(d) CHARACTERIZATION. It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the conveyance of the ING Receivables Interest by Triple-A to ING be construed as a sale of the ING Receivables Interest by Triple-A to ING and not as a pledge of the ING Receivables Interest by Triple-A to ING to secure a debt or other obligation of Triple-A. However, if, notwithstanding the aforementioned intent of the parties, the ING Receivables Interest is held to be property of Triple-A, then, (a) it is the express intent of the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the ING Receivables Interest by Triple-A to ING to secure a debt or other obligation of Triple-A, and (b) (i) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the applicable jurisdiction, and (ii) the conveyance provided for herein shall be deemed to be a grant by Triple-A to ING of a security interest in all of Triple-A's right, title and interest in and to the ING Receivables Interest, and all amounts payable to the holder of the ING Receivables Interest in accordance with the terms thereof, and all proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into cash, instruments, securities or other property. Triple-A shall take such actions, at the expense of the Seller and ING, as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security interest in the ING Receivables Interest, such security interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of this Agreement. Triple-A does hereby consent to the filing by ING of financing statements to perfect the transactions contemplated hereby without the signature of Triple-A. SECTION 2.03. REDUCTION OF ING CAPITAL. (a) On each Settlement Date, subject to SECTION 5.01, the amount required to be distributed to ING pursuant to clause (ii) of SECTION 2.04 hereof in reduction of ING Capital shall be an amount equal to the excess of ING Capital over the ING Capital Limit, such that, following the application of such payments to outstanding ING Capital, the ING Capital Limit equals or exceeds the outstanding ING Capital. 3 (b) Immediately upon the consummation of a sale of securities by or on behalf of the Seller or an Affiliate thereof, secured, in whole or in part, by all or a portion of the Purchased Assets, the entire outstanding amount of ING Capital shall be due and payable to ING, PROVIDED, however, that, if the proceeds of such sale are not sufficient to pay all amounts due under the Triple-A Purchase Agreement in connection therewith, the funds shall be paid to the Collateral Agent for distribution in accordance with SECTION 6.11 of the Triple-A Purchase Agreement and such payment shall be subject to the priority of payments and other terms described in SECTION 5.01. SECTION 2.04. PAYMENT DATE ALLOCATIONS. On each Settlement Date, the Administrative Agent shall, subject to SECTION 5.01, distribute to ING, the ING Yield and other ING Obligations, to the extent payable pursuant to SECTION 6.11 of the Triple-A Purchase Agreement, to be applied by ING as follows: (i) To pay ING Yield; (ii) To repay ING Capital; and (iii) To pay any other ING Obligations which may be due and owing at such time. SECTION 2.05. PAYMENTS AND COMPUTATIONS, ETC. All amounts to be distributed by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall, subject to SECTION 5.01, be distributed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to SECTION 6.11 of the Triple-A Purchase Agreement in immediately available funds to ING not later than 2:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date on which payable. Payments received by ING after such time shall be deemed to have been received on the next Business Day. SECTION 2.06. ING TRIGGER EVENTS. Each of the following events shall constitute an "ING TRIGGER EVENT" within the meaning of this ING Purchase Agreement: (a) On any Settlement Date, the Default Ratio is greater than 1.5%; or (b) On any Settlement Date, the Delinquency Ratio is greater than 1.5%; or (c) On any Settlement Date, the ING 180 Day Delinquency Ratio is greater than 4.000%. PROVIDED, THAT, an ING Trigger Event shall be deemed to be cured and no longer continuing if both the Default Ratio and the Delinquency Ratio are less than or equal to 1.5% and the ING 180 Day Delinquency Ratio is less than or equal to 4.000%, as computed on each of three consecutive Settlement Dates following an ING Trigger Event, and no other ING Trigger Event or any ING Wind-Down Event has occurred and no ING Amortization Date has occurred, and is continuing. SECTION 2.07. INCREASED COSTS, CAPITAL ADEQUACY. 4 (a) If, after the date hereof due to either (i) the introduction of or any change in or to the interpretation of any law or regulation by the governmental authority that promulgated or administers compliance with such law or regulation (other than laws or regulations with respect to income taxes) or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental authority or similar agency (whether or not having the force of law), and ING's asset-supported financing business, any reserve or deposit or similar requirement shall be imposed, modified or deemed applicable or, any basis of taxation shall be changed or any other condition shall be imposed, and there shall be any increase in the cost to ING of making, funding or maintaining ING Receivables Interest Purchases or in the cost to ING of agreeing to make, fund or maintain ING Receivables Interest Purchases, then the Seller shall from time to time, upon demand by ING by the submission of the certificate described below, but subject to SECTION 5.01, pay to ING additional amounts sufficient to compensate ING for such increased cost. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount of such increased cost submitted to the Seller by ING (as applicable) shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. (b) If ING determines that compliance with any law or regulation or any guideline or request or any written interpretation from any central bank or other governmental authority or similar agency (whether or not having the force of law) which is introduced, implemented or received by ING after the date hereof, affects or would affect capital adequacy or the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by ING or any corporation controlling ING and that the amount of such capital is increased by or based upon this ING Purchase Agreement or has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital, then, upon demand by ING by the submission of the certificate described below, the Seller shall pay to ING, from time to time as specified by ING, additional amounts sufficient to compensate ING or such corporation in the light of such circumstances, to the extent that ING reasonably determines such increase in capital to be allocable to the ING Receivables Interest Purchases or the existence of this ING Purchase Agreement in respect of or on account of such events. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail such amounts submitted to the Seller by ING shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. (c) All amounts payable pursuant to this SECTION 2.07 shall be subject to the provisions of SECTION 5.01. SECTION 2.08. TAXES. (a) All payments made by the Seller under this ING Purchase Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any governmental authority having taxing authority, excluding net income taxes and franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of income taxes) imposed on ING, as a result of any present or former connection between the jurisdiction of the government or taxing authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein and ING (excluding a connection arising solely from ING having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this ING Purchase Agreement) (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions and withholdings being hereinafter called "TAXES"). If 5 any Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable by the Seller, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that, after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this SECTION 2.08), ING (as applicable) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Seller shall make such deductions, and (iii) the Seller shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law. (b) In addition, the Seller agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this ING Purchase Agreement (hereinafter "OTHER TAXES"). (c) The Seller will indemnify ING for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this SECTION 2.08) paid by ING and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. Whenever any Taxes or other Taxes are payable by the Seller, as promptly as possible thereafter, the Seller shall send to ING a certified copy of an original official receipt received by the Seller showing payment thereof. If the Seller fails to pay any Taxes or other Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to ING the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Seller shall indemnify ING for any incremental Taxes, interest or penalties that ING is legally required to pay as a result of any such failure. The agreements in this subsection shall survive the termination of this ING Purchase Agreement. (d) All amounts payable pursuant to this SECTION 2.08 shall be subject to the provisions of SECTION 5.01. SECTION 2.09. FEES. In further consideration of the ING Receivables Interest Purchases to be made hereunder, the Seller agrees, subject to SECTION 5.01, to pay to the ING all fees specified in the ING Fee Letter dated as of August 5, 2002, which fees will be due and payable at the times and in the manner set forth in such ING Fee Letter. SECTION 2.10. (a) HEDGING REQUIREMENTS. At any time on or after the Designated Termination Date, ING shall have the right to withdraw any amounts on deposit in the Reserve Account and to enter into an interest rate cap agreement (a "Hedge Agreement") with a financial institution (the "Swap Counterparty") with a short term rating of at least "A-1+" from Standard & Poor's Ratings Group (or "A-1" if such institution has a long term credit rating of "AA" or higher) and "P-1" from Moody's Investors Services Inc., and otherwise reasonably acceptable to ING. At any time, unless otherwise agreed to by ING in its sole discretion, the Hedge Agreement must have a notional balance not less than the amount of ING Capital outstanding and require such Counterparty to make payments when the One-Month Libor rate exceeds 8.0% and shall otherwise be in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent. 6 (b) RESERVE ACCOUNT. In order to fund the Hedge Agreement, ING shall establish an account (the "Reserve Account") for the benefit of the ING. On the Closing Date, ING shall cause to be deposited in the Reserve Account the amount of $262,968 from the proceeds of the initial ING Receivables Interest Purchase. The Reserve Account shall be established at the corporate trust department of a commercial bank reasonably satisfactory to ING, bearing the following designation: "ING Receivables Interest Reserve Account, for the benefit of ING Capital LLC". Until all of the ING Obligations have bee paid in full, ING shall possess all right, title and interest in all funds on deposit from time to time in the Reserve Account and in all proceeds thereof. Amounts on deposit in the Reserve Account shall be invested in any no-load money market fund rated (including money market funds managed or advised by ING) in the highest short-term rating category or equivalent highest long-term rating category by the Rating Agency. On each ING Receivables Interest Purchase Date and three Business Days prior to each Settlement Date, ING shall estimate the cost of purchasing a Hedge Agreement. If such cost multiplied by 1.25 (the "Required Reserve Amount") is greater than the amount then on deposit in the Reserve Account, ING shall deposit such difference (the "Required Deposit") from the proceeds of any ING Receivables Interest Purchase (if such date is an ING Receivables Interest Purchase Date) or from any amount available on the related Payment Date pursuant to clause (iii) of Section 2.04 hereof (in excess of any other ING Obligations due and payable on such Payment Date). Any amounts on deposit in the Reserve Account in excess of the Required Reserve Amount shall be withdrawn by ING and disbursed to the Seller. Upon the payment in full of all ING Obligations, ING shall withdraw any amounts on deposit in the Reserve Account and disburse such amounts to the Seller.

ARTICLE VI ADMINISTRATION AND COLLECTION SECTION 6.01. DESIGNATION OF SERVICER. ING acknowledges and agrees that the servicing, administering and collection of the Purchased Receivables and the other Purchased Assets shall be conducted by the Servicer designated by the Collateral Agent from time to time in accordance with SECTION 6.01 of the Triple-A Purchase Agreement. SECTION 6.02. BACK-UP SERVICER. (a) The parties hereby appoint BNY ASSET SOLUTIONS LLC, to act as Back-up Servicer with respect to the Purchased Receivables and the other Purchased Assets. (b) The Back-up Servicer, prior to becoming the successor Servicer, shall perform the following duties and obligations: (i) On or prior to the fifth Business Day prior to each related Settlement Date, the Back-up Servicer shall review the summary and settlement report worksheets contained in the Settlement Report and will verify that the correct balances have been inserted based solely on the formulas contained in the Settlement Report. The Back-up Servicer shall not be required to review or verify any other information contained in the Settlement Report. The Back-up Servicer shall notify the Servicer in writing of any disagreements with the summary and settlement worksheet in the Settlement Date based on such review not later than the 2nd Business Day preceding the related Settlement Date to the extent such Settlement Report was received on or prior to the fifth Business Day prior to the related Settlement Date and as soon as practicable if it is received after such date. (ii) If the Servicer disagrees with the notice provided under paragraph (i) above by the Back-up Servicer or if the Servicer has not reconciled such discrepancy, the Back-up Servicer agrees to confer with the Servicer to resolve such disagreement as promptly as practicable and shall settle such discrepancy with the Servicer if possible, 13 and notify Triple-A, the Collateral Agent and ING in writing of the resolution thereof. The Servicer hereby agrees to cooperate at its own expense with the Back-up Servicer in reconciling any discrepancies therein. If after the notification provided under paragraph (i) above by the Back-up Servicer and prior to the related Settlement Date, such discrepancy is not resolved, the Back-up Servicer shall promptly notify in writing Triple-A, the Collateral Agent and ING of the continued existence of such discrepancy. Following receipt of such notice by the Triple-A, the Collateral Agent and ING, the Servicer shall deliver to the Back-up Servicer no later than two Business Days after such receipt, a certificate describing the nature and amount of such discrepancy and the actions the Servicer proposes to take with respect thereto. (b) In the event that the Back-up Servicer shall become the Servicer under the Triple-A Purchase Agreement, the Back-up Servicer shall service and administer the Purchased Receivables and the other Purchased Assets and perform all of its duties thereunder in accordance with customary and usual procedures employed by institutions servicing commercial loans, which institutions are considered prudent by the Back-up Servicer, and in accordance with the Back-up Servicer's own customary practices, or if a higher standard, the highest degree of skill and attention that the Back-up Servicer exercises with respect to contracts comparable to the Contracts that the Back-up Servicer services for itself. (c) The Back-up Servicer undertakes to perform only such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement and the Triple-A Purchase Agreement if the Back-up Servicer shall become the Servicer, it being expressly understood by all parties hereto that there are no implied duties or obligations of the Back-up Servicer hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Back-up Servicer, except as expressly set forth herein, shall have no obligation to supervise, verify, monitor or administer the performance of the Servicer.

On each Settlement Date, as full compensation for its servicing activities hereunder, the Back-up Servicer shall be entitled to receive a fee (the "BACK-UP SERVICING FEE") in an amount equal to 0.04% TIMES the Outstanding Balance of the Purchased Receivables as of the last day of the prior calendar month TIMES one-twelfth, PROVIDED, THAT, if the Back-up Servicer is also the Servicer under the Triple-A Purchase Agreement, the Back-up Servicing Fee hereunder shall be deemed paid to the extent of any payment by the Seller of the "Servicing Fee" specified and defined in the Triple-A Purchase Agreement. SECTION 6.04. INDEMNITY FOR LIABILITY CLAIMS. The Seller hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Back-up Servicer (which shall include any of its directors, employees, officers and agents) against and from any and all costs, expenses, losses, damages, claims and liabilities arising out of or resulting from the Triple-A Purchase Agreement 14 or this ING Purchase Agreement. The Back-up Servicer shall not be entitled to any indemnification for any costs, expenses, losses, damages, claims and liabilities arising out of or resulting from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Back-up Servicer or its directors, employees, officers or agents.
