ARTICLE I

AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF THE PURCHASES

     Section 1.1 Purchase Facility.

     (a) On the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, the Seller may, from time to time before the Facility Termination Date, (i) ratably (based on the aggregate Commitments of the Related Committed Purchasers in their respective Purchaser Groups) request that the Conduit Purchasers, or, only if a Conduit Purchaser denies such request or is unable to fund (and provides notice of such denial or inability to the Seller, the Administrator and its Purchaser Agent), ratably request that the Related Committed Purchasers, make purchases of and reinvestments in undivided percentage ownership interests with regard to the Purchased Interest from the Seller from time to time from the date hereof to the Facility Termination Date and (ii) request that the LC Bank issue or cause the issuance of Letters of Credit, in each case subject to the terms hereof (each such purchase, reinvestment or issuance is referred to herein as a “Purchase”). Subject to Section 1.4(b), concerning reinvestments, at no time will a Conduit Purchaser have any obligation to make a purchase. Each Related Committed Purchaser severally hereby agrees, on the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, to make purchases of and reinvestments in undivided percentage ownership interests with regard to the Purchased Interest from the Seller from time to time from the date hereof to the Facility Termination Date, based on the applicable Purchaser Group’s Ratable Share of each purchase requested pursuant to Section 1.2(a) (and, in the case of each Related Committed Purchaser, its Commitment Percentage of its Purchaser Group’s Ratable Share of such Purchase) and, on the terms of and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the LC Bank agrees to issue Letters of Credit in return for (and each LC Participant hereby severally agrees to make participation advances in connection with any draws under such Letters of Credit equal to such LC Participant’s Pro Rata Share of such draws), undivided percentage ownership interests with regard to the Purchased Interest from the Seller from time to time from the date hereof to the Facility Termination Date; provided, however, that under no circumstances shall any Purchaser make any purchase or reinvestment (including, without limitation, any mandatory deemed Purchases pursuant to Section 1.1(b)) or issue any Letters of Credit hereunder, as applicable, if, after giving effect to such Purchase, the (i) aggregate outstanding amount of the Capital funded by such Purchaser, when added to all other Capital funded by all other Purchasers in such Purchaser’s Purchaser Group would exceed (A) its Purchaser Group’s Group Commitment (as the same may be reduced from time to time pursuant to Section 1.1(c)) minus (B) the related LC Participant’s Pro Rata Share of the face amount of any outstanding Letters of Credit or (ii) the aggregate outstanding Capital plus the LC Participation Amount would exceed the Purchase Limit.

          The Seller may, subject to the requirements and conditions herein, use the proceeds of any purchase by the Purchasers, hereunder, to satisfy its Reimbursement Obligation to the LC Bank and the LC Participants (ratably, based on the outstanding amounts funded by the LC Bank and each such LC Participant) pursuant to Section 1.15 below.

     (b) In addition, in the event the Seller fails to reimburse the LC Bank for the full amount of any drawing under any Letter of Credit on the applicable Drawing Date (out of its own funds available therefor) pursuant to Section 1.15, then the Seller shall, automatically (and

without the requirement of any further action on the part of any Person hereunder), be deemed to have requested a new purchase from the Conduit Purchasers or Related Committed Purchasers, as applicable, on such date, on the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, in an amount equal to the amount of such Reimbursement Obligation at such time. Subject to the limitations on funding set forth in the remainder of this paragraph (a), below (and the other requirements and conditions herein), the Conduit Purchasers or Related Committed Purchasers, as applicable, shall fund such deemed purchase request and deliver the proceeds thereof directly to the Administrator to be immediately distributed (ratably) to the LC Bank and the applicable LC Participants in satisfaction of the Seller’s Reimbursement Obligation pursuant to Section 1.15, below, to the extent of the amounts permitted to be funded by the Conduit Purchasers or Related Committed Purchasers, as applicable, at such time, hereunder.

     (c) The Seller may, upon 60 days’ written notice to the Administrator and each Purchaser Agent, reduce the unfunded portion of the Purchase Limit in whole or in part (but not below the amount which would cause the Group Capital of any Purchaser Group to exceed its Group Commitment (after giving effect to such reduction)); provided that each partial reduction shall be in the amount of at least $5,000,000, or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and the Purchase Limit shall in no event be reduced below $20,000,000. Each reduction in the Commitments hereunder shall be made ratably among the Purchasers in accordance with their respective pro rata shares. The Administrator shall promptly advise the Purchaser Agents of any notice received by it pursuant to this Section 1.1(c); it being understood that (in addition to and without limiting any other requirements for termination, prepayment and/or the funding of the LC Collateral Account hereunder) no such termination or reduction shall be effective unless and until (i) in the case of a termination, the amount on deposit in the LC Collateral Account is at least equal to the then outstanding LC Participation Amount and (ii) in the case of a partial reduction, the amount on deposit in the LC Collateral Account is at least equal to the positive difference between the then outstanding LC Participation Amount and the Purchase Limit as so reduced by such partial reduction.

     Section 1.2 Making Purchases. (a) Each Funded Purchase (but not reinvestment) of undivided percentage ownership interests with regard to the Purchased Interest hereunder may be made on any day upon the Seller’s irrevocable written notice in the form of Annex B (each, a “Purchase Notice”) delivered to the Administrator and each Purchaser Agent in accordance with Section 6.2 (which notice must be received by the Administrator and each Purchaser Agent before 2:00 p.m., New York City Time) at least two Business Days before the requested Purchase Date, which notice shall specify: (A) in the case of a Funded Purchase (other than one made pursuant to Section 1.15(b)), the amount requested to be paid to the Seller (such amount, which shall not be less than $300,000 (or such lesser amount as agreed to by the Administrator and the Majority Purchaser Agents) and shall be in integral multiples of $100,000, with respect to each Purchaser Group, (B) the date of such Funded Purchase (which shall be a Business Day) and (C) the pro forma calculation of the Purchased Interest after giving effect to the increase in the Aggregate Capital.

     (b) On the date of each Funded Purchase (but not reinvestment, issuance of a Letter of Credit or a Funded Purchase pursuant to Section 1.2(e)) of undivided percentage ownership interests with regard to the Purchased Interest hereunder, each applicable Conduit Purchaser or

Related Committed Purchaser, as the case may be, shall, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Exhibit II, make available to the Seller in same day funds, at PNC Bank, National Association, account number ###-###-#### (or such other account as may be so designated in writing by the Seller to the Administrator and each Purchaser Agent) an amount equal to the portion of Capital relating to the undivided percentage ownership interest then being funded by such Purchaser.

     (c) Effective on the date of each Funded Purchase or other Purchase pursuant to this Section 1.2 and each reinvestment pursuant to Section 1.4, the Seller hereby sells and assigns to the Administrator for the benefit of the Purchasers (ratably, based on the sum of Capital plus the LC Participation Amount outstanding at such time for each such Purchaser’s Capital) an undivided percentage ownership interest in: (i) each Pool Receivable then existing, (ii) all Related Security with respect to such Pool Receivables, and (iii) all Collections with respect to, and other proceeds of, such Pool Receivables and Related Security.

     (d) To secure all of the Seller’s obligations (monetary or otherwise) under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, whether now or hereafter existing or arising, due or to become due, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, the Seller hereby grants to the Administrator, for the benefit of the Purchasers, a security interest in all of the Seller’s right, title and interest (including any undivided interest of the Seller) in, to and under all of the following, whether now or hereafter owned, existing or arising: (i) all Pool Receivables, (ii) all Related Security with respect to such Pool Receivables, (iii) all Collections with respect to such Pool Receivables, (iv) the Lock-Box Accounts and all amounts on deposit therein, and all certificates and instruments, if any, from time to time evidencing such Lock-Box Accounts and amounts on deposit therein, (v) all rights (but none of the obligations) of the Seller under the Sale Agreement, (vi) all proceeds of, and all amounts received or receivable under any or all of, the foregoing and (vii) all of its other property (collectively, the “Pool Assets”). The Seller hereby authorizes the Administrator to file financing statements describing as the collateral covered thereby as “all of the debtor’s personal property or assets” or words to that effect, notwithstanding that such wording may be broader in scope than the collateral described in this Agreement. The Administrator, for the benefit of the Purchasers, shall have, with respect to the Pool Assets, and in addition to all the other rights and remedies available to the Administrator and the Purchasers, all the rights and remedies of a secured party under any applicable UCC.

     (e) Whenever the LC Bank issues a Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 1.12 hereof, each LC Participant shall, automatically and without further action of any kind upon the effective date of issuance of such Letter of Credit, have irrevocably been deemed to make a Funded Purchase hereunder in the event that such Letter of Credit is subsequently drawn and such drawn amount shall not have been reimbursed pursuant to Section 1.15 upon such draw in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of such unreimbursed draw. If the LC Bank pays a drawing under a Letter of Credit that is not reimbursed by the Seller on the applicable Drawing Date, the LC Bank shall be deemed to have made a Funded Purchase in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of such unreimbursed drawing. All such Funded Purchases shall accrue Discount from the date of such draw. In the event that any Letter of Credit expires or is surrendered without being drawn (in whole or in part) then, in such event, the foregoing commitment to make Funded

Purchases shall expire with respect to such Letter of Credit and the LC Participation Amount shall automatically reduce by the amount of the Letter of Credit which is no longer outstanding.

     (f) The Seller may, with the written consent of the Administrator and each Purchaser Agent (and, in the case of a new related LC Participant, the LC Bank), add additional Persons as Purchasers (either to an existing Purchaser Group or by creating new Purchaser Groups) or cause an existing Related Committed Purchaser or related LC Participant to increase its Commitment in connection with a corresponding increase in the Purchase Limit; provided, however, that the Commitment of any Related Committed Purchaser or related LC Participant may only be increased with the prior written consent of such Purchaser. Each new Conduit Purchaser, Related Committed Purchaser or related LC Participant (or Purchaser Group) shall become a party hereto, by executing and delivering to the Administrator and the Seller, an Assumption Agreement in the form of Annex C hereto (which Assumption Agreement shall, in the case of any new Conduit Purchaser, Related Committed Purchaser or related LC Participant, be executed by each Person in such new Purchaser’s Purchaser Group).

     (g) Each Related Committed Purchaser’s and related LC Participant’s obligations hereunder shall be several, such that the failure of any Related Committed Purchaser or related LC Participant to make a payment in connection with any purchase hereunder, or drawing under a Letter of Credit hereunder, as the case may be, shall not relieve any other Related Committed Purchaser or related LC Participant of its obligation hereunder to make payment for any Funded Purchase or such drawing. Further, in the event any Related Committed Purchaser or related LC Participant fails to satisfy its obligation to make a purchase or payment with respect to such drawing as required hereunder, upon receipt of notice of such failure from the Administrator (or any relevant Purchaser Agent), subject to the limitations set forth herein, the non-defaulting Related Committed Purchasers or related LC Participants in such defaulting Related Committed Purchaser’s or related LC Participant’s Purchaser Group shall fund the defaulting Related Committed Purchaser’s or related LC Participant’s Commitment Percentage of the related Purchase or drawing pro rata in proportion to their relative Commitment Percentages (determined without regard to the Commitment Percentage of the defaulting Related Committed Purchaser or related LC Participant; it being understood that a defaulting Related Committed Purchaser’s or related LC Participant’s Commitment Percentage of any Purchase or drawing shall be first put to the Related Committed Purchasers or related LC Participants in such defaulting Related Committed Purchaser’s or related LC Participant’s Purchaser Group and thereafter if there are no other Related Committed Purchasers or related LC Participants in such Purchaser Group or if such other Related Committed Purchasers or related LC Participants are also defaulting Related Committed Purchasers or related LC Participants, then such defaulting Related Committed Purchaser’s or related LC Participant’s Commitment Percentage of such Purchase or drawing shall be put to each other Purchaser Group ratably and applied in accordance with this paragraph (g)). Notwithstanding anything in this paragraph (g) to the contrary, no Related Committed Purchaser or related LC Participant shall be required to make a Purchase or payment with respect to such drawing pursuant to this paragraph for an amount which would cause the aggregate Capital of such Related Committed Purchaser or Pro Rata Share of the face amount of any outstanding Letter of Credit of such related LC Participant (after giving effect to such Purchase or payment with respect to such drawing) to exceed its Commitment.

     Section 1.3 Purchased Interest Computation. The Purchased Interest shall be initially computed on the Closing Date. Thereafter, until the Facility Termination Date, such Purchased Interest shall be automatically recomputed (or deemed to be recomputed) on each Business Day other than a Termination Day. From and after the occurrence of any Termination Day, the Purchased Interest shall (until the event(s) giving rise to such Termination Day are satisfied or are waived by the Administrator in accordance with Section 2.2) be deemed to be 100%. The Purchased Interest shall become zero when (a) the Aggregate Capital thereof and Aggregate Discount thereon shall have been paid in full, (b) an amount equal to 100% of the LC Participation Amount shall have been deposited in the LC Collateral Account, or all Letters of Credit shall have expired and (c) all the amounts owed by the Seller and the Servicer hereunder to each Purchaser, the Administrator and any other Indemnified Party or Affected Person are paid in full, and the Servicer shall have received the accrued Servicing Fee thereon.

     Section 1.4 Settlement Procedures.

     (a) The collection of the Pool Receivables shall be administered by the Servicer in accordance with this Agreement. The Seller shall provide to the Servicer on a timely basis all information needed for such administration, including notice of the occurrence of any Termination Day and current computations of the Purchased Interest.

     (b) The Servicer shall, on each day on which Collections of Pool Receivables are received (or deemed received) by the Seller or the Servicer:

     (i) set aside and hold in trust (and shall, at the request of the Administrator, segregate in a separate account approved by the Administrator) for the benefit of each Purchaser Group, out of such Collections, first, an amount equal to the Aggregate Discount accrued through such day for each Portion of Capital and not previously set aside, second, an amount equal to the fees set forth in each Purchaser Group Fee Letter accrued and unpaid through such day, and third, to the extent funds are available therefor, an amount equal to the aggregate of each Purchasers’ Share of the Servicing Fee accrued through such day and not previously set aside,

     (ii) subject to Section 1.4(f), if such day is not a Termination Day, remit to the Seller, ratably, on behalf of each Purchaser Group, the remainder of such Collections. Such remainder shall, to the extent representing a return on the Aggregate Capital, ratably, according to each Purchaser’s Capital, be automatically reinvested in Pool Receivables, and in the Related Security, Collections and other proceeds with respect thereto; provided, however, that if the Purchased Interest would exceed 100%, then the Servicer shall not reinvest, but shall set aside and hold in trust for the benefit of the Purchasers (and shall, at the request of the Administrator, segregate in a separate account approved by the Administrator) a portion of such Collections that, together with the other Collections set aside pursuant to this paragraph, shall equal the amount necessary to reduce the Purchased Interest to 100%, which amount shall be deposited ratably to each Purchaser Agent’s account (for the benefit of its related Purchasers) on the next Settlement Date in accordance with Section 1.4(c); provided, further, that (x) in the case of any Purchaser that is a Conduit Purchaser, if such Purchaser has provided notice (a “Declining Notice”) to its Purchaser Agent, the Administrator, and the Servicer that such

Purchaser (a “Declining Conduit Purchaser”) no longer wishes Collections with respect to any Portion of Capital funded or maintained by such Purchaser to be reinvested pursuant to this clause (ii), and (y) in the case of any Purchaser that has provided notice (an “Exiting Notice”) to its Purchaser Agent of either its refusal, pursuant to Section 1.22, to extend its Commitment hereunder (an “Exiting Purchaser”) then in either case (x) or (y), above, such Collections shall not be reinvested and shall instead be held in trust for the benefit of such Purchaser and applied in accordance with clause (iii), below.

     (iii) if such day is a Termination Day (or any day following the provision of a Declining Notice or an Exiting Notice), set aside, segregate and hold in trust (and shall, at the request of the Administrator, segregate in a separate account approved by the Administrator) for the benefit of each Purchaser Group the entire remainder of such Collections (or in the case of a Declining Conduit Purchaser or an Exiting Purchaser an amount equal to such Purchaser’s ratable share of such Collections based on its Capital; provided, that solely for the purpose of determining such Purchaser’s ratable share of such Collections, such Purchaser’s Capital shall be deemed to remain constant from the date of the provision of a Declining Notice or an Exiting Notice, as the case may be, until the date such Purchaser’s Capital has been paid in full; it being understood that if such day is also a Termination Day, such Declining Conduit Purchaser’s or Exiting Purchaser’s Capital shall be recalculated taking into account amounts received by such Purchaser in respect of this parenthetical and thereafter Collections shall be set aside for such Purchaser ratably in respect of its Capital (as recalculated)); provided, that if amounts are set aside and held in trust on any Termination Day of the type described in clause (a) of the definition of “Termination Day” (or any day following the provision of a Declining Notice or an Exiting Notice) and, thereafter, the conditions set forth in Section 2 of Exhibit II are satisfied or waived by the Administrator and the Majority Purchaser Agents (or in the case of a Declining Notice or an Exiting Notice, such Declining Notice or Exiting Notice, as the case may be, has been revoked by the related Declining Conduit Purchaser or Exiting Purchaser, respectively and written notice thereof has been provided to the Administrator, the related Purchaser Agent and the Servicer), such previously set-aside amounts shall, to the extent representing a return on Aggregate Capital (or the Capital of the Declining Conduit Purchaser or Exiting Purchaser, as the case may be) and ratably in accordance with each Purchaser’s Capital, be reinvested in accordance with clause (ii) on the day of such subsequent satisfaction or waiver of conditions or revocation of Declining Notice or Exiting Notice, as the case may be, and

     (iv) release to the Seller (subject to Section 1.4(f)) for its own account any Collections in excess, if any, of: (x) amounts required to be reinvested in accordance with clause (ii) or the proviso to clause (iii) plus (y) the amounts that are required to be set aside pursuant to clause (i), the proviso to clause (ii) and clause (iii) plus (z) the Seller’s Share of the Servicing Fee accrued and unpaid through such day and all reasonable and appropriate out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Servicer for servicing, collecting and administering the Pool Receivables.

     (c) The Servicer shall, in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 1.4(d), below, deposit into each applicable Purchaser Agent’s account (or such other account designated by such applicable Purchaser or its Purchaser Agent), on each Settlement Date (for any Portion

of Investment), Collections held for each Purchaser with respect to such Purchaser’s Portion(s) of Capital pursuant to clause (b)(i) or (f), plus the amount of Collections then held for the related Purchasers pursuant to clauses (b)(ii) and (iii) of Section 1.4; provided, that if Cooper Tire or an Affiliate thereof is the Servicer, such day is not a Termination Day and the Administrator has not notified Cooper Tire (or such Affiliate) that such right is revoked, Cooper Tire (or such Affiliate) may retain the portion of the Collections set aside pursuant to clause (b)(i) that represents the aggregate of each Purchasers’ Share of the Servicing Fee.

     (d) The Servicer shall distribute the amounts described (and at the times set forth) in Section 1.4(c), as follows:

     (i) if such distribution occurs on a day that is not a Termination Day and the Purchased Interest does not exceed 100%, first to each Purchaser Agent ratably according to the Discount accrued during such Yield Period (for the benefit of the relevant Purchasers within such Purchaser Agent’s Purchaser Group) in payment in full of all accrued Discount and Fees (other than Servicing Fees) with respect to each Portion of Capital maintained by such Purchasers; it being understood that each Purchaser Agent shall distribute such amounts to the Purchasers within its Purchaser Group ratably according to Discount, and second, if the Servicer has set aside amounts in respect of the Servicing Fee pursuant to clause (b)(i) and has not retained such amounts pursuant to clause (c), to the Servicer’s own account (payable in arrears on each Settlement Date) in payment in full of the aggregate of the Purchasers’ Share of accrued Servicing Fees so set aside, and

     (ii) if such distribution occurs on a Termination Day or on a day when the Purchased Interest exceeds 100%, first if Cooper Tire or an Affiliate thereof is not the Servicer, to the Servicer’s own account in payment in full of the Purchasers’ Share of all accrued Servicing Fees, second to each Purchaser Agent ratably (based on the aggregate accrued and unpaid Discount and Fees (other than Servicing Fees) payable to all Purchasers at such time) (for the benefit of the relevant Purchasers within such Purchaser Agent’s Purchaser Group) in payment in full of all accrued Discount with respect to each Portion of Capital funded or maintained by the Purchasers within such Purchaser Agent’s Purchaser Group, third to each Purchaser Agent ratably according to the aggregate of the Capital of each Purchaser in each such Purchaser Agent’s Purchaser Group (for the benefit of the relevant Purchasers within such Purchaser Agent’s Purchaser Group) in payment in full of each Purchaser’s Capital (or, if such day is not a Termination Day, the amount necessary to reduce the Purchased Interest to 100%) (determined as if such Collections had been applied to reduce the Aggregate Capital); it being understood that each Purchaser Agent shall distribute the amounts described in the first and second clauses of this Section 1.4(d)(ii) to the Purchasers within its Purchaser Group ratably according to Discount and Capital, respectively, fourth, to the LC Collateral Account for the benefit of the LC Bank and the LC Participants, the amount necessary to cash collateralize the LC Participation Amount until the amount of cash collateral held in such LC Collateral Account equals 100% of the aggregate outstanding amount of the LC Participation Amount, fifth, if the Aggregate Capital and accrued Aggregate Discount with respect to each Portion of Capital for all Purchaser Groups have been reduced to zero, and the Purchasers’ Share of all accrued Servicing Fees payable to the Servicer (if

other than Cooper Tire or an Affiliate thereof) have been paid in full, to each Purchaser Group ratably, based on the amounts payable to each (for the benefit of the Purchasers within such Purchaser Group), the Administrator and any other Indemnified Party or Affected Person in payment in full of any other amounts owed thereto by the Seller or Servicer hereunder and, sixth, to the Servicer’s own account (if the Servicer is Cooper Tire or an Affiliate thereof) in payment in full of the aggregate of the Purchasers’ Share of all accrued Servicing Fees.

After the Aggregate Capital, Aggregate Discount, fees payable pursuant to each Purchaser Group Fee Letter and Servicing Fees with respect to the Purchased Interest, and any other amounts payable by the Seller and the Servicer to each Purchaser Group, the Administrator or any other Indemnified Party or Affected Person hereunder, have been paid in full, and (on and after a Termination Day) after an amount equal to 100% of the LC Participation Amount has been deposited in the LC Collateral Account, all additional Collections with respect to the Purchased Interest shall be paid to the Seller for its own account.

     (e) For the purposes of this Section 1.4:

     (i) if on any day the Outstanding Balance of any Pool Receivable is reduced or adjusted as a result of any defective, rejected, returned, repossessed or foreclosed goods or services, or any revision, cancellation, allowance, rebate, discount or other adjustment made by the Seller or any Affiliate of the Seller, or the Servicer or any Affiliate of the Servicer, or any setoff or dispute between the Seller or any Affiliate of the Seller, or the Servicer or any Affiliate of the Servicer and an Obligor, the Seller shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection of such Pool Receivable in the amount of such reduction or adjustment and shall immediately pay any and all such amounts in respect thereof to a Lock-Box Account for the benefit of the Purchasers and their assigns and for application pursuant to Section 1.4;

     (ii) if on any day any of the representations or warranties in Sections 1(j) or 3(a) of Exhibit III is not true with respect to any Pool Receivable, the Seller shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection of such Pool Receivable in full and shall immediately pay any and all such amounts to a Lock-Box Account (or as otherwise directed by the Administrator at such time) for the benefit of the Purchasers and their assigns and for application pursuant to this Section 1.4 (Collections deemed to have been received pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) of this paragraph (e) are hereinafter sometimes referred to as “Deemed Collections”);

     (iii) except as otherwise required by applicable law or the relevant Contract, all Collections received from an Obligor of any Receivable shall be applied to the Receivables of such Obligor in the order of the age of such Receivables, starting with the oldest such Receivable, unless such Obligor designates in writing its payment for application to specific Receivables; and

     (iv) if and to the extent the Administrator, any Purchaser Agent or any Purchaser shall be required for any reason to pay over to an Obligor (or any trustee, receiver, custodian or similar official in any Insolvency Proceeding) any amount received

by it hereunder, such amount shall be deemed not to have been so received by such Person but rather to have been retained by the Seller and, accordingly, such Person shall have a claim against the Seller for such amount, payable when and to the extent that any distribution from or on behalf of such Obligor is made in respect thereof.

     (f) If at any time the Seller shall wish to cause the reduction of Aggregate Capital (but not to commence the liquidation, or reduction to zero, of the entire Aggregate Capital) the Seller may do so as follows:

     (i) the Seller shall give the Administrator, each Purchaser Agent and the Servicer written notice in the form of Annex E (each, a “Paydown Notice”) (A) at least two Business Days prior to the date of such reduction for any reduction of the Aggregate Capital less than or equal to $25,000,000 (or such greater amount as agreed to by the Administrator and the Majority Purchaser Agents) and (B) at least five Business Days prior to the date of such reduction for any reduction of the Aggregate Capital greater than $25,000,000, and each such Paydown Notice shall include, among other things, the amount of such proposed reduction and the proposed date on which such reduction will commence;

     (ii) on the proposed date of commencement of such reduction and on each day thereafter, the Servicer shall cause Collections not to be reinvested until the amount thereof not so reinvested shall equal the desired amount of reduction; and

     (iii) the Servicer shall hold such Collections in trust for the benefit of each Purchaser ratably according to its Capital, for payment to each such Purchaser (or its related Purchaser Agent for the benefit of such Purchaser) on the next Settlement Date (or such other date as agreed to by the Administrator) with respect to any Portions of Capital maintained by such Purchaser immediately following the related current Yield Period, and the Aggregate Capital (together with the Capital of any related Purchaser) shall be deemed reduced in the amount to be paid to such Purchaser (or its related Purchaser Agent for the benefit of such Purchaser) only when in fact finally so paid;

provided, that:

     (A) the amount of any such reduction shall be not less than $100,000 for each Purchaser Group and shall be an integral multiple of $100,000, and the entire Aggregate Capital after giving effect to such reduction shall be not less than $20,000,000; and

     (B) with respect to any Portion of Capital, the Seller shall choose a reduction amount, and the date of commencement thereof, so that to the extent practicable such reduction shall commence and conclude in the same Yield Period.

     Section 1.5 Fees. The Seller shall pay to each Purchaser Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers and Liquidity Providers in the related Purchaser Group in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 1.4(d) certain fees in the amounts and on the dates set forth in one or more fee letter agreements, dated the Closing Date (or dated the date any such Purchaser and member of its related Purchaser Group become a party hereto pursuant to an Assumption Agreement, a Transfer Supplement or otherwise), among the Servicer, the Seller, and the

applicable Purchaser Agent, respectively (as any such fee letter agreement may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, each, a “Purchaser Group Fee Letter”) and each of the Purchaser Group Fee Letters may be referred to collectively as, the “Fee Letters”).

     Section 1.6 Payments and Computations, Etc.

     (a) All amounts to be paid or deposited by the Seller or the Servicer hereunder shall be made without reduction for offset or counterclaim and shall be paid or deposited no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City Time) on the day when due in same day funds to the account for each Purchaser maintained by the applicable Purchaser Agent (or such other account as may be designated from time to time by such Purchaser Agent to the Seller and the Servicer). All amounts received after 2:00 p.m. (New York City Time) will be deemed to have been received on the next Business Day.

     (b) The Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, shall, to the extent permitted by law, pay interest on any amount not paid or deposited by the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, when due hereunder, at an interest rate equal to 2.0% per annum above the Base Rate, payable on demand.

     (c) All computations of interest under clause (b) and all computations of Discount, Fees and other amounts hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 (or 365 or 366, as applicable, with respect to Discount or other amounts calculated by reference to the Base Rate) days for the actual number of days elapsed. Whenever any payment or deposit to be made hereunder shall be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment or deposit shall be made on the next Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of such payment or deposit.

     Section 1.7 Increased Costs. (a) If, after the date hereof, the Administrator, any Purchaser, Purchaser Agent, Liquidity Provider or Program Support Provider or any of their respective Affiliates (each an “Affected Person”) determines that the existence of or compliance with: (i) any law, rule or regulation (including any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy) or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, or (ii) any request, guideline or directive from Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), or any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Affected Person, and such Affected Person determines that the amount of such capital is increased by or based upon the existence of any commitment to make purchases of (or otherwise to maintain the investment in) Pool Receivables or issue any Letter of Credit or any related liquidity facility, credit enhancement facility and other commitments of the same type, then, upon demand by such Affected Person (with a copy to the Administrator), the Seller shall promptly pay such Affected Person, from time to time as specified by such Affected Person, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Affected Person in the light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Affected Person determines such increase in capital to be allocable to the existence of any of such commitments. For the avoidance of doubt, if, after the date hereof, the issuance of FASB Interpretation No. 46, or any other change in accounting standards or the issuance of any other pronouncement, release or interpretation, causes or requires the consolidation of all or a portion

of the assets and liabilities of any Conduit Purchaser or the Seller with the assets and liabilities of such Affected Person, such event shall constitute a circumstance on which such Person may base a claim for reimbursement under this Section 1.7.

     (b) If, after the date hereof, due to either: (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation or (ii) compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), there shall be any increase in the cost to any Affected Person of agreeing to purchase or purchasing, or maintaining the ownership of, the Purchased Interest (or its portion thereof) in respect of which Discount is computed by reference to the Euro-Rate, then, upon demand by such Affected Person, the Seller shall promptly pay to such Affected Person, from time to time as specified by such Affected Person, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Affected Person for such increased costs.

     Section 1.8 Requirements of Law. If, after the date hereof, any Affected Person determines that the existence of or compliance with: (x) any law or regulation or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, or (y) any request, guideline or directive from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law):

     (a) does or shall subject such Affected Person to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any increase in the Purchased Interest (or its portion thereof) or in the amount of Capital relating thereto, or does or shall change the basis of taxation of payments to such Affected Person on account of Collections, Discount or any other amounts payable hereunder, or

     (b) does or shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, purchases, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Affected Person that are not otherwise included in the determination of the Euro-Rate hereunder,

and the result of any of the foregoing is: (A) to increase the cost to such Affected Person of agreeing to purchase or purchasing or maintaining the ownership of undivided percentage ownership interests with regard to, or issuing any Letter of Credit in respect of, the Purchased Interest (or interests therein) or any Portion of Capital, or (B) to reduce any amount receivable hereunder (whether directly or indirectly), then, in any such case, upon demand by such Affected Person, the Seller shall promptly pay to such Affected Person additional amounts necessary to compensate such Affected Person for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable. All such amounts shall be payable as incurred.

     Section 1.9 Funding Losses. The Seller shall compensate each Affected Person, upon written request by such Person for all losses, expenses and liabilities (including any interest paid by such Affected Person to lenders of funds borrowed by it to fund or maintain any Portion of Capital hereunder at an interest rate determined by reference to the Euro-Rate and any loss sustained by such Person in connection with the re-employment of such funds), which such Affected Person may sustain with respect to funding or maintaining such Portion of Capital at the Euro-Rate if, for any reason, at the applicable request by the Seller to fund or maintain such

Portion of Capital at an interest rate determined by reference to the Euro-Rate does not occur on a date specified therefor.

     Section 1.10 Taxes. The Seller agrees that:

     Any and all payments by the Seller under this Agreement and any other Transaction Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all current or future taxes, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto (all such taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If the Seller shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Purchaser, any Liquidity Provider, Program Support Provider or the Administrator, then the sum payable shall be increased by the amount necessary to yield to such Person (after payment of all Taxes) an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made.

     Whenever any Taxes are payable by the Seller, as promptly as possible thereafter, the Seller shall send to the Administrator for its own account or for the account of any Purchaser or any Liquidity Provider or other Program Support Provider, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt showing payment thereof or such other evidence of such payment as may be available to the Seller and acceptable to the taxing authorities having jurisdiction over such Person. If the Seller fails to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Administrator the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Seller shall indemnify the Administrator and/or any other Affected Person, as applicable, for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by such party as a result of any such failure.

     Section 1.11 Inability to Determine Euro-Rate. (a) If the Administrator (or any Purchaser Agent) determines before the first day of any Yield Period (which determination shall be final and conclusive) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank eurodollar market generally (i) deposits in dollars (in the relevant amounts for such Yield Period) are not being offered to banks in the interbank eurodollar market for such Yield Period, (ii) adequate means do not exist for ascertaining the Euro-Rate for such Yield Period or (iii) the Euro-Rate does not accurately reflect the cost to any Purchaser (as determined by the related Purchaser or the applicable Purchaser Agent) of maintaining any Portion of Capital during such Yield Period, then the Administrator shall give notice thereof to the Seller. Thereafter, until the Administrator or such Purchaser Agent notifies the Seller that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, (a) no Portion of Capital shall be funded at the Yield Rate determined by reference to the Euro-Rate and (b) the Discount for any outstanding Portions of Capital then funded at the Yield Rate determined by reference to the Euro-Rate shall, on the last day of the then current Yield Period, be converted to the Yield Rate determined by reference to the Base Rate.

     (b) If, on or before the first day of any Yield Period, the Administrator shall have been notified by any Affected Person that such Affected Person has determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive) that any enactment, promulgation or adoption of or

any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by a governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by such Affected Person with any guideline, request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall make it unlawful or impossible for such Affected Person to fund or maintain any Portion of Capital at the Yield Rate and based upon the Euro-Rate, the Administrator shall notify the Seller thereof. Upon receipt of such notice, until the Administrator notifies the Seller that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer apply, (a) no Portion of Capital shall be funded at the Yield Rate determined by reference to the Euro-Rate and (b) the Discount for any outstanding Portions of Capital then funded at the Yield Rate determined by reference to the Euro-Rate shall be converted to the Yield Rate determined by reference to the Base Rate either (i) on the last day of the then current Yield Period if such Affected Person may lawfully continue to maintain such Portion of Capital at the Yield Rate determined by reference to the Euro-Rate to such day, or (ii) immediately, if such Affected Person may not lawfully continue to maintain such Portion of Capital at the Yield Rate determined by reference to the Euro-Rate to such day.

     Section 1.12 Letters of Credit.

     On the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, the LC Bank shall issue or cause the issuance of Letters of Credit on behalf of Seller (and, if applicable, on behalf of, or for the account of, any Originator in favor of such beneficiaries as such Originator may elect); provided, however, that the LC Bank will not be required to issue or cause to be issued any Letters of Credit to the extent that after giving effect thereto the issuance of such Letters of Credit would then cause (a) the sum of (i) the Aggregate Capital plus (ii) the LC Participation Amount to exceed the Purchase Limit or (b) the LC Participation Amount to exceed the aggregate of the Commitments of the LC Bank and the LC Participants. All amounts drawn upon Letters of Credit shall accrue Discount. Letters of Credit that have not been drawn upon shall not accrue Discount.

     Section 1.13 Issuance of Letters of Credit.

     (a) The Seller may request the LC Bank, upon two (2) Business Days’ prior written notice submitted on or before 11:00 a.m., Pennsylvania time, to issue a Letter of Credit by delivering to the Administrator, the LC Bank’s form of Letter of Credit Application (the “Letter of Credit Application”), substantially in the form of Annex F attached hereto completed to the satisfaction of the Administrator and the LC Bank; and, such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as the Administrator may reasonably request. The Seller also has the right to give instructions and make agreements with respect to any Letter of Credit Application and the disposition of documents, and to agree with the Administrator upon any amendment, extension or renewal of any Letter of Credit.

     (b) Each Letter of Credit shall, among other things, (i) provide for the payment of sight drafts or other written demands for payment when presented for honor thereunder in accordance with the terms thereof and when accompanied by the documents described therein, (ii) have an expiry date not later than twelve (12) months after such Letter of Credit’s date of issuance and (iii) provide that amounts drawn with respect to such Letter of Credit may not be redrawn. Each Letter of Credit shall be subject either to the Uniform Customs and Practice for

Documentary Credits (1993 Revision), International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 500 or International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 600, based on which publication is in effect at the time that such Letter of Credit is issued, and any amendments or revisions thereof adhered to by the LC Bank (“UCP Rules”) or the International Standby Practices (ISP98-International Chamber of Commerce Publication Number 590), and any amendments or revisions thereof adhered to by the LC Bank (the “ISP98 Rules”), as determined by the LC Bank.

     (c) The Administrator shall promptly notify the LC Bank , at its address for notices hereunder, and each LC Participant of the request by the Seller for a Letter of Credit hereunder, and shall provide the LC Bank with the Letter of Credit Application delivered to the Administrator by the Seller pursuant to paragraph (a), above, by the close of business on the day received or if received on a day that is not a Business Day or on any Business Day after 11:00 a.m. Pennsylvania time on such day, on the next Business Day.

     Section 1.14 Requirements For Issuance of Letters of Credit.

     The Seller shall authorize and direct the LC Bank to name the Seller or any Originator as the “Applicant” or “Account Party” of each Letter of Credit.

     Section 1.15 Disbursements, Reimbursement.

     (a) Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each LC Participant shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the LC Bank a participation in such Letter of Credit and each drawing thereunder in an amount equal to such LC Participant’s Pro Rata Share of the face amount of such Letter of Credit and the amount of such drawing, respectively.

     (b) In the event of any request for a drawing under a Letter of Credit by the beneficiary or transferee thereof, the LC Bank will promptly notify the Administrator and the Seller of such request. Provided that it shall have received such notice, the Seller shall reimburse (such obligation to reimburse the LC Bank shall sometimes be referred to as a “Reimbursement Obligation”) the LC Bank prior to 12:00 p.m., Pennsylvania time on each date that an amount is paid by the LC Bank under any Letter of Credit (each such date, a “Drawing Date”) in an amount equal to the amount so paid by the LC Bank. In the event the Seller fails to reimburse the LC Bank for the full amount of any drawing under any Letter of Credit by 12:00 p.m., Pennsylvania time, on the Drawing Date, the LC Bank will promptly notify each LC Participant thereof, and the Seller shall be deemed to have requested that a Funded Purchase be made by the Purchasers in the Purchaser Group for the LC Bank and the LC Participants to be disbursed on the Drawing Date under such Letter of Credit in accordance with Section 1.1(b). Any notice given by the LC Bank pursuant to this Section may be oral if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

     (c) Each LC Participant shall upon any notice pursuant to subclause (b) above make available to the LC Bank an amount in immediately available funds equal to its Pro Rata Share of the amount of the drawing. If any LC Participant so notified fails to make available to the LC Bank the amount of such LC Participant’s Pro Rata Share of such amount by no later than 2:00 p.m., Pennsylvania time on the Drawing Date, then interest shall accrue on such LC Participant’s

obligation to make such payment, from the Drawing Date to the date on which such LC Participant makes such payment (i) at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate during the first three days following the Drawing Date and (ii) at a rate per annum equal to the rate applicable to Capital on and after the fourth day following the Drawing Date. The LC Bank will promptly give notice of the occurrence of the Drawing Date, but failure of the LC Bank to give any such notice on the Drawing Date or in sufficient time to enable any LC Participant to effect such payment on such date shall not relieve such LC Participant from its obligation under this subclause (c), provided that such LC Participant shall not be obligated to pay interest as provided in subclauses (i) and (ii) above until and commencing from the date of receipt of notice from the LC Bank or the Administrator of a drawing. Each LC Participant’s Commitment shall continue until the last to occur of any of the following events: (A) the LC Bank ceases to be obligated to issue or cause to be issued Letters of Credit hereunder; (B) no Letter of Credit issued hereunder remains outstanding and uncancelled or (C) all Persons (other than the Seller) have been fully reimbursed for all payments made under or relating to Letters of Credit.

     Section 1.16 Repayment of Participation Advances.

     (a) Upon (and only upon) receipt by the LC Bank for its account of immediately available funds from or for the account of the Seller in reimbursement of any payment made by the LC Bank under a Letter of Credit with respect to which any LC Participant has made a participation advance to the LC Bank, the LC Bank (or the Administrator on its behalf) will pay to each LC Participant, ratably (based on the outstanding drawn amounts funded by each such LC Participant in respect of such Letter of Credit), in the same funds as those received by the LC Bank; it being understood, that the LC Bank shall retain a ratable amount of such funds that were not the subject of any payment in respect of such Letter of Credit by any LC Participant.

     (b) If the LC Bank is required at any time to return to the Seller, or to a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian, or any official in any insolvency proceeding, any portion of the payments made by the Seller to the LC Bank pursuant to this Agreement in reimbursement of a payment made under the Letter of Credit or interest or fee thereon, each LC Participant shall, on demand of the LC Bank, forthwith return to the LC Bank the amount of its Pro Rata Share of any amounts so returned by the LC Bank plus interest at the Federal Funds Rate, from the date the payment was first made to such LC Participant through, but not including, the date the payment is returned by such LC Participant.

     Section 1.17 Documentation.

     Each of the Seller and LC Bank agrees to be bound by (i) the terms of the Letter of Credit Application, (ii) by the LC Bank’s interpretations of any Letter of Credit issued for the Seller, (iii) by the LC Bank’s written regulations and customary practices relating to letters of credit, though the LC Bank’s interpretation of such regulations and practices may be different from the Seller’s own and (iv) as applicable, UCP Rules and ISP98 Rules. In the event of a conflict between the Letter of Credit Application and this Agreement, this Agreement shall govern. It is understood and agreed that, except in the case of gross negligence or willful misconduct by the LC Bank, the LC Bank shall not be liable for any error, negligence and/or mistakes, whether of omission or commission, in following the Seller’s instructions or those contained in the Letters of Credit or any modifications, amendments or supplements thereto.

     Section 1.18 Determination to Honor Drawing Request.

     (a) In determining whether to honor any request for drawing under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, the LC Bank shall be responsible only to determine that the documents and certificates required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit have been delivered and that they comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit and that any other drawing condition appearing on the face of such Letter of Credit has been satisfied in the manner so set forth.

     Section 1.19 Nature of Participation and Reimbursement Obligations.

     Each LC Participant’s obligation in accordance with this Agreement to make participation advances as a result of a drawing under a Letter of Credit, and the obligations of the Seller to reimburse the LC Bank upon a draw under a Letter of Credit, shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Article I under all circumstances, including the following circumstances:

     (a) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such LC Participant may have against the LC Bank, the Administrator, the Purchasers, the Purchaser Agents, the Seller or any other Person for any reason whatsoever;

     (c) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which Seller or any Originator on behalf of which a Letter of Credit has been issued may have against the LC Bank, the Administrator, any Purchaser, or any other Person for any reason whatsoever;

     (d) any claim of breach of warranty that might be made by the Seller, the LC Bank or any LC Participant against the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit, or the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which the Seller, the LC Bank or any LC Participant may have at any time against a beneficiary, any successor beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit or the proceeds thereof (or any Persons for whom any such transferee may be acting), the LC Bank, any LC Participant, the Purchasers or Purchaser Agents or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transaction (including any underlying transaction between the Seller or any Subsidiaries of the Seller or any Affiliates of the Seller and the beneficiary for which any Letter of Credit was procured);

     (e) the lack of power or authority of any signer of, or lack of validity, sufficiency, accuracy, enforceability or genuineness of, any draft, demand, instrument, certificate or other document presented under any Letter of Credit, or any such draft, demand, instrument, certificate or other document proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid, defective or insufficient in any respect (other than any defect or insufficiency appearing on the face of such document) or any

statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, even if the Administrator or the LC Bank has been notified thereof;

     (f) payment by the LC Bank under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a demand, draft or certificate or other document which does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit other than as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the LC Bank;

     (g) the solvency of, or any acts or omissions by, any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit, or any other Person having a role in any transaction or obligation relating to a Letter of Credit, or the existence, nature, quality, quantity, condition, value or other characteristic of any property or services relating to a Letter of Credit;

     (h) any failure by the LC Bank or any of the LC Bank’s Affiliates to issue any Letter of Credit in the form requested by the Seller, unless the LC Bank has received written notice from the Seller of such failure within three Business Days after the LC Bank shall have furnished the Seller a copy of such Letter of Credit and such error is material and no drawing has been made thereon prior to receipt of such notice;

     (i) any Material Adverse Effect on the Seller, any Originator or any Affiliates thereof;

     (j) any breach of this Agreement or any Transaction Document by any party thereto;

     (k) the occurrence or continuance of an Insolvency Proceeding with respect to the Seller, any Originator or any Affiliate thereof;

     (l) the fact that a Termination Event or an Unmatured Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing;

     (m) the fact that this Agreement or the obligations of Seller or Servicer hereunder shall have been terminated; and

     (n) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

     Section 1.20 Indemnity.

     In addition to other amounts payable hereunder, the Seller hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and save harmless the Administrator, the LC Bank, each LC Participant and any of the LC Bank’s Affiliates that have issued a Letter of Credit from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, taxes, penalties, interest, judgments, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including Attorney Costs) which the Administrator, the LC Bank, any LC Participant or any of their respective Affiliates may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of the issuance of any Letter of Credit, other than as a result of (a) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party to be indemnified as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or (b) the wrongful dishonor by the LC Bank of a proper demand for payment made under any Letter of Credit, except if such dishonor resulted

from any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto Governmental Authority (all such acts or omissions herein called “Governmental Acts”).

     Section 1.21 Liability for Acts and Omissions.

     As between the Seller, on the one hand, and the Administrator, the LC Bank, the LC Participants, the Purchasers and the Purchaser Agents, on the other, the Seller assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of any Letter of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the respective foregoing, none of the Administrator, the LC Bank, the LC Participants, the Purchasers or the Purchaser Agents shall be responsible for: (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for an issuance of any such Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) the failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit, or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred, to comply fully with any conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit or any other claim of the Seller against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, or any such transferee, or any dispute between or among the Seller and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any such transferee; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Administrator, the LC Bank, the LC Participants, the Purchasers and the Purchaser Agents, including any Governmental Acts, and none of the above shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of, any of the LC Bank’s rights or powers hereunder. Nothing in the preceding sentence shall relieve the LC Bank from liability for its gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, in connection with actions or omissions described in such clauses (i) through (viii) of such sentence. In no event shall the Administrator, the LC Bank, the LC Participants, the Purchasers or the Purchaser Agents or their respective Affiliates, be liable to the Seller or any other Person for any indirect, consequential, incidental, punitive, exemplary or special damages or expenses (including without limitation Attorneys’ Costs), or for any damages resulting from any change in the value of any property relating to a Letter of Credit.

     Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrator, the LC Bank, the LC Participants, the Purchasers and the Purchaser Agents and each of its Affiliates (i) may rely on any written communication believed in good faith by such Person to have been authorized or given by or on behalf of the applicant for a Letter of Credit; (ii) may honor any presentation if the documents presented appear on their face to comply with the terms and conditions of the relevant Letter of Credit; (iii) may honor a previously dishonored presentation under a Letter of Credit, whether such dishonor was pursuant to a court order, to settle or compromise any claim of wrongful dishonor, or otherwise, and shall be entitled to reimbursement to the same extent as if such presentation had initially been honored, together with any interest paid by the LC Bank or

its Affiliates; (iv) may honor any drawing that is payable upon presentation of a statement advising negotiation or payment, upon receipt of such statement (even if such statement indicates that a draft or other document is being delivered separately), and shall not be liable for any failure of any such draft or other document to arrive, or to conform in any way with the relevant Letter of Credit; (v) may pay any paying or negotiating bank claiming that it rightfully honored under the laws or practices of the place where such bank is located; and (vi) may settle or adjust any claim or demand made on the Administrator, the LC Bank, the LC Participants, the Purchasers or the Purchaser Agents or their respective Affiliates, in any way related to any order issued at the applicant’s request to an air carrier, a letter of guarantee or of indemnity issued to a carrier or any similar document (each an “Order”) and may honor any drawing in connection with any Letter of Credit that is the subject of such Order, notwithstanding that any drafts or other documents presented in connection with such Letter of Credit fail to conform in any way with such Letter of Credit.

     In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions set forth above, any action taken or omitted by the LC Bank under or in connection with any Letter of Credit issued by it or any documents and certificates delivered thereunder, if taken or omitted in good faith and without gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, shall not put the LC Bank under any resulting liability to the Seller, any LC Participant or any other Person.

     Section 1.22 Extension of Termination Date. For each of the first three years after the Closing Date, the Seller may request the extension of the Facility Termination Date for an additional three hundred and sixty-four (364) days from the Facility Termination Date then in effect by providing written notice to the Administrator and each Purchaser Agent; provided such request is made not more than 120 days prior to, and not less than 90 days prior to, the then current Facility Termination Date. In the event that the Purchasers are all agreeable to such extension, the Administrator shall so notify the Seller in writing (it being understood that the Purchasers may accept or decline such a request in their sole discretion and on such terms as they may elect) not less than 30 days prior to the then current Facility Termination Date and the Seller, the Servicer, the Administrator, the Purchaser Agents and the Purchasers shall enter into such documents as the Purchasers may deem necessary or appropriate to reflect such extension, and all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Purchasers, the Administrator and the Purchaser Agents in connection therewith (including reasonable Attorneys’ Costs) shall be paid by the Seller. In the event any Purchaser declines the request for such extension, such Purchaser (or the applicable Purchaser Agent on its behalf) shall so notify the Administrator and the Administrator shall so notify the Seller of such determination; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrator to notify the Seller of the determination to decline such extension shall not affect the understanding and agreement that the applicable Purchasers shall be deemed to have refused to grant the requested extension in the event the Administrator fails to affirmatively notify the Seller, in writing, of their agreement to accept the requested extension.

     Section 4.1 Appointment of the Servicer.

     (a) The servicing, administering and collection of the Pool Receivables shall be conducted by the Person so designated from time to time as the Servicer in accordance with this Section 4.1. Until the Administrator gives notice to Cooper Tire (in accordance with this Section 4.1) of the designation of a new Servicer, Cooper Tire is hereby designated as, and hereby agrees to perform the duties and obligations of, the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof. Upon the occurrence of a Termination Event, the Administrator may (with the consent of the Majority Purchaser Agents) or shall (at the direction of the Majority Purchaser Agents) designate as Servicer any Person (including itself) to succeed Cooper Tire or any successor Servicer, on the condition in each case that any such Person so designated shall agree to perform the duties and obligations of the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof.

     (b) Upon the designation of a successor Servicer as set forth in clause (a), Cooper Tire agrees that it will terminate its activities as Servicer hereunder in a manner that the Administrator determines will facilitate the transition of the performance of such activities to the new Servicer, and Cooper Tire shall cooperate with and assist such new Servicer. Such cooperation shall include access to and transfer of related records (including all Contracts) and use by the new Servicer of all licenses, hardware or software necessary or desirable to collect the Pool Receivables and the Related Security.

     (c) Cooper Tire acknowledges that, in making their decision to execute and deliver this Agreement, the Administrator and each member in each Purchaser Group have relied on Cooper Tire’s agreement to act as Servicer hereunder. Accordingly, Cooper Tire agrees that it will not voluntarily resign as Servicer.

     (d) The Servicer may delegate its duties and obligations hereunder to any subservicer (each a “Sub-Servicer”); provided, that, in each such delegation: (i) such Sub-Servicer shall agree in writing to perform the duties and obligations of the Servicer pursuant to the terms

hereof, (ii) the Servicer shall remain liable for the performance of the duties and obligations so delegated, (iii) the Seller, the Administrator and each Purchaser Group shall have the right to look solely to the Servicer for performance, and (iv) the terms of any agreement with any Sub-Servicer shall provide that the Administrator may terminate such agreement upon the termination of the Servicer hereunder by giving notice of its desire to terminate such agreement to the Servicer (and the Servicer shall provide appropriate notice to each such Sub-Servicer); provided, however, that if any such delegation is to any Person other than an Originator or an Affiliate thereof, the Administrator and the Majority Purchaser Agents shall have consented in writing in advance to such delegation.

     Section 4.2 Duties of the Servicer.

     (a) The Servicer shall take or cause to be taken all such action as may be necessary or advisable to administer and collect each Pool Receivable from time to time, all in accordance with this Agreement and all applicable laws, rules and regulations, with reasonable care and diligence, and in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policies. The Servicer shall set aside for the accounts of the Seller and each Purchaser Group the amount of Collections to which each such Purchaser Group is entitled in accordance with Article I hereof. The Servicer may correct errors in Receivables and records of Receivables, including correcting to conform to applicable laws, rules and regulations, and to the applicable Contract, and, in accordance with the applicable Credit and Collection Policy, take such action, including modifications, waivers or restructurings of Pool Receivables and the related Contracts, as the Servicer may reasonably determine to be appropriate to maximize Collections thereof or reflect adjustments permitted under the Credit and Collection Policy; provided, however, that: (i) corrections, modifications, waivers and restructurings shall not alter the status of such Pool Receivable as a Delinquent Receivable or a Defaulted Receivable or limit the rights of any Purchaser, Purchaser Agent or the Administrator under this Agreement and (ii) if a Termination Event or an Unmatured Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and Cooper Tire or an Affiliate thereof is serving as the Servicer, Cooper Tire or such Affiliate may make such extension or adjustment only upon the prior approval of the Administrator. The Seller shall deliver to the Servicer and the Servicer shall hold for the benefit of the Seller and the Administrator (individually and for the benefit of each Purchaser Group, in accordance with their respective interests, all records and documents (including computer tapes or disks) with respect to each Pool Receivable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Administrator may direct the Servicer (whether the Servicer is Cooper Tire or any other Person) to commence or settle any legal action to enforce collection of any Pool Receivable or to foreclose upon or repossess any Related Security.

     (b) The Servicer shall, as soon as practicable following actual receipt of collected funds, turn over to the Seller the collections of any indebtedness that is not a Pool Receivable, less, if Cooper Tire or an Affiliate thereof is not the Servicer, all reasonable and appropriate out-of-pocket costs and expenses of such Servicer of servicing, collecting and administering such collections. The Servicer, if other than Cooper Tire or an Affiliate thereof, shall, as soon as practicable upon demand, deliver to the Seller all records in its possession that evidence or relate to any indebtedness that is not a Pool Receivable, and copies of records in its possession that evidence or relate to any indebtedness that is a Pool Receivable.

     (c) The Servicer’s obligations hereunder shall terminate on the later of: (i) the Facility Termination Date, (ii) the date on which no Capital or Discount in respect of the Purchased Interest shall be outstanding, (iii) the date on which an amount equal to 100% of the LC Participation Amount has been deposited in the LC Collateral Account or all Letters of Credit have expired, and (iv) the date on which all amounts required to be paid to the Purchaser Agents, each Purchaser, the Administrator and any other Indemnified Party or Affected Person hereunder shall have been paid in full.

     After such termination, if Cooper Tire or an Affiliate thereof was not the Servicer on the date of such termination, the Servicer shall promptly deliver to the Seller all books, records and related materials that the Seller previously provided to the Servicer, or that have been obtained by the Servicer, in connection with this Agreement.

     Section 4.3 Lock-Box Account Arrangements. Prior to the Closing Date, the Seller shall have entered into Lock-Box Agreements with all of the Lock-Box Banks and delivered original counterparts of each to the Administrator. Upon the occurrence of a Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event, the Administrator may (with the consent of the Majority Purchaser Agents) or shall (upon the direction of the Majority Purchaser Agents) at any time thereafter give notice to each Lock-Box Bank that the Administrator is exercising its rights under the Lock-Box Agreements to do any or all of the following: (a) to have the exclusive ownership and control of the Lock-Box Accounts transferred to the Administrator (for the benefit of the Purchasers) and to exercise exclusive dominion and control over the funds deposited therein, (b) to have the proceeds that are sent to the respective Lock-Box Accounts redirected pursuant to the Administrator’s instructions rather than deposited in the applicable Lock-Box Account, and (c) to take any or all other actions permitted under the applicable Lock-Box Agreement. The Seller hereby agrees that if the Administrator at any time takes any action set forth in the preceding sentence, the Administrator shall have exclusive control (for the benefit of the Purchasers) of the proceeds (including Collections) of all Pool Receivables and the Seller hereby further agrees to take any other action that the Administrator or any Purchaser Agent may reasonably request to transfer such control. Any proceeds of Pool Receivables received by the Seller or the Servicer thereafter shall be sent immediately to, or as otherwise instructed by, the Administrator. The parties hereto hereby acknowledge that if at any time the Administrator takes control of any Lock-Box Account, the Administrator shall not have any rights to the funds therein in excess of the unpaid amounts due to the Administrator, any member of any Purchaser Group, any Indemnified Party or Affected Person or any other Person hereunder, and the Administrator shall distribute or cause to be distributed such funds in accordance with Section 4.2(b) and Article I (in each case as if such funds were held by the Servicer thereunder).

     Section 4.4 Enforcement Rights.

     (i) the Administrator may direct the Obligors that payment of all amounts payable under any Pool Receivable is to be made directly to the Administrator or its designee,

     (ii) the Administrator may instruct the Seller or the Servicer to give notice of the Purchaser Groups’ interest in Pool Receivables to each Obligor, which notice shall direct that payments be made directly to the Administrator or its designee (on behalf of such Purchaser Groups), and the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, shall give such notice at the expense of the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be; provided, that if the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, fails to so notify each Obligor, the Administrator (at the Seller’s or the Servicer’s, as the case may be, expense) may so notify the Obligors, and

     (iii) the Administrator may request the Servicer to, and upon such request the Servicer shall: (A) assemble all of the records necessary or desirable to collect the Pool Receivables and the Related Security, and transfer or license to a successor Servicer the use of all software necessary or desirable to collect the Pool Receivables and the Related Security, and make the same available to the Administrator or its designee (for the benefit of the Purchasers) at a place selected by the Administrator, and (B) segregate all cash, checks and other instruments received by it from time to time constituting Collections in a manner acceptable to the Administrator and, promptly upon receipt, remit all such cash, checks and instruments, duly endorsed or with duly executed instruments of transfer, to the Administrator or its designee.

     (b) The Seller hereby authorizes the Administrator (on behalf of each Purchaser Group), and irrevocably appoints the Administrator as its attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution and with full authority in the place and stead of the Seller, which appointment is coupled with an interest, to take any and all steps in the name of the Seller and on behalf of the Seller necessary or desirable, in the determination of the Administrator, after the occurrence of a Termination Event, to collect any and all amounts or portions thereof due under any and all Pool Assets, including endorsing the name of the Seller on checks and other instruments representing Collections and enforcing such Pool Assets. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this subsection, none of the powers conferred upon such attorney-in-fact pursuant to the preceding sentence shall subject such attorney-in-fact to any liability if any action taken by it shall prove to be inadequate or invalid, nor shall they confer any obligations upon such attorney-in-fact in any manner whatsoever.

     Section 4.5 Responsibilities of the Seller.

     (a) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Seller shall: (i) perform all of its obligations, if any, under the Contracts related to the Pool Receivables to the same extent as if interests in such Pool Receivables had not been transferred hereunder, and the exercise by the Administrator, the Purchaser Agents or the Purchasers of their respective rights hereunder shall not relieve the Seller from such obligations, and (ii) pay when due any taxes, including any sales taxes payable in connection with the Pool Receivables and their creation and satisfaction. None of the Administrator, the Purchaser Agents or any of the Purchasers shall have any obligation or liability with respect to any Pool Asset, nor shall any of them be obligated to perform any of the obligations of the Seller, Servicer, Cooper Tire or the Originators thereunder.

     (b) Cooper Tire hereby irrevocably agrees that if at any time it shall cease to be the Servicer hereunder, it shall act (if the then-current Servicer so requests) as the data-processing

agent of the Servicer and, in such capacity, Cooper Tire shall conduct the data-processing functions of the administration of the Receivables and the Collections thereon in substantially the same way that Cooper Tire conducted such data-processing functions while it acted as the Servicer.

     Section 4.6 Servicing Fee. (a) Subject to clause (b), the Servicer shall be paid a fee (the “Servicing Fee”) equal to 1.00% per annum (the “Servicing Fee Rate”) of the daily average aggregate Outstanding Balance of the Pool Receivables. The Purchasers’ Share of such fee shall be paid through the distributions contemplated by Section 1.4(d), and the Seller’s Share of such fee shall be paid directly by the Seller.

     (b) If the Servicer ceases to be Cooper Tire or an Affiliate thereof, the servicing fee shall be the greater of: (i) the amount calculated pursuant to clause (a), and (ii) an alternative amount specified by the successor Servicer not to exceed 110% of the aggregate reasonable costs and expenses incurred by such successor Servicer in connection with the performance of its obligations as Servicer.

Each LC Participant and Related Committed Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrator (but solely in its capacity as Administrator) and the LC Bank and their respective officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents (to the extent not reimbursed by the Seller, the Servicer or any Originator and without limiting the obligation of the Seller, the Servicer, or any Originator to do so), ratably (based on its Commitment) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, judgments, settlements, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind whatsoever (including in connection with any investigative or threatened proceeding, whether or not the Administrator, the LC Bank or such Person shall be designated a party thereto) that may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrator, the LC Bank or such Person as a result of, or related to, any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents or the execution, delivery or performance of the Transaction Documents or any other document furnished in connection therewith (but excluding any such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, judgments, settlements, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrator, the LC Bank or such Person as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction).

After any retiring Administrator’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of Sections 3.1 and 3.2 and this Article V shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrator.

ARTICLE VI

MISCELLANEOUS

     Section 6.1 Amendments, Etc. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or consent to any departure by the Seller or the Servicer therefrom, shall be effective unless in a writing signed by the Administrator, the LC Bank and each of the Majority LC Participants and Majority Purchaser Agents, and, in the case of any amendment, by the other parties thereto; and then such amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that, to the extent required by the securitization program of any Conduit Purchaser, no such material amendment shall be effective until the Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied with respect thereto (the Administrator hereby agrees to provide executed copies of any material amendment to or waiver of any provision of this Agreement to the Rating Agencies); provided, further that no such amendment or waiver shall, without the consent of each affected Purchaser, (A) extend the date of any payment or deposit of Collections by the Seller or the Servicer, (B) reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of Discount, (C) reduce any fees payable to the Administrator, any Purchaser Agent or any Purchaser pursuant to the applicable Purchaser Group Fee Letter, (D) change the amount of Capital of any Purchaser, any Purchaser’s pro rata share of the Purchased Interest or any Related Committed Purchaser’s or LC Participant’s Commitment, (E) amend, modify or waive any provision of the definition of “Majority Purchaser Agents” or this Section 6.1, (F) consent to or permit the assignment or transfer by the Seller of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, (G) change the definition of “Eligible Receivable,” “Loss Reserve,” “Loss Reserve Percentage,” “Dilution Reserve,” “Dilution Reserve Percentage”, “Specifically Reserved Dilution Amount” or “Termination Event”, or (H) amend or modify any defined term (or any defined term used directly or indirectly in such defined term) used in clauses (A) through (G) above in a manner that would circumvent the intention of the restrictions set forth in such clauses. No failure on the part of the Purchasers, the Purchaser Agents or the Administrator to exercise, and no delay in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial

exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.

     Section 6.2 Notices, Etc. All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall, unless otherwise stated herein, be in writing (including facsimile communication) and shall be personally delivered or sent by facsimile, or by overnight mail, to the intended party at the mailing address or facsimile number of such party set forth under its name on the signature pages hereof (or in any other document or agreement pursuant to which it is or became a party hereto), or at such other address or facsimile number as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other parties hereto. All such notices and communications shall be effective (i) if delivered by overnight mail, when received, and (ii) if transmitted by facsimile, when sent, receipt confirmed by telephone or electronic means.

     Section 6.3 Successors and Assigns; Participations; Assignments.

     (a) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.1(d), neither the Seller nor the Servicer may assign or transfer any of its rights or delegate any of its duties hereunder or under any Transaction Document without the prior consent of the Administrator, the LC Bank, the Required LC Participants and the Purchaser Agents.

     (b) Participations. (i) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, any Purchaser may sell to one or more Persons (each a “Participant”) participating interests in the interests of such Purchaser hereunder; provided, however, that no Purchaser shall grant any participation under which the Participant shall have rights to approve any amendment to or waiver of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. Such Purchaser shall remain solely responsible for performing its obligations hereunder, and the Seller, each Purchaser Agent and the Administrator shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Purchaser in connection with such Purchaser’s rights and obligations hereunder. A Purchaser shall not agree with a Participant to restrict such Purchaser’s right to agree to any amendment hereto, except amendments that require the consent of all Purchasers. (ii) Notwithstanding anything contained in paragraph (a) or clause (i) of paragraph (b) of this Section 6.3, each of the LC Bank and each LC Participant may sell participations in all or any part of any Funded Purchase made by such LC Participant to another bank or other entity so long as (i) no such grant of a participation shall, without the consent of the Seller, require the Seller to file a registration statement with the SEC and (ii) no holder of any such participation shall be entitled to require such LC Participant to take or omit to take any action hereunder except that such LC Participant may agree with such participant that, without such Participant’s consent, such LC Participant will not consent to an amendment, modification or waiver referred to in Section 6.1. Any such Participant shall not have any rights hereunder or under the Transaction Documents.

     (c) Assignments by Certain Related Committed Purchasers. Any Related Committed Purchaser may assign to one or more Persons (each a “Purchasing Related Committed Purchaser”), reasonably acceptable to the Administrator, the LC Bank and the related Purchaser Agent in its sole discretion, any portion of its Commitment (which shall be inclusive of its Commitment as an LC Participant) pursuant to a supplement hereto, substantially in the form of

Annex D with any changes as have been approved by the parties thereto (each, a “Transfer Supplement”), executed by each such Purchasing Related Committed Purchaser, such selling Related Committed Purchaser, such related Purchaser Agent and the Administrator. Any such assignment by Related Committed Purchaser cannot be for an amount less than $10,000,000. Upon (i) the execution of the Transfer Supplement, (ii) delivery of an executed copy thereof to the Seller, such related Purchaser Agent and the Administrator and (iii) payment by the Purchasing Related Committed Purchaser to the selling Related Committed Purchaser of the agreed purchase price, if any, such selling Related Committed Purchaser shall be released from its obligations hereunder to the extent of such assignment and such Purchasing Related Committed Purchaser shall for all purposes be a Related Committed Purchaser party hereto and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Related Committed Purchaser hereunder to the same extent as if it were an original party hereto. The amount of the Commitment of the selling Related Committed Purchaser allocable to such Purchasing Related Committed Purchaser shall be equal to the amount of the Commitment of the selling Related Committed Purchaser transferred regardless of the purchase price, if any, paid therefor. The Transfer Supplement shall be an amendment hereof only to the extent necessary to reflect the addition of such Purchasing Related Committed Purchaser as a “Related Committed Purchaser” and a related “LC Participant” and any resulting adjustment of the selling Related Committed Purchaser’s Commitment.

     (d) Assignments to Liquidity Providers and other Program Support Providers. Any Conduit Purchaser may at any time grant to one or more of its Liquidity Providers or other Program Support Providers, participating interests in its portion of the Purchased Interest. In the event of any such grant by such Conduit Purchaser of a participating interest to a Liquidity Provider or other Program Support Provider, such Conduit Purchaser shall remain responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder. The Seller agrees that each Liquidity Provider and Program Support Provider of any Conduit Purchaser hereunder shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 1.7.

     (e) Other Assignment by Conduit Purchasers. Each party hereto agrees and consents (i) to any Conduit Purchaser’s assignment, participation, grant of security interests in or other transfers of any portion of, or any of its beneficial interest in, the Purchased Interest (or portion thereof), including without limitation to any collateral agent in connection with its commercial paper program and (ii) to the complete assignment by any Conduit Purchaser of all of its rights and obligations hereunder to any other Person, and upon such assignment such Conduit Purchaser shall be released from all obligations and duties, if any, hereunder; provided, however, that such Conduit Purchaser may not, without the prior consent of its Related Committed Purchasers, make any such transfer of its rights hereunder unless the assignee (i) is principally engaged in the purchase of assets similar to the assets being purchased hereunder, (ii) has as its Purchaser Agent the Purchaser Agent of the assigning Conduit Purchaser and (iii) issues commercial paper or other Notes with credit ratings substantially comparable to the ratings of the assigning Conduit Purchaser. Any assigning Conduit Purchaser shall deliver to any assignee a Transfer Supplement with any changes as have been approved by the parties thereto, duly executed by such Conduit Purchaser, assigning any portion of its interest in the Purchased Interest to its assignee. Such Conduit Purchaser shall promptly (i) notify each of the other parties hereto of such assignment and (ii) take all further action that the assignee reasonably requests in order to evidence the assignee’s right, title and interest in such interest in the

Purchased Interest and to enable the assignee to exercise or enforce any rights of such Conduit Purchaser hereunder. Upon the assignment of any portion of its interest in the Purchased Interest, the assignee shall have all of the rights hereunder with respect to such interest (except that the Discount therefor shall thereafter accrue at the rate, determined with respect to the assigning Conduit Purchaser unless the Seller, the related Purchaser Agent and the assignee shall have agreed upon a different Discount).

     (f) Opinions of Counsel. If required by the Administrator or the applicable Purchaser Agent or to maintain the ratings of any Conduit Purchaser, each Transfer Supplement or other assignment and acceptance agreement must be accompanied by an opinion of counsel of the assignee as to such matters as the Administrator or such Purchaser Agent may reasonably request.

     Section 6.4 Costs, Expenses and Taxes. (a) By way of clarification, and not of limitation, of Sections 1.7 or 3.1, the Seller shall pay to the Administrator, each Purchaser Agent and/or any Purchaser on demand all costs and expenses in connection with (i) the preparation, execution, delivery and administration (including amendments or waivers of any provision) of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, (ii) the sale of the Purchased Interest (or any portion thereof), (iii) the perfection (and continuation) of the Administrator’s rights in the Receivables, Collections and other Pool Assets, (iv) the enforcement by the Administrator, any Purchaser Agent or any member of any Purchaser Group of the obligations of the Seller, the Servicer or the Originators under the Transaction Documents or of any Obligor under a Receivable and (v) the maintenance by the Administrator of the Lock-Box Accounts (and any related lock-box or post office box), including fees, costs and expenses of legal counsel for the Administrator and the Purchaser Agents relating to any of the foregoing or to advising the Administrator or any member of any Purchaser Group (including, any related Liquidity Provider or any other related Program Support Provider) about its rights and remedies under any Transaction Document or any other document, agreement or instrument related thereto and all costs and expenses (including counsel fees and expenses) of the Administrator and any Purchaser Agent in connection with the enforcement or administration of the Transaction Documents or any other document, agreement or instrument related thereto. The Seller shall reimburse the Administrator and each Purchaser Agent for the cost of such Person’s auditors (which may be employees of such Person) auditing the books, records and procedures of the Seller or the Servicer. The Seller shall reimburse each Conduit Purchaser for any amounts such Conduit Purchaser must pay to any related Liquidity Provider or other related Program Support Provider pursuant to any Funding Agreement on account of any Tax. The Seller shall reimburse each Conduit Purchaser on demand for all out of pocket costs and expenses incurred by such Conduit Purchaser in connection with the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby.

     (b) In addition, the Seller shall pay on demand any and all stamp and other taxes and fees payable in connection with the execution, delivery, filing and recording of this Agreement or the other documents or agreements to be delivered hereunder, and agrees to save each Indemnified Party and Affected Person harmless from and against any liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay in paying or omission to pay such taxes and fees.

The provisions of this paragraph shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

     (b) Notwithstanding any provisions contained in this Agreement to the contrary, no Conduit Purchaser shall or shall be obligated to, pay any amount, if any, payable by it pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document unless (i) such Conduit Purchaser has received funds which may be used to make such payment and which funds are not required to repay the Notes when due and (ii) after giving effect to such payment, either (x) such Conduit Purchaser could issue Notes to refinance all outstanding Notes (assuming such outstanding Notes matured at such time) in accordance with the program documents governing such Conduit Purchaser’s securitization program or (y) all Notes are paid in full. Any amount which such Conduit Purchaser does not pay pursuant to the operation of the preceding sentence shall not constitute a claim (as defined in §101 of the Bankruptcy Code) against or company obligation of such Conduit Purchaser for any such insufficiency unless and until such Conduit Purchaser satisfies the provisions of clauses (i) and (ii) above. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

     (i) Creation. This Agreement creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in the Receivables included in the Receivables Pool in favor of the Administrator (for the benefit of the Purchasers), which security interest is prior to all other Adverse Claims, and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and purchasers from the Seller.

     (iv) Perfection and Related Security. The Seller has caused the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect the sale of the Receivables and Related Security from such Originator to the Seller pursuant to the Sale Agreement, and the sale and security interest therein from the Seller to the Administrator under this Agreement, to the extent that such collateral constitutes “accounts,” “general intangibles,” or “tangible chattel paper.”

     (v) Tangible Chattel Paper. With respect to any Receivables included in the Receivables Pool that constitute “tangible chattel paper”, if any, the Seller (or the Servicer on its behalf) has in its possession the original copies of such tangible chattel paper that constitute or evidence such Receivables, and the Seller has caused (and will cause the applicable Originator to cause), within ten days after the Closing Date, the filing of financing statements described in clause (iv), above, each of which will contain a statement that: “A purchase of, or security interest in, any collateral described in this financing statement will violate the rights of the Administrator.” The Receivables to the extent they are evidenced by “tangible chattel paper” do not have any marks or notations indicating that they have been pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed to any Person other than the Seller or the Administrator.

     (b) The Collection Account.

     (i) Nature of Account. Each Lock-Box Account constitutes a “deposit account” within the meaning of the applicable UCC.

     (ii) Ownership. The Seller owns and has good and marketable title to the Lock-Box Accounts and Collection Account free and clear of any Adverse Claim.

     (iii) Perfection. The Seller has delivered to the Administrator a fully executed Lock-Box Agreement relating to each Lock-Box Account, pursuant to which each applicable Lock-Box Bank, respectively, has agreed, following the occurrence and continuation of a Termination Event, to comply with all instructions originated by the Administrator (on behalf of the Purchasers) directing the disposition of funds in such Lock-Box Account without further consent by the Seller or the Servicer.

     (c) Priority.

     (i) Other than the transfer of the Receivables to the Seller and the Administrator under the Sale Agreement and this Agreement, respectively, and/or the security interest granted to the Seller and the Administrator pursuant to the Sale Agreement and this Agreement, respectively, neither the Seller nor any Originator has pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the Receivables transferred or purported to be transferred under the Transaction Documents, the Lock-Box Accounts or any subaccount thereof, except for any such pledge, grant or other conveyance which has been released or terminated. Neither the Seller nor any Originator has authorized the filing of, or is aware of any financing statements against either the Seller or such Originator that include a description of Receivables transferred or purported to be transferred under the Transaction Documents, the Lock-Box Accounts or any subaccount thereof, other than any financing statement (i) relating to the sale thereof by such Originator to the Seller under the Sale Agreement, (ii) relating to the security interest granted to the Administrator under this Agreement, or (iii) that has been released or terminated.

     (f) Servicer to Maintain Perfection and Priority. In order to evidence the interests of the Administrator under this Agreement, the Servicer shall, from time to time take such action, or execute and deliver such instruments as may be necessary (including, without limitation, such actions as are reasonably requested by the Administrator or any Purchaser Agent) to maintain and perfect, as a first-priority interest, the Administrator’s security interest in the Receivables, Related Security and Collections. The Servicer shall, from time to time and within the time

limits established by law, prepare and present to the Administrator for the Administrator’s authorization and approval, all financing statements, amendments, continuations or initial financing statements in lieu of a continuation statement, or other filings necessary to continue, maintain and perfect the Administrator’s security interest as a first-priority interest.

The Servicer will not commingle Collections or other funds to which the Administrator, any Purchaser Agent or any Purchaser is entitled with any other funds. The Servicer shall only add, a Lock-Box Bank (or the related lock-box or post office box), or Lock-Box Account to those listed

on Schedule II to this Agreement, if the Administrator has received notice of such addition, a copy of any new Lock-Box Agreement and an executed and acknowledged copy of a Lock-Box Agreement in form and substance acceptable to the Administrator from any such new Lock-Box Bank. The Servicer shall only terminate a Lock-Box Bank or close a Lock-Box Account (or the related lock-box or post office box), upon 30 days’ advance notice to the Administrator.

     (g) Extension or Amendment of Pool Receivables. Except as otherwise permitted in Section 4.2 of this Agreement, the Servicer will not extend, amend or otherwise modify the terms of any Pool Receivable, or amend, modify or waive any term or condition of any Contract related thereto, without the prior written consent of the Administrator and the Majority Purchaser Agents. The Servicer shall at its expense, timely and fully perform and comply with all material provisions, covenants and other promises required to be observed by it under the Contracts related to the Pool Receivables, and timely and fully comply in all material respects with the Credit and Collection Policy with regard to each Pool Receivable and the related Contract.

     (h) Change in Business. The Servicer will not (i) make any change in the character of its business, which change would impair the collectibility of any Pool Receivable or (ii) make any change in any Credit and Collection Policy that could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the collectibility of the Pool Receivables, the enforceability of any related Contract or its ability to perform its obligations under the related Contract or the Transaction Documents, in the case of either (i) or (ii) above, without the prior written consent of the Administrator and each Purchaser Agent. The Servicer shall not make any change in any Credit and Collection Policy without giving prior written notice thereof to the Administrator and each Purchaser Agent.

     (i) Records. The Servicer will maintain and implement administrative and operating procedures (including an ability to recreate records evidencing Pool Receivables and related Contracts in the event of the destruction of the originals thereof), and keep and maintain all documents, books, records, computer tapes and disks and other information reasonably necessary or advisable for the collection of all Pool Receivables (including records adequate to permit the daily identification of each Pool Receivable and all Collections of and adjustments to each existing Pool Receivable).

     (j) Change in Payment Instructions to Obligors. The Servicer shall not add to, replace or terminate any of the Lock-Box Accounts (or any related lock-box or post office box) listed in Schedule II hereto or make any change in its instructions to the Obligors regarding payments to be made to the Lock-Box Accounts (or any related lock-box or post office box), unless the Administrator and each Purchaser Agent shall have received (x) prior written notice of such addition, termination or change and (y) signed and acknowledged Lock-Box Agreements with respect to such new Lock-Box Accounts (or any related lock-box or post office box).

     (k) Ownership Interest, Etc. The Servicer shall, at its expense, take all action necessary or desirable to establish and maintain a valid and enforceable undivided percentage ownership or security interest, to the extent of the Purchased Interest, in the Pool Receivables, the Related Security and Collections with respect thereto, and a first priority perfected security interest in the Pool Assets, in each case free and clear of any Adverse Claim in favor of the Administrator (on behalf of the Purchasers), including taking such action to perfect, protect or

more fully evidence the interest of the Administrator (on behalf of the Purchasers) as the Administrator or any Purchaser Agent, may reasonably request.

     3. Separate Existence. Each of the Seller and the Servicer hereby acknowledges that the Purchasers and the Administrator are entering into the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents in reliance upon the Seller’s identity as a legal entity separate from Cooper Tire, the Originators and their respective Affiliates. Therefore, from and after the date hereof, each of the Seller and the Servicer shall take all steps specifically required by this Agreement or reasonably required by the Administrator or any Purchaser Agent to continue the Seller’s identity as a separate legal entity and to make it apparent to third Persons that the Seller is an entity with assets and liabilities distinct from those of Cooper Tire, any Originator and any other Person, and is not a division of Cooper Tire, any Originator or any other Person. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and in addition to and consistent with the other covenants set forth herein, each of the Seller and the Servicer shall take such actions as shall be required in order that:

     (a) The Seller will be a limited liability company whose primary activities are restricted in its operating agreement to: (i) purchasing or otherwise acquiring from the Originators, owning, holding, granting security interests or selling interests in Pool Assets, (ii) entering into agreements for the selling and servicing of the Receivables Pool, and (iii) conducting such other activities as it deems necessary or appropriate to carry out its primary activities;

     (b) The Seller shall not engage in any business or activity, or incur any indebtedness or liability (including, without limitation, any assumption or guaranty of any obligation of Cooper Tire, any Originator or any Affiliate thereof), other than as expressly permitted by the Transaction Documents;

     (c) (i) Not less than one member of the Seller’s Board of Directors (the “Independent Director”) shall be a natural person (A) who is not at the time of initial appointment and has not been at any time during the five (5) years preceding such appointment: (1) an equityholder, director (other than the Independent Director), officer, employee, member, manager, attorney or partner of Cooper Tire, Seller or any of their Affiliates; (2) a customer of, supplier to or other person who derives more than 1% of its purchases or revenues from its activities with Cooper Tire, Seller or any of their Affiliates; (3) a person or other entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with any such equity holder, partner, member, manager customer, supplier or other person; or (4) a member of the immediate family of any such equity holder, director, officer, employee, member, manager, partner, customer, supplier or other person and (B) who has (1) prior experience as an independent director for a corporation or an independent manager of a limited liability company whose charter documents required the unanimous consent of all independent director or independent managers thereof before such corporation could consent to the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against it or could file a petition seeking relief under any applicable federal or state law relating to bankruptcy and (2) at least three years of employment experience with one or more entities that provide, in the ordinary course of their respective businesses, advisory, management or placement services to issuers of securitization or structured finance instruments, agreements or securities. Under this clause (c), the term “control” means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct

or cause the direction of management, policies or activities of a Person, whether through ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise. (ii) The operating agreement of the Seller shall provide that: (A) the Seller’s Board of Directors shall not approve, or take any other action to cause the filing of, a voluntary bankruptcy petition with respect to the Seller unless the Independent Director shall approve the taking of such action in writing before the taking of such action, and (B) such provision cannot be amended without the prior written consent of the Independent Director;

     (d) The Independent Director shall not at any time serve as a trustee in bankruptcy for the Seller, Cooper Tire, any Originator or any of their respective Affiliates;

     (e) The Seller shall conduct its affairs strictly in accordance with its organizational documents and observe all necessary, appropriate and customary company formalities, including, but not limited to, holding all regular and special members’ and board of managers’ meetings appropriate to authorize all limited liability company action, keeping separate and accurate minutes of its meetings, passing all resolutions or consents necessary to authorize actions taken or to be taken, and maintaining accurate and separate books, records and accounts, including, but not limited to, payroll and intercompany transaction accounts;

     (f) Any employee, consultant or agent of the Seller will be compensated from the Seller’s funds for services provided to the Seller, and to the extent that Seller shares the same officers or other employees as Cooper Tire or any Originator (or any other Affiliate thereof), the salaries and expenses relating to providing benefits to such officers and other employees shall be fairly allocated among such entities, and each such entity shall bear its fair share of the salary and benefit costs associated with such common officers and employees. The Seller will not engage any agents other than its attorneys, auditors and other professionals, and a servicer and any other agent contemplated by the Transaction Documents for the Receivables Pool, which servicer will be fully compensated for its services by payment of the Servicing Fee, and a manager, which manager will be fully compensated from the Seller’s funds;

     (g) The Seller will contract with the Servicer to perform for the Seller all operations required on a daily basis to service the Receivables Pool. The Seller will pay the Servicer the Servicing Fee pursuant hereto. Except as otherwise permitted by this Agreement, the Seller will not incur any material indirect or overhead expenses for items shared with Cooper Tire or any Originator (or any other Affiliate thereof) that are not reflected in the Servicing Fee. To the extent, if any, that the Seller (or any Affiliate thereof) shares items of expenses not reflected in the Servicing Fee or the manager’s fee, such as legal, auditing and other professional services, such expenses will be allocated to the extent practical on the basis of actual use or the value of services rendered, and otherwise on a basis reasonably related to the actual use or the value of services rendered; it being understood that Cooper Tire, in its capacity as Servicer, shall pay all expenses relating to the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents, including legal, agency and other fees;

     (h) The Seller’s operating expenses will not be paid by Cooper Tire or any Originator or any Affiliate thereof;

     (i) The Seller will have its own separate stationery;

     (j) The Seller’s books and records will be maintained separately from those of Cooper Tire, each Originator and any other Affiliate thereof and in a manner such that it will not be difficult or costly to segregate, ascertain or otherwise identify the assets and liabilities of Seller;

     (k) All financial statements of Cooper Tire or any Originator or any Affiliate thereof that are consolidated to include Seller will disclose that (i) the Seller’s sole business consists of the purchase or acceptance through capital contributions of the Receivables and Related Rights from the Originators and the subsequent retransfer of or granting of a security interest in such Receivables and Related Rights to certain purchasers party to this Agreement, (ii) the Seller is a separate legal entity with its own separate creditors who will be entitled, upon its liquidation, to be satisfied out of the Seller’s assets prior to any assets or value in the Seller becoming available to the Seller’s equity holders and (iii) the assets of the Seller are not available to pay creditors of Cooper Tire or the Originators or any other Affiliates of Cooper Tire or the Originators;

     (l) The Seller’s assets will be maintained in a manner that facilitates their identification and segregation from those of Cooper Tire, the Originators or any Affiliates thereof;

     (m) The Seller will strictly observe corporate formalities in its dealings with Cooper Tire, the Originators or any Affiliates thereof, and funds or other assets of the Seller will not be commingled with those of Cooper Tire, the Originators or any Affiliates thereof except as permitted by this Agreement in connection with servicing the Pool Receivables. The Seller shall not maintain joint bank accounts or other depository accounts to which Cooper Tire or any Affiliate thereof (other than Cooper Tire in its capacity as the Servicer) has independent access. The Seller is not named, and has not entered into any agreement to be named, directly or indirectly, as a direct or contingent beneficiary or loss payee on any insurance policy with respect to any loss relating to the property of Cooper Tire, the Originators or any Subsidiaries or other Affiliates thereof. The Seller will pay to the appropriate Affiliate the marginal increase or, in the absence of such increase, the market amount of its portion of the premium payable with respect to any insurance policy that covers the Seller and such Affiliate;

     (n) The Seller will maintain arm’s-length relationships with Cooper Tire, the Originators (and any Affiliates thereof). Any Person that renders or otherwise furnishes services to the Seller will be compensated by the Seller at market rates for such services it renders or otherwise furnishes to the Seller. Neither the Seller on the one hand, nor Cooper Tire or any Originator, on the other hand, will be or will hold itself out to be responsible for the debts of the other or the decisions or actions respecting the daily business and affairs of the other. The Seller, Cooper Tire and the Originators will immediately correct any known misrepresentation with respect to the foregoing, and they will not operate or purport to operate as an integrated single economic unit with respect to each other or in their dealing with any other entity;

     (o) The Seller shall have a separate area from Cooper Tire and each Originator for its business (which may be located at the same address as such entities) and to the extent that any other such entity has offices in the same location, there shall be a fair and appropriate allocation of overhead costs between them, and each shall bear its fair share of such expenses; and

     (p) To the extent not already covered in paragraphs (a) through (o) above, Seller shall comply and/or act in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.4 of the Sale Agreement.
