Investor) to the Agent’s Account, for application to the reduction of the outstanding Capital and accrued Yield on such Receivable Interest of such Investor.

(c) Effective on the date of each purchase pursuant to this Section 2.02 and each reinvestment pursuant to Section 2.04, the Seller hereby sells and assigns to the Agent, for the benefit of the parties making such purchase, an undivided percentage ownership interest, to the extent of the Receivable Interest then being purchased, in each Pool Receivable then existing and in the Related Security and Collections with respect thereto.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Bank shall not be obligated to make purchases under this Section 2.02 at any time in an amount which would exceed such Bank’s Bank Commitment less such Bank’s ratable share of the aggregate outstanding Capital held by CAFCO and XXXXXX (whether or not any portion thereof has been assigned under the Asset Purchase Agreement), after giving effect to any reductions of the Capital held by CAFCO and XXXXXX to be made on the date of such purchase (whether from the distribution of Collections or from the proceeds of purchases by the Banks). Each Bank’s obligation shall be several, such that the failure of any Bank to make available to the Seller any funds in connection with any purchase by that Bank shall not relieve any other Bank of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make funds available on the date of such purchase, but no Bank shall be obligated to make funds available in connection with any purchase of the Receivable Interest by the Bank failing to fund its purchase.

Section 2.03. Receivable Interest Computation. Each Receivable Interest shall be initially computed on its date of purchase. Thereafter until the Termination Date for such Receivable Interest, such Receivable Interest shall be automatically recomputed (or deemed to be recomputed) on each day other than a Liquidation Day. Any Receivable Interest, as computed (or deemed recomputed) as of the day immediately preceding the Termination Date for such Receivable Interest, shall thereafter remain constant; provided, however, that from and after the date on which the Termination Date shall have occurred for all Receivable Interests and until each Receivable Interest becomes zero in accordance with the next sentence, each Receivable Interest shall be calculated as the percentage equivalent of a fraction the numerator of which is the percentage representing such Receivable Interest immediately prior to such date and the denominator of which is the sum of the percentages representing all Receivable Interests which were

outstanding immediately prior to such date. Each Receivable Interest shall become zero when Capital thereof and Yield thereon shall have been paid in full, and all Fees and other amounts owed by the Seller hereunder to the Investors, the Banks or the Agent are paid and the Collection Agent shall have received the accrued Collection Agent Fee thereon.

Section 2.04. Settlement Procedures. (a) Collection of the Pool Receivables shall be administered by a Collection Agent, in accordance with the terms of Article VI of this Agreement. The Seller shall provide to the Collection Agent (if other than the Seller) on a timely basis all information needed for such administration, including notice of the occurrence of any Liquidation Day and current computations of each Receivable Interest.

(b) The Collection Agent shall, on each day on which Collections of Pool Receivables are received by it:

(i) pay to the Originator and/or EDS, as the case may be, any such Collections which are identified as amounts referred to in the second sentence of the definition of “Outstanding Balance”;

(ii) with respect to each Receivable Interest, set aside and hold in trust (and, at the request of the Agent, segregate) for the Investors or the Banks that hold such Receivable Interest, out of the percentage of such Collections represented by such Receivable Interest, an amount equal to the Yield, Fees and Collection Agent Fee accrued through such day for such Receivable Interest and not previously set aside;

(iii) with respect to each Receivable Interest, if such day is not a Liquidation Day for such Receivable Interest, reinvest with the Seller on behalf of the Investors or the Banks that hold such Receivable Interest the percentage of such Collections represented by such Receivable Interest, to the extent such Collections represent a return of Capital, by recomputation of such Receivable Interest pursuant to Section 2.03, and pay to the Seller the amount so reinvested;

(iv) if such day is a Liquidation Day for any one or more Receivable Interests, set aside and hold in trust (and, at the request of the Agent, segregate) for the Investors or the Banks that hold such Receivable Interests (A) if such day is a Liquidation Day for less than all of

the Receivable Interests, the percentage of such Collections represented by such Receivable Interests as to which such day is a Liquidation Day, and (B) if such day is a Liquidation Day for all of the Receivable Interests, all of the remaining Collections (but in the case of the circumstances in both clause (A) and clause (B) above, not in excess of the Capital of such Receivable Interests and any other amounts payable by the Seller hereunder); provided that if amounts are set aside and held in trust on any Liquidation Day occurring prior to the Termination Date as to such Receivable Interests, and thereafter prior to the Settlement Date for such Fixed Period the conditions set forth in Section 3.02 are satisfied or waived by the Agent, such previously set aside amounts shall, to the extent representing a return of Capital, be reinvested in accordance with the preceding subsection (ii) on the day of such subsequent satisfaction or waiver of conditions; and

(v) during such times as amounts are required to be reinvested in accordance with the foregoing subSection (iii) or the proviso to subSection (iv), release to the Seller for its own account any Collections in excess both of such amounts and of the amounts that are required to be set aside pursuant to subSection (ii) above.

(c) The Collection Agent shall deposit into the Agent’s Account, on the Settlement Date for each Receivable Interest, Collections held on that Settlement Date for the Investors or the Banks that relate to such Receivable Interest pursuant to Section 2.04(b).

(d) Upon receipt of funds deposited into the Agent’s Account, the Agent shall distribute them as follows:

(i) if such distribution occurs on a day that is not a Liquidation Day, first to the Investors or the Banks that hold the relevant Receivable Interests ratably in payment in full of all accrued Yield and the Agent in payment in full of the accrued Fees and then to the Collection Agent in payment in full of all accrued Collection Agent Fee.

(ii) if such distribution occurs on a Liquidation Day, first to the Investors or the Banks that hold the relevant Receivable Interests ratably in payment in full of all accrued Yield and the Agent in payment in full of the accrued Fees, second to such Investors or Banks in reduction to zero of all Capital, third to such Investors, Banks or the Agent in payment of any other amounts owed by

the Seller hereunder, and fourth to the Collection Agent in payment in full of all accrued Collection Agent Fee.

After the Capital, Yield, Fees and Collection Agent Fee with respect to a Receivable Interest, and any other amounts payable by the Seller to the Investors, the Banks or the Agent hereunder, have been paid in full and any contingent obligations of the Agent under any Lock-Box Agreement have been released, all additional Collections allocable to such Receivable Interest shall be paid by the Collection Agent and the Agent, to the extent each of them holds additional Collections, to the Seller for its own account.

(e) For the purposes of this Section 2.04:

(i) if on any day a Pool Receivable becomes (in whole or in part) a Diluted Receivable, the Seller shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection of such Pool Receivable in the amount of such Diluted Receivable;

(ii) if on any day any of the representations or warranties contained in Section 4.01(h) is no longer true with respect to any Pool Receivable, the Seller shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection of such Pool Receivable in full;

(iii) except as provided in subSection (i) or (ii) of this Section 2.04(e), or as otherwise required by applicable law or the relevant Contract, all Collections received from an Obligor of any Receivables shall be applied to the Receivables of such Obligor in the order of the age of such Receivables, starting with the oldest such Receivable, unless such Obligor designates its payment for application to specific Receivables; and

(iv) if and to the extent the Agent, the Investors or the Banks shall be required for any reason to pay over to an Obligor any amount received on its behalf hereunder, such amount shall be deemed not to have been so received but rather to have been retained by the Seller and, accordingly, the Agent, the Investors or the Banks, as the case may be, shall have a claim against the Seller for such amount, payable when and to the extent that any distribution from or on behalf of such Obligor is made in respect thereof.

(f) Within three Business Days after the end of each Fixed Period in respect of which Yield is computed by reference

to the Investor Rate, the Agent shall furnish the Seller with an invoice setting forth the amount of the accrued and unpaid Yield and Fees for such Fixed Period with respect to the Receivable Interests held by the Investors and the Banks.

Section 2.05. Fees. (a) Each Investor and Bank shall pay to the Collection Agent a fee (the “Collection Agent Fee”) of l/4 of 1% per annum on the average daily Capital of each Receivable Interest owned by such Investor or Bank, from the date of purchase of such Receivable Interest until the later of the Termination Date for such Receivable Interest or the date on which such Capital is reduced to zero, payable on the Settlement Date for such Receivable Interest. Upon three Business Days’ notice to the Agent, the Collection Agent (if not EIS, the Seller or its designee or an Affiliate of the Seller) may elect to be paid, as such fee, another percentage per annum on the average daily Capital of such Receivable Interest, but in no event in excess for all Receivable Interests relating to the Receivables Pool, of 110% of the reasonable costs and expenses of the Collection Agent in administering and collecting the Receivables in the Receivables Pool. The Collection Agent Fee shall be payable only from Collections pursuant to, and subject to the priority of payment set forth in, Section 2.04. So long as EIS is acting as the Collection Agent hereunder, amounts paid as the Collection Agent Fee pursuant to this Section 2.05(a) shall reduce, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, the obligation of the Seller to pay the “Collection Agent Fee” pursuant to Section 6.03 of the Originator Purchase Agreement, provided that such obligation of the Seller shall in no event be reduced below zero.

(b) The Seller shall pay to the Agent certain fees (collectively, the “Fees”) in the amounts and on the dates set forth in a separate fee agreement of even date between the Seller and the Agent, as the same may be amended or restated from time to time (the “Fee Agreement”).

Section 2.06. Payments and Computations, Etc. (a) All amounts to be paid or deposited by the Seller or the Collection Agent hereunder shall be paid or deposited no later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the day when due in same day funds to the Agent’s Account.

(b) All computations of Yield, Fees, and other amounts hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first but excluding the last day) elapsed. Whenever any payment or deposit to be made hereunder shall be due on a day other than a

Business Day, such payment or deposit shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of such payment or deposit.

Section 2.07. Dividing or Combining Receivable Interests. Either the Seller or the Agent may, upon notice to the other party received at least three Business Days prior to the last day of any Fixed Period in the case of the Seller giving notice, or up to the last day of such Fixed Period in the case of the Agent giving notice, either (i) divide any Receivable Interest into two or more Receivable Interests having aggregate Capital equal to the Capital of such divided Receivable Interest, or (ii) combine any two or more Receivable Interests originating on such last day or having Fixed Periods ending on such last day into a single Receivable Interest having Capital equal to the aggregate of the Capital of such Receivable Interests; provided, however, that no Receivable Interest owned by CAFCO or XXXXXX may be combined with a Receivable Interest owned by any Bank.

Section 2.08. Increased Costs. (a) If CNAI, any Investor, any Bank, any entity which purchases or enters into a commitment to purchase Receivable Interests or interests therein, or any of their respective Affiliates (each an “Affected Person”) determines that (i) compliance with any law or regulation or any guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law) affects the amount of the capital required or expected to be maintained by such Affected Person and such Affected Person determines that the amount of such capital is increased by or based upon the existence of any commitment to make purchases of or otherwise to maintain the investment in Pool Receivables or interests therein related to this Agreement or to the funding thereof and other commitments of the same type or (ii) U.S. generally accepted accounting principles require the consolidation of some or all of the assets and liabilities of CAFCO and/or XXXXXX, including the assets and liabilities which are the subject of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, with those of such Affected Person, then, upon demand by such Affected Person (with a copy to the Agent), the Seller shall pay to the Agent within 10 Business Days for the account of such Affected Person (as a third-party beneficiary), from time to time as specified by such Affected Person, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Affected Person in light of such circumstances, in the case of clause (i), to the extent that such Affected Person reasonably determines such increase in capital to be allocable to the existence of any of such

commitments, and in the case of clause (ii), to the extent of any increased cost or reduced return resulting from the consolidation of the assets and liabilities which are the subject of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, as reasonably determined by such Affected Person. If the Seller, at any time prior to the Facility Termination Date, shall become or becomes liable to make any payment as a result of the causes set forth in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence, the Agent, the Investors and the Banks agree to discuss and negotiate in good faith with the Seller a restructuring of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents in a manner that would, to the greatest extent possible, preserve the economic benefits of those transactions for the Seller, the Agent, the Investors and the Banks and the legal protections afforded to those parties without the Seller being required to pay any increased costs under this Section 2.08 to any Affected Person as a result of those causes; provided, that none of the Agent, the Investors and the Banks shall be obligated to effect any restructuring of those transactions in connection with any such occurrences nor shall the obligation of the Seller to make such payment be affected thereby.

(b) If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change (other than any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements referred to in Section 2.09) in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation or (ii) compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law), there shall be any increase in the cost to any Investor or Bank of agreeing to purchase or purchasing, or maintaining the ownership of Receivable Interests in respect of which Yield is computed by reference to the Eurodollar Rate, then, upon demand by such Investor or Bank (with a copy to the Agent), the Seller shall pay to the Agent within 10 Business Days, for the account of such Investor or Bank (as a third-party beneficiary), from time to time as specified by such Investor or Bank, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Investor or Bank for such increased costs.

(c) A certificate of such Affected Person, delivered to the Seller and the Agent, claiming compensation under this Section 2.08 and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder, as well as the manner in which such amount or amounts were calculated, shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Any excess payments made by the Seller under this Section 2.08 shall be reimbursed promptly by

the Affected Person receiving such payments to the Seller upon the Affected Person obtaining knowledge of any error in the amounts submitted to the Seller by such Affected Person pursuant to this Section 2.08.

Section 2.09. Additional Yield on Receivable Interests Bearing a Eurodollar Rate. The Seller shall pay to any Investor or Bank, so long as such Investor or Bank shall be required under regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency Liabilities, additional Yield on the unpaid Capital of each Receivable Interest of such Investor or Bank during each Fixed Period in respect of which Yield is computed by reference to the Eurodollar Rate, for such Fixed Period, at a rate per annum equal at all times during such Fixed Period to the remainder obtained by subtracting (i) the Eurodollar Rate for such Fixed Period from (ii) the rate obtained by dividing such Eurodollar Rate referred to in clause (i) above by that percentage equal to 100% minus the Eurodollar Rate Reserve Percentage of such Investor or Bank for such Fixed Period, payable on each date on which Yield is payable on such Receivable Interest. Such additional Yield shall be determined by such Investor or Bank and notice thereof given to the Seller through the Agent within 30 days after any Yield payment is made with respect to which such additional Yield is requested. A certificate of such Affected Person, delivered to the Seller and the Agent, claiming compensation under this Section 2.09 and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder, as well as the manner in which such amount or amounts were calculated, shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

Section 2.10. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments and deposits required to be made hereunder or under any other Transaction Document by the Collection Agent or the Seller shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding net income taxes that are imposed by the United States and franchise taxes and net income taxes that are imposed on an Affected Person by the state or foreign jurisdiction under the laws of which such Affected Person is organized or any political subdivision thereof and franchise taxes and net income taxes that are imposed on an Affected Person by the state or foreign jurisdiction of the office from which this facility is funded (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred

to as “Taxes”). If the Seller or the Collection Agent shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Affected Person, (i) the Seller shall make an additional payment to such Affected Person, in an amount sufficient so that, after making all required deductions of such Taxes (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.10), such Affected Person receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Seller, the Collection Agent, the Agent or its designee, as the case may be, shall make such deductions and (iii) the Seller, the Collection Agent, the Agent or its designee, as the case may be, shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law and shall file any related forms to the extent required.

(b) In addition, the Seller agrees to pay any present or future stamp or other documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes which arise from any payment made hereunder or under any other Transaction Document or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(c) The Seller will indemnify each Affected Person for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.10) paid by such Affected Person and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted; provided, however, that any Affected Person receiving indemnification from Seller under this Section 2.10(c) shall (i) at the request, direction and expense of Seller challenge and contest the imposition of such Taxes, if such Affected Person is the appropriate party in interest to initiate and pursue such a challenge, or (ii) cooperate fully with and assist Seller in any challenge of contest by Seller relating to such Taxes, if Seller is the appropriate party in interest to initiate and pursue such a challenge, which challenge shall be pursued at Seller’s expense, except that in either case, Seller has no right hereunder to participate in the internal tax affairs of any Affected Person. This indemnification shall be made within thirty days from the date the Affected Person makes written demand therefor (and a copy of such demand shall be delivered to the Agent). A certificate as to the amount of such indemnification submitted to the Seller and the Agent by such

Affected Person, setting forth, in reasonable detail, the basis for and the calculation thereof, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error.

(d) (i) Each Affected Person which is organized outside the United States (or, in the case of any Person which becomes an Affected Person after the date hereof, on the date on which it so becomes an Affected Person with respect to any payments under this Agreement) shall, on or prior to the date hereof, deliver to the Seller (or, in the case of any Person who becomes an Affected Person after the date hereof, on or prior to the date on which any payment to it that could be subject to Taxes is to be made, deliver to the Agent or its designee) such certificates, documents or other evidence, as required by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended or Treasury Regulations issued pursuant thereto, including Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI and any other certificate or statement of exemption required by Treasury Regulation Section 1.1441-1(a) or Section 1.1441-6(c) or any subsequent version thereof, properly completed and duly executed by such Affected Person as will permit such payments to be made without withholding.

(ii) Each Affected Person which is organized inside the United States (or, in the case of any Person which becomes an Affected Person after the date hereof, on the date on which it becomes an Affected Person with respect to any payments under this Agreement) shall, on or prior to the date hereof, deliver to the Seller (or, in the case of any Person that becomes an Affected Person after the date hereof, on or prior to the date on which it so becomes an Affected Person, deliver to the Agent or its designee) such properly completed and duly executed certificates, documents or other evidence, as required by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or Treasury Regulations thereto, including Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 and any other certificate or statement of exemption required by Treasury Regulations as will permit such payment to be made without withholding.

(iii) Each such Affected Person shall from time to time thereafter, upon written request from the Agent, its designee or the Seller, deliver to the Agent, its designee or the Seller, as the case may be, any new certificates, documents or other evidence as described in the preceding sentence as will permit payments under this Agreement to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate (but only so long as such Affected Person is legally able to do so).

(iv) After the date hereof, the Agent or its designee shall withhold and pay over to the applicable taxing authorities any tax withholdings that are required to be made under applicable law and file any related forms (including Form 1099) to the extent required.

(v) The Agent or its designee shall provide to the Seller, as and when requested by the Seller, copies of all certificates, documents or other evidence the Agent or its designee receives pursuant to this Section 2.10(d).

(e) The Seller shall not be required to pay any amounts to any Affected Person in respect of Taxes and Other Taxes pursuant to paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) above if the obligation to pay such amounts is attributable to the failure by such Affected Person to comply with the provisions of paragraph (d) above; provided, however, that should an Affected Person become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, the Seller shall take such steps as such Affected Person shall reasonably request to assist such Affected Person to recover such Taxes.

(f) Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes or Other Taxes, the Seller or the Agent or its designee, as the case may be, will furnish to the Affected Person the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

Section 2.11. Security Interest. As collateral security for the performance by the Seller of all the terms, covenants and agreements on the part of the Seller (whether as Seller or otherwise) to be performed under this Agreement or any document delivered in connection with this Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof, including the punctual payment when due of all obligations of the Seller hereunder or thereunder, whether for indemnification payments, fees, expenses or otherwise, the Seller hereby assigns to the Agent for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Investors and the Banks, and hereby grants to the Agent for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Investors and the Banks, a security interest in, all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in and to (i) the Originator Purchase Agreement, the EDS Contribution Agreement and the Undertaking (Originator), including, without limitation, (A) all rights of the Seller to receive moneys due or to become due under or pursuant to the Originator Purchase Agreement or the Undertaking (Originator), (B) all security interests and property subject thereto from time to time purporting to secure payment of monies due or to become due under or pursuant to the

Originator Purchase Agreement or the Undertaking (Originator), (C) all rights of the Seller to receive proceeds of any insurance, indemnity, warranty or guaranty with respect to the Originator Purchase Agreement or the Undertaking (Originator), (D) claims of the Seller for damages arising out of or for breach of or default under the Originator Purchase Agreement, the EDS Contribution Agreement or the Undertaking (Originator), and (E) the right of the Seller to compel performance and otherwise exercise all remedies thereunder, (ii) all Receivables, whether now owned and existing or hereafter acquired or arising, the Related Security with respect thereto and the Collections and all other assets, including, without limitation, accounts, chattel paper, instruments and general intangibles (as those terms are defined in the UCC), including undivided interests in any of the foregoing, owned by the Seller and not otherwise purchased under this Agreement, (iii) the Lock-Box Accounts (but not cash collections or other cash proceeds received with respect to Third Party Payments or other Receivables not constituting Pool Receivables) and (iv) to the extent not included in the foregoing, all proceeds of any and all of the foregoing.

Each of the Agent, the Investors and the Banks hereby disclaims any interest or right in, and hereby releases from any Adverse Claim it may have, any or all of the items, collections and funds received in, deposited in or credited to any Lock-Box Account that are not related to any of the Pool Receivables, which property shall be and remain the exclusive property of EDS, EIS or any Person to which EDS or EIS has assigned the right to receive such items, collections and funds, and none of the Agent, the Investors, the Banks and any Person claiming by, through or under any of the Agent, the Investors and the Banks shall have any equitable or beneficial ownership or other interest therein. Each of the Agent, the Investors and the Banks agrees that (x) if the Collection Agent is EIS or any Affiliate of EIS, the Collection Agent shall, within one Business Day after the collection of good funds as to any item or collection deposited in or credited to any Lock-Box Account that is not related to any Pool Receivable, and (y) if the Agent shall have given a Lock-Box Notice or similar notice of effectiveness (as defined in the pertinent Lock-Box Agreement) to any Lock-Box Bank, the Agent as to each Lock-Box Account as to which a Lock-Box Notice or similar notice has been given, shall within one Business Day after the later of (1) the collection of good funds as to any items or collections deposited in or credited to any Lock-Box Account that are not related to any Pool Receivable and (2) the identification to the

Agent’s satisfaction that such items or collections are not related to any Pool Receivable (EDS and EIS agreeing to provide the Agent with sufficient information to make such identification), deliver and transfer such funds deposited in or credited to the Lock-Box Accounts that are not related to any Pool Receivable to EIS or to such other Person having an interest in such funds as EIS may direct. The Agent agrees to instruct any Collection Agent that is not EIS or another Affiliate of EDS to make such deliveries and payments in accordance with clause (y) of the preceding sentence. EDS and EIS agree that they shall have no legal or equitable rights or interests in any item received or deposited in any Lock-Box Account in respect of payment of any Pool Receivable or any Collections deposited in or credited to any Lock-Box Account and that, if they receive any such items or are paid any such Collections, upon becoming aware of such improper delivery or payment, they will promptly (and in any event within two Business Days) remit such items or Collections to the Collection Agent or, if no Collection then exists, the Agent.

Section 2.12. Sharing of Payments. If any Investor or any Bank (for purposes of this Section only, referred to as a “Recipient”) shall obtain payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff, or otherwise) on account of the Capital of, or Yield on, any Receivable Interest or portion thereof owned by it in excess of its ratable share of payments made on account of the Capital of, or Yield on, all of the Receivable Interests owned by the Investors and the Banks (other than as a result of a payment of Liquidation Fee or different methods for calculating Yield), such Recipient shall forthwith purchase from the Investors or the Banks which received less than their ratable share participations in the Receivable Interests owned by such Persons as shall be necessary to cause such Recipient to share the excess payment ratably with each such other Person; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such Recipient, such purchase from each such other Person shall be rescinded and each such other Person shall repay to the Recipient the purchase price paid by such Recipient for such participation to the extent of such recovery, together with an amount equal to such other Person’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (a) the amount of such other Person’s required payment to (b) the total amount so recovered from the Recipient) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the Recipient in respect of the total amount so recovered.

Section 2.13. Repurchase Options. (a) The Seller shall have the right to repurchase all, but not less than all, of the Receivable Interests held by the Investors and the Banks and to terminate this Agreement upon not less than ten Business Days’ prior written notice to the Agent. Such notice shall specify the date that the Seller desires that such repurchase occur (such date, the “Repurchase Date”). On the Repurchase Date, the Seller shall transfer to the Agent’s Account in immediately available funds an amount equal to (i) the aggregate outstanding Capital of the Receivable Interests held by the Investors and the Banks, (ii) all accrued and unpaid Yield thereon to the Repurchase Date, (iii) all accrued and unpaid Fees owing to the Investors and the Banks, (iv) the Liquidation Fee (if any) owing to the Investors and the Banks in respect of such repurchase and (v) all expenses and other amounts owing to any of the Agent, the Investors and the Banks under the Transaction Documents. Any repurchase pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall be made without recourse to or warranty by the Agent, the Investors or the Banks. Further, on the Repurchase Date, the Bank Commitments for all the Banks shall terminate, each of the Commitment Termination Date and Facility Termination Date shall occur, the Termination Date for all Receivable Interests shall occur and no further purchases or reinvestments of Collections shall be made hereunder; provided, that the provisions of this Agreement referenced in Section 10.10 shall survive such termination.

(b) The Seller shall have the right to repurchase in part the Receivable Interests held by the Investors and the Banks upon not less than five Business Days’ prior written notice to the Agent. Such notice shall specify the date that the Seller desires that such repurchase occur (such date, the “Partial Repurchase Date”) and the amount of Capital to be repaid (which shall be not less than $5,000,000). On the Partial Repurchase Date, the Seller shall transfer to the Agent’s Account in immediately available funds an amount equal to the Capital specified in such notice, and the Agent shall distribute such funds ratably to the Investors or the Banks that hold the outstanding Receivable Interests, to be applied to the reduction of Capital. No more than two partial repurchases pursuant to this Section 2.13(b) shall be made in any calendar month.

ADMINISTRATION AND COLLECTION

OF POOL RECEIVABLES

Section 6.01. Designation of Collection Agent. The servicing, administration and collection of the Pool Receivables shall be conducted by the Collection Agent so designated hereunder from time to time. Until the Agent gives notice to the Seller of the designation of a new Collection Agent, EIS is hereby designated as, and hereby agrees to perform the duties and obligations of, the Collection Agent pursuant to the terms hereof. At any time after the occurrence of an Event of Termination or an Incipient Bankruptcy Event of Termination, the Agent may designate as Collection Agent any Person (including itself) to succeed EIS or any successor Collection Agent, if such Person shall consent and agree to the terms hereof. The Collection Agent may, with the prior consent of the Agent, subcontract with any other Person for the servicing, administration or collection of the Pool Receivables. Any such subcontract shall not affect the Collection Agent’s liability for performance of its duties and obligations pursuant to the terms hereof, and any such subcontract shall automatically terminate upon designation of a successor Collection Agent.

Section 6.02. Duties of Collection Agent. (a) The Collection Agent 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. The Seller and the Agent hereby appoint the Collection Agent, from time to time designated pursuant to Section 6.01, as agent for themselves and for the Investors and the Banks to enforce their respective rights and interests in the Pool Receivables, the Related Security and the Collections with respect thereto. In performing its duties as Collection Agent, the Collection Agent shall exercise the same care and apply the same policies as it would exercise and apply if it owned such Receivables and shall

act in the best interests of the Seller, the Investors and the Banks.

(b) The Collection Agent shall administer the Collections in accordance with the procedures described in Section 2.04.

(c) If no Event of Termination or Incipient Event of Termination shall have occurred and be continuing, EIS while it is the Collection Agent, may, in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy, extend the maturity or adjust the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable as EIS deems appropriate to maximize Collections thereof, or otherwise amend or modify other terms of any Receivable, provided that the classification of any such Receivable as a Delinquent Receivable or Defaulted Receivable shall not be affected by any such extension.

(d) The Collection Agent shall hold in trust for the Seller and each Investor and Bank, in accordance with their respective interests, all documents, instruments and records (including, without limitation, computer tapes or disks) which evidence or relate to Pool Receivables; provided, however, that such documents, instruments and records to be held in trust (i) shall not include Contracts or any part or abstract thereof or any confidential information of the Seller, EDS, the Originator or their Affiliates, but (ii) shall include sufficient information to enable the Agent or a replacement Collection Agent to administer, collect and enforce the Pool Receivables. The Collection Agent shall xxxx the Seller’s master data processing records evidencing the Pool Receivables with a legend, reasonably acceptable to the Agent, evidencing that Receivable Interests therein have been sold.

(e) The Collection Agent shall, as soon as practicable following receipt (and, in the case of Third Party Payments, within one Business Day following receipt), turn over to the Person entitled thereto any cash collections or other cash proceeds received with respect to Third Party Payments and any other Receivables not constituting Pool Receivables.

(f) The Collection Agent shall, from time to time at the request of the Agent, furnish to the Agent (promptly after any such request) a calculation of the amounts set aside for the Investors and the Banks pursuant to Section 2.04.

(g) On or prior to the tenth Business Day of each month, the Collection Agent shall prepare and forward to the

Agent a Seller Report relating to the Receivable Interests outstanding on the last day of the immediately preceding month.

The Collection Agent shall transmit Seller Reports to the Agent concurrently by facsimile and by electronic mail (each, an “E-Mail Seller Report”). Each E-Mail Seller Report shall be (A) formatted as the Agent may reasonably designate from time to time and (B) sent to the Agent at an electronic mail address designated by the Agent.

Section 6.03. Certain Rights of the Agent. (a) The Agent is authorized at any time to date, and to deliver to the Lock-Box Banks, the Notices of Effectiveness attached to the Lock-Box Agreements. The Seller hereby transfers to the Agent the exclusive ownership and control of the Lock-Box Accounts to which the Obligors of Pool Receivables shall make payments.

(b) At any time following (x) the designation of a Collection Agent other than EIS pursuant to Section 6.01 or (y) an Event of Termination or an Incipient Bankruptcy Event of Termination which is continuing:

(i) The Agent may notify the Obligors of Pool Receivables, at the Seller’s expense, of the ownership of Receivable Interests under this Agreement.

(ii) The Agent may direct the Obligors of Pool Receivables that all payments thereunder be made directly to the Agent or its designee.

(iii) At the Agent’s request and at the Seller’s expense, the Seller shall notify each Obligor of Pool Receivables of the ownership of Receivable Interests under this Agreement and direct that payments be made directly to the Agent or its designee.

(iv) At the Agent’s request and at the Seller’s expense, the Seller and the Collection Agent shall (A) assemble all of the documents, instruments and other records (including, without limitation, computer tapes and disks) that evidence or relate to the Pool Receivables and Related Security, or that are otherwise necessary or desirable to collect the Pool Receivables, and shall make the same available to the Agent at a place selected by the Agent or its designee; provided, however, that such documents, instruments and other records (i) shall not include Contracts or any part or abstract thereof or any confidential information of the Seller, the Originator or

any of their Affiliates, but (ii) shall include sufficient information to enable the Agent or a replacement Collection Agent to administer, collect and enforce the Pool Receivables, and (B) segregate all cash, checks and other instruments received by it from time to time constituting Collections of Pool Receivables in a manner acceptable to the Agent and, promptly upon receipt, remit all such cash, checks and instruments, duly indorsed or with duly executed instruments of transfer, to the Agent or its designee.

(v) The Seller authorizes the Agent to take any and all steps in the Seller’s name and on behalf of the Seller that are necessary or desirable, in the determination of the Agent, to collect amounts due under the Pool Receivables, including, without limitation, endorsing the Seller’s name on checks and other instruments representing Collections of Pool Receivables and enforcing the Pool Receivables and the Related Security.

Section 6.04. Rights and Remedies. (a) If the Collection Agent fails to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement, the Agent may (but shall not be required to) itself perform, or cause performance of, such obligation; and the Agent’s reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the Collection Agent.

(b) The Seller, the Originator and EDS shall perform their respective obligations under the Contracts related to the Pool Receivables to the same extent as if Receivable Interests had not been sold, and the exercise by the Agent on behalf of the Investors and the Banks of their rights under this Agreement shall not release the Collection Agent or the Seller from any of their duties or obligations with respect to any Pool Receivables or related Contracts. Neither the Agent, the Investors nor the Banks shall have any obligation or liability with respect to any Pool Receivables or related Contracts, nor shall any of them be obligated to perform the obligations of the Seller thereunder.

(c) In the event of any conflict between the provisions of Article VI of this Agreement and Article VI of the Originator Purchase Agreement, the provisions of Article VI of this Agreement shall control.

Section 6.05. Further Actions Evidencing Purchases. Each of the Originator and EDS agrees from time to time, at its expense, to promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and to take all further actions, that may be necessary, or that the Agent may reasonably request, to perfect

or protect the Receivable Interests purchased hereunder, or to enable the Investors, the Banks or the Agent to exercise and enforce their respective rights and remedies hereunder; provided, however, that none of the Investors, the Banks and the Agent shall have any rights or remedies regarding the Contracts themselves, except with respect to the right to payment by the Obligors thereunder of the amounts owing to the Originator and/or EDS thereunder with respect to the merchandise sold or services provided to the Obligors thereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, each of the Originator and EDS will (i) upon the request of the Agent, execute and file such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto, and such other instruments and documents, that may be reasonably necessary, or that the Agent may reasonably request, to perfect or protect such Receivable Interests; and (ii) xxxx its master data processing records evidencing the Pool Receivables with a legend, reasonably acceptable to the Agent, evidencing that Receivable Interests therein have been sold. Each of the Originator and EDS authorizes the Seller, the Agent or EIS to file financing statements with respect to the Originator Purchase Agreement and the EDS Contribution Agreement as permitted by the UCC.

Section 6.06. Covenants of the Collection Agent and the Originator. (a) Audits. The Collection Agent will, from time to time during regular business hours as requested by the Agent, permit the Agent, or its agents or representatives (including independent public accountants, which may be the Collection Agent’s independent public accountants), (i) no more than once each fiscal year of the Seller (unless an Event of Termination has occurred and is continuing or a deficiency was discovered during the previous audit, in which case such limitation shall not apply), to conduct periodic audits of the Receivables, the Related Security and the books and records and collections systems of the Collection Agent to the extent that they relate to the Pool Receivables, (ii) to examine and make copies of and abstracts from all books, records and documents (including, without limitation, computer tapes and disks) in the possession or under the control of the Collection Agent relating to Pool Receivables and the Related Security, but not of the Contracts or any part or abstract thereof except as provided in Section 10.06(c), and (iii) to visit the offices and properties of the Collection Agent for the purpose of examining such materials described in clause (ii) above, and to discuss matters relating to Pool Receivables and the Related Security or the Collection Agent’s performance hereunder with any of the

officers or employees of the Collection Agent having knowledge of such matters.

(b) Change in Credit and Collection Policy. The Originator and EDS will not make any change in the Credit and Collection Policy that would impair the collectibility of any Pool Receivable or the ability of EIS (if it is acting as Collection Agent) to perform its obligations under this Agreement. In the event that the Collection Agent, the Originator or EDS makes any change to the Credit and Collection Policy, it shall, contemporaneously with such change, provide the Agent with an updated Credit and Collection Policy and a summary of all material changes.

(c) Redirection of Payments. The Collection Agent will, no later than March 31, 2003, either (i) instruct all Persons who are remitting payments to the Lock-Box Accounts which are not Collections of Receivables to instead remit such payments to a bank account which is not Lock-Box Account and enter into new Lock-Box Agreements, substantially in the form attached hereto as Annex B-2, with respect to all existing Lock-Box Accounts, or (ii) instruct all Obligors of Pool Receivables to remit their payments to one or more new bank accounts which have been added as Lock-Box Accounts in accordance with Section 5.01(g) and are subject to Lock-Box Agreements substantially in the form attached hereto as Annex B-2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to Receivables arising pursuant to Contracts under which amounts payable are currently paid by electronic funds transfer directly to the Concentration Account (including such Receivables due from General Motors Corporation and Delphi Automotive Systems Corporation), the Collection Agent will, no later than January 15, 2003, (x) set up a new bank account at JPMorgan Chase Bank in the Seller’s name and (y) instruct each such Obligor to remit its payments with respect to such Receivables to such bank account, and no later than February 28, 2003, enter into a Lock-Box Agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Annex B-2 with respect to such bank account.

(d) EDS Contribution Agreement. The Originator will not amend, waive or modify any provision of the EDS Contribution Agreement without the Agent’s consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld (it being agreed that the Agent may reasonably withhold its consent to any amendment, waiver or modification that would adversely affect the collectibility of any Pool Receivable). The Originator will not agree to the removal or inclusion of any agreement as a “Contract” pursuant to the final proviso contained in the definition of “Contract”

in the EDS Contribution Agreement, without the prior written consent of the Agent in each instance. The Originator will perform all of its obligations under the EDS Contribution Agreement in all material respects and will enforce the EDS Contribution Agreement in accordance with its terms in all material respects.

Section 6.07. Indemnities by the Collection Agent. Without limiting any other rights that the Agent, any Investor, any Bank, any of their respective Affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or advisors (each, a “Special Indemnified Party”) may have hereunder or under applicable law, and in consideration of its appointment as Collection Agent, the Collection Agent hereby agrees to indemnify each Special Indemnified Party from and against any and all claims, losses and liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, but excluding consequential damages incurred by a Special Indemnified Party (it being agreed that consequential damages payable by a Special Indemnified Party to a third party are not excluded)) (all of the foregoing being collectively referred to as “Special Indemnified Amounts”) arising out of or resulting from any of the following (excluding, however, (a) Special Indemnified Amounts to the extent found in a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Special Indemnified Party, (b) recourse for Receivables which are not collected, not paid or uncollectible on account of the insolvency, bankruptcy or financial inability to pay of the applicable Obligor or (c) any income taxes or any other tax or fee measured by income incurred by such Special Indemnified Party arising out of or as a result of this Agreement or the ownership of Receivable Interests or in respect of any Receivable or any Contract):

(i) any representation made or deemed made by the Collection Agent pursuant to Section 4.02(g) hereof which shall have been incorrect in any respect when made or any other representation or warranty or statement made or deemed made by the Collection Agent under or in connection with this Agreement which shall have been incorrect in any material respect when made;

(ii) the failure by the Collection Agent to comply with any applicable law, rule or regulation with respect to any Pool Receivable or Contract; or the failure of any Pool Receivable or Contract to conform to any such applicable law, rule or regulation;

(iii) the failure to have filed, or any delay in filing, financing statements or other similar instruments or documents under the UCC of any applicable jurisdiction with respect to any Receivables in, or purporting to be in, the Receivables Pool and the Related Security and Collections in respect thereof, whether at the time of any purchase or reinvestment or at any subsequent time;

(iv) any failure of the Collection Agent to perform its duties or obligations in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement;

(v) the commingling of Collections of Pool Receivables at any time by the Collection Agent with other funds;

(vi) any action or omission by the Collection Agent (other than an action required by the Transaction Documents) reducing or impairing the rights of the Investors or the Banks with respect to any Pool Receivable or the value of any Pool Receivable;

(vii) any Collection Agent Fees or other costs and expenses payable to any replacement Collection Agent, to the extent in excess of the Collection Agent Fees payable to the Collection Agent hereunder; or

Section 6.08. Procedures When Litigation or Similar Proceedings Involved. (a) In case any suit, proceeding or action is brought or any claim is asserted against any Special Indemnified Party (and a claim for indemnification in respect thereof may be made by such Special Indemnified Party against the Collection Agent under Section 6.07 hereof), such Special Indemnified Party shall promptly give notice of such suit, proceeding, action or claim of which it has notice to the Collection Agent; provided, however, that failure of such Special Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Collection Agent from any of its obligations under the indemnity herein, except to the extent such failure prejudices the defense of such suit, proceeding or action, or the contest of such claim, by the Collection Agent.

(b) Following receipt by the Collection Agent of any such notice from a Special Indemnified Party as provided in subSection (a) above, and provided that (i) the Collection Agent shall have acknowledged in writing that, to the extent of the matters of any suit, proceeding, action or other claim for which the Collection Agent wishes to assume the defense as set forth below, Section 6.07 will cover any judgment, settlement, loss, costs or expenses in any suit, proceeding, action or other claim referred to in such notice (provided such acknowledgment shall not be deemed to expand the Collection Agent’s obligations under Section 6.07 hereof), (ii) no Event of Termination or Incipient Event of Termination has occurred and is continuing and (iii) such suit, proceeding, action or other claim does not involve any claim by the Collection Agent against any Special Indemnified Party or any claim by a Special Indemnified Party against the Collection Agent, then the Collection Agent shall be entitled to assume control of and conduct the defense of any or all of the matters involved in such suit, proceeding, action or other claim on behalf of such Special Indemnified Party at the Collection Agent’s own cost and expense with independent counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, and if the Collection Agent shall so assume the defense of any or all of the matters involved in such suit, proceeding, action or other claim, the Collection Agent shall consult with the Agent and such Special Indemnified Party and shall conduct such defense with due diligence and at its own cost and expense. To the extent of the matters for which the Collection Agent has so assumed the defense, any participation in such defense by the Agent or such Special Indemnified Party or any claim by a Special Indemnified Party shall be at their sole cost and expense and not subject to indemnification hereunder. Except as otherwise provided in the preceding sentence, nothing in this subparagraph (b) is intended in any way to diminish the obligation of the Collection Agent to pay promptly on demand the legal fees and expenses of any Special Indemnified Party.

(c) The Collection Agent shall not be liable for any settlement of or confessions of judgment in any action or proceeding without its consent; provided that if an Event of Termination or Incipient Bankruptcy Event of Termination shall have occurred and be continuing the Special Indemnified Party shall notify the Collection Agent of any proposed settlement but shall not be required to obtain the Collection Agent’s consent.

(d) The Collection Agent, at its own cost and expense, agrees to assist, at the request of and to the extent reasonably required by the Agent or any Special Indemnified

Party, in any suit, proceeding or other action brought by or against such Special Indemnified Party relating to any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the Receivables, Related Security or any related Contracts and as to which the Collection Agent has any indemnification obligations; provided, that in rendering any such assistance, the Collection Agent shall not be obligated to take any action or provide any information to any party if to do so would be reasonably likely to result in a loss of the attorney-client privilege.

Without limiting any other rights that the Agent, the Investors, the Banks, any of their respective Affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or advisors (each, an “Indemnified Party”) may have hereunder or under applicable law, the Seller hereby agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Party from and against any and all claims, losses and liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, but excluding consequential damages incurred by an Indemnified Party (it being agreed that consequential damages payable by an Indemnified Party to a third party are not excluded)) (all of the foregoing being collectively referred to as “Indemnified Amounts”) arising out of or resulting from this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or the use of proceeds of purchases or reinvestments or the ownership of Receivable Interests or in respect of any Receivable or any Contract, excluding, however, (a) Indemnified Amounts to the extent found in a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Indemnified Party, (b) recourse (except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement) for Receivables which are not collected, not paid or uncollectible on account of the insolvency, bankruptcy or financial inability to pay of the applicable Obligor or (c) any income taxes or any other tax or fee measured by income incurred by such Indemnified Party arising out of or as a result of this Agreement or the ownership of Receivable Interests or in respect of any Receivable or any Contract. Without limiting or being limited by the foregoing, the Seller shall pay on demand to each Indemnified Party any and all amounts necessary to indemnify such Indemnified Party from and against any and all Indemnified Amounts arising out of or resulting from any of the following:

(i) the characterization in any Seller Report or other written statement made by or on behalf of the Seller of any Receivable as an Eligible Receivable or as included in the Net Receivables Pool Balance which, as of the date of such Seller Report or other statement, is not an Eligible Receivable or should not be included in the Net Receivables Pool Balance;

(ii) any representation or warranty or statement made or deemed made by the Seller (or any of its officers) under or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other

Transaction Documents which shall have been incorrect in any material respect when made;

(iii) the failure by the Seller, the Originator or EDS to comply with any applicable law, rule or regulation with respect to any Pool Receivable or the related Contract; or the failure of any Pool Receivable or the related Contract to conform to any such applicable law, rule or regulation;

(iv) the failure to vest in the Investors or the Banks, as the case may be, (A) a perfected undivided percentage ownership interest, to the extent of each Receivable Interest, in the Receivables in, or purporting to be in, the Receivables Pool and the Related Security and Collections in respect thereof, or (B) a perfected security interest as provided in Section 2.11, in each case free and clear of any Adverse Claim;

(v) the failure to have filed, or any delay in filing, financing statements or other similar instruments or documents under the UCC of any applicable jurisdiction with respect to any Receivables in, or purporting to be in, the Receivables Pool and the Related Security and Collections in respect thereof, whether at the time of any purchase or reinvestment or at any subsequent time;

(vi) any dispute, claim, offset or defense (including termination for convenience or default by a governmental Obligor, but not including discharge in bankruptcy of an Obligor) of or by 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 Receivable 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 or relating to collection activities with respect to such Receivable (if such collection activities were performed by the Seller or any of its Affiliates acting as Collection Agent);

(vii) any failure of funds or revenues to be set aside or otherwise appropriated for payment of any U.S. Government Receivable arising out of an Approved Government Contract;

(viii) any failure to obtain any acknowledgment, authorization or approval under, or provide any notice required by, the Assignment of Claims Act with respect to any Approved Government Contract;

(ix) the sale of any Receivable in violation of applicable laws;

(x) any failure of the Seller to perform its duties or obligations in accordance with the provisions hereof;

(xi) any products liability or other claim arising out of or in connection with merchandise or services which are the subject of any Contract;

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

(xiii) any investigation, litigation or proceeding related to this Agreement or the use of proceeds of purchases or reinvestments or the ownership of Receivable Interests or in respect of any Receivable or Related Security or Contract;

(xiv) any failure of the Seller to comply with its covenants contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; or

(xv) any claim brought by any Person other than an Indemnified Party arising from any activity by the Seller or any Affiliate of the Seller in servicing, administering or collecting any Receivable.

Section 9.02. Procedures When Litigation or Similar Proceedings Involved. (a) In case any suit, proceeding or action is brought or any claim is asserted against any Indemnified Party (and a claim for indemnification in respect thereof may be made by such Indemnified Party against the Seller under Section 9.01 hereof), such Indemnified Party shall promptly give notice of such suit, proceeding, action or claim of which it has notice to the Seller; provided, however, that failure of such Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Seller from any of its obligations under the indemnity herein, except to the extent such failure prejudices the defense of such suit, proceeding or action, or the contest of such claim, by the Seller.

(b) Following receipt by the Seller of any such notice from an Indemnified Party as provided in subsection (a) above, and provided that (i) the Seller shall have acknowledged in writing that, to the extent of the matters of any suit, proceeding, action or other claim for which the Seller wishes to assume the defense as set forth below, Section 9.01 will cover any judgment, settlement, loss, costs or expenses in any suit, proceeding, action or other claim referred to in such notice (provided such acknowledgment shall not be deemed to expand the Seller’s obligations under Section 9.01 hereof), (ii) no Event of Termination or Incipient Event of Termination has occurred and is continuing and (iii) such suit, proceeding, action or other claim does not involve any claim by the Seller against any Indemnified Party or any claim by an Indemnified Party against the Seller, then the Seller shall be entitled to assume control of and conduct the defense of any or all of the matters involved in such suit, proceeding, action or other claim on behalf of such Indemnified Party at the Seller’s own cost and expense with independent counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, and if the Seller shall so assume the defense of any or all of the matters involved in such suit, proceeding, action or other claim, the Seller shall consult with the Agent and such Indemnified Party and shall conduct such defense with due diligence and at its own cost and expense. To the extent of the matters for which the Seller has so assumed the defense, any participation in such defense by the Agent or such Indemnified Party shall be at their sole cost and expense and not subject to indemnification hereunder. Except as otherwise provided in the preceding sentence, nothing in this subparagraph (b) is intended in any way to diminish the obligation of the Seller to pay promptly on demand the legal fees and expenses of any Indemnified Party.

(c) The Seller shall not be liable for any settlement of or confession of judgment in any action or proceeding without its consent provided that if an Event of Termination or Incipient Bankruptcy Event of Termination shall have occurred and be continuing, the Indemnified Party shall notify the Seller of any proposed settlement but shall not be required to obtain the Seller’s consent.

(d) The Seller, at its own cost and expense, agrees to assist, at the request of and to the extent reasonably required by the Agent or any Indemnified Party, in any suit, proceeding or other action brought by or against such Indemnified Party relating to any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the Receivables,

Related Security or any related Contracts and as to which the Seller has any indemnification obligation; provided, that in rendering any such assistance, the Seller shall not be obligated to take any action or provide any information to any party if to do so would be reasonably likely to result in a loss of the attorney-client privilege.

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 10.01. Amendments, Etc. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by the Seller, the Originator, EDS or the Collection Agent therefrom shall be effective unless in a writing signed by the Agent, as agent for the Investors and the Banks (and, in the case of any amendment, also signed by the Seller, the Originator and EDS; provided, however, that the signatures of the Seller, the Originator and EDS shall not be required for the effectiveness of any amendment which modifies the representations, warranties, covenants or responsibilities of the Collection Agent at any time when the Collection Agent is not the Originator or an Affiliate of the Originator or a successor Collection Agent is designated by the Agent pursuant to Section 6.01), and then such amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Collection Agent in addition to the Agent, affect the rights or duties of the Collection Agent under this Agreement. No failure on the part of the Investors, the Banks or the Agent 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.

Section 10.02. Notices, Etc. All notices and other communications hereunder shall, unless otherwise stated herein, be in writing (which shall include facsimile communication) and faxed or delivered, to each party hereto, at its address set forth under its name on the signature pages hereof or at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other parties hereto. Notices and communications by facsimile shall be effective when sent (and shall be followed by hard copy sent by regular mail), and notices and communications sent by other means shall be effective when received.

Section 10.03. Assignability. (a) This Agreement and the Investors’ rights and obligations herein (including ownership of each Receivable Interest) shall be assignable by the Investors and their successors and assigns (including, without limitation, pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement) with the Seller’s consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided that Seller’s consent shall not be required (i) if the assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, which Eligible Assignee either is eligible to deliver the forms required under Section 2.10(d)(i) or is a “United States person” within the meaning of §7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (ii) if there shall occur an Event of Termination or (iii) if the assignment shall be to another receivables investment company managed and/or sponsored by Citibank or any of its Affiliates that is a “United States person” within the meaning of §7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Each assignor of a Receivable Interest or any interest therein shall notify the Agent and the Seller of any such assignment. Each assignor of a Receivable Interest or any interest therein may, in connection with any such assignment, disclose to the assignee or potential assignee any information relating to the Seller, the Originator or EDS, including the Receivables, furnished to such assignor by or on behalf of the Seller or by the Agent; provided that, prior to any such disclosure, the assignee or potential assignee agrees to preserve the confidentiality of any such information which is confidential in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.06 hereof.

(b) Each Bank may assign to any Eligible Assignee, which Eligible Assignee either is eligible to deliver the forms required under Section 2.10(d)(i) or is a “United States person” within the meaning of §7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or to any other Bank all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Bank Commitment and any Receivable Interests or interests therein owned by it); provided, however, that such assignment shall be limited so that no more than 10 Banks shall be parties to this Agreement, whether initially or by assignment, at any time. The parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent an Assignment and Acceptance. In addition, Citibank or any of its Affiliates may assign any of its rights (including, without limitation, rights to payment of Capital and Yield) under this Agreement to any Federal Reserve Bank without notice to or consent of the Seller or the Agent.

(c) This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the Agent herein shall be assignable by the Agent and its successors and assigns.

(d) The Seller may not assign its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Agent.

(e) Each of CAFCO and XXXXXX may, without the consent of the Seller, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of its rights and obligations hereunder (including the outstanding Receivable Interests); provided that following the sale of a participation under this Agreement (i) the obligations of the applicable Investor shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Investor shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Seller, the Agent, and the Banks shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Investor in connection with such Investor’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which CAFCO or XXXXXX xxxxx such a participation shall provide that the Participant shall not have any right to direct the enforcement of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that the applicable Investor will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (i) reduces the amount of Capital or Yield that is payable on account of any Receivable Interest or delays any scheduled date for payment thereof or (ii) reduces any fees payable by the Seller to the Agent (to the extent relating to payments to the Participant) or delays any scheduled date for payment of such fees. The Seller acknowledges and agrees that CAFCO’s and XXXXXX’x source of funds may derive in part from its Participants. Accordingly, references in Sections 2.08, 2.09, 2.10, 6.07, 9.01 and 10.04 and the other terms and provisions of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to determinations, reserve and capital adequacy requirements, expenses, increased costs, reduced receipts and the like as they pertain to CAFCO or XXXXXX shall be deemed also to include those of its Participants; provided that the Seller shall not be required to pay higher costs, taxes, expenses and indemnification amounts pursuant to this sentence than would be required to be paid by the Seller in the absence of the sale of any participation by CAFCO or XXXXXX to a Participant as contemplated by this Section 10.03(e). CAFCO, XXXXXX or the

Agent may, in connection with any such participation, disclose to Participants and potential Participants any information relating to the Seller, the Originator or EDS, including the Receivables, furnished to CAFCO, XXXXXX or the Agent by or on behalf of the Seller; provided that, prior to any such disclosure, such Participant or potential Participant agrees to preserve the confidentiality of any such information which is confidential in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.06 hereof. Any interest sold by CAFCO or XXXXXX to a Bank or its designee under the Asset Purchase Agreement shall not be considered a participation for the purpose of this Section 10.03(e) (and the Bank or its designee shall not be considered a Participant as a result thereof).

(f) The Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 10.02 of this Agreement a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance Agreement delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Investors, the Banks, the Participants, and their respective assignees, the Investor Purchase Limit of each Investor, the percentage of the related Investor’s Receivable Interests held by each Participant, and the Bank Commitment of each Bank, and aggregate outstanding Capital of Receivable Interests or interests therein owned by, each Bank and each Investor from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Seller, the Originator, the Agent, the Investors, the Participants and the Banks may treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Bank under this Agreement for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Seller, any Investor, any Participant or any Bank at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. As between the Seller, on the one hand, and the Investors, the Banks and the Participants, and their respective assignees, on the other hand, no Receivable Interest transfer will be recognized unless reflected in the Register.

Section 10.04. Costs, Expenses and Taxes. (a) In addition to the rights of indemnification granted under Section 9.01 hereof, the Seller agrees to pay on demand all reasonable costs and expenses in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery and administration (including reasonable costs of periodic auditing and the other activities contemplated in Section 5.02) of this Agreement, any Asset Purchase Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and out-of-

pocket expenses of one counsel to represent all of the Agent, CNAI, CAFCO, XXXXXX, Citibank and their respective Affiliates with respect thereto and with respect to advising the Agent, CNAI, CAFCO, XXXXXX, Citibank and their respective Affiliates as to their rights and remedies under this Agreement, and all reasonable costs and expenses, if any (including reasonable fees and expenses of one counsel), of the Agent, CNAI, the Investors, the Banks and their respective Affiliates, in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

(b) In addition, the Seller shall pay (i) to the extent not included in the calculation of Yield, any and all commissions of placement agents and dealers in respect of Promissory Notes issued to fund the purchase or maintenance of any Receivable Interest, and (ii) any and all costs and expenses of any issuing and paying agent or other Person responsible for the administration of the Promissory Notes programs of CAFCO or XXXXXX in connection with the preparation, completion, issuance, delivery or payment of Promissory Notes issued to fund the purchase or maintenance of any Receivable Interest.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the Seller shall not be required to make any payment pursuant to any provision of this Agreement providing for a payment of an indemnity to indemnify any Affected Person for any tax payable by, assessed to or imposed on that Affected Person unless the Seller is expressly obligated to pay such tax under another provision of this Agreement other than Section 10.04.

Section 10.05. No Proceedings; Waiver of Consequential Damages. (a) Each of the Seller, the Agent, the Collection Agent, the Originator, EDS, each Investor, each Bank, each assignee of a Receivable Interest or any interest therein and each entity which enters into a commitment to purchase Receivable Interests or interests therein hereby agrees that it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, CAFCO or XXXXXX any proceeding of the type referred to in Section 7.01(g) so long as any commercial paper or other senior indebtedness issued by CAFCO or XXXXXX shall be outstanding or there shall not have elapsed one year plus one day since the last day on which any such commercial paper or other senior indebtedness shall have been outstanding.

(b) The Seller, the Originator, EDS and the Collection Agent each agrees that no Indemnified Party shall have any liability to them or any of their securityholders or

creditors in connection with this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby on any theory of liability for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (including, without limitation, any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings).

Section 10.06. Confidentiality. (a) The Seller, the Originator, EDS and the Collection Agent each agrees to maintain the confidentiality of this Agreement in communications with third parties and otherwise; provided that this Agreement may be disclosed (i) to third parties to the extent such disclosure is made pursuant to a written agreement of confidentiality in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, (ii) to the legal counsel, auditors and other professional advisers of the Seller, the Originator, EDS and the Collection Agent if they agree to hold it confidential, (iii) to rating agencies rating any securities of the Originator or EDS, (iv) as a part of any filing made with the SEC, including the text of this Agreement as an exhibit to that filing, and (v) to the extent required by applicable law or regulation or by any court, regulatory body or agency having jurisdiction over such party; and provided, further, that such party shall have no obligation of confidentiality in respect of any information which may be generally available to the public or becomes available to the public through no fault of such party.

(b) Each Investor, each Bank and the Agent agrees to maintain the confidentiality of all information with respect to the Seller, EIS, EDS, EPC or the Receivables Pool (including the Seller Reports) provided to it pursuant to this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement dated October 30, 2002 between EDS and Citibank.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, none of the Agent, the Investors, the Banks and the Participants shall have any right to read, review, obtain a counterpart or copy of, or copy or abstract of any of the provisions of, any Contract; provided, however, that in connection with any effort by the Agent or any Collection Agent (which is not EDS or an Affiliate of EDS) to collect any Defaulted Receivable, the Seller shall obtain from the Originator or EDS, as the case may be, with respect to that Defaulted Receivable and provide to the Agent or such Collection Agent such information concerning the rights and remedies of the Originator or EDS, as the case may be, in connection with the collection of that Defaulted Receivable (which in the case of any Contract that does not

contain or impose any limitations on the disclosure, publication, distribution, circulation, copying, abstracting or other dissemination of the Contract and its terms, will include copies of the payment terms or abstracts of the payment terms of that Contract) as shall be necessary for the Agent or such Collection Agent to pursue the collection of that Defaulted Receivable, including to prosecute any legal action to collect that Defaulted Receivable.

Section 10.07. Tax Treatment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the parties to this Agreement have structured this Agreement to constitute a financing with the intention that the Receivable Interests will constitute indebtedness for tax purposes; and each Affected Person agrees to recognize and report the Receivable Interests as indebtedness for tax purposes, and to report all receipts and payments relating thereto in a manner that is consistent with such characterization.

Section 10.08. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL, IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF THAT WOULD CALL FOR THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT, PURSUANT TO THE UCC OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, THE PERFECTION AND THE EFFECT OF PERFECTION OR NON-PERFECTION OF THE INTERESTS OF THE INVESTORS AND THE BANKS IN THE RECEIVABLES AND THE ORIGINATOR PURCHASE AGREEMENT ARE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF A JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

Section 10.09. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

Section 10.10. Survival of Termination. The provisions of Sections 2.04(b)(i), 2.08, 2.09, 6.07, 9.01, 10.04, 10.05 and 10.06 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

Section 10.11. Consent to Jurisdiction. (a) Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or Federal court sitting in New York City in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, and each party hereto hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such action or

proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. The parties hereto hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent they may effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding. The parties hereto agree that a final non-appealable judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

(b) Each of the Seller, the Collection Agent, EDS and the Originator consents to the service of any and all process in any such action or proceeding by the mailing of copies of such process to it at its address specified in Section 10.02. Nothing in this Section 10.11 shall affect the right of the Investors, any Bank or the Agent to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law.

Section 10.12. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER (WHETHER SOUNDING IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENT EXECUTED OR DELIVERED PURSUANT HERETO.

Section 10.13. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement and any amendments hereto shall be binding upon and, to the extent expressly permitted by the provisions hereof, shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.
