principal amount of the Subordinated Note
at any time shall be equal to the
difference between (i) the sum of the

addition to the principal amount of the
Subordinated Note pursuant to Section
2.02(c) as of such time and (ii) the
aggregate amount of all payments made in
respect of the principal of the
Subordinated Note as of such time. All payments
made in respect of the Subordinated Note
shall be allocated, first, to pay
accrued and unpaid interest thereon and,

or contributed to the Buyer
hereunder), together with all Related
Security with respect thereto.
SECTION 2.03. Collections. (a) On each Business Day, the
Servicer
shall apply all Collections released to the
Buyer pursuant to the Receivables
Purchase Agreement (i) first, to pay the
Purchase Price then owing by the Buyer
hereunder on such date, (ii) second, to pay
the reasonable operating expenses of
the Buyer then due and payable, (iii)
third, if such date is a Settlement Date,
to pay the accrued and unpaid interest on
the outstanding principal amount of
the Subordinated Note for the most recently
ended calendar month and (iv)

principal amount of the Subordinated
Note. The Servicer shall, on
6
<PAGE>
or before each Settlement Date, deposit
into an account of the Buyer or the
Buyer's assignee all remaining Collections
of Transferred Receivables (if any)
then held by the Servicer (but only to the
extent such Collections have not been
previously applied to purchase new
Receivables hereunder or to make payments
under the Subordinated Note).
(b) In the event that
the Originator believes that collections which
are not Collections of Transferred
Receivables have been deposited into an
account of the Buyer or the Buyer's
assignee, the Originator shall so advise the
Buyer and, on the Business Day following
such identification to the Buyer's
reasonable satisfaction, the Buyer shall
instruct the Servicer to remit such
collections to the Originator.
(c) On each Settlement
Date, the Buyer shall, to the extent
Collections are available for such purpose
under the Receivables Purchase
Agreement and are not required to pay the
Purchase Price for any Receivables
purchased hereunder, pay to the Originator
accrued interest on the Subordinated
Note; provided, however, that each such
payment shall be made solely from
Collections of Transferred Receivables
after all other amounts then due from the
Buyer under the Receivables Purchase
Agreement have been paid in full and all
amounts then required to be set aside by
the Buyer or the Servicer under the
Receivables Purchase Agreement have been so
set aside; provided, further that no
such payment shall be made at any time (i)
when a Termination Event or Incipient
Termination Event shall have occurred and
be continuing or (ii) during the
period between the Termination Date and the
Final Payout Date. On each Business
Day from and after the Final Payout Date,
the Buyer shall apply all Collections
of Transferred Receivables received by it
(and not previously distributed) first
to the payment of accrued interest on the
Subordinated Note, and then to the
reduction of the principal amount of the
Subordinated Note until paid in full.
SECTION 2.04. Settlement Procedures. (a) If on any day any
Transferred
Receivable becomes (in whole or in part) a
Diluted Receivable, the Originator
shall be deemed to have received on such
day a Collection of such Receivable in
the amount of such Diluted Receivable
(each, a "Deemed Collection").
(b) If on any day it
is determined that any of the representations
and warranties set forth in Section 4.01
with respect to any Transferred
Receivable shall not have been true when
made with respect to such Transferred
Receivable, the Originator shall repurchase
such Receivable on such day by
paying to the Buyer an amount equal to the
Outstanding Balance of such
Transferred Receivable (the "Repurchase
Price").
(c) The Originator
shall pay to the Servicer the amount of all Deemed
Collections and the amount of any
Repurchase Price on or before the next
Settlement Date after the date of such
deemed receipt or the date of repurchase,
as applicable; provided, however, that,
prior to the Termination Date, such
Deemed Collections and Repurchase Price may
be paid by way of a credit (each a
"Purchase Price Credit") against the
Purchase Price otherwise payable by the
Buyer hereunder in respect of Receivables
arising on or after such date;
provided, further that if any Purchase
Price Credits remain unused upon the
earlier to occur of (i) the Termination
Date and (ii) the first Settlement Date
to occur after the Calculation Period in
which such Purchase Price Credits
arose, then the Originator shall pay to the
Buyer on such date in cash the
amount of such unused Purchase Price
Credits.
7
<PAGE>
(d) Except as
otherwise required by law or the relevant Contract, all
Collections from an Obligor of any
Transferred 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.
SECTION 2.05. Payments and Computations, Etc. (a) All amounts to
be
paid or deposited by the Originator or the
Servicer hereunder shall be paid or
deposited no later than 12:00 Noon (New
York City time) on the day when due in
same day funds to an account or accounts
designated by the Buyer from time to
time.
(b) The Originator
shall, to the extent permitted by law, pay to the
Buyer interest on any amount not paid or
deposited by the Originator (whether as
Servicer or otherwise) when due hereunder
at an interest rate per annum equal to
2.00% per annum above the Alternate Base
Rate, payable on demand.
(c) All computations
of interest hereunder shall be made on the basis
of a year of 365 (or 366, as applicable)
days for the actual number of days
(including the first but excluding the last
day) 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 2.06. Contributions. The Originator shall on the Closing
Date,
and may from time to time thereafter at its
option, by notice to the Buyer on or
prior to the date of the proposed
contribution, identify Receivables which it
proposes to transfer to the Buyer as a
capital contribution to the Buyer. On the
date of each such contribution and after
giving effect thereto, the Buyer shall
own all right, title and interest in and to
the Receivables so identified and
contributed (collectively, the "Contributed
Receivables") and all Related
Security relating to such Receivables and
all Collections with respect thereto
and other proceeds of such Receivables and
Related Security.
SECTION 2.07. Intent of the Originator and the Buyer. The
Originator
and the Buyer have structured this
Agreement with the intention that each sale
of Receivables hereunder be treated as a
sale of such Receivables by the
Originator to the Buyer for all purposes
and each contribution of Receivables
hereunder shall be treated as an absolute
transfer of such Receivables by the
Originator to the Buyer for all purposes.
The Originator and the Buyer shall
record each sale and contribution as a sale
or capital contribution, as the case
may be, on its books and records, and
reflect each sale and contribution in its
financial statements as a sale or capital
contribution, as the case may be.
SECTION 2.08. Grant of Security Interest. As collateral security
for
the performance by the Originator of all
the terms, covenants and agreements on

Transaction Document, including the
punctual payment when due of all amounts
payable by it hereunder and thereunder,
the Originator hereby grants to the Buyer a

Adverse
Effect.

rights generally
and by principles of equity, regardless of whether such
enforceability

(e) Each sale and
contribution of Receivables made pursuant to this
Agreement will
constitute a valid sale, transfer, and assignment of such
Receivables to
the Buyer, enforceable against creditors of, and purchasers
from, the
Originator. The Originator shall have no remaining property
interest in any
Transferred Receivable.

at, December 29,
2001 and December 28, 2002, and (y) as of and for the
fiscal quarter
and the portion of the fiscal year ended March 29, 2003. The
financial
statements described in clause (x) of this Section 4.01(f) were

28, 2002, there has been no change,
occurrence or
development that has had or could reasonably be expected to
have a Material
Adverse Effect.
(g) There are no
actions, suits or proceedings by or before any
Official Body
pending against or, to the knowledge of the Executive

determined, and (ii) if so determined either (x) would
reasonably be
expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a
Material Adverse
Effect or (y) seek to enjoin, unwind or otherwise
materially and
adversely affect the transactions contemplated by the
Transaction
Documents.

Purchase will be used for a purpose that
violates or
would be inconsistent with, Regulation T, U or X promulgated by
the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System from time to time.

bulk sales act
or similar law.

Originator will
be the owner of such Receivables and all Related Security
with respect thereto,
free and clear of any Adverse Claim (other than
Adverse Claims
created hereunder and under the Receivables Purchase
Agreement). The

ownership
interest in each Transferred Receivable now existing or
hereafter
arising and in
the Related Security and Collections with respect thereto,
in each case
free and clear of any Adverse Claim (other than Adverse Claims
created
hereunder and under the Receivables Purchase Agreement). No
effective
financing statement or other instrument similar in effect, is
filed in any
recording office listing the Originator as debtor, covering
any Receivable,
any interest therein, the Related Security or Collections
except such as
may be filed in favor of the Buyer in accordance with this
Agreement. Prior
