This PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, this “Agreement”), dated as of November 4, 2011 is entered into between THE VARIOUS ENTITIES LISTED ON SCHEDULE I HERETO (each an “Originator”, and collectively, the “Originators”), and VWR RECEIVABLES FUNDING, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”).

BACKGROUND:

1. The Company is a special purpose limited liability company, all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of which are owned by VWR;

2. The Originators generate Receivables in the ordinary course of their business;

3. The Originators wish to sell Receivables to the Company, and the Company is willing to purchase Receivables from the Originators, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein; and

4. The Originators and the Company intend this transaction to be a true sale of Receivables by the Originators to the Company, providing the Company with the full benefits of ownership of the Receivables, and the Originators and the Company do not intend the transactions hereunder to be a loan from the Company to the Originators.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements, provisions and covenants contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

DEFINITIONS

Unless otherwise indicated herein, capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Agreement are defined in Exhibit I to the Receivables Purchase Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Receivables Purchase Agreement”), among the Company, as Seller, VWR International, LLC (individually, “VWR”), as Servicer (in such capacity, the “Servicer”), the various Conduit Purchasers from time to time party thereto, the various Related Committed Purchasers from time to time party thereto, the various Purchaser Agents from time to time party thereto, the various LC Participants from time to time party thereto, and PNC Bank, National Association, as Administrator and LC Bank. The usage of terms and provisions set forth in Item 2 of such Exhibit I shall apply hereto as though set forth herein in their entirety. All references herein to months are to calendar months unless otherwise expressly indicated.

ARTICLE I
AGREEMENT TO PURCHASE AND SELL

SECTION 1.1 Agreement To Purchase and Sell. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, each Originator agrees to sell to the Company, and the Company agrees to purchase from such Originator, from time to time on or after the Closing Date, but before the Purchase and Sale Termination Date (as defined in Section 1.4), all of such Originator’s right, title and interest in and to:

(a) each Receivable of such Originator that existed and was owing to such Originator at the closing of such Originator’s business on August 31, 2011 (the “Cut-off Date”);

(b) each Receivable generated by such Originator after the Cut-off Date to, but excluding, the Purchase and Sale Termination Date;

(c) all rights to, but not the obligations of, such Originator under all Related Security with respect to any of the foregoing Receivables;

(d) all monies due or to become due to such Originator with respect to any of the foregoing;

(e) all books and records of such Originator to the extent related to the Receivables, together with all rights (but not obligations) of such Originator under the Contracts relating to the Receivables to which such Originator is a party;

(f) all Collections and other proceeds (as defined in the UCC) of any of the foregoing that are or were received by such Originator on or after the Cut-off Date, including, without limitation, all funds which either are received by such Originator, the Company or the Servicer from or on behalf of the Obligors in payment of any amounts owed (including, without limitation, invoice price, finance charges, interest and all other charges) in respect of any of the above Receivables or are applied to such amounts owed by the Obligors (including, without limitation, any insurance payments that such Originator, the Company or the Servicer applies in the ordinary course of its business to amounts owed in respect of any of the above Receivables, and net proceeds of sale or other disposition of repossessed goods or other collateral or property of the Obligors in respect of any of the above Receivables or any other parties directly or indirectly liable for payment of such Receivables); and

(g) all right, title and interest (but not obligations) in and to the Lock-Box Accounts, into which any Collections or other proceeds (as defined in the UCC) with respect to such Receivables may be deposited, and any related investment property acquired with any such Collections or other proceeds.

All purchases and contributions hereunder shall be made without recourse, but shall be made pursuant to, and in reliance upon, the representations, warranties and covenants of such Originator set forth in this Agreement and each other Transaction Document. No obligation or liability to any Obligor on any Receivable is intended to be assumed by the Company hereunder, and any such assumption is expressly disclaimed. The Company’s foregoing commitment to purchase Receivables and the proceeds and rights described in clauses (c) through (g) (collectively, the “Related Rights”) is herein called the “Purchase Facility.”

SECTION 1.2 Timing of Purchases.

(a) Closing Date Purchases. Each Originator’s entire right, title and interest in (i) each Receivable that existed and was owing to such Originator at the Cut-off Date, (ii) all Receivables created by such Originator after the Cut-off Date, to and including, the Closing Date, and (iii) all Related Rights with respect thereto automatically shall be deemed to have been sold or contributed, as applicable, by such Originator to the Company on the Closing Date.

(b) Subsequent Purchases. After the Closing Date, until the Purchase and Sale Termination Date, each Receivable and the Related Rights generated by each Originator shall be deemed to have been sold or contributed, as applicable, by such Originator to the Company immediately (and without further action) upon the creation of such Receivable.

SECTION 1.3 Consideration for Purchases. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Company agrees to make Purchase Price payments to the Originators in accordance with Article III and to reflect all capital contributions in accordance with Section 3.1 and Section 3.2.

SECTION 1.4 Purchase and Sale Termination Date. The “Purchase and Sale Termination Date” shall be the earlier to occur of (a) the date the Purchase Facility is terminated pursuant to Section 8.2 and (b) the Payment Date immediately following the day on which the Originators shall have given written notice to the Company and the Administrator at or prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) that the Originators desire to terminate this Agreement.

SECTION 1.5 Intention of the Parties. It is the express intent of each Originator and the Company that each conveyance by such Originator to the Company pursuant to this Agreement of any Receivables and Related Rights, including, without limitation, all Receivables, if any, constituting “general intangibles” (as defined in the UCC), and all Related Rights be construed as a valid and perfected sale and absolute assignment (without recourse except as provided herein) of such Receivables and Related Rights by such Originator to the Company (rather than the grant of a security interest to secure a debt or other obligation of such Originator) and that the right, title and interest in and to such Receivables and Related Rights conveyed to the Company be prior to the rights of and enforceable against all other Persons at any time, including, without limitation, lien creditors, secured lenders, purchasers and any Person claiming through such Originator. The parties acknowledge that certain terms used under Article 9 of the UCC as enacted in the State of New York and any other applicable jurisdiction (without distinguishing the applicable jurisdiction, “Article 9”) for secured loan transactions also apply to outright sales of receivables, including “debtor,” “secured party,” and “security interest,” which applies to the buyer’s outright ownership interest. Thus, such terms, and other terms used in Article 9, will apply to this Agreement, and may be used in this Agreement or in connection with this Agreement and such use does not affect the nature of the outright sale of the Receivables by the Originators to the Company. Thus, under the Article 9 drafting convention, the outright sale of the Receivables may be described as a transaction by which the Originators have granted to the Company a security interest in, among other things, the Receivables. However, if, contrary to the mutual intent of the parties, any conveyance of Receivables and Related Rights, including,

- 3 -

without limitation, any Receivables constituting “accounts” or “general intangibles” (as defined in the UCC) hereunder shall be characterized as a secured loan and not a sale or such sale shall for any reason be ineffective or unenforceable, then, it is the intent of such Originator and the Company that (i) this Agreement also shall be deemed to be, and hereby is, a security agreement within the meaning of the UCC; and (ii) such Originator shall be deemed to have granted to the Company as of the date of this Agreement, and such Originator hereby grants to the Company, a security interest in, to and under, all of such Originator’s right, title and interest in and to the Receivables and the Related Rights transferred or purported to be transferred hereunder, whether now existing or hereafter created by such Originator.

ARTICLE II
PURCHASE REPORT; CALCULATION OF PURCHASE PRICE

SECTION 2.1 Purchase Report. On the Closing Date and (i) on the 20th day (or, in each case, if such day is not a Business Day, the following Business Day) of each Fiscal Month thereafter or (ii) if a Reporting Trigger has occurred and is continuing, on the third Business Day of each week (each such date, a “Purchase Report Date”), the Company shall cause the Servicer to deliver to the Company and each Originator a report in substantially the form of Exhibit A (each such report being herein called a “Purchase Report”) setting forth, among other things:

(a) the Purchase Price of all Receivables purchased by the Company from each Originator as of the Cut-Off Date (in the case of the Purchase Report to be delivered on the Closing Date);

(b) the Purchase Price of all Receivables purchased by the Company from each Originator during the Fiscal Month or week, as applicable, immediately preceding such Purchase Report Date (in the case of each subsequent Purchase Report); and

(c) the reductions of the Purchase Price payment for any Receivables as provided in Section 3.3(b).

- 4 -

SECTION 2.2 Calculation of Purchase Price. The “Purchase Price” to be paid to each Originator for the Receivables that are purchased hereunder from such Originator shall be (i) determined in accordance with the following formula and (ii) subject to the reductions as provided in Sections 3.3(a) and (b):

		PP		=		OB x FMVD
		where:
		PP		=		Purchase Price for each Receivable as calculated on the relevant Payment Date (or, for the Closing Date, on the Cut-off Date).
		OB		=		The Outstanding Balance of such Receivable on the relevant Payment Date (or, for the Closing Date, on the Cut-Off Date).
		FMVD		=		Fair Market Value Discount, as measured on such Payment Date, which is equal to the quotient (expressed as percentage) of (a) one divided by (b) the sum of (i) one, plus (ii) the product of (A) the Prime Rate (calculated as of the last Business Day of the Fiscal Month or week, as applicable, preceding such Payment Date or, for the Closing Date, preceding the Cut-Off Date), and (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Days’ Sales Outstanding (calculated as of the last Business Day of the Fiscal Month or week, as applicable, preceding such Payment Date or, for the Closing Date, preceding the Cut-Off Date) and the denominator of which is 365.

ARTICLE III
PAYMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE

SECTION 3.1 Initial Purchase Price Payment.

(a) [Reserved].

(b) On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Company agrees to pay to each Originator the Purchase Price for the purchase to be made from such Originator on the Closing Date partially in cash (in an amount to be agreed between the Company and such Originator and set forth in the initial Purchase Report) and partially by issuing a promissory note in the form of Exhibit B to such Originator in an amount to be agreed between the Company and such Originator and set forth in the initial Purchase Report (each such promissory note, as it may be amended, supplemented, endorsed or otherwise modified from time to time, together with all promissory notes issued from time to time in substitution therefor or renewal thereof in accordance with the Transaction Documents, each being herein called a “Company Note”), by accepting a contribution to its capital (with respect to Receivables purchased by the Company from VWR) or by causing the LC Bank to issue one or more Letters of Credit on terms and subject to the conditions of this Article III and the Receivables Purchase Agreement, as more fully described below.

- 5 -

SECTION 3.2 Subsequent Purchase Price Payments. On each Payment Date subsequent to the Closing Date, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Company shall pay to each Originator the Purchase Price for the Receivables generated by such Originator on such Payment Date:

(a) FIRST, in cash to the extent the Company has cash available therefor and such payment is not prohibited under the Receivables Purchase Agreement;

(b) SECOND, if such Originator has requested a Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 3.5, by the Company’s obtaining and delivering such Letter of Credit to the extent of the face amount of such Letter of Credit;

(c) THIRD, (i) to the extent any portion of the Purchase Price remains unpaid, the principal amount outstanding under the applicable Company Note shall, subject to subclause (ii) below, be automatically increased by an amount equal to such remaining Purchase Price in an amount not to exceed the lesser of (A) the remaining unpaid portion of such Purchase Price and (B) the maximum aggregate amount of borrowings that could be borrowed under the Company Notes without rendering Company’s Tangible Net Worth less than the Required Capital Amount; and (ii) to the extent any portion of the Purchase Price remains unpaid after the allocations in clauses (a) and (b) above, solely in the case of VWR as Originator, at such Originator’s election (in its sole discretion) by accepting a contribution to its capital in an amount equal to the remaining unpaid balance of such Purchase Price.

The Servicer shall make all appropriate record keeping entries with respect to the Company Notes to reflect the foregoing payments and reductions made pursuant to Section 3.3, and the Servicer’s books and records shall constitute rebuttable presumptive evidence of the principal amount of, and accrued interest on, the Company Notes at any time. Each Originator hereby irrevocably authorizes the Servicer to xxxx the Company Notes “CANCELLED” and to return the Company Notes to the Company upon the final payment thereof after the occurrence of the Purchase and Sale Termination Date.

SECTION 3.3 Settlement as to Specific Receivables and Dilution.

(a) If, (i) on the day of purchase of any Receivable from an Originator hereunder, any of the representations or warranties set forth in Sections 5.9, 5.19 and 5.21 are not true with respect to such Receivable or (ii) as a result of any action or inaction (other than solely as a result of the failure to collect such Receivable due to a discharge in bankruptcy or similar insolvency proceeding or other credit related reasons with respect to the relevant Obligor) of an Originator, on any subsequent day, any of such representations or warranties set forth in Sections 5.9, 5.19 and 5.21 is no longer true with respect to such Receivable, then the Purchase Price with respect to such Receivable shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Outstanding Balance of such Receivable and shall be accounted to such Originator as provided in clause (c) below; provided, that if the Company thereafter receives payment on account of Collections due with respect to such Receivable, the Company promptly shall deliver such funds to such Originator.

- 6 -

(b) If, on any day, the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable purchased or contributed hereunder is reduced or adjusted as a result of any defective, rejected, returned, repossessed or foreclosed goods or services, or any revision, cancellation, allowance, rebate, discount or other adjustment made by any Originator or the Servicer or any setoff or dispute between such Originator or the Servicer and an Obligor as indicated on the books of the Company (or, for periods prior to the Closing Date, the books of such Originator), or as a result of any tariff or other governmental or regulatory action, then the Purchase Price with respect to such Receivable shall be reduced by the amount of such net reduction and shall be accounted to such Originator as provided in clause (c) below.

(c) Any reduction in the Purchase Price of any Receivable pursuant to clause (a) or (b) above shall be applied as a credit for the account of the Company against the Purchase Price of Receivables subsequently purchased by the Company from such Originator hereunder; provided, however if there have been no purchases of Receivables from such Originator (or insufficiently large purchases of Receivables) to create a Purchase Price sufficient to so apply such credit against, the amount of such credit:

(i) to the extent of any outstanding principal amount under the Company Note payable to such Originator, shall be deemed to be a payment under, and shall be deducted from the principal amount outstanding under, the Company Note payable to such Originator; and

(ii) after making any deduction pursuant to clause (i) above, shall be paid in cash to the Company by such Originator; provided, that at any time (y) when a Termination Event or an Unmatured Termination Event exists under the Receivables Purchase Agreement or (z) on or after the Purchase and Sale Termination Date, the amount of any such credit shall be paid by such Originator to the Company by deposit in immediately available funds into a Lock-Box Account for application by the Servicer to the same extent as if Collections of the applicable Receivable in such amount had actually been received on such date.

SECTION 3.4 Reconveyance of Receivables. In the event that an Originator has paid to the Company the full Outstanding Balance of any Receivable pursuant to Section 3.3, the Company shall reconvey such Receivable to such Originator, without representation or warranty, but free and clear of all liens, security interests, charges, and encumbrances created by the Company.

SECTION 3.5 Letters of Credit. (a) Upon the request of any Originator and in accordance with Section 3.1, and subject to the terms and conditions for issuing Letters of Credit under the Receivables Purchase Agreement (including any limitations therein on the amount of any such issuance), the Company agrees to cause the LC Bank to issue, on the Payment Dates specified by such Originator, Letters of Credit on behalf of the Company (and, if applicable, on behalf of, or for the account of, any Originator in favor of such beneficiaries as such Originator may elect). The aggregate face amount of the Letters of Credit being issued on any Payment Date shall constitute a credit against the aggregate Purchase Price otherwise payable by the Company on such Payment Date pursuant to Section 3.2. To the extent that the aggregate face amount of the Letters of Credit being issued on any Payment Date exceeds

- 7 -

the aggregate Purchase Price payable by the Company on such Payment Date, such excess shall be deemed to be a reduction in the outstanding principal amount of (and, to the extent necessary, the accrued but unpaid interest on) the applicable Company Note. The aggregate face amount of Letters of Credit to be issued on any Payment Date cannot exceed the sum of the aggregate Purchase Price payable on such Payment Date plus the aggregate outstanding principal amount of and accrued but unpaid interest on the Company Notes on such Payment Date. In the event that any Letter of Credit issued (i) expires or is cancelled or otherwise terminated with all or any portion of its face amount undrawn, (ii) has its face amount decreased (for a reason other than a drawing having been made thereunder) or (iii) the Company’s Reimbursement Obligation in respect thereof is reduced for any reason other than by virtue of a payment made in respect of a drawing thereunder, then an amount equal to such undrawn amount or such reduction, as the case may be, shall either be paid in cash to such Originator on the next Payment Date or, if the Company does not then have cash available therefor, shall be deemed to be added to the outstanding principal amount of the Company Note issued to such Originator. Under no circumstances shall any Originator (and no Affiliate thereof (other than the Company)) have any reimbursement or recourse obligations in respect of any Letter of Credit.

(b) In the event that an Originator requests a Letter of Credit hereunder, such Originator shall on a timely basis provide the Company with such information as is necessary for the Company to obtain such Letter of Credit from the LC Bank.

(c) Each Originator agrees to be bound by the terms of each Letter of Credit Application referenced in the Receivables Purchase Agreement and by the LC Bank’s interpretations of any Letter of Credit issued for the Company and by the LC Bank’s written regulations and customary practices relating to letters of credit.

(d) Each Originator appoints the Servicer as its agent (on which appointment the Company, the Purchaser Agents, the Administrator, the LC Bank, the LC Participants and the Purchasers may rely until such Originator provides contrary written notice to all of such Persons) to act on such Originator’s behalf to take all actions and to make all decisions in respect of the issuance, amendment and administration of the Letters of Credit, including requests for the issuance and extension of Letters of Credit and the allocation of the face amounts of Letters of Credit against the Purchase Price owed to particular Originators and against Company Notes issued to particular Originators. In the event that the Servicer requests a Letter of Credit hereunder, the Servicer shall on a timely basis provide the Company with such information as is necessary for the Company to obtain such Letter of Credit from the LC Bank, and shall notify the relevant Originators, the Company and the Administrator of the allocations described in the preceding sentence. Such allocations shall be binding on the Company and each Originator, absent manifest error.

9. Subordination Provisions. The Company covenants and agrees, and the Originator and any other holder of this Company Note (collectively, the Originator and any such other holder are called the “Holder”), by its acceptance of this Company Note, likewise covenants and agrees on behalf of itself and any Holder, that the payment of the principal amount of and interest on this Company Note is hereby expressly subordinated in right of payment to the payment and performance of the Senior Interests to the extent and in the manner set forth in the following clauses of this paragraph 9:

(a) No payment or other distribution of the Company’s assets of any kind or character, whether in cash, securities, or other rights or property, shall be made on account of this Company Note except to the extent such payment or other distribution is (i) permitted under Section 1(m) of Exhibit IV to the Receivables Purchase Agreement or (ii) made pursuant to clause (a) or (b) of paragraph 6 of this Company Note;

(b) In the event of any dissolution, winding up, liquidation, readjustment, reorganization or other similar event relating to the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, partial or complete, and whether in bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership proceedings, or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or any other marshalling of the assets and liabilities of the Company or any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company other than as permitted by the Purchase and Sale Agreement (such proceedings being herein collectively called “Bankruptcy Proceedings”), the Senior Interests shall first be paid and performed in full and in cash before the Originator shall be entitled to receive and to retain any payment or distribution in respect of this Company Note. In order to implement the foregoing: (i) all payments and distributions of any kind or character in respect of this Company Note to which the Holder would be entitled except for this clause (b) shall be made directly to the

Exhibit B-3

Administrator (for the benefit of the Senior Interest Holders); (ii) the Holder shall promptly file a claim or claims, in the form required in any Bankruptcy Proceedings, for the full outstanding amount of this Company Note, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause said claim or claims to be approved and all payments and other distributions in respect thereof to be made directly to the Administrator (for the benefit of the Senior Interest Holders) until the Senior Interests shall have been paid and performed in full and in cash; and (iii) the Holder hereby irrevocably agrees that the Administrator (acting on behalf of the Purchasers), in the name of the Holder or otherwise, demand, xxx for, collect, receive and receipt for any and all such payments or distributions, and file, prove and vote or consent in any such Bankruptcy Proceedings with respect to any and all claims of the Holder relating to this Company Note, in each case until the Senior Interests shall have been paid and performed in full and in cash;

(c) In the event that the Holder receives any payment or other distribution of any kind or character from the Company or from any other source whatsoever, in respect of this Company Note, other than as expressly permitted by the terms of this Company Note, such payment or other distribution shall be received in trust for the Senior Interest Holders and shall be turned over by the Holder to the Administrator (for the benefit of the Senior Interest Holders) forthwith. The Holder will xxxx its books and records so as clearly to indicate that this Company Note is subordinated in accordance with the terms hereof. All payments and distributions received by the Administrator in respect of this Company Note, to the extent received in or converted into cash, may be applied by the Administrator (for the benefit of the Senior Interest Holders) first to the payment of any and all expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses) paid or incurred by the Senior Interest Holders in enforcing these Subordination Provisions, or in endeavoring to collect or realize upon this Company Note, and any balance thereof shall, solely as between the Originator and the Senior Interest Holders, be applied by the Administrator (in the order of application set forth in Section 1.4(d) of the Receivables Purchase Agreement) toward the payment of the Senior Interests; but as between the Company and its creditors, no such payments or distributions of any kind or character shall be deemed to be payments or distributions in respect of the Senior Interests;

(d) Notwithstanding any payments or distributions received by the Senior Interest Holders in respect of this Company Note, while any Bankruptcy Proceedings are pending the Holder shall not be subrogated to the then existing rights of the Senior Interest Holders in respect of the Senior Interests until the Senior Interests have been paid and performed in full and in cash. If no Bankruptcy Proceedings are pending, the Holder shall only be entitled to exercise any subrogation rights that it may acquire (by reason of a payment or distribution to the Senior Interest Holders in respect of this Company Note) to the extent that any payment arising out of the exercise of such rights would be permitted under Section 1(m) of Exhibit IV to the Receivables Purchase Agreement;

Exhibit B-4

(e) These Subordination Provisions are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Holder, on the one hand, and the Senior Interest Holders on the other hand. Nothing contained in these Subordination Provisions or elsewhere in this Company Note is intended to or shall impair, as between the Company, its creditors (other than the Senior Interest Holders) and the Holder, the Company’s obligation, which is unconditional and absolute, to pay the Holder the principal of and interest on this Company Note as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof or to affect the relative rights of the Holder and creditors of the Company (other than the Senior Interest Holders);

(f) The Holder shall not, until the Senior Interests have been paid and performed in full and in cash, (i) cancel, waive, forgive, or commence legal proceedings to enforce or collect, or subordinate to any obligation of the Company, howsoever created, arising or evidenced, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, or now or hereafter existing, or due or to become due, other than the Senior Interests, this Company Note or any rights in respect hereof or (ii) convert this Company Note into an equity interest in the Company, unless the Holder shall, in either case, have received the prior written consent of the Administrator;

(g) The Holder shall not, without the prior written consent of the Administrator and Purchaser, commence, or join with any other Person in commencing, any Bankruptcy Proceedings with respect to the Company until at least one year and one day shall have passed since the Senior Interests shall have been paid and performed in full and in cash;

(h) If, at any time, any payment (in whole or in part) of any Senior Interest is rescinded or must be restored or returned by a Senior Interest Holder (whether in connection with Bankruptcy Proceedings or otherwise), these Subordination Provisions shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, as though such payment had not been made;

(i) Each of the Senior Interest Holders may, from time to time, at its sole discretion, without notice to the Holder, and without waiving any of its rights under these Subordination Provisions, take any or all of the following actions: (i) retain or obtain an interest in any property to secure any of the Senior Interests; (ii) retain or obtain the primary or secondary obligations of any other obligor or obligors with respect to any of the Senior Interests; (iii) extend or renew for one or more periods (whether or not longer than the original period), alter or exchange any of the Senior Interests, or release or compromise any obligation of any nature with respect to any of the Senior Interests; (iv) amend, supplement, restate, or otherwise modify any Transaction Document; and (v) release its security interest in, or surrender, release or permit any substitution or exchange for all or any part of any rights or property securing any of the Senior Interests, or extend or renew for one or more periods (whether or not longer than the original period), or release, compromise, alter or exchange any obligations of any nature of any obligor with respect to any such rights or property;

(j) The Holder hereby waives: (i) notice of acceptance of these Subordination Provisions by any of the Senior Interest Holders; (ii) notice of the existence, creation, non-payment or non-performance of all or any of the Senior Interests; and (iii) all diligence in enforcement, collection or protection of, or realization upon, the Senior Interests, or any thereof, or any security therefor;

Exhibit B-5

(k) Each of the Senior Interest Holders may, from time to time, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Transaction Documents to which such Persons are party, but without notice to the Holder, assign or transfer any or all of the Senior Interests, or any interest therein; and, notwithstanding any such assignment or transfer or any subsequent assignment or transfer thereof, such Senior Interests shall be and remain Senior Interests for the purposes of these Subordination Provisions, and every immediate and successive assignee or transferee of any of the Senior Interests or of any interest of such assignee or transferee in the Senior Interests shall be entitled to the benefits of these Subordination Provisions to the same extent as if such assignee or transferee were the assignor or transferor; and

(l) These Subordination Provisions constitute a continuing offer from the Holder to all Persons who become the holders of, or who continue to hold, Senior Interests; and these Subordination Provisions are made for the benefit of the Senior Interest Holders, and the Administrator may proceed to enforce such provisions on behalf of each of such Persons.

10. General. No failure or delay on the part of the Originator in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power or right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right. No amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent with respect to, any provision of this Company Note shall in any event be effective unless (i) the same shall be in writing and signed and delivered by the Company and the Holder and (ii) all consents required for such actions under the Transaction Documents shall have been received by the appropriate Persons.

11. Maximum Interest. Notwithstanding anything in this Company Note to the contrary, the Company shall never be required to pay unearned interest on any amount outstanding hereunder and shall never be required to pay interest on the principal amount outstanding hereunder at a rate in excess of the maximum nonusurious interest rate that may be contracted for, charged or received under applicable federal or state law (such maximum rate being herein called the “Highest Lawful Rate”). If the effective rate of interest which would otherwise by payable under this Company Note would exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, or if the holder of this Company Note shall receive any unearned interest or shall receive monies that are deemed to constitute interest which would increase the effective rate of interest payable by the Company under this Company Note to a rate in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then (i) the amount of interest which would otherwise be payable by the Company under this Company Note shall be reduced to the amount allowed by applicable law, and (ii) any unearned interest paid by the Company or any interest paid by the Company in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate shall be refunded to the Company. Without limitation of the foregoing, all calculations of the rate of interest contracted for, charged or received by the Originator under this Company Note that are made for the purpose of determining whether such rate exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to the Originator (such Highest Lawful Rate being herein called the “Originator’s Maximum Permissible Rate”) shall be made, to the extent permitted by usury laws applicable to the Originator (now or hereafter enacted), by amortizing, prorating and spreading in equal parts during the actual period during which any amount has been

Exhibit B-6

outstanding hereunder all interest at any time contracted for, charged or received by the Originator in connection herewith. If at any time and from time to time (i) the amount of interest payable to the Originator on any date shall be computed at the Originator’s Maximum Permissible Rate pursuant to the provisions of the foregoing sentence and (ii) in respect of any subsequent interest computation period the amount of interest otherwise payable to the Originator would be less than the amount of interest payable to the Originator computed at the Originator’s Maximum Permissible Rate, then the amount of interest payable to the Originator in respect of such subsequent interest computation period shall continue to be computed at the Originator’s Maximum Permissible Rate until the total amount of interest payable to the Originator shall equal the total amount of interest which would have been payable to the Originator if the total amount of interest had been computed without giving effect to the provisions of the foregoing sentence.

12. This Company Note shall be subject to the borrowing limitations set forth in Section 3.2 of the Purchase and Sale Agreement.

13. Governing Law. THIS COMPANY NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF OTHER THAN SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK).

14. Captions. Paragraph captions used in this Company Note are for convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of any provision of this Company Note.

15. Third Party Beneficiary. The Company agrees that the Administrator, for the benefit of the Senior Interest Holders, is a third party beneficiary of this Company Note.
