ARTICLE I
DEFINITIONS AND INTERPRETATION

Section 1.01.          Definitions.  Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in Annex X.

Section 1.02.          Rules of Construction.  For purposes of this Agreement, the rules of construction set forth in Annex X shall govern.  All Appendices hereto, or expressly identified to this Agreement, are incorporated herein by reference and, taken together with this Agreement, shall constitute but a single agreement.

ARTICLE II
TRANSFERS OF RECEIVABLES

Section 2.01.          Agreement to Transfer.

(a)           Receivables Transfers.  Prior to the Effective Date, each Existing Originator sold, assigned, transferred, conveyed or contributed to the Buyer, without recourse (except to the extent provided in the Existing Sale Agreement) such Existing Originator’s right, title and interest in and to all Receivables existing or arising from time to time prior to the Effective Date.  Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Originator agrees to sell (without recourse except to the limited extent specifically provided herein) or (in the case of the Parent) contribute to Buyer, commencing on the Effective Date in the case of each Existing Originator and commencing on the applicable Initial Sale Date with respect to each New Originator and on each Business Day thereafter until the Facility Termination Date) (each such date, a “Transfer Date”), all Receivables owned by it on each such Transfer Date (to the extent not already sold, assigned, transferred, conveyed or contributed pursuant to the Existing Sale Agreement), and Buyer agrees to purchase or acquire as a capital contribution all such Receivables on each such Transfer Date.  All such Transfers by an Originator to Buyer shall collectively be evidenced by a certificate of assignment substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.01(a) (each, a “Receivables Assignment,” and collectively, the “Receivables Assignments”).  Each Existing Originator and Buyer shall execute and deliver a Receivables Assignment on or before the Effective Date, and each New Originator and Buyer shall execute and deliver a Receivables Assignment on or before the Initial Sale Date with respect to such New Originator.

(b)           Determination of Sold Receivables.  On and as of each Transfer Date, all Receivables then owned by each Originator and not previously acquired by Buyer (or that have not been contributed to Buyer in accordance with Section 2.01(d)), shall be sold immediately upon their creation to Buyer (each such Receivable sold immediately upon its creation pursuant to this Section 2.01(b), individually, a “Sold Receivable” and, collectively, the “Sold Receivables”).

2

(c)           Payment of Sale Price.  (i)  In consideration for each Sale of Sold Receivables hereunder, Buyer shall pay to the Originator thereof on the Transfer Date therefor the applicable Sale Price therefor (x) in Dollars in immediately available funds or (y) with the proceeds of a Subordinated Loan as provided in clause (ii) below.  All cash payments by Buyer under this Section 2.01(c)(i) shall be effected by means of a wire transfer on the day when due to such account or accounts as the Originators may designate from time to time.

(ii)           To the extent that the Sale Price of Sold Receivables exceeds the amount of cash then available to Buyer, each applicable Originator hereby agrees to make a subordinated loan (each, a “Subordinated Loan”) to Buyer in an amount not to exceed the lesser of (i) the amount of such excess in satisfaction of the equivalent portion of the Sale Price not paid in cash and (ii) the maximum Subordinated Loan that could be borrowed without rendering Buyer’s Net Worth less than the Required Capital Amount.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,  no Canadian Originator shall make Subordinated Loans, and such Canadian Originator shall be entitled to be paid the Sale Price in cash, unless and until Parent otherwise elects by written notice to the Buyer and the Administrative Agent and such Subordinated Loans are subject to such terms as are acceptable to the Canadian Originator, Buyer and Administrative Agent to ensure that interest payments on such Subordinated Loans will not be subject to withholding tax, deduction or other Charge.  The Subordinated Loans of an Originator shall be evidenced by a subordinated promissory note substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.01(c)(ii) hereto (a “Subordinated Note”) executed by Buyer and payable to such Originator.  Each Subordinated Loan shall bear interest and be payable as provided in the related Subordinated Note.

(d)           Determination of Contributed Receivables.  Prior to the delivery of an Election Notice, on each Transfer Date on which Buyer cannot pay the Sale Price therefore in cash or with Subordinated Loans, the Parent shall identify Receivables then owned by the Originators which have not been previously acquired by Buyer, and the Parent shall, unless the Parent delivers an Election Notice on such date, contribute such Receivables as a capital contribution to the Buyer (each such contributed Receivable, individually, a “Contributed Receivable,” and collectively, the “Contributed Receivables”), to the extent Buyer cannot so pay the Sale Price therefor in cash or through Subordinated Loans pursuant to the foregoing clause (c).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent shall not be obligated to make additional contributions to Buyer at any time.  If on any Transfer Date (i) the Parent elects not to contribute Receivables to Buyer when the Buyer cannot pay the Sale Price therefore in cash or through Subordinated Loans, or (ii) any Originator does not sell (or in the case of the Parent, sell or contribute) all of its then owned Receivables to Buyer, the Parent shall deliver to Buyer not later than 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Business Day immediately preceding such Transfer Date a notice of election thereof (each such notice, an “Election Notice”).

(e)           Ownership of Transferred Receivables.  On and after each Transfer Date and after giving effect to the Transfers to be made on each such date, Buyer shall own the Transferred Receivables and no Originator shall take any action inconsistent with such ownership nor shall any Originator claim any ownership interest in such Transferred Receivables.

(f)            Reconstruction of General Trial Balance.  If at any time any Originator fails to generate its General Trial Balance, Buyer shall have the right to reconstruct such General Trial

3

Balance so that a determination of the Sold Receivables and Contributed Receivables can be made pursuant to Section 2.01(b).  Each Originator agrees to cooperate with such reconstruction, including by delivery to Buyer, upon Buyer’s request, of copies of all Records; provided, that, unless a Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Originators shall not have to assist in the reconstruction of the General Trial Balance more frequently than once per calendar month.

(g)           Servicing of Receivables.  So long as no Event of Servicer Termination shall have occurred and be continuing and no Successor Servicer has assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Servicer pursuant to Section 9.02, the Servicer shall (i) conduct the servicing, administration and collection of the Transferred Receivables and shall take, or cause to be taken, all such actions as may be necessary or advisable to service, administer and collect the Transferred Receivables, all in accordance with (A) the terms of this Agreement, (B) customary and prudent servicing procedures for trade receivables of a similar type and (C) all applicable laws, rules and regulations, and (ii) hold all Contracts and other documents and incidents relating to the Transferred Receivables in trust for the benefit of Buyer, as the owner thereof, and for the sole purpose of facilitating the servicing of the Transferred Receivables in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  Buyer hereby instructs the Servicer, and the Servicer hereby acknowledges, that the Servicer shall hold all Contracts and other documents relating to such Transferred Receivables in trust for the benefit of the Buyer and the Servicer’s retention and possession of such Contracts and documents shall at all times be solely in a custodial capacity for the benefit of the Buyer and its assigns and pledgees.

(h)           Returned Items.  To the extent (i) any items in respect of Collections of Transferred Receivables credited to a Lockbox Account are subsequently returned or otherwise not collected by the related Lockbox Account Bank (collectively, “Returned Items”) and (ii) an Originator makes a payment to the related Lockbox Account Bank to reimburse such Lockbox Account Bank for such Returned Items in accordance with the terms of the related Lockbox Account Agreement, then (x) such Originator shall be deemed to have made a Subordinated Loan to the Buyer in an amount equal to the amount paid by such Originator in accordance with the terms of the related Lockbox Account Agreement to such Lockbox Account Bank in respect of such Returned Items and (y) the outstanding principal balance of the related Subordinated Note shall be increased by the amount so paid by the Originator to the Lockbox Account Bank.

(i)            Lockbox Accounts.  Each Existing Originator hereby ratifies its prior sale to the Buyer, and each New Originator as of the Initial Sale Date with respect to such New Originator hereby transfers to Buyer, all of its respective rights, title and interest in and to each Lockbox Account and each Lockbox applicable to such Originator as set forth on Schedule 4.01(t) hereto.

Section 2.02.          Grant of Security Interest.  The parties hereto intend that each Transfer shall be absolute and shall constitute a purchase and sale or capital contribution, as applicable, and not a loan.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in addition to and not in derogation of any rights now or hereafter acquired by Buyer under Section 2.01 hereof, the parties hereto intend that this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law and if a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any transaction provided for herein constitutes a loan and not a sale or capital contribution, as applicable, that each Originator shall be deemed to have granted, and each Originator hereby reaffirms the grant of any security interest under the Existing Sale

4

Agreement and grants, to Buyer a continuing security interest in all of such Originator’s right, title and interest in, to and under (i) the Transferred Receivables and any Receivables purported to be transferred hereunder whether now owned or hereafter acquired by such Originator and (ii) the Lockbox Accounts, the Lockboxes and all funds on deposit therein to secure the obligations of such Originator to Buyer hereunder (including, if and to the extent that any Transfer is recharacterized as a transfer for security under applicable law, the repayment of a loan deemed to have been made by Buyer to the applicable Originator in the amount of the Sale Price with respect thereto, including interest thereon at the Index Rate).

Section 2.03.          Originators Remain Liable.  It is expressly agreed by the Originators that, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Originator shall remain liable to the Obligor (and any other party to the related Contract) under any and all of the Receivables originated by it and under the Contracts therefor to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder.  Buyer shall not have any obligation or liability to the Obligor or any other party to the related Contract under any such Receivables or Contracts by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the granting herein of a Lien thereon or the receipt by Buyer of any payment relating thereto pursuant hereto.  The exercise by Buyer of any of its rights under this Agreement shall not release any Originator from any of its respective duties or obligations under any such Receivables or Contracts.  Buyer shall not be required or obligated in any manner to perform or fulfill any of the obligations of any Originator under or pursuant to any such Receivable or Contract, or to make any payment, or to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or the sufficiency of any performance by any party under any such Receivable or Contract, or to present or file any claims, or to take any action to collect or enforce any performance or the payment of any amounts that may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.

Section 2.04.          Sale Price Credits.  If on any day the Outstanding Balance of a Receivable is reduced or canceled as a result of any Dilution Factor then, in such event, the Buyer shall be entitled to a credit (each, a “Sale Price Credit”) against the Sale Price otherwise payable hereunder in an amount equal to the amount of such reduction or cancellation.  If the Facility Termination Date has occurred or such Sale Price Credit exceeds the Sale Price of the Receivables being sold by the applicable Originator on any such day, then such Originator shall pay the remaining amount of such Sale Price Credit in cash promptly (and in any event within one (1) Business Day) thereafter, provided that if the Facility Termination Date has not occurred, the applicable Originator shall be allowed to deduct the remaining amount of such Sale Price Credit from any indebtedness owed to it under a Subordinated Note to the extent permitted thereunder.

(j)            Intellectual Property.  As of the Effective Date (and, in the case of any New Originator, as of the Initial Sale Date with respect to such New Originator), each Originator owns or has rights to use all intellectual property necessary to continue to conduct its business as now or heretofore conducted by it or proposed to be conducted by it.  Each Originator conducts its business and affairs without infringement of or interference with any intellectual property of any other Person.  As of the Effective Date (and, in the case of each New Originator, as of the applicable Initial Sale Date), except as set forth in Schedule 4.01(j), no Originator is aware of

10

any infringement or claim of infringement by others of any material intellectual property of any Originator.  No license or approval is required for Buyer or its assignee (including the Administrative Agent) to use any programs used by the Originators in the servicing of the Receivables other than those which have been obtained and are in full force and effect.

(k)           Full Disclosure.  All information provided by or on behalf of any Transaction Party pursuant to this Agreement, any of the other Related Documents, or any other written statement or information furnished by or on behalf of any Transaction Party to Buyer relating to this Agreement, the Sold Receivables or any of the other Related Documents, in each case, taken as a whole, is true and accurate as of its date in every material respect, and none of this Agreement, any of the other Related Documents, or any other written statement or information furnished by or on behalf of any Transaction Party to Buyer relating to this Agreement or any of the other Related Documents, in each case, taken as a whole, is misleading as of its date as a result of the failure to include therein a material fact.  All information prepared by or on behalf of any Transaction Party pursuant to this Agreement, any of the other Related Documents, or any written statement furnished to Buyer has been prepared in good faith by management of the applicable Transaction Party, as the case may be, with the exercise of reasonable diligence.

(l)            Notices to Obligors.  Each Originator has directed (or, in the case of any New Originator shall have directed on or prior to the applicable Initial Sale Date) all Obligors of Transferred Receivables originated by it to remit all payments with respect to such Receivables for deposit in a Lockbox or Lockbox Account.

(u)           Representations and Warranties in Other Related Documents.  Each of the representations and warranties of each Transaction Party contained in the Related Documents (other than this Agreement) is true and correct and such Transaction Party hereby makes each such representation and warranty to, and for the benefit of, the Buyer as if the same were set forth in full herein.  Each Transaction Party consents to the assignment of Buyer’s rights with respect to all such representations and warranties to the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers (and their respective successors and assigns) pursuant to the Purchase Agreement as more fully described in Section 6.03 below.

(iii)          the Transfer of each such Receivable pursuant to this Agreement (or, if applicable, the Existing Sale Agreement) and the Receivables Assignment executed by the Originator thereof constitutes, as applicable, a valid sale, contribution, transfer, assignment, setover and conveyance to Buyer of all right, title and interest of such Originator in and to such Receivable; and

13

the Transferred Receivables and the Collections in favor of the Buyer, which security interest is prior to all other Adverse Claims and is enforceable as such as against any creditors of and purchasers from the Originators.

(iii)          Perfection.  On or prior to the Effective Date, the Originators have caused the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law and entered into Lockbox Account Agreements in order to perfect the sale of the Transferred Receivables from the Originators to the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement.

(k)           No Proceedings.  Until the date one year plus one day following the Termination Date, no Originator shall, directly or indirectly, institute or cause to be instituted against Buyer any proceeding of the type referred to in Sections 8.01(d) and 8.01(e) of the Purchase Agreement.

(l)            Mergers, Acquisitions, Sales, etc.  Other than as permitted pursuant to Sections 8.02, 8.04 or 8.05 of the Credit Agreement, no Originator shall (i) be a party to any merger or consolidation, or directly or indirectly purchase or otherwise acquire all or substantially all of the assets or any stock of any class of, or any partnership or joint venture interest in, any other Person, or otherwise create or acquire a Subsidiary, or (ii) directly or indirectly sell, transfer, assign, convey or lease whether in one or a series of transactions, all or substantially all of its assets other than pursuant hereto, or permit any Subsidiary to do any of the foregoing, except for any such merger or consolidation, sale, transfer, conveyance, lease or assignment of or by any majority-owned Subsidiary into such Person or into, with or to any other majority-owned Subsidiary and any such purchase or other acquisition by such Person or any majority-owned Subsidiary of the assets or stock of any majority-owned Subsidiary.  In connection with any merger or consolidation that is permitted pursuant to Section 8.04 of the Credit Agreement, each Originator will (i) provide written notice thereof to the Buyer, and (ii) take all such actions and deliver, or cause to be delivered, such opinion letters of counsel, certificates and other agreements that the Buyer deems reasonably necessary or desirable under the UCC and/or the

22

PPSA, as applicable, to maintain the perfection and priority of the Buyer’s ownership interest in the Receivables.

(m)          Indebtedness.  No Originator shall create, incur, assume or permit to exist any Debt, except (i) Debt of such Person to any Affected Party, Buyer Indemnified Person or any other Person expressly permitted by this Agreement or any other Related Document, and (ii) other Debt permitted pursuant to Section 8.03 of the Credit Agreement.

(n)           Modification to the Credit Agreement.  The Parent will not agree to any amendment, modification or waiver to any provision of the Credit Agreement (or any provision of the “Domestic Security Agreement” or the “Canadian Security Agreement” referred to therein that relates to the Receivables or transactions hereunder) after the date hereof without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.

(o)           Commingling.  No Originator shall (and each Originator shall cause each other member of the Parent Group not to) deposit or permit the deposit of any funds that do not constitute Collections of Transferred Receivables into any Lockbox or Lockbox Account, provided that after the Facility Termination Date, so long as any Transferred Receivables of an Obligor remain unpaid, no Originator shall instruct such Obligor to remit Collections of any Transferred Receivables (or Receivables to be transferred hereunder) to any Person or account other than to a Lockbox or Lockbox Account.  If the Facility Termination Date shall have occurred, no Originator shall instruct any Obligor which is obligated on a Transferred Receivable to remit Collections of any other Receivables owing by such Obligor other than to a Lockbox or Lockbox Account, unless the Buyer has given its prior written consent and the Originators  have implemented such procedures reasonably required by Buyer to ensure that such Obligors continue to make payments on the Transferred Receivables directly to a Lockbox or Lockbox Account.  If any funds not constituting collections of Transferred Receivables are nonetheless deposited into a Lockbox or Lockbox Account and such Originator so notifies Buyer, Buyer shall notify the Administrative Agent to promptly remit any such amounts to the applicable Originator.

(p)           Purchases of Receivables.  No Originator shall, directly or indirectly, purchase any accounts receivable from any Person without the express written consent of the Buyer.

Section 4.04.          Breach of Representations, Warranties or Covenants.  Upon discovery by any Originator or Buyer of any breach of representation, warranty or covenant described in Section 4.01(g), 4.01(l), 4.01(v), 4.01(w), 4.01(z), 4.02(l), 4.02(m), 4.03(a), 4.03(b), 4.03(c), 4.03(d), 4.03(i) and 4.03(o) with respect to any Transferred Receivable, the party discovering the same shall give prompt written notice thereof to the other parties hereto.  The Originator that breached such representation, warranty or covenant shall, if requested by notice from Buyer, on the first Business Day following receipt of such notice, either (a) repurchase the affected Transferred Receivable from Buyer for cash remitted to the applicable Lockbox Account, (b) if the Termination Date has not yet occurred, transfer ownership of a new Eligible Receivable or new Eligible Receivables to Buyer on such Business Day, or (c) in the case of Parent, make a capital contribution in cash to Buyer by remitting the amount of such capital contribution to the Lockbox Account, in each case, in an amount (the “Rejected Amount”) equal to the Billed Amount of such Transferred Receivable minus any Collections received in respect thereof.  Each

23

Originator shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that no Collections or other proceeds with respect to a Transferred Receivable so reconveyed to it are paid or deposited into any Lockbox Account.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all notices to be provided to the Buyer hereunder shall be delivered to both the Buyer and the Administrative Agent under the Purchase Agreement, and shall be effective only upon such delivery to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement.  The giving of any notice required hereunder may be waived in writing by the party entitled to receive such notice.  Failure or delay in delivering copies of any notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or other communication to any Person (other than Buyer) designated in any written communication provided hereunder to receive copies shall in no way adversely affect the effectiveness of such notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration or other communication.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, whenever it is provided herein that a notice is to be given to any other party hereto by a specific time, such notice shall only be effective if actually received by such party prior to such time, and if such notice is received after such time or on a day other than a Business Day, such notice shall only be effective on the immediately succeeding Business Day.

Section 6.02.          No Waiver; Remedies.  Buyer’s failure, at any time or times, to require strict performance by the Originators of any provision of this Agreement or any Receivables Assignment shall not waive, affect or diminish any right of Buyer thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance herewith or therewith.  Any suspension or waiver of any breach or default hereunder shall not suspend, waive or affect any other breach or default whether the same is prior or subsequent thereto and whether the same or of a different type.  None of the undertakings, agreements, warranties, covenants and representations of any Originator contained in this Agreement or any Receivables Assignment, and no breach or default by any Originator hereunder or thereunder, shall be deemed to have been suspended or waived by Buyer unless

28

such waiver or suspension is by an instrument in writing signed by an officer of or other duly authorized signatory of Buyer and directed to such Originator specifying such suspension or waiver.  Buyer’s rights and remedies under this Agreement shall be cumulative and nonexclusive of any other rights and remedies that Buyer may have under any other agreement, including the other Related Documents, by operation of law or otherwise.  Recourse to the Receivables shall not be required.

Section 6.03.          Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of each Originator, Servicer and Buyer and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except as otherwise provided herein.  No Originator nor the Servicer may assign, transfer, hypothecate or otherwise convey its rights, benefits, obligations or duties hereunder without the prior express written consent of Buyer.  Any such purported assignment, transfer, hypothecation or other conveyance by any Originator without the prior express written consent of Buyer, shall be void.  Each Originator and the Servicer acknowledges that Buyer has assigned to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers all of its rights granted hereunder, including the benefit of any indemnities under Article V, and the Administrative Agent has, to the extent of such assignment, all rights of Buyer hereunder and, to the extent permitted under the Purchase Agreement, may in turn assign such rights.  Each Originator and the Servicer agrees that the Administrative Agent may enforce directly, without joinder of Buyer, the rights set forth in this Agreement.  Each of the Administrative Agent and the Specified Parties shall be third party beneficiaries of, and shall be entitled to enforce Buyer’s rights and remedies under, this Agreement to the same extent as Buyer or any of its designated representatives may do.  The terms and provisions of this Agreement are for the purpose of defining the relative rights and obligations of each Originator, the Servicer and Buyer with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and, except for the Specified Parties and the Administrative Agent, no Person shall be a third party beneficiary of any of the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

(a)           This Agreement shall create and constitute the continuing obligations of the parties hereto in accordance with its terms, and shall remain in full force and effect until the Termination Date.

(b)           Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in any other Related Document, no termination or cancellation (regardless of cause or procedure) of any commitment made by Buyer under this Agreement shall in any way affect or impair the obligations, duties and liabilities of any Originator, the Servicer or the rights of Buyer relating to any unpaid portion of any and all recourse and indemnity obligations of such Originator or the Servicer to Buyer, including those set forth in Sections 2.04, 4.04, 5.01, 5.01, 6.12, 6.13 and 6.14, due or not due, liquidated, contingent or unliquidated or any transaction or event occurring prior to such termination, or any transaction or event, the performance of which is required after the Facility Termination Date.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in any other Related Document, all undertakings, agreements, covenants, warranties and representations of or binding upon each Originator and the Servicer, and all rights of Buyer hereunder, all as contained in the Related Documents, shall not terminate or expire, but rather shall survive any such termination or cancellation and shall continue in full force and effect until the Termination Date; provided,

29

that the rights and remedies pursuant to Sections 4.04, the indemnification and payment provisions of Article V, and the provisions of Sections 4.03(k), 6.12, 6.14 and 6.15 shall be continuing and shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

Section 6.05.          Complete Agreement; Modification of Agreement.  This Agreement and the other Related Documents constitute the complete agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, supersede all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and may not be modified, altered or amended except as set forth in Section 6.06.

Section 6.06.          Amendments and Waivers.  No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, or any consent to any departure by any Originator or the Servicer therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by each of the parties hereto; provided, that, prior to the Termination Date, no amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, or any consent to any departure by any Originator or the Servicer therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent.  No consent or demand in any case shall, in itself, entitle any party to any other consent or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

Section 6.07.          Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a)           THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH RELATED DOCUMENT (EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY RELATED DOCUMENT EXPRESSLY PROVIDES TO THE CONTRARY) AND THE OBLIGATIONS ARISING HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS, INCLUDING ALL MATTERS OF CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY AND PERFORMANCE, BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (INCLUDING SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAWS BUT OTHERWISE WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES), EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT THE VALIDITY, THE PERFECTION, THE EFFECT OF PERFECTION OR NON-PERFECTION, AND THE PRIORITY, OF THE INTERESTS OF THE BUYER IN THE RECEIVABLES OR REMEDIES HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER, IN RESPECT THEREOF, ARE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF A JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF NEW YORK, AND ANY APPLICABLE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

(b)           EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY CONSENTS AND AGREES THAT THE STATE OR FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN IN NEW YORK CITY SHALL HAVE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION TO HEAR AND DETERMINE ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES BETWEEN THEM PERTAINING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR TO ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY RELATED DOCUMENT; PROVIDED, THAT EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY APPEALS FROM THOSE COURTS MAY HAVE TO BE HEARD BY A COURT LOCATED OUTSIDE OF THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN IN NEW YORK CITY; PROVIDED, FURTHER,

30

THAT NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED OR OPERATE TO PRECLUDE BUYER FROM BRINGING SUIT OR TAKING OTHER LEGAL ACTION IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION TO REALIZE ON THE RECEIVABLES OR ANY OTHER SECURITY FOR THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE ORIGINATORS ARISING HEREUNDER, OR TO ENFORCE A JUDGMENT OR OTHER COURT ORDER IN FAVOR OF BUYER.  EACH PARTY HERETO SUBMITS AND CONSENTS IN ADVANCE TO SUCH JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION OR SUIT COMMENCED IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE BASED UPON LACK OF PERSONAL JURISDICTION, IMPROPER VENUE OR FORUM NON CONVENIENS AND HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE GRANTING OF SUCH LEGAL OR EQUITABLE RELIEF AS IS DEEMED APPROPRIATE BY SUCH COURT.  EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF THE SUMMONS, COMPLAINT AND OTHER PROCESS ISSUED IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR SUIT AND AGREES THAT SERVICE OF SUCH SUMMONS, COMPLAINT AND OTHER PROCESS MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL ADDRESSED TO SUCH PARTY AT THE ADDRESS SET FORTH IN SECTION 6.01 HEREOF AND THAT SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE DEEMED COMPLETED UPON THE EARLIER OF SUCH PARTY’S ACTUAL RECEIPT THEREOF OR THREE DAYS AFTER DEPOSIT IN THE UNITED STATES MAIL, PROPER POSTAGE PREPAID.  NOTHING IN THIS SECTION SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY HERETO TO SERVE LEGAL PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW.

extent that funds from Purchases or Collections are available to the Buyer pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement for such payment (collectively, the “Buyer Available Amounts”), in the event that amounts payable to the Originators pursuant to this Agreement exceed the Buyer Available Amounts, the excess of the amounts due hereunder (and subject to this Section 6.15) over the Buyer Available Amounts paid shall not constitute a “claim” under Section 101(5) of the Bankruptcy Code against Buyer until such time as the Buyer has Buyer Available Amounts.

Section 6.16.          Interpretation.  References herein to the “security interest” of the Buyer in the Transferred Receivables shall be given the meaning ascribed thereto in Section 1-201(37) of the UCC and, in the case of any Canadian Originator, the meaning ascribed thereto under the PPSA, in each case in the context of a security interest in accounts receivable, and accordingly shall refer to a lien or ownership interest, as applicable, consistent with the requirements of Section 2.02.

Section 6.17.          Amendment and Restatement.  Effective as of the date hereof, (a) this Agreement shall amend and restate in its entirety the Existing Sale Agreement but shall not constitute a novation thereof and (b) each reference to the Existing Sale Agreement in any of the Related Documents, or any other document, instrument or agreement delivered in connection therewith shall mean and be a reference to this Agreement.

Section 7.02.          Duties and Responsibilities of the Servicer.

(a)           Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Servicer shall conduct the servicing, administration and collection of the Transferred Receivables and shall take, or cause to be taken, all actions that (i) may be necessary or advisable to service, administer and collect each Transferred Receivable from time to time, (ii) the Servicer would take if the Transferred Receivables were owned by the Servicer, and (iii) are consistent with the Credit and Collection Policies and with a level of care no less diligent than that employed by the Servicer with respect to similar accounts receivable owned by it or its Affiliates.

(b)           In addition to the foregoing, in order to ensure that the Buyer has adequate funding for the purchase of Receivables hereunder, the Servicer shall be responsible for the following:

(i)            preparation and delivery on behalf of Buyer all Capital Purchase Requests, Capital Investment Reduction Notices, Investment Base Certificates, Monthly Reports and Weekly Reports required to be delivered under the Purchase Agreement;

(ii)           calculation and monitoring of the Investment Base and the components thereof, and whether the Receivables included in the calculation of the Net Receivables Balance are in fact Eligible Receivables; and

(iii)          establishment, maintenance and administration of the Lockbox Accounts and the Seller Account in accordance with Article VI of the Purchase Agreement.

(c)           The Servicer shall remain a non-resident of Canada for purposes of, and shall not register with any Governmental Authority in Canada in any manner that would subject it to the requirement to collect, Canadian federal goods and services tax, harmonized sales tax, Quebec sales tax or any other value added tax imposed by any Governmental Authority in Canada, and shall engage Canadian Originator to act as Sub-servicer for purposes of carrying on any servicing activities in Canada.

Section 7.03.          Collections on Receivables.

(a)           In the event that the Servicer is unable to determine the specific Transferred Receivables on which Collections have been received from the Obligor thereunder, the parties agree that such Collections shall be deemed to have been received on such Receivables in the order in which they were originated with respect to such Obligor.  In addition, if an Obligor is an obligor on Transferred Receivables and any other Receivables or indebtedness owed to any Originator, the Parent or any of their respective Affiliates then, unless otherwise required by applicable law, Collections on such Transferred Receivables or other Receivables or indebtedness shall be treated first, as a Collection of any Transferred Receivables of such Obligor, in the order in which they were originated, before being applied to any other Receivables or other indebtedness of such Obligor.  In the event that the Servicer is unable to determine the specific Transferred Receivables on which discounts, offsets or other non-cash reductions have been granted or made with respect to the Obligor thereunder, the parties agree for purposes of this Agreement only that such reductions shall be deemed to have been granted or made (i) prior to a Termination Event, on such Receivables as determined by the Servicer, and

35

(ii) from and after the occurrence of a Termination Event, in the reverse order in which they were originated with respect to such Obligor.

(b)           If the Servicer determines that amounts unrelated to the Transferred Receivables (the “Unrelated Amounts”) have been deposited in any Lockbox Account, then the Servicer shall provide written evidence thereof to the Buyer and the Administrative Agent no later than the first Business Day following the day on which the Servicer had actual knowledge thereof, which evidence shall be provided in writing and shall be otherwise satisfactory to Buyer.

(c)           Authorization of the Servicer.  Buyer hereby authorizes the Servicer to take any and all reasonable steps in its name and on its behalf necessary or desirable and not inconsistent with the rights of the Buyer hereunder, in the determination of the Servicer, to (a) collect all amounts due under any Transferred Receivable, including endorsing the applicable name on checks and other instruments representing Collections on such Receivable, and executing and delivering any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation or of partial or full release or discharge and all other comparable instruments with respect to any such Receivable and (b) after any Transferred Receivable becomes a Delinquent Receivable or a Defaulted Receivable and to the extent permitted under and in compliance with applicable law and regulations, commence proceedings with respect to the enforcement of payment of any such Receivable and the Contract therefor and adjust, settle or compromise any payments due thereunder, in each case to the same extent as the applicable Originator could have done if it had continued to own such Receivable.  The Seller shall furnish the Servicer with any powers of attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Buyer (or the Administrative Agent, as the Buyer’s Assignee) shall, following the occurrence of an Event of Servicer Termination, have the absolute and unlimited right to direct the Servicer (at the Servicer’s expense) (i) to commence or settle any legal action to enforce collection of any Transferred Receivable or (ii) to foreclose upon, repossess or take any other action that the Buyer  (or the Administrative Agent, as Buyer’s assignee) deems necessary or advisable with respect thereto.  In no event shall the Servicer be entitled to make Buyer or any Specified Party a party to any Litigation without, as the case may be, Buyer’s or such Specified Party’s express prior written consent.

(d)           Servicing Fees.  As compensation for its servicing activities and as reimbursement for its reasonable expenses in connection therewith, the Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Servicing Fees monthly on each Settlement Date.  Such Servicing Fees shall be payable from available funds in accordance with Section 2.07 and 2.08 of the Purchase Agreement.  The Servicer shall be required to pay for all expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities hereunder (including any payments to accountants, counsel or any other Person) and shall not be entitled to any payment therefor other than the Servicing Fees.

Section 7.04.          Covenants of the Servicer.  The Servicer covenants and agrees that from and after the Effective Date and until the Termination Date:

(a)           Compliance with Agreements and Applicable Laws.  The Servicer shall perform each of its obligations under this Agreement and the other Related Documents.  The Servicer shall comply with all federal, state, provincial and local laws and regulations applicable to it and

(c)           ERISA.  The Servicer shall give the Administrative Agent prompt written notice of any event that (i) could reasonably be expected to result in the imposition of a Lien under Section 412 of the IRC or Section 302 or 4068 of ERISA or applicable Canadian federal or provincial pension benefits standards legislation, or (ii) could reasonably be expected to result in the incurrence by Servicer of any liabilities under Title IV of ERISA (other than premium payments arising in the ordinary course of business) or, wind up liabilities with respect to a defined benefit pension plan under applicable Canadian federal or provincial pension benefits standards legislation.

(d)           Compliance with Credit and Collection Policies.  The Servicer shall comply with the Credit and Collection Policies with respect to each Transferred Receivable and the Contract therefor.  The Servicer shall not extend, amend, forgive, discharge, compromise, waive, cancel or otherwise modify the terms of any Transferred Receivable or amend, modify or waive any term or condition of any Contract related thereto, except that the Servicer may (i) reduce the Outstanding Balance of a Receivable as required to reflect any Dilution Factors and (ii) take such actions, to the extent permitted by the Credit and Collection Policies, as the Servicer may deem reasonably necessary or desirable in order to maximize Collections with respect to any past-due Receivable so long as, after giving effect to any such action, no Receivables which constituted Eligible Receivables prior to such action would no longer constitute Eligible Receivables as a result of such action.  The Servicer shall not without the prior written consent of the Buyer amend, modify or waive any term or provision of the Credit and Collection Policies.

(e)           Ownership of Transferred Receivables; Servicing Records.  The Servicer shall (i) identify the Transferred Receivables clearly and unambiguously in its Servicing Records to reflect that such Transferred Receivables are the property of the Buyer and that a Lien on such Transferred Receivables has been granted to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers and that undivided interests therein have been transferred pursuant to the Purchase Agreement; (ii) maintain and implement administrative and operating procedures (including, without limitation, an ability to recreate records evidencing such Receivables in the event of the

(f)            Payment and Performance of Charges and other Obligations.

(i)            Subject to Section 7.04(f)(ii), the Servicer shall pay, perform and discharge or cause to be paid, performed and discharged promptly all charges and claims payable by it, including (A) Charges imposed upon it, its income and profits, or any of its property (real, personal or mixed) and all Charges with respect to tax, social security and unemployment withholding with respect to its employees, and (B) lawful claims for labor, materials, supplies and services or otherwise before any amount thereof shall become past due.
