THIS RECEIVABLES SALE AGREEMENT, dated as of March 2, 2001 is by and between S.C. Xxxxxxx Commercial Markets, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Originator”), and JWPR Corporation, a Nevada corporation (“Buyer”). Unless defined elsewhere herein, capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in Exhibit I.

PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS

Originator now owns, and from time to time hereafter will own, Receivables. Originator wishes to sell and assign to Buyer, and Buyer wishes to purchase from Originator, all of Originator’s right, title and interest in and to such Receivables, together with the Related Security and Collections with respect thereto.

Originator and Buyer intend the transactions contemplated hereby to be true sales of the Receivables from Originator to Buyer, providing Buyer with the full benefits of ownership of the Receivables, and Originator and Buyer do not intend these transactions to be, or for any purpose to be characterized as, loans from Buyer to Originator.

Following the purchase of Receivables from Originator, Buyer will sell undivided interests therein and in the associated Related Security and Collections pursuant to that certain Receivables Purchase Agreement dated as of March 2, 2001 (as the same may from time to time hereafter be amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified, the “Purchase Agreement”) among Buyer, Falcon Asset Securitization Corporation (“FALCON”), the financial institutions from time to time party thereto as “Financial Institutions” and Bank One, NA or any successor agent appointed pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, as agent for FALCON and such Financial Institutions (in such capacity, the “Agent”).

ARTICLE I

AMOUNTS AND TERMS

SECTION 1.1 Purchase of Receivables.

(a) Effective on the date hereof, in consideration for the Purchase Price and upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, Originator does hereby sell, assign, transfer, set-over and otherwise convey to Buyer, without recourse (except to the extent expressly provided herein), and Buyer does hereby purchase from Originator, all of Originator’s right, title and interest in and to (i) all Receivables, if any, not otherwise conveyed under the Transfer Agreement which are existing as of the close of business on the Business Day immediately prior to the date hereof and (ii) all Receivables thereafter arising through and including the Amortization Date, together, in each case, with all Related Security relating thereto and all Collections thereof. In accordance with the preceding sentence, on the date hereof Buyer shall acquire all of Originator’s right, title and interest in and to (i) all Receivables, if any, not otherwise conveyed under the Transfer Agreement which are existing as of the close of business on the Business Day immediately prior to the date hereof and (ii) all Receivables thereafter arising through and including the Amortization Date, together with all Related Security relating thereto and all Collections thereof; provided, that, Buyer shall be obligated to pay the Purchase Price therefor in accordance with Section 1.2. In connection with the payment of the Purchase Price for any Receivables purchased hereunder, Buyer may request that Originator deliver, and Originator shall deliver, such approvals, opinions, information, reports or documents as Buyer may reasonably request.

(b) It is the intention of the parties hereto that the Purchase of Receivables made hereunder shall constitute a “sale of accounts” (as such term is used in Article 9 of the UCC), which sale is absolute and irrevocable and provides Buyer with the full benefits of ownership of the Receivables. Except for the Purchase Price Credits owed pursuant to Section 1.3, the sale of Receivables hereunder is made without recourse to Originator; provided, however, that (i) Originator shall be liable to Buyer for all representations, warranties and covenants made by Originator pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Documents to which Originator is a party, and (ii) such sale does not constitute and is not intended to result in an assumption by Buyer or any assignee thereof of any obligation of Originator or any other Person arising in connection with the Receivables, the related Contracts and/or other Related Security or any other obligations of Originator. In view of the intention of

the parties hereto that the Purchase of Receivables made hereunder shall constitute a sale of such Receivables rather than loans secured thereby, Originator agrees that it will, on or prior to the date hereof and in accordance with Section 4.1(e)(ii), xxxx its master data processing records relating to the Receivables with a legend acceptable to Buyer and to the Agent (as Buyer’s assignee), evidencing that Buyer has purchased such Receivables as provided in this Agreement and to note in its financial statements that its Receivables have been sold to Buyer. Upon the request of Buyer or the Agent (as Buyer’s assignee), Originator will execute and file such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto or assignments thereof, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or appropriate to perfect and maintain the perfection of Buyer’s ownership interest in the Receivables and the Related Security and Collections with respect thereto, or as Buyer or the Agent (as Buyer’s assignee) may reasonably request.

SECTION 1.2 Payment for the Purchase.

(a) The Purchase Price for the Purchase of Receivables, if any, not otherwise conveyed under the Transfer Agreement which are in existence on the close of business on the Business Day immediate preceding the date hereof (the “Initial Cutoff Date”) shall be payable in full by Buyer to Originator on the date hereof, and shall be paid to Originator in the following manner:

(i) by delivery of immediately available funds, to the extent of funds made available to Buyer in connection with its subsequent sale of an interest in such Receivables to the Purchasers under the Purchase Agreement, and

(ii) the balance, by delivery of the proceeds of a subordinated revolving loan from Originator to Buyer (a “Subordinated Loan”) in an amount not to exceed the least of (i) the remaining unpaid portion of such Purchase Price, and (ii) the maximum Subordinated Loan that could be borrowed without rendering Buyer’s Net Worth less than the Minimum Net Worth. The Originator is hereby authorized by Buyer to endorse on the schedule attached to the Subordinated Note an appropriate notation evidencing the date and amount of each advance thereunder, as well as the date of each payment with respect thereto, provided that the failure to make such notation shall not affect any obligation of Buyer thereunder.

The Purchase Price for each Receivable coming into existence after the Initial Cutoff Date shall be due and owing in full by Buyer to Originator or its designee on the date each such Receivable came into existence (except that Buyer may, with respect to any such Purchase Price, offset against such Purchase Price any amounts owed by Originator to Buyer hereunder and which have become due but remain unpaid) and shall be paid to Originator in the manner provided in the following paragraphs (b), (c) and (d).

(b) With respect to any Receivables coming into existence after the date hereof, on each Settlement Date, Buyer shall pay the Purchase Price therefor in accordance with Section 1.2(d) and in the following manner:

first, by delivery of immediately available funds, to the extent of funds available to Buyer from its subsequent sale of an interest in the Receivables to the Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers under the Purchase Agreement or other cash on hand; and

second, by delivery of the proceeds of a Subordinated Loan, provided that the making of any such Subordinated Loan shall be subject to the provisions set forth in Section 1.2(a)(ii);

Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 1.2(a)(ii), Originator irrevocably agrees to advance each Subordinated Loan requested by Buyer on or prior to the Amortization Date. The Subordinated Loans shall be evidenced by, and shall be payable in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Subordinated Note and shall be payable solely from funds which Buyer is not required under the Purchase Agreement to set aside for the benefit of, or otherwise pay over to, the Purchasers.

(c) From and after the Amortization Date, Originator shall not be obligated to (but may, at its option) sell Receivables to Buyer unless Originator reasonably determines that the Purchase Price therefor will be satisfied with funds available to Buyer from sales of interests in the Receivables pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Collections, proceeds of Subordinated Loans or otherwise.

(d) Although the Purchase Price for each Receivable coming into existence after the date hereof shall be due and payable in full by Buyer to Originator on the date such Receivable came into existence, and although Buyer intends in the ordinary course to remit to Originator on a daily basis amounts (to the extent available therefor under the Purchase Agreement) from collections on the

Receivables for application to the Purchase Price obligation then outstanding, settlement of the Purchase Price between Buyer and Originator shall be effected on a monthly basis on Settlement Dates with respect to all Receivables coming into existence during the same Calculation Period and based on the information contained in the Monthly Report delivered by the Sub-Servicer pursuant to Article VII for the Calculation Period then most recently ended. Although settlement shall be effected on Settlement Dates, increases or decreases in the amount owing under the Subordinated Note made pursuant to Section 1.2(b) shall be deemed to have occurred and shall be effective as of the last Business Day of the Calculation Period to which such settlement relates.

SECTION 1.3 Purchase Price Credit Adjustments. If on any day:

(a) the Outstanding Balance of a Receivable is:

(i) reduced as a result of any defective or rejected goods or services, any discount or any adjustment or otherwise by Originator (other than cash Collections on account of the Receivables),

(ii) reduced or canceled as a result of a setoff in respect of any claim by any Person (whether such claim arises out of the same or a related transaction or an unrelated transaction), or

(b) any of the representations and warranties set forth in Article II are no longer true with respect to any Receivable,

then, in such event, Buyer shall be entitled to a credit (each, a “Purchase Price Credit”) against the Purchase Price otherwise payable hereunder equal to the Outstanding Balance of such Receivable. If the aggregate amount of all Purchase Price Credits during any Calculation Period shall exceed the aggregate amount of Purchase Price payable in respect of Receivables coming into existence during such Calculation Period, the Originator shall pay an amount in cash equal to such excess to Buyer on the Settlement Date following the end of such Calculation Period or on such earlier date as the Agent may direct, provided that if the Amortization Date has not occurred, Originator shall be allowed to deduct the remaining amount of such Purchase Price Credit from any indebtedness owed to it under the Subordinated Note.

SECTION 1.4 Payments and Computations, Etc. All amounts to be paid or deposited by Buyer hereunder shall be paid or deposited in accordance with the

terms hereof on the day when due in immediately available funds to the account of Originator designated from time to time by Originator or as otherwise directed by Originator. In the event that any payment owed by any Person hereunder becomes due on a day that is not a Business Day, then such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day. If any Person fails to pay any amount hereunder when due, such Person agrees to pay, on demand, the Default Fee in respect thereof until paid in full; provided, however, that such Default Fee shall not at any time exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. All computations of interest payable 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.

SECTION 1.5 Transfer of Records.

(a) In connection with the Purchase of Receivables hereunder, Originator hereby sells, transfers, assigns and otherwise conveys to Buyer all of Originator’s right and title to and interest in the Records relating to all Receivables sold hereunder, without the need for any further documentation in connection with the Purchase. In connection with such transfer, Originator hereby grants to each of Buyer, the Agent and the Servicer an irrevocable, non-exclusive license to use, without royalty or payment of any kind, all software used by Originator to account for the Receivables, to the extent necessary to administer the Receivables, whether such software is owned by Originator or is owned by others and used by Originator under license agreements with respect thereto, provided that should the consent of any licensor of Originator to such grant of the license described herein be required, Originator hereby agrees that upon the request of Buyer (or the Agent as Buyer’s assignee), Originator will use its reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of such third-party licensor. The license granted hereby shall be irrevocable, and shall terminate on the date this Agreement terminates in accordance with its terms.

(b) Originator (i) shall take such action requested by Buyer and/or the Agent (as Buyer’s assignee), from time to time hereafter, that may be necessary or appropriate to ensure that Buyer and its assigns under the Purchase Agreement have an enforceable ownership interest in the Records relating to the Receivables purchased from Originator hereunder, and (ii) shall use its reasonable efforts to ensure that Buyer, the Agent and the Servicer each has an enforceable right (whether by license or sublicense or otherwise) to use all of the computer software used to account for the Receivables and/or to recreate such Records.

SECTION 1.6 Characterization. If, notwithstanding the intention of the parties expressed in Section 1.1(b), any sale or contribution by Originator to Buyer of Receivables hereunder shall be characterized as a secured loan and not a sale or such sale shall for any reason be ineffective or unenforceable, then this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a security agreement under the UCC and other applicable law. For this purpose and without being in derogation of the parties’ intention that the sale of Receivables hereunder shall constitute a true sale thereof, Originator hereby grants to Buyer a duly perfected security interest in all of Originator’s right, title and interest in, to and under all Receivables now existing and hereafter arising, all Collections, Related Security and Records with respect thereto, each Lock-Box and Collection Account and all proceeds of the foregoing, which security interest shall be prior to all other Adverse Claims thereto. After the occurrence of an Amortization Event, Buyer and its assigns shall have, in addition to the rights and remedies which they may have under this Agreement, all other rights and remedies provided to a secured creditor after default under the UCC and other applicable law, which rights and remedies shall be cumulative.

Originator will take all necessary action to establish and maintain, irrevocably in Buyer, legal and equitable title to the Receivables, the Related Security and the Collections, free and clear of any Adverse Claims other than Adverse Claims in favor of Buyer (and its assigns) (including, without limitation, the filing of all financing statements or other similar instruments or documents necessary under the UCC (or any comparable law) of all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect Buyer’s interest in such Receivables, Related Security and Collections and such other action to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the interest of Buyer as Buyer (or its assigns) may reasonably request).

(h) Purchasers’ Reliance. Originator acknowledges that the Agent and the Purchasers are entering into the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement in reliance upon Buyer’s identity as a legal entity that is separate from Originator and any Affiliates thereof. Therefore, from and after the date of execution and delivery of this Agreement, Originator will take all reasonable steps including, without limitation, all steps that Buyer or any assignee of Buyer may from time to time reasonably request to maintain Buyer’s identity as a separate legal entity and to make it manifest to third parties that Buyer is an entity with assets and liabilities distinct from those of Originator and any Affiliates thereof and not just a division of Originator. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and in addition to the other covenants set forth herein, Originator (i) will not hold itself out to third parties as liable for the debts of Buyer nor purport to own the Receivables and other assets acquired by Buyer, (ii) will take all other actions necessary on its part to ensure that Buyer is at all times in compliance with the covenants set forth in Section 7.1(i) of the Purchase Agreement and (iii) will cause all tax liabilities arising in connection with the transactions contemplated herein or otherwise to be allocated between Originator and Buyer on an arm’s-length basis and in a manner consistent with the procedures set forth in U.S. Treasury Regulations §§1.1502-33(d) and 1.1552-1.

(i) Collections. Originator will cause (1) all proceeds from all Lock-Boxes to be directly deposited by a Collection Bank into a Collection Account and (2) each Lock-Box and Collection Account to be subject at all times to a

Collection Account Agreement that is in full force and effect. In the event any payments relating to Receivables are remitted directly to Originator or any Affiliate of Originator, Originator will remit (or will cause all such payments to be remitted) directly to a Collection Bank for deposit into a Collection Account within two (2) Business Days following receipt thereof and, at all times prior to such remittance, Originator will itself hold or, if applicable, will cause such payments to be held in trust for the exclusive benefit of Buyer and its assigns. Originator will transfer exclusive ownership, dominion and control of each Lock-Box and Collection Account to Buyer and, will not grant the right to take dominion and control of any Lock-Box or Collection Account at a future time or upon the occurrence of a future event to any Person, except to Buyer (or its assigns) as contemplated by this Agreement and the Purchase Agreement.

(j) Taxes. Originator will file all tax returns and reports required by law to be filed by it and promptly pay all taxes and governmental charges at any time owing, except those which are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, provided that adequate reserves for such contested taxes have been established in accordance with GAAP and the relevant governmental authority shall not have commenced any enforcement proceedings seeking recourse against any assets of the Originator in respect of such contested taxes.

(k) Insurance. Originator will maintain in effect, or cause to be maintained in effect, at Originator’s own expense, such casualty and liability insurance as Originator deems appropriate in its good faith business judgement. Buyer and the Agent, for the benefit of the Purchasers, shall be named as additional insureds with respect to all such liability insurance maintained by Originator. Originator will pay or cause to be paid, the premiums therefor and deliver to Buyer and the Agent evidence satisfactory to Buyer and the Agent of such insurance coverage. Copies of the insurance certificates for any such policies shall be furnished to Buyer, the Agent and any Purchaser upon Buyer’s, the Agent’s or such Purchaser’s request. The foregoing requirements shall not be construed to negate, reduce or modify, and are in addition to, Originator’s obligations hereunder.

(l) Ownership of Seller. Originator owns, directly or indirectly, 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Buyer, JWP Investments, Inc. and each of JPI, USCHEM and XXXXXXXX, in each case, free and clear of any Adverse Claim, except as created by the Transaction Documents. Such

capital stock is validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and there are no options, warrants or other rights to acquire securities of Seller.

SECTION 4.2 Negative Covenants of Originator. Until the date on which this Agreement terminates in accordance with its terms, Originator hereby covenants that:

(a) Name Change, Offices and Records. Originator will not change its name, identity or corporate structure (within the meaning of Section 9-402(7) of any applicable enactment of the UCC) or relocate its chief executive office or any office where Records are kept unless it shall have: (i) given Buyer (or its assigns) at least forty-five (45) days’ prior written notice thereof and (ii) delivered to Buyer (or its assigns) all financing statements, instruments and other documents requested by Buyer (or its assigns) in connection with such change or relocation.

(b) Change in Payment Instructions to Obligors. Originator will not add or terminate any bank as a Collection Bank, or make any change in the instructions to Obligors regarding payments to be made to any Lock-Box or Collection Account, unless Buyer (or its assigns) shall have received, at least ten (10) days before the proposed effective date therefor, (i) written notice of such addition, termination or change and (ii) with respect to the addition of a Collection Bank or a Collection Account or Lock-Box, an executed Collection Account Agreement with respect to the new Collection Account or Lock-Box; provided, however, that Originator may make changes in instructions to Obligors regarding payments if such new instructions require such Obligor to make payments to another existing Collection Account.

(c) Modifications to Contracts and Credit and Collection Policy. Originator will not make any change to the Credit and Collection Policy that could adversely affect the collectibility of the Receivables or decrease the credit quality of any newly created Receivables. Except as otherwise permitted in its capacity as a Sub-Servicer pursuant to Article VIII of the Purchase Agreement and Article VII of this Agreement, Originator will not extend, amend or otherwise materially modify the terms of any Receivable or any Contract related thereto other than in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy.

(d) Sales, Liens. Originator will not sell, assign (by operation of law or otherwise) or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, or create or suffer to exist any Adverse Claim upon (including, without limitation, the filing of any financing statement) or with respect to, any

Receivable, Related Security or Collections, or upon or with respect to any Contract under which any Receivable arises, or any Lock-Box or Collection Account, or assign any right to receive income with respect thereto (other than, in each case, the creation of the interests therein in favor of Buyer provided for herein), and Originator will defend the right, title and interest of Buyer in, to and under any of the foregoing property, against all claims of third parties claiming through or under Originator. Originator shall not create or suffer to exist any mortgage, pledge, security interest, encumbrance, lien, charge or other similar arrangement on any of its inventory unless (i) in the case of any inventory, either (A) such Adverse Claim by its express terms is extinguished or released upon the sale, transfer or other disposition of such inventory or (B) such Adverse Claim is a nonconsensual lien arising by operation of law and the indebtedness or obligations secured thereby are not then due and payable, and (ii) if requested by the Agent, the applicable lienholder shall have entered into an intercreditor agreement with the Agent in the form and substance satisfactory to the Agent.

(e) Accounting for Purchase. Originator will not, and will not permit any Affiliate to, account for or treat (whether in financial statements or otherwise) the transactions contemplated hereby in any manner other than the sale of the Receivables and the Related Security by Originator to Buyer or in any other respect account for or treat the transactions contemplated hereby in any manner other than as a sale of the Receivables and the Related Security by Originator to Buyer except to the extent that such transactions are not recognized on account of consolidated financial reporting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

(c) Failure of Originator or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates to pay any Indebtedness when due in an aggregate amount in excess of $10,000,000; or the default by Originator or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates in the performance of any term, provision or condition contained in any agreement under which any such Indebtedness was created or is governed, the effect of which is to cause, or to permit the holder or holders of such Indebtedness to cause, such Indebtedness to become due prior to its stated maturity; or any such Indebtedness of Originator or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates shall be declared to be due and payable or required to be prepaid (other than by a regularly scheduled payment) prior to the date of maturity thereof.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Amortization Event, Buyer may take any of the following actions: (i) declare the Amortization Date to have occurred, whereupon the Amortization Date shall forthwith occur, without demand, protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Originator; provided, however, that upon the occurrence of Amortization Event described in Section 5.1(d) (subject to the proviso therein), or of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to Originator under the Federal Bankruptcy Code, the Amortization Date shall automatically occur, without demand, protest or any notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Originator and (ii) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, declare that the Default Fee shall accrue with respect to any amounts then due and owing by Buyer to Originator.

Without limiting any other rights that Buyer may have hereunder or under applicable law, Originator hereby agrees to indemnify Buyer and its assigns (including, without limitation, the Purchasers and the Agent), officers, directors, agents and employees (each an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all damages, losses, claims, taxes and liabilities, reasonable costs and expenses and for all other amounts payable, including reasonable attorneys’ fees (which attorneys may be employees of Buyer) and disbursements (all of the foregoing being collectively referred to as “Indemnified Amounts”) awarded against or incurred by any of them arising out of or as a result of this Agreement or the acquisition, either directly or indirectly, by Buyer of an interest in the Receivables, excluding, however:

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

(ix) any investigation, litigation or proceeding related to or arising from this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, the transactions contemplated hereby, the use of the proceeds of the Purchase, the ownership of the Receivables or any other investigation, litigation or proceeding relating to Originator in which any Indemnified Party becomes involved as a result of any of the transactions contemplated hereby;

(x) any inability to litigate any claim against any Obligor in respect of any Receivable as a result of such Obligor being immune from civil and commercial law and suit on the grounds of sovereignty or otherwise from any legal action, suit or proceeding;

(xi) any Amortization Event described in Section 5.1(d);

(xii) any failure to vest and maintain vested in Buyer, or to transfer to Buyer, legal and equitable title to, and ownership of, the Receivables, the Related Security and the Collections, free and clear of any Adverse Claim (except as created by the Transaction Documents);

(xiii) any action or omission by Originator which reduces or impairs the rights of Buyer with respect to any Receivable or the value of any such Receivable; and

(xiv) any attempt by any Person to void the Purchase hereunder under statutory provisions or common law or equitable action.
