ARTICLE II

AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF THE PURCHASES

Section 2.01. Commitment.

(a) On the terms and conditions herein set forth, each Purchaser severally agrees to make the initial Purchase, and to make Capital Increases from time to time, (i) after the Effective Date on any Business Day during the period from the Effective Date to the Termination Date and (ii) in an aggregate amount of Capital for such Purchaser not to exceed at any time outstanding such Purchaser’s Commitment; provided, however, that no Purchaser shall be obligated to make the initial Purchase or any Capital Increase if, after giving effect to such Purchase or such Capital Increase, (A) the sum of the Capital then outstanding would exceed (B) the lesser of (x) the Total Commitment and (y)(i) the Net Receivables Pool Balance minus (ii) the Applicable Reserve. The initial Purchase and each Capital Increase shall be made by the Purchasers simultaneously and ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments.

(b) On the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the Agent on behalf of the Owners shall, at the request of the Seller, have the Collections attributable to any reduction of Capital reinvested pursuant to Section 2.07 in additional Purchased Property.

Section 2.02. Making the Purchase and Capital Increases.

(a) The initial Purchase and each Capital Increase by the Purchasers shall be made on notice from the Seller to the Agent, given not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) (i) on the third Business Day before the date of such Purchase or Capital Increase if Yield in respect thereof is initially calculated at the Citicorp LIBO Rate and (ii) on the Business Day before the date of such Purchase or Capital Increase if Yield in respect thereof is initially calculated at the Citicorp Base Rate. Each such notice of a proposed Purchase or Capital Increase (a “Notice of Purchase”) shall be by telephone (confirmed promptly thereafter in writing) or facsimile, in substantially the form of Exhibit F hereto, and shall specify the requested aggregate amount of Capital for such Purchase or Capital Increase to be paid

to the Seller and the requested Business Day of such Purchase or Capital Increase. If Yield in respect of the initial Purchase or any Capital Increase is initially calculated at the Citicorp LIBO Rate, such Purchase or Capital Increase shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and if Yield in respect of the initial Purchase or any Capital Increase is initially calculated at the Citicorp Base Rate, such Purchase or Capital Increase shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.

(b) The Agent shall give each Purchaser prompt notice of such notice of such proposed Purchase or Capital Increase, the date of such Purchase or Capital Increase, and the amount of Capital to be paid by such Purchaser in connection with such Purchase or Capital Increase, by telephone or telefax. On the date of such Purchase or Capital Increase, each Purchaser shall, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, make available to the Agent its ratable share of the aggregate amount of Capital in respect of such Purchase or Capital Increase by deposit of such ratable share in same day funds to the Agent’s Account, and, after receipt by the Agent of such funds, the Agent shall cause such funds to be made immediately available to the Seller at the Seller’s Account.

(c) Each Notice of Purchase delivered pursuant to Section 2.02(a) shall be irrevocable and binding on the Seller. The Seller shall indemnify each Purchaser against any actual loss or expense incurred by such Purchaser as a result of any failure to fulfill on or before the date of the proposed initial Purchase or Capital Increase (as to which a Notice of Purchase has been given pursuant to Section 2.02(a)) the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, including, without limitation, any actual loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Purchaser to fund its ratable portion of such proposed Purchase or Capital Increase when such Purchase or Capital Increase, as a result of such failure, is not made on such date.

(d) Unless the Agent shall have received notice from a Purchaser prior to the date of such Purchase or Capital Increase that such Purchaser will not make available to the Agent such Purchaser’s ratable portion of the Capital for such Purchase or Capital Increase, the Agent may assume that such Purchaser has made such portion available to the Agent on the date of such Purchase or Capital Increase in accordance with Section 2.02(b), and the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Seller on such date a corresponding amount. However, if the Agent has received such notice from such Purchaser, the Agent may not make such assumption and may not make available to the Seller on such date such corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Purchaser (other than a Purchaser that has delivered to the Agent a notice of the type described in the two immediately preceding sentences) shall not have made such ratable portion available to the Agent and the Agent has made such ratable portion available to the Seller, such Purchaser and the Seller severally agree to pay (to the extent not repaid by the Seller or such Purchaser, respectively) to the Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Seller until the date such amount is repaid to the Agent, at (i) in the case of the Seller, the Yield applicable to such amount and (ii) in the case of such Purchaser, the Federal Funds Rate. If such Purchaser shall repay to the Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Purchaser’s ratable portion of such Purchase or Capital Increase for purposes of this Agreement.

(e) The failure of any Purchaser to make available such Purchaser’s ratable portion of any Purchase or Capital Increase shall not relieve any other Purchaser of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make available such other Purchaser’s ratable portion of such Purchase or Capital Increase on the date of such Purchase or Capital Increase, but no Purchaser shall be responsible for the failure of any other Purchaser to make available such other Purchaser’s ratable portion of such Purchase or Capital Increase on the date of any Purchase or Capital Increase. Nothing herein shall prejudice any rights that the Seller may have against any Purchaser as a result of any default by such Purchaser hereunder.

(f) Effective upon the date of the initial Purchase, the date of each reinvestment under Section 2.07, the date on which any reinvestment would have been made but for a requested reduction of Capital under Section 2.05 and the date of each Capital Increase, the Seller hereby Transfers to the Agent on behalf of the Purchasers (to the extent not then already Transferred to and held by the Agent on behalf of the Purchasers prior to any such effective date) (i) each Receivable then existing, (ii) all Related Security with respect to such Receivables, and (iii) all Collections with respect to, and other proceeds of, such Receivables and Related Security. The interest of each Owner at any time in the Purchased Property shall be its ratable share thereof, based on its Capital Investment at such time as compared to the Capital Investments of all Owners at such time.

(g) The aggregate purchase price for all of the Purchased Property is the aggregate of the amounts payable to the Seller on account of Capital under Sections 2.01, 2.02 or 2.03, the amounts payable to the Seller as reinvestments in Purchased Property and amounts payable to the Seller or applied to discharge amounts owed by the Seller pursuant to Sections 2.07(a)(i)(C) or (v) or 2.08(i), (ii), (iii), (v) or (vi).

Section 2.03. Swing Increases

(a) On the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Agreement, the Swing Purchaser may, in its sole discretion, make, in U.S. Dollars, Capital Increases (each a “Swing Increase”) otherwise committed to the Seller hereunder from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the date hereof until the Termination Date in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding (together with the aggregate outstanding principal amount of any other Capital Increase made by the Swing Purchaser hereunder in its capacity as the Swing Purchaser) not to exceed the Swing Increase Sublimit; provided, however, that at no time shall the Swing Purchaser make any Swing Increase to the extent that, after giving effect to such Swing Increase, (A) the sum of the Capital then outstanding, would exceed (B) the lesser of (x) the Total Commitment and (y)(i) the Net Receivables Pool Balance minus (ii) the Applicable Reserve.

(b) In order to request a Swing Increase, the Seller shall telecopy (or forward by electronic mail or similar means) to the Agent a duly completed request in substantially the form of Exhibit G, setting forth the requested amount and date of such Swing Increase (a “Swing Increase Request”), to be received by the Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the day of the proposed purchase. The Agent shall promptly notify the Swing Purchaser of the details of the requested Swing Increase. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Swing Purchaser may make the Capital Investment in connection with such Swing Increase available to the Agent and, in turn, the Agent shall make such amounts available to the Seller on the date of the relevant Swing Increase Request. The Swing Purchaser shall not make any Swing Increase in the period commencing on the first Business Day after it receives written notice from the Agent or any Purchaser that one or more of the conditions precedent contained in Section 3.02 shall not on such date be satisfied, and ending when such conditions are satisfied. The Swing Purchaser shall not otherwise be required to determine that, or take notice whether, the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.02 have been satisfied in connection with the making of any Swing Increase. Each Swing Increase shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than $100,000.

(c) The Swing Purchaser shall notify the Agent in writing (which writing may be a telecopy or electronic mail) weekly, by no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the first Business Day of each week, of the aggregate principal amount of its Capital Investment in connection with Swing Increases.

(d) The Swing Purchaser may demand at any time that each Purchaser pay to the Agent, for the account of the Swing Purchaser, in the manner provided in clause (e) below, such Purchaser’s ratable portion of all or a portion of the Swing Purchaser’s Capital outstanding in connection with Swing Increases, which demand shall be made through the Agent, shall be in writing and shall specify the outstanding principal amount of the Capital demanded to be so reduced.

(e) The Agent shall forward each notice referred to in clause (c) above and each demand referred to in clause (d) above to each Purchaser on the day such notice or such demand is received by the Agent (except that any such notice or demand received by the Agent after 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on any Business Day or any such demand received on a day that is not a Business Day shall not be required to be forwarded to the Purchasers by the Agent until the next succeeding Business Day), together with a statement prepared by the Agent specifying the amount of each Purchaser’s ratable portion of the aggregate principal amount of the Capital in connection with Swing Increases stated to be outstanding in such notice or demanded to be paid pursuant to such demand, and, notwithstanding whether or not the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.02 and 2.01 shall have been satisfied (which conditions precedent the Purchasers hereby irrevocably waive), each Purchaser shall, before 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day next succeeding the date of such Purchaser’s receipt of such notice or demand, make available to the Agent, in immediately available funds, for the account of the Swing Purchaser, the amount specified in such statement; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, no Purchaser shall be obligated to purchase a ratable portion of, or otherwise pay any sum in respect of, a Swing Increase if the purchase by such Purchaser of a ratable portion of, or payment of other sum in respect of, such Swing Increase would cause such Purchaser’s aggregate Capital Investment to exceed its Commitment. Upon such purchase by a Purchaser, such Purchaser shall, except as provided in clause (f), be deemed to have made a Capital Increase with a Capital Investment equal to the amount actually paid by such Purchaser. The Agent shall use such funds to reduce the Swing Purchaser’s Capital in respect of Swing Increases.

(f) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Termination under Section 7.01(f), each Purchaser shall acquire, without recourse or warranty, an undivided participation in each Swing Increase otherwise required to be repaid by such Purchaser pursuant to clause (e) above, which participation shall be in a principal amount equal to such Purchaser’s ratable portion of such Swing Increase, by paying to the Swing Purchaser on the date on which such Purchaser would otherwise have been required to make a payment in respect of such Swing Increase pursuant to clause (e) above, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to such Purchaser’s ratable portion of such Swing Increase. If all or part of such amount is not in fact made available by such Purchaser to the Swing Purchaser on such date, the Swing Purchaser shall be entitled to recover any such unpaid amount on demand from such Purchaser together with interest accrued from such date at the Federal Funds Rate for the first Business Day after such payment was due and thereafter at the Citicorp Base Rate.

(g) From and after the date on which any Purchaser (i) is deemed to have made a Capital Increase pursuant to clause (e) above with respect to any Swing Increase or (ii) purchases an undivided participation interest in a Swing Increase pursuant to clause (f) above, the Swing Purchaser shall promptly distribute to such Purchaser such Purchaser’s share of all payments of Capital of and Yield received by the Swing Purchaser on account of such Swing Increase other than those received from a Purchaser pursuant to clause (e) or (f) above.

Section 2.04. [Deleted]

Section 2.05. Termination or Reduction of the Commitments.

The Seller may, upon at least 5 Business Days’ notice to the Agent, and so long as, after giving effect to a proposed reduction, no Event of Termination or Potential Event of Termination, including, without limitation, by reference to Section 5.07(b), would exist, terminate in whole or reduce in part, the unused portions of the Commitments of the Purchasers; provided, however, that for purposes of this Section 2.05, the unused portions of the Commitments of the Purchasers shall be computed as the excess of (i) the aggregate of the Commitments of the Purchasers immediately prior to giving effect to such termination or reduction over (ii) the aggregate Capital outstanding at the time of such computation; provided, further, that each such partial reduction of the unused portions of the Commitments (i) shall be in an amount equal to at least $5,000,000 and shall be an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (ii) shall be made ratably among the Purchasers in accordance with their respective Commitments and (iii) shall reduce the Total Commitment in an amount equal to each such reduction.

Section 2.06. Receivable Percentage.

The Receivable Percentage shall be initially computed as of the opening of business of the Servicer on the date of the initial Purchase and the date of each Capital Increase. Thereafter until the Termination Date, the Receivable Percentage shall be automatically recomputed as of the close of business of the Servicer on each day (other than a Liquidation Day). The Receivable Percentage shall remain constant from the time as of which any such computation or recomputation is made until the time as of which the next such recomputation, if any, shall be made. The Receivable Percentage, as computed as of the day immediately preceding the Termination Date, shall remain constant at all times on and after the Termination Date. Such Receivable Percentage shall become zero at such time as the Owners shall have irrevocably received the accrued Yield for their Capital, shall have irrevocably recovered the related Capital Investment, and shall have irrevocably received payment of all other amounts payable by the Seller to the Owners, and the Servicer shall have received the accrued Servicer Fee, if any.

Section 2.07. Non-Liquidation Settlement Procedures.

(a) On each day (other than a Liquidation Day) the Agent shall, out of Collections of Pool Receivables received on such day:

(i) first, set aside and hold in trust for the Servicer and the Owners an amount in U.S. Dollars equal to the sum of (A) the Servicer Fee, if any, accrued through such day and not so previously set aside, (B) the aggregate Yield, the Unused Commitment Fee, the Agent’s Fee and any other fees accrued hereunder through such day and not so previously set aside, and (C) the aggregate of any other amounts then accrued or owed hereunder by the Seller to such Owners and not so previously set aside;

(ii) second, distribute an amount in U.S. Dollars equal to the aggregate Capital Investments made in respect of Swing Increases to the Swing Purchaser, to be applied to reduce the Capital of such Swing Increases;

(iii) third, if such day is the second Business Day of the week, distribute to the Owners an amount in U.S. Dollars equal to that amount, if any, which would be required to reduce Capital so that the Receivable Percentage would not, after giving effect to the Collections of Pool Receivables and the addition of new Pool Receivables on such day and the resulting

recomputation of the Receivable Percentage pursuant to Section 2.06 as of the end of such day, exceed 100%;

(iv) fourth, set aside the remainder of such Collections in an amount not greater than the aggregate Capital then outstanding, for the benefit, on a pari passu basis, of the Owners; and

(v) fifth, to the extent of any further remaining Collections and subject to Sections 2.10(f) and 11.09(b) , return the remainder of such Collections to the Seller.

(b) On each applicable Yield Payment Date, the Agent shall distribute the amounts set aside as described in clause (i) of Section 2.07(a) above (other than the Agent’s Fee), first, to the Servicer in payment of the accrued Servicer Fee, if any, payable, to the Owners in payment of the accrued Yield and the Unused Commitment Fees, pari passu, and second, in payment of any other amounts then owed by the Seller hereunder (including, without limitation, all fees payable hereunder and not paid above except for the Servicer Fee). On each day, the Agent shall distribute the amounts set aside as described in clause (iv) of Section 2.07(a) above to the Seller as reinvestment in Purchased Property, for the benefit of the Owners.

(c) On each anniversary of the Effective Date, the Agent shall distribute the amounts set aside as described in clause (i) of Section 2.07(a) with respect to the Agent’s Fee to the Agent in payment of the Agent’s Fee for the twelve-month period then commencing.

(d) In the case of Collections of Canadian Dollar Receivables, the Agent shall convert such Collections to U.S. Dollars in accordance with Agent’s normal practices and procedures and all distributions set forth in clauses (a) and (b) above will be in U.S. Dollars.

(e) Any application of Collections to amounts owing by the Seller is without limitation to the obligation of the Seller to pay such amounts and made pursuant to the rights of the Agent and the Owners under Sections 2.10(f) and 11.09(b).

Section 2.08. Liquidation Settlement Procedures.

(a) On each Liquidation Day, the Agent shall, out of the Collections of Pool Receivables received on such day, deposit to the Agent’s Account the Collections of Pool Receivables received on such day and shall apply them as follows:

(i) first, to pay obligations of the Seller to the Agent under any Transaction Document in respect of any expense reimbursements, Cash Management Obligations or indemnities then due to the Agent;

(ii) second, to pay obligations of the Seller to the Owners under any Transaction Document in respect of any expense reimbursements or indemnities then due to such Persons;

(iii) third, to the Servicer in payment of the accrued Servicer Fee, if any, then payable, to the Owners in payment of the accrued Yield, Unused Commitment Fees and the aggregate of any other amounts then accrued or owed hereunder by the Seller to such Owners;

(iv) fourth, to the Owners in reduction (to zero) of the Capital of each Owner;

(v) fifth, to the Owners in ratable payment of any other amounts owed by the Seller hereunder or under any Transaction Document (including, without limitation, all fees payable hereunder and not paid above except for the Servicer Fee); and

(vi) sixth, subject to Sections 2.10(f) and 11.09(b), to the Seller;

provided, however, that if sufficient funds are not available to fund all payments to be made in respect of any obligation described in any of clauses first, second, third, fourth and fifth above, the available funds being applied with respect to any such obligations (unless otherwise specified in such clause) shall be allocated to the payment of the obligations referred to in such clause ratably, based on the proportion of the Servicer’s, the Agent’s, or the Owners’ interest in the aggregate outstanding obligations described in such clause.

(b) In the case of Collections of Canadian Dollar Receivables, the Agent shall convert such Collections to U.S. Dollars in accordance with Agent’s normal practices and procedures and all payments set forth in clause (a) above will be in U.S. Dollars.

(c) Any application of the Collections to amounts owing by the Seller is without limitation to the obligation of the Seller to pay such amounts and made pursuant to the rights of the Agent and the Owners under Sections 2.10(f) and 11.09(b).

Section 2.09. General Settlement Procedures.

(a) If on any day the Outstanding Balance of a Pool Receivable is either (i) reduced as a result of any defective, rejected or returned goods or services, any discount, or any adjustment by the Seller or the Canadian Originator, or (ii) reduced or cancelled as a result of a setoff in respect of any claim by the Obligor thereof against the Seller or the Canadian Originator (whether such claim arises out of the same or a related transaction or an unrelated transaction), the Seller shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection of such Receivable in the amount of such reduction or cancellation and shall make the payment required to be made by it in connection with such Collection on the day required by, and otherwise pursuant to, Section 5.01(g). If on any day any of the representations or warranties in Section 4.01(h) is no longer true with respect to any Pool Receivable, the Seller shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection in full of such Pool Receivable and shall make the payment required to be made by it in connection with such Collection on the day required by, and otherwise pursuant to, Section 5.01(g). Except as stated in the preceding sentences of this Section 2.09(a) or as otherwise required by law or the underlying Contract, all Collections received from an Obligor of any Receivable shall be applied to Receivables then outstanding of such Obligor in the order of the age of such Receivables, starting with the oldest such Receivable, except if payment is designated by such Obligor for application to specific Receivables. If at any time any Obligor is required to pay interest or finance charges in connection with any Receivable or the related Contract, then all payments made by such Obligor in connection with such Receivable shall, unless otherwise expressly provided for in the applicable Contract, be applied on account of the Outstanding Balance of such Receivable and not on account of such interest or finance charges, until such time as the Outstanding Balance thereof has been fully repaid.

(b) On or prior to the tenth Business Day of each calendar month, the Servicer shall prepare and furnish to the Agent for each Owner:

(i) a Seller Report relating to each Owner and the Capital Investment thereof, as of the close of business of the Servicer on the last day of the immediately preceding calendar month,

(ii) a listing of the ten Obligors owing the greatest Dollar Equivalent amount of Pool Receivables, together with a report setting forth (A) the name of such Obligor, (B) the balance of the Pool Receivables owing by such Obligor as of such date, and (C) a summary of credit terms applicable to such Pool Receivables under the applicable Contract,

(iii) a listing by Obligor of all Pool Receivables, together with an analysis as to the aging of such Receivables, as of such last day, and

(iv) such other information as shall be reasonably requested from time to time by the Agent or by the Agent at the request of the Required Purchasers.

(c) Within 10 days after the end of each calendar month (or more frequently if (x) requested by the Agent or (y) Total Excess Availability shall be less than $50,000,000, but, in the case of clauses (x) and (y), in no event more frequently than once each Business Day) by no later than 12:00 noon (New York City time), the Servicer shall prepare and furnish to the Agent for the Owners a Receivables Report relating to each Owner and the Capital Investment thereof as at the end of the last calendar day of the immediately preceding month (or such shorter period, not earlier than the immediately preceding Business Day, if requested by Agent) stating (i) the aggregate amount of the Net Receivables Pool Balance as of the end of the immediately preceding reporting period, in such detail as shall be satisfactory to the Agent, (ii) the aggregate amount of the Collections from the Pool Receivables received by or on behalf of the Servicer as of the end of the immediately preceding reporting period, in such detail as shall be satisfactory to the Agent, (iii) the aggregate of sales and xxxxxxxx of the Canadian Originator as of the end of the immediately preceding reporting period, and (iv) such other information as shall be specified from time to time by the Agent or by the Agent at the request of the Required Purchasers.

(d) The Servicer shall promptly notify the Agent in writing in the event that at any time the Servicer receives or otherwise gains knowledge that any of the following is true: (i) the Net Receivables Pool Balance is less than 90% of the Net Receivables Pool Balance reflected in the most recent Receivables Report delivered pursuant to Section 2.09(c) above, or (ii) the Net Receivables Pool Balance is less than 105% of the Required Net Receivables Pool Balance, or (iii) the outstanding Capital exceeds the Net Receivables Pool Balance as a result of a decrease therein, in which case such notice shall also include the amount of such excess.

Section 2.10. Payments and Computations, Etc.

(a) All amounts to be paid or deposited by the Seller or the Servicer hereunder shall be paid or deposited in accordance with the terms hereof no later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the day when due in U.S. Dollars in same day funds to the Agent’s Account. The Agent shall promptly thereafter cause to be distributed (i) like funds relating to the payment out of Collections in respect of Capital, Yield, Servicer Fee or other amounts payable out of Collections, to the Owners (ratably in accordance with their respective interests) and the Servicer in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.07 or 2.08, as applicable, and (ii) like funds relating to the payment by the Seller of fees and other amounts payable by the Seller hereunder, to the parties hereto for whose benefit such funds were paid (and if such funds are insufficient, such distribution shall be made, subject to Section 2.07 or 2.08, as applicable, ratably in accordance with the respective amounts thereof). Upon the Agent’s acceptance of an Assignment and Acceptance and recording of the information contained therein in the Register pursuant to Section 9.01(c), from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance, the Agent shall make all payments hereunder in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the Assignee thereunder, and the parties to such Assignment and Acceptance shall make all appropriate adjustments in such payments for periods prior to such effective date directly between themselves.

(b) The Seller shall, to the extent permitted by law, pay to the Agent interest on all amounts not paid or deposited when due hereunder (except for those amounts with respect to which Yield accrues) at 2.00% per annum above the Alternate Base Rate in effect from time to time, payable on demand, provided, however, that such interest rate shall not at any time exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. Such interest shall be for the account of, and distributed by the Agent to, the applicable Owners ratably in accordance with their respective interests in such overdue amount.

(c) All computations of interest and all computations of Yield, Unused Commitment Fee and other per annum fees 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. For purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), where in this Agreement a rate of interest is to be calculated on the basis of a period of less than one year, the yearly rate of interest to which the said rate is equivalent is the said rate divided by the actual number of days in the period for which such calculation is made and multiplied by 365 days (or 366 days in the case of a leap year).

(d) The Seller hereby authorizes each Owner, if and to the extent payment owed by the Seller to such Owner is not made to the Agent when due hereunder, to charge from time to time against any or all of the Seller’s accounts with such Owner any amount so due.

(e) Unless the Agent shall have received notice from the Servicer or the Seller prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Owners hereunder that the Servicer or the Seller, as the case may be, will not make such payment in full, the Agent may assume that the Servicer or the Seller, as the case may be, has made such payment in full to the Agent on such date and the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Owner on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Owner. If and to the extent the Servicer or the Seller, as the case may be, shall not have so made such payment in full to the Agent, each Owner shall repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Owner together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Owner until the date such Owner repays such amount to the Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate.

(f) The Seller hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives and relinquishes to the fullest extent it may legally do so any right of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense and other right or claim which the Seller may have against the Agent or any Owner as a result of or arising out of the failure of the Agent or any Owner to pay any amount owing hereunder or in connection herewith. The Agent may set-off and apply against, or deduct from, any amount payable to the Seller or the Servicer by the Agent (or by the Servicer on its behalf), any amounts then due and owing by the Seller or Servicer hereunder to any Owner or to the Agent or any other Indemnified Party, and may instruct any Servicer to do so on its behalf out of any amounts then or thereafter held by such Servicer that otherwise would have been paid to a Seller or Servicer on behalf of an Owner or the Agent.

Section 2.11. Yield and Fees.

(a) All Capital Investments and the outstanding amount of all other obligations hereunder shall bear a Yield, in the case of Capital Investments, on the principal amount thereof from the date such Capital Investments are made and, in the case of such other obligations, from the date such other obligations are due and payable until, in all cases, paid in full, at the Citicorp Rate.

(b) The Seller shall pay to the Agent such fees as are set forth in the Second Amended and Restated Fee Letter.

(c) The Seller shall pay to the Agent for remittance to the Servicer (at any time that it is not PolyOne or an Affiliate of PolyOne) from the later of the date of the initial Purchase hereunder and the date on which such Person becomes Servicer hereunder until the later of the Termination Date or the date on which Capital is reduced to zero, a fee (the “Servicer Fee”) equal to the lesser of (i) 1% per annum on the average daily amount of Capital, and (ii) 120% of the costs and expenses referred to in Section 6.02(c), such fee payable in arrears on the Yield Payment Date for each Yield Period; provided, however, that, so long as the Servicer is PolyOne or an Affiliate of PolyOne, the Servicer shall not be paid any Servicer Fee hereunder, it being acknowledged and agreed by PolyOne that any amounts owing to PolyOne or any such Affiliate in consideration for such services shall be the responsibility of and paid by the Canadian Originator. Any Servicer Fee shall be payable only from Collections pursuant to, and subject to the priority of payment set forth in, Sections 2.07 and 2.08.

(d) The Seller shall pay to the Agent for the account of each Purchaser, an unused commitment fee (an “Unused Commitment Fee”) equal to the product of (i) the Unused Commitment Fee Rate and (ii) the average daily Unused Commitment of such Purchaser. The Unused Commitment Fee will be payable monthly in arrears and on the Termination Date.

Section 2.12. Special Provisions Governing Capital Investments at the Citicorp LIBO Rate.

(a) Increased Costs. If, due to either (i) a change after the date hereof in Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (to the extent any cost incurred pursuant to such regulation is not included in the calculation of Adjusted LIBO Rate), (ii) the introduction of or any change after the date hereof in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation (other than any law or regulation relating to taxes, as to which Section 2.14 shall govern) or (iii) the compliance with any guideline or request issued or made after the date hereof 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 (or, in the case of Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, there shall be imposed a cost on) any Indemnified Party of agreeing to make or making any Purchase or Capital Increase or any interest therein hereunder, then the Seller shall from time to time, upon demand and delivery to the Seller of the certificate referred to in the last sentence of this Section 2.12(a) by such Indemnified Party (or by the Agent for the account of such Indemnified Party) (with a copy of such demand and certificate to the Agent), pay to the Agent for the account of such Indemnified Party additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Indemnified Party for such increased or imposed cost. Each Indemnified Party hereto agrees to use reasonable efforts promptly to notify the Seller of any event referred to in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the rights of any Indemnified Party under this Section 2.12(a). Each Indemnified Party agrees that it shall use reasonable efforts to designate another applicable office of such Indemnified Party to hold its interest in the Purchased Property if the amounts payable to it under this Section 2.12(a) would thereby be reduced and if the making, funding or maintenance of its interest in the Purchased Property through such other applicable office would not otherwise adversely affect such interest or such Indemnified Party. A certificate in reasonable detail as to the basis for and the amount of such increased cost, submitted to the Seller and the Agent by such Indemnified Party (or by the Agent for the account of such Indemnified Party) shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(b) Interest Rate Unascertainable, Inadequate or Unfair. In the event that (i) the Agent determines that adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rates by reference to which the Adjusted LIBO Rate then being determined is to be fixed or (ii) the Required Purchasers notify the Agent that the Adjusted LIBO Rate for any Yield Period will not adequately reflect the cost to the Purchasers of making a Capital Investment or maintaining such Capital Investment for such

Yield Period, the Agent shall forthwith so notify the Seller and the Purchasers, whereupon the Citicorp Rate for such Capital Investment shall automatically, on the last day of the current Yield Period for such Capital Investment, convert into the Citicorp Base Rate and the obligations of the Purchasers to make a Capital Investment or maintain a Capital Investment at the Citicorp LIBO Rate shall be suspended until the Agent shall notify the Seller that the Required Purchasers have determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.

(c) Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Purchaser determines that the introduction of, or any change in or in the interpretation of, any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order after the date of this Agreement shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Purchaser to make a Capital Investment or maintain a Capital Investment at the Citicorp LIBO Rate, then, on notice thereof and demand therefor by such Purchaser to the Seller through the Agent, (i) the obligation of such Purchaser to make a Capital Investment or maintain a Capital Investment at the Citicorp LIBO Rate shall be suspended, and each such Purchaser shall make Capital Investments at the Citicorp Base Rate and (ii) if the affected Capital Investments at the Citicorp LIBO Rate are then outstanding, the Seller shall immediately convert each such Capital Investment into a Capital Investment at the Citicorp Base Rate. If, at any time after a Purchaser gives notice under this Section 2.12(c), such Purchaser determines that it may lawfully make Capital Investments at the Citicorp LIBO Rate, such Purchaser shall promptly give notice of that determination to the Seller and the Agent, and the Agent shall promptly transmit the notice to each other Purchaser. The Seller’s right to request, and such Purchaser’s obligation, if any, to make Capital Investments at the Citicorp LIBO Rate shall thereupon be restored.

(d) Liquidation Costs. In addition to all amounts required to be paid by the Seller hereunder, the Seller shall compensate each Purchaser, upon demand, for all losses, expenses and liabilities (including any loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Purchaser to fund or maintain such Purchaser’s Capital Investments at the Citicorp LIBO Rate but excluding any loss of the Applicable Margin on the relevant Capital Investments) (each, a “Liquidation Cost”) that such Purchaser may sustain (i) if for any reason a proposed Capital Investment, conversion into or continuation of Capital Investments at the Citicorp LIBO Rate does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Purchase given by the Seller or in a telephonic request by it for Purchase or a successive Yield Period does not commence after notice therefor is given hereunder, (ii) if for any reason any Capital Investment at the Citicorp LIBO Rate is reduced (including mandatorily pursuant to Section 2.07) on a date that is not the last day of the applicable Yield Period, (iii) as a consequence of a required conversion of a Capital Investment at the Citicorp LIBO Rate to Capital Investment at the Citicorp Base Rate as a result of any of the events indicated in Section 2.12(c) above or (iv) as a consequence of any failure by the Seller to reduce Capital Investment at the Citicorp LIBO Rate when required by the terms hereof. The Purchaser making demand for such compensation shall deliver to the Seller concurrently with such demand a written statement as to such losses, expenses and liabilities, and this statement shall be conclusive as to the amount of compensation due to such Purchaser, absent manifest error.

Section 2.13. Increased Capital.

If any Indemnified Party determines that either the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation after the date hereof or the compliance with any guideline or request issued or made after the date hereof 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 Indemnified Party or any corporation controlling such Indemnified Party and that the amount of such capital is increased by or based upon the existence of such Indemnified Party’s

commitment, if any, to make Capital Investments, or to maintain such Capital Investments hereunder, then, upon demand and delivery to the Seller of the certificate referred to in the last sentence of this Section 2.13 by such Indemnified Party (or by the Agent for the account of such Indemnified Party) (with a copy of such demand and certificate to the Agent) the Seller shall pay to the Agent for the account of such Indemnified Party from time to time, as specified by such Indemnified Party, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Indemnified Party or such corporation in the light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Indemnified Party reasonably determines such increase in capital to be allocable to the existence of any such commitment. Each Indemnified Party hereto agrees to use reasonable efforts promptly to notify the Seller of any event referred to in the first sentence of this Section 2.13, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the rights of any Indemnified Party under this Section 2.13. A certificate in reasonable detail as to the basis for, and the amount of, such compensation submitted to the Seller and the Agent by such Indemnified Party (or by the Agent for the account of such Indemnified Party) shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

Section 2.14. Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by the Seller hereunder or deposits from Collections hereunder shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.10, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of each Indemnified Party, (i) taxes that are imposed on its overall net income by the United States and (ii) taxes that are imposed on its overall net income, assets or net worth (and franchise taxes imposed in lieu thereof) by the state or foreign jurisdiction under the laws of which such Indemnified Party is organized or qualified to do business or in which such Indemnified Person holds any assets in connection with this Agreement or, in each case, any political subdivision thereof (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities in respect of payments hereunder or deposits from Collections hereunder being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If the Seller or the Servicer or the Agent or any Obligor shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or deposit from Collections hereunder to any Indemnified Party, (i) the sum payable by Seller shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.14) such Indemnified Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Seller or the Servicer or the Agent shall make such deductions and (iii) the Seller or the Servicer or the Agent shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) In addition, the Seller shall pay any present or future sales, stamp, documentary, excise, property or similar taxes, charges or levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or deposit from Collections hereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of, performing under, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement, the Canadian Receivables Sale Agreement, the Canadian Consent and Agreement or the Second Amended and Restated Fee Letter (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(c) The Seller shall indemnify each Indemnified Party for and hold it harmless against the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including, without limitation, taxes of any kind imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.14) imposed on or paid by such Indemnified Party and any liability (including penalties, additions to tax, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such Indemnified Party makes written demand therefor (with a copy to the Agent).

(d) Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes, the Seller shall furnish to the Agent and each applicable Purchaser, at its address referred to in Section 11.02, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment.

Section 2.15. Sharing of Payments, Etc.

If any Purchaser shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off or otherwise) on account of the Purchases made by it (other than with respect to payments due to such Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.12, 2.13 or 2.14) in excess of its ratable share of payments on account of the Purchases obtained by all the Purchasers, such Purchaser shall forthwith purchase from the other Purchasers such interests in the Capital Investments made by them as shall be necessary to cause such Purchaser to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such Purchaser, such purchase from each other Purchaser shall be rescinded and such other Purchaser shall repay to the Purchaser the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such other Purchaser’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such other Purchaser’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the Purchaser) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the Purchaser in respect of the total amount so recovered. The Seller agrees that any Purchaser so purchasing an interest in the Capital Investments made by another Purchaser pursuant to this Section 2.15 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such interest in such Capital Investments as fully as if such Purchaser were the direct creditor of the Seller in the amount of such Capital Investments made by them.

Section 2.16. Conversion/Continuation Option.

(a) The Seller may elect (i) at any time on any Business Day, to convert Capital Investments in respect of which Yield is calculated at the Citicorp Base Rate (other than Swing Increases) or any portion thereof to Capital Investments in respect of which Yield is calculated at the Citicorp LIBO Rate and (ii) at the end of any applicable Yield Period, to convert Capital Investments in respect of which Yield is calculated at the Citicorp LIBO Rate or any portion thereof into Capital Investments in respect of which Yield is calculated at the Citicorp Base Rate or to continue such Capital Investments in respect of which Yield is calculated at the Citicorp LIBO Rate or any portion thereof for an additional Yield Period; provided, however, that the aggregate amount of the Capital Investments in respect of which Yield is calculated at the Citicorp LIBO Rate for each Yield Period must be in an amount of at least $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $2,500,000 in excess thereof. Each conversion or continuation shall be allocated among the Capital Investments of each Purchaser in accordance with such Purchaser’s ratable share of the aggregate Capital Investments. Each such election shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit I (a “Notice of Conversion or Continuation”) and shall be made by giving the Agent at least 3 Business Days’ prior written notice specifying (A) the amount and type of Capital Investment being converted or continued, (B) in the case of a conversion to or a continuation of Capital Investments in respect of which Yield is calculated at the Citicorp LIBO Rate, the applicable Yield Period and (C) in the case of a conversion, the date of such conversion.

(b) The Agent shall promptly notify each Purchaser of its receipt of a Notice of Conversion or Continuation and of the options selected therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no conversion in whole or in part of Capital Investments in respect of which Yield is calculated at the Citicorp Base Rate to

Capital Investments in respect of which Yield is calculated at the Citicorp LIBO Rate and no continuation in whole or in part of Capital Investments in respect of which Yield is calculated at the Citicorp LIBO Rate upon the expiration of any applicable Yield Period shall be permitted at any time at which (i) a Potential Event of Termination or an Event of Termination shall have occurred and be continuing or (ii) the continuation of, or conversion into, a Capital Investment in respect of which Yield is calculated at the Citicorp LIBO Rate would violate any provision of Section 2.12. If, within the time period required under the terms of this Section 2.16, the Agent does not receive a Notice of Conversion or Continuation from the Seller containing a permitted election to continue any Capital Investments in respect of which Yield is calculated at the Citicorp LIBO Rate for an additional Yield Period or to convert any such Capital Investments, then, upon the expiration of the applicable Yield Period, such Capital Investments shall be automatically converted to Capital Investments in respect of which Yield is calculated at the Citicorp Base Rate. Each Notice of Conversion or Continuation shall be irrevocable.

ARTICLE VI

ADMINISTRATION AND COLLECTION

Section 6.01. Designation of Servicer.

The Pool Receivables shall be serviced, administered and collected by the Person (the “Servicer”) designated to do so from time to time in accordance with this Section 6.01. Until the Agent designates a new Servicer, PolyOne is hereby designated as, and hereby agrees to perform the duties and obligations of, the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof. The Agent may at any time designate as Servicer any Person (including itself) to succeed PolyOne or any successor Servicer, if such Person (other than itself) shall agree in writing to perform the duties and obligations of the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof. Subject to Section 6.02(f), the Servicer may subcontract with the Canadian Originator as an independent contractor to service, administer or collect the Pool Receivables that the Canadian Originator creates, and may, with the prior consent of the Agent, subcontract with any other Person as an independent contractor to service, administer or collect the Pool Receivables, provided that the Canadian Originator or other Person with whom the Servicer so subcontracts shall not become the Servicer hereunder and the Servicer shall remain liable for the performance of the duties and obligations of the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof.

Section 6.02. Duties of Servicer.

(a) The Servicer shall take or cause to be taken all such commercially reasonable actions as may be necessary or advisable to collect each Pool Receivable from time to time, all in accordance with applicable laws, rules and regulations, with reasonable care and diligence, and in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy. Each of the Seller, the Purchasers and the Agent hereby appoints as its agent the Servicer, from time to time designated pursuant to Section 6.01, to enforce its respective rights and interests in and under the Pool Receivables, the Related Security and the related Contracts.

(b) The Servicer shall set aside and hold in trust for the account of the Seller and each Owner their respective allocable shares of the Collections of Pool Receivables in accordance with Sections 2.07 and 2.08, but shall not be required (unless otherwise requested by the Agent) to segregate the funds constituting such portion of such Collections prior to the remittance thereof in accordance with such Sections. If instructed by the Agent, the Servicer shall segregate and deposit with a bank (which may be Citicorp) designated by the Agent such allocable share of Collections of Pool Receivables set aside for each Owner on the first Business Day following receipt by the Servicer of such Collections. If no Event of Termination or Potential Event of Termination shall have occurred and be continuing, PolyOne, while it is the Servicer, may, in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy, (i) extend the maturity or adjust the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable (that is not an Eligible Receivable) as PolyOne may determine to be appropriate to maximize Collections thereof, (ii) extend the term of any Contract and (iii) adjust any other terms and conditions of any Contract if, but only if (in the case of this clause (iii)), the Servicer gives at least 2 Business Days’ prior written notice of such adjustments to the Agent and the Agent agrees in writing to such adjustments.

(c) The Servicer shall administer the Collections in accordance with the procedures described herein and in Section 2.09. The Servicer shall set aside and hold in trust for the account of the Seller in accordance with Section 6.02(b) above, (i) the Seller’s allocable share of the Collections of Pool Receivables less all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Servicer (if not PolyOne or any Affiliate thereof) of servicing, administering and collecting the Pool Receivables to the extent not covered by the Servicer Fee received by it and (ii) the Collections of any Receivable which is not a Pool Receivable in accordance with Section 2.09. The Servicer shall, if not PolyOne, as soon as practicable following receipt, turn over to the Seller any cash collections or other cash proceeds received with respect to Receivables not constituting Pool Receivables.

(d) The Servicer shall hold in trust for the Seller and each Owner, in accordance with their respective interests, all Records that evidence or relate to the Pool Receivables. The Servicer shall, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Termination, and at the request of the Agent, provide to the Agent the Records with respect to the Pool Receivables.

(e) The Servicer shall, from time to time at the request of the Agent, furnish to the Agent (promptly after any such request) a calculation of the amounts set aside for each Owner pursuant to Section 2.07 or 2.08.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, the Servicer may not delegate to PolyOne Canada the right to, and PolyOne Canada shall not (and has no authority to) enter into contracts or other agreements in the name of the Seller, the Agent, any Owner or any Purchaser or otherwise act as agent therefor; and the Servicer (or any such delegatee) is not permitted to (and has no authority to) establish an office or other fixed place of business of the Seller, the Agent, any Owner or any Purchaser in Canada. To the extent any responsibilities of the Servicer or PolyOne Canada in respect of the Receivables and Related Security hereunder or under any other

Transaction Document involve or require the Servicer or PolyOne Canada to contract for, or conclude a contract in the name of, the Seller, the Agent, any Owner or any Purchaser, such servicing responsibility shall be fulfilled solely by the Servicer (and not by PolyOne Canada) and the Servicer is authorized to take such action, but only from a place of business in the United States. Nonetheless, PolyOne Canada may engage in discussions with any Obligor regarding such matters and negotiate the terms of any such arrangement subject to the understanding that final approval of any such arrangement referred to in the preceding portions of this Section 6.02(f) may only be made by the Servicer and any such arrangement so negotiated by PolyOne Canada shall not be binding until such final approval is so provided by the Servicer

Section 6.03. Rights of the Agent.

(a) The Seller and the Servicer each hereby Transfer to the Agent the exclusive ownership, dominion and control of the Lock-Box Accounts to which the Obligors of Pool Receivables shall make payments, and shall take any further action that the Agent may reasonably request to effect such Transfer. Further, the Agent may notify at any time and at the Seller’s expense the Obligors of Pool Receivables, or any of them, of the ownership of the Purchased Property by the Owners.

(b) At any time:

(i) The Agent may direct the Obligors of Pool Receivables, or any of them, to make payment of all amounts due or to become due to the Seller under any Pool Receivable directly to the Agent or its designee.

(ii) The Seller and the Servicer each shall, at the Agent’s request and at the Seller’s and the Servicer’s expense, give notice of such ownership to such Obligors and direct them to make such payments directly to the Agent or its designee.

(iii) The Seller and the Servicer each shall, at the Agent’s request, (A) assemble all of the Records which evidence or relate to the Pool Receivables, and the related Contracts and Related Security, or which are otherwise necessary or desirable to collect the Pool Receivables, and shall make the same available to the Agent at a place reasonably selected by the Agent or its designee, and (B) segregate all cash, checks and other instruments received by it from time to time constituting Collections or other proceeds of Pool Receivables in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Agent and shall, promptly upon receipt, remit all such cash, checks and instruments, duly endorsed or with duly executed instruments of Transfer, to the Agent or its designee.

(iv) The Agent may take any and all commercially reasonable steps in the Seller’s or the Servicer’s name and on behalf of the Seller and the Owners necessary or desirable, in the determination of the Agent, to collect all amounts due under any and all Pool Receivables, including, without limitation, endorsing the Seller’s or the Servicer’s name on checks and other instruments representing Collections or other proceeds of Pool Receivables, enforcing such Pool Receivables and the related Contracts, and adjusting, settling or compromising the amount or payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as the Seller or PolyOne might have done.

Section 6.04. Responsibilities of the Seller.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding:

(a) The Seller shall perform all of its obligations under the Contracts related to the Pool Receivables to the same extent as if the Purchased Property had not been sold hereunder and the exercise by the Agent of its rights hereunder shall not release the Seller from such obligations or its obligations with respect to Pool Receivables or under the related Contracts; and

(b) Neither the Agent nor the Owners shall have any obligation or liability with respect to any Pool Receivables or related Contracts, nor shall any of them be obligated to perform any of the obligations of the Seller or the Canadian Originator thereunder.

Section 6.05. Further Action Evidencing Purchases.

(a) The Seller and the Servicer each agrees that from time to time, at its expense, it will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be necessary, or that the Agent may reasonably request, in order to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the ownership of the Purchased Property purchased by the Owners hereunder, or to enable any of them or the Agent to exercise and enforce any of their respective rights and remedies hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Seller and the Servicer each will upon the request of the Agent, in order to perfect, protect or evidence such ownership of the Purchased Property: (i) 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 as the Agent may reasonably request; (ii) xxxx conspicuously each invoice evidencing each Pool Receivable and the related Contract with a legend, acceptable to the Agent, evidencing that the Purchased Property has been sold in accordance with this Agreement; and (iii) xxxx its master data processing records evidencing such Pool Receivables and related Contracts with such legend.

(b) The Seller hereby authorizes the Agent to file one or more financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto and assignments thereof, relating to all or any of the Contracts, or Pool Receivables and the Related Security and Collections with respect thereto, now existing or hereafter arising, without the signature of the Seller where permitted by law. A photocopy or other reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement covering all or any of the Contracts, or Pool Receivables and the Related Security and Collections with respect thereto shall be sufficient as a financing statement where permitted by law.

(c) If the Servicer or the Seller fails to perform any agreement contained herein, then after notice to the Servicer or the Seller, as applicable, the Agent may itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the reasonable costs and expenses of the Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the Seller under Section 10.01 or Section 11.04, as applicable.

(a) Each Purchaser may assign to any Eligible Assignee all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment, the Capital Investments made by it and the related rights in the Purchased Property); provided, however, that (i) each such assignment shall be a constant, and not a varying, percentage of such Purchaser’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Capital Investments made by it, (ii) in the case of any assignment by any Purchaser that is not assigning pursuant thereto all of its right and obligations under this Agreement, (A) the amount of the Commitment (determined as of the date of the applicable Assignment and Acceptance) being assigned pursuant to each such assignment shall be at least $5,000,000, or (B) the aggregate amount of all Commitments (determined as of the date of the applicable Assignments and Acceptances) being assigned by such Purchaser on such date to two or more Eligible Assignees that are Affiliates of each other shall be at least $5,000,000, (iii) each such assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee, (iv) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recording fee of $3,500 and (v) the consent of the Agent and the Seller (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and shall not be required at all following an Event of Termination) shall first have been obtained. Upon such execution, delivery and acceptance, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, which effective date shall be the later of (x) the date the Agent receives the executed Assignment and Acceptance and (y) the date of such Assignment and Acceptance, (1) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Purchaser hereunder and (2) the assigning Purchaser shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such assignment and acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement.

(b) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Purchaser and the Assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Purchaser makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto, or the perfection, priority or value of any ownership interest or security interest created or purported to be created hereunder or under the Canadian Receivables Sale Agreement; (ii) the assigning Purchaser makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of the Seller or the Canadian Originator or the performance or observance by the Seller or the Canadian Originator of any of their respective obligations under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such Assignee confirms that it has received copies of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, together with such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such Assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, any of its Affiliates, the assigning Purchaser or any other Purchaser and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the other instruments and documents

furnished pursuant hereto; (v) such Assignee confirms that it is an Eligible Assignee; (vi) such Assignee appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the other instruments and documents furnished pursuant hereto as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto; (vii) such Assignee appoints as its agent the Servicer from time to time designated pursuant to Section 6.01 to enforce its respective rights and interests in and under the Pool Receivables and the Related Security and Collections with respect thereto and the related Contracts; and (viii) such Assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Purchaser.

(c) The Agent shall maintain at its office referred to in Section 11.02 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Purchasers and the Commitment of, and each Capital Investments made by, each Purchaser from time to time, which Register shall be available for inspection by the Seller at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Seller, the Servicer, the Purchasers and the Agent may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Purchaser hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. No Capital Investments, nor any Assignment and Acceptance, shall be effective unless it is entered in the Register in due course.

(d) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by any assigning Purchaser and an assignee representing that it is an Eligible Assignee, the Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed and is in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register, and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Seller and the Servicer.

(e) Each Purchaser may sell participations to one or more Persons in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under the Transaction Documents (including all its rights and obligations with respect to Capital Investment). The terms of such participation shall not, in any event, require the participant’s consent to any amendments, waivers or other modifications of any provision of any Transaction Documents, the consent to any departure by the Seller, the Servicer or the Canadian Originator therefrom, or to the exercising or refraining from exercising any powers or rights such Purchaser may have under or in respect of the Transaction Documents (including the right to enforce the obligations of the Seller, the Servicer or the Canadian Originator), except if any such amendment, waiver or other modification or consent would reduce the amount, or postpone any date fixed for, any amount (whether of Capital, Yield or fees) payable to such participant under the Transaction Documents, to which such participant would otherwise be entitled under such participation. In the event of the sale of any participation by any Purchaser, (w) such Purchaser’s obligations under the Transaction Documents shall remain unchanged, (x) such Purchaser shall remain solely responsible to the other parties for the performance of such obligations, (y) such Purchaser shall remain the holder of such Capital for all purposes of this Agreement and (z) the Seller, the Agent and the other Purchasers shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Purchaser in connection with such Purchaser’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12(a), 2.13 and 2.14 as if it were a Purchaser; provided, however, that anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Seller shall not, at any time, be obligated to make under Section 2.12(a), 2.13 or 2.14 to the participants in the rights and obligations of any Purchaser (together with such Purchaser) any payment in excess of the amount the Seller would have been obligated to pay to such Purchaser in respect of such interest had such participation not been sold.

(vi) any dispute, claim, offset or defense (other than discharge in bankruptcy of the Obligor) of any Obligor to the payment of any Receivable in, or purported to be in, the Receivables Pool (including, without limitation, any defense based on the fact or allegation that such Receivable or the related Contract is not a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Obligor enforceable against it in accordance with its terms), or any other claim resulting from the sale of the goods or services related to such Receivable or the furnishing or failure to furnish such goods or services;

(xiii) the existence of any Adverse Claim against or with respect to any Pool Receivable, the related Contract or the Related Security or Collections with respect thereto;

(xiv) any failure by the Seller to pay when due any taxes, including without limitation sales, excise, GST, PST or other personal property taxes, payable by the Seller in connection with any Receivable or the related Contract or any Related Security with respect thereto;

(b) The obligations of the Seller in respect of any sum due to any party hereto (or their respective assigns) or any holder of the obligations owing hereunder (the “Applicable Creditor”) shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than the currency in which such sum is stated to be due hereunder (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by the Applicable Creditor of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Applicable Creditor may in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency; if the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Applicable Creditor in the Agreement Currency, the Seller agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Applicable Creditor against such loss.

ARTICLE XI

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 11.01. Amendments, Etc.

No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by the Seller or the Servicer therefrom, shall be effective unless in a writing signed by the Agent and the Required Purchasers and, in the case of any such amendment, the Seller and the Servicer, and then such amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that no amendment, waiver or consent shall:

(a) without the prior written consent of each Purchaser,

(i) amend the definitions of “Eligible Receivable”, “Net Receivables Pool Balance”, “Required Net Receivables Pool Balance”, “Reserve Percentage”, “Required Purchasers” or “Super-Majority Purchasers”, or

(ii) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Agreement in any way which would

(A) reduce the amount of a Capital Investment or Yield that is payable on account of any Capital Investment or delay any scheduled date for payment thereof or change the order of application of Collections to the payment thereof, or

(B) impair any rights expressly granted to such Purchaser or such Owner under this Agreement, or

(C) reduce fees payable by the Seller to or for the account of such Purchaser hereunder or delay the dates on which such fees are payable, or

(iii) amend or waive the Event of Termination contained in Section 7.01(f) relating to the bankruptcy of the Seller, the Servicer, or the Canadian Originator, or amend or waive the Event of Termination contained in Section 7.01(g) relating to the Net Receivables Pool Balance, or

(iv) change the percentage of Commitments, or the number of Owners or Purchasers, which shall be required for the Purchasers or any of them to take any action hereunder, or

(v) amend this Section 11.01, or

(vi) extend the Commitment Termination Date, or

(vii) increase the amount of the Total Commitment;

(b) without the consent of the applicable Purchaser, increase the Commitment of such Purchaser, subject such Purchaser to any additional obligations, or decrease the ownership interest of such Purchaser in the Purchased Property; and

(c) without the prior written consent of the Super-Majority Purchasers, amend Section 5.07(b) or the definition of “Total Excess Availability” or “Receivables Excess Availability”,

provided, however, that the Agent shall not, without the prior written consent of the Required Purchasers, either agree to any amendment or waiver of any provision of the Intercreditor Agreement or consent to any departure from the Intercreditor Agreement by any party thereto, and provided further, that (x) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Agent in addition to the Purchasers required above to take such action, affect the rights or duties of the Agent under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, and (y) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Swing Purchaser in addition to the Purchasers required above to take such action, affect the rights or duties of the Swing Purchaser under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents.

(d) If, in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, waiver or termination (a “Proposed Change”) requiring the consent of all affected Purchasers, the consent of Required Purchasers is obtained but the consent of other Purchasers whose consent is required is not obtained (any such Purchaser whose consent is not obtained as described in this being referred to as a “Non-Consenting Purchaser”), then, as long as the Purchaser acting as the Agent is not a Non-Consenting Purchaser, at the Seller’s request, any Eligible Assignee acceptable to the Agent shall have the right with the Agent’s consent and in the Agent’s sole discretion (but shall have no obligation) to purchase from such Non-Consenting Purchaser, and such Non-Consenting Purchaser agrees that it shall, upon the Agent’s request, sell and assign to the Purchaser acting as the Agent or such Eligible Assignee, all of the Commitments, Capital Investments and interests in the Purchased Property of such Non-Consenting Purchaser for an amount equal to the Capital Investment represented by the interest held by the Non-Consenting Purchaser and all accrued and unpaid Yield and fees with respect thereto through the date of sale; provided, however, that such purchase and sale shall not be effective until (x) the Agent shall have received from such Eligible Assignee an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent and the Seller whereby such Eligible Assignee shall agree to be bound by the terms hereof, (y) such Non-Consenting Purchaser shall have received payments of all interests held by it in the Purchased Property and all accrued and unpaid Yield and fees with respect thereto through the date of the sale and (z) such purchase and sale has been recorded in the Register maintained by the Agent. Each Purchaser agrees that, if it becomes a Non-Consenting Purchaser, it shall execute and deliver to the Agent an Assignment and Acceptance to evidence such sale and purchase subject to such Assignment and Acceptance; and provided, further, however, that the failure of any Non-Consenting Purchaser to execute an Assignment and Acceptance shall not render such sale and purchase (and the corresponding assignment) invalid.

(e) No failure on the part of any Purchaser or the Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. Without limiting the foregoing, each Purchaser is hereby authorized by the Seller upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Termination, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to setoff and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Purchaser to or for the credit or the account of the Seller against any and all of the obligations of the Seller now or hereafter existing under this Agreement to such Purchaser or, if such Purchaser is Citicorp, to the Agent or any Affiliate thereof, irrespective of whether or not any formal demand shall have been made under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. Each Purchaser agrees promptly to notify the Seller after any such setoff and application; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of each Purchaser under this Section 11.01 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of setoff) which such Purchaser may have.

Section 11.02. Notices, Etc.

All notices and other communications hereunder shall, unless otherwise stated herein, be given in writing or by any telecommunication device capable of creating a written record (including electronic mail), (i) to each of the Seller, the Servicer, the Agent and the Initial Purchasers, at its address set forth under its name on the signature pages hereof, (ii) to each Purchaser other than the Initial Purchasers, at its address specified on the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it became a Purchaser hereunder or (iii) to any party hereto at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a notice to the other parties hereto given as provided herein. All such notices and communications shall be effective when received.

Section 11.03. Binding Effect; Assignability.

This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Seller, PolyOne, the Agent, the Swing Purchaser and each Purchaser and their respective successors and assigns, except that neither the Seller nor PolyOne (other than in its capacity as Servicer hereunder) shall have the right to assign its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of all Purchasers. This Agreement shall create and constitute the continuing obligation of the parties hereto in accordance with its terms, and shall remain in full force and effect until such time, after the Termination Date, as no Capital Investment or any obligation of the Seller, PolyOne, the Canadian Originator or the Servicer under any Transaction Document shall be outstanding; provided, however, that rights and remedies with respect to the provisions of Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.14, 10.01, 11.04, 11.06, and 11.07 shall be continuing and shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

Section 11.04. Costs and Expenses.

The Seller agrees to pay, upon receipt of a written invoice, all costs and expenses in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery and administration (including periodic auditing of Receivables) of, and searches and filings in respect of, this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the other documents and agreements to be delivered hereunder and thereunder, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of (a) on a full indemnity basis, counsel for the Agent with respect thereto and advising the Agent as to its rights and remedies hereunder and (b) internal and external auditors. The Seller further agrees to pay on demand all costs and expenses, if any (including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements on a full indemnity basis), of each Owner, the Agent or any Affiliate thereof, in connection with the enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the other documents and agreements to be delivered in connection herewith or therewith. Each written invoice shall set forth the basis therefor in reasonable detail and shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error.

Section 11.05. Confidentiality.

(a) The Seller, the Servicer, PolyOne, the Purchasers and the Agent hereby agree that each of the Servicer, PolyOne, the Seller, the Purchasers and the Agent (and each of their respective, and their respective Affiliates, employees, officers, directors, agents and advisors) is, and has been from the commencement of discussions with respect to the receivables program established hereunder, permitted to disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the structure and tax aspects (as such terms are used in Code Sections 6011, 6111 and 6112 and the regulations promulgated thereunder) of the receivables program established hereunder, and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are or have been provided to the Servicer, PolyOne, the Seller, such Purchasers or the Agent related to such structure and tax aspects. In this regard, each of the Servicer, PolyOne, the Seller, the Purchasers and the Agent acknowledges and agrees that its disclosure of the structure or tax aspects of the receivables program established hereunder is not limited in any way by an express or implied understanding or agreement, oral or written (whether or not such understanding or agreement is legally binding). Furthermore, each of the Servicer, PolyOne, the Seller, the Purchasers and the Agent acknowledges and agrees that it does not know or have reason to know that its use or disclosure of information relating to the structure or tax aspects of the receivables program established hereunder is limited in any other manner (such as where the receivables program established hereunder is claimed to be proprietary or exclusive) for the benefit of any other Person. To the extent that disclosure of the structure or tax aspects of the receivables program established hereunder by the Servicer, PolyOne, the Seller, the Agent or the Purchasers is limited by any existing agreement between the Servicer, PolyOne, the Seller, the Agent or the Purchasers, such limitation is agreed to be void ab initio and such agreement

is hereby amended to permit disclosure of the structure and tax aspects of the receivables program established hereunder as provided in this clause (a).

(b) Subject to clause (a) of this Section 11.05, neither the Agent nor any Purchaser may disclose to any Person any confidential, proprietary or non-public information of the Canadian Originator or the Seller furnished to the Agent or the Purchasers by either the Canadian Originator or the Seller (such information being referred to collectively herein as the “Originator’s Information”), except that each of the Agent and each of the Purchasers may disclose the Canadian Originator’s Information (i) to its and its Affiliates’ employees, officers, directors, agents and advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of the Canadian Originator’s Information and instructed to keep the Canadian Originator’s Information confidential on substantially the same terms as provided herein), (ii) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, (iii) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (iv) to any other party to this Agreement, (v) if reasonably necessary in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Transaction Document or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (vi) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 11.05 to any assignee of or participant in, or any prospective assignee of or participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, (vii) to the extent the Canadian Originator’s Information (A) is or becomes generally available to the public on a non-confidential basis other than as a result of a breach of this Section 11.05 by the Agent or such Purchaser, or (B) is or becomes available to the Agent or such Purchaser on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Canadian Originator, the Servicer, PolyOne or the Seller, and (viii) with the prior written consent of the Servicer, PolyOne or the Seller.

(c) Subject to clause (a) of this Section 11.05, none of the Servicer, PolyOne or the Seller may disclose to any Person the amount or terms of any fees payable to the Agent or any Purchaser (such information being collectively referred to herein as the “Program Information”), except that the Servicer, PolyOne or the Seller may disclose the Program Information (i) to its and its respective Affiliates’ employees, officers, directors, agents and advisors who have a need to know the Program Information in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby or (ii) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process.

(b) In addition to any ownership interest which the Agent or any Owner may from time to time acquire pursuant hereto and without limiting the foregoing, the Seller hereby grants to the Agent for the benefit of itself and each such Owner a valid and perfected security interest in all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under any Pool Receivables and the Related Security and Collections in respect thereof and any cash collateral under this Agreement not sold hereunder, free and clear of Adverse Claims and to secure the prompt and complete payment of all amounts payable hereunder by the Seller (in any capacity hereunder), including fees and indemnity payments. After the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Termination, the Agent and the Owners shall have, in addition to the rights and remedies that they may have under this Agreement, all other rights and remedies provided to a secured creditor after default under the PPSA and other applicable law, which rights and remedies shall be cumulative.

Section 11.10. Entire Agreement.

This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents contain a final and complete integration of all prior expressions by the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall constitute the entire agreement and understanding among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, written or oral, relating to the subject matter hereof.

Section 11.11. Severability of Provisions.

Any provision of this Agreement which is 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 or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

(3) The Agent shall be entitled, as and to the extent agreed among the Buyer, the Owners and the Agent, to exercise any and all of the Buyer’s rights and remedies as the Buyer under the Canadian Receivables Sale Agreement, including, without limitation, the Buyer’s right to make requests, demands for payment and other demands, determinations and designations, to amend, supplement or modify, to give consents or waivers, and to deliver notices to the Seller, and to receive notices, requests, reports and other information to be delivered by the Seller, from time to time thereunder; and the Seller shall in all respects comply with and perform in respect of such exercise. Neither the Agent nor any Owner nor any Indemnified Party shall have any obligation or liability with respect to any of the Buyer’s obligations under the Canadian Receivables Sale Agreement in the absence of its gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(4) The Agent shall be authorized to file, at any time and from time to time, one or more financing statement amendments that assign the financing statements that are referred to in Section 2.01(c) of the Canadian Receivables Sale Agreement or that otherwise cover the Receivable Assets to the Agent.

In order to induce the Owners to purchase interests from time to time in Pool Receivables, by execution of this Agreement, the Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees:

Re:		POLYONE FUNDING CANADA CORPORATION - SALE OF RECEIVABLES TO BANK SYNDICATE

Dear Sirs:

We refer to a receivables sale agreement between PolyOne Canada Inc. (“PC I”) and PolyOne Funding Canada Corporation (PFCC”) dated as of • (the “RSA”), a receivable purchase agreement among PFCC as the Seller (“Seller, PolyOne Corporation, as Servicer, the banks and the financial institutions party thereto (the “Buyers”), Citicorp USA, Inc., as Agent and National City Business Credit, Inc., as Agent dated as of • (the “RPA”) and to an assignment of purchased assets dated as of • (the “Quebec Assignment”) between the Seller and the RPA Purchasers providing for the sale and transfer by the Seller to the RPA Purchasers of all of the property and assets described therein.

All capitalized terms used by not defined in this opinion have the meanings ascribed set forth in the RPA. This opinion is delivered pursuant to Section 3.01 • of the RPA.

We have acted as counsel for the Seller in the Province of Quebec in connection with the sale and transfer pursuant to the Quebec Assignment to the Buyers of the Purchased Property (the Quebec Purchased Property”).

We have considered such questions of law and have made such investigations and searches as we have considered necessary or desirable for the purpose of this opinion and, subject to the qualifications and assumptions set forth below, we are of the opinion that:

The form and content of the Quebec Assignment is sufficient to transfer to the Buyers all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Quebec Purchased Property.

We have conducted or caused to be conducted searches against the Seller and its assets under the names listed in Schedule A hereto in the register of personal and

		moveable real rights (the “RPMRR”) for the periods set out in Schedule A hereto. Such register is the only register in the Province of Quebec where transfers of, or security interests in, assets similar in nature to the Quebec Purchased Property would ordinarily or customarily be the subject of a registration to preserve, perfect, set up and protect such transfers or security interests. Such searches disclosed only those registrations against the Seller as disclosed in Schedule A hereto.

3.		Notice of the Quebec Assignment was duly registered as set forth in Schedule B hereto. No other registration, filing or recording is required now or in the future in any public office of record under the laws of the Province of Quebec in connection with the transfer to the Buyers of all of the Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under, and the rights of the Buyers to collect payments under any of, the Quebec Purchased Property, or to protect the Buyers’ interests as transferee of the Quebec Purchased Property, which interests are and will be effective as against all third persons, including creditors of the Seller and subsequent purchasers of the Quebec Purchased Property. Except for the formalities in respect of account debtors prescribed by article 1642 of the Civil Code of Quebec with respect to the Quebec Assignment, no notice or further action is necessary at this time under the laws of Quebec in connection with the sale of the Quebec Purchased Property by the Seller to the Buyers pursuant to the Quebec Assignment and the rights of the Buyers to collect payments under any of the Quebec Purchased Property.

4.		Other than the registration which has been made and which is described in paragraph 3, no recording filing or registration with, consent, authorization or approval of, or notice or other action to, with or by any governmental authority or regulatory body is or will be required in connection with the execution and delivery by the Seller of the Quebec Assignment and the performance of its obligations thereunder and the transfer of the Quebec Purchased Property under the Quebec Assignment does not require compliance with any bulk sales or similar legislation of the Province of Quebec.

5.		The execution and delivery by the Seller of the Quebec Assignment and the performance by the Seller of its obligations thereunder do not (i) violate, result in a breach of, or constitute a default under (a) any order, judgment or decree of any court, arbitrator or similar tribunal or governmental authority of which we are aware and which is binding upon the Seller or its property or assets; or (b) any statute, regulation or other law of the Province of Quebec applicable to the Seller or the Quebec Purchased Property; or (ii) result in the creation of a hypothec or similar security interest that secures the payment or performance of an obligation of the Seller.

6.		The Quebec Assignment constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Seller enforceable against it by the Buyer in accordance with its terms.

- 2 -

The opinions herein are subject to the following qualifications and assumptions:

	a)		We assume that none of the Quebec Purchased Property are secured by a moveable hypothec (which includes the reservation of title or ownership).

	b)		For the purposes of the opinion given in paragraph 5 (i), we have relied, as to the factual matters referred to therein, upon an officer’s certificate of the Seller dated the date hereof relating to orders, judgments or decrees binding on the Seller or its property or assets.

	c)		The opinions given in paragraphs 3 and 4 are subject to the qualification that subsequent purchasers of any part of the Quebec Purchased Property who purchases in good faith in the ordinary course of the vendor’s business may acquire a right to be reimbursed the price he has paid in priority to the Buyer’s interest therein.

	d)		The opinions given in paragraphs 3 and 4 as to the registrations and notices are subject to the qualifications that although the registration of the Quebec Assignment avails to give the Buyer opposable, available against third persons, of all of the debts owing to the Seller and sold to the Buyer under the Quebec Assignment, such registration does not so avail as against Obligors as regards the debts paid to the Seller or otherwise discharged or extinguished before the accomplishment of the other formalities prescribed by article 1642 of the Civil Code of Quebec.

	e)		The Civil Code of Quebec, and, where applicable, the Consumer Protection Act (Quebec) impose certain mandatory limitations upon the exercise by creditors of their rights upon default.

	f)		Article 1643 of the Civil Code of Quebec provides that a payment made in good faith by a debtor to an apparent creditor will be opposable to the Buyer.

	g)		The opinion given in paragraph 6 as to the enforceability of the RSA and the Quebec Assignment is subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and the possible unavailability of specific performance or injunctive relief.

The opinions expressed herein are limited to the laws of the Province of Quebec and federal laws of Canada applicable therein. Such opinions are provided only to the addressees and to assignees of any such addressees for their own purposes and may not be relied upon by anyone else except as may be authorized in writing by the undersigned.

Yours very truly,

CREDIT AND COLLECTION POLICY

Purpose and Scope

The Company conducts its operations through dedicated business units and organizational teams. The purpose of this policy is to establish the essential Company-wide requirements relating to the management of “credit” risk. The scope of this policy covers all receivables for each business unit.

Overall Policy

Unless otherwise approved, the Company will only extend credit as part of conducting normal business operations. Credit will be provided based on an assessment of an individual customer’s (or other third party’s) ability to pay within terms common (competitive) to the business market segment. Each business will manage its credit risk by (a) assessing the risk exposure of its credit portfolio and (b) assessing activities to realize prompt payment collection.

Responsibility and Authority

The Corporate Chief Financial Officer (CFO) is responsible for establishing policy guidelines consistent with PolyOne Corporation’s target capital structure. The guidelines will cover setting credit limits and exceptions thereto, for term extensions and credit worthiness, and determining the appropriate risk exposure of a business’ overall credit portfolio.

The CFO is responsible for this policy and revisions, which may be required from time to time. The CFO will approve any exceptions to this policy.

It is the responsibility of the business General Manager, delegating through the business management team (specifically including the business controller and credit manager), to develop and implement all business unit policies, guidelines and/or procedures necessary to effectively manage the business unit’s day-to-day credit risk and to adhere to this Company-wide policy. The business General Manager is delegated the authority to have credit authorized consistent with this policy.

Actions Requiring the Approval of the CFO

	•		Business programs, which in their aggregate extend overall credit levels beyond established risk exposure guidelines

	•		Expansion by more than 10% of previously approved programs

	•		Employee credit other than for relocation and/or nominal amounts not to exceed $500 outstanding per individual (should be discouraged)

	•		Any credit to Company Officers

Guidelines

The successful implementation of this policy is partially dependent on establishing specific control and reporting activities that each business unit’s operations are expected to incorporate. Below are specific activities which each business unit will perform in supporting the (a) assessment of its credit portfolio risk, (b) prompt collection of outstanding credit and (c) reporting to Corporate Services (CFO, Treasurer and Corporate Controller).

Assessing portfolio credit risk

	•		Assess the credit risk on an individual account basis

	•		New shipments will only be made within established guidelines

	•		Continuous and periodical assessments of the overall risk profile of the credit portfolio considering industry conditions credit terms/programs, specific account condition with appropriate actions implemented.

Prompt Payment

	•		Delinquent accounts will be contacted in a timely manner and communications of such delinquency will be made to business management and to the sales organization

	•		Customer accounts will be kept clean, i.e., credit and debit adjustments issued timely, cash applied to invoices, etc.

Reporting to Corporate Services

	•		In the monthly financial reporting package include key performance measures relating to receivable DSO, aging, dating, etc. The business unit DSO will be shown for domestic, foreign and total and calculated on a Company-wide basis

	•		Quarterly provide a brief communication on the business unit’s credit risk portfolio profile and highlight substantive changes

	•		Annually review any programs which extend credit beyond normal product sale terms

In addition to the above activities it is important that each business unit establish an environment consistent with managing its credit risk. Important areas to consider and which may impact such an environment include the following:

	•		Scope of account responsibility given to sales personnel

	•		Sales personnel basis of incentive compensation

	•		Customer incentives for prompt payment

	•		Level of communications between sales and credit personnel

	•		Use of performance measures and establishing goals

Also, it is the responsibility of each business unit to quickly communicate to other PolyOne business units, as appropriate, problem accounts or potential bad credit risks.
