PURCHASE ARRANGEMENTS
Section 1.1Purchase Facility.
(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, Seller may, at its option, sell and assign Purchaser Interests to the Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers during the period from the date hereof to but not including the Facility Termination Date; provided that the aggregate Capital outstanding at any time hereunder shall not exceed (i) in respect of all Purchasers, an amount equal to the Purchase Limit at such time and (ii) in respect of any Purchase Group, the applicable Group Purchase Limit at such time. In accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Conduit Purchaser may, at its option, instruct its Managing Agent to cause the Agent to purchase on its behalf, or if any Conduit Purchaser shall decline to purchase, its Managing Agent shall cause the Agent to

purchase, on behalf of the Committed Purchasers in its Purchase Group, the applicable Purchase Group Share of such Purchaser Interests.
(b) Seller may, upon at least 10 Business Days’ notice to each Managing Agent and the Agent, terminate in whole or reduce in part, the unused portion of the Purchase Limit. Upon any reduction in the Purchase Limit, the Group Purchase Limits shall be permanently reduced by a corresponding amount (ratably among the Purchase Groups in accordance with the Purchase Group Shares) and the Commitments of each Committed Purchaser in each Purchase Group shall be ratably reduced in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Share. Each partial reduction of the Purchase Limit shall be in an amount equal to $1,000,000 or an integral multiple thereof.
(c) On the date of each Incremental Purchase made under Section 1.2 and on the date of each Reinvestment made under Section 2.2, Seller hereby sells and assigns to the Agent (for the benefit of the Purchasers ratably among the Purchase Groups, in accordance with each Purchase Group Share), and the Agent hereby purchases, for the benefit of such Purchasers, a Purchaser Interest in the Receivables, Related Security and Collections then existing and thereafter arising or existing, subject only to the payment by such Purchasers of the applicable Purchase Price therefor in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
Section 1.2Increases.
Seller shall provide the Agent and each Managing Agent with at least two (2) Business Days’ prior notice in a form set forth asExhibit II hereto of each Incremental Purchase (a “Purchase Notice”). Each Purchase Notice shall be subject toSection 6.2 hereof and, except as set forth below, shall be irrevocable and shall specify the requested Purchase Price (which shall not be less than $1,000,000) and date of purchase and, in the case of an Incremental Purchase to be funded by the Committed Purchasers, the requested Discount Rate and Tranche Period. Following receipt of a Purchase Notice, each Managing Agent will determine whether the Conduit Purchasers in its Purchase Group agree to make the purchase of the applicable Purchase Group Share of such Incremental Purchase. In the event that a Purchase Group has more than one Conduit Purchaser, the related Managing Agent shall allocate the Incremental Purchases among such Conduit Purchasers in its sole discretion. If the Conduit Purchasers in any Purchase Group decline to make a proposed purchase, the Managing Agent for the related Purchase Group shall notify Seller and Seller may cancel the Purchase Notice. In the absence of such a cancellation, the applicable Purchase Group Share of the requested Incremental Purchase will be made by the Committed Purchasers in such Purchase Group ratably based on their Pro Rata Shares. The Committed Purchasers in a Purchase Group will not fund any portion of an Incremental Purchase unless the Conduit Purchasers in its Purchase Group have declined to fund such portion. On the date of each Incremental Purchase, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions precedent set forth inArticle VI, the applicable Purchasers in each Purchase Group shall initiate a wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified by Seller, no later than 12:00 noon (Chicago time), an amount equal to the applicable Purchase Group Share of the applicable Purchase Price for such Incremental Purchase. There may not be more than ten (10) Incremental Purchases during any calendar month.

Page 2
from Collections. Such Reduction Notice shall designate (i) the date (the “Proposed Reduction Date”) upon which any such reduction of Aggregate Capital shall occur (which date shall give effect to the applicable Required Notice Period), and (ii) the amount of Aggregate Capital to be reduced (the “Aggregate Reduction”) which shall be distributed ratably to each Purchase Group based on the Purchase Group Share of the Aggregate Capital of each Purchase Group and which shall be applied by each Managing Agent ratably to the Purchaser Interests of the Purchasers in such Managing Agent’s Purchase Group ratably in accordance with the amount of Capital (if any) owing to such Purchasers. Only one (1) Reduction Notice shall be outstanding at any time.
Section 1.4Payment Requirements. All amounts to be paid or deposited by any Seller Party pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be paid or deposited in accordance with the terms hereof no later than 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time) on the day when due in immediately available funds, and if not received before 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time) shall be deemed to be received on the next succeeding Business Day. If such amounts are payable to a Purchaser they shall be paid to the applicable Managing Agent, for the account of such Purchaser, at the account specified by such Managing Agent. All computations of Yield, per annum fees hereunder and per annum fees under the Fee Letter shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days elapsed.

Collections applied to the payment of Aggregate Unpaids shall be distributed in accordance with the aforementioned provisions, and, giving effect to each of the priorities set forth in thisSection 2.4 above, shall be shared ratably (within each priority) among the parties described in such priority of application in accordance with the amount of such Aggregate Unpaids owing to each of them in respect of each such priority unless otherwise specified. Each Managing Agent shall distribute the amounts received pursuant toclauses (iii) and(iv)above to the Purchasers in its Purchase Group ratably according to the applicable amounts owed to such Purchasers. On and after the Amortization Date, in the event that applications of Collections are made on a date other than a Settlement Date, if any Managing Agent so directs the Agent, the Agent shall set aside from Collections for distribution to such Managing Agent on the next Settlement Date, the accrued and unpaid fees under the Fee Letter and accrued and unpaid Yield which are (or will be) due and payable to the Managing Agents and Purchasers in the related Purchase Group on the next Settlement Date.
Section 2.5Payment Rescission. No payment of any of the Aggregate Unpaids shall be considered paid or applied hereunder to the extent that, at any time, all or any portion of such payment or application is rescinded by application of law or judicial authority, or must otherwise be returned or refunded for any reason to the extent such payment is returned or refunded by any of the Agent, any Managing Agent, any Purchaser or any Indemnified Party.

From and after the date the Agent delivers to any Collection Bank a Collection Notice pursuant toSection 8.3, the Agent may request that the Servicer, and the Servicer thereupon promptly shall instruct all Obligors with respect to the Receivables, to remit all payments thereon to a new depositary account specified by the Agent and, at all times thereafter, Seller and the Servicer shall not deposit or otherwise credit, and shall not permit any other Person to deposit or otherwise credit to such new depositary account any cash or payment item other than Collections.

At any time after the occurrence of an Amortization Event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Agent shall have the absolute and unlimited right to direct the Servicer to commence or settle any legal action with respect to any Delinquent Receivable, Defaulted Receivable or Charged-Off Receivable or to foreclose upon or repossess any Related Security.

Seller hereby authorizes the Agent, and agrees that the Agent shall be entitled to (i) endorse Seller’s name on checks and other instruments representing Collections, (ii) enforce the Receivables, the related Contracts and the Related Security and (iii) take such action as shall be necessary or desirable to cause all cash, checks and other instruments constituting Collections of Receivables to come into the possession of the Agent rather than Seller.

(vi) the commingling of Collections of Receivables at any time with other funds;

(xii) any action or omission by the Seller which reduces or impairs the rights of the Agent, the Managing Agents or the Purchasers with respect to any Receivable or the value of any such Receivable;
(xiii) any attempt by any Person to void any Incremental Purchase or Reinvestment hereunder under statutory provisions or common law or equitable action; or
(xiv) the failure of any Receivable included in the calculation of the Net Receivables Balance as an Eligible Receivable to be an Eligible Receivable at the time so included.

Section 10.3Increased Cost and Reduced Return.
If after the date hereof, any Funding Source shall be charged any fee, expense or increased cost on account of the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation (including any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy) or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency (a “Regulatory Change”): (i) that subjects any Funding Source to any charge or withholding on or with respect to any Funding Agreement or a Funding Source’s obligations under a Funding Agreement, or on or with respect to the Receivables, or changes the basis of taxation of payments to any Funding Source of any amounts payable under any Funding Agreement (except for changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of a Funding Source or taxes excluded bySection 10.1) or (ii) that imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve, assessment, insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of a Funding Source, or credit extended by a Funding Source pursuant to a Funding Agreement or (iii) that imposes any other condition the result of which is to increase the cost to a Funding Source of performing its
Page 34
obligations under a Funding Agreement, or to reduce the rate of return on a Funding Source’s capital as a consequence of its obligations under a Funding Agreement, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by a Funding Source under a Funding Agreement or to require any payment calculated by reference to the amount of interests or loans held or interest received by it, then, within five (5) Business Days after demand by the applicable Managing Agent, Seller shall pay to the applicable Managing Agent, for the benefit of the relevant Funding Source, such amounts charged to such Funding Source or such amounts to otherwise compensate such Funding Source for such increased cost or such reduction, in each case, solely to the extent that such increased cost or such reduction is attributable to the financing, ownership, commitment to fund, funding or maintenance of any Purchaser Interest (as opposed to the assets generally held by the Indemnified Parties and not related to this Agreement, the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby).
Section 10.4Other Costs and Expenses. Seller shall pay to the Agent, the Managing Agents and the Purchasers within five (5) Business Days after demand all reasonable costs and out-of-pocket expenses in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby and the other documents to be delivered hereunder, including without limitation, the cost of the Conduit Purchasers’ auditors auditing the books, records and procedures of Seller (subject to the limitation set forth in Section 7.1(d)), reasonable fees of the ratings agencies, reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of legal counsel for each Conduit Purchaser, each Managing Agent and the Agent (which such counsel may be employees of such Conduit Purchaser, such Managing Agent or the Agent) with respect thereto and with respect to advising each Conduit Purchaser, each Managing Agent and the Agent as to their respective rights and remedies under this Agreement;provided that in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement, Seller shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of only one legal counsel for the Agent, the Managing Agent and the Purchasers party hereto on the date hereof,provided further that Seller shall not be responsible for the legal fees and expenses of more than one outside counsel (in addition to any local counsel) for all Persons entitled to payment of such fees and expenses under thisSection 10.4 unless, as reasonably determined by such Person or its counsel, representation of all such Persons by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests among them. Seller shall pay to the Agent, each Managing Agent and each Purchaser within five (5) Business Days after demand any and all costs and expenses of the Agent, such Managing Agent and the Purchasers, if any, including reasonable counsel fees and expenses in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement and the other documents delivered hereunder and in connection with any restructuring or workout of this Agreement or such documents, or the administration of this Agreement following an Amortization Event.
Section 10.5Accounting Based Consolidation Event. If an Accounting Based Consolidation Event shall at any time occur then, upon demand by the Agent or the applicable Managing Agent, the Seller shall pay to the Agent or such applicable Managing Agent, for the benefit of the relevant Affected Entity, such amounts as such Affected Entity reasonably determines will compensate or reimburse such Affected Entity for any resulting (i) fee, expense or increased cost charged to, incurred or otherwise suffered by such Affected Entity, (ii) reduction in the rate of return on such Affected Entity’s capital or reduction in the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Affected Entity or (iii) internal capital charge or other imputed cost determined by such Affected Entity to be allocable to the Seller or the transactions contemplated in this Agreement in connection therewith.

Page 35
Section 10.5 may be demanded at any time without regard to the timing of issuance of any financial statement by any Conduit or by any Affected Entity;provided, however, that in no event may any Affected Entity (or the applicable Agent or Managing Agent on its behalf) claim or receive reimbursement or compensation for amounts under thisSection 10.5 that would exceed 2.00% per annum on the Group Purchase Limit for the related Purchaser Group from the date such Accounting Based Consolidation Event occurs. If the Agent or any Managing Agent becomes or reasonably believes that it will become entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this subsection, it shall promptly notify the Borrower of the event by reason of which it has become or will become so entitled;provided that any failure to give such notice shall not affect the rights to demand payment under this section.
If any Affected Entity (or the applicable Agent or Managing Agent on its behalf) requests compensation under thisSection 10.5, then the Seller may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Affected Entity and its related Managing Agent, require the entire related Purchaser Group (but may not require less than all of the Purchasers and the Managing Agent in such Purchaser Group) to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained inSection 12.1), all of their interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to assignees that shall assume such obligations (which assignees may be other Purchasers if such Purchasers accept such assignment);provided that each such assigning Purchaser and Managing Agent receives payment in full, pursuant to an Assignment Agreement, of an amount equal to such Person’s share of the Aggregate Capital and Yield owing to such Purchaser and all accrued but unpaid fees and other costs and expenses payable in respect of such Purchaser Group’s share of the Purchaser Interests.10

Upon delivery of the executed Assignment Agreement to the Agent and the related Managing Agent, such selling Committed Purchaser shall be released from its obligations hereunder to the extent of such assignment.

Section 12.2Participations. Any Committed Purchaser may, in the ordinary course of its business at any time sell to one or more Persons (each a “Participant”) participating interests in its share of the Purchaser Interests, its Commitment or any other interest of such Committed Purchaser hereunder.

Page 42
proportion than that received by any other Purchaser entitled to receive a ratable share of such Aggregate Unpaids, such Purchaser agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase for cash without recourse or warranty a portion of such Aggregate Unpaids held by the other Purchasers so that after such purchase each Purchaser will hold its ratable proportion of such Aggregate Unpaids; provided that if all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from such Purchaser, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.
Section 13.4Protection of Ownership Interests of the Purchasers.
(a) Seller agrees that from time to time, at its expense, it will, or will cause the Servicer to, promptly execute and deliver all instruments and documents, and take all actions, that may be necessary or desirable, or that any Managing Agent may reasonably request, to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the Purchaser Interests, or to enable the Agent, the Managing Agents or the Purchasers to exercise and enforce their rights and remedies hereunder. At any time after the occurrence of an Amortization Event, the Agent may, or the Agent may direct Seller or the Servicer to, notify the Obligors of Receivables, at Seller’s expense, of the ownership or security interests of the Purchasers under this Agreement and may also direct that payments of all amounts due or that become due under any or all Receivables be made directly to the Agent or its designee. Seller or the Servicer (as applicable) shall, at any Purchaser’s request, withhold the identity of such Purchaser in any such notification.
(b) If any Seller Party fails to perform any of its material obligations hereunder, the Agent, any Managing Agent or any Purchaser may (but shall not be required to) perform, or cause performance of, such obligations, and the Agent’s, such Managing Agent’s or such Purchaser’s out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by Seller as provided inSection 10.4. Each Seller Party irrevocably authorizes the Agent at any time and from time to time in the sole discretion of the Agent, and appoints the Agent as its attorney-in-fact, to act on behalf of such Seller Party (i) to file financing statements necessary or desirable in the Agent’s sole discretion to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the interest of the Purchasers in the Receivables and (ii) to file a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement with respect to the Receivables as a financing statement in such offices as the Agent in its sole discretion deems necessary or desirable to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of the interests of the Purchasers in the Receivables.

For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from a Seller Party relating to any Seller Party or its business, other than any such information that is available to the Agent, any Managing Agent or any Purchaser on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by such Seller Party;provided that, in the case of information received from a Seller Party after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. Each Person recognizes its responsibility for compliance with United States federal securities laws, including insider trading, in connection herewith.
(b) Each Seller Party and each Purchaser shall maintain and shall cause each of its employees and officers to maintain the confidentiality of the Fee Letter, the Agent Fee Letter12and the other confidential or proprietary information with respect to the Agent, each Managing Agent, each Purchaser and their respective businesses obtained by it or them in connection with the structuring, negotiating and execution of the transactions contemplated herein, except that information may be disclosed (a) to such Person’s and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, or (d) to the extent such information (A) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (B) becomes available to any Seller Party or Purchaser on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Agent, a Managing Agent or a Purchaser or one of its Affiliates. If, in the reasonable judgment of any Seller Party, this Agreement or any Transaction Document shall be required to be publicly filed with the SEC under any applicable law, such Seller Party, or HBI on its behalf, may file any such document as required under applicable law. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Seller Party, each Purchaser, the Agent, each Managing Agent, each Indemnified Party and any successor or assign of any of the foregoing (and each employee, representative or other agent of any of the foregoing) may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the

Page 48
have the right to enforce the Seller’s rights and remedies under the Receivables Sale Agreement, to receive all amounts payable thereunder or in connection therewith, to consent to amendments, modifications or waivers thereof, and to direct, instruct or request any action thereunder, but in each case without any obligation on the part of the Agent, any Managing Agent or any Purchaser or any of its or their respective Affiliates to perform any of the obligations of the Seller under the Receivables Sale Agreement.

AGREEMENT dated as of November 27, 2007, by and among HBI Receivables LLC (“Seller”), Hanesbrands Inc. (“HBI”), individually and as Servicer (“Servicer”), JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Agent (“Agent”), and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“Depositary”).
The parties hereto refer to Schedule A for a list of the Post Office Box Numbers (the “Lockboxes”) and Account Numbers (the “Accounts”) in the name of Hanesbrands Inc. maintained at Depositary and hereby agree as follows:
1. | | HBI, Seller, Servicer and Agent notify Depositary that pursuant to that certain Receivables Sale Agreement, dated November 27, 2007 by and among HBI, as the seller thereunder, and Seller, as the purchaser thereunder, HBI has transferred all of its right, title and interest in and to, and exclusive ownership and control of, the Lockboxes and Accounts to Seller. Seller, Servicer and Agent notify Depositary that pursuant to that certain Receivables Purchase Agreement, dated November 27, 2007, among Seller, Servicer, the “Purchasers” party thereto, the “Managing Agents” party thereto and Agent, Seller has transferred to, and granted Agent a security interest in, the Lockboxes and all checks or other items deposited from time to time therein and in the Accounts and all funds on deposit from time to time therein. Depositary acknowledges being so notified. Depositary hereby agrees that as of the date hereof, the title and account holder of each Lockbox and each Account shall “HBI Receivables LLC”. |
|
2. | | (a) None of HBI, Seller or Servicer shall have any right to issue withdrawal, delivery or other instructions which it otherwise would be entitled to give under the Applicable Documentation (as hereinafter defined) with respect to the Lockboxes (collectively, “lockbox instructions”), other than with respect to routine administrative matters, or any other right or ability to control, access, pick up, withdraw or transfer items from the Lockboxes without Agent’s express written consent with respect thereto. On each business day (and without HBI’s, Seller’s, Servicer’s or any other person’s consent), Depositary shall open the mail delivered to the Lockboxes and deposit the checks and other items contained therein into the Accounts. |
|
| | (b) Prior to the Effective Time (as defined below) Depositary shall honor all withdrawal, payment, transfer or other fund disposition or other instructions which the Seller (or Servicer on Seller’s behalf) is entitled to give under the Applicable Documentation (as hereinafter defined) (collectively, “account instructions” and, together with lockbox instructions, “instructions”) received from the Seller or Servicer concerning the Accounts. On and after the Effective Time, Depositary shall exclusively honor and comply with all instructions received from Agent (but not those from HBI, Seller, Servicer or any other person) directing the disposition of the funds on deposit in the Accounts and otherwise concerning the Accounts without the consent of HBI, Seller, Servicer or any other person and none of HBI, Seller, Servicer or any other person shall have any right or ability to access, withdraw or transfer funds from the Accounts. |
|
| | For the purposes hereof, the “Effective Time” shall be the opening of business on the second business day next succeeding the business day on which a notice purporting to be signed by Agent in substantially the same form as Exhibit A, attached hereto, with a copy of this Agreement attached thereto (a “Shifting Control Notice”), is actually received by the individual employee of Depositary to whom the notice is required hereunder to be addressed or any employee succeeding such employees duties and responsibilities; provided, however, that if any such notice is so received after 12:00 noon, New York City time, on any business day, the “Effective Time” shall be the |
Page 1 of 7
| | opening of business on the third business day next succeeding the business day on which such receipt occurs; and, provided further, that a “business day” is any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which Depositary is or is authorized or required by law to be closed. |
|
| | Notwithstanding the foregoing: (i) all transactions involving or resulting in a transaction involving the Accounts duly commenced by Depositary or any affiliate prior to the Effective Time and so consummated or processed thereafter shall be deemed not to constitute a violation of this Agreement; and (ii) Depositary and/or any affiliate may (at its discretion and without any obligation to do so) (x) cease honoring Seller’s instructions and/or commence honoring solely Agent’s instructions concerning the Accounts at any time or from time to time after it becomes aware that Agent has sent to it a Shifting Control Notice but prior to the Effective Time therefor (including without limitation halting, reversing or redirecting any transaction referred to in clause (i) above), or (y) deem a Shifting Control Notice to be received by it for purposes of the foregoing paragraph prior to the specified individual’s actual receipt if otherwise actually received by Depositary (or if such Shifting Control Notice contains minor mistakes or other irregularities but otherwise substantially complies with the form attached hereto as Exhibit A or does not attach an appropriate copy of this Agreement), with no liability whatsoever to Seller or any other party for doing so. |
|
| | HBI, Seller, Servicer, Agent and Depositary agree that notwithstanding anything herein or elsewhere to the contrary, Agent, or any party designated in writing by Agent, shall be irrevocably entitled to exercise any and all rights in respect of, or in connection with, the Accounts without HBI’s, Seller’s, Servicer’s or any of Seller’s affiliate’s consent, including, without limitation, the right to give instructions directing the disposition of the funds in the Accounts and Depositary agrees to comply with such instructions. Each of HBI, Seller, Servicer and Agent agree that this Agreement grants “control” of the Accounts to Agent within the meaning of Section 9-104 of the UCC. |
|
3. | | This Agreement supplements, rather than replaces, Depositary’s deposit account agreement, terms and conditions, lockbox agreement and other standard documentation in effect from time to time with respect to the Lockboxes, the Accounts or the services provided in connection therewith (the “Applicable Documentation”), which Applicable Documentation will continue to apply to the Lockboxes, the Accounts and such services, and the respective rights, powers, duties, obligations, liabilities and responsibilities of the parties thereto and hereto, to the extent not expressly conflicting with the provisions of this Agreement (however, in the event of any such conflict, the provisions of this Agreement shall control). Prior to issuing any instructions on or after the Effective Time, Agent shall provide Depositary with such documentation as Depositary may reasonably request to establish the identity and authority of the individuals issuing instructions on behalf of Agent. Agent may request the Depositary to provide other services with respect to the Lockboxes or the Accounts on or after the Effective Time; however, if such services are not authorized or otherwise covered under the Applicable Documentation, Depositary’s decision to provide any such services shall be made in its sole discretion (including without limitation being subject to Seller and/or Agent executing such Applicable Documentation or other documentation as Depositary may require in connection therewith). |
|

|
6. | | Seller hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and save harmless Depositary against any loss, liability or expense (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel who may be an employee of Depositary) (collectively, “Covered Items”) incurred in connection with this Agreement, the Lockboxes or the Accounts (except to the extent due to Depositary’s willful misconduct or gross negligence) or any interpleader proceeding relating thereto or incurred at Seller’s direction or instruction. |
|
7. | | Depositary may terminate this Agreement (a) in its discretion upon the sending of at least thirty (30) days’ advance written notice to the other parties hereto or (b) because of a material breach by Seller or Agent of any of the terms of this Agreement or the Applicable Documentation, upon the sending of at least ten (10) days advance written notice to the other parties hereto. Agent may terminate this Agreement in its discretion upon the sending of at least three (3) days advance written notice to the other parties hereto. Any other termination or any amendment or waiver of this Agreement shall be effected solely by an instrument in writing executed by all the parties hereto.

|
8. | | Seller shall compensate Depositary for the opening and administration of the Lockboxes and the Accounts and services provided hereunder in accordance with Depositary’s fee schedules from time to time in effect. Payment will be effected by a direct debit to the Accounts. |
