PURCHASES AND REINVESTMENTS
---------------------------
SECTION 1.01. Commitments to Purchase; Limits on Purchaser's
Obligations. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of
this Agreement (including, without limitation, Article V), from
time to time prior to the Termination Date, Seller may request
that the Agent, for the benefit of Purchasers, purchase from
Seller ownership interests in Pool Receivables and Related
Assets, and each Purchaser severally agrees to fund its
Percentage of such purchase (each being a "Purchase"); provided
that no Purchase shall be funded by any Purchaser if, after
giving effect thereto, either (a) the then Purchasers' Total
Investments would exceed the lesser of (1) $100,000,000 and (2)
85% times the Net Pool Balance, (the "Purchase Limit"), or (b)
the Asset Interest, expressed as a percentage of Net Pool
Balance, would exceed 100% (the "Allocation Limit"), or (c)
such Purchaser's Investment would exceed such Purchaser's
Percentage of the Purchase Limit; and provided, further that
each Purchase made pursuant to this Section 1.01 shall have a
purchase price equal to at least $1,000,000 and shall be an
integral multiple of $100,000.
SECTION 1.02. Purchase Procedures; Assignment of Asset Interest.
(a) Notice of Purchase. Each Purchase from Seller shall be made
on notice from Seller to the Agent received by the Agent not
later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day
next preceding the date of such proposed Purchase. Each such
notice of a proposed Purchase shall be substantially in the
form of Exhibit 1.02(a) and shall specify the desired amount
and date of such Purchase.
(b) Funding of Purchase. On the date of each Purchase, each
Purchaser shall, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions
set forth in Article V, make available its Percentage of the
amount of the Purchase in same day funds, at the office of the
Agent, and after receipt by the Agent of such funds, the Agent
will make such funds immediately available by wire transfer to
an account designated in writing by Seller to the Agent.
(c) Assignment of Asset Interests. Seller hereby sells, assigns
and transfers to the Agent, for the account of the Purchasers,
effective on and as of the date of each Purchase hereunder, the
Asset Interest in the Pool Receivables and Related Assets.
SECTION 1.03. Reinvestments of Certain Collections; Payment of
Remaining Collections. (a) On the close of business on each
day during the period from the date of the first Purchase to
the Termination Date, Servicer will, out of all Collections
received on such day from Pool Receivables and Related Assets:
(i) determine the portion of the Collections attributable to
the Asset Interest by multiplying (A) the amount of such
Collections times (B) the lesser of (x) the Asset Interest and
(y) 100%;
(ii) out of the portion of such Collections allocated to the
Asset Interest pursuant to clause (i), set aside and hold in
trust for Purchasers (but, unless otherwise requested by the
Agent, shall not be required to segregate) an amount equal to
the sum of the estimated amount of Earned Discount accrued in
respect of each Asset Tranche (based on rate information
provided by the Agent pursuant to Section 2.05), all other
amounts due to Purchasers or the Agent hereunder and the
Servicer's Fee (in each case, accrued through such day) and not
so previously set aside;
(iii) apply the Collections allocated to the Asset Interest
pursuant to clause (i) and not required to be set aside
pursuant to clause (ii) to the purchase from Seller of
ownership interests in Pool Receivables and Related Assets
(each such purchase being a "Reinvestment"); provided that:
(A) if (I) the then Asset Interest would exceed the Allocation
Limit or (II) the then Purchasers' Total Investments would
exceed the Purchase Limit, then Servicer shall not reinvest,
but shall set aside and hold for the benefit of Purchasers, a
portion of such Collections which, together with other
Collections previously set aside and then so held, shall equal
the amount necessary to reduce the Purchasers' Total
Investments to the Purchase Limit and the Asset Interest to the
Allocation Limit; and
(B) if any of the conditions precedent to Reinvestment in clause
(a), (b) and (d) of Section 5.02 are not satisfied, then
Servicer shall not reinvest any of such remaining Collections,
but shall; set them aside and hold them in trust for the
benefit of Purchasers; and
(iv) pay to Seller (A) the portion of Collections not
allocated to the Asset Interest pursuant to clause (i) and (B)
the Collections applied to Reinvestment pursuant to clause
(iii).
(b) Unreinvested Collections. Servicer shall set aside and hold
in trust for the benefit of Purchasers all Collections which,
pursuant to clause (iii) of Section 1.03(a), may not be
reinvested in the Pool Receivables and Related Assets, provided
that unless otherwise requested by the Agent, such Collections
need not be held in a segregated account. If the Agent shall
so request in writing, then, within five (5) (or three (3), if
a Liquidation Event or Back-up Servicer Event has occurred and
is continuing) Business Days after receipt of each request,
Servicer shall apply such funds to reduce the Purchasers' Total
Investments in accordance with Section 1.03(c)(iii). If, prior
to the date when such Collections are required to be paid to
the Agent for the benefit of Purchasers pursuant to Section
1.03(c)(iii), the amount of Collections so set aside exceeds
the amount, if any, necessary to reduce the Purchasers' Total
Investments to the Purchase Limit and the Asset Interest to the
Allocation Limit, and the conditions precedent to Reinvestment
set forth in clauses (a), (b) and (d) of Section 5.02 are
satisfied, then the Servicer shall apply such Collections (or,
if less, a portion of such Collections equal to the amount of
such excess) to the making of a Reinvestment.
(c) Payment of Amounts Set Aside.
(i) Servicer shall pay all amounts of Collections set aside
pursuant to Section 1.03(a)(ii) and not applied pursuant to
clause (i) next above to the Agent on the Settlement Date for
each Settlement Period, as provided in Section 3.01, or on such
earlier date or dates as the Agent shall require on at least
one Business Day's written notice to Servicer.
(iii) Servicer shall pay all amounts set aside pursuant to
Section 1.03(b) to the Agent for the account of Purchasers on
the Settlement Date for each Settlement Period, as provided in
Section 3.01, on such earlier date or dates as the Agent shall
require on at least one Business Day's prior written notice to
Servicer.
(d) Funds Under Sale Agreement. Upon the written request of
the Agent given at any time when (A) based on the most recent
Information Package, the Asset Interest would exceed the
Allocation Limit or the Purchasers' Total Investments would
exceed the Purchase Limit, or (B) a Liquidation Event or
Unmatured Liquidation Event shall have occurred and be
continuing, Seller shall set aside all funds that under the
Sale Agreement would be applied to repay principal of any
Initial Purchaser Note (as defined in the Sale Agreement) owing
to any Originator and/or to make loans to any Originator
evidenced by an Originator Note (as defined in the Sale
Agreement). Seller may make withdrawals of such funds only for
the purposes of (i) at any time, purchasing Receivables from
the Originators in accordance with the Sale Agreement; (ii) on
the Settlement Date for any Settlement Period, making payments
in accordance with the last sentence of Section 3.01(c)(ii),
and (iii) on the Settlement Date for any Settlement Period, if,
on the basis of the most recent Information Package, and after
giving effect to any payment made to Servicer on such date
pursuant to the last sentence of Section 3.01(c)(ii), the
Purchasers' Total Investments does not exceed the Purchase
Limit and the Asset Interest does not exceed the Allocation
Limit, and provided that no Liquidation Event or Unmatured
Liquidation Event shall have occurred and be continuing, (x)
repaying principal of the Initial Purchaser Notes and/or (y)
making loans to the Originators evidenced by the Originator
Notes, in each case in accordance with this Agreement and the
Sale Agreement.
SECTION 1.04. Asset Interest. (a) Components of Asset
Interest. On any date the Asset Interest will represent the
undivided percentage ownership interest owned by the Agent, for
the benefit of Purchasers, in all then outstanding Pool
Receivables and all Related Assets with respect to such Pool
Receivables as at such date.
(b) Computation of Asset Interest. On any date, the Asset
Interest will be equal to a percentage, expressed as the
following fraction:
PTI + ACR + LCR + LR + DR
-------------------------
NPB
where:
PTI = the then Purchasers' Total Investments;
ACR = the then Accrued Cost Reserve;
LCR = the then Liquidation Cost Reserve;
LR = the then Loss Reserve;
DR = the then Dilution Reserve; and
NPB = the then Net Pool Balance;
provided, however, that the Asset Interest during the
Liquidation Period shall equal 100%.
(c) Frequency of Computation. The Asset Interest shall be
computed (i) as provided in Section 3.01, as of the Cut-Off
Date for each Settlement Period, and (ii) on the Settlement
Date following such Reporting Date, after giving effect to the
payments made pursuant to Section 3.01. In addition, at any
time, the Agent may require Servicer to provide an Information
Package, based on the information then available to Servicer,
for purposes of computing the Asset Interest or the Purchase
Limit as of any other date, and Servicer agrees to do so within
five (5) (or three (3), if a Liquidation Event or Back-up
Servicer Event has occurred and is continuing) Business Days of its
receipt of the Agent's request.
-------------------
ARTICLE II
COMPUTATIONAL RULES
-------------------
SECTION 2.01. Computation of Purchasers' Total Investments.
In making any determination of Purchasers' Total Investments,
the following rules shall apply:
(a) Purchasers' Total Investments shall not be considered
reduced by any allocation, setting aside or distribution of any
portion of Collections unless such Collections shall have been
actually delivered to the Agent pursuant hereto; and
(b) Purchasers' Total Investments shall not be considered
reduced by any distribution of any portion of Collections if at
any time such distribution is rescinded or must otherwise be
returned for any reason.
SECTION 2.02. Computation of Concentration Limits and Unpaid
Balance. The Obligor Concentration Limits and the aggregate
Unpaid Balance of Pool Receivables of any Obligor and its
Affiliated Obligors (if any) shall be calculated as if such
Obligor and its Affiliated Obligors were one Obligor.
SECTION 2.03. Computation of Earned Discount. In making any
determination of Earned Discount, the following rules shall
apply:
(a) the Agent shall determine the Earned Discount accruing
with respect to each Settlement Period, in accordance with the
definition of Earned Discount;
(b) no provision of this Agreement shall require the payment or
permit the collection of Earned Discount in excess of the
maximum permitted by applicable law; and
(c)Earned Discount shall not be considered paid by any
distribution if at any time such distribution is rescinded or
must otherwise be returned for any reason.
SECTION 2.04. Estimates of Earned Discount Rate, Fees, etc. For
purposes of determining the amounts required to be set aside by
Servicer pursuant to Section 1.03, the Agent shall notify
Servicer from time to time of the Earned Discount Rate
applicable to each Settlement Period and the rates at which
fees and other amounts are accruing hereunder. It is
understood and agreed that (i) the Earned Discount Rate may
change from one applicable Settlement Period to the next, and
the Alternate Base Rate, if applicable, used to calculate the
Earned Discount Rate may change from time to time during an
applicable Settlement Period,
(ii) certain rate information provided by the Agent to Servicer
shall be based upon the Agent's good faith estimate, (iii) the
amount of Earned Discount actually accrued during any
Settlement Period may exceed, or be less than, the amount set
aside with respect thereto by Servicer, and (iv) the amount of
fees or other payables accrued hereunder with respect to any
Settlement Period may exceed, or be less than, the amount set
aside with respect thereto by Servicer. Failure to set aside
any amount so accrued shall not relieve Servicer of its
obligation to remit Collections to the Agent with respect to
such accrued amount, as and to the extent provided in Section
3.01.
-----------
ARTICLE III
SETTLEMENTS
-----------
SECTION 3.01.Settlement Procedures.
The parties hereto will take the following actions with respect
to each Settlement Period:
(a) Information Package. On the Reporting Date for each Fiscal
Month, Servicer shall deliver to the Agent a diskette
containing the information described in Exhibit 3.01(a) and a
report in the form of Exhibit 3.01(a) (each, an "Information
Package").
(b) Earned Discount; Other Amounts Due. On or before 10:00
a.m., Minneapolis, Minnesota time, on the Business Day before
each Reporting Date, the Agent shall notify Servicer of (i) the
amount of Earned Discount accrued during the prior calendar
month, and (ii) all fees and other amounts accrued and payable
by Seller under this Agreement (other than amounts described in
clause (c) below). Servicer shall pay to the Agent the amount
of such Earned Discount, fees and other amounts (to the extent
of Collections attributable to the Asset Interest during such
Settlement Period and not previously paid to the Agent or
reinvested pursuant to Section 1.03) on the Settlement Date for
such month. Such payment shall be made (A) out of amounts set
aside pursuant to Section 1.03 for such payment, (B) in the
case of amounts other than Earned Discount, to the extent that
amounts were not set aside pursuant to Section 1.03 for such
payment, out of funds paid by Servicer to Seller (which amounts
Seller hereby agrees to pay to Servicer), and (C) in the case
of Earned Discount, to the extent that funds were not set aside
pursuant to Section 1.03 for such payment (because the actual
Earned Discount for such month was greater than the estimated
Earned Discount used in calculating the Asset Interest during
such month), out of funds paid by Servicer to Seller (which
amounts Seller hereby agrees to pay to Servicer), up to the
aggregate amount of Collections applied to Reinvestment under
Section 1.03(a) or (b) during such month.
(c) Asset Interest Computations.
(i) On the Reporting Date for each Settlement Period, the
Servicer shall compute, as of the related Cut-Off Date and
based upon the assumptions in the next sentence, (A) the Asset
Interest, (B) the amount of the reduction or increase (if any)
in the Asset Interest since the next preceding Cut-Off Date,
(C) the excess (if any) of the Asset Interest over the
Allocation Limit, and (D) the excess (if any) of the
Purchasers' Total Investments over the Purchase Limit. Such
calculation shall be based upon the assumptions that (x) the
information in the Information Package is correct, and (y)
Collections set aside pursuant to Section 1.03(b) will be paid
to the Agent on the Settlement Date for such Settlement Period.
(ii) If, according to the computations made pursuant to clause
(i) above, the Asset Interest exceeds the Allocation Limit or
the Purchasers' Total Investments exceeds the Purchase Limit,
then on the Settlement Date for such Settlement Period,
Servicer shall pay to the Agent (to the extent of Collections
during the related Settlement Period attributable to all Asset
Tranches and not previously paid to the Agent) the amount
necessary to reduce the Purchasers' Total Investments to the
Purchase Limit and the Asset Interest to the Allocation Limit,
subject, however, to the proviso to Section 1.03(c)(iii). Such
payment shall be made out
of amounts set aside pursuant to Section 1.03 for such purpose
and, to the extent such amounts were not so set aside, the
Seller hereby agrees to pay such amounts to the Servicer to the
extent of Collections applied to Reinvestment under Section
1.03 during the relevant Settlement Period.
(iii) In addition to the payments described in clause (ii)
above, during the Liquidation Period, Servicer shall pay to the
Agent all amounts set aside pursuant to Section 1.03 on the
Settlement Date for each Settlement Period, in an amount not
exceeding the remaining Purchasers' Total Investments.
(d) Order of Application. Upon receipt by the Agent of funds
distributed pursuant to this Section 3.01 on the Settlement
Date with respect to any Settlement Period, the Agent shall
apply them to the items specified in the subclauses below, in
the order of priority of such subclauses:
(i) to Earned Discount accrued during such Settlement Period,
plus any previously accrued Earned Discount not paid on a prior
Settlement Date;
(ii) to accrued and unpaid Servicer's Fee (if Servicer is not
Seller or its Affiliate);
(iii) to the Program Fee and the Administrative Fee accrued
during such Settlement Period, plus any previously accrued
Program Fee and the Administrative Fee not paid on a prior
Settlement Date;
(iv) to the reduction of Purchasers' Total Investments, to the
extent such reduction is required under Section 3.01(c);
(v) to other accrued and unpaid amounts owing to any Purchaser
or the Agent; and
(vi) to accrued and unpaid Servicer's Fee (if Servicer is
Seller or its Affiliate).
(e) Non-Distribution of Servicer's Fee. If the Agent consents
(which consent may be revoked at any time after the occurrence
and during the continuance of a Liquidation Event or Back-up
Servicer Event), the amounts (if any) set aside pursuant to
Section 1.03 in respect of Servicer's Fee may be retained by
Servicer, in which case no distribution shall be made in
respect of Servicer's Fee pursuant to clause (d) above.
(f) Delayed Payment. If on any day described in this
Section 3.01, because Collections during the relevant
Settlement Period were less than the aggregate amounts payable,
Servicer shall not make any payment otherwise required, the
next available Collections in respect of the Asset Interest
shall be applied to such payment, and no Reinvestment shall be
permitted hereunder until such amount payable has been paid in
full.
SECTION 3.02. Deemed Collections; Reduction of Purchasers' Total
Investments, Etc.
(a) Deemed Collections. If on any day
(i) the Unpaid Balance of any Pool Receivable is
(A) reduced as a result of any defective, rejected or returned
merchandise or services, any cash discount, or any other
adjustment by any Seller Party or any Affiliate of any thereof,
(B) reduced or cancelled as a result of a setoff in respect of
any claim by the Obligor thereof (whether such claim arises out
of the same or a related or an unrelated transaction), or
(C) reduced on account of the obligation of any Seller Party or
any Affiliate thereof to pay to the related Obligor any rebate
or refund, or
(D) less than the amount included in calculating the Net Pool
Balance for purposes of any Information Package (for any reason
other than such Receivable becoming a Defaulted Receivable), or
(ii) any of the representations or warranties of Seller set
forth in Section 6.01(l) or (p) were not true when made with
respect to any Pool Receivable, or any of the representations
or warranties of Seller set forth in Section 6.01(l) are no
longer true with respect to any Pool Receivable, or any Pool
Receivable is repurchased by an Originator pursuant to the Sale
Agreement,
then, on such day, Seller shall be deemed to have received a
Collection of such Pool Receivable
(I) in the case of clause (i) above, in the amount of such
reduction or cancellation or the difference between the actual
Unpaid Balance and the amount included in calculating such Net
Pool Balance, as applicable; and
(II) in the case of clause (ii) above, in the amount of the
Unpaid Balance of such Pool Receivable.
Collections deemed received by Seller under this Section
3.02(a) are herein referred to as "Deemed Collections".
(b) Seller's Optional Reduction of Purchasers' Total
Investments. Seller may at any time elect to reduce the
Purchasers' Total Investments as follows:
(i) Seller shall give the Agent at least five (5) Business
Days' prior written notice of such reduction (including the
amount of such proposed reduction and the proposed date on
which such reduction will commence),
(ii) on the proposed date of commencement of such reduction
and on each day thereafter, Servicer shall refrain from
reinvesting Collections pursuant to Section 1.03 until the
amount thereof not so reinvested shall equal the desired amount
of reduction, and
(iii) Servicer shall hold such Collections in trust for
Purchasers, pending payment to the Agent, as provided in
Section 1.03;
provided that:
(A) the amount of any such reduction shall be not less than
$5,000,000 and shall be an integral multiple of $1,000,000, and
(B) Seller shall use reasonable efforts to attempt to choose a
reduction amount, and the date of commencement thereof, so that
such reduction shall commence and conclude in the same
Settlement Period.
SECTION 3.03. Payments and Computations, Etc.
(a) Payments. All amounts to be paid or deposited by Seller or
Servicer to the Agent or any other Person hereunder (other than
amounts payable under Section 4.02) shall be paid or deposited in
accordance with the terms hereof no later than 10:00 a.m. (New
York City time) on the day when due in lawful money of the
United States of America in same day funds to the Agent at its
office in Minneapolis, Minnesota or, to such account as the
Agent may designate by written notice to the Person making such
payment. Promptly upon receipt by the Agent of amounts in
respect of Earned Discount on Purchasers' Total Investments,
the Agent shall distribute such amounts to Purchasers, pro rata
in accordance with their Percentages, to such accounts
designated in writing to the Agent.
(b) Late Payments. Seller or Servicer, as applicable, shall, to
the extent permitted by law, pay to the Agent interest on all
amounts not paid or deposited when due hereunder at 1% per
annum above the Alternate Base Rate, payable on demand,
provided, however, that such interest rate shall not at any
time exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law.
(c) Method of Computation. All computations of interest, Earned
Discount, Liquidation Discount, any fees payable under Section
4.01 and any other fees payable by Seller to any Purchaser or
the Agent hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360
days for the actual number of days (including the first day but
excluding the last day) elapsed.
SECTION 3.04. Treatment of Collections and Deemed Collections.
Seller shall forthwith deliver to Servicer all Deemed
Collections, and Servicer shall hold or distribute such Deemed
Collections as Earned Discount, accrued Servicer's Fee,
repayment of Purchasers' Total Investments, and to other
accrued amounts owing hereunder to the same extent as if such
Deemed Collections had actually been received on the date of
such delivery to Servicer. If Collections are then being paid

SECTION 4.02.Yield Protection.
(a) If (i) Regulation D or (ii) any Regulatory Change
occurring after the date hereof
(A) shall subject an Affected Party to any tax, duty or other
charge with respect to any Asset Interest owned by or funded by

Reinvestments or to provide funding therefor, or shall change
the basis of taxation of payments to the Affected Party of any
Purchasers' Total Investments or Earned Discount owned by, owed
to or funded in whole or in part by it or any other amounts due
under this Agreement in respect of the Asset Interest owned by
or funded by it or its obligations or rights, if any, to make
Purchases or Reinvestments or to provide funding therefor
(except for changes in the rate of tax on or determined by
reference to the overall net income of such Affected Party
imposed by the United States of America, by the jurisdiction in
which such Affected Party's principal executive office is
located and, if such Affected Party's principal executive
office is not in the United States of America, by the
jurisdiction where such Affected Party's principal office in
the United States is located); or
(B) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve
(including, without limitation, any reserve imposed by the
Federal Reserve Board, but excluding any reserve included in
the determination of Earned Discount), special deposit or
similar requirement against assets of any Affected Party,
deposits or obligations with or for the account of any Affected
Party or with or for the account of any affiliate (or entity
deemed by the Federal Reserve Board to be an affiliate) of any
Affected Party, or credit extended by any Affected Party; or
(C) shall change the amount of capital maintained or required or
requested or directed to be maintained by any Affected Party;

or Reinvestments or to provide funding therefor; or
(E) shall change the rate for, or the manner in which the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (or a successor thereto)
assesses, deposit insurance premiums or similar charges;
and the result of any of the foregoing is or would be
(x) to increase the cost to (or in the case of Regulation D
referred to above, to impose a cost on) (I) an Affected Party
funding or making or maintaining any Purchases or
Reinvestments, or any commitment of such Affected Party with
respect to any of the foregoing, or (II) the Agent for
continuing its or Seller's relationship with any Purchaser,
(y) to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by an
Affected Party under this Agreement, or
(z) in the reasonable determination of such Affected Party, to
reduce the rate of return on the capital of an Affected Party
as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or arising in
connection herewith to a level below that which such Affected
Party could otherwise have achieved,
then, within thirty days after demand by such Affected Party
(which demand shall be accompanied by a certificate setting
forth the basis of such demand and a calculation of the amounts
claimed by the Affected Party), Seller shall pay directly to
such Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as will
compensate such Affected Party for such additional or increased
cost or such reduction.
(b) Each Affected Party will promptly notify Seller and the
Agent of any event of which it has knowledge (including any
future event that, in the judgment of such Affected Party, is
reasonably certain to occur) which will entitle such Affected
Party to compensation pursuant to this Section 4.02; provided, however, no
failure to give or delay in giving such notification shall
adversely affect the rights of any Affected Party to such
compensation.
(c) In determining any amount provided for or referred to in
this Section 4.02, an Affected Party may use any reasonable
averaging and attribution methods (consistent with its ordinary
business practices) that it (in its reasonable discretion)
shall deem applicable. Any Affected Party when making a claim
under this Section 4.02 shall submit to Seller a certificate as
to such increased cost or reduced return (including calculation
thereof in reasonable detail), which statement shall, in the
absence of demonstrable error, be conclusive and binding upon
Seller.
(d) If at any time, the Seller is required to pay any material
amount to an Affected Party pursuant to this Section 4.02, then
upon request by Seller, such Affected Party shall make all
reasonable efforts to transfer (pursuant to documentation
reasonably satisfactory to the Agent) its rights and
obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents to another branch or office of such Affected Party
satisfactory to the Agent, and to take such other steps as may
be available, so that the payment under this Section 4.02 would
no longer by required or the amount of such payment would be
reduced; provided, however, no Affected Party shall be required
under this paragraph (d) to take any action which (A) would be
inconsistent with applicable law or regulations or with such
Affected Party's internal policies or (b) in the judgment of
such Affected Party, would be materially disadvantageous to
such Affected Party.
SECTION 4.03. Funding Losses. In the event that any Purchaser
shall incur any loss or expense (including any loss or expense
incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of
deposits or other funds acquired by such Purchaser to make any
Purchase or maintain any Purchase) as a result of (i) any
settlement with respect to Purchasers' Total Investments being
made on any day other a Settlement Date, or (ii) any Purchase
not being made in accordance with a request therefor under
Section 1.02, then, upon written notice from the Agent to
Seller and Servicer, Seller shall pay to Servicer, and Servicer
shall pay to the Agent for the Account of such Purchaser, the
amount of such loss or expense. Such written notice (which
shall include calculations in reasonable detail) shall, in the
absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding upon the
Seller and Servicer.

SECTION 7.04. Separate Corporate Existence of Seller. Each
Seller Party hereby acknowledges that each Purchaser and the
Agent are entering into the transactions contemplated hereby in
reliance upon Seller's identity as a legal entity separate from
Servicer and its other Affiliates. Therefore, each Seller
Party shall take all steps specifically required by the Agent
to continue Seller's identity as a separate legal entity and to
make it apparent to third Persons that Seller is an entity with
assets and liabilities distinct from those of its Affiliates,
and is not a division of InaCom or any other Person. Without
limiting the foregoing, each Seller Party will take such
actions as shall be required in order that:
(i) Seller will be a limited purpose corporation whose primary
activities are restricted in its Certificate of Incorporation
to purchasing or otherwise acquiring from the Originators,
owning, holding, granting security interests, or selling
interests, in Pool Assets, entering into agreements for the
selling and servicing of the Receivables Pool, and conducting
such other activities as it deems necessary or appropriate to
carry out its primary activities;
(ii) Not less than one member of Seller's Board of Directors
(the "Independent Director") shall be an individual who is not,
and never has been, a direct, indirect or beneficial
stockholder, officer, director, employee, affiliate, associate,
material supplier or material customer of InaCom or any of its
Affiliates. The certificate of incorporation of Seller shall
provide that (i) Seller's Board of Directors shall not approve,
or take any other action to cause the filing of, a voluntary
bankruptcy petition with respect to Seller unless the
Independent Director shall approve the taking of such action in
writing prior to the taking of such action and (ii) such
provisions cannot be amended without the prior written consent
of the Independent Director;
(iii) The Independent Director shall not at any time serve as
a trustee in bankruptcy for Seller or any Affiliate thereof;
(iv) Any employee, consultant or agent of Seller will be
compensated from Seller's funds for services provided to
Seller. Seller will not engage any agents other than its
attorneys, auditors and other professionals, and a servicer and
any other agent contemplated by the Transaction Documents for
the Receivables Pool, which servicer will be fully compensated
for its services by payment of the Servicer's Fee;
(v) Seller will contract with Servicer to perform for Seller
all operations required on a daily basis to service the
Receivables Pool. Seller will pay Servicer the Servicer's Fee
pursuant hereto. Seller will not incur any material indirect
or overhead expenses for items shared with InaCom (or any other
Affiliate thereof) which are not reflected in the Servicer's
Fee. To the extent, if any, that Seller (or any other
Affiliate thereof) share items of expenses not reflected in the
Servicer's Fee, for legal, auditing and other professional
services and directors' fees, such expenses will be allocated
to the extent practical on the basis of actual use or the value
of services rendered, and otherwise on a basis reasonably
related to the actual use or the value of services rendered, it
being understood that InaCom shall pay all expenses relating to
the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of the
Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, legal,
agency and other fees;
(vi) Seller's operating expenses will not be paid by any other
Seller Party or other Affiliate of Seller;
(vii) Seller will have its own stationery;
(viii) The books of account report's financial and
corporate records of Seller will be maintained separately from
those of Servicer and any other Affiliate of Seller;
(ix) Any financial statements of any Seller Party or
Affiliate thereof which are consolidated to include Seller will
contain detailed notes clearly stating that (A) all of Seller's
assets are owned by Seller, and (B) Seller is a separate
corporate entity with its own separate creditors that will be
entitled to be satisfied out of Seller's assets prior to any
value in Seller becoming available to Seller's equity holders;
and the accounting records and the published financial
statements of the Originators will clearly show that, for
accounting purposes, the Pool Assets have been sold by the
Originators to the Seller;
(x) Seller's assets will be maintained in a manner that
facilitates their identification and segregation from those of
Servicer and the other Affiliates;
(xi) Each Affiliate of Seller will strictly observe
corporate formalities in its dealings with Seller, and funds or
other assets of Seller will not be commingled with those of any
of its Affiliates;
(xii) No Affiliate of Seller will maintain joint bank
accounts with Seller or other depository accounts with Seller
to which any such Affiliate (other than in its capacity as the
Servicer hereunder or under the Sale Agreement) has independent
access;
(xiii) No Affiliate of Seller shall, directly or indirectly,
name Seller or enter into any agreement to name Seller as a
direct or contingent beneficiary or loss payee on any insurance
policy covering the property of any Affiliate of Seller;
(xiv) No Affiliate of Seller will at any time pool any of
its funds with any funds of Seller;
(xv) Each Affiliate of Seller will maintain arm's-length
relationships with Seller, and each Affiliate of Seller that
renders or otherwise furnishes services or merchandise to
Seller will be compensated by Seller at market rates for such
services or merchandise;
(xvi) No Affiliate of Seller will be, nor will it hold
itself out to be, responsible for the debts of Seller or the
decisions or actions in respect of the daily business and
affairs of Seller. InaCom and Seller will immediately correct
any known misrepresentation with respect to the foregoing and
they will not operate or purport to operate as an integrated
single economic unit with respect to each other or in their
dealing with any other entity; and
(xvii) Seller will keep correct and complete books and records
of account and minutes of the meetings and other proceedings of
its stockholder and board of directors, as applicable, and the
resolutions, agreements and other instruments of Seller will be
continuously maintained as official records by Seller; and
(xviii) Each of Seller, on the one hand, and the Originators,
on the other hand, will conduct its business solely in its own
corporate name and in such a separate manner so as not to
mislead others with whom they are dealing.
SECTION 7.05 Financial Covenants. From the date hereof until
the Final Payout Date, InaCom will:
(a) Tangible Net Worth. Maintain a Tangible Net Worth of not
less than $90,000,000.
(b) Liabilities to Tangible Net Worth. Not permit the ratio
of Total Liabilities to Tangible Net Worth to exceed 6.0 to
1.0.
(c) Losses. Not incur losses greater than 8% of Tangible Net
Worth in any fiscal quarter.
(d) Consecutive Losses. Not incur losses in any three (3)
consecutive fiscal quarters.
(e) Receivables Outstanding Ratio. Not permit the Receivables
Outstanding Ratio to exceed 45 days.
For purposes of all calculations with respect to the foregoing
financial covenants, InaCom will include the Receivables as
assets and the Purchasers' Total Investment as short term debt.

ARTICLE VIII
ADMINISTRATION AND COLLECTION
-----------------------------
SECTION 8.01.Designation of Servicer.
(a) InaCom as Initial Servicer. The servicing, administering
and collection of the Pool Receivables shall be conducted by
the Person designated as Servicer hereunder from time to time
in accordance with this Section 8.01. Until the Agent gives to
InaCom a Successor Notice (as defined in Section 8.01(b)),
InaCom is hereby designated as, and hereby agrees to perform
the duties and obligations of, Servicer pursuant to the terms
hereof.
(b) Successor Notice; Servicer Transfer Events. Upon InaCom's
receipt of a notice from the Agent of the Agent's designation
of a new Servicer (a "Successor Notice"), InaCom agrees that it
will terminate its activities as Servicer hereunder in a manner
that the Agent believes will facilitate the transition of the
performance of such activities to the new Servicer, and the
Agent (or its designee) shall assume each and all of InaCom's
obligations to service and administer such Receivables, on the
terms and subject to the conditions herein set forth, and
InaCom shall use its best efforts to assist the Agent (or its
designee) in assuming such obligations. The Agent agree not to
give InaCom a Successor Notice until after the occurrence and
during the continuance of any Liquidation Event (any such
Liquidation Event being herein called a "Servicer Transfer
Event"), in which case such Successor Notice may be given at
any time in the Agent's discretion. If InaCom disputes the
occurrence of a Servicer Transfer Event, InaCom may take
appropriate action to resolve such dispute; provided that
InaCom must terminate its activities hereunder as Servicer and
allow the newly designated Servicer to perform such activities
on the date provided by the Agent as described above,
notwithstanding the commencement or continuation of any
proceeding to resolve the aforementioned dispute, if the Agent
reasonably determines, in good faith, that such termination is
necessary or advisable to protect Purchasers' interests
hereunder.
(c) Subcontracts. Servicer may, with the prior consent of the
Agent, subcontract with any other Person for servicing,
administering or collecting the Pool Receivables, provided that
Servicer shall remain liable for the performance of the duties
and obligations of Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof and
such subservicing arrangement may be terminated at the Agent's
request at anytime after a Successor Notice has been given.
(d) Back-up Servicer. Within thirty (30) days after the request
of the Agent made after the occurrence of a Back-up Servicer
Event, InaCom shall enter into a back-up servicing agreement,
in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent, with a back-up
servicer experienced in servicing portfolios similar to the
Pool Receivables who is acceptable to the Agent.
SECTION 8.02.Duties of Servicer.
(a) Appointment; Duties in General. Each of Seller, each
Purchaser and the Agent hereby appoints as its agent Servicer,
as from time to time designated pursuant to Section 8.01, to
enforce its rights and interests in and under the Pool
Receivables, the Related Security and the related Contracts.
Servicer shall take or cause to be taken all such actions as
may be necessary or advisable to collect each Pool 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.
(b) Allocation of Collections; Segregation. Servicer shall set
aside for the account of Seller and Purchasers their respective
allocable shares of the Collections of Pool Receivables in
accordance with Section 1.03 but shall not be required (unless
otherwise requested by the Agent) to segregate the funds
constituting such portions of such Collections prior to the
remittance thereof in accordance with said Sections. If
instructed by the Agent, within five (5) (or three (3), if a
Liquidation Event or Back-up Servicer Event has occurred and is
continuing) Business Days of receipt by Servicer of such
instruction, Servicer shall segregate and deposit with a bank
designated by the Agent, with the approval of the Agent,
Purchasers' share of Collections of Pool Receivables, on the
first Business Day following receipt by Servicer of such
Collections in immediately available funds.
(c) Modification of Receivables. So long as no Liquidation
Event and no Unmatured Liquidation Event shall have occurred
and be continuing, InaCom, while it is Servicer, may, in
accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy, (i) extend
the maturity or adjust the Unpaid Balance of any Defaulted
Receivable as InaCom may reasonably determine to be appropriate
to maximize Collections thereof, provided that no Receivable
may be extended for more than 150 days, and (ii) adjust the
Unpaid Balance of any Receivable to reflect the reductions or
cancellations described in the first sentence of Section
3.02(a).
(d) Documents and Records. Each Seller Party shall deliver to
Servicer, and Servicer shall hold in trust for Seller and
Purchasers in accordance with their respective interests, all
documents, instruments and records (including, without
limitation, computer tapes or disks) that evidence or relate to
Pool Receivables.
(e) Certain Duties to Seller. Servicer shall, as soon as
practicable following receipt, turn over to Seller (i) that
portion of Collections of Pool Receivables representing its
undivided percentage interest therein, less, in the event that
neither InaCom nor any other Seller Party or Affiliate thereof
is Servicer, all reasonable and appropriate out-of-pocket costs
and expenses of Servicer of servicing, collecting and
administering the Pool Receivables to the extent not covered by
the Servicer's Fee received by it, and (ii) the Collections of
any Receivable which is not a Pool Receivable. Servicer, if
other than InaCom or any other Seller Party or Affiliate
thereof, shall, as soon as practicable upon demand, deliver to
Seller all documents, instruments and records in its possession
that evidence or relate to Receivables of Seller other than
Pool Receivables, and copies of documents, instruments and
records in its possession that evidence or relate to Pool
Receivables.
(f) Termination. Servicer's authorization under this Agreement
shall terminate upon the Final Payout Date.
(g) Power of Attorney. Seller hereby grants to Servicer an
irrevocable power of attorney, with full power of substitution,
coupled with an interest, to take in the name of Seller all
steps which are necessary or advisable to endorse, negotiate or
otherwise realize on any writing or other right of any kind
held or transmitted by Seller or transmitted or received by the
Agent or any Purchaser (whether or not from Seller) in
connection with any Receivable.
SECTION 8.03. Rights of the Agent.
(a) Notice to Obligors. At any time when a Liquidation Event
has occurred and is continuing, the Agent may notify the
Obligors of Pool Receivables, or any of them, of the ownership
of the Asset Interest by the Agent, for the benefit of
Purchasers.
(b) Notice to Lock-Box Banks. At any time following the earlier
to occur of (i) the occurrence of a Liquidation Event and
(ii) the warranty in Section 6.01(i)(x) shall no longer be
true, the Agent is hereby authorized to give notice to the Lock-
Box Banks, as provided in the Lock-Box Agreements and Lock-Box
Notices, of the transfer to the Agent of dominion and control
over the lock-boxes and related accounts to which the Obligors
of Pool Receivables make payments. Seller and Servicer hereby
transfer to the Agent, effective when the Agent shall give
notice to the Lock-Box Banks as provided in the Lock-Box
Agreements and Lock-Box Notices, the exclusive dominion and
control over such lock-boxes and accounts, and shall take any
further action that the Agent may reasonably request to effect
such transfer.
(c) Rights on Servicer Transfer Event. At any time following
the designation of a Servicer other than InaCom pursuant to
Section 8.01:

any of them, to pay all amounts payable under any Pool
Receivable directly to the Agent or its designee.
(ii) Any Seller Party shall, at the Agent's request and at
such Seller Party's expense, give notice of the Agent's, for
the benefit of the Purchasers, ownership and security interests
in the Pool Receivables to each said Obligor and direct that
payments be made directly to the Agent or its designee.
(iii) Each Seller Party shall, at the Agent's request, (A)
assemble all of the documents, instruments and other records
(including, without limitation, computer programs, tapes and
disks) which evidence the Pool Receivables, and the related
Contracts and Related Security, or which are otherwise
necessary or desirable to collect such Pool Receivables, and
make the same available to the successor Servicer at a place
selected by the Agent, and (B) segregate all cash, checks and
other instruments received by it from time to time constituting
Collections of Pool Receivables in a manner acceptable to the
Agent and promptly upon receipt, remit all such cash, checks
and instruments, duly endorsed or with duly executed
instruments of transfer, to the successor Servicer.
(iv) Each Seller Party and each Purchaser hereby authorizes
the Agent, and grants to the Agent an irrevocable power of
attorney (which shall terminate on the Final Payout Date), to
take any and all steps in such Seller Party's name and on
behalf of Seller Parties and Purchasers which are necessary or
desirable, in the determination of the Agent, to collect all
amounts due under any
and all Pool Receivables, including, without limitation,
endorsing any Seller Party's name on checks and other
instruments representing Collections and enforcing such Pool
Receivables and the related Contracts.
SECTION 8.04. Responsibilities of Seller Parties. Anything
herein to the contrary notwithstanding:
(a) Contracts. Each Seller Party shall perform all of its
obligations (if any) under the Contracts related to the Pool
Receivables and under the related purchase orders and other
agreements to the same extent as if the Asset Interest had not
been sold hereunder, and the exercise by the Agent or its
designee of its rights hereunder shall not relieve any Seller
Party from such obligations.
(b) Limitation of Liability. None of the Agent nor any
Purchaser shall not have any obligation or liability with
respect to any Pool Receivables, Contracts related thereto or
any other related purchase orders or other agreements (other
than liability resulting from their gross negligence or willful
misconduct), nor shall any of them be obligated to perform any
of the obligations of any Seller Party or any Originator
thereunder.
SECTION 8.05. Further Action Evidencing Purchases and

order to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the Purchases
hereunder and the resulting Asset Interest, or to enable any
Purchaser or the Agent or its designee to exercise or enforce
any of their respective rights hereunder or under any
Transaction Document in respect thereof. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, each Seller Party will:
(i) upon the request of the Agent, 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, in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement;

Seller Party fails to promptly execute and deliver to the Agent
any financing statement or continuation statement or amendment
thereto or assignment thereof requested by the Agent, each
Seller Party hereby authorizes the Agent to execute such
statement on behalf of such Seller Party. If any Seller Party
fails to perform any
of its agreements or obligations under this Agreement, the
Agent or its designee may (but shall not be required to) itself
perform, or cause performance of, such agreement or obligation,
and the reasonable expenses of the Agent or its designee
incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the Seller
Parties as provided in Section 14.05.

generality of subsection (a), Seller will, not earlier than six

fifth anniversary of the date of filing of the financing
statements referred to in Section 5.01(f) or any other
financing statement filed pursuant to this Agreement or in
connection with any Purchase hereunder, if the Final Payout
Date shall not have occurred:
(i) execute and deliver and file or cause to be filed an
appropriate continuation statement with respect to such
financing statement; and
(ii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Agent an opinion
of the counsel for Seller Parties, in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, confirming and updating
the opinion delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(i)(i) to the

valid and perfected ownership or security interest, subject to
no other Liens of record except as provided herein or otherwise
permitted hereunder.
SECTION 8.06. Application of Collections. Any payment by an
Obligor in respect of any indebtedness owed by it to any

ARTICLE XI
THE AGENT
----------
SECTION 11.01. Authorization and Action. Each Purchaser hereby
appoints and authorizes the Agent (or its designees) to take
such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers
under this Agreement as are delegated to the Agent by the terms
hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental
thereto.
SECTION 11.02. Agent's Reliance, Etc. The Agent and its
directors, officers, agents or employees shall not be liable
for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them in
good faith under or in connection with the Transaction
Documents (including, without limitation, the servicing,
administering or collecting Pool Receivables as Servicer
pursuant to Section 8.01), except for its or their own breach
of the terms of the applicable terms of the Transaction
Documents or its or their own gross negligence or willful
misconduct. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the Agent: (a) may consult with legal counsel (including
counsel for Seller), independent certified public accountants
and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for
any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in
accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or
experts; (b) makes no warranty or representation to any
Purchaser or any other holder of any interest in Pool
Receivables and shall not be responsible to any Purchaser or
any such other holder for any statements, warranties or
representations made by any Seller Party in or in connection
with any Transaction Document; (c) shall not have any duty to
ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of
any of the terms, covenants or conditions of any Transaction
Document on the part of any Seller Party or to inspect the
property (including the books and records) of any Seller Party;
(d) shall not be responsible to Purchaser or any other holder
of any interest in Pool Receivables for the due execution,
legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or
value of any Transaction Document (except by and against the
Agent); and (e) shall incur no liability under or in respect of
this Agreement by acting upon any notice (including notice by
telephone where permitted herein), consent, certificate or other
instrument or writing (which may be by facsimile or telex) in
good faith believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by
the proper party or parties.
SECTION 11.03. Norwest and Affiliates. Norwest and Norwest and
its Affiliates may generally engage in any kind of business
with any Seller Party or any Obligor, any of their respective
Affiliates and any Person who may do business with or own
securities of any Seller Party or any Obligor or any of their
respective Affiliates, all as if Norwest were not the Agent,
and without any duty to account therefor to Purchaser or any
other holder of an interest in Pool Receivables, but in any
event subject to Section 14.07. Norwest may be a Purchaser
hereunder, and may exercise its rights as a Purchaser as though
it were not the Agent.
SECTION 11.04. Indemnity. Each Purchaser agrees (which
agreement shall survive any termination of this Agreement) to
indemnify the Agent, pro rata according to such Purchaser's
Percentage, from and against any and all liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments,
suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature
whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by, or
asserted against the Agent in any way relating to or arising
out of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents,
including the reimbursement of the Agent for all reasonable out-
of-pocket expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by the
Agent hereunder or in connection herewith or in enforcing the
obligations of any Seller Party under this Agreement and the
other Transaction Documents, in all cases as to which the Agent
is not reimbursed by the Seller; provided that no Purchaser
shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements determined
by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final proceeding to
have resulted from the Agent's gross negligence or willful
misconduct. The Agent shall not be required to take any action
hereunder or under any other Transaction Document, or to
prosecute or defend any suit in respect of this Agreement or
any other Transaction Document, unless indemnified to its
satisfaction by the Purchasers against loss, costs, liability,
and expense, which indemnity need not indemnify the Agent for
its gross negligence or willful misconduct. If any indemnity
in favor of the Agent shall become impaired, it may call for
additional indemnity and cease to do the acts indemnified
against until such additional indemnity is given. The Agent
may delegate its duties hereunder to Affiliates, agents or
attorneys-in-fact selected in good faith by the Agent.
SECTION 11.05. Credit Decisions. Each Purchaser acknowledges
that it has, independently of the Agent and each other
Purchaser, and based on the financial information referred to
in Section 6.01(i) and such other documents, information, and
investigations as it has deemed appropriate, made its own
credit decision to make its Purchases from time to time. Each
Purchaser also acknowledges that it will, independently of the
Agent and each other Purchaser, and based on such other
documents, information, and investigations as it shall deem
appropriate at any time, continue to make its own credit
decisions as to exercising or not exercising from time to time
any rights and privileges available to it under this Agreement
or the other Transaction Documents.
SECTION 11.06. Notices, etc. to Agent. The Agent shall give
prompt notice to each Purchaser of each notice or request given
to the Agent by the Seller pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement and of each Liquidation Event or Unmatured Liquidation
Event of which the Agent has actual knowledge. The Agent will
promptly distribute to each Purchaser copies of all other
communications and financial statements received by the Agent
from the Seller for distribution to the Purchasers by the
Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The
Agent shall not be deemed to have actual knowledge of any
event unless an authorized corporate officer of the Agent has
discovered or has received actual notice of such event.

ARTICLE XII
ASSIGNMENT OF A PURCHASER'S INTEREST
------------------------------------
SECTION 12.01. Restrictions on Assignments.
(a) Neither any Seller Party nor Norwest, individually or as the
Agent, may assign its rights, or delegate its duties hereunder
or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the
Required Purchasers. No Purchaser may assign its rights
hereunder (although it may delegate its duties hereunder as
expressly indicated herein) or its interest in the Asset
Interest (or any portion thereof) to any Person without the
prior written consent of Seller, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, and the Agent; provided, however, that
any Purchaser may assign all of its rights and interests in the
Transaction Documents, together with all its interest in the
Asset Interest, to Clipper Receivables Corporation or to any
"bankruptcy remote" special purpose entity, the business of
which is administered by State Street Boston Capital
Corporation or any Affiliate thereof or Norwest, or any
Affiliate of Norwest, and Seller and InaCom hereby agree to
execute and deliver any amendments to this Agreement and the
other Transaction Documents that may be reasonably required to
effect such assignment and to reflect to change in the identity
of Purchaser. IBM Credit hereby agrees to notify Seller and
the Agent, on or before July 31, 1995, of its desire to assign
its interest in the Asset Interest to Clipper Receivables
Corporation and to act as a liquidity bank to Clipper
Receivables Corporation after such assignment. In the event
IBM Credit notifies Seller that IBM Credit does not desire to
assign its interest to Clipper Receivables Corporation and act
as a liquidity bank to Clipper, this Agreement will terminate
on the Termination Date.
(b) Seller agrees to advise the Agent within five Business Days
after notice to Seller of any proposed assignment by a
Purchaser of its interest in the Asset Interest (or any portion
thereof), not otherwise permitted under subsection (a), of
Seller's consent or non-consent to such assignment, and if it
does not consent, the reasons therefor.
SECTION 12.02. Rights of Assignee. Upon the assignment by a
Purchaser in accordance with this Article XII, the assignee
receiving such assignment shall have all of the rights of such
Purchaser with respect to the Transaction Documents and the
Asset Interest (or such portion thereof as has been assigned).
SECTION 12.03. Terms and Evidence of Assignment. Any assignment
of the Asset Interest (or any portion thereof) to any Person
which is otherwise permitted under this Article XII shall be
upon such terms and conditions as the assigning Purchaser and
the assignee may mutually agree, and may be evidenced by such
instrument(s) or document(s) as may be satisfactory to such
Purchaser, the Agent and the assignee.

ARTICLE XIII
INDEMNIFICATION
---------------
SECTION 13.01. Indemnities by Seller.
(a) General Indemnity. Without limiting any other rights which
any such Person may have hereunder or under applicable law,
Seller hereby agrees to indemnify each of the Agent, each
Purchaser, each of their respective Affiliates, and all
successors, transferees, participants and assigns and all
officers, directors, shareholders, controlling persons,
employees and agents of any of the foregoing (each an
"Indemnified Party"), forthwith on demand, from and against any
and all damages, losses, claims, liabilities and related costs
and expenses, including attorneys' fees and disbursements (all
of the foregoing being collectively referred to as "Indemnified
Amounts") awarded against or incurred by any of them arising
out of or relating to the Transaction Documents or the
ownership or funding of the Asset Interest or in respect of any
Receivable or any Contract, excluding, however, (a) Indemnified
Amounts to the extent determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction to have resulted from gross negligence or willful
misconduct on the part of such Indemnified Party or (b)
recourse (except as otherwise specifically provided in this
Agreement) for Defaulted Receivables. Without limiting the
foregoing, Seller shall indemnify each Indemnified Party for
Indemnified Amounts arising out of or relating to:
(i) the transfer by any Seller Party of any interest in any
Receivable other than the transfer of Receivables and related
property by the Originators to Seller pursuant to the Sale
Agreement, the transfer of an Asset Interest to the Agent, for
the benefit of Purchasers, pursuant to this Agreement and the
grant of a security interest to the Agent, for the benefit of
Purchasers, pursuant to Section 9.01;
(ii) any representation or warranty made by any Seller Party
(or any of its officers or Affiliates) under or in connection
with any Transaction Document, any Information Package or any
other information or report delivered by or on behalf of any
Seller Party pursuant hereto, which shall have been false,
incorrect or misleading in any material respect when made or
deemed made or delivered, as the case may be;
(iii) the failure by any Seller Party to comply with any
applicable law, rule or regulation with respect to any Pool
Receivable or the related Contract, or the nonconformity of any
Pool Receivable or the related Contract with any such
applicable law, rule or regulation;
(iv) the failure to vest and maintain vested in the Agent, for
the benefit of Purchasers, an undivided percentage ownership
interest, to the extent of the Asset Interest, in the
Receivables in, or purporting to be in, the Receivables Pool,
free and clear of any Lien, other than a Lien arising solely as
a result of an act of a Purchaser or the Agent, whether
existing at the time of any Purchase or Reinvestment of such
Asset Interest or at any time thereafter;
(v) the failure to file, or any delay in filing, financing
statements or other similar instruments or documents under the
UCC of any applicable jurisdiction or other applicable laws
with respect to any Receivables in, or purporting to be in, the
Receivables Pool, whether at the time of any Purchase or
Reinvestment or at any time thereafter;
(vi) any dispute, claim, offset or defense (other than
discharge in bankruptcy) of the Obligor to the payment of any
Receivable in, or purporting to be in, the Receivables Pool
(including, without limitation, a defense based on such
Receivables or the related Contract not being a legal, valid
and binding obligation of such Obligor enforceable against it
in accordance with its terms), or any other claim resulting
from the sale of the merchandise or services related to such
Receivable or the furnishing or failure to furnish such
merchandise or services;
(vii) any matter described in clause (i) or (ii) of
Section 3.02(a);
(viii) any failure of any Seller Party, as Servicer or
otherwise, to perform its duties or obligations in accordance
with the provisions of Article III or Article VIII;
(ix) any products liability claim arising out of or in
connection with merchandise or services that are the subject of
any Pool Receivable (it being understood that no Seller Party
is waiving its rights against any manufacturers);
(x) any claim of breach by any Seller Party of any related
Contract with respect to any Pool Receivable; or
(xi) any tax or governmental fee or charge (but not including
taxes upon or measured by net income), all interest and
penalties thereon or with respect thereto, and all out-of-
pocket costs and expenses, including the reasonable fees and
expenses of counsel in defending against the same, which may
arise by reason of the purchase or ownership of any Asset
Interest, or any other interest in the Pool Receivables or in
any goods which secure any such Pool Receivables.
(b) Contest of Tax Claim; After-Tax Basis. If any Indemnified
Party shall have notice of any attempt to impose or collect any
tax or governmental fee or charge for which indemnification
will be sought from any Seller Party under Section
13.01(a)(xi), such Indemnified Party shall give prompt and
timely notice of such attempt to Seller and Seller shall have
the right, at its expense, to participate in any proceedings
resisting or objecting to the imposition or collection of any
such tax, governmental fee or charge. Indemnification
hereunder shall be in an amount necessary to make the
Indemnified Party whole after taking into account any tax
consequences to the Indemnified Party of the payment of any of
the aforesaid taxes (including any deduction) and the receipt
of the indemnity provided hereunder or of any refund of any
such tax previously indemnified hereunder, including the effect
of such tax, deduction or refund on the amount of tax measured
by net income or profits which is or was payable by the
Indemnified Party.
(c) Contribution. If for any reason the indemnification
provided above in this Section 13.01 (and subject to the
exceptions set forth therein) is unavailable to an Indemnified
Party or is insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless,
then Seller shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by
such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage
or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect
not only the relative benefits received by such Indemnified
Party on the one hand and Seller on the other hand but also the
relative fault of such Indemnified Party as well as any other
relevant equitable considerations.
SECTION 13.02. Indemnities by Servicer. Without limiting any
other rights which any Indemnified Party may have hereunder or
under applicable law, the Servicer hereby agrees to indemnify
each of the Indemnified Parties forthwith on demand, from and
against any and all Indemnified Amounts awarded against or
incurred by any of them arising out of or relating to the
Servicer's performance of, or failure to perform, any of its
obligations under or in connection with any Transaction
Document, or any representation or warranty made by Servicer
(or any of its officers) under or in connection with any
Transaction Document, any Information Package or any other
information or report delivered by or on behalf of Servicer,
which shall have been false, incorrect or misleading in any
material respect when made or deemed made or delivered, as the
case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall
any Indemnified Party be awarded any Indemnified Amounts (a) to
the extent determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to
have resulted from gross negligence or willful misconduct on
the part of such Indemnified Party or (b) recourse for
Defaulted Receivables.
If for any reason the indemnification provided above in this
Section 13.02 (and subject to the exceptions set forth therein)
is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or is insufficient to
hold an Indemnified Party harmless, then the Servicer shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified
Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in
such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the
relative benefits received by such Indemnified Party on the one
hand and the Servicer on the other hand but also the relative
fault of such Indemnified Party as well as any other relevant
equitable considerations.
