken, including, without limitation, any review of the affairs of any Loan Party, shall
be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Agent or any Lender Group Agent.
Each Lender represents and warrants to the Agent and each Lender Group Agent that it has and will,
independently and without reliance upon the Agent, any Lender Group Agent or any other Lender and
based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and
investigation into the business, operations, property, prospects, financial and other conditions
and creditworthiness of Borrower and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement, the
Transaction Documents and all other documents related thereto.
Section 11.6 Reimbursement and Indemnification.
(a) The Liquidity Banks agree to reimburse and indemnify the Agent and its officers,
directors, employees, representatives and agents ratably according to their Pro Rata Shares, to the
extent not paid or reimbursed by the Loan Parties (i) for any amounts for which the Agent, acting
in its capacity as Agent, is entitled to reimbursement by the Loan Parties hereunder and (ii) for
any other expenses incurred by the Agent, in its capacity as Agent and acting on behalf of the
Lenders, in connection with the administration and enforcement of the Liquidity Agreement and the
Transaction Documents.
(b) The Liquidity Banks that are members of each Lender Group agree to reimburse and indemnify
the related Lender Group Agent and its officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents
ratably according to their Pro Rata Shares, to the extent not paid or reimbursed by the Loan
Parties (i) for any amounts for which such Lender Group Agent, acting in its capacity as Lender
Group Agent, is entitled to reimbursement by the Loan Parties hereunder and (ii) for any other
expenses incurred by such Lender Group Agent, in its capacity as Lender Group Agent and acting on
behalf of the Lenders in such Lender Group, in connection with the administration and enforcement
of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents.
Section 11.7 Individual Capacity.
The Agent, each Lender Group Agent and their respective Affiliates may make loans to, accept
deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with Borrower or any Affiliate of
Borrower as though the Agent or such Lender Group Agent were not the Agent or a Lender Group Agent
hereunder. With respect to the making of Loans pursuant to this Agreement, the Agent and each
Lender Group Agent shall have the same rights and powers under the Liquidity Agreement for its
Lender Group and this Agreement in its individual capacity as any Lender and may exercise the same
as though it were not the Agent or Lender Group Agent, as the case may be, and the terms “Liquidity
Bank,” “Lender,” “Liquidity Banks” and “Lenders” shall include the Agent and each Lender Group
Agent, as applicable, in its individual capacity.
43
Section 11.8 Successors.
The Agent and each Lender Group Agent, upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Loan Parties and
the Lenders, may voluntarily resign and may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by the
Required Liquidity Lenders (in the case of the Agent) and by a Majority In Interest of the
Liquidity Banks of the related Lender Group (in the case of a Lender Group Agent);
provided, however, that Wachovia shall not voluntarily resign as the Agent so long as any
of the Liquidity Commitments remain in effect or VFCC has any outstanding Loans. If the Agent
(other than Wachovia) shall voluntarily resign or be removed as Agent under this Agreement, then
the Required Liquidity Lenders, during such five-day period, shall appoint, from among the
remaining Liquidity Banks, a successor Agent reasonably acceptable to Borrower (provided that
Borrower’s consent shall not be required if any Amortization Event shall have occurred), whereupon
such successor Agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Agent and the term
“Agent” shall mean such successor agent, effective upon its appointment, and the former Agent’s
rights, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on
the part of such former Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement. If a Lender Group Agent
shall voluntarily resign or be removed as Lender Group Agent under this Agreement, then a majority
in interest of the Liquidity Banks that are members of the related Lender Group, during such
five-day period, shall appoint, from among the remaining Liquidity Banks that are members of such
Lender Group, a successor Lender Group Agent reasonably acceptable to Borrower (provided that
Borrower’s consent shall not be required if any Amortization Event shall have occurred), whereupon
such successor Lender Group Agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Lender
Group Agent for such Lender Group and the term “Lender Group Agent” shall mean such successor
agent, effective upon its appointment, and the former Lender Group Agent’s rights, powers and
duties as Lender Group Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the
part of such former Lender Group Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement. Upon resignation
or replacement of the Agent in accordance with this Section 11.8, the retiring Agent shall
file or cause to be filed such UCC-3 assignments and amendments, and shall execute assignments and
amendments of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents, as may be necessary to give effect to
its replacement by a successor Agent. After the retiring Agent’s Lender Group Agent’s resignation
hereunder as Agent or as Lender Group Agent, as the case may be, the provisions of this Article
XI and Article X shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be
taken by it while it was Agent or Lender Group Agent, as the case may be, under this Agreement.
Article XII
Assignments; Participations
Section 12.1 Assignments.
(a) Each of the Agent, the Loan Parties, each of the Lender Group Agents and the Liquidity
Banks hereby agrees and consents to the complete or partial assignment by a Conduit of all or any
portion of its rights under, interest in, title to and obligations under this Agreement to the
Liquidity Banks that are members of such Conduit’s Lender Group pursuant to the related Liquidity
Agreement.
44
(b) Any Liquidity Bank may at any time and from time to time assign to one or more Eligible
Assignees (each, a “Purchasing Liquidity Bank”) all or any part of its rights and
obligations under this Agreement pursuant to an assignment agreement substantially in the form set
forth in Exhibit VII hereto (an “Assignment Agreement”) executed by such Purchasing
Liquidity Bank and such selling Liquidity Bank. The consent of the related Conduit shall be
required prior to the effectiveness of any such assignment. Each assignee of a Liquidity Bank must
(i) be an Eligible Assignee and (ii) agree to deliver to the Agent or the related Lender Group
Agent, promptly following any request therefor by the Agent or such Lender Group Agent, an
enforceability opinion in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent and such Lender Group Agent.
Upon delivery of an executed Assignment Agreement to the Agent and the related Lender Group Agent,
such selling Liquidity Bank shall be released from its obligations hereunder to the extent of such
assignment. Thereafter the Purchasing Liquidity Bank shall for all purposes be a Liquidity Bank
party to this Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Liquidity Bank hereunder
to the same extent as if it were an original party hereto and thereto and no further consent or
action by Borrower, the Lenders, the Lender Group Agents, any Loan Party (except as set forth in
Section 12.1(d)) or the Agent shall be required.
(c) Each of the Liquidity Banks agrees that in the event that it shall suffer a Downgrading
Event, such Downgraded Liquidity Bank shall, at the request of the related Lender Group Agent,
either (i) collateralize its Commitment in a manner acceptable to the Agent and such Lender Group
Agent, or (ii) subject to Section 12.1(d), assign all of its rights and obligations
hereunder to an Eligible Assignee nominated by the related Lender Group Agent or by a Loan Party
(and acceptable to related Lender Group Agent) and willing to participate in this Agreement through
the Liquidity Termination Date in the place of such Downgraded Liquidity Bank; provided
that the Downgraded Liquidity Bank receives payment in full, pursuant to an Assignment Agreement,
of an amount equal to such Liquidity Bank’s Pro Rata Share of the Obligations owing to the
Liquidity Banks that are members of its Lender Group.
(d) No Loan Party may assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the
prior written consents of the Agent and each of the Lender Group Agents and without satisfying any
applicable Rating Agency Condition. No Lender may assign any of its rights or obligations under
this Agreement without the prior written consents of Borrower, provided, however Borrower’s
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld and in any event, Borrower’s consent shall not be
required for any such assignment to (i) any Affiliate of the Agent, any Lender Group Agent or any
Liquidity Bank, (ii) any Conduit administered by the Agent or any Lender Group Agent or (iii) from
and after the occurrence of any Amortization Event.
(e) Each Lender Group Agent shall, on behalf of the Borrower, maintain a copy of each
Assignment Agreement delivered to and a register (each “Register”) for the recordation of
the names and addresses of, and the principal amount of the Loans owing to, the Lenders that are
members of such Lender Group Agent’s Lender Group and the Commitments of each Liquidity Bank that
is a member of such Lender Group from time to time. The entries in each Register shall be
conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower, each Lender, each Lender Group
Agent and the Agent shall treat the person whose name is recorded in a Register as the owner of the
Loans described therein for all purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding
45
anything to the contrary, any assignment of any Loan by a Lender shall be effective only upon
appropriate entries with respect thereto being made in a Register.
Section 12.2 Participations.
(a) Any Liquidity Bank may, in the ordinary course of its business at any time sell to one or
more Persons (each, a “Participant”) participating interests in its Pro Rata Share of the
Aggregate Commitment, its Loans or any other interest of such Liquidity Bank hereunder.
Notwithstanding any such sale by a Liquidity Bank of a participating interest to a Participant,
such Liquidity Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such
Liquidity Bank shall remain solely responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder,
and the Loan Parties, the related Lender Group Agent and the Agent shall continue to deal solely
and directly with such Liquidity Bank in connection with such Liquidity Bank’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement. Each Liquidity Bank agrees that any agreement between such
Liquidity Bank and any such Participant in respect of such participating interest shall not
restrict such Liquidity Bank’s right to agree to any amendment, supplement, waiver or modification
to this Agreement.
(b) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section
10.2 or 10.4 than the applicable Liquidity Bank would have been entitled to receive
with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to
such Participant is made with Borrower’s prior written consent. In addition, a Participant that
would be a Foreign Tax Indemnitee if it were a Liquidity Bank shall not be entitled to the benefits
of Section 10.4 unless Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant
and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of Borrower, to comply with Section 10.4(g)
and 10.4(i) as though it were a Liquidity Bank.
Article XIII

Borrower hereby grants to the Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in
all assets of Borrower, including, without limitation, all of Borrower’s right, title and

46
Article XIV
Miscellaneous
Section 14.1 Waivers and Amendments.
(a) No failure or delay on the part of the Agent, any Lender Group Agent or any Lender in
exercising any power, right or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor
shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or remedy preclude any other further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power, right or remedy. The rights and remedies
herein provided shall be cumulative and nonexclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.
Any waiver of this Agreement shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific
purpose for which given.
(b) No provision of this Agreement may be amended, supplemented, modified or waived except in
writing in accordance with the provisions of this Section 14.1(b). The parties hereto may
enter into written modifications or waivers of any provisions of this Agreement, and any material
amendment, waiver or other modification of this Agreement shall require satisfaction of the Rating
Agency Condition. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of the unaffected Lender
Group Agents and the members of such unaffected Lender Group, but with the consent of Borrower, the
Agent and a Lender Group Agent may amend this Agreement solely to add additional Persons as
Liquidity Banks hereunder for such Lender Group Agent’s Lender Group. Any modification or waiver
made in accordance with this Section 14.1 shall apply to each of the Lenders equally and
shall be binding upon Borrower, the Lenders and the Agent.
Section 14.2 Notices.
Except as provided in this Section 14.2, all communications and notices provided for
hereunder shall be in writing (including bank wire, telecopy or electronic facsimile transmission
or similar writing) and shall be given to the other parties hereto at their respective addresses or
telecopy numbers set forth on the signature pages hereof or at such other address or telecopy
number as such Person may hereafter specify for the purpose of notice to each of the other parties
hereto. Each such notice or other communication shall be effective (a) if given by telecopy, upon
the receipt thereof, (b) if given by mail, three (3) Business Days after the time such
communication is deposited in the mail with first class postage prepaid or (c) if given by any
other means, when received at the address specified in this Section 14.2. Borrower hereby
authorizes each Lender Group Agent to effect Advances and Interest Period and Interest Rate
selections based on telephonic notices made by any Person whom such Lender Group Agent in good
faith believes to be acting on behalf of Borrower. Borrower agrees to deliver promptly to the
related Lender Group Agent a written confirmation of each telephonic notice signed by an authorized
officer of Borrower; provided, however, the absence of such confirmation shall not affect
the validity of such notice. If the written confirmation differs from the action taken by such
Lender Group Agent, the records of such Lender Group Agent shall govern absent manifest error.
47
Section 14.3 Ratable Payments.
If any Lender, whether by setoff or otherwise, has payment made to it with respect to any
portion of the Obligations owing to such Lender (other than payments received pursuant to
Section 10.2, 10.3 or 10.4) in a greater proportion than that received by
any other Lender entitled to receive a ratable share of such Obligations, such Lender agrees,
promptly upon demand, to purchase for cash without recourse or warranty a portion of such
Obligations held by the other Lenders so that after such purchase each Lender will hold its ratable
proportion of such Obligations; provided that if all or any portion of such excess amount is
thereafter recovered from such Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price
restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.
Section 14.4 Protection of Agent’s Security Interest.
(a) Borrower agrees that from time to time, at its expense, it will promptly execute and
deliver all instruments and documents, and take all actions, that may be necessary or that the
Agent may reasonably request, to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the Agent’s security
interest in the Collateral, or to enable the Agent or the Secured Parties to exercise and enforce
their rights and remedies hereunder. At any time after the occurrence of an Amortization Event,
the Agent may, or the Agent may direct Borrower or the Servicer to, notify the Obligors of
Receivables, at Borrower’s expense, of the ownership or security interest of the Agent for the
benefit of the Secured Parties under this Agreement and may also direct that payments of all
amounts due or that become due under any or all Receivables be made directly to the Agent or its
designee. Borrower or the Servicer (as applicable) shall, at any Lender’s request, withhold the
identity of such Lender in any such notification.
(b) If any Loan Party fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder, the Agent, any Lender
Group Agent or any Lender may (but shall not be required to) perform, or cause performance of, such
obligations, and the Agent’s, such Lender Group Agent’s or such Lender’s costs and expenses
incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by Borrower as provided in Section 10.3.
Borrower hereby authorizes the Agent to file financing statements and other filing or recording
documents with respect to the Receivables, Related Security and Collections (including any
amendments thereto, or continuation or termination statements thereof), without the signature or
other authorization of such Loan Party, in such form and in such offices as the Agent deems
necessary to perfect or maintain the perfection of the security interest of the Agent hereunder.
Borrower acknowledges and agrees that it is not authorized to, and will not, file financing
statements or other filing or recording documents with respect to the Receivables, Related Security
or Collections (including any amendments thereto, or continuation or termination statements
thereof), without the express prior written approval by the Agent, consenting to the form and
substance of such filing or recording document. Borrower approves, authorizes and ratifies any
filings or recordings made by or on behalf of the Agent in connection with the perfection of the
security interests in favor of Borrower (with respect to the interests acquired by Borrower under
the Receivables Sale Agreement) or the Agent.
(c) Borrower hereby authorizes the Agent to file all appropriate UCC financing statements to
protect, preserve and perfect the security interest of the Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties,
granted hereunder by Borrower in the Collateral.
48

disclosure of any Confidential Information with respect to it (i) to the Agent, each Lender Group
Agent, the Liquidity Banks, the Lenders or their respective Affiliates by each other, (ii) by the
Agent, any Lender Group Agent or any Lender to any prospective or actual assignee or participant of
any of them and (iii) by the Agent or any Lender Group Agent to any rating agency assigning a
rating to the debt obligations of a Conduit, any commercial paper dealer for any Conduit’s debt
obligations, any Funding Source and any entity organized for the purpose of purchasing, or making
loans secured by, financial assets for which any Lender Group Agent acts as agent and to any
officers, directors, employees, outside accountants and attorneys of any of the foregoing,
provided that each recipient of such nonpublic information is informed of the confidential
nature of such information. In addition, each Lender, each Lender Group Agent and the Agent may
disclose any such nonpublic information pursuant to any law, rule, regulation, direction, request

having the force or effect of law), provided that each recipient of such nonpublic
information is informed of the confidential nature of such information.

therefor and has not had its payment terms extended more than once,
(vi) which is an “account,” “payment intangible,” or “chattel paper” within the meaning
of Section 9-102(a)(2) and Section 9-102(a)(11), respectively, of the UCC of all applicable

does not require the Obligor under such Contract to consent to the transfer, sale, pledge or
assignment of the rights and duties of the applicable Originator or any of its assignees
under such Contract and (B) does not contain a confidentiality provision that purports to
restrict the ability of any Lender to exercise its rights under this Agreement, including,

rule or regulation applicable thereto (including, without limitation, any law, rule and
regulation relating to truth in lending, fair credit billing, fair credit reporting, equal

part of the Contract related thereto is in violation of any such law, rule or regulation,

related Obligor by the applicable Originator, and not by any other Person (in whole or in
part),

such Receivable (except with respect to sale discounts effected pursuant to the Contract, or
defective goods returned in accordance with the terms of the
Exh I - 10
Contract); provided, however, that if such dispute, offset, counterclaim or
defense affects only a portion of the Outstanding Balance of such Receivable, then such
Receivable may be deemed an Eligible Receivable to the extent of the portion of such
Outstanding Balance which is not so affected, and provided, further, that
Receivables of any Obligor which has any accounts payable by the applicable Originator or by

Agreement, and Borrower has good and marketable title thereto free and clear of any Adverse
Claim.

Originator or AWNA results from Receivables being late, delinquent or uncollectible on account of
the insolvency, bankruptcy, payment behavior or lack of creditworthiness of the related Obligor;
provided that nothing herein shall relieve any Originator or AWNA from performing in full its
Guaranteed Obligations under the Agreements or Performance Guarantor of its undertaking hereunder
with respect to the full performance of such duties.
Section 3. Performance Guarantor’s Further Agreements to Pay. Performance Guarantor
further agrees, as the principal obligor and not as a guarantor only, to pay to Recipient (and its
assigns), forthwith upon demand in funds immediately available to Recipient, all reasonable costs
and expenses (including court costs and reasonable legal expenses) incurred or expended by
Recipient in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations, this Undertaking and the enforcement
thereof, together with interest on amounts recoverable under this Undertaking from the time when
such amounts become due until payment, at a rate of interest (computed for the actual number of
days elapsed based on a 360 day year) equal to the Prime Rate plus 2% per annum, such rate of
interest changing when and as the Prime Rate changes.
Section 4. Waivers by Performance Guarantor. Performance Guarantor waives notice of
acceptance of this Undertaking, notice of any action taken or omitted by Recipient (or its assigns)
in reliance on this Undertaking, and any requirement that Recipient (or its assigns) be
Exh XI-2
diligent or prompt in making demands under this Undertaking, giving notice of any Termination
Event, Amortization Event, other default or omission by any Originator or asserting any other
rights of Recipient under this Undertaking. Performance Guarantor warrants that it has adequate
means to obtain from each Originator, on a continuing basis, information concerning the financial
condition of such Originator, and that it is not relying on Recipient to provide such information,
now or in the future. Performance Guarantor also irrevocably waives all defenses (i) that at any
time may be available in respect of the Obligations by virtue of any statute of limitations,
valuation, stay, moratorium law or other similar law now or hereafter in effect or (ii) that arise
under the law of suretyship, including impairment of collateral. Recipient (and its assigns) shall
be at liberty, without giving notice to or obtaining the assent of Performance Guarantor and
without relieving Performance Guarantor of any liability under this Undertaking, to deal with each
Originator and AWNA and with each other party who now is or after the date hereof becomes liable in
any manner for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, in such manner as Recipient in its sole
discretion deems fit, and to this end Performance Guarantor agrees that the validity and
enforceability of this Undertaking, including without limitation, the provisions of Section
7 hereof, shall not be impaired or affected by any of the following: (a) any extension,
modification or renewal of, or indulgence with respect to, or substitutions for, the Guaranteed
Obligations or any part thereof or any agreement relating thereto at any time; (b) any failure or
omission to enforce any right, power or remedy with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any
part thereof or any agreement relating thereto, or any collateral securing the Guaranteed
Obligations or any part thereof; (c) any waiver of any right, power or remedy or of any Termination
Event, Amortization Event, or default with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part
thereof or any agreement relating thereto; (d) any release, surrender, compromise, settlement,
waiver, subordination or modification, with or without consideration, of any other obligation of
any person or entity with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof; (e) the
enforceability or validity of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof or the genuineness,
enforceability or validity of any agreement relating thereto or with respect to the Guaranteed
Obligations or any part thereof; (f) the application of amounts which are not covered by this
Undertaking even though Recipient (or its assigns) might lawfully have elected to apply such
payments to any part or all of the payment Obligations of such Originator or AWNA or to amounts
which are not covered by this Undertaking; (g) the existence of any claim, setoff or other rights
which Performance Guarantor may have at any time against any Originator or AWNA in connection
herewith or any unrelated transaction; (h) any assignment or transfer of the Guaranteed Obligations
or any part thereof; or (i) any failure on the part of any Originator or AWNA to perform or comply
with any term of the Agreements or any other document executed in connection therewith or delivered
thereunder, all whether or not Performance Guarantor shall have had notice or knowledge of any act
or omission referred to in the foregoing clauses (a) through (i) of this
Section 4.
Section 5. Unenforceability of Guaranteed Obligations Against Originators or AWNA.
Notwithstanding (a) any change of ownership of any Originator or AWNA or the insolvency, bankruptcy
or any other change in the legal status of any Originator or AWNA; (b) the change in or the
imposition of any law, decree, regulation or other governmental act which does or might impair,
delay or in any way affect the validity, enforceability or the payment when due of the Guaranteed
Obligations; (c) the failure of any Originator, AWNA or Performance Guarantor to maintain in full
force, validity or effect or to obtain or renew when required all governmental and other approvals,
licenses or consents required in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations or
Exh XI-3
this Undertaking, or to take any other action required in connection with the performance of
all obligations pursuant to the Guaranteed Obligations or this Undertaking; or (d) if any of the
moneys included in the Guaranteed Obligations have become irrecoverable from any Originator for any
other reason other than final payment in full of the payment Obligations in accordance with their
terms, this Undertaking shall nevertheless be binding on Performance Guarantor. This Undertaking
shall be in addition to any other guaranty or other security for the Guaranteed Obligations, and it
shall not be rendered unenforceable by the invalidity of any such other guaranty or security. In
the event that acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is stayed
upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Originator or AWNA or for any other reason
with respect to any Originator or AWNA, all such amounts then due and owing with respect to the
Guaranteed Obligations under the terms of the Agreements, or any other agreement evidencing,
securing or otherwise executed in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations, shall be immediately
due and payable by Performance Guarantor.
Section 6. Representations and Warranties. Performance Guarantor hereby represents
and warrants to Recipient that:
(a) Existence and Standing. Performance Guarantor is a corporation duly organized,
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its state of incorporation. Performance
Guarantor is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation, and
has and holds all corporate power and all governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and
approvals required to carry on its business in each jurisdiction in which its business is conducted
except where the failure to so qualify or so hold could not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.
(b) Authorization, Execution and Delivery; Binding Effect. The execution and delivery
by Performance Guarantor of this Undertaking, and the performance of its obligations hereunder, are
within its corporate powers and authority and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate
action on its part. This Undertaking has been duly executed and delivered by Performance
Guarantor. This Undertaking constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Performance
Guarantor enforceable against Performance Guarantor in accordance with its terms, except as such
enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar
laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity
(regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).
(c) No Conflict; Government Consent. The execution and delivery by Performance
Guarantor of this Undertaking, and the performance of its obligations hereunder do not contravene
or violate (i) its certificate or articles of incorporation or by-laws, (ii) any law, rule or
regulation applicable to it, (iii) any restrictions under any agreement, contract or instrument to
which it is a party or by which it or any of its property is bound, or (iv) any order, writ,
judgment, award, injunction or decree binding on or affecting it or its property, and do not result
in the creation or imposition of any Adverse Claim on its assets, except, in any case, where such
contravention or violation or Adverse Claim could not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.
Exh XI-4
(d) Financial Statements. The consolidated financial statements of Performance
Guarantor and its consolidated Subsidiaries dated as of December 31, 2005 heretofore delivered to
Recipient have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
consistently applied and fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial
condition and results of operations of Performance Guarantor and its consolidated Subsidiaries as
of such dates and for the periods ended on such date. Since the later of (i) December 31, 2005 and
(ii) the last time this representation was made or deemed made, no event has occurred which would
or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(e) Taxes. Performance Guarantor has filed all United States federal tax returns and
all other tax returns which are required to be filed and have paid all taxes due pursuant to said
returns or pursuant to any assessment received by Performance Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries,
except such taxes, if any, as are being contested in good faith and as to which adequate reserves
have been provided. The United States income tax returns of Performance Guarantor have been
audited by the Internal Revenue Service through the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005. No
federal or state tax liens have been filed and no claims are being asserted with respect to any
such taxes. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of Performance Guarantor in respect of
any taxes or other governmental charges are adequate.
(f) Litigation and Contingent Obligations. Except as disclosed in the filings made by
Performance Guarantor with the Securities and Exchange Commission, there are no actions, suits or
proceedings pending or, to the best of Performance Guarantor’s knowledge, threatened against or
affecting Performance Guarantor or any of its properties, in or before any court, arbitrator or
other body, that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on (i) the
business, properties, condition (financial or otherwise) or results of operations of Performance
Guarantor and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, (ii) the ability of Performance Guarantor to
perform its obligations under this Undertaking, or (iii) the validity or enforceability of any of
this Undertaking or the rights or remedies of Recipient hereunder. Performance Guarantor does not
have any material Contingent Obligations not provided for or disclosed in the financial statements
referred to in Section 6(d).
Section 7. Subrogation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
until the Guaranteed Obligations are paid in full, Performance Guarantor: (a) will not enforce or
otherwise exercise any right of subrogation to any of the rights of Recipient or any of its
assignees against any Originator, (b) hereby waives all rights of subrogation (whether contractual,
under Section 509 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code, at law or in equity or otherwise) to the claims
of Recipient or any of its assignees against any Originator and/or AWNA and all contractual,
statutory or legal or equitable rights of contribution, reimbursement, indemnification and similar
rights and “claims” (as that term is defined in the United States Bankruptcy Code) which
Performance Guarantor might now have or hereafter acquire against any Originator and/or AWNA that
arise from the existence or performance of Performance Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, (c) will
not claim any setoff, recoupment or counterclaim against any Originator and/or AWNA in respect of
any liability of Performance Guarantor to such Originator and/or AWNA and (d) waives any benefit of
and any right to participate in any collateral security which may be held by Recipient or any of
its assigns. The provisions of this Section 7 shall be supplemental to and not in
derogation of any rights and remedies of Recipient under any separate
Exh XI-5
subordination agreement which Recipient may at any time and from time to time enter into with
Performance Guarantor.
Section 8. Termination of Performance Undertaking. Performance Guarantor’s
obligations hereunder shall continue in full force and effect until all Obligations are finally
paid and satisfied in full and the Credit and Security Agreement is terminated, provided that this
Undertaking shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any
time payment or other satisfaction of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must
otherwise be restored or returned upon the bankruptcy, insolvency, or reorganization of any
Originator or AWNA or otherwise, as though such payment had not been made or other satisfaction
occurred, whether or not Recipient (or its assigns) is in possession of this Undertaking. No
invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability by reason of the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any
insolvency or other similar law, or any law or order of any government or agency thereof purporting
to reduce, amend or otherwise affect the Guaranteed Obligations shall impair, affect, be a defense
to or claim against the obligations of Performance Guarantor under this Undertaking.
Section 9. Effect of Bankruptcy. This Performance Undertaking shall survive the
insolvency of any Originator and/or AWNA and the commencement of any case or proceeding by or
against any Originator under the Federal Bankruptcy Code or other federal, state or other
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization statutes. No automatic stay under the Federal
Bankruptcy Code with respect to any Originator and/or AWNA or other federal, state or other
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization statutes to which any Originator is subject
shall postpone the obligations of Performance Guarantor under this Undertaking.
Section 10. Setoff. Regardless of the other means of obtaining payment of any of the
Guaranteed Obligations, Recipient (and its assigns) is hereby authorized at any time and from time
to time, without notice to Performance Guarantor (any such notice being expressly waived by
Performance Guarantor) and to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any
deposits and other sums against the obligations of Performance Guarantor under this Undertaking,
whether or not Recipient (or any such assign) shall have made any demand under this Undertaking and
although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured.
Section 11. Taxes. All payments to be made by Performance Guarantor hereunder shall
be made free and clear of any deduction or withholding. If Performance Guarantor is required by
law to make any deduction or withholding on account of tax or otherwise from any such payment, the
sum due from it in respect of such payment shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure
that, after the making of such deduction or withholding, Recipient receive a net sum equal to the
sum which they would have received had no deduction or withholding been made.
Section 12. Further Assurances. Performance Guarantor agrees that it will from time
to time, at the request of Recipient (or its assigns), provide information relating to the business
and affairs of Performance Guarantor as Recipient may reasonably request. Performance Guarantor
also agrees to do all such things and execute all such documents as Recipient (or its assigns) may
reasonably consider necessary to give full effect to this Undertaking and to preserve the rights
and powers of Recipient hereunder.
Exh XI-6
Section 13. Successors and Assigns. This Performance Undertaking shall be binding
upon Performance Guarantor, its successors and permitted assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of
and be enforceable by Recipient and its successors and assigns. Performance Guarantor may not
assign or transfer any of its obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each of
Recipient and the Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, Recipient may
assign or otherwise transfer the Agreements, any other documents executed in connection therewith
or delivered thereunder or any other agreement or note held by them evidencing, securing or
otherwise executed in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations, or sell participations in any
interest therein, to any other entity or other person, and such other entity or other person shall
thereupon become vested, to the extent set forth in the agreement evidencing such assignment,
transfer or participation, with all the rights in respect thereof granted to Recipient herein and
Recipient hereby notifies Performance Guarantor that, simultaneously herewith, Recipient is
assigning all of its right, title and interest, including, without limitation, its right to enforce
the obligations of Performance Guarantor hereunder, to the Agent.
Section 14. Amendments and Waivers. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this
Undertaking nor consent to any departure by Performance Guarantor therefrom shall be effective
unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Recipient, the Agent and Performance Guarantor.
No failure on the part of Recipient to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder
shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.
Section 15. Notices. All notices and other communications provided for hereunder
shall be made in writing and shall be addressed as follows: if to Performance Guarantor, at the
address set forth beneath its signature hereto, and if to Recipient, at the addresses set forth
beneath its signature hereto, or at such other addresses as each of Performance Guarantor or any
Recipient may designate in writing to the other. Each such notice or other communication shall be
effective (1) if given by telecopy, upon the receipt thereof, (2) if given by mail, three (3)
Business Days after the time such communication is deposited in the mail with first class postage
prepaid or (3) if given by any other means, when received at the address specified in this
Section 15.
Section 16. GOVERNING LAW. THIS UNDERTAKING SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
THE INTERNAL LAWS (AND NOT THE LAW OF CONFLICTS) OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
Section 17. CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. EACH OF PERFORMANCE GUARANTOR AND RECIPIENT
HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY UNITED STATES FEDERAL OR NEW
YORK STATE COURT SITTING IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR
RELATING TO THIS UNDERTAKING, THE AGREEMENTS OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT EXECUTED IN CONNECTION THEREWITH
OR DELIVERED THEREUNDER AND EACH OF THE PERFORMANCE GUARANTOR AND RECIPIENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY
AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN ANY
SUCH COURT AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE AS TO THE VENUE OF ANY
SUCH SUIT,
Exh XI-7
ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT OR THAT SUCH COURT IS AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.
Section 18. Bankruptcy Petition. Performance Guarantor hereby covenants and agrees
that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding
Indebtedness of Recipient, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting
against, Recipient any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation
proceedings or other similar proceeding under the laws of the United States or any state of the
United States.
Section 19. Miscellaneous. This Undertaking constitutes the entire agreement of
Performance Guarantor with respect to the matters set forth herein. The rights and remedies herein
provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law or any other agreement,
and this Undertaking shall be in addition to any other guaranty of or collateral security for any
of the Guaranteed Obligations. The provisions of this Undertaking are severable, and in any action
or proceeding involving any state corporate law, or any state or Federal Bankruptcy Code or any
insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the
obligations of Performance Guarantor hereunder would otherwise be held or determined to be
avoidable, invalid or unenforceable on account of the amount of Performance Guarantor’s liability
under this Undertaking, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Undertaking to the
contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by Performance Guarantor
or Recipient, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and
enforceable as determined in such action or proceeding. Any provisions of this Undertaking which
are prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective
to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions
hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or
render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Unless otherwise specified,
references herein to “Section” shall mean a reference to sections of this Undertaking.
Exh XI-8
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Performance Guarantor has caused this Undertaking to be executed and
delivered as of the date first above written.
