Any Optional Reduction under this subsection (c) shall be applied pro rata among the Purchasers according to their Pro Rata Shares. The Seller shall indemnify any Purchaser for all losses, expenses and liabilities, if any (including, without limitation, any loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds required by any Purchaser in connection with such Purchaser's funding or maintenance of the Receivable Interests), which such 18 Purchaser may sustain as a result of any Optional Reduction pursuant to this subsection (c).

If, as a result of the Seller's decision to cease purchasing from any Originator all Receivables generated by an 19 Originator Division pursuant to this Section 2.01(f), the Required Purchasers determine, in their sole discretion, that the Events of Termination in Section 7.01(j) are no longer reasonable or protective, the Required Purchasers may modify the provisions of such Section 7.01(j) with the consent of the Seller (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(i) The Facility Termination Date shall be 364 days from the date hereof; provided, that the Facility Termination Date may be extended for an additional 364-day period at the end of each 364-day period from the date hereof if the Seller gives each Purchaser written notice not later than 90 days prior to each such annual anniversary (beginning with the first such period) and each Purchaser provides the Seller with its written consent to such extension not later than 60 days after receipt of the Seller's notice.

Each notice given by the Seller pursuant to subsection (a) above shall be irrevocable and binding on the Seller and the Seller shall indemnify each Purchaser against any loss or expense incurred by such Purchaser as a result of any failure by the Seller to accept the amount requested to be paid by such Purchaser, including, without limitation, any loss (including loss of anticipated profits) or expense incurred by such Purchaser by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of funds acquired or requested by such Purchaser to fund such requested amount. SECTION 2.03 Receivable Interest Percentage. (a) Each Receivable Interest shall be initially computed on its date of purchase. Thereafter, until the Reinvestment Termination Date for such Receivable Interest, such Receivable Interest shall be automatically recomputed (or deemed to be recomputed) on each day other than a Liquidation Day. Any Receivable Interest as computed (or deemed recomputed) as of the close of business on the day immediately succeeding the Reinvestment Termination Date for such Receivable Interest shall remain constant at all times after such Reinvestment Termination Date. Such Receivable Interest shall become zero when the Capital thereof, Yield thereon and all other amounts due and payable to the Purchasers and the Agent under and in connection with this Agreement shall have been paid in full and the Collection Agent (if not the Seller or an Affiliate thereof) shall have received the accrued Collection Agent Fee thereon. (b) If any Receivable Interest would otherwise be reduced on any day on account of newly arising Pool Receivables, the Purchasers may prevent such reduction by notifying the Collection Agent on such day that the Receivables Pool and the Net Receivables Pool Balance for such Receivable Interest will include, with respect to Receivables arising as Pool Receivables on such day, only such number or portion of such Receivables as shall cause such Receivable Interest to remain constant. The remainder of such Receivables or portion thereof shall be treated as Receivables arising on the next succeeding Business Day (subject to reapplication of this subsection (b)). (c) If any Investor Report indicates that the last day of the prior Settlement Period was a Mandatory Reduction Day, the Collection Agent shall promptly notify the Purchasers and the Seller and shall specify the Mandatory Reduction Amount. In addition, if on any Business Day the Seller knows such day to be a Mandatory Reduction Day, it shall promptly notify the Purchasers and the Collection Agent and shall specify the Mandatory Reduction Amount. On the Business Day next succeeding the Investor Report Date or such notification to the Purchasers and the Collection Agent, unless the Seller can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Purchasers that such day is not a Mandatory Reduction Day, the Seller shall pay to each Purchaser its full Mandatory Reduction Amount to the extent that the Mandatory Reduction Amount represents Collections which should have been set aside and held in the trust for such Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.04 hereof but were previously deemed to be reinvested on behalf of such Purchaser. If the full Mandatory Reduction Amount is not so paid, the 21 Collection Agent shall continue the suspension of the reinvestment of Collections on each Mandatory Reduction Day until such time that, after giving effect to the amount of Collections which are not reinvested in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.04(b)(ii) and the recomputation of the Receivable Interests pursuant to Section 2.03, the amount of the Aggregate Capital of such Purchaser on the day immediately preceding any Mandatory Reduction Day is reduced by an amount equal to the Mandatory Reduction Amount for such Mandatory Reduction Day. The Seller shall indemnify any Purchaser for all losses, expenses and liabilities, if any (including, without limitation, any loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds required by such Purchaser in connection with such Purchaser's funding or maintenance of the Receivable Interests), which such Purchaser may sustain as a result of any Mandatory Reduction.

(d) For the purposes of this Section 2.04: (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 merchandise or services, or any cash discount or other adjustment made by the Seller or an Originator, or any right of setoff is exercised by the Obligor thereunder, 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 either (w) any of the representations or warranties contained in Sections 4.01(h) or 4.01(n) are no longer true with respect to any Pool Receivable, (x) the Seller shall fail to perform or observe any term, covenant or agreement contained in Section 5.01(d), or (y) the Seller or any Originator or the Collection Agent (if Georgia-Pacific or an Affiliate thereof) shall extend, amend or otherwise modify the terms of any Pool Receivable, or amend, modify or waive the terms or conditions of the Contract under which such Pool Receivable arises in a manner which materially and adversely affects the collectibility of such 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 subsection (i) or (ii) of this Section 2.04(d), 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 order of the age of such Receivables, starting with the oldest such Receivable, unless such Obligor designates its payment for application to specific Receivables; and (iv) if and to the extent any Purchaser shall be required for any reason to pay over to an Obligor any amount received on its behalf hereunder, such amount shall be deemed not to have been so received but rather to have been retained by the Seller and, accordingly, such Purchaser 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.

The failure of any Purchaser to provide any such statement to the Seller or the Collection Agent shall not relieve the Seller of its obligations to pay such Purchaser's Yield or Pro Rata Share of such fees. SECTION 2.06 Payments and Computations, Etc. (a) All amounts to be paid or deposited by the Seller or the Collection Agent hereunder shall be paid or deposited no later than 3:00 P.M.

(b) The Seller shall, to the extent permitted by law, pay on demand from time to time interest on any amount not paid or deposited by the Seller or the Collection Agent when due hereunder at an interest rate per annum equal to 2% per annum above the Base Rate in effect from time to time; provided, however, that such interest rate shall not at any time exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. (c) All computations of interest under subsection (b) above and all computations of Yield, fees, and other amounts hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed. Whenever any payment or deposit to be made hereunder shall be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment or deposit shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of such payment or deposit. SECTION 2.07 Dividing or Combining Receivable Interests. The Seller may, on notice to and consent by a Purchaser received at least three Business Days prior to the last day of any Settlement Period, divide any Receivable Interest of such Purchaser into two or more Receivable Interests having aggregate Capital equal to the Capital of such divided Receivable Interest.

(a) If, after the date hereof, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change therein, including Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Purchaser or any Person controlling any thereof, any permitted assignee under this Agreement or any Person maintaining any liquidity, purchase or credit enhancement facility for any Purchaser (each of which being an "Affected Party") with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, (A) shall subject an Affected Party to any tax (except for taxes on the overall net income of such Affected Party), duty or other charge with respect to the Receivable Interests or any right to make purchases, or shall change the basis of taxation of payments to an Affected Party of its Capital or Yield or any other amounts due under this Agreement in respect of its Capital or its rights, if any, to make purchases; or (B) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve requirement (including, without limitation, any reserve requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, but excluding any reserve requirement, if any, included in the determination of Yield), special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Affected Party; or (C) shall impose any other condition affecting the Receivable Interests or the Purchaser's rights, if any, to make purchases; and the result of any of the foregoing is (i) to increase the cost to, or, in the case of Regulation D referred to above, to impose a cost on an Affected Party funding or making or maintaining any Receivable Interest, or (ii) to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by an Affected Party under this Agreement with respect thereto, then within ten days after demand by such Affected Party (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand), the Seller shall pay directly to such Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Party for such additional or increased cost incurred or such reduction suffered. (b) If an Affected Party shall reasonably determine that the adoption of any applicable law, rule, regulation, directive or guideline regarding capital adequacy, or any change in or phase-in of any applicable law, rule, regulation, directive or guideline or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by an Affected Party with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of any Affected Party as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or arising in 26 connection herewith to a level below that which any such Affected Party could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration the policies of such Affected Party with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Affected Party to be material, then from time to time, within ten days after demand by such Affected Party, the Seller shall pay to such Affected Party such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Affected Party for such reduction. (c) Each Affected Party will promptly notify the Seller of any event of which it has knowledge occurring after the date hereof which will entitle such Affected Party to compensation pursuant to this Section 2.08. If an Affected Party fails to give such notice within 90 days after it obtains actual knowledge of such event and such result, such Affected Party shall be entitled to compensation pursuant to this Section 2.08 only to the extent such additional amount or reduction accrues on or after the date 90 days prior to the date on which such Affected Party gives such notice. (d) In determining any amount provided for in this Section 2.08, the Affected Party may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. Any Affected Party making a claim under this Section 2.08 shall submit to the Seller a certificate as to such additional or increased cost or reduction, which certificate shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error; provided, that the failure to deliver any such certificate shall not affect the Affected Party's right to payment hereunder unless notice as required by Section 2.08(c) has not been given. SECTION 2.09 Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Purchaser shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff, or otherwise) on account of Pool Receivables covered by a Receivable Interest (other than pursuant to Section 2.08) in excess of payments on account of Pool Receivables allocable to such Receivable Interest, such Purchaser shall forthwith purchase from the other Purchasers such participations in the Pool Receivables as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Purchaser to share the excess payment ratably with each of them, provided, however, that if all or any portion of each excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Purchaser, such purchase from each Purchaser shall be rescinded and such Purchaser shall repay to the purchasing Purchaser the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to each Purchaser's Pro Rata Share of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Purchaser in respect of the total amount so recovered. SECTION 2.10 Effect of Early Payments. In the event any Purchaser: (i) has the Capital of a Receivable Interest reduced without compliance by the Seller with the notice requirements hereunder or (ii) does not become subject to a Mandatory Reduction or an Optional Reduction upon the occurrence of a Mandatory Reduction Day or an Optional Reduction Day, then the Seller agrees to pay to the relevant Purchaser an amount equal to the excess, if any, of: (A) Yield that would have accrued during the remainder of the Settlement Period or the tranche periods for Notes determined by such Purchaser to relate to such Receivable Interest (as applicable) subsequent to the date of such reduction (or in 27 respect of clause (ii) above, the date such Mandatory Reduction or Optional Reduction took effect pursuant to the occurrence of a Mandatory Reduction Day or an Optional Reduction Day) on such Capital if such reduction or such Mandatory Reduction Day or Optional Reduction Day had not occurred, over (B) the income, if any, actually received during the remainder of such period by such Purchaser from investing the amount received as a reduction of such Capital, in accordance with such Purchaser's normal investment policies.

On or before 15 months from the execution date of this Agreement and annually thereafter, the Administrative Agent or a firm of nationally recognized independent certified public accountants (who may render other services to the Collection Agent or the Seller) shall, on an alternating annual basis, furnish a report (which report shall cover, initially, the period from the date of this Agreement to June 30, 2000, and thereafter the 12-month period ending on June 30 of each subsequent year) to each Purchaser to the effect that they have applied the procedures described in Schedule VIII and examined certain documents and records relating to the servicing of the Pool Receivables under this Agreement and that, based upon such procedures, nothing has come to the attention of the Administrative Agent or 39 such accountants, as the case may be, that caused them to believe that the servicing (including, without limitation, the allocation of the Collections) has not been conducted in compliance with the terms of this agreement, except for such exceptions as they believe to be immaterial and such other exceptions as shall be set forth in such statement, and in addition, each report shall set forth the procedures performed. Any reasonable costs incurred by the Administrative Agent or such accountants in connection with the preparation and furnishing of such report shall be paid by the Seller promptly upon receipt by the Seller of an invoice therefor. (x) Separate Entity. The Seller hereby acknowledges that the Purchasers are entering into the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in reliance upon the Seller's identity as a separate legal entity from Georgia-Pacific or any affiliate of Georgia-Pacific (a "GP Entity"). Therefore, from and after the date of execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Seller shall take all reasonable steps, including, without limitation, all steps that the Purchasers may from time to time reasonably request, to maintain the Seller's identity as a separate legal entity with assets and liabilities distinct from those of any other GP Entity and not just a division of any GP Entity. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and in addition to and consistent with the covenant set forth above, the Seller shall: (i) require that all full-time employees of the Seller identify themselves as such and not as employees of any GP Entity (including, without limitation, by means of providing appropriate employees with business identification cards identifying such employees as the Seller's employees); (ii) compensate all employees, consultants and agents directly, from the Seller's bank accounts, for services provided to the Seller by such employees, consultants and agents and, to the extent any employee, consultant or agent of the Seller is also an employee, consultant or agent of any GP Entity, allocate the compensation of such employee, consultant or agent between the Seller and such GP Entity on a basis which reflects the services rendered to the Seller and such GP Entity; (iii) allocate all overhead expenses (including, without limitation, telephone and other utility charges) for items shared between the Seller and any GP Entity on the basis of actual use to the extent practicable and, to the extent such allocation is not practicable, on a basis reasonably related to actual use; (iv) at all times have at least one member of its Board of Directors who is not (A) a director, officer, employee or affiliate of any GP Entity, (B) a direct or indirect legal or beneficial owner of more than one percent (1%) of the capital stock of any GP Entity, (C) a creditor, supplier, employee, officer, director, member of the immediate family, manager or contractor of any GP Entity, or (D) a person who controls (whether directly, indirectly or otherwise) any GP Entity or any creditor, supplier, employee, officer, director, manager or contractor of any GP Entity (such member, an "Independent Director"); provided, however, that a member of the Board of Directors who otherwise meets the description of an Independent Director shall not be disqualified from serving as an Independent 40 Director if he or she is also an independent director of another corporation that is a GP Entity with a certificate or articles of incorporation substantially similar to the certificate of incorporation of the Seller; (v) ensure that all corporate actions are duly authorized by unanimous vote of its Board of Directors; (vi) maintain the Seller's books and records separate from those of any GP Entity; (vii) prepare its financial statements separately from those of other GP Entities and insure that any consolidated financial statements of any GP Entity that include the Seller have detailed notes clearly stating that the Seller is a separate corporate entity and that its assets will be available first and foremost to satisfy the claims of its creditors; (viii) not commingle funds or other assets of the Seller with those of any other GP Entity and not maintain bank accounts or other depository accounts to which any GP Entity is an account party, into which any GP Entity makes deposits or from which any GP Entity has the power to make withdrawals; (ix) not permit any GP Entity to pay any of the Seller's operating expenses (except pursuant to allocation arrangements that comply with the requirements of subparagraph (iii) of this Section 5.01(x)); and (x) not permit the Seller to be named as an insured on the insurance policy covering the property of any GP Entity, or enter into an agreement with the holder of such policy whereby in the event of a loss in connection with such property, proceeds are paid to the Seller. (y) Coverage Ratio. The Seller shall not permit at any time the Receivable Interests of any Purchaser to exceed such Purchaser's Pro Rata Share or the aggregate Receivable Interest of all of the Purchasers to exceed 100%. (z) Year 2000 Compliance. No later than November 30, 1999, all computer applications, which are related to or involved in the origination, collection, management or servicing of the Pool Receivables will be able to perform properly date-sensitive functions for all dates before, during and/or after January 1, 2000, except to the extent that a failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on (i) the business, assets, financial condition or operations of the Seller or any Originator or (ii) the ability of the Seller or any Originator to perform its respective obligations under this Agreement or any Transfer Agreement, respectively. (aa) Name Change. The Seller shall not change its name, except upon 45 Business Days' prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Purchaser and the taking of all action required by Section 6.05(a). 41 ARTICLE VI. ADMINISTRATION AND COLLECTION SECTION 6.01 Designation of Collection Agent. The administration and collection of the Pool Receivables shall be conducted by such Person (the "Collection Agent") so designated from time to time in accordance with this Section 6.01. Georgia-Pacific is hereby designated as, and hereby agrees to perform the duties and obligations of, the Collection Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The Purchasers may at any time designate as Collection Agent any Person (including a Purchaser or a Secondary Purchaser) to succeed Georgia-Pacific or any successor Collection Agent, if such Person shall consent and agree to the terms hereof. Unless the Required Purchasers determine in their sole discretion that it would be impractical or inadvisable to do so, the Purchasers shall give the Seller and the Collection Agent at least five Business Days' notice of any such designation. The Collection Agent may, with the prior consent of the Purchasers, subcontract with any other Person for the administration and collection of all or a significant portion of the Pool Receivables; provided, that the Collection Agent may, so long as it is Georgia-Pacific, subcontract with an Originator for the administration and collection of the Pool Receivables without the consent of the Purchasers; provided, further, that Georgia-Pacific may, without the consent of the Purchasers, subcontract with any other Person for the administration and collection of Pool Receivables as authorized by the Credit and Collection Policy. Any such subcontract shall not affect the Collection Agent's liability for performance of its duties and obligations pursuant to the terms hereof. SECTION 6.02 Duties of Collection Agent. (a) The Collection Agent shall take or cause to be taken all such actions as may be necessary or advisable to collect each Pool Receivable from time to time, all in accordance with applicable laws, rules and regulations, with reasonable care and diligence, and in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy. Each of the Seller, each Purchaser and the Administrative Agent hereby appoints the Collection Agent, from time to time designated pursuant to Section 6.01 hereof, as agent for itself and for the owners of Receivable Interests to enforce their respective rights and interests in the Pool Receivables, the Related Security and the related Contracts. (b) The Collection Agent shall administer the Collections in accordance with the procedures described herein and in Section 2.04. The Collection Agent shall set aside and hold in trust for the account of the Seller and each Purchaser, their respective shares of the Collections of Pool Receivables in accordance with Section 2.04 but shall not be required, except either upon the request of the Administrative Agent acting at the direction of the Required Purchasers or upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Termination or a Potential Termination Event, to segregate the funds constituting each Purchaser's share of such Collections from the general funds of the Collection Agent or the Seller prior to the remittance thereof in accordance with Section 2.04. If the Collection Agent shall be required to segregate Collections pursuant to the proceeding sentence, the Collection Agent shall segregate and deposit with a bank (which may be Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, Citibank, N.A. or Bank One, NA (Chicago Office)) designated by each Purchaser such allocable share of Collections of 42 Pool Receivables set aside for such Purchaser on the first Business Day following receipt by the Collection Agent of such Collections. (c) If no Event of Termination or Potential Termination Event shall have occurred, the Collection Agent, may, in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy, extend the maturity or adjust the Outstanding Balance of any Receivable as the Collection Agent deems appropriate to maximize Collections in respect thereof; provided, that the extension or adjustment by the Collection Agent of a Receivable which is a Defaulted Receivable or a Delinquent Receivable shall not change the status of such Receivable for purposes of this Agreement. (d) The Collection Agent shall hold in trust for the Seller and the Purchasers, in accordance with their respective interests, all Records that evidence or relate to Pool Receivables and shall, as soon as practicable upon demand of the Administrative Agent acting at the direction of the Required Purchasers, deliver or make available to the Administrative Agent all Records in its possession which evidence or relate to Pool Receivables. (e) The Collection Agent, shall as soon as practicable following receipt thereof, turn over to the Seller (i) that portion of Collections of Pool Receivables representing the Seller's undivided fractional ownership interest therein, less all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Collection Agent of servicing, administering and collecting the Pool Receivables to the extent not covered by the Collection Agent Fee received by it, and (ii) any cash collections or other cash proceeds received with respect to Receivables not constituting Pool Receivables. (f) The Collection Agent shall, from time to time at the request of a Purchaser, furnish to such Purchaser (promptly after any such request) a calculation of the amounts set aside for such Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.04 hereof. (g) On or prior to each Investor Report Date, the Collection Agent shall prepare and forward to each Purchaser and the Administrative Agent (i) an Investor Report relating to each Receivable Interest outstanding on the immediately preceding Settlement Date, and (ii) if requested by a Purchaser, a listing by Obligor of all Pool Receivables outstanding on such Settlement Date, together with an analysis of the aging of such Pool Receivables by Obligor and such additional information as may be reasonably requested by such Purchaser. Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Termination or a Potential Termination Event, the Collection Agent will use its best efforts to provide the Purchasers and the Administrative Agent with the information in clauses (i) and (ii) above on a more frequent basis if reasonably requested by the Required Purchasers. Following an Event of Termination or a Potential Termination Event, the Collection Agent will provide the Purchasers and the Administrative Agent with the information in clauses (i) and (ii) above on a more frequent basis if required by the Required Purchasers. (h) The Collection Agent will, to the extent permitted by applicable law and with respect to any amount not paid by the Collection Agent when required to be paid hereunder, pay on demand interest to each Purchaser at a rate per annum equal to 43 2% above the Base Rate, provided, however, that such interest rate will not at any time exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. (i) The Collection Agent's authorization under this Agreement will terminate after the Facility Termination Date, upon payment in full of all amounts payable to the Purchasers and the Collection Agent under this Agreement. SECTION 6.03 Rights of the Administrative Agent. (a) Upon five days notice to the Seller, unless the Required Purchasers determine in their sole discretion that it would be impracticable or inadvisable to give such notice, the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Required Purchasers is authorized at any time to date and to deliver to the Lock-Box Banks, the Lock-Box Notices, to the Depositary Banks, the Depositary Notices and to the Concentration Banks, the Concentration Notices delivered hereunder. The Seller hereby transfers to the Administrative Agent, effective when the Administrative Agent delivers such Lock-Box Notices, such Depositary Notices or such Concentration Notices, as the case may be, the exclusive ownership and control of such Lock-Box Accounts, such Depositary Accounts or such Concentration Accounts. The Seller shall, and shall cause each Originator to, take any actions reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to effect such transfer. In case any authorized signatory of the Seller or any Originator whose signature appears on a Lock-Box Notice, a Depositary Notice or a Concentration Notice shall cease to have such authority before the delivery of such Lock-Box Notice, such Depositary Notice or a Concentration Notice, such signature shall nevertheless be valid as if such authority had remained in force. The Administrative Agent at the direction of the Required Purchasers may notify the Obligors of Pool Receivables, at any time and at the Seller's expense, of the ownership of Receivable Interests under this Agreement and may also direct that payments of all amounts due or that become due under any or all Receivables be made directly to the Administrative Agent or its designee. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall, upon the direction of the Required Purchasers, be entitled to take all such actions as it deems necessary or advisable to exercise dominion and control over the collection and servicing of the Pool Receivables including such action as shall be necessary or desirable to cause all cash, checks and other instruments constituting Collections of Pool Receivables to come into the possession of the Administrative Agent rather than the Seller. Unless the Required Purchasers determine in their sole discretion that it would be impractical or inadvisable to do so, the Purchasers must give the Seller five days prior notice of any such action. (b) At any time following the designation of a Collection Agent other than Georgia-Pacific pursuant to Section 6.01: (i) The Administrative Agent may, and at the direction of the Required Purchasers shall, direct the Obligors of Pool Receivables that all payments thereunder be made directly to the Administrative Agent or its designee. (ii) The Seller shall, and shall cause each Originator to, at the Administrative Agent's request and at the expense of the Seller and the 44 Originators, notify each Obligor of Pool Receivables of the ownership of Receivable Interests under this Agreement and direct that payments be made directly to the Administrative Agent or a designee of the Administrative Agent approved by the Required Purchasers. (iii) The Seller shall, and shall cause each Originator to, at the Administrative Agent's request (which shall be at the direction of the Required Purchasers) and at the expense of the Seller and the Originators, (A) assemble all of the Records that evidence or relate to the Pool Receivables, and the related Contracts and Related Security, or that are otherwise necessary or desirable to collect the Pool Receivables, and shall make the same available to the Administrative Agent or its designee, at a place selected by the Administrative Agent, and (B) segregate all cash, checks and other instruments received by it from time to time constituting Collections of Pool Receivables in a manner acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Required Purchasers and, promptly upon receipt, remit all such cash, checks and instruments, duly endorsed or with duly executed instruments of transfer, to the Administrative Agent or its designee. (iv) The Seller hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to take any and all steps in the Seller's name and on behalf of the Seller that are necessary or desirable, in the determination of the Administrative Agent and the Required Purchasers, to collect amounts due under the Pool Receivables, including, without limitation, endorsing the Seller's name on checks and other instruments representing Collections of Pool Receivables and enforcing the Pool Receivables and the Related Security and related Contracts. SECTION 6.04 Responsibilities of the Seller. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding: (a) The Seller shall, and shall cause each Originator to, perform its obligations under the Contracts related to the Pool Receivables to the same extent as if Receivable Interests and Receivables had not been sold and the exercise by the Administrative Agent and by the Purchasers of their rights hereunder shall not release the Collection Agent, the Seller or any Originator from any of their duties or obligations with respect to any Pool Receivables or under the related Contracts; and (b) Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Purchasers shall have any obligation or liability with respect to any Pool Receivables or related Contracts, nor shall any of them be obligated to perform the obligations of the Seller or any Originator thereunder. SECTION 6.05 Further Actions Evidencing Purchases. (a) The Seller shall, and shall cause each Originator to, from time to time, at their expense, promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further actions, that may be necessary or desirable, or that the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser may reasonably request, to perfect, protect or 45 more fully evidence the Receivable Interests purchased hereunder, or to enable any Purchaser or the Administrative Agent to exercise and enforce their respective rights and remedies hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, the Seller and each Originator will upon the request of any Purchaser or the Administrative Agent (i) execute and file such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto, and such other instruments and documents, that may be necessary or desirable, or that any Purchaser or the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, to perfect, protect or evidence such Receivable Interests; (ii) mark conspicuously each invoice evidencing each Pool Receivable and the related Contract with a legend, acceptable to the Purchasers, evidencing that Receivable Interests therein have been sold; and (iii) mark its master data processing records evidencing such Pool Receivables and related Contracts with a legend, acceptable to the Purchasers, evidencing that Receivable Interests therein have been sold; provided that the actions specified in clauses (ii) and (iii) may be directed by the Required Purchasers or the Administrative Agent only upon the occurrence of an Event of Termination or a Potential Termination Event. (b) The Seller authorizes the Administrative Agent to file financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, relating to the Pool Receivables and the Related Security, the related Contracts and the Collections with respect thereto without the signature of the Seller where permitted by law. A photocopy or other reproduction of this Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement where permitted by law. (c) If the Collection Agent fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder, any Purchaser or the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be required to) perform, or cause performance of, such obligation; and such Purchaser's or the Administrative Agent's costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the Seller (if the Collection Agent that fails to so perform is Georgia-Pacific or an Affiliate thereof) as provided in Section 8.01 or Section 9.04, as applicable. SECTION 6.06 Collection Agent Fee. The Collection Agent shall be paid a collection fee (the "Collection Agent Fee") of 1% per annum on the average daily amount of the Total Aggregate Capital payable monthly in arrears on each Settlement Date. The Collection Agent Fee shall be payable only from Collections pursuant to, and subject to the priority of payment set forth in, Section 2.04. ARTICLE VII. EVENTS OF TERMINATION SECTION 7.01 Events of Termination. If any of the following events ("Events of Termination") shall occur and be continuing: (a) The Seller or the Collection Agent (if Georgia-Pacific or an Affiliate thereof) shall fail (i) to perform or observe any term, covenant or agreement hereunder (other than as referred to in clause (ii) and (iii) of this subsection (a) or in Sections 5.01(c), 5.01(j) or 5.01(m)) and such failure shall remain unremedied for three Business Days or (ii) to make any payment or deposit required hereunder on the first Business Day after the due date thereof or (iii) to perform or observe any term, covenant or 46 agreement contained in Section 5.01(y) hereof and such failure shall remain unremedied for two Business Days;

provided, however, that with respect to any Originator the amount of such Debt is at least $75,000,000; or (g) Any purchase or any reinvestment pursuant hereto shall for any reason (other than pursuant to the terms hereof) cease to create, or any Receivable Interest shall for any reason cease to be, a valid and perfected first priority undivided percentage ownership interest in Receivables to the extent of any Purchaser's Receivable Interest in each applicable Pool Receivable and the Related Security and Collections with respect thereto, or this Agreement shall for any reason cease to evidence the transfer to a Purchaser (or its assignees or transferees) of legal and equitable right, title and interest to, and ownership of, an undivided percentage ownership interest in any Pool Receivable to the extent of such Purchaser's Receivable Interest or cease to 47 evidence in any Purchaser legal and equitable title to, and ownership of, an undivided percentage ownership interest in such Receivable and the Related Security and Collection to the extent of the Receivable Interest of such Purchaser, except as may be limited by applicable law with respect to the Related Security and with respect to Pool Receivables of Government Obligors;

or (k) There shall have occurred any material adverse change in the financial condition or operations of Georgia-Pacific and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, as they existed as of July 3, 1999; or there shall have occurred any event which has a reasonable likelihood of having a material adverse effect on the collectibility of the Pool Receivables generally or any significant portion of the Pool Receivables or the ability of the Seller, any Originator or the Collection Agent to perform its duty to collect Pool Receivables generally or otherwise perform its respective obligations hereunder or under any Transfer Agreements or under any Consent and Acknowledgment; or 48 (l) The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation shall file a notice of lien pursuant to Section 4068 of ERISA with regard to any of the assets of the Seller or any ERISA Affiliate, and such liens have not been suspended or have not been bonded in the full amount thereof and are not being contested in good faith by the Seller or such ERISA Affiliate; provided, however, that with respect to any Originator, the amount of such lien shall be greater than $50,000,000; or (m) Georgia-Pacific shall fail to maintain long-term senior unsecured debt ratings of at least BBB- by S&P and at least Baa3 by Moody's; or (n) There shall have occurred a change of control of the Seller or any Originator; provided, however, that a change of control of an Originator shall not be an Event of Termination if after such change of control Georgia-Pacific indirectly controls such Originator. A "change of control" shall mean the failure of Georgia-Pacific to own directly or indirectly, with respect to the Seller, 100% or, with respect to any Originator, at least 50% of either of the then outstanding common shares of the Seller or any Originator or the combined voting rights of the then outstanding voting securities of the Seller or any Originator, as the case may be; or (o) The failure of the Seller and the Required Purchasers to agree on the amendment of subsection (j) of this Section 7.01 as contemplated by Section 2.01(e) upon the Seller's decision to cease purchasing Receivables from any Originator, by Section 2.01(f) upon the Seller's decision to cease purchasing Receivables from any Originator Division, by Section 2.01(g) upon the Seller's decision to commence purchasing Receivables from any Originator Division and by Section 2.01(h) upon the sale by Georgia-Pacific of the stock of any Originator, in each case after the expiration of a period of 30 days after such cessation or such sale; or (p) The occurrence or declaration of an "Event of Termination" under the Secondary Purchase Agreement, unless the same shall be cured or waived; or (q) The occurrence or declaration of an "Event of Termination" under any Transfer Agreement, unless the same shall be cured or waived with the consent of all of the Purchasers; then, and in any such event, at the direction of the Required Purchasers, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Seller, designate another Person to succeed Georgia-Pacific as the Collection Agent, subject to the approval of the Purchasers; provided, that automatically upon the occurrence of any event (without any requirement for the passage of time or the giving of notice) described in subsection (i) of this Section 7.01, the Termination Date shall occur. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Termination, the Purchasers and the Administrative Agent shall have, in addition to the rights and remedies which they may have under this Agreement, all other rights and remedies provided after default under the UCC and under other applicable law, which rights and remedies shall be cumulative. 49 ARTICLE VIII. INDEMNIFICATION SECTION 8.01 Indemnities by the Seller. Without limiting any other rights that the Administrative Agent or the Purchasers or any Affiliate thereof and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents (each, an "Indemnified Party") may have hereunder or under applicable law, the Seller hereby agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Party from and against any and all claims, losses and liabilities (including reasonable attorneys fees and expenses) (all of the foregoing being collectively referred to as "Indemnified Amounts") arising out of or resulting from this Agreement or the use of proceeds of purchases or reinvestments or the ownership of Receivable Interests or in respect of any Receivable or any Contract, excluding, however, (a) Indemnified Amounts to the extent resulting from gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Indemnified Party, (b) recourse for uncollectible Receivables (except to the extent the Buyer has recourse against the Seller with respect to such Receivable on grounds other than the noncollectability of the Receivable) or (c) except as set forth below, any income taxes incurred by such Indemnified Party arising out of or as a result of this Agreement or the ownership of Receivable Interests or in respect of any Receivable or any Contract. Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, the Seller shall pay on demand to each Indemnified Party any and all amounts necessary to indemnify such Indemnified Party from and against any and all Indemnified Amounts relating to or resulting from any of the following: (i) the creation of a Receivable Interest in any Pool Receivable which is not at the date of the creation of such Receivable Interest an Eligible Receivable; (ii) reliance on any representation or warranty made or deemed made by the Seller or any Originator (or any of their respective Responsible Officers) or any statement made by any Responsible Officer of the Seller or any Originator under or in connection with this Agreement which shall have been incorrect when made; (iii) the failure by the Seller or any Originator to comply with any applicable law, rule or regulation; (iv) the failure to vest in a Purchaser an undivided percentage ownership interest, to the extent of such Purchaser's Receivable Interest, in the Receivables (including, without limitation, Receivables of Government Obligors) in, or purporting to be in, the Receivables Pool and the Related Security and Collections in respect thereof, free and clear of any Adverse Claim other than as authorized hereunder; (v) the failure to vest in the Seller all right, title and interest in the Receivables purchased by the Seller from any Originator pursuant to a Transfer Agreement, free and clear of any Adverse Claim other than as authorized hereunder; 50 (vi) the failure to have filed, or any delay in filing, financing statements or other similar instruments or documents under the UCC of any applicable jurisdiction, under applicable law with respect to the assignment of Receivables of Government Obligors or other applicable laws with respect to any Receivables in, or purporting to be in, the Receivables Pool and the Related Security and Collections in respect thereof, whether at the time of any purchase or reinvestment or at any subsequent time; (vii) 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, without limitation, 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 merchandise or service related to such Receivable or the furnishing or failure to furnish such merchandise or services; (viii) any failure of the Seller or the Collection Agent (if Georgia-Pacific or an Affiliate thereof), to perform their respective duties or obligations in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; (ix) any products liability claim arising out of or in connection with merchandise, insurance or services which are the subject of any Contract; (x) any loss incurred by any Purchaser as a result of the Outstanding Balance of all Pool Receivables from the same Obligor, expressed as a percentage of the aggregate Outstanding Balance of Eligible Receivables, being in excess of the Concentration Limit or, if applicable, Special Concentration Limit for such Obligor; (xi) the commingling of Collections of Pool Receivables at any time with other funds; (xii) any action or omission by the Seller or the Collection Agent (if Georgia-Pacific or an Affiliate thereof) reducing or impairing the rights of a Purchaser with respect to any Pool Receivable or the value of any Pool Receivable, except in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy; (xiii) any failure of the Seller to give reasonably equivalent value to any Originator in consideration of the transfer by such Originator to the Seller of any Receivables, or any attempt by any Person to void any such transfer under statutory provisions or common law or equitable action, including, without limitation, any provision of the Bankruptcy Code; (xiv) any reductions in the amount of a Pool Receivable the Obligor of which is a Government Obligor, and the Related Security and Collections with respect thereto, as the result of appropriation by the government or the inability to collect any amount from a Government Obligor; 51 (xv) any inability to collect the full Outstanding Balance of a Pool Receivable which was entitled to an Administrative Priority as a result of the Obligor's bankruptcy and which was included as an Eligible Receivable as a result of such Administrative Priority; (xvi) any investigation, litigation or proceeding related to or arising from this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby, the use of the proceeds of the Purchase, the ownership of the Receivable Interests or any Pool Receivable, Related Security or Contract or any other investigation, litigation or proceeding relating to the Seller or any Originator in which any Indemnified Party becomes involved as a result of any of the transactions contemplated hereby; (xvii) all losses, expenses and liabilities, if any (including, without limitation, any loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by any Purchaser in connection with such Purchaser's funding or maintenance of the Receivable Interests) which such Purchaser may sustain as the result of the termination or reduction of any Receivable Interest or the failure by the Seller or the Collection Agent (if Georgia-Pacific or an Affiliate thereof) to make any payment of Capital when due; (xviii) any inability to litigate any claim against any Obligor in respect of any Pool Receivable as a result of such Obligor being immune from civil and commercial law and suit on the grounds of sovereignty or otherwise from any legal action, suit or proceeding; (xix) any Event of Termination described in clause (i) of Section 7.01; (xx) a Year 2000 Problem with respect to hardware or software systems used by the Seller or the Collection Agent; or (xxi) any loss incurred by any Purchaser on any Pool Receivable of a Government Obligor. SECTION 8.02 Contribution. If for any reason the indemnification provided above in Section 8.01 (and subject to the exceptions set forth therein) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or is insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless, then the Seller shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by such Indemnified Party on the one hand and the Seller on the other hand but also the relative fault of such Indemnified Party as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. ARTICLE IX. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT SECTION 9.01 Authorization and Action. Each Purchaser hereby appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its 52 behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of any Purchaser, the Required Purchasers or all of the Purchasers (and all references in this Agreement to the "Purchasers" shall be deemed to mean "all of the Purchasers") as provided by this Agreement and such instructions shall be binding upon all parties hereto and all assignees of the Purchasers; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes the Administrative Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law. The Administrative Agent agrees to give to each Purchaser prompt notice of each notice given to it by the Seller, or by it to the Seller, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The appointment and authority of the Administrative Agent hereunder shall terminate at the later to occur of (i) the payment to (A) each Purchaser of its Aggregate Capital, accrued and unpaid Yield and all other amounts due to such Purchaser hereunder and (B) the Administrative Agent of all amounts due hereunder and (ii) the Facility Termination Date. SECTION 9.02 UCC Filings. The Purchasers and the Seller expressly recognize and agree that the Administrative Agent may be listed as the assignee or secured party of record on the various UCC filings required to be made hereunder in order to perfect the transfer of the Receivable Interests from the Seller to the Purchasers, that such listing shall be for administrative convenience only in creating a record or nominee owner to take certain actions hereunder on behalf of the Purchasers and that such listing will not affect in any way the status of the Purchasers as the beneficial owners of the Receivable Interests. In addition, such listing shall impose no duties on the Administrative Agent other than those expressly and specifically undertaken in accordance with the provisions of this Article IX. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Purchaser shall be entitled to enforce its rights created under this Agreement without the need to conduct such enforcement through the Administrative Agent except as provided herein. SECTION 9.03 Administrative Agent's Reliance, Etc. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with this Agreement, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent (i) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Seller), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (ii) makes no warranty or representation to any Person and shall not be responsible to any Person for any statements, warranties or representations (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with this Agreement; (iii) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement on the part of the Seller, or of any 53 Transfer Agreement on the part of the Seller or the Originator a party thereto, or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of the Seller or any Originator; (iv) shall not be responsible to any Purchaser for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any Transfer Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; and (v) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by facsimile, telegram, cable or telex) believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties. SECTION 9.04 CIBC and Affiliates. With respect to any Pool Receivable owned by CIBC, CIBC shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and any document delivered pursuant hereto as would any Purchaser and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent. CIBC and its Affiliates may generally engage in any kind of business with the Seller, any Originator or any Obligor and any of their respective Affiliates and any Person who may do business with or own securities of the Seller, any Originator or any Obligor or any of their respective Affiliates, all as if CIBC were not the Administrative Agent and without any duty to account therefor to any Purchaser. SECTION 9.05 Purchasers' Purchase Decisions. Each Purchaser acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any of its Affiliates or any other Purchaser and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own evaluation and decision to enter into this Agreement and, if it so determines, to purchase undivided ownership interests in Pool Receivables hereunder. Each Purchaser also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any of its Affiliates or any other Purchaser and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement. SECTION 9.06 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving 30 days' written notice thereof to the Purchasers, the Seller, the Collection Agent and the Secondary Purchasers and may be removed at any time with or without cause by the Required Purchasers. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Purchasers shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent approved by the Seller (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Purchasers, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent's giving of notice of resignation or the Purchasers' removal of the Administrative Agent, then Georgia-Pacific shall appoint a Secondary Purchaser or such other Person approved by the Purchasers (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) as a successor Administrative Agent. If such successor Administrative Agent is not a Secondary Purchaser, such successor Administrative Agent shall be (a) either (i) a commercial bank having a combined capital and surplus of at least $250,000,000 or (ii) an Affiliate of such bank and (b) experienced in the types of transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Upon the acceptance of any 54 appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring Administrative Agent's resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article IX shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement. ARTICLE X. ASSIGNMENT OF RECEIVABLE INTERESTS SECTION 10.01 Assignment. (a) Each Purchaser (with respect to any Receivable Interest) may (i) without the consent of the Seller, assign to another Purchaser, any Secondary Purchaser, or to any vehicle organized by a Secondary Purchaser which is rated at least A-1 by S&P and P-1 by Moody's and (ii) with the prior written consent of the Seller (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to any other Person (such Person, and the Persons described in clause (i) above, referred to herein as "Assignees"), and any such Assignee, may, without the written consent of the Seller, assign to any Person described in clause (i) hereof and may, with the prior written consent of the Seller (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), assign to any other Person, any Receivable Interest. Upon any assignment of a Receivable Interest, (i) the Assignee shall become the owner of such Receivable Interest for all purposes of this Agreement and (ii) the assignor thereof (the "Assignor") shall relinquish its rights with respect to such Receivable Interest for all purposes of this Agreement. Any assignments hereunder shall be upon such terms and conditions as the Assignor and the Assignee may mutually agree. The parties thereto shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an assignment agreement, in substantially the form of Exhibit D hereto (an "Assignment"), duly executed by such parties, and such Assignor shall promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that the Assignee may reasonably request in order to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the Assignee's right, title and interest in and to any Receivable Interest assigned hereunder, and to enable the Assignee to exercise or enforce any rights hereunder. Upon any assignment pursuant to this Section 10.01, the Assignee thereof shall have all of the rights and obligations (and only such rights and obligations) of a Purchaser hereunder, and shall be subject to the same terms and conditions hereunder. The Administrative Agent shall provide notice to the Seller of any assignment hereunder. SECTION 10.02 Effects of Assignment. By executing and delivering an Assignment, the Assignor thereunder and the Assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment, the Assignor makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, or any other agreement, instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (ii) the Assignor makes no representation or 55 warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of the Seller or any Originator or the performance or observance by the Seller or any Originator of any of its obligations under this Agreement (in the case of the Seller) or the Transfer Agreements (in the case of the Seller and the Originators) or other agreement, instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such Assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the financial statements referred to in Section 4.01 and such other agreements, documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and to purchaser the pertinent Receivable Interests; (iv) such Assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Purchaser, any Secondary Purchaser or any of their Affiliates or such Assignor and based on such agreements, documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (v) such Assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; (vi) such Assignee appoints as its agent the Collection Agent from time to time designated pursuant to Section 6.01 to enforce its respective rights and interests in and under the pertinent Receivable Interests and the Related Security and related Contracts; and (vii) such Assignee agrees that it will not institute against any Purchaser any proceeding of the type referred to in Section 7.01(i). ARTICLE XI. MISCELLANEOUS SECTION 11.01 Amendments, Etc. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by the Seller or the Collection Agent therefrom shall be effective unless in a writing signed by all of the Purchasers or, where permitted under this Agreement, the Required Purchasers, and then such amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that no amendment or waiver of Section 6.03 or of any other provision of this Agreement which affects the rights or obligations of the Administrative Agent shall be effective unless signed by the Administrative Agent. No failure on the part of the Purchasers or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. SECTION 11.02 Notices, Etc. All notices and other communications hereunder shall, unless otherwise stated herein, be in writing (including facsimile communication) and shall be delivered or sent by facsimile, to each 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 notices and communications sent by other means shall be effective when received. 56 SECTION 11.03 Assignability; Termination. (a) This Agreement and each Purchaser's rights herein (including ownership of each Receivable Interest) shall be assignable by such Purchaser and its respective successors and assigns in accordance with Section 10.01. The term "Purchaser" shall include any owner by assignment or otherwise of a Receivable Interest but shall not include any Person to whom a participation is granted. The Seller may not assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Purchasers. (b) Any Purchaser may grant participations to any Person without the consent or knowledge of the Seller, any other Purchaser or the Administrative Agent; provided, that such grant will not affect the obligation, if any, of such Purchaser hereunder nor the obligations of the Seller hereunder. (c) The provisions of Sections 8.01, 11.04, 11.05, 11.06 and 11.07 survive any termination of this Agreement. SECTION 11.04 Costs, Expenses and Taxes. (a) In addition to the rights of indemnification granted under Section 8.01 hereof, the Seller agrees to pay on demand all reasonable costs and expenses in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery and administration (including periodic auditing of Pool Receivables) of this Agreement and the other documents and agreements to be delivered hereunder, including, without limitation, (i) the reasonable fees and expenses of Latham & Watkins, counsel for the Purchasers, actually incurred with respect to the preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Secondary Purchase Agreement and the other documents and agreements to be delivered hereunder or thereunder; (ii) the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel for the Administrative Agent actually incurred with respect to administration of this Agreement, including without limitation, advising the Administrative Agent as to its rights and remedies hereunder; and (iii) all costs and expenses, if any (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses), in connection with the enforcement or amendment of this Agreement and the other documents and agreements to be delivered hereunder. (b) In addition, the Seller shall pay on demand (i) any and all reasonable costs and expenses actually incurred by any issuing and paying agent or other Person responsible for the administration of each Purchaser's commercial paper program in connection with the preparation, completion, issuance, delivery or payment of commercial paper notes issued to fund the purchase or maintenance of any Receivable Interest, and (ii) 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. 57 (c) The Seller also shall pay on demand all other reasonable costs and expenses and all taxes (excluding income taxes) actually incurred by a Purchaser or any stockholder of a Purchaser ("Other Costs"), including (i) the costs of auditing such Purchaser's books by certified public accountants and of rating such Purchaser's commercial paper by independent financial rating agencies, (ii) the taxes (excluding income taxes) resulting from such Purchaser's operations and (iii) the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel for such Purchaser or any counsel for any shareholder of such Purchaser with respect to advising such Purchaser or shareholder as to rights and remedies under this Agreement, the enforcement of this Agreement or advising such Purchaser or shareholder as to matters relating to such Purchaser's operations; provided, that the Seller and any other persons who from time to time sell receivables or interests therein to such Purchaser ("Other Sellers") each shall be liable for such Other Costs ratably in accordance with the usage under their respective facilities; provided, further, that (i) if such Other Costs are attributable to the Seller and not attributable to any Other Seller, the Seller shall be solely liable for such Other Costs and (ii) if such Other Costs are attributable to any Other Seller and not attributable to the Seller in any way, the Seller shall not be liable for any of such Other Costs. SECTION 11.05 No Proceedings. The Seller, the Collection Agent and the Administrative Agent each hereby agrees that it will not institute or join against any Purchaser any proceeding of the type referred to in Section 7.01(i). SECTION 11.06 Confidentiality. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, rule or regulation or by court order or process, the Seller and the Collection Agent agree to maintain the confidentiality of this Agreement (and all drafts thereof) in communications with third parties and otherwise; provided, that this Agreement may be disclosed to the Seller's and the Collection Agent's legal counsel and auditors if they agree to hold it confidential. SECTION 11.07 No Recourse. The obligations of each Purchaser under this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument, document or certificate executed and delivered by or issued by such Purchaser or any officer thereof in connection herewith are solely the corporate obligations of such Purchaser. No recourse shall be had for payment of any fee or other obligation or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument, document or certificate executed and delivered or issued by such Purchaser or any officer in connection herewith, against any stockholder, employee, officer, director or incorporator of such Purchaser. The provisions of this Section 11.07 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. SECTION 11.08 Governing Law; Execution in Counterparts. (a) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (INCLUDING ITS APPLICABLE CONFLICT OF LAWS RULES). (b) 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. 58 SECTION 11.09 Construction of Agreement. It is the intention of each Transfer Agreement that the conveyance by the applicable Originator to the Seller of Receivables shall constitute a purchase and sale and not a secured loan. It is the intention of this Agreement that the Purchases and reinvestments shall convey to the Purchasers, to the extent of their Receivable Interests, undivided ownership interests in the Pool Receivables and that each such transaction shall constitute a purchase and sale and not a secured loan. If, notwithstanding such intention, the conveyance of Receivables from any Originator to the Seller pursuant to a Transfer Agreement shall ever be characterized as a secured loan and not a sale, then the Seller shall be deemed to have transferred to the Purchasers, in addition to the Receivable Interests, all of the Seller's right, title and interest in, to and under the obligations of such Originator deemed to be secured by a pledge of such Receivables, and, in such event, this Agreement and the filings of the UCC statements referred to in Section 3.01(b) shall be deemed to have granted (subject to the exceptions set forth in Section 4.01 hereof), to the Purchasers a duly perfected security interest prior to all other liens on and security interests in all of the Seller's right, title, and interest in, to and under the obligations of such Originator to the Seller deemed to be secured by such pledge, and the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to be an independent custodian for purposes of perfection of the security interest granted to the Seller. If the conveyance of the Receivable Interests from the Seller to the Purchasers shall ever be characterized as a secured loan and not a sale, it is the intention of this Agreement that this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law, and that the Seller shall be deemed to have granted to the Purchasers a duly perfected security interest in all of the Seller's right, title and interest in, to and under the Pool Receivables, all payments on or with respect to such Pool Receivables, all other rights relating to and payments made in respect of the Pool Receivables, and all proceeds of any thereof prior to all other liens on and security interests therein. 59 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Agreement to be executed by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized, as of the date first above written.
