ARTICLE II

AMOUNT AND TERMS OF THE PURCHASES

SECTION 2.01. Receivables Purchase Facility. The Purchasers shall, subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, make purchases of Receivables (“Receivables Purchases”) from time to time on any Settlement Date (except that the initial Receivables Purchase may be on a date other than a Settlement Date) during the period from the date the conditions precedent in Section 3.01 are satisfied to the Termination Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, at any time, two or more of the individuals who held the positions of Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and President of the Servicer as of April 30, 1998 no longer remain actively involved in the day-to-day management of the Servicer, then the Purchasers are no longer required to, but each Purchaser may, in its sole discretion, make Receivables Purchases. Each Receivables Purchase shall constitute an assignment and sale by the Seller, and a purchase and acquisition by the Purchasers of Purchased Assets, including, without limitation, Designated Receivables identified as Eligible Receivables by the Seller, and Related Security and Collections with respect thereto. Under no circumstances shall any Purchaser make any Receivables Purchase if, after giving effect to such Receivables Purchase, (x) the aggregate outstanding Capital hereunder would exceed the lesser of (i) the Facility Limit and (ii) the Capital Limit or (y) the aggregate outstanding Capital funded by such Purchaser’s Purchaser Group would exceed its Purchaser Limit. Under no circumstances shall Triple-A make any Receivables Purchase, if after giving effect to such Receivables Purchase, the portion of the aggregate outstanding Capital allocable to Triple-A hereunder would exceed the sum, on such Receivables Purchase Date, of (i) the net proceeds from the sale of Commercial Paper plus (ii) the proceeds of Advances. The Capital Limit in effect on any date shall be determined by reference to the most recent Settlement Report delivered by the Seller to the Purchasers in accordance with Section 5.02(f) hereof (i) as adjusted on the most recent Settlement Date to reflect additional Eligible Receivables sold on such Settlement Date since the delivery of such Settlement Report and (ii) as adjusted on any other date of determination to eliminate from the Discounted Eligible Receivables Balance any Receivables which were Eligible Receivables as of the dates reflected in the Settlement Report but which no longer satisfy the criteria for Eligible Receivables. It is the intention of the parties hereto that each Receivables Purchase to be made hereunder shall constitute a sale of accounts, payment intangibles, promissory notes or chattel paper, as such terms are used in Article 9 of the UCC. If at any time a court characterizes the transactions hereunder as loans by the Purchasers (together with their respective assignees, participants and successors) to the Seller, then the Seller hereby pledges, grants a security interest in and assigns to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Purchasers and ING (to the extent of ING’s rights set forth under the ING Purchase Agreement) and their respective successors and assignees, all of its right and title to and interest in the Purchased Assets, including the Purchased Receivables and the Related Security, Collections and Equipment related thereto, as security for such loans and for the payment and performance of all obligations of the Seller hereunder, and the Collateral Agent acknowledges that it is holding on behalf of, and for the benefit of, the Purchasers and their respective successors, participants and assignees (including ING), all of such right and title to and interest in the Purchased Assets, including the Purchased Receivables and the Related Security, Collections and Equipment related thereto.

Notwithstanding any other provisions herein to the contrary, the Purchasers shall have no obligation to purchase any interest, right or title related to ING Receivables Interests if ING does not make the corresponding purchase under the ING Purchase Agreement and the Seller shall have no claim to any Purchaser for such Purchaser’s failure to purchase any ING Receivables Interest.

SECTION 2.02. Making Purchases from the Seller.

(a) Sale Notice. Whenever the Seller wishes to sell Receivables hereunder, it shall deliver to each Managing Agent a notice (“Sale Notice”) in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto no later than 10:00 A.M. (New York City time) at least one (1) Business Days prior to the proposed Receivables Purchase Date. Each Sale Notice shall be by telephone, telex, telecopy, cable or other facsimile transmission (in the case of any such Sale Notice by telephone, confirmed immediately in writing) and shall specify therein (i) the aggregate Capital to be funded in connection with such Receivables Purchase, (ii) the amount of such Capital to be funded by each Purchaser in connection with such Receivables Purchase; provided, that the aggregate Capital described in clause (i) for each Receivables Purchase shall be allocated ratably among the Purchasers making such Receivables Purchase in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares, (iii) the date of such Receivables Purchase and (iv) for any Conduit Purchaser, the duration of the initial Fixed Period(s) for the Capital to be funded by such Conduit Purchaser. In addition to the foregoing, the Seller shall indicate which Receivables subject to such Sale Notice are Designated Receivables and which Receivables subject to such Sale Notice are Non-Designated Receivables.

(b) Amount of Purchased Assets; Deferred Purchase Price. The consideration for each Receivables Purchase shall consist of the Capital funded under this Receivables Purchase Agreement, the ING Capital, if any, funded pursuant to the ING Purchase Agreement and the obligation of the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Purchasers to remit to the Seller the Deferred Purchase Price. The amount of the Deferred Purchase Price shall be initially computed as of the opening of business of the Collateral Agent on the date of the initial Receivables Purchase hereunder. Thereafter, until the Termination Date, the amount of the Deferred Purchase Price shall be automatically recomputed as of the close of business of the Collateral Agent on each day on which the aggregate Capital hereunder is increased or decreased, on which the ING Capital is increased or decreased under the ING Purchase Agreement or on which any funds are remitted to the Seller in satisfaction thereof under clause (x) of Section 6.11(b) or remitted to ING in satisfaction thereof under clause (ii) of Section 2.04 of the ING Purchase Agreement. From and after the Termination Date until the Combined Collection Date, the Deferred Purchase Price shall be automatically recomputed on each Business Day to reflect any reductions in the amount hereof on account of accrued Yield, Carrying Costs, or other amounts owed by (or paid on behalf of) the Seller under this Receivables Purchase Agreement or any ING Obligations under the ING Purchase Agreement. The Purchased Assets shall become zero at such time as (i) the Purchasers shall have recovered the aggregate outstanding Capital and shall have received all other amounts payable to the Purchasers and the Managing Agents pursuant to this Receivables Purchase Agreement and the applicable Fee Letters, (ii) ING shall have recovered the aggregate outstanding ING Capital and shall have received all other amounts payable to ING pursuant to the ING Purchase Agreement and the ING Fee Letter, and (iii) the Seller has received payment of the Deferred Purchase Price. The Purchased Assets and the

Deferred Purchase Price shall each remain constant from the time as of which any such computation or recomputation is made until the time as of which the next such recomputation, if any, shall be made. The Collateral Agent on behalf of the Purchasers shall, in consideration of the sale of the Purchased Assets, from and after the Combined Collection Date, reassign to the Seller all of the Purchasers’ and ING’s right, title and interest in and to the Purchased Assets in full satisfaction of the Deferred Purchase Price. It is expressly understood and agreed that the Deferred Purchase Price shall be payable solely through Collections and other proceeds of the Purchased Assets and that none of the Purchasers, the Managing Agents, ING, the Collateral Agent or any Liquidity Bank shall have any personal liability for the payment of the Deferred Purchase Price.

(c) Selection of Fixed Periods.

(i) All Capital which is not allocated to a CP Tranche shall be allocated to a Fixed Period of one month and Yield thereon shall be calculated by reference to the Eurodollar Rate; provided, however, that (x) if it shall become unlawful for any Purchaser or Liquidity Bank to obtain funds in the interbank eurodollar market in order to make, fund or maintain any investment in Capital hereunder, or (y) there shall not be time prior to the commencement of the applicable Fixed Period to determine a Eurodollar Rate or (z) the Seller, with the consent of the Collateral Agent and the applicable Managing Agent, requests a Fixed Period of less than one month, then such Capital shall be allocated to a Fixed Period of from one to thirty days and Yield thereon shall accrue at the Base Rate. In the event that a circumstance described in clause (x) above makes it unlawful for any Purchaser or Liquidity Bank to maintain any investment in Capital hereunder through the interbank eurodollar market, upon five Business Days’ written notice to the Seller from the Managing Agent for the affected Purchaser, the Managing Agent may terminate the Fixed Periods for all Eurodollar Rate Tranches of such Purchaser then outstanding and convert such Eurodollar Rate Tranches into Base Rate Tranches. The term of any Fixed Period described in this paragraph shall, except in the case of a Fixed Period requested by the Seller pursuant to clause (z) above, be selected by the applicable Purchaser’s Managing Agent with the consent of the Collateral Agent.

(ii) With respect to Capital to be allocated to a CP Tranche, each Managing Agent shall, promptly upon receiving each Sale Notice, following its review of the Seller’s proposal, to the extent that the Seller has not done so in such Sale Notice, select Fixed Periods for all Capital to be funded by the Purchasers in such Managing Agent’s Purchaser Group so that all outstanding Capital is at all times allocated to a Fixed Period(s) with respect to such Capital (or any such non-allocated portion thereof) (it being understood that if the Seller does not propose a specific Fixed Period for all Capital to be funded on any Receivables Purchase Date, the applicable Managing Agents, subject to the provisions of this Section 2.02(c), shall select such Fixed Period(s) with respect to such Capital (or any such non-allocated portion thereof) in their discretion).

(iii) The initial Fixed Period for any Capital shall be specified in the Sale Notice described in subsection (a) hereof. Not later than 10:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the Business Day prior to the last day of each Fixed Period for any Capital allocated to such Fixed Period, the Seller shall request new Fixed Periods for such

Capital. Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.02(c) and Section 2.07, each Managing Agent shall, so long as any Capital related to any Receivables Purchase is outstanding, on the first day of each successive Fixed Period for such Capital, notify the Collateral Agent and the Seller of the duration of the relevant Fixed Period and the Yield which will be applicable to the Capital during such Fixed Period. Any Fixed Period for any CP Tranches or Base Rate Tranches which Fixed Period commences before the Termination Date and would otherwise end on a date occurring after the Termination Date shall end on the Termination Date and the duration of any Fixed Period that commences on or after the Termination Date shall be of such duration as shall be selected by the applicable Managing Agent. In addition, if a CP Disruption shall have occurred and be continuing, any affected Conduit Purchaser or the applicable Managing Agent on its behalf, may, upon notice to the Originator and the Seller, terminate any Fixed Period then in effect for any CP Tranche. All outstanding Capital shall be assigned a Fixed Period at all times, which Fixed Periods will be limited as set forth above and in the definition thereof.

(d) Funding. Each Purchaser shall, before 3:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the proposed Receivables Purchase Date of each Receivables Purchase, subject to the applicable conditions set forth in Article IV, make a wire transfer of funds in the amount of such Purchaser’s Pro Rata Share of the purchase price for such Receivables Purchase to the Seller in accordance with the Seller’s written wire transfer instructions. ING shall, if applicable, fund the purchase of its interest in any Receivables Purchase pursuant to the terms of the ING Purchase Agreement.

(e) ING Receivables Interests. The parties hereby acknowledge that any ING Receivables Interest shall be transferred to ING pursuant to the terms of the ING Purchase Agreement without any representation or warranty of any kind from any Purchaser. Any ING Capital received pursuant to the ING Purchase Agreement shall be paid to the Seller and applied in reduction of the Deferred Purchase Price. If ING fails to make the payment of any ING Receivables Interest in accordance with the terms of the ING Purchase Agreement, such ING Receivables Interest shall be deemed never to have been sold to the Purchasers.

SECTION 2.03. Reduction of Facility Limit. The Seller shall have the right, at any time upon at least three (3) Business Days’ notice to the Purchasers, to terminate in whole or reduce in part the unused portion of the Facility Limit in a minimum amount of $10,000,000 and increments of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; provided, that in no event shall the Facility Limit be reduced to less than the amount of Capital then outstanding. Each such termination shall ratably reduce the Purchaser Limit of the Purchasers in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares. In addition, any such termination shall be without premium or penalty of any kind, except for any indemnification which may be owed in connection with such termination pursuant to Section 2.06 and Section 8.01.

SECTION 2.04. Settlement Procedures.

(a) Any Collections of Purchased Receivables received (or deemed to have been received, including without limitation any Collections deemed to have been received pursuant to Section 2.04(d)) by the Seller shall be remitted directly to the Collateral Agent on

behalf of the Purchasers by depositing such Collections in a Lock-Box Account within one Business Day of Seller’s receipt (or deemed receipt) thereof. On each Payment Date, the Seller shall direct the Collateral Agent to withdraw from the Collection Account, and pay on behalf of the Seller to each Purchaser (i) Yield on all outstanding Capital the Fixed Period for which ends on such date plus (ii) to each Conduit Purchaser, the CP Dealer Fees, if any, on any Commercial Paper maturing on such date and raised to fund such Capital. On each Settlement Date, the Seller shall pay to ING, the ING Yield, if any.

(b) On each Settlement Date to occur prior to the Designated Termination Date, the Seller shall either:

(i) if each Managing Agent has consented thereto, sell additional Receivables hereunder in accordance with the procedures and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 2.01 such that, immediately following such Receivables Purchase, the Capital Limit equals or exceeds outstanding Capital and the ING Capital Limit equals or exceeds the outstanding ING Capital, in which event the Collateral Agent shall, subject to the order of priority set forth in Section 6.11(b), remit the Collections set aside to the Seller in consideration of the purchase price for such Receivables Purchase; or

(ii) if each Managing Agent has not consented to such additional purchase, out of the Collections set aside, subject to the order of priority set forth in Section 6.11(b), direct the Collateral Agent to apply an amount of such Collections toward the reduction of outstanding Capital, or ING Capital, as applicable, such that, following the application of such Collections to outstanding Capital or ING Capital, the Capital Limit equals or exceeds the outstanding Capital and the ING Capital Limit equals or exceeds the outstanding ING Capital. Each reduction of Capital pursuant to this Section 2.04(b)(ii) shall be made ratably to the Purchasers in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares, and each payment of the above-described amount of Capital to any Purchaser shall be accompanied by payment of an amount of such Collections equal to Yield accrued or to accrue in respect of such amount of Capital through the end of the Fixed Period(s) to which such Capital is allocated (without duplication, however, of any amounts paid to such Purchaser pursuant to Section 6.11(b)(ii)).

(c) [Reserved]

(d) If on any day the Outstanding Balance of any Purchased Receivable is either (i) reduced or adjusted as a result of any defective, rejected, returned, repossessed or foreclosed merchandise, any defective or rejected services, any cash discount or any other adjustment made or performed by the Seller or any other Person (including, without limitation, those described in the definition of “Dilution Factors”), or (ii) reduced or canceled as a result of a setoff in respect of any claim by the Obligor thereof against the Seller or any other Person (whether such claim arises out of the same or a related transaction or an unrelated transaction), the Seller shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection of such Purchased Receivable in the amount of such reduction, cancellation or adjustment. If on any day any of the representations or warranties in Section 4.01(g) is no longer true with respect to a Purchased Receivable or if the Seller has breached its obligations under Section 5.01(j), then the Seller shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection of such Purchased Receivable: (x) if such

representation, warranty or covenant relates to the non-existence of any Adverse Claims, the Seller shall be deemed to have received a Collection of such Purchased Receivable in the dollar amount of the Adverse Claims attaching thereto and (y) if such representation or warranty relates to the validity or perfection of the transfer of such Purchased Receivable under this Receivables Purchase Agreement or the perfection of the Collateral Agent’s security interest in any Equipment as against the Obligor thereunder, then the Seller shall be deemed to have received a Collection of such Purchased Receivable in an amount equal to the Outstanding Balance thereof. To the extent that any such deemed Collection reduces the Outstanding Balance of such Purchased Receivable to zero, then, upon the Seller’s payment to the Collateral Agent of such deemed Collection, the Collateral Agent shall re-assign to the Seller all of its right, title and interest in and to the relevant Purchased Receivable, the Contract under which such Purchased Receivable arose and the Related Security relating thereto.

(e) Although the Originator, the Seller and the Purchasers agree that the Originator shall have no right to terminate, reject or not assume a Contract, if the Originator in its capacity as Servicer (or its successor in interest, including a trustee appointed under the Bankruptcy Code) terminates, rejects or does not assume a Contract, in whole or in part, prior to the expiration of the original term of such Contract, whether such rejection, termination or non-assumption is made pursuant to an equitable cause, statute, regulation, judicial proceeding or other applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code), then (i) the Seller shall be deemed to have received Collections with respect to Purchased Receivables arising under such Contract in an amount equal to (A) in the event of a prepayment or termination consented to by the Originator at the Obligor’s request, the excess, if any, of the Termination Amount over all amounts paid by the Obligor on account of such termination or (B) in the event of any other rejection or non-assumption the amount of the Outstanding Balance thereof that has not been, or may not be paid as a result of such rejection, termination or non-assumption. Upon the Seller’s payment of any such deemed Collections described in this Section 2.05(e), the Collateral Agent shall re-assign to the Seller all of its right, title and interest in and to the relevant Purchased Receivable or Purchased Receivables, the Contracts under which such Purchased Receivable(s) arose and the Related Security relating thereto.

SECTION 2.05. Payments and Computations, Etc. All amounts to be paid or deposited by the Seller hereunder shall be paid or deposited by the Seller in immediately available funds to the applicable Purchaser not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date on which payable. Payments received after such time shall be deemed to have been received on the next Business Day. All payments by the Seller under this Receivables Purchase Agreement shall be made without setoff, deduction or counterclaim and the Seller agrees to pay on demand any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Receivables Purchase Agreement. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next applicable Business Day and interest shall be payable at the applicable rate during such extension; provided, that if such extension would be inconsistent with one of the provisions set forth in the definition of “Fixed Period”, then such provision shall control.

SECTION 2.06. Compensation. The Seller shall compensate each Purchaser and ING, upon written request, for all losses, expenses and liabilities, including, without limitation, any indemnification payments owed by any Purchaser pursuant to any Liquidity Agreement, on account of any liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such party to make, fund or maintain Capital hereunder, (i) if for any reason a Receivables Purchase does not occur on a date specified therefor in the Sale Notice; (ii) if for any reason any payment, prepayment or conversion of any Capital occurs on a date which is not the last day of the Fixed Period for such Capital or (iii) as a consequence of any required conversion of any Eurodollar Rate Tranche prior to the last day of the Fixed Period for the relevant Capital pursuant to Section 2.02(c). Any request for compensation under this Section 2.06 shall be accompanied by a copy of a statement from the applicable Purchaser or ING, as applicable, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting compensation and the determination of the amount thereof in such statement shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.07. Dividing or Combining of Capital and Fixed Periods. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.02(c), the Seller may, on notice to and with the consent of the Managing Agent for any affected Purchaser received at least one Business Day prior to the last day of any Fixed Period, either (a) divide such Capital so as to allocate such Capital to two or more Fixed Periods, or (b) combine such Capital with other Capital originating on such last day or having Fixed Periods ending on such last day so as to allocate all such Capital to a single Fixed Period. On and after the Termination Date, each Managing Agent, on behalf of the Purchaser(s) in its Purchaser Group, shall have the right to divide and/or combine Capital maintained by such Purchaser(s) for purposes of allocation to Fixed Periods in any manner which it may select in its sole discretion.

SECTION 2.08. Increased Costs, Capital Adequacy.

(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 any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements included in the Eurodollar Reserve Percentage) 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 taking into account the obligations of the Liquidity Banks under the Liquidity Agreements and otherwise in connection with any Purchaser’s or 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 any Purchaser (either directly or indirectly through any increase in the costs to the applicable Liquidity Banks) or ING of making, funding, or maintaining Receivables Purchases or in the cost to any Purchaser or ING of agreeing to make, fund, or maintain Receivables Purchases (including the reduction of any sum received or Receivable hereunder), then the Seller shall from time to time, upon demand by such Purchaser or ING (as applicable) by the submission of the certificate described below, pay to such Purchaser or ING (as applicable) additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Purchaser or ING (as applicable) for such increased cost. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount of such increased cost submitted to the Seller by such Purchaser or ING (as applicable) shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(b) If any Purchaser, ING or any Liquidity Bank 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 such Purchaser, ING or such Liquidity Bank after the date hereof, affects or would affect capital adequacy or the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Purchaser, ING or such Liquidity Bank or any corporation or other entity controlling such Purchaser, ING or such Liquidity Bank and that the amount of such capital is increased by or based upon the Receivables Purchases made by such Purchaser hereunder or the existence of this Receivables Purchase Agreement, the ING Purchase Agreement or upon any advances or purchases to any such Purchaser by any such Liquidity Bank pursuant to the applicable Liquidity Agreements or such Liquidity Bank’s commitment to lend under the applicable Liquidity Agreements and other commitments of that type, or has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital, then, upon demand by such Purchaser or ING by the submission of the certificate described below, the Seller shall pay to such Purchaser or ING (as applicable), from time to time as specified by such Purchaser or ING (as applicable), additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Purchaser or ING (as applicable) or such corporation or other entity in the light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Purchaser or ING (as applicable) reasonably determines such increase in capital to be allocable to the Receivables Purchases or the existence of this Receivables Purchase Agreement or the ING Purchase Agreement or to the extent that Such Purchaser owes compensation to a Liquidity Bank in respect of or on account of such events. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail such amounts submitted to the Seller by such Purchaser or ING (as applicable) shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(c) In the event that any Purchaser requests compensation for increased costs on behalf of any Liquidity Bank under this Section 2.08 and such increased costs are not being requested by such Purchaser’s other Liquidity Banks generally or, if only one Liquidity Bank exists for such Purchaser, by such Purchaser’s liquidity banks for similar transactions, then such Purchaser shall, promptly following identification by the Seller of an “Eligible Assignee” (or such similar term as defined in the applicable Liquidity Agreement) willing to accept such commitment, cause the Liquidity Bank requesting such increased costs to assign its outstanding advances, purchases and other interests and commitments under the Liquidity Agreement to such “Eligible Assignee,” subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Liquidity Agreement (including without limitation Section 8.06(g) of the Liquidity Agreement, if applicable).

SECTION 2.09. Taxes. (a) All payments made by the Seller under this Receivables 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 any Purchaser or 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 such Purchaser or ING (excluding a connection arising solely from such Purchaser or ING having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Receivables Purchase Agreement or the ING Purchase Agreement, as applicable) (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions and withholdings

being hereinafter called “Taxes”). If 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 2.09), the affected Purchaser or 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 Receivables Purchase Agreement or ING Purchase Agreement (hereinafter “Other Taxes”).

(c) The Seller will indemnify each Purchaser and 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 2.09) paid by such Purchaser or ING and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. Whenever any Taxes are payable by the Seller, as promptly as possible thereafter the Seller shall send to each Purchaser and ING, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by the Seller showing payment thereof. If the Seller fails to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to each Purchaser and ING the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Seller shall indemnify each Purchaser and ING for any incremental Taxes, interest or penalties that such Purchaser or ING is legally required to pay as a result of any such failure. The agreements in this subsection shall survive the termination of this Receivables Purchase Agreement.

SECTION 2.10. Fees. In further consideration of the Receivables Purchases to be made hereunder, the Seller agrees to pay to each applicable Managing Agent, each Purchaser and ING all fees specified in the applicable Fee Letter, which fees will be due and payable at the times and in the manner set forth in such Fee Letters.

SECTION 2.11. Grant of Security Interest in Equipment Collateral. (a) As security for the payment and performance of all the Obligations and the ING Obligations and as additional enhancement to enable the Purchasers, ING, the Liquidity Banks and the Insurer to fully recover Capital and accrued and unpaid Yield and fees and the ING Obligations, the Seller hereby grants to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Purchasers, ING, the Liquidity Banks and the Insurer, a security interest in all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the following, whether now owned or hereafter acquired and whether now existing or hereafter arising (the “Equipment Collateral”): all Equipment which is the subject of a Contract for any Purchased Receivable and substitutions therefor and products and proceeds thereof, including, without limitation, all payments under insurance (whether or not the Collateral Agent is the loss payee thereof) or any indemnity, warranty or guaranty, payable by reason of loss or damage to or otherwise with respect to any of the foregoing. This Section 2.11 shall not be construed to limit the scope or applicability of the security interested granted in Section 2.01.

(b) The Seller shall, at its expense, promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action (including, without limitation, the execution and filing of such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto and assignments thereof), that may reasonably be necessary or desirable, or that the Collateral Agent may request, in order to perfect and protect any security interest granted or purported to be granted to the Collateral Agent hereunder or to enable the Collateral Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Equipment Collateral. The Seller hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to file one or more financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto and assignments thereof, relative to all or any part of the Equipment Collateral now existing or hereafter arising without the signature of the Seller where permitted by law. A carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Receivables Purchase Agreement or any financing statement covering the Equipment Collateral or any part thereof shall be sufficient as a financing statement.

(l) Separate Identity. Take all actions required to maintain the Seller’s status as a separate legal entity. Without limiting the foregoing, the Seller shall:

(i) conduct all of its business, and make all communications to third parties (including all invoices (if any), letters, checks and other instruments) solely in its own name (and not as a division of any other Person), and require that its employees, if any, when conducting its business identify themselves as such and not as employees of any other Affiliate of the Seller (including, without limitation, by means of providing appropriate employees with business or identification cards identifying such employees as the Seller’s employees);

(ii) compensate all employees, consultants and agents directly or indirectly through reimbursement of the Originator each calendar quarter, from the Seller’s bank accounts, for services provided to the Seller by such employees, consultants and agents and, to the extent any employee, consultant or agent of the Seller is also an employee, consultant or agent of any Affiliate of the Seller, allocate the compensation of such employee, consultant or agent between the Seller and such Affiliate on a basis which reflects the services rendered to the Seller and such Affiliate;

(iii) pay its own operating expenses and liabilities from its own funds, allocate all overhead expenses (including, without limitation, telephone and other utility charges and rent for office space) for items shared between the Seller and any Affiliate on the basis of actual use to the extent practicable and, to the extent such allocation is not practicable, on a basis reasonably related to actual use and allocate taxes on the basis of their respective incomes in accordance with applicable federal regulations;

(iv) at all times have at least one “Independent Manager”, as defined in and as required under the Seller’s limited liability company agreement and have at least one officer responsible for managing its day-to-day business and manage such business by or under the direction of its board of managers;

(v) maintain its books and records separate from those of any Affiliate;

(vi) prepare its financial statements separately from those of its other Affiliates and insure that any consolidated financial statements of the Originator have notes to the effect that the Seller is a separate entity whose creditors have a claim on its assets prior to those assets becoming available to its equity holders and therefore to any creditors of the Originator;

(vii) use its best efforts not to commingle its funds or other assets with those of any other Affiliate, and not to hold its assets in any manner that would create an appearance that such assets belong to any other Affiliate, and not maintain bank accounts or other depository accounts to which any Affiliate is an account party, into which any Affiliate makes deposits or from which any Affiliate has the power to make withdrawals;

(viii) not permit any Affiliate to pay its operating expenses (except pursuant to allocation arrangements that comply with the requirements of subsection (ii) or (iii) of this Section 5.01(l) or pursuant to the terms of the Sale Agreement);

(ix) not guarantee any obligation of any Affiliate nor (to the extent that the Seller has the legal power to prevent such) have any of its obligations guaranteed by any such Affiliate, (either directly or by seeking credit based on the assets of such Affiliate) or otherwise hold itself out as responsible for the debts of any Affiliate;

(x) maintain at all times stationery and a telephone number separate from that of any Affiliate and which telephone number will be answered in its own name, and have all its officers and employees conduct all of its business solely in its own name;

(xi) hold meetings of its members and/or board of managers in accordance with the provisions of its limited liability company agreement and otherwise take such actions as are necessary on its part to ensure that all organizational procedures required by its certificate of formation and limited liability company agreement are duly and validly taken;

(xii) maintain a separate office from the offices of any of its Affiliates and identify such office by a sign in its own name;

(xiii) pay dividends or other distributions to its members only if (A) no other dividend or distribution has been paid during the calendar month in which such amount is paid, (B) such dividend or distribution has been duly authorized by its board of managers in accordance with applicable law and (C) its net worth, determined immediately after giving effect to such dividend or distribution is at least $2,000,000; and

(xiv) take such other actions as are necessary on its part to ensure that the facts and assumptions set forth in the opinion concerning certain bankruptcy matters to be delivered by counsel for the Seller pursuant to Section 3.01(a)(ix) remain true and correct at all times.

(m) Taxes. File or cause to be filed, and (to the extent it has legal power to cause such) cause each of its Affiliates with whom it shares consolidated tax liability to file, all federal, state and local tax returns which are required to be filed by it, except where the failure to file such returns could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the collectibility of the Transferred Assets or the ability of the Seller to perform its obligations hereunder or under any other Facility Document to which it is a party or which could otherwise be reasonably expected to expose the Seller to a material liability. The Seller shall pay or cause to be paid all taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns or on any assessments received by it, other than any taxes or assessments, the validity of which are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which the Seller or the applicable subsidiary shall have set aside adequate reserves on its books in accordance with GAAP and which proceedings could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the collectibility of the Transferred Assets or the ability of the Seller to perform its obligations hereunder or under any other Facility Document to which it is a party or which could otherwise be reasonably expected to expose the Seller to a material liability.

(n) Interest Rate Hedges. Concurrently with each Receivables Purchase, enter into an Interest Rate Hedge with the Swap Provider as contemplated in the definition of “Discount Rate”, and transfer, assign and otherwise convey to the Collateral Agent all of the Seller’s rights in, to and under such Interest Rate Hedge pursuant to an Interest Rate Hedge Assignment in substantially in the form of Exhibit E hereto, together with a certificate executed by the Swap Provider in substantially the form of Exhibit A to such Interest Rate Hedge Assignment. The Seller shall thereafter maintain such Interest Rate Hedges in full force and effect at all times until the Capital associated with such Receivables Purchase has been recovered in full by the Purchasers, in a notional amount equal to no less than 96% and no more than 105% of the sum of the outstanding Capital related thereto and based on an amortization schedule which matches the amortization of the aggregate Receivables then outstanding and the terms of which are otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent. The Seller acknowledges that the Purchasers and/or the Insurer on behalf of the Purchasers have guaranteed the Seller’s performance of its obligations under the Interest Rate Hedges. The Seller shall perform all of its obligations under the Interest Rate Hedges to the same extent as if its rights under the Interest Rate Hedges have not been assigned hereunder and under the Interest Rate Hedge Assignments and shall indemnify each of the Purchasers and the Insurer against any payments by either such party on account of the Seller’s failure to perform its obligations under the Interest Rate Hedges, including, without limitation, any payments by the Insurer (including on behalf of CapMAC) under the Swap Policies, which indemnity shall survive any termination of this Receivables Purchase Agreement. The exercise by the Collateral Agent of any of its rights hereunder or under the Interest Rate Hedge Assignment shall not relieve the Seller from such obligations.

(o) Facility Documents. Comply in all material respects with the terms of and employ the procedures outlined in and enforce the obligations of the Originator under the Sale Agreement, and all of the other Facility Documents to which it is a party, take all such action to

such end as may be from time to time reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent, maintain all such Facility Documents in full force and effect and make to the Originator such reasonable demands and requests for information and reports or for action as the Seller is entitled to make thereunder and as may be from time to time reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent.

(p) Segregation of Collections. Prevent the deposit into the Collection Account and any of the Lock-Box Accounts of any funds other than (x) Collections in respect of the Transferred Assets and (y) so long as the Seller is party to the Escrow Agreement, other funds that are subject to the Escrow Agreement, and, to the extent that any funds other than those described in clause (x) or (y) are nevertheless deposited into any such accounts, promptly identify any such funds to the Servicer (and, in the case of the Collection Account, to the Collection Agent and the Collection Account Bank) for segregation and remittance to the owner thereof.

(q) Back-Up Servicing Agreement. Within ninety (90) days of the Effective Date, enter into an agreement (the “Back-Up Servicing Agreement”) with the Back-Up Servicer in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Managing Agents whereby the Back-Up Servicer will have, in substitution for or in addition to its duties under the ING Purchase Agreement, commenced performing such additional back-up servicing duties and obligations as it currently has agreed to provide on behalf of HPSC Gloucester Funding 2003-1 LLC I and HPSC Gloucester Funding 2003-1 LLC II.

SECTION 5.02. Reporting Requirements of the Seller. From the initial Receivables Purchase Date until the Combined Collection Date, the Seller will, unless the Collateral Agent shall otherwise consent in writing, furnish to the Insurer, the Collateral Agent, each Managing Agent, and, (so long as the ING Purchase Agreement is in effect) to ING:

(a) as soon as available and in any event within 45 days after the end of each of the first three quarters of each fiscal year of the Seller, balance sheets of the Seller as of the end of such quarter, and (to the extent available) statements of income and retained earnings of the Seller for the period commencing at the end of the previous fiscal year and ending with the end of such quarter, certified by the chief financial officer, chief accounting officer or treasurer of the Seller;

(b) as soon as available and in any event within 105 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Seller, a copy of the balance sheet of the Seller as of the end of such year and the related statements of income and retained earnings of the Seller for such year each reported on by Deloitte & Touche LLP or other nationally recognized independent public accountants acceptable to each Managing Agent;

(g) promptly, from time to time, such other information, documents, records or reports respecting the Purchased Receivables or the conditions or operations, financial or otherwise, of the Seller as any Managing Agent may from time to time reasonably request in order to protect the interests of such Managing Agent or of any related Purchaser under or as contemplated by this Receivables Purchase Agreement.

SECTION 5.03. Negative Covenants of the Seller. From the initial Receivables Purchase Date until the Combined Collection Date, the Seller will not, without the written consent of the Collateral Agent:

Except for actions of the Servicer otherwise permitted hereunder and in the Sale Agreement, extend, amend or otherwise modify, the terms of any Receivable, or amend, modify or waive, any term or condition of any Contract related thereto, whether for any reason relating to a negative change in the related Obligor’s creditworthiness or inability to make any payment under the related Contract or otherwise.

(c) Change in Business or Credit and Collection Policy. Make or permit the Originator to make any change in the character of its business or in the Credit and Collection Policy, which change would, in either case, impair the collectibility of any Transferred Asset.

(d) Change in Payment Instructions to Obligors. Add or terminate any bank as a Lock-Box Bank from those listed in Exhibit H to the Sale Agreement or make any change in its instructions to Obligors regarding payments to be made to the Seller or payments to be made to any Lock-Box Bank, unless the Collateral Agent shall have received (i) ten Business Days’ prior notice of such addition, termination or change and (ii) prior to the effective date of such addition, termination or change, (x) executed copies of Lock-Box Agreements executed by each new Lock-Box Bank, the Collateral Agent and the Seller and (y) copies of all agreements and documents signed by either the Seller or the respective Lock-Box Bank with respect to any new Lock-Box Account.

(h) Terminate or Reject Contracts. Without limiting Section 5.03(b), terminate or reject any Contract prior to the term of such Contract, whether such rejection or early termination is made pursuant to an equitable cause, statute, regulation, judicial proceeding or other applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code),

unless prior to such termination or rejection, the Seller pays the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Purchasers, an amount equal to the Termination Amount owed with respect thereto.

(i) Indebtedness. Create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Indebtedness except for (i) Indebtedness to the Purchasers, the Collateral Agent or any Liquidity Bank expressly contemplated hereunder, (ii) ordinary course expenses (to the extent, if any, that such ordinary course expenses constitute Indebtedness) in an aggregate amount outstanding at any time not to exceed $10,000 (exclusive of taxes) and (iii) Indebtedness to the Originator pursuant to the Sale Agreement.

(j) Guarantees. Guarantee, endorse or otherwise be or become contingently liable (including by agreement to maintain balance sheet tests) in connection with the obligations of any other Person, except endorsements of negotiable instruments for collection in the ordinary course of business and reimbursement or indemnification obligations in favor of the Purchasers, the Agents, or any Liquidity Bank as provided for under this Receivables Purchase Agreement.

(i) the transactions contemplated by this Receivables Purchase Agreement and the Sale Agreement;

(iii) to the extent not otherwise prohibited under this Receivables Purchase Agreement, other transactions in the nature of employment contracts and directors’ fees, upon fair and reasonable terms materially no less favorable to the Seller than would be obtained in a comparable arm’s-length transaction with a Person not an Affiliate.

(l) Facility Documents. Except as otherwise permitted under Section 11.01, (a) terminate, amend or otherwise modify any Facility Document to which it is a party, or grant any waiver or consent thereunder, (b) without the prior consent of each Managing Agent, exercise any discretionary rights granted to the Seller under the Sale Agreement pursuant to provisions thereof providing for certain actions to be taken “with the consent of the Buyer”, “acceptable to the Buyer” as “specified by the Buyer”, “in the reasonable judgment of the Buyer” or similar provisions (it being understood that inaction by the Seller shall not be considered to be an exercise of such discretionary rights) or (c) without the prior written consent of each Managing Agent, consent to any amendment or modification of the Credit and Collection Policy.

(m) Limited Liability Company Agreement. Amend or otherwise modify its certificate of formation or limited liability company agreement in any manner which requires the consent of the “Independent Manager” (as defined in the Seller’s limited liability company agreement) without the prior written consent of each Managing Agent and delivery of an opinion of counsel that such amendment shall not alter the conclusions set forth in the legal opinions delivered pursuant to Section 3.01(ix).

(o) Accounting Treatment.

(p) Limitation on Investments. Make or suffer to exist any loans or advances to, or extend any credit to, or make any investments (by way of transfer of property, contributions to capital, purchase of stock or securities or evidences of indebtedness, acquisition of the business or assets, or otherwise) in, any Affiliate or any other Person except for (i) Permitted Investments, (ii) the purchase of Receivables and other Transferred Assets pursuant to the terms of the Sale Agreement and (iii) so long as the aggregate outstanding Capital hereunder is less than the Capital Limit then in effect, the acceptance of investments in exchange for Defaulted Receivables in an effort to maximize the recoveries thereon.

ARTICLE VI

ADMINISTRATION AND COLLECTION

SECTION 6.01. Designation of Servicer. The servicing, administering and collection of the Purchased Receivables and the other Purchased Assets shall be conducted by the Person (the “Servicer”) designated by the Collateral Agent from time to time in accordance with this Section 6.01. Until the Collateral Agent gives notice to the Originator of the designation of a new Servicer, the Originator is hereby designated as, and hereby agrees to perform the duties and obligations of, the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof. The Collateral Agent may at any time from and after a Servicing Termination Event, or earlier upon the written request of the Seller, designate the Back-up Servicer or any other Person to succeed the Originator 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. The Servicer may, with the prior written consent of the Majority Managing Agents and the Collateral Agent, subcontract with any other Person for servicing, administering or collecting the Purchased Assets, provided that the Servicer shall remain liable for the performance of the duties and obligations of the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof. The Servicer shall use reasonable care in performing its duties as Servicer hereunder and, without limiting the foregoing, shall service the Purchased Receivables in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy.

SECTION 6.02. Duties of the Servicer. (a) The Servicer shall take or cause to be taken all such actions as may be necessary or advisable to collect each Purchased Receivable from time to time, all in accordance with applicable laws, rules and regulations, with reasonable care and diligence, and in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy. Each of the Seller, ING, each Purchaser and each Agent hereby appoints as its agent the Servicer, from time to time designated pursuant to Section 6.01, to enforce its respective rights and interests in and under the Purchased Receivables, the Related Security related thereto and the related Collections. The Servicer will at all times apply the same standards and follow the same procedures with respect to the decision to commence, and in prosecuting and litigating with respect to Purchased Receivables as it applies and follows with respect to accounts, chattel paper and instruments which are not Purchased Receivables. In no event shall the Servicer be entitled to make ING, any Purchaser or any Agent a party to any litigation without the express prior written consent of each such Person to be so made a party to such litigation, and in any such case, the Collateral Agent. The Servicer shall segregate and set aside for the account of the Purchasers and ING all Collections of the Purchased Receivables and Related Security in accordance with Section 2.05 of the Sale Agreement and Section 6.06 hereof and shall cause all such Collections to be remitted to a Lock-Box Account and/or deposited directly into the Collection Account within one Business Day after identification thereof by the Servicer and in any event within four Business Days after the Servicer’s receipt thereof. The Servicer shall promptly review all checks and other instruments returned to it by the Lock-Box Bank on account of restrictive endorsements, improper payees, incorrect amounts or for any other reason and shall not deposit any such checks or instruments in its own accounts unless it is determined to the Collateral Agent’s satisfaction that such amounts do not constitute Collections; any such checks or instruments which are determined to be Collections of the Purchased Receivables or Related Security related thereto shall be promptly remitted to the Lock-Box Account or the Collection Account as provided above. Provided that the Termination Date shall not have occurred, the Originator, while it is Servicer, may, in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy, (i) amend, modify or waive any term or condition of any Contract to reflect any Permitted Extension, (ii) adjust the Outstanding Balance of any Purchased Receivable to reflect the reductions, adjustments or cancellations described in the first sentence of Section 2.04(d) of this Receivables Purchase Agreement, (iii) so long as such prepayment would not cause a Wind-Down Event under this Receivables Purchase Agreement, and subject to the payment of the Termination Amount, consent to the prepayment or early termination of a Contract, and (iv) amend, modify or waive any provision of a Delinquent Receivable or Defaulted Receivable so as to maximize the collectibility thereof. The Servicer shall hold in trust for the Seller, the Purchasers and ING, in accordance with their respective interests, all Records. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, following the occurrence of an Event of Termination, the Collateral Agent (at the direction of the Majority Managing Agents) shall have the absolute and unlimited right to direct the Servicer (whether the Servicer is the Originator or otherwise) to commence or settle any legal action to enforce collection of any Receivable or other Transferred Asset or to foreclose upon or repossess any Related Security.

(b) The Servicer shall, as soon as practicable following receipt, turn over to the Originator the collections of any receivable which is not a Purchased Asset, in either case less, in the event the Originator is not the Servicer, all reasonable and appropriate out-of-pocket costs and expenses of such Servicer of servicing, collecting and administering such receivable.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Receivables Purchase Agreement, the Servicer, if the Collateral Agent or its designee, shall have no obligation to collect, enforce or take any other action described in this Article VI with respect to any receivable that is not a Purchased Receivable other than to deliver to the Originator the collections with respect to any such receivable as described in Section 6.02(b) and to exercise the same degree of care with respect to such collections in its possession as it would exercise with respect to its own property.

(d) In the event the Servicer, in satisfaction of all or part of any Purchased Receivable, repossesses or otherwise takes possession of the Equipment the sale or lease of which gave rise to such Purchased Receivable, the Servicer agrees to use its reasonable efforts to resell or re-lease such Equipment for the account of the Purchasers (including their respective assignees, participants and successors) and shall remit to the Collateral Agent the gross sale proceeds thereof or, to the extent such Equipment is re-leased, shall deliver to the Collateral Agent the chattel paper or other documents evidencing the rights to payment arising from such re-lease, all of which documents shall constitute Contracts and which rights to payment shall constitute Purchased Receivables, and all of which Contracts and Purchased Receivables shall constitute part of the Purchased Assets. None of the Purchasers, ING or any Agent shall have any obligation to take any action or commence any proceedings to realize upon any Purchased Receivable or to enforce any of its rights or remedies with respect thereto. Any moneys collected by the Servicer pursuant to this subsection 6.02(d) shall be segregated by the Servicer, held in trust by the Servicer for the Purchasers and ING and shall be remitted to a Lock-Box Account or to the Collection Account within one Business Day after identification thereof by the Servicer and in any event within four Business Days after the Servicer’s receipt thereof.

(e) The Servicer shall maintain all books of account and other records pertaining to the Purchased Receivables and the other Purchased Assets in such form as will enable the Purchasers, ING or their respective designees to determine at any time the status thereof. The Servicer will permit ING, any Purchaser, any Agent and any Person designated by any such Person, during regular business hours, to inspect, audit, check and make abstracts from all books, accounts, records, or other papers pertaining to such Purchased Assets. From time to time, at the request of ING, any Purchaser, any Agent, the Servicer, at its own expense, will (i) deliver to such Person and any Person designated by such Person any records and invoices pertaining to the Purchased Assets and evidence thereof as such Person or such designee may deem necessary to enable it to enforce its rights thereunder or under any related Contract and (ii) mark each computer record relating to, and each invoice or other evidence of, the Purchased Assets (whether or not such computer record or other item is the property of any Purchaser or ING) as ING, such Purchaser or any Agent on such Purchaser’s behalf may direct to reflect the interests of ING, such Person and the Collateral Agent in such Purchased Assets. The Servicer will either (i) segregate, from all the documents relating to other receivables then owned or being serviced by the Servicer, all documents relating to the Purchased Assets or (ii) mark all such documents relating to the Purchased Assets so as to make such documents readily identifiable as property of the Purchasers and ING and with such legend as shall be specified by the Collateral Agent, and will, in either such event, hold all such documents in trust for the Purchasers and ING and safely keep such documents in filing cabinets or other suitable containers marked to show the Purchasers’ and ING’s interests.

SECTION 6.03. Rights of the Collateral Agent. At any time:

(a) The Collateral Agent may notify the Obligors of the Purchased Receivables, or any of them, of the Purchasers’ and ING’s ownership interests in the Purchased Assets and direct such Obligors, or any of them, that payment of all amounts payable under any Purchased Receivable be made directly to the Collateral Agent or any other designee of the Purchasers (including, without limitation, ING).

(b) The Seller shall, at the Collateral Agent’s request and at the Seller’s expense, give notice of the Purchasers’ and ING’s interests in the Purchased Assets to each Obligor (in substantially the form of the Notice of Assignment) and direct that payments be made directly to the Collateral Agent or any other designee of the Purchasers (including, without limitation, ING).

(c) The Seller shall, at the Collateral Agent’s request, assemble all Records which the Collateral Agent reasonably believes are necessary or appropriate for the administration and enforcement of the Purchased Assets, and shall make the same available to the Collateral Agent at a place selected by the Collateral Agent or its designee.

(d) Each of the Servicer, the Seller, each Purchaser, each other Agent and ING hereby authorize the Collateral Agent to take any and all steps in the Seller’s name and on behalf of the Seller necessary or desirable, in the determination of the Collateral Agent, to collect all amounts due under any and all Purchased Receivables or Related Security related thereto, including, without limitation, endorsing the Seller’s name on checks and other instruments representing Collections and enforcing such Purchased Receivables and the related Contracts.

SECTION 6.04. Further Action Evidencing Transfers. (a) The 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 the Collateral Agent may reasonably request in order to protect or more fully evidence the Purchasers’ and ING’s ownership interests in the Purchased Receivables, the Related Security and the Collections related thereto, or to enable any Purchaser or the Collateral Agent to exercise or enforce any of its rights hereunder or under any related document. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Seller will mark its master data processing records evidencing such Purchased Receivables, Related Security and Collections related thereto with a legend, acceptable to the Collateral Agent and ING, evidencing that the Purchasers and ING have acquired an ownership interest therein as provided in this Receivables Purchase Agreement and the ING Purchase Agreement and, upon the request of the Collateral Agent, will 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 or as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request. The Seller hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to file one or more financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto and assignments thereof, relative to all or any of the Purchased Receivables, Related Security and Collections related thereto now existing or hereafter arising without the signature of the Seller where permitted by law. A carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Receivables Purchase Agreement or any financing statement covering the Purchased Receivables, Related

Security and Collections related thereto, or any part thereof, shall be sufficient as a financing statement. If the Seller fails to perform any of its agreements or obligations under this Receivables Purchase Agreement, the Collateral Agent may (but shall not be required to) itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement or obligation, and the expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the Seller upon the Collateral Agent’s demand therefor; provided, however, prior to taking any such action, the Collateral Agent shall give notice of such intention to the Seller and provide the Seller with a reasonable opportunity to take such action itself.

(b) The Seller shall, on or prior to the date of each Receivables Purchase hereunder, deliver or cause to be delivered the related Contract File to the Custodian, in suitable form for transfer by delivery, or accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in blank, all in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent. In the event that the Seller or the Servicer receives any other instrument or any writing constituting chattel paper which, in either event, evidences a Purchased Receivable or other Purchased Assets, the Seller or the Servicer as applicable shall deliver such instrument or chattel paper to the Custodian on behalf of the Purchasers and ING within three (3) Business Days after receipt, in suitable form for transfer by delivery, or accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in blank, all in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent.

SECTION 6.05. Responsibilities of the Seller. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Seller shall (i) perform all of its obligations under the Contracts to the same extent as if such Contracts had not been transferred to the Purchasers or ING hereunder and the exercise by the Purchasers or ING or their respective assigns of their respective rights hereunder shall not relieve the Seller from such obligations and (ii) pay when due any taxes, including without limitation, sales, excise and personal property taxes payable in connection with the Purchased Assets, unless the Seller is contesting the payment of such taxes in good faith and by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which no Adverse Claim has been asserted or filed.

SECTION 6.06. Administration of Collections by Servicer. The Servicer shall identify on a timely basis all Collections which are on account of the Purchased Assets, including all deposits to Lock-Box Accounts. On each Business Day, all Collections received in the Lock-Box Accounts for the prior Business Day (and such Business Day, if practicable) shall be transferred to the Collection Account. If the Servicer receives any cash or checks, drafts, wire transfers or other instruments for the payment of money on account or otherwise in respect of the Purchased Assets, the Servicer shall segregate such cash and other items, hold such cash and other items in trust for the benefit of the Purchasers, ING, and the Collateral Agent and shall cause such cash and other items (properly endorsed, where required, so that such items may be collected by the Collateral Agent or the Purchasers) to be deposited in a Lock-Box Account or directly in the Collection Account immediately after the date any such cash or other item shall have been identified as being on account of a Purchased Assets and in no event later than four Business Days after receipt thereof by the Servicer.

SECTION 6.07. Application of Collections. All Collections on account of the Purchased Receivables of each Obligor shall be applied in the order of maturity thereof unless specifically identified otherwise in writing by such Obligor or directed by a court of competent jurisdiction. Any payment by an Obligor in respect of any indebtedness or other obligations

owed by such Obligor to the Seller or the Servicer shall, except as otherwise specified by such Obligor or otherwise required by law, be applied as a Collection of a Receivable of such Obligor (in the order of the age by invoice date of such Receivables, starting with the oldest such Receivable) to the extent of any amounts then due and payable thereunder before being applied to any other indebtedness of such Obligor to the Seller or the Servicer. The Servicer shall not influence or instruct any Obligor who is indebted to the Seller in respect of any indebtedness not included in the Purchased Assets to direct that its remittances be applied to any such indebtedness prior to being applied to the Purchased Assets.

SECTION 6.08. Servicing Fee. On each Settlement Date, as full compensation for its servicing activities hereunder, the Servicer shall be entitled to receive a fee (the “Servicing Fee”) in an amount equal to the Servicing Fee Rate times the Outstanding Balance of the Purchased Receivables as of the last day of the prior calendar month times a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of actual days elapsed in such calendar month and the denominator of which equals 360, provided, that, if the Servicer hereunder is also the Servicer under the Sale Agreement, the 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 Sale Agreement. In the event that the Collateral Agent appoints a successor Servicer, the Servicing Fee may be adjusted as required by such successor Servicer and as agreed to by the Collateral Agent.

SECTION 6.09. Resignation; Successor Servicer. (a) The obligation of the Servicer to service the Purchased Receivables is personal to the Servicer and the parties recognize that another Person may not be qualified to perform such obligations. Accordingly, the Servicer’s obligation to service the Purchased Assets hereunder shall be specifically enforceable and shall be absolute and unconditional in all circumstances, including, without limitation, after the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Termination or Servicing Termination Event hereunder; provided, however, that a Successor Servicer may be appointed pursuant to Section 6.01 or this Section 6.09.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer may resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it as Servicer upon determination that (i) the performance of its duties hereunder is no longer permissible under any applicable law and (ii) there is no reasonable action which the Servicer could take to make the performance of its duties hereunder permissible under any such applicable law. Any determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced as to clause (i) above by an opinion of counsel to such effect delivered to each Managing Agent, ING and the Collateral Agent. Except to the extent inconsistent with any such applicable law, no such resignation shall become effective until a Successor Servicer shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Servicer in accordance with the remaining provisions of this Section 6.09.

(c) The Collateral Agent shall, as promptly as possible after the Servicer has given notice pursuant to Section 6.09(b) above or at any time after the Collateral Agent’s designation of a successor Servicer pursuant to Section 6.01, appoint the Back-up Servicer or other successor servicer (the “Successor Servicer”) and such Successor Servicer shall accept its appointment by a written assumption in a form acceptable to the Collateral Agent. Upon its appointment, the Successor Servicer shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer with respect to servicing functions under this Receivables Purchase Agreement and shall be subject to

all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof, and all references in this Receivables Purchase Agreement or any other Facility Documents to the Servicer shall be deemed to refer to the Successor Servicer. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Successor Servicer in effecting the transfer of its responsibilities, duties, liabilities and rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the execution and delivery of assignments of financing statements, the transfer to the Successor Servicer of all cash amounts held by the Servicer or thereafter received with respect to the Purchased Assets, the transfer of electronic records relating to the Purchased Assets in such form as the Successor Servicer may reasonably request and the transfer of all related Records, correspondence and other documents relating to the Purchased Assets.

SECTION 6.10. Lock-Box Accounts; Collection Account. The Seller has established and will maintain a system of operations, accounts and instructions to the Lock-Box Banks and will establish and maintain the Collection Account as provided in Section 6.11. Pursuant to a Lock-Box Agreement, each Lock-Box Bank shall be irrevocably instructed to wire all funds from time to time on deposit in any related Lock-Box Account to the Collection Account. Neither the Seller, nor any Person claiming by, through or under the Seller shall have any control over the use of, or any right to withdraw any item or amount from, any Lock-Box Account or the Collection Account except as expressly provided in the Lock-Box Agreements. The Collateral Agent on behalf of the Purchasers and ING is hereby irrevocably authorized and empowered, as the Seller’s attorney-in-fact, to endorse any item deposited in a Post Office Box or lock-box or presented for deposit in any Lock-Box Account or the Collection Account requiring the endorsement of the Seller, which authorization is coupled with an interest.

SECTION 6.11. Collection Account; Distribution of Collections. (a) The Seller has established for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers, ING, the Insurer and their respective assigns, a cash collateral account (the “Collection Account”). The Collection Account shall be a special purpose segregated trust account maintained with Fleet National Bank or another bank satisfactory to Collateral Agent but shall be under the sole dominion and control of, and in the name of, the Collateral Agent. All funds held in the Collection Account, including investment earnings thereon, shall be invested in Permitted Investments at the direction of the Seller; provided, however, that from and after the Termination Date or otherwise upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Termination, the Collateral Agent shall have the sole right to restrict the maturities of any investments held in the Collection Account and to direct the withdrawal of any such investments for the purposes of paying Capital, Yield, any Obligations and any ING Obligations owed hereunder. The Collateral Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right to withdraw or order a transfer of funds from the Collection Account in accordance with the terms and provisions of Section 2.04 and of this Section 6.11; provided, however, that the Collateral Agent hereby authorizes the Seller (or the Servicer on its behalf), prior to the occurrence of any Event of Termination (or upon the express waiver thereof by the Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 11.01), to withdraw and apply amounts on deposit in the Collection Account in accordance with Sections 6.11(b) and (c) below; provided, further, however, that the Collateral Agent agrees to turn over to the Originator any funds which are deposited in the Collection Account and which do not constitute Collections or other proceeds of Purchased Assets, less all reasonable and appropriate out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent in connection with such misdirected funds.

(b) All Collections and other proceeds of the Purchased Assets in the Collection Account shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Purchasers, ING and the Insurer and, on each Settlement Date, except as otherwise provided in Section 6.11(d) below with respect to any Settlement Date from and after the Designated Termination Date, such Collections and other proceeds shall be used solely for the following purposes and in the following order of priority:

(i) To remit to the Seller any Collections representing sales or other taxes or insurance payments for the purpose of satisfying the Seller’s obligations in respect of such taxes or insurance;

(ii) To pay Yield and other Carrying Costs which are then due and payable;

(vii) To repay ING Capital, as provided in Section 2.04 and the ING Purchase Agreement;

(ix) (A) If the Termination Date has not occurred, to be remitted to the Seller in payment of the purchase price in respect of any Receivables Purchase to be made on such Settlement Date, as provided in Section 2.04(b)(i) and (B) if the Termination Date has occurred, to repay Capital; and

(x) To be remitted to the Seller in consideration of the Deferred Purchase Price, provided, that such funds shall only be remitted to the Seller to the extent that, after giving effect to such transfer of funds and any Receivables Purchases being made on such Settlement Date, the amount of Capital then outstanding does not exceed the Capital Limit then in effect, and the amount of Combined Capital then outstanding does not exceed the Combined Capital Limit then in effect.

The Seller, in making any request for funds to be withdrawn from the Collection Account, shall certify to each of the Collateral Agent and the Collection Account Bank that the funds will be used for one of the purposes described above in this Section 6.11(b).

If, on any Settlement Date prior to the Designated Termination Date, the Collections of Purchased Assets on deposit in the Collection Account and available for

withdrawal under clause (ii) above are less than the amount of the obligations described in such clause, such available funds shall be allocated in the priority set forth in Section 6.11(c) below, and within each such priority, such available funds shall be allocated to the Persons to whom such obligations are owed ratably according to the respective amounts owed.

(c) On each Settlement Date prior to the Designated Termination Date, to the extent that the Collections of Purchased Assets on deposit in the Collection Account and available under clause (ii) of Section 6.11(b) are insufficient to pay all Carrying Costs which are then due and payable, such funds shall be applied to the Carrying Costs in the following order of priority:

(i) To pay to any Swap Provider, regularly scheduled amounts owed under the Interest Rate Hedges (but excluding any Swap Breakage Amounts, taxes, indemnities, or other similar amounts);

(ii) To pay any accrued and unpaid Servicing Fee and fees due and payable to the Back-Up Servicer;

(iii) To pay any accrued and unpaid Yield;

(vii) To pay ordinary course expenses of the Seller to the extent the same are due or past due.

(d) On each Settlement Date from and after the Designated Termination Date, Collections and other proceeds of Purchased Assets shall be withdrawn from the Collection Account solely upon direction of the Collateral Agent to be applied against the Obligations in the following order of priority;

(i) To remit to the Seller any Collections representing sales or other taxes or insurance payments for the purpose of satisfying the Seller’s obligations in respect of such taxes or insurance;

(ii) To pay any accrued and unpaid Servicing Fee (if the Servicer is a party other than the Originator or an Affiliate thereof);

(viii) To pay the accrued and unpaid expenses of the Collateral Agent which are allocable to this Receivables Purchase Agreement;

(ix) To pay any other accrued and unpaid Obligations (including Default Premium), and any other amounts owing to the Swap Provider (including Swap Breakage Amounts), which Obligations and/or amounts have not been paid pursuant to clauses (i) through (viii) above;

If, on any such Settlement Date, the funds on deposit in the Collection Account and available for withdrawal under either clause (iii), (iv), (vi), (viii) or (ix) above are less than the amount of the obligations described in such clause, such available funds shall be allocated to the Persons to whom such obligations are owed ratably according to the respective amounts owed. Any funds remaining in the Collection Account after payment of the foregoing Obligations and the ING Obligations and other fees and expenses shall be remitted to the Seller in consideration of the Deferred Purchase Price.

(e) Payments Under Interest Rate Hedges as Collections. Until the Collection Date, pursuant to each Interest Rate Hedge Assignment, the Collateral Agent shall receive and hold all payments received from the Swap Providers under the Interest Rate Hedges and apply such payments in the order of priority set forth above in Sections 6.11(b)-(d) to the same extent as if such payments constituted Collections on deposit in the Collection Account. After the Collection Date, any payments received by the Collateral Agent under the Interest Rate Hedges shall be held in trust by the Collateral Agent and forthwith delivered to the Seller.

(f) Subrogation Rights of Insurer. Each party hereto acknowledges that, on behalf of the Seller, the Insurer has issued (or, in the case of the Swap Policies, has either issued

or is obligated to assume CapMAC’s payment obligations under) (i) the Swap Policies in favor of the Swap Providers, to guarantee the payment of certain amounts owed under the Interest Rate Hedges and (ii) the Policies in favor of the Purchasers and the Liquidity Banks, to guarantee the payment of Yield and Capital in accordance with the terms thereof. Anything in this Receivables Purchase Agreement or any Facility Document to the contrary notwithstanding, any payment with respect to any Capital or Obligations owed by the Seller that is made with monies received pursuant to the terms of any Swap Policy or Policy shall not be considered payment by the Seller, shall not discharge any obligations of the Seller to make such payment and, to the extent any such Capital or Obligation has been paid with the proceeds of any Swap Policy or Policy, such Capital or Obligations shall continue to remain outstanding for all purposes of the Facility Documents until the Insurer has been paid as subrogee hereunder. In furtherance of and not in limitation of the Insurer’s equitable right of subrogation, each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that, to the extent of any payment made by the Insurer (including with respect to the Swap Policies, on behalf of CapMAC) to the applicable beneficiary under any of the Policies or the Swap Policies or under the Insurance Agreement, in any case with respect to any Obligations of the Seller, subject to the priorities of payment set forth in the preceding sections of this Section 6.11, the Insurer is to be fully subrogated to the rights of such beneficiary to receive such payment, and the Insurer shall be reimbursed for any such payment, together with interest due thereon as provided under the Insurance Agreement, at the same level of priority which would have been afforded the beneficiary in the absence of such payment by the Insurer. Each party hereto further acknowledges and agrees that, to the extent CapMAC makes any payment to the applicable Swap Provider under any Swap Policy and such payment is not reimbursed by the Insurer or otherwise paid by the Insurer on CapMAC’s behalf, then CapMAC shall be fully subrogated to the rights of such Swap Provider to receive such payment, and shall be reimbursed for any such payment, together with interest thereon at the rate provided under the Insurance Agreement, at the same level of priority which would have been afforded the Swap Provider in the absence of such payment by CapMAC.

The Seller agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, 10 Business Days’ notice to the Seller of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification and that it shall be commercially reasonable for the Collateral Agent to sell the Purchased Assets on an as-is basis, without representation or warranty of any kind. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Purchased Assets regardless of notice of sale having been given and may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.

Each Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from, issue bonds and generally engage in any kind of business with Seller or any Affiliate of Seller as though such Agent were not an Agent hereunder. With respect to the Receivables Purchasers hereunder, the Collateral Agent and each Managing Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Receivables Purchase Agreement in its individual capacity as any Purchaser and may exercise the same as though it were not the Collateral Agent or a Managing Agent, and the term “Purchaser”, where applicable, shall include the Collateral Agent and each Managing Agent in its individual capacity.

SECTION 9.07. Reimbursement and Indemnification. The Purchasers agree to reimburse and indemnify the Collateral Agent, their respective Managing Agents and their respective officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents, to the extent not paid or reimbursed by the Seller (i) for any amounts for which the Collateral Agent or such Managing Agent, acting in its capacity as Collateral Agent or a Managing Agent, is entitled to reimbursement by the Seller hereunder and (ii) for any other expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent or such Managing Agent, in its capacity as Collateral Agent or a Managing Agent and acting on behalf of the relevant Purchasers, in connection with the administration and enforcement of this Receivables Purchase Agreement and the other Facility Documents.

SECTION 9.08. Successor Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent may, upon five Business Days’ notice to the Seller, each Managing Agent and each Purchaser, and the Collateral Agent will, upon the direction of all of the Managing Agents, resign as Collateral

Agent. If the Collateral Agent shall resign, then the Majority Managing Agents during such five Business Day period shall appoint from among the Purchasers and (other) Managing Agents a successor agent, provided that, unless an Event of Termination or Wind-Down Event has occurred and is continuing, such successor agent shall have been approved by the Seller (such approval not be to unreasonably withheld). If for any reason no successor Collateral Agent is appointed by the Majority Managing Agents during such five-day period, then the Collateral Agent shall not resign and shall continue to act as Collateral Agent. After the effectiveness of any retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder as Collateral Agent, the retiring Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Facility Documents and the provisions of this Article IX, and Article VIII shall continue in effect for its benefit with respect to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Collateral Agent under this Receivables Purchase Agreement and under the other Facility Documents.

If a Managing Agent shall resign, then such Purchasers during such five Business Day period shall appoint a successor agent, provided that, unless an Event of Termination or Wind-Down Event has occurred and is continuing, such successor agent shall have been approved by the Seller (such approval not be to unreasonably withheld). If for any reason no successor Managing Agent is appointed by the such Purchasers during such five Business Day period, then effective upon the termination of such period, Purchasers shall perform all of the duties of the resigning Managing Agent hereunder and under the other Facility Documents. After the effectiveness of any retiring Managing Agent’s resignation hereunder, the retiring Managing Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents and the provisions of this Article IX and Article VIII shall continue in effect for its benefit with respect to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was a Managing Agent under this Receivables Purchase Agreement and under the other Facility Documents.
