AGREEMENT TO PURCHASE, SELL AND CONTRIBUTE

SECTION 2.1          Purchase, Sale and Contribution. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, on the date hereof (the “Initial Transfer Date”), Seller hereby sells or contributes, as applicable, to Buyer, and Buyer hereby purchases or acquires from Seller all of Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Receivables and the Related Security, in each case whether now owned or existing, hereafter arising, acquired or originated, or in which Seller now or hereinafter has any rights, and wherever so located.

SECTION 2.2          Timing of Purchases.   All of the Receivables existing at the opening of Seller’s business on the Initial Transfer Date are hereby sold or contributed, as applicable, to Buyer on such date in accordance with the terms hereof. On and after the Initial Transfer Date until the Automatic Termination Date, each Receivable shall be sold or contributed, as applicable, to Buyer immediately (and without further action by any Person) upon the creation, origination or acquisition of such Receivable by Seller. The Related Security with respect to each Receivable shall be sold or contributed, as applicable, at the same time as such Receivable, whether such Related Security exists at such time or arise, are created, acquired or are originated thereafter. Seller hereby relinquishes all title and control over each such Receivable upon the transfer of such Receivable to Buyer hereunder.

SECTION 2.3          Purchase Price.  (a)  The purchase price for the Receivables and the Related Security shall equal the Outstanding Balance of the Receivables and the fair market value of the Related Security plus any premium or minus any discount agreed to between Seller and Buyer at the time of purchase or acquisition (the “Purchase Price”).

(b)    Buyer shall pay the Purchase Price due on any day in cash; provided, however, to the extent that Buyer does not have funds available to pay such amount of Purchase Price due on any day in cash in full, Seller and Buyer shall agree that the Receivables allocable to the amount of such insufficiency shall be deemed to have been transferred by Seller to Buyer as a capital contribution, in return for an increase in the value of the equity interest in Buyer held by Seller.

(c)    In connection with each such transfer, Buyer and Seller shall record on or prior to the Monthly Reporting Date immediately following such transfer, and make such record available to the Administrative Agent upon its reasonable request, the portion, if any, of the Purchase Price paid pursuant to clause (b) above, and the portion, if any, treated as a capital contribution for the related calendar month.

SECTION 2.4          No Recourse or Assumption of Obligations; Sale and Intent of the Parties.  (a)   Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, the purchase and sale or contribution, as applicable, of Receivables and Related Security under this Agreement shall be without recourse to Seller. Seller and Buyer intend the transactions hereunder to constitute absolute and irrevocable true sales and/or valid contributions, as applicable, of Receivables and the Related Security by Seller to Buyer, providing Buyer with the full risks and benefits of ownership of the Receivables and Related Security (such that the Receivables and the Related Security would not be property of Seller’s estate in the event of Seller’s bankruptcy).

(b)    In the event Seller becomes obligated under the Transaction Documents or any other agreement to pay any amount to any account bank or any other party as a result of any Obligor’s failure to make payments on the Receivables or Related Security, as a result of such Obligor’s check or other payment failing to clear as a result of insufficient funds or otherwise due to the credit risk of such Obligor (other than as a result of any breaches of representations or warranties made by Seller in connection with the sale of such Receivables or Related Security hereunder), Buyer shall be obligated to promptly reimburse any such amounts to Seller. Any such amounts may, at the election of Seller, be included in the Purchase Price payable by Buyer or deemed to be a capital contribution made by Seller to Buyer pursuant to Section 2.3.

(c)    None of Buyer, the Administrative Agent, the Servicer (in its capacity as such) or the Lenders have any obligation or liability to any Obligor or other customer or client of Seller or any Originator (including any obligation to perform any of the obligations of Seller or any Originator under any Receivables or Related Security).

In the event Buyer receives or has received any payments in respect of any portion of a Receivable reconveyed to Seller hereunder, Buyer shall promptly remit such payments to Seller for distribution to the related Originator. Such amounts may be set off against any amounts owed by Seller to Buyer under this Section 3.2(b) and until so remitted or set off, shall be deemed held in trust for Seller and the related Originator.

SECTION 3.3          Actions Evidencing Purchases.  (a)  On or prior to the Initial Transfer Date, Seller shall mark its master data processing records evidencing Receivables and related Contracts with a legend, acceptable to Buyer and the Administrative Agent, evidencing that the Receivables have been transferred in accordance with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and neither Seller nor the Servicer shall change or remove such notation without the consent of Buyer and the Administrative Agent. In addition, Seller agrees that from time to time, at its expense, it will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action that Buyer or its assigns may request in order to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the purchases, sales and contributions hereunder, or to enable Buyer or its assigns to exercise or enforce any of their respective rights with respect to the Receivables and the Related Security conveyed hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller will upon the request of Buyer or its assigns: (i) authorize and file such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto or assignments thereof, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or appropriate; and (ii) upon and after the occurrence of an Amortization Event, mark conspicuously each Contract evidencing each Receivable conveyed by it hereunder with a legend, acceptable to Buyer and the Administrative Agent, evidencing that the related Receivables have been transferred in accordance with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

9

(j)    Eligible Receivables.  Each Receivable conveyed to Buyer identified by Seller as an “Eligible Receivable” as of the date of its conveyance was an Eligible Receivable as of such date of conveyance.

(k)    Enforceability of Contracts.    Each Contract with respect to each Eligible Receivable is effective to create, and has created, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the related Obligor to pay the Outstanding Balance of the Eligible Receivable created thereunder and any accrued interest thereon (exclusive of any reduction to the Outstanding Balance of a Receivable pursuant to Section 3.2(a)(i)), enforceable against the Obligor in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).

(l)    Payments to Originators.    With respect to each Receivable that Seller has acquired from any other Originator, Seller has given reasonably equivalent value to such Originator in consideration therefor and such transfer was not made for or on account of an antecedent debt.

Any projections furnished by any Authorized Officer of Seller or any Originator to Buyer, the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders for purposes of or in connection with this Agreement and the Credit and Security Agreement were prepared in good faith based upon estimates and assumptions stated therein which, at the time of preparation, were believed by Seller to be reasonable (it being understood that such projections are subject to uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the control of Seller and the Originators, that no assurances can be given that such projections will be realized, and that actual results may differ in a material manner from such projections).

(n)    Perfection.  It is the intention of the parties to this Agreement that the conveyance of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Receivables and the Related Security conveyed to Buyer hereunder and all the proceeds of all of the foregoing to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute an absolute and irrevocable purchase and sale and not a loan or pledge. If, notwithstanding the foregoing and the other

10

provisions hereof, the conveyance of the Receivables and the Related Security to Buyer is characterized by any third party as a loan or pledge, then assuming the filing of the financing statements approved by Seller on the date hereof, this Agreement, together with the filing of such financing statements, is effective to create in favor of Buyer and its assigns a valid and perfected first priority security interest in each Receivable existing or hereafter arising and in all other Collateral, free and clear of any Adverse Claim, except as created by the Transaction Documents and except for inchoate tax liens as to which no notice of tax lien has been filed.

(k)    Accounting.  Seller will treat its transfer of Receivables to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement as an absolute conveyance and true sale or contribution on its books and records.

(l)    Performance and Enforcement of the Originator Sale Agreement.  Seller shall, and shall require each Originator to, perform its respective obligations and undertakings under and pursuant to the Originator Sale Agreement. Seller will purchase Receivables under the Originator Sale Agreement in strict compliance with the terms thereof and will vigorously enforce the rights and remedies accorded to it as purchaser under the Originator Sale Agreement.

(c)    Modifications to Contracts and Credit and Collection Policy.   Make, or permit any Originator to make, any change to any Credit and Collection Policy that would reasonably be expected to decrease the credit quality of any newly created Receivables or materially adversely affect the collectability of the Receivables. Except as provided in Section 6.2(d) of the Credit and Security Agreement, Seller shall not, nor shall it permit any Originator to, extend, amend or otherwise modify the terms of any Receivable or any terms of any Contract related to such Receivable in any material respect other than in accordance with the applicable Credit and Collection Policy.

Without limiting the foregoing, Seller shall indemnify, subject to the express limitations set forth in this Section 7.1, and hold harmless each Seller Indemnified Party for any and all Seller Indemnified Amounts arising out of, relating to, or in connection with:

(i)    any representation or warranty made by or on behalf of Seller or any Originator under or in connection with this Agreement, any Transaction Document or any other information or report delivered by Seller or any Originator pursuant to the Transaction Documents, which shall have been false or incorrect in any material respect when made or deemed made;

16

(ii)    the failure by Seller or any Originator to comply with any applicable law, rule or regulation related to any Receivable or Contract related thereto, or the noncompliance of any Receivable or any Contract related thereto with any such applicable law, rule or regulation or any failure of Seller or any Originator to keep or perform any of its obligations, express or implied, with respect to the Contract relating to any Receivable;

(iii)   the failure of Seller to vest and maintain vested in Buyer, a perfected ownership or security interest in the Receivables and the other property conveyed pursuant hereto, free and clear of any Adverse Claim;

(v)    any dispute, claim, offset or defense (other than discharge in bankruptcy of the Obligor or financial inability of the Obligor to pay) of the Obligor to the payment of any Receivable (including, without limitation, a defense based on such Receivable or the related Contract not being a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Obligor enforceable against it in accordance with its terms), or any other claim resulting from the goods or services creating such Receivable or the furnishing or failure to furnish such goods or services or other similar claim or defense not arising from the financial inability of any Obligor to pay undisputed indebtedness;

(vi)    any failure of Seller or any Originator to perform its duties or obligations in accordance with the provisions of any Transaction Document to which it is a party;

(vii)   any environmental liability claim, products liability claim or personal injury or property damage suit or other similar or related claim or action of whatever sort, arising out of or in connection with any Receivable or any related Contract or any other suit, claim or action of whatever sort relating to any obligations of Seller or any Originator under the Transaction Documents;

17

(viii)   any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding brought or threatened against the Seller Indemnified Party relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any actual or proposed use of proceeds of the funds obtained by Seller hereunder;

(ix)     any inability to litigate any claim against any Obligor in respect of any Receivable as a result of such Obligor being immune from civil and commercial law and suit on the grounds of sovereignty or otherwise from any legal action, suit or proceeding;

(x)      any attempt by any Person (other than a Seller Indemnified Party) to void the transfers contemplated hereby under statutory provisions or common law or equitable action (except as created by the Transaction Documents); or

(b)    Contest of Tax Claim; After-Tax Basis.  If any Seller Indemnified Party shall have notice of any attempt to impose or collect any Tax or governmental fee or charge for which indemnification will be sought from Seller under this Article VII, such Seller Indemnified Party shall give prompt and timely notice of such attempt to Seller, and Seller shall have the right, at its sole expense, to participate in any proceedings resisting or objecting to the imposition or collection of any such Tax, governmental fee or charge. Indemnification in respect of such Tax, governmental fee or charge shall be in an amount necessary to make such Seller Indemnified Party whole after taking into account any tax consequences to such Seller Indemnified Party of the payment of any such Tax, governmental fee or change (other than any portion thereof constituting Excluded Taxes for which it would not in the first instance be entitled to indemnification hereunder) and the receipt of the indemnity provided hereunder or of any refund of any such Tax previously indemnified hereunder, including the effect of such Tax or refund on the amount of Tax measured by net income or profits which is or was payable by such Seller Indemnified Party.

SECTION 7.2          Contribution.  If for any reason the indemnification provided above in this Article VII is unavailable to a Seller Indemnified Party or is insufficient to hold a Seller Indemnified Party harmless, then Seller shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Seller Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by such Seller Indemnified Party on the one hand and Seller on the other hand but also the relative fault of such Seller Indemnified Party as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.
