RECEIVABLES SALE AGREEMENT

Receivables Sale Agreement, dated as of December 28, 2004 (this “Agreement”), among USF Finance Company LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as Seller (the “Seller”), USF Corporation, a Delaware corporation, as the Initial Servicer (the “Initial Servicer”), ABN AMRO Bank N.V., as the Windmill Purchaser Agent and as administrative agent for the Purchasers (the “Agent”), the other Purchaser Agents from time to time party hereto, the Related Bank Purchasers from time to time party hereto, Windmill Funding Corporation, as a Conduit Purchaser (“Windmill”), USF Assurance Co. Ltd. (“USF Assurance”) and the other Purchasers from time to time party hereto. Certain capitalized terms used herein, and certain rules of construction, are defined in Schedule I. The Related Bank Purchasers/Liquidity Banks for each Uncommitted Conduit Purchaser and each Committed Purchaser and their Commitments and the Purchaser Group Limits for each Purchaser Group are listed on Schedule II.

The parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

PURCHASES FROM SELLER AND SETTLEMENTS

Section 1.1 Sales.

(a) The Sold Interest. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Seller may, from time to time before the Termination Date, request that one or more Purchasers (or, in the case of an Uncommitted Purchaser, only if such Uncommitted Purchaser denies such request or is unable to fund, request that the Related Bank Purchasers, if any, for such Uncommitted Purchaser) make purchases of an undivided percentage ownership interest in the Receivables and all related Collections. Upon any such request, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (i) the Uncommitted Purchasers may, in their sole discretion, purchase such interest, or, if any such Uncommitted Purchaser decides not to purchase such interest, the Related Bank Purchasers, if any, of such Uncommitted Purchaser shall purchase such interest, and (ii) the Committed Purchasers shall purchase such interest.

Such interest shall be transferred to the Agent, as representative of the applicable Purchaser. Any such purchase (a “Purchase") shall be made by each relevant Purchaser remitting funds to the Agent’s Account, pursuant to Section 1.1(c) or by the Servicer remitting Collections to the Seller pursuant to Section 1.1(d). The aggregate percentage ownership interest so acquired by a Purchaser in the Receivables and related Collections (its “Purchase Interest") shall equal at any time the following quotient:

I + PR

NRB

where:


		I		=		the outstanding Investment of such Purchaser at such time;

Except during a Liquidation Period for a Purchaser, such Purchaser’s Purchase Interest will change whenever its Investment, its Purchaser Reserve or the Net Receivables Balance changes. During a Liquidation Period for a Purchaser its Purchase Interest shall remain constant, except for redeterminations to reflect Investment acquired from or transferred to a Purchaser under Article II. The sum of all Purchasers’ Purchase Interests at any time is referred to herein as the “Sold Interest”, which at any time is the aggregate percentage ownership interest then held by the Purchasers in the Receivables and Collections.

(b) Uncommitted Purchaser Purchase Option and Committed Conduit Purchaser Commitments. Subject to Section 1.1(d) concerning Reinvestment Purchases, at no time will an Uncommitted Purchaser have any obligation to make a Purchase. Each Committed Purchaser severally hereby agrees, subject to Section 7.2 and the other terms and conditions hereof, to make Purchases before the Termination Date, to the extent (i) its Investment would not thereby exceed its Commitment, (ii) the sum of all Investments of Purchasers in its Purchaser Group would not thereby exceed the applicable Group Limit, (iii) the Aggregate Investment would not thereby exceed the Purchase Limit, and (iv) the Matured Aggregate Investment would not thereby exceed the Aggregate Commitments. The first Purchase and each additional Purchase not made from Collections pursuant to Section 1.1(d) is referred to herein as an “Incremental Purchase.” Each Purchase made by a Purchaser with the proceeds of Collections in which it has a Purchase Interest, which does not increase the outstanding Investment of such Purchaser, is referred to herein as a “Reinvestment Purchase.”

(c) Incremental Purchases. In order to request an Incremental Purchase from a Purchaser (including any Incremental Purchase the proceeds of which will be used to make a Repurchase from any Purchaser pursuant to Section 1.9), the Seller must provide to such Purchaser or, if applicable, the related Purchaser Agent an irrevocable written request (including by telecopier or other facsimile communication) substantially in the form of Exhibit A, by 10:00 a.m. (Chicago time) three Business Days before the requested date (the “Purchase Date”) of such Purchase, specifying (i) the requested Purchase Date (which must be a Business Day), (ii) the requested amount (the “Purchase Amount”) of such Purchase, which must be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 and multiples thereof (or, if less, an amount equal to the Maximum Incremental Purchase Amount) and such Purchaser’s Percentage Factor which shall exist immediately following the consummation of such sale. Each Purchaser Agent shall promptly notify the related Purchasers from which a Purchase is requested of the contents of such request. If a portion of an Incremental Purchase is requested from an Uncommitted Purchaser and such Uncommitted Purchaser determines, in its sole discretion, to make the requested portion of such Incremental Purchase, such Uncommitted Purchaser shall transfer to the Agent’s Account its requested Purchase Amount by no later than 12:00 noon (Chicago time) on the Purchase Date. If a portion of an Incremental Purchase is requested from a Committed Purchaser or the Related Bank Purchasers for a Purchaser Group, subject to Section 7.2 and the other terms and conditions hereof, such Committed Purchaser or such Related Bank Purchasers for a Purchaser Group shall transfer its requested Purchase Amount into the Agent’s Account by no later than 12:00 noon

(Chicago time) on the Purchase Date. The Agent shall promptly transfer to the Seller Account the proceeds of any Incremental Purchase delivered into the Agent’s Account.

(d) Reinvestment Purchases. Unless an Uncommitted Purchaser has provided to the Agent, its Purchaser Agent, the Seller, and the Servicer a notice (which notice shall be delivered not less than one Business Day prior to the cessation of Reinvestment Purchases) still in effect that it no longer wishes to make Reinvestment Purchases (in which case such Uncommitted Purchaser’s Reinvestment Purchases, but not those of its Related Bank Purchasers, if any, or any Committed Purchaser, shall cease), at any time before the Termination Date when no Interim Liquidation is in effect, then on each day that any Collections are received by the Servicer a Purchaser’s Purchase Interest in such Collections shall automatically be used to make a Reinvestment Purchase by such Purchaser, but only to the extent such Reinvestment Purchase would not cause such Purchaser’s Investment to increase above the amount of such Investment at the start of the day plus any Incremental Purchases made by such Purchaser on that day. An Uncommitted Purchaser may revoke any notice provided under the first sentence of this Section 1.1(d) by notifying the Agent, its Purchaser Agent, the Seller, and the Servicer that it will make Reinvestment Purchases. If at any time any Uncommitted Purchaser other than USF Assurance delivers a notice that it no longer wishes to make Reinvestment Purchases pursuant to this Section 1.1(d) and USF Assurance then, or at any time during the related Liquidation Period, holds any Investment, then USF Assurance shall be deemed to have delivered the same notice at the same time and Reinvestment Purchases shall cease for such Uncommitted Purchaser and USF Assurance at the same time and for the same period. USF Assurance may not revoke any such notice deemed to have been given pursuant to the preceding sentence until such time as the Uncommitted Purchaser which gave the notice pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 1.1(d) has revoked its notice.

(e) Security Interest. To secure all of the Seller’s obligations under the Transaction Documents, the Seller hereby grants to the Agent (for the benefit of the Purchasers) a security interest in all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under all Receivables now existing and hereafter arising, all Collections, the Lock-Box Accounts, the Lock-Boxes, the Purchase Agreement, and all proceeds of the foregoing.

(f) Calculation of Percentage Factor. The Percentage Factor represented by each Purchase Interest shall be recomputed or deemed recomputed as of the opening of business of the Servicer on each Business Day. Each such Percentage Factor shall remain constant from the time as of which any such recomputation is made or deemed made until the time as of which the next such recomputation if any, shall be made or deemed made. The Percentage Factor represented by any Purchase Interest, as recomputed or deemed recomputed as of the Business Day immediately preceding the Termination Date, shall remain constant at all times on and after the Termination Date. Such Percentage Factor shall become zero only at such time as all Investment and all other amounts due to the Purchasers shall have been reduced to zero. The Servicer shall at all times maintain information sufficient to make the foregoing recomputations and deemed recomputations.

Section 1.2 Interim Liquidations

(a) Optional. The Servicer may at any time direct that Reinvestment Purchases cease and that an Interim Liquidation commence for any Purchaser by giving the Agent and each Purchaser Agent, at least three (3) Business Days written (including telecopy or other facsimile communication) notice specifying the date on which the Interim Liquidation shall commence and, if desired, when such Interim Liquidation shall cease before the Termination Date (identified as a specific date or as when the Aggregate Investment is reduced to a specified amount). The Servicer may not direct that an Interim Liquidation commence with respect to any Purchaser unless the Servicer shall have delivered the Certification required by Section 7.2 (e). If the Servicer does not so specify the date on which an Interim Liquidation shall cease, it may cause such Interim Liquidation to cease at any time before the Termination Date, subject to Section 1.2(b) below, by notifying the Agent and the related Purchaser Agent in writing (including by telecopy or other facsimile communication) at least three (3) Business Days before the date on which it desires such Interim Liquidation to cease; provided that the Servicer shall not cause any Interim Liquidation to cease if the requirement of Section 7.2(e)(iv) would not be satisfied as a result thereof.

(b) Mandatory. If at any time before the Termination Date any condition in Section 7.2 is not fulfilled, the Servicer shall immediately notify the Agent and each Purchaser Agent, whereupon Reinvestment Purchases shall cease and an Interim Liquidation shall commence, which shall only cease upon the Servicer confirming to the Agent that the conditions in Section 7.2 are fulfilled.

Section 1.3 Selection of Discount Rates and Tranche Periods. (a) All Investment of each Purchaser Group shall be allocated to one or more Tranches reflecting the Discount Rates at which such Investment accrues Discount and the Tranche Periods for which such Discount Rates apply. Not later than (1) concurrently with any request for an Incremental Purchase from the Related Bank Purchasers and USF Assurance, (2) 3:00 p.m., Chicago time, one Business Day prior to the expiration of any Tranche Period applicable to any Investment of each Related Bank Purchaser or USF Assurance if the requested Tranche Period is a Prime Tranche and (3) 10:00 a.m., Chicago time, two Business Days prior to the expiration of any Tranche Period applicable to any Investment of each Related Bank Purchaser if the requested Tranche Period is a Eurodollar Tranche, the Seller may select the Discount Rate(s) and Tranche Period(s) to be applicable to such Investment. All Investment (i) of each Conduit Purchaser shall, and USF Assurance may, accrue Discount at the CP Rate and (ii) of the Related Bank Purchasers and USF Assurance may accrue Discount at either the Eurodollar Rate or the Prime Rate, in all cases as established for each Tranche Period applicable to such Investment. Each Tranche shall be in the minimum amount of $100,000 and in multiples thereof or, in the case of Discount accruing at the Prime Rate, in any amount of Investment that otherwise has not been allocated to another Tranche Period. Any Investment of each Purchaser Group not allocated to a Tranche Period shall accrue Discount at the Prime Rate. During the continuance of a Termination Event, any outstanding Investment of any Purchaser Group shall accrue Discount at the greater of the Eurodollar Rate and the Prime Rate. On each Settlement Date, the Seller shall pay to the Agent (for the benefit of each Conduit Purchaser and, if USF Assurance’s Investment is accruing Discount at the CP Rate, USF Assurance) an aggregate amount equal to all accrued and unpaid Discount in respect of the Investment of such Purchaser for the immediately preceding Discount Period. All Discount accrued during a

Tranche Period for a Related Bank Purchaser or USF Assurance shall be paid by the Seller to the Agent (for the benefit of the Related Bank Purchasers and USF Assurance) on the last day of such Tranche Period or, for a Eurodollar Tranche with a Tranche Period of more than three months, 90 days after the commencement, and on the last day, of such Tranche Period.

(b) If, by the time required in Section 1.3(a), the Seller fails to select a Tranche Period for any Investment of any Purchaser Group, the related Purchaser Agent may, in its sole discretion, select such Tranche Period. If, by the time required in Section 1.3(a), the Seller fails to select a Discount Rate or Tranche Period for any Investment of the Related Bank Purchasers, such amount of Investment shall automatically accrue Discount at the Prime Rate for a three Business Day Tranche Period. Any Investment purchased from a Conduit Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.1 shall have a Tranche Period of three Business Days and shall accrue Discount at the Prime Rate.

(c) If any Related Bank Purchaser determines (i) that maintenance of any Eurodollar Tranche would violate any applicable law or regulation or (ii) that deposits of a type and maturity appropriate to match fund any of such Related Bank Purchaser’s Eurodollar Tranches are not available, then the Agent, upon the direction of such Related Bank Purchaser, shall suspend the availability of, and terminate any outstanding, Eurodollar Tranche so affected. All Investment allocated to any such terminated Eurodollar Tranche shall be reallocated to a Prime Tranche.

Section 1.4 Fees and Other Costs and Expenses. (a) The Seller shall pay to each Purchaser Agent for the benefit of its Purchaser Group, such amounts as agreed to with the Seller in the Fee Letter for such Purchaser Group.

(b) If the amount of Investment of any Purchaser Group allocated to any CP Tranche or Eurodollar Tranche is reduced before the last day of its Tranche Period, or if a requested Incremental Purchase at the Eurodollar Rate does not take place on its scheduled Purchase Date, the Seller shall pay the Early Payment Fee to each Purchaser in the applicable Purchaser Group that had its Investment so reduced or scheduled Purchase not made.

(c) Investment shall be payable solely from Collections and from amounts payable under Sections 1.1(c) (to the extent such Incremental Purchase is made in connection with any Repurchase and the proceeds thereof are applied in accordance with Section 1.9), 1.5, 1.7 and 6.1 (to the extent amounts paid under Section 6.1 indemnify against reductions in or non-payment of Receivables) or from other amounts available to the Seller. The Seller shall pay, as a full recourse obligation, all other amounts payable hereunder and under the Fee Letters, including all Discount, fees described in clauses (a) and (b) above and amounts payable under Article VI.

Section 1.5 Maintenance of Sold Interest; Deemed Collection.

(a) General. If at any time before the Termination Date, the Net Receivables Balance is less than the sum of the Aggregate Investment (or, if a Termination Event exists, the Matured Aggregate Investment) plus the Reserve, the Seller shall promptly (but not later than three Business Days after the Seller becomes aware of such condition) pay to the Agent an amount equal to such deficiency for application to reduce the Investments of the Purchasers ratably in accordance with the principal amount of their respective Investments, applied pro rata among the

outstanding Tranches. Any amount so applied to reduce Windmill’s Investment shall be deposited in the Special Transaction Subaccount.

(b) Deemed Collections. If on any day the outstanding balance of a Receivable is reduced or cancelled as a result of any defective or rejected services, any cash discount or adjustment (including as a result of the application of any special refund or other discounts or any reconciliation), any setoff or credit (whether such claim or credit arises out of the same, a related, or an unrelated transaction) or other similar reason not arising from the financial inability of the Obligor to pay undisputed indebtedness, the Seller shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection on such Receivable in the amount of such reduction or cancellation. If any representation, warranty or covenant of the Seller related to a Receivable set forth in Section 4.1(e), (f), (j), or (l) or Section 5.1(g), (h) or (i) is not true or is not satisfied, the Seller shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection in the amount of the outstanding balance of such Receivable. All such Collections deemed received by the Seller under this Section 1.5(b) shall be remitted by the Seller to the Servicer in accordance with Section 5.1(i).

(c) Adjustment to Sold Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time before the Termination Date that the Seller is deemed to have received any Collection under Section 1.5(b) (“Deemed Collections”) that derive from a Receivable that is otherwise reported as an Eligible Receivable, so long as no Liquidation Period then exists (unless such Liquidation Period only applies to an Uncommitted Purchaser pursuant to Section 1.1(d)), the Seller may satisfy its obligation to deliver such amount to the Servicer by instead notifying the Agent that the Sold Interest should be recalculated by decreasing the Net Receivables Balance by the amount of such Deemed Collections, so long as such adjustment does not cause the Sold Interest to exceed 100%.

(d) Payment Assumption. Unless an Obligor otherwise specifies (by reference to a particular invoice or otherwise) or another application is required by contract or law, any payment received by the Seller from any Obligor shall be applied as a Collection of Receivables of such Obligor (starting with the oldest such Receivable) and remitted to the Servicer as such.

Section 1.6 Reduction in Commitments. The Seller may, upon five (5) days’ notice to the Agent and each Purchaser Agent, reduce the Aggregate Commitment in increments of $1,000,000, so long as the Aggregate Commitment at all times equals at least the outstanding Matured Aggregate Investments of all Purchaser Groups. Each such reduction in the Aggregate Commitment shall ratably reduce the Commitment of each Committed Purchaser and shall ratably reduce the Purchase Limit and Group Limits of all Purchaser Groups that include Committed Purchasers so that (i) the Commitments of the Related Bank Purchasers of each Purchaser Group remains at least 102% of the Group Limit for such Purchaser Group, (ii) the Group Limit for each Purchaser Group is not less than the sum of the Investments of Purchasers in such Purchaser Group, and (iii) the Purchase Limit is not less then the outstanding Aggregate Investment. The Group Limit for the USF Assurance Purchaser Group shall be reduced such that it shall equal the aggregate of the Group Limits for all other Purchaser Groups.

Section 1.7 Optional Repurchases. At any time that the Aggregate Investment is less than 10% of the Aggregate Commitment in effect on the date hereof, the Initial Servicer may, upon five (5) days’ notice to the Agent and each Purchaser Agent, purchase the entire Sold Interest from the Purchasers at a price equal to the outstanding Matured Aggregate Investment and all other amounts then owed hereunder.

Section 1.8 Assignment of Purchase Agreement. The Seller hereby assigns and otherwise transfers to the Agent (for the benefit of the Agent, each Purchaser Agent, each Purchaser and any other Person to whom any amount is owed hereunder), all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Purchase Agreement. The Seller shall file and record all financing statements, continuation statements and other documents required to perfect or protect such assignment. This assignment includes (a) all monies due and to become due to the Seller from any Originator under or in connection with the Purchase Agreement (including fees, expenses, costs, indemnities and damages for the breach of any obligation or representation related to either such agreement) and (b) all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims of the Seller against any Originator under or in connection with the Purchase Agreement. All provisions of the Purchase Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and may be relied upon by, the Agent, each Purchaser Agent, each Purchaser and each such other Person. At any time after a Servicer Replacement Event or Termination Event, the Agent shall have the sole right to enforce the Seller’s rights and remedies under the Purchase Agreement to the same extent as the Seller could absent this assignment, but without any obligation on the part of the Agent, any Purchaser Agent, any Purchaser or any other such Person to perform any of the obligations of the Seller under the Purchase Agreement (or any of the promissory notes executed thereunder). All amounts distributed to the Seller under the Purchase Agreement from Receivables sold to the Seller thereunder shall constitute Collections hereunder and shall be applied in accordance herewith.

Section 1.9 Repurchases. (a) So long as no Potential Termination Event or Termination Event shall have occurred or shall result therefrom and subject to the conditions precedent set forth in Section 7.2, USF Assurance may require that the Seller repurchase all or any portion of its Purchase Interest (a “USF Assurance Repurchase”) upon at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Agent, the Purchaser Agents, the Seller and the Servicer indicating the amount of the USF Assurance Repurchase and the date of such requested USF Assurance Repurchase. The Seller shall request an Incremental Purchase from one or more other Purchasers in the aggregate amount of such Repurchase in accordance with Section 1.1(c) in order to make such USF Assurance Repurchase and the Seller shall use the proceeds of any such Incremental Purchase to make such USF Assurance Repurchase. The Seller shall not be required to make any USF Assurance Repurchase, if after giving effect thereto and any related Incremental Purchases, the Coverage Ratio shall exceed 100% or if the conditions precedent set forth in Section 7.2 related to such Repurchase or related Incremental Purchase are not satisfied.

(b) So long as no Potential Termination Event or Termination Event shall have occurred and subject to the conditions precedent set forth in Section 7.2, the Seller may repurchase all or any portion of any Purchaser’s Purchase Interest (a “Seller Repurchase”) upon at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Agent, the Purchaser Agents, the

Seller and the Servicer indicating the amount of the Seller Repurchase and the date of such requested Seller Repurchase. The Seller may request an Incremental Purchase from one or more other Purchasers in the aggregate amount of such Repurchase in accordance with Section 1.1(c) in order to make such Seller Repurchase and, if an Incremental Purchase is so requested, the Seller shall use the proceeds of any such Incremental Purchase to make such Seller Repurchase. The Seller shall not make any Seller Repurchase, if after giving effect thereto and any related Incremental Purchases, the Coverage Ratio shall exceed 100% or if the conditions precedent set forth in Section 7.2 related to such Repurchase or related Incremental Purchase are not satisfied.

ARTICLE II

SALES TO AND PURCHASES FROM WINDMILL; ALLOCATIONS

Section 2.1 Required Purchases from Windmill. (a) Windmill may, at any time, and on the earlier of the Termination Date and ten Business Days following the Agent and Windmill learning of a continuing Termination Event, Windmill shall, sell to its Committed Purchasers pursuant to the Windmill Transfer Agreement any percentage designated by Windmill of Windmill’s Investment and its related Windmill Settlement (each, a “Put”).

(b) Any portion of Windmill’s Investment and related Windmill Settlement purchased by a Committed Purchaser shall be considered part of such Purchaser’s Investment and related Windmill Settlement from the date of the relevant Put. Immediately upon any purchase by its Committed Purchasers of any portion of Windmill’s Investment, the Seller shall pay to the Agent (for the ratable benefit of such Purchasers) an amount equal to the sum of (i) the assigned Windmill Settlement and (ii) all unpaid Discount owed to Windmill (whether or not then due) to the end of each applicable Tranche Period to which any Investment being Put has been allocated, (iii) all accrued but unpaid fees (whether or not then due) payable to Windmill in connection herewith at the time of such purchase and (iv) all accrued and unpaid costs, expenses and indemnities due to Windmill from the Seller in connection herewith.

(c) The proceeds from each Put received by Windmill (other than, if applicable, amounts described in clauses (iii) and (iv) of the last sentence of Section 2.1(b)), shall be transferred into the Special Transaction Subaccount and used solely to pay that portion of the outstanding commercial paper of Windmill issued to fund or maintain the Investment of Windmill so transferred. Until used to pay Windmill’s commercial paper notes, all proceeds of any Put pursuant to this Section shall be invested in Permitted Investments. All earnings on such Permitted Investments shall be promptly remitted to the Seller.

Section 2.2 Purchases by Windmill. If the Seller requests an increase in Windmill’s Investment when any Windmill Committed Purchaser has any outstanding Investment, Windmill shall determine the amount, if any, by which it desires to increase its Investment (the “Desired Increase”) and shall so notify the Windmill Purchaser Agent. If Windmill has a Desired Increase, the Windmill Purchaser Agent shall deliver to the Windmill Committed Purchasers a notification of assignment in substantially the form of Exhibit C and, before purchasing any additional Investment from the Seller, Windmill shall purchase in full the Investment of the Windmill Committed Purchasers, at a purchase price equal to such Investment plus accrued and unpaid Discount thereon. As a condition to any such sale of

Investment by Windmill Committed Purchasers to Windmill, the Seller must pay the Early Payment Fee then owed to such Windmill Committed Purchasers. Any sale from any Windmill Committed Purchaser to Windmill pursuant to this Section 2.2 shall be without recourse, representation or warranty except for the representation and warranty that the Investment sold by such Windmill Committed Purchaser is free and clear of any Adverse Claim created or granted by such Windmill Committed Purchaser and that such Windmill Committed Purchaser has not suffered a Bankruptcy Event.

Section 2.3 Allocations and Distributions.

(a) Non-Reinvestment Periods. Before the Termination Date unless an Interim Liquidation is in effect, on each day during a period that an Uncommitted Purchaser is not making Reinvestment Purchases (as established under Section 1.1(d)), the Servicer (i) shall set aside and hold solely for the benefit of the applicable Uncommitted Purchaser (or deliver to the applicable Purchaser Agent, if so instructed pursuant to Section 3.2(a)) such Uncommitted Purchaser’s Purchase Interest in all Collections received on such day and (ii) shall distribute on the last day of each Tranche Period to which such Uncommitted Purchaser’s Investment has been allocated to the applicable Purchaser Agent (for the benefit of such Uncommitted Purchaser) the amounts so set aside up to the amount of such Uncommitted Purchaser’s Purchase Amount and, to the extent not already paid in full, all Discount thereon and all other amounts then due from the Seller in connection with such Purchase Amount and the applicable Tranche Period. Prior to the occurrence of the Servicer Replacement Event, it is understood and agreed that amounts set aside and held for the benefit of an Uncommitted Purchaser as provided in the first sentence of this section need not be segregated from other funds of the Seller or the Servicer.

(b) Interim Liquidations. On each day during any Interim Liquidation with respect to any Purchaser, the Servicer shall set aside and hold solely for the account of the related Purchaser Agent, for the benefit of such Purchaser, to the extent provided below (or deliver to such Purchaser Agent, if so instructed pursuant to Section 3.2(a)) and for the account of the Agent, all Collections received on such day and such portion of Collections shall be allocated as follows:

ARTICLE III

ADMINISTRATION AND COLLECTIONS

Section 3.1 Appointment of Servicer. (a) The servicing, administering and collecting of the Receivables shall be conducted by a Person (the “Servicer”) designated to so act on behalf of the Purchasers under this Article III. As the Initial Servicer, the Parent is hereby designated as, and agrees to perform the duties and obligations of, the Servicer. The Initial Servicer acknowledges that the Agent, each Purchaser Agent and each Purchaser have relied on the Initial Servicer’s agreement to act as Servicer (and the agreement of any of the sub-servicers to so act) in making the decision to execute and deliver this Agreement and agrees that it will not voluntarily resign as Servicer nor permit any sub-servicer to voluntarily resign as a sub-servicer. At any time after the occurrence of a Servicer Replacement Event, the Agent may designate a new Servicer to succeed the Initial Servicer (or any successor Servicer).

(b) The Initial Servicer may delegate its duties and obligations as Servicer to any Affiliate (acting as a sub-servicer). Notwithstanding such delegation, the Initial Servicer shall remain primarily liable for the performance of the duties and obligations so delegated, and the Agent, each Purchaser Agent and each Purchaser shall have the right to look solely to the Initial Servicer for such performance. The Agent (with the consent of the Instructing Group) may at any time after the occurrence of a Servicer Replacement Event remove or replace any sub-servicer.

(c) If replaced, the Servicer agrees it will terminate, and will cause each existing sub-servicer to terminate, its collection activities in a manner requested by the Agent to facilitate the transition to a new Servicer. The Servicer shall cooperate with and assist any new Servicer in assuming the obligation to service the Receivables, including all reasonable efforts to provide, or cause to be provided to, the new Servicer with access to all software programs of the Servicer or any sub-servicer necessary or desirable to collect the Receivables. For a sixty day period after the appointment of a new Servicer, at the expense of the Initial Servicer, the Initial Servicer irrevocably agrees to act (if requested to do so) as the data-processing agent for any new Servicer in substantially the same manner as the Initial Servicer conducted such data-processing functions while it acted as the Servicer.

Section 3.2 Duties of Servicer. (a) The Servicer shall take, or cause to be taken, all action necessary or advisable to collect each Receivable in accordance with this Agreement, the applicable Credit and Collection Policy and all applicable laws, rules and regulations using the skill and attention the Servicer exercises in collecting other receivables or obligations owed solely to it. The Servicer may, prior to the occurrence of a Termination Event, commingle Collections with its other funds until such amounts are required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.3. If so instructed by a Purchaser Agent following the occurrence of a Servicer Replacement Event, the Servicer shall transfer to the Agent the amount of Collections to which each Purchaser Group is entitled by the Business Day following receipt. Each party hereto hereby appoints the Servicer to enforce such Person’s rights and interests in the Receivables. The Servicer shall be entitled to commence or settle any legal action to enforce the collection of any Receivable; provided that during the continuance of a Termination Event, the Agent shall have the right to approve any such settlement. If at any time during the continuance of a Termination Event, the Agent notifies the Servicer that the Agent believes litigation would be an appropriate means to collect any Receivable, and the Servicer declines to initiate such litigation after good faith discussion with the Agent, the Agent shall be entitled to notify the Obligor on such Receivable of the assignment of an interest therein to the Agent and to initiate litigation with respect thereto in the name of the Purchasers.

(b) If no Termination Event exists and the Servicer determines that such action is appropriate in order to maximize the Collections, the Servicer may, in accordance with the applicable Credit and Collection Policy, extend the maturity of any Receivable (but no such extension shall be for a period more than thirty (30) days or adjust the outstanding balance of any Receivable. Any such extension or adjustment shall not alter the status of a Receivable as a Defaulted Receivable or limit any rights of the Agent, any Purchaser Agent or the Purchasers hereunder. If a Termination Event exists, the Servicer may make such extensions or adjustments only with the prior consent of the Instructing Group.

(c) Prior to an Interim Liquidation or the Termination Date, the Servicer shall turn over to the Seller (i) any percentage of Collections in excess of the Sold Interest, less all reasonable costs and expenses of the Servicer for servicing, collecting and administering the Receivables and (ii) subject to Section 1.5(d), the collections and records for any indebtedness owed to the Seller that is not a Receivable. The Servicer shall have no obligation to remit any such funds or records to the Seller until the Servicer receives evidence (satisfactory to the Agent) that the Seller is entitled to such items. The Servicer has no obligations concerning indebtedness

that is not a Receivable other than to deliver the collections and records for such indebtedness to the Seller when required by this Section 3.2(c).

(d) The Servicer shall take all actions necessary to cause the Seller to comply with its obligations under Section 5.1(g) to take all actions necessary to maintain vested in the Agent a valid perfected security interest in the Receivables, the Collections, the Lock-Boxes, the Lock-Box Accounts, the Purchase Agreement and the proceeds thereof; provided that the Servicer shall not be required to cause the interest in the Lock-Box Accounts to be perfected through the execution of the Lock-Box Agreements until the date that is 45 days after the Closing Date.

Section 3.3 Reports. On or before the eighteenth (18^th) day of each calendar month or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day (or, (i) weekly, if the Servicer’s long-term unsecured debt rating has been reduced below (A) BBB- and Baa3 by S&P and Moody’s, respectively, or (B) BBB- or Baa3 by S&P or Moody’s respectively, if the difference in the long-term unsecured debt rating of S&P and Xxxxx’x is more than one notch, or (ii) daily, if the Servicer’s long-term unsecured debt rating has been reduced below (A) BB and Ba2 by S&P and Moody’s, respectively, or (B) BB or Ba2 by S&P or Moody’s, respectively, if the difference in the long-term unsecured debt rating of S&P and Xxxxx’x is more than one notch), the Servicer shall deliver to the Agent and each Purchaser Agent a report reflecting information as of the close of business of the Servicer for the immediately preceding Fiscal Month or such other preceding period as is requested (each a “Periodic Report”), containing the information described on Exhibit D (with such modifications or additional information as reasonably requested by the Agent or the Instructing Group).

Section 3.4 Lock-Box Arrangements. The Agent is hereby authorized to give notice at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Termination Event to any or all Lock-Box Banks that the Agent is exercising its rights under the Lock-Box Agreements and to take all actions permitted under the Lock-Box Agreements. The Seller agrees to take any action requested by the Agent to facilitate the foregoing. After the Agent takes any such action under the Lock-Box Agreements, the Servicer and the Seller shall immediately deliver to the Agent any Collections received by the Servicer or the Seller. Should the Agent receive written notice (together with satisfactory proof) that amounts it has previously received are not Collections, it shall remit such amounts to the Seller promptly after receiving such notice and proof. If the Agent takes control of any Lock-Box Account, the Agent shall distribute, Collections it receives in accordance with Section 2.3 and shall deliver to the Servicer, for distribution under Section 3.2, all other amounts it receives from such Lock-Box Account.

Section 3.5 Enforcement Rights. (a) The Agent may, at any time after the occurrence of a Termination Event, direct the Lock-Box Banks to make all payments on the Receivables directly to the Agent or its designee. The Agent may, at any time after the occurrence of a Servicer Replacement Event, direct the Obligors to make all payments on the Receivables directly to the Agent or its assignee. The Agent may, and the Seller shall at the Agent’s request, withhold the identity of the Purchasers from the Obligors and Lock-Box Banks. Upon the Agent’s request, Seller and the Servicer (at their expense) shall (i) following a Servicer Replacement Event, (A) give notice to each Obligor of the Agent’s ownership of the Sold Interest and direct that payments on Receivables be made directly to the Agent or its designee

and (B) use all reasonable efforts to transfer (or cause to be transferred) to the Agent (or its designee) licenses for the use of, all software useful to collect the Receivables and (ii) following a Termination Event (A) assemble for the Agent all Records and collateral security for the Receivables, and (B) segregate in a manner acceptable to the Agent all Collections the Servicer or the Seller receives and, promptly upon receipt, remit such Collections in the form received, duly endorsed or with duly executed instruments of transfer, to the Agent or its designee.

(b) Upon the occurrence of a Termination Event, the Servicer shall segregate Collections from other funds of the Seller and hold such amounts for the Agent (for the benefit of the Purchasers). Upon the occurrence of a Termination Event, the Seller hereby irrevocably appoints the Agent as its attorney-in-fact coupled with an interest, with full power of substitution and with full authority in the place of the Seller, to take any and all steps deemed desirable by the Agent, in the name and on behalf of the Seller to (i) collect any amounts due under any Receivable, including endorsing the name of the Seller on checks and other instruments representing Collections and enforcing such Receivables, and (ii) exercise any and all of the Seller’s rights and remedies under the Purchase Agreement. The Agent’s powers under this Section 3.5(b) shall not subject the Agent to any liability if any action taken by it proves to be inadequate or invalid, nor shall such powers confer any obligation whatsoever upon the Agent.

(c) None of the Agent, any Purchaser Agent or any Purchaser shall have any obligation to take or consent to any action to realize upon any Receivable or to enforce any rights or remedies related thereto.

Section 3.6 Servicer Fee. On each Settlement Date, the Seller shall pay to the Servicer a fee for the immediately preceding Fiscal Month as compensation for its services (the “Servicer Fee”) equal to (a) at all times the Seller or an Affiliate thereof is the Servicer, 1.0% times the weighted average aggregate outstanding balance of all Receivables during such Fiscal Month, payable monthly (or such other commercially reasonable rate agreed to between the Seller and the Servicer), and (b) at all times any other Person is the Servicer, a reasonable amount agreed upon by the Agent (with the consent of the Instructing Group) and the new Servicer on an arm’s-length basis reflecting rates and terms prevailing in the market at such time. The Servicer may only apply to payment of the Servicer Fee the portion of the Collections in excess of the Sold Interest or Collections that fund Reinvestment Purchases. The Agent may, with the consent of the Instructing Group, pay the Servicer Fee to the Servicer from the Sold Interest in Collections. The Seller shall be obligated to reimburse any such payment to the extent required by Section 1.5 or 2.3.

Section 3.7 Responsibilities of the Seller. The Seller shall, or shall cause the Originators to, pay when due all Taxes payable in connection with the applicable Receivables or their creation or satisfaction. The Seller shall, and shall cause the Originators to, perform all of their respective obligations under agreements related to the Receivables to the same extent as if interests in the Receivables had not been transferred hereunder or, in the case of any Originator, under the related Purchase Agreement. The Agent’s, any Purchaser Agent’s or any Purchaser’s exercise of any rights hereunder shall not relieve the Seller or any Originator from such obligations. None of the Agent, any Purchaser Agent or any Purchaser shall have

any obligation to perform any obligation of the Seller or of any Originator or any other obligation or liability in connection with the Receivables.

Section 3.8 [Reserved].

Section 3.9 Indemnities by the Servicer. Without limiting any other rights any such Person may have hereunder or under applicable law, the Servicer hereby indemnifies and holds harmless, on an after-Tax basis, the Agent, each Purchaser Agent and each Purchaser and their respective officers, directors, agents and employees (each an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all damages, losses, claims, liabilities, penalties, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and court costs) (all of the foregoing collectively, the “Indemnified Losses”) at any time imposed on or incurred by any Indemnified Party arising out of or otherwise relating to:

(i) any representation or warranty made by the Servicer (or any employee or agent of the Servicer) in this Agreement, any other Transaction Document, any Periodic Report or any other information or report delivered by the Servicer pursuant hereto, which shall have been false or incorrect in any material respect when made (including, without limitation, the representations made pursuant to Section 7.2(e));

(ii) the failure by the Servicer to comply with any applicable law, rule or regulation related to any Receivable, or the nonconformity of any Receivable with any such applicable law, rule or regulation as the result of any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Servicer;

(iii) any failure of the Agent (for the benefit of itself, the Purchasers and the Purchaser Agents) to have a perfected ownership or security interest in the Sold Interest, and the property conveyed pursuant to Section 1.1(e) and Section 1.8, free and clear of any Adverse Claim as the result of any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Servicer;

(iv) any failure of the Servicer, to perform its duties or obligations in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which the Servicer is a party; or

(v) any commingling by the Servicer of funds to which the Agent, any Purchaser Agent or any Purchaser is entitled hereunder with any other funds;

whether arising by reason of the acts to be performed by the Servicer hereunder or otherwise, excluding only Indemnified Losses to the extent (a) such Indemnified Losses resulted solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Party seeking indemnification, or (b) such Indemnified Losses resulted due to Receivables being uncollectible on account of the insolvency, bankruptcy or lack of creditworthiness of the related Obligor; provided, however, that nothing contained in this sentence shall limit the liability of the Servicer or limit the recourse of the Agent, any Purchaser Agent and each Purchaser to the Servicer for any amounts otherwise specifically provided to be paid by the Servicer hereunder.

Without limiting the foregoing indemnification, but subject to the limitations set forth in clauses (a), (b) or (c) of the previous sentence, the Seller shall indemnify each Indemnified Party for Indemnified Losses (including losses in respect of uncollectible Receivables, regardless for these specific matters whether reimbursement therefor would constitute recourse to the Seller or the Servicer) relating to or resulting from:

(i) any representation or warranty made by the Seller (or any employee or agent of the Seller) under or in connection with any Transaction Document, any Periodic Report or any other information or report delivered by the Seller pursuant hereto, which shall have been false or incorrect in any material respect when made or deemed made (including, without limitation, the representations made pursuant to Section 7.2(e));

(ii) the failure by the Seller or the Servicer to comply with any applicable law, rule or regulation related to any Receivable, or the nonconformity of any Receivable with any such applicable law, rule or regulation;

(iii) the failure of the Seller to vest and maintain vested in the Agent, for the benefit of itself, the Purchaser Agents and the Purchasers, a perfected ownership or security interest in the Sold Interest and the property conveyed pursuant to Section 1.1(e) and Section 1.8, free and clear of any Adverse Claim;

(iv) any commingling of funds to which the Agent, any Purchaser Agent or any Purchaser is entitled hereunder with any other funds;

(v) any failure of a Lock-Box Bank to comply with the terms of the applicable Lock-Box Agreement or any failure by JPMorgan Chase Bank to forward any Collections sent to the JPMorgan Lock-Box or the JPMorgan Lock-Box Account to the Servicer, any sub-servicer, a Lock-Box or a Lock-Box Account;

(vi) any dispute, claim, offset or defense (other than discharge in bankruptcy of the Obligor) of the Obligor to the payment of any Receivable, or any other claim resulting from the sale or lease of goods or the rendering of services related to such Receivable or the furnishing or failure to furnish any such goods or services or other similar claim or defense not arising from the financial inability of any Obligor to pay undisputed indebtedness;

(vii) any failure of the Seller or the Servicer to perform its duties or obligations in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which it is a party;

(viii) any environmental liability claim, products liability claim or personal injury or property damage suit or other similar or related claim or action of whatever sort, arising out of or in connection with any Receivable or any other suit, claim or action of whatever sort relating to any of the Transaction Documents;

(x) any amounts any Conduit Purchaser must pay to any Funding Source pursuant to any Funding Agreement on account of any Tax.

Section 6.2 Increased Cost and Reduced Return. By way of clarification, and not of limitation, of Section 6.1, if the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Funding Source, the Agent, any Purchaser Agent or any Purchaser (collectively, the “Funding Parties”) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority after the date hereof (a “Regulatory Change”) (a) subjects any Funding Party to any charge or withholding on or in connection with a Funding Agreement or this Agreement (collectively, the “Funding Documents”) or any

Receivable, (b) changes the basis of taxation of payments to any of the Funding Parties of any amounts payable under any of the Funding Documents (except for changes in the rate of Tax on the overall net income of such Funding Party), (c) 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, or any credit extended by, any of the Funding Parties, (d) has the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Funding Party’s capital to a level below that which such Funding Party could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Funding Party’s policies concerning capital adequacy) or (e) imposes any other condition, and the result of any of the foregoing is (x) to impose a cost on, or increase the cost to, any Funding Party of its commitment under any Funding Document or of purchasing, maintaining or funding any interest acquired under any Funding Document, (y) to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by, or to reduce the rate of return of, any Funding Party under any Funding Document or (z) to require any payment calculated by reference to the amount of interests held or amounts received by it hereunder, then, upon demand by the Agent or applicable Purchaser Agent, the Seller shall pay to the Agent (with respect to amounts owed to it) or the applicable Purchaser Agent (with respect to amounts owed to it or any Purchaser in its Purchaser Group) for the account of the Person such additional amounts as will compensate the Agent, the Purchaser Agents or such Purchaser (or, in the case of any Conduit Purchaser, will enable such Conduit Purchaser to compensate any Funding Source) for such increased cost or reduction. Without limiting the foregoing, the Seller acknowledges and agrees that the fees and other amounts payable by the Seller to the Purchasers and the Agent have been negotiated on the basis that the unused portion of the Commitment of each Liquidity Bank is treated as a “short term commitment” for which there is no regulatory capital requirement and the Commitment of each Enhancement Bank carries the same capital requirement as a funded Purchase in the same amount. If any Liquidity Bank determines it is required to maintain capital against its unused commitment with respect to this transaction, or if any Enhancement Bank is required to maintain capital on its unused commitment with respect to this transaction (or any Purchaser is required to maintain capital against its Investment) in excess of the amount of capital it would be required to maintain against a funded Purchase in the same amount, such Purchaser shall be entitled to compensation under this Section 6.2.

Section 6.3 Other Costs and Expenses. Also by way of clarification, and not of limitation, of Section 6.1, the Seller shall pay to the Agent (with respect to amounts owed to it) or the applicable Purchaser Agent (with respect to amounts owed to it or any Purchaser in its Purchaser Group) on demand all costs and expenses in connection with (a) the preparation, execution, delivery and administration (including amendments of any provision) of the Transaction Documents, (b) the sale of the Sold Interest, (c) the perfection of the Agent’s rights in the Receivables, Collections, the Purchase Agreement and proceeds thereof, (d) the enforcement by the Agent, any Purchaser Agent or the Purchasers of the obligations of the Seller under the Transaction Documents or of any Obligor under a Receivable and (e) the maintenance by the Agent of the Lock-Boxes and Lock-Box Accounts, including reasonable fees, costs and expenses of legal counsel for the Agent and each Purchaser Agent relating to any of the foregoing or to advising the Agent, any Purchaser Agent and any Funding Source about its rights and remedies under any Transaction Document or any related Funding Agreement and all costs and expenses (including counsel fees and expenses) of the Agent,

each Purchaser Agent, each Purchaser and each Funding Source in connection with the administration and enforcement of the Transaction Documents or any Funding Agreement.

Section 6.4 Withholding Taxes. (a) All payments made by the Seller hereunder shall be made without withholding for or on account of any present or future taxes (other than overall net income taxes on the recipient). If any such withholding is so required, the Seller shall make the withholding, pay the amount withheld to the appropriate authority before penalties attach thereto or interest accrues thereon and pay such additional amount as may be necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by each Purchaser, Purchaser Agent and the Agent free and clear of such taxes (including such taxes on such additional amount) is equal to the amount that Purchaser, Purchaser Agent or the Agent (as the case may be) would have received had such withholding not been made. If the Agent, any Purchaser Agent or any Purchaser pays any such taxes, penalties or interest the Seller shall reimburse the Agent, such Purchaser Agent or such Purchaser for that payment on demand. If the Seller pays any such taxes, penalties or interest, it shall deliver official tax receipts evidencing that payment or certified copies thereof to the related Purchaser Agent on whose account such withholding was made (with a copy to the Agent if not the recipient of the original) on or before the thirtieth day after payment.

(a) Before the first date on which any amount is payable hereunder for the account of any Purchaser not incorporated under the laws of the United States such Purchaser shall deliver to the Seller and the Agent each two (2) duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECl or W-8BEN (or successor applicable form) certifying that such Purchaser is entitled to receive payments hereunder without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes. Each such Purchaser shall replace or update such forms when necessary to maintain any applicable exemption and as requested by the Agent or the Seller.

Section 6.5 Payments and Allocations. If any Person seeks compensation pursuant to this Article VI, such Person shall deliver to the Seller and the Agent a certificate setting forth the amount due to such Person, a description of the circumstance giving rise thereto and, in reasonable detail, the basis of the calculations of such amount, which certificate shall be presumed to be correct absent manifest error. The Seller shall pay to the Agent (with respect to amounts owed to it) or the applicable Purchaser Agent (with respect to amounts owed to it or any Purchaser in its Purchaser Group), for the account of such Person, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 Business Days after receipt of the notice.

(f) With respect to any Incremental Purchase, the Agent shall have received the Incremental Purchase Request required by Section 1.1(c).

Nothing in this Section 7.2 limits the obligations of each Related Bank Purchaser to its related Conduit Purchaser.

Section 7.3 Conditions to Initial Purchase of USF Assurance. On or before the date of the initial Purchase by USF Assurance, USF Assurance shall deliver to the Agent and each Purchaser Agent the following:

ARTICLE VIII

THE AGENT

Section 8.1 Appointment and Authorization. (a) Each Purchaser and each Purchaser Agent hereby irrevocably designates and appoints ABN AMRO Bank N.V. as the “Agent” hereunder and authorizes the Agent to take such actions and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Agent hereby and to exercise such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Agent shall hold, in its name, for the benefit of each Purchaser, the Purchase Interest of such Purchaser. The Agent shall not have any duties other than those expressly set forth herein or any fiduciary relationship with any Purchaser, and no implied obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement, or otherwise exist, against the Agent. The Agent does not assume, nor shall it be deemed to have assumed, any obligation to, or relationship of trust or agency with, the Seller. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, in no event shall the Agent ever be required to take any action which exposes the Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to the provision of any Transaction Document or applicable law.

(b) Each Purchaser hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the respective institution identified on the applicable signature page hereto or in the related Transfer Supplement (as applicable) as its Purchaser Agent hereunder, and each authorizes such Purchaser Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to such Purchaser Agent by the terms of this Agreement, if any, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, no Purchaser Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Purchaser or other Purchaser Agent or the Agent, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities on the part of such Purchaser Agent shall be read into this Agreement or otherwise exist against such Purchaser Agent.

(c) Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, the provisions of this Article VIII are solely for the benefit of the Purchaser Agents, the Agent and the Purchasers, and none of the Seller or any Servicer shall have any rights as a third-party beneficiary or otherwise under any of the provisions of this Article VIII, except that this Article VIII shall not affect any obligations which any Purchaser Agent, the Agent or the Purchaser may have to the Seller or any Servicer under the other provisions of this Agreement. Furthermore, no Purchaser shall have any rights as a third-party beneficiary or otherwise under any of the provisions hereof in respect of a Purchaser Agent which is not the Purchaser Agent for such Purchaser.

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

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

Section 8.2 Delegation of Duties. The Agent may execute any of its duties through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Agent shall not be responsible to any Purchaser for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

Section 8.3 Exculpatory Provisions. None of the Agent, any Purchaser Agent or any of their respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted (i) with the consent or at the direction of the Instructing Group or (ii) in the absence of such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Agent shall not be responsible to any Purchaser Agent, Purchaser or other Person for any recitals, representations, warranties or other statements made by the Seller, any Originator or any of their Affiliates, (ii) the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of any Transaction Document, (iii) any failure of the Seller, any Originator or any of their Affiliates to perform any obligation or (iv) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Article VII. The Agent shall not have any obligation to any Purchaser Agent or any Purchaser to ascertain or inquire about the observance or performance of any agreement contained in any Transaction Document or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Seller, any Originator or any of their Affiliates.

Section 8.4 Reliance by Agent. (a) Each Purchaser Agent and the Agent shall in all cases be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any document, other writing or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Seller), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Agent. Each Purchaser Agent and the Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Transaction Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Purchasers, and assurance of its indemnification, as it deems appropriate.

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

(c) For each Purchaser Group, 66-2/3% of the Commitments represented by such Purchaser Group (each, a “Voting Block”), shall be required to request or direct the applicable Purchaser Agent to take action, or refrain from taking action, under this Agreement on behalf of such Purchasers. Such Purchaser Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement in accordance with a request of its appropriate Voting Block, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of such Purchaser Agent’s Purchasers.

(d) Unless otherwise advised in writing by a Purchaser Agent or by any Purchaser on whose behalf such Purchaser Agent is purportedly acting, each party to this Agreement may assume that (i) such Purchaser Agent is acting for the benefit of each of the Purchasers in respect of which such Purchaser Agent is identified as being the “Purchaser Agent” in the definition of “Purchaser Agent” hereto, as well as for the benefit of each assignee or other transferee from any such Person, and (ii) each action taken by such Purchaser Agent has been duly authorized and approved by all necessary action on the part of the Purchasers on whose behalf it is purportedly acting. Each initial Purchaser (or, with the consent of all other Purchasers then existing, any other Purchasers) shall have the right to designate a new Purchaser Agent (which may be itself) to act on its behalf and on behalf of its assignees and transferees for purposes of this Agreement by giving to the Agent written notice thereof signed by such Purchaser(s) and the newly designated Purchaser Agent. Such notice shall be effective when receipt thereof is acknowledged by the Agent, which acknowledgment the Agent shall not unreasonably delay giving, and thereafter the party named as such therein shall be Purchaser Agent for such Purchaser under this Agreement. Each Purchaser Agent and its Purchaser(s) shall agree amongst themselves as to the circumstances and procedures for removal and resignation of such Purchaser Agent.

Section 8.5 Assumed Payments. Unless the Agent shall have received notice from the applicable Purchaser Agent before the date of any Put or of any Incremental Purchase that the applicable Purchaser Group will not make available to the Agent (in the case of an Incremental Purchase) or the applicable Purchaser Agent (in the case of a Put) the amount it is scheduled to remit as part of such Put or Incremental Purchase, the Agent may assume such Purchaser Group has made such amount available to the Agent when due (an “Assumed Payment”) and, in reliance upon such assumption, the Agent may (but shall have no obligation to) make available such amount to the appropriate Person. If and to the extent that any Purchaser Group shall not have made its Assumed Payment available to the Agent, such Purchaser Group (and the Seller in the case of any Incremental Purchase) hereby agrees to pay the Agent forthwith on demand such unpaid portion of such Assumed Payment up to the amount of funds actually paid by the Agent, together with interest thereon for each day from the date of such payment by the Agent until the date the requisite amount is repaid to the Agent, at a rate per annum equal to (i) for the first five Business Days after such payment was due, the Agent’s cost of funds (as reasonably determined by the Agent) and (ii) thereafter (until the date the requisite amount is repaid to the Agent), the Prime Rate plus 2%.

Section 8.6 Notice of Termination Events. Neither any Purchaser Agent nor the Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Potential Termination Event unless the Agent or such Purchaser Agent has received notice from any Purchaser or the Seller stating that a Potential Termination Event has occurred hereunder and describing such Potential Termination Event. In the event that the Agent receives such a notice, it shall promptly give notice thereof to each Purchaser Agent whereupon each Purchaser Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to its Purchasers, Enhancement Banks and Liquidity Banks. In the event that a Purchaser Agent receives such a notice (other than from the Agent), it shall promptly give notice thereof to the Agent and each of its affiliated Enhancement Banks and Liquidity Banks. The Agent shall take such action concerning a Potential Termination Event as may be directed by the Instructing Group or, if only USF Assurance shall have any

outstanding Investment at such time, USF Assurance (or, if otherwise required for such action, all of the Purchasers), but until the Agent receives such directions, the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, as the Agent deems advisable and in the best interests of the Purchasers and Purchaser Agents; provided, that if USF Assurance shall be entitled to give such direction, no waiver by USF Assurance of such Potential Termination Event shall be binding on any other Purchaser, including without limitation for purposes of Section 7.2(a) or, if such Potential Termination Event becomes a Termination Event for purposes of declaring the Termination Date.

Section 8.7 Non-Reliance on Agent, Purchaser Agents and Other Purchasers. Each Purchaser expressly acknowledges that none of the Agent, the Purchaser Agents or 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 Purchaser Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Seller or any Originator, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Agent or such Purchaser Agent, as applicable. Each Purchaser represents and warrants to the Agent and the Purchaser Agents that, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, Purchaser Agents or any other Purchaser and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, it has made and will continue to make its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, prospects, financial and other conditions and creditworthiness of the Seller, any Originator, and the Receivables and its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to take, or omit, action under any Transaction Document. The Agent shall deliver each month to any Purchaser Agent that so requests a copy of the Periodic Report(s) received covering the preceding Fiscal Month. Except for items specifically required to be delivered hereunder, the Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Purchaser Agent or Purchaser with any information concerning the Seller, any Originator or any of their Affiliates that comes into the possession of the Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.

Section 8.8 Agents and Affiliates. Each of the Purchaser Agents, the Purchasers and the Agent and their respective Affiliates may extend credit to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, debt, entity or other business with the Seller, any Originator or any of their Affiliates and ABN AMRO may exercise or refrain from exercising its rights and powers as if it were not the Agent. With respect to the acquisition of the Receivables pursuant to this Agreement, each of the Purchaser Agents and the Agents shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any Purchaser and may exercise the same as though it were not such an agent, and the terms “Purchaser” and “Purchasers” shall include each of the Purchaser Agents and the Agent in their individual capacities.

Section 8.9 Indemnification. Each Purchaser Group shall indemnify and hold harmless the Agent and its officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents (to the extent not reimbursed by the Seller or any Originator and without limiting the obligation of the Seller or any Originator to do so), ratably in accordance with the Percentage Factors of the Purchasers in such Purchaser Group from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, judgments, settlements, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind whatsoever (including in connection with any investigative or threatened proceeding,

whether or not the Agent or such Person shall be designated a party thereto) that may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Agent or such Person as a result of, or related to, any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents or the execution, delivery or performance of the Transaction Documents or any other document furnished in connection therewith (but excluding any such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, judgments, settlements, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent or such Person as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction).

Section 8.10 Successor Agent. The Agent may, upon at least forty-five (45) days notice to the Seller, each Purchaser and each Purchaser Agent, resign as Agent. Such resignation shall not become effective until a successor agent is appointed by the Instructing Group and has accepted such appointment. Upon such acceptance of its appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Transaction Documents. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of Article VI and this Article VIII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Agent.

ARTICLE IX

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 9.1 Termination. Each Purchaser shall cease to be a party hereto when the Termination Date has occurred, such Purchaser holds no Investment and no Commitment and all amounts payable to it hereunder have been indefeasibly paid in full. This Agreement shall terminate following the Termination Date when no Investment is held by any Purchaser and all other amounts payable hereunder have been indefeasibly paid in full, but the rights and remedies of the Agent, each Purchaser Agent and each Purchaser concerning any representation, warranty or covenant made, or deemed to be made, by the Seller and under Article VI and Sections 3.9, 8.9, 9.10, 9.11, 9.12, 9.13 and 9.18 shall survive such termination.

Section 9.2 Notices. Unless otherwise specified, all notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing (including by telecopier or other facsimile communication), given to the appropriate Person at its address or telecopy number set forth on the signature pages hereof or at such other address or telecopy number as such Person may specify, and effective when received at the address specified by such Person. Each party hereto, however, authorizes the Agent and each Purchaser Agent to act on telephone notices of Purchases, Puts, and Discount Rate and Tranche Period selections from any person the Agent or such Purchaser Agent in good faith believes to be acting on behalf of the relevant party and, at the Agent’s or such Purchaser Agent’s option, to tape record any such telephone conversation. Each party hereto agrees to deliver promptly to the Agent or such Purchaser Agent a confirmation of each telephone notice given or received by such party (signed by an authorized officer of such party), but the absence of such confirmation shall not affect the validity of the telephone notice. The Agent’s or such Purchaser Agent’s records of all such conversations shall be

deemed correct and, if the confirmation of a conversation differs in any material respect from the action taken by the Agent or such Purchaser Agent, the records of the Agent or such Purchaser Agent shall govern absent manifest error. The number of days for any advance notice required hereunder may be waived (orally or in writing) by the Person receiving such notice and, in the case of notices to the Agent, the consent of each Person to which the Agent or such Purchaser Agent is required to forward such notice.

Section 9.3 Payments and Computations. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any amounts to be paid or transferred by the Seller or the Servicer to, or for the benefit of, any Purchaser or any other Person shall be paid or transferred to the Agent or the appropriate Purchaser Agent, as specified herein. All amounts to be paid or deposited hereunder shall be paid or transferred on the day when due in immediately available Dollars (and, if due from the Seller or Servicer, by 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time), with amounts received after such time being deemed paid on the Business Day following such receipt). The Seller shall, to the extent permitted by law, pay to the Agent upon demand, for the account of the applicable Person, interest on all amounts not paid or transferred by the Seller or the Servicer when due hereunder at a rate equal to Prime Rate plus 2% calculated from the date any such amount became due until the date paid in full. Any payment or other transfer of funds scheduled to be made on a day that is not a Business Day shall be made on the next Business Day, and any Discount Rate or interest rate accruing on such amount to be paid or transferred shall continue to accrue to such next Business Day. All computations of interest, fees, and Discount shall be calculated for the actual days elapsed based on a 360 day year, except in the case of Discount accruing at the Prime Rate which shall be calculated based on a 365/366 day year.

Section 9.4 Sharing of Recoveries. Each Purchaser agrees that if it receives any recovery, through set-off, judicial action or otherwise, on any amount payable or recoverable hereunder in a greater proportion than should have been received hereunder or otherwise inconsistent with the provisions hereof, then the recipient of such recovery shall purchase for cash an interest in amounts owing to the other Purchasers (as return of Investment or otherwise), without representation or warranty except for the representation and warranty that such interest is being sold by each such other Purchaser free and clear of any Adverse Claim created or granted by such other Purchaser Group, in the amount necessary to create proportional participation by the Purchasers in such recovery (as if such recovery were distributed pursuant to Section 2.3(c) including clause (ii) thereof). If all or any portion of such amount is thereafter recovered from the recipient, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

Section 9.5 Right of Setoff. Subject to Section 9.4, during a Termination Event, each Purchaser is hereby authorized (in addition to any other rights it may have) to setoff, appropriate and apply (without presentment, demand, protest or other notice which are hereby expressly waived) any deposits and any other indebtedness held or owing by such Purchaser (including by any branches or agencies of such Purchaser) to, or for the account of, the Seller or the Servicer against amounts owing by the Seller or the Servicer (as applicable) under the Transaction Documents.

Section 9.6 Amendments. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no amendment or waiver hereof shall be effective unless signed by the Seller, the Servicer and the Purchasers, and prior written notification of the substance of each amendment or waiver is furnished to each Rating Agency. In addition, no amendment of any Transaction Document shall, without the consent of (a) all the Purchasers (i) extend the Termination Date or the date of any payment or transfer of Collections by the Seller to the Servicer or by the Seller or the Servicer to the Agent, any Purchaser Agent or any Purchaser, (ii) reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of Discount for any Tranche, (iii) reduce or extend the time of payment of any fee payable to the Purchasers, (iv) except as provided herein, release, transfer or modify any Purchaser’s Purchase Interest or change any Commitment, (v) amend the definition of Instructing Group, subsections (b), (e) and (g) in the definition of Termination Event or Section 1.1, 1.2, 1.5, 1.7, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 3.9, 7.2 or 9.6, Article VI, or any obligation of any USF Entity thereunder, (vi) consent to the assignment or transfer by the Seller or any Originator of any interest in the Receivables other than transfers permitted under the Transaction Documents or permit any USF Entity to transfer any of its obligations under any Transaction Document except as expressly contemplated by the terms of the Transaction Documents, or (vii) amend any defined term relevant to the restrictions in clauses (i) through (vi) in a manner which would circumvent the intention of such restrictions, or (b) the Agent and each affected Purchaser Agent, amend any provision hereof if the effect thereof is to affect the indemnities to, or the rights or duties of, the Agent or any Purchaser Agent or to reduce any fee payable for the Agent’s or such Purchaser Agent’s own account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the amount of any fee or other payment due and payable from the Seller or the Servicer to the Agent (for its own account), any Purchaser Agent or any Purchaser may be changed or otherwise adjusted solely with the consent of the Seller and the party to which such payment is payable. Any amendment hereof shall apply to each Purchaser equally and shall be binding upon the Seller, the Servicer, the Purchasers, the Purchaser Agents and the Agent. If required by the Rating Agencies for the applicable Conduit Purchaser, no material amendment hereof or assignment, termination, resignation or removal hereunder shall be effective unless a statement is obtained from the applicable Rating Agencies that its Rating will not be downgraded, withdrawn or suspended as a result of such amendment assignment, termination, resignation or removal.

Section 9.7 Waivers. No failure or delay of the Agent, any Purchaser Agent or any Purchaser in exercising any power, right, privilege or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right, privilege or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power, right, privilege or remedy. Any waiver hereof shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which such waiver was given. After any waiver, the Seller, the Purchasers, the Purchaser Agents and the Agent shall be restored to their former position and rights and any Termination Event waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing, but no such waiver shall extend to (or impair any right consequent upon) any subsequent or other Termination Event. Any additional Discount that has accrued after a Termination Event before the execution of a waiver thereof, solely as a result of the occurrence of such Termination Event, may be waived by the Agent or related Purchaser Agent at the direction of the Purchaser entitled thereto.

Section 9.8 Successors and Assigns; Participations; Assignments.

(a) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Except as otherwise provided herein, neither the Seller nor the Servicer may assign or transfer any of its rights or delegate any of its duties without (i) obtaining the prior consent of the Agent, the Purchaser Agents and the Purchasers and (ii) furnishing prior written notification of any assignment or transfer to each Rating Agency. Any Purchaser may from time to time sell to one or more Related Bank Purchasers all or any portion of its Investment.

(b) Participations. Any Purchaser may sell to one or more Persons (each a “Participant”) participating interests in the interests of such Purchaser hereunder. Such Purchaser shall remain solely responsible for performing its obligations hereunder, and the Seller, each Purchaser Agent and the Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Purchaser in connection with such Purchaser’s rights and obligations hereunder. Each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Article VI and Section 3.9 and shall have the right of setoff through its participation in amounts owing hereunder to the same extent as if it were a Purchaser hereunder, which right of setoff is subject to such Participant’s obligation to share with the Purchasers as provided in Section 9.4; provided, however, that no Participant shall be entitled to any amount under Section 3.9 and Article VI greater than the amount that would have been have payable thereunder to the Purchaser who sold the participation if such participation had not been sold. A Purchaser shall not agree with a Participant to restrict such Purchaser’s right to agree to any amendment hereto, except amendments described in clause (a) of Section 9.6.

(c) Assignments by Committed Purchasers. Any Committed Purchaser may assign to one or more Persons (“Purchasing Committed Purchasers”), acceptable to the Agent in its sole discretion and, prior to the occurrence of a Termination Event, subject to the prior written consent of the Seller (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld) any portion of its Commitment as a Committed Purchaser hereunder and Purchase Interest pursuant to a supplement hereto (a “Transfer Supplement”) in form satisfactory to the Agent executed by each such Purchasing Committed Purchaser, such selling Committed Purchaser and the Agent. Any such assignment by a Committed Purchaser must be for an amount of at least $10,000,000. Each Purchasing Committed Purchaser shall pay a fee of $3,000 to the Agent. Any partial assignment shall be an assignment of an identical percentage of such selling Committed Purchaser’s Investment, if any, and its Commitment as a Committed Purchaser hereunder. Upon the execution and delivery to the Agent of the Transfer Supplement and payment by the Purchasing Committed Purchaser to the selling Committed Purchaser of the agreed purchase price, such selling Committed Purchaser shall be released from its obligations hereunder to the extent of such assignment and such Purchasing Committed Purchaser shall for all purposes be a Committed Purchaser party hereto and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Committed Purchaser hereunder to the same extent as if it were an original party hereto with a Commitment as a Committed Purchaser, any Investment and any related assigned Settlement described in the Transfer Supplement.

(d) Assignment by Conduit Purchasers. Each party hereto agrees and consents (i) to each Conduit Purchaser’s assignment, participation, grant of security interests in or other

transfers of any portion of, or any of its beneficial interest in, the Purchase Interest and the related assigned Settlement and (ii) to the complete assignment by such Conduit Purchaser of all of its rights and obligations hereunder to (x) a Related Bank Purchaser or Liquidity Bank or (y) any other Person reasonably acceptable to the Seller (provided that the Seller’s approval shall not be unreasonably withheld and no such approval shall be required after the occurrence of a Termination Event). Upon such assignment such Conduit Purchaser shall be released from all obligations and duties hereunder. Each Conduit Purchaser shall promptly notify each party hereto of any such assignment. Upon such an assignment of any portion of a Conduit Purchaser’s Purchase Interest and the related assigned Settlement, the assignee shall have all of the rights of such Conduit Purchaser hereunder related to such Purchase Interest and related assigned Settlement.

(e) Assignment by USF Assurance. USF Assurance may assign its rights and obligations hereunder to any Person with the prior written consent of the Agent (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld). Upon an assignment of any portion of USF Assurance’s Purchase Interest, the assignee shall have all of the rights of USF Assurance hereunder related to such Purchase Interest.

(f) Opinions of Counsel. If required by the Agent or any Purchaser Agent or to maintain the Ratings, each Transfer Supplement must be accompanied by an opinion of counsel of the assignee as to such matters as the Agent or such Purchaser Agent may reasonably request.

(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Purchaser may assign or participate any of its interests hereunder to USF Assurance and USF Assurance may not assign or participate any of its interests hereunder to any other Purchaser, unless after giving effect to such assignment or participation, if any Purchaser other than USF Assurance holds a Purchase Interest at such time or will hold a Purchase Interest after giving effect to such assignment or participation, the aggregate Investments of the Purchasers other than USF Assurance (which have not been participated to USF Assurance) is at least equal to 50% of the Aggregate Investment.

Section 9.9 Commercial Reasonableness. Each party hereto agrees that all provisions of the Transaction Documents shall be interpreted, and all rights and remedies thereunder will be exercised, in a commercially reasonable manner, taking into account the materiality of any purported breach thereof.

Section 9.10 Confidentiality. The Seller and the Servicer hereto agree to hold the Transaction Documents or any other confidential or proprietary information of the Agent, the Purchaser Agents or the Purchasers received in connection therewith in confidence and agree not to provide any Person with copies of any Transaction Document or such other confidential or proprietary information other than to (i) any officers, directors, members, managers, employees or outside accountants, financial advisors, auditors or attorneys thereof, or (ii) Governmental Authorities with appropriate jurisdiction and provided that the Seller and the Servicer may provide copies of the Transaction Documents (other than the Fee Letters) to the lenders under the USF Credit Agreement. The Agent, each Purchaser Agent and each Purchaser will agree to hold any other confidential or proprietary information of the USF Entities received in connection with the Transaction Documents in confidence and agree not to

provide any Person with copies of such other confidential or proprietary information other than to (i) any officers, directors, members, managers, employees or outside accountants, auditors or attorneys of the Agent, the Purchaser Agents and the Purchasers, (ii) any prospective or actual assignee or participant which (in each case) has agreed to comply with this Section 9.10, (iii) Governmental Authorities with appropriate jurisdiction and (iv) any actual or potential investor in a Conduit Purchaser’s commercial paper, any CP Dealer or any Rating Agency. Notwithstanding the above stated obligations, the parties hereto will not be liable for disclosure or use of such information which such Person can establish by tangible evidence: (i) was required by law, including pursuant to a subpoena or other legal process, (ii) was in such Person’s possession or known to such Person prior to receipt or (iii) is or becomes known to the public through disclosure in a printed publication (without breach of any of such Person’s obligations hereunder).

Section 9.11 Agreement Not to Petition. Each party hereto agrees, for the benefit of the holders of the privately or publicly placed indebtedness for borrowed money for each Conduit Purchaser, not, prior to the date which is one (1) year and one (1) day after the payment in full of all such indebtedness, to acquiesce, petition or otherwise, directly or indirectly, invoke, or cause such Conduit Purchaser to invoke, the process of any Governmental Authority for the purpose of (a) commencing or sustaining a case against such Conduit Purchaser under any federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law (including the Federal Bankruptcy Code), (b) appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official for such Conduit Purchaser, or any substantial part of its property, or (c) ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of such Conduit Purchaser. This Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Section 9.12 Excess Funds. Notwithstanding any provisions contained in this Agreement to the contrary, each Conduit Purchaser shall not, and shall not be obligated to, pay any amount pursuant to this Agreement unless (i) such Conduit Purchaser has received funds which may be used to make such payment and which funds are not required to repay its commercial paper notes when due and (ii) after giving effect to such payment, either (x) such Conduit Purchaser could issue commercial paper notes to refinance all of its outstanding commercial paper notes (assuming such outstanding commercial paper notes matured at such time) in accordance with the program documents governing such Conduit Purchaser’s securitization program or (y) all of such Conduit Purchaser’s commercial paper notes are paid in full. Any amount which such Conduit Purchaser does not pay pursuant to the operation of the preceding sentence shall not constitute a claim (as defined in §101 of the United States Bankruptcy Code) against or corporate obligation of such Conduit Purchaser for any such insufficiency unless and until such Conduit Purchaser satisfies the provisions of clauses (i) and (ii) above. This Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Section 9.13 No Recourse. The obligations of each Conduit Purchaser, its management company, its administrator and its referral agents (each a “Program Administrator”) under any Transaction Document or other document (each, a “Program Document”) to which a Program Administrator is a party are solely the corporate obligations of such Program Administrator and no recourse shall be had for such obligations against any

Affiliate, director, officer, member, manager, employee, attorney or agent of any Program Administrator.

Section 9.14 Headings; Counterparts. Article and Section Headings in this Agreement are for reference only and shall not affect the construction of this Agreement. This Agreement may be executed by different parties on any number of counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original and all of which, taken together, shall constitute one and the same agreement.

Section 9.15 Cumulative Rights and Severability. All rights and remedies of the Purchasers, Purchaser Agents and Agent hereunder shall be cumulative and non-exclusive of any rights or remedies such Persons have under law or otherwise. Any provision hereof that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, in such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof and without affecting such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 9.16 Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction.
