RECEIVABLES TRANSFER AGREEMENT
Dated as of September 19, 2000
CAPITAL, INC., a Delaware corporation (together with its successors and assigns,
the "Originator" and in its capacity as collection agent, together with its
----------
successors and assigns in such capacity, the "Collection Agent"), PARK AVENUE
----------------
RECEIVABLES CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (together with its successors
and assigns, "PARCO"or the "Conduit Transferee"), the APA TRANSFEREES from time
----- ------------------
to time party hereto (the "APA Transferees") and THE CHASE MANHATTAN BANK
---------------
(together with its successors and assigns, "Chase"), a New York state banking
corporation, as administrative agent for the benefit of PARCO and the APA
Transferees (in such capacity, together with its successors and assigns in such
capacity, the "Administrative Agent"), agree as follows:
--------------------
this Agreement. References in Exhibits to "the Agreement" refer to this
Agreement, as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time.
Security, and the Conduit Transferee may desire to, and the APA Transferees (if
requested) shall, accept such transfer of such undivided percentage interests,
subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Accordingly, the parties
agree as follows:
ARTICLE I AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF TRANSFER SECTION 1.01. Facility. Upon the terms
--------
and subject to the conditions set forth herein, prior to the Facility
Termination Date, (a) the Transferor may, at its option from time to time,
transfer to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Active Transferees, and
(b) the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, on behalf of PARCO
(prior to an occurrence of a PARCO Termination Event), and the Administrative
Agent shall on behalf of the APA Transferees (following an occurrence of a PARCO
Termination Event or in the event PARCO elects not to accept such transfer)
accept such transfer and assignment from the Transferor of, without recourse
except as provided herein, undivided percentage ownership interests in a pool of
Receivables, together with Related Security and Collections with respect
thereto, from time to time (each, a "Transfer"). Under no circumstances shall
--------
the Administrative Agent accept any Transfer if, after giving effect to such
Transfer, the Aggregate Capital would exceed the Transfer Limit.
(b) The Transferor may, upon at least 30 days' notice to the Administrative
Agent, terminate this facility in whole or, from time to time, reduce in part
the unused portion of the Transfer Limit; provided that each partial reduction
--------
shall be in the amount of at least $10 million or an integral multiple thereof
and that, unless terminated in whole, the Transfer Limit shall in no event be
reduced below $100 million. Any such reduction in the Transfer Limit shall 1
4860144 simultaneously reduce the respective Commitments of the APA Transferees
Pro Rata in an aggregate amount equal to 102% of the amount of such reduction in
the Transfer Limit.
1
SECTION 1.02. Consideration and Terms. (a) On any date prior to the Facility
-----------------------
Termination Date, the Transferor may request a Transfer, which Transfer shall be
in a minimum amount of $10,000,000 and increments of $100,000 in excess thereof,
by delivering to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York
time), three Business Days prior to such requested Transfer (each, a "Transfer
--------
Date"), written notice in the form of Annex C specifying the proposed Transfer
----
Date and setting forth detailed information regarding the Receivables to be
included in such Transfer, including an addendum to Schedule II hereto. The
total amount to be paid by the Active Transferees in respect of such Transfer
shall be equal to the Aggregate Adjusted Outstanding Balance of the Related
Contracts for the Receivables included in such Transfer (the "Consideration" for
such Receivables).
(b) Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall
deliver a copy thereof to each of the Transferees. By 3 p.m. (New York City
time) on each Transfer Date, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set
forth in Exhibit II hereto, (x) the Active Transferees shall make available to
the Administrative Agent their respective Pro Rata shares of the Consideration
in respect of such Transfer by deposit of such amounts in same day funds to the
Administrative Agent's Account and, after the receipt by the Administrative
Agent of such funds, the Administrative Agent will cause such Consideration to
be paid to the Transferor in immediately available funds prior to 4:00 p.m. (New
York City time) to the Transferor's account no. 21000-1177-1909 at First Union
Bank, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (ABA#0312-0146-7); provided, however, that in
-------- -------
the case of each Transfer other than the initial Transfer, the applicable
Consideration may be netted against all amounts on such payments of Capital to
be deposited in the Administrative Agent's Account on such date by the
Collection Agent pursuant to Section 1.03 and (y) the Transferor does hereby
(effective on the date of each Transfer automatically and without any further
documentation) transfer to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the
applicable Transferees all of the related Receivables, the Related Contracts,
the Related Security and the Collections in respect thereof. The Active
Transferees shall on or before the tenth day of each month (or if such day is
not a Business Day, on the preceding Business Day), notify the Administrative
Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall notify the Transferor, of the Yield
accrued with respect to the prior Settlement Period or portion thereof. Each
Transfer to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Active Transferees
hereunder shall be allocated Pro Rata to each such Transferee.
(c) Each APA Transferee's obligation hereunder shall be several, such that
the failure of any APA Transferee to make a payment in connection with any
Transfer hereunder shall not relieve any other APA Transferee of its obligation
hereunder to make payment for any Transfer. Further, in the event any APA
Transferee fails to satisfy its obligation to accept a Transfer as required
hereunder, upon receipt of notice of such failure from the Administrative Agent,
subject to the limitations set forth herein, each of the non-defaulting APA
Transferees shall accept a transfer of its respective Pro Rata share of such
defaulting APA Transferee's applicable share of 4860144 the related Transfer
(determined without regard to the Commitment of the defaulting APA Transferee).
Notwithstanding anything in this paragraph to the contrary, no APA Transferee
shall be required to accept a transfer pursuant to this paragraph for an amount
which would cause the Capital of such APA Transferee (after giving effect to
such transfer) to exceed its
2
Commitment.
SECTION 1.03. Settlement Procedures. (a) Collection of the Receivables
---------------------
shall be administered by the Collection Agent, in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement. The Transferor shall provide to the Collection Agent on a timely
basis all information needed for such administration.
(b) The Collection Agent shall, on each day on which Collections are
received by it, set aside and hold in trust for the Transferees such Collections
and shall deposit into the Administrative Agent's Account,
(i) on each Settlement Date, from such Collections, an amount equal
to accrued and unpaid Yield and any fees owed to the Administrative Agent
pursuant to Section 1.04(a);
(ii) on each Settlement Date, an amount equal to the Collection
Agent Fee accrued but unpaid during the preceding Settlement Period; and
(iii) on each Settlement Date, from such Collections, an amount equal
to the portion of Collections received during the preceding Settlement
Period remaining after application pursuant to the preceding clauses (i)
and (ii); provided that prior to the Facility Termination Date, the amount
--------
to be deposited pursuant to this clause (iii) will not exceed the product
of (A) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Required Balance and the
denominator of which is the aggregate Outstanding Balance of the Related
Contracts and (B) the amount of such Collections;
provided, however, that the aggregate amount deposited pursuant to this
-------- -------
subsection (b) shall not exceed the sum of the Aggregate Capital of, and accrued
Yield and Collection Agent Fee on, the Receivables plus the aggregate of any
other amounts then owed by the Transferor to any Transferee, the Administrative
Agent or Affected Person hereunder.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless a Trigger Event or Potential Trigger
Event has occurred, for so long as the Originator is the Collection Agent, the
Collection Agent shall not be required to set aside Collections, but may
commingle the Collections with its own funds and make the deposits required to
the Administrative Agent's Account pursuant to this paragraph (b) on the dates
required. For so long as the Originator is the Collection Agent, the Collection
Agent shall not be required to deposit the Collection Agent Fee to the
Administrative Agent's Account as required by clause (ii) of this paragraph (b)
but may retain such fee from the Collections remaining after the deposits
required pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph (b).
(c) (i) Upon receipt of funds deposited into the Administrative Agent's
Account pursuant to subsection (b)(i) or (b)(ii) above, the Administrative
Agent shall distribute such funds, together with any funds received in
respect of the PARCO Cap, as follows: Pro Rata to each Transferee in
payment of accrued but unpaid Yield on the Capital of such Transferee and
to the Administrative Agent in respect of any fees owed pursuant to
3
Section 1.04(a).
(ii) Upon receipt of funds deposited into the Administrative Agent's
Account pursuant to subsection (b)(ii) above, the Administrative Agent
shall distribute such funds, in an amount equal to the accrued but unpaid
Collection Agent Fee, to the Collection Agent on account of the Collection
Agent Fee.
(iii) Upon receipt of funds deposited into the Administrative Agent's
Account pursuant to subsection (b)(iii) above, the Administrative Agent
shall distribute such funds as follows: first, to the Administrative Agent
-----
for Pro Rata distribution to each Transferee in reduction to zero of all
Capital of such Transferee, second, to the Administrative Agent for the
------
account of the Transferees, the Administrative Agent or any Affected
Person, as applicable, in payment of any other amounts owed by the
Transferor hereunder, and third, to the Transferor for its own account.
-----
(d) For the purposes of this Section 1.03:
(i) Upon discovery by the Originator or the Transferor or the
Administrative Agent of a breach of any of the representations or
warranties made or deemed made by the Originator in paragraph (h) of
Exhibit III with respect to any Receivable or the Related Security, such
party shall give prompt written notice thereof to the other party, as soon
as practicable and in any event within three Business Days following such
discovery. The Transferor shall be deemed to have received on such day a
Collection in full of such Receivable and all other Receivables relating to
the same Contract, in the amount of the Outstanding Balance of such
Contract plus Yield accrued and to accrue thereon through the end of the
then current Settlement Period, and the amount of each such Collection
shall be applied as provided in this Section 1.03; and
(ii) if and to the extent the Administrative Agent or any Transferee
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 Transferor and,
accordingly, the Administrative Agent or such Transferee, as the case may
be, shall have a claim against the Transferor for such amount, payable when
and to the extent that any distribution from or on behalf of such Obligor
is made in respect thereof.
(e) Except as provided in paragraph (i) of Section 1.03(d), or as
otherwise required by 4 4860144 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 the due but unpaid
amounts with respect to such Receivables, starting with the oldest such due but
unpaid amount, unless such Obligor designates its payment for application to
specific Receivables.
(f) The Transferor shall forthwith deliver to the Collection Agent an
amount equal to all Collections deemed received by the Transferor pursuant to
Section 1.03(d)(i) above and the
4
Collection Agent shall hold or distribute such Collections in accordance with
Section 1.03(b). If Collections are then being paid to the Administrative Agent,
the Collection Agent shall forthwith cause such deemed Collections to be paid to
the Administrative Agent. If a Trigger Event or Potential Trigger Event has
occurred, so long as the Transferor shall hold any Collections or deemed
Collections required to be paid to the Collection Agent or the Administrative
Agent, it shall hold such Collections in trust and separate and apart from its
own funds and shall clearly xxxx its records to reflect such trust.
(g) The Transferor may reduce the Aggregate Capital upon delivery of a
notice in the form of Annex D at least ten Business Days' (in the case of
reductions in excess of $25,000,000) or at least two Business Days' (in the case
of reduction of $25,000,000 or less), to the Active Transferees and the
Administrative Agent, by remitting to the Administrative Agent's Account (i)
cash and (ii) instructions to apply such cash to the Pro Rata reduction of each
Transferee's Capital and Yield accrued and to accrue thereon (until such cash
can be used to pay commercial paper notes). The Transferor shall pay all
breakage and other costs related to such Capital reduction; provided, however,
that each of the Transferees and the Administrative Agent shall use its
reasonable best efforts to minimize any breakage costs.
(h) The Transferor may, upon at least ten Business Days' notice to the
Administrative Agent, repurchase all of the Receivables on any Settlement Date
(the "Repurchase Date") by remitting to the Administrative Agent's Account on or
---------------
prior to such Repurchase Date, for distribution in accordance with subsection
1.03(c) above, cash in an amount equal to the Aggregate Capital, plus all
accrued and unpaid Yield thereon, and all other amounts which are payable under
this Agreement. A repurchase of Receivables made pursuant to this subsection
1.03(h) shall include the Related Security and Collections with respect thereto.
SECTION 1.04. Payment of Fees and Yield. (a) Fees. The Transferor shall
------------------------- ----
pay to the Administrative Agent certain fees in the amounts and on the dates set
forth in a separate fee agreement of even date herewith (as amended,
supplemented or otherwise modified, the "Fee Letter") between the Transferor and
----------
the Administrative Agent.
(b) Yield. On or before the tenth day of each month (or if such day is not
-----
a Business Day, on the preceding Business Day), the Administrative Agent shall
calculate the Tranche Rate applicable to each Tranche funded or maintained by a
Transferee for each day in the prior Settlement Period and the Administrative
Agent shall notify the Servicer of such rates.
(c) Collection Agent Fee The Collection Agent shall be entitled to receive
--------------------
a fee (the "Collection Agent Fee") of one-twelfth of 1.50% per month on the
--------------------
average daily Aggregate Capital from the date of the first Transfer of
Receivables until the date on which such Aggregate Capital is reduced to zero,
payable on each Settlement Date. The Collection Agent Fee shall be payable
solely from Collections pursuant to, and subject to the priority of payment set
forth in, Section 1.03.
SECTION 1.05. Payments and Computations, Etc. (a) Unless otherwise
------------------------------
specified herein, all amounts to be paid or deposited by the Transferor or the
Collection Agent hereunder
5
to or for the account of the Administrative Agent, PARCO or any other Transferee
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 Administrative Agent's Account. Upon
receipt of funds deposited into the Administrative Agent's Account, the
Administrative Agent shall distribute such funds to the Persons entitled thereto
in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or retain such funds for its
own account, as appropriate.
(b) The Transferor shall, to the extent permitted by law, pay interest on
any amount not paid or deposited by the Transferor (whether as Collection Agent
or otherwise) when due hereunder, at an interest rate per annum equal to 2% per
annum above the Base Rate, payable on demand.
(c) Unless otherwise specified herein, all computations of interest under
subsection (b) above and 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 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 1.06. Increased Costs. (a) If the Administrative Agent, any
---------------
Transferee, any other entity which enters into a commitment to acquire
Receivables or interests therein, or any entity which provides credit
enhancement or any of their respective Affiliates (each an "Affected Person")
---------------
determines that 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 or would affect the amount of 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 accept transfers of or otherwise to maintain the
investment in Receivables or interests therein hereunder or under any
commitments to a Transferee related to this Agreement or to the funding thereof
or any related liquidity facility or credit enhancement facility (or any
participation therein) and other commitments of the same type, then, upon demand
by such Affected Person (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the
Transferor shall immediately pay to the Administrative Agent, 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 the light of such circumstances, to the extent that such
Affected Person reasonably determines such increase in capital to be allocable
to the existence of any of such commitments. A certificate as to such amounts
submitted to the Transferor and the Administrative Agent by such Affected Person
shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
(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) 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 a Transferee of agreeing to accept the Transfer of or accepting such
Transfers, or maintaining the ownership of the Receivables or interests therein
in respect of which Yield is
6
computed by reference to the Eurodollar Rate, then upon demand by such
Transferee (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Transferor shall
immediately pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such Transferee
(as a third-party beneficiary), from time to time as specified by such
Transferee, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Transferee for such
increased costs. A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Transferor
and the Administrative Agent by a Transferee shall be conclusive and binding for
all purposes, absent manifest error.
SECTION 1.07. Requirements of Law. In the event that any requirement of
-------------------
law or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof by the
relevant governmental authority to a Transferee after the date hereof or
compliance by a Transferee with any request or directive (whether or not having
the force of law) from any central bank or other governmental authority:
(i) does or shall subject such Transferee to any tax of any kind
whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or change the basis of taxation
of payments to such Transferee on account of Collections, Yield or any
other amounts payable hereunder (excluding taxes imposed on the income of
such Transferee, and franchise taxes imposed on such Transferee, by the
jurisdiction under the laws of which such Transferee is organized or a
political subdivision thereof); or
(ii) does or shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve,
special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held
by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, purchases,
advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition
of funds by, any office of such Transferee which are not otherwise included
in the determination of the Eurodollar Rate or the Base Rate hereunder;
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such
Transferee of maintaining an interest in Receivables or to reduce any amount
receivable hereunder, then, in any such case, the Transferor shall pay such
Transferee, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such
Transferee for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable with regard to
such Transferee's Receivables. All such amounts shall be payable as incurred. A
certificate from such Transferee or the Administrative Agent, as the case may
be, to the Transferor certifying, in reasonably specific detail, the basis for,
calculation of, and amount of such additional costs shall be conclusive in the
absence of manifest error.
SECTION 1.08. Inability to Determine Eurodollar Rate. In the event that
--------------------------------------
the Administrative Agent shall have determined prior to the first day of any
Settlement Period (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the
parties hereto) by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank Eurodollar
market, either (a) dollar deposits in the relevant amounts and for the relevant
Settlement Period are not available, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not
exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for such Settlement Period or (c) the
Eurodollar Rate determined pursuant hereto does not accurately reflect the cost
to the Transferees (as conclusively determined by the Administrative Agent) of
maintaining Receivables during
7
such Settlement Period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly give telephonic
notice of such determination, confirmed in writing, to the Transferor prior to
the first day of such Settlement Period. Until such notice has been withdrawn by
the Administrative Agent, no further Tranches shall be funded or maintained at
the Eurodollar Rate. The Administrative Agent agrees to withdraw any such notice
as soon as reasonably practicable after the Administrative Agent is notified of
a change in circumstances which makes such notice inapplicable.
SECTION 1.09. Breakage Costs. If (a) any payment of Capital as to which
--------------
Yield is computed by reference to the Eurodollar Rate or the CP Rate is made by
the Transferor to or for the account of any Transferee other than on the last
day of a Settlement Period, as a result of a payment pursuant to Sections 1.03,
1.10 or 3.03 or for any other reason, or (b) the Termination Date shall occur
during any Settlement Period, or (c) any payment of Capital is made by the
Transferor to a Transferee or an Affected Person other than on the last day of a
Settlement Period upon a purchase and assumption of rights and obligations under
this Agreement as a result of a demand by the Transferor, the Transferor shall,
upon demand by such Transferee or Affected Person (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent), immediately pay to the Administrative Agent for the
account of such Transferee or Affected Person (as a third-party beneficiary) any
amounts required to compensate such Transferee or Affected Person for any
additional losses, costs or expenses which it may reasonably incur as a result
of such payment, including, without limitation, any loss (including loss of
anticipated profits), costs or expenses incurred by reason of the liquidation or
reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Transferee or Affected
Person to fund or maintain its interest in the Receivables. A certificate as to
such amounts submitted to the Transferor and the Administrative Agent by such
Transferee or Affected Person shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes,
absent manifest error.
SECTION 1.10. Retransfer of Receivables. At any time after the Aggregate
-------------------------
Capital is reduced to less than 10% of the highest amount of Aggregate Capital
outstanding on or prior to the Facility Termination Date, the Transferor may, at
its option, upon not less than thirty days notice to the Administrative Agent,
accept the retransfer from the Administrative Agent on the Settlement Date next
succeeding such thirty day period or on such other date as shall be mutually
agreed to by the Administrative Agent and the Transferor (the "Retransfer
----------
Date"), of all of the Receivables and the Related Security then held by the
----
Administrative Agent for an amount equal to the Aggregate Capital outstanding as
at the Retransfer Date (after application of all Collections received on or
prior to such date) plus any accrued and unpaid Yield as at such date plus any
other amounts then owed by the Transferor under this Agreement. The Transferor
shall be entitled to all Collections from the Receivables retransferred to the
Transferor in accordance with this Section 1.10 which are received after the
Retransfer Date and the Collection Agent shall set aside and hold in trust for,
and shall pay forthwith to, the Transferor all such Collections. The terms and
provisions of this Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as
the case may be, if any such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be returned
to the Transferor upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the
Transferor or an Obligor or otherwise, all as though such payment had never been
made. On the Retransfer Date:
(i) all of the Receivables and Related Security shall be
retransferred to the Transferor without any representation or warranty
other than that they are free and clear
8
of any Adverse Claims created by or through the Transferees or the
Administrative Agent, and
(ii) the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Transferor executed
UCC-3 Termination Statements, terminating the interest of the
Administrative Agent in all such Receivables and Related Security,
thereupon the Transferor shall be vested with all right, title and interest in
such Receivables and Related Security, and the Administrative Agent and the
Transferees shall no longer hold any interest in any of such Receivables or
Related Security.
SECTION 1.11. Security Interest. As collateral security for the
-----------------
performance by the Transferor of all the terms, covenants and agreements on the
part of the Transferor (whether as Transferor 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 Transferor hereunder or thereunder, whether for the
payment of Capital, Yield, indemnification payments, fees, expenses or
otherwise, the Transferor hereby assigns to the Administrative Agent for its
benefit and the ratable benefit of the Transferees, and hereby grants to the
Administrative Agent for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Transferees,
a present and continuing security interest in, all of the Transferor's right,
title and interest in and to:
(a) the Transfer Agreement, including, without limitation, (i) all rights
of the Transferor to receive moneys due or to become due under or pursuant to
the Transfer Agreement, (ii) 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 Transfer Agreement, (iii) all rights of the Transferor
to receive proceeds of any insurance, indemnity, warranty or guaranty with
respect to the Transfer Agreement (except any rights that might arise under the
Support Agreement), (iv) claims of the Transferor for damages arising out of or
for breach of or default under the Transfer Agreement, and (v) the right of the
Transferor to compel performance and otherwise exercise all remedies thereunder,
(b) all Receivables and the Related Security and Collections with respect
thereto,
(c) all amounts due from the cap provider under the PARCO Cap, and
(d) to the extent not included in the foregoing, all proceeds of any and
all of the foregoing.
ARTICLE II REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES; COVENANTS; TRIGGER EVENTS

SECTION 2.02. Trigger Events. If any of the Trigger Events set forth in
--------------
Exhibit V hereto shall occur and be continuing, the Administrative Agent may, by
notice to the Transferor, take either or both of the following actions: (x)
declare the Termination Date to have occurred, and (y) designate another Person
to succeed the Originator as the Collection Agent; provided, that, automatically
--------
upon the occurrence of any event (without any requirement for the passage of

Administrative Agent hereby appoint the Collection Agent, from time to time
designated pursuant to Section 4.01, as agent for themselves and for the

Transferees.

with the procedures described in Section 1.03.

expense, the Transferor 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
Receivables and the Related Contracts and Related Security, or that are
otherwise necessary or desirable to collect the Receivables, and shall make
the same available to the Administrative Agent at a place selected by the
Administrative Agent or its designee, and (B) segregate all cash, checks
and other instruments received by it from time to time constituting
Collections in a manner acceptable to the Administrative Agent and,
promptly upon receipt, remit all such cash, checks and instruments, duly

and all steps in the Transferor's name and on behalf of the Transferor that
are necessary or desirable, in the determination of the Administrative

representing Collections and enforcing the Receivables and the Related
Security and related Contracts.
SECTION 4.04. Rights and Remedies. (a) If the Collection Agent fails to

perform any of its obligations under this Agreement, the Administrative Agent
may (but shall not be required to) itself perform, or cause performance of, such
obligation; and the Administrative Agent's costs and expenses incurred in
connection therewith shall be payable by the Transferor (if the Collection Agent
that fails to so perform is the Transferor or its designee).
(b) The Transferor and the Originator shall perform their respective
obligations under the Related Contracts to the same extent as if the Receivables
had not been transferred and the exercise by the Administrative Agent on behalf
of the Transferees of their rights under this Agreement shall not release the
Collection Agent or the Transferor from any of their duties or obligations with
respect to any Receivables or Related Contracts. Neither the Administrative
Agent nor the Transferees shall have any obligation or liability with respect to
any Receivables or Related Contracts, nor shall any of them be obligated to

this Agreement and Article VI of the Transfer Agreement, the provisions of this

transferred hereunder, or to enable the Transferees or the Administrative Agent
to exercise and enforce their respective rights and remedies hereunder. Without
limiting the foregoing, the Originator will upon the request of the

public accountants, which may be the Collection Agent's independent
14
public accountants), (i) to conduct periodic audits of the Receivables, the
Related Security and the related books and records and collections systems of
the Collection Agent, (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 the Receivables and the Related Security, including, without limitation, the
Related Contracts, and (iii) to visit the offices and properties of the
Collection Agent for the purpose of examining such materials described in clause

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 will not make

collectibility of any Receivable or the ability of the Originator (if it is
acting as Collection Agent) to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

any other rights that the Administrative Agent, any Transferee or any of their
respective Affiliates (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) (all of the foregoing being collectively referred to

---------------------------
following (excluding, however, (a) Special Indemnified Amounts to the extent
resulting from gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such
Special Indemnified Party, (b) recourse for uncollectible Receivables 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

Contract):

(c) The provisions of this Section 5.05 shall survive any termination of
------------
this Agreement.
SECTION 5.06. Confidentiality . Unless otherwise required by applicable

-------------
the Administrative Agent that for federal, state and local income and franchise
tax purposes, the Capital will be treated as evidence of indebtedness of the
Transferor secured by the Receivables, the Related Security and Collections and
other proceeds thereof. The Transferor, the Administrative Agent, PARCO and the
other Transferees, by entering into this Agreement, intend to treat the Capital
as indebtedness.

provider of other services or facilities from time to time, the "Agent Roles").
-----------

Roles, waives any objections it may have to any actual or potential conflict of
interest caused by the Administrative Agent acting as the administrative agent
for PARCO or as a related APA Transferee or as a liquidity or credit support
provider under PARCO's commercial paper program and acting as or maintaining any
of the Agent Roles, and agrees that in connection with any Agent Role, the
