SECTION 6.4 Substantive Consolidation. Each Originator hereby acknowledges that this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents are being entered into in reliance upon the Company's identity as a legal entity separate from such Originator and its Affiliates. Therefore, from and after the date hereof, each Originator shall take all reasonable steps necessary to make it apparent to third Persons that the Company is an entity with assets and liabilities distinct from those of such Originator and any other Person, and is not a division or department of such Originator, its Affiliates or any other Person.

The provisions of this Section 6.4 shall survive any termination of this Agreement. ARTICLE VII ADDITIONAL RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS IN RESPECT OF RECEIVABLES SECTION 7.1 Rights of the Company. Each Originator hereby authorizes the Company, the Servicer or their respective designees to take any and all steps in such Originator's name necessary or desirable, in their respective determination, to collect all amounts due under any and all Receivables, including, without limitation, indorsing the name of such Originator on checks 17 and other instruments representing Collections and enforcing such Receivables and the provisions of the related Contracts that concern payment and/or enforcement of rights to payment. SECTION 7.2 Responsibilities of the Originators. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding: (a) Collection Procedures. Each Originator agrees to direct its respective Obligors to make payments of Receivables directly to a post office box related to the relevant Lock-Box Account at a Lock-Box Bank. Each Originator further agrees to transfer any Collections that it receives directly to the Servicer (for the Company's account) within one (1) Business Day of receipt thereof, and agrees that all such Collections shall be deemed to be received in trust for the Company and shall be maintained and segregated separate and apart from all other funds and monies of Originator until transfer of such Collections to the Servicer. (b) Each Originator shall perform its obligations hereunder, and the exercise by the Company or its designee of its rights hereunder shall not relieve such Originator from such obligations. (c) None of the Company, the Servicer or the Administrator shall have any obligation or liability to any Obligor or any other third Person with respect to any Receivables, Contracts related thereto or any other related agreements, nor shall the Company, the Servicer, the Purchasers, the Purchaser Agents or the Administrator be obligated to perform any of the obligations of such Originator thereunder. (d) Each Originator hereby grants to the Servicer an irrevocable power of attorney, with full power of substitution, coupled with an interest, to take in the name of such Originator all steps necessary or advisable to endorse, negotiate or otherwise realize on any writing or other right of any kind held or transmitted by such Originator or transmitted or received by the Company (whether or not from such Originator) in connection with any Receivable. SECTION 7.3 Further Action Evidencing Purchases. Each Originator 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 the Servicer may reasonably request in order to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the Receivables and Related Rights purchased or contributed by the Company hereunder, or to enable the Company to exercise or enforce any of its rights hereunder or under any other Transaction Document. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon the request of the Servicer, such Originator will: (a) execute 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 (b) mark the master data processing records that evidence or list (i) such Receivables and (ii) related Contracts with the legend set forth in Section 4.1(j). 18 Each Originator hereby authorizes the Company or its designee to file one or more financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto and assignments thereof, relative to all or any of the Receivables and Related Rights now existing or hereafter generated by Originator. If any Originator fails to perform any of its agreements or obligations under this Agreement, the Company or its designee may (but shall not be required to) itself perform, or cause the performance of, such agreement or obligation, and the expenses of the Company or its designee incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by Originator as provided in Section 9.1. SECTION 7.4 Application of Collections. Any payment by an Obligor in respect of any indebtedness owed by it to any Originator shall, except as otherwise specified by such Obligor or required by applicable law and unless otherwise instructed by the Servicer (with the prior written consent of the Administrator) or the Administrator, be applied as a Collection of any Receivable or Receivables of such Obligor to the extent of any amounts then due and payable thereunder before being applied to any other indebtedness of such Obligor.

Each of the following events or occurrences described in this Section 8.1 shall constitute a "Purchase and Sale Termination Event": (a) A Termination Event (as defined in the Receivables Purchase Agreement) shall have occurred and, in the case of a Termination Event (other than one described in paragraph (f) of Exhibit V of the Receivables Purchase Agreement), the Administrator, shall have declared the Facility Termination Date to have occurred; or (b) Any Originator shall fail to make any payment or deposit to be made by it hereunder when due and such failure shall remain unremedied for one (1) Business Day; or (c) Any representation or warranty made or deemed to be made by any Originator (or any of its officers) under or in connection with this Agreement, any other Transaction Documents, or any other information or report delivered pursuant hereto or thereto shall prove to have been false or incorrect in any material respect when made or deemed made; provided, however, if the violation of this paragraph (c) by any Originator may be cured without any potential or actual detriment to the Company, the applicable Originator shall have 15 Business Days from the earlier of (i) such Originator's actual knowledge of such failure and (ii) notice to such Originator of such failure to so cure any such violation before a Purchase and Sale Termination Event shall occur so long as such Originator is diligently attempting to effect such cure; or (d) Any Originator shall fail to perform or observe any other term, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement on its part to be performed or observed and such failure shall remain unremedied for 15 Business Days after written notice thereof shall have been given by the Servicer to such Originator. 19 SECTION 8.2 Remedies. (a) Optional Termination. Upon the occurrence of a Purchase and Sale Termination Event, the Company (and not the Servicer) shall have the option, by notice to the Originators (with a copy to the Administrator), to declare the Purchase and Sale Termination Date. (b) Remedies Cumulative. Upon any termination of the Purchase Facility pursuant to Section 8.2(a), the Company shall have, in addition to all other rights and remedies under this Agreement, all other rights and remedies provided under the UCC of each applicable jurisdiction and other applicable laws, which rights shall be cumulative. ARTICLE IX INDEMNIFICATION SECTION 9.1 Indemnities by the Originators. Without limiting any other rights which the Company may have hereunder or under applicable law, each Originator, severally and for itself alone hereby agrees to indemnify the Company and each of its officers, directors, employees and agents (each of the foregoing Persons being individually called a "Purchase and Sale Indemnified Party"), forthwith on demand, from and against any and all damages, losses, claims, judgments, liabilities and related costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements (all of the foregoing being collectively called "Purchase and Sale Indemnified Amounts") awarded against or incurred by any of them arising out of or as a result of the failure of such Originator to perform its obligations under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or arising out of the claims asserted against a Purchase and Sale Indemnified Party relating to the transactions contemplated herein or therein or the use of proceeds thereof or therefrom, excluding, however, (i) Purchase and Sale Indemnified Amounts to the extent resulting from gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Purchase and Sale Indemnified Party, (ii) any indemnification which has the effect of recourse for non-payment of the Receivables to any indemnitor (except as otherwise specifically provided under this Section 9.1) and (iii) any tax based upon or measured by net income property, or gross receipts. Without limiting but subject to the foregoing, each Originator, severally for itself alone, shall indemnify each Purchase and Sale Indemnified Party for Purchase and Sale Indemnified Amounts relating to or resulting from: (a) the transfer by such Originator of an interest in any Receivable to any Person other than the Company; (b) the breach of any representation or warranty made by such Originator (or any of its officers) under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or any information or report delivered by Originator pursuant hereto or thereto, which shall have been false or incorrect when made or deemed made; (c) the failure by such Originator to comply with any applicable law, rule or regulation with respect to any Receivable generated by such Originator or the related Contract, or the nonconformity of any Receivable generated by such Originator or the related Contract with any such applicable law, rule or regulation; 20 (d) the failure to vest and maintain vested in the Company an ownership interest in the Receivables generated by such Originator free and clear of any Adverse Claim, other than an Adverse Claim arising solely as a result of an act of the Company, the Purchaser or the Administrator whether existing at the time of the purchase or contribution of such Receivables or at any time thereafter; (e) the failure to file, or any delay in filing, financing statements or other similar instruments or documents under the UCC of any applicable jurisdiction or other applicable laws with respect to any Receivables or purported Receivables generated by such Originator, whether at the time of any purchase or contribution or at any subsequent time; (f) any dispute, claim, offset or defense (other than discharge in bankruptcy) of the Obligor to the payment of any Receivable or purported Receivable generated by such Originator (including, without limitation, a defense based on such Receivable's or the related Contract's 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 services related to any such Receivable or the furnishing of or failure to furnish such services; (g) any product liability claim arising out of or in connection with services that are the subject of any Receivable generated by such Originator; and (h) any tax or governmental fee or charge (other than any tax excluded pursuant to clause (iii) in the proviso to the preceding sentence), all interest and penalties thereon or with respect thereto, and all out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel in defending against the same, which may arise by reason of the purchase or ownership of the Receivables generated by such Originator or any Related Security connected with any such Receivables. If for any reason the indemnification provided above in this Section 9.1 is unavailable to a Purchase and Sale Indemnified Party or is insufficient to hold such Purchase and Sale Indemnified Party harmless, then each of the Originators, severally and for itself, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Purchase and Sale Indemnified Party to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law. ARTICLE X MISCELLANEOUS SECTION 10.1 Amendments, etc. (a) The provisions of this Agreement may from time to time be amended, modified or waived, if such amendment, modification or waiver is in writing and executed by the Company and each Originator (with the prior written consent of the Administrator).

If the effective rate of interest which would otherwise by payable under this Company Note would exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, or if the holder of this Company Note shall receive any unearned interest or shall receive monies that are deemed to constitute interest which would increase the effective rate of interest payable by the Company under this Company Note to a rate in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then (i) the amount of interest which would otherwise by payable by the Company under this Company Note shall be reduced to the amount allowed by applicable law, and (ii) any unearned interest paid by the Company or any interest paid by the Company in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate shall be refunded to the Company. Without limitation of the foregoing, all calculations of the rate of interest contracted for, charged or received by the Originator under this Company Note that are made for the purpose of determining whether such rate exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to the Originator (such Highest Lawful Rate being herein called the "Originator's Maximum Permissible Rate") shall be made, to the extent permitted by usury laws applicable to the Originator (now or hereafter enacted), by amortizing, prorating and spreading in equal parts during the actual period during which any amount has been outstanding hereunder all interest at any time contracted for, charged or received by the Originator in connection herewith. If at any time and from time to time (i) the amount of interest payable to the Originator on any date shall be computed at the Originator's Maximum Permissible Rate pursuant to the provisions of the foregoing sentence and (ii) in respect of any subsequent interest computation period the amount of interest otherwise payable to the Originator would be less than the amount of interest payable to the Originator computed at the Originator's Maximum Permissible Rate, then the amount of interest payable to the Originator in respect of such subsequent interest computation period shall continue to be computed at the Originator's Maximum Permissible Rate until the total amount of interest payable to the Originator shall equal the total amount of interest which would have been payable to the Originator if the total amount of interest had been computed without giving effect to the provisions of the foregoing sentence.
