THE ADVANCES

Section 1.1 Credit Facility.

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, from time to time prior to the Facility Termination Date upon receipt of a copy of each Borrowing Notice from Borrower, each of the Co-Agents shall determine whether its Conduit will fund a Loan in an amount equal to its Group's Percentage of the requested Advance specified in such Borrowing Notice. In the event that a Conduit elects not to make any such Loan to Borrower, the applicable Co-Agent shall promptly notify Borrower and, unless Borrower cancels its Borrowing Notice, each of such Conduit's Liquidity Banks severally agrees to make its Pro Rata Share of its Group's Percentage of such Loan to Borrower, on the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, provided that at no time may the aggregate principal amount of such Conduit's and such Conduit's Liquidity Banks' Loans outstanding exceed the lesser of (i) the aggregate amount of such Conduit's Liquidity Banks' Commitments, and (ii) such Conduit's Group's Percentage of the Borrowing Base (such lesser amount, the "Conduit Allocation Limit").

Each of the Advances, and all other Obligations, shall be secured by the Collateral as provided in Article XIII.

(b) Borrower may, upon at least 10 Business Days' notice to the Co-Agents, terminate in whole or reduce in part, ratably among the Liquidity Banks in each Group in accordance with such Group's Percentage, the unused portion of the Aggregate Commitment; provided that each partial reduction of the Aggregate Commitment shall be in an amount equal to $5,000,000 per Group (or a larger integral multiple of $1,000,000 per Group if in excess thereof) and shall reduce the Commitments of the Liquidity Banks in each Group ratably in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares.

Section 1.2 Increases

. Borrower shall provide the Co-Agents with at least one (1) Business Day's prior notice in a form set forth as Exhibit II hereto of each Advance, provided such notice is received by each Co-Agent no later than 12:00 noon on such Business Day (each, a "Borrowing Notice"). Each Borrowing Notice shall be subject to Section 6.2 hereof and, except as set forth below, shall be irrevocable and shall specify the requested increase in Aggregate Principal (which shall not be less than $1,000,000 per Group or a larger integral multiple of $100,000 per Group), the Borrowing Date (which, in the case of any Advance after the initial Advance hereunder, shall only be on a Settlement Date), and, in the case of an Advance which Borrower has been notified by the applicable Co-Agent will be funded by the applicable Group's Liquidity Banks, the requested Interest Rate and Interest Period. If a Conduit declines to make its Group's Percentage of a proposed Advance, Borrower may cancel the Borrowing Notice. On the date of each Advance, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article VI, the applicable Conduit or the applicable Conduit's Liquidity Banks, as applicable, shall make the proceeds of its Loan comprising such Group's Percentage of such requested Advance available to its Group's Co-Agent in immediately available funds on the proposed date of borrowing. Upon receipt by a Co-Agent of such Loan proceeds, such Co-Agent shall deposit to the Facility Account, in immediately available funds, no later than 12:00 noon (New York time), an amount equal to (i) in the case of a Conduit, such Conduit's Group's Percentage of the principal amount of the requested Advance or (ii) in the case of a Conduit's Liquidity Bank, each such Liquidity Bank's Pro Rata Share of such Liquidity Bank's Group's Percentage of the principal amount of the requested Advance.

Section 1.3 Decreases

. Except as provided in Section 1.4, Borrower shall provide the Co-Agents with prior written notice in conformity with the Required Notice Period in the form attached hereto as Exhibit XI (a "Reduction Notice") of any proposed reduction of Aggregate Principal. Such Reduction Notice shall designate (i) the date (the "Proposed Reduction Date") upon which any such reduction of Aggregate Principal shall occur (which date shall give effect to the applicable Required Notice Period), and (ii) the amount of Aggregate Principal to be reduced which shall be applied ratably to the Loans of the Conduits and the Liquidity Banks in accordance with the amount of principal (if any) owing to the Conduits (ratably, based on their Group's Percentage of such reduction), on the one hand, and the amount of principal (if any) owing to the Liquidity Banks (ratably, based on their respective Pro Rata Shares of their Group's Percentage of such reduction), on the other hand (the "Aggregate Reduction"). Only one (1) Reduction Notice with respect to any Proposed Reduction Date shall be outstanding at any time.

Section 1.4 Deemed Collections; Borrowing Limit

(a) If on any day:

(i) the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable is reduced by the Servicer as a result of any defective or rejected goods or services or any other adjustment (other than a Cash Discount) by any Originator or any Affiliate thereof, or as a result of any tariff or other governmental or regulatory charge, or

(ii) the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable is reduced or canceled by the Servicer as a result of a setoff in respect of any claim by the Obligor thereof (whether such claim arises out of the same or a related or an unrelated transaction), or

(iii) the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable is reduced by the Servicer on account of the obligation of any Originator or any Affiliate thereof to pay to the related Obligor any rebate or refund, or

(iv) the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable is less than the amount included in calculating the Net Pool Balance for purposes of any Monthly Report (for any reason other than such Receivable becoming a Defaulted Receivable), or

(v) any of the representations or warranties of Borrower set forth in Section 5.1(i), (j), (r), (s), (t) or (u) were not true when made with respect to any Receivable,

then, on such day, Borrower shall be deemed to have received a Collection of such Receivable (A) in the case of clauses (i)-(iv) above, in the amount of such reduction or cancellation or the difference between the actual Outstanding Balance and the amount included in calculating such Net Pool Balance, as applicable; and (B) in the case of clause (v) above, in the amount of the Outstanding Balance of such Receivable and, effective as of the date on which the next succeeding Monthly Report is required to be delivered, the Borrowing Base shall be reduced by the amount of such Deemed Collection.

(b) Borrower shall ensure that the Aggregate Principal at no time exceeds the Borrowing Limit. If, on any Business Day, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans from any Group exceeds such Group's Conduit Allocation Limit, or the aggregate principal amount of the Loans outstanding from such Group's Conduit exceeds the Liquidity Commitments of such Group's Liquidity Banks pursuant to such Group's Liquidity Agreement divided by 102%, Borrower shall prepay such Loans by wire transfer to the applicable Co-Agent received not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on thenext succeeding Settlement Date of an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess, together with accrued and unpaid interest on the amount prepaid (as allocated by the applicable Co-Agent), such that after giving effect to such payment the Aggregate Principal is less than or equal to the Borrowing Limit and the applicable Group's Percentage of the Aggregate Principal is less than or equal to the applicable Group's Conduit Allocation Limit.

Section 1.5 Payment Requirements

. All amounts to be paid or deposited by any Loan Party pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be paid or deposited in accordance with the terms hereof no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the day when due in immediately available funds, and if not received before 1:00 p.m. (New York time) shall be deemed to be received on the next succeeding Business Day. If such amounts are payable to a Lender they shall be paid to the applicable Co-Agent Account, for the account of such Lender, until otherwise notified by such Co-Agent. All computations of CP Costs, Interest, per annum fees calculated as part of any CP Costs, per annum fees hereunder and per annum fees under the Fee Letter shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days elapsed. If any amount hereunder shall be payable on a day which is not a Business Day, such amount shall be payable on the next succeeding Business Day.

Section 1.6 Ratable Loans; Funding Mechanics; Liquidity Fundings

(c) While it is the intent of each Conduit to fund each requested Advance through the issuance of its respective Commercial Paper, the parties acknowledge that if any Conduit is unable, or determines that it is undesirable, to issue Commercial Paper to fund all or any portion of its Loans, or is unable to repay such Commercial Paper upon the maturity thereof, such Conduit shall put all or any portion of its Loans to its Liquidity Banks at any time pursuant to its applicable Liquidity Agreement to finance or refinance the necessary portion of its Loans through a Liquidity Funding to the extent available. The Liquidity Fundings may be Alternate Base Rate Loans or LIBO Rate Loans, or a combination thereof, selected by Borrower in accordance with Article IV. Regardless of whether a Liquidity Funding constitutes the direct funding of a Loan, an assignment of a Loan made by a Conduit or the sale of one or more participations in a Loan made by a Conduit, each Liquidity Bank in such Conduit's Group participating in a Liquidity Funding shall have the rights of a "Lender" hereunder with the same force and effect as if it had directly made a Loan to Borrower in the amount of its Liquidity Funding.

(d) Nothing herein shall be deemed to commit any Conduit to make Loans.

Section 3.1 CP Costs

. Borrower shall pay CP Costs with respect to the principal balance of the Loans from time to time outstanding. Each Loan of a Conduit that is funded substantially with Pooled Commercial Paper will accrue CP Costs each day on a pro rata basis, based upon the percentage share that the principal in respect of such Loan represents in relation to all assets held by such Conduit and funded substantially with related Pooled Commercial Paper on such day.

Section 3.2 Calculation of CP Costs

. As soon as practicable, and not later than the 3^rd Business Day immediately preceding each Monthly Reporting Date, each Conduit shall calculate the aggregate amount of CP Costs applicable to its CP Rate Loans for the Calculation Period then most recently ended and shall notify Borrower of such aggregate amount, which notice shall include a reasonably detailed description of such calculations.

. On each Settlement Date, Borrower shall pay to the Co-Agents (for the benefit of their respective Conduit) an aggregate amount equal to all accrued and unpaid CP Costs in respect of the principal associated with all CP Rate Loans for the Calculation Period then most recently ended in accordance with Article II.

Section 3.4 Default Rate

. From and after the occurrence of an Amortization Event, all Loans of the Conduits shall accrue Interest at the Default Rate and shall cease to be CP Rate Loans.

ARTICLE IV.

LIQUIDITY FUNDING

Section 4.1 Liquidity Funding

. Prior to the occurrence of an Amortization Event, the outstanding principal balance of each Liquidity Funding shall accrue interest for each day during its Interest Period at either the LIBO Rate or the Alternate Base Rate in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. Until Borrower gives notice to the applicable Co-Agent of another Interest Rate in accordance with Section 4.4, the initial Interest Rate for any Loan transferred to the Liquidity Banks by the applicable Conduit pursuant to the applicable Liquidity Agreement shall be the Alternate Base Rate (unless the Default Rate is then applicable). If the applicable Liquidity Banks acquire by assignment from the applicable Conduit any Loan pursuant to the applicable Liquidity Agreement, each Loan so assigned shall each be deemed to have an Interest Period commencing on the date of any such assignment.

Section 4.2 Interest Payments

. On the Settlement Date for each Liquidity Funding, Borrower shall pay to the applicable Co-Agent (for the benefit of the Liquidity Banks in its Group) an aggregate amount equal to the accrued and unpaid Interest for the entire Interest Period of each such Liquidity Funding in accordance with Article II.

Section 4.3 Selection and Continuation of Interest Periods.

(a) With consultation from the applicable Co-Agent, Borrower shall from time to time request Interest Periods for the Liquidity Fundings, provided that if at any time any Liquidity Funding is outstanding, Borrower shall always request Interest Periods such that at least one Interest Period shall end on the date specified in clause (A) of the definition of Settlement Date.

(b) Borrower or the applicable Co-Agent, upon notice to and consent by the other received at least three (3) Business Days prior to the end of an Interest Period (the "Terminating Tranche") for any Liquidity Funding, may, effective on the last day of the Terminating Tranche: (i) divide any such Liquidity Funding into multiple Liquidity Fundings, (ii) combine any such Liquidity Funding with one or more other Liquidity Fundings that have a Terminating Tranche ending on the same day as such Terminating Tranche or (iii) combine any such Liquidity Funding with a new Liquidity Funding to be made by the applicable Liquidity Banks on the day such Terminating Tranche ends.

Section 4.4 Liquidity Bank Interest Rates

. Borrower may select the LIBO Rate or the Alternate Base Rate for each Liquidity Funding. Borrower shall by 12:00 noon (New York time): (i) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the expiration of any Terminating Tranche with respect to which the LIBO Rate is being requested as a new Interest Rate and (ii) at least one (1) Business Day prior to the expiration of any Terminating Tranche with respect to which the Alternate Base Rate is being requested as a new Interest Rate, give the applicable Co-Agent irrevocable notice of the new Interest Rate for the Liquidity Funding associated with such Terminating Tranche. Until Borrower gives notice to the applicable Co-Agent of another Interest Rate, the initial Interest Rate for any Loan transferred to the applicable Liquidity Banks pursuant to the applicable Liquidity Agreement shall be the Alternate Base Rate (unless the Default Rate is then applicable).

Section 4.5 Suspension of the LIBO Rate

(a) If any Liquidity Bank notifies its applicable Co-Agent that it has reasonably determined that funding its Pro Rata Share of its Group's Percentage of the Liquidity Fundings at a LIBO Rate would violate any applicable law, rule, regulation, or directive of any governmental or regulatory authority, or that (i) deposits of a type and maturity appropriate to match fund its Liquidity Funding at such LIBO Rate are not available or (ii) such LIBO Rate does not accurately reflect the cost of acquiring or maintaining a Liquidity Funding at such LIBO Rate, then such Co-Agent shall suspend the availability of such LIBO Rate and require Borrower to select the Alternate Base Rate for any Liquidity Funding of such Liquidity Bank accruing Interest at such LIBO Rate.

(b) If less than all of the Liquidity Banks of any applicable Group give a notice to such Group's Co-Agent pursuant to Section 4.5(a), each Liquidity Bank which gave such a notice shall be obliged, at the request of Borrower, the applicable Conduit or the applicable Co-Agent, to assign all of its rights and obligations hereunder to (i) another Liquidity Bank in its Group or (ii) another funding entity nominated by Borrower or the applicable Co-Agent that is an Eligible Assignee willing to participate in this Agreement through the Liquidity Termination Date in the place of such notifying Liquidity Bank; provided that (i) the notifying Liquidity Bank receives payment in full, pursuant to an Assignment Agreement, of all Obligations owing to it (whether due or accrued), and (ii) the replacement Liquidity Bank otherwise satisfies the requirements of Section 12.1(b).

Section 4.6 Default Rate

. From and after the occurrence of an Amortization Event, all Liquidity Fundings shall accrue Interest at the Default Rate.

ADMINISTRATION AND COLLECTION

Section 8.1 Designation of Servicer.

(a) The servicing, administration and collection of the Receivables shall be conducted by such Person (the "Servicer") so designated from time to time in accordance with this Section 8.1. Mohawk Servicing is hereby designated as, and shall have the rights and agrees to perform the duties and obligations of, the initial Servicer pursuant to the terms of the Servicing Agreement, subject to the provisions of this Agreement. The Borrower may, at any time upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Agents, designate any other direct or indirect Subsidiary of the Performance Guarantor as a successor Servicer, provided the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied. The Co-Agents may at any time following the occurrence of an Amortization Event designate as Servicer any Person to succeed Mohawk Servicing or any successor Servicer provided that the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied. To the extent that the Servicer's obligations under this Agreement are inconsistent with its obligations under the Servicing Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall govern and control.

(b) Mohawk Servicing may delegate, and Mohawk Servicing hereby advises the Lenders and the Agents that it has delegated, to the Originators, as sub-servicers of the Servicer and to the Performance Guarantor, certain of its duties and responsibilities as Servicer hereunder in respect of the Receivables originated by such Originator. Without the prior written consent of the Agents and the Required Liquidity Banks, Mohawk Servicing shall not be permitted to delegate any of its duties or responsibilities as Servicer to any Person other than (i) Borrower, (ii) the Originators, (iii) the Performance Guarantor, and (iv) with respect to certain Defaulted Receivables, outside collection agencies in accordance with its customary practices. Neither Borrower nor any Originator shall be permitted to further delegate to any other Person any of the duties or responsibilities of the Servicer delegated to it by Mohawk Servicing. If at any time the Co-Agents shall designate as Servicer any Person other than Mohawk Servicing, all duties and responsibilities theretofore delegated by Mohawk Servicing to Borrower or the Originators may, at the discretion of the Co-Agents, be terminated forthwith on notice given by the Co-Agents to Mohawk Servicing and to Borrower and the Originators.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing subsection (b): Mohawk Servicing shall be and remain primarily liable for the full and prompt performance of all duties and responsibilities of the Servicer pursuant to the Servicing Agreement and this Agreement. Mohawk Servicing, at all times that it is the Servicer, shall be responsible for providing any sub-servicer or other delegate of the Servicer with any notice given to the Servicer under this Agreement.

Section 8.2 Certain Duties of Servicer.

(a) [intentionally deleted].

(b) From and after the date the Administrative Agent delivers to any Collection Bank a Collection Notice pursuant to Section 8.3, any Agent may request that the Servicer, and the Servicer thereupon promptly shall instruct all Obligors with respect to the Receivables, to remit all payments thereon to a new depositary account specified by the Administrative Agent and, at all times thereafter, Borrower and the Servicer shall not deposit or otherwise credit, and shall not permit any other Person to deposit or otherwise credit to such new depositary account any cash or payment item other than Collections.

(c) The Servicer shall administer the Collections in accordance with the procedures described herein and in Article II. The Servicer shall set aside and hold in trust for the account of Borrower and the Lenders their respective shares of the Collections in accordance with Article II. The Servicer shall, upon the request of any Agent, segregate, in a manner acceptable to the Agents, all cash, checks and other instruments received by it from time to time constituting Collections from the general funds of the Servicer or Borrower prior to the remittance thereof in accordance with Article II. If the Servicer shall be required to segregate Collections pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Servicer shall segregate and deposit with a bank designated by the Administrative Agent such allocable share of Collections of Receivables set aside for the Lenders on the first Business Day following receipt by the Servicer of such Collections, duly endorsed or with duly executed instruments of transfer.

(d) The Servicer may, in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy, extend the maturity of any Receivable or adjust the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable as the Servicer determines to be appropriate to maximize Collections thereof; provided, however, that such extension or adjustment shall not alter the status of such Receivable as a Delinquent Receivable or Defaulted Receivable or limit the rights of the Agents or the Lenders under this Agreement except to the extent payment is received thereon from the Originator pursuant to the Receivables Sale Agreement.

(e) If demanded by the Administrative Agent following an Amortization Event, the Servicer shall deliver or make available to the Administrative Agent all such Collection Records or duplicates thereof, at a place selected by the Administrative Agent, provided that such Collection Records will be available for use by the Borrower, the Performance Guarantor and their Affiliates for reasonable use in their respective businesses. The Servicer shall, as soon as practicable following receipt thereof, turn over to Borrower any cash collections or other cash proceeds received not constituting Receivables. The Servicer shall, from time to time at the request of any Lender, furnish to the Lenders (promptly after any such request) a calculation of the amounts set aside for the Lenders pursuant to Article II.

(f) Any payment by an Obligor in respect of any indebtedness owed by it to Originator or Borrower shall, except as otherwise specified by such Obligor or otherwise required by contract or law and unless otherwise instructed by the Co-Agent, be applied as a Collection of any Receivable of such Obligor (starting with the oldest such Receivable) to the extent of any amounts then due and payable thereunder before being applied to any other receivable or other obligation of such Obligor.

Section 8.3 Collection Notices

. The Administrative Agent and, if applicable, the TPFC Agent are each authorized at any time after the occurrence of an Amortization Event to date and to deliver to the Collection Banks the Collection Notices.

6. Performance Guarantor wishes to guaranty the due and punctual performance of the above-described obligations, as provided herein.

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, Performance Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:

Section 1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein shall the respective meanings assigned thereto in the Credit and Security Agreement. In addition:

"Agreements" means the Sale Agreement and the Credit and Security Agreement.

"Servicing Agreement" has the meaning provided in the Credit and Security Agreement.

"Guaranteed Obligations" means, collectively, (a) all covenants, agreements terms, conditions and indemnities to be performed and observed by the Originators solely in their capacity as "Originators" under the Sale Agreement, including, without limitation, in each of the foregoing cases, the due and punctual payment of all sums which are or may become due and owing by any such Originator in its capacity as a seller under the Sale Agreement, whether for fees, expenses (including actual and reasonable counsel fees), indemnified amounts or otherwise, whether upon any termination or for any other reason, (b) all obligations of each of Mohawk Carpet and Mohawk Resources to repay any Demand Advance owing by it, and (c) all obligations of Mohawk Servicing as Servicer under the Credit and Security Agreement and the Servicing Agreement or which arise pursuant to Sections 8.2, 8.3 or 14.4(a) of the Credit and Security Agreement as a result of its termination as Servicer.

Section 2. Guaranty of Performance of Guaranteed Obligations. Performance Guarantor hereby guarantees to Recipient, the full and punctual payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations incurred prior to the earlier of (i) the time such Servicing Agreement is terminated or (ii) the time Mohawk Servicing or an Affiliate thereof is no longer the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement. This Undertaking is an absolute, unconditional and continuing guaranty of the full and punctual performance of all Guaranteed Obligations of Mohawk Servicing and is in no way conditioned upon any requirement that Recipient first attempt to collect any amounts owing by Mohawk Servicing to Recipient, the Agents or the Lenders from any other Person or resort to any collateral security, any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of Recipient, the Agents or any Lender in favor of Mohawk Servicing or any other Person or other means of obtaining payment. Should Mohawk Servicing default in the performance of any of its Guaranteed Obligations, Recipient (or its assigns) may cause the immediate performance by Performance Guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations and cause any payment Guaranteed Obligations to become forthwith due and payable to Recipient, without demand or notice of any nature (other than as expressly provided herein or in any other Transaction Document), all of which are hereby expressly waived by Performance Guarantor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Undertaking is not a guarantee of the collection of any of the Receivables and Performance Guarantor shall not be responsible for any Guaranteed Obligations to the extent the failure results from Receivables being uncollectible on account of the insolvency, bankruptcy or lack of creditworthiness of the related Obligor.

Section 3. Performance Guarantor's Further Agreements to Pay. Performance Guarantor further agrees, as the principal obligor and not as a guarantor only, to pay to Recipient (and its assigns), forthwith upon demand in funds immediately available to Recipient, all reasonable costs and expenses (including court costs and reasonable legal expenses) actually incurred or expended by Recipient in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations, this Undertaking and the enforcement thereof, together with interest on amounts recoverable under this Undertaking from the time when such amounts become due until payment, at a rate of interest (computed for the actual number of days elapsed based on a 360 day year) equal to the Prime Rate plus 2% per annum, such rate of interest changing when and as the Prime Rate changes.

Section 4. Waivers by Performance Guarantor. Performance Guarantor waives notice of acceptance of this Undertaking, notice of any action taken or omitted by Recipient (or its assigns) in reliance on this Undertaking, and any requirement that Recipient (or its assigns) be diligent or prompt in making demands under this Undertaking, giving notice of any Termination Event, Amortization Event, other default or omission by Mohawk Servicing or asserting any other rights of Recipient under this Undertaking. Performance Guarantor warrants that it has adequate means to obtain from Mohawk Servicing, on a continuing basis, information concerning the financial condition of Mohawk Servicing, and that it is not relying on Recipient to provide such information, now or in the future. Performance Guarantor also irrevocably waives all defenses (i) that at any time may be available in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations by virtue of any statute of limitations, valuation, stay, moratorium law or other similar law now or hereafter in effect or (ii) that arise under the law of suretyship, including impairment of collateral. Recipient (and its assigns) shall be at liberty, without giving notice to or obtaining the assent of Performance Guarantor and without relieving Performance Guarantor of any liability under this Undertaking, to deal with Mohawk Servicing and with each other party who now is or becomes liable in any manner for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, in such manner as Recipient in its sole discretion deems fit, and to this end, Performance Guarantor agrees that the validity and enforceability of this Undertaking, including without limitation, the provisions of Section 7 hereof, shall not be impaired or affected by any of the following: (a) any extension, modification or renewal of, or indulgence with respect to, or substitutions for, the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof or any agreement relating thereto at any time; (b) any failure or omission to enforce any right, power or remedy with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof or any agreement relating thereto; (c) any waiver of any right, power or remedy or of any Termination Event, Amortization Event, or default with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof or any agreement relating thereto; (d) the enforceability or validity of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof or the genuineness, enforceability or validity of any agreement relating thereto or with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof; (e) the existence of any claim, setoff or other rights which Performance Guarantor may have at any time against Mohawk Servicing in connection herewith or any unrelated transaction; or (f) any failure on the part of Mohawk Servicing to perform or comply with any term of the Guaranteed Obligations whether or not Performance Guarantor shall have had notice or knowledge of any act or omission referred to in the foregoing clauses (a) through (f) of this Section 4.

Section 5. Unenforceability of Guaranteed Obligations Against Mohawk Servicing. Notwithstanding (a) any change of ownership of Mohawk Servicing or the insolvency, bankruptcy or any other change in the legal status of Mohawk Servicing; (b) the change in or the imposition of any law, decree, regulation or other governmental act which does or might impair, delay or in any way affect the validity, enforceability or the payment when due of the Guaranteed Obligations; (c) the failure of Mohawk Servicing or Performance Guarantor to maintain in full force, validity or effect or to obtain or renew when required all governmental and other approvals, licenses or consents required in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations or this Undertaking, or to take any other action required in connection with the performance of all obligations pursuant to the Guaranteed Obligations or this Undertaking; or (d) if any of the moneys included in the Guaranteed Obligations have become irrecoverable from Mohawk Servicing for any other reason other than final payment in full of the payment Guaranteed Obligations in accordance with their terms, this Undertaking shall nevertheless be binding on Performance Guarantor. This Undertaking shall be in addition to any other guaranty or other security for the Guaranteed Obligations, and it shall not be rendered unenforceable by the invalidity of any such other guaranty or security. In the event that acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Mohawk Servicing or for any other reason with respect to Mohawk Servicing, all such amounts then due and owing with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations under the terms of the Agreements, or any other agreement evidencing, securing or otherwise executed in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations, shall be immediately due and payable by Performance Guarantor.

Section 6. Representations and Warranties. Performance Guarantor hereby represents and warrants to Recipient that:

(a) Existence and Standing. Performance Guarantor is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its state of incorporation. Performance Guarantor is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation, and has and holds all corporate power and all governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals required to carry on its business in each jurisdiction in which its business is conducted except where the failure to so qualify or so hold could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Authorization, Execution and Delivery; Binding Effect. The execution and delivery by Performance Guarantor of this Undertaking, and the performance of its obligations hereunder, are within its corporate powers and authority and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on its part. This Undertaking has been duly executed and delivered by Performance Guarantor. This Undertaking constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Performance Guarantor enforceable against Performance Guarantor in accordance with its respective terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws relating to or limiting creditors' rights generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).

(c) No Conflict; Government Consent. The execution and delivery by Performance Guarantor of this Undertaking, and the performance of its obligations hereunder do not contravene or violate (i) its certificate or articles of incorporation or by-laws, (ii) any law, rule or regulation applicable to it, (iii) any restrictions under any agreement, contract or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of its property is bound, or (iv) any order, writ, judgment, award, injunction or decree binding on or affecting it or its property, and do not result in the creation or imposition of any Adverse Claim on assets of Performance Guarantor (except as created hereunder) except, in any case, where such contravention or violation could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(d) Financial Statements. The consolidated financial statements of Performance Guarantor and its consolidated Subsidiaries dated as of December 31, 2001 and December 31, 2002 heretofore delivered to Recipient have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied and fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of Performance Guarantor and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of such dates and for the periods ended on such dates. Since the later of (i) December 31, 2002 and (ii) the last time this representation was made or deemed made, no event has occurred which would or is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 7. Subrogation; Subordination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, until the Guaranteed Obligations are paid in full Performance Guarantor: (a) will not enforce or otherwise exercise any right of subrogation to any of the rights of Recipient, the Agent, or any Lender against Mohawk Servicing and (b) will not claim any setoff, recoupment or counterclaim against Mohawk Servicing in respect of any liability of Performance Guarantor to Mohawk Servicing. The payment of any amounts due with respect to any indebtedness of Mohawk Servicing now or hereafter owed to Performance Guarantor is hereby subordinated to the prior payment in full of all of the Guaranteed Obligations. Performance Guarantor agrees that, after the occurrence of any default in the payment or performance of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, Performance Guarantor will not demand, xxx for or otherwise attempt to collect any such indebtedness of Mohawk Servicing to Performance Guarantor until all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid and performed in full. If, notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, Performance Guarantor shall collect, enforce or receive any amounts in respect of such indebtedness while any Obligations are still unperformed or outstanding, such amounts shall be collected, enforced and received by Performance Guarantor as trustee for Recipient (and its assigns) and be paid over to Recipient (or its assigns) on account of the Guaranteed Obligations without affecting in any manner the liability of Performance Guarantor under the other provisions of this Undertaking. The provisions of this Section 7 shall be supplemental to and not in derogation of any rights and remedies of Recipient under any separate subordination agreement which Recipient may at any time and from time to time enter into with Performance Guarantor.

Section 8. Termination of Performance Undertaking. Performance Guarantor's obligations hereunder shall continue in full force and effect until the earlier to occur of (i) the time such Servicing Agreement is terminated, or (ii) the time Mohawk Servicing is no longer the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement and the Credit and Security Agreement, except as to the Guaranteed Obligations incurred prior to such date which remain unsatisfied. No invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability by reason of the federal bankruptcy code or any insolvency or other similar law, or any law or order of any government or agency thereof purporting to reduce, amend or otherwise affect the Guaranteed Obligations shall impair, affect, be a defense to or claim against the obligations of Performance Guarantor under this Undertaking.

Section 9. Effect of Bankruptcy. Subject to Sections 2 and 8 hereof, this Performance Undertaking shall survive the insolvency of Mohawk Servicing and the commencement of any case or proceeding by or against Mohawk Servicing under the federal bankruptcy code or other federal, state or other applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization statutes. No automatic stay under the federal bankruptcy code with respect to Mohawk Servicing or other federal, state or other applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization statutes to which Mohawk Servicing is subject shall postpone the obligations of Performance Guarantor under this Undertaking.

Section 10. Taxes. All payments to be made by Performance Guarantor hereunder shall be made free and clear of any deduction or withholding. If Performance Guarantor is required by law to make any deduction or withholding on account of tax or otherwise from any such payment, the sum due from it in respect of such payment shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of such deduction or withholding, Recipient receive a net sum equal to the sum which they would have received had no deduction or withholding been made.

Section 11. Further Assurances. Performance Guarantor agrees that it will from time to time, at the request of Recipient (or its assigns), provide information relating to the business and affairs of Performance Guarantor as Recipient may reasonably request.

Section 12. Successors and Assigns. This Undertaking shall be binding upon Performance Guarantor, its successors and permitted assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Recipient and its successors and permitted assigns. Neither party may assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each of Recipient and each Agent; provided, however, that Performance Guarantor hereby acknowledges and consents to Recipient's grant of a security interest in this Undertaking to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lenders.

Section 13. Amendments and Waivers. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Undertaking nor consent to any departure by Performance Guarantor therefrom shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Recipient, the Agents and Performance Guarantor. No failure on the part of Recipient to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.

Section 14. Notices. All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be made in writing and shall be addressed as follows: if to Performance Guarantor, at the address set forth beneath its signature hereto, and if to Recipient, at the addresses set forth beneath its signature hereto, or at such other addresses as each of Performance Guarantor or any Recipient may designate in writing to the other. Any notice by any party to the other must include a copy to the Administrative Agent at the address specified in the Credit and Security Agreement. Each such notice or other communication shall be effective (1) if given by telecopy, upon the receipt thereof, (2) if given by mail, three (3) Business Days after the time such communication is deposited in the mail with first class postage prepaid or (3) if given by any other means, when received at the address specified in this Section 14.

Section 15. GOVERNING LAW. THIS UNDERTAKING SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS (AND NOT THE LAW OF CONFLICTS) OF THE STATE OF GEORGIA.

Section 16. CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. EACH OF PERFORMANCE GUARANTOR AND RECIPIENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY UNITED STATES FEDERAL OR GEORGIA STATE COURT SITTING IN XXXXXX COUNTY, GEORGIA IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS UNDERTAKING, THE AGREEMENTS OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT EXECUTED IN CONNECTION THEREWITH OR DELIVERED THEREUNDER AND EACH OF THE PERFORMANCE GUARANTOR AND RECIPIENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN ANY SUCH COURT AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE AS TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT OR THAT SUCH COURT IS AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.

Section 18. Bankruptcy Petition. Performance Guarantor hereby covenants and agrees that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding senior Indebtedness of Recipient, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, Recipient any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings or other similar proceeding under the laws of the United States or any state of the United States.

Section 19. Miscellaneous. This Undertaking constitutes the entire agreement of Performance Guarantor with respect to the matters set forth herein. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law or any other agreement, and this Undertaking shall be in addition to any other guaranty of or collateral security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations. The provisions of this Undertaking are severable, and in any action or proceeding involving any state corporate law, or any state or federal bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of Performance Guarantor hereunder would otherwise be held or determined to be avoidable, invalid or unenforceable on account of the amount of Performance Guarantor's liability under this Undertaking, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Undertaking to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by Performance Guarantor or Recipient, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable as determined in such action or proceeding. Any provisions of this Undertaking which are prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Unless otherwise specified, references herein to "Section" shall mean a reference to sections of this Undertaking.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Performance Guarantor has caused this Undertaking to be executed and delivered as of the date first above written.
