claim by the Obligor thereof against a Seller (whether such claim arises out of
the same or a related transaction or an unrelated transaction but excluding

SECTION 5.02 Covenant of the Sellers and the Purchaser.
The Sellers and the Purchaser have structured this Agreement with the
intention that each Purchase of Receivables hereunder be treated as a sale of
such Receivables by the Sellers to the Purchaser for all purposes. The Sellers
and the Purchaser shall record each Purchase as a sale or purchase, as the case
may be, on its books and records, and reflect, to the extent required or
permitted by applicable law and/or accounting rules, each Purchase in its
financial statements and tax returns as a sale or purchase, as the case may be.
In the event that, contrary to the mutual intent of the Sellers and the
Purchasers, any Purchase of Receivables hereunder is not characterized as a
sale, the Sellers shall, effective as of the date hereof, be deemed to have
granted (and the Sellers hereby do grant) to the Purchaser a first priority
security interest in and to any and all Purchased Receivables, Related Security
and the proceeds thereof to secure the repayment of all amounts advanced to the
Sellers hereunder with accrued interest thereon, and this Agreement shall be
deemed to be a security agreement.

shall (x) assemble all of the documents, instruments and other records
(including, without limitation, computer tapes and disks) that evidence or
relate to the Purchased Receivables acquired from such Seller, and the related
Contracts (excluding the Long Term Contracts themselves) and Related Security,
or that are otherwise necessary or desirable to collect the Purchased
Receivables, and shall make the same available to the Purchaser at a place
selected by the Purchaser, and (y) segregate all cash, checks and other
instruments received by it from time to time constituting Collections of such
Purchased Receivables in a manner acceptable to the Purchaser and, promptly upon

executed instruments of transfer, to the Purchaser or its designee. The
Purchaser shall also have the right to make copies of all such documents,
instruments and other records at any time.

cause performance of, such obligation, and, if such Seller fails to so perform,
the costs and expenses of the Purchaser incurred in connection therewith shall
be payable by such Seller, as provided in Section 8.01 or Section 9.04 as
applicable.
(b) Each Seller shall perform all of its obligations under the Contracts
related to the Purchased Receivables to the same extent as if such Seller had
not sold Receivables hereunder and the exercise by the Purchaser of its rights
hereunder shall not relieve such Seller from such obligations or its obligations
with respect to the Purchased Receivables. The Purchaser shall not have any
obligation or liability with respect to any Purchased Receivables or related
Contracts, nor shall the Purchaser be obligated to perform any of the
obligations of such Seller thereunder.
SECTION 6.05 Transfer of Records to Purchaser.
(a) Each Purchase of Receivables hereunder shall include the transfer to
the Purchaser of all of the Seller's right and title to and interest in the
records relating to such Receivables.

Purchased Receivables.
ARTICLE VII
