NOW, THEREFORE, for valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency
of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company hereby agrees as follows:
SECTION 1. Unconditional Undertaking; Enforcement. (a) The Company
hereby unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes and agrees, as set forth
herein, with and for the benefit of the Issuer, the Administrator and each
Program Support Provider that, in the event that any Originator or the Servicer
shall fail in any manner whatsoever to perform or observe any of the terms,
covenants, conditions, agreements and undertakings to be performed or observed
by (1) any such Originator under the Purchase and Sale Agreement in accordance
with the terms thereof, including, without limitation, the obligations of each
Originator under Sections 3.3 and 9.1 of the Purchase and Sale Agreement or (2)
the Servicer under the Receivables Purchase Agreement in accordance with the
terms thereof (all such terms, covenants, conditions, agreements and
undertakings on the part of each Originator and the Servicer to be performed or
observed being collectively called the "Guaranteed Obligations"), when the same
shall be required to be performed or observed under such Agreement, then the
Company shall guarantee and ensure that each Originator, the Servicer or the
Company or some other Person duly and punctually performs and observes each
Guaranteed Obligation; it being understood that the term
"Guaranteed Obligations" shall not be interpreted as a covenant, agreement or
undertaking on the part of any Originator or the Servicer regarding the
collectibility of any of the Receivables on account of insolvency, bankruptcy or
lack of creditworthiness of the related Obligor. It shall not be a condition to
the accrual of the obligation of the Company hereunder to guarantee and ensure
the performance or observance of any of the Guaranteed Obligations that the
Issuer, the Administrator or any Program Support Provider shall have first made
any request of or demand upon or given any notice to the Company or any other
person or have instituted any action or proceeding against the Company or any
other Person in respect thereof.
(b) The Issuer, the Administrator or any Program Support
Provider may proceed to enforce the obligations of any Originator or
the Servicer under this Section 1 after their failure to perform such
obligations in accordance with the terms of the Agreements without
first pursuing or exhausting any right or remedy which Issuer, the
Administrator or any Program Support Provider may have against any such
Originator, the Servicer or any other Person or with respect to the
Receivables or the Related Rights.
SECTION 2. Obligation Absolute. The Company undertakes and agrees with
and for the benefit of the Issuer, the Administrator and each Program Support
Provider to ensure the performance of all Guaranteed Obligations strictly in
accordance with the terms of the Agreements. The obligations of the Company
under this Performance Guaranty are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations,
and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against the
Company to enforce this Performance Guaranty, irrespective of whether any action
is brought against any Originator or the Servicer or whether any such Originator
or the Servicer is joined in any such action or actions; provided that no such
action shall be brought prior to compliance with any notice requirement and the
expiration of any cure period applicable to the Guaranteed Obligations, in each
case as set forth in the Agreements. The obligations of the Company under this
Performance Guaranty shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:
(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of either
Agreement (other than as a result of any lack of validity or
enforceability against the Issuer, the Administrator or any Program
Support Provider);
(b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment
of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations,
or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from
either Agreement including, without limitation, any increase in, or
addition to, the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from additional
purchases under the Receivables Purchase Agreement or otherwise;
(c) any taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of
any collateral, or any taking, release or amendment or waiver of or
consent to departure from any other guaranty, for all or any of the
Guaranteed Obligations;
(d) any manner of application of collateral, or proceeds
thereof, to all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any manner of
sale or other disposition of any collateral for all or any of the
Guaranteed Obligations or any other assets of any Originator or the
Servicer;
2
(e) any change, restructuring or termination of the
corporate structure or existence of any Originator or the Servicer;
(f) the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any
Originator or the Servicer, or any stay or discharge of any of the
Guaranteed Obligations in connection therewith; or
(g) any other circumstance which might otherwise
constitute a defense (except for a valid defense of any Originator or
the Servicer not arising as a result of any such Originator's or the
Servicer's breach of its obligations under either Agreement) available
to, or a discharge of any such Originator or the Servicer.
This Performance Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as
the case may be, if at any time any payment or performance of any of the
Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Issuer,
the Administrator or any Program Support Provider upon the insolvency,
bankruptcy or reorganization of any Originator or the Servicer or otherwise, all
as though such payment had not been made.
SECTION 3. Waiver. The Company hereby waives promptness, diligence,
notice of acceptance and any other notice with respect to any of the Guaranteed
Obligations except to the extent such notice is required to be provided with
regard to such Guaranteed Obligations in accordance with the terms of the
Agreements and this Performance Guaranty and any requirement that the Issuer,

proceedings being herein collectively called "Bankruptcy Proceedings"), the
Senior Interests shall first be paid and performed in full and in cash before

foregoing during any Bankruptcy Proceeding: (i) all payments and distributions
of any kind or character in respect of this Company Note to which Holder would
be entitled except for this clause (b) shall be made directly to the
Administrator (for the benefit of the Senior Interest Holders); (ii) Holder
shall promptly file a claim or claims, in the form required in any Bankruptcy
Proceedings, for the full outstanding amount of this Company Note, and shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to cause said claim or claims to be approved and

cash; and (iii) Holder hereby irrevocably agrees that the Issuer (or the

other distribution of any kind or character from the Company or from any other
source whatsoever, in respect of this Company Note, other than as expressly

permitted under paragraph 1(n) of Exhibit IV of the Receivables Purchase
Agreement;

for the purpose of defining the relative rights of Holder, on the one hand, and

shall impair, as between the Company, its creditors (other than the Senior
Interest Holders) and Holder, the Company's obligation, which is unconditional
and absolute, to pay Holder the principal of and interest on this Company Note
as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms
hereof or to affect the relative rights of Holder and creditors of the Company
(other than the Senior Interest Holders);

arising or evidenced, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, or now
or hereafter existing, or due or to become due, other than the Senior Interests,
this Company Note or any rights in respect hereof or (ii) convert this Company
Note into an equity interest in the Company, unless Holder shall have received
the prior written consent of the Administrator and the Issuer in each case;
(g) Holder shall not, without the advance written consent
of the Administrator and the Issuer, commence, or join with any other Person in
commencing, any Bankruptcy Proceedings with respect to the Company until at
least one year and one day shall have passed since the Senior Interests shall
have been paid and performed in full and in cash;
(h) If, at any time, any payment (in whole or in part) of
any Senior Interest is rescinded or must be restored or returned by a Senior
Interest Holder (whether in connection with Bankruptcy Proceedings or
otherwise), these Subordination Provisions shall continue to be effective or
shall be reinstated, as the case may be, as though such payment had not been
made;
(i) Each of the Senior Interest Holders may, from time to
time, at its sole discretion, without notice to Holder, and without waiving any
of its rights under these Subordination Provisions, take any or all of the
following actions: (i) retain or obtain an interest in any property to secure
any of the Senior Interests; (ii) retain or obtain the primary or secondary
obligations of any other obligor or obligors with respect to any of the Senior
Interests; (iii) extend or renew for one or more periods (whether or not longer
than the original period), alter or exchange any of the Senior Interests, or
release or compromise any obligation of any nature with respect to any of the
Senior Interests; (iv) amend, supplement, amend and restate, or otherwise modify
any Transaction Document; and (v) release its security interest in, or
surrender, release or permit any substitution or exchange for all or any part of
any rights or property securing any of the Senior Interests, or extend or renew
for one or more periods (whether or not longer than the original period), or
release, compromise, alter or exchange any obligations of any nature of any
obligor with respect to any such rights or property;
(j) Holder hereby waives: (i) notice of acceptance of
these Subordination Provisions by any of the Senior Interest Holders; (ii)
notice of the existence, creation, non-payment or non-performance of all or any
of the Senior Interests; and (iii) all diligence in enforcement, collection or
protection of, or realization upon, the Senior Interests, or any thereof, or any
security therefor;
(k) Each of the Senior Interest Holders may, from time to
time, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Transaction
Documents to which such Persons are party, but without notice to Holder, assign
or transfer any or all of the Senior Interests, or any interest therein; and,
notwithstanding any such assignment or transfer or any subsequent assignment or
transfer thereof, such Senior Interests shall be and remain Senior Interests for
the purposes of these Subordination Provisions, and every immediate and
successive assignee or transferee of any of the Senior Interests or of any
interest of such assignee or transferee in the Senior Interests shall be
entitled to the benefits of these Subordination Provisions to the same extent as
if such assignee or transferee were the assignor or transferor; and
Exhibit B-5
(l) These Subordination Provisions constitute a
continuing offer from the holder of this Company Note to all Persons who become
the holders of, or who continue to hold, Senior Interests; and these
Subordination Provisions are made for the benefit of the Senior Interest
Holders, and the Administrator may proceed to enforce such provisions on behalf
of each of such Persons.
10. General. No failure or delay on the part of the Originator in
exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor
shall any single or partial exercise of any such power or right preclude any
other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right.
No amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent with respect to, any
provision of this Company Note shall in any event be effective unless (i) the
same shall be in writing and signed and delivered by the Company and Holder and
(ii) all consents required for such actions under the Transaction Documents
shall have been received by the appropriate Persons.
11. Maximum Interest. Notwithstanding anything in this Company
Note to the contrary, the Company shall never be required to pay unearned
interest on any amount outstanding hereunder and shall never be required to pay
interest on the principal amount outstanding hereunder at a rate in excess of
the maximum interest rate that may be contracted for, charged or received under
applicable federal or state law (such maximum rate being herein called the
"Highest Lawful Rate"). If the effective rate of interest which would otherwise
by payable under this Company Note would exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, or if
the holder of this Company Note shall receive any unearned interest or shall
receive monies that are deemed to constitute interest which would increase the
effective rate of interest payable by the Company under this Company Note to a
rate in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then (i) the amount of interest which
would otherwise by payable by the Company under this Company Note shall be
reduced to the amount allowed by applicable law, and (ii) any unearned interest
paid by the Company or any interest paid by the Company in excess of the Highest
Lawful Rate shall be refunded to the Company. Without limitation of the
foregoing, all calculations of the rate of interest contracted for, charged or
received by the Originator under this Company Note that are made for the purpose
of determining whether such rate exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to
the Originator (such Highest Lawful Rate being herein called the "Originator's
Maximum Permissible Rate") shall be made, to the extent permitted by usury laws
applicable to the Originator (now or hereafter enacted), by amortizing,
prorating and spreading in equal parts during the actual period during which any
amount has been outstanding hereunder all interest at any time contracted for,
charged or received by the Originator in connection herewith. If at any time and
from time to time (i) the amount of interest payable to the Originator on any
date shall be computed at the Originator's Maximum Permissible Rate pursuant to
the provisions of the foregoing sentence and (ii) in respect of any subsequent
interest computation period the amount of interest otherwise payable to the
Originator would be less than the amount of interest payable to the Originator
computed at the Originator's Maximum Permissible Rate, then the amount of
interest payable to the Originator in respect of such subsequent interest
computation period shall continue to be computed at the Originator's Maximum
Permissible Rate until the total amount of interest payable to the Originator
shall equal the total amount of interest which would have been payable to the
Originator if the total amount of interest had been computed without giving
effect to the provisions of the foregoing sentence.
Exhibit B-6
12. No Negotiation. This Company Note is not negotiable except
that is may be assigned to any Affiliate of the Originator.
13. GOVERNING LAW. THIS COMPANY NOTE HAS BEEN DELIVERED IN THE
STATE OF NEW YORK, AND SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A CONTRACT MADE UNDER AND GOVERNED
BY THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
14. Captions. Paragraph captions used in this Company Note are for
convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of any
provision of this Company Note.
