AMENDED AND RESTATED RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AGREEMENT

THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AGREEMENT dated as of November 20, 2003 is among Convergys Funding Corporation, an Ohio corporation (“Seller”), Convergys Corporation, an Ohio corporation (“Convergys”), as initial Servicer (the Servicer together with Seller, the “Seller Parties” and each, a “Seller Party”), the funding entities (other than Fifth Third) listed on Schedule A to this Agreement (together with their respective successors and assigns hereunder, the “Financial Institutions”), Fifth Third Bank, an Ohio banking corporation (“Fifth Third”), Falcon Asset Securitization Corporation (“Falcon”) and Bank One, NA, with its main office in Chicago, Illinois, as agent and administrator for Falcon (in such capacity, together with its successors, the “Falcon Agent”) and as agent for the Purchasers hereunder (together with its successors and assigns hereunder, the “Administrative Agent”). Unless defined elsewhere herein, capitalized terms used in this Agreement will have the meanings assigned to such terms in Exhibit I. This Agreement amends and restates in its entirety that certain Receivables Purchase Agreement dated as of September 28, 1999, as amended from time to time prior to the date hereof, by and among the parties hereto other than Fifth Third (the “Existing Agreement”).

PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS

Seller desires to transfer and assign Purchaser Interests to the Purchasers from time to time.

Falcon may, in its absolute and sole discretion, purchase Purchaser Interests from Seller from time to time, and Fifth Third shall purchase Purchaser Interests from Seller from time to time.

In the event that Falcon declines to make any purchase, the Financial Institutions in the Falcon Group will, at the request of Seller, purchase from time to time Purchaser Interests that were declined by Falcon. In addition, the Financial Institutions in the Falcon Group have agreed to provide a liquidity facility to Falcon in accordance with the terms hereof.

Bank One, NA has been requested and is willing to act as Falcon Agent on behalf of Falcon and its Financial Institutions in the Falcon Group, and as the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Falcon Agent and all of the Purchasers in accordance with the terms hereof.

NOW, THEREFORE, in accordance with the premises and the mutual covenants contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree to amend and restate the Existing Agreement in its entirety as set forth herein.

ARTICLE I.

PURCHASE ARRANGEMENTS

Section 1.1 Purchase Facility.

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, Seller may, at its option, sell and assign Purchaser Interests to the Falcon Agent for the benefit of one or more of the Purchasers in Falcon’s Group and simultaneously to Fifth Third, whereupon (i) Fifth Third shall purchase, and (ii) Falcon may, at its option, instruct the Falcon Agent to purchase on Falcon’s behalf from time to time, or if Falcon will decline to purchase, the Falcon Agent will purchase, on behalf of the Financial Institutions in the Falcon Group, Purchaser Interests; provided, however, that (A) the Purchase Prices for the Purchaser Interests sold on any given Business Day shall be ratable in accordance with each Group’s respective Percentage, and (B) in no event shall the aggregate Capital outstanding hereunder from either Group exceed the lesser of (i) such Group’s Percentage of the Purchase Limit and (ii) the Commitment Availability for such Group during the period from the date hereof to but not including the Facility Termination Date. Seller hereby assigns, transfers and conveys to the Falcon Agent for the benefit of the Falcon Group and to Fifth Third, and each of the Falcon Agent and Fifth Third hereby acquires, their respective Percentages of all of Seller’s now owned and existing and hereafter arising or acquired right, title and interest in and to the Purchaser Interests.

Section 1.2 Increases. Seller will provide the Falcon Agent and Fifth Third with at least two Business Days’ prior notice in a form set forth as Exhibit II hereto of each Incremental Purchase (a “Purchase Notice”). Each Purchase Notice will be subject to Section 6.2 hereof and, except as set forth below, will be irrevocable and will specify the requested Purchase Price (which will not be less than $1,000,000 for the Falcon Group or less than $500,000 for the Fifth Third Group), the date of purchase and, solely in the case of an Incremental Purchase by the Falcon Group to be funded by the Financial Institutions in the Falcon Group, the requested Discount Rate and Tranche Period. Following receipt of a Purchase Notice, the Falcon Agent will determine whether Falcon agrees to make its Percentage of the purchase. If Falcon declines to make its Percentage of the proposed purchase (referred to herein as “Falcon Refusal”), Seller may cancel the Purchase Notice as to the Falcon Group or, in the absence of such a cancellation, the Incremental Purchase of the Falcon Group’s Percentage of the Purchaser Interests will be made by the Financial Institutions, and, whether or not such cancellation occurs, the Incremental Purchase of the Fifth Third Group’s Percentage of the proposed purchase will be made by Fifth Third. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to each Incremental Purchase occurring after a Falcon Refusal, (unless another Falcon Refusal shall occur with respect to such Incremental Purchase) Falcon’s percentage of the proposed purchase shall be disproportionately higher for each such purchase and Fifth Third’s percentage shall be disproportionably lower until such time as Falcon’s Percentage and Fifth Third’s Percentage are the same respective Percentages in effect on the date of this Agreement or in effect on the date of any amendment or modification to the definition of Percentage. On the date of each Incremental Purchase, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article VI, (a) Falcon or the Financial Institutions, as applicable, will wire transfer to the Facility Account, in immediately available funds, no later than 12:00 noon (Chicago time), an amount equal to (i) in the case of Falcon, the Falcon Group’s

Percentage of the aggregate Purchase Price of the Purchaser Interests the Falcon Group is then purchasing or (ii) in the case of a Financial Institution in the Falcon Group, such Financial Institution’s Pro Rata Share of the Falcon Group’s Percentage of aggregate Purchase Price of the Purchaser Interests the Financial Institutions in the Falcon Group are purchasing, and (b) Fifth Third will wire transfer to the Facility Account, in immediately available funds, no later than 12:00 noon (Chicago time), an amount equal to the Fifth Third Group’s Percentage of the aggregate Purchase Price of the Purchaser Interests the Fifth Third Group is then purchasing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there may not be more than two Incremental Purchases and/or Aggregate Reductions per week per Group, and all Incremental Purchases shall be made ratably between the Group’s in accordance with their respective Percentages.

Section 1.3 Decreases. Seller will provide each of the Falcon Agent and Fifth Third with prior written notice in conformity with the Required Notice Period of any reduction from Collections requested by Seller (a “Reduction Notice”) of any proposed reduction of Aggregate Capital from Collections and their respective Percentages thereof. Such Reduction Notice will designate (i) the date (the “Proposed Reduction Date”) upon which any such reduction of Aggregate Capital will occur (which date will give effect to the applicable Required Notice Period), (ii) the amount of Aggregate Capital to be reduced which will be applied ratably to the Purchaser Interests of both Groups (the “Aggregate Reduction”), and (iii) each Group’s Percentage of such Aggregate Reduction. Only one (1) Reduction Notice will be outstanding at any time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no voluntary Aggregate Reduction will be made following the occurrence of the Amortization Date without the prior written consent of the Falcon Agent and Fifth Third. All Aggregate Reductions shall be made ratably between the Groups in accordance with their respective Percentages, and all amounts paid for the benefit of the Falcon Group shall be distributed by the Falcon Agent to Falcon and the Financial Institutions in the Falcon Group ratably in accordance with their respective shares (if any) of the Capital outstanding from the Falcon Group.

Section 1.4 Payment Requirements. All amounts to be paid or deposited by any Seller Party pursuant to any provision of this Agreement will be paid or deposited in accordance with the terms hereof no later than 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time) on the day when due in immediately available funds, and if not received before 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time) will be deemed to be received on the next succeeding Business Day. If such amounts are payable to a Purchaser in the Falcon Group, they will be paid to the Falcon Agent, for the account of such Purchaser, at the Falcon Agent’s headquarters in Chicago, Illinois until otherwise notified by the Falcon Agent. If such amounts are payable to Fifth Third, they will be paid to Fifth Third at its headquarters in Cincinnati, Ohio until otherwise notified by Fifth Third. All computations of Yield, per annum fees calculated as part of any CP Costs, per annum fees hereunder and under the Fee Letters will be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days elapsed. If any amount hereunder will be payable on a day which is not a Business Day, such amount will be payable on the next succeeding Business Day.

ARTICLE II.

PAYMENTS AND COLLECTIONS

Section 2.1 Payments. Notwithstanding any limitation on recourse contained in this Agreement, Seller will immediately pay to the Falcon Agent, for the benefit of the relevant Purchaser(s) in the Falcon Group, and Fifth Third, on a full recourse basis, (i) such fees as set forth in the applicable Fee Letter (which fees, in the case of the Falcon Group, will be sufficient to pay all fees owing to the Financial Institutions in the Falcon Group), (ii) all CP Costs applicable to their respective Group’s Purchaser Interests, (iii) all amounts payable as Yield to their respective Groups, (iv) their respective Group’s Percentage of all amounts payable as Deemed Collections (which will be immediately due and payable by Seller and applied to reduce outstanding Aggregate Capital hereunder in accordance with Sections 2.2 and 2.3 hereof), (v) all amounts payable to reduce the Seller Interest, if required, pursuant to Section 2.6 hereof, (vi) all amounts payable pursuant to Article X, if any, (vii) all Servicer costs and expenses, including the Servicing Fee, in connection with servicing, administering and collecting the Receivables, (viii) all Broken Funding Costs applicable to their respective Group’s Purchaser Interest and (ix) all Default Fees applicable to their respective Group’s Purchaser Interest (collectively, the “Obligations”). If any Person fails to pay any of the Obligations when due, such Person agrees to pay, on demand, the Default Fee in respect thereof until paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of this Agreement or any Fee Letter will require the payment or permit the collection of any amounts hereunder in excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law. If at any time Seller receives any Collections or is deemed to receive any Collections, Seller will immediately pay such Collections or Deemed Collections to the Servicer for application in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof and, at all times prior to such payment, such Collections or Deemed Collections will be held in trust by Seller for the exclusive benefit of the Purchasers and the Agents.

Section 2.2 Collections Prior to Amortization. Prior to the Amortization Date, any Collections and/or Deemed Collections received by the Servicer will be set aside and held in trust by the Servicer for the payment of any accrued and unpaid Aggregate Unpaids or for a Reinvestment as provided in this Section 2.2. If at any time any Collections are received by the Servicer prior to the Amortization Date, (i) the Servicer will set aside the Termination Percentage (hereinafter defined) of Collections evidenced by the Purchaser Interests of each Terminating Financial Institution in the Falcon Group and (ii) Seller hereby requests and the Purchasers (other than any Terminating Financial Institutions in the Falcon Group) hereby agree to make, simultaneously with such receipt, a reinvestment (each, a “Reinvestment”) with that portion of the balance of each and every Collection received by the Servicer that is part of any Purchaser Interest in which such Purchaser has an interest (other than any Purchaser Interests of Terminating Financial Institutions in the Falcon Group), such that after giving effect to such Reinvestment, the amount of Capital of each such Purchaser Interest immediately after such receipt and corresponding Reinvestment will be equal to the amount of Capital immediately prior to such receipt. On each Settlement Date prior to the occurrence of the Amortization Date, the Servicer will remit to the Falcon Agent’s and Fifth Third’s respective accounts the amounts set aside for each Group during the preceding Settlement Period that have not been subject to a Reinvestment and apply such amounts (if not previously paid in accordance with Section 2.1) first, to reduce unpaid Obligations owing to such Group and second, to reduce the Capital of all

Purchaser Interests of Terminating Financial Institutions in the Falcon Group, applied ratably to each Terminating Financial Institution in the Falcon Group according to its respective Termination Percentage. If such Obligations will be reduced to zero, any additional Collections received by the Servicer (i) if applicable, will be remitted to the Falcon Agent’s and Fifth Third’s respective accounts no later than 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time) to the extent required to fund their respective Percentages of any Aggregate Reduction on such Settlement Date and (ii) any balance remaining thereafter will be remitted from the Servicer to Seller on such Settlement Date. Each Terminating Financial Institution in the Falcon Group will be allocated a ratable portion of the Falcon Group’s Percentage of Collections from the date of any assignment by Falcon pursuant to Section 13.6 (the “Termination Date”) until such Terminating Financing Institution’s Capital will be paid in full. This ratable portion will be calculated on the Termination Date of each Terminating Financial Institution in the Falcon Group as a percentage equal to (i) Capital of such Terminating Financial Institution outstanding on its Termination Date, divided by (ii) the aggregate Capital outstanding from the Falcon Group on such Termination Date (the “Termination Percentage”). Each Terminating Financial Institution’s Termination Percentage will remain constant prior to the Amortization Date. On and after the Amortization Date, each Termination Percentage will be disregarded, and each Terminating Financial Institution’s Capital will be reduced ratably with all Financial Institutions in the Falcon Group in accordance with Section 2.3.

Section 2.3 Collections Following Amortization. On the Amortization Date and on each day thereafter, the Servicer will set aside and hold in trust, for the holder of each Purchaser Interest, all Collections received on such day in respect of such Purchaser Interest and an additional amount of Collections for the payment of any accrued and unpaid Obligations owed by Seller to such holders of Purchaser Interests and not previously paid by Seller in accordance with Section 2.1 hereof. On and after the Amortization Date, the Servicer will, within one (1) Business Day following receipt of any Collections: (i) remit to the Falcon Agent’s and Fifth Third’s respective accounts the amounts set aside for the members of their respective Groups pursuant to the preceding sentence, and (ii) apply such amounts to reduce the Capital associated with each such Purchaser Interest and any other Aggregate Unpaids owing to the holder of each such Purchaser Interest.

Section 2.4 Application of Collections.

(a) If there will be insufficient funds on deposit for the Servicer to distribute funds in payment in full of the aforementioned amounts pursuant to Section 2.2 or 2.3 (as applicable), the Servicer will distribute funds:

first, to the payment of the Servicer’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection with servicing, administering and collecting the Receivables, including without limitation, the Servicing Fee, if Seller or one of its Affiliates is not then acting as the Servicer,

second, to the reimbursement of the Agents’ and the Purchasers’ costs of collection and enforcement of this Agreement,

third, (to the extent applicable) to the ratable reduction of the Aggregate Capital (without regard to any Termination Percentage),

fourth, for the ratable payment of all other unpaid Obligations, provided that to the extent such Obligations relate to the payment of Servicer costs and expenses (including the Servicing Fee) when Seller or one of its Affiliates is acting as the Servicer, such costs and expenses will not be paid until after the payment in full of all other Obligations, and

fifth, after the Aggregate Unpaids have been indefeasibly reduced to zero, to Seller.

Collections applied to the payment of Aggregate Unpaids will be distributed in accordance with the aforementioned provisions, and, giving effect to each of the priorities set forth in Section 2.4 above, will be shared ratably (within each priority) among the Agents and the Purchasers in accordance with the amount of such Aggregate Unpaids owing to each of them in respect of each such priority.

Section 2.5 Payment Rescission. No payment of any of the Aggregate Unpaids will be considered paid or applied hereunder to the extent that, at any time, all or any portion of such payment or application is rescinded by application of law or judicial authority, or must otherwise be returned or refunded for any reason. Seller will remain obligated for the amount of any payment or application so rescinded, returned or refunded, and will promptly pay to the Falcon Agent’s and Fifth Third’s respective accounts (for application to the Person or Persons who suffered such rescission, return or refund) the full amount thereof, plus the Default Fee from the date of any such rescission, return or refunding.

Section 2.6 Maximum Purchaser Interests. Seller will ensure that the Purchaser Interests of all Purchasers will at no time exceed in the aggregate 100%. If the aggregate of the Purchaser Interests of the Purchasers exceeds 100%, Seller will pay to each of the Falcon Agent’s and Fifth Third’s respective accounts within one (1) Business Day their respective Percentage of an amount to be applied to reduce the aggregate Capital of such Group (as allocated by the Falcon Agent or Fifth Third’s as applicable), such that after giving effect to such payments, the aggregate of the Purchaser Interests equals or is less than l00%.

Section 2.7 Clean Up Call. In addition to Seller’s rights pursuant to Section 1.3, Seller will have the right (after providing written notice to the Falcon Agent and Fifth Third in accordance with the Required Notice Period), at any time following the reduction of the Aggregate Capital to a level that is less than 10.0% of the original Purchase Limit, to repurchase from the Purchasers all, but not less than all, of the then outstanding Purchaser Interests (a “Clean-up Call”). The aggregate purchase price in respect thereof will be an amount equal to the Aggregate Unpaids through the date of such repurchase, payable in immediately available funds. Such repurchase will be without representation, warranty or recourse of any kind by, on the part of, or against any of the Purchasers or Agents. Upon such payment in full of the Aggregate Unpaids following a Clean-up Call, this Agreement will terminate and be of no force and effect, except for provisions which expressly survive termination.

ARTICLE III.

CP FUNDING

Section 3.1 CP Costs. Seller will pay CP Costs with respect to the Capital associated with each Purchaser Interest (a) of Falcon for each day that any Capital in respect of such Purchaser Interest is outstanding and (b) of Fifth Third for each day that any Capital in respect of such Purchaser Interest is outstanding during a CP Availability Period. Each such Purchaser Interest funded substantially with Pooled Commercial Paper will accrue CP Costs each day on a pro rata basis, based upon the percentage share the Capital in respect of such Purchaser Interest represents in relation to all assets held by Falcon or Fountain Square, as applicable, and funded substantially with Pooled Commercial Paper.

Section 3.2 CP Costs Payments. On each applicable Settlement Date, Seller will pay to the Falcon Agent’s and Fifth Third’s respective accounts (for the benefit of Falcon in the case of the Falcon Agent) an aggregate amount equal to all accrued and unpaid CP Costs in respect of the Capital associated with all Purchaser Interests of Falcon or Fifth Third, as the case may be, for the immediately preceding Accrual Period in accordance with Article II hereof.

Section 3.3 Calculation of CP Costs. On the 3rd Business Day of each month hereafter while Falcon has any Purchaser Interest outstanding and Fifth Third has funding available from Fountain Square, the Falcon Agent will calculate the aggregate amount of CP Costs owing to Falcon for the applicable Accrual Period, and Fifth Third will calculate the aggregate amount of CP Costs owing to Fifth Third for the applicable Accrual Period, and the Falcon Agent and Fifth Third will notify Seller of such aggregate amounts for each of their respective Groups.

ARTICLE IV.

LIQUIDITY FUNDING

Section 4.1 Liquidity Funding. Each Liquidity Interest will accrue Yield for each day during its Tranche Period at either the LIBO Rate or the Base Rate in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. Until Seller gives notice to the Falcon Agent or Fifth Third, as applicable, of another Discount Rate in accordance with Section 4.4 hereof, the initial Discount Rate for any Purchaser Interest transferred by Falcon to the Financial Institutions in the Falcon Group pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof and for any Fifth Third Liquidity Interest will be the Base Rate. If the Financial Institutions in the Falcon Group acquire by assignment from Falcon any Purchaser Interest pursuant to Article XIII, each Purchaser Interest so assigned will each be deemed to have a new Tranche Period commencing on the date of any such assignment. If the CP Availability Period ends, each Purchaser Interest of Fifth Third will be deemed to have a new Tranche Period commencing on the date the CP Availability Period ended.

Section 4.2 Yield Payments. On the Settlement Date for each Liquidity Interest, Seller will pay to the Falcon Agent (for the benefit of the Financial Institutions) or to Fifth Third, as the case may be, an aggregate amount equal to the accrued and unpaid Yield for the entire Tranche Period of each such Liquidity Interest in accordance with Article II hereof.

Section 4.3 Selection and Continuation of Tranche Periods.

(a) With consultation from (and approval by) the Falcon Agent or Fifth Third, as applicable, Seller will from time to time request Tranche Periods for the Liquidity Interests, provided that, at any time a Liquidity Interest is outstanding from any Financial Institution in the Falcon Group or Fifth Third, Seller will always request Tranche Periods from such Purchaser such that at least one Tranche Period will end on the date specified in clause (A) of the definition of Settlement Date.

(b) Seller, on the one hand, and as applicable, the Falcon Agent or Fifth Third, on the other hand, upon notice to and consent by the other received at least three (3) Business Days prior to the end of a Tranche Period (the “Terminating Tranche”) for any Purchaser Interest, may, effective on the last day of the Terminating Tranche: (i) divide any such Purchaser Interest into multiple Purchaser Interests of the same Group, (ii) combine any such Purchaser Interest with one or more other Purchaser Interests of the same Group that have a Terminating Tranche ending on the same day as such Terminating Tranche or (iii) combine any such Purchaser Interest with a new Purchaser Interests of the same Group to be purchased on the day such Terminating Tranche ends, provided, that in no event may a Purchaser Interest of Falcon be combined with a Purchaser Interest of the Financial Institutions or of Fifth Third, and in no event may a Purchaser Interest of Fifth Third be combined with a Purchaser Interest of anyone in the Falcon Group.

Section 4.4 Liquidity Interest Discount Rates. Seller may select the LIBO Rate or the Base Rate for each Liquidity Interest. Seller will by 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time): (i) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the expiration of any Terminating Tranche with respect to which the LIBO Rate is being requested as a new Discount Rate and (ii) at least one (1) Business Day prior to the expiration of any Terminating Tranche with respect to which the Base Rate is being requested as a new Discount Rate, give the Falcon Agent or Fifth Third, as the case may be, irrevocable notice of the new Discount Rate for the Purchaser Interest associated with such Terminating Tranche. Until Seller gives notice to the applicable Person in accordance with the preceding sentence of another Discount Rate, the initial Discount Rate for any Purchaser Interest transferred to the Financial Institutions in the Falcon Group pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof, and of any Purchaser Interest of Fifth Third outstanding when the CP Availability Period ends, will be the Base Rate.

Section 4.5 Suspension of the LIBO Rate.

(a) If any Financial Institution in the Falcon Group or Fifth Third notifies Seller that it has determined that funding its Liquidity Interest at a LIBO Rate would violate any applicable law, rule, regulation, or directive of any governmental or regulatory authority, whether or not having the force of law, or that (i) deposits of a type and maturity appropriate to match fund its Liquidity Interests at such LIBO Rate are not available or (ii) such LIBO Rate does not accurately reflect the cost of acquiring or maintaining a Liquidity Interest at such LIBO Rate, then the members of the applicable Group will suspend the availability of such LIBO Rate and require Seller to select the Base Rate for any Liquidity Interest accruing Yield at such LIBO Rate.

(b) If less than all of the Financial Institutions in the Falcon Group give a notice to the Falcon Agent pursuant to Section 4.5(a), each Financial Institution in the Falcon Group which gave such a notice will be obliged, at the request of Seller, Falcon or the Falcon Agent, to assign all of its rights and obligations hereunder to (i) another Financial Institution or (ii) another funding entity nominated by Seller or the Falcon Agent that is acceptable to Falcon and willing to participate in this Agreement through the Liquidity Termination Date in the place of such notifying Financial Institution; provided that (i) the notifying Financial Institution receives payment in full, pursuant to an Assignment Agreement, of an amount equal to such notifying Financial Institution’s Pro Rata Share of the Capital and Yield owing to all of the Financial Institutions in the Falcon Group and all accrued but unpaid fees and other costs and expenses payable in respect of its Pro Rata Share of the Purchaser Interests of the Financial Institutions, and (ii) the replacement Financial Institution otherwise satisfies the requirements of Section 12.l(b).

ARTICLE V.

ARTICLE VIII.

ADMINISTRATION AND COLLECTION

Section 8.1 Designation of Servicer.

(a) The servicing, administration and collection of the Receivables will be conducted by such Person (the “Servicer”) so designated from time to time in accordance with this Section 8.1. Convergys is hereby designated as, and hereby agrees to perform the duties and obligations of the Servicer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The Administrative Agent may and shall, upon the direction of the Falcon Agent and Fifth Third, at any time after the occurrence of an Amortization Event designate as Servicer any Person to succeed Convergys or any successor Servicer.

(b) Without the prior written consent of Fifth Third, the Falcon Agent and the Required Financial Institutions in the Falcon Group, Convergys will not be permitted to delegate any of its duties or responsibilities as Servicer to any Person other than (i) Seller, (ii) the Originators and (iii) with respect to certain Charged-Off Receivables, outside collection agencies in accordance with its customary practices. Seller will not be permitted to further delegate to any other Person any of the duties or responsibilities of the Servicer delegated to it by Convergys. If at any time the Falcon Agent and Fifth Third will designate as Servicer any Person other than Convergys, all duties and responsibilities theretofore delegated by Convergys to Seller or to either of the Originators may, at the discretion of any of the Falcon Agent or Fifth Third, be terminated forthwith on notice given by the Falcon Agent or Fifth Third, as applicable, to the other parties to this Agreement.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing subsection (b), (i) Convergys will be and remain primarily liable to the Agents and the Purchasers for the full and prompt performance of all duties and responsibilities of the Servicer hereunder and (ii) the Agents and the Purchasers will be entitled to deal exclusively with Convergys in matters relating to the discharge by the Servicer of its duties and responsibilities hereunder. The Agents and the Purchasers will not be required to give notice, demand or other communication to any Person other than Convergys in order for communication to the Servicer and its sub-servicer or other delegate with respect thereto to be accomplished. Convergys, at all times that it is the Servicer, will be responsible for providing any sub-servicer or other delegate of the Servicer with any notice given to the Servicer under this Agreement.

Section 8.2 Duties of Servicer.

(a) The Servicer will take or cause to be taken all such actions as may be necessary or advisable to collect each Receivable from time to time, all in accordance with applicable laws, rules and regulations, with reasonable care and diligence, and in accordance with the applicable Credit and Collection Policy.

(b) The Servicer will instruct all Obligors to pay all Collections directly to a Lock-Box or Collection Account. The Servicer will effect a Collection Account Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit VI with each bank party to a Collection Account at any time. In the case of any remittances received in any Lock-Box or Collection Account that will have been identified, to the satisfaction of the Servicer, to not constitute Collections or other proceeds of the Receivables or the Related Security, the Servicer will promptly remit such items to the Person identified to it as being the owner of such remittances. From and after the date the Administrative Agent delivers to any Collection Bank a Collection Notice pursuant to Section 8.3, the Administrative Agent may request that the Servicer, and the Servicer thereupon promptly will instruct all Obligors with respect to the Receivables, to remit all payments thereon to a new depositary account specified by the Administrative Agent and, at all times thereafter. Seller and the Servicer will not deposit or otherwise credit, and will not permit any other Person to deposit or otherwise credit to such new depositary account any cash or payment item other than Collections.

(c) The Servicer will administer the Collections in accordance with the procedures described herein and in Article II. The Servicer will set aside and hold in trust for the account of Seller and the Purchasers their respective shares of the Collections of Receivables in accordance with Article II. The Servicer will, upon the request of any Agent, segregate, in a manner acceptable to the Administrative Agent, all cash, checks and other instruments received by it from time to time constituting Collections from the general funds of the Servicer or Seller prior to the remittance thereof in accordance with Article II. If the Servicer will be required to segregate Collections pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Servicer will segregate and deposit with a bank designated by the Administrative Agent such allocable share of Collections of Receivables set aside for the Purchasers on the first Business Day following receipt by the Servicer of such Collections, duly endorsed or with duly executed instruments of transfer.

(d) The Servicer may, in accordance with the applicable Credit and Collection Policy, extend the maturity of any Receivable or adjust the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable as the Servicer determines to be appropriate to maximize Collections thereof; provided, however, that such extension or adjustment will not alter the status of such Receivable as a Delinquent Receivable, Defaulted Receivable or Charged-Off Receivable or limit the rights of the Agents or the Purchasers under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Administrative Agent will have the absolute and unlimited right to direct the Servicer to commence or settle any legal action with respect to any Receivable or to foreclose upon or repossess any Related Security.

(e) The Servicer will hold in trust for Seller and the Purchasers all Records that (i) evidence or relate to the Receivables, the related Invoices and Related Security or (ii) are otherwise necessary or desirable to collect the Receivables and will, as soon as practicable upon demand of the Falcon Agent or Fifth Third, deliver or make available to the Administrative Agent all such Records, at a place selected by the Administrative Agent. The Servicer will, as soon as practicable following receipt thereof turn over to Seller any cash collections or other cash proceeds received with respect to Indebtedness not constituting Receivables. The Servicer will, from time to time at the request of any Purchaser, furnish to the Purchasers (promptly after any such request) a calculation of the amounts set aside for the Purchasers pursuant to Article II.

(f) Any payment by an Obligor in respect of any indebtedness owed by it to Convergys or either of the Originators or Seller will, except as otherwise specified by such Obligor or otherwise required by contract or law and unless otherwise instructed by the Administrative Agent, be applied as a Collection of any Receivable of such Obligor (starting with the oldest such Receivable) to the extent of any amounts then due and payable thereunder before being applied to any other receivable or other obligation of such Obligor.

Section 8.3 Collection Notices. The Administrative Agent is authorized at any time to date and to deliver to the Collection Banks the Collection Notices. Seller hereby transfers to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Falcon Agent and the Purchasers, effective when the Administrative Agent delivers such notice, the exclusive ownership and control of each Lock-Box and the Collection Accounts. In case any authorized signatory of Seller whose signature appears on a Collection Account Agreement will cease to have such authority before the delivery of such notice, such Collection Notice will nevertheless be valid as if such authority had remained in force. Seller hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent, and agrees that the Administrative Agent will be entitled to (i) endorse Seller’s name on checks and other instruments representing Collections, (ii) enforce the Receivables, the related Invoices and the Related Security and (iii) take such action as will be necessary or desirable to cause all cash, checks and other instruments constituting Collections of Receivables to come into the possession of the Administrative Agent rather than Seller.

Section 8.4 Responsibilities of Seller. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the exercise by the Agents and the Purchasers of their rights hereunder will not release the Servicer, Convergys, either of the Originators or Seller from any of their duties or obligations with respect to any Receivables or under the related Contracts or Invoices. The Purchasers will have no obligation or liability with respect to any Receivables or related Contracts or Invoices, nor will any of them be obligated to perform the obligations of Seller or either of the Originators.

Section 8.5 Reports. The Servicer will prepare and forward to the Falcon Agent and Fifth Third on the 17th day of each month and at such other times as any Agent or Fifth Third may request, a Monthly Report, and (ii) at such times as the any Agent or Fifth Third will request, a listing by Obligor of all Receivables together with an aging of such Receivables; provided, however, that if the 17th day of any month is not a Business Day, then the Monthly Report for such month will be due on the subsequent Business Day.

Section 8.6 Servicing Fees. In consideration of Convergys’ agreement to act as Servicer hereunder, the Purchasers hereby agree that, so long as Convergys will continue to perform as Servicer hereunder, Seller will pay over to Convergys a fee (the “Servicing Fee”) equal to 1.0% per annum of the aggregate amount of outstanding Capital as compensation for its servicing activities, which fee will be payable in accordance with the terms of Article III.

Each Purchaser represents and warrants to the Agents and Fifth Third that it has and will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or Fifth Third or any other Purchaser and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, prospects, financial and other conditions and creditworthiness of Seller and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and all other documents related hereto or thereto.

Section 11.6 Reimbursement and Indemnification.

(a) The Financial Institutions in the Falcon Group agree to reimburse and indemnify the Falcon Agent and its officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents ratably according to their Pro Rata Shares, to the extent not paid or reimbursed by the Seller Parties (i) for any amounts for which the Falcon Agent, acting in its capacity as such Agent, is entitled to reimbursement by the Seller Parties hereunder and (ii) for any other expenses incurred by the Falcon Agent, in its capacity as such and acting on behalf of the Purchasers, in connection with the administration and enforcement of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

(b) Each of the Financial Institutions in the Falcon Group and Fifth Third agree to reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent and its officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents ratably according to their respective Commitments or Liquidity Commitments as applicable, to the extent not paid or reimbursed by the Seller Parties (i) for any amounts for which the Administrative Agent, acting in its capacity as such, is entitled to reimbursement by the Seller Parties hereunder and (ii) for any other expenses incurred by the

Administrative Agent, in its capacity as such and acting on behalf of the Purchasers, in connection with the administration and enforcement of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

Section 11.7 Each of the Agents and Fifth Third in its Individual Capacity. Each of the Agents, Fifth Third and their respective Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with Seller or any Affiliate of Seller as though it were not an Agent or a Purchaser hereunder. With respect to the acquisition of Purchaser Interests pursuant to this Agreement, the Falcon Agent will have the same rights and powers under this Agreement in its individual capacity as any Purchaser and may exercise the same as though it were not the Falcon Agent, and the terms “Financial Institution” and “Financial Institutions” will include Bank One and the terms “Purchaser” and “Purchasers” will include Bank One and Fifth Third.

Section 11.8 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may, upon five days notice to Seller and the Purchasers, and the Administrative Agent will, upon the direction of all of the Purchasers (other than Bank One) resign as Administrative Agent hereunder. If the Administrative Agent will resign, then the Required Financial Institutions and Fifth Third during such five-day period will appoint from among the Purchasers a successor agent. If for any reason no successor Administrative Agent is appointed by the Required Financial Institutions during such five-day period, then effective upon the termination of such five day period, the Purchasers will perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents and Seller and the Servicer (as applicable) will make all payments in respect of the Aggregate Unpaids directly to the applicable Purchasers and for all purposes will deal directly with the Purchasers after the effectiveness of any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the retiring Administrative Agent will be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents and the provisions of this Article XI and Article X will continue in effect for its benefit with respect to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement and under the other Transaction Documents.

Further, Fifth Third, Seller and each Financial Institution in the Falcon Group hereby agree that any assignee of Falcon of this Agreement or all or any of the Purchaser Interests of Falcon will have all of the rights and benefits under this Agreement as if the term “Falcon” explicitly referred to such party, and no

Seller and each member of the Falcon Group hereby agree and consent to the complete or partial assignment by Fifth Third of all or any portion of its rights under, interest in, title to and obligations under this Agreement to Fountain Square. Neither Seller nor the Servicer will have the right to assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement.

The consent of Falcon will be required prior to the effectiveness of any such assignment. Each assignee of a Financial Institution must have a short-term debt rating of A-1 or better by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group and P-1 by Moody’s Investor Service. Inc. and must agree to deliver to the Falcon Agent, promptly following any request therefor by the Falcon Agent or Falcon, an enforceability opinion in form and substance satisfactory to the Falcon Agent and Falcon. Upon delivery of the executed Assignment Agreement to the Administrative Agent and the Falcon Agent, such selling Financial Institution will be released from its obligations hereunder to the extent of such assignment. Thereafter the Purchasing Financial Institution will for all purposes be a Financial Institution party to this Agreement and will have all the rights and obligations of a Financial Institution under this Agreement to the same extent as if it were an original party hereto and no further consent or action by Seller, the Purchasers, the Administrative Agent, Falcon Agent or Fifth Third will be required.

(c) Each of the Financial Institutions in the Falcon Group agrees that in the event that it will cease to have a short-term debt rating of A-1 or better by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group and P-l by Moody’s Investor Service, Inc. (an “Affected Financial Institution”), such Affected Financial Institution will be obliged, at the request of Falcon or the Falcon Agent, to assign all of its rights and obligations hereunder to (x) another Financial Institution or (y) another funding entity nominated by the Falcon Agent and acceptable to Falcon, and willing to participate in this Agreement through the Liquidity Termination Date in the place of such Affected Financial Institution; provided that the Affected Financial Institution receives payment in full, pursuant to an Assignment Agreement, of an amount equal to such Financial Institution’s Pro Rata Share of the Aggregate Capital and Yield owing to the Financial Institutions and all accrued but unpaid fees and other costs and expenses payable in respect of its Pro Rata Share of the Purchaser Interests of the Financial Institutions.

Section 12.2 Participations.

(a) Any Financial Institution in the Falcon Group may, in the ordinary course of its business at any time sell to one or more Persons (each, a “Participant”) participating interests in its Pro Rata Share of the Purchaser Interests of the Financial Institutions in the Falcon Group, its obligation to pay Falcon its Acquisition Amounts or any other interest of such Financial Institution hereunder. Notwithstanding any such sale by a Financial Institution of a participating interest to a Participant, such Financial Institution’s rights and obligations under this Agreement will remain unchanged, such Financial Institution will remain solely responsible

for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and Seller, Falcon, the Administrative Agent and the Falcon Agent and Fifth Third will continue to deal solely and directly with such Financial Institution in connection with such Financial Institution’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Each Financial Institution in the Falcon Group agrees that any agreement between such Financial Institution and any such Participant in respect of such participating interest will not restrict such Financial Institution’s right to agree to any amendment, supplement, waiver or modification to this Agreement, except for any amendment, supplement, waiver or modification described in Section 14.l(b)(i).

(b) Fifth Third may, in the ordinary course of its business at any time sell to one or more Participants, including without limitation Fountain Square, participating interests in its Purchaser Interests or any other interest of Fifth Third hereunder.

Fifth Third agrees that any agreement between Fifth Third and any such Participant in respect of such participating interest will not restrict Fifth Third’s right to agree to any amendment, supplement, waiver or modification to this Agreement, except for any amendment, supplement, waiver or modification described in Section 14.l(b)(i).

ARTICLE XIII.

FALCON LIQUIDITY FACILITY

Section 13.1 Transfer to Financial Institutions. Each Financial Institution in the Falcon Group hereby agrees, subject to Section 13.4, that immediately upon written notice from Falcon delivered on or prior to the Liquidity Termination Date, it will acquire by assignment from Falcon, without recourse or warranty, its Pro Rata Share of one or more of the Purchaser Interests of Falcon as specified by Falcon. Each such assignment by Falcon will be made pro rata among all of the Financial Institutions except for pro rata assignments to one or more Terminating Financial Institutions pursuant to Section 13.6. Each such Financial Institution will, no later than 1:00 p.m. (Chicago time) on the date of such assignment, pay in immediately available funds (unless payment is otherwise agreed between Falcon and any Financial Institution) to the Falcon Agent at an account designated by the Falcon Agent, for the benefit of Falcon, its Acquisition Amount. Unless a Financial Institution has notified the Falcon Agent that it does not intend to pay its Acquisition Amount, the Falcon Agent may assume that such payment has been made and may, but will not be obligated to, make the amount of such payment available to Falcon in reliance upon such assumption. Falcon hereby sells and assigns to the Falcon Agent for the ratable benefit of the Financial Institutions in the Falcon Group, and the Falcon Agent hereby purchases and assumes from Falcon, effective upon the receipt by Falcon of the Falcon Transfer Price, the Purchaser Interests of Falcon which are the subject of any transfer pursuant to this Article XIII.

Section 13.2 Transfer Price Reduction Yield. If the Adjusted Liquidity Price is included in the calculation of the Falcon Transfer Price for any Purchaser Interest, each Financial

Institution in the Falcon Group agrees that the Falcon Agent will pay to Falcon the Reduction Percentage of any Yield received by the Falcon Agent with respect to such Purchaser Interest.

Section 13.3 Payments to Falcon. In consideration for the reduction of the Falcon Transfer Prices by the Falcon Transfer Price Reductions, effective only at such time as the aggregate amount of the Capital of the Purchaser Interests of the Financial Institutions in the Falcon Group equals the Falcon Residual, each Financial Institution in the Falcon Group hereby agrees that the Falcon Agent will not distribute to the Financial Institutions in the Falcon Group and will immediately remit to Falcon any Yield, Collections or other payments received by it to be applied pursuant to the terms hereof or otherwise to reduce the Capital of the Purchaser Interests of the Financial Institutions in the Falcon Group.

Section 13.4 Limitation on Commitment to Purchase from Falcon. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Financial Institution in the Falcon Group will have any obligation to purchase any Purchaser Interest from Falcon, pursuant to Section 13.1 or otherwise, if:

(i) Falcon will have voluntarily commenced any proceeding or filed any petition under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law seeking the dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of Falcon or taken any corporate action for the purpose of effectuating any of the foregoing; or

(ii) involuntary proceedings or an involuntary petition will have been commenced or filed against Falcon by any Person under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law seeking the dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of Falcon and such proceeding or petition will have not been dismissed.

Section 13.5 Defaulting Financial Institutions. If one or more Financial Institutions defaults in its obligation to pay its Acquisition Amount pursuant to Section 13.1 (each such Financial Institution will be called a “Defaulting Financial Institution” and the aggregate amount of such defaulted obligations being herein called the “Falcon Transfer Price Deficit”), then upon notice from the Falcon Agent, each Financial Institution other than the Defaulting Financial Institutions (a “Non-Defaulting Financial Institution”) will promptly pay to the Falcon Agent, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to the lesser of (x) such Non-Defaulting Financial Institution’s proportionate share (based upon the relative Liquidity Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Financial Institutions) of the Falcon Transfer Price Deficit and (y) the unused portion of such Non-Defaulting Financial Institution’s Liquidity Commitment. A Defaulting Financial Institution will forthwith upon demand pay to the Falcon Agent for the account of the Non-Defaulting Financial Institutions all amounts paid by each Non-Defaulting Financial Institution on behalf of such Defaulting Financial Institution, together with interest thereon, for each day from the date a payment was made by a Non-Defaulting Financial Institution until the date such Non-Defaulting Financial Institution has been paid such amounts in full, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus two percent (2%). In addition, without prejudice to any other rights that Falcon may have under applicable law, each Defaulting Financial Institution will pay to Falcon forthwith upon demand, the difference between such Defaulting Financial Institution’s unpaid Acquisition Amount and the

amount paid with respect thereto by the Non-Defaulting Financial Institutions, together with interest thereon, for each day from the date of the Falcon Agent’s request for such Defaulting Financial Institution’s Acquisition Amount pursuant to Section 13.1 until the date the requisite amount is paid to Falcon in full, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus two percent (2%).

Section 13.6 Terminating Financial Institutions. (a) Each Financial Institution hereby agrees to deliver written notice to the Falcon Agent not more than 30 Business Days and not less than 5 Business Days prior to the Liquidity Termination Date indicating whether such Financial Institution intends to renew its Liquidity Commitment hereunder. If any Financial Institution fails to deliver such notice on or prior to the date that is 5 Business Days prior to the Liquidity Termination Date, such Financial Institution will be deemed to have declined to renew its Liquidity Commitment (each Financial Institution which has declined or has been deemed to have declined to renew its Liquidity Commitment hereunder, a “Non-Renewing Financial Institution”). The Falcon Agent shall promptly notify Falcon of each Non-Renewing Financial Institution and Falcon, in its sole discretion, may (A) to the extent of Commitment Availability, declare that such Non-Renewing Financial Institution’s Liquidity Commitment shall, to such extent, automatically terminate on a date specified by Falcon on or before the Liquidity Termination Date or (B) upon one (1) Business Days’ notice to such Non-Renewing Financial Institution assign to such Non-Renewing Financial Institution on a date specified by Falcon its Pro Rata Share of the aggregate Purchaser Interests then held by Falcon, subject to, and in accordance with, Section 13.1. In addition, Falcon may, in its sole discretion, at any time (x) to the extent of Commitment Availability, declare that any Affected Financial Institution’s Liquidity Commitment shall automatically terminate on a date specified by Falcon or (y) assign to any Affected Financial Institution on a date specified by Falcon its Pro Rata Share of the aggregate Purchaser Interests then held by Falcon, subject to, and in accordance with, Section 13.1 (each Affected Financial Institution or each Non-Renewing Financial Institution is hereinafter referred to as a “Terminating Financial Institution”). The parties hereto expressly acknowledge that any declaration of the termination of any Liquidity Commitment, any assignment pursuant to this Section 13.6 and the order of priority of any such termination or assignment among Terminating Financial Institutions shall be made by Falcon in its sole and absolute discretion.

(b) Upon any assignment to a Terminating Financial Institution as provided in this Section 13.6, any remaining Liquidity Commitment of such Terminating Financial Institution shall automatically terminate. Upon reduction to zero of the Capital of all of the Purchaser Interests of a Terminating Financial Institution (after application of Collections thereto pursuant to Sections 2.2 and 2.3) all rights and obligations of such Terminating Financial Institution hereunder shall be terminated and such Terminating Financial Institution shall no longer be a “Financial Institution” hereunder; provided, however, that the provisions of Article X shall continue in effect for its benefit with respect to Purchaser Interests held by such Terminating Financial Institution prior to its termination as a Financial Institution.

ARTICLE XIV.

MISCELLANEOUS

(a) No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Falcon Agent and Fifth Third or any Purchaser in exercising any power, right or remedy under this Agreement will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or remedy preclude any other further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power, right or remedy.

Seller hereby authorizes the Falcon Agent and Fifth Third to effect purchases and Tranche Period and Discount Rate selections based on telephonic notices made by any Person whom the Falcon Agent or Fifth Third, as the case may be, in good faith believes to be acting on behalf of Seller. Seller agrees to deliver promptly to the Falcon Agent and Fifth Third a written confirmation of each telephonic notice given to such Person, signed by an Authorized Officer of Seller; provided, however, the absence of such confirmation will not affect the validity of such notice. If the written confirmation differs from the action taken by the Falcon Agent or Fifth Third, as the case may be, the records of the Falcon Agent or Fifth Third, as applicable, will govern absent manifest error.

Section 14.3 Ratable Payments. If any Purchaser, whether by setoff or otherwise, has payment made to it with respect to any portion of the Aggregate Unpaids owing to such Purchaser (other than payments received pursuant to Section 10.2 or 10.3) in a greater proportion than that received by any other Purchaser entitled to receive a ratable share of such Aggregate Unpaids, such Purchaser agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase for cash without recourse or warranty a portion of such Aggregate Unpaids held by the other Purchasers so that after such purchase each Purchaser will hold its ratable proportion of such Aggregate Unpaids; provided that if all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from such Purchaser, such purchase will be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

Section 14.4 Protection of Ownership Interests of the Purchasers.

(a) Seller agrees that from time to time, at its expense, it will promptly execute and deliver all instruments and documents, and take all actions, that may be necessary or desirable, or that any Agent or Fifth Third may request, to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the Purchaser Interests, or to enable the Agents or the Purchasers to exercise and enforce their

rights and remedies hereunder. At any time after the occurrence of an Amortization Event and during the continuance thereof, the Administrative Agent may, or the Administrative Agent may direct Seller or the Servicer to, notify the Obligors of Receivables, at Seller’s expense, of the ownership or security interests of the Agents and the Purchasers under this Agreement and may also direct that payments of all amounts due or that become due under any or all Receivables be made directly to the Administrative Agent or its designee(s). Seller or the Servicer (as applicable) will, at any Purchaser’s request, withhold the identity of such Purchaser in any such notification.

(b) If any Seller Party fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder, any Agent or Purchaser may (but will not be required to) perform, or cause performance of, such obligation, and such Agent’s or such Purchaser’s costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith will be payable by Seller as provided in Section 10.3. Each Seller Party irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent at any time and from time to time in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, and appoints the Administrative Agent as its attorney-in-fact, to act on behalf of such Seller Party (i) to execute on behalf of Seller as debtor (if legally required) and to file financing statements necessary or desirable in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the interest of the Purchasers in the Receivables and (ii) to file a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement with respect to the Receivables as a financing statement in such offices as the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion deems necessary or desirable to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the interests of the Purchasers in the Receivables. This appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

Section 14.5 Confidentiality.

(a) Each Seller Party, Agent and Purchaser will maintain and will cause each of its employees and officers to maintain the confidentiality of this Agreement and the other confidential proprietary information with respect to each of the Agents and Purchasers and Falcon and their respective businesses obtained by it or them in connection with the structuring, negotiating and execution of the transactions contemplated herein, except that such Seller Party, Agent and/or Purchaser and its officers and employees may disclose such information to such Seller Party’s, such Agent’s and such Purchaser’s external accountants and attorneys and as required by any applicable law or order of any judicial or administrative proceeding.

(b) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Seller Party hereby consents to the disclosure of any nonpublic information with respect to it (i) to the Agents and the Purchasers by each other, (ii) by the Agents or the Purchasers to any prospective or actual assignee or participant of any to them, and (iii) by the Agents or Fifth Third to any rating agency, Commercial Paper dealer or provider of a surety, guaranty or credit or liquidity enhancement to Falcon, Fifth Third or Fountain Square or any entity organized for the purpose of purchasing, or making loans secured by, financial assets for which Bank One, NA or Fifth Third or any of their respective affiliates acts as the Falcon Agent and Fifth Third or administrator and to any officers, directors, employees, outside accountants and attorneys of any of the foregoing. In addition, the Purchasers and the Agents may disclose any such nonpublic information pursuant to any law,

rule, regulation, direction, request or order of any judicial, administrative or regulatory authority or proceedings (whether or not having the force or effect of law).

(c) Notwithstanding any other express or implied agreement to the contrary, the parties hereto agree that each of them and each of their employees, representatives, and other agents may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transaction and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to any of them relating to such tax treatment and tax structure, except where confidentiality is reasonably necessary to comply with U.S. federal or state securities laws. For purposes of this paragraph, the terms “tax treatment” and “tax structure” have the meanings specified in Treasury Regulation section 1.6011-4(c).

Section 14.6 Bankruptcy Petition. Seller, the Servicer, Fifth Third, the Agents and each Financial Institution in the Falcon Group hereby covenants and agrees that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding senior indebtedness of Falcon, it will not institute against, or join any other Person instituting against, Falcon any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or other similar proceeding under the laws of the United States or any state of the United States.

NOTHING HEREIN SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT OF ANY AGENT OR ANY PURCHASER TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST ANY SELLER

PARTY IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING BY ANY SELLER PARTY AGAINST ANY AGENT OR ANY PURCHASER OR ANY AFFILIATE OF ANY AGENT OR ANY PURCHASER INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENT EXECUTED BY SUCH SELLER PARTY PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE BROUGHT ONLY IN A COURT IN CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, OR CINCINNATI, OHIO.

Section 14.10 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER (WHETHER SOUNDING IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH THIS AGREEMENT, ANY DOCUMENT EXECUTED BY ANY SELLER PARTY PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER.

Section 14.11 Integration; Binding Effect; Survival of Terms.

(a) This Agreement and each other Transaction Document contain the final and complete integration of all prior expressions by the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and will constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof superseding all prior oral or written understandings.

(b) This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns (including any trustee in bankruptcy). This Agreement will create and constitute the continuing obligations of the parties hereto in accordance with its terms and will remain in full force and effect until terminated in accordance with its terms; provided, however, that the rights and remedies with respect to (i) any breach of any representation and warranty made by any Seller Party pursuant to Article V, (ii) the indemnification and payment provisions of Article X, and Sections 14.5 and 14.6 will be continuing and will survive any termination of this Agreement.

Section 14.12 Counterparts; Severability; Section References. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed will be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken together will constitute one and the same Agreement. Any provisions of this Agreement which are prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction will, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction will not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Unless otherwise expressly indicated, all references herein to “Article,” “Section,” “Schedule” or “Exhibit” will mean articles and sections of, and schedules and exhibits to, this Agreement.

Section 14.13 Bank One, NA Roles. Each of the Financial Institutions in the Falcon Group acknowledges that Bank One, NA acts, or may in the future act, (i) as Administrative Agent for the other Agent and the Purchasers and as Falcon Agent for Falcon or

any Financial Institution, (ii) as issuing and paying agent for the Commercial Paper, (iii) to provide credit or liquidity enhancement for the timely payment for the Commercial Paper and (iv) to provide other services from time to time for Falcon or any Financial Institution (collectively, the “Bank One, NA Roles”). Without limiting the generality of this Section 14.13, each Financial Institution hereby acknowledges and consents to any and all Bank One Roles and agrees that in connection with any Bank One, NA Role, Bank One, NA may take, or refrain from taking, any action that it, in its discretion, deems appropriate, including, without limitation, in its role as Falcon Agent for Falcon, and the giving of notice to the Falcon Agent of a mandatory purchase pursuant to Section 13.1.

Section 14.14 Characterization.

(a) It is the intention of the parties hereto that each purchase hereunder will constitute and be treated for financial accounting purposes as an absolute and irrevocable sale, which purchase will provide the applicable Purchaser with the full benefits of ownership of the applicable Purchaser Interest. Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, each sale of a Purchaser Interest hereunder is made without recourse to Seller; provided, however, that (i) Seller will be liable to each Purchaser and Agent for all representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities made by Seller pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and (ii) such sale does not constitute and is not intended to result in an assumption by any Purchaser or Agent or any assignee thereof of any obligation of Seller, Convergys or either of the Originators or any other Person arising in connection with the Receivables, the Related Security, or the related Contracts, or any other obligations of Seller, Convergys or such Originator.

(b) If the conveyance by Seller to the Administrative Agent of interests in Receivables hereunder will be characterized as a secured loan and not a sale, it is the intention of the parties hereto that this Agreement will constitute a security agreement under applicable law. In furtherance of the foregoing, Seller hereby grants to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Falcon Agent and the Purchasers a valid and perfected security interest in all of Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under all Receivables, the Collections, each Lock-Box and Collection Account, all Related Security, all other rights and payments relating to any and all Receivables, and all proceeds of any thereof prior to all other liens on and security interests therein to secure the prompt and complete payment of the Aggregate Unpaids. After an Amortization Event, the Agents and the Purchasers will have, in addition to the rights and remedies that they may have under this Agreement, all other rights and remedies provided to a secured creditor after default under the UCC and other applicable law, which rights and remedies will be cumulative.
