without limitation, ARTICLE V), from time to time during the Revolving Period,
prior to the Termination Date, the Seller may request that the Purchaser

     SECTION 1.3 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, the Master 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 (1) the Asset Interest and (2) 100%;

          (ii) out of the portion of such Collections allocated to the Asset
     Interest pursuant to CLAUSE (i) above, identify and hold in trust for the
     Purchaser (provided that unless otherwise requested by the Administrative
     Agent, on behalf of the Purchaser, after a Credit Event, such Collections
     shall not be required to be held in a separate account) an amount equal to
     the sum of the estimated amount of Earned Discount and CP Costs accrued in
     respect of each Asset Tranche (based on the rate information provided by
     the Administrative Agent pursuant to SECTION 2.5), all other amounts due to
     the Purchaser or the Administrative Agent hereunder and the Purchaser's
     Share of the Servicing Fee (in each case, accrued through such day) and not
     so previously identified; and

          (iii) apply the Collections allocated to the Asset Interest pursuant
     to CLAUSE (i) above and not required to be identified and held in trust
     pursuant to CLAUSE (ii) above to the purchase from the Seller of ownership
     interests in Pool Receivables and Related Assets (each such purchase being
     a "REINVESTMENT"); provided that:

               (A) if, after giving effect to such Reinvestment, (1) the Asset
          Interest would exceed the Allocation Limit or (2) the Invested Amount
          would exceed the Purchase Limit, then the Master Servicer shall not
          make such Reinvestment, but shall identify and hold in trust for the
          benefit of the Purchaser, a portion of such Collections which,
          together with other Collections previously identified and then so
          held, shall equal the amount necessary to reduce (x) the Invested
          Amount to the Purchase Limit and (y) 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 5.2, subject to the proviso set forth in
          SECTION 5.2, are not


                                       3


          satisfied, then the Master Servicer shall not reinvest any of such
          remaining Collections, but shall identify them and hold them in trust
          for the benefit of the Purchaser;

          (iv) out of the portion of Collections not allocated to the Asset
     Interest pursuant to CLAUSE (i) above, pay to the Master Servicer or set
     aside (at the option of the Master Servicer) the Seller's Share of the
     Servicing Fee accrued through such day and not previously paid; and

          (v)  pay to the Seller (A) the remaining portion of Collections not
     allocated to the Asset Interest pursuant to CLAUSE (i) above and (B) the
     Collections applied to Reinvestment pursuant to CLAUSE (iii) above.

     (b)  UNREINVESTED COLLECTIONS. The Master Servicer shall identify and hold
in trust for the benefit of the Purchaser all Collections which, pursuant to
CLAUSE (iii) of SECTION 1.3(a), may not be reinvested in the Pool Receivables
and Related Assets, provided that unless otherwise requested by the
Administrative Agent after a Credit Event, such Collections need not be held in
a segregated account. If, prior to the date when such Collections are required
to be paid to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Purchaser pursuant
to SECTION 1.3(c)(iv), the amount of Collections so identified exceeds the
amount, if any, necessary to reduce (i) the Invested Amount to the Purchase
Limit and (ii) the Asset Interest to the Allocation Limit, and the conditions
precedent to Reinvestment set forth in CLAUSEs (a), (b) and (d) of SECTION 5.2,
subject to the proviso set forth in SECTION 5.2, are satisfied, then the Master
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.

          (i)  The Master Servicer shall pay all amounts identified pursuant to
     SECTION 1.3(a)(ii) in respect of Earned Discount on an Asset Tranche funded
     by a Liquidity Funding to the Administrative Agent, on the Purchaser's
     behalf, on the last day of the then current Yield Period for an Asset
     Tranche, as provided in SECTION 3.1.

          (ii) The Master Servicer shall pay all amounts of Collections
     identified pursuant to SECTION 1.3(a)(ii) in respect of Earned Discount on
     any Asset Tranche funded by Commercial Paper Notes to the Administrative
     Agent, on the Purchaser's behalf, on the Settlement Date following the last
     day of each CP Accrual Period for such Asset Tranche, as provided in
     SECTION 3.1.

          (iii) The Master Servicer shall pay all amounts of Collections
     identified pursuant to SECTION 1.3(a)(ii) and not applied pursuant to
     CLAUSES (i) or (ii) above to the Administrative Agent, on the Purchaser's
     behalf, on each Settlement Date for each Collection Period, as provided in
     SECTION 3.1.

          (iv) The Master Servicer shall pay all amounts identified pursuant to
     SECTION 1.3(b) to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Purchaser
     (A) on the last day of


                                       4



     the then current Yield Period for any Asset Tranche funded by a Liquidity
     Funding, as provided in SECTION 3.1(b), in an amount not exceeding the
     Purchaser's Tranche Investment of such Asset Tranche, and (B) on the last
     day of the then current CP Accrual Period for any Asset Tranche funded by
     Commercial Paper Notes, as provided in SECTION 3.1, in an amount not
     exceeding the Purchaser's Tranche Investment of such Asset Tranche;
     PROVIDED, HOWEVER, no payment shall be made under CLAUSE (B) above unless
     the Purchaser's Tranche Investments of all Asset Tranches, if any, funded
     by the Liquidity Fundings shall have been reduced to zero.

     (d) FUNDS UNDER SALE AGREEMENT. Upon the written request of the
Administrative Agent, on the Purchaser's behalf, given at any time when (i)
based on the most recent Information Package, either (A) the Asset Interest
would exceed the Allocation Limit or, (B) the Invested Amount would exceed the
Purchase Limit, or (ii) a Liquidation Event or Unmatured Liquidation Event shall
have occurred and be continuing, the Seller shall identify all funds that under
the Sale Agreement would be applied to repay principal of the Initial Seller
Notes (as defined in the Sale Agreement) owing to the Originators. The Seller
may make withdrawals of such funds only for the purposes of (i) at any time,
purchasing Receivables from an Originator in accordance with the Sale Agreement;
(ii) on the Settlement Date for any Collection Period, making payments in
accordance with the last sentence of SECTION 3.1(c)(ii), and (iii) on the
Settlement Date for any Collection Period, if, on the basis of the most recent
Information Package, and after giving effect to any payment made to the Master
Servicer on such date pursuant to the last sentence of SECTION 3.1(c)(ii), both
(i) the Invested Amount does not exceed the Purchase Limit and (ii) 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,
repaying principal of the Initial Seller Notes in accordance with this Agreement
and the Sale Agreement.

     SECTION 1.4 ASSET INTEREST.

     (a) COMPONENTS OF ASSET INTEREST. On any date the Asset Interest will
represent the Investors' undivided percentage ownership interest 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 the percentage equivalent of the following fraction:

                                      IA+RR
                                      -----
                                       NPB

     where:

          IA   =  the Invested Amount on the date of such computation;

          RR   =  the Required Reserve on the date of such computation; and

          NPB  =  the Net Pool Balance on the date of such computation;


                                       5




PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Asset Interest during the Liquidation Period shall
equal 100% and shall at no time exceed 100%.

     (c) FREQUENCY OF COMPUTATION. The Asset Interest shall be computed (i) as
provided in SECTION 3.1, as of the Cut-Off Date for each Collection Period, and
(ii) on the Settlement Date following each Reporting Date, after giving effect
to the payments made pursuant to SECTION 3.1. In addition, at any time, the
Administrative Agent, on the Purchaser's behalf, may require the Master Servicer
to provide an Information Package, based on the information then available to
the Master Servicer, for purposes of computing the Asset Interest or the
Purchase Limit as of any other date, and the Master Servicer agrees to do so
within five (5) (or three (3), if a Liquidation Event or a Credit Event has
occurred and is continuing) Business Days of its receipt of the Administrative
Agent's request.

                                   ARTICLE II

                               COMPUTATIONAL RULES

     SECTION 2.1 SELECTION OF ASSET TRANCHES.

     The Administrative Agent shall, from time to time for purposes of computing
Earned Discount on that portion of the Asset Interest funded with Liquidity
Fundings, divide the Asset Interest into Asset Tranches. The applicable Earned
Discount Rate may be different for each Asset Tranche funded by a Liquidity
Funding. The Invested Amount shall be allocated to each Asset Tranche by the
Administrative Agent, on the Purchaser's behalf, to reflect the funding sources
for the Asset Interest, so that:

     (a) there will be a single Asset Tranche equal to the excess of the
Invested Amount over the aggregate amount allocated at such time pursuant to
CLAUSE (b) below, which Asset Tranche shall reflect the portion of the Asset
Interest funded by Commercial Paper Notes; and

     (b) there may be one or more Asset Tranches, selected by the Administrative
Agent, on the Purchaser's behalf, reflecting the portion or portions of the
Asset Interest funded by outstanding Liquidity Fundings.

     SECTION 2.2 COMPUTATION OF INVESTED AMOUNT AND PURCHASER'S TRANCHE
INVESTMENT.

     In making any determination of the Invested Amount and any Purchaser's
Tranche Investment, the following rules shall apply:

     (a)  the Invested Amount 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 hereunder to the Administrative
Agent, on the Purchaser's behalf;


                                       6



     (b) the Invested Amount 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; and

     (c) if there is any reduction in the Invested Amount, there shall be a
corresponding reduction in the Purchaser's Tranche Investment with respect to
one or more Asset Tranches selected by the Administrative Agent, on the
Purchaser's behalf, in its discretion.

     SECTION 2.3 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 2.4 COMPUTATION OF EARNED DISCOUNT.

     In making any determination of Earned Discount, the following rules shall
apply:

     (a)  the Administrative Agent, on the Purchaser's behalf, shall determine
the Earned Discount accruing with respect to each Asset Tranche funded by a
Liquidity Funding for each Yield 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)  the Earned Discount for any Asset Tranche shall not be considered paid
by any distribution if at any time such distribution is rescinded or must
otherwise be returned for any reason.

It is the intent of the Purchaser to fund the Asset Interest by the issuance of
Commercial Paper Notes. If, for any reason, the Purchaser is unable, or
determines that it is undesirable, to issue Commercial Paper Notes to fund the
Asset Interest, or is unable to repay such Commercial Paper Notes upon the
maturity thereof, the Purchaser will draw on Liquidity Fundings to the extent
available. If the Purchaser funds itself through Liquidity Fundings, the Earned
Discount payable by the Seller will be based on the Bank Rate.

     SECTION 2.5 ESTIMATES OF EARNED DISCOUNT RATE, FEES, ETC.

     For purposes of determining the amounts required to be identified by
Master Servicer pursuant to SECTION 1.3, the Administrative Agent, on the
Purchaser's behalf, shall notify the Master Servicer (and, if Lennox is not the
Master Servicer, the Seller) from time to time of the Purchaser's Tranche
Investment of each Asset Tranche, the Earned Discount Rate applicable to each
Asset Tranche funded by a Liquidity Funding and the rates at which fees and
other amounts are accruing hereunder. It is understood and agreed that (a) the
CP Costs for any Asset Tranche funded by the issuance of Commercial Paper are
determined in arrears and may change from one applicable CP Accrual Period to
the next, (b) the Earned Discount Rate for any Asset Tranche


                                       7

next, and the Bank Rate used to calculate the Earned Discount Rate may change
from time to time during an applicable Yield Period, (c) certain rate
information provided by the Administrative Agent to the Master Servicer shall be
based upon the Administrative Agent's good faith estimate, (d) the amount of
Earned Discount actually accrued with respect to an Asset Tranche funded by a
Liquidity Funding during any Yield Period may exceed, or be less than, the
amount identified with respect thereto by Master Servicer, and (e) the amount of
fees or other amounts payable by the Seller hereunder which have accrued
hereunder with respect to any Collection Period may exceed, or be less than, the
amount identified with respect thereto by the Master Servicer. Failure to
identify any amount so accrued shall not relieve the Master Servicer of its
obligation to remit Collections to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of
the Purchaser, with respect to such accrued amount, as and to the extent
provided in SECTION 3.1.

                                   ARTICLE III

                                   SETTLEMENTS

     SECTION 3.1 SETTLEMENT PROCEDURES.

     The parties hereto will take the following actions with respect to each
Collection Period:

     (a)  INFORMATION PACKAGE. On the fifteenth day of each month or if such day
is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day (each a "REPORTING
DATE"), the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, on the
Purchaser's behalf, a report in the form of EXHIBIT 3.1(a), provided that, if a
Credit Event has occurred and is continuing, such Information Package shall be
accompanied by an electronic file in a form satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent (collectively, an "INFORMATION PACKAGE").

     (b)  EARNED DISCOUNT AND CP COSTS; OTHER AMOUNTS DUE. (i) (A) On or before
12:00 noon (Atlanta, Georgia, time) on the Business Day before the last day of
each Yield Period, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Master Servicer of
the amount of Earned Discount accrued with respect to any Asset Tranche funded
by a Liquidity Funding corresponding to such Yield Period, and (B) on or before
12:00 noon (Atlanta, Georgia time) five (5) Business Days before each Reporting
Date, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Servicer of the CP Costs accrued
during the most recently ended CP Accrual Period with respect to any Asset
Tranche funded with Commercial Paper Notes during all or any portion of such CP
Accrual Period (ii) the Master Servicer shall pay to the Administrative Agent
for the benefit of the Purchaser the amount of such Earned Discount before 12:00
noon (Atlanta, Georgia time) on the last day of such Yield Period and the amount
of such CP Costs before 12:00 noon (Atlanta, Georgia time) on each Settlement
Date (iii) on or before 12:00 noon (Atlanta, Georgia time) on the Business Day
before each Reporting Date, the Administrative Agent, on the Purchaser's behalf,
shall notify the Master Servicer of all Broken Funding Costs, fees and other
amounts accrued and payable by the Seller under this Agreement during the prior
calendar month (other than amounts described in CLAUSE (c) below). The Master
Servicer shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the
Purchaser, the amount of such Broken Funding Costs, fees and other amounts (to
the extent of Collections attributable to the Asset Interest during such
Collection Period) on the Settlement


                                       8



Date for such month. Such payments shall be made out of amounts identified
pursuant to SECTION 1.3 for such payment; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that to the extent
Collections attributable to the Asset Interest during such Collection Period are
not sufficient to make such payment, such payment shall be made out of funds
paid by the Master Servicer to the Seller (which amounts the Seller hereby
agrees to pay to the Master Servicer), up to the aggregate amount of Collections
applied to Reinvestments under SECTION 1.3(a) or (b) during such month.

     (c)  ASSET INTEREST COMPUTATIONS.

          (i)  On the Reporting Date for each Collection Period, the Master
     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 Invested Amount
     over the Purchase Limit. Such calculations shall be based upon the
     assumptions that (A) the information in the Information Package is correct,
     and (B) Collections identified pursuant to SECTION 1.3(b) will be paid to
     the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Purchaser, on the
     Settlement Date for such Collection Period.

          (ii) If, according to the computations made pursuant to CLAUSE (i)
     above, either (A) the Asset Interest exceeds the Allocation Limit or (B)
     the Invested Amount exceeds the Purchase Limit, then on the Settlement Date
     for such Collection Period, the Master Servicer shall pay to the
     Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Purchaser, (to the extent of
     Collections during the related Collection Period attributable to all Asset
     Tranches and not previously paid to the Administrative Agent) the amount
     necessary to reduce both (A) the Invested Amount to the Purchase Limit and
     (B) the Asset Interest to the Allocation Limit, SUBJECT, HOWEVER, to the
     PROVISO to SECTION 1.3(c)(iv). Such payment shall be made out of amounts
     identified pursuant to SECTION 1.3 for such purpose and, to the extent such
     amounts were not so identified, the Seller hereby agrees to pay such
     amounts to the Master Servicer to the extent of Collections applied to
     Reinvestment under SECTION 1.3 during the relevant Collection Period.

          (iii) In addition to the payments described in CLAUSE (ii) above,
     during the Liquidation Period, the Master Servicer shall pay to the
     Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Purchaser, all amounts
     identified pursuant to SECTION 1.3 (A) on the last day of the current Yield
     Period for any Asset Tranche funded by a Liquidity Funding, in an amount
     not exceeding the Purchaser's Tranche Investment of such Asset Tranche, and
     (B) after reduction to zero of the Purchaser's Tranche Investments of the
     Asset Tranches, if any, funded by Liquidity Fundings, on the last day of
     the each CP Accrual Period, in an amount not exceeding the Purchaser's
     Tranche Investment of the Asset Tranche funded by Commercial Paper Notes.

     (d) ORDER OF APPLICATION. Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent, on the
Purchaser's behalf, of funds distributed pursuant to this SECTION 3.1, the
Administrative Agent shall apply them to the items specified in the subCLAUSEs
below, in the order of priority of such subCLAUSEs:


                                       9




          (i) to accrued Earned Discount, CP Costs and Broken Funding Costs,
     plus any previously accrued Earned Discount, CP Costs and Broken Funding
     Costs not paid;

          (ii) to the Purchaser's Share of the accrued and unpaid Servicing Fee
     (if the Master Servicer is not Lennox or its Affiliate);

          (iii) to the Program Fee and the Unused Fee accrued during such
     Collection Period, plus any previously accrued Program Fee and the Unused
     Fee not paid on a prior Settlement Date;

          (iv) to the reduction of the Invested Amount, to the extent such
     reduction is required under SECTION 3.1(c);

          (v) to other accrued and unpaid amounts owing to the Purchaser or the
     Administrative Agent hereunder (except Earned Discount on any Asset Tranche
     funded by a Liquidity Funding which has accrued but is not yet overdue
     under SECTION 1.3(c));

          (vi) to the Purchaser's Share of the accrued and unpaid Servicing Fee
     (if the Master Servicer is Lennox or its Affiliate); and

          (vii) to purchase newly originated Receivables during the Revolving
     Period.

     (e)  NON-DISTRIBUTION OF SERVICING FEE. The Administrative Agent hereby
consents (which consent may be revoked at any time after the occurrence and
during the continuance of a Liquidation Event or a Credit Event), to the
retention by the Master Servicer of the amounts (if any) identified pursuant to
SECTION 1.3 in respect of the Servicing Fee, in which case no distribution shall
be made in respect of the Servicing Fee pursuant to CLAUSE (d) above.

     (f)  DELAYED PAYMENT. If on any day described in this SECTION 3.1 (or in
SECTION 1.3(c) in respect of accrued Earned Discount on Asset Tranches funded by
Liquidity Fundings or accrued CP Costs on Asset Tranches funded by the issuance
of Commercial Paper Notes), because Collections during the relevant CP Accrual
Period or Yield Period were less than the aggregate amounts payable, the Master
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 3.2 DEEMED COLLECTIONS; REDUCTION OF INVESTED AMOUNT, 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


                                       10


          any Seller Party or any Affiliate thereof, or as a result of any
          tariff or other governmental or regulatory action, or

               (B) reduced or canceled 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, including without
          limitation, any setoff or claim arising as a result of any amount at
          any time owed by any Originator in connection with any account
          receivable owed by any such Originator to such Obligor), 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 the Seller set forth
     in SECTION 6.1(j), (l) or (p) were not true when made with respect to any
     Pool Receivable, or any of the representations or warranties of the Seller
     set forth in SECTION 6.1(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, the Seller shall be deemed to have received a Collection of
such Pool Receivable

               (A)  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

               (B) in the case of CLAUSE (ii) above, in the amount of the Unpaid
          Balance of such Pool Receivable.

Collections deemed received by the Seller under this SECTION 3.2(a) are herein
referred to as "DEEMED COLLECTIONS."

     (b)  SELLER'S OPTIONAL REDUCTION OF THE INVESTED AMOUNT. The Seller may at
any time elect to reduce the Invested Amount as follows:


          (i) the Seller shall give the Administrative Agent, on the Purchaser's
     behalf, 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, the Master Servicer shall refrain from reinvesting
     Collections pursuant to


                                       11



     SECTION 1.3 until the amount thereof not so reinvested shall equal the
     desired amount of reduction, and


          (iii) the Master Servicer shall hold such Collections in trust for the
     Purchaser, pending payment to the Administrative Agent, as provided in
     SECTION 1.3;

PROVIDED that:

               (A) the amount of any such reduction shall be in (1) an amount of
          $1,000,000, (2) an integral multiple thereof or (3) an amount equal to
          the remaining Invested Amount,

               (B)  the 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 Collection Period,
          and

               (C)  unless the Invested Amount will be reduced to zero, after
          giving effect to such reduction, the Invested Amount will be at least
          $25,000,000.

     SECTION 3.3 PAYMENTS AND COMPUTATIONS, ETC.

     (a) PAYMENTS.  All amounts to be paid to the Administrative Agent or any

                                       12



     SECTION 3.4 TREATMENT OF COLLECTIONS AND DEEMED COLLECTIONS.

     The Seller shall forthwith deliver to the Master Servicer all Deemed
Collections, and the Master Servicer shall hold or distribute such Deemed
Collections as Earned Discount, CP Costs, Broken Funding Costs, accrued
Servicing Fee, repayment of the Invested Amount, 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 the Master Servicer. If
Collections are then being paid to the Administrative Agent, on the Purchaser's
behalf, or its designee, or to lock boxes or accounts directly or indirectly
owned or controlled by the Administrative Agent, the Master Servicer shall
forthwith cause such Deemed Collections to be paid to the Administrative Agent,
on the Purchaser's behalf, or its designee or to such lock boxes or accounts, as
applicable, or as the Administrative Agent shall request. So long as the Seller
shall hold any Collections (including Deemed Collections) required to be paid to
the Master Servicer or the Administrative Agent, it shall hold such Collections
in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the
Purchaser, and shall clearly mark its records to reflect such trust; provided
that unless the Administrative Agent shall have requested it in writing to do
so, the Seller shall not be required to hold such Collections in a separate
deposit account containing only such Collections.

                                   ARTICLE IV

                            FEES AND YIELD PROTECTION

          charge with respect to the Asset Interest owned by or funded by it, or
          any obligations or right to make Purchases or Reinvestments or to
          provide funding therefor, or shall change the basis of taxation of
          payments to the Affected Party of any Invested Amount 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 (1) taxes based on, or measured by, net income, or 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


                                       13


          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, (2) franchise taxes, taxes on, or in the
          nature of, doing business taxes or capital taxes); 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

               (D) shall impose any other condition affecting any Asset Interest
          owned or funded in whole or in part by any Affected Party, or its
          obligations or rights, if any, to make Purchases 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

               (A) to increase the cost to or to impose a cost on (1) an
          Affected Party funding or making or maintaining any Purchases or
          Reinvestments, any purchases, reinvestments, or loans or other
          extensions of credit under the Liquidity Agreement, or any commitment
          of such Affected Party with respect to any of the foregoing, or (2)
          the Administrative Agent for continuing its or the Seller's
          relationship with the Purchaser, in each case, in an amount deemed to
          be material by such Affected Party,

               (B) to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by an
          Affected Party under this Agreement or under the Liquidity Agreement,
          or

               (C) 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, in reasonable detail, the basis
of such demand and the methodology for calculating, and the calculation of, the
amounts claimed by the Affected Party), the Seller shall pay directly to such
Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as will


                                       14



compensate such Affected Party for such additional or increased cost or such
reduction; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, the Seller shall only be required to compensate
any such Affected Party for such amounts to the extent that such Affected Party
is requiring all of its other similarly situated customers to compensate it for
such amounts.

     (b)  Each Affected Party will promptly notify the Seller and the
Administrative 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 4.2; 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
4.2, 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 4.2 shall submit to the Seller the certificate (referred to in
SUBSECTION (a) above) 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 the Seller.

     SECTION 4.3 FUNDING LOSSES.

     In the event that the Purchaser or any Liquidity Bank shall actually 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 the Purchaser
through the issuance of Commercial Paper Notes to fund any Purchase or such
Liquidity Bank to make any Liquidity Funding or maintain any Liquidity Funding)
as a result of (a) any settlement with respect to the Purchaser's Tranche
Investment of any Asset Tranche being made on any day other than the scheduled
last day of an applicable CP Accrual Period or Yield Period with respect thereto
(it being understood that the foregoing shall not apply to any portion of the
Invested Amount that is accruing Earned Discount calculated by reference to the
Base Rate), or (b) any Purchase not being made in accordance with a request
therefor under SECTION 1.2, then, upon written notice from the Administrative
Agent to the Seller and the Master Servicer, the Seller shall pay to the Master
Servicer, and the Master Servicer shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the
account of the Purchaser or such Liquidity Bank, as the case may be, the amount
of such loss or expense. Such written notice (which shall include the
methodology for calculating, and the calculation of, the amount of such loss or
expense, in reasonable detail) shall, in the absence of demonstrable error, be
conclusive and binding upon the Seller and the Master Servicer.

     SECTION 7.4 SEPARATE CORPORATE EXISTENCE OF THE SELLER.

     Each Seller Party hereby acknowledges that the Purchaser and the
Administrative Agent are entering into the transactions contemplated hereby in
reliance upon the Seller's identity as a legal entity separate from the Master
Servicer and its other Affiliates. Therefore, each Seller Party shall take all
steps specifically required by this Agreement or reasonably required by the
Administrative Agent to continue the Seller's identity as a separate legal
entity and to make it apparent to third Persons that the Seller is an entity
with assets and liabilities distinct from those of its Affiliates, and is not a
division of the Master Servicer or any other Person. Without limiting the
foregoing, each Seller Party will take such actions as shall be required in
order that:

     (a)  The 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 Receivables in the Receivables Pool and
Related 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;

     (b)  At least one member of the 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 any Seller Party
or any of its Affiliates. The certificate of incorporation of the Seller shall
provide that (i) at least one member of the Seller's Board of Directors shall be
an Independent Director, (ii) the 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 the Seller unless the Independent Director shall approve the
taking of such action in writing prior to the taking of such action and (iii)
the provisions requiring an Independent Director and the provisions described in
CLAUSES (i) and (ii) of this PARAGRAPH (b) cannot be amended without the prior
written consent of the Independent Director;

     (c)  The Independent Director shall not at any time serve as a trustee in
bankruptcy for the Seller or any Affiliate thereof;

     (d)  Any employee, consultant or agent of the Seller will be compensated
from the Seller's funds for services provided to the Seller. The 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 (the parties acknowledge that the Master Servicer will be
fully compensated for its services by payment of the Servicing Fee), and certain
organizational expenses in connection with the formation of the Seller;

     (e)  The Seller will contract with the Master Servicer to perform for the
Seller all operations required on a daily basis to service the Receivables Pool.
The Seller will pay the Master Servicer the Servicing Fee pursuant hereto. The
Seller will not incur any material indirect or overhead expenses for items
shared with the Master Servicer (or any other Affiliate thereof) which are not
reflected in the Servicing Fee. To the extent, if any, that the Seller (or any
other Affiliate thereof) shares items of expenses not reflected in the Servicing
Fee, for legal,


                                       30



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 Lennox shall pay or
cause to be paid all expenses relating to the preparation, negotiation,
execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents, including, without
limitation, legal, rating agency and other fees;

     (f)  The Seller's operating expenses will not be paid by any other Seller
Party or other Affiliate of the Seller;

     (g)  The Seller will have its own stationery;

     (h)  The books of account, financial reports and corporate records of the
Seller will be maintained separately from those of the Master Servicer and each
other Affiliate of the Seller;

     (i) Any financial statements of any Seller Party or Affiliate thereof which
are consolidated to include the Seller will contain detailed notes clearly
stating that (i) all of the Seller's assets are owned by the Seller, and (ii)
the Seller is a separate corporate entity with its own separate creditors that
will be entitled to be satisfied out of the Seller's assets prior to any value
in the Seller becoming available to the 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 Receivables and
Related Assets have been sold by the Originators to the Seller;

     (j) The Seller's assets will be maintained in a manner that facilitates
their identification and segregation from those of the Master Servicer and the
other Affiliates;

     (k) Each Affiliate of the Seller will strictly observe corporate
formalities in its dealings with the Seller, and, except as permitted pursuant
to this Agreement with respect to Collections, funds or other assets of the
Seller will not be commingled with those of any of its Affiliates;

     (l) No Affiliate of the Seller will maintain joint bank accounts with the
Seller or other depository accounts with the Seller to which any such Affiliate
(other than in its capacity as the Master Servicer hereunder or under the Sale
Agreement) has independent access, provided that prior to the occurrence of a
Credit Event, Collections may be deposited into general accounts of the Master
Servicer, subject to the obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder;

     (m) No Affiliate of the Seller shall, directly or indirectly, name the
Seller or enter into any agreement to name the Seller as a direct or contingent
beneficiary or loss payee on any insurance policy covering the property of any
Affiliate of the Seller;

     (n) Each Affiliate of the Seller will maintain arm's length relationships
with the Seller, and each Affiliate of the Seller that renders or otherwise
furnishes services or merchandise to the Seller will be compensated by the
Seller at market rates for such services or merchandise;


                                       31




     (o) No Affiliate of the Seller will be, nor will it hold itself out to be,
responsible for the debts of the Seller or the decisions or actions in respect
of the daily business and affairs of the Seller. The Master Servicer and the
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;

     (p) The 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 the Seller will be continuously maintained as official records by
the Seller; and

     (q) The Seller, on the one hand, and each Originator, 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.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                          ADMINISTRATION AND COLLECTION

     SECTION 8.1 DESIGNATION OF MASTER SERVICER.

     (a) LENNOX AS INITIAL MASTER SERVICER. The servicing, administering and
collection of the Pool Receivables shall be conducted by the Person designated
as Master Servicer hereunder from time to time in accordance with this SECTION
8.1. Until the Administrative Agent, on the Purchaser's behalf, gives to Lennox
a Successor Notice (as defined in SECTION 8.1(b)), Lennox is hereby designated
as, and hereby agrees to perform the duties and obligations of, the Master
Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof. Each of the Originators named in the Sale
Agreement, has agreed to act as subservicer for the purpose of performing
certain duties and obligations with respect to all Receivables purchased by the
Seller from such Originator pursuant to the terms of the Sale Agreement. In so
acting as subservicer, each of the Originators has agreed to comply with, and be
bound by, all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement applicable to such
Originator in the performance of its duties as subservicer; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that each such Originator (i) shall cease to act as subservicer upon the
Administrative Agent's delivery of a Successor Notice to Lennox, and (ii) shall
not be entitled to receive any Servicing Fee provided for herein (except that
the Master Servicer may agree to pay to the subservicers a proportional share of
the Servicing Fee which obligation shall be that of the Master Servicer).

     (b) SUCCESSOR NOTICE; MASTER SERVICER TRANSFER EVENTS. Upon Lennox's
receipt of a notice from the Administrative Agent of the Administrative Agent's
designation, on the Purchaser's behalf, of a new Master Servicer (a "SUCCESSOR
NOTICE"), Lennox agrees that it will terminate its activities as Master Servicer
hereunder in a manner that the Administrative Agent believes will facilitate the
transition of the performance of such activities to the new Master Servicer, and
the Administrative Agent (or its designee) shall assume each and all of Lennox's
obligations to service and administer such Receivables, on the terms and subject
to the


                                       32



conditions herein set forth, and Lennox shall use its best efforts to assist the
Administrative Agent (or its designee) in assuming such obligations. Without
limiting the foregoing, Lennox agrees, at its expense, to take all actions
necessary to provide the new Master Servicer with access to all computer
software necessary or useful in collecting, billing or maintaining records with
respect to the Receivables. The Administrative Agent agrees not to give Lennox a
Successor Notice until after the occurrence and during the continuance of any
Liquidation Event or a Credit Event (any such event being herein called a
"SERVICER TRANSFER EVENT"), in which case such Successor Notice may be given at
any time in the Administrative Agent's discretion. If Lennox disputes the
occurrence of a Servicer Transfer Event, Lennox may take appropriate action to
resolve such dispute; provided that Lennox must terminate its activities
hereunder as Master Servicer and allow the newly designated Master Servicer to
perform such activities on the date provided by the Administrative Agent as
described above, notwithstanding the commencement or continuation of any
proceeding to resolve the aforementioned dispute, if the Administrative Agent,
on the Purchaser's behalf, reasonably determines, in good faith, that such
termination is necessary or advisable to protect the Purchaser's interests
hereunder.

     (c) SUBCONTRACTS. The Master Servicer may, with the prior consent of the
Administrative Agent, subcontract with any other Person for servicing,
administering or collecting the Pool Receivables, provided that the Master
Servicer shall remain liable for the performance of the duties and obligations
of the Master Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof and such subservicing
arrangement may be terminated at the Administrative Agent's request, on the
Purchaser's behalf, at anytime after a Successor Notice has been given.

     SECTION 8.2 DUTIES OF MASTER SERVICER.

     (a) APPOINTMENT; DUTIES IN GENERAL. Each of the Seller, the Purchaser and
the Administrative Agent hereby appoints as its agent the Master Servicer, as
from time to time designated pursuant to SECTION 8.1, to enforce its rights and
interests in and under the Pool Receivables, the Related Security and the
related Contracts. The Master 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. The Master Servicer shall
identify for the account of the Seller and Purchaser their respective allocable
shares of the Collections of Pool Receivables in accordance with SECTION 1.3 but
shall not be required (unless otherwise requested by the Administrative Agent,
on the Purchaser's behalf, after the occurrence of a Credit Event) to segregate
the funds constituting such portions of such Collections prior to the remittance
thereof in accordance with said SECTION. If instructed by the Administrative
Agent, on the Purchaser's behalf, after the occurrence of a Credit Event, the
Master Servicer shall segregate and deposit into the Collection Account, the
Purchaser's share of Collections of Pool Receivables, on the second Business Day
following receipt by the Master 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, Lennox, while
it is Master Servicer,


                                       33



may, in accordance with the applicable Credit and Collection Policy, (i) extend
the maturity or adjust the Unpaid Balance of any Defaulted Receivable as the
Master Servicer may reasonably determine to be appropriate to maximize
Collections thereof, and (ii) adjust the Unpaid Balance of any Receivable to
reflect the reductions or cancellations described in the first sentence of
SECTION 3.2(a).

     (d) DOCUMENTS AND RECORDS. Each Seller Party shall deliver to the Master
Servicer, and the Master Servicer shall hold in trust for the Seller and the
Purchaser 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 THE SELLER. The Master Servicer shall, as soon as
practicable following receipt, turn over to the Seller (i) that portion of
Collections of Pool Receivables representing its undivided percentage interest
therein, less the Seller's Share of the Servicing Fee, and, in the event that
neither Lennox nor any other Seller Party or Affiliate thereof is the Master
Servicer, all reasonable and appropriate out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the
Master Servicer of servicing, collecting and administering the Pool Receivables
to the extent not covered by the Servicing Fee received by it, and (ii) the
Collections of any Receivable which is not a Pool Receivable. The Master
Servicer, if other than Lennox or any other Seller Party or Affiliate thereof,
shall, as soon as practicable upon demand, deliver to the Seller all documents,
instruments and records in its possession that evidence or relate to Receivables
of the Seller other than Pool Receivables, and copies of documents, instruments
and records in its possession that evidence or relate to Pool Receivables.

     (f) TERMINATION. The Master Servicer's authorization under this Agreement
shall terminate upon the Final Payout Date.

     (g) POWER OF ATTORNEY. The Seller hereby grants to the Master Servicer an
irrevocable power of attorney, with full power of substitution, coupled with an
interest, to take in the name of the 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 the Seller or transmitted or received
by the Purchaser (whether or not from the Seller) in connection with any
Receivable.

     SECTION 8.3 [RESERVED].

     SECTION 8.4 SERVICER DEFAULTS.

     If any one of the following events (a "SERVICER DEFAULT") shall occur and
be continuing:

deposit or to give instructions or notice to the Administrative Agent as

Package such failure shall remain unremedied for two (2) Business Days after the

surviving entity.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, so long as any such Servicer
Default shall not have been remedied, the Administrative Agent, by written
notice to the Master Servicer (a "TERMINATION NOTICE"), may terminate all of the
rights and obligations of the Master Servicer as Master Servicer under this
Agreement and appoint a successor Master Servicer satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent (in the Administrative Agent's sole discretion).

     Administrative 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 the Seller Parties and Purchaser which
     are necessary or desirable, in the determination of the Administrative
     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 8.6 RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE SELLER PARTIES.

     Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding:

     (a)  CONTRACTS. Each Seller Party shall remain responsible for performing
all of its obligations (if any) under the Contracts related to the Pool
Receivables and under the related agreements to the same extent as if the Asset
Interest had not been sold hereunder, and the exercise by the Administrative
Agent or its designee of its rights hereunder shall not relieve any Seller Party
from such obligations.


                                       36



     (b)  LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. The Administrative Agent and Purchaser shall
not have any obligation or liability with respect to any Pool Receivables,
Contracts related thereto or any other related agreements, nor shall any of them
be obligated to perform any of the obligations of any Seller Party or any
Originator thereunder.

     SECTION 8.7 FURTHER ACTION EVIDENCING PURCHASES AND REINVESTMENTS.

     (a) FURTHER ASSURANCES. Each Seller Party agrees that from time to time, at
its expense, it will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and
documents, and take all further action that the Administrative Agent or its
designee may reasonably request in order to perfect, protect or more fully
evidence the Purchases hereunder and the resulting Asset Interest, or to enable
Purchaser or the Administrative 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 Administrative 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;

          (ii) upon the request of the Administrative Agent after the occurrence
     and during the continuance of a Liquidation Event, mark conspicuously each
     Contract evidencing each Pool Receivable with a legend, acceptable to the
     Administrative Agent, evidencing that the Asset Interest has been sold in
     accordance with this Agreement; and

          (iii) mark its master data processing records evidencing such Pool
     Receivables and related Contracts with a legend, acceptable to the
     Administrative Agent, evidencing that the Asset Interest has been sold in
     accordance with this Agreement.

     (b)  ADDITIONAL FINANCING STATEMENTS; PERFORMANCE BY ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT.
Each Seller Party hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent, on the Purchaser's
behalf, or its designee to file one or more financing or continuation
statements, and amendments thereto and assignments thereof, relative to all or
any of the Pool Receivables and the Related Assets now existing or hereafter
arising in the name of any Seller Party. If any Seller Party fails to promptly
execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, on the Purchaser's behalf, any
financing statement or continuation statement or amendment thereto or assignment
thereof requested by the Administrative Agent, on the Purchaser's behalf, each
Seller Party hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent, on the Purchaser's
behalf, 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 Administrative 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 Administrative Agent or its
designee incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the Seller Parties
as provided in SECTION 14.5.

     (c)  CONTINUATION STATEMENTS; OPINION. Without limiting the generality of
SUBSECTION (a), the Seller will, not earlier than six (6) months and not later
than three (3) months


                                       37



prior to the fifth anniversary of the date of filing of the financing statements
referred to in SECTION 5.1(a) 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) if necessary, 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 Administrative Agent an
     opinion of the counsel for the Seller Parties (which may be an opinion of
     in-house counsel for the Seller Parties), in form and substance reasonably
     satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, confirming and updating the
     opinion delivered pursuant to SECTION 5.1(a) to the effect that the Asset
     Interest hereunder continues to be a valid and perfected ownership or
     security interest, subject to no other Liens of record except as provided
     herein or otherwise permitted hereunder.

     SECTION 8.8 APPLICATION OF COLLECTIONS.

     Any payment by an Obligor in respect of any indebtedness owed by it to any
Originator or Seller shall, except as otherwise specified by such Obligor or
required by the underlying Contract or law, be applied, first, as a Collection
of any Pool Receivable or Receivables then outstanding of such Obligor in the
order of the age of such Pool Receivables, starting with the oldest of such Pool
Receivables and, second, to any other indebtedness of such Obligor.

the other Transaction Documents and (c) all proceeds of any of the foregoing.

     SECTION 9.2 FURTHER ASSURANCES.

Interests hereunder.

or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Administrative
Agent (except a Seller Party may delegate certain administrative duties to an
Affiliate, such as payroll, financial reporting, tax and the like, so long as
such Seller Party remains liable for performance of such duties). The Purchaser
may not assign its rights hereunder (although it may delegate its duties
hereunder as expressly indicated herein) or the Asset Interest (or any portion
thereof) to any Person without the prior written consent of the Seller, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that

          (i) The Purchaser may assign all of its rights and interests in the
     Transaction Documents, together with all its interest in the Asset
     Interest, to any Liquidity Bank, Wachovia, or any Affiliate thereof, or to
     any "bankruptcy remote" special purpose entity, the business of which is
     administered by Wachovia or any Affiliate thereof (which assignee shall
     then be subject to this ARTICLE XII); and

          (ii) The Purchaser may assign and grant a security interest in all of
     its rights in the Transaction Documents, together with all of its rights
     and interest in the Asset Interest, to secure the Purchaser's obligations
     under or in connection with the Commercial Paper Notes, the Liquidity
     Agreement, and certain other obligations of the Purchaser incurred in
     connection with the funding of the Purchases and Reinvestments hereunder,
     which assignment and grant of a security interest shall not be considered
     an "assignment" for purposes of SECTION 12.1(b) or, prior to the
     enforcement of such security interest, for purposes of any other provision
     of this Agreement (other than SECTION 12.3).

     (b)  The Seller agrees to advise the Administrative Agent within five (5)

consent to such assignment, the Purchaser may immediately or at any time
thereafter assign


                                       43



such Asset Interest (or portion thereof) to any Person or Persons permitted

     SECTION 12.3  TERMS AND EVIDENCE OF ASSIGNMENT.

     Any assignment of the Asset Interest (or any portion thereof) to any Person

evidenced by such instrument(s) or document(s) as may be satisfactory to the
Purchaser, the Administrative Agent and the assignee.

     SECTION 12.4  RIGHTS OF LIQUIDITY BANKS.

hereunder, with respect to the Asset Interest (or any portions thereof), and
Collections with respect thereto, which are owned by the Purchaser, and all
other rights and interests of the Purchaser in, to or under this Agreement or
any other Transaction Document. Without limiting the foregoing, upon such notice
or at any time thereafter (but subject to any conditions applicable to the
exercise of such rights by the Administrative Agent), the Liquidity Banks may
request the Master Servicer to segregate Purchaser's allocable shares of
Collections from the Seller's allocable share, may give a Successor Notice
pursuant to and in accordance with SECTION 8.1(b), may give or require the
Administrative Agent to give notice to the Lockbox Banks as referred to in
SECTION 8.5(b) and may direct the Obligors of Pool Receivables to make payments
in respect thereof directly to an account designated by them, in each case, to
the same extent as the Administrative Agent might have done.

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; the Seller further agrees to
indemnify any agent (which is not otherwise an Indemnified Party) of any of
Wachovia, the Administrative Agent, the Purchaser, the Liquidity Banks, and the
Liquidity Agent forthwith on demand, from and against any and all Indemnified
Amounts awarded against or incurred by any of them arising out of or caused by

expressly agreed to in writing by the Seller). Without limiting the foregoing,
the Seller shall indemnify each Indemnified Party for Indemnified Amounts
arising out of or relating to:

     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; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in
     the case of any representation, warranty or information that was not made
     or delivered in writing, indemnification shall be available to an
     Indemnified Party hereunder only if such representation, warranty or
     information was reasonably relied upon by such Indemnified Party;

          (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 Purchaser 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 the Purchaser or the Administrative 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;


                                       45



          (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 3.2(a);

          (viii) any failure of any Seller Party, as the Master Servicer or
     otherwise, to perform its duties or obligations in accordance with the
     provisions of ARTICLE III or ARTICLE VIII;

          (ix) any product liability claim arising out of or in connection with
     merchandise or services that are the subject of any Pool Receivable;

          (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
     franchise taxes or 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.

     (c)  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 13.1(a)(xi), such Indemnified Party shall give prompt and timely notice
of such attempt to the Seller and the 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.

     (d)  CONTRIBUTION. If for any reason the indemnification provided above in
this SECTION 13.1 (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 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

                                       46



Indemnified Party on the one hand and the Seller on the other hand but also the
relative fault of such Indemnified Party as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations.

     SECTION 13.2  INDEMNITIES BY MASTER SERVICER.

     Without limiting any other rights which any Indemnified Party may have
hereunder or under applicable law, the Master 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 Master 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 the Master 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 the Master 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,
or the failure of the Master Servicer to comply with any applicable law, rule or
regulation with respect to any Pool Receivable or the related Contract;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in the case of any representation, warranty or
information that was not made or delivered in writing, indemnification shall be
available to an Indemnified Party hereunder only if such representation,
warranty or information was reasonably relied upon by such Indemnified Party.
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. The Master Servicer further agrees to indemnify any agent (which is
not otherwise an Indemnified Party) of any of Wachovia, the Administrative
Agent, the Purchaser, the Liquidity Banks, and the Liquidity Agent forthwith on
demand, from and against any and all Indemnified Amounts awarded against or
incurred by any of them arising out of or caused by the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of the Master Servicer (unless otherwise expressly agreed to
in writing by the Master Servicer).

            If for any reason the indemnification provided above in this SECTION
13.2 (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 Master 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 Master Servicer on the other
hand but also the relative fault of such Indemnified Party as well as any other
relevant equitable considerations.

                                   ARTICLE XIV

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

     SECTION 14.1  AMENDMENTS, ETC.

            No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement nor
consent to any departure by any Seller Party therefrom shall in any event be
effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by (a) each Seller
Party, the Administrative Agent and the Purchaser (with

                                       47



respect to an amendment), or (b) the Administrative Agent and the Purchaser
(with respect to a waiver or consent by them) or any Seller Party (with respect
to a waiver or consent by it), as the case may be, and then such waiver or
consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific
purpose for which given. The parties acknowledge that, before entering into such
an amendment or granting such a waiver or consent, the Purchaser may also be
required to obtain the approval of some or all of the Liquidity Banks or to
obtain confirmation from certain rating agencies that such amendment, waiver or
consent will not result in a withdrawal or reduction of the ratings of the
Commercial Paper Notes.

     SECTION 14.2  NOTICES, ETC.

     All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall, unless
otherwise stated herein, be in writing (including facsimile communication) and
shall be personally delivered or sent by express mail or courier or by certified
mail, postage prepaid, or by facsimile, to the intended party at the address or
facsimile number of such party set forth on SCHEDULE 14.2 or at such other
address or facsimile number as shall be designated by such party in a written
notice to the other parties hereto. All such notices and communications shall be
effective, (a) if personally delivered or sent by express mail or courier or if
sent by certified mail, when received, and (b) if transmitted by facsimile, when
sent, receipt confirmed by telephone or electronic means; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that the financial statements required to be delivered by SECTIONS 7.2(a),
7.2(b), 7.2(c) and 7.2(d) shall be deemed delivered on the date such financial
statements are deposited in the United States mail with first class postage
prepaid, addressed to the intended party at the address as set forth on SCHEDULE
14.2 or at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written
notice to the other parties hereto.

     SECTION 14.3  NO WAIVER; REMEDIES.

     No failure on the part of the Administrative Agent, any Affected Party, any
Indemnified Party, the Purchaser or any other holder of the Asset Interest (or
any portion thereof) to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right
hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof
or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative
and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law. Without limiting the
foregoing, each of Wachovia, individually, and as Administrative Agent and each
Liquidity Bank is hereby authorized by the Seller at any time and from time to
time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all
deposits (general or special, time or demand provisional or final) at any time
held and other indebtedness at any time owing by Wachovia and such Liquidity
Bank to or for the credit or the account of the Seller, against any and all of
the obligations of the Seller now or hereafter existing under this Agreement, to
the Administrative Agent, any Affected Party, any Indemnified Party or
Purchaser, or their respective successors and assigns.

     SECTION 14.4  BINDING EFFECT; SURVIVAL.

     This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each
Seller Party, the Administrative Agent, the Purchaser and their respective
successors and assigns, and the provisions of SECTION 4.2 and ARTICLE XIII shall

                                       48



the Indemnified Parties, respectively, and their respective successors and
assigns; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, nothing in the foregoing shall be deemed to
authorize any assignment not permitted by SECTION 12.1. This Agreement shall
create and constitute the continuing obligations of the parties hereto in
accordance with its terms, and shall remain in full force and effect until the
Final Payout Date. The rights and remedies with respect to any breach of any
representation and warranty made by the Seller pursuant to ARTICLE VI and the
indemnification and payment provisions of ARTICLE XIII and SECTIONS 4.2, 14.5,
14.6, 14.7 and 14.15 shall be continuing and shall survive any termination of
this Agreement.

     In addition to its obligations under ARTICLE XIII, the Seller Parties
jointly and severally agree to pay on demand:

          (a) all costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, any
     Liquidity Bank, the Purchaser and their respective Affiliates in connection
     with:

               (i) the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of this
          Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or the Liquidity Agreement
          (except as otherwise provided in the Mandate Letter), any amendment of
          or consent or waiver under any of the Transaction Documents which is
          requested or proposed by any Seller Party (whether or not
          consummated), or the enforcement by any of the foregoing Persons of,
          or any actual or claimed breach of, this Agreement or any of the other
          Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, the reasonable
          fees and expenses of counsel to any of such Persons incurred in
          connection with any of the foregoing or in advising such Persons as to
          their respective rights and remedies under any of the Transaction
          Documents in connection with any of the foregoing, and

               (ii) the administration (including periodic auditing as provided
          for herein) of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents,
          including, without limitation, all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
          (including reasonable fees and expenses of independent accountants),
          incurred in connection with any review of any Seller Party's books and
          records either prior to the execution and delivery hereof but subject
          to the provisions of the Fee Letter or pursuant to SECTION 7.1(c),
          subject to the limitations set forth in such SECTION 7.1(c); and

          (b) all stamp and other taxes and fees payable or determined to be
     payable in connection with the execution, delivery, filing and recording of
     this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents (and the Seller Parties,
     jointly and severally agree to indemnify each Indemnified Party against any
     liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay in paying or
     omission to pay such taxes and fees).

          SECTION 14.6  NO PROCEEDINGS.

     The Master Servicer hereby agrees that it will not institute against the
Seller, or join any Person in instituting against the Seller, and each Seller
Party, the Master Servicer and Wachovia


                                       49



(individually or as Administrative Agent) hereby agrees that it will not
institute against the Purchaser, or join any other Person in instituting against
the Purchaser, any insolvency proceeding (namely, any proceeding of the type
referred to in the definition of Event of Bankruptcy) so long as any Commercial
Paper Notes issued by the Purchaser shall be outstanding or there shall not have
elapsed one year plus one day since the last day on which any such Commercial
Paper Notes shall have been outstanding.

     SECTION 14.7  CONFIDENTIALITY OF SELLER INFORMATION.

     (a) CONFIDENTIAL SELLER INFORMATION. Each party hereto (other than Seller
Parties) acknowledges that certain of the information provided to such party by
or on behalf of the Seller Parties in connection with this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated hereby is or may be confidential, and each such party
severally agrees that, unless the Master Servicer shall otherwise agree in
writing, and except as provided in SUBSECTION (b), such party will not disclose
to any other person or entity:

          (i)  any information regarding, or copies of, any nonpublic financial
     statements, reports, schedules and other information furnished by any
     Seller Party to the Purchaser or the Administrative Agent (A) prior to the
     date hereof in connection with such party's due diligence relating to the
     Seller Parties and the transactions contemplated hereby, or (B) pursuant to
     this Agreement, including without limitation, SECTION 3.1, 5.1, 6.1(i),
     7.1(c) or 7.2, or

          (ii) any other information regarding any Seller Party which is
     designated by any Seller Party to such party in writing as confidential

(the information referred to in CLAUSES (i) and (ii) above, whether furnished by
any Seller Party or any attorney for or other representative thereof (each a
"SELLER INFORMATION PROVIDER"), is collectively referred to as the "SELLER
INFORMATION"); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, Seller Information shall not include any
information which is or becomes generally available to the general public or to
such party on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than any Seller
Information Provider, or which was known to such party on a nonconfidential
basis prior to its disclosure by any Seller Information Provider.

     (b) DISCLOSURE. Notwithstanding SUBSECTION (a), each party may disclose any
Seller Information:

          (i)  to any of such party's independent attorneys, consultants and
     auditors, and to any dealer or placement agent for the Purchaser's
     commercial paper, who (A) in the good faith belief of such party, have a
     need to know such Seller Information, and (B) are informed by such party of
     the confidential nature of the Seller Information and the terms of this
     SECTION 14.7 and has agreed, verbally or otherwise, to be bound by the
     provisions of this SECTION 14.7,

          (ii) to any Liquidity Bank, any actual or potential assignees of, or
     participants in, any rights or obligations of the Purchaser, any Liquidity
     Bank or the Administrative


                                       50



     Agent under or in connection with this Agreement who has agreed to be bound
     by the provisions of this SECTION 14.7,

          (iii) to any rating agency that maintains a rating for the Purchaser's
     commercial paper or is considering the issuance of such a rating, for the
     purposes of reviewing the credit of the Purchaser in connection with such
     rating,

          (iv) to any other party to this Agreement (and any independent
     attorneys, consultants and auditors of such party), for the purposes
     contemplated hereby,

          (v) as may be required by any municipal, state, federal or other
     regulatory body having or claiming to have jurisdiction over such party, in
     order to comply with any law, order, regulation, regulatory request or
     ruling applicable to such party,

          (vi) subject to SUBSECTION (c), in the event such party is legally
     compelled (by interrogatories, requests for information or copies,
     subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process) to disclose such
     Seller Information, or

          (vii) in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement or any
     other Transaction Document.

In addition, the Purchaser and the Administrative Agent may disclose on a "no
name" basis to any actual or potential investor in Purchaser's Commercial Paper
Notes information regarding the nature of this Agreement, the basic terms hereof
(including without limitation the amount and nature of the Purchaser's
commitment and Invested Amount with respect to the Asset Interest and any other
credit enhancement provided by any Seller Party hereunder), the nature, amount
and status of the Pool Receivables, and the current and/or historical ratios of
losses to liquidations and/or outstandings with respect to the Receivables Pool.

     (c) LEGAL COMPULSION. In the event that any party hereto (other than any
Seller Party) or any of its representatives is requested or becomes legally
compelled (by interrogatories, requests for information or documents, subpoena,
civil investigative demand or similar process) to disclose any of the Seller
Information, such party will (or will cause its representative to):

          (i) provide the Master Servicer with prompt written notice so that (A)
     the Master Servicer may seek a protective order or other appropriate
     remedy, or (B) the Master Servicer may, if it so chooses, agree that such
     party (or its representatives) may disclose such Seller Information
     pursuant to such request or legal compulsion; and

          (ii) unless the Master Servicer agrees that such Seller Information
     may be disclosed, make a timely objection to the request or compulsion to
     provide such Seller Information on the basis that such Seller Information
     is confidential and subject to the agreements contained in this SECTION
     14.7.

In the event such protective order or remedy is not obtained, or the Master
Servicer agrees that such Seller Information may be disclosed, such party will
furnish only that portion of the Seller


                                       51



Information which (in such party's good faith judgment) is legally required to
be furnished and will exercise reasonable efforts to obtain reliable assurance
that confidential treatment will be afforded the Seller Information.

          (d)  This SECTION 14.7 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

     SECTION 14.8   [RESERVED].

[LOCKBOX BANK]

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Reference is made to our Lockbox account no. _____________ maintained with you
(the "ACCOUNT") pursuant to a Lockbox agreement between the undersigned and you,
the terms and conditions of which are incorporated herein by reference (the
"LOCKBOX AGREEMENT"). Pursuant to a Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated as of
June 19, 2000, as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time,
among the undersigned, as seller, and LPAC Corp., as purchaser, we have sold
and/or may hereafter sell to LPAC Corp. certain of the accounts, chattel paper,
instruments or general intangibles (collectively, "RECEIVABLES") with respect to
which payments are or may hereafter be made to the Account. Pursuant to a
Receivables Purchase Agreement, dated as of June 19, 2000 (as amended,
supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the "RECEIVABLES PURCHASE
AGREEMENT"), among LPAC Corp., as seller, Lennox Industries Inc., as master
servicer ("MASTER SERVICER") (LPAC Corp. and the Master Servicer being referred
to hereinafter collectively as the "SELLER PARTIES"), Blue Ridge Asset Funding
Corporation ("BLUE RIDGE"), as purchaser and Wachovia Bank, N.A., as
administrative agent (the "ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT"), LPAC Corp. has assigned
and/or may hereafter assign to Blue Ridge an undivided percentage interest in
the Receivables.

For purposes of this letter agreement, Wachovia Bank, N.A. is acting as
Administrative Agent for Blue Ridge. We hereby transfer exclusive ownership and
control of the Account to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Blue
Ridge, subject only to the condition subsequent that the Administrative Agent
shall have given you notice of its election to assume such ownership and
control, which notice shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as
ANNEX A.

We hereby irrevocably instruct you, at all times from and after the date of your
receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent of its assumption of control of
the Account as described above, (i) to make all payments to be made by you out
of or in connection with the Account directly to the Administrative Agent in
accordance with the instructions of the Administrative Agent, (ii) to hold all
moneys and instruments delivered to the Account or any Lockbox administered by
you for the order of the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of Blue Ridge),
(iii) to refrain from initiating any transfer from the Account to any Seller
Party and (iv) to change the name of the Account to "Wachovia Bank, N.A., as
Administrative Agent for Blue Ridge Asset Funding Corporation". The
Administrative Agent agrees to execute your standard wire transfer





documentation in effect from time to time, or other customary documentation
related to wire transfers, prior to the initiation of any wire transfers.

We also hereby notify you that, at all times from and after the date of your
receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent as described above, the
Administrative Agent shall be irrevocably entitled to exercise in our place and
stead any and all rights in respect of or in connection with the Account,
including, without limitation, (a) the right to specify when payments are to be
made out of or in connection with the Account and (b) the right to require
preparation of duplicate monthly bank statements on the Account for the
Administrative Agent's audit purposes and mailing of such statements directly to
the Administrative Agent at an address specified by the Administrative Agent.

Notices from the Administrative Agent and other notices or communications under
this letter agreement may be personally served or sent by facsimile or by
certified mail, return receipt requested, or by express mail or courier, to the
address or facsimile number set forth under the signature of the relevant party
to this letter agreement (or to such other address or facsimile number as the
relevant party shall have designated by written notice to the party giving the
aforesaid notice or other communication). Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
notice delivered by you may be delivered by regular mail. If notice is given by
facsimile, it will be deemed to have been received when the notice is sent and
receipt is confirmed by telephone or other electronic means. All other notices
will be deemed to have been received when actually received or, in the case of
personal delivery, delivered.

By executing this letter agreement, you acknowledge the existence of the
Administrative Agent's right to ownership and control of the Account and its
ownership (on behalf of Blue Ridge and LPAC Corp. as the parties having
interests in such amounts) of the amounts from time to time on deposit therein,
and agree that from the date hereof the Account shall be maintained by you for
the benefit of, and amounts from time to time therein held by you for, the
Administrative Agent (on behalf of Blue Ridge and LPAC Corp.) on the terms
provided herein. Except as otherwise provided in this letter agreement, payments
to the Account are to be processed in accordance with the standard procedures
currently in effect. All service charges and fees with respect to the Account
shall continue to be payable by us as under the arrangements currently in
effect.

By executing this letter agreement, you irrevocably waive and agree not to
assert, claim or endeavor to exercise, irrevocably bar and estop yourself from
asserting, claiming or exercising, and acknowledge that you have not heretofore
received a notice, writ, order or any form of legal process from any other party
asserting, claiming or exercising, any right of set-off, banker's lien or other
purported form of claim with respect to the Account or any funds from time to
time therein. Except for your right to payment of your service charges and fees
and your right to make deductions for returned items, you shall have no rights
in the Account or funds therein. To the extent you may ever have such rights,
you hereby expressly subordinate all such rights to all rights of the
Administrative Agent.

You may terminate this letter agreement by canceling the Account maintained with
you, which cancellation and termination shall become effective only upon 90
days' prior written notice





thereof from you to the Administrative Agent. Incoming mail addressed to the
Account received after such cancellation shall be forwarded in accordance with
the Administrative Agent's instructions. This letter agreement may also be
terminated upon written notice to you by the Administrative Agent stating that
the Receivables Purchase Agreement is no longer in effect. Except as otherwise
provided in this paragraph, this letter agreement may not be terminated or
amended without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this letter agreement, it is agreed by
the parties hereto that you shall not be liable to Blue Ridge or the
Administrative Agent for any action taken by you or any of your directors,
officers, agents or employees in accordance with this letter agreement at the
request of the Administrative Agent, except for your or such person's own gross
negligence or willful misconduct.

This letter agreement may be executed by the signatories hereto in several
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which
shall together constitute but one and the same letter agreement. This letter
agreement shall be governed by and interpreted under the laws of the State of
New York.

Please acknowledge your agreement to the terms set forth in this letter
agreement by signing the six copies of this letter agreement enclosed herewith
in the space provided below and returning each of such signed copies to the
Administrative Agent.

                                           Very truly yours,

                          CREDIT AND COLLECTION POLICY





                             LENNOX INDUSTRIES INC.

                                   SUMMARY OF
                         CREDIT AND COLLECTION POLICIES




I.   CREDIT DEPARTMENT

     Credit administration at Lennox Industries Inc. ("Lennox") is performed by
the Customer Financial Services Department ("CFS"). CFS functions under the
supervision of its managers, whose performance is directed and evaluated by the
Controller for North American Sales.

     INTERACTION WITH SALES AREAS. CFS Administrators should meet with all new
Territory Managers to advise them of the procedures relating to the
establishment and maintenance of favorable credit-sales relationships with
Lennox customers. CFS Administrators should supply each new Territory Manager
with copies of all applicable credit and collection policies, procedures and
forms.

          ACCOUNT STATUS INFORMATION. CFS personnel should keep each Territory
Manager informed as to the account status of the customers in his or her
territory. CFS will regularly send or make available electronically for each
Territory Manager, a summarized aging on all accounts in his/her territory to
keep the Territory Manager apprised of the exact status of each account in his
or her territory. The detailed information supporting the summarized aging may
be obtained from CFS upon request and can be accessed from the Customer Master
SAP Screen in the field. The Territory Manager should have adequate information
at all times on each account in his or her territory and the status of each such
account.

          CUSTOMER CORRESPONDENCE. CFS personnel should also, where possible,
routinely copy the Territory Managers on customer correspondence, including
collection letters, and copy the District Managers on all relevant important
matters. Copies of all debit memos regarding accounts should be provided to the
applicable Territory Manager so that he or she may promptly dispose of them.

          CUSTOMER CHANGES. CFS personnel will frequently review all customer
accounts including the purchasing and payment patterns of each account. CFS will
alert the Territory Manager to any significant changes in these patterns so that
he/she can investigate the changes and inform CFS as to the reasons for the
changes. Each Territory Manager should endeavor to keep CFS informed of any
change in any customer's status or any matter that would otherwise affect the
collectibility of any account. To the extent CFS personnel deem reasonably
necessary, CFS personnel should make customer visits to inquire about any
significant changes in a customer's purchasing and payment patterns.






II.  CREDIT POLICY AND PROCEDURES

     DETERMINATION OF CREDIT LIMITS. Credit lines are used to cover well-rated
accounts and small accounts whose normal pattern of purchases is not likely to
create any unreasonable credit exposure. The credit limit should be sufficient
to cover each customer's needs to the extent of its ability to pay.

     All credit limits will usually be established by CFS on the basis of two
major factors: the customer's purchase requirement of Lennox products and its
past and projected future paying ability. A financial statement is requested in
connection with all new dealer credit applications. CFS Administrators may, in
their discretion, but are not required to require financial statements for other
customer classifications.

     CFS should also consider the following in establishing customer credit
limits:

     1.   Profitability--a track record of profit and sound growth.
     2.   Capability--technical and business management ability.
     3.   Character and reputation of the customer.
     4.   The proper maintenance of accounting records to produce a financial
          statement on a regular basis.
     5.   Banking relationships--borrowing capacity.

     Once CFS has established the credit line, it should be assigned for a
specific period of time. CFS will regularly review the adequacy of the terms or
changes in the customer's requirements or financial position. The timing between
reviews should not exceed 12 months. CFS personnel will note in the customer's
file the date of the last review and who performed such review.

     APPROVAL OF ORDERS. Order approval is the responsibility of CFS. Each order
is noted as to its source of credit approval, whether this is through the
automatic approval system or from personal contact with CFS. When an order is
not approved, the cause of the delay should be immediately communicated to the
customer and the appropriate sales person.

     If CFS is asked to approve orders weeks or months in advance of the
shipping date, CFS may approve the order in advance, but shall re-review the
order prior to shipment. CFS may also authorize partial release of an order,
pending receipt of additional information.

     DEVIATIONS AND ORDERS EXCEEDING CREDIT LIMITS. All personnel are to adhere
to the customer credit limits as established and administered by CFS. Any
deviations or exceptions may be approved only by CFS.

     CFS may approve orders exceeding a customer's credit limit after reviewing
the account and determining that extending additional credit to such customer is
merited. In connection with the review of the account, CFS may determine whether
the liabilities of the customer are in





balance with its assets and whether or not other trade payments have been made
promptly. CFS may also review the credit worthiness of those responsible for
paying our customer, or require bonding information, or pre-lien jobs or
projects. CFS will consider the request in connection with existing conditions
in the economy, changes in the customer's paying habits and any deterioration in
the customer's financial position. If CFS cannot obtain satisfactory information
to support the extension of additional credit, such extension will not be made
unless some form of collateral security can be obtained or other special
arrangements to reduce the risk can be established. The decision to accept
collateral security or such other special arrangements shall be made by CFS on a
case by case basis.

     USE OF SECURITY INTERESTS OR PERSONAL GUARANTEES. In the event CFS
determines that credit may be extended if collateral security or a personal
guaranty is obtained, CFS should obtain legal assistance from its in-house or
outside legal counsel to assist it with the preparation of the documentation.

     PROCEDURES WITH RESPECT TO NEW ACCOUNTS. Prior to establishing any open
account for a new customer, CFS will evaluate the risk associated with a
prospective customer and expedite the approval of the first order or advise the
Territory Manager that the customer does not meet open account requirements. If
an order is received from a customer for which an account has not been
established, it will not be processed and the Territory Manager will be promptly
notified of such fact.

          STEPS FOR SETTING UP NEW ACCOUNTS. CFS shall take the following steps
in connection with establishing new accounts:


     1.   Each new customer shall complete a Customer Application. All
          customer applications must be completely filled out and signed by the
          customer, Territory Manager and District Manager.

     2.   Upon receipt of the Customer Application, CFS should immediately
          make inquiries with the trade references listed on the application by
          the customer and the customer's bank. The CFS Administrator
          responsible for the account will determine, in his or her discretion,
          whether to require financial statements, Dun & Bradstreet and/or
          credit association reports. A financial statement is requested with
          all new dealer applications.

     3.   A copy of the application will be sent to the Customer Maintenance
          Department for setting up a customer number, a default terms code,
          purchase order requirements, tax status and the like.

     4.   Customer Applications will be placed in a suspense file pending
          receipt of the requested information.





     5.   Upon receipt of all necessary information, the CFS Administrator
          responsible for the account will determine the appropriate terms, risk
          category and credit line to be extended to the customer.

     6.   CFS will then establish a file for the new customer containing any
          financial statements, credit agency reports, answers to credit and
          reference inquiries and other confidential financial information.

     7.   CFS will notify the customer and the Territory Manager by letter of
          the terms and credit guideline assigned to the new account. The terms
          of the account will provide a limit for the account to operate within
          without obtaining the approval of CFS with respect to each individual
          order the customer places.


III. COLLECTIONS POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

     CFS handles all collection correspondence. The procedures CFS utilizes in
its collection activities should take into consideration the applicable customer
and the relevant circumstances and should be appropriate to maximizing
collections.

     DELINQUENT ACCOUNT COLLECTION PROCEDURES.

     Lennox utilizes a computer software program to send reminder statements and
demand letters in connection with its collection procedures.

     CFS should also maintain records of all telephone conversations and
commitments with each customer in the "Notes" SECTION of the customer's account
in the SAP and/or GetPAID computer system. CFS may also send confirmation of
commitments by letter, fax, or e-mail.

          PROMISSORY NOTES. Acceptance of a promissory note in payment of a
customer's past due account is generally to be avoided. However, there are
certain occasions when CFS may determine that delayed payment of a receivable is
the only realistic method of obtaining payment and may be acceptable. The
following guidelines should be observed:

     1.   Any note arrangement must be reviewed and approved by the appropriate
          CFS manager or other management as appropriate, prior to acceptance.
     2.   Notes should be guaranteed by the principals to insure personal
          liability.
     3.   Notes should bear interest at a rate above the then prevailing prime
          rate and accrued interest should be included in the payment.
     4.   Payments should be no less frequent than monthly and the note should
          preferably mature in less than one year.
     5.   Collateral should be obtained with a value
          exceeding the principal amount of the note.






     PROCEDURES WITH RESPECT TO BAD ACCOUNTS. In the event an account becomes
seriously past due and CFS collection efforts are not productive, CFS will
determine the method it deems best to collect the account. CFS may elect, in its
discretion, to use an attorney or place it with a collection agency. CFS will
endeavor to recognize bad accounts as early as possible and place them for
collection quickly in order to maximize recovery.

          WRITE-OFF POLICIES AND PROCEDURES. CFS will follow-up with the
appropriate attorney or collection agency on accounts placed for collection. CFS
should maintain written documentation as to the status of each such account at
all times. CFS will review the status of these accounts every 60-90 days and
those that are deemed reasonably uncollectable by the agency or attorney will be
written off to bad debts. If, however, in the opinion of the counsel or the
agency, the account can be collected in full in a reasonable period of time, the
account should not be written off.

     PAYMENT TERMS

     Lennox standard terms of sale are 1% cash discount within 10 days of
     statement date, net due 15 days after statement date (1% 10-Net 15/stmt).

     From time to time sales are made with terms other than standard for various
     marketing promotions or other reasons.

     Lennox also offers extended terms not to exceed 90 days from the date of
     invoice for non-promotional business purposes.

               PROTECTING THE CREDIT SALE. Alternatives to sale on open account
may be considered by CFS and implemented.

     1.   Time Drafts. A time draft may constitute a draw on an existing or
future credit line that the customer has with a bank and therefore must be
pre-arranged. The CFS obtains customer's bank's approval on the bank's
letterhead of the date to present the time draft. The maturity specifies as a
certain number (usually 60) of days after shipment as previously agreed with the
customer.

     2.   Domestic Letters of Credit. Letters of credit may be used for either
specific shipments or on a standby basis for a continuing relationship. Issued
by the customer's bank, on the customer's behalf, the terms and duration are
negotiated to mutual satisfaction and set forth in a bank letter of credit. Care
must be taken to be sure that these instruments are drafted in a manner most
beneficial to Lennox.

     3.   Joint Payment Agreements. Joint payment agreements may be arranged
with a general contractor/owner in conjunction with a sale to our customer who
is a subcontractor. Before the Territory Manager suggests or obtains such a
joint payment agreement, approval must





be obtained from CFS with respect to the credit risk associated with the general
contractor/owner.

     4.   C.O.D. C.O.D. shipment is to be made when the customer does not want a
credit line and other alternatives are not available. One time sales are often
handled in this manner. Caution must be taken prior to accepting the customer's
check in connection with a C.O.D. shipment. If any doubt exists as to the
sufficiency of the customer's check, a cashier's or certified check should be
requested.

     5.   Paid in Advance. Check must be in hand prior to release.

     6.   Credit Card. Each order must have a credit card approval number prior
to release.

     PROCEDURES RELATING TO DISPUTED RECEIVABLES.

     Any disputed item is referred to the dispute management team who contacts
the appropriate internal departments, Territory Managers, or District Managers
to resolve the dispute as quickly as possible.








                                                                     EXHIBIT C-2


                                 HEATCRAFT INC.
                          CREDIT AND COLLECTION POLICY





                             HEATCRAFT CREDIT POLICY



ROLE OF CREDIT DEPARTMENT

The Heatcraft Credit Department is responsible for assessing the credit
worthiness of potential new Heatcraft customers and administering credit to
existing customers in a fair and consistent manner to both Heatcraft and the
customer. The Heatcraft Credit Department is also responsible for the timely
collection of the accounts receivable balances due Heatcraft and to ensure that
the cash collected is applied correctly to the account balance as directed by
the customer. If a customer or potential customer is deemed to be a credit risk
or unworthy of additional credit the appropriate Heatcraft sales representative
will be made aware of this situation and future credit sales will be denied to
the customer until the credit department is satisfied that the customer's credit
worthiness has improved. In situations where it is questionable if Heatcraft
should do business with the customer the Division senior management will decide
if the risk is warranted. The senior management includes the Division General
Manager, Division Controller and the Sales Manager. There may be situations
where the credit departments decision is overridden concerning the extension of
credit to a customer but if this happens it will only be done based on the joint
decision of the Division senior management team.

PROCEDURES USED TO CARRY OUT CREDIT POLICY

For potential new customers the credit department will request that the customer
supply pertinent general and financial information regarding the business. The
credit department will try to get current copies of income statements and
balance sheets but often the customers will refuse to provide this information.
In addition the credit department may run a Dunn & Bradstreet check on the
customer as well as request the sales representative to provide whatever
information he may have on the customer. This information will be used to
determine if the customer is credit worthy for Heatcraft to do business with the
customer.

For existing customers the credit department will monitor the on going sales
order and payment activity of the customer and establish credit limits based on
historical activity with the customer. Sales orders from customers who are
current with Heatcraft will automatically be entered into the Heatcraft sales
order system as long as the current account balance plus the value of the orders
in question are below their credit limit. Once the credit limit is reached the
Credit Department will decide whether or not to release the order for production
and shipment.

The Credit Department is responsible for following up on past due account
balances and collecting them in a timely manner through dunning letters and
personal telephone calls to the customer. The sales representative will also be
contacted and asked to help in the





collection activity if the Credit Representative is unable to make any progress
in collecting the account. After a period of time (usually 120 days) if the
account is still uncollected and there is not a satisfactory reason for
withholding payment a collection agency or the LII legal department will be used
to assist in the collection process.

Accounts that are deemed uncollectable due to the customer filing bankruptcy or
going out of business will be written off as a bad debt by the accounting
department. The Division Controller is responsible for approving all accounts
that are written off to bad debts and for insuring that the bad debt reserve is
adequate to cover potential accounts that may become uncollectable.








                                                                     EXHIBIT C-3

The Armstrong Credit Department is responsible for assessing the credit
worthiness of potential new Armstrong customers and administering credit to
existing customers in a fair and consistent manner to both Armstrong and the
customer. The Armstrong Credit Department is also responsible for the timely
collection of the accounts receivable balances due Armstrong and to ensure that
the cash collected is applied correctly to the account balance as directed by
the customer. If a customer or potential customer is deemed to be a credit risk
or unworthy of additional credit, the appropriate Armstrong sales representative
will be made aware of this situation and future credit sales will be denied to
the customer until the Credit Department is satisfied that the customer's credit
worthiness has improved. In situations where it is questionable if Armstrong
should do business with the customer, the senior management will decide if the
risk is warranted. The senior management includes the Group Controller and the
Vice President - Sales. There may be situations where the Credit Department's
decision is overridden concerning the extension of credit to a customer, but if
this happens it will only be done based on the joint decision of the senior
management team.

order and payment activity of the customer and establish credit criteria based
