This RECEIVABLES PURCHASE AGREEMENT (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, this “Agreement”) is entered into as of March 31, 2004, among KCI FUNDING CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation, as seller (the “Seller”), BEARINGPOINT, INC. (F/K/A KPMG CONSULTING, INC.), a Delaware corporation (“BPI”), as initial servicer (in such capacity, together with its successors and permitted assigns in such capacity, the “Servicer”), MARKET STREET FUNDING CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (“Market Street”), as a Conduit Purchaser and a Related Committed Purchaser, PNC BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association (“PNC”), as agent for Market Street Purchaser Group, THREE RIVERS FUNDING CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (“Three Rivers”), as a Conduit Purchaser and a Related Committed Purchaser, MELLON BANK, N.A., a national banking association (“Mellon”), as agent for Three Rivers Purchaser Group, and each of the other members of each Purchaser Group that become parties hereto by executing an Assumption Agreement or a Transfer Supplement, and PNC, as administrator for each Purchaser Group, a party hereto or that become parties (in such capacity, the “Administrator”).

PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS. Certain terms that are capitalized and used throughout this Agreement are defined in Exhibit I. References in the Exhibits hereto to the “Agreement” refer to this Agreement, as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time.

This Agreement amends and restates as of the Agreement Effective Date in its entirety that certain Receivables Purchase Agreement dated as of May 22, 2000 (the “Original Agreement”), among the Seller, the Servicer, Market Street and PNC, as Administrator. Upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, the terms and provisions of the Original Agreement shall, subject to this paragraph, be superseded hereby in their entirety. Notwithstanding the amendment and restatement of the Original Agreement by this Agreement, the Sellers and the Servicer shall continue to be liable to Market Street, the Administrator or any other Indemnified Party or Affected Person (as such terms are defined in the Original Agreement) with respect to all unpaid fees and expenses accrued to the date hereof and owing by them under the Original Agreement and all agreements thereunder to indemnify such parties in connection with events or conditions arising or existing prior to the Agreement Effective Date. Upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, each reference to the Original Agreement in any other document, instrument or agreement shall mean and be a reference to this Agreement.

The Seller desires to sell, transfer and assign an undivided variable percentage interest in a pool of receivables, and the Purchasers desire to acquire such undivided variable percentage interest, as such percentage interest shall be adjusted from time to time based upon, in part, reinvestment payments that are made by such Purchasers.

In consideration of the mutual agreements, provisions and covenants contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I.

AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF THE PURCHASES

Section 1.1. Purchase Facility. (a) On the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, the Seller may, from time to time before the Facility Termination Date, request that the Conduit

Purchasers, or, only if a Conduit Purchaser denies such request or is unable to fund (and provides notice of such denial or inability to the Seller, the Administrator and its Purchaser Agent (it being understood that such Conduit Purchaser shall be required to give such notice)), ratably request that the Related Committed Purchasers, make purchases of and reinvestments in undivided percentage ownership interests with regard to the Purchased Interest from the Seller from time to time from the date hereof to the Facility Termination Date. Subject to Section 1.4(b), concerning reinvestments, at no time will a Conduit Purchaser have any obligation to make a purchase. Each Related Committed Purchaser severally hereby agrees, on the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, to make purchases before the Facility Termination Date, based on the applicable Purchaser Group’s Ratable Share of each purchase requested pursuant to Section 1.2(a) (each a “Purchase”) (and, in the case of each Related Committed Purchaser, its Commitment Percentage of its Purchaser Group’s Ratable Share of such Purchase) to the extent its Capital would not thereby exceed its Commitment and the Aggregate Capital would not (after giving effect to all Purchases on such date) exceed the Purchase Limit.

(b) The Seller may, upon at least 60 days’ written notice to the Administrator and each Purchaser Agent, terminate the purchase facility provided for in this Section in whole or, upon at least 30 days’ written notice to the Administrator, from time to time, irrevocably reduce in part the unfunded portion of the Purchase Limit (but not below the amount which would cause the Group Capital of any Purchaser Group to exceed its Group Commitment (after giving effect to such reduction)); provided that each partial reduction shall be in the amount of at least $5,000,000, or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, and that, unless terminated in whole, the Purchase Limit shall in no event be reduced below $20,000,000. Such reduction shall at the option of the Seller be applied ratably to reduce the Group Commitment of each Purchaser Group.

Section 1.2. Making Purchases. (a) Each Purchase (but not reinvestment) of undivided percentage ownership interests with regard to the Purchased Interest hereunder shall be made upon the Seller’s irrevocable written notice in the form of Annex B delivered to the Administrator and each Purchaser Agent in accordance with Section 6.2 (which notice must be received by the Administrator and each Purchaser Agent before 11:00 a.m., New York City time) at least one Business Day before the requested Purchase Date, which notice shall specify: (A) the amount requested to be paid to the Seller (such amount, which shall not be less than $1,000,000 with respect to each Purchaser Group and shall be in integral multiples of $100,000, being the aggregate of Capital of each Purchaser within such Purchaser Group relating to the undivided percentage ownership interest then being purchased), (B) the date of such Purchase (which shall be a Business Day), and (C) a pro forma calculation of the Purchased Interest after giving effect to the increase in Aggregate Capital. If the Purchase is requested from a Conduit Purchaser and such Conduit Purchaser determines, in its sole discretion, to make the requested Purchase, such Conduit Purchaser shall transfer to the Disbursement Account, an amount equal to such Conduit Purchaser’s Purchaser Group Ratable Share of such Purchase on the requested Purchase Date. If the Purchase is requested from the Related Committed Purchasers for a Purchaser Group (in the case where the related Conduit Purchaser determined not to or was unable to make such Purchase), subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such Related Committed Purchasers for a Purchaser Group shall transfer the applicable Purchaser Group’s Ratable Share of each Purchase (and, in the case of each Related Committed Purchaser, its Commitment Percentage of its Purchaser Group’s Ratable Share of such Purchase) into the Disbursement Account on the

Purchase Date and shall use its reasonable best efforts to make such transfer by no later than 4:00 p.m. (New York time) on such Purchase Date.

(b) On the date of each Purchase, each Purchaser (or the related Purchaser Agent on its behalf), shall upon the satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Exhibit II, make available to the Seller in same day funds, at PNC Bank, account number 1011551718, ABA 043000096 (the “Disbursement Account”), an amount equal to the proceeds of such Purchase.

(c) Effective on the date of each purchase pursuant to this Section 1.2 and each reinvestment pursuant to Section 1.4, the Seller hereby sells and assigns to the Administrator for the benefit of the Purchasers (ratably, according to each such Purchaser’s Capital) an undivided percentage ownership interest in: (i) each Pool Receivable then existing, (ii) all Related Security with respect to such Pool Receivables, and (iii) all Collections with respect to, and other proceeds of, such Pool Receivables and Related Security.

(d) To secure all of the Seller’s obligations (monetary or otherwise) under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, whether now or hereafter existing or arising, due or to become due, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, the Seller hereby grants to the Administrator, for the benefit of the Purchasers a security interest in all of the Seller’s right, title and interest (including any undivided interest of the Seller) in, to and under all of the following, whether now or hereafter owned, existing or arising: (i) all Pool Receivables, (ii) all Related Security with respect to such Pool Receivables, (iii) all Collections with respect to such Pool Receivables, (iv) the Lock-Box Accounts (and related lock-boxes) and all amounts on deposit therein, and all certificates and instruments, if any, from time to time evidencing such Lock-Box Accounts (and such related lock-boxes) and amounts on deposit therein, (v) all books and records of each Receivable, all rights, remedies, powers and privileges of the Seller in any accounts into which Collections are or may be received, (vi) all rights (but none of the obligations) of the Seller under the Purchase and Sale Agreement and under the Sale Agreement, (vii) all rights (but none of the obligations) of BPI under the Sale Agreement, and (viii) all proceeds and products of, and all amounts received or receivable under any or all of, the foregoing (collectively, the “Pool Assets”). The Administrator, for the benefit of the Purchasers shall have, with respect to the Pool Assets, and in addition to all the other rights and remedies available to the Administrator and the Purchasers, all the rights and remedies of a secured party under any applicable UCC. In connection with the grant of the transfer of ownership of those assets set forth in Section 1.2(c) or the security interest in the Pool Assets set forth in this Section 1.2(d), by signing this Agreement in the space provided, the Seller hereby authorizes the filing of all applicable UCC financing statements in all necessary jurisdictions.

(e) The Seller may, with the written consent of each Originator, the Administrator and each Purchaser, add additional Persons as Purchasers (either to an existing Purchaser Group or by creating new Purchaser Groups) or cause an existing Purchaser to increase its Commitment in connection with a corresponding increase in the Purchase Limit; provided, however, that the Commitment of any Purchaser may only be increased with the consent of such Purchaser. Each new Purchaser (or Purchaser Group) and each Purchaser increasing its Commitment shall become a party hereto or increase its Commitment, as the case may be, by executing and delivering to the Administrator, the Purchaser Agents and the Seller an Assumption Agreement

in the form of Annex C hereto (which Assumption Agreement shall, in the case of any new Purchaser or Purchasers be executed by each Person in such new Purchaser’s Purchaser Group).

(f) Each Related Committed Purchaser’s obligation hereunder shall be several, such that the failure of any Related Committed Purchaser to make a payment in connection with any Purchase hereunder shall not relieve any other Related Committed Purchaser of its obligation hereunder to make payment for any Purchase. Further, in the event any Related Committed Purchaser fails to satisfy its obligation to make a Purchase as required hereunder, upon receipt of notice of such failure from the Administrator (or any relevant Purchaser Agent), subject to the limitations set forth herein, the non-defaulting Related Committed Purchasers in such defaulting Related Committed Purchaser’s Purchaser Group may in their sole discretion purchase the defaulting Related Committed Purchaser’s Commitment Percentage of the related Purchase pro rata in proportion to their relative Commitment Percentages (determined without regard to the Commitment Percentage of the defaulting Related Committed Purchaser; it being understood that a defaulting Related Committed Purchaser’s Commitment Percentage of any Purchase shall be first put to the Related Committed Purchasers in such defaulting Related Committed Purchaser’s Purchaser Group and thereafter if there are no other Related Committed Purchasers in such Purchaser Group or if such other Related Committed Purchasers are also defaulting Related Committed Purchasers or elect not to take up all of the defaulting Related Committed Purchaser’s share, then such defaulting Related Committed Purchaser’s Commitment Percentage of such Purchase may, (subject to the consent of each Purchaser in each other Purchaser Group) be put to each other Purchaser Group ratably and applied in accordance with this paragraph (f)). Notwithstanding anything in this paragraph (f) to the contrary, no Related Committed Purchaser shall be required to make a Purchase pursuant to this paragraph for an amount which would cause (i) the Aggregate Capital of such Related Committed Purchaser (after giving effect to such Purchase) to exceed its Commitment or (ii) the sum of the Aggregate Capital of all Purchasers in the Purchaser Group of such Related Committed Purchaser (after giving effect to such Purchase) to exceed the sum of the Commitments of all of the Purchasers in such Purchaser Group.

Section 1.3. Purchased Interest Computation. The Purchased Interest shall be initially computed on the date of the initial purchase hereunder. Thereafter, until the Facility Termination Date, the Purchased Interest shall be automatically recomputed (or deemed to be recomputed) on each Business Day other than a Termination Day. The Purchased Interest as computed or recomputed as of the day before the Facility Termination Date shall thereafter remain constant. The Purchased Interest shall become zero when the Aggregate Capital thereof and Aggregate Discount thereon shall have been paid in full, all the amounts owed by the Seller and the Servicer hereunder to the Purchasers, the Administrator and any other Indemnified Party or Affected Person are paid in full, and the Servicer shall have received the accrued Servicing Fee thereon.

Section 1.4. Settlement Procedures. (a) The collection of the Pool Receivables shall be administered by the Servicer in accordance with this Agreement. The Seller shall provide to the Servicer on a timely basis all information needed for such administration, including notice of the occurrence of any Termination Day and current computations of the Purchased Interest.

(b) The Servicer shall, on each day on which Collections of Pool Receivables are received (or deemed received) by the Seller or the Servicer:

(i) set aside and hold in trust (and shall, at the request of the Administrator (with the consent or at the direction of the Majority Purchasers), segregate in a separate account approved by the Administrator if, at the time of such request, there exists an Unmatured Termination Event or a Termination Event or if the failure to so segregate reasonably could be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect) for the benefit of each Purchaser Group, out of the Purchasers’ Share of such Collections, first, an amount equal to the Aggregate Discount accrued through such day for each Portion of Capital and not previously set aside, second, an amount equal to the fees set forth in each Purchaser Group Fee Letter accrued and unpaid through such day, and third, to the extent funds are available therefor, an amount equal to the aggregate of each Purchaser Group’s Ratable Share of the Purchasers’ Share of the Servicing Fee accrued through such day and not previously set aside,

(ii) subject to Section 1.4(f), if such day is not a Termination Day, remit to the Seller ratably according to the Ratable Capital, on behalf of the each Purchaser Group, the remainder of the Purchasers’ Share of such Collections. Such remainder shall, to the extent representing a return on the Aggregate Capital, ratably, according to each Purchaser’s Capital Percentage be automatically reinvested in Pool Receivables, and in the Related Security, Collections and other proceeds with respect thereto; provided, however, that if the Purchased Interest would exceed 100%, then the Servicer shall not reinvest, but shall set aside and hold in trust for the Purchasers (and shall, at the request of the Administrator (with the consent or at the direction of the Majority Purchasers), segregate in a separate account approved by the Administrator) a portion of such Collections that, together with the other such Collections set aside pursuant to this paragraph, shall equal the amount necessary to reduce the Purchased Interest to 100%; provided, further, that in the case of any Purchaser that has provided notice (an “Exiting Notice”) to its Purchaser Agent of its refusal, pursuant to Section 1.10, to extend its Commitment hereunder (an “Exiting Purchaser”), then beginning with the Facility Termination Date in effect for that Exiting Purchaser such Purchaser’s ratable share of such Collections based on its Capital Percentage shall not be reinvested and shall instead be held in trust for the benefit of such Purchaser and applied in accordance with clause (iii) below,

(iii) if such day is a Termination Day (or the Facility Termination Date in effect for an Exiting Purchaser or any subsequent day), set aside, segregate and hold in trust (and shall, at the request of the Administrator (with the consent or at the direction of a Simple Majority of the Purchasers), segregate in a separate account approved by the Administrator) for the benefit of each Purchaser Group the entire remainder of the Purchasers’ Share of such Collections (or in the case of an Exiting Purchaser an amount equal to such Exiting Purchaser’s ratable share of such Collections based on its Capital Percentage; provided, that solely for the purpose of determining such Exiting Purchaser’s ratable share of such Collections applicable to its Capital Percentage (and not for purposes of calculating any Fees or Discount payable to such Exiting Purchaser hereunder), such Exiting Purchaser’s Capital shall be deemed to remain constant from the date of the provision of an Exiting Notice until the date such Exiting Purchaser’s Capital has been paid in full; it being understood that if such day is also a Termination Day, such Exiting Purchaser’s Capital shall be recalculated taking into account amounts received by

such Purchaser in respect of this parenthetical and thereafter such Collections shall be set aside for such Exiting Purchaser ratably in respect of its Capital Percentage (as recalculated)); provided, that if amounts are set aside and held in trust on any Termination Day of the type described in clause (a) of the definition of “Termination Day” (or the Facility Termination Date in effect for an Exiting Purchaser or any subsequent day) and, thereafter, the conditions set forth in Section 2 of Exhibit II are satisfied or waived by the Administrator and the Majority Purchasers (or in the case of an Exiting Notice, such Exiting Notice has been revoked by the related Exiting Purchaser, and written notice thereof has been provided to the Administrator, the related Purchaser Agent and the Servicer), such previously set-aside amounts shall, to the extent representing a return on Aggregate Capital (or the Capital of the Exiting Purchaser) and ratably in accordance with each Purchaser’s Capital Percentage, be remitted for the benefit of the Seller and automatically reinvested in accordance with clause (ii) on the day of such subsequent satisfaction or waiver of conditions or evocation of Exiting Notice, and

(iv) release to the Seller (subject to Section 1.4(f)) for its own account any such Collections in excess of: (x) amounts required to be reinvested in accordance with clause (ii) or the proviso to clause (iii) plus (y) the amounts that are required to be set aside pursuant to clause (i), the first and second proviso to clause (ii) and clause (iii) plus (z) the Seller’s Share of the Servicing Fee accrued and unpaid through such day and all reasonable and appropriate out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Servicer for servicing, collecting and administering the Receivables.

(c) The Servicer shall, in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 1.4(d), below, deposit into each applicable Purchaser’s account (or such other account designated by such applicable Purchaser or its Purchaser Agent), on each Settlement Date (or solely with respect to Collections held for the Purchasers pursuant to clause (f)(iii) of Section 1.4 such other date approved by the Administrator with at least five (5) Business Days prior written notice to the Administrator of such payment), Collections held for each Purchaser with respect to such Purchaser’s Portion(s) of Capital pursuant to clause (b)(i) or (f) plus the amount of Collections then held for such Purchaser pursuant to clauses (b)(ii) and (iii) of Section 1.4; provided, that if BPI or an Affiliate thereof is the Servicer, BPI may retain the portion of the Collections set aside pursuant to clause (b)(i) that represents the aggregate of each Purchaser Group’s Ratable Share of the Purchasers’ Share of the Servicing Fee. On or before the last day of each Settlement Period with respect to any Portion of Capital, the applicable Purchaser Agent will notify the Servicer by facsimile of the amount of the Discount accrued with respect to each such Portion of Capital during the related Settlement Period then ending.

(d) The Servicer shall distribute the amounts described (and at the times set forth) in Section 1.4(c). as follows:

(i) if such distribution occurs on a day that is not a Termination Day and the Purchased Interest does not exceed 100%, first to each Purchaser Agent ratably according to the Discount and fees (other than Servicing Fees) accrued during such Settlement Period (for the benefit of the relevant Purchasers within such Purchaser Agent’s Purchaser Group) in payment in full of all accrued Discount and fees (other than

Servicing Fees) with respect to each Portion of Capital maintained by such Purchasers; it being understood that each Purchaser Agent shall distribute such amounts to the Purchasers within its Purchaser Group ratably according to Discount and fees (other than Servicing Fees), and second, if the Servicer has set aside amounts in respect of the Servicing Fee pursuant to clause (b)(i) and has not retained such amounts pursuant to clause (c), to the Servicer’s own account (payable in arrears on each Settlement Date) in payment in full of the aggregate of each Purchaser Group’s Ratable Share of the Purchasers’ Share of accrued Servicing Fees so set aside, and

(ii) if such distribution occurs on a Termination Day or on a day when the Purchased Interest exceeds 100%, first if BearingPoint is not the Servicer, to the Servicer’s own account in payment in full of all accrued Servicing Fees, second to each Purchaser Agent ratably according to Discount (for the benefit of the relevant Purchasers within such Purchaser Agent’s Purchaser Group) in payment in full of all accrued Discount with respect to each Portion of Capital funded or maintained by the Purchasers within such Purchaser Agent’s Purchaser Group, third to each Purchaser Agent all of its respective fees, fourth to each Purchaser Agent ratably according to the Ratable Capital of such Purchaser Agent’s Purchaser Group (for the benefit of the relevant Purchasers within such Purchaser Agent’s Purchaser Group) in payment in full of each Purchaser’s Capital (or, if such day is not a Termination Day, the amount necessary to reduce the Purchased Interest to 100%); it being understood that each Purchaser Agent shall distribute the amounts described in the second, third and fourth clauses of this Section l.4(d)(ii) to the Purchasers within its Purchaser Group ratably according to Discount and Capital Percentage, respectively; fifth if BearingPoint is the Servicer, to the Servicer’s own account in payment in full of all accrued Servicing Fees, and sixth, if the Aggregate Capital and accrued Aggregate Discount with respect to each Portion of Capital for all Purchaser Groups have been reduced to zero, and all accrued Servicing Fees payable to the Servicer have been paid in full, to each Purchaser Group ratably (for the benefit of the Purchasers within such Purchaser Group) in accordance with its Ratable Share, the Administrator and any other Indemnified Party or Affected Person in payment in full of any other amounts owed thereto by the Seller or Servicer hereunder.

After the Aggregate Capital, Aggregate Discount, fees payable pursuant to each Purchaser Group Fee Letter and Servicing Fees with respect to the Purchased Interest, and any other amounts payable by the Seller and the Servicer to each Purchaser Group, the Administrator or any other Indemnified Party or Affected Person hereunder, have been paid in full, all additional Collections with respect to the Purchased Interest shall be paid to the Seller for its own account.

(e) For the purposes of this Section 1.4:

(i) if on any day the Outstanding Balance of any Pool Receivable is reduced or adjusted as a result of any defective, rejected, returned, repossessed or foreclosed goods or services, or any revision, cancellation, allowance, discount or other adjustment made by the Seller or any Affiliate of the Seller, or the Servicer or any Affiliate of the Servicer, or any setoff or dispute between the Seller or any Affiliate of the Seller or the Servicer or any Affiliate of the Servicer, and an Obligor, the Seller shall be deemed to have received

on such day a Collection of such Pool Receivable in the amount of such reduction or adjustment;

(ii) if on any day any of the representations or warranties in Section 1(g) (or) (n) of Exhibit III or Section 2, 3 or 4 of Exhibit VI is not true with respect to any Pool Receivable, the Seller shall be deemed to have received on such day a Collection of such Pool Receivable in full;

(iii) except as provided in clause (i) or (ii), or as otherwise required by applicable law or the relevant Contract, all Collections received from an Obligor of any Receivable shall be applied to the Receivables of such Obligor in the order of the age of such Receivables, starting with the oldest such Receivable, unless such Obligor designates in writing its payment for application to specific Receivables; and

(iv) if and to the extent the Administrator, any Purchaser Agent or any Purchaser shall be required for any reason to pay over to an Obligor (or any trustee, receiver, custodian or similar official in any Insolvency Proceeding) any amount received by it hereunder, such amount shall be deemed not to have been so received by such Person but rather to have been retained by the Seller and, accordingly, such Person shall have a claim against the Seller for such amount, payable when and to the extent that any distribution from or on behalf of such Obligor is made in respect thereof.

(f) If at any time the Seller shall wish to cause the reduction of Aggregate Capital (but not to commence the liquidation, or reduction to zero, of the entire Aggregate Capital), the Seller may do so as follows:

(i) the Seller shall give the Administrator, each Purchaser Agent and the Servicer written notice in the form of Annex E (A) at least two Business Days’ prior to the date of such reduction for any reduction of Aggregate Capital less than or equal to $10,000,000 and (B) at least five Business Days’ prior to the date of such reduction for any reduction of Aggregate Capital greater than $10,000,000 (in each case such notice shall include the amount of such proposed reduction and the proposed date on which such reduction will occur);

(ii) (A) on the proposed date of the commencement of such reduction and on each day thereafter, the Servicer shall cause Collections not to be reinvested until the amount thereof not so reinvested shall equal the desired amount of reduction or (B) the Seller shall remit to the applicable Purchaser’s account in immediately available funds an amount equal to the desired amount of such reduction together with accrued and unpaid Aggregate Discount, and Aggregate Discount to accrue through the next Settlement Date, with respect to such Aggregate Capital; and

(iii) in the case of Clause (ii)(A) above, the Servicer shall hold such Collections in trust for the benefit of each Purchaser ratably according to its Capital Percentage, for payment to each such Purchaser (or its related Purchaser Agent for the benefit of such Purchaser) on the (1) next Settlement Date with respect to any Portion of Capital maintained by such Purchaser immediately following the related current Settlement

Period or (2) such other date approved by the Administrator with at least five Business Days prior written notice to the Administrator of such payment, and the Aggregate Capital (together with the Capital of any related Purchaser) shall be deemed reduced in the amount to be paid to such Purchaser (or its related Purchaser Agent for the benefit of such Purchaser) only when in fact finally so paid;

provided, that:

the amount of any such reduction shall be not less than $1,000,000 for each Purchaser Group and shall be an integral multiple of $100,000; and

with respect to any Portion of Capital, the Seller shall choose a reduction amount, and the date of commencement thereof, so that to the extent practicable such reduction shall commence and conclude in the same Settlement Period.

Section 1.5. Fees. The Seller shall pay to each Purchaser Agent for the benefit of the related Purchasers certain fees in the amounts and on the dates set forth in letters, dated the date hereof (each such letter as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, a “Purchaser Group Fee Letter”) in each case among the Seller, the Servicer, the related Purchasers and the related Purchaser Agent.

Section 1.6. Payments and Computations, Etc. (a) All amounts to be paid or deposited by the Seller or the Servicer hereunder shall be made without reduction for offset or counterclaim and shall be paid or deposited no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the day when due in same day funds to the applicable Purchaser’s account (as such account is identified in the related Purchaser Group Fee Letter). All amounts received after noon (New York City time) will be deemed to have been received on the next Business Day.

(b) The Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, shall, to the extent permitted by law, pay interest on any amount not paid or deposited by the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, when due hereunder, at an interest rate equal to 2.0% per annum above the Base Rate, payable on demand.

(c) All computations of interest under clause (b) and all computations of Discount, fees and other amounts hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 (or 365 or 366, as applicable, with respect to Discount or other amounts calculated by reference to the Base Rate) days for the actual number of days elapsed. Whenever any payment or deposit to be made hereunder shall be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment or deposit shall be made on the next Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of such payment or deposit.

Section 1.7. Increased Costs. (a) If any Purchaser Agent, Purchaser, Liquidity Provider, the Administrator or any other Program Support Provider or any of their respective Affiliates (each an “Affected Person”) reasonably determines that the existence of or compliance with: (i) any law or regulation or any generally accepted accounting standard or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, in each case adopted, issued or occurring after the date hereof, or (ii) any request, guideline or directive from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) issued or occurring after the

date of this Agreement, affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Affected Person, and such Affected Person determines that the amount of such capital is increased by or based upon the existence of any commitment to make Purchases of (or otherwise to maintain the Capital in) Pool Receivables related to this Agreement or any related liquidity facility, credit enhancement facility and other commitments of the same type, then, upon demand by such Affected Person (with a copy to the Administrator and each Purchaser Agent), the Seller shall promptly pay to the Administrator, for the account of such Affected Person, from time to time as specified by such Affected Person, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Affected Person for both increased costs and maintenance of bargained for yield in the light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Affected Person reasonably determines such increase in capital to be allocable to the existence of any of such commitments. A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Seller, the Administrator and each Purchaser Agent by such Affected Person shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(b) If, due to either: (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation or generally accepted accounting standard, in each case, after the date of this Agreement or (ii) compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) issued or occurring after the date of this Agreement, there shall be any increase in the cost to any Affected Person of agreeing to purchase or purchasing, or maintaining the ownership of, the Purchased Interest or any portion thereof in respect of which Discount is computed by reference to the Euro-Rate, then, upon demand by such Affected Person, the Seller shall promptly pay to such Affected Person, from time to time as specified by such Affected Person, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Affected Person for both increased costs and maintenance of bargained for yield. A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Seller and the Administrator by such Affected Person shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(c) If such increased costs affect the related Affected Person’s portfolio of financing transactions, such Affected Person shall use reasonable averaging and attribution methods to allocate such increased costs to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(d) For the avoidance of doubt any increase in cost and/or reduction in yield caused by regulatory capital allocation adjustments due to Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Interpretation 46 (or any future statement or interpretation issued by the Financial Accounting Standard Board or any successor thereto) shall be covered by this Section 1.7.

Section 1.8. Requirements of Law. If any Affected Person reasonably determines that the existence of or compliance with: (a) any law or regulation or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, in each case adopted, issued or occurring after the date hereof, or (b) any request, guideline or directive from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) issued or occurring after the date of this Agreement:

(i) does or shall subject such Affected Person to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any increase in the Purchased Interest or any portion thereof or in the amount of such Person’s Capital relating thereto, or does or shall change

the basis of taxation of payments to such Affected Person on account of Collections, Discount or any other amounts payable hereunder (excluding taxes imposed on the overall pre-tax net income of such Affected Person, and franchise taxes imposed on such Affected Person, by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Affected Person is organized or a political subdivision thereof),

(ii) does or shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, purchases, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Affected Person that are not otherwise included in the determination of the Euro-Rate or the Base Rate hereunder, or

(iii) does or shall impose on such Affected Person any other condition,

and the result of any of the foregoing is: (A) to increase the cost to such Affected Person of acting as Administrator or as a Purchaser Agent, or of agreeing to purchase or purchasing or maintaining the ownership of undivided percentage ownership interests with regard to the Purchased Interest (or interests therein) or any Portion of Capital, or (B) to reduce any amount receivable hereunder (whether directly or indirectly), then, in any such case, upon demand by such Affected Person, the Seller shall promptly pay to such Affected Person additional amounts necessary to compensate such Affected Person for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable. All such amounts shall be payable as incurred. A certificate from such Affected Person to the Seller and the Administrator certifying, in reasonably specific detail, the basis for, calculation of, and amount of such additional costs or reduced amount receivable shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error; provided, however, that no Affected Person shall be required to disclose any confidential or tax planning information in any such certificate.

Section 1.9. Inability to Determine Euro-Rate. (a) If the Administrator or any Purchaser Agent determines before the first day of any Settlement Period (which determination shall be final and conclusive) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank eurodollar market generally, deposits in dollars (in the relevant amounts for such Settlement Period) are not being offered to banks in the interbank eurodollar market for such Settlement Period, or adequate means do not exist for ascertaining the Euro-Rate for such Settlement Period, then the Administrator or any Purchaser Agent shall give notice thereof to the Seller. Thereafter, until the Administrator notifies the Seller that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, (A) no Portion of Capital shall be funded at the Yield Rate determined by reference to the Euro-Rate and (B) the Discount for any outstanding Portions of Capital then funded at the Yield Rate determined by reference to the Euro-Rate shall, on the last day of the then current Settlement Period, be converted to the Yield Rate determined by reference to the Base Rate.

(b) If, on or before the first day of any Settlement Period, the Administrator shall have been notified by any Purchaser, Purchaser Agent or Liquidity Provider that, such Person has determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive) that, any enactment, promulgation or adoption of or any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by a Governmental Authority, central bank

or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by such Purchaser with any guideline, request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall make it unlawful or impossible for such Person to fund or maintain any Portion of Capital at the Yield Rate and based upon the Euro-Rate, the Administrator shall notify the Seller thereof. Upon receipt of such notice, until the Administrator notifies the Seller that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer apply, (A) no Portion of Capital funded by such Affected Person shall be funded at the Yield Rate determined by reference to the Euro-Rate and (B) the Discount for any outstanding Portions of Capital then funded at the Yield Rate determined by reference to the Euro-Rate shall be converted to the Yield Rate determined by reference to the Base Rate either (i) on the last day of the then current Settlement Period if such Person may lawfully continue to maintain such Portion of Capital at the Yield Rate determined by reference to the Euro-Rate to such day, or (ii) immediately, if such Person may not lawfully continue to maintain such Portion of Capital at the Yield Rate determined by reference to the Euro-Rate to such day.

Section 1.10. Extension of Termination Date. The Seller may advise the Administrator and each Purchaser Agent in writing of its desire to extend the Facility Termination Date for an additional 364 days, provided such request is made not more than 90 days prior to, and not less than 60 days prior to, the then current Facility Termination Date. In the event that the Purchaser Agents are all agreeable to such extension, the Administrator shall so notify the Seller in writing (it being understood that the Purchaser Agents may accept or decline such a request in their sole discretion and on such terms as they may elect) not less than 30 days prior to the then current Facility Termination Date and the Seller, the Administrator, the Purchaser Agents and the Purchasers shall enter into such documents as the Purchasers may deem necessary or appropriate to reflect such extension, and all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Purchasers, the Administrator and the Purchaser Agents in connection therewith (including reasonable Attorneys’ Costs) shall be paid by the Seller. In the event the Purchaser Agents decline the request for such extension, the Administrator shall so notify the Seller of such determination; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrator to notify the Seller of the determination to decline such extension shall not affect the understanding and agreement that the Purchaser Agents shall be deemed to have refused to grant the requested extension in the event the Administrator fails to affirmatively notify the Seller, in writing, of their agreement to accept the requested extension.

(vi) any dispute, claim, offset or defense (other than discharge in bankruptcy of the Obligor) of the Obligor to the payment of any Receivable in, or purporting to be in, the Receivables Pool (including a defense based on such Receivable or the related Contract not being 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 or relating to collection activities with respect to such Receivable (if such collection activities were performed by the Seller or any of its Affiliates acting as Servicer or by any agent or independent contractor retained by the Seller or any of its Affiliates),

ARTICLE IV.

ADMINISTRATION AND COLLECTIONS

Section 4.1. Appointment of the Servicer. (a) The servicing, administering and collection of the Pool Receivables shall be conducted by the Person so designated from time to time as the Servicer in accordance with this Section. Until the Administrator gives notice to BPI (in accordance with this Section) of the designation of a new Servicer, BPI is hereby designated as, and hereby agrees to perform the duties and obligations of, the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof. Upon the occurrence of a Termination Event, the Administrator may (with the consent of the Majority Purchasers or shall at the direction of the Majority Purchasers) designate as Servicer any Person (including itself) to succeed BPI or any successor Servicer, on the condition in each case that any such Person so designated shall agree to perform the duties and obligations of the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof.

(b) Upon the designation of a successor Servicer as set forth in clause (a), BPI agrees that it will terminate its activities as Servicer hereunder in a manner that the Administrator determines will facilitate the transition of the performance of such activities to the new Servicer, and BPI shall cooperate with and assist such new Servicer. Such cooperation shall include access to and transfer of related records and use by the new Servicer of all licenses, hardware or software necessary or desirable to collect the Pool Receivables and the Related Security.

(c) BPI acknowledges that, in making their decision to execute and deliver this Agreement, the Administrator and each Purchaser Group have relied on BPI’s agreement to act as Servicer hereunder. Accordingly, BPI agrees that it will not voluntarily resign as Servicer.

(d) The Servicer may delegate its duties and obligations hereunder to any subservicer (each a “Sub-Servicer”); provided, that, in each such delegation: (i) such Sub-Servicer shall agree in writing to perform the duties and obligations of the Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof, (ii) the Servicer shall remain primarily liable for the performance of the duties and obligations so delegated, (iii) the Seller, the Administrator and each Purchaser Group shall have the right to look solely to the Servicer for performance, and (iv) the terms of any agreement with

any Sub-Servicer shall provide that the Administrator may terminate such agreement upon the termination of the Servicer hereunder by giving notice of its desire to terminate such agreement to the Servicer (and the Servicer shall provide appropriate notice to each such Sub-Servicer); provided, however, that if any such delegation is to any Person other than any Originator or an Affiliate thereof, the Administrator and the Majority Purchasers shall have consented in writing in advance to such delegation.

Section 4.2. Duties of the Servicer. (a) The Servicer shall take or cause to be taken all such action as may be necessary or advisable to administer and collect each Pool Receivable from time to time, all in accordance with this Agreement and all applicable laws, rules and regulations, with reasonable care and diligence, and in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policies. The Servicer shall set aside, for the account of each Purchaser Group, the amount of the Collections to which each Purchaser Group is entitled in accordance with Article I. The Servicer may, in accordance with the applicable Credit and Collection Policy, extend the maturity of any Pool Receivable and extend the maturity or adjust the Outstanding Balance of any Defaulted Receivable as the Servicer may determine to be appropriate to maximize Collections thereof; provided, however, that: for all purposes of this Agreement, (i) such extension shall not change the number of days such Pool Receivable has remained unpaid from the date of the invoice related to such Pool Receivable, (ii) such extension or adjustment shall not alter the status of such Pool Receivable as a Delinquent Receivable or a Defaulted Receivable or limit the rights of any Purchaser Group or the Administrator under this Agreement and (iii) if a Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and BPI or an Affiliate thereof is serving as the Servicer, BPI or such Affiliate may make such extension or adjustment only upon the prior approval of the Administrator (with the consent of the Majority Purchasers). The Seller shall deliver to the Servicer and the Servicer shall hold for the benefit of the Seller and the Administrator (individually and for the benefit of each Purchaser Group), in accordance with their respective interests, all records and documents (including computer tapes or disks) with respect to each Pool Receivable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Administrator may direct the Servicer (whether the Servicer is BPI or any other Person) to commence or settle any legal action to enforce collection of any Pool Receivable or to foreclose upon or repossess any Related Security; provided, however, that no such direction may be given unless either: (A) a Termination Event has occurred or (B) the Administrator reasonably believes that failure to commence, settle or effect such legal action, foreclosure or repossession could adversely affect Receivables constituting a material portion of the Pool Receivables.

(b) The Servicer shall, as soon as practicable following actual receipt of collected funds, turn over to the Seller the collections of any indebtedness that is not a Pool Receivable, less, if BPI or an Affiliate thereof is not the Servicer, all reasonable and appropriate out-of-pocket costs and expenses of such Servicer of servicing, collecting and administering such collections. The Servicer, if other than BPI or an Affiliate thereof, shall, as soon as practicable upon demand, deliver to the Seller all records in its possession that evidence or relate to any indebtedness that is not a Pool Receivable, and copies of records in its possession that evidence or relate to any indebtedness that is a Pool Receivable.

(c) The Servicer’s obligations hereunder shall terminate on the later of: (i) the Facility Termination Date and (ii) the date on which all amounts required to be paid to the Purchaser

Agents, each Purchaser, the Administrator and any other Indemnified Party or Affected Person hereunder shall have been paid in full.

After such termination, if BPI or an Affiliate thereof was not the Servicer on the date of such termination, the Servicer shall promptly deliver to the Seller all books, records and related materials that the Seller previously provided to the Servicer, or that have been obtained by the Servicer, in connection with this Agreement.

Section 4.3. Lock-Box Arrangements. Prior to the initial Purchase hereunder, the Seller shall enter into Lock-Box Agreements with all of the Lock-Box Banks and deliver original counterparts thereof to the Administrator. Upon the occurrence of a Termination Event, the Administrator may (with the consent of a Simple Majority of the Purchasers) or shall (upon the direction of a Simple Majority of the Purchasers) at any time thereafter give notice to each Lock-Box Bank that the Administrator is exercising its rights under the Lock-Box Agreements to do any or all of the following: (a) to have the exclusive ownership and control of the Lock-Box Accounts (and the related lock-boxes) transferred to the Administrator (for the benefit of the Purchasers) and to exercise exclusive dominion and control over the funds deposited therein, (b) to have the proceeds that are sent to the respective Lock-Box Accounts (and the respective related lock-boxes) redirected pursuant to the Administrator’s instructions rather than deposited in the applicable Lock-Box Account (or sent to the applicable related lock-box), and (c) to take any or all other actions permitted under the applicable Lock-Box Agreement. The Seller hereby agrees that if the Administrator at any time takes any action set forth in the preceding sentence, the Administrator shall have exclusive control (for the benefit of the Purchasers) of the proceeds (including Collections) of all Pool Receivables and the Seller hereby further agrees to take any other action that the Administrator or any Purchaser Agent may reasonably request to transfer such control. Any proceeds of Pool Receivables received by the Seller or the Servicer thereafter shall be sent immediately to the Administrator. The parties hereto hereby acknowledge that if at any time the Administrator takes control of any Lock-Box Account (and any such related lock-box), the Administrator shall not have any rights to the funds therein in excess of the unpaid amounts due to the Administrator, Purchaser Group, any Indemnified Party or any other Person hereunder, and the Administrator shall distribute or cause to be distributed such funds in accordance with Section 4.2(b) and Article I (in each case as if such funds were held by the Servicer thereunder).

Section 4.4. Enforcement Rights, (a) At any time following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Termination Event:

(i) the Administrator may (with the consent or at the direction of the Majority Purchasers) direct the Obligors that payment of all amounts payable under any Pool Receivable is to be made directly to the Administrator or its designee,

(ii) the Administrator may (with the consent or at the direction of the Majority Purchasers) instruct the Seller or the Servicer to give notice of the Purchaser Group’s interest in Pool Receivables to each Obligor, which notice shall direct that payments be made directly to the Administrator or its designee (on behalf of such Purchaser Group), and the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, shall give such notice at the expense of the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be; provided, that if the Seller or the Servicer,

as the case may be, fails to so notify each Obligor, the Administrator (at the Seller’s or the Servicer’s, as the case may be, expense) may so notify the Obligors, and

(iii) the Administrator may (with the consent or at the direction of the Majority Purchasers) request the Servicer to, and upon such request the Servicer shall: (A) assemble all of the records necessary or desirable to collect the Pool Receivables and the Related Security, and transfer or license to a successor Servicer the use of all software (to the extent that the Servicer may transfer or allow such successor Servicer to have access to such software without violating the terms of any agreement between the Servicer and the provider of such software which relate to the transfer or assignment of such software) necessary or desirable to collect the Pool Receivables and the Related Security, and make the same available to the Administrator or its designee (for the benefit of the Purchasers) at a place selected by the Administrator, and (B) segregate all cash, checks and other instruments received by it from time to time constituting Collections in a manner acceptable to the Administrator and, promptly upon receipt, remit all such cash, checks and instruments, duly endorsed or with duly executed instruments of transfer, to the Administrator or its designee.

(b) The Seller hereby authorizes the Administrator (on behalf of each Purchaser Group), and irrevocably appoints the Administrator as its attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution and with full authority in the place and stead of the Seller, which appointment is coupled with an interest, to take any and all steps in the name of the Seller and on behalf of the Seller necessary or desirable, in the determination of the Administrator, to collect any and all amounts or portions thereof due under any and all Pool Assets, including endorsing the name of the Seller on checks and other instruments representing Collections and enforcing such Pool Assets; provided, however, that the Administrator will not exercise the rights given to it under this Section 4.4(b) or pursuant to any power of attorney granted to the Administrator by the Seller, BPI or any Originator unless: (A) a Termination Event has occurred or (B) the Administrator reasonably believes that failure to exercise such rights could adversely affect the Purchasers’ rights in the Pool Assets. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this subsection, none of the powers conferred upon such attorney-in-fact pursuant to the preceding sentence shall subject such attorney-in-fact to any liability if any action taken by it shall prove to be inadequate or invalid, nor shall they confer any obligations upon such attorney-in-fact in any manner whatsoever.

Section 4.5. Responsibilities of the Seller. (a) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Seller shall: (i) perform all of its obligations, if any, under the Contracts related to the Pool Receivables to the same extent as if interests in such Pool Receivables had not been transferred hereunder, and the exercise by the Administrator, the Purchaser Agents or the Purchasers of their respective rights hereunder shall not relieve the Seller from such obligations, and (ii) pay when due any taxes, including any sales taxes payable in connection with the Pool Receivables and their creation and satisfaction. The Administrator and the Purchaser Agents or any of the Purchasers shall not have any obligation or liability with respect to any Pool Asset, nor shall either of them be obligated to perform any of the obligations of the Seller, Servicer, BPI or any Originator thereunder.

(b) BPI hereby irrevocably agrees that if at any time it shall cease to be the Servicer hereunder, it shall act (if the then-current Servicer so requests) as the data-processing agent of the Servicer and, in such capacity, BPI shall conduct the data-processing functions of the administration of the Receivables and the Collections thereon in substantially the same way that BPI conducted such data-processing functions while it acted as the Servicer.

Section 4.6. Servicing Fee. (a) Subject to clause (b), the Servicer shall be paid a fee (the “Servicing Fee”) equal to 0.50% per annum (the “Servicing Fee Rate”) of the daily average aggregate Outstanding Balance of the Pool Receivables. The aggregate of each Purchaser Group’s Ratable Share of such fee shall be paid through the distributions contemplated by Section 1.4(d), and the Seller’s Share of such fee shall be paid by the Seller on each Monthly Settlement Date.

(b) If the Servicer ceases to be BPI or an Affiliate thereof, the servicing fee shall be the greater of: (i) the amount calculated pursuant to clause (a), and (ii) an alternative amount specified by the successor Servicer not to exceed 110% of the aggregate reasonable costs and expenses incurred by such successor Servicer in connection with the performance of its obligations as Servicer.

Section 5.4. Reliance by Agents.

(a) Each Purchaser Agent and the Administrator shall in all cases be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any document or other writing or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Seller), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrator. Each Purchaser Agent and the Administrator shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Transaction Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Majority Purchasers or a Simple Majority of the Purchasers, as applicable (or in the case of any Purchaser Agent, the Purchasers within its Purchaser Group that have a majority of the aggregate Commitment of such Purchaser Group), and assurance of its indemnification, as it deems appropriate.

(b) The Administrator shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement in accordance with a request of the Majority Purchasers or a Simple Majority of the Purchasers, as applicable, or the Purchaser Agents, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all Purchasers, the Administrator and Purchaser Agents.

(c) The Purchasers within each Purchaser Group with a majority of the Commitment of such Purchaser Group shall be entitled to request or direct the related Purchaser Agent to take action, or refrain from taking action, under this Agreement on behalf of such Purchasers. Such Purchaser Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement in accordance with a request of such majority Purchasers, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of such Purchaser Agent’s Purchasers.

(d) Unless otherwise advised in writing by a Purchaser Agent or by any Purchaser on whose behalf such Purchaser Agent is purportedly acting, each party to this Agreement may assume that (i) such Purchaser Agent is acting for the benefit of each of the Purchasers in respect of which such Purchaser Agent is identified as being the “Purchaser Agent” in the definition of “Purchaser Agent” hereto, as well as for the benefit of each assignee or other transferee from any such Person, and (ii) each action taken by such Purchaser Agent has been duly authorized and approved by all necessary action on the part of the Purchasers on whose behalf it is purportedly acting. Each Purchaser Agent and its Purchaser(s) shall agree amongst themselves as to the circumstances and procedures for removal, resignation and replacement of such Purchaser Agent.

Section 5.5. Notice of Termination Events. Neither any Purchaser Agent nor the Administrator shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event unless such Administrator has received notice from any Purchaser, Purchaser Agent, the Servicer or the Seller stating that a Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event has occurred hereunder and describing such Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event. In the event that the Administrator receives such a notice, it shall promptly give notice thereof to each Purchaser Agent whereupon each such Purchaser Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to its Purchasers. In the event that a

Purchaser Agent receives such a notice (other than from the Administrator), it shall promptly give notice thereof to the Administrator. The Administrator shall take such action concerning a Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event as may be directed by the Majority Purchasers or a Simple Majority of the Purchasers, as applicable (unless such action otherwise requires the consent of all Purchasers), but until the Administrator receives such directions, the Administrator may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, as the Administrator deems advisable and in he best interests of the Purchasers and Purchaser Agents.

Section 5.6. Non-Reliance on Administrator, Purchaser Agents and Other Purchasers. Each Purchaser expressly acknowledges that none of the Administrator, the Purchaser Agents nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrator, or any Purchaser Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Seller, BPI, Servicer or any Originator, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrator or such Purchaser Agent, as applicable. Each Purchaser represents and warrants to the Administrator and the Purchaser Agents that, independently and without reliance upon the Administrator, Purchaser Agents or any other Purchaser and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, it has made and will continue to make its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, prospects, financial and other conditions and creditworthiness of the Seller, BPI, Servicer or any Originator, and the Receivables and its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to take, or omit, action under any Transaction Document. Except for items specifically required to be delivered hereunder, the Administrator shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Purchaser Agent with any information concerning the Seller, BPI, Servicer or any Originator or any of their Affiliates that comes into the possession of the Administrator or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.

Section 5.7. Administrators and Affiliates. Each of the Purchasers and the Administrator and their Affiliates may extend credit to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, debt, equity or other business with the Seller, BPI, Servicer or any Originator or any of their Affiliates and PNC may exercise or refrain from exercising its rights and powers as if it were not the Administrator. With respect to the acquisition of the Eligible Receivables pursuant to this Agreement, each of the Purchaser Agents and the Administrator shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any Purchaser and may exercise the same as though it were not such an agent, and the terms “Purchaser” and “Purchasers” shall include each of the Purchaser Agents and the Administrator in their individual capacities.

Section 5.8. Indemnification. Each Purchaser Group shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrator (but solely in its capacity as Administrator) and its officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents (to the extent not reimbursed by the Seller, BPI or Servicer and without limiting the obligation of the Seller, BPI or Servicer to do so), ratably in accordance with its Ratable Share from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, judgments, settlements, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind whatsoever (including in connection with any investigative or threatened proceeding, whether or not the Administrator or such Person shall be designated a party thereto) that may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrator or such Person as a result of, or

related to, any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents or the execution, delivery or performance of the Transaction Documents or any other document furnished in connection therewith (but excluding any such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, judgments, settlements, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrator or such Person as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction); provided, that in the case of each Purchaser that is a commercial paper conduit, even if such Purchaser is a Committed Purchaser, such indemnity shall be provided solely to the extent of amounts received by such Purchaser under this Agreement which exceed the amounts required to repay such Purchaser’s outstanding Notes. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.8 to the contrary, each of the Administrator, each Purchaser Agent and each Purchaser hereby covenants and agrees that it shall not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, any Conduit Purchaser any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding or other proceedings under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and a day after the latest maturing Note issued by such Conduit Purchaser is paid in full.

Section 5.9. Successor Administrator. The Administrator may, upon at least five (5) days notice to the Seller and each Purchaser and Purchaser Agent, resign as Administrator. Such resignation shall not become effective until a successor agent, reasonably acceptable to the Seller, is appointed by the Majority Purchasers and has accepted such appointment. Upon such acceptance of its appointment as Administrator hereunder by a successor Administrator, such successor Administrator shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights and duties of the retiring Administrator, and the retiring Administrator shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Transaction Documents. After any retiring Administrator’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of Sections 3.1 and 3.2 and this Article V shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrator.

ARTICLE VI.

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 6.1. Amendments, Etc. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or consent to any departure by the Seller or the Servicer therefrom, shall be effective unless in a writing signed by the Administrator and each of the Majority Purchasers, and, in the case of any amendment, by the other parties thereto; 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, if required by any Conduit Purchaser, no such material amendment shall be effective until both Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s have notified the related Purchaser Agent in writing that such action will not result in a reduction or withdrawal of the rating of any Notes; provided, further that no such amendment or waiver shall, without the consent of each affected Purchaser, (A) extend the date of any payment or deposit of Collections by the Seller or the Servicer, (B) reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of Discount, (C) reduce any fees payable to the Administrator, any Purchaser Agent or any Purchaser pursuant to the applicable Purchaser Group Fee Letter, (D) change the amount of Capital of any Purchaser, any Purchaser’s pro rata share of the Purchased Interest or any Related Committed Purchaser’s Commitment, (E) amend, modify or waive any provision of the definition of “Majority Purchaser” or this Section 6.1, (F) consent to or permit the assignment or transfer by the Seller of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, (G) change the

definition of “Concentration Percentage,” “Concentration Reserve,” “Concentration Reserve Percentage,’” “Eligible Receivable,” “Ineligible Elimination Amounts,” “Loss Reserve,” “Loss Reserve Percentage,” “Dilution Reserve,” “Dilution Reserve Percentage,” “Termination Event,” “Total Reserve,” “Yield Reserve,” or “Yield Reserve Percentage,” (H) amend or modify any defined term (or any defined term used directly or indirectly in such defined term) used in clauses (A) through (G) above in a manner that would circumvent the intention of the restrictions set forth in such clauses, or (I) otherwise materially and adversely affect the rights of any such Purchaser hereunder. No failure on the part of any party to exercise, and no delay in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.

Section 6.2. Notices, Etc. All notices and other communications hereunder shall, unless otherwise stated herein, be in writing (which shall include facsimile communication) and be sent or delivered to each party hereto (or in any Assumption Agreement pursuant to which it became a party hereto) at its address set forth under its name on the signature pages hereof or at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other parties hereto. Notices and communications by facsimile shall be effective when sent (and shall be followed by hard copy sent by first class mail), and notices and communications sent by other means shall be effective when received.

Section 6.3. Successors and Assigns; Participations; Assignments.

(a) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Except as otherwise provided herein, no party may assign or transfer any of its rights or delegate any of its duties hereunder or under any Transaction Document without the prior consent of the other parties.

(b) Participations. Any Purchaser may sell to one or more Eligible Assignees (each a “Participant”) participating interests in the interests of such Purchaser hereunder; provided, however, that no Purchaser shall grant any participation under which the Participant shall have rights to approve any amendment to or waiver of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. Such Purchaser shall remain solely responsible for performing its obligations hereunder, and the Seller, each Purchaser Agent and the Administrator shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Purchaser in connection with such Purchaser’s rights and obligations hereunder. A Purchaser shall not agree with a Participant to restrict such Purchaser’s right to agree to any amendment hereto, except amendments that require the consent of all Purchasers.

(c) Assignments by Certain Related Committed Purchasers. Any Related Committed Purchaser may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees (each a “Purchasing Related Committed Purchaser”), reasonably acceptable to the related Purchaser Agent in its sole discretion, any portion of its Commitment pursuant to a supplement hereto, substantially in the form of Annex D with any changes as have been approved by the parties thereto and the Seller (a ”Transfer Supplement”), executed by each such Purchasing Related Committed Purchaser, such selling Related Committed Purchaser, such related Purchaser Agent. Any such assignment by Related Committed Purchaser cannot be for an amount less than $10,000,000. Upon (i) the execution of

the Transfer Supplement, (ii) delivery of an executed copy thereof to the Seller, such related Purchaser Agent and the Administrator and (iii) payment by the Purchasing Related Committed Purchaser to the selling Related Committed Purchaser of the agreed purchase price, such selling Related Committed Purchaser shall be released from its obligations hereunder to the extent of such assignment and such Purchasing Related Committed Purchaser shall for all purposes be a Related Committed Purchaser party hereto and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Related Committed Purchaser hereunder to the same extent as if it were an original party hereto. The amount of the Commitment of the selling Related Committed Purchaser allocable to such Purchasing Related Committed Purchaser shall be equal to the amount of the Commitment of the selling Related Committed Purchaser transferred regardless of the purchase price paid therefor. The Transfer Supplement shall be an amendment hereof only to the extent necessary to reflect the addition of such Purchasing Related Committed Purchaser as a “Related Committed Purchaser” and any resulting adjustment of the selling Related Committed Purchaser’s Commitment.

(d) Replaceable Related Committed Purchaser. If any Related Committed Purchaser (a “Replaceable Related Committed Purchaser”) shall (i) petition the Seller for any amounts under Section 1.7 or 1.8 or (ii) cease to have a short-term debt rating of “A-1” by Standard & Poor’s and “P-1” by Moody’s (if such a rating is required by the related Purchaser’s securitization program), the related Purchaser Agent or the Administrator may designate an Eligible Assignee as a replacement financial institution (a “Replacement Related Committed Purchaser”), to which such Replaceable Related Committed Purchaser shall, subject to its receipt of an amount equal to the aggregate outstanding principal balance of its Capital and accrued and unpaid Discount thereon (and, if applicable, its receipt (unless a later date for the remittance thereof shall be agreed upon by the Seller and such Replaceable Related Committed Purchaser) of all amounts claimed under Section 1.7 and/or 1.8) promptly assign all of its rights, obligations and Commitment hereunder, together with all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Purchased Interest allocable to it, to the Replacement Related Committed Purchaser in accordance with Section 6.3(c), above. Once such assignment becomes effective, the Replacement Related Committed Purchaser shall be deemed to be a “Related Committed Purchaser” for all purposes hereof and such Replaceable Related Committed Purchaser shall cease to be “Related Committed Purchaser” for all purposes hereof and shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder.

(e) Assignment by Conduit Purchasers. Each party hereto agrees and consents (i) to any Conduit Purchaser’s assignment, participation, grant of security interests in or other transfers of any portion of or any of its beneficial interest in, the Purchased Interest (or portion thereof) with the consent of BPI, including without limitation to any collateral agent in connection with its commercial paper program; provided, however, that no consent of BPI shall be required if such assignment of, or participation or grant of security interest in, the Purchased Interest (or portion thereof) is made to the Purchaser Agent for such Conduit Purchaser, any Affiliate of such Purchaser Agent (other than a director or officer of such Purchaser Agent) or any Program Support Provider, or any other Person that is (x) in the business of issuing commercial paper or other Notes and (y) is associated with or administered by such Purchaser Agent or any Affiliate of such Purchaser Agent; and (ii) to the complete assignment by any Conduit Purchaser of all of its rights and obligations hereunder to any other Person acceptable to BPI, and upon such assignment such Conduit Purchaser shall be released from all obligations and duties, if any,

hereunder; provided, however, that with respect to clause (ii) above, such Conduit Purchaser may not, without the prior consent of its Related Committed Purchasers, make any such transfer of its rights hereunder unless the assignee (i) is principally engaged in the purchase of assets similar to the assets being purchased hereunder, (ii) has as its Purchaser Agent the Purchaser Agent of the assigning Conduit Purchaser and (iii) issues commercial paper or other Notes with credit ratings substantially comparable to the ratings of the assigning Conduit Purchaser. Any assigning Conduit Purchaser shall deliver to any assignee a supplement hereto, substantially in the form of Annex D with any changes as have been approved by the Seller and the parties thereto (also, a “Transfer Supplement”), duly executed by such Conduit Purchaser, assigning any portion of its interest in the Purchased Interest to its assignee. Such Conduit Purchaser shall promptly (i) notify each of the other parties hereto of such assignment and (ii) take all further action that the assignee reasonably requests in order to evidence the assignee’s right, title and interest in such interest in the Purchased Interest and to enable the assignee to exercise or enforce any rights of such Conduit Purchaser hereunder. Upon the assignment of any portion of its interest in the Purchased Interest, the assignee shall have all of the rights hereunder with respect to such interest (except that the Discount therefor shall thereafter accrue at the rate, determined with respect to the assigning Conduit Purchaser unless the Seller, the related Purchaser Agent and the assignee shall have agreed upon a different Discount).

(f) Opinions of Counsel. If required by the Administrator or the applicable Purchaser Agent or to maintain the ratings of any Conduit Purchaser, each Transfer Supplement must be accompanied by an opinion of counsel of the assignee as to such matters as the Administrator or such Purchaser Agent may reasonably request.

Section 6.4. Costs, Expenses and Taxes. (a) In addition to the rights of indemnification granted under Section 3.1, the Seller agrees to pay on demand (which demand shall be accompanied by documentation thereof in reasonable detail) all reasonable costs and expenses in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery and administration (including periodic internal audits by the Administrator of Pool Receivables but no more frequently than annually unless (x) a Termination Event or Unmatured Termination Event has occurred and is continuing or (y) in the opinion of the Administrator or any Purchaser Agent reasonable grounds for insecurity exist with respect to the collectibility of a material amount of the Pool Receivables or with respect to the Seller’s performance or ability to perform in any material respect its obligations under the Agreement) of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the other documents and agreements to be delivered hereunder (and all reasonable costs and expenses in connection with any amendment, waiver or modification of any thereof), including: (i) Attorney Costs for the Administrator, each Purchaser Group and their respective Affiliates and agents with respect thereto and with respect to advising the Administrator, each Purchaser Group and their respective Affiliates and agents as to their rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, and (ii) all reasonable costs and expenses (including Attorney Costs), if any, of the Administrator, each Purchaser Group and their respective Affiliates and agents in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

(b) In addition, the Seller shall pay on demand any and all stamp and other taxes and fees payable in connection with the execution, delivery, filing and recording of this Agreement or the other documents or agreements to be delivered hereunder, and agrees to save each Indemnified

Party harmless from and against any liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay in paying or omission to pay such taxes and fees.

Section 6.5. No Proceedings; Limitation on Payments. (a) Each of the Seller, BPI, the Servicer, the Administrator, the Purchaser Agents, the Purchasers, each assignee of the Purchased Interest or any interest therein, and each Person that enters into a commitment to purchase the Purchased Interest or interests therein, hereby covenants and agrees that it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, any Conduit Purchaser any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding, or other proceeding under any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and one day after the latest maturing Note issued by the Purchasers is paid in full. The provision of this Section 6.5 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding any provisions contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents to the contrary, each Conduit Purchaser shall not, and shall not be obligated to, pay any amount pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents unless (i) such Conduit Purchaser has received funds which may be used to make such payment and which funds are not required to repay the Notes when due and (ii) after giving effect to such payment, either (x) such Conduit Purchaser could issue Notes to refinance all outstanding Notes (assuming such outstanding Notes matured at such time) in accordance with the program documents governing such Conduit Purchaser’s securitization program or (y) all Notes are paid in full. Any amount which such Conduit Purchaser does not pay pursuant to the operation of the preceding sentence shall not constitute a claim (as defined in §101 of the Bankruptcy Code) against or corporate obligation of such Conduit Purchaser for any such insufficiency unless and until such Conduit Purchaser satisfies the provisions of clauses (i) and (ii) above.

Section 6.6. Confidentiality. Each of the Seller and the Servicer agrees to maintain the confidentiality of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (and all drafts thereof) in communications with third parties and otherwise; provided, that this Agreement may be disclosed: (a) to third parties to the extent such disclosure is made pursuant to a written agreement of confidentiality in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrator, (b) to the Seller’s legal counsel and auditors if they agree to hold it confidential and (c) as required by applicable law. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, each of the Administrator, each Purchaser Agent and each Purchaser agrees to maintain the confidentiality of non-public financial information regarding BPI, its Subsidiaries and Affiliates and KPMG LLP; provided, that such information may be disclosed to: (i) third parties to the extent such disclosure is made pursuant to a written agreement of confidentiality in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to BPI (and with respect to any information regarding KPMG LLP, reasonably satisfactory to KPMG LLP), (ii) legal counsel and auditors of each Purchaser Agent, each Purchaser or the Administrator if they agree to hold it confidential, (iii) the rating agencies rating the Notes to the extent such information relates to the Receivables Pool or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or if not so related, upon obtaining the prior consent of BPI and KPMG LLP if such information is regarding KPMG LLP (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), (iv) any Program Support Provider or potential Program Support Provider (if they agree to hold it confidential) to the extent such information relates to the Receivables Pool or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or if not so related, upon obtaining the prior consent of BPI and KPMG LLP if such information is regarding KPMG LLP (such consent not

to be unreasonably withheld), (v) any placement agent placing the Notes to the extent such information relates to the Receivables Pool or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or if not so related, upon obtaining the prior consent of BPI and KPMG LLP if such information is regarding KPMG LLP (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) and (vi) any regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over PNC, any Purchaser Agent, any Program Support Provider or any Purchaser. Notwithstanding any provisions herein or in any other Transaction Document, to the extent not inconsistent with applicable securities laws, each of parties hereto (and each party’s employees, representatives or other agents) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure (as such terms are defined in Section 1.6011-4 of the Treasury Regulations) contemplated by the Transaction Documents and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to such parties relating to such tax treatment and tax structure.

Section 6.7. GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION. (a) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A CONTRACT MADE UNDER AND GOVERNED BY THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (INCLUDING FOR SUCH PURPOSE SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK) EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT THE VALIDITY OR PERFECTION OF A SECURITY INTEREST OR REMEDIES HEREUNDER, IN RESPECT OF ANY PARTICULAR COLLATERAL ARE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF A JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

(b) ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK; AND, BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO CONSENTS, FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THOSE COURTS. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY OBJECTION, INCLUDING ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON THE GROUNDS OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN SUCH JURISDICTION IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENT RELATED HERETO. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF ANY SUMMONS, COMPLAINT OR OTHER PROCESS, WHICH SERVICE MAY BE MADE BY ANY OTHER MEANS PERMITTED BY NEW YORK LAW.

Section 6.8. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute one and the same agreement.

Section 6.9. Survival of Termination. The provisions of Sections 1.7, 1.8, 3.1, 3.2, 6.4, 6.5, 6.6, 6.7, 6.10 and 6.13 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

Section 6.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVES THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS

AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR OTHER LITIGATION OF ANY TYPE BROUGHT BY ANY OF THE PARTIES AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY OR PARTIES, WHETHER WITH RESPECT TO CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS OR OTHERWISE. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE TRIED BY A COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO FURTHER AGREES THAT ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IS WAIVED BY OPERATION OF THIS SECTION AS TO ANY ACTION, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER PROCEEDING THAT SEEKS, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, TO CHALLENGE THE VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY PROVISION HEREOF. THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT.

Section 6.11. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents embody the entire agreement and understanding between the parties hereto, and supersede all prior or contemporaneous agreements and understandings of such Persons, verbal or written, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

Section 6.12. Headings. The captions and headings of this Agreement and any Exhibit, Schedule or Annex hereto are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the interpretation hereof or thereof.

Section 6.13. Purchaser Groups’ Liabilities. The obligations of each Purchaser Agent and each Purchaser under the Transaction Documents are solely the corporate obligations of such Person. Except with respect to any claim arising out of the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Administrator, any Purchaser Agent or any Purchaser, no claim may be made by the Seller or the Servicer or any other Person against the Administrator, any Purchaser Agent or any Purchaser or their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, attorneys or agents for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages in respect of any claim for breach of contract or any other theory of liability arising out of or related to the transactions contemplated by the Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith; and each of Seller and Servicer hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue upon any claim for any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

Section 6.14. Call Option. The Seller shall have the right to repurchase the Purchased Interest from the Purchasers on any Settlement Date on the terms hereinafter set forth in this Section 6.14. The Seller shall give the Administrator and each Purchaser Agent at least five Business Days’ prior written notice of such repurchase and upon payment of the repurchase price for the Purchased Interest, as hereinafter provided, the Purchasers shall be deemed to have reconveyed the Purchased Interest to the Seller without recourse, representation or warranty except for a representation from the Purchasers that the Purchased Interest assigned is (or concurrently with the each Purchaser’s receipt of its ratable share such repurchase price shall become) free of any Adverse Claim created by the Purchasers. The Seller shall pay such repurchase price for the Purchased Interest in immediately available funds to the Administrator (for the benefit of Purchasers, the Purchaser Agents or the Administrator, as the case may be) in

an amount equal to the sum of (i) the Aggregate Discount on the Aggregate Capital related to the Purchased Interest accrued to and including the repurchase date, (ii) the Aggregate Capital in the Purchased Interest, (iii) the amounts payable pursuant to Sections 1.7, and 1.8, (of which the Seller has notice) related to the Purchased Interest accrued to and including the repurchase date, (iv) all other obligations that are then due and payable and (v) if BPI is not the Servicer, the Servicing Fee allocated to the Purchased Interest that has accrued to and including the repurchase date.

Section 6.15. Secured Lending. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the parties hereto intend that this Agreement constitutes a security agreement and the transactions effected hereby constitute secured loans by the Purchasers to the Seller under applicable laws and not a sale of the Purchased Interest.

Section 6.16. Notice of Termination of Liquidity Providers’ Commitments. Each Purchaser Agent shall use its reasonable efforts to give notice to the Seller and the Servicer, at least 25 days before the termination of the commitments of the Liquidity Providers, of any Liquidity Provider that has failed to renew its commitment under the Liquidity Agreement; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not prevent the occurrence of the Facility Termination Date or subject the Administrator, any Purchaser Agent, any Purchaser, any Program Support Provider or any of their Affiliates or subsidiaries to any liability for such failure.

Section 6.17. Sharing of Recoveries. Each Purchaser agrees that if it receives any recovery, through set-off, judicial action or otherwise, on any amount payable or recoverable hereunder in a greater proportion than should have been received hereunder or otherwise inconsistent with the provisions hereof, then the recipient of such recovery shall purchase for cash an interest in amounts owing to the other Purchasers (as return of Capital or otherwise), without representation or warranty except for the representation and warranty that such interest is being sold by each such other Purchaser free and clear of any Adverse Claim created or granted by such other Purchaser, in the amount necessary to create proportional participation by the Purchaser in such recovery. If all or any portion of such amount is thereafter recovered from the recipient, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

3. Separate Existence. Each of the Seller and the Servicer hereby acknowledges that the Purchasers, Purchaser Agents, the Liquidity Providers and the Administrator are entering into the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents in reliance upon the Seller’s identity as a legal entity separate from BPI, each Originator and their Affiliates. Therefore, from and after the date hereof, each of the Seller and the Servicer shall take all steps specifically required by the Agreement or reasonably required by the Administrator to continue the Seller’s identity as a separate legal entity and to make it apparent to third Persons that the Seller is an entity with assets and liabilities distinct from those of BPI, each Originator and any other Person, and is not a division of BPI, any Originator any of their Affiliates or any other Person. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and in addition to and consistent with the other covenants set forth herein, each of the Seller and the Servicer shall take such actions as shall be required in order that:

(a) The Seller will be a limited purpose corporation whose primary activities are restricted in its certificate of incorporation to: (i) purchasing or otherwise acquiring from BPI or each Originator (or its Affiliates), owning, holding, granting security interests or selling interests in Pool Assets (or other receivables originated by any Originator or its Affiliates, and certain related assets), (ii) entering into agreements for the selling and servicing of the Receivables Pool (or other receivables pools originated by any Originator or its Affiliates), and (iii) conducting such other activities as it deems necessary or appropriate to carry out its primary activities;

IV-9

(b) The Seller shall not engage in any business or activity, or incur any indebtedness or liability, other than as expressly permitted by the Transaction Documents;

(c) Not less than one member of the Seller’s Board of Directors (the “Independent Director”) shall be an individual who is not a direct, indirect or beneficial stockholder, officer, director, employee, affiliate, associate or supplier of BPI, any Originator or any of their Affiliates. The certificate of incorporation of the Seller shall provide that: (i) the Seller’s Board of Directors shall not approve, or take any other action to cause the filing of, a voluntary bankruptcy petition with respect to the Seller unless the Independent Director shall approve the taking of such action in writing before the taking of such action, and (ii) such provision cannot be amended without the prior written consent of the Independent Director;

(d) The Independent Director shall not at any time serve as a trustee in bankruptcy for the Seller, BPI, any Originator or any Affiliate thereof;

(e) Any employee, consultant or agent of the Seller will be compensated from the Seller’s funds for services provided to the Seller. The Seller will not engage any agents other than its attorneys, auditors and other professionals, and a servicer and any other agent contemplated by the Transaction Documents for the Receivables Pool, which servicer will be fully compensated for its services by payment of the Servicing Fee, and a manager, which manager will be fully compensated from the Seller’s funds;

(f) The Seller will contract with the Servicer to perform for the Seller all operations required on a daily basis to service the Receivables Pool. The Seller will pay the Servicer the Servicing Fee pursuant hereto. The Seller will not incur any material indirect or overhead expenses for items shared with BPI (or any other Affiliate thereof) that are not reflected in the Servicing Fee. To the extent, if any, that the Seller (or any Affiliate thereof) shares items of expenses not reflected in the Servicing Fee or the manager’s fee, such as legal, auditing and other professional services, such expenses will be allocated to the extent practical on the basis of actual use or the value of services rendered, and otherwise on a basis reasonably related to the actual use or the value of services rendered; it being understood that BPI shall pay all expenses relating to the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents, including legal, agency and other fees;

(g) The Seller’s operating expenses will not be paid by BPI, any Originator or any other Affiliate of BPI or any Originator;

(h) All of the Seller’s business correspondence and other communications shall be conducted in the Seller’s own name and on its own separate stationery;

(i) The Seller’s books and records will be maintained separately from those of BPI, each Originator and any other Affiliate of BPI or any Originator;

(j) All financial statements of BPI, each Originator or any Affiliate thereof that are consolidated to include Seller will contain detailed notes clearly stating that: (i) a

IV-10

special purpose corporation exists as a Subsidiary of BPI, and (ii) BearingPoint, LLC has sold receivables and other related assets to BPI, in turn has sold such receivables and receivables that BPI generates and other related rights to such special purpose Subsidiary that, in turn, has sold undivided interests therein to certain financial institutions and other entities;

(k) The Seller’s assets will be maintained in a manner that facilitates their identification and segregation from those of BPI, each Originator or any Affiliate of BPI or any Originator;

(l) The Seller will strictly observe corporate formalities in its dealings with BPI, each Originator or any Affiliate of BPI or any Originator, and funds or other assets of the Seller will not be commingled with those of BPI, any Originator or any Affiliate of BPI or any Originator except as permitted by the Agreement in connection with servicing the Pool Receivables. The Seller shall not maintain joint bank accounts or other depository accounts to which BPI, any Originator or any Affiliate of BPI or any Originator has independent access. The Seller is not named, and has not entered into any agreement to be named, directly or indirectly, as a direct or contingent beneficiary or loss payee on any insurance policy with respect to any loss relating to the property of BPI or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate of BPI. The Seller will pay to the appropriate Affiliate the marginal increase or, in the absence of such increase, the market amount of its portion of the premium payable with respect to any insurance policy that covers the Seller and such Affiliate;

(m) The Seller will maintain arm’s-length relationships with BPI, each Originator (and any Affiliate of BPI or any Originator). Any Person that renders or otherwise furnishes services to the Seller will be compensated by the Seller at market rates for such services it renders or otherwise furnishes to the Seller. Neither the Seller nor BPI will be or will hold itself out to be responsible for the debts of the other or the decisions or actions respecting the daily business and affairs of the other. The Seller and BPI will immediately correct any known misrepresentation with respect to the foregoing, and they will not operate or purport to operate as an integrated single economic unit with respect to each other or in their dealing with any other entity;

(n) BPI shall not pay the salaries of Seller’s employees, if any; and

(o) The Seller will take such other actions as are necessary on its part to ensure that the facts and assumptions set forth in the opinion issued by Sidley & Austin, as counsel for the Seller, in connection with the closing or initial purchase under this Agreement and relating to substantive consolidation issues remain true and correct in all material respect at all times.

7. Seller or Servicer to Maintain Perfection and Priority. In order to evidence the interests of the Administrator under this Agreement, the Seller or Servicer shall, from time to

VI-2

time take such action, or execute and deliver such instruments (other than filing financing statements) as may be necessary or advisable (including, without limitation, such actions as are requested by the Administrator on behalf of the Purchasers) to maintain and perfect, as a first-priority interest, the Administrator’s security interest (for the benefit of the Purchasers) in the Pool Assets. The Seller or Servicer shall, from time to time and within the time limits established by law, prepare and present to the Administrator for the Administrator’s authorization and approval all financing statements, amendments, continuations or initial financing statements in lieu of a continuation statement, or other filings necessary to continue, maintain and perfect the Administrator’s security interest (for the benefit of the Purchasers) in the Pool Assets as a first-priority interest. The Administrator’s approval of such filings shall authorize the Seller or Servicer to file such financing statements under the UCC without the signature of the Seller, BPI, any Originator or the Administrator where allowed by applicable law. Notwithstanding anything else in the Transaction Documents to the contrary, neither the Seller, the Servicer, nor any Originator, shall have any authority to file a termination, partial termination, release, partial release or any amendment that deletes the name of a debtor or excludes collateral of any such financing statements, without the prior written consent of the Administrator, on behalf of the Purchasers.
