SALE AND PURCHASE OF RECEIVABLES

Section 2.1. Selection, Sale and Contribution of Receivables and other Sold Assets. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, the Originator may from time to time sell or contribute to the SPV, and the SPV may purchase from the Originator, all of the Originator’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Receivables described below and all Related Security, Excluded Amounts and proceeds of the foregoing, in each case whether now existing or hereafter arising or acquired as follows:

(a) Each sale and contribution of a Receivable, the Related Security, Excluded Amounts, Collections, and proceeds of the foregoing shall be evidenced by an Assignment Agreement and shall occur as of the “Purchase Date” specified in the Assignment Agreement. The Receivables to be sold and/or contributed shall be listed on the Contract Schedule to the relevant Assignment Agreement. The Originator will insure that no such Eligible Receivable shall be subject to any adverse selection which could reasonably be expected to be materially unfavorable to the SPV, any of the Lenders or their assignees in such selection for sale to the SPV.

(b) Each transfer of an Eligible Receivable pursuant to an Assignment Agreement shall be effective as of the date set forth in such Assignment Agreement. The Originator will, on the effective date of any such sale, mark its computer files relating to such Receivables, together with its other related books and records, with a notification indicating that such Receivables, together with all Related Security and proceeds thereof have been sold or contributed, as the case may be, to the SPV and are no longer assets of the Originator.

(c) The Related Security, Excluded Amounts and any proceeds relating to any Receivable which are received after the related Cut-Off Date shall be sold or contributed at the same time as such Receivable is sold or contributed hereunder, whether such Related Security and proceeds exist at such time or arise or are acquired thereafter.

Section 2.2. Intent of the Parties; Grant of Security Interest. (a) The Originator and the SPV intend the transactions hereunder to be true sales and contributions of the Sold Assets by the Originator to the SPV for all purposes, providing the SPV with the full risks and benefits of ownership of the Sold Assets (such that the Sold Assets would not be property of the Originator’s estate in the event of the Originator’s bankruptcy).

(b) If, notwithstanding the intent of the parties or any other provision hereof, a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any such Sold Assets conveyed hereunder did not constitute such a sale by the Originator to the SPV or that such sale shall for any reason is ineffective or unenforceable or that such Sold Assets are a part of the Originator’s estate (a “Recharacterization”), then this Agreement also is intended by the parties to be, and hereby is, a security agreement within the meaning of the UCC; and the conveyance by the Originator provided for in this Agreement shall be treated as the grant of, and the Originator hereby grants, to the SPV a security interest in, to and under all of the Originator’s right, title and interest in, to and under all the Sold Receivables, the Related Security, Excluded Amounts and all proceeds relating thereto, to secure the payment and performance of the Originator’s obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents or as may be determined in connection therewith by Applicable Law. The Originator shall take such actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in, and not to constitute a sale of, the Sold Assets, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected first priority


		3		Sale Agreement

security interest in favor of the SPV (and its assignee) under Applicable Law and shall be maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement. In the case of any Recharacterization, each of the Originator and the SPV represents and warrants as to itself only that each remittance of Collection hereunder will have been (i) in payment of a debt incurred by the Originator in the ordinary course of business or financial affairs of the Originator and the SPV and (ii) made in the ordinary course of business or financial affairs of the Originator and the SPV.

Section 2.3. No Recourse. Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, the purchase and sale of the Sold Assets under this Agreement shall be without recourse to the Originator.

ARTICLE III

CONSIDERATION AND PAYMENT

Section 3.1. Purchase Price. The purchase price for each Receivable and the Related Security therefore shall be not less than fair market value of such Receivable and the Related Security. The SPV shall pay the Originator the purchase price with respect to each Receivable and the Related Security therefor on the date of purchase by transfer of funds, to the extent that the SPV has received funds available for that purpose under Section 2.3 or 2.16 of the Second Tier Agreement. If the SPV did not receive sufficient funds to pay the purchase price for any Sold Assets, the remaining Sold Assets, to the extent the purchase price therefor is not paid in full, shall be deemed to have been transferred by the Originator to the SPV as a capital contribution, in return for an increase in the value of the stock of the SPV held by the Originator.

Section 3.2. Substitution of Receivables. The Originator may substitute a Receivable with a new Receivable to the extent the SPV is permitted to substitute such Receivable pursuant to Section 6.5 of the Second Tier Agreement. If the Originator substitutes any Receivable pursuant to this Section 3.2, each such Substitute Receivable shall be accompanied by a supplement to this Agreement, substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto, subjecting such Receivable, the Related Security, Collections and proceeds of the foregoing to the provisions hereof and providing with respect to such Substitute Receivable and the Related Security the information required in the schedule to such supplement.

		4		Sale Agreement

Section 4.2. Actions Evidencing Purchases.

(b) The Originator hereby authorizes the SPV or its assignee to file one or more financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto and assignments thereof, relative to all the Sold Assets now existing or hereafter arising in the name of the Originator.

Section 4.3. Power of Attorney. (a) The Originator hereby irrevocably appoints the SPV and its assigns as its attorney-in-fact with right of substitution so that the SPV and its assigns or any Person designated by the SPV or its assigns shall be authorized, without need of further authorization from the Originator to take any action and to execute any instrument that the SPV or its assigns (or such designee) may be directed to take or may be necessary or advisable to accomplish the transfer of the Sold Assets pursuant to this Agreement, including to ask, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compromise, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in connection with the Sold Assets, to receive, endorse and collect any drafts or other documents in connection therewith, and to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings that the SPV or its assigns (or such designee) may deem to be necessary or desirable for the collection thereof or to enforce compliance with the terms and conditions of, or to perform any obligations or enforce any rights of the Originator in respect of, the Sold Assets.

(b) The Originator hereby confirms and ratifies any and all actions taken by the SPV or its assigns or any other Person empowered by the SPV or its assigns as such Person’s attorney-in-fact pursuant to the powers granted hereunder.

(c) This special power of attorney shall be deemed coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked by the Originator until all the Senior Obligations shall have been finally and fully paid and performed; it being understood and agreed that assignees of the SPV, other than the Servicer, shall not exercise the powers granted under this Section 4.3 except during the existence of a Termination Event.

(e) Change of Name, Etc.

The Originator will not become or seek to become organized under the laws of more than one jurisdiction.

(c) the date on which the Originator shall fail to perform or observe any term, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document on its part to be performed or observed and any such failure shall continue unremedied for thirty (30) days after the earlier to occur of (i) the Originator having obtained knowledge thereof and (ii) the Originator having received written notice thereof from the SPV; or
